Is there an implementation out there of hot reload that doesn't simply automate hitting the refresh key in the browser? Because if not then this vaunted 'hot-reload' feature is a joke.

Some of the JS kiddos from my previous org were pushing this crap on me from some random React module that I can't remember and it was terrible. We had to run a second server that proxied our personal dev webserver just so the thing could send window.reload()

I constantly get indications that dig is this really powerful tool, but I must say I always find its output baffling. Granted I'm not expert on DNS but I know the basics and its still pretty damn arcane. I usually can decipher it in the end (assuming nothing too weird is going on) but I can't shake the feeling that my understanding is being obstructed by the tool here.
Just because Jared Kushner is related to Trump, and Trump is a dumb ass, it doesn't necessarily make Jared dumb. That said, many people graduate from Harvard who shouldn't have due to family connections and money. So.... yeah, in some ways Harvard is kind of a joke. It's only hard to get in, not hard to graduate from.

Same here. This is super helpful to know. I've tried to incorporate a Blackhole-Reaper workflow to apply an equalizer/compressor/limiter to video calls and have experienced odd behavior in both Firefox and Chrome which this might explain.
> silent if it happens in China.

Seems like some people insist on being loud even when it doesn't happen in China.

The entire mass internment propaganda drive was concocted on less media access to XJ than the what APNEWs article reporting of it's dismantling. China like most countries, are not US, they don't need to maintain forever prison industrial complexes. BTW the same western analysts that alleged mass internment in XJ also concluded that mass internment phase is over, with ~50k transferred to long term internment and masses back out with gen pop in an elevated security environment, but no longer interned. The persistent allegations now is that labour rural transfer programs that's been ongoing for 20+ years throughout the country is somehow coerced labour when there's no to weak evidence.
The author implies the assumption that over time, distributed data will get quicker and cheaper, like the CPU and memory on a PC.

It won't.

It can't.

The problem is that validating transactions on a blockchain must be expensive. If they were cheap, then I could spend a few bucks, take over a blockchain, and say that my transactions are the valid ones.

There's no way around this issue.
Stopping when you've finished the small task you set is a tough one for me. If I feel like I'm getting things done I want to keep going. This means I work until I can't make any more progress and give up.

If I stop after the task is done, I'll be finishing on a success rather than a failure.
The scale and intensity of the problem is much bigger though.

This one is hundreds to thousands of times further out than any of those satellites, for instance. It also has a far longer lifetime compared to the average, even before this news. Four times the distance of the moon from Earth. There's no luxury of being able to repair, service and refuel such a thing without approaching or exceeding the costs of just making a new, better one with the learnings and savings from before.
We have satellite photos, eye witness testimony and even the Chinese government admits the facilities are there but has some nonsense about the people there choosing to be in a barbed wire facility with armed guards.

Are you really suggesting keeping criminals who have had a trial and been found guilty by a jury of their peers is at all the same as a genocidal racial based campaign to remove an ethnic minority?

I mean, I get your point, but I need to refill my car at some point and there are plenty of gas stations - so why not fill it up early to take care of it?
Thank you!

Externally I'd say the community on IndieHackers has been a big help.

Second, but this came back to bite me, I asked many of my closest "colleagues" about their thoughts on pricing. All consultants within software development, which is generally priced higher than the broad average of freelancers - And this isn't intended specifically for developers, but anyone who's starting out.

A finally reading everything I could find online, like https://www.cobloom.com/blog/saas-pricing-models# - But as you can see ultimately we didn't follow these strategies too closely.
Why does Australia even have a loophole that allows PCR tests instead of vaccination, without also requiring that the person can't be vaccinated?

You'd wish the tournament could have been clearer here and just said that all athletes should be fully vaccinated, regardless of what any authorities say.

It's PR after all, and the PR of an antivaxer playing is much much worse than the PR of Novak missing the tournament.
And then you can either:

* Manage the dependency to libFoo:1.1
* Put libFoo:1.1 as a top level dependency for the project
* Exclude libFoo:1.0 as a dependency from projects that include it

There are many ways to go about this.

The key thing with this is that the dependencies are deterministic, reasonable, and repeatable.
I don’t think it’s obvious. An alternative explanation is that he does understand and doesn’t feel the need to ask a follow up because he think the next question is more valuable to ask. My sense of him is that he is deliberately trying not to do a linear technical interview and is trying to get people out of the standard pattern so you get a feel for their humanity as well as their technical mastery.

It would be easy to know what you are complaining about if you just provided an example. An episode number and time index would do.

> From looking at the downvotes on this post, I believe they are on this thread downvoting posts that no moral people should have business downvoting. Just be aware. voicing an opinion that doesn’t get upvotes doesn’t mean it isn’t agreed with.

If someone looks at this OP, you see most of the flagged and dead posts are from the few people who question the continual US anti-China (anti-Iran, anti-Cuba, anti-Venezuela, anti-Palestinian...) rhetoric. So it is pretty much all posts raging about China, with the few posts questioning this killed off, but the paranoia is about "infiltration" against the US China bashing, when anyone can just look at this whole post and see the opposite is true.

The US military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about sucks away my taxes to do evil on other lands, its propaganda organs saying US workers and taxpayers like me questioning its parasitism and belligerence is alien.

It's amusing how the US's coup de grace in Afghanistan was a massacre of innocent Afghans, and the corporate press and pundits tear their shirts we're still not there killing Afghans, yet their heart bleeds for China dealing with a terrorism problem within China. The US can go around the world and bomb whoever it wants, but China is not allowed to deal with a terrorism problem within its own borders.
It's probably worth mentioning that WebTransport just shipped in Chrome 97 (2022-01-04), which seems to be a worthy successor to WebSockets [0]. It allows for reliable and unreliable modes which is a problem for games using WebSockets, among other things.

An alternative conclusion is that the entire test certificate was faked and the bogus timestamp is the smoking gun.
I remember when people kind of looked you strange when you mentioned that you used IntelliJ instead of eclipse for Java development around 2006.
The weirdness peaked when they found out you decided to pay for the license out of your own pocket because you were tired to have to explain why eclipse was not good enough for you.
For whatever it's worth: I had a talk with a WSJ reporter, who said he's met all the FAANG chief executives, and Sundar was the least impressive of them all.

I've owned this book for ages and never gotten around to reading it. I should correct that.
How much did Sonos pay to get this article written? It's tripping over itself praising Sonos and repeating over and over that Google should pay Sonos.
> Not exactly 'independent' if >85% of all revenues is directly from Google in which when that funding was threatened by them, Mozilla caved and let go most of its staff and rushed to get that contract renewed.

That's not at all what happened. Source?

> They can't live without the money from their worst competitor.

Probably true. We could switch to a different search engine (again), but I'd imagine it wouldn't be pretty.

> I don't even think Mozilla takes itself seriously to be 'independent' or free from Google's money which that was promised by the Mozilla CEO 14 years ago.

False. (Source: I work for Mozilla.) I won't attempt a further argument here; it doesn't seem worth the attempt. I'll just say that in my daily experience, it's very very hard to detect any "evil Google overlord influence".

> So that was complete lies from them, wasn't it? Everyone knows they don't care about privacy at this point.

... I think you might be reading too much into specific complaints. I agree that you can construct a narrative out of a bunch of events that makes Mozilla look bad.

Or, you know, you could construct a different narrative.

I guess people are drawn to what they want to believe.
> Though I do not like monopolies, how did Google reach this position? Is there any kind of abuse going on? Or it is just a better product?

tl;dr REST, competition, the shift to devices, and explosion in "web apps". The market for webapps in the 90s/00s was tiny compared to today.

A brief history of web browsing from the 90s to now:

NCSA Mosaic came along. It was alright. Then Netscape Navigator came along and it ended up a bloated mess.

In the meantime, AOL appeared, and home computer users started connecting to the internet for the first time.

Then IE6 became an awful entrenched thing, and it was "ok". It gave us XMLHttpRequest [1] which gave us REST, but apart from that, it was barely updated apart from security fixes because of 'reasons', not limited to: "part of the OS", enterprise paying customers encourage MS to make it stay the same otherwise breaking poorly written web apps. Search 'box model'.

In the meantime, Firefox appeared and was progressing, but made little headway against IE. It was faster than NN, but not exceptionally so.

Vista came along, then Windows 7, along with IE 7. And Apple with Safari. Finally, there's some competition - Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and IE. Things like JQuery, CSS Zen Garden appeared along with w3c compliance scoring, and finally IE started dropping market share. Legacy "this site works best in IE6" apps and sites started becoming irrelevant to most people other than enterprise companies.

Newer sites and web apps started appearing and flipped it "we don't support IE any more", or in some cases showed a degraded site (IIRC there were ecommerce companies that actively charged you more if you surfed to their site using IE in the User-Agent string).

Chrome in 2010 was a far faster, better browser than IE bundled with Windows.

Chrome on Android, obviously now accounts for a huge percentage of online browsing.

How are you going to cancel someone if they already aren't listening to you? Gunna place thousands of calls to their employer? Mail them awful things in the mail? Un follow them? I know you were joking but come on. There's no way to cancel something external. In order to cancel them, they need to buy into your system and have shame, something the CCP does not have.
I bit and got the book, hoping for something interesting.
It’s more or less the documentation on MDN or a WS library docs rephrased.

Finally, after 60 pages of docs I can Google, there’s a section called “Scaling Websockets”, which is an interesting and challenging topic.

Turns out it’s one paragraph long, saying - “Yeah it’s hard. You should consider using Ably. Next book will cover it.”

Shameful.

This is indeed a hard problem, when you have a country like China, with a long term strategic plan and control over its companies and a country like US in which companies are more focused on keep Wall Street and media happy.

They are different in that the company is still putting seats that can have passengers into the air. That’s the point of an airport, right? Flying people. If Lufthansa wants to spend money to fly 99% empty flights, the consumer still can hop on and fly places.
There seems to be a few speculative discussions around what the author identifies as a toxic addiction to righteousness and the spread of Christianity. When considering that this phenomenon touches the whole of humanity I can't help but wonder if Christianity has been an enabler, or has in fact acted as a massive check and moderating force against some of these darker impulses that are embedded deep inside of each of us.

Having read and enjoyed the article, it seems to me that the topic is very closely related to what a practicing Christian would call the sin of pride. There are some nuances to the definition and it's worth a refresher on the details of the teaching. A good primer can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PvcynQD-ag

Also, Jesus himself has some quite direct words on this topic: https://www.bible.com/bible/compare/LUK.18.10-14
This article is not about Covid not being a threat, it's about people not knowing who to trust in a rapidly changing world with multiple actors with conflicting goals.

"Politicians lie to achieve their goals" This is hardly newsworthy.

> There is no scientific, rational justification for a continued belief that “interventions” matter. All over the world, masks and vaccine passports are failing on an unprecedented scale. How can anyone still believe they work?

I feel like this is more about a lack of trustworthy authority than that science having failed. People need to understand and appreciate the limits of science...and then you have to consider the political angle.

also not to be confused with SimulAVR which is an older project I found searching for this one

From your first link:

> NASA's budget peaked in 1964–66 when it consumed roughly 4% of all federal spending....In 1973, NASA submitted congressional testimony reporting the total cost of Project Apollo as $25.4 billion (about $156 billion in 2019 dollars).

I wonder if there also wasn't that level of waste at that point but not too many people cared because the country was mostly terrified by the USSR and wanted to win.

Ironically, I think the more we think there's corruption and waste, the more that may lead to corruption and waste, as we distrust and defund and discourage. Again, I imagine some of the waste comes from the fickle attitude that some of the public and lawmakers have towards funding these orgs.
Disclaimer: I work for Ably. I agree in principle, so the libraries that handle websockets and also fallback transports using comet (eg SocketIO) are still widely used for that reason, and the commercial pub/sub service providers generally also support comet fallbacks. However, we now find that it is really very rare that clients are unable to use wss.
>Yep, I've seen a few people chucking around phrases like "designed by nature" which are both wrong and confusing.

That's me chucking that phrase and I am telling you there's good reasoning for it. Think about it. How do I differentiate between the human hand and a rock? Do I say:

The human hand is a low entropy configuration of atoms that is very efficient at grasping things while the rock is a high entropy configuration of atoms that is not efficient at grasping things.

OR do I say...

The human hand is designed to grasp things the rock is not.

See. One sentence just rolls off the tongue better but I guess I have to get into the technicalities otherwise people are confused.

Either way, People like to get into linguistic debates on the definition of a word without realizing that it's a trap. Nothing profound is actually being discussed when we're just talking about how to properly use the word "design." Think about it... you're just debating about the proper definition of a vocabulary word.

Granted I'll tell you it's an effective trap. People get into these debates without realizing how pointless it all is. The famous debate is "What is life?" Well if you want to argue about that you have to realize that the word "life" is loaded and ambiguously defined. Attempting this argument is simply trying to demarcate the complex boundaries of the word. It's simply an attempt to add more bullet points and rules to an overly complex vocabulary word.

How about we stop arguing about vocabulary.

>We, as a species, are not "finished" in any way or "more evolved" than other species. There is no destination evolution as such.

Where did this come from? I don't see anyone making that argument. Sure we can as a species can start ingesting gasoline and likely with enough time and natural selection we could involve into a gasoline eating species.

This does not change the fact that there is meaning to the sentence: "Humans are not designed to eat gasoline." Guess the intent of my usage of that sentence without getting pedantic and try to express and convey the same intent without the use of the word "design" or "purpose."
What a load of garbage. There is a legitimate security reason to differentiate between standard SMS messages and iMessages. I for one like knowing whether the person Im texting is using Android(meaning all my texts are intercepted by the carrier and/or police), or if theyre using an iPhone(meaning all my texts are securely encrypted).

Google seems to place a greater importance on teenager's feelings than communication security.

I'm not one of those physicists, mind you. I think keeping all the problems substantively in liquid or solid phase gives us a better chance than automatically pumping them in gas form into the atmosphere. not to mention the transport efforts go from a daily coal train per powerplant to a single semi every 18 months. All the logistics up stream similarly impacted. I'll grant it's not as straight forward as disassembling and then burning a mountain in west virginia every few years, but the over all footprints way smaller.

The radioactive problems as they are, they're still better than the chemical ones from coal plants, if we'd decided to change history in the 40's and replace all the nuclear plants with coal ones we'd have killed millions[0] more people more subtly.

If I understand correctly, websockets is a thin layer on TCP that does buffer data so that the application get the whole message instead of chunks. I recommend using wss to secure the websocket so that it can't be hijacked, then you don't need to send a token in each message and can do an application layer handshake once. Basically the first websock message from the client would be an authentication message with a password, token or what not.
I miss being able to put a traditional menu bar next to the URL bar (and with the "Help" menu removed). I've trimmed the excessive whitespace with custom CSS, but it still wastes more vertical pixels than it used to do several years ago. There's no reason the URL bar needs to stretch all the way across the screen. Human-readable URLs are not that long, so the space could be put to better use.
This is basically the Canada problem: we have tough rules for 95% of people, but we exempt 5% from it, so every variant quickly ends up here uncontrollably anyway.

Windsor Ontario has something like 1000+ health care workers commuting to the Detroit area that have been exempt from most entry test/vaccination/quarantine requirements. Same for truckers and flight crews and ~30 other groups.

I think this is only changing next week with an actual vaccination requirement.

If you want to go for covid-zero, go for it, but if you half-ass it, you get all the disadvantages without any of the advantages.
One way to opt out of the brownout would have been to switch to new Auth back in September of last year. Or November of last year after the first brown out.

Because the next brownout is permanent - and that will be an even bigger PITA.

I think it's extraordinarily powerful to have these brownouts for organizations that don't make the change when they should have (which was last year).
It's a gamble. I'd rather benefit from all the readily available medical science developments before I get infected. In Europe getting infected is generally only valid for 180 days for travel. From what I know only Hungary would grant longer recovery certificates based on an antibody test.
