IETF QUIC is significantly different from gQUIC that Google developed. QUIC was standardized after a long period of discussions in an open forum. The primary author of the spec doesn't even work for Google anymore.
MS acquired Peer5 for Teams recently so I imagine improvement on the horizon.

I built an nginx-rtmp oss project a few years ago and it worked well—simulcasted out to Twitch and YouTube and saw comparable latency (YouTube: 3 2 1 ispooge live is faster). I used a dedicated encoder box, recorded and proxied via my raspi3 and served from home fiber behind CloudFlare CDN with caching to prevent much origin traffic, 2sec HLS chunks were like 1-2Mb at 720p30.
Completely agree – search is absurdly poor considering the resources available to any solo developer these days. The mobile app is generally usable, if all you want to do is doomscroll without interacting with a single piece of content. Even normal interface interactions induce ridiculous UI delays that I haven't seen in any level of software product for years.

Ceddit was really good for r/askhistorians threads. You could read interesting takes on the questions that did not pass the mods snob filter.

It hasn't worked for some time.
They've also made some (or most?) subreddits unavailable on the mobile site. It's obviously a hostile attempt to force people into the mobile app.
We pulled my son (type 1 diabetic) out of public school and into homeschooling a month prior to the public schools going all virtual due to the pandemic last year. He's finally vaccinated, but we're in no hurry to send him back (he loves that he can get his work done in 2-3 hours - this is a 9 year old self-directed kid, admittedly a rare breed.) Our daughter is in a small charter high school (~400 students) that decided they were going to be "flexible" about mask wearing to appease parents who didn't want their rights infringed. Last week her school went full virtual again until the new year because several staff members (including the principal) contracted COVID and exposed (according to their contract tracing) most of the staff & half of the students.

As a parent the only plus I see from an in-person education is the socialization aspect (which can be both positive and negative.) I'm fortunate enough to work from home, so I don't need school to be my babysitting service. Despite living in a good town with "highly rated" schools, I've found the middle schools & up education system to be quite lacking.
> I read every paper carefully, and this was very innovative system to protect your privacy IF we compare to existing CSAM solutions

I did the same and I agree with you with one small caveat. For someone like me, who does not use iCloud or any other cloud service, on device scanning seriously compromises my privacy. I want to be clear that I am not doing anything that is currently illegal in my home country, but that could change under a more oppressive government. I know my opinions would definitely get me in trouble in some countries if I happened to live there.

> Of course the best option is to not scan at all, but that is not really option.

Why isn't it an option? I know of no legal requirement anywhere that mandates Apple has to scan fro CSAM.
Oh, so they are! So what happened here, IYI: I did a paranoiac double-check that both domains resolved and showed content before commenting, but my (...)/.compact result was with smaller text/more "squeeze". I thought it odd but it made sense because, y'know, "compact."

Turns out I had at some point set an 80% zoom while visiting there on this particular browser. Sorry for the confusion!
Wasn't the last meaningful AAD outage in February sometime? This was an outage that lasted on the order of an hour, outside of normal US business hours.

I think the crazy uptime we normally get from the cloud has seriously skewed people's perceptions of how things used to be on-prem. I personally remember when my Fortune 50 former employer had multiple multi-day email outages in one year.

Apple said nothing at all this would be the case. It's pure speculation from people on the internet.

Oh please do, its absolutely horrid. How are they even keeping up with Firefox security updates? The only conclusion I could come to, when investigating this, was that they aren't, and when I asked the company in a comment on their public blog how they were handling it they deleted my comment.

I was hoping Lightphone would be a strong contender for a non-smartphone but the reviews so far have been mixed and there seems to be a few serious issues (e.g. battery life), also there's no 2FA which honestly is one of the main things I use my phone for these days (not everything supports hardware 2FA)
You said:

> Static typing is net 0 cost. We don't need to be "honest" static typing is obviously not free you need to think of types. The real revelation was that the cost of dynamic languages far exceeds the cost of a statically typed language.

And my point is the static typed languages we do have didn't save us anything in terms of cost.

I recommend maybe you read the hackernews posting guidelines before you post again.

The new design gets worse every time I try it. There's always a new thing trying to lure me into a conversion funnel. Latest attempt: I had to ad block the little bouncing coin thing in the top right just to focus. Then I was hit with auto-playing ads on the main page. That was as far as I got.

I would like to understand what schools actually do these days? I have to send my kids to separate Math lessons, - so they do not really teach Math. I have to send them to separate English lessons, - so they don’t teach English well either. All schools seemingly focus on is SEL, with highly questionable content. So now I need to monitor what schools tell my kids in class and then try to mitigate the damage. So what do we need these schools for, exactly?
Reddit has me on some sort of ban that causes accounts to be permanently suspended within 24 hours of account creation regardless of what I do with that account, even if it's just make it and leave it alone. Also, anyone that comes to my home and connects to my wifi and then their reddit account will find their account permanently suspended within 24 hours. I've reached out to them multiple times to see what is happening and what can be done about it but get a boilerplate "your ban will be upheld" message from them with a link to the content rules so I can "prevent future bans".

I had over 40k useless internet points on that site before the ban and an 11 year old account but they refuse to help. Oh well.
There’s kerning issues in the capitals too, try “WAVE” or “HILLTOP”
This is not good. The only reason I am still using Reddit is because of the old.reddit.com interface. Feels like an IPO will make them retire it at some point.
Does anyone know of good Java tutorials/courses that go all the way from basics to more advanced concepts like Beans (and beyond)? It would really help because I need to learn Spring soon.
> Any parent who have home schooled during the pandemic will tell you that most teachers are worth their weight in gold. It's not remotely anywhere near as easy as you think it is.

I've been homeschooling my oldest this year. I first started teaching him to read last year while he was in Pre-K at a parochial school, and decided to just continue teaching him this year rather than do the public school thing. It's honestly been a joy.

I love his curiosity and his joy learning new things and his excitement when he does it. Yes, there are days where he's just in "a mood" and doesn't want to do school, but those are also times where I can talk with him father-and-son about integrity and hard work and discipline, and empathize with him over the fact that, in fact, some of the things we have to learn are boring. The time I spend teaching him is something I wouldn't trade for the world. I'm just lucky I have the opportunity - I wish all families could.
Since our struggles (starting in 2016) for this ; feature sets on mobile browsers have improved -- and we've learned more too -- we've mostly dropped "App" type support and have it 99% Bowser based. The only thing we're not able to get now -- but also no longer NEED -- is tight integration with Bluetooth IR/NFC/RFID type scanners ( the Socket Mobile is very popular in our universe -- https://store.socketmobile.com/products/durascan-d750-univer... )

As for Android -- Google is also Cannabis hostile but side-loading onto Android is a breeze (by comparison to iOS)

The lack of energy storage is the issue. If the utilities could pay users to deploy the energy when they needed it there wouldn’t be an issue. The problem is solar energy peaks and there is nothing that can be done with that energy because power plants take time to bring on and off line. Natural Gas is relatively quick to bring online, but it still takes time and money.

We no longer have a renewable energy production challenge. If we wanted to we could produce more than enough energy with wind and solar energy cheaply. The problem is we don’t have good affordable energy storage solutions.
Yeah, 10-15% of users opting out of anything is incredibly high.
This is the thing, i hate their new ui... and if ever they get rid of their 'old' ui I would leave reddit. Their "New UI" was brought in in 2018, and to me was like a digg moment.

To me, Hackernews is what Reddit was 10 years ago, just without subreddits. Clean top quality content.

Hmm.

> Past research on Louisiana’s school-voucher program came to a bleak conclusion: Students who used the program to transfer to a private school saw their test scores plummet.

> A new study complicates that narrative, finding some good—or at least, less bad—news about the closely watched program.

> The research shows that, for students who received a voucher at the middle or end of elementary school, there were no statistically significant effects on their math or reading test scores by the third year in the program. That’s a boon for voucher advocates who have argued against judging a program by its initial impacts.

They deliberately cut the results off in the second year because the study was conducted by those whose livelihoods are threatened by vouchers.

A number of more religious states (Utah, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, etc.) have sustainable or near-sustainable birth rates. It’s not like these are exactly third world countries. And most of this “education” isn’t in anything real anyway.

Insofar as a culture is only sustainable through arbitrage—importing people from religious societies (Latin America in the case of the United States, the Muslim world in case of Western Europe)—that seems indicative of a “problem” to me.
I seriously doubt you can prove that.
> Multiple prosecutors (Ortiz, Heymann), the judge (Gorton), and institutions (MIT, JSTOR) wantonly pursued an extreme perversion of justice in full knowledge of Swartz's mental state.

What is JSTOR doing on that list? After Swartz was identified and arrested, JSTOR said that they would not pursue a civil case against him, and they were not interested in seeing him criminally prosecuted. As far as they were concerned the downloading had stopped and the matter was done.
The second old.reddit.com goes offline, I'll probably never visit the website again. I haven't used the new version once (what is it 4 years old now?) - they toyed with literally the perfect UX for what? For a PM to have something to do?

> Per-student spending has more than tripled since the 1960s and stands at over $15k/yr on average[1]. New York spends more than $38k/yr (!) per student, which boggles the mind.

Note that I specified teachers. A lot of that money goes to things like administrative overhead (often required by lawmakers) and support services for students — a single aide for a special needs kid costs far more than $15k. We run a lot of social programs through schools here which would be separate services in other countries which complicates these comparisons.

I mention that because I know a number of teachers here in DC. The public school pay here is high compared to the national average but not when you look at the cost of living, and most jobs which require multiple degrees but have inflexible schedules and long hours pay considerably more.
As I've pointed out a few times now, forking upstream is not a long term or sustainable solution.

Rust – Integrating Tokio Axum with SeaORM
The funny thing about the r/all porn removal is it's only gone if you ARE logged in. If you aren't logged in and hit r/all the porn will appear once you get to the 4th or 5th page. It isn't nearly as prevalent as it was and I haven't seen it hit the front page as it did years ago but it's certainly there, I suspect to entice people to make accounts.
Is it possible to have children without succumbing to the lifestyle of a common parents?
2015 is long time ago, hence the purpose of the article. From my research, I think at least 3 things changed:

1. We are getting much better at sensing the environment and construct realistic representations of these, mostly due to the advances in deep learning and interests in augmented reality. Best of all, many of these solutions are open-source;

2. Comparing to the onboard computations available today, I won't call dynamic walking a "computational expensive" task any more. We have Jetson AGX Xavier, which can do teraflops of floating-point computation;

3. We are better at battery and electric actuators.

I think that today's humanoid, even made by universities, can probably perform much better in the same Darpa challenge with reasonable budget (1m or so).
I suggest you learn some history so you can understand the manner in which "subversives" and suspected Communists were treated in the 1960s. The FBI and was kidnapping, assassinating and doing a variety of other nasty things to "subversives" and suspected Communists. But we are to believe that Oswald, who openly defected to the Soviet Union, was suspected of giving Soviets classified information about the U2 spy plane, and renounced his US citizenship in the US embassy would be welcomed back to the US without sanction or retribution?

>In 1971 in San Diego, the FBI financed, armed, and controlled an extreme right-wing group of former members of the Minutemen anti-communist paramilitary organization, transforming it into a group called the Secret Army Organization that targeted groups, activists, and leaders involved in the Anti-War Movement, using both intimidation and violent acts.[10][11][12]

>The FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception; however, covert operations under the official COINTELPRO label took place between 1956 and 1971. Many of the tactics used in COINTELPRO are alleged to have seen continued use including; discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; illegal violence; and assassination.[13][14][15][16] According to a Senate report, the FBI's motivation was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order".[17]

I experienced a somewhat comical bug where the Reddit recap chose my most downvoted comment as my "Comment to end all comments" (probably because its absolute value was greatest). Seems unlikely that this was an intentional easter egg (it was accompanied with "Out of all the comments you made in 2021, this one sure got a lot of upvotes").

Also, I just discovered that the built-in screenshot generator for Reddit recap is broken as it only captures the rendered portion of each card, leaving out the scrollable overflow.

This case alone offers a strong testament to the poor quality of most Reddit features.
That's about improving the regulatory process, not sure what's your point?
Using the On-Board Bluetooth on the Raspberry Pi 4 for Communication
Reddit is operating on the shakiest house of cards, and their investors are being swindled, along with their advertisers. For one of many examples, they're grossly inflating viewership numbers on Reddit Live by injecting the top broadcast into the front page of 25,000 users every ~30 seconds -- largely against their will[1] or without knowledge[2] -- and then selling those as "video views" to record labels, Adobe, League Of Legends and others. The administrators and moderators have repeatedly lied about this to the community, going as far as claiming they "don't even have the ability to manipulate the top broadcast mechanism," and yet they have a list of streamers who receive special treatment, along with the paid ads (which are not marked as ads, and instead offered as "user content.")

A year ago, they even implemented a follow mechanism so that streamers' fans could get push notifications when they went live. But when the admins decided to make manual manipulation of the top broadcast mechanism a priority, they removed the notifications for Reddit Live altogether because it was too easy for the Reddit community to upvote "riff raff" into the top spot. They changed their story about why bringing back notifications "was impossible, but we're working on it" a dozen times or more. In reality, they just need certain broadcasts to receive the most views to generate the most money through their awarding system.

On top of hundreds of lies at this point, they've been actively banning anyone who discusses this. They ban streamers who ask questions about how the ranking mechanism works, including an autistic streamer with a large following on the site, simply for making note of how certain streamers get special treatment. They even banned a user for making a notifications replacement and discussing why they made it.

In fact, if you get banned from the r/pan subreddit for asking any of these questions (which happens often), you have to be careful about the content you interact with on Reddit as a whole. Since they forcefully inject the Reddit Live top broadcast into every desktop page view (and most mobile ones) without actually labeling it as r/pan content, if you click on that broadcast and vote or make a comment, they ban you from the site.

It's completely out of control, and that's how every level of the site operates these days. The influxes of cash and IPO hyping paint a rosy picture, but peeling back just one layer of the Reddit onion quickly reveals a company which is flailing, and desperately grasping at anything that will help maintain the charade until crossing the IPO finish line.

The fundamental MVC pattern is unchanged!

It would all be very familiar!

Just fire up a new project and off you go!

As for authentication, if you want a ready to go solution, then Devise is still current and pretty much the default!

Development of Gems like Attachinary are now deprecated in favour of Rails' Active Storage.

I'm not an expert, but I still dip in and out, and find I can still get by with the basics I learnt back on v3!

YMMV :-)
For the capability and who they're charging, frankly, that sounds cheap. For an example of what a nation state is willing to spend to target a single individual, a hellfire missile costs about $150k and doesn't generate intel in the process.
I understand they want to set some sort of precedent, but good luck collecting a damages in a civil action judgment from a bunch of people who don't show up to contest a US court case, who are Russian citizens, remain domestically in Russia, and don't travel internationally (unless they're dumb).
Dunno about a write up, but out of the ashes of AI Dungeon, NovelAI was born.
