An argument I'd like to see a little more is one that argues that the Roman Empire actually 'fell' in the Crisis of the Third Century. This seems to account for many of the continuity arguments and catastrophe arguments at the same time (although my understanding is that the economic cataclysm actually happens relatively late--I'm sure this will be addressed in Part III, though): the post-Roman states are largely continuous with the post-Crisis Roman norms, although on a much smaller scale due to the loss of state capacity.
I'd also recommend Mary Beard's book SPQR [1].

>Natural immunity from which strain and how long ago?

Doesn't matter. If you have already take the vaccines, it is my opinion that it is better to get the omicron variant and have natural immunity, (unless of course you are particularly vulnerable).

Your point that vaccinated people take up less beds is exactly right. Omicron is a highly contagious, weak strain and would provide and amazing opportunity for mass natural immunity, without the fear of hospitalization and death.

all servers in a datacenter have this management interface (iLO is just one type).

if the management network these sit on is poorly secured (like here) your servers are literally powned.

I'm not redefining gender characteristics or anything of the sort. I'm genuinely curious how biological sex, which is physically based, is discarded in favor of a description of an idea of gender that only exists in the mind. "Sex at birth" implies that the biology can change after birth, which it cannot. To me, it seems that it's not in good faith to categorize "trans women" only as "women" and reject the idea that they can be categorized as "men" at all.

And yes, I asked the mods to delete the story because obviously a lot of posts have been getting flagged. The story appears to be causing a lot of strong responses either for or against Giggle, its community, and its owner. It's simply not resulting in constructive discussion. I mean, you're even accusing me of "ignoring facts" (?) and of being an "anti-trans troll".

So, you'd just like people to provide this material to you for free -- as well as the engine that lets you find them.

Me, I googled "how cuckoo clocks work" and got a page full of answers. Some of them are sites selling parts, but the specific pages answer the question. Who would I expect to have that information, aside from the people selling the parts?

One, of course, is Wikipedia, which would have been my first stop anyway. It's the best site for generic "learn about X" questions on most topics.

The way I see it, the alternative to an ads-based internet is no internet at all. Or at best, a vastly smaller one -- not just smaller because fewer people wanted to put up their content for free (and having to pay for the hosting), but even smaller because it would lose its status as the go-to place to do anything at all.

Maybe it's just because I'm of exactly that age where I wasn't born with the Internet but it hadn't yet become so commonplace as to feel like an entitlement. I'm constantly amazed at how much I can get for free, or at the cost of a small bit of attention.

I'd just as soon find a better way than ads, but nobody has perfected that kind of micropayments -- the $.02 that I'd be willing to pay for reading somebody's blog page, if and only if it turned out to be interesting. I'm glad we've gotten past the point where pages were unreadable because the ads were so very impolite. The compromise seems reasonably good to me.
I'm just curious, because to me it seems a little bit unrealistic.

How do you handle traffic spikes, especially from the networking point of view? What kind of connection do you have? How do you make your service as fast for all customers around the world (saying you have a succesful Saas). How do you prevent a local blackout from taking down your service? Where do you store your backups, in case your building gets flooded or your machine blows up? What would you do in case a malicious process takes over the machine? These are some things that are managed in a cloud environment.

I understand investing in a datacenter rack where you own your hardware, if you have the skills, but running it in a home office cannot support a successful business nowadays IMO.

I find it very similar to how understanding of OS and hardware fundamentals can make one a much better software engineer, how infrastructure in the cloud/servers are setup helps make better design decisions.

Then the problem really is the car drivers that expect you to keep off what they think is their road, even if that puts you in danger (that expectation is given official support by the segregated bike path).
If I am riding in a narrow lane I ride in the center of the lane. If they don't like it they can suck it up. I don't like their smelly fumes either or their horn blowing for that matter. The problem is a society that gives all the privileges to car drivers.
I agree, but currently Docker on Mac is more about building/testing your server infra on your macOS dev machine before deploying it to Linux where it actually runs as "lightweight" containers.

Regardless, would still be great if we had native macOS container support!
Anti-virus is a scam. Same as anti cheat and DRM. It's a bandaid that only works for already known and databased attacks. You can simply modify how the virus is packaged and have it no longer detected.

The true solution really is app review in the case of mobile apps. Google has the power and money, they just don't care.
containerization won't just help in the server-space. It has use-cases in app development like CI.

Show HN: We need funding for what we have developed over years, how ask?
I use pipx for this. It isolates each tool in its own virtualenv. You might still have to install a specific Python version (although the latest 3.X works fine for me), but it takes some of the pain out of the process and makes sure you don't pollute your global/system install.

On a Mac, it could be as simple as (assuming you already use Homebrew):

brew install python
brew install pipx
pipx ensurepath # adds ~/.local/bin to $PATH
pipx install <tool>
<tool>
So: arbitrarily and without warning.
Crazy how we can have such different experiences. I follow less than 100 accounts and easily 50% of the responses are always spam/scams. It makes Twitter almost unusable for me.

The most ironic part is that Twitter will show the spam/scams, but hide other replies, from real people, that Twitter thinks are mean.

As soon as the owner of the bot made Elons DM public, he guaranteed he’ll never get paid a penny.

Now that it is publicly known that there is value to it then there is a financial incentive for someone else to make a bot too. This coupled with the fact that the data it’s based upon is public means anyone can make one.

If a deal had been struck privately and the bot had quietly went offline then there’s a chance nobody would have noticed or cared enough to make a replacement.

Pre-Industrial Societies: Anatomy of the Pre-Modern World ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/1780747411/ ) presents serfdom as one outcome of a battle between the head of state and local nobility that was common across societies, with serfdom being what the nobility wants and freeholding being what the head of state wants. The analysis is that each side wants peasants to have the status that makes tax collection easier for their side.

Interestingly, those positions have reversed in the modern day, with the analogue of serfdom -- W2 employment -- heavily favored by the state, and the analogue of freeholding -- employment as a contractor -- preferable to employers (who mostly lack the power to implement it over the state's objection).

> I can invest in a $3000 PowerEdge server with much better hardware

And when some component of the server fails, your app is unavailable until you can repair it. So you need another server for redundancy. And a load balancer. And a UPS. And a second internet connection.

If your app is at all critical, you need to replicate all of this at a disaster recovery site. And buy/run/administer DR software.

And hardware has a limited lifespan, so the $3000 was never a one-time investment.

I think there is often still a case to be made for self-hosting but the numbers are not as rosy as they seem at first glance.
I know of a couple of medium-sized bridges in upstate NY that have completely collapsed and the state has just abandoned them, with some barriers thrown in front and that's it.

I have mixed feelings. On paper I agree with you, people should start with POSIX shell. In practice I'm not sure how relevant that is anymore. I'm not really convinced bash should be the default thing people learn, but I think there's a decent argument that people should just start off with the shell they're going to actually use. You should, however, be aware that there is a distinction, and if you're learning/writing bash and not POSIX shell you should specify /bin/bash not /bin/sh. But you don't necessarily need to know all the nuances of how bash differs unless you have a need to write POSIX compliant shell.
It does require care to compare true equivalents but consider what fraction of your house’s land goes to a driveway, parking, etc. and if you have a garage, shed, etc. how much you pay to build that, maintain the structure and roof, etc.

My point really isn’t that it’s innately terrible but that it’s mostly hidden so people think of it as free. Exposing the total cost makes it easier for everyone to reconsider, which is good because climate change means we’re all going to be forced to make changes.
I'm curious to see what scientists the community here holds us. I'm looking specifically for scientists currently working today, not necessarily the historical giants.

I'll add mine: The work of Laurent Ballesta and others studying shark interactions is fascinating to me. His work really underscores how little we understand of the natural world around us, and how stereotypes of a species are often very wrong.
FWIW, I recently switched from an Intel to an M1 Macbook, and found shared volumes with Docker Desktop were unusably slow (previously, I'd used VirtualBox host docker and shared files into it via NFS).

I have a pet idea for car doors to make the right thing easy, a Poka Yoke. Invert the door handle and cut out 180 degrees and place it abreast of the drivers chest, so the driver will have a tough time using his closer hand, but he can cup his other hand to slide up and open the handle. The door will open a crack, allowing driver to hear stuff, and exposing reflective markings and lights to warn people behind. The handle forces the Dutch reach, and the door design allows warning time even if driver is oblivious.
I think you're right. I got confused because he talks about compiling to WASM; I'm not knowledgeable about WASM but a language server is an entirely separate process, which means you can compile your Rust to native x86 or whatever you want. I assume Rust compiled to native machine code is faster than WASM? I guess the one advantage of WASM in that case is that you don't have to compile the language server for every platform the extension runs on. (In my case, I compile the language server for x86 Linux and Windows.)

>Opposition to Gab has nothing to do with politics

>[...] is not a legitimate "political viewpoint".

Can you apply this on the other side as well? eg. "believing that people don't deserve property rights (ie. communism) is not a legitimate 'political viewpoint'".
I think the problem here is that it's very hard to enforce and requires everyone to open car doors in an unintuitive way. What would be better is an automated system, say something that flashed the rear lights and made a sound before the door opened. Then you would have 100% compliance and people could still open doors in the way that they are accustomed to (which will probably happen anyway).

This really is a case where a technological solution is superior to a behavioral solution, and this often happens in the realm of safety. E.g. instead of demanding that drivers give proper distance to cyclists, what we really need is a separate grade that enforces a proper distance. One is a poor substitute for the other, and when you are talking about safety, you want the technical solution over trusting that everyone will voluntarily always do the right thing to avoid an accident.

Consider that most of these photographs were (probably) taken with a relatively large device that is cumbersome to set up and requires an absurd (by modern standards) amount of light to get a usable image. If you account for the "convenience" of modern digital photography, the difference is significantly less (though still real, in my opinion.)

Devices we have now that fit in our pockets can display a good photo almost instantly. Comparably sized modern cameras (digital medium format) given the same control of conditions (staging, access, models, lights, post-processing, etc) will certainly produce results comparable to, "better" than, or possibly indistinguishable from even the best of these older photos.

> Second, VE [vaccine effectiveness] associated with newly emergent variants, including Omicron, was not assessed.

Insofar as the Omicron variant is the dominant strain, it leaves open the question of VE *today*. There's reason to expect improvement in VE of a 3-dose strategy over a 2-dose strategy, but perhaps the magnitude of the Δ would be less. Hard to say.

It's the difficult thing about studying vaccine efficacy with this virus: by the time the study has recruited enough participants, enough time has elapsed to measure an effect and the data are analyzed and published, a new variant emerges that casts uncertainty on the applicability of the data.

They will, however, be seeing significant economies of scale. A suburban street with 20 houses on it has similar maintenance costs to an urban block but the latter expense can spread across hundreds of taxpayers and living in a city means they need less parking because many people don’t need a personal car to function.

The industry does fetishize large node counts and doesn't pay enough attention to per-node performance, or have a good sense of what is a reasonable resource footprint for a given task.

On the other hand planning for >1 node pushes you towards properties that are desirable for other reasons than scalability per se, such as a stateless app tier with a separate database, zero downtime deployment, incremental rollout, and change management by some less cowboyish means than interactive SSH. For those reasons I would probably prefer to start with something like N=3.

Also, when it comes time to increase complexity budget and spend innovation tokens, people would often be better served by making a simple deployment topology multi-region than by making a single region very complex. Separate failure domains are great!
