> anyone could mitm your website.

Not anyone, just a select few and it’s more likely that the notoriety would be good for your name, not bad. The MITM would be detected and corrected.

The odds of a MITM on a self hosted blog are much lower than just normal stuff like the host being rooted.
Imagine you're standing on a set point on the surface on the outer coin, e.g. the one touching the inner coin. As the outer coin rotates around the inner coin, your experienced reality will be that you see n-1 rotations.

In the example of the outer coin having 1/3 the radius of the inner coin, as the outer coin rolls around the inner coin 4 times, you would actually only touch the inner coin 3 times.
I'm not recommending the Swedish system per se. Just pointing out that as long as people feel they understand how to vote to nudge the result in their desired direction, and that the outcome (ie. who ends up in parliament) feels reasonable and representative then people probably don't care too much about the details of the voting system
A lot of the complexity the author is worried about is brought on by iconoclastic choices.

> Code exists for authomating [sic] [LetsEncrypted renewal certificates], but when I last checked, it did not run on my hardware platform

I mean, we're talking about a task scheduler here. *nix and BSD and MacOS have Cron. Windows has a task scheduler. Every cloud platform has a mechanism to schedule tasks. Is this a Temple OS situation?

But if minimal complexity is what the author wants, they should consider building a static site and deploying it, say, using GitHub Pages, which supports SSL out of the box right now.

> Lastly, as the operator of a personal website, I object to any outside control. I run my own website on my own server for exactly this reason.

So then let's dispense with the notion that HTTPS is adding complexity and get back to the actual point here: potentially well justified neuroticism about having everything under your control is leading to additional complexity. That's fine. Just own it. The whole thing boils down to "I don't want to do HTTPS and I don't want to let someone else do it for me because I don't want to and that's what I want". You do you, dude.

> A TLS certificate is issued by an organization that is not controlled by website owners, website developers, or users of the Internet. That means any time the issuer wants to raise requirements or fees for issuing TLS certificates, he is free to do so.

Turn off your certificate when that happens? Unless you do pinning or HSTS you have no obligation to use HTTPS in perpetuity just because you use it now. If it was someone who wasn't familiar with system administration I'd appreciate that maybe they don't know how to set up their webserver as such, but given that this is a person who's chosen to run their own.

I'm actually not really sure why even this parade of horribles would be coherent. The author has a custom domain for which they pay a registrar. If the registrar raised it prices, he would have to migrate to another registrar or allow the domain to deregister or pay the additional fee. Everything on this earth is transient, it's OK, be at peace. If anything I'd be more interested in a parallel blog post that says "Why I ran my own domain registrar rather than give someone else $10 USD a year for a custom domain" -- that'd actually be the kind of adorable crankery I love to see.

I do get wanting to internalize the locus of control as much as possible, but at some point -- running your own email, running your own domain registrar, issuing your own SSL cert -- the level of complexity leaps up to the point that almost no one does. Which is totally fair! But also not a big deal! It's OK to use external services.

Oddly I actually agree with the author about the underlying point that HTTPS is not really in a cosmic sense necessary for every little domain, but because it's trivial to implement and free -- even notwithstanding engaging any of the ideas about privacy and surveillance that militate towards HTTPS -- I don't understand the objection.
You can create a service point to the `pod` tag. Or a manifest.

Okay, sure, if you don't care about the visitors to your site, don't bother with HTTPS.

Personally, I don't want visitors to my site having adverts injected by their ISPs or public wifi networks they're connected to. I don't want to needlessly expose my visitors to having malicious JS being run on their machines. I don't want a MITM to be able to change the text that a visitor receives on my website, and make the reader believe that I said something I didn't say. Especially when the fix for all of this is incredibly simple and introduces only a miniscule overhead.

Which would be wrong, unless they start accepting self-certificates. You should not need third party certificate provider to be able to run simple webpage. You should not need to pay them money and should not need to jump through their administrative hoops.

You wouldn’t just be watching the news; you could be done watching a movie on your newly-mounted TV before I’d be done with the staples! I recently upgraded to a larger TV and used the large version of this mount that used 750 staples. And my “wallpaper” here is some thick, rubbery substance that the staples can barely go through so each one had to be driven slowly with care, not using the momentum from the stapler pop. It took hours.

This isn’t for speed, but for when you don’t have any other option.
I've only been trying Plan 9 (via 9front) the past few days, just in a VM, but I agree about the mouse. My mouse hand cramps up very easily, and I've become so accustomed to keyboard driven interfaces (I use dwm as my window manager, for example) it almost feels weird using a mouse so much.

Definitely a very interesting system though.
Again, I'm not sure what you're arguing about.

I just said "the UX here is due for a lot of innovation." And you replied "I want to have searchable fulltext in those 900+ tabs." Where is the conflict?

Yes, you could build a really interesting tab/bookmarking system in a browser that blurred the lines between tabs and bookmarks and archival. You could do really interesting things with browser history, you could do really interesting things with all of these features.

That is exactly what I just said, the area is ripe for innovation. Currently, you don't have full-text searchable tabs, the UX isn't optimized for your use case. Would be cool if you did though, that would be a feature that would be fun for browsers to play around with.

That's a good point. There's also a bunch of other confounding factors which affect sleep. E.g. circadian rhythm, variance of sleep/wake times, how physically tired you are, how much recent REM/deep and whether there is a deficit, how stressed you are, screen usage before bed, eating close to bed time, exercise close to bedtime, etc... Maybe the Vitamin D3 taken close to bedtime is enough to tip some people over the edge to some kind of insomnia, given the presence of other melatonin inhibitors.
I don't disagree with the author, but I'd like to point out that he literally has a donate link in the bottom.
As I mention in my top-level comment, it seems reasonable to say "I don't really care about surveillance risk of my low traffic blog", but it's a bit incongruous when it's combined with "I care a great deal that Big SSL might be rope-a-doping me and five years from now they'll charge me money for my SSL cert for my low traffic blog, and if you don't like it, it's your problem!"

We're talking about a free thing that on one hand takes five minutes to set up and on the other hand provides almost no benefit! It's hard to imagine lower stakes for anyone involved.
Eliminate diuretics at least after lunch, like caffeine and alcohol. I would also recommend drinking more water throughout the day (vs other drinks). Reducing sugary consumption at least after lunch can also help.

Physical activity can also help. My theory is that it can help sitting at a computer all day can sometimes cause me to retain fluid and that it's the retained fluid that is being processed when lying flat. If you notice your calves/feet/etc being slightly swollen this could be a sign.
Bring back the dumb terminal. Place mobile phone on a docking pad and see a standard PC OS on the screen - open apps, access files or use a browser. When done just grab the phone and go.
NoSQL is just a poor term. It lumps together a number of radically different approaches. Imagine a term like NoCar that would lump together airplanes, bicycles, boats, trains, and scooters, just because they are means of transportation which are not a car.

Things like Redis, Kafka, Consul, FoundationDB, RRDTool, git, S3, and plain files are all NoSQL databases of sorts. They all are useful in certain areas, all have very different features and guarantees, and each would be a poor substitute for each other or for an SQL database. (Likely even MongoDB can be useful in some areas, even though I have a hard time imagining that.)

I wish the whole "NoSQL" moniker would go away, replaced by a few terms that make more sense.

That said, the original article is a good one, laying out the upsides and downsides of a document database, and why it makes sense as a local, per-app database.

I found "Foundations of Deep Reinforcement Learning - Theory and Practice in Python" by Laura Graesser and Wah Loon Keng quite helpful in that it was somewhat like get a excellent summary course in about 6 years of RL advancements. I will say that it's quite forthcoming with the math. Anyway, I just wanted to know how they (not sure exactly who did it first, I just meant people with machines) got RL to play Atarti Pitfall. So take any recommendation I make with a grain of salt.
I agree with you but this is a problem that date backs to the 90s (anyone remember Bitlbee, Trillion, Pidgeon, etc?). Unfortunately incompatibility is seen by businesses a feature rather than a flaw -- despite the annoyances it causes for users.
This is worse than retrocomputing; it's necrocomputing, a pathetic attempt to mate with the corpse of a dead concept operating system. Instead of drawing any interesting lessons from Plan 9 for OS and distributed system design, it's an attempt to turn a burned-out wreck into a daily driver, generally by redefining driving as "sitting in a car and making brrr noises".

They are remarkably honest about it: "There is no advanced auto-completion of program names and flags, like hipster zsh and fish users might be accustomed to. But this really isn't an issue since Plan 9 has virtually no programs or flags to speak of, as you will discover soon enough."

Those with any kind of spidey sense for going down tech rabbit holes might also notice how front-and-center features for, ummn, connecting/emulating computers not running Plan 9 are in this guide.

Randomly cutting into the document presents you with a plethora of the usual fetishization of the fact that a nearly useless operating system, window manager, etc. doesn't take nearly as many LoC as something that more than a handful of people use, not to mention a giant list of things that you apparently shouldn't do, like use files made in Office: "There are a great many office suits (sic) on most operating systems, and other office utilities besides too numerous to count. So many are the choices in fact that it's easy to forget that "office" is just a fancy word for working with text."

It seems to close on some daft explication of how everything can be a database and how you don't need a real one, presumably after having invested thousands of words on how you don't need a spreadsheet, don't need a web browser, don't need an office suite, etc.

I cannot think of anything that captures the spirit of Plan 9 less than attempting to revive a dead, nearly 30 year old operating system and pretend that it's a useful daily driver. At the time Plan 9 was built it was a quirky and clean take on technology of the time, built on cutting edge and interesting hardware. At a time when distributed systems in Unix (not really Linux, then) were a tooth-grinding exercise in frozen NFS mounts and awkward, irritating incompatibilities, Plan 9 was a breath of fresh air. Honoring its spirit would be building a new operating system that applies this kind of simplicity to modern hardware (a hell of a task) - and learns from its mistakes, not trying to set up a homestead in this utter wreck.
As with any question asked by news media you should answer with a clear 'no' here.

The suggestions are bad. What do they mean by internal research that is shared with congress? User discussion containing personal information? Without any checks? This is an all about horrible idea and a disaster for people that correctly identified government surveillance becoming a huge problem. No such body can function efficiently in any modern state, it would work as badly as FISA courts in the US.

Also she proposes a government institution that is staffed with former social media employees? An institution restricted to former employees from Google, Facebook, Microsoft? And I should expect government to hold these companies to account? Completely laughable and dangerously naive.

To be honest, this is so bad I think it could have been Facebooks own idea to achieve regulatory capture to fortify themselves in shaping digital policy.

I used this method for a while on one of my teams. It was useful and helped provide more accurate estimates.

Some tips I have for people interested:

* Get about two months of velocity data in place first.
* Run the simulation on a regular basis. Update your estimates every week/sprint.
* It helps to have individual work units be "sized" as consistent as you can. (E.g. each ticket is 2-3 days, a consistent pointing system, etc.) It's ok if anomalies happen from time to time.
* Dates will get more accurate the further you get into a project.

Some things I've learned from doing this exercise:

* When work units are sized to be 2-3 days of effort, engineers complete about 4 units/wk on average.
* Don't shoot for the perfect estimate at the start of a project. Plan as much scope as you know and enough to get started.
* As new scope is found, update your project plan and estimates.

So through the downtime of Facebook I learned they have their own registrar which makes it, I think, a lot easier to figure out all domains related to that registrar and simply black list any and all domains hosted on that registrar? Than you know for sure that even a typo page won’t be tracking you. I just don’t know how to find all domains related to a given registrar and if that is even possible.

Plugging in some rough numbers, that seems equivalent to a ~170W LED flood light. A 200W version is $70 from Amazon (e.g. [1]). Are the emitted wavelengths crucial or is such a lamp on a timer a viable way to get early "sunlight" in the winter?

I see now that people seem to be equating intuition with making steady, obvious progress.

If you think about the point of all the adjacent comparisons in the inner loop for bubble sort is, it is finding the largest number and moving it to the last place in the array. It keeps doing that in a loop, the next time the second largest is found and at the second last place, etc.

This algorithm doesn’t particularly do anything different, it just finds the largest and places it at `i` instead of the last place in the array. You’ll find that as it does it’s thing the array from 0 to `i` is always in ascending order.

It’s very easy to teach this algorithm, the next variation that stops the inner loop at `i` instead of `n`, and the next variation that doesn’t do unnecessary swaps, which ends up being insertion sort I think? I would have to check.

Porn and sexual are not the same. There is a line, and so far Twitch stays on the safe side of it.
The other thing for comparison to traditional jobs is the hours worked. Most streamers I follow work insane hours. Then the other bits and pieces they have to pay for themselves. For example taxes employers would otherwise cover and things like health insurance in the US.

On production quality, I think it's a mistake to think it matters too much. Live streaming is a different thing to television. In very much the same way Roblox is different to AAA games.

There's also a level outside of the more chaotic personalities who make a lot of money in spite of themselves where there is a lot of professionalism going in to making things seem pretty casual because these people know their audience.

I've experienced a general meaningless and wanting to die after not working out for months. Working out is the best antidepressant (aside from hallucinogens) that nature has to offer us. It's hard to get out of the slump and get started, but once one does, it really does help out one's brain.

I disagree ... the "two copies of the natural numbers" is sorta fine, except that they're more "spread out" so it's not at all surprising.

The surprising thing about BT is that the "pieces" are "moved around" ... there's no expansion or contraction.

Yes, the natural number thing helps to understand that simply counting things doesn't help, but the "rigid motion" aspect of BT takes it further.
