I have a pretty much opposite perspective on Jepsen than most of the folks here. My feeling is that essentially no distributed system is perfect or without trade offs (and certainly no single node system is perfect and wothout tradeoffs) and Jepsen posts basically make that clear over and over again like some form of techie outrage porn... but the tone and implication is as if somehow there is some alternative panacea without tradeoffs... and I find that a little bit misleading.

Basically an astute reader of Jepsen testing may deduce "I need to use a single node system" which is one option but without the availability characteristics modern users usually want
Restoring a Long Neglected Amiga 1200 Power Tower
When I first started monitoring spam connections years ago, it was almost always home cable+internet providers. They seem to have gotten the message and cleaned up thier acts.

As of last night, the number one source of spam for both the personal and company servers I maintain is Digital Ocean.

Which is a shame, because otherwise I'm a happy Digital Ocean customer. But because of this, I would never move any of my commercial projects there.

GoFundMe tells a lot of people who they can or cannot send money to via their platform. First, there are laws around sending money to designated terrorist organizations, then there are restrictions around violence, pornography and sex work, and many more. The giant list can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/c/terms

If you want to mail a check to these truckers, have at it, but GoFundMe is not obligated to collect money on their behalf. Here's another example, but not one Ron Desantis would ever care about - https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20200131-gofundme-shuts-us...
I use Linux but I'm mostly content with Gimp and Inkscape.

I know Photoshop have some "content aware fill" and things but that's just their re-branded name for neural networks that are already open source, it's just a matter of time before it's available in Gimp. I might even consider writing those plugins too but my time is limited.
> We knew there were serious consequences ...

We had some minor inklings of the microbiome, but we were not aware of serious consequences. Unless you are accusing the all the governments and medical bodies of the world of gross malpractice.

> It has a way of doing so over evolutionary timescales, which is not true for EBV.

Do you have evidence for this claim?

> That is a bacteriophage.

Do you really think nature has drawn a bright line between viruses than can affect humans and viruses that can affect bacteria? I'm not sure this lines up with reality. People are even seriously starting to talk about the "Human Virome" [1]

> I don't need to prove a negative, you have the burden of proof.

This is what they said about tobacco causing cancer and pesticides killing bees and carbon emissions causing global warming. How did that work out? I'd prefer a more proactive scientific framework than a reactive one. Maybe we could stop the next crisis before it happens.

> There aren't 1 million confounding variables as far as sampling for EBV.

There are 1M confounding factors in sampling outcomes. Not controlling for confounding variables is a great way to get weak conclusions.

Is scary how many people think like you. The Whitehouse is constantly pushing for censorship across all tech companies and platforms. AWS even cancelled an entire platform, parlor.

Terms and conditions aren't bulletproof. Contrary to popular belief (among socialists in particular for some reason), corporations cannot do whatever they want. If something is illegal, no amount of fine print can make it not illegal.
Last I looked for a replacement for Lightroom I didn't really find anything that worked well for me. Maybe the open source tools have matured in the interim? I've been sticking with my old copy of Lightroom 5 and until I buy a new camera that it doesn't support processing raw files for.

Thanks for the feedback about the timing and the other resources! I'm very much not an expert in Morse code (as I'm sure you can tell).

I tried to follow the ratios here (https://morsecode.world/international/timing.html) as follows:

var DOT_TIME = 300; // Dit: 1 unit
var DASH_TIME = DOT_TIME * 3; // Dah: 3 units
var SYMBOL_BREAK = DOT_TIME; // Intra-character space: 1 unit
var LETTER_BREAK = DOT_TIME * 3; // Inter-character space: 3 units
var WORD_BREAK = DOT_TIME * 7; // Word space: 7 units

But it's interesting to hear that the timing still sounds off and the characters are not well shaped. I wonder if there are some artifacts in the web audio API related to how it's playing that would cause the difference.

Either way, thanks again!
Sounds like American political parlance needs to be elevated by people learning the distinction between all of those terms. Which is exactly the point of the comment. Just because a lot of people misuse terms and conflate unrelated concepts, doesn't mean they're right.
But the vehicle is not parked in a public space it's parked on private property that is owned by the government. If someone is in a vehicle on someones property then it's the property owner not the vehicle owner were trespassing laws apply to.

I agree. That's why I believe each of these apps should be a native app, built for your os. MS Word on windows 10 is an unbeatable word processor. Nothing else on the web comes even close. Same with Excel.
I fought the battle to keep my SMTP server IP off blacklists, and lost.

You can do everything possible, have a perfectly clean IP, have a good amount of outbound email traffic, only send transactional email, etc. Still, there will be edge cases where email does not go through. AT&T email servers would constantly blacklist me and not respond to requests to remove me, gmail/yahoo/outlook would silently put emails in the spam folder, and companies using email firewall products would blacklist me, with an IT Dept too inept to fix it.

The solution was to pay a small fee and proxy all outbound email through a transactional SMTP sender, like Postmark or Mailgun. It's easy to do, with one line of code in Postfix. You can be selective, and only proxy emails sent to certain troublesome domains. If you try an email provider and it's not working out, it's one line of code to change to another provider.

This allows me to still manage nearly all aspects of hosting my email server and control my email data, while not dealing with deliverability issues. I use Postmark and I have not dealt with a deliverability issue in two years.
I imagine it was deemed "obscene" for discussing things like the inner thoughts of a man speculating that his wife was having an affair. Mrs. Dalloway was not only written by a woman and about a woman, it in part describes her potentially romantic interest in another woman in her youth.

> We were also informed that our normal, business communications with paying customers should have unsubscribe notices appended to them.

You should have an unsubscribe link. You should also have your business address and identify yourself.

Even if it's not required by the letter of the law, you should add it.

As an example: Amazon automatically opted me into an "alert" when a wishlist I viewed had a new viewer. Since it's an "alert" and a "business communication" it has no unsubscribe. This is spam - this is an ad hidden as a notification.
Ok that’s a fair comment. I think with Apple one can at least recognize that when they cancel something it is due to a lack of popularity. With Google, they kill services constantly that are popular, or they randomly change the rules (for example, suddenly users need a gmail account but NOT a Google Workspace account to log into Nest Cams).

Dealing with Google is like being in a relationship with a schizophrenic.
Mental health issues too often remain untreated among high-achievers who are able to maintain a surface appearance of holding it together. It's a good trend that nowadays we feel able to talk more openly about struggles like this.

I see myself in this article but for me, the word that was the key to find resources to get better was the broader acronym RNT, "Repetitive negative thoughts". Perfectionism themes are one common type of thought for me, but I also have several other categories that don't fit in that frame. Two resources I found particularly useful:

* https://www.amazon.com/Negative-Thoughts-Workbook-Repetitive... "The Negative Thoughts Workbook" A practical self-help book with chapters to work through each common category of negative thought

* https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2672052/ "Constructive and Unconstructive Repetitive Thought" A survey in the clinical literature which I found particularly helpful for identifying the subset of negative thoughts which has been actually helping me. This helped me ease up on the majority of unhelpful thoughts with greater confidence that I'm still preserving the small subset of my thought pattern which has helped me succeed.
Or, as the article indicates, crashing/breaking a vessel on your property 16 times, presumably leaving you in charge of cleanup/restoration, whether the statement is of a true event or not.
I fixed the link. This is all part of the system described on the book, HVM is merely a very fast practical implementation. The additions (thinks like machine integers and constructors) don't affect the core.
And I’m saying that’s bullshit. I don’t use WiFi at home. I’m an old fuddy dud and have Ethernet plumbed everywhere.

The difference is now the neighbors WiFi can scan my house and see me inside it without me using WiFi.
A couple things:

- It definitely shouldn't be downloading multiple megabytes of assets, at least not blocking assets. A reasonable primary JS bundle size (including the framework and other dependencies) is around 150kb; 30kb would be 20% of that. Images, marketings scripts, etc. are excluded because they don't block rendering/interactivity; the browser generally knows to defer those until after the main experience has loaded. The core bundle, on the other hand, blocks rendering content (if it's all rendered client-side) or at least interactivity (if content is rendered server-side and then hydrated client-side). And on top of just the download time, there's the time it takes the browser to parse and compile the code. So yeah, every few kilobytes matter.

- Virtually nobody would have React in their browser cache from a re-usable URL. That was common in the jQuery days, but that's not how things are done today. For better or worse, a modern JS app bundles all of its dependencies statically in a self-sufficient bundle (possibly "chunked" into multiple files, but all domain-local). You could technically do things the old way, but you'd be fighting the tooling and ecosystem at every step. And anyway, your users probably wouldn't benefit from cache hits because no other sites are doing it. There's a hypothetical future where ES modules take off enough that dynamically loading dependencies becomes feasible and popular again, though even then, there are benefits to static bundling (like tree-shaking) that some probably wouldn't want to give up.
My favorite quotes:

"When ‘Bitcoin maximalists’, as you call them, wax lyrical about the inability to print money (and celebrate this inability as Bitcoin’s feature, rather than its bug), they are being terribly unoriginal – banal, I dare say. Capitalism nearly died in 1929, and tens of millions did die in the war that ensued, because of this toxic fallacy that underpinned the Gold Standard then and Bitcoin now. Which fallacy? The fallacy of composition, as John Maynard Keynes called it.

Its essence is a tendency to extrapolate from the personal realm to the macroeconomic one. To say that if something is good for me – if a practice is sound at the level of my family, business, etc. – it must also be good for the state, government, humanity at large"

""We seem to have forgotten how Marx and Engels had the nous and the ability, on the one hand, to admire and celebrate the technological and scientific wonders of their era and, on the other hand, grasp that these potentially liberating technologies were bound to enslave the many if they became instrumentalised by the very few. The two Germans believed in the emancipatory potential of the steam engine and of electromagnetism. But, they never believed that society would be liberated by the steam engine and/or electromagnetism. Liberation required a political movement that first overthrows the bourgeoisie and only then presses these magnificent technologies into the service of the many. This seems to me an excellent way of approaching today’s potentially liberating technologies, including blockchain"
It's surely only a matter of time before he calls someone a "pedo guy".

JFC. Liberalism has both left and right forms since its a goddamn political/moral philosophy and not a specific set of political views/policy.

Some really good creations there - all with source code.
Through an OSSC you should see a difference! :-)

There's no fundamental reason emulators need to have lots of lag. Often the culprit is a controller or controller converter that has a inherent input lag. Also your video / audio output configuration (triple buffering etc.) can introduce lag. And of course your choice of display. There are also emulation features like run-ahead, frame delay etc. unique to software emulation that can even reduce the latency below original hardware or FPGA recreations in some circumstances.

Many systems have basically perfect emulators. For some we even have emulators where there should be no known deviations whatsoever (pretty sure bsnes/higan are at that stage). I think N64/PS1 are not quite there yet, but certainly nothing game breaking like a triple jump not working.

I think it's fun to just keep trying different setups. Playing retro games on a giant 2020 TV can be just as fun as using an ancient CRT. Emulation can allow for fun things like higher resolution, endless controller options and rewind/save-state, but original hardware also has its charms.
I don't think so. Honestly if they had announced server side CSAM scanning I would have been fine with that and I would still be deeply entrenched in the Apple ecosystem.

It's a question of whose device it is. I paid $1000, it's in my pocket all day every day, it is mine and not theirs. I won't allow Apple to just run anything they want to on it, especially malware that is designed to do either exactly nothing or rat me out to the federal government.

You did miss something. CSAM reports were slated to be sent to the NCMEC, an "independent non profit" which for practical purposes is an arm of the FBI. It didn't sway me at all that the pushback made them scrap their plans. They took a clear position that they think they own the computer in my pocket, that they decide what runs on it, and I have no say whatsoever. Nor was I impressed at their alleged intention to only turn it on for iCloud users. In a slow boil one doesn't mind the lukewarm water.

The Apple Watch is completely useless without an iPhone. I will get off of all Apple products in the coming years. I suggest you read up on privacy ROMs - I don't run any of Google's spyware either.
if Wu-Tang had issued a single exclusive NFT of the album, and then made the actual music freely available?

I think that is probably not what Skreli wanted. The entire point seemed to be that no one else would get to hear the music. Otherwise, there's really not much difference between a single person owning the NFT or the gold master with the mp3 being freely distributed.
Neither i nor ii above apply to political (elected) officials. They are absolutely covered by the Hatch Act. If an elected official were to direct one of the exempted classes to perform a political act, the act of directing them would be a crime.

The question is whether those voters wanted other things more than that (and whether Trump managed to deliver those other things to their satisfaction).

Engage in a fundrise not dissimilar to what people do today with VCs and startups. The investor(s) contribute money in exchange for a portion of the business. If it succeeds, both parties make money, if it doesn't, the investor loses money, and the business owner loses money and effort he put into it. It's true risk sharing.
The "all" in the gp refers to the fought for freedom(s) applying to everyone, not that it has majority support or that is wanted by everyone.
Right, but if you have a popular product and can’t monetize it, particularly with Google’s business model of inserting ads, then you aren’t very good at business. What’s the difference between someone logging into Gmail and paying for it via ads in Gmail vs someone logging into a legacy Google Apps for your Domain email account and paying for it via ads shown exactly like Gmail?

Honestly, it feels like the company is filled with warring factions and the users are collateral damage.
Additionally with Vultr VKE the control plane is exposed to the public without any way to whitelist source ip addresses. I asked them to support white listings of IPs as a bare minimum.

It’s owing to the high number of syscalls not being a big drag on Linux, etc. while causing noticeable slowdowns on top of Windows’ architecture/filesystem... something like that. A Microsoft engineer did a good writeup on it several years ago, if I remember correctly. I’ll try to find a link.
Supplanted it without backwards compatibility. angular was a complete rework. That's when I switched to react. Also, now I won't touch flutter.
I lead a project that did an in place rewrite from angular to react while still shipping new features. We wrote an angular -> react shim so that we could render react leaf nodes. We worked down the angular stack replacing increasingly lower level components. We had a cut over date of no new angular code, then essentially a code freeze for a month or so to do the rest (routing, data store). This project took 4 or maybe 5 months, but the resulting velocity on the other side more than made up for it.

Surely you jest. Polls are anonymous. And even if the security is bad, nobody is scrutinizing IP logs of poll respondents. Maybe in Kazakhstan or something, but freedom in the West has not fallen that far.

People do lie on polls, of course, but it's usually about self-expression, not self-protection. I'd imagine that vaccinated truckers are more likely to report antagonism to vaccine mandates by lying about being unvaccinated vs. the reverse.

I don't have a problem with this particular instance of deplatforming because podcasts are a highly competitive space that relies mostly on RSS still. However, "free markets" according to the original definition meant free not only from state control, but from private monopolistic rent-seeking as well. In cases where one platform is especially dominant, it's not really a free market, and in those cases, it is justified to be worried about censorship.

More quotes:

"During the 20th century, and up to this day, workers in large capitalist oligopolistic firms (like General Electric, Exxon-Mobil, or General Motors) received approximately 80% of the company’s income. Big Tech’s workers do not even collect 1% of their employer’s revenues. This is because paid labour performs only a fraction of the work that Big Tech benefits from. Who performs the bulk of the work? Most of the rest of us! For the first time in history, almost everyone produces for free (often enthusiastically), adding to Big Tech’s capital stock (that is what it means to upload stuff on Facebook or move around while linked to Google Maps). And, moreover, this capital takes a new, far more powerful form"
Any hosting company where some random person can buy a VM for $5 on a credit card has this problem. Mostly I feel sorry for the support and staff at the hosting companies who do not have the time/manpower/resources to deal with it properly, and this is an intentional business decision by the people who own and run the companies.

It's a race to scraping the bottom of the barrel on per customer profit margin and pricing.
