Overdraft limits restrict how much into the negative your bank account can go. Credit ratings are designed to help paint a story about risk, for lenders to consider when deciding how much money you can be loaned, and at what interest rate.

Both of those things existed in the early 2000s, but if the risk of a loan can (appear to) be shifted onto someone else, banks can and will issue bigger and riskier loans to people, and will reward the individual people selling the loans personally.

Ah you are right, sorry. Somehow I learned on the networks section and stuff for there. Sorry for that.

I went through the journey of having multiple technologies VPNs to my home lab and cross-places. This is fun, a rewarding exercice.

I switched to first Headscale, and then Tilescale for the ease of setting this up, which frees time for other home lab activities

Well, biological sex is not well-defined. See Ullrich Turner syndrome and similar genetic differences. It does not affect that many but it still affects them. Technically with X0 they would be female (since they have no Y-chromosome) but are they really female? Same rationale for other such genetic conditions.

This here has more to do with Trump pushing down a certain agenda. They also only focus on what they conveniently look as a "problem" while ignoring every other situation, such as genetic conditions.

One of the best P2P software at the time. It was so simple and effective and allowed people to call real phones with Skype credit.

A genius product ripped my Microsoft. Have you used Microsoft Teams recently? Bad UI, hard to configure external hardware and good level of incompatibility, missing the good old "Echo / Sound Test Service". At a point I even installed Skype of my old Android but was sucking up too much battery.

The reason XHTML failed is because the spec required it to be sent with a new MIME type (application/xml+xhtml I believe) which no webserver did out of the box. Everything defaulted to text/html, which all browsers would interpret as HTML, and given the mismatching doctype, would interpret as tag soup (quirks mode/lenient).

Meanwhile, local files with the doctype would be treated as XHTML, so people assumed the doctype was all you needed. So everyone who tried to use XHTML didn't realize that it would go back to being read as HTML when they upload it to their webserver/return it from PHP/etc. Then, when something went wrong/worked differently than expected, the author would blame XHTML.

Edit: I see that I'm getting downvoted here; if any of this is factually incorrect I would like to be educated please.

The President just declared that charities for the homeless, mutual aid groups, etc are terrorist organizations full of literal terrorists and people financing terrorism. Among those terrorists are people who dare to protest against his actions.

You don't label people and organizations terrorists, probably the worst designation the post-9/11 US state can give anyone, unless you have plans to do something about them. Even Obama droned Americans to death that the state deemed were terrorists without trial.

That, at the very least, should give you pause.

I’m interested to see how this compares with other heroku clones. The compassion stuff is interesting. I’m using apps on digitalocean. Can we get a comparaison of using app with droplet+blossom?

I’m with the other person too. Drop the emojis and your confidence goes up. We all know coding agents JUST LOVE filling up a document with emojis. It makes you wonder if it’s imagined the benefits too

> I thought sex != gender

Correct.

> sex field which means the biological sex

The idea that there's a binary "biological sex" is also wrong. There are many choices for what you can mean by that and for every one there will be outliers that classify as both/neither. (the points bounce up and down, but - feel free to post the specific criteria that you think avoid this issue instead)

This is incorrect, quoting Linux 6.7 release (Jan 2024):

"This release introduces the [Btrfs] RAID stripe tree, a new tree for logical file extent mapping where the physical mapping may not match on multiple devices. This is now used in zoned mode to implement RAID0/RAID1* profiles, but can be used in non-zoned mode as well. The support for RAID56 is in development and will eventually fix the problems with the current implementation."

I've not kept with more recent releases but there has been progress on the issue

Thanks for the video!

Yes, from chatgpt:

These are so-called “radiative cooling paints.”

Here’s how they work:

They reflect almost all sunlight, so the surface doesn’t heat up.

At the same time, they emit thermal radiation in a specific infrared range (around 8–13 micrometers) that can pass through the Earth’s atmosphere and escape into space.

Such paint can make surfaces cooler than the surrounding air, even in sunlight.

So it doesn’t convert solar energy into another form — it selectively reflects and emits infrared radiation that sends heat directly into space.

Everything is just context, of course. Every time I see a blog post on "the nine types of agentic memory" or some such I have a similar reaction.

I would say that systems like this are about getting the agent to correctly choose the precisely correct context snippet for the exact subtask it's doing at a given point within a larger workflow. Obviously you could also do that manually, but that doesn't scale to running many agents in parallel, or running automomously for longer durations.
by redhale | 2025-10-12 10:23:12+00:00
Subagents are a critical feature that GH Copilot still lacks. They allow your main agent to use another agent as a tool, meaning the main agent's context doesn't get nearly as polluted. Good read on the benefits of this pattern: https://jxnl.co/writing/2025/08/29/context-engineering-slash...

Of course, the problem with having your data available even for a day or so, lets say because that day you didn't read your e-mails, will mean, that your data will be trained on, used for M$ purposes. They will have powerful server farms at the ready holding your data at gun point, so that the moment they manage to fabricate fake consent, they are there to process your data, before you can even finish reading any late notification e-mail, if any.

Someone show me any cases, where big tech has successfully removed such data from already trained models, or in case of being unable to do that with the blackboxes they create, removed the whole blackbox, because a few people complain about their data being in those black boxes. No one can, because this has not happened. Just like ML models are used as laundering devices, they are also used as responsibility shields for big tech, who rake in the big money.

This is M$ real intention here. Lets not fool ourselves.

Not sure what you mean by “responsibilities are a function of scale”. “With great power comes great responsibility”?

Like I said, it is a good article, about an important topic, but you already knew that. I mostly agree with you - not that my opinion is particularly important. It prompted me to comment for only the second time.

I’ll take a lot at the rest of the series later.

Yet another claim without anything to back it up. I at least try to provide a relevant link when I state something. Which booby traps are you talking about? If they do exist, do you have any proof that they have killed civilians in Gaza?

What is this question about the number of terrorists and the targeting of buildings? It's well documented that the IDF lies about their targets, like the time they killed medics, burried them and their vehicle and claimed theywere approaching dangerously, but then when video proof showed they were lying they said it was a mistake.

The Wikipedia article hints that it went through the courts. Probably the only legally recognised rights were of the property (real estate) owners and those rights didn't include using the sidewalk as a display area and blasting out announcements on loudspeakers.

So $30,000 in 1962 was probably very generous, but these business owners held the WTC project ransom by demanding unreasonable payouts.

The wikipedia article mentioned that it went to court.

The TUNES [1] operating system and programming language project. The reason for its failure are described perfectly on the archival website:

> TUNES started in 1992-95 as an operating system project, but was never clearly defined, and it succumbed to design-by-committee syndrome and gradually failed. Compared to typical OS projects it had very ambitious goals, which you may find interesting.

I think the root cause is that the default window manager was just horribly designed for a long time. Instantiating new windows of an App is still a horribly designed, deeply frustrating workflow on Mac OS that is just seamless and easy on Linux and Windows. I ended up linking Aerospace to some godawful Applescript just to be able to open a new Safari window without being flung across spaces to an existing Safari window first.

Apple does some things best in class but the core design of windowing & using applications is just awful imo.

Difference is that with fiber you can put more data on same piece of glass or plastic or whatever just by swapping the parts at the end. And those are relatively small part of the cost. Most which is just getting the thing in place.

With GPUs and CPUs. You need to replace entire thing. And now they are the most expensive part of the system.

Other option is doing more with same computing power, but we have utterly failed with that in general...

Once you know the signs, either because you’ve done drugs or been around people who have done a lot of drugs, you see that a lot of people everywhere are high on something.

People always think all opioid addicts are slumped over passed out all the time. And that is usually only when their addiction is really far gone. Early on heroin addicts take moderate doses and keep on functioning. They watch a movie or play video games. You hear people talk about how “clean” the high is, because unlike alcohol they wake up the next day feeling great with no hangover. And they aren’t physically dependent at first, so they think, hey, this is nothing like all of the scary PSAs said it was.

It's indeed not a good one. Discord refined instant messaging and bolts other things on top like forums but isn't fundamentally different. Google Wave was (and still is) a completely different paradigm. Everything was natively collaborative: it mixed instant messaging with document edition (like Google Docs or pads) and any widget you could think of (polls, calendars, playing music, drawing, ...) could be added by users through sandboxed Javascript. The current closest I can think of is DeltaChat's webxdc.

As developers we get to question some things and simplify the systems a bit from time to time. Next time someone wants a "Title" field for a customer - why? Let's simplify, don't do that and avoid many issues. Same for gender/sex in any non-regulated situation. Same for trying to split "Full name" into any kind of culture-specific predefined fields. Or maybe don't ask for a name at all unless you're doing physical shipping. Etc.

I'm not sure what your point is. Whilst a lot of the opinions you shared here are legal in CN, they are considered frowned up (communism being harmful), edgy (free marketism), or backward(direct recall of the executive), thats why they are uncommon. The proof is that China's top legislature has many political parties besides the communist party (which keeps 2/3 of all seats by constitutional guarantee). Some political activities and ideologies are proscribed, but imo that's healthy. A bit like how Germany officially prohibits nazi parties.

If I were you, I'd simply get in touch with chinese or vietnamese peeps and ask their own opinion of their respective country. You will see that it's normal folks - just like you -, and that they aspire to similar things. You may get surprised that many will say that, yes, their country is democratic. These countries are more than the propaganda you hear on the TV, and they are a lot more accessible than you might think :)

Re: obtaining a legal copy of Genera, as of 2023 Symbolics still existed as a corporate entity and they continued to sell x86-64 laptops with "Portable Genera 2.0". I bought one from them then, and occasionally see them listing some on Ebay. (This isn't intended as an advertisement or endorsement, just a statement. I think it's quite unfortunate that Symbolics's software hasn't been made freely available, since it's now really only of historical interest.)

Every country has sociopaths and narcissists too, but this doesn't really further the conversation about authoritarianism vs democracy, unless of course the legislative has a plurality of such or in thrall to such.

your statements are true and obvious but lack any reasoning as to why it is the way it is; and hence are largely useless. just about anyone can tell you that the sky is blue, what is more important is why.

It seems we expect the government to step in and fix this. But it’s not a neutral party. Even before Trump collusion between moneyed interests and politicians was high. Those who hold the money hold the power. And those with the money have decided that even free speech has worn out its welcome. To the point of using its military to invade its own cities.

I just don’t see us righting ourselves through the electoral process. If we are ever going to fix our government it will need to happen through mass strikes. That’s the most credible alternative. In the meantime our state of affairs will likely continue to decay. Climate change, authoritarianism, debt and austerity. These are only going to get worse. Eventually we will be forced to get our collective act together.

I've tried coolify, dokploy, komodo. There's also more I haven't tried: kubero, and of course dokku with a web interface.

I guess its just enticing to have some kind of interface that shows your deploy. But with each of these I've found some blocker or annoyance and have gone back to kamal.

It would be nice to understand what makes this paid service better than the above. I'm not sure I see anything compelling in the promo video.

A big issue working with code agents is what I call context-recall: restoring context when working on a new feature or fix, that builds on recent work.

Meaning, the previous work may have involved multiple CLI sessions, summaries dumped to various markdown files like documentation files, plan files, issue files, PR-descriptions etc. Then when starting new work with a code agent you have to hunt down all of this scattered context from various md files and session logs to fill in background for the code-agent about what was recently done.

I see many workflows that help with working on a fresh feature or fix, but nothing that addresses context-recall. But maybe the OP workflow or others do that, I haven’t dug too deep into them.
by forgotoldacc | 2025-10-12 10:33:42+00:00
As stated many times elsewhere here, if that were the case, it'd be an opt in limit. Instead it's an opt out limit from a company that has a proven record of forcing users into an agreement against their will and requiring an opt out (that often doesn't work) after the fact.

Nobody really believes the fiction about processing being heavy and that's why they limit opt outs.

Hi everyone. I appreciate your comments however:

The goal isn’t to replace your Mac or Windows calculator or Operating system — it’s to provide a lightweight, modular foundation for browser-based workflows that are entirely user-defined.

The modularity is key:

Customization: If the aesthetic feels “AI slop,” it’s open source — users can restyle it, change the CSS, or swap out the default “vibe-coded” apps for polished ones.

Platform definition: It’s about creating your own minimal workspace, free from the bloat of traditional operating systems.

Industrial logic: Like manufacturers’ HMI templates, the framework provides a consistent, reusable structure — a solid skeleton that others can adapt to their own use cases, whether for dashboards, tools, or creative interfaces.

I built the stable core. The next step is for the community — users, developers, and designers — to build the polished experiences they want on top of it.

And yes I designed it entirely on my Infinix phone

All the things you demanded require a significant amount of financial support to both create and maintain, and that is where Odin falls short. If you really do need all those libraries first thing in the morning, then forget about the language; it's out of your hands. You will always be at the mercy of the industry, and you will be forced to pick and use whatever language the majority of the industry is using while the industry keeps tailoring the majorly adapted languages to do things the languages weren't designed for in the first place.

Also, all the libraries you demanded have almost nothing to do with the language itself. Odin, as a solo project, lacks both the financial backing and the cult-like obsessive adoption within its community-both of which are essential for breaking into the industry and reaching the mainstream status. It's the industry's adaptability and the community's enthusiasm that determine how many new libraries will emerge for a programming language. Unlike modern languages like Rust and Zig, which have their respective foundation organizations that employ and pay several full-time developers, languages like Odin and C3 that stripped-down complexity and subjectively annoying features got no serious fancy features to market to the target consumers, making it hard for them to gain any exponential momentum. So, give the current state of things, we can certainly say that Odin will not provide any of those libraries any time soon.

Besides, the Odin developers are perfectly fine using libraries written in other languages, whether Rust, C, or anything else. If a library in another language works and will get the job done, re-writing it in Odin is logically pointless for getting the job done. The only people who seem to have an issue with Odin's ecosystem are backend developers. Low-level systems programmers and graphics developers have their needs well met(there are no built-in green threads or fibers but there is support for SIMD and all major graphics API bindings). Networking requires stable, secure maintenance, so unless someone from the community steps up to create and maintain an HTTP/3 or QUIC implementation, there will never be native HTTP/3 support in Odin. The same applies to Aerospike, YAML, JPEG XL, Slint, and everything else. Gotta see how things will turn out.

The problem is that group (1) results in a nightmarish race-to-the-bottom. File creators have zero incentive to create spec-compliant files, because there's no penalty for creating corrupted files. In practice this means a large proportion of documents are going to end up corrupt. Does it open in Chrome? Great, ship it! The file format is no longer the specification, but it has now become a wild guess at whatever weird garbage the incumbent is still willing to accept. This makes it virtually impossible to write a new parser, because the file format suddenly has no specification.

On the other hand, imagine a world where Chrome would slowly start to phase out its quirks modes. Something like a yellow address bar and a "Chrome cannot guarantee the safety of your data on this website, as the website is malformed" warning message. Turn it into a red bar and a "click to continue" after 10 years, remove it altogether after 20 years. Suddenly it's no longer that one weird customer who is complaining, but everyone - including your manager. Your mistakes are painfully obvious during development, so you have a pretty good incentive to properly follow the spec. You make a mistake on a prominent page and the CTO sees it? Well, guess you'll be adding an XHTML validator to your CI pipeline next week!

It is very tempting to write a lenient parser when you are just one small fish in a big ecosystem, but over time it will inevitably lead to the degradation of that very ecosystem. You need some kind of standards body to publish a validating reference parser. And like it or not, Chrome is big enough that it can act as one for HTML.
