So, you're still going to be better off with a tiled overview sort of system.

FWIW, I've got an official 900MB geojson of borders from a large unnamed multinational NGO type that's particular about their mapping.

At z=4, or 600m resolution, it's a 2.5MB pmtiles, at z=10 (10m resolution) it's 83M.

That's just the ADM0 borders, adding local borders would obviously increase the size.
Every time I'm in a new store (and occasionally I'll repeat it) I'll tell managers that "as a customer, I'm complaining about those doors, and I'm not going to waste time opening all the doors to find what I want, I'll just go to another store." Now I realize they themselves don't care, but by saying "as a customer" I'm trying to help them truthfully say "customers are complaining and we're losing sales." Can't wait for them to be gone.
I really recommend you reading the blog post by tailwind’s creator himself: https://adamwathan.me/css-utility-classes-and-separation-of-...

Your “semantic” CSS depends on your HTML structure. Tailwind’s HTML depends on a fixed set of CSS styles. None is any more coupled than the other, it’s just that the direction of the dependence is different.

Depending on what is expected to change more, both can be a valid approach: e.g. for a blog post that only uses heading, emphasis, link, styling it from CSS alone is definitely the best choice (that’s what it was developed for). But I would argue, most real-world web applications see more HTML-changes, and thus the other direction may make more sense.
The law itself is explicit, no one needs to prove what the word "and" means.

Huh? Unit tests are critical to be able to perform a major refactor without breaking everything.
This is my take as well. The US/IRS could be giving awards to those that pay the most tax.

It's kind of ridiculous that a 1 mil campaign contribution gets more publicity than paying the IRS 100mil in taxes.
Ever heard of Sherman's March?
The wealth tax feels to me like "we've tried nothing and we're out of ideas". If we want to tax billionaires, we should start taxing their income. Undoing the tax changes since Reagan would go a long way. If it isn't possible to do that, then it won't be possible to tax wealth. If it doesn't work, then we can consider wealth tax.

Rommel's Afrika Korp did very well against the British and the fixed defenses the British had built. The Korp was supplied entirely by sea and air.

The Korp eventually was overwhelmed because:

1. The British were far better supplied with troops and equipment (also shipped in)

2. The Korp used Enigma, which the British had cracked. With that, the British knew where every German supply ship was and when, and sank most of it. They also knew Rommel's battle plans in advance.

The U-Boot fleet was also lost because of Enigma.
Seems the court disagrees with you to the tune of $100000.

Seems it is the opinion of the court that Google is rebroadcasting and amplifying slander and refuses to stop when notified and when ordered to do so.
It's the obvious solution, so of course it won't be done.

I now have four separate companies' fiber running through my property, of which I am connected to only one, but I could switch to two others anytime I wanted to, and then they'd run the "last connection" to my house. It's kinda silly.

(The fourth is a business line, which I could connect to but that involves more work as it is older.)

I agree. The machine is remote so I don't have it on hand, but I believe the stock AC adapter is rated for 40 watts according to a search online. However, I haven't recently plugged it into my Kill-A-Watt to see the actual draw, especially since I run it at half frequency. I'll bring it with me next time I'm out there for an upgrade to see what it actually pulls. :)
To expand the example of the flea market from above: say you know your users aren't doing (open) crimes on your space, but they're pointing out where to find the illegal goods... police will still nab you for facilitation.

I see no reason why there should be a difference between online and offline facilitation of crimes. This kind of shit has to stop, and if it's easier to nab the site operators than the actual committers of crime, I'm fine with that too.
> I think it's very easy to take the benefits of the EU and our resulting prosperity for granted. We need to actually have some power in the US-EU relationship, and the only way is to combine further.

You opinion is that the EU is good because the EU is good. You want the United states of Europe. I don't.

France, Germany, the Northern European countries were wealthy before the EU became the EU as we know it today.

> I don't know what that will look like, but I'd like Europe to be able to chart its own course. We know what happens to nations that are at the mercy of countries more powerful.

Yes, Europe, not the EU. That's my point. You can have Europe without the EU. You can have cooperation, trade, security without an overarching apparatus like the EU.
That's why I said "part of".

Obviously English is a factor. So is being a relatively wealthy country, hence the comparison to Europe.
Until a critical mass of movers forms, no change will be made. And there's other inertia, including lack of signal from customers, existing practices, vendor monopolies.

Your reasoning assumes a fluid system with perfect observability into everyone's interests. Consumers can't even articulate their own interests fully -- it's impossible for vendors to respond properly.

Quality and high performing software exists when vendors elect to produce it. There are intrinsic motives and extrinsic.

Most quality products exist despite consumer demands not because of them. Don't fall for the "money incentivises everything" trap.
Since you care about these things, why not try a language that has scoped threads and bounds checking built in, like Rust or Ada?

Actually, I had written more about Rust and Ada, but then I read your blog, and it says you like C better anyway because you find it more fun, so nevermind.

You might also like to use D in its "Better C" mode, which at least offers bounds-checked arrays and sliced, as well as some other features, while being very similar to C.

The decision to use this product is made by the business structure, which has a completely different vision than the employee. If, based on your personal characteristics, you agree not to work in the application and if you are a valuable employee, then perhaps you can reach an agreement with the employer. However, for many employers, such reluctance to use the application will also be a signal that something is wrong
These companies need to be dismantled. Every small shop this happens to should focus on documentation and suing for damages. This is negligence.
In my country, the entry-level pay is above the median salary, and according to a recently retired police chief, new hires are dumber and dumber. They used to demand a score of 11 (14 to be officer) in the early 90s, they simplified the exam, and still hire people who score lower than 8 nowadays. He saw a new hire flashball his own foot.

I don't think it's pay related.
If the municipality owns the poles and the power company this is comparatively easier. In places that own both, like Traverse City in Michigan, Chattanooga TN, or Longmont CO, this model can be incredibly effective. The problem, at least in my part of the world (Michigan) is that most municipalities do not own the poles or the power company. The power company is instead a large publicly traded corporation, albeit with strong regulation.

Adding regulation to force power companies to run dark fiber on new runs only addresses part of the problem. You still have to deal with the millions of miles/kms of installed grid that sees proactive maintenance _maybe_ once a decade.

Not to mention the state laws in dozens of states that place onerous rules on municipalities installing their own broadband service, or even outright forbid the practice entirely. These laws are often the result of ILECs lobbying state governments or using their lobbying groups to directly write "model legislation" that state governments subsequently adopt.

I wouldn't say creating value is the smaller goal. It's THE goal. From a business perspective or an engineering perspective, everyone (aside from pure sociopaths who use unethical means) can agree that creating something of value is the only path to revenue.

Creating value means different things though. Values change between different phases of the project, across different stakeholders, across levels of engineering expertise. Coming to agreement on the value proposition ("when the team comes together and reaches consensus") takes time, mental work, and commitment to the process. Far too many companies run with the "just start coding" mentality, skipping the crucial goal of reaching consensus. That's what's missing. We're vision-constrained and often don't even know what we're building or why.
Nobody has ever said you’d put a fast charger in your house or at work.

Getting 1MW to a commercial fast charging station is not crazy. Plenty of fast charging stations have that kind of connection. But distributed over multiple chargers of course.

What you see these days is, say, 150kW shared with t who cables. If you’re the only one charging you get 150kW. If there’s another car you get 75kW. If we ever get to 1MW I think that’ll be the model. Should still be quite beneficial since if people finish their charging faster you’ll also have more instances where you’re not sharing capacity with others.

As batteries get cheaper we’ll also see more stations with battery packs to provide peak power to those super fast charging cars.
Consider AMD Epyc 7742 vs an A100 -- 225W vs 400W (according to some TDP numbers). That's 1.8x-2.0x increase in energy, but something like 10x-100x more integer operations per second (depending on size of integers, depending on if you count the tensor cores or not).

I came from China. I can provide some context for people to understand what $660 mean in China:

1. It's about 2 month's salary for low to low-medium level, in most big cities.

3. Rent for one room, about 120 square foot is about $100 per month, in big cities.

2. It costs 2 to 3 us dollars for one-person's meal, with 4 to 5 dollars you can get a good meal. Tax included.
I had unfortunately ambiguous pronoun usage there. The “he” in “the paragraph he’s made is just fake news” referred to the author of the telegram post who runs kiwi farms.

That title from Okta has to be the lamest in all history of security breach announcements!! "Tracking Unauthorized Access to Okta's Support System"

Horrible title, not transparent or direct, pretty lame. and I agree, it's dreadful that Okta did not even mention that BeyondTrust told them about it on Oct 2 (30 minutes after BT uploaded their HAR file to Okta Support).
yes, we would probably be better off as a society without those companies (we can say that with certainty for meta _alone_). destabilizing democracy, suicide nets, AI for the "defense" industry, surveillance, misinformation, mass manipulation, adtech, etc.

> You who make six figure salaries slinging javascript would probably not have jobs like that without companies that billionaies built.

doing something else more productive? your disdain is apparent in this comment, so i'm sure you wouldn't mind it if people who "sling javascript" for six figures find something better to work on.

> Would they have bothered or even been able to do it if we taxed away not only their income but also their wealth?

do you start every side project with the question, "well how much will i have to pay in taxes when this makes me a billionaire?" most innovation in human history has existed absent a profit motive.
It goes both ways. I've seen some toxic douchebags say that the only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian. I've also had some douchebags PERSONALLY tell me "From river to sea, Palestine will be free" under the assumption that as a brown guy I'd sympathize. Everyone is in their own damn echo chamber and yelling across of each other. Assholes on sides need to get fucking slapped.

I wonder if this is intended to make only few companies to have control over users' data. Does anyone have an opinion about this?
Aaaand, that's the answer I usually get; why not.

I can come up with a few very good reasons why not, but the question was why.

You mention that after you decided "why not", and got married, you in fact saw your relationship get "stronger and not only due to longer cancellation procedure". I'm happy it's working out for you, but would suggest it's not because you got married.

The ordering applies across tiles, and not within - it should be efficient to diff two archives because there is a single, well-defined ordering over the entire archive, and writing algorithms over the tileset is all 1D operations instead of 2D (a single zoom level plane) or 3D (multiple planes)
Pretty good article. But I'm still wondering if I really want to use Turbo. I tried it and I was just endlessly confused between streams, frames and how to do error handling etc etc.
This is why we need stronger anti-monopoly enforcement.
Agreed. The more non-intrusive your APIs are, the better the overall experience is going to be for developers. Diverging from official/standard APIs means higher chance framework lock-in, which has kept me away from a lot of tooling.

Always try to ask myself when adding tooling: What's the chance I'll want to remove this later, and how painful is that going to be?

Hm. Privacy proxies can be a good idea, I'm generally in favor of them, and masking IP addresses does help with privacy. And while doing limited proxying for specific domains is not ideal (and obviously raises questions about how Google will decide which domains to use), it's also not a completely terrible middle ground for protection if costs are an issue. It's not inherently a bad idea to say "we can't solve all IP addresses for everyone, but we can get a list of trackers that we know are abusing them and specifically mask IP addresses from them."

I'm always cautious about Google proposals about privacy, this might have some catches that make it bad, but I don't immediately see (here or on the linked repo) what the catches are.

My bigger objection is honestly just cost? I guess I'm overestimating the extent of the data Google is going to be using, but I feel like I might have questions about how sustainable this is to build directly into a browser with no subscription or payment plan in front of it at all. I guess it's also opt-in, so Google might be banking on very few users ever enabling it. Funny how we decide what Chrome features are opt-in and opt-out. Or maybe it's just a way to get users to log in to Chrome instead of using it logged-out.

----

Note that if you're on iOS you can also set up a similar service through Apple; it costs money but from the look of things it's more comprehensive and will do a better job than what Google is proposing. So I'm not sure "we proxy your traffic and we're thinking about using multiple hops to do it" is actually that revolutionary.

----

But I don't immediately hate the idea, it seems like a good change and it seems like it should be a tangible increase in privacy, and it seems like the kind of effort I'd want to get behind. I like that in phase 0 they're including their own domains in the list (it is funny to think of Google needing to protect you from Google, but realistically if they had said "we won't use IP addresses to track" and then exempted themselves, I would be more critical). I don't like that they're planning to tie it to sign-in, but apparently that's temporary and will go away after a while? If they do eventually move to a 2-hop system, that will help address a lot of the "now Google knows what the destination is" concerns.

This seems kind of garbage and is more granular than I'd like:

> As many online services utilize GeoIP to determine a users location for offering services, Google plans on assigning IP addresses to proxy connections that represent a "coarse" location of a user rather than their specific location, as illustrated below.

But they're not wrong that course geography is still better than a full IP address.

We'll see. It seems like this has the potential to be positive, I just get nervous about Google because of gestures wildly at everything.
Rarely does a situation so desperately cry out for the use of eminent domain.
Hopefully, after you "destroy capitalism and wash away the weird bourgeois conception of having a 'career'", there will still be some people around who want to be in Operations and keep information systems running. Of course, we'll probably be too busy subsistence farming to worry about information systems.
> Wealth is simply rows in a database (public securities) or paperwork at custodians (whether private equity, real estate, art, etc). The same systems that would defend your ability to own can tax what you own. You can't own without government enabling it.

I'd argue alot of wealth isn't tracked like this. How would you query for who owns all the Picassos in the world?

How would you track off shore money? What specific database are you suggesting we query?

You get to a point very quickly where you realize that wealth is even more of a black box than income and is even harder to track and record.
Missing the part that I know perfectly well how GNU/Linux works in modern laptops.

There is always something that doesn't quite work, even on System 76, Tuxedo, Framework or Dell XPS 13 devices.

Sure GNU/Linux might work perfectly alright on classical desktop hardware, a dying breed outside gaming.

Speaking of which, where GNU/Linux needs to emulate Win32 and DirectX to be relevant at all.

Not even Android game developers care about GNU/Linux, despite the NDK being about ISO C, ISO C++, GL ES/Vulkan, OpenSL, Open MAX.

This gives engineers a bit too much credit. We have a tendency to heavily over index on last year's problems. That or exploring edge cases that also make no bloody sense.

Indeed, the very existence of so many frameworks is also very easy to blame on errant engineering.
I wasn't involved with the hardware side of things. The SoCs are from Nvidia, iirc. The widely-publicized issues with Walgreens are 'electrical,' but I'm unsure of what that actually boils down to in practice.
The supplement Candex can help clear candida from the gut and that helps reduce the load on the rest of the body. Candida overgrowth is part of many allergic conditions too. The biggest help I found was in skipping traditional wheat breads as much as possible and eating Spelt bread, while a wheat it doesn't harbor the same kind of yeasts. Good luck with your Mom.
Just want to add my two cents: I've had really great experiences using Hotwire and rails 7 in general. The developer experience is really good and it's a fantastic toolset for building middle-complexity user experiences. You can build surprisingly sophisticated web experiences with a small amount of code and simple mental models.
I'm not sure what you're recommending here. There are many, many ways to trigger undefined behavior. The compiler won't tell you when you might be. Well, unless you're using a sanitizer like ubsan, but even then it'll only tell you about some. So I'm not sure when I should go fix my program that I don't know needs to be fixed.

Yes, in theory you could internalize all of the rules and write UB-free code. While you're at it, be sure you only write code with no bugs at all. I'm not sure why everyone isn't doing that already...
Not sure what this proves. Maybe some people looking now are frustrated, but that's only from those who are looking. The point is a low number of people are looking in the first place. Hence low unemployment.
Having been raised Mormon and participating in the church and culture until my mid-20's, there are sooo many aspects of the religion that affect life across so many dimensions. I'm sure abstinence from drugs is benificial, but probably only account for a fraction of the effect.

Other things I'd consider:

* Longevity is associated with community, something the church is very good at

* Even elderly individuals are required to perform "a calling", giving them meaning and purpose later in life

* Mormons have a lot of children, and so when you're older you usually have a very strong social safety net

* Mormons have lower divorce rates, and divorce is correlated with greater mortality

As an agnostic and raising kids, I spend a lot of time now pondering how – if at all – to pass on as many of these benefits of Mormonism to my kids without mandating the magical beliefs, and I have to say it's difficult. But I think you do have to have some healthy middle-ground mix of conservatism and collectivisms just to strike a healthy balance with modern individualism and liberalism.
In this context cynicism is warranted, this is tunneling all your web traffic through Google's servers and I'm sure it's not made clear to neophytes.
