It's an allegory OP is making to express their disdain for anecdotal correlation, illustrated here by the absurdity in which the story of a solution architect making a mistake based on a single case, is itself an anecdotal correlation …the purpose of which is perceived to paint an entire class of people (solution architects) as reactively decisive with incomplete information.
This is purely notational convention and both interpretations are pretty widely attested in different subfields. The composition circle operator is most often the Haskell order (“f after g”), but “compose” can refer to either.
> Automating things makes you forget how to do them

I understand this anxiety and have definitely felt it before. In most of those cases it turned out that once I automated the thing, it was actually a relief, because now not only do I not have to remember the specific details, I also have a script that I can pull up and read if I need to remember those details. Automation can be great documentation sometimes. (big emphasis on sometimes though)
Ready to deploy your service/product on-prem environment. The main problem with on prem deployment is maintaining multiple versions. try to make sure you have better test coverage from day 1. in saas its easier to push the changes but on prim setup even minor update will take months from taking approval to deployment.
I use it at work, and while it’s quite good, I find some of the ESP libraries on top of FreeRTOS to actually be a step backwards. As soon as esp adds their event loop, you’re pushed towards using that architecture, and while I’ve found that good for single use devices, for devices that are doing multiple things at the same time, fitting in memory has been a chore.
I also would love some higher performance networking with zero copy, most of the interface boundaries in the esp code involve a memory copy.

I am OK with voice commands, though a common vocabulary for the important ones would be good (kind of like the way the main steering-column stalk controls are kind-of standardized), but the few weeks of familiarization with the touchscreen buttons is problematic, especially for anyone who frequently rents cars.

Physical buttons that cannot be located by touch are no better than touchscreen buttons, though the flexibility of touchscreen buttons probably opens up the scope for implementing them badly.
ICE vs Electric has nothing to do with buttons vs touchscreens.
There are additional requirements about exporting logs in real time (Splunk, etc), and sharing data via mechanisms like S3, if your service needs to sell to highly regulated industries. You’ll need third party audit findings as well.

I think courts often encounter people who have clever interpretations of laws, but who then get a bit of a rude awakening when their "Air Bud" style workaround gets slapped down when it meets a surly judge who has no time for their shit. Obviously not a lawyer, so I don't know whether this is one of these, whether it's something yet to be tested in court or whether Warrant Canaries are already accepted as valid.
Any NFC sticker should work. I used a non-writable one, with an iOS shortcut that calls the "unlock" URL, since I don't use HomeKit.

For things that aren't security-related like a light, you can use a writable one, and write the URL to the dot so that anyone's phone will be able to turn the light on/off from the sticker.

When we bought our last car we specifically avoided touchscreen-heavy interfaces. Worst we looked at was Peugeot, which not only had framerate stuttering _on the actual digital dashboard_, the radio turned on loud for us and although the digital volume button was large, you couldn’t just hold it down - you needed to repeatedly tap/lift/tap/lift/… to move it more than just one volume notch.

We bought a (non-peugeot) car with a physical dial in the end.

Why use ESP32 if you're powering with PoE? Might as well use an "Ethernet-on-board" like Teensy 4.1, and then use a PoE splitter (ex: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3239) to power it.

Why pay for WiFi power (which is rather expensive) when you literally are sending Ethernet communication wires to your uC ?

What the Constitution says is not how the system actually works. The magic phrase "national security" means they can compel you to do as they please, and find you guilty without due process if you don't.

Headlines from the date of the canary; including them demonstrates that the canary was produced and signed on or after the date indicated, not before. See "notes" at the bottom.
> the benefit lies in the fact that the app can keep state and resources between requests.

You can share state between processes using temporary files/shared memory. Like CGI itself, it doesn’t scale as well, but it’s not even a blip on resource usage unless you’re dealing with thousands of requests per second.

> In particular, it can maintain a database connection all the time (with a retry logic for the case when it gets disconnected).

You can run a daemon that performs the connection pooling for you, and have each request connect to the daemon instead.

As an alternative, if you containerize everything in the stack, you can simply spool up another seperate and isolated stack of containers for each given customer. Then it's also trivial if they want it 'on premise' somewhere or 'in the cloud'. No need to try and add complexity at the schema level and make a monolith support multiple tenants.

Only downside I can see is performance hit. You need to check if it’s negative then you need now calculate the length first… which is a bit of overhead but considering how often you use arrays in a tight-loop… I mean if you can optimize out the check because you can detect that the index is always positive…
Agree to disagree. I guess each body behaves differently. Worth mentioning that I was always cautious with the amount of weigths and strict with the executiom.

It's going to be a very difficult legal debate at some point in the future. And I bet there are a lot of constitutional lawyers salivating over it :-)

If the government can compel you to hand over some information, well that's government. They can also injunct you not to tell people.

But, can they compel you to lie, publically ? Can they compel you to not publish such canaries - just in case they want to compel you later on?

And frankly, does it matter - is such a canary really just a form of social performance? If I don't want the US government to know something about me, I should stay the hell away from modern life, internet and so forth.
The problem of the CPU reordering things only exists on architectures like Alpha. However, there's still the problem of the compiler reordering things (which exists on every architecture), and memory_order_consume was intended to solve both. As you can see from the original rationale document from 2010, this RCU use-case was one of the main motivations:

You cannot enforce fines without violence or control of the banks, which you would get through violence.

Most people think their view is morally correct and many think that gives them the right to shove it down other's throats. It doesn't have to come to blows, let people be.
I had a good laugh when reading this.

On that note, I recently revived some nearly 20 year old perl CGI stuff. Had some minor syntax issues (language ambiguities which got fixed), but it was running just fine after having fixed these. There was also some C code with it (some tooling), needed header include fixing + function renaming, otherwise still worked. Small project all in all, not reliant on a lot of external things.
Worth remembering that “Going to Rome” has a very different feel to it if you live in Terni vs if you live in Whichita, Kansas. One is a day trip to shop, the other might be an adventure of a lifetime.

I was born in an East European country and I worked a few years in New York. Many people back at home react to this fact as if I made it. As if shoveling software on Lafayette street makes you a better software engineer than doing the same on the Rákóczi Körút. On the other hand for many people living and working in New York is nothing special. They were born there, it is their normal.

I for one think where you were is not as important as what you made of your time there.

> Will regulators act on this?

If they do, it will happen in the EU. I doubt anyone in the USA would have the courage to touch this subject. It's very clear for everyone involved: touchscreens look more shiny to the user and at the same time let the manufacturer make significant cost savings - hardware switches don't seem like a big cost until you realize how many of them you need and how reliable they need to be over a number of years, and that the part you switch is just a small element of the whole system.
I appreciate this post, thank you for writing it.

There is something elegant about PHP and CGI. Just put file somewhere and query it by browser.

How would you fix the design of PHP and CGI to be scalable?

I wrote a userspace scheduler that multiplexes lightweight threads onto kernel threads. It is a 1:M:N scheduler since there is a scheduler thread that preempts other thread's loops. I think I can write a runtime that uses files. I also have an epollserver. If I merge them together and write a HTTP router, then in theory you could have a modern server runner that can execute in-process with threads.

I would need to think how to execute Ruby, Lua, Javascript code in a thread. Perhaps that's similar to NodeJs but it's a file runner rather than a server application.

Many people confuse "X is slower than Y" with "X is slow in some absolute sense". Starting a new process takes well under a millisecond on most modern machines, so that would be completely lost in the latency of most web requests. The real benefits of persistent processes are in getting to reuse database connections and the like.
I just see functions.

You're right. I edited my comment.
GDPR just says you cannot keep personal data for longer than is required for the purpose it was collected for (with some exceptions where it can be kept longer).

If you have paid for digital goods with an account, the data is clearly required! Deleting an inactive account after say a year is a choice made by the company, not directly imposed by GDPR.
I think a lot of the libertarian techies are still pretty libertarian. One thing about social media (Twitter especially, but Mastodon, too, partly because of a concentration of people from Twitter) is the exaggeration of positions and the conflation of markers for actual beliefs. Like someone will agree with a Republican on leftist overreach and be branded a fascist, meanwhile maintaining a consistent opposition to far right political elements or figures. The latter is not ever retweeted by folks you follow, and folks who point this out are often mocked (and acknowledging it is avoided because we now see social media as platforms for meting out mob justice by calling out perceived wrongs via quote-tweets to our followers instead of trying to arrive at the truth), so a distorted view develops, and the same kind of ideological tribal epistemic closure that has existed among many on the right starts infecting the left and center-left because of the algorithmic and social dynamics of social media.
This is the real answer. Ego is greater than business, money, and code.
I agree that it's not phrased well. What are you going to do, revoke the ability to issue money... by fiat?

But the goal is a good one. Make the government afraid that if they abuse our trust, we'll turn our backs on their token and find ourselves a less problematic social contract to value.
We ditched our Tesla in favor of an e-tron because the Tesla controls were just not good. you should never need a touch screen for safety critical features like wipers. Also the whole touch screen can and did crash intermittently. The car will still works (e: when the touchscreen is down) but it is unsafe IMO. e-tron has traditional controls everywhere.

Why does it care if the application runs in a container?

When you run a project in a container, you mount the projects directory into the container.

That is nothing my editor cares about. It does not even know it. It works on the files locally on the host os and that's it. The the files are executed somewhere inside a container is none of the editors business.

I learned to do `:wq` after I learned that `:X` encrypts your file. When typing without really paying attention to the screen, I've twice encrypted my file with password like `cd tmp`, then saved the config file, breaking my system.

After that, I switched to `:wq` (and sometimes `:w` `:q`) which is much safer against over-typing.

"Rooting is pretty easy, only requiring a 3.3v USB UART Adapter and almost no disassembly. All warranty seals stay intact."

Very likely the device never existed or however was never used by the (Spanish) Inquisition, and surely not in the way it is described in the article.

Unlike the "iron maiden" that was probably "invented" in the 18th or even 19th century, this invention seems more recent, it seems that the first mention (and reproduction) of the Judas Cradle is dated 1983, by someone who organized a show (and created many "torture museums") of these reproductions.

Ippolito Marsili (Hippolytus de Marsiliis), cited as the "inventor" of the device, was a lawyer and law professor in Bologna at the end of the 15th century/begin of the 16th century and didn't invent anything, he simply wrote describing several methods of torture (but not AFAIK Judas Cradle):
