Author here, based on my reading of your comment, I think we're talking at cross purposes.

Your comment seems to be about how these technologies aren't useful for us in the present. AFAICT, it doesn't dispute that the knowledge was lost.

An additional interpretation is that you're interpreting my writing as being from someone who thinks that "the Romans clearly built it better" etc.

That's not the point I'm making.

Yes, we have napalm and recipes for it. Yes, we have digital computers that are incalculably better than the Antikythera mechanism. Yes, we can trivially manufacture better concrete.

And that's amazing, for us today, but how much better would it have been if we hadn't forgotten about these technologies in the first place and had continued to improve on them? Heron of Alexandria described building steam engines, what if we had continued to experiment on them for over 2k years? Where would we be now?

The loss in knowledge doesn't matter (as much) anymore in the present, but it has held us back, measurably so. For a thousand years, between the Antikythera mechanism and a few hundred years ago, we somehow lost their equivalent of Kepler's laws, some version of calculus, precision machining, mechanical computing etc. For over a thousand years, we have no records of anyone producing devices that approached or surpassed its capabilities.

What if the knowledge behind that device hadn't been lost and we were 1k years further along into our understanding of mathematics and computing?

That's the point here.

The point is that those technologies were exceptional at their time, but were still lost, and we are poorer for it, because it took away hundreds of years of erstwhile progress that could have been made had we remembered and kept building on them.

Happy to hear how I could make the ending better though!

Some fair points. However, many (most?) reusable grocery bags these days are made from jute, or a mix of jute and cotton, not cotton. Jute is much more environmentally friendly than cotton, and it can be rough so minimally processed. We're not talking about those highly-processed fashion cotton bags (that don't really replace plastic bags).
Some cloth bags are made with plastic, which is still better than single-use plastic bags (esp since one of those larger tote bags, like the kind at Trader Joe's replaces 4-5 of those plastic bags that supermarkets would bag your groceries in.

It's also not about how much plastic is used to create the plastic bags, it's how much environmental pollution is created from the bags.
I did learn from them (Foone prefers they/them pronouns). I kinda miss the chaotic energy Foone brought to the equation. Standups were fun. But I did also learn that it's okay to throw in the towel early if things aren't working out. It was a better work environment for me than I had at the prior job, but the job just wasn't for me.
I heard Apex runs pretty good on Linux via Proton
I likewise chose aescrypt as a tool that I could get my parents to install that would end up in their context shortcut menu. They wheedled out of doing so and I've kept using it via inertia.

No, we shouldn't. The world is running on fossil energy, and that energy is going to go down.

We should primarily work on preparing for a world with reduced energy.
Just read up on Bluesky, and it turns out most of the article is misleading or incorrect.

Bluesky was an initiative launched by Jack Dorsey while he was CEO of Twitter, and it was intended to develop a set of federated social media protocols and eventually move Twitter to those protocols. (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/11/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-anno...)

He hired a development team for it (led by Jay Graber) who still work on the project today, probably as employees of Twitter? Jack's role in the project is unclear, apart from being a board member of the organization.

I have no idea what the relations between all the parties are at the moment, considering Dorsey x Twitter x Musk x everything else that has happened since December 2019, but as far as I can tell Bluesky – while working independently – is still fully funded by Twitter. It is not Dorsey's company as everyone seems to believe.

Yeah, I know, my point is that ordinary installer should do the same with ordinary installer UI rather than trying to install every deb package over and over again, running its pre/post scripts, etc. What's the point? It should be deterministic anyway.
I have never been laid off or met with staff reductions. Terminated means fired.
On Linux: LUKS. On FreeBSD: GELI. On Mac: FileVault. On windows I guess I would use bitlocker though I rarely need it there.

So basically I use the default encryption. When I need to move stuff from one computer to another I encrypt the files individually with GPG (using openPGP keys on smartcard or yubikey)
What happened to web4? Is it over already?
Most "early access" games I've played were about as bug-free as I'd expect from an old-school v1.0 launch: you'd occasionally hit an obscure hardware combo that caused crashes, etc. but it very definitely "worked on their device"

When done well, it's about putting the concepts and mechanics in front of players, so that they can provide feedback. Maybe the magic system you have in mind is super confusing. Maybe you wrote a throw-away portion in a way that makes everyone think it's going to be central to the eventual plot.

With a small group of friends, you get a lot of bias - you'll build the game your friends enjoy. The easiest way to find out how a commercial audience reacts is to expose it to a large number of players.

Obviously there are BAD early access games that ignore this advice, but I've also played well-established games with numerous patches that are still full of bugs too.

Genuine questions, I'm just trying to understand what this feature is and why someone would want to use it.
No. From the video it is $250 for a 25,000 word book. Go to 48 minutes.

Just create a server for Republicans, marketed as "freedom-of-speech space", and an identical server for Democrats, marketed as "safe self-expression space". This way you lock in two of the largest audiences, and then you can focus on the long tail of libertarians, anarchists, etc.

The mass of the structure need not be entirely sourced Earth not should it. Space industries must eventually transit to resource extraction from the rest of the solar system rather than solely from Earth.

Labor is extraordinary expensive, yes, at first. That is because our robotic technology isn't good enough and that people don't live and work in orbit yet. That will change with time as we begin space colonization.
All the default options. BitLocker on Windows, FileVault 2 on macOS and LUKS on Linux.
It is pretty funny to “unveil” a social network in a blog post that links to a business page where clicking “Join” links to a job posting for a mobile developer.

If you go to bsky.app it has been “unveiled” that there’s a form to give strangers your email address to notify you when it’s been uh, double-unveiled or whatever.

With open source software you receive something very valuable: social capital, credit, respect.

Communism is where you do the work (or don't) and everybody is rewarded equally.

That's the Copilot model: you work hard to write the code, and receive nothing in return, because now everyone and their 10-year old brother can write it simply by asking for it... and your name never appears.

You were robbed.

This is so common in these kinds of studies that I tend to ignore them. I saw a similar one recently that linked certain types of meat and dairy consumption to longevity but didn't control for wealth. The real problem isn't diet but being poor.
Get on board the Superapp metatrain and recurse virtuous accelerated new economy activity. I think that is the vision.

Wow, thank you for that advice/warning. I didn't expect I could be fooled by GPT3. At some point in the future, yes, but not today. But I guess the time has come.
The problem with “wear a mask” is that people often won’t even know it’s there.
Not sure why you think it doesn't make sense pedagogically. Counting and numbers are taught before addition.

Then addition is "proved" in terms of those.

Then multiplication is "proved" using addition.

One building on the next.
Yes cryptomator works on Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

It also has some cool features like photo auto upload on mobile.

One thing it specifically lacks though it's FreeBSD support which leaves a huge gap in my personal workflow but it's unlikely to bother all but a handful of people in the world :)
Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Thanks a bunch for burying that in the PDF!
I'm talking more about things like you can't use apps that haven't been blessed by Apple without jumping through hoops, you can't easily install some third party OSS without installing XCode clutils, for a while you seemed not to be able to use sudo without booting into recovery mode and flipping some switch. Those kinds of things are 'developer-hostile' in my mind because they just make your life harder as a developer, and to what end?

I haven't upgraded and used Stage Manager yet so I don't have any opinion on it.
To illustrate this: Asbestos is only banned in spray-on insulation, pipe insulation, paper, flooring, and new uses. The actual reason its not used as much (and it certainly is still used) is because of the public opinion and threat of lawsuits.

So it's a satire?
It's the confluence of sales and religion. With these rhetorical tools, everything is a sales pitch. And when everything is a pitch, all conversation is commerce. A new world. A world where hype becomes real and reality is your plaything. We call it Xchange. Xchange your reality.

I wonder how long it will be until landfills become valuable mines. A lot of materials in them may certainly be reused again in the future. After all, everything is "recycling" on a long-enough timescale... and the fact that the stuff in landfills has already been processed once may be advantageous from the perspective of needing less processing when it's mined again, compared to something like crude oil.
Yeah, it's almost looks they're written by statistics professors trying to illustrate the concept of confounders.

It still blows my mind that a game genre I thought was the most niche of niches, that I played routinely in the early 2000s, has become one of the major influences in modern gaming today.

What tech needs is transparent salaries from businesses.

Buffer leads the way (https://buffer.com/salaries) and at my startup we have transparent salaries too (https://www.runn.io/careers)

I wish more tech founders would do the right thing - rather than trying to hide reality will only ends up unfairly hurting under represented groups and those who aren’t strong negotiators.
I'd love to see this future, but I wonder if a WASM VM can match the performance of something like V8 that is fine-tuned to run a single language well.
This is a great app. Reminds of Street Complete. I found Street complete to be a bit annoying to use with asking so many questions. This is much simpler and gives better control.

Someone should make an OS map editor/view which basically looks just like Google maps but uses open street maps under the hood. That will probably make it seemless to switch to open street maps.
what are the optical link budgets in this 8 km dark fiber path?

what's the tx launch power?

what's the frequency bottom end and top end, in nanometers or THz? does this all run in the normal ITU DWDM range from approx. 1528nm up to 1568nm, or wider than that?

what's the usable RSL threshold on the far end?
Tangentially related: when I run Gitea on a LAN server under a Tailscale hostname, and i have Tailscale SSH enabled, do I have to use Gitea's built-in SSH server with a custom port? When I try using port 22, even with PAM on (as requested by Gitea), sshing to gitea@hostname asks for my tailscale login then gives me a shell session (causing git push to fail). https://tailscale.com/kb/1193/tailscale-ssh/#advertise-ssh-o... says tailscale ssh "configures tailscaled to intercept all traffic from your tailnet that is routed to port 22 on the Tailscale IP address".

I suppose I could set an ACL to only make Tailscale SSH intercept logins to nyanpasu64, and not other users like root or gitea (I haven't tested if Tailscale will reject other users or passthrough to gitea). I'm not sure if I should only approve my account, all nonroot, or "all but root and gitea" (unsure if possible with current syntax).
I was able to """fix""" the graphical crashes and non-integer scaling problems by... going back to Xorg. :/

Wayland reliably crashes after a day (standby or no), and the resulting crash renders the sound codec hardware inoperable until I unplug the battery.

Xorg has had no issues. Well, except for the massive amount of screen tearing.
SLAAC with privacy protections (which MacOS and Windows both use by default) negate this. I only use a /128 for a short duration.

Answer one: we all have our hobbies; actually pig rearing is a bit quaint but perhaps not as obscure a hobbie as you might think. Like competitive marrow growing or something.

Answer two: pig farmers have sons and daughters who don't necessarily follow in their footsteps, just as you and I probably know more about <what our parents did/do> than the average <what we did/do>.
In a very quick & dirty read I couldn't understand what it's for. Could someone give me a practical example? I think a practical example is lacking in the introduction.
forget debugging, just configuring PAM is a freaking nightmare. oh and make a mistake? can't log in to fix it lmao. i got really good about keeping a root shell open after i made that mistake a few times.
> I'd love to see portable identity in Matrix come to life.

Well, fortunately Matrix is working on adding OpenID Connect support[0], so I guess the answer will soon be "Matrix identities are as portable as OIDC identities".

Unfortunately, however, that means "not very portable" in practice, but the OIDC people at least recognise that fact and are apparently working to fix it with an extension called SIOP (Self-Issued OpenID Provider).[1]

I wrote most of the server code for the project and I actually looked extensively at Loom.

We decided to anchor the project to LTS Java versions only. The issue with Loom is that as a preview release, you can't use it without introducing compiled code that is hard to deploy on new LTS versions. We ran into this with Java 14 and used a bunch of the preview features in that release. When we upgraded to Java 17, it caused a number of issues and we had to rebuild almost everything.

Once the next LTS has been released and Loom is top-level, we'll definitely look at using it as long as the Java community is willing to make the jump with us.

In the meantime, I think our threading implementation works quite nicely and scales really well. Let me know what you think if you review the code.
I love windows and wanted to give it a try, but the lack of OLED option is bothering me.

Can you comment about the battery life and the "traditional x86" workloads? Does it use a just-in-time compilation? (I haven't looked at the details yet)

Can you dual boot to a Linux arm64 distribution?
It sounds so much like the sleep track I use :D I was starting to relax just listening to it...

Web3 in theory means you, rather than the service itself own the data. In practice that's pretty much synonymous with "involves blockchain and/or cryptocurrency".
Buffer might lead the way with respect to transparency but at first glance those salaries don’t look very competitive.
> Sure, and having a drink is invariably the first step to drunk driving. That doesn't make having a drink = drunk driving.

Well yeah, but it sure as hell ain't orthogonal.

If you see a bunch of people sitting around drinking heavily at a bar with their cars parked outside and someone says hey what does any of this have to do with drunk driving you might raise an eyebrow.

Kind of like when you see a bunch of people who are supposed to be in direct ruthless competition with each other sharing lots of detailed price information.

The link you posted just reinforces my point that this is also how the law tends to look at these things.
Trust them how far? I don't trust my dog to perform surgery on me, but beyond that.. yeah I trust 'em.
Can you explain more about how moderation is first class? The protocol overview [0] mentions moderation only once, in a section titled "Speech, reach, and moderation," and it seems like moderation is punted off to third-party aggregators: "The Indexing services then enable reach by aggregating content from the network, analogous to a search engine."

Do people actually want even more social media in their lives? I get the feeling Instagram is a enough. then chat apps do the rest. all of these networks are on the decline. rehashing something old seems like its doomed to fail.
Always the first question is: what's your threat model?

For personal stuff, I can't do much about sophisticated attackers, pretty much only about random physical thieves who mostly just want the hardware.

Most likely scenario involving encryption: a laptop is lost/stolen, and some random thief/fence/buyer snoops around the drive to see if there's anything worth stealing. There isn't, but I'd feel violated to have some thief sifting through my personal stuff.

So, on laptops, I just use Linux LUKS.

On my custom Coreboot laptops, I have even the boot partition encrypted for LUKS, which seemed like a good idea at the time (I was peeved about Intel ME, and on a roll), but it's overkill for the random laptop thief threat. It also means I can't just move the drive to a system that doesn't have Coreboot with that feature set up.

Also, in general, try not to deny yourself access to your own data when you need it, in the process of denying it to others.
My M1 Macbook Pro did this already when I bought it last year, but it stopped working on a minor OS update. I wonder if this update will make it work again.
I'm partial to aggregators like this: https://dohliam.github.io/dropin-minimal-css/ since every one of these libraries tends to go for a different style.

Most of these (including yours) can be compared easily there.
They’ve got some good ideas in their protocol design but god damn it reads like urbit lite.

Why did you need to invent xrpc/lexicon? (which is not xml-rpc by the way) but a purposely leaky a schemafull RPC abstraction over HTTP with introspection.

Coulda honestly just used an real xmlrpc server at that point. They borrowed every concept except made it JSON. If nothing else it would have given you pre-built libraries for every language ecosystem.
Since every country still burn fossil fuels, burning oil (but used as plastic) should be not bad.
