Russia 90-2000. Few common spots to find electronic components were:

1) dumpsters - literally, after school we went on a hunt for thrown away TVs and other stuff. Especailly near factories. We knew some common spots to loot and visited them periodically. Many of those logic/gates/counters ICs I had came from one junkyard near the industrial zone - they used to "respawn" in a form of pcbs from old mainframes or something like that (pcbs were varnished and removeing ics was huge pain in a butt)

2) TV repair shops. They usually had some stuff they don't need and with enough persistence (aka soft skills) we as kids were able to get some goodies, along with books and advice.

3) Absolute treasure - someone working at a factory that is miraculously not closed yet - getting aka stealing stuff for them was easy. Stealing stuff from school and other places we could gain access to was also a thing - they often had a lot of old crap sitting in basement, like record players, amplifiers.

4) Radio markets and shops. These were often out of reach for kids especially in that period, but sometimes we were able to save enough money for something that can be purchased but not found elsewhere. The choice was also very limitted, but I found few ex-engineers selling a lot of goodies stolen during their employment - selling these was ofter the only way to survive, but again with enough "soft skills" we were able to "loot" them for free.

5) In soviet era there were a lot of clubs for kids/teenagers, even in small towns you could find a club with teacher where everyone can come and learn how to build some electronic stuff. Those usually had access to element base. During 90s most of them have closed, those who survived were barely afloat in this new world. I personally never had a good experience with those, but know that someone did, so getting goodies there was also a possibility.
I cannot understand how a dev can pay for this :)
I always feel like there's a whole rule-book of "how to Do Life" that I didn't get, for this easing-into-the-upper-middle-class and/or doing-serious-business-stuff shit, that other people just know, because of who their families are and who they grew up hanging out with.

I gather the version of that I did get was the middle-class version—which some others didn't get and have a similar "wait, that's just normal?" reaction as I do to the upper-middle stuff. Like 90% of that's basically credit-related—how credit cards work and how to use them, how to build credit, how to buy a house (generally with a mortgage, so, still basically a credit-related thing), that kind of stuff.

I've noticed similar things when it comes to paying others to do stuff for me. Having a house cleaner come in for the first time was fucking weird. Still is, really. I can't relax, feel like I ought to be helping. Or paying someone to do work on my house that I could do—tiling, drywalling, some light electrical, plumbing, most general home-improvement stuff. It feels gross—I don't think it does for those who grew up with that stuff being normal. I suspect it's a barrier to advancing in business, because those attitudes carry over. Delegation is weird to me. Being someone's boss is horribly uncomfortable. The notion of starting a business and hiring employees to take over stuff I've been doing feels icky and wrong, and no amount of one part of my brain telling another part to knock it off makes that go away.

I wouldn't say saying "If I knew ... was going to piss you off so much, I wouldn't have done that." is very mature.
The only time I've ever needed a lawyer was for a small side business I had at the time. One of our customers had an unpaid invoice that was past 90 days, and they were not responding to phone calls. Happily, my business partner's brother was a lawyer and she asked him to send out a dunning letter. We had the money within days :-)

I mean, how do you know that?

How do you know that the goal isn't actually to perform social engineering on a huge scale and that the advertising is just the way that goal is being funded?

This seems like a pretty important finding, entymology's version of cracking Fermat's Last Theorem. I wonder if there's a Nobel category for entymology.
But software correctness is orthogonal to static typing. You most def should not have the confidence that your software is correct (ie solves the practical problem you are trying to solve) just because it compiles.

Big Tech does not like independent protocol operation it seems; therefore your interesting technical advance is likely to be a pawn in other, larger changes to the social contracts on the open net IMHO
Absolutely agreed. The main problem with that is providing new features that xterm doesn't support, but terminfo pretty much refuses to add new features anyway, so modern terminals have had to work around that with some combination of autodetection, separate environment variables, or YOLO approaches. So, at this point, I'm not sure it's worth supporting terminfo at all for most applications, either as a terminal emulator or as a CLI program. (The article makes a similar point about the negative value terminfo is providing for modern applications.)

If you're building a program that takes over the terminal screen, you probably should use one of the established libraries that abstracts over terminfo and over old non-ANSI Windows consoles. But if you're doing light terminal handling in an application that doesn't take over the screen, such as emitting colors or doing simple cursor control, forget about terminfo and just handle two or three cases: ANSI, optionally old pre-ANSI Windows consoles, and files/terminals with no support for anything. Rounding ancient terminals or terminal emulators to "no support" and giving them the same thing you'd give a redirection to a file seems entirely reasonable for a new program.
I'd like to see more brilliant minds from tech explore other industries, especially the trades. It is incredibly difficult to find competent and trustworthy tradespeople at a reasonable price today. There is so much that a former SWE could bring to the table that doesn't necessarily mean being the tradesperson themselves (though that would be great). The trades desperately need manpower on all fronts.
My attorney charges me about $200/hr. Most things I talk to him about require less than an hour of billable time.

Show HN: Rate limiting, caching and request prioritization for AI apps
Generative AI applications pose a unique challenge in production. They are computationally intensive and orders of magnitude slower than traditional data-intensive applications. Scaling these applications is further complicated by expensive hardware requirements and GPU shortages. Consequently, developers are scrambling to implement home-grown caching and rate-limiting solutions, which are error-prone and difficult to get right.

FluxNinja Aperture delivers a production-grade experience with a purpose-built load management platform that provides rate & concurrency limiting, caching, and request prioritization for generative AI applications. Developers can wrap their workloads with Aperture SDKs and define load management policies on business attributes such as user tier, request type, priority, etc.

Features:

- Global Rate Limiting: Prevent abuse by filtering traffic based on user, service, and tier levels, among other granular options.

- Request Prioritization: Boost application performance by prioritizing critical requests while queueing less urgent ones.

- Serverless Caching: Reduce costs and alleviate system load by caching frequently requested data.

- Manage External Limits: Manage API rate limits from third parties (OpenAI, GitHub, Shopify, etc.) with client-side rate limits and prioritization.

SDKs are available in Typescript, Python, Go, etc. The solution also integrates with API gateways and service meshes with an in-cluster deployment option.

We'd love to hear your feedback!

Yeah, I was trying to be funny.

But it’s still interesting to me that this thread is filled with users talking about their techniques for forcing a GC while they’re getting coffee or switching tabs.

The fact that in 2024 we’re talking about users (expert users, to be fair) changing setting in their apps to optimize GC pauses makes me think something has gone wrong somewhere.

But maybe I’m just being mean because I mostly use C++.

Goes to show that it’s trade-offs all the way down.
I'm sorry about your Christmas, but that seems like a poor reason to never give the benefit of the doubt going forwards. Situations are situational.
This is going to sound mean, but do you actually know any farmers?

At least in my area, they aren't exactly known to be geniuses. The ones that have built up their business by buying out other farms and have tons of acres and employees? Sure. The usual "inherited the family farm" type? Not so much.

They have two small periods during the year where they're up before sunrise and stop working after sundown, assuming they live in an area with one harvest. Overall they work a hell of a lot less than most of us, and have more money. I have a friend that owns a business where he sells side-by-sides, four wheelers, snowmobiles, etc. The amount that many spend by buying all the newest toys every year is incredible.

The downside, of course, is that you need to be born in to it. A tiny 100 acre farm's land is worth north of 1 million dollars, not to mention a ton of other startup costs. Land isn't for sale very often, as usually at least one child wants to take it up. I don't even know how you'd approach starting from scratch unless you were already rich.

Note: I'm referring to crop farmers. Animals are hard work and I don't understand why any small time farmer still does it.
Tractors don't rely on _just_ GPS for planting, etc. They augment with some other technologies to get the necessary accuracy (a few cm of accuracy) for positioning.
Guile itself is cool. Its documentation, however, sucks. It's really quite terrible. The manual is a haphazard mix of several reference documents, a half-hearted tutorial, and whole lot of jargon that's not explained.

It seems there was a period where Guile was considered a serious contender for the space now occupied by Python. My impression is that GNU lost mindshare and the opportunity because the Guile documentation takes a simple, elegant language and makes it inaccessible for newcomers. Python was known for being well-documented and easy to approach.

I'm curious what other's take on the history is.
Poverty of imagination is more or less how I'd characterize most of modern life.
Desert sand is too smooth and fine for most industrial applications. Most concrete, for example, uses sand and rocks from rivers.
If you make your own yogurt just save the whey and use that with lots of salt to brine the chicken, it comes out awesome and it's basically free because the whey is a byproduct of making your own (much cheaper and much more delicious) yogurt from homo milk.

There was an interesting thread on a legal blog (which I can’t find at the moment), but essentially the thread related to US and state regulations over the years creating complicity in any “wrongdoing”. For example in California the CARB was/is setting standards and regulations based on their own analysis and science, and for the state to then turn around and proclaim the oil industry as evil seemed to be political posturing more than anything.
I had a really weird observation. Do you know how in the summer flies tend to enter rooms and circle the middle of it (where usually the turned off light fixture is)? And they seemingly can't or don't want to find open window to leave the room?

At one point for unrelated reasons I replaced light fixture in my room with more than 200W worth of strongest E27 Philips LED lightbulbs I could find (20*1521lumen).

Few flies gathered in the middle of the room as usual during the summer day. Then I turned on this light just out of curiosity. The flies dispersed within seconds, suddenly perfectly capable of not flying in circles. I don't think it was the heat or the discomfortably bright light just scaring them off. Even this amount wasn't as bright as sunny day. I think more light and more distributed light (not just comming from the direction of the window) fixed their navigational abilities somehow.
Do you have any links detailing these kinds of boiler rooms?
MSS (maximum segment size) is the term at the TCP layer. Each end of a connection can (and usually does) declare its MSS in a TCP option in the first packet it sends.

Advertised MSS, interface MTU, and route MTU can all constrain packet sizing.

Using large-MTU routes for internal destinations can work well.
Shouldn't an ECC non-correctable error trigger an immediate shutdown, because bad data could be committed to disk? (I guess unsafe shutdown could cause corruption elsewhere, but that seems like a reasonable risk) If attacks are a serious threat, then it would seem any alert that doesn't trigger immediate action would be risky (i.e. the attacker just erases alerts from logs).
I've been simplifying my diet (getting older foods I have long eaten are now giving me problems, I just cannot find exactly which ones.) I've been eating one single type of food at a time, and I've discovered I can taste foods I had eaten over eight to twelve hours ago. Distinctively, not as a memory.
Interesting topic and article. I agree with the author, that it's useful to read this information and keep it in the back of your head in case you ever need it, before you actually find yourself in a stressful situation like this.

But one thing I don't understand every time there's a C&D story is why leave a paper trail to send the C&D to in the first place if doing something in a gray area? If I was creating some piece of software that is designed to give the middle finger to the man or facebook or whoever and/or benefit the public, I would just release the source anonymously on some random forum and it can't be stopped. Why create an official github repo with your real email and everything just to take credit?

To clarify, I mean cases like youtube vanced or the recent valve/nintendo portal mod issue, where its obvious some company might not like it, but I don't see why the projects couldn't have continued anyway if the authors didn't expose themselves to litigation. Or am I being naive about this?
> China with directly or indirectly nationalise Evergrande. Most bondholders (especially foreigners) will be wiped out. Most of the unfinished buildings will be completed in 2-5 years.

I'm willing to take that bet!

My prediction, a bit different, not that much.

1) nationalized. Yes

2) foreigners will be wiped out. Yes.

3) Huge backlash and more foreign money will leave China

4) China will backtrack a bit to appease ( a bit, but not enough)

5) Most buildings won't be completed. China doesn't have the funds anymore to build property like x years ago. The elite already took out their money. Civilians lost their "investment" and won't buy real estate like they did in the past.

6) Property declines further. Others like Evergrande will fall.

7) property becomes "cheap" ( relatively)

8) population declines

9) property becomes even cheaper

... Etc

The thing I consider differently and shapes my narrative, is that it seems that China made a huge construction bet on population growth. And it seems that bet was wrong.

So they don't want to finish those buildings, since it would drive prices down quicker.

---
A lot of buildings were already abandoned and were never going to be build.

There's an elite group that can borrow money in China and they don't need much collateral for it. So they construct 25%, cash in and are gone. Perhaps this practice isn't common for Evergrande though.

But those buildings were abandoned because no one was willing to put in the 75% required to complete it ( which is a similar story, not the same though)

Source of this practice: a friend had to setup one of his client's division in China for a couple of weeks a couple of years ago.

The foundation for healthy interpersonal relationships seems deeply tied into the core values of (some) "restrictive religious ways". "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." I would posit that the closer people walk to those ideals, the healthier their society will be.

That said, Christians, in general, would agree with you that law by its very nature has no power to bring about good in people. That's pretty much one of the core tenets. In the end, laws serve only like the double yellow line in the middle of American highways. It's a guide that helps us share the road without hurting others.

The guard rails of commitment, love and genuine care for others brings about an environment where relationships can flourish. They provide stability and care that children need to thrive emotionally. They keep us from swerving into relational "oncoming traffic" when we get frustrated or angry, instead encouraging us to stay in the lane and figure out how to work together.
A large number of people believe it impolite to correct someone's language. I've seen it even called "colonial" to correct written grammar, that we should just let language evolve naturally and not try to enforce rules on others. I am not of that mindset.

>Their latest funding was raised on Sep 14, 2020 from a Post-IPO Debt round.

I would not even count that since "getting wave after wave of cash from investors" usually means receiving cash in exchange for equity, not borrowing money.

It seems the most recent cash they received from investors was at IPO in May 2019, and before that, Softbank in Jan 2018:

You do know you're just parroting RTO thought leadership propaganda, right? The phrasing of structuring your work "in time and space" is rather unique and comes most recently from business thinkfluencers trying sell RTO as "new paradigm at the workplace."

The real point underpinning the CEO ball fondling is strategies for creating structure for people that need it originally assembled for students working async and remote. Moving between spaces can create structure, putting on a "uniform" creates structure, having blocks of time planned out ahead creates structure, having small incremental goals creates structure, having blocks of work with regular check-ins (cards/standup) creates structure. Like it's just your standard ADHD time/focus management but pretending that these two specific things are best for everyone.
Right? Even if you don't like Apple, a perfectly valid viewpoint, the Vision Pro is a huge deal. It should be on the homepage.

As someone with a similar working background, I agree, in fact, I wanted to share this same exact sentiment. The software is shit, and everyone knows it how it's shit, and the reason is that the incentive is not there to make it not-shit. The main users, and the people who they record, are not the main concern in these systems. That is why everyone feels bad while using the software. It's not about them, it's not for them. It's not even against them - it just doesn't care. And this really radiates from the UX.
That's maybe an argument that they didn't make an uncommonly egregious mistake, but that many cars are defective hardly means none of them are.
