"no serious advocate of defunding"

No true Scotsman. The montages of prominent politicians and community leaders asking for the elimination of the police are easy to google.
Imaging you're depressed. Or suffering from PTSD/CPTSD. Generally unhappy. Have deep echoes of misery to wade through as the background of your daily life.

AWS publishes postmortems for major outages here: [1]

This outage was significant enough to expect a public PES but it's typical for it to take at least a few weeks for that page to get updated. At least, that's been the trend for all previous publications. If the PES is anything like previous PESes, it will have a detailed explanation of the root-cause and an explanation of what will change to prevent the issue from happening again but it will still be technologically abstract because cloud providers are very secretive of how they orchestrate resources behind the scenes. Enterprise-tier support customers can ask for RCA's but as I understand it, the account managers don't have any official wording internally yet either. But, it's only been 48 hours, so something of this significance will likely have a large chain of sign-offs it has to go through before official wording is announced.

This type of quietness from AWS before their official wording gets published is standard practice for them. They have a large legal team, PR team, and executive team that will all be interested in controlling the narrative but that's not uncommon for other large companies either.

If I were to take a stab in the dark, I'd say we'll see a PES in ~2 weeks. Maybe sooner, maybe later. If they don't announce a PES, I'll be really shocked because last year's Kinesis outage had arguably smaller impact but ended up getting a publication. [2]

To quote another author whose work was also never translated(Jarosław Grzędowicz):

"Native English speakers generally don't accept translations done by anyone who's not a native English speaker as well. Unfortunately there are very few native English speakers who are at the same time experts in Polish, and it so happens that all four of them are currently busy fulfilling their careers as lumberjacks".

Insertions and removals did work well on the Famicom, but not so much on the NES; the famicom had a typical edge-connector while the NES had a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) connector.

The pins would be repositioned with each insertion and you had to hope that all 72 pins made a good-enough contact. If the 10NES made poor contact you got a 1Hz reboot loop. If other pins made poor contact the game would kind-of sort-of work until it crashed.

The title seemed a bit misleading at first. “China enforcing replacement of .com domains with .cn for in-country HTTP traffic”.

If I’m reading this thread correctly, China is requiring from at least the op who has some http servers that are publicly accessible to not have a .com domain pointing to their servers but apparently a .cn is acceptable. There is not much information in the thread ion why and whether they need to additionally add a cn tld pointing, is the company needs to just have a cn tld, or if it’s something very specific like the reverse dns needs to resolve the ip to a cn tld. Interesting if legit anyway.
I was presuming resistive heating - a heat pump does make more sense. That said a practical heat pump with even a 1-way efficiency of 97% seems unlikely.
But a misleadingly bad slogan makes it much more likely that people will say "no thanks". If what you said isn't what you meant, and what you said makes people reject what you meant, why did you say it?

I suspect that proponents thought anger at the police was much more widely spread than it was, so they grabbed what they thought would sell.

"Inspire creativity and generate value for creators through community."

I find this one to be the most interesting.

The creators of Replit seem well-aware that they're not going to replace the modern IDE and they don't intend to. It seems like they're pursuing a slightly different goal, one adjacent enough that a lot of people commenting seem to miss the point.

I'll take a broad example: When I look at the cryptocurrency community, I find nearly everything about it contemptible, except the community-driven aspects of it. That's where it really shines.

The way people collaborate and work with each other to build a DAO over the weekend is fascinating. It's an interesting phenomena that I don't think has been properly captured in tech, except in bits and pieces.

For example, Terence Tao talks about leveraging the power of community to solve mathematical problems that needed a lot of disparate insights during the Polymath Project. Together a group of random mathematicians on the Internet were able to essentially turn one of the math problems into a competition: "to improve the bounds for small gaps between primes" where the gap initially began at around 70 million and eventually (through different mathematical breakthroughs from many different contributors) they were able to decrease the gap number down to 246.

It's an amazing feat and Terence remarks that only certain problems are amenable to community work, if the incentives are high enough.

So what does this have to do with Replit?

There's a lot of problems out there that are difficult for any one individual to solve. And certain problems, especially in software, that would be best addressed by groups.

I can imagine a place where you can meet with other programmers who share skills you find useful to be a very valuable space.

It may not seem like a massive leap, but I find anything that reduces friction for software engineers tends to have a 10X effect on productivity.

I wouldn't mind living in a world like that.
Who needs an ISP, just connect ur own Ethernet to the backhaul. Why even buy an ethernet cable when the spec if an open standard, just make it at home.
There has been no assault on unions.. in the private sector, they bankrupted every domestic industry where they predominated. That is what caused their membership rates to decline.

In the one sector where expenses are socialized, and thus which doesn't go bankrupt easily, they have gotten increasingly powerful.

Government social welfare spending has rapidly grown, at the behest of public sector unions who increasingly control the political system:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/social-spending-oecd-long...

A couple anecdotes illuminates the kind of power these unions wield:

New York has nearly 300,000 unionized public sector employees receiving over $100,000 a year:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2020/05/26/why...

In California, emergency workers can retire at 55 with 90% of their pension, that averages $108,000 per year.

California now has $1 trillion in pension obligations for its unionized public sector workers.

>>But you think that the fascists should have money thrown at them because they're more violent than the rest of us?

They're not fascists. But many will join fascist movements, like the Jan 6th groups, if they see their economic interests threatened, just as many public sector union members will join insurrectionist socialist/communist movements, if their rent-seeking institutions are dismantled.

>>After the civil war America rebuilt itself into the world's richest and most powerful country.

The US was already on its way to becoming the richest and most powerful country in the world in the early 19th century. That outcome was predicted by British thinkers since long before the Civil War.

The Civil War was massively destructive, both in terms of economic resources, and human lives - in killing 600,000 people, and later US economic growth was despite of it, not because of it.
This is true but most of the ISPs I worked with (in an admittedly smallish town) would often upgrade for the user every 5 years or so. A lot of the times it was needed as they shipped the cheapest routers they could get, even when it wasn’t they’d roll out new stuff as people called in. 10 years I could see, my mom and dad used the same tiny netgear modem/router for 7 before having me redo their network.
And we are all very impressed. However, it's obvious how this set of books would intimidate mainstream non-exceptional folks (unlike yourself and the other person on this thread) from pursuing CS. I mean sure, different people like different things, but this piece of scientific literature is both very talked about and very little read as opposed to other, more distilled and popular sources of education. Sources which, due to solely their popularity, would have a lot more people around to help you when you're having trouble making progress.

Not saying these are bad books, they're actually brilliant (even with a couple of errors in the exercises). But with my (teeny tiny very little) teaching background, it's probably at the bottom of the list of things to recommend to someone just starting to look at CS fundamentals. Skiena's book would probably be my first choice.
The discussion is not about the semantic expressiveness of HTML. There are certainly limitations, but these are limitations of HTML. The discussion is about whether or not "tag soup" (excessive HTML elements) is necessary for styling with modern CSS. I cannot think of an example of where it is.

> Can you replace them all with more semantic tags? If not, can you remove them and still style it the same way?

I looked at on the first four examples, but my responses are yes and yes.

Take the figure example. The first div, which groups blockquote and figcaption, is extraneous and unnecessary for the end styling result. The second div is not extraneous because it exists for a purpose. The purpose of the second div is to place emphasis on the name or make it stand out. Thus, it should be changed to em. The third div is extraneous. With the HTML in place, grid it up.

You have the container (figure) with two columns and two rows. The image sits in the first column spanning both rows. The blockquote sits in the second column on the first row. The figcaption sits in the bottom right-hand corner. Then tweak to get your img and other parts as desired (e.g., width, spacing, font-size, etc.).

> You need divs all the time for layout (e.g. to group parents/children in the right way for flexbox) ... to get around CSS quirks (search for "wrapper div" for examples).

Sometimes flexbox is the wrong tool. Sometimes floats are better. Sometimes grid is better. If you find yourself reaching for extra HTML elements first, you should stop and re-evaluate whether your approach to achieving that layout is appropriate.

On quirks, my experience is that "quirks" are rarely actual quirks. They are usually a limited understanding of HTML and CSS.
This is my standard time to paste it: Most of the enterprise configuration options in Defender can be put in place on a standalone desktop by opening gpedit.msc. You can configure exclusion paths for node_modules. You can configure sensitivity ("cloud protection level"), you can configure "Block at first site", you can configure "Potentially unwanted software" detection. Which you may choose to disable, but is absolutely brilliant for family members downloading "questionable" software.

The Attack Surface Reduction rules can be put in place here even for people who disable realtime scans or use alternate AV products and provide significant, clear security benefits. The "block access to lsass.exe" option breaks mimikatz, procdump et al and is absolutely underrated for its capabilities. And free.
Another more recent novel about nuclear war is "The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the U.S.". It describes the Trump administration handling a North Korean crisis poorly, as you'd expect.

One thing I found interesting: the book states that much of DPRK C3 is done over encrypted channels that use civilian cell phone network towers, because they can't afford to maintain a completely separate military communications network like many other nuclear states.

During the crisis, South Korea fires a missile at the Kim family home when Kim Jong Un was known to be observing a missile test elsewhere. But this results in rumors that Kim Jong Un had been killed, resulting in a spike in civilian cell phone traffic and a collapse in service. With communications down, missiles striking official residences, and a South Korea/US wargame happening next door, Kim concludes that a decapitation attack is in progress and goes nuclear.

Fun fact: for several decades the US has had a telephone priority system for government officials. If the book is at all correct, if would be in the US's interests for the DPRK to implement one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Emergency_Telecommu...

It's fun to think I'm running the show, isn't it. Yes, I fully own my unbounded contempt for the fragile-ego'ed patriots tearing the country apart. But I'm not running the show, am I? And that doesn't matter. The people running the show, Clinton and Obama and Biden and so forth, speak in diplomatic terms and offer olive branches and try to see the other side and it earns them nothing but vilification. Because the fragile egos listen to people who want to keep them angry and suspicious. Who treats them with greater contempt, the politicians who try to work on their behalf while being burned in effigy or the propagandists who lie to them to keep them aggrieved?

And how is anyone supposed to respect someone whose values are so askew and who is so easily led?

That is possible. I can only speak from my experience. I visited NYC a number of times pre-Giuliani, then moved to NYC after he became mayor. It was like night and day, particularly the area around Times Square where I ended up working.
Yeah, I would expect the number of journalists in jail to be at an all time high if the number of journalists (and, in fact, the number of humans) is at an all time high.

Not that it's good, of course.

It's funny as someone on the left I also remember the death of Paul Wellstone as a turning point. But to me it was the fact that the right wing media had become so powerful that they could manufacture whatever outrage they wanted. The manufactured outrage was that the funeral of the most passionate progressive senator, days before his election, became an expression of people wanting to continue his legacy.

Everybody always says the liberal media is so powerful but I don't think it holds a candle to the right wing media's power to manufacture constant outrage. These live with constant popular uprisings manufactured by the right such as anti-CRT, anti-mask, anti-immigrant. The left has nowhere near that kind of power.
Generally solved by mixing sources, wind, transmission and storage. People freak at the overcapacity build cost a bit.

Hydro systems and pumped storage look useful in this but the extent of summer winter variance is very specific to latitude and much of the planet isn't as badly affected. Wear transmission losses, buy power from lower lattitudes
Ughhh the loans were meant to be forgiven if used for payroll and to help the business keep people employed. It was a stop gap measure to prevent further layoffs. My company hired employees with the PPP loan and had to submit a lot of paperwork to get the loans forgiven. As long as the loans were used for payroll, they can be forgiven.
We had to get our employee count back up to pre covid layoffs and show proof of hours worked, еtc.

I played the game for the first time today (free on XBox Pass), and was very surprised. It positively feels like a game from the late 2000s, in every aspect, and especially in multiplayer. Boring graphics, stiff movement, cobbled together audio... I'm puzzled how it has any appeal.

This doesn't make sense. Economics isn't something with a goal, it's a praxis which exists solely to manage scarcity. Eliminate scarcity and economics disappears.

That's GitHub. And it's already building a web IDE. Just hit . on any public GH repo.
I’m sure you are an honest person working in good faith. But we saw very similar behavior from Google around AMP. They had a very narrow reasonable sounding explanation, and just ignored all criticism and requests from both users and publishers that didn’t fit their narrative. This went on for years.

Today we know AMP was also a anticompetitive plot to kill off header bidding.

This is laughable. It's 2021 and we still can't to basic filtering in our app stores. Maybe google (and Apple) engineers only know SELECT, but haven't learned about WHERE yet? Yeah i know it's a little much to demand. I mean we only went to the moon like 52 years ago.
