>Your registrar has to tell your TLD’s nameservers about the new nameservers for your domain (I don’t know exactly how long this takes or why it takes time, but it’s not instant!)

How does this process work? Do the registrars push to the TLDs? Or do the TLDs pull from the registrars? Is there some other protocol / infrastructure besides DNS for managing this kind of updates?
Chrome and Safari and Firefox in one browser
I need Chrome + Safari + Firefox centralized in one browser so that I can switch tab instead of screen, does it exist?
If not, I would be curious about knowing if this is technically possible
>> So, I would encourage everyone to run your own test and don't just go on other people's numbers.

> But I agree everyone should run their own benchmarks.

But they literally can't because the ToS forbids it.
Meh. The overwhelming majority of people consuming services like Nord VPN aren't doing it for privacy - that's just the 'safe' marketing schtick. People that subscribe to Nord and similar are doing it to avoid geoblocks.
My android garbage phone pauses media if Bluetooth goes away. The only thing that won't is a literal LTE/4g call, that goes to handset.
My favorite use of mayo is for toasting/frying bread for sandwiches. I had always used butter for that purpose but mayo works much better.
I'm a millenial, what is an identity condiment? I googled it and all I got were a bunch of opinion piece articles written within a few days of eachother in 2018 saying they're the new way millenials are bad.
"Town Crier" suggests by name that a town needed only one. And, maybe, tolerated only one.

I guess "gossip" was everybody's job, like textile production, so nobody's. According to ACOUP, all female members ("the distaff side") of almost all households spent any time not devoted to other tasks on spinning thread or yarn, albeit less so after the spinning jenny spread after 1200.
I'm late to the thread, but I'm really glad that Wikipedia is the kind of Libre project that's inspired so many people to make redesigns / mirrors of it. It's the way the web was meant to be.

As was mentioned in this discussion, it's also worth noting that mediawiki supports custom themes. Anyone else use an alternate wikipedia theme? I've been using "Modern" for years and love it.
Use nightlight pretty much on everything the whole day.

When you do this, you will need to dim the ambient light.

He doesn't own them, he's a fraud. He may own some smaller amount from mining, but even that isn't certain.
The best reference I have so far is from 1970[0].

Waterfall is page 2. Reading past pg 2 you will see attributes of agile and various techniques described. The one thing that comes to mind is the blind men and the elephant[1].

Quoting from the wikipedia link (which quotes another):

O how they cling and wrangle, some who claim

For preacher and monk the honored name!

For, quarreling, each to his view they cling.

Such folk see only one side of a thing.

You could give them a phone and ask them to call you when they get to the bus stop. Consequences of not calling you would be them getting board and having to wait for you to arrive.
Extranational MegaCorps aren't a new idea in SciFi, heck Star Frontiers in the 80s had them, and I'm sure that was ripped off from Traveller, and the Alien movie of course had the bigbad corporation.
Fellow Galaxy Buds (plus) user here, also with Apple devices. I generally like them. Battery life is stellar (compared to the others, it's just about satisfying for me). Pass-through mode is noisy and tinny (irritating). Connection reliability leaves a bunch to be desired (randomly disconnects every once in a while).
I get those crash logs but I don’t benefit from it as much as seeing a realtime task like telemetry attempts but this is also pretty useful. Thanks. It looks like this that data is piped into this jailbreak app.

Yellow mustard on wonder bread with a razor thin slice of mass produced prepackaged sandwich meat soaking in salt water.
Sure, but you self-identified as someone responsible for the project and then suggested people go violate the ToS by running their own benchmarks. I think the community here calling out the double standards and asking for an update/response is entirely fair. If you didn't want the flak then leave off the "I'm the tech lead on CF workers" intro. Seems to me like the ball is in your court to at least try and make your advice actionable.
When I originally saw this video in 2016, I assumed it was filmed under ideal "happy path" conditions. It is standard practice when demo-ing new technology that isn't quite ready for primetime. I bet Siri and Alexa were demoed using pretested phrases and a speaker with a neutral accent in a quiet studio, not in a crowded bar with the cast of Jersey Shore talking.
Who said you need to only have one ENS name either? You could have one that you use for personal tech-related stuff, one that you use for work stuff, one that you use for gaming-related stuff, etc. (although for that kind of usage to really take off, Gas fees will need to come down).
The material commonly mentions "isolates" or V8 taking 5ms to cold start, which seems clearly aimed at Workers.

But the same point applies when comparing against Lambda. It's not a cold start if the app code is already resident in memory in advance. Workers and Lambda also proactively load some apps in advance, and we don't call it a "cold start" in those cases.
I had a 2008 iMac HDD fail when it was barely out of warranty in either late 2009 or very early 2010 and was charged full price for the repair, then a "we'll recycle it for free" when my barely 1 year old iPod Touch decided to stop connecting via USB after updating it to iOS4.

In 2013 the same Apple store replaced a 3rd party stick of RAM in my iMac for an Apple one for free when I sent it to fix the bad hinge on that year's model.
I mean, git is, at best, federated: I host my content, and while you can host a copy of my content (and it can be verified to be accurate), there is no way to find that content. This is why it sucks so much that GitHub refuses to support custom hostname mapping, as it means that people get "trapped" in their hosting as these not-very-decentralized hyperlinks end up scattered around hard-coding the name of the hosting provider not only in peoples' websites and working copies but build scripts and .gitmodules files.

You take the premise of git, though, and you add discovery of copies, and you essentially get IPFS. They use a distributed hash table to let you look up "where can I find a file with this hash?"... but distributed hash tables are protocols designed around altruistic nodes collaborating according to protocol and require complex anti-spam mechanisms that end up failing constantly leading to sybil and eclipse attacks.

To protect against all of these attacks on our decentralized "help me find a place that is hosting code with this hash service" I contend you will end up with consensus techniques with incentive structures that force you down the path of cryptocurrencies. This is, in truth, why Bitcoin is so cool: "nakamoto consensus" is probabilistic technique to build a shared database where you don't have to assume a ton of nodes are honest: the nodes are being monetarily incentivized to be honest.
I like mayo but pretty much all shelf mayo is made with oils that are bad for you. Even some brands which claim to use olive oil primarily use another oil with olive oil further down the ingredient list.
Are there any concrete evidence that the earlier culture were truly superior? They had an initial technology lead because their founders were engineers who were experts in their field and they were early movers in a rapidly expanding blue ocean. If the company starts failing the moment the founders and original employees are gone, it is not fair to pin all the blame on the new management.
I’ve come to recommend Gene Wolfe’s series, starting with Shadow of the Torturer. Can’t explain this one, just read it. Wolfe was an engineer, he helped to create the machine for manufacturing pringles. Bonus: Rudy Rucker’s Ware Tetralogy. A hilarious and thought-provoking cyberpunk book. The author is a Mathematics professor who worked at Autodesk for some time in the 80s.
2nd bonus: Sherlock Holmes, all of Poe’s work and all of H.P. Lovecraft’s work.
Not sure what you mean by heartbeat groups, but if I'm guessing correctly this sounds fairly similar to chaffing and winnowing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaffing_and_winnowing which lets information from multiple senders (or even bogus, non-existent senders) to be clumped together and broadcast in such a way that every destination is able to pick out only the messages intended for them and cannot distinguish messages not meant for them from uniformly random garbage.
no one said you should care, I made a throwaway comment, and then you commented as if you think I think you owe me an explanation.

The article fails to convince me the "Memory Image Pattern" is some how different from the referenced Martin Fowler article about the pattern:Memory Image[0] from 2011, or indeed Event Sourcing[1] from much earlier (referenced by both articles). Especially when you get to the benefits an caveats this is the same concept. Events can describe the initiating action (key down), the finalizing action (key up), or some sort of aggregate (key pressed). Command and Query Result Segregation (CQRS) articles often mention being paired with the event sourcing[2] pattern to lead to the same result.

I think with any weird new technology, fundamentally no knows if it’s going to work.

People who can’t see or imagine use cases become sceptics.

But others who piece together enough observations to tell themselves stories of why it will work become believers.

But neither can explain why the tech will or won’t work, so we end up with technobabblers and angry sceptics.
On your main point, yes, you need to understand how pgbouncer works, it has its quirks and limitations. In particular a dev needs to be aware of how sessions and transactions work if they have some critical transactions. When introducing pgbouncer on one of our rails project we had to fine tune ActiveRecord to play nice, but once it's done there wasn't much to adjust from there.

I'm with on how much it would help if it had a magic mode without these quirks, but in my experience you're still ahead of MySQL and its per session configuration quirks for instance. On a day to day basis, you'll rarely be scratching your head about how to deal with the pgbouncer pooling behavior you chose, an you'll still have the option to directly hit the DB on anything you don't trust the pooler to deal with appropriately.

For the bugs, those are mostly on the security and configuration side. For the few years I've used it, I never hit a behavioral bug TBH.
Anyone else think this year has been a bit tame so far? Last time i did this was back in 2019 and it was very challenging/fun.
This makes me think of the difficulties of using scientific ideas as a basis for policy. This has become very apparent during the pandemic where I repeatedly hear people say "just follow the science." But policy is fundamentally philosophically based. For example, Sweden did not lock down and many places in the UK locked down for more than a year. Surely science cannot be different in different locations, so the philosophy must be different. Therefore "following the science" by itself is meaningless.
Last year cases started going up at least in November.
Same here! I was pleasantly surprised when they set me up and it was already there.
Registrars interface with registries using a protocol called EPP (see RFC 5731 for the bit relevant to domains), generally speaking. They perform updates to domains by sending a domain:update request to the registry's EPP endpoint. There are some complications depending on whether registries treat nameservers are attributes of a domain or independent objects, but that's the gist of it.

Behind the scenes, the registry will update their nameservers to reflect the updated nameserver list for the domain.

Registries don't pull from registrars.
Fair enough. Hard to argue with that.
Assuming that we're using V8 and the function is hot, both the JS code and the WASM will be compiled to optimized bytecode by V8's TurboFan optimizing compiler. The two big reasons why JS is inefficient vs Rust+WASM is because (1) everything is untyped -- without being able to statically resolve properties, the compiler is forced to resort to string lookups and (2) garbage collection. Compiling Rust to WASM will emit code that uses Rust's type system and lifetime analysis to create direct accesses and deallocate objects when necessary.

For such a small program (write the current time to a socket), it's trivial for TurboFan to examine the types of the JS code at runtime [1]. Also, escape analysis should also be trivial [2]. So, at runtime, the optimizing compiler can (1) replace string lookups with very fast address dereferences, and (2) insert appropriate deallocations. My guess is that with these two optimizations the performance difference can be reduced significantly. (Of course there is still some overhead -- deoptimization checks, etc. -- but it's not nearly as big as between a 5 MB JS file vs the same amount of code in Rust.)

In a totally different scenario - if someone requires you to ask before undergoing a drug test, for example, if an Olympic athlete made drug testing conditional upon having notice, it wouldn't be a real test.
Yeah, it's one of those life-changing projects. It's so important and trusted that it should actually be integrated into the browsers themselves so that it can do its job even more effectively. Sadly, conflicts of interest prevent that. It should probably come pre-installed with every browser instead.

I wish iOS Firefox had support for it. Seems Apple doesn't allow extensions. I told all my friends about uBlock Origin but so many of them use iPhones. I still install it on every browser I come across and everyone is happy with it.

It's really surprising to me that Tor is considered de facto the most secure by many, but whenever I review I2P my impression is always that it's better designed than Tor.
I just skimmed the ToS, the only remedy they offer to a violation of the terms is a denial of access to their service. Which is something they definitely can enforce.
Galaxy buds plus too! Love the 11hrs on single charge they’re really good. I think random disconnects stopped when I disabled the touch controls and you can downgrade the firmware, I think the last 2 updates sucked, did they make it worst? https://github.com/ThePBone/GalaxyBudsClient
The pass through mode might be bad because you have a blocked mic, mine is great.

Superficial differences exist between factions, but their fundamental core moral position remains the same.

Conservatives believe in a hierarchical society with the elite at the top who must be pampered, and the bottom feeders who must be ignored and kept quiet lest they try to upset the apple cart. Feudalism was deemed to be too rigid, leading to its downfall in the French Revolution. Capitalism exists as an acceptable alternative, where some one with sufficient IQ and talent from the bottom is allowed to float to the top and prevent unnecessary mutinies.

Conservative factions differ in only who they think should be at the bottom. Social conservatives think it should be gays and other minorities. Economic conservatives believe it should obviously be poor people. Defense hawks believe it should be people of other countries because the home country is racially and culturally superior. A huge percentage believe in all 3 of them. This is why we see apparently contradictory stances such as

1. Small government folks against cheap food stamps but for expensive wars

2. Railing against cheap universal health care to support an expensive insurance industry

3. Republican devout christians opposed to helping the poor and immigrants

The apparent contradiction exists because conservatives never spell out their belief in a hierarchical society outright instead go round and round about in circular arguments - avoiding a statement about their core moral position.

And it can also create hilarious dissonance such as gay republicans or Jewish white nationalists like Stephen Miller supporting Nazis. Stephen Miller is a classic example of a person from an ethnicity that was genocided gleefully cheerleading racism. He is a text book example of an all round conservative who hates all minorities, except perhaps Jews :)

Story points are relative measures (at least when you do it 'right').

What is so different from estimating things as 1/2/5/8 or S/M/L/XL?

S (or 1) is roughly half as hard as M (or 2).

M (or 2) is roughly half as hard as L (or 5). Notice how 2 is not exactly half of 5. Just roughly.

And so forth.

And the point is that you can't say how many S are exactly equivalent to how many Ls. Estimates tend to get less precise the larger they are. There's usually more uncertainty built into large estimates which means once you do the work it might be much faster or much slower because of things you didn't look at very closely when estimating. While small things are easier to have a complete overview of and the estimates are more accurate.

A recent example from my work. There was something the team unanimously estimated as L. I knew it was an S. I knew the code though and they didn't. I let them put the L estimate on it. When the sprint started and I had some time I did the task myself and it really was an S in the end. But that's fine. They 'priced in' the uncertainty. If one if them had done it, it might very well have taken them longer because if not knowing the code as well.

Back in times of WinCE navigation devices, there were many route settings like Easy/Short/Fast which presumably modified pathfinder weights. It seems they disappeared with GMaps and other smartphone apps.
I think the AirPods Pro were a regression from the OG AirPods for four reasons:

- Idle life took a huge dive from the originals. My OGs haven't been charged in something like six months, and the case is still at something like 20%. Meanwhile, the case holding the APPs would die in less than a week and the buds inside of them a week after that.

My wife's APPs have been lost for a while because of this.

- Noise cancellation performs worse than the original firmware. They have actually been outclassed by other offerings, such as the Sony WF1000XM4.

- The buds themselves have a design flaw wherein earwax will accumulate in its inner grille severely enough to significantly compromise bass response. There's a thread in MacRumors that's something like 36 pages long acknowledging this. Apple quietly fixed this in version 2 of the APPs (with the MagSafe case).

- The mic isn't as good. The original APs performed extremely well in wind and loud surroundings. I think the downward beam-forming mics were a big part of this. The mic on the APPs perform worse in these scenarios IMO.

I'm glad that Apple went back to beam-forming mics.

Regardless, I'm thankful for Apple for lighting up the true wireless headphone industry. The APs were a dream come true when they came out; nothing before it compared (and I had $600 custom IEMs that were waterproof and had a control scheme controlled by head nods). The APPs accelerated the creation of noise cancelling true wireless. I'm excited for the next iteration of these products.
Quick sidenote - when signing in with ENS, you sign a message off chain using your private key, which they validate against your public key (your ENS domain is viewable onchain and does not require ETH gas fees to retrieve). So there's no additional cost incurred when signing in via ENS (besides the initial cost to purchase the domain + annual fees).

To your point about operations in general on Ethereum, yes, they are expensive, prohibitively so for the general population.
> done properly

"You're doing it wrong" is not a compelling argument.

A competent, motivated, invested, and empowered team don't need any particular methodology to succeed. Methodologies are adopted precisely because many people don't do things properly much of the time. A methodology which doesn't account for this and doesn't self-correct when done improperly isn't worth a whole lot.

Waterfall done properly produces great results. Agile done properly produces great results. Both of them produce bad results when done poorly. Proponents of one tend to compare their methodology done properly to alternative methodologies done poorly. That's a pointless conversation to have.
>Does "highly centralized" mean a "few hundred nodes" to you?

Yes and no. I think the important part here is that running a node on these networks is prohibitively expensive (costing thousands of dollars per month). The problem isn't really the number of nodes, but the barrier of entry in becoming a node.
Because it requires lawyers to prove that the claims are unenforceable, and most smaller companies aren't going to have the pockets needed to sustain the legal back-and-forth, which forces them to settle even if the big company is in the wrong.

It's legal 'chicken'.
Everyone knows that FSD (Fools Self Driving) was already deceptively advertised and proven to be dangerous to use and puts the lives of drivers on the road at risk and now we have this.

Even worse than the Nikola Motors fraud since this in particular is supposed to be a safety-critical system and involves loss of life. No surprise that the regulators are going to be circling and investigating this if the allegations are true.

What happened to the robot-taxi service scheduled for 2020? Was it that they were so behind on that release date that they ended up falsely advertising FSD with no drivers behind the wheel to show buyers that it was 'working'?

I wonder who fell for that trick.
Last I heard, fully half the air pollution in the Los Angeles basin was blamed on barbeque restaurants. It may be a higher proportion, now, as the cars have got cleaner, but the leaf blowers may have taken up the difference.
I don't know how to do that.

No, tail recursion is more general than iteration—it can be used to implement arbitrary control structures, without needing extra constructs such as conditions. (E.g., this is how Smalltalk implements if/then/else with only blocks and methods.)
