To be short, the evolution of Japan during Meiji and the remarkable social cohesion that it has produced since, in my opinion, simply cannot be compared with the European experiences you mention. One of them does not even exist anymore, so it has clearly failed (and lasting barely half the time "modern" Japan has existed). The other is much less rigidly formal than the Japanese version, and has much wider social differences and inequalities as outcomes.

> that "male energy crap" doesn't really mean or exist anywhere beyond

... beyond the global statistics on violence. http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/statistics/...

Call it what you want, the reality is that violent action and unrest is a very male thing (and typically performed in summer, but that's another story). Look at videos of riots pretty much anywhere and you'll quickly see the overwhelming majority of actors (both among rioters and authorities) is invariably male.

History shows us we can have social systems where all women are effectively treated as slaves, lasting centuries; the other way around, eh, not so much. Surely there is a reason for that. (This does not mean society should indulge anyone's "appetite for destruction"; I'm just pointing out that shit-stirrers tend to be men, so if you can keep men busy, chances are that you can also keep the peace for longer.)

> Would you rather spend 30 minutes filling paper work and have fast public transport

Oh, absolutely - I never implied that bureaucracy has to be inefficient. Efficient bureaucracy can be tremendously effective, but typically it is efficient only when its cogs "believe" in the intrinsic value of having an efficient bureaucracy. My point was that such belief seems much stronger in modern Japan than in most other countries.
And misplaced identification of this system as capitalism.
Throwaway, but I can assure you as an SF resident, most of us are more than happy to see Walgreens go.

They pay and treat their employees terribly along with pushing junk food and other garbage to people just trying to fill a prescription.

We are excited for quality, owner operated pharmacies to return and replace them. Just like they served us before Walgreens came in and muscled them all out of business.

It’s almost as if not looking out for your community results in that community not looking out for you.
Exactly. Or... what about people who cannot get the vaccine for health reasons? Any news on that?

Right, but even if 46 arrests in a year isn't representative of the median shoplifter, it's still an appalling example. Why is the justice system so ineffective that a shoplifter is allowed to be arrested 46 times in a year? You'd think by the 4th or 5th one he'd be denied bail.

I guess you're paying a 5x premium for Lambda in the constant usage scenario, a similar premium as on-demand vs spot instances.

4GB m6g.medium $0.0385/hour

4GB Lambda works out at $0.1920/hour

It's been a while since I last used queue driven autoscaling groups, but https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/scaling-your-applicatio... has startup time of about 4 minutes from scratch or 36s from a paused instance in a 'warm pool.' vs less than a second for Lambda in the original article. So the decision ends up coming down to responsiveness vs cost. Presumably Fargate comes somewhere in between.
Shhhh. Nobody wants that realization.
Because a course of monoclonal antibody treatment costs $5000, whereas a vaccine could be had for dollars
I don't think it's fully available, so it's rationed for high risk cases. And it's expensive (much more so than a vaccine, you need an IV and to go sit in a hospital room for awhile)
>I'm not particularly invested in defending SF

It's depressing that we need prefaces like this.
I’m not convinced that it’s inefficient though. Google is quite likely the company that’s running the most amount of code in the most amount of computers compared to ANY company in the planet, and their system works. I’ll be curious how Microsoft works especially with internal APIs because they’re kinda the one competitor in terms of mammoth code bases and are famous for keeping backwards compatibility for external interfaces at the least.

Minimally they also use monorepos, so there’s that.

Your original post said "I'm in LA county and they keep a database."

CA is larger than LA county, so immediately is more effective than what you proposed in your OP.

There are also multiple initiatives to make country-wide databases of vaccination status available via app. Test status? False positives, false negatives, can be done at home, etc, and -still only applies to people who have had COVID-. Everyone without a health issue (that should keep them out of public spaces anyway) can get vaccinated.

The problem is that reactors that can do enriching are also the ones you want to ensure fuel safety - as they can run on natural (not enriched) uranium.

If you need enriched uranium to start, then you need enrichment plants, which have 0 difference between making fuel or bomb core (about only real difference being that U-235 as bomb core is somewhat low efficiency option compared to plutonium or thorium fuel cycles).

Meanwhile plutonium produced from reactors can be milled together with uranium to produce MOX fuels to be burnt again, often in reactor not capable of breeding fuel.

P.S. Thorium doesn't fix any of that, it just was IIRC a bit more complex to use for power generation and for bomb making plutonium won by slight difference.

In git I don't know, but in fossil, it already does that if the file that the collision is generated for is not the manifest file. The manifest file and all other files are identified by the SHA-1 hash (in newer versions SHA3-256 is also supported), although the manifest file also has a R card which is the MD5 hash of the all of the other files. This means that if there is a collision, it will be detected and the file would be rejected.
> I'm honestly still shocked that updating the hashing algorithm wasn't built into Git from day one. I really wonder why.

The first basically functional version of Git was created in less than a month by Linus Torvalds, immediately after Bitkeeper revoked the license/permission for linux kernel developers to use that proprietary source control tool for free. Linus took a look at Monotone and Mercurial IIRC, but they were not nearly fast enough at that time, so he created Git to just do what the linux kernel development community needed.

This isn't the first time Linus did something that academics said was a terrible mistake, and then his creation took over the freaking world, because it works so freaking well. (And it still does today, 16 years later. Maybe tomorrow it won't, I dunno. But it probably will.)
Download Files from Url Flutter
Something that I have found very interesting:
In New Zealand the QR codes are like the "Works Now" NSW ones. The combination of the A4 page size, the QR code taking up most of that page and peoples natural standing distance away from the posters, roughly means that the QR code takes up most of their screen. And I am not sure why, but some phones seem to really struggle with this setup.

And when the code won't scan, people's natural tendency is to then move closer to the QR code (make it fill the whole screen), which doesn't help at all. But if they instead initially move away it can fix the issue.

I'm not sure what would cause this? Maybe a reduction in relative angular distortion? Or perhaps only a crop of the image is "scanned" for QR codes?

But yeah this, (very) anecdotal, data point would counterintuitively push for a smaller QR code than "Works now"(maybe 10-20%).

The best experience I have had was the Queensland system. The QR codes I saw were different than explained at the end of this article. They were small (Original NSW size) but very simple codes. From the look and the number below, I assumed it was just a 6 digit number. Those would scan very fast (as in while I was still moving the phone at speed to align with the QR code).

In NZ the behaviour is: stop, aim, scan, wait, done. But in Queensland it worked so well I could just keep walking, wave my phone in the direction of the barcode and it would catch it.

Anyway, I just found those experiences very interesting, maybe others will too :)

what counts as "heavy turnover"? I vaguely rememberthat the average tenure at a company is 1-2 years, which translates into an yearly turnover of 50-100%?

> we don't have any money for that

They always have the money. They just don't care about doing things properly. It simply isn't a priority for them.

Makes me feel good when someone comes and exploits their negligence. It's like divine retribution and they're doing god's work. They tempt fate and the gods punish them by making them pay more than they would have paid had they done things right. Amazing.
> Is it not possible to create a good cryptographic hashing algorithm that results in 128bit or 160bit hash?

No, it is provably not possible to do that. A N-bit hash function has maximum N/2-bits of collision resistance. So a 128-bit hash function (like MD5) has a maximum of 2^64 bits of security against a classical attacker, even if it wasn't broken in other ways (as MD5 is). A 160-bit hash function like SHA-1 would have 2^80 bits of security against collision attacks on a classical computer.

Both MD5 and SHA-1 are broken in other ways, but you could for example use SHA-2 or SHA-3 in truncated mode if you wanted a "secure" 128-bit or 160-bit hash output. Indeed there are standard operating modes for doing so, meant for when you need a drop-in replacement for MD5 or SHA-1.

But fundamentally, 64-bit or 80-bit security is too low for any except some highly specified use cases. And even then the extra bits of a stronger hash will rarely kill you, so why bother? Just use SHA-2 or SHA-3 and not worry about it.

In cases where you can demonstrate that you only care about preimage resistance and not collision resistance, then a 128-bit hash would be sufficient. However often collision attacks crop in in unexpected places or when your protocol is used in ways you didn't design for. Better to just double the hash size and not worry about it.
Yea, it's disparaged constantly for no good reason and if you know about crypto you are a God and everyone else is shit.
The JavaScript namespacing example is wonky:

export default {
email: "alice@example.com",
login: function () { ... }
};

By writing `export`, you’re showing you’re using modules; modules are namespacing, and this file potentially named currentUser.js can contain this instead:

export let email = "alice@example.com";
export function login() { ... }

That’s pure namespacing. And yes, export bindings are live, so you can use that like this (though you’re likely to surprise some people—but then, the whole style of the code was dubious in many languages anyway):

import { email, login } from "./currentUser.js";
email = "bob@example.com";
login();

Back to the original example: speaking generally, `export default { … }` is a code smell that should normally be replaced with precise exports, which generally make life easier for tooling and consequently for humans. (As a consumer, the precise exports version requires only changing `import currentUser from "./currentUser.js"` to `import * as currentUser from "./currentUser.js"` in such cases.) Seeing so often such abuse of the default export, I have mused whether perhaps it was a misfeature, an injudicious appeasement and compatibility measure for older patterns.
I wondered why these things were so expensive until I read:

One way to solve the problem, is to put a counter in front of all the merchandise, make everyone use a shopping cart in the app as they walk around the store, allowing you to use your camera to snap images of products you want, or choose from a list, which the app checks and converts to real time inventory, and adds to your cart as needed. Then, check out and pay for it either online or at the counter, and pick up your items. Problem solved.
I disagree.

Looking at the broader context, it seems that the foundation simply considered the projects as "theirs" in some key ways, honestly thought the migration was best for the projects, and so opted for a mechanism that would be quick and easy for everyone. From that point of view, you could even argue that bothering busy maintainers to get them to approve some minor housekeeping was just a waste of time...especially if you believe - as the foundation seemed to - that this change was both helpful and properly the foundations responsibility and not the maintainers.

Obviously, that viewpoint was not shared by the maintainers! And, thankfully, the foundation has now repudiated it, but if you take their statements at face value, I see nothing strange about how they did it.
My own mom has it right now. It's a godawful disease but her choices are equally godawful and they are getting monotonically worse with her decline. Her brother got it too and died horribly. Her other brother became a health not late in life and did not succumb to dementia but rather died of natural causes around 90 a happy and content soul. So I guess in both instances here we are both anecdotal single data points. But I think we can agree this is a horrible disease.

Google's architecture isn't designed for individual developer productivity. It's a global optimisation. Google appears to value continual evolution of products, infrastructure and code, and the monorepo successfully achieves that.

In my experience the alternative tends to lead to divergence of codebases and products. We've all seen companies that have some great products counterbalanced with a long tail of products that behave completely differently, or are orphaned, or take decades to move to new infrastructure or integrate with other products.

Apparently it is quite hard to repeat the laser blast quickly, because the optical system heats up during a pulse causing the beams to deflect as the materials expand and contract due to temperature. The NIF design requires dozens of laser beams to align precisely on a very small pellet in the middle of a large cavity. If you fire it a second time before it completely cools down the beams will hit the pellet slightly off-center and you won't get the compression needed for efficient fusion.
Then they’d need to prove that they were actually infected with covid and recovered. Most European countries have a “recovered” classification of their green pass — it’s not only for those vaccinated. However, it’s probably much easier and quicker simply to get vaccinated than to show evidence you were infected with covid in the past, especially after antibodies have waned.

Surigao Strait is actually very similar to Tsushima in that in both cases the victorious forces "Crossed the T" of the attacking force and inflicted heavy casualties. Actually had nothing to do with communications; battle lines are advantageous so that your force can bring all of its guns to bear on the enemy without worrying about hitting friendly forces (as happened disastrously in the 1st naval battle of Guadalcanal).
