> ...to force work into a structured process because you might as well minimize time and communication...

This works for me, but for different reasons: my "structured process" for email support starts with an autoreply that mentions that we're a two-person company doing our best, and we'll get back to you as soon as we actually can (including out of hours if we get the chance), etc. Usually, folks get their emotional baggage and "ugh I have to email support" frustration out of their system and, by the time I respond with a follow-up they've already moved on to the "oh, this fellow human is going to help me out" phase of things.

Nah, the naming of the planet came much later, I don't think the planet itself was ever worshipped.

And the Proto-Indo-Europeans are not the Aryans - the Aryans were a much later daughter culture in Western Afghanistan, Northern Iran and India, and probably the folks that had the beliefs outlined in the first pages of the Rig Veda.

The steppe people I am referring to are the people of the Yamnaya culture and related peoples within their horizon. The Mongols and Turks were relative late comers to the western steppes.

There is no context switch, like most system calls, sendfile runs in the thread context of the thread making the syscall.

FreeBSD has "async sendfile", which means that it does not block waiting for the data to be read from disk. Rather, the pages that have been allocated to hold the data are staged in the socket buffer and attached to mbufs marked "not ready". When the data arrives, the disk interrupt thread makes a callback which marks the mbufs "ready", and pokes the TCP stack to tell them they are ready to send.

This avoids the need to have many threads parked, waiting on disk io to complete.

One thing I think people overlook is that there's a hidden cost to buying at low interest rates: if rates go up that will eat into your resale value, and it's less likely you can refinance at a lower rate in the future.

If you bought at a high interest rate and then rates drop you really make out, and that's less likely to happen to people buying now.

I don't understand why you're bringing this up when the TFA is about armed robbery. I do understand why someone would bring up SF in the first place, because SF decided to stop prosecuting "petty larceny". TFA is about what you'd also call "petty larceny", and the city seems to not care about it.
The size of that flash was about as large as the jovian moon.

> It's almost like there's something cultural happening in America that's making everyone assume the worst when interacting with people they don't know...

I think part of the direct issue with support is that people are very used to dealing with extremely poor support from a wide range of large companies and are primed for having their issues dismissed or being forced through largely irrelevant support scripts.

That's why as soon as they realize that isn't what is happening, their attitude suddenly gets a lot better.
Yes, but that's a deliberate security–convenience trade off then.

One solution is to use proxy servers or per-app VPNs (without local network access) instead of a system-wide VPN, and effectively partition applications into trusted and untrusted ones.
I remember using CS in 2008, and there was also this ensuing feeling of magic. Like, things always worked out in incredible, and unexpected ways. It never occurred to me at the time that none of that was owed or guaranteed, and it could just as easily come to an end. That magic after all was the byproduct of groups of cooperative, uncoordinated actors, all participating in experiment of radical acts of selflessness.

It's a shame that as a business CS didn't work out, but it also urges me to think of what things exist now that are equally magic that I don't appreciate. Craigslist?

Doesn't that sound insane from a mile away? By the time you are done making exceptions, you'll have infinity carve outs. This is not a solution so much as a way to squish the problem into a different, weirder shape.

1. Everyone is forced to sell their lakehouses, cabins, ADUs? Detached mother-in-laws? (wtf is "Exactly one house?")

No one is ever able to rent a single family home ever again? Right now 14.5 million households / 44 million residents rent single-family homes in the United States. They're... out of luck? On the street? Gotta save for a down payment? If those houses are force-sold, don't you think people-other-than-the-current-inhabitants will come in and buy them?

Actually, can anyone ever rent ever again? Or is it a buy-vs-homeless dichotomy here? Or do towns have to become miniature companies and play landlord? Or states?

2. Timber companies are forced to give up their land, bankrupting all of them and driving the cost of wood sky high. Mobile home land must now be sold, except no one can buy it. Farms except for sole proprietors are forced to give up their land (sorry partnerships, amish, people with discontiguous lots, and everyone who wants to eat this year, you're out of luck)

IMO you should focus on laws that let people build more (eg, ADUs, duplexing) rather than getting out the stick and hoping there won't be huge side effects.
It will go down to 0% in Germany in several months. Germany is shutting down its last six nuclear power plants and no new ones can be built. Italy, Switzerland and Belgium also want to shut down their nuclear power plants. Shameful, unscientific public opinion in Western Europe despite more people realizing the danger of global warming.
True, but any handwritten note from someone you don't know is already suspect or garbage, and in no likely future will every ad be handwritten. I wouldn't call a 2 second glance as I filter mail to throw in the recycle bin "costly" per-se, and I don't know how the mail sorters at the post do their job. I can't speak on laws as I am unaware of them.

If you are using a direct mail campaign from a company they probably would know which addresses not to bother with anyway due to the no junk mail stickers (although that may be giving them too much credit) and would operate within the law.

Anyway, I don't want to try and defend "spam", the more you get, the more it sucks for everyone, but at the same time, I don't feel bad about what this guy did and as an entrepreneur trying to make a living. Maybe other people get way more junk mail than I do, but at 0-3 items a day, more on the 0 side, it just seems trivial and a non-issue and it won't scale into as big a problem as digital spam due to the costs. It's more like a clever hack, because who actually uses mail, that's so analog and back2basics.

I've got an axidraw and a laser cutter and can program and I'll be damned if I try to go through that much effort to make what he made, it just seems like a nightmare to me, but he was creative and looked like he had fun and did some really hacky stuff, so props to him.
He's all right.
No, there were plenty of cases in the control group, it's just that there were zero cases in the experimental group. So they know it's very effective, but they were unable to measure the breakthrough infection rate.
This is an intriguing idea. I have heard before the recommendation to add a support phone number to your website, but always wrote it off as either out of date or something that only applies to large companies. The feedback from talking to customers is really valuable to solo developers.

Part of why I run my own business is for the flexibility, and guaranteed 9-5 phone support would really threaten that. I wonder if there is a way to offer this on a best-effort basis without coming across as flaky? Perhaps putting the number only on the support page (like OP), but also only having the number there when you're online?

Those are both additional proof cases, but I wasn't talking about either Shazam (which does a lot of processing remotely) or "wake words" although I'm familiar with the accuracy and compute power requirements for those. Multi-keyword detection for advertising with >50% FAR/FRR is much easier than either of them. A conversation is likely to hear the word (or related ones) mentioned multiple time by multiple parties and the matcher can be tuned to the individual locally.

It bothers me because this behavior is an outcropping of consumerism. Author came from town/city that was not good enough. Thus author wanted more* **. And I say more b/c author continues to have many of the comforts of a residence. Other than lack of community community/roots, which is probably one reason author decided to take up a van in the first place.

And no, not everyone must enjoy things the same way as me. But not recognizing the sources of ones behavior does，along w/ bringing consumerism & the city mindset to a place w/o it.

*These opinions paint in broad strokes and are debatable，and have a good chance of poorly describing the OP. But this van life is a trend, some people see it on social media / blogs & proceed to replicate it, indeed messing with wilderness.

**Thinking about the word more and author's post...six internet links not being enough, evidence in favor of consumerism.
France is supplying electricity to all of its neighbors and they’re trading in the same market.

Thus, if electricity is scarse and expensive across Europe, French wholesale prices rise as well.

FWIW, the French government forces EDF to sell the electricity to its national competitors at a fixed price of around 50 Euro/MWh, IIRC.
Disagree. Working at a place where you are or can be genuine friends with coworkers is much more pleasant, and you can't be friends with someone if the only time you escape the sterile confines of the 'all business' relationship is at work parties.
From your link:

> Either way, it represents a significant decrease over the previous 15 years (in 2001, the homicide rate was 30.5). In 2018, according to Rosstat, there were 7,067 murders, and the homicide rate in Russia fell below the United States for the first time in recent history, falling to 4.9 per 100,000 compared to the US rate of 5.0 per 100,000 in 2018.

A common thing that happens in these comparisons is that people look at the Rosstat statistic that includes attempted murder.

Also, I'm specifically making my point about the major cities. Moscow sees a huge amount of investment of course, and I would expect the same from US cities like NYC or SF.
I mostly agree with you, but I think the strongest argument in favor of using them anyway is that you might add state/actions/third-party resources to your website at some point, and adding those headers now is harmless and a way to make those changes safe.

While intercontinental HVDC interconnects are technically feasible, no major world power would ever depend on those for essential power supplies. It's just too risky if foreign countries can cut off your electricity during a war or other crisis. Energy independence is strategically critical in a way that transcends economics.

I agree the if/else version here is a little verbose; I'll probably try to make this syntactically cleaner in some way. Maybe a Python-style `X if condition else Y`, maybe the parens and/or curlies could be removed, maybe this is a case for the upcoming expressive-switch or match syntax. There's a small chance I might even give some kind of dedicated map-like construct for |nils, since that will be such a common case.

However, I want to avoid getting too deep into FP-land. The hope is for Bagel to be familiar and comfortable to existing JavaScript devs, where they can benefit from a degree of purity while being able to understand or at least guess at the meaning of a given construct in front of them based on their prior experience. To that end, I think terms like "either" will be unfamiliar, and I also think situations like (Just (Just X)) will create a lot more confusion than utility. I'm struggling to think of a useful case for that myself (I'm sure they exist, but the point remains).

I'm thinking about the teams I've worked with, and I'm thinking about what would most effectively empower them to benefit from this "stateless subset" paradigm. A guiding principle is that I want Bagel to be a language that introduces some idealism into a pragmatic context, not one that's idealistic to the detriment of usability
> In all, how to eliminate accumulated cruft like is a fascinating problem to me in that I can't see how it ever gets done. And it's not a Google thing. Even the newer cooler startup I now work at has similar "work around old Safari bug, not sure if it's safe to remove" codepaths that I can imagine will stick around forever, for similar reasons.

I think this is because it's not purely a technology problem. Especially if you have enterprise customers, the real question you are asking is: by removing support for these specific browsers, are you breaking someone's important workflow in a way that lacks viable IT workarounds? Because if you are, the backpressure via business channels will be what forces you to keep the old cruft in the code.

In a previous job, I had to explicitly keep tabs on certain customers' IT policies w.r.t. browsers because that would ultimately inform our browser support matrix, and because it's enterprise, the actual browser versions could lag by 5 years or more. And when a single enterprise user is stuck on IE9 but the account is worth tens of thousands of dollars to your nascent startup, starting a fight with their IT department is one of the last things you want to risk customer goodwill on.

That's why I was goddamn ecstatic about Microsoft's move to Edge, because it meant historically stuck-on-Trident businesses now had a path to supporting more up-to-date browser tech on a much faster cadence.

MP3 art shared by napster is different from Knowledge shared by SciHub in that the former was financed privately by record companies while the latter is funded by state taxes (i.e. public money).

At the current state of affairs, Scientific Publishers can be reduced as "curators" of public research publications. They may work very well at that (i.e. reading something from Nature, or from JAMA has its prestige) but there is no reason why they should gate the knowledge behind paywalls. They should offer their "curation/selection" services, dedicated to create lists/collections of scientific articles already published elsewhere for free.
I highly doubt you'd ever get diff for XLS in a general or universal case. That format is so old and crusty that it's only really defined by what Excel will do with it.

XLSX, on the other hand, at least has to follow XML conventions and basic ZIP file structure, even if the open specification for the XML is really now a strict subset of what the current version of Excel will accept.

Excel makes programming easy because all of the intermediate values are visible left to right and the loop iterations are visible top to bottom. This makes it easy to iterate towards a solution by visual inspection, but also creates spreadsheets as buggy as you’d expect if you only tested by visual inspection.

While I agree in theory, for a long time there was no easy way to test frontend code across multiple browser. That effort was simply too high for anyone.

Nowadays front-end testing is doable but still far from being a pleasant experience. I did it at some jobs, in others we just didn't think the benefits were worth the hassle.

Now that I'm building a small business my backend is very well tested while the front-end doesn't have tests.

I've been tasked with migrating an excel model to a "real language" (usually by breaking it apart and re-implementing it via a combination of ETL and data warehouse jobs). I've never found a great way to run excel in a headless way, so in addition to not having version control for it, it's hard to "deploy" it when it grows beyond a single person's machine. I wish there was more of a gradient between Excel and "real systems".

I'm not holding this against you in any way :), but I wanted to say I'm getting tired of this "don't anthropomorphise animals" trend. Some bird species are clearly highly intelligent, and I feel that this 'opposition to anthropomorphising' is used to downplay this fact, and animal intelligence in general.

Regarding the crows funeral or vigil, I suspect this has been observed a long time ago by humans, and is the reason for the association of crows with death in some cultures.

That’s irrelevant since Germany is often exporting electricity at cheap or even negative prices.
