Thanks Mozilla. This literally just directed me to this feature. Turned it on and actually feels quite good. Now I'll have to get back to make sure I don't get too used it before its taken away again.
No mention of what I see as the biggest con of GraphQL: You must build a lot of rate limiting and security logic, or your APIs are easily abused.

A naive GraphQL implementation makes it trivial to fetch giant swaths of your database. That's fine with a 100% trusted client, but if you're using this for a public API or web clients, you can easily be DOSed. Even accidentally!

Shopify's API is a pretty good example of the lengths you have to go to in order to harden a GraphQL API. It's ugly:

https://shopify.dev/concepts/about-apis/rate-limits

You have to limit not just number of calls, but quantity of data fetched. And pagination is gross, with `edges` and `node`. This is is straight from their examples:

{
shop {
id
name
}
products(first: 3) {
edges {
node {
handle
}
}
}
}

Once you fetch a few layers of edges and nodes, queries become practically unreadable.

The more rigid fetching behavior of REST & gRPC provides more predictable performance and security behavior.
On those lines – if we as a society are going to accept this twice-yearly glitch in the matrix, it should be done in a humane way so as to enable humans to cope with a sudden change to their schedules. I'm thinking things like:

- Highway warning signs for 1 week before and after the sudden time change

- Speed limits are lowered on expressways for 2 weeks after the time change

- Businesses are not allowed to penalize workers for any lateness-related reason for up to 1 hour for 2 weeks after the time change

- Maybe even an extra Monday's holiday for Spring Forward! Holidays are notoriously scarce around this time of the year anyway.

...and so forth.

That's what I think is missing. I think most people can agree that it's a pretty fundamental change to circadian rhythm, essentially forcing everyone to go through a minor version of jet lag. What seems to be missing is the acknowledgement that this can be a big deal for some folks, and helping them adapt as a society.

How do you know that before the cautious testing and approval procedure?

The EU recently approvied and has bought 200M J&J vaccines, I don't remember numbers of the other vaccines. If that vaccine were about as harmful as thalidomide, about 3000 babies would die during birth, and a considerably larger number would be born without an arm or similar.
I have been switching between Chrome and Firefox almost every other day past few months to see if I could make the switch away from Chrome or not. This was one of the benefits for me. While it's on a few pixels in comparison to my external monitors, it's almost a necessity on a laptop.
You aren’t getting my point. Netflix is just Netflix. It’s not fair for Disney to be able to include 3 different streaming services (they own all 3 of Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu) in their numbers/stats in order to claim #1 overall streaming service.
What is the likelihood that mixed-process chiplets become the state of the art?
A lot of the discussion here is assuming that the US military is good at what it does, but we've been losing for twenty years to people who live without electricity, so either the Taliban has a lightning fast OODA loop or the concept is basically useless as applied.
You can put a RESTful response on S3 (or even stub a whole service) but AFAIK you can't do that for gRPC or GraphQL.

> All my reading said that the decisions ERCOT made during the weather event were all very competent. They kept the grid from collapsing, which was their job.

I respectfully disagree. Demand might have been twice what supply was, but the way the load shedding was done wasn't smart at all. The rolling blackouts were done on a roughly 18-48 hour basis, i.e. if you lost power you probably lost it for at least 18 hours and I know plenty of people who lost it for much longer, up to 48 hours.

If demand was double what the supply was then it should have been possible to give people power for say 2 hours every 4 hours. Or maybe 6 hours every 12 hours. If demand outstripped supply by a factor of 4 then 3 hours every 12 hours.

But that's not what happened. A lot of houses have gas furnaces but they need electricity to run the fans and the ignition system and such. People died in their houses either from the cold or from running their cars in their garages trying to stay warm. A lot of pipes were burst due to not enough heat in the buildings.

I can think of at least a dozen ways in which the load shedding could have been better managed. I wouldn't agree that it was very competent.
Yes, I think it mostly popular in Europe and then especially Italy, Germany, Netherlands. Most new stories are coming out from these countries.
Node.js Black Lives Matter
Man, I hadn't heard of this feature before, and tried it out after reading this. It's so much nicer!
> The aesthetic is absolutely gorgeous to a vast majority of people

This sounds like perception bias to me. "The vast majority" of people are likely indifferent.

The amount that love it and the amount that hate it are probably about the same sizes.

Manufacturers just realized they can just target the part of the market that loves colorful stuff, charge more for it, and all groups, the lovers the haters and in between will buy it because it's the really the only stuff available. Which is the entire frustration the original post was complaining about: It's actually quite hard to find parts and cases (and even peripherals! It seems like most mechanical keyboards are light-up RGB keys nowadays) That don't have LEDs all over them.

Personally I prefer to have explicit control over the caching mechanism rather than leaving it to network elements or browser caching.

That is explicity cache the information in your JavaScript frontend or have your backend explicitly cache. In that way it is easy to understand and your can also control what circumstances a cache is invalidated.

As I said, no idea whether or not something is wrong with the AZ vaccine.

And yes, governments are doing everything they can. And the screw up with vaccinations. No idea why, because I don't have all the details, but maybe AZ is just coming in time to have been 1) a good scape goat early on when one was needed during the frustration with vaccine deliveries 2) bad at PR 3) earned a bad rep and now everybody is over cautious. And public / media pressure isn't really helping.
There is new data, and the statement from the Paul Ehrlich Institute refers specifically to a specific type of thrombosis. The PEI is the institute responsible for vaccines, the RKI is for infectious diseases in general.

It's hard to say if this is a good decision, my impression is that this is too risk-averse given the real danger and very significant chance of COVID 19 infections. But it does seem to be based on different data than just a few days ago.

Why is this such a big issue? When I use Telegram in the past (and I did for years) every chat I had was encrypted. Enabling isn't that complicated.
It would make it a hurdle for the young userbase. When I started using Whatsapp I was ~16, and didn't have access to a credit card or any other way to pay for a yearly subscription (and I'm not sure if my parents would have okayed it).

Another alternative: the famous nullpointer https://github.com/mia-0/0x0

A small script i use very regularly:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
if [ ! -f $1 ]; then echo "MISSING: $1"; exit 1; fi
torify curl -F"file=@$1" https://YOURSERVER || echo "UPLOAD FAILED (code: $?)"
> In contrast, the 28-core 7453 is $1,570.

Which is cheaper than the 24c 7443 and 7413 but not the 16c 7343 and 7313.

And it only has half the L3 compared to its siblings (1/4th compared to the 7543 top end), a lower turbo than every other processor in the range (whether lower or higher core counts), well as an unimpressive base frequency, and a fairly high TDP by comparison (as high as the 7543).

The 74F3 has no such discrepancy, it has the same L3 as every other F-series and slots neatly into the range frequency-wise: same turbo as its siblings (with the 72 being 100MHz higher), 300MHz base lower han the 73, and 250 higher than the 75.

I really don't understand why google doesn't offer some sort of human support. It's not terribly hard to implement something that is revenue neutral (or even positive), and the customers with the most money to spend are really going to want it.
> But why should we have to reduce our “consumption” (by which I take it you mean material possessions and activities) if we literally CAN use tech to address the emissions problem?

Because:

1) We don't yet in fact have the tech in general. We did with Ozone, I agree with your argument there, but it is going to be ages before we know how to make carbon neutral concrete, for example.

2) Speaking for myself, I'd rather live in a green biosphere rather than Trantor.
The ring has nothing to do with whether you can call yourself an engineer. There's also no architecture requirements. What could can do as a professional engineer is stamp things if you think you're qualified and have followed a proper procedure for it. If a p eng thinks the architecture drawing is good, they can stamp it. If they think the line of code is nice, they can stamp it too

The cliché of the EU is that it's bureaucrats all the way up, though.

Of course this is an exaggeration, but there is a somewhat disturbing neglect of EU elections, functions and political appointments in the public view (it's seen as less prestigious than national/federal elections in many EU member states).

As a result, it's a climate that doesn't always attract and get the leadership it really needs (given that the EU formally and practically overrules legislation and jurisdiction of member states).
If you render two anti-aliased boxes next to each other (i.e. they share an edge), will you see a thin line there, or a solid fill? Last time I checked, cairo-based PDF readers get this wrong, for example.

To be fair, this tells you what the vocal users think, and this is sometimes very different from what the majority of users think. For something with a shrinking market share, you also have to consider what potential users think, not just existing users.

Yes, but those are different people that might be killed, which makes it an ethical dilemma.

Depending on the type of adverse reaction, it might be safer for young people to not get vaccinated at all or with a different vaccine. (For example if the adverse reaction affects mostly young people, while COVID affects mostly older people.)
We live in a world where you can find almost any computer service for free. Not everyone is like lazy americans willing to take the credit card out at any road bump. They will find a service that does the same for free. I can barely convince my friends with that mindset to come to Telegram when they already majorly use Messenger. Not only do they need an incentive to switch to Telegram, adding a fee to use the platform would simply kill the app. There are many ways to monetize services that don't require users to pay just to join, and this is the way forward even though it's meeting resistance from companies, it will win in the long run. Don't fight it, work with it and learn to take advantage of it instead.
CUDA is, essentially, a B2B product-feature.

A business is flexible when serving its own needs: if they want to do GPGPU computations, they can evaluate the alternatives and choose a platform/technology like CUDA to build on; and so choose to lock themselves into the particular GPUs that implement that technology. But that’s a choice they’re only making for themselves. They’re using those GPUs to compute something; they’re not forcing anyone else downstream of them to use those same GPUs to consume what they produce. The GPUs they’re using become part of their black box.

Path shaders, on the other hand, would—at least as described in the article—be chiefly a B2C / end-user product-feature. They’d be something games/apps would rely on to draw 2D UI elements. But path shaders would need to be implemented† by the developers creating those games/apps.

† (Yes, really, they would need to be implemented by the game/app developer, not game-engine framework devs. Path shaders are a low-level optimization, like Vulkan — something that is only advantageous to use when you use it directly to take advantage of its low-level semantics, rather than through a framework that tries to wrap it in some other, more traditional semantics. As with OpenGL, the ill-fitted abstractions of the traditional API were precisely what made it slow!)

And those game/app developers, unlike the developers doing GPGPU computations, have to make a decision based on what devices their customers have, rather than what their own company can buy. (Or, if they think they have a “killer app”, they can try to force their customers to buy into the platform they built on. But most companies who think they’ve built a B2C killer app, haven’t.)

For a B2B product-feature, a plurality position is fine. Even one forced to be permanent by patents.

For a B2C product-feature, a plurality position by itself is fine, because rivals will just ship something similar and offer cross-support. But an indefinite plurality position is death.

Compare, in the web ecosystem:

• Features shipped originally in one renderer as “clean, standalone” ideas, e.g. -webkit-border-radius. These were cloned (-moz-border-radius, etc.) and then standardized (plain old border-radius.)

• Features shipped in one renderer as implementations dependent on that renderer’s particular environment/ecosystem, e.g. IE’s ActiveX-based CSS “filter” stanza. Because of how they were implemented, these had no potential to ever be copied by rivals, so nobody outside of Microsoft bothered to use them on their sites, since they knew that only IE would render the results correctly, and IE at that point already had only a plurality position.
Unfortunately, an under-moderated chat feature is considered a risk these days, like an open email relay or an open proxy. I personally think Google erred too far on the side of caution here, but developers should be aware that chat features aren't as cheap to add as they used to be; they change the risk model of the app.
I don't think this is deliberate, but it seems that one of the big things that has changed as a result of the shortening of consumer product development cycles is that it sort of eliminates any feedback loop that might incentivize manufacturers to engineer for reliability. Why build a device that's designed to last for 10 years, when consumers are going to buy themselves a new one every year or two, regardless of whether the old one is still functional and meeting their needs?

Estimates.
There's a big difference here though - when it comes to a vaccine, we have hard stats to define the risk/reward ratio.

I believe it's likely that lockdowns may cause some deaths, or possibly even lots of deaths. However, they certainly help prevent the spread of deadly disease too and hence prevent many deaths. We can probably get fairly definite numbers on how many deaths lockdown prevents in a large population. I don't think we can get similar numbers on how many they cause. My gut says they probably prevent a lot more than they cause, but I'd like to see any studies on this, if anyone has a link to share.
I wish gecko/servo were separated enough from Firefox that we had other browser options built around it, with features like native sidebar tabs and compact mode. I've tried to stick with Firefox because I don't love Google owning the hugely dominant browser engine, but Mozilla isn't making it easy for me.

Looks increasingly nice across the pond with Edgeium, Vivaldi, Brave, etc.

Is servo even still in development? I know bits and pieces of the project have made their way into Firefox, but I'm not sure where that stands after the layoffs last year.

Can confirm. I had a public demo of my open source image hosting solution [1] (where you can resize images and videos by just entering a different URL) up for years without problems, until idiots started uploading CSAM (Children sexual abuse material).

Luckily I found out before law enforcement did [2] so I proactively talked to my federal bureau for months generating Excel sheets of IPs and access times and devices and countries. I didn't see many of the images myself, basically just looked at one upload per IP which was like three in total and forwarded all uploads of that IP to the police but man.. what the hell is wrong with people. 4 digit number of uploads of CSAM.

In my circles, I see little to no experimentation done in the computer field, much to my dismay. We already have the best simulator for the universe, itself.
so how does further slowing vaccine progress, making it even less likely they'll meet the adjusted goals and anouncements, "cover for their failings", especially if there is a good chance it'll turn out it was unnecessary? At least right now people's reaction for sure isn't "oh too bad then, not your fault".
I just don't understand this argument. Cars and airplanes, if powered by clean electricity, make it pretty low impact.

It's not even that hard. We spent like $2 trillion on a coronavirus stimulus bill. $2 trillion on clean electricity infrastructure would be enough to clean up the electric grid to like 90-95% fossil free.

Another $2 trillion of incentives and mandates would allow most transportation in the US to be fossil free (pure electric cars and trucks, with plug-in hybrid cars
and trucks as an interim measure) and charged by our 90-95% fossil free grid. (Electricity and transport are the two biggest things, followed by heating and industry... which ALSO have fairly straightforward solutions to becoming almost entirely carbonfree.)

I'm convinced that a HUGE reason we don't just pull the trigger and do this now is because a huge swath of the environmental activist community is deadset on demanding a reduction in consumption and "modern day luxuries" even when not strictly necessary. That means that it's a political dead end and literally every other goal becomes a higher priority. Any climate action that doesn't "reduce consumption" is seen as not being "real."

We should just see it like solving the Ozone Hole (which is now healing, BTW). Instead of giving up refrigeration and air conditioning, we developed non-ozone-depleting refrigerants.

I'm sorry that Attenborough probably won't be satisfied with that answer, but we really can have 8 billion humans with modern day luxuries provided we're responsible about it. And it's not even hard. I have two (used) electric cars that I bought for $10k apiece, and they mostly charge using nuclear electricity. With a heat pump (air source with ground-source backup), and I'll be set for heating my house as well.
