I don't find pilots refusing vaccines in significant numbers plausible in the slightest. Airline pilots have to comply with plenty of regulations and they're continuously trained to comply with safety regulations. Thus you don't become a pilot or don't remain one for long if you're allergic to safety regulations. If there's one occupation where expert recommendations are respected, it's aviation, and for good reasons -- the safety record of the industry speaks for itself.

Ask HN: Is there a CDN that pre-renders the app on the server?
I got a crazy idea this morning.

What if there was middle-man (CDN, proxy, etc) that sits between the browser and the target service and, for each page request, it would act as a headless browser, visiting the target page, running all the JS and doing the rendering, and then dumping the DOM tree to HTML and serving it to the client (with zero JS)?

So the target app could be 100% JS-rendered but it'd look to the browser as though it's just a static HTML page.

(I know that the question then is "doesn't it mean that the website would end up not being interactive because the JS doesn't get delivered to the browser?", but I imagine use cases when it's not really a concern)

Is there any project on the Web that does anything remotely similar to this idea? The core thing is using a headless browser to do all the JS-initiated rendering on the server before the content hits the browser.
Thanks for pointing this out, i didnt know that, and it's really weired.

Yeah, this seems like a made up explanation for high food prices. Large grocery stores build their own buildings. Like all of them do. Walmarts all look the same, Safeways all look the same, Jewel al looks the same. Those stores buy land, and if anything is on it, they knock it down and rebuild. There's lots of land in a rural area, and Walmart can buy it and build something. Also, not a lot of rezoning going on in the country - and no euro grocer is going to win a fight against a Walmart.

Likely, prices are high because population is super low, and people can buy real cheap at farmer markets where they just sell direct. European grocery stores buying up property in some rural area? That's called a conspiracy theory - blame problems of low population and no easy highway access, because we refuse to vote for taxes that pay for infrastructure on those scheming socialists an ocean away.
What they want to do and what they actually can do are two different things. Facebook is one of the biggest trackers in the world. But when even FB was dealt a huge blow after iOS 14.5, I don’t think other apps could fare much better.

Because there's clear definitions of various crimes.

I mean why not call it terrorism? Because terrorism is a blanket term that puts people outside of the normal legal system - e.g. 'outlaws' - and has them taken off to inhumane internment camps like Guantanamo Bay, where rule of law or the Geneva convention no longer apply. Apparently.

One day the US will / should be tried for war crimes, but since they have nukes and veto rights in the UN that's unlikely to happen. They've already indicated they would not hesitate to deploy troops to The Hague to extract any of their (former) leaders if they end up there.

I actually don't favor "per tool" or "per project". Just making an observation on why project owners are gravitating towards discord for their community. It is easier to setup than to setup a forum or something.

The issue with per project forum (instead of a discord type one login for all forums), is that it creates friction. For instance I have visited obsidian.md's forums a lot for things I need. Sometimes I have noticed someone asking something for which I know the answer, but then the pain of having to create an account and then answer that person, makes me just skip it.

The reason for discord communities to be active, is purely because there is no friction.
Make things out of Checkboxes... check!
This is a commonly repeated trope that is 100% false.

In the beginning of COVID pandemic, both Germany (one of the biggest and "slowest" EU country) and US passed very comprehensive laws to counter the pandemic crash. There was very strong bipartisan support, because (1) something needed to be done, and (2) the solution seemed quite obvious.

Since then, there has been disagreement about both whether anything needs to be done, and about what exactly that is; hence, nothing has happened.

In contrast to common fear-mongering, this is democracy working as it should - broadly agreed-upon things happen quickly, contentious things happen slowly or not at all.
The biggest thing the US should learn from recent wars is "do what you went there to do, then leave and don't try to engage in any nation building".

S3 is about as low level as it gets, if S3 is having a bad day a lot of things will come to a grinding halt.

Yet while S3 going down in 2017 generated a lot of headlines, there was no systemic impact like (say) the stock market tanking. Which leads me to think that most (not all, but most) really critical stuff will have backups outside us-east1.

Without wanting to distract from your point. Are you / your family spending more time at home and / or changed your buying behavior?

I noticed that we spend more on groceries too, but mostly because we've both been working from home more, and we've also compensated the lack of going out for dinner with slightly more expensive shopping.
As a side note, I can imagine this approach being used for a customer-facing "proxy server".

E.g. there are people who disable JS by default and enable it for the websites they trust or when the page is completely dead without running JS.

I imagine an improved "Disable JS" function that (1) makes sure your browser doesn't run any JS but (2) ships a normally rendered page.

There's no chance the ship poses a risk of burning those grain silos. If it explodes, it won't go up like the port of Beirut, it'll just kill people on the ship and quite possibly spill large quantities of oil into the sea. The risk to the flour mill is shipping through that port would be stopped for quite some time and if there was a large burning oil slick the surrounding area could be evacuated.
US, UK, Europe and China are exploring CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), e.g. June '21, https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/bank-of-england-tells-...

> Tom Mutton, a director at the Bank of England, said during a conference on Monday that programming could become a key feature of any future central bank digital currency ... what happens if one of the participants in a transaction puts a restriction on [future use of the money]? ... Sir Jon Cunliffe, a deputy Governor at the Bank, said digital currencies could be programmed for commercial or social purposes ... “You could think of giving your children pocket money, but programming the money so that it couldn’t be used for sweets. There is a whole range of things that money could do, programmable money, which we cannot do with the current technology.”

At an IMF meeting last October, Swiss BIS director Carstens commented on CBDCs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVmKN4DSu3g&t=1451s

> With cash, we don't know who is using the 100 dollar bill today ... a key difference with CBDC is that the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that determine the expression of that central bank liability .. also we will have the technology to enforce that ... if an advanced economy issues a CBDC, and someone in a 3rd country wants to use it, it will require the consent of the central bank of the residence of that person, therefore the degree of control will be far bigger.

Well-intentioned initiatives like Linux Foundation GHP (https://www.goodhealthpass.org/), EU digital health certificate and Apple+Android digital driver's license can all be drafted into the service of CBDC initiatives which require digital identity for digital currency wallets, unifying online and offline policy for programmable "permissions" like carbon/food quotas or other social credits. If western citizens acclimate to "showing papers" for routine daily movement, then real-time policy can be applied to those movements.

This could replace fungible currency with "colored credits", with policy attached to both the origin of money and a whitelist of possible destinations, goods or services. PayPal has amended their ToS to include merchant content regulation as a condition of payment processing.

realistically if AWS is down for 1+ day in that region you will be wondering very much if they're coming back in just 1hr more, 1 more day, 1 month or if at all.

Yeah, it's kind of "incredible" that they'd be gone for so long, but I've been on AWS during long outages before and it's never certain how long it will go on for and if data will be kept.

We assume too much I think of our providers, and I believe that's what the post is about. If you already _know_ AWS will be down for 30 days then you can make an informed decision based on that.

For me, there's no difference between 8 hours or 80, if you're down more than 8hrs I'm going to activate my redundancies. But: I have redundancies. Many people don't.

Interesting. I know how tedious it can be to get this working across platforms (or even just one!). So, I guess it is possible to use this on linux (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/input/ff.html)?

I'm loosely involved with the HapticsIF (https://hapticsif.org). They are working towards a new haptic usage page. If I remember the sentiment of those meetings correctly, USB PID was considered very old and not easy to work with. Besides that a more recent haptics Usage page was considered limiting (only for single effects).
Yes, but it doesn't really change the way you could handle it, and what I wanted to point out is that it actually helps with type safety, enabling you to create total functions.
Sorry, that's a purely political take, nothing to do with economics or technology. Everyone is using energy to do the things they want to do.

Notice that Bitcoin is somehow specially demonized, but vacation travels or Li-Ion battery production is not. (Although, travels are largerly banned, so there's some progress there.)

I'm pretty sure even if everyone transitioned to "renewable energy" (also largely ideological concept), it would still be useful to demonize Bitcoin for using too much energy, like it's not good to "hoard" money. The reason for that is that Bitcoin is the hardest money there has ever been, so people are fighting to accumulate as much of it as possible before everyone else.

If it's Firefox on Android long-pressing the back button gives you a history list that allows going back. It's a bug that happens in many sites, where the history gets a bunch of duplicate entries of the current page for some reason.
I would like a link to the bugs in question.

The only bugs I found have a long email chain with people being surprised that the kernel module even passed any tests at all, with extensive changes needed to fix logic issues for the path conversion code. The devs. even added an unload reload cycle to the tests because the module was in a bad enough state that it wouldn't consistently run over several iterations. I wouldn't be surprised if they would simply turn to unsafe if they had to write it in Rust, errors are apparently to be worked around not fixed. [1]

edit: the last part of my comment may be a bit over the top, but I think the quality issues at the language level are just the tip of the iceberg for this module.
Printing more money basically means that people (institutions) closer to the source of money get it cheaper and that effect compounds nastily.
The hard truth is that both are unsustainable and extremely inefficient in the end.

Transporting 70kg of meat in a 2 tons metal box, which is sitting unused 95% of its life, using 10 sq meters of public space. ~25% of the materials used on a car aren't recyclable and end up in a landfill. With an average lifespan of 12 years and 1.4 billion vehicles on earth that's a lot of waste.

And that's not even talking about the current trend of ditching nuclear for intermittent energy sources while at the same time increasing our reliance on electricity
I mean, relative to other other assets in your own portfolio. You can always switch between 1%, 10% and 100%, however you like at any point in time. As of Bitcoin, there are plenty of people who have 0% and haven't come about to increase it to X%.

If you want to maximize your $$$ _compared to others_, that's up for your enterprising skills, and nothing to do with bitcoin monetization progress.
Wait wait, so somebody panicked that something might be rewritten in Rust and they rushed to merge C code which was then proven to have memory safety bugs?!

Is that what happened?
> Renewable energies are cheap (they are basically "free"). Deploying them is expensive.

That just sounds like a half-truth, otherwise people wouldn't always be so impassioned about subsidising renewable. They'd jest buy land and build honking great renewable plants.

Now the situation may have changed in the last decade or so, because the growth in renewables is very real. But it takes no political will to deploy cheap energy. There would be queues of bankers trying to invest if they thought they could undercut market producers and make good returns. Every greedy person on the planet (so somewhere in the region of 8 billion of them) would be happy to get in on the deal.

No, it's redirect.

You generally have two "servers" open, one on port 80, another on 443.

Request on port 80 get a http 301 or 302 to https://${server}${request_uri}

Usually both ports are served by the same daemon, but different vhosts/servers or whatever you want to call it

ICE have <30% efficiency. Usually about 20%.

Turbines in powerplants have about 50% efficiency. Best ones up to 60%.

Even if you get all your energy from fossil fuels it's better to burn them in powerplants than in small inefficient ICEs in cars that most of the time aren't even working in optimal conditions and start/stop constantly.

The US Is a Banana Republic: The 1% Own More Wealth Than the Entire Middle Class
Yes, but when explaining it to more advanced audience you should not use technical vocabulary in a wrong way.
First, there's a misconception to be cleared :)

Unsafe code is not the only solution to borrow checking problems, as Rust supports reference counting, which is an implementation of shared ownership.

Whether this defeats the point of Rust is subjective, but regardless, it's a solution to at least certain ownership problems.

A very typical area where you can observe this is bidirectional trees. They're ugly in Rust! :)

Now, memory unsafety is not a black and white matter. In my experience with the community, you'll be surprised at how much pragmatism there is. Nobody will scream sacrilege if one expresses the necessity to use memory unsafe code¹.

The connection to your question is that overally, the Rust memory safety model is not all-or-nothing, rather, a spectrum of safety above the convenientional entirely-unsafe approach. With this in mind, I'd say that "98% Rust-safety" is well beyond the "100% unsafe" approach of traditional low-level languages.

As a matter of fact, I suppose that in the future, we'll see languages developing intermediate memory safety features (I think Zig was doing something like that).

[¹] The actix-web case is a very interesting one. I haven't looked at it, but my personal suspicion is that it made use of _wildly_ unsafe code, and that usafe of unsafe code was not the problem, rather that unnecessary usage was.
