HTTPie does not support multi-valued keys in query strings (sending several field[]= for example). It is very annoying and, for consistency, I would rather use cURL (instead of mixing syntax with HTTPie).
This is very true, the costs and performance impacts can be significant if your architecture isn't designed to account for it. And sometimes even if it is.

In addition, unless you can cleanly survive an AZ going down, which can take a bunch more work in some cases, then being multi-AZ can actually reduce your availability by giving more things to fail.

AZs are a powerful tool but are not a no-brainer for applications at scale that are not designed for them, it is literally spreading your workload across multiple nearby data centers with a bit (or a lot) more tooling and services to help than if you were doing it in your own data centers.
Power of good old bash scripts. Nicely done. Of course as another poster mentioned, we have the hnreplies.com service as well. But what's the fun in that when you can hack your own :)
I changed the title from "Can We Really Be Friends with an Octopus?" to "When octopuses are social with humans, are they reaching out or simply reacting?" (the subtitle, more or less) in the hope of avoiding shallow comments like this. (A comment reacting purely to information, or lack of information, in a title is pretty much shallow by definition.)

Since that didn't work, I guess it's time to look for some more representative phrase from the article text.

Edit: ok, I've combined two phrases from the article to try to that. Commenters: please discuss the actual material now.
If you want an interesting and distinct Baptist set of beliefs and practices, the Primitive Baptists are fascinating. They were a prominent group of Baptists in the early part of the nineteenth century in America, but their resolution not to embrace the missions movement cost them much popularity. Calvinist in the broad outlines of their theology, but a lot of significant differences that I think are a little more intellectually consistent. There are still a small number out there.

You can buy brand new 20MHz Z80s, but with the multiple clock cycles per instruction they'll still be slower overall than a 20MHz AVR.

The later chips in the 8-bit family are much more power efficient; I built an eZ80 board whose total power budget is 500mA including SD card and Ethernet module. It runs at 50MHz, but performance isn't really the reason we muck around with 8-bit CPUs, right? :)

Respectfully, philosophy has nothing to do with this.

The argument that the other person made does, in fact, hold significant water. There are extremely long discussions about it on the Typescript GH repo.

.

> The argument is that most TypeScript features don't actually spit out JavaScript code and this one does.

No, it isn't.

.

> then "extra" JavaScript code is still being generated

I never said extra code was a problem. I have no problem with this.

What I said was that I found the code emitted by the enumeration stack to be problematic. You seem to have inferred cause (incorrectly.)

.

> Why should we care who generates the code?

Do you believe that I think a compiler should not generate code?

I never said anything of that form.

Genuinely, it's difficult to hold a discussion with people who read so deeply between the lines that they come to bizarre conclusions, then think those conclusions belong to the person on the other end of the wire.

.

> This argument only works when we're comparing to writing a string literal union type and no other supporting code for that type.

You're not talking about the same argument that I am.

.

I write documentation.
What people experience as positive does not need to be that. Using alcohol to not/postpone/avoid solving an underlying problem for unhappiness would be an example.
I really feel like you would benefit from learning more about what life was like before the advent of social safety nets. What charity there was was woefully insufficient for the need, and one often only qualified if they were of a particular religious group. Mostly, people were at the mercy of their family. I know that sounds like a 'good thing' but go read biographies of the time. People were forced to endure horrific abuse by their close or extended families simply because they had no where else to go.

The state providing it's citizens a basic foundational safety net is a good thing. There are tons of things that have broken down social cohesion, but safety nets are not one of them. Have a look at the scandi countries.
> Also, how can Pfizer claim that their "study" ends in 2023?

Long-term studies are common. We still study Tylenol to this day, for example, to monitor for things like "does it interact with newly approved drugs".
Good but no TLS. I don't know how I feel about this...
Cool question, never thought about it! I'm not a physicist, but hopefully will be able to point at the right direction.

Guess the short and boring answer is that we don't really know if GR applies at the scales of electrons (or to be more specific, how to apply it), so perhaps the notion of black hole doesn't even make sense, at least conventional sense.

If you try speculating about it, there are some interesting points to ponder:

1. We know that black holes should evaporate via Hawking radiation. If you substitute electron's mass in the formula here [1], you get that electron mass black hole should evaporate in 6 * 10^-107 seconds. Clearly we don't see electrons doing that :) (however note that this formula assumes Schwarzschild solution, more about it further)

2. When you reason that if you narrow down electron's radius sufficiently, at some point is has to become a black hole, you kind of implicitly assume that it behaves according to the Schwarzschild metric [2]. This minimum radius at which you'd reason it's a black hole, would be the Schwarzschild radius. However, electron also has charge and angular momentum. Spin is quite different from a bunch of stellar stuff rotating around its axis, and I don't remember the derivation of GR solutions for spinning matter, but if we do speculate here anyway, still feels like we'd need to use the Kerr-Newman metric, which takes charge and angular momentum into the account [3]. If you use that metric, it's not the case anymore that any object with sufficiently small radius could form an event horizon -- if it has enough charge or angular momentum, it won't, so the electron won't be a black hole! However in a sense it only makes things works -- it exposes a naked singularity which we also don't seem to observe. P.S. the article also references "black hole electron" [4], didn't know it was a thing!

3. P.S. I also found this [5], which argues that even if you assume Schwarzschild radius for an electron, at this scale it's possible that the electroweak symmetry is restored, and the electron starts appearing massless. Can't say I'm fully able to follow this argument, so will just leave it here

To add, there is a nice documentary here[1] which also has a followup[2] that show even more of the issue at hand. Kids making games and only getting 24.5% of the profit is one thing, but everything else that Roblox does is much worse.

Thanks a lot for this exposure!

Anyway I feel there is something missing and I cannot exactly say what it is. Maybe it is simply something cultural that is not so easily graspable from those living somewhere else, it always feels so strange to me that a small town has so much freedom to shape its law enforcement so freely… for me a shared law across the state is the basis for equality, and to have a shared law you need to enforce it similarly.

Thanks again :)
Yes! Cities need wider streets, more parking lots and cheaper ones, less enforcement, fewer places where drivers have to yield to pedestrians, higher speed limits, and fewer traffic lights and stop signs! Driving around in a city is such an unpleasant chore, that many of these things would be a huge help.
TLS please?
How could it possibly not be?
> I’d also probably be still using a lot of questionable language

All sorts of cultures, online and off, involve members policing the ingroup for transgressions against the internal culture.

Language isn't "questionable", its usage is. There's no such thing as a bad word.

The culture of the internet (and, as a subset, that of 2022 mass social media in the english-speaking world, which is itself a subset of internet mass social media) is mostly not because of the internet, but because of the participants and the state of the wider world. The internet isn't responsible for wokeness, it's just the medium through which this particular human culture phenomenon travels.
It's quite the paradox that people are off doing weird stuff but they have no bootloader. The pmOS page refers to U-Boot like it exists and people seem to be working on the SoC and eink display at the rate they can.

Most other devices are consumer released so you get an old kernel that gets everyone at the top of the stack going right away, but then blocks mainlining since no one can correctly claim authorship of the implementation for the process of porting and fixing it.

> Senator Dianne Feinstein criticized the bill and said that it targets a "small number of specific companies," and Senator Alex Padilla said that it was difficult to "see the justification for a bill that regulates the behavior of only a handful of companies while allowing everyone else to continue engaging in that exact same behavior."

This bill should pass but that’s also a good point.

More fundamentally there should be a bill that affectively taxes the top 10% of companies in all industries and credits the bottom 25%. Call it an innovation bill. In addition the bottom 25% percent should get discounts on all licensing fees charged by the top.

More generally our government should use financial incentives and disincentives for creating the behaviors we want.

>Some core Roblox services are using Consul’s KV store directly as a convenient place to store data, even though we have other storage systems that are likely more appropriate.

Yeah, don't use consul as redis, they are not the same.
Right, I know this to be true. But it's one thing for someone to infer that it causes harm, but it's another thing if they legally say this is the case.
My category for AI is based on "popular perception", not necessarily an actual comparison to what humans can or can't do. Most humans don't know how to multiply complex numbers, but that doesn't mean doing so demonstrates human-level intelligence and decision making.

In the specific case of cruise control, I don't think maintaining speed accurately is typically viewed as "difficult" for a computer today, so it would be deceptive to refer to as AI. 100 years ago that may have been different.
LIBOR is not a rate, it’s a series of rates across different currencies. Rates are numbers though so I’m not sure what distinction you are trying to draw.

If employees are just "resources", then they can obviously only have the same responsibility towards the employer to make themselves redundant as any other resource has.

So please drop this line for now, and get back to us the next time a brick, a hammer, or a forklift truck takes such an initiative.
Yes. If you are running in two zones in the hopes that you will be up if one goes down, you need to be handling less than 50% load in each zone. If you can scale up fast enough for your use case, great. But when a zone goes down and everyone is trying to launch in the zone still up, there may not be instances for you available at that time. Our site had a billion in revenue or something based on a single day, so for us it was worth the cost, but it not easy (or at least it wasn't at the time).

You potentially get a problem for every '.' expression. In this code:

import {Something} from './file';
console.log(Something.PROP);

TypeScript doesn't know what to emit without type information. If Something is a class, then the JS will look the same. But if it's a const enum, then TypeScript has to erase the Something.PROP expression and replace it with the constant value of that enum member, since Something will not exist at runtime.

And that's a reasonable decision for an adult to make, and if they were targeting an adult developer community.

I don't think anyone objects to adults making that choice over say, using Unity or Unreal, and targeting other platforms.

In practice, explaining to my son who is growing into an avid developer why I won't a) help him build on Roblox, or b) fund his objectives of advertising and promoting his work in Roblox (by spending Roblox company scrip) on the platform has necessitated helping him to learn and understand what exploitation means and how to recognize it.

It's a learning experience for him, and a challenging issue for me as a technically proficient and financially literate parent who actually owns and run businesses related to intellectual property. It's got to be much more painful for parents who lack in any of those three areas.

No. You cannot teach those things, without providing grounds for someone to sue you.

You cannot teach the above topics, without talking about the races of the oppressor, and the oppressed, and if you talk about white people being the oppressors then little Johnny fifth grader's parents can sue, saying that they feel discomfort at the idea of little Johnny being taught that white people were the ones owning black people.

That is the intent of the law, and pretending that it isn't is a clear indication of argument in bad faith.
That’s what stood out to me too. Although they’d been slowly rolling it out for awhile, their last major rollout was quite close to the outage start:

> Several months ago, we enabled a new Consul streaming feature on a subset of our services. This feature, designed to lower the CPU usage and network bandwidth of the Consul cluster, worked as expected, so over the next few months we incrementally enabled the feature on more of our backend services. On October 27th at 14:00, one day before the outage, we enabled this feature on a backend service that is responsible for traffic routing. As part of this rollout, in order to prepare for the increased traffic we typically see at the end of the year, we also increased the number of nodes supporting traffic routing by 50%

Consul was clearly the culprit early on, and you just made a significant Consul-related infrastructure change, you’d think rolling that back would be one of the first things you’d try. One of the absolute first steps in any outage is “is there any recent change we could possibly see causing this? If so, try rolling it back.”

They’ve obviously got a lot of strong engineers there, and it’s easy to critique from the outside, but this certainly struck me as odd. Sounds like they never even tried “let’s try rolling back Consul-related changes”, it was more that, 50+ hours into a full outage, they’d done some deep profiling, and discovered the steaming issue. But IMO root cause analysis is for later, “resolve ASAP” is the first response, and that often involves rollbacks.

I wonder if this actually hindered their response:

> Roblox Engineering and technical staff from HashiCorp combined efforts to return Roblox to service. We want to acknowledge the HashiCorp team, who brought on board incredible resources and worked with us tirelessly until the issues were resolved.

i.e. earlier on, were there HashiCorp peeps saying “naw, we tested streaming very thoroughly, can’t be that”?

It's been basically 2 years since I've had a drink.

Before then, I drank socially-- a couple times per year I'd get buzzed with friends. Not all my social outings were buzzed.

But those hazy memories of being buzzed withe friends are little treasures that bring me smiles even long removed from them. My life is richer, and my mental health better, by virtue of hanging out with people this way and I miss it (this is a casualty of COVID).

Many memories of sober moments with friends bring joy, too. But they're qualitatively different things. I want both.

> A SIM card with a 4G data plan. I bought a SixFab SIM and used their monthly pay-as-you-go service for testing. You could pull out the SIM from your mobile phone (on most carriers at least) but that is a bit inconvenient as your phone won't get service until you put the SIM back in. You could also get a plan and SIM from any major carrier (e.g. AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon in the USA)—though you have to make sure the carrier you use works with the LTE modem you have!

As an aside: You should pull out the SIM from your mobile phone anyway, and use a VPN hotspot instead (and connect your phone to that with Wi-Fi). The carriers are monitoring all of your unencrypted DNS traffic (and your unencrypted SNI traffic that starts all of your TLS/SSL connections that says to which hostname you're connecting) and selling it, alongside your phone number and name. Use a hotspot that supports a VPN so you're only sending VPN traffic across a mobile carrier network.

(This is why T-Mobile in the US is now blocking Apple's "Private Relay" encrypted service and are complaining loudly - it's costing them sniffing-data-resale revenue.)

Same goes for the Pi: make sure you run a VPN client so you're only sending encrypted traffic across the wwan0 interface. Verify with 'tcpdump -i wwan0'.

>The BMJ supports vaccination policies based on sound evidence. As the global vaccine rollout continues, it cannot be justifiable or in the best interests of patients and the public that we are left to just trust “in the system,” with the distant hope that the underlying data may become available for independent scrutiny at some point in the future. The same applies to treatments for covid-19. Transparency is the key to building trust and an important route to answering people’s legitimate questions about the efficacy and safety of vaccines and treatments and the clinical and public health policies established for their use.

Serious question: if the raw data could potentially undermine public trust in the US government, can it be classified as a matter of national security?

Remember that the original vision for the web was not made for companies, but for academic or government institutions.

The idea was to have computers support users, not customers. These words have become synonyms but they have quite different implications. The stated goal was to augment the human intellect, for which you need a well organized corpus of knowledge (think Wikipedia, whose spectacular growth and supporting community came from not being a commercial initiative).

But nowadays the whole industry is focused around building products and services that can be packaged and sold, to the point that its professionals can't even think of any other possibilities when discussing the characteristics of the ecosystem.

Incentives are completely different; it's no wonder that interests of industry are misaligned with actual needs of the final users.
