Can I create an account without having to provide a birthday? Or an e-mail for that matter? (I know, "we won't be able to send you notifications or reset your password", etc. Let me make that decision.)

To add, it helps to have some record of inner thoughts to look back and reflect with greater fidelity than memory.

Done enough, one can start to make connections at a greater rate than if one was to try to keep it all in one's head. I've had several experiences in therapy where I had the spontaneous thought, "I've written about this before!" I was able to go back and thread through all previous reflections in a way that was much more than the sim of their parts. It really accelerates self discovery and growth.
The US is clearly targeting Google releasing Android for RISC-V, or Qualcomm releasing RISC-V chips which can run RISC-V Android.

RISC-V has been an 'obvious' choice for Android for a long time - particularly for lower end devices or set-top-box type designs where the vendor has control of all the software (no third party binaries that need arm emulation).

The fact an official RISC-V port is soon to be released, I suspect is the reason behind this activity now.

Germany: fixed mortgages are the norm (actually never even heard of another type), common runtimes are 10, 15, and 20 years, and no matter what the runtime is, as the borrower you can simply exit the contract without even giving a reason after 10 years; and that’s not something in the contract, it’s a federal law.

You obviously have to pay back the remaining debt, but this makes it super smooth to either pay off all debt in one go or refinance.

No mortgages don’t have early payoff penalties. The bank doesn’t really care. They’ve probably sold your mortgage off to be packaged in a bond anyways. They’re mainly in the business of selling loans. There’s a big margin on that. They’re more than happy to payoff your old one and write a new one and collect those fees.

I don't get it. I just don't. People use to claim that Musk bought Twitter just to burn it down, but even he doesn't have $43B to light on fire.

Does he genuinely, sincerely think things like this will work out well in the long run?
"Sequences" and other Yudkowksy writings are long and incoherent not by accident but by design.

The point is to drive away anybody who has faculties of critical thinking. It's like those ads you see on the internet where they tell you that "TINNITUS IS DESTROYING YOUR BRAIN" or tell you what intermittent fasting plan is right for your shoe size and then send you to some two and a half long video that is there to weed out anybody who isn't incredibly credulous and after all that you find out it is some lame-ass supplement. Or it is like those poorly spelled letters that tell you the widow of some African dictator wants to to send you $15 million by Western Union.

Someone who's gotten through all that really is someone vulnerable who can be wrapped around someone's finger. People who are good at critical thinking aren't looking for the secret to become good critical thinkers.
I sadly suspect the number of development teams with dysfunctional repo setups/policies somewhat outnumbers those with best practice configurations! Actually I can't say I've ever worked anywhere that would truly have qualified for the latter category.

He also worked out the calculations for the explosive lens for the atomic bomb. My understanding is that was quite difficult and it's unclear who else could have done that.
>x86 has load and add in a single instruction

Sure.

>doing away with temporary register usage

Dubious, as that's up to implementation either way.

A microarchitecture might split it into a load and an add, eliminating any instruction count reduction advantage.

Whereas another microarchiture might take a separate load and add and fuse them, which would free opcode space to be used more effectively elsewhere, resulting in overall code size reduction.

It's a careful balance.
Sure, but do consider this may be an aside the main question:
I (maybe naively) make the distinction that Software Engineering involves a wider range of problem solving that is not limited to programming, and programming is a specific subset of problems in that bigger collection.
I was a contributor to a small Linux desktop application ages ago. We absolutely had a regular flow of hapless users who installed the Debian-provided package and reported bugs that either never existed in upstream builds or had been fixed months before. I believe the situation was that Debian had packaged an obsolete version of the software for stable because of a misunderstanding of the versioning system. When upstream discovered the mistake and contacted them, they refused to update it to a modern version. Instead, they requested that we maintain their fork and backport literal years of fixes.

This situation resulted in Debian distributing a broken version of our software for several years. I did not come away with positive impressions of their packaging processes.
Musk bought Twitter not to burn it down. He was forced to buy it and doesn’t know what to do with it.

> reliable used vehicle for $5k just shows that you haven't done this in 15-20 years or so

I purchased an '07 Prius for $5k just a few years ago. They go for ~$7k now. These cars are low registration cost, very low insurance cost, fuel efficient (45mpg), very low maintenance, and high longevity (I've personally witnessed them hit 550k miles).

That is the baseline in which, yes, an $800/mth payment is mostly financially excessive; a luxury. Especially at 6 - 15% car loan interest these days.

When I took a class on strategic nuclear game theory back in the 80s the options were 1, 2 and all, with "all" being the only serious cases. The assumption was the enemy would try to take out all your nukes so you'd have to launch quickly before they were taken out.

Subs, of course, being the ultimate terror weapon, changed the calculus completely. What I really got out of the class was that this kind of game theory was almost useless once you had subs with nukes on them.

"Almost" because antimissile defense was destabilizing even without subs, so is in everybody's interest to negotiate away.

>That sucks. IME, one needs to pay a bit of a premium to live someplace where you can be assured of not having such headaches (not that wealthy people are better neighbors, but that problem-free residence is in higher demand).

Oh yea, 100%. The second place I got the problem was not nearly as bad but still made me feel sick about once a month during a "party" or something.

I had the pleasure of living next to 3-4 college kids. I guess they split the rent. I also moved to Texas where its generally not as legal so I believe they tend to use devices that limits the smell/spread. So it wasn't nearly as bad but sometimes you just wanted peace from that, ya know.

And yep, to the particle analogy. I had plenty of good interactions with people. Sadly, the negative ones just sucked too much.
> Why not train the AI on machine language and have it generate binaries directly?

Maybe that's the answer I was looking for, AI can "interpret" sentences referring to the problems/needs to be solved and it may lack the way to solve for those with the existing programming languages and it could come up with it's own "abstraction" on top of processes - or maybe not, and will plainly speak low-level 0-1s directly.
Maybe it's the weeds that are evolving.
Read the PEP for Type Hints, the rationale is laid out there.

Python will probably never have a built-in type checker beyond Python's existing strong typing at runtime.
> Do the majority of creators want anonymity? I don't think so. They can set up a company and hide behind it if they do. Being an anonymous platform invites tax evasion and money laundering. Do you really want to deal with that?

You're completely misunderstanding their argument about pseudonymity. Patreon isn't magically exempt from KYC, they do have the real life identity of the creator. There's no legal reason why the patrons need to know everything that the company knows.

From the article:

> What that actually means is the platform has to allow creators (the people who charge money) to be pseudonymous (to use their stage name or pen names) in all of their interactions with their patrons (the people paying the money), and the platform, which is legally required to know the legal identity of the creator and have on file their relevant tax ID numbers (e.g. SSN in the US), needs to keep that legal identity confidential.

How is it like insurance? At least from one perspective, insurance is hedging risks - you put in a little and if something happens, you get a lot back.

Social Security is compulsory savings, and you get out pretty much what you put in.

(Maybe I'm focusing too much on one word.)

> it's "the third rail" because there is so much money on the table.

Also, I think because people feel an existential threat - some people rely on that money to survive.

And because, after seeing that deduction every two weeks for their entire lives, they want their payout.
That's one heck of an exclusion.
> Just write about your day if you need to.

In past, I had the habit of laying in bed and not being able to fall asleep because I was pondering about "bad" things that happened that day, or pondering about things going to happen the next day where I didn't feel confident about the outcome, or my role (or similar).

I kept this a little vague, I think the kind of events that keep you away from sleeping may be different for everyone. And if you have the habit of being in bed awake for longer time, you know why that is anyway.

To get to the point: Doing a daily writing basically wiped out the problem entirely for me. Nowadays, when I can't sleep, it is because I ate too much too late.

I do my writing once per day, usually close to bed time. I write about relatively noteworthy things ("another day of being too lazy to progress on hobby thing XY" is a pretty common one), then go a bit on a tangent maybe, why that is and if it's actually that bad. I try to be mostly gentle to myself here and keep it positive. If things happen that annoy me (neighbours annoying, cashier rude, big train delay, whatever), I of course write them down too, and also go on a tangent. Can I do something about this? Are there maybe good reasons for it, which I didn't think or care of the moment it happened, etc?

Basically, do the thing you would do while laying in bed and pondering things - the difference is, when you are not in bed, and writing, you do it in a more constructive, brief way. For events the next day (difficult meeting etc.) nail down the worst case, the way it will likely go, the things you for sure do not wanna do/say.

And it weeds out the desire to unwrap all that crap once more as soon as you lay down. Which is the whole point of the exercise, basically.

Do I read these things ever again? Most often not, honestly. But I maybe change my opinion on that, and if so, they are available.

FWIW, I write these on computer, not pencil and paper. Lowers the friction for me, and is fine. Most often it's in the range of 150-400 words, roughly guessed.

Is it likely the issue is within the Linux kernel itself or within the microcode for the CPU?
Hi there, my name is on the post!
The CPU graph was a 500 (second) drop in the sum of CPU usage of kube-proxy pods alone. I think this is okay to disclose (we took out most y axes during final edits, this one seems to be a collateral).
You're right about the flattening - since this work, we've taken out the pieces of knative we really needed. Right again about embedding some of those pieces in our L7 proxy.
We didn't upstream the changes because we feel our use case is atypical - all KServices (Knative Services) only ever had one pod. This constraint enabled most of the simplifications we were able to make.
On the last point - so do we!

> It used to be that even-numbered releases fixed bugs and stabilized the OS, with notable features coming in odd-numbered releases.

That's a myth. The stability comes from minor bug fix updates, not from major updates. And the even-numbered Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger for example had huge new features, such as Spotlight, Dashboard, VoiceOver, etc. Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar also had huge new features.

If I were starting up a Starlink competitor, even if Musk meant nothing to me personally I'd have quite a bad feeling about strategically relying on SpaceX. It seems like ordinary basic supplier management to use SpaceX competitors instead if you can.

The trick is to persist the tailscale var volume. The auth key is only used when setting up a particular client the first time, once it's connected to your network the auth key is irrelevant.

If you're doing this with ephemeral containers then yes you'll need a way to roll auth keys. OAuth credentials don't expire and Tailscale has a command line single purpose tool to get an auth key given OAuth credentials, so that can be a viable alternative.

Or alternatively, just don't have on-call?

It's incredible how many teams have on-call for their internal service which is only used during business hours across 1-4 timezones. If your system has predictable usage and isn't global, there's very little reason to have on-call unless you have a client willing to pay $$$ or the loss of business would be catastrophic, in which case you can absolutely afford to compensate your devs for it.

Is that with the understanding that your employer is more amenable to you taking time off during the weekdays if you do happen to spend time working on the weekends? Because many employers would want to have it both ways and not allow you to take time off the weekday just because you worked during the weekend.
