UnifiedPush is compatible with WebPush: both just involve an HTTP POST to a specific URL. If your application server supports WebPush, it can send encrypted notifications to UnifiedPush servers (that is how we're planning to support Telegram, for example). You can then decrypt these notifications in the app [1]. However, some protocols only send a wake-up ping or random ID in the push notification, Trifa and Matrix respectively. There, encryption is unnecessary complexity.

However, we don't use the WebPush API between the push server and distributor since there is a lot of scope for innovation in that space (for example Google's FCM uses a custom XMPP based protocol).

Isnt this extremely normal for these types of services?

I was rejected for my state's version of medicaid 4 times because no rep would take the time to go through my application (I made over the income limit, but lived in Flint, MI during the water crisis, making me eligible for a higher limit). I just stopped trying after 4 months.

This is truly the most important question and one that only you can answer for yourself, unfortunately.
because some people in charge of android mistakenly believed that because some stats claimed Java was the most popular language that chosing Java would lead to the most developers for android (and then they chose Kotlin later beacuse it's a better Java and compatible with the JVM)

IMO, choosing Java was one of the worst decisions they ever made. There's a reason why no other platform (PS5, XBox, iPhone, Mac, Linux, etc..) don't choose a language like Java. Android has so much jank because they chose Java
C can make up for a lot depending on your network and skills. I'm not particularly well-embedded in my local community and if necessary I could get at least the following things free:

* Car repair work

* Basic healthcare (luckily I have state insurance so I don't need it, but if I did it's possible)

* Home/apartment/other home repair or improvement

* Tailoring/alterations/well-fitting clothing (including free clothes if I ask - even if I don't, I get given clothing on a semi-regular basis)

* Cooking equipment

Now, in return I need to offer some skills (mostly technical, academic, or navigating bureaucracies - skills that are in fairly short supply on the lowest part of socioeconomic ladder), but like I said, I'm not particularly involved so people with more history and social credit can get more stuff taken care of.

I also at one point paid like...50% of market rate for rent because I was willing to be free, on-call childcare for 3 children under the age of 7.
I agree with you that they are increasingly unified in those beliefs, but being unified doesn't make the beliefs true. Do you think that they are true, that their elders have in fact pulled up the ladder behind them?

> And you did pretty good: 75% good hires!... But if you had the God’s-eye view of all your applicants, you might find out that 75% of all of applicants were good hires!

The author has clearly never been involved in hiring/selecting before, because the idea that application processes are as good as random is positively absurd.

People will apply to all sorts of things they're not even remotely qualified for. Hell, I've certainly done it in the past. A resume screen is essential to eliminate the obvious unqualified, and a first round of interviews weeds out people who also clearly don't have what's needed for the role or who throw up a gigantic red flag. (And then after that it's about trying to find the best match, not just a barely sufficient one, since suitability for a role isn't binary but exists on a continuum.)

Applying and then interviewing/screening is something we do because it's necessary. Obviously people are always looking for ways to improve the process, e.g. what types of signals actually correlate most with job performance?

But the idea that the application is no better than random flies in the face of all evidence, as well as all common sense.

This makes as much sense as saying that going on dates is useless -- just pick a partner at random and get married and be done with it, because the odds are just as good! (When of course the research shows that personality compatibility and chemistry compatibility are huge determinants of successful marriages.)

> if keep alive packets are sent at the TCP leve

Unfortunately there are lots of bits of hardware in mobile networks that fake acks - ie. TCP level acks will be received very quickly to indicate the mobile network has accepted the data, and will deliver it at some future time out to the internet.

The problem is they still send acks even if the remote end is no longer responsive.

So you can't reliably use TCP acks to know if a connection is still alive. You need to send actual data and have the application respond.
Linux would still be a portable kernel if it dropped m68k support. It still targets PPC, ARM, x86, Sparc, avr, ia64, s390, blah blah blah. Dropping m68k is a far cry from dropping everything except amd64.
I'm all for reigning in student debt, but how about solving fast homomorphic encryption first?

Completely agree, but a second point is incommensurability of ways of knowing.

There's 'science', 'morality', etc. Not all decision are scientific, even if they require scientific knowledge as a factor. Here he aligns with Focualt when discussing power and the urge to use science, or Hayekian scientism, to say there is one true way and the decision should be X.
The dubious administrators are a symptom, not a cause. The root cause is guaranteed loan money. About a decade ago, I remember seeing a study posted here that said that for every dollar of increased guaranteed loans, tuition went up 71 cents. There’s just no incentive for a university to charge much less than the maximum amount that the student can borrow.

The first step to addressing the college affordability crisis is to get the government out of student loans to attend private universities and colleges. If private lenders want to step in, that’s fine, but then they have to do an actual actuarial process to determine which students will be capable of repaying. Once the government is only involved in public education, they can start working on cost cutting, but that too has to start with cutting back on loans, because those just make tuition go up.

I get that guaranteed loans come from a place of wanting to make education more accessible and not just a part of the entrenched privilege of the wealthy, but guaranteed loans are one of those zombie policies that makes the situation worse rather than accomplishing its goal.

wasm-pack doesn't do any sort of help for compiling C code. It mostly just helps with interop and bundling.

I know that cargo compiles C, but it really should not be that hard to compile C code to WASI and provide a libc that works with WASI. The emscripten backend worked well except for this one minor issue, but when I asked online, I got a response that made it seem like I was being ridiculous for using emscripten in 2022. Meanwhile the WASI backend is clearly not mature yet either.

> 1) You have to handle the spent fuel (either by storage or recycling, neither of which is easy).

This is easy to solve. Just launch the waste into Space. A typical large reactor produces 25-30 tonnes of used fuel per year. That’ll take one space trip for Falcon 9 to launch it into Space on a trajectory to nowhere. It’ll destroy itself over millions of years or immediately. Either I make no sense at all or why else has no one tried it yet?
Surely we could only allow selling of prediluted version. At such level that overdosing would be rarer. Not that you can't overdose on many other things if you miss use them. Main problem I currently see is the quality control and variances between what is being sold. But if the stuff was pharmaceutical quality and uniform there would be less issues in that regard. Also it would be pure, which I think would allow there to be less issues.
Taking on student loan debt is a choice, we need better financial literacy in this country. This is bigger than just student loan debt - look at how Americans rack up credit cards, car loans, becoming house poor with massive mortgages. Most of my friends growing up came from low or low-middle class incoming earning households. They ALL went to community colleges, then transferred to state colleges, saving tons of money in the process. The only people I know IRL who have massive student loan debt were the upper middle class kids from well off families. I think has to do more with how you're raised/your mindset about budgeting/money. Yes, colleges need to cut admin bloat too ... but good luck on that happening.
It's very much the opposite. Most good professors (and good teachers) would rather be doing research. Their research brings in millions and millions of federal funding, and colleges take 45%-65% off the top of each grand in the form of indirect cost recapture. Most research professors also pay some or all of their salary from their grants. And the good, successful ones, wouldn't be at that university teaching at all if the schools didn't supply the necessary research infrastructure. Those IDCs heavily subsidize the school.
The vehicles are intended to be very predictable for other drivers. I don't consider that to be synonymous with encoding intent into subtle microbehaviors. Instead it means straightforward behaviors like turn signals, appropriate speeds, avoiding last minute lane changes, etc.
Someone would sure have to convince me that the VR made things a lot better. I'm skeptical given that I rarely even use video for personal calls outside of some group Zoom one group of friends or other put together maybe every couple months.

This doesn't really add up to me.

The article explains how the original bad code gets checked in which seems plausible enough.

But that doesn't explain why the first fix wasn't to just start using a JOIN? Or the second fix.

I guess it's a made up story, to make a point? Anyway, I found the plot holes distracting.
I agree with you on the vast majority of this, but I think it's a bridge too far to put intonation above feel unconditionally.

You are correct that keeping time (what an engineer would call "maintaining a common time base between transmitter and receiver") is necessary to play together with other musicians. But what musicians would call "feel" is what an engineer would call "phase modulation" -- whether a note is ahead of the beat, on the beat, or behind the beat; and by how much. Especially in Black American music (jazz, blues, soul, R&B, and a bunch of pop that's been influenced by those styles), there is a lot of crucial information there beyond what is conveyed in the "gridded" rhythms that are conveyed in Western musical notation. If you are not aware of this, you will still have problems playing with other musicians. From personal experience, it is anxiety-inducing to play with musicians who are ignorant of their beat placement and as a consequence have what an engineer would call "jitter" -- their timekeeping is correct on average, but on each given beat, they might be a little bit ahead or a little bit behind. You can play with a metronome for ages and never realize you're doing this wrong, as you're not consistently rushing or dragging, you're just inconsistent.
Kind of related but not: if you are interested in cli design I recommend this guide as well: https://clig.dev/

I think people are overly focused on how crappy Unix tools from the previous millennia are (ls, sendmail, dd, etc…) but I do truly believe that cli tools can be ergonomic because I have used and built tools which feel ergonomic.
Let’s put this in perspective. Under this agreement, UC can hire a college-educated, generally high achieving, generally highly motivated researcher, in California, for $34k/yr. This worker will be motivated to work hard (to graduate) and is likely to also teach classes and work rather long hours. This is an incredibly good deal.

Obviously the total cost is more than $34k/yr, because graduate students, like any other employees, have overhead. But university money has a way of going around in circles, and (although I haven’t checked the particular details here), a good fraction of this money may be chargeable to grants, this costing the university as a whole nothing except to the extent that these charges displace other charges that the university might otherwise benefit from.

In fact, in some cases, universities charge more than 100%: the university can charge a “fee” (graduate tuition) and bill that fee to a grant. And in other cases (but maybe not under this agreement), the university can collect the fee from the student.

For comparison, NSF GRFP currently pays $37k/yr. Stanford appears to pay about $27k/yr (which, if I understood the table right, is a bit embarrassing). The DoD’s NDSEG pays $40.8k/yr. Hertz pays $34k/yr.

So, as far as I’m concerned, this agreement is a bargain for UC.

I strongly doubt a crypto API will be taken away. It’s the bread and butter of any language that ships with one. There are very few implementations and their APIs are largely identical too

Web SQL? Now you could survey a room and ask if they think web JavaScript should have a native SQL library and probably half will say ehhh… a native SQL library where there are a thousand ways to implement it was doomed from the start

That said, algorithms may be deprecated and removed. I’ve seen that happen in crypto libraries.

"The origins of bomb as a meteorologic term are not entirely clear; although reputed to have been in spoken use for a number of decades prior to this, our earliest written record of this sense of bomb occurs in 1980."[0]

I call B.S. on "bomb" as a meterological term "for a number of decades prior", it is just another lame clickbait term. "The rapid intensification of a low-pressure system in which the barometric pressure of the system drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours (also referred to as explosive cyclogenesis)"[1] is nothing like an actual bomb.

Feels like an appropriate tool to use in conjunction with tropospheric sulphur release (which while extremely effective at offsetting carbon causes some politically intractable…er…minor…acid rain) to flatten the curve on climate change in the next five years until more energy intensive carbon draw down solutions can be deployed.

I play electric guitar.. I really doubt what you're saying.

I'd bet I could ask 10 other people who play guitar and none of them even know what aliasing is.

And none would be able to talk intelligently about what it means and what sounds good when thinking about a transistor distorting, an op-amp distorting, diode or LED clipping, a tube causing clipping/distortion, or a digital algorithm clipping. Most just try something and fiddle with the knobs, decide whether it sounds good or not, and move on with trying to figure out what music to create.

I actually find the stuff that gives more options around clipping tends to just be annoying. I prefer the designer to just pick the best sounding one and just go with that. Pretty much every time I've had an effect that offered a clipping switch or rotary dial one sounds the best, it takes a couple minutes to decide, after that I just wish the designer had left only that best one in the product without a switch.

I'd kind of argue intentional aliasing as a purposeful strategy to get a unique sound is probably something that has been overlooked. I guess "bit crushing" counts and that is somewhat common though.

Audiophiles are a whole different thing. I love tubes for playing guitar where everything is very non-audiophile but it's still really hard to wrap my head around it for audio reproduction.

> I think a lot of blame is with the database vendors. They only targeted some domains and not others, so writing SQL is something of an acquired taste. I wish there was a modern language that compiled to SQL (like PRQL, but with data mutation).

There's EdgeQL https://www.edgedb.com/blog/we-can-do-better-than-sql#lack-o... which I like the look of - but as it adds one more layer over a database I haven't used it yet.

Edit: I hadn't seen PRQL before, reading the site now https://prql-lang.org/
Well, this is exactly it. We are being told to believe that the end of knowledge work is nigh but yet this thesis is built on a bed of nonsense. It is just hand-wavy science fiction that even some academics with impressive pedigrees are promulgating. I think it is irresponsible as there is no sensible dialogue going on so you have students freaking out and will decide what not to study based on this and people making career decisions based on this misinformation.
I always tell people - when talking about unemployment rate - that our target rate should be 100%. Many of the things I do for work I would happily do for free - and sometimes do.

Labor as a choice is a great outcome. You're not a woodworker because someone needs to be - but because you love it. So: if there is no work to do, it doesn't mean that work wouldn't be done, it just changes the motivation to do it.

The way this works is it uses a containerd shim.
In containerd-land, shims are responsible for all the platform dependent setup/management of a container.

The "normal" shim on Linux is the runc shim (io.containerd.runc.v2).
On Windows the shim is called runhcs (io.containerd.runhcs.v1).

The docker solution mentioned in the article modifies the "wasmtime" shim from https://github.com/containerd/runwasi so that it uses "wasmedge" instead.
It also happens to be using an unreleased version of dockerd.

So how does this work with compose? Currently you need to specify the runtime for the container, there should be an option in the compose yaml for this.

How does it work with pods?
You need to configure containerd's cri config with a runtime handler that specifies the wasmedge shim. Then you add a RuntimeClass to k8s and add that to your pod spec.
