One of the user cases listed - being able to send a large body of data to a server for it to encrypt (though it could be any sort of transformation, e.g. reformatting, encoding, format conversion, or even operations like "spell check" etc.) strongly suggests to me we don't need a new verb, but should simply redefine the expected behaviour for GET requests for when they do or don't have a body - even if it means there's a expectation and method for clients to first query servers whether they have that ability (as servers that don't support "search" will return an error if that verb is used, whereas servers, esp. proxies/load balancers etc, may well simply ignore the body if GET is used.).
And to not define caching semantics seems somewhat crazy - it's bound to result in implementations inventing their own (the obvious one would be to combine some hash of the body with the URL to uniquely identify the request).
This looks supremely cool. There's no price given, but I expect it to cost as much as a new car.

This is the kind of thing that makes me lose any hope in web browsers. Normal browsing is getting worse, web apps are still unable to provide a truly native-like experience. But instead of fixing these core problems, let's add yet another corner case API...
This seems like it would introduce a tremendous amount of work to solve a problem that basically does not exist. You can just handle your POST request idempotently. We should just live with the semantics we have.
> basically every human has been infected

A majority, maybe. Certainly not "basically every human".
Another way to think about it, if you're doing REST as it seems the author of this article seems to strive for is to introduce a "search resource". You'd then POST to e.g. POST /searches with the query in the body, and on the server side a search resource is created. The server performs the search query and returns the result with a search ID. To do the same search again just do a GET /searches/ID.
My problem with this is that there seem to be two related but not really correlated points of opinion:

1. How bad Covid was, like was it a big deal or not.

2. The effectiveness of the means we had at our disposal to do anything about it.

At least in the US everyone’s responses are highly correlated.

For example: if you think Covid is a big deal you think we should have taken all the measures we took and that relaxing restrictions was a mistake.

If you’re on the other team you feel like we shouldn’t have done the interventions and lockdowns because you think Covid is not that big a deal and is overhyped.

I feel most attracted to the group that agrees that Covid is a pretty big deal and very deadly and an incredible tragedy.

I also think that except for the vaccines we’ve never had much control over it at all, and that for the most part the various lockdowns and mandates were pretty pointless after the first few months had passed and we knew what we were dealing with.

Not much of a constituency for this point of view in the narrative, though I feel like it might be commonly held.
I really don't know. There are a few pieces that Pinnacle did on YouTube — the "pinball machine" ABC Monday Night Football open, for example — but it seems most did not survive or are not publicly available.

EDIT: Turns out that the director, Gerry Cook, has a youtube channel with quite a bit of his work shown there. In particular, there is a Heck Yes Productions demo reel, where at 1:50, there is a ring cam shot of a girl jumping rope. It is very similar to the ABC Baseball ring shot but done in the weeks following the baseball shot.

Too expensive. RRS would be the only consideration, and it's not a for-sure thing compared to other options.
But lockdowns don't solve it. Just delay it. Unless you're going to implement global lockdown (including all the developing countries), which will, almost guaranteed, cause more death than any natural disaster.
SwiftUI shines because you get to write Swift code and embrace the DSL

You'll never be able to write that kind of code with Zig, or C or C++, it's impossible: https://github.com/amosgyamfi/open-swiftui-animations

So the main advantage here would be to be able to consume your Zig code/libraries with your Swift application, and that does look interesting, so you could write your crossplatform app logic in Zig, and only use Swift the UI

That's the advantage that should be advertised, Kotlin tried with Kotlin-Native, seems like a good strategy

> 250K dead / year by 2050, 5 million / year or so by 2100.

Can that be fully offset by increase standards of living and improving healthcare/medicine? 250k is not a lot statistically on a global scale (and I really doubt the capability of these models to accurately predict what's going to happen in 50+ years)

> The tough part is that such models have a lot of uncertainty and that it is very well possible to be alive but to be utterly miserable.

I'm not saying it's going to be tough for a lot of people in some places. But I don't really see how for humanity as a whole it can be much more than a slowdown than potentially can be fully compensated by further technological progress. Of course increasing economic inequality can likely only make it worse rather than better

I agree. I was thinking today how during covid, my country was short of PPE for doctors and nurses. As were many countries

One policy failing in this instance, was our reduction of stockpiled PPE several years earlier.

Since COVID, there has been no discusion or suggestion of how to prepare better for next time

As a matter of fact, I think it is a shame that so few support ReactOS. The idea is grand and think about how many resources people are willing to invest into using, say, Linux as an alternative to Windows (I love Linux, by the way): If those resources were spent on ReactOS, the project would be flying in 5-10 years or so. Then we could perhaps have a well-designed, compatible, free "Windows".
Missing my grandmas funeral or my parents missing the birth of their granddaughter are not minor changes to a ‘preferred daily routine.’ Lockdowns were a not only a useless public health measure they caused additional damage on top of the damage the pandemic was doing. Plenty of smart people warned against lockdowns but those in power ignored them. Sorry not gonna let this stuff go.

Xbox live is mainly built on a custom VPN protocol. The only part they don't encrypt is their chat in order to allow "lawful intercept". This is a custom protocol to allow this at the level of TCP and UDP called VDP so that you can't really forget to flip the 'don't encrypt' flag for surveillance.

They also switched Skype to using a centralized system for signalling when they acquired it. It's still decentralized at the protocol level, simply Microsoft whitelists their own nodes as supernodes.
As in healthcare is very expensive over there and that most of it is tied to the employer.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.
Better still to use a hybrid inverter plus battery with an open API which you do not allow access to the 'net, instead accessing the things through a proxy like OpenHAB or HA. Isolate all your IoT equipment on a network which is blocked from accessing the 'net and use proxy applications for control and data visualisation.

I'm using a Fronius Symo GEN24 in this way, I can access all features through the API, it can not suddenly update itself without my knowledge or consent. I do not have a battery attached yet since these are too expensive still and I can sell any excess power at market rates for the coming 5 years. After that time I expect battery prices to have gone down so I'll probably get a set of batteries which should enable us to be mostly energy independent from spring to autumn.

did you even read the article? it describes why this is a bad idea — it’s not just your server that’s handling the request, it’s all the other middleboxes in between.
Yup. Not every human. Exposed? Maybe. Infected? Nope.
With POST, you can't know at a system level if it's safe to cache the response or not.
Huh? It's an obvious thing to do. If you have to drop a packet because your queues are full, any engineer with an IQ over 50 will pick the victim from the UDP packets, because the sender expects it might happen, and also because it won't necessary cause a retransmission - e.g. an RTP packet.

You're vastly overestimating Silicon Motion's market share. Samsung, Micron, Western Digital, SK Hynix(+Intel), and Kioxia all use in-house SSD controller designs for at least some of their product line. Among second-tier SSD brands that don't have in-house chip design or fabrication, Phison is dominant for high-performance consumer SSDs.

Speaking about SSD controllers in general: they do use off-the-shelf ARM CPU core designs (eg. Cortex-R series), but those are usually the least important IP blocks in the chip. The ARM CPU cores are mostly handling the control plane rather than the data plane, and the latter is what is performance-critical and power-hungry when pushing many GB/s.

I agree. Like my physical scars, the ones in my relationships still serve as a useful reminder. Injury is a fact of life and one we should become good at responding to. A comfortable and hassle-free life is virtually impossible (and perhaps not even desirable), so it appears to me that the injuries should be attended to, healed, learned from, then used as a symbol of that process to reflect on.

My condolences for your loss.

GP certainly exaggerated by labelling the situation as minor inconvenience. It was a major upheaval to all our lives. There is no arguing though that curfews can and did help - at least where conducted properly and with support of the populace (there's little hope if people are not even trying to cooperate though); the first "lockdown" (it was called like that but actually there were only curfews here) in Germany comes to mind - things went only downhill here after the first partially re-opened summer when different states and politicians discovered the situation as a way to compete with each other.

This is hindsight though. In the beginning there was no reliable information on transmission vectors or infectiousness and the lack of tests, drugs, vaccines and treatments (even simple things like positioning patients prone to make breathing easier) or simply protection equipment left imo little choice than to treat the situation as severe as possible (better save than sorry).

All in all I think that most of it was unavoidable, although I absolutely agree that this was in every way a situation that was hard to deal with for all of us.

An acquaintance of mine started a small "mommy" blog when she had her first baby and it grew so fast she was getting sponsorship deals. She got another kid after that and another .. and 7 more. She has now 10 kids and makes many hundred thousand euros a year with sponsorship deals.

She even monetized her kids illnesses as one has ADD, another has autism and she made videos with them about going to doctors and even filming inside the offices and clinics.

Her oldest is now 14 and refuses to go on camera anymore and some of the smaller kids got teased and bullied in school.

She then started to monetize herself more, had her nose, chin, lips and boobs surgically altered.

Truly sad to see her develop in a way that seems unhealthy for her kids and her own psyche (as she's also increasingly mentioning burnout and depression)
The article could be more clear. BI is just recycling other articles.

1. Wholesale spot energy prices don't include transmission charges and other non-energy costs.

2. Don't forget someone might've contracted for that power so regardless of the price, they have to physically or financially settle.
