> The 'Internet' is working as intended. The issue is how HTTP is used and its availability in most consumer devices.

I partly put the blame on late 90s web developers for this. Instead of developing web /browsers/, the industry should've built web /communicators/ (one would think Netscape could've figured this out).

That is, we should've been using tools that make publishing content on the web as easy as consuming content[1].

If that mindset had been cultivated then and we had user friendly tools to support it, public mentality about sharing content would be different, and after years of improvement we might have a more balanced internet today where each user has full control over their data.

Unfortunately, we built web browsers for consumption only, the advertising industry took hold of our business models, which naturally created silos that grew richer and more powerful.

We can build and have built better tools, but the inertia of how things work today makes it difficult for alternative platforms to take off.

It still makes no sense to me that we use powerful computers to run web clients that send data somewhere on the internet where it is served for me, when the computer I'm using can serve this data just fine (assuming some infrastructure is in place to handle this).

[1]: This is something Opera attempted much later in 2009 with Unite (https://dev.opera.com/blog/taking-the-web-into-our-own-hands...), but abandoned it shortly later. I imagine they were missing a lot of network infrastructure and it being too confusing for end-users to make this a success. Are there previous attempts of this in a consumer browser?
Except we still have several different types of cables, now it's just not obvious what there different capabilities are
I am using Jsonnet daily. And I thought Jsonnet was weird - it took me a while to figure it our, and many of the developers on the team struggle with it. But most developers will have no clue with Cue - I guarantee you!

It is not intuitive and a lot of things need to be memorized, looked up, etc.

No wonder both Jsonnet and Cue arrive from Google!

> I have my own apartment without mortgage but I am still considering buying some van, parking it in front of my residential building and using it as extremely cheap and easily accessible storage space.

If you're going to go that route, look into a used moving truck; much more space, easier to modify for storage (or if you want to go "tiny home" in the future), and likely much more secure (being a closed box in the back). They don't tend to be very expensive (although they also don't tend to have great mileage per gallon or litre of fuel - but neither do most vans of any good size).

> heck according laws car doesn't even need to have license plate, it just need to look like it's drive worthy, so not even yearly insurance fee

If you're in the United States, you might want to verify this. Usually, you need registration, plates and tags on a vehicle that isn't parked or used on private land. Your landlord may or may not be ok with having such a vehicle on their property. Insurance would be optional, but you might want to speak to your agent to find out whether your renter's policy would cover any losses from the van, or if you can get a separate rider for that - or if you need completely separate insurance coverage.

1) There is already balkanization based on countries. Does California change that situation so much? Enough that it shouldn't perform it's role in the U.S. as a laboratory for legislation (a role of all states)?

2) Commerce and communication restrictions should not be considered without also considering the purpose and benefit the legislation intends to cause. First and foremost is whether it actually helps more than it harms. For example, it could have been (and I'm sure was) argued that abolishing slavery was problematic from the standpoint of groups of people and businesses interacting with those states and what it meant to use slaves in them or take slaves to them. The point is not to equate this issue with the abolitionist movement, but to point out that how the law affects interactions between states may have very little (or very great) bearing on whether it should be ratified, and it depends entirely on the legislation in question. Great leaps in both positive and negative directions both cause friction between (nation)states, so friction itself is a poor indicator of whether legislation is good or bad.
Yep your concern about consistency is definitely correct, but the good thing is that the invalidation connection can be pinged continuously by the client, as often the client wants (for instance 10 times every second). As soon as the connection is timing out, the client may decide to no longer serve the cached data. Of course every time the invalidation connection is closed at all, the client should flush the cached data completely or apply a very short TTL to the set of cached data.

About your second point: today I implemented even the feature (in the unstable branch) to support RESP2, that is, the current Redis protocol. But even using RESP3 the complexity is very low. On the data connection side you have just to use the CLIENT command to activate it. In the data connection, what you could receive, if you associate a callback in your client, is push data that notifies you the invalidation connection is no longer active. Push data is normally discarded by the client implementation of RESP3 if no handler is associated. On the invalidation connection, in RESP3 mode, you get again push data with a callback, or if you are in RESP2 mode, you just subscribe to the special channel __redis__:invalidate, and you get the messages about the caching slots that need to be invalidated.

Rotonde [0][1] is/was a pretty fascinating social network built over Dat/Beaker which basically involved each user helping to seed each user-feed they followed, resulting in a pretty stable/persistent ecosystem. I think it has mostly fallen by the wayside, but of course you should still be able to access a lot of instances due to hashbase.io seeding. To kickstart the platform we started a really basic "user list"[2] where you could find your friends' Rotonde URL based on their twitter username, since dat URLs are not exactly memorable.

The analogy helped me understand, but in factorio belts are required primarily because everything takes physical space. What are real world use cases for kafka? Is it primarily if your data is too much to simply store in a db?
Can there be any doubt this is what precipitated Ive’s departure? This keyboard is a disaster. They ended up replacing the entire inside of my laptop when my space bar broke. Then I had the logic board replaced again a few months ago after it was bricked by an update. Worst computer I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned the likes of e-machines, gateway and cheap netbooks back in the day. Each repair exceeded the cost of AppleCare. I’m basically on my third laptop with the original case and I don’t think my situation is as bad as some of the other people complaining on HN. They’ve probably lost significant money on these MBPs in addition to the market share they’ve ceded to Dell and Lenovo.

I just heard Paul Stamets say that soil is around 30% fungal mass, dead and alive, and that makes fungus the greatest repository of carbon in the biosphere. So to sequester a maximum amount of carbon maybe we should be optimizing for fungus rather than trees. Is a forest the best way to do that? Trees do have a lot of surface area for fungal growth. If so maybe we should be selecting kinds of trees to plant based on their fungal friendliness.
I owned an Apple Watch for about 2 months before the screen separated from the watch body. The front-line service rep didn’t know what to do about it and took it into the back to show a store manager, who decided it was impact damage and thus not covered by warranty; a fix would have cost something like 70% of the list price for the watch.

Instead of the repair, I bought a $20 Timex that’s served me faithfully ever since.

I very much agree in the sense of start simple, and grow. My progression was plain html, html plus php for header and footer, text file based CMS, finally a db-backed CMS that does everything I want how I want it. But that was also starting with knowing next to nothing, and to do it differently (more "efficiently") from the get go, I would have needed to just accept advice to use X, without really understanding what it does for me. I was a bit stubborn and not just suffering from NIH syndrome, I was in the cult of NIH. But I learned, it was fun, and I am glad how it worked out.

That's an important point - where those trees go when they die is part of the puzzle. Systems thinking is important. When a tree decays, I wonder how much carbon goes into the soil vs. into the air. What about when a forest fire goes through? More frequent controlled burns help prevent catastrophic forest fires, but do they cause a smaller or larger overall co2 release? On the one hand, a firestorm causes entire trees to explode that would otherwise survive with little damage. On the other hand, frequent burns might burn material that would otherwise decay into soil...

Serious question: how much force do you type with?

The reason I ask is that I see many, many people stab laptop keyboards with a ridiculous amount of force. It actually bothers me like someone is banging on my skull, particularly for the bad keyboards you have (which includes the latest MBP).

I learned to touch type in high school. At first, believe it or not, it was with manual typewriters. These actually require a lot of force, so much so that once you go to a computer keyboard (or even an electronic typewriter) there's really no going back.

Low-profile keyboards (including laptops) need the lightest amount of touch to register a tap. Low profile also needs very little travel.

At my best I could probably type at 70+ wpm. I haven't measured in awhile but it's probably worse (with sufficient accuracy). Coding uses a lot of symbols that a QWERTY keyboard just isn't optimized for (and typing speed doesn't tend to be the limiting factor anyway).

In years and years of coding and typing on computer keyboards I've had almost zero problems with RSI or carpal tunnel or any of that. When I was typing much more (vs coding) with standard keyboards, I actually did get a little sensitivity/soreness along my ulna and the outer edge of my hand (going up to my pinky finger). It had the feeling of being inflamed (in that something cold on it relieved it). But after decades of typing that's it. And I haven't had that in years. That's pretty good.

Anyway, bringing this back around... I wonder how many keyboard reliability and RSI issues can be attributed to essentially "bad" typing habits like too much force.
Of course DNS is used often; it's the most convenient. But the point isn't "sometimes DNS is used"; I never claimed "DNS is never used".

The point is "DNS is not the only way and malware authors have known and used this fact". The counter-convenience you seem to be looking for — to quote your prior statement, with added emphasis: "If malware has to talk to internal DNS servers ..." — was never there in the first place. No matter how hard you try, there is no way you can force all malware ever to always talk to your internal DNS servers.

Do note that you're doing that analysis in a setting where kids get a whole lot of colds.
There's some information about this in the protocol description:

"Discovery keys are used for finding other peers who are interested in the same Dat as you.

If you know a Dat’s public key then you can calculate the discovery key easily, however if you only know a discovery key you cannot work backwards to find the corresponding public key. This prevents eavesdroppers learning of Dat URLs (and therefore being able to read their contents) by observing network traffic.

However eavesdroppers can confirm that peers are talking about a specific Dat and read all communications between those peers if they know its public key already. Eavesdroppers who do not know the public key can still get an idea of how many Dats are popular on the network, their approximate sizes, which IP addresses are interested in them and potentially the IP address of the creator by observing handshakes, traffic timing and volumes. Dat makes no attempt to hide IP addresses."

That makes me think prairie may compete well with forests in effectiveness. Many prairie plants have 10' roots or more, and the root systems are dense. Over time they do quite a bit for the soil and sequester a lot of biomass.

You ever sit in one of those?

I was recently chair shopping, and thought the same - tried one of those gaming chairs, and it was terrible. Maybe it was the demo model, I dunno - but I couldn't see sitting in it for hours.

An actual racing seat for a car, though - those can be really comfortable. The closest I own is the set of Recaro's in my Isuzu VehiCROSS (they came standard with the vehicle); even as old as they are, they are super nice for driving. I could see using one for an office seat.

Maybe I should look into a cheaper racing seat (I could not afford an actual Recaro seat) for my next office chair? Maybe something from Jegs would work...hmm.
Are these all reliably full-spec? I'd like to know so I can purchase accordingly. Honestly before this I didn't even know some were not full spec.
It would seem to me that we simply need to make buildings (and other materials) out of other resources.

Whether they are expensive or only effective in certain situations is for the purchaser to decide.

Like what? "Multiple worlds" does not require a commitment to the reality of multiple worlds (the misleading rhetoric notwithstanding). (Everett never called it "multiple worlds", he called it "relative state", which is IMHO much less misleading.)
Mr. Sanger hasn't been involved with Wikipedia since 2002. There's nothing preventing him from looking into the situation as an individual, but he has no special knowledge or authority here -- the site today is very different from the one he was involved with 17+ years ago.
> The developers hold the power here.

They do not, this is exactly the point of free software. Anyone can fork it and release their fork under a different name. Don't want to do that work? Too bad. Want to force the developers to do it? Now which party is attempting to exercise power?

The only thing the developers are doing is refusing to modify their free gift to the community to line up with other people's non-technical priorities. This is not an exercise of power — is it simply reminding people that free software contributors are not indentured servants.

"I know what is easier to teach, understand and use"

I think this really depends on the end point. If you want to learn to read data into R and do basic manipulations, plotting, modeling, etc., the Tidyverse absolutely has a lower bar to entry. Once you get into writing functions, it gets a little trickier. Knowing some of the base R programming concepts and skills will make you much more efficient. If you start debugging and profiling code, only knowing the Tidyverse becomes a liability because you fundamentally do not understand R's computational model (the Tidyverse does not follow it). Hence, if your end goal is to write and debug functions in R, the steeper learning curve of base R can more than pay off. If not, then the Tidyverse's low bar to entry can be more attractive.
