I have no doubts that a city is better for teens/pre-teens, but I don't think growing up in a suburb stunts their emotional maturity. I grew up outside of DC in a decent suburb, and was able to get around via bike and meet my friends at the mall, the movie theater, etc. This was 2004-2007ish, not the 80's.

I spent a lot of time exploring with my friends, and being independent. I think it would be hard to have this kind of experience in a rural town, but in a suburb, it seems pretty normal.
IMHO something that leaves a toxic legacy for hundreds of generations to come is justifiably not 'clean'.

Here's the original article from Süddeutsche Zeitung (in German):

https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/china-app-ueberwachung-t...
1997 we had this crazy notion of web "channels" (like RSS feeds), and offline viewing, where a client on a painfully slow dial-up connection could download and cache the resources required to display complex web pages.

Microsoft did this via an explicit web manifest; the web page author needed to list all of the resources they wanted to use in offline or pre-cache mode.

Netscape tried to do this by urging web authors to Be Very Careful with the links on a page, which usually required a specially-crafted offline-crawler-only version of the site. Predicably, hilarity ensued.

The term of art at the time was "push technology" or "web push", the irony of which was not lost upon those tasked with making it work.

1997. Good times.

My company is very careful that our suppliers don't use slave labor. We have mapped out supply chain down 6 levels in some cases to ensure this. Slave labor is cheaper, but we won't use it even indirectly.

The mention of demand side IoT power load as a service has me wondering about the theoretical abuse potential for insider trading or Enron style shenanigans. Ideally such attempts would result in losing money.

It does bring to mind an oddly positive twist on the "you don't own it" of IoT. By signing up as part of a service cooperative of some sort getting a share of the generated income as compensation.

Probably not a winning move and if done by could rightfully get FTC involved by mixing in investing - especially if it id being run by the manufacturer who has potentially clashing incentives.
What if we make future generations not needing to actually consume these resources ?

Also if you consume all the available non-renewable energy that you have, at one point you will mathematically end up in a dire situation.
The fact that OP is being sanctimonious is highly relevant to the point I’m making. It’s one thing to hold the opinion that we need to eliminate oil use because of the serious environmental repercussions. But if you’re living in america enjoying American employment options and living standards, you don’t get to engage in “holier than thou” “us versus them” rhetoric. Our entire economy and all of our jobs are predicated on cheap energy. Oil companies make a lot of money because they deliver an essential, high demand product. But given that oil and gas is less profitable than your average industry (as you’d expect a commodity to be) there is no basis for acting as if the benefits of cheap oil flow to oil company shareholders. It flows overwhelmingly to consumers.
I think the point will be selective enforcement. Make a completely unreasonable request that travelers are unlikely to perfectly comply with (even if inadvertently -- do you remember your Digg profile?) and later enforce a penalty at your discretion. Soft-totalitarianism.

I did a lot of research as I just moved here myself. Melbourne is not physically a large city. The county that Melbourne is in has nearly 600K people. If you count people within say, 45 minutes, that number grows to probably over a million as that gets you to Orlando outskirts.

This area has a ton of tech jobs it seems...
Our company uses Splunk. I am not on admin/ops side so possibly missing details. The way I understand is that there is Splunk forwarder running on our app servers. And then there is Splunk server URL from there I get consolidated logs in browser where I can search and run many other statistical function.

So is Vector like Splunk forwarder or more than that?

I'm not sure why I'm making this association, but I feel that what's happening to Venice is systematic of larger, "flashy, saccharine surface" societal changes, fed by the internet and social media.

Venice (and Barcelona, also mentioned in the article) is basically the perfect city for the Instagram age. You can come in, spend less than a couple hours there, and pretty much hit all the major "checkboxes" and photo sites: ride in a gondola, take some pictures in St. Mark's Square, etc. All the incredible history about how the city was actually built, it's role in the Middle Ages, etc. are easy to pass over.

This is pretty random, but it reminds me of this video, https://youtu.be/6abePkXncCM , by a well known youtube baker who is lamenting that high-quality baking content for recipes that actually work are getting killed by slickly produced videos that are literal eye and ear candy but are useless and aren't even feasible. It's as if we're all looking out for the shortest, quickest "dopamine bump".

It's just really sad to me.

I’m not sure why we pay for electricity in the first place. Reliable electricity, clean water. These things are fundamental to modern human existence. Why do we have to pay for them at all other than greed?
I agree. There are some trails that are poorly marked. Other times, spring snow-melt will create what looks like a trail, misleading people. Flash floods can wipe away whole sections of trail. I've had fallen trees, yet to be cleared by trail maintenance, obscure the actual trail and I end up following an animal path or an otherwise deprecated path. Hiking in snow presents yet another problem. There are several places I've hiked above the timberline that are wide-open scree fields with no discernible markings. There are plenty of "unmaintained" trails -- they're on maps, but not the beneficiary of any upkeep. Even with a flashlight, hiking at night in thick cover can be a real challenge at times. Many trails are well marked, but there are many instances in which they're not.

I semi-regularly backpack through unmarked wilderness with no navigation and no map, and I have friends who do as well. But as you said, perhaps I'm in the 0% to several significant figures.

You can just optimize for underlying concrete types! I believe even the standard library does this.

Yeah, I know. I've developed with/for WordPress for 10 years and most performance issues can easily be mitigated by optimizing your resources, using caching and more. I never had to rely on CDNs for good performance, though, also SEO agencies try to sell you this. Hard to explain to customers, though.
A looong time ago, when OpenID was sort-of new, I implemented my own OpenID provider, because I wanted to log into StackOverflow and other places, but I didn't want to use a third party service.

That worked swimmingly in the few places that supported OpenID, but eventually even StackOverflow dropped support.

I must admit I haven't kept up with what has happened since in this area, so stupid question:

Could I install this server and have my own OAuth2/OIDC provider that would allow me to login to websites using my own provider (instead of "Login with Microsoft Github", "Login with Facebook", "Login with Google", "Login with Twitter"), or is this something else/the reverse?
>not that big of a deal

I suppose it depends on what we're defining as infrastructure.

* Roads can be built to last 15 years before needing additional work (routine maintenance extends this to 20 years), same with sidewalks.

* New sewer and water pipes will last ~50 years.

* Copper electrical cabling will last at least 100 years, but lets be conservative and assume only a 50 year service life before you have to pull new wire through underground conduit/concrete channels. Let's also assume more solar goes on suburban roofs (and batteries in garages) as the cost continues to decline, taking load off of the traditional electrical distribution network

* Estimated service life of fiber optic cabling is 25 years (fiber to the home)

* The suburbs will never be dense enough to satiate transit demands using busses or light rail exclusively; it's EVs most of the way (sustainably powered by either distributed or utility generated renewables). I am a huge proponent of electric busses and dedicated lanes for them in high density areas whenever possible. Faster and cheaper to deploy than light rail, and more versatile for changing needs.

Nothing above seems unsustainable to me, but I also agree the suburbs should not be subsidized.
Why haven't we consumed everything yet?
I think it’s hilariously ironic that the majority of commentators in this thread are so annoyed with other tourists, yet they are themselves.
We don't have to get oil domestically. Other countries are more than happy to decimate their local environments to sell oil to the US at below market rates.

I'm sure this makes me an asshole, but given the choice between making regions of Saudi Arabia or the USA unlivable, I'd take Arabia any day.
I have this great idea for a business: "ewhiteout" for ebooks.

Basically you can selectively "patch" ebooks to censor profanity, sex scenes, violence, (and more) depending on your tastes and on what you like (and don't like) to consume.

However, this is extremely unpopular with authors/publishers for the same reason that censoring movies is extremely unpopular with Hollywood (hence why companies like VidAngel are constantly mired in legal issues despite widespread popularity with consumers).

Honestly, I don't understand why since at the end of the day everyone gets paid, and indeed get paid more than they normally would have (I guess it's more of a "you are altering my art so people can consume it in ways I didn't intend" attitude). But in my mind it's no different from using whiteout on a physical book or picking out the mushrooms (or whatever you don't like) in some chef's dish.

Basically, I've already built the tech to do this for myself privately (and have patch files for ASoIaF and a dozen other epubs), but I will never share it (I've even considered FOSS) except with close family and friends even though I know it would be wildly popular in places like Utah because I fear legal pursuit from authors/publishers (and since you must break DRM in order for the tech to work, I don't see a way out).
This is the webcomic in question: https://xkcd.com/927/
AWS CloudFront SLA refund/credit policy appears to work as you describe: https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/sla/

Monthly Uptime:

* 99.0% <= uptime < 99.9%: 10% service credit
* 95.0% <= uptime < 99.0%: 25% service credit
* 0.0% <= uptime < 95.0%: 100% service credit

But CloudFlare's Enterprise SLA (25x credit) is similar or maybe even a little bit better (because you get to 100% at 96% instead of 95%). Of course when you are doing an Enterprise deal you can negotiate for whatever terms are mutually acceptable as long as you're willing to pay.

In any case, the function of the credit policy is to ensure there is enough pain for the provider to put in place the quality / reliability practices, process and code to protect themselves from losses. IMO most sustainable business pull in much more revenue per hour than 25x their CDN cost.

It would be interesting to know how CloudFlare's infra and processes differentiate free, Business and Enterprise customers.
It's also worth taking into account the size of the software and its relative CPU utilization. Log shippers do require CPU cycles and memory that would otherwise be available to run the other workloads on the host.

As for the multitudes of inputs/outputs, covering the 95% most-used sources and sinks is a great starting point. I think Vector got that list right in this case.

From a business view, selling a customer a JAVA solution is easy, they know JAVA, they know they won't have trouble maintaining it or finding internal developers to pick up the slack.

External customers do not know Scala, or Kotlin, or whichever JVM compatible language rolls around next. Hiring these kind of people sounds troublesome and expensive.

> but after 10+ years they still just work

I think this is also a mindset of devs who are committed to a job long term. Many places seem to churn through people every few years. If I had to look for a job every year or two I'd be doing resume-trendy "best tool for the job" stuff too. If I knew I'd be on the same system in 2029, I'd be keeping things easy to maintain.
Thx for the link, it looks useful. However, I disagree. The experience of trying to make something work when the compiler gives grief for no obvious reason or doesn't give any errors but you segfault for the 10th time cannot be substituted by reading a book.

I liked the "Commando" GUI in the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop:

http://school.anhb.uwa.edu.au/personalpages/kwessen/web/soft...

Using it is like pulling up the manpage while typing out a command, but interactive. Once you're done formulating your command, it runs in your worksheet and you can modify it and re-run it if necessary, just like any other command.
Reminds me of something I pulled in middle school - back when we delivered papers on floppy disks. I took a garbage binary file and renamed it to `mypaper.doc` or whatever, turned it in on time and got a free weekend to finish it because my disk "was corrupted" :)

Your application process is unnecessarily time-consuming.
Some unsolicited feedback:

1) I typed "Hello" and pressed play, and was expecting it to play "Hello". Instead, it played, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." What happened? Either the product didn't work as it was supposed to, or there wasn't enough guidance from the UI (i.e., I clicked the wrong play button). I think your app could really benefit from progressive disclosure, which is all about minimizing clutter and focusing the user on fewer, logically connected actions. For example => Type > Play > Export. Here's an article on Medium that covers this, with examples on how companies do it: https://medium.muz.li/design-technique-progressive-disclosur...

2) As a founder that regrets not deeply understanding their market's problem first - What is the problem you solve? Who do you solve it for? Is that problem painful enough and is your solution good enough that someone will pay for it? Are there enough people experiencing this problem to sustain your business? It sounds like you're targeting a very specific audience: Bloggers that do not want to put the effort into podcasting or do not have the ability to podcast, but have enough readership and pent-up demand for a podcast that they would pay to have a text-to-speech tool do it for them. Have you made sure that market exists and is profitable? What are they currently doing to solve this problem?
At least in the US, encryption of any kind on amateur bands is prohibited.

Hams tend to be really good at self-policing, so if a curious person horns in on your traffic and discovers that it's encrypted, you can expect a knock on your door, if you're lucky from the guy that looked up your license from the public database (you're required to transmit your callsign at regular intervals) to ask you to fix it, if you're unlucky, from an FCC enforcement guy in a suit.
Luckily, you don't need to prove 100% culpability to win a civil suit.
It's even worse in my organization. Funding is based on projects so the amount of funding you receive is based on exactly how long your estimate is (if they choose to fund your project). Often projects are estimated based on "here's how much money they are willing to spend, so we'll just figure out the number of man hours that amounts to and give that as an estimate."
IMO that's totally fair -- 1GB is more than adequate to run a log forwarder. The fact that Logstash can't perform well under such conditions is worthy of consideration when selecting a solution.
I’ve been wanting to use a basic one to keep track of silly things. Like movies I want to watch, movies I want to rewatch, or the music i need to sync to my phone, YouTube links of interesting things that have stood out to me. Just things that don’t belong in a app with lists and also not include these things into my notes app. Maybe it’s a silly approach. Just an idea I’ve been vacillating with.
Why is people living there something we should want though? Lots of people love visiting Venice. Relatively few people actually want to live there (at least, at the price it would cost to balance the number of tourists one permanent resident would have to displace). It seems like Venice generates the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people by acting as a tourist destination; isn't that something we should celebrate?
> What if we make future generations not needing to actually consume these resources ?

In all likelihood we'll need to consume the resources available to us to advance to the next level of technology where the existing resources are no longer needed.

> Also if you consume all the available non-renewable energy that you have, at one point you will mathematically end up in a dire situation.

Mathematically speaking, the resources will be consumed eventually. We just need to try to make as much progress as possible before that happens.

Disposing of nuclear waste is actually a big deal in the US. Last I heard, nuclear waste is kept on-site or close by since the Yucca mountain storage facility was never built[1]. These storage facilities weren't built or meant for long-term storage and could potentially (likely?) have radiation leaks.

The data in this article is extremely suspect if not flat out wrong, which makes me question everything else. First the article claims that the city’s population rallied in the 1970s. Later a graph caption states that its population is less than 1/3 of the 1950s. But the graph itself shows that neither of these things are true- the population has been declining nearly monotonically since 1901, with no rise in the 1970s and, at most, a 50% decline since 1950. It just goes to show that modern editors need to be data-conscious in addition to looking at grammar.

Before I went to China I bought a burner phone, mainly to install WeChat (which is also a kind of malware and also "required" in China). Basic Android phones are not too expensive these days - I wonder if it will become commonplace to own several and physically separate your life across them?

FWIW I got a Huawei phone (Honor 10 Lite) for under 200 EUR, but much cheaper phones than that are available.

Edit: To be clear this is not to avoid Chinese surveillance. That's unavoidable whatever you do because China is a police state. It's to separate out that surveillance from my contacts and my regular life at home. (I also think it's at least arguable that the Chinese government has a duty to look closely at what foreigners are up to. It's not an argument that I agree with myself very much because it infringes freedom while also making the wrong trade-offs, but given we live in a world of nation states it follows logically from that.)
