I didn't see the writing on the wall for them shutting it down, rather that I could not rely on it.

I have (or rather had) two Google Domains accounts, one for my own projects, and one with my work email address for work purposes. My work Google Domains account got banned for some imagined rules infraction. I sent an appeal with evidence, which was immediately denied. In case you are curious, the effect of being banned from Google Domains is: you are no longer able to use Google Domains at all, which means you are both unable to change your DNS settings, and unable to transfer your domains out. For all of the domains, I had to wait until they expired, wait for the grace period to expire, and re-register them on a new registrar, hoping nobody else got to them first.

After this experience, I decided it was not worth the risk to keep my personal domains on my personal Google account, so I transferred them out a few days later. I assume this was a bug, but as soon as I initiated the domain transfers, Google deleted all DNS records, which meant I had some non-trivial downtime on all of my websites while I got it all sorted out on a new registrar.

After both of these experiences, there is no way I would ever trust another domain to Google Domains.
It takes much less capital to scale a company that delivers service over the internet than pretty much any other type of company because it isn't:

1. labor intensive
2. capital intensive

Since these challenges don't exist for a company like Google or FB, these companies can scale faster. This also means they don't need to raise as much capital as other types of company to reach massive scale. This leaves the founders (and early investors. There's a reason VCs focus on internet companies) with a much larger slice of the company than would be the case for an industrial company. It's really just simple economics and not in any way profound.

Note that "tech" companies like Amazon and Apple, which do face those challenges to a degree took much longer to scale than Google of FB. And Apple really didn't reach massive trillion dollar scale until it was able to effectively outsource all of the capital intensive manufacturing and focus on the high value add "tech" components.
Tech support proud moment: in the 1990s, walking a non-technical user through editing and then saving a config file for the product I was supporting, with him using vi and not being familiar with how it works, over the phone. The vi editor is the one that you know is always installed on every Unix system.

> how systems from the endocrine system to the gut microbiome interact with the central nervous system and brain to generate and modify emotions

Our digestive system has a significant neural system of its own called the ‘enteric nervous system’ and given the (perhaps sensationalist) nickname ‘the second brain.’ There’s also the ‘intrinsic cardiac nervous system’ interfacing with our heart. There have been a lot of interesting results showing neuronal reactions to external stimuli.
I don’t want to overstate things, as is so often the case with laypeople in the face of scientific mystery, but, at the very least, the brain isn’t entirely isolated when it comes to cognition.
Sounds like the syndrome plaguing GNOME. :)
Only if the roof has a lens shape, otherwise it's the same light as what's coming from above which isn't harmful.
Reliable water and electricity, as well as geology, are really important too.
It's worth checking into those first two, but it's probably fine for the next 10-20 years.
I do not think the soviets were involved, I think this
is an extremely risky move no one would do. I do think
there were probably fears it would be perceived as a
foreign assassination which drove some actions in the
US government.

I was vague on that because my post was overlong already and I don't have a clue or guess about who (if anybody) was involved besides Oswald.

But I agree with you: I cannot imagine that Khrushchev or the leadership of the USSR wanted open war. For the same reasons the USA didn't.

There is definitely a middle ground sort of possibility, where Oswald was involved with the USSR to some extent (informant, or whatever) but they truly had no idea he was going to shoot JFK. That seems completely possible.

Of course, the Soviet government was enormous and not monolithic. Maybe some within it wanted war, maybe some thought that they could prod Oswald into an assassination without getting "caught."

Seems possible, but zero idea how likely that is.

The simplest scenario is: Oswald worked in tandem with a second rando guy who had a rifle and wanted the president dead. No shortage of those in America, a land with cheap rifles and ~16 million WWII vets who were trained to use them.

Anyway, if the US government doesn't want to
stir the cold war issues around the assassination,
is it a conspiracy or just common sense statesmanship?

Definitely common sense statesmanship.

Arguably a conspiracy as well but that depends on our definition of "conspiracy."

The only thing I'm really sure of is that it was in the US government's best interests to sell the idea that Oswald was a lone crazy guy. That was the least-bad scenario for America.

Fishing nets are 30%+ of waste. Switching to glass solves the problem instantly. It puts pressure on the companies and not the public.

Tourists in Croatia do not bother collecting the 7 cent tax on plastic containers.
Having a different bottle cap won’t improve that.

A small percentage of collected plastic waste is recycled.

All of the infrastructure that will never be built requires public funding and is more expensive than just switching to glass. Do we want to solve the marine waste problem or do we just want to spend money every year to try to avoid it?

The paper straws with forever chemicals is a side effect of this single use plastic directive. How was this not predicted?
I agree but does RAII necessarily imply parameter-free destruction?

Personally I love Rust’s `fn foo(self, …)`, which is just like a regular method but consumes the value.

Deallocate by default is fine, but sometimes you need to run specific destructors (linear type style). I’ve long wished for an opt-out from implicit drop semantics for resource/handle types.
In my freshman E&M physics course, there was no calculus prerequisite, so when we had to answer a question on a quiz or test that would be solved with an integral, the professor said we could just put the integral without needing to evaluate it and he'd mark it as correct. I think this approach makes a lot of sense; understanding the concept of "summing" the value of an expression across a range by using an integral is much more important than being able to do the actual calculation.

> That's still just a degradation of user experience and not a fatal fault.

I don't know how you'd describe a game spontaneously aborting not a "fatal fault". Yes, it's not turning off someone's pacemaker, but within the scope of what a game is able to do, kicking the player back to the matchmaking screen in the middle of a game is about as fatal as it gets.

BTW it's a DE-9 not a DB -- the "B" shell is a much larger lozenge with room for 25 pins (of 1960s scale).

The VGA connector is also a E shell, thus DE-15.

Of course, as you probably remember well, usually we'd only wire up three wires, but nobody called them DE-3!
> This work predates the term "transducer" and I was happy to see Rich Hickey defining it

IIRC Hickey did not define this term (nor claimed to have done so), he found it in existing compsci research papers that approached them from a mathematical proof angle and realized they solved a problem he needed to solve (basically not allocating intermediate collections and doing wasteful work on parts of the data that will be immediately discarded).

I think one of the authors of the papers he cited even gave a talk at a Clojure conference once.

Right but even in man's prime he has very few dating choices compared to much older women.

An average man in his prime on a dating app gets 20 matches for every 100 swipes.

A woman, even a below average woman can get 80 out of 100.

There is data on this: watch just the beginning of this video for a easy to digest summary: https://youtu.be/XZbApDoe45E?si=ze0X3Np3wMUVKP6Y

Additionally, nowadays you will find on dating apps even women past 40 still have abundant matches. This is a modern phenomenon though. In the past what you said is largely true but with dating apps the game has leaned heavily in favor of women on all fronts.

What's happening is the age group is just shifting. If the woman is in her 20s her age group is 20 to 30, if she's in her 40s it shifts to 40 to 60. As the pool for younger men closes an older pool opens up. Dating apps is what enables this as women can now find matches outside of local networks.

Actual fertility is a different story though.

People have goals and perceptions going into the conversation. If they want a manager they have already decided sometimes before the conversation starts that the conversation with the underling will not serve those ends. They go into the conversation with the manager with the expectation that the superior has the tools and intelligence to do the job and ergo actually listen. This isn't necessarily a failing on your side and it may not be something you can correct.

Things that work

- You can speak to the manager but the manager is an expert in managing people I am the expert in <subject matter>. I can resolve your issue.

- You can speak to the manager but there will be a wait of up to 10 minutes and in that same time frame we could have already resolved your issue.

- I know you want to do <impossible/illegal/crazy thing> in order to achieve <end> but the <system/law/policy> wont allow us to do that that way but fortunately there is another way to achieve <end> and we can get started on that right now.

- I'm required to collect information about such issues before sending it up. I'll make it quick can I ask you a few questions about why you want to speak to the manager? <sympathetic sounds/interjections followed by a casual insertion of the obviously beneficial solution>

However there are plenty of cases where the thing desired is the perceived importance of having someone themselves important take the case as it were and you can't replicate that without at least the pretense of importance. For instance when I was a low level supervisor at a retail establishment I came to the service desk on a number of occasions to deal with customer issues knowing no more than them and not even being over their area thus having LESS authority. They just wanted to jabber at someone in a collared shirt.

The past decade or so, I've found myself in a constant battle with UI/UX team members.

A big part of the battle seems to be a shift from power/tool user to consumer design paradigms. 20 years ago, most software was tools for professionals, now most software (on a usage level at least) is consumer software (literally consumers of video, social media etc.) Designers can't seem to switch modes and keep trying to apply "content consumption" rules and techniques to "jobs to be done" projects.

A favourite is removing visible tools with 3-dot menus in the name of "cleaner" or "more intuitive" user interface that turns one-click actions into two clicks: 2 clicks hundreds of times a day for the tool users. Tables that show 10 items with 4 details each in the same screen real estate that used to show 20 items with 6-8 details. Dashboards that show 4 graphs instead of 10. Menus that take up the top 10-20% of the app. Massive H1 titles.

One of my aunts changes around her furniture constantly, not because she has an idea of a better layout but because she's bored with the current layout. This seems to be a common personality trait in PMs and/or UX people. Adding a 4th table view to the product? ... "we should use this entirely different style" not because it's "better". Since COVID, I've run a weekly Google meet with friends ... it changes in some way pretty much every time we get together, most recently the request to join process has changed, again, and not for the better.
Ok thanks. I will possibly try to port to SkiaSharp in the future to learn how your code works.
The article you have linked to literally contains the phrase "Air temperature is increased by up to 2.4°C" citing the conditions under which this was observed. Have I completely misunderstood what you are trying to say?
I agree with the list and there is nothing wrong with it.

Though, I would like to emphasize this is clearly an Individual Contributor kind of a perspective. There are hardly any bullet points encouraging building and maintaining work culture, growing other people, serving as an example to follow. Maybe a handful out of the 60 fall into this bucket.

Thus don't consider this list anywhere near complete if your career path envisions being a manager (of different kinds).
Interesting idea. It would seem that 'id' is effectively equivalent of (sport, dport), but 16 bits is a much smaller space than 32.

But isn't the main problem with NAT punching that it requires activity on both ends to create a connection? Thus it always requires a coordination server to let node T (target) that node S (source) is trying to talk to it.

You've got me thinking though. I wonder if there is a way to do this with ICMP routing messages - unreachable, TTL expired, etc. You can traceroute to some IP address, and get back packets from other arbitrary IP addresses, and this generally works through NAT. I'm envisioning a host T that wanted incoming connections to pick a random "dummy" IP address , publish (router IP, dummy IP) as its identity, and periodically send packets to the dummy IP address. Now a host S that wants to talk to T might be able to send an ICMP TTL-expired to T's router, pertaining to the dummy address. The router should see this and forward the packet to T.

Of course this is contingent upon if IP addresses in ICMP fields are ingress policed the way the addresses in the IP header have become.

(edit: hah. There is now a top-level comment pointing to an implementation of this idea)

That's true, but if it really were the case that you could stop cavities and gum disease by popping a pill that was already on the market I don't see any way they could stop it. I also think that there are a few ADA members who actually care about people's dental health, and if they thought that there was a conspiracy to suppress such a thing, they would have said so.

Like I said, nothing would make me happier than to be proven wrong about this. But right now my money is on the things-that-sound-too-good-to-be-true-usually-are theory.

The memory chunks it allocates to store entries are so small that it ends up allocating one chunk for every element for almost every type. The result is a lot of allocation overhead, pointer indirection and various other things that are bad for performance.

Not saying you're right or wrong, but I myself don't want to look at it like it's a competition of the loudest people.

I've read so many blogs through HN over the last years, and every one of 'em had something interesting to say while also portraying something personal from the author. Whether that's a nice layout, nice color scheme, or even some nice jokes in their bio text.

To me, it can not get any more human than this. Pure individuals connecting on a world wide web. By links, by email, by RSS feeds. All without big tech.
I'm kinda of the opinion that things listening on the network shouldn't be in-kernel.

Instead, the kernel interfaces should be improved to allow userspace applications to get the same performance benefits. For example, RDMA could be arranged from userspace by having a sendfile() like syscall suitable for telling the kernel that RDMA requests should be satisfied from a certain file handle. Perhaps even seccomp bpf could be used for constructing more complex response packets without needing a context switch to the userspace application.

I follow your point, however it actually supports mine: An HTTP response isn’t intended to be the output of a command line app. A command line app should take the response from the lower-level HTTP communication and articulate whatever appropriate message to the user, depending on the verbosity level for example. Talking in OSI terms - this is a presentation layer problem, not a link layer one.
This is particularly interesting to me because we currently have some unanswered questions about how viable renewable energy is for ~100% of generation.

As we get to higher total renewable contribution, presumably we’d see a more dramatic price difference in energy at different time of day.

This tech suggests to me that, as you say, there is low-hanging fruit that could be harvested, and which perhaps isn’t cost-effective yet with a small diurnal energy cost-delta, but with a higher peak-to-trough cost difference might become viable to extract.

It’s worth noting here that seasonal variations seem harder to deal with, and varying the energy intensity of industrial processes doesn’t seem helpful for that issue due to capex/utilization concerns.

And for diurnal fluctuations, batteries are actually not too expensive these days.
