Oh the luxury. I live in London. No way I could afford a dedicated office room. I settle for the corner of my living room, with a good pair of noise cancelling headphones which indicate "I'm working". Seems to work, most of the time.

They are re-living their 2003-2004 period when the IBM PPC G5 CPU was way too hot and power hungry to put in the PowerBook and it needed water cooling in the PowerMac. Back then their solution was to switch to Intel CPUs. Now it's probably going to be to switch to in-house designed ARM CPUs.
To reiterate what the OP suggests at the bottom, the new (in-progress) borrow checker (the one designed from the ground-up to support non-lexical lifetimes (NLL)) suffers from none of the match bugs that have inspired the recent slew of patch releases.

It does indeed appear as though the new match features were designed with the theoretical model of the borrow checker in mind, to which the new borrow checker hews much more strongly than the original (in conversations with Niko Matsakis he suggests that the new borrow checker is implemented in the fashion that he had wanted to implement the original one, but the other machinery in the compiler (e.g. a CFG-aware IR like MIR) wasn't ready at the time, and wouldn't be for some years). Obviously the degree to which the original borrow checker would be deficient in the face of the new match features wasn't fully understood, or else I expect that its stabilization would have been delayed. Fortunately, NLL-aware borrowck is enabled by default in nightly right now (or should be imminently: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/possible-stabilizations-fo... ) and hopes to reach the stable channel within a few months. :)

Best second passport for an Australian: Germany.

... well, I guess that means I’m a lucky person when it comes to passports. When I reverse search, the best second passport for a German is “Application Error”, and I sure have plenty of those as well :)
Wear running shoes that save your feet. Utilize a wide toe-box that help prevent Morton's Neuroma and other foot injuries. Maybe you won't get there as quickly (debatable) but you'll still be able to walk when you're older ... long after the confetti has been cleaned up.
What will make even more sense is when he says to his teams: "Farewell, it was really nice working with you all, too bad the foreign competition slashed prices and bankrupted us"
... or the main developer is not a marketer.
It just tells me "Application error". What's the difference between that and https://www.passportindex.org/comparebyPassport.php?

This particular sarcophagus is from Ptolemaic-period Egypt, they had iron. But they managed to carve granite (and a bunch of other softer stones) before that, with copper and other tools.

Could you include years of residency to obtain the second passport in your calculation?

It's not being presented as acceptable code for maintenance or other long-term usage.

It's being presented as a terse explanation of what the bug was and how it was triggered.

I didn't spend an hour or two understanding that code, I spent less than a minute because I already know rust.

I don't understand your point. The code served its purpose well: for the audience (rust users) it demonstrated the bug (lifetime unsafety in match ergonomics change).

If the audience were "people who don't know rust", then of course that code wouldn't be a good demonstration, but that's not who the audience for this post is.
> What the people who want decentralized services don't realize is that the content creators want centralized services (whether they realize it or not).

Ideally you wouldn't decentralize the UI/UX, but the cloud server architecture it runs on. You could still maintain the same centrally accessible experience.

That's the thing people need to understand, the frontend (UI) can be seperated and decoupled from the backend. Where the servers that power those sites are plugins installed on peoples home routers or personal assistants. They scale in performance with each added user and installed plugin.
> I'm not sure that 'decentralized' in this case means decentralized in community.

The idea of ActivityPub is to have a federated group of servers. Similar to XMPP and Email.

So you can create an account as Alice@serverAlpha.com, while I can create an account as Bob@serverB.com. When I publish a video at serverB.com, it will notify serverAlpha.com that a new video was published, which eventually tells Alice to check out the new video.
I prefer not to confuse "a level of international influence" with global information domination.
You seem to be singularly focused on pentesting, whatever that means to you, and I'm mostly concerned with leakage of information. Being able to prove whether I can pwn Emacs or not is irrelevent. For my purpose, all I have to establish is if Emacs is treated as a TLS client on internet. This is trivial.

> You have never worked in security. The fact that you're shocked at this shows how green you are. I don't mean that in a dismissive or insulting way, but if you'd just go do a stint as a pentester for a year, or talk to some pentesters in the field, you'll quickly stop being shocked at this.

Does the fact that you are numbed to snafus like this justify the terrible state of network security of a continuously maintained 30+ year old editor? I expected more from the countless number of Emacs hackers came before me.

I urge to you go thru the mailing list thread, but if you don't want to, I understand as it's rather long, but please don't assume you know what I've done or haven't done or how much I understand these issues, or my intentions.

I really like this article.

At its core, it's a really a critique of decentralized systems, and how different actors making game-theoretically optimal decisions can make the overall state worse.

I think anyone interested in designing any kind of system should read this.
No,that is most definitely not what I want as a content creator. I do not want just any audience (that is the realm of people who require attention for validation or exploitation). By the time I have created something I have already gotten what I am going to get out of it, sharing it is just a courtesy and I would rather just share with people who care enough to make the effort to search for something relevant to their interests rather than a horde of mindlessly clicking eyeballs
Related studies I would like to see:

The idea is that you don't train in them, you save them for the race.

OK. I will, for the purpose of conversation, cede your point that there is some point beyond which even just, deserved, valid, polite, and correct complaints should be ignored because of the side-effects. How do you propose we determine when this point has been reached?

This is mostly incorrect. The Van Allen belt is not some protective shield from radiation, it is an area of concentrated radiation. There is radiation exposure once you exit the sphere of Earth's magnetic field, but I believe it is lower energy than the belt's themselves.
>She meant you should get approved for a business/personal line of credit now while credit is still being approved. Rates on those are low enough that they can be useful in a cash crunch.

Sure, but it's quite hard to get a decent line of credit without extensive history. Whereas literally anyone with a 600+ score can go get tens of thousands of dollars in available credit right now which massively boosts your score.

I definitely don't recommend relying on them as an emergency fund, but the added accounts and increased available credit will get you prime rates on any other lending if you're not at 750+ yet.
Never really liked RSS on the mac, used Google Reader, then switched to Feedly but wanted a little bit more, so i built https://aktu.io, a RSS reader + news aggregator, kind of a mix between Google Reader and Google News.

Maggie Haberman: Why I Needed to Pull Back from Twitter
The taxi companies were operating under a certain regulatory framework...it’s easy to “disrupt” the industry is you break the law while others are complying with the regulatory frame work.

Consider if a new “start up” pharmacy started selling drugs without prescriptions...then claiming the existing pharmacies aren’t innocent and have a vested interest in the status quo. It’s easy to “disrupt” when you ignore the law.

You also gloss over this idea...no taxi driver is breaking the law and gets arrest purely for doing what they were hired to do. Uber hired drivers and fed them rides in jurisdictions where the activity was illegal. It’s those drivers with criminal records who have paid the price not Uber, that’s Uber’s current vested interest shifting legal liability for their illegal business activities to their drivers.
but (hundreds of thousands[living in high density LA]) + (hundereds of thousands [living in high density SF]) + 8 million (living in NYC) =/= 10% * 350 million.

In fact, if we generously estimate that 10 million people live in high density metro areas that don't rely on cars we are looking at less than 3% of the US population. I think that is something to sneeze at.
That's what `pip install --editable` is for.

You left yourself open here by not elaborating on how centralized services benefit from profiting companies with marketing campaigns who draw users.

Decentralized platforms will force these content creators to market their own platform.

If they do a good enough job at that (which I doubt, compared to Google) then they may stand a chance to reach "viral momentum."
So at what point can we just start using jumping stilts [1] or something similar? I mean the shoes are $250 and the stilts from Amazon [2] are like $50 more when you include shipping.

> Google is still relying on Borg for its internal production infrastructure, but I can tell you it’s not because of the design of Borg interfaces!

No matter how spartan, the Borg status pages are more helpful than most Kubernetes UIs out there when it comes to debugging a problem in depth, i.e. past CPU and memory graphs. Part of that is made possible by applications exposing debugging endpoints and telling Borg about them.
It's not just about online harrassment, though. It's also about a fraudulent game developer. So when the OP was complaining about that fraud, they were completely on topic and justified.

I was responding to a person who was saying that because death threats are worse than fraud, you can't talk about the fraud. I was making the comparison to far greater injustices to turn the same argument on them.

I find it hard to believe that you truly misunderstood my rhetorical tool as a call to discuss those injustices here.

What will make the writer really mad is that the world began with humans, and nothing else, for a basic reason. Before us, there was no one to give the world, or anything else, a name. Some say the beginning of wisdom is understanding the meaning of words. I believe the most essential difference human beings have over all other creatures is the development of stories. And those stories can last for thousands of years.

Am I wrong, or does this list videos across instances? As long as there is one search interface for many instances, and only one account needed to follow whatever instance they are on, what more centralization do you need?

I remember when Google Video still existed, and I wanted to try it out. I don't really make video, but I had random boring clips made with my digicam, and I uploaded one where slowly dropped a sugar cube into a cup of steaming, red fruit tea (the cube it absorbed the tea and fell apart). Just because in those days, signing up for free things and trying them out was something I liked to do.

Then I forgot about the video, and after a while I got an email saying it got removed because it violated the terms. Maybe they thought it was blood, heh. At any rate, I don't even make videos and I already know 100% that I don't want centralized hosting, to be at the mercy of some faceless entity that might click the wrong button and then be difficult about it. It was funny in my case, but it could have been something important or something that required a lot of effort.

> Make a rage video about how your normal video got demonized, get a million views.

Yeah, which means people actually do care more than you think. Those videos would also get more views on decentralized hosting, compared to bland ones. It doesn't mean people actually secretly enjoy being mistreated because talking about that gives them views.
You might also want to "quality" weight them.

A lot of passports will underscore access to the US, EU, Canada etc.

There is also a different level of access. For instance, a Canadian passport will also get you a work holiday in Ireland or Australia. Will any of these do something similar?

When the crash happened, most funding round discussions were halted. There was a huge uncertainity about what will happen in economy in general for several months.

I believe every crash is like that: there is huge uncertainity and at that moment it feels once-in-a-lifetime, world changing event for most of the people. This makes it very hard for even rational public market investors to buy from the bottom
You're absolutely right! The structure exhibits significant opportunity for improvement. Here, let me propose an alternative structure that avoids the issue you so rightly and correctly highlight:

> Sean Murray received a lot of money and publicity based on very public and explicit lies regarding the tech of his game. Obviously death threats are unacceptable and the perpetrators deserve severe legal consequences.

Again, you're completely right. There should under no circumstances ever be any caveats in any way, shape, form, or manner that could be even remotely read to justify such horrific behavior.

It is also faintly possible that there might be other aspects of these events that may merit genuine discussion. Some people might go so far as to say that such aspects should be up for discussion independently of any horrific behavior that may have taken place.

Expressing this nuance does take some modicum of rhetorical skill, which not everyone has had the experience to properly acquire. With this in mind, it might be wise to consider if comments can be read charitably.
Sure it's battle tested, but it's quite possible that the advantage of having a software with more eyeballs on it is even more valuable.

Last I heard, the biggest reason that Google still uses Borg instead of Kubernetes is mostly because of switching costs.
The biggest thing holding back p2p/"truly decentralized" networks (in my opinion) are NAT/Firewalls. You cannot reliably get past them on the inside without manual configuration. There's no way you can convince millions of people to try to port forward, and UPnP is very hit or miss.

If that was solved, lightweight applications like 1:1 messaging could easily be fully peer to peer/decentralized/trustless.

I think you're confuning centralization with a walled garden. Because if what you said were true, then why would Disney be buying Hulu?

The larger of a content creator I am, the more I want to control distribution.

Having my content on a site with someone else's rules sucks, because I am at their mercy.

For example, with Disney owning Hulu, they can tell Google to go F-off, and never worry about their content being accidentally censored, deleted, etc.

For a smaller content producer, the value might even be more significant, even if the dollars are less.
Go to your public library and you will probably find some books by Nolo press on patent law, take them home and read them.

If you are small and never filed a patent before you can get services from the PTO for 1/4 the price.

For less than $40 you can file a provisional patent application that holds your priority for a year to write a full patent. I have put together PPAs in four hours or so by cutting and pasting technical and marketing material and writing some text to make it look (a little) like a patent application.

If you really understand what is in that book in the next year you can file a real patent application yourself, enough to keep the clock running. I have had co-workers write good applications (that got granted) in about two weeks of full-time work.

I like intellectual property lawyers, but I don't like paying their bill. Five shaky patents are probably more intimidating than one patent that looks strong so it makes more sense to file for more patents yourself at the bargain basement price than getting a lawyer who will do better than you on average but could well make a mistake too because anybody could make a mistake.

"... Building a dam isn't that hard ..."

???

Three Gorges is a mile and a half long almost. (maybe a tad longer.) Almost what? 6 or 7 hundreed feet tall. Ship locks and ship lifts too! For what? 10 thousand tons or so would be my guess? Not to mention entirely new ports to accommodate new heavy shipping inland. New walls and other flood control measures. And all of it designed to concert in such a manner that they never exceed the design specs of the dam.

Displacing citizens is the LEAST of the problems that project faced.

Building ANY dam is definitely not to be characterized as "not that hard". Building Three Gorges falls on the "near impossible even with backing of wealthy nation state" end of the scale.
Seems pretty reasonable to me. Look at it from the driver’s perspective: if you’re pulled over and the car reeks of weed or alcohol your day just got a lot worse. Doubly so if you’re a minority and you get pulled over by someone on a power trip. What is the driver supposed to do, strip the customer looking for illegal substances? This gives an easy way to decline the ride or disincentive the passenger without having to make a long explanation.
