> Starting a new process for each request doesn't feel right.
I think there is a misunderstanding of how stdio works. The process can be long running and receive requests via stdio at any time. No need to start one for each request.
Salmon farms need to go. They are a plague to the wild salmon populations.
Here in BC Canada, our local area wild salmon populations are finally recovering after the closure of the local salmon farms.
They crowd fish in biologically hazardous conditions, then pump them with antibiotics and chemicals to keep them alive. All this in open water pens shared with the rest of the ecosystem.
One better solution seem to be inland salmon farms.
Wild salmon are too critical to many food chains both in the water and on land.
It's comforting to see first nations of canada recovering a central role in modern canadian society.
However, having lived here for a year a year now, I have observed a concerning aspect of this re-integration, which is mentioned in the article: First nations aren't just propped back up and re-integrated in society, it goes further in that they are given special rights that go beyond what any other class of canadian citizens have access to. In this case it is exemption from zoning laws, but all over the country it's access to mining, lumber and fishing rights. They are exempted from federal quotas on fishing, cutting forests, etc ...
On moral grounds, I find it questionable to give some citizens special birth rights greater than others. But on more practical grounds, this is creating a great big loophole for the traditional resource extraction companies to circumvent environment regulation by partnering with first nations on projects.
Fun article. Surprised it doesn't mention the Peters projection map.
You cannot have both area fidelity and shape fidelity to represent countries on a map.
If you want area fidelity, the Gall-Peters [1] projection and the Peters world map [2] (1952) by Arno Peters are the way to visualize countries, whereas common maps focus on shape-fidelity.
Feels like Vimeo missed an opportunity to be the home of creatives.
They had the right brand perception for it, and were there early.
A video producer friend persevered hard to continue using it from 2012 to 2019, but out of chronic frustration with its product design, sadly moved to youtube.
I got the sense of a general stubborn "we know what's right for you, you don't" attitude in their product design. And it seemed to satisfy no significant public well.
Great to see them be more clear, wish them the best.
I really enjoyed google's https://github.com/golang/groupcache. Learned both about the language, and quality network application design, in a small package.
it's good to hear there are legitimate use cases. Care to share some examples? For me, and likely many others, the nefarious ones are the first that come to mind.
Assuming incorporation benefactor details would be kept private by the state, the only legit use-case I can think of is protection from politically motivated actions by public bodies.
Or is the fear that no list can truly be kept private, even by the state, and it would eventually be hacked or leaked, violating privacy?
However, no mention of this basic head scratcher in the docs. :rolling_eyes:
