Exactly this. In fact, I’d suggest it’s a massive circular argument. A lot of the vehement ‘defence’ of Apple I see is usually in response to some outlandish claim being made against them, which is often made in response to a gushing anecdote of how great Apple are. It has been ever thus.

This is a bit more nuanced. There's no flat prohibition against founders and owners getting TNs.
For the uninitiated, there's a bit of a culture clash going on there in the background - not between the IETF and the ITU but rather between the Western groups that have brought up the internet and Chinese groups that are joining the tables now.

The IETF, ITU, IEEE and similar groups have their "social etiquette" and lots of unspoken agreements that people learn when starting to interact there, but the way these things work is not exactly culturally neutral.

This isn't as much of an IETF shutdown of the ITU, rather an IETF shutdown of a group of Chinese people and companies. The ITU isn't blind to understanding that the Internet works thanks to the open IETF processes, but the ITU also has its procedures, and that's how you get these proposals.

If you want to look at similar occurences inside the IETF, there's for example TTZ: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8099/

NB: this isn't the Chinese being "stupid" or anything - it's an impedance mismatch in culture. It needs to be fixed by all involved. (The particular "LS on New IP" proposal is obviously stupid, but - such proposals exist at, say, Cisco, too. They just don't make it out of there. That's the cultural difference.)
To understand better what's going on, you need to check https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/USCIB-508.p... and https://www.ietf.org/lib/dt/documents/LIAISON/liaison-2019-0... and then you will understand what's this about: China wants to abuse the ITU-T to design a new Internet.

Reading the spin at https://www.lightwaveonline.com/optical-tech/article/1664896... I am not sure how far fetched would it be to say that China is bribing the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group so eventually it can shake off the US yoke on such standards. Because this spiel basically casts the US in bad light and very diligently omits even the mention of China. As https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-14540-8_... mentions "according to many observers, economic globalisation and the liberalisation of telecoms/internet policy have remade the world in the image of the United States" although this paper argues against the hegemonic U.S. control of the internet, there can be little doubt China would love to strip away that control be it hegemonic or not.

Yeah they said they will return to the Moon or Mars (depending on the president) since Bush 1. That is almost 40 years.

So another new moon plan. Another Shuttle derived launcher.

Not surprising that nobody is getting very exited with Artemis.

The SLS and Orion can only be described as dead-weights on NASA since they are so incredibly expensive. SLS has been in development for over 10 years at more then 2 billion per year and it will not launch until 2022 hopefully.
Some of those things are addressed in my favourite markdown variant - multimarkdown https://fletcher.github.io/MultiMarkdown-6/MMD_Users_Guide.h...

The author has found a sweet spot between being very conservative with the original declarations and adding the missing functionality. It also comes with an amazing lightweight implementation written in C that behaves correctly: gets input from stdin or a file and passes it to stdout, without the -o flags that (e.g.) pandoc is using.

> Or do what we’ve done for millennia: make cheese.

Or do the next best thing as cheese making requires elaborate infrastructure, preps and a very refined skill-set (its basically bio-chemistry), which is to feed local livestock with it directly; when I worked in Bern I got the honor to apprentice for a day under one of the most highly regarded Emantaler Cheese Masters in the Country. My day started at 3am where I got there and began reaching out to the local livestock farmers by phone or email asking the list of regulars if they would be available to pick up the whey until about 5am while the cheese maker and his staff sterilized everything and got there preps ready. In addition to it being a sustainable practice I learned at lunch that he was also paid for this by the local farmers which helped him offset expenses and provide a very valued service to the community.

By 10am when the cheese wheels had already been formed and was in the brine we had 5 livestock farmers ready outside to come pick up ~3000 liters of whey to feed their animals and we just emptied the hose from the fermentation vat to their containers. It all just made perfect sense and moved me to try and model this in my bahaviour moving forward.

By my 2nd year when I went to Italy and ran the farm and the Kitchen in the agrotourism I worked directly with the owner/artisan Cheese maker (much smaller operation and herd) and he was just dumping the whey into the drain after production.

I told him I'd get a couple of chickens and would upcycle the wasted bread and whey and provide to provide them with feed in addition to the food scraps we had and could have egg laying hens producing in a month or two and would highlight it on the menu, as well as have another attraction for the patrons to visit before/after Dinner. By the time I left, our group of volunteer and BnB guest's food budget went down 50% because I was able to feed them and also sell them by the dozen to restaurant patrons at 5 Euros/Dozen. One of the front of house girls started to make nice woven baskets from straw and we included fig jam (that could be made for pennies) she'd make from the excess harvest.

I honestly think the real core issue is that we've normalized this expendable resource narrative to its furthest extreme, which the Earth cannot take any more, and its such that that only a generation ago your grandmother (if you're millennial aged) would be aghast at the sight.

The bigger problem is that these people then have entered office, or roles of supervision and created or enforce legislation that rewards that disastrous mentality and it keeps Food producers content (just enough) with subsidies that distorts all of this and has ripple effects all down the supply chain.
It's weird how both ReST and Markdown stumbled on that indentation thing. And ReST has the awkward header underlines, too. Both of those are annoying at the best of times and basically unusable with proportional fonts (and we're dealing with prose here, where there should be no reason to force people to use monospaced fonts if they don't want to.)

If I'm ever involved in designing a syntax like that, the first hard and fast rule will be that the user should never have to count anything, especially in relation to anything else.

Well because of that approach NASA lost the ability to do human space flight.

They literally couldn't do it, and the admired that they basically can't develop it internally without it costing 10s of billions.

So that's why the used the Commercial Crew program and that worked out for them.

The SLS is a good example, 10+ years of building at a cost far above 20+ billion until the first launch.
Oh! That's true. I think you have it a bit mixed up though.

- ANSI is the same thing as US, it's the one with a long left Shift and single row Return

- ISO is the one with a short left Shift, two row Return, and the [| \] key in two places

I've certainly used both throghout my life, it seems both are common enough that I never paid it much mind after first learning how to handle a computer during early childhood.

I just checked and out of the 5 keyboards in my home right now, 4 (laptops) are ANSI and 1 (standalone, my daily driver) is ISO.

If you track the vehicles every day and collect the location data, you can easily augment the Open Source Routing Machine to give you traffic accounted estimates.[0] Combined with some Kalman filters you'd get almost perfect estimates when live.

Of course, this is for a use case where you have similar routes every day, this allows you to really tune the Kalman filters.

I once couldn't convince Oracle planner to use the index at all. It was an index on the one-char status column and all the query had to do was to return the count of unauthorized rows. Almost always 100% of the rows were authorized, so no matter how many times you ran the analyzer on the table the planner remained convinced that the index was useless and opted for a full table scan instead, wasting minutes. I had to nail down the index with a hint.
Quite a few ISPs will not let you use IP addresses that do not belong to them.
> China wants to abuse the ITU-T to design a new Internet.

No. Chinese companies are trying to get recognized and running headfirst into a brick wall.

Designing a new internet is counterproductive to Chinese international sales of telco equipment and therefore also to building Chinese influence. And as far as domestic internet is concerned, they have a pretty firm handle on that already, without designing a new one.
I’ve used a lot of these tools, and I have to admit, Zoom is the best.

As for the Zoombombing, I can’t say that I am surprised. All you really need is the URL.

And all the other tools are like that too. Sure, you can require a separate passcode, but damn it, it’s like trying to figure out rocket science to enter the passcode.

1) you have to dial the number

2) you have to punch in the meeting ID

3) you have to punch in the passcode.

4) ERROR. You flipped it, and used the passcode for the meeting ID instead. Aargh.. frustration.

5) Forget about the passcode. Just let everyone in that has the meeting ID. And monitor if there’s someone unknown on the line.
I like this, it illustrates the concept nicely
Nice! Explorations like this are truly useful for understanding and maybe even for innovation. You might figure out new ways of expressing things that are unlike react, but solve particular problems better.

As a next step I'd recommend trying to add component-local state connected to the component's lifetime. This is essential when building larger applications out of abstract building blocks that hide inner workings. I expect this to be a nontrivial addition, but I might be wrong!

There's also one inherent data privacy problem in MVCC that I've been running into.

Suppose you have an app that lets people anonymously vote or comment on stuff, but only once. The vote in the DB must not have any connection to the person. So, you give the person a flag whether or not they voted already, and store the vote separately.

Now, you'd want to set both values in the same transaction for obvious reasons. But, since Postgres uses MVCC, the two tuples that are added to the database both contain the same transaction ID (XID), so there's the connection between user and vote again.

There seems to be no way to instruct postgres to "clean" those XIDs in any way. What we're doing now is periodically and manually updating every tuple in each affected table with dummy changes, essentially duplicating all tuples with all new XIDs, and then running VACUUM to delete the tuples with the old, potentially-deanonymizing XIDs. We haven't found anything easier...
Responses in order: I'm not sure I understand your question. There must be a US company acting as the O-1 petitioner/employer (except under very limited circumstances) and many of our clients use Stripe and Clerky among others to set up their company. This will depend on the founder's country of citizenship and qualifications but the default options (not including the country-specific options) are the E-1/E-2, L-1, and O-1 visas.
While it's an interesting idea, this only captures relative wealth. Places that have higher quality food as standard would be seen as less rich. It's much cheaper to get calories from staples such as rice and potatoes, but a lot more difficult to get it from protein. It's possible to survive on a diet of mostly carbs and little protein, but that can also make you more susceptible to malnutrition, especially if famines are abound.

Also, 3000 kcal per day means that everyone gets fat. The amount of intense physical activity you have to do for an average person to use up that many calories is on the level of modern athletes.

> One bit which I still hate is simply how imports work in Nim. My project pretty much has a header like file containing function and variable signatures which can be called from other files.

You mean how `import` works or are you using `include`? If the latter then I would strongly discourage you from using it.

As for the former, you can use `from module import nil` everywhere if you really want.

This way multiline properties are supported and I can also incorporate markdown inside the properties themselves.

> They're making progress in the industry, sure. But dominating it? In what sense is this true?

In addition to capturing most of the commercial market that makes sense for them.

They are NASA most trusted partner, for both cargo to ISS. They will be the first private company to fly humans into orbit.

They are by far the cheapest, and even the rockets that are in development can't really compete against their lineup.

They are operating the largest launch vehicle on the planet.

They are universally considered to be the global leader in rocket engine design as both their Merlin and Raptor engines break many records and did stuff people thought was not possible.

They are in prime position to capture the single most valuable space market, LEO internet.

They are clearly the dominant player in the industry, every other player has admired it. Russian are out of commercial launch, Europeans are spending 2.5 billion to develop the Ariane 6 (who already has problems finding missions), ULA is dropping both their Atlas and Delta rocket to have a chance against SpaceX, and they have a very clear strategy to focus only on military and NASA launches.

It's possible that the evaluations are correct because each country has its own requirements for the issuance of degrees and these could be less than corresponding US requirements. For example, a number of countries will grant bachelor's degrees based on 3 years of education. They could try another evaluation service because there can be variation among services.

Why do these articles always pretend to be so know-it-all? I really don't like the explicit statement that "Markdown got it wrong", leaving no room for debate. For everything that Gruber supposedly "got wrong", a lot of arguments can be made for why Gruber got it "right", the author often explains that himself. That means that a lot of this is subjective.

This library isn't meant to have full parity with React, but it's a great example that illustrates how simple a naive VDOM diff/patch is to implement.

That said, this is missing a lot of essential optimizations that libraries like React make. For example, key and type matching, batching updates, scheduling updates, and other stuff that isn't immediately apparent without reading the code.
