I don’t agree: Specifically if you live somewhere with only a single food store, there’s a decent likelihood that you’re either heavily invested in the area (farming, forestry, …) or that you can’t afford to live anywhere else.

More generally, moving means leaving friends, forcing kids to change schools, and if moving far, learning new laws and customs. Not to mention that packing and moving all that stuff takes days and/or costs thousands of moneys. Extracting files from Google Drive and iCloud is a pain, but is it _that_ bad?
> WebDAV is a much better choice than FUSE. FUSE is a good concept, but buggy and poorly-implemented. Things like sshfs can break in very bad ways if e.g. there is a network connectivity issue. Not a hack.

I have had problems with particular fuse implementations (sshfs included, s3fs especially), but I've never had trouble writing FUSE implementations that behave correctly. Is there something deficient in the spec that you want to call out, or is the idea just that WebDAV carefully built networking into its core concepts, where you have to do a lot of extra work to squeeze those ideas correctly into a FUSE implementation?

The EU itself is the biggest financier of the Ukraine. That is in addition to the individual contributions of the EU member states.

The military assistance is of course a member state prerogative, but pure financial support is not nothing – after all Ukraine tries to run a country while fighting a war. And Ukraine uses that money to purchase that military equipment.

I loved this book, because I found the overarching themes were "be nice to people and they'll like you and want to work with you" and "here's some genuine ways you can engage with and be nice to people".

It helped me realize how selfish I was in some ways when interacting with others and how little changes (that aren't slimy/creepy) can make me get along better with others.

One of the best for me was finding something, anything, that you can truly complement a person on. Anything from what they are eating for lunch looks great, you like the color of their bicycle, the headphones they are wearing look like the work really well, etc.

I believe radical is a better wording than extreme, as the goal of Milei's politics is trying to make life better through a non-violent manner for all non-corrupt citizens. Even Milei knows it that he's running an experiment, and he doesn't deny it.

Rails migrations really fail to be viable at scale. And its not really because of the migrations in Rails, its because changes in PostgreSQL get very very expensive. Things have gotten better in PG 15, but its still not quite there yet.

I've ran into an integer PK being almost exhausted in values twice now. In one of these cases I used pg-osc to rewrite a 8TB table on disk without downtime over a period of a week to fix the issue. In the other case it was about 6TB within 2 days. Its doable, but the amount of planning and time it takes is non-trivial.

I so far have no found any other viable solutions either. I keep hearing about logical replication but I haven't seen a great real-world solution at scale so far.
We're trialing ECharts on a couple dashboards at the moment and it's improved velocity a lot over previous D3-based approaches. This has been my experience in other companies too, where a purist developer will come along and start building yet another custom D3 solution which takes so long to deliver that the users just build a pipeline to dump the data and hack their own charts together in a different tool instead.

My feeling is that D3 just isn't worth it unless you are building a bespoke visualization for a unique dataset. For most everything else, ECharts is so much faster to deliver value to the users. The ease-of-use of ECharts reminds me of Highcharts back in the day, except it's free! I'm not sure it has a very strong support network behind it, but perhaps that will improve as more popular tools switch (Gitlab, Superset etc).

Large tables take hours, if not days. I attempted a test case on AWS using souped up io2 disks (the fastest most expensive disks they have) and a beast of a DB server (r5.12xl I think) and it became abundantly clear that at certain scale you won't be doing any kind of in-place table updates like that on the system.

Stolen wages + Inequitable equity distribution

The people doing the actual work in the world (aka the global labor force) are having their value stolen from them because the structure of the modern firm alienates the worker from their capital by assuming it was never theirs and the “proprietor” is assumed to own all simply because they fronted the cash to get it started

Chrome on Android has "Install App" in the main menu. It allows for sites to trigger an install flow without going any browser menus (you can e.g. have an "Install" button on a site, and clicking it will diredctly open a PWA installation prompt).

In addition to that, Android supports PWAs in the Play Store. It supports other browsers, and doesn't restrict them from installing PWAs or providing alternate installation flows.

I really don't understand the equivalency you're drawing here. Apple are a uniquely bad guy in this respect, it's not a difference of degree, it's a difference of kind.
I'd like to see the EU fine companies based on the harm done worldwide, not just in the EU. But then allow Apple to decide to redirect some of that fine proportionally to over countries regulators (and if the other country doesn't want to take it, it is still owed to the EU).

I think that would help level the playing field, where some (smaller) countries can be walked over by big tech companies because the country is incapable of flighting big companies.
> Without a focus on the supply side, all of our current consumption-focused climate change policies (carbon tax on consumption, electric vehicle mandates, most recently infrastructure issues etc.) effectively amount to weak virtue signaling that has mostly succeeded in dividing voters and provinces against each other

This is a very bad-faith read of what actually happened. There’s been decades of interest in the supply side, but this isn’t happening in isolation: the fossil fuel industry is massive and has enormous political clout, and they know that there’s no path to a better world which doesn’t involve the fossil fuel industry making trillions fewer dollars. That means that supply side improvements have both been prevented or steered in infeasible directions which conveniently mean fossil fuel consumption won’t drop in the slightest until decades in the future when something very hard finally happens (hydrogen, nuclear). Any time you’re about to repeat a right-wing trope about virtue signaling, know that you’re contributing your time and credibility to assist their propaganda campaign entirely pro bono instead of doing anything which could help.

Re: tar sands, nuclear takes too long to construct and if you did get a plant through you’d want to use it to decarbonize usage directly rather than encourage more oil consumption.
I wonder how many publishers use S3 for this. Because, at current retail (quantity 1) prices, a bigger card looks like it will pay for itself after a whopping two downloads.

I assume that the game downloading ecosystem uses something that’s actually cost-effective. At AWS prices, it seems like it would be basically impossible to be a profitable publisher of multi-gigabyte games at any scale.
People have been saying the same thing about off/near-shoring for decades. "X will be replaced by cheaper Y" but that has not materialized in any way. If anything, the opposite has been proven as demand for high-skilled labor continue to push salaries and competition for positions up. The amount of AI is coming for X or AI will replace Y is so unfounded at this point, I'm chalking it up with FSD-levels of hype. It remains to be seen whether it actually proves useful at any _real_ scale.

Yeah, he presumably put away a nice nest egg working at Google. It's not in any way wrong to remind others that, if they're lucky enough to be in a similar position, they don't necessarily need to work until "normal" retirement time if they/their families don't want that.

I'm also much more sane about how retail works, and realize that MSRP vs retail pricing is how the world works. Expecting to earn full retail pricing while selling your wares through someone else's store is just farcical. Developing a product that can only work on someone else's product and then complains about the rules of that other product's maker puts in place is also just hubris.
As a general philosophy, don't ban it, regulate the use of it. What if trace amount of mercury are needed for the next world changing technology? By precluding reasonable access you're ensuring that will be invented somewhere else.

The implications of this problem are far broader than the article suggests.

Consider this classic essay entitled The Myth of the Rule of Law by Georgetown law professor John Hasnas.

https://www.copblock.org/40719/myth-rule-law-john-hasnas/

It begins with a series of questions about what’s protected under the First Amendment. None seem particularly tricky. The answers all seem fairly clear cut.

Except, you guessed it, they are all controversial. In fact, none of them stand on firm ground at all. The essay brilliantly shows that government is always “rule of men,” and “rule of law” is a mere diversion. This essay will blow your mind.

I meant why not leverage fragmentation at the routing+transport protocol layer if configs can be controlled to support it and not drop fragmented packets.

What advantage is there doing it at the application layer?

I'm aware that all the layers can be messed with by rogue malicious actors.

Though IIRC CAN doesn't really have a transport or routing layer; the ARB IDs are baked into the physical protocol, which is very cool, but it's fundamentally a bus architecture, and I'm not sure how it would apply to current thread.

Why? You have the option to avoid Apple completely and not have them interfere in your life what so ever, and it's an easy choice. Just don't buy their products. Your blood should boil for things that you can not easily avoid in life. You're wasting your passion on completely meaningless things. In the end, it's just phones and computers.
How I'd put it:

They are useful because the integral of the likelihoods is not infinitesimal.

The probability that your yard stick measures 1.0000000000000 yards is basically zero, but the probability that it's within one inch of that is close to one.

We generally prefer to use probability density functions with the property that most of the probability density is close to the maximum likelihood.

So, in the yard stick example, the yard stick lengths are probably gaussian, so if check enough lengths, you'll get a mean (== length with the maximum likelihood) that approaches 1.00000000000 yards (you'd hope) with some small standard deviation (probably less than an inch).
My guess is that it's going to turn out that free returns drives a large number of sales, and removing it is a mistake. A lot of online shopping can be impulsive, and the knowledge that any impulse is effectively permanent will change habits in a way that I believe will reduce sales dramatically. Especially given how places like Amazon don't always send you want you think you ordered!

On a personal note, I'm in this picture. I've been doing back end code for decades, and beyond a bit of 2003 style ajax/css, my front end skills were non-existent. One of those itches - standing up a blog - as I'm working on my Rust skills, I looked at the tailwind components and started using them. And down the rabbit hole I went to understand what was there and how to use it. On a whim, I asked copilot, interpret this style - and I'll be damned if it it did not produce useful results. I also understand there is an entire ecosystem I'm oblivious to.

I'll grumble about the Java code it generates. Mostly meh. As I look at the Rust suggestions, it seems fine. Is it Rust has better training data, or is it that I'm a weak Rust coder still and don't know right from working. My money is on the latter.

Anyhow... considering the hours I spent yesterday trying to implement light/dark mode on some simple pages, your Tailwind comment resonates.
