Yeah this is what I've been leaning towards as well. People (both technical and non-technical) understand it. If you say TLS people either know what you mean, they think you're being a smartass of they have no idea what you're talking about. With https everyone knows.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the entire national discussion has been over banning the AR15. Have you been living under a rock?

No kidding, most homicides are committed with hand guns in liberal cities from gang violence where they have already completely banned guns. I dont think people are stupid but I do think you are. And quite triggered, clearly.
>Title: How to End the War Over the Future of the Suburbs
I was not aware there was a war over suburbs.

Author mentions Wayland MA. Wayland is a "rural", forested, suburb a few towns out from Boston. People live there because they like that. Why should anyone outside even get the right to comment about this yet alone complain??? As the author mentions zoning is very specific to get a specific result. Why does Wayland have to grow? They clearly don't want to grow.

I don't understand the self righteousness to tell a happy, (more) balanced with nature, small (insignificant), community that it has to change and grow? This strikes me as psychotic and makes me wonder about globalist conspiracies of infinite growth at the cost of the planet and the globalist ownership of media. Is anyone in Wayland complaining? If Wayland doesn't embrace "growth and change" nothing changes and as I suspect they would prefer it that way.

I, ignorantly, agree that housing costs seem high. But population growth is modest at best so we shouldn't need more homes in areas with good access to commerce. My, ignorant, guess as to the root cause of this problem is a stagnation of middle class wages over the last 40-50 years, possibly compounded by increased business and foreign acquisition of housing stock. This is a very ignorant guess on my part (only so much time to research everything).

I have no dog in this fight. I live in an over priced and tiny apartment in LA. I did visit a friend in Wayland once so I have been there. It was a beautiful town in the wooded suburbs of Boston. It never occurred to me anyone could find a problem with this other than not wanting to live in a wooded suburb in which case you wouldn't.

I still can't figure out the problem the author has with Wayland. I feel like he's being passive-aggressive for personal or political reasons. And there does seem to be a political and cultural war between traditional American self-determination vs leftwing authoritarianism, density fetishists and the globalist class (grown fetishists).
I see, that is a bit more obtuse.

Any thoughts on how that ought to affect trial and sentencing?
Jeff (or anyone else) could easily sell Elon’s tweet by pretending to be Elon, just like the other day someone was pretending to be Simon Stålenhag to sell his art as NFT.

(This hypothetical scenario works best if impersonation target is not aware of or not inclined to engage with NFTs, of course.)
(And some days, I listen to music when I work out.)
This is nothing to do with HTTP/2. This is just keep-alive behaviour, which applies to HTTP/1.1 just as much as HTTP/2.

Also the 6 is the maximum number of HTTP/1.1 connections most browser configurations will open per origin; HTTP/2 lets you have as many streams open on one connection as you like (up to 2³⁰ or 2³¹ if my memory serves me, but a billion ought to be enough for anyone).
Maybe outside of North America. The automatic transmission had big problems here. Ford tried to game the fuel economy with a cheap unreliable transmission. Unlike other regions which got torque-converted autos and popular manual options, almost all the Foci were sold with a dry Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). This worked on the highway, but around town is was programmed to "crawl" like an automatic, slipping the dry clutch and wearing out very fast. Big class actions happened and now Ford quit selling cars here, only Mustangs and trucks.

Some older Mercedes might have a lower TCO than a 2018 focus, but only because the focus is disastrously unreliable.
Interesting that the journal claims to judge only on scientific process and not impact, which sounds like a good idea for publishing negative results and replications and such, but then they wind up publishing some really outrageous claims like a paper supporting homeopathy. Seems like the opposite of the stated goal, but I guess they can make more money by publishing straight up bad science instead of staying true to their mission statement.

That controversies page was surprisingly entertaining overall though, I have to say. Clearly the authors don't even take the journal seriously: "The face of Donald Trump was hidden in an image of baboon feces in a paper published in 2018. The journal later removed the image."
Right, what you're saying is that xe/xir is a political identity and therefore certain trans people aren't welcome. But that decision is of itself political.
Brake dust and road surface oils might not be so fun to pump on your lawn though.
Not overly. The Great Oxidation Event nearly destroyed all life on the planet. If it wasn't for a mutation that allowed life to live in an oxygen rich environment Earth could have gone the say way as Venus.
Zoom out farther. Markets regularly take major hits and then recover, but someone only invested in local markets in 1914 France or Venezuela today is starting from scratch. OP was talking about the events that leave people with nothing. Those are political events and diversification is about which governments one is exposed to.
Humans had civilization before we knew how to use fossil fuels, we just didn't have industrial civilization. AIUI civilization mostly consists of agreeing to live and work together in groups bigger than Dunbar's number.
This is ongoing "communication" in the loosest sense right?

It keeps the connection open but it's not like the connection is being actively used to pass data, so surely the only information for the server is simply that the user is still there (and thus you could infer they haven't turned their computer off). That might be deeply interesting in some obscure edge cases but it's not sounding like anything that would keep me up at night. Or am I missing something?
Hospitals are not beyond capacity everywhere where lockdowns are being imposed. Hospital overcapacity is extremely location-dependent.

Also, hospital overcapacity in itself does not justify lockdown policies. Some would argue that not being allow indoor dining or to walk outside after 10pm is a violation of basic human rights (not to mention neither of these measures were implemented in Korea for example).
Trump was hardly a dictator (he would have loved to be) and he couldn't make any non-reversible changes to the system. He probably won't have any sensible effects in the future of humanity.
FYI to those reading - Blank-Cheque mods over 400 subreddits, many of which are massive.

It will be interesting to see how the admins respond to the mods essentially shutting down vast swathes of the site. The only time I recall something like this happening was the Ellen Pao clusterfuck.
If you open a page, close it, connect to a VPN, then open the page again it will not go through the VPN.
don't give up. there's plenty of us who actually have assessed the risks and weighed them apropriately, using our own brains rather than relying on others to assuage our fears.

almost none of the publicly pronounced mitigations have much mitigative effect. the most reasonable mitigation is sensible distancing when you're going to spend extended time with non-household members in tight quarters, but that's not big enough or visible enough for many, so we get the extended security theater to deal with the fear externalized onto the rest of us.

combined with light masking in situations where prolonged indoor closeness (not incidental closeness, like in a grocery aisle, but rather among friends hanging out) is unavoidable, we could have kept most businesses and institutions open and had essentially the same results. we didn't need lockdowns, school/office closures, curfews, outdoor masking, incessant handwashing/disinfecting, or any of that other stuff that didn't really have any substantive effect.
I personally did it recently and it was a breath of fresh air not having to worry about cipher suites or DH params or other garbage as TLS1.3's defaults are secure.

Although note that I did see a drop of ~2%-3% in traffic after that. I don't directly make any money of these websites (just my personal blog and similar) and most of my viewers are likely to be technical (i.e. not using IE which doesn't support 1.3), so I decided the sacrifice was worth it for another small reduction in needed sysadmin thought+work.
what does "democratizing" have anything to do with death count? I guess you are saying maybe less women die? If they do carry guns that is? Do they?

Point is overall number, men or women, will be lower, unless you think that with the same number of violent incidents, the chance of fatal injuries with and without guns are exactly the same.

Both http and websocket protocol can be used to implement server-browser communication in PyWebIO. The websocket is default, and you can use `pywebio.platform.tornado_http.start_server()` or `pywebio.platform.path_deploy_http()` to use http polling to communicate.
I live quite close to you, fellow Ontarian here. Windsor is where I call home. I plan one day to own a house on the lake, nothing else like it.
Life After People was a good series about this. IIRC, the only thing left of humanity after some appreciable amount of time (say a couple millenia), would be the pyramids. Evidence might be on Venus, but we might have to look thoroughly to find it.
I hate statements like this because even if they’re true they end up in the average person’s hands who’ll claim “COVID is just a cold” like they do with “evolution is just a theory.”
It only does so when it has been submitted very recently. If its more than x days apart it appears as a new submission iirc.

I agree, I've worked with universities who share content as private youtube videos, heck even businesses use "private links" accessible by anyone who has the link for spreadsheets etc.

I don't think you have a guilt-free position, the fact your website is public puts you at risk of litigation (not a lawyer.)
I recall that NPR took some advice from psychologists who talked to mass shooters.

They made a point to not emphasize the shooters name, not go into detail about their manifesto or ideology. They tried to avoid sounds and videos of chaos. They didn't completely ignore those things, but they choose to limit them.

They did talk about victims, their names, stories of communities, stories about people helping each other after the event.

In short they emphasized things the shooters don't like to think about and deemphasized things shooters like.

It's not clear if it helps, but I sure liked the coverage.
I wonder if you'd be able to use a .local name and somehow get a proper signed certificate for it, which you embed into your local device.

Alternatively (and this is pretty hacky, but should work), you get a full domain unique to your device, e.g. mydevice-admin.com, and you require users to run a small installation script on their local devices that'll map that hostname to the local IP of the device. If not setup, it'd show a webpage that has instructions on how to run said installer. Then you embed the certificate on your devices.

There's some obvious security risks on this (if someone could extract the certificate and MITM the website and then trick people into running a malicious installer…) but at least your default experience would have the desired green check-marks.

(These are all probably shitty ideas.)
What Caused the Supply Chain Mess over PPE Last Year
If this is true, I wonder what sort of social capital transactional exchange is going on instead.
No Till agriculture is exactly what it sounds like - not ploughing it up at the end of a growing season.
This has a number of benefits including retaining soil structure and root structure, enhancing and retaining moisture profiles (since adopting this in the mid 90s on my parents farm in Australia we’ve been able to grow crops in drought years that would have otherwise been unviable) however it also comes with other requirements - for example prior to no-till ploughing was important to remove weeds and other unwanted field growth, this is usually accomplished by spraying including long term residual sprays which have lots of potentially dubious effects on the environment
Where exactly are hospitals beyond capacity ? Please provide sources for extraordinary claims.
I'd be curious to see estimates of the US economy with different deflators over the last 50 years. In particular the last 20 years of campbell's price history would indicate some form of inflation that ran much faster than the CPI.

A reasonable resolution the the productivity/wage gap would be that productivity simply hasn't risen very much over the last 50 years, and apparent productivity/wage gaps are due to differences in how the GDP deflator is calculated.
I had a pretty good view of Afghanistan and if you accept Afghanistan as the most modern interpretation of "war" then yes. I traveled mostly across Helmand and Nimroz, which were apart from some isolated mountainous regions, the most kinetic places in the country.

> Does it exist such a thing as realistic or even gruesome war footage

I don't know 100% what this means, it's phrased oddly so I'll do my best to answer it. Most war footage is gruesome, and much of it is captured by service members themselves. Next up would probably be the military's own "combat camera" which documents warzones from the front lines. For instance, this movie was a unit adjacent to mine: http://combatobscura.oscilloscope.net/ and was composed entirely of combat camera footage. Citizens documenting stuff is probably next, though I'd say it's value drops because it leaves out a lot of troop communication to know what was happening at the time. Most of the time when you see it, it's probably the kind of footage that is meant to frighten people at home because it's all post-action and carries very little explanation of what's going on at the time.
Looking back, I wonder what we will think of our current trend towards political correctness; to me it seems fragile. For instance, what do people gain from teasing or being risque? It seems like we're doing so much to be inclusive, that we're reducing the space where the risque exists; precisely the idea that something "shouldn't be said", but that boundaries may be pushed by virtue of where or how it is done.

I wonder a lot about why some things are deserving of being teased or excluded. Should anything be? It should, right?

If we were all truly accepting, we could tease each other gently and not want to take each others jobs and Twitter accounts away. That would be an "antifragile" social ethic.
Wait until Jeff hears about Service Workers. :)
I see Orsted bonds announced 2/10/2021 with maturity on 2/18/3021. That’s got to be the current winner.

That’s irrelevant to this discussion about hosting sites on a LAN with no internet access.

If you need https on the public internet you need a trusted cert.
15$ a year for a domain, throw traffic through local [split?] dns and traefik with the lets encrypt dns challenge and call it a day? i have over 25 internal domains & services with 25 certs auto renewing and no one can tell - it just works and is easier the self signing certs and loading them into whatever rando service or device your trying to secure

I started out my coding career using sublime, moved to atom relatively quickly, experimented with jetbrains products but didn’t like it, and moved to VSCode soon after it was released and have been using it since.

There were a few people at work who had been on the same path as me before and were trying to turn me to the “dark side”, and I eventually gave in and told myself I would give it a try for two weeks and see how I liked it.

Up until a few months ago I would have thought vim would never replace vscode for me, but here I am typing this message having been using vim as my only editor/ide for the last two and a half months.

I use neovim nightly with the builtin lsp and treesitter support and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. It’s not only faster itself, but I am more efficient using it.
Japan never enforced any lock down and even actively encouraged people for months to travel in the midst of the pandemic. So far they did OK. Very limited number of infections and deaths.
this sounds as a Kubernetes.
I think it's just the Dunning-Kruger thingy, "scientists" which do not know their own limitations. Hubris. Lack of humanities on STEM curricula, philosophy, higher-level thinking.

This is just an aside, but poor Murray Gell-Mann, always getting dragged into these discussions because Michael Crichton made up that effect, and named it after a famous scientist for the prestige.

It's even more ironic, because Michael Chrichton was a climate change denier and an anti-science crusader! Just watch Jurassic Park, Spielberg kept some of his BS! Then watch Jurassic Park 3 and fist pump over the kid trashing his book.
So the "Gell-Man Effect" is literally an example of itself.
I think the writer falls into the "privacy paranoid" category of users. Something vaguely looks like it could be used for nefarious purposes, so they imagine it must be for nefarious purposes.

Also as much attention as privacy gets, those users are far outnumbered by the performance oriented users. So it would be a mistake to kill a performance improvement for an imagined privacy improvement to satisfy (the even smaller segment of) privacy paranoid users.
wow you have even less shame than I thought. Nice try with the "already banned guns" bs.

Let's not go there yet. We're talking about the numbers and you deliberately, and, again, shamelessly quote a misleading number.
Yes, exactly. There might be some keepalive messages to prevent timeouts, but unless the browser is explicitly instructed to make an HTTP request no data is passed.
Glad that you got out of it! I am baffled by the amount of people people walking/running around with headphones, blasting music (or something else), never made any sense to me.

I'd rather consume distracting/stimulating stuff within the comforts of white walls while leaving the mother nature surroundings to consumption with open eyes.
> the rest of the world industrialized and are using ozone damaging chemicals on a massive scale

I would like to know more about the rest of the world you mentioned, since the Montreal Protocol (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol) has been ratified by all United Nations members and the European Union. Based on observed data, it also seems to have the expected positive effect.
An open socket/connection keep-alive isn't the site spying on you. Jesus. If you are really that paranoid then kill the web browser process after closing the tab.

An algorithm has finite length, but an infinite sequence of algorithms need not. For algorithm A to actually carry out "if the input has size n where N_i <= n < N_{i+1}, perform A_i", it needs to be able to generate the code for each of the infinite number of A_i's.
I think by "successful" they mean something like "successfully completed." Four attempts to kill Mussolini were carried out to completion, but only one actually succeeded in injuring him, while the others basically just missed.
Exactly what I thought. Maybe there was a civilization and they totally messed up their planet like we do now.

Only half joking by the way.
Taiwan has temperature checks to get anywhere and very effective contact tracing to segregate all potentially infectious individuals in quarantine. Coughs and fever, even if unrelated to covid, result in the individual having to spend some time in a hospital room. Its borders are almost fully closed to outsiders. Not only that, a culture of mask wearing has been normalized throughout east Asia for ages.

Do you honestly, honestly believe that Americans or Europeans at any level would have been able to transition to and adhere to such strict restrictions?
I personally think code ownership is vital. I've called it feudalism at times. Even if you're hiring a freelancer, they should own their part.

I've taken over lots of code from other people. Ironically the ones where there is no ownership are the worst - they tend to be overdocumented, overengineered, declarative and non-flexible. Whereas undocumented code from freelancers who loved coding was really easy to continue on. Caring about what you makes for better code than not caring.
If you had to have a unique address for every atom in the solar system (I avoided the Universe), what technique would you use? Still hash and casino dice for each one?
