The same section you quoted from discusses the cyclical nature of popular acceptance of continual claims of Japanese superiority, ebbing with the immediate post-war hardship and flowing with the actual economic takeoff of the following decades. The sentence immediately following your first quote is: "A major controversy surrounds the question regarding the affiliation of the post-war nihonjinron theories with the prewar conceptualization of Japanese cultural uniqueness," which speaks to the ongoing and historical nature of these "exhortations" and supports my rebuttal.
Fully agreed. While Skyrim Horse Physics™ was entertaining in its own way, something like the OP would be a huge leap forward for immersion.

I agree there ought to be a human readable prefix. Zurl is not bad!

I don't think compression can really compete with a hash table for key size. Because they're different beasts: compression finds the smallest representation for the entropy present in one text, hashing sort of finds the smallest distinguishable key for the entropy of the whole table space. Whatever that means! I'm no expert.

But competing can be a fun exercise to try get this to be smaller. And I've included versioning prefix bits so we know which version of the compression we're using.

So you can say it's sort of trying to compete with the hash table URL shorteners. It's not really, it's sort of trying to do something different as well. I just wanted something like a space efficient transport format for URLs that was going to just do better than base64 expanding them. And I liked that I send them a anywhere in an opaque block. That's pretty much all. Other motivations like we can avoid relying on an arbitrarily sized and growing database, swap that out for relying on a piece of distributable code, are sort of motivations, too.

But having the kind of fake-comparison Benchmark performance of URL shortner I think is also useful motivation to try to make this most space efficient as well. So I don't want to say that it's not competing because I think it's a use for motivation to try to get this shorter.

> The other thing worthy of note is that it appears every single packet will need to be processed through this application

No, only the initial connection requests will go into the netfilter queue (as well as DNS requests so that it knows what a particular IP actually refers to). Packets sent as part of a connection aren't vetted, and it uses the marking feature of netfilter so all of the actual filtering is done by the kernel.
Yeah yeah the NSA data mines everyone and their dog. Welcome to 2013. Now why doesn't the NYT investigate what other illegal skullduggery the NSA and its 16 sister agencies are involved in? Wasn't there a massive leak of intel agency info to Wikileaks a few months ago? Oh yeah I forgot...the NYT, along with the rest of the mainstream media, act as neoliberalism's propaganda department and are about as interested in truth and honesty as, say, Donald Trump.

> When I moved to the Bay Area, I justified the increased cost of living as the sunshine tax as well as the cost of reducing the risk of unemployment in a down economy. Even in the event of another crash specific to the tech industry, I guarantee I'd have an easier time getting another job out here compared to flyover country.

This is the specific reason why I have self-limited my living situation to one of the major tech centers in the US. The downside is nearly unlimited if you're in a rural area: particularly if you have a house. You must be able to get a job if your company collapses, and most companies get shirty about remote work for people they don't know. So you're stuck trying to move in a hurry, to a place where you have no network. Hopefully it's not a down economy and lots of people are looking... then things are even dicier.

Move to the city, young man (or woman). There be jobs there.
LibreSSL 2.5.4 Released
We have released LibreSSL 2.5.4, which will be arriving in the
LibreSSL directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon. It includes the
following changes:

* Reverted a previous change that forced consistency between return
value and error code when specifing a certificate verification
callback, since this breaks the documented API. When a user supplied
callback always returns 1, and later code checks the error code to
potentially abort post verification, this will result in incorrect
successul certificate verification.

* Switched Linux getrandom() usage to non-blocking mode, continuing to
use fallback mechanims if unsuccessful. This works around a design
flaw in Linux getrandom(2) where early boot usage in a library makes
it impossible to recover if getrandom(2) is not yet initialized.

* Fixed a bug caused by the return value being set early to signal
successful DTLS cookie validation. This can mask a later failure and
result in a positive return value being returned from
ssl3_get_client_hello(), when it should return a negative value to
propagate the error.

* Fixed a build error on non-x86/x86_64 systems running Solaris.

This is the first stable fix release for the LibreSSL 2.5.x branch. The
next development release will be 2.6.0.
Does 'anyone' care about that? I don't. I suppose you could find someone. Maybe raspberry people. But for large swathes of devs, not a thing.
I actually won this one year.

> I think you do know exactly nothing. What you believe you do know may be completely wrong since you have no first hand experience and read things filtered through the cultural biases that exist in each of us

So that applies to you and your view too, right? Or is it only other people's views?

> and when applied to another culture, finds ways to on the one hand exoticize it, on the other to denigrate it and it's people.

That's an extremely presumptuous and arrogant statement to make.

As if that was the only possible kind of response.

And speaking of my case, I have known many Japanese people and have like them a lot, and I like a lot about Japanese culture. I am half Asian and hardly exoticize the place or culture
When you read Trygve Reenskaug's original 1979 paper "MODELS - VIEWS - CONTROLLERS" -- it is very short, simple, and crystal-clear -- (http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~trygver/1979/mvc-2/1979-12-MVC.pdf), it obvious what Trygve meant:

* The MODEL is something like a web server

* The VIEW is something like a browser

* The CONTROLLER is something like the Windows start menu

Trygve literally writes:

"A view (=browser) is attached to its model (=server) and gets the data necessary for the presentation
from the model by asking questions (=submitting queries). It may also update the model (=posting) by sending appropriate messages. A controller (=start menu) provides the user with input (=menu items) by arranging for relevant views (=windows) to present themselves in appropriate places on the screen."
There are also local apps. The app platform is a little like Electron or Node -- locally-installed JavaScript with extra APIs that aren't available on the open web. Examples:

Caret text editor: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/caret/fljalecfjcio...

Text text editor: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/text/mmfbcljfglbok...

You can save stuff on Google Drive, and then it'll sync when back online.

People often say that Chromebooks don't have apps and that they're just a web browser. They're wrong.

Did you mean that it's not common in root beer? Wiki says that root beer has little to no caffeine.

Root beer is so sweet that I would think it could mask the bitterness. I wonder if the plants that originally were brewed into it just didn't have any caffeine.

Do the ingredients to coke naturally have caffeine, or was that a substitute for the original alkaloid? I.e., is decaf coke because the removed the caffeine, or is caffeinated coke that way because it was added?

I think by cure they mean eradicate the virus, rather than suppress it. Most people can live relatively normal lives by keeping their viral load low, but this involves taking expensive medications every day for the rest of one's life. The drugs are things like protease inhibitors, modified DNA bases, etc. that muck up the virus' replication machinery so that it cannot make more copies.

The goal of a lot of researchers is basically an HIV antimicrobial that kills the virus in the same way you might treat pneumonia, so that maintenance therapy is not needed.

The only way for a bubble to happen is with liquidity. The pace of selling has to be extremely fast. You can't dump Yik Yak off to the next guy - it's private. You can dump Etsy off on the stock exchange, but, it has been doing poorly for 5 years - so no bubble there - the only sucker is the seller.

I believe they're doing that. They've introduced two new products out of beta these past two weeks. My hunch is that they'll continue to find paths to long-term and more predictable revenue to mitigate the anxiety we're seeing with the stock. A lot of people don't really understand what Twilio does and its value proposition within the investment community. It's tough to sell this as a viable investment option if you don't truly understand what the platform does.

I do think this is just temporary. They'll bounce back. It'd be a good time to double down on the stock.
I guess it depends on your definition of "constantly". To me, if it's cyclical and followed by a national debate, it's different.

I'm certainly not debating that nationalism didn't (or doesn't) exist in Japan. I just wonder to what level it was "indoctrinated". I would have expected there to be far broader and stronger nationalism left today if it was that bad post-war. I'm trying to compare to stuff like how the effects of the Red Scare in the US are still very strong

> If you die off because some Chinese seller "stole" your idea which by the way you came up with first, then you deserve it because it means you didn't execute well enough.

I won't argue that copying ideas and reimplementing them cheaper/faster doesn't have upsides. But one worry is that the immediate downsides are felt by the original inventors. Sure, cheap copying is nice for the consumer and reseller, but they're dependent on original inventors being incentivized. It's not impossible for inventors to go the slow, substantive route, in which they come up with a business plan and an idea, but that limits the work of creation to those who can manage that kind of timeline.

Yeah these ideas I've seen in this thread about blockchain a really good. But I just don't really know anything about blockchain. How would this work exactly? How much code would it take to do that? Could you do it from the browser?
One of the big barriers to entry in the space is spam whitelisting. Every time you send an SMS message, there's a chance the carrier flags it as spam and doesn't deliver it. Twilio and others try to give customers a higher chance of successful delivery. That comes with direct carrier relationships and stuff.
Doing that would decrease their sales and ability to grow drastically.

Hand made does not scale.

I remember looking into Douane a while ago and was not impressed. Rather than implementing all of the rules and policy in userspace (as OpenSnitch does) it implements the rules in kernelspace. It also has a bunch of questionable technical decisions in how policies are handled, especially when it comes to "edge cases" like processes with long paths[1] or connections where the socket file descriptor is greater than 8 or something like that[2].

My main complaint about implementing all of these things in kernel space is that it's simply not necessary -- with netfilter_queue and connmark you can relay all decision making to userspace without losing any generality. The only thing that you might argue is a benefit of using a kernel module is that figuring out the "path" for an application might be easier but I'm not sure I agree. Also Douane simply will not work properly with containers because of how it assumes that everything is in the host namespace.

As an aside, I decided to write my own application-level firewall for GNU/Linux[3] (mainly as an exercise to myself to learn Rust as well as learn more about low-level network programming in Linux). My plan is to make it far more modular than OpenSnitch with an client API so the GUI can be completely separate (and also perhaps allowing different clients to have different policies).

Why is not intended that in-memory state be in Cap'n Proto / Protobuf objects? What are the down-sides?
Is that actually the case? The reference I see for 1-9 in the spec is not talking about length of the number, but is referring to digits 1,2,3...,9 as a single token in the grammar. digit1-9 is a token that's used to disallow leading zeros: a number must start (ignoring the possibility of "-" prefix) with a `digit1-9` which may then be followed by any number of `digit` tokens (inclusive of the digit "0" this time), or else it must start with a "0" which may only be followed by "." etc.

I don't see any reference to range/precision in the spec, other than the suggestion that numbers that can be represented as an IEEE double are likely to be interoperable, and integers within 53 bits of range will generally be interoperable due to exact agreement on their value.

> Across the nation, hundreds of suburban shopping malls are dead or dying; countless suburban factories, like their urban counterparts a couple of generations ago, have fallen silent.

OK, but those are not specific to suburbs, are they? Shopping malls are kind of a trend that fell out of fashion, and it was partially replaced by internet sales and other forms of brick and mortar shopping. Factories have gone overseas, but I don't see how that's related to suburbia. Certainly the suburban area I grew up in in the 70s and 80s never really had factories in the first place.

Who cares? The vast majority of people who are inflicted with HIV participate in high-fish behavior. They don't deserve treatment anyway.
Define what you need done in the most granular detail possible. Have a written specification document, if possible. This helps you figure out who you really need to hire, and makes tracking progress much easier.

Ask the right questions before hiring. Learn enough about the subject to ask good questions. Ask how they would solve an adjacent problem.

Set checkpoints for the contractor's work. Have the dev build something partial that you can test. Build another and test it. Integrate them and test them. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Learn the language, or else. You could get frustrated and waste time, or you could get fleeced. You can't effectively communicate with an engineer figuratively speaking another language.

And communication is everything, especially for remote work.
