Thank you :)

That is indeed not what we said - though we were pretty sure we would be taken out of context and the "there's a risk of somebody being asked to do this and that creates staff uncertainty" would be seen as "we've definitely already done this" :( Unsurprisingly, that's happened.
Yes, insects are also vastly reduced. In my region, there’s an increase in ticks (and tick-borne disease) because there are less insects, leading to less birds, leading to thriving ticks. So, an annoying side effect of reduced insect count is that we have lots of ticks in our gardens.

BTW we have non-organic agricultural fields in 50m distance of our house, so that _might_ be a factor for the dying insects.

Oh, and organic agriculture also uses pesticides. They just use different („natural“) ones.
Aye that sucks. Regressions are the worst, knowing it used to work. I had to look up that platform, knew it was getting old... and primarily for netbooks... I don't think I'd hold my breath for it getting fixed by AMD at least :(
Twitch has in general dropped the ball by not trying to make streams more interactive. I think we should be past the stage where we are using just "dumb" clients.

PIA (Private Internet Access) and am a happy customer for 3rd year running.

Why do I choose them? Besides the ease of use over multiple platforms, they are the only VPN (I am aware of) that has held up in court that they do not store any logs when asked to handover personal information.

> Using Thunderbird plus Enigmail for GnuPG, I can use any email provider, and be ~certain that they can't read my stuff.

Yes but no one can either :( In the last 5 years I received 2 encrypted emails, and thousands of non encrypted emails. The problem with PGP is that almost no one is using it.

Maybe the people you email with do use it though.

And the Soviet Internal Security army was adept at using ethnically-homogenous units to suppress populations for whom they had disdain or antipathy. Siberian units would be used in Georgia for example.

But many things about the Soviet forces were utterly broken so I don't know if they serve as useful case studies.

Incidentally it'd be good if we could eliminate 'not unlike' as a phrase in favour of 'similar'.
If you back your microservice architecture with a shared RDBMS and expect transactional and referential integrity, you've only scaled some parts of your system. Instead you should think about if A: you really need that scale ability, and B: the real implications of it.

So, in this customers / orders example what if you delete a customer? Ideally you don't, you keep the customer as long as you need the orders. You could perhaps anonymize it. And you define what happens if you cannot find the customer. Perhaps the orders should just be deleted? You could have a service running nightly that prune orders from customers that does not exist anymore. A cleanup service that checks for external dependencies and prune them as needed (note, this can be rather dangerous if done wrong).

For people that have formal education in distributed systems, or work with them, this seems very familiar, because it's some of the same things that make distributed systems hard. And that is what a microservice architecture is - a distributed system, which is why it scales well when done right.

This is also a problem we've mostly solved with CQRS and event sourcing, but it requires a lot of manual work and orchestration. It's hard and I can only say - you probably do not need a microservice architecture, and if you do, hire people with real experience in distributed system architecture. They're expensive, and if you can't afford it you do not need microservices.

Especially with APFS adding fast directory sizing, it's ultimately the responsibility of each individual filesystem driver to calculate directory size. And the driver is also the only code that can tell whether the last returned size is still correct. Which for some filesystems (SMB) it should be impossible to know without traversing the entire subdirectory tree again.
Exactly correct. We already share customer emails under limited circumstances and for explicitly requested accounts only (we've never participated in dragnets and we don't believe this legislation will require us to either).

We have a standard process for verifying each request with the AFP and ensuring that they have followed due process to get a warrant for the data. We strongly support (also spelled out in that submission) keeping judicial oversight of requests - which this legislation does still require for the access requests themselves - hence saying that nothing has changed for us, since we have existing capabilities and we already respond to legal requests.
If the root was using DNSCurve, a request to the root would be authenticated, and so on all the way down for each domain that uses it. The recursive resolver would have authenticated responses from each authoritative nameserver from the root on down.

The recursive resolver could then provide a different response to the client, but the client could use DNSCurve to authenticate its DNS server as well, so the client only gets malicious responses if it configures a malicious DNS server.

And that would compromise anything. What happens to DNSSEC if the attacker replaces the client's DNSSEC root keys with the attacker's?
It shouldn't work like this either. If two major chemical companies threatened with relocation and their CEOs told the government it is crippling progress unless it seriously relaxes environmental protection laws you wouldn't want the government to just back down.

At best you have some independent experts with no stake in the game, but even then politics will often result in a compromise that is suboptimal for all involved.

Fastmail does offer any services that are affected by this law. Existing laws allow the government to get your data. Email is unencrypted so the government can get it. The law only affects things like proton mail because now the government can request you backdoor the encryption.
Even POP3 should suffice for backups. It downloads the complete emails by default anyway :)
As long as they never silently introduce a backdoor in to the js app you are running. These new laws are purely to give the legal power for the government to request that.
The real answer: It depends.

But since most of the devs and architects fail to identify when you are allowed to do it, the rule of thumb is to not do it as it is a safer option.

Eating only lean muscle meat is not a good idea anyway. Not sure the products you mentioned are healthy, but mixing things up a bit with skin, organs etc might be beneficial. Don’t hate the meat byproducts per se.
As I understand it, ProtonMail basically uses PGP. It just does it in Javascript or whatever.

But whatever. The ability to use GnuPG serves as a filter ;)
you're right, I'm in the middle of a big project where the lead engineer decided 'data duplication is forbidden'. The mess it created is terrible, both in complexity and in performance.

I can't imagine microservice architecture will ever work in a complex domain without every service having most of its dependent data in its own store.

What would help if people don't look at it as 'duplication' but rather 'caching'.
What's Happening at Mithril
I really can't imagine shutting down with anything less than 6 months notice. Do people really do that?

The infrastructure I'm running on really is pretty cheap. The biggest expense by far are the databases, which run about $250/month for two. If I had to pay out of pocket to support even just a few users for a year, I'd do it.

Anyway I think the best paranoid option (no matter what mailhost you're using) is to set up automatic forwarding to a backup address. Or you can use imapsync [0] from time to time, which is a bit finnicky but gets the job done pretty well. (I actually might try putting up a quick web interface for imapsync sooner or later to cover import/export use cases.)

Why are there no full stack mobile devs?
I don't think anybody would argue that the alternatives are better than JSX (if it were, why use JSX at all?), the step that you want to avoid is transpiling jsx. Why? Javascript's tool chain is complex, once you're using jsx you probable want `react-create-app` too, and things begin cascading from there. It's only worth it if what you're doing has a certain degree of complexity.

For anyone else reading this comment and curious about Buddhism and Panpsychism, here are some links. Buddhism suggests that the perception of the boundary of the self (I am a distinct, separate being) is a delusion/wrong view. Perhaps we experience a shared universal consciousness (with discreet elements?) passing through ourselves like a river with drops of water flowing through it, evaporating, and then falling somewhere far away?

You are hitting the right target. Looking at recurrent neural nets. Finite impulse responses. A consciousness experience is merely a transformation of external reality over time and space. It can tangle the left leg with the thumb, the past with the present. For simple entities, like electrons, their lack of memory means that entanglement will be extremely basic. For more complex things that involve more tangled transformations of reality through space and time, thatll mean a greater amount of awareness of the center of that tangle.

For us, the center of the tangle is our bodies, located, and present. But like you said, babies are very much just passthroughs like the electron. The only difference is that they are storing a ton, the storage just isnt being used in any capacity, its passively sitting there. As the storage begins to become used, and sent to interfere with the present and future inputs, then self awareness results in the form of the intersection.

Good observations..!
I've been using Linux on the desktop since Mandrake was a thing; if there's one thing I'm tired of it's having the "choice" of five broken implementations of an app rather than just one that works (the reverse is also annoying, when one broken monolith crowds out five working predecessors).
> Is a shared database in microservices actually an anti-pattern?

No, unless you dont want (or care about having) a single source of truth. If state is distributed its harder to backup/restore/rewind or even query atomically and reproducibly.

You could still make the single database sharded and duplicated though, but still: in most cases its still one shared database. Even storing Files outside of a DB is just sharding, important thing is the DB refers to the file and still is the single source of truth.

And when you want vertical segmentation see designs like multi-tenant, but its still not a database per microsevice: quite the opposite.

When you dont want a single source of truth you could do without it ofcourse.
I have an XPS15 (9570 i9 with Ubuntu 18.04.01) and I have hardly run into issues and certainly not serious ones.

I am swearing much less now I don't use Windows so much (even though Windows was in a VM).

If your problem is dual-booting Windows, then why would you dual boot? For games, get a gamer PC. For work, use a VM.

It seems a little harsh to blame Linux for Windows killing your boot ;-)
Nope, because they'll just setup a load of shell companies.

> […] and a surge of new, sometimes govt-backed competitors (you know, in the name of national independence).

Not sure if this is worse or better than FAANG. I can see the appeal though.
Yes, that. The law allows for requiring new backdoors to be requested up-front, but still requires warrants to activate those backdoors for specific requests, and it still doesn't give firehose access. It's not as awful as it's made out to be by some, but it's still pretty ham-handed in some of its implementation, and that's what we're proposing they look at changing.
I fail to see how the package management in a Linux distribution could be considered a walled garden. Commonly it's cited as the exact opposite of that (see the table here: [1]). What type of freedom are you missing in something like Debian, where you can edit and recompile the core components of your system at a whim, the system even supporting you through source packages, and where anything outside the package management is just a "git clone" and a compilation away? I really don't know what more anyone could ask for. Certainly we don't want to go back to the 90s way of downloading unsigned .exe files from some random guy's web site and then going hunting for matching DLLs?

What if we all share the same consciousness, but are simply unable to comprehend it? To me the idea that all concious entities are in fact shared is comforting, because it implies that what we do with our lives will always be remembered. Even after our lives end, our singular consciousness, with all of our memories, thoughts and feelings, remains.
It’s awesome that you’re providing an affordable service for custom email domains, but it’s worth pointing out that Zoho has free email for custom domains. There’s plenty of good reasons people choose different email providers, but if cost is your main concern, then you’re competing with free.
From my expirience, at some scale (system and organization) it became a easier to solve technical issues of having multiple DBs than dealing with bottlenecks on 1 shared DB.
We had a fleet mucroservices that used 3 semishared DBs (1 for 1 domain, 1 for another domain and 1 shared). It worked ok for a year and now we run 40 DBs. It is harder to maintain and harder to develop against, but we are not constantly stuck in redeploying half of the stack because scheme just changed.

So, no silver bullet. You need to use something that makes sense, not what is fancy today.
No, but I’m not the target market and neither are you.

there is essentially no such thing as threads in python, unless I am completely missing something.

The default python interpreter does absolutely nothing to make it's execution thread-safe, and that appears to be a deliberate decision on their part to keep the complexity of the interpreter down.
Heck I see this bug on Windows and Linux too. It's just how File Managers work in other OS' they're not perfect. If I know a directory is massive, I don't go by what the OS immediately tells me. A few TB sounds like it would take a long while to fully update, but I bet there's a time out limit.
Or we could create a meat tax, stop subsidies, create task forces who actually care about animal welfare and do randomized tests regularly so animal abuse can be limited. It would also help, if governments would actively work on making vegetarian/vegan options more lucrative. All of this is a process that could work out well in 15-20 years.

We can, of course, also put animals on drugs so they're high while they live their miserable lives, sure.
> I believe this was all in response to the idea that “it _feels_ like consciousness is in the head/brain” being an argument against panpsychism.

I'm trying to argue against panpsychism by noting that the place where it "feels like" consciousness is is completely arbitrary and one can learn to move it around, so this feeling is useless as evidence for panpsychism.
It doesn't necessarily have to be enacted in other 5 eyes countries. The specific wording of the law said they can enlist citizens to put in backdoors at the request of other Governments.

Even more absurd is that it also mentions this regarding economic espionage purposes.
They legally could ask a developer to commit large scale theft of industrial secrets from say Germany for the benefit of Canadian enterprises. Anyone refusing faces penalties in secret court rooms.

The open ended nature of the wording is staggering.

We only allow 100 these days... though I'm hoping that limit disappears once Cyrus IMAP internal datastructure changes happen. I bet Google aren't a fan of you having hundreds of keywords on emails either - but their data model at least supports it.
I use Streisand - https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand

It's insanely easy to set up a new box (I use linode right now but it works with a bunch of cloud providers) and it works well for my mobile devices too.

I like the fact that it's my own server and I am the only person with a copy of the encryption keys.

Also, I have a buddy who is in a middle-eastern country where using a VPN is illegal who was unable to use any other VPN service but had no issue connecting to and using my Streisand box.
When I was first introduced to JSX I found it very confusing because it was sold to me as "HTML in Javascript" but it's... really not. In particular these things threw me off:

- You need to close tags you wouldn't need to close in HTML (breaks copy+pasted HTML)
- Argument quoting isn't optional (breaks copy+pasted HTML)
- HTML style Comments aren't allowed (breaks copy+pasted HTML)
- Whitespace gets stripped for all elements (breaks PREs)
- There's a JSX-specific syntax for "fragments" that seem to only exist for parser reasons?
- Variable references work inside of text nodes but don't inside of attributes.

After I googled a bunch and read the spec it helped a bit, but it left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I'm still left scratching my head over why you should be able to use an element as the value for an attribute though, like this:

<foo a=<bar> test </bar>/>
Some people really mean “the code is the design” when they say “there is no design.” The point being that it’s easy to come up with a vague “design” that falls apart (or comes together, but as an unmaintainable mess) when you try to implement it.

I'd really love if people would stop calling everything mobile standard some number followed by a G.

There are literally no known commercial scale deployments of '5G' technology out there - its largely on paper with many technical and practical details to be worked out - and the deployments discussed even when they do go hot, will be small, literally, these are microcells, something effectively the size of a oversized wifi hotspot. What has been deployed, is effectively LTE-Advanced, with extra channel bonding and MIMO. Beyond that, the 5G standard isn't even finalized yet.

We're still solidly in the '4G' era, and we (in the US) don't even have 100% saturation for LTE coverage, much less LTE-Advanced.

Mmmmm, no, the Standard Model is hard science. Even if you assumed that matter was "made of consciousness" you cannot make use of that assumption in explaining consciousness arising from matter in a brain. As only the properties of matter observed in the Standard Model can be appealed to at the energy levels in a brain. According to a professional physicist. Not my argument.

Are you saying the Standard Model is not empirically true???
Would Twitch extensions fill this void? From what I know of the platform, it would let you implement interactive features.

We use BEAM/OTP for way more than just holding open websocket connections. Our entire websocket layer is a few hundred lines of elixir code - and honestly hasn't been touched in over a year - and has remained pretty much the same as we scaled from 200k ccu -> to well over 5m ccu. Holding open websockets and load-balancing them is pretty much a solved problem for us.
