Checked the FAQ.

Downside: It doesn't support Tor and they don't seem to have any plan for that. So it's trusted-friends-only, IPs are always visible. Which is pointless for me, as a person trying to build healthy online friendships from behind Tor.

Upside: I was afraid it's a reaction to Parler being deplatformed. And then I thought maybe it was a side-project of Urbit. But looking at the Values page: "No nazis, no TERFs, no alt-right—or anyone friendly with them"

So that's cool.
I might be missing something, but what makes this "interplanetary"? The IP in IPDR appears to stand for IPFS.

There aren't really alternatives to Android/iOS. But I would say they need regulation too.

Payment is critical infrastructure. It's crazy that most of the world is subject to this duopoly.
Yes, I should have clarified that.
> There are two phases during a deglaciation and CO2 lags in the first one and leads in the second one.

This is evidence that CO2 is not causative of warming. You can wrap this in whatever additional logic you like, but nobody's buying it.

In any case, if there was an increasing feedback loop, then we'd see that with the #1 greenhouse gas, water. We're not, so we're not in a feedback loop.
I tried to use nixOS as a desktop system.

Using a special command (nix-shell) whenever I needed to do development things (e.g. Rust builds) was not my idea of fun.

Some other things, like overriding GDM's monitors.xml file, were pretty much impossible to do.

Maybe it's better if you just use it as a base for servers / containers.

Yes. If Taiwan decides to stop being the ROC and instead wants to be the Republic of Taiwan, that would be considered a huge escalation by the PRC. Right now, they are just two sides of a civil war, which the PRC can accept, but succession would be viewed way different.

Luckily, Taiwan can just continue with the status quo and the PRC will probably not invade it, especially when the Americans are hanging out in the Ryukyus so close by to the island.
It used to be true that companies could be dickish to you, but now thanks to the 13th amendment (and the courts interpretation thereof), there are specific ways that they cannot be dickish to you. Either way you are right that it's not related to the 1st amendment though.
I'm convinced that Nietzsche is only taken seriously today because of his mustache. Just look at a picture of him without it:

Facebook cannot know it, since it is another phone no. not used anywhere else. The point of using another SIM card in Android VM is that Whatsapp doesn't have access to your Facebook profile, your web activity, your real phone no., real location, MAC address of your primary smartphone etc. Meanwhile you can use Signal/Telegram/iMessage to chat with your Whatsapp contacts.

Dude.

No one's claiming that the planet hasn't seen worse. It's been worse. It's been freezing cold for hundreds of millions of years. It's been blazing hot for hundreds of millions of years. No one is claiming that this is either new or dangerous for the planet. It's neither of that.

It is however potentially fatal for our global civilization. Since the early 70ies, the climate models have been pretty spot on. Especially before climate change denialism (to protect profit margins) turned climate sciences into a hot potato, mainstream predictions have been pretty good.

Now, its not that a few degrees warmer temperature is going to kill people. At least not many. But with rising temperatures, people will start doing what they've been doing since the dawn of time when things got uncomfortable in one place; they start moving and migrating. And do you know what no country with static borders is good at dealing with? Moving populations and migrations.

That always causes chaos and turmoil.

Then there's the trouble with water; as soon as the weather patterns start changing because of anthropogenic climate change, we'll have conflicts about water. In some parts of the world this has already started. China is currently doing a lot of projects with "its" streams and is redirecting a lot of water. Much to the chagrin of it's southern neighbors.

Another source of troubles.

And then, finally, is our flailing ecosystem which has been under massive attack for the last 250 years and is -- slowly but surely -- crumbling under the weight of a sheer 8 billion people wanton for food and shelter. Not for nothing we've lost almost 60% of insects in the last 50 years and almost half of the animal populations; impending ecosystem collapse.

Fun times ahead!

No, it’s a rant with little to no factual support and an entire lack of perspective.

Again, there is no evidence any Big Sur UI changes were to support touch screens. Bigger button areas make computers easier to use, just as bigger tap areas make mobile devices easier to use.

> Anyone who has an issue with this must also take issue with the others.

Yeah .... no. For a variety of reasons. But for one, it's impossible to do business online if you're not in the good graces of major payment providers (assuming you want to get paid). It might be hard(er) to advertise your business if Twitter bans you, but that's in no way comparable to how essential Visa/MC are to any business.

Providers of critical infrastructure (payments, search, appstores, probably a few other things), when they're big enough to be a monopoly/duopoly, could really use more oversight. If you piss off Google/Apple, your business can be ruined, and you'll have virtually no recourse -- as evidenced by the frequent "google/apple killed my app" threads on HN.
A lodge cast iron pan will last forever and isn't that expensive. And maintenance isn't terribly hard. Just rub down with oil after using (I use plain canola) and keep it dry. Serious eats has a lot of information on this. Modern soaps make the whole thing much easier.

For some people Teflon isn't an option. Bird owners for example can't use pans with PTFE coatings, cooking with them releases a compound that is toxic to parrots.
I taught myself software development at age of 12 and got a high paid job coming from a poor background at 18, so I consider myself successful since then. Although I had as many failures as I can count, I consider myself successful since the beginning.
I approve.

I've commented so much about this in the past I'll just say this: I think the conception of social media as lofty forums for society to wrestle with serious issues is horse crap. Either I'm some genius (I'm not), or what you see online is what you get: 99% garbage.

The way people discuss online censorship is like that scene from Star Wars 'I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.'

Facebook Twitter et al are just companies, and companies come and go. They are a source of amusement, to be sure, but, at their most serious, they spread more darkness than light. Sci-hub is more likely to contribute to a cure for cancer, or heart disease. If Instagram called it quits tomorrow, it would no more detriment the life of the average person than if a restaurant or a disco they liked went out of business.

In short: these social media websites, as designed, are just bad at, for lack of a better phrase, 'enlightenment stuff'. Millions of people use them (sure, someone pooped out a good physics paper on 4chan, even) but they mainly produce memes and self-promotional nonsense. Not worth ruining liberal democracy, and social harmony over.
I didn't say it was high risk, I said it was a safe withdrawal rate to plan for. I don't think market conditions allow for a 5% rate anymore, which used to be the recommended level.

Also you've ignored everything else I said just to harp on one thing - which is rude considering the time I took to reply to you.
I was just about to reply the same. I own a handful of Samsung T5 and T7 SSD drives (the new T7 being twice as fast, but also more expensive) and they are great. 1-2TB is sufficient as the internal HD for me (aka make no representation of other’s needs) and everything else goes on my NAS or when remote a SSD HD like the T5/T7. When I need extreme performance (aka video editing usually), I’ve got a Samsung X5 which uses TB3 and NVMe to get nearly 3GB/s speeds. If they weren’t so expensive, I’d use only the X5s, but instead have a mix of T5/T7/X5 for various purposes.
What point am I missing exactly? I don't understand how that sentence is apropos.

Sure, fact-checking has never been so "fast or efficient"... But it clearly is still not yet fast or efficient, or perhaps promoted, enough.

But even that aside, I don't understand what's the point I apparently missed. I can only think that the implication is that fact checking already is as good as it'll ever be and, even assuming that that was true (it isn't), then we should just give up on free speech and resign ourselves to censorship? Well, I didn't "miss" that point, I just don't agree.
A defining feature of this era is that language doesn’t matter, starting with "fake news" in the summer of 2016. Riot/protest, fascist, coup - these terms and more have been co-opted and reflected back at the other side. Same words, different meaning in the opposing context.
I've wondered this for some time too, and I think the issue is culture. Ask anyone who's moved continents (or even say from somewhere like Manhattan to New Mexico) and they'll probably tell you there's a culture shock that requires adjustment, even sometimes in the little things. Everything from how the banks operate, what days and times grocery stores are open, and how to get around with what transport all the way to bigger things like ease of socialising with locals or a new language (not to mention nearby family help/responsibility).

In areas with easy migration I think there's less of a cultural shift that a person has to go through in order to make it work. That's why it works within cities and states/provinces, and Europe and India could fall into this as well. Even when it is legally and logistically possible, how many people actually do make the move from NY to New Mexico or how many French decide to work somewhere like Germany?
Probably a DB2 dba.. to them all other platforms may as well have been made by seagulls.
If it's this good according to folks already, I cant wait to see what gen2 looks like. Not a big apple fan but I'll be closely looking at the next generation of these in a year or so.
I think it's a blatant free speech violation. As long as Big Tech have monopolistic power they would serve as tools of political censorship.

so why engage the platform at all? seems like the courts could easily be tasked with dealing with this.
There are more languages that have standards, sure, but the languages you mention, at this point, and in general, are mostly relegated to historical maintenance and maybe some very specific niches. To me personally, a “mature” language that’s not really being used isn’t the goal. And if developers truly believed standardization was valuable, you’d expect this property to give them a significant leg up against the sorts of languages like Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, TypeScript, etc.

That being said, I do think, considering it longer, there are languages that I am missing, like SQL, and ones that have a spec, even if it’s not under an ECMA/ISO process, like Java and Go, that I was forgetting.

I still think that using this as a necessary condition for “maturity” is misguided.
The executive and then the courts, same people who decide what every law means.

As a counter-anecdote, I was pretty sure that the Access Hollywood tape would lead to Trump being dropped by Republicans. Instead, bragging about sexual assault somehow became "locker room talk" and the story had little impact. Since then, for each new story, I've been waiting to see whether there is a corresponding drop in his popularity among Republicans before ever concluding that there is a moral line that won't be justified.
If any of software relies on different versions, yes. It beats not being able to use something because you can only have one version of a library shared.
As an optional fun fact, from my Arch system:

- libcurl is 615,616 bytes

- curl itself is another 192,480 bytes

I have issues with the combining of what to me are entirely different categories of things in the sort of "critique" that "duct tape" programming supposedly represents.

Fine, COM and COBRA are baroque and complex and one can make the case that they merely make "simpler" things that can be done in other, more duct-tape-y ways. I'm fine with dismissing this sort of overgrown, overcooked-before-anyone-even-ate-it API/framework in favor of simpler approaches.

But ... just because Netscape didn't need threads in 1995 doesn't mean that nobody needs threads. And by threads, I'm not talking about "concurrency" in the way that is in vogue today in the context of Rust/Go/JS. Sometimes, you do actually need threads, and you just have to grapple with having multiple execution streams running simultaneously, with everything that implies.

That's just picking out the most prominent example from TFA, but there are other floating around too. Failure to properly identify "baroque over-designed nonsense" from "complex, hard to use but necessary stuff" is a common failure, and an important one to try to avoid.

Also, the "next and previous points xor'ed into a DWORD" hack mentioned at the end? This isn't duct tape programming. It's absurdly context-dependent premature optimization, useful only in insanely memory-constrained environments, and not likely useful in almost any of the scenarios that most programmers (especially duct-tapers) find themselves working.

Also, real programmers don't say DWORD.
Are you implying abuse, or just "kinky shit"?
Technically you’re correct, your comment just begs the question: if it’s so easy to fix why hasn’t it been done?

The answer is probably because to make things like sleep on lid close work, you’re probably going to need to know more about the hardware than manufacturers are going to make public.

I think the “deeper problem” is thinking that Californians and Iowans share anything in common at all. Or the idea that 300 million people can be effectively governed by a democracy when they have vastly different goals and values.

In my ideal world, the states could just peacefully break up into a looser group of nation states, with a shared military against outside threats. We’d invert the tax pyramid where the city and county get the most taxes, and the federal and state governments get the least. If we could have a non violent transition away from the existence of an unimaginably massive federal government.

I doubt that’s what will happen. There’s simply too many people employed by the government for it to contract peacefully. I fear for the future, and think that arresting and throwing the book at people at the Capitol is just going to increase the number of scary things happening.
Feels like people would rather see the pretty girl. That's just giving people what they want.

Revolution as a branding exercise: Doing It For The ’Gram
"But if the stardom is the reward, what of their revolution? Don’t they have work to do, a vote to stop? For many in the mob that showed up in DC, the posing is the work. They have been so influenced by experiencing the world on social media that when they go out into physical space they seemingly think foremost of this, a revolution as a branding exercise — the photos of the QAnon Shaman, the photos of the vaping rioter, the photos of the man with his feet on Pelosi’s desk, the ricochet in the far-right internet as proof of victory. Yes, there is no power to be found in simply standing at the dais of the Senate. It is meaningless. It draws its power from the symbolism it conjures: Interrupt the vote to own the libs."

My wife has a 2012 MBP, which is usable because I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and added an SSD.

I had limited experience and use of macOS, but didn't like it much.

I bought the Air last month under duress, because I was going to a place that's 10°C warmer than my home, and my laptop's GPU passes the idle quiet threshold. I have tinnitus, so the laptop fan noise becomes unbearable.

I'm enjoying using the Mac, I mainly develop in Rust, so the experience has been mostly good. I've had a few hard crashes of other software that restarted the machine, that's fine though.

I still mainly remote into my beefy Windows desktop in the other room, but I haven't needed to turn on my work laptop as Microsoft also updated Office to work on Arm64.

I didn't know about Parallels, I'll try it out, as sometimes I can't remote into my desktop conveniently.
Yeah good question. Sibling comments to this one explain it well, but basically AWS managed services come at a premium price over some equivalent running in just EC2. (Some services in fact do charge you for EC2 time + the service + storage etc.)

"Managed" usually means "pay us more in exchange for less work on your part". This is usually pitched as a way to reduce admin/infrastructure/devops type staff and the overhead that goes along with having those people on the payroll.

It's annoying when news websites report on research that isn't reviewed. It's been happening at an increasing rate over the last few years because these news websites are so hungry for advertising revenue. It undermines the public's trust in science. It threatens our ability to do research openly and inclusively.
Depends on what server implementation you're going to go for.

Synapse is the reference implementation currently, but also the most resource hungry. For 100k users I would be looking at 24gb RAM and 256GB+ storage space. Along with multiple cores.

If you don't need as much features, then you can try Dendrite which can have 5x to 10x less resource usage than Synapse.
I think we’ll be on Java 20 at least and IntelliJ will have some nice new shortcuts.

React will get even more over engineered no developer left on the planet will understand any exiting code. The web will then be in a permanent state from 2040 onwards with no code changes possible for fear of introducing a breaking change.

Rust will first be used in a production app in 2028 and people will think it’s okay.

People will continually switch back and forth between functional programming and object oriented programming as their favourite paradigm for years to come. Design patterns will become popular again, but then become unpopular. Then popular.

DHH will claim that programming is dead, that TDD is alive again, that computers are dead, and that Basecamp is having a sleep but not quite dead. Developers will be divided on this.

Someone will use the abstract factory design pattern in 2026 but then refactor it back the next day after some negative feedback on the PR.
> weather industry to get ad clicks/revenue that it seems that they make speculative events seem more likely and more dramatic.

Which is sad, because there shouldn't even be a "weather industry". NOAA / National Weather Service gives away a free weather report to every American for nearly every place in the entire US. There shouldn't be a reliable way to "overhype" weather.
I wish we could narrow down why some have this experience and others don’t. I’ve connected 8 external monitors (all at once) to three different 16” MBP and still couldn’t produce a similar issue as some have with just one.
