Asynchronous JavaScript in 2023 has become a critical skill for frontend developers in recent years, as it allows us to build highly responsive and performant web applications. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know to become a master of asynchronous JavaScript in 2023.
Awesome content. It's historical resource, because these are early days of polish game communities that along with demoscene gave grounds for polish game industry and projects like The Witcher
And how well did that work out for Alexander? His empire was fracturing before his body was cold, with his generals collaborating with existing local power structures to carve out their own fiefdoms. I don't think it's really possible to fairly compare the situations given the vast differences in technology, logistics, communication, etc, but you picked a rather poor case study to make your point.
This sounds backwards. Inside the atmosphere is a shitty place to observe from, and the cheap launch capacity here can throw up hundreds of Hubbles and James Webbs. We could also fit optics and radar on the Starlink constellations.

The idea this cheap satellites will somehow restrict our ability to observe anything seems odd.
> Tax the rich.

How do you define rich?
Much of inflation is being driven-by corporate concentration, so the answer is to not tax wealthy individuals but corporate profits at much higher rates:

If you make a claim about mass poverty and unemployment, you are making the extraordinary claim. The fact remains that extreme poverty has been trending down and is at record lows. If you argue for a dramatic change, you must provide evidence.

Claiming new automation and new technologies will affect poverty negatively is an extraordinary claim.

Everyone can agree that AI will dramatically lower food prices until they near the price of raw production, therefore it's pretty laughable to claim that the lowest food prices ever will coincide with more poverty.

It's a fundamentally Kaczynski-esque argument, that AI is evil and must be curtailed. Moreover, it's an argument that humans should be enslaved to agri fields, enslaved to cubicles and enslaved to dangerous oil rigs forever. Humans don't want to destroy their body toiling forever, they want to live.
This sounds like a gpt bot almost exactly?
Then when you want to use the AT protocol without a webserver, you would have to set a DNS entry (CNAME) that points to a service like Bluesky. So for users without a web server, it would stay the same amount of work.

And for others it would be just

When I was young, I amassed an extensive and impressive collection of vinyl both common and rare, bankrolled mostly by my saintly grandmother. I would stroll around the mall with her on a Sunday and pop into the Wherehouse or the indie record store, and enjoy chatting up a much older blonde clerk before filling my arms with more music than I could ever listen to during the ensuing week.

When I was older and shopped for myself, I'd drive my friends to Tower or the far-flung indie stores, and it was at the latter where I really developed a taste for the rare and near-unobtainables. Then I began to purchase Goldmine magazines, which was the sine qua non for collectors, and I got hooked up with "Record Finding Services" in the UK, which was some dude who'd walk into a store on your behalf and pick up something that wasn't even available on import in the US.

I don't know how many records in total I had, but I proudly boasted of over 100 items by The Cure alone. And you know that old question "Did you read all these books on your shelves?" well I did certainly get around to listening to almost all of the music... at least once.

When CDs came out I embraced the tech and branched out. That didn't entirely put an end to my vinyl purchases, as that was still where the rare and desirable stuff was at, for a long time.

Fast forward to my move to the desert, and in the throes of impending homelessness, I began to sell off my vinyl for pocket money. I wasn't able to keep this up and make rent on the storage locker. My records were eventually sold to the highest bidder. It was a tragedy to be sure.

Then I entered a period where I realized that I didn't need to consume massive amounts of music, and I didn't purchase anything. In fact, my choral activities gave me many opportunities to make my own music, such that it was much more interesting than passive grooving.

Fast forward to 2023: I don't own any device that plays music other than my computers. I have no turntable, no CD drive at all. My music purchases remain firmly at $0. The best music is all over YouTube as much as I want, and on-the-go I am very satisfied with public domain cuts of prayers, classical pieces, and ambient instrumentals while I work.

I am rather glad to be relieved of an insatiable thirst to consume new music; it was an expensive vice, and I was often exploited by my favorite artists as they released endless "collectibles" that I had to catch like Pokémon.
I believe this about Google wanting to see all emails. When I use my own email server (and I do), Google don't get to peek at my email when I communicate with people that are not on gmail. They don't get to see what's in the mail, and they don't get the meta-data like who I'm communication with.

This will stop only if/when EU gives Google an appropriate fine of a few billion $$$.
There's currently one in the vicinity. It would get worse as demand rises
Why does it have to go through the parks? And radio towers work just as well, it doesn't have to be a satellite hundreds of kilometres up in the sky. Ships already have access to internet through satellites already, there doesn't have to be even more

EDIT. I meant why does the fibre have to through parks as a reason for having starlink
But... What is Bluesky? What is a handle?
I’ve always bought cds to support artists i like, even during the napster days, and even now in the world of streaming.

I used to buy digipaks, since they were more limited, had cool artwork and more features. These days, i buy records for the same reason.

Mostly, it comes down to being able to own something physical that is well crafted and beautiful. Vinyl fits this well also, since you get things like limited press special vinyls etc.

I find myself buying more vinyl, and i’m also in the same boat as people in the article as i don’t have a record player (yet)
That's a lot of junk orbiting earth.
It's exactly the same for me. Yes, vinyl is more inconvenient, expensive and may even sound "worse" unless you have an expensive audio setup.

That said, the deliberate experience of sitting in your couch, doing/thinking nothing else but the music you're listening, is for me an invaluable ritual. It's like meditation.

I think the floating commute is a massive testament to the cleanliness of the river. I can't imagine swimming in a major city's river without feeling the need to decontaminate before heading into the office.
Also here in Western Australia - as the SKA is a widely distributed radio array and sits here in the Murchison exclusion zone [1].

The hope is that all constellation satellite operators (not just Starlink) will adjust their reflective profile to reduce the visual spectrum noise pollution and honor an agreement to shut down all comms when passing over radio astronomy exclusion zones.

> Now, it does sound like you were trying to run a whole bunch of rather heavy stuff on it—y'know, the stuff that one might call "pro", and possibly even buy a "pro" machine for? The kind of thing where if you're buying the absolute bottom of the line, you might be able to expect that it wouldn't work well.

That's nice, but I can buy a much cheaper non-"pro" computer with better specs that can handle a basic workload that involves a browser, IDE and maybe Docker. Like I've run all of that on entry level machines without a problem.
Safest way to start an enterprise SaaS startup is to have a buyer lined up before it’s founded.

The way to have a buyer before founding is to have worked at an established, profitable firm that has that exact problem, cannot build a solution themselves, and get a signed agreement from them to buy your future product. If you leave that firm and have that document, you can raise money, then use that money to hire a team, then build the product and fulfill the contract.

Getting into such a position requires an established career. Therefore safe, reliable entrepreneurs cannot possibly be college drop outs - they need to be established careerists with good connections who have entrepreneurial ambitions.
those orbits have zero coverage at greater than 53 degrees latitude

That's not actually true -- the horizon distance at those altitudes is several thousand km, and one degree of latitude is about 100km, so the satellites are actually visible quite far to the north of there. Of course, they'll be increasingly far away and close to the horizon, so not optimal for reception.
An excellent point. A prime example of this is "Captain Murphy - Duality", which currently costs 1300$ on Discogs. It's a record released in 2013 in limited copies with high unlikely chance it gets reissued due to sample clearance restrictions.
It's funny how in the early 2000's, everybody was selling their Technics and buying expensive Pionner CDJ 2000 (like $2000 a pair), and now the CDJs are basically worthless while a pair of MKII can fetch $1000 on Ebay.

Quite the turn-around.
Magnesium aluminum alloy, I won't touch plastic cases.
Why are you framing it as a hate Musk endeavour? So weird. It's pollute the sky because some people are on the hype train. The answer is already radio towers, they can be installed anywhere.

We have cheap fibre rolled out throughout South Africa, but now the Square Kilometre Array (which previously had complete radio silence) must deal with this nonsense flying overhead.
Your understanding of the physics is so bad I don't know where to start. Though for a first step where do you think that energy you extract from the water to turn it into ice goes?

If you want to use ice cubes they have to either be made in space, or you have to get extremely good radiative cooling to space.

There have been plenty of solutions proposed but the most favourable "solution" that has mostly been chosen is to make it the futures problem to figure out how to adapt.

> seriously, how impractical is it for sub-arctic nuclear power plants to convert ocean water into icebergs and...

Very impractical, to the point where I wonder if I'm missing some sarcasm in your comment. The amounts of water/ice involved are absolutely huge and due to basic thermodynamics you have to heat up some stuff to cool other stuff (and heat everything overall due to inefficiency). Even if it was doable, other approaches would be a lot easier and more effective.

What might be practical is spraying chemicals into the atmosphere (e.g. above the caps) or throwing tiny glass marbles on the ice to reflect more light and keep it from being ice-free in the summer.
The top 1% of that 1% pay almost nothing. This is what gets people all riled up about. And the 99% of the top 1% are the ones that pay.

Mostly because it expensive to get around taxes, something the 1% of the 1% can easily afford.
The constallations are spread for coverage and are in low earth orbits for signal strength, like sharks they have to stay in motion .. and many of the orbits are "precessing" .. they go about the earth and that great circle "ring" itself is turning - physics dictates that they go over all the surface sooner or later.

The SKA proposal is that comms constellation satellites switch themselves off (stop transmitting) when over the S.African and W.Australian SKA exclusion zones.

1. I think it needs an animation to show the pieces dropping — an important difference between connect 4 and tic-tac-toe is the role of gravity.

2. the win/lose popup appearing immediately is a bit jarring. It would be better to highlight the winning 'line' and put the "player two wins" message so it doesn't cover the board. The 'end game' button can then be re-labelled 'new game'

This will be weird/interesting. JP Morgan know what it's doing. It looked at First Republic's books before doing this. So either JP Morgan was wrong or there was a deal that they'll be made whole if First Republic goes under. It almost has to be the latter because JP Morgan's only incentive to make the deposit is promoting the appearance of financial stability.

I believe the current implementation of the network requires the satellite to see both you and a ground station at the same time. So ground stations are the limiting factor.
This is mainly from poor coverage of what happened with SVB. The main thing protected there was the value of long term bonds. Last thing that fed wanted was for those to plummet at auction. Not the large deposits that would have gone down with them.

It sounds counterintuitive, but it's not that hard to come up with an example.

Eh, most of the time, if you use private, what you really wanted was protected.

Private causes extensibility issues (no access to private fields in child classes). Not sure if the article addressed this or not because it's currently hugged to death.
The article seems quite practical.

She wants her users to be able to use Proxies over her classes. Private members make a class ineligible for proxying. So she'd rather use private-by-convention.
Not what I meant, amusingly. I seriously meant it as a question of what you think they should do? Funding consumers is somewhat fine, as far as money making goes. But our rules are made to drive to outcomes we want. So, what do we want banks doing?

I am working on a project which needs lots of RAM. It is just a search engine which needs lots of RAM to provide quick responses.
I was planning to stack such boards and have a cluster so I can horizontally scale the search engine. Are there any recommendations for such boards which support lots of RAM.
The only things that the board needs to support are a low-med end CPU such as i3, RAM (more the better), one SSD and an ethernet (100Mbit should be enough). Ideally I am planning to have a lots of such cheap boards and cluster them.

In the US at least, there’s not a lot of precedent for forcing a company to do something like that. (Yet.) Saying hand over your user’s files is demanding information. Compelling them to write and distribute malware is a lot closer to compelling speech. A 1st amendment problem.
Good points. Just to expand, I find with instant on digital music I never really listen to it with as much attention as vinyl.

In fact I love everything about vinyl except the sort durarion of each side, but even that makes me focus more closely on the experience. I know I'll have to turn it over shortly...

We are a small business (less than 100 employees). We have about 50 large paying customers. As soon as SVB happened we transferred almost all our money out of FRB to our other banks and only left a small amount of the money ($185k) under the ‘insurance cap’. But we still have payroll going out, we have deposits coming, etc. so we started transferring all that over. It’s not simply “not exceeding the insurance cap’. It’s a huge pain and takes a very long time since our customers are huge companies and updating our banking information with them is a long drawn out process.

Well, we transferred most of the customers over this last month, but one of the customers just yesterday made a deposit of $485k. $485k + $185k is well over the insurance limit. I believe it takes 3 days or so to clear so we wouldn’t have been able to transfer it out immediately. Maybe we can ask them to cancel it on Monday, i am not sure yet. As a small business our cash flow is very tight. We don’t have experts on the team to juggle multiple banks and make sure all deposits are less than $250k or watching out in case the bank fails the day after. Maybe there are tricks like you mention but most small businesses do not have experts on this stuff and I don’t think we should have to be.

Those are functioning communication satellites, not yet junk. At the end of their (fairly short) planned lifetimes, they will use their maneuvering thrusters to de-orbit. And even if that fails, they're in a low enough orbit that they'll naturally fall out of the sky and burn up in the atmosphere about a decade after launch. Do you have any further objections?

This article is doing a great job discussing browsers, but overlooks the real discussion which is about content.

Is there an alternative to the corporate ad-based web app model?

Is there merit to some of the forgotten early internet? Of course. Forums, for instance, are much better at retaining information than facebook groups. But there is no massive corporation making a huge profit off of forums.

And this is why while the internet could be infinitely better, we have very little say about it.
