Somehow I doubt that future generations will think that capitalism has much to do with any mitigations of the climate change catastrophe it spent the last fifty years charging into.

A society that cooks itself in its own gasses is obviously sick. Healthy societies don't charge headlong at their own destruction. It's an obvious failure of thinking, organization, and culture.

If capitalism is the organizing principle of a society, then capitalism is responsible for that society's problems. If they are small, then that is to capitalism's credit. If they are gigantic, catastrophic, senseless, and avoidable, but unstoppable due to systemic roadblocks, and cultural derangement - then there's no way to spin it - it does not reflect well on capitalism.
It is a public library and they are already putting it out a display open to the public (instead of keeping it in records in the back.) They are also making available other Milton stuff they have on hand such as a 1st edition of Paradise Lost.

I've not visited most of the top 10 on this list, but I wonder if what you trade for COL improvements makes up for the experience of living in those locations. (A complex question if you factor in commute times, community factors and personal interests at a minimum.)
Sounds like my signature in a nutshell. Started out quite legible back in, what, middle school? Now it's basically a scribble.
Amazon fires back at book publishers, says captions are fair use
It's perfectly on topic here. I would hardly call this shilling.

Pretty sure it solves that.
Video piracy is absolutely making a comeback. Most of the pirates I knew slowly drifted away from the scene over the last few years, just because Netflix was so easy and cheap. But with so many studios pulling their content, I keep hearing comments about people firing up their seedboxes again and getting back in with their old trackers.

It was a nice little golden age for a few years, shame things can't stay this way forever because of corporate greed.

Personally I think I'll cancel my Netflix soon. There really isn't much quality content anymore, there have been zero improvements to the recommender system despite users' griping, and the prices keep getting higher.
Would be cool to make as a PWA so I could use it offline
Well, don’t give me too much credit. I had to look it up because I was surprised to learn that Shakespeare and Milton were alive at the same time - but if I had been on a gameshow, I would have guessed that Milton lived and died hundreds of years before _Shakespeare_ was born.
> promote competition for the good of the individual

C'mon, this is ridiculous. There is no need to promote competition when competition already exists. Hence a monopoly (or cartel) being a necessary precondition of antitrust action.
I instantly put a permanent block on any site that does this, and never visit it again. So that's Mozilla done for me.
Maybe I am reading that issue incorrectly, but it seemed there was some back and forth on startup time penalties and what constituted a valid benchmark to compare the two systems.
The executive team email addresses that can be easily found are monitored quite well.
> It's just in the compiler

What's your objection to having the compiler emit "hand coded assembly?" It's not clear to me what axe is being ground here. (that's true for me in a big picture way here too. There's a very strong argument against gc languages being made here and I'm not sure if you're saying Oberon doesn't count as a gc language, or what.)

> Like orders of magnitude lower throughput to be able to make guarantees that you'd expect out of a desktop system.

Do you have a current citation for that?
The drones weren't targeting civilians. They were targeting combatants who were in turn targeting the government the US had set up to replace the Taliban. Would you rather Obama ramped up another ground invasion?

As far as doubling down on surveillance, Snowden's leaks showed that Obama shut down surveillance programs that might include Americans' data, including email envelope collection. He did not start any such programs.
Love this story and the inspiration behind it to create a simple server to deliver raw signal to those nostalgic for the web of yore.

Love it even more because I recognize Paul Ford's name from his article "What is Code?" [0], which is how I first became aware of him.

"What is Code?" blew me away when I read it, bringing together both software development and the humanities (writing) and I sent links to just about every academic I called "friend" to, well, not much response.

So glad to find out Ford's tilde.club experiment blew up in a good way!

What's your experience with gunicorn instead of uWSGI? I'm using haproxy + nginx + uWSGI but I'm wondering if gunicorn scales network more than uWSGI. My bottleneck isn't CPU, it's the amount of open connections uWSGI can handle at once.

Here's a trimmed down version of my web configs:

Amazon has multiple sellers with different shipping options and prices for most items, and always tries to show you the best "deal". This sometimes includes the likelihood that you prefer the two-day shipping.

The listing being offered to you father probably wasn't eligible for prime (not shipped by Amazon) so the price+shipping was lower than Amazon's price+non-free-shipping (and the third party was likely intentionally undercutting Amazon to be shown first). Once you signed it, it offered you the one with prime shipping because the total was cheaper.
If what they just wanted was ES6 syntax, why not use Babel? But I guess what they really wanted was to get off of their deprecated JS runtime (Nashorn).
I feel like this solves a problem which shouldn't really exist - In a perfect world a free trial really should be free and should allow you a choice afterwards to either cancel or continue.

That said I think the concept of using essentially fake bank accounts seems somewhat legally dubious. Surely when you start the subscription you are entering a contract with the company, so when the company is unable to retrieve any money I would assume the individual would be the one liable to legal action? Would make pretty bad press though so I can't imagine any company actually doing this.

The only reason I still use Amazon is because it's so easy to buy things using Bitcoin/Ethereum on it. I can get giftcards from literally hundreds of vendors (some even at a discount), or use a service like Moon which makes the gift card buying fully transparent (I just click checkout and scan the qr code with my phone), and I can buy almost anything on Amazon.

Everywhere else requires me to convert coin into USD and then buy things, which sucks.
It's actually getting to the point where they are competitive with DLSRs in some situations. The processing really is doing some pretty amazing things.
It's not that hard to imagine. Dropbox has talked about using Rust over Go for storage because cpu/memory efficiency was considerably better (4x if I recall) in Rust.

What specifically is the issue about retiring in a 'blue state'? If you mean cost of living, the OP might choose Needles CA or some place that is much less expensive than, say the Bay Area. Is there a tax you're referring to that is problematic (i.e. cap. gain tax on investment income in state) or just the hidden taxes (i.e. taxes on fuel etc)?
Printer hardware is usually sold at a loss or near a loss in order to focus profits on ink/toner sales. That's how you get the ridiculous DRM on ink.

Force manufacturers to allow third party ink and to disclose data collection and you get a much different, better for the consumer, printer market.
The author can just run an Ansible job and recreate it instantly. It's a stateless ec2 node. If they wanted to be super duper fancy they could make an autoscaling group to destroy and recreate it if it went down. No need for a replica. This probably isn't a lose-100K$-every-5-minutes-of-downtime business.
I have one of the original tilde.club accounts. It was a fun moment, when a bunch of folks re-experienced (or experienced) the first time the pleasure of a shared Unix system. Just like the Old Ones had in college. When finger was social media, and "who" worked, and if you were really cool your .plan was a named pipe. It worked because it was nostalgic and because its sysop Paul Ford is a first class human being. Never occurred to me it'd be an idea with longevity.
I don't know why you keep using the term "abuse". There's no statute in antitrust law preventing "abuse". There isn't even a statute defining "abuse".

Antitrust laws specifically address using monopoly power to restrain competition.

I get the "thieves don't pick locks" thing, but I really think it's sleazy as hell if a lock marketed as "high security" can be raked open in one second. That's a low-skill attack. In this case he didn't even have to rake it, because the locks were unshielded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ1_P5oqf6Y An unshielded padlock may as well be a warded lock like you'd find on a child's diary.

OSQuery was merely a strawman, I also mentioned the audit subsystem, but these are just implementation details.

I can not easily, in a supported fashion, track things like process executions or file interactions in a Fargate container. Maybe OSQuery could run as a sidecar, maybe auditd is actually exposed to the container, I honestly don't know.

The end result is that companies leveraging things like aws lambda or fargate are also likely giving up instrumentation that they would consider standard on EC2.

I don't think this is really controversial to say. You can absolutely justify to me that instrumentation is not worth 3rd party patch management and a nice ACL system etc.
You're buying it from a utility (water company) they're taking it straight out of the ground. It is an apples and oranges comparison. Most of what you're paying for is purification and the infrastructure cost piping it to your home/business, neither of which is true with groundwater.

Look, I am not defending these people, but to have a real conversation about this topic we have to at least get the facts right.

The law is outdated. It treats water the same as air. If you can get it on your property it is essentially yours. They're buying land, putting in a well-head, getting a cheap permit, and taking it straight out of the groundwater, just like a utility would.

The problem, as I said, is that the law is outdated. But if it was updated we also need to have a real discussion about farm/agriculture usage of water and what they pay/how it is distributed.

By the way in, 2017, 41% of South Florida's Water District's surface & groundwater[0] went to agriculture (1,076 million gallons). Another 41% went to the public utility (1,084 million gallons). Only 4% to industrial/commercial (116 million gallons). But yet we're talking about the 4%, not the 41%. Why is that?

Reasons to use Flutter/Dart:

* no (or less) native platform quirks/differences
* better programming model than Android SDK
* good performance

Reasons to use React Native:

* uses native widgets (if that matters to you)

My recommendation, write your portable app using Flutter/Dart. If that's not satisfactory, call that your Android version and write an iOS in Swift.

Do not fool yourself into thinking either Flutter or React Native will give you native app performance. It can be as fast but the pauses are in different places and users can definitely feel the difference even if they can't articulate it.
It needs to support wasm on the front and the back, as well as RISC-V on the back (and maybe on the front). When it does those things, it will be The Ring.
This is actually a semi-common problem in the Western world. See also: Spain and Britain. We've seem to hit a point where populations in some countries are split evenly and there is no unifying political will.
I think what Snowden did was treason and if he were to return to the United States he should be put on trial. There were better ways than defecting to Russia. A true patriot would have never defected and run.
> avoid a lot of allocation by embedding structs, passing interior pointers, etc

I can create a struct and take a ref to an interior field of that struct in C#, can I not? And if I wanted to badly enough, I could use unsafe code and take a pointer to the third byte of an interior field of that struct.
Really cool idea. Even after being a coder for 4 years, I still don't know internet stack and I'm greatly confused as to what backend/frontend to use whenever building a new product. Looking forward to using it as I have tons of small prototype ideas.

Why didn't you use an already common language like python, with rest of features? Is it difficult technically? I'm just trying to understand your choice.
Sorry, but no? There is no API. My service runs in a container. It knows literally nothing about Fargate.

I use an open source database on it. My clients use an open source client to talk to that database, and rely on DNS for service discovery.

The only AWS specific APIs I rely on are for my eventing system - S3 + SQS, which sit in a generic library that I could easily swap out for fsnotify, rabbitmq, etc. None of that has to do with Fargate.
I second this. It’s a small group of people but with very focused interests and experience. Really good group.
Same here. And actually you can make really nice money with it (maybe not top level engineer/manager, but certainly enough for a decent living), so it's not even entirely a matter of income. ;)

One of the definitions of addiction that seems to be common around addiction specialists is that an addict will chose behavior that negatively impacts their life in obvious ways.

There's a separate set of questions that have been asked and I'd still really like to see the answers be tracked down. What is it about some people that they can try some chemicals once and abandon them, while lots of other people simply cannot stop? Is it genetic, philosophical, or environmental?

If it's nurture, can we spread these tools around more widely? If there's a nature component, can we identify metabolic pathways and support detox?
Rust complexity is a bit overblown. I also revert automatically to it now if I feel like Typescript (Node.js) won't cut it, even for < 1K LOCs.

I may be biased since I've been using it for almost 6 years, but you mostly don't need to worry about lifetime annotations which IMO is the really foreign part if you are already comfortable with functional languages, especially since the compiler is unbelievably useful.

Many well-known Rust crates also account for the majority of the best all-around libraries I've ever personally used in any language, and you can actually use them without a PHD in build systems thanks to Cargo.

Re-usability is superb thanks to traits (composition over inheritance) and generics, even if still immature domains tend to be overly generic for the end-user (HTTP networking for instance, though it's getting better fast).
It wouldn't be the best user experience if you had to wait 10 minutes for confirmation. Also by increasing the size of the blocks you increase the orphan rate due to propagation delay which results in needing more confirmations before a transaction is considered truly immutable. Bitcoin has to have a fee market to incentivize miners so that as block rewards decrease the cost of securing the network doesn't shrink as well.
If serverless were easier, more people would be using it. But it's not simple or straightforward. You have to learn new systems and conventions, it has a bunch of weird considerations depending on the use case, and most people just use it when they don't want to figure out what instance to run some periodic, one-off job on.

It's a niche, just like all solutions that aren't a single Unix process on a single Unix box. Even CGI scripts are a niche. You pick the niche that you know.
Competition free of biased incentives, but I thought that would be too wordy. Or simply products and services free of biased incentives would be fine too.
Thanks for replying. His actions certainly seem treasonous. He committed a serious attack against the NSA, the primary SIGINT conduit of the USIC and arguably the crown jewel.
The extension can always listen- it has a wake-word just like Alexa, Siri et al. "hey LipSurf" in the premium version. It can be used on a media PC/TV, you would just need to setup your microphone to listen from wherever you sit or wear a wireless headset.
Interesting to hear that your WeWork building isn't an especially social space. I know you talk about why you picked a dedicated office in a coworking space over coffee shops etc., but why did you pick WeWork in particular?

Basically you could spend as much as you wanted in $15 increments within 30 seconds of “checking in”. The system was full of holes. They lost millions of dollars to outright fraud. It took my team two weeks to architect fixes that we could have implemented in a month. They chose to keep their current dev and didn’t patch many of the exploits we found for literally a year.
Ok, but his crime was not hurting other rich people. He got in trouble because he did something that hurt non-rich people, and then other rich people got wrapped up in that. This is not an example of rich people only getting in trouble by hurting other rich people.

A Marine’s Battlefield View of U.S. Strategy in Afghanistan
Despite this article involving some things lucidly explained, I have trouble understanding the overall implications.

I think I understand that:

Pain and conditions have somehow become more common since, 1990 and the prescription of opioids has increased since that time.

So now we a situation where:

Some Patients and some other people are becoming addicted to opioids and abusing the prescription system as much as they can, also dying.

Other patients are still being under-prescribed. These patients may also belligerently demand more drugs, like addicts. One can say "they're not addicts, they just seem like it and they actually do need more drugs." This is "pseudoaddiction", near as I can make out.

The one thing I find very puzzling or annoying, is why anyone want to even use the very confusing term "pseudoaddiction" and especially be "against against" it. Jeesh. The situation seems like it could best be handled by saying "banish the jargon and look at the situation".
> If you want to argue that fat turns into water, and then water goes out as urine, then I agree with you 100% (though I'd argue it's not pure water)

I don't want to argue that.

This is the nonsense that I would like to argue against.

Okay, please tell me the numbers that you collected that you think prove this.

> Mayo Clinic: "These waste products — water and carbon dioxide — are excreted in your urine and sweat or exhaled from your lungs."

That link does not say when during the day it happens.

I'll also point out that I've been saying all along that fat waste is 15% water and 85% carbon dioxide, so if you think that disproves what I said, either you didn't read what I said, or you didn't read what you linked.

I'll also point out that you said:

"The reason I don't think the carbon dioxide thing is the primary method of weight loss is because of my tests, where your body weight simply does not normalize until after sleeping. I think the majority of the fat (by weight) comes out in urine."

Could you do some basic research please, and find a source which says the percentages of fat and water? I've conveniently linked one for you:

"So, for example, to burn 10 kilograms (22 lbs.) of fat, a person needs to inhale 29 kg (64 lbs.) of oxygen. And the chemical process of burning that fat will produce 28 kg (62 lbs.) of carbon dioxide and 11 kg (24 lbs.) of water, the researchers calculated."

Unfortunately, the word "popular" is ambiguous. It can mean either the most used, or the most liked. Given that they provide a useful service and have a free tier, it's almost certain that their 'popularity' (sense 1) is much higher than their 'popularity' (sense 2).

I worked at a company that used LastPass. The whole service was a complete train wreck, but I used it and therefore contributed to their ability to claim to be the most popular password manager.

That's not so. Many people are willing to and already make sacrifices but are also fully aware of the free rider problem in that people who pollute historically try to dump the blame on consumers.

If they want the status of being captains of industry or business leaders, but they don't come through on matters of serious public concern where they can make a difference, it's not wrong for people point out their hypocrisy. Why is it the responsibility of the least powerful people to sacrifice first before those who profit from the status quo inconvenience themselves?
That means that there were 175574 HTTP GET requests, but my guess is that if someone fast-forwards that that might trigger another request. So the actual number of views may be a little lower.
