... hear back from upstream that your fix, developed against version X (that you pinned and use), does not apply to HEAD. Pull HEAD and realize there have been major changes which conflict with your platform, use case, or any number of your other dependencies.

Sometimes you can get away with just depending, and that’s nice, but other times there are strong reasons to embed. At that point, you own the code, and can actually do the things you need to do. (Of course, it follows that you own the code - and need to then actually do the things you need to do.)

Both approaches have their advantages, and both have potential for technical debt. Which approach offers the most advantage for the least debt will depend on the individual circumstance; I don’t feel that you can really advocate for one over the other in a general sense.

Aws and cloudflare outages have taken down a significant portion of the web. No, the web isn't 100% centralized, but what percent is centralized to a small handful of players?
It is an arbitrary but also a useful distinction to avoid the naturalistic fallacy.

I think the author is saying: "decentralized internet discussion system", not "decentralized internet".

Reddit and Hacker News are centralized. Usenet was decentralized, the usenet servers were run by various companies (many different ISPs across the globe) and they synced up with each other via a p2p protocol.
and what was the proof of these existing designs? peer review?

There is nothing new under the sun. What matters is what is /useful/ and that seems to be the focus for Zig, to be useful. The proven design it tries to improve on is C.

I have never heard of this maker vs manager schedule thing before. It really resonates with me. I just finished a rotation as a primary contributor on leave from my manager role and was having a real hard time telling people I had to cancel meetings from my normal job bc I couldn’t switch mental gears like that. This link is so very true it’s scary…I had been wondering if anyone was good at doing both, and if I could exercise my brain muscles to be able to switch between the two during the day. Anyone have any luck at that? I feels really really hard.
So true. IP address should have been like phone numbers. The public should have known what they were and how to use them for 2-way communications. I tell non-technical people about this all the time and get blank stares. It didn't occur to me that IPv6 could fix it. I sure hope you're right about that -- what a glorious day it would be if everyone gained control of their computers' networking abilities.
I don't suppose you are suggesting that nobody was able to live a decent life 12 miles out of town until we had cars, are you?

But I suppose your point is more like: we've built lots of completely car-dependent situations in which people live very far from core necessities in life with no way to get them except by car. And that's clearly true. But the answer isn't teleporters or biking in -20 to got 12 miles. The answer is to stop living so far from essential resources. And that doesn't have to mean everyone moving to crazy-dense living around existing resources like grocery stores. It could just as well (better really) mean modest density in mixed areas where we have more medium-size grocery stores so that more people are close to them.

I'm not suggesting individuals just live in car DEPENDENT contexts and then forgo the thing you DEPEND on. I'm suggesting we have drastically fewer car-dependent places.
The pirated sites are often streaming sites similar to Netflix. Search for a movie, click play. Quality of service does vary, but the catalogue tends to be much bigger.

As you pointed out, "sticking to one platform" isn't an option because the platform most likely won't have the content you're actually looking for. So step 1 is figuring out which platform that is. Step 2 is probably logging in if you don't keep persistent cookies, and that assumes you're subscribed. By this time your movie is already playing if you take the "alternative" approach.

Even if you didn't mind shelling out 50 EUR/month + whatever extra per-movie surcharges Disney+ charges, the balkanization would still cause significant friction.
For what it is
I'm not sure if I understand the question.

Nutrition education, access to healthy foods and the means to purchase them would be prevention. Then for treatment, long term dieting and exercise as well as systems to support that.
I am a backend engineer by trade, and I have been trying to learn me a little React because I decided I should learn new tech (not the stuff I use on a daily basis, which is Python) on side projects. So the backend is being done in Rust, and frontend is using React.

I had this moment where I thought "well, I need Typescript, because I want nicely typed interfaces and contracts, and I need React". Turns out it's not easy like that. To cobble everything together you need a proper template for webpack. and there's Babel and that also needs to be caressed in the right React-y way. You can't just "hop in". You have to use cookiecutter-styled tools to bootstrap because the whole thing just got so complex so that even a Hello World styled project needs a mindboggling amount of tools all orchestrated and plugged into each other in the right way or it all blows up in your face. Also, there are more than one cookiecutter-styled tools and you have to choose the right one. "But don't fret you can always run eject to see the whole machinery inside".

It's saddening and tiring.

Shared e-bikes and e-scooters are some of the most environmentally friendly transportation options in existence; they cause something like orders of magnitude lower emissions than personal automobiles. Framing them as "worse for the environment" by using a dubious baseline, really isn't productive
LastPass does send out an email every time that there is a new login attempt with the correct password from a new ip address. An included link from that email must be followed for the ip to be approved. Then, you can actually login from that ip. (and yes, that's annoying re: travel/ip changes...)

When a wrong password is entered, no email is sent.

I tested the above (using a new ip with correct password -> email; wrong password -> no email) and it also aligns with what my "Account History" shows. There's a list of bad password attempts, and there's a separate list of "Login Verification Email Sent" i.e. the password was correct (presumably -- or maybe its hash -- that's one theory going around) but it was from a new, un-verified-so-far ip.
I made my first "professional" web0 page 25 years ago.

I made twenty of them, in fact. Each of the 20 webpages belonged to a Computer Science professor in the CS department I was in. I got paid a grand total of $800 to do that. Of that, I paid $200 in rent to my landlord for my room and utilities. My monthly groceries were always under $100. The remaining $500 I diligently sent home to my poor mom & dad back in India.

Of the 20 professors, one(two?) has died. Few have retired. Some have quit academia for industry. The rest have replaced my web0 page with the latest & greatest web2, web2++ pages.

But one stubborn professor continues to hang on to the web0 page I made for him !!! When I made that page, he was an assistant professor. He became associate professor, then full professor, then Dean! Here is his web0 page I made for him 25 years ago - https://www.unf.edu/~wkloster/
Why in the world do you need proof from me?

the proof is that video cards and monitors and TVs either simply don't support that bandwidth, or they're so expensive that they're essentially hand made.

That's how you know, you look at the market and see what's available, and what it costs. People would buy the heck out of this stuff if it were possible to make it work with common, sloppy, reusable connectors like HDMI or DisplayPort. The fact of the matter is that it isn't possible to make this stuff with removable connectors, yet.

That's why you see very high DPI displays in applications where there isn't any need for high cycle-count connectors, or only single-use connectors well before you see the same displays with high-cycle count connectors.

or they use display compression to fake it.

but what do I know? you did some google searches.
IPFS is still super slow, but can work well for raw HTML sites like this. For example http://vitalik.eth.link is hosted on IPFS. It's a simple text blog and is pretty fast.
Don't mistake being effusive with ranting.
We already regulate where cars are allowed to go (e.g. which direction in which lane on which streets). All anyone means around "banning" cars is to have changes (reductions) in which places we allow cars. There's no increase in authoritarianism with that.
That doesn't mean the web isn't decentralized, that means people have gravitated towards a single vendor for reasons I won't get into.
If Lastpass was zero knowledge then this wouldn't make sense. The master password or some derivative of it should decrypt your passwords on the local device.

Five years ago, I got a 40-inch 4k@60Hz for under $400. I recently got a 43-inch 4k@60Hz for $450. The new one is lighter and somewhat more color accurate. I don't get the obsession with small pixels; my eyes prefer if I stand/sit a bit further from a bigger monitor, and it's great for pairing/teaching.
It reminds me of the recent articles saying “is this crazy weather climate change, or not?” as if we shouldn’t direct all of our resources into slowing the destruction of the planet.

That is odd. Yet a strict check against “hulu.com” is also included, and YouTube is checked for “.youtube.com” and “youtube.com”. Perhaps this fix was to prevent malicious behavior, so they included anyone who might be phishing or abusing the API in some way? I think someone would have to dig into the quirk itself to find out more.
IPv6 deployment removing the not giving consumers static IPs argument is a pipe dream. Many ISP's that deploy IPv6 don't guarantee you'll get the same prefix and in many cases you don't whenever your CPE loses connection even for just an instant. There is zero economic incentive for them to do that so why would they.

It's a bit bizarre to complain about the pipe symbol IMNHO (as a user of Norwegian kbd layout, where åæø/ÆØÅ takes up prime estate) - without pipe you can't use a posix shell at all - so if you're on a layout without pipe, it's not like you likely could use any languages outside Smalltalk/Self, or possibly Pascal...

That said, yes, I think there's room for languages with very limited use of special characters. But I think they'd always be somewhat specialized.

> Trying to make web3 go away is just as pointless as trying to make web2 go away. It's here, it's going to stick around. Yes, there's a lot of hype, it probably won't look the same in 10 years, and yes there's a lot of charlatans, but I think ignoring its importance is myopic.

Web 1 and 2 were almost immediately popular because they had real things you could do better than the alternatives. The blockchain financial systems being marketed as “web3” aren’t here in any meaningful sense: if you aren’t interested in cryptocurrency speculation, there’s very little reason to care about it (this is staggeringly unlike the earlier web), and a micro-transaction system for rich people with more centralized infrastructure is a big reversal — especially since exactly none of it works in any way without using the real web.
My wife and I both had COVID while unvaccinated. I actually had it twice.

She started off like a cold with extremely mild symptoms, but eventually developed a fever which was cut short by monoclonal antibodies.

The first go-round for me I had a few days of being tired with poor taste, and then it it full force making me incredibly tired with a fever of 102 for 2 weeks. The second time was largely the same but with less of a lead up - the tiredness hit right away.
I think it'll follow a familiar pattern.

E.g., Barbara Streisand lives on a mansion on the coast. And she also supports an NGO that is focused on preventing any new construction on the coast. For the environment.

They actually understated the risk by incorrectly assessing where it would come from.

The primary risk would be that the US would hit back and attempt to sabotage something important to China (and with China's sprawling global interests now, there are a vast number of soft, highly exposed targets). The US Government can be quite vindictive depending on the context, it will hit you back if it can. The responsible agency wouldn't seek publicity for any successful sabotage, but China would know who did it and what it was for.
That's funny, because I've found something similar to be true for me. I wonder if that's a function of some measurement of interactive visual information.

For instance, I have a green screen CRT that I can work on at any nit as long as the contrast is basically infinite (text dim or bright), but as soon as the rest of the screen becomes illuminated, it's like I'm peering through a literal fog.

Contrast that to a dimmed 4k 10-bit panel, and I find myself dropping out of focus or losing my place. I'm looking for a particular OLED panel right now on AliExpress to test with.
Imagine going into a board meeting with the senior leadership of any one of these companies and saying "we need a major initiative to make our site more accessible to 20 people who block all Javascript and probably have contempt for us." Then tell them how much it will cost.
JavaScript framework churn (on the frontend) ended 6 years ago. The only thing keeping this meme going is commenters on HN.
I’m sure they would be. You ship your org chart, so large organizations that move quickly will ship bulky applications. It’s very hard to make those applications smaller without slowing development considerably. Moreover, it’s not like there was a dearth of system administration experience at Google around the time GMail was conceived.
How do you think Spotify gets the music for you to listen to? Or Discord gets the content to show you?

The UI is not where the resources are used, but rather the active connections continuously streaming and caching content for you to consume.
The hypothesis is that the spike protein is causing the myocarditis. One would assume that the same spike protein in a live virus that proliferates in much higher quantities (since the mRNA version cannot replicate) would be much more damaging. Additionally, a small genetic change has been made to the spike protein code in the mRNA code to make it even less dangerous. So I would say the chances are very good that the myocarditis from COVID is both more common and more severe.

When a wrong password is used, no email is sent out from my multiple experiments today.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I think that what's happening with @tim333 is that master passwords may be all lower cased (for example) before being hashed. Or maybe the password is hashed twice with the first letter upper and lower cased.

Here's what I found from a quick google re: password case:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/facebook-passwords-are-not-cas...

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/68013/facebook-...

"This is simply Facebook trying to provide a better user experience for those users who may have Caps Lock enabled, or whose devices automatically capitalize the first letter of the password."
DNS/root servers/ICANN are fundamental architecture of the internet that are centralized.

People either forget, or weren’t around, when domains names were thought of and treated much like NFTs are today. There was a small group of early adopters but for the most part big business considered websites/domain names something akin to digital monopoly money, just a play thing with no relation to the real world.

In the early days even the law and courts didn’t know how to treat claims over domain names. Now ICANN dictates DNS rules worldwide and streamlines the process for businesses to take domains according to ICANN rules.

There are many examples of new decentralized architecture and protocols being built for web3 and the decentralized web, like:

IPFS: a p2p alternative to https

ENS: a decentralized domain name protocol as a alternative to DNS

Obviously you should walk barefoot in order not to contribute to the ecocide.
But why would they make it a config file, when they can just add it to the code?

Config files are like code, but even more shit. You never get the full set of functionality that you get with code, the compiler doesn't check your work, code navigation can't help you, and there's no debugger.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me in Zig explain this:

How is this different from exceptions?

Exiting a function immediately in case a function call fails sounds exactly like an exception.
In contrast, on platforms like Catalog or Sound, superfans are purchasing NFT music for thousands of dollars each, with creators earning what previously would have required tens of millions of plays. Brett Shear, an NFT collector who owns 45 songs from Catalog, told Time magazine: “In the same way that you buy art that you want to put in your apartment, I want to listen to this music and enjoy it—and it’s a different feeling to own it.”

So he pays thousands of dollars for an NFT rather than $10 for a CD? Someone help me out here.
If I’m understanding the key feature of blockchain-based stuff, it’s that it’s not just decentralized but distributed, right? Content is replicated across a whole lot of computers, rather than just sitting on one, and any modifications made along the way are a matter of public record, and recorded in a way that’s hard to tamper with.

Like a number of other people here, I primarily associate blockchain/crypto stuff with tech-bro huckster types, but the underlying tech does seem to have some interesting properties. Anybody remember Publius? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publius_(publishing_system)
Yes, my bad,it's technically not a breach, since in theory it was never exploited.

> weak definition

Dictionary definitions are not meant to be combined like logical predicates. Rather, they provide a spectrum of possible meanings for a term. By recognizing multiple standard meanings for a word, I’m not tightening the space of entities that can match, but rather broadening it. But usage can still shift under a broader definition.

> atheist is the negation of theist

In one sense of the word, but that’s also the sense of the word in which you say that rocks are atheist, and probably not the (perfectly legitimate)sense of the word in which GP describes himself as “100% atheist.”

———

Taking a step back: is there any value in this line of inquiry other than semantics? I think so. It comes down to whether there is an active and lively philosophy of atheism in a positive sense, one that is chiefly distinguished by rejecting theism and building alternative moral, social, epistemological frameworks, but still fundamentally religious - a set of beliefs and practices and values for guiding one’s life, providing answers for the great questions.

I think this comes up because of the desire from some to make atheism seem essentially the default belief— no more notable than a lack of belief in fairies and elves. But in the world and culture most of us are embedded in, that’s just not accurate. It’s still a minority position, there are many important consequences to building one’s life on atheism vs theism, and there is an ongoing battle in the marketplace of ideas and the popular consciousness for each one. I think it’s galling to some to see atheism described as a philosophy or religion on the same “shelf” as theism, but practically speaking that’s what it amounts to for most people.
