Maybe the problem is where a policy, practice or simply prejudice would draw a line.

There is autism in my family, some members are officially diagnosed, and while it's not my case (I was born in France in the 1950'), I am certainly not someone with an ordinary world view. Otherwise I managed to have a good enough career, sometimes managing up to 100 people.

The idea that I could have been "suppressed" because some prejudice is frightening.

iOS 15 bug nobody is talking about

This bug (feature :) makes many web services unusable on Apple's mobile devices, yet there is 0 news about that. Does any one knows more about this? What is going on? Is that a webkit issue or something else? Is Apple aware of that, or maybe this change was planned, but why?

I think the more general rule is that if your platform is advertising itself as an alternative to an existing dominant platform but that doesn't censor "X", the kind of people who'll flock to you will mostly be those who value X over any other interaction on the dominant platform.

Most moderates don't feel restricted enough in their speech to use Twitter even if they may have some racist ideas they don't feel safe stating there, but literal white supremacists who want to talk about the superiority of the white race all day long will love your alternative that doesn't censor them.

But if those white supremacists now all flock to your platform you likely now have a platform mostly consisting of white supremacists. This will naturally limit who else wants to join your platform because if they don't like being around tons of white supremacists they don't stick around long enough to build a counterbalance.

This can also happen after you think you've already established a more nuanced community as with your example of Freenet.

It turns out that while some people may seek opportunities to talk about X, others will not want to share space with discussions about X, often because of what it means to their own safety but also sometimes just from fear of association.

If you have a fun social network and it has a prospering community of nazis in it, you're now the nazi network, no matter how much of your community is about other things than being a nazi.

I think Oracle APEX works on the same premise? Store locally in indexdDB and sync up when the connection is back on-line. No need for difficult programming, APEX does this out of the box .

Anyhow, a way to force this behaviour in APEX is to make every user interaction a write action on the DB. This way you either save locally or to the backend (but you don't have to worry about the sync between the two).

Podman is not (YET) a drop-in replacement for Docker CE (on Linux), at least for me (even after 3.0.0 release when it adds seamless Docker Compose support, the way it does it contradicts daemon-less...).

Deploying stacks (on Linux) Docker Compose style are typical use cases for using Docker, `podman-compose` works sometimes, however, over half of such initial attempts fail and require tinkering.

Docker CE (at least for Linux) is still the best option when the use cases are simply clone the repo & deploy/run the stack using `docker-compose up -d`, it simply does the job at the best cost.

podman / buildah / skopeo trio is definitely worth learning, podman can be very useful to migrate containerized workloads from local / standalone dev machines to production k8s clusters, by leveraging `generate kube`.

I'm not suggesting to publish every paper twice. The author submits only to one of the two journals. If it's the original journal, the article appears exactly as is common now, behind a paywall, and that's it. If it's the new sibling journal, the publisher of the original journal has nothing to do with it, no copyright transfer occurs, and the paper appears only on a free and open platform.
It's really a shame you are getting down voted. You are basically just saying, "Sometimes shared memory model makes a more efficient and simpler solution over enforced actor model. Like in this case." This shouldn't be controversial, engineering choices come with tradoffs and the GIL certainly pushes you for making a specific choice.

Yes, if you are going to be doing caching in python, you are almost certainly going to be caching it in a separate service and serializing across process boundaries. If you are going to be holding onto a connection pool as well (PG bouncer being the most typical). More generally, any sort of shared resource that would require or benefit strongly from shared memory model needs to be pushed into a sidecar service written in a language that actually supports efficient shared memory model. These are precisely the sorts of problems that the GIL causes. There are standard ways to work around it and most python developers can reach for these solutions, but this is not a contradiction to the fact that the GIL has limited your choice in the matter.

I agree with you that "your app using 15% less power" is not a priority and that governments should be more involved. However, "nationalizing and seizing energy corporations " makes no difference, either.

What is your aim for the energy sector here?

To decarbonise it requires a lot of capital investment and innovation and it's only pragmatic to involve the private sector through the right incentives (both carrot and stick). It's also pragmatic to involve the state because private companies are not very good at projects that require high capital investments for very long term goals (for example, developing and building nuclear plants).

In my eyes, the following should be equal:

- a binary file that's used for storing data, like an SQLite database
- a text file that's used for storing data, like an XML or JSON file

Someone else linked a list of CVEs and how those could be exploited, the look of which isn't that bad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28690837

Those problems could be addressed in a pretty easy way, plus if you're security conscious, just run the importer in an entirely separate container which will basically be single use (possibly distroless, if you want to go that far), with resource limits in place.

But that's not my point. My point is that both of the data formats should be pretty much equal and them not being so in practice is just a shortcoming of the software that's used - for example, even spreadsheets ask you before executing any macros inside of them. There definitely should be a default mode of addressing such files for just reading data, without handing over any control of the computer to them.

> Zipping a SQLite database is not a good serialization method...

Therefore, with this i disagree. SQLite might be flawed, but zipping an entire dataset and sending it over the network, to be parsed and merged into a larger one is an effective and simple solution. Especially, given that your app can use SQLite directly, but probably won't be as easy to make while storing the state as a large JSON file, which will incur the penalty of having to do conversion somewhere along the way. Here's why i think it's a good approach: https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html

Who's to say that JSON/XML/... parsers also wouldn't have CVEs, as well as the application server, or back end stack, or web server that would also be necessary? In summary, i think that software should just be locked down more to accomodate simple workflows.
Then what if the schema changed? Columns renamed, dropped or new columns added that is non-nullable, or new foreign keys with non-null constraints?

The only place I've seen "offline sync" work is where MongoDB was used server-side for the sync, which then gets synced with postgres - in this case the models are forced to be the same.

But then you still have the problem of which side to sync first: postgres to mongo or mongo to postgres? What if a conflict arises? And having a device turned on after being off for a month WILL cause issues.

I don't think there is a real solution here yet. At least not one that is perfectly automatable.
