One issue with SSE is that dumb enterprise middleboxes and Windows antivirus software break them :(

They'll try to read the entire stream to completion and will hang forever.
Great work, thanks for sharing!

I see https://github.com/google/cld3, but how does this compare with https://github.com/CLD2Owners/cld2 which is used by the large https://commoncrawl.org project to classify billions of samples from the whole internet?
I tried to "grow" a couple of mango trees in Switzerland on my balcony, but they all died within 1 or 2 years, I think I burnt one with too much fertilizer, another one due to the weather being too dry and one, I am not too sure but I suspected not enough mineral as it took almost 2 years, I hoped it would grow :(
Good point, more written text could perhaps help.
I made the backend for this MMO on SSE over HTTP/1.1:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/486310/Meadow/

We have had a total of 350.000 players over 6 years and the backend out-scales all other multiplayer servers that exist and it's open source:

https://github.com/tinspin/fuse

You don't need HTTP/2 to make SSE work well. Actually the HTTP/2 TCP head-of-line issue and all the workarounds for that probably make it harder to scale without technical debt.

For what it's worth TeX/LaTeX allows execution of arbitrary shell commands from *.tex documents. Be careful there as well.
I just want to thank you for that but also say that I like it how it is.

I'm happy with it and like it, I think it's perfect for what I want and good, but I also get your point. I love the simple style and I also think I can improve marketing and polish. But I won't do it for this one because it's just a silly demo.

Mentally, I think this is better than my main page.

I tried to keep it simple with the three options: [free demo ~ try now] [basic purchase] [expert purchase] just giving an overview of features, and then once you click 'try now', you can use it right away to get a better idea.

I think it's good :)
So according to a statistics website, on Google, says the television industry is going to profit 80+ billions dollars but Cornell says the ads play to mostly empty rooms.

It should be.. A 1/3 of ads played for TVision's audience plays to an empty room.
We have Alphonso in Egypt, too! Though I prefer Eweis which is much sweeter.

When roots grow/ gather more food, the tree will grow and branch out. So that it can get sunlight from all directions. I have seen this even without adding hormones/ fertilizers. The effect is probably more dramatic due to time lapse.
Most companies still get in their own way—

Hiring executives are largely divorced from the recruiting process.

Instead, they task low-level HR flunkies with identifying, assessing, and attracting talent.

Good talent constantly get overlooked, rejected, or more frequently turned-off.
I still remember when PVM vs MPI articles were common.
Sorry I don't really understand that. What does it mean?
Every day I visit a site that reminds me how durable code really is. I'm starting to see programs that are outliving their developers. In many ways it is surprising given the amount of churn there is in the techniques and tools we use to build software.
Funny, I first read "passive income" as "basic income". It's a related point, though. If you cannot afford to work for free, you'll never write that first lucky rent-generating article.

It matches what I see on Patreon (web comics at least): None of the creators seem to have started with the assurance that they could generate a significant income, or even quit their full-time job. A few of them do now, but I'm pretty sure most of those comics would have happened anyway (given the time), because the artists really wanted to create them.

By the way, free alternative platforms like Liberapay do exist (still growing, too). But I cannot blame artists to use Patreon instead - most of their audience is there. Audience comes first, and paying 10% in fees doesn't matter when you expected no significant earnings anyway.

Another interesting point on Patreon is that I can see the artist's approximate income. I may decide to support new creators instead when I see that they have already 10k a month. Not the most common case on Patreon, of course, but it matches my goal to support the creation of new art better than helping some super-popular ones to get their next million.
This used to be one of my there's-no-wrong-answer interview questions: what's the (philosophical) difference between a pull request and a merge request.

Engineers start to think out loud about it, mention github and gitlab, etc etc so I got a meta-level scan of their experience (or the lack of it) with these tools.

Of course this was just a warmup (or cool down) question before (or after) the real git/engineering related questions.
Click farms (via vpns), bot swarms, etc.

I wonder who would still trust such 'clicks' metrics.

Wild guess, in the context of selling "something" and using ads on the web, the only reliable metric is the correlation between the sales amount and the ad campaign.

I've seen that too. The most egregious is when it's someone at a financial institution where the titles are pretty inflated. Being an AVP at Bank of America is not really a flex worthwhile of a 30 under 30 placement.

Stabilization of ɣ sulfur at room temperature to enable t. use in Li-S batteries
I managed to get through almost all middle men by using 2 tricks:

1) Push a large amount of data on the pull (the comet-stream SSE never ending request) response to trigger the middle thing to flush the data.

2) Using SSE instead of just Comet-Stream since they will see the header and realize this is going to be real-time data.

We had 99.6% succes rate on the connection from 350.000 players from all over the world (even satellite connections in the Pacific and modems in Siberia) which is a world record for any service.

In 2016 a low end, non-pro 100 KHz - 4 GHz VNA cost me $430. I thought that was a game changing deal back then: being able to buy a new working VNA for under $1000. While the NanoVNA's aren't even quite the quality of even my lowend pocketVNA they do give you a qualitative picture of what's going on for $50. That's a real game changer.
> There is if we add on a tax for the negative externalities, we need to consider both positive and negative externalities to get the tax right.

There are few positive externalities directly associated with the act of burning oil, except some associated with global heating.

There may be positive and negative externalities from the things people choose to do with the power generated. Companies are generally better at internalising positive effects than negative ones, for obvious reasons. If my chemical plant produces hot water as a waste product, I can sell that to the plant next door or to a district heating system. Competent business try not to leave value on the table, and try not to pay costs that they don't have to. But where they can be identified, sure, subsidise away. Just not crypto mining.

> So there must be a large positive externality here somewhere

Not necessarily. There is/was a large positive asset: ie. a huge store of chemical energy underground. It has allowed us to do incredible things. If the cost of it included the negative impacts of burning it, the market would use less of it, smarter, more efficiently, towards the most valuable outcomes, and in better balance with the harms.

>who do you think is bearing the cost of these negative externalities right now? ...would they not be better off if we got them access to fossil fuel

I'm not a climate scientist and I'm not qualified to re-litigate the scientific consensus, which is that global heating is dangerous. Some will be more affected than others by increased incidence of extreme weather, water wars, mass migration, cost of flood defences etc. But ultimately it is a "tragedy of the commons": few of us are innocent, most of us are impacted or at risk in some way. It isn't even in the interests of those of us with economic power to stop polluting, because the cost of each of our individual actions is externalised. If I take a flight, I get the full benefit, but experience only one eight billionth of the total harm. That's why it needs a systemic fix.

You're right. It was an awesome intellectual high each time.

But only the first time. Eventually seeing the same stupid problem come back got tedious. Thank goodness our systems continue to evolve. It's so long since I've seen a leaky environment at service startup cause problems that I'd forgotten it was a thing.

I don't understand anyone that seems to think UNIX was perfected in 1983 with the release of System V. We've learned so much since then by standing on the shoulders of giants.
My experience is the opposite: character ngram models work "OK" on academic tasks and clean corpora. Not so much when unleashed on real data.

By "real", I mean texts in a mix of multiple languages (super common on the web); short texts; texts in a different (unknown) language where ngrams don't know how to say "I don't know" and return rubbish instead; texts in close languages; etc.

Going "deep learning" is not the only alternative. Even simpler methods can work significantly better, while being fully interpretable:

You cannot send custom headers when using the built-in EventSource[1] constructor, however you can pass the ‘include’ value to the credentials option. Many polyfills allow custom headers.

However you are correct that if you’re not using JavaScript and connecting directly to the SSE endpoint via something else besides a browser client, nothing is preventing anyone from using custom headers.

Most Nazi human experiments were just atrocities without scientific value but the Dachau hypothermia valuable data. Is that justified? https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199005173222006

Personally I don't thinks these questions have good answers and thus I think we (as society) should adopt a values first mode while critically reflecting about where our values will lead us. I understand the consequentialist appeal but it's deeply flawed as expectations are made up and it's just too easy to justify anything.

What worries me about Neuralink is that I don't think the experiments are motivated by base research or will benefit humankind or any kind besides Musk and his partners. It's a private company based on hype. Best case scenario it's just propaganda.
The vector analyzer is the only one I know of...
Adams says as much as that he's not a "world builder" in the linked article, yeah.

I get it. I've done extensive worldbuilding for a couple of stories, and it can be a lot of fun! You find yourself researching everything from the geological and climatological history of Earth to the detailed mechanics of gravitational slingshots. And then most of that ends up not really mattering all that much to the story, because for the most part what matters in a story is the characters and their relationships, and the worldbuilding mainly goes to determining what situations and circumstances can feasibly arise. And then you probably end up throwing out or reworking a bunch of it anyway, when you have a compelling scene that the research says can't happen, and the scene does more for the story than all the worldbuilding in the world.

Worldbuilding is best done with caution and in moderation - it's useful to an extent, but it can also easily become a rabbit hole at the cost of the story it's meant to support. You'll rarely err by spending less time in research and more with the characters whose stories you are after all trying to tell.

(Granted, given Adams' prior experience as a Doctor Who scriptwriter that gave rise to his most famous series, and also his legendary work-shyness, I don't really credit him with having thought the whole thing far enough through to identify the general case. But who cares? His most famous series is famous for a reason, and I've never really felt the lack of a concordance describing the complete history of the Vogon bureaucracy or a Wikipedia page about Milliways.)

We have 2 billion people in poverty. Climate change threatens our sedentary civilizations. We still have no clue what's going on in the universe and how to make sense of it.

And yet somehow enough of us participate in this circus that it make the news, and I have to witness pathetic drama stories about screenshot-ing monkey drawings, people spending 250M dollars to encode a book onto a chain, NFT marketplaces centralizing into traditional model while operating on a technology that literally and non-ironically requires "gas fees" for simple transactions because of how inept the tech is.

Gas fees. In the same world that holds COP events every year to try and get us to not self-extinct from our own waste products.

What a sad show this is.

Very easy to implement - still using code I wrote 8 years ago, which is like 20 lines client and server, choosing it at the time over ws.

Aha, well why do you need to send a header when you can just put the data on the GET URL like so "blabla?cookie=erWR32" for example?

In my example I use this code:

source.onmessage = function (event) {
document.getElementById('events').innerHTML += event.data;
};

I'm a big fan of git's tutorial manpages: gittutorial, gittutorial-2, and especially gitcore-tutorial which digs into the actual on-disk representation to let you understand what the upper layers are actually doing.

The idea looks amazing. I'm still looking for something that allows me to highlight stuff on web pages, preferably on my e-reader. My current way of accomplishing this is by running a page through Mercury Parser, turning it into an epub, syncing it to my reader and reading it with KOReader.

It would be nice if the whole process was easier, especially getting the highlights back.
Anecdotally, yes, but I doubt most users deliberately make themselves unprofitable. There're millions of kids who just want to use voice chat and share meme gifs. Plus Discord has been gating a lot of features behind Nitro in recent years, and they make a lot of money from Nitro/Boost purchases (it's hard to tell since they're privately owned but they might make close to 200 million this year). I suspect they can stay afloat without VC funding (though they keep getting it anyway). And their valuation is really high.

> How much is the banking system with all of its employees and buildings wasting I wonder.

So, you want to compare the entire banking sector with just a subset of a subset ( eg. Sushiswap)?

I took Binance as an example that the whole Bitcoin electricity thing didn't take into account and that your comparison isn't even in the same league. Binance has eg. Obvious employees/developers.

There are many more things not included in your "reference". Sushiswap is just a subset of what wasn't included either.

Isn't it an illusion though that GitHub is more accessible than discord? Yes, it's indexed by Google, buy these days it'll disappear quickly if it is deleted. I don't even know if all of GitHub and its issues are even indexed to be honest.

You don't need to sample at the Nyquist rate (i.e. 2x the intended measured frequency) to detect the presence of a particular signal but instead can just measure the overall power within a narrow frequency band of interest. Practically speaking this is done by mixing the sweep frequency down to at or around DC and then either directly measuring the power or sampling at a much lower rate and computing the power digitally.
Is Server-Side Google Analytics the Answer?
I have used SSEs extensively, I think they are brilliant and massively underused.

Hell, putting aside the idea of a native version, why can't you enable EAC through WINE? Is your product really that insecure?

In any case, I don't imagine this will be a long-term issue. The Venn diagram of Linux users and Fortnite players are two distinct circles, distanced six feet apart.
