> Mobile devices matter because they cannot maintain persistent connections.

This isn't really a property of the device. It's an OS limitation. Nokia Series 60 didn't have a platform push service, so WhatsApp had to maintain a connection from the app to the servers to get messages without delay; it was not unusual to find Series 60 phones connected for 30+ days when I worked at WhatsApp. The newest versions of Nokia Series 40 had push, but older versions had to long-connect as well. Some mobile networks aren't great at letting connections work for longer times either, but some can.

But yeah, Apple only lets Apple keep connections open. Android doesn't have hard and fast rules, but background connections are likely to die, you should use push if you can. The push services connection is going to try to stay connected for a long time though.
My memory was that it was being called a "genetically engineered" virus in a way that made it sound like the focus wasn't a lab leak (accident) but an intentional weaponization.
Time to wheel out this old classic then: https://cuberule.com/
Weirdly, one was Facebook. The reason for all the other failures was that almost every site had either changed their password requirements and reset everyone's passwords when I was locked up (and so far in the past for me that I had missed the boat and now was terminally locked out), or they had introduced some sort of multi-factor authentication, and again I had missed the boat on the change-over and re-authentication and could no longer get in.

Frustratingly the worst ones were the biggest accounts, e.g. Google, because most of these companies were now boasting that they had rid themselves completely of human support and that if you could no longer access your account then you should simply create a new one. Years or decades of stored data be damned.
Vitess increases the number of things that can go wrong in a high traffic MySQL cluster by an order of magnitude. When you need it you need it but “straightforward to operate” only describes vitess in the most abstract of theoretical happy path situations.
I recommend watching the interview with Cameron. You say deep sea diving history is pretty sad, well actually there have been amazingly few incidents (and even fewer deaths) in the history of deep sea diving. And the engineering challenges are pretty well understood. They were just ignored in this case.
I did read the instructions and I also assumed that I should use my judgment to determine whether the intent of the sign was violated. If the author had wanted otherwise, they should have said something like "Forget everything you about how laws are written and interpreted in the real world and simply take the most literal interpretation you can, with no regard for how ridiculous the outcome might be."
Dependency injection & Inversion of control.

Technically 2 concepts but they’re highly related.

Basically, allow the consumer of a component to pass in something, rather than the component needing to contain that logic.

It’s great for front end systems, but also apples to backend and general systems programming… an invaluable concept
As I recall, ytalk allowed for larger groups, although it gets messy pretty quick.
What is your definition of need? If I need to meet friends in the park in five minutes I clearly need a car to get there in time. So the car would not be a vehicle in that case?
Have you tried the latest version of Anki? Its design has become modern. From a technical perspective, a software written in Rust, Python, Svelte, and TypeScript should not be considered "very dated". The only issue I see is that I still haven't figured out what "card" and "note" mean, even though I've been using it for more than a year.
If you want some feedback email me and I’ll check your work. I don’t work at Fly.io but I have over a decade of backend experience including Google, Apple, etc.

If they said it would take 4 hours and you spent 10 hours on it, it’s likely your approach was ineffective compared to a more skilled engineer.

There's no perfect way, but fizzbuzz is perfectly acceptable to me (do you really want to work somewhere with employees who couldn't pass it?), and leetcode is too, as long as it doesn't rely on some trick that selects for memorizers over problem solvers.

I don't know why HN is so against algorithms problems. It is not something I have ever needed to "grind" because I understand ds&a well. While the more exotic ds&a you won't use on the job, and IMO shouldn't be tested for, IME the most complicated datastructures you generally need for both algorithms problems and on the job are hashmaps and hashsets.
> It's very, very hard to find the "old days" true affiliate that drives any significant traffic.

The shame here is that Louis Rossmann is that type of "old school" affiliate. I buy equipment because he talks about it in detail. Otherwise I might just pick up whatever is at Microcenter, etc.

Ditto on the Pis. I use zoneminder, but whatever works, works.

I also have a few IR cameras that work ok. The biggest issue is finding decent ir LEDs.

The ones that come with the IR cameras aren't great. I purchased standalone IR LEDs, which are better for reliability and ir illumination.

They promised this person if they completed it, they would get an actual human response back.

Not only did they not get a response back, they didn't get a response back from anybody, even when directly trying to follow-up.

And this was what was promised for spending 4 hours of your time on something.

At the very least, that seems unfair.
In my current job, I had an onboarding phase of 1 year. Had 3 months in the previous one. Guess I am lucky.

In my experience abstracting before you know all the use cases is generally the problem.

Write the simplest abstraction first, then as the system develops combine similar use cases into useful abstractions for clarity
I got 11%, not sure what that means, but I was very lax it seems.
Let’s not ignore the sexism here, because what you’ve written is pretty a blatant example. Besides that, the fact that you seem to have unironically written something like this:

makes me feel that you are either completely ignorant of women’s issues or minimizing them, neither of which helps your case.
Haven't yet seen this tool, but here's a quick answer. A few years ago, after skimming through the docs, I gave up on Anki because it seemed too complicated. I was using SuperMemo back when it was a DOS (and later Windows 3) application, I consider myself a fairly sophisticated user (e.g. I have a good expertise on LaTeX, even coauthored a textbook, I know Emacs very well, also authored a textbook), I've been a hobby programmer for over 3 decades and a professional one for 7 years, earlier I did a PhD in maths, etc., etc. And still Anki looked intimidating. That says something about "good enough". There's definitely space for an easy to use SRS out there.

I am using Anki now, btw, although I use it in a very simple way, but I think the point still stands. (Also, I agree that any new SRS should be somehow Anki-compatible.)
I'm doubtful. In my experience the hour requirement hours number is under estimated.
Well a hobbyist that took 4 years to develop his design so not just some dude who built something over a weekend. And by that logic a lot of countries could make ICBM nukes on their own - why don't we open source that technology since there's no reason not to share it since they already could probably figure it out.
It is customizable:

> Not everyone is going to be happy with the idea of the 'go' command downloading and running binaries from the Internet. If this is the case for you, you need to set GOTOOLCHAIN to either 'path', if you're happy to search $PATH for the right toolchain, or 'local', if you want to turn off this behavior entirely and have 'go' just fail.
> Anspach played Monopoly in Czechoslovakia as a child, Pilon wrote. Later, in Berkeley in the early 1970s, he played with his wife and sons. But with an oil crisis developing and consumer suffering on the rise, the game's message seemed less fun. "The board game rewarded something in play that hurt people in reality," Anspach thought, according to Pilon's account.

A somewhat well-known fact is that the creator of Monopoly created it in 1903 as anti-monopoly social commentary:

> American anti-monopolist Lizzie Magie created a game that she hoped would explain the single-tax theory of Henry George. It was intended as an educational tool, to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies.[0]

The creator of the original game was relatively radical for her time:

> Taking out a newspaper advertisement, she offered herself as a ‘young woman American slave’ for sale to the highest bidder. Her aim, she told shocked readers, was to highlight the subordinate position of women in society. ‘We are not machines,’ she said. ‘Girls have minds, desires, hopes and ambition.’[1]

Anyways, it seems this "Anti-Monopoly" was, in fact, more of an "extension" than a rebuttal. It appears that the creator (Ralph Anspach) was aware of that and actually crusaded to bring public awareness to the origins of Monopoly, partially to weaken the intellectual property rights of Parker Brothers.[2]

Also of note, these games were destroyed after Anspach lost the first court case but he ended up winning on appeal, despite federal congress passing a statutory law specifically to address Monopoly vs. Anti-Monopoly! To prove the historical connection, you can read a report[3] to the Committee on the Judiciary which talks about the justification for the law, in context of these board games. Due to this law, Parker Brothers and its parent company, Hasbro, continue to hold valid trademarks for the game Monopoly. (And OpenAI can trademark "Generative Pre-Training").

Anti-Monopoly was, however, exempted from the new law; after winning appeals, Anspach later reached a settlement with Hasbro and markets his game under license from them. It is still published by San Francisco University Games to this day[4] and can be purchased on Amazon[5].

What this showcases isn't an issue with moderation, it's a lack of shared culture in digital spaces.

When we interact in the real world we manage to behave not because we have some sort of logical crystal palace where every word is rigorously defined, but because we have an implicit, shared sensibility for what's appropriate. When you go and sit down in a café you don't measure your noise level and there's no sign saying "only talk at 80db!", you have an intuitive and non-verbal idea of what offends the people around you.

If people disagree about the questions in this experiment the correct conclusion isn't to do away with moderation or argue about word definitions, it's to argue for shared culture in online spaces. HN is a good example. Most people who post here I think have a decent grasp of how not to act, and take little offense with moderation, despite the fact that there aren't many rules other than the occasional reminder to be civil.
The problem is that it won’t always be enforced that way.

For example: in the city of Melbourne, there are sometimes signs instructing cyclists to dismount (e.g. at railway level crossings), or that you aren’t permitted to cycle in such-and-such a place (e.g. railway platform). Their illustrations always depict an upright bicycle. I ride a recumbent tricycle, which the Road Safety Road Rules considers to be a bicycle. The reasons for dismounting simply don’t apply: my wheels won’t get caught in rails and I won’t fall over, and in fact dismounting will make matters worse. And the reasons for not cycling in most of the so-marked places are seriously diminished and heavily counterbalanced: I can easily and safely travel at pedestrian speed, and I will be far more of an obstruction on your thoroughfare if you require that I stand up and awkwardly push my vehicle along, steering only with difficulty (normally mostly by nudging one of the front wheels with one foot as I walk), taking up a lot more space and not going straight or at the same speed as others. Common sense says I should ignore such signs and assess each situation individually. But I tried applying common sense like this on a railway platform once and was severely threatened with a fine. Meanwhile, mobility scooters are really pretty similar to me in contextual characteristics (my vehicle interacts in such situations much more like one of them than like an upright bicycle), but they’re fine.

(Aside: in the state of Victoria, the road rules classify my vehicle as a bicycle; but in New Zealand, the road rules classify it and bicycles as cycles, and only mention bicycles in one section, about wearing helmets. No attention is drawn to the use of a different word, but it’s clear that tricyclists are genuinely not legally required to wear helmets—which does actually make some sense, as the majority of scenarios where a helmet is beneficial to a bicyclist either don’t apply, or apply vastly less often, to recumbent tricyclists.)
I really don't understand. Maybe I'm stupid. But I don't see the issue.

I work with go daily, but I'm pretty sure our binary is pegged to a specific go version, using go.mod

I don't see in what scenario I would add a dependency and it would unexpectedly upgrade my go toolchain? Isn't my toolchain version pegged by a go.mod file?

This article may raise a valid concern, but it doesn't propose a clear alternative or solution.

I'm not a go truther but there seems to be lot of pessimism around it (error handling, generics, and now toolchain) and not enough optimism.

> Seeing Westerners instinctively reaching for "the best known source" tells why something like this came as a surprise in the first place

Except for the specific timing, it didn’t, really. The spiralling conflict between Prigozhin and the military establishment has been heavily covered in Western media, that a catastrophic breach was a likely eventuality has been talked about by Western experts for a while, and was seen as particularly likely with the recent move to consolidate control of the PMCs under MoD command, which was viewed as directed very much at Prigozhin specifically.
Yeah applying a very loose, or perhaps pedantic, definition of vehicle (it doesn't specify size, for example) combined with a reasonable understanding of "in" ie including air space in proportion to the size of a regular park led me to say most things were in violation of the rule. Those were the only relevant factors, all the other info was fluff.

I considered ISS to be outside it, and that was pretty much it. My views weren't shared with too many, about 11%.
> Is “No pornography” a rule? It doesn’t specify any prohibited action and on its own isn’t a complete thought, let alone a rule.

If you were to open a subreddit, or walk up to a library computer/print shop counter and saw "No Pornography" under rules - would you be unable to figure out what's being asked of you? If so, then that seems like a complete thought and a perfectly comprehendible rule to me.
I currently get about 5ish hours SoT on full brightness and a million browser tabs open, which is quite bad compared to what I've heard from other people (and honestly a bit disappointing since battery was supposed to be one of the greatest improvements for the M1). I've recently heard though that screen and keyboard brightness has an enormous impact on battery, so I need to remember to try lowering it and see if it improves. Standby has a slight drain, but I've found it to be the least of my problems since it's not much and I plug it in every night. If anyone has any tips to make my battery last longer, I am very interested to hear them.

> You wouldn't be trying to give a ticket to planes flying overhead

except you have just applied an assumption (which is often true) that may not be true depending on circumstances - that the planes were excluded because it couldn't have caused any negative effect.

For example, if the park had been https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese#Isolation_and_unco... , and the intention was to keep the indigenous peoples isolated.

But this isn't a part of the rule, and it is an interpretation of the rule by the administrator. A different administrator might interpret planes that fly higher than audible altitude would be OK, while another one might consider a visual detection altitude to be a violation. And another might consider no altitude to be permissible (because if they crashed right there, they'd be falling into the park).
He described it in the video - he uses two motors. The launch motor is held in place by friction and is ejected by the ignition of the landing motor.
IIRC the go version in go.mod is a minimum go toolchain version. In the future if you pull in a dep with a higher minimum toolchain version, it would be unbuildable without upgrading your toolchain. I expect there is an env variable to disable this, though.

Visualization maybe, but writing by hand? Until recently (when I started working on an art-related project) writing by hand alone took more concentration than solving actual tasks, not to mention writing in a fashion so someone can read it. I simply didn't write by hand for the last 15+ years.

> At minimum think about the difference between placing an infrequently written logical sector vs a frequently written one, and what the optimal strategy would be given physical blocks with varying write life left on them.

That's not a simple answer but why would it depend on whose chips you have?

> What is the behavior vs temperature and what are you running the thing at?

This is where you might start seeing differences between manufacturers. But this is also optimization. If you don't have this information the chip should still meet a minimum spec and you can use a conservative value. If you do know it you can do something more efficient. And if this becomes popular the chip makers will start publishing what's necessary to do the optimization.
I was thinking along these lines as well but after reading the explanation at the end of the game, I’m not so sure.

The rule is no vehicles in the park. I’ve also concluded that an ambulance or police responding to a call didn’t violate the rule but saw that a lot of people seemed to think it did. And it made me think.

The rules say to not apply any other rule but the stated one. And if you follow the rule to the letter, a police car in the park is a vehicle in the park , violates the rule. It’s dumb but it does.

Common sense says it shouldn’t but the rule says it does and the instructions say to only consider the rule with no nuance.

That was my issue for a long time. I even talked with their founder several times on twitter back a few years ago. Each time I was greeted with buzzwords, that I knew the meaning of but I think they assumed I didn't.

They would claim grand things like having solved the issues with continuations and delimited continuations, distributed process migration and a whole host of other very hard problems that haven't been solved in the past. I would ask their founder: "right, so you know that delimited continuations have problems with accidental captured scope, they run poorly on the JVM, how did you solve this, have any papers I can read?", and all I ever got was that Clojure, immutable data, X and Y would fix these issues and you just had to wait and see what they were cooking up.

That's when I knew they had no clue what they were doing. I'm all for pushing the boundaries of tech, but if you're doing something attempted many times before, you at least need a good elevator pitch as to why it's solved now.

I think a great example of this done right is Rich talking about Clojure. People would ask "isn't immutable data expensive to reclaim and allocate". And his reply was always that the JVM's GC was just that good that the benefits to be gained from immutable data outweighed the marginal performance penalty of the amount of garbage collected. What changed since the old lisp days? Well we now have GCs that are super fast and JITs that can optimize dynamic code well.

That's the sort of laser focused vision I never saw from Red Planet labs. You gotta get that problem statement and the solution out early, refine the elevator pitch and be able to articulate to people who know what they're talking about how you're going to succeed where others have failed for decades.
