> Caddy

Benefited from Lucas https://clemente.io/ ... full credit to him, and the various people who worked on the IETF test implementations that then became various production implementations.

I don't credit Caddy with this as they were downstream and just received the good work done. Not that Caddy is bad, but singling them out ignores those that did the hard work.

> Are there downsides to HTTP/3? When HTTP/2 came out there was discussions about why not to enable

1. HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 were natural rate limiters to your application... can your app cope when all requests arrive in a much shorter time window? The traffic pattern goes from somewhat smooth, to somewhat bursty and spikey. If your assets come from a dynamic endpoint or you have authorization on your endpoint that results in database lookups... you'll want to load test real world scenarios.

2. There are amplification potentials when you pass HTTP/3 through layers that map to HTTP/2 and HTTP/1 (the optimisations in the small payload to H3 are "undone" and amplify through H2 and H1 protocols)

3. HTTP/3 combined the transport protocol benefits and the HTTP protocol benefits with TLS benefits... all good, but it is harder for DDoS protection as proxies and middle boxes can no longer differentiate as easily the good traffic from the bad, and may not have visibility over what constitues good at all.

Largely though... worth enabling. And for a good while the last of my points is mitigated by disabling H3 as you'll degrade to H2 cleanly.

Given that the CSAM system as documented catches way less cases than server-side scanning, in all likelihood Apple can't implement E2E - no government would let Apple use such an inefficient system by itself. The bargain probably requires invasive client scanning and server side scanning, or at least way more invasive client scanning to catch all the cases the current system can't.
What I really want to see is support for the `browser.gesture.swipe.*` options in Firefox. Being able to do a multi-finger swipe up to close the tab, left and right to go forward and back made browsing with just a trackpad very pleasant. The only real thing that I miss from macOS on a work laptop.

This is a valid point, and I don't disagree that perspective is incredibly valuable. I just don't know if we've been going about it the right way. If someone is interested in technology, then we should make sure that it's as accessible to them as it is to anyone else. Yet, along with varying perspectives among varying demographics comes different interests and aspirations. In the process of pushing what we think other demographics should be aspiring to do are we not drowning out their own interests and aspirations? Are we not simultaneously warping the perspective we seek into one that more closely aligns with our own? It's 2021, anyone can google "well paying careers" see "software development" on the list and decide to pursue it. It should happen naturally, we should absolutely facilitate and encourage that natural convergence, but I think the artificial push is just as harmful as it is helpful.

Currently we're seeing 40kms response times from CloudFront distributions, we can't hit PagerDuty (probably runs on AWS), etc.

The models that create the vector embeddings are trained on either general or domain specific knowledge. So, to oversimplify it a bit: The model has learned - based on the training data it was presented with - that "Scandinavian" has a relationship to "Finnish". Since the vector space is high-dimensional you can think of each language concept having a distinct place in that space. In this case the concept for "Scandinavian" and "Finnish" were close enough that you got a matching result. To simplifiy it even more: The vectors do not represent the words but the meaning behind them. So, the two sentences "I like wine" and "The fermented juice of grapes is my favorite beverage" have zero keywords overlapping, but are semantically identical. So a good model would give them very similar vectors even though a traditional search engine would find zero resemblence between them.

EDIT: Just realized I didn't answer the second part of your question. Yes, the models are language-specific, but there are also multilingual models that work across a large no. of different languages.
That's entirely fair, but the perspective of those in web3 is that this property exists on a spectrum.

The present day incumbent side of that spectrum is that the DNS registrar could decide one day to just take your domain from you, and there's not much you could do about it. Sure, you could sue, but that takes time and meanwhile your business could be ruined.

A more concrete example of this is social handles. Earlier this week, there was a story about a girl that had the Instagram handle @metaverse, and Facebook decided to just take it from her with no recourse.

Our contention is that shouldn't be possible.

But here's the thing: if you prefer to have a centralized entity control your assets just like today, you have the choice to do that! Everyone that has their assets on Coinbase today is making that choice, and that's totally fine.

The big innovation is, they can decide at any time to take custody of it themselves if they want, or move it to another centralized holder! Just like you have the choice to leave your money in the bank, or you can withdraw it to cash and keep it in a safe in your house. We're just giving users that same choice for digital assets.

This makes sense. Several other services are down.
That's a selective reading of scientific history.

What about the rest of our modern scientific knowledge base? Gravity. Electromagnetism. Chemistry. Biology. There are entire swathes of disciplines that are well nailed down by results, and used daily as though they were fact. Because they work reliably.

So I'm going to call BS on the idea that science can't be conclusive because of the definition of the scientific method. It's arguing in bad faith to point at the 1% and ignore the 99%.

Thanks for the article. But the goal of the graphs should be to show level of change and let graph speak for itself, if it's high or low. If they were anchored at 0 it would actually allow to see visual difference and for me personally it would be "way that was mostly readable side by side".

If you have a content-length header, and a checksum after the declared number of bytes, it becomes way harder to desync a request: prepended data would change the checksum, and an altered length header would make the parser miss the checksum in the stream.

IIRC these weren't for two finger swipes at least on macOS (which is the only place I saw this working). I think these were handling 3-finger swipes. Unfortunately now GNOME chomps 3-finger swipes so IDK if that is where the problem is (I guess someone without GNOME can try and see).
Seems to be AWS-related. Nothing on their status page yet, but people's personal health dashboards are reporting another networking outage
The only feasible way to do that is to use the hydrogen at the source of production to make methane, using direct air capture and reduction of CO2 (Sabatier process) as the carbon source. This is because existing methane pipelines would be embrittled by hydrogen and would soon fail, with disastrous consequences.

Hydrogen from electrolysis is best viewed as an intermediate feedstock for further chemical synthesis, as with ammonia production, methane production, jet fuel production, etc. There is perhaps potential for dumping excess grid electricity into hydrogen storage tanks at power plants as a temporary storage system, i.e. converting the hydrogen back to electricity via fuels cells (not turbines!) to meet electrical demand later.

Hydrogen storage requires special alloys to avoid steel embrittlement however, so it's fairly expensive.
Maybe we see it different because you’re looking at the affect and I’m looking at the capability.

It might look like extensibility but it’s somewhat akin to your ISP having the ability to insert random HTML on a plaintext http stream.

Of course, this is “extensible”, but it’s potentially dangerous.

Your argument is that _your router_ is doing the same thing, adding HTML and JS elements to every web page to, idk, give you dark mode.

It doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

Now, I can agree that it feels jarring to lose these things- but we should be looking to solve them the right ways.

That debate is about the state forcing you to do something.

This debate is about Google opting to not employ you.

Not even remotely comparable.
They are possible, but they will not be implemented on Apple’s scale without CSAM features. Politics already try to implement forced backdoors.
The abstract for the paper (thanks for that link!) says:

> Yet even in systems which meet >90% of demand, hundreds of hours of unmet demand may occur annually.

... and the low end of the range is 72%, which leaves many more hours unaccounted for. Some amount of reliable, clean power is needed on top of the renewables.

Every solution I've seen for the Alcubierre drive is static.

To really make it work you have to start out in normal flat space, turn it on, and then turn it off.

You have to do this without being killed. I suspect you'd face hazards like the hazards you'd have falling into a black hole. (Personally I think you die when crossing the event horizon and never make it to the classical singularity, not just because you got killed at the event horizon, but there is nothing that looks like the classical singularity.)

I think the Alcubierre drive doesn't violate the censorship principle because practically it doesn't create closed timelike curves. You can't see outside, you can't get into it, you can't get around it. You might be moving faster than light in some sense but you can't interact with the universe and communicate messages from here to there.

How many times people said that the Air is the "entry level" "low budget" Mac?

Which one is true?

Is it a luxury product or an entry level one?

I can quote many comments saying both things in the same thread.

Anyway, no company pays Lenovo full price and their discount policies are far more aggressive than Apple's.

There's a reason: Apple doesn't undersell, they don't care.

Lenovo, Dell, HP make volumes, they don't care to be a luxury brand.

The X1 carbon, paid full price, is for people who have money to waste.
I’m 31 and at least in my age bracket most of the people I was in CS with weren’t the money crowd.

It is however very rare that absolute differences matter; and even when they do, the scale should (often) be fixed. For example the temperatures:

[A: 27.0, B: 29.0, C: 28.0]

versus:

[A: 27.0, B: 27.2, C: 26.9]

If scale is fit to the min and max values, the charts will look the same.

Still, as a rule of thumb, when Y axis doesn't start at 0, the chart is probably misleading. It is very rare that the absolute size of the measured quantity doesn't matter.
Yep, when it loads, it's all green. "nine nines!!!"

AWS should monitor itself from Azure or GCP, even DO or Linode makes more sense.

Eat your own dog food shows confidence, but monitoring it is a different dimension, you need use anything but your own dog food there.
I monitor the RAM usage of my work machine with prometheus, and I haven't been above 16GB yet. This is on a machine with 40GB RAM and swappiness set to 1 (don't swap unless you reeeeeeeaaaalllyyyy have to).

This is running Linux rather than macos though, but it shouldn't really matter. I do have loads of web junk loaded. (Slack, Gmail, Gcal, YT music, Fastmail, plenty of browser tabs)
Sadly this, people are entrenched with AWS and the... "We're not the only ones down" thing truly has some effect

Organizations can more easily swallow an AWS failure when they aren't the only ones hit. They move elsewhere, those outages look more unique

Folks may think multi cloud is a good idea... But you're just as likely to suffer from the extra points of failure as you are to benefit
I don't think people can make politicians accountable as long as primary incentives for those politicians are campaign contributions from corporations and wealthy donors. A politician only has motivation to do bare minimum not to lose elected office. As we have seen with CA governor - even utterly failed governance, mandate firings and senseless school closures do not sway the public enough. If _that_ can't do it, what else can? It seems that the only real way to vote in US is with your "legs" - i.e. move to another state (an option that countries like Austria do not even have :-( )
I expect this to change radically as the entry level 6-figure crowd gets older. Speaking for myself, my ability to care about my work is inversely proportional to my retirement account balances, and I want out asap.

The Future Lies in the Struggle
How about an ad for a "Status Page Engineer"?
“Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks”. This is Karl Marx, a century and a half ago, but since then the reality of a capitalism that has grown senile — in the late maturity of imperialist society — has imbued those words with a disconcerting and practical truth. Through globalisation, capital runs the markets at all latitudes, seeking out, from two billion wage-earners, the surplus value that keeps it alive. Moreover, in the old powers where capitalism was first born, before spreading to the whole world and feeding new aspirant powers - eager to redefine the partition, the whole scaffolding of the social system could not stand without a growing share of migrants in the labour force. Described by Lenin, the analyses of parasitic degeneration and the putrefaction of a capitalism in its imperialist phase, are science, like that of Marx, and not simple moralistic invective. In Europe, America, Japan, the demographic winter impresses upon us the tangible reality of stunted societies, increasingly aged, that can literally only survive by importing young people.

Vampiric in three senses, then: at home, in the export of capital and in the import of a labour force. Such a society clearly has no future, and in the uneasiness running through public opinion, in the resentments and the populist anger, a vague premonition is felt. In addition, the shadows of new grow ever taller, China above all, making the status quo of the world order unsustainable and thereby undermining the security of assets, safeguards and protections.

A future does exist, but not in capital: it exists in those two billion salaried workers who are its contradiction. There is no area in the world that does not show, concealed or in sudden explosions, the friction and collisions of the class antagonism. There is redemption in that struggle but that alone is not enough, under penalty of seeing our class instrumentalised, seized with fanaticism and ideologies or suffocated in repression, as is happening today in Chile, Lebanon, Algeria, Iraq, Iran and India. The struggle is only the first step; only a communist and an internationalist strategy open the way to the future.
I'm not a physicist so take this with a huge grain of salt, but from what I understand, this proposed warp bubble would use the casimir effect. But the casimir effect works by creating a gap so narrow it excludes wavelengths of energy larger than it. So even if the math were all correct and you actually built one of these, wouldn't it be too small to actually send a signal through? And if nothing can fit through it, is there any point?
You could do it that way, but I don't have the need, so my way leads to faster dev cycle: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29566574

Doing as you say requires two deployment for each change with a pause in between, and likely two separate merges (does it?). This reduces the deployment velocity. I might have to do as you describe when I start scaling out - there is no hope of updating many servers in sync so might as well embrace multi-version.
