I've been using healthchecks.io for years now. Awesome tool. Small scope, does the things it intends to do really well. Can highly recommend.

I'm surprised that the machines are that large, there must be a bunch of people using the service nowadays :) I remember the setup being even smaller in previous blog posts. But I really like it. Small, easy to reason about. Makes debugging when stuff goes wrong quite easy.

I'm a bit surprised that there's no config management listed though - seems like it really is just Fabric + a bunch of scripts. But hey, if it works, great!

That it’s neither supported by default, nor mentioned in the documentation. Which leads to people misconfiguring their webservers, e.g., https://caddyserver.com./ vs https://httpd.apache.org./
That's your POV, because you identify with one of the parties.

Can you share more details about what the 4 HAProxy servers are doing? I run a SaaS too, but on a single beefy machine handling web and DB stuff. I'm curious what I'm missing out on not using HAProxy in front.
I think it depends on what you want to achieve. If the goal is to quickly create solutions for complex problems, then it helps if the language (as a means to an end) already provides ready-made "features" that you can fall back on. Of course, not everyone will need all of them, but only a subset for his or her domain. I'm thinking of the scientific community, where C++ is very common and almost more like a DSL. Here the finished program is used as a tool for a task, which itself is the final product. So the coding itself is "only" a (sometimes annoying) preliminary stage. You don't want to build important language constructs yourself first from minimalist elementary building blocks.

It may be different for professional programmers, whose programs often have a different purpose, are created by multiple developers, and have much more effort put into reusable, clean code. Here, the code base is more the product than the finished program.

That’s why, as a westerner, I consider the Uyghur issue not to be ‘our’ problem. It’s terrible what’s happening there, but there are more than 2 billion muslims in the world who can do something about it.

Your stance that the most competent people are paid the most is the kind of toxic capitalism that got us into this situation. Nobody is helped by this except the egos of the donators and the pockets of whoever is in charge.

>systemic (EDIT: Systemic, as opposed to a crime committed by a rogue prison guard) torture

A teacher has two fundamental roles: first, to explain the concepts in a way that is accessible to a given person, and second, to check if they actually understood.

As for 1), there are so many resources to choose from and everybody has their favorites. But 2) is crucial, so today I tend to choose resources with exercises AND answers/key/solutions so that I can verify if I understood the material correctly myself.

There are also online books with solutions integrated, such as[0].

There are countries other than just Western countries and China: namely, African countries and SEA countries.
This is the sort of background I asked for. Admittedly I've not followed the topic closely, but this is the first time I hear about this sort of connection with Uyghyr activism.

At least in this case the reporting seems to be based on verified information and journalists working independently of Dr. Zenz.

I very much agree that so-called "toxic positivity" can be a problem, but I found this article greatly lacking in any sort of substance. There are no specific examples of toxic positivity, no explanation as to why its bad other than vacuous general terms repeated ad nauseam (did she mention toxic positivity invalidates lived experiences?), and no in depth explanation as to the alternatives other than what is essentially a dictionary definition of "empathy".

Why not both. Have a 4G tower with a starlink on top. Give internet to a whole rural village. That might not be fast enough for the first world, but in other places that will be a much more viable solution compared to building physical infrastructure on the ground.
Some Chinese can see it. Just like some Westerners see the western one.

I suspect the problem is that Google can't fully crawl stackoverflow/github etc. There are plenty of pages which appear unindexed. I find it a lot when doing a google search for a code snippet and getting no results, only to find that exact piece of code/text is in a public github repo or bugreport.

Then, the clones copy those pages, and do manage to get indexed. Which in turn means that when you search for something, the clone appears to be first.

I think Google just needs to make their indexer 10x more aggressive, especially for big popular sites.

I think that's adequately explained by the fact that, unlike China, Israel is considered an ally in the west. That means we are in some way more responsible for the actions of Israel than the actions of China, as continued support implies agreement with those actions, to some extent.
In many parliamentary republics the parliament accepts and rejects the government as a whole though, there isn't always a specific power to pass a no confidence motion against a specific minister. In practice it still can be done (and it has done by the EU parliament) by threatening to pull confidence on the whole government if a specific member is not removed.

Still I'm wholly in favor of giving more power to the parliament.
Does toxic positivity also count for those who overshare online for internet points?

I think it is brave to share the human side of our lives more often, but I feel like most platforms have people sharing a bit too much from the heart. As if every post has a meaningful insight from a lived experience of the human condition.

Almost to the point where there's a lot of narcissism in self-hatred and the realization of that in a public forum.

I think the future are frameworks that auto-generate large parts of the documentation, possibly with small annotations that can be directly done in the code. You see this with libraries like FastAPI, which uses type annotations to auto-generate a lot of the stuff that was created manually before. I think it's the only way to keep docs in sync without expending a large amount of effort.
I am not sure if they can replace a teacher, but some good mathematics books are "Euclid's Elements", "Introduction to Algebra" by Richard Rusczyk, and "Calculus" by Michael Spivak.
This issue I see with your take is the identity of the bully - soft power versus hard power. The United States empire machine has long been deeply involved in the affairs of countries that could literally not be further away from the homeland. Russia or China behaving similarly in the affairs of Mexico or Canada would be treated as an act of war by the Americans
Not saying everything's false btw.

My guess is China/CCP doesn't have much trust in western news outlets, hence no freedom of press.

Also, you're making a lot of claims on the second guy too.

> There's no need to come here and see anything cos he's lying

China did invite muslim countries and some other western ones to xinjiang. Some western countries declined to go claiming taint.

If you expand the horizon beyond just a matter of hiding information = guilt, you'll see the US has just as much motivation and track record to blow this issue out of proportion on false grounds too, and the power to get away with it (eg. iraq). Based on that they would/should garner far less trust.

> They can't tell the difference between a great film and a terrible film - they walk away thinking "I enjoyed that".

If I walk away and think "I enjoyed that" then by all measures that was a great film. A great film will please most of not all of its target audience. When a film is shown in Cannes the target audience is cinema enthusiasts who seek deeper meaning and interesting new ways to use the medium. When a new James Bond is shown, the target audience is anyone who enjoyed the trailer or the spy film genre enough to decide they want to see the movie.

Film critics like to be snobs about what is and isn't "real cinema", but that's not about superior taste. They may have a different taste, but that taste is no better or worse than anyone else's.

If 99% of people don't like what you like and therefore have horrible taste, maybe the problem isn't everyone else.

Soil compaction can happen for many reasons. The first step is to know your soil, and not jump right into solutions for a problem we don't fully understand.

As a farmer, my advice would be:

#1 Analyze you soil for profile, pH, organic matter and macronutrients. Show the results to a professional and ask for advice. Most lab analyses parameters will stand for a couple of years, so it pays off. Besides, doing the wrong thing once can ruin you soil for decades.

#2 Look around. Is the problem uniform for a wide area or is it just you? Are there any water sources or creeks nearby? Cattle grazing? Is there a history you can check?

#3 Choose your crops having in mind the resources you have. Maybe you soil is terrible for a given crop and quite good for another. Maybe you should just let it be, or maybe not.

#4 Don't go online before speaking to a professional. Avoid guru-based farming/gardening, and be skeptical as a rule of thumb. This applies to my own advice as well.

I know a garden isn't a farm. But still, it's about doing things right and achieving results rationally, isn't it?

Their license only allows it to be used in fixed installations.

I suspect that the "while stationary" text is just lawyerspeak so they don't get accused of violating the license. If too many people post videos of using it while driving down the highway, they might have to add technical restrictions so they don't get fined for violating the license.
A recent observation about the advantage of syntactic minimalism:

As a newcomer to Rust, a thing I noticed is the syntactic explicitness around generics: In particular, I had to learn to write Foo::<T>::bar(), i.e. the double `::` seems verbose. But it is also unambiguous that the `<` is not a less-than, because it comes to the right of a `::`. There are other `<T>`s that don't need `::` because they're already somewhere that could only be a type. A human probably wouldn't mistake those. So you might have syntactic complexity in a syntax that is easy for a human to wrap their minds around, and perhaps even makes expressing yourself easier.

It wasn't until recently that someone on ##rust pointed out that with unambiguous syntax, you can more easily transform old code, too. So in some future where a piece of syntax changes, you can more easily write a tool that transforms old code into new code.

What a great setup. I really love the premise, but I feel that it needs slightly more instructions. As I'm struggling in finding out what exactly to do.

For example:

- It was a not so obvious to find out I had to click on the green flashing text.

- "Find the git pull command", I keep typing "git pull" but there is no help whatsoever (apart from the beep). Does "Find" mean that I need to find it in the documentation? Do I need to type it? Nothing is added to the commands list on the bottom left.

Superbus started with my own need for a service bus explorer when I switched from Windows to macOS 2 years ago.

Predator' Spyware Let Government Hackers Break into Chrome and Android
There is some middle ground here, it doesn't have to be some unrealistic all-or-nothing scenario. Fingerprinting is not solvable in the general case, but I argue there is still value in restricting the kinds of information any random ad vendor can extract from your browser. Speaking with the users' interests in mind, the browser could be made almost as secure as an app ecosystem without sacrificing developer freedoms.

For example, if we had a 3-tiered model, "basic", "web app", and "custom" that would solve most of the problems. For "basic", the browser acts like a featureless monolithic platform: no UserAgent header, no (3rd party) cookies, no localStorage, no advanced JS API, maybe even limited DOM access. Anything that needs access beyond "basic" would trigger a permissions dialog. "web app" would be full JavaScript, but no WebGL and only limited media support. And "custom" could be anything the website asks for, preferably in a manuscript file.

This would solve a whole host of issues, including security, for the most common cases. The number of websites that need to ask for more than "basic" is limited, at least as far as the typical user is concerned. Over the lifetime of a browser's settings profile that would probably be about 10 sites that need "web app" access.
A relevant quote from the source that the Protocol article is written from:

"Uranium for nuclear fuel is another element of concern. While Russia represents 6% of global production for mined uranium, the country has around 40% of global enrichment capacity. Uranium prices, already high at the end of 2021 due to tightening supplies, climbed by about one-third in March 2022 to the highest level since the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011 in Japan. While uranium conversion and enrichment plants exist in Canada, China, France, the United States and elsewhere, many of them have been operating at low utilisation rates or are idled due to weak profitability."

It doesn't. Developed countries had more periods of 9% inflation in metallic standard eras and the middle classes have long avoided holding the majority of their wealth as cash.
But of course there is a reason. A government-funded institution has no one with a stake in its long-term success. Its only goal is preserving itself and capturing more resources from the government. Small-scale philanthropy thus has a key role to play here.

Funding for basic educational standards and a minimal social safety net is already a huge spending commitment for even the most successful governments, and it's not clear if "welfare" can expand beyond that.
