My gut reaction is that it sounds like a terrible idea. Markdown is designed at the outset as a markup language, meant to imbue formatting and structure to human-readable text. But it lacks a formal grammar or a strictly defined mapping from syntax to parse tree, so different tools may interpret the same document differently (i.e. there are many Markdown “dialects”). Markdown has no inherent support for any kind of data types other than text; it has lists, but nothing that would obviously be “map” or key-value data structures.

Indeed, if you’re going to make use of Markdown to store structured data like a config file, I wager the result will start looking a lot like YAML. At which point - why not just use YAML directly?
What? Twitter was putting these little boxes below Trump's tweets as early as 2020, often referring to his "false and debunked claims" about a future election that hadn't happened yet. They later banned him from their service entirely.
There is none, "a potential hacker" will however go ahead and try to exploit the system.
No, more like 'at least another browser'.
My understanding is that its basically a decentralized crypto exchange.

I'm not sure what's to really get excited about. It does solve a problem which makes it miles better than most crypto things. Nonetheless its basically solving a problem that only exists due to crypto currency stuff in the first place. So it doesn't really get me excited about the promise of "web3".

Missing data imputation (2021)
I’ve worked with a number of colleagues who did this. I bought them all these chopsticks I found on AliExpress that we’ve since dubbed ChipSticks. They’re pretty similar to training chopsticks, except they slide over the top of your fingers. The result is chopsticks that are almost like extensions of your fingers rather than something you hold.
I was on the internet in the early days of Web 1.0

This is a work of pure genius and the most natural and hilarious modernisation of the concept. Bravo, take a bow.
Yes? That doesn't mean there's any necessity involved.

(Unless you are fond of teleological reasoning.)
You just can't have an article about k8s here without the debate being about its usefulness.

Nicely written article nonetheless.
I think this is a fantastic reply, and written with the good grace that the GP didn’t show you. Thanks for the insight, Will.
Am I the only adult that just never got around to getting an official diagnosis for the condition I'd obviously had since a child and thought was dealing with just fine by self medicating with caffeine and nicotine?

I read things like this and it seems so absurd. Is anyone really surprised by the diagnosis?

>Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult is complicated—equally heartbreaking and liberating. You literally need to rewrite your whole life narrative in light of this new realization. The process currently is super confusing and expensive (medications, therapy, coaching, tools, apps, etc.)

The only surprise for me was finding out what, what I assume, "normal" is like once I started on real stimulants. Turns out I was wrong. I wasn't dealing with it just fine all along. I'd been living on hard mode and never knew it.
It is odd that as late as April 1994 the info service was migrated to gopher instead of http. By that time, most of the colleges had their own websites up and running. Students themselves were rapidly authoring web content (my contribution on my college server was a choose your own adventure from my room, past my dusty empty pigeonhole, through town to my common room bar). It was already clear that the ease of contribution meant http was going to dominate going forward. I guess the gopher migration wasn't a quick project.
The Strap 3 is marketed for music listening, so I would imagine it would be workable? I've yet to try any of their stuff, though. The appeal seems to be around ease of use, and the targeted chest vibrations.

And the ButtKickers are purely mechanical, so no DSP. I would steer towards their Concert line as it's meant specifically for music, whereas the LFE has a stronger response from 20-30hz for home theater type applications.

I think their point is in the era of OKRs, they are more interesting in knowing if you have been coding up the next billion dollar app, or working on maintenance stuff to keep lights on. While the latter is equally important, its the former that brings in the next billions in profit.

You don't have to. If the program knows that the bus is 20 minutes away, it could wait 10 minutes or so before doing a refresh (assuming the bus doesn't magically gain a lot of speed in the meantime).
The tautology of this joke explanation within a joke about the joke is some kind of trick, and it can be used to explain anything now. “Why?”

That is very possibly true. And it would not be inconsistent with employees at WaPo second-guessing themselves when reporting on certain matters. Maybe not even a majority of employees. Maybe not consciously. But every time they have to put that disclaimer in an article, they're reminded that they better bloody not get something wrong.

There doesn't have to be any editorial edict. The unspoken obvious reality is that no Washington Post reporter is ever going to be as brazen and quick to print on an article about Bezos or Amazon as they are about Musk or Twitter or Tesla. That's bias. That's ownership affecting the product.
Good band and album. Evil Empire set me off on a rock tangent in my youth. As much as I hate their braindead commie politics try and not groove to "Vietnow".
So, not very different from subsequent Christian emperors, except they kept better control of their posterity.

The debauches sound wholly fabricated. I don't know why historians imagine they can pick out anything true. Even if an appointed official's name is corroborated somehow, there seems no reason to believe whatever was written about him or about why he was appointed.

We can be fairly sure Elagabalus was not well-liked by the literate class, and we can see what sort of activities they thought people would or ought not approve of.

We see similar behavior by historians on whether Jesus ever existed as a physical person. Almost all received documentary evidence is either obvious fabrication from often centuries later, or (e.g. in Pliny) acknowledged hearsay. The overwhelming majority of material represented as "early church", on any aspect, is clumsily forged.

The star exhibit supporting existence is a single paragraph in Josephus that every historian agrees was at least clumsily doctored by apologists. Many earnestly believe they can pick out bits of it not doctored, but the whole passage it appears in reads better with it omitted entirely. The most favorable judgment of it that can be supported is that nobody can prove none of it was in the original manuscript, and the "reconstructed" version reads a lot like Josephus.

There is no information to suggest why it would have been thought necessary to corrupt the original text, if it existed and read as "reconstructed". Statistically, the fraction of historians doubting existence is monotonically increasing, with no change in the evidence. That is actually progress.
Easy to make up, impossible to corroborate.

It tells us that Romans disapproved of messing with food almost as much as with religion.
> I don't know of a better solution. I'm all ears if you have one

No, that makes sense. I see you've added a modal that explains how to get it to work with FF. My bad, I think I used Unddit in the past which didn't say this. I'll use Reveddit instead.

Besides maybe a web extension that somehow bypasses those controls? (idk if that works).

Secretive removals happen on all of the platforms (see 5:50 in the talk [1]).

Plus, the groups who are brainwashed by it are large enough to have an impact in the real world. I don't think it benefits anyone. We're much better off knowing when conversations have been interrupted.

I use JetBrains products seriously and have been quite enjoying the new UI. Would you care to explain why everything is now fucked up according to "everyone"?
It’s not because that’s how all paper products are waterproofed.
In this case, what I wanted to say was that politics is deciding what to do next to get the best outcome given a set of constraints. In that context, "real world" to me means the clearest understanding of what the constraints are and what we should do to get the best outcome.

It isn't a question of manual vs. non-manual in my mind. areoform was picking out a list of people who typically aren't exposed to the actual constraints because they are in the top ~10-20% of the social hierarchy, and usually only specialise in one specific area as opposed to understanding the total situation. Someone who has immanent and structural problems putting food on the table or keeping employment will have a much better idea of where the urgent pain points in an economy are than, say, a dev at Stripe.

The people close to the happy tail end of the distribution for comfortable lifestyles aren't going to have a good understanding of the median or hard tail. Some do, most don't. People who live the risk of doing without food have a much better understanding of how bad the current food shortages are than I do, for example. Despite being quite interested in the crisis I have to really go out and look to figure out whether the situation is normal, a little bit worse or immanent threat of large numbers of people who had food last year running out.

Basically, in short, it is easier for someone average to figure out what the experience is for the average person. Which is one of the most important experiences for figuring out whether a policy is working or not. The median voter is quite well connected to the experience of the median voter, much better than people like me who have to use statistics and guess what their experience is.

Thankyou for drawing my attention to the fact that my language was excessively vague.

What exactly did the Twitter "Human Rights team" do? Was this some kind of content moderation team, or paper pushers who made stuff like slide decks and trainings on "UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights" that no one really cared about?
or that 25 Mbps is the zoom video call to someone's mom dying of cancer's last words. Who knows? The service is oversold and overcapacity, as some predicted. Still better than dial up tho.
It is comforting to know others feel this way, especially the opening paragraph. Adopting complexity to solve complexity blows my mind.

What’s ironic, too, is the complexity is so far abstract from the problem it’s solving (and the problems it then introduces) that troubleshooting becomes a nightmare.

In my experience, too; few pushing adoption/application of these technologies are system administrators, or even architects/designers - or are only so fresh out of uni (which i do not mean to suggest is bad..)

The accountability becomes really muddy, not even considering security boundaries and other multi-business-level disciplines these “solutions” impact.

I get it. There’s a place for these technologies. But almost every adoption I’ve experienced to date is more of a shiny-thing syndrome.

So; thanks for this comment.

Seems to me that all these arguments are rooted in the way computer memory is fundamentally implemented: Could it not be possible to re-architecture it so that it's more agreeable to arrays and lists, since that's how most data is used?

I often wonder about the separation of CPU and RAM, of ways it could be done better. How about making it like neurons, where each "memory cell" is also a teeny tiny computer itself? (How DO neurons do internal computation anyway?)
You don’t need aluminium to degrade. It’s completely safe as it is. It’s like complaining clay bricks aren’t biodegradable.
"Kennedy administration's internal memos say the same. Soviets were raising their life standards too fast."

You completely missed the point. By the 80s standards of living in the US and Western Europe were vastly better than inside the USSR but the USSR lied to its population. This is why a movie showing average middle class life inside Finland was so shocking to the average Russian.

as for Korean Air Lines Flight 007 the USSR initially LIED and said they didn't shoot the plane down. They later admitted the TRUTH that they did shoot down the plane, but they lied about the true nature of the plane. The USSR also lied about "no remains of the victims, the instruments or their components or the flight recorders have so far been discovered". This statement was subsequently shown to be untrue by Boris Yeltsin's release in 1993 of a November 1983 memo from KGB head Viktor Chebrikov and Defence Minister Dmitriy Ustinov to Yuri Andropov. This memo stated, "In the third decade of October this year the equipment in question (the recorder of in-flight parameters and the recorder of voice communications by the flight crew with ground air traffic surveillance stations and between themselves) was brought aboard a search vessel and forwarded to Moscow by air for decoding and translation at the Air Force Scientific Research Institute." The Soviet Government statement would further be contradicted by Soviet civilian divers who later recalled that they viewed the wreckage of the aircraft on the bottom of the sea for the first time on September 15, two weeks after the plane had been shot down.

Concealing information IS lying when it comes to situations like this.

"Even if you trust the Nazis, Soviets did not lie about the incident, they did not release any information."

Soviet leaders insisted for decades that the Polish officers found at Katyn had been killed by the invading Germans in 1941. This explanation was accepted without protest by successive Polish communist governments until the late 1980s, when the Soviet Union allowed a noncommunist coalition government to come to power in Poland. In March 1989 this government officially shifted the blame for the Katyn Massacre from the Germans to the Soviet secret police, the NKVD. In 1992 the Russian government released documents proving that the Soviet Politburo and the NKVD had been responsible for the massacre and cover-up and revealing that there may have been more than 20,000 victims. In 2000 a memorial was opened at the site of the killings in Katyn.

I would say that complexity is, to a degree, a metric of skill. To be more presice, a skilled coder, writer, painter can put together something that is incredibly complex, yet which also expresses great unity.

I see what you are saying about the merit of distillation. However, Of Rubens, I would say that he has an increadable economy to his brushwork. He suggests with a few marks, what other painters would painfully describe in longhand.
Also there’s no doubt in my mind they are bitter because China wanted to be the country to get away with an illegal invasion in the eyes of the western world, and Putin already cashed that chip. Now to do so would basically let China and Russia give the world a reason to cut them off together. Yeesh.
Although most of the articles focus on the benefits of Kubernetes for work, where you usually have more options (e.g. AWS Fargate), I've found it extremely helpful in the case where you want to self-host stuff personally/"at home", but you also want above average resilience so you use multiple nodes (e.g. 3 raspberry pi).

You can probably DIY something or always run all the things on all 3 nodes to achieve the same effect, but the first time I saw a node going down and Kubernetes automatically deployed the affected pods to a healthy node, it felt like having AWS on-prem.

Also, doing things in a standard way each time means it's really easy to bootstrap new things, not always reinventing the wheel. Especially cron jobs, I always lost track of those before. Now it's really easy to get an overview. Secrets as well, having it built-in just saves so much "how should I do this again".

Plus base OS upgrades are now really uneventful, since besides k3s (single-binary Kubernetes distribution), there's nothing else installed on the host.

The complexity is of course higher, you need a load balancer to point to all your cluster IPs since we don't get one "for free" from the cloud, shared storage is still something I'm looking into what's the best way to do (NAS with NFS, minio, ...), you most likely need a private registry, and probably others I'm missing.

Nonetheless, since migrating from manually run docker images, I find it a lot more comfortable and even with less downtime (taking down a single node is a non-event now versus "everything is down").
I'm also a JetBrains user of many years and several of their IDEs. I don't find Fleet (the VS Code clone, I think) really useful myself (and I have never liked VS Code or Atom or any of the other clones or Sublime-likes), but IntelliJ and Rider seem fine.
Sounds like literate programming.
I've used it once or twice for training material and as "fancy" slides at an internal presentation.

Worked quite well as one-offs but I'm not sure that scales wrt its usability and maintenance.
I bet you could ban an aspect of a stunt like this not related to flight, like advertising without a permit or something along those lines. Has anything like this been tested in court?
Ah, my thinking was that since the "rate of increase" is something changing, Nixon was taking about the next derivative being non-zero. :)

One more question I just thought of. When I use services like Reveddit I often notice [removed too quickly] where I'm guessing moderators get to it before the scraper can archive it.

What type of timeframe do you guys typically work with before it gets removed? Any ideas on how to improve the capture times?

Also are you looking for dev help with your project?

There is no way to carry out layoffs that people will see as being good. So what exactly does they lay-offs say about their new CEO? Except that he has a fever frenzied army of journalists chasing his every action and trying to draw it ups as ether the single most important thing in our generation or the start of our entire species downfall?

There was an acquisition and now there’s a trimming of fat. Is neither unexpected, unusual or in anyway outside the typical action you would expect of any competent ceo.
Yes the irony of r/conservatives one of the most ban happy reddits, where the posters all vehemently promote how pro freespeech they are.
That is the issue, all of this always comes down to cost and volume... and convenience.

Beeswax is perfectly acceptable but it costs more and I don't have the numbers but there is probably not enough bees in the world for all those starbucks cups.

The unpleasant truth that nobody wants to hear is that the only way to solve this is to ban all these disposables and use ceramic cups in the cafe or bring your own flask.

Everybody is an environmentalist until the environmental policy bothers their sense of convenience.
It's user-supplied commentary, so can't you just add that info you want it there?
I haven't tried the new UI (and no one forced me to!)... but I did try Fleet and it's a pleasure to use. It's still in development, so a few things are missing or just don't work... but overall it's a nice and lighter editor that I find extremely useful on my less powerful laptop where IntelliJ makes it hot. I've filled a few tickets and they are really fast responding and addressing it!

So, Jetbrains has been great for me over the last 10 years, both as a paying customer at work, and as a Community Edition user at home.
Yep, same here; as a (well paid) hobby, I help smaller companies lower their software bills. When they use 'cloud hosting' instead of a vps or something, that's usually the first point where I can cut 80%+. It is crazy how many things are running there that are not used or needed in almost every company I see.

Usually there are software issues (most commonly, no, not enough or plainly wrong db indexes being the #1 top scorer) which drive rds bills to scary height for no reason at all, but the low hanging fruit is unused cloud 'stuff'.
I chuckled. It felt a bit too positive for my taste too. Yes, those are all great things but the breadth of functionality from things like Electron apps is not because HTML/CSS and JS have grown and matured. A lot of that comes from packages that wrap C libraries. And those are easy to suck into the HTML/CSS and JS environment because of package management. None of those things are "the web", not even close. Ah well, its nice to see someone excited about it all I guess. And I enjoyed your parody too.
It is possible to simultaneously have unnecessary spending on infrastructure and then cut it in a way that makes whole thing unreliable.

Given large layoffs and general chaos, mistakes and bad cuts are much more likely. Especially when you git deadline and goal saving made by clueless executive.
