If it does not affect other customers, and if it does not exceed the ISPs peering agreements such that they must spend extra to serve that bandwidth beyond what would pay normally...

Then how is it "excessive"? But even if it was, then the ISPs are ethically obligated to publish what they consider to be excessive so that its customers can avoid any penalties and/or animosity. Network bandwidth is by its very nature a commodity whose demand will only increase into the future, after all, and some people are "getting there first". They shouldn't be chastised as troublemakers or gluttonous or whatever.

It's kinda funny how I was talking with my wife and how she had noticed a while back how the question and answer pairs that have been added to search results are slightly "off" and how they are full of questions that nobody in their right mind would really ask.

I would contrast that to the spam question/answer farms that popped up in the early 2000's that actually did improve Google's question answering abilities and really did contain mad-lib generated questions that people would really ask, like

"What is the population of X?"

or

"If X and Y had a fight who would win?"

Market forces led these spammers to a certain minimal level of quality because they were in it for the money, could make more if their pages were indexed and ranked, and they knew they'd get canned if their efforts made Google look stupid.

In contrast to the questions Google inserts that cosplay as real questions but it doesn't matter if they are any good or not because Google is a monopoly so it doesn't matter if Google is any good or not or even looks stupid anymore.

The past 40+ years of CS research has created a huge number of tools for reducing the costs of memory safety. Some of these made it into Rust, but others are sitting in (often abandoned) academic projects. It is an abject failure of industry that we are still parsing untrusted input in languages like C.

WebP gets a slight pass because the code is so old; WebP is at least partly based on code from On2 that extends back at least until the early '00s. Rewriting working code is always going to be lower priority than writing new code (and it's not always a safety win either; being deployed for 10 years gets you an awful lot of real-world testing!).

But look at implementations for newer image formats and you see more of the same; C and C++ with the token java implementation that won't get used outside of the JVM.
Thank you for leveraging it.

but: Eric Dumazet came up with the flow queuing fast/slow queue concept in a single saturday afternoon in his hammock (after admittedly 9 months of hard work on every other fq and aqm algorithm), slammed it into the kernel the next day, and has been building ever more amazing things ever since.

I try to make sure people understand that I am more the acolyte of kathie, van, and Eric, than inventor here. I was proud of this thing we´d developed called SFQred, and writing a paper on it... but then kathie and van came out with codel a month later... obsoleting that part...

Eric and I implemented it over a week, saw that it was far better than RED... I went to sleep for a week, only to wake up to fq_codel, which solved everything.

We have been just re-implementing it and improving the edge cases since. I am pretty happy with cake, now. The world evolves however, and there are new demands on queuing. I cover some of these here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tTYBPeaRdCO9AGTGQCpoiuLO...

> If Apple changes the default to Bing then people will just change it back to Google in the settings

This is the crux of the underlying legal theory that this case is exploring. If the above statement is true, then yes; Google has been just burning money, and "stupid waste" isn't an antitrust issue (though maybe their shareholders could file a lawsuit).

But the DOJ makes the case that Google doesn't see it that way, Apple doesn't see it that way, and users don't see it that way... That if Apple changed the default to Bing tomorrow, users are so under-informed about the way the web works that Microsoft and Google's search share would swing radically and immediately. There's meat on those bones; people (who aren't Extremely Online HN Users, like yours truly) seem to find the search engines interchangeable, which implies the default matters. A lot.

I shuddered at that. There are times that parents have to resort to screen time to entertain children (e.g. a long train ride), but there are many other less harmful options than adverts or gambling-adjacent games.
The problem is more complicated than it sounds. The official treatment protocol for PANDAS is to perform a throat culture for strep and then treat with antibiotics if the result is positive. (Source: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/pandas ). In other words, it's the same as normal treatment protocols for strep.

The idea of PANDAS from occult (aka hidden, not producing positive test results) strep infections is less proven and considered rare, although it is mentioned in official treatment recommendations such as those above.

The problem providers face is that some parents will read about PANDAS on the internet and assume it is the explanation for their child's problems, despite having negative throat culture. They jump from doctor to doctor demanding antibiotic treatment despite the negative test results, guided largely by their internet research. It's not hard to find PANDAS parent groups on Facebook or Reddit where someone can post vague symptoms and a chorus of group members will response "sounds like PANDAS".

The difficult part is that for some of these patients, PANDAS might be the right diagnosis. However, once a diagnosis becomes a cult favorite on the internet doctors get inundated with parents demanding antibiotics because their Facebook groups told them that's what their child needs.
I wish this myth of dynamic == interpreted, static == compiled would die.

Interpreters are almost always written in statically typed compiled languages. When you feed an interpreter source code in Ruby, Python, Perl, etc. the net effect is that you have a compiled binary program that's executing your dynamic code.

So it shouldn't too great of a leap to understand that you can do full ahead-of-time compilation of dynamic code so long as you're prepared to embed a rich runtime into the binary.

Common Lisp is one of the most dynamic languages in existence, and has been ahead-of-time compiled for decades.

Of course, the dominant compilation paradigm for dynamic languages these days is "just-in-time" (e.g. JavaScript V8, Python PyPy, Ruby YJIT), because it allows you to use runtime frequency and type information to compile parts of the source more intelligently.

But either way, the whole "dynamic languages cannot be compiled" thing isn't true.

Let’s take a look.

> When reading literary texts such as fiction, poetry, and literary nonfiction, fourth-grade students performing at the NAEP Basic level can likely:

> determine the relevant meaning of familiar words using context within the same sentence or paragraph

They can pick out context clues.

> identify a specific detail to make a simple inference about the characters’ actions, motivations, or feelings, using a single point or multiple points in the text if they are in close proximity

They can determine that “Sally is sad” from the sentence “Sally was crying on the bus.”

> sequence or categorize events from the story

They can follow the flow of actions in a story.

> make a general reference to an appropriate section of the text or provide some support for ideas related to the plot or characters

They can answer basic questions about the text and what happened within it.

Perhaps the language used within the listed standards gives off an air of “difficulty”, but the fact is that none of these 4th grade students would be expected to understand that vocabulary. These are condensed and taught at an appropriate reading level for the students.

The sad reality is that students’ reading levels are down across the board. My wife has students reading at a "3rd grade level" in the 11th grade, while we have a son who read at a "3rd grade level" in 1st. That’s a huge problem.

This problem is systemic and should be taken seriously.

Edit: I wanted to note that these standards were confusing to me at first. My wife has a masters in curriculum instruction and had to break down how standards-based grading works. It's not explicitly teaching kids higher vocabulary—the verbiage is there to be extremely specific for teachers and curriculum boards to understand what to focus on when developing grade-level curriculum and adjusting their pace for each class (as every class will perform at their own pace)

> Based on these standards it still looks bad, but to an untrained eye they seem wildly high for 10 year olds. Scores haven’t meaningfully changed I think since they started testing with this rubric so really doesn’t mean much IMO.

> “You silly kids and your 16GB of RAM! Back in my day, we got by with 32KB!”

Did I say everything should run in 32KB of RAM? I did not. Perhaps now you can be serious instead of sarcastically and tendentiously avoiding the topic of discussion?

It's reasonable for a text editor to use far more than 32KB of RAM, but it's not reasonable for one to not run well on a system with 8GB of RAM (unless the user is editing some massive files).

> The reality is that software is increasingly more complex...

That's true, but also vastly overstated as an excuse for laziness and lack of care.

> ...and even simple tasks require more and more resources as the cruft builds up.

Now you're getting somewhere. There's no good excuse for most modern programs requiring so many resources.

The reason is software engineers are actually terrible at their jobs, and the profession (and its backers) embrace a lot of terrible ideas and excuses. Among other things, the end result is programs that (seemingly more often than not) expand to waste the resources available until performance drops to the minimum acceptable.

To add on with another question, are there systems (like password managers, or others) which have "double password" as a first-class feature? For instance, a hacky way could be if personA knows passwordA only, and personB knows passwordB, and the literal password for a system is the concatenation "passwordA + passwordB" - you could get that if both people sat at the same keyboard (or did something else annoying), but a password manager for instance would need first-class support for that feature to be able to have the two individuals launch a shared session to enter both passwords. Or I would even love a system where if at least 2 out of 3 people entered their passwords it launched a shared session: no one single point of failure either for compromising a person or for that person getting hit by a bus.
