Person who actually did the investigation here. It took exactly one bug report.

RAD/Epic Games Tools is a small B2B company. Oodle has one person working full-time on it, namely me, and I do coding, build/release engineering, docs, tech support, the works. There's no multiple support tiers or anything like that, all issues go straight into my inbox. Oodle Data in particular is a lossless data compression API and many customers use two entry points total, "compress" and "decompress".

I get a single-digit number of support requests in any given month, most of which is actually covered in the docs and takes me all of 5 minutes to resolve to the customer's satisfaction. The 3-4 actual bug reports I get in any given year, I will investigate.
The UN literally created Israel.
All interesting points. I think I disagree with the last part due to my original post - nobody knew how this would turn out, but those involved knew projects like this consistently attracted serious State attention.

B/t protect the protocol by trying every possible angle against this sort of “adversary” (which, here in 2024, seems to have worked), versus cutting corners, the comprehensive nature of SN’s opsec seems to imply it’d show up in a lot of small ways like lying about Linux. Analysis of the codebase also had similar findings about attention to detail (“thought of everything” sort of difficulty regarding appsec).

Overall, there’s a good write up on Len as SN worth digging into if the topic is interesting. I also think the ‘11 New Yorker piece got close to the truth.

By robot standards, $25k is not a bad. Most mobile-manipulator robots cost 5 digits or more, mostly due to the small market, high materials and engineering cost, and general headaches of robot building.
Well, that's the natural outcome of most people in the Western world having no scarcity. The US is such a rich land. It makes sense why there's so many DTC brands here since marketing is king in that world. I tried a Liquid Death the other day and it's honestly nothing special. But that company is huge!

You'll see that in most things. Growing up I used to shave with a double-edge razor just for price. Eventually I started using disposable razors and a few years ago I tried to switch back to the double-edge (for convenience, since I'd keep running out of disposable razors - too big to store lots). The community around this shit is bog shit insane, man.

Like there's a good blade and a bad blade, yes, but the whole thing has turned into a damned art. You have to buy the best horse-hair brush with the best place to put it, and the write double-edge handle. Anyway, I did use a double-edge for a while and just used foam (unlike my teen years when I had a brush - synthetic no doubt).

The same with cologne. You go on Reddit or whatever to just get some baseline stuff and it's refined to oblivion. They'll recommend something like YSL Kouros ("a classic power-fougere") but you are guaranteed to empty a restaurant walking in wearing that! Madness.
> If a share of a stock is $100 and the profit of the company is $5 for that year, then the price to earnings ratio (P/E) is 20.

It's based on market cap, not share price. Market cap is a function of share price (It's just share price * number of outstanding shares), of course, but to just say it's share price leads to misunderstandings.

Otherwise, that would imply that a stock split creates a multiplier of the P/E, ie, a company with a P/E of 20 does a 1:5 split ends up with a P/E of 100 post-split, and that's certainly not what happens.
I am not aware of the packaging of regular baling wire. You should be able to source coir twine for cheap from SEA in a packaging you want, assuming baling wire packaging is somewhat standardized. But not sure if you have the bandwidth or worth the hassle.
This is probably more rare than you think since very few fraudsters seem to know when to quit. Even after getting away with massive gains there is temptation to do it again (and now the risk seems even more justified due to past experience).

It looks to me the OP is talking about the victim. Implying that the “heinous” murder of a nun deserves a harsher sentence than the equally “heinous” murder of a drug dealer. I’m not a lawyer, but I hope the law does not make such distinctions. “The victim had it coming” doesn’t make me very symphatetic to the killer, I hope others feel the same.
Honestly just tell them that the time of the meeting sucks and propose a better one. If they don't accept start looking for a new job.

I once worked for a lovely company that was acquired by a horrid one. Their MO was to treat all the staff they acquired like shit, and give all the good jobs to their mates.

They demanded I be in their new office (which was 100 miles away) by 9am each morning, at which point they would usually send me to a client site a few miles from where I lived.

I was so sick of it I decided to resign. Somehow they got wind of this and decided to fire me for being late, but they legally had to follow a minimum process for this, so they needed a disciplinary meeting or two first.

At the meeting they asked me about the time I didn't get in until 1pm. I thought about it for a second, and said "oh, you mean the day the IRA bombed the M25 motorway?". Their faces fell, but they had another one up their sleeve. To which I responded "you mean the second time the IRA bombed it?". They really didn't have a leg to stand on, and I handed in my resignation notice at that meeting.

They then employed me as a contractor for the next 2 years on about twice my previous rate. All the other senior engineers privately contacted me about contracting and they all also left over the next year. The company eventually went bust; they also treated their customers badly, and lost several constructive dismissal lawsuits (which are quite hard to win normally).

I still take satisfaction that they got what they deserved.
This is funny to see today because I had exact same experience, but with UPS. Call came in, marked as Probable Spam. Robot voice on the line, claiming to be from UPS. Duties and taxes. I am expecting a package, so I went to the website and it was legit.
Though it won't change, because to do it right would cost them $$$. Whereas doing it wrong costs them less, and it then becomes a me problem.

No they aren't.

Judging by all these incorrect assumptions about electrical, I'd suggest stopping while you're ahead before you burn your own house down.

FTX is under heavy litigation. If there is extra cash, it will go to those claimants.
I work on a large distributed infrastructure. I always joked that my team's projects and people's careers are outage-driven: the only time we become important and people get opportunities for promotion is when where were big-enough outages that executives have to invest heavily on reliability or scalability. Other time, we are just minions who must listen to and serve feature or product teams. Nobody listen to us when we ask a product team to implement a reliability contract in their shining product.

Pre-outage improvements, reliability defense in depth, eliminated scalability bottlenecks before they are hit, are all ignored by leadership and the company: it is just human nature that even though they understand you have to prepare for possible issues, if it hasn't happen yet, you won't take it seriously. I've seen this in many internal performance reviews and promotion committees. People who haven't ever got bitten badly by an outage may call these premature optimizations.
Having experts seems like a great idea, but then I worry that it basically means having multiple lobbyists on staff, with a desk right in the senator's office.
I mean that's certainly an opinion, but I'm not sure I'd be confident hiring someone into a company that uses a tool that the candidate hates so passionately.

Also Git and Mercurial are about the same age and less than 20 years old. Perforce is far older than both of them.
This is definitely true eventually and there might be investment opportunities upstream of Nvidia to capitalize on this (TSMC and ASML come to mind).
In an ideal world, yes.

But in the real world, company valuation is an entirely subjective matter that prices in expected future growth or losses.

Whether or not the provider makes the customer pay with a credit card has no impact on if the provider requires templated SMS messages.
>That is a bit unfair, as it is intentionally not doing so.

That doesn't change my point. I am pointing out a an easy pitfall Caddy users can fall in since it is not automatically handled for them as it is with other server software, nor is it pointed out in the documentation fkr Caddy. Simple server software would avoid these pitfalls automatically for users. So while it now be simple to get https working, properly configuring the server is now more complex to get right.

An intentional pitfall doesn't mean it isn't a pitfall.

They will “demo” the product for the half hour it takes to film the review, then they will ship it back or keep it themselves and not say a word if it falls apart three weeks later. This is still a marketing world. You want work. People only give you work if they feel theres a case for a return on investment, and they’d rather work with people who are liable to review that favorably than critically.
I think the issue isn't with the methodology (disabling cache), but rather the erroneous conclusion that the React.dev website continually requests data as somehow problematic when it's a sideeffect of disabling browser cache.

Also, FWIW, OP is one of the authors of react.dev and a member of the react core team (not that it's relevant to the objection).
I'll note the parent comment:

> It was difficult because of a stereotype in my brain that cast iron == gas stoves == meat.

This suggests a diet that is more on the vegetarian side... and in that case, cast iron can be helpful as a supplement if you don't have any iron intake from meat.

Food prepared in iron cooking pots as an intervention for reducing iron deficiency anaemia in developing countries: a systematic review - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12859709/

While I'm having trouble finding it (and thus it may only be folklore) - the cast iron skillets used by early American pioneers where helpful in supplementing their diet that was otherwise low in meats.

https://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/an-introduction-to-nu... is one such mention of it:

> Unbeknownst to the American pioneers, the cookware also leaches iron, an essential mineral, into foods as they are cooked in cast-iron hardware.

> ...

> Dietary sources of iron include red meats, poultry, leafy green vegetables, prunes, raisins, egg yolks, lentils, oysters, clams, artichokes, and enriched cereal grains. While there are many food sources of iron, only a small fraction of dietary iron is absorbed. One method of increasing dietary intake of iron is cooking foods in an iron skillet. Acidic foods high in moisture content, such as tomatoes, absorb more iron during cooking than nonacidic foods. For example, cooking spaghetti sauce in iron cookware can increase the iron content ten-fold. How much iron leaches into food is also dependent on cooking times; the longer food is in the pan the more iron is absorbed into the food. Stirring food more often increases contact time and thus more iron is absorbed from the cookware. The utility of iron cookware in increasing dietary intake of iron has prompted some international public health organizations to distribute iron cookware to high-risk populations in developing countries as a strategy to reduce the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia worldwide.

---

So yes, too much dietary iron is a problem. Iron deficiency is also problem and for people with a vegetarian, vegan, and women of childbearing age, additional iron may be a good thing.

Thank you for saying it so clearly.

I used to love reading a few subreddits where I would get tips and advice on doing things that I love doing, like /r/snowboarding /r/photography /r/overlanding /r/vandwellers /r/cycling

and all of them have devolved into exactly what you describe. Endless discussion about purchasing new & expensive equipment to do said thing. Extremely minimal discussion about actually doing said thing.
I would love a better understanding of modern scams and crime in general.

Like what does "money laundering" look like on the ground, how would I know if someone around me was trying to do that?

I've had some random Amazon items show up addressed to me, but I didn't order them, and I think that was part of a scam, but I never fully got my head around how it works.

I hear about various "work from home" jobs actually being scams, but what's going on there? Not just scamming the workers out of their personal money, I mean, like using the workers as the arms and legs of a larger criminal enterprise. What's that all about?

I would watch a show on this, if it had better-than-mythbusters quality of explanations, think more like Connections or Newton's apple.
I recently had to RMA my i9-13900KS because it was faulty. I was experiencing some of the weirdest behavior I have ever seen on a PC. For example,
1. Whenever I tried to install Nvidia drivers I would get "7-zip: Data error"
2. A fresh install of Windows would give me SxS error when trying to launch edge
3. I could not open the control panel
4. BSOD loop on boot
I mean that “other coins design” part is looking at this aspect from the 2024 perspective of many blockchains many designs existing.

In 2009, calling Bitcoin the only blockchain in town doesn’t even do service to its extreme novelty at the time.

There were no other ideas on how to design, let alone any ideas on what would work long term, and there were no “open markets” for crypto haha.
My parents dog knows where she is going in the car. On the way to the beach where she goes for her runs there are 3 rumble strips on the road, she always starts getting excited as soon as the car goes over them. Even though she's probably still 6-8 miles from beach!

They also take her to a local pub that is dog friendly and she has friends there. She knows when she is going there as she starts getting excited when the car turns right at a certain roundabout. Go left or straight on, nothing, but turn right and she's right up all excited!
What they discovered is a traveling wave (like in stadiums) - the stars move "up and down" in relation to the "Milky Way gravity". They have no idea why it is happening.
No one said anything about the implementation of the function. Not understanding what rebase is and does would imply not understanding how git actually works.

For example you mentioned that you know what git pull does. Are you aware that depending on the settings it is either doing a merge or a rebase? I also suspect that is the answer the OP was angling at.
To get silk, we boil silkworms alive in their cocoons
Oh that's much more reasonable. I always thought the US laws were weird because open container is a really weird thing to do anything more than be some suspicion (I think you should need more. Like someone is acting drunk, but hard to prove). Why can't my friends drink in the car? Why can't I have a trashbag full of empty cans that I'm bringing back from a camping trip? I gotta put those in my trunk? Not all vehicles have trunks. I can bring a bottle of wine or whisky to a friends, we don't drink all of it, and I gotta hide it or wrap it in duct tape to drive it home? The point of the law is about the danger posed to you, others, and property. Just focus on that.

Yea, a disturbing amount of reviews on amazon for the lower end (still 1350/1500VA though!) UPSes contain words like "smoke" and "fire".

My own experience with UPSes didn't involve smoke or fires, but it did involve remote equipment going offline for months until I had time to make a trip out to replace the UPS with a surge protector.
Things I Used to Care About
If you don't want to consume PFAS, you'd be better served trying to limit them from food packaging. There's limited evidence that cooking with traditional nonstick cookware exposes people to PFAS. The evidence shows that discarded nonstick cookware exposes the environment to those PFAS. Which is awful! But probably not affecting you directly.

Meanwhile, food packaging is unregulated and has been shown to be a major source of PFAS. Water bottles are particularly guilty.

> As "wordsmiths," programmers often neglect reading. However, reading is an essential part of quickly improving your programming skills.

I'm always surprised to hear that most programmers dislike code reviews. I've found code reviews to be one of the most useful ways to learn new design patterns and language features. I personally believe that adopting a mindset of curiosity helps make code reviews enjoyable rather than tedious.

I don't really have a theory, just sharing my experience growing up being taught to use two spaces, then in the early 2000s consciously adjusting my writing style back to one space, then having my plaintext emails still end up with two spaces anyway.

It's interesting that a document written in a WYSIWYG word processor would have two spaces because I think what originally got me to switch to one was word processor auto corrects removing the extra space, or at least putting blue squigglies in during the grammar check.

I guess my feeling is that although this might be an indicator of authorship, it's not necessarily a smoking gun one way or the other.
As far as I know, the actual testing is done by the vendor. It might get reviewed by an MS or Apple imployee, but that isn't the same thing as actively testing the hardware themselves. Or providing software to work with third party hardware.

It's a chicken and egg problem. Hardware vendors don't worry about linux compatibility, at least for consumer/desktop products because the market share is low. But one reason lack of good hardware support hinders adoption of linux on desktop.
