As an aside, while doing the final skim before publishing I wanted to reference a definition of a "seam" in programming.

I've always had this in my head as something Martin Fowler used, and thought it funny that when Googling "Martin Fowler seam", the top result was a very similar article about how to refactor code that accesses external services:

- https://martinfowler.com/articles/refactoring-external-servi...

I guess this post can be viewed as a Go example of those techniques, within a modern context.
I suppose you could argue either way and its opposite in the abstract.

IRL however, I think that official/administrative/political decisions are usually presented as non decisions. Maybe a decisions is cloaked "decisive evidence" that leaves no choice, prior decisions/rulemaking is determined to be applicable, or somesuch.

Naked "I have made decision X" is generally avoided.

Counterpoint to your counterpoint: the standard is still the best way, and ligitures are non standard.
In my experience the best way to monitor is to have passive monitoring for all dependencies (error rate, latency, response time, throughput) across all touch points, and then to have active monitoring (health checks, acks/nacks) for all the things which are performing the passive monitoring, which are usually your services or applications. After that, you usually want to set some sort of anomaly watermarks, either manually based off a baseline or use one of the many anomaly detection solutions available.

I've found many issues with providers this way, often before they even knew. It's also helped inform decisions to migrate to alternative providers or services when we are able to measure what the improvements would actually be, rather than relying on hand waving and marketing materials.

This is all pretty easy stuff, but of requires discipline and the resources to invest in instrumenting everything. You need some level of buy in from leadership and it's all the more difficult if you have a toilsome ops or oncall rotation. If you are large enough and can afford it, I recommend empowering at least one reliable engineer to be tasked to solve the problem across the stack.

The real problems are when you're operating a service you don't really own (i.e. a vendor) and there are issues related to how it interacts with something else. The only real solution, aside from getting the thing fixed or abandoning it, is to shim or proxy the dependencies such that you can instrument it as a black box. For example, if your vendor gives you a .jar that you configure to use S3, run a local proxy for S3 as a side car and collect stats there. This is a contrived example, but the concept should be clear. Often you can't even do this, as vendors hardcode stuff like AWS, and forget it if you're using something managed like Databricks or Snowflake.

As just one example, take Hunter Biden's laptop before the election. This got memory-holed so fast, half of America doesn't know it exists, and 2/3rds of the rest believe the 50+ intelligence agents who immediately said, with no proof, it's Russian disinformation. This was epitomized by the reporter who said, -even if the laptop is true-, the press must treat it as disinformation.

I had a similar experience. Plugins I needed had a strong MVP vibe and had only portion of features implemented. I ended up with VSCode that I still don’t really like but it gets me what I need.
Citing two different passages from the article:

> This draft included a passage that would have forced companies such as WhatsApp and Signal to decrypt their encrypted chats upon request by the authorities for criminal investigation.

> Belgian intellectuals like Professor Bart Preneel said that "by putting a backdoor into Whatsapp, you would make it less safe for everyone".

This does not look like a solid point to me; it looks like rhetoric. Anyway:

> a backdoor - once it is built - is abused by criminals or undemocratic regimes.

It's only really had any progress pretty recently. The "Traced Act" deadlines were only a few months ago, and I assume the carriers need some time to iterate on tuning it. Or maybe the FCC needs a few months of data before they can start smacking carriers around. I wouldn't give up yet.
Military prefer young people, because they are amenable - it is much easier to change their values, habits and opinions. Socializing young people into new military values is easier and quicker then socializing old people who tend to be less flexible.

Physical strength, stamina and agility all also plays huge role.

Military does not want you angry, military wants you to obey and be easy to control. Anger makes people less controllable. They want to you to do what you are told, anger is not important.

In early 2015, Twitter discovered that the Oxford Junior Dictionary had culled dozens of words associated with the natural environment. The new edition of the dictionary — which cut terms like “acorn,”“buttercup,” and “kingfisher” in favor of adding “21st-century” terms like “broadband,” “voicemail,” “blog,” and “cut and paste”

Why the fuck would a dictionary remove those?? This makes no sense.

That's exactly the point because it's a template. I'll likely have value from it once so I'd expect to pay for it once, especially since I'd be allowed to use it on one site.

The fact that they continue to improve it doesn't matter to me because I'd not use it again.

This is hyperbole and based upon anecdotal evidence.

As a counterpoint I've been part of a company that "failed" due to overwhelming tech debt. I was one of the "lucky" few that was kept on after the redundancies in what was a shell of the former company (50 employees down to 10).

I should have left with everyone else but I had only just started at the company 3 months prior and didn't want to look like a job hopper.
Standards matter for interop, not so much for personal preference in personal environments.
You ideally want both. If you understand the performance profile of your dependencies (even if it's degraded), because you control the application you can compensate, through retries or batching or caching or request pooling, etc.

The last thing you want to be doing when an issue arises is debugging your whole stack to find the root cause while your customers sit on their hands angrily.

My general-purpose text editor (and has been, since last century) is BBEdit, but Sublime is also excellent (It handles extra-large text files better, so I use it for them). I use BBEdit because of "muscle memory." TextMate was also a big one, but I never got into it.

VSCode is excellent, but I don't think that I do enough of the kind of coding that VSCode is optimized for, to make it worth it.

One thing I'd be concerned about is lightfastness. This website

http://wilhelm-research.com/

tells the sordid story of how Kodak just didn't care about the permanence of color prints until 1980 or so. Wedding photographers would be paid $1000's for their work but couldn't get materials to make prints which would last a lifetime. Martin Scorsese lit a fire under Hollywood's ass about the permanence of films, but for that industry, keeping films in a dark freezer turned out to be a practical and permanent solution.

If you screw around with developing film with unusual chemicals I'd be concerned about how long the prints last, however black and white film where the image is really printed in silver crystals is likely to be more stable than the color film systems where the chemical changes in the silver crystals are coupled to dye systems.

When I was a kid I extracted dyes from flowers and did experiments with them and one conclusion was that they just don't last.

As a software developer I prefer to pay for my text editor.

As one of the people supporting it’s continuing existence, I think there will be more focus on what I need. For open source projects, the focus will be (and should be) on what the people putting in the time and money need.

There’s considerable overhead (in terms of optimizing workflows) to switching editors too, so just because an editor is good for today doesn’t mean it will be good tomorrow. Not that proprietary editors can’t change in a way negative for me. I just figure it’s less likely and, over time, will happen less often.

Of course, I could have the perfect editor by doing my own, but it’s orders of magnitudes less effort to pay someone $x. (Personally, I think sublime should go to a subscription model. Pay per release encourages feature bloat, which I do not want in a text editor.)

It’s a lot of work and honestly the telcos don’t care. Even if and when you do find them, what can you do? They’re calling from halfway around the world - so “impersonating a us government employee” is not a law you can enforce on a citizen of another country.

It seems easy to me, pass a law that says if a telecom can't trace the source of a call to where it entered their network, they are legally liable for the content of the call.
I am sure reusable machines exist. What I am not sure (really not sure, it may or may not be feasible) is if they can be made at consumer-level price point and with consumer limitations (e.g. no requirement for maintenance or calibration for the lifetime of the device). I imagine the professional devices cost thousands of dollars and undergo regular maintenance.
I have to agree. Most of this can already be done by something like JellyFin. But once you start branching into understanding podcast, emulators, comicbooks, & personal photos, you're no longer talking about a single app.

If your goal is organization, there are plenty of other tool specific to the individual purposes. If your goal is consumption kodi can server as a launcher to other applications. Adding the functionality is techincally possible but would require addons.

Remember your Karnaugh maps in school? Those logic diagrams where you use boolean operators to cover as large a space as possible on the map, which results in as simple as possible a boolean expression? And how much you appreciated the "don't cares" because it made it so easy?

For similar reasons, a cheap binary test for X is inevitably going to be easy to convince to give positive or negative results [1] for a wide variety of substances not considered by the test creator, because you just can't make a cheap test that tests COVID-19 and exactly and only COVID-19. Basically, every presented substance other than a correctly-done test is a "don't care". The resulting test takes advantage of this, and it will map quite a lot of things to either true or false outside of the domain of interest. I don't know if such a test would even be possible to create strictly 100% accurate, but certainly for a lot more expense we could get much closer than we do today. But we wouldn't be shipping some swabs and some strips, we'd be shipping tests where mass spectrometers would be a key component, along with a very large instruction book.

But for situations where the test is being taken in good faith, who needs that?

And the expense it would take to stop kids faking the test itself is too silly to contemplate. Instead, while the news articles didn't mention it, I'm sure where this cheating was endemic they took the simple step of making the child do it in front of them. That only raises the bar, but it'd be enough for the vast majority of the cases.

The math makes this inevitable, by the fact that the set of inputs that could be presented to a test is effectively infinite. It can't hardly be false that of the thousands of substances you have ready access to, quite a few of them will produce false positives. This is also not specific to "COVID-19", it's true of any of the simple paper strip tests. In practice, though, this is just a curiosity, not a problem.

[1]: e.g., while I don't know if this would work, if you want to fake a false test, add in some bleach to your sample. I haven't tried it and won't but I wouldn't be surprised something caustic like that would simply destroy both COVID-19 and the test itself, in relatively small quantities. If not bleach, something else.

> As for "lie-cheat-steal machines", I've personally observed it across thousands of children. It mainly happens at 11-13 years of age, middle school in the USA.

Nonesense. First, you did not personally observed thousands of 11-13 years old.

Second, 11-13 years are pretty empathetic and already have a lot of values in them. They do lie, just like most adults do, but they don't steal and don't cheat all that much. They are already building pretty nuanced value system.

Excess mortality is an useful metric. It's flaw being that our habits completely changed due to social distancing and lock down and has to be addressed somehow.

> Because of COVID or with COVID when they died?

I'm afraid this question is impossible to answer due to uncertainty but...

I - Outliers like immunodeficient and morbid obese could be excluded.

II - If you want to know the probability of someone dying due to having COVID you can use the Bayesian theorem to find it giving that you have (1) the incidence of people dying that have Covid (2) the incidence of any kind of death, (3) the incidence of Covid (lack of testing is an issue).

The phone companies standardized on a hopelessly insecure protocol in 1975, and have no financial incentive to fix it.

That’s a pretty reductive attitude towards linters. If writing Go (for example), linters will tell you if you have ineffective assignments, or have neglected to check an error value - both things that may well block releases.

While one could argue these are the job of the compiler, they are not today, and so linting during CI is not only appropriate, but practically required.

If you google "PDF Editor", PDF Exchange is not on the first three pages of results. Instead, you get the official Adobe product and other products that are all either paid or freemium. Given that it doesn't appear on the first page, how likely do you think it is the average person will discover PDF Exchange and avoid the hassle?

I find this to be pretty dismissive and insulting.

Edit: Lo and behold, PDF-XChange Editor is also a product they are charging for. It is $46.50 for a single license, and there is also a PRO version which costs more. So again, it looks like we haven't solved the "free, simple PDF editor with no upcharge like what Apple provides with Preview" problem.
There is nothing to crack. You "just" need to guess it. It is impossible for the foreseeable future with technology as we understand it today, and if it becomes possible, then a lot of other things have to change. In other words, if it ever happens, by that time BTC will have become irrelevant.

This is a call from Memphis TN with a badly formatted ANI. The format that you would recognize would be +19011700119 or (901) 170-0119. 111 or 011 are country code prefixes in the North American Dialing Plan. The "V" may mean verified (which would be an artifact of STIR/SHAKEN, ironically), if you're using XFinity/Comcast... but likely is just an artifact of a bug in the code used to set the headers. The fact that the 901 is prefixed with a 0 hints that the PBX/SBC used to place this call was configured for international use and they missed some localization settings, which could be the culprit for the weird formatting.
