Your project looks awesome, thanks for sharing! And yeah, hopefully new booking apps will have a lot of better options now than implementing the scheduling stuff themselves.
I always was under the impression people lowered the TTL when updating records... which doesn't even really make sense since the change won't propagate until the previous TTL is overrun anyways.

Then you were supposed to update it to a longer TTL when your change had propagated.

So, I guess, after understanding things better... there is no use case really since if it's a new record your change will always propagate, and if it's an old record, lowering the TTL on update doesn't really matter since the old TTL will still be in effect.
This doesn’t sound like what you were describing as a strategy before. Now you’re saying you have the same sites unblocked. In your previous comment, you advised that if the content is good, you can unblock ads then.

That is what I said is a common trope, but is an inconvenience, hard to remember, and likely not done by many if any people. You don’t appear to do it either.

Same with your tip jar. You say small sites which isn’t wrong. However in your case you’re only topping the same 2 dozen sites you go to.

Not every site or app has the same engagement necessities. If a site can be visited much less but is very helpful, it’ll likely get much less tip money than a less helpful but regularly visited site that gets your dopamine going. I’m not saying this as fact. It’s something I believe could be true with no backing.
Pretty much this. If you don't go to church, it is much more likely your friends don't either.
I wonder what this correlation looked like 150 years ago, when most colleges were religious too (including the Ivy League). Did the educated end up more religious? More likely to attend church?

If so, that’d add credence to the argument that it’s not education itself that makes modern day students more liberal, it’s the educational environment that does it.

Why? Can you expand on that?

It's in the U.S. Constitution. So implementing your ideal would take quite a bit of doing. What are you proposing? That the State control all labor and property?
Possibly. I was mostly talking about the specific mild flavour of Roman Catholicism practised by church we frequent here in London.
IIUC, this is not exploitable in the more common setups where the IP address is being sourced from the inbound request. It's only an issue when the IP address itself is supplied by the user as text. Using something like the "ip" field on an inbound request would not be vulnerable.
> woodworkers take pride in the finished product, and seeing that finish product being used. They are not all hot on the tools they use, and nor do they value the art of planing for its own sake.

Woodworkers are hot on the materials that go into their finished product and, for better or for worse, our language choice brings along a runtime and library that becomes the foundation of our digital artifacts.

Our toolchain matters and mastering more than one is non-trivial. Material world metaphors don’t map well to the digital world. I’m not a fan of Uncle Bob Martin and the tweet about Clojure in 2021 made me giggle but a mediocre proposal doesn’t take away from the importance of the underlying problem; our language ecosystem mastery defines the problem spaces we inhabit.

It appears that the second book is Roma Aeterna: correct?
I think that number is from the dredgers rather than the excavators. Dredgers (ships) can shift sand faster than dozens of excavators.
When the baby boomers are gone the percentage will drop tremendously. I only know of one or two people below the age of 40 that practice religion regularly. Definitely curious to see what the headline will read 30 years from now.
"People don't want a quarter inch drill, they want a quarter inch hole."

Leo McGivena, 1947

I will disagree with the title in that it is important to consider your means of production, and a language is not just a language, it is the opportunity cost of that language versus another in terms of efficient and accurate delivery of what the people want, support provided by others, the expertise in the market, 3rd party tooling and integration, and so on.

So you should give a shit what language you use, to give the people what they want the best way possible.
> Tayside and Central Scotland Moorland Group, said it was too easy to blame grouse moors, adding: "Hopefully the police can get to the bottom of it and people can be removed from unfair suspicion."

Literally the only group with a motive, and a strong historical precendent for similar activities in the industry, is upset that they are under suspicion. You couldn't make it up.
> Don’t ask rhetorically why people don’t simply do a thing [emphasis mine]

Though asking with curiosity, humility and joy, can convert an "argument from failure of imagination" into a "It seems my understanding of the world isn't matching the world! Yay! Learning opportunity! Help me leverage this, let it not slip by unexploited, please?". Those can be wonderfully Aha! fruitful. First step of a bugfix is finding a failure case.
Great link. That was the diagram I had been wanting to see.
> There does not seem to be a shortage of church variety to choose from.

I think this is a deceiving metric. Most churches are less places of worship or religious education and more social clubs dressed up in religious phrases and iconography. There are so many of them because each is designed to appeal to a particular social group, but they all feature a very similar watered down message that just reinforces the congregation's preexisting beliefs. They tend to focus less on education and more on community events, activism, fundraising, and growing their community - just like any other social club.

If you're looking for a church that genuinely teaches its congregation, that's much harder to find. They don't tend to be as successful in terms of growth or wealth. To teach someone, you must either add to what they know or challenge something they think they already know. Most people don't like being challenged - they'd rather go somewhere that reinforces what they already think or just ditch religion altogether.

It's no surprise that the social club churches are disappearing. Even the least devoted members of a church congregation feels bad leaving, just as they might feel bad cancelling a gym membership they never actually use. But their kids often have no such attachments.

Outrage sold stacks of newspapers long before TV was invented.

The term "Yellow Journalism" was coined with shady stories in WR Hearst newspapers.

In the graph you can see a 3% drop in the last year or two alone. And the fallout from covid probably hasn't reached membership rolls yet. Culture shift aside, we will likely see a big drop this year as well, since faith needs to be cultivated, and relies heavily on community.

I'm personally holding out for a resurgence, as people see how morally bankrupt our culture has become (e.g., the Emmys viewership dropped almost 50% this year), and how uninterested our elite are in doing anything substantial for the econimic underclass, aside from manipulate them for their own political ends.
I don't feel like Xcode is a good example of developer tooling ubiquitously popular because of developer preference. If you want to develop for iOS it's a requirement.
But those are no valid use cases which was my question. So there are no valid use cases at all?
One of them is uppercase in the actual code.

Great project and looking forward to the mystery release at the end of the week.

I've been waiting really for one major feature request to be more comfortable with Supabase. It is SSL/TLS when connecting to the postgres database. I feel perhaps paying for something you're forced to use unsecured/plaintext connections is quite risky, especially with your core data and logins too! My 2c anyway..
ipfs is great for this as it eliminates the manual file publishing and hash verification steps. you can publish the ipfs hash and when you want to disclose publicly, you can start providing the data on ipfs and everyone can download the file that belongs to the hash.
> A lot of what people thought was true (that it would be stuck there for weeks, being dismissive of using tugboats to pull it out) didn't pan out as expected.

That was what many investors thought - see crude oil market in last days. There were two tribes - one saying week and second month(s) to solve the problem with ship. One selling, because of optimistic perspective and obviously other buying for opposite reason. In the result the price was standing still on the "same" level.
> 1) Yes, when most of the job is public facing.

That’s no good. In open source projects all commits are public facing. All developers give talks at meetups and cons. If this is the standard we’ll have then we’ll end up in a worse place.

If you're not allowed to change the orthodoxy, then the contribution of that generation's greatest minds would by definition be heterodoxies. So what you are really saying is that we should expect the most-patched-up theology to be found in the most recent versions. :)
This is something I happen to know a bit about, since a while ago I had a long conversation about this on a conlanging forum [0]. Unfortunately, I can give you no citation for this — quite the reverse! In fact, the general consensus seems to be that languages are not at all equally complex. My understanding is that statements to that effect are usually considered to be effectively a ‘lie-to-children’: not wrong as such, but certainly over-simplified. As Mark Rosenfelder says so eloquently in the linked thread:

> [Saying that this statement is wrong] … seems to me to fundamentally misunderstand why Linguistics 101 books say things like this. … It's because non-linguists are obsessed with which languages are better than others, and complexity is part of that. They want to hear that French is more logical, Italian is more beautiful, Arabic is God's language, Phrygian is the first language, etc, etc. They want to hear that the standard languages are better than dialects. They want to hear that primitive cultures speak primitive languages … linguistics professors all run into it and get tired of it and throw in some stuff to combat the myths.

Also, some linguists have put forward examples of genuinely simpler languages. Most famously, David Gil has suggested that Riau Indonesian is fundamentally simpler than other languages [1], but I’m sure there’s other examples.

That being said, I have a dissenting opinion: I think the vast majority of languages are indeed at about the same level of complexity (with exceptional cases like Riau Indonesian and creoles). Again, you can find some intensive discussion of my claim in the linked thread, but basically, my claim is that a lack of sophistication in one part of the grammar tends to be balanced by increased complexity in another part. e.g. Turkish has lots of suffixes making its verbs very complicated; English doesn’t have this, but compensates by using lots of auxiliary verbs with intricate rules for ordering and combining. Kalam only has about 200 verbs in total, but compensates with detailed rules for combining those verbs to give different shades of meaning. And so on and so forth.

Let's not get too carried away ripping on Bob. Clean Code is the "Wealth of Nations" of software engineering. Lots of pages of examples and discussion somewhat steeped in the time but nevertheless containing a sentence or two that make everything click and cements an inevitable and pervasive set of core ideas on the subject.

I wish we could bring ourselves to value writing code that is accessible instead of conjuring up gibberish that reads like a pretentious scientific journal. Uncle Bob has literally been saying that we should write code that anyone can understand easily. Hardly a radical elitist concept.
Being expert in adjacent domains is sometimes worse than being clueless. The ratio of actual to assumed expertise seems to get worse. Navy captains vs shipping boats, geologists vs climate scientists, programmers vs cpu design, etc etc. You can very easily not understand subtleties, comment on a thing, and then people listen to you.

100 KBytes is quite bloaty for a C64 program and wouldn't even fit into RAM in one piece ;)

But anyway... wouldn't the better and "obvious" solution be to move foundational things like the above mentioned UNICODE tables into operating systems (if they're not already provided) instead of shipping them with every application?

After all, what's the point of operating systems if they don't provide commonly needed services (and I wonder if such solutions had even been considered for said Rust libraries).

PS: One situation where binary size matters a lot is WASM running in browsers. It's not just download bandwidth, but also the time it takes to compile the executable. We're now back at WASM binaries stuttering on startup for a few seconds because the JIT needs to "warm up". For a very short time, when WASM was AOT compiled, this wasn't an issue. But it became an issue as people became careless about binary size and just-in-time compilation had to be reintroduced to cope with massively big WASM binaries.
Don't think this is true. From wikipedia it seems like this was a pretty straightforward dispute over pay and conditions.

Spot on -- that's the point. Spew BS and any sort of race / gender / class / whatever bating and then have the hoards of folks rush in to clarify, argue, pushback, and fight for nuance.

After a year or two of that, no one feels a need to do it. It's exhausting, and eventually leads to disengagement.

This may be a very bad idea.

But as (in the words of the at-present top comment) a fundamentalist adhering to scriptural literalism (aka a conservative Lutheran) [addendum: who does not hate everyone], I feel compelled to offer to answer questions anyone might have for me, so AMA.

I don't really want to individually respond to everything throughout the rest of the comments, but I will begin by saying that most churches have either very little by way of actual bible-based doctrine, or very little by way of in-depth theology. (Prosperity gospel/megachurches fall in the latter, a decent portion of other churches - eg. the Roman Catholic Church - fall in the former.)

Responses will be sporadic throughout the day, I'm a bit busy at the moment, but I'll do my best to get to it.
I'd imagine a lot of explosions too. Most big excavation back then used explosions but also a lot of individual manpower as well.
Yea. If I had a nickel for everytime a customer asked "Can your system handle hundreds and thousands of concurrent users" and when asked how many they have now, the answer is "Oh we are just starting out but wanted to plan now", I would be a gazillionaire.

While I agree that there is something important to be said for maintaining a sense of community, it obviously does not require any kind of supernatural belief to do so.

I would argue that the cost paid by society due to the institutionalized anti-intellectualism embodied by the church and largely embraced by the government far exceeds whatever communitarian benefits the church itself contributes to society.

Let's find those benefits elsewhere.
I would say no. I think they should go public domain, as that's the future.

One of the funniest/best business models out there is SQlite (https://sqlite.org/copyright.html). They give it away to the public domain, but some lawyers wrongly claim that that is not enough, so they will "sell" you a warranty asserting it is all public domain.

My own experience being raised mainline Protestant was a bit different which might be illustrative: My parents were not at all devout, but still took wisdom and moral lessons from the Bible, especially from the teachings of Jesus. At the same time the preachers in town leaned right in their beliefs and focused on reading and interpreting more obscure passages. This resulted in a modest ongoing tension about what exactly it all meant. Then one Sunday School a conservative leaning preacher taught the kids how to spot witches. That was the last straw and we never went back to Mass or Sunday School and gradually withdrew from everything else with Easter and Christmas being the final holdouts. So I drifted to atheism but still find wisdom in the Bible and dare to compare the passages that focus on Jesus to stories of the Buddha. Culturally there is still quite a bit of influence there, but the fundamentalist component is a massive division like a great wall.

As much as I appreciate your level headed approach of the whole thing, the very basis of most religion is based on _faith_ that [insert relevant scriptures] are holding some truth about the very existence and power of [insert omnipotent entity]. I'll be honest, I have a hard time putting this very fundamental point as having any basis in logic and reason. Even putting beliefs at the same level as reason is rather questionable, IMHO.

Edit: I'm not here to tell you you're wrong or to question your beliefs. You're very much free to hold them. I'm just having a hard time equating religion with objectivity when they are fundamentally rooted in something subjective by nature.
It's always been programming as a craft to create something of beauty vs. programming as an engineering pursuit to produce something that solves a problem.

Sometimes they overlap, but folks like UCB, DRY, SOLID, TTD, whatever the oft repeated mantra / person, miss the forest for the tree. Define your goals in terms of how you'll solve an actual problem:

"Implementing this new abstraction to follow DRY reduces the time it'll take for a new feature to be added since it encapsulates X, Y in a higher level interface and reduces boilerplate code". Great, go for it. I refactored half the project to remove 3 lines of easy to find but copy and pasted code? Not so great.

It is the difference between a junior and a more experience programmer. How does this >thing< you're excited about reduce code entropy, increase confidence in correctness, make it faster to iterate on the code in the future by other developers? That's mostly what I care about. The >thing< can be a language, library, framework, design pattern, etc. that you read about. Of course in specific cases you'll have performance, strict correctness, security, etc. that you're also solving for that's factored in.
