> Email is federated, but everyone running and managing their own email servers is too costly, so for consumers, it migrated to large sites.

I think this is what federation looks like when it works. Yeah, everyone uses Gmail, but it's also ok to use another service. It still works and delivers a pretty similar experience. Your messages make it out of the Gmail garden.

> Web sites were federated, but everyone being web master for their homepage was too difficult, so we get GeoCities, and Yahoo Clubs, and later, Squarespace and Wix, etc. Then blogs were decentralized, but everyone self hosting and authoring blogs was too much, so then we get Wordpress.com and Tumblr, and Twitter, and FB, etc. (even USENET eventually developed super-large hubs like uunet)

Geocities was one of many roughly equivalent services. It was sort of a social network, but it was mostly just free hosting. Anyone could still link to anywhere and being on geocities wasn't a requirement for being on the web.

Squarespace is a pretty good product and not what I would consider harmul centralization, because it's still interoperable with other websites and they don't prevent people from hosting elsewhere. The web is still federated.

Something different has happened with social media. Different social media services aren't interoperable. I can't message you on Twitter from Facebook, or tweet at you on LinkedIn. You must stay in their walled garden to interact with their users. They're at such a critical mass that almost everyone is in their garden.

It seems like federation is a happy middle ground between decentralization and centralized walled gardens.

Maybe something like Mastodon will some day become so popular that Twitter is forced to become part of the federation and compete on features and marketing instead of vendor lock-in.

With a federated version of any type of social media clone, eventually new entrants will prefer to join the federation instead of trying to make a new walled garden. It wasn't really an option for Hotmail to only let you interact with other Hotmail users, because the federation was already established.

There was tremendous demand for social media services, but no federation to provide those services when the demand hit and explosive growth happened, so now we have a centralization problem.

It of course doesn't help that they call their fork/implementation of Redis "ElastiCache for Redis".
The popular vote was a myth, sold by a series of lies.

It was a choice between "do nothing" (remain), and "everything else" (leave). Some wanted a soft Brexit remaining in the common market aspects without freedom of movement (having our cake and eating it. The EU would have to be insane to accept this option), multiple harder forms of Brexit, and full WTO rules only Brexit wanted by only Rees Mogg and the other fools in the ERG. (They wanted this option for the benefit of their offshore hedge funds).

Not one single sentence sold the benefits of the EU - just the possible terror of its absence.

The calling of the referendum, the reasons it was called, and the campaign and political activity since has been the assault on a now much defeated democracy.

While this is certainly impressive, writing math formulas by hand commits them to memory way more effectively than typing latex commands/snippets. Although, an argument could be made that writing formulas in lecture is negligible compared to the amount of practice required outside of lecture for any mathematics course.
A decade or two ago it was the left which was vying for free and uncensored. Political fortunes have changed and now it's the right. Censorship is not free of political bias, and those on the wrong side of the current trend will flood platforms where the censorship does not exist. Those who are in favour of censorship must consider that political trends change over time, and one day they might be the ones being censored.
What model? 5,6,7? Or you think all?
Impressive! For anyone looking to do something similar, but in Sublime, I can recommend the LatexTools[0] plugin, which gives similar live previews of math mode.
I'd never considered embedding figures from Inkscape though.

I also decided that I wanted to keep lecture notes in LaTeX, and the best advice I have for anyone is to just practice. Start from LyX if it helps, but just make sure that you grind down the rough edges. It takes a long time, but like many skills that are worth learning, it takes lots of effort but the payoff is worth it.

Tesla's 'Ponzi Scheme'
> questionable tactic

Keep in mind that this is what all travel used to be like before tourism grew to where it is today. Done right, as in this story, it's a net positive for all involved.

I've done similar things a handful of times over the years, rocking up in remote places without any infrastructure to deal with tourists, hoping for a bit of luck in finding a place to sleep.

But here's the thing. It's not like you show up in these places like the stereotypical loud american demanding things and handing your wheelie duffel to the first local you see. It's more like the give and take you have when hitching a ride, essentially paying for your lift with fun conversation and wild stories, and by being an "interesting thing that happened" in this other person's life.

There's a little fishing village on the Pacific coast of Columbia with a river behind it containing fifty zillion perfect skipping rocks, accumulated over the millennia in front of a population who had never though to try skipping them. And now there's a batch of kids, teenagers now, who know how to do that thanks to that "English" couple who rocked up unannounced that one time, stayed at Linda's house, bought fish from the guys on the beach and sometimes spent their evenings sharing un-refrigerated beers with the locals in front of the depósito.

If you ever find yourself just about off the map someplace, I'd recommend making the effort to step over the edge once in a while to see what's there.
I'm not sure I agree with this take, but it might make for an interesting discussion.
> IIRC, the Milk Bar cookbook went a step further and specified recipes that only worked with artificial vanilla

It's a well known fact of cooking, natural vanilla denatures above a rather low temperature (around 50°C or so, if I recall correctly) but artificial vanilla doesn't.

So if you're using vanilla in... crème anglaise (apparently that's the English name for it?) you should use artificial vanilla or pay much attention to adding the vanilla only after it has cooled down enough, but if you're doing ice cream then natural vanilla is a good choice.

I’ve noticed two main things about the many robocalls/spamcalls I’ve received (my carrier actually has spam blocking, and I haven’t received very many since activating it)

1. Most calls I receive from numbers not in my contact list are spam. They also usually just call once, whereas if it’s a legit call that I was expecting, but neglected to pick up, they’ll call again within a few minutes.
2. I’ll get robocalls from one area code at a time. I remember getting calls from 772 one week, 727 the next, 643 a few days later, etc.

Obviously it won’t crush spam entirely, but I can imagine that fixing even just these two things would filter out a boatload if spam from reaching consumers.

Oh, and calls from “Scam Likely” should never reach my phone to begin with.

We can predict some things with a reasonable amount of certainty. For example, if companies have one high-risk high-cost option (relying on sophisticated solutions able to distinguish edge cases like fair use) and low-risk low-cost option (blocking everything that is suspicious), we can expect them to chose the later.
I cannot tell you if it is the solution they chose, but the fastest known implementation for single-precision FMA using double-precision multiplication and addition on conventional hardware is to use “round-to-odd” for the intermediate result. Any libc implementing “fmaf” for an architecture that doesn't have it has the same problem, and the solution looks like:

https://github.com/lattera/glibc/blob/b4d5b8b02133e0c317e6c8...

“round-to-odd” is not a standardized rounding mode, even though it is so useful that some argue it should be. It can be emulated by the following sequence:

/* Reset rounding mode and test for inexact simultaneously. */
int j = libc_feupdateenv_test (&env, FE_INEXACT) != 0;

if ((u.ieee.mantissa1 & 1) == 0 && u.ieee.exponent != 0x7ff)
u.ieee.mantissa1 |= j;

The sequence has the drawback of not pipelining well on modern processors, but it's still faster than any known alternative, and at least the code is short.

We laud Google for being our goto for everything, but it surprises me that search hasn't fragmented into specialised fields.

Many (many!) years ago a friend brought some bottles of Pepsi from a trip to Egypt. I still had a couple of the bottles left until last year, when I finally ditched them. The reason he brought them was to show how the Egyptian version of Pepsi had much more sugar added (I didn't actually think that was even possible..). Then again refined sugar was invented in that region of the world and was used hundreds of years before anywhere else.

As for myself, I just hate how shop-made cakes are mostly sugar - it feels like my mouth is burning. I don't understand why they do it. Nearly everyone I know prefer home-made cakes (made from basic ingrediants, not mix bags).
This has a number of bugs. Links don’t have to start with window.location.origin, they can just start with /. You didn’t pass in ...rest into the a tag, but oh did you know that the props of a are not the same type as the props to Link? They’re not - so even if you did that it wouldn’t have worked. Oh, and don’t forget to handle “javascript:” prefixed links - those are valid too. Oh and good luck getting this to type check with Typescript. You might be able to pull off something fancy with subtraction types, but who knows if it’ll continue to work when react router upgrades next year.

You might think I’m being overly pedantic. Perhaps I am - however in the course of my site I ran into each and every one of these issues after starting out with a clever one liner much like the one you provided. And every time I fixed one I wondered why react router couldn’t handle this for me.

As someone who has been coding and developing software for almost twenty years, started young, had an aptitude for math and reading comprehension, scored high on standardized tests, got an advanced education and all the while, basically lived in front of a computer learning the full stack from top to bottom, painstakingly solving problems as they arise, debugging server configs, hardware issues, more debugging, and on and on ... I still find software development very difficult and mentally taxing.

I am having a really really hard time buying any of this teach prisoners or coal miners to code mantra (my first word choice was 'nonsense'). And I am also having a hard time finding proof that even a single ex-coal miner is gainfully employed in a coding job today and I am seeing stories going back to 2012 about programs popping up to teach miners to code. I am sure there are a few, but it must be vanishingly few.

It just doesn't seem like a good fit at all. It's opposite ends of the spectrum. Why don't we teach out of work coders to play professional rugby too?

I guess teaching coal miners to become plumbers or electricians or heavy equipment operators (all of which they would already have many skills for if not already qualified) wouldn't grab headlines.

The editing component died out well before that. The original WWW browser was bi-directional: it was as easy to publish or edit sites as it was to view them (much like Wikis are today, but with a WYSIWYG editor). Even up through about 1998 Netscape shipped with Composer, which made it relatively easy to generate & publish HTML without knowing much about technology.

I think the problem was just development effort and the pace of development in the early web (and particularly during the browser wars). Shipping an editor with the browser meant that every new feature available to websites needed both an easy implementation (in the browser) and a difficult implementation (in the editor). The editor implementation would often require a lot of uncertain design work as people hashed out what the editor UI should even look like. It forbade the browser vendors from shelling this hard task out to external programs. If you wanted to embed a photograph on a webpage, Photoshop had already spent decades solving that problem; was the browser vendor supposed to duplicate all that work? If you wanted to embed a Java applet, Sun and Borland and IBM had invested thousands of man-years on development tools; would you ship an IDE in the browser? Some content types are just now getting decent editing software, 20 years later.

When you have 150M users browsing and maybe 1.5M users creating content, the economics are pretty clear. There's no sense putting 80% of your development effort into tools that 1% of the population uses.

Interestingly, even after user-generated content became a huge thing and easy WYSIWYG editors became just a JS embed away, the 1:10:100:1000 ratio still roughly holds: for every person creating content daily, 10 people create content *occasionally, 100 register for the site, and 1000 people might view it as lurkers. That indicates that the problem might not be in the tools, and that creating content is just more difficult than consuming it.
Well, it is explicitly stated in the linked statement that

You might disagree with that position, but if you expect Wikipedia as a platform to be neutral, you have not been paying attention.
Making content providers liable about the content they publish seems to me essential to have an healthy internet: I don't understand all the problem about censorship; Am I missing something?
Well if you squint and look closely I don’t think I said anything other than it’s better to make these platforms self policing as a way to stop illegal content from appearing. Personally, the only thing I would ban is child pornography, and probably insightment to terrorism from right wing and islamists as well.
