I had a lot of trouble reading that code. I kept getting distracted by the comments and missed the code. The code seems pretty self-explanatory. I have some changes I would make, but they really depend on performance vs depth (modulo the burst vs budget bug).

// Hit the bucket bottom, let's auto-replenish and try again.
self.auto_replenish();

Is ugly. Why repeat in English exactly what the code says? I don't even know what language this is, but I know it's replenishing the tokens in the bucket.

All of the comments in reduce are redundant, this is what I would write at the top, so that anyone using the method doesn't have to page through to figure out what it does, it also makes the "smells" more obvious:

// reduce: attempt to consume tokens from bucket,
// starting with one_time_burst, overflowing to
// budget.
// (keep comment only if _expensive_):Performs
// auto-replenish when
// burst is emptied, and budget has insufficient
// tokens.
// Asserts size, but only on replenishment.
// On OverConsumption, entire bucket is emptied.
// On Failure, only one_time_burst is emptied.
// In all cases, tokens is reduced by amount
// fulfilled.

I don't understand why OverConsumption is different to Failure. Both will result in throttling by the caller. The reason for the difference should be documented.

I'm also curious why burst is consumed, then budget. I would expect _budget_ to be consumed first (with refill) with overflow into burst? My expectation is for burst and budget to have different refill schedules in auto_replenish, so using burst first would result in more failures by missing refill opportunities.

I'm also curious why the size assertion is only on requests that result in refills. Is it guaranteed that size = max(one_time_burst + budget)? Why care about the difference? Is hogging the tokens "bad"?

Then, I'd work to remove the need for those comments - particularly the need to explain what happens on error - which should be "nothing", or that the bucket is emptied of whatever is available, not something in between.

Finally I'd remove the mutation of tokens, returning either unfulfilled or fulfilled in the return value.
Rail is "socialist" (not meant in a political way) in that it is generally a government investment for the people. My sense is the US is generally less apt to do this vs e.g. europe where there has been much more investment. I think this has more to do with it than the money not being available because of wars.
The fact that some companies have contracts for reoccurring scheduled delivers of parts means when the SHTF it's going to be really bad for those that don't.

If Apple has a contract to buy 10% of a manufacturers capacitors. But then material shortages drops the manufacturers capacity in half. Apple's share is now 20% and anyone without a standing order is SOL.
Indeed, the goal has to keep the number of moving parts down as much as possible so it can be easy to understand the full cluster and how to troubleshoot it. But of course, it still requires knowledge about the architecture to do so.
What is often forgotten, when mentioning the imports of "dirty" power from abroad, is that Sweden exports way more electricity per year than gets imported (for 2020, 37 TWh exported and 12 TWh imported).

Sweden has had an electricity surplus since 2011, mostly due to wind power.
Technically, there are some ways to demonstrate loss of harm. For example, imagine the father of the potential kid, not agreeing with the abortion, can make a reasonable claim.

The abortion has this ugly side, the father has zero rights. This is why I cannot agree with any side, pro-abortionists are wrong in some points, pro-lifers are wrong in some points and there is no effort to make it right, from any side. Such laws are not making it right, they are just an abuse (or farce) of the judicial system.
Don’t be ridiculous. The whole thing about this potentially causing problems for women going in for an innocent appointment is a smokescreen, just like using edge cases to justify abortion as a whole (the way to test this is to ask whether such a person would agree to restricting abortion to just those cases). The real problem those on the left have with this law is that it is a major advance against abortion, pure and simple. The thought-paralyzing “choice” rhetoric is wearing out and losing currency. Expect more to come. Pro-life sanctuary cities and towns are also making inroads.
> and Lamborghini

btw Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen and all new Lambos (like Huracan and successor to Aventador) are designed by Audi because they've better quality than ones created by Italians (like Aventador, which has a lot of issues), Huracan has almost no issues and you can drive it like a daily car. Volkswagen have their own battery source.
One could consider it a waste of time if it were demonstrated not to be effective improving the outcomes of learing math.

Math teachers need to know
(1) math; and
(2) how to teach it.

The argumet is that this falls into the second category.

I am not claiming to have read any evidence that it is effective, or even that there is any. I do think this shallow dismissal is improper.
Hmm. Interesting.

The US has no intercity trains? Is there a reason? I've always seen the NYC subway in movies and just recklessly assumed all major US cities are connected by rail...which is silly of me in hindsight.

Fredrick Douglass appears to have liked the term "Negro" [1]:

Would you happen to recall where you may've seen Douglass complaining about it?

That is interesting, thanks.

If I'm reading the PDF right, it uses about 12 PJ per tonne of iron produced.

Best current practice with coking coal is about 15 GJ per tonne.[1]

So just a little energy efficiency improvement required.

Cutting edge work in bioelectrical fields (see Michael Levin's lab) looks quite promising, although quite a long way off in terms of human applications. They can do all sorts of seemingly miraculous things in planaria.
Because those are one-off situations.

900,000 people have died from covid virus in the last year and a half, let alone those who get extremely sick and take up hospital beds for weeks. It's a national/global emergency.

Usually a suicidal person has a degree of mental illness as well. So if you argue that those who don't use mask or vaccines are mentally ill, then that would be more of an apt comparison. However, still, there are 900,000 dead from Covid in the USA. The USA went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan (wrongly, I might add - we should have gone to war with Saudi Arabia, as 18 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia uses its great wealth to fund madrases and terrorism all over the world). But that is a digression.

But, to your point, I personally agree that if there were 900,000 people dying of drunk driving per year, then absolutely yes, put them as low down on the treatment scale scale as possible. If anyone comes in for sepsis, car accident (not caused by alcohol), or any other reason, the doctors and nurses should immediately start treating the people who weren't drunk driving, and free up the bed - put the drunk driver on the floor in the hallway, whatever. Get to him or her when you can, as soon as actual not-at-fault victims are taken care of first. Because f-ck drunk drivers. They are JUST as stupid as anti-maskers and anti-vaccine people.

It depends on how one measures poorer. Economists will look at a society with more cars per person as a good sign. I view it as a bad one if the country is already wealthy. The profligacy of Americans is obscene and makes us poorer in spirit, morality, and we pay for it with unhealthy lives. The accompanying lack of walking by Americans alone leads to a less healthy lifestyle. We also lose out on the mental benefits that walking provides. We gain a higher amount of pollution due to emissions from cars and the increased amount of resource extraction that comes with it.

> i'm kind of puzzled by that extension of legal standing to everybody

It designed to maximize the legal threat surface for anyone connected to abortion while immunizing the law against the pre-enforcement review it would have been subject to had it been state-enforced.

It’s a study in how to design a law for maximum chilling effect when you know you have an ideologically supportive Supreme Court but one with enough respect for legal precedent that it is unlikely that they’d simply uphold a 6-week abortion ban.

(Viewed another way, its a study in how to conduct an overt, brazen conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights under color of law and test whether the federal criminal laws against those mean anything.)

You can't drive illegal cars in Italy.

That's mostly because they don't have 1 car, they have five or more so the mileage gets spread out over a much larger number of cars. I just checked the second hand Ferrari's for sale through the Dutch dealer network, a single car with > 70K km on the clock the bulk a small fraction of that.
The article is long on speculation, but really doesn't have even basic data such as inventory or shipped component levels to do the the most basic verification of the theories.

Are we shipping more chips than even, only demand is allocating unevenly?

Are covid + multiple factory incidents at fault?

Even the cost the stay at the cutting edge facts seem a little suspect for at least some chip markets. e.g. embedded chips such as for automotive use are generally are multiple generations behind fab technology - and really don't need to stay on a cutting edge fab to keep profitably producing for many industrial embedded components.
I'm curious, though, can an Uber driver be sued if they happen to take a passenger to a school and the passenger commits a mass shooting?

How would the driver even know the women is pregnant or going to get an abortion? It's not like there are clinics that ONLY do abortions.
We've been unable to get USRPs -- and we need a few dozen for a project. We're starting to look at chinese "clone" versions to see if they're any good. National Instruments has no idea when they can ship again, and no supplier has any:

Interesting timing.

I play with a few friends on a modded 1.7.10 server and we’ve decided to restart with 1.16 due to the lag having become untenable.

We run it on an i7 machine at my house dedicated to it, so it’s not a hardware issue.

Like clockwork the server would freeze for about 5s about every 30s. Using opus our best guess is that it’s unloading chunks and the GC is happening.

We’re going to run 1.16 now which I hope has some performance enhancements and so that we can use more modern Java 16 runtime with its nicer GC systems.

I’m also hoping that Minecraft has at least since moved chunk generation off the main thread since there was no good reason for world exploration slowing down things like it did.

I also built a JavaScript redstone simulator website and I’m curious how you will handle that and other block updates at server boundaries.
It's not "Open Source" except by the literal definition that the source is open to read (but by that definition, the software is free to access, too). It's just freeware / sample code.

The license for this code https://github.com/bitwarden/server/blob/master/LICENSE_BITW... says,

> 2.4 Third Party Software. The Commercial Modules may contain or be provided with third party open source libraries, components, utilities and other open source software (collectively, "Open Source Software").

which implies that the Commercial Modules, themselves, are not Open Source Software.

(Also it clearly doesn't follow the Open Source Definition or any other standard definition of Open Source.)

That's a failing of democracy isn't it. One optimum is to make it so the only people in your jurisdiction are those that all want the same thing. This is an argument for a strong constitution and court system and against direct democracy.
We could have done both. Opponents of rail decry it’s apparent inefficiency and call it wasteful spending. Even assuming it is wasteful spending it’d still have been much better spending $6 trillion on building trains than on the wars. Has so many resources ever been spent for so little gain?

I can foresee CloudFlare offering a single-IPv6 shared endpoint for the sole purpose of making eSNI/ECH remain effective.

> At the same time I have to give up a lot of valuable statistics, troubleshooting data and validation about whether apps do as they claim.

Can't you get this information directly off of your endpoint device, whether or not the traffic is encrypted over the network?

> How would that work? I control my host file. Apps can not mess with it. Not on my computer and not on my phone.

I was thinking more about IoT appliances when I wrote that. For programs on your phone or computer, they can tell their TLS library to use whatever SNI you want, so even if they did hardcode the IP in the client program, SNI could still include the right hostname.
Might be nice to see major airlines, and airbnb (and competitors) offering free travel and accommodation to texan women traveling to other states for abortion-related procedures, and similar legal protection for participating airbnb hosts. Sure, it's partly lame for companies to take this as an opportunity for good PR, but free travel and accommodation might actually help, and it would be nice for republican texas to see how ostracized they are.

It's not just an internet thing; since Sybil, multiple personalities became an identity to aspire to. What the internet adds to it is that all of these individuals network together and start setting up a common lexicon, demands that the condition be treated as what they say it is, and a bunch of rules dividing "authentic" MPD from fakers. At some point an industry arises to prey on them.

It's like fandom, basically, except with medical treatment and the sense of being an oppressed, abused minority.
> Thinking Denmark's success is mostly about vaccinations…

It’s not thinking. This was our intentional strategy, and we were only capable of opening society and removing restrictions because we followed the plans.

We are now gearing up to start round 3 of the vaccinations.

How you can even debate the effectiveness of these vaccines is beyond me. It’s anti-science for no good reason. The vaccines work, every country that used them is getting to a place where the hospitals aren’t bogged down with dying people.

Meanwhile the “akzhually” anti-science people in America are still dying in droves…
It's part of the ring of fire, so I'd expect it to have a lot.
