All in one JSON tools for your need, including JSON diff, format, escape and so on. Because I can't find an online tool which meets all my requirements (eg. char-by-char compares, int64 support, sync scroll), so I built it by myself with Astro + Vue3.
omg, you're 17! I am as well, see my comment [0].

the only thing I know about Tcl is that git uses the tcl language to generate the git gui and gitk programs.

Did it minimize the amount of spread?

If I’m not mistaken, the expected outcome is that there would still be some cases but drastically reduced numbers compared to a full blown outbreak from doing little or nothing.

The Rise of the 9 p.m. Work Hour
Up through 7 is defined within the same group for Cloud, afaik, which is almost certainly the relevant portion of the company.

> Plus the folks at that level would be the one defining the goals, so it seems logical that they can't get promoted on that criteria.

Fwiw you start defining goals and L6 (or even 5), that's one of the defining characteristic of 6 vs. 5, you can't get to 6 from execution alone, you need to be setting roadmaps that impact beyond your team. And at 7 and 8, the scope of both people and technology get's larger. A strong-L7/just promo'd L8 would probably be expected to exert direct influence over an organization of around 100 fulltime engineers (caveat: I'm saying this from below, but it fits what I've seen).

Which is to say that the positions in k8s that qualify for L7/L8 promo-worthy work are to a first approximation, just the steering committee. And that looks like it's working as intended: the steering committee is full of people who are Principal or Distinguished (or more in some cases) engineers and manager equivalents from a variety of companies.
It's super frustrating that AWS has no equivalent to GCP's Cloud Run which offers fast startup, scales to zero but offers the flexibility and simply exposing HTTP to the container it runs.

Lambda has scale to zero and fast startup but its custom RPC interface (presumably an outgrowth of its batch processing origins) does not support streaming responses, has awkward response size limits, and prevents multiple requests from being executed concurrently on the same instance (so caches cannot be shared.)

Fargate provides the flexibility from simply running an HTTP server inside a container but at the cost of slower startup and no ability to scale to zero.

Pretty simple Jekyll / GH Pages site whose layout and style survived its former Wordpress days. Intended to do more writing about medical topics, but is almost exclusively hobbyist-level tech stuff.

Heh. OK for fun:

They have a very finite amount of new articles a day and a little box on the page with personalized headlines. All these articles, in fact all the articles on BBC of all time ever, comfortably fit into ram if you are so inclined.

Those little linodes have fast enough SSDs, try playing around and use one of countless stress loaders to get a feel.

I've served hundreds of thousands of requests a second from a single server using Varnish. A well tuned beefy VPS would do tens of thousands.

How to "personalize"?

For example Varnish has this thing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_Side_Includes
https://varnish-cache.org/docs/6.0/reference/vcl.html

It will happily read whatever cookie you set and stitch together a remixed personalized page for all the BBC users in the world without a performance penalty much faster than your lambda cold starts.

CDNs sometimes let you hook into Varnish directly or expose something similar to essentially do exactly this.

The aim of the game of the guy who wrote that blog post is to reinvent something from the 90s, but worse, and blog about it.
Can you use opaque types to make “value-like” matrix/vector types like vec3, vec4, mat4, etc.? This was the biggest reason I eliminated the Java platform as an option for using it in gamedev. The alternative for Project Valhalla is to either live with the GC costs or use a hack from LWJGL (MemoryStack) which is very unergonomic to use.

But it's not an apples to apples comparison.

Generating static files has a smaller attack vector than running an executable on a server.

Keeping a service up and running over a long period of time is much more work than using generic static site hosting.

HTML that works today will likely still work in 10 years time, but a binary you compile today most likely won't, or at least, you'll have wanted to have changed up your server.
Go figure, contributions to a multi-vendor consortium that just barely makes a marginal profit for an already marginal business unit (GCP) are not as highly valued as things that can be directly connected to revenues. This is not surprising in the least.

Perhaps obviously, Mr. Kantrowitz hasn't quit, or been poached by a competitor, so I would say Google's (cynical) comp and promo policy is working out just great for them. Whatever personal interest keeps Mr. Kantrowitz going is working out for them!
IIRC GNU's /bin/true also has massive performance advantage. I am not able to find it presently, but an old post tried to reverse engineer it, and turns out it does caching and whatnot to get something like 12 GBps throughput.

Yup! They’re the best <3
There’s definitely a lot of competition but 1 Billion is probably not the right number.

From the Wikipedia page for the examination required to get into Universities in HK, the number of test takers in 2020 is:

52,687 [0].

This doesn’t include students using international exams to get in, but that seems to be a fraction of this number.

Still very challenging but not 1 billion challenging.

Czeckia is in the EU customs union and therefore for the purposes of land-locked or not land-locked, Czeckia has ports at its disposal. In fact Czeckia can use Gdańsk without penalty.

The reason landlocked countries have lower GDP is that they have to negotiate trade agreements at a disadvantage with small numbers of neighbours rather than just shipping goods to the whole world over the seas.

US: 2 Posed as agents, gave gifts to Secret Service officers
https://seirdy.one/

Seems like a really simple site that uses a mix of browser defaults with light CSS enhancements, but I put about 13k words of thought into it:

https://seirdy.one/2020/11/23/website-best-practices.html

It's really hard to get a site to work well on a <2-inch (<5cm) viewport with switch access for astigmatic colorblind users on a feature phone experiencing packet loss, but I think I pulled it off nicely. CSS-optional, no JS (blocked by CSP).

Also has mirrors to a Tor hidden Web service and a Gemini capsule, all hosted on the same VPS.

I like the "small web" and joined a few webrings (and Gemini orbits), and try to make this static site a member of the IndieWeb.

Bookmarks are generated from my bookmarks manager, WIP music ratings from MPD coming soon.

An incomplete list of use-cases I tried to accommodate:

- Screen readers

- Switch access

- Keyboard navigation, with the Tab key or caret navigation

- Navigating with hand-tremors

- Content extraction (e.g. “Reader Mode”)

- Low-bandwidth connections

- Unreliable, lossy connections

- Metered connections

- Hostile networks

- Downloading offline copies

- Very narrow viewports (much narrower than a phablet)

- Mobile devices in landscape mode

- Frequent window-resizers (e.g. users of tiled-window setups)

- Printouts, especially when paper and ink are rationed (common in schools)

- Textual browsers

- Uncommon graphical browsers

- the Tor Browser (separate from “uncommon browsers” because of how “safest” mode is often incompatible with progressive enhancement and graceful degradation)

- Disabling JavaScript (overlaps with the Tor Browser)

- Non-default color palettes

- Aggressive content blocking (e.g. blocking all third-party content, frames, images, and cookies)

- User-selected custom fonts

- Stylesheet removal, alteration, or replacement

- Machine translation to right-to-left languages
You only end up with length issues if you don't use a big enough pad.

Just use a one-time pad that is uncountably infinite in length and require messages to be at most countably infinite in length. Sure you burn infinite bits on each message, but you'll never run out or reuse bits in the pad.
> Ketamine/MDMA/LSD/Psilocybin and their derivatives are on their way to being recognized as the safest, most effective, and widely available medicines - for nearly every common mental health disorder - currently known to humanity.

This sounds like a utopian fantasy.

Ketamine can be useful, but like I said it’s not a long-term solution.

MDMA isn’t really safe for extended use. Even the MDMA enthusiasts will agree with that one.

Psilocybin is being studied in conjunction with 10-20 therapy sessions. If you’re attributing the positive effects from studies to the drug alone, that’s incorrect. Someone taking MDMA or mushrooms on their own is nothing like what’s being studied.

I’m optimistic about future research, but if you think Ketamine, MDMA, and Psilocybin are the safest and most effective drugs available for “nearly all” mental health issues then you’re not really discussing the research, you’re discussing a utopian fantasy. Even the researchers I know in this space aren’t anywhere near that idealistic. Let’s be realistic.
Loving the game so far!

Very similar feel to The Room, but in text adventure style.
Weird story, sounds like a textbook example of social engineering.
I feel you're looking a few levels into the decision tree of Hugo then using that level as the root of a decision tree to review all the other choices. There's not really a feasible way an individual can cut out a programming language or rebuild large portions of the stdlib like HTTPS and end up with something that's easy to maintain or reliable (or time feasible). There ARE easy ways an individual can generate static HTML without pulling in 1200 dependencies. Should there not have been a reasonable alternative to generating static pages that better aligned with the author's stated goals then sure, Hugo+Github would make just as much sense as pulling in the Linux, bash, and go dependencies did.

With GitHub I didn't catch that the reasons revolving around SLA/uptime percentages rather non-breaking change intervals and probability the service will exist usable as is in 10 years. Migrating to another host doesn't necessarily fix this unless there is a particular one to mention that will guarantee existence of the exact method of operation for the next decade and have a solid guarantee for the service to be offered as is for that long. The choices of Golang's stdlib and Linux provide reasonably solid choices in this regard as neither is going to change in a way that breaks deploying/running the site unless they _absolutely_ need to and both have about as big of support backing as one could reasonably expect to find so are unlikely to pull the rug out from the site on the premise of moving on to something newer and shinier like business offerings are often changed/deprecated for.

Certificates I definitely see a closer balance/argument on. On one hand the Github Pages way is really easy, they do it for you. On the other hand they are trying to avoid services that can disappear from them and are probably using ACME which seems to be pointed at Let's Encrypt right now. If for some reason Let's Encrypt did disappear though, which I'll be honest I'm on the side of that being less likely than some breaking change in the way an automated Github Pages hosted static site would function but I can see that being debated either way, at least it's not particularly hard to change the ACME provider for such a case. There may also be some personal sway on whether it's better to manage your own security certificates or not but I also can see that falling to either side depending on the person.

Regardless of choice the toolchain is going to have to be kept up to date to stay secure. There isn't any option to choose which is indefinitely secure and without security bugs.
The Earth is in constant but mostly slow change with some abrupt changes which change the landscape and seascape at enormous scale -earthquakes, eruptions, plate tectonics, etc. Bugs and mammals burrow and alter the earth digging up lots of soil. Change is constant. The difference here is that it's mechanized -although there are hand mined mines in some areas of the world too.

When we look to migrate form fossil fuels to electric and need batteries for storage and transport, we necessarily will scar Earth mining for minerals. Do we stop?
Agreed but the stretchy consistent consistency makes me feel like I’m eating an ace bandage.
> Certainly I have some level of expectation that if I delete something, it may very well actually be gone, right?

Really? For me this is like saying that just because you stop actively publishing a book, people can never quote it again. That's clearly not true, right?

You're definitely not having a stroke. Here is another thread discussing the same thing. I specifically remember the 'polycule' comments. It was my first time learning about that word.

SQLite doesn't do "lines" like a text file, or truncate anything(Or, it probably does internally, but that's not how users think of it).

It's a real SQL DB with real records and transactions, and it is one of the most trusted and reliable pieces of software ever made. Like, check out the change log to get a sense of how they do stuff.
And probably the one with the single highest number of programming languages for which it is a valid quine[1].
Lots of great blogs here!

The PSP (Playstation Portable) was a MIPS device too.

My last encounter with MIPS was a payment terminal I worked on in 2014, which sadly never made it to market. There was a company making 'secure' variants with a variety of hardware features suited to payment terminals - a hardware TRNG, a couple of pins which transmitted and received a TRNG signal constantly, so that you could attach a tamper-detection wire and brick the device if it broke, key-erasure features etc.

It’s a Wordpress install. I’ve spent a fair bit of time contemplating a move to a static site generator. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I really like Wordpress. I find the editor is easy and it gets out of my way.
Not sure how long you've been at or spent at Amazon, but the promotion process doesn't prioritize building new things at all. It's true that people think complexity = build new things, but promotion criteria specifically encourage people to stick to simple things and build on top of what exists rather than invent something new for promotion's sake.

There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors.
I have literal dozens of these kinds (Node+Express under PM2) of small apps running around everywhere in production (almost 8 years = almost a decade ;). Using SQLite (when you need an actual DB) makes things a lot easier in this regard as well.

I've tried doing some thing in Python (my initial programming love) over the years but I keep going insane because every time I'm forced to read up on the state of ecosystem (choosing versions and package managers and whatnot) and it drives me insane. I just install Node+Express and can get to work immediately (and finish quickly).
They are all a bit out of date, but have been passion projects.

This doesn't appear to be a valid alternative to Gitbook. I couldn't even see a git integration feature which is a/the key feature of Gitbook. This feels more like an alternative to the plethora of static site generators that already exist.
This is insane. I can't understand these numbers. No wonder the Bay Area has become completely unaffordable for long-term residents.

Nix Flakes: Exposing and Using NixOS Modules
There's a good reason so many nations that were formerly dominated by Russia are now exceeding them in GDP per capita.

“Isn’t ruled by Vladimir Putin” is highly predictive of GDP, but “has a warm-water port” is far more predictive.

Who is doing well? Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Georgia, Azerbaijan.

Who isn’t doing well? Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Tajikistan…

There are other variables. “Who has oil”, for example. But “who has unencumbered access to world trade through the sea” is the best.

With telehealth the US is way ahead of the curve with this one. It's easy enough to find a clinic that will prescribe the dissolvable troches for at home use, so you can use them during your own meditation/integration sessions in the comfort of your home. There is a lot of fuss about IV being more bioavailable and all that but it really is so much easier and at the end of the day you can have the same effect cheaper, safely, and no fuss when taking the troches at home.

No I didn't. I mentioned my anecdotal experiences as supporting evidence but ultimately the thesis is that selectivity is causal to difficulty.

I never mentioned that it was specific to my school. Thus with no specific mention the implied meaning is that it's applied to a generality.

Having participated in full on rearchitectures to Kubernetes several times at this point I can say that it wasn't justified a single time, even at the 10^4 microservice scale. Now having participated in several fairly-effortless rollouts of Nomad and arrived at a better place, it's funny to watch the rest of the industry cargo cult.

I actually don't believe that either of these solutions are going to be a long-term settled end state (though Nomad with Firecracker, or really any other Firecracker-centric solution that isn't k8s will have some legs) the industry falls on, but I agree wholeheartedly that Kubernetes is purely a distraction having seen the pain and the gnashing of teeth.

Every painless Kubernetes story that I've seen is at a scale where Kubernetes wasn't even necessary/justifiable and another solution would have been even simpler. But at least it's good for the resume.

And Helm charts are are akin K8s' own borgcfg. We're doomed to repeat our mistakes it seems.

I think you are only a huge fan of blueprints because they is no alternatives in Unreal. I think if you could compare an Unreal Lua integration to Blueprints you would reach for Lua every time.

Everything you wrote is just as true for a well written text program, and untrue for badly written blueprint spaghetti!
And yet you might still be right: If an empty file gets parsed and executed by the shell[1], the shell's initialization code might make things much slower than a small C program.

[1] Which is a valid assumption, as it's often the default (not sure if it's POSIX[2]), e.g. this gets clearly executed by my shell despite not having a shebang or anything else:

echo 'echo $SHELL' > /tmp/foo; chmod +x /tmp/foo; /tmp/foo

[2] Edit: It is POSIX, I know now because there's a whole subthread about it further down, that even quotes the standard, thanks gnarula.
