I think there's a pretty big difference between a static page, which can be easily and cheaply cached, and a video streaming service, which very much cannot be.

What I'm getting at is in closed societies, power and money are different things. In open societies, money is power. Parent says government control over money incentivizes authoritarianism. I'm arguing authoritarians have no need

...I really don’t agree with that counter. Many, and probably most, governments on this earth today have divergent understandings of money and power. You can be rich in Russia, but that money can be easily rendered worthless by somebody poi

When you're talking about using a different currency, you're not replacing Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase. You're replacing the Federal Reserve, Bretton Woods, and the U.S. government. Government's grasp on what money

I use Bitwarden on Linux, macOS, and iOS. It works fine; you may need to sync by clicking a button, and I use AppImages on Linux and I think I need to manually download updated images, but otherwise it's free and open source, the prici

Very nice writeup on RPKI! I don't know anything about network engineering, but it appears that RPKI will distribute trust from ISPs to RIRs (Regional Internet Registries) like ARIN and RIPE. As I understand it, the RIR will sign your

Verizon's response seems very non-committal and it appears this type of incident may happen again if they don't take any action. Are there ways for companies like Google or Cloudflare to work around ISPs like Verizon without affec

I've heard chalk is better because the professor has to explain things as its written down, which helps with pacing the content. Powerpoint is easy to go too fast or too slow since the content is pre-generated. Since there's only

@robinson-wall Nice writeup, definitely raises the standards in the banking industry! I have a few questions: 1. Was this post-mortem part of an official process or something of an individual initiative? I saw it published on the blog, but

This comment spooked me so I went back to my emails and checked what Linode said: > The $50 credit can give you up to 10 months of hosting on our 1GB plan. You can also use the credit towards our add-on services such as backups, Block St

Linode is $5/mo. and I got a $50 credit for just being at a software conference; I also don't think that expires (which is good because I'm not planning on using that credit atm). That's 10 months of free service. It&#x2

I'm blown away by the website itself. It looks like you guys really know what you're doing (or at least place product first, which opens up a lot of doors)! I wish I could invest. How has your experience been going through Y Combi

Yea no the HK govt needs to withdraw the bill and explicitly guarantee no extradition without conviction under HK law for people to feel safe. If China can extradite whoever they want from HK, HK has no sovereignty and no separate identity

Linux probably wouldn't have gotten the investment to become the server OS of choice if it wasn't for Microsoft and Oracle licensing. Chrome only has user concerns now because of business constraints around adblock, and only then

IMHO I've found greatness is also very much a result of environment as well. Not just in the "you are the five people you interact with most" kind of thing, but also in the kind of bounds you face when shipping greatness. It

@aphyr I love reading these discussions about Jepsen! How would an individual contributor get involved with Jepsen and contribute during free time? Is most of the work related to adding public Jepsen tests for each database or is there work

Yea no this is wayyyy underestimating the costs of data engineering. I can tell you from my very limited experience some queries I've seen, on some systems and some datasets, have estimated TTLs in YEARS -- and that's the differen

Might be O/T, but I'm always surprised at how much our understanding of medical science comes down to basically a set of integration tests. You don't really know if your solution is going to be a global optimum (it probably i

I very much disagree. The whole point of Python is to make programming as easy as possible, so that it can reach as many people as possible. Python literally gave up design optimizations like tail recursion elimination so that beginners wou

A number of good points. At the time I took (I think) 5 IB higher-level courses as a junior/senior, as well as a pretty tough art curriculum, and economics competitions as extracurricular activities. There wasn't a lot of energy I

I was going to agree with you. But then I remember one scene in high school. I was talking to a friend who coded in IB American History and asked him how to get started with Python. He said just go to this website and download this tarball.

Is Rust a high-level language or a low-level language? Does rustlang's development prove you don't have to choose? My impression of Rust is that it's intended to replace C/C++, and that web frameworks are high-level libr
