Same logic with communism - all the ones that ended in oppressive dictatorships, mass executions or starvation weren't "real communism" or weren't "implemented right"...

Ah - I've used S2 in the past. Great work. It scales really well for larger datasets.

Interesting that you mention the use of multiple hilbert curves as well. We also experimented with two Hilbert Curves, rotated by 90 degrees. This helps to get around what we've dubbed the "Hilbert Equator" problem where two objects are quite far on the curve because they are placed close to one of the major fault lines in the fractal (for lack of a better word)

What's the reason behind the sudden, violent drop off from the front page for a few posts? They seem to be on a fairly linear trajectory and then go down by 30+ positions within a 10 min window.

I understand the fundamental motivation for this sort of thing. The web is a static document display that over many decades of augmentation and extension has morphed into an app development platform. And arguably, a lot of the mechanics of it are less elegant than in purpose build app-development environments.

But, I don't think another language that tries to abstract the fundamentals is the solution to that. I think this is true for Hyperscript - as much as it is for JSX and Co. JavaScript is the most widely known programming language, has the most extensive knowledge base and the biggest ecosystem. And there's no shortage of frameworks that make using it easier without reinventing the wheel.

I believe using anything else for a serious project severely limits the talent pool from which you can hire, the ecosystem you can draw from and the maintainability of your project in the long run.

It speaks specifically about "Foreign Adversaries" which - to my knowledge - is limited to China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.

I believe folders (or groups or similar) are the right solution to this, just not in the way that Google is implementing it. Basically, you group resources into folders and then users have read or write access to that folder.

This way, your database guys can access one big folder with all the database stuff, your server guys can access server stuff and your frontend guys can deploy to an S3 bucket, but not much more.

This is the level of granularity you need in the real world. i don't believe that any organisation, no matter how big or sophisticated has an employee that can have roles/datastore.backupsAdmin, but not roles/datastore.backupSchedulesAdmin.

Mostly the fact that this was 15 years ago :-)

Absolutely! I'm grateful that I don't have to worry about code formatting any more. But I remember in one of my earliest job the company used style checkers as a pre-commit hook that rejected your commit if they found trailing whitespace. That was before code formatting was part of your IDE. (Especially for us front end devs who used Notepad++ rather than an IDE at the time).

And notepad++ had no easy way of showing trailing whitespace. So every commit was a dance of commit -> read rejection log -> remove trailing whitespace -> commit again.

1 million certificates each day - it's amazing to see how much of a cornerstone of the internet Let's Encrypt has become.

Looks great, but is there a way to generate diagrams for my documentation without using the app?
