They would have been making lithium soap based grease of varying grades (google up "grease thickness scale" if you want to know exactly what the options are). Cheap mass produced lithium grease was relatively novel back then so there were all sorts of fancy trade names for it. I'm sure in it's day it was high performing but by modern standards it wouldn't be anything special.
If they suspect you of operating a child porn ring, they know that you will most likely take precaution and nuke everything if you even catch wind that you are under investigation, which is why they will subpoena your bank records, phone records, ISP records, and probably put surveillance on you.

If the only thing that shows up from all the data is literally a public DNS that points to a public ip address with questionable content, while you are leading a relatively normal life with all your other income accounted for, the agency (given that they have enough tech experience in cybercrime here) will most likely assume that you are a victim, and will go talk to you. Now of course, nothing is for certain, but statistically speaking, FBI doesn't go busting doors without prior investigation.
Violence is almost never directed towards the ruling class since the ruling class is not on the same street with you folks.

Nice timeline. One thing to point out though is Bitbucket only supported Mercurial up until October 2011.

> If I were the Internet Dictator, I'd be a big fan of standardizing the semantics of http separate from the physical transport and then defining best practices for using alternative transports in the wild, and then eventually standardizing what comes out of that process.

This is what the IETF has been doing for several years already as part of the core HTTP specification rewrite. Namely, see the HTTP Semantics document https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-semantics...

Semantics are common, how those map to specific transport - how it looks on the wire - is then the job of each individual HTTP version.

It reads like you're overlooking the act of standardization in improving the definition of a protocol. Experimentation is good but often only focuses on a limited set of use cases, deployments, or implementations. Standardization is great for interoperability across a more diverse set of all those three. This typically yields protocols that are more generally applicable for a wider population of the Internet.

Google QUIC was focused on an HTTP use case and thatbran through the entire design. Through the IETF process, the design evolved to be a far more generic transport with rich extensibility and modularity.
Cool, "upward of" means "in excess of" rather than "up to". Thanks for the correction.

I've got a Kia Soul EV, not a Tesla, but... not really.

ICE engine needs coolant for the transmission, which I don't have. Break fluid technically (and keeping up to date on pads & rotors & so) but regenerative braking means the engine recharges a little bit for most braking action, rather than going to the brakes themselves. I think the only time my brakes actually engage are the final bit of coming to (and holding) a stop, and hard emergency braking. I suspect I'll be replacing the tires before the brake pads.
I play Overwatch too and I'm kind of worried about what's going to happen when Overwatch 2 releases. OW 1's monetization policy is extremely generous, at this point in the game's lifecycle I have about 1000 hrs of playtime and have nearly every single cosmetic, and the only money I've sent Blizzard's way is the CD key and the pink charity skin.

I worry that the pendulum will swing too far in the other direction and we'll see P2W elements, particularly in the PvE mode that eventually releases.
They shouldnt have sold. They should be competing with AMD & Intel & Apple.

You also have the wrong market segment. This was supposed to be a 25w chip with crazy high i/o. Dual 10Gbit, plenty of pcie & sata... back in 2006... at low power, all integrated... this chip was supposed to be a dara pushing monster.

Maybe they could have scaled down but the intent was obviously different, to deliver performant extremely well integrared embedded & bigger cpus.
Quoting wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeypox#Causes)

Most human cases of monkeypox are acquired from an infected animal, though the route of transmission remains unknown. The virus is thought to enter the body through broken skin, the respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, or mouth. Once a human is infected, transmission to other humans is common, with family members and hospital staff at particularly high risk of infection.

Squashing literally requires `git rebase`. Perhaps you think of squashing as a GitHub button and not a series of rewriting commands? Technically, any rewrite is equivalent to some arbitrary construction of history from some point in time, but I think a reasonable definition of rewriting history is if you need to rebase or cherry-pick when using the command-line.
I suspect that most restaurants would be unable to exist if they paid their workers fairly. Margins are already paper-thin, so the significant increase in labor costs to fairly compensate workers would mean that menu prices would rise to a level most current diners could not afford.
Technically, they are: you erased commits from your history. You created a single new commit with equivalent contents, but the timeline has been altered, and if you previously pushed to your remote you now have to force push because the remote remembers a version of history that no longer happened.

Fossil heavily discourages (outright forbids?) this kind of stuff.
Considering codeberg.org is a productionized deployment of Gitea, I'm guessing deploying a HA version is possible, and you can bet that an LB can be put in front of it. As for SSO, I'm not sure if Azure AD is supported, but some SSO configurations are supported directly in Gitea[0].

I do the client auth feature. The chances of someone stumbling across my hidden service is pretty low I think, but it’s not zero. With auth set up I don’t think a Tor client can even get the Id of the rendezvous server without having the correct key.
Either you have an existing db running and check the metrics, or you don't have a workload to move and you can just try it out from scratch. You can always migrate away if the billing model doesn't work for you.

Alternatively, it's likely that Planetscale will eventually provide a provisioned billing model, similar to DynamoDB. Then you can choose between scalable usage based pricing or less flexible flat rate pricing. Either way, innovating different billing models for RDBMS is a win.

A trick I've used to do something similar in the past is to setup detailed API logs that are designed to be replayed elsewhere.

This involves more than just standard web access logs, since you also need to capture any POST bodies too in order to be able to replay them later against a test environment.

This reminds me of the concept (parallel reconstruction I think) where law enforcement gets information from a covert informant but can't "blow" them (or or maybe can't use it in court) and so finds some other way to show how they got to the result.

> Not enough fuel and a car stops. It's completely binary, either you enough gas to go, or you can't go. For a human there is an incredible range of failure modes for not having enough fuel. Humans can survive an absurdly long time when they are 'empty' of food.

You're highly selective. Let's switch things around a bit:

Not enough oxygen and a human stops. It's completely binary. But remove the oil from a car, and it can survive an absurdly long time.

More seriously, you can in sequence replace all parts of a car and it still functions as the original one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus), but you can't do that with a human (even if cells do that in a way). This means you can have a car last 1000 years, but not a biological human.

its interesting to think about what would have happened if apple hadn't switched to intel by then...

I'm both a Github user and a Fossil user. I use Fossil for all of my own projects, because the common operations have less friction and everything runs very fast locally. I'm including wiki, ticketing, etc. in the "common operations" even though I'm the only user of those things.

I would say if you do all of your development in a corporate or institutional setting where you are a contributor on a distributed team, Github is the best choice and the choice will often already have been made for you anyway. If on the other hand you do a lot of development on your own projects, it could be beneficial to spend a half-day and try out Fossil.
> they died because their entire reason for existing disappeared.

That's only true if you characterize Blockbusters reason to exist as "distributing videotapes/dvd via physical stores" rather than just "distributing media".

Netflix also began in the physical media space but was able to pivot to streaming, helped along by their pre-existing remote business model.

Blockbuster tried to get in on the streaming game but it was a behemoth that couldn't swiftly disentangle itself from its old business model, helped along by several bad bets. So, it limped along for years past it being needed until it disappeared practically overnight.

You might think that this outcome was inevitable but that just means you've already taken it as a given that hulking, complex enterprises can't shift their main operating principles on a dime given a massive change in conditions.
Why should this be a supply and demand issue? We are talking about human beings, not furniture! Shouldn’t there be a universal law that says “nobody should be employed for free, in any capacity, at any time”, to hell with supply and demand. After all this is why the concept of minimum wage (however bad it is, it is still greater than zero) exists, no? Why doesn’t it apply to interns?
Half and half: nationalist mafia!
Attempted to find critical counter points to the “seneca curve” — but was unable to find any via Google, Wikipedia, etc.

As is, worth noting that human’s analysis of complex systems is very limited and likely will never realistically be of any truly significant state prior to the collapse of humanity; no formal proof of this myself, but to me, it is clear relatively speaking humanity’s cognitive capacity, observations of universe large, small, over time, etc — are extremely finite.

While it’s possible I have misunderstood the claims made by the seneca curve, the core issues I take are that:

— most man made complex systems likely do follow the seneca curve, though in my opinion, so do most man made systems, not just complex ones.

— many organic systems though do not follow this pattern. For example, the human body reaches peak complexity, that is full development, early in the average life span, then slowly decays and is very resilient to failures within its system.

Guess not having read the original research, to me the seneca curve feels like both literal & semantic cherry picking.

________

As it relates to the narrow topic of civilizations covered by the article. Yes, humanity has created & labeled various civilizations, but if an alien race was observing humanity, would they really see any meaningful use to these labels in understanding humanity? If not, I would argue neither should humanity and that the true concern should be the collapse of humanity, Earth as we know it, etc.
> There's no other country that comes close to the American culture of gun ownership though.

Yes and no. In the 1960s, over 60% of American households owned a gun. Today, less than a third of households own a gun. Back when America was more rural, it was much more common for kids to have access to a gun because they were more widely owned. But mass shootings were rare to non-existent back when more households had a gun.

The trend of decreasing gun ownership is international. Our percentage of households with a gun today in the US is similar to what it was in Canada, France, or Norway in the mid to late 20th century. But homicide rates in the U.S. are still vastly higher than what they were in those countries decades ago. In fact, homicide rates in the U.S. have always been vastly higher than those in Western Europe, since long before the advent of modern gun laws.
> I’d be in favor of rigorous research on this topic.

There's a lot of pretty high quality research. Unfortunately, it can only tell you about things that are correlated, but it can't establish causation. You can only run observational trials of various kinds-- case control studies, looking at time series data, etc.

> My own experience in the tech industry at many companies leads me to believe that if there is discrimination, it must be either historical or occurring earlier in the pipeline than tech company hiring.

OK-- and if there's some 25 year old who has faced discrimination "earlier in the pipeline"-- what is the proper redress? If candidate A measures 90% as good as candidate B, but candidate B had a much easier road to get to this point, which candidate has more potential?

I'm a teacher and I see it "earlier in the pipeline". By middle school, a whole bunch of kids have figured out that typical engineers don't look like them, and they should maybe consider doing something else-- irrespective of class. Some of my highest performers have been in these groups.

> with the overall effect of selecting for class above all else.

I don't think this is very true of most interventions. But it's true that it's true to some extent for some.
It sucks and I'm truly sorry you have to deal with it. The only reason I know about it and can truly empathize is because I have epilepsy and my first medication caused severe clinical depression, my second made me suicidal and now my third (combinatorial, one of which is used as a bipolar medication weirdly) seems to have the fewest side effects. But saying that, it was different than just a mood and ot was, at least in my case, for sure chemical. Getting off of those medications was like flipping a switch, as I hadn't had depression or had suicidal thoughts in the past, or since. It was so bizarre and eye opening, to say the least.

I’ll admit I was socially primed to make a lukewarm commit due to the greying of your comment. After reading your response, I fully agree with what you are saying.

There was a recent post sharing an article trying to add nuance to popular understandings of the Viking age. The response was pretty negative. It’s sad so many people only see history as a cultural centripetal force to reinforce in-group ties.

There are ads and ticket sellers points of the Heathrow Express all over Heathrow's terminals. It's easy to accidentally pay for an overpriced train if you don't know there is an alternative that costs half the money and arrived in almost the same amount of time.

The last time I was in Heathrow I befriended a poor couple of Italians who bought a £25 Heathrow Express ticket because they thought they needed it to ride the £2.50 Picadilly Line.

I work on heavy diesel engines and old timers know Eisenhower grease. its a nickname for cosmolene, a water resistant grease family used for anything in unforgiving environments. it comes in weights from wax to jelly. you'll see it frequently used to preserve guns for storage.

its also as I've experienced it kinda unrefined? it stinks, smells like turpentine sometimes and is a royal bitch to clean off parts. we don't use it anymore but you can still buy new old stock.

if you burn the wax version to remove it, it emits a choking white smoke. most cosmolene can't be used in high speed applications, and has no friction modifiers like copper or lithium.

just to add, the standard cleaning procedure is mineral spirits or xylene, which creates a toxic waste that most recyclers flat out do not accept. you have to take it to a specialty chemical disposal company.

Zachtronics games don't emulate the horror of the ACTUAL programming experience. They distill away a ton of the most tedious, frustrating aspects (and the just-less-relevant-to-most-programmers'-interests ones, like UI design) and let you focus on the funnest parts: system design and optimization.

In fact, I would argue there is no more efficient, effective, or pleasurable way to practice system design skills specifically than games like Factorio, Shapez.io, Mindustry, and the Zachtronics catalog

Private rebasing to clean up a series of commits before pushing anywhere, for one. While there’s a genuine distinction to be made between private pre-merge history and published post-merge history, Fossil’s stance is that no amount of pre-push cleanup should ever be allowed, that code commits should be immutable history from the moment of inception.
