> when HTML is understood to be an SGML vocabulary and SGML has all these things and more

HTML hasn’t been SGML for a long time, and it’s never going to go back. Understanding it to be an SGML vocabulary would be a serious error. In the context of HTML, what SGML supports is even more irrelevant than it was twenty years ago (and it was pretty thoroughly irrelevant even then).
I think you probably heard a corruption of the truth through a game of telephone. Playing outside never gave children any protection from polio, but unsanitary living conditions for infants did.
give everything that is supposed to be js-only a class called js-only (or whatever) and then just do:

Only in capitalism can automation of work be a problem for the workers, as their work is not tied to their/the company's productivity, but to the market rate of wages, which is detached from productivity.
Lobbying is legalized bribery, and it's not just companies doing the lobbying/bribing, it's foreign countries doing it as well[1]. Also, lobbyists don't just influence policy, they also influence who gets elected in the first place[2]. The most common issue that lobbyist money is spent on has to do with the appropriating money from the federal budget[3], so in many cases it's likely that the money spent lobbying is used to redirect taxpayer funds to pay for more lobbying. In other words lobbying is so corrupt that it's easy for any citizen to see the corruption--yet people say, "Nah, it's fine because it's legal."

This is blatantly anti-democratic. It's a huge mess of conflicts of interest. It should not be legal.

FDM 7/10 when working 2/10 when trying to fix and debug firmware and retest etc…

Resin… fucking -1/10 because the entire experience is terrible if you aren’t going to use it often … I’m trying to sell all my resin stuff and try replacing it with a different printer I won’t hate if I use it only once a month.

Full disclosure I own 4 printers, a laser scanner and at any one time only one of which is always working and it’s the god damn miserable resin printer because I don’t use it enough to break it.
Figuring out how to reward simplicity, reliability, and maintainability feels like one of the most important unsolved social/human/economic issues in the software industry.

Seems there's only incentive to simplify at small companies where the employees feel they can save their own time or increase the value of their equity by delivering value to customers more efficiently. At large companies employees work 40-hour weeks regardless of their output and they're trying to impress a performance review committee, not customers.

When you're using a server side template all your queries happen on the server in one request. Most react/js apps I've seen need to do a bunch of requests to get that same data, one request for content, another for author profile, another for comments, etc. Maybe with non-rest-ish page specific endpoints.

I'd need a more specific example, but for user state I imagine it can be stored in json-web-tokens, or in the url, depending on if you mean like the current query or some kind of actual session data.
It continued all the way into the 2000s. A particularly stupid episode was the outcry around Mass Effect, which was thankfully short-lived due to Geoff Keighley's excellent response [1].

There is nothing inherent to the internet or the promises thereof that require the kinds of interactivity that have driven the tidal wave of front end scripting that has flooded the space. The overwhelming majority of it comes down to designers being cute for no obvious reason and business entities that aggressively abuse their client's browsers and bandwidth solely because cross-browser compatibility is notionally cheaper than maintaining software across several operating systems. The rest is monkey see monkey do.

Of course it is. It makes the rules that are implemented by the federations (stuff like 5 subs, the new loan regulations), and it also is the one providing the main funding for the majority of smaller football association (so even if it didn't have any de jure power over them, and it absolutely does, it would have still had de facto power with financing).

Yes, this covers one of the major pitfall disadvantages to using ORMs- the complex realities are hidden away behind ergonomic, easy to use abstractions. ORMs make it easy and intuitive to blunder along without actually fully understanding the actual macro effects of what you've created, and it is easy to end up with a resulting system where the query volume grows super-linearly with the size of the dataset. This then leads to nasty performance problems, but only later on when the system has grown up!

So as more data gets into the system, eventually the performance suddenly / abruptly degrades and falls off a cliff, and can be very expensive and challenging to address at the more advanced stage (data migrations in general are the bane of many a developer, with the above situation being one of the nastiest problem classes to deal with).

As a case study, consider Twitter in it's earlier days (a decade ago, circa 2010) - back when they were on Ruby-on-Rails and growing and scaling up like crazy.

There were outages just about every Friday. Not saying it's all due to RoR, but this was certainly a contributing factor, as the complexity was then forced to move to even more problematic areas (such as singular mega servers for large accounts like Bieber and Obama, which then introduced SPoFs).

As for the conclusion in this piece, that SQLite isn't susceptible to this issue, cool observation :).

No network == no network latency, only local disk latency. I think it could still be problematic if the underlying dataset grows large, but the Presenter is offering a valid strategy to kick the can down the road quite a ways

In the end it boils down to CAP theorem trade-offs. If the DB is local FS only, both availability and partition tolerance are both sacrificed.

Do you have proof of this call? He's refuted it in public.
While reading the article, I found that they are rediscovering the tricks, already well-known for ClickHouse:

> The biggest mistake I made was that I kept the UPDATEs in our code (we update the previous pageview with the duration, remove the bounce, etc.). In a few weeks, I'll be moving to 100% append-only by utilizing negative numbers.

> For example, if you want to set bounce_rate to 0%, you would write a 1 for bounce_rate on the first pageview and then insert a duplicate with -1 for bounce_rate. And for the duplicate row, you'd have nothing set for pageviews, visits and uniques, so it would all group nicely.

This is nearly a copy-paste from ClickHouse documentation.

> We shard on UUID, and then we set SiteId as the sort key. We do this because we want to utilize something called "local joins" in SingleStore. Long story short, events can be joined with event_properties (allowing you to have thousands of dynamic properties per event you track), and it's fast.

This statement is slightly disappointing as well. No magic, no advantage to ClickHouse.

The outcome can be read as follows: "use SingleStore exactly as you'd use ClickHouse and maybe it will work alright".

SingleStore advantages:

- good compatibility with MySQL dialect;

- offers good UPDATE/DELETE for fresh data (invalidated by this article, as they dropped the usage of UPDATE for better performance);

- good support for JOINs (invalidated by this article, as they ended up using local JOINs);

SingleStore disadvantages:

- not open-source, worse brand recognition, the old brand (MemSQL) did not work well too;

- performance claims don't validate;

- older company and many initial developers no longer work there;

Fathom sounds like a toy use case as the data amount is too low. ClickHouse is almost universally selected for similar and larger use cases, with hundreds of billions of events each day.

PS. Nevertheless, the post is hilarious:

That really is a great book, and very approachable! All the examples are practical, results derived clearly, and a nice build up.

Here's my question for you: queue theory is a nice tool, but most of the classic results are about systems (like M/M/c) that don't match the real world in important ways. Are there good rules of thumb for thinking about how different changes (e.g. burstier than Poisson, seasonality, constrained queue lengths, etc) map to these results?

Obviously, simulation is a powerful tool for more general systems, but being able to reason about effects quickly is super useful.

You say on a scale difficult to comprehend. But where's the scale that's deep enough to be incomprehensible? It's usually doubted anything sub cell-scale is responsible (like quantum microtubules of Penrose are almost universally derided) for consciousness.
$80 million in costs already outside of the purchase of terminals. Right there in your article.
Not having quite enough RAM is the exact scenario when swap on ZRAM is most useful. Assuming the data you have in RAM is compressible it lets you use a few extra gigabytes before hitting disk swap or OOM (depending on if you have a disk swap device configured in addition to ZRAM).

Zswap is somewhat similar and might also work well for you, it uses disk swap but with a compressed cache in RAM.
I do take my rather glib comment back, with apologies to the readers here, I know better than that. Indeed, the Hygiene Hypothesis is misused a lot, and which I was actively looking up post-comment.

Yes, how dare he suggest that a peaceful resolution involving some compromise of both sides of the conflict might be better for humanity to avoid it escalating into full world war with the inevitable nuclear apocalypse.

Certainly we can’t undermine those actions and goals—it would be simply terrible to avoid all that death and destruction.

I seem to recall someone I knew who relied on them for sinkholing malware. He'd basically reverse engineer the command and control, write his own version, report the domain (usually some gibberish like kfgrgerrkritptjfnfkdnfffkergb.com), buy it as soon as it went on the market, and then take over the botnet associated with it to disable the thing and report it to affected companies. Pretty sure his company doing this got bought out by looking glass. Looking that technique up it seems Kaspersky did some of this too at one point: https://www.kaspersky.com/about/press-releases/2012_how-kasp...

I'm not entirely sure how effective or relevant this kind of method is these days but I wouldn't be surprised if it was something you could still pull off now.

This is not what i took from her. Yes, the erasure of private life (i don't see how this is relevant in this case, but OK, i'll give you this point), but the rest isn't a primary factor. Also, like Popper, Arendt do not have the historical research we now have access to, which makes her theories incomplete at best (and they both are part of the reason historical research made leaps and bonds in the last 40 years, as they were non-marxists philosophers giving credit to critical work)

The myth of Fascism (that she called totalitarism, but in this case it's the same, the roots are bonapartism) is "Our group is the best, and everybody should aim to be like us (Poles, French, Dalmatians, but also anarchists if we're talking about USSR... Depends on the flavor). But we aren't at the place we deserve because those other groups infiltrated us and we have traitors working agaisnt us (historically Jews, but also anybody "weakening" your group, like trans and handicaped people in Nazi germany, or pacifists in 1914). We need to get rid of the traitors and we will be as strong as we deserve."

Yes, the society is becoming more fascist (or totalitarist if you want to use Arendt terms), but there is one reason to not be down: they are stupider than they were in 1920s. "Neofascists" are basic protofascists at best, with no real ideals, barely adopted the "great replacement" theory which is at best a rehashing of a 1900 theory. They did not read Nietszche but the Bible, and now seems to base their ideals in religion, which in my opinion, made them weaker.

Simulation, as kqr said. I like to use the classic queue theory results (e.g. results on M/M/1 and M/M/c) as unit tests for the simulators I build. I've found that application of queue theory very helpful in avoiding silly simulation bugs.
Op implied Elon's goal is soley to undermine the State Department. I'm arguing none of that matters if at the end of the day, he's providing a capability and service, that has and will continue to lose money for his company. $80 million is no small amount. We also don't know what he asked for behind doors, given the anti elon nature of things these days, what's to say they're not just trying to take advantage of the situation?
Shouldn't we see "cancelling" pretty quickly die out if that was the case? Essentially, you'd build up social capital and then spend it with a bang and it's gone. No more cancelling.

That's not what I see happening. Granted, I try not follow these things too closely, but I didn't get the impression that any social capital was spent -- quite the opposite. If you successfully cancel someone, you earn the points for bringing down a bad person, they were cancelled after all, which proves their guilt. And, like a war lord after a successful raid, you also gathered power, and you instill fear. Will one of your allies jump in front of you to protect someone they don't deem evil when they've just seen you destroy someone? I believe the likelihood decreases with each campaign.

It looks to me more like a authoritarian state forming: in the beginning, you still have an opposition that will resist and fight. But the more of them you throw in prison, drive into exile or simply murder, the weaker the resistance gets and the easier it becomes to attack those that remain.
