Renewables are the fastest growing energy source. This doesn’t “fix” aging developed countries (which, arguably, doesn’t need a fix but is a macro environment to be managed) but enables developing countries to industrialize cleanly.
One of the things kicking around the back of my brain is that we won't have forgotten this stuff 200 years from now, because it happened within living memory of people who were around during the rise of effectively infinite digital storage and searching. We remember a lot more than you suggest from the 17th-19th centuries, and the recorder is functionally "clicked on" from about 1900 forward; that's only ramped up.

You see this a lot with music services, and with the way that availability has shaped musical tastes in younger folks. It isn't uncommon to have people who are much older than me really into modern pop, and it isn't uncommon to have people who are much younger than me listening enthusiastically to stuff made twenty years before they were born. Obviously both sets of people existed before Spotify etc. - but now anybody can be those people without effort, and it has created an effect where older stuff is never really ejected from the mental map of "music listeners". You can, if you listen and have a breadth of understanding, know when a piece of music was written in the last ~30 years or so, but there's a leveling effect where it's all just part of the library now.

Barring significant events(tm), we aren't going to forget much of anything going forward. It's just going to be a question of who was driven, either intentionally or by accident, to trawl the right archives.
Ironic because a lot of left leaning US folk think it is a utopia.

I think the culture around employment contracts preventing people from quiting when they want, penalty free, and the letter of recommendation requirements from a previous employer are insane. Seems like you would really have to go above and beyond to not get screwed on your next job by a bitter ex employer.

Also find the gov owning large shares in the private sector (Volvo.. Ect) to be a conflict of interest and may encourage them to bypass emissions laws for example.

Just seems like a lot of institutional trust.

I use it, and it's great that I can install extensions like uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere on it. Some other extensions don't work like a useragent spoofer, which I badly need since the useragent of Firefox on Android is unique and I want to blend in. Also not being able to turn on `resistFingerprinting:true` in about:config is annoying, since you can't access about:config in the Firefox Android browser.

Other than that it's great. I have set the browser to wipe history, cache & cookies every-time I press 'Quit', which stops cookies tracking you as you browse, which is an excellent feature, similar to how Firefox Focus nukes everything when you close the app.
> Requiring employees to be vaccinated as a condition to accepting Medicare seems pretty reasonable to me.

That's just a backdoor for giving more power to the federal branch. Its like 'interstate commerce' where anything that has interstate implications (pretty much everything) can be influenced by the federal government. What if an anti-abortion president elected someone to this board and told them that no health care provider that accepts medicare or medicaid can offer abortions?

I don't see mandating people to get a vaccine that they don't want as non-political bureaucratic action, especially considering its coming from the president's office. It's mandating a medical treatment. Take a step back and ask under what authority and supervision should we require a government to be mandating a medical treatment.
They key is "flow controlled". Syncronicity doesn't really enter into it, but I can see how people can get confused and think it's about that because asynchronous designs tend to introduce a greater degree of decoupling.
> You can agree that its within the federal authority to mandate vaccines, but it really should be a decision made and explicitly endorsed by elected representatives rather than some agency

I'm from a country (UK) where parliament has absolute power, but also where the populace largely trusts the civil service. Health decisions, prosecution decisions, and so on are explicitly devolved from the government so that they don't become politicized. To me, that seems better, rather than asking politicians to intercede in what should essentially be decisions for experts to make.
> Why is that a problem?

Because they're boiling the frog. It doesn't stop at reporting. And it doesn't stop at 10k€. And it often does not get inflation-adjusted, so the real limit keeps getting lower too even without regulatory changes.

> So, knowing how much tax money the taxpayers are loosing every year thanks to cash driven tax fraud

I assume the bulk of tax fraud happen by corporations cooking their books, using legal loopholes and writing their own legislation, not by average citizens paying a car in cash.
If it were about tax fraud they would have set the limit once, decades ago, and kept increasing it with inflation, not the opposite. Organized crime isn't something novel after all. So this reeks like a post-rationalization for more surveillance.

Also, tax reporting is the duty of the merchant for most transactions, private citizens shouldn't have their privacy voided just because others evade taxes. Instead make it mandatory to provide bills (with audit logs) and prosecute customers after tax fraud has been uncovered if they knowingly benefited from the tax fraud (e.g. by waiving the billing). Create bounties for people reporting billing evasion. I believe something like that has been implemented in greece. Search for privacy-compatible solutions instead of proclaiming that taxes and privacy cannot coexist.
I recall seeing similar predictions of terrible security vulnerabilities with the WebGL APIs, but AFAIK we never saw real-world attacks here (other than fingerprinting). Much like JIT or video, it does increase the attack surface significantly and you should turn it off if you’re very security conscious… but it’s not apocalyptic for most users.

The actual article could've been some user's sandbox page or something. If a page is a sandbox (not complete), there shouldn't be redirects to it. When the page is complete enough, then it can be moved to the main namespace.

On the other hand, it is how computer security often does work. I can't count the number of times I've had to go through a listing of false-positive flags from some braindead OWASP checklist penetration/vulnerability tester.
After having read the article, I concur that it does not warrant such a prominent place. There's a paragraph dedicated to his views on Jews, and they're not particularly antisemitic, and it certainly doesn't seem to be a feature of the core of his thinking, merely a (convenient?) derivative of it. Mentioning his rejection of values he associated with Jews in the second paragraph would have been more consistent. There's more in that introduction that shouldn't be there, e.g. the phrase about admiring Himmler.

If that's proof of bias is another matter.
Except that the role of the CMS, as established by congress, is to set the guidelines of care and standards of participation for providers who opt to accept Medicare and Medicaid patients.

They set rules for everything from how many hospitals can be owned by a single entity, to what sorts of qualifications are required for hospital administrators, to what types of medical orders are allowed to be given to patients. Their explicit charter is to ensure Medicare and medicaid patients are cared for and their health is looked after. From that lens, requiring a vaccination that reduces the likelihood that one of those patients is infected with a potentially deadly disease (particularly deadly for those on Medicare, given the demo), is eminently reasonable.

And the administrator is confirmed by congress. If this regulation was about almost anything else, this would be a nothingburger

I’ve been using Mark Lauren’s material for a few years. He has a few books with exercises and progressions - You Are Your Own Gym, Strong and Lean, Body by You.

There’s also a subscription video service which I’ve gotten a ton of value out of, Mark Lauren on Demand, which has a bunch of exercise programs from beginner to advanced. I think it’s $9/month. All bodyweight stuff, and most exercises don’t require any equipment (a few need stuff like a pull-up bar, or a bench/table). They’ve been releasing new material regularly, most recently a program based on short 10-20min workouts. I like the balance of strength and mobility/flexibility work.

Too bad. I had always wanted to visit Australia. Would never consider it again.
The 7 years war was just that, a war over territories - as such, it's fundamentally forgotten. The French Revolution, on the other hand, was a cultural upheaval that affected society everywhere, so it's still mentioned. Obviously the British have an interest in downplaying it, like the Irish famine, but still it cannot be ignored.
If people find out that they lied, they might become cynical to appeal banners altogether. There are other community projects that deserve the money more than Wikipedia - such as the Internet Archive, or the local food bank. Now they won't get the money, because people have become desensitized.

IMO, cash is the wrong thing to stockpile anyway. They are big enough to benefit from a financial advisor, and with the right portfolio mix, they could both safeguard existing cash and assure a steady income stream so they don't need the donations in the first place.
> And I see these people using Microsoft Office everywhere

This can only stop when various polities adopt Linux (like in Germany where some region is switching to Linux). This means they have to be well versed in LibreOffice, which is decent enough, although I am hearing reports that it has rendering flaws for .DOCX documents, so it's not a silver bullet.
That sounded like a joke :)

> Would you consider wax and vaseline as "health risks? Or mineral oil?

I would consider anything we didn't have in our environment until very recently a health risk, simply because it's a form of "testing previously untested inputs in production"

Edit: To be clear, in the context of evolution, I would eyeball "very recently" at about 100,000 years.
For example though it's often said in the UK that if the US Democratic party were over here they'd be seen as right of centre — the Overton window is very localised.
Any perspective on the best TLDs for startups?

.com is obviously the preferred choice, but from my perspective these are the next best picks:

- .io for B2B, SAAS, etc. startups. Occasionally makes sense for B2C (itch.io, etc.) Seems to be falling out of fashion, though.

- .ai is the top choice for ML-based startups. These are really hot now.

- .dev for the occasional SAAS or library. Doesn't make sense B2C.

- .app if you're linking to a mobile app or have a SPA-like functionality. Not super popular, though.

AFAIK, the other TLDs seem like spam/noise. That might just be personal perception and I could be totally wrong. Am I missing anything?

Letting data back up in unbounded queues means (a) you have giant ass queues sitting around hogging resources, (b) upstream components are now going to see service times go through the roof as shit sits around doing nothing in these queues, and (c) upstream clients have no way to predict/avoid these service time spikes due to queueing (vs. say, the operations just take a while) and prevents them making intelligent decisions about their own work which could avoid these service time spikes.

I've worked in the embedded space now for about a decade (network, storage, databases). Everywhere I've been where the product has no backpressure, the product inevitably suffers from the above issues, which translate directly into customer dissatisfaction. And it's never easy to add backpressure to a system which doesn't have it.

It's also not always an option to just "add more capacity" -- there are many situations where that's not possible, or requires time to enact. Meanwhile, your queues are growing without bound.

Build backpressure in from the start.

I was expressing the hope that the populist right could be steered away from its worst impulses, and that, if that could be done, it might be a better partner for getting certain kinds of policy enacted than Reagan Republicans would be.

But instead, that wing has been taken over by white ethnic stuff and culture war (like right populist parties in other countries), which makes that sort of alliance very difficult.

Big business would seem to be the beneficiary of this situation.

Though obviously yes, in the voting booth, "Republicans bad" is a sufficient level of nuance.
Yes, that is the marketing brochure pitch for microservices.

In the real world, poorly designed microservices make the ball of mud problem much, much worse, and whatever pain you had in deployments in a monolith are now magnified ten-fold. I have not been fortunate enough to see well-designed microservices, so I suspect the ball of mud is the default. Can this be rectified through discipline? Probably, but I haven't seen it.

Asynchronous? Doesn't save you, when an upstream service changes event definitions and emits events with unexpected structure, and a downstream service starts failing. Can this be rectified through Async OpenAPI and rigorous contract testing? Probably, but I haven't seen this happen in a way that helps.

I have seen large companies survive perfectly well on a monolithic ball of mud, and small companies get lost in a mud pit of microservices.

My point is not that microservices are bad, they're not, they're just a tool, but they are a tool that is a poor fit for most companies, in my opinion. I can't speak to the few giant companies that need them and use them effectively; there is a good reason the tool exists.
If you are going to compare countries with a billion inhabitants, like China, with ones that have 340 million, like the US, and with those that have only 50 million, say South Korea, you surely need to normalise the figures. Otherwise it's not really an apples to apples comparison. Perhaps population ratio isn't the right choice, any suggestions for another?
Sorry, but this is nonsense. Look at the chubby implementation and the subsequent paper - implementation and edge cases were the hard part, that took a lot of skill to get right. The algorithm is important, but labeling one as easy is far away from real world experiences.

I never assumed that PhD students can’t code. They can and they are pretty good at that. My point is that their incentives are in writing papers and running experiments that support claims in their papers, not produce reliable software. It might be reliable, but mostly it’s not. When we use tools build by PhD students, it’s usually when there are companies/startups built around it, and that is what I refer to as having skin in the game.

> Someone working two jobs to support a family has little free time for open source development

Yeah, so because of that they don't 'select' themselves to contribute to FOSS. If they don't have a PC, or can't program, likewise. I'm not responsible for any of that, as a FOSS maintainer, they turn up with patches in their hand, or they don't. If they don't, it's totally out of scope for me. With FOSS I don't even have a way to know such users exist.

If they want to contribute something, I can spend my time assisting that to happen, or not, that's the only button I can push.

> slave

I mean cares about race in the context of treating their patch differently because of it, this is the implication of the article. Maintainers are motivated to take in useful code.

If devs want to do that, they're not breaking any law. But a lot of contributors (eg, ones logging in on a work pc) would find it intolerable to the project's detriment. They'd lose me at tne word 'discord' anyway.

Hey! I enjoyed this post a lot. I agree with almost all your points raised except for single-team == no microservices. Your prose makes your points easy to understand.

I have a couple layout comments:

First, I love that you have a high contract text-to-background. That is really helpful for me. There was/is a trend to have light gray on white backgrounds for blogs; this is absolutely a terrible pattern. I appreciate that you did not go this route.

Second: serif fonts are difficult to read when the font size is relatively small. Something like Jura or similar could maintain the "terminal" feel without getting bogged down in serifs.

Third: I have a really hard time reading content when it uses smaller fonts and uses a minor fraction of the screen. This is what I see: https://imgur.com/a/NPCBkHJ -- I am getting older, and reading smaller fonts is increasingly difficult for me. I tend to keep my zoom at 150%, something about this page forced it back to 100%. I am not well versed in responsive design, so I don't know the technical details for it, but having zoom maintain or using a larger font would save some cognitive cost to older users like myself needing to zoom in.

Thanks for your thoughts on microservices!
