It depends. If you're like Russia and only have limited stocks of PGMs, then you're stuck using dumb bombs and S-8 unguided rockets. So you either bomb from high altitude, which isn't really air support, much less CAS, or you get down in the weeds where you're facing Igla, Starstreak, Stinger, or Groms. Those will ruin your day pretty quick, and a plane flying CAS is much easier to see (and hear) than a tank. And if you're a helicopter, the same rules apply.

Tactical aircraft in Ukraine is also targeted by Buk/Tor/Tunguska, but I believe most of the aircraft and helo losses have been due to MANPADs.

Now the US is realizing that what it once thought of as robust stocks of PGMs may not be enough for a high-intensity conflict. Production rates of Javelin are pretty slow, and the Stinger has been out of production for a while with no planned replacement. The US Army has always given air defense low priority, counting on the USAF to provide air supremacy. Against a near pear, that might not be the wisest choice, and doesn't help with drones anyways.
When one form of censorship is coming from private companies and the other form of censorship is coming from the government, I am definitely more concerned about the latter than the former.

Have you considered an OLAP database like Clickhouse or QuestDB? An OLAP database would be a much better fit for audit tables given the read and append-only writing requirements, would compress better, and you might be able to fit it directly without changing any app code with a Postgresql foreign data wrapper.
There has not been an AI winter in at least a decade, arguably more.
I wrote a short thread about that noting the differences between wordpress/blogger. It begins:

An example of a product that's JOYOUS to use is Substack. It feels beautiful to write and format. There aren't tons of distracting non-features. The product team seems to consistently look for how people are using it and make sure they can use it in those ways better.

It's especially incredible in a world where Blogger and WordPress both languished for years, never bothering to simply make the authoring process pleasant. Medium was able to do this, and had a good start because of it, then (inexplicably) found 5000 ways to drop the ball.

This seems borderline impossible? I'd be curious if there were missing indexes or bad index selection or efforts to do things like joins? Normally for very large data sets you can shard by account if needed if that's the common filter if there is some insane table scan. Audit stuff tends to be "sparse" so if you can get an index which just tells you which pages have results, that is usually a 100X speedup with a pretty small index size.

But agreed, a daily dump to something can go a long way to unlocking other tools - in govt this is especially true not because the DBMS is hard to use, but because so many layers of consultants and others in the way it's not usable.
Blind bidding leads to more conservative offers because noone wants to grossly overbid on a house. The ceiling is basically what you think is "fair". The seller will then make a decision with very little back and forth - generally they will give you one chance to "improve" your offer.

Now, in an open bidding system, you are literally in competition for who can/is willing to pay the most for the home. The ceiling is what you can/willing to afford - back and forth with other bidders until literally the highest price is extracted.

I firmly believe that as a whole, the Fediverse needs diversity in software implementations. While I like Mastodon, I don't like to see the Fediverse heavily weighted towards being the "Mastoverse". As much as I myself cheer Mastodon on, people should also be cheering on all the other component projects that make up the network.

I've actually never seen the phenomenon through this lens, but I like it!

I think the clearest indicator that this is going on is when you can circumvent the process arbitrarily. Two example memories spring to mind:

In a visa office: "fill out form X, you can get one from the table over there" / "There are none left" / "OK never mind give me your passport and I'll stamp it".

At my Big Tech employer: "please fill out this document template detailing the update and version history of your service, for an audit" / "really? This looks time consuming and I don't really understand the the reason why you need it" / "OK, never mind then"

(Actually, at Big Tech I have found that replying along the lines of "really though?" is a very good first response when confronted with Processes. Sometimes when reporting bugs the template asks you to e.g. gather traces with browser extensions or whatever. I always say "I will do that if you first confirm that it will actually be useful for this bug" and haven't yet received such a confirmation)
Well exactly, you're a low value target, a 0$ value target, a bad actor would actually loose money by trying to spam you, so of course no one even tried, but you could be spammed to death in less than a hour of work

>If your forms are juicy goals for targeted attacks this might be a different matter, but how about just paying a bunch of devs to program it for your state and open-source it?

Because it's a really hard problem and it would cost a lot of money while probably not even being really effective, and reducing your revenue at the same time because your UX is probably a lot more terrible than the existing solutions?

+BTW the captcha in recaptcha is not even the main value of this service, the main value is the bot detection algorithms that run before/during/after the captcha, which gives you a "human/bot" score before you even filled the captcha

1) No one calls anyone "ToFu" (in English anyway.)

2) Saying "no black" doesn't refer to people anymore than saying "no white." (you wouldn't capitalize it outside of titles since "the black/white components" are common nouns and not proper nouns.)

3) A lot of people are tired of hearing benine, productive, or even virtuous things being called racist to the point that some of the younger people are becoming intentionally racist due to their natural contrarianism. Nitpicky complaints like this are likely counter productive if your goal is to end bigotry.
Well this certainly explains MacArthur Park.

Question about https://edge-functions-examples.netlify.app/example/rewrite

export default async (request: Request, context: Context) => {
return context.rewrite("/something-to-serve-with-a-rewrite");
};

I'm surprised that the function is async but context.rewrite() doesn't use an await. Is that because the rewrite is handed back off to another level of the Netlify stack to process?

We know that for writers, Substack normally charges 10% of subscription revenue. Also, some writers said they would have made more money taking the normal deal over the Pro deal.

However, a guaranteed paycheck for the first year is lower risk, so they took the deal.

This all depend on your own efforts building an audience and it's still the case that most authors won't make much. But it seems like better terms than Spotify for moderately successful authors.
Well it explains how a fraction of a percent edge can grow to an outsized +75% annualized return -- in that way you're right, by definition there's going to be leverage -- but how do they get that kind of leverage at their scale?

If anyone tells you how exactly they are consistently getting an edge then I'm afraid that you're listening to a conman that's eventually going to try to sell you something.
Not just blamed; they were also ruthlessly bombed. The impact was the opposite of what was expected: instead of revolting Germans were even more galvanized in supporting Hitler.
Oh yea I definitely think EVs are the future and to the extent that we have vehicles, in the majority of cases they should be EV. I guess what I'd say here is that even at a reduced cost (which is arguable) for a "commute" (self-driving, etc.) you aren't going to get EVs cheap enough to offset b/c the very act of driving 10, 20, 40, miles to a job or driving a mile down the road to the grocery store is just incomparable to just better design. If your grocery store is within a half mile and you can walk or bike there, EVs could never compete. So it's kind of like we're improving the technology of something we shouldn't be doing, versus just not doing that thing.

If I had to completely armchair it here, if you looked at total impact to society, the environment, car accidents, you name it something like a gallon of gas in the US should really be about $20-$30/gallon but it feels like it's expensive at $5 b/c we're so used to the low prices. We are probably experiencing these costs through inflation and things like housing prices.

Renewables (should) drop overall energy costs by virtue of capturing natural movements (I'd throw nuclear in renewable as well IMO but I understand why you wouldn't) but people are going to focus on kWh being expensive because they're used to extremely cheap gasoline. I guess in other words renewables on paper will be more expensive "at the pump" but externality cost to society will be lower. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future as more EVs come online that energy costs to charge even at home are approximate to gasoline.
> No ads, no nonsense, just the text.

I tried it out and was kind of shocked by the formatting lock-in and all the embedded tracking... I couldn't make it just default to plain text and I wasn't sure what the GDPR implications would be, i.e. whether I as an EU resident can do a Substack newsletter for EU subscribers and if so what do I have to ask them to agree to exactly.

But yeah if you don't care about that stuff it's pretty frictionless and I will probably give it another try if I get my newsletter act together. And I like that I can save Substack articles (the web versions) to Pocket for plain-text reading offline, a lot of sites don't support that.

> Dunking on social media tells our monkey brain that we are rising in prominence, even though by next week people will have forgotten and moved on to the next round of gossip. Advanced tech exploits the brains of ideologues, who then create a culture where others spend too much time pledging fealty to ideologies rather than developing new ideas and technology for the benefit of humankind.

The word "ideologue," is key because it's a thought terminating cliche we use as an epithet to describe the people we don't agree with, instead of what it precisely is - a pattern of thinking that iterates the logic of an underlying idea. It may not even be on a chosen belief, but just a symbol for something we picked up and used as a stub for a concept.

I just assume people persecute each other because they love it, and instead, I index on finding people who aren't as addicted to that kind of conflict, as there are enough people in the world that arguing with any one of them is an opportunity cost against living. Maybe this is the real impact of the internet - when your potential Dunbar number and opporutunity now seems infinite, we can replace any person we have a conflict with, with just another more agreeable and validating avatar on the screen.

That fast, swipe-left culture filter not only rewards intolerance, but even imposes opportunity costs on tolerance because tolerance consumes time that could be applied to swiping until you get validation, and exposes you to defending against the infinite persecution of whomever you are tolerating. I'd be concerned about what human quality is atrophying as a result of not exercising the experience the tech has automated and replaced. It's not empathy, it's something more real and consequential like courage, dignity, or compassion.

The article is important, but I don't think there is a back or an undo we can reason ourselves back to as a culture. It's just a matter of finding new minds to equip with freedom and set to building again.
NFTs in a nutshell.
I guess this is a valid way to frame the problem (and I personally agreed with moving it), but I'd also quibble a bit...

- IIRC, ~stakeholders weren't keen on relocating it just on macOS because it would require a separate set of build/cache infrastructure (and it sounded like the macOS+Nix community would be on the hook for supporting it).

- There did actually seem to be a fair amount of support for moving it globally (and Eelco, while skeptical, didn't sound like he was going to stand in the way), but the coordination work sounded significant to me.

- Also, I think the circular arguments around relocating /nix played their own role in the inaction/bystanding that let the problem fester (as did, to be fair, fear/uncertainty about whether Apple would later ~secure whatever new location was chosen).

I can't read the article, but it's my impression that high sodium isn't as much a threat to general health as increased BP is. I'd like to know what sodium reduction did for BP, and how much the two groups then differed.

If the goal for patients is not reduction of BP, then the presumption of this study is that sodium is affecting the heart and vessels in more complex ways than pressure alone, and such patients might suffer in a diverse multitude of complex ways that are much harder to attribute directly to the level of sodium.

The authors' conclusion seems to be only that the correlation between sodium intake and death in heart patients is not simple and linear.

> Until we know for sure that their management is really aligned with their government agenda, whatever they say, or don't say, now has zero credibility because it could be extorted from above.

Em... We know, actually.

Simply because the current management is assigned to manage Yandex by Kremlin. It's the same case with VKontakte and MailRu. We have Telegram, because Kremlin pushed Durov out of the company.

So before you deflect - maybe ask Russian people that know what was happening in Russia for the last 20 years.

As a hobbyist game dev of ~1 year what I really want is a "multiplayer: the hard way" guide so I can learn how to do multiplayer on my own. My mental model of how multiplayer games actually work is basically full of holes and question marks. I haven't found that something yet.

I've been focusing on single player experiences because I haven't found that comprehensive guide that explains the nuts and bolts of multiplayer for video games. If I knew more then I could pull in more of my software engineering knowledge.

I fear that there is more incentive to create projects like this to hide that knowledge away from game developers than to thoroughly explain how to build one's own multiplayer solution.

I post this here in case someone knows of such a comprehensive guide for multiplayer.

At my company, I use nix to manage "external dependencies" but still just use language tools for language-specific dependencies. So for instance, I pull Ruby, plus all the common C libraries used in Ruby native extensions into a shell.nix, but otherwise the Ruby workflow is identical to any other.

Same with JVM stuff. We use Bazel for that. But I use nix to install bazel + a java toolchain.

Nix works so much better than Homebrew, since its easy to pin to an exact commit of nixpkgs.

I definitely wouldn't want to force Nix into well established language workflows, but I am extremely pleased with it for managing package dependencies and development environments in a reproducible way. I'd love to extend it to building Docker images, but I haven't made it that far yet. :)

WASM still needs an interface layer to interact with the outside world (filesystem, etc.) My money is on WASI, but Deno becoming the interface layer has some advantages, mainly that most WASM-supporting languages already have tooling around JavaScript ffi.

Google has open sourced only as much as they had too for using Webkit's GPL codebase and have been notorious in close-sourcing bits when they are able (like the DevTools WebAssembly debugging tools and a ton of other stuff).

So the fact Chromium is (mostly) open source (Chrome is most certainly not) is certainly not charity or the goodness of their hearts. It is the work of idealistic individuals like Lars Knoll who gave us this among other things like Qt.

This is also true for a lot of other Google projects like Android.
