So that looks like a stock Varnish 503. I'm pretty sure the magic behind fastly is a ton of Varnish cache. What's interesting (VCL can be unforgiving), also that it was a big central stuff up. Which makes me think they have layers and layers of caching in depth and some top level config just blacked out everything. I kind of would have thought they'd have lots of small instances.
That's not really a solution. The average user will not read security warnings, and will just click through them. Especially if they're being actively social engineered, the attacker can easily talk them through anything they don't understand.

The people who need this functionality are a very small minority. Tampermonkey has 10M installs which is phenomenal, but Chrome apparently has an estimated 2.5B active users. The tradeoff here is exposing billions of users to unnecessary risk, to save two orders of magnitude fewer of the most tech savvy users from an insignificant annoyance. I.e. just use a browser that supports the extensions you need instead.
> Monads and other functional paradigms allow us to write and interact with impure code in a pure way and mindset.

No. You can't interact with impure code "in a pure way". That makes no sense whatsoever.

I don't think you read the article I linked to earlier. Here it is again:

? The government takes enormous risks that no private citizen or company ever would. Extremely long term esoteric research that might never earn a profit, investing in programs that don't earn any financial profit (healthcare, firefighting, public libraries, etc.), huge loans and grants to cutting edge businesses that might fail (Tesla, Solyndra, Moderna, etc.), building up huge stockpiles of resources in case of emergency, and so on.
I’m sure there will still be a good number of people wearing them places like stores for a while, since we get so many tourists. I’d bet people continue to think, “why not?”, while it’s still spreading.

Most people spend 99% of their time with friends, family, or trusted coworkers anyway.
The problem is that you have to know exactly what has gone wrong to show a proper message. But if you know what is wrong, most of the time the correct action is to fix the program so it does not go wrong instead of showing a better error.

With the main exception of user submitted data validations where it is up to the user to submit correct data. For the average web service, there the error is a stack trace and there is nothing the user can do so a blank screen with a "something went wrong, we have logged this erorr" is the only real option.
> Yes, but that met expectations of that time period,

As peer poster said, expectations years ago were higher than today. It is frustrating how common it is for sites to think that downloading multiple MB of code just to show a simple page and having it take seconds to render is somehow ok.

The expectations used to be ~100ms for a page load and render back when I was working on high performance web servers (~15 years ago).
Which explains why China has spent hundreds of billions of dollars trying to catch the US tech advantage? Please. This is comically false.

I'm confused by the notion that "double taxation" is something this is obviously to be avoided.

Let's say that a billionaire sells $1 billon of appreciated stock a year before their death, and pays the full capital gains tax on it. They die, and their heirs inherit the $1 billion of cash. Would you argue that it would be unfair for these heirs to have to pay an additional inheritance tax on this because this would be "double taxation"?

Presumably not, or if you did, presumably it would be because you believe that inheritance tax is inherently bad, and not because the tax was already payed. Alternatively, consider the same scenario where the was no capital gains, and instead the stock was sold at the same value it was purchased at.

This isn't to mean your conclusion is necessarily wrong, but I think you should look closer at your argument to see if it's as strong as it should be.
I'm curious to know which profitable companies never advertise.
Haven't heard of this until now. Looks like a cleaner version of Bootstrap?
Have you tried to convert those requests into one-off sponsorships to develop the feature they need? Sounds like a win-win. From my experience with procurement you just need a high enough number to make it worth their time.
CBT is a form of psycho-therapy and recent studies have shown that it's solving depression and anxiety more than traditional psycho-analysis and yes, better than medication.

Major advantages are no side effects of medication and it's a robust statistical process where weekly anxiety and depression levels are measured and methods and treatment is adjusted.

I used react(Nextjs) + Chakra-UI and firebase as backend.
> if they wanted to sue they would have to do so in your state

Not always true. Careful. Some states don't allow you to sue out-of-state defendants in small claims (e.g., North Carolina, last I checked), but some states do (e.g., Virginia, again, last I checked), so long as they have constitutionally sufficient contacts with the state.
False dichotomy. They could also show 3rd party timer and flight widgets in the search results.

excellent summary of the problem.
Web components are a great brand for a collection of mostly awful APIs. Shadow DOM in particular should have just been a CSS property from the start. Glad to see someone starting to recognize this.
Stan isn’t really written in any of those languages either.

The python pystan is wrapper that ships data to/from the Stan binary and marshals it into a python-friendly form; I think Julia’s is similar.

I’m not exactly volunteering to do it, but a PerlStan would not be that hard to implement. As for scientific communication, a point you raised above, I don’t think it’d be too bad. Most readers of a paper would be interested in the model itself, and that would be written in Stan’s DSL regardless.

It seems like there might be some room to maneuver in between the current system and communism. Was the US a Maoist commune 50 years ago? Or was it just a market economy with higher income tax rates on the rich?
> If nothing happens in the time frame its your equipment.

The reality of this is going to vary wildly depending on local laws. Also, I’m guessing the employer has more lawyers than the person asking this question, so even being technically right can be costly/annoying.
"The interesting thing about San Francisco now is that people still wear their masks outdoors"

This probably depends a lot on the neighborhood.

I'd be curious to know what percentage of people in poor neighborhoods like the Tenderloin and in homeless encampments (who are some of the most vulnerable) are wearing masks.
Perhaps I should have included /s
Prohibition is not the answer, and while programming comparisons may have their place, comparing thoughts to a program is not accurate, especially when discussing psychoactive compounds. Different drugs do vastly different things in the brain.
You are correct, compression is essentially extracting latent features in the data and discarding the rest.

Auto encoder networks, or networks that have an auto encoder like structure (U-net) employ essentially compression internally in the model to extract latent features.
The original $100B to the NSF mission was dropped to $29B with a bunch of other things tacked on.

I've also been searching for a breakdown of how the $250B is divided up but flipping through the legislative text it looks like another $150B is semi-relevant amendments asking for funding tacked on.
Any plans to add asciidoc support? This projects looks great, but markdown has severe limitations when authoring content. I really wish it would stop being used for anything but plaintext email and READMEs.
Well, first it appears that you’re discussing the underlying asset, and not the gains. The asset is presumably still there at the end of any gains, right?

Additionally you appear to be assuming that all capital investments ‘came from’ a paycheck and not some other source. Probably all of the underlying money in question in the original article was created through some kind of invention or productive work, not through Jeff Bezos investing his paycheck.
Author here: Most notable are WSL-G and Powertoys Run as mentioned in the article.
You are equating morality with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism. With "optimizing the integral of happiness"

You can be a perfectly moral denteologian (that is, a person that believes in moral rules, not in moral objective functions) and be a billionaire.

A second possibility: you can be a utilitarian, and believe that positive sum trades should always be taken (untenable position as this is (1)) and think you are taking one such trade. That is the claim Elon Musk seems to be making: This money today will save human lifes (electric cars reducing climate change) and increase the future number of lifes worth living in the cosmos (spacex)

(1)
On the untenability and self-destructiveness of "always take positive sum choices, even if they harm you"

1) living an American middle class life while children starve might be similarly morally reprehensible

2) Not killing oneself and donating ones organs (saves what? 10 lives?) might be similarly morally reprehensible
But who's going to host that nice unicorn images? and those nice CSS? I agree with putting up a link tho.
The article uses /boot as an example, but that is usually tiny and requires no backups because it is automatically generated.
So these vulns weren't needed any more by some 3 letter agency? Or were they being used by someone a 3 letter agency didn't like? Or were about to be?

Security warfare is fascinating to watch from the mud huts.
Schmidt seems concerned they are in that territory. Also, the document I linked to, presumably written by people with deep expertise on the topic, has several relevant sections. One excerpt:

===

A. GOOGLE HAS MONOPOLY POWER IN RELEVANT MARKETS

A firm is a monopolist if it can profitably raise prices substantially above the competitive level. [M]onopoly power may be inferred from a firm's possesion of a dominant share of a relevant market that is protected by entry barriers. Google has monopoly power in one or more properly defined markets...Staff has identified three relevant antitrust markets...

===

I think it's at least fair to say that some people with expertise in the space feel like Google could have monopoly control over one or more markets.
Heaven forbid someone challenges a persons ideas without directly attacking that person. Making objective observations is not far from threatening everyone in the office by only focusing on and being talented at a job. On this topic, Plato pointed out millennia ago in his Socratic way -- how do we know we understand something if we don't discuss it with someone else?

> Lauren being accused of trans/biphobia (Lauren herself identifies as gay)

In the context of OP's link, it is fair to respond with reference to the attacks on Margret Atwood that accused her of being a 'bad feminist'. Atwood directly addressed the issue of a failed legal system but also asked the still unanswered question, what should replace it, swarms on the internet? [0] Sadly, I probably agree with most of the people frustrated downvoting me. Moreover, I'm adding to the conversation that Lauren is having about due process not in a legal court but rather in the court of public opinion and personal attacks on the internet as it has hurt not only Margret Atwood but Al Franken or closer to home, Douglas Crockford which at the time paradoxically hurt young women with computer science degrees finishing school looking for work more than it hurt Crockford.

This morning I was thinking about making a Reddit / Hacker News clone with one small change to the algorithm. Can't downvote a post or comment without making a response. It used to be fun to have debates on the internet.

I believe that Cal/OSHA will still require masks indoors unless everyone inside is vaccinated.

Edit:
"Indoors, fully vaccinated workers without COVID-19 symptoms do not need to wear face coverings in a room where everyone else is fully vaccinated and not showing symptoms. However, where there is a mixture of vaccinated and unvaccinated persons in a room, all workers will continue to be required to wear a face covering."

Is the Amazon forest a contract job? Would love to read more detail about that arrangement if you can make it work.

Sounds big enough you could also get an ongoing retainer for maintenance and support of their set up after the initial work.
Or they could be allowed to show whatever but are required to allow users to opt-in/out.
Not sure what’s the point you are trying to make here. If you’re being hired (and flown) to extend the software it’s a consulting gig and not a “asking for a donation” situation, and you should quote accordingly. This is one of the traditional ways authors can benefit from OSS with permissive licenses.
That's bizarre because we've known for a long time now that Covid doesn't really spread outside. Doubly bizarre if vaccinated.

I'll bet whoever put that in there feels extra silly about misspelling "meditation", too.
A lot of this bill is R&D and infrastructure which has historically generally paid back a multiple of the original investment.
HELOC definitely isn't a tax dodge because the first $250k-$500k of profit on the sale of your home is not taxable anyway.

But there is something to be said about being able to defer taxes effectively forever. Only the ultra-wealthy are able to do this.

Even if there’s usually nothing the user can do I still like to have all the stack traces, etc visible - because sometimes there’s enough of a hint that you can get a workaround.

Author here. Thanks for the feedback.

The Python bit mostly lives in the "Python - It Takes a Cast of Thousands to Raise a Platform" section, but your point is well taken.

What kind of Windows Python specific content would you like to have seen? I wrote the article from my personal perspective of having found Python development on Windows painful a number of years back and so chose to focus more on the improvements that removed those barriers to productivity.
I'd say that some safe joke on the end of your error message is perfectly fine, as long as you are perfectly clear where the problem is. Just be very sure not to unintentionally blame the user. It is fine even if the user won't get the joke.

Software is a highly personal and creative thing, it should have a personality. The everything gray enterprise spaces have gone too far already. Also, I really miss Linux yelling on panics.

Now, the same joke on a highly visible position or on the beginning of the message is harmful and will impede people from solving the problem.
I follow the MMT thinking on that and I would say we are way past the time where one could reasonably argue that taxation funds the government. At best it serves to reduce the money supply to avoid inflation.

Having a strong middle class is a deep factor for the stability of a country. Inequalities is easily linkable to social unrest.
Fastly is indeed powered by a lot of Varnish magic. My company used(s) them for the CDN for some of our large website frontends, and they have engineers which will help generate the insanely convoluted and large VCL templates which can be setup in your account and will handle all of the magic routing / caching / much more complex things you need for your origin.
I should have "democratic legitimacy". Rich institutions evading taxes to do philanthropy is form of privatization the people didn't necessarily sign up for.
I agree, but it is an extra level above c. Same with using a more advanced type system, more easily encoding problem constraints in that type system.
Ahh yes, take it one step further to brush off the meaning. People persecute others for using some certain drugs but not other certain drugs, I'm simply highlighting that fact. Its particularly amusing when the same "drug warrior" types who would have been the ones breaking open barrels in the 20s are now openly drinking with each other.
Gatsby has a ton of magic... I use it but I rather skip it.
Agreed. This was my biggest reason for leaving Columbus as soon as I could. Most of the folks who "talk tech" have no idea what they're talking about. Just a sea of Professional Services Consultants configuring software for "clients".
Hm, have they though. It seems like they're awfully reliant on TSMC still. And at least some of our planners probably like the tripwire aspect of it because it bolsters Taiwan's geopolitical importance.
I think it could absolutely be done client side.
Agreed, but this is only a problem is you are biting more than you can chew. You can either learn the unfamiliar words to increase the comprehension rate, or find a material that is more suitable to your comprehension level. Comprehensible input is for reinforcing and contextualizing the previously learned words.

It seems to me that quite a few things that we think of as lifestyle, can get written off as business expenses. Not that I know anything about this world.
The new cases going down are at least partially because of continued mitigation work.

I genuinely don't understand the anti-mask mania, I really don't. Mask use is almost free. Virtually no activities are precluded by wearing a mask (even eating, frankly, just lift it up and put it back to chew). Masks should be the first mitigation rule enforced in a respiratory disease environment and the last one relaxed.

Restaurant and event closures, quarantines, travel restrictions, testing requirements, vaccine registries... All of those have significant real costs and should be done only when masks aren't sufficient. And they should all be relaxed first before we give up masks.

But yet, everyone points to masks as somehow the opposite: in the minds of so many people (even seemingly scientifically literate people here) they're the worst thing imaginable, and... why? They're just masks. Wear 'em. It's cheap and easy.
But any idiot can figure out which are the successful products on those search engines. They are literally there trying to be found and broadcast their popularity.

Is this not just an argument over terminology? I think most people realize that grades are just an approximate measure of learning ability. I doubt many parents would prefer that their kid cheated on every test to get straight A's rather B's from honest studying. When most parents tell their kids to get good grades, they mean "study hard and show me you learned", not "go get good grades by any means necessary".

If there was a better measure of learning, executing, communicating, and leading than "grades" at the pre-collegiate level, then I'm sure we would've found it by now and used that instead. For me to be convinced that grades don't matter, I'd have to see proof that there is no correlation between successful people and good grades at a population scale.
I suspect most folks, especially ones which operate at GB/s rates serving traffic would not like to serve up a 100kb base64 encoded image every time an error is thrown.
Good grades are also an indicator of being able to optimize for grades. Being able to optimize a metric is a good thing, but the problems is that typical students spend 20 years learning to optimize that one and only metric. Therefore it's no surprise out-of-school students are often only good at optimizing similar metrics, and suck at the general creative + critical rational thinking that's required in life.

(I think I'm basically paraphrasing another PG article here, but this opinion mostly comes from my own experience working with both people from higher education and early drop-outs)
For many situations it’s the same but there are cases where you have to pay tax on vesting Stock but have no way of selling the stock to pay the tax. It’s rare but it can occur.

It’s supposed to work out in the end as you have a higher basis at that point but you still have a liquidity issue.

My counter-argument to “Laravel is not PHP”
Yes!! It's like SRS but I've noticed it works for much more than flashcards/learning language type learnings - even works for physical activities like you mentioned.

I first noticed this for myself wayy back when I was learning how to ride a bike. I remember falling and falling and then giving up, coming back a few weeks later and nailing it on the first try!

Then again I noticed this as a youth while playing video game campaigns. I remember not being able to defeat Bowser in Luigi's Mansion or something, giving up, then returning in a week to handily defeat him.

I think it's after noticing this in video games that I began to internalize it as a learning strategy.

From then on I never really crammed for tests (which also benefits you on test day as you're not sleep deprived or stressed) or stressed out over pushing past any walls I would hit like you mention. Instead I'd focus on gradual learning with LONG breaks to absorb (not actively, just put your attention to something else and let the information "download asynchronously/on background" so to speak).

More recently I've begun to speak up about this learning style and, as I've begun mentoring junior employees or teaching friends technical skills, I've realized this is a foreign concept to many. So fascinating :)

Solid point here that did not cross my mind at the time.
