Calculating the digits of pi seems like a poor benchmark for comparing various languages in the context of backend web application performance. Even the GitHub readme points out the benchmark is entirely focused on floating point performance.

Its use looks contrived to me on the linked GitHub page. The comparison with @ and # is flawed because those symbols are part of the resource name, whereas here the symbol is superfluous. It’s like adding a 🌐 in front of every web URL.

simplified and decentralized as it was meant to be

The protocols behind email are extremely simple. You can open a terminal, connect to an smtp server, and send an email by typing literally plain English commands.

Its simplicity and decentralization is exactly why spam and phishing is such a problem. Anyone can send an email as anyone else. Protocols for authentication were later introduced to at least mitigate impersonation, but those too are very simple and decentralized.

Maybe you should learn how email works today before trying to reinvent it.

Great! Now you’ll not only need to convert between timezones but also between metric and standard time.

Also the respective intervals adjusted by leap days and leap seconds will be different!

Those companies aren’t “the Internet.” They’re products connected to the Internet.

The OP argument is like saying the Internet is dead because Netflix is down.

Doubtful. By far, most servers responsible for Internet traffic are not running crowdstrike software.

This incident was a bunch of fortune 500 companies caught with their pants down.

KOTTO brand with magnetic base. The arms and base are very sturdy.

How do I hold the wire, iron, solder and the board if I only have two hands?

This! I found a nice set of “helping hands” and they’re… really helpful!

Thank you kind internet stranger!

Step 2 has never been very clear to me and this diagram doesn’t seem to explain it either.

• Do you touch the tip of the solder to the iron, the pin, or the pad?

• Do you push the tip of the solder down into the pad, draw it up along the pin, or pull it away as it melts?

• Why does the solder sometimes flow onto the iron instead of staying on the pad?

How does it verify the command is valid? Does it run what I enter?

If so, just give it an infinite loop followed by some attempt at a tar command:

while true; do :; done; tar -xyz

I’m all for single payer in the US but this diagram is a bit misleading.

• There’s still a program receiving government funding (e.g. Medicare).
• There’s still admin and billing (for the government program).

What I assume you’re really gutting are profits and shareholders for insurance companies. (Good, because healthcare in my opinion should not be a profit driven business in any respect.)

What I fear, however, is who is in power at any given time might change the care you receive if such a system isn’t setup with safeguards and ironclad mandates.

For instance, Republicans would absolutely attempt, through legislation, executive order, and the courts, to implement an effective federal ban on abortion or healthcare for trans and LGBTQ groups by changing how/if a single payer system would cover these services.

I would also be worried about the public availability of coverage data such that lists of frequent providers for these services are easily obtained and become a tool for harassment by religious zealots.

Or, imagine an anti-vaxxer put in charge of the program during the next pandemic.

How do other countries deal with these issues? Or, have politics become so broken in the US that this is a somewhat uniquely American problem?

Thanks for the clarification and I believe I misunderstood your original comment.

To add to your list there is an often underutilized feature of GitHub for discussions too.

You mean pretty much a single GitHub account?

Also your quick question may have already been asked and answered but difficult to find on Discord. Or if it hasn’t been asked yet, now a future person can’t discover the same question easily. So either way you’re just wasting other people’s time.

Really interesting! I wonder what would happen if you combine these two properties. Suppose some length of the middle is all walls, and the hooks are infill, or vice versa. Is there an optimal mix that maximizes the weight it can support in your testing, or have you found the optimal configuration (with infill along the entire length) already?
