I've seen your other (earlier) posts about .net ecosystem and... I'm sorry, but if the said maturity scale would exclude projects like the ones you're bragging about, it would only be good, for it would reduce the amount of junk on nuget.

Simple file locking implementation? Why the hell would someone risk importing a nuget when they can implement it themselves in like half a day? (If you know you need a file lock, you know what's needed to implement one, the rest is about finding the docs.)

Library for scalable servers? You don't need one with async, all the other building blocks are already shipped with netcore. (Ya, maybe you won't be able to squeeze the last 5% of performance without enormous amount of work, but 99% of the projects don't need that. Those which do would probably roll their own anyway. BTW, the remaining 5% performance win from some library would easily spoiled by inefficient event handlers.)

Implying that lack of libraries akin to those in Java means that .net developers are doing non-innovative, boring CRUD stuff is extremely condescending. Maybe Java has so many more of such libraries because everything is so much more cumbersome to write from scratch in Java?

(All libraries are a liability. They'd better solve a HARD and/or COMPLEX problem that'd take 1+ months to implement before I vet them into a project. Your examples are not in that class.)

My theory is that CIA is getting used to do counterinsurgency against non state actors/irregular forces like terrorist groups and they are caught off guard against "great power" state with significantly better counter intelligence, surveillance and tech.

"there is no Blue in Korean" title is very misleading. As is written in the fine article, they certainly have a different word for what in English is commonly called red, blue, and green. It's not lumped together for example so that blue and green would be the same word in Korean.

The interactive color maps are excellent.

No its not, have quite a few colleagues in SGP and the caste system which everybody knows of and often enjoys tremendously is quite something. As as european you have to have stomach for this kind of society to live and raise kids in for example. Everybody has their maid(s) which are paid nothing and often abused in one way or another and tossed away in case of issues.

Yes we can go the usual avenue of whataboutism and name places which are much worse than SGP, but the truth is, SGP is not a democracy and at its core doesn't share the western values of equality and human rights.

But as long as partying and cheap flights to Bali is all you ever wanted from life and don't care about rampart social issues everywhere around you, life can be great there. If you like hard long working hours and have something to offer on job market that is.

The strong point of plan9 is the universal IPC. This kills the need for a separate clients and servers that communicate with their own protocols to get access to remote resource. You can simply import / export anything, this isn't limited to static content as daemons can also export virtual resources. It also makes lots of programs unnecessary as traditional shell tools can access and modify resources and even system settings. Sort of like sysfs on linux but more on steroids.

Plan9 was also far ahead with sandboxing by having namespaces, which means you can expose restricted views of the "filesystem" to each process. Since in plan9 there's no ioctls and every resource access is simply read/write syscall (even networking!), restricting the "filesystem" is all you need to restrict what a process can do on your system.
Catalysts make reactions go faster and are not consumed during the reaction. There are molecules that are mirror images of one another. It was thought that there were only two types of catalysts that could help with those: enzymes and metal catalysts. The laureates discovered a third type that is easier to work with and outperforms the other methods. It is in wide use now.

(Edit: that turned out to be pretty ELI5 actually. Proceeds to build mirrored molecules from Lego bricks...)
The NYT was called “misinformation” by the NY Supreme Court after being sued by Project Veritas for defamation in the NYT — at least in the context of that purportedly factual article.

Similarly, their breathless coverage of Sandmann or Smollett suggests a certain ideological bias.

Captive wifi is basically dead already, anyone who thinks they are providing a service by running it is mistaken. It's been busted due to https for years now. It's also almost always some sort of pointless CYA wifi license agreement.
Or just watch it on television. (You can even tape it when it's on television… sshhhhhhh.)
This is just my personal preference for my own use cases.

It is a popular tool. I personally don't use it. I prefer to let attackers bang away at my services. My public SFTP servers are the only servers with ssh exposed on port 22 and the attackers are free to play 365 days a year. It costs me nothing and wastes their threads. Websites? Enumerate away!

Why? It helps to know that when you block one IP, you have not blocked a bot. The Command and Control systems manage thousands or sometimes tens of thousands of compromised systems. The C&C can be configured to continue on with a new IP instantly when blocked, though most botters prefer to be a little stealthy so you won't see it return for a while. This gives the illusion that you have blocked the bad bot. The C&C's that attack big financial institutions will also utilize dozens of VPS cloud accounts, hundreds of LTE modems from several carriers. Blocking them by IP is not practical unless you are open to blocking all VPS and wireless carriers entirely which most businesses will not do.

I prefer to entirely ignore IP addresses and generalize protections at the application layer or the load balancer if required. Obvious enumeration or attacks can be sink-holed via load balancers configurations and tarpits/traps easily enough. How to summarize protections? One way is to grab the access logs for the past year and write a script to generate regex patterns to allow/deny patterns I know I will see and know I should never see. If something is really sensitive enough for me to feel the need to block bots then it will not be on the public internet. I will put it in a private network behind a VPN.
Obviously your mileage may vary (etc etc), but for me, it's all about removing carbs. It's the difference between water fasting being (honestly) easy .vs. A herculean feat that I couldn't manage.

Probably not. Japanese construction is the best in the world (I think, by a fairly large margin). I have always been in awe of the speed and quality of their construction industry.

Has to do with all the earthquakes they get, and strong government regulations (with big nasty teeth).
You're right, of course. I wasn't thinking about that clearly :)

Edge case or not, it shows that the need for secure connections can suddenly appear in unexpected places.

It might not matter there and then. But in a couple of years that website might become more profitable, or might grow and include more content that is dangerous when insecure.
Dozens? The 4chan post said "almost 6,000 internal Git repositories". We don't use git at work (TFS, yay), and we definitely aren't on their scale, but that seems high to me. Do they have a repo for every class? Is this normal?

The hours worked is all over the place really. Some of the top streamers don't work anywhere close to 40 hours or past it. Others grind 10 hours a day for almost every day of the year (often burning out a few years later). A lot of the top streamers do a combination of taking sporadic breaks, streaming only 3-4 hours a session, etc.

The other problem with looking at hours worked is it's hard to quantify sporadic interactions on multimedia and the likes. Arguably the biggest drain, most of these people are always "online" and have a hard time unplugging themselves. This is further exasperated by the momentum loss most streamers perceive when not streaming for a long while.

>On production quality, I think it's a mistake to think it matters too much

But we don't really know that yet. It's extremely hard to quantify all these variables and what truly matters. What we do know is many people in these circles have fallen to the side since they were unable to keep up with the modicum of effort newcomers put in despite their lack of resources and despite the first-mover advantage these old-timers had. At the same time, we see other parties break through with new concepts while putting in a ton of effort to market and PR themselves, and it worked, as seen with the Hololive example. The top earner is (apparently) also much more professional than the majority of the top 10/100/N.

>Live streaming is a different thing to television

If anything, this is the biggest problem. If beginners are expected/advised to put in much more effort and resources to (increase their odds of) breaking through compared to before, why is it acceptable for someone earning a Silicon Valley-equivalent salary while living in a much lower CoL area to stream in a dank basement or attic with poor audio quality? This isn't a criticism as much as a question. Maybe it doesn't matter. But it's also the question which makes people wonder "should they be earning as much as they do?"
Haha, want to put a bet on those 3 years? :D

HTTP is here to stay. Maybe browsers on PCs will make accessing it extra hard, though I suspect that's untrue as well (maybe POSTing data to HTTP web sites will be harder in that people will see extra pop-ups).

But sites which have lived as HTTP forever are not going to magically get some maintenance done on them to move to HTTPS, and people will still visit those web sites.

And let's talk about all those crazy cheapo IoT devices that are already spreading through the world that have their "http" servers hard-coded.

Don't get me wrong, I've been on the HTTPS bandwagon since forever (before LetsEncrypt, the best deal you could get for multi-domain personal webpage certs was StartSSL, an Isreali company with very buggy software that you had to fight to get a cert issued). And I've long (decades?) advocated that browsers should first try an HTTPS page when protocol-less URL is given (which they are only now moving to, duh?).
What if we made a Internet Standard for messaging and presence?
> punish producers but this person isn’t a producer.

Er, then who made it?

Hint, when a common law document says "…the production of…" it means exactly that; they use "… and/or distribution of…" to capture the derived crime of, well, distributing it.

Like kiddie porn, DIY nuclear weapons, and counterfeit money, some things are a crime to simply make - even in the basement their mother's house.

You're right. But so am I.
Somewhat you are right - but it is difficult to differentiate between the two: I don't want to use Whatsapp for moral issues, but I also a) don't want to loose connections to people who still use the platform and b) I don't believe in actiely convincing peole of anything. They have to reach these conclusions themselves - until then, I can choose mautrix to stay connected, limiting my interaction with the platform to the bare minimum.
Well clearly they're trying to stop immigrant citizens parachuting in less-educated adults from poorer countries through spousal visas, and then have them live on government welfare.

Being able to financially support dependent foreign spouses seems like a very reasonable requirement.

EDIT: The spousal visa requires the sponsor to have an income of £18,600 (about 25,000 US dollars). That's not at all a high income.
Dangerous Feelings
Yeah I've done the certbot thing for a variety of servers. I have experienced update barfing. I set up a monitoring thing (the same monitoring thing I use to tell me if my website is down) to tell me if my cert is getting near expiry. The certbot tool I used just did a soft stop-start of nginx, which took I think 200ms or so. Either way, I suspect the startup and renewal time costs are significantly lower than the time cost of writing a blog post to justify not doing it.

And again, this is assuming you start from the premise that you must host your own thing and manage your own thing; if you actually want to zero out this complexity, just use GitHub Pages.

I tend to think that if you are talking to someone and they say "I'm having problem <x>", and you say "Have you tried a, b, c known solutions?", to which they say "I can't do those because I also need <y>", so you say "Have you tried d, e, f known solutions?", to which they say "I can't do those because I also need <z>", the longer the conversation goes on the more it's obvious the person in question is just happy being grumpy. Which is fine. I have tons of different crank views, I can't tell you how much code I've written rather than use something off the shelf because of whatever screws are loose in my head. But it's sort of the price of admission, right? Like, other people are not experiencing any of this stress, the entire problem domain is self-imposed.
I’m not sure if you misread the previous comment, but their point is quite commonly experienced by people who use Linux vs MacOS/Windows.

All hardware being the same (RAM, SSD, CPU) as OOM is reached, Linux will freeze, whereas Windows continues to run smoothly. All OSes try to reclaim memory pages, just Linux seems to hang the user space while doing so.

As someone who has dual-booted Windows and Linux for a decade, I can 100% attest to this glaring problem.

> doing management rather than politics,

This. I want someone who will throw the culture war out the window (both the left and right wings of it) and focus 100% on competent problem solving and execution and on real world practical problems facing the country.

These are problems like infrastructure, transportation, water security in the West, energy modernization and decarbonization, repatriation of critical manufacturing capabilities (or at least making the country attractive for it), bringing government services into the digital age, and so on.

"Competence!" should be the battle cry of this movement.

The culture war gets everyone to focus on culture war issues instead of the basic competence of the candidates, leading to the election of the likes of reality show star bullshit artists and people with early stage dementia.
It's actually surprisingly stable and usable. Which may contribute to the problem ;-)

Tabs only load once directly viewed, so a session restore opens pretty quickly and doesn't actually use all that much memory. After a time, as more tabs are visited (and yes, I really do try to shut some down with time), the session eventually gets less usable, though that can take many days (I've not tracked this).

Moving and searching within the tabset itself is another part of the challenge, though at least Firefox will prompt if you're opening URL that's already open elsewhere. (Chrome ... fails at this.)

And yes, of course I'm using Tree-Style Tabs.

That's Democrats, who almost always win the popular vote but are structurally handicapped by the votes for Senate and Presidency given to rural states.

Totally makes sense to me really. It's just enables genocidal dictatorships to go full "what about" when called out for their crimes. Yes, we just exterminated a small nation, but look how much U.S. companies pollute!
If they use the common github approach of one fork per contributor, 6,000 repos accumulate quickly.
The way to fight people who advise to use FB less or just don't login and scroll all day long, is to reframe the problem as an extremist binary choice, either use FB three hours per day every day or go to huge effort to delete everything. Most people will choose the less extreme of the "binary" options of continuing to use FB. Its a common sophistry trick.
Half price cloud hosting for a limited time only
HN has anonymous accounts and personally identifiable information can be hidden or removed by the user, which to me has the same effect. HN complains to me that I cannot reset my pwd if I ever forget it because I didn't even share my mail.

People often claim anonymous platforms are doomed to fail but I think social media is the main problem currently.

Unless he's directly peering at an exchange into his own datacenter (I doubt it), then he's not hosting it by himself - he's depending on a provider for connectivity and hosting.

I don't see what distinction you're trying make between "addressing" and "content". In either case he would be dependent on a third party (that he may have to pay for their services) to keep his site online.

He renews his certificate every two years, or his site effectively goes offline. He renews his domain every two years, or his site effectively goes offline.

What? Besos can sell his stocks in a few months and turn it into cash. Even if he can't sell everything, let's say he can "only" get 50B in a few months. Eventually he will be able to sell it all if he wants to, there are buyers. Even his ex wife is now one of the richest women in the world so...

Not really. How would an end user know the difference between the owner rotating their certificates and a MITM?

Based on cloudflare's own blog[0], 1% of queries went unanswered for about 10 mins, and were significantly delayed for a few hours. 5% of queries were delayed for a couple of hours. 95% of queries continued to be resolved as normal.

This is referring explicitly to users of 1.1.1.1, which is likely not the same infrastructure as domains hosted by cloudflare dns.

Language is fascinating. I’ve found it interesting that two different cultures can have the exact same idioms. For example in English I say “goosebumps” while in Japanese it’s exact same, tori-hara (鳥肌) or chicken skin. Both cultures map the concept to a bird’s skin.

On a separate linguistic note, you’d probably really love the book “Metaphors We Live By” by George Lakoff. It’s all about how languages have the power to hide and highlight. It blew my mind when I first read it.

I don't know about that, it has won the popular vote in 7 of the past 8 US presidential elections.
This happens a lot in English. English has a lot of meaning drift, even in native words from Anglo Saxon. For example, deer used to mean any animal, but you have hound (any dog), meat (any food), fowl (any bird), and many, many more. You even have stuff like wrist, where it means "joint between hand and arm" in English, by vrist in Swedish means ankle. In earlier proto Germanic I believe it meant multiple things and each language just picked something quite randomly.

It all makes sense. If you're part of group X which is legally excluded from wealth or power, you're hardly going to be impressed by a system that says "lets judge everyone's moral worth as a person on their inherited wealth".

So the best way to increase support for market based economics is to remove such government interventions.

But instead the market-based people often team up with the bigots slowing prpgress on both fronts.
