I'm afraid I agree with a few sibling comments here, the documentation, although good, still feels a bit light for 2.0 (I recently set up a caddy reverse proxy on a legacy host, in order to be able to avoid an old version of openssl - and decided to go with 2.0 - then in pre-release).

That said, if your needs are simple, the examples are pretty good - a caddy file shouldn't have to be too many lines:

A taxpayer bailout solves a bunch of problems, at the expense of non-mortgage holders (AKA renters). It seems unjust to take from renters and give to property-holders, given that the latter are generally more affluent, and knowingly took a risk (by taking out a loan).

That depends on what word “unconstitutional” means.

Would people who originally wrote the constitution consider it unconstitutional for federal government to do it? Almost surely, yes: they wrote an explicit list of things the federal government can do, and if something was not on the list, it was understood that the federal government cannot do it.

Of course, in early 20th century this has all been thrown through the window by the Progressive era Supreme Court, and contrary to intent of the framers of the constitution, it became clear that nothing restrains federal government other than what a group of nine says, and even that is not always true.
> It seems unjust to take from renters and give to property-holders, given that the latter are generally more affluent, and knowingly took a risk (by taking out a loan).

Life isn't fair. Renters have landlords with mortgages also, and renters are just as challenged as homeowners currently (30+ million unemployed, 1/5th of the US working population). Broad policy decisions have some moral hazard to be deprioritized.

The goal isn't fairness, it is to return to economical equilibrium as rapidly as possible.

Oh, that's an excellent point! Let me clarify: I think both Hold and EasySpin are great mechanics in multiplayer Tetris.

Multiplayer Tetris is a very different game. Speed is paramount regardless of how quickly pieces fall, and players need to deal with garbage blocks. Thus, it makes sense for players to have more options and maneuverability.

However, when you put these mechanics into traditional singleplayer marathon mode, they become a problem.
Add the deferred payment to the back of the loan at the current Fed funds rate. That's currently 0.25%. Banks can borrow at that rate, so they don't lose money on this.

Cheaper than processing a default. Banks don't want to foreclose; unloading the real estate is a huge money-loser.

This seems like a pretty obviously planted pro-Amazon, anti-worker, propaganda
> And those are bad because?

I'm not against these things for warehouse workers at all, but just to answer your question, potential downsides include:

1. The money has to come from somewhere. Since Amazon keeps fairly small profit, this would likely come from passing costs on to consumers, and reducing Amazon's investment in future growth, which ultimately costs their future consumers. This increases cost of living for non-Amazon workers, and since Amazon is a good source of cheap items, it may disproportionately burden poorer people.

2. Where I am, Indeed.com says Amazon warehouse workers are paid slightly above average ($16/hour). If they were paid significantly above average, it can make it hard for small businesses to keep their workers.
You'd be a fool not to defer, if the deferral is at almost no cost. We have seen that people will take the financial path of least resistance (as happened with non-recourse loans in the financial crisis), so I wouldn't depend on payment by those who can.

Actually, Apollo program was a show of oneupmanship after Russians' successes. Sending actual humans was not necessary for successful mission but it was necessary to show superiority and bind USSR's resources.

USSR has already landed a robotic mission (Luna 9) couple of years before and sent pictures from the Moon (https://www.space.com/35116-luna-9.html)

From purely technical standpoint it would be much easier to develop comparable robotic mission. Most of R&D was to develop stuff that would not be necessary for robotic mission.

That of course, is only purely technical standpoint. Sending a bundle of motors, sensors and wires to Moon is nowhere as rewarding and prestigious as sending actual humans.
We thought of this! As francislavoie said, Caddy's retry logic involves switching to the Let's Encrypt staging endpoint until the DNS resolves properly. That is coupled with exponential backoff.

Hitting the staging endpoint as a test isn't a perfect thing, by the way -- it can help where DNS records are misconfigured, but for things like rate limits or other state internal to the CA server, switching endpoints will only give you a false positive.

So, better to not hit that problem in the first place, and to make sure your DNS records are configured properly first.

To me, the door of the building seems to be a pretty clear line.

For a fixed location job, the commute is fully under control of the employee and fair not to count as hours.

For variable location jobs like in construction, my view is that potential additional commute time should be compensated.
> The unique thing about Wuhan is the level 4 bio lab.

This is dangerous (and wrong) thinking. Wrong in the sense that, even if the conclusion were true, the reasoning is faulty.

There are many characteristics which, in hindsight, would look suspicious. One of this characteristics is the presence of a bio research lab. Other interesting factors would have been the presence of particular chemicals in the air/water, presence of certain types of bats, the presence of certain climate quirks, the presence of nuclear powerplants etc.

Let's say Wuhan was the only region which had a particular species of bats. Would you immediately conclude that the virus _must_ have come from that bat species?

You have a conclusion and are looking for reasoning to support it.

> Prices for goods would go up, but so would the demand for labor.

That's true, but no rational economist or politician believes that tariffs are here to stay. They're a reflection of Trump's ideas rather than a recognized modern economic policy. Even then, Trump's goal was to combat China's policies, not create a long term system of import and export taxes to protect American workers.

As a result, there hasn't been significant industrial investment in the US. That's one of the problems we've had with Covid: the PPE, medications, and ventilators are all manufactured overseas. We've had to retool our auto manufacturers to spin up ventilator production. You'd be crazy to invest in US manufacturing since the tariffs look about as permanent as a White House press secretary. You know you'll be undercut and put out of business in just a few years.
There are always deep problems when the problems are complex. This does not mean you take your time. Just as the Obama administration quickly moved GM through a Chapter 11 reorganization [1] despite objections by free market proponents and shareholders (to save GM workers' jobs), and drastic actions was taken by the Treasury and the Fed to save certain financial services firms (merging them into stronger entities) after the failure of Lehman Brothers during the 2008 GFC [2], complaints can saved for the history book on the topic. In the meantime, move fast to avoid suffering at scale.

I'm not saying you're wrong, by any means, but that you have to be comfortable with your solution being unfair and suboptimal. It is not the best course of action, but the least worst course of action.

> The Starship is NASA’s “ace in the hole” for landing people on the moon by 2024 because in its original configuration it needs neither the Orion nor the Space Launch System to take people and cargo to and from the lunar surface.

The SLS situation is starting to get more and more awkward. The Falcon Heavy already has a lift capability that's about 2/3 of the SLS's Block 1 lift capability, and it's a real, flying rocket that is about an order of magnitude cheaper. And that's if it's flown expendable. If Starship starts flying then NASA will be pouring money into developing a booster that is worse in every way.

They made a bit of a gesture towards "let's use Orion but forget about the booster for a while" [1], but then they realized they can't dock the Orion to a Falcon Heavy. So now, all 3 of the contracts they've selected for getting to the moon [2] are without SLS at all. Everyone knew SLS was more about jobs than it was about building a good rocket, and now it's becoming glaringly obvious. If SpaceX gets Starship flying I think we'll see SLS outright cancelled.

The Apollo program was a stunt. You can say that it took a man to land on the moon, because NASA wasn’t capable of building a robot to do it.

But the Russians were able to achieve this a few years later with their moon rover. Although it was more of a dumb luck gravity drop, and hope you don’t land on a cliff, and topple over and die.

Then, the Chinese were able to do it, with an even more sophisticated robot, that was able to make automatic landing decisions like a human. This is the ultimate moon lander.

Given the choice between humans vs. robots, I’d take a robot any day, to land myself on the moon. You don’t have to worry about pesky humans making emotional life or death decisions in the heat of the moment, and jeopardizing your mission.
Volumetric Rendering Part 1
Honestly, I'm a little irritated by the breathless tone of the article. There's a happy medium to be had between being blithely unprepared and building a doomsday bunker stocked for the apocalypse. Building up a 30-90 day supply of essentials is neither unreasonably cautious (e.g. for a major earthquake or hurricane) nor unreasonably expensive. For those who enjoy camping, much of the gear, like camp stoves or solar lighting, can even serve a dual-purpose in the event of a disaster.
I've had no issues with it in enterprise systems.

Note that it doesn't mean you can't use a framework...it just means prioritizing ones that feel more like libraries, and minimize their surface area.

I've worked in a shop that had 8 dev teams, all working on different systems, all in Node, using Express. We favored standardizing, but standardizing on something easily extensible. The middleware approach made including non-standard things really easy; if I needed to include some custom authentication library that wasn't written for Express, it was trivial to do it; a couple lines of glue was all it would take, even if it included some initialization.

Compare that to a Spring, say. I have to know about the framework's authentication interfaces, implement a comparatively large amount of glue in terms of those interfaces and configuration, and even more hoops to jump through if there's state I need to initialize first for the underlying library.

That's what I mean. I'm not arguing for or against standardization, but extensibility and minimal cognitive overhead in extending it.
Security Risks of Contact Tracing Without Tests
Ignoring the fact that the Contracts Clause binds the states (not the federal government)...

How is this different from Blaisdell, where the court found that Minnesota could extend the time needed to redeem a mortgage from foreclosure, on account of the Great Depression?

Under Kansas Power & Light, there's a three part test:

- extent of the impairment of the contract

- a significant and legitimate purpose behind the regulation, such as the remedying of a broad and general social or economic problem

- reasonable and appropriate for its intended purpose.

Point #2 is a slam dunk, and I think you could make the case, under #1, that the mortgage holder will still get paid slightly later, the time value of that money is very low (the yield on a 3 month T-Bill is a comically low 0.09%), and there are programs to tide over anyone who might be in a bind.
I don’t know why you are trying to convince me or why you think providing figures will change the fact that a large portion of the country feels one way. You can’t argue your way out of that fact.
> The obvious problem is this is the most expensive of all solutions.

Is that actually true? The company isn't paying people to maintain their home offices. Any day where everyone works from home is a day where they don't need to have cleaning staff, food services, etc. come in. It may seem inefficient to have the building sitting there empty, but relative to having people there (and not relative to having no building at all), it's probably a net win.

I think the only answer here is to stop clinging onto this 'life' you have.

The optimism you're seeking comes from looking forward to today, right now. Right here, right now.
Everything is the present moment. If you do not find yourself in the present moment - this could be due to the weight of money, weight of the future, weight of obligations - then abandon it all.

You don't need anything. Just reclaim the time that is yours. If you have enough runway for a year, that's all you need. Think about it. Would you rather have 20 more years of this 'hint of dissatisfaction', or just one year of bliss? If not bliss, at least closer to what once was, where we all come from. Just people trying to have fun and not think of larger consequences.
