Stop thinking "me me me" all the time, but ask yourself "what can I do to help others?"
The nuance is that, sometimes, in order to be able to take care of others you have to take care of/work on yourself first (simply keep in mind that you are doing that in order to come back stronger to be able to help others. Never loose sight of the bigger picture).

I had an ISDN line in my home that, somehow, had a direct connection to the intranet of my employer at the time, Infoseek. Not sure how this was all arranged, but it was just like having a very long wire that went to my employer. Someone in Infoseek's IT department set it up.

Sometime after, DSL replaced this. And I used some form of DSL until, eventually, cable modems became cheap and fast and available in my area.
Not directly, but it does increase cost. Thicker pipe costs more.
Is the field of competition so ripe here? I'm seeing Go, but what else?

It seems a lot of the other languages:

- don't have an easy compilation story (interpreted, VM, compilers as secondary implementations)

- lean more on the functional side (Ocaml, Haskell)

- otherwise clash with the common BCPL-family mindset (Oberon, arguably Go)

There definitely seems room for an "easier C++". Heck, given how popular Rust is due to backing and support from the functional crowd, leaning into ease of use and imperative programming might be a sufficiently large niche.
25-year network architect/system admin here.

I am disappointed and furious about the progress of our communications industry. ISPs for far too long have been milking the taxpayers and foremost the customers.

During high school, I ran our town's dial-up ISP. This was a high school program to bring internet to our little town, at an affordable non-long-distance price.
My most recent employment was taking a wISP from 1300 customers to 5000 customers in 2.5 years with a staff of less than 10. We had 2 IT wizards, the primary owner and myself. The rest were installers/physical maintenance and 2 secretaries.

I'm looking to found an ISP similar to my previous employer, BUT this is going to be a hybrid tower/fiber model ISP that must operate at the lowest cost to consumers possible.

I have worn so many hats it's time to put them all on at once. I'm just not sure if I can pull this off by myself nor will my savings cover the start-up cost.

Sorry for the rant, and no contact info. I should probably spin up the website/email server for contact points while thinking this over.

In Europe at least there are several new manufacturers that try to compete on price. Skoda in the 90s, Dacia later and now the Chinese EV brands.
Regarding the comparison with RMI, the authors did mention it:

> Java RMI use a programming model similar to ours but suffered from a number of technical and organizational issues [58] and don’t fully address C1-C5 either

Apart from that, it looks like Java RMI allowed remote objects returning other remote objects, rather than only immutable values. With that you could abuse it by making a call to one java.rmi.Remote object, getting another java.rmi.Remote object in response, then passing it around, and then finding a totally different subsystem suddenly make RPCs (however, such abuse probably would be easy to spot in a code review, as it requires a modification to the remote object interface).

The authors also acknowledge that it doesn’t solve the distributed computing challenges:

> our proposal does not solve fundamental challenges of distributed systems [53, 68, 76]. Application developers still need to be aware that components may fail or experience high latency

I think at least in terms of latencies their platform can occasionally inject latencies into some percentage of the tasks, then verifying if any alerts fire, if there is a fear the components become dependent on a certain deployment shape (within a cluster).

Predictable Evolution? Groundbreaking Study Upends Long-Held View
The answer is right there in front of everyone. I’m surprised hardly anyone sees it when it has shown up in popular fiction before.

In order to colonize space in our solar system we have to master living in space and building space habitats. If you live on a habitat full time then what do you care if it’s travelling around a star or towards another star or not even trying to go to a star and just moving from one interstellar object to another? If the habitat is big enough to contain two hundred million people then it is effectively the size of the world that most humans lived in for a large chunk of recorded history. The idea may seem strange to us but our current lives are very strange compared to the lives of those who lived when there were only two hundred million people alive on the planet.

It is certainly a calamity. The extent to which the threat is existential is very much open to debate, however. While doing nothing and letting it happen is a stupid and likely more costly choice in the long run, the idea of it being "existential" sounds like hyperbole to me. I suspect we'll adapt with moderate difficulty.
There are so many costs involved that this is a non-starter for a lot of people.

It is, and written mostly out of disappointment after reading the pr discussions. I still believe that Walter should have at least addressed it instead of going circles and acting as if nothing is happening. It is clear that what has been behind the scenes for years just poured out now and unsurprisingly it doesn’t look nice. We can talk volumes about how hard it is to manage large projects and keep everyone happy when in the end nobody cares if there is no progress. Weka ppl pretty much upfront said it.
> Programmers who don't want the GC are already using C++

Sure, but this was in a response about D substituting C++.
Yes. Similarly MySQL will report as deadlocks when transactions are not in a deadly embrace but also in cases where A wants a lock held by B, and B (has for some time) wants a lock held by C, and C is just being slow not needing any more locks.
This is not really a useful nor practical perspective in my opinion. You can be fully aware of it, but still live your life without unnecessary stress. Similarly, one day you will inevitably, invariably die. That doesn't mean you should live the rest of your life in fear.

There are elections every year in the US. Even just going to local council meetings and voting out local electives has profound effects. Then there’s the more visible elections for House Representatives, Senators, and POTUS. But people have to do their civic duty first. Also writing your local representatives is a thing-which is also a civic duty. The more they hear the more likely it goes into their career calculations.

Generally these people are reachable via email so I don't want to hear “the work week wont allow it.” If you have time to post to HN or reddit or wherever about what’s pissing you off you can do some civic duty to effect change.

In the late 90s, I lived in rural Appalachia and had terrible pings with lots of packet loss on my 56k modem. Found a local ISDN provider and my parents paid to have the ISDN line installed into my bedroom.

I was in heaven! Now I could play Action Quake 2 and Quake 3 Arena without glitching all the time! Those were good times :)
Laundry latency is not a problem for me. I do not have consecutive loads 90+% of the time. I have 3-4 loads a week.

On the other hand, I do have limited space for appliances, so in many places I've lived buying a seperate washer and dryer would mean either forgoing a dishwasher, or getting a condenser dryer and installing it in the corner of some random room away from the other appliances (which would technically be a code violation as then it wouldn't have its own dedicated RCD).

So I get a combo unit, turn it on and forget about it for several hours (when I'm home all day, I even use the eco mode, which takes 6 hours for a combined wash and dry). Come back later in the day and unload. It actually does have a 60 minute wash + dry cycle but I rarely use it as it uses a very hot dry cycle which risks shrinking clothes.

Yes, the pattern seems to be to quickly transfer value from the company to the PE firm, or directly into the pockets of the PE managers and friends, even if it hollows out the company and leaves it a shriveled mess.

As an example, the PE firm owning our company recently mandated that we switch our tooling from X to a more expensive Y, because Y is owned by the PE firm, and doing so makes the PE firm more money, at the expense of our company. This pattern repeated for multiple solutions we used.

Sometimes the PE firm will literally tear the company apart to sell the pieces, inventory, equipment, etc. The goal is to make money. That might come from making the company stronger and more competitive long-term, but in my experience and observation, that is not how a lot of PE firms approach the goal

For APL I started with the Mastering Dyalog APL book they have for free on their website which is good, but long. Someone recommended an ancient book I found on Amazon called "APL An Interactive Approach 2nd Ed." I think by Gilman and Rose that is very easy to follow. There are plenty of tutorials online now too (a lot more than when I started looking 8 years ago).

For J, I read a good bit of "Numerical Programming in J" or something along those lines. I've found J to be more difficult than APL or K to pick up tbh. The tacit trains is just a bit too hard for me to follow.

> why are manufacturers pushing “crossovers” and SUVs on consumers and why are consumers buying them?

They’re pushing crossovers because they can sell them for a higher margin. A taller vehicle looks like you’re getting more for your money. Of course, they don’t actually cost that much more to make.

People buy them because that’s what’s on the lot and that’s what’s trendy… and the manufacturers create the trends to increase profits.

The market is rational, but no one said it was very smart.

Well it's kind of cringy because when I was working on it actively I was rather enamored with crypto, much of the prose didn't age well.

But here are some interesting artifacts:

- https://github.com/MatrixManAtYrService/thred.store/blob/mas...

- https://github.com/MatrixManAtYrService/thred.store/tree/mas...

The idea was that if you're going to bind significant value to an artifact that can be stolen it should be:

- kind of heavy, like... not pickpocketable

- hard to destroy, like... can survive a fire or being buried for a million years (happens in some scifi I'm writing)

- made of things you can commonly get with cash, so nobody can look at your purchase history and know you have one

The thought was that we could use it in math class. Sort of like an alternate reality where basic numeracy meant something different.

I can't quite recall the details of why, but I remember that if you do three washers per base-64-symbol, and you stick to messages which are multiples of four symbols long, then any conversions that a student is likely to to are unlikely to run into weird issues involving padding (equals signs are used by base64 converters to say "no data here, but not zero's either', I wanted to sheild the user from having to think about that).

Also, humans are good at preserving near-exact copies of prose, so if you need an entropy source you can take a particular scene in a novel and strip it of non-base64 characters, and use it (in addition to other entropy sources) as a sort of one-time-pad.

I was also working on social key recovery. It would be unreasonable in today's world to expect that average folk would be carrying out such an algorithm by hand, but supposing that it was indeed considered basic numeracy, maybe not. Especially if it's the only way to gain access to your inheritance because something dystopian has happened to the legal system. (Nowadays I'm not sure I think that generational value transfer is a good idea, but this is a snapshot of how I was thinking about it 6 years ago).

As for the cards themselves, I wanted one side to show you how to encode that base64 symbol in washers on a bolt, and the other side to show you how to add/subtract that symbol with every other base64 symbol. There were going to be encryption / decryption mats which told you where to lay the cards and how to carry out the operations.

I was going lock up some money, compromise half of the social-key-recovery scheme at a talk at defcon or somesuch, and see if the community could crack into the other half. I figured I'd just put more money in the prize wallets every year and use the "the money is still there" as a source for warm fuzzy feelings about the security of the system.

The you-cant-trust-computers-and-there-are-no-banks future (probably fiction, possibly not) that I was preparing for... it's not coming as soon as I thought at the time. I still might pick this back up and propose it for use in math classrooms and such, but I haven't been giving it much energy lately.

Soon after I moved into this place in 2015, I received a flyer from a "restaurant" and all my neighbors got the same one. This flyer was a high-quality glossy print with menu from an ostensibly Chinese delivery joint. It was notable in having no physical address, no website, no delivery area delineated. When I called the number, it was some sort of mailbox-full or disconnected from a mobile carrier. It was totally hinky, so I call the cops and they're like, "we can't do anything about this if there's no victim" so I guess unless they were stealing my credit card, there was nothing to be done. I suspect that it was an early "ghost kitchen" sort of situation.

Later I received more flyers from a joint with a different name, but the same style of flyer and all. I look them up online and they have an address that's supposedly right across the street, but no legit business exists there, just a vacancy. They're on Facebook too with a similarly faked address. I grumble and figure there's nothing to be done.

Later, I found a whole passel of these ghost kitchens had coalesced in an industrial-zoned district nearby. Apparently there's a building named "Food Court" that houses them all, and they all advertise through GrubHub and DoorDash, etc. Once, I accidentally ordered from one of them, and they indeed sent me a passable Thai larb. I was kinda shocked, and they inserted a coupon for a competing food delivery service, which I informed GH about.

These days I just try to be careful and spot the ghost kitchens while ordering. I really only order from legit chains or local places with a real reputation for having a real location, real food, and real employees. Usually someplace I've physically traveled to, sat down and ate food there. YMMV.

But if you are perceived as an asshole to the rest of the team, it can be a problem as these team members may have contacts, even friends, in the companies you may apply to.
