Excellent point, but that's configuration not code. Also weird that it does send it down the pipe every time, I don't do apache or whatever it is the kids think is hip these days but it shouldn't be that hard to fix ... surely?

No, it’s code to generate different resource names every time the asset updates, because you have to alter the references to them. I’ve worked on systems that do this for a very big site. I assure you that it’s code and not just a server config issue to do it properly.

wait just a second, i've worked on a few sites that i didn't write but ended up owning that were federal, large public facing websites

not one of those idiots writing things loving made up random names for serving static content

why in the gently caress would you do that

Subjunctive posted:

You do it because then you ideally only have to serve a given version of an asset a single time to any given client, like I said. It lets you set expiry way in the future, maximizing the chances that the client caches a resource hard enough that it won’t even check over the network on next load. When you have a new version of the resource you generate a new name, often but not always by hashing, and the client never requests an out-of-date version, so you don’t have to worry about a client seeing a mix of versions of different deploys. (There are other tricks too, like back-dated Last-Modified headers, which improve the non-validating hit rate.)

You can see the results of it by opening the network console tab and watching the script requests go by on facebook.com after a hard reload and then another visit. The subscripts are generated names, and you can see that they’re set to expire a year or so in the future. It saves a lot of network requests and bandwidth both, but it requires a bit of code to set it up. Many other top-100 sites do it too, usually each in different ways. You can do it by hand or semi-manually if your resources don’t change very often and you’re diligent about making sure the transitive closure of resources is intact each time.

So that’s why the gently caress. You can use tools like webpack or gulp to do this today, if it’s not worth rolling your own. Maybe something to tell your buddies back on those Large Federal Sites!

So what you're saying is we should make lowtax into a Funko?

Honestly I feel like Funko would be weirdly willing to make a limited fundraiser Funko Pop of the taxman. The fact that we all hate Funko Pops would just make us all buy it begrudgingly instead of happily.

I mean, I feel like the best option here would be to do a Doom House set, with Reginald P. Linux, Officer Cop, Officer Cop (Terrorist) and the doll. Have 75% of the proceeds go to the "Richard Kyanka Spinal Injury Foundation," aka Lowtax's bank account.

With NSWRs, it’s “the demons want to start a riot really badly but we’ve segregated them in a maze of twisty little passages so we think they won’t be able to till the door hits them in the arse on the way out”.

Just to clarify:

NSWR stands for nuclear salt water rocket.

There is such a thing as an "ordinary" nuclear thermal rocket. It involves a nuclear reactor making a shitload of heat, and then passing a fluid like water or hydrogen through it to heat it and make it expand so it goes out a rocket nozzle at high speed, creating thrust. This is relatively sane, despite the use of a nuclear reactor. They've never flown but they have been tested on the ground.

A NSWR does not use "salt water" as the fluid above. It is a nuclear salt... water rocket. Salts of plutonium or enriched uranium (like how table salt is a salt of sodium) are dissolved in water. Subcritical amounts of the nuclear salt water are pumped into a reaction chamber, where all the radioactive bits see all their radioactive friends, and throw a fiesta. Criticality is achieved, which is the atomic industry's deadpan way of saying "there is a horrendous explosion", and all the nuclear salt water fires itself the gently caress out of the back side of the chamber, which turns out to also have been a rocket nozzle. Nuclear salt water rockets are propelled by a continuous atomic explosion.

The only atomic propulsion device I've heard of that is less sane is Project Orion, which would have involved chucking hundreds of atomic bombs underneath an enormous steel plate with a spaceship on top and riding the explosion like a Warthog in Blood Gulch.
