>Should we be concerned about needing drugs to treat obesity?

This comment of yours made me think of this comment from another article about another obesity drug I read recently:

"The history of medicine includes the following story many times: there’s some condition that doctors recommend lifestyle changes for. Then an exciting new medication comes out that treats the condition effectively. Over a generation or so, doctors go from demanding the lifestyle change, to gesturing at the lifestyle change before prescribing the medication, to mostly just prescribing the medication. We saw this with cholesterol and statins, with hypertension and ACE inhibitors, with depression and SSRIs. You can form your own opinion on whether this is good or bad, but we’re probably in the very beginning of this process with obesity. Opinions will be all over the map for a while before the inevitable pharma company victory makes everyone agree that semaglutide is first-line therapy."

Thank you, just seeing the stack you recommended has given me a bit of direction. I will set out to learn the basics of these tools. I'll be in touch!

The answer is building more housing. That's all. No magic pill or silver bullet. Just build housing. Near where people work, ideally.
You'll need to support loading two versions of each DLL into memory and invoking both on some percentage of servers to be able to replicate a microservice though.

The important part of microservices isn't just API boundaries, it's lifecycle management. This CAN be done with a DLL or JAR, but it's MUCH harder today.
The fourth largest ISP in India blocking Github for the past week is a big deal. Them outright saying it was blocked due to a court order is a bigger deal. 2 million subscribers don't have access to Github right now.

Just because your ISP hasn't caught up does not mean it's not news. Why, exactly, do 2 or more ISPs need to do this for it to become important enough for you to care?

And why, exactly, do you think that getting to HN front page is "blowing it out of proportion"? The poster was upfront about what was happening, who it's affecting, and why it's being done. People interested in this have brought it up to the front page. What, exactly, did OP do that made it "blown out of proportion"?

And how is you anecdotally saying that it's not affecting you therefore a non-issue not downplaying the situation? The definition of "downplaying" is "make (something) appear less important than it really is" which is literally what you're doing.

The gist is (to me) clearly that you're not meant to be effectively reselling cloudflare's own service. It's being sold (or given freely) under the assumption that it's largely used to build something else, not to build another CDN.

EDIT: There's questions downthread if I've misunderstood ImageBoss's role here. I think ImageBoss was also blocked by CloudFlare recently and separately and is not OP's website.

OP's website (imageboss) looks pretty rad, you can host images and have all sorts of derivative transformations that are done by imageboss and cached for you.

But it's functioning as a CDN (and boasts unlimited transformations, requests and bandwidth, which I think we all know is not actually possible.)
The difference is by 2002, Amazon and Google already existed and were a huge improvement on what came before. I don't see anything similarly useful in the "web3" space yet. The most compelling use case is still transferring value in cases where value is hard to transfer otherwise (remittances, black market goods/services, censorship evasion) - but this was possible 10 years ago.
That depends what "generation" includes. It probably also includes the transmission and stepping up and all of the equipment to deliver it to the distributor. If you are grid tied, you are still using that system as a backup at minimum and should contribute to its upkeep. Therefore you should be paid accordingly. I don't think there is much objection to paying for solar excess at the bulk rate.
I am too. My last energy bill was $39 for 174kWh for a house built in 1926. Considering that I pay ~$12 in grid connection fees, the payback period is functionally never.

> There's two technical problems that microservices purport to solve

There's a third technical problem that microservices solve, and it's my favorite: isolation. With monoliths, you provide all of your secrets to the whole monolith, and a vulnerability in one module can access any secret available to any other module. Similarly, a bug that takes down one module takes down the whole process (and probably the whole app when you consider cascading failures). In most mainstream languages, every module (even the most unimportant, leaf node on the dependency tree) needs to be scoured for potential security or reliability issues because any module can bring the whole thing down.

This isn't solved at the language level in most mainstream languages. The Erlang family of languages generally address the reliability issue, but most languages punt on it altogether.

> The real reason that microservices may make sense is because they keep people honest around module boundaries.

Agreed. Microservices, like static type systems, are "rails". Most organizations have people who will take shortcuts in the name of expedience, and systems with rails disincentivize these shortcuts (importantly, they don't preclude them).
Certainly, if we lived in a world with a very robust financial safety net, then people would be less inclined to make risky financial decisions. The main question is how do we get there?

It's not obvious to me that the currently popular web3/crypto approach of widely promoting these risky gambles gets us there.

Five nights a week is quite a lot, she may have some strong tolerance as well. It's a semi-low to moderate dose for pain patients I believe IIRC just a higher dosing rate compared to the median rates that I commonly see.
(1) Poor ratio of price to quality. I'm not keen on spending a $20K fashion premium at all, but even less so when I've seen so many pictures and videos of improper welds, panels that don't fit, etc.

(2) Just not a fan of the "design language" as another commenter put it. I positively do not want everything run through a built-in tablet, especially with all of the bugginess people have noted. That's fine for navigation and entertainment, but I want real physical dials and buttons for the basics.

(infinity) Elon is a total douchenozzle. I was saying so at least six years ago, when my new FAANG co-workers all gave me some serious side-eye for that, but it really wasn't a factor in my decision.

I ended up getting a Nissan Leaf SV+ which I like quite a lot. With the benefit of hindsight I now think I would have been even better off getting the electric Mini despite its pathetic range (I drove a Mini for 13 years before and literally cried to see it go). A plug-in hybrid might be an even better fit for my actual needs. But that's all water under the bridge. I'll give full credit to Tesla for doing an awesome job on charging systems (both ends), and for providing a necessary prod to other makers, but as a purchaser the rest seems mediocre to actively bad.
How could this be implemented without a political breakthrough (which I think is probably impossible)?
He has lawyers and hasn't been found guilty on anything yet. Not really god tier negotiation imo.
Because by being indirect, you can change the jump target in 0x400000 via the result of alu ops.
Just a nit: as a dev turned lawyer, I would say law firms don't need to be organized as they are. That's a whole topic, and I don't think it impairs your main point, just saying: don't assume anything in law is optimal, balanced, or rational.

Yeah, whenever I see something like that, my first thought is, “Doesn’t work like other apps on your OS, so will be a pain to get used to, will have weird inconsistencies, and won’t integrate properly with OS features that come standard with all other apps you run.
Most criticism of prohibition / the war on drugs focuses on total harm, not just the harm of consumption.

Some may well believe prohibition increased use, but personally I can't recall ever having seen that argument.

With the war on drugs you have to e.g. add in the huge amount of violence and other crimes caused by illegal production and distribution and high prices of various hard drugs, as well as the severe impact on people imprisoned as a result.

It would take a massive increase in harm from the drugs themselves to outweigh that harm.

That's before considering what investing the same resources in other mitigation might achieve.

You're absolutely right. My comment is towards the view that using a single language for a certain Project Backend is a bad thing per se. The online vs batch processing is the golden example of domains that should be separated in different binaries, call it microsservices or services or just Different Projects with Nothing in Common. Going further than that is where the problems arise.
> "I think the point is that there is no indication of a crime."

Inexplicably being denied access to your own funds without being told what's going on or when the issue will be resolved could be an indication of a crime. I'm not saying it is a clear indication, but I'm not denying the possibility either.

There can be any number of hypothetical reasons for the situation being the way it is, and you can't exclude ones which are clearly criminal in nature (say somebody hacked their account and emptied it for funds). You should also draw parallels to other service providers (hospitals, universities, etc).

> "It's so easy to react emotionally to things when they affect your livelihood"

What other choice do you have in such a situation? This person exhausted every option they had, only to eventually get the help they needed by randomly reaching out to internet strangers. If it wasn't for this, who knows how long they would remain locked out of their account without any visibility into what's going on? Meanwhile, their business would be hurting, creating a cascading effect.

Filing a police report in such a situation isn't "reacting emotionally".
It never occurred to me that this was fiction, so thank you for helping me finally realize that.
>"In a RISC architecture, every memory access is a register load or store, and our task would be completely impossible. But x86 does not have this property."

In any architecture, including x86, every memory access is an ALU load or store, and our task would be completely impossible.

>"But x86 does not have this property."

The x86 does have this property(!) -- but it is hidden/abstracted away from the programmer -- by the use of x86 microcode between x86 instructions -- and the ALU...

But -- an interesting and educational article nonetheless...

All x86 registers -- are basically just abstracted views of an ALU and/or Memory (both possibilities are merged into one "view", depending on which CPU operation happened last!) -- which is now may be cached by the CPU (as opposed to being a direct view of the ALU) -- at a given CPU/ALU state/time...(!)

Although it is not clear from the blog post, I think what the author did, was to use an old technique for blogs, where you would serve images under many different subdomains. You did this in order to force the web browsers to deeply parallelize the requests, as browsers used to limit to around 4 concurrent requests per domain IIRC. This was pre-HTTP2/QUIC era, and it made a huge difference, as a website could have tens or hundreds of requests per page.

There were even specialized wordpress plugins to take care of this. You just assigned multiple subdomains to your website and the plugin would round-robin the subdomain each image would come from.

If this is indeed the case, then we are in a gray area, where he did and did not violate cloudflare's rules at the same time.
> AI-generated summaries of your legal docs so you can understand what you're signing.

If you sell me a summary of a legal document, which was advertised as being useful to understand the legal document, that seems like just about the most straightforward case of legal advice I can imagine.
It seems to bother you, I don't have any issues with people using code I put into the public domain which I why I use the unlicense. GitHub Actions is YAML based, and the reason most people use a SCM provider like Github or GitLab is because they have superior collaboration and auditing features. At the end of the day no one forces you to use a public repo(copilot) or GitHub Actions.

It is possible to do this without battery, but you need some special inverters, like the Enphase IQ8.
We're quite interested in a related case here of byte-addressable CDN caching of data table reads for web-scale publishing. So right in that gray area of web publishing. Imagine something like an infinite on-demand parquet table scrolling UI on the NYT website. S3 supports this quite cleanly for internal use, but not for web publishing, where a CDN is needed for the typical hot reads.

So the question is which CDN would make sense for fronting that, both technically and, as seen here, wrt ToS. If not cloudflare... who?

We are getting tons of utility scale solar:

> Utility-scale solar power generation in the U.S. is surging. This year, almost half the 46.1 gigawatts (GW) of generating capacity added to the grid will be solar, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and solar has contributed more than 30% of all new capacity in five of the last six years.

Yes, with some minor limitations as it receives much less testing. I was using 10x with The Machinery (RIP) for some time and the developer was super responsive fixing any C-specific issues (and even added some TM specific features when I asked nicely). If more people start using it for C and report any issues found, it should get even better.

I would say it may even be better suited for C to some extent since that is a much simpler language with less chances for the parser to get confused by some obscure corner case. C++ really is the worst case scenario for a parsing engine, so once it works reliably for that, support for other languages should also become much more feasible.

I've seen the term "cognitive artifact" or "cognitive tool" used before, in the sense of a technique or trick that, once known, transforms a person's abilities and even ability to think. It tends to permeate everything. Arithmetic is an example. Looking at the terrain and being able to abstract that to a map, whether mental or in the dirt/on paper, is another example. "Categorization" is probably one - putting things into abstract classes and sticking a label on them. Artifact is an interesting choice of word for it; human-made and passed like a material object. Yet children tend to learn them so young, we can't imagine how we thought before we knew them.

Written language, I think, is clearly in this category. Humans have had the physiology necessary for reading/writing for tens if not hundreds of thousands of years. And yet we did not write. In recent history, individuals from non-literate societies simply exposed, without intimate detail, to the idea of writing, have gone and invented their own writing system shortly after. (The Cherokee alphabet is probably such a development.)

What if spoken and sign language are like that? In discussions of the origins of human language, it is often framed as if an individual acquired a genetic mutation that allowed modern language usage and so they started speaking. But what if humans had the physiology necessary for a long time, but only made limited vocalizations, until someone or some group made the necessary mental leap, and so developed the process of abstraction and seemingly-infinite recursion that language allows? What if they successfully communicated it to others, and every human alive now is, in effect, culturally and mentally descended from them and their insight, unable to escape it even if we wanted to?
