I can't deny that Cloudflare seems to be one of the companies that have a more positive impact on the internet than others.

But I am still reserved about using Cloudflare because of my concerns about how much cloudflare centralizes the internet, Cloudflare's Webserver currently controls 20% of the internet(1), which is absolutely huge for a single entity.

I think if Cloudflares aim is to really to protect the internet, it should at least offer another option to just use DDOS protection without a reverse proxy, a way to protect websites without proxying everything Cloudflare with the huge amount of trust that requires, for the same price as the proxying service.

> They've somehow got their logistics COMPLETELY nailed.

In addition, you can generally get a useful human on the bloody phone at these companies!

The delivery priority is because their customers are losing real money until that shipment of parts to repair their production line comes in. If those parts don't come in when they're supposed to, the people who cut checks are gonna start yelling.

However, I tend to prefer MSC (https://www.mscdirect.com/) over McMaster if I can--especially for machine tooling.

It really feels like McMaster really relies on the fact that they can be a "one stop shop" so my experience has been that things tend to be slightly more expensive and with "servicable" quality and with "very good" delivery. However, with a bit of Internet-Fu, you can generally find a better version of the McMaster product at the same price point.
Shabbat (apart from meaning "rest") is also generally accepted as deriving from the Hebrew word for "seven", which is "sheva". And Shabbat is sometimes referred to in Hebrew as "yom shvi-i" ("seventh day").
To further complicate the issue, Jesus was born between 6 and 4BC, in any case. And in either winter or summer, depending on whether you happen to be Christian or Muslim.
Interesting! I remember playing DotA as a custom map on Warcraft 3, then being amazed to see the League of Legends and DotA2 communities grow so large. I had no idea that the battle royal games started in Minecraft. That's fun to know.
I haven't read the article, and I think the site is great. I've used it many times and it exemplifies what I think a great e-commerce site should be (from a customer perspective). They've built their website so you can find and order what you need with the bare minimum of effort. If I imagine trying to search for some of the things I order on McMaster, except on Amazon, let's just say I'm glad I don't have to.

Hello everyone! I'd like to share an MVP of an idea I've been working for the last 2 months. It's the first functional version of the product but I'd appreciate greatly if you could try it out and give feed back here.

Here is a brief introduction / user manual for the app.

Chart is a drag and drop canvas for fast prototyping backend architectures. Micro-service oriented architectures are always an afterthought and very costly to migrate to later. Chart enables companies to start with a service oriented approach from the very beginning by making it easy to design a backend visually on a collaborative canvas.

Instead of designing system architectures on a white board, users can drag and drop curated list of open source services or empty templates for custom services on a canvas. They can connect services to each other just by drawing a line between them and Chart automatically configures them with the necessary client libraries and API secrets. Once the design is done, users can set the whole backend live with a click of a button and Chart provisions the necessary cloud resources behind the scenes. Later on, users can load test the architecture with mock requests.
Wait until we explain the year 2038 problem:

"oh, that thing that runs computers right"

"and what base do you use the represent a date on you computers? 10, 12, 60?"
"2".

I'll spell it out more clearly for you, since you didn't seem to understand the implicit point: I sure hope a fellow like him understands supply and demand. I assume he does. But I think that understanding takes second seat to trying to convince people that greedy companies, not incompetent governments, are to blame for inflation. And he writes that (putting aside whether he also thinks it's true) in order to advanced a political agenda. That's why it's in a US politics op-ed section of a left-wing newspaper.
All of Christianity puts Sunday as the first day, as does the calendar of Judaism.

Saturday as the Jewish Sabbath, Sunday as the ‘the Lord’s day” in Christianity.

Matthew 28:1

The Resurrection

[1] Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
If you don't know why the fence was there, how do you know that it's not still useful for that original purpose, outside of you playing soccer.

The point is to never tear down fences, because you can never quite know why it was put up. You can know that a fence isn't useful to what you want to do, but Chesterton's fence just doesn't apply
Yeah, it's much better with POP3, when one client downloads everything it deletes it from the server /s

This isn't IMAP limitation, this is how clients implemented it. Nothing stops one to download every message over IMAP and never delete them.

That's what people said about many places, like the Soviet Union and many others. People always believe all structures are eternal but a look at history shows that this mostly isn't the case.

> either outright or by arming minorities and the populace to wage an internal civil war

That's a great way to get those people mass murdered and make the situation worse for everybody.

And of course after this large scale mass slaughter of people I'm sure a democracy will just jump up and solve all problems.

Thank the lord.

This is not what the grandparent meant, and also not what anyone sane means when discussing establishing off world colonies. They are talking about an insurance policy if we happen to get hit by an asteroid, or world war III breaks out, or a devastating pandemic, or any number of other civilization (or life) ending events.

No one wants the bad thing to happen, but instead they are saying "wouldn't it be smart to have redundancy". They're also not saying "ignore trying to save the environment because we have mars". It is very likely any effort to make mars into a habitable planet would dwarf fixing problems here on earth.

They're also not suggesting spending a significant amount of our resources on Mars, to the detriment of life here on earth.
>On the other hand, Amazon delays orders on purposes if you aren't a Prime member.

I'm not so sure about this. I'm not a prime member and I frequently get orders delivered before the estimated delivery date. On the other hand I also see instances where amazon takes suspiciously long to ship something. A charitable explanation might be that their logistics capacity (eg. planes or vans) is limited, so if you're not a prime member you get deprioritized.

This is very interesting.

What are some independent companies specialising in producing and selling environment and climate-related data, either to other industry players or governments?
> Each person who holds an opinion about climate change and policy possibilities around it has their own reasons and positions.

I agree, but that’s my point! If the people who support addressing climate change really believed it is an existential issue, that wouldn’t be the case. They wouldn’t be treating it as one bullet point on an overall agenda.
They don't delay the shipping, they stick the entire order at a chosen point in their queue.

If you split the fulfillment off from the retailing, the fulfillment will still have a queue.

Should the government mandate first in first out or something, no ability to pay for priority?
Another one is Stephen King's On Writing.
You mean homesteading? Or RV'ing? Yes. That's being done now.

However, it's safe to presume some don't want to be completely isolated. There's the safety aspect. There's also, as you noted, the social aspect.

Truly ubiquitous internet is not what we have now. And because of that fact we can't presume the future will simply be more of the past.
At the same time it's not unreasonable to require roughly the same amount of time from the reader, as in the same amount of effort is needed to grasp the concepts written.

Language is very malleable, and to counteract this it's imperative to use structured writing, detail the model of the concept being communicated, then give ample examples and counter-examples to clarify the model and thus the concept itself.

It's crazy to expect that a well-written sentence will be read just as well without the same context that the drafter(s) had. Yet we are very allergic to giving examples, because that would introduce [more pages to complain about politicians voting on them not reading] aaaaaand more somehow ambiguity. (Oh right, we're talking about this because otherwise statutes and their clarity and interpretations are so unambiguous!)
> - Per my knowledge US is the only country which stubbornly (and illogically) considers Sunday to be the first day of the week;

There's one other country in particular that firmly designates Saturday as the seventh day of the week: Israel. (Canada, Japan and Brazil also use Sunday as the first day of the week.)

I'm not religious, but I was raised Seventh-day Adventist, which worships on the seventh day, which for the past couple millennia has been Saturday. There is no end to conspiracy theories in the church about the seventh day of the week being designated as Sunday and how this (and particularly the compulsion to worship on Sunday instead of Saturday) is a sign of the end times.
Consentual sex is not hedonism.

I don't know how to explain to you that the meaning of life isn't to make babies, and that it's morally wrong to optimize society for making babies by treating women as chattel, banning birth control, censoring art work, screaming all day about birth control being poison, or whatever it is you think you are fighting for.
It's _not_ very backwards compatible, though; in particular, different countries transitioned from Julian to Gregorian at different times, so things get _extremely_ messy if you go back more than about a century.

I'm not sure what you expect to accomplish by using obscure and invented health industry terminology absent from medical science and citing this kind of evidence with a three hour long podcast that I'm simply not going to entertain.

Regardless, you have constructed a new straw man argument. My point was far less complicated, which is that expensive and complex technological devices as sport accessories distract from the natural incentive of improving fitness and are unnecessary and functionally duplicated with an inexpensive stopwatch. The natural incentive for improved health is traded for the incentive for being entertained by absurdly detailed metrics without advantage to the fundamental goal of improving fitness.

Unnecessary reliance on accessories will synthetically make it more difficult to do the same activity if the accessories are removed, for whatever the reason they happen to not be available, stolen, lost, broken, whatever. Exercise is its own reward, and there is little reason to replace that incentive with the need to be entertained by detailed metrics of past events.

> Your statements are bizarre and arrogant. It feels like debating with an edgy teenager.

Without a lot of difficulty I was able to find the actual mirror site[0] but it consists only of a long list of torrent files with uniform names. How would one find a given book in all that? Well, per the FAQ, "You can search the SQL file in the first torrent after loading it into a MySQL database. Keep in mind that our goal here is not to make it easy to access the data, but to make the long-term preservation easy."

[0] oh no, that would spoil the fun
Unpopular opinion with some truth in it. Many of the SWEs and other product people in these companies left at the peak of pandemic due to burnout, but mostly due to cheap money. Many senior leaders cashed out their stock and went into the sunset.

Companies responded with mass hiring as money was everywhere. They grossly underestimated the complexity of running an engineering org and now the bill is due. I think until the old guards come back, we will see the pain exacerbate.

PS: It's an opinion
RS, on the other hand, are so-so. The new JavaScript stuff looks shinier but still they don't surface out-of-stock status in the search which is infuriating when do many things are on long lead times.
I would like to think that something like this would by buoyed to the top on most news sites/aggregators but the fact of the matter is that regardless of how much news you read, there's always things going on that you will miss.
I'd say that people coming together for something isn't necessarily good. If they come together for something wrong it is worse than everyone just minding their own businesses.
I don't think most piracy is early Mickey Mouse cartoons; if the argument for piracy based on copyright length was sincere, I'd expect to see almost exclusively older works pirated, but that's not what's most popular on the torrents.
Also, the website has basically been unchanged for the ~20 years I've been ordering from there.
Afaik not actually possible in practice. Browsers these days will a) remember valid certs for a domain b) remember that a domain is HTTPS (no downgrades) c) sniff certificates based on crowdsourcing.
> US media is not controlled by the US government

This might be true, but specially about countries that don't have a media presence the main source of news about that country is white house press releases. The same goes for news about civil wars and such.

The way Syria war was reported, outside of a few good journalists who did amazing reports, was basically just standard US government play book.

The reality is journalist are lazy, and its easy to just pick up the narrative pushed by the US government and the associated standard think thanks.
>Google

Something I noticed once is that in AdWords geo-targeting, Iran is missing. Does that mean Google search is totally not available in Iran? Alternatively, if google search is available, are there any ads displayed?

I love McMaster, but also want to give a shout out to their competitor, grainger.

Similarly excellent UI. One benefit that I take advantage of is free delivery to their local warehouse for in person pickup.

I don't know why more companies don't serve the customer with this.
Sounds like clippy. No thanks. Maybe something that was available when you wanted it, but that's not it..
MechE here as well. An alternative to McMaster is Misumi. Misumi is nice because you can order parts that are made to order (imagine a rod with the specific thread and length). No next day shipping like McMaster but being able to buy a custom “off the shelf” part without making a special internal part number is huge (so you don’t need drawings or anything). They’ll ship you a couple books like the signature yellow book from McMaster. They’ll even host a seminar explaining why “good engineers design, great engineers integrate” (really only true for the industry and not consumer tech).

Thank you. I have requested the "expedited" review from Apple too. But I think the "expedited" review process is slower than their regular review process...
The people - the intersection of finance and tech attracts some of the most spectacular international-level pro scumbags I've had the misfortune to meet. Then there's about 5% of everyone in the entire space that understands the technology, the rest are just bullshit peddlers along for the ride who can smell a quick buck and an industry ripe for abuse because so few understand what it actually is.

I met the guy in 2005 and he was deeply sad about that. After "the mother of all demos", showing internet, mouse, windows, videocalls, etc for the first time. They said to him you'll get all that budget to come up with so little. They cut his budget. It was only in the nineties that he got proper recognition.
1. Going through it properly. It helps to be aware on where you are in your stages of grief and really taking your time and not rushing. There will be times you'll relapse but it still helps to be aware that you actually have relapsed.

2. Putting things in perspective. This may be in form of getting your priorities checked, identifying the right steps forward, and taking your babysteps in that path even if it sucks, even if you feel like shit, even if at times you can't do much, even if it feels like a plateau you can't get out of.

3. Being around people who are willing to listen to you. The right ones are the ones that are willing to listen to you but won't give you any unsolicited advice. It's tough to make life decisions too when you're emotional, sometimes you have to give it time to really digest where the fuck you are and where you're heading at. These may be your family, friends, acquaintances, even strangers. Express what you're going through, communicate it, tell the story about it, cry and laugh about it, embrace it.

4. Get some hookers and cocaine. Just kidding, feel free to let yourself unwind a bit BUT make sure you don't too far in a downward spiral of shitty life choices in making yourself feeling a little good. This includes eating shit food, not being physically active, not socializing, and even being dependent on drugs or whatever form of crutches. Please don't make those mistakes.
I have yet to see a postmortem that includes things like "there are insufficient checks on how a team grows metrics".
The concept of a weekend is a recent development that I don’t think really corresponds to what the first day of the week is (which was conceived of as Sunday for thousands of years before the weekend was invented).

When the weekend was invented, Sunday as the sabbath was still a real thing for many people. I have to wonder if originally only Saturday was conceived as the weekend, followed by the week start and sabbath of Sunday. Then, as Sunday became secularized, the weekend was extended to include Sunday.
I'm running Pro but I've seen plenty of people with Home/Core machines using the default Mail app, no idea why since it's so much worse than the webmail option
The Bible does not say that Sunday is the 7th day. It says that Saturday, the Sabbath, is the 7th day. And that Jesus rose on the day after the Sabbath, which means it was on the first day of the week. And that's the day most Chistians have adopted as their day of worship. (Except Seventh Day Adventists who keep it, as their name suggests, on the 7th day: Saturday.)

If your church preaches differently, they should read their Bible more carefully.

On a side note, it's not 100% clear (to me, at least) that the word for Monday (ponedelnik) means "per week" or anything about the week per se.

In Russian the word for week is "nedelya", so "ponedelnik" does seem to naturally tie into that. But the word for Sunday in Russian is "voskresenie" (literally means resurrection). Notice this! Every religious word used in non-religious context is suspicious!

If we examine Bulgarian, the week is called "sedmica" (sedm == seven). And Sunday is called "nedelya" (I perceive it as "ne delya" === "no work").

Thus, in Bulgarian the word ponedelnik becomes like "the day after Sunday", rather than "the day starting every week".

Now going back to the Sunday resurrection theme, it's obviously of religious origins, so I dare assume that it may have replaced something that was already there (like nedelya). And then I imagine the people still wanted to keep the word around, so they started using it to mean "week" instead of "Sunday".

If so, then it would make sense that ponedelnik just means "post Sunday".

[The above is just a pet theory I haven't spent any time on, so I'm not guaranteeing its legitimacy]
When I moved out of my parents place years ago, I never bought a printer. I printed stuff at work from time to time as needed, and over time, the need for printed paperwork diminished. The last major thing I use printers for is immigration paperwork.

It's pretty good. On at least two occasions I've had to look in multiple categories for stuff that I wanted.

Sometimes they sell a bolt, but sometimes they don't carry the companion nut (when dealing with specific stuff like alloy or specialty breakaway nuts, etc).
It does not matter how we got here. Who's fault it was, or wasn't. It does not matter if the inflation is driven by supply or demand.

The Fed has a job to do, by law. It has the dual mandate of keeping inflation low, and also unemployment law. Now inflation is higher than it was in 3 decades, and unemployment is record low. They are good by one measure (unemployment), but incredibly bad by another one.

Their job is to take inflation down. At some point the two mandates will pull in opposite directions, but right now the inflation is high, and unemployment low. Sure, fighting inflation will increase a bit the unemployment, but few things come for free in life.
