The mission of Cloudflare is to build a better internet. In what ways does blocking nameserver changes help build a better internet?

It actually builds a worse internet. One that is closed to the exchange of information and services. One in which Cloudflare, an entity that allegedly helps build a better internet, would not even exist.

You know full well, that if all domain registrars had prevented nameserver changes to Cloudflare, that Cloudflare would not exist. In this context, you could forgive a skeptic for suggesting that "building a better internet" is just empty corporate speak.

Let's now consider the business case for domain registration. You mention that it is at cost as far as ICANN fees and registry fees are concerned. But you incur payment processing fees and customer support fees that would place an undue business burden that would generate a loss.

For payment processing fees, let's assume one to two percent. Cloudflare domain registration for the dot com registry including ICANN fee currently stands at $9.15.

One percent is $0.0915 or let's just say a dime. Two percent is $0.183 or let's just say a quarter. Registrants would surely not mind paying an extra dime or quarter to cover payment processing costs. Heck, you could just round it up to an even $10.

If your intention is indeed lead generation for your other services, it would actually make even more business sense to have this slightly higher price as a lead qualifier. Do you think a potential customer that is price sensitive for a few cents on domain registration is likely to purchase your other services?

As for customer support, if the user changes the nameservers to another provider, by definition, that user will have to get support for dns records and all other issues from that provider. In other words, there would not be much custom to support.

So, if payment processing and customer support are your key arguments against blocking nameserver changes, respectfully, they are tangential and inconsequential. If there are some more relevant and consequential arguments for blocking nameserver changes, out of curiosity, please share those with us. Thanks.

Honestly this is a valid concern. I am not knocking AWS and they are working with us but $100000 in one week from bad code in a Java service is really nerve racking. For the record the only reason I use AWS over other clouds is because they actually work with you when stuff like this happens. ( Its taking a long time but we are hopeful)
I doubt you could even get English and American communities to agree let alone Chinese and Swedes. A lot of what we see is steered by extremely Americanised morality and laws. As a Dane it feels off and I'm sure for people from China, India, and other places very different than here it must feel even more so.

A "baseline" where, as mentioned above, misogynistic, racist behaviour isn't allowed sounds easy. But is it though? You take what Nazis and racists have said for ages and put "Russian" instead of their victim of choice and suddenly most Americans will agree that's fine behaviour "because Ukraine".

How about age limits, alcohol, sex? Hell, even Americans couldn't agree on a baseline in those.

I don't know if you're American but as I said I'm not and the internet has teached me how to behave as one online to not be caught in strange Americanised moderation rules. That's not agreement but enforcement that's caused this and if asked I would vote No to those rules.

It was, the whole idea of it not being profitable is garbage. They just horribly mismanaged everything, they had to have borrowed too much money from the wrong people or something. People would throw money at reddit and if reddit came out and said they needed to raise prices on gold again people would still pay.

Ive only bought maybe three apps ever and i would have paid to keep reddit how it was pre new reddit without ads or suggested subs. Thats why i paid for Apollo.
> Out of interest, just who do you think should be doing the high level architecture?

People who will maintain it have more interest in keeping it maintainable, rather than architects that won't actually do any of the work to maintain it, and will not learn from their mistakes.
Super speedy is right. Wow. Loading GitHub after loading the docs was a true case of whiplash. Really goes to show how bloated and inefficient the Internet currently is.
Holy Shit this is bad news. I really hope Apple doesn't show this dialog for all deprecated APIs, because for a lot of them there just isn't an alternative.

Apple has a history of deprecating APIs, and then not shipping a suitable replacement, or shipping a broken replacement.

For example, the SecKeychainSetUserInteractionAllowed function, which disables password prompts when trying to fetch passwords from the keychain, has been deprecated for a few years. So I replaced it with the new method to disable UI. But the new method stopped working suddenly after a minor update! It just showed the UI anyway! This led to a bug where my app kept showing the dialog again and again.

The only fix was to revert back to the deprecated API, which still seems to work.

If Apple wants developers to stop using "deprecated" APIs, they need to start shipping replacement APIs that actually work.
What I don't understand is why they have not auto migrated all customer data to the closest region. Why ask the customers to do this migration instead of transparently handling it for them? yes the cost may be different but this was their decision, they should absorb these costs until the customers decide.

Pick one. Weev is basically your standard Neo Nazi openly calling for the genocide of non whites. That “hilarious” trolling was a recruitment drive to enlist more people to that cause. That’s like saying Nazi Germany was a whimsical and silly place. You don’t give a shit because you’re not the butt of the joke.

So how do you protect your kid on the internet if popular social media sites don't flag or moderate away pornography or animal torture or the like? The only possible option I see is to become a helicopter parent.

I should note on the other hand that I don't understand why pornography is such a proeminent issue in these discussions. As a teenager, I definitely consumed porn (as I suspect the vast majority have) and no damage has come to me.
There are plenty of things we don't let people create because of their harm or risk of harm. You're not allowed to create a nuclear or chemical weapon, for instance. And, no matter how much your artistic soul desires it, you're probably not allowed to create a snuff film.

> The deleterious effects of PFAS on the body are well established.

Which PFAS? At what concentrations? What's the effect size? QALY loss per person affected?

> What are you gaining from being dissembling about this entire thing? What about it rubs you the wrong way so much that you’re rationalizing its ills by spreading falsehoods?

These insinuations are horrible and unnecessary. Stop attacking the motives of people who question something, that's very much against the hacker spirit.

Many people just like questioning everything, particularly things others seem to care deeply about.
A former Foreign Minister of Poland (the equivalent of the Secretary of State) called it "slaving for the Americans".

It was all a part of a plan to ensure that Russia does not colonize the country again, together with things like the Giedroyc doctrine (Ukraine-Lithuania-Belarus doctrine, i.e. establishing strong, democratic buffer zones). Similar reasons caused another government of Poland to allow the CIA to torture people in black sites in north-eastern Poland.

All in all the strategy has worked pretty damn good so far.
> Machines like these are a huge investment, so as long as they are still working flawlessly

I worked at a Colgate manufacturing facility. They had an NJ plant that had mechanical production lines. They've been running for 40 years so by the time i was there they were running flawlessly day in and day out and no matter what went wrong the maintenance crew knew how to fix it right away.

To save costs they shut down that plant and opened up a new one in SC with fancy brand new electronic machines that were supposed to have much better throughput. It took them years to get all the machines working and even still the old machines produced more in 8 hours than the new ones made in 12 hours. And whenever the was a problem with the machine it was always some wonky issue with the relays, sensors, and timing and we'd have sometimes days of downtime and would need OEMs to come in and fix it.

They wasted millions on that move which was supposed to save money and be more efficient. Many were fired/demoted from that.
Insisting on fixing burden of proof according to reasonable and customary rules is how we bring information from honest and forthright discussion partners into scope where their thoughts can be fully considered and guard our time from unserious, dishonest, or ridiculous individuals who sap our time and will by insisting that unreasonable meritless ideas spun with a minimum of effort demand profound effort on our part to disprove what they never bothered to prove in the first place.

If you tell me the moon is made of cheese my rebuttal isn't going to be to launch a manned mission I'm going to tightly flip it on you.

This isn't intellectually dishonest. The fact for instance that our ability to understand the underlying reality if any may be limited doesn't mean that every proposition is equally valid. You entire life has been built on picking the most likely explanation for a set of inputs received. It's how your ancestors didn't get eaten by animals.

> The pre-main runtime doesn't do much

This only applies to C++, but the CRT runs all constructors of global variables before main/WinMain. (Or rather, the CRT calls a special function that the compiler generates for this purpose and links into the executable.) In some codebases, that's quite a lot of stuff.
That was the initial rumor; this is an article about an official announcement by the company confirming it. Not a dupe.
Those are toxic. There are no known negative health effects from pfas or microplastics.
It's not a comparison. It's an analogy. This is actually a pretty important distinction because analogies are vital for illustrating concepts in a more concrete way; it's why we got drilled and tested on analogies again and again in school.

But let me try again without making an analogy:

Some percentage of people do X and therefore try to justify doing X.

But another percentage of people think X is justified and therefore do X.

You do not appear to make a distinction between these two cases. You lump the latter in with the former and then dismiss their views out of hand.

This is such bad logic that I am beginning to suspect that you are are actually being a hypocrite here: that you dislike drug users emotionally, and so you are trying extra hard to justify that dislike intellectually, even when it requires blatantly fallacious reasoning. (And, dammit, here I ended up making another analogy, albeit hopefully subtly enough that you don't accuse me of comparing you to a criminal.)

Many interesting points in that talk. I have a question for the knowledgeable:

The author mentions that the C CPU and memory model is based on a single-core, linear-memory background that belies the complex internals of modern CPUs. Then he mentions Rust as an example of a departure from that model. How is Rust better able to utilize modern CPU features (multi-core, pipelined, out-of-order...) and GPU?
Can you elaborate on where the problems would be?

I'm from Denmark (which, admittedly, I understand is on the lax side of things as far as Europe goes), but I can't see what would stop you. If you want to close your company or office for strategic purposes, you just say so and fire the people as per the terms of their contract, which'll mean three months notice in most cases. Same with cutbacks, you can just do it. You can't fire someone without notice or for no reason, but "we don't need this work to be done here anymore" is of course a perfectly valid reason. At least that's my impression.

> So, before we can get funding for treatment we need public will, right?

Again, that's a different problem entirely.

In my Country healthcare is public and funded by taxation.

We also have publicly funded damage reduction centers where they provide methadone to heroin addicts, problem is most of the time they do not show up voluntarily because of the stigma associated with it, secondly because those willingly participating are already in recover and take it to minimize the effects of abstinence. They are already on the path of healing.

> So long as they are viewed as degenerates unwilling to engage in basic care

They aren't all degenerates, you are putting emphasis on something no one ever said, but they are obviously unwilling or they would not need special treatments.

If they are able to take care of themselves, they don't need external help.

But only a very small minority is.

> A key is to not permit use in rooms but only at safe sites within the building

Which, again, as I've said before, is exactly why they do not need "4 walls with privacy"

Methadone is permitted only in person and they have to assume it in the facility that provides it under medical check, otherwise the first thing most of them would do is trade the methadone with something else.

> Rule violation would mean switching to a monitored room

That's the one thing that makes everything worse: basically it's an house arrest. We do not arrest as many addicts as in the US, but we still have jails full of people that used drugs that would be much better of somewhere else outside a cell (which basically is the 4 walls with privacy minus the drugs plus the suicide opportunity)

> The truth is we need to stop the problem before it starts and the only real way is to prevent traumas

We need to do both.
The only two choices aren't "status-quo vs mediocrity", that's just a false dichotomy. Why can't people invent clean bio-energy, low-powered computation, space travel, cure for all kinds of cancer, or free desalination? Does every invention need to burn society down?

As a web dev who enjoys frontend web dev, I think I found the perfect personal website stack for building personal websites for other people.

Astro as SSG, UnoCSS / TailwindCSS for CSS, DecapCMS for CMS. Everything can be hosted for free out of Netlify, auth is handled for free, I can create custom content types for any sort of page or blog or portfolio wanted. Analytics can be done with Google or any amount of paid analytics services.

I recently used that stack for the first time and created a simple portfolio (+ cv & bio) website in a single day, closely mimicking the client's previous Wordpress site which was a broken mess, with a few design tweaks.

If I spent a while figuring out how automatic image compression works, then created a template for it, I'm pretty sure I could bring down the time for creating a totally new unique website down to maybe half a day, or sprinkle in some cooler stuff like a custom interactive frontpage element or something and get it done in the original timeframe.

Edit: Stack for my own website is very similar. But instead of a CMS I write everything straight into HTML.
Is more complicated than that. If those chemicals are lipophilic substances (attracted by fat) then cows should accumulate more. But if they are hydrophilic substances, attracted by water, we need to remember that lettuce is 96% water. One Kg of meat is rich energy food and not equivalent to Kg of lettuce. We would need to eat much more Kg of lettuce for the same.

As we are talking about chocolate pie I assume that they are lipohilic. But vegetables aren't an homogeneous group and some seeds and fruits have a lot of oil. We could find that meat is safer than some of them and expect a much higher variability inside the group than with meat.
I feel culture is meant to be shared.

I remember watching TV shows in the 90s and discussing each episode with friends. It was great.

In that case, I can’t think of a better advertisement for Ring. A doorbell camera with police on speed dial. Criminals know not to mess around because if Ring sees them doing anything funny an internationally recognized death squad will come knocking.
That fixes the problem, but goes in the wrong direction IMO. I argue that you actually should only use MessageBoxW, ignore all the macros, and just use wide strings whenever you interact with the OS. An Ansi-only program is broken in 2023, and actually has been for two decades.
But once you reach 109 times it rolls back to being coincidental right?

In any case, lets not be deemed offensive for harboring thoughts of rebellion against the overlords lest we be yeested from the platform for attempting to pique the curiosity of those not entirely lobotomized by the oppression machine yet. Such fallacious behaviours shall be left without scrutiny while we all dance together under a rainbow of landmines, minimum wage and proxy wars funded by alphabet companies ever-seeking to exercise greater and greater control of the human mind at scale.

Yes, let's strive not to offend others, for that way we will surely make the most progress, ignoring all prior knowledge and our very evolutionary mechanisms so we don't make lines on a page that induce rage in the untrained mind.

We've been using PFAS for 80 years now. Are the children of heavily exposed people actually contracting diphtheria or tetanus at measurably higher rates?

Again, the headline figure you're quoting sounds alarming, but if it's accurate and applicable to the broader population, then we should be seeing that effect outside the lab as well.
Yeah, I’m definitely speaking to hobby grade workholding but at about $1.5k that’s where this would be used anyways. Also why wouldn’t it be repeatable? If you have a stop set up on one “face” of the fractal vise, wouldn’t it always hold the item in the same configuration (at least theoretically)?

I’m not sure what mitee bite is but the other suggestions are not realistic. Side clamps wouldn't be able to hold something shaped like a 2D Christmas tree rigidly. Strap clamps are not nearly rigid enough even for hobby grade work. Toe clamps won’t work for anything rounded etc. All of the above can be held with the fractal vise.

Yes. A spare battery is cheap too.

You cannot swap it "live" though, phone needs to be shut off and then booted.

Also, there's no external loading hardware. So some logistics needed to get the spare batteries full.

If you have not watched the video, trabant00’s comment will sound somewhat odd. However, the presenter does indeed draw parallels between C and Colonialism around 17:25 into the video, the part about macOS is at roughly 25:30, and the “straight white men” part at around 30:25. Without this context I do think it is difficult to understand why trabant00 wrote what they wrote, especially as the video very much starts out on a much more technical note.
