Like many http server implementations in Zig, this is a wrapper around `std.http.Server`. `std.http.Server` only exists as a mechanism to test the `std.http.Client` (which is needed for things like, downloading packages). So `std.http.Server` isn't built to be fast, secure or robust.

I believe you _can_ get keepalive working with `std.http.Server`, but it seems like Tokamak isn't using it that way. The implementation is a thread-per-connection. Those are the two most obvious issues specific to this implementation.

But I believe the bulk of the issues relate to `std.http.Server`. It shouldn't be public/used.

> Someone probably needs to explain to the green clean energy enthusiasts setting policy these days that it really doesn't matter where you burn the coal, at least from a global atmospheric standpoint (though not for local pollution fallout of sulfur and mercury and arsenic).

True but sadly these things are measured by country. Which is unfortunate because if you're going to burn the stuff anyway, shipping it across the world does add significantly to its emissions of course.
For those old enough to program on punch cards you could say that is closer. We load the program into ram and then the env can and often does modify the program on the fly and we do dumb thing like use the current line number to save a byte because dividing by 17 is “good enough”. Most cards are functional and many cards do double or triple duty to save space. So a bug in one card can subtly break three wildly different spots. Analogies break down of course as in biology it all executes at the same time which is why the micro services or lamdas that can be scaled up or down have been my go to. And you can even inject external events into your lambda systems.

And for anyone familiar with lisp, code is data, data is code. For modern coders you can think that it has a billion feature flags you can also flip on and off rather than rewriting the code on the fly
There’s alot to consider.

In my opinion there’s two options:

1. Leave very soon: any sort of bullying from your manager, toxic team environment, illegal activities, burnout from work hrs or stress, or politics against you. Search for a new job asap.

2. Leave at some point for the right next step: boredom, feeling of accomplishment in your current role, curiosity of what else is out there, lack of progression in company, feeling used (like the company is getting a great deal - you think you should be paid more, work less, are too relied on etc) - look around, update your CV, apply if a job ad looks right, build your knowledge of the best next step

I have been reading the Wikipedia articles on media and publication conglomerate M&A (mergers and acquisitions) for a while now. Media M&A is never foolproof, and my thesis is that M&As take into account the probability of failure, which represents the majority of the deals.

The survival of most startup media/publication companies is focused on one thing: demographics. Millennials in their 20s are different from millennials in their 30s, or Gen Z in their 20s. Considering this limited shelf value, it often results in them shutting down or being acquired. The companies that do acquire them have gone through this same cycle of failures and know that there is a high likelihood that the userbase will age out and the acquired company will eventually fall. This is so frequent, I bet they even financial engineer deals that may lead to some kind of benefit upon failure.

> People and businesses used less electricity overall, with demand dropping by 3.4% compared to 2022.

The EU isn't even managing to tread water with this transition. Over the last 20 years they've shed ~15% [0] of their energy per capita and more than that in places like Germany or France.

This policy might look sensible if we hit peak oil sometimes soon, but realistically this is an indictment of the anti-nuclear movement who caused a lot of unnecessary harm. We didn't have to do this by squeezing people's living standards. That energy is needed to promote high living standards.

Frankly I'm surprised that the body politic are taking it (although I'll cough a few times and mention Brexit, AfD and apparently the French are unhappy).

Because you can have something usable instead of dreams. If you want to have completely independent code eventually, then replace modules one by one, while having a working product. Like Mozilla did with Servo. They had C++ codebase they wanted to replace with Rust codebase. They did not create entire browser from scratch, but replaced C++ with Rust gradually. While one figures what HTML and CSS layout should look like, no need to have no JavaScript engine and basically unusable browser. Use existing JavaScript engine, replace it later when/if project has enough resources.
It is an important point - here in Australia we don't have adequate onshore fuel reserves and we have only two or three remaining oil refineries, meaning the vast majority of our fuel is refined offshore and imported. This means basically our entire transport industry would fall over in (if I recall) around 20 days if our shipping was blockaded.

But I think you're wrong on one point - going green isn't an economic hit in the scheme of things - even not counting the possibly incredibly high costs of climate change into the future (food insecurity, more frequent and more severe weather disasters, etc.) - renewable generation is cheap, and storage is also getting cheaper every year. Energy efficiency improvements have also seen demand trending down even as populations increase and there is a push towards electrification. Meanwhile nuclear has always been pretty expensive, and coal and gas prices have been fairly high in recent years. With some demand management, more distributed storage, new battery technologies, economies of scale etc., the cost of highly renewable grids is not likely to be a big deal.

Well, U.S. produces a lot more oil than it consumes and can supply most of Europe's net imports this way. Counting in Canada, in a pinch, North America and EU put together, can make do with just the (fossil fuel) energy supplies of their own.

So what you say was the case 20 years ago but no longer. Energy supply-wise, U.S. does not care about Middle East at all, and Western world overall, only somewhat cares, but it's not a major concern, not like it was in 1970s let alone not like it was in 2000s.

It breaks down to CO2, so as a GHG, it's not gone at all.
Not having a computer lab, even in the 90s, seems irresponsible to me.

Yes, figuring out how to teach and what to teach using computers was difficult, but students needs familiarity with computers and how to use them.

Saying that "they'll learn on their own in their spare time" is ridiculous and tantamount to saying schools shouldn't be teaching reading, because students will want to read on their own outside school and they already have access to books at home.
Sometimes it's nice to dream. A nice bonus if other people respect your autonomy to use one's time on Earth as one sees fit.
I don't wanna be the guy who pulls out the "you're holding the phone wrong" from Apple, but... you're holding the phone wrong.

Here's an example of some thing I did off the cuff. I have a bunch of hand written notes that are mind maps and graphs written on old notebooks from 10 years ago. I snapped a picture of all of the different graphs, threw them into chatGPT and asked it to convert them to mermaid UML syntax.

Every single one of them converted flawlessly when I brought them into my markdown editor.

The amazing thing here is that that the ChatGPT large language model wasn't even explicitly trained for this at all, but with the massive quantity of data that it's trained on its able to just connect the dots.

If you're using chatGPT as nothing more than a glorified fact checker and not taking advantage of the multimodal capabilities such as vision, OCR, Python VM, generative imagery, you're really missing the point.
In Germany, the government is paying for the dismantling. All external cost of nuclear was and is payed for by the government, safe some small token contributions by the companies in the beginning. Those got the profits instead.

Germany had so little nuclear power left that leaving them running had no impact in the roadmap for green energies and energy prices. They had to be shut down anyway soon since they were old and insecure.
I've never used a mainframe, but I did manage to introduce a small performance regression in gcc that someone complained about (I did fix it, yes). ;-)

I think, if security is involved, one would still need to do overflow checks in the exact same places, so nothing is gained and nothing is lost.
I think the GP's point is that this would need hardware support. Without that, it's not something you could implement efficiently as a programming language feature -- you'd have to "trap" by checking the result of every arithmetic operation in software.
From meeting identical twins in my lifetime, yes I’d say they are quite a blueprint for an organism. A blueprint doesn’t mean things are exactly the same, yes there are environmental factors, but there is a lot going on there that is the same.

Fugitive emissions of methane (a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2) [1], other gasses which are presumably the reason that people who live near gas fields have higher incidence of cancer, asthma, etc. [2,3], and various chemicals being released into groundwater [4,5], which could also be the causes of the cancer instead of the atmospheric emissions, I don't think there is a strong consensus yet as to which one is responsible and in what proportions.

A “fun fact” for another Australian. As of this month at least one if the big four is doing serviceability assessments based on the PAYG gross income.

WRT your other foreign income/asset comments its much less nefarious. The local banks are focused on AU income and assets because it is directly tied to serviceability and recovery. You can do loans based on foreign income/assets but youll pay a few percentage points for the risk and conversion problems. The international loan outfits are usually smaller, though HSBC is a big one IIRC.

Putting iPad's and Computer labs in the same category is weird actually. One is a consumption good except for certain use cases and the other is a treasure trove for teaching.

I've run into this and learned my lesson/gained my battle scars, but it just seems like unnecessary pain. Would it have been so bad for k8s to use something simple for securing communications other than the full TLS stack, right from the beginning?

It's so cumbersome and so many people run into this footgun that also happens to be proper security practice.

A symmetric key setup is simple and if it was available as a fallback all this pain could be avoided. It's not as secure, and you have to be careful with nonces and things but I'll take some somewhat distant insecurity (if someone is already inside your network and reading your asymmetric secrets you have other problems) for the better ergonomics and lower likelihood of blowing off my own foot.
Hope they know that it sucks at math
When you ask an AI for a list of citations and it returns a list of 10 names, pages and dates no amount of 'critical thinking' will let you determine which answers are correct or incorrect, you have to sit there and painfully cross-reference each one.

The 'critical thinking' part at this point in time leads you to only one conclusion: that the tool is unreliable and dangerous and shouldn't be used. Or, you're teaching kids that they need to cross-reference all 'authoritative sources' which leads to a complete failure of the system - if you give kids a textbook will they have been 'trained' by GPT to not believe a word of any of the claims in it without cross-referencing? How does that enable better education.

If you provide a tool from a position of authority it needs to be a reliable and believable tool; standing in a position of authority and handing out access (to children!) to a lie box and asking those children to 'rely on it' is frankly abusive. That's beyond mixed messaging, that's just some form of weird mental torture.
I hope for that too. But I believe it wont. The complete Fake News topic just shows that everyone is happy trusting information that matches their beliefs. There is never any critical thinking or verification if it is actually true or just made up.

And its enough when such a technology is 80% right. Nobody will verify every answer if it is correct most of the time.

This is the main reason why China is accelerating renewables. Renewables solves their energy sovereignty problem which they are very stressed about. If they decide to invade Taiwan, they have no easy solution to an oil blockade. They only have ~3 months of strategic reserves. They're fine on coal (albeit they can't really expand use that much, they can just keep it steady), it's oil that's the issue.

https://gjia.georgetown.edu/2023/03/22/chinas-economic-secur...

The other 4 reasons are smog over cities, growing political leverage of the domestic renewables industry, climate change, and the improving learning curve making it financially pragmatic.

I think this provides a framework for how to market renewables to a domestic conservative political audience. It's cheaper, yes, but primarily it's good for national security and sovereignty. It's even better for individual sovereignty if we're talking about individual household solar, whereas oil and gas makes the individual beholden to the state or corporations (or worse, a foreign hostile state).

I guess it would be possible to see the Saudi-Iran (now dead) reconsiliation, mediated by China; and the Saudi-Israel (now dead) reconsiliation mediated by the US --- as made-possible by these issues.

Though, I suspect, most of that shift comes from the US now being an energy exporter because of shale. If that had been the case earlier, it seems likely the iraq war wouldnt have happened, in that there would be no motivation for the US to 'improve' the region.

It also seems likely that US support for Israel may end with increasing shale and increasing green energy. It's hard to image the severe consequences the US has faced for support will outweigh the value of having a stronghold in the region.

Perhaps Israel might sense this waning US dependence on the ME, and this may be part of its prior attempt to normalise relations with SA, etc. It has always struck me that one of the precipitating issues 'in the air' for Hamas was likely a concern for israeli-arab friendships forming.

If that were to happen, presumably the arab-world sentiment about israel could shift against them, and that would be a catastrophe for Palestinian interests.

It's quite plausible then that much of what we see at the moment is partly a result of US shale plus long term concerns about green transition.
Rolling your own key management system is not to be taken lightly. I've done it, and you really, really only want to do it when you really know other systems won't work.
