I think they're generally intended for use in SPA/PWAs.

I doubt the shadow dom is particularly crawler friendly.

Also, they aren't great at SSR though some frameworks try to fix that.

It would also depend a lot on how you were using/designing them.

If you were using slots and putting content inside of a custom tag, and just using that tag for display concerns, SEO would be just fine, though you may lose some semantic markup points.
But most of those are terrible! Google has actually gotten worse over the years, literally all I've ever heard about fraud detection is the vast amount of both false positives and false negatives somehow, speech to text is utter garbage where you have to repeat yourself, consciously annunciate, and not use tricky grammatical constructs, and the thought of the same tech behind locking me out of my credit card every so often deciding if I'm being "toxic" or not is frankly terrifying.

AI might be producing value, but only in the sense of getting half of the quality for a quarter of the cost.
Why didn't you profile the Python code and only rewrited the hot loops?
This is plainly false, if you would actually read what I linked.

We simply cannot grow at a 2-3% rate of energy consumption, period, without shortly running into thermodynamic limits of how quickly Earth can radiate excess heat into space. As I said before, this is while completely ignoring greenhouse gases and assuming Earth is a perfect thermodynamic blackbody. And the real Earth is not a perfect blackbody, so reality is inevitably worse than the theoretical limits.

This is entirely independent of the method of energy generation. It’s true of nuclear, solar, and even magical faerie dust. And there’s no getting around it, at least not unless our most basic understanding of thermodynamics is completely off base. Some future where we have “unlimited” energy is a complete fantasy.
Watch out, I get the feeling that "white supremacy" now also means other things. Remember we're all expected to be up-to-date on the latest definitions of Words To Describe The Bad People.
> Python can be ahead in the performance race. We just need to get real.

I don't know if this is the case. Python's entire value proposition is that it is "executable pseudocode" with an extremely low barrier to entry - so somebody like a scientist or business analyst can solve problems without a deep understanding of computer science. Those goals are always going to run counter to performance, and python would have to re-invent itself at a foundational level to actually compete on performance with languages which were optimized for it from the ground up. Python's already winning in a lot of super relevant ways from playing to its strengths, and I don't think it makes sense to compromise those strengths to reach middle-of-the-pack performance.

If you ask me, if the python community really wanted to advance their interests, the thing to focus on would be dependency management and project encapsulation. If I could have a ux like npm or cargo for python, I would surely be tempted to use it more outside of jupyter. But it would not be because of performance ;)
You should look at the political career of Lee Atwater if you haven’t, he was a Republican political consultant who was uncharacteristically candid about his methodology. At the very least, he thought Southern Strategy-style tactics were politically successful, and he may have been mistaken, but I think it’s hard to argue they didn’t exist.

Truly, I have a more optimistic view of normal people.

Those ads just stuffed every dictionary word permutation into the ad API. Can you imagine how much load that put on ad systems? I can totally imagine Facebook deactivating an advertiser who tries to upload and activate 1 trillion+ ad creatives and sets of targeting criteria, especially if their total spend was low.
> Well, the compilation step is alredy present in current py -> pyc phase

Yes, but developers don't have to ever interact with it.

> Also, look at how cython work

Cython works by adding a separate build step. Changing a Cython module requires you to recompile it, which is avoided with a JIT.
If you have an SSB radio that you can hook up to a PC's sound card using VOX to activate the transmitter, you can use WSJT-X or similar software to do lots of digital modes like WSPR, PSK31, FT-8 and whatever's hot these days. I think best practice for WSPR is to keep power low though, so don't go crazy :)
I don't know, they're not fools. I'm sure they have intelligence workers in their ear telling them about Baidu, and the power effectively owning the internet gives the US.

> Customer sets a monthly spend limit. Every time they start up an instance, create a volume, allocate an IP, or do anything else that costs money, you subtract the monthly cost of that new thing from their spend limit. If the spend limit would go negative, you refuse to create the new resource.

AWS systems are highly distributed; this kind of sharp billing cap would necessarily introduce a new strong consistency requirement across multiple services, many of which aren’t even strongly consistent considered one at a time (and that’s often true even if you limit to a single region.)

> Every time they start up an instance, create a volume, allocate an IP, or do anything else that costs money, you subtract the monthly cost of that new thing from their spend limit

For the motivating use case (avoiding a bill on the scale of even $200—possibly even $1—from a free-tier-eligible account), using monthly chunks doesn’t work; you suddenly couldn’t spin up a second simultaneous EC2 instance of ant kind after an initial t3.micro instance, which would cutoff many normal free tier usage patterns.

I mean, that’s a good way of capping if you are using AWS as a super overpriced steady-state VPS, but that’s not really the usage pattern that causes the risks that the cap idea is intended to protect against.

This is a particularly poor solution to completely the wrong problem.

> advocating for using facebook open source stuff.

IMO truly Open Source software that comes out of FB and GOOG are the silver lining - the output from them that you should consume guilt-free.

For a while IIRC FB had some onerous terms levied on their Open Source repos, I'm not sure if that's changed. But if they have sane licenses, we should embrace this work (while still rejecting their misdeeds).
Berkshire Hathaway is NYSE listed, so Nasdaq do not set those rules for them. If a primary market created rules to mitigate systems issues, they would be harshly judged for it, and likely lose business to competitors.
Interesting. After reading the back and forth between Signal and Facebook, I think Facebook’s argument is stronger.

It sounds plausible that Signal’s account was briefly suspended due to a payment issue, and someone in Signal’s marketing is simply mistaken, confused, and/or inexperienced at using Facebook’s ad campaign tools.
if a vendor makes use of the Windows Platform Binary Table then it can use the UEFI to persist even through a format. This is how Lenovo did the superfish thing (also used by various asset-theft-tracking services) and afaik it was never removed from Windows or the UEFI, Lenovo was just shamed into not using it.

You are correct activists use this undeclared redefinition of the term white supremacy to mean "someone that does not have a social justice activist mindset". Which is exactly the issue.

Why? It is a tool to utilize confusion to remove the targets moral authority. Both yes and no are bad answers that make you loose moral authority, which is the point of the power tool.

Never trust anyone that uses such a tool, as it shows that the activist attacker is willing to smear individuals they disagree with using deceptive language in order to reduce the unlucky targets moral standing. Is this someone that is worthy of trust?
That was a very, very, very long winded way to say "I'm sorry about what incels go through". I almost feel cheated to have read the whole thing without finding any substance :-/

The whole post strikes me as an example of how guarded we have become in our opinions... we have to build a fortress around discourse guarding against potential critics and justice warriors.
They forced us in high school to use a service called “TurnItIn” which I really disliked because they took ownership of your writing and added it to their database to diff against all future submissions.

It’s supposed to prevent plagiarism, but it made me frustrated to be forced to aid in this system or fail.

Being a public school student in the US sucks most of the time - no power and miserable adults. It’s like being imprisoned with some of the dumber, less successful people from the previous generation in charge of you and they have a lot of discretion over your future success.

Some teachers are great obviously and make a huge difference, but many are truly awful.

If they’re requiring services like turnitin as a matter of policy it’s not a surprise other stuff would be poorly handling student data too. School’s don’t value it, and even if they did - they don’t have the technical capability to fix it.
In the CPS document it said this is SHA256 fingerprint. So I run the following command and the value doesn't match. I have asked AWS support. They said it is out of scope. Mostly like the support team doesn't know either.

I don't know why there's still so much speculation as to what happened on this flight because it seems clear there's really only one explanation that fits the evidence: after leaving Malaysian airspace the pilot executed a series of maneuvers and turned the plane over the Indian Ocean where it either made a soft landing, filled with water and sank or crashed into the ocean. Given the minimal debris, it seems the soft landing may be more plausible.

The maneuvers, radio silence and timing of leaving Malaysian airspace all point to deliberate action. There are questions here like what happened to the cockpit crew.

As for the passengers, the most likely explanation I've seen is that the cabin was depressurized and hypoxia likely eliminated that problem.

Why? The most likely explanation is suicide-by-plane much like the Germanwings incident. It seems like this was even more premeditated such that a lot of effort was made to make sure the plane wasn't found, likely this was so the pilot's family would get a settlement as the pilot's actions couldn't be ruled a suicide without the black box.

Literally nothing else makes sense.

I don't know how long the black box can retain information, particularly given it's likely ~4km under the ocean and by now has been for years. It's a shame the extensive (and expensive) efforts to locate the wreck have all failed. The search area is remote and deep making search operations difficult and expensive.

This too seems to be by design.

It also seems quite likely that investigators having the pings from the plane to narrow down the search area was a flaw in that plan. The pilot was likely unaware of this possibility, which again is more evidence of deliberate action.

I do hope this can be settled one day.
It will drop when that happens, but it would probably not make sense to make that bet.

If you can construct a portfolio that exposes you to only that specific event (and not something like the further increases in value until that point -- seems difficult but maybe possible?) you might learn the probability of it happening at various points in time, through its price!

Maybe you'll find that portfolio seriously underpriced (another comment gave some potential reasons why it would be) in which case there's money to be made.

Not only that, e.g. Google's support for open source and open standards was huge at a time when not many did, for example.

When they first announced the Summer of Code the common response was "wow, Google really is special like that".
It sounds like the two of us have different ideas about what the GGP referred to as the issue when they said "You cannot build a solid baseline on an employee who can implode any second on the most miniscule issue."

I'll leave it to the GGP to clarify.
You’re not letting your cynicism show. If for no other reason, the lack of accessibility makes Flutter a toy project rather than something you’d professionally use to built a site.
He's famous for spreading racist rumors about McCain (he had adopted a darker-skinned girl) during the 2000 primaries. There's a documentary about him. Boogeyman? Something like that.
I would like to see past work history at either of these companies (Facebook and Google) be something that is critiqued and questioned during hiring. Being a past employee of Google or Facebook should make it harder for you to find another job, unless you can justify your participation in a monopolistic, damaging-to-society company. "The money was good" should not be a valid justification unless you were seriously pressed for money and other opportunities.
I feel like the last line should not be "what is base 4?" but "what is 4?". "By 4, I mean 10. But by 10, I mean 22."

The overall message I get is that the points of view are symmetric and that just seems like a failure to translate.
What surprises me about path reconstructed from immersat: the angle to the satellite is always the same, but the pilot didn't know (or care) the position of the satellite. So there is no reason to follow such a path (a straight path would change the angle) . This seems like a too big coincidence.

To me the only explanation (except a huge coincidence) is either a stationary plane or of course faulty data.
I’ve had mixed results. Page speed is excellent - I built out an SPA with ~60 or so components and my uncached first paint happens in about 400ms. Cached I get 250ms (this is on prod so it includes the server latency).
SEO is more difficult. I’ve been using the npm package prerender to serve up the page properly for Google/Facebook/Discord bots and for crawlers, and since using that I’ve had successful parsing, but at the cost of perceived performance by the bots (the prerender step adds about 2s to the pageload, which only the bots experience).
Sure, one could argue that AOL and Yahoo were overvalued at their peak. They had low existing earnings and the price was supported by expectations of magical new profits.

But that's a difficult argument to make for Facebook. Facebook is highly profitable - they have averaged something like 80% gross profit margins for a decade[1] while sustaining significant revenue growth. That's pretty much guaranteed that their stock will continue to appreciate - with margins that high they have a lot of room to play with things to keep growth going.

What metric makes it look like that is a greater fool situation?

This is why you have separate development and production accounts: a development account where you mindlessly click through so that you can learn through the UI what's available and how it works; cleaned up on a regular basis by something like aws-nuke, and a production account where you have the discipline to only create resources through Terraform / CloudFormation etc.

Not only is Twitter hard to follow, but these slides are poorly written. After a few reads I still don’t understand what he’s trying to say in #3 on the first slide. And after scrolling down the glance at the rest, I’m not sure I care. Seems like the author just wants attention.

Anyway, thanks for the screenshots.

You can totally write web components with Preact: https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/web-components/

From a quick skim of their docs, it looks like AMP still uses web components.

The nice part about web components is that the users of a library don't have to care about how it's implemented, so switching to preact is a transparent change.
Yes but do you honestly believe Facebook over Signal?
Facebook literally lied to Congress... Signal is about transparency. I seriously doubt Signal lied. They have no incentive to lie here, if the ad would have run they would have won, it didn't they're winning. It's a win-win for them.
life is swings and roundabouts. having nothing to give in return isn't romantic - it's humbling. it's depressing and devastating the one who has no choice but to accept and I'd rather they get out of their dump than thinking about my expectations. it's more important that they're OK to me than if they give back (which I trust will anyway happen because "swings & roundabouts").

I understand most people are more calculating. My own family who would keep tabs of what they give and receive so to never feeling they're in somebody#s debt. I'm like that in business situations, and to those who I know would do it to me, but not to those who are close enough to consider friend.

yes, this very much!
Even if the market has underpriced Buffett's death in BRK.A, wouldn't that be compensated by the liquidity risk you're taking on with $400,000 shares?
He created the BRK.B share class years ago and has split that once to keep the price manageable. It stands at 1/1500 of a class A share today. The B shares do have reduced voting rights relative to the A shares on a proportional basis.

As a user, the lack of compatibility with standard browser APIs is why I have such a bad experience with Flutter web apps and will avoid them when I can.

Flutter's rendering may be fast and efficient on native code, its performance sucks when I try to use it in my browser. A website bringing its own javascript-based DOM tree to my browser engine is just ludicrous.

Flutter for the web feels like a "we made an app, might as well create a web version of it because it's one click anyway" kind of solution in the same way Electron is a "we made a website, might as well make it an app" solution. Comfortable for developers, but terrible for end users, unless you're willing to give up most of the developer comfort to work out the performance issues.
It looks like:

1. Signal planned this as a PR stunt, anticipating that Facebook would reject the ads.

2. After setting up their ad account, the account or payment method was flagged for additional verification, triggering the dialog they showed in the screenshot in their blog post.

3. That dialog has a big red padlock that says "Ad Account Disabled". That's perfect for Signal's needs, so they stop here and don't even bother getting the actual ads reviewed and rejected.

Signal's post is careful not to say that the ads were rejected, only that their account was banned.

In response to the pushback, on Twitter, they posted another screenshot showing that the account was restricted, but still no evidence that they actually attempted to run the ads.
FYI: Poetry (https://python-poetry.org) is actually close to something like npm.
The parent proposed gating for warnings in the CI, not (by default) on the developer build.

I completely agree with this, as a dev I want to see warnings but I don't always want to have everything perfect from the start. The famous example here is -Wunused-arg. I DON'T want to fight this during development, when I often have prototyping stages where functions remain unimplemented intentionally. I very much want to avoid merging this into master though, so CI gating with -Werror it is.
Almost anything, including serious innocent misunderstandings, can be "one path along the road that ends in violence".

Had a cold water realization a few days ago that Doge, which has all the functions of Btc, in being non elitist, populist, and easily marketable because it's entertaining might very well be on its way to replacing Btc in market cap. Wall Street doesn't care about the underlying currency just returns; main street is going to like Doge more than Btc because it's not elitist. What's stopping it from dethroning Btc?
I'm in a similar position. There are several Google and FB open source projects that not only some of my co workers have advocated for, but that I would myself actually like to make some use of.

On the one hand, I think consuming their truly open source projects is a little bit of sticking it to the man -- you're getting for free something they spent money and time on.

But on the other hand, mindshare is a thing, and by using their products, even if truly open source, I am helping increase it.

For my own purposes, I have not used the Google or FB heritage of a given open source project to be an automatic disqualifier, but it is definitely a negative. If there are technically-comparable alternatives, I tend to lean towards those.
I’d remain anonymous too, I wouldn’t want to be harassed by the Breitbart crowd who’ve picked their sides on this one.
