Skaffold: Easy and Repeatable Kubernetes Development
I think the core issue here is that the university have sold 2 different people different things:

* The professor (who has my sympathy) has been sold on being a professor with academic freedom and the opportunity to have free and open debate.

* At least some students have been promised "student experience" (a nice euphemism for a safe space and an easy degree the cynic in me suspects...).

The wrong here is the university lying to (at least) one party. If you hire a Michelin star chef for your McDonalds franchise, he will complain about flipping burgers and customers might not want frogs-legs instead of chicken wings. Neither of them are wrong, it's management who have failed to "square the circle" IMHO.

Right, but the composition is likely very very different.
The topic you need to research is, among others, "PCI compliance".

The bottom line is that you do not want to handle payment cards' details.

With modern solutions like for instance Stripe's this is not a problem (apart from somewhat locking you in): they transparently handle cards' details and can store them so you can access that card later for further payments if needed. Customers need not be aware of anything or that you're using Stripe at all.

> this being one more standard to replace all the other standards a la the XKCD joke

Even if JPEG XL does not replace all other image formats, note that as the computing industry is growing, so is the number of use cases for image formats. There is no law that there has to be one format to rule them all, how inconvenient that may be.

E.g. some users might want to edit and encode extremely high resolution images on their embedded smartphones with weak processing power. They might not care if their images are 5% larger, they don't want their friends to wait for the encode to finish so that they can make another picture.

Other users might only encode an image once and then distribute it to millions of users. 5% improvement in bandwidth cost might be quite significant here. On the other hand, they have lots of and computational resources to throw at making the optimal image.

Can both use cases be served by the same format? Maybe. Maybe JPEG XL is that format. But these use cases came up as computers became embedded so you could carry them around, and as websites sprung up with billions of visitors. This is a development of the last 20 years.

Often the response to such developments is an increase in complexity: more formats, more tools, etc.
No offense but those are pretty weak arguments. I'm not looking to hurt specific individuals, but rather society as a whole; large social phenomena aren't the fault of any individual (although granted some specific individuals may carry a lot of fault, given their positions, Trump and other far-right high-profile individuals such as Orban or Bolsonaro being a prime example of that but that's not what we're discussing here).

Two outcomes: either my not taking the vaccine has no impact on society as a whole so it doesn't matter, or it helps having a negative impact in society as a whole and therefore it also directly or indirectly hurts the groups who upset me (be it via further restrictions, health or economic downturns), in which case I feel vindicated. Most importantly: in both cases my actions spite those who would pressure me into doing it which by itself is a good enough outcome for me.

That last argument goes both ways: people who feel it's acceptable to bully me out of my autonomy should take personal responsibility for the choice they are making, so dismissing that argument is effortless on my part.

edit: I should point out that for very personal reasons I won't be getting in to, autonomy over the self is something that I hold very close to my heart.

This comment[1] from ianlancetaylor on Github appears to provide reasons as to why the standard Go implementation of regex is less than optimal.

As you say, in a language like Python, the regexp engine is implemented in C. So you are comparing a somewhat tuned Go implementation with a highly tuned C implementation. You also need to consider the characteristics of the engine. Go has chosen to follow the re2 path (not surprising, since Russ Cox is a major author of both Go and re2). re2 has much better performance characteristics than some other regexp engines, in that it never has an exponential slowdown, but that comes at a cost for other regexps. Even then, the C++ re2 implementation has many optimizations that are not in the Go implementation.

My favorite amateur mushroom hunter is Alan Rockefeller, who I found out about through his fantastic talks on identifying psilocybin mushrooms: [1] [2]

He talks about how he got in to mushroom hunting at about 18 minutes in to [1]:

"About 2001 I went hiking, and I've always been in to nature and camping but around 2001 I was hiking and I kind of felt like it was sort of a waste of time to hike. Sure, it was exercise and it was pretty out there, but I was kind of like "What am I doing with my life?", but I saw all these mushrooms, and I'm like "Huh.. these are pretty interesting," and so I looked at them a little closer and thought "there must be people out there that know what these are, that know which ones are common, which ones are hallucinogenic, poisonous," and so I just started paying a little bit of attention to them and taking pictures of them and that gave me a reason to go out in to the woods, so I didn't feel nearly so guilty for wasting all my time in the forest anymore, since I had a mission.

"These days my mission is usually to take the best pictures I possibly can of every species of mushroom I come across and then I publish all the pictures online with a free license so anybody can use them forever. I do DNA sequencing of all of them and get them all in to genbank. But I think the path was just being really curious about them and just being really curious about nature and doing that. I never really expected to get well known for psilocybin mushrooms. That was kind of random. I just got really in to them at the same time they got kind of popular.

"I think psilocybin mushrooms are really useful for getting people interested in nature. So many people out there looking for psilocybin mushrooms. This gets them outside, gets them looking closely at the mushrooms. There are so many people looking for psilocybin mushrooms to get high and now they're super in to plants and mushrooms and all of nature. It's kind of like a gateway in to nature."

We should be concerned about both.

That said, whether to spend your energy on global poverty or abolishing factory farming really comes down to how you highly you rank animal suffering.

Is a thousand chickens tortured from birth to slaughter, worse than someone dying from malaria? What about ten thousand?

It's not at all obvious to me how animal sentience compares to human sentience, but it's clear to me that we should at least give it some consideration.

Even when I give animals only a fraction of the concern I have for humans, it's clear to me that factory farming is an incredible source of unnecessary suffering.

I hope we can learn to be considerate of not only humans different from us but other species too.
Generative art is interesting in itself, so plenty of nice images can be encoded. I've checked JPEG-XL Discord channel and there's a small group of people creating these images for fun.
Yeah, all of those tools have APIs…
Typical Apple products and services are fewer, more complex, and with enormously longer development time than Typical Amazon "products", so they could find processes that target great quality at high cost (e.g. "ask Steve Jobs") more useful than processes that target good enough quality at minimum cost.

> I expect several organizations (universities, other Linux distribution vendors, governments, etc) to silently rebuild every single Debian package, and compare the result with the Debian binaries

This has been happening for many years. A lot of large companies that care about security and maintainability sign big contracts to with tech companies that often include indemnification.
JPEG XL has a non backwards compatible mode too for highest quality/compression and the bitstream can be improved with better encoders in the future.

For those looking for backup servers on Linux, using the backup tool built into many Linux distros (Deja-Dup or Duplicity) you can make file level backups without setting up backup software at the server side by using SFTP. Backups are encrypted and through a few (admittedly hidden) settings you can enforce a period after which full backups are made rather than diffed backups.

That's the system in currently using, at least. I'd be happy to read about other open source solutions if anyone has a better solution. My backup system is geared towards a service that exposes nothing more than SFTP or WebDav as a backup location because of a cheap cloud storage subscription I've managed to get.
Imagine I use a timing attack to visually encode some information about you in an image and trick you into sending a screenshot somewhere.

Very quick take, but systems are very interconnected these days, so sandboxes tend to leak in very unintentional ways.
I suppose it depends on what you're used to? From my own (and other people's) experiences, you can have a project with a few hundred site visits - get towards the top of HN, and you can have 100k visits over the next few days.

A good enough project on HN tends to get coverage elsewhere, a lot of Tweets etc etc.

There are two books that taught me how systems work.

- One system in isolation - Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces. Covers persistence, virtualisation and concurrency. This book is available for free at https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

- Multiple systems, and how data flows through them - Designing Data Intensive Applications. Covers the low level details of how databases persist data to disk and how multiple nodes coordinate with each other. If you’ve heard of the “CAP theorem”, this is the source to learn it from. Worth every penny.

> In Australia we certainly don't have those people

Not the case in Victoria. Pretty normal to see a couple of workers standing near the site entrance making sure pedestrians don't get run over by a truck. Or standing in front of a closed footpath, directing pedestrians to cross the road.

There's pretty strict rules around keeping the public out of construction sites and excavations. Putting a couple of cones around a hole is definitely not all that's required.

Where are you from? I thought fuel stations in most Western countries were fully automated already. In Sweden there are loads with no people at all but even the ones with a store you just pay at the pump. You only go inside if you need to buy something else.

Very strange example to use and kind of invalidates your whole point.

A fair and accurate statement made with the intent to influence does, in fact, meet the dictionary definition of propaganda. This is not, however, the way that the word is typically used.
Works extremely well indeed. Like git was basically made to be used like this. However, only because of that 'squash and merge' aka 'sculpt a nice history with the emphasis on story' bit. Not doing that is in my opinion and experience completely useless for code. As far as I'm concerned there's hardly any difference between one commit with message 'fixes' introducing a 1k loc diff code dump or 1000 commits introducing a one-line diff: a proper git history is a joy to work with when figuring out bugs and why/how things were done the way they are. Anything else is just mediocre at best, usually just worthless. Which I learned the hard way obviously.
> Small-scale experiments have been quite successful though.

And are absolutely useless to study the very important effects that these kinds of systems have on a nation's economy.
Yes, that is true, but it isn't particularly related to JPEG XL specifically.
You can buy car rental excess insurance from another insurer, much more reasonably priced than the rental companies' extra insurance.

My perception is that the rental companies are incredibly vigilant about minuscule scratches - my concern would be being charged €hundreds for a tiny scratch caused by a chipped-up stone. I wonder if the companies providing excess insurance are able to negotiate more robustly with the rental companies than the typical private individual?
Is there a standardised way to do that on old Android devices? I've got a tablet that I'd like to run continuously at some point as a touch interface to my house but I'm wary if hooking up the battery 24/7 after seeing what happened to other people's devices when they did that.

Only if the country still has the ability to change and the economy isn't permanently damaged.
I am not OP and we are actually conversing further down the thread but I might be able to answer?

The current UK Gov (right wing) has made a lot of noise about "freedom of speech" in regards to cases like this. There have been speeches, a Czar has been appointed, lots of comments critical of "woke culture" are being made etc.

I actually agree and really strongly support free speech.

However cynics among us (myself included) have noticed how this only seems to be being applied when politically convenient (to avoid discussing other issues or to attack the left). When real issues around free speech actually come up, ones that the government could rapidly act on, they suddenly go silent.

One example of this is that a teacher showed some of the Charlie Hebdo Mohammed cartoons in a class recently [0].

He was suspended from his job and has received death threats. But for some reason no one can articulate, those deep free speech commitments don't extend to him. It would be the work of a moment to re-instate him and provide him with some security. But this hasn't happened.

It's almost as if "free speech" is being used as a stick to bash leftie students and the Spectator etc don't actually give a shit about it...

Hi there! Author of the post you mentioned. I have also been thinking a lot about this, and recently came up with the following tooling / workflow for the main website:

- Read Julian Shapiros's Landing Page guide. It contains a great structure and process for coming up with a landing page: https://www.julian.com/guide/growth/landing-pages

- Create a very basic mock-up of your landing page using Excalidraw: https://excalidraw.com/

- Once you have the right structure and copy, it is time to go into design and development. First, I would recommend you purchase SystemFlow: https://www.systemflow.co/. The guys behind it created a wonderful process for creating websites quickly using Figma + Webflow.

- Before diving into the design though, I would recommend you choose a good color palette for your website using https://coolors.co/

- You should also decide the kind of images you want for your page. If you want something quick, you can use: https://www.whoooa.rocks/ Otherwise, you can hire an illustrator from Fiverr or Upwork to make them for you based on your copy. If you would rather create simple product images, you can use Pixelmator Pro.

- Finally, choose the fonts for your website. I recommend you just go into another landing page you like and copy those fonts or similar if they are available on Google Fonts.

- Now is time to dive into Figma, using SystemFlow, to create your design. Make sure to watch the SystemFlow University's videos first. I also recommend the following plugins for Figma.

For icons, Hero Icons: https://heroicons.com/.

For background patterns (they really add a nice touch to designs): https://www.heropatterns.com/

- Once you have your design ready to go, publish it into Webflow (again, using SystemFlow).

This advice is mostly for your main website / landing pages. For the marketing micro-sites and blogs, I think https://www.audienceful.com/ (mentioned in the sales stack thread I posted) has a lot of potential, I requested access and hoping to hear back soon.

EDIT: You mention you are non-technical. I would still take the time to learn HTML + CSS properly to really get the most out of Webflow.
Good advice, but I feel it's like saying "The way to free the slaves is to free the slaves".

Everyone knows it's true, most slaves and non-slaveholders agree both morally and pragmatically it's the way forward.

And yet strangely, the people who became rich from owning slaves, when offered the opportunity to free those slaves, instead started an expensive and catastrophic war to try to prolong the practice.

What would you do if your absolute and relative wealth relied on a bunch of other people being poor?

Also, please share if you have data that show Covid incidence dropping in places where vaccine rollouts have started, and can show clearcut temporal association.

This may be my memory playing tricks on me (after all, time perception changes as you get older), but if I think back to the speed of adoption of just about any image format that came after JPEG and GIF, then JPEG XL seems to be moving really fast by comparison.

EDIT: granted, computers being stuck on old versions of Internet Explorer back in the day and therefore holding back (for example) PNG adoption is a very different situation than that of the modern web, which makes it a bit of an unfair comparison.

I'm not a fan of UBI. I agree with you that the small scale experiments are worthless.

I've looked to history for examples of actual real world attempts to guarantee some minimum quality of life for all citizens of a particular group. They consistently do well for some self selected and committed initial group and then go badly when the doors get flung open to include everyone.

One result I recall hearing about is instituting policies like "You don't work, you don't eat" in order to prevent freeloaders from utterly killing the whole system and taking everyone down with them.
