We are not on the same 'side' in this conversation, but I have to issue this warning to people who are plenty of times so I'll give you the courtesy:

When people don't want to agree with you, you have to be very very careful what statements and measures you use in your arguments. Because if you're off by a factor of X, then they will take what you say as hyperbole or outright lies. I'm not sure what X is, but it seems to be somewhere between 8 and 20.

If you say that I'm lying or stupid because the numbers I'm using are off by a factor of 3, then you look like a wackadoo if you substitute numbers that are off by a factor of 20 in the other direction.

Its why I keep comparing registered dead to the US population. That number is way below the actual rate, but until we learn that people are getting COVID three times and dying the second or third time, we can't have more than 331m people who have been exposed, so actual dead divided by population is a very, very pessimistic lower bar on the ratio. If my argument holds, or is even plausible, with the worst case version of my numbers, then the argument holds, even if that means I'm lowballing the priority of any actions I propose we take.

The latter can get us into plenty of trouble, and often does. But first you have to admit there's a problem before you can get any help (I solo a lot of things that I 'know' are a problem but can't sell anyone else on, and I deal with the consequences of that, but death is hardly ever on the line.)
In my experience, a lot of the hate that PHP gets is unjustified. I can only speak from personal experience, but most people I know that complain about PHP were just burnt out from dealing with other developers' code. Having such a low barrier to entry created many novice and hobbyist PHP developers to hit the market, and start producing terrible code due to not fully understanding software development practices. I know I never had an issue with PHP, and could get work done very quickly, but once I had to start working through other's spaghetti code it burnt me out and I moved on to other languages with a bit higher barrier to entry.
> they'd only sue company X for patent violations if company X sued Google for patent violations.

That's still a problem. Suppose company X has a real innovation that is worth billions of dollars and google sues them using "bogus" patents? Most patents suck, but there are some that actually cover real innovation.

> In that Age of Browsing, you had fewer choices and you had to navigate them carefully.

Even in today's buffet world, you still CAN navigate them carefully. And it's a good mental habit to have.

I consciously watch myself and try to notice when I've failed to do this. For example, suppose I'm looking for an answer to some question on Google, and I enter my query. I can then either:

(1) look at the first 10 and judiciously choose which are worth my time to read/skim and ctrl-click to open a tab for (say) 3 of them, or

(2) aimlessly ctrl-click all and get 10 tabs to look at.

#2 feels good in a way because I'm getting more info. But #1 gives superior results. Not just because I have less to wade through, but also because somehow my mind is in a more focused, active state. #2 is a sign that my mind has checked out and is not really engaged in this part of whatever I'm doing.

This happens more in the digital/streaming world because the buffets are larger. But it's not exclusive to that. I can still fall into the trap with physical stuff. I can still go into a store and try on 10 shirts without thinking carefully about whether I like them, and since I entered the changing room in the wrong frame of mind to choose a good shirt to buy, I'm probably still in the wrong frame of mind after trying on 10 shirts.

(1) Hopefully part of raising your son to feel American involves instilling a sense of "Americanness" that is orthogonal to one's racial identity. And conversely, hopefully he could distinguish between "Chinese people in general" and "soldiers of the chinese communist party". Not that I'm defending cheesy, overly simplistic good-guys-vs-bad-guys type media, but I hope the objection is about something more than just skin deep for you.

(2) There is certainly a middle ground between avoiding cliche bad-guy-china-vs-good-guy-america and, say, Intel removing any references to Xinjiang from its shareholder report. Or all of Hollywood carrying water for the CCP, perhaps most humorously (in a depressing way) illustrated in how they will edit movies to display the south china sea / other disputed territories in precisely the way China wants

Definitely a given that American movies have comical stereotypes for "bad guys". I don't know what to say except that America's pretty divided right now. In some parts, you won't find a lot of love for Israel and the Iran nuclear deal was a good idea. It's hardly a monolith.

But I would contest this notion that China is a free market. This is not people voting with their wallets and the government often threatens direct economic retaliation against companies for even minor "infractions" of speech, like listing Taiwan as a country in a dropdown box. International companies do not have a level playing field in China, if they can legally operate there at all (e.g. joint venture requirements). Hell, even domestic companies need to watch where they step if they get too big like Jack Ma.

It is hard, but everyone gets through it (or doesn’t). I kind of like it for a filter of whether people can navigate Google/stackoverflow/friends enough to get set up.

As bad as it is, it’s still better than every other source control I’ve used (vss, clearcase, perforce, cvs, subversion, tfs, mercurial) and their services.

Any attempts to make it easier will likely make it as crappy as stuff like azure devops or other Microsoft source products.

That being said, good error messages would be great. I feel like an idiot whenever someone onboards and gets stuck and I try to remember how I set up my environment however long ago.
IIRC the companies that made the beryllium main mirror went bankrupt because the material is much more tricky then anticipated.

I think what the parent is saying is that the nameserver information coming from the registrar’s Whois may not be accurate in any way compared to what is actually in the DNS. The DNS (and, by extension, the authoritative nameservers for a domain) is, by definition, the most up-to-date source for the DNS.

Edit: registrar’s whois
They are pricing the product to align with 1 hour of a freelancers time. By saying 20 euro per month instead of 30, they increase their market to include the freelancers who work in the 20-30 euro per hour range. Not saying I agree with this logic, but this is the why they shared.
'Цовид-19' has to be one of the laziest transliterations I've ever seen. Coronavirus is spelled with an initial К in every Cyrillic-using language I'm aware of, not a Ц (ts) sound in English. It's basically a keyboard IME transliteration, since in Serbian, "c" would be the Roman equivalent of "ц".

>I wouldn't want to make hard cheeses at home, the food poisoning risk is way too high for me.

A lot of this "risk" people mention when it comes to traditional (ancient) food preservation techniques is a purely modern irrational-emotional perception, typically brought on by a once-in-a-while news report of some salmonella outbreak at an industrial-scale food manufacturer.

I see this irrational fear in circles related to homebrewing, charcuterie, pickles/sauerkraut, and more. It's unfortunate because this fear often drives people to deviate from traditional methods in ways that cause the final product to lack desirable properties like flavor, longevity, and nutrition, and can drive them to create something actually harmful to their health (like carcinogenic nitrates/nitrites in charcuterie).

I completely agree, he's lying.
At the same time, the rules are ridiculous.
I said this in my top comment but https:// also allows unauthenticated access while being encrypted, whereas git:// is unencrypted and can be MITM'd.
Problem is – he did follow "the rules".

He just had root access at the gov't COVID testing system level.

Here's a separate thought experiment too:

We've all heard stories of people faking COVID tests. E.g. people don't want to pay the price to get tested, or they can't be bothered to go get tested, so they grab an old covid test, change the date and then go to the airport. The airline representative can only do a visual inspection of the document, and most of the time they have bigger issues than making sure each covid test is valid. For example, they're not going to call the doctor's office for each test.

This seems to be what Djokovic did, fake the COVID test. Hundreds / thousands of people break the rules with fake covid tests and they don't get caught, but he fakes it once and he gets caught.

With this framing, you could in fact say that he is under even more scrutiny than the rest of us. So, not only does he have to follow the rules, he has to follow them even more than we do.

its a bit of an over used trope in fiction to me that if you kill the one person inventing a thing you stop it. think t2 and the chip. most major discoveries i have heard of in important areas had multiple people running neck amd neck.

when it comes to rebuilding a thing, i think whats important to wonder is would you even build it the same way? I remember seeing an article on ars about the engines for the Saturn 5. They took over a thousand hours of weld time at a level of skill and quantity that was built up during that time period. And they got them working via experimentation. Building the now was done differently. They 3d scanned the parts and used modern additive and cnc machining and used way less welds (one can argue additive metal is just cnc welding but I digress). And then simulated it in the computer. I remember a discussion about the baffles in the nozzle to stop pulsing in the combustion, that was figured out in destructive trials of this incredibly difficult machine. You'd do that in simulation now.

I likely got details wrong.

But it's to say that part of "they don't build em like they used to" also means "they learned". Look at bridges, they don't look like Brooklyn or Eads anymore. They used to build them with waaay too much steel.

That said roman concrete is a thing they've been chasing for a while

Nice to see Gunicorn here. While it's modelled after Ruby's Unicorn, it's actually bit more capable as it supports the multi-process & multi-thread execution model.

It even supports ASGI by specifying a particular Uvicorn
worker class and thus can remain one go-to Python application server. This is also the reason I am using Gunicorn for the examples in my book Deployment from Scratch.
I suspect you're being excessively dinged for the absolute statement that refueling will be completely unneeded.

It's fair to say that over two decades, additional capabilities will exist.

Given the advances in launch systems, both in situ assembly (large structures w/o complex packaging and deployments), and planned servicing and replaceability could mean that both arguments are true:

- We'll have bigger, more capable, and/or simply more observatories.

- Those themselves will be capable of being serviced and upgraded over their own lifetimes.

Keep in mind that one element of science that's advanced by such projects is engineering systems for space environments themselves. Vacuum, radiation, micrometeorites, station-keeping, gravitational flux and variance, materials handling (cold-welding, lubrcation, moving parts, etc.), thermal management, and design-for-servicing itself, all factor in to considerations.

It seems highly probable to me that any such servicing itself will all but certainly be robotic. At L2, speed-of-light issues are a factor as there is a one-way signal time of five seconds, long enough that direct control of physical manipulators is no longer feasible, or very slow. (Imagine that you reach for a wrench, and ten seconds later, see that your hand has actually extended and contacted it.) And putting humans in such a location, only reachable over many days or weeks, well out of Earth's magnetosphere radiation projection, would be fantastically expensive.

thousands and thousands of government employees who work at their desks pushing files around and tying stuff.

I'm trying to parse those sentences, are you saying there are space constraints with hubble? it's orbit isn't at a particularly special elevation or inclination, I'm pretty sure we could have several telescopes in the same exact orbit but half an hour behind with no discernible consequences. Even out at the lagrange points, you don't have to be /exactly/ there, many cubic kilometers of space have roughly the same properties that make it appealing for JWST.

Well there is also two other options I can see, although I cannot say how realistic/likely these are: either the researchers „guessed“ wrong and the number in the url is no unix timestamp but just some random digits. Very unlikely imho, given how close the timestamp values are, but not impossible.
The other option would be that the pcr test was indeed taken on the 16. but only entered into the system 10 days later on the 26.
not sure if that is realistic.
Not saying it’s either of these, just that we cannot disregard these options imho.
>But a LSP mostly deals with a single request at a time by a single client.

Not really —- there’s bowl of spaghetti worth of concurrency in LSP. All of the following things can happen at the same time, and they use the same state:

* several read-only requests from the client (compute completion *and* highlighting)
* write request from the client (the user typed a comment in Cargo.toml)
* write request from file system (user switched branches can Cargo.lock is now different)
* background project update (cargo metadata finished with a new project model)
* background compiler update (cargo check emitted a new diagnostic)
* updates on background “indexing” which were kicked in quiescent state

That’s significantly more logical concurrency than in a typical HTTP server, where each request is conceptually independent from every other and all the hard synchronization bits lie in the database.

To manage this complexity, csp-style APIs (async/await and blocking threads) don’t really work, as there’s too much fundamental shared mutable state. What sort-of-works (but still is complex) is an explicit actor model, where you manually code the state machine and explicitly resolve the conflicts of the style “ok, I got results from cargo metadata, so I could spawn cargo check, but I also know that the user changed Cargo.toml in the meantime, so the results of metadata are actually stale and I better re-run that”.
