Even such an insane design can be made passable, by making the file in-practice-a-queue if you squint.

Remove old entries, keep a large margin of old entries.
Append new records to the file. Use a counter. (Make it 64 bit if you are paranoid.)

On the "receiver" end, keep track of what you last saw. Could be as simple as keeping track of the counter.

Add only records you never saw before.

Process new records.

There are of course nowadays so many better ways, but "real" and stable systems have been built with such duct tape.

Yes. Mind share is important.
Does VMWare have the best product or are they so popular because "that's what I know"?

As smaller shops switch away (the Proxmox folks must be in a pretty good mood), the job market will be full of people who know the alternatives, but not VMWare products. And when "the real thing" is so incredibly expensive, why not switch to something comparable that your people already know?
This is just the Shirky principle on steroids.

I'm the type to sometimes feel overwhelmed by the bad things going on, but it's telling that Gattaca, in a terrible future, tells a hopeful story that despite the depths of a dark future you can still claim some victories.

Plex will only stream through their servers if there is not a direct connection to your server. You need port 32400 open on your network.

It's not unclearly specified. It's very tight.

People who get it wrong are usually projecting some implied understanding onto it, which is why they get it wrong.

Which is the point of the problem. It's designed to reveal this tendency in analytical thinking leading to unexpected outcomes. You get it wrong, you're gobsmacked, you understand why, you gain some enlightenment from it. It's fun to be wrong in ways you later understand. (This is one of the thrills of programming: that moment during debugging when you shriek with joy: "YES, IT BROKE!")

The fact that it also exposes the way some overly confident people lash out with anger that exposes other biases is the point of the article, I think.
This is what happens when you remove all accountability from the market.

Boeing used to be accountable to its competitors; now it's the last remaining American manufacturer of airliners. The c-suite often has little accountability to the board. The government treats them with kid gloves because of item #1; who else would the USAF order tankers, AWACS and other logistical aircraft from?

Ya honestly that’s a great question. I think more public awareness would be helpful and pressure on state representatives. But honestly you see where it can go badly wrong in Austin TX. A majority (as far as I’m aware) are against the DoT highway expansion and have proposed alternative plans for light rail… but the DoT has over ridden this majority and gone ahead with the highway expansion anyway.

Maybe if the engineers that work on these projects are skilled in planning rail projects too… there’d be less myopic focus on roads. Just a thought.
Thanks for the paywall bypass!
Since the announcement I migrated to 2FAS and it's OK (I don't quite like the mobile UI as much but whatever).

The only thing I miss is cloud storage in a dedicated service, aka not Google Drive or any of the services I already use TOTP for, because otherwise I have a circular dependency issue, connecting to Google requires 2FAS, restoring 2FAS requires connecting to Google. Is there any alternative that provide a more "Authy like" experience?
> Last year, I was flying from Seattle to New York, and I purposely scheduled myself on a non-MAX airplane. I went to the gate. I walked in, sat down and looked straight ahead, and lo and behold, there was a 737-8/737-9 safety card. So I got up and I walked off. The flight attendant didn’t want me to get off the plane. And I’m not trying to cause a scene. I just want to get off this plane, and I just don’t think it’s safe. I said I purposely scheduled myself not to fly [on a MAX].

For me, this is the biggest issue. Even if I put in the effort and choose to avoid a specific plane, they will possibly just schedule the exact plane I don't want, AND try to keep me on the plane when I find out.

If they're going to keep this plane in the air (they shouldn't at this point), they need to be required to flash a big warning to ticket holders.

Feature flags are one of those beautiful systems that are just expressive enough to be shoehorned into doing everything. Beta rollouts? Role-based auth? Billing entitelments? One-off customer requests? Yes. They can all be feature flags. The very best feature flags can optionally have a value attached to them. Then your API plan limits can just be feature flags.

Now... is that the best way? Probably not, for any one of those use cases. But once you've built it, it is very tempting to use them for everything.
There is a sort of nihilism that emerges when you look deeper at counterculture and it's conformity. Neo recognizing with horror the other neos is a great example. (In that case it only worked out for him because of hollywood's love of love - because he loved trinity so much he was really different from the rest.)

I've often wondered how the leaders of the hippie, punk, and more modern movements would compare to classical and romantic leaders of counterculture, like Thoreau or Voltaire, or even music like Chopin or Palestrina. We do have writers today like David Graeber that do seem against the grain. I suppose a major difference is that infuential people back then didn't seem as concerned with being famous and viral (which makes them more punk than punk), and there were less people that tried to follow them. On the other hand, when you look closer, maybe the difference can be explained by how media and money flows today.

At the extremes, it can seem like the only 'genuine' counterculture is self-sacrificing civil disobedience (e.g. self-immolation, not blocking traffic) or truly destructive (terrorism), because these are not scalable within mainstream culture. There should be a middle ground, but somehow I'm having trouble recognizing it. Perhaps this is because having a sustainable counterculture requires tacitly playing within the rules of the mainstream culture.
Between layoffs and unprofitably, they’re likely trying to roll off any non revenue producing work or costs as fast as possible.

Passkeys are also seeing fairly rapid uptake, negating the need for TOTP (and eventually SMS OTP). Also doesn’t bode well for their revenue depending on how much of Twilio volume are these messages (although I'd expect marketing and political SMS to be more material).
This guide looks exhausting.

> I feel the same. The entire planet enacted a total reorganization of society in a matter of weeks!

I'm not sure what this refers to but it's not COVID response. At least where I live (the USA), outside of the major metro areas, nothing was enforced except school closures. The Stay At Home "mandates" (more like suggestions) and business "closures" were all pretty much unenforced and widely ignored. Even if our government, by some miracle, manages to enact effective climate rules and legislation, it will be ignored if not enforced. You can't just write a law or set a mandate and then say "Well, our job is done!"
Yes indeed. I and others surely see from this comment that you're a fully mature thinker.

Alon Levy definitely knows about the history of the IRT, the BMT, and the IND, so the interview getting that wrong is definitely odd. Although from the way it's worded, it's possible that it's just the interviewer doing an incorrect transcription, since Alon clearly refers to "the privates" (plural).
Or a DA that doesn't prosecute "low level" crimes. No point in making an arrest if all you are doing is giving the a ride across town.
Maybe? But I will still have my media and will see what is the best alternative if that happens. Maybe my WD NAS software will also go to seed and I will have to roll my own NAS. But what do I gain by giving up on the best experience now out of fear that this experience might degrade later? It's not like watching movies takes a huge learning curve. In the meantime, there are some incentives for Emby to keep their users happy and recommending their stuff, like I just did. If they don't, it's their loss.

Plex certainly doesn't have ads for your local content. It does provide its own streaming service, and Plex has gotten much more aggressive with features like that, but you can pretty easily disable all of it via the UI.

Plex today feels like Plex in 2015 if you spend a few minutes tweaking. I agree the situation is not great, but it seems that this happens with most software owned by a for-profit company.
Metabase is great. It truly is a BI tool. Superset is more of a visualization platform, which works great if you have engineers building reports. Less good if you expect more junior analysts to be super productive.

Bizarre to me that there is no way to export your existing account information. For anyone else looking to export TOTP tokens from Authy... since it is an Electron app, this user created a nice script:

Of course, you want SNMP monitors get you and email as an alert, you have to setup auth DNS with xyz.local and use it in air-gapped environments for your alert mails. Hard drive failure?, RX/TX errors on a switch port? fire up mail over SMTP with an SNMP agent, etc. the list goes on and on.

Ask HN: Any tips to improve word recall?
I'm not sure how normal this is, but I think almost exclusively in abstract representations of concepts in my head and rarely ever use words.

This means while I often feel I have a good understanding of something and everything makes sense in my mind when I go to explain something I then realise I don't know what things are called or how to describe what's in my head.

The issue is mainly in the recall of words when I'm trying to communicate since this is when it becomes a noticeable problem – but I suppose I may not store words to begin with. I tend to try to understanding things by visualising them because I struggle to conceptualising from a verbal description of something. An example here would be that I rarely ever read developer docs and instead just read an overview then pull the code and work out how to use it.

This holds me back significantly in my career. I find I'm extremely capable, but unable to demonstrate that capability verbally. Given that people can only base their opinions of your abilities from your ability to demonstrate them it means people often underestimate me professionally.

My dad's side of the family all struggle with this. They also find it very hard to explain things and their sentences are filled with a lot of "ums" while they're thinking about how to describe what's in their head in words.

Any advice would be amazing, especially if you've had success with this yourself. Not sure it's relevant but I am autistic. However, I suspect I have some kind of speech issue in addition to this because not all autistic people have issues speaking, and some have brilliant vocabularies.

I'd say you're right here that private prisons are an example of a "bad actor" causing a major problem, and I'd even go as far as supporting abolishing private prisons (though some crime would still likely exist regardless)

But it still isn't clear that the other major problems mentioned (world hunger, economic instability, environmental damage, chronic disease, war) can be eliminated purely by eliminating bad actors
To extend the thought experiment further, imagine if, in the co-op scenario, a survey was run to collect information about whether employees still wanted the company to buy local fish...and then the employees who didn't were slowly whittled down to a minority through selective firings.

The tendency for the most ruthless in leadership to "take the wheel" by excising any from the organization who aren't on board with increased ruthlessness is a common one (see the current GOP in the US, various stories of Soviet leadership, and common trends in executive-turnover-immediately-preceding-layoffs).
Likely they know perfectly well that junior hockey players, farmers, and all sorts of folks have been hanging out in the country in groups of 10-20 young men for decades drinking, partying and vandalizing things.

But thats just conjecture.
Am I just weird that I don't trust their "recovery process"? My own process has always included having it installed on all my computers in case one of my devices goes missing or is destroyed.

Getting rid of Desktop seems like it's going to increase the amount of recovery processes because of phones getting lost, destroyed, stolen, etc for no real gain beyond not having to support it anymore.

Or am I just expected to have a spare phone that I install Authy on and leave in a drawer? My accounts are too valuable and critical to be locked out of them for 48+ hours or forever. I have security keys on everything that supports them but seems very short-sighted to leave this big of a gap in their ecosystem with no planned replacement.

The problem is not heating or cooling for humans, we have technology for that (and solar power to provide power for it).

The problem is growing the crops to feed these people, which is getting harder and harder every year due to the combination of Western donations out-competing local farms and especially the rise of desertification - in 2012, it was estimated that two thirds of the land area of the entirety of Africa that's still viable for farming would be gone by 2030 [1].

> How does an eSIM work? Does it require any special hardware (beside the cellular radio, of course) on the phone or is it a purely software thing?

I am not an expert, but I believe eSIM-support is essentially a feature of the modem + the OS of the device.

The eSIM itself is basically just a blob of data that serves the same function as a SIM card WRT identifying/authenticating a phone on a network.

> I would assume not, but this FAQ feels weird

Agreed, being completely pedantic, that really isn't quite accurate. The "eSIM" construct is completely manageable through software.

Both iOS and Android allow adding/removing/disabling/enabling eSIMs once they are provisioned to the device through a carrier.

It drives me batty.

Consider a team of people building a house. They have all sorts of things that need focus and work - planning the build, assembling resources, coordinating specialists and doing the actual construction.

Now, add a second team who don't understand anything about what the first team is doing, who the first team have to talk to every time they want to buy a pencil or screw.

How it is that anyone thinks this is a good way to do business is completely beyond me, and yet we have entire schools devoted to training people to do this.
This. And in many cases, it was not just a supplement to their streaming catalogue. A family friend lives in Alaska and has a very low data cap and relied on Netflix's DVD service, and obviously can't be use Netflix anymore. I get cases like this are a very very low percentage of their userbase, but still unfortunate for so many to lose access to an easy media solution that never cost Netflix much to begin with
I can only comment from my sort of involvement in 80s SoCal punks - most folks were not "political punks" and rejected all authority whether left or right (listen to California Uber Alles), and the clothing and music aesthetics were totally unconventional and abrasive.

Even then there was some internal-ish pressure to align the punks with leftist ideology, but most could really care less and wanted to drop out of society, not "fix it", etc.

Things started changing once the styles and sound started influencing mainstream, and it was no longer seen so outlandish. And it's hard to live outside culture esp if drugs are involved. (Though respect to the Straight Edge movement[0])

If there was a "new" punk-like movement today, it'd need to be "exclusive" in that normies would not want to show up to your gigs or parties, due to aesthetics or beliefs. I think you'd need that feeling of making a choice to drop out of society, so you'd need something really different, almost like Amish punks, ha.
