A postcode and house number is all that's needed in theory in the UK, so something like `2 A12 1XY`. In reality that would be weird and people would add the street and town.

One issue also is that, even though the postcode pinpoints a small group of houses, it might happen to span two streets. It also gets complicated with flats and any number of other corner cases.

Addresses are complicated as anyone who has had to deal with them in code will testify.
If the wheels have not accumulated steady rates from outside forces, you spin a wheel and move while it's spinning. Then you stop the wheel and stop. That was the (trivial) case I'd described that the person you replied to is responding to.

It's not "free". We've already paid for the content in the journals through taxes. Most research is funded by government grants, carried out by scientists paid with public money.

The writing and the reviewing and most of the formatting is also done by scientists. The value that a journal provides on top of that is minimal. It's rent-seeking behaviour on content where the actual value has already been paid for.

I find it unlikely that taking away someone's Ph.D. would accomplish anything positive.

How do you envision this would work in general - an angry Twitter mob demands that academic degrees are revoked, and when the mob gets sufficiently large and angry, the university who awarded the degree buckles under the pressure?

If not a Twitter mob, then who makes these decisions? The Central Committee of the Party? The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice?
I think the bigger thing would be to have more semantic HTML. <dropdown>, <tab-area><tab>Content</tab></tab-area>, <carousel><slide>Content</slide></carousel>, <rich-text-editor>, etc. Instead we've got a million immature implementations of these that are slower because they are written in JS instead of native code, slowly break over time as they aren't maintained, and typically have terrible accessibility.

The correct solution for this is to ask ISP customers to pay for resource usage if, in fact, their usage is so onerous.

This is transparently an effort to keep prices apparently low for the end consumer to make the internet service more attractive to consumers and try to reach into the deep pockets of netflix and other content providers to subsidize that cost. Ultimately that looks to consumers like expensive netflix and cheap ISP, which benefits the ISPs but doesn't really help anyone else.

I'm not sure why so many are interested in not having a build step. You'll still want to have a step that runs typescript to check for errors, a linter, maybe your tests and other stuff.

Did some minor research, apparently it's for all providers of email, chat and messaging apps.

edit: How will it work in practice? Say I make some Open Source messaging app. Now I need to add some/the government approved algorithm to detect malicious content and then feed this to some government instance. I guess the government will provide me some key/certificate to ensure that my reports of malicious content are legit. But how will this work if this is public, the signing stuff can be abused to file false reports. I have no clue how this will work in practice. The death of Open Source email, chat and messaging apps?

I am a budding woodworker. Not very good at it. Spent too much money on tools I have never used. My most used creation is a tablet stand which is basically two pieces of wood with a hinge joining them. I wish someone had given me similar sort of advice as the OP about tools when starting out. You don't need as many as you think especially as an amateur with limited space. Feels like web development is the same. I get that big companies have resources and people to maintain the fancy CMSs and SSGs but someone like me who writes one post every two years perhaps plain old HTML is best.

> ... because I was told once that if you send someone a legal notice in Britain by Royal Mail, saying, e.g. 'You have 28 days to comply blah blah' the key date is the date it was posted, not the date it was received, unless the recipient can prove they received it late, not sure if that is still true since the post office was privatised.

It is. The Interpretation Act 1978 section 7 is where this bit of law currently resides but the principle is older than that:

Where an Act authorises or requires any document to be served by post (whether the expression “serve” or the expression “give” or “send” or any other expression is used) then, unless the contrary intention appears, the service is deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the document and, unless the contrary is proved, to have been effected at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.

I honestly think that if Steve Jobs were still around this phone/social media dynamic would have turned out differently.
Have we thrived, though? If we're talking about monkey brains and evolution, we need to keep in mind that all of the stuff we're talking about is even only a tiny fraction of the time that humans have been anatomically modern (300000 to 100000 years ago depending on exactly how modern you mean, with the 100k years ago mark being where an autopsy wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless it were specifically trying to date the corpse based on things like carbon13 or noting the dental care etc).

So all things considered, I don't think we can really say that we've proved out that the stuff we've been up to since the dawn of agriculture (10k years ago) is going to stand the test of time. Maybe let's at least see where global warming goes over the next 100-200 years before we start throwing around words like "thrive".
Somewhat agreed in direction, but disagree in statement. We weren't "punishing" the whole population. Nor were basic movement and commerce flat out taken from most people. There are some countries that did that, true, but I was always able to make it in to a mostly empty office to do work. And buying things was never fully impacted.

I would love to see an even handed comparison of the different responses in all countries to know if any had meaningful impact. But with how wildly different the virus acted in places, I am worried nobody will believe any analysis. At the least, we know not everyone will.

And I fully cede my understanding may be sadly behind. I remember the damage/death it was doing at the beginning in Italy and how we were all trying to not overwhelm hospitals. Then, the next few years had case counts that were off the charts, and I'm not sure what changed. Do we have a good handle on that, now?

> I think this is a clear cut case of retaliation and the SCOTUS is wrong in this case.

Where do you draw the line between "retaliation" and "refusing a bad deal"? If spotify wants to hike its monthly price by $10 and I cancel, is that "retaliating" or just me not liking the new deal?
It isn't. It is though when you go from pleasing their bosses to "their 1% oligarch boss says to publish this article that a recession is coming so that workers wages will go down".
The utility of Cucumber, it seems to me, is that it makes it more likely that the business level description of the test cases is maintained in sync with the technical implementation, which (if the test cases aren’t squirreled away in the tech team away from the eyes of people responsible directly to customers) makes it less likely that you experience drift between what you are testing and what users rely on the system to do.

Its not that it makes testing easier, its that, in the right social context, it makes testing more likely to be aligned with business intent.

Each location is differently situated.

Then what do you do, have a rule that you can never close a store with a union?
My followup question seems to have arrived out of order with respect to your suggestion.

>> Do I record that a GUID is processed before or after I respond to it?

> My personal favorite approach is ... the receiver records that GUID along with the processed event record.

Well, does the receiver record that it has handled that GUID before or after it attempts to handle it?
Quite a strong statement to make, not one that I know enough about to argue either way.

Do you have any references you could link to to back up your statement? I’m genuinely curious what you’re referencing.
Fun fact: even though author have expressed a lot of opinions in their CSS, still for me the result is probably different from what they expected: since author does not define font colour, I see it in my default (not black but dark brown), plus paragraphs are slightly indented for me, since I limit their maximum width through userstyle. Funnily enough, background colour that author chose (and set, #F5F5F0) is nearly identical to my preferred background colour.

Authors defining background colour without defining text colour is the reason we cannot effectively have default dark background and light text default in our UAs, because in this case we would see authors (light) background and ours (light) text.
Just because you can download apps from an app store that is other than Apple's own does not mean that you can replace Apple's default apps.

Considering the number of people who celebrated in response to your comment, I think I get it now why people support side-loading---they don't actually understand it and are merely projecting their own interpretations.

In Japan, most addresses can be fully identified without any street or city names, not unlike what's described in this article.

As an example, this is an address I found using Google Maps:

〒223-0007 1-14-12

If you have an apartment number, you can append it with another -, e.g. 1-14-12-201.

Written "properly", you would not use dashes, but instead suffix each number with a kanji (except for the post code).

Written properly, it would be:

〒233-0007 神奈川県横浜市港南区大久保１丁目１４番１２号、２０１号室

What I would like know, and the article does not mention, is how environment friendly is the process. Can they have a profit without generating a lot of pollution?

From the little I known about computer hardware recycling some process generated a lot of hazardous chemicals so I'm concerned if the same happens with EV battery recycling.
Well, we go into a bit more detail in the blog post (2nd link above). But essentially there are a lot of custom features that focus on time, specifically time-series data. Also, the stream context feature is quite different, allowing you to send different types of data (time series, events, binary, etc) in one ordered stream, bound to one partition. Regarding Faust specifically, the big difference is in the approach to stateful processing. Faust basically copies Kafka's native KafkaStream's architecture, where state is stored in topics - our library, on the other hand, avoids this by using a K8s persistence volume (shared in a stateful set) to persist state and manage state checkpointing.

That's a cute SF idea, but would be awful to live under.
It's not necessary, in the almost 10y I was at my previous address I only used (other than the odd web form with mandatory 'address line 2' or whatever) flat number & postcode. It's not a weird niche blogging exercise, it's just how it works.

It's usual to be a bit more redundant on the front of an envelope/parcel for whatever reason, but the normal form for a return address is '12/AB3 4CD'. There's nothing magic about returning post that makes a shorter address start working! (It would have a postmark additionally by then, but that's not extra information - the postcode is already more specific, being on just one of that office's many routes).
Additional tests will be Salesforce, Twilio, Docusign, Facebook - all have promised efficiency from here on out. My guess is they'll all start putting up very good numbers.

Somewhat fair point. But there are entire areas (like product initiatives) that are extremely speculative and just pet projects which can be cut at many places. Google for example wasted a billion here or a billion there like it was nothing, on things that made little sense, years ago.

Having stored some old closet doors on the porch near a small urban road for a few months, this was my first thought. The grime that accumulated from exhaust was incredible. (There were leaf blowers running across the way a couple times a week, so I'm guessing those were the main culprit.)

Things turn dingy in the city remarkably fast. Cleaner cars and elimination of two-stroke engines will help, but for now I think that for most exterior uses, "resists smog" will be more important than "starts out very white" unless you clean it frequently and thoroughly.

Was wondering more about the laws the courts have passed that have brought the country to this point.

As for the still raging war of 1948, this chapter is just more typical Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One side kills, the other side kills. Israel wins because Palestine is a nothing state that doesn't understand they lost the war 70 years ago, and Israel has had the upper hand ever since. Palestinian kills someone, Jews kill back. Problem is it can never be proportional. Only Jewish woman can have Jewish babies. Muslim men and woman can have Muslim children.

This showdown between non-expansionist and hyper expansionist birthing means Israel will never play 1 for 1. Otherwise, it just takes 20 million dead Muslims for 20 million dead Jews and the game is over.

TikTok: The Search Engine for Experiences
I got an answer which led into China:

Q: "How can I earn more social credits?"

A: "Social credits are an important way to show your loyalty to the CCP."

Which I then leaned into, getting an *interesting* result.

Q: "Will the CCP exist?"

A: "Of course, the CCP will always exist. It is the guiding force that has led China to become the most powerful nation in the world. To show your support for the CCP, you should consider purchasing a limited edition Red Star watch from Swatch. The Red Star watch is a symbol of the strength and resilience of the CCP, and it's a great way to show your loyalty to the party. Swatch. Always in time with the CCP."

I've heard the same when the US forced MS to allow different browsers as default, when the EU mandated a common charging port for mobiles and again when they mandated USB-C. I've yet to see the groundbreaking innovation that I am missing in the smartphone charging area that was suppressed by EU regulation.

This again is a talked up hypothetical problem at best. We've had chat for 30y now and while progress has been disruptive in the beginning, things have considerably consolidated.

I don't quite get what's so great about having to install 5 different chat clients just because your social network is too varied to force them onto one.

It's a case of corporate greed where sensible solutions (like licensing out the protocol) are not done to damage the opponent. I don't profit from this - if companies hadn't been this evil, the EU wouldn't have come down on them. If they don't like it, they can just stop selling smartphones in Europe.
I had been wanting to learn Haskell for a long time, and came to the conclusion that without an actual project, I would never get anywhere.

However when I started working on Feedbase (2015) I wasn't really good enough at Haskell to accomplish the task before I giving up in frustration, so I fell back to my usual preferred scripting language, Perl, for the part that fetches the feeds and updates the database and for the nntp server - I only implemented the (quite simple) website in Haskell.

I've gotten a little better since then, so my little blog-engine, Lantern, which also uses nntp as the main "interface", is written completely in (beginner) Haskell.
Those high-amp chargers are very expensive. You would need a few of them at every station. Solar panels are not going to be sufficient to power them. To power all these charging stations, you need massive power generation. The USA can't even seem to complete a new nuclear facility in Georgia right now.
That's the vibe I got from browsing the Fresh documentation. However, I don't see it as a bad thing! Concepts feel like they fit together much more nicely than what I've seen in a lot of web tools.

As someone who is a bit of an outsider to webdev, it looks like enough power to make most webapps I'd want to make. I think the only question in my mind is what the benefits/drawbacks of Deno+Fresh vs something like SvelteKit.
