Great comment. But I have to disagree with "His narrative led to the coining of terms East and West, something that continues today (aka western world). Pejoratively Eastern Europe is just alien to Western Europe as the “Eastern world”, hence why Ukraine gets so much flack."

The current concept of Eastern Europe is firmly grounded on the notion of Cold War. The concept of Eastern Roman Empire has nothing to do with Eastern Communist Europe. I think your jump in connecting both strands is not at all justified.
I implemented number two as part of an encoding scheme a few months ago. I'm not sure how much it's saved in terms of database lookups but it's aesthetically pleasing to know it won't hit a more inscrutable error while trying to decode.

Hate and dislike are different things. Hate means you wish harm on them imo. In this case people are not only glad someone died, they are joking about more people like them dying. And i guarantee the majority are not even joking.

You can disapprove of people's decisions and dislike them for it but life is sacred and loss of it is not a cause for celebration.
This is super cool and I can’t wait to try it out. There’s more than one polyrhythm I’m trying to arrange, and being able to quickly hear it without having to come up with a sticking or arrangement would really help.

Like a few others already commented, I also disagree. Was at FB for 7 years, and now almost 2 years at a place with the “industry standard” things like slack / datadog / github / sourcegraph / (20+ other tools all disconnected from the rest and all behind SSO).

As a backend engineer, the dev experience was just incomparably better at FB. Some things I most most are probably phabricator / stacked diffs workflows, buck dep management with everything in a monorepo, deep integration across all the the tooling etc.

"It’s not at all arbitrary though," - Literally Windows 11's launch was filled with months of controversy because the developers admitted the 8th Gen cutoff was arbitrary. Later we got some theories that it might have been MBEC support but not all supported processors have MBEC.

> Their parents voted badly and they vote badly and then blame anyone but themselves in this democracy. Can't even blame billionaires controlling the media because everyone has a smartphone now.

That does seem like a very simplistic take. How do you fit climate change into that? Or rising inequality? Or opaque lobbying? Or, in the US, an electoral system that just gives two options to people? Or the housing market going bonkers almost everywhere?
These are offered more as an escape hatch in case the system doesn't do what you want automatically. But the goal is definitely for the system to do what you want automatically, so that no one ever has to provide these hints.

I actually argued against adding these hints at all, since it confuses the messaging and most people don't need them... but they were easy to add and solved an immediate problem for a few customers, so we did.

In other cases we've held firm. For example, some people have wanted to restrict their Workers to run in specific regions because the Worker made lots of requests to a specific back-end in that region. Instead of actually offering explicit hints, we built a system to detect this automatically: https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-workers-smart-placeme...

In any case, most people don't have to think about regions on Workers, and for the few that do, our goal is to change that.

(I'm the tech lead for Cloudflare Workers.)
I'm somewhat offended on behalf of OpenBSD! doas is a good program written for good reasons (cf. https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/doas). Suckless sudo would ensure it was as painful as possible to use, so suckless fans feel like cool sysadmin hackers setting it up. (Just compile in the permitted uids lol!)
Just a suggestion: drop these providers
There's already a bunch of ways to make "something close to Turing Complete CSS", but there's usually some caveat.

This change, when applied with css transition to split commands, would allow you to create loops, and enable you to implement the commands MOV, JMP, INC, and DEC. It should be possible to compile an arbitrary C program with just those commands (some papers have shown just MOV will do). In the most inefficient scenario, you should be able to draw a series of AND/OR and NOT/NAND gates to a HTML document, and colour in different outputs based on their inputs.

So CSS should be Turing Complete without caveats after this feature is introduced. I'm not sure what the output of such an application could be. I guess just the satisfaction of knowing that some computation is occurring, if that counts?
Oof. By the end of the month that may climb all the way up to 0.30USD. /s

In my neighborhood, if we got to the point where there was a car in every garage instead of 2-4 cars per house, we'd be doing great.

(Also, if it stays in the garage most of the time, it doesn't really harm anyone. I think that's only common for retired people, though?)

I don't know how to price it. Most people don't really think about it that way.
That is because Mies van der Rohe designed modern architecture in a more appealing way than Le Corbusier - Le Corbusier was a brutalist, while van der Rohe was not.

“never appearing within clear view of cameras” - the signal to noise ratio is abysmal, but they have and do.

Thing is, accepting the idea of the extraordinary and inexplicable is rather difficult for humans. Doug Adams explained it pretty succinctly with his idea of the “somebody else’s problem” field, whereby you could paint a mountain bright pink, and it would become invisible to a majority of observers through its sheer jarring improbability and discontinuity with core beliefs about the nature of things.

My background is physics. I’m well versed in “weird but explicable stuff”, I don’t take anything on faith, and I have seen, with multiple witnesses, a truly inexplicable thing, without resorting to what a big part of me still regards as mummery. We all saw the same thing. We all talked about it, puzzled over it, frantically checked the news for an explanation.

The thing is, the people who I was with at the time, they all remember the incident, the sonic booms… and seeing a helicopter in distress, which was the story in the press later that day. The shift to “it was a helicopter” was amazingly quick.

It wasn’t a helicopter. I know what I saw - or rather, I know that I saw something that was absolutely not a helicopter, that fighter jets approached to then have disappear in a sudden cloud - and yet, a big, big part of me yearns to believe that I saw a helicopter, as the alternative is… well, posting stuff that you’ll read and will go “this guy is clearly nuts”, and me being inclined to agree, as again, it isn’t comforting in the slightest to hold in your mind the knowledge that things are not quite as they appear.

There’s even footage of the thing, freely available on YouTube, and there’s evidently no point in anyone removing it or so-forth, as anyone who thinks it’s real is clearly crazy.

I haven’t been quite the same since.

I'd be very surprised if it weren't something like an mDNS query with a high timeout. Which is it's own problem (ideally it'd be async), but a far cry from it trying to access something on the internet.

Steel is not recycled by consumers. You cannot put steel in a recycling bin.

You _ may_ be able to take steel to a resource recovery centre. However if the travel uses oil or electricity that comes from coal, I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended up being worse for the environment than a PET bottle.

With regards to leaching, the FDA has declared PET bottles safe for repeated use.
Its gone past the point where people can just brush it off as the rantings of a crank. Congress are troubled about it. If there are organisations gathering alien tech without oversite and covertly, then imagine what they could do with it if they managed to activate or replicate it? They could sell it to enemies, use it for themselves, subvert governments. Congress have probably concluded that as well and are rightly alarmed.

> there are a lot of false documents and reports that are sitting around AND highly classified

Exactly this.

I saw a youtube video a while ago about a recently declassified document from the US Navy which says the USS Seawolf reported hearing signals from survivors on the USS Thresher more than a day after the Thresher went missing. The sonar operators on the Seawolf, no doubt well trained professionals, had themselves convinced they heard the Thresher and there were people still left alive. The guy who made the video about this document was very excited; "the US Navy hid this from from us! They told us the Thresher guys died instantly."

But the problem is the Thresher sank in about 2.6 km of water, far deeper than any military submarine can possibly withstand. Furthermore there is declassified video footage of the Thresher's hull on the sea floor, shattered into numerous pieces. There were no pings from the Thresher's sonar; the Seawolf crew were simply mistaken. The report was classified but that doesn't mean it was true.

[Video link deliberately omitted, but you can find it by searching "37 pings"]
There doesn't appear to be any aerodynamic fairings used. I wonder how much efficient they could get with some drag reduction...
They could have identified defects with non-destructive testing, but they almost certainly would have found a huge number of them, and had no way to reliably model the importance/potential impact of them.

Not in out 5 year experience trying to use with GeneNetwork.org to share large and small datasets. IPSF is marketed as simple but is complex—or even over-engineered from some perspectives. Hate to say it, but Dropbox is much easier and stable.

You'd have to try the service and test the IP addresses to be sure, but yeah maybe it's running on Fly. Or any other cloud network(s) with servers in those locations, which could be any (or multiple) of them - it's a fairly common set of regions.

The reason most cloud providers have overlapping datacenter locations is generally explainable by the fact that they all rent space in the same physical buildings (e.g. an Equinix datacenter), where they peer with each other and classify the building as an "internet exchange point" (IXP). These buildings tend to congregate near each other for historical or geographical reasons, like proximity to the landing terminal of an undersea cable, or inheriting a building from the old DARPA network.

It's actually quite annoying how clouds will label their region e.g. "gcp-eu-1," but it's actually just a reference to some rack space that Google rents in the same London Equinix datacenter as AWS and Azure.
That's what I'm getting at a little bit. Everybody wants to be the business owner and then demand that cheap labour should materialize, ready to work for them. Ideally working just during the season when they're needed and then get lost.

They need a constant stream of desperate people to abuse in order for that business model to work out - and I guess that's why farming historically has been the main industry for slavery. Or a family business where the profits of cheap labour one day ends up in the hands of the labourer when he inherits the farm.

All mathematical formulas can be inter-converted based on the identity:

e^(x + i*y) = 2^(x/ln2) * 1^(y/2Pi)

Most formulae from textbooks are written in such a way to be simpler with e^x and its inverse, but it is almost always possible to move the constants ln2 and 2Pi between various equations so that in the end they will disappear from most relations, with the exception of the derivation or integration formulae.

In most applications, more equations are simplified than those which become more complicated.

A very important advantage of 2^x and 1^x versus e^x is that for the former the reductions of the argument to the principal range where the function is approximated by a polynomial can be done with perfect accuracy and very quickly, unlike for the latter. Moreover, for the former it is easy to verify the accuracy of any approximation, because for any argument that is represented as a binary number the functions 2^x and 1^x can be computed with a finite number of sqrt invocations (based on the formulae for half angle) and sqrt can be computed with any number of desired digits. Computing e^x with an arbitrary precision is trickier, because it requires criteria for truncation of an infinite series.

It should be noted that 1^1.0 = 1, 1^0.5 = -1, 1^0.25 = i, 1^0.75 = -i
I am not asking about the tech. I know it. I did VictoriaMetrics exclusively for 2 years. I submitted bug fixes to them. I wrote a metrics duplicator loadbalancer with local buffer which stood before vminsert to get HA without paying VM for license. I was ingesting 400Mbits per second of metrics from 20 teams, hundreds of apps.

I am asking if you got the queries good enough to alert L3 directly.

But I'm not really asking, and you did not really miss understood my questions either. We both know the answer.
Every witness says there's not a chance in Hell that UFOs are human. But no one reports seeing aliens except abductees.

People desperately want to believe aliens aren't real, and some real mental gymnastics to get there. Like believing "debunking" videos from crackpots and videogame programmers (which real pilots say are nonsensical), or "this one time in the 60s the CIA".
The subs protesting should essentially have a lead sub that randomly just says tomorrow is a blackout day within 24 hours. Maybe do it during big sporting events, or anything that might drive up Reddit traffic normally.

Or they could monitor activity and when activity is the same as it was before blackout go dark for six hours then go back up. Essentially throttling the subs online members count.
> But if p2p exit nodes were orders of magnitude more common, then the burden of proof would indisputably be the responsibility of the prosecutors, since anyone could credibly claim "someone else did it."

I think I'm more cynical about our justice system, but the way I see it, this just gives them ammunition to go after anybody on a whim. Simply getting tangled up in the justice system, even if innocent, is an expensive and stressful thing. Most of us do not have the resources to just have a dedicated team of lawyers taking care of everything. So if everyone was running a Tor exit node, and it was known that there was CSAM accessed through some of them, an overzealous prosecutor could probably push through at least a search warrant of your computers because as a Tor exit node runner, there's a reasonable chance that CSAM was accessed via your node. You're not getting your stuff back for a while if that happens.

Very few of the people praising Corbusier actually choose to live between his concrete slabs when given the opportunity.

After such a large part of the population is complaining about the state of modern architecture, I have no idea why the industry keeps going down the same pseudo-intellectual routes.
I apologize for not being clear, but it was somewhat intentional because I didn't want to get dragged down into arguing about a specific ORM if I made too concrete of an example.

What I'm thinking of is situations where you might have multiple queries/statements that need to be done together within a transaction. Depending on exactly what your ORM's API is like, it may or may not be easy to run a piece of ORM-using code with a piece of Raw-SQL-using code inside the same transaction at that "application edge".

It can also be especially tricky if the ORM in question is one of those real heavyweight solutions that does caching, "dirty" checks for updates, etc. You have to be careful if you ever mix Raw-SQL functions with ORM functions in a use-case.

So, those are the kinds of things I mean. This probably isn't much of an issue for more lightweight, simple, ORMs, but it's an issue I've run into with at least one of the big, heavyweight, ones.
No, that's not the reason space computers are behind.

Space computers are behind because space technology is based on minimizing risk given the large cost of failure. Using older nodes with well-understood flaws that can be built using old chip equipment is much lower risk than trying to put Intel's latest into a communications satellite.

Few things in space truly would require anything state of the art. The best argument I can think of would be realtime image processing using DNNs- imagine you made a fleet of 1M identical exploration bots and you wanted them to filter out most of their imaging data before sending back the best candidates.
I don't have any data on it but I think people gradually came to accept the slower loading times as a reasonable cost, in return they got true multimedia and the fat client experience (first with flash, then jquery and so on) which was impossible in hypermedia.

Currently node unifies (or seems to unify) the FE and BE into something that looks pretty worrying (or rather alien) to someone who grew up with LAMP stack and CGI for dynamic content.

Enter htmx to turn the tide again.

Browsers are ridiculously fast. People just add more and more until they hit the wall where they need to start optimizing. For someone trying to get things done, that’s probably the right method. But it means that ultimately what determines how fast your program runs is not how fast your computer runs, but how much delay you’re okay with.

The key seems to be based on UUIDv7, starting with a timestamp in milliseconds.

So the order can become out of sync if multiple events happen in the same millisecond; or if your servers' clock error is greater than a millisecond (i.e. if you're an NTP user)

More than sufficient for things like ordering tweets. If you're ordering bank account transactions, well, you'd probably be using transactions in an ACID-compliant relational database.
