That's not what the article says:

In addition, Google will no longer run any advertising that "contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change."
It's supposed to be the technology of the future that everyone uses. It's not supposed to be like direct methods in crystallography, which are understood by a dozen people, of which half are over 50 years old.
In addition, the NodeJS cold start time can be further optimized by bundling into a single file artifact to reduce the amount of disk IO needed when requiring dependencies. Webpack, Parcel, ESBuild, and other bundlers could achieve that, I'm sure.

EDIT: That may already be happening here in the build.sh file. I see it runs `sam build --use-container NodeJsFunction -b nodejs`.
Can't.

One famous argument about why SV was special is that its because California judges utterly despise non-competes and non-competes-alike. I believe they're at least, in some form, unenforcable.
I've been leaning more and more away from a global internet and back to regional EU only internet.

EU & US & every other region in the world are different.

As it stands, the global internet is dominated by US cultures & laws.

I think the internet as it stands inhibits Europeans forging their own path.

Can't blame that on the CDC's pandemic response either. Scientists take money to put out fake studies for dangerous products, medical journals publish absolute trash for cash, doctors take bribes from phrama companies, phamra companies bury evidence that their products are killing people and push for more sales, the FDA bypasses it's own process to push out new dangerous drugs as regulatory capture weakens what little oversight exists, and nobody is being held meaningfully accountable for any of it.

If our entire goal was to erode the trust of the American people in science and medicine we couldn't have done a better job. We lost the game before the pandemic and haven't done a thing to turn that around. The sackler family pays a fraction of their profits and get immunity forever. Stella Immanuel still has a medical license. Corporations continue to put profit over human lives and can poison whole populations with no risk of prison time. It doesn't bode well for the future.
I would count myself part of this statistic and I imagine there are quite of few folks here that would agree with me.

I left for SF to help further advance my career and I am incredibly thankful for the city and its people for getting me from a lowly help desk to now a systems engineer (making way towards SRE soon).

The city, however, is still incredibly hostile to new people who haven't bought a house or found generational success and I can't ever see myself raising a family in this area (even though I would love to).

Public transportation is still terrible (needles, human feces, etc) and the police/lawmakers have declared their intent to never enforce laws. How often do you see people jumping over the turnstiles in the BART stations?
I see you have changed your tactics. Just call it bad instead of trying to attack it ideologically because you know it won’t stick.

You’re as dishonest as always. And you know very well that if Daphne was bullied to death by any other than her own “tribe” cnn and yourself would call it “lynching”, but here you objecting to it. Hilarious, as I said, dishonest as ever.

It should normally be "bis" and "ter".

The Latin for "once, twice, thrice, four times, five times" is "semel, bis, ter, quater, quinquies". ("Bis" and "ter" are the only really short ones.)

It's moderately common in European standards and bureaucracy to use "bis" and "ter" for "version/revision 2" and "version/revision 3", respectively. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ITU-T_V-series_recomme...

No, it's not. There's no need for hyperbole.

The idea that a blockchain with thousands of nodes requires redemption from some historical act seems to ignore the very nature of how it functions at a protocol level. Ethereum exists as a collection of nodes who choose to participate using certain clients, not a computer in Vitalik's closet.

Credibility is the fact that Ethereum has succeeded with sufficient immutability since The DAO hack to convince billions of dollars of transactions for various use cases. Proof is in the pudding.
Of course, all wars are "really" fought over dominance disputes between elites, but arranging to remain elites while they're disputing is no easy feat, so such simple equivalences gloss over enormously significant details. For example, Hoover didn't hold a candle to Beria, the US prison system didn't hold a candle to GULAG until the 01990s, and, despite his best efforts, Joe McCarthy's jihad against domestic dissent didn't hold a candle to Khrushchev's, much less Stalin's.
See my reply to the siblings comment with the working c++ example. The call to the effect function is not a tail call: the effect function will eventually resume its caller, providing the next continuation to call. Definitely there is no colored function problem. So you will be able to yield from a for loop just fine.

As far as I understand effects are similar to delimited continuations in the way the effect handler is found via dynamic scoping, but in addition there is an extension to the type system to guarantee that at least one effect handler of the correct type handler is in place.

So I'm wondering if it wouldn't it be better, or at least equivalent , to simply pass the continuation around (i.e with lexical scope) as a first class value and attach the effect type to it, obviating the need for an ad hoc type system extension.

I'm must be missing something and there must be some use cases that can't be easily expressed this way.
No you are not a cynic. But this regimen could be relabeled “good living”. Amazing number of words to get to the actual interventions.

This seems to be a popular sticking point in the NFT crowd, but it's never really been made clear to me. There seem to be oodles of duplicate NFTs out there (much less ones based on stolen art), so why can't I just make another?

In my "my_operatornotify" file, which isn't published, I did test a batching mechanism that used a background thread to wait 60 seconds before sending the email, in case more with the same subject line came along. It worked but I decided to stop using it. Most of my programs send their complete logs after they finish, only the long-running daemon programs send individual warning emails right away. I got a laugh out of the YCDL explosion and fixed the issue, for now anyway.

Thanks for the comments!
How do you make money off of them if you give them a pass? I haven't seen any science at all that indicates vaccines are better than natural immunity. But beware saying that outloud. Other countries acknowledge this and treat natural immunity similar to being vaccinated, but the US will not due to economic interests.

I challenge anyone to show data otherwise before they reflexively down vote.
The one time I was in a noticeable earthquake in California, this is what happened: all the dogs in the neighborhood started barking at the same time. a couple seconds later, all the car alarms went off. a couple seconds after that, there was a huge JOLT and then gentle decaying shaking.
Nice! I used to carry around a wireless router in my backpack for the same reason, and made sure to surreptitiously plug it in at the back of every class. Similarly, the school had very restricted WiFi, but no restrictions on the wired network. Fun times.

Nice writeup!

On the scheme, I'm not sure `https` is needed, at least when scanning with the iphone camera. Parsing seems to be based on the TLD and potentially subdomains, e.g., `example.com` will parse as an address but lesser-known ccTLDs like `example.ws` will be parsed as text, which is interesting.

Ideally, one would set up SSL redirection, so dropping the `s` from `https` wouldn't be a sec issue, and have a naked domain so that the `www` CNAME isn't needed either. Checking their website, that seems to be the case, so they could potentially drop `https://www.` from the QR code

Just bc people don't agree that a surprisingly shitty rendition of a pixel alien is worth $140,000,000, that doesn't mean they "don't understand NFTs", it just means their bullshit detector actually works.
That’s the usually what comedians actually are. It’s funny your sarcasm was factual.
I agree. it's kind of unavoidable, but I took care to only grab a little extra over a long period, and hopefully if people do the same then the next time there's a problem in supply they won't have the sudden pressure to buy up everything available and the jerks who buy up pallets and fill the backs of pickup trucks will be stuck again with product they can't move.
Right but a bunch of nobodies on HN actively disparage the entire sector for whatever reason, which requires a pretty deep knowledge that the average REST slinger doesn’t possess, so the market is tight for competent devs let alone top-tier.
There are evolutionary pressures on viruses that tend to weaken them over time. You get variants competing with each other and the more silent ones get advantages over the ones with worse outcomes.

It isn’t clear exactly what is going to happen, but as more people get vaccinated and natural immunity and the variants continue to evolve the situation might change a lot or become unnoticeable.

I would love to see an epidemic expert comment on the long term evolutionary effects of different mitigation strategies which might differ in preferences than short term trying to reduce number of infections.
Shear force seems likely a problem now that you mention it. Most cool, thanks.
> is a direct function of the distance water droplets of an arbitrary threshold size travel from a simulated sneeze. Which, of course, is so obviously true it needs no supporting evidence.

Except it turned out to be false, the primary mode of transmission for sars-cov-2 is aerosols that can spread throughout a room (hence the need for good ventilation), not droplets that quickly fall to the ground (which was what social distancing and masking was predicated on).
> I can’t help but imagine whether Google Cloud’s low market share is related to this. If the internal culture is that clients must act multiple times a month to deal with impending breaking migrations, at least some of that attitude likely falls on external customers.

Not GCP, but Google runs some of its open source projects like this. I've been burnt by breaking Guava and Java Protobuf changes multiple times. Especially with Guava, I strongly recommend that library developers avoid it.

That would create a perverse incentive to get infected to avoid the vaccine. The whole reason we want people to get vaccinated is to reduce the burden that infections cause on our health care system.

> The vision already exists. Assets on ArtBlocks for example are hosted on the chain itself, and several sites exist to display, facilitate, organize, etc the tokens. Similar things are happening off-chain (see Hicetnunc) with ipfs.

How does pricing compare to the existing options? On-chain hosting already limits you to public works, which many people are not going to be comfortable with, but this usually comes down to cost and reliability.

> Ownership in the context of NFT is not about ownership of the artistic intellectual property.

I'm aware but that's not how most of the marketing sounds and it also gets into the question of value. If an NFT doesn't convey real rights and requires paying more for hosting (which is also separate in the case of almost all NFTs currently), the ceiling for long-term value is pretty low.
Except that other are not “more probable.” The probability of any horizontal four square feet getting hit by a meteorite is the same.
blockchain "baseball cards" is the best quick description I have for NFTs.

It makes less sense than that to me though. Isn't an NFT just, within a specific blockchain, claiming to 'own' or control a bit of datastream? Like a photo, or video, or object model. Except this isn't even insanity normally practiced like copyright or patents; you don't get any of those artificial 'land grab' rights. Just your name attached to the thing within that blockchain?
Ah yes, every single one of them. And none of the people in any other country.
Huh come to think of it, banning the sale of masks would have been the most brilliant strategy to get people wearing masks.

Imagine if instead of putting out a press release, they had quietly banned selling masks by retailers and then 3 days later when people caught wind of it explained the shortage mean they were only for hospital workers.

All the anti government reactionaries that are now anti-maskers would be the most ardent mask wearers.

And you'd think they'd separate major versions by package so they can coexist (a la commons lang), and you can just pin each major to the latest. Nope. Breaking changes across minor versions.
Definitely video codecs, at least:

Flash Video FLV files usually contain material encoded with codecs following the Sorenson Spark or VP6 video compression formats. As of 2010 public releases of Flash Player (collaboration between Adobe Systems and MainConcept) also support H.264 video and HE-AAC audio.[3] All of these compression formats are restricted by patents. - Wikipedia’s page on FLV, the video format that YouTube was built around.
I’ve been pro-nuclear for the past 20+ years and have echoed the same arguments and sentiments expressed here. However, I’ve started to waver.

Is it naive idealism to expect a future where nuclear technology won’t be weaponized? We have to maintain global peace for thousands of years without a large-scale war. It’s incredibly unlikely given that scale of time that global peace will be continuously maintained.
Thank you so much for that, I miss it terribly but understand that it wasn't worth the effort. It was beautiful while it lasted. (and this map is super cool too)
> Are you talking about scaling up neural networks, which is more in the context of the conversation, but requires some very big assumptions about (artificial) neural networks?

Yes. But note that under the rubric of "deep neural networks" or "deep learning," I would include a lot of things, including combinations of methods like "deep reinforcement learning," learning by self-play via gradual evolution of surviving models, models that use "dense associative memories," of which transformers are only one special case, and future deep learning methods that have not yet been discovered.

And yes, some very big assumptions are required!

FWIW, your comments did not come across as standoffish to me :-)
Not really. Sounds like this was class of '08, and at the time BackTrack would have been readily available and popular enough for a curious highschooler with a bit of computing background to find. As I recall etercap was built in and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were tutorials for setting up scenarios almost exactly like what is described.

Even the ARP balancing thing is the kind of too-clever-by-a-half solution a naive youngin' would come up with since it would lead all the nodes thinking each other are the gateway and crushing the network with routing loops.
I don’t think either word has a particularly strong definition behind it in this context. Happens a lot in science, some words have very strong very specific meanings in scientific contexts… others not much at all.
Place to Get New Ideas for Your Blogs
If the objection is to hidden state and behavior that can't be entirely predicted from the outside by inspection of public properties it feels to me like your objection is less about OOP and more about abstractions in general. I'm sure you've thought about this already and have strong opinions here, so please read this as me engaging in a conversation rather than me trying to lecture.

The value of abstractions is the consumer doesn't need to understand the mechanism inside the abstraction, and the downside of abstractions is the consumer doesn't get to understand the mechanism inside the abstraction.

If one always expects to be able to see through the veil, I think one is in effect saying I won't allow abstractions. That's powerful when the size of the system is such that it can be understood in its entirety, but it's punishing when the size is orders of magnitude larger than can be understood completely without abstractions by one person.

Actors, at least from my experience, are a helpful way to merge the abstractions of OOP and Services, but by default they are not intended to rid systems of abstractions.
Would it have needed leader election though? It's a stateless system. It might have been enough to ignore spoofed ARP replies, or to not attack machines of its own kind.
Yup, you can still do that. AutoHotkey is a wonderful tool for this. You can intercept input events globally, and transform them or send completely different events to the target app.

For example, I use AutoHotkey to implement my JKLmouse program, which turns certain keyboard events into mouse movement for precise control. It's similar to the MouseKeys that comes with Windows, but made for laptop keyboards without numeric keypads.

And yes, you could definitely do that Minesweeper hack in AutoHotkey! :-)

I am not sure if going to e.g. Amazon or Walmart would have worked. If this is timed incorrectly it is easy to cause needless mob hoarding -- see toilet paper de-buckle...

That said yes blatant misinformation backfired royally. I recall at the point already people were calling bullshit and ignoring the "do not need masks" guideline.

This did not happen only in the U.S. or just due to the masks. E.g. the handling of Astrazeneca and other vaccination complications have instilled fear and also a sense of mistrust.

I think there would be a few people not wearing masks or not vaccinated but the percentage would be much lower -- low enough that we can progress forward. The moment masks and vaccinations became a political tool in the U.S. and there was no political solidarity it was game over. Couple that with lying and can you really blame people not trusting the government?
Not sure if there's overshoot, but seems like it's trying to shift from:

A car hit a cyclist/pedestrian

to:

A person driving a car struck (with the car) a person who was [on a bicycle]/walking.

The issue is, "hit by a car" moves the focus away from what the person driving the car was/was not doing at the time.
