If you're interested in reading something similar, your description reminds me of The Black Cloud by the astrophysicist Fred Hoyle. I have to say I found the writing quite clumsy, but owing to him being an astrophysicist himself there was quite a lot of attention to detail in making the plot scientifically realistic (within certain bounds).

I’m sorry your municipality’s finances are poorly managed, but that’s not an argument for giving cyclists a free ride when it comes to paying for what they use. Both drivers and cyclists should pay for their usage. I don’t think my original comment implied they should be treated differently.

So... Twitter will break because people are getting Prometheus alerts? They don't really explain what the problem is, which is a shame because it's probably a pretty interesting scoop. I'd be very much interested in hearing about Twitter's issues at-scale rather than the collective hand-wringing over our beloved birdsite.
Fun read! I rwally liked the prediction that columnar & compressed storage wi takenoff, make sampled traces less relevant.

My medium term prediction/hope is that eventually we start using traces not just for observabulity, but as the beating heart of a event-sourced system, with spans being thr primary events flowing through.

Participants performed at chance (mean 49.8% correct, SD = 4.56%)

Yeah you're right. The greatest danger to pedestrians in North America is all those millions of "projectile cyclists" flattening them. That's what the statistics show. Today alone, about 21 people walking in the United States will be killed by motor vehicles. But we should focus on the approximately 8 pedestrians killed per year in collisions with bicycles.

I'm reading the 'just' in (most of) these examples a bit differently: the person making the suggestions is using the word to acknowledge that the suggested approach is probably a lot simpler than what the struggler was considering, but perhaps good enough (to get started).

If however it turns out the suggestion is not significantly simpler than what was being considered (perhaps because what's being suggested is not as easy as it appears to the one making the suggestion), I can see how that can come across as condescending.
I think that “should” is working really hard there.

We only have to look at the other crypto firms that have gone bust to know this space is rife with problems in that area - lies about FDIC protection, cryptocurrency and tokens considered part of company assets and subject to creditor claims, rather than customer deposits etc.

I wouldn’t like to rely on that “should”.
> My beef is that cyclists increase traffic congestion but don’t pay taxes to fund the infrastructure they’re using.

Okay, let's play the measuring game.

I have paid over $200,000 in income taxes this year so far, as well as another massive heap in property taxes. I also own two cars on which I pay various taxes.

What's you income and property tax bill to date?

Regarding gas specifically:

1. There are zero states where gas taxes pay for all road construction and maintenance. Zero. None.

2. More importantly, motorists generally have no sense of how much their gas is subsidized. For example, a huge portion of that $200K of income taxes goes towards our military, who spend a lot of money to kill people and/or maintain the threat of killing people. That violence and/or threat of violence is absolutely necessary for you to maintain your petroleum-dependent lifestyle. (Of course, my taxes are trivial compared to other costs, such as those to the victims of the violence necessary to maintain US energy needs.) And that's before other issues like the environment and climate change (separately), the SPR, etc. etc.
Bassist here. Oddly enough most speakers made for bass use have diminishing response below roughly 80 to 40 Hz. Mine included. There is a tradeoff between low end response and other aspects of tone quality -- depending on your preferencea of course.
Awesome. It's one of my pet peeves to see "just" or "simply" and similar words in documentation.

It makes the documentation clearer and less condescending to remove words that imply a task is easy. Implying a task is easy doesn't help people to perform the task.

It's especially frustrating when the documentation is incomplete, as most documentation is. For example, "If you need different behavior, just implement a custom component" ... and the custom component documentation is incomplete or missing. sigh
"Enable content security policy" is something done by the web server (via a header in the response), so that doesn't solve the problem.

In theory yes, you could probably create an extension that leverages Content Security Policy as a means of enforcing binary transparency. But at that point you'd basically just be implementing a slightly worse version of web packaging via an extension.
In my world, "just" is a four-letter word.

I recently added a similar feature to the absolutely terrible code I've hacked together for controlling my smart lights[0]. I used python's astral package to get the highest and lowest sun elevations for the day, then define the lights' warmth at both, and at elevation == 0. Every 15 min a cron job sets the lights' warmth accordingly.

This is for a room with very little natural light, where the lights are on most of the day. Having them respond to the position of the sun lets me still feel the rhythm of the day outside.

I guess that's mostly a testament to the effectiveness of caching. My guess is that 95% (maybe more?) of all the traffic on SO is read-only. A caching-layer like Varnish/Nginx would be performant in front of any backend. We used to have a similar amount of traffic with PHP in the backend and it was just fine.

Fully agree with the rest of the post, though. Keep it simple.
Thanks for the positive feedback!

As a consultant or contractor or whatever (client doesn’t know the difference), I need to find a happy medium somewhere between “how can I personally reconfigure the business for you” and “I’m a mindless pair of hands that codes”.

I can’t go so far as to change how the warehouse operates.

But it wouldn’t hurt to answer my questions about how the warehouse operates and ask me to come up with solutions in line with that, rather than “just make it landscape and stop wasting time with questions”.
I don't think it's just about damage and maintenance. Before roads are maintained they must be built. Why should the amortized cost of building not be distributed across all beneficiaries?

This looks familiar... I was born in the 80s in the Soviet Union. Don't remember much of the 80s, but I remember the 90s well. Going to a village or smaller town to visit friends/relatives looked exactly like that video. It was very simple: there were water wells, we would fetch some water for cooking/cleaning/taking a bath and then there were outhouses. The sewage in outhouses was never treated. You would just put some sawdust on it and that was it. I do not think much has changed. Russian urbanization is around 75%, some regions much less than that. So I still do not think that it was wrong for "labster" to state that 'many citizens of the “republics” have never seen indoor plumbing'.
That is not what I am saying. At all.

> Arguing over the "spirit" of punk in 2022 is a full decade more absurd than arguing over the spirit of the Andrews Sisters would have been in 1977.

Or the "spirit" of jazz in 1977 or the blues at more or less any point in the 20th century. I'm not sure the relative absurdity of arguing that musical genres have "spirit" or an ethos, or any sort of basic continuity is measured in years since first release...

And I don't think kids picking up guitars and tuning them to drop D to play one finger chords really fast are that much more influenced by '77 nostalgia or the barre chords in the little-remembered fanzine than music theory videos. But the basic approach changes a lot less than the ad hoc theory applied to it, or indeed the music.
If you discretize the string into a bunch of tiny masses, linked together by a bunch of tiny springs, you can build a mass Matrix (diagonal) M and a Stiffness matrix K (element ij = stiffness of spring that links mass I and mass j).

I can't remember the next part exactly, you can look it up in a textbook, but you multiply the matrices KMK, or similar, and the eigenvalues of this are the natural frequencies of the string. The eigenvectors represent the mode shapes, ie the displacement of each mass element.

The same technique is used in Finite Element Analysis to find the modes and modeshapes of complex structures (a car frame, a bridge, etc)

Rust and C++ are low level languages, making low level detail leak into its module contracts. This will make refactors/faster code changes slower. Depending on the application niche, this tradeoff is not worth it, e.g. I wouldn’t write a CRUD app in Rust/C++ —- Java (and C#, and the litany of other managed languages) implementations will be much more maintainable and fast to create.

This is automatic memory management’s greatest “gift”.

I do think, the term eigenvalue is rather opaque, and should be replaced by a more plain-english terminology that readily conveys its meaning.
Think of a fun house mirror that for the sake of this example make you look twice as tall but 20% skinnier. This can be modeled by a two-by-two matrix with eigenvalues of 2 and 0.8. (Indeed, it will have them on the diagonals which makes it easier to study.)
Hi! There are tools which already supports gRPC or they are specific-gRPC tools.
I'm working with gRPC every day for 3+ years and unfortunately each of them are not suitable for most of cases. Some of them are unsupported at this moment (I mean the standard of gRPC tooling - BloomRPC), some of them have a lot of bugs or have problems with specific cases, or they have really bad UI.

If we talk about Insomnia:

1. You can’t open the stream and wait for client or server interaction. For example you can’t in bidirectional streaming send three messages from client, then wait for server response and send next one message.

2. You can’t stop streams, only cancel or wait when they will be ended by the server. When you cancel your stream - it's means error from client-side.

3. You can’t setup custom TLS certificates

4. You can’t work with Server-Side and Mutual TLS

5. You can't override SSL target name which sometimes helps to test requests

6. You can’t work with gRPC-Web

7. From my vision Insomnia doesn't have good UI/UX (only my vision, I'm not pretending to the truth)

By the way, gRPC is only starting point for ezy. Ofcourse firstly I will implement all features in this area, then I will bring in ezy my vision on how to work in product teams in next-gen way.
Very curious about Musks strategy to both cut 1 billion dollars in infrastructure costs and launch long form video and text since the article says that half the infrastructure is for storing data. I hope they end up doing some blog post retrospectives, because it seems there will be a lot to learn from them on storage efficiencies.

Congrats, I use Rome, it works well and is quite fast. That it's written in Rust is a plus to me (not to cj too hard with the RESF) but I like fast tools and don't believe that the tool should be written in the language it targets, much as Python's data science libraries like numpy aren't themselves written in Python.

I do have one question though, I had been reading this thread on Reddit when Turbopack was announced, that Rome was "run by terrible people." Now I'm not one to take Reddit at face value, but I am interested to hear about what you could clarify regarding the examples they furnished [0].

Thank you for your perspective.

Maybe I was confused about the case of using an executable vs linking against a library. Let me double-check with a few friends who understand copyright laws better than me. If everything checks out, the next release will be under LGPL.

About CLA: at the previous suggestion of a friend, the repo was locked with CLA requirement currently (even though nobody outside contributed yet). This will be lifted once the situation becomes clearer.

I am not claiming that it's easy, but there has been plenty of open-source projects launched with E2E encryption by default in the past few years.

I agree that overall the word choice is poor/ambiguous.

But I think grammatically "undetectable" modifies "sound" here, which is true if the physical stimulus is not detectable as sound, but tactile.
So it is a driver's fault if they hit you because you refused to yield?
Because I honestly never know whether or not an app has permission or not to access my location. App permissions are granted when the app is installed, not when it's run. Furthermore, apps update silently, and are they giving themselves new permissions or not with each update? If I have given an app permissions to access my location, how do I see that, and how do I revoke it? And if I don't manually close the app, is it still running in the background accessing my location at all times? For how long? For websites, these questions are easy to answer. For apps, I find it to be an utter mystery. App permissions are mess; better than free-for-all OSes like Windows, but worse than the web.

"Scent trails", I know exactly what you mean. I also have a very strong sense of smell. My friends call it my "dog nose". It was much more sensitive as a kid (I think), but still pretty good. I can follow people through buildings based on their smell (be it cologne or pungent b.o.) I can also identify people based on scent alone. Everyone has a very unique aroma. As a kid in school, I knew who had milk for breakfast. It was a very sour smell emanating off them -- probably why I find plain whole milk disgusting to this day.

Funny story, I found one of my favorite bars using this skill. Had just moved to a new location and it was super late -- everything was closed, but I was starving. I smelled tacos in the air. No idea where it was coming from, so I just followed the smell. After winding through a few small alleys, and up a few flights of stairs to this building, I ended up at a small late night bar. The owner was making taco rice.

My hearing is also quite good compared to my age. I still get bugged by those anti-teen/mosquito buzzers. I can still hear if an electronic device is on by the high frequency hum they emit. I attribute this to my actively taking care of my ears since childhood.

On the other hand, my vision is shit. Without contacts/glasses, the world is just a blur of color. I didn't know I had terrible vision until I got my first pair of glasses in middle school.
I have been meaning to do this exact project for 5 years at least. Congrats on making it happen - looking forward to using it
