Micro-blogging gives you a chance to be an introverted extrovert. There is a different mental model: posting to a personal timeline that is free to be read, rather than adding your voice to a stack of existing discussions.

Posting on a forum is an open invitation for discussion, and it requires a level of preparedness that is defined by the culture of that specific forum. It implies two requirements: to provide something talk-able, and to talk with people.

Posting irrelevant or untalkable content is frowned upon, and ban-able if frequent enough. People treat forum as a community blackboard, and don't like it when someone is drawing random dots every day.

Second, the necessity of Q&A is implied. You expect people to interact with you, and people expect you to interact with them. Dropping a post and never replying to the comments is bad etiquette.

A micro-blog, on the other hand, is your blog. It's almost entirely yours, and it's you alone who define the culture of interaction. Well, the platform has moderation policies, but beyond that, you are free of expectations. You can post non-sense, bad jokes, or randomly generated words. Many micro-bloggers only make announcements and never replies. Some replies some times, to a selected a few.

And if some nosy commenters criticize your posting habit, it's on them to unfollow you. The blackboard is in your own yard after all. Who cares if it's all noise and no signal? Why go out of your way to follow me if you got a problem with my posts?

---

That is not to say that no one uses a forum like a micro-blog, or vice versa. But the normative behaviors tend to gravitate towards different places.
I think many people use the word freedom when they mean safety.
IMHO I would say you get paid highly precisely because you spent a decade pursuing your passions and developed skills.
BSC Is a Lost Cause
These problems you raise have been solved problems for a long time.

Maven Central uses verified reversed domain names, so to own `com.google` you need to prove you own the domain `google.com`. It's not hard to do it.

Dart's pub does the same thing with verified publishers.

crates.io already requires user accounts from publishers, so it already manages identity.

The only reason they don't require namespaces is to make crate names look cooler and the barrier to entry non-existen, so they can amass large numbers of packages in a short time (then deal with the fallout only when it becomes an emergency), I can't see any other reason anywhere, including from the ones you've raised.
ITT: People who don't know what NFT's are explaining what they think NFT's are to other people who don't know what NFT's are.

HN is really good for tech & SF housing market news, but god awful for any other types of information because the users here think they are experts on every topic.

If you are actually interested in how NFT's work, interesting projects using them, or just want to have a conversation around the topic that isn't just snarky morons jacking each other off, I highly encourage you to engage some of these communities on twitter, telegram, or discord.

Its a really fun space right now and there are lots of projects looking for solid web devs if you are in the mood for a challenging side project.
Right - in other words, is it fun working at a carnival? Carnivals sure seem fun!

The core mission of almost every company is pretty boring. I think that’s because human needs and wants (which is how companies create value: by meeting them) are old news. People need to eat, move stuff from place to place, talk to their friends, get paid. Big deal. Revolutionizing how those things are done: who cares?

History remembers real revolutionaries, not the people who made it easier to transact on the blockchain.

There are exceptions (SpaceX comes to mind) but generally speaking what matters is the work you personally get to do, the environment you do it in and who you do it with.
I keep meaning to work on an JSON to elisp object importer.

Maybe not the best example, fax machines usually work.

$40K is more than the median personal income in the U.S ($35K as of 2019). Plenty of people would consider $40K/year without having to work wealthy.

Even in VHCOL areas, $40K/year is fine if you own your own home and your kids are out of childcare years. VHCOL areas are typically VHCOL because of housing prices and their effect on service-provider wagss. If you take them out of the equation and only need to pay for food, gas, entertainment, utilities, insurance, and depreciation on your car, $40K/year (= $3.3K/month) is plenty.
return of the Experimemtal Breeder Reactor II!
which was going to be the basis for the Integral Fast Reactor/IFR. which presidential candidate John Kerry got cancelled in 93, 1994. largely siting proliferation concerns, even though the pyroelectric reprocessing supposedly isnt good for weapons grade enrichment.

IFR designs got upcycled into GE Hitachi's PRISM. which has kicked around for a bit. some.on off proposals for building it.

PRISM may become the (non power producing) basis for the Variable Test Reactor/VTR. an possible experimemtal reactor for DoE & research.

prism also seems to be very similar to what we see here. the decoupled power generating stage seems semi novel. notably missing from many fast nuetron reactor designs in this lineage: there doesnt seem to be onsite fuel reprocessing- the integral in ifr/integral fast reactor.

i'd love some details on what salient oieces have changed over the years. all seem to be a bit over 300MW. the IFR wikipedia is a good read? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_fast_reactor

> Linux can do something, which windows cannot || : eh, wo cares

Exactly.

We who have used Linux for a while have had fun a couple of times before asking if Windows is ready for our desktops and the answer was most often a resounding no.

Lately I've made do with just Windows and WSL and to be honest, it still isn't ready for my desktop.

Recently my laptop had overheated in the bag a number of times.

Knowing I would probably have some work to do to work around Microsofts new "bake your laptop feature" (also known as "modern standby") permanently, I dug into power settings.

The reason this has been more problematic recently became very clear immediately: some recent software update has managed to set action on closing lid to "Do nothing".

If this was Linux there would be a major outcry about how it is not ready for ordinary users.

For Windows it is an ordinary Tuesday.

Same goes for a lot of other things: waiting for half a minute before git returns (admittedly on a collection of 500 files, but still), it is just the way it is.

Still can't match apt-get or any other package manager? Deal with it.

30% longer compiles? You are welcome.

Ads on the logon screen of my work PC with Professional license? Of course. Same with ads in my start menu and even in Soltaire like in some cheap Android app. Yep.
Some extensions inject code into the page or alter the look of a page (e.g Stylus). All a bad actor has to do is grab a screenshot of the page (which can be done with JS) and single you out specifically for using a certain style. Stay away from extensions that inject code, since that can be sniffed from third party trackers and single you out.

Also: if you're dedicated enough, you can always view the source of addons you don't trust and see what they do behind the scenes. I once spotted an addon siphoning off browsing history to a remote server, and had to report it to Mozilla and had to escalate the issue to get it removed swiftly.

Some addons are 'recommended' by Mozilla and have been analyzed to ensure there are no privacy violations, so try and use those addons. There is also the issue of an addon's author getting contacted by shady characters wanting to buy the extension so they can abuse it and violate people's privacy.

> Don’t do a startup

Someday your kids might ask you "Why did you spend your whole life letting other people tell you what to do?"
$40k a year during retirement. That was the original argument.

With mortgage paid off and grown kids and social security supplement, $40k is plenty of money.
Prices in all of these cities have gone up. Halifax average sale went from $330k to $370k from 2019 to 2020.

People see if they don't buy in now, they may never be able to buy in, and are buying in, driving prices up further, causing more people to panic buy, etc.

It also leads speculators to buy houses because they see property giving incredible returns. Pay in many of these cities, or employment opportunities that pay well, are limited.

If they're relatively reasonable now at this pace they won't be for much longer.

Alberta is perhaps a little different because they seem to build new housing much faster than many other provinces.
We just used the OV2640 module itself (https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000036275403.html) which is pretty small. While we didn't actually include a little battery and perhaps something like an ESP-32 to control it, I'm pretty sure those could fit inside the plug if hollowed out.

The public key has to be known by the BMC, BIOS, OS.

You can read the public key from the TPM. If you're using the endorsement key, it comes with a certificate issued by the vendor.
There are also hidden costs to meetings in terms of lost time / productivity. If I have a half hour meeting at 1:30 then another one at 2:30, I can't do much with that half hour in between (except surf HN, of course.) If this happens a few times a day, most of the day is gone.

"Agile" and its "rituals" makes this even worse: standups, sprint planning, retros, on top of miscellaneous team status meetings. It's sickening how much time is wasted with this garbage.

That's exactly right...the Arabs also invaded sicily around the same time, but didn't get as much as a foothold as they did on Malta...maybe just because of population sizes, or the fact that mainland Italy down by current day calabria were also speaking the same language as the Sicilians, so there was a reserve for the language to continue on. So Sicilian (the language) has a lot of borrowing from Arabic (as well as greek) instead of being a dialect of arabic.
> Basic 2TB SATA SSDs are down to <$170 and 2TB NVMe drives are <$190.

You sure wouldn't want to use them in any write heavy zfs application however, because you'll kill them quick in their ultimate TB write endurance. Those are triple level and quad level cell SSDs. Double the dollar figures there for anything with a ultimate lifespan TB written figure that you would want to try in a ZFS array.
> Mind you, the more the price of Bitcoin goes up, the more energy miners burn on mining, so if Bitcoin actually grew to the size of the fiat economy we’d be talking about substantially more energy use.

You are not taking into account the diminishing block reward. More and more miners are chasing a dwindling supply of coin and will eventually only earn transaction fees and no block reward. This will put a natural dampener on more miners coming in (all other things being equal) and it will plateau.
> 1) Your degree of freedom is strictly a relationship between you and those who are able to legitimately use violence against you. Legitimate here meaning you have no means of recourse besides violence of your own.

I strongly disagree with this. "Strictly?" Oh my, no. There's so much more that goes into one's practical ability to exercise freedom. It's why a rich person—even if they were treated identically by the state—is far freer than a poor person. It's why removing hypothetical but mostly useless freedoms (say, the "freedom" to choose my health insurer) can in some cases truly increase how free I actually am (no longer have to spend all that time screwing around with health insurers; no longer as dependent on employment for healthcare, et c).
Likely. I tried the benchmark and saw runtimes of over 5 minutes before realizing that XDebug was active and in develop mode. Adding `-d xdebug.mode=off` dropped it to 26s. That was with `opcache.jit` in the (default?) `tracing` mode. Turning it off didn't change the runtime, which is a bit puzzling. This is all with PHP8 on macOS, although I tried 8.1RC in docker and saw similar results.

Something doesn't quite add up across everyone's results here, but the extremely slow result at the top of the thread is almost certainly a debugger slowing things down.

Edit: I was missing `opcache.jit_buffer_size`, and saw the runtime drop to under ten seconds with that correctly configured.
I wouldn't do anything, but I also wouldn't do a security driven marketing campaign. If someone thinks their root cert is safe it doesn't mean there isn't some other way to get access to user credentials that could allow compromise through some other avenue.

edit since I can't reply down level further: Yes I would be very careful about security related marketing and really consider if its necessary at all.
Who was this marketed to? I feel like I was watching a lot of stuff at the time, speaking at conferences etc, but I never came across BitConnect until “WuzawuzawuzawuzUuuuup” and it seemed everybody knew it was a scam by then. Also, these are extremely scammy, just repetition of telling people to give their money right in the lyrics. I find it hard to believe that first-world English speakers would be convinced by it.
I'm glad you got some value from my answer. Happy to help!

Thank you! We put a lot of effort into maintaining quality documentation, so I appreciate the compliment!

Our pricing is intended to scale with an application. $1 per 1,000 API requests / mo is expensive for an application with thousands of requests per second, but I would imagine an application with that kind of traffic would fall into our enterprise tier which provides volume discounts. We also have a nice free tier for testing out the product in some capacity at any stage and offer better deals for early stage startups.

Regarding rate limiting. It hasn't really been an issue for us yet. As an API product, the only users I would rate limit would be free tier customers who are generating tons of requests and degrading performance for paying customers (hasn't happened yet). For paying customers, I would probably want to scale our infrastructure to support the amount of traffic they're bringing in since they're paying.
This is good news. It does appear that the major Lemmy instances are ran by leftist groups politically and that most of their development comes from the left, which is their own right. I do wonder though if they will take actions at some point to try to censor instances that may disagree with them politically, whether it takes actions to simply disable federation with them or other actions in the software itself.
People often seem to care more about charismatic, cute animals, whether a dog or an elephant [0], than they do humans.

I suspect that this would change the calculus of the likelihood that a bad actor would be the representative of elephant-persons. While bad actors would likely be attracted to the role, I think there'd be greatly increased scrutiny of both the selection process and the role's activities due to elephantine charisma and the uniqueness of the situation.

In his income bracket the tax rate in Italy is only 7% higher. And you can find pretty nice places to live in Italy with a COL similar to the rural US.

> As an example, the proof-of-concept proc macro attack from the article could be addressed by running proc macros in a wasm sandbox. I know there’s been some exploratory work done towards that.

Sure, you can (and we absolutely should) sandbox the build process itself. I meant "running other people's code outside of a sandbox", and should have specified that.

The problem is that at some point you actually want to run the code you compiled, and then proc-macro exploits can still do whatever.

> hiding behind “fundamentally unsolvable problem” will get in the way pushing for the meaningful half-measures that offer some degree of real-world protection.

I didn't say they were unsolvable, I said that solving them requires someone or something to review the code. That's the only way you can gain trust that code does what it says it does. I even suggested some possible "meaningul half-measures" that could be implemented.
$12000 saved per month for seven years in the stock market S&P500 FZROX or VTSAX will give you ballpark 1-1.5MM inflation-adjusted (10% return yoy - 2% inflation) this is average tho, results could be much higher/lower...

This of course isn't going to be enough anymore due to the US housing market in big cities, but could be enough if you work remote and live in a smaller town or something. We could also have inflation problems, 6% cpi hike is a lot.
Why isn't that the default?
Alright now, let's keep this "family friendly"! :p
Taiwan was autocratic until merely a generation ago (and holds the questionable achievement for the longest sustained period of martial law by any government), in South Korea half of its democratic elected heads of state are in prison, and Japan has been governed virtually by the same party since the post-war era.

They have the rule of law, they have elections, all of those countries are characterized by, in reality, a very monocultural, depolitized, bureaucratic system of government. Live in Singapore in reality is no more or less 'democratic' than live in Japan or Taiwan or SK.

I'm not sure it's actually possible, for varying reasons.

Even if we ignore that cargo can be used with other version control systems I see some problems:

- Validation must be done server side as everything the client does can be manipulated.

- So the server would need to be able to make sure that some signature is valid for some commit.

- But you don't upload commits, you uploads a sub-set of the checkout produced by the combination of the current commit and previous commits.

- Uploading all of the diff of the current (or previous) commit is a no-go for various reasons (size, leaking internal code etc.).

- Similar even if it would work, the repository on GitHub could still contains different code, the signature might not match, but who is checking the signature? The reviewer manually?

What you maybe could do is e.g. signing the uploaded archive which in combination with e.g. a Yubikey would make it harder for attackers to upload malicious packages (if the authors aren't the attackers).

You also could include some version id (e.g. git hash) in the signature, then review tools could check that the uploaded code matches the GitHub repository.

But really the most important thing is to review the code you actually use (e.g. what is uploaded to crates.io) and not what you belive you probably should be using.

"In the passage I have just read from Tolstoy, the young second lieutenant Boris Dubretskoi discovers that there exist in the army two different systems or hierarchies. The one is printed in some little red book and anyone can easily read it up. It also remains constant. A general is always superior to a colonel, and a colonel to a captain. The other is not printed anywhere. Nor is it even a formally organised secret society with officers and rules which you would be told after you had been admitted. You are never formally and explicitly admitted by anyone. You discover gradually, in almost indefinable ways, that it exists and that you are outside it; and then later, perhaps, that you are inside it."
