Something to note about this strategy is that older versions of IE (10 and older) only support TLS 1.0 by default. Below 8 you're stuck with TLS 1.0 and can't even enable anything higher. So if "https://www.cdc.gov" is using modern web security IE users won't even get to request data from the server, so you can't detect their browser.
But that's the thing here. The reason their fundamentals are so terrible is that their business model is going the way of Blockbuster. Selling disks is distracting them from reinventing themselves. Many people buying GME are doing so because they don't want to see a company they have some sentiment for be destroyed by Wall Street. I think of this like a last-ditch public offering or a Kickstarter Hail Mary. They have an opportunity to raise the capital they need to reimagine the company and become worthy of their new valuation and continued existence.

I agree with you on all those listed points, but I don't know if it's my experience as a software engineer, but all those things you point out in general are something I find developers are cogniciant of, but often the processes in place doesn't allow them to do what's best, instead they are forced to always seek approval and follow stringent specs and requirements even if they don't make sense.

If you let qualified engineers drive those instead, in my experience, the end result is always better.

As others have mentioned already, 18F and USDS are in this space. They do some work, but their scope and manpower is limited, and they try to multiply their impact through contracting. Part of that is helping federal agencies write better contracts to be able to source the kind of contractors they want --- ones who think in terms of product development, user research ("build with, not for"), and are using modern software development practices. Bringing in contractors helps them multiply their impact, especially with how difficult hiring people into government is. (and a lot of people in tech simply didn't want to work directly under the Trump administration, which --- as liberal as the tech field tends to lean, seems to be a factor on hiring at 18F and USDS).

I work at one of the contractors in the space (Ad Hoc [1]) and get to work with people from USDS every day. Like others have commented here, the government salary ranges are a problem for them to hire enough. Our last COO had been an administrator at OPM, and would say things like "on the government side, I couldn't ever hire the kinds of software developers that we're able to here on the contractor side."

The good thing about Electron apps is they all usually accept ctrl+shift+plus to quickly zoom in the whole application, not just the text. Just like zooming any page in the browser.

The bad thing is it applies to all windows of that app, so you can't mix big and small vscode if put one window on laptop HD screen and one window on 4k external monitor.
>India's internal matters

Genocides arent an internal matter anymore. Sensible world governments usually put pressure on deviant administrations elsewhere. Followed by sanctions. As far as I know, India's current party is a hate mob re-branded. I saw some videos of the police siding with ruling party rioters running down people belonging to other religions in the country's capital. Shameful.
because after 1.5 years the same law gets passed without amendments. This is a well known trick most authoritarian govts apply. If any law has immediate widespread resistance, just put it on hold for some time till the resentment dies down and new news cycle takes over. Then pass it up without much resistance.
Natural question is "Does this also apply to .NET Core?" since HttpCapabilitiesProvider does not exist in .NET Core
Fun fact: the Kindle Store doesn't sell the actual ability to access the books, as piracy does that just fine. They don't sell the ability to pay the author, as you can mail the author $20 just fine (and perfectly legally).

So what do they sell you? Well, legal legitimacy and possibly convenience.
Using a VPN given to you by a service provider from whom you are trying to hide your IP seems to not achieve the goal.

Letting users select their own VPN before using your service is too much friction. The advantage of Tor is that it's run by multiple parties and does not need any interactive setup.

IntercoolerJS / htmx looks like a really cool solution for server-side rendered HTML with client-side interactivity. All the hype is currently with https://hotwire.dev/ but htmx has more features, seems more solid and even supports older browsers like IE11.
Bingo! I imagine this is what Facebook's mantra of 'Move Fast and Break Shit' has matured into over the years.
Contabo is great: finally a provider that does not save on mem and disk space. I moved everything to them and I save tons of money. The 400mbps is only for the cheapest as well: you can pay more to get more. Not that most people would need more. Especially for running matrix for a company etc.
Republic is a hatemongering tabloid. Any comment citing it automatically loses all credence in my opinion. Might as use Kangana Ranaut tweets as citations as well.
Exactly. Civil Engineering does this better, I think. In a civil engineering project such as a bridge, the requirements may be written down by the customer, but the engineering design of the bridge is entirely the responsibility of a single architect. You can pretty much bet that the city council who bought the bridge doesn't know a thing about physics or engineering, so if the bridge falls down it has to be the architect's fault (assuming that it was built according to the plan). This gives the architect the power to say "no" to the customer.

I’ve been working in enterprise/government sector for a few years now and my observation is that they need to focus on better systems design. Everything is too convoluted. Trying to make the software fit the poorly thought out and implemented legacy ERP design from yesteryear is where most of the money is wasted.

They notice with their wallets. A battlestation capable of 10-bit color, 240Hz, at 4K, for a single graphics generation, costs more than a monthly subscription service.

Why should it? Can you explain to me why the number of visitors to a website should determine how the website can operate?

> I'm also going to argue that individual choice is redundant here due to network effects.

What do you mean by redundant?
True. The lack of education helps with the brainwashing.
That's true, it might even become a necessity in order to save the grid from solar proliferation overloading the grid.

I think that battery is going to become as important as solar to the future grid. Battery allows you to timeshift demand and could allow power companies to operate plants at a constant rate rather than throttling up and down. As renewables displace fossils, batteries will play even more important a role.

We got solar + batteries in late November and it's been an interesting experience. We're on time-of-use billing to the batteries have allowed us to completely avoid peak charges.
Not to mention the terms in these kinds of contracts. The only way to deal with them is to charge enough to be protected. I have sold product (hardware) to places like the Navy Surface Warfare Center and White Sands Missile Test Range. If you are not careful you can come out losing in a big way.

For example, for each day/week/month you deliver past the estimated delivery date they discount 5% from your invoice. Sound like great motivation to deliver on time, right? Well, no, it's a guaranteed 100% (or whatever you can get away with) markup beyond what you would have charged because if anything goes wrong you'll go broke.

That said, this issue of super-expensive government websites done wrong feels all too common. You have to wonder how much cash we burn repeating the same mistakes.
by serious gamers

You'd think that "serious gamers" would obsess over the merits of games (mechanics, plot, level design, gameplay, etc), not the technical minutiae of framerates and input lag. That term always seemed odd to me.
Something I see at a lot of Boba places that's also super good is the "Flurry" (it also gets called "snow" or something similar). It's basically a plate of shaved ice (usually you share with someone), but the texture is like... cotton candy. And then they put sweetened condensed milk on it and you can add boba, bursters, bits of fruit, syrups, etc. It's great; the texture is so unique.
What's VR got to do with it? Sure, Stadia might never work for VR.

Sure, VR might one day be a big part of the gaming market. It won't be soon, and it will probably never be the entire market.
> Microsoft provides them as a separate download

That's not _wrong_, but I think it's misleading. Microsoft provides in such a way that they will automatically download on demand. That is fundamentally different from a manual download. Among other things it means that I can (and frequently do) debug crashes from other people's computers running different versions of Windows and I never have to think about it. It just works.
> I think we’re going to see PV-covered EV cars in the not too distant future

They're already popping up in the development stage [0]. 12 km/hr peak solar charging sounds really quite good, and I like the overall design. The company was founded by students who won the World Solar Challenge [1] in 2015, it's pretty neat to see them taking that experience and running with it.

Plenty of black swans occur when dictatorship is the regime.

- assassination of dictator => internal turmoil

- early death of dictator => internal turmoil

- scuffle with neighboring country => economic sanctions by the free world

- dictator can't lose face, does something stupid => economic sanctions by the free world

- (Germany, Merkel, CDU) support for the dictator wanes and disappears => economic sanctions by the free world

- local governments cover up economic losses until its too great => hyperinflation, central government collapse

- triggering business defaults leading to dollar shortages leading to faster capital outflow => hyperinflation, central government collapse

- made up economic numbers are exposed => foreign businesses pull out

- nationalization of foreign companies assets => foreign businesses pull out

- natural disasters + lack of food supply => citizen riot

How did "boba" become the de facto term for the drink? I remember calling it "pearl milk tea" in middle school, somehow switching over to "bubble tea" in late high school to college, and now calling it "boba". And I don't think I heard of the slang meaning until much later.

Aside from that, as I am a first generation (native-born) Chinese-American, this article discusses my identity scarily well from an angle that I never really thought about. Despite Subtle Asian Traits becoming popular around the time that I was cutting my Facebook usage after I graduated and started work and "boba liberalism" being a term I learned today, I'm not really that many steps removed from this all. Why is it that I subconsciously tried hard to prove myself to classmates that I'm an American, but on the other hand, I tried to be as "Asian" as my Asian-American classmates? This article hit a cultural identity nerve in me and I haven't really formed a coherent set of thoughts on it.

(Maybe this also ties into why I'm such a boba purist in that I reject anything that isn't tapioca balls + whole milk + some sugar but not too much + good tea, though when I'm feeling less tolerant of lactose, oat milk surprisingly tastes almost no different from whole milk in a boba drink.)

Also, the boba metaphor for culture that the author presented also really works well in another way. A person born of parents from Shanghai and a person born of parents from Beijing can have very different cultural backgrounds, but that richness gets lost when they become Chinese-Americans. Similarly to how boba, a Taiwanese drink, has become a de facto symbol of Asian American cultural identity overall. Some might argue this is a "bad thing", but, well, as I mentioned earlier, I'm still coming up with a coherent set of thoughts around this.
>> BBC is heavily biased against India esp. against current government.

I don't buy this. I think BBC is far more factual and has a lot more integrity than most other media sources - unless being factual is what makes it against the current Indian regime.
Definitely spoiled living in the bay area where there seems to be way too many bubble tea places. One of my favorites though (which I can never get unless I am in south bay) is roasted buckwheat at Rabbit Rabbit.
New Vector leadership holding key decision-making positions on both Element and Matrix.org could be seen as a distinguishing factor. It feels subjectively like more entanglement than the Mozilla/Gandi combo.

No it can't, and no it isn't. Lawyers rarely get involved.

In the US, the claims adjuster determines who is at fault. The police report is weighted more heavily than anything either party says, as is physicak evidence of the collision.

If there's a disagreement, most insurers will go through a special arbitration process. Whether one of thr parties says "accident" or "collision" is not one of the factora considered.
25 years ago, websites like this was seen as something of a novelty. They were made just as much as an experiment as something necessary. As a young web developer at that time, I often had to do all the programming, ux design and graphic design myself. There wasn`t any budget for more people. Full stack development wasn`t a thing yet. I still get amazed by how well staffed and funded web development projects have become. Web development has become more complicated too. More animations, accessability and higher security all adds up to making the whole project being more time consuming.
I keep on feeling like I'm following the argument, but then I keep stumbling across the "supporting moral beliefs with facts" part, and it just seems like it's missing something basic.

You can't ever "prove" moral statements just with facts to begin with, that's the whole point of Hume's Guillotine or the is-ought problem. A moral statement with supporting facts is always, by definition, going to also have moral statements supporting it as well, and it's turtles all the way down; the moral statement is ultimately going to be resting on at least one "moral axiom" aka value aka opinion. So of course focusing on facts isn't going to be wholly convincing.

And personal subjective experience is an appeal to emotion. Those are convincing in the moment, but they're rather ephemeral. Any moral conclusion needs to be recognized for what it is; if the reasoning is valid, it rests upon values that might just be different than yours.

One anecdote... I recently had an extremely disappointing multi-day discussion with an old friend who I discovered attended the insurrection. (Did not enter, but made it to the Capitol steps.) I was at first shocked and dismayed, but then through the bonds of our friendship we were able to empathize with each other's emotional experience, why his community was important to him, etc. We thought afterward that maybe we really would be able to have a respectful exchange of views. But then after that it was just disappointment again - it became clear that he just wasn't going to let go of the belief that it was all staged by Antifa, no matter how much I disproved his various meme jpgs. So at least in that case, that intermediate phase of sharing personal subjective experience only really went so far. (We're not in touch anymore.)
About the start of the as compliance yes, but I don't have link right now. This was said in a video interview, maybe with Autoline? Not sure. But it was some of the top guys on that program.

The detailed economics is conjecture, based on different statements and some assumptions. Sorry, I didn't want to come across as this being certain knowledge. Maybe the lose on the Mach-E are still pretty bigger. Maybe they changed from the compliance because they wanted to have a flag ship for marketing.

This is just how I interpreted it, they wanted to sell a 'compliance car' that they could actually sell for a premium price and have premium options on.
But why does it have to go through a contractor system at all? Why can't they keep developers on staff, who among other things can retain institutional knowledge?
Made worse when you have lots of money and even more stakeholders.

Perhaps worst of all, when failure has no true cost, avoiding failure matters far less. The CDC won't go broke because they blew through $44 Mil. Most every other organisation would. That's one of the challenges of government, the lack of creative destruction.

Not necessarily, you can use a CI pipeline to verify that your project can be build with many Python versions. This is the workflow I use here[0].

It would also make mods impossible.

I have a feeling these streaming services will capture a huge portion of the 'casual' market, and there will be some hardcore people who refuse it or consider it a toy.

Kinda like cell phones and mobile gaming. Very popular, not going away, but didn't kill off PCs and probably can't.
Do you not feel that the streaming options are up to scratch? There's so many now, from science doc specific (Nebula and Curiosity stream - I was eager to start with these but inevitably was let down with these 'speciality options') to anime too.

Personally, streaming has now also ruined watching the TV/movies for me.

Since my TV burned itself I've had a non-smart TV and it's actually really refreshing to have such minimal choice and be walled in as such. I end up watching films and actually enjoying them, not dealing with FOMO and wondering if there's something better).
Sure, but what about in 1992?

How much did you need to understand about TCP/IP when you got AOL? Very little.

And what happened when you got online? You could communicate online, suddenly reaching millions and then billions of humans. So learning just a little bit about IP (let's be real, you didn't need to know shit about TCP)

Compare that to a VPN or Tor. What do you need to understand to use it, and what is the payoff for knowing it? It's nowhere near the same situation as IP and the beginning of consumer internet.
> How do you debug (in dev or prod)

VSCode lets you debug inside a Docker container.

> or in production, do things such as inspecting log files

Logs should be sent out of the container, either directly (mount a /logs folder, push them to Sentry / ELK / etc.) or by simply logging to stdout and having Docker send the logs where you want.

Docker processes are still processes. They show up in `top` and friends just fine.

> running necessary commands if there is something urgent...?

`Docker exec my_container <insert command here>`.

Although I've never even considered doing that. For the past few years the resolution to a production bug has always been "rollback to the previous image, then if any data got borked fix it in the database".
> The average IQ sample here is higher (period).

If you asked me, that'd be my guess as well, but saying it such a way that it projects hopelessness for the rest of the humanity is a bit too much :)

Narcissism is dangerous as it tends to create and feed extremist communities. For an example, see any political forum full with extremists (these days it's hard to find any without) and observe how often they call themselves intelligent (or woke, or whatever fancy words they use to work around the obviousness of self-flattery).
We arrived at the same insight while implementing several digital patient assistance programs across different markets. In PAPs which require doctors to register vs pharmacist registration, the latter outperforms the former in adoption and engagement. Doctors seem to be too damn busy to take time to onboard themselves with the PAP apps even though ultimately they aid the patients in terms of medication cost.
