This brings back memories. I once failed an interview because an interviewer asked me how a certain API could be implemented and I suggested that you could send a body with a GET request. My thinking at the time was that, even though unusual, Elasticsearch does this (2016: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/16024#issuec...) and it might be easier to cache than POST but I could tell that the interviewer wasn't happy with my reponse.

Glad that a QUERY method will be provided instead, and I learnt my lesson about giving against-the-grain responses to interviewers.

Is that something only available to paying subscribers?

I've never even had a YouTube login, but the few channels I access fully via the web interface only ever spam me with YouTube Premium offers for eliminating ads.

There's zero offering/marketing of direct-to-creator subscriptions, not that I've seen.

There's also zero chance of my buying YouTube Premium, but a non-zero chance of my giving money exclusively to the specific creators I value - even if YouTube took something along the lines of a haircut for making just those channels ad-free.

Hopefully the difference is clear.
UDP is not required for real-time communication. I have 5k+ concurrent channels of RTP over TLS (not DTLS) going most of the day. If you solved a throughput problem by switching from TCP to UDP, it means you had a middle-box doing bad things.

TCP is not slow unless you encounter congestion or packet loss. But you have to deal with those problems if you're sending data over UDP.

> Considering there is no revenue at all right now, and he’s likely spending thousands on hosting, he was probably dying to offload it.

Thousands?

It's a 60kb Javascript file, seems quite static to all users, and appears to be cached and delivered from CloudFlare. I don't think their free accounts have bandwidth limits, just feature limits, so... it's probably more "pennies" on hosting than "thousands." Given the popularity of it, it's a good bet that it's almost always in the CF cache, so very few requests going through to the origin.

This is more of a "You could host it on a home ISP" type project with how well caching systems handle it. Or toss it in a Google Cloud Storage bucket, which has reduced egress fees to CF and it'll still be constantly cached.

Nothing I see indicates it's the slightest bit expensive to host.
It's not the same thing, to be sure, but this is certainly deception.
>...so I'm not sure shortages and hoardng are fair to ascribe to the policy.

Before all these price gouging laws, in natural disasters there used to be marginal producers (people with a pickup truck etc.) who would load up on some supplies like ice etc. and bring them to the area that was hit to make a quick profit. When the electricity is out and someone wants $12 a bag for ice it would anger you if you just want to keep your drinks cold, but you would think it is an incredible bargain if that way you can keep your insulin chilled:

https://www.econlib.org/library/Columns/y2007/Mungergouging....

In the long run, high profits during a shortage also mean that suppliers in general will be incentivized to keep a larger stockpile of goods that have a good shelf-life since they know they will be able to make good money the next time there is a shortage (more than the storage costs). (Or the potential for high profits will incentivize spending money to be more flexible in production in case demand increases for a short time.)

If you are going to literally make it illegal to try this, then you better have a government be willing to spend its tax dollars on creating a stockpile - when the pandemic started we saw that all the talk of the national stockpile the federal government supposedly had was greatly exaggerated.

While politicians like 'price gouging' laws since everyone can see a higher price (but can't see the missing products that won't be available), a majority of economists are opposed to 'price gouging' laws. For example see:

Nonsense, the exchange rate has been five nickels to the quarter for as long as I've been alive!

Bit of a joke but not really. Bimetallism is an attempt to harmonize two mediums of exchange, and it's worked well enough at various times.

Combines well with a bit of seignorage: not so much that the coins don't have value, but enough that they trade above the melt value of the metal.

If the sovereign says "pay taxes with a 90% silver coin with my face or the same weight of pure silver, don't care", and has the muscle to compel citizens to do it, this puts some slack in the actual exchange rate between gold and silver: one or the other has to exceed the debased rate, rather than the natural rate, for melting to be the rational move.

The normal explanation is money is a lubricant for the economy, as the economy grows so must the money supply or you get deflation. On top of that some percentage of physical money is lost or destroyed every year. Picture what would have happened if the exact number of bills in 1922 where in use in 2022.

That said there are a lot of different short vs long term effects.
This seems more like something to calm investors rather than interest in taking the IP anywhere. And… I get it, if you’re Sony you gotta show you’re willing to play.

Regardless of what MS has said I suspect people don’t really trust them, especially since the Sony/MS duopoly (Nintendo not really competing in the high end console category) isn’t a smooth one.

MS wants to dominate the market. XBOX game pass is doing ridiculously well. If they can make XBOX the default console and reduce Sony to a niche player they will absolutely do it.
> That's just plain false across most dimensions. https://css-tricks.com/http2-real-world-performance-test-ana...

I always feel like any performance claims are nowhere near my real life experience, not even when talking about synthetic benchmarks.

For example I recently set up an Apache server that returned a 304 response, on an AWS t3.micro instance and with the Apache Benchmark tool I got around 3.5k[0] requests per second. Once I've enabled HTTPS that fell to around 500 requests per second.

From what I've read at the time (because I was aware of the general consensus that they should have comparable performance), there is some type of underlying hardware feature the TLS decryption/encryption routine can use to speed things up, but it's only available in AWS in m3 type instances and above. Read it from a Mozilla (I think) article, that I couldn't find again right now.

[0] that 3.5k/500 rps might be higher for you because I used maxminddb IP mapping on each requests which I'm sure adds some considerable factor to the rps.
Seems like the HTTP/2 protocol has been baked for so long, that whatever new methods are added, adoption will be very slow and only a small fraction of web APIs will expose those methods.

In other words, aside from <1% of developers, no one will care.

Also, graphQL seems to address many of the issues that manifest in the current form of GET. My bet will be that graphQL gets adopted more widely (and faster) than a new QUERY method.
Cool. They didn't learn after a 700m€ lawsuit. Looking forward to the next one.

I think SICP is extremely well written and worth a read. I know its contents are slightly controversial (Maths! Functional Programming! Scheme! Lots of Silly Parentheses!) and now a bit oldish - the course on which this book is based was created around 1980. There are roughly a dozen books which try to be an improved version of SICP. Still, it's a classic and it has inspired a lot of people.

The original group for which the book was written are computer science students. As such it is only partly about learning 'Scheme' (actually only a small subset) or 'Programming'.

Originally one wanted to teach how to do software engineering from the ground up: build an evaluator, a compiler, a register machine, ... This style now is a bit out of fashion and the education switched to a different approach: assemble available Python modules. Still I like the SICP approach to give students a deep understanding how to build up from basics.

In the Lisp world, there are books like Winston/Horn 'Lisp' (which adapts some content from SICP) or 'PAIP' from Peter Norvig, which are also challenging. 'Lisp' is more interested in teaching actual programming in a larger language and 'PAIP' teaches programming by exposing students to larger programs and larger code examples. Still both give the students, like SICP, a lot of inspiration to experiment with the provided topics and examples.

There are other books/courses based on Logo, Scheme, Oz, etc. which address some of the complaints about SICP.

SICP now is also available in a JavaScript edition.

It's a shame that so many are simply wasted. Lots of people bought multiple units in the past to run toy clusters for no reason. I myself have a Pico I got free with the magazine that I've yet to use. There must be thousands gathering dust that people could make use of.

Edit: In fact, if anyone does want to play with setting up a cluster (like for kubernetes or something) you can do it easily with VMs. Two great options for spinning up a virtual cluster are Vagrant and Docker Machine. The latter is specifically tailored for bringing up docker hosts. I'm not aware of any reason why you would need to use real hardware for learning.
NYT does crosswords well. I suspect they'll put wordle on the crossword app and use it to get people to get a crossword subscription.
Do you have any evidence that #1 would actually happen, if interest rates rise?

I was listening to a podcast a while ago where an economist was discussing that if we go back in history and look at the times when interest rates rose, rarely/never we find that housing prices actually went down. They counterintuitively stayed flat or continued to rise (in the US).

> Clients are the ones that cause the privacy leak, not servers.

Regardless of where the leak is, this is not a problem that exists in HTTP. You could not just go to a central server and gather a log of some NN% of the HTTP connections being made. No, DNS is not analogous. You can choose your DNS server, you can even run your own.

> If you don't trust them, then yes. Nothing new here though.

What's new is that it's become a lot harder to examine the information my software is sending to servers on the Internet. If they all talked HTTP, it would be trivial for me to intercept and examine. You can do that with HTTPS, sometimes, but it's a lot harder and relies on the software obeying OS proxy settings.

I happily pay for YouTube Premium because I watch tons of niche stuff that creators are able to make a living off.

YouTube has a lot of problems, and the ads for non-Premium users are probably going too far, but I find a lot of value in consuming and supporting a wealth of high quality content on obscure topics.
'How bad they need it' and 'How much money they have to spend' are often completely unrelated.

With 'price gouging laws' you also include 'rationing' which can and does often generated considerably better outcomes.

On my team we use mitmproxy for observing traffic of our locally running instances of the backend for the project that I am working on.

Supposedly mitmproxy also supports HTTP/2 so might be helpful for that as well.

We're personally still using HTTP/1.1. But mitmproxy has been a really great tool for us while working on the client and the backend of our project.

One thing I also like a lot about mitmproxy is that you can edit requests and replay them. This is useful when I need to step debug the backend for an endpoint where requests are failing or otherwise misbehaving.

I'm fairly sure that the fixed exchange rate didn't cause the problems. But I think the interest rate craziness shows that the fixed exchange rate sure didn't help. It took away a knob that they really could have used right then. Since they didn't have it, they had to go insane with the interest rate to try to defend the currency at the fixed price. That didn't make it easier to handle the rest of the crisis.
Sanctions can certainly cause inflation. They just cause less inflation if the government (Iraqi Kurdistan) isn't printing any more paper, or more inflation if the government (the rest of Iraq) decided to print its way out of debts.

And sanctions can certainly cause inflation if it becomes more expensive to import goods (or make them locally instead).

I've never worked there, but I imagine you are hilariously wrong. You couldn't even make static copies of the website and mobile apps on all platforms in a couple months. That's not even talking about the servers needed to serve a high volume CRUD app with built in messaging platform. There's also the fact that none of it would stay running without the active maintenance by the ops team and developers. Zooming out, the consumer facing stuff we are talking about probably makes up about 10% of their total codebase and the practices around it. Zooming further out, the business would grind to a halt without the operational practices and personnel keeping it running.
