I'm going to make an outrageous prediction: due to the changing geopolitical landscape which has been going on since 9/11, loss of trust in the US as a "leader" that can keep the data safe, we will move away from the cloud and back to a model where data sovereignty trumps all else.

This will be enabled by changes to the underlying infrastructure - moving away from BGP and adopting (BGP backward compatible) protocols like SCION[1], as currently implemented by Swiss carriers, which allow improved traffic shaping, and more importantly: jurisdictional geo-fencing.

We'll also see more legislation by the EU to level the playing field against US companies who currently do business with a Double Irish Dutch sandwich.

The current model where the US is the only cloud provider with virtually no EU based competitor and where EU data is locked into US corps is unsustainable. Europeans trust into US companies has never been strong to begin with and current politics (+horrible foreign policy) will reduce it further.

The cloud is dead imo. Because in a climate where national interests are suddenly more important than partnerships and international trade, the cloud is more of a risk than anything else. The US makes that same case too, illustrated by their hostility towards Chinese products (I'm not defending China here at all btw).

Of course you can replace the dependency, but do you know if it is 100% compatible?

My point was that as long as the maintainers don't give us the reason for the static link or the custom dependency, we can assume we can replace it, but we don't know.

Could be that it works, but it uses an insecure cipher, could be that there is a silent corruption.

Nothing is impossible, just means you have to reedit and patch each time and know you running untested things for a secure application.

From the article “In some cases, the .NET Framework 1.1 is specifically identified as required for an app to run”

By “specifically identified” it means that some applications actually hard coded a check of 1.1.
Those concerns are legitimate. My proposal is not a purely centralized hub-and-spoke network topology where one data center drives a million cars. Yes, you can have the central brain too, but I'm thinking more of a mesh network among nearby cars on the road. The network can be fully connected so that one nefarious car cannot take down the whole mesh. There are a lot of cryptographic safeguards to prevent bad actors too. Each car is able to drive on its own, or pull over, only relying on networking for a stream of sensor output from nearby cars. The upstream servers can go down without doing anything worse than making all its client cars pull over and stop. All the steering is done on the client side.

What if terrorists spoof phantom cars or rewrite maps to send people off cliffs? Assume they stole the master signing keys, have root on the central servers, exploited 0-days on the client car software, etc. One car misbehaves somewhere, triggering sensors of nearby cars which tell every other car in an N kilometer radius to pull over en masse. If anything, it is more robust to hacking/terrorism than the independently-self-driving Tesla or Waymo approach because those do not have the benefit of the herd. One gazelle in a herd who gets tackled can yell out to save the rest of the herd.

> I think the direction of the thought is reasonable though, you should just take it a few steps farther. If networked infrastructure is a good idea, then maybe cars are not a good idea. We already have driverless, well defined, organised modes of transportation, they're called trains.

How do I take a train/subway from my apartment to the front door of a McDonald's? People go from building to building. It's not practical to do this without cars or buses outside of maybe 5 cities in the world like HK or NYC.

Also there is an ungodly amount of cars in the world. It's a lot cheaper and efficient to retrofit cars with self-driving modules than to recycle all that metal into trains/subways.
Signal's server[1] and client source code[2,3,4] has been publicly available for many years and are even licensed under the (A)GPL-3.0 (with an exception to allow distribution via Google Play and the Apple App Store).

I don't know where you got the impression this wasn't the case. An earlier VOIP product of theirs (RedPhone) had a proprietary server implementation, but ever since the feature was added to Signal proper it has been free software.

"Only if you are tracing down a problem you are required to look into the details."

This is the common justification, and it's misguided. It turns out that you need to be aware of the "details" every time you look at the code.

If, by looking at the code enough, you memorize the "details," it's tempting to move them to a new function with a clever name that tickles your memory. That won't help anyone else.

Use comments to introduce blocks of code that need explaining. Use functions in coherent APIs.

I think ajross is OK with Facebook telling you, just on their blog or something, not on ads.
It's 100% not true that all programming jobs deal with trees. I worked for years on a major audio/video/screensharing communications SaaS product and never once needed to write recursive code or use a tree structure. Not all code is for processing data. There was tons of code that had very little to do with data structures or algorithms, and much more to do with implementing network protocols, business logic, managing state, abstracting the differences between the various operating systems we had to support, etc...
Similar experiences here. I was a news addict for most of my youth. The general knowledge I gained that way sure helped me to ace college exams, but that's about it as far as benefits go.

All the negativity in news was definitely bad for my mental health. Constantly checking out news was also a giant waste of time - time that could have been spent on self-development, or something that makes me happy. Now I've blocked all news sites of my country on all my devices, and I definitely feel much better. Checking out bbc.com or whatever once a day is enough.
It's interesting that your idea already has traction.

To me, this seems overly complicated. And what I mean by that, is that the user needs to hold the whole concept in his mind. And while this works wonders for very simple scenarios, as things get more complex, everything will end up being more complex and soon the user won't know which is what.

I would suggest you employ a grid concept, where you have columns and rows, and bind fields to those.

If you're familiar (or want to get familiar) with .Net's xaml Grid control, it handles pretty much every situation you can think of.

What advantage do you expect go gain vs not encrypting the channel and then encrypting the entropy (with the same key) when you receive it?

If the bus snooping attacker can break the encryption he could do so with the over the wire copy too.

Is it a question of _authenticating_ the data from the device? If so-- avoiding the case where the bus attacker would replay randomness would require great care in protocol design.

You can’t make this absolute statement. In functional languages it is actively encouraged to use small, pure and composable functions, as I shown in my previous comment.
I also just remembered https://github.com/ndantam/sycamore
Such posts are not "knee jerk low effort". I had very much the same worries when I read this, and I think those are very legitimate worries, worthy of discussion. It used to be FUD and sometimes knee jerk, until it becomes SOP and "why is anybody surprised by this".

In between those stages there are moments where you can ask "is this where we want to go".

Maybe a better question to ask than "are they doing this for vendor lock-in", is "will this allow them to make a decision to easily increase vendor lock-in" (in which case business forces will make that decision). It doesn't really matter what the motivation is, after all, a corporation doesn't have memory for good intentions.

That’s a sure-fire way of getting dataloss. Wouldn’t it be much easier to just upload the backups from users devices when, idk, at night? iCloud requires your device to be locked, connected to WiFi, and charging, so I imagine that already shifts the traffic to off-peak hours.
Interesting that this language is gendered.
robbseaton probably has other reasons but I was a huge Ruby fan years ago and have been using Julia for many years now.

For me both languages have similar types of appeal. Ruby is quick to pick up, allows you to write expressive code and is built on the idea of everything being an object. So Ruby is both clean, easy and expressive.

Julia is EXACTLY the same, but for the modern age. It is easy to learn and expressive. Like Ruby the type system is consistent all over. It is not like Java which has primitive types and objects. Numbers in both Julia and Ruby are treated like any other type.

The primary difference is that Ruby came of age in the most object-oriented hyped period of programming language development and that reflects its heavy OOP design.

Julia came around when OOP was no longer considered the silver bullet. So why Julia has elaborate type hierarchies, it is probably closer to a functional language than an object-oriented one.

When Ruby came out it was a language that appealed to programming language geeks like me. It had a bunch of really powerful features we where not used to.

Julia is kind of the same. Multiple-dispatch and Julia macros is something that appeals to all geeks.

I actually never switched to Julia for performance reasons, but because I loved the language.

> You are heading straight to a civil war.

Just reduce the daytime rates. Besides, it doesn't make sense to have fixed electric rates 24/7 when the cost to supply it varies dramatically. Look at gasoline pump prices, they very all the time due to supply+demand and nobody is fighting a war over that.

> Go tell this to people living through Canadian winter with sub-zero temperature.

I agree that any solution that doesn't cover 100% of use cases is quite useless and inapplicable for the 98% of the population where it would work.

Besides, I live in Seattle which is next to Canada, and this solution would work fine in the PNW climate, which includes Vancouver B.C.

> In practice, server admins are more than happy to block federation with entire other domains (and all associated users, hundreds or thousands at a time) based on little more than gossip and rumor.

If that is easily possible this is doomed from the start, IMO.

You get into situations where you are at the mercy of a single person.

The linked issue's closing comment is even more backward.
The issue opener did not asked for talking to people which do not want talk to him.
Blocking between users is one thing, and can be good to have. Their issue was that the whole federate instance doesn't peers with him, out of theirs or the federated instance in questions people choice or support.

Peering needs to be done unconditionally, even over edges, IMO. Blocking needs to be in the sole control of the user, not the admin of a federation server. All else doesn't makes this better than Facebook, or any other single server instance without federation.

In the whole chain, not very many people care that much. Maintaining data centers requires expertise and many years of commitment and is simply more expensive at any scale unless you are extremely cautious and predictable.

Maintain your own data centers and they become cost centers, with silly games for getting and maintaining capacity, reluctance to expand capacity, and old technology.

A few people will talk loudly about it but not much will actually get done because the people who have experience with the cloud providers and the alternatives won't have any interest in moving back for vague ideals or vague threats.

The only thing most anybody cares about is their cloud providers directly competing with the customer's business model (most notably Amazon).

A more real threat reaction is jurisdictions going after the big five or so for antitrust issues and trying to break a few of them apart.

Amazon or any of them don't care about national interests any more than they have to and they'll do whatever they need to to calm fears (more or less just strengthening the legal regional isolation as necessary).

The entire model is flawed. You don't want federation (small tribes). That's not why people use FB, IG, Twitter. They use it because that's where the people are--network effects. The only reason I'm posting here is because this is where your message can reach people. Federation means you will never ever get network effects. Dead on arrival.

It's possible to have decentralization with network effects. Just have one canonical network. Tor and Bitcoin are good examples.

Downside (or upside?) is that you can't have moderation or else whoever does the moderation becomes the new jack and it's not decentralized anymore.
This is mostly true, but it would be worked on a lot harder if the companies involved had a financial incentive to work on it. Currently the scammers pay their bills and the incentives work the other way - it's best for them to say they are working on it but drag their feet.
Some things overlap, but I think your comment is more about KISS. Early abstractions don't fit KISS. And I believe banging out ugly code can still fit KISS because it does the job.

DRY falls into a different category. For example if you use `.toFixed(2)` to format floats everywhere it is better to abstract it to a function. And I believe this is what the article is about.

Formatting a float is a kind of logic or knowledge about how you present values in the view. You should not repeat this knowledge because if it is later decided that the view must show 3 decimals you are in trouble.

Maybe DRY can be easily explained by: don't repeat (business) logic.
Actually, PCB milling[1] is a thing. I suppose a MPCNC can be used for that. But it still has the huge drawback that you're limited to one layer if you're lazy (like me) or two if you fell like spending the time to add manual vias - though I was told there are tools for that, which work essentially like... Err... riveting pliers? (sorry, non native speaker)
I think you got the use case of such edge caches wrong. You don't get one of those for a single app. Most companies who participate in such edge cache programs don't even have apps. These are boxes that internet service providers plug into their networks, usually close to their customers, hence the name "edge cache". The edge cache owner then routes user requests for big and static content (video streams, large apps, OS updates, stuff like that) coming from networks equipped with edge caches to the caches located within their networks instead of a third-party CDN or the cache owners own server farms, effectively reducing the traffic that particular ISP has to route through to the edge cache owner. It is this aggregate traffic that has to meet a 25Gbps peak minimum to qualify for getting an Apple edge cache.
yeah what I meant wasn't that any of the providers we see today will disappear, but the model under which they are forced to operate will look completely different. I'm not suggesting that Amazon/Google will be kicked out of Europe that would be silly. But they would be forced to a) pay their taxes, and b) implement guarantees that a packet will never leave a certain jurisdiction. This is so different to how cloud works today that you might as well call the cloud dead.
Why do people use email then?

Network effects can be achieved with or without federation. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Yeah, you are not wrong but to me this seems something of a mastodon-exclusive cultural issue. They are confusing federation with tribalism. I've also already read some excuse like "you can always create an account in the other instances if you want to follow anyone there" but to me this just seems like they are missing the point and/or coming up with a way to avoid the harder of work of implementing proper user-level filtering controls.
