Could not disagree more. If you are a startup that is struggling to survive, it is an absolute waste of resources to overengineer your app for potential scale. It's the VC way to burn all of the money hiring talented infra engineers to manage this, but it is not pragmatic at all. The exception is if your startup is literally a high volume data processing platform or something similar.

That simple PHP/MySQL or rails monolith will scale much further than you think by throwing more servers at it without having to hire an army of devops engineers. Solving problems you don't currently have when your company is not profitable is a waste of money.
> How can you shame Cloudflare in this case? This is a very niche issue that non-technical people won't even care about

shame doesn't have to be seen by everyone to work – just by those they rely on. In this case, technical people who are responsible for choosing to adopt cloudflare in companies come to regard it badly, and discourage its use in the future or switch to competitors. Cloudflare is now motivated to change.
Is there an example of such a program? I don't see anything like that in the github repo.
The iPad mini costs more than an iPhone SE. it’s not that small either so if it isn’t going to be in your pocket, an iPad is over $100 cheaper.

I think the iPad Mini makes sense as a product line in general. Which is being a smaller screen (and thus cheaper) iPad Air. It does work as an option, but so do iPads.
This is a pretty strange week to say that: The president nominates supreme court judges, and the rulings of those judges can make a big difference in your life: For instance, whether there's a right to abortion in the US or not.

Whether you are in favor or against, it's easy to argue that a whole lot of people care about that issue, and not only in purely theoretical grounds.

And that's just the topic of the week: A justice is, on average, going to be making rulings for about 30 years, and is probably going to be able to retire strategically, to be replaced by a like-minded judge. So even if it's just due to the power of electing supreme court justices, presidents matter.

So I don't think it's hard to argue that, because of Trump's presidency, we'll have a very conservative supreme court for, very likely, our entire lifetimes, while if Clinton had won, we'd instead have a liberal majority in the court for at least another 20 years.

Even without the abortion decision, the court will make a big practical difference to a lot of people. I think it's fair to expect wide sweeping decisions that would never have happened without Trump being able to build a 6-3 court.
Lol you are right. Didn't know. I'll stick to my solution though now that I got so used to. I also have a few other nice shortcuts like:

option+< and option+> to resize window to left and right, and option+p to maximize. And also control+j and control+k to switch tabs in browsers and terminals.

Probably there are also native shortcuts for that, but I like how I can make mines consistent across all apps.
NRA yes. However, it’s about time. In it’s place are a much more modern groups of smaller, more motivated, more focused, and entirely grassroots.

SAF and GOA have done more than NRA in the past 10 years anyhow. The only people sad about NRA dissolving are the people internally doing it.
Heck yeah.
Yes, I have. I'd ask some clarification and respond to what I think your point is, but I see you're too clever to get to the point, so I'll move on.
Yes, the consumption of El Salvador. Those shitcoins are using what Spain uses.
> There is still coupling in microservices, it has just shifted to messaging, networking, and queuing.

Sure, in the sense that your service is "coupled" to a queue and if you don't abstract that away it's hard to change that queue implementation. But in the sense of two services you wrote being coupled, they aren't, in terms of shared state. That gets pulled out. There is no way for one service to mutate the memory of another - it has to send a message to it.

That can be TCP or it can be over some queue or stream or whatever.

> If you get any of those parts wrong, you have a worse mess to untangle with less mature debugging/logging tooling than a monolith enjoys

This is the case with any concurrent system. The fact that so many languages lack concurrency primitives is probably why people don't run into this more often. If you use concurrency primitives in your language, you already have this.

> all the while likely dealing with eventual consistency (depending on the design)

There's nothing eventually consistent about this system. It fundamentally has causal consistency (since messages from a service must come after messages to that service that triggered them), and it's perfectly capable of leveraging transactions.

> I'm not saying don't start with a microservice, but it likely wouldn't be the very first tool I would reach for when starting out if a monolith would do the job effectively.

To each their own. I much prefer it. It's far simpler to maintain "good" design since the network boundary creates a hard line in the sand that you physically can not violate.
Ironically, this is why a lot of people argue everyone shouldn't vote. Basically, if you add some minor barriers to voting you'll get only those who know and care about what's going on to vote.

Otherwise, you'll have lemmings. Where people with a bit of propaganda will drive everyone else off the cliff.

Amid global chaos, the tech industry takes a rare tumble
It's moreso the NFTs, which a ton of celebrities promoted as a get-rich-quick scheme.

>It's why we need to expand colonies off world.

If the technology in question that's gone awry due to a single rogue individual is AGI, it'd easily kick our ass across the cosmos if malevolent. There's very likely no running from it.

The point at which it becomes possible for a single person to create something like that, is the point where we'd such need a system of control lest we face extinction as a species.

Fortunately, said system of control would likely have to be implemented with AI anyways, and stands a good chance of being done correctly such that it doesn't infringe on individual freedom or human rights whatsoever.

One of my favorite things to ponder is the notion of a superintelligence created to protect us that renders itself invisible. A diety of our own creation as intangible and mythological as those found in historical scriptures.

No they are not. Airliners fly in the lower stratosphere, the troposphere is what is primarily warming. The effects on ozone are another story.

[edit] for anyone downvoting, I'm referencing this paper[1] in the Encyclopedia of Global Environmental Change from 2002, which says:

> Increases of the concentration of
small particles emitted from aircraft with similar residence
times have also been measured near dense flight routes. CO2
on the other hand, has a lifetime of the order of 100 years
and gets distributed essentially over the whole atmosphere.
Therefore, the effects of CO2 emissions from aircraft are
indistinguishable from the same quantity of CO2 emitted at
the same time by any other source.

It's consistent with older research as well, and I can't find anything newer that refutes the claim.

I don't think that's entirely fair. Yes, they seem very conservative and often taking a punitive approach, but: https://www.greencarcongress.com/2021/07/20210728-g100ul.htm... "FAA approves first high-octane unleaded avgas", for medical certification there's now BasicMed, the new light airplane certification standards mentioned in the article are a lot less prescriptive than the old ones, and they're now working on the MOSAIC changes to make special-airworthiness certificate rules more flexible.
Using thin-backend has been one of the most delightful experiences I've had making an SPA with a simple backend. The developer experience with the generated TypeScript types is particularly great, the DB migrations remind me of Prisma, and knowing I have a standard Postgres db under the hood is comforting. It isn't a large or complex app, but Marc has been super responsive to bugs and feature suggestions so it has been fun to iterate on. You can find the code at https://github.com/ianobermiller/colorcal.
nice, wondering how that conditional logic works. I've played with getImageUri() methods for some time. Maybe they actually setImageUri() within the transfer() method and it checks the owner address for certain ABI characteristic of a smart contract versus an EOA (individual's address). or actually never needing to setImageUri() and just have that last check in getImageUri to serve different metadata based on the type of owner address.

thats hilarious.
Not cassettes but a dedicated CD player is what I use for this stuff.

I have certain custom mixtape style mood music CDs depending on how the scene in my novel is supposed to feel tonally, for example.

Yes I could make those into YouTube playlists, but the ritual of putting in the right CD has something to say for it, and also my CDs never have advertisements that manage to sneak past all of my layers of adblock, nor do they suddenly decide to be unavailable on one particular day or another.
I'm extremely aware of Alan Kay's statement, as well as the foundations of the actor model. The reality is that today that is not what OOP has become, and Alan Kay would agree.

> that suggests we got OOP wrong, very wrong.

Alan Kay very clearly states that people "got it wrong" and that OOP was supposed to be about messaging. ie: He intended for it to be one thing, but it isn't that thing.

> I'm sorry that I long ago coined the term "objects" for this topic because it gets many people to focus on the lesser idea.
The big idea is "messaging"

Multiple model kits of the F-19 were released in the 80s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-19#Notable_appearances_in_me...) - they have a vague resemblance to the F-117, but I don't know of any releases of F-117 models before it was officially revealed.
IIRC there are all sorts of issues around monkey-patching prototypes, shared objects between modules, etc. which would readily allow escaping any sort of module / dependency level permissions system. You'd probably be better off pitching a typescript subset language with its own compiler / interpreter rather than trying to shoehorn it into V8.
The a-bombing on Japan was a much impactful/influential event, and more importantly, for whatever reason, it was heavily associated with B-29 (probably THE reason why B-29 was famous in average people to begin with).

This is what makes the bombing event essential for B-29's article.

The Amiriyah bombing doesn't really have such connotation with the plane.
Are you trying to say the law should prohibit helping people who handcuffed themselves and then lost the key?

Calling foetus a “child” suggests it’s a person, while in reality it almost never is, because it lacks the property defining a person: brain activity. It’s just a fundamentalist newspeak, invented to distort reality; kind of like “unborn child” or “civilization of life”. Why would anyone use terminology introduced by worlds leading child rapist association is beyond me.

The very idea of bodily freedom implies the right to abortion.

When everyone in your life is telling you to take out loans and go to the best school, I think it's understandable to not question it. There are plenty of things we take for granted and don't question, this is one of those for some people.

From some googling, they lack catalytic converters, so the emissions they do put out are more harmful to the environment per-pound-produced than what comes out of a car's tailpipe.
While Fox does have large market share it was the only major media company that was constantly critical of Obama. When it comes to Trump NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and whoever else were all critical of Trump. It felt far more widespread when it came to Trump.
> Well no the difference here is that my example has nothing copied either. Your example has something copied. They are not analogous as they lack that similarity.

Okay, then just tweak my analogy slightly and sell a piece of paper printed with the URL to a photograph of the Mona Lisa, or to an image of a piece of digital artwork, or to a digital audio file, etc.

> The person selling this NFT that contains no copy does not have to misrepresent anything. Hence no fraud. The contract address is obviously different.

If you're defining it as not fraudulent and not copying anything, then what's absurd about the situation at all? It might be amusing that someone might buy something that you personally don't value at all, but that's hardly unique to NFTs.
I just realized the iPad mini I still use doesn’t have Touch ID. I have an iPad mini 3. It’s slow on the last OS it can be on, iOS 12. I use it because a jailbreak tweak that can last.fm scrobble (tracks listening/viewing history) works on older devices like that one.
Your attitude is completely wrong in the same way the ACLU has gone wrong. Defending speech _as a right_ means defending it for everyone in all cases, most especially when it is unpopular. Otherwise you're not acting as a defense of free speech, but as an amplifier of speech you agree with. You become the Committee In Favor Of Speech We Like, which is pretty worthless.
Well it is either regulation or ban. The author (and many other skeptics) want a total ban on the whole thing, and the crypto maximalists do not want regulations or bans either.

I'm very sorry to report that these regulations are going to come and wipe the meme coins but leaving the compliant cryptocurrencies and web3 projects to survive.

So, when I see articles like this calling for it all to be totally destroyed even since it 13 years of its existence, I can only say that the author, crypto-skeptics and the crypto maximalists are going to be disappointed for the next 13 years.
They are not disputing that - they actually acknowledged it. Instead they are disputing that omitting -e will lead to a crash.
I started using this to provide customization rather than being Windows-like.

It's pretty customizable, so everyone's experience and preferences will be different but here are some of mine.

1. Command + Tab > Cycle all windows, within all spaces, on active screen (rather than all screens).

2. Command + ` > Same as above, but only for the focused/active application.

3. Customized size of thumbnail, font, items per row, and overall screen real estate.

4. Mouse location = active screen

5. Hidden windows show at the end of the cycle
I use this in combination with my rcmd app (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) and I can finally say I’ve reached the perfect app/window switching setup on macOS.

Instant app switching with rcmd + visual window switching for multi-window apps like Xcode, Sublime Text etc.

It’s similar to what I had on Windows with WinKey+number and their integrated AltTab thumbnails but better since I don’t have to count the apps in the taskbar to know which number to press, and I can AltTab only through the current app windows if I want.
However, Command-` does not work across desktops, while this app does. That’s my main reason for using it.
Better than which human, is the real question. Because there's many humans that don't deserve to keep their license. Also, take that car it trained in LA and drop it in Nairobi and see what happens. Is it still better that human?

Live music provided a sense of belonging.

Maybe I should get out more.
Again: the winners have to pay for the losers. The unusually large successes are what makes the model work. I'm sure they're pushed past the point where they need to go to be economically viable, but by the time you've reached that scale, you're already out of the "mid-market" bracket.
> Network boundaries cause far more problems than they solve,

They cause exactly 0 extra problems. A call from function A to function B can fail due to B having a bug. A call from service A to service B can fail due to B having a bug or a network failure. Either way, failure is possible and has to be handled - the network only makes that more obvious.

Further, a call between functions can cause mutated shared state - not the case across a boundary, they physically do not share mutable state.

> and you've just shifted the complexity to now securing the network

Not really. Fundamentally you have split your service capabilites up - now you can apply least privilege as you desire.
I think the term « device » is a bit misleading. I should have used client side instead. It doesn’t need to scan your messages between keyboard and encryption, the application handles your messages in plaintext and it can scan them without needing any decryption. The encryption is done just before sending the messages.
There's also Anchor, which is the third piece of this Ponzi. Anchor promises 20% yield on UST, and this is what generates demand for UST. However, the yield contains risk which is hidden on purpose or not generally understood. Ponzi schemers profit from this information asymmetry, and work to maintain it.

Most of the yield in crypto is generated from dilution, and therefore the real return can be positive as long as there are new investors, which offset the effect of dilution. Now, classifying them as Ponzi schemes depends on how these assets are marketed and sold. Expected return of these kind of schemes is zero, which is how they should be marketed.

The very first sentence of this piece is dishonest: blanketly condemning "all" related tech as environmentally devastating. Later on in the piece it's admitted that innovations like Proof of Stake solve the problem of needless energy consumption.

iPhone SE 2nd generation (from early 2020) will be pretty cheap nowadays with the 3rd gen out. Probably still a bit pricier than an iPod Touch, but Apple went long periods of time without updating the Touch. While not reducing the price.

Though it won’t be possible to get new iPhone SE 2nd gen for long. At that point, a refurbished or used 11 or XR or SE 2nd gen will not be too much. The latter two should be cheaper than a new iPod Touch.
Reverse gate keeping, yeah. You built a fence around your safe zone, and locked yourself in.
The authentication process effectively salts the response with both the web origin and the anti-replay counter. The result is then different for every web origin and so the phishing site would get a different authentication response that is incorrect/useless for the real site.

This protection is only for the classic phishing scenario where the user-agent is showing a different origin that is masquerading as the user's desired site. AFAIK, this won't solve the problem of Trojan apps where the authenticated user-agent itself can be subverted into making inappropriate requests. In such malware scenarios, you could also just hijack the other temporary session cookie/token secrets after the login step.
> Their adherence to higher principles (free speech), when it results in those actions, cannot be tolerated in the modern era.

Why not?

That was the least technical analysis on web3, just a rant.
The guy is like... DAO can only be wrapped in a corporation... Have you heard of Cooperative business structures where each employee have an equal vote and own the business?

Same with Authentication... The idea of web3 is decentralisation... Once the app is operational, there are no more server fees. It's always online - heard of arwave?

Web3 is not crypto man...

Web3 is a design blueprint that is based on decentralised databases, decentralised Auth and decentralised payments and decentralised storage.

It is way harder to implement web3 solutions today than web2. Travel back in 2002 at the early days of web2, and look at how miserable it was to create a webapp.

There are actually no valid point, the guy doesn't even go technical, while talking about a technical subject- and the read is not short.

The concept of web3 is that no more dependencies on AWS, Azure and cloud premises- which are all controlled by govt.

Tor is Free??? What? Please share your server provider... As far as I know, you still have to host your TOR website on a physical server, and pay for it.
