Namecheap has a large Ukrainian workforce but is incorporated in the US and also has employees in many other locations around the world. The company cannot be seized by Russia, and I trust them to take appropriate measures to lock out their Ukrainian offices if the cities fall. In the meantime, I'll stick with Namecheap precisely because they employ a lot of Ukrainians.

> I would suggest that the vast majority of commercial games still trend very heavily towards the "done" model. Maybe a few patch releases over a year or two, but nothing like the Open Source model where the energy invested is constant.

I wish that was the case because then you as the player could be done with paying for the game once. Instead, the current trend is to make games into live services that have continuous development funded with continuous revenue streams. Moch more predictable for the companies to see their revenue slowly go up or down than invest in a completely new game that might be a hit or might flop completely.
I totally disagree on your assessment of East coast culture, unless you are only spending time in basically wealthy, old money, blue blood type places. Which considering you mention polo and rowing, that is probably the case. The working class parts and middle class people in the East Coast don't name drop, and believe in more of having made it themselves.

It could just be that a factor which increases testosterone has been steadily disappearing.

For example, testosterone is elevated in males after winning a fight. So if physical confrontations among males are getting less frequent for some reason (which seems like a good thing to me), then that could lead to lower testosterone levels.

Another possible explanation is that we've had good birth control for a few generations now, which has eliminated the advantage of high sex drive on a males' chances of fathering children. So there is no longer a selection effect for high testosterone males. (Also seems like a good thing.)

Anyway, my point is not that the above explanations are correct; just that there might be benign explanations.
It sounds you see it as more CYA for employees than employers? That’s probably true. The companies I’ve worked at have deleted old emails rather than keep a record of all conversations, so that material doesn’t show up lawsuits. When someone leaves the company, all their emails are deleted.

Sorry, bad wording. Just updated that.

Blitz does not replace anything of Next.js. Rather, it compliments it's minimalism.

To build a full app, you need to add a lot of things on top of Next.js. Blitz provides some of those libraries.

Apple already scans iCloud photos for CSAM. So does Google, Dropbox, everybody scans online media for known CSAM and has for many years. That isn't what this is about.

This is about scanning data on your device, before it's uploaded to the cloud. That's what privacy advocates fought against, because it opens a very scary door. Nobody wants child abuse, but what about other things that are illegal in other jurisdictions? For example, once that door is open, Russia could force Apple to scan your phone for pro-Ukraine memes, or Saudi Arabia could scan for gay porn.

You carry your phone around every day. It isn't hyperbolic to say your life is on your phone. That's scary stuff.

> Is dynamic scope hard to understand or be explained or isn't it just the case that most find it to be a terrible idea for general purpose software development?

I think that dynamic scope is strictly better than global variables: all of its downsides are shared by globals, but it has the important advantage that a dynamic binding is scoped. Given that every popular language I am aware of supports globals in some form, I think that adopting dynamic scope would be an improvement.

Even more interesting is to consider what would it would mean to replace global with dynamic scoping entirely. I don’t really know if that is possible or efficient, but it certainly is intriguing. Almost like dependency injection throughout the language. Kinda sorta kinda.
I love owning books. I love having a library at home that I can FEEL. I love being able to look at a shelf full books ive read and books I want to read.

Honestly the only downside about the space they take up, which I dont really feel like is a downside if you have a little space and nice shelfs, is that moving a lot of books is terrible.
I see that Giulio here has attained an A+ buffer bloat rating for his or her home network. I've tried this in the past with limited success, mostly because I don't want to introduce another failure point (dedicated router, separate from wireless access point) to my network.

Am I being silly? I'm concerned about what could happen if there's a failure when I'm not home to maintain everything, since I'm the only person who can or wants to work with this equipment.

I'd love to reduce my buffer bloat to improve the quality of my my video and audio calls. But I'm not sure it's worth it. Or if the results in this post demonstrate an average use case with a crappy ISP.

For a wide range of consumables and gear that hackers of the physical world would probably like, check out Project Farm, protoolreviews, ToolGuyd, and of course AvE on YouTube.

For kitchen gear, check out America's Test Kitchen.

I hang out in r/bifl but it isn't as good as it used to be for my personal tastes, as there isn't as much of an emphasis on repairability as I'd prefer.

I wish there was a trend of someone like AvE doing a teardown of junk-quality consumer gear, then by replacing certain parts like bad capacitors, plastic gears, etc., turning it into much higher-quality equipment, and open-sourcing those small parts' design and manufacturing specs.

One hack I employ is I go straight to the servicing departments and find the service technicians, and lately I only go to commercial B2B offerings. They are usually more than happy to tell you which manufacturers and product lines are easiest to diagnose and service (and whether that conjunction of characteristics leads to reliability), have a reliable supply of parts, maintain that parts supply the longest, and have retained all those characteristics the most years. It is no more than a 10-15 minute conversation most service technicians are happy to have.

They will be especially happy to talk with you if you ask them how you can plan to accommodate their service visits more pleasant and efficient to work in. HVAC techs in particular will trade around site porn of customers who planned ahead, put in a proper-sized and sited pad easy to roll up to with all their equipment in their work van, with provisions for ample shade that doesn't obstruct the equipment airflow. They will <squee> over that more than tween girls over the heartthrob du jour.

Then I talk up staff at businesses who have to use the equipment every day to find out the most annoying aspects of using that equipment to determine whether I can put up with those idiosyncracies myself.

There are some manufacturers I will absolutely not even consider in the US for some equipment, for example. Samsung refrigerators; they are not designed to last past the warranty, not designed to be easily diagnosed and serviced, and their parts supply network reflects that. There are some categories of equipment I have absolute requirements no matter where I am in the world. Rigging gear where a failure puts life and safety at risk I will outright refuse to purchase and use from anywhere but Japan, Germany, and the US from long-standing manufacturers making it in those nations. I will pay the price to import it to where I am and wait for as long as it takes to get through customs. I'm beginning to stop using Amazon and switching to direct from manufacturer, distributors, or retailers listed on the manufacturer's web site; the SKU commingling issue has gotten out of hand, and Amazon's poor inventory control has robbed whatever unique value proposition their logistics arm painstakingly built up.

But are all the buildings on the MS campus, for example, "built to code"? (that's the US phrase isn't it). Do we reasonably expect most, let's say, post-80s buildings to survive a magnitude 9+?
For me, building a machine is identical to writing code.

I can’t really see a difference.
Both of your last two hypotheses are true, in my estimation.
I suspect that AMD & Intel push the motherboard manufactures in that direction. You can certainly get more high-speed PCIe slots if you get one of the higher-end product lines (Threadripper, Xeon, etc.)
Lawyer here -- I came up with an idea to allow lawyers to review and rate judges years ago when I started out in insurance defense. Eventually built it (legalclimate.com) but never could figure out how to create interest in it. Maybe it's just a bad idea, no product market fit and all that.

Law is a weird and fickle business. It's way behind the rest of professions as far as technology goes, and is still mired in tradition, for better or worse.

Judges are very biased no matter how neutral they seem. I have not been able to accurately predict whether I will win a motion. I can think I've got the law and facts on my side, only to lose to a whiny opponent. I don't whine to judges and I've watched many lawyers do that. In my experience blow hard whiny lawyers seem to get their way. I just can't be like that though.

The public has a poor understanding of the inner workings of law practice and the courts. Some of that is from TV and dumb books, but a lot of that is due to the "black box" aspect of the courts. Everything is sort of done in secret and without transparency. I had hoped to change that with my idea but it didn't work.
> Should you run a server in prod with sensitive workloads without all these extra security bells and whistles (on prem or in the cloud)? No. No you should not.

Why not? Have people forgotten how to run servers in the past decade?
Ah yes, GoDaddy. They killed my favorite webhost, Media Temple. In the mid 2000s & 2010s (mt) was just about the Apple of webhosts. They had an amazing shared server infrastructure—the grid—that was user friendly and was a great introduction to being a web creator on the internet.

Then GoDaddy bought them, and did nothing useful with them. Nothing. I kinda sat with MT since it was easy to be complacent, but my feathers were ruffled recently once I noticed that GoDaddy started transferring my domains around to start raising my renewal prices. Shady as hell.

I've started to jump ship, but it's not a one click and be done with it process.
And they do - I do a ton of business with GoDaddy not by choice. They send reminders, soo many reminders. I have clients straight up lie to my face that they "didn't receive the reminder" when in fact I find it in their inbox marked as read. GD sucks, but not as much as most people portray.
As I replied above, experience has shown us, as a general rule, update mechanisms help more than they hurt.

But like with every solution to a problem, you have to decide what’s best for you, your users, and the internet as a whole. Quite the balancing act.

There's 2 problems though:
1. Does the Blitz RPC thing work the same way as TRPC? If so then it will suffer the same slowdown at scale and basically have to be removed once a project reaches a certain size?

2. Having got used to Vite I just cannot go back to Webpack (which IIRC Next still wraps).

I agree.

I may be talking straight out of my ass, but I've been stewing on a chain of events I think I've been following in the USA:

We've left rates too low for too long - my observation is that industries are consolidating left and right with that leeway (who cares if it takes 20 years to see a return, keep buying competitors).

These consolidated, indebted monoliths are then either run terribly (so they get bailouts to protect voters with jobs - General Motors) or diving head first into anti-consumer rent seeking (to pay off their debts from consolidating - the whole Shkreli debacle).

These companies, either unable to pay off debts or diving into anti-consumer behaviors, will in turn have people voting for politicians who will gain the power to tell the monoliths how to operate, and next thing you know these particular companies are at risk of becoming direct extensions of the government, where their operations are dictated by a central authority (we have yet to fully embrace this phase in the USA, but we get so close every few years).

I can think of several historical examples where a central authority dictating how industry is run is a bad thing.

Personally I think it's a feature that companies fail, and we need to encourage our businesses to be happy to take the money and run, not perform this balloon up and seek rent song and dance. I think rate hikes can be a great way to achieve this incentive by increasing the risk involved in such large scale maneuvers.

I'd also be down for some good old fashioned Ma Bell break ups, however IMO it seems like there are too many companies in this position to know where to start. I may be misinformed but it feels endemic in our country.

Does anyone else have any thoughts?

EDIT: some phrasing
They're quite wrong about 'this being stupid'.

It is true, that the amount of solar needed to power the entire US is about 0.5% of the land.

That doesn't mean there's no benefit in increasing the efficiency of panels and get dual use of the land. It also has the benefit of allowing for solar in more places where it's needed for more decentralized power.
I've yet to have any issues with them.

The Kubernetes authors were explicit in stating that stateless workloads were their design target, and it is somewhat obvious that StatefulSets were a concession, so this isn't terribly surprising to me.

I have a feeling that OpenShift handles stateful workloads more gracefully due to their enterprise-oriented customer base, but I have nothing to back that.

(Blitz wraps NextJS wraps React)
I work on an m1 macbook and a lot of times using arm architecture breaks dependencies. I have two really basic functions in my .zshrc (should also work for bash):

# M1 compatibility switches

arm() { arch -arm64 "${@:-$SHELL}" }

x86() { arch -x86_64 "${@:-$SHELL}" }

This with the addition of `$(uname -m)` in my $PROMPT, has saved me a lot of time by letting me switch between arm and x86_64 architecture.
Everyone love's a skeptic :)

If you properly build a large codebase using patterns like Clean Architecture, then tools like Next.js or Blitz should be fully isolated away from your app logic.

If you need auth in Next.js, your options are Blitz Auth or Next Auth. Try both and see which you like best.

If you need type safe client/server communication, Blitz RPC is one of the options.

Neither of these dictate absolute control over your code as your comment implies.
