I hosted my own Mastodon instance for a short time after it got popular, but there was a pretty big drawback. Each Mastodon instance is basically a community, where you can see other people talking and can even see a feed of the public toots from anywhere that other people on the instance have subscribed to. But when you host your own, there's no community, which makes it really hard to find new people to follow. So I basically stopped interacting with Mastodon after a week, because my feed was bare and I didn't have any good way of finding people.

This is unfair. You're complaining that they didn't do something that you admit is impossible. They measured essentially everything they could.

> Super innocent example: A 14 year old kid breaks their leg and the cops show up to them in agony and crying.

This seems like the same argument. What does enforcement of the laws have to do with medical aid? Why has our society conflated these two things?

I assert that the state has an interest in injecting law enforcement concepts in all sorts of situation precisely because it opens up uncertainty over its public nature.

Instead, we need law enforcement to be its own discrete activity, and among its norms for it to be entirely public and based on public consent.

Why are we rehashing this almost 200 years after Robert Peel's work?

Some of those optimizations become irrelevant (or downright bad) with http2. Inlining CSS ans JS is no longer best practice when you can do a server push of those and avoid sending the extra bytes once the files have been cached by the browser.

Some optimizations can backfire. Adding async to the external JS is a great tip.. unless you have dependencies between your different scripts (i.e. you need one to be loaded before the other one gets executed)

The website looks really cool. Do you use some service for fetching RSS feeds of parse it all by yourself?
Nonsense indeed...

I made what I believed was a rational risk assessment at the time (back when MtGox was spinning up... Not exactly the most credible days for BTC) and decided to avoid the hype.

Could I use the money now? Sure. It's money.

But I don't regret the decision now because I was acting on the information I had.

Heck, even now, it's possible for someone to buy BTC and for it to crash. Should those people regret their decision even if, in their estimation, it's rational now?

To be blunt: if you spend any time regretting these types of things you're a gambler, not an investor, and will find yourself tricked into trying to time markets. And that will eventually bite you in the ass.

As for me, the same reasoning that kept me out of the market then keeps me out now: I don't believe in the fundamentals and I'm not a gambler. Full stop.

For those who do, the should buy and hold for the long term to realize the most gains.

But "it's worth a lot more now than it was 10 years ago" is not fundamentals. It's just the irrational assumption that past performance predicts future behaviour.
> 8. If God cared, he would at least let us know before destroying us for being infidels. Hence the Prophets - Jesus, Moses, Muhammad, etc.

Muslim too. But this point is one the biggest reason I lean atheist or agnostic.

If God cared, wouldn't he show something more concrete than send a message through ancient people. Why did he stop sending new prophets? Why not send a prophet for each generation? Why not send an individual messages to each human? Why not send same message to people around the globe, why did he not cared about Chinese or Native Americans?

Then, of course, why make it a sin to question these things? As Muslim kid growing up in Muslim country, I got punished by teachers and other kids when I asked these questions. Why does God give us brain then asks us to not use it?

Make an app that gives push notifications to users about their energy consumption on a real-time/daily/weekly/monthly basis. All this is tied into regional gasoline/electricity prices, that way you can output $ figures for everything. Release it for free. Think Google Analytics for personal energy($) consumption.

Tie in data from home via sense.com sensor, car travel data via google location services and a user selected vehicle.

Then give tips to user on better habits. Such as putting home in "eco" mode when you leave via Nest, or converting house to LED, etc.

Like if you change your Ford F-250 to a Civic, you will save $2000 a year based on your driving habits and distance.etc.

Or after driving your car. It says you spent about $10 in gas and 30 mins by driving just now.

The thing that inspired me was was the real time MPG gauge on my Honda Civic. It single handedly had the greatest MPG increase for my car. Since I felt the "pain" ($$) of smashing the throttle every time.

When people use their electricity at home, they don't feel " real time pain" when they turn on their 5kw AC unit or 3kw water heater. It's a crazy amount of power. They only feel once a month, when they get their energy bill for $200+ a month.

In conclusion, game-ify the hell out of dropping an end user's individual energy consumption number. By reducing energy demand at the source, then it's much easier to swallow eco friendly options.

For example, with poor energy consumption habits you may need a 10kw solar array @ a cost of 20k). But if you drop the user's average energy consumption. You can have the same quality of life at 5kw solar installtion @ $10k. Spending $10k is easier to swallow than $20k. (I made up all the $ numbers, I'm not sure where pricing is at now)

Well these are my random thoughts, I hope they inspire you.

VMware has been disabling their inter-VM memory deduplication (TPS) since 6.0 to avoid exactly these kinds of attacks. You can of course re-enable it, if you want, and I've seen situations where its value far outpaced the potential risk.

It also looks like ECC greatly reduces the potential for this to be exploited.
My proven experience only counts if you trust the people I proved it to. If my references are your drinking buddies, sure, you can probably skip the interview, but when it's a stranger I could have coached an actor for all you know.

Ask HN: How do I find people to follow on Mastodon?
Last line in this article mentions a Part 2, which will cover getting into Protected Mode. Which implies that x86 boxen are still to this day are POSTing in 16-bit real mode

What I'm wondering, is whether this is because of the design of the firmware, hardware or both. Back when protected mode was the new hotness, it made sense for the CPU to power on in real mode, for backwards compatibilty. But back-compat w/ DOS is less of a concern today than it was 20 years ago. Is it still required for back-compat with older versions of Windows, since UEFI wasn't commonplace in the WinXP or Win7 days? Does UEFI have to lift the CPU from real-mode to protected mode, or does it leave that to the OS?

Another thing I wonder about, is if it's possible to have the CPU come online directly in protected mode or long mode after POWER_OK has settled and the motherboard releases the reset line. I recall reading various datasheets for tiny specialized controller chips (fan controller, et. al.), wherein by leaving various pins floating, or asserting them high or low with pull-up/down resistors, one set the power-on value of the register(s) which controlled start-up behavior. It'd be cool if you could do that with a modern mobo/CPU. But even if it were, I suspect it would be a mod reserved for those brave enough to take a soldering iron their motherboard. I doubt such is a common enough need that mobo manufacturers are exposing that through jumpers or firmware config.
you are correct but I read this too late to fix it.

I think that just speaks to the way Mastodon encourages people to form smaller communities. The idea is that you'd trust your admins.

A more apt comparison than Gmail/Hotmail would be if one of the e-mail providers was whitesupremacy.net. Or, we-allow-white-supremacy.net. The admin of my we-dont-like-white-supremacy.net e-mail provider might choose to block it, based on the content it sends out. Anyone on that provider is welcome to choose another one if they wish to e-mail me. But if it is important enough to them to stay where they are, then they will remain blocked.

Long story short, if you don't trust the admin, don't sign up for the Mastodon instance. I agree that there needs to be some work on porting accounts from one instance to another seamlessly, though.

$1600 for "adequate"? That's some expensive paranoia. For a computer that approaches $2k after taxes, I would want something better than adequate. Especially since at that price point, it'd be my daily driver computer.

The article title is "Everyone’s Mad at Google and Sundar Pichai Has to Fix It"

The very short TL:DR is that Pichai is beset on all sides by people who expect Google to move mountains, reinvent itself. It goes on to discuss Pichai is a leader/person and ends on the quote "As Pichai has learned, Big Tech companies can no longer skate by on faith in their fundamental benevolence"

The original creator of mastodon has stated his preference for leaving this out of the core of mastodon: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/3888

...But by the virtue of mastodon being only one open source platform that works on the overall federated universe and employs the OStatus protocol, there isn't anything stopping such a service as you described from being built...well, except for twitter eventually deciding to block access to their platform...but i'd guess that would turn the federated universe into a sort of social network martyr.

Anyway, sorry i digress...To answer your question a bit more concretely, there are options for what you asked about:

* https://github.com/halcy/MastodonToTwitter

* https://medium.com/@pimterry/sync-your-mastodon-back-to-twit...

I'm sure there are more options; try googling. Cheers!
This perfectly describes my learning dilemma. If you have a niche job like in the article (visual studio extensions) your skill-set may be narrow enough to easily expand upon and gain depth in a new area. If you are a full stack developer at a small company the breadth of stuff you need to know and learn is such that it seems impossible to master new things.
Judging by the number of commenters here complaining or providing the cleared text this format has definitely got old.
Google should learn from old Microsoft's mistakes and voluntarily become more partner-centric before they are forced down that road by the Government.
Twitter is a multi-billion-dollar company that employs world-class data scientists and engineers. Do you really think they can't automate detecting death threats from throwaway accounts?
You can still bowhunt, or at least you ought to be able to...

It makes me very sad to go south and see the huge numbers of roadkills on the side of the highway. Where I'm from, we try real hard to inflate the deer population, since the winters and the coydogs keep the population down so much that the hunting isn't real easy.
But we're talking about incidents that are public. When Eric Garner was choked to death by police, I don't recall hearing a lot of cops call for those detectives to be fired. Hell, when the Mayor of NYC said something about it, at the next event, cops turned their backs on him.

These are not "decent people".

Hit F12 on chrome and enter the following:

JSON.parse('[9223372036854775805]')[0] === JSON.parse('[9223372036854775806]')[0]

You should get:

Is chrome's implementation broken? Those are both numbers that a signed int64 can store precisely but a double float cannot.

This problem is widespread in the urban areas of my rural, pro-firearms home state. They solved it by hiring sharpshooters to kill the deer with rifles at night within city limits. It worked really well and they gave a ton of meat to the food bank.
But people use it. You seem to think that being a web technologist gives you eminent domain over the web.
Yup, totally agree. There always seems to be some yahoos who think that strapping a 454 Casull to their hip is going to keep them safe from bears/wildlife.

Watching your surroundings, knowing common behaviors and keeping a cool head will help mitigate your chances. Acting like you can take on a bear head-to-head single handed won't.

So far as I know, France has no equivalent of Global Entry. It's also not universal advice, even if you were flying into the US- it's only available to citizens of certain countries. (France is not one of them, though Germany's EasyPass is.)

It would be faster to get through the CDG customs lines if you had a Schengen citizenship, since they could get into the the Schengen lines, but that's not really particularly useful advice.

Respectfully there is also another group:

3. Folks who have been in the industry for a while, are very comfortable with the tools they've used previously, are not always open to embracing new tech, and have compensation expectations a little higher than the market value of what they're offering.

I'm not denying ageism exists, but I think it's disingenuous to suggest people in our industry are immune to becoming complacent over time. I think the primary problem might just be that our industry is more punishing for people who do.

I also think people are pointing at the young-skewing culture in tech and looking at it as the cause of the problem, when it's possible it's a symptom.

I don't know how any of that can be measured, but I think it's something we have to keep in mind in this discussion about apparent ageism.
I'll give it a shot, thanks!
What kind of companies do you all work for that willingness to "battle" and "risk" is so important? Software development is normally one of the safest jobs there is. It is even stereotyped to have above average amount of people on spectrum and that condition makes one sux at both political fighting and risk handling.

If you need everybody to battle that often, then there is something wrong. And if ability to handle risk is so important for developers, then maybe management should start to manage that risk.
Once you start getting into this type of thinking it's really easy to go down a rabbit hole.

I'd love to see the same research, but if you start digging into this subject you will be disappointed in the answers you get.

After researching this stuff as a hobby for some time, I've come to the conclusion that this stuff is not well understood and there is still a lot left to explore.

As technical people, we sometimes look for something along the lines of hey - this is the chemical composition of something, balance some equations and figure out the affect it has on our body chemistry. This is just an exmaple, of course it's simplified and not quite accurate.

Unfortunately it's not that simple and doing this kind of research requires a ton of data and test subjects that just aren't practical in day to day research.
No thanks. Now anyone with a minor budget can run every single police video through image recognition and get a whole lot of private info on folks you likely don't want getting out.

Happen to be at a party that was broken up due to noise complaints? Drugs were found there? Why were you caught on camera leaving the house when officers arrived? Sounds like you are a liability!

If this actually happened I would give it 6mo before you get a credit agency or something of their ilk providing this data to such agencies for background checks/employment checks/etc. It will take the social media data mining and now include all law enforcement interactions ever.

I, for one, do not want to live in the world where I get to explain every traffic stop to a future employer or my insurance company. I'm sure both would absolutely love that information to use against me.

I think the writing is on the wall on this one though. In my lifetime I fully expect what I describe above to be happening behind the scenes in "public private partnerships". In some cases it already is.

Just yet another way to create permanent second-class citizens like we have with felons, and are trying as hard as we can to extend that into other areas of society.
Yeah, I was surprised by the picking locks part. That tends to be either loud or slow, and either way nearly as incriminating if caught as it is possible to be.
Is it Epic Systems? It sounds like Epic Systems.

I did a stint there, and going back isn't even a last resort. I'd rather move to Elbonia and sell stolen credit card numbers.

My understanding was that one of POWER's biggest selling points is the huge number of memory channels each socket can support and the way that the CPU connects to the accelerators, which other platforms don't enable, using interfaces like OpenCAPI and BlueLink. Nvidia has been working with IBM closely on this, I gather.

I think for police cameras, and the idea of being watched as a catalyst for better behavior, the focus of behavior modification is misplaced. IMO police in America have become separated from the rest of society, through hubris, militarization, or some perceived "us versus them" thinking. They appear to see their behavior, regardless of what that behavior is, as protecting the public, and stopping others from breaking the law. The police as an institution have placed themselves in a sphere of superiority, not beholden to others. We must work to bring the idea of police officer closer to that of citizen, stop the militarization, stop the us versus them thinking, and teach officers that they are to peaceful officers that serve and protect, not an authoritarian paramilitary force, immune from society's laws and norms.
It's kind of curious that they posted this on Medium instead of some Mastodon site.

I was recently the victim of an armed kidnapping, escaping only by jumping out of my own car from the driver seat while in gear with the gunman in the passenger seat.

By the time the police arrived, my attacker escaped in my car and the first words out of the sergeants mouth was “cut the crap, quit jerking us around, what really happened?”

Sure enough I was in a jurisdiction that only two months prior was equipped with vest cameras (due to community outrage over an execution style killing of a 21 year old black male pulled over with a phone the police thought was a gun). As an officer of the court myself I was beyond dismayed and obtained 2 different copies of police video from the scene...wouldn’t you know both officers vest videos were redacted and specifically edited out the audio of the sergeant’s first words to me and the sergeant’s video didn’t exist. The dvds even say redacted right on them, and I knew before I even watched, which is funny because I had to pay ~$100 for the video, basically paying for the time it took for the department to watch and redact the 1 part I really wanted.

How would such a system have any effect of police officer behavior?
Police are people who are trained to deal with stress, qualified to take witness statements (which insurance often requires), have a level of medical knowledge, can get places fast and can get more help (and possibly better qualified help) quick. Why wouldn’t you want them there?
