> In some cases, countries are taking extreme steps, such as building new Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), which allow networks to interconnect directly, and encouraging local interconnection to keep local traffic local. We find that although many of these efforts are extensive, they are often futile, due to the inherent lack of hosting and route diversity for many popular sites.

Anyone with a background of datacenter, IDC or VPS knows a simple fact: most of the time, the default routes are often sub-optimal. Even if you are using a CDN, sometimes the traffic just doesn't terminated at the local/nearest/best-connected datacenter of your CDN provider, but a remote datacenter, sometimes in another country. Pretty frustrating.

Because the traffic travels through the cheapest and/or the most convenient path, not the shortest path, and it also depends on your physical location, your ISP, the network topology of your local ISP, the national/international infrastructure, etc.

Finding the optimal path for a specific ISP is a pretty tricky task. My networking-guru friends have the ability to learn the interconnections of different datacenter through the BGP looking glass, and identify the fastest VPS to rent based on their experience in the industry, the knowledge of the national/international infrastructure (which core router the network is using? which submarine cable does this ISP use? which national subnet of the ISP is the server located?, etc).

It is very common that your traffic have to travel around the entire Earth, and crossing USA in the middle, even if you are just connecting to a nearby continent.

Sadly, there is almost nothing anyone can do to about it.

Writing a program like that would not be too difficult in Go. It's something like this:

func main() {
url := "https://example.com"
mem := "memory.txt"
oldsum, err := ioutil.ReadFile(mem)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}

// Download URL
resp, err := http.Get(url)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}

// Hash it
newsum := sha512.Sum512(body)

if oldsum != newsum {
err = exec.Command("xmpp_notify", url + " changed").Run()
if err != nil {
log.Warn(err)
}
err = ioutil.Write(mem, newsum)
if err != nil {
log.Error(err)
}
}
}

Don't listen to the naysayers. Go is fantastic for scripts like this - it's really good at network stuff, has a ton of built in functions, etc. And you get actual robustness and error checking that isn't a complete joke. Look how many ways your Bash script could fail! That's fine if you're literally watching the output with your eyes. If not it's going to cause issues when `curl` fails for example.

The only downside really is that you have to compile the Go code, which is fast but not as fast as just interpreting a Bash script (the first time).

Another possible issue is executable size - if you have a lot of Go scripts they may take up a fair bit of space.

I wish Go had an interpreter / JIT mode for scripts.

Edit: Before someone says "but that's 3 times longer than the bash code!" please write the equivalent Bash code that has proper error checking.

I strongly urge you to review that perspective on wealth.

First of all, the real fuck you money is enormous if you really want to forget about money problem altogether. You don't want to wonder if you can afford that expensive car and if it will impact your ability to buy an expensive car 10 years down the road. Second, you do not want to worry about your wealth in general. If you would just have it in a bank, then you definitely should. Inflation being just one of many things to consider. You could spread your investments all around the world and be doomed only in case of some world war or other catastrophe, but to do it well you need a lot of funds and a lot of effort.

So what you would really want is a cashflow. Your assets providing you comfortable enough paycheck each month without your wealth diminishing too much. Real estate investments seem like a pretty good option for that, although you probably still want to diversify not to depend on a single government. But without any effort on your side, optimistically, your income will only stay the same. Which is likely not to make your brain very happy because it is really good at adaptation.

You may think I'm overcomplicating it, you still can choose to work if you want to, it's the comfort that you don't have to and can continue without worrying about basic needs (whatever they may be for you). In that case though, if you are living in SF, there are so many places in the world where you can move with little to no savings and be set for life.

Would you want that though? Or do you prefer to be coding/creating or whatever it is that you are doing? Skillset also can kind of work like FU money. Knowing that at any point you can find a decent job and have money problem solved.

But my short point, apart from suggestion to reconsider the attitude yourself, which you can do much more through-fully that I can in a comment, is that you either are doing what you like - in which case keep doing it, especially in IT it is likely that you have the money problem solved, as long as your passionate about it - or you don't, in which case you can start doing something else and switch to the first scenario or just quit and live a slow life in some place where your money is worth a lot.

Number of people with FU money attitude who will actually achieve it, without lying to themselves, is infinitesimally small. Question to how many of them it will bring peace/happiness/satisfaction I leave unanswered.

I wouldn't for a moment say central bank debt doesn't matter. What I would say that there's not a massive economic difference between money created as central bank debt and money invested by the uber-wealthy.

Remember, Apple's excess money isn't in a mattress; they will have invested it in various boring and sensible things like corporate securities. This investment has a comparable impact to central bank activity.
I can't see corporation tax lasting in the long term, the obvious solution to these problems is to tax capital gains and dividends as if they were income.

I just finished a bottle of Coca-Cola while I was on a train.

The bottle is made of polyethylene terepthalate, while the cap, ring and wrap-around label are made of polypropylene. There's a few drops of coke left in it too. Oh, and I squashed it to save space in the recycling bin.

I put it in a 'mixed recycling' bin that also contained prepackaged sandwich boxes, paper towels, plastic bags, and a banana skin.

Go also carries all its dependencies with it; this is why it produces large single static binaries.

Python lacks a tool to painlessly produce the same, that is, a self-contained binary that includes the VM and all the dependencies. Determining Python dependencies may be slightly tricky, because `import` is an executable statement, and dependencies may be native-code libraries.

There are several tools for that, but all have their downsides, and none is in widespread use. Polishing such a tool until it's as simple and fool-proof as Go's build tool could be quite beneficial for Python community.

The village I grew up in has a cliff sided promontory called the "Green Castle" - turns out that 1000+ years ago it held a substantial Pictish fort. As a kid I've picked bits of charred wood out from where one of the sides where it is eroding away.

Was it burned down by enemies (a Viking siege?), by accident or on purpose. Nobody knows.

Referring to “this case” as an instance of “regulatory capture” is weird. Incumbents lost this particular battle more than two decades ago, when the 1996 telecom act mandated nom discriminatory access to pole attachments for competitors. This is an additional rule to correct behavior that was trying to get around th spirit of the law (causing delays in the process). Regulatory capture requires regulated entities to take action beneficial to incumbent companies. For pole attachments, it’s been a 20 year process og doing the opposite.
Ah! I didn't scroll all the way down. Just took other comments about '1600s' and concluded, most of American History ignored again. It happens a lot.

The most annoying one for me is the way x behaves. Go to the end of a line. Press x (delete character). It's supposed to delete the character, then move the cursor to the left, so you can delete the next character. It just stands there. That's wrong (try Vim or Visual Studio with vim keybindings). It just annoys me a lot because that's how I've always gone about deleting chars instead of using backspace or using ctrl-h.

Note: I like Python, so this is me playing devil's advocate here.

If you need an IDE to solve common pain points of a language, isn't it fair to say that another language which lacks those pain points is a better fit for you? Using an IDE to aid you, to smooth things out and allow for more rapid development and better workflow is one thing. Being forced to use one because the language is lacking is a bad look on the language!

WiFi passwords aren't about security for the people using the network, they're about blocking people who haven't paid for it. If, as an attacker, one of your targets is using JFK's airport WiFi, getting the password for that WiFi is the least of your problems.

Whether it's ethical to hand out passwords to people who haven't paid for WiFi is another question entirely, but wouldn't it be sweet if businesses just let anyone join their WiFi? Bike repair shops always leave a pump outside for anyone to use, not just customers.
>every Go program shipping its own copy of the same things.

Is that really an issue? It takes up a bit more space, but nothing that's really any concern on a modern system. People often resort to using Docker to manage dependencies in other programming languages and end up shipping an entire copy of an operating system.

I honestly don't see many downside to shipping a static binary. At least in that case you can chroot the entire thing, something I really wish Python (and most other languages) would make a whole lot easier.

Security fixes require a recompilation, that perhaps the largest downside, but if you use Docker, then you need to rebuild that image as well.
