Man trades job for .. another job.

I don't get the side hustle vibe. If you keep your F/T job and do a side hustle you love, and would do for free, but now you get paid, that's a side hustle. If you simply trade one for the other, you.. changed jobs.

Adding social media features (profiles, comments, and temporarily even a reddit-like sub-page) to one of my sites sent me straight to moderation hell. People intentionally violating the rules, disagreeing with my decisions, insulting me, spreading lies. Community drama, spammers, DDOSers... Once a site becomes popular enough, even if a tiny fraction of its users behaves maliciously (or just badly), it can become overwhelming for one person. Eventually someone uploaded illegal images, which led to the most stressful day of this year and me having to disable some functionality and making some things more difficult.

On one hand, I feel people YEARN for places to express themselves more than they are currently able to, and they really want alternatives to the established platforms. Nicer places. But damn, if you intend to provide such a place, be prepared to police it, and expect every functionality to be used for other things than its intended purpose, and to be misused and/or abused.
This is the whole point of the bidding system... Except that it's not cheating, because the other team also has a pretty good idea of what you have as well, because people follow the same systems. The author mentions alerts - this is when you have to explicitly call out the meaning of a bid if it's not following the usual convention. Usually you do this as well as announcing what system you're playing at the start whenever you get a new opponent pair. In his article, he gives examples like "1/2 GF" and because that's not a standard system for tournaments, if e.g. the opener played 1S and their partner replied with 2D, the opener has to alert the other team about the non-standard bid by saying "game forcing" immediately after their partner bids the 2D and before the opponent bids.

This is contrary to the normal rules that you're not allowed to say ANYTHING other than a bid which is a number and a suit. That's why it's surprising on the first page that people are getting upset when he's asking them to be quiet. On the other hand, it's quite common to have a friendly chat during the game as long as it's obvious to everyone it has nothing to do with the game. However, that does obviously open up the possibility of secret information being passed as well as being distracting to the other team, so normally people respect the rules and only talk between games. If people are getting violent when being asked to be quiet during bidding, then they should definitely be told to leave by the organisers.

In terms of secret bidding, I have kind of mixed feelings about this. There are definitely opportunities for creating a very complicated bidding system, and over the years, that's how the main systems evolved, but most tournaments require you to play with specific conventions so that both teams understand the bidding.

In general, revealing the rough balance of your hand to the opponents isn't too big a deal, as if one team has a very strong hand, the other team obviously is in a much weaker position and there's little they can do to stop a win. In desperate measures you might bid something knowing you can't win, but might not lose too badly, in order to stop a massive win, but that's not common. However, understanding the other team's bidding lets you figure out the balance of cards in their hands, so you might be able to defend more strategically if you know they're going for a risky slam.

The real advantage of non-standard bidding systems is being able to communicate intent between "I have nothing and can't support", "with what you've got we can easily make game" and "with what you've got there's a good chance of a slam" as quickly as possible so that there's plenty of bidding space left to explore the details of best suit fit / NT, or to figure out that both teams are quite balanced and get out of the bidding while it's still low.

Author here. Thanks for writing about Tinkerforge! I hadn't seen it, and it looks like it hits most of the requirements I sketched out:

- inexpensive modules: $35 USB-C master per 4 modules; $17 for 16 GPIO, $35 for RS-485, $25 for CAN, etc. https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/shop/bricklets.html

- plug and play fieldbus (TCP/IP request/response; seems like bricks have IDs from the factory https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Programming_Interface.htm...)

- excellent docs for multiple programming languages

- easy setup and logging GUIs https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/Brick_Logger.htm...

I'm super impressed they built a 7 person business around this concept and have been going since 2011 (all while doing their manufacturing in Germany!)

it sounds like rust is harder to learn then shaders which is kinda funny

while the base concepts of shaders might be easy, IMHO are far far harder to use correctly and maintainable then rust

anyway I agree that for a lot of use cases you want a ready to go game engine where most of the code you write is in some form of scripting engine on top and only the perf relevant code is in whatever native language you use

through many people today start programming without knowing C++ and I would argue rust is much easier to learn then C++ with that one small problem that C++ can give you easily an illusion of having a proper understanding of it while still missing very essential parts which can not only lead to failing but also RCE security vulnerable code

It's worth pointing out that you're using the word "liberal policy" in its US meaning, which is rather misleading for the EU. Liberals in Europe are mostly center right-wing, for low taxes and for more company freedom (as in "neoliberal"). There are some left-wing liberals left, but they are somewhat rare.

As for the claim that "ignoring the problems" is a "liberal policy" - that's a made up strawman.

So don't read him. Call a meeting of the historian club and have him expelled. But, be prepared to find out Windschuttle, and all the other "real" historians committed grave faults, sins of omission, partial readings, because everybody does it.

I'm not trying to divert, I think you've missed a point. Clark was truthful about his craft. You somehow seem to think that everyone else has no faults? Am I misunderstanding and you realise all historians select, sample and therefore distort?

Maybe the central problem is knowing how much he made up.

This brings back fond memories to my first semester studying electronics. First practical, we got to draw a PCB and transferred the image to a copper plate with UV light. Then we dumped it in a solution to eat away the unfixated copper.

Second practical, we drilled holes and mounted sockets for ICs. Third, we soldered all components. By then we had all realized that we were building a PIC Micro programmer, which we would be using for the remainder of the semester to flash microcontrollers.

This was such a fun way to learn.
My kid is getting a uni degree in photography, which is obviously heavily digital. I wanted a way to connect without overlapping, so I went for creative anachrony. I am also hoping, without pushing, to spark an interest in great grandpa’s Praktica, my dad’s Nikkormat, or the little Konica rangefinder I had as a kid. We picked up a pinhole box kit where you expose straight to paper and develop that, no negative. Next week we’re going to check out the new dark sky area near us. Etc. Just finding motivations and being nerds, really.

Many businesses already have WhatsApp as the exclusive channel of communication. So its either have a Meta account, or become locked out of a subset of services. Not to mention how many work/social groups use also WhatsApp exclusively. To try to force everyone to use something like Matrix is an herculean task, which also requires maintenance.

And then there are all the government/school/work/authentication apps that are mobile only and exclusive to iOS and Android.

IMO its impossible to walk away from it. The ship has sailed. It is possible to move away as far as you can and keep these accounts and their usage to a minimum, but its time consuming and has little rewards against many obstacles. Atm I'm willing to put in the effort but I also totally understand it not being a reasonable option for most.
Show HN: Rapidgzip – Truly Parallel Gzip Decompression with 10 GB/s
I have posted a much earlier version of this over a year ago [0].

Since then a lot has changed. Obviously, the name has changed. This happened for the paper publication [1].

I have also optimized the speed, integrated ISA-L for special cases, limited the compression-ratio-dependent maximum memory consumption, and finally added parallelized CRC32 computation, which adds ~5% overhead no matter the number of cores used. At this point, I am leaning towards calling it production-ready although there are still many ideas for improvements.

Redoing the benchmarks of the older Show HN, would look like this:

time pigz -d -c 4GiB-base64.gz | wc -c # real ~13.4 s -> ~320 MB/s
time rapidgzip -d -c 4GiB-base64.gz | wc -c # real ~1.26 s -> ~3.4 GB/s

However, at this point, the piping itself becomes a problem. Rapidgzip is actually slightly faster than cat when comparing the piped bandwidth! E.g., compare these additional benchmarks:

time cat 4GiB-base64.gz | wc -c # real ~1.06 s -> ~3.1 GB/s
time fcat 4GiB-base64.gz | wc -c # real ~0.41 s -> ~8.0 GB/s
time rapidgzip -o /dev/null -d 4GiB-base64.gz # real ~0.68 s -> ~6.5 GB/s

fcat is an alternative cat implementation that uses vmsplice to speed up piping. According to the ReadMe it currently is broken, but it works fine on my system and piping it to md5sum yields consistent results [2].

So, at this point, I/O and actually also allocations have become a limiting factor and if you want full speed, you would have to interface with the rapidgzip library interface directly (in C++ or via the Python bindings) and process the decompressed data in memory.

The project ReadMe contains further benchmarks with Silesia and FASTQ data and scaling up to 128 cores, for which rapidgzip achieves 12 GB/s for Silesia and 24 GB/s when an index has been created with --export-index and is used with --import-index.

It can also be tested with ratarmount 0.14.0, which now uses rapidgzip as a backend by default for .gz and .tar.gz files [3].

I remember some years ago I saw a YouTube video of a guy who did a recreation of this in some sort of Audio Programming Language (it might have been SonicPI or something).

He started off by claiming he wanted to create the sound of a hundred bees or something, then he coded these, and bit by bit he re-created the Deep Note. Since the video wasn't titled after that, it was quite a surprise.

I can't seem to find that video anymore, if anyone has a link, please share it :)

A signal doesn't have to be perfect to be useful. Breast implants and hair implants are also a thing. The fakes are for fooling people who don't know the difference between a $20k and a $200k watch and just see "Rolex". Many of the "expensive watch guys" I know used to own pawn or jewelry stores and know specific model years intimately. Fakes would be hard to pass off in those crowds, though I am sure they exist.

The rise of fake handbags (the modern female equivalent) and their explicit popularity (as fakes) is interesting and instructing, too.

I've come to learn that most normal people just want to be oriented about where they stand in the status hierarchy. It's not that being low or high status is the goal (although for many it is), but knowing the relative status of those around you makes people less anxious as they then understand how to behave to minimize their own distress. It's the uncertainty that causes people anxiety.

I agree with your basic premise that clear displays of metrics would save a lot of time and trouble, but we have decided as a society that that is both dangerous and tacky, so we use more coded signals instead.

> Both sides use the drones. It's not a strategic advantage.

It may not be, but only one side is using them to inflict damage that is upwards of 100M+ USD at a time (on occasion).

The Russian use of drones appears to be less effective then the Ukrainian use for whatever reason.

Its crazy that a 100k drone can destroy planes that are worth tens of millions of dollars that kind of price difference will surely change some ways that wars are fought.
I like to think I am pretty engaged and self-propelled, but it doesn't surprise me that most people aren't interested in working. It would be a miracle if all work required for society just so happened to line up with all the passions of the workers.

That's why we get paid after all. I really enjoy my job and I'm effective, but if I didn't need money, it's not so fun that I wouldn't drop it to do other stuff I find more rewarding.

We aren't built for this either, especially not thought work. Society compells it, which is what it is, but we are not evolved for an 8 hour day of thinking at a desk.

Some people are good at it, but we are asking far more than some people to do it, and you have to do -something- to survive, and the outcome is obvious from thay lens in my opinion.

Google is a great example of "it's difficult to get someone to understand something if their paycheck depends on not understanding it".

Even before google was founded and the founders discussed how they could monetize their search, they understood that paid ads create a conflict of interest: the point of search which is to to return the most relevant results, but the incentive in paid ads is to return the best paying ads. One of their papers contains this point _in writing_.

However, every single time I pointed this out to a person working at google they immediately jump into Olympic level acrobatics to explain why the two things are not in conflict. I especially enjoy hearing the argument that in a free market the most relevant advertiser also happens be the one who can afford to pay the most. I've never worked at Google, but I would bet that part of their induction is to train their employees how to combat these ideas.

Anyway big picture google isn't one of the worst.

I thought I made it clear - but apparently I should have been far more blunt - that I don't particularly value going in to a comment chain regarding "justify Rust's use for $X". I say this to point out that you're trying to imply:

> If it's hard to justify Rust's use

I don't consider it hard, I'm just not spending time on it because it's not worth it to me. If I felt it was worth it, I could discuss language features or so on (error handling, functional programming idioms, etc). It's covered fine elsewhere. ;P

> Why insist it's a decent tech stack for this sort of applications in spite of all of the evidence to the contrary?

This entire thread is due to my not buying the "evidence" that it's hard.

Go write in whatever language you want. I want to write in Rust, and I want a functioning GUI framework and I think people are overthinking it. shrug

I don't think it has any benefits to remove children from their parents. That's why I think that was a bad policy.

I think however it would be beneficial for the children if their parents adapted their lifestyle to fit the modern society and better integrate into society. 150 years ago their lifestyle might have made sense, but less so today where they could get better jobs if they had a better education and they could also get support from society if needed. It's sad to see these parents taking away so many opportunities for their children.
Look, take it up with Boeing, not me. Here's the runaway stab trim checklist from 2018, before the accident [1].

Right at the very top, it says:

Condition: Uncommanded stabilizer trim movement occurs continuously.

MCAS produces an intermittent fault, not a continuous one, therefore you are not supposed to run that checklist.

There should be a checklist for MCAS failure, and the system and its failure modes should be explained, like every other system on a 737, but Boeing deliberately decided not to.

To your point, yes, you'd better pay attention in training. But, in order for that training to be of any use, they can't keep aircraft systems that can fail and kill you a secret from the pilots!

[1] http://www.b737.org.uk/images/runawaystab2013.jpg

edit: Further to your point about the overspeed, the overspeed was not caused by the thrust levers being at full. The overspeed was caused by MCAS pushing the nose down and causing the plane to pick up speed. The pilots were trying to get the nose back up. The difficulty in moving the wheel comes from a combination of the airspeed and how far out of trim the plane is. Both of these problems were caused by MCAS putting in nose down trim. Yes, the pilots could have throttled back and bought themselves a little more time, but that is not the primary reason that they were unable to turn the trim wheel.
I'm curious if there's another company in history that became so pervasive so quickly? Not just in terms of size, but in impact/reach?

I realise this question somewhat requires defining what Google is and it's current size and scale, which is quite the challenge.

To me Google seems uniquely impactful, uniquely quickly, but I'd love to learn of other comparable companies from history.

I completely agree with this. The author's post seems to reek of entitlement.

On the one hand, he complaining about how it's so unfair that he has to take public transport and so it takes him longer and costs more to get there. That's not really anyone else's problem. Sure, it sucks for him, but he'll have the same problems with every activity he wants to do, not just playing bridge. It already seems beyond generous that people are offering to help with his transportation costs.

He then rants about how people shouldn't use mailing lists because it's far too much effort for young people to actually read what others have to say. After all, he's a young person, so the only thing that matters in this world is what he has to say. So all these "old people" should hang out around on discord 24/7 just in case he wants to ask something that everyone else already knows because they read their emails. The real kicker is that he doesn't care that this system has been working for the club for a long time and works for everyone else, he only sees that it's inconvenient for him because he can't be separated from his memes on discord for more than the 30 seconds it'd take him to read an email.
