It seemed like ISPs with east coast Vocus backhaul (going to SYD rather than MEL/PER POPs - TIL there's also CBR/BNE/ADL) had it worst trying to get to the status page but as the timeline shows, cloudflare was probably already recovering as we were triaging.
Could it be though that 2020-2021 was a high water mark for the market, and it may take years for it to return to those valuations?

The increasing interest rates show that we’re in a different era compared to that time.
There's a secure channel here (TLS) and then the blob encryption all happens clientside, so i don't think a PAKE-type solution is less mechanism, but i do recognize your expertise on that. Where do you think it would fit in?

Backup and sync-type software has the interesting engineering requirement that it is expected for the user's device to get completely lost/stolen/wiped, so any key material must be reproducible from the user's password.

Password -> KDF(1) gives you a password-alike: used for logins, server treats this kdf output as a password and stores a bcrypt/argon hash of it, as you would normally expect from a run-of-the-mill webapp.

The client generates a random data encryption key; seals it with the password; and then submits the sealed version to be stored in the user's profile on the web server.

The web server can't unseal the original data encryption key without the original password, and it never sees that, only the KDF(1) version of it.

That's all they've really done here. There is one more level of key indirection for the blobs themselves that i think is irrelevant but maybe useful for key rotation. Totally agree that unpadded RSA and ECB suck as primitives - they were bad choices then, they are bad choices now, and AEAD is a no-brainer upgrade (EDIT: and would close the post-back oracle) - but aside from picking better primitives the mechanism really does seem okay to me. I'd love to hear more from you though,
Open source maintainer here. No, it's not.

100% of what I do is open source. It's used by millions.

It's free for maintainers of "major" open source projects. I'm not sure what a "major" open source project is, but it's clearly not what I do. The only way to know if your open source project qualifies is to try to sign up. If it does, you're given a free option.
I would love for this to happen. I’m no designer, but I enjoy thinking about design and tinkering in Figma. The reasons I don’t try to help on this front are because (a) I’m not a professional, (b) I doubt anyone appreciates a drive-by “design upgrade” without data pointing to why it would be better, and (c) I rarely have deep enough context into the application to make more than superficial helpful changes.

By the way, as a community we should look at the changes Blender landed in 2.8, which were (I think) considered a major UI/UX redesign that increased accessibility to the broader public.
Two inches of range would be perfect for sizing bits, fasteners, bolts, screws, etc. I tried carrying a messograf pen for a while but they're wildly overbuilt and heavy. Amazon, eBay etc sell a caliper keychain but the tolerances are too loose for it to be useful and it has no vernier scale.
Well, of course we focus on natural theologians' arguments for the existence of God, because God's existence is logically prior to any other arguments you could have about Him. It doesn't matter what God as revealed in nature can teach us about predestination if God doesn't exist to predestine anyone.
How would you factor in Geo-political risks to this approach? Seems like we're trading dependency on oil producing countries with a dependency on "sunny and windy" countries. Arguably worse unless the grid is connected like a mesh. Quick google shows that 61% of oil is transported by sea.

Non-mesh power-grid interconnection is the equivalent of an oil pipeline with the geo-political downsides associated with it. Though maybe the dependency would at least be bi-directional in some instances.

> The whole thing was a perpetual motion machine that failed very predictably.

At the very least, similarly structured algorithmic stablecoin schemes should be identified as a species of scam and made illegal. Knowingly trying to pull this kind of thing on people who are going to be left holding the bag and wondering when their Luna2 airdrop is going to show up in some piece of tech that they don't understand... it takes malice.
I should have been more explicit; You are completely correct.

I was saying that there's some implied license after first purchase. I believe that was part of the court's decision. Paying for a book (or a library paying) gives you implicit rights to fair use. Github's copies of code were not purchased. They were given by sometimes third party.

So there's likely some room to argue that fair use rights are different enough between previous cases and github.
Diet, exercise, and good sleep are exactly the kinds of things that make people less frail at 90 (or 60 or 50). If you’ve ever met someone who isn’t frail when they are older it’s because they stayed active throughout their life. This doesn’t necessarily mean exercise, but it could mean doing lots of yard work, going on walks, etc.

I’ve never met a chronic inactive person who moved well as they aged.

We will need the pharma industry to treat Alzheimer’s and related conditions, but it is primarily lifestyle that we need to address to prevent it. Chronic lack of sleep will lead to all kinds of health issues, including dementia.
I mean dimethyl ether: DME. Unfortunately, I really doubt we are nearing a collapse in demand for oil. This technology seeks to convert the transportation industry to safe, cheap, and green hydrogen power, but bitumen derived products are used as an industrial feedstock for countless products that make modern society. This technology can reduce the CO2 emissions of extracting and distributing bitumen by 85% - >100%, while reducing the capital costs by 65% - 85%. It allows transitional oil to be produced cheaply, relatively cleanly, and in countries that don't violate human rights or fund terrorists.
Not the OP, but CloudFlare is not only a CDN but does everything you mentioned in your comment for you, so it's the load balancer and the DNS as well. When it goes down everything goes down.

Technically you could set up a separate DNS/failover somewhere else and use a backup reverse proxy/TLS terminator/CDN SaaS similar to CloudFlare, but then that somewhere else will be your point of failure.
yup, can confirm nothing about it was hidden (good on them, but better for deno)
Maybe this is already implemented, but a voice recognition interface seems appropriate here. Because aircraft that are this complex have two pilots, and it's normal procedure for the pilot flying to call for the other pilot to make settings changes.
I use Tabnine completion in JetBrains CLion when I write Rust code. I’ve found it to be quite useful. Haven’t tried GitHub Copilot yet, so don’t know how Copilot compares to it.

> its founders needed to justify achieving funding by being developer-famous

I agree here, but

> Let's say a company were to adopt this tech over Node, well, it seems like it would be slightly better, but probably not much of a game-changer.

If I'm starting a new project, Deno will be compelling if it means zero configuration with sufficiently sane defaults. It's like Rails vs Ruby. With Node.JS, you can pick and choose then configure things like TypeScript, but then you have to manage configuration files for TypeScript, linting, and all these things not relevant to the app code.
The documentation should focus on the 'best' way to accomplish the goal, reducing the number of people who encounter and repeat the old way. Doing anything else is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Yeah of course people are still using the old way, if some of them didn't start using it until after you added the new way.
> at a reasonable price, witch means buying all cost no more than +10% of the assembled device on sale

I get what you’re trying to accomplish here, but as stated, this seems ridiculous. A washing machine may have 75+ part numbers (with many of those having multiples [like screws and panel clips]).

Asking a manufacturer to stock and handle each of them individually for service parts at a loss seems unreasonable. If you bought every part individually to assemble a $25K Toyota, I bet you’d spend over $100K in parts. Why? Because it costs more money to box, label, ship, inventory, pick, and pack a washing machine or a car a part at a time than to load a cardboard box with a whole machine inside with a fork truck or drive a car off a hauler.
Mainly because of Ryan who created nodejs. If you have a good track record, investors will throw money at you anyways.

Not being pessimistic about this though. Imho Deno seems like a solid improvement over nodejs.
Tabnine was around at least one year longer than Copilot though
As a Linux user, this makes me very happy.

Steam deck hasn't hit Indian shores so there is a chance it would be here by the time deck 2 is released but oh boy, linux is in business now.
The idea that art should always be pushing an agenda, implicitly meaning the artist is somehow more civilized than the rest of us plebes, is pretty arrogant.

Given Depp/Heard, Smith/Rock, etc., does anyone really think that artists are morally superior?
> Someone notices this and sues the commercial project for breaking GPL v3.

I know what you mean, but silly nit pick since you mentioned “commercial” twice - GPL v3 does not prevent commercial use, it only requires copies to be open source. For someone to notice the project has copied code and not be inside the company, the code would (probably) have to be open source. So, this hypothetical is less likely to happen than your comment makes it sound.

A little further off topic, but amusing to me, is that the US government defines “commercial” software to be any software that has a license other than public domain. Free and open source software, such as GPL v3, is still “commercial” because it is licensed to the public https://www.acquisition.gov/far/part-2#FAR_2_101

More on-topic now, a small single function accidentally copied from an open source project by automated software might be considered fair use by US copyright law. https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html

(Edit) Oh yeah, and I just remembered that GitHub’s Terms already carve a necessary exception to whatever license you use in your project, to allow Github to host & display your code. I assume those terms already include some CoPilot coverage…? If not, and if they aren’t legally covered already (which I bet they are), then they could change the terms to stipulate that hosting code on GitHub bars people from suing over incidental amounts of automated copying. Main point here being that the GPLv3 license on your project is neither the only nor the primary license governing GitHub’s relationship with your code.
I got my Extreme 3D Pro for $30 a few years ago. I agree that there are so many better options out there but it's been a great way to get my feet wet (spread my wings?) in the world of flight sims which I hadn't really touched for almost 20 years.
This also has happened to me. So weird!
It says in the article that buying Terra was the way to get access to Anchor Protocol which sounds like a textbook pyramid scheme. I think the stablecoin branding gave this facade of being foolproof while it was an absolute scam.
Thanks. I was busy and have seen several naive articles promoting speed readying recently and assumed this was one more.

Sure they can. And just as sure they'd be sued. Fifth Amendment, or something.

> X-Plane is a flight simulator. Its purpose first and foremost seems to be to create a real sensation of flying.

That and a few other replies made me wonder philosophically, maybe we should distinguish between a flight sim and pilot sim? An app could be both at once of course, but more a reflection on which bits get abstracted away.

eg fiddling with radios and realistic cockpit buttons and dealing with ATC might simulate being a pilot, but it's less about the sensation of actually flying and looking out at the world from above.
I really want to love Tabine. I really, really do.

I gave it a fair chance, let it index my private personal projects, ran it on my personal machine to see how it worked. The results are... not great. I'm using IntelliJ, and Tabnine is arrogant enough to believe that their autocomplete is superior to the libraries autocomplete, even when completely wrong or it has no idea of its autocomplete. These are opensource libraries.

Their inline suggestions (per what Github Copilot) isn't great either. I've tried their different strength levels (their UI for their product is fantastic) and it's not great.

Github copilot when I first started was pretty good, over the last few months it's become amazing. I'm going to be giving my money to Github over Tabnine, but would prefer to give it to Tabnine.

That’s true, but there’s more nuance to it.

I worked once for an organization where relative power was part of the culture. Supervisors literally sat at high desks facing the minions. In another, there was a power structure and folks directly accountable for certain things; but it was very collegial. Everyone treated each other as peers and the senior folks were more like mentors or folks with other responsibilities than bosses.
Well, they asked why someone would use JS if there were other options, and I'm saying that I don't think Ruby nor Python are better languages than JS. Part of that is due to their bolt-on async vs JS async everything, part of that is due to TS, but there's more.

For example, you bring up Python's collection comprehensions, but I could easily point out Python's gimped lambda support and thus poor FP abstractions and the need for a special comprehension abstraction.

I don't think it's worth arguing about. But I had to chime in before someone thinks there really are no objective nor subjective reasons why someone might prefer Javascript. I do.

> then [X] is the best.

Btw, there is no best. There are only trade-offs.

One of my points is that you can't say something is the best. The only thing you can do is enumerate the trade-offs that made sense for you, and much of that is only personal/aesthetic.
Every time someone says "Notion clone". I'm like, oh boy, that's a bold statement. I experimented with it a couple of times and its _a lot_ and a serious challenge.

In order to make a notion clone one would need an huge amount of GraphQL types. Notion has many different content blocks text, callout, tables, images, etc. And those types also have configurations i.e (table calendar, board, timeline). Additionally there are field types with individual configuration as well. These all need to be expressed trough the API, and graphql's interface system might be a candidate for it. But it will be a _lot_ of models.

On top of that you need to create the most flexible editor in existence in regarding editing these content blocks.

The easy part is storing though so that's good. For a small sized setup. You can just jam it in a postgres jsonb table make some materialised views and indexes and be done with it.

Faster with Bionic by 6%. Less of a difference than I expected although it does feel easier for some reason.

I have thought about using Bionic or Dyslexic fonts but I'm worried that it'd cause a change over time that makes it even harder to read plain format text.

My reading speed overall is slow compared to others. I notice my reading speed is only fast and accurate when I'm extremely interested in a topic.
This is so true. There were tens of Chromium based browsers which had a good niche market interests but eventually failed to keep up with Chromium's super fast development pace. I'm pretty sure that the Edge team spends lots of their eng time solely on rebasing and one of the key factor for a successful Chromium based-browser project is to manage clean separation of your domain code and Chromium codebase. Otherwise, your team member will be quickly burnt out and leave the team.
Thanks for clarifying. I wasn’t aware of it back then unfortunately.

There isn't a definition. The FAQ states:

People who maintain popular open source projects receive a credit to
have 12 months of GitHub Copilot access for free. A maintainer of a
popular open source project is defined as someone who has write or admin
access to one or more of the most popular open source projects on GitHub.
Simply visit the GitHub Copilot subscription page to see if you are one of
the open source maintainers that meet our criteria for a complimentary
subscription. If you do, you should see that you can add GitHub Copilot
for no charge. If you see a charge on the purchase page then this means
that you do not qualify at this time. Once awarded, if you are still a
maintainer of a popular open source project when your initial 12 months
subscription expires then you will be able to renew your subscription for
free.

As the principal author of a project used by millions, working 100% on open source today, I can say it's not free for me. My code is being used to train your models, but I can't use your models without paying you. That goes against the spirit of my share-alike license.

"Write or admin access" is also a pretty crappy way of evaluating people. "Write or admin access" goes by politics, rather than by contribution. It's also hostile towards junior developers, who might not have commit access on projects which work by forks and PRs.

This also excludes folks like Richard Stallman who don't host their projects with you (not that he'd use copilot, but just saying).

github does a fine job reviewing nonprofits. It feels half-baked that it can't identify open-source contributors.

At the very least, you should enable anyone whose code you scraped to train codex to use codex. I can make codex spit out code very similar to code I wrote. It's clear it was trained on it, and is creating a derivative work.

How much tai chi have you done? Yoga? I'd invite you to do a couple classes of either and see how much they do or don't kick your ass.

Have you ever done static holds on the chin-up bar? Tai chi is static holds for 45+ minutes out of an hour and a half. My calves are bigger than when I was a cyclist, and my hams are granite. The first time I ever tried a plank, I held for 90 seconds. No gym, no situps, no crunches, just tai chi 90 minutes a week, plus walks and gardening.

Financially no doubt she was covered. Should worse come to worst, by the 1980's divorce could net her significant financial worth of the partnership.

But social credit for her achievements were rather small. It is one thing to have an editor, but quite another for the editor to be wedded to the job for just one writer. Every story/book bore his name, no matter that he happily credits her work in his personal missives.

And so social standards changing in this regard is for the better. But it's not like I think he is a monster - he is a product of his day as much as we are of ours.
