They likely don't search the entirely same set of data (that is, cpan's search is likely a subset of metacpan's search). Also, metacpan groups results by package, which cpan returns individual modules (that is, you might have multiple results, one for each module in a package that matches in some manner). Page load speed isn't everything, and the the very quick search suggestions from the metacpan search that on a regular basis get me exactly what I want without a full search page load more than make up for it for me.

Doctors treating patients is not voluntary; in many cases the doctor cannot turn away the patient. Lawyers' pro bono services aren't always voluntary AFAIK; sometimes the court appoints them. And it if it wasn't done sufficiently in a voluntary fashion, it would be required.

I agree. Good architecture is something that can naturally emerge. You start with a simple and less abstract solution and gradually evolve when requirements are better understood. Upfront design mostly does not work.
Congestion pricing. Cities like Venice and Barcelona are beautiful and should absolutely have the right to control tourism, why not do it with a (steep) tax? A double benefit: fewer tourists and more public funds. The tax could be dynamically adjusted to control visitors

Im generally an advocate for low taxes, but why shouldn’t cities benefit from being desirable rather than suffer for it

Give your life to someone for 25 years (think about what that means and what one gives up for that other person) and then see what you think of that other person if they simply leave you for an upgrade. This is not controversial. It is, however, controversial to consider marriage something either party is free to slip in and out of. I’d like to know which commenters here are married; it’s actually impractical to think of marriage as a non-commitment.
I'm sorry but Dharma in its original context, that being India, is far more a broad term than simply a religious one. For example the conduct of the corporate form in Ancient, and Medieval India was often defined by certain publicly stated terms that the corporation/guild and its members had to follow, this was called "Sreni Dharma" (Sreni being the guild/corporation, and Dharma being the terms it must conduct itself by).

So Dharma is a very broad term, and quite apt in this case.
Stopping smoking is not all it’s cracked up to me.

The show Silicon Valley hinted at this when Bachman tries to pitch an app to crowdsource geolocating smokers.

First, yes smoking is bad, but all the health benefits of stopping have been completely absorbed by the unhealthy food that is sold / made available.

In fact, the second largest smoking company, RJ Reynolds, used to be called RJR Nabisco. A ton of snack food executives got there start from the world of smoking.

Second, there is a community level to this as well. It used to really bother me how many people at work smoked. I would walk past the designated smoking area and see 30 of them hanging out. Then I realized that there is something about smoking that brings people together (one of which is being forced to gather in a designated area), and perhaps in this era of individualism, loneliness, and anonymity that is a greater good.

For more on RJR Nabisco, I suggest this great book from the 80’s:

This is a bad thing. If it's offiicial policy, it demonstrates that humanity can be taken away at the whim of those in charge. If it's not official policy, then someone is merely demonizing a small group for the sake of some other goal.
2FA protects against "password spraying" but that is not really the scariest threat model.

The scariest threat model is phishing, and the disadvantage of a TOTP app on your phone is that you type in the one-time code by hand. Anything you type in by hand can be phished.

The advantage of a token for 2FA is that you don't type it in. It takes human judgment out of the equation. Using NFC to supply the one-time code on an iPhone preserves that advantage.

Now, you might not think a phishing threat model is relevant to you, and that's fine. My point is simply that there is a difference between a 2FA code you type in, and a 2FA code that is supplied directly from hardware.

I've been lucky enough to travel to almost 40 countries and unfortunately many locations designated as a must visit have been completely ruined by over tourism including Boracay, Varcala, and Mue Ne just to name a few. Often times by the time the travel press is heralding a place it's character has been changed. Cartagena and Iceland are good examples of this where 10 years ago they were infrequently visited and were replete with services aimed at locals, now many of the shops and restaurants cater to serve the needs of tourists. Good for the proprietors but bad for the authenticity of local culture.

Yup.

I visited Reykjavik last winter and was astonished at the number of tourists visiting in mid-January. I had wrongly assumed it would be a down-time because of poor weather and short days. Nope, tour agencies just cut prices enough to entice people to travel "off-season".

We had a long weekend, so stuck to the main tourist sites within a few hours of the city. They were all crowded with buses and vans full of tourists.

Not only were the crowds themselves an eyesore, a huge number of the tourists were poorly behaved. Not just inconsiderate in the face of large crowds, but actively damaging to the area. Littering, hopping "do not cross" safety lines, wandering too close to the water's edge (Iceland has rough seas and it's easy to get swept into the ocean).

I don't know if there's an easy answer. All the tourists do bring money. But, I did get the impression that Iceland was being ruined.

I also recently returned from a trip to Peru, where we hiked part of the Inca Trail and visited Machu Picchu. While the crowds were large, I was pleased to learn Peru has limited visitors both to the ruins and the trail to try and ensure both are maintained for generations to come. The Inca Trail limit used to be 2000 people/day and is now 500 (that includes guides and support staff, so ~200 tourists).
Once we have sufficiently good HMDs (maybe Oculus 5?), we could hook on up to a supercomputer running a version of Luxrender, as that should be capable of providing the necessary physical realism to get over the uncanny valley. Of course this is not feasible for constant usage, but more of a technology demo.
I believe we have the necessary technology to get this working within a year, provided the Luxrender guys get some engineers with experience in clusterizing existing software. This could be the visual part of a holodeck.

It's dystopian for employers to track their employee's healthcare goals and track their success meeting them.

Hmm.. Grrumble. I think he has the tail of something.... but hasn't stated it well.

Personally I keep coming across code where the "design" as indicated by names and comments indicate one thing.... but the fact of the code indicates another design.

Now if this indicates a bug, ie. Incorrect behaviour, yup, fix it.

But usually it has been "tested into the shape of a product". ie. The names and the comments and the data structures indicated first, draft, incorrekt, thoughts... and the reality of the code _is_ the correct behavior.

Usually at that point I refactor to reveal what the design really is, down at the mathematics of the code, not what the designer thought it was.

> It is the largest single expense to employers and to the [Canadian] healthcare system.

I've read numerous times that smokers are actually a net gain for a healthcare system, assuming the same system pays for the whole life of the patient.

The majority of medical costs are incurred by a small minority of patients, usually at the very end of their lives. Smokers die earlier and faster, usually without the slow and expensive deterioration many healthier patients will go through.

Aren't we seeing lots instances of the server-side model playing out? e.g., Company XYZ announces they've been breached and leaked XXX million user's data?

I could see an argument here towards the market price of the information -- breaching a company in the above scenario might get you zilch. Breaking an iOS device of an individual of interest gets you a lot of value.

Circling back though -- you're saying that this model isn't one in use. Do you agree with my real-life counterpoint? If so, why wouldn't there be a market? Or, is the market there and the low payouts from the likes of Zerodium reflect the actual low value of the product (and by extension, business model)?

This is somewhat of a revisionist history. MetaCPAN has been around in a form where it's been a good search.cpan.org replacement since 2012 at least, but for some reason that whatever set of people that run perl.org haven't wanted to switch serch.cpan.org over.

I'm very grateful to the effort of Graham Barr in creating serch.cpan.org, and fully understand that he may have his own reasons for never open sourcing it, and I respect that.

But at the same time it's really odd that the Perl project has been willing to run proprietary code on one of its main landing pages for almost a decade when a viable open source alternative has been available.

It is, but by materializing the date series into a table, rather than "lazy-loading" it with the SRF, you're consuming disk IO that other backends could be using. Disk is the narrowest pipe in servicing user queries. That's the sense in which I was thinking it's cheaper.

Who's suggesting this? A bit presumptuous to go from tracking "thing that definitely kills people [smoking]" to "things that are bad but not that bad [drinking, unhealthy eating]". Quite the slippery slope that thinking tracking smoking will lead to tracking everything.
Agreed. This is the main distinction. If they are explicitly charging for security updates and being upfront that would be a completely different story. That being said, if they could do that then they can also charge for security updates piece-meal.
Which is in effect saying that the residents' right to control access to their city is subordinate to random tourists' right to visit whenever they like. That doesn't sound like a reasonable position.

In fact, yes, smokers do die sooner, which is why they actually cost less:

It's definitely a big factor, the financial crisis also played a huge role.. and there are a number of other factors such as the government really not doing anything or being able to reach conclusions about things and basically letting the tourism industry run amok.

Hello! You can certainly use OPA to answer the kinds of policy questions in your examples. OPA is not tied to a particular domain (which is why we call it general-purpose.) Whether you're writing policy over movies, games, etc. it's all the same to OPA (JSON).

I agree, but some things we aren't comfortable making into highly competitive markets. To make housing more competitive for everyone, both tenants and landlords, we would have to do something about the notice of eviction (because if the tenant gets a notice that's time without any revenue and no good way to market the home since it's occupied) and with the contracts (because to make it highly competitive you need flexibility). Also, the zoning laws are a nuisance because they limit how much supply of housing we can do, same thing with environmental regulations on building processes and materials.

As long as the choice of tenant is a risk people will act as people and use superficial traits to infer suitability as a tenant. They will use past, unchallenged experiences which are more commonly called prejudices.

When it comes to soda however, a highly competitive market, things change completely. You can raise supply much quicker and you receive payment right away, and the customers ability to not honor the commitment is very limited since they consume the soda. Even if you believe all kinds of things about a black man's ability to keep a steady job, what types of people come over and visit him, his recreational activities and his family situation it doesn't matter, he's got the money for soda and you've got the soda, what happens after the transaction is of no concern to you. Even if you're a straight up racist it would be foolish not the take the black man's money and give him a soda. However, when the purchase is him signing the dotted line and you getting money every week or month you get more reserved about who you do business with.
I would be very leery of trusting that PHP 4 was adequately patched (given the last PHP 4 versions was EOL almost a decade ago), for a number of reasons that don't just include df.eu's technical capability. It's just a much less likely to be looked at system, but that doesn't mean it's not rife with lots of exploits that newer techniques could quickly find, and I imagine that hosting company is generally just patching obvious and reported exploits in PHP 4 (hopefully!). Best case scenario there's an active fork of PHP 4 that some company is monetizing support for (which doesn't negate all the problems I mentioned, but helps a few).

I imagine it's a meeting of groups that need to have some old PHP 4 app running, and a company willing to throw it on a VM and put a best effort into keeping it from becoming a script-kiddie cesspool. It's probably not even as bad as I make it sound as long as you don't need public access. Still, not a business I would want to be in...
