"The context doesn't change things at all."

Exactly. Always amazed at how people use reverse logic to excuse their unlawful behavior.

All successful social networking platforms use the cost of monitoring user content as their excuse for not monitoring unlawful content: they don't deal with the problem from start, then they pretend solving the problem with solutions that any sane person knows it will not scale, and finally they become big enough to be granted the excuse "that would cost too much".

A good analogy for this would be a car manufacturer, who is eventually asked to install airbags after putting 6 million vehicles on the road, and responds that it would ruin the company.

These businesses navigate with their seed money, ostensibly put monitoring costs aside, and everyone with vested interests applauds when the owner calls for the magic "auto-regulated community crowdsourced content reporting mechanism" (they all invoke this feature, for years, and it always works).

PornHub executives should be fined personally and in jail. There is absolutely zero chance that they didn't understand this cost was part of the business model and the responsibility on their shoulders. It is criminal negligence and they should be in jail.

As long as we don't put one executive in jail, every other executive will continue damaging people's lives individually because he knows that he doesn't risk anything.

I like the nietzschean spirit in the poem you posted.

I found the following after searching for "don't try" which is also quite nice:

"Somebody asked me: "What do you do? How do you write, create?" You don't, I told them. You don't try. That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks, you make a pet out of it."

I prefer Zig for a lot of things, but I use Rust for $WORK, and I'll toss something out:

GhostCell is an interesting venture away from that idea. For the sorts of loopy data structures that upset the compiler, GhostCell provides a small, well-vetted, probably correct unsafe core and a safe API for accessing it that greatly reduces the amount of unsafe one should need. The core mechanism is just a higher order phantom (ghost) type parameter that gives the compiler enough information to vet that the thing you're handling was acquired properly.

The community has generally been pretty gung-ho about getting the most safe bang for your unsafe buck, and the compiler has enough bells and whistles to make many such ideas pretty seamless.
> UK international relations

Yeah, no. Countries don't care about who is on the throne. They nod along to the British monarchy because they value diplomatic relations with Britain. Just like how they put up with Trump's children.

If you meant the Commonwealth of Nations, Charles was confirmed as the successor in CHOGM 2018. If you meant Commonwealth Realms, their close economic and military ties to Britain are not going to change anyways.

I get that this is an emotional loss to Britain. But let's not pretend there's going to be a material difference.

I thought the title was a reference to what every developer I know said about React after a few months of working on React when it first became popular:

"React is amazing but it won't live forever. It's hard to imagine what the framework that takes its throne will look like but it will probably look nothing like what we've seen before. Either way, React can't be the end. There will be a next framework."

So far that hasn't manifested. Vue arguably took some learnings from React but it feels more like a step back than a paradigm shift in some ways (not that that makes it bad, mind you). Remember that React took its throne from Angular and remember how Angular looked at the time. That's the kind of change we're looking for.

Most React developers I know know that React will go away eventually and that they'll switch to something else at that point. Mind you, they all didn't start out as React developers, so this isn't their first rodeo. But that new "genre defining" framework (as the article puts it) just doesn't exist yet, or if it does, it hasn't gained any real traction.

The problem the parent describes (reversing as string) has nothing to do with endianess (that would be trivial to overcome). It's not about the byte order in the architecture, wire protocol, or format -- but about how characters are defined and combined from substituent elements in Unicode itself (way beyond the byte order).

The passkeys are only synced across Apple devices, via iCloud keychain. Trying to sign in on another device (e.g. Windows laptop, Android phone) will require scanning a QR code. The devices then establish a secure channel using FIDO caBLE v2 (introduced by Google/Chrome, I believe) to perform the authentication. This ensures the passkeys never leave your Apple device, but can still be used on other devices.

I guess "recuperation" works but I think "remuneration" might be better. There was this kind of tension between Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak before the founding of Apple and tension with the Homebrew computer club. I don't know without reading the book, but it sounds like a study of how a hacking collective can resist the lure of making a lot of money with the results of their experiments and inventions. It might be possible if your formed a hacker collective of people who really hated capitalism.

In python, and many other languages, there are plenty of performance hacks you can apply that might make your code faster, but simultaneously less readable - often by stripping away levels of abstraction, or restructuring your code/data in unintuitive ways.

For example, the prime-counting example in the article could've been optimised slightly by inlining the is_prime function into the body of the count_primes function (thus removing the overhead of calling a function).

a proper marxist critique of Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" hypothesis:

Alienation Is Not ‘Bullshit’: An Empirical Critique of Graeber’s Theory of BS Jobs
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/09500170211015...

from the conclusion:

>This article highlights that alternative theories grounded in empirical research are required to understand the social suffering caused by the feelings of useless work that Graeber observes. Therefore, our third major contribution is to demonstrate the value of Marx’s writings on alienation. We take inspiration from Marx’s understanding of alienation to investigate whether the social relations of work can explain why millions of workers do not feel that their work is useful. In particular, we focus on the ways in which the development of workers’ human capacities may be fettered by social relations at work.

Do you know what a factorial is? 3 factorial is written as 3! and is defined as 3! = 3x2x1. So three factorial equals 6.

That’s easy. What about 100! Or 124! Obviously you could calculate that by multiplying all the numbers but that’s slow. A quicker way is to use Ramanujan’s formula which will give you an answer with much less calculation. The catch is that the answer may not be exactly correct, just a very good approximation. For many applications this is not an issue, and a faster calculation is more useful than a slightly more accurate answer.

In this case, recipe is data and programs can be generated from data. I case of data being equivalent to a program, why complicate things with inheritance or composition? Just repeat the data. We aren't maintainig the code, we are generating it, using it once and discarding it. If you want your data smaller, you just compress it.
> It's not really possible to compare the performance of webservers apples to apples.

I'd say that it's possible, just not always easy, due to how many different configurations there can be for any given workload - the same servers might be used to achieve the approximately same configuration in different ways.

However, if you took a common enough use case or workload, such as reverse proxy with SSL and gzip compression for $FOO resource types, serving files for $BAR application and proxying $BAZ API, then it should definitely be possible. You would just need some meaningful real-world test instead of a purely synthetic benchmark, otherwise you'll probably test something slightly different than what your server will be doing in practice.

The other option is just to settle on some bit of common enough functionality and try to increase your sample size as much as possible.

For example, some attempts have been made by OpenBenchmarking and at least give a vague idea of the performance of some servers:

Nginx: https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/nginx

Apache:https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/apache

I'm mentioning this because while not everybody has the time to reproduce a given setup in any number of technologies, even similar enough tests in a controlled environment can produce meaningful information, at least to let you infer what orders of magnitude you're working with. For something concerning programming languages themselves and their frameworks, one just needs to look at what TechEmpower is trying to do: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21

> Really, you need to do your own benchmarking to determine which solution is best for you. But keep in mind that the web server is rarely the bottleneck, usually your app and database IO are where it takes the most time.

This is well said, though.

In general, I'm inclined to agree: most of the time, the performance of most web servers can be described as "good enough".

The exception to this might be using your application servers (e.g. Tomcat) as a web server and running into situations where serving static assets (that might be baked into your application) would slow down because of API calls being slower and processing them digging into comparatively more conservative HTTP thread limits for the whole thing. Then again, personally I'd argue that you should have one of the popular web servers in front of your applications (and typically serving static assets) to act as an ingress in most cases, but I've seen some interesting things over the years.
While the example given is adding complexity to the data and trying to model that using the type system I think the point holds in may other cases.

Take betting as an example I work on. The basic idea is that if a bet wins you get paid your stake multiplied by the odds of the bet. If I open the codebase it should be trivial to find where that multiplication happens right? It's such a fundamental part of the code. But actually the edge cases (starting price bets, each-way betting, handicap betting with split line handicaps, multiple bets, dividend bets) mean it's very difficult to point to exactly where that happens. If I had to guess 90% of the code isn't needed at all in the majority of bets which are singles or straight accumulators.
I think the point of this case is far less about privacy and crypto, but the fact that the US government sanctioned an entire piece of software. People use the software for privacy, and the government sanctioned it because it was being used for illegal things, but the fact that they can unilaterally sanction a piece of software is scary. Imagine if they sanctioned Tor Browser or Signal, both of which are used for privacy and can be used for illegal activity.

Python has its flaws (package management and the GIL come to mind). But the language itself is just beautiful, and _designed_. It makes it so many common tasks expressible in compact, readable code. I’d be willing to jump through some hoops to use it on the front and back.
Battle.net communities and makers thrived for 15 years with zero moderation and a laissez-faire approach to peer to peer hosting. Entire game genres were invented (MOBA, TD). Imagine if Blizzard had cracked down in its infancy because of a few mostly satirical Nazi maps?

> This survey (which imo is not very robust) simply highlights the fact we are uninformed as a population. This is a failure primarily of our news media (the big 5) and education.

Media gets the most blame here I think. Fear gets views/clicks so they exaggerate and promote a victim mentality to the point where people believe there's a "war on Christmas". They also twist the meaning of words. It's easy for people to misunderstand how Americans feel about "immigrants" when that word is often used to mean both legal and illegal immigrants. I'd expect that distinction matters a lot when it comes to how people feel.

> we believe mass shootings are far more common and dangerous than they actually are. A child is ~100x more likely to die from a drug overdose than a mass shooting, and ~10x from a car crash.

I don't think anyone seriously thinks that sending their kid to school is more dangerous than a drug overdose or that school shootings are more common than car crashes. I think there's a greater outrage over kids killed in school shootings than in car accidents because cars have always been dangerous (and understandably so) so we accept those risks but there is no accepting that one risk of sending our children into a school is the possibility that a dozen or more will come out in body bags. It's an outrage every time.

Especially because children aren't supposed to have guns, and schools (who we have basically turned into full time babysitters for our nation's children) are supposed to protect them. It wouldn't matter if lightning strikes were a more common cause of death in children than school shootings, we'd still be more upset at the shootings since there's no expectation that thunderstorms producing lightning are safe, and very few of us feel that Zeus is supposed to be protecting their kids.
