The problem I had, when I tried to de-megacorp my e-mail, was with knowing whether the e-mails I sent got reliably delivered.

I set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC, used an IP not on any blacklists, and so on - everything guides told me I ought to do. Still, not only would my test messages often go to spam, I'm pretty sure I saw some vanish entirely, not even making it to the spam folder.

And this is a very insidious problem - did I e-mail X and they just didn't deign to reply? Or did my message never reach them?

You appear to be using the term access to fibre a bit loosely. The vast majority[0] of the UK only has access to a product called "fibre to the cabinet" (FTTC), which is a poor substitute for what would pass for a fibre connection in most countries.

For those not from the UK, FTTC is a product where they run fibre connections to the local cabinet - however from there it runs over the end users phone line using VDSL2. For historical reasons this line may be aluminium instead of copper, and is often long with lots of splits and joins. As you can expect, this can degrade performance a great deal, and there's basically nothing an end user can do to get this upgraded. For PR reasons, these connections are named "Superfast broadband" and the regulator notes that 95% of the population can get one. However in practice due to old and badly maintained phone lines, real speeds are often much lower than the "minimum 30Mbps" they claim.

0: As per https://www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/broadband-statistic... only 8% of the population has access to "real" fibre to their actual premises.
If you trust the EU to prevent ASML end up in chinese hands, then you're trusting too much.
I know I’m just repeating what a lot of other have said, but this is sort of missing how this works. To use SSH as an example:

What you’re describing is essentially using a fingerprint instead of a private key or password for logging into a server via ssh.

The way this works is more akin to using a private key to login via SSH, but that private key is protected by a fingerprint instead of a password.

Ultimately the security comes from not sharing your private key, rather than the mechanism used to protect that key.

> For us, the Spectrum was everything the Apple ][ was to you

I really doubt that. I had a Spectrum at home with the microdrives and the Sinclair printer (silver paper, remmber that?). I used Apple 2s at school and taught with them at summer camp. I loved both machines and learned both 6502 and Z80 machine code thans to them. We also had the gorgeous BBC Micros with the Tube coprocessor and disk drives.

The Spectrum was never going to be a business PC - just the keyboard tells you that. Not even the rather nice QL had a poper business keyboard.
What about Brave and Icemonkey?

You are welcome to develop your argument and point out where in MTProto 2 you find fault or why using standard crypto primitives isn't enough and what you'd like to see from MTProto 2 to secure it in your mind.

The gp comment literally just posted a link to a deprecated comment that painted MTProto 1 as (rightfully) insecure.

That was not thorough research and it attaches the FUD associated with an unused protocol to MTProto 2, which I'd again like to remind you and everyone, not a single security researcher or otherwise has found fault in.
I miss the state of development from that time.

I was developing multimedia CD content with software like Director and Authorware[1]. We had a project and when it was released the project was clearly done. Today projects don't finish because continuous integration is a never ending story.

I'm really surprised this has gone this far, it was ridiculous when it was first proposed and it's ridiculous now. Just require people to be explicit about what the burger/sausage/cheese-like thing is made of and that's all, surely?

I suspect the cultural situation around food in other EU states might present a different picture though. France clearly has some powerful forces feeling very strongly about this, but I do think MEPs should reject any argument that comes purely from the meat industry's commercial demands.
Lex triggers people for some reason, lol. I could speculate as to why but that's not my area of expertise. :)

For my part I really enjoyed both of your visits to the podcast. The first one really contextualized a lot of the work that I wholly take for granted every day and this just expanded on that. Lex should do an annual State of the Stack series and drag you back in for more :)
Indeed it is, but flash is a commodity, and if somebody IS still buying Intel NAND if the price is ok for them, and Intel will still have somewhat good money from that, then why not?

Intel can even stop investing further into flash R&D, and it will be years, and years before they will be outpriced, even with discount for their lower performance.
Planning project strategy to minimize risks
That's really nice. There are high-end products out there with redundant backplanes (dual or triple) and redundant PSUs (2 or more). To match that level of redundancy it seems you would need 4x Turing Pi, to be able to survive a simultaneous failure of 1x arbitrary PSU and failure of 1x arbitrary backplane (ie. the integrated RTL8370 GigE switch).

The 2x external GigE ports on the Turing Pi helps a lot, in that each cluster can connect simultaneously to 2 external GigE switches, in case one of those things fails.

Could be an interesting exercise to set up and get it all working, in particular K3s + dynamic routing might be a fun challenge.

I thought by now companies should've learned to have the legal departments or external lawyers consult the marketing/PR folks (or use their own good judgement) before sending out such stuff.

Plenty of cases here in Germany as well that created quite some backlash. I still remember e.g. the case of "Held Der Steine", a fantastic guy who's the most popular Lego Youtuber in Germany, where Lego thought it would be a great idea to send him a "Cease and Desist" letter because part of his logo vaguely resembled a Lego brick. He wasn't amused and with his enormous reach (millions of people watch his videos) he made sure a lot of people learned about this greedy behavior of the Lego company.

While Zig is an awesome project I feel a little bit the same. My two cents are that it is because Zig, as innovative as it is, has nothing that other languages couldn't copy or assimilate. With Rust it is a different story, because the ownership model cannot be plugged into other languages without changing them fundamentally. My prediction is similar to yours that Zig will be an important research project but not go mainstream. A counterargument is of course that Zig's closeness to C will make it win in conservative industries and it wouldn't be the first time a more incremental approach wins over the more innovative one. Also I have to stress that I only have a cursory knowledge of Zig so far. I hope I didn't do the language injustice and I'd like to hear other opinions about this.
That if anything would have made me more suspicious. Mozilla had and still has an awful track record of keeping projects alive.

Advice on getting published from someone who worked in publishing
It's much worse than that.

When you watch a video with text or small content, like a gaming video for example, these have menus and texts, it stops being readable when downgraded from 1080p to 720p (or worse). It's broken.

When you live with flatmates or family, you're getting crazy load time and erratic pauses now because of the contention.
There's not enough headroom to buffer ahead with the bandwidth use increasing 50% overnight. The video is dropping as soon as somebody else opens something, it's effectively broken.

The algorithm will see contention and downgrade the quality, only to upgrade it again a minute later when it sees a bit of headroom, only to fail again. There's a lesson here on network contention. Worse case is with 2 people browsing youtube, the 2 players are fighting each other for bandwidth.

That's right, my UK broadband in central Edinburgh gives me 6Mbps if im lucky. 1mbps upload.

I roam around in South east Asia, not the developed states such as Singapore.. In Vietnam I get 60mbps, 16Mbps upload at home for 15 USD per month. I go to coffee shops they are all equipped with 40 to 100Mbps.
Malaysia offered 300Mbps for $50 per month. 5 years ago.

And all plans are truely unlimited.

You need to warm up the brain for that one. I'm sure it's different if you spend a lot of time thinking about the topics they discussed, but I don't, and it felt like my brain was getting tazed.

Python's Eval Is Dangerous
It might be the timing that matters. The very needs for safe and friendly system programming arose---or rather became clear---around 2010, when both Rust (0.1) and Go appeared. Having appeared 5 years later, Zig can be seen as a follower (a very great one, of course) and may no longer give much excitement as Rust did.
NZ is a great country with wonderful people. But I wonder about the wisdom of apocalypse-proof property on an island that is prone to earthquakes. I have seen how far the waterfront receded in the 1931 Napier earthquake. [1] Christchurch has still not fully recovered from the 2010 earthquake. When you think of "geological" or "tectonic" shifts in the landscape, we are not used to thinking in the order of decades.

It forces uber to employ them and pay them minimum wage and minimum benefits for their time. When you do that you start caring about how much money they make during the hours they work, meaning that Uber is now responsible to ensure their hours are spent productively instead of the worker deciding that himself. At this point there is no difference between Uber and a traditional Taxi company, since that is how Taxis operators. Uber can't survive as a traditional Taxi company since the laws and regulations around Taxis and employments are so different all over the world and they don't have the inhouse expertise to compete with local Taxi companies under those circumstances.

So the end result of AB5 is that Uber and Lift will exit California or become traditional taxi companies there.
Either way California taxi state will go back to where it was before Uber and Lyft entered the market.

I agree that an emphasis on usability is required, and that is why Zoom now rules. My elderly relatives use Zoom exclusively, partly because that is what they are invited to use for the 80th birthday celebrations that seem to happen every week. But also because they don't have smart phones; they are somewhat comfortable with a desktop computer, but smart phones are just unusable due to lack of dexterity, poorer eyesight and worse user interfaces. I can't see a mobile-only solution winning family use cases. Maybe it will do better with business.
First Look: New York’s Digital Subway Map Comes Alive Today
There's nothing empirical about it, it's just that journalists are not bound to mention the Polish contribution when discussing Enigma, just as they don't mention many other nuances and wrinkles in the story. The histories (many written by British historians) most certainly do mention it, so your observation is more like "journalists paint with a broader brush than historians and miss out much of the detail." Well, who knew?

> has nothing that other languages couldn't copy or assimilate.

You cannot "copy" simplicity into a complex language. (Not trying to start a discussions about whether or not Rust is complicated.)
I enjoy Rust and have been writing it for quite some time. However, I feel like server side languages still have a long way to go. Client-side languages in comparison have been only growing better (one could make a lot of negative points about TypeScript and node in general, but the ecosystem is a joy to work with). I feel like this is because people have accepted C and C++ with their respective pain points for close to 50 years now, because there really were no viable contenders. I like how this is starting to change.

I still feel Rust, Nim and Zig kind of get the right ideas, but they are not there just yet. I like rust with it's expliciteness and correctness, but I wish some stricter features were opt-in. I do not feel that the borrow checker is the ultimate solution to safety problems. Its strictness can make working with Rust a pain. As the author demonstrates, sometimes you know what you want to do and how to write it in other languages, but it can take quite a while to get it down in such a way that the rust compiler will accept it.

I think enabling a language to be garbage collected in general, while making a borrow checker opt in for special, time critical functions is the best of both worlds. I also think Rust may focus a bit too much on the terseness of its syntax. This can make modern Rust hard to read because there are so many special tokens.
Considering the "pay for status and get everything else for free" strategy, it's understandable why Discord was promoting itself as a gamer-only platform for so long.

In a professional or educational setting, custom emojis and cool-looking animations aren't that important. You just want a tool that does the job and does it well. If it does it for free, even better.

If you look at it from that perspective, companies and educational institutions were a problem for Discord. They were using the service same as everyone else, while not bringing much revenue. This was especially true for school groups, which consisted mostly of kids that didn't have credit cards.

The marketing move to appeal only to gamers, making the service unattractive for others, may have been deliberate after all.

Nowadays, Discord has enough features to justify paying for, even if you don't care about status, so the strategy has changed.

London is actually one of the bad areas for broadband. Due to the density its not been deemed worthwhile to roll out fibre to home at all and fibre to the curb is often held up by a bunch of factors including there being no room in the local telecoms office for the hardware and difficulties placing the boxes on the street to contain the replacement dslams alongside the other road works. Many rollouts have been held up for many years due to very hard logistics problems.

It has proven much easier to roll out fibre into villages and smaller towns where DSL is no where near as obvious as the solution and there is room to place the equipment easily.

What irks me more than anything is the fact that builders are making big blocks of flats and running normal copper cabling into them. Ones that opened just 5 years ago genuinely had ADSL back to the local telecoms office and only recently got upgraded to DSLAMS in their basements to fibre. It really doesn't save a lot of money to put copper in instead of fibre at this point and to not have planned at the very least VDSL is just quite ridiculous. These types of builds have just made local issues with broadband that much worse.
I think Zig's biggest advantage is that it's just C without the warts, or footguns as is said in the Zig world. The comptime feature is probably the most exciting thing I've seen in a while. I've looked at Rust and feel it's more of a competitor to C++, Java and C#. Whereas Zig is C done right.

It's interesting, I split my childhood between Hungary and South Africa, and pretty much along the timeline of the 486. During the late 80s in Hungary, the Amiga certainly was a big thing, even in schools. I suspect it was due to the price; even an Amiga was considered super expensive, and if you ran into a PC it was either at your parents' work or similar, and it would have been a 286 or worse.

Although I suppose the 486 came out in '89, it was rare to see it in the schools that I went to, or in my friends' homes. Similarly with VGA and SVGA (and decent sound cards!), it took several years to become affordable and mainstream. But when they did, and when Pentiums started coming out, it was pretty much the death knell for the Amiga. I recall somberly looking at benchmarks of 486s, and comparing it to our pride and joy, a 68030-upgraded A1200, and realising that it was a losing game.

So you are absolutely right, though I think the timeline is probably a bit shifted depending on the country / economic conditions.
