What's the simplest way to personally archive web documents?
I'm a bit of pack rat for web documents, because I can't stop to read everything I want to. I'd prefer to keep a copy for myself in the event the source material disappears. It's not uncommon for me to browse my collection and read something from 6-12 months ago.

I don't usually like bookmarking services because my current collection of archived documents spans a longer period of time than they've usually been in business.

An ideal solution to me would be a PDF or compact reader-mode style document saved locally, or emailed to me. I've hacked together various solutions to this, but I've never quite been satisfied.
I mean, you don't seem to suggest the cultural revolution wasn't real, or the persecution of Uighers today isn't very real and both of those movements were/are very focused on careful control of speech, which was also true under the USSR and even Russia today (despite significant differences in party line and government).

The line between speech control and authoritarian rule is not very large. Hungary which is currently diaplaying some authoritarian streaks is also engaging in speech and press control.

It sounds like you are confusing authoritarian with a partisan concept. Both leftists and rightists can engage in authoritarianism and often go through speech control on the way there.
Medjedovic stood to lose all of the ETH he was paying in transaction fees (which could have easily been 3 ETH) if someone decided to frontrun his transaction. If that was most of his ETH, that does sound "significant" to me.
> one could be visibly pregnant and then get an abortion.

People don't talk about it a lot, but the miscarraige rate is something like 10-20%. You probably know at least a handful of women who've experienced one. It's fallacious to conclude somebody had an abortion because they're no longer pregnant but don't have a baby.
The people who know most about nukes do not endorse building more.
Why does no one listen to the person who rejects the false/artificial dichotomy?
I feel this, but you know in a case like that, Elon and Bitcoin don't actually matter.

If it weren't those, it would be whatever else existed to fixate on.

I have a friend or two like that and I know that if I could fix Bitcoin it would not clear up their life or make them safe.
The answer to the question in the title is contained in the title.

For a number of reasons, we seem to have reached the point where hyperbolic, emotional statements get attention and calm, rational discussion is ignored.

A world where everyone is trying to position themselves as the persecuted, besieged voice of reason defending simple truth against irrational attractors, does not leave much room for common ground.

It's interesting to note that the author does seem to have had anyone accuse him of being "traitorous" for trying to understand. He just asserts this strawman to paint those who might disagree as unreasonable and then bemoans his asserted lack of common ground.

I wish I could say this is an online phenomenon, and it's obviously much worse online, but it clearly has leaked into the offline world.
> they announced that they changed a lot in their relevance calculations (did they call it “project Panda”? For some reason I remembered it being called that) and it really helped, and in 2013-2015 it was a golden age of search results

There was a lot of blowback from those changes too, though, and even on HN there were people complaining about it and Google's unilateral power at the time (I assume they were usually SEO grifters but likely some relatively innocent sites caught up in the dragnet as well).

I wonder how much antitrust pressure (and, maybe secondarily, the high likelihood that there will be false positives in any crackdown) is preventing another project panda. Bottom feeding deranked sites would be extremely happy to testify in support of any case against google, I'm sure.

Or maybe do it incrementally and never give it a project name?Hard to see any evidence of that, though.
By that token, wouldn't rugpulls be legal too?

I think the challenge for me is that people equate “activists” to “marxists” to everything that Stalin ever did. Everything boils down to a simple model and if you don’t think people who call for censorship on Twitter are all that big of a deal, you are somehow naive to the coming communist threat.

The October and cultural revolutions weren’t even that similar to each other. One was a power grab by one “activist” revolutionary group away from another, during a period where the state had collapsed and there was a general power vacuum. The other occurred well after the “activists” had taken power and represented a general ideological move by a dictatorial regime.
A smart contract deployed on a public permissionless blockchain is not owned by anyone. Only the contract's logic determines how one can interact with it. This is a fact.

It doesn't matter who can make the best argument in court. A good enough lawyer can convince a stupid enough jury of pretty much anything.
The dot com crash was not associated with a particularly noticeable "underwater" period for real estate, so if you bought a house during that time, you're not likely to "still be underwater", which was the GP's claim.
It's easy to rationalize bad things if you spend too much effort trying to understand them. After all, even Hitler thought he was doing good for the world. Yes we all need to understand each other, to a point. Beyond that point, you need to fight for what's right.

>Tag push permissions

Agreed entirely on restricting tags (they tend to have meaning and expected semantics outside the repo, which makes them risky), but also! Teach people more about git, or unix CLI patterns in general. `git log test` is ambiguous about it being a tag (or branch) or file/folder, but `git log -- test` is not. `--` as an ambiguity-preventer is a very common pattern, it works in many, many CLI tools.

---

One that hasn't been included here: don't rely on tags for any kind of business logic, if you have literally any way to avoid it.

Tags are mutable, and do not have a history of when you changed them. They're plenty handy for "human, enter a thing to use" purposes, but you should immediately turn that into a commit sha and then only use that commit sha.
We've also been running airflow for the past 2-3 years at a similar scale (~5000 dags, 100k+ task executions daily) for our data platform. We weren't aware of a great alternative when we started. Our DAGs are all config-driven which populate a few different templates (e.g. ingestion = ingest > validate > publish > scrub PII > publish) so we really don't need all the flexibility that airflow provides. We have had SO many headaches operating airflow over the years, and each time we invest in fixing the issue I feel more and more entrenched. We've hit scaling issues at the k8s level, scheduling overhead in airflow, random race conditions deep in the airflow code, etc. Considering we have a pretty simplified DAG structure, I wish we had gone with a simpler, more robust/scalable solution (even if just rolling our own scheduler) for our specific needs.

Upgrades have been an absolute nightmare and so disruptive. The scalability improvements in airflow 2 were a boon for our runtimes since before we would often have 5-15 minutes of overhead between task scheduling, but man it was a bear of an upgrade. We've since tried multiple times to upgrade past the 2.0 release and hit issues every time, so we are just done with it. We'll stay at 2.0 until we eventually move off airflow altogether.

I stood up a prefect deployment for a hackathon and I found that it solved a ton of the issues with airflow (sane deployment options, not the insane file-based polling that airflow does). We looked into it ~1 year ago or so, I haven't heard a lot about it lately, I wonder if anyone has had success with it at scale.

Instead of changing window size, a browser could display site with a fixed with (e.g. 1280 pixels) centered inside a window. This way you can have your window fullscreen or any reasonable size but the site will "see" standard 1280 pixel wide screen.

Of course, 1280 pixels should not be hardcoded, there could be a choice between several popular sizes.

No, we as a society have deemed it irresponsible to leave it completely up to people who have never properly learned how to succeed in society what they want to do and instead set up programs to make it easier for them to get on the path to success.

There still remains a vocal part of society that have given up their civic responsibility to improve society (whether by ensuring the other participants in the democracy are educated or by reducing pollution, etc.) and that believes that these groups should continue to remain impoverished for generations, radiating harms on the rest of society.

Could anyone comment on Temporal vs Airflow?

After having a lot of pain points with an (admittedly older and probably not best-practices) Airflow setup, I am now at a different job running similar types of workflows on Temporal - we're pretty happy with it so far, but haven't done anything crazy with it.
It has often come across that way online (Twitter or forum threads). Anyone explaining (even if they say it is to help explain, not to agree with) or trying to understand the opposing sides perspective is almost the same as espousing it, and espousing it is worth brigading someone or attacking them.

It’s a ‘group purity’/‘rank discipline’ thing humans do when they feel threatened.

You’ll see plenty of folks now going after anyone claiming they are ‘apolitical’ or moderate/not on a side.

It results in folks having to pick sides publicly, but often the folks who agree with the opposition being silenced and often just voting the way they feel in quieter ways, while pretending to go along. de-facto boycotts (with no explanations), voting certain ways (Trump, whatever) without telling anyone they did it, etc.

the only people willing to stand up and espouse it publicly are those that feel they can profit off those unwilling to say it themselves or for whom due to mental defect or wealth or whatever they feel invulnerable to backlash.

I’ve personally seen groups in person do the same, but it takes somewhat extreme circumstances or toxic cultures.

I think it’s a reflex that comes out of the us vs them and ideological splintering inherent from a culture war. Which is what is happening in the US.

Broadly, it’s rural vs urban values colliding, and rural communities feeling the effects of severe brain drain and decreasing populations and wealth.

With the large shift of folks from the cities to more remote areas from Covid +
Remote work, I expect it won’t go as well longer term either as a lot of the echo chamber online seems to think. There will be mixing, but people tend to get more conservative after awhile in those areas too.

Just like the 70’s with free love and hippies transitioned into the 80’s being about money money and more conservative politics, times are a changing.

The papers I read would keep a running tally of the types of the variables and if they were all the same could optimize and/or specialize the called functions. If not they would just fall back to checking the types before performing whatever operations.

Basically the theory behind the Futamura projections.

I’m sure you could write some code which could keep an abstract interpreter or however type checking is implemented busy forever especially with a dynamic language with eval but, you know, you get what you pay for.

Or I’m completely wrong since I just read about this stuff for fun…

I found it particularly ironic given he specifically used the example of Harry Potter, "a pretty thick book" being only "about 500kb of text", despite the fact that the actually book (the physical object he specifically picks as his metaphor) has pictures at the start of every chapter, not to mention the custom fonts and typesetting. You would need way more than 500kb to represent the actual book.
I did not discredit your argument. It's indeed awful. I'm just inviting to reflect that any way will be awful.

Could you help me understand how the purported strawman diverges from the actual legal argumentation? It sounds like the article is making the case that this equivocation is eerily close to the actual jurisprudential reason.

WHO is meeting this week to vote on amendments to international health regulations, https://www.ejiltalk.org/the-far-reaching-us-proposals-to-am...

> proposed US amendments to Article 12 IHR will both considerably extend the executive powers of the WHO Director-General to declare global emergency-like situations and centralise this power further by removing the need to consult and find agreement with the respective state party ... Articles 9 and 10 IHR moreover strengthen WHO’s powers to assess alleged global health risks by relying on information received outside official channels, giving the respective states only 24 hours to verify such information.

> ... if WHO’s powers are extended in this way, is there a need to also answer the question quis custodiet ipsos custodes (who guards the guards?), and to thus set up mechanisms ensuring that WHO complies with its obligations under the IHR and its Constitution, as well as its responsibilities for human rights deriving from customary international human rights law?

You're going to pay the bill regardless, whether the employee is hired by your team or hired by the cloud vendor.

I don't know how management works through this math, maybe managing people gets exhausting and they just want to out-source it so leadership doesn't have to deal with it and then they can just focus on the core product.

And the above "I don't want to deal with it" reason isn't spoken of, the more more commonly touted benefit is cloud's "flexibility". Sure, but this is actually _really_ expensive. Every cloud migration effort I've experienced is only just worthwhile to begin to talk about because the costs are based on long-term contracts of cloud resources, not the per-hour fees. Nice flexibility.

With that said, the cloud may be a good place for prototyping where the infrastructure isn't the core value add and it's uncertain. A start-up is a prototype and so here we are. But, for an established company to migrate to the cloud and fire the staff that's maintaining the on premise resources.. I'm skeptical. More than likely, this leads to maintaining both cloud and on premise resources, not firing anyone, and thus, actually increasing costs for an uncomfortably long time.

And for the folks on the ground, who don't pay the bills, the increase of accidental complexity is rather painful.

People certainly do believe these things and I don’t know if it’s even something they can be “logically” wrong about. Where they are factually wrong is that they think they’re traditional but these are fully modern ideas.

The actual Jewish tradition is against several of those; the actual Christian tradition may be for them, but the idea that you should actually read the Bible, know what an official position is, or do anything yourself outside of talking to a priest is a modern invention of Protestantism. And Protestants weren’t against abortion until recently, because they defined themselves as against Catholicism.
This has been my experience as well. I found myself arguing against the awful logic of my own side, more than the other side at all.
Generally agree and find the same.

However, I would argue moral philosophy is inherently built on unprovable axioms. The criticism "used to justify whatever they want" is actually a necessary feature to morality, because the whole point of morals is that not everyone shares your morals. If they were shared by everyone, they would just be objective truths.

This suggests there is a simple solution for the abortion debate that will satisfy the (claimed) intentions of both side: Abortion should remain legal until there are zero unadopted children in the foster care system (for more than a year), and the outcomes for children who have been adopted are at least as good as those raised by their natural parents.
What sort of workflows do you run in Apache Airflow? Are they automating interactions with partners/clients or internal communications? How can it become so scaled up that they (and many people in the comments here as well) have trouble managing the hardware? How can it become so complex that the workflows need to be expressed in DAG's? What's a workflow?

I don't think I ever worked anywhere that had automated workflows, though my I only worked for small startups so far.

Personally, in times like this I can think of three places to invest:

1. Government Bonds
2. Cash (hoarding it)
3. Early Stage Startups

The most fun and promising is #3, because they will take a few years to reach public markets anyway, and by that time there should be another bull cycle. In the meantime, things need to be built anyway. Especially startups that build stuff that people need or things that save money (like metaverse saves on traveling) because they'll cut down on non-necessities (including entertainment, travel and fuel).

The two companies I personally run are 10 and 4 years old, respectively, and have never taken VC, let alone IPO. They have been designed to help communities in the hard times ahead, with their own social networks, coins, etc.
