No, I am arguing that memory is (roughly speaking) an internal, private resource unlike most other things (files/sockets/pipes/processes/etc), and it's intended: other resources has state outside of the process which is used to communicate with other processes, or with specific hardware (e.g. GPU) or other machines. When you close() a file/socket, it's visible outside of the process, the other side receives inotify()/epoll() message, when a (child) process exits, its status and exit code change and SIGCHLD get sent, etc. Also, anonymity: if you need a socket connected to remote example.com:443, you want it to connected to example.com:443, not to something else; when you open a file/pipe, you want it to be able to communicate with someone else (in case of file, maybe with someone else from the past/future) — note how deeply this notion of sharing is built-in into file API by considering how difficult it was to design secure API for temp files which are files one doesn't want to share with anyone. But when you free() a block of memory... nothing outside of the process gets notified, really.

And that's why automated memory management (garbage collection) is a success story while attempts to blindly apply it to other resources failed: memory is different. Freeing other resources sends a very clear message to the external environment, including other processes, which is used for IPC while freeing memory doesn't.

Yes, in the end, memory in process is implemented by (shared) physical memory but modern OSes go to ridiculous length to support the illusion that it's unlimited and private. Yes, there is shared memory mappings which I explicitly leave outside the argument: those are externally visible, nameable, and hard to manage with GC.

I doubt anyone had a laser printer at home until Apple's LaserWriter first sold in 1985 (for $6995!), but laser printing was first developed between 1968 and 1972 at Xerox Parc, with IBM selling the first commercial laser printers in 1976.[1]

Very good question. I'm very certain that this is where they would all be banned and it would become a very political case rather than a business decision, even if all of them accounted for 80% of Sourcehut's revenue; especially when your examples are not illegal in the US; this could be different when they move to another country.

> When protective phone cases are ubiquitous (80-90% of all phones from a quick search), it shows that the trend for thinner and thinner phones isn't being driven by a desire for thinner phones.

I’m not sure that your conclusion follows from the observation. Sample size of one but I personally am quite happy for phones to be thinner precisely because I put a protective case on mine. A new iPhone with a case can be less than or as thick as the original iPhone was without a case.
> Will there be further clarification regarding what is the precise definition?

It's intentionally subjective. A tounge-in-cheek analysis could conclude that git is a blockchain, but no one suggests this seriously. The terms establish a worldview and framework around the problems cryptocurrency and blockchain projects impose on society, and it's within this framework that projects will be evaluated -- not simply on the basis that the word "blockchain" appears in their README.

> If there will be some HW accelerator thingie or something for blockchain technologies or cryptocurrency, and the driver for that gets merged into upstream linux kernel, will that make linux kernel un-hostable on sourcehut? If not, why not?

That would likely be permitted on the basis of a subjective analysis of the situation. Linux is a project which is mostly used for use-cases other than cryptocurrency. After all, many blockchain tools already run on a Linux userspace, but that's no cause for dropping Linux.

The rules are not written in stone: they are guidelines that we enforce hand-in-hand with the cooperation of the community and within a space where all participants are encouraged to discuss the situation and argue for their views.

Apple is continuing to invest and do well in their core business though. GE had a policy during Jack's tenure that if GE were not number 1 or 2 in a business segment, they'd get out it. This caused GE to shed many of their traditional capabilities.
I don't think so. It seems at this point that humans can understand most of the fundamental laws governing our universe, and perhaps to harness them to eventually have star system-level impact.

I'm not sure how much smarter are you really going to be. Especially given the social nature of humans which makes us able to compensate for each other's shortcomings.
I know. Good luck implementing it performantly while also considering filtering, pagination, etc. It's doable of course, just not nearly as easy as people like to make it sound.
The problem I see with JSON is its limited set of “native” types. I really wish it had specified support for proper numeric types (int, uint, various widths) and not just doubles. A timestamp type would be great as well.

What I really like about Protocol Buffers is that you must write a schema to get started. No more JSON.stringify anything. Everything else sucks though.
The reality of today's large datacenters is that almost all of them have almost all of their traffic on TCP unless the owners of the datacenter have made a conscious effort to not use TCP. The highest-traffic applications, usually databases and storage systems, pretty much all use TCP unless you are buying a purpose-built HPC scale-out storage system (like a Lustre cluster). Most people who build a datacenter today use databases or object stores for storage, not Lustre or dedicated fiber channel SANs. On top of that, pub/sub systems all use TCP today, logging tends to be TCP, etc.
I'm talking about their hangup over the term.

The idea was to have two different screens displaying different information and there would be interactions between the two. Like the Nintendo DS's two screens. I played a tech demo(?) at the store where you'd aim a bow and arrow with the Gamepad at a target that was on the TV.

> It’s not at all clear if effective freedom of speech is attainable at scale.

It runs into basically the same problem as torrenting: How do you punish people who try to leech? It more or less requires the majority of participants to apply the same policy consistently so that defectors are punished for their defection.

Ultimately, the solution is more or less the same as it was for FidoNet: Defederate and form your own network with stringent requirements so that jackasses that want to ignore the rules when it suits them will be shown the door. Networks then grow to encompass precisely the number of people who can be trusted to keep to the policy and no further. Thus, you wind up with a patchwork of disconnected networks. I for one am fine with this sort of future since it worked just fine before. The only people who'd really not like it are those who prefer centralization in order to easily engage in influence operations... and of course their opinions don't count.
Interesting. My instant groceries work just fine and the company I use reports massive profits.

A platform like sourcehut is designed to be self hosted and to allow you to migrate off platform, so I feel significantly better about this than if say GitHub banned all crypto projects.

Corporate megaliths have left everyone wary of platforms banning an entire topic or idea. Between shitty automation, unreachable support, and large blast radii, corporate megaliths are generally untrustworthy with moderation.

The fact is that sourcehut is not a corporate megalith. I don’t believe these concerns apply.

Brain computer interfaces could be 1000 times faster than skin/eye/ear to brain but the speed of the brain is going to stay the same, right? No accelerated time, at least not much of it. Example: if you accelerate audio 1000 times you won't be able to understand it. Two times? OK, with some training. 1000 times faster video? It's a blur. 10 times? Maybe. Your reaction times to give inputs? The usual tens or hundreds of seconds.
afaik Alex Jones came to the conclusion that Sandy Hook was a psy-op (then I think he changed his mind later); anyone who was not directly involved is simply interpreting video footage.

You most certainly are kicking people out for political choices. You gobbled up all the FUD and posted it on your ToS:

> These projects often encourage large-scale energy waste and electronics waste, which contributes to the declining health of Earth’s environment.

I honestly mean no offence but you are most definitely making choices for your users from a place that demonstrates lack of understanding.

Fiat currencies are the #1 tool criminals and corporations have used for ages to ruin the world and I don't see SourceHut banning projects using those (that would be ridiculous) but instead choose to ban a set of technologies that a minute percentage of the population uses like that's going to make any meaningful change.

Drew, fiat currencies are debased at the rate the old man chooses making everyone poorer and less well off every single day through inflation and that is what you choose to perpetuate.

The people will continue to innovate with or without Source Hut.
I thought the same thing, it was a naive comment indeed.

Before I made the career switch to pure GNU/Linux, back in my MSP startup days, I made good money ripping out horribly run ADs leftover from the great sysadmin layoffs of the late 2000s. Samba 4 came later and was a godsend. AD and MS in general has stockholm syndromed many people.

Really and truly the problem is executives not seeing the value in hiring for their actual IT problem space. Too many companies, especially ones that are more physical and have people who like to proudly claim computer ignorance, refuse to admit that with advances in technology that IT is an integral and vital part of the business.

Instead they don't even hire for positions they really need, or if they do, they hire for peanuts and get subpar gui-ninjas... and that's how you end up with a bunch of AD servers on the internet.
I suppose the point might be that if the speculation is that the phone is being “glued shut” to inhibit repairs, there are other glues and epoxies that would be far more effective at the task than the ones chosen for the waterproofing seal or battery mounting.
A feature that never ships has value for 0% of users.

Actually realizing that speed up for your users will take time away from delivering features.

Engineering is a trade off, always will be.
iPhone batteries have underneath them strips of adhesive that can be peeled up using a screwdriver rolling in a motion like you would twirl spaghetti on a fork. This isn't glue.

Certain older MacBook batteries were glued down. But now, even on newer MacBooks, the batteries are held in by similar removable adhesive strips. All of this is a step in the right direction.

Believe me, Apple has done a lot of things to make third-party and independent repair more difficult. I'm not super thrilled with them. But saying Apple is gluing batteries or screens down when they're not is where I feel it's important to step in as a repair shop owner and explain what is actually going on.
That’s maybe a misunderstanding. I’m not advocating war per se. Yet I think it was right that the US didn’t stay on the sidelines.
We are excellent at driving. It's shocking that there aren't more accidents.
You can assume for the time being that this project is permitted on SourceHut. Once it materializes further and its relationship to the social problems of cryptocurrency becomes more clear, we can evaluate it properly. It seems that you at least have a pretty good background on the problems with cryptocurrency, so I'm optimistic about this project. Good luck!

There's a good book (albeit, a bit repetitive as you read it) about the fall of of GE. If I remember correctly the book basically confirms what you said about Immelt inheriting a lot of problems that were hidden behind accounting complexity at GE.

I see the opposite. Apple has no choice but to tackle some aspects of finance because existing banking is so predatory.

So far each component they’ve taken on has set new expectations unseen in consumer banking.

Notably privacy of purchase history and shared credit history between couples who share a credit card.
Yes.

At my $work, most of our code is in Perl, roughly a half-million lines of it dating back to the mid-1990s.

There's no point in rewriting it in something else, since the cost in resources to do that would outweigh the potential salary savings by hiring cheaper programmers who know Python or C# or whatever. (My experience with some other companies is that they want to move away from Perl because Perl programmers are more expensive, not because it's a worse language.)

Likewise, there's no point in starting new projects in another language since we'd then have to hire people people competent in both of those languages.

My experience is that people who turn their nose up at "old" tech like Perl are not worth hiring. If they don't care to learn about the technology you are using, then they won't care to learn about your industry or your company's business logic.
The TCP over TCP performance problem can be summarized as follows:

Because the underlay TCP is lossless (being TCP), every time the overlay TCP has to retransmit, it adds to the queue of things that the underlay TCP has to retransmit (and the need to retransmit happens more or less at the same time).

So instead of linear increase in the number of packets, you get ~quadratic.

This balloons the required throughput needed to “rectify” the issue from the protocol standpoint at both levels - usually precisely at the point when there’s not enough capacity in the first place (the packet loss is supposed to signal congestion).

If you are very lucky, the link recovers fast enough that this ballooning is small enough to be absorbed by the newly available capacity.

If the outage is long enough, the rate of build-up of retransmits exceeds the capacity of the network to send them out - so it never recovers.

Needless to say, the issue is worse with large window in overlay TCP session - e.g. a sudden connectivity blip in the middle of the file transfer.

Cause being BIPOC while in journalism isn't a political ideology and their existence is not "woke" nor "political". On top of that I happen to believe a wider range of voices within journalism is incredibly important and see nothing controversial there.

That seems way better to me than giving money to those hostile towards damn near every marginalized and underrepresented minority. Does it not seem that way to you?

It's not my fault (nor is it Wikimedia's) that this specific historically marginalized and oppressed group of people as a collective leans a certain... less confederate-flag-waving way.

Were they supposed to find a hypothetical centrist group of BIPOC journalists that will therefore then over-represent right-wing BIPOC population?
They detected many photons, but I read this as meaning that they had focused their attention on one specific photon that was detected by their instruments:
