Like a sibling said, you misunderstand these laws (there have been more than one, but the main one now is GDPR). I never heard of a law where you needed a privacy wall to inform people about some technical features of how the website works. It's only when you store tracking tokens in the cookie jar, localStorage, etags, etc., that you need to tell them what data you are collecting.

If you do not need opt-in consent just to view the page, then no coercive wall is ever required.

Literally every single one of the sites with so-called cookie walls can be divided into two categories: site owners that have no idea what the law actually says but they think it's trendy or something, and sites that have no legitimate interest or other legal reason for processing some data and therefore need to seek your "freely given" opt-in consent. If they already had a legal grounds, they wouldn't need to ask for it.

A lot of the most compelling art happens when people fully commit. But if you fully commit to something which is a little off, a brilliant performance can become something that feels "bad" but you still can't look away.

If an actor gives a committed performance while filming, they could have the sense that it is either amazingly good or amazingly bad. And either premonition could be right or could be wrong.

(Not to get into what makes something "bad" anyway which is a whole 'nother subject...)

Ah, the database does a lot more than just pub/sub - especially since the high traffic pub/sub goes through redis. I guess my point was that we never regretted setting up postgres as the "default job queue" and it never required much engineering work to maintain.

For an example, it handles stripe webhooks when users change their pricing tier - if you drop that message, users would be paying for something they wouldn't receive.
I'm sorry but no, the original video does clarify some important things that people misunderstand about transmission of electricity, but then it piles on a bunch of other really unclear information with no explanation. It answers a question with about 8 other questions and then offers no help in understanding any of them.

You can't just say "there's electricity at the light bulb nearly immediately! (oh by the way it's not very much electricity but I'm not going to explain why or even how much less, and it's probably not even enough to turn on an LED but I'm not even going to mention that)" and then get pissy when people are like "???!??!?!" It's pretty blatantly deliberately misleading and confusing in order to stir up exactly this controversy.

Especially since the effects he's describing are probably (as mentioned in this video) because of capacitance, and are completely dependent on the 1m distance between the wires across the entire span, a constraint he mentions basically once and then never again, and never says explicitly that it's related to the effect.

This video and electroboom's videos are far more educational, and more importantly don't leave you hanging with a bunch of new questions with no resources provided to answer them.
Yes, and I think you will find that those slots cover most of the rich white male population present at Harvard...
I think the issue with the square would be that the capacitance would be much, much smaller since the wires are separated by a large distance (square law). The capacitance of the original setup is already quite small, but at least it's noticeable on a decent scope. But I doubt you'd see that effect in the square setup.

The other issue with the Veritasium "setup" was that he specified that the wires had no resistance. That being the case the RC time constant would be 0 and thus you wouldn't see that initial charging of the capacitance (and associated current flow) because it would happen instantaneously under those assumptions.

APPENDIX TO WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS Naked Lunch : Burroughs quote in The British Journal of Addiction, Vol 53, No.2

"LETTER FROM A MASTER ADDICT TO DANGEROUS DRUGS (August 3rd, 1956. Venice (p. 189, Paladin 1992 ed.):"

"I have Taken morphine for acute pain. Any opiate that effectively relieves pain to an equal degree relieves withdrawal symptoms. The conclusion is obvious: Any opiate that relieves pain is habit forming, and the more effectively it relieves pain the more habit forming it is. ..."

William Burroughs.

There is no argument about this and there hasn't been any for about at least a century or more. This is medicine/pharmacy 101 stuff.

All those who thought/think otherwise are fools and should not be anywhere near such decision-making processes. Those qualified in pharmacy or medicine and involved in the pushing and peddling of oxycontin had to know EXACTLY what they were doing - that's to say the serious damage they were doing to patients' health not to mention the deaths - the 65-year old Burroughs quote being the scientific orodoxy in hundreds of medical and pharmacopeia texts.

Burroughs, an opiate addict for 15 years, is one of the most articulate drug users to have written on the matter of opiate addiction and the fact that his descriptions of the addictiveness of opioids has been widely published for decades in the popular press meant that not just the professions knew the details intimately but also that everyone did.

Nothing that Purdue or the Shacklers can say or do can absolve them from their responsibility for the deaths of over 800,000 people - a truly staggering number.

The original settlement was a fucking farce of the first order. Why the Shacklers weren't stripped of everything they own then locked up and the key thrown away simply amazes me. What's wrong with US justice that it can fail so terribly? Here, justice is nothing other than a joke - a joke run and told by the accused.

Moreover, what went wrong with the medical profession and the regulators? Why was the FDA AWOL on this matter for decades - a matter with very well known and long-honed parameters?

After all, the matter of narcotics and addiction is the subject of international treaties. We all know the issues and yet it still happened.

The Purdue, Sacklers and oxycontin matter is one of the greatest failures of public health of all time: a tragedy of unprecedented proportions - and as far as I can determine, no one - except the dead - have paid any penalty whatsoever.

Surely you don't expect people using keyboards without dedicated function keys (or number rows) are aiming to never need to use those keys?

The trade-off from fewer keys is reduced hand movement (& a smaller keyboard, cheaper to buy switches for, etc.), at the cost of additional complexity of use, & it not really being easy for anyone else to use your keyboard.

It seems reasonable either way to prefer one or the other. -- I suspect that most of the people enthusiastic about the smaller keyboard layouts are also into keyboard-driven workflows, and are developers who also frequently need to use the symbols accessed using layers.
If the above poster never replies, I would assume that they're referring to (from a quick google) the fact that the EFF opposes laws that would put liabilities for blockchain software on the software author[1], and provides other similar defenses, similar to how the ACLU occasionally defends the free speech of white supremacists[2], to ensure equal protection under the law and avoid setting a bad legal precedent.

The further the battery and switch get away from the light, the less current you'll see at the battery at (sqrt(2)*width)/c s, since the electric and magnetic fields around the battery and wire will drop in strength as you move further away from them.

Put another way, the main reason this effect is observable in the way shown in the video is because the light and battery, and the wires between them, are so close together. Move them further away, and, per the inverse square law, you'll start seeing a much lower induced current-- the effect may still be there, but it won't be measurable over the noise floor of the experiment setup.
A waker-based API can fall back to waking all paused tasks in a background process to recover from lost events (epoll overflow or such), while a callback-based API can't "just" do so without (allocation?) cost on the happy path.

Their inherent resilience to spurious wakeups is quite useful in that regard.
They also work with exotic FD's, as long as those can still be registered with epoll. For example, pidfd can be polled for readability (despite any read(2) call failing with EINVAL), triggering when the corresponding process terminated.

I guess the benefit is that at least on Linux pre-io_uring, the async syscall way of doing things was via poll/select/epoll to notice when an fd unblocked, followed by waking whatever corouting/statemachine was interested in that event. It composes quite well.
Late edit: 1) bold and capitalize 'allegedly' above; 2) in the response linked in a comment below, on p.2 lines 7-8, Meta claims the [fact check] labels constitute protected opinion; 3) it could easily be a libel non-case, especially as it is Stossel.

My impression is that Meta's distancing move ("third party" fact-checkers, with label/pointer linkage) is more solid than a claim, say, "I am merely the owner of the safe and the combination, your Honor, not the contents themselves." However, if someone such as Stossel wants to pierce the veil with regard to 230, so to speak, it seems a good question whether a prominently linked "fact check" has the same ontological/moral status as any uninvited third party post.

Earths, yes, but there are hydrocarbons elsewhere that are not biological in origin.

“Methane (CH4) is abundant on the giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—where it was the product of chemical processing of primordial solar nebula material. On Earth, though, methane is special. Of the 1,750 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) of methane in Earth’s atmosphere, 90 to 95 percent is biological in origin.”[1]

Yes, and they can also replace the age binary with one that uploads the password as soon as you type it. There is no meaningful security boundary to defend.

We implemented support for password-encrypted keys for the cases where you store the key file in, say, Dropbox.
I wrote StarQueue https://www.starqueue.org which uses Postgres as a back end.

I actually wrote StarQueue for MySQL, Microsoft SQL server and also Postgres - they all work just fine as a message queue back end, because they all support SKIP LOCKED.

Agreed on all counts.

Like, I don't want _everyone_ to use Redux. I just want people to understand "here are the strengths, weaknesses, and use cases of tools X, Y, and Z, and when it may make sense to use them".

Honestly, we Redux maintainers (Dan, myself, Lenz Weber) have had to spend far more time telling people when _not_ to use Redux than we have trying to advertise the library :)

When I rewrote the Redux docs tutorials last year, I made it a point to put "When should I use Redux?" right up front on the first page:

https://redux.js.org/tutorials/essentials/part-1-overview-co...

but that sadly can't have any effect on the thousands of existing tutorial pages or low-effort posts that are out there already.

Remember that what you're legally entitled to is statutory damages ($50k per act of infringement or $150k for wilful infringement) plus whatever actual damages you can prove (probably 0 for a hobbyist).

You can negotiate whatever alternative settlement you like, which might mean e.g. regular audits of their code at their expense (the BSA does this kind of thing for a lot of commercial software). But they always have the option of just ponying up that $50k/copy, so you can't be too onerous.

The transaction feature seems nice but how often is your application dropping queue messages because something happened between tx.commit() and queue.send(msg)? My experience has been that this is not an issue.

> 1. Webassembly only runs in a completely sandboxed, bounds checked memory container with a tiny surface area.

Which is mostly sort of great in a browser context. But WASI appears to be pushing WASM for use outside the browser context, and for this to really make sense, the restruction in your #1 would need to be severely relaxed and/or substantial and large modules added to facilitate interaction with the underlying host system.

Of course some of this happened at the browser level already: web audio, web usb as the two main examples. But as that keeps happening, the "tiny surface area" feature also gets a little harder to claim.

So SKIP LOCKED is a pretty well worn optimization at this point. People have been doing this for a while.

What kind of TPS are people seeing on queues based on psql?

https://gist.github.com/chanks/7585810

10k/s here, but that was on a postgres from years ago - there have been like 4 or 5 major versions since then I think.

That's a good amount and I'm betting you can push it forward. Further, a queue is trivially sharded since messages are entirely isolated.

That said, Kafka can do hundreds of thousands if not millions of messages per second, so clearly there's room for optimizations.

> but you will need a lawyer to explain that when you get hit with some fines.

This is really just scaremongering. Usually there are exceptions to a rule but here I feel fairly comfortable saying: show me a single case where someone got "hit with some fines" and then they needed a lawyer to "explain" things in a lawyery manner and then suddenly everything was fine whereas it wasn't when the site owners responded to an inquiry in normal human language.

If you don't do tracking for no reason and aren't blatantly invading privacy, you'll get a warning if anything -- and for a USA-only site, no country's DPA feels responsible anyway so I'd be highly surprised if they even got to the warning phase even if you were doing something wrong.

I know there are technically some requirements in every privacy policy, e.g. mentioning which rights the user has (I'm not in favor of having those, citing the law in every policy makes them much longer than necessary to read and dilutes the real content, and also it makes it so that you can't have a legal website without complying with the EU's specific laws -- that won't scale if all ~190 countries in the world try to pull that crap), but that's not the same as needing to lawyer up to wave away fines that you got hit with out of the blue as a website that had nothing to do with the EU in the first place.
The effort is on the developer, targeting Proton means the developer writes the code once and can target Windows and Linux. If Valve wants to be the big gaming platform for PC, the best they can do it improve Proton/Win32, and make it the official supported and preferred platform for their store games.

Native Linux is too much of a moving target, and the fact that Win32 is so focused on backwards compatibility makes it a perfect platform to build games upon.

I am a Linux gamer and I'd rather play the Proton version than chase missing libraries and broken audio which often affects bad native Linux ports. And the better Proton is, the longer we'll be able to play old games that are no longer compatible with newer Windows versions.
That is all true. That doesn't change the fact that there are people in the US who would prefer that these events are not taught in school. It's good and important that they are, but there are people who would prefer to see only nationalistic feel-good history be taught. There are also schools that ban certain books, important, literary books.

It may be basic, but just the _existence_ of this field wasn't something that was on my radar, let alone all the details and implications. This was certainly the most interesting and enlightening set of videos I've seen this year.

I particularly like this one because "I want to get an oscilloscope and see what is actually going on" was my first thought, and this video saves me the effort of trying to set up what would be a much more limited version of the experiment. The promised followups also cover exactly what I'd like to see tried next.
