Why does this keep coming up?

This was literally a problem at the time: a pandemic in China was resulting in a huge amount of local racism and ostracism of American Chinese descendants and expats, people who, by you know, being in a completely different country, weren't somehow magically more dangerous then anyone else.

The absolute most racist and non-sensical reaction people had to COVID-19 was to immediately decide that local asian people were immediately dangerous viral vectors.
And even if you injected millions of animals, they might happen to be species that deal perfectly fine with the proteins resulting from erroneous transcription.

It will never ever be included. That's not how protocols & specs work. They are modular and build off of one another. The linked article includes some examples: RFC9001 is "Using TLS to secure QUIC", RFC9002 is "QUIC Loss Detection and Congestion Control." These are expected capabilities of most users, but they are still defined out of the core spec.

Similarly, there is steady progress on a multipath extension to QUIC[1]. There is also a website https://multipath-quic.org [2] covering advances in multipath quic. Multipath capability, like TLS, like the standard congestion control, will never be included in RFC9000 / QUIC core. But it's advancing.

And, I'd guess, based off the connection-less nature of QUIC (and it's UDP underpinnings), it stands a good chance of being significantly better than MTCP.

Another big issue is the ability to seamless transition parts of your software between different programming models. We just don't have good solutions to this that I know of. The thing with SPAs is that you are probably worse off starting with a traditional server-rendered HTML web site and slowly introducing more and more interactivity, unless you know you won't eventually be better off with an SPA at the foundation (or unless you've planned and budgeted for that eventual rewrite).

React is actually great at embedding individual interactive components on a static HTML page (like an interactive chart or table component, or even a fancy button). You can go a long way just having your Rails app render a navigation menu and application shell, and each page just loads a big React component in the main content section. Great!

But then you need to update a little bit of that application shell in response to a visitor interaction or some newly-fetched data. Maybe one of your menu links needs a little red number next to it to indicate the number of unread messages. Still easy, with JQuery or whatever DOM manipulation library you're using. But then when the visitor clicks on one MessageRow component in your big MessageList React component and reads the message. The unread count didn't change! That's still easy to fix though. But pretty soon you're writing a lot of manual DOM manipulation code to sync every bit of data bidirectionally between every source of mutation and every UI element that depends on that bit of data. You'd be better off with an SPA, or at least with having React grow to own a little bit more of your application shell!

Where this line gets drawn is tricky, and I don't think the conclusion is "always use an SPA framework from the beginning of every web site project." But I do think the options to conveniently and maintainably use SPA frameworks to render traditional HTML pages on the server are improving a lot more than the options to gradually introduce whole-page-level interactivity to traditional server-rendered HTML frameworks.
I think I see where you're coming from. I was recently thinking of starting up a technical blog as a form of self-promotion and to have something to show to potential employers. But I also wanted to do something that I felt was good and worthwhile to readers. So I thought about the sorts of programming blogs I'd read in the past that I could maybe emulate or use as a standard. And then it occurred to me that, for the most part, they're either a waste of time, not terribly interesting, or even harmful. I've had better luck with reading textbooks, though maybe I just prefer to try and learn a subject in some depth. But when what you're really selling is your knowledge and expertise, I can see why people do it.
Another type of concrete construction in parts of Asia uses prefabricated, reinforced concrete members. Piers, beams, and panels with internal steel made in a controlled factory setting and having high strength. It's a bit like half-timber construction but replacing the thick timber with concrete. They also use similar concrete for telephone or neighborhood power poles.

They are brought on site and erected by cranes and pile drivers to build the frame of a house somewhat like with large timber. The panels are set across beams to fill in floor areas, and walls are closed with non-load bearing elements, whether brick, blocks, stucco, drywall, etc. I am not sure how well this method works for seismically active areas though, where you would need to tie those in-fill wall areas into the structure.

The distinction you are drawing is not relevant to the question or supported by the original claim:

>> The Devil Facial Tumour Disease" they suffer from is one of the few non-viral transmittable cancers.

That phrasing obviously contemplates the existence of viral transmissible cancers such as HPV.

If one person states "this is one of the few known non-viral transmissible cancers", and someone else follows up with the question "are there any transmissible cancers in humans?", how does information on transmissible cancers in humans get judged off-topic? Nobody asked "are there any non-viral transmissible cancers in humans?".
> but most people figure this stuff out in a reasonable manner.

That's getting tenuous. Fully 25% of the populace believe "alternative facts" that their Representatives claim are true, but those Representatives cite those very people as the source of truth! It's "citogenesis" in the real world!

For some reason, HN downvotes hurt my feelings more. I think it's because they're pretty neutral. With SO, you can downvote because it's not a useful solution or it's outdated or it doesn't work. With HN, people only downvote because they don't like what you said.

It works though. I've put more thought on whether my words hurt someone else's feelings enough for them to downvote me. I've cut back on the snark (which more often than not, is annoying rather than funny). It's a good feedback mechanism, but it feels a little strong because it's so rarely used.

And I think in some cases, there are things that need to be said and people who don't like hearing it. It makes me mindful that these are words that make people uncomfortable. Sometimes it means I'm on to something, but also that I should phrase it differently.
Thanks a lot, very helpful to me
Downvotes could be -0 for all I know. It's disturbing because it grays out your comment.
I think he predicted the opposite of what Bitcoin is now. Bucky thought a globally stabilized energy grid, along with computer facilitated time-energy accounting, would lead to a measure of "real" wealth and value of exchange. Bitcoin's value acts more like gold rather than a measure of exchange tied to the time-energy it takes for a "cow to convert grass into milk".

The idea that a world-connected electricity grid via ultra-high-voltage interconnections would lead to a different value of currency and wealth, one that would be more equitable in terms of energy is a nice idea and maybe it would pan out that way. I think a world grid would help solar and wind provide a bigger share of the load.

Under the right conditions maybe this is possible but for me it's harder to see now than when I first read Critical Path. I'm a little more pessimistic these days but I'm still a huge Bucky fan.

There are two key elements in this case:

1) Changes are triggered through regular mutation, not special API calls

2) Reactive dependencies are automatically determined

Oracle Software Was Used Against U.S. Protesters. Then It Took It to China
Have you ever been to China? There are rich kids there with Lamborghinis and polo shirts. And families with iPads at MacDonalds. And peasants on bikes pulling rickshaws. And an amazing variety of vegetables. And steak Dianne. And lobster Thermidor. And aluminium siding salesmen. And scientists trying to cure malaria. And clerks who commute on Vespas. And gorgeous 18 year old women with legs as long as giraffes dancing in discos. And grandmothers who do Tai Chi in the park at dawn. And violin players. There are even people a lot like you there. And trains. And theatres. And fireplaces and haystacks. And poodles. And nurses who stay up all night. And newlyweds, optimistic for the future who are already saving to send their not yet new born babies to college. And industrial designers. And floor polishers. And bums who want a cigarette. And guys who think they are Bruce Lee. And pretzels. And red wine.
Not sure I get what your comment is saying, but:

> making a web app that's great for users

That's what the goal is, and that's what SPAs enable. You can't build a modern web app without it being a SPA. The two are basically synonymous, I don't understand how there is even a discussion around this. No user wants to navigate to another page and lose their context. That's why the industry moved to SPAs. If you ever tried to manage complex UI state in the jQuery/Backbone/Knockout/etc days you would see that a React SPA is a huge improvement. It actually enables devs to build complex apps without getting bogged down in bugs.
I'm writing a book on web browser internals with Chris Harrelson, who heads the Chrome rendering team:

https://browser.engineering/

It's in progress but we cover the core architecture of a modern browser in some depth. It's funny you mention CSS recomputation... I have a student working on CSS and layout recomputations (with the Google Chrome team, who are fantastic) right now. It's a challenging and exciting area.
Its amazing how you simply assume my background with your post.

I am one of those immigrant children who was born in the US and speaks English as a second language, I was in ESL until the 4th grade until my parents thought that I was at minimum decent enough at English to figure out a way to ask for help if I got lost.

We were not rich, we had very little money

I grew up in my formative years in the inner city with mainly immigrant families.

In high school, i had many acquaintances who were studying for TOEFL. I don't really need someone explaining to me what taking these exams are like.

I studied for the SATs since the moment I could express ideas in English, and had nothing else to do at home because my parents were working, and in the 7th grade got a 1160/1600 on the SATs.

I have multiple friends who got into university through the TOEFL.

It is absolutely infuriating that the woke left wants to remove agency from experiences like mine and assume we are all stupid and unable to figure out how to succeed in a system.

I dont understand how the woke left thinks its appropriate to treat people like they don't have intelligence and agency and merely sit around waiting for the white man to help.

Web components have been a possible build target for Vue for a while. It seems totally possible to set up a Vue project like you’ve suggested, use all the Vue conventions & tooling, and output web components that you then use a la carte. Maybe I’m missing something about what you are looking for, but more details are here: https://vuejsdevelopers.com/2018/05/21/vue-js-web-component/

And I’m sure the same can be done in other frameworks.

Originally (TW2002 v1, early 90s) the game actually only allowed a single player at a time. Most hobby boards only had a single phone line anyway, so this wasn't an unusual restriction compared to other bbs doorgames of the time.

The first "multi-node" (simultaneous player) version was the MajorBBS/WorldGroup port of the game in the mid 90s. These BBS's were typically pay-to-access since they had many phone lines... not to mention the bbs software and games were way more expensive for the sysop to purchase.

The normal doorgame version (non-mbbs/wg) eventually had multi-node support too, but not until the late 90s. I vividly remember being blown away when this came out :) Most normal doorgames didn't offer this level of real-time interactive gameplay, as it wasn't easy to implement correctly in the confines of a 16bit DOS application. Each player had their own process running, and the door author had to figure out coordination/locking/IPC using just a few primitives such as shared files.
I'm not saying this shouldn't exist, because I'm sure it was fun to develop, and it helps the author.

But I really don't think this is better than `git add -p`.

I agree with you in spirit, though I feel like the issue is more about whether social media are common carriers [1] or publishers.

They shield themselves when they claim to be a carriers, yet act like publishers. The monopoly aspect, I agree, would be more important to speech, given they behave as publishers of what you may as well consider on-spec content.

I'd like to get clear on to what degree they should be considered carriers or publishers.

Except you will anyway, to do all those API queries you need to fill the page. That involves multiple handshakes back the server, and yet more server-side resources tied up.

No. There were links made between temporary immigration policies to limit influx from potential spreaders from ground zero.

Now, there were politically expedient implications of limiting immigration by "undesirables", made by the same hostile media that ultimately colluded to censor the lab leak hypothesis by

1. Refusing to cover certain topics
2. Correlating lab leak (and border closure) with xenophobia
3. Labeling all media that did report on the lab leak as unreliable ("fact checking")

This reversal of policy on lab leak reporting is an excellent opportunity for us all to take a step back and recognize how much of the socially acceptable anti-right wing hatred, and associations with racism, has been manufactured by so called "authoritative" or "reputable" sources that all coincidentally lean heavily in one direction.

> blatant misogyny (trying to exchange money for sex and blackballing her from deals if she refuses or talks about it). Those are things that men mostly do not have to deal with when raising money.

True that that's something men mostly don't have to deal with when raising money, but it's also something that makes it easier, not harder, for women to raise money compared to men.

It's also a weird thing to describe as "misogyny"; it sounds more like a problem with liking women than disliking them.
There are a few really specific situations where I would advise you to only attempt if armed with the most insufferably prestigious degrees possible (if you wanted to be a humanities professor at Oxford, for example), but for most industries there are plenty of ways in. Practicing medicine? Definitely can do that without the Ivy-tier prestige degrees.

You can probably call up some department at your school and get actual stats for what schools the pre-meds go to.

The prestige racket is real but it's not everything, it just wants you to think it is. Hope you can get away from the grueling college app process and let the wind blow those clouds off your sunrise a little. There's gonna come a day when you look over at your work colleague or close personal friend and realize you don't know where they went to school and you don't care enough to ask.
I'm not looking to argue for or against either side here, but:

"How I raised a $5.1M seed as a first-time, female founder" =/= simply referring to a woman as a woman.

"How I raised a $5.1M seed as a first-time, male founder" would certainly prompt questions about why male is relevant, particularly more so than attributes like low-income, immigrant, dropout, etc.
It's really hard to view this as suppressing scientific inquiry. Scientists don't use public Facebook posts to collaborate on their research, nor to share their final results with the rest of the scientific community. It's also very hard to picture social media giants ever blocking users from posting anything that comes from peer-reviewed published science.

I'm genuinely not quite sure what you're talking about. What remotely significant costs are being transferred from the server operators to the client? An SPA without SSR still needs to server a bunch of static data to the client (the JS app bundle). It also needs to look up and return any dynamic data the client app subsequently requests. The only actual computation being moved is the generation of HTML/DOM markup from the server data, and I can't imagine that being a remotely significant amount of computation except in some pathological examples like extremely large pages or extremely intensive computations required for rendering (like, I don't know, maybe some geometry visualization tools or something?)

No. That's not it at all.

If your page takes 3 seconds to show anything at all, your bounce rate will be stupid high.

If your page loads nearly instantaneously with placeholders, and then the content loads in over the span of 4 seconds. Your bounce rate will be significantly better.

Even though your page loads slower, it will be perceived as faster resulting in less users navigating away before your page starts rendering.

Perceived performance is only one factor but there are many other reasons why you offload things to the client.
VCs are necessary to accelerate progress. Especially in tech companies where R&D is so expensive up front and yet scales well when it's done. And a side effect of VCs is that it's more expensive to operate in the same industry as one.

This story has a very unusual level of meaningful content, presented with surprising clarity. The Ingenuity Project is an exemplar for how future space probe reportage should go.

I see two errors exposed. The first, attaching the wrong timestamps, looks like a simple coding error. The second, mixing navigational corrections into the closed-loop flight controls, is a much bigger booboo. It is to somebody's credit that the landing sequence, anyway, omits such input, although that might be just because they expected it to be going straight down. There is a right way to mix corrections into flight-control feedback, as an adjustment to calibration. But anyway navigational sampling also mixes in translation as a result of wind, which should not go into the control loop, but only into the goal seeking, at the next level up.

Somebody is learning a lot, in a short, stressful time, that could have been learned earlier from people who already knew it. Still, they probably won't forget it.
Dumb question. Why would it be secure to type your password into a site to find out if it has been pwned if that site isn't open source and auditable.
