But here’s the thing: the domain name system is designed to protect you against this, and it looks like Sedo bypassed those protections, approximately selling something that they had no right to sell. I’m pretty sure that if this happened on most registries, they could appeal to the TLD domain authority, win, and have it transferred back, and that Sedo might possibly face real repercussions. It’s possible that .to policies lack these protections. Bad policies are common on smaller ccTLDs.

Jamie Pine is saying that the domain went straight from resolving to their site, to resolving to OnlyFans. On mainstream TLDs and registrars that’s not how it works at all: at some point between expiration time and a week later, the domain will switch from your name servers to some belonging to the registrar which will direct HTTP and hopefully HTTPS requests to some kind of “this domain has expired” page, where it will remain for another ~30–60 days before another few days in the Pending Delete status, before finally being dropped. That way, if renewal fails and you don’t receive the emails, you will still notice it if you use the domain at all at any time in at least a month—emails will bounce, the website will be broken, &c. But what happened here sounds like that Sedo abused their position as an aftermarket domain seller to bypass that process and sell the domain name with none of this DNS-based notice at all. It could also be the .to registry that has wacky rules that led to this (in whole or in part), but the strong vibe I’m getting is that Sedo is culpable here, having actively worked against one of their paying customers because they thought someone else might pay them more. I’m not certain whether they’re allowed to do that or not on mainstream TLDs, but the concept of domain tasting was a slightly similar concept (the registrar acting in its own interests rather than their customers’) and that got slapped down pretty hard. If all occurred as claimed here, Sedo has acted extremely shadily.
Officers at passport control aren't trained health officials. It can be hard for them to make sense of certificates and understand what vaccinations are valid and which aren't, or which no longer are. That is why governments want to present an app where trained officials at the health ministry have already decided if the person is safe for travel or not, and just show border control officers a green check mark or no.
It might sound as a spoiler, but the slogan of a well know brand it should be motivating: "Keep walking!".

Alameda county got to that percentage over the course of a year, Tesla did it in the period between May and December. January was one of the worst months for cases and you're counting it for the county but not for Tesla. It's not a meaningful comparison.

> Code converted from C to Rust seems much more voluminous.

I haven't seen that in practice. A good point of reference are implementations of things like ruby, python, or the erlang vm in rust compared to the C alternatives. This might be because Rust is also more expressive (probably by borrowing certain syntax/semantics from ocaml/haskell), though the borrow checker does add back some verbosity.
He is not a celebrity. He is an president working hard for us to get a historic crisis under control.
I agree. As a casual observer of these things, you read about ‘dark matter’ and come away with the impression that it’s, you know, matter. But it’s really just a bookmark, a placeholder for “our calculations are wrong, so we’re going to make something up.”

It’s basically the physicist version of Kevin Malone’s “A mistake plus keleven gets you home by seven."
> So, no - giving him something to read would not be accepted as patronising, he would gladly accept. The alternative is long lectures from me and I don't think I am so well prepared or structured.

I'm skeptical that either of the solutions you've settled on are the right ones - both, for me feel a bit broadcast mode. When I read your post I worry about the level of trust and psychological safety between you both, so thats what I'd be working on. I think you'd be better served having open two-way chats about work; sharing fears, hopes and dreams as a start.

I get its not always neat determining how things start - as others have said there are a few smells there. To be blunt - its unclear to me if the other person in the relationship will 100% see it the same way as you do in the partner vs co-founder thing. You think there is a problem with terminology, but think he's got the same definition of co-founder as you? I'm skeptical - but only you can truly appraise what type of relationship you have and if the distinction really matters to you.
While I'm sure that was a good faith suggestion...

How bout we try something different? Like help the world improve its maternal mortality to rate to 2 every 100k people. That seems like the current worldwide floor. If you don't want to help the world, how bout just your own country? I'm not sure where you are headquartered, but here in the US we have a tenfold higher mortality rate.

Perhaps I was keying of the wrong thing. I think you’re 100% right.
Driving school wasn’t required, though you can take a “driver’s ed” class in high school to skip the exams at the DMV (you take them as part of the class). The exams are free (IIRC), you just have to pay to get the license when you pass. You only have to pass a written exam to get your “permit” (limited license). You need a certain amount of hours of driving to get a full license; but these aren’t really tracked. You just need a guardian (if you’re under 18) or a license holder to sign an affidavit saying you drove the hours. I definitely hadn’t actually driven the number of required hours when I turned 16 and my mom signed off on it.

It varies widely by state, of course; I started driving in Alabama when I was 15. I just recently had to pay WA to transfer my license from Colorado, I guess that was just administrative fees.

This is plain false. It says so in big letters, right at the top of their website:

Tether has issued tokens on the Omni protocol, Ethereum, and other networks. The blockchains and amounts are listed here:

>Bitcoin script is far too limiting to build expansive applications on.

My original point was that weak smart contract features on Bitcoin motivated Ethereum's creation (Vitalik's name is on the Colored Coins whitepaper). This is in contrast to GGP's proposition that Ethereum had underrated novelty.

This sounded ridiculous at first, but after looking at it, I understood the value preposition.

It’s a colorscheme, yes, but you pay for the consistent support of over 160 apps, which is a big deal IMO. Heck, every program under the sun seems to offer a solarized dark theme, but they’re all wrong in different ways and use different accent colors for different things, so I rolled my own in a lot of cases to get an actually consistent appearance. It’s a huge hassle, and just paying 80$ would probably have saved money compared to the hours and days I spent manually theming stuff.

Loom was the first quest game I ever played, and it still is a marvel. replayed it a couple of years ago and was really surprised how well it ages - way better than Monkey Island, I must say.

This is exactly why Oracle in the 90s and 00s starting buying up software Application companies (Peoplesoft, JD Edwards, Hyperion, etc).

And then in the old on-premise world, you sell them both the App and require the use of your database which is an additional sale.

This strategy doesn’t work in a Cloud world though. Since customers are no longer buying the individual components (like the database) but are instead just leasing the finished good. By definition, they don’t care what’s under the hood - unless you’re selling to another software company who’s using your database to make their finished good.
I don’t believe it is. At will employment allows for the abuses we see in cancel culture. If you’re asking “are people organizing campaigns to have people fired?”, there are numerous examples. One which springs to mind is Lee Fang—he was targeted by coworkers although he wasn’t ultimately fired. Another would be David Shor.
When it says "supports Wayland" does it actually mean that Wayland upped the game to support screenshots at the protocol level, or is this all the major compositors have settled on a de-facto screenshot standard to implement in parallel to Wayland?

Because I don't think, technically, it is possible for a screenshot tool to "support Wayland".

For lots of low income people Linux on ARM is a down grade and the stuff that only "desperately poor" people would even consider. Having a "proper" laptop with a "proper" OS will decrease the perceived difference between yourself and other non poor people.
Cool, it didn't occur to me to check that.
If you're looking for a screenshot tool for macOS, I cannot recommend CleanShot X highly enough. It in the league of its own, with scroll capture, gifs, even changing your desktop in the screenshot, but not "in reality". I'm really impressed.
Literally the first sentence of the linked page is "Improved MacOS support. MacOS is now officially supported and we will resolve any reported issues on this platform."

However, I think build-in screenshot tools (that even can take videos) in Macos are already quite powerful. What do you miss?
It is possible to implement a real forth in this language.. but it would be as slow as molasses in January. You can get the depth of the stack, you can swap arbitrary positions of the stack, and do math... so you could build a system of fixed allocation of memory IN the stack, which means you could then compile new definitions

The interpreter doesn't add like forth... it leaves the 2 values to be added still on the stack... you have to do "glblb" to do a normal add, for example.

A fun exercise, but not a language I'd want to work with.

Edit: Specifically missing are any ways to persist variables, or allocate memory. Yes, you could fake all of that with some very careful coding, but a single mistake or clear stack (y) would send it all tumbling down.
can you tell us more? what are you refering to?
servo is written in rust, not firefox. The firefox codebase is quite old, while servo was written from scratch, being the first new web codebase in years.

As someone who's worked predominantly in high level languages (Scala, Ruby, etc...) I've found Rust to be relatively straightforward to use for simple CLI tools or gRPC servers (tonic library is pretty nice). I haven't tried building a CRUD app yet, but I don't see any real reason why it would be impossible to have an ergonomic web framework in Rust.

The things I find most difficult:
1. Wrangling with the borrow checker can be painful before you know what you're doing (and even afterwards) but if you understand the standard library/patterns well, it seems to minimize the cost. Example being trying to write your own `get_or_else_insert` style method for a HashMap. Writing your own version is easy in other languages but hard in Rust. If you didn't know that methods like that already exist on HashMap you will experience a lot of pain until you understand the "right" way to do something.

2. Shared memory concurrency is definitely at the nexus of all the more difficult parts of Rust. Especially with async/await. There's no question in my mind that if you want to write a webserver that has async functions accessing shared memory, that you will for sure need to fill in any gaps in your knowledge as it will be difficult to get to a working program without understanding significantly more concepts than what it might take for a simple single-threaded CLI app

I'm pretty sure that it will be possible (if it isn't already) to get the Rust ecosystem to a state where writing a CRUD app is about as simple as in Go (and considerably easier/more ergonomic w.r.t certain things like JSON serialization).

If a better web experience is core to Google’s interests, paying for content should pay off in the long run. That's what they're demanding of content creators anyway, so they should put their money where there mouth is.
Yes, they didn't care much for standards. But the larger problem was that they basically stopped implenting new web standards the moment IE was dominant, protecting their Windows monopoly.

I don't think many web developers who have really lived through the IE 'glory days' would say the current situation is even nearly as bad.

You are right in a library-demographical sense, but not in a fundamental sense. There is a 3rd way. Have a look at the CTL I linked to (downvoted..maybe I should have explained more?).

Once you give up the closed source/prebuilt binary library idea and embrace the C++-like header library idea and write implemenations in terms of "assumed macro/inline function" definitions, the problem becomes straightforward with no performance issue and different ergonomics issues than you probably think.

It's a more "manual instantiation" than C++ templates or generics in other languages where just refering to them works, but most of C is quite manual. So, it fits the headspace & the hard parts of data structures/meddlesome hands remain factored out. Since you parameterize your files/code with #define/#include, you have to name your parameters which can make the instantiating client code more obvious than C++ templates with many arguments. OTOH, there is no/poor type checking of these parameters.
And all you had to give up was sandboxing and process per site isolation!

The Goal is a book that influenced me over 25 years ago. The concepts are sound but i have gifted it to over 20 people since and a handful get it for what it is. However it isn’t a book about business and more a story about complexity and constraints applied to a theoretical business. I have never had occasions where there is an aha moment about a business i am in that literally is explained in The Goal.

It seems to me you have the makings of a good partnership and i have read your comments and it does look like you are committed. In my opinion you could shift to looking at how your customers view your business and working backwards. It might be that your answers are to be less self obsessed and more customer obsessed. Not saying you are not doing this already but in my view the hierarchy for a business prioritises the customer first and works backwards. Issues in your partnership can then be weighed against this mission. Good luck.
It doesn't really matter for me to count myself as a co-founder of what we have in our hands now.
I used this term mostly since the growth stage co-founder dynamics are what we need to work on now and wanted to frame my question with it.
Pet peeve, articles that use "untested" as a critism when testing something is the point.
I dont think so because he could have said it plainly since it was generally slow, but instead he implied that the use cases users were trying weren't "real world" use cases that fit within what a database of its class should be able to do. Hes not being totally honest about the performance issues and how much of an impact it had on their failure.
This the key. I'm also a dreamer of a better RDBMs (https://tablam.org) and wish I could live doing it... but working on the sector of small business what they want is a better access/excel. Probably that is what bigger companies want too.

So the internal tech is just a mean to make that possible. I think if a db engine provide the equivalent of the auto-admin of Django it will sell itself easily :)

However this is also hard because DBs engines touch several complex things (storage, concurrency, compilers, interpreters, etc) and is hard to find people for this plus the funding.
Regarding that headline: False dichotomy.

We are thinking exactly what you are describing. Just quick effortless quick wins to access backend services, like triggering an API.

We are thinking that the same benefit that infrastructure-as-code gave to backend-dev, we can give backend-dev UIs-as-code (not that it isn't already, haha) to help backend put an easy UI in front of their services.
Is there literally no other code in the application?

Rust has plenty of situations where you do unsafe things but wrap that in safe APIs. If you’re returning regions of that mmapped file, for example, a lifetime can be associated to those references to ensure that those are valid for the duration of the file being mmapped in the program.

It can be used to ensure that if you need to write back to that mmapped file (inside the same program) that there are no existing references to it, because those would be invalid after an update to the file. You need to do the same in C, but there are no guardrails you can build in C to make that same assurance.
Yep, it's not only open sourced, it's not even open access. (I get the reason, but somehow, maybe due to the fact that it's from an organization called OpenAI, a lot of people seem to think that everyone could use it if they wanted to.)

As someone that lives in Toronto and is moving out in the middle of the month to go back home near family. The idea that Toronto is going to focus on "affordability" is laughable. It's one of the most expensive cities to live in in the world, and the incompetent city council, mayor and all the way up to the provincial government are doing absolutely everything they can to keep it that way - mostly without even realizing it. They have absolutely no clue what they are doing or the basics of market economics.

The federal government is also considering to step in to try and "solve" the problem, and this only means the problem is going to get worse.

I am not joking when I say that when the Canadian real estate markets crash - it is going to be absolutely disastrous for this country as it is basically the tent-pole keeping the entire thing propped up. Our debt to GDP is out of control. Our federal government keeps borrowing and spending on things that are completely inneffective (and bragging they spent the most than any other country). My gloom and doom prediction is our currency is going to be absolutely worthless in two years time.
