Customers running js on your server in a Java VM doesn't sound very secure. I could be wrong but when I see Java I get the suspicion that user code and privileged server code are running in the same process. Of course they could have a properly sandboxed java process and are just using Java because that is what they are familiar with.

Exactly, which is why it's such a valuable concept for opioid marketing. The line between addiction and pseudoaddiction is vague. Doctors can't judge it; nobody can judge it. Only the patient -- and the patient wants the drugs in this scenario.

> Wait, how about Docker / Kubernetes / serverless? Nope. As you gain experience, you know when not to over-engineer. I actually did some early Docker work for my previous employer back in 2014, which was good for a mid-sized billion-dollar startup but may be overkill for a one-person tiny startup.

I really think the key thing here is familiarity. K8s is a bit different, but certainly in OP's position I (personally!) would be more comfortable with an image for each component. Perhaps a machine image rather than docker, if each component is going to be on its own machine as described, but something at least semi-reproducible for sure.

When I'm working on something alone, and particularly if on and off and not for several hours every day I need to be able to come back to it in a sort of self-documented state that doesn't leave me scared to touch anything lest it crumble.
> You've probably seen the Factory<Factory<NaturalNumbersFacade>> joke somewhere, real live enterprise software is sometime like this, but unironically.

I'm sorry, this is a terrible argument. That's definitely not a common usage of Generics.

The common enterprise OOP idiom that is mocked is NaturalNumbersFacadeFactoryFactory, which use no Generics at all, leading to a large number of classes.

Ironically, if one used generics to replace factories like you did in your example, you would be able to replace hundreds or thousands of Factory or FactoryFactory classes in an enterprise application with a single Factory<T> class. Of course, that would probably be pointless. There's a reason multiple factories exist in a program, even though there are ways to replace them with something simpler.

I get it that Go programmers don't want the language to be complex, but Generics themselves don't have to be complex. They solve a lot of problems in a simple way and are MUCH easier to use than ad-hoc generics made using interface{} + Reflection.
I really like this short article. It is speculative, but it describes a vision of the future that seems like a rational response to many of the problems we face today. Not everyone can work this way, and there will always be a place for physical workplaces, but we badly need an alternative and 5G is part of the solution.
I bet he doesn't understand that 5G in the millimeter wave bands will have an effective coverage radius of about that of a street light. At those tiny distances 1ms is possible.

But not implemented. ALL current "5G" networks are 5G non-standalone in which 4G does all registiration with the basestation and most of the work. 5G is just a bit of extra data channel on top.

As an experienced Java dev, I switched to golang for a few years and really liked it. Recently, I find myself on a "enterprise" job with Java. I really miss golang.

Boxed types? What a crazy idea that an int can be null. Just fixed a bunch of bugs related to that. String can be null? Just say no. golang's value types are much less error prone. You can go out of your way and pass a pointer to a string, but having to always worry about whether something is null in Java is a PITA.

The concurrency story in Java is also horrible. So much effort is required to achieve simple things. You're always having to make trade offs with the heavy weight threading model. Thread pools? What is this, the 90s?

With golang, I never once messed with the gc. Not once. We have a gc related discussion about once a week with Java.

And the deployment story. So simple with golang. So much extra work for nothing with Java. Just give me an executable I can run. How hard is that?
Agree with the first part of the above comment, but I wonder about the statistic in the second half.

I have seen it before and I always wonder when it comes up: If you take a flight with Emirates, is it considered pollution by Emirates or by you? What about the CO2 used to build the plane? Should you divide those emissions among everyone that flew in the plane, or should that CO2 be added to the company?

Pixel 3a does not support wireless charging. I've never had a phone that supported it so I don't know what I'm missing. After using Samsung phones in the past, I've sworn that I'll never buy a phone with that much bloat. Coming from Pixel 1, I have not had any loss in functionality. Only thing I can think of is that the battery seems to drain slightly faster than Pixel 1 but I don't have the data to prove it.
they don't seem to care. my wife went around to about four libraries in the bay area so she could get easier access to some books which may not be available immediately in Santa Clara, but are available in San Mateo.

My residence now has NBN as an option. I have decided to wait a year or two. Going for NBN is a bit of a gamble. My OK-ish ADSL connection is finally working without interruptions, and on forums people with NBN are talking about resetting their modem several times a day, coaxial cable connections need to be perfect otherwise it doesn't work etc. Sad really to miss out, but I am prioritizing uptime over speed. The UK got this right in the late 90's by connecting cable to almost every residence (IIRC).
I’m not a medical doctor, so correct me if I’m wrong: opioid and drug tolerance is nowhere mentioned or only once in the article, but seems one of the reasons behind this pseudo addiction behaviour in several described cases, no?

Another question that comes to my mind is: if uncertain or under circumstantial evidence, would it be morally more acceptable to point to someone’s addiction at the risk of letting that person really suffer?
I appreciate the info.

> Couldn’t we say the same about Google or any other tech company? Why should the universities be feeders for talent for private business? It’s ridiculous when you consider it that way. Why should Google benefit from a San Jose State University computer science graduate if the 49ers shouldn’t benefit from a UCLA student athlete?

I've been saying precisely this. The public is footing the bill for training employees for corporations.
The answer to this was meant to be Bitcoin, hence the title of the whitepaper "Bitcoin: A peer to peer electronic cash system". Unfortunately there is a lot of money being spent to keep that goal from being realized.

If you really want to see "cash on the internet" I would advise you to do some research and find the cryptocurrency that best resembles it, then help build it. It will be an uphill battle the whole way.
I'm sure that's a factor, but it seems unlikely to me it's the only one. All else being equal, going through a repetitive cycle of pain/craving and relief throughout recovery seems likely to encourage addiction as well. Which of course isn't to say that everyone who experiences that will become addicted, or that those who do won't skew toward those who are facing other difficulties in life, but from what I've read it does have an effect. And it fits my common sense, not that one should rely on that in absence of real evidence.
Stubby is another alternative, it uses DoT (DNS over TLS).

I considered signing up for the Readability Publisher Program. Then I read the Terms of Service (amusingly I just read it yesterday, so this is all fresh in my mind). There is no way in hell I could agree to those terms. It basically gives Readability the right to do whatever they want with my content (which they were already doing, even without my permission) and I would have to limit any liability Readability might have for doing whatever they want with my content.

Some gems from the Readability Publisher Program Terms of Service.

You shall not “modify, translate, or otherwise create derivative works of any part of the Readability Service”

You know, the exact thing Readability does with my content. Or are we pretending that Readlists aren’t a derivative work?

“You agree to hold Readability, its directors, officers and employees, harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any claim of copyright infringement or intellectual property misappropriation related to ANY WEB pages or articles sent THROUGH or processed through the Readability Service, the Readability website (readability.com) or through the Readability API.”

So basically if I sign up to collect money from Readability, I have to hold them harmless for ANY copyright infringement on ANY web page or article I have authored that is sent through the Readability Service. So if I wrote an article that is behind a pay-wall, and someone figures out a way to add that to a ReadList… Oh well. Nothing I can do about that, unless Readability decides to be nice to me and remove the article. But they’re under no obligation to do that. They could just choose to let people freely redistribute my content against my wishes because I signed up for their Publisher Program to collect money they decided to collect on my behalf.

And just to add insult to injury…

“The Readability Service are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the United States and foreign countries. Nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use the Readability name or any of the Readability trademarks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features.”

Nice to know that Readability is protected by copyright and trademark laws that apparently don’t protect any of my content.

So yeah. Good riddance to the Readability “publisher payment plan.” I look forward to the other exciting ways Readability will help great content flourish online.
Dont confuse laws with what's right and wrong. History is littered with awful laws in every country.

"Has the medical community and psychiatry in particular grown over-accustomed — even ‘addicted’ to overusing, academically endorsing, and clinically propagating, the proxy diagnoses of ‘pseudoaddiction’ and ‘self-medication’ to avoid dealing with addiction itself? If so, what forces have contributed to this phenomenon? Do doctors believe these constructs help them avoid heaping the criminalizing stigma of ‘addiction’ onto their patients? Do these constructs excuse doctors from dealing with addiction, when so many of us, and most detrimentally, psychiatrists, don’t know how to treat it, or can’t get paid for doing so, or, are so often accustomed to prescribing addictive drugs for a wide variety of indications? Have there been too many incentives, and too many effective marketing campaigns from corporate interests that manufacture and sell addictive drugs like nicotine, opioids, benzodiazepines and stimulants, that have over-inflated their medicinal attributes to doctors and the public, while minimizing their addictive downsides?"

A string of five consecutive sentences ending with a question mark.

This seems similar to the "journalistic" technique of ending a head line with a question mark. So you have plausible deniability about claiming "X", you are just innocently raising the possibility "X?" for consideration.

But the headline gets clicks because the human brain sees "X?" but remembers "X" and repeats it, making it conventional wisdom.

So this journal article seems to be using a similar technique. Putting "?" at the end of each sentence, but never answering the question with strong evidence one way or another, just introducing the claim to the reader, who will come away vaguely remembering "pseudoaddiction is causing doctors to over prescribe opiods."

Well, yes for opiates I believe that's largely true. But I will say that as somebody going through chronic pain and anxiety for the first time, I can definitely see how my meds for those respective conditions could lead to a dependency despite an otherwise good social/support network and job.
The idea, "bro", of a hacker being monomaniacally interested in "tech" is a recently-developed fiction. It's very difficult to describe, for example, the cypherpunk movement as anything other than "hacker" in nature, yet they did not restrict themselves to what a venture capitalist had to say about X or what that hot new processor could do; why should anyone else?

That idea, in addition to being historically and contemporaneously wrong, manages to be dishonest, too; you, too, are pushing an agenda--it's just one comfortable with the status quo.

> 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?

Like most things, it's probably a combination of genetics and environment. From what I've observed, it really seems like some drugs mesh with some brain chemistries and not others. Case in point: when I was a young teenager, I wanted to be cool, and I tried smoking cigarettes with the cool kids. I've probably smoked 50 cigarettes in my life. At no point did I ever feel the pull of nicotine. It just never did anything to me. That's surprising because I know a lot of people who quickly got hooked and can't quit even if they want to. I've also tried pot: it makes me terribly paranoid and is a sure fire way to ruin my day, so pot has negative appeal to me.

On the other hand, I was also in the rave scene for a while. I've tried stimulants such as amphetamines and MDMA as well as ketamine. Those drugs all had a definite pull on me. I had to take a step back at some point because I was using them every weekend and it was starting to take a toll on my work. I eventually realized that I was going dancing not because I liked it that much, but because I was subconsciously trying to put myself in situations where I would do drugs (early signs of addiction IMO, and I'm glad I noticed).

I think that when a chemical tickles your reward center in the right way, your brain starts subtly adjusting your behavior so you get that stimulus again. It will slowly creep up on you. If you aren't careful, you can lie to yourself, not notice what's happening, or not want to notice. If you're in a position where you don't like your life very much, it's easy to give in to that pull. I know that when I discovered party drugs, I was in a vulnerable place: I had low self esteem, my girlfriend and I had just broken up, I had very few friends, I was bored with my life, and I felt like going raving and taking MDMA was the only way I could feel connected with other people. The drugs filled a void in my life. They did add a lot of novelty and excitement too, and it took me a while to realize that they were making things worse, not better.
What do you mean by “they look to the tech companies that control the markets”?
Sorry - I did not attempt to come off as rude or unhelpful.

My point is his comparison of 14ms against his expectation of 1ms. That is not realistic, given the use-case being a speed test to [semi-random] provider.

There is a physical limit in play in these scenarios - being the speed of light in a vacuum and light refraction index (fiber). Simply assuming that due to the fact that 4G is "becoming" 5G you should see an order of magnitude less latency (1ms vs 14ms) is in my view, from a physics perspective, silly.

Even including the RAN (Radio Access Network), the majority of said latency to and from the throughput server endpoint is most likely NOT the result of delay on the RAN, but rather the physical distance (proximity) from the mobile station (MS, smartphone/handset).

That's not the question the thread is discussing (thankfully; "better" or "worse" languages is a stupid message board debate to have).
"Under-dosed" would avoid most of the trouble. If someone said "Maybe the patient isn't an addict, maybe they're under-dosed", anyone could understand this. Nobody would have philosophical debates about nuances between "under dosed" and "addicted", whereas it's no surprise people are skeptical when contrasting "pseudoaddiction" vs "addiction".

The author says "pseudoaddiction is as good [a term] as any other", but I disagree. Most of the trouble he describes could be avoided by using a more descriptive term. "Pseudoaddiction" doesn't even refer to the patient, it's about second-guessing a diagnosis, which makes it really difficult to contrast.
Yes, don't get me wrong, there are few things I would wish for more than this happening.
Thanks, neighbour!
Having worked in ad-tech for much of the past decade, I don't really like the idea of ads, but the reality is that advertising is much too effective to simply "go away." The article also conflates "advertising" with "data mining" -- the former is relatively benign; the latter not so much. The effectiveness of Facebook and Google ads are mainly due to (for the most part) information that was voluntarily handed over (likes, search history, etc.), not some evil rootkit.

And even though it sounds like a lot, 100 million dollars is a drop in the bucket. Consider that the top YouTubers make around ~$20M a year (this money comes largely via advertising). So your fund would barely cover the top 5. Also, the idea of lowering "the administrative costs of receiving payment for web content" seems kind at odds with a bureaucratic "Advisory Council initially made up of representatives from Coil, Mozilla, and Creative Commons."

I dunno', to me it just seems like posturing. No real solution offered, just some wishy-washy "feel good" proposals. At least Brave (which is my daily driver) took a hard stance against ads and blocks just about everything, while Mozilla just talks a good game[1].
