The court current hold that growing a plant on your own land to feed to your own animals is "interstate commerce"[0]. Lawyers can squeeze some kind of case out of this. You might not win in the courts, but such a lawsuit can also build political support for things like anti-trust enforcement, data protection laws, advertising regulation, etc.

The money printing and tech investing bonanza has allowed many programmers to flex their programming expertise without considering real-world resource costs. Now those bills come knocking and everyone acts like the previous utopian paradigm was somehow sustainable. I'm calling bullshit.

If the fediverse ever had this kind of scraping pressure, it would collapse in minutes.
This reminds me of a café in Lausanne that started operations by selling lifetime, three-coffees-per-month subscriptions, and then after a year or so "management changed" and they annulled all subscriptions:D
Bush W., used this same logic for second Gulf War. He actually said that the war would pay for itself. Even if illegal, he is on video stating this, (video from before fakes).
Does no one do preemptive load testing any more?

This kind of metastability _should_ be detectable through fairly simple load till failure testing and recovery monitoring. The 10x load cited is a red herring when pulling static config during recovery is their bottleneck
It's a glitch, many people report it in reddit thread:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/14ntk2k/rate_limit...

For me (web version in Chrome):

Home page - "Something went wrong. Try reloading."

Individual tweets - "Sorry, you are rate limited. Please wait a few moments then try again." + "Something went wrong. Try reloading."

Interestingly, lists still work as usual.

UPD1 There's a spike of reports: https://downdetector.com/status/twitter/

UPD2 Lists also display "Something went wrong. Try reloading." intermittingly now, spike on downdetector keeps growing

I only worked with local recruitment companies back i the day. I’ve met plenty of recruiters in their office an for lunch.

This was pre-remote work. Even now, I wouldn’t just random work with recruitment companies. I work with people. I would reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn and start a conversation.

Honestly though, at this point in my career, I doubt that I would ever go through a third party recruiter again just because I do have a network.
I don’t think anybody is arguing that consistency is _the only thing_ that matters. The argument is that « consistent and reasonable patterns » is preferable to « inconsistent yet just-as reasonable patterns » by most criteria
None of what you wrote is true but truth matters little to Russian trolls.
The world hasn't moved on though, Isn't clojure, racket and more showing we're just going to keep re-inventing lisp.

The points you make sound like you're assuming that newer == better, and 'moving on' is innovation. I'm not sure our current batch of fast fashion languages are significant improvements, they would need to provide a feature that lisp does not, and if so, what is it ?
The best interview that I ever experienced was when I applied for a Software Engineer position at VMware. The interviewers brought a laptop with an IDE and a project with a bunch of source code (based on one of their real in-house projects), and the task was to understand the exising code base and add a few new features to it.
A real everyday task, no crazy algorithms or other menthal gymnastics.
Oh thank Goodness, I thought I was suspended.
They have so far and have reason to continue to, not just because of how they feel about HN but because the economics of curiosity are a good fit for YC's business. That's the miracle (I would even say) about HN - it occupies a sweet spot where it can be funded to just be good*, and the economics work because it's in the interests of the business.

Understood, is not news I would typically follow, so unknown to me. Thanks for link to another source!

As with most answers, this one comes with questions of its own. If it was that well known and obvious, why did it take so long to move on it? I'm now interested in this topic. :D
In general, open-source all abandonware. Here's a few examples of non-game old software that would benefit the society if open-sourced:

Windows 9x and classic Mac OS. No one has sold these OSes for 20+ years and they turned out to be evolutionary dead ends. It would make sense to release their sources so people could learn from them and run them on new hardware more easily.

Flash Player. Adobe has stated in no uncertain terms that Flash is dead. Is there any good reason why the sources need to stay closed if they aren't going to make any further gains, financial or otherwise, from this product and its ecosystem? I mean the Flash Player plugin and standalone app specifically, not the Flash authoring software — that's still alive under a new name, Adobe Animate.

Trident, the Internet Explorer engine. Again, it's dead for good as far as Microsoft is concerned, so why not release its sources for people to learn and hack on?

Presto, the Opera engine. This was leaked and of course I hoarded it, but it would be nice to see an official release.

Winamp. The company behind it pivoted to some kind of streaming social donation thing. It does not seem interested in maintaining the old Winamp app.

Path, the social media thing for "close friends", their mobile apps. The apps were insanely cool, especially at the time of Path's peak around 2013, but the service was shut down a few years ago. Unless they're going to somehow resurrect the service, there's no good reason for the sources for the apps to remain closed. I'd love to take a look at their implementation of real-time photo filters.

Thinking of it, it makes more sense for non-game apps than for games to release sources. Old games do sometimes come out as "remasters" for modern platforms. These usually reuse the engine and sometimes some of the assets. Non-game software, on the other hand, when it's dead, it's usually dead for good.
As a FOSS developer, i must say that for me, users as a whole (in contrast to a community around the project) are the primary purpose of developing FOSS.

And even if i just looked on non-contributing users in a utilitarian way, they are still useful for project brand recognition.

"Nothing happens without the CIA" is just as comforting as "Nothing happens without God" I suppose; both presuppose the existence of an all-powerful entity controlling everything, as a ward against having to acknowledge randomness and absurdity.
the language was outcompeted by java and never recovered. it is less aligned for enterprise development

lisp code often takes advantage of lisp’s language features to define DSLs in their projects and don’t document them well. it can be more challenging to figure out how lisp code works than java, which prioritizes predictability and standardization

Java is much easier to pick up and be productive with for C++ programmers, which were a major target audience

and Oracle put out absolutely insane amounts of marketing at the time

java’s built in libraries are extensive and cover more real world needs than what is specified by CL

so CL fell to the wayside and lost market share. and with fewer people using it, there have been fewer libraries available for common programming needs
i used it extensively and cannot think back on any time i thought the cmd line was slow
Hindsight is 20/20. This specific attack configuration highlighted a weak point.

What you don’t know about are all the other attacks that did not impact the service, because the way load testing was performed already lead to some mesures being taken.
They really need to change the cancel process. It makes them seem like amateurs. I feel like Sirius radio and the nytimes are run by the same people, and if you’re the nytimes that’s a problem.
It's already on the Appstore, you just need to setup a Invidious or Piped instance to watch YouTube.
I am a big fan of Manjaro as a distro, but I would not recommend it to someone coming from Windows simply because things move fast and break - I've personally had proprietary software that worked at first, but later broke because libc had moved on. My solution (after trying plenty of workarounds) was to run it in an Ubuntu docker, but that upgrade cost me a lot of time and I don't expect somebody coming from Windows to put up with that much pain.

I also don't want to recommend Ubuntu (if I had to pick a single reason it would be snap), but from a problem-googleability-index point of view, it's hard to beat. Perhaps Mint, because it's mostly Ubuntu, but without snap (last I checked).
Funny to think what the US will gain tru this meddling in European affairs by though talk and providing billions in support to Zelenskys regime: even more bases outside their jurisdiction to further their global dominance, and the ones on Ukrainian territory lie right next to Russia. MAJOR gain. And on a second note ofc increased TAM for their products and services, fuelled by Ukrainian indebtness.

One can only puke thinking about that.
Thank god there's Blender so 3D artists don't have to pay the ridiculous price for 3ds max and Maya. (Why the hell was Autodesk allowed to buy Maya?)
> For example, Quake‘s ingame console commands were stored in a linked list. I believe looking up a command was a linear search through that list. You wouldn‘t do it like that today.

Sure you would! You think those dinosaurs like Carmack didn't know about tree-like structures and hash tables back in the 90s? They did, it is just that (I assume) their main goal was to optimize something that is computed every frame, not once in a blue moon when player inputs a console command, which latency doesn't matter that much anyway whether is is 1ms or 10ms. In fact, toying with advanced data structures for console optimization sound like something junior engineer would get reprimanded for by seniors, if caught up wasting time on it.
Are you the author?

This forum is in English. Post in other languages are usually ignored or flagged, unless they are very unique.

Also, I think a post with more technical details may get more traction here. Are the technical details in the video?
I feel like this summarizes my experience of life, that I'm for some reason constitutionally incapable of assuming a binary accurately captures the range of possibilities for a given situation, but I live in a world where this is a baseline assumption.

Even as a child, I couldn't process the questions correctly. My parents would ask, "Do you want Cheerios or Froot Loops for breakfast?" and I would reply, "No, I want waffles." I wasn't intending to be a smartass. It wasn't until my late teens that I finally realized why people got so annoyed with me when that happened.

Now I mostly notice it in the political context: "Are you voting for [donkey] or [elephant]?" "No, of course not. They both suck."

The reply I always get is, "Well not voting for [the one I think is less bad] is a vote for [the evils the other will promote]," but no! No it isn't.

If you assume the entire range of options is captured by the binary in front of you, you've already lost.
Of course, it is a messy situation, where the bat-shit people and realpolitik have a venn-diagram that has a lot of cross over. Ukraine wasn't some paradise of unification before the war, and Russia wasn't completely evil. But, sorting it out, good luck.

There are some real historians that would agree with a lot of 'Russian Talking Points' does that mean they are bat-shit crazy? OR, is Russia pretty good at adding into their talking points enough 'reality' to make it convincing.
Fair enough. By “you consented … when you agreed”, I really meant “one consents … when one agrees”, as is common in informal English.

Yes, it’s a mistake to rely on social media content remaining up forever, agreed. That’s separate from ownership. Backups are important even for data on a hard drive you physically own, since hard drives can fail or be damaged or lost.
Back in 2008... In a world where Facebook was eating social media in PHP, Google was famous regarding its python use, Ruby on Rails was the startup darling (and that was before byte compilation!)...

Just mentioning you had a project in Lisp would get you questions like "isn't it interpreted and slow?" - fortunately good business clients rarely care about language something is written in...
I agree that it could become a problem but I'd rather wait until the problem shows itself clearly, rather than (potentially) over-reacting in advance. Sometimes the medicine turns out to be worse than the disease; plus it's a better fit for being lazy.

Don't do that unless you want a random commenter shitting on the code you wrote 20 years ago when it finally leaks it.

You can run multi billion dollar companies that way (Reddit, Twitter, Meta, Tesla), hell you can get richest-man-in-the-world by shitting on everything.
This will probably kill the utm_source as a standard. Companies that want this will blob encode all the fields or rename when generating links and remap back on their reverse proxies.

Another luminary passes. Thank you, Mr. Lancaster.

Although I was introduced to him through his electronics books, I think it's no exaggeration to say that of all the books I've read, it was "The Incredible Secret Money Machine" that had the largest influence in my life.

Too many years ago, when I was getting ready to start my new business, I read pretty much every business book I could lay my hands on. Although easily the shortest, "The Incredible Secret Money Machine" was the best of them by a longshot. It distills fairly commonsense business advice into a short collection of concentrated wisdom, and tailors it for the one-person venture. I think part of the value is that is isn't an academic treatise on entrepreneurship. It's more like a short writeup on what worked and didn't work for Don's own business ventures.

I think that in every business mistake I've made, I can point to a page in that book where he said outright not to do whatever I did.
Tell me how Grand Gulf nuclear power station makes Port Gibson MS a nice place to live (my dad took a 1.5 hour commute to live in Vicksburg instead)? Honestly, the nicest place we ever lived was the Tri cities when my dad worked at Hanford.
To be clear, the keywords to tick the boxes are all still there, just presented in the context in which you used them, which adds additional meaning and qualifies what you mean by "having experience with X" to an informed reader. My CV has them in bold so that the HR person won't miss them on a quick scan.

That said, if you optimise your CV for success in recruitment processes where no one understands what you're talking about, you will get jobs at places where no one knows what they're talking about.
Not the case where I live in Europe (German speaking countries). From what I've been told by people in HR, lot of people desperate to emigrate from Africa and East-Asia will spam every tech company with applications even if they don't fit the job requirements or the company doesn't offer visa sponsorship so even small-ish companies use automated filters as they get too many applications that don't fit the job description and overwhelm the short staffed HR department.

Also, what is a "tech company" to you? Does making SW & HW scanning and moving devices for the semiconductor, automotive and shipping industry not count as "tech"? I feel like SV has stolen the word "tech" from "technology" to now mean "disruptive VC funded mobile web start-up founded to make money on advertising, skirting regulations and tracking users", the same way cryptocurrencies have stolen the "crypto" from "cryptography".
man I wish they had open sourced OS/2. It could have a linux sized community at this point.

Sadly microsoft had put so much of their code in it, that they didn't allow the release (according to my dad who worked for IBM and was even called "Mr. OS/2" because he had sold it so good to companies)
Not only that but unauthenticated access is the easiest thing to cache. There is no need to "bring large numbers of servers online". He's lying.
When I last tried to use Linux - I was not able to install GPU drivers without using the terminal.

Sorry, but that's not a drop-in replacement.
I don't see a problem here. As with most other drugs for which a time-release form already exists, you would start on the instant-release form until your reaction is known and your dosage is dialled in. Then your doctor is able to calculate the correct dosage for the time-release form -- often there is a guideline for conversion between the two forms which is distributed by the pharma company.
That works great when you already have a personal network and/or some cachet.
This shows you have not been on the fediverse and certainly have not indulged with communities mostly populated by long-time fedizens who view it as a place from their community to their community. There is a lot of feeling of community, inside instances, wider subcommunities, with a great example being the push to pre-emptively block all Meta instances and projects.

We are told at BigTech interview training that if a candidate starts talking about any area that is protected, immediately change the subject.

But when I was interviewing at your normal corp dev or startup, I would purposefully try to squeeze in tidbits about my personal life to hint at how important I found work life balance so companies who didn’t respect that would filter me out.
Also, the post mortem fails to give any meaningful numbers detailing user impact :(

It'd be good to hear some discussion of whether it's advisable and what the advantages and disadvantages are. Often discussions around functional programming are incredibly dogmatic, with it already taken as gospel that functional is superior in every way and purity is next to godliness.
I mean often “management changed” often means the company went out of business and someone bought it and is giving it a go themselves. This is a bit deceptive, but it’s really a new company often.
I've actually never gotten a job via my network (besides an "internship" driving a forklift in a warehouse), and have worked at startups and big tech companies just from applying on the website. I wouldn't discount it!
