> on a GNU/Linux system the only correct method of resolving DNS is by using gethostbyname

I don't think that's right.

gethostbyname() doesn't query DNS, it queries names, which includes /etc/hosts, and possibly NIS, active directory, and other possible things. Most applications would never be expecting 100 results from one of these queries and many will not tolerate it well.

Specialised users of gethostbyname() can certainly do better, but what I doubt is the wisdom of such specialisation: It certainly has nothing to do with the application -- it is literally under the control of the network administrator as you are well aware. Specialisation can occur in your application, but it can just as easily specialise another way.

On the other hand, if your application really wants to specially speak to Consul's DNS (as opposed to whatever the network administrator is doing) it can definitely use res_query()

> so it's not exactly hard to support 100 results

Maybe we mean different things by "support": What do you do with them?

> I'm not really sure what you mean by "support gethostbyname robustly"

When most applications connect to a host they get from gethostbyname they often connect to the first, and give up if the connection opens and resets: This is exceptionally common with load balancers and address translation. To those applications, what is the point of giving them multiple results in this situation?

A few applications try to handle the result robustly: connect to a random member of the list, or connect to several in parallel and try the request in parallel. Some applications do really wild stuff here to make a good user-experience.

Most do not.

When someone types `ping google.com` (for example) you only ever get one result. If that name doesn't ping, it doesn't try another.

Most are like that.

Hopefully that makes what I mean by "robustly" clearer.
I suspect that we're starting to see a lot of products being quietly changed in subtle ways now that we're moving into ~6 months of part shortages (for reference, 6 months is about normal for lag from part purchasing to consumer availability, with substantial variation by sector). The good way to do this is be open when user-visible specs have to change, or even to release a new model. What WD is doing is the bad way.

A London taxi driver is not paid more because his work is somehow more valuable than a Beijing taxi driver's, it's just because everything in London is expensive. That's just basic economics. Read an economics book.

How did everything in London get so expensive? Read a history book about the last few centuries.

Well if it's pet theory time, mine is that it's all the sauces, dressings, ketchups, breadcrumbs, and other additions, and indirectly salt and spices. My exhibit #1 are 800-calories salads at Cheesecake Factory. My exhibit #2 is an American dude in Munich telling me the (wonderful, tasty) local pork is "flavorless" and they needs to add some crap to it, or at least give him some ketchup.

You can eat anything - vegetables, meat, fish, potatoes, pasta, bread - and be pretty thin.
If you add 500 calories of dressing to a salad, then no matter what you eat, you are doomed... also, that and spices would bomb out your taste buds, so you wouldn't even be able to enjoy "purer" food anymore.
That blurred line is what turns me off from using Discourse-based forums. It's a neat idea, but it's too, as you say, “stream” styled.

The way I envision it is chat apps are yelling a question in a café, Discourse is walking into said café and setting down a sign then walking out, while classic forums are pinning a note in a library corkboard.
Is there an engineering reason why fuse/breaker infrastructure can't be upgraded to handle solar storm conditions & cut off the large transformers from the grid rather than planning to let them die and replace them from a stockpile after the fact?

Even if it costs more money than "lol stockpile" I feel like it would be still be the better choice once the time/manpower it would take to move and hookup stockpiled transformers is taken into account, and more resilient in case the storm flares up again two days after we've finally got all the transformers back online

It's funny that you mention this because one of my fav fight scenes in any movie is at the beginning of Hero, the 2002 movie with Jet Li. When Jet Li and Donnie Yen's characters face off at the beginning of the movie, they imagine the fight in their heads, with a shift to black&white noting the shift to an imagined fight. Their "simulation" leads to both sides recognizing that Jet Li would win, and Jet Li finishes his opponent off with one swift movement. The scene actually takes place at a chess courtyard, with an old man playing music as they "fight".

I've been using TiddlyWiki for this for a few years. It started off as being my lab notebook and has expanded to be my everything-under-the-sun notebook.

It began simply. It started because I had a bunch of new services/apps being thrown at me on a new project on a bunch of new servers. I recorded the information and linked it all together and expanded it to include meeting notes (on the level of minutes), transcriptions from my physical notebook, research notes ("here are examples of the issue, what we expect, what we think it should be, all the stuff I've tried, etc."), architecture notes.

TiddlyWiki has a journaling feature that I use for the recap-level you talk about. I usually head the journal entry "Minutes of the Day." There will be a bullet point for each project/stream and then sub-bullets for each meeting (with top level decisions/takeaways under that) or thing I did. It's a bit subjective, but I keep these entries high level and will hyperlink to more detailed research notes.

I tried to set up IPv6 a while ago, and it looked simple at first. After configuring the router - just flipping "enable ipv6" in gui - my machine got 10 IPv6 addresses (why this many? I don't know). Cool.

I then set up the firewall to expose one of these addresses and I could ssh to my machine from the outside world. A win!

Unfortunately the win was short lived. Eventually I lost the ability to ssh in. It turned out that the 10 IPv6 addresses were replaced by a different bunch of 10 addresses. So I would have to reconfigure the firewall again. I decided it was too much work for me and disabled IPv6. Maybe some other time.

This is at best debatable, it’s definitely not a forgone conclusion. A war for Taiwan would be a largely naval and aerial confrontation, and the US holds an incredibly significant qualitative lead in those two areas.

There is a lot of fundamental work on random projections [0] from Dasgupta et al., Achlioptas et al., etc.

For example, while random projections produced by sampling normal random variables like in the article are sufficient, there alternative approaches that produce transformations with "better" properties for big data- e.g. transformations with a sparse matrix representations.

For the basic background see the JL Lemma [1]- it turns with high probability, random linear transformations that map from high to low-d Euclidean spaces preserve inner products. In the context of compressive sensing, it's very much related the restricted isometry property [2].

Recently, it's been shown that random projections also appear in nature- the olfactory mechanisms of certain insects behave very similarly to random projections [3].

> So Minecraft, Roblox, Rust, and other mod-friendly and sandboxed games are close to what you are describing.

Yes they are. There are also 'total conversions' in the gaming community where a game had nearly all of its assets replaced to become a new game. The pieces are all out there, but they haven't yet combined into a single thing yet.

We often think of ideas as being these amazing things that spontaneously spring into existence, however they are more often the amalgamation of a bunch of things that have emerged on their own and then contextualized in a way that unifies them into a cohesive whole. My thinking is that distributed game economies are going to be such things.

One of the early things about WoW was the emergence of "gold farming" which exploited legitimate game tools (questing, mailing gold to other players, in game transactions) and demonstrated you could earn real money off players by selling them virtual goods. Personally, I think that was the point when game product managers said, "Hmmm, that is money we could be making" and the "freemium" model was accepted as a legit model.

They still keep 'game flow' and 'game assets' in house however, but the curated app store model has shown business people how you can let third parties make stuff and then give them a platform to sell it and skim the profits. When you combine these two models in games you get this new thing.
Following Baudrillard, "The Afghan War Never Happened". 20 years of war didn't durably change the politics of Afghanistan and it had nothing to do with whether or not we suffered more terrorist attacks.
The stuff falling onto the black hole has an orientation -- it forms an accretion disk at the "equator".

If the black hole is spinning, it has poles. We expect all black holes to be spinning. This is a subtle change in the shadow itself, but...

And if the accretion disk and black hole have misaligned poles, there should be a huge warp in the disk close to the black hole as the black hole frame-drags the accretion disk.
Oh yeah. Properties like reflectivity, translucence, internal reflection, and all that jazz play a big part in the final colors our eyes perceive as well.

I didn't mention them since they have nothing to do with synthetic vs natural dyes though -- they're properties of whatever materials the dyes become part of.

That's actually a significant part of why "accurately" photographing clothing for online shopping is so hard. Getting an accurate hue is usually fairly easy with good lighting and proper white balance, and gray cards let you calibrate brightness. But the reflective properties of fibers mean that e.g. a shirt can look significantly different depending on what angle the light sources are at.
Directed Evolution: Is there Spike escape?
Does `truly be that color ` mean the dye only reflects the wavelengths around the individual frequency?

I can see how that would actually make it look better/different in non full spectrum light!

But I don't get how pre tech dye experts would pick such colors?
The main place I've run into this is a table with sorting, pagination and filtering while lazy loading data and I encounter this need a lot.

It wasn't Clogston's attributes that saved him from getting fired. Hamming squarely credits that to Pierce being smart and not firing him.

The overall context of this paragraph is the importance of courage. Taking your quoted paragraph as 0 here are the leading sentences of paragraph -2 and +1.

> One of the characteristics you see, and many people have it including great scientists, is that usually when they were young they had independent thoughts and had the courage to pursue them.

> One of the characteristics of successful scientists is having courage.

Paragraph -1 is about a person that wasn't obviously impressive.

> ... It was pretty clear to me that this man didn't know much mathematics and he wasn't really articulate.

But he persisted anyway

> He went ahead, with negligible recognition from his own department..

Leading to success

> ..but ultimately he has collected all the prizes in the field.

And outward changes

> Once he got well started, his shyness, his awkwardness, his inarticulateness, fell away and he became much more productive in many other ways.

Then we get to paragraph 0, a similar story

> And I can cite another person in the same way.

Hamming doubted him

> I didn't think he had much...Well I would have fired the fellow

He had one success

> Clogston finally did the Clogston cable.

Leading to more success

> After that there was a steady stream of good ideas.

Because of an increase in his courage and outward changes

> One success brought him confidence and courage.

I'm not saying this is an airtight argument. I just think you've mischaracterized it. Hamming is saying that he doubted these people who went on to be successful. It's implied and sometimes explicitly stated that others doubted them, too. But, they had the courage to continue and this is an important attribute for scientists.

It's not a systemic way of looking at things. This advice is for people who want to work within a system, not change it. I mean, from somewhere else in the page:

I mean--it used to be that you bought the game and you got the stuff and you had to ladder up within the context of a single game in order to get to the good stuff. Why should grinding be rewarding at all, except to put players on an external addiction loop rather than one based on the moment-to-moment fun of the game?

Counter-Strike was never my game, but during the course of a match you could ladder your way up to an AK (absolutely reasonable for most gameplay) within the first couple rounds and it was pretty difficult not to be able to get an AWP at least for a while if you wanted to. I played FireArms Half-Life and The Opera instead, where you built your loadout and everybody had access to everything, save for in FAHL specific skills that laddered up throughout a match themselves.

Why do you think that desirable item takes 3 weeks of grinding to acquire? Pay2win is bad because it incentivizes developers to make their game an annoying slog, then turn around and sell the player a solution to the problem they just created. They’re not helping you by giving you the option to pay to skip part of their game; they’re the ones responsible for the grind you’re trying to avoid.
