> I appreciate the software development costs, but £25 for a single node locked license is steep. I'd like to see that extended to at least a couple of PCs + a laptop as many advanced users (who can regex :) ) are likely to have at least a couple of PCs round the house in these work from home days.

Ignoring the cost, Directory Opus is one of the few pieces of software that I have not encountered licensing issues with. Need to reinstall Windows, the certificate is applied without a fuss. Need to transfer the license to a new computer, the certificate is applied without a fuss. Using an old version, the certificate is applied without a fuss and disabling the update manager means it won't pester you to upgrade. The only time I was grumpy with their support policies was when I had to upgrade to update SSH support.
Is it just me, or are most of the results in that paper rather obvious and not very useful in general, outside of social media posts. In Facebook posts, it's not surprising that men talk more about computer games and sport, and swear more. Women using more emotion words and men more object words, is again fairly obvious.

If one took an academic text, a short story, a novel, a blog post, or some other more careful piece of writing, it is unclear whether this kind of classifier would work as well.
I remember seeing GNUstep on Linux distributions 20 years ago, along with early KDE and other options. I appreciated the aesthetics of it at the time, but - can someone explain its benefits today, and why one would prefer using it?

Actually, I'm not even clear what I would replace with GNUstep, exactly.
I think this encapsulates really well a big part of the current NFT market: buy now a claim of something that doesn't exist, but will surely exist (right? it has to because it's metaverse and everything is possible), so you can flip it down the line because it's cheap now, so let FOMO sink in.

We're in the realm of fantasy. People are buying into fantasy.

awk is one of those underrated tools I always wanted to learn.

I still remember when I started working as a sysadmin at 19, the greybeard UNIX guy taught me how to vim, and he told me awk was as important as knowing vim, pointing to some huge AWK manual he had on the shelf, one of those with the animal in the cover.

This was 15 years ago, I know vim, but awk still eludes me.

would love to see some concrete examples. because we tried building open networks and they get sybil attacked or spammed, and introducing a token to add cost to the transactions on p2p networks did seem to help their security. People dont seem to like the social aspects of that tokenisation, so whats the suggestion? Whats the next step? Is the future you see more like spotify or more like funkwhale or more like audius? How are you delivering it to the general population? How can we contribute?

Those of us working in the web3/crypto space are interested in the same values as the poster has: local, personal, private, self owned, p2p, permissionless. We are looking for ways to work on those things and provide infrastructure for others to build on.

It is increasingly clear that lots of people don't like the money/token/asset ideas of the crypto theyve seen. So do we just give up hacking on money? because i remember it was the deep distrust in existing money systems was why this all took off in the first place.

Or is money just something sacred we aren't allowed to play with? is it morally wrong? Why is it that pictures of the Queen in my wallet on pieces of paper somehow the best form of money? wouldnt you rather trade pictures of dogs in space? One of those is way more fun and doesnt bow down to a culture of inherited power.

Or is it just the mass speculation, and mania in the public which you dont like?(fuelled by abusive relationships with money and desperation to escape everyday life, which seems a bigger problem than crypto tbh). Is that because you are worried about the impact it has on the vulnerable? Could we try explore efforts in speculation-resistant currencies and trust networks like https://joincircles.net

And one point id highlight is that efficiency is often over prioritised, and resilience is more important to the survival of a network. Hosting private local nodes will never be as efficient as datacenters, so is efficiency really your priority? If everyone used Mastodon would that be as efficient as Twitter?
Make the system strong and resilient, then as efficient as possible given the first constraint. First you make something that can survive, then optimise it.

I wonder how HTML would have developed if it would have been a 'compile target' (via static site generators) right from the start instead of being mainly written by hand. I bet that CSS could have been a lot simpler (similar to how RISC can be "simpler" than CISC if it no longer needs to support special instructions that make writing assembly code by hand more convenient).

I think there's an idea that if someone is thought to have a certain set of beliefs they should be refused basic services such as the ability to store/transfer/receive value and the ability to earn a living. So if something enables them to have these basic services, it's a grave threat.

According to the president of the US, the ideology is the deadliest threat to the US. So keeping money out of the hands of people thought to be sympathetic to the cause is vital.

It seems like the differences in word choice are strongly driven by the topics people choose to talk about on Facebook. Besides obvious cases like "shopping" vs. "xbox" there's also more subtle things like

> we noticed ‘my wife’ and ‘my girlfriend’ emerged as strongly correlated in the male results, while simply ‘husband’ and ‘boyfriend’ were most predictive for females. Investigating the frequency data revealed that males did in fact precede such references to their opposite-sex partner with ‘my’ significantly more often than females. On the other hand, females were more likely to precede ‘husband’ or ‘boyfriend’ with ‘her’ or ‘amazing’ and a greater variety of words, which is why ‘my husband’ was not more predictive than ‘husband’ alone. Furthermore, this suggests the male preference for the possessive ‘my’ is at least partially due to a lack of talking about others' partners.

To disentangle the effect of topic choice from word choice, you'd probably need a controlled study with fixed writing prompts.

As someone who is greatly in favor of composition over inheritance, I don't agree - or at least my experiences don't point that way.

Both Rust and Go have had medium sized warts and/or boilerplate around errors, especially if you need control flow to depend on the error. In Python I've never felt that way.

Not sure I can put my finger on it, because any trivial example would be fine in either paradigm. I think it has to do with the forced/unnatural upfront decision "is this error a type or an interface" that may change later on, as a type might need to be refactored to an interface. There's probably one or two other reasons I can't think of right now.
Dumb question, but shouldn't it be the opposite? The lower the compression level, the faster the CPU can process the data, making storage the bottleneck. Higher compression level -> CPU becomes the bottleneck.

Limiting to what IPs/domains/ports an application connects to might be useful. But blocking unknown binaries is where this apps really shine (reverse shells, miners...), not because they stop them, but because they'll tell you what app tried to establish a connection, where it is on the disk, etc.

Are you maybe referring to Glacier "vaults" (the original Glacier API)? With the old Glacier Vault API you had to initiate an "inventory-retrieval" job with an SNS topic etc. It took days. Painful.

But these days you can store objects in an S3 bucket and specify the storage class as "GLACIER" for "S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval" (or "GLACIER_IR" for S3 Glacier Immediate Retrieval or "DEEP_ARCHIVE" for S3 Glacier Deep Archive). You can use the regular S3 APIs. We haven't seen any rate limiting on this approach.

The only difference from the "online" storage classes like STANDARD, STANDARD_IA, etc is that downloading an object with GLACIER/GLACIER_IR/DEEP_ARCHIVE storage class requires first making it downloadable by calling the S3 "restore" API on it, and then waiting until it's downloadable (1-5 minutes for GLACIER_IR, 3-5 hours for GLACIER, and 5-12 hours for DEEP_ARCHIVE).

Or better yet, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and he has is own opinion since he's being associated with some NFT project - so at bare minimum someone briefed him about it, best case scenario, he actually studied it enough to have an educated opinion.

You don't need to know how to program smart contracts to have an opinion on NFTs, and the guy has been around and knows what fads and trends look like, and probably has dealt with these types of concepts from the whole Matrix culture around it.

Plus we all know NFTs survive on hype, and he knows how hype works.

Does this make him an opinion leader?

I don't think so, but he does have an opinion apparently and thinks people shouldn't take these NFTs seriously.
There are no bundled "themes" per se, but it's not very difficult to configure the colors. If you don't feel like doing that I'm sure you can find people sharing their config on the DOpus community forum.
Yes, but the compression process can be split into two components:

1. modelling (you convert data to symbols and predict probabilities of seeing each symbol)

2. entropy coding (convert symbols + probabilities to minimum number of bits)

The second stage is relatively simple, and basically solved. We went from Huffman's approximation to Arithmetic Coding which is theoretically ideal, and now got ANS which is close to ideal and pretty fast too.

The modelling part is indeed a completely open problem, and at this point as much art as science.
I'm aware, but I don't know if there are any clear-cut solutions. I'm honestly not too knowledgeable on the issues surrounding MEV in the first place, beyond the obvious issues with censorship and the power large node operators wield. Block proposer/builder separation is one step, but it obviously doesn't help with the fundamental issues surrounding MEV [1].

you could theorize that, you could also theorize that its not just hormonal and a combination of other things on the X chromosome, which trans women do not have. so its too limiting to attempt to isolate just hormones.

the babies are the ones emitting the chemicals, we would just need them to bind to us to trigger any number of processes.

we can have chromosomal sexual dimorphism on the olfactory glands, within our lungs, on our skin, somewhere deeper in the pipeline, different gut microbes, you name it.

even if we desired trans women to have these features merged in retroactively, we still need to study the cis women created via selective pressures to understand what exactly the features are

this requires natural born females responding about their experience, so it would be counterproductive for trends to get in the way of choosing the accurate sample population
This seems to me very worth looking into
IANAL but the few cases I'm aware off have all been thrown out. The hacker tool provision in question starts out from a position of intent [0] (which was part of why a high profile case where a journalist sued themselves was thrown out). I'm honestly not aware of a case where this was successfully applied in court since it's inception in 2007. I might have missed some smaller stuff over the years but as long as you're not actively advertising your make-pretend "dual use" malware exclusively on the dark net you'd likely be fine. Germany's supreme court has relatively early on argued on a pretty strict interpretation of the paragraph (according to various publications related to [1] back around 2010).

There have apparently been a few search warrants that referenced it but otherwise it's pretty much the toothless tiger you'd expect from a country that relies on potentially "dual use" software the paragraph would likely apply to in wider interpretations (or at least seems to be in constant talks with spyware manufacturers for their own executive branches).

It's not just far-right either. Cryptocurrency, despite its appearance of full traceability and transparency, provides an incredibly easy method for money laundering in the long term and has been used to do so by every side. Many communist countries utilize cryptocurrency to perform transactions outside international trade law, bypassing blockades and sanctions normally enforced by banks, foreign offices, and physical blockade. Criminals of course love the damn thing, hackers especially. The technology is good but it has so many bad uses that it's still a real ethical gray area for a lot of people. Not to mention the countless scams profiting off people who don't know any better and literally advertised and peddled by modern mass media.

Tons of java tools did nothing, until tickets started appearing that X does not work on my dev env.
> It's like someone decided "async is cool!" and no one told them that interrupting the user is bad.

A ton of application are doing that now. I think it has become the prevalent paradigm in many places, as a bad application of optimistic event handling.

I imagine the devs thinking "It will surely load fast enough so it's not an issue", or "we can't block user interaction until everything's loaded, when the files they need might stay displayed at the same place the whole time" etc.

It's particularly bad with task managers loading task lists asynchronously, when some of the first items might only be loaded last, and the list continuously moves top and down while it's loading.

Languages used to be so much more fluid before the invention of printing. Now printing and primary schools have slowed the process down considerably, as well as destroyed a lot of smaller dialects that never made it to printed literature. Same for gender dialects, I presume.

You could argue though that printing and schools are part of the human evolution.
The PC market has found a local maxima that prevents it from getting there.

You need the CPU, GPU, motherboard, and RAM to be one product shipped by one company, but instead you've got a CPU from Intel, a GPU from AMD/Nvidia, a motherboard from the PC manufacturer, and off the shelf RAM.

"Gamers" want an Intel CPU because of the branding (although this is shifting towards AMD now), they want a particular graphics card because of branding, they may even care about the specific motherboard and/or RAM.

Apple are able to do this console-like integration and performance because their target market don't care enough about each individual component, the Mac is the product and the brand they get behind. PS5 owners aren't buying it because of the brand of CPU.
The irony of this is that with a faster terminal you'll be even less likely to actually read the data scrolling by. And the solution is very simple: Update a text buffer in one thread and render updates as fast as possible on another. If something barfs massive amounts of text you won't ever see all of it as not all of it will get rendered as it'll have "scrolled past" before the renderer gets to it. But it won't matter because it will be in scrollback if configured and you'd never have been able to read it as it passes by anyway, even with much faster rendering.

> Apple is ensuring that everything developers need will be ARM compatible

Let's rather say that Apple helps developers realize that the vast majority of open source dev tools they need have been working seamlessly on arm platforms for decades thanks to the work of linux and bsd distros.
