This is where the magic of federation comes in.

Each instance can federate with any other instance, meaning posts from the other instance will show up in your local instance's federated timeline.

On top of that they can add AP relays that will further add posts to your federated timeline.

I run a very small instance focused on geographically local users and the federation is so rapid that I have to scale up my background workers just to process all the URLs people post from across the world.
I think it's interesting. I'm pretty sure a lot of the "top talent" at FAANG (if we are still calling it that) are leaving in droves for similar reasons. I don't really care about what degrees he got or didn't get but I'm interested in who these people are, what they worked on, and how many of them are going to just go pursue their passions or whatever. For the last 15 years, our best and brightest have gone to these companies to build shit that we arguably maybe didn't need all these people to go do. Now who is going to maintain all of this? Are our frameworks and managers good enough to keep those ships running with code bootcamp folks? I don't know at all, but I do see that happening. I've worked for a FAANG company and have some friends that still do and most of them have enough money that they can do whatever they want. It seems that what most of them want is more control and not to be associated with the albatross. Maybe Elon will buy them all up and his college can crank out folks to maintain them or something.

You are right though, the details of whatever personal stuff he's saying to me at least, isn't that interesting. In aggregate with how the rest of the tech space is going, I think these posts are very interesting.
I’m on my fourth enterprise project. DDD is a combination of communication and implementation and I teach it now.

In my experience, the biggest hurdles are getting the business and engineers to follow the process.

Model->Validate with scenarios->Code Probe

Repeat as needed.

DDD lends itself to serverless and event-driven architectures and this is also a struggle.

Context mapping is important. Focusing on behavior is important. Identifying language is important.

Learning about Event Storming is also important.

But DDD is overkill for a straight data maintenance system (CRUD). The goal is to reduce complexity. Not create it.

Oh and the hard part. In DDD, abstractions and relational databases are bad starting points. You may end up with relational data stores, but the bound context should drive that. More often than not, a document data store is cheaper and more efficient. Abstractions are bad because we often see similarities in multiple boundaries and have an urge to combine things. But that’s a path to monolithic spaghetti.

I’m a huge advocate for DDD and believe many architects are stuck in PaaS. I think it’s critical to unwind that thinking.

A good example is how much greater would Salesforce be if they’d used DDD principles to design it? Clear boundaries. Clear modularization. As it is, it’s a tangled mess of monolithic code.
> a bizarre stance, given that more than half the German public would like to see the plants running.

That is not true? I mean, I’m glad they linked to their sources, but already that link (which then references the YouGov poll that’s the primary source) only says "About half of Germans say nuclear energy should remain an option in climate policy" which is very different from re-enabling old nuclear plants.

That coupled with mentioning NS2 without NS1 or the existing transit pipelines leaves quite the taste.
I agree, but that's besides the point.

There is value on the table, Musk is going to try to take some away, probably in a zero-sum way.

Musk could very well jam Twitter full of ads, making it sheite for us, but more money for him.

Nobody should want that but literally a single person: Elon Musk. Everyone else, who uses Twitter, should be against it.
We inherited an Elixir project. After a year of irritations, we re-wrote it in Go and never looked back.

The combinatorics of having to deal with two different string types, two different throws (catch vs rescue), two different versions of each function (exception throwing vs error returning) in most of the base libs, weak typing, weak documentation, and the constant churn of dependencies because the language developers like to change things "just because" (i.e. regular re-naming of built-in functions for "consistency"--several builds broken because they just had to add/remove an underscore in one identifier or another).

And when things go wrong, we'd often have to dig-down into Erlang errors and libs the same way we would with Java errors in Clojure, so now we have two languages we've got to get everyone up-to-speed on.

When it got to the point where we were avoiding point upgrades in fear of how much of our code it would break, it was clearly time to move on.

I could not find the raw data anywhere. Is it really missing from the original paper (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3502222)?

Thanks for this explanation. The article didn't do a good job at explaining why leaves were such a problem -- it just repeated that it was a big problem. Maybe it should have been obvious but it definitely wasn't to me!
That’s what I was expecting, but as of today it still shows up in the onboarding tutorial and with the big “TOOT!” button on the main page, but these may be specific to desktop. It’s a little disappointing because it was a big announcement when they decided to change, and it really is the little things that make the biggest differences.

Isn't the whole point that you don't need to "explore different instances" since instances talk to each other?
That may well be. However, I’d argue that effects like these are just the cost of doing business at their scale – and therefore entirely their problem. No one outside of the affected corporation should need to care at all.
Sure it is a matter of how good the regalloc algorithm is, and how many registers are there to play with.

My point was more about how we are willing to trade the optimal performance for something that gets us there most of the time, while offering much more productive tooling.
I paid for 1 year membership up front 2ish years ago (this lets you lay by CC) but I'm not gonna do it again
The only reason I see would be if you want your posts to reach people you don't know and who don't follow you; they will end up on the local timeline of the instance you're on.

Conversely if you don't want to spend time with setting up relays/subscriptions (which can get you the same thing) and want to easily discover things on the local timeline there, the local GUI helps with that.

IMO that Mastodon's timelines work this way by default for non-private instances is unfortunate as it conflates physical infrastructure with social community too much.

Other than that it should all be the same.

Theoretically you should also be able to set up "relay accounts" on foreign servers that can mirror your profile and just mirror/reshare your content there. It's not something I've seen already so you'd probably have to script your own bot for that.
I haven't seen any studies on the BluRays, but I've seen several blog posts that I found pretty convincing. This is the only one I could find in three minutes of googling, but I'm really quite sure I've seen others: http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html?http://www...

(In particular, I think there was an article on HN a few weeks ago that did tests with both M-Disc BluRays and another brand. The M-Disc wasn't magic but it was a decisive winner.)
Germany is the biggest producer of carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union.

I'm not sure how they decided it would be a better idea to switch off nuclear before switching off their coal fired electric plants.
Actually, he wants to do something about the bots too.
> It's the other way around: if you don't have lots of money, you don't have this kind of "toy" gear

Yes, but you suggested that if you don't have lots of gear, this is outside your budget. That is a different argument. That you can construct a new argument doesn't somehow invalidate my response to your previous argument.
The gamification of CVEs has been a real negative for people that actually have to deal with them.

You are confusing supply issues with generation. A stock pile of 100 tonnes of coal is 100% reliable.
Seriously, what the heck? I joined in to echo disagreement about a justification given -- one which would (dubiously) imply that you can do whatever the heck you want with the company once you control 51% (like siphoning resources to another company you fully own).

I never disputed poison pills being legal, only one comment's justification for that conclusion.

It's not responsive to simply assert that poison pills are "settled law", since I wasn't ever disputing that, and no clear-headed, good-faith reading of my post would attribute such a remark to me.

And yet ... not only do some of you think the above reply is somehow responsive (or not a strawman), you seem to think I'm wrong to simply point out how it isn't.

Someone want to tell me what's going on? Is there some deep insight I can't seem to fathom from tptacek's non-repsonsive, dismissive reply that makes it all somehow worthwhile?
In Germanies case they produce their own coal.

I’m saying that some that might think that they’re transgender could very well be wrong because the hormones - the things that sexually differentiate us - haven’t hit yet. Those hormones don’t just shape the body; they shape the brain.
It’s not even about your or my standards. The overall tone of media sets the standard. There’s already a rising tide of anti-intellectualism that seeks to actively disparage intellectual thought as “uppity” as described in a comment above. This is not healthy for society. If you wonder how it was that in history, waves of advancement in knowledge seem to be followed by periods where things seem to go backwards, I find it easy to imagine that popular anti-intellectual sentiment would have looked very similar. Distrust of “elites” and disparagement of the philosophies of those “elites”, throwing out the baby with the bath water.

EDITED to add that what attaches itself to such sentiment (or stokes it), are cynical political actors happy to gain power irrespective of the cost to society.
well it doesn't seem completely off the wall- to my eye the top seven look pleasant to read, with the possible exception of oswald, where the bottom three- avenir next, avant garde, and open sans- look a tad obnoxious

I wonder if my China Weibo account is still up and running? Give it a few months and it may be even more pro free speech than Twitter.
Starting out with smearing as qanon, far right etc demonstrate that you are an adherent of repressive tolerance. This is a labeling of viewpoint opponents as beyond the pale using appeals to emotion (pathos) without evidence, instead of or in addition to engaging in appeals to reason (logos). It’s a cheap trick when used like this.

With regards to this specific paper, you say yourself the methods paper is peer reviewed. It’s also been cited 470 times according to Google scholar, which is an academic home run.

Will a methods paper apply the methodology at scale? Look at his follow up papers for that.

The point on scale is fair if true, but the paper Slate criticize is a methodology paper which is not where you would expect a large scale study. I haven’t read his body of work to get a full picture of that question, and it’s not clear to me that Slate did so either. No matter what Slate is an activist publication that at times misrepresent to support a predetermined conclusion.

He never really said decentralization, I’m not sure where you read it. He wants to identify people like Facebook does it to get rid of bots.

At the same time at least he is greatly incentivised to get rid of car emissions, which is good enough reason for me to side with him instead of other people.
I disagree with part of this. Nature has proven that general intelligence can be achieved in a compact, energy-efficient form: humans.

Has nature ever proven that nuclear fusion can be sustained at human scale?

I would bet that agi comes first.

I must note that the notion of lenses meant by this paper is very different from what is commonly called lenses nowadays. The modern definition of a lens is a function p a (f b) -> p s (f t) where p is a profunctor and f is a functor. It's the functional programming equivalent of getters and setters, but composable.
I suspect there's a limited number of people who want to be told so explicitly that they're just farting their thoughts out online.

Huh? Does it matter which instance you join? I don't use it, but thought that it does not matter since every post bubbles to every instance.
As a physicist I would have absolutely preferred to keep nuclear around because it just makes sense in a technologically advanced, geographically and politically stable environment. Let me be blunt: that ship has sailed (train/left, horse/bolted, ...) and no complaints are going to change a thing. We can now regret that or just deal with it and move on. Renewables are faster too build and cheaper by now. They might not be able to provide baseload if sized to baseload but overprovisioning goes a far way already (from what I remember it is even the connections to wind/solar fields that are more expensive than the actual panels by now (or: panels are cheaper than the connectors), so it makes sense to maximize their utilization, not that of panels). We are also not living in a medieval self-sustenance society in which everything needs to be produced and consumed locally. Power can be moved in huge amounts quite successfully (look for Chinese examples of HVDC power lines if you are curious).

Either way: we should stop mooning over a bygone love, there are plenty of other fish in the sea.
Odd comment about the Army there. The culture of Army officership is all about leading from the front, carrying your own rucksack and cleaning your own rifle, eating last, and taking care of people (literally inspecting feet for injuries in the field). Senior Army officers I've met are overwhelmingly gregarious and affable, if not always competent in the broad array of things they're charged with.
I have my doubts about the degree of understanding truly existent in a great deal of human speakers.
Well, Germany's leadership was and still is in bed with Russia, from Schröder to Scholz, so naturally importing Russian gas would be 'greener' than the alternatives.

The whole thing is a facade, the political leadership is insanely corrupt, with Scholz at the center. As long as Germany's industrialists keep getting cheap gas and cheap workforce form the east so their factories can make stuff cheaply, then nothing else matters.

Running a formatter in CI and failing the build if it finds anything is a good way to make sure people are running the right tools locally, which is in turn a good way to maintain quality. I've seen many devs work with broken environments and just ignore the problems because it doesn't actually stop them, or because they don't realise it's broken.
It probably isn't as bad as the corporate world, but I'd be curious to hear why you think academia is impure in this way.

Oh, I wish. There are plenty of game engines and graphics libraries for C++. We have enough of those. This is not yet true for Rust. There seem to be, but if you start to push the performance limits, problems appear.

I've been writing a client for Second Life, which, despite all the hype from NFT land, is still the best metaverse around. It's just sluggish, so I'm trying to fix that. The stack I'm using is Rust->Rend3->WGPU->Vulkan->NVidia.

Rust is doing fine. No problems at the language level. For this, I need Rust's safe concurrency; there are a lot of threads manipulating shared data. 18 months on, I only needed a debugger once, and the problem wasn't in my code.

Rend3/WGPU provides a cross platform layer. Put in meshes, materials, textures, and transforms, and have a loop endlessly calling the render function. Other threads change the scene in parallel with rendering. Rend3 handles memory allocation and scheduling. Vulkan gives you access to the GPU's memory. Managing it is someone else's problem. WGPU provides a common interface to Vulkan, DirectX, and Apple's Metal, which all do pretty much the same thing, but incompatibly. WGPU sits below most of the major game engines on Rust.

It all works, but not fast enough. There are locking bottlenecks at the Rend3 and WGPU levels which cause the render thread to be stalled when another thread is loading content. The whole point of Vulkan is that you can do both at once, but the Rend3 and WGPU levels don't quite have that working yet. The right functionality is there, but not the optimization needed for serious work.

Nobody seems to be building AAA titles in Rust. I'm pushing the scene complexity to AAA title levels[1], and I seem to be close to the first person to do that. Not where I wanted to be.

If you want to work on the lower levels, the WGPU and Rend3 projects, which are open source, need more good people.

CMV: Form of Government Is a Rabbinical Theocratic Dictatorship (RTD)
Where do I begin? Easy. There are lots of problems with current forms of government. Clearly Democracy is not working (see [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFgcqB8-AxE] for a pretty short summary of why). Based on the IQ distribution, we have that 50% of people are below 100 IQ. If you go to a university or other decently high skill job, think about the dumbest person at that job. They probably have a 110+ IQ. Now consider that over 50% of people are dumber than that idiot who you hate with all your being. He is probably your boss, that project manager who wants you to play hopscotch with strangers as a team building exercise. Imagine if people just like him and even more stupid could singlehandedly decide on who the next ruler of your country will be. Terrible.

So clearly the next best option is to have the decision be made by a more intelligent group of people. Who better than Rabbis? They have studied all their lives, are genetically more likely to have a very high IQ, have shown immense dedication, work ethic, and pure intentions (aside from pricking the penis of male converts, not sure why they do that). It's common for them to engage in debates and intellectual discussions with each other, and they are chosen by G-d as His favored people to lead the way forward for humanity.

Imagine a society where they are able to choose amongst themselves. Personally I think it would be amazing. The person they choose doesn't even have to be a Rabbi or Jewish at all, it could be some random kid. But we need to all trust in their judgment because it is the best one available to us. To keep things fresh it's probably best to rotate different Rabbis every year, maybe have one year be Conservative, the next one be Reform, etc. just for the variety and to give them a break. Many of them are senior citizens, we don't want them getting exhausted or accelerating neurological issues they might have.
It's a lot of words to say that they are going to track space debris and rent satellites so people don't have to launch their own.
