I have been looking for a cofounder to start an ISP since 1997 when I stopped running the first ISP I founded in 1988. I never found a business partner who didn't want to overcharge the customers.

First, fiber can be done much better than any provider I've seen.
Every house 4x10gbps openflow switches with P2P fibers to the neighbours brings down the network cost below $1 per month (from $10-$25 rental). IP transit cost for most would be just $1. Maybe another $1 for a huge disk cache (TV streaming). The most expensive part of the fee would be for helpdesk, support and billing.

The router can have TOR and anonymous VPN hardware at linespeed.

Better still to do Enernet: optical plus electrical grid, so you can trade your solar and ev battery electricity with the neighbourhood.

>And many (I dare say "most," or "nearly all") USB-PD power supplies top out at 3A when in 5V mode.

5 A at 5 V seems to be sufficiently unusual for USB-PD that Wikipedia's section on the specification doesn't mention it as being part of the specification at all, giving 3 A as the maximum in the specification for 5 V, and only mentioning 5 A with EPR and marked cables at higher voltages [1]. Discussions about 5 A at 5 V seem to come up essentially only in the context of the rpi5, and there most references seem to be to footnotes in the specification mentioning that more than 3 A can be advertised if a 5 A cable is detected. The rpi5 also apparently doesn't support 5 A at 5 V with PPS; it only supports it as a fixed voltage profile.

The result would seem to be that essentially no USB-PD power supply other than theirs, and one other SBC power supply, actually offers 5 A at 5 V in a way that the rpi5 will accept.

You're talking about string interpolation, and while string interpolation is a special case (and a side effect) of the string templates feature, it's not the goal of the feature. In fact, the feature is designed to help you avoid string interpolation in favour of safer template processors. Ideally, where it matters most, you wouldn't use STR."..." at all, but rather HTML."..." or SQL."....".

So the question that's relevant to the core of this feature is, which looks cleaner:

SQL."..."

or

SQL`...`

Because this is an actual method call, because Java's type safety and the fact that `\{` is a syntax error in a string means that string and template literals cannot possibly be confused, I think that the former is nicer and clearer for Java programmers and it's only longer by a single character; in fact, I would say that the latter would look very foreign (you could ask whether SQL"..." would be better, but this is an instance method call, and dropping the standard dot, I would argue, would not make things better).

You can see it better if you look at the JS examples here (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...), such as:

console.log.bind(1, 2)`Hello`;

Which, in Java syntax, would be written as:

console.log.bind(1, 2)."Hello";

I think it's much less weird for a Java programmer.

Also, it's not about "plugging in" other processors. The processor is chosen by the library. If a library offers an HTML processor as part of its API but not a method that takes a string, you simply cannot use STR even if you wanted to. The processor is more a constraint imposed by the API than a plugin you choose to use or not (as the type of the template expression is determined by the processor, and for the interesting processors it is not a string at all but rather a PreparedStatement or some JSON class or HTMLNode).

JS offers string interpolation in addition to string templates (or "tagged template strings", as they're called in JS), but we don't offer string interpolation as a Java language feature at all, because it's really dangerous and should be discouraged (certainly not made easier to use than safer templates). But supposed we did want to offer string interpolation in Java, then its syntax would simply be "...". There would be no confusion between a string and a string template even then.
There's nothing wrong with html/css/js. They are a joy to use really. We're just discussing the abstraction of React here. No need to completely disregard them. You can't eitherway.

If you're a heavy bandwidth user it's worth looking at Leaseweb, PhoenixNAP, Hetzner, OVH, and others who have ridiculously cheaper bandwidth pricing.

I remember a bizarre situation where the AWS sales guys wouldn't budge on bandwidth pricing even though the company wouldn't be viable at the standard prices.
I'm sure there are many more examples but famously Groove Armada recorded the trombone parts of "Superstylin'" and "At the River" through a speaker because they didn't have a microphone in the studio.
OVH (except for APAC data centers), I think Scaleway also has bandwidth included.

To simply borrow his name is indeed, I think, in pretty poor taste. The trend of naming unrelated products after scientists and inventors (from "Tesla" and "Nikola," to Theranos' "Edison," to "Ada Lovelace," and so forth,) has become unbelievably low-effort and cringe.

The Soviet Union was definitely an existential threat - not just to the US but to any country with liberal values.

Germany attacked its largest trading partner, France. More than once. People do not always act rationally or in their best interests. This is why deterrence is important. Rational people don't want to fight wars.

The recent forever wars are driven by neocon thinking. Neocons are statists (people who believe the state has the best interests of the people and are the best solvers of problems) who extend domestic agenda to international agenda. Hence, Iraq limited war (Bush I) gets turned into a project to rebuild Iraq into a western liberal democracy (Bush II). Afghanistan grows from a successful special operation to a futile state rebuilding exercise.

When you're the only super power, the way adversaries beat you is by getting you to punch yourself in the face by over reacting, acting out of pride, or giving in to fear.

Hey, thanks for the response.

I'm in the UK so not sure how much the US situation is contributing, though there might be knock-on effects.

I appreciate your feedback about what details to add and about that most recent point. I agree, and will spend some time rewriting.

Again, thanks so much for responding and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed those games. Cheers!
One thing that's very likely to happen is that major economies (US, EU, China, India, etc.) will start to isolate. Because AI will have such a profound effect on the competitiveness of companies and the regulatory environment between these blocks will be so different their respective companies are all potentially at risk. Within months let's say a US based and entirely AI run company could quickly supplant all European companies in the same field because the respective European companies don't have the computing power or expertise to compete or can't fire the now redundant workers due to some trade union influence. Rather than allowing all those European companies to be replaced there will be intense lobbying to effectively shut out any non-EU companies. AI will effectively end globalization with the exception of basic commodities trading.

But the amount of resources shouldn't dictate the penalty amount once resources have already been expended on the investigation?

I don't know enough about the process to answer that. Maybe it's true but if penalties can be challenged and a higher penalty will in practice cost more to defend then maybe not.

FWIW I agree there is a morality problem in keeping rules that are not then effectively enforced. But I'd rather have a quantitative problem that the principle is being recognised and a penalty applied even though the penalty isn't yet big enough to represent a true deterrent than the qualitative problem that there is no mechanism to penalise bad behaviour at all. One of these is much easier to push towards a good solution over time than the other. And I'd also rather converge on a good solution from this direction than go in very heavy-handed as some were suggesting elsewhere in this discussion and potentially cause catastrophic side effects very quickly.
Clever girl!
You have an impressing background!

I think folks reading this are seeing that you are too technical and lack of business acumen (while maybe not true).

For the work that you have done in each company they may be interested in the results of you creating these not that you created those. Did you ever find out what was the impact of your software development on the actual business?

Make sure to include numbers, people love data and lifts in sales, reach, clicks, awareness, revenue, etc.

You can save so much space by summarizing your language skills elsewhere instead of in each company. It also sounds redundant to say Used X, Y, Z because of course you needed to Use some programming language to achieve that. Group all of those elsewhere for those that you feel you are an expert with.

Best of luck!

Dilating the muscles? Dilation would normally be something that happens to holes (meaning they get larger); muscles can only tense and relax.
>Do venture capitalists want forever war?

Not necessarily. Investors make bets. So they want to be able to predict if a sector goes up or down. If it's up or down, it doesn't matter as they can make bets towards or against that sector.

Right now some investors think defense sector is on the rise, so they make their bets in that direction. Would have been otherwise, they would have been equally happy to short the defense companies. At which points someone would complain that "venture capitalists are destroying our defense industry".

Bad faith discussions are discouraged here.

Bad faith includes thing like refusing to engage with reality, and calling horrific lies that amount to genocide denial "actual facts", or calling a fact based argument "nonsense".

> The fact is of course Israel is going after Hamas, they are literally losing soldiers daily in battles witn Hamas, it’s absurd to deny this

I don't know how this point makes any logical sense to you, unless you're arguing in bad faith.

Israel losing soldiers doesn't mean anything about Israel "going after Hamas". They'd lose soldiers if their goal was total destruction and making Palestinian lives so miserable and unlivable that they move "voluntarily" as expressed by Israel's own Minister for Communications.

> If you want to understand this conflict, you have to understand the facts first

It's a genocide.

Lawyers for the top court in the world have made a profoundly well sourced and factual argument on this.

If you have any respect whatsoever for truth and reality, I urge you to watch or read the arguments presented before saying things like "you have to understand the facts".

Summary in simpler terms?

So it's just because the actions in game where functions which were assigned an id and callable by id.

Then because OP was able to reverse engineer that id generator, OP was able to call whatever he wanted once he tested what id was doing what.

Didn't read the math in the middle, I could get it but takes too much time at my age nowadays.

My 2 cents: You have awesome 3D Graphics/Games development experience. The best way to leverage that would be to market yourself as a 3D Graphics SW Developer/3D Game developer (you may need to deep dive a bit into 3D Graphics principles, OpenGL). Almost every semi company (Arm, QC, BC, Intel etc) and even FAANG's have openings for 3D Graphics SW engineers and you are actually well qualified for those as background in games is highly valued for these roles. Note: you will miss working with GFX apps in these roles, but you will not miss the pay!!!

The problem as I see it is: are you a games/3D Graphics developer, full stack developer or AI/ML engineer? The lack of clarity in this difficult market may be one of the reasons.

Microsoft SQL Server uses similar architecture [1], but instead of using separate log files, it allocates Virtual Log Files (VLF) inside a physical (on-disk) log file. VLFs are allocated from a ring buffer and apparently there can be several thousands of them before things start to break.

My approximate journey (7,500 notes, 13% markdown, remainder .txt)

(pc, circa 2010) notepad > Evernote > notepad > (mac) > vim > Notational Velocity > NVUltra (still in) beta > "The Archive" (Zettelkasten) > (n)vim

- notes synced with Dropbox folder (could just as well use iCloud)
- with vim fzf/telescope plugins for search

What finally flipped me back to vim was using a setup script to give me a useful set of plugins that did nice markdown highlighting out of the box, and then working out how to do things like auto-indenting, opening URLs in browser, renaming files more easily etc.

Slight annoyance: yet to find a way to search both filenames and file contents at the same time

Do systems that link from one note to another help me? Apparently not much. Quite a lot of effort to maintain the links, better to express hierarchy in filenames.

Thanks very much for taking a look!

I appreciate the suggestion of adding more "soft" human bits about me. As a dev my natural reaction to team-player stuff on CVs is "anyone can say they're a team player, who cares?" but maybe recruiters see it differently.

I've gone back and forth on separating the volunteer work. Having it all in one column I felt it looked like I was trying to pad out "real" paid experience with unpaid "filler", but again, appreciate the different perspective and will try chronological again for a bit.

I like Rust; done some OSS contributions in it. I'll try adding a section about that. Thanks!

Will also consider professional help (of the CV kind).

Thanks again for responding!

This is configurable, and for small things you might disable WAL completely.

When using WAL, if you’re copying or backing up the database it’s possible to force a checkpoint, then you can copy the .db file alone knowing exactly up to when it contains data.
Since directories are just references that tell you where a resource is located and don't actually contain the resource, that's not very difficult.

I am in general surprised and worried about the role media is playing in priming us for big military conflict. An unfortunate outcome of the collapse of Iron Curtain has in fact been the triumph of capitalism at the expense of freedom and democracy (which it could have been). This triumph of capitalism then set the foundations of returning the world to pre WWI tensions between great powers, which is exactly what is happening in Ukraine and Middle East, both of which are key gateways for flow of resources. I predict that soon there will be a big influx of wealthy families into places like South America due to its relative geographical safety from nuclear conflict. Part of me wishes that US and Russia resume testing of nuclear weapons just to remind people how terrible such weaponry really is.
