I must be one of the few days old timers (my first web site went live in 1994) who doesn’t miss the marquee element. Always hated. Hated <blink> too.

There’s lots I don’t like about modern web development but the depreciation of marquee and blink aren’t 2 of them.
In Kotlin for instance you can execute your coroutines with different "dispatchers", which have different behaviors. You can for instance use a dispatcher with multiple threads in a threadpool, run it in the main thread, a specific thread, in threads with low/high priority etc. Basically allowing you to write code using the async/coroutine paradigm, but then control its execution from the outside.

So I've also used coroutines in Kotlin for CPU bound tasks with a nice speedup, where multiple sub-tasks get executed in parallel and then gathered when needed to produce new tasks etc., in a granular way that would be very intrusive doing with threadpools. Here I basically took the existing coroutine code and slapped some more threads on it.

With that said, I'm not entirely sold on Kotlin's way either. Both Kotlin and Python have the "what color is your function" problem.
could you talk about it a bit more ? especially for a react person. How would you term the developer experience of htmx?
No, definitely not, and they haven't, not yoy or mom. Terrible gathering.

octopi arises because people have learned Latin 2nd declension masculine nouns, by accident or repetition, where pluralizing (nominative case) turns the -us to -i.

It's a pattern matching phenomenon.

It would be less weird if there were not spelling irregularities, since the -pus is meant to be foot (like pes, pedes...in Latin, or pos, podes,... in Greek).

Basically, the spelling irregularity triggers a sensible pattern match, which happens to of course not honor the spelling irregularity.

And then nerds like me write too much about such, but i had years of Latin (and a little Greek) for something!
kinda miss it though
Which is a pretty silly claim. There are great colas with far less advertisement, but they're small premium brands which cost the same or more. Store brands are typically awful, Pepsi is bad despite their advertisement budget.
And when the service is relatively bad, ie too slow to come probably because they didn't have enough personnel in the kitchen this particular night (happenned to me yesterday), i don't tip, AND i don't feel bad for the waitress who isn't responsible for the lack of professionnal cook, because they are paid correctly.
Change in an organisation comes from collaboration at minimum and cooperation at best.

It also needs a working alliance between leaders and followers. In teams with shared leadership, different people contribute to team goals in different ways or can shift between leader or follower over time depending on how the task evolves. I developed a concept called quantum leadership that tries to study and convey this point. It's a bit esoteric but I've experience it.

> socialist regulatory authority to make the strike illegal

So the US government of 1920's was socialist, is that why they ordered the military to carpet bomb striking miners?

> Going on strike could—and often did—mean being beaten by strikebreakers, being shot at by National Guardsmen, or even having bombs dropped on you from biplanes.

https://listverse.com/2017/09/14/10-tragic-times-the-us-gove...

The word socialist has meaning, it doesn't mean 'bad guys'. It means siding with workers in their dispute with capital.

There can be times when it's the wrong this to do, but claiming that strike-breaking is socialist is like claiming that French Revolution was monarchist

This is something I’d love to try on my personal projects.

At least they stay away from hospital. One wishes that the country had proper sick leave and labour protections so that people can stay at home and cure their infection instead of spreading it at work.

We are seeing the fallout in the labour participation rate - it's partly due to people retiring instead of risking catching a potentially disabling disease and partly due to people unable to work because of Covid sequelae. One hopes that the government catches on.
Asyncio does not make your db calls or io faster, it does make your code more complex.

The only thing async io gives you is scalability of many MANY concurrent io operations. You have to either be pushing seriously large traffic or doing a lot of long running websocket/sse/long polling type requests.

The only other use case is lots of truly concurrent io within one request/response cycle. But again that is unusual, most apis have low single digit db queries that are usually dependent on one another removing any advantage of async.
> You're just not supposed to attribute all your successes to yourself.

Because it's very rarely true. Yes perhaps the individual performance of an actor is their own, but how much of the overall performance could be attributed them realistically?

People pick up on conceit and sanctimony pretty easily.
I never understood why gevent wasn't integrated more into default Python. I think at the moment it still requires monkey patching, so non-aware functions use the gevent variants. But once you've done that, you can gevent.spawn() a normal python function and it also runs concurrent (though not parallel) and is suspended when blocking I/O happens. No function coloring required. I'm sure there is some reason why that wasn't done. Anyone knows?
what do you mean by the term information?
My question is, rather, whether a system needs to be able to know it knows that information for it not to still be causal. Because it doesnt observe its whole wavefunction
Yes, like the other comment mentions - there's a built-in newsletter that also acts like a light blog. Check out how I use it on my personal site: https://www.philipithomas.com/

Personally, I don't think there is a benefit. If select is working for you, asyncio doesn't add anything performance wise. It is just meant to look more synchronous in how you write the code. But, using select and either throwing work onto a background thread or doing work quickly (if it isn't CPU bound) can be just as clear to read, if not clearer. Sometimes "async" and "await" calls only obfuscate the logic more.
Say 'xterm -fa <your favorite terminal font here>'. Boom, done. You can even use Xft font format, like "Terminus:pixelsize=20" rather then the traditional -blah-terminus-*-20-et-weary-cetera.

You can also set .Xresources, but that's a bit more complicated.
I have always wondered the same. Others say it’s selection bias, but I think it’s more of the personality type of those that don’t cash out. I think there’s a lot of narcissism, ego, or maybe even just plain naivety involved.

If it was me, I would cash out and then do some combination of foundation/volunteering work, education, relaxing, and focusing on some of my actual passions.
definitely does, a cold infection can protect the airways from a flu infection[1]. Cross reactivity of T cells very much exists. Another case is particular variants of covid-19 which is a corona virus granted partial immunity to influenza (one reason people suggested why both cold and flu seasons during covid peaks slowed considerably, apart from containment measures), and certain corona viruses that cause the common cold in turn also granted partial immunity against covid.

> Traveling nurses are definitely part of the problem, (why wouldn't someone go for the much higher salary)

Sounds more like being part of the solution. More traveling nurses equal more pay.

Eventually things will reach an equilibrium where base pay will rise enough to either attract more nurses back to the profession and/or make it profitable to train more nurses.
> I also hate separate sales tax. Just build it into the menu.

Presumably this is in part for the same reasons as the article's take on tips. If one business includes sales tax in their prices and another doesnt, the one who doesnt is going to look cheaper to customers even though its actually the same price.

Sales tax is also surprisingly complicated in the US. At least where I live, there is sales tax from the State, County and City in addition to a variety of special sales taxes for things like transit districts. It means, for example, its easy to find places where the sales tax is different on two sides of the same street (because there is a city boundary there or something else).

Interesting historical note on the blended wing design:

One of the main arguments against it was that designers weren't sure if people would be ok with sitting towards the center of the plane. The thought was that passengers wouldn't be comfortable without being able to at least see outside (even a little, looking at you 3/4/3 widebody planes).

I mention this b/c there is a quote in Mary Roach's Flying to Mars. She mentions concerns around how astronauts will be able to psychologically handle the remoteness of space. As a similar example. they talk about how in Victorian England people were concerned that trains would be traveling so quickly that it would induce a state of shock in the passengers. This turned out to not be the case at all.

In fact, she quotes a cosmonaut who says "Only people think this is problem is psychologists".
LOL. This is genius level trolling. This is every executive at every tech company.
I think you're underestimating how subtle and ubiquitous modern autotuning is. The video here is an extreme example of a very broad category of effects. In reality, almost every professional recording you hear uses autotune in the same way that almost every professional photograph you see uses color correction. Most people don't notice it most of the time (despite most people believing they always notice it).

An alternative you've also heard extremely often is a singer recording the same line 100 times, then producers going through each word (or each syllable) to cherry-pick the sample where it was most on-pitch and blend them together.

Neither one of these represents the singer's real ability (whatever that even means), but both can be unnoticeable by 99.99% of the population when applied skillfully.
Agree with many folks here:

Markdown is not sufficient for the task of expressing the modern web.

All that said... We shouldn't stop thinking of ways to reimagine what the WWW actually is.

Why not create a new web-browsery thing which uses a totally different language, totally different paradigm for composition, heck why not a totally different network transport?

If you think that sounds dumb...I just described the current state of Netflix.

Gumi is definitely an iconic character, and the new Gumi release is probably as big as the Vocaloid 6 news itself. (Not only are there a lot of "vocaloid classics" that were made with Gumi, but some of the biggest hits in the past few years, such as KING by Kanaria or Getcha by Giga and Kira, have used Gumi.)

I kind of suspect Piapro NT is going to end up being a bust, with a pivot back to Yamaha's platform. We're a few years in and they've still only released Miku, none of the other Crypton Future Media characters, and a lot of people are sticking to the Vocaloid 4 release because they're not fans of how NT sounds. Now V6 is out and the technological gulf is widening.
And what is the problem with this, if the family's interests align with "protecting the environment and furthering charitable causes" rather than outside shareholders' usual interests of "make me money at all costs"?

Not to mention that the reason the family is receiving said tax break is because the firm's income will no longer flow through them. Giving up the future profits of the firm in perpetuity is surely more expensive than paying a one-time tax bill.

It is symptomatic of our society that people find it impossible to believe that there is even one wealthy man on the planet whose goals and actions aren't entirely self-centered.

Congratulations to the whole team! I know this celebrates the achievements by select Northrop Grumman employees, but the JWST success deserves to be shared among all the teams: NASA, ESA CSA, U Arizona, Ball Aerospace, L3Harris, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and the Space Telescope Science Institute.

> Given a high level of false positives, it's probably not uncommon AT ALL that sometimes it takes a couple of bug reports before something is reproducible or generates a high enough alert/credibility status, as seemed to have happened here.

This case was not the case of eventually the same reports being taken seriously. None of them were, until the author met people working at Google in person at some event, and him showing them the issue and then persisting.

Different than "Ops, we received a couple of requests, better look into it" and more like "this guy won't stop bothering us about it, probably should look into it".

Security reports from proper pentesters tend to include easy to reproduce steps and if you can't reproduce it yourself from that, you can ask them to expand, since it's in their interest for you to be able to understand them, since that's how they get paid.
Can you articulate how what you said here is materially different from say:

I think people are disagreeing with you because you show a fundamental misunderstanding of how larger companies work. There is not a simple "queries per employee" metric that makes sense as companies grow larger. Large sites with a lot of surface area have to solve different problems- and structure their business, which includes larger teams working on different problems- and if you got rid of them, you'd run a risk of serious problems with your infrastructure.

At Facebook, if you fired all the UX designers, the site could stay up for years. If you fired all the SREs, the site would be down in two weeks.

>Fact is, people say this, but when artists actually release music that uses no autotuning, it tends to be less popular.

The kind of artists worth listening to wouldn't touch autotune with a 1000ft pole. They're less popular to begin with - but can still have tens of millions of fans globally (say, someone like Tom Waits).

> Closing the door to people that are drive-by posters who cannot be bothered to fork over three dollars can only result in better inputs.

We are not talking about the same kind of issues or people. Aside from the strawman:

People creating an issue with all the detail are already investing time into reporting an aspect of your project. Immediately closing the issues is like giving them a middle finger, for investing their time, trying to help the project.

Sometimes, when I have a problem with some tool being buggy, I consider opening an issue, but sometimes I don't do it, because I know it would be time-consuming. However, when I open an issue, I usually try to provide all required information and maybe even an example to reproduce the issue. I invest time to make it easy for the maintainers to see the actual issue. If they closed that issue immediately and wasted my time like that, I would be very careful to ever invest time again into anything those people create.

I'd have to give an anti-recommendation to this book. The author never explains his thesis and the book reads like his thesis was "Octopuses are cool" and spends the entire time listing fun facts and interesting stories about his interactions with cephalopods.

He spends very little time drawing connections to consciousness or speaking about what octopus life can tell us about consciousness. There is a whole chapter where he talks about the influence of language in human action (like self-talk), and then ends the chapter by with something like "and octopuses don't have this ability". What was the point of that whole chapter then?

Maybe my expectations were miscalibrated, and I thought he would spend more time drawing connections between octopuses and humans, and what those similarities could tell us about consciousness. Instead of that, the writing about consciousness in this book is quite shallow.
Came to the comments to make nearly the exact same remark. I, too, remember seeing these in middle school in the 90s, as well as high school. Though, they weren't in my textbooks - but were in the supplemental "educational magazines" that the science teachers would supplement their coursework with, and "Popular Science" magazines that the school had in the library.
