I keep meaning to pick one up as I am not fond of other options, however 9 out of 10 times it seems like people end up going back to android or iOS just out of sanity.
I mean page speed, like what Google Lighthouse gives you a rating for. Optimising WordPress for this is much more challenging than static pages in my experience.

What functionality are you thinking about here? I find most business websites don't need much beyond static HTML contact forms, nothing that would need serverless functions. A themed search page is a bit more challenging but you can embed Google Search or something like Algolia. Messaging widgets, analytics are usually JavaScript snippets, same with a lot of buy-button
functionality.
Usually, it tastes pretty bad.

Oh, and I’d recommend chilling your reds in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes before drinking. I often find true room-temperature reds to be on the warm side. I had a particularly bad experience with a “room-temperature” wine at a restaurant in Turin that had been sitting in the 35C heat…
Couldn’t that bring inconsistencies eventually? If one commits and the other doesn’t.
> Since the issue is we've emitted too much CO2, the solutions are either to not emit it, or to remove it after emission.

There are more than just these two options. For example, you can capture CO2 at the emission site, which is much cheaper than doing the same after it dissipates to low concentration in the atmosphere.

> If we were looking to go carbon-negative to start to undo decades of harm, you would want the carbon price to be higher than the removal cost.

While preventing future bigger changes to climate might be worthwhile, I for one believe that imposing enormous burden on entire world just so that we revert to CO2 levels from, say, 1950, is simply not worth it. Say what you want about future climate “catastrophe”, but as of today, we are just fine.

> Where did this number come from? I've never heard it. It doesn't line up with the goals of Canada ($50 this year, targeting $170/t in 2030)

Etc. The figures you are quoting are just politicians trying to get more tax money through climatewashing, these have nothing to do with actual externalities of GHG emissions or with mitigations.

There are similar approaches, ie: Checked-C which work surprisingly well. However, I'm not sure that this approach would be expressive enough to handle the edge cases of C craziness and pointer arithmetic. There's more to memory unsafety than writing to unallocated memory, even forcing a write to slightly wrong memory (ie setting `is_admin = true`) can be catastrophic.

I said no one had any objections to it, 20% of the population didn't refuse the polio vaccine and refuse to give it to their kids (which is the topic of discussion, if you need reminding again).
At the end of the day, there's a human cost to responding to pages, and there's a human cost to collaboration.

Both of those can drive burn out. Personally, I find all that collaboration work very hard and stressful, so I work better in a situation where I get pages for the services I control; but that would change if pages were frequent and mostly related to dependencies outside of my control. It also helps to have been working in organizations that prioritize a working service over features. Getting frequent overnight issues that can't be resolved without third party effort that's not going to happen anytime soon is a major problem that I see reports of in threads like this.

I can also get behind a team that can manage the base operations issues like ram/storage/cpu faults on nodes and networking. The runbooks for handling those issues are usually pretty short and don't need much collaboration.
it’s a shit solution to a monumental problem
This is orthogonal to what causes the pain point. All the pain comes from distributed state and these load levels even if you peak at 800K requests per second you don't need distributed state. So most of this pain is self inflicted.
This is exactly what I did.

I made the ROM writable by soldering a CMOS ram chip across the ROM (was it 16KB?) and any write to the ROM would end up in the RAM. A switch selected either the ROM or RAM to read from. On startup simply copy the ROM to the RAM and flip the switch.

From there on you can read/write the original ROM and modify it to your hearts content.
I guess density is the real measure.

I'm pretty sure, based on nothing at all but playing the game for a decade or so, that all character animation in world of warcraft is either motion capture, or extremely painstaking animation. Poly counts and cartoonish texturing had very little to do with why the game looked good and aged well. It was the animation that made the difference.
What I like most about this is the the idea of clicking a reference to display a floating preview of the concerning paper information, figure or table. That seems like a really nice solution!

most people aren't trained tasters. you can do a lot of training to remove the subject aspect of taste preference where you taste a lot of individual compounds in isolation so you learn to pick them out. this is very important for wine processor to be able to pick out defects in the fermentation by flavor.

a similar phenomenon happens in coffee. the average taste preference is not aligned with high quality coffee, but simply doesn't know what to look for. most of their experience is with over roasted coffee that is picked whenever and processed as cost effectively as possible with no care for the innate flavors of the varietal.
This is mostly correct. Prior to 1999 individuals who worked in NYC were required to pay the ~2% income tax regardless of residency. This included people from NJ and CT. They're no longer subject to the tax (the reverse is untrue; I live in NYC and work in NJ, but I'm still required to pay NYC income tax). Historically this was known as the "commuter tax."

Since 2009 residents of NY who live in counties adjacent to NYC are subject to a 0.34% tax if they work in NYC. I believe this tax does not go toward general NYC operations, but rather helps fund the mass-transit that supports their commute. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commuter_tax

Wow,You sure are a 'Reading enthusiast'!

It's going to take a while for me to explore all these, Thanks a lot for the recommendations; Especially for telling how you found it.
I wouldnt consider Rice's theorem to be relevant for what I was thinking. Sure all programs have common repeatable elements, like open a file, read/write, close file, so you wouldnt have an instruction or few out of the blue suddenly being run, in effect out of context, but thats whats happening here, the normal instructions that would be required to do a task, suddenly start using instructions that are not required in most cases before resorting back to the rest of the instructions for the original task.

Its abit like saying, would you expect some instructions for virtualisation to run if you load a jpg to display on screen? I wouldnt expect instructions for virtualisation functionality to be running in this example.

Or would I expect some instructions for encryption to run if I were to load a sound file to play over speakers? No I wouldnt expect that to happen, but thats the sort of thing thats happening here, some instructions not normally associated with a task are occurring, so how do you detect and alert and maybe halt those instructions?

There isnt anything in the CPU AFAIK that would pick this up, it would need the OS to act as a co-party to perhaps halt this, and I dont know if the OS or even AV software goes to this extent? At best, you'd have something like a dmesg feed or the Intel Processor Trace (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30110088) to get the output of instructions being called (possibly independent of the OS), but like I say I dont know of any OS or AV product that goes to this level of monitoring.

Thats where I am coming from.
We sold our company to VMware in 2014 with help from GrowthPoint Partners. Some learnings about the deal.

* Find multiple firms and interview them carefully. They have to sync well with your board because you'll need a high level of trust to get the deal done. Check references.

* Good advisors have done a lot of deals and have a lot of connections in the vertical you are in. They should be able to list possible acquirers off the cuff and why you are a fit. If they can't do that, move on.

* You want somebody who can run the deal process - which is really time intensive - while you run the business. It's really hard to do both.

* Good advisors will guide you through every step of the process from developing the pitch deck to acquirers to due diligence at the end. You'll quickly realize how little you know about any of these things if it's your first time through. If they aren't hands-on, again, move on.

The fees may seem high if you've never done a deal. They are justified by the potentially huge swing in price if you get somebody good. You can be looking at a 2x difference in price if you get multiple bidders. Comp the advisors on outcome and give them unlimited upside for a great result. It's just like comp'ing sales if you've done that.

Just my $0.02.
Fill up your spare time with things you find more fun, fulfilling or meaningful than work. The problem will naturally solve itself if you have things to draw your attention and passion. The trap folks fall into, imo, is to not foster that outside of their careers and then that's all they end up having (their careers).
I found running a Getting Things Done® (GTD) style system is useful - Write down what is on top of mind, make a complete list of all projects, do items that are contextually relevant, and at least once a week review everything.

The critical piece for us is a new fresh whiteboard for each day. Write down all the items in play so everything is visible at once. Then prioritize. Most importantly - go do!

Here's an example from OP:

> Several times in the discussion, children made reference to “giving” Lego pieces to other children. Kendra pointed out the understanding behind this language: “When you say that some kids ‘gave’ pieces to other kids, that sounds like there are some kids who have most of the power in Legotown — power to decide what pieces kids can use and where they can build.” Kendra’s comment sparked an outcry by Lukas and Carl, two central figures in Legotown[.]

The article goes on to transcribe "Lukas" and "Carl" rejecting the author's framing, and insisting that "giving" meant something more like "finding and sharing."

Of course, the kids here are right to push back, since "give" implies only mere possession of a thing, even of an unowned thing like knowledge.

But that didn't stop the teacher!

> These children seemed to squirm at the implications of privilege, wealth, and power that “giving” holds. The children denied their power, framing it as benign and neutral, not something actively sought out and maintained. This early conversation helped us see more clearly the children’s contradictory thinking about power and authority, laying the groundwork for later exploration.

A reasonable teacher would have reacted by questioning her own assumptions about the kids' motives. Perhaps they believed they had ownership (a legal-political claim) or perhaps just possession (a physical-factual claim). This teacher short-circuits this kind of self-skepticism, the aforementioned "epistemic humility," and immediately filters the kids' actions according to her ideology. Her tendentious interpretation of honestly quite reasonable arguments from the kids is a pretty strong indication that she's indoctrinating rather than just teaching.

She has a lot to say on the topic of power, but her analysis curiously falls just short of being applied to herself and her fellow teachers. They are evidently free to use their power to shame, shun and harangue the kids about word choice, distribution of bricks, capitalism and who knows what else.

Using power as a weapon to shame & shun is in itself an indication of indoctrination. I doubt many of us would rationalize Scientology's "e-meter" readings as well-meaning hokum when it's clearly a manipulative ritual employed as a tool to coerce followers into toeing the line. Why, then, should these teachers get a free pass?

Given the totality of the article (or even my excerpts), what is more likely to be true: she holds consistent beliefs about power and equity which she thinks she must inform these kids about, or she feels she is an enlightened activist whose mission is not merely to inform but to impose her beliefs by all means out of faith in her cause?
The reason is that there exits a large anti-Musk crowd and the ledge on to any even remotely disparaging thing about Musk. And the Shotwell is the real hero very, very often gets used by people who are known to act like that.

When somebody else brings it up, out of genuine believe that she should get more exposure, its easy to throw those groups into the same crowd.

I have very deliberately tried not to do that. Shotwell should get a lot of exposure and a lot of credit.

> Why some refuse to hold him responsible for his statements is just weird.

I don't think most people actually do that. Sure its exists and there are very vocal people out there who do that.

However in general, most people don't agree with some of the things he said or does. On the other hand, I also don't think some of those statements make him the literal devil who should be in prison or even killed is a statement that is often actually made.

Musk is certainty a flawed human, and I have many criticism of him and his companies and his conduct. However, online I am far more often defending him because most of the attacks are not actually well informed and spout the same misinformation in the same over the top way.

Where people just flat out wrote their own history of events and then argue it was the truth.

Hyperloop is a good example. Musk said he would make an idea public, but he wouldn't work on it. That was his position from the beginning. However now when this is brought online people act like he promised Tesla would build a Hyperloop between LA and SF in a year or something like that. Or they just point to companies like 'Hyperloop One' and act as if Musk had anything to do with them.
Throughout 1982 I begged my parents for a ZX Spectrum, after reading all about it in the computer magazines we had in our public library for months.

On Christmas morning, I woke up to a BASIC program running on the TV screen welcoming me to my brand new TI-99 4/A. Probably a better choice for us as I don’t think I knew anyone else in the US with a Spectrum.

I still have the TI, it’s upgraded to HDMI output using an FPGA replacement for the display processor, and has all the software ever released for it installed on one cartridge. Fun to break it out when the family gathers for holidays. There’s even some modern game development going on that really shows how capable the old hardware was, but was limited by primitive software development tools and practices.

It is possible to simulate the file operations using IndexedDB API, an HTML input element with the file type, an HTML anchor element with the download attribute, etc, but that would require a good understanding of these standards and careful design for a good user experience. Also, the performance may not be satisfactory for frequent operations and large files.

Based on the implementation of different browsers, one entry in the origin private file system does not necessarily map to an entry in the user’s local filesystem — it can be an object stored in some database. That means a file or directory created via the File System Access API may not be easily retrieved from outside of the browser.

So what is the point of using this instead of IndexedDB, then? In IndexedDB we can even save private non-extractable keys!

I visited Tipasa on a trip to northern Algeria a few years back. It, and so many of the ruins across the country, are pretty incredible, Pompeii-level sites that are mostly sitting there empty.

There’s very little tourism in Algeria, though, which might explain the lack of investment in their historic sites. If you get the opportunity to see them soon and you’re up for a bit of adventure, I’d recommend it.
How does your contact form work without backend code?

For me the primary benefit of a contact form is obscuring its destination (or piping it into a CRM or ticket system).

Search is important. But other functionality includes things like content embargo/scheduled publication. Or multi-author systems, where not everyone who is writing the content should be doing any damn thing with CLI tools or Git or any such thing), and where there might be editorial approval before it is posted.

Analytics: again, this is something that I personally believe should be achieved in aggregate on the server side, not in JS trackers.

Most simple business brochure sites do not need much, but most simple business users like a control panel they can log in to.

I do not have _any_ customers I'd deploy a static site generator to. It's just not going to happen without an online frontend (or something like Publii, maybe).
That's essentially what ASAN is, with some black magic for performance and scope reasons. The problem is that ensuring that your code will detect or catch memory unsafety isn't enough, because the language itself isn't designed to incorporate the implications of that. If you're writing a system messenger for example, you can't just crash unless you want to turn all memory unsafety into a zero-click denial of service.
One of my examples related to means testing. I have many more not related at all to means testing.

Many were bait-and-switches. "This program will cover all of your costs for {x}", and then months later, "sorry, the program actually doesn't cover {x.1} or {x.2}, so you owe money and penalties now".

Other programs were of the more indirect, but still very consequential, "we're incentivizing or mandating people to do {x} to help those without means" only for the businesses with means to easily absorb the costs or penalties while the freelancers (as I was at one time) or people working for small businesses (as I did and continue to do) are put in situations in which they cannot.

Whether its healthcare mandates or regulations, used car or appliance buy-back programs, mortgage assistance programs, aggressive minimum insurance liabilities, they are all sold on the notion of helping the less fortunate at the expense of the more fortunate, yet I can trace so many of them to situations that directly impacted my family and lead us to facing homelessness multiple times.

If I gave the impression that means testing was the core impediment, then I can say it was only but one of many.

That said, I agree that means testing just adds a burden to the recipient and a means manipulating the recipient. I don't view this as partisan, though, and there are plenty on the left happy to use assistance as a form of social behavior manipulation as well.

To do this honestly and properly, we would need to remove ALL means testing.
> What do gut bacteria do again? ...

> Well, I’m here to tell you that they do nothing.

Utter tripe. After getting a cardiac stent placed last April, I did a deep dive on cardiovascular disease. I landed on work from the Cleveland Clinic by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. In his long-term studies, he finds that bacteria in the gut metabolize certain proteins found in meat and dairy into trimethethylamine, which the liver metabolizes into trimethylamine-oxide (TMAO). TMAO annihilates the nitric oxide blood gas created by the endothelium to protect and repair itself. In other words, that is the root cause of CVD.

That, my friends, is not nothing.

The author of this piece claiming that gut bacteria have no impact on the body's biochemistry is being willfully ignorant of years of well-established studies. At the very least, for the one, narrow interest where I have done a deep dive.

Sorry to be a negative nancy! - but whoever thought a new ZX Spectrum should not have grey keys, made a slight error on that decision.

Source code and abstract virtual machines make many things easier. However, I expect Rails is typically deployed via Docker or something to capture dependencies. That part could be replaced by Nix, in principle.

People also use Nix quite in combination with Docker, so clearly Docker doesn't go far enough on the developer experience, and Nix doesn't provide isolation so Docker provides advantages from that side.

I feel like there should be a more integrated, comprehensive solution for this sort of thing, but these are on the right track.
