This only applies to the first request until the cache expires.

If a client makes 50 requests before the cache expires, then those will all be based on the cached result.

This is still efficient enough that there's probably no more than a single DNS hit for every web page load, even with a short (say, 5 second) TTL, because most web assets will be loaded within that five second window. (If your web page takes longer than 5 seconds to load, you have far more significant issues than a few UDP DNS requests.)

Whether the list of invalid use cases are straw man arguments are left as an exercise to the reader, but this article seems to be arguing only one side of the perfectly valid trade-off between flexibility (low TTL's) versus latency (high TTL's).

In other words, if high TTL's are so great and there's no compelling reasons to not use them, why not make them one year? Ten years?

On the other hand, many (probably most) applications can probably absorb a five-minute outage without anyone screaming too loudly.

Clearly there is a balance between "long" and "short" (probably somewhere between one second and infinity). It's good to think about these things and optimize for lower latency, but if five-minute or longer TTL's simply don't fit your use case, then don't feel bad about it.

I've been using 5 minute TTL in production for years, never noticed any problems with it. It has the advantage that it makes it super simple to deploy to production at a moment's notice, in case something unexpected occurs.
I'm not sure if it makes sense to connect those two. Is there any more political zealotry among atheists than among the religious?
As a believer that Jesus is God and he controls the whole universe and the lives of all people, I am not too concerned about church membership percentages in a particular nation in history. Whoever God calls to be his children will follow him, and they will find each other. Jesus is the head of the church, and people who don't believe in him have no part in it. I would hope that unbelievers would hear the good news of Jesus and be drawn to him and have their hearts changed.
This seems naive. When you see Twitter threads cancelling people, your colleagues aren't going to make a dent in that mob even if they are brave enough to stand up for you on public platforms.

Honestly, if it's so risky to give candid advice to anyone, why take the risk? There's no reason to. They can make it on their own afterall.
I think the journalists heard the nuanced explanation from the experts on the mask recommendations, instead of the simplified one that is criticized in the article. Journalists have biases and a media diet too, so it's possible they heard the whole story from the start and didn't see the controversy.

Personally, I'm surprised this article suggests Fauci lied, because I definitely remember reading about the full explanation behind the CDC's recommendation against public mask wearing way back in March 2020. I remember reading that the recommendation against public mask wearing was mainly due to supply chain concerns, and that the general public should use improvised masks instead, if they can.

...maybe a lot of people only heard the short soundbites instead of the full story...? I'm just speculating here.
This looks good!

I emigrated from another country to the US and, having participated in religion in the past (even if just for socialization), became frightened to discover that American churches (at least 90% of them) are nothing more than a cover to conservative political activism.

Show HN: Canopy – API first loan servicing infrastructure
Hey HN,
I’m Matt the cofounder and CEO of Canopy (https://canopyservicing.com/) - we are building an API first loan management system (LMS). All companies who offer lending or want to offer lending have a need for servicing infrastructure. Most startups get off the ground with a system of record that is mutable (Google sheets in some cases) and almost always have trouble handling time. Things happen in the past (payment reversals, charge backs, etc…) but the minute you edit the past, you affect the integrity of the data. And when you remove or add an event to the past (or future) then all other events in the queue need to be reprocessed. At scale, this creates a ton of performance issues. This is why most systems are not real-time and are built on standard cycle dates - try asking your credit card company how much interest will be saved by overpaying your min due tomorrow at 2pm.

Canopy is an immutable, line item level system of record based on an event driven architecture. Each event on our system processes in real-time and can generate an offset (retroactive event) while still preserving immutability. Our actual vs effective at end points make migrating off existing dbs simple. We make financial product creation quick, real-time, and can flex to multiple asset classes (i.e. can support card programs and multiple processors via webhooks). This saves a ton of time and headaches for developers.

We are just coming out of stealth and opening up our sandbox. Feel free to play around in our sandbox here: https://canopyservicing.com/

Would love your perspective and feedback on what we built. Happy to answer any questions.
Scientists Figured Out How to Turn Food Waste into Jet Fuel
Reminded me of the Kathryn Spirit ; "After years of immobility, the federal government awarded an $11-million contract last year to a conglomeration of businesses to dismantle the ship. Ironically, one of the companies picked was the same one that abandoned the wreck in 2011."

Where: "years"=8

"Built in 1967, the Kathryn Spirit has not had an owner since 2015, at which point the federal government took control. The ship, which had been used as a cargo ship in the past, had been towed to Beauharnois in 2011 by the Groupe St-Pierre, which wanted to dismantle it in the St. Lawrence River to then sell the scrap metal."

I write compilers for fun (hobby) and I just transpile my IR data structure to C++ (I'm also experimenting with other targets like Haskell (similar to agda compiler) and Rust (work in progress)). My friends usually treat this approach "too amateur" and a "real language" should compile all the way to assembly. The reason I don't do that is if you transpile to a well-known language and then manage that compiler to go all the way to machine code, you get insane amount of optimizations for free. Like C++ compilers are so good, you rarely need think about low-level optimizations, as long as your program is asymptotically sound (i.e. you don't keep random inserting into an array) it gives pretty good performance regardless.
The non-gendered term for "Boy Scouts" is simply "Scouts" or "Scouting" [1]. So if you need a non-gendered name, just call it "Scouting".

And the word 'scouting' already means "moving ahead of a group to gather information", which makes sense in the software engineering context too.

I'm a native English speaker, and I also had a hard time finding the lie. Especially when the context shows that masks were not "not recommended" due to potential lack of efficacy, but due to shortages.

Clearly if they were being recommended to front line workers, etc, they are expected to have at least some efficacy.

Personally, I think it's a bad example of "experts lieing", even if it is potentially a lie under some very narrow reading.

> In fact, you don't even need to be a religious organization to hold such beliefs. See: Alcoholics Anonymous.

Alcoholics Anonymous is an explicitly religious organization is it not? To me they certainly cast themselves so strongly in that manner that to claim they are a not is to make a distinction without a difference.

Note: I have not attended ?A itself but spent time with adjacent ?anon groups designed to support people whose friends and family members are struggling with addiction. The messages I received were, to me, pretty hard core religious, and one specific kind of religion in particular.
I agree with everything you said. I’ll also admit, it’s hard for me to see much difference between today’s “religious right” and the temple market that Jesus personally wrecked.
This speaks directly to the parents point.

Zig does a really good job at finding bugs in LLVM every time the LLVM version is updated.

And Zig developers also do a very good job at reporting and fixing them. Which is why contributing to Zig also means contributing to LLVM.
This isn't true.

Secular society is an example of this. We have common goals that we work towards.

We don't have words for "gather once a week and do xyz" in many context, but that doesn't stop us for doing it.

Join an electronics club and meet up every week for the next 10 years. People do this ALL the time and it isn't an issue.
High tide did more than anything. If it had gone beyond Wednesday they likely would have been screwed as the high tide was set to start dropping each day after Tuesday. Good thing they started dredging right away.
Really depends on other changes. Say you change some variable name since whoever was there last forgot to rename something while they did refactoring. Couple days later someone fixes a bug that is related to this variable in some other way. Now you can't simply back port the bug fix commit into earlier release because it relies on a commit that introduces a feature that is not wanted/needed. Obviously fix is simple enough either edit the commit to also contain the variable change or make a tiny "dummy" commit that just contains the fix.

Now whoever is making this decision is cursing you since you could have just made the dummy commit in the first place and prevented this extra work that went into figuring out when the bug fix commit alone wasn't working/compiling.
My anti-religious sentiment goes far beyond that. I could not care less if people believe in science fiction. We all believe lies, don't we?

My problem is that religions dictate universal truth, which is used as a justification to oppress. Many of us were abused or oppressed by mainstream religons as children.

I think ai is more likely to want to wipe us out than have sex with us. There are so many things to dislike about fallable, fragile humans. We make intentional spelling errors, we draw outside the lines on purpose. Any attempt to try to make this happen would likely result in such a level of frustration on the machine side that it would make a vindictive move to wipe out all of humanity.

If you mean AGI (artificial general intelligence) it's definitely not here yet.

They don't, though, or at least they didn't always. No less a Church authority than Saint Thomas Aquinas said ensoulment didn't happen before quickening.

I quickly got addicted to Monster Energy drinks working at a Lowe's Hardware store across the street from a gas station; always been a caffeind. When the coffee ones came out I would do a 2 for and drink two during a break.

Anyway, at 21 I decided to use Jack3d, back when it was damn near Meth, it had DMAA in it. I didn't know this but being the 250lb 6' guy I was, slinging grills and landscaping stuff all day, I bucked up and took the "max dose" of it the first time.

Shit, I hit the gym, did extreme cardio on an elliptical for over an hour, lifted weights with some random ripped bros, and when my girlfriend came after work I stayed and ran further on the treadmill than her and her friend. Just the readouts from the elliptical and treadmill were almost 2200 calories.

Even afterwards when we went home I couldn't wait for us to shower before laying into her I still was so wired. A year later she was talking about that night...

Yea, I bet like hell someone that hasn't ever messed with stimulants can be turned sideways by them.
Yes, a surprisingly short read.

Reading it I couldn't help but see Jesus as something of a troll. Like in this passage:

JESUS went unto the mount of Olives.

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

And the scribes and Pharisees brought in a woman caught committing adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

They say unto him, Master, this woman was caught committing adultery, in the very act.

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

This they said, to test him, that they might have cause to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.

And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

And they which heard it, began going out one by one, beginning at the eldest: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, he said unto her, Woman, whither are they gone? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
An all time classic presentation posing as a mix of comedy and education. The accuracy of his predictions thus far has me worried about whether the war prediction might also be right as well. I think one development that has side-tracked the prediction that "JavaScript will become the most popular language -- and nobody writes JavaScript anymore" is the rise of TypeScript and the additions to ECMAScript added in the interim.

Still makes me wonder if an operating system where JS runs in kernel mode would actually work or if that was just part of the humor section.
> Anything over 35 is a worthless test that's a false positive.

That's not a false positive. False positive happens when there are no viral particles in the sample, but the test comes back positive. Those are very rare with rt-PCR and can usually be tracked down to cross-contamination. Cycle count has nothing to with those.

If there is no SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in the sample, there's nothing for rt-PCR to amplify.
"We ask that the use and possession of Proof-Of-Work cryptocurrencies be banned, with a one year max wait period to let the various projects transition to other technologies, like Proof-Of-Stake (so that nobody loses money, and this is already happening in Ethereum)". Ugh, I think that says it all.

It absolutely is. The courts have their take on it, as expected, but the spirit of a strike remains consistent despite laws against it. A strike, by definition, cannot be illegal. That includes armed forces and every federal employee.

Whether existing legislation recognizes certain types of strikes as legal or not is irrelevant. Civil disobedience has deep roots in American history. This is an analogue to that, given that their rights to strike have been struck. (pun intended)
Not all religions posit an afterlife.

Though, I guess a meaningless death is scarier than death, and nearly all religions are attempts to form meaning in life when there's no empirically obvious meaning.

> You should wear masks in public when you are vaccinated because while you're protected from severe symptoms, you can still carry the virus and transmit it to others.

You say this as if it's a fact, but as of 2 days ago, we still don't know the answer to that question. Unless you have a source I'm unaware of?

> Yea but...they are not low for a significant portion of the population

Heart disease is a large risk for an even more significant portion of the population, yet McDonalds is still open and people can still choose to eat there?

Once the vaccine is widely available (and it already is for the at-risk groups), it's up to those who are at-risk to get themselves vaccinated. If they choose not to, well, that's their prerogative to assume extra risk and I no longer have any obligation to protect them (at least, not any more than I protect my obese friends from heart disease).
>No, I have come to divide people against each other! 52 From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or two in favor and three against."

This is somewhat oblique to the point you're making, but I find a lot of bible passages totally incomprehensible. What is Jesus saying here? That families will likely be for or against him, and that families will consist of 5 members, and each family will have an uneven split? (2-3 vs 3-2) It seems like a very pedantic and odd way to make the point I believe the author is trying to make. Does this rely on an old colloquialism? Is there some reason it's phrased so strangely? Would it not have sounded strange to contemporary ears?

I actually had a bit of a shock when I finally read old Greek writing: Herodotus, Plato, etc. Everything they write is meant to be clearly an precisely understood. Depending on the translation, the writing feels simple and modern. I had naively expected all old writing to be like the bible: incomprehensible, metaphorical, nonsensical.
I did a little searching about the spectral characteristics of Parkinson's tremors. Most sources say that the tremors are confined to a frequency band of around 4 to 6 Hz, with many of the graphs having a sharp peak and all significant power concentrated into about 1 Hz [1].
