More broadly that sounds more like web1, not web3.

For sign in there are distributed ways. SQRL by Steve Gibson is one, that is just first and second party. No third party needed, distributed or not.

But really, any public key system, like gpg web of trust would do it.

You could even do mTLS, with self-signed certs. Or build an identity tree with signed certs.

Like all things Blockchain there's always the open question to any solution of "but why not just do it without the Blockchain, and it'll be better faster stronger?".

Indeed i see many stories of solutions where they ended up just removing the Blockchain in the end, with no loss of functionality.

If you write up your thoughts then please look at non-blockchain alternatives.

Like why is a gpg key not identity, or not good enough, but a Blockchain solution would be?
In attempt to clarify; You would run your TSDB and Grafana _in_ your Homelab, and point to them with this "Dashboard".

Homelab is really a term for running your software in-house (at home specifically), in your own server rack, or something that resembles one (See: LackRacks[0]) for those with different budgets. It's a (software) test lab, with the "lab" part presumably coming from "computer lab".

I've always thought of "Dashboards" of this kind as a form of intranet page linking to internal services, available to everyone on the network.

> JavaScript is literally a Scheme “implementation”, as in it started as Scheme in a browser but they removed the s-exprs (the interface) and kept the implementation.

do you have any link to a source for this claim?

AFAIK JavaScript started as a language called Mocha, which was hacked together in a few days: Java syntax, Scheme functions + Self object system + plus a bunch of other things.

At that time: no symbols, no s-expressions, no cons cells, no lists, no macros, no tail call optimization, ...
I really wish Lua had taken over the Python space. It's so much better as a language. At this point, though, the Python ecosystem is so huge it's very hard for me to justify investing in Lua.

Pretty sure they were referring to storing a car for a long time (months or longer) without any oil in it. Not trying to operate the ICE car without oil in it.
I highly recommend Google Voice or similar VOIP for all commercial services. That may help reduce spam to your mobile and Google Voice has filtering of spam built in (unsure of quality).

Not only: targeted content is produced thanks to click analysis have had a very bad social result, they completely cut out good educative contents from all publications simply producers follow people desires because now they know them very well and we see an explosion in junk contents (see YT, TikTok etc) and a substantial end of quality publications, witch on scale made people isolated and uninformed at all, since anyone try to find a niche of people who read and think in the same way not seeing any external ideas. Such model have had on scale a simple result: tearing apart our society.
> More seriously, you can in sequence replace all parts of a car and it still functions as the original one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus), but you can't do that with a human

Actually there’s enough evidence at this point that you can, you just have to do it on the cellular level, not tissue level, and the hardest problem for therapies in living humans is not creating cancer at the same time.

Partial reprogramming (resetting methylation status on the DNA) looks like the most important maintenance to do inside the human cells, but there are other known problems with partly known solutions.
We don't like negative interest rates because of loss aversion. We would rather be fooled into believing that we have something that doesn't decay, rust or rot and then be surprised that it is gone at some point instead of seeing and being fully aware of much we are losing over time.

For example, suburban sprawl tries to cover up the negative yield of suburban roads, at some point growth is no longer possible, suddenly, the negative yield of underutilized and overbuilt infrastructure rears its ugly head. The local government is now bankrupt.

It is also the same with capitalism. We need endless growth of the population and the economy. To paper over the fact that each individual ages and their body decays over time, the same applies to a lot of physical capital which rusts, rots or decays in another way. The moment growth stops you will have an aging population, your short lived physical capital will disappear.

The ancient Egyptians understood decay, that is why they tried to make their civilization immortal, that is why they invested in extremely long lived capital, capital that survived four thousand years. The pyramids.
I always thought rcorder(8) was a nice utility.1 Did FreeBSD, OpenBSD or GNU/Linux have anything like it. I do not use the rc system much anymore but in the earlier days when I used it I found NetBSD's was simple relative to other OS and hence easier to comprehend.

I agree its not as widespread in Europe, but you do find Royalty lurking in some EU countries and they do cause an increasing drag on their economies whether they want to admit it or not. Its the same in other parts of the world, Royalty is becoming increasingly toxic.

Europe has the largest slice of banking and financial interests but thats being slowly chipped away by the US. Look at some of the old banks which have gone bust or been swallowed up for liquidity reasons since the financial crisis in 2008. You have the US and UK printing money to dilute China's hard work, the Weimar republic has a lot of parallels.

Plain text is a very powerful tool in education [1]. I use org-mode.

It's essential to have universal tools that all students have access
to at almost zero cost, work across platforms, are light enough to
work remotely over poor connections, don't go out of date, quick to
learn.

Unfortunately Microsoft keep bribing our admins to push Office365
cruft on the poor souls. I have to do a lot of work to repair the
damage that does and get them back to a stage where they can think
about ideas, not battling with buggy, over-complex, insecure
application suite.

Not necessarily, unless you have some decent data on this to share? Not everyone might mutter in their sleep. The overlap between the people who mutter and those who self-report might be minimal. Muttering behaviour might have an unexpected relationship with dream recall, etc.
Whenever I play this, for days afterwards I’m in a state of mind looking for anything in my life to automate.
Rebase is the opposite of dangerous, it brings everything back to a specific state and forces the dev to fix conflicts themselves rather than make it someone else’s problem.

What’s dangerous is using things one doesn’t understand and not asking how to use it or reading up on it.

> And profits must increase every year or else capital just packs up and goes somewhere else

Close the loopholes. Implement negative interest on cash. Break up monopolies. Tax land value. If there are no god like safe havens of capital that no actually productive investment can win against, the pressure to do the impossible will greatly diminish.
This is also not how to solve problems - at least in my experience. I must write some code, usually completely scrapped, to understand how things will fit together. PoC code is the next stage after white-boarding for me.

But then it might easily become unclear exactly which subset of SVG is supported. I am personally leery of implementing subsets of other formats. I find it better to define entirely new formats, at least for simple things like this. To render this "lines" format, you could of course easily write a translator that turns it into SVG. It's mostly the other direction that I would be hesitant about.
>I've always wondered why gas prices in the Bay Area are the highest in the nation

Obviously because gas tax in California is the highest in the nation, by quite a margin. CA charges an extra 62.47 cents per gallon, whereas next door Arizona only charges an extra 19 cents per gallon.

It's not only salary

I'd say the scale/vision/management of American companies is also "on average" better (of course, helped by generous and realistic financing)

Try financing facebook (think - at the beginning) outside of the US. Or every other service that has been net negative so far.

Also, I don't think it's so much "risk appetite" but the fact that they know how to manage the risks and expectations (on tech startups) better.
How do you represent figures and math equations in plain text?
Nice! So excess robustness will cause failure through inefficiency (with "excess" being a situation dependent variable) - but you need some robustness. Evolution of course, optimizes for this, hence biological systems' wonderful balance.

I do think this is the part of the equation that is left out by the "precautionary principle" types.
I'm not a huge EA person, but, here is what I'd say:

1. You seem to be under the assumption that accumulating wealth is bad. I don't think it is. I don't know what the consensus view is among EA-people, but I assume at least some of them are fairly ok with capitalism in general, and likewise agree that most wealth accumulation is perfectly ok.

I'd even go one step further and say that wealth accumulation is usually a sign of doing good in and of itself - you're creating value for society, which is how you're accumulating wealth. (Again, for the most part - there are edge cases.)

2. Even if it is "moral laundering", is that a bad thing? EA biggest focus is probably on the idea that what we give to matters. All things being equal, it's better for wealthy individuals to donate to the Against Malaria Foundation, rather than to building a new wing of a museum. Both can be a form of "moral laundering", but one is morally superior.
These motors won't be at full power for more than 100 milliseconds at a time anyway. It's fine to overload regular outlets by 10x for 100ms - and the specs of breakers even specifically allow for this use case.

Big appliances like air conditioners, especially old non-inverter ones, will usually do that.
FreeBSD uses the same mechanism.
If you get a chance to see this in person, ideally without many other people around, and even if it involves a relatively long trip, I highly recommend it. It's utterly mesmerising in person. (I can personally recommend the Avalon Marshes near Glastonbury in Somerset, UK, in December and January).
> In the Soviet Union, personal computers were very expensive, while most workers' wages were low. So PCs never became a mass-market item like they did in the U.S. during the 1980s.

It is a very impressive pice of technology. The crazy part is the decompressor. It is ~200 bytes of handwritten x86 assembler, tuned for code smallness over 15 years. If you go to the release page, you see every time the shaved one or two bytes of of it. It’s also interesting how compression is done. They do only care about output size, not compression time. So it is possible that you just wrote a couple of KB of GLSL and the compressor takes 12 hours to squeeze that into your 4k demo.
"Senior Engineer" isn't a single job definition, is it? There's senior in the technical sense and senior in the quasi-management sense.

> One of the worst features of blockchain technologies like cryptocurrency and NFTs is their horrific energy use.

Some of them. Not all of them. Also in the distant future the second biggest one is not going to be using that 'horrific' energy use.

This point is not new, and this 'energy use' problem taring the same brush upon all cryptocurrencies due to a single bad egg is already solved by other projects today.

This is why articles that lazily over-generalise like this doesn't make any sense, unless you think we should stop driving all cars because the majority of them still emit too much CO2.
That's a bit like the protocol some smart lightbulbs use to connect to Wi-Fi networks, which is simultaneously genius and depressingly dystopian.

TIL that Wi-Fi encryption is vaguely akin to a VPN, in that it encrypts at the TCP/UDP/etc level, not the IP level, and TIL also that Wi-Fi encryption (which is a stream cipher) does not alter packet lengths.

Soooo, when you "pair" such a lightbulb using this protocol, the companion app is actually just spraying empty packets with specific packet lengths to 255.255.255.255, and the lightbulb's ESP8266 (or similar) is sitting in monitor mode and circularly-logging the lengths of the packets it sees into a buffer in memory until it sees a valid setup message.

If you presume the setup message is protected by some sort of key you'd be sorely mistaken :D your Wi-Fi SSID and PSK are available in plaintext to anything and everything that happens to be in monitor mode at the time. Like I said, genius yet very very hard to not see as deliberately chaotic-evil.
Heh. Well, "fully defleshed" is my phrase for today.
Monokle is a unique IDE that focuses on helping Dev teams deploy successfully to Kubernetes by trouble-shooting all validation, config, and resource issues pre-deployment. This release includes:
- Compare Anything - a cool and useful option created by overhauling the original Diffing Panel
- Instant visibility of used images and their metadata
- Helm value interactions made easy by hover over pop-up window showing the value of any reference
I've went thru the same problems. Posted a negative review and they scolded me in a message and refused to post the bad review I too was trying to warn others. I've ordered things from the app and received the wrong items with no way to submit the problem to Amazon. Never receiving items I ordered the app will say running late after never receiving the item I inform Amazon to issue a refund I get my refund than they all of a sudden send the item and recharge me after I receive my refund. You can only talk to a computer with questions designed by Amazon you cannot write your own you pick from a few they have listed. I don't know what's going on with Amazon but it's not good. I've went back to shopping with Walmart.

Sounds interesting. Could you elaborate? Or is there an article that tells more about this?
Sawn lumber is a very storable item. It can be stored in massive quantities very cheaply with very few losses or costs.

Therefore I'm surprised the market is so volatile - since almost anyone can turn that volatility into profit if they just warehouse a bunch of sawn wood.

And obviously the forests themselves have even more elastic supply - it's easy to cut trees a few years early or late to meet market demand.
Ah, the Zen of Python: Make simple things unnecessarily complex and put a thin veil of ideological reasoning on top of it.
For SSO the idea we have is to configure it at the LB ("Authenticate" in the LB rule for an OIDC source which would be Azure AD) and then Gitea would have to look at the JWT in the header to get from there the authenticated user email.

So Azure AD and the AWS LB handle authentication whilst Gitea only handles authorization.

I hardly ever remember dreams, maybe once per month or less. Sometimes if I eat specific foods like pizza right before bed it can trigger a potent dream, but I avoid eating stuff late at night now anyhow.

I haven't specifically tried to dream less but I've never tried to remember anything either. When I wake up, I immediately start thinking about my plans for the day and/or check HN/instagram (admittedly, a bad habit).
Can you please go into more detail on these "interesting properties"? I fail to see anything in terms of real analysis in the links you gave, simply descriptions of automated trading rules simple enough to be understood, but mathy enough to sell to the marks if cryptocurrencies, backtested on the growth stage of a bubble.
What big companies are you referring to? Protecting data takes effort, so by virtue of that, intent is a necessary precondition.

Most companies probably don't take care of these things at the rate or level you seem to be assuming that they do.
In the mid-2000s two employees from Citadel left for Jump Trading and took some source code. Jump then took this strategy, improved on it and destroyed Citadel's HFT revenue stream. We're talking about billions in lost revenue for Citadel. I don't have proof for these allegations, but it is an open secret in the industry.

There was a lawsuit a few years ago, but Jump was able to convince the courts that they could not reveal their source code because it would damage their business. Citadel was never able to prove that
their code was stolen.

Ken Griffin could certainly be strongly motivated to employ such an attack. And if he did... you have to admit it was pretty brilliant. This is something straight out of "Billions".
Why is it essential? I was in school a little over 5 years ago and no one received special training on Office. You were just expected to work it out since it is obvious. Many students used Google Docs instead, I saw some use Libre Office, I used Latex. None of this was a problem. You just converted the file to pdf and sent it away. Even conversions to docx work fine since your documents are simple.

None of this seemed very consequential to me. Your choice of document editor meant little more than your choice of shoes. It doesn’t impact you in any way going forward and is trivial to swap later.
So life beyond Mars confirmed then?
Not so known fact: Zen of Python refers to internal CPython design, and not to external application of the language itself. So, any new syntax is fine while one can wrap their head around implementation.

I understand your struggles, but the way the "system" is set up in Spain, this isn't going to change soon. In most small municipalities the people in charge have no idea what are they doing, and most of them don't get any money for it, so it's just the local guy who likes to be known or has some personal interests, and maybe, sometimes, someone that does it for the altruism.

Maybe I would say that for ISPs there are plenty in rural Spain happy to lay fiber if you can assure them enough recurring revenue.

Even with the not so small ones like Adamo you have a chance of getting fiber laid.
