I seem to remember various huge warehouses and hotels being requisitioned by local governments and medical authorities for a projected mass surge in corona patients, which never materialized. These emergency triage centres sat empty and unused. It was somewhat embarrassing.

Yes, some places had temporary surges for which they were unable to cope, early in the pandemic. Wuhan, parts of Italy, New York, a few others. But it never happened in a systematic way. If hospitals truly believed that overcrowding were a looming threat, they would not be laying off nurses as they are in many American localities.
Worth posting just because it is still a fun watch:

If that's not what you are implying then what was the point of the comment in the first place?
That might be OK. If people are not on a business or enterprise plan then is it safe to assume they are not hosting anything critical or revenue generating? Or if they are, is it safe to assume they are not a publicly traded company?
"In Australia the rationale for a Vaccine Passport is because the unvaccinated are super spreaders."

That's definitely not the primary, or only reason. In many states, hospitals are severely underfunded and aren't ready for the influx of patients. Stop trying to make it sound like a vaccine passport has no rationale, not to mention, trivialize the amount of freedom Australians have had during the pandemic, compared to other counties.
So, a robust carbon tax.
You're implying some hypocrisy that I haven't seen. Who is the other person/organization that violated the license of open source code but got off without criticism?

Even huge tech companies obey the licenses of the open source software they use. Every proprietary tool I use has a long list of code used with the required preamble for each even if it's the same one, licenses (mostly MIT and similar), and where to find it.
This isn't how things work - you pay income taxes on RSUs when they vest, not when you sell, and their cost basis is the price at the time of vesting. So it's entirely irrelevant from a tax perspective whether they come in cash or stock. If you want cash, you can sell the stock and if you want stock, you can buy - the tax consequences are exactly the same.
Indeed, out of all the trillions of HTTP requests that are communicated every day how many get read by a human. Not a lot, yet that's the use-case it's optimised for.

Those on the cloud should compute how much HTTP headers count towards their traffic egress bill.

Everyone is fine with human-readable as long as it's in English.

Binary should be the default. If writing a binary to human decoder is too much for you, you're in the wrong job.

Isn't this what we already do? We don't really understand how brains work, how what we call knowledge is stored, processed, and pruned. Psychology is a lot more immature than ML. Basically we hope that brains work well enough to define for us what "knowledge" means.
I bought into the hype and used to think about social media the same way as you. Then I came across a comment on HN mentioning Geek Heresy (https://geekheresy.org) and got that book from our public library. It has strong arguments against everything you have written above.
True, but there definitely is a fiduciary duty, and shareholder derivative lawsuits for breach of that duty are definitely a thing. They are usually substantiated by irresponsible decisions producing low returns. The analysis is complicated, but in the end, the more poorly the company you are managing performs due to your deliberate decisions, the more likely you are to elicit a shareholder derivative suit. Generally speaking, the best way to keep your shareholders happy is to make them money. In my view, this is as it should be. I’d rather executives in public companies not use my money to pursue their own personal moral crusades. They can use their own money to do that. As can I.
Can you explain what is radical and divisive about the legislation?

Negotiating drug prices is bad? Asking corporations (that are making record profits) pay their fair share of taxes is radical? Two years of free community college is divisive? Including dental, vision in medicare is bad?

Can you point out and explain what parts of the bill is divisive and bad? And why?

And please don't say the amount is too high. 3.5T is over 10 years, the US govt spends 750B on military, in a single year.
Is there any comparison in terms of performance between this implementation and SWI-Prolog?

A vaccine that was proven to be reasonably effective and with minor side effects in only one year? It's the result of several decades of innovation.

We still hear about DDoS attacks like this once in a while but it seems it's not anywhere near as common as it used to be. What happened? It looks like the bad guys are really having more and more trouble mounting succesful DDoS: how comes? It also looks like, in despair, they're targetting smaller fishes. Why? Smaller botnets? Cloudflare and OVH and the likes just being too good at absorbing everything and anything you can throw at them? Simple firewall rules getting rid of 99% of the crap? What's the reason it's not as prevalent as it used to be?
On the first point, you only need to include a summary of the resource for notification purposes. The idea is that the user still visits the site to consume the actual content

I am not sure what you mean with the second point, the timing of updates is under the full control of the content creator no?

The third point is quite relevant. Some sites ask that you subscribe to get updates (via email). Obviously they want to have better visibility of their audience rather than have a large set of passive (lurkers). That is a legitimate choice.
Wow, so many chuds in this thread. I for one love vax misinformation, it is a good way to get rid of a mentally defective portion of the population.
The issue with this is often there are reasons a person/manufacturer are more or less liked than others. Sometimes those reasons even matter.
I shrunk down the interactive (with server-side or external functionality, like third-party comment-boxes) features my sites a lot because of being worried about GDPR, basically killing a small community and having a direct negative effect on users. The overhead/worry is real, even if as a consumer I'm a big fan of it. The toolchain/conventions may eventually catch up so that things are GDPR-compliant by default, but the downsides are still very palpable.

[ And even with all of those cutbacks, I'm still not really compliant on all my sites... (legacy software/not knowing what exactly my data server is logging/etc.) ]

But, as a direct answer to your question: I don't think many things in principle are impossible with the current privacy laws. But that doesn't mean it's not having a chilling effect.

This makes a lot of sense to me. I live in the Mojave Desert at about 3,000’ above sea level. The fall and spring transitions pose this exact risk. Today, for example, I’m looking at high of 80F but overnight we dropped to 39F and our humidity is hovering around 15%. Everyone jokes about it being a dry heat on those 120F days, but I’ll tell you what - dry cold is painfully colder than I could imagine and at much higher temperatures. Growing up in Massachusetts it was cold and humid and completely different. Here you can feel the heat pulling off you at 45F and it will feel sub-freezing. It’s weird to both need to keep water, so I don’t die of dehydration in heat, and a coat, so I don’t freeze to death, in the car at the same time. The desert doesn’t offer margin for error.
Elixir was a joy to write applications in. OTP provides the most seamless graduation from single-threaded to concurrent to distributed application that I've seen in any language. The abstractions are built the way they are because they facilitate this process. Additionally using apps as building blocks matches exactly how I think about systems.

The only things I didn't like:

* Message queues are fundamental to the abstractions. If you need to avoid queuing for whatever reason then you need to think harder

* Leaving the Erlang ecosystem (e.g. shelling out) always felt painful. Integrating with Kubernetes was painful. OTP has its own ways of doing everything and they are often counter to general best practices (e.g. doing hot releases instead of rolling new containers)

* I never figured out how to do multi-node systems correctly. One of the neat things about OTP is that you can migrate processes between nodes that are connected in a mesh network. The documentation is really light on how to do this. Along those lines, more advanced multi-node setups exist but feel like they are at the fringes of what has been done with OTP so you need to invest a lot of time if your application can't handle a mesh setup

The only language that comes close to Elixir for me is Rust. I haven't done much with Rust however the out-of-the-box tooling is really great for it. I'm doubtful that distributed applications are as easy to write in Rust as they are in Elixir though

I tried to sell a company I was working at (they were doing real-time bidding) on Elixir. It's a shame they didn't go with it (they went with Java instead). It's really easy to build those types of apps in Elixir. Likewise I'm somewhat surprised Elixir hasn't taken off with teams who want microservices.

One of the concerns I always have about things I love is that they'll work but eventually disappear. Is there a way to donate/pay/tier for this? I assume it comes at non-zero cost to you in terms of time bandwidth hosting etc.
Lyrics about the pandemic being planned. And this is a "free speech" cause célèbre now? It's trash, and it is toxic trash during a crisis that has at every turn exceeded the dangerousness that sober, informed people has said about it. Throttling the stupidity is itself a form of speech that needs to be defended.
Working more always leads to more work. From my personal experiments on work time schedule over 6 months periods, I know now that at least for me, if I know already what needs to be done then I'm super efficient even working 10+ hours, but if I'm doing some research or planning things then around 4 hours per day is bringing a lot more efficiency.
The difference between 85% and 90% is 50% -- ie at 85% there are 1.5x as many unvaccinated people cf 90%.
No, it's only ok for Kirk to do it.
I've always found value in at least scanning some articles and books for general overview of what is possible. Many dev get to a point where they learn a method and abuse it. It's the method they know and have never been exposed to an alternative. They found something that solves the problem sorta so why go look for something else.

While reading a lot of articles and books gives you a wider view, you don't have to memorize but as the article says, know it exists.
Yes. This is why I live in a place where housing costs are so low that surface area doesn't matter. On 12 acres of land.

Given the cost of marriage and divorce, it makes far more sense to live alone. I've been married twice and I learn this the hard way - twice too many times!

Additionally, the simple fact that is that woman are responsible for 80% of budget decisions which tend NOT be be things men would buy, so if you are a single man, NOT pairing off sudden save/raises your income by 5x if you don't marry.
Without growth, the only way to get promoted is to get a spot of some higher-up who left the company (or retired/died). Whereas, in growing companies, there are new senior/management positions created all the time, to account for the growth - so, getting promoted is easier.

Ambitious, hard working people like promotions, so they gravitate towards growing companies and not stale companies.

Not to completely disregard your point but its not the same. After seeing a few brain bits splattered across windows and chairs/dashboards, stray limbs...road accidents are in another lesgue entirely. We sort of need accidents to happen so that regulation of technology will use blood as ink/toner.
> Add another ~ 40 ms that seems to be eaten up by my local computer and wired home network.

Maybe you have a weak computer? Having 40ms being eaten up by your local network would be absolutely bananas, the latency should be closer to 1-3ms if not lower. If I ping 8.8.4.4 it's not until the switch outside the city I live in that the latency comes up to above 10ms, so something sounds wrong/broken in your setup if it's really your local LAN having 40ms latency.

I don't get these realtime collaborative streaming services.

Streaming at home via wifi is already crappy, how should this ever work with more distance?
I don't get that, of course it's not functional code in the same way it could be with Haskell or some other functional language, but the main benefits and the way of thinking can be done with JS, and its a much better part of JS than the prototypal inheritance with class sugar syntax part.

The main point of fuctional paradigm in engineering is composition over inheritance. Hooks give us that, and a way to escape classes (and people who really want to write JS like Java).
I haven't done a great deal of React, but having inherited a codebase with both class components and hooks sprinkled through, the class components are better organized if the component actually does anything useful.

Hooks seem to be fine for dumb little UI bits that you'd use directives for in AngularJS.

In regards to fail2ban, assuming the attack was purely SMTP specific which it won't be even then blocking IP's would be futile. The DDoS-as-a-service farms have hundreds of thousands to millions of IP's under their control. Block one IP and ten more show up. One IP is not one attacker. Those farms have probes that can tell how effective their attack is. Some of them even have "proven work" that is reported back to the buyer to validate the effectiveness of their attack. You may want to research this one as it is a very big topic.

In reality however, a large portion of the attack won't even show up in logs. The attack will also contain depending on how much the attacker is willing to spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions of packets per second of TCP, UDP packets on random ports, no ports, random protocols, random sizes, random TTL's, random headers. That is a volumetric attack. Fail2ban and most network IDS/IDP's would not even see this attack. It would saturate the uplinks to the ISP before you even see anything. Your ISP will most likely null route you and encourage you to stop advertising your AS number.

In reference to scrubbing centers for individuals, that is not a thing unless you have unlimited funds. There are some VPS providers that can scrub tiny attacks. Linode, Vultr, OVH to name a few but they can only deal with tiny attacks. If you want to research this for your business, my suggestion would be to get on the NANOG mailing lists and discuss it with all the network engineers to find out which scrubbing services are currently most effective. This is a moving target and a very big investment. I am not a fan of any of the companies that provide these services, but that is only based on my limited experiences with them.

I still see plenty of small companies operating online in the country I live in. GDPR isn't particularly hard or expensive to follow if you are small and barely have any data, especially if you build your system to be GDPR compliant from the start. The expensive part comes when you are already large and have to make that large system GDPR compliant after it is already built.
A positive feedback loop in this instance means more and more of something happening, and is being reinforced in every iteration.

In control theory, the language of positive/negative in feedback loops usually means growth/diminution rather than good/bad.

It’s seemingly counter to common intuition but as a former control theorist I immediately recognized this language in the context of feedback loops.
Development is never free, but this seems to be driven by a P2P protocol so hosting/bandwidth costs should be close to zero (maybe signalling server is hosted by creator but should be relatively cheap to host). I agree that donation would be nice, but won't prevent it from disappearing. Only solution I can think of to completely make it unable to disappear would be to open source the code base, either now or having a guarantee that the code base would be open sourced if the author looses interest.
In SAT you are using propositional logic (“0th order” logic), whereas in prolog normally* you use predicate logic (1st order logic) so you can use existential and universal quentifiers, use variables, etc.

* There’s also lambda prolog which enables higher order logic (set logic).

> You can't verify that a particular ballot was ever cast, only that you have it now. You also can't verify that a ballot that was genuinely cast was cast by the same person listed on the voter roll.

There’s only one part of this which isn’t wrong. You can verify that the ballots were given to registered voters at a particular polling station where they were sealed, transported securely, and tallied without the seals being broken – these days, all with video surveillance except for the actual person filling out the ballot. The current system does that with a mix of bipartisan volunteers and government workers, making it hard to tamper with unless you have a truly massive conspiracy which manages to avoid revealing any trace of its existence.

The only thing you can’t do is say that person A voted for candidate B, because that would guarantee attempts at coercion.
