So basically CURL will get support for IPFS by using a proxy service (which is bad for user privacy).

And said proxy could bounce your request around for max 30 hops before a random IPFS-proxy honors the request. This is horrible for user privacy.

Brave browser [1] at least has a native support for IPFS and no need for proxies at all.

> Other IPFS privacy concerns: Brave, the browser, has actual native IPFS support (not using any gateway) and they have an informative page called How does IPFS Impact my Privacy?

What I meant is that many banks do not offer fast payments/transfers as a service, but they could do it if they wanted.

The most common complaint I hear is that bank transfers take a long time to settle as a default at a protocol level, not that law enforcement manually interferes with them.

The second most common complaint I hear is that sometimes the transfer is impossible.

For the first there are solutions, newer SEPA transfer can complete in seconds because fraud checking is done faster; this requires some kind of widespread cooperation between banks and governments. For the second complaint there are often no (legal) solutions.
> Unless I'm mistaken, correlated means there is a relation

Well the short rude answer is you are mistaken. The longer answer is that some correlated things have underlying causal relationships: one causes the other, vice versa, or a third unspecified correlate is causative.

But see that word some ? It's important. Because some are entirely unrelated, and the word correlated is not co-related in a causative sense. You might find piracy corollelates with consumption of potato chips. It doesn't have to mean anything.

The relation goes to trend: up or down. Positive or negative correlation. Why? The "why" kind of related, is different. Correlation is observed relationship, not functional, actual, causative relationship until a mechanistc reason is found, or it's absence is understood, and it's just.. pirates and chips.

The problem here is english. "Related" has different meanings.
Part of the experience is in seeing it as an insta story. Maybe one day I'll put up a blog echoing the same feelings :)
This is silly. You could say the same for files CURLd from servers over http today. Did you know that when you download files from the internet, you're putting yourself at risk of the server tampering with your file before serving it to you??
Even if I did share them, its too late for GraphQL to make that change - they are design decisions and people probably already rely on them

Here is a few:

- Less fine-grained field selection - allow for fields selected by default. This would remove some of the need for optionals in languages that aren't able to dynamically create record types on the fly

- Implicit unions and union queries are really annoying to model in both OOP and FP languages. In FP disjoint tagged unions with no inheritance would work better; in OOP common interfaces but no ability to define unions would work better. As it stands, the mix makes it difficult on both language types to support a general schema. Unions based on optional fields (like in GRPC) are probably best-of-both-worlds here.
This seems to be the classic and ever-present failure mode of young tech companies. Obsession with "product features" that are visible to a CEO and easy to report on a roadmap, and disregard of "UX features" that are individually small but collectively would lead to a smooth and polished UX. I get very nervous that my current employer will start doing the same.
Not just birds. Early in the pandemic, mice played freely on the platforms of the almost-deserted London underground, and in Soho, rats who would normally hide around the bins of the now-closed restaurants emerged blinking into the sunshine. It didn't last long though, after 6-8 weeks the humans returned in smaller numbers (and usually on recently purchased mountain bikes).
Software code is not law. Law regulates software industry not vice-versa.

I post fairly often here about how terrible different studies are. And many are pretty bad!

This... is a horrifically bad take on the study.

> So, just world people are 13% more honest than the general population? How can you name the title then "General Belief in a Just World Is Positively Associated with Dishonest Behavior" when clearly, everybody is dishonest and these bunch were actually... less so?

What!?

How can you arbitrarily compare another study that used a different experimental design to this one? Just pick out two percentages that are totally unrelated, subtract them, and then complain about something?

This is like saying, 30% of bananas in my house are bad. 42% of cars on my street are red. Why do I have this huge 12% gap between the two!? What nonsense.

> I postulate academia strongly correlates with dishonesty.

I postulate that reading comprehension is important! And that maybe, if you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't dump on people's work?

That being said. There are issues with this study. In addition to MTurk being noisy, the primary problem is that the effect size is very small! The authors deftly hide this in the standard way by not plotting the raw data (likelihood of cheating vs belief in a just world), which would show a very small difference. This is yet again a case of "we found a statistically significant but likely meaningless and unlikely to be replicated difference".
Layman theory ahead. Empathy is a feature but it is in conflict with harsh parts of reality. Mind always tries to resolve conflicts either by action or by reinterpretation for it to work. When there’s no adequate action and no stops for reinterpretation (e.g. lack of knowledge or general intelligence), it has nothing to do but write it off as one’s own fault, fate, or natural balance. It is dishonesty by very design and it gave birth to many societal phenomena.
The problem with what GitLab did (but not with Docker or CentOS) is the potential data loss. The bait and switch is fine if it just causes a migration to some other service or an upgrade to a paid plan. Deleting users' old data is different, though. Even if it's not morally wrong, it's the kind of decision that makes me lose faith in a service.
Yup that's pretty annoying.
Docker offers official repos to always have the latest version, wish podman will offer something similar.
"Belief in a just world" is pretty vague, because it can mean both

1. That justice will eventually happen.

2. That justice has already happened, and what you're looking at that looks like injustice to you actually isn't.

I think everyone falls between those two extremes in practice.

Just because correlation doesn't equal correlation doesn't mean that correlation can't provide evidence that a model of behavior is correct.

When you can't measure something directly you make predictions of what it causes and then measure them. If that occurs it provides evidence that model is correct.
It’s definitely a market that will have some interest. I have a company with 20 people that’s doubling year over year and could use something exactly like this.

There are blockbuster Steam games which sell tens of millions of copies largely on the strength of an active volunteer modding community keeping them interesting, and no shortage of OS projects whose founding company profits from selling [derivatives of] that software to people that want paid software licenses.

Obviously it's less legitimate if you rugpull access to the existing base game or if your original OS project marketed itself as being always free everywhere...

Gitlab is far from a monopoly by any definition. The name for it is VC-backed capitalism. Burn through money to buy a market— run at a loss longer than your competitors can, then flip and start hiking prices once you are dominant. That was never a good strategy for Gitlab, though, so I’m surprised they took that road.

I tried to switch from XTerm to GNOME Terminal. It went well for a while, and better Unicode and emoji display was nice, but then a new version of GNOME Terminal came out which broke the ability to use the Meta keys for sending an ESC prefix; it is now hard-coded to only accept the Alt keys to do that. So I had to switch back to XTerm.
I agree, rootless was also the main blocker when I attempted my last migration in June. My goal was to run all my Docker containers as rootless Podman containers through systemd. The first service I ported was single-container, which made it easier. Still quite some work (like manually adjusting the podman-generated unit file, tracking down some weird-looking error messages, etc), but doable. Once you get to multi-container setups, I ran into even more issues (IIRC related to the linking of containers through a network, while staying rootless), so I gave up for the moment and started a Docker daemon for the rest of the services...

I'll save y'all the time and tell you what that something is: climbing organizational hierarchies. Executives are good at becoming executives: glorifying themselves, stealing credit, shifting blame, pandering to superiors' weaknesses and petty idiocies.

That's neat and quite a unixy solution but still fairly limiting. Are there any plans for a hybrid solution where most of podman runs as non-root via userns but invokes a suid helper to setup the network?
>>but they did have guns

Nope, most reports that protesters were "armed" are "stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs" and even that is an exaggeration by the media as the number of even those "weapons" were carried by a minority of people.

To date, I believe there are have been only 3 people confirmed to be carrying a gun that was not law enforcement, none of which have been charged with discharging or using those guns in any way.

when you say "they did have guns" most people think it was a armed resistance, it was not and to be most favorable to you it is simply an exaggeration to say it that way, but if I want to be uncharitable I would say you are engaging in disinformation

>they did beat people with flag poles.

Again here, this is an exaggeration, there was ONE incident of that, where ONE person hit another person with a flag pole, ONE.
Yeah, and because of that it quickly becomes useless in an apartment building surrounded by a few hundred 2.4GHz access points.

This take is bad. If you have been giving something away that your users rely on, then it is not unreasonable for them to get upset when that changes. Nobody needs a blog post defending Gitlab here. They are just suffering the expected outcome of their choices.
> - Faster network. Rootless Podman will run with native network speed. Normally rootless Podman runs with reduced network speed due to the performance penalty that comes from using slirp4netns.

Did they fix the IP propagation issue with Rootless networking ?
It makes it largely useless when the Proxy is also a container.

on Docker you can force it to use Slirp, but its slow and doesn't support IPv6.
>in a mere 30-50 years, we will be experiencing significant effects of societal collapse due to climate change

No, we won't. You have no evidence for this and nobody who studies the problem believes it. Furthermore, climate change doesn't work that way: the 50-year outlook is largely "baked in", and reforms made now are trying to change the 100-200-year outlook.
At least they're not changing pricing for already provisioned products until 31st December.

Garmin Outage – All Services Are Down
No, 63.3% of all participants got a favourable outcome, so 13% cheated (suggesting 26% would cheat if necessary, as half got a favourable outcome without cheating).

The participants all had varying degrees of belief in a just world which were measured with a six-item test. The results of that test correlated significantly with the chance of a favourable self-reported coin toss.

It is meaningless to draw inferences from comparisons to another study, as they were selected differently so there's no control, and it isn't necessary as this study contains a random and varied sample of participants.

Yes, there is a question over the representativeness of Mechanical Turk workers. But even though they're surely different on average from the average human, this study is controlled by comparing them to each other rather than to some pre-determined statistics, so the sampling bias should be largely cancelled out, barring second-order interactions.

> Apologising to people you’re letting go is condescending.

For me personally that depends on what the apology is for. If I recently joined a company and was laid off I’d be pretty pissed for having put time and energy into getting up to speed. In that situation I’d appreciate an apology for wasting my time.

If it was more of a “I’m so sorry you will now die in the gutters because obviously you were just on our payroll as a charity”-apology, then yes, that would be condescending. :)
These are privileged containers that can mount things and change kernel settings and do real virtualization.

What is the point, then, of doing all this in docker containers? If you're virtualizing with qemu anyway then why containerize?

I was expecting something like software (non-kvm) emulation in a userspace process in an unprivileged container, or perhaps UML, real brain-in-a-jar stuff.

Not entirely true. I don't mind that one bit. I can voice my opinion on what "we need", but ultimately that's not my decision and there are people hired to do that. I get paid to write it, I'm happy in that spot, and if I end up not having to deploy it, go through whatever baroque testing cycles are in place, or do the job of 3 with the salary of 1 by having to do sysadmin, DevOps, or whatever other fad du jour is sweeping the industry with fancy terms just trying to keep the CEO's in their millions, fine with me.

The electric feeling is actually caused by EMI reduction measures: per regulations, a Y2 class capacitor must be connected between live and earth in your laptop's power supply. If you connect your charger to an earthed outlet (like you should), the earth is going to absorb the resulting high-impedance supply. If not, the resulting voltage will be present on your computer's metal chassis, which must be connected to the earth per other regulations on electrical safety. Of course, since the capacitor has a high impedance (reactance, to be precise), no meaningful current can go through it, so the "seemingly mains-voltage" on your chassis isn't dangerous at all (as long as everything is working as intended)

They are frantically working to be the alternative to docker.

Just give them enough time and it will run in Ubuntu just fine.

Obviously it will happen after they get it feature complete on their own OS.

Given the amount of work need to achieve feature parity with docker (which I suppose Docker Inc tough was it's moat), they have no viable competition right now and so this strategy makes sense.
Interesting that the colo electricity cost goes up that much, that’s a lot more expensive than what I will pay as a normal consumer, I’d have thought they’d get better discounts.

I'm from southern India too, likely even from the same state Abhishek_Muthian is from, and this meaning of corporation didn't occur even to me when reading their comment. I was wondering if they meant the village had become a company town or something. Thank you for the clarification.
This blog post about cURL is saying that they will not do this, and will require a manual configuration of a gateway.

So Brave by-default uses a public gateway.

Yeah, the civilians and especially the children should've overthrown the government. They were totally asking to get nuked.

I have found more than one executive whose style is idiosyncratic but you don’t have to intuit it. They will interrupt, ask pointed questions, mansplain* and etc. to control the conversation so you fit to how they want to consume it. The problem I find is when in that mode they are unlikely to get the point because they don’t want to hear. They want you to say what they already want to hear.

* not a pc word but it sums up perfectly the communication style I can’t think of a better one. Maybe condescending?
That's an excellent point, and thank you for elucidating it for me.

Yes, current data for most of these things are estimates based on complicated extrapolations.

Being able to measure them more accurately, particularly in countries that don't publish any reliable information is going to be interesting.

As far as I'm aware the current new info is generally summarized as "worse than we expected" since overestimates (i.e. accurate estimates) would get heavy pushback without solid data to justify them.
Possible, yes, but probably the most widely used IPFS implementation – the Brave browser – does not implement this yet. They say they plan to in the future.
AZW3 is itself one of their "old" formats. Their new hotness is KFX which is some proprietary binary ever-shifting always-DRM'd even when "DRM-free" format.

Yes. These nuclear weapons were a more efficient way of obliterating a city through fire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo_(10_March_194...

It turns out that if you drop thousands of tons of incendiaries on a city made from wood and paper, you can kill a really large number of people at once.

We can re-litigate these questions, but I'm not sure we'll reach any answers. A more salient one is "how can we prevent this from ever happening again?" including "how can we prevent states from launching wars of aggression?"
