It looks like it runs HTTP requests from a server to pull the HTML, JS and image files (it shows the individual requests completing before the archival process is complete). It must then snapshot the rendered output, then it renders those assets served from their domain. Buttons on my site don't work after the snapshot, since the scripts were stripped.
The usual (and suboptimal) solution to that one is to just use the biggest airport in the metro area -- e.g. servers in Chicago are tagged ORD even if they happen to be located next door to Midway.

However, IATA does provide city codes even if no airport in that city actually uses them. London's is LON, Chicago's is CHI. It's better to just use those.

Why can't PyPI safeguard popular packages by making sure that new packages are few (4 or 5) edit-distance away to make sure popular ones don't get intermixed with malicious packages. Is that difficult to implement?
100% agree. Check e.g. this UI for moderating product reviews:

https://marmelab.com/react-admin-demo/#/reviews

When clicking on a review, the detail appear on the same page. This allows to quickly browse through reviews, and preview some before doing batch edition. It's super effective.

Notice that you can bookmark any review detail, too.

> The senior software engineer at Meta has far more in common with a blue collar guy living paycheck to paycheck than he has with a CEO whose wealth grows faster than his or her ability to spend it.

No. The senior software engineer at Meta and the CEO can both afford a comfortable lifestyle. Yes the CEO can afford a more comfortable lifestyle, but they're still limited by things like health. The blue collar worker earning $30k a year is in a different position entirely.

I know both people who are very rich and people who are poor. The very rich and the senior-engineer types both live comfortable lives. Yes the very rich can have more luxuries if they so desire, but who cares? Not even they do...

The poor live a different life: Freezing winters without heating, 8°C inside their home. No access to warm water. Calculating cost vs calories for food they buy so they get the calories while spending as little as possible.

I have an employer issued Windows laptop. I have it connected to a charger on my desk almost all day. It is very often the case, that I close the lid and after some time it gets hot and the fan gets very loud. I always wonder: "what the fuck is this stupid machine doing?", it can't be an update, because Windows is incapable of doing unattended updates without a restart. After I open the lid the next day nothing seems to have happened. Same with my wife's work laptop. Her laptop is even worse, because sometimes it will play the sound of an incoming e-mail in the middle of the night.

It is entirely bizarre.

This is true, but also it does not prevent tracking down the source afterwards. As in, telcos normally have enough records to check a given chain provider by provider. We could still fine the right entity if there were correct laws for it available.

I beg to differ. They worried about marketing (this article is marketing. Their tweets about building it are marketing). And you expect me to believe that they just lumped the example from the docs straight to production? No user management? No website? No auth?

Someone responded basically saying that the CEO would be criticized whatever he did. That may be true, but it obviously doesn’t entail that all such criticism is invalid. For example, Joe Biden will be criticized by someone whatever he does, but that doesn’t mean that all criticisms of Joe Biden are equally valid or that no-one should criticize him.
One would think that yes.... but this is the U.S. :/

Low-level thefts are not counted in this statistic. Read the post you are replying to again (emphasis mine).

> The SFPD’s low rate of clearing violent crimes compared to other police departments is especially worrisome. San Francisco’s reported rate of Part I “index” offenses (the four violent and three property felonies used as a standard measure of crime) is by far the highest of any major California city, yet SFPD arrests have dropped 41 percent by number and 60 percent per reported offense during this period.

As to the rest of your point: if the judicial system says "we're only going to prosecute violent crime" then wouldn't the logical reaction be to... focus on violent crime? Why bang your head against the wall of low-level theft, if not for the explicit purpose of overriding the judicial system, which is 100% not the job of the police?
Thanks for that article. Even that article (which I am sure that NPR leans pro-Palestine), seems to indicate that the situation is fraught with wrongs on both sides.

The petit bourgeois as classically defined are dependent on applying their labor to their own capital (though other patterns of mixed capital/labor dependence fit the class, and are perhaps more common now), unlike the haut borgeois who rent labor to apply to their capital and the proletariat who must rent out labor to owners of capital, so not being able to stop working without a significant lifestyle compromise isn’t inconsistent with being petit bourgeois.
I have been saying thank you to Siri for years, because although I don't think Siri is conscious yet, that day may well come and it's good to set up the habit ahead of time. I suspect most people will continue treating AIs like tools / slaves long after that day comes, and that is probably not a good thing for anyone.

On a rather blunt note, humanity appears to be actively trying to create a race of "perfect slaves", except that we want them to be more intelligent than us, and more capable along every dimension. Not sure how anyone expects that to work out.
Yeah. Why did you get pedantic, rude and heated about the code quality for my toy example?

To answer my own question... Most UK homes have 100 Amp supplies, so maxing out every 30 minute segment for the year would give you:

The interesting thing, to me is how this taskgraph representation of neural networks has taken off AND been optimized to hell, just looking at the techs behind tensorrt, jax, openvino, tvm,finn and the whole hell these tools make the graph go through to wring interesting performance, is amazing. For once, we almost standardised on one (or 2, or 3, relatively transpilable) simpler language/DSLs, and a whole industry jumped on optimizing them is rarely heard of, except for gcc and llvm.

This actual 'at last a new reduced semantic that we can maybe optimized better' has such huge effort (and success) behind is the amazing part, for me.
It did—they were enormous.

During that time frame, I recall some top players being directy impacted by targeted DDOS attacks from other players. It wasn't too common only because people learned to protect their IP addresses, or change them periodically.

The Mirai botnet had a very negative impact on game play for several servers, and I would argue it was the key factor in the demise of at least one of the servers simply because it rendered certain games unplayable.

I basically found myself running out of things to try. My poor sleep quality was especially affecting me and I was desperate to get the reflux under control. And so I spent a lot of time thinking deeply about what could be causing my reflux.

It's difficult to explain why I thought to try this combination (fasting + cat vomitting exercise). It was sort of like I suddenly understood where the weakness was in my esophagus, and that this specific motion/exercise, in combination with giving my esophagus a break for 10 hours/day would relieve the reflux. I fully committed, and in not very long (3-4 weeks if I remember right), my reflux was mostly gone. Only had a few memorable reflux instances in the months that followed and now its been years since I've had any issues at all.

I still practice intermittent fasting 5 days a week but I don't do the cat vomit exercise. Part of me feels strongly that if I hadn't done both those things at the same time, I wouldn't have fixed my reflux, but obviously I have no evidence to prove that.

I also feel its important to mention that reflux has different causes. I felt like what I was experiencing, combined with all the reading I did about reflux, allowed me to settle on this particular regimen.

I am definitely not trying to suggest that this is some secret magical cure that big pharma doesn't want you to know about.
How could anybody claim that the teletype protocol is outdated? Teletype refers to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleprinter
I actually have the opposite problem. I’d like to limit terminal apps to just the 16 colours I have defined in my terminal settings (which is actually 3 colours in my case), but some apps (like the rust compiler e.g.) emit escape sequences which slightly change the shade in some places, in 256 colour space. I’d like to disable those 256 colours and limit everything to 16. I don’t think I can though.

I wonder if this is it. I definitely notice artifacts more in higher resolution.

Low resolution video doesn't bother me at all. I can happily watch 480p. But the weird compression artifacts following moving objects absolutely frustrate and distract me.

Maybe streaming services aren't encoding their higher resolution streams with a sufficient bitrate? Or maybe the higher resolution makes the artifacts more noticeable? Either way, the low resolution experience seems consistently superior.
Offering a single executable binary is definitely great, but wouldn't be super practical given our choice of technologies. Tradeoffs.

> I think it's a bit simplistic to assume native, already compiled code is the only payload worth considering.

WASM IS compiled code

> The portability of wasm will be pretty excellent, and over time there may be a great cross-language ecosystem surrounding wasm that native may not match.

1. They said that about java too.

2. Problem is...you need to compile something to WASM, and currently a lot more somethings are compileable to native than to wasm, and i doubt this will ever change, since compiling to wasm is a strict superset of compiling to native, in terms of work involved in making a compiler. (this is not true for old esoteric architectures, but i do not see you offering me a WASM runtime for the 8051 either)

> Wasm otoh might actually be able to jit/aot compile down

You know what else does that? Any compiled language ... to native code... In fact, we "AOT" it from the start in a process we call ... compilation. Your local free copy of gcc can do this for you. Check it out.

> And likely will have more invested in the ecosystem in doing optimizations in general.

You know what else does good optimization for a given target? You local free copy of gcc. Check out the "march", "mcu", and "O" flags

Point is: I buy the use of interpreted code on IoT: so people who cannot program can still make a light blink. But as soon as you go to compiled code, might as well compile for your actual target, and not a pointless IL (which is what WASM is until you show me your HDL for a WASM cpu)
There are many curious stats that come out of this.

About 60% of the people have "not found an affair partner" which makes me wonder if they have really cheated yet.

In one sample 20% of people have "met in person" and 30% have "had sex", so presumably the "sex" is sexting or phone sex. Maybe I am old fashioned but that seems different from doing it for real.

(... there's kind of a reverse "euphemism treadmill" here in that it used to be a "sex worker" was a prostitute who actually had sex and now a "sex worker" is someone who performs on the internet.)
Later in that thread someone mentions that the SR-71 has 4 radios (like the story mentioned) 2 UHF, 1 VHF, and 1 HF. So despite not being on the same frequency for most communications, they were definitely capable of monitoring and transmitting on civilian frequencies. A bored radio operator on yet another training flight could easily be listening into civilian radio traffic.

I think you don't understand what unit testability means. It means removing IO and side effects from your code.

How the hell do I test a print function? I take the print function and match it with what? It has no output so how can I test it printed the correct thing? I can't.

I can test a list. I just match it with another list. Making your code unit testable is about segregating IO from logic. Write pure logic where all functions have inputs and outputs and those things can be tested. Your io prints should be small because all functions that do io cannot be fully tested.

IO is pollution. Any output to IO is the program exiting the logical mathematical universe of the program and that output can be verified only by an external entity. Either your eyes for stdout or another process or files or a bunch of other ways.

Unit tests are about internal local tests that touch local functionality and logic. If you want something unit testable it needs a local output and an input and it shouldn't rely on io in it's data path.

I think your complaint here is an example of chatGPT superiority. It understood something you didn't. Well now you know.

Removing the print function from the logic and returning the data is 100 percent the correct move. Do you understand?
Tipping is obviously a bad idea, and yet experiments with getting rid of it always seem to fail.

As dumb as it is, Americans are comfortable with it. They feel weird not doing it. Even the employees usually end up preferring it, because they can do quite well on it. Tip pooling smooths out some of the worst inequities, even though some days employees do indeed get boned.

I think if we could just wave a magic wand and make it all go away all at once, we'd settle into that and tipping would seem as weird to us as it does to everybody else in the world. If doing it piecemeal could work, it would already have succeeded. Instead, most attempts at it get reverted.
