I wish the Matrix/Element folks the very best of luck, because they're pretty aligned with Zulip values-wise.

That said, I don't think you should expect a Zulip-style threading user experience in Element anytime soon. Regardless of how the Matrix protocol for federation between servers is extended, providing the "Zulip user experience" would likely require a major overhaul of both their client/server protocol for Element and their client user experience. (Also, the proposal you link is for HN-style threading, not Zulip-style topics).

I don't understand Element's internals, but my basis for this claim is a huge portion of all technical and design work we do on Zulip wouldn't be necessary or would be much simpler if Zulip didn't have topics (E.g. the architectural decision criticized in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27150492 is a good example). See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27150196 for a few more examples. I imagine Element will only invest in all of that work that if they believe it's important to their business.

As an outside observer, Element's business focus seems to be on competing with WhatsApp/Messenger/Signal/Telegram/SMS, not Slack, so while I'd love to see Matrix/Element borrow Zulip's topics model, you probably shouldn't hold your breath.
This isn't the first such attack. You can bet the big agencies worldwide have been aware of ransomware and investigating. They have been putting evidence together. It only takes a few of the right mistakes on the part of the criminals for them to be figured out. In the long run the advantage is to the police because they can keep looking.

If you want to be a criminal who gets away with it you really need exactly one big action, and at most a few tiny practice runs before the big one. Choose your target well because once the big one is done you have to be done. (and don't do anything copycat - investigations to get the first guy might find you instead)
QMK-compatibility means that you can flash the keyboard with your own firmware, written in C. Quite a lot of potential for extension, macros, and odd bits and bobs of USB-compatible things like midi, steno protocols, and mouse movement.
A common refrain on the internet is "but can it play crysis?"

Windows 10 can't (at least not without a crack) because the DRM doesn't work anymore.
Is this not just something MS Teams did? [1] You seem to be implying it's an optional setting or customization. I'm not an MS Teams admin, just a user on one instance of Teams, and was happy when the button appeared.

It stopped the broken conversations, but it didn't make anyone use MS Teams any more than necessary. (Our group has been using Slack for longer than Teams has been around, and since Teams is still inferior in nearly every way we haven't switched; due to the near silence from every other org in the company, they're probably doing the same).

What? This makes no sense.

The hacker group attacked resources considered "critical infrastructure"; this was closer to an act of war than any other cyber attack has come. The US Cyber Command responded swiftly.

Please, elaborate? I fail to see how the US Govt is taking advantage of this crisis for more power.

> Getting to 40WPM usually takes years of practice.

30-40 WPM was the target for high school computer typing courses in the 90s (my experience, may have been a similar target earlier and I don't know the target for courses targeting typewriters), and this was a time when computers weren't ubiquitous like today. It's very feasible to hit that target in a few months especially if you learn proper hand placement (hunt & peck, two finger typists, will have a longer ramp up time but can often still hit those speed targets).
Curious to how you are still running IE6 :)

> The jobs involve significant cognitive work, developing new software

It has a highly-developed process for setting goals and tracking progress towards them, culminating
in a primary output measure for each employee.

I am skeptical. Why? I've never seen a half-decent way of quantifying output in all my time on the job at 7 companies. Sure, this company complies enough numbers so that clients and upper management feel the performance is quantified, but that's not the same thing. At a minimum this productivity metric needs to be interrogated more closely.
USB controllers are usually unable to provide more than 6-key rollover. Some keyboards offer two parallel cables for 12-key RO, but for real NKRO you basically need PS/2.
Throw in some eye tracking software, autocompletion, specialized writing or programming software and you can do much better.

Best Practices for Logging Lambdas
According to a piece of discussion recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27088530) the stop for adding new papers seems to be voluntary and motivated by complying with a request in an Indian court process.

Under the circumstances I'm sure they could use help and development with that stage anyway, but it's not clear to me that whatever system was in place until last year has been put out of commission more permanently.

Why would they? English doesn't have a legally protected status.
Rust's main selling point is a type system that allows safe wrappers around unsafe code by encoding invariants in the types themselves. Stuff that lives in the documentation like "you need to call foobar_free" becomes an unsafe block in a safe Drop implementation that only needs to be extensively tested once to validate the safety of the wrapper. Once the safe-unsafe interface is tested, downstream code doesn't have to worry about the unsafe implementations at all.

Without unsafe, Rust programs would be useless since the Rust compiler can't verify the safety of external libraries that provide critical functionality like memory allocation and syscal interfaces (I/O). It would also go against one of Rust's main goals which is C FFI compatibility, which is something that the Rust compiler can't verify.

The point of the course is to teach CS students how to use their tools. Are they expected to only use tools available on every single linux system by default? Are they also expected to not download anything else that isn't universal across unix systems? Not being aggressive, just pointing out how I think it's still a biased choice. I despise Vim but I wouldn't teach Sublime-only, I'd give a brief overview of vim, emacs, sublime, vs code, and let students choose.

None of that is an argument against getting vaccinated against viruses that easily spread amongst the population with mild to horrific effect, mutating as it goes along.

We should be celebrating science, the discovery and advancement of vaccines, and their ability to give immunity or strong protection against diseases that have previously debilitated individuals or worse.

The fact that I have never known anyone with Polio is because of the strong global efforts to irradiate the disease from the face of the planet. Tragically the anti-science and anti-vaccine messaging has made that not possible for covid... something that's already resulted in near equal death of WWII in just over a year and will only continue.
Yes. I doubt any other organization has the capabilities to break Tor anonymity. They don't want to reveal their hand so you will only see their tools used in extreme circumstances. At most we will get some official parallel construction nonsense.

Ah very interesting. So Sapio is a library for constructing somewhat arbitrary programs using CTV as a mechanism for enabling more turing complete operations? Is Sapio turing complete (or, I guess equivalently would Bitcoin be turing complete with the addition of CTV)?

So with non-interactively created channels, I don't quite understand how you would be able to immediately spend/route payments. Don't you always need to interact with your channel partner in order to do both of those things?

I’m not sure what you are getting at. Several hundred services probably means going too far to the microservices side.

Cross cutting concerns like logging and monitoring are handled by 12factor. Services log to stdout and have the container orchestration pipe it to a logging backend. Monitoring can be standardised as well with healthcheck and metric endpoints. Security always has a maintenance cost attached unless you want to keep running on 12yo tomcat.

This is good advice (though it only needed to be a couple of paragraphs long)
The traffic goes through this "new infrastructure" not out of necessity but because it's free and allows the user to pretend like a number of problems don't exist.

Terrestrial optical networks operate far, far below capacity to create artificial scarcity, which is to a certain extent necessary to recoup the capital expenditures in a competitive market, and is to a certain extent an abuse of an under-regulated natural monopoly.

If you could eliminate all adversarial factors and put every data service subscriber's payment for a single month into a pool, and that pool purchased only transceivers, passive optics and switches, and this hardware was distributed to every network operator perfectly fairly based on its contribution to the global maximization of available network capacity, then the delivered capacity to the end user could increase by something like 4.5 orders of magnitude with no substantial change in topology or subscriber or provider costs afterwards using the existing fiber, with a few more orders of magnitude possible with a fatter tree before the backbone costs explode.

With DWDM you can carry 100+ channels of 100Gbps over a single fiber today, with commodity, off the shelf components. Most fiber in the ground today is probably still lit with a single wave of 10G, if it's not just dark.

This distribution model is not even remotely a technical necessity, it's an arbitrary local minima reached largely by exploitative market distortions and adversarial economics.
> I think most importantly, arrests need to be publicly available. We have a right to know who the cops are arresting and why

That's a good point, but on the other side there is the (very important) presumption of innocence. If I'm arrested, but not convicted of any crime (or possibly not even charged), why should that be a public record that will haunt me forever?
They claim "3.16 μV of noise on a 1 Vrms signal". So then that's lg2(1/3.16e-6) = 18.3 bits beyond which the rest is noise.

That is not even near top of the line DACs you can get elsewhere, which, for serious $$$, can approach 23 bits

$285.00? Too expensive. It's not even a matter of whether I can afford something of this sort. I simply feel awful when I overpay for something that seems like a hipster product.

Cut out the USB hub and seemingly useless RGB LEDs, bring down the price a bit and maybe I'll bite.

I do appreciate features like N-key rollower and programmable firmware, as well as being assembled in US. Ambivalent about aluminum chassis. (I.e don't mind it, but wouldn't mind good plastic either.)

It is not yet known if boosters will be necessary for COVID-19, let alone annual shots. There is however evidence that natural immunity lasts longer than 1 year.
I'm a Kailh Box Jade user, I love them to bits, but I understand that I am extremely niche. It's an interesting choice to sell them in prebuilts to a wide audience.

There's also tons of rattle in both sound tests, possibly stabilizers or the springs. I strongly recommend lubing the springs if you do pick one of these up (4-5 hours of work). Lubing the Jade clickbar also changes the sounds from a "thack" to a "thock," without changing the tactile profile much (unlike regular tactile switches). Something to consider if you find that the Jade pitch is unpleasant.
Filecoin isn't really useful, is it? It suffers from the same lack of real censorship resistance as IPFS, on which it is based. It also suffers in that the barrier for entry for new nodes is incredibly high (I didn't know this until recently myself when I was considering throwing part of a NAS at it and found out they wanted me to have way more than just 16GB of RAM to participate). Freenet is more appropriate as it provides cover for people holding the information on their nodes that IPFS does not.

Additionally, IPFS has the same problem as torrent files in that it requires additional layers (which aren't all feasible or effective) to obfuscate the source of data. If sharing it has been declared, in some sense, illegal then IPFS will reveal who is sharing it. And once those nodes are forcibly removed (because governments are more capable of doing that than random individuals) then the data can disappear.

Enfield is in Greater London. It's 25 to 35 minutes by rail from central London depending on which service you use, if you're measuring station to station. It's physically closer than Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Twickenham etc. It's connected by national rail, the Overground, and the Picadilly line in Chase Side.

The biggest material impact of Brexit for me right now is the much greater difficulty in importing stuff, wine especially. But when we get back to international travel, the border will make more difference. Goods to declare, for one thing.
A problem with mugshot sites is that they often detail the charges, and sometimes the charges just aren’t something people are going to be tolerant of.

For example, I know a young man who traded nude photos on his phone with a girlfriend who was just below the age of consent, got caught, and was arrested and charged with "sexual exploitation of a minor". Once in court, those charges were easily plea-bargained away, but the mugshot and charges will probably be findable on the web for years and years, and changing the public’s kneejerk reaction of disgust and hatred at those charges (after all, the actual context isn’t there for them to read) isn’t something that I would be optimistic about.

Niches changing is pretty boringly normal.

Dolphins are evolutionarily unfit to occupy the niche they had back on land. The bacteria that precipitated the oxygen crisis were very successful until they weren't.

There are many reasons to care about environmental destruction, pollution, and the loss of biodiversity, but at the same time it's neither particularly rational nor natural to obsess about preserving exactly the niches which existed at a particular point in time, nor our fitness for them.

Emacs bindings are also included by default in unix and Mac across all text fields, including browsers. Not arguing, just pointing out that I still think it's intellectually lazy. I detest vim every time I use it, and even when I was a CS student it wasn't that difficult to just learn how to use emacs or notepad++. The hard part is gaining the awareness, and that's what I would imagine one of the goals of teaching should be.

You can call it "divisive", but the two actions are not equivalent.

In terms of merely making a statement, then the anti-mask option would be something like wearing a shirt or mask with a message about how this whole mask thing is stupid.

The objection to people going maskless 6 months ago is not that they were making a statement, it's that they were endangering people in aggregate.

When you say "Was it lip-service and posturing 6 months ago or is it now? Do you value science or not?", that would only be justified if the science was specifically saying not to wear a mask right now. But that isn't true and has never been true. Wearing an unnecessary mask has always been fine.

I also don't understand it at all. The tooling is worse. The CLI tools are worse. The underlying OS is slightly different than your likely development target which causes issues. In addition the machine is not able to have its components updated easily (compare to a Thinkpad where RAM, hard drive, battery, etc. can be easily replaced)

There's less customizability, and it just seems less full of the magic that drove me to be a developer in the first place.

The place I work at now mandates Macbooks for all developers, and I have gotten used to it, but I'll never love it

for a lot of people you search for something to solve a problem. for instance debugging an issue. you middle click on a bunch of promising tabs and then go through them. if there is some useful information on that page you leave it open but it's rare that it's the only thing you need to know to solve your problem. another use is some API you need to use so you'd open up a bunch of tabs on the functions you are exploring how you need to use them.

I also separate the issue by window too and also use tabs and windows as temporary bookmarks really. not worthy of a full bookmark but not finished with.

I created an webextension to deal with handling those tabs because having a bunch of tabs across a bunch of windows is not the most ergonomic without one. might be useful for someone here I suppose: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist
