> would you still prioritize "your own country's ccTLD" over .com, when registering web presence for a company with no particular local presence in its home country?

1. Yes. It’s also a matter of marketing, of course, where the desire to have a .com might trump all other consideration.

2. If a company has no particular local presence in it’s home country, what would the concept of “home” country even mean?

The reason to prefer your own local ccTLD is to have an easier time dealing with any disputes or questions from your TLD registry. I.e. would the registry assume that they can simply contact you (and speak the local language) if anything should arise, then you will have an easier time dealing with that. If you were to be technically registered somewhere, but have no local people and no local presence, or even if your company merely seems to be of foreign origin, the TLD registry (and legal officials in general) might not deal with you very favorably.
History's worst software error weaponized a radiation machine
I've been learning a lot, fast, by trying to build out the same (very simple) full-stack web application in using different frameworks. Different backends, different frontends and different databases. Admittedly, I've been doing this for slightly more than one week. It's been a lot of fun, I must admit. It's interesting to see the different quality levels in documentation, availability of help on StackOverflow, and tooling.

I'm not approaching it with any real goal other than to see how some other frameworks work but it feels very worthwhile.
Just look into log4j: mdc/ndc to include context (user/session), include the thread name in your pattern and use an async appender to take care of performance. All of these things have been solved already.
as a whole, interest in it comes in waves, but it never seems to make it to the mainstream.

Many mainstream ideas are incubated in the fp world, and wind up in the mainstream. for exmaple: GC, closures, higher order functions. but not any of the "functional programming languages" themselves.

It's not only governments pouring cash in, but private equity too.

With all due respect, it seems ridiculous to me that fusion is a "meme technology" - aside from money, are all those many thousands of scientists really working on a technology they know can't work?
Except a lot of people agree with that sentiment. Just because something is a perfectly legal business model doesn't mean it's generally perceived as being ethical.
Sometimes now this is because of supply problems that make a single, consistent menu embarrassing to the business: nobody wants to have to say, "I'm sorry; we're out of salmon and eggplant, and we haven't had coconut milk for a week. Can I offer the three of you something else?" An electronic menu can be changed immediately and at practically no cost.

Curious as to what constitutes MS on lambda? Because whether you have a dozen lambda functions where each function translates to one function vs one function with multiple features, the outcome is exactly the same.

API Gateway also muddies the water, it no longer makes sense for each lambda function to maintain stuff like services endpoint like in Kubernetes.

In fact, if you take away containers, you can completely achieve orchestration without Kubernetes. Simply use Step Functions to coordinate lambda functions or even better, avoid it altogether and have one lambda function coordinate the orchestration procedurally.

My bet is that as time goes on and companies realize the overhead from kubernetes and "cloud independence mandate", they will drive more business towards AWS, in particular Fargate is rapidly progressing, as well as ECS Anywhere allows you to run hybrid setups with complete ease and without the headache from Kubernetes.

Just realizing these things as I learn kubernetes and I keep thinking "wait I can just X from AWS and this bypasses the need for kubernetes altgoether" but seems like companies are already knee deep.
FYI: with some super basic benchmarking that repeats an HTML snippet 1–100000 times and times how long setting innerHTML takes, I can report that in Firefox, it’s a little faster to omit </p>, a little faster to omit trailing slashes on void elements, quoting attributes is probably a bit faster, and that the XML parser is much slower (mostly 2–4×). In Chromium, parser performance is way noisier, and I mostly can’t easily see a difference by numbers (without plotting), though it’s probably faster to omit </p>. As for the effects of using the XML parser, my benchmark crashes the tab (SIGILL) in Chromium and I don’t care enough to figure out why.
I thought “World War II in Color” was a pretty nice series for getting a full understanding of the war across the world.
The point is that it’s the high per capita demand of only 5.5M people: ~83B kWH total.

The absolute amount of capacity that has to come online for self-sufficiency would be a sliver of the demand of a more populous nation.

I just discovered quick tab and now I can search open tabs easily but also history and bookmarks.

I wish some tabs could be opened in self destruct mode, like they close automatically after 15 minutes.
> Mostly it's because it's hard to agree upon a universal standard

This is one of the things I’ve appreciated in my corner of the Nodejs ecosystem. It’s fairly standardized around pino and bunyan. With async hooks you can instrument all downstream async APIs too and associate them with the incoming request. So, by default, in my services all logs are associated with their incoming requests.

That being said - I’m inclined to agree that, as the distributed tracing ecosystem becomes increasingly mature, it really is eating the use case of logs. The real trick with tracing is being able to associate a spike in latency for 5xx requests in metrics with all their associated traces. With logs I can aggregate all 5xx logs, filter by latency, and get the subset of logs for the high latency requests to dig in. In more mature stacks, I can even conditionally increase log sampling on-demand for those requests to get a better view into the problem (especially helpful for rare events that are unlikely to make it past the sampler).

I’m not good enough with traces yet to do this. Today I have to start with logs to find the request IDs to get to the traces.
How was I suppose to see the page saying web GPU isn’t enabled by default if the page itself wasn’t loading?

Seems back up now, might have been HN hug of death.
I learned that in SwiftUI if you don’t want a view to re-render when one of its properties changes, but you need it to have that property/state because it needs passing to children, you can just make it a regular variable without the @PropertyWrapper.

Seems pretty obvious in hindsight!!

Not that that changes anything; everybody who wants to register a .no domain simply hires a local proxy to “own” the domain for them. Most registrars offers this as a service, and as an end customer you don’t have to know anything about it.
"an ill-conceived concept,"

That's just an opinion, not an absolute fact. There's nothing fundamental about it. After all, over the last hundred years or more most countries have had DST so that's the opposite opinion - and for DST to be so widely adopted many millions thought it was a good idea.

I'm only stating facts. Frankly, I couldn't give damn whether we had DST or not and I can never understand why people get so hot and bothered over the issue.

If I were ever forced to choose a system then I'd choose neither standard time or DST. Instead I'd move all clocks forward an hour and leave them there permanently but I'd never lose any sleep over the matter.
If I had a dollar for every time something seemed obvious in retrospect....
I often use past tense because in my tribe (Kalenjin for those interested)- when you do historical commentary you don't interject with your current feelings. You say what you felt then (e.g while watching the documentary) unless you talking about how you feel now vs then. It's very contexual.

Rules in English can be confusing [1] ;)

> "unsafe forbidden" (GH tag)

Unrelated to this project, but I dislike the obsession of "unsafe" within the rust community.

Sometimes I need to dereference a raw pointer (rare!).

Sometimes I actually know what I'm doing (very rare!!).

Sometimes I rigorously tested my code (exceptionally rare!!!).

When I see people making PRs (to e.g. Actix) to change unsafe code to safe code in an API the user *never* sees, which results in a performance penalty, just for the sake of not using the word "unsafe" in the code, I get mad. I totally understood Nikolay's reaction back then. Random people opened PRs and flamed him without knowing anything about the internals and the consequences.

The unsafe keyword means that I know what I'm doing. Just trust me for once, please.

Edit: if you actually want to know what you're doing too, I recommend you writing some linked lists. I hate linked lists with passion, I think they are a bad data structure and you should use Vectors 90% of the time and VecDeque the other 10% of cases. But they help you to understand what you're spending your electricity on.
I didn't really know what it the WTC looked like, and by the time I had the TV on I just saw the second tower come down. I remember starting Simcity 3000 and placing the World Trade Center to see what is was supposed to look like.
1. I don't want root on prod servers, sounds like a nightmare!

2. Yes, I'm sure this was the case.

3. Indeed!

4. I haven't! My original comment just took some situation out of context. I know nothing about what else the sysadmins were doing, they probably had other things on their plate about which I knew nothing...
> What a lot of people don't seem to realise is that by trying to split up a system into more smaller pieces in an attempt to decrease complexity, it's often the case that you end up with even more complexity, just hidden in the interactions between the pieces.

I think that is a good observation that I also made and I want to add to that. Moving from a monolith to microservices, is moving the complexity from inside the monolithic system to the interactions between microservices. This means that the job of developers becomes easier since a developer only has to think in terms of the microservice he/she is developing and ensuring that that 'simple' system externally behaves according to spec. But it also means that the job of the architect becomes more difficult because he/she has to get a grasp on all communication (synchronously/asynchronously) between the different microservices.

So, even though there might be more complexity overall, I do believe that from the point of view of a developer, the complexity is lower.
The NIH article link you posted states:

Food insecurity was determined by response (always/usually/sometimes) to the question,“How often in the past 12 months would you say you were worried or stressed about having enough money to buy nutritious meals?”

I'm arguing about cost because food security in this survey is a cost issue. And, it's important to note that the article only covers 12 states. The Abstract ends with:

"These findings are consistent with previous research and highlight the importance of increasing access to affordable healthy foods for all adults."

My point is, we are instead increasing access for poor people to fast, unhealthy foods that cost more per calorie provided (Big Mac Meals) than healthy food (eggs).
France has their own issues as well, the greens manage to convince everybody renewables would take over and replace the existing grid, the public is waking up now but it's a bit late to save this winter.
> that's how business often works

It's how everything works.

Life gets a lot better once one accepts and deals with reality and stops getting wrapped around the axle about fairness.
Oh, wow. Now that you mention how it's similar to lossy (if not the same as) compression it all makes a LOT of sense. This is great. I teach IT and I already do a bit on how lossy compression works, (e.g. hey, if you see a blue pixel and then another slightly darker one next to it, what's the NEXT likely to be?) and this is something of an extension of that.
Notion (https://www.notion.so/) is a very popular paid tool for documentation and knowledge sharing. We have used Notion for documenting every process in a startup, and it worked really well.

Ukraine showed that renewable policies are non functional since everybody was using gas as a backup source...

The whole war itself is partially due to Germany's dependency to gas
I agree that overall, documentation is not a "career building" activity, but there are certainly some notable exceptions where the documentation is so good that people rave about it. A few that come to mind:

* The Bash manpage [1]
* FreeBSD docs, in general — the "base system" implementation and
documentation go hand-in-hand. If there's missing docs for a
built-in tool, that's treated as a bug.
* SQLite's documentation of the SQL language syntax [2]

Love your snippets storage, I should do that on a cloud-storage.
My family bought one of the very first lots in a new lake front property development way back in the 60s. After a very slow sale of these other lots in the development, the developer halved the size of the lots and opened them for mobile homes. The lots sold, the mobile homes moved in, and my family's property valued plummeted.

There were more than a few neighbors that fit the very stereotype you imagine, and they were the ones that lived there full time. Most of the direct neighbors were just weekenders (as were we).
Was there anything in particular that made this click for you? If you have any resources to share I'd love to see them.
I see, I imagine the server you put on is by default public and joinable by anyone. This kind of stuff typically has some form of whitelisting or password protection to keep the server semi-private.
It was for compatibility with classful networks. If you have a class A (/8) network, you could (in principle) treat it as a single network and number all the machines on it sequentially from 12.1 to 12.16777215.

Of course, nobody actually does that anymore. But the parser behavior is still out there because there's the possibility that someone is still using it...

True, but as long as I can either control the logging or write an adapter, I'm ok with that.

At the end of the day, I'd still have that issue, unless the standard lib was being used everywhere... which is something that is equally not controllable.
Some of that private investment has been sadly lacking in critical due diligence.

Look at Tri-Alpha. The people involved with that (Rostoker, Binderbauer and Monkhorst) were told 23 years ago that their colliding beam H-11B concept didn't work, for multiple reasons. Yet look at how much money they raised.

Rental cars, hotel room, and certain machinery/tools? Owning something has costs too, and if you are not interested in learning how to or paying someone else to maintain and secure something, then it can make sense to not buy it also.

I need a vibrating plate compactor once in 10 years, and Home Depot has a stream of customers who need it all the time. I could buy it and rent it to others when I am not using it, but I have other things I want to do with my time. Therefore, it is profitable for Home Depot to rent it to me, and for me to pay a slight premium to never have to worry about it outside the few hours I needed to use it.

Similarly, I have rented apartments in my 20s in places I had no intention of setting down, and buying would have been a waste of time and effort.
Well, part of that issue is coming from a requirement to sell electricity below production cost to "competitors"

It absolutely is abuse. Service degradation pushed through system updates which cannot be opted out of. Charging premiums over utilities that its consumers are already paying for. It is a predatory business model, nothing less.

I can think of three reasons why someone would opt into that, as opposed to "buying an unlocked computer system". The first being lacking the technical knowledge to understand that your machine is sold to you pre-compromised. The latter two being exclusive titles and the fact that your social circle may coax you into that platform, both of which throw "personal choice" out of the window.

This isn't just about video games either. My career field doesn't require me to use Gillette razors.

In any case, if there isn't a legal distinction between a monopoly that forms through incidence and one that was purposefully designed and planted into an already thriving market, there ought to be.
I would recommend just using SAM or Chalice for MS on AWS and layering on Step Functions/Fargate/ECS Anywhere for hybrid setups if you are not using Kubernetes. The only difference is that you are coupled to AWS but if you are already have been using AWS for everything else, its very natural and easy to just learn a new product and integrate it to your existing infra setup on AWS.

CDK is also another interesting tool in that you can create classes that handles existing series of scaffolding and automation and it feels naturally code like but drift detection still requires improvement vs Terraform's.

If you work for a large company where they have mandated Kubernetes then obviously its gonna be difficult but I am seeing a trend where companies are starting to "hedge" their bets as K8 projects take far longer to get to market and requires more experts to keep it going so I'm half heartedly learning Kubernetes, especially on the back of my mind the existing AWS solutions offer far quicker time to market and accomplishes the same thing.
Seems to be some kind of DRC.

$10K digital audio cables are never a good idea.

I remember I went to some audiophiles house once to demo some speakers, and his "hobby" seemed to have taken over the house and common sense. He had crazy expensive audio equipment and some of the thickest cables I have seen, with the cables all suspended on little bridges.

All this in a room which was basically a square brick construction with glass windows on 3 sides, no thought to any treatment. He didn't seem to understand that the room was effecting the sound more than any DAC, Amp, Cable, or any of the other voodoo that was going on. I couldn't properly demo the speakers because of a particular standing wave. I concluded he probably had a hearing problem, he concluded he needed to upgrade a cable.
1. The new gTLDs come and go, and sometimes even change ownership, AFAIK.

2. The rules can change somewhat arbitrarily. Or the rules might not change, but their enforcement might.

3. The registries have no incentive to treat their TLD management as a stewardship of a public good; they are in it for the money, and might de-prioritize technical development and/or support to arbitrarily low levels.

We’re talking about the URLs, not what you can type in the address bar to access them.
I think you're mixing up a few different causes and concepts.

Wristwatches are generally accurate and can generally be relied upon. It's not practical or reasonable to say they should be a "last ditch resort" simply because they do not handle legislative corner cases.

All clocks are approximations to some degree, because time and space are relative. This is true of all systems of measurement in science, in general.

It's not possible to have a computer perfectly account for all legislative corner cases for the same reason it's not possible to have a perfect map: Grey areas exist within law and geopolitics. Knowing the time requires knowing map boundaries and which authority controls a given area. For example: Does Ukraine observe DST? The Donbass region?

Furthermore there are practical costs associated with automatic clocks: A GPS, an updating map system and an updating database of time legislation is expensive to implement in terms of hardware, energy, etc.

These are not problems that no one's bothered to implement. They come at a cost which we aren't willing to shoulder, or in some cases are intractably complex social questions with simple pragmatic work-arounds (make the clock dumb and set it to whatever you wish)

In reality, close enough is often good enough. Perfection isn't necessary.

Headphones are excellent, but I find I have a different experience with headphones compared to music coming out of speakers. Sometimes I prefer one over the other.
I think it's much easier to cheat programmatically with an emulator.

For example, you could play a game in an emulator and record all input, and save at each new screen. Then if you die or get a bad RNG behavior, restore from the last save (discarding all input since the last save), and continue playing until you beat the screen.

Then, for the record, just replay the 'winning' branch through the CRT and record it.

MAME supports exactly this kind of input recording and playback: https://www.reddit.com/r/MAME/comments/6p0g9o/how_to_record_...
