Couldn't the software simply fetch the token and display it to the user for manual input? It seems like the software's automatic use of the token is somehow breaking part of the DMCA. Is it actually illegal to display returned data from a web request? Is the manual input of "keys" legitimately a possible loophole? Did any of the early DVD rippers require manually adding keys?
I was just looking into optimising a large web application.

I told the customer that using a caching layer such as a CDN would help paper over the worst of the inefficiencies in their application and the network stack.

That was true! The download times halved.

However, benchmarks with F12 developer tools showed that while downloads reduced from 200ms to 100ms, the overall load times were still seconds, of which about 50% was actual CPU time.

(This is typical of large, complex sites built by non-experts or organisations where performance is not a primary concern.)

Web sites like these perform very noticeably better if you have more CPU cores or faster CPU cores.

Essentially, CDNs are easy to deploy and 5G provides nearly gigabit download speeds, so the bottleneck has shifted back to the CPU for a lot of the web.

>By presenting "both sides" equally in many contexts

This was the mantra of the new atheist/skeptic movement of the early 2010s - that it wasn't worth to present the other side because the other side is just wrong. Given how this mantra is applied today where 'the other side' should not be heard from or platformed or is just plain evil, I'd rather hear both sides, even if that means I get to hear about creationism or climate change denial.

I don't want the media or tech companies to be the arbiter on what is and isn't reasonable to discuss. Having Jack Dorsey or some intern at some fact check org decide for me what is and isn't reasonable is much worse than merely hearing from a creationist why creationism should be taught in science class.
First person consciousness is just a fundamentally different thing than any third person property of reality such as matter or energy or electricity. These sorts of ideas are just category errors, like trying to determine what number 1 tastes like.

> IIRC, if the public unanimously supports a particular initiative, it has only a 30% chance of making it into law, and it's more than double that if corporations support it.

That's obviously not a set of statistics that is possible to directly observe; such a conclusion is only possible through a model dependent on extrapolation which assumes that a relationship holds outside the observable range. (And it's also somewhat incoherent, as both corporate decision-makers and legislators are subsets of the public.)

The evidence just doesn't support your claim that Facebook predominantly censors content from the political right. Facebook produces disproportionately more engagements for right-wing sites[1].

I think an improvement to SQL would be for insert/update/delete clauses to require a where clause and allow for something like 1=1 if you really intend to hit all rows. A safe but even more invasive would be requiring an end to the were clause as well (to prevent selecting a few but not all constraints).

As I already said in another thread several days ago, not quite. For most videos, yes, you do a request to https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=... and there are links to files and adaptive streaming playlists. But then there's stuff like VEVO music videos, and those have an additional layer of protection in the form of some signature IIRC that you need to add to those stream URLs to make them valid.

Perhaps the opposite would play out: Previously low cost of living locations will rise in price to match the current high CoL locations.

Reality will probably be somewhere in the middle.

"No code" as a term sounds like "serverless": There's a blatant contradiction in the terminology, but if you point it out, people begin to snicker up their sleeves at the person who reads the words as if they were English.

There's definitely a place for a la carte pricing for server-based software ("serverless" which of course includes servers, you silly person) and there's a place for very high-level code in domain-specific languages to solve immediate business problems ("no code" which of course includes writing code, you silly person) so just learn the shibboleth and try to avoid sounding silly.

I think in the last two years the auto industry has come around to the idea. Electrification solves five problems for them. Solves mileage regulations. Solves pollution regulations. Solves global warming issues. Simplified vehicle design since electric drive trains are simpler and more flexible than internal combustion ones. Finally because they are more reliable also solves warranty issues.

At this point what's not to like.
Thanks for the link, it was a very nice read!

The author wrote Ninja initially as a weekend project. I've written a small build system like that as well, but I think I am the only person using it though :D funny to think that your weekend project could've accidentally become something widespread like Ninja (used to build Chrome, Android, Swift etc).
This is not disrespectful. Even though the current case is not about murder, that old story should teach you that you should care about other people, not only about yourself, otherwise it may eventually turn out bad for you.

And this is not just a product. It is a monopolist having huge influence over most of the population (who mostly cannot customize anything and has to suffer).
> I’m sure it would look good on a designers portfolio if they did the design/branding for a project like org mode.

I can't think of a more challenging "client" to take on than a decentralized group of engineers. Classic ways to build your design portfolio usually centre around small businesses, community groups, events and non-profits because they have clear needs that are easily served by design.

Another place where designers play is with open source/license fonts, icons, design systems etc. which makes sense because they are designing things for their peers.

We had an admin in charge of our storage. He had worked with our old vendor's SAN for years, then we got a new SAN. Trained him/certified him etc. He "accidentally" shut down the entire SAN. That brought down the entire company for over 9 hours.

Fast forward two years later, he screwed up again and caused a storage outage affecting about 1100 VMs. Luckily not much data loss, but a painful outage.

Then a month ago, he offlines part of the SAN.

Some people never learn, and recognizing this early is usually better than letting someone continue to risk things.

I'm basically operating with the assumption that with the expansion of programs like this, enough tech workers would be willing to leave high-COL tech labor markets to reduce the average tech worker pay nationally as NYC/SF are no longer hyper-competitive, but not so many as to meaningfully reduce the cost of living in those areas, especially in NY where the COL is driven by many other industries.

The end result (as I'm imagining it) would be that these new national-average tech salaries can still provide a very comfortable living in low-COL areas, but are no longer comfortable in high-COL areas.
This bit didn't make a lot of sense to me. SRAM is routinely the MOST optimized and MOST worried-over aspect of silicon layout. SRAM cell architectures get hand-optimized carefully years in advance of any process improvements. They aren't just logic that gets spit out of generic tooling.

So while it would make sense that a new process would have new design rule that didn't map well to older EDA tooling, it's harder to see that argument holding for SRAM. If SRAM isn't scaling, why is general logic?
Facebook's complaint about user privacy is really a red herring. I am sure that someone is worried about negative stories written based on the data collected and tasked another person to shut it down in a way that makes the researchers look like a villain and Facebook looks like a hero.

The conversation primes you to notice the ad, which otherwise you would ignore and take no special note of. Do the same thing but in writing, near devices that have no video input, and you are likely to get the same result.

"Now tell me, do you have Apple's 20W USB-C charging brick to use with this? It doesn't come with a charging brick either, and to get the advertised speeds then you need to use that brick. Literally no other charging bricks will get that speed."

Here's what's actually true:

Any USB-C charger with a port on it capable of 20W or higher (including all extant USB-C Mac chargers and all extant USB-C PC chargers) will drive MagSafe at full power, and the author probably knew this, but it's inconvenient to acknowledge it. Such chargers are extremely common.
The wikipedia entry is a bit of a hit and miss, but in general "relativistic mass" isn't a concept that is used, in fact many SR courses don't skip it per-say but don't call it that way.

The point is if you apply any of the relativistic momentum formulas to photon you will not get a sensible result, basically you'll either get 0 or 0 over 0, same goes for other mass related things in special relativity such as center of momentum and center of mass also break down.

The "mass" of a photon doesn't come out of special relativity, and trying to calculate it using SR will not work, photons have linear momentum this comes out of Planck's law and the photoelectric effect.

This is a good video that might explain the concept/confusion when it comes to relativistic mass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJauaefTZM

It could always end up having the opposite effect (over a period of time, anyway): the reason NY and SF became high cost of living was because everybody wanted to move there because that's where all the jobs were, in a vicious cycle. If, say, Manhattan loses its primary advantage of proximity to jobs and has nothing to offer besides walkability and population density, I can imagine it becoming a lot more affordable.

>You are just a fancy and efficient autocomplete too. When you speak or write, some words have a higher probability than others

No you're not, and that is very easy to disprove. Look at the sentence "John took the water bottle out of the backpack so that it would be lighter". What does it refer to in the sentence, the bottle or the backpack?

Did it statistically come to you or did you need to consult Google? No, you know the right answer, it's the backpack. Why? Because you have a physical understanding of the world. The bottle doesn't get lighter, when you take it out of the backpack, the backpack does, because the bottle is not in there any more. This is not statistics, it's not manipulating strings, it's having a fundamental physical model of the world in your head, and an idea about how entities operate in it.

When you talk you don't do random statistical inference, you match language to the semantics you want to express, which is not statistical.
