The US government did not invent insurance. If a company wanted to compete with an existing insurance company but do it differently, they can already do that; direct primary care offerings exist right now.

Healthcare, when coupled with a profit motive, offers misaligned incentives, period. Getting people healthier for cheaper doesn't make a healthcare company money.

That is why I believe basic healthcare should be socialized. That doesn't mean we can't have private companies offering countless other medical services or additional insurance, but nobody should be getting denied a cochlear implant because they are deaf due to 'paperwork issues' for months or years until they die.
HRV is indeed a good proxy metric for sleep quality, and I can really recommend Garmin watches for measuring it. Even the cheap models track the "Stress" metric 24/7 (which is HRV under the hood). More expensive ones have pulse ox monitoring and a full blown sleep analyzer that provides sleep stage breakfown and a compound sleep quality score. All from just being worn on the wrist normally through the night.

However, HRV is not the whole story about sleep quality. If you develop sleep apnea, for example, your HRV will not react very much, though your sleep quality will suffer. There is no substitute for sleep study to detect such issues.
If you use etags it's up to R2. I'm assuming R2 is consistent here.

So if you write to the same file twice, one write will succeed before the other and change the etag of the file, which should in theory cause the other request to R2 to fail because the etag you send with as conditional no longer matches.
I struggle with this as well and decided the only thing I can control is wake up, so I stretch those into 45-90 minute periods using increasing music volume to wake up.

Having a time period to wake up makes it more likely I fall asleep in a predictable time period. Going to sleep at X to wake up at Y is all fail for me.

What’s with the soundproofing thing? I don’t follow what you’re getting at. Yes you could solve the problem with soundproofing, but that’s really expensive. Some distance and a loud fan is something more people already have than soundproofed rooms. If you’d rather soundproof, sure, go nuts, I’m not providing an exhaustive list of solutions.

> but no time/scheduling constraints for adults seems unlikely.

For parents with 9-5 sorts of jobs, it works fine. You don’t even need “sleep-per-parent x2” amounts of contiguous time available, because there’ll be a gap of usually a hour or three between the last time the kid wakes up for first-parent and the first time they wake up for second-parent, and it’s not like you can’t get any sleep while “on duty”. We were managing 6ish uninterrupted hours per parent in the very worst weeks for each kid, and more than that for total sleep, with a sleep window (for us, the parents) of about 10 hours. Not sure what you mean. Yeah inconsistent shift work or something could mess it up, but that messes up everything.
Uninformed Prohibitionist nonsense

You can speak for your own department. Some of us are shipping products and know what we're doing.

It's insane to think it would make sense to build on anything other than the best existing commercial technology and expect it to be reliable, affordable and maintainable. The military would not and should not change everything from Windows/Linux and Chrome to some completely custom OS and UI. (In the places we do provide products with the latter, we are more than state-of-the-art.)

Avionics have been piggybacking off of commercial electronics due to the sheer scale since at least the 1980's because it just makes sense, while the primes have been slow to do the same in software, partly due to mindsets like yours.

And the fact is, when creating software, everything starts out buggy, because nothing exists. That's why you develop, test and fix it. Normally we of course wouldn't ship anything that's not perfect, but our customers have begged us for products, saying they have nothing that can deal with some of the threats they face and so are okay with having to restart an app every now and then until it's ironed out.

Plus, if you can see through Anduril's marketing, how can you not see through China's marketing?
Makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Also, I take it whatever adware they want to add is proprietary, so that won't be compatible with the GPL'ed code anyway. The legal basis for this sellout seems very thin to me altogether. I think the company's only option would be to remove every single third-party contribution?

They have a few changes, chief among them being the PopOS scheduler which I find to be quite effective: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-scheduler

The desktop itself is a weird custom-baked x11/GNOME customization you won't really get on Ubuntu. Not many distributions can claim the title of being truly "unique", but PopOS does deserve the title in my opinion. Even still it wouldn't be my choice for gaming, but I'll defend it's identity as something more than another GNOME/Debian spin.

I'm not as worried independent implementations become impossible as much as nobody wants to do them. Smaller backed projects like Ladybird and Flow get plenty far already for me to feel confident independent implementations are possible but, at the same time, Edge and Opera being moved to a Chromium base show it's very hard for independent implementations to align justification out of more than principle.

This would be less of a problem if there was more even control on the Chromium side. Right now the vast majority goes the way Google wants it to go, with minor control of what happens via e.g. Microsoft or other developers. If it were more shared it wouldn't be as big a concern that this one giant complicated machine grows ever more. I mean that's basically the reality of Linux in a lot of markets.

I also use voip.ms and the only time they where unreliable was when they were under a DDOS attack. What equipment do you use to bridge the voip to your physical telephone? I suspect that it would be your principal source of unreliability.
Does it?

I firmly believe that most problems people have with sleep also depend on modern "way of living", that is highly Artificial.

For example, lots of people have Apnea, and Apnea is highly correlated with being obese, and being obese is normal in the Western world, but it was not 100 years ago.

So it is not about being older but about being overweight, something that depends on eating healthy and exercising, that most people do not do.

Another important factor is artificial lighting, again a 100 years old thing, people that have used candles know how dim they are, and people using screens in the bedroom until late, specially social media.

Social Media is addictive, but you don't need to use it, people can stop using it, but they just don't want to.

Also living in the city is noisy, expensive and stressful. Most people are worried about lots of things, and that makes them sleep badly.

I don't think this is very good advice. Enough of the companies that believe in testing by algorithms are smart enough to change their questions slightly for each candidate.

I'm not sure, however, what if anything testing by algorithms proves. Sure, you should know how and when to use them like I know how and when to use different blades of a saw. Nobody has ever asked me to tell them how the saw gets made though. The things that matter to me as a Senior+ engineer these days are:

- Do you know how and when to use various algorithms

- Are you going to conform to a given code bases styling and standards

- Do you know how to properly test a given piece of functionality

- Do you know how to interrogate the debugger to find answers to your own questions

- Do you know commonly accepted standards and where to find them

- Are you going to over engineer and completely pollute the code base with unmaintainable code or infrastructure

Algorithms and systems design test for only one of the above. If we ever get a tech union algorithm interviews are on a top five of things I'd like them to do away with.
Never heard of it. Looks sveltish.
Not working from Linux hosts, unfortunately. After the news, I pulled my Quest 2 out for the first time this year, spent an hour getting it to update which required being re-paired to my Oculus dev account via a smartphone app (why?), and was unable to link the app on the headset by pin the way Steam Link works everywhere else.

ALVR and Virtual Desktop both worked for me on Linux previously, but they weren't the greatest experience. I was really hoping this would finally bridge the divide in experience.
You can run a local gitlab instance, so I'd assume self-hosting as a rider on that. Unless I've been making some very bad mistakes.

GitLab's not too bad. I had a Gradle pile I had been using but once I knocked out some old Java bits I wanted to sleek my "required tools" down a bit. I've integrated some OpenProject stuff into GL also. Maybe someday . . for "minimal" clients . . I can just bring in the GitLab and call it a day, so far as server stuff is concerned.

That day is not today, however. Customers in my business want a lot - like, a LOT a lot - of project toys, and homebrewing those in GitLab is beyond my skills.
My method is similar to meditation. I focus on my faint tinnitus, and expand the peripheral awareness to any other sounds. When my mind starts wandering I bring the focus back to the sense of hearing. It helps clear the mind and I'm out in minutes, pretty reliably. Only time it doesn't work is when I've had too much coffee (not that I learn from that mistake).

I also tried other methods, like reading a book before sleep, the 4-7-8 breathing pattern, and the white noise generator, but to me they are just distractions.
I started my first startup in September 2001. We got amazing people for nothing and free office space. Post-2008, my series-A failed to produce any sales because the market was simply gone. But at least I could find and retain good engineers. I would be afraid to start a company today.
At most of the companies I’ve interviewed at (except Google as you note), the hiring manager and principal engineer didn’t understand system design themselves. They only understood how to pattern match against a regurgitated answer.

Case in point, when asked how I’d build Slack, I spent most of the time on data persistence because slack stores all data forever even on the free plan. I got rejected because, “we don’t care how they store data.”

Ok, but that’s still a key part of the system design…

I'm amazed at how email server software is innovating and evolving like never before. We have new implementations of SMTP, IMAP, etc. We even have new protocols like JMAP thanks to the Fastmail guys.

But it also feels like fewer and fewer people are running their own mail servers. Everyone seems to just outsource it to Google or Microsoft. I'm also surprised at how many engineers barely understand how email works. (IE: I have to show them what email headers are and the useful info that can ne found there.)

Like a charm, three for three. No night feedings past 12 weeks for any of the three. Longest “cry it out” period of the three was three nights (because all were comfortably at a single feeding by then, and used to falling back asleep on their own after more-minor sleep interruptions) All slept great—and as long as medical professionals say they should, which is a thing we notice most other young kids in our circle not coming even close to doing—until old enough to start worrying about death and stuff like that, which—yeah, same here, kid.

[edit] and actually the whole rest of this holds without capping it with that action, it just means you’ll need to keep up the shift thing for 6-12 months instead of 3, and—from what I’ve seen—deal with a couple nights a week of your kid waking up in the middle of the night the whole rest of their early childhood. The shift-sleeping strategy has no bearing on that, but does get you a couple REM cycles a night, even in the worst of it.

This may be obvious to most, but if you can’t sleep and your mind is empty, you probably have something bio going on.

If you can’t sleep and you have ten things you’re worrying about then it’s probably more psychological and you might have to get that sorted before expecting night bliss.

Have been amazed the number of people who complain about sleep and have all sorts of drama going on. People have this sense that the act of laying down and closing your eyes = sleep mode.

I've wondered for a while if as LLM usage matures, there will be an effort to optimize hotspots like what happened with VMs, or auto indexed like in relational DBs.

That's an issue with Verizon then. They should be able to see that the number is spoofed, as it will have a lower/lack of attestation from the originating carrier.

Stir shaken doesn't prevent spoofing but it lets terminating carriers validate that the number is legit before sending the call to their customer.

My old team implemented stir shaken for one of the large voip carriers.
> GPL, on the other hand, can make it possible for a corp to buy the project and effectively prevent further development, like it happened with MySQL.

That's not correct.

All of the MySQL GPL code was and is free for continued development. The company has no right to stop you or me from continuing to work on it. MariaDB was forked from MySQL and continues to be GPL licensed.

How do you think the GPL "effectively prevent further development"?
I’ve long had a very similar argument for why commuting in the Bay Area* sucks: because it’s just tolerable enough that people keep doing it. It’s not unmanageable, but it drains your life little by little every day.

* This, of course, applies to all long commutes everywhere, like how it applies not only to Jenkins, but lots of other software too… especially Jira.
I'm not who you're responding to, so I don't know what they intended. But sleep issues can certainly lead to memory issues. So, maybe both?

When I was in my mid 30s, I suddenly had extreme memory issues. For example, at dinner time, I had no memory of what I ate for lunch or even if I had lunch at all. I could remember people that I knew, but I could not remember if I talked with them earlier in the day. It was all very scary.

After various neurological tests showed nothing unusual, my doctor thought we should look into sleep issues. It turned out I suffer from something called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome - whereas the average person has a natural bedtime that is ~24 hours after they last went to sleep, mine was significantly longer than 24 hours.

My doctor concluded that this was the source of my memory issues. That confused me a bit, as I experienced trouble sleeping my entire life prior to this diagnosis. She explained that the consequences of inadequate sleep worsen as we age.

It was inconvenient for work and social things, but I was able to start living longer days (i.e., don't go to bed until I'm sleepy). Within a week, the recall issues I'd had were a memory (see what I did there?). I was also able to fall asleep much more quickly than I had before, and sleep duration didn't have the wild swings I'd experienced all my life.

I'm not sure what you're basing this on? The US' overarching military strategy for decades now has been to prepare for a two-front war with both China and Russia. I'm not seeing how a rounding error on the US defense budget, mostly in the form of mothballed munitions, is materially reducing readiness. Never mind the capacity of the US to switch to wartime munition production.

If you have some sources talking about how how the US can't launch a regional conflict I'd love to see them.
