What does Ethereum have to do with surfing a decentralized Web? Or like what is it bringing to the party? I would imagine most of this is just IPFS, right? Aren't there other like non cryptocurrency based distributed dns systems? I'm just confused how cryptocurrency popped up, or what am I just totally fucking missing?
> You're insisting that discrimination is required to be non-discriminatory.

Because parsing this sentence threw me for a loop, I'll note that I think you mean "you're insisting that, in order to be non-discriminatory, discrimination is required" rather than "you're insisting that there is a requirement imposed on discrimination, to wit, that it must be non-discriminatory".

I would disagree here. Scala's language spec is smaller than javas, it's problems are akin to Lisps. Too many dsls, extensions and so on. It really opened the doors for FP concepts to go mainstream. Unfortunately, some people went way too far with it.
Well no, the point, as the whitepapers explain, is that there is provable cryptographic protection from Apple or Google tracking you.

What version of TP? The linked articles is about TP3, which lacks common prog lang features that later versions definitely had (like proper modules or objects).

If you take a look at later versions or even early Delphi, I'd say garbage collection. Other languages from the Wirthian family had it, like Modula-2/3 or Oberon.

Lambdas/first class functions.

Unicode support.

Syntactic sugar up the wazoo.

Other than that, I think one could be very productive in a TP 5.5-ish language even today. The rest would be mostly about the infrastructure and community, like IDEs, package management and Medium posts with lots of memes.
Not that I disagree with your point, but the computers used for the Apollo program needed a healthy amount of printed manuals and ground-based support to be functional. They were only a part of the computational stack required for Apollo.

But you can't identify anyone in the social network, because the identifiers you get aren't tied to any individual unless the individual chooses to reveal them.

So unless you're tracking a terrorist and their social network comes down with Coronavirus and you subpoena the hospital they were tested at for records, you aren't able to tie the IDs to individuals.
Yes. I'm using one with a Kurzweil K2600 synthesizer. Really, for most devices the only reason it requires care when setting up is because the usability of the config software is poor, and the documentation is worse. For a simple case (like just turning the whole of a 4GB SD card into a single virtual disk it's pretty straightforward, once you understand what the config utility is expecting you to do.

I see people have already told you that the atmosphere is thinner. But they've not really said just how much thinner.

The atmosphere on Mars is about one hundred times thinner than on Earth. That means that between "Earth atmosphere" and "vacuum", it's 99% of the way to being a vacuum.

This means that the blades need to spin really REALLY fast. Like "oh no, we'll start having transonic effects on the blades" fast. It's really tricky to build a craft where the propellers move faster than the atmosphere can "move aside". It was a really big deal to go supersonic back in 1947 or whatever, and that was with planes and did not use propellers. Transonic effects is why modern airplanes have swept wings.

But yes, gravity is like a third, so it's got that going for it.

So this is really cool, and I even found it unrealistic in the Mars TV series that they had drones, because how could that possibly be effective? Shows what I know.

I saw some videos on this drone on youtube. It can't really fly on Earth. So no, a drone off the shelf really can't fly on Mars.
I don't know.

But another concern is that ventilators are known to cause lung damage (because of the high pressure involved) and are typically only used for a day or two with most conditions. With this, people are being kept on them for a week or two in many cases.

So it's not unreasonable to assume that unusually long-term use of a protocol known to harm the lungs is actively creating problems for patients.
I've lost one of my (two) Gmail accounts. Attempting to get it back was an existential exercise in looking into the maw of nothingness. Kind of like that thing from The Fifth Element or something. Even know a ranking insider, but... nothing.

Relying on any company for more than one divisible service in 2020 is insane. Use Google for search? Don't use them for anything else.

There are lots of little guys out there doing great stuff. Put a few bucks in their direction. Shutouts are fascist.
I'm gonna need a quote on that one
I don't. Whoever thought recompiling Lazarus whenever you need to simply add another component to its pallet really lost the spirit of Pascal/Delphi on that one.
Running a (1) mail server is not enough. You need fault tolerance.

And then of course spam filtering, DKIM and whatnot, maybe a nice web interface, ...

Running an SMTP server is easy. The rest? Not so much.

Rolling your own is great. However, it's not for most people and requires constant monitoring and maintenance.

I'll also add the Open Mainframe Project blog post here as well...

https://www.openmainframeproject.org/blog/2020/04/09/open-ma...

A few other bits to clarify things ( coming from me being Director of the Open Mainframe Project )...

- The coursework itself is being contributed to a new open source project being hosted by Open Mainframe Project ( CC-BY-40 license ).

- We would have liked it to be ready at the time of announcement, but it literally got approved by the Open Mainframe Project TAC as a new project about an hour before the blog post went live ;-). Have no fear, it should be landing next week ( there will be a bit of work to come on translating docx files to markdown, in case anyone wants to help ).

- Right now the course work focused on VS Code as an editor, but the project is very open to contributions that leverage other IDEs ( such as Eclipse Che, Atom, etc )

- Open Mainframe Project is part of the Linux Foundation, with IBM being one of the 30+ sponsoring organizations.

- On the notes I've seen around "hey let's rewrite all that COBOL code in some modern language", I won't add more fuel to that fire ;-). I will however say there is some interesting work in a project hosted by Open Mainframe Project called Zowe ( https://zowe.org ), which basically makes connecting to mainframe apps and data on z/OS much easier ( think REST APIs, CLI interface you can use on your laptop, App framework for creating browser based apps, etc ).

Anyways - hope this helps! Feel free to ping me if you want more details or help getting engaged ( @jmertic on Twitter ).

That's nice when it works. (Didn't for me.)

But it's absolutely no way to run a business. Pass.
This is some good info, I personally still use GMail and used to use GSuite. Migrating from GSuite -> Gmail was a nightmare in of itself, but I found a service that helped me keep my custom domain emails and no longer feel like a second class citizen. So even if someday Google decides to kill my Account, I can just reroute my domain to a new service with not issue.

The service I used is ImprovMX. YOu just setup your DNS records, and they handle your domain emails. Any number of aliases and redirects you need. Their free tier is very generous with 10 domains, and I think 15-20 aliases per domain. Super easy to get my family on there for our family domain and my other custom domains.

I then made a new standard gmail account, migrated everything I could, repurchased apps, and then just forwarded my email to the gmail account after detaching it from GSuite. It was fairly painless on this front.

You can do email alias sending of emails with any provider, but ImprovMX has SMTP services now that get rid of that pesky "on behalf of" label of your emails. It is part of their Pro feature set, but that's just $9 a month for a ton of features and peace of mind. Full DKIM support and the such.

You can even setup a custom domain as a login email for your GMail and most other services, so you can login with it just like you would with GSuite.

Now I know this is a post about moving away from Google, but this could be a stepping stone, because once you do all this. If i decided I want to use Fastmail, PurelyMail, Outlook, Yahoo, or whatever the hell else I want. I can just change the target email in ImprovMX and it goes to the right place. The rest is all just import/export from gmail.

You can just GYOB to make detailed Maildir format backups of Gmail, and either restore them into another gmail account, or find a way to import them into your new service using similar tools.

Or just keep a local backup, use NotMuch or a NotMuch UI like Neit Viel to search/lookup your old emails, and start fresh in your new place.

One little gotchya if you do this. Gmail saw the initial set of ImprovMX emails as spam or fraud for a few emails as they would come from 1 email, but had ImprovMX redirect info. SO be sure to double check spam folders for a a few days for miscategorized emails. Once the spam blocker learns ImprovMX is ok, it will start working as normal. (Thought I think ImprovMX improved something on their end as I have even seen this particular thing happen in a while.

A full diagram has a circle at the bottom for customers and a circle at the top for management.

The PM is the hub of communication between all 4.

Although on a day-to-day basis, it's the dev team and business/sales that make up the large majority of interaction.

Check-ins with management are occasional, and conversations with customers are just kind of an ongoing informative thing.
> I gave up during the switch to the 2018 edition. Today, I still write 2015 code because I couldn't bother to decipher how paths and `extern crate` had changed.

That exact same thing happened to me. When the 2018 edition came along and made a bunch of changes that seemed, from my perspective, arbitrary and unnecessary, I couldn't really be bothered to keep up anymore and lost a lot of enthusiasm for the future of language and the team in charge.

I also think the addition of async is interesting and I may have to bite the bullet and really learn 2018. Although I hate the postfix `.await` keyword that looks like member access. The recent `try` block discussion seems to be adding additional sugar that increases the learning curve for dubious gains. Would that the goal of minimalism of the standard library also applied to the language itself.
Here is touch.c [1] from macOS. The only change since Lion is the addition of the __used attribute on a couple of consts at the beginning. It's very similar to the FreeBSD one, though they've diverged slightly in the past 2 decades.

It supports 8 different flags (plus an undocumented -? flag), with support for using absolute or relative times, setting various timestamps on a file, and options for dealing with symlinks and permissions and such. More features than I'll ever need, but not outrageously so.

On Mojave, this file is only 23392 bytes, so it's no longer bigger than Turbo Pascal. Plus, automatic filesystem compression shrinks this down to only 7340 bytes on disk. Since blocks are 4096 bytes, this is actually the second-smallest (non-empty) file!

There's not really any clean definition of "holography" anyway, and it's a pedantic (and long-since lost) battle to insist that anything that calls itself "holographic" be achieved with wave interference.

Besides, they have a lot more in common than you think. This is recreating a (single-parallax) light field - it's not really doing anything different from an imaging perspective than a single-parallax direct-write digital hologram - only the physics differs. The technique is fully generalizable to full-parallax. Saying that it can't be a "hologram" because it doesn't use lasers is a little like saying a Tesla isn't a "car" because it doesn't burn gasoline.
In what universe are healthcare experts remotely qualified to understand the economic ramifications of optimizing for health-related variables? They have little to no expertise in economics, government, or other areas whose variables they are massively altering in their quest to optimize the health variables they care about. Apparently they are willing to collapse nations, create millions of homeless, etc. with their advice.
Yep but probably more relevant than ever as Mexico still hedges most of it's production. That's why they have been able to hold out against the rest of OPEC+ on production cuts. They are basically guaranteed to get a much better price for their oil so cutting production probably doesn't make sense for them. So that hedge is really giving Mexico an outsized influence on global oil right now

Right, which is one of the differences between a ventilator and a CPAP machine. CPAPs don't have a return hose, so virus can spread from the exhaled air. Some hospitals are putting breathing masks on people just so they're not spreading virus into the hospital.

I've also ready some hospitals are using techniques were O2 levels are increased directly in the blood supply? I can't remember what that's called though.
Oh no. Rest in peace John.

I think the reason that some say that the Iraq war was never won is because they keep moving the goalposts from the stated mission during 2003.

Make Iraqi military surrender check

Overthrow Saddam Hussein check

Eliminate al-qaeda leadership in Iraq check

Establish new leader check

Establish a democratic system check

Levels of sectarian violence are also low nowadays as a bonus. Did this all take longer than estimated. Yes, but all are objectively completed. The debate is not whether the war was won, but whether it was worth winning which is kind of what you are starting to get into. Anyway, nothing much more to be done in Iraq. It is up to the Iraqi people to now decide their destiny for good or ill.

>You're overrating the "logistic capability" of the US here. The US used its network of allies for staging into these regions. Without that network, it would've been much more costly and difficult.

A network of bases in ally regions is a part of logistical capability.

>In a war against a real state actor (like China), the US would not be able to operate with impunity. Simply knocking out 2 or 3 capital ships would devastate the US capability to project force.

They could, but China has never actually demonstrated capability of doing so. The only time we have seen China in a modern fight was during the Sino-Vietnamese War. They did not fair too well with their next door neighbor. They also haven't been able to test any of their technology since then while the US at least has been able to test some of theirs except their newest big tech.

Also, I don't see US using a fullout assault on China, but more so an embargo meant to starve the China of food and energy imports. China in it's current state would not be able to deal with that.

There is no clear benefit to war anyway so I don't see China and the US getting into a direct war. China fighting with one of it's neighbors and the US helping with supplies, resources, and money is the much more likely scenario.

The decentralized web isn't using non-web projects or web abstraction layers. The decentralized web is everyone hosting their own webserver from home. It's easy, everyone has a fast enough connection, and without the motives and requirements of a business it's safe.

Opera, back in it's old age before dying and becoming a Chinese owned Chrome skin approached this. It allowed anyone to easily and simply host their own content by running a webserver in the browser. Opera handled the human-compatible naming/look-up side but realistically even IP addresses that change are fine.
