There's a really interesting movie called "We Live in Public" that documents one of the early tech pioneers Josh Harris as he sells his internet radio company and then creates an underground CCTV community. It's fascinat

What you're describing sound like the challenges that come from working at a big company. In my opinion you have a few options; each better suited towards different levels of burnout, which I believe you might be experiencing. 1. If yo

When you wake up in the morning do you feel rested? Or are you still tired? Others have already mentioned this but I think it's important to reiterate sleep quality. I learned I was not getting enough oxygen at night due to congestion

Older car hoses can degrade faster from it. You also get less power per liter with the blend but overall no.

I would guess it zeroed in on common interests. Videos you like, comment on, or even just watch for more than one time can all give clues into what interests you.

If you've logged in it can potentially match your login information or email address to other activity on the web. TikTok's servers could also place you geographically somewhat roughly based on ip address. Outside of that I agree.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you but this tool expressly has a select and move tool.

Whatever your views might be on TED talks, this article is incredibly well written and thoughtful. Great read.

If memory serves me, nginx succeeded by relying on epoll primitives for handling many connections rather than spinning up a thread per request by default like apache did at the time. That was the big difference back then. These days I imagi

How would you characterize the differences between your years working your ass off and your years taking it easy? What did daily work look like during these eras?

Slightly off topic: The New Yorker had a really interesting article about dollar stores and how their presence can potentially harm communities rather than help. https://archive.ph/O7EbO

Is there any reason this might not work in windows? I see no installation docs for it.

I would argue that these are things we want to do but just are not excited about the effort or potential results.

I've had similar experiences as well as times where xhyve made it so my laptop could not come out of sleep. xhyve is wonderful but still needs some work and it seems like the main dev isn't interested in continuing work on it at t

Nice catch, I haven't read the paper yet but I wonder if it belongs to the device generating the frequency.

I wasn't aware of CBC at the time of writing this comment, thanks for pointing it out to me. It seems if you lose any 32 bytes though you've lost the trail of encryption as you can't decrypt any subsequent pieces. After readi

Error correction (or redundant parity data as est mentioned in another reply) just kicks the can down the road. Let's say you're using a 20/40 erasure encoding. You break a piece of data up into 20 pieces and create 20 extra

Encryption won't work for this scenario as it reintroduces the problem of all or no data. Degraded encrypted data can't be decrypted successfully (yet?)

I think this idea is intoxicating however the problem is we don't currently live in a post-scarcity society (and I don't see that changing very soon). Inequality is still rampant and something like this could do more harm than goo

I believe CoreData should count as an embedded Graph DB. It's backed by SQLite but Cocoa specific.

Venmo uses actual ACH transactions which are free, it's like writing a check but there is a delay. FB, Snapchat, and others are likely eating the cost of the debit card "swipe" in hopes of garnering users.

Awesome intro! I've used Markov Chain libraries before but never took the time to try and understand them. This makes a lot of sense. Are there different or more efficient probability calculations that can be done other than the provid
