[Im a mediawiki dev]. Typically people use varnish for that use case. MediaWiki does support serving logged out views from a filesystem cache, but varnish is generally a better idea. There are also some caches out of memcached (mediawiki has "parser cache" in memcached which is the part of the page that stays constant between all users. Typically people use varnish on top of that for the entire page for logged out users)

Sometimes people add things to their sites that are incompatible with caching, which will make hosting costs go way up.
Because implementing designing/manufacturing/validating SR-IOV HW is expensive. It's not something that would be useful as a differentiating feature for most consumer grade HW.

Not disagreeing with you but I think people underestimate how many users would not watch Youtube if there were no Adblockers, I only say this because many in the content space and sometimes in the SAS/Webapp space are severely overestimating there products value and would not even with bother with Youtube specifically because of the unknown factor when they deliver adds. I think something like Tubi does it better and feels more like they actually respect the viewer while Youtube, like all Google, respect nothing which makes the breakup so so funny but I digress.

The reason behind Fandom buying Gamepedia/Curse is both a blessing and a curse(HAH!) that would require a specific set of circumstances to happen again.[1]

Basically during 2018 Curse's owners, Twitch and Amazon, wanted more head count for Twitch and to cut out anything that was not part of Twitch's main mission. The decision at the time from the Twitch CEO was to completely shut down Curse and fire everyone by the end of 2018 even though Curse was a cash positive subsidiary. That would mean turning off every single wiki with no transfer to anywhere else. It would all just be gone.

So the director of Curse at the time worked his ass off find a buyer for the company. The final options came down to The Verge, Wikia, and one other that I forgot. Essentially Wikia was the only one that could promise to meet all of the buyout terms and a two year transition period of employee benefits for current employees.

I'm not going to call Wikia a savior here, but without any company offering to buy Curse a lot of wikis and jobs may have been lost that December.

I love the idea of finding new and better interfaces for spreadsheets, and I applaud this effort!

That being said, if you want this to be useful for people in general, not just programmers:

- People like WYSIWIG. Markdown and the split-pane view seems to be something only programmers like. So I'd suggest being able to do everything, or mostly everything, directly in the rendered/HTML panel. (Maybe the Markdown panel is for power users only)

- This is great for working with individual calculations, but a lot (most?) of spreadsheet use is about applying formulas to whole rows, columns, and tables of values. I see you support basic tables, but they're a huge pain to encode/format/edit in Markdown, and I don't see any ability to support things like 200 rows x 5 columns and do things like calculate sums and averages

So I think there's a ton of potential here! But I think WYSIWIG and easy tabular data support are going to be key here for broader usage. While the kinds of programmers this seems aimed at now, are already using Jupyter notebooks and Matplotlib for this kind of thing. (Like, when you describe "why did I build this", I don't understand why you didn't just fire up a Google Colab notebook.)
Romania total taxes are quite high, because we don't have tax ladders, it's one size fits all solution and it's a lot. It's that cost of living here is smaller and as result it's not that bad
Huh? The end of the new Alien movie is deeply uncomfortable.

You have to put it up front while the audience is still hyped to see the move. And it's a movie from 45 years ago that was so culturally significant that even if you never saw it you know what happens because you've seen other media reference it. It's a showing specifically for people who've already seen it. Special edition VHS tapes with director commentary put it at the beginning for the same reason. Which yeah, who even has VHS tapes anymore but its the one of the few non-cinema formats constrained by having to make everything serial where you can see the norm.
If you put European eggs in the fridge, it actually DIMINISHES shelf life because it can cause condensation that begins to erode the cuticle (the thing that allows the egg to be stored at room temp w/o bacterial penetration).

Like I said, there's advantages and trade offs to BOTH, otherwise the move would just be to do one and not the other (similar to how there are advantages to the Imperial measuring system that keeps it in place, but we're not going down that trail).

If all you are interested in doing is churning out code then that's fine, but we shouldn't consider be promoting you into higher and higher roles

Higher roles implies greater responsibilities, not just to the product but also to your team and your company. That means you cannot just be an assembly line code slinger anymore. You have to talk to people, mentor people, figure out what the higher level company goals are, figure out what the product needs to meet those goals, etc

None of that just happens without communication skills
I can’t imagine this kind of stuff happens in the PRC.

The upside to a tightly-controlled “infosphere” is that people who are at the controls and have rational thought can jump right in and quench the idiocy fires right away.

It turns out that "The remedy for bad speech is more speech" doesn't actually scale globally.

You can blame this on Russian and/or Chinese disinformation ops and tik-tok, etc, but the problem is more general than that. One of the assumptions around free speech ideals is that the people who are speaking or publishing are citizens of the community in which they are speaking or publishing, and now a large part of the content on the internet is produced by people who are crossing national boundaries, or not even produced by people at all.

You used to be able to assume that the vast majority of the content you're exposed to is produced by people who live in your community or country and would not like to see it destroyed, and now, in fact, you should probably assume the opposite. You should assume that most content on the internet is produced by bad actors trying to rip the fabric of your society apart, particularly if you're reading something that enrages you.

The especially insidious part of this is that most of the rage bait stuff plays on widespread personal biases so it's self sustaining after a while. People start to hate each other, so then they do stuff to each other to make each other hate each other more and so on and so on until you've got Rwanda.
It's simple Darwinian evolution.

The relatively few families that have five children, and assuming that the values of having a large family can be passed to offspring, they will continue to have large families.

In a couple generations these people will become the majority of the population and the birth rate goes back up again.
The "best by" period is arbitrary, so a packed on date removes ambiguity that varies from producer to producer.
Show HN: Hacktrack.info – Email Notifications for New CVEs Affecting Your Stack
I've been working part-time on https://hacktrack.info, a SaaS that alerts you when new CVEs or exploits are published for the software you use. By subscribing to assets in the CVE database, you'll receive email notifications whenever a new vulnerability or exploit is released that impacts your stack.

Alongside notifications, we provide users with an AI-generated analysis of each CVE, including potential impact and recommended mitigation steps, helping you understand the severity and take action faster.

The idea came to me while working on an incident response team, where I noticed that many companies were hacked due to using software versions affected by recently published CVEs or exploits.

> Life is inherently unfair

If you want to complain about life being unfair like "an emo 6th grader" that's your choice, I was just pointing out that she wrote the opposite of that. Your original comment appeared to equate her statement with "life is unfair" when that was the opposite of what she wrote (as it was translated, at least). Critique her writing all you want, but critique what she wrote, not what she didn't.
> From what I've seen I more associate the issue with Democrats than Republicans, especially in the COVID lockdown days.

Can you explain the chain of logic here? During the pandemic I "did my own research" which amounted to basically masking when other people did and getting the vaccines as they came out. At the time my SO was a nurse working on a hospital covid floor, so it seemed prudent. So, I'm not really sure how you see Democrats as being less science based? No snark intended, I'm truly curious.
> That doesn't mean agile is bad just that it wasn't the "silver bullet" management wanted.

Managers didn't want to be eliminated? Who'd a thunk it. Which is also why Agile is oft considered "bad" as management by and large never actually walked away, they just pushed some of workload off onto developers under the guise of "Agile" and half-ass adopted tools designed for a flat organizational structure in a hierarchical structure with all of the impedance mismatches to go along with that.

> Everyone wants to throw out Agile. However I don't see anything to replace it.

It's not so much that anyone, non-manager at least, wants to throw out Agile per se, but in this high (relatively, at least) interest rate environment there is more of a crackdown on the work people are doing, so managers are trying to reel back in the boring work they earlier tried to outsource onto developers in order to continue to justify their jobs. That is what has replaced it, so to speak.

> It's strange that milk, for example, doesn't have any requirements for its expiration date.

Why should it? It won't do you any harm. Just don't buy from suppliers who lie to you. But surely if it went sour before the Best before Date then the supplier has supplied goods that were not of merchantable quality and not in accordance with the implied contract and has failed to uphold their side of the contract.

But surely your complaint should be directed against the shop that sold it to you? I would expect the shop to either refund or replace the goods.
>The WordPress Foundation President is Matt. There are only two other board members, only one of whom is active, and both were appointed by Matt unilaterally.

The thing is, once you organize a foundation as a non-profit with the government, you lose some of your ability to make decisions that are contrary to whatever charter and goals and such you specified when it was created. Matt may have screwed himself over by putting the stuff he wants to profit off of into ownership of the non-profit.

Portugal is an interesting microcosm of the general economic problems in EU vs US.

I don't think tinkering with income tax brackets/credits is going to fix the actual problem - robust and steady job creation of good paying jobs.

There are ~11M people in Portugal, 3M of which are in Lisbon metro and 2M are in Porto metro areas. This leads them to having the same problem as Japan - the population is decreasing, BUT the countryside and 2nd/3rd tier cities are emptying out.

So housing affordability in the major cities remains poor. The youth therefore get squeezed out and emigrate, leaving an increasing tax burden problem paying for all the benefits given to the increasingly aging population.

My father visited his home town in the countryside in the last decade and found much of the town essentially abandoned. No one lived in the home he grew up in. His uncle owned an inn that had no guests, etc.

Meanwhile, Portugal remains a beautiful place and I will visit more in the future, and could even see wanting to retire there.

That is what you get when you stop funding general education because you think people should pay for it themselves. People lose the ability to separate fact from fiction, lack the ability for critical thinking.

I benefit when others around me get better education, that's why I'm happy when my taxes are used to fund schools and universities and other ways of educating people. And it also benefits the economy, so every tax dollar/euro spend on education has a huge ROI.
incredibly non-controversial take:

The majority of Re-release audiences have seen the movie before and don't want to sit through the credits for extras.

As always, the media softens the truth to try and keep their subscriber numbers up. Or their inboxes from overflowing with death threats. They sugarcoat the problem as "political polarization" but this is bullshit. These conspiracy theories are almost entirely a right wing phenomenon.

If you put a Trump sign in your yard, will you get death threats? Nope. Laughed at? Maybe, but not to your face.
People are afraid of Trump supporters. Now try putting a Harris sign in your yard. Your local sheriff will tell the world to make sure they keep track of you for future recriminations. You'll get anonymous death threats in your mailbox.

There is sickness in politics today, but the solution is not "fix both sides."

No, it’s not people from one college. The members of the different committees are professors or scientists from various Swedish universities, and the Royal Swedish Academy which gives the awards doesn’t not only have Swedish members as far as I know.

Edit: It seems the committee for physiology and medicine is actually at Karolinska institutet, so in this case it was one college.
> Malty strong beers age well. Hoppy beers don't because the compounds are volatile.

> IPA's always taste off to me.

That sounds contradictory to what I've heard about IPAs: that they were created because the normal beers the British had at the time wouldn't survive the journey to India, so they added a lot more hops and called it India Pale Ale. Based on that, I'd expect them to age better, not worse, than other kinds, but I'm not a beer person and this is just secondhand knowledge that I've never bothered to verify.

I have seen many TV ads for a company called Indeed, that promises to provide companies who are hiring, a curated list of qualified candidates. I am sure there are other agencies out there trying to do the same thing.

I have never used one of them, but I am curious if those who have used them really think that their service ended up being worthwhile.
The comment was about naive tracing. When Disney used rotoscoping they had animators draw conforming to a character model on top of the live action pose.

The experienced animator and inbetweeners knew how to produce smooth line motion, and the live action was used for lifelike pose, movement, etc. It wasn’t really tracing.

There’s examples of this in the Disney animation books, the finished animation looks very different from the live actors, but with the same movement.
Russian disinformation is itself a conspiracy theory. Trump was investigated for the last decade, they essentially found nothing.

Not sure this is a good idea or not, for one it'd be awesome for doing performance oriented and threaded code in JS/runtimes, the idea seems related to how C# struct's already work (and tuples under the hood). Interop with WASM code might also be simplified if struct-like access was a built-in.

The bad is that people wouldn't necessarily be prepared for their semantics (are they value or reference based?), how to shared prototypes between environments (mentioned as problem in the proposal itself), not entirely sure if this proposal would add to the complexity vs security for spectre like attacks.

It'd be useful, but worth it is another question? (And would all major players see interest in it? esp considering that it'd need to be "JSzero" level propsal if they go in that direction. (There was a post here a few days ago about layering runtimes with JS0 being the core with everything else being syntax transforms on top).
No, equality of opportunity is specifically not needed for a meritocracy. It wasn’t in the original book[1], it didn’t happen in the old Chinese examination system, and it sure doesn’t happen now.

Merits are measurements, and society adapts to make those measurements a target.

That is something that comes from experience - automate happy flow so you can handle all normal cases super fast - handle edge cases manually.

It always was the biggest issue I have seen “sorry cannot help you with that because our system says so”, which should never be the case. There should always be way around the system. Then of course way around the system needs approval from some higher up anyways.
A few people say or do something completely nutty and the 'country is suffering this lunacy'. At what golden period in history were there no nutcases pitching some irrational extremes into the public sphere?

On the other hand maybe I'm quite wrong about all this. Someone has estimated (an open calculation) the payback time for the US debt burden at 90,000 years if it was paid back at the rate of $1,000,000 per day. Some might argue there's lunacy at work over many decades to achieve this result.

>The wordpress foundation has never been anything BUT a mockery. It doesnt do anything - it is a shell for Matt's trademark schemes and tax fraud

It does kinda seem that way as an outsider looking in. There definitely seems to be some legal shenanigans going on when he's using his for-profit company Automattic to complain about stuff happening to the non-profit Wordpress Foundation. They should be legally separate enough that what he's doing shouldn't be possible.
Two tidbits from me:

Several years ago, I got an omron wrist cuff blood pressure monitor. Some doctors showed heavy skepticism at the time but I've never seen any reason to think it's inaccurate when properly mounted and with healthy batteries.

I had a sleep study done last year using a brand new machine the lab got (literally unboxed while I was there) that uses a combination of the ecg signals and pulse timing to calculate blood pressure continuously once calibrated. Seemed pretty cool to me and I got the impression this technique is fairly new?
