> There’s nothing in the article to indicate that this was picked due to the race

That's the worst type of racism, the one so well internalised that you don't realise is there, that's what makes it more dangerous compared to the "redneck"-out-in-your-face variety.

I'm pretty sure that the author of article wasn't aware of his/her implicit euro-centric bias, he/she comes from a culture where things like "fundamental physics" are seen as representative of the group's intellectual nous (where the "group" ~= people raised up/educated in an euro-centric culture with euro-centric values), and hence as representative of the world/humanity as a whole. I take issue with this "the bestest thing made by white men" -> "the bestest thing made by humanity" transition.
> Nothing about IPv6 forbids the existence of IPv4.

Which is now the reality, but at the time IPv6 was created IPv4 was planned to be killed permanently.

Which while impossible in hindsight, the way IPv6 were designed (without even a semblance of a "private" network, even just two IPv6 addresses*) actually raises the question if IPv6 were really that well-designed.

* Okay, link-local addresses do exist, but they're not amenable or even map to how IPv4-style private networks work.
>the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 was 27 times higher among the vaccinated, and the risk of hospitalization eight times higher

This sounds convincing, but then in the next graf:

>For instance, the higher hospitalization rate in the 32,000-person analysis was based on just eight hospitalizations in a vaccinated group and one in a previously infected group. And the 13-fold increased risk of infection in the same analysis was based on just 238 infections in the vaccinated population, less than 1.5% of the more than 16,000 people, versus 19 reinfections among a similar number of people who once had SARS-CoV-2.

I propose that the issue is at the ODBC layer.

We have 2 modes of using that thing.

Tightly bound. Basically you have a bit of query string with question marks in it and you bind out your data points. Either for sending/recieving.

Loosely bound. Here is a totally composed string ready to go just run it. Also a good way to make SQL injection attacks.

Both involve string manipulation.

I think the issue is the ODBC interface does not really map to what SQL is and does. The column binding sort of does. But not table, not where, not having, not sort, etc. So we end up re-inventing something that pastes over that. Building a string to feed into an API that feeds that over the network to a string parser on the other side to decompose it again then runs it and goes back the other way in a similar manner.
> How did they "steal" it? Like they came and stole your gold 200 years ago and now they're rich forever? lol.

Unironically, yes this is how capitalism works. If you have resources, you leverage those resources to produce goods and services that increase your total wealth. If I were to walk into a bank and steal a couple million dollars, maybe I could leverage that money into a successful business. Maybe so successful that it produces inner-generational wealth, so that my great-great-grandchildren are on average more wealthy than they would have been otherwise. I may have "earned" this money with my hypothetical business skills, but it doesn't change the fact that I only had the opportunity because I stole the money.

So yeah, many enterprising individuals took land and resources (and plenty of slave labor) from the Americas/Africa/Asia for hundreds of years, and were able to leverage those resources into even more wealth, thus people in London have more money, thus taxi drivers make more money.
But our advancements in physics are also only possible because of these things.

> What does `query.SELECT("one")` on its own represent?

data['SELECT'].append('one')

I'm intentionally trying to not depart too much from SQL / list-of-strings-for-each-clause model, since I'd have to invent/learn another one.

For a full-blown query builder, I agree Table("table").select("one") is better.
I don't think any of the physics we know is truly fundamental.
It's not generally accurate that the developments which ultimately led to modern physics are exclusively European. Certainly the post-Renaissance work was primarily performed by Europeans, because the Ottomans shut down their observatories [1] and the Qing Dynasty banned "foreign" mathematics [2]. Europe's major competitors had simply forfeited the race. Even so, the Japanese physicist Tomonaga shared the Nobel Prize for the development of QFT [5].

Prior to that, European advancements were heavily influenced by Islamic and Indian mathematics, such as the development of place-value numerals [3] and modern optics [4]

This is super cool and solves a great need.

What happens if the platform you’re trying to get data out of bans you or throttles you because you’re aiding and abetting them losing customers (maybe it wouldn’t happen since they’d probably be violating an SLA with the client). I would presume some companies have specifically not offered users API access to make sure they are locked in.

"If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied." --Richard Feynman
Aside: What I find remarkable is that any talk of renewables ends up in a debate about nuclear. Talking about oil and fossil fuel never makes people say "yeah but what about nuclear?" No, it's only discussion of renewables that makes nuclear supporters come out of the woodwork... very odd behavior for people that claim to be concerned about emissions.

Back your main comment: These are all statistics without any significance for deployment of the technology.

For example, 15x material means.... what exactly? Is 15x more material bad somehow? Sure doesn't seem like it. The amount of material that goes into solar panels is not a fundamental constraint on their use.

When wind power "uses" land it does not require exclusive use of the land. That same land will be used for other purposes without impact. Similarly, the amount of land we need to use solar is vanishingly small.

> Look at France and Germany for a great real world example...

For France, I have looked, never found the cost numbers. I do know the Mesmer plan never reached fruition, and that only about a third of the planned reactors were built. I used to cite CANDU as a potential success too, but then somebody who knew better pointed me to the financial numbers...

Bangladesh and India are building new reactors because of corruption, the same reason that they build completely uneconomical new coal plants. China is building a few nuclear reactors, as part of a "try everything" approach, but they are building only a minuscule amount of nuclear compared to renewables, because nuclear is mostly hype, and renewables mostly deliver. Remember that even a construction power house like China, when building France's EPR design, ended up with a build that took twice as long as expected.
I don't see how lodash could possibly filter a list of 30 by a criteria without visiting each item at least once to take a look at it. the only way to make it more efficient would be to have lodash collect the desired transformations (filter/map) and then run a single loop over the items, mapping only those items that meet the filter criteria. But that is not much more efficient than the [].filter().map() that you could do with native methods.
Which means the /64 is not usable if you want to do subnetting and use SLAAC and the /128 is not useable at all if you have more than one machine.

No such issues with v4.

That was my point about subnetting.
Just a small nit-pick here. If we're talking REST/graphql stateless APIs, sure the scalability gains may be a harder sell vs throwing hardware at the problem, but the value-add depends on what's being built. I built Phoenix first and foremost for real-time, stateful web applications. So anything that requires websockets, frequent updates, PubSub, presence, etc, you will be extremely hard to match what our stack provides out of the box, performance wise, and distribution wise. Not everyone needs these things but increasingly companies do, ie chats, social feeds, dashboards, and now LiveView-like interactive applications all change the equation from "marginal" perf gains.

Note that this is written from the perspective of someone coming to interaction design by way of design and interactive art. Understanding cybernetics can provide some helpful concepts, but it seems odd to treat it as the foundational theory of interaction design. Most practicing interaction designers I know consider the field to have broader origins.

For example, there is no mention of things like Alphonse Chapanis's work with pilots, Doug Englebart's demo, Card/Moran/Newell's model human processor, Moggridge's coining of the term "interaction design" etc.

The question wasn't "why it’s super rare to target Linux for desktop applications". It wasn't a question at all, in fact. It was an assertion that it's hard to package 3rd party applications for Linux, and I am asserting that this claim is incorrect.

As to whether or not the packaging situation explains why it's super rare to target Linux for desktop application, that is indeed a different question, with multiple answers.

Sure, pineapple (and any other fruit) is no-no.

There are two main school of thoughts.

The first one has a limited number of "coded" pizza's:

Margherita

Napoletana

Marinara

Prosciutto

Prosciutto e funghi

Capricciosa

and a few others.

The second one is whatever floats your boat or "everything goes", normally there are some 10-15, maybe 20 "standard" pizza types in the menu of a pizzeria, but you can usually ask (within reason) to add or remove any ingredient, basically anything that is edible (and salted, NOT sweet) can be used.

Pizza with peperoni (peperoni are "sweet peppers") is "border line", though what in the US is called pepperoni pizza (i.e. with salame piccante, no peperoni anywhere):

https://www.innaturale.com/la-pizza-pepperoni-non-e-con-i-pe...

is usually "accepted" (IF the salame piccante is available, which depends on where in Italy you ask for it, you will always find it in the south, not so commonly in center/center-north)).

Also it depends on the integralism of the pizzeria personnel.

As an unrelated note, in any "normal" bar you would be frowned upon if asking for a cappuccino any time past - say - 11 AM.

Of course this does not apply in cities where there are many tourists, where it is not so rare to see people eating a pizza while drinking a cappuccino. (personally the mere thought of this sends shivers down my spine)

Great article, and a line of reasoning that ought to be more widely known. There is a similar tradeoff between latency and utilization in hash tables, for essentially the same reason.

The phenomenon described by the author can lead to interesting social dynamics over time. The initial designer of a system understands the latency/utilization tradeoff and dimensions the system to be underutilized so as to meet latency goals. Then the system is launched and successful, so people start questioning the low utilization, and apply pressure to increase utilization in order to reduce costs. Invariably latency goes up, customers complain. Customers escalate, and projects are started to reduce latency. People screw around at the margin changing number of threads etc, but the fundamental tradeoff cannot be avoided. Nobody is happy in the end. (Been through this cycle a few times already.)

The taxonomy of jobs in china:
Local government positions (<20 hours per week). Relatively low pay. Little job risk . This positions are by design very easy (铁饭碗 or Iron Rice Bowl). There are long vacations and expectations are very low. If you want to spend your time, smoking, having lunch, and going for walks this is the place for you.

Domestic SME’s (20 - 40 hours per week). Moderate job risk - usually from business failure. Think of your small town dentist. If he is on vacation skiing for 2 weeks, no one will complain but business might hurt a bit. Expect Basic, low levels of competence.

Regional and Central Government (40 hours per week). No job risk - substantial risk of being reassigned. One thing the CCP does well is to hire relatively competent people to higher levels positions of governance and MOTIVATE them to accomplish tasks. You will be surprised how many have a reasonable command of English and a daughter with a degree from Oxford.

Division of Non Chinese MNC (40-50 hours per week). Moderate job risk. MNC jobs are considered high status in china because foreign employers are thought to treat employees relatively well. In general they respect local laws and avoid intrusive personal questions. Not considered top of the pecking order.

Large Domestic Exporters (50-60 hours per week). Little job risk - substantial risk of being reassigned. These are the beating heart of Chinese productivity and generally have high quality management. Usually has a local flavor of Taylorism. Loyalty is extremely important. Expect a confusing bureaucracy like any large organization.

Domestic Tech companies (70 hours per week - 996). The pace of product development and iteration within these companies is INSANE. It is like having a three day hackathon only to discover that the team from Missouri solved the problem last night while you were out getting pizza. Code quality, Engineering Practices, IP development does not matter as long as you can crank something out there first. They pay very well by Chinese standards and expect employees to live on the company facilities. Marriage within the company is encouraged as it is thought to foster loyalty. It is common for People burn out very quickly from these jobs.
I actually don't know, but my impression is that they were often at tech companies where the salary trajectory is a lot less steep, and also there were far fewer alternatives with a good work life balance. This always is framed as a pervasive cultural issue in the media I consume. Could be totally wrong though.

For most of history, when a society gets richer, the rich enslave more people and consolidate power

This is not true. The enormous rise in wealth of the world in the 20th/21st centuries has coincided with large increases in personal freedoms as well.

At any rate, I'm not sure a graph from the US starting at 1950 is sufficient for establishing historical trends.

The trend is consistent with other datasets:

> However, it didn’t turn out that way in the real world. Every time my router resets, all of the IPv6 addresses in my home network change.

Fair enough. Though you can use private addresses for private networks:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address

> The reason I don’t use IPv6 and 6:6 NAT is because the IPv6 designers feel this makes networking too complicated, never mind that NAT is a solved problem

The problems with NAT continue to grow. A whole swath of IPv4 addresses (100.64.0.0/10) were reserved to allow telcos to do CG-NAT. Because folks often used the usual private RFC 1918 at home, ISPs couldn't necessarily assign those address to client equipment because there was the potential for the same range (e.g., 10/8) to be on the "inside" of the user's router/CPE as on the "outside".

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6598

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_shared_address_space

Of course now we have double-NATing: once at at the CPE and again at the carrier. Is anyone living with triple-NATing in production?
