This is interesting.

Judging from the screenshot, a huge amount of GET /TweetDetail is generated which triggers some rate limiting, as shown by the 429.

If this is indeed due to the recent decision to enforce authentication for all API calls, it means the curlprit may actually be the API gateway or something similar downstream.

Also, this behavior seem to never stop, which isn't what one would expect from an exponential backoff retry.

I don't claim to be a better engineer than the folks working at Twitter, but it is interesting to see something like this in the wild, all Musk-related considerations aside.

How is that gatekeeping? I'm trying to ask about what the risks are for people who take it at a party or a festival or at home for fun.

>Psychedelics like psilocybin have a remarkably benign safety profile relative to other Schedule One drugs, not to mention very different social, cultural and historical roles. Lumping psychedelics together with powerful opioids like fentanyl misdirects resources, diminishes buy-in from the public and undercuts the legitimacy of federal drug laws.

The author of the article does not specify what risks these drugs have. Simply that they are relatively less dangerous than synthetic opioids.
No need to choose, you can have both - there is this very nice place where software meets hardware; call it embedded, call it robotics, call it industrial automation; this is the place where software actually gets to interface to physics: read sensors, drive solenoids and motors, make things move and act and do things in the real world.

I got into this business 25 years ago and never left. Still loving every single day.

What can you do if you are a software engineering manager working at a good software company that got acquired by another organisation that has terrible work ethics, show no respect for its employees and triggers all the red flags inside you? I am finding myself wanting to quit because I'm almost at my limits of what I can endure but I am also struggling with feelings of guilt about leaving my engineers in this challenging environment.

With regards to BiiN, one thing I'm not familiar with was how the serial connection to, say, 80 terminals was handled on a machine like this. If I had 80 Wyse terminals (alas, I only have two), and wanted to hook them up to, for example, a Linux server, how would I go about doing that?

Don’t they also have moderators? People to enforce the rules? Plus an administrator who owns the server and can even remove moderators? That’s a hierarchy.
I don’t think you understand what anarchism is.
I agree. The right teacher can prune dead-end paths, quickly identify your weaknesses, provide you with tools and (importantly) explain their reasoning. They might also introduce you to more “meta” concepts and connections that you otherwise might have missed (which personally helps me stay interested and gain better mastery).

If they can’t do that last bit, they’ll certainly help get you up to speed quickly, but you’ll be missing out on larger contextual understanding.

That said, I’ve seen these types of teachers favor people who have shown themselves capable of learning and reasoning about what they’re doing. And finding these teachers often requires either luck, connections, or already having a certain level of knowledge.

So, I’d say grab a hold of such a teacher if you can, but in the context of the article, just finding a teacher isn’t necessarily a net benefit; you should do everything you can do to learn outside of a teacher. (And I’d say that’s true even if you get a teacher.)

Edit: I also meant to say, if you don’t know what you don’t know, finding a teacher isn’t necessarily easy. Getting started solo can really help you get an idea of what you don’t know and can aid in finding someone who knows those things.

Semi related: it looks like twitter is currently winning the battle vs adblockers, which made me notice how every third or fourth post is a "promoted" advertisement. I guess it's the same (or even worse) in their mobile apps. There's no way that twitter isn't making money (A LOT) with 1/3 the site being ads? Especially with twitter being much less media heavy than other sites (very far from youtube or even twitch that can easily add up to tens or even hundreds of gigabytes of traffic every month just for myself).
Another aspect of all old performance materials is the utter absence of rehearsal letters ("A", "B", "C" etc.), measure numbers, little eye-glasses ("watch the first chair here"), bowings, fingerings and all the other things contemporary classical musicians need to put into their parts during rehearsal. It really makes you wonder what a rehearsal in the 18th century could possibly have been like.

And yes, I'm pretty sure Bach saved as much paper as he could. The autograph score to the Christmas Oratorio uses spare staves all over the place. This is not a page-turning consideration. An aria may coexist side-by-side with a chorus for many pages at a time to evidently prevent those 2-3 staves at the bottom of the page from being wasted.
Addressing #2 and #3, a "hybrid cloud" architecture can include a site-to-site VPN or direct fiber connection to a cloud. In AWS, Direct Connect data transfer pricing effectively makes your on-prem DC or colocation facility into an availability zone in your AWS Region. Direct Connect is $0.02/GB egress (out of AWS) and free ingress (into AWS), which is a better deal than cross-AZ data transfer within the AWS Region. Cross-AZ within an AWS Region is effectively $0.02/GB in both directions.

This way, you can run your big static workloads on-prem to save money, and run your fiddly dynamic workloads in AWS and continue to use S3.

That said, if a hybrid cloud architecture is your plan and you desire a managed rack-at-a-time experience, AWS Outposts would seem to be the safer pick. They've been shipping for years and they have public pricing that you can look at. I'm not sure that Oxide specifically has an opening for customers who want to keep their cloud. I wish them luck.

The Stinger shortage is exactly contradicting your point about artillery shells.

Everyone in the military did indeed have their "doctrine and practice" in mind, the status quo, and suddenly the world rushed up to the military's front door, knocked furiously at the door saying "we need 20,000 Stingers, fast!" And hopefully they had the introspection to realize 'wow, we failed. We can't supply this. Our doctrine and tactics are wrong."

Do you seek air superiority via spending money to create an air-superior fighter jet, or do you seek air superiority via spending money to give every infantry soldier a manpad? Two different tactics with the same goal. Except that the former is a wasteful illusion of superiority, the latter is meat-and-potatoes common sense superiority.

Begs the question what's going on with the lack of common sense in the military.

> Supply chain is really really really hard.

Does the traditional idea of "supply chain" actually apply here? There isn't a "market" for these parts. There's a single buyer and a single supplier behind an exclusive government contract. The single-use equipment has no intrinsic value, can't be put to any other use, and can't be sold after it's shelf life has expired.

> Also nearly everyone who owns their own servers still runs VMs on them.

This strikes me as at least as much of a leap as "everything has gone cloud."

Containers are... kind of a thing. And while there certainly are use cases for VMs over containers, they're comparatively niche.

This product seems as if it'd be a better fit for every real use case I've ever seen if it were a prebuilt kubernetes cluster rather than a prebuilt VM hypervisor.
> I can draw people relatively well, but they never look like the people I'm actually portraying. And my drawings are very 2-dimensional, which is a conscious style choice that nonetheless doesn't lend itself well to real-life portraits.

Look at some masters of caricature and cartooning, find photos of some of their favorite subjects, think about how these drawings exaggerate what's there in the shapes of the subject's face/body/motion. This is how you make a drawing that is simultaneously a stylized 2D rendering and one that "looks like" its subject.

Like, get some coffee table books of Hirschfeld or Sorel or someone else who did a lot of caricatures of celebrities and study the heck out of them. Copy some of their drawings with photos of the subjects close to hand. Look at a person and ask yourself what they'd do here, and draw that.

Hopefully this is something your teacher has already gotten you doing! But if they haven't, then give it a try, and see what they have to say about your attempts.
They probably have if (isElon) somewhere in the code to turn off rate limiting.

> Because legally, that's as meaningful as saying "they are quooquaquams".

I don’t see how this is at all equivalent, given that “psychedelics” is a well-known term that can be found throughout decades of literature and that gibberish word you just made up has no attached meaning.

If you’re equating random gibberish words to well-known words in literature then why does anything have any meaning? Why would a new word have meaning?

Regardless, the laws generally don’t refer to “psychedelics”, they refer to specific chemicals by their name. There are numerous compounds that would be considered psychedelics that are, nevertheless, not illegal because they’re not covered by any laws (including analog acts)

Ah, but then stil disagree. These places would be bad with or without the plants, it’s just a matter of more or less jobs. The plants themselves don’t pollute like coal plants do, and are on large park-like plots of land.

I guess as soon as you have array mutation, you have assignment and thus it’s already imperative? The trick I’m thinking of definitely didn’t involve any algorithmic complexity overhead, it was just more of a trick to emulate assignment and imperative statements using pure functions. It was a neat observation at the time, but with the passage of time it starts to seem a little less surprising, though I guess it still is a little since the article asks the question.

Anecdotally: I think of myself as one of those people who is by nature driven to do great work. Tbd if it happens. But in my life I see most other people as having written off almost everything I find interesting, all the places where it seems like there is great work to be done if one digs hard enough.

It seems obvious that someone like me, who believes this and is looking and working everywhere, will be the type of person who does the great work, rather than someone who thinks that, ah well, it's probably an accident that others found things and they didn't. Because, seriously.. The gaps are everywhere! in everything! Some of us can scarcely go a day without having an idea that seems to have huge potential and it's a question of deciding what to focus on and how far to go. The problem is never thinking of something that could be great work to do... it's picking which one.

So basically, strong disagree, it's no accident at all.

That said the main reason everyone is writing off all the potential is, yes, lack of ambition, lack of curiosity, lack of perseverance, etc. Can those habits be unlearned? Dunno. Probably. I think most people are 'followers' at heart, and to imagine doing something truly novel is to imagine, ultimately, not trying to do what they're told, not trying to be safe. And the thought gives them intense anxiety so they explain a hundred reasons why they're right, why nothing can be done. Well, from my perspective that's just a matter of perspective.
Twitter is extremely addictive and bring the worse in people. There's a constant flow of information, lots of arguments, lots of famous people (also addicted). For some reason, HN likes to pick on Facebook, but Twitter is by far the most toxic social network.
