DNS load balancing has some really nasty edge cases. I have had to deal with golang HTTP2 clients using RR DNS and it has caused issues.

Golang HTTP2 clients will reuse the first server they can connect to over and over and the DNS is never re-resolved. This can lead to issues where clients will not discover new servers which are added to the pool.

An particularly pathological case is if all serving backends go down the clients will all pin to the first serving backend which comes up and they will not move off. As other servers come up few clients will connect since they are already connected to the first server which came back.

A similar issue happens with grpc-go. The grpc DNS resolver will only re-resolve when the connection to a backend is broken. Similarly grpc clients can all gang onto a host and never move off. There are suggestions that on the server side you can set `MAX_CONNECTION_AGE` which will periodically disconnect clients after a while which causes the client to re-resolve the DNS.

I really wish there was a better standard solution for service discovery. I guess the best you can do is implement a request based load balancer with a virtual IP and have the load balancer perform health checks. But you are still kicking the can down the road as you are just pushing down the problem to the system which implements virtual IPs. I guess you assume that the routing system is relatively static compared to the backends and that is where the benefits come in.

I'm curious how do people do this on bare metal? I know AWS/GCP/etc... have their internal load balancers, but I am kind of curious what the secret sauce is to doing this. Maybe suggestions on blog posts or white papers?
I just remembered something:

> property value of people living in a desert more valuable

People living in the desert (outside of phoenix and Vegas anyway) are probably thinking there is much more value in not being in the suburbs honestly, and I seriously doubt they want to trade this for more neighbors.

They still want infrastructure investment though, because there is little appeal in their taxes funding more development in urban centers that are already rich or repairing coastal areas after the next hurricane, etc. Forward looking investments in rural areas is a great way to boost the economy generally, to curb the scary rise of populist madness, and start to fix one of the major sources of division and angst in the USA and other places. If desalination makes no sense, how about a space elevator, hyper tunnel, or you know, decent cheap old school passenger rail options?

> We dreamed, built, and just wasted money.

A bit more nuance than that. First, there are reasonable arguments that desert living is/can be more energy efficient than heating the great frozen north, even prior to cheap solar. Whether things happen or we give up comes down to who is politically important more often than what is physically or economically easy. And one thing that is often forgotten about such efforts is that even projects that fail can be a net positive.. that is why we don’t cancel the space program after the first rocket crashes.

The Boys is a bad example because its whole aesthetic is hyperviolence and kink illustration. There's room for work that takes the extreme as its signature.

Same for shows specifically trying to illustrate tawdry or violent subcultures like club kids or gangs.

What gets boring, when too ubiquitous and gratuitous, are works that casually insert characters, scenes, etc that seem meant to resonate with some purported culture trend / market demand but aren't really necessary or coherent in the context. If you're not on that trend yourself, those insertions feel completely out of place and sometimes even offensive.

That's a perpetual pattern in media though. Presently, we see that explicit sexual content was "hot" for a while but some people are tired of it and a new generation just doesn't give a damn. But you can see similar comings and goings looking backwards (and forwards) as well, with: relgious symbols, queer recognition, political moralizing, lifestyle moralizing, positivity, stoic/sacrificing men, empowered women/survivors, violence and brawling, eye candy, sarcasm and cynicism, romance, superheroes, flashy lifestyles, sad sap lifestyles, etc

Gemini Flash seems remarkably fast and cheap, noticeably cheaper than most (any?) reasonable alternatives. Other models have a best in class context window. Gemini is also known for citing its sources better than many other models.

I’m not sure they’re behind, maybe just focusing on different things? Being fast makes sense for a lot of use cases, and large context windows are important for the sorts of cases like NotebookLM, and citing sources is important for safety.

Unless you have two beams, it would have to AC. You'd have to keep the series capacitance low enough that a significant amount of power is conducted (which might kill it). Remember that free space impedance is 377ohms sqrt(mu0/eps0) so non-photonic power likes to become Lambertian radiation.
Agreed. Lots of people/bodies/academics have measured contract readability; I didn't say the US CFPB was the only arbiter.

Lina Khan seems to be one of the bigger contributors to curbing excesses, at least in the domains she's authorized to, and she may not keep her job in the next admin.

Honestly this sounds like you tried one unrepresentative query at launch and nothing else. I’m using Gemini regularly now and it’s not bad. Via the API I’ve had even more success. Much better than 3.5, and competitive with 4 in the things I’ve used it for, plus a huge context window.

Backtracked and reversal are out of place here.

The starting point was an absence of sex in the public domain, an avoidance of reference to basic reproduction facts, a ban on anything beyond, etc.

Things have progressed to sex scenes becoming so prevelant and readily accessible that it's become desirable to have a choice to see material that doesn't constantly interupt plot for steam.

Sex has moved from titalling rarity to boring omnipresence. and is now winding back somewhat; this is not a backtrack from the state of play in the 60s though, the world has leapfrogged past that era.

The article does make an interesting point on our energy usage. As an industrial society - we hit the limits of scaling energy output sometime in the 70s. With the majority of gains coming from improved efficiency as well as incremental expansion since then.

Conceivably, if solar continues its price trajectory - we could see a world where new large scale projects are started.
> Linux definitely exists in a weird limbo. While it can be secured to an extreme degree, most people aren't using Linux that way on personal devices.v

For sure. I think my minimal Alpine desktop with well defined SELinux policies is better than Windows or macOS, but most people are using Ubuntu or similar which doesn't have anything like that (AppArmor helps somewhat), and doesn't really have any of the security innovations macOS or Windows have.

> Curious as to your rationale for the security architecture of macOS being inferior. Is it because of the way the security features are implemented that you lean that way? macOS has its warts, but it also has plenty of security features I'm not aware of Windows/NT having.

I will say I'm a little out of date on new features macOS may have introduced, but back in the day I remember them not even having a proper ASLR implementation, no form of MAC, nothing even close to things like Windows Secure Desktop[1] etc. Microsoft had a well deserved horrible reputation, but they really put in a lot of effort to turn things around, and I think they succeeded but without getting due credit from most techies. Whereas Apple it seemed like were coasting on the fact that macs were not nearly as targeted as a platform.

CrowdStrike will use discovery for this case to get information about Delta's IT policies and practices and make them look bad. This was a huge blunder on CrowdStrike's part, but they'll point out that other companies were back up and running in a day or two.

The problem is that these teens want to watch tougher, mature stories like prestige TV stuff or the movies Variety cited and then complain that there's sex on it. If they are not comfortable watching sex they should stick to basic mainstream stuff, which became completely aseptic after the Superbowl tit incident. Not everything has to be for everyone.
Lovely reminiscences. Are you a Yank? What did you do there?
What you’re doing is spreading unqualified FUD towards the work of scientists and engineers involved in bioengineering. We don’t need more ignorant opposition to STEM in the US.

I fail to see the fundamental difference with Linux you're talking about. Typically adding a user to the sudo/wheel group mean precisely that they can run whatever as the superuser (root). Once you're root, Bob's your uncle.

Sure you can tweak it to only allow certain commands, restrict it to another group, etc. Which would be equivalant to, in Windows, probably using another group(s) than Administrators and assign privilegas as appopriate.

I have a lot of unfavorable opinions of security fundamentals in Windows but you're barking up the wrong tree here.

From your other comment in this thread:

> The issue is not that people don't understand how MS defines what is and is not a security boundary.

With all due respect, check your assumptions...

But later notes that PRP is computationally nearly identical to LL. Was that sentence supposed to say TF and P-1 instead of PRP or am I misunderstanding something about the actual computational cost of PRP?

"heh, nice argument. unfortunately, in my head I have already depicted you as the seething pathetic baby bird and myself as the smug and unflappable red angry bird"
Same with me. When I was younger I was able to just enjoy myself without mixing irl thoughts. Unfortunately these days as an adult if I'm stuck in a game or have to chip at it in some tedious fashion, a part of my brain goes "you can spend this time learning something new or productive irl".

I think my attitude changed the games I play also. I used to play MMO when I was younger but FPS games give me that dopamine rush without any commitments.

Sadly it's only when I'm sick do I feel I'm able to just cozy up without these "you can be doing something else" thoughts and truly enjoy games for what they are, tedious or not.

Right, this article doesn't make a case tracing Puritan and Borderer settlement to modern day California, but the book Albion's Seed does, and it makes a very convincing case.

The book examines a variety of folkways, naming conventions, and lineages in the cultural regions throughout old England, discovers those same things present in regions throughout America, and then follows the continued expression of those folkways and lineages all the way up to the present day.

And although we can find similarities between Puritans or Borderers with other cultures around the world, we can't make a convincing case that, for example, the Japanese had a significant influence on American culture and politics, because again, the primary sources revealing the folkways examined in Albion's seed are quite distinct and can be accurately traced from old England, to American settlement, and again up to the present day. Puritan architecture, food, naming conventions, and ancestry is quite distinct and well-understood, and we see evidence of those things throughout the United states, whereas there's not much Japanese architecture, food, place-names, or influential dynasties here in America.

Anyway, Albion's Seed is a very good book that I highly recommend reading.
> They might have the same name, but at what point does the Ship of Theseus become a different thing?

Who knows, doesn't really matter. Like with most things, the courts can determine on a case-by-case basis whether or not a particular thing currently on sale is similar enough to the old/original version of it such that the original thing should still hold copyright. Not really a big deal from a legal standpoint.

There has been no commercial broadcast radio on the longwave band in the US, that's correct. That's why radios featuring that band are rarer here, and usually confined only to enthusiast radios.

The WWVB time signal is technically inside the longwave band, at 60kHz.

Antitrust law does not forbid a company's decision to compete in a new market.

It forbids using your existing monopoly in one market as a weapon against competitors in the new markets you choose to enter.

The conduct that was illegal here was burying their comparison shopping competitor's websites in Google search results, not "making improvements" to something.
I don't think so. My passport is somewhere around the house so I can't just grab it to check but last time I came in they just put it on a scanner and took a photograph of me when I went through immigration.
> I want to thank that, but companies still prefer to hoard IP's, if only to keep others from working with it. There are several IP's from now defunct companies that got picked up by non-gaming studios, who obviously have no intention of ever making a game. They just want a cut if anyone ever wants to try. Or to sue when fans try to do stuff with it.

And this is exactly why the suggestion upthread is a good one. As a society, we shouldn't allow people to hoard IP and withhold it from the public.

I think I spent a dollar, maybe two, at the flea market, on our second hand mechanical ice cream maker. The social benefits of having the various kids, always including the guests', working it, trading off until the beautiful result happened, makes me intensely glad we weren't being judged by having some of these oh so awesome technological miracles expected.

Yeah, I don't envy your knowledge or experience.
Bad analogy. In the company name case, there’s a registry (list) with a gatekeeper (filter) in front of it rejecting very simple inputs (small strings) that don’t conform to their standards. You literally can’t get your company name on this list if you don’t pass muster. One might even say the list is “sanitized”.
>Your comment strongly implied that you think that Israel overreacted to Oct 7. So I am curious what you think their response should have been.

How about a reaction that wouldn't lead the ICC issuing arrest warrants for the government officials leading the response for crimes against humanity ?

I'm not sure what people act so daft, pretending the Israeli response of the last year was just a totally normal and standard military operation and not a clinical live streamed genocide.
As long as it's still for sale, and sales will actually get fulfilled, and there's a reasonably-widely available platform the game will still run on, that's fine. The point of the 5-year suggestion is to ensure that people continue to have access to these works. Forcing things into the public domain (after a 5-year not-for-sale period) is one way. Keeping things for sale so people can buy them is another.

> Often binning fully-finished releases without ever letting it be sold ever

If something hasn't been released yet, and never will be, then why does it matter? It might as well not exist.

No one should be obligated to publish something they want to keep private, for whatever reason.
The endgame is undisclosed promotional content seamlessly inserted into algorithmic output. And of course this will be too indirect and obfuscated to be regulated. If you think lack of corporate accountability is bad now, wait until all reputation and liability have been fully laundered to AI.
It's always just been cyclic and continues to be.

The era you're calling back to to was just a hard push back against a post-war surge in clean imagery and buttoned up moralizing, amplified by the Hollywood Code, but you need only go back to the early forties to see and hear wide open celebrations of tawdry lives, and can dig back farther again to see repressive times around the Prohibition era, which you might reasonably assumed was in response to a time that was not so repressive at all, etc etc

In many areas, we can see the incoming generations being the new teetotalars and moralizers eager to temper things down again.

As for the role of feminism, it's found a voice on both sides all along, during all of the cycles. That's its reflection of true freedom. Even during the "Free Love" era and its direct continuance, the Gloria Steinem voices were driving a different vision than the ones celebrating "free love". And in fact, you can see a through line of that tradition within feminism to the one you're critiquing in the present.
