> the author mentions JavaScript preventing rendering which isn't the case for anybody who is looking to optimize their site for speed

Rewriting your JS to be async-ready can be a huge lift. Not every site pursuing frontend performance is ready to do that, much less has done it. I think this article certainly has an audience.

> I have not run into layout janks when I have used critical path CSS

Call me a skeptic :) if a user is able to scroll beyond the fold before the CSS loads, you've introduced CLS. Spoiler: they will always be able to.

Critical CSS and 0 CLS happens only when you create skeleton placeholder components for everything below the fold as well. There are no "tool/settings" that will do this automatically.
Hmm you're right, I suppose you're correct it would be more free speech purist to simply not have an opinion on censorship whatsoever, but to still not engage in it themselves. Censorship can ironically itself be a form of free speech.

However I will mention that the "paradox of tolerance" posits that if you don't censor those who would censor others, society will end up with more censorship. So there is an argument that somebody who is totally in favor of free speech, EXCEPT the free speech of those who censor others, is a more advocate of free speech than somebody who is for free speech in all situations. This is arguably game theoretically better than the former strategy.

I use proxmox, which is more or less a VM and workflow manager on top of KVM.

The overhead on something like an RPi would be ridiculous, but on modern x86 hardware with an IOMMU (VT-d in Intel speak, AMD-Vi for AMD), the overhead of passing through HW is, for homelab purposes, essentially 0. A lot more expensive, but the organization and extensibility is well worth it.

I have anything that I expose directly to the internet on a separate VM from my "internal" services. If I were super paranoid, I'd expose them to separate VLANs, and then use my FW to control network traffic. The Intel 82599 can enforce different vlans on different VFs with SR-IOV.

I have a VM that runs flatcar for docker for things that are too hard to set up otherwise, but I vastly prefer NixOS for most things.
Nah Bro.. RRR beats all the 3rd rate movies you have mentioned for global audiences.. this coming from a guy who loved Pushpa more than RRR.
I think my link speaks of a larger scale and humans are the super apex predator.

But in a smaller setting, there is a certain hierarchy of prey and predator. Cats are predator to birds. It is natural. Humans are not predators of soil or eco systems. Synthetic fertilizers are not even part of the natural eco system and are artificially introduced to destabilize the natural order.

I often think of Mao’s sparrows. Human were the destabilizers. Beyond a certain point, excess of vegetation caused more birds and rodents. Their population explosion was artificial because birds migrate and go in search of food sources. The demise of the sparrows was also due to an artificially induced agent, humans.

Think GMO mosquitoes. What could go wrong? Except mosquitoes are food source for amphibians..who are eaten by reptiles..enjoyed by raptors etc.

Humans are not part of this eco system but we have stylised ourself to be the super apex predator. As human population explodes, we are wiping out entire species at a much faster rate and replacing them with more of us. This is when trouble sets in…this is where we are..

We need insects and birds and fish and other mammals to know their place in the food chain and thrive so we can eat the end product as we can’t synthesize food ourselves.

All creatures need good soil, water and sunlight for survival because only plants can synthesize their own energy. None of us can eat soil or water or sunlight or any of the natural resources. It needs to be converted into calories by plant life through the magic of photosynthesis.

So without a balanced eco system, we are all toast. It is like cutting the trunk of a tree while sitting on the topmost branch. We will fall. And the tree dies. A cat eating a bird is doing its part by staying within the confines of the role it is meant to play. Humans disrupt the balance. We are not meant to replace all the small order species beneath us.
One person I'm inspired by is Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder and CEO of the dating app Bumble: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitney_Wolfe_Herd

When she was younger, she was kinda a bleeding heart type, selling tote bags and clothing to benefit environmental and human rights causes, then working in an orphanage. She went on to become the VP of marketing for Tinder, but left because of sexual harassment.

She went on to create Bumble, teaming up with a Russian billionaire (that part is admittedly shady). Within a few years, she herself became the youngest self-made female billionaire.

Since then, they've been getting mixed press... allegations of sexual harassment at the office (https://www.forbes.com/sites/angelauyeung/2019/07/08/exclusi...), a paid week off after COVID (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/22/dating-app-bumble-gives-work...), etc.

Overall I just think it's cool to see a woman who didn't grow up in tech get pissed off at the misogyny and forge her own path in reaction, despite all the doubt and vitriol she faced along the way.
That user is one of the Very Important Posters who is allowed to break the rules with impunity. Occasionally dang will chide him but he obviously will never be banned so there’s no reason for him to stop.

> The primary use case for Unix was to multiplex storage (the filesystem) and provide an interactive environment for humans (the shell) [2], [3]. In contrast, the primary use case of many contemporary POSIX-based systems is a service running on a machine in a data center, which have orders of magnitude lower latency requirements.

And yet the most pleasant development environment for producing the latter is going to be the former.
Well, Git still uses mutable state stored in files. You can't avoid it - the world is mutable. The question is how to expose and manage the mutations.

At any rate you might be interested in a few different projects:

1. BlueStore: https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2017/new-luminous-bluestore/

2. The DAT or IPFS protocols, which are based on the idea of immutable logs storing file data, identified by hashes, with public keys and signatures to handle mutability.
I’m so tired of this argument. Who cares if it’s the government, private business, or other citizens who do the censorship? The result is the same: censorship. Next you’re gonna tell me to go build my own university/social media platform/payment processor/ISP/etc. if I don’t like it.
Have you tried using kubernetes to manage your containers? Wondering if the extra level of complexity is worth it for a home server.
I'm often fascinated by the fact that, 80% of mentors failed at simplifying in their explanation of concepts.
The entrenched giant was Mozilla with Firefox. Chrome was distributed as malware included in various installers including Flash updates. And as scareware when using Google services.
> Or to be blocked from being able to say it out loud

Proponents of hate speech laws and their silent enablers would be one answer. Certainly not the only one.

> I think what you mean is that people are calling for internet platforms to kick out certain groups. This is in no way a call against freedom of speech.

You keep telling yourself self that. Especially when social values will change again as they always do and you will find your self shut off from society. You just keep telling yourself that’s not a loss of free speech.

> I am not sure why people suddenly believe that being for 'free speech' means that other people have to provide private infrastructure for those people to spread their speech.

I am not sure why people suddenly believe that being for ‘equality between the races' means that other people have to provide private shops for those black people to shop in - Someone with your thinking not that far away in the past

Tell me, should shop owners be allowed to ban the blacks from their shops? Or is it just the backers that have to make cakes for the gays? Or perhaps it’s the age old “one rule for thee and another for me”?

> Free Speech was never about requiring private citizens to provide a platform

Then why are there laws like ADA or title VII of the Civil Rights Act?
Give me a break. You can’t have it both ways. Just admit it, drop the pretence, be honest. Just say it out loud. You believe there are undesirable groups in society and those groups should not enjoy the same rights and opportunities as the rest.

And once you admit to your self that is what you actually believe, reflect for just one second and understand in whose philosophical company you find yourself in.
I had a Symbian phone back then. It had copy and paste. Nothing to brag about because it was such a normal feature.

Comparatively speaking, going back to how we deployed applications 10 years ago is the dark ages. Having everything in containers is objectively easier both from a getting started and ongoing maintenance standpoint.

Now: making minimal edits to a provided compose file for initial configuration, run command to spin up everything application needs, and you're done.

Then: install application package onto system (best: from developer package source/better: from old version in operating system repo/worst: by compiling from source after locating all dependencies and running make install), setting up any necessary databases or storage by hand, editing configuration files that are hopefully in /etc if the developer thinks the FHS is something to be honored, setting up init scripts/unit files so the application starts up in the environment it wants and when you want, and finally running the command which starts the application (which is probably distro specific).

And that's not even getting into updates. I'll take pulling the latest version of the container and restarting over app specific update instructions any day of the week. Life is too short for putting up with that kind of minutia.

Yes because there exist high-skill programmers who never wrote a bug in C.
Responsibility and blame are different things, chickadee. That you can't tell the difference is not my problem, so from here on out you're on your own. Maybe keep your lawyer fantasies in your head next time you try to have a discussion with adults.
This month is the 10th year anniversary of imagenet2012.

I don't think it is reasonable to make predictions of how well the technology will be in 10 years. I don't think any experts in the field would say Dall-e was viable ten years ago, let alone 20 years ago.
IASIP dived deep into Flanderization. Mac being gay, Dennis being a psychopath, Charlie being an idiot, etc. They have all gotten more pigeon holed as the show has gone along.
> I think you'll find a significant portion of the HN userbase supports the idea of the police arresting people for saying racist things on the internet.

I genuinely can't wrap my head around how someone could possibly think this is true.
I use Unraid, which manages storage for you and lets you run Docker containers for apps.
Same thing with mobile games, they’re constantly adapting to trends or doing seasonal updates. I feel like this is overlooked because “serious” gamers don’t care about mobile games, but one day people are going to be nostalgic for the Halloween 2014 update of candy crush.
>If a POW miner invested the resources to take over the network, breaking the network would certainly crash the price.

In practice, us government would pass a regulation that forces miners to register and to censor sanctioned addresses. Once they realize that miners they control own majority of hashrate, they can add a requirement to ignore chains with sanctioned addresses (from others miners).

There's no defense against this, because unlike PoS, you can't really move anywhere else. China has its own ban. Energy prices in europe are insane. Russia is sanctioned and just getting chips in is almost certainly a crime.

Under PoS as long as there's any subset of non-censoring validators a fork away from censorship is possible. Unlike mining, staking is extremely mobile globally.
Thank you for bringing this up. These examples prove the point at how rare, egregious and unfruitful all such efforts to create such a cabal have been. Notably solidifying the reality that no such cabal exists.

It is true that unethical people have tried to do illegal things in the past. Gen Lemnitzer was fired as JCS and nothing ever came of it. How about when a group of traitors tried to get Gen Smedley Butler to run a coup in the Business plot?

There are always going to be people trying to seek power. The ENTIRE REASON we are structured the way we are with civilian politicians and civilian head of the DoD who are there at the will of the people is to prevent such situations and so far we've done a good job at rooting them out.

All this proves is that we need the best most ethical people running the show and it actually is important that you, the citizen, is involved in putting the right people in charge. So are you doing everything you can for your country to make sure that the best people are in charge and most importantly the functions of the system continue to act as checks on the others? Are you doing that? Have you done public service in ANY capacity? If so great, keep it up and maybe think about what you could be doing to make your system more robust and reducing similar risks.
That's right! The current US system of higher ed is the best, albeit too woke, and needs more free speech. Nothing to be done, especially by corporations or wealthy people! Ordinary citizens need to keep paying for education on their own, if anyone wants education they should earn it, not expect someone else to pay! Learn the value of employment!
No, it's because it is much easier to find security vulnerabilities on iOS than on Android.
I'm curious what the wince is for - do Kannada-language films have a reputation?
You don't really need AWS for personal weekend type of projects or small startups but for large companies, they seem to be accelerating their dependence on AWS and its not a bad thing imho, it means a standard is emerging and companies are voting with their money.

kubernetes on the other hand....think will be replaced by fargate/ecs, I still struggle to know why startups with a dozen container services need kubernetes. Not having opinionated standard creates so much complexity with endless amount of configurations.
> You can’t have an open and intellectually gratifying discussion if you know there are things you cannot say.

False. There are always things you cannot say if you truly want to have an open and intellectually gratifying discussion.

Freedom of speech, legally and conceptually, has never meant freedom from the consequences of that speech.
1. "Freedom of speech" ≠ "First Amendment". The First Amendment provides for a minimum level of free speech, a healthy society will go above and beyond the minimum. In fact many of the Founders were conflicted about the Bill of Rights, exactly because they were afraid it would be interpreted as a maximum and not a minimum.

2. Modern tech monopolies actively collude with government. Just a few days ago we learned that Facebook had been holding regular meetings with White House officials to coordinate censorship. In exchange, the government passes laws and regulations that help the tech giants kept their monopolies and crush their competitors, and doesn't pass antitrust bills that would hurt them. So the public/private distinction is kind of dead
We had viruses doing it once, now we install that voluntarily?
Makes sense, since intelligence correlates with openness to experience in the Big 5 model of personality. People who are open to new experiences will naturally prefer that people are allowed to express themselves so the experiences can occur.

I agree with other commenters that the study seems low-quality, but the result aligns with my priors, for whatever that's worth.

The article starts out interesting but the author lacks courage.

> I knew there were limits to my desired independence, because, whether we like it or not, we all become like the people we surround ourselves with. So I surrounded myself with the people I wanted to be like. On Twitter I cultivated a reasonable, open-minded audience by posting reasonable, open-minded tweets

Every influencer sees their audience as reasonable & open-minded, every influencer thinks they only speak reasonable and open-minded thoughts. Meanwhile his pinned tweet is https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal/status/1545510413982474253, a smorgasbord of insight porn that's addressed to "his friends".

The article focuses on an extreme & obvious failure in weak authors and audiences; it's telling that he did not use his insight to dissect the relationship between he and his own audience.
Oh we're team public domain. But this repo is only an index and we don't control the upstream licensing. Check out gitenberg or unglue.it and reach out to @gluejar if you want to talk about free ebook metadata.
Containers are fine for this unless you reach the popularity where you are attracting dedicated attackers.

Use userns-remap. Run the docker daemon rootless if you want but don’t stress about it. Set up auth to the docker socket. Don’t bother with running the processes in the container as not uid 0, with remap it’s effort for little gain.

Now breaking containment means having a local privesc on your Linux distro or breaking the auth on the docker socket. Like that’s plenty for drive by attackers.
You might equally argue that murder should be legal, as banning it won't stop it happening.

Making something illegal rarely prevents it completely, but very often reduces it.
I can see how somebody with no military experience could think that, but one of the first things you notice in their indoctrination programs - the US military has an unmatched institutional memory. As a result of that, in aggregate, their programs are very formulaic - and deviation from that sticks out like a sore thumb. The most questionably legal activities involving the military (not sheep dipped CIA), is related to red cell probes... which is pretty tame compared to what some people (informed by 24 and Jason Borne) seem to believe.
What about Gabe Newell? He went from lead dev of Windows to creating Valve and Half-Life and Steam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabe_Newell

Or Tim Sweeney of Epic Games, who made the early shareware ZZT and Jazz Jackrabbit, then went on to create Unreal, the game and engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Sweeney_(game_developer) (hey, cool footnote... I was pretty pissed off when they changed their game Fortnite from an early cooperative PvE version to the PvP Battle Royale, emailed him and complained, and he personally replied with a thoughtful letter and then gave me a full refund... thank you, dude).

(And yes, of course Carmack, but someone mentioned him already)
I'm sure the settings page does - but because Samsung implements APIs a little differently, and this has caused devs issues in the past, I'm assuming the browser with a smaller dev team may have missed this quirk at first glance. Other Chrome-based browsers probably don't have this issue - Chrome's team is very well-funded, and forks likely benefit from Google doing the edge-case testing.

Maybe Firefox is doing something weird, but I've got a coworker with that same phone - so at the very least I can compare my Pixel to his Samsung, and see who threw standards out the window.
Random digression. In wake of recent demise of the Queen, good curious how much do British see the colonion past as glorious and how much as a dark legacy?
IMO UML died because it was too coupled to OOP (maps directly to objects/classes) and it is (like most visual languages) a more verbose version of the textual version (probably Java classes/interfaces).

Of course it is still useful to communicate an idea, but so is a diagram or an MVP (maybe with some formal guarantees from the type system or a TLA-like "proof")
Sadly "being utter drivel" is not on the flaggable rule list.
> Did people demand that typewriters and printers be beyond the reach of the badly opinionated?

the owner of the shop selling those items could refuse to sell them for any reason.

> Did people demand the Post Office refuse to mail their newsletters? Did people demand that they should be denied phone service

those are public utilities.

but it happens all the time.

people in jail can't send mail through the post office or make a call whenever they want.

there are limitations in place already.

nobody is denying the right to use the internet to anybody.

internet connection is the equivalent of a phone line or the post office.
I don't think that was the issue.

I think education was.

It's hard to discuss 'freedom' when people prefer the opinion of anyone besides experts.

I never ever saw meaningful discussions on covid were people were arguing certain papers and statistics.

So the state actually did what it should do: protect their people.

Yes we do need to discuss ALSO further Energie eaters.

The point here is that Bitcoin is new, doesn't add any value but in contrary is circumventing the existing and on purpose installed finance system.

Blocking Bitcoin now doesn't hurt anyone while ac etc. Might be harder to enforce.
This is like saying lynchings aren't oppression because it's not the government that did them.
On first read of the title I thought it was about TES: Oblivion, from which I thought I was sorta one of the weird collectors.

> Assume that I know _nothing_ about Tailwind, sell it to me. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Tailwind removes (or wilfully ignores) the "cascading" from css. It breaks all good, old css design patterns on purpose - in favor of "widget-level" styling.

It also effectivly builds its own (extendable) style language via named classes, ending up somewhere between "semantic" and "micro-styling" - but allowing for refactoring as needed. It reduces CSS to an implementation detail.

For example, in "Agile Web Development With Rails 7"[1], a number of form fields are initially styled as:

... class="block shadow rounded-md border border-green-400
outline-none px-3 py-2 mt-2 w-full "

Later reactored to:

... class="input-field" via tailwind:

.input-field { @apply

block shadow rounded-md
border border-green-400 outline-none
px-3 py-2 mt-2 w-full

}

On the surface similar to defining a css class - but effectively scoped to your own code.

In a small project, where you're publishing documents - tailwind might not be great - but in a large project, with many widgets it is a good fit.

Similar to how "movable code" (js on the client) might be a better fit than REST for web applications (as opposed to web pages).
