> [T]he events that happened in the colonies are not remembered today because they were not deemed important at the time by the people who told memorable stories.

...

> For Immerwahr, this transformation poses the puzzling question of why, at the height of its power, the U.S. decided to divest itself of all but a scattering of its territorial holdings. He argues [insert bunch of convoluted explanations]

The answer is clear and was unwittingly already admitted: nobody cared. With the exception of Manifest Destiny, the U.S. had always been inward looking. We ended up with far flung colonies because we kept stumbling into the role of major power. Prior to WWII, the only time we wrestled with the inevitability of our place was with the Monroe Doctrine, which is less an exception and more an affirmation that the United States had little interest in imperial power for its own sake. Many political and industrial leaders wished otherwise and attempted to force the U.S. into the position, but it could never be sustained because of the domestic disinterest.

It's no coincidence that the balance of political power shifted from the states to the Federal government at the same time the U.S. actively pursued a dominating international position--abortively prior to WWII but completely subsequent to WWII. And it's becoming increasingly clear that the end of the Cold War may have heralded a retreat to our old ways. Again, no coincidence that our national identity is as fractured as it ever has been in the modern era.

A national identity that was defined in contradistinction to foreign identities, and an economy so dominated by foreign trade that economic interests in overseas, non-European markets could wag the dog--these are things the U.S. never experienced (at least not prior to WWII), but characteristics shared by every actual colonial and imperial power.

As for the pervasive racist beliefs, they had nothing to do with colonialism. Conflating these things simply obscures the underlying dynamics. It's actually counterproductive because it permits people to deny the real racism by denying its imperialist past--which is easily denied because of facts. Similarly, it minimizes the continuously antagonistic, if not continuously genocidal, attitude toward Native Americans. By trying to shoehorn American history into the narrative of European and Japanese imperialism one is implicitly equivocating our treatment of Filipinos and Cubans the same way we treated the Native American nations. That's facially and tragically false. It's a lazy, pernicious attempt to import moral arguments from the anti-colonial movement into the American debate. It neither sheds light on historical tragedies (domestically or internationally) nor helps us grapple with our contemporary prejudices.

Personally, I think FF and Gecko are superior to Chrome in most ways. Better and more powerful add-ons, less memory usage, and faster performance. Before quantum, FF kind of sucked, but now it’s amazing. Also I haven’t noticed many situations in which a site doesn’t work under FF.

In regards to his arguments about fragmentation, you could just as easily conclude that MS shouldn’t make Windows anymore. Also, monocultures are bad for everyone: true innovation always occurs through fierce competition.
It's the same in Denmark.

They can force various antipsychotics down your throat like Olanzapine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olanzapine) or Quetiapine(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetiapine), with serious side effects, but ECT which has very little known side effects, and has been studied quite intensely, cannot be forced.

My wife suffered a psychotic manic episode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpartum_psychosis) after the birth of our first child, the opposite of post partum depression, which happens in 1/1000 births.

I witnessed her on antipsycotics for a week while attempting to persuade her to accept ECT.
The effects of ECT were astonishing. She had the ECT treatment at 9:00 in the morning, and by noon she was back to normal. She had a few more treatments after that to make sure she didn't relapse, and that was the last we saw of it.

She's still without relapses 10 years later, and according to her, should it happen again she would accept ECT much sooner.

Edit: I should probably elaborate on the side effects she experienced.
She suffered short term memory loss, which is a known side effect. When she went to the ECT treatment she recognized the driver, and they established where they knew each other from. It was surreal to witness the same conversation unfold with the driver that just unfolded 20 minutes ago before ECT. She had absolutely no recollection of having seen or talked to the guy before on that day.

She feels (now) that she has lost more memory, but as the conventional treatment for manic episodes is basically locking them up in a room with a bed, a table a chair, and some sheets of paper, and keeping them confined there for 2+ weeks, i bet most of us would be unable to keep track of time. Add the various drugs being administered to the equation, in doses that makes you lean against the wall and drool.

She has no memory problems today. The only "blank spots" are in the time surrounding her hospitalization, specifically the days her ECT treatment was administered.
Ah now my addled brain finally wakes up, well maybe. What may be happening here is the ADIRU is doing AoA based static port compensation. It will normally be a small correction, and I was trying to keep that out of the discussion because I thought there there have been reports of erratic airspeed in previous Lion Air flights and that was not jiving with small changes of airspeed I was expecting (and now I'm going to reread the Lion Air preliminary report to check what was reported). But to start with you only need 5 knots to trip the IAS disagree, so sure I'll expect it could trigger that (and also possibly an altitude disagree). But potentially more intersting is what does that usually small static compensation change do when the ADIRU thinks the AoA is really out of whack, does it keep applying the "correction" or does it ignore it? So that question circles back to be similar to what Greenspun is asking in the original article.
That's actually a pretty good way of looking at it. As an ops guy I don't really care that much about what the developers put into their containers, or at least I can shift a large part of my work with maintenance and patch management to the developers.

If you are updating lots of rows, specify a low fill factor, both indexes and tables. It will avoid table bloat from dead pages by reusing existing pages for updates rather than appending the latest row version to a new page (and avoids the associated index update)

Eg

Create table (...) with (fillfactor=30)

As is plain old JavaScript.

React and Vue are geared towards solving a specific part of that problem.

Without a very good reason, most developers shouldn't be trying to solve the problems Vue and React solve in jQuery/JS. Of course, some will want to and nothing's stopping them, but I wouldn't recommend it for _normal_ projects.

It's a lot of work, you need good sources (better than reddit comment) and write the text; at least it's more work than just complaining on reddit/twitter. Another matter is that adding sources is complicated (at I found the process cumbersome last time I did it).
Overtime in mainland China is hard-ceilinged at 36 hours per month (1.5 hours per day...). Beyond that is illegal, which is likely in large part why 996 companies don't like the spotlight in the current 'who knows' game of who Beijing/Xi will selectively select to be made an example of.

Triple hourly pro-rata pay is only for working over official statutory holidays, otherwise overtime pay is 1.5 pro-rata hourly rate for working days and double hourly rate for 'rest days' (this would include Saturday or Sunday for a Monday-Friday employment contract).

The judiciary is quite literally the outcome of a feudal society (courts?), but that doesn't mean that civilized societies don't benefit from establishing rule of law.

I'm not sure that graph shows what you think it shows.

That graph shows that there's an obnoxiously large number of websites that don't support something that there's zero reason not to support.

It costs $0 and takes maybe half an hour to implement, browsers are screaming "not secure" to each visitor, and one in five websites still don't support it. "Make websites faster", on top of being vague, is way more difficult to implement.

> With jQuery you've gotta do something like jQuery('.this').hide();

Sure, at some level, you're going to have define a relationship between your data and some display element (`jQuery('.this')` above), mechanisms for managing presence & visibility among other characteristics (`.hide()` in this case), and wiring that to state.

React is a set of shortcuts and conventions for doing this. It's a decent solution and saves on thinking about how to organize code for this task, and more important saves on bad thinking about how to organize an application (a savings that multiplies the larger the team working on it and range of experience within).

But it's certainly possible to write plain old JS (augmented with jQuery for convenience, if you like) where you define that relationship between your data and display element and accompanying mechanisms once and all the data->UI flow is encapsulated in functions where you don't worry about DOM specifics.

There's some marginal increase in verbosity, and you have to be the person who enforces the conventions (which is usually where this falls down), but OTOH, you get a little more control over how the semantics of your application are encoded. YMMV.
This is a bit disingenuous without actual numbers: jQuery minified is 83 KiB, 30 KiB transferred with gzip. The new slim version knocks that down to 70 and 24 KiB, respectively.

For almost any website that has actual use-cases for it, it's not going to be the data bottleneck. Plus most websites have way more severe bloat elsewhere to worry about

Correct, but suppose one company has hundreds of edge's to their private network very close to the last mile and they run 10-20% of all internet traffic going across that last mile. If you are Google or Amazon and push a lot of low priority streaming bandwidth, a neutral last mile dedicates a lot of capacity to you, so when you prioritize high value data on your own network that priority ends up applying to the last mile as well.

The only way a new company without a massive nationwide network could compete with Google or Amazon is if they could pay a carrier for prioritized service. If you prevent the carriers from offering prioritized service then you are reducing competition because Google and Amazon can and do offer this.

Google and Amazon are far more dangerous monopolists than the traditional telcos. They are already vertically integrated hardware/software/media/everything companies. If some innovative startup builds a killer product that requires their network to function then they will either buy it, or create their own competitive product and kill it.

AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast are relatively small companies now and they are in direct competition with Google and Amazon on many fronts, including this one. The Google version of net-neutrality is nothing more than an attempt to stifle what little competition they have left.

Whenever I review legacy (PHP) code from say 2010/2011 with lots of jQuery, I realize what a relief it is to use frontend frameworks / libraries. There was a reason why those frameworks were developed. And that does not go away just because it feels right when I spin up a Django project and start using jQuery to make my views / templates more dynamic. Eventually when that project grows larger, I realize that going that path won‘t cut it.
I'd call it being pseudonymous rather than anonymous. It doesn't always shield you from harassment. For example, I edited some articles relating to Sweden and the clever trolls on the site put 2 + 2 together and used that as an attack vector. I can only imagine what the insults would have been had I edited something more sensitive like about transgender issues or sexual fetishes or whatever.

I really think the site should have required real names for most editing. Pseudonymity brings out the worst in people.
And yet from the article ...

"But he acquiesced when told that if he resisted, the hospital would seek a court order to overrule him."

Are you claiming they would do this, yet have the deeply depressed patient's honest agreement ?

I don't buy that. This was forced, under threat of force. To protect the hospital against having a successful suicide attempt on their record.

Symptoms return. Normal cognitive function does not. That tells you more than enough. This person is now (hopefully lightly) mentally handicapped, and this has been done to her under threat.

You might as well shoot the person. That has the same demonstrated effect. Seriously. Shooting someone with mental problems can fix those mental problems, many documented cases of that happening.

a1369209993's example snippet appears to be what is implied from section 6 ("REPLACING FORK"), subsection "Low-level: Cross-process operations":

> clean-slate designs [e.g.,40, 43] have demonstrated an alternative model where system calls that modify per-process state are not constrained to merely the current process, but rather can manipulate any process to which the caller has access. This yields the flexibility and orthogonality of the fork/exec model, without most of its drawbacks: a new process starts as an empty address space, and an advanced user may manipulate it in a piecemeal fashion, populating its address-space and kernel context prior to execution, without needing to clone the parent nor run code in the context of the child.
You are right (well at least from my experience). For a long time I decided to believe that people weren’t that selfish until I worked for this start-up where the CEO openly admitted that he didn’t want reward employees with options. Yet, at the same time the company couldn’t hire competitive employees... that’s 2019 in Europe.

Theoretically, a competing insurance company that reduces fraud can offer lower premiums. In reality, this is thwarted by having significant portions of the population locked up in employer provided health insurance so they can’t shop around, although the employer is sort of shopping around for them. It would be much better if everyone was dropped onto healthcare.gov.

Yes, if you look hard enough, you can find anything. But I think the idea is to make it so that the bad things don't just continue to float around where people not looking for it might see it.

Just like terrorist content (how to make bombs/attack infidels and such) still exists, and those looking for it would probably find it, but the governments are trying to make it so that innocent people that have no inclination to perform horrible acts don't run into it by "chance". And just like they did to Muslim extremists and violent ideas in that front, they are now trying to do in other areas.
