That proves the value of a well-regulated financial system.

And yet… there have been lawsuits that surfaced memos and audio clips where GOP strategists were blatant about developing proxies for “is black”.

One example would be a black neighborhood having 1 voting machine so that the line is so long there isn’t time for everyone to vote.

Meanwhile a white neighborhood has dozens of polling places, each with many machines.

Point taken but I’m pretty sure working class people choose based on initial cost, not bang/range for the buck.

Drat! I hoped this was going to cover the internal battle where Google executives trying to stop JPEG XL and how engineers finally convinced them to change their minds.

My guess: the engineers didn’t win the argument. The executives just gave up once all the other browsers had added support.

Etsy’s SRE team invented statsd in 2011

The talk he gave at Usenix LISA was one of the best ever!

(LISA is now SRECon)

Don’t forget about Lotus Network Notes!

It was one of AT&T’s attempts to “kill the internet”.

The people working on it were down the hall from me when I was at AT&T.

It only worked on Novell networking. I asked how they plan on dealing with various Novell limits and they’d respond with blank stares.

The plan was to restrict it to only work on AT&T networks. So, it was more of a marketing ploy than a technology.

When I’d ask “how could this little project beat the internet, which is huge and growing exponentially?” And was told basically they believed if they could act fast enough, nobody would know the internet existed.

And people wonder why I had no faith in AT&T management.

> This change does not affect Google Workspace aliases or other Gmail addresses you own.

I bet most people complaining about this change don’t even know this feature exists.

Right now you can forge email from any email address you can verify ownership.

Most of those emails will end up in a spam folder.

This doesn’t affect email addresses that Google controls DMARC records for.

This is FANTASTIC! I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair.

Have you seen DNSControl?

If you want a serious alternative to the Route53 API, there's an open source project called https://dnscontrol.org/ DNSControl. It's like Terraform for DNS but it doesn't suck like Terraform.

Version v5.0 just shipped. It's a major rewrite that makes it much more extensible.

Maybe instead of being an author your should have had the foresight to be Jeff Bezos.

Can they do something similar so that caps include the full date/time? I hate when caps are perpetually “1 hour ago”.

So… what language do you use?

No (useful) language is simple. Claiming go is not simple without naming a language for comparison is a party foul.

The difference is now the US has a leader that is actively encouraging its downfall.

(Replying to my own post). Also, it’s gotta be mentally draining to be told by the president they have to win but also always let Russian attacks though.

I suspect the Cold War of cyber warfare that is happening is orders of magnitude bigger than the public knows.

Imagine knowing this and not being able to get emotional support from your friends and family.

That turned out to be false. Normal attrition / vacation time.

SPF flattening is difficult to get correct and then you have to check it every so often to update it.

DNSControl automates this. https://docs.dnscontrol.org/language-reference/domain-modifi...

(It’s open source)

"The best way to teach something new is to compare it to something the audience already understands."

Could someone take the example, reduce it to a non-generic version for two types I DO understand, then show that with the new feature I can collapse them into the Box/Map example in the doc?

I have 10+ years of Go experience and I can't make heads or tails of "(b Box[T]) Map[U any](f func(T) U) Box[U]"

He was also executive director of both the USENIX Association in its very early years.

“Dictators stay in power until there are food riots” is what every sociologist I know tells me.

I hope the “riots” are in the form of voting.

Ada was also ignored because the typical compiler cost tens of thousands of dollars. No open source or free compiler existed during the decades where popular languages could be had for free.

I think that is the biggest factor of all.

I’m old enough to remember when the FSF said that blocking spam was censorship. Good to see them wake up.

Whatbmakes you say that? Devs use stacked PRs in small and large repos today.

I will speculate the DDOS attacks are funded by companies and governments that benefit from not being held accountable for their past deeds. I suspect X, Google, China, PRNK, Hungary, etc

If Dijkstra blamed Knuth it would have been the best recursive joke ever.

I hear you, friend!

While you were seeing those problems with Java at Google, I saw seeing it with Python.

So many levels of indirection. Holy cow! So many unneeded superclasses and mixins! You can’t reason about code if the indirection is deeper than the human mind can grasp.

There was also a belief that list comprehensions were magically better somehow and would expand to 10-line monstrosities of unreadable code when a nested for loop would have been more readable and just as fast but because list comprehensions were fetishized nobody would stop at their natural readability limits. The result was like reading the run-on sentence you just suffered through.

This is the way.
