This is the Computing Across America guy, Steven K. Roberts. I saw only that book cover online as a young computer enthusiast and was inspired. Here’s a recent post from his blog and another article I found about his projects. Thanks for sharing.

I concur. Booted up my G4 this week, on OS9. Feels so much faster than anything released this century. So much so, I'm keeping it as an air-gapped word processor.

Modern computers, SSDs, super fast RAM, GPUs etc, all needed for computing. But the older machines with outdated hardware, low and slow RAM, and tiny slow PATA or SCSI HDDs feel so fast. I don't doubt that the Quadra feels just as quick. It's not just Apple, same goes for Windows of the same pre-Y2K era compared to now.

The question is why. Why is the user experience so poor. Why is it all so sluggish now. Have we exchanged performance for developer convenience just to punt out more underperforming software? Is the art of creating fast UI code dying out? Is the shift from C/C++ to Swift/.net interpreted bytecode-type solutions the cause? Too many layers of abstraction, too much cross-platform code with compromises to make it run anywhere?

Whatever it is, we're churning out software quicker now but on faster hardware it runs worse than the older tools. It feels backwards to me.
I wouldn't mind a screenshot before installing it.
"Modern society does a great job of discouraging and masking those qualities,"

Until you attempt to shake another's position in a social hierarchy (wittingly or not). Violence, vengeance, and pettiness are not only driven by barbaric feelings. They're strategies! Ones that disgust my intrinsic aesthetics, and probably yours, but which nonetheless are wielded. So let the timid have their controlled experience with such things so that when the wolf "of man known as man" attempts to ambush them, they can drive it off.

But since we're talking about psychedelics like LSD, awakening those qualities seems like a rare experience. I think majority experience would be a light in a tunnel that younger generations seem funneled into as everything around them is increasingly predatory ala ads, distraction, substandard diets, and probably a million other parasites. Being able to shed that for a brief bit and to not shoulder the heaviness of all your frustrations and expectations is immense.
Bootstrap as Code: Part 1, Hardware Is Here to Stay
hey Steve,

What was your thesis about?
I'm not sure what the karma threshold is, but you might be able to open the dead comment and click vouch to make it replyable. I went ahead and did that since it seems to be a good comment. I don't know why so many of their recent comments are dead. Some I can understand, but others...
Thanks, that does indeed appear to be the consensus here, and it's already on my action plan of what to do before talking to my partner about things.
Hello, my name is Shilpa. My co-founder and I started trading cryptocurrencies, more specifically Bitcoin, back in 2016. We had started our first cryptocurrency startup back in 2018 which is also related to cryptocurrency trading and got it funded through an accelerator. During this time of our involvement in the crypto world, one thing that has constantly remained a pain-point is the high withdrawal fees of cryptocurrency exchanges. We make several withdrawals from exchanges like Binance on a daily basis and pay hefty fees every time (sometimes the fee accounts for 20% of the withdrawal).

After months of brainstorming and losing out a lot of money to paying expensive fees, we figured out a way of making the withdrawal fees cheaper and decided to work on it as a side project. We thought of providing it as a platform after having spoken with several traders and almost all of them echoing the same concern. Since then we have been able to reduce the withdrawal fees by 70%.
Any feedback on the product would be very much appreciated.
i didn't mean immunity, but i assumed that california law would always override here. turns out it is very much a case of it depends.

in the EU non-compete clauses are quite limited and usually require compensation. unreasonable clauses can be invalidated.

in germany for example a clause covering the whole country is unreasonable. therefore i think it's unlikely that a clause covering multiple member states would be acceptable.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause

in general there is a mutual recognition of judgements from other states.

thinking about this some more, this obviously must be the case, otherwise working across state borders would be difficult. the same must hold true for the USA as well.

here is one interesting point:

https://www.incegd.com/en/news-insights/recast-brussels-regu...

The basic rule is that a defendant should be sued in the courts of the EU Member State in which it is domiciled.

this would mean if someone were to move to a state where non-competes are unenforceable, then they should indeed likely be able to escape that clause
I haven't yet our ingresses have passed routine ping checks (we use New Relic synthetics for this) for a while now. Fingers crossed.
Of course, why not? It's magic money. Top players will price things in such a way that inflation is still consistent so that their own money is still worth something.

After reading your comment I did some research, and you're right, they don't have anuses, so they just store all their poop in their abdomens until they die, when they decompose and release that poop all at once. So there's that to look forward to.

Prisma 2.0 – Type-safe and auto-generated database client
I at first thought exponential was an overhyping - and that it would self limit far more. It quickly became clear that the long incubation period and infectivity made it very not self limiting, especially with the absolute hash made of the response as ass-covering was preferred over getting real data. Now we are largely in an awkward halting problem situation of not knowing if it will trigger a second wave and if the second wave will level off, form an endemic stable background rate, or explode again.
Congrats on the release!

Full disclosure: I don't have a ton of experience with Dropbox Paper. From what I've seen there aren't many gaps. There are a few markdown elements in paper that I think have cleaner styling (i.e. lists). I also prefer the automatic syntax highlighting and table UI with dropbox paper. That being said, as far as inline markdown editors go, they are quite close.

This is the tool I've wanted (and half written 3-4 times) my whole career. From reading the github it looks lightweight, not a big infrastructure addition, and that it helps you figure out wtf is going on with the web server.

Regarding the branding, for me top is a real-time tool rather than a logging tool. I was picturing something that may have been more useful for older style Apache httpd installs where you have several virtual hosts on a server and you'd want to know who is hogging the resources or causing the problems.

This is the root of the problem. You were always hoping some day this would be corrected, and now that day is here.

I'd recommend crunching the numbers and back this up with data. There should be spreadsheets and charts made of sales figures, expenses, salaries, profits, loses, etc. Prove to your partner that you didn't really get a fair deal as the deal doesn't consider a sale. You should get more simply due to the change in risk.
I was going to add him and David Cronenberg -- both oddly missing.
> Too much weed makes me feel I'm dying.

You should try a strain with less THC and more CBD. More THC will lead to anxiety. The feeling that you're dying is quite common at high THC (for people who smoke rarely), but once you know how to "deal" with it, it opens up some experiences which are quite hard to put in words, but are quite enjoyable. A lot of it depends on the "set" and "setting". Without right setting (or music), I'm sure it would lead to racing thoughts and paranoid feelings.
> Why is the modern software industry in such a constant state of flux?

This is true of both language design and software practices. It's painfully obvious. There are no standards for what constitutes "better" or even "good". Is strict typing better? To what degree? What's it worth as a tradeoff? There are almost no quantitative analyses (https://quorumlanguage.com/ - an attempt was made), which is lamented https://vimeo.com/9270320 by some.

Even ROLES are not well defined (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhfVK_ubk8U) because roles are dependent on known concerns, which are also fuzzy in this industry. Saying development is immature is so understated, it's laughable.
Yea, maybe an insured safe deposit box is the way to go. I'm not pretending to know the way to survive what's headed our way. There's a lot I like about bitcoin, but I don't know that it's the right choice. Just my personal decision.
It's just another tool to create better interactivity in a page.

Just like CSS is a tool to create prettier pages. And HTML is an tool to create layouts and links.

I do think JS should be treated like a permission though. Just like asking for camera access... but apparently the JS sandbox is completely isolated so that's not at all necessary...
This just proves my point.

At the end of the day the enduser doesn’t care about the technical differences.

They just want their videos. Which is why the iPad is so impressive.
I can quickly list our findings (from testing on our specific actual workloads; ymmv etc):

For collections, we used to use trove but migrated to fastutil a few years ago.

For JSON parsing, we are processing lots of very small messages, so use LazyJson. The biggest downside to LazyJson is it doesn't have cheap iteration of keys; the framework could easily provide it. For larger documents, say over a few MB, libraries like Jackson are faster.

Yeah, perhaps Java isn't the right tool for our job. And yeah, more recent benchmarking and testing might suggest newer, better libraries than those I have just listed.

Its horrific the lengths you have to go to to get good performance Java for the workloads we have; python prototypes run much faster with pypy, and I think that is really about heap management more than code generation.

For those of us who know C/C++, its kinda uncomfortable when staring at code and thinking "that temporary string there? 40+ bytes just for the object header!" and things. But, of course, there are advantages to working in memory-safe languages.

C# and its structs, yummy.
Likely, but that sort of framework makes it easier to adjust the relative share of each component currency over time. If only as a separate, more popular bundle.

The problem is, and that is what I tried to point out with my comment, that the only thing preventing the iPad to be useful for more people is, how artificially limited iPadOS is. It is a great device, but not a replacement for a computer.
Mhm, that's a fair point, I'll look into it, might need a bit of glue but shouldn't be too bad (thank).

I thought it was going to be some boring material UI screenshots, but this is so much more interesting! Susceptible to the usual C bugs, albeit with minor impact. I thought they were switching most of the kernel and drivers to Rust, for some reason.

Gamification in Email Marketing: Our Personal Experience
I don't think inflation is a good indicator of the kind of stability needed here. What I believe matters the most is the the political stability of the EU as a project, and the eurozone as a community. Over the past 15 years, we've seen multiple episodes of: rise of autocratic rulers in the east, growing political influence of Russia, rise of right/left-wing anti-European political parties who want out of the euro, Germany threatening Greece with expulsion from the eurozone, etc.

It's hard to imagine the world betting on the Euro for the next 50 years having seen this happen times and times again over the past decade or so.
Does it though?

Logically that's what we should be doing now (and it sort of is - all of those currencies are freely tradeable on the markets today), and yet we still use the dollar as the base currency for almost everything. We don't have to, but we do, because otherwise you don't have a single, comparable figure you can place on anything.

I get that not having a single figure is entirely the point, but even now, I don't think of bitcoin in terms of what it costs in pounds (even though UK here), because that's not how we collectively value it for comparison's sake.

I think the US would have to destroy its' economy entirely (or enter a period of genuine hyperinflation) before we move away from it as a base currency.
the basket can be adjusted, just like eg. the s&p 500 index.
The Forbes and Intereconomics articles are both about quantitative easing (QE), which is also performed by the US Federal Reserve.[1][2] In your original post, you had implied that the euro was being manipulated in a way that the US dollar is not, so QE is not enough.

The Investopedia link is about Greece, and it does not even mention QE, let alone any other type of currency manipulation.

While it can be used to simulate nib and brush characters, it's not required. Most of the CM typefaces do not use that functionality (only the calligraphic uppercase letters, designed by Neenie Billawalla, use the nib feature).
Right. Specifically what's going on here is that for TLS 1.2 resumption your client remembers the secret keys it was using last time, but the server doesn't want to keep secret keys for every single client that might re-connect so it has its own secret Session Ticket Encryption Key (STEK) and it sends any client a "ticket" with the server's state for that client's connection in it, encrypted using the STEK.

The not at all obvious problem in TLS 1.2 is that the state encapsulated in the ticket will work not only in some hypothetical future TLS resumption (which you might never do) but also the session you are in already now. And that ticket is sent over the wire if resumption is permitted, during session setup, before the symmetric encryption for the TLS channel has switched on.

So what that means is that if you know the STEK (which now for affected GnuTLS servers you do) you can read any session you captured in which resumption was allowed, including fresh sessions which were never resumed, and passively decrypt the entire thing. Nothing anybody can do about it.
- Domain mastery is more important than being a jack of all trades.

- Realize you are signing up to be part of a bigger machine, and there are things you will have less control over. This is both limiting and empowering.

- Both people in small and large companies can be smart, but they are typically a different flavor of smart. Learn from them accordingly.

- You should plan to have a much longer lead in terms of getting things done if it requires a dependency on a team you don't work with frequently.

- The team you work on is far more important than the company you work for.

- Be active rather than passive about finding opportunities and projects to work on. You can easily get stuck working in a role you might not be a fit for or a manager you don't click with.
Istio as a Lightweight API Gateway?
They're both. All that stuff comes from MicroPython for full disclosure. There's a bytecode VM and a rather primitive JIT. Such primitive that actually on modern designed-for-meltdown processors, bytecode VM actually runs faster than the JIT.

My interest for Pycopy is exactly to work on more advanced JIT, etc. techniques, and that's one of the reason for the fork - I want to keep the foundation clean and simple enough (yet extensible). "Simple" is the foundation for "fast JIT" (because if you have to much stuff to check for, the result code will be slow).
Thanks for the answer. That appears to be a logical answer.
Good to know and that part should be clarified in the readme so that upon skimming it's clear that cloudflare is optional.

Depends on what people mean by 'websites'.

There's a lot of pie in the sky JavaScript discussion where folks talk about going without / this site doesn't need JS and so forth and I imagine they're talking about sites largely with static content and text where the user just consumes that and doesn't interact much beyond navigation.

I think those are valid points to some extent... and I'm not sure how many sites really are purely static no matter how much we might wish they were. I admit I miss that internet too but ...

On the other hand I work on a lot of 'web applications' for businesses... zero JS is not really an option.

As for how many people care overall about a lack of JS on a page, I'm pretty sure it is very small.

Yes you can pay to have someone pin it--there are pinning services--but you can also just replicate it among your own nodes. It would be comparable to Dropbox plus encryption.

Another thought less well explored would be to swap space with friends such that you hold each others pins but you can't read your friends' encrypted blocks. This is kind of the premise behind filecoin, which lets you buy space (ie if you want someone to hold your blocks) and sell space (ie, mining is equal to holding someone's blocks).

They should use Peergos [1], which satisfies all their requirements. It's built on top of ipfs, encrypts metadata as well as data, and hides file sizes and directory structure too. A directory is indistinguishable from a small file. We can also use S3 compatible object storage, including allowing direct reads and writes from the browser. Disclaimer: I'm the founder.

Ah, correct, I see where my confusion came from before. While I think you are largely correct, your explanation might be a bit incomplete.

As far as my understanding goes, these mental disorders generally have an early onset, around your early 20s, and the question of whether drugs cause them or simply speed up the timeline is unanswered. This is partly why you should abstain from drugs as long as possible - it is better to start at 25 than at 16. In other words, if you are 30, never had any mental issues and you start smoking cannabis, you are unlikely to develop schizophrenia, for example.

I may be wrong with the above, and I'd love to be corrected.
> I got a little obsessed with it actually and had to step away from it for a while lol.

Same here. I burnt a ton of time just scanning for voice communications and analyzing ADS-B. Once you start playing around in GNU Radio and decoding more exotic stuff, you really start going down the RF rabbit hole. It's an amazing hobby for learning about electronics.
Or you rent managed servers or colo space from one of the many hosting providers that also offers cloud services, and pick and choose. That lets you migrate your base load to colo or managed servers over time, while you still have the nimbleness of being able to scale up and down dynamically if you want or need to.

And my experience from providing devops services to clients on a contract basis is that the clients who use cloud services tends to need more, not less, devops assistance.
