With a friend we started having those, and we've been thinking about streaming them, but they always end up being quite chaotic. It'd be very interesting to figure out how to make them fluid enough and yet easy to follow for more watchers.

We both do some pre reading of the topic, and "pair program" through it, changing some bits and running the code to see if the current mental model still holds. The person who drives has to be very verbose explaining what he's doing ("Let's go to this function definition, ok, we see this struct here, let's leave a mark for later and visit that struct"), because otherwise, the one watching is like "wtf, are we looking at now".

We're currently going over emacs' native compiler branch and it's been lots of fun so far. The conversational interaction of Lisps makes those explorations very lively.

I'd be interested in joining, of course :)
Also I see a big conflict in wanting relational data and a fast/secure replication protocol.

I agree. More of a reason to make China accountable.
As long as they don't quote it verbatim they are fine. You may write a blog post about what you learned in the class… The issue here is the scale at which they do it.

I don't have MasterClass so cannot confirm but it seems that at least parts of it are straight up parody e.g. How to Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs/step 13: Train as a chef in France
Nah. On Reddit they'd have gone for the full '$68,34 too much'. You get a more subtle class of snark on HN.
Exactly. My understanding is that ByteDance has tried to maintain some distance with the Chinese government in the past, but this pressure from the US essentially forces it to reverse course.

It's antithetical to the US's purported objective of promoting a more liberalized market economy in China (though I suppose that was never something this administration really cared about).

I'm now going to other sources whenever I need anything I would normally get from Amazon.

If it's buying retail products, I look at Etsy or Walmart, or smaller sources if possible.

If it's digital infrastructure, I opt for Digital Ocean most often.

I'm increasingly uncomfortable with everything about Amazon and its subsidiaries.
I find most strongly typed functional languages get too hung up on the structure of the rows. E.g. what happens to SELECT user_name, price FROM orders JOIN users ON user_id? You might end up with something like this:

join users orders (\user -> user.user_id) (\order -> order.id)
|> map (\(user,order) -> user.user_name, order.price)

But that will quickly get messy if you have multiple tables, and you have to explicitly say how to order joins (which you don’t do in sql), and something which just analyses the function calls (ie can’t look inside the lambdas) can’t really know that it only needs to look at a few columns of the tables. So maybe instead you need special values to represent the columns of your tables but then how can you represent the necessary renaming when you join one table multiple times? And how will you describe computations with those fields?

Ultimately I think this is a problem largely involving bindings and sets of things and that these are difficult (if not impossible) to move to the type level while providing a nice api. So you could either get a risky api that can throw runtime errors for queries that could never be valid or you get issues like the ones I described above.

It's Windows-only because it's using the IE rendering engine made by Microsoft that comes built-in to Windows itself.

The difference with a new lightweight browser like NetSurf is that they actually have their own rendering engine crammed into their 12MB EXE (and it's cross-platform).
IME this is situational and when people make a point of increasing the degree of distinction like this it's either because the particular situation demands more nuance, or they're doing it as a competetive excercise to show they can see more categories. The level of granularity should be appropriate for the situation (and it's more important that whatever categories you end up choosing are actually correct) and I think most people understand that.

In general distinctions between people like this smell off to me, especially when they present one category as better and allow the reader to pick.
Two years ago randomly I gave about 100 bucks to an old guy runnig a restraunt towards fixing the blown off roof of his log cabbin next door. I visited again recently and that act had inspired the community to start a crowdfunding project, they had fixed up the cabin, started building a campground and a dog run. I went on a river climbing excursion with some people from my region. One of them after made a comic book with a character heavily inspired by my image. Just going about our lives even pursuing individualistic goals, we never know how we are influencing the people around us.
Blender already has a solid and enthousiastic user base before the 2.7 UI update.

Blender was also the forerunner in having a kickstarter-like scheme to raise enough money to make it opensource.

There's an interesting interview between Ton Roosendaal and Blender Guru about the history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJEWOTZnFeg

The Blender guys were also a lot less hostile towards people trying to make improvements to stuff like UX.

One of the things that GIMP also desperately needs is a name change, while Blender is an odd choice it at least doesn't conjur up sexual images.

The crazy thing is, I'd actually support real action on China. The CCP are a problem I feel we have been ignoring for too long.

When setting up MFA for a Microsoft Azure AD account, they use a 9 digit code as the secret, which you can either enter manually or by scanning a QR code. My gut feeling is that 1 billion possibilities is not that hard to brute-force.

I don't know if that is standard or if other services use longer secrets.

It would be quite an art to generate a legible post that contains both ASCII art and a consistent amount of entropy without containing too much entropy or being too compressible.

And since posting it adds it to the compression dictionary, it's likely to only going to work some time before it gets compressed better.

You'd be fighting yourself more than the captcha. Plus an attacker would now have to, in order to figure out if a post will work or not, attempt to compress the post over X number of compression algorithms (plus of course the unknown text corpus of the long-term compressor) as well as estimate entropy via Y algorithms. You'll be wasting a lot of CPU on these tasks.

Meanwhile, humans have no issue because while english does compress somewhat, when we express unique ideas it's less compressible then when we do not.

Choosing not to do business with the Carnegie Steel of online shopping just isn't going to change Amazon's market position. There will never be enough people boycotting Amazon due to its inhuman treatment of its workers to offset the value Amazon receives from doing so.

The only solution that I think has a chance of working is public policy, which seems increasingly less likely as political parties are ever further beholden to the interests of their corporate benefactors. It's a bleak outlook, but as the allusion to Carnegie Steel suggests, it isn't the first time the US has found itself in this position. In fact, the parallels between the political economy of the early 20th century and today seem increasingly more aligned.

I used OpenBSD in production at my previous job (an ISP), in a few different roles. Lots of ISPs use OpenBSD for various purposes.

HSMs from nCipher used to run on top of (a slightly modified, IIRC) OpenBSD. Just as JunOS (the OS on (some) Juniper network devices) runs on FreeBSD, I'm sure there are many other commercial products built on OpenBSD as well -- we just don't hear about them very much.

Looking at the bottom of the page, this is part of some overall large marketing campaign. A lot of the other stuff is also labelled "theft" : I'm not totally sure it is; the point of the project appears to be to commit almost-IP theft, but in most cases they seem to go right up to the line but do not cross it. (E.g. shirts with corporate logos / brands cut up and barely recognizable, that kind of thing).

There's an app, there's a FOMO "drop" list, there's some larger thing at play here. Can't tell if it's something authentic / art-related, or if someone is just trying to build another brand.

Edit: indeed, this is some new brand / business: "WHO WE ARE MSCHF Product Studio is an internet company. We operate online store(s), create content, communicate with our fans and customers through texts, email and social channel(s), and occasionally promote our products and services both online and offline"

MSCHF (presumably 'mischief') is just another edgy shopify stunt.
Just my 2 cents.
I manage the IT for a doctor's office and the software they use from a medium size company in Germany has a Word / Excel export that looks like this:

1. Software tries to open Excel / Word (it actually failed to open Excel on a machine, but when I opened it manually, the export continued)

2. It copies a row in the software

3. It pastes the row into Word / Excel

4. If more data is available, go back to 2.

This is for the export of a data integrity check report in that software suite. It takes multiple minutes to export a report and you can watch live how the copy / paste happens. I was amazed that somebody has the balls to sell this and gets away with it.
> When a pandemic rolls around, all elective care gets shut down, so hospitals lose money despite being needed more than ever.

Sort of off-topic, but I'm increasingly starting to believe that this kind of complexity in business models should be disallowed in general. I mean in particular the cases of selling something with a high margin in order to fund something else that's sold at or below costs. Be it related items ("razor and blades model") or unrelated (elective vs. non-elective care).

My usual reason is that it's anti-competitive and allocates incentives in the exactly wrong way, leading to ridiculous waste (that's how we get throwaway printers with expensive cartridges), but healthcare example points to another problem: stability. A critical system whose functionality is strongly subsidized by "extra offerings" is a system that fails when those extras aren't being bought for some reason.

In engineering, simplicity is desirable. So should it be in business. After all, transparent pricing is important for proper functioning of free markets, and such schemes confuse the pricing.

ivanilves, thank you for writing this up and sharing the code & the video of the end result, it is a fun project!

As a thought experiment I've had a play to see what the state machine logic might look like if we try to replace the bool state variables with a set of explicit finite states, and to push the state transition logic into a pure function. Results are here: https://gist.github.com/fcostin/851c1b4d1e3cb75ba972408151f1...

It is more verbose, but one advantage of structuring it like this (that i've only partially succeeded at) is that state transitions only happen at most once per each call to advance_state. Might make it easier to read through and follow the logic. It also makes the state transition logic easy to unit test, since it is pure-functional instead of being mixed together with sensing and doing actions (unsure how much of a concern or possibility unit testing is with ino files, I've never done any arduino dev myself).

Not sure if this is anything like what SomeoneFromCA was thinking.

TikTok is awful company which clearly panders to Chinese government, deletes anti-CCP content, and quite probably collects private data and promotes content in its own political interests.

However.

The whole world sees "The West" in general, and US in particular, as a place, where The Rule Of Law, and in general, some respect for the Rules, even for adversaries, is more important than in other places. That's why Russian oligarchs sue each other in London's courts. That's why millions of the most educated, the most creative, the most productive people immigrate to US and other capitalist countries from former Soviet block and not the other way around. Of course, US is not paradise, and everybody how ugly and criminal can it be sometimes; but still, compared to what other parts of the world look like, it's still a City upon a hill. Yes, US is a corrupt, racist country with a lot of deep internal problems, and yet it is still the best champion for democratic values we've got on the whole planet. (Some smaller European countries can have a better record, but they're just not significant enough to have a real influence).

And despite how awful TikTok is, and how I would applaud their demise, these executive orders, which directly violate these core ideals of western civilisation, damage not only US, but these ideals itself in the long run. I'm still amazed that a private company can sue the government and have a real hope at winning — if you're American, you may not realise how precious that possibility even is. And I really hope it does win.
> The evil CAP theorem enters the town here. Consumers want things to work fast, it doesn't fit the decentralized approach.

I think we have to distinguish 'decentralized' from 'distributed' in this case. In a decentralized approach we reduce (by many orders of magnitude) the size of data we're dealing with. Locally installed/browser-based applications only have to deal with data that's created by, or directed at that user (and locally stored).

Add: For a number of applications, hard consistency guarantees are overkill. You could totally live with eventual consistency (some don't even need that). In fact, other than e-com and banking I can't think of any of my daily-use apps needing such guarantees. And indeed, decentralized data storage is a bad fit for banking and commerce.
