That's been abandoned, right?

The last "News Milestone" is May 3, 2004, and I can't find any other timestamps or dates on the website.

It'd be OK for a project like that to have old, frozen software versions as long as it receives security updates, but the website makes it damn near impossible to assess whether any maintenance is taking place at all.
I don't think Mastodon is meant to be a replacement for Twitter, or will ever be that. It would be a mistake to treat it that way.

It's more like this place than Twitter, in a way.

Or, it's kind of similar to how Usenet was in the early 90s.

It's a simple linear feed of who've subscribed to, or what the people you've subscribed to have "boosted". So you find the interest groups you're into and join a node that matches that, then find the people you like on various nodes, and follow them. There's no recommendations really. There's hashtags, but few ways to "discover" them and they don't seem to get heavily used right now.

It's maybe like Twitter when it first launched. Certainly not what it became (which I never personally participated in).

It certainly doesn't have the level of "action" or "engagement" you'd find on Twitter. And that's probably a good thing.
I have to pass the fiber cable through conduits that are not very large and they are not straight. So I will need to use a pull line. Using pre-terminated fiber will either bock or destroy the connector.
I would argue that when Yahoo decided to remove all the porn off Tumblr that it caused a major brain drain that took a long time to recover. It also soured the relationship between bloggers and Yahoo. There was no way for the same entity to pull out of that nose dive but a bit of time and new ownership helped pivot Tumblr to a slightly different crowd.
My step-mom told me that she came out of a major depression in her 20s by ignoring herself and focusing on what she could do for others to ease their pains (volunteering, etc.).

It seems solid advice since part of the problem with depression in general and your description seems to be the inward focus on yourself...

Also, I'll add we like different things: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!”
I've felt the same way for over 15 years, no solution in sight.
I've tried the meds for many years, I've tried therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and many other things and nothing has worked.
I've also started to feel less interested in things I thought I was interested in.

The only thing really keeping me alive and fighting is my girlfriend and my family, which I have pretty poor contact with if I'm honest, but I still don't want to upset them.
The only reason this is upvoted on HN is because it aligns with the overall zeitgeist of the people most active here.

If the ideology was reversed, say replace Nazi with Antifa, it would be flagged before it got half way down the new posts page.

So in some ways, everything is working as intended. This is what people want to read.
I posted the quote and I didn’t down vote your post. I was however confused how you found either question from what I posted, Hamming codes are not mentioned, neither is the idea Hamming created assembler. I mean it seems like deliberate trolling.

The take away from the quote posted, to me, was the fact that at one time assembler was a huge innovation. Today it is seen as so low level no one would ever bother with it. But from Hammings perspective it was a huge boon to productivity.
The Nifty Fifty is a forgotten lens? Since when?

It's a classic, super cheap and usually very fast prime that's a recommended starter prime on every photography website I've ever visited.
> In other words, the results are better, but not enough to make up for the fact that Telsa can't support additional sensors without incurring a prohibitive amount of additional risk to Tesla. Risk to passengers doesn't appear to be a consideration.

You may be right about the actual decision process Tesla went through, but Karpathy is right in principle. One of the first things he says is "there can be problems with [the sensors]", and a lot of what he mentions increases the risk of run-time failure, not just cost.

It's easy to cast this as an optimization problem where you're trading off asymptotically improved sensing for linearly or superlinearly increased failure rates. There's certainly a point where the complexity of more sensors or certain types of sensors outweighs any marginal benefit they provide.
> There was no workaround published when he commented.

There was, I'd posted it an hour earlier than their comment.

> Why not just use the working workaround link in the first place?

Who knows, who cares. It takes < 20 seconds to get an archive.org copy and post it yourself. Only a few seconds more than it takes to whine, and a lot more productive.

Temperature window for bacterial growth. Above about 120F harmful bacteria commonly found in water won't proliferate, but will survive. As you get hotter from there, they're killed off increasingly rapidly. Above 135 or 140 or so they don't survive long. In cold water they won't die off but also won't multiply quickly. The dangerous range is in the middle.
Decentralization doesn't mean hosting your own instance. It's about open protocols. There are hundreds or thousands of email providers that you can use and still send an email to a Gmail user without hosting your own instance.
Do you have data/studies for either side? Genuinely interested in this, because intuitively it makes sense - sleep deprivation amplifies emotions - but I also have experienced first hand that long term sleep deprivation slowly deteriorates my emotional state.
The internet is awash in encrypted private messaging systems, why does Mastodon need one too?
Designing comensation systems for other people is a people management tasks. How do you envision a situation where ICs are doing management tasks but not given the title and/or pay of a manager?
It's called a power move. I can lie and there's nothing you can do about it.
We use it in production for our products at https://ark.fm and are actively working to move all of our Rails apps over to Crystal which ironically this framework looks great and may be a good choice for us. (Thank you to the author!)

Our email service runs an image proxy (to hide your IP from email trackers) with probably about 30-50 lines of code in Crystal that's been in production for multiple years and it just works.

Current project (in the cloud hosting space) that will heavily use Crystal for backend management and WASM which was recently introduced into Crystal and is a game changer for our use-case.

Also wrote a command-line tool with it and it feels like I'm cheating at how easy it is to do so.

Coming from the Ruby/Rails world where you have to cap deploy/bundle etc to push to a production server and hoping nothing breaks on dependancies makes Crystal's single binary deploy a breath of fresh air...not to mention the performance. We run our own hardware so being able to (eventually once we've moved over fully to Crystal) run the same workloads on LESS hardware with electric prices spiking is financially attractive.

As you can tell I'm a fan boy. I'm betting heavily on Crystal and going all in with our stack.

Did I mention it is fast?
Ignoring the corruption claims that people have already addressed, what's the basis for "racist" on your claims for the left leaning candidate?
Kagi (the search engine) is built on Crystal.
The Crunchy Bridge CLI is written in crystal: https://github.com/CrunchyData/bridge-cli/. The program that monitors databases is likewise a crystal program. There are a few other crystal programs rolling around.

My biggest grievance with Crystal is the lack of incremental compilation. I understand why it's difficult to achieve given the language model, and some of the conveniences of that model. I've been watching the Crystal Interpreter with interest, it would be pretty cool if it could speed up my `M-x crystal-spec-line` interactions, along with all the other usual benefits of an interpreter.

On the other hand, there's a lot to like about Crystal: it has a convenient yet powerful type system, good error messages, good support for invoking C subroutines in libraries, and generates efficient object code in a straightforward manner.

Refactoring tools are nice (I guess; I've honestly only used them in Java; I'm mostly an Emacs person), but my main gripes with Ruby maintenance are harder to fix with type annotations:

- In duck-typed languages you have to write a lot of tests to do verify things that the compiler does for you in statically typed languages. That neuters much of the benefit of the concision of such languages. Crystal shoots for the best of both worlds. (Static type checking, but usually without explicit signatures.) My main refactoring tool in statically typed languages is the compiler: if I break something, it'll tell me.

- Monkey-patching, open classes, etc. I do it too. Pretty much every Ruby-ist does. But it makes it damn near impossible to track down bugs sometimes, because even finding out what file the relevant code is in isn't trivial. Again, Crystal seems to mostly side-step that pitfall.

- Speed. I don't even attempt to write fast code in Ruby (though I have written a few C++ extensions for Ruby in a pinch). But if I could get near-to systems-language level performance out of something that was almost Ruby, that'd be pretty amazeballs.
I'm curious why you thought that was relevant, then.
Moreso than AI, ML will continue to integrate into business and improve overall productivity. I don’t worry so much about monopolies in AI, because compared to the business solutions from ML — which are often much smaller, boutique models that perform more efficiently than large, general purpose models.

I believe the soon to be realized lesson is that solving one specific problem is significantly cheaper than trying to leverage much more expensive models built to solve a great many problems.

There’s still a lot of runway left in “small” models (eg BERT) that are still being researched and augmented to solve common business problems. 10 years from now, I believe some form of the current models will become industry standards as methods for solving specific problems.
Well water stays very consistent year round in most areas.

Some municipal systems vary more depending on where they get it and how they store it. Water towers used to smooth out water demand for example can noticeably impact water temperatures.
Given the reports that have been coming from Brazil, this will almost certainly be a "win" for Bolsonaro.
By exercising every day and playing a music instrument.
If you can't exercise, just do a ~2 hour walk (in any weather). Go out and walk.
Same with music, if you don't know how to play, just make sounds with it. Any sounds, the way you can. I use my bass guitar as a stress ball. I can't play it in a conventional sense, but I can make sounds I like and it helps me.
Just like phpbb is nazi friendly because nazis can run their own phpbb forum server.
> Of course he missed the whole point, that it may not be realistic today, but it was an aspirational vision of a better future.

It’s not realistic because it’s fundamentally either autistic or straight up dehumanizing and authoritarian. People have deconstructed the Star Trek universe and themes ad infintum at this point, but I don’t think anybody is missing the point just because they find it distasteful.
My side project https://totalrealreturns.com/ is now about 5k lines of Crystal. There are some rough edges: in particular I think it could use a better templating solution (a port of HAML would be ideal!), and there are some failure modes with the Redis connection pool that have required workarounds.

This includes unit tests: the built-in spec framework is great and much like rspec. https://crystal-lang.org/reference/1.6/guides/testing.html

I'm now starting to use Crystal for internal backend infrastructure and microservices.

For anyone who wants to kick the tires on Crystal, I built a crystal-docker-quickstart project template: https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart works without having to install anything locally. (Assuming you have docker.) You can have your own, home-built "Hello world" static binary in under a minute:

git clone https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart.git my_app && cd my_app && ./d_dev
# in the shell that appears:
make && out/my_app

Then just edit src/main.cr and you're off and running :)
Cultural norms are often described (and perceived) as being ~sacred (beyond reproach, discussion, etc).

After the events of January 6 at the capital (the "literal" coup attempt), "Democracy, our most sacred institution" quickly coalesced as a common sound bite across the mainstream media complex.

As religious people are reluctant to question the axioms of their religion (as a consequence of psychological conditioning, at least in part), I propose the same general phenomenon (and causes) exists with respect to "facts" and power structures within culture.

To be even more clear: I believe that "democracy", the flavors that are currently practised in this era, are highly illusory...and, I also believe that most people have ~"cognitive viruses" within their mind that activate when any criticism of democracy arises, plausible artifacts of which can be seen in massive quantities across social media conversations. /r/politcis is famous for this sort of thing, but on certain topics it is not difficult at all to find the same thing on HN.
IT operations engineer? How about sysadmin?
I'm no power-plant engineer, but vaguely remembering back to thermodynamics 101, in a perfect heat-engine efficiency is relative to the temperature delta.

You can't just turn heat to electricity, so below a certain threshold it's only good for warming spaces.
I am not a native speaker and I have always found US news headlines to be weirdly constructed to the point I can't tell if it's a normal headline or if there's a mistake in it. What's worse is that in my native language I also notice a decline in the quality of writing, to the point where sometimes whole sentences are indecipherable.

In this case I only needed to read it once. I often feel like "that" and "and" words are dropped in headlines. I suppose it saves some precious bytes. /s
Dawn of “Moon Landing” Season 2: Old memories from NASA’s film studio
The humor also drops off significantly after the first few episodes. My impression was it was greenlit on the premise of "Family Guy in Spaaaaaace" but overall he wanted something more serious so the humor is reduced a bit as the it progresses and the stakes are raised in the stories.
Ukraine and Russia are conventional inclusions in Europe due to their membership in Christendom (and, relatedly, close ties to Greece/Byzantium).
Serotonin and dopamine transport in social anxiety disorder after treatment
I see. It shines on old hardware.
Given Andrej's explanation this verges on mere gainsaying. Could you expand on what you think they should be doing? Other firms would also encounter "entropy", they always do; what's your way of reducing that severely?
No, it's still federated. But my account of alice@foo.com follows bob@bar.com

Bob registers his new Twitter handle so I, Alice, can find it on the central service of Twitter.

A mapping of users to users can be across any service, including centralized to centralized (ie Twitter to Facebook) or decentalized to decentralized (IE Diaspora to Mastadon). It is just saying this string registered somewhere else as that string.
I haven't been completely unaware of those and other things. But vast majority of my history classes and bringing up focused on nazi germany being the sole responsible for everything WW2 and how we beat them. And then soviets being the commies and the enemy of the free world. And then the wall came down and everything was swell again.

So yes, I have been ignorant. Of which I am sorry. I may be late in the game, but let's put it out a loud: where are the russians living outside of russia that are protesting against russias war on Ukraine?
Those verified active users are the lifeblood of the platform, but there can't be that many of them to justify rolling unnecessary obstacles in front of them.
That seems like a more realistic suggestion to me.
If you want to take this further, switch to taking Navy showers: get wet, turn off shower, apply soap, turn on shower to rinse off.
Visually build and simulate electronics in a browser?

Definitely going to share this with my kids!
This is a big reason. Another is a feeling, common in better developed regions, that their tax money is being used to sustain regions that "don't pull their weight"

What's your definition of Rails clone? MVC? If it is, sure, yeah, this and a whole bunch of other frameworks are Rails clones. Laravel is a Rails clone. Django is a Rails clone. We're all Rails clones!

Does the design of some of the logic look heavily-inspired by Rails? Sure, and I think it's a great choice.

But in reality, calling it a Rails clone is a disservice to Rails. Rails is much more than MVC and patterns implemented from Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. The power of Rails isn't in any single one of the patterns — sure, it may have started that way when it was common to ship PHP copy-pasted from php.net and deployed using Filezilla (or explorer.exe!) — but since, what, 2.3? the power of it has been it's ecosystem: nothing can come close to the vastness and maturity of Rubygems.
Some things to take into consideration:

- Optimizing the microbiome. There’s tons of studies around various strains and methodologies etc. You could benefit from just eating no sugar and more fiber, or you could be in need of a fecal matter transplant. Unfortunately the microbiome and its effects on health is still not that well understood.

- Light therapy, or photobiomodulation with near-infrared light has some promising studies. I’ve personally used it to great effect.

- Magnesium supplementation has been shown to work in some treatment-resistant cases (obviously only works if you’re deficient). Mg is quickly eliminated via kidneys, so lower doses spread over the day might work better.

- Check Glycine levels (or just try a supplement, it’s cheap). Low levels are linked to depression. It also improves sleep usually, a nice side effect.

- Anything that lowers inflammation in the brain could work well in treatment resistant depression.
It's funny, I'm a big PKD fan and I didn't care for Ubik. I enjoyed the first half or so of VALIS immensely but my favorite of his is A Scanner Darkly.

I think, in 2022, people will understand Scanner better than they used to or maybe it is on the verge of being outdated?
Sometimes even if they have points, their analysis is asinine. They could hold their own in a debate, but do I really want to see TNG through their lens? We get out of it what we want, and they search for technical inconsistencies in search of flaws.
Why not go all the way to “Twitter features Mastodon good no have”? Headline impact improved 27%, promotions all around!
Email is decentralized. It's mature enough that there's a bunch of trusted providers out there and you can use it without caring about the technical details, it's basically a perfect example of a successful mature decentralized service.
It's fair to say you can pick a Mastodon server based on rules that make sense to you, which is not the case for Twitter. If your server admin starts posting nutty propaganda (as Musk did today; https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/elon-musk-new-owner-twi...), you can migrate somewhere else in a matter of minutes.
My boys (ages 10 and 12) bring me more joy than anything else in my life ever has. At least so far anyway.
Mnet should be able to CWDM (of they don't just have a fiber to spare for it) you a link on the DSLAM's fiber uplink.
Provided the building owner allows the fiber from the DSLAM to you.
They could also put an Ethernet switch needy to the DSLAM so more people could share one uplink connection.
idk, I don’t doubt that Lula is corrupt and flawed, but Bolsinaro is one of the most authoritarian right-wing leaders I know. While Id rather have a reasonable right-wing leader than a racist corrupt one on either side, I’d rather have a racist corrupt left-wing leader than an even more racist, corrupt right-wing
Not what the betting markets are showing. Gone up from 70% chance for lula to win to 93% in last couple of hours.
Meeting Overload Is a Fixable Problem
What state is that? I had the same experience in AggSeg at two different facilities.

Automated lights? What's the torture there? It sounds nice. In fact the only real complaint I had (besides some behavior of the COs) was that in AggSeg, they don't turn off the lights at night. Something about safety and making their inspections easier. You have to devise something to cover your eyes to make it easier to sleep.

Your story about leaving your cell for free time in shackles and cuffs is also a little suspect. These facilities have remote locking cell doors in AggSeg units. Even the older facilities have this with pneumatic locks. They let you out into an area and give you commands over intercom. You are almost never in the same room as a CO. There is no reason for shackles. Getting an AggSeg customer into shackles and cuffs is a whole affair, and dangerous, no one is doing it on a routine basis just for free time, when they have remote locking doors. Also, this is also your time to use the shower, so shackles? no.

You're right about incessant screaming though.
They are also fairly power-hungry from what I heard.
He's just lost the lead, though.
Tomcat et all, all the swing-wing aircraft were the solutions of an interim era in which the engines were still not yet developed enough to make up for the drag that wings with low angles induced, but the aircraft needed such low-sweep-angle wings in order to be able to take of and land in short distances.

From MIG-23 to Tomcat to F-111 to less-known Su series to Tornado to whichever example you can imagine, were designed in this period.

Then engines got much stronger. They overcame the drag from low sweep angle wings and readily pushed aircraft to the barrier of 2000 km/h speeds. It was also discovered that at 2000 km/h you fly like a brick and there is not much room for manuevering or doing anything. It was also discovered that the practical max was 2500 km/h, and beyond that you either use titanium like in SR-71 and keep the aircraft light so that it couldn't do anything but recon, or, just accept that your aircraft would burn and crash if it exceeded that speed. Even the successful and widely used MIG-25 had 2500 km/h as its max.

Therefore aircraft speeds hit a wall, engines got powerful enough to make up for the loss from non-swing wings. Add to that how the industry learned to use the entire aircraft body as a lifting surface instead of loading everything on the wings, any reason for swing wings has gone away.

Hence their early retirement.
