Now compare the performance of HTTP/3 versus HTTP/1.1 over multiple years when the website isn't run by a corporation paying an engineer to babysit and maintain it. The HTTP/3 CA TLS HTTPS-only setup would start failing due to CA TLS problems eventually (in a year or two) while the HTTP/1.1 HTTP+HTTPS would remain accessible forever. This is the core problem with HTTP/3 for human people.

It is one that could be fixed by developers if only the correct flags were set during compilation of the HTTP/3 libs and during their linking to the relevant browsers. But no one seems to care about human use cases. It's corporate security uber alles.

TFA aside, if we could make scientific research produce new insights with low latency and almost-zero costs, it would definitely not make science worthless.

It would be a fantastic day for science.

Not everything is worth (production costs + margin). Many things have intrinsic worth and are worth more to society if you drive down their cost of production.

For more and more people, a random YouTuber seemed preferable to a credentialled expert

People are too used to "having a platform" being a credential in and of itself. They wouldn't let just anyone be a TV News anchor or have a drive time talk radio show or write a book, right? There have always been snake oil salesmen, but what's unique about today is that it's very easy to make yourself look like Dan Rather or Barbara Walters or even Hunter S. Thompson. Some people fall into this false authority trap.

Anecdotally, I find that older generations are more willing to accept what they see online just because it is "published" online. Hopefully this is something that works itself out as more and more people grow up with these platforms.
Jesus, no wonder kids today hate capitalism and are flirting with political ideologies on the extremes of the spectrum.
Calling them "scum" seems pretty harsh. By value, wage theft is the largest economic act of thievery in the economy - I wouldn't call it strictly ethical, but there's a balance to it.
Right and it’s the responsibility of a webmaster to use those tools OSs and browsers provide to make accessible apps.

Semantic HTML with good useful labels goes a huge way. It’s not that complicated… unless you’re using a bunch of bulky front end scripts that clobber the native accessibility features.

Also, screen readers in particular have not historically been the purview of OSs at that level, hence the several different proprietary programs that help people interface with their computer. Apple products from what I’ve heard are an exception though
People have been talking about raising the minimum wage to $15 for so long now (the "Fight for 15" movement started in 2012) that the inflation-adjusted value of that would now have to be almost $21/hr. However, the minimum wage is still $7.25 and seems to be likely to remain so.
yup, this was it. Thanks!

It is certainly a double edged sword. In our team we are in control, and we have working hybrid in different kinds - at the moment completely voluntary. Some people mostly work from home, others are one or two days in the office. What I find interesting however, is that one young collegue who experienced COVID during the final years of his study, he prefers working in the office and tries to be there whenever he can (which might be >98% of the time). He is a very good developer too. It would be waste to lose him because most of the team works at home most of the time, and he doesn’t. Granted, he doesn’t have kids and we do see that both the presence of young/caring-needing kids or long travel distance play a factor in how much people work from home.
It depends on what you're doing right? The commenter here replied to me, and we're processing really large data files that are deliberately not in a SQL database due to size, only artefacts of these files eventually make it into a time series DB. For us Go works well and is performant without any great difficulty. For domain specific analytics we generally use Python, and Go just calls out to an API to do them.

Currently the majority of Apple's Safari revenue comes from Google search deals.

Do you believe that if Apple got rid of those deals, it would be justified in applying similar restrictions in Safari to support development of the browser? What incentivizes them to build a functioning browser? Is it feasible to have an Open web while incentivizing the massive amount of work required to build browsers and web APIs?

And if so, what is different about native APIs?

Can't say I agree with this. Seems to me that it's never been easier, faster, or cheaper to make a useful tool or service. Obviously the world is a lot more competitive now, with a lot more people trying to make stuff. But a skilled developer could certainly make a project on the side while holding down a good job at a bigger company and release it independently and bootstrap it.
> Did I mention how much easier handling booting with UEFI is compared to unholy mess of most other systems?

Yeah. Like linux entries getting ignored, no eay to debug what went wrong (if an EFI executable fails, you're on your own). A shell which is undocumented. With BIOS i didn't spent hours trying to boot a linux kernel.
> I realized that I couldn’t restrict my search for evidence to the familiar authoritative sources without ignoring a near-infinite number of new sources

This happens because the so-called "authoritative sources" have lost their trustworthiness, creating a vacuum that is filled by new sources, some good and some bad.

The problem is, people are bad at thinking for themselves, and basically outsource their beliefs to third parties. Are we worse at this than we used to be, or has it always been like this?

We need more primary sources of information, and less filters trying to persuade us, who often have unseen agendas and different motivations.
> You probably have been misdirected to an AC charger designed to be used overnight.

It’s possible, I don’t recall. But those were the only available spots, in a European country with large ambitions to transition. Half were out of service, and many were occupied, which we often found out after driving to them for 15 min. With scarce spots, charging has to be fast to clear out space.

Getting to the point of convenience is a very solvable problem, but it’s still not there in many places and situations. I think fast charging will remain as an important part of that solution.

When I was young, we had a "family carpenter" (he was way more important to my dad than the family doctor). He was a scrappy kind of a guy, somewhat disorganized, not great on craftsmanship but was willing to realize whatever my dad's visions of next project would be so I would see him every now and then. While he was on such an assignment, I requested a wooden sword and he made one out of the leftover wood - ugly but solid. He also made a bed-top desk for me with a compartment that had a liftable top to keep my stuff - again, ugly but solid. He would be an old man now, if he is still around.

I think those ugly and solid people who made ugly and solid things are increasingly going away and we as society are worse for losing them.
I'm not sure how you're going to fix this given the data science tools are in Python. Are you gonna implement a half-broken 20% of numpy/scipy for a one-off program and then try to port?

These libraries hide a lot of complexity and implementing even a few operators is a project.

Per the description this uses busy waiting in the workers to get to nanosecond level latencies. I wonder if anyone has a perspective on how realistic busy waiting is in large applications with tens of thousands of tasks? Maybe it works if the tasks are async (i.e. not thread based) so that you only have N waiters where N is the size of the executor’s thread pool? In any case energy consumption of such an architecture would be higher.

Related, I’ve been interested a while whether there’s a faster way for a producer of work to have a consumer wake up without resorting to busy waiting, possibly by running the consumer in the producer time slice.

Also related, I’ve wondered if it’s possible to have a user space FUTEX_WAKE operation that would halve the typical penalty of waking up a consumer (to just the consumer).

It is all about use case. SD cards are a bad idea for a swap heavy primary storage solution but a great solution for storing large amounts of data that you write rarely but read often - like a music, video or other media collection.

Something tells me the reason they don’t appear on regular phones is similar to the reason Apple started soldering RAM onto motherboards, and many other PC makers followed. i.e. the reason they tell you is the reason isn’t the real reason.

"truth doesn't exist" -- except for that truth statement you just made? If no truth can exist, then why are you making a truth statement?

Truth does exist. And the ultimate truth is Christ. Yes, those words ring as ignorance to most, but just like we are forced to reckon with gravity and the laws of physics, we all will one day reckon with the ultimate truth.

But it is not my job to compel anyone to believe this. I just find it fascinating that non-believers will believe in magic, ghosts, simulations, aliens, evolution, but that a Creator that exists outside of time, space, and matter created this universe? Nah, that's ignorant religious thinking.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted except that your opinion is unpopular in this thread. It's a legit counterargument though.

They are. Just not in a way which would help. If a subtransaction commits the changes are still not visible to other connections until the top level transaction commits.

The subtransactions are exposed to SQL as savepoints but my point still holds.

I am not sure what would be needed to implement concurrent index build but subtransactions would not help.
Capitalism has nothing to do with this, because land is not capital. Land, as a non-fungible asset, is monopolistic by nature. There is no free market involved because competition cannot exist. Furthermore, because you must occupy some piece of land, it commands a monopoly price that ends up taking absolutely everything that the poorest can possibly pay, ensuring the continued existence of poverty no matter how much we progress as a nation.

Land ownership should not be confused with capitalism because it is not a free market, and the advantages of location are not capital.

TLDR: Friend and I kept track of Trump "stories" through 3 rallies and our tin foil hat leads to either dementia or him using some dictator cult speech technique to convince people things are true

My friend and I started a drinking game the Trump rally right before Biden dropped out. Then a week later Biden had dropped and Kamala was the competitor, we did the drinking game twice post-Kamala.

First Rally we didn't really know what to expect other than the usual clips but we picked words to drink to. Friend picked; Kamala and something else. I picked shark, hannibal lecter, and electrocution. The top hits. Not super relevant to story though.

Anyway, after playing the same drinking game at 3 rallies this is what we learned:

He tells the exact same stories over and over for 2-3 hours.

We can't figure out if he's reading them from a teleprompter in order or if he's got those specific stories memorized, but he uses the exact same numbers (say crowd size, 50,000) each time. So if he brings up a Kamala crowd size 15 minutes in he'll say 50k, then he'll say the same Kamala crowd size story 45-1hr later, 50k people, no change.

We couldn't figure out if he's telling the stories in some sort of logical order or if they come out completely random because we were just keeping track of specific words and not order. That's why we we're unsure about the teleprompter. A lot of the times right before he breaks into his Hannibal Lecter story he goes over the story of Kamala being a terrible border czar and rapists escaping the insane asylum blahblahblah to Hannibal Lecter blahblah.

But there were times he didnt! One debate he did the insane asylum to Hannibal Lecter story ONCE, but then did the insane aslyum/border tzar story 2-3 other times without bringing up Hannibal Lecter. Obviously I'm paying attention to this because I was drinking to Hannibal Lecter.

At rally 3, our last one, we started to wonder if it's either dementia or my more tin foil hat theory, he's been coached by some dictator or dictator-wannabe (Stephen Miller?) that repeating the same story in a loop over and over somehow digs things into his cult followers little smoohth brains and they become convinced that something ridiculous is true.

After Biden dropped out my friend who picked Kamala basically had to quit the game 5 minutes in because we counted up to I think 40 kamalas before we stopped counting them. Ranting and raving about Kamala.

I know nothing about fascist/dictator/hitler style rabbel rousing but I bet there are a lot of weird psychological tricks that they learn to do to keep a hold of people.

I wonder what his meetings with Putin were like.
Okay, it's unacceptable. Now what? Sadly, we (you, I, the Python leadership) can't just visit every single Python package publisher/maintainer and ask politely but firmly ask them to fix their packaging issues. And even if we could, at least half of them would either ignore us or would mess up in some new, exciting ways while trying to adapt to the flavour du jour of Python packaging.
So, I thought this might be the case. But I never got a good answer on if power zone or heart rate zone was what to pay attention to. Since I'm not competing and don't plan to, I don't really care that much. But, no reason not to try and train a bit more properly. :D

Sorry that was a typo we should have said "do not have the program" (corrected).

But no the same is not true of the user of the AGPL. The GPL user having the source code and being able to program or hire somebody is utterly meaningful. That user controls the installation of the program. They would like the program to do something differently, or not to do something unwanted. With the buildable source code they can achieve that.

The visitor to the AGPL application have access to the source code has no meaning at all. They don't have the administrative access to replace the implementation (and even if they did, that was just create conflict with the other ivisitors).

The ability to set up your own clone instance its completely meaningless. For example suppose that's some government service website is using AGPL software. What do you gain by downloading the software and running your own instance? That's not where your data is; you can't use that cloned instance to communicate with the service agency.

It is the AGPL that's using outdated concepts in a new context where they don't make sense. (Licensing helped us win the open source war in the 1990s and 2000s, so it'll work this time too right?)

You also may be thinking of the software of being something like a photo editor or word processing application that is hosted, but in which the visitor works with only their own files in isolation from other visitors, and from the site operators. I don't think that's the main target for the AGPL. That may be called "strawman AGPL". I tend to agree that the AGPL may be effective in this limited situation. But effective is not the same as free. A "free for personal use" software license is also effective at achieving the aims of its purveyor but isn't free.

Maybe, but somehow their behaviour and their products and services changed. Companies are made of people, and individuals had more freedom to put value in what they did, they took pride in the quality of their work. After Friedman everything got "optimized" for revenue, even if this meant screwing the customers (or the society). There are some things that cannot possibly work with this "self-regulated" market, so if we want to accept this way of doing business, we should move back some responsibilities to the public sector (healthcare, infrastructures, rehabilitation, education, research), because the search for "immediate gratification" of shareholders can't move the society as a whole out of local maxima that are far away from society best possibilities.

I answered this in other comments: First tap water is potentially illegal to dump on its own, for example because of fluorine/chlorine (heated water is also potentially illegal to dump). Second it is not tap water it is water that has gone through an industrial process, which can add toxins to the water. Third, you need to go through the permitting process before dumping to show that the water is in fact not contaminated because you can't unscramble an egg.
