Cloudflare had only 100 PoPs just a few years ago. Bunny has been around 10 years, but didn't get the cash injection from Google like Cloudflare did.

If you read the article, Bunny uses Deno, CF uses a cut down version of Chromeium (each instance is like a browser tab; isolated). Thus the API difference.

But I do agree, CF is building out more of a suite.
Any benchmarks against ClickHouse?
Personally I only use it for battery savings when camping or similar. It's not the kind of thing everyone cares about. I think we're long past the days where a flight full of phones frantically searching for towers during takeoff/landing would degrade the network for people on the ground, as may have been true way back when (and why) airplane mode was adopted as a standard feature.
Fundamentally it doesn’t matter whether 51% or 99% of a state goes for candidate A, assuming it is winner-takes-all in that state (a few aren’t.)
Just to be clear, saying “Vital” is overselling it, but it’s a nice thing to do. Being a ham operator is unpaid volunteer work, so over praise and “thanks” and calling it “vital” is really just being nice to a service someone provided that probably took 10-20 hours of their time for no compensation.

It’s nice for an emergency response team to reach out to a local ham emergency group and just delegate to them “hey why don’t you operate this net on this repeater and let us know if anyone reaches out to you? hit us up on XYZ frequency when that happens? Ok thanks”.

That’s one less task for a busy group to worry about. And if it saves or helps 1 person, then “it was vital in the rescue effort”. Heck, even if it doesn’t do anything “well it saved us from having a dedicated resource to just man a UHF/VHF repeater and keep announcing a net every 10 minutes, so it was ‘vital’ by freeing up 1 team member”

In an emergency situation you can take any person off the street and give them a 5-minute primer on how to operate a radio. That’s really all it takes. They don’t need to know FCC rules, band plans, how radios are made, RF propagation properties, antenna theory, or any of that crap. “Tune to a frequency, push to talk, any questions?”
Maybe you would have used QNX as an engineer flex in 2012, but as an embedded firmware dev myself, I'd laugh if someone suggested we use QNX for anything. Besides the licensing issues... just why? It confers no imaginable benefit versus any one of dozens of alternatives. It's like if someone suggested I run Haiku on my work laptop.

As one example, satellites won't help in situations such as marathons. The problem with marathons is the number of devices that are trying to access a limited spectrum. A satellite station will have bandwidth limitations as well, as its most likely use is through WiFi.

The example in the QRPer article above indicates a different limitation. He did have a satellite dish for internet access, but there was no way to distribute that signal over multiple mile radius, which is what he did with both FM simplex and at some point with 2 meter repeaters. For such communication to work, all parties would need a dish.

He invited neighbors to come over to use his internet service so they could make wifi calls to family.

His daughters and wife staffed the FM channels, keeping the local net alive.
Is there a reason why there seemingly aren't any frameworks to do all the fancy web flourish in a normal language and then have it compile down to plain HTML5 + CSS + SVG?
Sunbeam is a popular one. Also a bunch of Nokias should work.

There is also the Xiaomi/Qin/Duoqin F30. It’s a T9 phone with Android 11. But the “Westernized” version with Google Play Store has tampered with software (hacks applied) as the original Chinese software doesn’t have Google stuff nor is the phone Play verified. Then there are questions about the Chinese software itself. I’ve gone deep into the rabbit hole of trying to verify it’s secure but couldn’t to a satisfactory standard.

The F30 is still considered a dumbphone for how limiting the T9 keyboard and its tiny screen are. You won’t enjoy consuming or searching for any kind of content on it. But you can install many modern Android apps if you are comfortable with the security situation. And that’s quite important sometimes to not get isolated from people, to bank, for 2FA, streaming music, and a few other things. It’s basically then a capable but highly inconvenient phone, which I think is excellent.

Still, if you want privacy and security, how many days are you willing to sink into tinkering with these Xiaomi/Qin/Duoqin devices? You will need at least a few, possibly more.

It’s much less hassle to just get whatever dumb phone with a feature OS you can get on Amazon or Walmart.
If a persons goal is to disenfranchise young & poor voters, but enfranchise those that hunt and or have more money (which closely associates to being white), then hunting license & drivers license makes perfect sense while rejecting student licenses.

To your point of how official they are to obtain: "Hunting licenses can generally be purchased at any retail outlet that deals in hunting and fishing equipment, such as sporting goods stores." [1]

University ID cards are generally hard to get, and significant if forged. Let's not gloss over the other side of this coin where this type of fraud that is prevented by voter id is vanishingly small. To be blunt, it really is just a modern poll tax, a way to disenfranchise specific demographics.

Will such a system handle a sudden demand nearing the maximum capacity of its terrestrial counterpart? That's really the crux of the issue: in an emergency public networks can be overwhelmed.

Many county government agencies don't work with hams anymore because they have sat links and other communication available to them. I'm sure as technology progresses and it becomes feasible and affordable to give individual first responders satcom abilities, but I'm not sure that every person with a cell phone will be able to stabily access satcom in an emergency for a while yet.
If you just need the Postgres -> S3 archival pattern you described, I built a simpler focused tool: pg-archiver (https://github.com/johnonline35/pg-archiver)

It:

- Auto-archives old Postgres data to Parquet files on S3

- Keeps recent data (default 90 days) in Postgres for fast viz queries

- Uses year/month partitioning in S3 for basic analytical queries

- Configures with just PG connection string and S3 bucket

Currently batch-only archival (no real-time sync yet). Much lighter than running a full analytical DB if you mainly need timeseries visualization with occasional historical analysis.

Let me know if you try it out!
Well that's not really shocking to fans of the series. Every entry past Diablo II has been shamelessly pay-to-win.
I like to think of it more like a scale. Some things are closer to being invented, other things are closer to being discovered.

I'd say we've discovered pi, and the fractional quantum Hall effect[1]. And I'd say we've invented low-density parity-check codes[2] and single-photon avalanche diodes[3].

Thanks for the comments! I have been following developments in MT and AI as close as I can and have been interested in how well MT works—or doesn’t—in real-life situations, but I don’t get much opportunity to experience such situations myself. Your description of your work environment is really valuable to me.

Your report about some of your non-Japanese colleagues not making much progress with Japanese matches my own experience in academia. A few years after I started working at the university, we began hiring a steady stream of youngish academics from around the world to teach academic writing classes in English to undergraduates. Some of them already had good Japanese ability, and the others all started out wanting to learn. But being busy with teaching and research and being able to get by in Tokyo with just English meant that few of the latter group made much progress beyond basic conversation. The language is hard, adult life is busy, and acquiring languages gets steadily harder for most of us as we get older.

I also wonder about how Japan will change and adapt as the native population continues to decrease. At the government and business levels, the overall response to the growing foreign population seems to be a slow shift toward adaptation. Among the general population, it’s hard for me to tell.
I've worked in some fairly drab offices, I can't think of a single one that didn't have free coffee, albeit bad, Folgers-tier coffee sometimes. Slashing free office coffee won't help anybody's bottom line that much, and probably feels like a slap in the face. Also, since people now have to slip out for coffee, it probably has a negative effect on productivity.

ARM can't win fast enough, if you ask me.
The point is that exercise can remove the underlying problem. And those who stay active enough don't develop it in the first place. Doc was amazed that I wasn't on any maintenance meds at 55. (Since then I've gone on blood pressure meds but if other health issues were resolved I don't think I would need them.)

Anybody can spike to 180 in a sufficiently stressful situation. (And, personally, I would very much notice 180. Otherwise calm, I'll probably notice 140.)

Most drivers are reasonable, but some use their vehicles as weapons to punish cyclists for slowing them down -- even though in SF, you're likely to end up at the same stop light in 30 seconds.

When I bicycle commuted in the city, I had about one incident a week of a driver close passing or cussing me out. In one incident, a driver revved their engine at me and followed me home because I reminded them that they had to give three feet of space when passing. I thought I was going to die when they went for their glovebox. If I ever cycle commute again, it will be with a concealed weapon.

In other contexts, using violence for political ends would be called terrorism. On our roads it's just another day.
I once actually got denied and had to buy a smaller box (for the same price). What the hell happens to families with multiple teens who all get sick at the same time?
A surprisingly simple pattern can give a pleasing melody:

The driver who hit me on my bike didn’t give a shit, and only even came back because a friendly motorcyclist chased and caught him.
The driver who hit me on foot also didn’t care, and didn’t have insurance, and had multiple previous violations - and both his parents had hit pedestrians before as well.
One of my favorite papers is "A simple and convenient synthesis of pseudoephedrine from N-methylamphetamine" [1].

This is a satirical paper. Because pseudoephedrine (i.e. the good decongestant) is very difficult to obtain due to restrictions, but "N-methylamphetamine can be procured at almost any time on short notice", the paper describes how to synthesize pseudoephedrine from meth with a procedure that looks valid.

> Just to be clear, saying “Vital” is overselling

One of the motivations for the Chicago Marathon group to reach out to the ham club was was that in a previous year a runner died due to inadequate communication. I would call the prevention of that or even less serious health consequences Vital.

> That’s really all it takes.

I would put a strong disagree about this as well.

You are leaving out a lot of the protocol for operation. This takes a bit of training and experience to be able to handle lots of situations, like when to talk, when to listen, and what to do if you are unsure if your communication has been received or not.

I agree - and i’d even say the issue here is literally not markets or capitalism. If anything, without markets or capitalism the issue would be a lot worse. At least there is still an option to get those things (in most cases) rather than ‘wait in a line for 20 years’ like in other systems. (cough USSR)

+ take off some workload from your server
+ mini applets (eg signup forms are great edge use-case)

> The next question is whether there are programs with lower time bounds that can be made arbitrarily large. Actually, we don't know the answer to that. Cryptography assumes the answer is yes, but that's an assumption.

Cryptography does not assume that. It only needs a certain amount of slowness, and a large polynomial like n^20 is more than sufficient. But more importantly the best case for cryptographic security is exponential time. Cryptography ignores the entire science of super large numbers.

To really boil down what cryptography needs, it's problems that take ≤2^40 operations to verify but ≥2^200 (irreversible) operations to solve. It doesn't actually need to scale at all.

Also it's not hard to make programs that take huge amounts of time. In particular, a program that uses exponential time and leaves an exponentially long output is downright trivial to write. In pseudocode: while(i++ < 2^n) output.append(1)
It's more than just that inconvenience (which is not a small one) it's that Mastodon is just a bunch of silos by interest in the end. You lose so much of the network effect for discoverability, both inwards and outwards. We've gotten used to having access to a whole world of networks via one centralized thing. I like the algorithm (with finessing). I want the 'suggested' posts of interest. With a good selection of follows, some amazing content gets surfaced/sent your way. I totally get the need/desire to break free of the company lock in, but Mastodon repeatedly shows how it is not it. The silos. The defederation risks. The missing community/participation unless you're really into only certain niches etc (still 'waiting' for more of the community to migrate over from twitter, waiting for engagement to pick up etc...). Might as well be on forums for interests again, which I have that already (HN for example). Anyways, lots of gripes. The fragmentation of the social network space has killed huge chunks of its value and the boat sailed on the 'grand fediverse moment' because it isn't grand in the end. Twitter has been a slow death losing a bunch of its value (but not really all of it, still huge amount of major posting, news, current happenings on there), which in many spaces has caused a growth in other centralized things like Instagram and Tik Tok. But we're talking 'microblogging' and putting the effort in to a platform like Mastodon, or even Bluesky when it's still figuring things out that are well established elsewhere, it's a tough sell.

Kinda, not really. It’s different per version of the client. The source on GitHub is usually super out of date and it’s unlikely the distributed version is built off the GitHub source unmodified.

> None of these ring true for me.

In what way?

> What do you mean by "maintenance overhead"? I don't find Postgres needs much maintenance let along FAR less.

At small scale, you likely won’t notice. Once your tables get up to 10s or 100s of millions of rows, you will.

Autovacuum will need tuning, both globally and per-table.

Indices will need periodic re-indexing.

Specific columns in tables may need custom statistics targets.

TXID wraparound, though this isn’t so much maintenance as it is a waking nightmare that you have to monitor for.

Don’t get me wrong, I quite like Postgres. However, IME from having ran large-ish (10s of TB) clusters of both, MySQL tends to Just Work.

> ID check is productive at 1) registration - ensure eligibility and 2) at ballot casting - ensure the voter is registered and unique. The inverse is true without ID: no insuring eligibility and no ensuring either registration or uniqueness.

So what is the concrete difference an ID check makes to the process, and what concrete attack does it prevent? You already get your name checked and crossed off the list, in a world with an ID check you would... get your name checked and crossed off the list?

>The reason for this is very simple. Section 230 means you can't target a corporation that hosts content by other people, for content you dislike.

No. Section 230 means you can't target the proprietor of a website/online property (whether it's a corporation, some other sort of organization or an individual) for content posted on those properties by third parties.

Revoking/removing Section 230 would allow the biggest corporations to continue hosting third-party speech, but would stop pretty much everyone else from doing so, as they likely can't afford to be sued by every crackpot who doesn't like what other folks say.
What great problem do you imagine?

A reboot of a phone is hardly the end of the word, and it's trivial and obvious to simply have the trigger conditions be slightly less simple and stupid. Like require some user activity. Require the pin again or some other reassurance.

What happens if one is in a place with no connectivity? What indeed? Nothing much. That's what happens.
The original experiment was four days per week of the "exhaustive intermittent training" and a fifth day was 30 minutes of zone 2. That's what I followed. It does seem like that fifth day has been forgotten when people talk about Tabata. Like you said, "zone 2 training and HIIT/Tabata are not mutually exclusive," and I've gotten my best results when doing a few hours per week of zone 2 running with a dash of higher-speed intervals or repeats one day.

Now that I'm quite a bit older, despite maintaining my body weight and two-mile running time since then, I'd probably get hurt if I repeated the experiment.
