> So the natural progression here is that only big sites with their own CDN solution will be fast?

No.

This is about disabling cross domain caching. Which rarely has a cache hit already by now (see many other posts on this site).

> "rely on a large service to actual host your content for you"

This is the case anyway even with cross domain caching as the source you cache still needs to have the exact same URL including domain. The cross domain only refers to the site loading the resource.

So e.g. `foo.example/jquery-3.2.1` and `bar.example/jquery-3.2.1` where never treated as the same at any point in time. The only think changed is that if `foo.example` and `bar.example` both depended on `cdn.example/jquery-3.2.1` and you visited `foo.example` before `bar.example` it might already have been cached when you visit `bar.example`. Through most times it wasn't as e.g. `bar` used a different CDN a different URL to the same resource or a different version.

So this change doesn't really affect small sites more then any other side. And the effect is generally negligible.

Culture wars are fought by tiny minorities, but they're fought over the large majority.

The issue of gay marriage in the US was fought mostly by progressive and social conservative activists, but the people they were trying to convince were those in the middle. The reason the progressives won is that the middle became increasingly convinced that banning gay marriage was immoral for the government to do.
It's worth noting that when Apple first developed the (early versions of the) current desktop environment, they were not just not a trillion-dollar company, they were still considered to be "doomed" and on their way out by a large percentage of those who paid any attention to them.
Exactly. I would much prefer a setup like that over our current rule that all cypress tests must pass before merging.

A better rule might be that at least one unit or e2e test was added or updated to reflect the change in the code, and that that particular test succeeds. But run all the others on master.

One advantage (or occasional disadvantage) of Cypress test before merging, is that there is someone clearly responsible for fixing it if a test fails. Problem is, sometimes the failing test has nothing to do with anything the creator of the pull request did. It's still a mystery how that's possible, but it happens. Hence my feeling that Cypress tests aren't very reliable. At least some of ours aren't.

I have talked with quite a number of former Uber drivers. And I've kept an eye on the declining amount Uber drivers are making, and how Uber has shifted much of their business risk to the working poor.

You might consider that an Uber driver is not going to be frank with an Uber customer about how shitty Uber is. Or frank with themselves, honestly.

Best area of ML for remote work?
I've been studying every ML MOOC under the sun the last year or two, but I'm (for personal reasons) committed to remote work.

I'm now wondering which areas to dig deeper into. For example RL sounds fascinating, but I'm not sure remote client opportunities would exist so much in it. What would serve me best for this kind of remote freelance work? NLP? Classical AI algos? Times series and LSTMs? CNNs? Or something more like datascience and data wrangling? Any thoughts?

And if anyone reading this is thinking of doing this, really research the taxes.

If your company gave you any stock related compensation, California wants a piece of those too, even after you've moved.
Sometimes I wish I had a way to block Twitter from my life completely. I don't even use it, but I wish for an AdBlock-like tool that would:

- block Twitter content in news articles

- block links to articles with Twitter content from ever being shown to me in the first place

Most news articles provide little value to my life anyway, but I don't think I've ever read an article referencing Twitter quotes that was worthwhile.

While I'm dreaming, if I had any way to filter all the news about what public figures say, and keep only the news about what they actually do...

> As with everything else in a capilistic economy: because there is profit to be made.

As someone who lives in Toronto, Canada where there's a lot of condo construction, and little-to-no purpose-built rental construction, the "capitalist economy" has decided that rentals are generally not worth it.

At least when it comes to builders: plenty of people are buying condos and renting them out instead of living in them, but apartment blocks seem to be not worth the effort.

After seeing infinitown[1] posted, and seeing the confusion of many people outside the US about the extreme grid layout - I thought I'd share one of the most ambitious, and specific grid cities I've ever encountered.

6th Grade US, early 70s. We made fake checkbooks, we were given an income, had a small school store to spend it, had to balance checking and savings accounts. Learned about S&P 500 and looking up stocks, only avail. in book form at the time. I cannot fathom why parents don't require more from their schools - oh wait, yes I can - I moved from a city to rural where the hate for intellect(uals), schooling, academics is still palpable and stated, preferring instead comic books, baseball, football, truck cult, farming, hunting days off is prevalent, as stated to me directly.
Another ELI5 by someone not at all qualified to understand this stuff (I.E. a layman).

We know from measurements of the leftover energy (CMB) approximately how long ago the big bang happened, and how fast it appears to be expanding. Our most favored model of the universes physics, General Relativity makes certain predictions that mostly match up with reality up until you get to galaxy scales at which point they start to diverge. In order for our measurements to work under General Relativity our galaxies need to be more massive than they appear to be based on all the stuff we can actually see in them. This needed excess mass is called dark matter, but even with dark matter the universe appears to be expanding faster than it should. The theory proposed in the paper is that the universe as whole isn't actually expanding faster, but due to a quirk of where we are in the universe it only looks like it is when we look at nearby galaxies. Unfortunately for that to be true we would need to be in a void in the structure of the universe which General Relativity predicts shouldn't be possible.

An alternative theory of universal physics exists called MOND. MOND is similar to General Relativity, but rather than solving the problem at the galaxy scale through theoretical dark matter, it instead just assumes that gravity works differently once you reach a certain cutoff point. This aligns with observations of actual galaxies (not entirely unsurprisingly because the cutoff point was chosen in order to align with those observations) without needing dark matter to exist. From the perspective of the paper there's another nice property of MOND which is that simulations based on it allow for the kind of void to form that the paper predicts would be necessary to explain the locally observed expansion.

Basically, General Relativity can't explain how fast galaxies spin without Dark Matter, nor how fast the universe appears to be expanding. MOND combined with our galaxy being in the middle of a big void can explain both. Both theories, General Relativity and MOND require a certain amount of hand waving in order to align with reality. MOND requires a bit less but is highly suspect because it's solution is basically "gravity just acts different sometimes" which is suspiciously close to "it's that way because it is".

As for the actual math involved in all of this, beats me, we'll need to wait for someone who's actually in this field to look it over and explain what if anything is wrong with it all.

I did something similar with Wireguard but wasn't able to get it to do what I need. I'm trying to give my VPS access to other computers on my home network. The Pi and my VPS can communicate with each other just fine. For some reason the pi won't forward any packets from the VPS, they just seem to drop.

Agreed. No criticism about what this is so far, just excitement about the stuff that could be added. Great work!

Most insects are very prone to dying of dehydration if their exoskeleton is pierced - it's how diatomaceous earth works. My best guess with how vacuums kill insects is small nicks to the exoskeleton from flying debris causing eventual death. I've never vacuumed up an insect or spider and seen it come out alive.

You're basically describing the difference between a free market and a regulated economy with extra transaction costs. Harnessing people's natural tendencies gets results that bureaucracy does not. the choice isn't chitchat vs wiki, it's chitchat vs wiki vs do nothing because maintaining wiki is to much work and typing is slower than talking.

> is that only big sites with their own CDN solution will be fast?

No, not at all. This change gets rid of global caches.

A) Your site caches will still work, they just won't be shared across sites. A cold-cache load of Gmail will go through the exact same process as the cold-cache load of your site, and subsequent loads of both sites will be just as fast.

B) If your site's initial load time on a cold cache is unacceptable, you are already making an engineering mistake and you need to cut back on the Javascript.

C) Most large sites are already choosing to bundle their own libraries or serve them from dedicated CDNs instead of trying to coordinate with each other to make sure the same resource location is used across multiple websites.

D) Even in a theoretical world these changes were going to make the web a lot slower (and reminder, that world doesn't exist), the risk of library domination in that world would be larger than the risk of website domination. Imagine a world where you write a competitor to JQuery that's just as good, maybe even smaller and more efficient, but nobody uses it because "we have to use the popular library that's likely to be already in the user's cache."

While we're on the subject of D, the fact that nobody says that -- that we don't see smaller JS libraries thrown aside in favor of libraries/versions that are more likely to be already cached -- is strong evidence that your site sharing a JQuery cache with someone like Google or the NYT is not an important performance concern.
Especially since WebGL doesn't have mapped buffers[0]. There's no way to do asynchronous texture (aka data) uploads. At best, you can read back asynchronously but even that's not guaranteed by the spec[1]. Async data transfer gives much higher throughput for sending data and retrieving results.

This is especially painful on mobile where GPU and CPU memory are the same physical RAM, and the "map buffer" operation corresponds to an actual instruction to the memory controller rather than synchronizing memory across PCIe lanes.

I think we're thinking of different use cases.

For me, all my personal machines have TOR installed anyway and I mostly want public address for gluing things together or being able to access things remotely. It's definitely not usable for everything you normally use domain names for (like showing people the menu at a restaurant.)

I will point out that you don't need to do any extra work to access web servers on TOR at least. I think cloudfront (and I know others) run a proxy that lets you access them with just a normal URL via a web browser. Most OSes need no extra configuration for .local.

Doing so would ignore the sometimes dramatic effects survivors experience - from the people I know alone, this ranges anywhere from previous marathon runners still huffing and puffing their way up stairs despite having been otherwise symptom free for 6 months, to a man who survived by the skin of his teeth and it now appears will never be able to taste or smell again.

I don't know about you but I'm feeling like simply "getting to a stable number of daily deaths" doesn't cut it. Also, that statement alone doesn't make sense to me - a fatality rate of 50% could potentially maintain a stable rate of daily deaths... Of thousands.
This is also how criminal mobs operate, in terms of protection money, extortion, ransom, etc. The underlying economic principle is the same ("gee, sure would be a shame if this expensive thing X were to break..."). Beware of relying on this as the only reason to justify the cost.
