"industry malfeasance" is 1984-esque lanuage.

IED airbags, HIV injections, babies without limbs, etc. are industry malfesance.

So the phrase implies:

No acts of corporate greed including profiting by killing people could ever excuse murder.


Assuming you are a coder lets see how that works for you..

Someone comes to you saying they need a website. You say "absolutely ... clearly you need one!". So you build it.

The decision to pay you however comes from some 3rd party who says "denied". Now the customer keeps their site and you don't get paid.

Will you stay in this coding business?

The real solution is a public health system. Which has issues (apply queuing theory, because you will have to wait for the limited resources you are niw denied) overall it is better though since it can in theory be optimized as a whole.

1. Do this ^^^ keep reminding us!

I think a 3 monthly submission to HN saying "Ask HN: who is looking to meet up" where the comments are used to meet but it is a bit of an ad for your site."

Get a nod from the mod before proceeding though!


pre-COVID there were regular HN meetups in different cities, I am not sure why the practice died off.


there was a pandemic not soon after that time, I believe.


Pre transformers paper emails. Fun to read.


Depends what you are waiting for.

Maybe an in memory cache hit---that you explicitly code---causes a sync resolve to happen, woohoo!

But if it goes to IO and you are waiting for the event loop to schedule you back in you could be in for a shock even if the IO op is tiny. Especially doing it alot.

Only matters probably on a high CPU usage server which hopefully you avoid by scaling up on cpu and using all the cores.

On the other hand... you are being cooperative :)

But tight loop IO is an antipattern ... as is doing a lot---millions---of IO ops from node (per request or job) that you need to worry about this (use a different language for your DB server!).


When he trashed the aldi espresso machine I think he was unfair. The main issues with it are probably the same issues you get on a Breville until you tune the OPV and get a seperate grinder. That said I dont think he is the screwdriver to espresso machine type.


I've got a Bambino Plus and so far the only customizations are a bottomless portafilter, a huge single wall basket (IMS), programming the flow presets for a good ratio by weight in/out, and optimizing the grind specifically for 30s duration. I'll have to look into your OPV suggestion; anything else?


Bambino might be OK stock?? Not sure. Only change the OPV if you have a problem to solve. For me it was slightly too fine gets zero extraction and the pressure compacts the puck. Then go a bit coarser and it spews out.


> That said I dont think he is the screwdriver to espresso machine type.

He's mentioned modding espresso machines many times in his videos, and brings it up often during reviews.
