"As one of the founders of the project, Google is the current owner of the Istio trademark. While anyone who is using the software in accordance with the license can use the trademarks, the historic ownership has caused some confusion and uncertainty about who can use the name and how, and at times this confusion has been a barrier to community growth. So today, as part of Istio’s continued commitment to openness, Google is announcing that the Istio trademarks will be transferred to a new organization, the Open Usage Commons, to provide neutral, independent oversight of the marks.

Do you mean having individual sliders for each gain? Right now there is just one slider that scales all gains in such a way that unformily increases/decreases the closed loop bandwidth.

Big Heads – Easily generate characters for your projects
I've had enough years to become wiser, become a fanatic for configuration management, and get over the embarrassment: I'm the consultant that screwed things up. Some background: the Stat department was running a variety of systems besides the Solaris workstations, and there was, within UNC-CH, a separate support organization that was cheaper and more comfortable with Microsoft products where Stat was sending their support dollars. When that organization needed Unix support, they called my employer, Network Computing Solutions, and I showed up.

There was effectively no firewall at UNC-CH at the time (something something academic freedom something something), and the Stat Solaris machines were not being regularly patched. Uninvited guests had infested them, and it appeared the most likely entry point was sendmail - at the time, it was the most notorious vulnerability on the internet. Since my preference to wipe and reload was unacceptable - too much downtime and too many billable hours - the obvious thing to do was update sendmail. The rest is history.
I am writing an app that needs worker threads both on the backend and also on the frontend (because of some heavy processing of large amounts of "objects") and my experience with TS so far is very poor. JS runtimes are just not suitable for heavy concurrent/parallel processing. Serialization/deserialization overhead between threads is probably (much) worse than it would be if the worker threads were in Rust.

It's not a matter of speed here. It's a matter of enabling certain types of programs which are borderline impossible with pure JS runtimes.

So I will probably move most of the logic to Rust
IIRC in Germany the nuclear power operators were essentially allowed to put aside large amount of money taxfree to be used for decommissioning. They used those funds to expand into many other areas (so they could use the funds for high risk investment). I will try to find a source.

Yes! Thank you GP this too was my first time reading that follow-up FAQ.
It sounds like Google want to continue maintaining the Istio project under the guise of something called the Open Usage Commons.

The other two projects under that are Angular and Gerrit, two other Google products.

IBM's disappointment stems from the fact that they feel Istio is also their baby and that it was suppose to goto the CNCF one day, not Googles own umbrella foundation.

I think the same. Google for the most part want their names associated with these products rather than being something community driven.
To be safe one should disable JavaScript and most if not all third-party requests on .onion sites. Thats why TorBrowser always includes NoScript. Unfortunately in an unsafe default configuration that allows too much.

So overall, I guess this move isn't intended to protect the masses but provide more cover traffic mainly.
Seriously, this. Try searching for anything even remotely medical related. 100% garbage in every search engine.

In this context OnionShare (https://onionshare.org/) is an excellent program that even non-technical people can use to either share files or even complete static websites over Onion routing. The main advantage is you don't need to grub around with Nginx, Apache and the Tor daemon manually setting everything up.
Performance yes, there is always more power as long as the bank account is full, and even then it isn't enough when working at scale.

The amount of histories of porting code prove otherwise.

Note I am not pushing away dynamic languages, only those that don't have a JIT/AOT as part of their canonical implementation.

Common Lisp, Julia, JavaScript, PHP (7 and later) are all invited to the party.

Meanwhile maybe JRuby or PyPy will eventually get more community love, instead of being the black swans.

> Ubuntu is clearly good software made by Canonical

I can only speak for my own experience but if I had to choose between using Ubuntu for the rest of my life and losing a finger, I think I would lose a finger.

There is no worse operating system I have ever used. It is Linux made by people who never bothered to open a manpage, software engineered by people who think engineering is waste of time. It is basically the Robert McNamara of operating systems, I can just hear him now, "there is no such thing as planning or engineering, just crisis management". Funny thing is they probably think crisis management is too big an ask.

One of my biggest gripes with Windows is that many parts of it feels like it was created by people who never even tried it because it should be obvious to anybody who ever tried it that it is a horrible user experience.

Ubuntu is basically the dumpster fire version of this. It's like someone read about dumpster fires and thought "wow, that sounds nice, how can we make an operating system like that".
> It says that it's akin to a new software programming paradigm or language.

That's a great way of thinking about it.
It's worth trying to imagine what the programming experience would be like if writing a function amounted to simply defining input/output types, providing a collection of input/output pairs (i.e. train/test sets), and leaving the process of finding the solution / optimization to the "compiler".
This only makes sense as far as resource usage goes, Turing completeness has nothing to do with access to APIs which you really need to do anything interesting.

Brainfuck is turing complete but can’t call any APIs, you can very much predict that a Brainfuck program won’t be doing anything very exciting.
I didn’t look too deep into it, my understanding was that the source it uses to update itself has been taken offline. There are workarounds involving data massaging and a cron but honestly that’s a lot more work than typing “1000 chf to usd” into ddg and getting the converted amount. But if you know something I don’t, maybe you could share for everyone’s benefit?

> I had to stop reading after this. This is not how inflation works and it borders on the preposterous to surmise that CBs can monetize deficits without creating inflation because there is excess supply in one market.

I think the government doesn't have to run deficits, it can always tax the money back out of the economy. (The only problem is nobody likes that, for some reason. People seem to prefer inflation to taxation.)

It's actually more honest, because it better shows what actually happens. Government prints money, (hopefully) invests into places that benefit the society as a whole, and then taxes the excess money back from wherever they ended up, destroying them (by not spending them again).
Yeah, hashing in WASM seems to be fine in terms of speed, though 60x faster does still sound surprising to me. Hashes with 32 bit words (e.g. sha256) can be optimized fairly well in javascript due to the SMI optimization in engines like v8. I should play around with hashing more.

I was in particular benchmarking ECC, which is much harder to optimize in JS (and in general).

Code is here:

JS: https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcrypto/tree/master/lib/js

C: https://github.com/bcoin-org/libtorsion

To benchmark:

$ git clone https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcrypto
$ cd bcrypto
$ npm install
$ node bench/ec.js -f 'secp256k1 verify' -B js

$ git clone https://github.com/bcoin-org/libtorsion
$ cd libtorsion
$ cmake . && make
$ ./torsion_bench
$ make -f Makefile.wasi SDK=/path/to/wasi-sdk
$ ./scripts/run-wasi.sh torsion_bench.wasm ecdsa
Not sure if "ideal" is a good choice of word here. We dont know what's still coming. It surely has some flaws (many inherited from JS). There is stuff like ReasonML/Elm/PureScript that seems more ideal to me from a pure language (not eco sys, job/talent market, etc) perspective.

A while ago I tried getting the latest version of Gajim (XMPP client) to run with OMEMO (encryption plugin) on Trisquel. I worked through lots and lots of compilation issues for dependency libraries of Gnome and other stuff that was new to me, but after trying for something like 3 or 4 days, I lost motivation. I also did not want to use the version number-wise much older version of Gajim to be able to use it. Perhaps that was silly of me.

I did run the older version to try Gajim out and to see how one connects to servers and which servers to use and whatever. That worked actually pretty well. I only had to find an OMEMO supporting server in at least superficially trustworthy hands. I really likes the instant feeling of sending messages and being able to log into 2 accounts on different servers and sending myself messages.

I'll have to try it again at some point. I would really like to know a reliable long term server, run by people with a privacy mindset though.
Notes on splicing CRDT’s for structured hypertext
> There is no legitimate use for it in this context

Do concerns about being tracked between websites suddenly disappear at work? Is it no longer legitimate for an employee to log in to a personal account for non-work purposes via the corporate network on (for example) their lunch break? Etc, etc.

Also I'm a bit confused by your stance given the realities of encryption. Does your network strictly block all outbound traffic that it can't actively MITM? If not, a nefarious employee could proxy their criminal (Tor or other) traffic through an external machine that they controlled. In fact this would be the obvious thing to do as visiting an HTTPS (apparently) website on a personal device would seem much less likely to arouse suspicion.
Maybe, but I think it's an overblown term in these sort of questions. Being Turing-complete doesn't mean that it can do anything. It means that it is isomorphic to a Turing machine; in other words, it can emulate a Turing machine, which means it can compute anything a Turing machine can compute.

That's definitely not the same as "do anything." For instance, it doesn't mean it's suddenly granted access to APIs to communicate with the system/break out of a sandbox. I mean, I guess it's theoretically possible for it to create an entire simulated CPU (is it though? not sure...), but not in practice.

The more concerning thing is how strong your sandbox is.

Honestly speaking a lot of the list pointed out in the article is weird that way. For example, "Checks if function bodies that are implemented in the browser contain [native code] when stringified" - that's a very straightforward way to check if a particular feature is browser-supported or was polyfilled.
> how can we find a way to permit the "good" uses of Javascript while prohibiting all of the "bad"?

I always thought HTML could've been gradually extended with new elements for capturing and replacing UI techniques which Javascript is essential for, but that hasn't happened. Instead, HTML is stuck with what was envisioned in 2008 or earlier (coming from a hierarchical document structure for casual academic publishing), and everything else in the browser (CSS, Javascript) evolved to work around it. Today, we have CSS with it's absurd ninja powers to completely change and reinterpret the HTML DOM with a secondary document structure in the name of "semantic" HTML, locked to a 1990's idea of how a generic document should look like. It seems the evolution of HTML as a markup language suffered from being organizationally fossilized, after W3C ventured into an unrealistic XHTML2 moonshot, thus giving HTML language extensions a bad name, and the proponents of CSS believing their own "separation of concerns" story after the fact when it just started out as a hack to overcome HTML's limitations (it being in the hands of W3C and W3C focussing on a ten-year roll to replace HTML with XHTML and other XML vocabularies). HTML/SGML always had all the power you could want to define new vocabulary, even ways to define new elements in terms of fragments/combinations of existing ones for vocabulary evolution.

To be fair, though, during most of the web's existence, a visual language had to evolve as there simply was no blueprint available for how we'd use hypertext on a massive scale, especially with mobile devices. Unfortunately, the mechanisms HTML5 today has for vocabulary evolution (ie. custom elements and maybe template elements and web components) all require tons of Javascript as well.

FWIW, there's GNU's LibreJS initiative to block all but F/OSS or "trivial" JavaScript, but I don't believe it has had any impact (and it focuses solely on the licensing aspect).
Ok adding as another comment.

The situation is actually more complicated than that see [1]. Essentially it comes to book keeping, however after 2017 the operators had to pay into a government fund to ensure sufficient funds to decommissioning (currently this holds 24 billion euro). Estimated decommissioning cost for a nuclear power plant are 1.2 billion euro (there is some dispute about the numbers though). This number does not include wast storage.

You do need a certain amount of spending, but that's M*V, not V. More money means less of it needs to circulate to cover spending on food. (If amount spent on food is fixed.)

That doesn't change the reality of allocation though. Programmers in languages like C++ and Rust choose when and where to allocate memory, and if there's one thing we know about performant code, it's that we shouldn't be allocating and deallocating repeatedly. Nothing about lifetimes helps or hurts about this programming model. Lifetimes (Rust) and RAII (C++) are just semantic models to help reign in the cognitive load of memory allocation.

I don't think it's optimal. It already was an echo chamber back on Reddit, but a centralized site is probably even worse in that regard.
That's an excellent example but I'd point out that in any such scenario devices ought to be thoroughly locked down and run strictly audited environments. If properly configured you wouldn't be firing an employee for using Tor but instead for maliciously tampering with company hardware.
I worked a computer store back in the mid 2000s. We got an iMac in that had a busted CRT and the owner just wanted the data moved to a new machine and then gave us the old one to get rid of. I pulled it apart and installed Linux on the 233 Mhz PowerPC. It ran for years with just the power board and motherboard sitting open on my desk. I used it for a server and development environment through ssh. I finally turned it off and I recently pulled it out of the box and the PRAM battery had exploded and ruined the entire thing. Good memories though.
You’ve moved the goalposts. OP claims that it’s not inflationary. You’re claiming it’s inflationary but that it’s beneficial. I’m only taking issue with the former.

You’re putting the cart before the horse: price came first, then the product was discarded.

The risk that these potatoes might be dumped into the market pushed prices down. If you magically take this risk away, it doesn’t matter by which mechanism, that threat goes away and price responds.

If I’m another potato farmer and all of a sudden all those extra potatoes are teleported somewhere else, I will in all likelihood raise my prices.

Even the most progressive theorists would not debate this. It’s basic aggregate supply and demand.
It's more that if that is the primary/only thing you are testing, you can get people who ace that but are crap application & product developers/leaders.

That’s not the experience I have with AWS. They are really trying to help you get the most out of their platform - including costs.

I’m not saying their pricing is not confusing, but the account managers and sales engineers I’ve worked with always did a good job navigating us through it - and being honest when something can be achieved a lot cheaper.

Better have a customer optimize their usage, pay less, be happy, and stick with AWS than switching to a different platform.

I'd be hard pressed if a backend in Rust gives the same perf as Kotlin/F#. Especially if you write the Rust with an async stack you will likely come out significantly faster than the other options: small binaries, short startup time, less memory usage, more throughput, slightly shorter request cycles, ...

The only place that the langs you mention probably win is: learning curve (F# maybe not so much) a.k.a. getting language illiterate people up to speed, and compile times.
