On the federation front, if your goal is to connect different chat services running different chat protocols, that's been possible for years with tools like Matterbridge (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge). Zulip also has direct bridge integrations with IRC and a handful of other protocols, e.g. https://zulip.com/integrations/doc/irc.

These integrations are a bit ugly and certainly not the ideal design, but they work and help a lot of communities that are 90% on Zulip but still want an IRC presence for whatever reason. (A fun historical note: Zulip's had a really nice puppet-powered bridge with Zephyr since 2012, because that was how we got enough usage during its early development to design the product and its data model with real users).

Longer term, we're planning to build a native Zulip federation feature. For us the technical strategy has been to first make a Zulip world-class user experience, and do native federation later.

Our strategy is motivated by XMPP, which like Matrix is extremely general (E.g. I talked to people who used XMPP as message bus for their backend infrastructure 10 years ago). XMPP is dying as a chat protocol because nobody can build a modern world-class chat application using it as the client/server protocol.

E.g. multiple people who'd worked as engineers on now-dead chat products complained that because their mobile apps talked XMPP to their server, it was impossible for them to make the apps start quickly in medium-size organizations, because of all the round-trips required.

In contrast, Zulip's client/server protocol both on web and mobile returns all metadata in a single HTTP request: https://zulip.com/api/register-queue, and then after that, another to fetch whatever messages you're going to look at.
Once I had the fortune of seeing the three cups and a ball scam live, on the street. One guy does the trick, another encourages the victim, and a third one watches the crowd disguised as a random onlooker. If something makes the onlooker nervous, he will signal the others and they will grab their things and disappear in less seconds than your hand has fingers.

This sudden quit seems similar, specially with the withdrawal of funds to an "unknown address", as if they closed shop and disappeared.
It could be more hygienic than with mouth contact, for example if a bicycle tire pump were used.
I think http is longer than ftp :P
Dogecoin Developers Say They've Been Working with Elon Musk Since 2019
Sorry, I just guessed the difference. It was DC to Manhattan one-way. Looking at emails, I paid $20 for Flixbus in Nov 2019, booking three days in advance. I recently took the same trip by Amtrak and paid $29, but I booked two weeks in advance, plus pandemic. Booking an Amtrak departure for three days from now costs $128-196. [A related way to save money I've regretted is flying from Paris to London rather than taking Eurostar. More false economy.]
As someone who often carries a lot of tabs, I often keep the tabs around because the cost of evaluating whether a tab is worthwhile or not is high. It usually pulls me out of flow and pulls me into whatever article is bookmarked, which slows me way down.

It'd be nice to have them slowly fade away so I didn't have to make a decision because most of the time, I don't need the tab and wouldn't even remember that it's gone lol.
The question is why/how is it haunting you? See my 2nd point.

If our culture treats the accused poorly, that's not the fault of nor is it caused by public mugshots.
Following that logic, any obvious ponzi / pyramid scheme is credible and trustworthy until it demonstrably collapses?

You say tether is "maintaining" the peg but that information comes... from them. They are not audited. They are unregulated. You don't even know who is behind it. You won't see that they are not even close to solvent until a bank run occurs. It is easy to suspend disbelief as long as nobody requests their fiat from tether in cash in large volumes. In those huge volumes, no fiat is changing hands, so they can very easily run with no cash at hand as long as people believe they have the money.

When I looked at it in more detail a few years ago, they even claimed you are not entitled to the fiat in exchange to the usdt you buy, is that still true? Is there even any way to get any fiat from them directly? Sure, you can convert your usdt to fiat using an exchange by buying another cryptocurrency first - in this chain everyone "believes" tether has the money to back it up and that's why it works. It could work even if tether had absolutely no usd because there is no reason to touch that usd.
Python is free and open source software. Binaries are readily available, and you can easily fork and build python from scratch if you so desire. They encourage and accept contributions from the general public, and they are even so nice that they supported a legacy version of the language for an additional 10 years after the planned switch to python 3. Guido invented this software, gave it away for free, and got scores upon scores of volunteers to pitch in on the project. Guido then quit the project and decided he could go make a bunch of money working for microsoft. No one forced him to work on python for microsoft, he decided he wanted to do it and Microsoft was generous enough to support him.

I see nothing wrong with any of this. There are plenty of complaints to make about Microsoft and Python but this "python selling out to $BIGCORP" thing simply doesn't make sense. If Guido wanted to sell out python, why didn't he remain BDFL and cede control of the project to Microsoft?

I think that this sort of discourse is unhelpful, off topic, and turns off people from open source. If companies are willing to support engineers working on free software we should support them and shouldn't guilt them about it, because its easier and cheaper for them to simply release proprietary software.
A 'legitimate business' that occasionally dabbles in murder is also a criminal enterprise.
A stupid mistake a script kiddie makes when playing with malware you're not familiar with.

I copied an existing virus someone had given me. The last part of the virus was to multiply and seek out any other computers attached to the network and delete and damage the files on those computers as well. I didn't know that. When it damaged the professors PC, he was using it on his home network, so he said there was only one PC it infected.

When he got back to campus, he sent the email to the network team (a group of students and professors) and they tried testing it out on a group of PC's. They thought the PC's were sandboxed. Turns out they weren't. The next 24 hours the virus rampaged and pillaged PC's attached all over the network. I'm still not sure how it eventually crashed the network. All the people involved refused to tell me exactly how it crashed their network - they said they didn't want me encouraging others to do it, so I was never told the full story.

To this day, I'm still not sure what happened, but it had to be bad enough to call in the Feds, right?
Perhaps it auto-prepends "www" to it (since that worked for me on FF).
largest in amount of servers that are participating (which actually makes the biggest resource impact).
What did you do for half an hour sync time (I guess initial sync when you login the first time with Element?)
I think the comments are a bit harsh. The reviewer did what I would consider a reasonable job testing the device, did mention that had he placed the dish higher up it would've helped with the various issues he encountered. He also explains that he is judging the device based on its current status because even though it is still in beta, people are signing up because there is an absolute lack of alternatives.

Not saying that his is a high-quality article, but most of the comments implied that this was an unfair/biased review and I don't see it.
Possible, but there is too much a chance that the cops already know who you are and just need to gather evidence in a form they can take to court. By shutting down they ensure that no more evidence is gathered. By starting a new organization they can't be sure that they aren't still being watched.
Would the same apply for someone who physically took something essential to national security hostage and then demanded money?

Would that change if they, for example, demanded the release of prisoners of a specific political persuasion?
3% withdrawal for 50 yr equity based retirement is interesting. Hadn’t heard that before. Our burn rate is between 2-3%. So we may in fact be done.
Works here, too. Chrome on Android. Got a very basic html site with Vi ce Cates' name on it.
this is what the blog post fails to address. Is the FIDO2 hardware key approach abusable? Yes. More so than regular image based CAPTCHA? No, like you said, there are well established services for "mechanical-turking" away the problem.

I would argue that (i) old-fashioned code is not deliberately going out of your way to write bad code, and (ii) this should, at the very least, trigger a warning from the compiler.
People are allowed to care about multiple things, and don't have to dedicate their life to the most important cause they can think of. Your dismissal could be used for basically anything. Why waste time arresting a mere murderer? Why stop a company from dumping toxic waste, it's only a few barrels. Why inspect a building to make sure it doesn't collapse, those are super rare. If you actually cared about people you'd be working on one of the biggest five problems and not those!
Hm, I guess another option.

I'm want to buy a mechanikal keyboard with QMK firmware (one which supports Tab Dance).

I'm just not sure which.

This one doesn't look bad, but then I'm more interested into something with a slightly more ergonomic key arrangement.

I also thought about the Moonlander, but it's even more pricey then this one.
funny project but why are you tracking the people visiting the website??
I used the same process. I wrote the novel from the start to the end, never reading back during the first draft if not for recalling certain details that affected the latter part of the story. Before starting I had just a subject of a couple of pages and a few main characters descriptions. All the rest happened while writing. But while the first draft is so much a matter of inspiration and letting things happen in front of your eyes, what comes next is a lot more similar to improving a large software system. Reading again and again, finding weak spots, improving, reiterating this process.
This is from 2015? Wow. My memory had it much earlier than that. Feels like the world has changed a lot since then.

I wonder if pg would revise the advice today, given how big M&A has become. I suspect it's all still relevant, except that actual deals are more common and prices are higher. That might change the balance, but the general description of what you're dealing with is still valid.

Companies constantly flirting with acquisition though... I feel like this sort of thing is way more prevalent now.
It hardly handles SMB/CIFS connections correctly, and it's been fucked up for years.
There is billions of dollars of value in BTC sitting in wallets as an open bounty for anyone who can hack private keys.

So which of the following is most likely:

- the government has a tool that can break private key encryption and used it to confiscate a hacker groups funds

OR

- whoever controls the groups wallet transferred it out and is on the run
The Alt is essentially dead for this price point, not that is was ever particularly good. The stabilizers in particular is something Drop never got right.

The GMMK Pro is the current disruptive force on the market, alongside boards that are entering semi-permanent stock like the Novelkeys NK65 or the KBDfans KBD67 Lite.

At this price point, and in a few other ways, this board from System76 is a joke. All the modifier keys are non-standard size (more in the pool of exotic), probably avoid putting any stabilizers on the thing. And that weird indent on the Tab key. This smells like designing the keyboard according to Keycap availability. Pretty sure you can find those exact caps on Aliexpress for 40-50 dollars.

The keycap profile is a super weird choice. I love DSA and XDA (this is XDA), but they're not exactly a good experience out of the box for someone who has been working on Cherry or OEM.

If you want a board with this layout, check out the GMMK Pro or ID80. The ID80 in particular requires that you buy parts yourself, but that's worth it just for the keycap availability. Both also support QMK.
It reminds me of how my old Nokia phone could do such basic things as use custom ringtones, whereas iPhones of the time did not have this functionality.

Apple seems to have this thing where they treat basic functionality as a premium or an upgrade. Things like window snapping, or being able to compile and distribute software...
Running scared though? I see this as the dash from 2nd plate to 3rd. If you're going to ditch your servers and wash your coins you might as well make it seem like you were compromised. I don't think there's any fear here as they surely must have anticipated the consequences.
And, by examination of evidence, everyone who has received a vaccine for covid is protected from it. Let them be free to make that choice.
I would go for a 4U rack case that fits loads of drives and fill it with shucked [1] external hard drives. Just add a cheap motherboard and some pci-e sata expansion boards and your good to go.

When can we bring this to the web? Zstd aka RFC8478[1] is so good. That it can continue to improve at all feels almost unbelievable, but @Cyan4973 &al continue to make it faster, somehow.

Especially on mobile, with large assets, I feel like zstd's lightning fast decompression time could be a huge win. It used to be that Brotli was the obvious choice for achieving high compression, but it doesn't feel so clear to me now. Here's one random run-off between the two[2].

The other obvious use case is if there is large-ish dynamic-ish data, where the cost of doing Brotli compression each time might be too high.

what? Have you ever dealt with a DDoS attack and the consequences on your availability and infra health?
> culturally we should

The problem with that is that such a "should" doesn't change the "are", and that it's unlikely to change any time soon. So we need to acknowledge reality and try to find a fix that works within that reality.
The NN in the article is based on handwriting, so comparing WPM to handwriting is a better apples-to-apples comparison than typing:

> Studies compiled by Amundson (1995) show that copying rates using handwriting at the 1st grade level are about 5 words per minute (WPM) on average, but by the end of elementary school at the 5th and 6th grade level are about 10 to 12 WPM.

Pre-covid, I only ever had manager 1:1s in a meeting room, or much more commonly, walking around the campus. Very occasionally a 1:1 in a deserted corner of a cafeteria during non-meal hours.

A manager 1:1 in a nonprivate space sounds awful.
Now you also probably see why many of us prefer Firefox.

And: this might be hard to believe but it was much better before - extension wise.
If you use cloudflare you give up freedom not to force captcha. If you avoid them you can choose where you want to captcha. When cloudflare goes down you go down unnecessarily.

If worried about a ddos attack cloudflare or another provider might be a good choice. But adding ddos support by default seems unncessary. In my 20 years of running 100s of sites I haven't run into a situation where I need ddos support. The vast majority will never be the target. Once in awhile google or bing will ddos you but using cloudflare to block that seems like overkill.
Yeah dont listen to this guy unless you want to spend 15 hours telling a licensed professional that digital assets have price charts and are extremely liquid for the needs of 99% of people and easily convertible to fiat, all while they keep deflecting to some old irrelevant headline that has nothing to do with you paying taxes on assets received and traded.

Find a lawyer that is advertising competency in this field, is willing to look at the nature of transactions instead of just assuming everything is capital gains or losses.

I’ve handheld many financial professionals on crypto topics over the last 5 years. It is a godsend that so many have moved to fill in a niche now.
Isolate is great. Digitalocean is pretty ok.
How does the scam work ? You got me curious...
Hidden file/folder visibility can be toggled with ⌘-Shift-. and zip files can be previewed with QuickLook after BetterZip is installed.

It isn't for the sake of it, breaking source compatibility would have been a major annoyance.
Unfortunately dating apps are an area where popularity does matter. Few are going to stick around on a largely empty app.

I was banned from Tinder about a year into the pandemic. I would sometimes idly swipe over that year to pass time but wasn't having conversations. I can only conclude that something in my profile was misunderstood.

They will not explain why, but I am now banned from all Match owned properties. That more or less leaves Bumble. At least until Match owns them.
I think I've really gotten into the habit of disagreeing with Paul Graham's blogs lately but this one felt different. Felt like a lot of practical, common sense advice that is just barely beyond the horizon that most people consider. Of course, it won't apply in every situation but it felt hard to disagree with the overall sentiment.

Note: I say I've been disagreeing with him lately and, of course, this blog wasn't written "lately." So maybe that says something.
Right, agreed on that not being the only factor, but I do think it's suspiciously-sufficient-looking to explain why CS was becoming a boys' club even as women were reaching parity with men in terms of proportion-of-the-sexes in medicine and law, and to some extent business more generally. "Computer nerds are so remarkably and uniquely sexist that they not only avoided this trend, but sharply reversed it" has never... quite rung true to me. Again (because you have to over-specify on this topic or risk angering people) not because there's no sexism among computer nerds or computer companies, but just because I don't get why programming/CS would be uniquely afflicted with that, to such an apparently huge—in order to explain the sharp difference—degree.

Meanwhile there are definitely a lot of gatekeeping-assumptions about childhood interests in modern CS programs, which one would expect to have gotten stronger as more and more freshmen actually could have had experience with computers on their own—so, starting with late-80s freshmen, mostly, with the effect getting stronger fast after that. That lines up so well with the data on CS-program-enrollment-by-sex that it seems to me like the factor to examine before we go looking for other explanations. Again, to be excessively explicit due to the topic, I mean this in terms of accounting for the gender gap in programming, not in terms of addressing any other issues of sexism in the industry, which I am not denying exist.
1. That's not really right. You're correct that "readiness" is important, but Python and JS are much bigger forces than Kotlin, and the main reason Java is getting features faster is because the investment in the platform has grown (and Kotlin was created when it was at an ebb). But so far, almost all linguistic features added after 1.0 -- generics, lambdas, type inference, ADTs, patterns -- are inspired by ML.

2. Java addresses those topics (where relevant) pretty much in the opposite way from Kotlin. Java rejected coroutines and is going down a completely different path with virtual threads; Java rejected data classes and chose to go down algebraic data types. So if you think Java gets inspiration from Kotlin, then it is in the form of what not to do.
Marie Curie, the Scientist: A Woman of Firsts
A mug shot does not provide publicly relevant information. It is very much the opposite: a direct invasion of an individual's privacy. I didn't consent to that picture being next to my name. Frankly, it's crazy that any mug shot is ever available on the Internet, unless it's on some kind of "wanted" list.
Yeah, I feel like a lot of us emacs users have been using it for so long that we don't even realize how different even the basics feel to people that are used to doing things the 'new fashioned' way. I picked it up after reading all of Steve Yegge's emacs blog rants, so I already had my interest peaked and had a good idea what I was getting myself into. I also wasn't expecting to get any serious work done with it, I was just curious about lisp and functional programming and wanted to dick around with emacs to see what all the fuss was about. After that I was hooked. I count all the hours of rewriting my emacs configs from scratch or typing in every function from SICP as time well 'wasted', but I fully understand why not everyone considers that type of thing to be something fun to do on a lazy Sunday.

Apologies, your username looks like the one that tossed that number out as a what they assumed was a high number.

200ms latency isn't that bad, but I'm seeing more 800-2000ms latencies with some users depending on physical location. at some point latency kills usability. Especially when trying to get through a complicated QA or inventory process.
Didn't Colonial pay $5m? I don't think Darkside ever received a $50m-$100m ransom. Do you have any more details?
Smallish non Chinese or Taiwanese company producing a mechanical keyboard with replaceable keys, QMK firmware, LED's and you are most times at a price around this.

And for people which like a clean setup the building hub is grate.

Just kinda pointless in case you have a laptop and a usb dock.

EDIT: Also just guessing but no LED and no HUB would probably reduce the price by at most 50$. Most cost don't come from parts but producing in small amounts, development etc.
Best of luck to you
I was inspired by a certain someone's meandering speech patterns to do something similar some years ago: https://www.biglyurl.com/
Exactly, they're functionally the same.
Nd4j (another project) enable to use cuda/MKL sota backends. It does native calls but I don't think the overhead is high. Besides some of those overhead are being optimized in the JNI successor.
Time is cheap, relatively to focus, IMO. I think it takes a pretty seasoned businessman to pursue or negotiate (even half-seriously) an acquisition... and paying the "price" in time only.
I kind of think similarly on the subject. They make some beautiful hardware, but I've never been able to get comfortable on macos. I love linux, but that also has some drawbacks when running that as your desktop or laptop. I have been really liking WSL on windows 10. I don't need to worry about installing stuff on windows, but having linux as my shell has been pretty great. I wouldn't call it just a better integrated VM, it's almost like having a chimera of an OS that is both linux and windows.

e.g. I have this in my .bashrc in my centos container. It runs the windows powershell executeable to write to my windows clipboard. Not sure how they're doing it but, seems pretty magical.

function cb () {
powershell.exe -command "\$input | set-clipboard"
}

echo "hello" | cb # hello written to windows clipboard

All that being said, I'd be really interested in how well this project integrates the container on macs. Maybe this will be a good option for the future.
