Another possibility, maybe easier or more sustainable, would be to hire the employees who built the harnesses and interconnects for the car’s entertainment computer. Tell them to build a drop in Raspberry Pi-powered replacement with a custom, basic firmware that only does CarPlay or Android Auto, and call it a day.

Or maybe the result is a Frankenstein creation where the original controller takes care of the driver’s dashboard display, but the entertainment display is Pi-driven.

> Ctrl+W or middle click on tab isn't that far off
The point of shift x3 is that it's consistent across keyboard layouts including laptops. I have a laptop where the location of the ctrl key is moved inward to make room for the function key. I frequently hit Fn instead of Ctrl and don't realize what's happening until I look at my keyboard. And that's not when I'm in distress.
Same goes for middle click. It's not a consistent interaction. On some laptops you can left click and right click to get a middle click. On my laptop, it's a three finger tap.

> Never mind that computers and internet access is ubiquitous enough these days that "using the family computer" for this sort of thing isn't really needed in the first place.
In a normal situation, this is true, but this is UI design for people in extraordinary situations. Their abuser may have taken their cellphone or other devices and may not have a choice in what computer they use or when they have access to it.

Nothing about this prevents private windows or Ctrl+W (assuming they have another window open so it doesn't look suspicious that they're staring at a blank desktop), it just gives victims a quick action they can take to prevent immediate retaliation.

I agree that Go is not an improvement over C#. In my experience the language ergonomics of C# are better than Go. I've done both in industry and am much more productive with C#. It is too bad that C# and .NET are often perceived as bad because of Microsoft & Windows. .NET core has a lot of really things going on.

Not that Go is a bad language. It has its place. I recommend it for embedded systems and as an option for systems programming.

Not a lot of their profits. A minuscule fraction of their profits, and far less than OSS has given value to them. And the value from contributing back to open source is generally pretty high by itself because you get a lot of review and maintenance from the community on the features and code you want for your proprietary business, so it's not like they are doing a lot of it out of pure altruism.

OSS would be fine without Google, it was great before Google ever existed. There are intrinsic motivations to contribute, which is why thousands of companies do.

it's easy to be altruistic when you can see others as different and not a threat or competition, when their success does not come at a cost to yours. the blunted emotional engagement of many savants may have protected them from internalizing attempts to discourage them and given them the extra focus to learn things. most of what we call intelligence is the downstream effect of attitude to learning imo.

personally I find malice too stupid to take personally, but am not smart enough to orchestrate deceptions the way I've seen smarter and more successful people operate. just comfortably mid. also, intelligence above a certain level, like wealth, is best kept a secret. it is often observed that mine is hidden quite cunningly.

This raises an interesting question: should email addresses be private? Addresses of buildings aren't private, and they're somewhat analogous as with many computing concepts. (Aside: Before spam filters were quite good, it was typical to avoid scraping of addresses by mild obfuscation, but I think those days are gone, and this is distinct from privacy anyway.)

If someone wants to upload and never be found out, then they need to use a throwaway address in any case, lest they be providing their "private" address to the administrators of the service without explicitly forbidding further disclosure. If I say something to Alice without demanding that Alice keep it from Bob, then I implicitly don't mind if Alice tells Bob what I said.

You are right! I'll post there and delete the above. Thanks for pointing that out!
I did a quick investigation into the three papers linked in the article.

In the first, the correlation is between either spouse having donated “$500 or more to a religious or other non-profit” so it potentially loses a lot of smaller donors, but the biggest issue is their definition of a measure of cognitive ability is probably not what you think:

> cognitive ability was measured in a variety of ways (Ofstedal et al., 2001). These measurements included immediate word recall, delayed word recall, serial 7’s, recog- nition tasks, backwards counting tasks, and a 35-point scale combining each of the previous elements.

None of those are what I would consider difficult (serial 7s is starting at 100 and subtracting 7 over and over). It is entirely possible that given the methodology (survey) that what they are actually measuring is altruism (effort put into helping the surveyor) and that there is also some selection bias because someone who was intelligent but not giving probably would decline/avoid the survey in the first place.

In the second, the hypothesis is that altruism is a “costly signal” of intelligence and the study was done in a hunter-gatherer community where members were providing food for a feast.

The third link sends the reader to a tweet that cites these two and two additional studies, but the further two are studies linking general intelligence to negotiation ability, which seems at best indirectly related to being generous and kind to me.

If there is a potential truth here, I think it might be that being more intelligent could be linked with a greater understanding of the benefits of altruism and a tendency to behave that way, or that being altruistic leads to higher intelligence through vicarious learning, but neither of these hypotheses are being evaluated in these papers.
Is this what you're referring to?

My data has been sold, yes. By me, no, because I don't have the means. But by others and especially by nefarious actors, absolutely.

This article is confused, or at best unclear, about how AQM works:

"CAKE then added Active Queue Management (AQM), which performs the same kind of bandwidth probing that vanilla TCP does but adds in-band congestion signaling to detect congestion as soon as possible. The transmission rate is slowly raised until a congestion signal is received,[...]"

This appears to suggest that Cake (an in-network AQM process) takes over some of the functionality of TCP (implemented in the endpoints). What's actually happening is that the AQM provides a better signal to allow TCP to do a better job.

The rest of the article is more it less accurate, albeit that it's marketing for one particular tool rather than giving you the level of understanding needed to choose one.

The dig at PIE (another AQM) is also a bit misleading, in that their main complaint is not PIE itself but the lack of all these other features they think necessary. If Cake used PIE instead of CODEL I don't think it would be noticeably different.
Nice link! But the point was to showcase the cool design of the homepage :)
I'm always skeptical of anything that tries to measure intelligence objectively, as the study of IQ is mired in eugenics and racism. I could see, however, that this behavior can be an indicator of high emotional intelligence and social awareness.
As someone who jumps between Go, Rust and Scala - Go is by far the worst.

Antiquated and verbose error handling model. The reliance on code generation because of the lack of a decent type system. The fact you have to carefully read through every function because it's not immutable by default, has pointer arguments and no functional operations e.g. filter.

It's a language that belongs back in the 1990s.

This fits my experience too. I've been able to crush elixir apps pretty easily, cowboy and phoenix.

I actually think Elixir really doesn't have great performance. TechEmpower, which is IMO the most real world standardized tests out there shows that Phoenix doesn't even complete. And Elixir+Plug+Ecto performs worse than Rails, which is an entire framework.

Everyone in Elixir land tells me "Oh those benchmarks don't matter". Yet they are heavily talked about, and referred to here and other places. They only don't matter if you perform terribly on them I suppose.

And they say "Oh we didn't care to put much effort into it", Yet Jose Valim himself tried to work on it and didn't fix it. He's written extensively about how this type of test doesn't really fit elixir, etc, but ultimately it's just doing DB queries, why does this not work?

I really think Elixir is mostly propaganda at this point. It's a huge mental paradigm shift and I have seen myself that it wasn't performant, and as you said you keep thinking "Oh I must be doing it wrong".

I just cannot fathom why anyone in a decent sized company would use with all the negatives it has going for it. YMMV

> Are you doing a lot of non-io processing or computations?

Unfortunately.

From metrics, computing AWS signatures takes up an absurdly large amount of CPU time. The actual processing of events is quite minimal and honestly well-architected, a lot of stuff is loaded into memory rather than read from disk. There's syncing that happens fairly frequently from the internet which refreshes the cache.

The big problem is each event computes a new signature to send back to the API. I do have to wonder if the AWS signature is 99% of the problem and once I take that burden off, the entire system will roar to life. That's what makes me so confused because I had heard Erlang / Elixir could do on the scale of significantly more per minute even with pretty puny hardware.

One thing I am working on is batching then I am considering dropping the AWS signatures in favor of short-lived tokens since either way, it's game over if someone gets onto the system anyway since they could exploit the privilege. The systems are air-gapped anyway so the risk is minimal in my opinion.

> One possibility is you're using a single process instead of parallelizing things. For example, you may want to use one process per event, etc.

This is done by pushing it to a task ie: `Task.Supervisor.async_nolink`? That's largely where I found my gains actually.

It took a dive into how things schedule, because a big issue that was happening was the queue would get massively backed up, and I realized that I needed to apparently toggle on a flag telling it to pack the scheduler more (`+scl true`). I also looked into the wake-up lengths of threads. I am starting to get my head around "dirty schedulers" but I am not entirely sure how to affect those or how I can besides it doing it forever me.

The other one just for posterity is that I believe events get unnecessarily queued because they don't / didn't have locks. So if event A gets queued then creates a timer to re-queue it in 5 minutes, event A (c|w)ould continue to get queued despite the fact the first event A hadn't been processed yet. So the queue would just continue to compound and starve itself.
I think this must be an engineers wet dream? I'm not a SWE but over the years many engineers have told me that is their dream job.
Probably unrelated to Elixir itself but caused by doing too much/redundant work on network/disk so it needs an algo change.

I test all my web dev on the other side of a 4G modem connected to an MVNO. It forces you to be considerate of both bandwidth and latency as it's about 5-20Mbps in the city with 120ms average latency.

It's not at all impossible to design fast and responsive sites and single page applications under these constraints, you just have to be aware of them, and actively target it during the full course of development.
