If Microsoft is comfortable with microsoft.com despite the .com registry being appallingly run I don't see any problem with that, just as I wouldn't see any problem with Microsoft choosing to open a Microsoft store in the almost-abandoned decaying mall at the far edge of town whose only other tenants are a discount furniture store and a company that sells only a single item and never has any customers.

It's a mistake to separate out the certificate signing authority for different attention if it would be (as in DNSSEC) hierarchically constrained. Verisign can already screw up badly enough to cause Microsoft to lose control of microsoft.com or let somebody else have it. They've apparently decided they're comfortable with their capacity to mitigate that risk. Fine.
> bigger number, but that's because there is no (useful) standard library in JS.

I was thinking more about higher level libraries like frameworks.

> Datetime for example, there are loads of libs for that in JS, some of which are complete.
Ahm, and if you need to work with Timezones(not much fancy IMO) you still need an external library.

Bootstrap vs. Raising VC Money

Hey don’t look at my problem here, look over there!
I still remember when my pc would take 24 hours to compress a dvd to a high quality h264 mkv, sure you could squeeze it down with fast presets in handbrake but the point was transparency. Now I'm sure for most normal pc's the time to compress at the same quality with h.265 is the same 24 hours, in 4k, even longer, I'm sure h266 would take more than twice as long easily.

Early pc's had separate and very expensive mpeg decode boards just to decode dvd, creative sold a set, the cpu simply couldn't even handle mpeg 2. I know its hard to believe but there was a time when playing back an mp3 was a big ask, all these algorithms could be made long ago, but they would have been impractical fantasy. Only now are we seeing real partial cheated resolution ray tracing in modern high end gaming hardware now which is a good comparison, ray tracing has been with us for a long time, only hardware advancement over decades has made it viable.

It amused me that they claimed 4k uhd h265 is now 10GB for a movie, that's garbage bitrate, they always ask too much of these codecs.
I mostly agree with this. I've seen one valid and helpful usage of timers though: in Waze. Some things start automatically after some time, like navigation after selecting and address, or dismissing a notification. The time remaining is indicated on the corresponding button itself in a progress bar fashion.

Nest (Google) gotten rid of their API and are promissing to have a new API real soon now. It may not have the full features of the old API, the messaging hasn't been consistent, but they had suggested that APIs could be read only, which is limiting.

Meanwhile, they've added agressive captchas to the website, and are switching our their undocumented json api for an undocumented protobuf api.

Unfortunately, they seem to be the only smart thermostat that supports separate aux heat and emergency heat wires. I don't know for sure if my HVAC system actually treats those differently, but it's wired for it, and the previous system had it, so I'd want to retain that. (But please correct me if there's a better choice... I'm tired of not being able to use the hardware I bought to do what I want it to do; single stage heat pump, with 7 wires: common (c), power (r), heat pump (o), fan (g), heat/cool (y), aux heat (w2), and emergency heat (*). Bonus points if the replacement has a big mounting bracket, cause the nest one just barely covers missed paint ;)
Optimize the Kubernetes Developer Experience with Version 0
Thank you for the link, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I see the point that a single developer does not have to focus on maintainability so much. And if it works for him -- as it obviously does -- more power to him.

But for me, I do not think I am mentally capable to reason about my program if it has to many globals. If I can have as much as possible local, my mental model also can be local.

I am very new to gamedev, so this way of thinking may not be appropriate in the long run.
> YT normally doesn't recommend anything outside the limited few topics I have subscriptions for.

You might not have noticed this in the past, but they rotate through various topics that might be of interest to you and recommend them even if you've never searched for anything like it. They've always done this, there are talks on YouTube from them about it as well.
That’s the point isn’t it? At this point it’s hard to call it ‘mismanagement’. I have no credible evidence that the it isn’t pure malfeasance. If one wanted to unhinge the economic power of the US, destroy its international partnerships, divide its population to the point of war, and assault reality itself with the daily gaslighting chambers... I couldn’t imagine better execution than this.
>But you can't really equate the rule of law in both the countries in good faith

Yes you can't because Americans aren't subject to Chinese law. What do you think is going to happen, the CCP send their best assassin over to get you because they didn't like your cat video?

You've got more to fear from the FBI trying to get into your iphone if they suspect you of a crime than a foreign government that doesn't have any jurisdiction over you.

this is just plain old populism and sinophobia and has nothing to do with privacy
But at what costs... Even if everything works as expected, the mid to long term cost will be ridiculously high (in term of money invested/spent, reputation, etc) just to satisfy a support base.

Mobile App Development Process: Guide for Complete Project Plan
The word “Mobile app” is the most trending word in which we are listening for a decade. If you are a tech person or using the smartphone, you will be aware of mobile apps. If you are not, then this article will help you in getting knowledge about mobile apps and its creation.
Governments don't care. We've still had war and conflict even with the internet. Networks like Facebook have made it even easier to otherize and dehumanize people in the same country. I mean, ISIS actively used (and probably still uses) social networks to radicalize and recruit people. Algorithms feed you content that politically aligns with you and they drive you into more exciting and farfetched stuff to get clicks and attention. Social networks are not going to stop a global conflict.
Where I live there's also a law like that, but if you look a little closer you realize that it actually requires cyclists to maintain a sizable safety margin to the actual edge while keeping right.

Of course many drivers only know the general headline which leads to a lot of, uhm, "ad-hoc driver education"...
An additional challenge is that classes will, almost certainly, be scheduled based on "local time". Students attending from other countries may find themselves needing to significantly time-shift their studies.
Signal for sure has improvements it can do but it's not like it's unusable. Why you would think WhatsApp, who is owned by a shady company, run by a robot, is better than signal, is beyond me.
I think there are quite some software engineers willing to take a look at the code to test/validate/fix interesting research proposals.

When the right amount of info is shared a lot of cooperation is possible and challenging for both I suppose.

The added value for both is learning the other skill. Gaining a broader knowledge to engage further in career and life.

I'm not very familiar with Django thus my ability to provide relevant examples using this particular framework is limited.

However I direct your attention to the fact that Django docs make it very clear that to them in general each model maps to a single database table. That's quite Spartan even for an ORM, and obviously the point of a domain model is to model a problem domain, not to model the database.

There’s a quite a large difference between Google spying and China spying. When Google “spies”, users get more relevant ads. When China spies, people get into “Vocational Education and Training Centers” and other bad things happen.

Chinese spying is like 10000 times worse in practice.

But in theory, when dealing in absolutes, there is no difference, both are spies.
My point is everything they talk about is common to any type of enterprise software development. It’s not new. And then they slap on “microservices” at the end so they can claim to have written something new.

If they want to write something new then talk about the realities of how microservice development is different than regular enterprise software development. Not regurgitating the same old concepts and pretending it’s eye opening and new.
Thank China for that.
I wish borders and citizenship didn't really exist. Just pay taxes to your current locality. It should be as simple to travel, live, or work between any country and the U.S. as it is between any two U.S. states.
Application Configuration Management with Kustomize
Welcome to dictatorship. Government will now start to ban all kinds of apps they don't want.
It is election time in the US ...
I agree, this feels like the administration forcing universities to move back to in-person classes through economic incentives.

It's one thing to not grant any new student visas because international travel and relocation is iffy right now. And it's one thing to yank visas for international students that have gone home because of the pandemic. That's understandable. But this impacts students that are already in the US, have already paid tuition for the fall semester, and are essentially shoveling free money into the country.

It makes no sense whatsoever, unless as some kind of political bullshit play around "re-opening".

Among other things, this would have the unpleasant effect of making expressions like "0÷1" undefined, because the result could equal either zero or infinity.

Re: semi-organized DropBox folder: this came up here recently and might be of help to organize your files: https://johnnydecimal.com

I've been through a couple monolith to microservice transitions. I will say this... if you're monolith is slow because of it's design limitations, and your plan is to propagate those limitations across N microservices w/ all the overhead that comes with microservices, you're microservices will only be good at scaling the billable hours of the consultants who sold you on the idea in the first place.
This is just not an adequate summary of the decidedly mixed record of charter schools.

My kid, now 14, goes to a Los Angeles USD public school that offers specialized magnet programs for gifted and, separately, highly gifted, kids. The highly gifted program is quite accelerated and could accommodate some of the special needs you see evidence of in the comments here. (They are with their peers, not put into classes with older kids.)

On the other hand, the charter movement in LA, purports to solve the school choice problem, had a lot of encouragement from the political establishment (both R and D over probably 20 years). But — a lot of people in LA view the charter experiment as generally a failure and a distraction from actually improving the schools we have.
This overview (https://laist.com/2018/07/22/do_not_publish_-_ref_rodriguez_...) provides a good run-down of the sorry end of the "pro-charter" majority that prevailed in the LAUSD board.

The pro-charter board president was directing public funds to a private charter organization he was separately paid by. He had support of Reed Hastings, the Gates Foundation, and a host of well-meaning billionaires (and some not so well-meaning).

More generally, the whole concept of charters and a market in elementary education has fundamental flaws. Starting with the fact that there are no good ways for parents to really judge the effectiveness or quality of instruction.
But what is that money spent on? Are there more teachers per student? Because intuitively that's what you need to provide more individualized teaching. Here in Germany a lot of money is spent on using more computers in the classroom. Blackboards are replaced with computers, students get tablets. The number of students per teacher on the other hand is unchanged or growing.
This article is written in a highly conspiratorial tone, but the author does not appear to understand several basic things about coronavirus research.

> Evidence seen by The Sunday Times suggests that a virus found in its depths — part of a faecal sample that was frozen and sent to a Chinese laboratory for analysis and storage — is the closest known match to the virus that causes Covid-19.

This has been publicly known for months. It was published in biorRxiv in January and appeared in Nature in early February.[1]

> The virus was a huge discovery. It was a “new strain” of a Sars-type coronavirus that, surprisingly, received only a passing mention in an academic paper.

RaTG13 was one of hundreds of SARS-like coronaviruses discovered in these bat caves. In 2013, it was not considered a major discovery. One reason is that it is only 80% similar to the original SARS. At the time, researchers were much more interested in viruses that were more like 99% similar to SARS. Those viruses were studied much more intensively, and were the subject of numerous papers.

> What happened to the virus in the years between its discovery and the eruption of Covid-19? Why was its existence tucked away in obscure records, and its link to three deaths not mentioned?

The article never provides any evidence that these people became sick from RaTG13. There are hundreds of known SARS-like coronaviruses, and there are estimated to be thousands of as-of-yet undiscovered ones. The author of this article seems to be under the impression that RaTG13 is the only known SARS-like coronavirus.

> These produced a remarkable finding: while none had tested positive for Sars, all four had antibodies against another, unknown Sars-like coronavirus.

There was a study published in 2016 that found that 3% of people tested in a region of the countryside in Yunnan province had antibodies against SARS-like coronaviruses.[2] The sorts of spillover events described in this article are probably not uncommon at all. It has always just been a question of when a spillover event would lead to sustained transmission, instead of petering out.

The rest of the article goes on to try to suggest that RaTG13 leaked from a lab. RaTG13 is separated from SARS-CoV-2 by decades of evolution. It's the closest known relative of SARS-CoV-2, but not its ancestor. It's sad that tabloids are going after the people who have spent decades trying to understand these types of viruses, so that we would be prepared for new outbreaks.

Near a small town there was a small lake. Many people loved to swim in the lake. One year, a terrible accident resulted in harmful pollution spilling into the lake. No one swims in the lake anymore.

They haven't stopped swimming because of some better alternative. They stopped swimming because swimming conditions have changed and now it is a bad idea.

If section 230 is repealed and social media becomes too toxic for most people to use, of course people would not stop communicating. The vast majority of human communication doesn't even occur on social media.
It turns out for most complex analytical procedures there are a million more ways to do something wrong than right. That's why as much as I like the idea of publishing failures along with successes, it just doesn't make sense. However, as you mention, that doesn't mean that something is irreproducible... get the right grad student to show you how (hopefully they can actually comment on your procedure and help, but pharma/bio-chem is notoriously touchy). Like cooking, good experimental method and helpful documentation (recipes) take both temperament and training.

"Electron Band Structure In Germanium, My Ass", is a great example of this... I'm pretty sure they had a bad contact (using indium solder?) when they ran the experiment. When you're getting garbage like that... stop and see if you can reproduce a single result, and until you can, something about your method/equipment/model sucks.

> But with microservices you have more supposed independent interfaces.

You don't. You have more services accessed over a network, and might not have control over all services. But that's already par for the course in nonoliths.

If you were to refactor your components by changing classes around (say, a major version update in a dependency) while not updating the components that used them then you would also have problems.

That's why versioning and service discovery and HATEOAS are a thing.
The burj khalifa is vastly more impressive than the notre dame from an architectural perspective.

Any of the top 100 movies on imdb can stand its own as far as capturing the imagination and delivering enjoyment as any of the great symphonies of old.

Modern art is different, but it is not inferior. I would argue today’s art vastly exceeds any period in history in scale and imagination. And beauty, well, that’s a personal matter.

Would you argue traditional japanese sword forging produced superior weapons to today’s because nobody makes swords that way anymore?
Ideally coming from congress, then yes. There might be some valid arguments on national security grounds, but I personally wouldn't be comfortable having an all-powerful executive branch who could do this sort of thing unilaterally. Unless it's a wartime or emergency sort of thing.

But Americans largely gave up that seperation of power after 9/11 and executive power hasn't stopped expanding since then. It's perpetually an 'emergency'.

With this and the Huawei stuff, battling over advanced control over private networks for surveillance purposes, is a natural outcome of significantly increasing the power and influence of intelligence community. The kind of people who are naturally hyper-paranoid and see everything through a geopolitical risk lense. Which is helpful for a niche limited role but is ripe for abuse when their mandates expand.
If you have a pickup point on your way from work(or other places you go to) and the wait time is short , it's not much worse than delivery.
