Use a commercial service then, they're cheap and provide every benefit mentioned by GP. The thing that you really need is not your own server, but your own domain.
I really like the Decoders library for this. Similar in function to Zod, but a more Elm inspired approach - https://decoders.cc/
Internet archive is going for long enough that I'd expect it to stabilise by now. If you replace enough of the drivers, you get a good mix.
You don't need to deal with the hassle of your own email server for this. Just buy a domain and use Fastmail, Protonmail, or any other service you trust.
Maybe a classic flavor and a maple flavor, but real maple syrup is far too expensive. Waffle House doesn't serve it
So, it seems there are multiple things potentially including DDOS.
Why should an Archive need accounts anyways? This is like a public library: you don't need to authenticate yourself to enter a public library, do you?
The downward trend of measles, polio, AIDS after its spike has been nice. Also the cleaner air and water following federal acts, breathing less lead from the removal of lead from gasoline. What trends are you worried about? Maternal and neonatal mortality rates? Obesity and its related diseases? (That might be worse than 1970, thank you Big Sugar.)

There's a difference between health that's purely yours and health that affects others. I want freedom FROM disease, so all of us getting quality vaccinations is important to me. Most of the covid deniers would somehow mind me coughing a cold into their face even if they didn't mind coughing their covid into mine.

But drink raw milk if you want. Just beware serving it to others unless they want it too.
Great until you need to give someone an email address in real life and awkwardness ensues.

Cashier: "What's your email?"
Me: "walmart@somedomain.com"
Cashier: "No I meant YOUR email address."
Me: "Yeah walmart@somedomain.com"
Cashier: "Oh do you work for Walmart???"
Me: "No see I set up my email so... oh nevermind, 420BLAZEIT@GMAIL.COM"
We are just in opinion territory here, but Uber was originally more expensive generally than NYC taxis, but it took off anyway. If everyone was so cost sensitive, why isn't everyone taking the subway?
While PhD theses are typically quite straight forward, i.e. at many (most) universities a PhD needs to be a proper publication often with an associated IBAN and with a copyright licence assigned to the University (or at least a number of hard copies given to the University library), masters and bachelor theses differ considerably. Often the copyright fully belongs to the students, they are not required to be published (often even are not supposed to be, as they were done at some industry partner, or results have not been published in journals yet due to time constraints...). So it's legally not that easy for universities to publish or even archive them especially in retrospect.
It's great to see an article not bashing them for once. I love the idea of them not having to compile and the fact they just work in the browser. They aren't without their flaws but I'm hopeful that they'll continue to push through them.

I'm getting older in the world of modern web devs, and I truly can't keep up with all of the frameworks, so I'm hopeful that the core web will eventually win and we won't need all of the "cruft".
Now it is starting to look to me almost like you and Peter Todd are panicking and making huge slip ups.

Let me explain.

I see that you are now also arguing the IP leak is questionable and that others were running Bitcoin or could have been. Now combine this with the absurd idea that “retep” could have just been abandoned and it means nothing, even peter backwards, there are a million Peters whatever.

This is crazy you guys are basically accidentally admitting to technical somewhat knowledgable people like myself that retep is Satoshi because the excuses don’t pass the smell test. We know Peter was an actual wiz kid, it’s clear, Hal was emailing him in 2000, all using the email address that included … wait for it … “retep”, his IRC, his website, his freenode. It’s now obvious that he likely changed to his real name because the “cat was out of the bag” among the insiders. Hal would have immediately known Satoshi was Peter.

OMG guys get your act together fast. You need a plan B, no pun intended, because real investigators will tease it out, the top people doing that, have almost supernatural human intuition.

Regarding IP leak. Come on. Obviously it’s his IP. Was there a conference or vacation he was on maybe?

I’m just a dumb ass Bitcoiner from OG days and I can see though this charade so easily. I’m concerned.

Bitcoin is a gift to humanity from Satoshi (perhaps not retep!) and if the keys aren’t destroyed already and Satoshi is alive and has them then perhaps he should consider publicly burning the 1M coins or at least most of them. The nebulous case of supposedly the keys are destroyed is not a good situation tbh.

To answer your question. Yes I can definitely figure out where I was on January 10th, 2009. I know where I lived and worked then. I know if I took any vacations.

I’m hoping Peter Todd has a good alibi if he isn’t Satoshi. If he is … well time to confess and handle it in a way that doesn’t hurt the amazing invention.

EDIT: I wish I didn’t open this can of worms on HN. But I can’t delete it now …

This is fascinating. I have emailed Tcl's "father" (John Ousterhout) at length and he is one of the few to have actually tried to test what coding patterns make for better code and is the only book I recommend anyone when they want to get better.

Unfortunately most fall for the more popular Clean Code and it's derivatives.

Edit: The book is "A Philosophy of Software Design"

I’d say it goes very much against the spirit and idea behind the Turing test to fail an AI for having superhuman abilities it fails to hide.

As much as I admire Turing, I don’t think this particular idea of his was a sound one- an intelligent computer is not human, and lacks a human brain. It should be expected to be better at some things, worse at others, and overall noticeably different… even long after it exceeds human intelligence levels.

I worked at a company that hired like this. On the whole it was good, but it wasn’t a panacea. A surprising number ended up being academic types that were extremely smart but could never actually finish anything. Amazing guys to talk to at lunch though!

Even IT professionals can't tell the difference between latency and bandwidth, or capacity and speed.

A simple rule of thumb is: If a single user experiences poor performance with your otherwise idle cluster of servers, then adding more servers will not help.

You can't imagine how often I have to have this conversation with developers, devops people, architects, business owners, etc...

"Let's just double the cores and see what happens."

"Let's not, it'll just double your costs and do nothing to improve things."

Also another recent conversation:

"Your network security middlebox doesn't use a proper network stack and is adding 5 milliseconds of latency to all datacentre communications."

"We can scale out by adding more instances if capacity is a concern!"

"That's... not what I said."

Does that work for all class members? I think I've only ever seen that on private members, though I don't know whether that's because it's so much easier to check whether a private member is used or because an unused public member isn't an issue for eg a library.

This feels like an issue that reduces down to the Halting Problem, though. Halting is a function that could be made a member of a class, so if you could tell whether that method is used or not then you could tell whether the program will halt or not. I think it's one of those things that feels like it should be fairly easy, and it's really really not.
They're pretty forthcoming for what I assume to be an government agency.

I wonder why the gov.uk team are getting so much publicity(?) In the last few years.

As much as I love the aesthetic, I'm developing a fear that they'll soon spin off into a startup with some kind of paid model, and that government websites will regress.

Irrational fear, I know, but I cant shake off the startup-vibes I'm getting when I read such posts about what is essentially a public service.

Best shit I've heard in a while
I have spent hours arguing with someone at my work that the issue we are experiencing at our remote locations is not due to bandwidth, but latency. These graphics are exactly what I've been looking for to help get my point across.

People do a speedtest and see low (sub-100) numbers and think that's why their video call is failing. Never mind the fact that Zoom only needs 3 Mbps for 1080p video.
Is there any platform where people don't conventionally use frameworks/UI toolkits on top?

The biggest weakness IMHO is the inability to comment out elements of an array. Even bash lets you do this and it makes testing and dev so much easier. Really wanted to love it, but that got in the way too many times.
I do this. I just say "this will sound strange but my email is ..." and then spell it.

Yes? and as GP said, he stepped down because (as explained in the first line of his email) "Now that PEP 572 is done, I don't ever want to have to fight so hard for a PEP and find that so many people despise my decisions."
There are these pages on the wiki regarding closures, and a reference to needing to change the internals of tcl_ObjType in order to implement them.

TCL 9 has surely fiddled with tcl_ObjType I hope, but it doesn't seem like it from a glance.
The Breathing Cards
The "already taxed by the estate tax" justification is ridiculous to start with. If you have unpaid income tax it doesn't get waived to avoid "double taxation"; certainly you don't get a refund on all the taxes already paid on your savings. But if you kick the can down the road long enough with unrealized gains then you get a special bonus?

One may amend that most mature industries tend to move to an apparent stagnant state as the Capex for r&d increases over time, sometimes due to regulation and/ or due to increased technical complexity. There is also a point at which you can't optimize certain aspects further and have to figure out where to pivot innovation, e.g. end of dennard scaling/Moores law.

No it's a different point, in this, I just wanna express how ridiculous the official React docs can be sometimes.

The Redux "pattern" you speak of, does nothing to manage state better than useState(). So I'm not sure why that API even exists, or why you think that is a good response to "need something to manage states".

Let's go back to that, managing state would be for example error and pending state for every async action. In react, that basic, repetitive task is a whole celebration if you just do plain. Try do do form with per-field back-end validation feedback and see how much boilerplate you need for that.

If you feel that way about python, it's really just likely you haven't tried anything else better.

And anyways you probably shouldn't be serving a website with a scripting language (php and perl are great examples of why not). You probably shouldn't be deploying ml with a scripting language (maybe training is fine, if you're not doing distributed training). You probably shouldn't have too many core os components in a scripting language lookin at you Ubuntu, you probably shouldn't write a cloud (openstack) using a scripting language. What happened to "right tool for the right job".

There are three parameters of concern with your ISP. Bandwidth, Latency (and Jitter), and Data Caps.

Bandwidth is less of a concern for most people as data rates are over 500mb+ . That's enough to comfortably stream 5 concurrent 4k streams (at 20mbps).

Latency and jitter will have a bigger impact on real time applications, particularly video conferencing , VOIP, gaming , and to a lesser extent video streaming when you are scrubbing the feed. You can test yours at https://speed.cloudflare.com/ . If your video is jittery or laggy, and you are having trouble with natural conversation, latency / jitter are likely the issue.

Data Caps are a real concern for most people. At 1gbps, most people are hitting their 1-1.5tb data cap within an hour or so.

Assuming you are around 500mbps or more, latency & data caps are a bigger concern.
Is this your alt account? I am done participating in bad faith discussion. Goodbye.
Agreed, but the post above draws a direct line between a taxes and basic law and order, but one could support scaling back any number of taxes and spending programs without opposing or endangering law and order.
> If you make it so the tax basis stays low so a sale would have to pay tax on 95% of the value instead of 25%, she doesn't sell, you don't even get the tax on the 25% and the tax base stays lower because she doesn't switch to the more productive investment.

Eventually, someone will sell it. And, at that point, if the tax basis stays with it, all taxes that weren't payed before are payed then. Having the tax basis transfer with the property doesn't prevent the taxes from being payed, it just (might) defer them. Having the tax basis _not_ transfer gets rid of the taxes (on the currently accrued profit) completely.

Mom and pop are the consumers/victims here. And if 46% of all websites are WordPress, it’s probably likely that it has a monopoly on sites in its domain (e.g. blogging, commerce)
A lot of the power of expect seems to come from the fact that it's (normally) configured/scripted in Tcl

I really like that it, like the article mentions, just looks like config for basic scripts but also scales to whatever you need it to do.

I’m only exploring web components but I like the ability to go smoothly from regular <div> to custom element to element variations depending on attributes to some light JS conditional formatting depending on attributes, also it could be done in open or encapsulated way, then we can do heavier JS and callbacks… and at this point you can still transition to a framework.

Should browsers implement good customizable controls instead all that API? Probably but at this point I would rather have ability to make a good custom drop down with anchored popover API vs limitations of default control.
“Desperately”, you’re a funny guy. I live in Japan, no tax payer here is sitting around going, “how wonderful the nuclear disaster was, now we’ll get all this new tech to boot”.

Sometimes you need to call a spade a spade. This was a disaster, politically, economically and environmentally. Yes some good will come from it, but ultimately, it was better off not happening. All that money could’ve and should’ve went on new and safer power plants.

I'm just saying, games are exactly one of the things I would assume Rust would be a natural fit for. :)
> Rust has panics, and this is bad: ...okay? Nobody is writing panic handling code, it's not a form of error handling

As far as I know, the issue with the panics is that things panic a lot. Times when C or C++ will limp along in a degraded state and log something for you to look at will cause your Rust program to crash. That turns things that are not problems into things that are problems.
Perhaps it's the fact that I was chewing them? I don't know! I'd assume tea was more potent. But I definitely had a decent reserve and was imbibing all day.
Comparing this to the halting problem isn't really meaningful here because even if you could make a full mapping (which yours isn't), you can prove that a rather large subset of programs halt, which is good enough for a tree shaker.

I don't need to be able to eliminate every single unused function in every situation, but if I can prove that certain functions are unused then I can delete just those functions. We're already doing this regularly with standalone functions, so my question is just why this isn't done with class members.
He’s paying a person $47 for every registered swing state voter that that person refers to the SuperPAC and that follows through on signing a petition to support first and second amendment rights.

It appears to be lawyered loopholes around paying people to register to vote directly. Which is illegal as you mentioned.

Sure plenty of people will sign it for the money and then forget about it, but some sliver of people that sign will feel some sliver of obligation to vote for the candidate that the petition obviously wants them to vote for. A sliver here and there could be enough to turn this currently close election.

Totally reasonable question. The issue isn't how hard it is to get the memory for the a vector, but rather what you have to do to store references to that vector elsewhere in your code, so that the compiler can prove its bounded lifetime and release resources without creating UAF bugs.
