There are lots of posts here about using Cloudflare. There's also X4B[1] and Cohmbaton[2] in case you're looking for a non-Cloudflare alternative.

You've mentioned that your hosting provider has DDOS protection (which is usually Voxility[3]/Path[4]) will usually send traffic to your VPS through their scrubbing centers, taking care of the L4 attacks. Ratelimiting and aggressive caching can take care of the rest.

If you're completely into this on your own, consider setting up a number of PoPs which relay traffic to your backend servers, and these PoPs should drop UDP traffic dropped the prerouting level to drop packets without high CPU consumption. There's also eBPF/XDP, but those require much more engineering work and a compatible network card that can run a eBPF program, otherwise you're still using the CPU to drop packets.

Every time I watch these I wonder about the process behind creating them. There is so much going on and this is a case where there is all this complexity hiding under the surface in order to present something so simple and elegant.

* Simply keeping the rider on the sled and moving, which for those who have played is not a simple task for a beginner

* Synchronizing it to the music

* The artistic selection of what to show when and where, and getting all of the pieces in place, for example keeping things off screen but nearby until they are needed, and then positioning their velocity vector to just match what you need

* The simple task of managing the artifact which is the course itself; how do you manipulate it and move it around and know precisely where to put a line for a given effect

* The intimate knowledge of the underlying physics at play in Line Rider

Surely there is some sort of software-assissted level editor for Line Rider out there? How much of the level is worked out backwards from the desired velocity and position of a given character?

Frankly it is not dissimilar from writing code at a modern company. At first you think your job is to write code, then you learn that a successful project relies on orchestrating dependencies, teams, artifacts, build times, infrastructure, sweet talking, etc. And so much of it happens off screen!
> But the experience left me skeptical of unions in this profession. I think something like employees pooling their equity to get representation on the board or something like that might be more effective.

This wildly overstates the amount of equity that non-exec employees have at the vast majority of firms. It also ignores that fact that companies are able to issue different classes of stock with differing rights. Further, it overstates the possible influence of a single board member. The Dow Jones board has 14 members; I'm not sure that adding a 15th to represent employees would meaningfully change anything beyond the length of the board meetings.

> Workers living paycheck to paycheck (61% of the population

According to US BLS and Federal Reserve studies, only about 15% of the population necessarily lives paycheck-to-paycheck. The median US household has a ~$12,000 surplus per year after all ordinary expenses. Note that "ordinary expenses" includes car payments on a BMW, the latest iPhone, and other by-no-means-necessary expenditures, and also includes all healthcare costs.

If 61% of the US population is living paycheck-to-paycheck, it isn't because they need to. Americans have very high income surpluses compared to the rest of the developed world. 15% of the population necessarily living paycheck-to-paycheck is still a lot of people, but it implies 85% are not.
You couldn’t use a computer on standardized testing. The HP48 series had so much built-in functionality that they arguably shouldn’t have been allowed. For myself, a perennially shitty and unmotivated math student in high school, the SAT was really a test of how quickly I could use my HP48—and I practically aced it. The calculator was just that good.

As mentioned in another reply, HP does still sell a successor to the HP48 series. But regardless, I don’t think determining the quality of a calculator based on the business decisions of a company known for its persistently and astonishingly terrible corporate choices really makes a whole lot of sense…

I'm on Linode since ~2012 and some time ago they added free ddos prottection to their offering, it was advertised on HN too [1]. Hetzner is also offering something to mitigate ddos.

There was HN thread asking the same question [2]

Having said this, none of my services were targetted by ddos, it made me thinking that maybe maintaining a list of 'healthy' clients IP addresses during good time and then banning anything from outside of that list in bad times? Sounds lame I know, I wait for ideas emerging in this thread :)

Well, it is a concept after all. Most concept vehicles are a hard pass for me too but I guess people like them because companies keep making (usually) crazy concept cars all the time.

Also, the yoke is not a Tesla invention, F1 cars use yokes too, and with Toyota having a history in F1, this may be a nod to that.

> please don't complain

I don't complain. If I see an ad I just close the tab. uBlock Origin and yt-dlp is the only reason I watch stuff on YouTube at all.

> That's up to the content creators, not Youtube.

Their business relationships are not my concern. I'm not paying to watch ads. Maybe YouTube should implement their own Sponsor Block system for the benefit of their paying customers.
That's technical, and not architectural. I'm _all about_ technical solutions to lack of discipline, and in fact I think technical and process solutions are the only immediate way to create cultural solutions (which are the long-term ones). I'd even consider minor increases to architectural complexity for that purpose justifiable - it's a real problem, and trading to solve it is reasonable.

But architectural complexity has outsized long-term cost, and service-orientation in particular has a _lot_ of it. And in this particular case, it doesn't actually solve the problem, since you _can't_ successfully enforce those domain boundaries unless you already have them well-defined.
Well, there isn't a meaningful inner product, so how can you speak of parallelograms? The geometries are definitely weird! Once you leave p=2 and break the rotational symmetry around the origin, the only isometries in your geometry are signed permutation matrices - so geometry "over here" looks different from "over there". Angles aren't really meaningful, I guess.

The other interesting thing is that duality kicks in (or maybe becomes non-trivial, since it's always there) and derivatives naturally start to live in a different space. If you take the particularly natural definitions of general cos_p and sin_p I alluded to, you get a nice parameterization of the unit p-circle as (cos_p(t), sin_p(t)) - but if you differentiate this wrt t, the resulting tangent vectors don't lie on the p-circle. Instead, they form a parameterization for the q-circle!
Gordon Hollingworth:

"In future we’ll have to do something, but for Pi 5 we feel the hardware encode is a mm^2 too far."

Sounds reasonable, given a fast cpu & less-than optimal hw-accelerated encoding options. As for that "something", maybe:

1) Drop hw-accelerated encoding and decoding entirely, and use the freed up silicon for much beefier cpus (like ones including -bigger- vector units, more cores etc. Cortex X?). That would be useful for any cpu heavy applications.

2) Include hw encoder for a common (1), relatively 'heavy' codec. And hw decoder for same + maybe others.

3) Only include decoder(s?), like they seem to have done for RPi5.

4) Include some kind of flexible compute fabric that can be configured to do the heavy lifting for popular video codecs.

Combined with:

5) Move to newer silicon node to obtain higher efficiency or transistor budget.

Whatever route a future RPi would go, imho hw-accelerated decoding is much more useful than encoding.

"Humans aren't robots. They aren't flawless. Every prolific public speaker messes up and says something that's complete nonsense while trying to collect the right word."

Competely agree, what's jarring is that he is replying to a simple question asking to define something that is literally the focal point of his intellectual career. It is possible that he just messed up and said something that as you say was 'complete nonsense'. But for me a simple accident is not the most likely reason given the context.

"Surely this isn't the first time he's been asked this question on camera if it's such an important part of his persona. Why this clip? If he consistently defines it poorly, that's one thing. I can't take what could be his worst attempt to define it as normal."

Fair enough, can you source any other examples of him defining racism?
Jason Lemkin's advice for startup SaaS businesses is to heavily invest in customer success: you need to give a shit. Otherwise your customer churn numbers are going to be high, and it makes failure increasingly likely.

When I was being courted by a startup for an IC position, the best question I asked was "What does your churn look like?". It was really low, and despite some other reservations I ended up taking the job, and we had an awesome exit. Because our customers really loved us, and we worked hard to make them successful.

- Taught at Harvard

- Tenured Professor at the largest University in Canada

- 20+ year clinical practice

- Best selling author with over 5 million copies sold

This definitely happens but at some point someone with authority needs to show technical leadership and say "you cannot do this no matter how desperately you need those reports." If you don't have anyone in your org who can do that, you're screwed regardless.

I gotta say, the more I read that quote, the less I can agree with your conclusion. That whole paragraph reads like a bunch of CYA speak written by someone who is afraid of killer robots and can't differentiate between an abacus and Skynet.

Who are these well informed tech people in the White House? The feds can't even handle basic matters like net neutrality or municipal broadband or foreign propaganda on social media. Why do you think they suddenly have AI people? Why would AI researchers want to work in that environment?

Unfortunately he doesn't know what he signed.
I haven't thought about it this way, I hope youre right. Here's what comes to my mind after PE buys vet clinic:

- Analyze all the employees using a "system" to gauge "productivity metrics"

- Pressure management to get rid of an employee or two to increase profits, making everyone else work harder.

- Seek additional income streams from dubious "insurance" products that may or may not pay. Help market their products by spreading false information that insurance gives them "peace of mind".

- Increase costs to see what the market will bear

- Put all employees on a unified HR system that has a strict 1-size policy, little gotchas like "no health insurance for the first 60 days", limited PTO, etc. Ignore anyone who speaks badly because "this is company policy ". Give the business director a bonus when he finds new and creative ways to "maximize profits" at the cost of denigrating staff and making them work harder under more constrained policies.

- Lock all dr's salaries and staff pay to the same scale because "policy". Work harder? Why try? I get paid the same amount either way. Employees game the system to work the minimum to avoid termination. Not because they love animals, those people quit in the first 60 days (which is why our health coverage doesn't kick in before then).

- remove as much of their agency as possible, helping a poor persons injured dog is no longer acceptable, pay-as-you-go and sliding-scale billing are so 1990's, we have a business to run, the policy is "put the animal down and move on to the next paying customer". House calls are a liability and take valuable time away from the business, effective next year they are no longer allowed.

- appeal to emotion to upsell wealthy customers to services that promise to prolong the animal's life (but increase suffering and are medically unethical).

- Fewer people go to the vet now because they can't afford it, more animals suffer so that rich men can have more profit.
I care because these PE backed firms can (and do) screw the consumer (me, my family, my friends, you) and there is no visibility.

Do you understand it's possible to follow the law and still use greed to screw the consumer? Are you being intentionally naive?
My question is, what did people do before Cloudflare? There are different types of DDoS attacks. I vaguely remember what we did over a decade ago, which was blackhole IPs. I'm not sure if people still do this directly with iptables, but at the time, this was the bread-and-butter approach for transport DDoS. If your issue was web application related, then you'd move up to fail2ban.

DDoS protection for web applications is a different beast than raw transport.

If you're a vicim of an amplified DDoS attack, your filtering may need to occur off the server.
The whole post is gold.

- managers asked how it was possible we saved that much without help from them

- asked to prepare slides

- asked many times on how it happened

- had to roll it out slowly to make it look like they did it over time incrementally vs one small toggle

- asked for a raise due to impact and did not happen.

I'm a bit taken aback at the replies who say that EA never takes that into consideration. It had been actually exactly the kind of discourse I was seeing back in 2019 in the EA sphere. Actually, the reason this changed is exactly to avoid another SBF disaster: If you focus too much on consequentialism and convoluted reasons for why you're doing is the highest EV, you are incentivizing very unlawful and unwanted behaviours. EA pivoted to a more deontological framework to avoid those kind of dangerous reasonings at that point

If you're comparing between two products and one is $1500 and the other is $1501, is that $1 really entering your list of pros/cons? No, of course not. It's irrelevant at that point, literally any other difference (even what color the dumb thing is) is immediately more significant. That's my point, there's a point at which the increased end-price as a result of the licensing is such a small % of the total price as to simply no longer be significant for the consumer buying the product. And phones are already expensive enough that the SoC being 1-2% more expensive simply doesn't matter in any meaningful degree to the end purchase price. Nobody is looking at the $1200 iPhone 15 Pro Max and going "damn, if only this was $0.50 cheaper, then it'd be all over it..."
