Some super good points!

On the last point on the adoption vs. hype question. Indeed there has previously been some strong buzz-word tendencies around headless architecture probably way ahead of the relative use of such solutions. Nevertheless, I also believe that the demand of such solutions from the merchants' side has been steadily increasing recently due to:

* increased ecom competition; making it more important to differentiate through enhanced performance (page-speed + SEO); better UX; advanced analytics and tools to create differentiated customer journeys - all areas that are better catered for with a headless solutions

* more advanced merchant use cases; more B2B companies coming into the ecom market with complex needs or social commerce solutions not covered by existing solutions - these all need a specialised setup which is better build from a headless foundation

* more digital-first/digital-only merchants coming to market with a strong ecom focus and not willing to make setup compromises which you often will have starting with a monolithic structure

That being said, there is still a long way to making headless the preferred way of building commerce - but the tailwind seem to be there!

I was on a HK island when Mankut hit and Windy was incredible. It was much easier to see when what was going to hit than the local news. For the village we were staying, the local news said 12 (noon) was the worst, but it was clear in windy that would be hours later. As this thing did a lot of damage, it was kind of nice to be able to predict it well.
> ...if the validation fails then what? Even though the JSON schema document is human readable, just by looking at the JSON schema document, its not intuitive to visualize where the particular path resides in the actual document.

The JSON Schema specification actually does say that errors should indicate both the location within the data that the error occurred, and the path in the schema itself. So if you are having difficulty deciphering validation errors, that's a failure of your particular implementation failing to follow the spec, not the spec itself.
The Intercept contain new evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the nearby Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment, along with their collaborator, the U.S.-based nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance, have engaged in what the U.S. government defines as “gain-of-function research of concern,” intentionally making viruses more pathogenic or transmissible in order to study them,

And here's the fun part:

Windy does allow switching between different models, which can be helpful to roughly gauge probability. Definitely not perfect though. And some of the models are consistently inaccurate for specific locations in certain conditions in my experience.

So instead of 2 silos, you now have 3. How does that improve anything?

The whole point is to move away from this idea that developers are apple's "ecosystem", like cows in a cow farm. They are not cattle, but independent people with the right to compete in a fair market, much like how apple is competing in a fair market, which is provided by general market state regulations.

I can see it being possible to have had some effect, but I do not see having been a major force. As far as I remember, Republicans did not want to expand access to healthcare at all if you did not already have it due to being very poor or old. Many Democrats wanted to expand taxpayer funded healthcare, but they did not have the numbers to get it passed.

Hence a compromise had to be reached. Getting taxpayer funded healthcare administered by the federal government simply was not an option, and I have not seen evidence that it was because the health insurance business was lobbying every Republican.

What I find more likely is that the more complex you make a system, the more you can engage in price discrimination via price obfuscation. A straight taxpayer funded healthcare option would have immediately impacted the bottom line, since government expenditures visibly go up, and would not allow a way to discriminate to those who receive the healthcare.

The compromise, however, allows for all sorts of games to be played. Such as allocating more and better healthcare to older people in comparison to poorer people. This is accomplished simply by having different reimbursement polices in Medicare (old people, strong voting power) and Medicaid (poor people, weak voting power). Medicaid is also further broken down into being administer 50 different ways by 50 different states.

Then you have employer self insured plans doing things the way they like, and employer subsidize plans doing things the way they like, and church plans that do not even provide healthcare. Basically, a way to expand healthcare in a way that still disproportionally allocates healthcare to richer and/or more politically influential people, but helping the others a little bit.

At least we got the metal levels and healthcare.gov out of ACA so there is some ability to compare insurance products.

And at the end of the day, even if you took away the cut that MCOs take for administering all this healthcare, it would mostly save around 5% to 10% (the profit margin plus savings from redundancies). MCOs currently pay out 75% to 80% of all premiums, and profit 5% or less, which leaves 15% to 20%, but the government would have to duplicate many of the functions of the MCO.

Even in a taxpayer funded scenario, I would bet the doctor is going to have to get approval from the system to provide a treatment above a certain cost.

And it is completely beside the point of the original argument. I was never arguing against your second point.
The vaccines are remarkably effective against death and severe disease on all timescales measured. What appears to decline is sterilizing immunity, meaning after 6-8months you may show symptoms if infected. It is unlikely boosters will be mandated for all.

And to be clear, this vaccine denial is a uniquely American problem. In Denmark over 80% of the eligible population is voluntarily vaccinated. They are now able to do away with virtually all Covid restrictions.

I had to keep checking the date of this article because it reads like old news or, perhaps, like bizarro-world news. In the midst of El Salvador flipping the switch on bitcoin as legal tender, the article gives us this quote:

>“However, if you look at bitcoin off the screen, what you’ll see is declining merchant uptake, zero evidence of blockchain deployment or efficiency, and mostly just a lot of promotional events offering cures to whatever ails you.”

That quote comes from Chris Derose, and while I did enjoy some of his podcast episodes back in the day, he has not really been active in Bitcoin for seemingly years. He did, about a year and a half ago, claim that Bitcoiners at one time had a tradition of celebrating their leaders[1]. The problem is that most bitcoin people I am familiar with hate celebrating leaders, and also he lists a questionable lineage of "leaders": Martti Malmi, Gavin Andresen, and Jeff Garzik. Martti seems largely out of the picture. Gavin and Garzik were both on the wrong side of the block wars. Dereose's perspective resonates with the din of time capsule from 2017.

These proposals really are a disgrace - they weaken data security and privacy in just about every conceivable way, while also giving the security services new mass surveillance powers, and giving the police carte blanche on data collection (including biometrics, like facial recognition).

I'm seriously disturbed that there are people in our government so determined for us to slide into authoritarianism.

The thing that I think you're perhaps missing is that Stripe etc. will be competing with Apple for developers. Letting developers make it harder for consumers to cancel something is a feature, not a bug.

Stripe etc. do not care about competing for consumer favor. Apple does. As far as any large company is on the consumer's side, Apple is, because they need me to buy another iPhone more than they need me to buy a subscription to somebody else's app, even at a 30% vig.
They have a premium subscription with higher-granularity forecasts. [0]

The thing is that interesting problems are never just tech problems. That's why they still exist. There's still a massive, complex human side to those problems.
I think that’s precisely the opposite of the SRE/DevOps model. The developers shouldn’t be managing their own clusters (istio, etc) but they should be able to define and maintain their own applications (not just the container code but also supporting infra).

This has very little to do with USB-C. The same problem can be observed using a classic USB-A to ethernet adapter when connected to a class USB-A hub that has its own power supply.

The problem is the 'feature' of some USB Ethernet controllers where they keep the ethernet link active when the host disconnects. As described in the article, it's the PAUSE frame that some switches forward to all devices on the network causing them to... pause sending data. The link stays up but nothing happens. Perhaps the idea was that you get a fast connection resume, but it's not like ethernet handshaking takes a lot of time so they might as well simply disconnect the ethernet link when the USB ethernet controller notices the host computer has disconnected.
Should we blame Adobe or everyone else that conspired to forcibly evict it from tightly controlled platforms like Safari on iOS? In the end we traded a proprietary platform for a set of “open standards” that are mostly steered by a few monopolist tech giants for their own interests. Personally I miss Flash and the Internet it enabled. There isn’t an equivalent today.

I just recently switch from windows to linux. Was planning to do some 3D printing tomorrow, but saw that Fusion360 had poor Wine support. So I probably need to learn a new software or setup a VM or something.
Indeed, there's lots of great problems to solve in this space.

If anyone is interested I recorded a 90 minute podcast with a lead developer + ops engineer who created a custom electronic medical record system for an Ophthalmology clinic (eye care).

It's at: https://runninginproduction.com/podcast/99-a-custom-electron...

We talked all about using Rails to help consolidate 9 separate 3rd party solutions into a monolithic server rendered Rails app that the clinic uses internally to manage all of their patients. We also chatted about transitioning from Elastic Beanstalk to self managed EC2 instances to using Kubernetes with EKS.

My thinking has always been that yes, targeted surveillance of a target in public is easy, but is it “every trip in a searchable database” easy? Facial recognition is the one here that actually does make it that easy, hence my strong opposition to it!
The forecasts for the US at forecast.weather.gov are really good too. I constantly refer to the hourly precipitation charts to figure out how much rain gear I should hike with, and their temperature predictions are useful too. Plus if they have any warnings or watches it’s helpful. It’s much better than any of the paid services out there.

Tourism is another; foreign cards can often work but it depends on the issuing bank and is subject to their sometimes extortionate foreign transaction fees.
I'm all for moving over to electric vehicles; they're cheaper to maintain and electricity CAN (but not always is) be cleaner than gasoline powered vehicles.

One thing I didn't see addressed is where the additional electric power for charging vehicles will be coming from. Doesn't NYC have trouble running AC in the peak of summer? I'd be curious to see if additional generation sources would need to be build out, or if the distribution network will also need to be vastly updated.
That's not "moving the goal posts".

The ACTUAL complaint is that people demand an AUDIENCE - they want to be able to broadcast their views to the largest number of people possible.

Nobody in the US is being "quashed" - you can run your own website, print your own newsletter, and nobody is going to kick down your door or send you to a re-education camp. Like I said, Nazis run their own websites, and the Taliban is on Twitter. Nobody here is being "silenced" because they can't grab the microphone - nobody's owed a microphone in the first place.

It's not even "relative privation" - nobody has a God given right to...Facebook. People serious about their causes run their own websites - they don't immediately start whinging because they've been booted from Reddit.
This is incorrect.

The balance is stored on the card, in fact the balance being stored on the card is something that people complain about constantly because there is a 24 hour period where the buses need to return to the depot to update and people hate that.

> Do either of you have any responsibility for that outcome?

Sure. But does that mean that as a punishment we should break your legs or take a kidney out of each of you?

If conceiving an unwanted child is harm, then just make mother and father pay a fine and give mother an abortion. Don't punish her with damage to her health.

And if conceiving an unwanted child is not a harm, them do the same just without any punishment.

> I think this is your strongest argument, because I honestly cannot think of a reason the state should be allowed to do that and the only counter argument I can muster is that there's currently no other way to bring a fetus to term, which I feel is a weak justification.

That's my main point, that I think is the strongest argument in existence for any right to choice of abortion, even limited. Since I got this point across I'm perfectly happy to end this thread at that. Thank you.

I’m not sure how much of that economy would matter in a war time scenario. Most of the industrial factories are outside cities. More sprawling cities like Houston would be a lot more independent than an island like Manhattan, which has only a handful of bridges as land entrances and hardly any heavy industry of its own.
This has happened with other ethernet controllers too. It's about the fact that they can send pause frames when the host disconnects while the power is still on.

You can also do this with USB-A, get an USB-A controller that sends pause frames, plug it into a powered USB hub and connect to your computer. Unplug, watch the ethernet link still being online and suddenly the network dies. Mostly happens with Realtek USB Ethernet controllers.

This is a firmware feature so technically you can turn it off.

If you want to try it with PCI or PCIe: get a powered backplane or bifurcation board or thunderbolt-to-pci bridge. Connect/use as normal then disconnect the host while leaving power on. Same problem happens with controllers that send pause frames.

This was my exact question, as much as I hate Microsoft and Windows (15 years of using linux now in my brief 32 years on the planet).... this could be the project that pushes Wayland to fruition finally. It could also significantly improve GUI support in general.

I guess getting the right thing for the wrong reasons is better than not getting them at all? I'm not a very good pragmatist.
Hello themodelplumber,
I'm OP, and the lead (volounteer) developer behind this project. I'm glad you found this project cool, although there are many issues and improvements to do. A given example is the UI that really seems too 90s for 2021 (but it works, and that's the most important thing).

Regarding wkhtmltopdf, yep! It's a nice tool :-) unfortunately we had to apply some hacks for PDF since wkhtmltopdf had a few bugs. We hope to fund some of its development because we need to keep it maintained.

Best!

I use a USB-C/Thunderbolt dock from CalDigit that seemingly has the same problem. Luckily they released a firmware update that supposedly fixes it several months back.

I'm guessing a lot of the manufacturers just ended up using the same chip for their docks/hubs, and some manufacturers just don't care if there was a firmware update from the chip vendor.
Also worth mentioning that Windy provides several different forecast models that you can choose between. There are high resolution models like NAM, and lower resolution models like GFS - toggling between them often gives me a better sense of what to expect.
Yeah, the greatest features of WSL1 was the fact that it wasn't a VM. All apps were running natively and managed by the windows kernel.

I now have to deal with the fact that every so often the WSL 2 VM will simply consume too much memory, which really stinks.

WSL1 felt SO close to being perfect.
I don't recall having to cross compile, since the IDE itself runs on so many platforms. For not too complex projects, or not resource constrained hardware, importing the project and compiling it directly on the target might be the quickest solution.
