I don't understand the threat model here. The link needs almost the same kind of protection as the original password. The only difference is, that the link expires.

So how do you transmit those links securely and why didn't you use that for your passwords in the first place?

"the product of pi and the square of r" is no less clear than the mathematical transcription of it.

3245 is perhaps English, but there's nothing wrong with "three thousand, two hundred and forty-five".

Some more examples taken from Wikipedia:

The sum of zero and zero. Five less than the product of eight and some value. Seven times the square of some value plus four times the aforesaid value minus ten.

I mean I could go on; these are either not ambiguous, or they're ambiguous only because of a lack of convention.

We don't do it because our attention span doesn't last long enough. We need to keep looking back at what we've already read to really understand what we're reading. Mathematical formulae give us the ability to do that quickly, since the graphical, multidimensional concise layout quickly allows us to find the place we're looking for.

> Systemd is at odds with the core design philosophy of UNIX

No. All the enterprise Unix OSs had advanced system management facilities that a mesh of RC scripts well before Linux (the OSS Unix OSs still mostly don't). Whatever the core design philosophy of Unix was or is, mostly people who do work on it as a hobby seem to care.
I haven’t seen an AMP page for quite some time, it seems that strategy is pretty much a failure.

I've used it as a lightweight alternative to LucidChart and was impressed. Pretty cool to be able to just download it as html, in addition to as an image.
Ah yes praising empire! Not particularly American.
Yes, and PeerTube also uses a central server as matchmaker model, but in this case the match could be made to another Federated server on a different host.
Only one of those particular issues is outdated, as the article tells you up front. Monero still has issues that remain and continue to be found as time goes on. It's not a good protocol and not a safe one for privacy.
You can share content with users of other instances, or import content that is being shared with you into your own account. This is federation, but still quite limited.

Example: I can share a folder from I@myserver.org with you@yourserver.net
> Meantime, systemd is now taking over my logs, network, device tree, time service, cron, and more.

This is a misrepresentation. It does have components for all of those things, but AFAIK only journald and udev (I think) are non-optional. You're free to use cron, chrony (NTP), NetworkManager (or whatever), etc.
I'm betting on Education too.
Healthcare seems just as big and inefficient to me honestly.
I think another important point is maybe a lot of developers have issues with trust.

Often times it's not about the money on its own. It's just that I don't trust a critical part of my business to a $10 / month service that I'm not 100% convinced will be around for the long run or has an impeccable track record.

For example, I trust Stripe a lot and have no problem basing my business on them but not so much that company I never heard of who is offering a useful service. It might be good, but without concrete proof or dozens or hundreds of success stories then I feel a lot more confident just rolling my own solution because I know it will work in the way I designed it (with or without bugs but if it's buggy, I know where to go to fix it).
Dhclient has a lot of hooks where you could easily stick a script or binary to report back to systemd what the state of the network config is. But that would require systemd folks to spend time and effort on thinking about how to integrate existing software into their ecosystem, so they rather roll their own, which obviously takes much more time in total, but it fits the general NIH attitude of the whole project. Oh and it gives them the opportunity to repeat every mistake ever made regarding writing DHCP/NTP/... clients made during the past thirty years, plus some bonus RCEs.
> there's still stuff (and people) left over from the early days

Very little stuff and only a very few people, they've also been busy warning about this whole situation, even offering solutions [0] that sound rather fantastical in their probability of being realizable.

So while you are technically correct; There's still a little tiny bit of trustworthy content left on the www, it doesn't make really that much of a difference when 70%+ of the webs traffic is systematically routed past that to game the attention economy and facilitate mass-scale data collection.

Chipotle already has a processed vegan product: Sofritas. By definition converting soy into tofu by coagulating and separating curds (protein extraction) and forming blocks means it is a processed food. Is tofu a bad thing?

If you use a little imagination, beef is a live processed food. You input vegetables and it gets converted into protein and fat. It is then extracted (slaughter and butchering) and can be further processed by grounding, dehydrating, etc.
>- Engagement: Unlike Youtube they cannot use a recommender system like for suggestions. Most Youtube views are from recommendations and related videos

I won't be missing yt's recommendations at all. If peertube can implement related videos only based on the current video and nothing else, that would be great though.
High end research has always been able to attract tier one candidates to work for them at low pay as they want to do a PHD.

Unfortunately this depresses pay -when I started at a world leading hydrodynamics research in the UK in the late 70's I was paid about 1/3 of the equivalent grade in the civil service!

which is why I left technically interesting programming job and sold my soul to the commerce.
> Maybe expecting people to set up a server is just a bridge too far? Maybe there's just too many conveniences in centralization for todays users to put up with the hassle?

The users expected to set up servers should be tech-savvy people (not necessarily with any programming experience) wanting to do something for their online and offline communities. This should be like hosting forums, which is still a thing here and there. Or WordPress.

This infrastructure should be in place when some major event strikes that would drive people from centralized platforms (compare https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21480623 ). Of course who knows what will happen. But at least, we should have a durable infrastructure as an alternative to big corporate players, even if only some people will use it in practice.

It would be interesting if Alphabet would support some PeerTube-like initiative at some point, as an anti-antitrust measure.
Languages evolve all the time, without the creation of a "fork" language.
I wonder if a decentralized recommendation system is really impossible though. If it's possible to get a user to rate and classify a few videos along some dimensions, and made those classifications public, it might be possible to find other users who similarly classified those videos and recommend videos based on the ratings of those similar users. This would mitigate many attempts at censorship, though it probably worsens echo chamber issues.

Also, a new platform doesn't have to solve every problem with the old one to be an improvement. Decentralized content delivery with a centralized recommendation engine might still be enough to compete if centralized content delivery platforms screw up badly enough.
According to https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article..., the American Rule essentially came about as follows.

Originally (in the 18th century), legal fees were regulated by the state (/colony), and these fees would be borne by the losing party. But these fees were rather miserly, so the legal profession argued for the ability to charge what they wanted as a consequence of freedom of contract. By the mid-19th century, the courts relented and permitted this, but cost recovery was limited to the miserly fees permitted by legislation, and it was felt unjust and unfair to have the losing party bear costs they had no control over. After some vacillation, the courts eventually agreed that costs could be recovered, but only if the legislature rather explicitly allows for it in law or statute.
You only need a paid account if you want to sign and notarize your app.

You can build apps and distribute them without a developer account. But macOS will show a scary warning to your users.
not really true. You can send the link via slack. the person would then need to actually be listening to your slack messages in real time, which is a threat but a very minor one. What this protects against is the real password being visible in Slack logs and archive history for all to see.

so, it doesn't solve every problem, but it does solve most real problems.
I really want to like peertube but I think its UX, at least where it stands now, is going to hold it back from ever challenging youtube.

I use youtube a lot, and for a huge range of topics. I don't have any interest in creating an account on a niche-specific instance and I think the average user who doesn't even understand what federalization does even less. However, I literally don't even understand how to make an account on what, as far I can tell, is supposed to be the go-to instance - https://peertube.social. If there's no main platform where you can watch and discover general content then there's nothing that you can point new users to.

As a developer, if you want to host a niche video site, then peertube looks great. As a user, if you want to move off of youtube then I don't think this is how you're going to do that.
> I often found that stressing about "semantic html" and the "correct way" is just virtue signaling and in reality, in real projects, if it works it works, and you move on.

On the other hand, I have found that most of the time the "I don't care, it works for me" people are just lazy or incompetent. Others mentioned blocking your site for screenreaders and ethical scrapers, I can add non standard (mobile) browsers to the list.

You might say you don't care about them. I say that is the same as throwing your household waste over the fence and let others fix it. It doesn't exist if you can't see it! The web as a whole becomes more inaccessible, it fortifies existing monopolies and mono culture.

It does not have to be perfect, you don't have to spend days. A little effort and awareness goes a long way.
> 3.) Developers undervalue their time.

I must admit that this made me pause and contemplate my relationship with time at work.
As examples of successful server-based p2p projects go, I would have picked Matrix and Mastodon. Not as successful as e-mail, mind you, but steadily growing.

Matrix is envisioning a transition to a complete p2p system in the future, if that ever proves possible.

Some stats are available on https://the-federation.info/info , such services have been recently coined as the "fediverse", and ActivityPub is a standard that emerged out of the will to unify those services and make them interoperable: mastodon, peertube and diaspora are interoperable, AFAIK.
> It seems like they did not consider how they want peertubers to be able to monetize.

This is a valid point, the majority of [YouTube] creators want to earn money from their content, which would make PeerTube more appealing to creators big & small IMO.
I’d be more surprised to find a bank with a public API.
You're right, in general a lot of people pay lip service to higher principles when it's convenient, but as soon as the issue is something they don't like then there are all kinds of vague second-order reasons why the mere potential of another person's rights are harmful and must be restricted.

Zoning laws and gun regulation are both great examples. But as another commenter pointed out I suspect that there's actually more overlap between these particular issues than otherwise, they're both hallmarks of well-off suburbanites who want protection from the rabble.

> Stability: As a business or media outlet, I will link to a Youtube video but not a PeerTube video because I know Youtube will host it indefinitely.

If you want the video to stay up indefinitely (or at least as long as your company continues operating) you should probably host it yourself (e.g. on your own PeerTube instance), because YouTube might take it down whenever they feel like it.
No, but they are all ignorant. That's the whole point. You can come to your own conclusions about your own religious beliefs, but if you blindly accept what someone tells you, you are acting in ignorance. Again, you're choosing to use the word savage.

I love Liberapay, but it suffers from its policy that donations need to be unambiguously donations. You can't have reward tiers or exclusive content.

That's a decision I respect, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing we have a pure donation platform. But I don't think Liberapay is a replacement for Patreon, because the economics and incentives for donations online are messy, and Liberapay doesn't help me navigate that mess.

I would love to have an Open donation platform that was more willing to get into that grey area between donations and purchases. Patreon isn't really that great of a platform, a replacement would be welcome.
Went on https://peertube.video/ and immediately got a bunch of porn. Not really sure from a consumer aspect this is yet fully there from a UX perspective!

But the tech is really interesting and as a federated alternative I could see it doing really well. Best of luck to the team!
Common Pro-Kremlin Disinformation Narratives
> The idea that two possible states of matter might be in competition and that the dominant mode is suppressing one or more alternative modes is fairly common in quantum materials, the researchers say. This suggests that there may be latent states lurking unseen in many kinds of matter that could be unveiled if a way can be found to suppress the dominant state.

How exciting! I can only daydream about the kind of discoveries to be found about matter in, say, 50 years.

Noise isn't a protocol, it's a recipe for building protocols. So this is like suggesting QUIC WG having bought all the rest of the furniture for the house should instead of buying this ready made dining table & chairs that fit the rest of the house perfectly buy a book on carpentry and chop a tree down to start making the table by hand.

Most situations which would /not/ be happy with TLS here will likewise find things not to like in any particular hypothetical Noise-based TCP replacement, because the parameters of the recipe matter to them. They'd like a different hash function, different type of symmetric encryption, or different DH. In Noise the only way to do that is start over, like if during final assembly of the table you decided you want a pine table not an oak one. So these people would most likely insist on using Noise for their own custom protocol anyway regardless of what QUIC does.

And if you _do_ use the Noise recipe it's not as though you just throw in the elements you've chosen and out pops a replacement for TLS. Noise isn't interested in the handshake problem, which is 95% of TLS, it's just waved away as something you should solve for yourself. For a VPN like WireGuard that's not crazy - in practice many VPN setups did this, or worse, already. But for most TCP connections (even ignoring the Web) it's a non-starter.

So Noise replaces 5% of what TLS does for QUIC, and only once you've picked your ingredients. It's a bad trade.
> In Israel if someone sues you and they lose they have to pay (up to a reasonable amount) for your lawyer and legal representation.

It's very common in Israel for the judge to rule that each side cover their own legal expenses (e.g. if the ruling is in favor of the defendant, but the lawsuit isn't frivolous).

Another thing I see a lot is scammers scraping my blog's RSS feed and re-publishing my articles on their site, then filling it with adware. Sometimes the page they show to googlebot is completely unrelated to the page you get when clicking through.
If I wrote an article in 2015 and freshen it up with more relevant links, better writing, or some other thing, is it still published in 2015? Should I re-date it? Am I "gaming" the system by doing that? Or am I notifying my readers (all 3 of them!) that there is fresh content?

This is actually a real question from me, and I'd love feedback. I look back on my stuff from a few years ago and the blog posts need fixing up, be it for SEO, for my more up to date 'voice' or because I switched to Gutenberg and removed janky slider plugins that haven't been updated since 2014. Should I re-date? Or leave them as-is?
You seem to think ideas have value without execution.

I meet people like this at hackathons sometimes.

They tend to say things like: “I want to start a company. I already have the idea. Since I supplied the idea, I’ll own most of the company but I’ll be really generous and let you have 10% equity if you just write the program.”

Things don’t work this way.

BitChute certainly, if only in part. The website proper is centralized, but the video delivery is ran via BitTorrent. Currently the video quality is kept somewhat low (720p IIRC), but this means initial wait time is pleasantly short, on the order of 2...5 seconds.

I think hosting a niche video site is more PT’s speed anyway.

There are plenty of video makers that have an audience that would follow them them to a new platform and PT is one way to do that and (possibly) keep more of the cut that YT is currently taking now.

As long as YT stays dominant they’re always going to have the advantage of availability and discovery so it’s honestly not worth competing for makers on that front.

SO answers are really good learning place. That is if you read the whole thread instead of copypasting the accepted answer.

Usually, at least for .net, there are explanations not only how to do something, but why do it this way.

I learned quite a bit from SO, it at least pointed me towards right direction in docs. Nowadays i just read the docs instead, but i still google for SO answers for new problems.

Maybe there is an API i have no idea about ,nor my colleagues do? Maybe there is a better way to solve problem XYZ?

Instead of skimming myriad of blogs i can just read the answers on SO and then read up the docs.

SO is as good, or bad, as you make it - if you just copypaste answers, or provide an answer in form of code with minimal explanation why - then that's on you.
I was primarily referring to the free on the hot path. GCd languages don't force any allocation paradigms. But due to the unpredictability of the GC, you could be in the middle of a query execution and the GC can kick in. With C/C++/Rust, you're free to maintain your own a allocator that could have a buffer pool of pages that can be recycled and freed when the database is idle. Under a large load, the micro spikes in latency can have an avalanche effect that leads to a build up of queries. I've dealt with customer cases where the MySQL/InnoDB lock manager caused connection spikes due to a brief (< 10 us) global write lock taken while the system was under load.
