What is the common spec for Knative? It seems like one runs an app as normal in a container and then the special scaling sauce is handled by Knative.

When I think of a portable spec for serverless, I think of something more like a Trait of an Interface that needs to be implemented, less a app hosting model. If you think about it like that, then Web Assembly component model [1] would be a great fit for defining an interface that could be implemented in a variety of languages.

> Other than an ideological argument of preferring taxes over outright bans, I feel like the effect is the same.

Taxes also provide revenue.

And they allow people to make their own choices.

If you think that having a foreign investor own a house causes Canadians to feel a collective 1 million CAD of pain per year, then it's only fair to give the foreign investor the chance to pay off the Canadian pain.

(Also gray areas around bans are annoying: you have to draw the line of eg who qualifies as a foreigner and what qualifies as owning somewhere. And there's bound to be some weird corner cases and loopholes that people with expensive lawyers can work around.

The reward for finding the loopholes is immense, because there's a discontinuity in the law.

If you have a tax, you have a finer grained instrument. So you can eg charge people in proportion to how much time they spent out of Canada. Instead of going 51% out: you are banned to 49%: everything is fine, the tax can vary gradually.)
Nope I don’t agree. Cities have morphed into Subarus in the 1950s and since then they have been the source of more influence and revenue generation at least in NA.
While this is often a thing - it’s definitely one of the most directly leech-like things you could do. It’s quintessential capitalism at its finest (worst). Say what you want about FAANG eng - they’re often doing something.
So I've heard this argument for years, and although it sounds quite reasonable to me, does it hold up in court I wonder?

I think the previous generations of leftists achieved their goals of inclusivity but now that we have it, it turns out it didn't eliminate wage gaps and all that so new leftists have decided we need to turn it up to 11 instead of stepping back to figure out what's actually causing those differences between groups. They can't allow themselves to consider that it might be something other than sexism/racism because that's an existential threat to their ideology. So the only way forward is ever more aggressive "inclusiveness".

> Williams and O’Reilly (1996) review dozens of studies showing that ethnic diversity has a negative impact on group performance. In the two decades since, more research has reinforced that result. Alesina and La Ferrara (2005) find that increasing ethnic diversity from 0 (only one ethnic group) to 1 (each individual is a different ethnicity) would reduce a country’s annual growth by 2 percent. Multiple studies (La Porta et al., 1999; Alesina et al., 2003; Habyarimana et al., 2007) have shown that ethnic diversity negatively affects public good provision. Stazyk et al. (2012) find that ethnic diversity reduces job satisfaction among government workers. Parrotta et al. (2014a) find that ethnic diversity is significantly and negatively correlated with firm productivity.

Clearly “upsetting people” is not the metric.

It’s only considered a problem if you upset the people privileged under your particular ideology.
That's why I am suggesting not singling out foreigners in the first place.

Use the tax you collect to finance local goods and services (and to reduce other local taxes).

So local pay the tax and get something in return. Non-residents pay the same tax, but don't get the local goods and services; just because they aren't there. And all without any complicated rules.

Very impressive app. Two minor notes:

1) The heading text at the top on the landing page behaves strangely when starting to scroll on an iPhone 11 (I suspect something is reacting to the height changes as the url entry field appears and disappears - this is in firefox on iOS, but obviously that's the same engine as the Safari browser under the hood).

2) If you have a few dollars you can spend I would recommend getting a professional voice actor to record the script for your tutorial. You've built some amazing stuff here so don't be bummed you're not also a professional-level voice talent as well.

In 2020 we designed a website made of photocopied book pages. It was a poetic project from a teacher to his students: a selection of texts he found worthy to share during the first lockdown.

When he approached us with the content assembled from photocopies we thought that it’d be the right solution to keep the richness and somehow the warmth of the pages (there are also the pencil-made marks).

We had to re-scan all the photocopies…

There's good developers living in regions where 50k is a really excellent salary. Even 100k. I agree with the parent poster that SF salaries are crazy for a product like this.
whats the reason behind all this endless JS race that s been going on for years. I only had to use it once and it felt like everything was prematurely overabstracted ending in more code doing less. It made me run back to php+jquery, which is more like a car engine rather than an modern abstract art statue.

is it the overabundance of programmers? the fact that it makes them look busy? people liking wasting time recompiling most of the day? overengineering making people feel superior? it certainly doesnt feel healthy and makes one question whether the whole SV startup ecosystem is a cargo cult built on shaky grounds by people who are just apeing each other on everything, from design to backend.

Yes. Look at land value taxes.

Btw, I would _not_ charge a transaction tax. Charge them every year for holding the property. (Eg charge whoever holds the property on New Year, the market will do the rest.)

That way you don't impede transactions.
I recommend you try Federated Wiki [0]. To test out its editing process:

1. Go to:
http://fed.wiki.org/view/how-to-wiki

2. Once you're there, click the "wiki" word down in the grey footer. A checkmark will appear next to the word "wiki."

3. Double-click a paragraph and edit. Ctrl-s saves. The page you edited will gain a yellow halo. The yellow indicates that your changes are only being saved in your browser's local storage for now. (If you have your own site and are logged in, changes will be saved on the server.)

I run my own Federated Wiki (fedwiki) server. You can also just run it locally (which I do sometimes). It requires nodejs. I was a bit fussy with my server setup and have lighttpd as reverse proxy (I think that's the correct terminology) and 'supervisor' as nodejs babysitter, but most (all?) of that is not strictly necessary; fedwiki can just run on its own.

Apparently, the truth is often embarassing for some.
Yep. But it does a pretty good job of communicating where the boundaries are and telling you when you've crossed them. It's not even close to a deal breaker.
Immigration laws aren't very good in almost all countries. Governments do want to plan better and have good-sense policies that let in people who can integrate and contribute. But they are held back by a basic human instinct: xenophobia. The average person is OK with seeing one stranger in town, but start feeling creeped out when they see handfuls, and get downright paranoid when exposed to large numbers of foreigners. Inevitably, this instinct becomes a tool for a subset of politicians, who then play power games with immigration policies.

I'm not sure exactly why, but there are also some systemic habits that make immigration much worse than it should be. For example, it's nearly universal that countries will put tight global restrictions in place because they want to reduce immigrants from a single place. E.g. looking at Central / South America right now, a lot are tightening up policies against all nationalities because they don't want immigrants from Venezuela. This is really baked in -- look at how intense the outcry was when the Trump administration put restrictions on specific, named countries at the beginning of the pandemic. That's generally just not done.

So in short, you may be correct that there's a theoretical human right, but the world just isn't going to realign in that direction anytime soon. In the same way that it's sort of a human right to have pleasant, non-hostile interactions with other people, but that would also be impossible to effect; there are simply too many assholes in the mix.

One thing I've often pondered is that there should be some sort of non-governmental group that you can join or qualify for, which evaluates and vouches for its members and guarantees their good conduct in any country they visit. Basically, the same thing a passport does. But it's a pipe dream in a world where almost everything is based on accidents of geography.

As a side note, there is a new sort of route to immigrating for people in your situation, these days: instead of going to another country first, instead work remotely, build up cash, and use that to immigrate. (Because, as others have pointed out, money is one pathway to immigration.)

I don't feel the need to, umm, defend what some implementation with CHAR_BIT of 16 or 32 actually does, but I do notice that if sizeof(int) == 1, then I think that (unsigned char)EOF == UCHAR_MAX. I think that unless sizeof(int) > 1, there is an unavoidable problem distinguishing between EOF and some valid character as written by fputc. Just changing the example to try to write (UCHAR_MAX - 1) at least avoids this possible 'excuse' for the behavior. good luck with the standards committee.
Hitting the local population with this particular tax is fine from an economic point of view.

Just use the tax take to finance local goods and service and to lower other local taxes.
This is my drive.

I worked for over 35 years, to have enough money to be able to work on stuff I love to do.

I'm not rich; and never will be, but I have enough, not to be worrying about starving. That's a rare luxury.

And I work on the kinds of things that I want to work on; not that someone else wants me to do for them, so they can make a bunch of money. Most of my work is given to people and organizations that can't afford talent like mine.
There’s a movie with Natalie Portman where she’s offended by a boy calling her a lady. She thinks she’s being called old.

There’s also what I’ll call the Jeremy Clarkson ooo hello ladies, reserved for fancy done up groups of ladies in nice dresses and hats for example from the country woman’s association.

Distinct from the oooo hello ladies of a group of prostitutes making their grand entrance from the back of a hummer I recently saw in the breaking bad movie.

Boys I’ve seen used a lot referring to groups of men in the examples of dogging the boys at a construction yard, pulled the boys for an scv rush in sc2, hello boyyys for Roy and HG implying something rude.

Response: "You're a conservative!"

Me: "I am not a conservative. This is about divide and conquer. It is easier to take on multiple smaller adversaries that are preoccupied with in-fighting.

For example, I am neither pro nor against Scottish independence, but as part of that process the main political party involved has stated it will attempt to remove nuclear subs from its newly controlled territory - which will harm the British defence posture - for populist reasons and to the sole long term benefit of their adversaries"

Response: "This is disingenuous! It isn't about forcing the English to disarm, just to move!"

I agree with you 100%. My family is actively religious, if not publicly pious enough for some.

To me, a secular festival and significant religious event together are fabulous and enhance each other. I grew up in NYC and used to do the whole “Christmas in New York” thing. The overall atmosphere of celebration is a great way to close the year!

I didn't exactly choose my country or citizenship. These rights and responsibilities are just something I was just born in to and didn't choose. Somehow I need to be "loyal" to a place and countrymen I have no love for? I never declared my loyalty or allegiance to the country I was born in, but I'm kind of stuck with it. I'd rather choose a different place that would fit me better.
Ok, I guess you’re thinking of your shell where you can “add a command” by dropping a shell script anywhere on the disk? Or your text editor, where you can add commands by editing some config file? I guess that’s fair. Note however that each of these programs has bent over backwards to enable easy extensibility. The average program does not. This is more like adding a command to sed or grep, which have no extensibility (aside from editing their source code).
This is a form of reductio ad absurdum.

Ideally someone would value your creativity or recognize the value in paying you enough to do a task that has value to them while also giving you time and space to work on the things which are valuable to you.

We can all be paid more and work less and things will get better. Now, making people actually understand that is an entirely different beast.

> I see -- we are using different definitions. Let me provide mine...

You misunderstood that whole section, so I'll try again. Those words are just labels, it doesn't matter what they are but it very much matters that they be used consistently. You said, in essence, that magic tricks are always done by using X, never Y - that whole section was me trying to define what X and Y are. I used "trickery" to mean X because that's how you used it, in your first comment:

> "But there's no way to reliably cold read a name, so it has to be done via trickery..."

Remember? You started by drawing a distinction between cold reading and trickery, and now you're saying that cold reading is trickery. Either definition is fine, but you gotta pick one, as I'm less sure than ever of what the X means. This doesn't help:

> What I am arguing AGAINST: that mentalism requires some sort of extraordinary power of observation, picking up subtle signals, hypnosis, extreme mental powers of deduction, etc.

...because of all the subjective qualifiers. How am I to know what you consider extraordinary? Take the Stephen Merchant clip, in which Derren Brown appears to dupe a guy into guessing wrong. If I claim that it was done purely with with psychology, I have no idea if you'd disagree ("No way, that would require extraordinary mental powers so there must be some gimmick!") or agree with me ("That only requires pretty good mental powers, so no gimmick required").

It seems like you're just redefining X to include anything that can actually be done by a human, and to exclude only supernatural abilities. This is illustrative:

> I don't have to know how a particular mentalism trick is done to know it's a trick.

If you don't need to look at a trick to know it's X, that would suggest that your position is tautological: "All magic tricks are X, because I've defined X that way." Well, fair enough; we certainly agree that magic tricks are indeed magic tricks, as opposed to psychic powers or space aliens or whatever.

But I don't think your position started out tautological. I'm pretty sure you began this discussion because there are real mentalists doing real tricks that you think must've been done with a gimmick and I think could've been done with skill and practice. That's why I thought it would be helpful to cite examples! But I agree that if your position is tautological, there is no point in looking at them (other than perhaps the natural curiosity about mentalism that I imagined you might have, based on how long we've been discussing it).

I believe you. The struggle is, when a candidate is failing a job interview, how can you tell the difference between someone who's good but stressed vs someone who's just not very good?

Because weak candidates need to submit a lot of applications to get a job, most job applications are from weak candidates. Its easy to feel compassion for people who have panic attacks. Its much harder to make a filter for weak candidates which doesn't also filter out people with performance anxiety.

Seems like we don't even know how big a this problem is. Is it 1% of the candidates? 10%? 50%? I have no idea. And it sounds like nobody here has any real idea either.
