Crypto exchanges almost exclusively use websockets for pushing out real-time price and orderbook changes. They provide rest apis also, but with limits that prevent bots from keeping the data as close to in sync as possible, which is important for algorithmic trading.

Whether this qualifies as a 'cool' case is probably subjective, but it is important in practice.

I'm not sure if it's as widespread, but many exchanges use websockets in the front-end to make the same data available to the site users without frequent polling.

the large rocket you're talking about has been said to possibly make that particular company bankrupt if they don't manage to ramp up their engine production soon. and the market for heavy launch vehicle is tiny. only 3 FH were flown as far as i know.

also the irony here is that the only the only client this company has now is itself to launch his telecom satellite swarm, which in turn will have a negative effect on ground observations, both in VIS and RF bands. astronomers heavily rely on ground based observations, because on the contrary to space telescope the can modify their instruments easily.

you can do a lot with other technologies, for instance diffractive lenses, chronographs as a separate spaceship, etc, etc... the best for a telescope is not always to have the biggest single piece mirror.

i know i know, i'll get heavily downvoted for the above, i just don't like that the said company test their stuff in a middle of a natural reservation.

How long is that going to last? Populations fluctuate. They shot themselves in the foot with their one-child policy.

India is also quite populous, but doesn't seem to exert the same kind of influence.
>You mean the country that manufacturers virtually everything Americans buy can’t handle supply chain logistics?

Yes, there's a massive difference in military logistics and shipping the latest knock off kitchen appliance via a third party. Global economic sanctions on China would be far more detrimental to China than the US. There's plenty of alternatives.

>You seriously don’t think the US has an interest in impressing the rest of the world with its military might? Why do you imagine we keep building aircraft carriers?

You're right, we should just declassify everything the second a contract is awarded and it enters development.

I'm talking about new R&D, not aircraft carriers. The US is very slow to unveil military capabilities on the global stage. Meanwhile China unveils their F-35 copy the second they can to try to "beat" the US.
Your son or his children might actually have to decide what side to be on eventually. IMO the US will go to war with China outside of economic and cyber warfare we have going on already.
Yep, Serbo-Croatian (technically Bosnian-Montenegrian-Croatian-Serbian) "K" for "koronavirus". The only difference between languages is Latin versus Cyrillic.

Croatia, for example has its official coronavirus webpage as https://koronavirus.hr
Lower launch costs could enable cheaper R&D for the satellite itself by enabling more testing of components in orbit rather than trying to nail the calculations ahead of time.

When you have warehouses full of them, it is better to use up the stock. If they are making new screens at that resolution I would completely agree. The price point is fairly low, but it is a very old spec from a technology standpoint.
True, but I didn't assert "it was great right up to the moment I left."

Seems a bit paradoxical how making your program cease to function for users who don't pay a fee (say $10,000) is considered fine, yet making your program cease to function entirely is widely considered a malicious act of malware distribution that results in your github account being banned.
> This is a problem with the people who make that website. They should be making their website’s code more accessible to legacy devices. Just because you don’t have a browser that can run ECMAScript 2020, you should still be able to access and use this website.

I don't follow the reasoning here. Why does the onus lie on the web developer and not on Google or Apple?
I gave up home-based SMTP in the late-90s. Some things just aren't worth it, and this is among them.
It's really expensive to get telescopes up in space. We have a lot of astronomers that could use some time on a space telescope, but launching enough to supply all of them is not economically viable in any way. Sure, the stuff hubble is currently used for is not as groundbreaking as when it was launch, but we still have use for it.

My point it is, we have so few space telescopes that even having time on an "outdated" one is still pretty valuable.

EDIT: Maybe a better example, it's not much use for a first-world person to use a ten year old smartphone, since current smartphones are much more capable and they're comparatively cheap. Planes, on the other hand, are used for decades, since simply buying a new one is very expensive. This is despite it's tech being far superior.
I honestly don't want to live in such a world. And I seriously don't understand how these types of rules aren't chilling everyone to their core.
It all depends on if I am having a bad hair day or not.

Other factor is if others have their video on or not.

I think a better measure really is lines of code. A comparison with react is _very unfair to laravel/rails_, with laravel being a full-featured framework, and yet react is still much worse:

laravel/framework:

no-dev-deps: 307,405 lines of PHP (36MB)

all-deps: 535,383 lines of PHP (58MB)

react (stock create-react-app)[1]

all-deps: 1,570,720 lines of Javascript + 96417 lines of typescript (348MB)

rails (rails new app):

(no-dev-deps): 264123 lines of Ruby + 23614 lines of C + 17009 lines of JS (55MB)

(all-deps): 332083 lines of Ruby + 23614 lines of C + 18055 lines of JS (54MB)

Can anyone explain why using websockets with anything other than a webstack is so much hard than using regular ol' POSIX sockets, given that at some level websockets live right alongside a UDP or TCP socket? When we looked around for a library to use in Ardour to add websocket support, the choices were slim and none of them provided an API as simple as the one for UDP/TCP sockets.
Is there any reason to assume this timestamp represents the time the test was taken, rather than, say, the time the certificate was generated?
Why not do both? Solar power works really well in the Sahara, but not so well in Northern Alberta. While the Sahara's emptiness is penetrated with limitless sunlight, Northern Alberta features vast, rolling plains where waste heat from nuclear plants could be used to heat homes for people escaping the burning wastes of California and BC, while generating carbon-free energy for the North American grid. Waste heat can also facilitate the chemical processes needed to extract CO2 directly from the atmosphere. You can also use nuclear waste heat to replace natural gas heating when extracting bitumen from oil sands -- arguably an activity that we ought not to be pursuing anymore, but tell that to the companies and people making their livelihood from it.
Hey, that's why we need more people! It's getting better and better all the time. And nothing really beats its ease at making conncurent web apps. But yes, if you're an IDE person, you're going to have a bad time and that is not likely to chnage any time soon (I don't think?)
The way I think about it is the standard was set by the Apollo engineers. I think many of us are familiar with the MCP and all the other cool details about the hardware of the mission, but the reality is: everybody who worked on that had previously done something similar, but for the military, and they took every bit of hard-won experience from the previous projects (ballistic missles guidance, military radar, data coding, etc) and applied it in a totally unceremonious and highly effective way.

I think the modern computing world instead is not grownup, but rather CADT (cascade attention deficit teenagers). A constant developing of new solutions that copy previous ones, but are typically worse, or have the same problems as the previous ones. This seems endemic in the industry, albiet with exceptions.
How dare you share your opinion and positive outlook about SpaceX.

I wouldn't worry about the junks, they're fake internet points that mean nothing.
It wasn't an illegal detainment. The company was working with Iran. Oh and she lived in a mansion in Vancouver throughout the whole thing. I'm sure she had endured much hardship getting a free vacation for a couple years.
A few years ago I attended a SaaS pricing discussion and two of the key insights that emerged were:

* For companies that gated based on usage, free/trial users were much more likely to make the transition to a paying customer. For companies that gated on features, free users tried to find all kind of ways to get things done without paying for the additional functionality.

* In the early days of many companies, most of the features of the product were given away for free, with just a a handful of features gated into premium plans. As companies grew, they realized that many of the features they should have gated, were now free, leaving little incentive for the users to convert.

Hopefully this helps someone.
Things that are good from OOP/Smalltalk:

Agreed. Also a fan of SpaceX, but I think NASA's approach is 100% reasonable: quietly prepare plans to take advantage of starship (see: LUVOIR) but wait until Starship is proven to do the high level push to switch.
Well I didn't look into it thoroughly, I just wondered how/why we ended up with `git://` (as I say, that's never what I use personally - I knew I wouldn't have written it - but I was to `blame` for some of them) and at least a couple that I checked linked from the list on the pre-commit site to GitHub had a copy-pastable 'add this to your config' with `git://` in the readme.
The key insight is that data is not knowledge.

We probably still have all the papers and journals and schematics and whatnot. What we don't have, however, is people with the appropriate training to make sense of those things. Without those people - without actual working knowledge of the technology - all that data is useless.
Does the east coast mainline railway pass that? It looks familiar.
You'd be missing out if you don't. China is huge and it is far more than the injustices the media always likes to portray it as. Yeah I'm mostly on the side of the media but you have to consider that China is a complex country that exploded and grew into the technological super power it is today at a speed and rate no other civilization has achieved in the history of human kind.

I mean, it's been supported since 2020 in both Firefox and Chrome.

I can see a good argument for ensuring that websites will run with no javascript whatsoever as an accessibility feature. I mean, I think at least that plain text is easier to handle for screen readers most of the time. But I don't see any obligation to support 2 year old browsers, what other updates is a 2 year old browser missing? Seems insecure.

Should the 9 year old iPad air still be supported with new browser versions? Maybe. 9 years seems beyond the norm. It would be nice if devices were required to be opened up after they lapsed into an unsupported status.

The example in your comment is not specific to China, or even to present days. If you look at the history, the media narrative aligns to the status quo.

One difference is that nowadays China gained enough political and economic power to be part of the world leaders. So companies doing business there care about not offending their audience.

Take a look how movies in the 80s depict enemies: Latin America (all narcos or corrupt), Russia or Eastern Europe (cold and ruthless KBG agents), China (mafias that love occultism or rare rituals). Besides the occasional killer, it’s rare to find a big Hollywood production that offends the US or Western Europe audience. Producers will not risk to put tons of money in a script that may be offensive or politically uncomfortable.

I know about bread cheese :) So I want to ask: where was the creamery? Where did your milk come from, did the creamery have its own animals or did it buy from an independent farmer? What milk did you most often make cheese with (I assume cow's milk?). How much milk did you transform per day, on average and how many days a week did you spend on making cheese, versus tending to cheese (like aging etc)? How did you process milk before making cheese (pasteurisation, homogenisation, etc)? What was your aging space like? And what were your customers like?

I think these will do for now :)

This seems unlikely, but if you thought that the site that you believe is github.com might be responding to you with tampered data, and you wanted to allow an independent third party to view the bi-directional traffic flowing between you and that entity, then you might want to communicate without encryption.

(it could also reduce encryption and decryption load at both endpoints, and if you have other means to enforce content integrity then the channel itself does not have to been encrypted)

I don't think it wise to presume that at all. It's little to do with wealth inequality. Especially not in the current mode. Money and wealth can both fairly readily be converted into substantial power. This is without mentioning the power laws that seem to be in place which tend towards winner take all scenarios, meaning there is a gross aggregation of power in fairly singular institutions. And when you resolve to look at the people running the institutions they're also the wealthy - this aspect is obvious, but the reality is that it yields individuals even more leverage over the system. And it's fair to assume they're working in concert, a la the invisible hand. I reckon this situates them several hundreds of orders of magnitude above their fellows.

What's worse is, by my divination at least: as a general rule, I don't find these people to be exceptional or necessarily well suited to wield such power. And I would also conjecture that the centralization of power in aspects of individual occurrence and institutions creates a behavioral uniformity, which I hypothesize necessarily leads to considerable instability ultimately creating more "too big to fail" situations which ultimately compromises the health of our polite society. And because of the immense leverage, I don't find it to be stepping out of bounds to say that it's entirely probable that our body politic is owned and operated through backroom auction of policy.

I'd also append that, from my experience, I've never seen debts factored into arguments regarding wealth disparities, but I do suppose it should be. Historically debt peonage was a considerable force. I think it would be interesting to look at the wealth distribution charts and seeing how it plays out when they traipse into the negative.
> ideas on how to improve it

- E2EE

Anecdotal personal data point: I already pay $10/mo for an E2EE note app with a passable/mediocre UX. I would easily pay up to $15/mo for a polished experience like your app seems to have, and more if it becomes part of my professional workflow.

- Android and Linux support

For personal use, you may have no issue ignoring these market segments, but it might be a hard sell for teams. One of the great thing about an app like Notion.so is that it works everywhere and you don't need to buy your team members specialized devices just to interact with the project stack.

Otherwise I'm really curious to see how you handle the transition of an infinite 2D space created on large screens to smaller devices, whether it's collapsing the space in some way, or using bespoke navigation controls.

The app digitizes handwritten content in real time, making it an excellent way to share a real whiteboard (or other surface) with remote teams. Remote participants can contribute digital content and the combined contents can be then shared/saved as needed.

There are many excellent digital-first tools out there but our goal was to bring some more reality back to our shared remote experience. There are some tasks that are simply better served by analog tools. Integrations with many existing apps are forthcoming; you can think of STB as a connector of digital/analog content.
