> I am not a resource

This is a very poetic and hopeful thing to say, but at the end of the day, it is simply not true. We don't get to just exist for the sake of existing. There has to be give and take with our external environments. There are a few relationships that bypass this (to SOME extent; see: mother/child) but by and large for the vast majority of human relationships, if you don't provide value—they aren't going to altruistically just give you money, love, time, etc.

So while you are correct that we are not things, we are humans, there is a level of needing to convey what wonderful human qualities you plan on bringing to the relationship. This is true in dating, interviewing, and making friends. There's no relationship you can voluntarily enter where the other party will be fine with you taking and not giving—and interviewing is simply outlining those terms—"selling" what you plan to bring to the table.
All the more reason to research algorithmic efficiency. It’s a hell of a compact encoding.
What is China?

My understanding is that socialism is primarily about public rather than private ownership. And that centralization of market planning varies in different regimes.

It may be a sufficient condition but it is not a necessary one.
Well, you don't generally see doctors and engineers in Miami building rafts out of styrofoam-filled trash bags and crossing shark-infested, hurricane-prone waters because they'd rather be a busboy in Havana.
centralization is not a bad thing - a lot of NFT websites exist that are centralized and curate and moderate the data on the public ledger to give a better UX for users. there can be multiple of these websites that co-exist - like how you can visit different book shops that sell the same product.

the core issue of web2 is that users are locking value into walled gardens run by singular corporations. if the corporation changes like Elon buying Twitter, the users have no power to escape. the same is not true in a web3 app where users can (and probably already are) operate on the shared data across a variety of platforms.
I've been using Twitter since it was invite only. I'm not a Twitter personality, I don't have impressive follow counts or viral tweets. I do tweet but mostly only so I can interact with my feed.

I've left every other social network. No longer on Facebook. No interest in Instagram or TikTok. But Twitter I've continued to get value from. This is entirely because I'm able to curate my feed. My rules for twitter engagement are:

1. Never look at the algorithmic feed. Switch to most recent or use https://tweetdeck.twitter.com for list consumption.

2. Unfollow anyone who consistently pulls you into Twitter cesspools.

3. Follow the people who you find interesting and who doesn't break rule #2

4. Use the mute and block buttons as frequently as you need to.

5. Block retweets which aren't quotes.

Everyonce in a while someone will link to a tweet in a different forum and I'll take a look. 90% of the time I'm shocked at what the author of that Tweet's experience of Twitter is like. My experience is 180 degrees different.
Same. The resolution of missile crisis itself is lauded as a policy victory only in contrast to and a result of presidential lessons learned in the disastrous bay of pigs invasion.
UA would appear to be losing troops and materiel rather quickly as well, with a smaller population and economic base.
What Does the Four-Day Workweek Mean for the Future of Work?
America’s neglect of nuclear energy has weakened our global influence
Yeah this was really lame. I had to go on Hacker News to figure out what was changing. Why do companies do crap like this? Does DigitalOcean realize there are other companies that are eating their lunch right now?

Like, I'm less mad about the price increases and I'm more annoyed about the communication.
https://www.rexify.org/
Because it's great to be able to find that one link someone mentioned, or the thing talked about a year ago, etc. Same reason one might keep their texting history for as long as possible.
On the software side of things, we hope to work with a consultancy to develop Wayland protocols that will offer native e-ink support to client applications.
I've been trying to do more shell scripting. Often it goes quicker than the Ansible writing and is easier to read imho.
Its get even worse than that. I have a test account with about 10,000 followers (mostly real people, you can tell), created via home-used IP, and few days after Musk tweet comparing Gates to Emoji of pregnant man, I did exact same tweet! With exact same punctuation, images, icons, everything.

Less than 2 days later I am banned for "spewing hatred based on sex, gender or religion". No amount of replies that my tweet was same as another but much much more popular account helped. Banned for life.
> You surf with JS off because of sites abusing their users' data. This is not it.

Wrong. I surf with JS off because of sites that use JS to collect information about me.

If it's available on the server, then sure that might be considered fair game. But using javascript (or any other client-side tool) to do what you should instead do server-side is abusing users (or their data).

Putting analytics inline so it's "not ad-blocked by a url request" is absolutely disrespecting users and a perfect reason to turn off javascript.
Against other NATO members.

Russia is suffering a humiliating defeat in Ukraine against a weaker rival and they aren't even talking about using nukes against Ukraine.

The stated purpose for NATO you give doesn't seem rational.

Every organization will attempt to protect it's existence. Including and especially government ones like NATO. Easily done with FUD.
Hopefully this upcoming documentary will help expose how reckless Elon/Tesla's approach has been to a wider audience. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/16/NYT-Presents/elon-musk-te...

It's embarrassing to see articles that treat Waymo's Driver and Tesla's software as if they were anywhere in the same league.
JavaScript tools and their .js config files work great for this

That being said, if you're only evaluating the file one time, just write a script to spit out your config.
> I mean the pragmatist in me says this is what they should have done everywhere and the corona would not have been an issue

Absolutely nothing about this is pragmatic. It's as un-pragmatic of a response as one could come up with.
It can go into a death spiral. If confidence in Tether wanes, AND Tether is holding underperforming "cash equivalents", Tether can go to zero overnight.
I am slowly convincing my coworkers that deploying the exact same binary as two different 'services' is a significant tool to have in your toolbox. Some disaster recovery work we're doing is making it a much easier sell.

I'm really just combining two very old tricks here. Traffic shaping based on class of service for two different requests, and for two different classes of users.

Segregating bot traffic improves consumer experience. Segregating admin traffic from both allows you to set an upper and lower bound on availability.
It's pretty simple: Ask people when signing up if they want to set a spending limit or not. If they do, return HTTP 500 as soon as the spending cap is reached. If it's for storage, return a quota exceeded error. Obviously the vendor shouldn't delete data, that would be stupid.

A lot of people try to get hobby users on a platform as a form of PR -- if you don't have spending caps, you are probably going to scare a lot of them away.

And I've never heard a company shutting down because they exceeded a limit -- I've only heard of people being surprised by unintended extremely high bills.
Buy why force everyone? Since I have ADHD I've made these kinds of arrangement with my manager before to be harder on me in some ways for motivation and softer in others because I get RSD real bad; it's never been that weird. Different management styles for different people.
It's probably easier to measure anti productivity than software productivity.

Excessive or poorly timed meetings, scope change, poor WFH distraction management, excessive support load, etc.

I'd like to think that we can assume people will be productive if we set them up for it.
Russia didn't invade Ukraine "out of the blue". Russia has been at war with Ukraine since 2014, when it occupied and annexed Crimea, and at the same time orchestrated and instigated covert War in Donbas.

You ramble something incoherent about the RAND paper from 2019. Just to clarify this: yes, it is precisely where the defense research should have spent the money following the Russia's aggression.
Project Cambria Preview – Mixed Reality with Presence Platform[video]
You Can Now Run Windows Steam Games on an ARM PC Thanks to Box86
The author's point seems to be something like: not only are there these bugs, but there is a lot of them that people are running into regularly, and the project isn't headed in a direction where the situation as such will improve (as in even if these are fixed, by the time that happens, there will be even more).

Hard to prove or disprove.
> We are still on exponential curves for compute, storage and DC bandwidth.

I don’t know about DC bandwidth, but for compute and storage… really? Feels like we are in the upper portion of an S-curve.
There are lots of scenarios where the Luna becomes somewhat valuable again. A truly major crypto coin like Luna has never truly disappeared. Probably someone will make a fork like "Luna Classic." There are lots of these things (ETH classic, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV) that have zero rationale for existing, but are still traded with a high valuation.

tl;dr people will attempt to reflate their bags; some moderate success cannot be ruled out.
Most bittorrent traffic is bootstrapped by centralized trackers.
> these days I tend to very cautious about adopting non-organic software

I’ve noticed the same thing happening to myself and hope to avoid a future where consumers only feel like they can trust/adopt software developed by FAANG type companies)

Really great blog post and ‘Customer-funded’ is a really good term. I agree, much better than bootstrapped

UPDATE: read even more of your posts/product page… if/when I add full data search to kinopio, I’ll be looking at typesense first :)
Spotify experiments with musician NFT galleries
Judging by the US, at least 200 thousand. We’ve had just over 1 million deaths with a population of 330 million. Of course, many of those 330 million still haven’t had COVID, and many of the cases have been vaccinated people (so they were much less likely to die), and the healthcare system would likely do worse in China. So I’d give a rough estimate of 500 thousand deaths, but that’s a very general guess.
I had the same realization and ended up setting up a simple Cloudflare script to automatically do an “I’m Feeling Lucky” style search to return the first result: https://notes.npilk.com/custom-search
That edit was made 40m before you joined the conversation. Noting your edits is a social convention and voluntary concession offered by a posts' author to validate replies that were made before the edit, while clarifying the authors intended message for future readers. If those future readers use the content of the edit message to shallowly refute the post, consider the incentive this creates to not follow that convention for all authors in the future. If you have a valid refutation, surely you can find evidence for such in the body of the message rather than nitpicking the edit history.
> Using bitcoin in a warzone is an extreme edge case (imo).

It's not just warzones, it's places where they simply lack any financial infrastructure; be it politically motivated, or otherwise.

> 99.9% of scenarios BTC is inferior to what we already have for day to day transactions.

See, again, not true: try making a low cost instantaneous transaction to halfway around the World on a weekend. You can't, its simply not possible.

I understand that for most the affluent in developed Western nations, whom you regards as 'we' it seems entirely unnecessary: but in relation to the total amount of Humans on this planet with those options, you are the minority.

And again, you're limited to what the banks and institutions will allow you to do: you have family in Iran, or Russia trying to flee? Good luck getting anything sent over there to help them out because of geopolitics which ultimately harm the People who are trying to get out of those situations.

I think what most will genuinely never be able to comprehend is just how overly complex, over regulated, and quite frankly how bad the modern payment system is: ACH, Swift, SEPA etc...

Unless you do fintech you will never really get any of that, especially if you are of the aforementioned class of person where the most you have had to deal with with was paying higher tx fees at an ATM that one time you used an out network bank.
Most tech calling itself web3 has less privacy - rather than 'just' Google knowing who I am across the internet, I'm spreading correlating information and pointers to publicly accessible records everywhere.

Privacy isn't some technology you can add to the stack. Rather than adding ZKP sprinkles on top, every technical choice will ultimately need to be reevaluated if privacy is a goal. Basically, you're talking about web4/5.
I'm kind of annoyed that vCPU is now a measurement of ... something.

Whereas memory, bandwidth, and storage are "roughly" comparable (there are performance differences between SSDs and RAM for sure, they're not as blatant) the difference between "a single core" on a CPU can be completely insane.

We need some form of "generic CPU power" that can more accurately compare these things.
I thought Linode's "Nanode" ($5 VM) was several years after DO. I remember wishing Linode had a lower tier option and contemplating moving to DO back when Linode started at $20 for their lowest spec.
This MUST be the reason that they threw their purchase of Postini in the garbage and my GMAIL INBOX is filled with spam, and my "social" and "promotions" tabs dont filter....

GMAIL is garbage now, I literally use it as my spam email any more. Which sucks because I have had it for a really long time.

Annecdote on Yahoo! Mail ; years ago I wrote to yahoo support asking when I created my Yahoo Mail account (i'd had it from the 90s when it was very early available...)

And support told me that they couldnt tell me when my account was created as that was *proprietary company information*

So I deleted my Yahoo account. Im about to DL all my gmail and do the same.
Though our open source mobile side is Flutter, but I can not decide either. Our desktop side uses Sciter, similar to html/js. We can use most of old html/js with Tauri. We can also reuse some mobile Flutter code, but our desktop design is super different from mobile. Flutter is not css based, few code can be shared between mobile and desktop per my understanding.
Python isn't suitable (by default) when the main task is to run multiple other programs, in pipes and elsewhere. Env vars are a bit harder to get to, etc. Common sys-admin use cases basically.

Yes, you can write a run() function that handles everything, and there are some 90% solutions in subprocess now, but the defaults are not as simple as a modern shell on this dimension.

Of course, if you need to do any string manipulation, advanced conditionals, or math, Python quickly pulls ahead.
HI all! I wanted to share a useful tool that I built during the pandemic. One of my deepest projects I’ve created in postgres, and I’m excited to share it with the community and get ideas and feedback.

I do a lot of functional programming and needed dynamic SQL. My personal belief is that ORMs are the wrong interface to creating migrations, and I prefer a pg native, functional approach. This library was actually one of the base extensions of a larger set, that I used this to create higher level structures for creating migrations. So while this is “low-level” you can definitely create stored procedures that do make higher-level if you wish.

I hope some of you find this useful with your projects!

good to know!

it would be worth taking a sample of higher value tokens that are not minted by OpenSea. probably the vast majority of those tokens are spam or bots trying to capitalize on existing web content like DeviantArt database.

better platforms like Manifold, Foundation and Zora are already using IPFS or Arweave
Thank you. Far too often people will jump in and cry "all corporations only care about profits!" which is about as interesting a statement as "all programming languages are Turing-equivalent".
Yeah, I just realised we might have been arguing based on a misunderstanding of each other's viewpoint! btw, I wouldn't say this book is a silver bullet by any means... it gives some ideas about how you might look at the various situations and think about how they affect comms and collaboration. I've mostly taken insight from the book and the bits they seem to make more sense, adapt them to my own org, and apply that way.

I think the best part to take away from the book are the pieces around cognitive load and how it can affect teams adversely if the team has too many "topics" or different major projects, and use that principle to break apart large teams. Then the remaining work is just looking at how those new teams communicate and collaborate in an effective manner.

That isn't a bug, the ISS isn't passing by at that moment, the time it will pass over you is at the top. The looped video is showing you how the ISS will pass over you. It isn't a live feed.
The people who got most of the UK social programs started in the 1900s called themselves democratic socialists, not social democrats. I am not sure when the terminology you are describing was introduced, but it is not universal.

I suspect getting the word out on here etc is much more effective than any effort they're likely to put into it if you did.
I'm not sure if we're disagreeing or just talking past each other. Most men could probably describe shopping for clothes as a woman in a literal sense, if that's what you mean. They probably couldn't connect with the experience like for example in this comedy article: https://reductress.com/post/why-i-shop-small-and-in-places-t.... If we still disagree then I'm not sure how to resolve it since it's a thought experiment anyway.

You make an interesting point about unrealistic depictions. In a way it's even harder for a man to write an unrealistic man that appeals to female readers than to just write accurately. I'm reminded of this comic: https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/false-equivalence. Of course male authors can learn to do it.

It's obvious to me that if you want to depict women accurately in art, or as you pointed out create art for women, then it would be helpful to have more women involved in the process. If anyone is seriously arguing that a typical man can write women and for women as well as a typical woman can so it's okay that most game devs are men then I'm not sure what to say. Agree to disagree.

> WordPress is much faster and secure with this kind of implementation.

Is this making a comparison, or is it just saying it's fast and secure in absolute terms? I have a feeling there's not much of a difference either way
The leading number is one thousand. In many cultures, the period `.` delimits thousands, the comma `,` delimits fractions.

E.g. the price of the salad is €12,70.
I understand why Tesla would let users beta test for them. It might even be ethical, taking a big picture view, but I don't understand what kind of person would use volunteer to be a beta tester. Is it about laziness, thrill seeking, ignorance, entertainment, or something else?

It's little different from letting an 8 year old child take the wheel. Sure, it'd be fine most of the time but regularly, certainly, and randomly fail catastrophically.

Just why?
The thing is for people with some ESP capability it is part of their living experience that the world is more alive than what average person perceives. In such a world of feelings the material science inevitably falls short as it started with the fundamental assumption of a dead and mechanical world, which deals well with general objects but still having trouble understanding consciousness.

The material science is good at dealing with material in general, but it is not the proving method that is illogical but the assumption needs to be challenged altogether
When would you ever want to install just the core without any plugins? It seems like what they have now, 'pip install ansible' and you get a working distribution, is exactly what users expect.
In my own applications, I've moved away from configuration files as much as possible. Instead, I provide an API and all my configuration is just code.

I think creating an entirely new Turing-complete language just for configuration is a waste of brain cells for everyone involved.
I did this a couple times before building and focusing on kinopio.club full time. In my own personal experience, volunteering only worked with side-projects. If you can do more through volunteering effort that’s very impressive.

Nixos has some of these benefits. You can do a lot with systemd and containers.
Hetzner in general doesn't seem to be peered that well, such that using a Linode VPS near a Hetzner machine in Germany and then routing everything through the Linode VPS is much faster than going direct.

Flarum v1.3.0 Released
Something like Dhal?

https://dhall-lang.org/

From what I hear people saying I'd guess its main usage is being a general purpose language that creates those shitty YAML based formats as outputs.

Anyway, I'm in complete agreement with the article. CI pipelines and infrastructure as code should both be defined in code, real code. Configuration files are the place you set the values for your variables, not the place you do calculations with them.
How are rates for small apps? I've read the pricing table in the website and it seems pretty generous, so, for a small poc style app, is this limit enough?
$120 / hr for full-stack web application developer.

I do React/Node primarily (Typescript on both front/back end). I used to build out websites, but these days it's a ripoff to charge anyone a meaningful rate for a website unless you're doing something corporate or something that needs lots of functionality. Cookie-cutter sites just aren't worth my time / rates anymore, especially since a lot of my clients are friends and I don't want to charge them my full rate.
The trick is its "Fully Self-Driving" TM. Which doesn't mean what the rest of the industry means by that.
The same argument could be applied to all of my examples, I think they all have people who argue that their current states are worse than they could be. That's why I defined "working" as "functioning" not "as good as it could be," or even "well-managed."
The cops and their unions are constantly complaining about every tool they don't have or aren't allowed to lose.
