The 20ms is straight form the Stackexchange Performance page in your link, at the bottom of the page. That is server response time. I assume your 50ms is with latency, and paint delay included?

They only cache static asset like images, they dont cache page in CDN. [1]

There is probably a better tweet which I cant find right now, but they dont cache page on their server either, every thing is generated on demand. [2]

StackOverflow is quite famous for not doing any cache and dont use CDN. HN doesn't use CDN either and uses minimal cache ( for non-logged in users ). But yes the hardware is quite far apart. My opinion is that I dont think we should settle for 500ms response time as acceptable. But then it is quite costly on Heroku......

> best to treat everything as propaganda unless proven otherwise

This comment is always near the top of any HN or Reddit post, and while it’s not wrong, it’s almost a cliche at this point.

There is clear misinformation being pumped out, but there is room to discuss should why it might be misinformation, and to understand why someone might have spent time carefully producing it.
> I think ultimately, at the end of the day, I expect and hope that every human I work with is a competent, solid individual contributor and does not require a co-driver to produce meaningful work.

IMO this is a very wrong way to look at pairing. It's not about one person being incapable of delivering a solution on their own, it's that having multiple perspectives on the code will lead to a higher quality and more well designed product.

You could use the same argument you're using to say we shouldn't do code reviews, because we should trust that every developer is competent.

Also, at least in my experience, design isn't primarily or even mostly confined to an initial design phase. Most of the 'design' of a problem occurs when you're actually coding.

I had to shoehorn a bunch of functionality into a shopping cart system for Ruby on rails called spree. I think it's named something else now.

The items could be extremely customized and that became very difficult, including things like calculating the cart price.

It also felt like the most fragile system I wrote, but to my knowledge it's still running about six years later.

The majority of my web work, though, was not very technically challenging.

I don't think it's 'waste' to use something differently.
> the West's response was that even Ukraine not joining NATO was out of the question,

No, it wasn't. Ukraine not joining NATO is the status quo. It is obviously acceptable to NATO, though Ukraine isn't too happy about it.

Ukraine’s response was that permanently ruling out NATO membership was unacceptable.

NATO's response was that every single other element was unacceptable, including the permanent ban on NATO expansion (which, of course, would ban Ukraine from membership whether or not Ukraine accepted what was demanded of it.)

> including atomic weapons (which is a requirement of nations that join NATO),

That description is simply false as a characterization of the nuclear sharing arrangement you cite to support it. NATO nuclear sharing agreements all predate the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and no country that has joined NATO since Turkey (and only a few of the earlier ones) has one. They are not required of countries that join NATO, or even available to them.

Also, pedantically, describing them as dealing with “atomic” weapons is incorrect, as that phrase refers to a specific subset of nuclear weapons, and all weapons known to be deployed under nuclear sharing arrangements — because it's what the dual-use aircraft they are tied to are made to deliver — are B61 thermonuclear, not atomic, bombs.
“Allowing unproductive distractions” is one of the major reason why I think home office is fundamentally less productive, no matter how much people have come to like it. Pair programming through screen sharing works fine on a technical level, but you can’t turn off children.
This is both morally (are Americans responsible for Bush’s & Obama’s wars? Should they stop paying taxes? They’re clearly much richer than Russians) and factually (North Korea hasn’t collapsed yet) wrong.
This one poses the most danger to us all, far more than tin-pot dictators elsewhere. It’s right to be prioritising this.
No idea what any of that means. I accumulated a page of statistics in order to try to understand what "1 in 10000" means in practice, just as I read your comments to try to understand what Hertz's policies mean in practice, which were very helpful, thank you. Then I shared that page of statistics in order to share that understanding, just as you were kind enough to share your understanding with me.
What does "nutritionally complete" mean?

People on vegan or vegetarian diets must take supplements for various minerals, notably B12 vitamin, but also iron, zinc and a few others to avoid becoming deficient in them. Is a meal "nutritionally complete" when it is missing necessary nutrients?
In-country.
But it may hinder short-term survival (because you're spending time reinventing the wheel instead of building competitive product).

Alicante has an awfully high unemployment rate and is widely known as a run down area -you just have to look at some of the properties you linked-, except for a few towns in the Costa Blanca.

Alicante is in no way representative of Spain. It should be very close to the bottom of the list, if not at the very bottom.

> I have a high german salary and chose to live here in Spain because quality of life is much higher than in central Europe, including Baden-Württemberg, Czechia, Poland, etc.

Guess what, most people working in Spain don't have "high German salaries".

Also, the average engineer in Alicante makes way less than 40k. Actually, there's a ~20% chance that they don't have a job in the first place. The average senior engineer makes about 45k in the most expensive areas of the country, before paying ~20-25% of it in taxes.

Keep in mind that 43% of Spaniards save less than €100 a month, with 23% of the population not saving any money at all. https://www.europapress.es/economia/finanzas-00340/noticia-4...
Forget for a second the security concerns -

If you lose :latest, and the build breaks, you need to spend unexpected time fixing the build, for whatever reason that :latest broke it, in order to continue with the business objective that you were actually tasked to do. Essentially, you have InfoSec muscling in and demanding, by the most coercive way possible, that Thou Shalt Not Do Your Job Without Bowing Before Me. Who cares what the business wanted? Who cares about predictable schedules? Who cares about delivering for a customer by a point in time which was promised to the customer?

This isn't the way to promote a healthy culture in the company. Nobody should get immediate and total veto rights. In the real world, healthy organizations balance between different stakeholders, and once a path is set, everybody shuts up and executes. The right place to make a stand for your interests is in the stakeholder meeting, not the deployment pipeline.
Don't forget that the Russians practically trained Ukraine for 8 years and they got additional training/arms from the west in the meantime.

Russia was getting much less efficient in Ukraine and the situation was pretty dire ( water was cut off)

when was the last time bellingcat published anything that was not in favour of the western spin? Perhaps the houthi drone strike, but even then you could view it as downplaying houthi's capabilities.

The claimed "fact" that bellingcat somehow has FSB contacts that are willing to verify material seems like even bigger stretch.
> People in a fascist society may work a well-paid job in a clean glassy high-rise

Just like under fascism in Italy and Germany. Most people would spend their attention on work and entertainment, often avoiding discussing politics and ignore dissenting voices outside of the overton window.

None have a PC-architecture (x86+other HW standards), so no, they aren't. It would be possible to make a microcontroller that can, but nobody does. Intel did make a few experiments with x86 microcontrollers, but even those were afaik not PC-like enough, because you generally don't want a lot of those things in a microcontroller.
Rather than filtering from one perspective like Mearsheimers I find it interesting to see what both sides argue. But from the Russian side you get stuff like

>Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov set out Russia’s objectives in the Eastern European nation.

>“After the 2014 coup d’état, Ukraine has become influenced by Nazi ideology. We want to free her from this ideology,” he claimed.

Which doesn't really make sense with a democratically elected jewish former comedian being president. (thats from https://www.rt.com/russia/551294-kremlin-goal-ukraine-offens...)
Given that any stock is a function over time as well, there should theoretically exist a neural net that can approximate the stock price for the future? This reasoning is obviously wrong, what is my exact error of thought though?
Anytime you have multiple independent companies who are competitive with each other collaborating on a shared standard, progress is going to be slow.

This is especially exacerbated in web browsers when a participant with a large market share intentionally stalls progress for competitive reasons (Safari, when web browser functionality gets too close to native apps).

any “well behaved” function.
Whether fake or not, it is definitely adding some perspectives I didn't see up until now. For example, I have not considered the possibility of Kadyrov position not being very stable if he loses (or already lost) his soldiers in something that was supposed to be short and glorious war.

Same with how does Russia keep their Syria effort supplied when their logistics in Ukraine are already stretched.

So this is definitely written by some analyst, but who knows if from FSB.
Becoming a parasite on the larger critters requires adaptation of the feeding apparatus to an extent that may not be compatable with the previous modes of living. Those hosts are big and have plenty of fat, there's a forest of others feeding off them already, seems like a great niche, no?
I think that's the mark of effective satire though - or it can be, I'd say there's a spectrum. Some satire needs to call itself out to the audience - make it clear what it is going after, and why. Others is the latter half of it - and Starship Troopers is definitely in this category - play it so straight that you do have to actually key in to it, and it might not hit right away.

I was early teens when I watched it, so while the "do you want to know more?" definitely hit as a "okay this is kind of absurd" we were definitely there for action and bugs exploding. But it certainly hit different when I revisited it and you realize just how effective a satire it is at pretty much every level.

And I think that's the important part: you can totally miss the point of the movie, and that's basically critical to it's message: it is written and structured as fascist propaganda, and the fact that that can seem reasonable if you accept it uncritically is the message - it's a whole movie which very subtly is pointing out that fascism and its death cult heroism worship is exactly that, but because we dressed it up to look pretty while making what's happening abundantly clear on screen (you die horrifically in a pointless war), you're almost thinking this is reasonable.
How fast is the serial interface over USB? (What you need if you want to connect it to a normal PC)
nationalism is surely on the decline, but we can't replace it with nothing.
That certainly is the case. Not for statistics specifically, but all the people at the top of the field, Bengio, LeCunn, Schmidhuber, Hinton, and so on, all have deep backgrounds in computer science, maths, psychology, statistics, physics, AI, etc. You don't get to make progress in a field as saturated as deep learning when all you know how to do is throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

I never said anything about needing to look down on anyone. Where did that come from?

My concern is that without a solid background in AI, no innovation can happen, because innovation means doing something entirely new and one cannot figure out what "entirely new" means, without knowing what has been done before. The people who "are trying out different things to see how they perform" as you say, are forced to do that because that's all you can do when you don't understand what you're doing.
> In reality, you probably need a mechanism to enforce tag immutability: e.g., your own registry mirror.

Ah, that sounds so trivial. And yet it is very much not. Aside from the hot mess that is the docker registry daemon, some tags are meant to be rolling. You absolutely do not want them cached.

Ukraine's Nazi problem is real, even if Putin's 'denazification' claim isn't
I think it's good that's it's always near the top. There should be a sticky added to the top of every political post here. Something like:

> Reminder: there's a war going on and one of the main weapons in modern warfare is propaganda. The propaganda will come from both sides and also from third parties. Be mindful that any political articles may be intended to manipulate you.
The fact that there was no order of mobilization or sending dissidents to the frontlines is verifiable, for example (people were expecting this to hit on March 4th).

I don't have any piece of advice specific to dating apps. A good general thing is to put a Screen Time/Digital Wellbeing widget on your homescreen, so that you see how much time you spend in a particular app. If you get over 1h / day and it's not for stuff like business or personal communication, then it might be time for a reset (removing the app for a few days, logging out of it, setting limits).
Not at all. Like most social constructs, tribalism can be learned and unlearned.

Amplified or quenched.

Applied in harmless ways like having a favorite musician or sportsball team or in very harmful ways like racism/nationalism/ethnocentrism/sexism.
I like :visited. It’s useful. I don’t want browsers to disable it, but developers to stop clobbering and disabling it on their sites.

Any site I make will have sane blue underlined links and purple underlined visited links. I’m willing to vary the shades of blue and purple, and I prefer to reduce the opacity of the underline when not interacting with the link, but I say general links should be blue and purple and underlined, and anything else is troublemaking.

(In https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3012, there’s talk of changing :visited to essentially work from the site’s perspective—exposing only history that the site could have tracked itself—rather than for the user as global visitedness does. This makes me sad, though I quite understand the perspective; to me, :visited has always been about the user, even though such first-party link following is its primary use.)
In that example network, the Chinese, US, Russian, Israeli and other firewall vendors with their products in series could all have access to the network as each of them has implemented a backdoor that triggers on a hidden condition such as HMAC(secret_backdoor_key, CONCAT(ip.source_address, tcp.source_port, ip.destination_address, tcp.destination_port)) == tcp.sequence_number.

Obviously if such a scenario were to play out, a backdoor would be designed to look like a mistaken bug in the software (also making it very hard to detect) rather than the simple example.

Fault tolerant architectures such as N-modular redundancy[1] (typically used in the aerospace sector) may provide a more accurate architecture up front. Making protocols much more deterministic and only using nothing-up-my-sleeve numbers would be a good line of investigation.

I use Firefox Focus. It deletes your history each time you close the app. I find I never need my history, so I’m happy to have it deleted regularly. Others seem to use their history and tabs, so YMMV.
Your reasoning is not wrong, there is a neural net that approximates future stock price. The problem is we don’t know which one :)
It would be the same as predicting the future, which is not possible using past performance
It is not wrong.

It is just that the neural network would have to compute a model of the entire world or even the universe on an atomic scale. It would be computationally unfeasible but not theoretically impossible.

It is theoretically possible that the universe we live is already being computed on a neural network in some other external universe.

You might "suffer" from Aphantasia[1]. I learned about this a few years ago. Before I thought it to be totally normal to not "see" any images in my head. Turns out it really isn't that normal. There is definitely a grey area here but for me it's pretty black. I cannot imagine any picture in that sense. I also play chess and it always was a mystery to me how people can play blindfolded.

I always got lost somewhere in the middle game.. probably just because I could not visualize the board in my head. I am still pretty good at calculating tactics in chess and Go.. so it's hard to say what is actually important for what aspect of the game.. the brain is a complex beast!

I'd assumed "jamming" is when something actively disrupts communication, not passively prohibits the signal from reaching its intended recipient, which sounds more like "shielding".
