Is the latency of the Rust installation process important?

I can see why you would want it to be efficient, economical in bandwidth, and fast enough in all scenarios. But why does it need to be faster in situations where it is already quite fast?
That's a different statement though. Twitter hosts some terrible content. Hell, Cloudflare provides CDN-services for some terrible content. But I'm sure you wouldn't say that therefore they exist for the "express purpose" of doing that.
And all of them boil down to hearsay. I havent seen any actual evidence.
Yeah, same here. I didn’t go in with much expectations and found it interesting and well done. I’m eagerly waiting for episode 3.
I tend to listen to the same music that I like. Additions to my regular listening collection are fairly slow. So it isn't quite the same for me. If it were the nineties, I'd buy an album every few months. I could stop paying, and still have my music.

Admittedly, Spotify is good for instant access and discovery. But it costs more than what I would otherwise be spending on buying albums.
Yeah, the Emacs UI is definitely a bit lacking. It could be greatly improved if they embraced Gtk a bit more. Especially if some widgets could be handled from elisp. But what it lacks in polish, it often makes up with usability, once you are a more advanced user. And of course, the sky is the limit for customizability.

I haven't used the recent versions of ACL and LW, so I cannot make a direct comparison, but for the experienced user, Emacs offers a lot of productivity.

You might look at webdav instead, which has actual existing library implementations (unlike NFSv4), supports user/pass auth (in some cases you don't want wide-open services on loopback) and is based on HTTP; that would make the whole thing easier. Various projects offer a webdav combat layer, see cryptomator for one example: https://docs.cryptomator.org/en/latest/desktop/vault-mountin...

I went down the NFS road long ago - I somewhat (??) remember that coaxing macOS to mount_nfs on loopback is actually a PITA (I remember having to activate 127.0.0.* and mount 127.0.0.2).
Mille Bornes is a clone of Touring plus a few things:

Dujardin described 1000 Bornes,1 as “la Canasta de la Route,” but the game is not based on canasta but rather on William Janson Roche's 1906 classic Touring, with the addition of safety cards and the novel Coup fourré play. - the article at hand

I'm not sure of the specifics with Homebrew, but with MacPorts, I have both PHP 7.4 and 8.1 running via FPM and serving sites rather trivially. The basics: Install both php74-fpm and php81-fpm, configure the former to put its socket at /var/run/php74-fpm.sock and the latter at /var/run/php81-fpm.sock, configure nginx's domain-specific config files to look for the FastCGI socket that the respective path, use MacPorts to load both daemons, and away you go. I imagine a similar approach would be possible with Homebrew.
with US law enforcement, for actual criminal activity. null told the new zealand police to get lost when they ordered him to take down the video of the mosque shooting; rightly so.
One who did not impress with critical thinking skills, was swatting victim (and notorious US right-wing politician) Marjorie Taylor Greene. The person phoning in false reports on them literally did this, as transparently as possible. Via KnowYourMeme:

> According to a police report obtained by the Daily Dot, a caller tipped the police to inform them that a man had been shot five times in a bathtub in Greene's home. Police arrived at Greene's home and confirmed no such incident had occurred. The tipper then called the police department again and, using a computer-generated voice, explained the motive for their false tip was their opposition to Greene's stances on transgender youth's rights. They also stated they were a Kiwi Farms user and said their username was AltisticRight, an admin on the site.

And Marjorie Taylor Greene actually believed that the tipper told the truth and supported the deplatforming of the site. So much for the "politically incorrect" being any better on this sort of thing.
Those prices are derived from a site called NiceHash that tries to commodify hashpower. Most people who want to monetize their mining hardware, just... use it to mine, not lease it to a reseller. So both the supply and demand are low. It's a weird market imo.

The last column is important to understand. It's answering the question: if you rented NiceHash's entire supply of compute power, how close would that get you to launching an attack? For any crypto worth caring about, the number is 0% or close to it. And for the others where it's >= 100%, attacks are a common issue for exactly this reason.
Whoever still puts out a phone book is going to be in big trouble.
People aren't just ignoring Kiwi Farms and letting them know that no one likes them, people are shooting them down (with DDoS attacks). And if they make use of services that are intended to prevent that, people shout these services down until they comply. How is that fundamentally different from what Kiwi Farms was doing itself? If null kills themselves, are you even? Is the anti Kiwi Farms crowd just as bad as Kiwi Farms? Or will it be fine if he was a bad person? What if the people on Kiwi Farms thought the people they were harassing are bad people?

I think this is yet again another example of a group of people thinking that something bad is not bad if it happens to the right people and another group thinking that something bad is bad no matter who does it. I am firmly in the latter group and to me Kiwi Farms and the people that kept harassing Cloudflare all look like bloodthirsty psychopaths with the difference being that the Kiwi Farmers knew they were disgusting and horrible and the others thinking they are brave saviors.
A 2-4 hour chunk of work is 1 day of work. By that measure, ideally each engineer would hit 5 points per week.

Managers like to think, if an engineer can do 1 point in 4 hours, then they should be able to do 2 points in 8 hours. But that's not how it works.

The average office worker is only productive for about [3 hours a day](https://www.vouchercloud.com/resources/office-worker-product...). The upper bound is [4-5 hours a day](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/productivi...). More than that is unsustainable and leads to burnout.

This is why people prefer remote work. Seeing coworkers in person is nice, for sure. But management still assumes people work 8 hours a day, meaning office workers spend most of their day trapped in the office pretending to work, which is a huge waste of time.

Most of the arguments in vinyl sounding better center on original masters being pressed directly to vinyl “biscuits” without an intermediate step while CDs go through a compression step before they are digitized. These days, that’s rarely true. If original masters are used for too many high volume pressings, they wear out (physically), so the masters are often digitized before they go to vinyl. This sparked some controversy recently regarding a Michael Jackson repress with an ironic twist that nobody could tell the difference or noticed until the mastering engineer slipped up and let the cat out of the bag.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms It doesn't seem a very controversial statement.
This 'solution' to high energy prices is already in place in France and the UK, but energy prices in both of those countries are very high.
The first amendment is designed to protect people from government. That's it. It's beyond clear in its text. Courts have ruled time and time again finding speech that harms people is most certainly not protected. We have laws that deal with slander, libel, harassment, and speech that does not pass the clear and present danger clause does meet the criteria for "free" speech.

I don't understand how anyone can look at the first amendment text and believe anything else. The only people that think they should be allowed to say whatever they want and face no repercussion are people that simply do not understand the first amendment.
> I remmeber seeing stereo systems for 50,000$ and more.

These absolutely still exist. What's changed, to an extent, is that they're a bit less fashionable; whereas in the 80s any self-respecting rich person needed a hifi that cost as much as a small house, today, this is largely the preserve of (rich) enthusiasts.

The vast majority of people would have had relatively low cost stereo systems which were, by and large, far worse than their modern contemporaries, tho.

Piling on:

> So instead of setting a goal to create the complete software system from the beginning, you set a goal that can be accomplished within a fixed timeframe that people can make reasonable estimations in and that will test some of your key assumptions about the software.

In Kanban you can do all of that, except faster. Instead of waiting for the arbitrary sprint boundary, you can immediately evaluate an item that has landed in production and immediately re-prioritize the backlog based on any learnings. That would be compared to: we will deploy this in sprint A, then in B we will see the results, and then in sprint C we will work on our updated items. The latter is a many week delay compared to assigning tasks in strict sequence of "ship/measure/adjust".

In the worst case, you ship at the beginning of a sprint and then instead of working on the next priority thing (that you learn from having shipped), you instead keep working on the other sprint items. At that point, it could be waterfall, working on items that you now know are pointless, but you still have to anyway because it was planned some time prior to do so.

I have no domain knowledge here, just curious
As if human beings have transparency? Why does that matter? People don't have to explain themselves any more than corporations do. Government entities don't have transparency either. When the FCC or SEC or whoever takes some action, we don't know how may of their employees agree with that action. One administration spend years fashioning the TPP or Paris accords or Iranian agreements and the next administration can pull out a year later.

I echo your concerns. On teams I've been on (exclusively at large, boring organizations), I've seen a tendency to create lots of really trivial tasks, and also to game things via pretending these tasks are more complex than they are.

It's easy to nail your estimations when you're operating at 1/3 your capacity, and you only ever meet but don't exceed the planned velocity.

I wonder if this also disincentives learning and innovation in the solution domain - because that would throw off all those estimates.
We all know where this line of dialog goes. Someone posts the thing and then you or someone else responds with, "it's clearly a joke," a "one off," "doesn't speak for all of KF," "not a regular user," "not affiliated with KF," "doesn't actually cause harm," or any other response.

Sorry but the pro-KF well has been poisoned - ironically by KF users and supporters themselves. It's an absolute self punch in the face. Why don't you describe what your evidentiary level of acceptibility is first and then we provide the evidence?

I'm asking because, honestly, I don't think it exists. I dont think any level of evidence would be satisfactory. Happy to be proven wrong though.
This is one of the major problems with understanding how China operates. We view China through a Western lens, and just assume we are right - which has very bad policy outcomes. If you read a lot about how the CCP operates (I specify the CCP to differentiate the CCP running the PRC since 1949 from the ROC who fled to Taiwan), it is highly probable that those companies share the same database and have common state ties.

If you want data on this assertion research "capitalism with socialist characteristics." If you want the data straight from China read their 14th 5-year plan (I wish the US had these kinds of plans) translated by Georgetown University here [1]. China is very open about what they are doing in published writing.

If you want more information read "The World According to China" by Liz Economy. I can suggest about 10 other books too, but that book was published in 2022 and is the most relevant book I read. Unfortunately China's government from a Western lens is such a complex topic I can't simply link to one article about how China runs its economy and "private" organizations to prove my point. This complexity unfortunately leads to people making false assumptions about how China operates without the requisite knowledge - and then deciding how we should make policy decisions towards China.

> If I were to threaten to shoot your kids if you again post something that I don't like, while making clear that I know where you live, my speech will certainly impede with your ability to express yourself freely, or wouldn't it?

You're right, certain speech, like direct threats of violence can impede on other people's right to freedom of speech. But such speech is illegal even in the US and also banned on Kiwi Farms.
The terms also don't define "intellectual property". Or "respect". Or "that".

Reasonable belief is a well understood concept. It doesn't need a definition in the terms of service. A judge reviewing a complaint by a party against Samsung will understand what "reasonable belief" means.

> But you still have no digital rights.

I think you're confused. It seems like you want Samsung to not have digital rights. You have digital rights, but not to use someone else's system in a manner which they don't want. If they operate a system, they have a right to specify how users can and can't utilize the system. You have the same rights.
I guess I'm ignorant then! When I looked up domain sockets and so on it turned out to be different APIs for different OS:s, and it's significantly nicer to rely on a single API surface from the std lib. Maybe it's a habit thing as well, but to me pipes are more esoteric and harder to find docs about than network sockets.
This really shows again that there is no use in giving in to angry Twitter mobs. There is something not quite right with them and even if they are given what they want, you are still the bad guy because it took too long. It happens again and again and people and institutions still give in.
Companies have started prohibiting mass arbitration in their ToS in response.

Edit 1: Since people requested an example, here's Adobe's:

> The Notice of Claim must provide Adobe with fair notice of your identity, a description of the nature and basis of your Claim, and the relief you are seeking, including the specific amount of any monetary relief you are seeking, and cannot be combined with a Notice of Claim for other individuals.

Edit 2: Here's Venmo's, which is more comprehensive (https://venmo.com/legal/us-user-agreement/):

> You and PayPal agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and PayPal agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person's or party's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other PayPal or Venmo customers.

> Doxing, as in compiling public information about people on the internet did happen, but …

There’s no “but” here. This is a common talking point defending this forum — “at least they didn’t explicitly do something worse” — but doxxing is unethical and illegal. Period. This forum encouraged, enabled, and glorified it.

> the forums were not about swatting and doing so is against the spirit and the rules of the forums. That said if someone was swatted it is fair game for that event to be documented on the forums.

This is bullshit designed to evade responsibility with a wink and a nod. The forum provides the means and glorifies the result, but believes that its hands are clean because they don’t explicitly setup a SWAT autodialer.

I recently met several 'carnivores' who eat one to two pounds of meat every day, and only meat, dairy, fruit, honey, and water -- no other carbs, no sugar, no rice, no pasta, no bread, no wheat, no corn, no veggies(!) (apparently a lot of vegetables have something called "oxalates" and that's bad, though I know nothing about the topic), no alcohol, no nuts, no seeds, no seed oils, etc. They swear by it. I'd imagine that carnivores can probably estimate their red meat consumption very accurately, though I didn't ask the ones I met recently -- they were pretty sure of how much meat they eat each day, so I assume it's trivial to x365 to get "how much beef they had in the last year". Well, maybe not that trivial because some of them also have pork and chicken?

My 8 and 11y old daughters love playing it. They really don't mind the old card design. We also built a "circuit" with cardboard where we use my old micro machines cars to visualize our trip.

We also play with our own rules where there is no need to find a greenlight after reparing/changing wheel/refueling the car. Otherwise it is always the player getting the 'véhicule prioritaire' (aka firefighters card) who win and it spoils the fun.
Dense vector search in Solr is a welcome addition, but getting started requires a lot of pieces that aren’t included.

> Even if CF is within their ability to censor KF, I think it's immoral for them to do so on the basis of freedom-of-speech as a doctrine, which I believe in myself. What speech does KF publish that is unacceptable?

Cloudflare isn’t censoring Kiwi Farms, but I’ll answer your question anyway. Kiwi Farms is a space for people to collaborate on the intimidation of others. It is an inherently anti–free speech project. It causes people to be afraid to post publicly online, for fear of malicious people stalking them. It causes people to avoid talking about the abuse, for fear of being targeted themselves. At worst, it caused people to take their own lives to escape the harassment — the ultimate in silencing someone else.

The free speech rights of Kiwi Farms’ victims are no less important than its users. Its removal from the Internet is a net win for freedom of speech.
Not if they also control a marketplace where they have the opportunity to favor their own products over competitors. That is a perversion of capitalism. The marketplace should be run by an independent firm without a conflict of interest.
"The first interesting thing is that while the structure, the charter and all that sounds about normal for any corporation, they had less than 200 people until the 1800s in the London office, part time clerks and all. That is efficiency!"

The article reads as if the company was run very efficiently, yet it made India one of the richest countries in the world, with a population of 300 million very poor and in return transferred wealth to London, making a much smaller population richer but only for a shorter period. This is very inefficient, as they looted the trades and spices which helped Indians live within their means and instead created industries that were propped up on instable economics.
If someone neglects to clear their home area of burn material, and their house catches fire then burns their neighbors house - there certainly is a liability.

I took the founders course and was going to do a submission of some past work for YC2022 just to see what would happen. However I stopped short of that because it doesn't seem to be my best work, it doesn't have a large user problem, and it is just a "broken toy" thing.

I would like to figure out what I can do to find a problem first, but I'm not sure of where to look. The cool idea I have for music publishing related startup just has a book reference, no users involved yet :\.

> And nowhere near the power needed if everyone switched to EVs.

This is pointless argument. We don't have enough EVs for everyone to switch to EVs.

It looks like the bottleneck will be EV production, not wind & solar adoption.

We only need to quadruple solar panels in the US to provide all electricity necessary for ALL cars to switch to EVs...

This looks like it'll happen within 10 years. We won't be 100% on EVs in 20 years.
