Europe was able to impose policies to Greece because Greece was requesting loans from Europe. Those loans were required because other investors were unhappy that Greece had hidden the real state of its finance in its reports.

and for a while the status was "there might be issues on azure portal".

now there is an information about "Azure Portal Access Issues". No word about front door being down.

official status pages are useless most of the time.

There is no way to measure awareness. We can only know we are aware ourselves. For all we know trees or rocks might have awareness. Or I could be the only being aware of itself in the universe. We have no way to prove anything about it. Therefore it is not a useful descriptor of intelligence (be it human, animal or artificial).

This is factully wrong. You are confusing react with nextjs. React produce html documents, and the first usecase was reactdom, a pure client rendering library.

I work on the SSO stack in a b2b company with about 200k monthly active users. One blind spot in our monitoring is when an error occurs on the client's identity provider because of a problem on our side. The service is unusable and we don't have any error logs to raise an alert. We tried to setup an alert based on expected vs actual traffic but we concluded that it would create more problems for the reason you provided.

Oauth defines bearers tokens without requesting them to be jwt.

New comment by sbergot in "OOP is not that bad"

sbergot — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 05:59:15 +0000

Except it is biased in its conclusion:

> However, unlike our OOP example, existing code that uses the Logger type and log function cannot work with this new type. There needs to be some refactoring, and how the user code will need to be refactored depends on how we want to expose this new type to the users.

It is super simple to create a Logger from a FileLogger an pass that to old code. In OOP you also need to refactor code when you are changing base types, and you need to think about what to expose to client code.

To me option 1 is the correct simple approach, but the author dissmisses it for unclear reasons.

I agree. There are enough standard places to put metadata in a website.

Grid has a lot of features but flex is simple enough and still very powerful

A simple example is the Result which could have either Ok(T value) or Error(string message). In order to get the value you need to switch over both cases, forcing you to handle the error case locally.

I believe this is a good thing even if it will cause many issues. Humanity will have to live on earth for a long time and infinite growth is not sustainable. So at some point the population has to fluctuate. We will have to accept this reality.

Do we? Is the global population about to collapse? Isn't an increase of global population going to cause more issues?

When you accept donations you have to be transparent about how it is going to be used. They cannot change their mind like that.

Thank you for making that! I was using a plugin to export to markdown but it wasn't ideal.

Other companies are also trying to make their product better. If other products are not able to compete this can become a problem for the users.
