I ran a bootstrapped non-IoT home automation startup from 2009 to ~2014. The hardware UI was presented as a web interface over the local network (backend was a mix of Ruby and C, some of which I have open sourced).

Your comment sort of explains why you would use your DB as a queue. It is a big task to migrate to a new system. If you already have Ppostgres or MySQL integrated and deployed. Using it as a queue may be the simplest option.
Yes, usually so, though on Windows there are issues due to Windows TCP stack stupid behaviors around multicast. They're not ZeroTier-specific issues.
I've tried those but I just can't get it to work the way I want for some reason, while never having an issue with background-image.

No, I believe you would have to recompile the app with your cert or use Frida or something to hook the cert check function.
It was inspected and specifically called out by the inspector in the visible areas, but there’s no way to know the full scope of the issues unless the inspector were to rip open walls and stuff.

Either way we got a good deal on the house and I’ve been learning a lot about how to fix it the right way.
Yes and they tend to all crumble when you have complex use cases with numpy, scipy, qt etc They can be a pain to deploy and manage remotely as well.
Why not just this:

So far that has worked fine for me. Curious when base64 is required?
What accessibility issues? that a _blind_ person might not _see_ that it's an image? Who really cares? And don't just go "oh bruce you're a bad guy you don't care about aria for blind people" but actually think about it. Images on the web are of 0 value to blind people. If it's really important to your article, add a subscript to the image. (which a screenreader will gladly read)

There are A LOT of use cases for a queue that aren't particularly computer intensive and you aren't worried about ever needing to scale - especially larger than your Postgres database.

So while this might be good advice if you will need to scale, it's certainly not blanket advice.

In the first case, I would much rather just have Postgres and not a separate queue to manage.
> What they give you is the ability to sign up to three apps at a time, all of which expire after seven days. It's not useful for anything but testing.

And if they decide to they can flip a switch on their server to disable your account and stop “your” apps from launching.
Translating Quake 3 into Rust (2020)
There were some splices from the 60’s that were completely inaccessible in a sealed attic that weren’t in junction boxes.

There were also some hot wires just dangling out of a box in the basement, and a couple fried plugs, so I and I assume the inspector knew that there were bound to be more fun surprises.

It’s not like the inspector is going to say “well we better open up this wall just in case”

Ended up rewiring one of the bathrooms after what started out as “change a couple of switches and add a GFCI”
Another issue with the article is use of the term “accurate feedback”. It’s conflating two ideas, accuracy of data collection and statistical variation of a system.

Back to the bowling example (sorry for harping on it), unless you frequently hallucinate and see the pins fall when they did not, the results in practice are very very accurate. It’s just that they describe a complex system with an initially unknown amount of variation. It’s only through having precise measurements that you can even quantify the variation.

> "...fairly small set of fundamental ideas that account for the way things are here..."

My comment referring to System I & System II is not meant to suggest a "small set" of ideas. Rather, I'm thinking about reactive/unconscious thinking versus deliberate rational thinking as multiplying the complexity of our thoughts.

Philosophy has for millennia grappling with the additional complexities of truth and falsity when it comes to logic and reason. Add deception or falsehoods for intentional falsity. These are multipliers of complexity by way of permutations of the state of affairs.

Add system 1 and system 2, this complexity is further multiplied by self-deception or irrational thought.

As the comment I quoted so wonderfully described "ultra-flexible/fundamentally ambiguous language" puts into question the whole endeavor of making true statements at all.

And if that doesn't blow your mind, then realizing how pitiful the human mind performs on multi-dimensional problems compared to computers will put the fear of the event horizon back into your weekend. (>_<)

No one likes paying taxes. But the status quo you are advocating for is a major loophole. It allows for significant amounts of capital gains to never be taxed at all. That inappropriately favors capital over labor.

That's a nice sound bite that doesn't actually respond to what I said. It's the sort of thing a politician would say, and as with most such things it avoids difficult topics in favor of easy simplifications.

Because by implication, you're saying there should be no laws, since every law is a condition on freedom in some way. Is that your position on things?

As for dictators and the like: they adopt the words of civil society and spin it into propaganda. All you've pointed out it that bad people do bad things and lie about them, claiming they were good. You haven't addressed the problem of making sure my freedom isn't taken away when someone else acts on what they believe is their freedom.

So, do you think there should be any laws at all? If not, I'm not sure we can have a reasonable conversation here. If so, I'm happy to discuss further, as long as it's not in sound bites and cliches.
Interesting! What kind of scale did you run it at?

Also keen to know if you saw any disadvantages with this approach?

A basic blog can obviously be built using a simple DB-backed server side framework. The original blogs were basically designed almost entirely around the capabilities that were easy to accomplish with that architecture - you can practically read off the underlying relational table structure of Dave Winer’s blog from the RSS spec. As you render each page serverside you just SELECT in the blog content, the index links, the tag cloud, etc. But it has to be said (speaking as someone who has implemented this a few times) comments were always the tricky bit.

You’re right that SSR/pregeneration approaches are a reasonable modern approach to building a simple blog, but still comments are an annoying obstacle to a simple pregenerated page model.

And I’ve got to say: it for sure gets a lot more complex when what you’re building isn’t a blog but a blogging platform.

I’m absolutely not arguing that such a system shouldn’t serve up relatively simple prerendered HTML for article pages by the way - I mean, basic SEO kind of pushes you to do that - but that the rest of the stuff on that blog - the tag clouds and the comments and so on - are actually easier to add through clientside JavaScript integration of simple backend services, than through adding complexity to your serverside HTML generation model.
> I like to write code that works [in every case]

But your code does not work in every case:

Image a user that would like to access your website using an even older setup than simply no JS, let's say he's using lynx on a 50 by 20 character ssh session on an old Android phone with a broken keyboard.

Your website will look like shit, it will be absolutely unusable and the user will have a mental breakdown.

If you counter that your website is only one line of text that says "Hello world!", and that would work on my imaginary lynx setup, let me counter as well:

I am now a user that has no computer at all. I would like to access your content by calling. Where is the phone number I can call to talk to a human in my language, at 03:30am in the morning?

Remember, not everyone is using the latest technology! A company should be accessible even if the user doesn't have WASM/React/JS/CSS/HTML/HTTP/TCP/a computer/a Chomsky universal-grammar based spoken language/...

I think we all have edge cases we simply cannot serve. I agree that there might be different thresholds, though. :-)

The difference is that examples in Codepen are easily reproducable in another environment.

d3, on the other hand, has converted most of their examples to Observable, which requires extensive research to convert back to JS (in the best case) and in the worst case requires reverse engineering the runtime.

I'm not the only one with this opinion, there are plenty of others who have struggled through similar issues and discussed it.

"The process of converting an Observable notebook to standalone html and/or js is clearly not as simple and copying and pasting. The use of Observable notebooks for all D3 examples has made the introduction to the library much more challenging for this reason." [0]

I made a webapp (sheetUI) that turns a simple google sheet into a beautiful webpage. I used it when I was apartment hunting, amongst other things. I tabulated the data of each apartment I found (fb marketplace, craigslist, etc), along with images, into a google sheet. Then I used my tool to display them as a grid of cards. There were auto generated filters on the top of the webpage that I could use to filter the cards by whatever criteria I choose.

I made it public last year and it's quite enlightening to see what people have been using it for. E-commerce, contacts, work check-ins, image gallery, inventory, workshop listing, etc.

It's not the best tool, and I don't make a lot of money from it, but I'm happy I'm providing value to others. I still keep the free version around since plenty of people are relying on it.

I'm working on a new version catering to business's internal use cases now, with read/edit/permission control capabilities. Hoping to get it out soon :)

I haven't really done anything more adventurous than a short, touristy stay in an arctic resort in Lapland with a couple of friends. But even that time was enchanted. I'm from the Northeast. From the snow to the flora and fauna and sun, a lot of things felt at once familiar as well as surreal and almost alien.

We get longer summer days and winter nights in the Northeast. But it's much more extreme there, with the polar day and polar night. Lots of berries, reindeer and fish. We tried to catch the Northern Lights but didn't manage to.

I'd love to spend some more time up there, and maybe see some things off the beaten track, though.
When I read stories like this I always wonder how much of this is groupthink. Speaking as someone who has played a ton of different, complex games over many years, groupthink can be really pervasive and often explains why someone swears a particular strategy is dominant.

I don’t play Risk so can’t speak this specific example. I suspect if you took your strategy elsewhere your get far more boxed results however.

I wrote a dictionary generator so I can get WiFi from business: back then I was too poor to pay for it.

I know now that there are many options out there, but I think my tool addressed my needs more efficiently.

I've noted that business in the town I lived back then used some sort of telephone number + name of their business combination for their wifi password.

The script actually gave me a 60% rate of success. Went through 4 years of college without contracting a ISP.
Not yet but I do dread this. China is a lot further along that path.
Might just be a friend group thing but I will also add on that very few games of risk I ever played didn’t involve some level of ‘meta’ strategy like a husband/wife not attacking each other or that guy that doesn’t like you refusing an obviously mutually beneficial alliance.

What is the difference between a very cooperative colony of independent single cell organisms and a multi-cellular organism?

On practice the only difference is on the level of collaboration. You get a similar phenomenon here, it's different because those plants collaborate less than the leaves of a single plant, so we give them a different name. From that point of view, this finding is quite boring. What makes it interesting is that it's an independent evolution of collaborative behavior.
I wrote a tool to copy stdout from a remote machine to my windows clipboard. I alias ssh to ssh with port forwarding to a static port that isnt used anywhere, run a flask site locally on my laptop that has an endpoint for accepting base 64 encoded posts for copied data and an endpoint that has some bash function definitions for doing a curl post of base64 encoded piped data to the port that was forwarded over ssh. I have a terminal hot key which does a curl get of the bash functions and imports them.

so this on a remote machine:

some_remote_machine> echo hello | cb

Will base64 encode hello, post that to localhost:1234 on the remote machine which gets forwarded to my laptop flask site, it base64 decodes the text, then since im in wsl, the flask site runs powershell to write it to my windows clipboard.

It's good for note taking and sharing output in slack easily. I also have an alias for cbc or clipboard with command which prefixes the text with the command used to generate the output.
Oh i see
So its very similar to using i3
Thank you for sharing your experience
I guess that parent poster was thinking about probability and mixed it up with statistics.

If yes, then I agree with him. People should have more probability lessons at school than trigonometry or calculus.
Also in many processes, there are things going on at various time scales. Tight feed back loops are good for higher frequency phenomena. Ignoring the slower phenomena can make you like the kids who see the water retreating, build a sandbox, and then come back in the evening to see it all underwater. So many places have all the log data, terabytes, maybe petabytes, but just for three months. What happened last year? When can we expect traffic to break this scaling assumption and need a refactor, this year or next? Impossible to know, unless you make your own copies of summary data and stay around for a few years.

I was going for some Leetcode based exercises

Please, no. These have been widely panned for being (1) not reflective of the kinds of skills / decision making need in real, actual, day-to-day work; (2) not even compatible with the everday workflow real, actual programmers use; and (3) in general, are hyper-optimized not to test suitability for actual, real engineering work but for one's ability to... "prepare" (that is, cram for) Leetcode sessions.

BTW as to (2): We're used to coding in the shell and on the file system, right? And with vi or emacs, right? Not in webforms with doc-like editing interfaces - not in a million years, please. Nevermind the (frequently) artificially tricky the problems, and artificially tight (45 minutes or GTFO) the deadlines are.

In fairness, maybe things have changed a bit since I began politely declining to do Leetcode-ish filtering sessions - like maybe they have a better in-page editor by now - but the downsides and limitations to this approach are quite fundamental, and I doubt much has changed to change this overall state of affairs.

I’m a big proponent of containers, but in fairness to TFA, I don’t know how to configure namespaces, second, or cgroups and I don’t know what settings my orchestrator uses by default. If containers can be secure but we don’t enable those security features properly, then it’s a bit of a moot point. That said, I think (but am not sure) most of us understand enough not to trust containers for isolation between untrusted processes, so I don’t regard containers as lightweight VMs, but rather collocated processes with their own namespaces. When I run untrusted code, like jupyterhub, I make sure those untrusted containers get scheduled onto their own dedicated mode pool with single tenancy (at which point the container is more of a tooling/orchestration convenience than a resource optimization tool).
By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
