Ecosystem - tools and services with network effects, like Google Cloud Messaging.

Lots of phone carriers whitelist that server of theirs to allow it to wake up phone unprompted from idle while typically only allowing phone-initiated connection to stay active, and they also tend to block most incoming connections once the phone has been inactive for a while.

While it isn't technically hard to make something distributed, to also make it work well can be troublesome...

Yet another reason I want home servers to become common, as your phone could automatically request that your carrier whitelist your chosen trusted nodes such as your home server.

About two hours ago I pondered installing the Diffuse merge tool[0] on a Windows box. Then I noticed that it was hosted on Sourceforge and thought "nah, not really worth the risk". Now that I see this post I feel even more content that I avoided Sourceforge.

If I understand you correctly, my comment was a performance in which I simultaneously attempted to display my intellectual superiority over the author while at the same time publicly insulting her.

Lets be clear. What you're describing, and mis-attributing to me, is an attempt at dominance.

I'd say you need to understand two things. First, you simply don't know me well enough to make such an accusation. In fact you don't know me at all. So, despite your pseudo-clever phrasing ("social display", "performative dismissal"), all you're actually doing is making a series of assumptions about my intentions before going on to do exactly what you accuse me of. And secondly, there isn't remotely enough content to my original comment to justify your assumptions.

I take it this crack isn't the same as my ankle's sometimes clicking with every step I take then. I can continuously produce that noise whilst simply walking on some occasions, although I have no idea what causes it.
Eh? Rust tooling is excellent?

Rust can reuse nearly all C tools like kcov, gdb, perf, valgrind. On top of it, it has a solid set of its own tools. For example it has rustfmt, cargo, rustdoc (having the ability to test your Rust documentation is great).

Only thing it truly misses is a IntelliJ IDE for Rust and possibly a Rust oriented coverage system.
> The interaction between control effects (of which exceptions are a particular case) and substructural types (of which C++'s RAII is a very broken particular case) is certainly nontrivial

A nitpick, but what constitutes an effect is rather arbitrary. An effect in the PFP sense is not an operational definition (other than IO) but a linguistic one. This is why I think that handling errors well, handling mutation well and handling IO well are three completely different problems that are only accidentally bundled into one by PFP for no cognitive/empirical reason other than that the lambda calculus happens to be equally challenged by all three.

There is a fourth effect, which is just as operational as IO (and thus a "truer" effect than errors or mutation) and is often the most interesting, yet it happens to be the one that baffles PFP/LC most: the passage of time. This is why there are usually two ways to sleep in PFP languages, one considered an effect, and the other is not (but happens to be much more operationally disruptive, and thus a stronger "effect").

> Pees routinely corrupts root partitions and stop booting because system images are not tuned for SD card usage

My two Pis (currently both just running as Kodi boxes, but I've played with other things on them too) had a habit of killing SD cards, both cheaper ones which might well just be the cheapness of the cards and the better ones recommended by various people. I've taken to running them off NFS: the only thing that stays on the SD card is a boot partition and boot sector. For sequential reads this is definitely slower but they don't happen much (aside from the video playing, but that is limited by desired playback speed not IO bandwidth an happens over the network to my media array anyway), for sequential write it should be too unless using a crap card, but when-ever I've noticed a difference in responsiveness the NFS option has been faster. I find it takes longer for them to boot, but once running everything is either the same or feels just a little nippier.

This is not an option for disconnected (or unreliably connected) units of course, and might be a chunk more faf to manage via wireless, but I recommend it for units that always have a wired connection to the local LAN where said LAN has an always-on machine capable of serving via NFS.
> Startups (and business in general) is about unfair advantages - knowing information that other people don't, and acting on that knowledge.

I think the word that succinctly communicates what you really mean in this thread is 'insight'.

Nothing yet, because I signed with Flock Video (that was really stupid of me).

However, the other video I have on my channel have made about 1.5 DKK ($0.21) from the curious few (about 5.000 views) who saw that video as well.

uBlock Origin indeed blocks the sourceforge URLs. Not a bad idea, I would say. Makes you think twice.
I was talking only about control effects, not I/O or mutation. Control effects are basically stylized uses of continuations, with less insanity involved.
None of them appropriately support mailing lists, though. Email-based communication is a big deal for devs which contribute on maybe 5+ projects at once and have to manage comms in one central place.

As for Discourse's mockery of a mailing list mode, let's not even talk about it.
There's no complexity involved in implementing the sort.Sort interface in Go. Some typing, but certainly no complexity.
The value to the seller is not a function of how much resources were required to produce it, but how much resources the seller can convince the buyer were used to produce it. This is why buying up known, trusted consumer brands like Pyrex and replacing their products with a cheaper, inferior imitation is so profitable.
Those can also be tendons snapping over tissues.
There's the argument that if someone has access to the passwords then they've already got enough control over the computer to do whatever other damage they like - like reading them out of memory after they're decrypted.

Base64 at least provides some protection against somebody looking at it with their eyes and memorizing them, which is perhaps a more likely scenario - family members, kids, etc.
you can have x "message" sent per round, where a message is a packet (a line can be split over multiple packets) and x must remain constant and in the implementation is 1.

now the problem is, the adversary modelled here is one that can drop a node out of the network and see if any other node message frequency drops.

that's why traffic, noise and latency are strictly correlated. if a conversation suddenly drop you have to make sure that the noise level doesn't drop, and vice versa.

when you start a conversation you need to tune down the noise, to maintain the frequency. thus the more noise you generate the more packet you can send when you need it, but the more the load on the servers.

it's not about hiding the message in the noise (that's tor model) it's about making messages statistically indistinguishable. for that there is no confidence interval, you need to send random noise out, randomly, at a fixed randomized frequency.

now I think they don't actually send a message every round, but do generate noise and messages interlocked so that the frequency remains constant. that frequency must be slower than rounds frequency and you cannot really tune it in the way you're suggesting. There might be probably other way to relax the confidence, but it might have impacts on other clients on the network, even those unrelated to your conversation.

also, under this round model, if a client drop after handshaking and before collecting the message the message for that handshake is lost (no retransmission and no chance to pick it up later)

I wonder how a functional version of this would go..

You need transportation, so you define an engine and a set of wheels and a chair, and a whole universe. You define a way to have the engine, wheels and a chair work together. You try to sit in the chair, but it's too small. You can't change the chair because it's all immutable, so you create a new chair along with a new universe and build a new car with the new chair.

You need to get to work, but you don't want to pollute your universe with state, so you don't know where work is. So you put all of your state in your relational stateful database and forget that this part exists in your universe. Of course theoretically you could model your knowledge as a function based off the state of the universe, but you don't have budget to do that. You write comments about quick hacks to get around purity constraints. The hacks are never removed and you end up passing stateful maps of database tables around. You make a big todo note about how you should implement a new method for handling this that you've read in a new academic paper, but never get the 500 hours you need to implement it.

EDIT: For those not getting it, the article is describing the difference between the theory behind OO interaction between self contained actors and how this really plays out in actual code. Instead of doing the theoretical part of communication between actors, we have code which does getCoworker().getWallet(). In the same way above, I've tried to show the difference between theoretical functional programming where we can create pure functions and how this actually plays out in real functional code.

The application needs the original password so that it can pass it on to the FTP server.
I understand. I just said that classifying non-linear transfer of control (whether exceptions or proper continuation) as an effect at all is quite arbitrary, and is just a common usage in the PFP world.

Of course, substructural types are also a language concept (that does indeed interact badly with non-local jumps), which is why I said it was a nitpick about the use of the word "effect".

FTP is inherently insecure, everything is transmitted in plaintext. Because the server cannot check a password against a hash (due to the limitations of FTP), the client needs to store the password, and can't keep only a hash.

That being said, Base64 is woefully inadequate, just google 'base64 decode'; and this response (from someone who appears to be a contributor) is just not a defence.

The thing that bugs me about his theory is that it just assumes the existence of time. That patterns within the network are replaced according to certain rules. And it seems that this replacement rule corresponds to time at the high level.

His low level model seems to require propagation / evolution without being able to model it. Whatever enacts the replacement rule is an external force that acts upon his network, and so falls outside his definition of the universe.

I guess it's a limitation of the cellular automata model. You have to assume that something outside of the system "steps" the simulation forward.

"David Camerons wife consultant for Goldman Sachs"

She worked at Smythson, a British luxury goods manufacturer that got bought out by a consortium lead by the Goldman Sachs executive in 2005. "Two days after her husband became Prime Minister, she announced she was stepping down from her full-time role to take on a consultancy role within Smythson for two days a week. She said that choice was hers alone and had been made after she discovered she was pregnant again and after what she described as an 'understandably difficult year', attributed to the death of her first child, Ivan."

But you know, carry on misrepresenting her as some evil consultant for Goldman Sachs.
So basically, the architects have actively designed a courtyard between the buildings where the sun is guaranteed to be in my eyes 100% of the time if I turn my head the wrong way.

I don't know why that seems so annoying to me. Fundamentally, it's just line-of-site to the sun, the same as just being "in sunlight". But for some weird reason, the subjective experience of having the sun glint off a glass surface and hit me in the face is really unpleasant.

The idea and implementation are really cool, though.
It doesn't, it looks great! You try labelling 200 points right next to each other.

As an exercise, set it to 200 points, wait for it to generate (will take a while), pick a point and find its label visually. It's surprisingly easy. I was able to do it.

Of course, the difference is, this isn't a physical ribbon cable you're breaking out - online, you should just be able to hover over the point and have the label pop right up! :-D

> "No way to enter a url on fullscreen tab"

My Goodness, I learnt a new trick from you!!

Also the project is a Google project and isn't it the Dev responsibility to read, consider the features and bugs, yes users will always want more, but honestly they should sit back and think about this feature, I say that they all use Mac OS and in Mac OS you can enter URL on full screen tab :D

Anyways I shifted to firefox, also the dev who said "this is as per design", it is a huge irony that they work in the same org who made such a beautiful material design, I only wonder how Android would have looked had they taken such a careless approach regarding its "design"

apparently everything third party says is as per design and won't change, even if it is significant improvement and this feature makes sense and 500+ people have raised the same request, of course you don't listen to everyone but 500 people took time to upvote it so it is worth a look from the dev side also if all FOSS projects are going to be run like this then God help us.
