We must assume people are being reasonable.

If someone uses a module where the top-level docstring says "not part of the public API", and which starts with an "_", then that person is not being reasonable, by well-established Python developer standards. I have no objections to breaking compatibility for people who reach into a private API.

It's different if I hand them an object and say "use it". Even if I don't document anything, it's implicit that this is part of the public API.

These are two different things, though yes, there can be ambiguity.

"if you document it and write your changelogs appropriately when/if you add a field."

I tried to point this out earlier. It takes only a few (boring) minutes to write the essentially boilerplate code.

While over the lifetime of the project it will likely take more time to write the supporting documentation and deal with the effects of breaking compatibility.

I share your concerns about the usefulness and implementation of this concurrency strategy.

In my opinion, concurrency isn't necessary for JS. If web developers want high-performance, concurrent computing, they should push for adding concurrency to WASM.

I doubt concurrency could hurt JS, but I just don't see any reason for it that concurrent WASM doesn't fulfill.
I have seen similar examples of pseudo-distributed Hadoop Docker images that baked all HDFS and YARN daemons into the same container at runtime.

With this toy example I set out to learn more about Hadoop clusters by untangling the various components and move them to isolated containers that communicate via a Docker bridge network.

Hope anyone finds this useful!
I would just go with an internal/corporate CA which solves this problem elegantly. It's a widely used solution. You don't even need to power on the CA (ideally a VM) unless you're generating certs.

Somewhat related, I think it was Nate Silver who theorized that given enough time all restaurant reviews trend towards four stars. The theory is that if something gets less than four stars it attracts a niche crowd that appreciates it uniquely (and rates highly), while if it gets five stars it attracts a general crowd that doesn't have a particular appreciation (and rates poorly).

>>And how does "I skipped our free IRB and paid this third-party IRB because they're laxer" really look to the department?

In my experience the third-party IRB orgs are not more lax, they are just faster at turning things around. Alexander's article bemoans primarily the time it took to get all these decisions made, which private IRBs would be on top of. I got my rejections of consent forms within 24 hours and get my docs pre-qualified over the phone after submission and discussion with reps. Try that at your local university's IRB. Alexander also has complaints about the questions and methods, but they're mostly unfounded. The study title aspect is important, the signing in pencil is not really relevant (I get his complaint but most industries don't allow contracts signed in pencil), and the transfer of the study to a new investigator unannounced is a huge breach of procedure and he's lucky that all the IRB asked was for a submission of a new investigator. Usually it is much more arduous.

IRB simply controls the ethics and the informed consent documents and has the right to audit materials and process at any time to ensure you stay up on these things. Beyond that, it doesn't do much. When you submit your paper to a peer-reviewed journal (some who don't even need IRB approval, just an ethics statement, mind you), they don't call your IRB provider and reference check you.

Ohio State researchers published a fraudulent article about CrossFit years ago in the JSCR, which is considered a very prestigious exercise science journal.

http://retractionwatch.com/2017/06/02/journal-retracts-ohio-...

Devor stated they had IRB approval. In actuality, they did not. CrossFit sued NSCA (parent org of JSCR) and won lawyer's fees, and Ohio State settled with CrossFit for six figures for damages due to false publications.

IRB is a mere formality in today's landscape. You just need to get it out of the way. It's not like journals are cross-checking your IRB applications, they just want to see the approval that you put in there. And hell, if you're like Ohio State researchers (and probably many more), you can just lie about it.

Hah, not exactly what most people think when you use the word 'print' but then again ...

People have asked what is the impact of 'free' CPUs. Something Dave Rosenthal realized way back in the 90's was that the electronics for driving a display could be printed on the margins of the display and eliminate the need for a separate controller board. Having watched the evolution of displays and seeing Mary Lou Jepsen's work on the PixelQi and other screens it became fairly clear that it still made sense to use silicon for the controller and glass for the elements, but once you get to OLED technology (no backlight) and printing on plastic substrates then you reach the point where you can imagine something like this project but the size, weight, and thickness of a Polaroid picture rather something the size of a cigarette box.

At its simplest, imagine an OLED display driven by reading out an EPROM printed on the borders. Your camera encodes the image in the EPROM and then whenever you apply power to the "picture' it shows the one image.

Certainly something there to explore, a number of engineering challenges between there and a product though.
Jeremy Bentham was a defender of legal rights while calling natural rights "nonsense upon stilts". This was in the 1700s.
JS already has a proper concurrency model which is the event loop. What it doesn't have is a model for parallelism. It's important to understand the difference! It can be hard to grasp at first, because few people make the proper distinction.

If you're new to the subject, don't take my word on it, but watch the talk "Concurrency is not parallelism" by Rob Pike[0]. It's highly recommended.

Learning a language that makes a proper distinction will help - I got it through Clojure, but there's certainly others like (obviously) Golang.

I think that FCC can make some net neutrality rules, but I think the real win is if congress sets the ISP's status to title II common carrier. We already have the laws for that, they've just never been able to get it through so instead we are at the whim of the guy in office at the FCC

Could you share an example? As far as I understand, Immutable JS uses something like a trie for structural sharing and avoids memory leaks.
So, how long until this one also also gets neutered when European governments realize they can't even bring their own websites into compliance with the new law? ;)
There's nothing wrong with being cynical in this case, the FCC's politics are quite clearly in favor of those who want internet asymmetry, to slow or outright ban certain content on their infrastructure, to permit the charging of higher fees not based on usage but on content, and so on. This is the very definition of self-interest, and it's not democratic. So there's no reason to hate being a cynic, it's completely rational.
Where are these praise Google for its liberalism stories? Prior to Trumpism and the breakdown of modern politics, the only time I really heard people talking about how wonderful it was that Google was liberal was the occasional fluff piece about their solar programs.

Thank you! We work _really_ hard to ensure we're staying off CPU, managing disk, and making every replication event count (generally intra-ASN). But it's also really valuable for our NGO clients (and other non profits). My personal favorite is an aide program where they literally bring a Supernode on a laptop, setup a WiFi[1] point in the middle of no-where and can support a fully interactive site for refugee's who have devices when they reach the camp. They can then find out where they are, and what's going on - and you can power a surprisingly large site from a single laptop . It's also really helpful in places like sub-Sahara Africa where in region bandwidth capacity _dramatically_ outstrips off country bandwidth.

They already do. You are given a permit and if it's judged to be out of hand and a threat to the public then they can and do force the crowd to disperse. This happens all the time.
A little notification does seem like the best idea to me. Obviously it would need to be zero-effort, way unobtrusive, and nice and reassuring. "Hey- on unmetered connections, this page may balance network load with your unused bandwidth. You shouldn't notice any difference in speed! [Learn More][Edgemesh CDN]" Maybe even the slightly more aggressive "Your unused bandwidth is helping to speed up other people's connections!" Pop a neat little box in the lower right hand corner on the first visit, and have it minimize/disappear after a couple seconds.

I think it's a little skeevy to have it be completely silent. That doesn't mean it has to be super loud though.
Excellent point. If you look at China, they took a long time to get to a state where they could start developing reliably. Basically after the fall of the Monarchy, there were revolution after revolution, until the Communist takeover. Even after, it took much later, until the rise of Deng Xiaoping, for development to actually take place. By that time, the State had effectively established itself as the Supreme political power (albeit a non-democratic one) which lead to the stability that allowed massive industrialization to take place rapidly, often with assistance from the State.
A cool example of an upsell that I'd never thought of/seen before!
I think it should be a browser-level feature, just like allowing notifications or location access.

Browsers should have an option to follow one of four behaviors: a) allow all P2P connections, b) always ask, c) allow a low-volume (say, <32kbps) P2P traffic, but throttle and ask if the rate tries to go beyond the safe threshold and d) deny all P2P connections. With b) or c) being a sane default, and a JS API to check permissions programmatically.

While this doesn't solve the problem right now (and would probably take a long while to happen), as a long-term solution, I think that would be the best way for everyone, providers and consumers.

I just think if you'll raise an issue with the mainstream vendors (Mozilla, Google, Opera, Vivaldi) you (as a company) this idea may have slightly better chances to be heard than just some random end-user suggestions.

If this idea fits your vision, of course.

In the landmark case you are probably alluding to (Monsanto Canada Inc v Schmeiser), Monsanto Canada sued a farmer both for accidentally growing contaminated crops in 1997, and for using seeds from the contaminated crop in 1998. They dropped the charges regarding the 1997 case mid trial, probably because they wanted to set a clean precedent.

Note that winning the suit over the 1998 crop means they won a de facto ban on saving seed from one harvest to plant the next year -- it is beyond the means of independent farmers to detect contamination, or filter out contaminated seed from their own harvest. In addition to creating an economic burden (farmers must now buy seed), it also means selective breeding of crops is now extremely risky from a legal perspective.

From the Canadian supreme court's judgment:

"Thus a farmer whose field contains seed or plants originating from seed spilled into them, or blown as seed, in swaths from a neighbour's land or even growing from germination by pollen carried into his field from elsewhere by insects, birds, or by the wind, may own the seed or plants on his land even if he did not set about to plant them. He does not, however, own the right to the use of the patented gene, or of the seed or plant containing the patented gene or cell."

Here is a more recent case. Monsanto has sued 850 farmers over seed contamination: http://www.activistpost.com/2013/08/monsanto-can-sue-farmers...

Apparently 700 of them settled out of court, so documentation on that front is thin. On the other hand, the Schmeiser (from above) countersued Monsanto after the above judgement, for (among other things) libel, and monsanto eventually settled out of court.

Monsanto has promised not to sue for < 1% contamination, and the courts bound them to that standard. No one thinks it is feasible for small farmers to keep contamination levels below 1%. (Note x=>y doesnt imply y=>x, but if they aren't going to sue farmers for contamination, why not publicly document that policy instead of this 1% rule?)

Finally, organic farmers are repeatedly suing over contamination (which is at least as financially damaging as Monsanto coming after them), with mixed results.
