Even if you're minifying, providing the .map file is the best of both worlds: users get faster transfer times and slightly more performant parsing, and for those that want the licenses (and even better, the ability to debug easily), they will follow the .maps of the minified code to the full, uncompressed versions.

Minify, include mappings, and you are good to go.

That being said, the most important point the author makes is to ensure that compression is on when you deliver your assets! Whether it be gzip, brotli, or whatever other arcane format, make sure for your users that it is on.
That is still fragile.

I have a policy of saying whether if is true or false.

You give us too much credit. Hold the size of the problem constant and spread the effects to more demographics. I guarantee there would have been a bigger response. We’re not that rational.
Just goes to show how faulty our recollection is that it changes what we think was history.

Best to actually look it up.

(hint: you won't find the 'do nothing for herd immunity' as a stategy, but you will find many newspaper articles speculating about it based on out of context quotes)

History gives a better record than our impressions from the news of the sensational at the time and our faulty memories.
His comment was more on the wisdom (or otherwise) of running an out of tree filesystem. I think its hard to disagree with him. He went on to say you would never be able to merge the ZFS tree with Linux. Again he's the one who would know what code gets in Linux. His only actual comment against ZFS was that benchmarks didn't look great - which is unsurprising given all the extra work ZFS is doing wrt data integrity than other filesystems in production use.

Yeah, me too. I've been hearing about 48v (used to be 24v) for what feels like ages now. I only sort of "get it". Seems Tesla had a great opportunity to jump into 48v, more so than legacy automakers.

On the other hand, if they had done it and it caused a bunch of problems, you'd have another Model X falcon doors issue. Tesla just doing something "to be different", and paying the price for it.
Sharing files is also a great use case.

We still don't have a good cross-platform way of doing that.

Look at those round vector controlled engines. It is Russian 4th (mostly 4+ as of today) gen engines. That is the reason Russia hasn't so far been able to build an F-22 competitor - for PAK-FA, out of the 3 key component of the 5th gen, they built body, not bad of a radar, yet they haven't been able to build a 5th gen engine as of today. China has as of today almost been able to replicate that 4th+ gen engine, yet still very far from the 5th gen.

Even more - Russia has actually officially given up on building the 5th gen. They decided to go straight to the 6th gen which is supposedly all about AI/networking/sensors/drones/etc. with engines playing only secondary role. Not that they have much hopes to succeed at the 6th gen game too, it is just recognition of reality that the 5th gen F-22 level engine isn't happening in the near future and thus they need a plan B. In some sense that leaves China totally on their own when it comes to the 5th gen, and that means like at least 10 years from the current state, and by that time the air will be dominated by the AI/drones/etc. In that sense AI engineers going to work in China may be more strategically important than the Honeywell drawings :) As an example - the current drone powerhouse dominating the region - Turkey - got their drones built by a returned MIT graduate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sel%C3%A7uk_Bayraktar .

great anecdote that definitely is proven by data!
You have deaths due to Covid directly, additonal deaths that come as a result of good policies, and additional deaths that come as a result of bad policies.

It's disengenuous to say Covid is the cause if politicians used hamfisted responses that led to more deaths than necessary.
Right, and that was enough. Forcing kids and people under 60 to stay home and social distance didn't seem to be necessary to avoid disaster. But California still did it for over a year, that is the price you paid. How many years of life did it save in California compared to letting people distance as they themselves deem necessary? Not that many.

Excellent comment by dragonwriter. Unfortunately, you're wrong about California, even if what you write is true in most places. You can read more about the history of water in Los Angeles here: https://waterforla.com/water/history/

Most today comes from the State Water Project, which pumps all the way from northern California where the Sierra Nevadas drain into rivers and this is the principle source for both Los Angeles and for the Central Valley. Los Angeles also still gets some from the Colorado River pumped across the Mojave, but this is arguably even more insane as it feeds four major metros in Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, none of which have their own local water sources to sustain a large city.

LA basin was a pretty terrible place to put the country's second largest metro. LA did originally get its water from local groundwater basins, but those tapped out when the population was still around 6,000. It was solved by building the original Los Angeles aqueduct to pump all the way from Owens Valley. What other city can say its most famous street is named after a water engineer?
Thanks for taking the time to write this primer!

Does the protocol have any kinds of countermeasures for bad actors? As an attacker, it looks like I could easily insert malicious nodes into the spanning tree in-between any pair of honest nodes with relative ease. From there, I could do things like:

* Selectively drop (censor) messages

* Gather message arrival-time and size data in a bid to deanonymize users

* Partition the network, denying service

* Eclipse a set of victim nodes, thereby allowing me to decide who they talk to

If your threat model includes node operators who can do this, one way you could at least make it harder for them to pull it off is to focus on reachability. You could make it so nodes discover the full set (or near enough the full set) through a random k-regular flood network, and have them rebuild a random spanning tree in regular intervals to "shake off" attackers. In addition, you'd want to find a way to make node ID generation both slow and expensive, so the attacker can't overwhelm the flood network with garbage state. As long as the total number of node IDs is small and grows at a bound rate, peers could feasibly learn the IP addresses of all other peers, and stave off partitions and deliberate route breakage.

Sure, but it would surely reduce the scale of these fake reviews. Right now, companies can buy reviews in batches of thousands; the only actual cost is in somebody/something creating that review and some overhead.

If Amazon also required actual purchase of that item, now there's the extra cost of actually buying that item. Even more so when you're talking about things that are expensive. This would drastically lower the amount of spam that could be generated unless the company wants to throw some huge money at it.

Returned items would still potentially be an issue, but I'm guessing Amazon already has things in place to kick off users that return too many items.
It’s not just that each node has two routing table entries - there are more routes available than just the keyspace neighbours. There are also plenty of transitive paths from other nodes seeking out their keyspace neighbours, and routes to the spanning tree root and ancestors that you learn effectively for free. It is actually surprisingly robust in the testing we have performed so far (some simulation, some with real world devices).
But, specifically, he mentioned that when asked why he works in that field. There are lots of different industries and different roles within those industries - my understanding is that marketers don't make particularly outsized salaries and as such it doesn't really logically click for me that you'd choose to work as a marketer to maximize the amount you could give to charity.

I could say that I specifically play board games because I need to repay my student loan - maybe board games are a slightly more economic choice than playing MMORPGs but these two qualities are only tangentially related and, if I made that statement - you'd probably be awfully curious why I thought playing board games was a tactic specifically related to paying off my student loan.

I definitely do feel they're harmful so while I'll try to remain neutral in logic I won't downplay the fact that I'm very much not emotionally neutral - but that sort of a statement specifically rings false to me, it sounds like someone trying to make an excuse.

Could you clarify what the paradigm of JS being asynchronous means? Usually, async calls are actually “async” in that you’re doing a network request or something actually asynchronous. The reason they have to be async is that you cannot just block all execution or else other things can’t happen while the network request is happening. Which means your entire application grinds to a halt. Other languages solve this in a similar way IMO, with async/await and actual threads. JS doesn’t have threads, so you can’t fork a process to handle network stuff apart from UI. I personally think that async/await is a lot more straightforward to use than forming a process.

Additionally, async/await allows you to wait when you need to. You don’t have to await a promise — you can just call it, and then it will work in the background. You’ll just not be able to respond when it finishes work. (Because you aren’t “wait”ing for it.)

What are some other examples with easier async in other languages? I’m just confused what you’re trying to get at. Everything in JS is synchronous. You only have async when you have async. Which is a lot, because a lot of stuff in the web is async.
Well that's a question of if you think the lockdowns were necessary or not. If you think they were, then of course excess mortality is due to covid. If you think they weren't then that excess mortality was due to unneeded human intervention. Of course the answer is somewhere in between, that is, some degree of lockdowns and therefore the deaths attendant to that were overzealous, and that throws this entire model in the trash.

> This makes me wonder why Amazon, in all their analytical genius, isn't cracking down on this when it's so blatantly obvious.

It's probably one of those situations where it's obvious, but not provably so.

It's like when you pass a huge pile of random bike parts in a pile next to a homeless encampment: it's 100% a bike chop shop, duh, anyone can see that...but you can't prove that it's a chop shop just based off of what you saw, so police can't take action without substantial further investigation.

It's easy enough for us as to consumers to spot fake reviews, but can you prove that they're fake just because they're repetitive or awkwardly written or whatnot?
My wording might have been ambiguous. I am sure you can scale Crossbar if you get the commercial version which supports clustering (hence IoT factories), however the open source edition is limited to a single running instance.
Ideology – do unit tests make type systems unnecessary? (2015)
Some people claim that unit tests make type systems unnecessary: "types are just simple unit tests written for you, and simple unit tests aren't the important ones". Other people claim that type systems make unit tests unnecessary: "dynamic languages only need unit tests because they don't have type systems." What's going on here? These can't both be right. We'll use this example and a couple others to explore the unknown beliefs that structure our understanding of the world.
> Namespaces don't come close to FreeBSD jails or Solaris / Illumos Zones. There is a reason Docker hosters put their Docker tenants in different hardware VM's. Because the isolation is too weak.

This is largely a myth, please provide an namespace-related CVE that has gone unpatched to support your argument. The reason they run as VMs is that hypervisors run on ring 0 and require higher privileges than the kernel, therefore they are naturally more secure. Like Namespaces, Zones and Jails are also managed by their respective kernels. If there were any major hosters running managed services for Zones and Jails, you can bet they would implement them in a similar way.

> Due to CDDL and GPL problems ZFS on Linux will always be hard to use making every update cycle like playing Russian roulette.

You're right in that the CDDL causes complication but I don't consider this to be a compelling reason to use Illumos. Many who want to use ZFS on Linux will use it and get it to work despite the licensing issues and complications.

> Like SMF offers nice service management while not providing half an operating system like systemd.

SMF is relatively nice (apart from the use of XML) and like you, I would not touch systemd barge pole. Despite systemd making a lot noise in major distros, there are plenty alternative distros for those of us who don't want to use it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Solaris guy, it made my career. I just fear that by dropping SPARC, Illumos have put the final nail in their own coffin.

> The "best" we have to offer today as "pure" business logic programing is some BPMN framework/platform.. and that is mostly hell of Earth..

Do cloud plateforms fall under BPMN frameworks/plateforms? From what I understand, it's possible to build applications today using cloud plateforms (AWS and Azure mostly, I don't know about the others) for auth, persistance, etc; while only writing your business logic, especially now with serverless where you only write functions.

In a way this is the return of the distinction between application and system, but the system is left to another company. This would fit with the (anecdotal) pattern I've noticed where before companies had cleaning people, IT people, etc and now everything is subcontracted to other companies.

I'm not sure how easy it'd be to link Covid infections to the Mexican border - they were having serious trouble even reporting accurate Covid death numbers, never mind anything more useful: https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-mexico-underreported-cor... The Covid outbreak there was really bad and would no doubt have screwed the US if something else hadn't earlier. Though it does look like the immediate source of US infections was an unfortunately large amount of travel from a global epicenter of infections which was somehow reporting zero cases at the time. (Something went really wrong in Italy, and the English-language media has completely failed to examine what happened there - probably because their leader is a boring technocrat these days.)
check out the vaers database. 3000 deaths already. you can sort by age group. middle-aged people who would otherwise have been fine with COVID (40's nurses) getting convulsions is certainly a lot worse compared to what people could get with COVID.
Apple switched from Motorola 68k to PowerPC, too, and Sun switched from 68k to SPARC. The Amiga, NeXT, early Palm devices, and the ST were also using members of the 68k family. That's an ISA born in 1979 and largely replacing (and inspired by) the 6800 (1974) which had a 16-bit address bus and 8-bit memory bus and its (binary incompatible but with the same assembly language) little brother the 6809 (1978). The Tandy Color Computer and the Dragon were notable 6809 systems.

That, of course, is just with the Mac since Apple previously used variants of the MOS 6502 (1975 and allegedly an illicit clone of the MC6800). Apple, Atari, Acorn, Commodore (the owner of MOS for several years), BBC, Oric, and Nintendo used it in multiple systems each. Apple, Acorn, and Nintendo built additional systems on its updated sibling the WDC65816 series (1983).

The the 6800/6809/Hitachi 6300/68k/Dragonball/Coldfire dynasty and the bastard MOS6502/WDC65816 families were collectively basically the ARM of their day in a way. Everyone targeting low priced or power-sipping was building platforms around them at one time or another. Acorn went from a customer to a major competitor and successor.

It should be noted that the PowerPC and the whole POWER ISA multi-platform family was largely inspired by Apple in the first place. They were talking to IBM about a new platform and invited Motorola to the talks as their long-time processor provider. They formed the "AIM Alliance" that eventually morphed into the POWER Foundation and OpenPOWER initiatives. I can't really speak to how much of POWER ISA is inspired by Motorola's own "RISC" processor, the 88000 series.

We are not playing paranoia. And you have a valid point that in this scenario it's not crystal clear that it was accidental.
I thought the point of minification was to obscure the code, making it harder to copy? As to "caring about the users", I would be surprised if more than 1 web reader in 1000 is the slightest interested in the source code. Makes more sense to optimise for the target audience.
> Minifying stops users from copying the code your site uses for their own sites

Exactly. There are countless JS-powered sites that for any multitude of reasons don't want it to be easy to extract their code. Ignoring whether or not that's "right" or ethical, those sites are fully within their rights to make it as difficult as possible to duplicate the work that they've put in to create their platform.
I would imagine if you asked most C-level and legal teams "is the code on your website something you want people to be able to copy at will?", 95%+ would say they don't want that to be possible, and you might even spur some of them to force their developers to spend time making it _even harder_ to copy.

Unfortunately, the web isn't the free/public/open-source utopia it once was, because a large majority of business takes place online. Sure there are niche sites that still cater to such ideals, but a majority of the population couldn't give a rat's ass if it's easy to copy the JS from Facebook/Amazon/YouTube/etc.

Yes. If nodes disappear then the next bootstrap packets, which currently run at a set interval, will find the next nearest keyspace neighbours and then sending setup packets will allow the network to build new paths. Similarly, the spanning tree also recovers by creating parent-child relationships using functioning paths.
