Thanks for the interest!

1. Because it's decentralized, the complexity doesn't increase by having additional nodes on the network. The complexity does increase to a small degree as seen by your node as you make contacts. I guess my answer to your question is it's very scalable.

2. I have a notification loop that runs once every three seconds. The result is the latency is about 1.5s from when I send a message to when it shows up on my contact's phone.

3. Because it's a self hosted network, the data loss protection is up to the person running the node. I added a cron script to backup my node node once a day, but someone might want something more frequent...or less.

Cheers.
One of the things this guide is missing is to consider the kind of soil you’re using. I love Haworthia, a kind of succulent. However if you try to give them the succulent soil from a big box store, your first watering (even to a bone dry soil) will likely be fatal simply because the soil will retain too much water. Plants sensitive to too much water also need soil that retains very little water, sometimes even a medium with no soil at all (also called a gritty mix)!

Sucks that Windows 7 is out of support now (and some games don’t work) and am forced to use Windows 10. If I could go back I would do so in a heartbeat.

On the Linux side I have i3 with XFCE on it and haven’t changed it for over a year. And it will probably stay that way (until Wayland supports Nvidia GPUs and becomes good enough, which will probably take a lot of time)
Its probably that I grew up with c like languages. When I try to read something like

True. And that would make the timelines much easier.
>> But Apple, Google, and Amazon are now creating their own ARM CPUs for their own products.

It all leads to technical debt. They will make their own devices and keep them in-house. Then they will modify software to leverage these devices. Eventually they will loose touch with the standards. This will go well, for a while. Then something will go wrong. Their chip development will run into a roadblock and they will want to return to the standard. But by that point the cost of reverting will be far to high. They will be stuck with their in-house chips for better or worse. This isn't healthy. Sticking with the community standards on fungible hardware, or better yet contributing to them, is always the better long-term bet.

This is something I have been thinking about. I don’t like regulation, but imagine a small, surgically focused requirement that says, for example, “you are obligated to provide an API covering the entirety of your platform’s GUI features if you serve more than N users”.

As a consequence:

1) fully-featured third-party cross-platform client software allows users to transition across platforms more easily,

2) platforms start bleeding users,

3) platforms start charging for service,

4) platforms become pipes.

There are implications, though:

1) big tech might find ways to pretend to be smaller entities;

2) this does not guarantee that user data privacy is respected, but ideally this creates a scenario in which the user is free to choose a more ethical provider;

3) client app security & ethics will become paramount, client apps will become valuable targets;

4) downgrade to pipes will end of the age of cool Web 2.0 platforms and grand social startups. Unfortunately, I don’t see any other way—this business model is user- (society-?) hostile yet addictive, and there seems no other way around it apart from WeChat-like nationalization which is objectionable for a whole other chunk of reasons.
I wish I could offer helpful advice, but it's very tricky.
I would be very careful working with them as you know that their behaviour could reflect poorly on you. If you have to work with them, I think you can only try to keep it professional, create an audit trail by keeping everything in writing, and try to involve other team members in your discussions so that you're not just dealing with them 1-on-1.

I love this question and admittedly, it took my breath away, almost speechless that I could be a part of FB, instead of being given whatever management wants to give me.

Honestly, I'm not sure how it would look. I imagine it might feel different. I imagine I might feel a little more hopeful, instead of so helpless. A little more calm, less filled with dread. I imagine I might feel a little more relaxed, believing I have some say in a safety valve to keep the platform going, in case some leader takes it in a direction that most of us don't want.

I don't know if I'd even want direct democracy, where we users vote on feature prioritization and other nitty-gritty details, I may like some type of representative democracy.

I don't know. It may not look different but maybe it would feel different. Does that make any sense?
This bug happened to the crypto project Compound. I work for a crypto company that has a DeFi product that uses Compound. So I've been deep into following this since it started.

The funds sent to users were "rewards" for using the platform. Compound didn't actually lose any user funds, it was Compound's "governance token" that was given out.

Although user funds were not affected, billions of dollars have been pulled out of lending pools in Compound.

It's really unusual for a crypto project to threaten users like this. Bugs happen all the time, heck, even giant thefts due to bugs happen all the time. Everyone usually just keeps right on doing whatever they were doing.

Unfortunately the bug didn't just hand out tokens to people, it did so by messing up the stored accounting for those "lucky" users. Fixing it is not going to be trivial. Also, the tokens that it handed out already "belong" to people who had "earned" them, but not yet cashed them out. This means that once this bug is fixed, Compound is going to take the funds for this out of their own treasury to refill this so users can be paid (or face some amazing backlash).

To change the smart contracts requires a community vote and a seven day period of review, voting, and timelock. This means that it's staying broken and handing out money for the next week, and people are racing to catch as much of it as they can.

Agreed. My peace lily is great. It wilts when it's thirsty, and otherwise it requires no maintenance.

I once left it for about a month, came back, it had wilted quite a lot. I thought maybe it wouldn't recover. I watered it a normal amount and woke up to it having perked up quite a lot, and in another day it was back to normal.

Definitely a plant I would recommend.

I want to love Nix but I just can't get it. Worked with it for 14 months and found I struggled to make small changes meaning we had to depend on DevOps for things I could whip up in Docker and bash in minutes. I don't even really know why I struggle with it so much, but the startup I'm working for mentioned using it and I just shuddered thinking about it.

The Internet is a deluge of information and training material on this subject, so the teams that want to teach themselves this skill have already done so, leaving the teams that don’t want to do so.

I didn’t go into detail in my initial description, but this team misrepresented their process maturity to the extent that I had no qualms about bouncing out just as quickly as I got it to take a candid look around.

I’ve beaten my head against the wall for years on teams that didn’t give shit, so made testing and process maturity my primary focus during my job hunt, and made that clear to this team during the interview.
I have a strange obsession with git-powered wikis. I've spent time playing around with most of the popular ones and I think it's basically the perfect documentation format.

The actual CUDA documentation is good:

https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index....

In particular, "Section 5: Performance Guidelines": https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.... gives a lot of micro-architectural details, including those nasty "bank conflicts" that people keep talking about. Honestly, the original documentation says it best with just a few paragraphs on that particular manner:

> To achieve high bandwidth, shared memory is divided into equally-sized memory modules, called banks, which can be accessed simultaneously. Any memory read or write request made of n addresses that fall in n distinct memory banks can therefore be serviced simultaneously, yielding an overall bandwidth that is n times as high as the bandwidth of a single module.

>

> However, if two addresses of a memory request fall in the same memory bank, there is a bank conflict and the access has to be serialized. The hardware splits a memory request with bank conflicts into as many separate conflict-free requests as necessary, decreasing throughput by a factor equal to the number of separate memory requests. If the number of separate memory requests is n, the initial memory request is said to cause n-way bank conflicts.

See? Its really not that hard or unapproachable. Just read the original docs, its all there.

AMD's documentation is scattered to the winds, but the same information is around. I'd say that your #1 performance guidelines are from the ancient optimization guide from 2015. Its a bit dated, but its fine: http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2013/12/AMD_OpenCL_...

Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are relevant to today's architectures (even RDNA, even though some details have changed). Chapter 2: GCN, applies for all AMD GPUs from the 7xxx series, through the Rx 2xx series, Rx 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, Vega, and CDNA (aka: MI100) architectures.

RDNA does not have as good of an architectural guide. Start with the OpenCL guide for optimization, and then "update" your knowledge with the rather short RDNA guide: https://gpuopen.com/performance/

For assembly language details:

* CUDA's PTX is basically assembly language: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/parallel-thread-execution/index...

* PTX is a portable assembly language: NVidia continuously updates their GPUs. Volta was very well studied by this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06826. I'd suggest reading this AFTER you learn the basics of PTX.

* AMD publishes their assembly language for each generation. Vega is probably a good starting point: https://developer.amd.com/wp-content/resources/Vega_Shader_I...
"I'm just confused why people seem to be so afraid of the government getting too big and not also at least a little afraid of corporations getting too big."

You raise valid points but it remains the case that there isn't close to an equivalence there due to government's monopoly on force. All of the worst atrocities and dystopias, whether they've been inwards-focused (famines, hyperinflation, pogroms - North Korea, Venezuela, Cambodia, etc) or outwards-focused (invasions and genocides - Axis powers in WW2) have been perpetrated by governments. You could argue that these aren't real democracies, but liberal democracies are but a hop, skip and jump away from autocratic dictatorial hell as history has shown repeatedly. We have many modern mini-dystopias engineered by governments today. People are right to be fearful.
> types are any proposition that can be made about a program before program execution

How are those types any different than outright stating a behavioral invariant? (I agree that's useful, I'm just not convinced that type systems are the most user-friendly way to state system invariants vs. normal, boring mathematics.)

With languages like Idris, I feel like—because all you have are types (read: hammers)—"everything looks like a nail." But perhaps that's just me.

Many of us believe so.

In fact, I would generalize more than the article’s thesis: “large organizations considered harmful”.

Any large organization, be it a company or a government or even an NGO, will inevitably lose efficiency as it grows larger, and will lose focus on its original purpose in favor of the purposes of the people with decision making power in the organization.

I find it interesting that people on the left in general tend to believe the worst of corporations and have more confidence in government, and people on the right have the reverse views in general.

In my opinion, both have some potential for tyranny; it’s just a little easier (not much) to deal with recalcitrant corporations, and sometimes you have a choice of corporations to interact with.

It’s also what I loved the most about backpacking when I was younger. I started out so uptight and unapproachable with the constant new faces, but forced myself to socialize and eventually I became comfortable and a social risk taker. I would often spot others where I used to be (in my head) and include them in whatever was going on.

I sometimes think I could have kept going forever and be happy just subsisting except for all the casual drinking etc.

Succulents are also a good choice, they can tolerate quite a long time without water. The advice for them it let the soil dry completely, and then give a complete soak.

I have mine in a semi-transparent container with no drain, so I can see the soil get darker, and I know when to stop adding water, and since there is no drain it soaks up the water well (i.e. the sponge hydrophobia the article mentions).

This. I recently bought an "second hand" iPhone XS advertised as those came from shop display phones. It was in good condition: no burn ins, battery at 80% health. When the screen broke after dropping it, I went to some shop for repair just to found out its remix of parts from other iPhone ( apparently the motherboard came from South Korea ). This made the device very fragile as some of the screws maybe missing and screen are not properly mounted. The iPhone XS I bought had one missing screw and no display adhesive.

I'm currently using NixOS. I jumped in some time after using Nix with macOS.

I think following simple examples is straightforward. I think anyone who can install python and ruby with brew would be able to look at a replit.nix which uses python, and figure out how to change it to also install ruby.

Even for just simple cases, I think Nix is compelling and worth looking into.

"Nix is weird" becomes more of an issue for a long tail of edge cases, where a developer is likely to bump into one of these, and it won't be clear where in the documentation to go. -- With Nix being so weird, it both requires a familiarity with what you're doing in a standard-linux way, as well as familiarity with how things need to be done with Nix.

e.g. the nginxModified in the OP makes use of overrideAttrs. (You'd need to know both that nginx can be configured like that, as well as how to configure with nix).

As the EU, a supranational government, strengthened in Europe, it actually made it easier to move to another country. Perhaps if the EU became more and more controlling of its member nations, then it wouldn't feel as if one were moving from another country, because each place would be quite similar in law, I don't agree that supranational governance would necessarily make it more difficult to move to another country.

Also, I think it might be underused right now because it's probably really hard for most people around the world to move to another country for various reasons: financial, social, linguistic, legal, etc.

I agree that moving countries can help people, I think it is currently a huge task for most and ironically, believe that better relationships between countries and an overarching form of governance may make it easier to do.

> The problem with all these counterpoints is that they take an initial change eg. automobiles and offer a "more" version e.g. air travel.

The same can be said for every one of your examples. Automobiles: horsepower, but more! Like, literally. Last time I saw a car ad, they used the word horsepower. A century later.

> At some point, it's just going to come down to a difference of opinion over which transformation(s) were more qualitative and which were more quantitative. Suffice it to say that I regard all of your counterpoints are quantitive changes, and all of my original points as qualitative.
