I think it's two separate but each probably sufficient reasons:

2) It would be almost impossible because of contributor copyright/license reasons, as you explained.

> Blocking exits does not in any way improve the road itself.

Incorrect. It improves the conditions of the road for local drivers, as well cyclists and pedestrians. Which is exactly why Portland did it. Unless you have an alternative explanation?

> The fact that through traffic is technically possible does not mean it is 'prioritized'.

It shows that they've prioritized enabling through traffic over other concerns.

It's not all that different from road diets. Road diets usually reduce the carrying capacity of the road, making it "objectively worse", in your parlance, in the service of other goals. Diverters accomplish a similar function.
I count cards and it is not hard at all to spot the patterns that counters use. The most common counting system follows a very specific pattern that, if used, would leave anyone following along with an identical count. In response to that count people will change their betting patterns and this is what is generally being watched for (and guarded against, to your earnings detriment, by people that don't want to get caught). More serious counters will work in teams and the casinos can try to look for the signaling that such teams traditionally employ (in addition to betting patterns).

Even with counting (at the individual level) you are really only giving yourself a very slight edge and this assumes that all other advantages are being taken (playing a perfect game, playing favorable rules... unfavorable rules are everywhere these days... managing your bets to take advantage of the count without getting caught, having a properly sized bank roll, etc.). Sadly, after all of that you can still get your butt handed to you on a bad night. On the aggregate you can beat the house with counting and all of the above but only just.
I'm not sure that SpaceX's excuse that it wasn't deliberate really helps their image here. Deliberately ignoring it, for whatever reason, could be fixed with a firm "you really can't do that", backed by lawsuits or complaints to the US government (FCC? Airforce?) etc.

On the other hand, a culture of oversight that fails to adequately test its emergency response procedures seems a more systemic problem.

> Bounce Rate

This requires tracking sessions.

> Page Views per Session

This requires cookies or some other mechanism for stringing individual page hits into a single stream. While you can, sort of, kind of, do that based on the source IP combined with the user-agent (like this project does), it's not terribly accurate and it can't track longer sessions.

I would argue that very few people object to being tracked by the site they are actually visiting. Most object to being tracked by 3rd parties, and across multiple unrelated sites. So a simple 1st party cookie is quite acceptable, but you can certainly go an extra mile and ask even if it can be set.

#1: They would have to give a rationale for the change which actually makes sense. The privacy explanation does not make sense because the observational capabilities of the API are explicitly not being removed. Therefore there is no benefit to user's privacy as a result of the changes. The performance explanation also doesn't make sense if we look at the numbers that adblocker vendors have been publishing in response to these changes.

#2: In light of the backlash to the proposal they would have to actually consider not implementing the change or at least consider some alternative implementations. So far all they have done is say "we've heard your concerns, and we're just going to do it anyway". Many interesting ways have been proposed to achieve the same supposed benefits as what Google claims manifest v3 will provide. But they have not responded to any of those ideas and are blindly persisting with their proposed model with all its downsides. So why even act like this is some kind of open process which involves real developers?

#3: They would need to demonstrate that they are actually concerned about the ability of adblocker vendors to deliver good products. They could have created a transition window from the old API to the new API to see in practice how adblocker vendors choose to use it and what limitations they face. But they haven't done that, instead they announce they're killing the old API the same moment they introduce the new one. That to me demonstrates that they don't really care if it's sufficient for those vendors or not.
It isn't synonymous with 'worthwhile'. That's just true. For one thing, 'literature' is a form of media, 'worthwhile' is an subjective quality of experience.
> Whatever comparison you do, you should compare a representative subset of both populations in similar situations in life

Well, yes and no.

If you're an 18 year old who wants to program computers and you read Turing and Dijkstra for fun, then go study math or physics, which you won't have much time to do later. Or pick a subject in the humanities if you like to read and write. Is it a great way to become a programmer? Maybe not, it would be better to just go and get an internship or a job, but (1) smart companies are hard to find and (2) you'd be missing out on a chance to get a university education at the age when most people do so.

On the other hand, if you're picking coworkers, go with the self-motivated one who had to learn everything they learned because they were interested in it, over the one who had to learn it to get a degree in a field that everyone knows is a ticket to a high-paying job.

Sure, this is the same point: if the only thing you're good at is your specialization, then you're probably not going to be very good at it. Unless it's something like chess that really has minimal relation with anything else in society.
> You might do this to let you have one cable run from your computer/monitor hub and easily switch between different keyboards with USB-C or micro/mini connectors.

And the cable does have a microusb connector, but what I was talking about was the inclusion of some aviation connector right in the middle. Even the post said it was purely decorative.

> What's the idea behind the key coloring on the Adminbook?

The post on the adminbook does talk about the rationale behind the colors:

> To hit the buttons faster, different key colors are used.

> For example, the numeric row is specifically colored gray to visually separate it from the QWERTY row, and NumLock is mapped to the “6” key, colored black to stand out.

> the function keys can be pressed without Fn. These are separate keys that are even divided into groups of 4 using color coding and location.

> That is, it’s an LED above the display, illuminating the keyboard from the top. In this case, it is better than a backlight from below, because it allows you to distinguish the color of the keys.

> Indicators are color-coded.

With regards to:

> I think there's a certain "it's extra bulky and ugly because it looks more functional that way" to both the Adminbook and the 4-pin industrial connector, and that's fine.

I don't think the industrial connector itself is not functional, but rather its inclusion in a USB cable.

On the keyboard coloring scheme of the Adminbook, whether you would use it or not, it definitely can be used to distinguish different key groups. Besides the ones mentioned in the parts I quoted, there's also the light background color for the keypad buttons, the dark background color for the '0', '-', and '=' keys which are used for controlling zooming in multiple applications. The F key is where the nub for your index finger is to quickly position your hand correctly, etc.

The risk of a crash was 1 in 1,000. This is 10 times the threshold of 1 in 10,000 that requires a maneuver. Both of these satellites have been in orbit long enough for accumulated error to cause the satellite to drift from its predicted path. There are many satellite orbit-crossing events every day, and the accumulated drift is the primary cause of their orbits becoming close enough to require action. An anticipated collision that requires course correction is as close to a no-fault scenario as there can be.

> what would it take to convince you that this change really is being made for performance and security reasons, and not to hurt ad blocking?

It's a fair question, but there are several of things that would at least help convince me.

They could demonstrate that they have tried all other solutions that would solve the security issue.

They could demonstrate that the performance benefits of the change would be bigger than the performance benefits of ad blocking.

They could implement a more performant/secure API that still allows full ad blocking.

They could build ad-blocking into chrome (doesn't seem likely to me, but it would convince me).

I don't know if anyone was, but that's not the point at all - it's the fact that every year is record setting. It's not "next year will have rain", that's not a problem and it's natural, it's "next year will have the most rain we've ever seen". The fact that every year is record setting, hotter, wetter, dryer, whatever, that's the issue.

> a pendulum (A) held in the left hand over the right hand will spin in the counterclockwise direction due to the hyperspace energy vortex (B) emanating from the palm of the right hand. This vortex arises because human beings are hyperspace energy beings that live in physical containers located in this universe. The vortex might be considered a wormhole between space and hyperspace. Notice that the angular momentum vector of the vortex points up out of the palm of the hand. If the hand were spinning from left to right, then there would be a force exerted, as shown by the above equation, that would bring hyperspace energy into the right arm.

I see stuff like that and I'm out -- without the feeling of having missed anything.
Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.
Author here, I would partially agree with that.

I'm not going to mechanical keyboard conferences, lubing my key switches and I had no idea what a sound dampening o-ring was until I read the parent comment.

I haven't gotten super into keyboards because I haven't been negatively effected enough for me to go down that rabbit hole of finding something top tier that covers everything I want to do in a better way with 0 compromises. For example, typing into a terminal with 50ms of input delay is a horrendous experience so that lead me down a path of researching, finding and writing about monitors and terminals with extremely low latency which I think is safe to say is enthusiast level.

The same goes for audio equipment. I have a 3,000+ post comparing a few headphones, going as far as analyzing frequency ranges to help find the most neutral headphones so I can hear back my voice accurately while recording courses.

And for mice, back in the day when I played games more seriously I would put custom teflon pads on the bottom of the mouse to make it glide more smoothly and consistently.

But with keyboards. I am satisfied with a fairly low noise, tactile feeling keyboard that doesn't skip or double press keys so I can chug along at ~80 WPM as a non-home row typist. I'm sure there's better, but the pain just isn't there to go deeper down the hole.

Funny that I say C is not a subset, while this says C++ not a superset.

The Modules Mirror and the Checksum Database are governed by this specific privacy policy: https://proxy.golang.org/privacy

"go env -w GOPRIVATE=*.corp.example.com" was added to make it as easy as possible to configure private modules. If the environment is not set up, just the name of the module will reach the Google services, it will not be published, and an error will be returned.

Anything else would have make it possible to bypass the protections of the new Checksum Database (https://golang.org/design/25530-sumdb), a state-of-the-art authentication system that provides auditable proof that the operator is behaving honestly.

For an example of why the Mirror is valuable, beyond the 10x performance gains (depending on number of dependencies and connection latency) and security gains from not using git on the client, look no further than git.apache.org, which has been down for days breaking a number of builds (https://status.apache.org/incidents/63030p4241xj).

I really think this architecture brings together the best of the decentralized module ecosystem that Go had (with its lack of regularly compromised registry accounts, and no mismatch between code and package origin) and the centralized registries of other languages (with their better performance and reliability).

Particularly proud of how the Checksum Database provides even more security than the centralized registries (because it's cryptographically accountable for its actions, while registries can sign anything they want) without requiring authors to manage keys, register an account, or change their workflow at all.

[Note that I work on the Go team, and co-designed the Checksum Database. But of course I don't speak for the company.]

EDIT to add: I should also mention that the sumdb allows the use of any untrusted proxy, easily configured with "go env -w GOPROXY", for users that can't or don't want to use the Google provided one. The proxy can also opt-in to mirroring the Checksum Database, in which case no user requests at all need to reach the Google services, while still providing all the integrity guarantees that proxy.golang.org users benefit from.
Yeah like RDRAND, but not compromised :P.

Suddenly after I read what you typed about RDRAND it clicked to me - you must never fully trust the hardware. Even if you TRUST the HW RNG, what is the harm of combining it into a broader RNG (assuming you know what you are doing).

It's both. Torvalds initially fixed the licensing information as "GPLv2 only" due to uncertainly; he simply wasn't comfortable agreeing to license his work under some unknown future license. While GPLv3 was being drafted, he publicly came out against the anti-Tivoization provisions.

So I guess it's correct to say it's still GPLv2 because it's always been that way, and getting agreement from all contributors to change it (if that was even desirable) would be prohibitively difficult. But it seems like the question was actually trying to get at why Torvalds (et al.) don't like GPLv3.
Very optimistic...;-)

Can I humbly suggest a few more “detectives with literary ambitions” you may or may not know already?

Manuel Vázquez Montalbán’s Pepe Carvalho is a survivor of Franco’s purges, solving crimes and describing recipes in late-1980s Barcelona. (Spanish)

Andrea Camilleri’s Salvo Montalbano brings justice to the decadent and complicated Sicilian society of today. (Italian)

Both spawned several books, and have been translated to most languages at some point or another. Both draw a lot from Simenon, but have their distinctive styles (Camilleri in the Italian original uses a pidgin dialect that calls to Gadda and Joyce; and MVM is obsessed with food and politics).
For the threading difference, do you mean that Rust needs 'normal' threads plus async/await support, but Go can just lean on its built in concurrency support for both cases? i.e. Go threads instead of explicit async style code.

Rust doesn't really introduce breaking changes. There is just a lot of cognitive power required to keep up with everything, which can make it hard to read other people's code, or know which is the 'best' way to do a thing, etc. People who disagree with this may simply have more cognitive power/time to devote to keeping up with everything in Rust. I have a day job in an entirely different universe, so keeping up with Rust is hard.
It's so that you can have a seamless module version checksum [1]. The checksum in proxy ensures that you don't "trust on first use" whenever you update a module.
