a group of about eight to ten of the typical small to medium size south asian feral dogs came out of the grass and bushes by the side of the road, and began approaching me all together at a medium pace, in a group with what I interpreted as aggressive body language (having owned a number of different breeds of domestic north american dogs for many years since childhood).

I had been pulling a wheeled piece of luggage which possibly set them off because its noise was quite unusual at that time and place.
If you can have such a structured, rote process then why isn't it just automated/self-serve? That is one thing I like about my medium-sized (public) company, you can't necessarily touch things yourself but you only wait in line for human attention if your request is somewhat unusual or actually calls for discretion and creativity.
It is so good to see an archeological announcement article that includes photos of the actual find! Great that they shared them.

> How many years have you been doing this?

Over a decade, before all these tooling existed.

> This post feels like a trivialization of how complicated everything is, how complexly interlinked build systems are.

I know build systems can get very complicated, in fact it's part of my point. Which is that considering you already need to set up a build pipeline, adding typescript support is quite simple.

> You know what would be great? If we could just write code. If we didn't have to worry about build pipelines.

But that will not be the case. People are not FTPing their dev folders into prod anymore. Even with this change, you will still need a build pipeline, as everybody already does regardless if they use TS or not.

> JS used to be extremely low cost & light weight to play with, to get started with. It used to be a joy. It still is, but the barrier to entry is much higher, using modules has never been the same dream as slapping some <script src="http://jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>'s down on the page (not a real link) and having it just work. This goal is fulfillent to a noble & excellent intent to once again spark joy.

I disagree with this. That's probably nostalgia talking. Slapping some script URL and editing with Notepad++, having absolutely no IntelliSense, no errors/squiggly lines and having to F5 a browser after every change, trying to hit the code path in question and check the browser console for errors was awful.

Nowadays the editor will tell you what's wrong as you type it, the browser will automatically refresh the code while maintaining state and so on.
This is a weird caricature of how a union works. Unions protect workers from being fired by their employers so I’m not sure what a union “boss” could do to someone who upset them.
Application Packaging was in my past; can confirm the disdain for Access. There was a definite gap in IT Support though.

Upon upgrading from Windows XP, Access was removed from the environment AND existing access databases were shoved into a database farm.

But any new business needs for something similar IE "Hey IT, we want a little app just to store XYZ business info" fell on deaf ears - the response was always "Hire IT Company to build it and hand it over." which of course would cost tens of thousands rather than a handful and thus priced it out of existence.

Which meant of course the business people started finding solutions OUTSIDE of IT Support purview....
We’ve rolled our own but https://reactflow.dev is pretty neat and OSS.
Suppose there was a top-level internet domain where no advertising or tracking was allowed. No exceptions. None. Including a smell-test for native ads. Anyone who tried it would perma-banned from registering any domain, anywhere, ever.

IMO, millions of people would soon browse nowhere else unless they were specifically looking to buy or to donate. Might even turn into the internet we used to care about.

That’s your use case, but it’s not the use case the standards bodies have in mind.

ESM imports are the standard, unlike Node’s require. And you can now write ESM code that’ll run flawlessly on the backend and the front end without any transpiration. IMO that’s huge. Type annotations remove yet another blocker.
Nice comment, you opened a new perspective on this.

>But what if you actually do want your dependency list to trigger invalidation?

I (we, as it was a team) once had a scenario where there was a big dependency graph with a lot of replicas (not necessarily caches but a similar thing) and if we just used TTLs the effect on the whole thing was that there were some periods of time where we've just got a flood of nodes (children, grandchildren, and so on) all wanting to update at the same time, talking to each other and whatnot.

In the end the solution was quite complex as it was a combination of a short TTL, some random delays here and there to lower the probability of things happening at the exact same time, very low message overhead and a system akin to ETags in HTTP [1]. It was very hard due to the scale of the whole system and I'm sure Meta has this problem 100x so, disregarding the poor choice of title, it was an interesting read nonetheless.

This is the best argument that there is not widespread fraud. The odds of getting caught are pretty high, the penalties stiff, and the value of a single vote practically zero. Sure, some races are that close, but most are not, so any kind of systemic effort has vastly more risk than it's worth just to get one lowly elected position flipped from an opposing party.
> When that happens, though, Colombia will face a challenge from Spain and an indigenous group in Bolivia to determine who keeps the bounty.

I understand the Colombian and Bolivian claims, but Spain trying to get their blood gold 300 years after enslaving and murdering the natives is a bit rich.
You hit the nail on the head: "they just added ballots and records for registered voters they knew weren't going to show up."

Which is exactly why charities and get out the vote campaigns shouldn't be given voter roles and voter statuses.
That really depends on where you are. The USA is really weirdly keen on using titles like that compared to where I live.

So many immigrants, and also two world empires back to back spoke english.

People (from England) say people go "to hospital" which is correct.

Americans (immigrants) saw a big building with the word Hospital on it, so they say go "to the hospital."

Multiply that experience by a million and here we are.
I've only seen the Kubrick adaptation but it was very heavily implied that the narrator is impotent. He's shown to be a character to be laughed at, nervous in his behavior, and quite hapless in romantic overtures.

Contrast that with the movie Pretty Baby where the main character becomes obsessed with a 12 year old prostitute and then sleeps with her. I find that movie to be more bordering on the obscene than Lolita.
This is perfect. Thanks so much.

Anyone know of others?

If you say a malicious server can't determine which article was retrieved, is that private information retrieval (PIR)? Something must be different here. I thought there was a theorem that for single-server PIR to work, the client has to download the entire DB, which is the right way to read Wikipedia privately anyway.

Try fixing the cities. Cities and suburbs are most of the population. Biggest bang for the buck. And places where mass transit can work.

It's not an "until the last home in rural Montana is near a subway stop we're not finished" kind of problem.
This sounds like a nightmare in cold chain logistics waiting to happen, where Uber brokers the deal between the end user and restaurant, then subcontracts the necessary steps out. An example from the meal kit services industry is where a truck is required to stay below 40F so that raw meat doesn't grow bacteria during transport, or else the entire truck is deemed a total loss and the affected parties have to create an entirely new shipment. There's some insulative material between the your food and the outside air but the handoffs will have to be timed well especially in LA during the summertime.

My guess is that shipping companies like UPS have built out excess cold chain capacity intended for vaccine rollout during the pandemic, and now are sitting on a lot of empty subzero-capable freezers in their warehouses that Uber is renting for pennies on the dollar. As far as how excited people are to get a glorified TV dinner of leftovers not designed to be frozen then eaten a week later? The entire idea has a bit of silliness in that you could get prime ribeyes for 2 at a high end steakhouse locally versus a stale spaghetti dinner at the same price. And the bonus of not frivilously contributing to climate change in the process.

Doesn’t this shift the burden onto local utility grids and their customers instead of vehicle owners?
I feel like these are crazy different magnitudes though. Buying a team of 10 the most expensive pizza in town is like $150. Giving that same team noticeably better healthcare costs…

* $3000/mo to cover employee paid premiums.

* $5k-$30k/yr to fund everyone up to their individual deductible.

* $5k-$100k/yr to fund everyone up to their individual oopm

* $36k/yr to fully find everyone’s HSA.

I think there’s a lot of cheap low hanging fruit that makes people happy like pizza, beer, snack, and soda and it’s not like the choice is one or the other.
> Contrast that with the movie Pretty Baby where the main character becomes obsessed with a 12 year old prostitute and then sleeps with her. I find that movie to be more bordering on the obscene than Lolita.

It surprised me to find that this movie is available on several streaming platforms. Given the content I always wonder how this works within the legal framework of the US. BTW, my take on that movie was that he actually didn't sleep with her (though likely planned to eventually).
some cultures pay closer attention to family ties than others, and deploy language to communicate these thoughts, as all language is deployed.
I wouldn't consider them experts on the language, since English is not a prescriptive language. However, they do provide good historical references on use of words to avoid the ridiculous 'you can't use that word like that' arguments.

If we're going to be prescriptive about use of 'they' as a definite pronoun we may as well complain about how particular and peculiar swapped meanings in common vernacular.
this is why the DC powered servers in the open compute platform design rack are all fed from something like 277VAC (or even 480VAC) to a centralized power supply in the rack, which creates 48VDC, and is then fed from the center of the rack to a bunch of 1U sized servers. any particular 48vdc cable set of conductors is not longer than about 160 cm.

individual servers then have 48vdc-to-12vdc high efficiency power supplies to create power usable by their motherboards.

of course you don't want to run cables for 12vdc around anywhere.

Some facilities keep generators either on the technical floor, or on the roof.

AFAICT putting out relatively small hydrocarbon fires is done efficiently with water and foaming agents that cut off the air supply. As soon as the generator is not producing electricity, these measures can be used.

Batteries though cannot be switched off, and using water around serious electrical currents is a very, very dangerous idea. It's already much harder to put out a fire around lead-acid batteries, and nigh impossible with Lithium-based batteries.

This is where you need actual physical firewalls which can withstand fire for a long time and not let it through.
Not a comment in regard to this article in particular, but I love Quanta Magazine. Just the right amount of detail for a non-scientist and consistently fascinating subject matter.
Food for thought: towing a 10,000lb load will shorten the range to well under 100 miles. Then you need to recharge it. This doesn’t sound useful in the slightest. Maybe very specific missions will benefit but far from the norm of a f150.

Personally I will not spend $75k (fully loaded at $90k) just for the possibility to charge my house if the power goes out or to use power tools at a work site, there are lower cost options for both. Def wouldn’t tow a boat 300mi to the beach so this model really seems like a toy but maybe I’m missing something? Anyone else seriously consider this truck?

It's the other way around. Historically "anarchy" almost always had negative connotations. Then Proudhon co-opted the term to use it in a positive sense.
Rising from the Ashes: Stage Manager
But the pedophilia has an interesting twist: the child initiate then dismiss it while the main character, writing from jail, is a victim of it. At least on a first level, but sometimes you can feel it's not exactly how it is for Dolores. It's strange and surprising all along, it's in 3 parts: the rise up to the seduction, the american road trip and then the morale: youth is passing, children play and forget, whatever else you want to take from it.

It's an interesting book as a French since the character is French, the road trip was amazing for me because I dont know the backside america, and I like the fact americans are so prude they call that pedophilia, when frankly, it puts you off of it more than drags you.
> Solution is to build more housing

Yeah, we have been there, tried that and it was a disaster.

More housing might be the answer, but more public housing projects is definitely not the answer.
I eagerly await the supply-and-demand explanation for why apartment prices remain at around 250x median annual income despite a 5% occupancy rate.
Ah, thanks, that's fair since most people are going to make those sort of voluntarist associations. I guess I was imagining an edge case for people who opt to not do that, but that feels an awful lot like when people today make arguments like "well, nobody's forcing you to carry a phone!"

I suppose this all comes back to the point that nobody is pragmatically advocating for absolute anarchy - it's simply a valuable concept to reference as we collaborate to build actual, functioning social systems. Or, at least, that's how I tend to think about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
San Francisco Says “Enough”
Well luckily for us that in the US, the new construction was not built to last.

I know, right - "Spain insists that the bounty is theirs since it was aboard a Spanish ship" - I couldn't believe that! Like if you catch someone stealing stuff from your house and loading it into a truck, and they say "It's mine because it's it my truck". Not just saying it, but insisting on it in court. Shameful.
We were doing that for most of the 90s and early 2000s and it was working. It's only because of grifters and agitators and "thought leaders" who try to make a buck off of divisions and needless debates that we see this resurgence in these types of politics. And underneath the veneer of race concern-trolling there's a resurgence in communist ideas trying to use the wedge of race as the basis for justifying both the redistribution of wealth and the dissolution of merit-based systems.
I know what that is, I get that, I could have done that.

I just consider it a trap for some moment when you are up against strife, like some tragedy, or you're traveling. That's a great way to get deep into debt right there, especially if you're renting a car, that's why everyone pushes you into traveling (credit cards spesh, double miles on the plane, cover you getting chiseled supposedly, need them to rent a car) and why I flat out refuse to travel. Like I can take the subway to a pretty park, there's so many, or go for a walk any direction I choose, no waiting for anything. I speak two many languages as it is, the fuck am I going to go to uh, ¡Singapore! as though it were at the bottom bottom bottom any different than Santiago from the tourist angle. Take photographs of what?! Like cool buildings yeah but $4500 plane ticket not including the enormous damage to my spine of that seat for that amount of time, flying coach obviously. And dealing with a chiropractor douche for the rest of my life.

I mean really? Like you'll find yourself in Singapore, or Islamabad, or Casablanca. Or Dubai, craven debt machine right there. Plus like everything that credit cards are for are basically harmful things. Like a car, or a medical emergency (frequently a scam, and if you can't pay they don't bother malpracticing on you in order for you to need their shitty grudgingly delivered treatment), or what else. Renting a hotel room to FUCK, for what else? Well one thing, if you get evicted you have somewhere to go. And then what you use it for, which is to get 1% or 2% back (or 3% back for some shit, I correctly assume that's why you have 5, different points rewards). It's not 3% back for ANYTHING, that's THEFT. If I am cornered brutally into having a credit card I will tally those small "cash back" shits of points and give that money right back to the store. It's theft, it's THEFT, I don't care if every article in the Bill of Rights is exclusively dedicated to saying it's not theft it's THEFT, you're stealing from Christians, in your case you're stealing from me ultimately, for refusing to participate by either paying or receiving compound interest.

And that's why they make it 1% or 2%, so you don't say "Hey I'm stealing from Daniel Cussen" (or any Christian) you say "it's just one percent, it rounds down to nothing, good little bonus at the end of the month. Cash back." Dude next time I'm at the teller I'm going to ask her 2% cash back for not paying with a credit card, see what she says.

See! Told you it's stealing!
That's a little backwards: something like the modern state might emerge from groups of people living in any number of ways. Clans/tribes don't emerge from the lack of a state. The state as we think of it is very recent in human history, after all.

Also you originally referred to the "problems of governance in Afghanistan" which I took to mean the warlordism, violence, suppression of women and so on. I was pointing out that these problems are more tied to the specific cultural and religious history of that area. If by governance problems you were instead referring to the strictly administrative or bureaucratic challenges you might encounter trying to, for example, organize a collection of peaceful worker communes, then I misunderstood.
This. I was wondering if anyone was going to mention it.

Who said anything about 1/2 a horsepower? I’m talking about the most powerful pump in the universe, both (known and unknown). How far up an unbreakable column can that pump push the water? And then, what if you make it just a little more powerful, can the water hypothetically be pushed higher?

Seems unfair at times. macOS Ventura is currently being developer beta tested—it’s not even the public beta yet. The tiny UI inconsistencies are to be expected in developer beta 1. It’s not a finished product—it’s three months from even being out. Why criticise such small things as the button outlines?
I run a few big sites on WordPress, and would totally recommend you use the simply static plugin, and configure nginx to serve those cached files directly so it never hits php. I also usually put cloudflare in front as well, but you can have a screaming fast wordpress site that scales really far by itself without it just with that trick.

If you need some dynamism, w3 total cache is also a great choice.

If you're not an nginx hacker, there are some great examples around the internet. This page is pretty helpful: https://wordpress.org/support/article/nginx/
My problem has never been invalidation as stated in the article, but how to manage interdependent cache entries, so that when one is invalidated, the dependent ones must also be invalidated. For example get_user(123) and get_users_for_org(456). Suppose user with id 123 is part of the org with id 456. When the user is deleted, you have to invalidate the get_users_for_org(456) entry. I haven’t seen any convincing “design pattern” for managing such dependencies.
