Absolutely.

I've started managing my user services using systemd --user and portable services and it's just amazing how well the individual components work together to create fully isolated, containerized, per-user services.

I'm lovin' it and I'm not missing the hot mess of the dozens of shell scripts that I needed before.
I have been waiting for Mozilla to finish this, -include mobile-, for a long time. Getting more invested in Chrome by the day.
A lot of time is lost to Twitter. I don't think it ends up being like the social norms of your small group of friends that go to the pub. How big is that group? How do you converse? From personal experience it's vastly different.
If the quality of content for mastadon is on par with Twitter than farting (tooting) out content makes sense too.
There are not enough separation of Church vs State in the US - not like in most other countries it is compared to. Religion has a lot of power still. But yes it should be absolute separation.
From my experience this was never much more than a very vocal minority.
This is quite alarming when you look at some of the topics that were flagged as “misinformation”.

For example in Norway the vaccine recommendations are quite different than the US in terms of children and covid.

https://www.regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/vaccination-of-childre...

It’s fine to agree or disagree but content like this was routinely flagged as “misleading”.

Nothing misleading … other developed democratic nations have different viewpoints and different recommendations.

The withdrawal of Afghanistan was a disaster. DHS recommendation of flagging of material related to the withdrawal again is not healthy for a democracy.

Who watches the watchers? Who determines what content and topics need to flagged and removed?

Just my two cents (having worked in government for over a decade) way too much trust is given to this type of government activity.
For prompt engineering, OpenArt published a Stable Diffusion Prompt Book[1] analogous to the one for DALL-E 2.

In contrast to fossil fuels, Europe can ramp up electricity generation fairly easily as there is plenty of untapped potential left. That would reduce prices though renewables are already cheaper than fossil fuels. But even if renewables are not cheaper than oil and gas, the gained sovereignty is worth it alone. That much the war in Ukraine has shown very clearly.
About removing support for what they call split-usr and unmerged-usr: Why does a init system and daemon manager even need suppport for a certain directory layout, shouldn't it be agnostic? Having a separate usr-space saved my bacon in the past a couple of times.

The thing I dislike most about Systemd is that it leads to homogenisation, where to me, running Linux is about choice.
Isn't the 4 exactly that?

I think it's fair to say that Japan is the country in the world with the most reliable trains
Better headline would be "ARM to force adoption of RISC-V"
Taxonomies are a crutch that simplify a complex problem - usually too much to be useful.

Multidimensional latent spaces based on content and other characteristics of the object is the real solution here.
"There were number rounding issues in the original numbers for the 1k component case - Turbopack's 15ms was rounded down to 0.01s while Vite's 87ms was rounded up to 0.09s. This further got marketed as a 10x advantage when the original numbers were close to 6x."
> the total license fees for a company like Google/Apple could outstrip the straight acquisition cost.

Why would the existing owners sell the company for less than a fraction of it's revenue?
if you don't look at SMTP alone, but at the whole suite of protocols and best practices, email spam has been a solved problem for over a decade

compared to my gmail, protonmail and other email clients/services, the signal-to-spam ratio on Twitter is less than 10% even for me — a nobody with <1k followers
If ARM starts licensing according to the client's wallet size we'll all be witness to the wisdom of Apple designing their own ARM cores from scratch.

Apart from the fact that Apple's a founding member of ARM and probably doesn't pay a dime and has the freedom to do with the ARM ISA as they see fit.
Let's step back a bit and not ask about the mechanics. Twitter was, and, so far as I'm concerned, the nervous system of the Internet. It's main strength is saying "Hey, you were interested in this -- go to this URL". It's a pubsub system.
There are many places, many industries that don't care about the latest celeb or Elon, but they do want a signaling system -- and they want it secure and encrypted. As an example, the oil and gas industry has to communicate with about 200,000 stations. The messages are simple -- why not a private Twitter for them? Sure, they could use NATS or Kafka on a private net, but why not this?
Jets are getting more energy efficient and cheaper to operate. We are just optimizing for things other than speed.
You should read a book called "designing data intensive applications" to fully grasp what you are suggesting.

But the answer is that what you are suggesting is not simple, cheap, or easy. Quite the opposite.

The book also uses Twitter's architecture for many of its examples, and you'll quickly see that something like even just building a user feed for millions of people is rather complex.
Yea, it's 'are more nutritious' not 'why' sure, it has more vitamin D and good fats and protein. Why? Genetics? Diet? Having gills and a swim bladder?
TCO is a runtime feature that enables code authors to write functions that call out to other functions in such a way that the stack size is not increased. If you’ve ever crossed the `RangeError: Maximum Call Stack Size Exceeded` error, it’s possible that the executed code could’ve benefitted from TCO. TCO is especially invaluable for writing recursive functions (without it, recursion is almost always a bad idea, IMHO).

TCO is technically in the ECMAScript specification (since 2015) but hasn’t been implemented across browsers or runtimes (with a few exceptions).

Dr. Axel has written a good explainer of TCO in the context of Javascript here https://2ality.com/2015/06/tail-call-optimization.html
Degrading? Hah! man.. I've prioritized this problem over everything else in my life to the point where it has almost killed me and it has robbed me of everything.. when you are living on the street with 0 money in your pocket and you need to take a shit and the bathroom costs a coin to enter then what do you do? Cause I guess the difference between us and dogs is that you can poo straight into the plastic bag, no need for the intermediate step... Now if I would accept a job creating problems for regular people I'd have north of 100k for sitting in my chair and occasionally pressing a few buttons on my keyboard. But my refusal is absolute, the problem I am working on is important and if no one is willing to pay me for it then that is not my problem (yes it is but it is even more everyones elses problem than it is mine).
"... Initial speculation pointed to John Carmack as the probable author of the code, but the original authors were much earlier in 3D computer graphics. Rys Sommefeldt concluded that the original algorithm was devised by Greg Walsh at Ardent Computer in consultation with Cleve Moler, the creator of MATLAB. Cleve Moler learned about this technique from code written by William Kahan and K.C. Ng at Berkeley around 1986." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root
Japan also has a declining population, extremely low immigration, and minimal foreign housing purchases.

These are the opposite factors of what urban US is facing.

Even Tokyo metro area population has been in decline and is forecast to decline, as NYCs continues growing.

Tokyo housing-space-per-resident being higher is probably also an artifact of lower household formation / childrearing than western cities.

That said Tokyo has different zoning which allows for smaller apartment units than NYC/SF/etc and should be applauded for that.
The housing space metrics seem very far off from my experience, looking at numbers it seems "Tokyo" means "Tokyo Metropolis", which includes the countryside, mountains, etc. So it's not really comparing the city. If we look at the numbers for Tokyo 23 wards[1] (what would traditionally be called "the city"), we can see they are virtually half than those from Paris or London:

16.5-19.7sqm/person is the range that falls in the median (50%) for Tokyo 23 wards[1]. Only 30% of houses have the minimum recommended of 25sqm/person (so, 70% live UNDER in under 25sqm/person). If the other cities in the graph are correct, that makes Tokyo median size around half of the average of those other cities[2].

So yes, definitely Tokyo housing is tiny. I know it since I live here and talk with people; when I invite someone who is not in tech to my place they all comment on how big my 37 sqm "house" (studio/single room) is, to which I can only agree and laugh/cry inside. I'm happy because I am well for living in Tokyo, but it's still a tiny place compared to my hometown where everyone lives like kings.

[1] https://resources.realestate.co.jp/living/how-much-living-sp...

[2] I believe I'm using median/average correctly here, but happy for corrections! I check "at what sizes it's 50% of the # of households" and then took that measure. Sorry for mixing medians and averages, but I cannot calculate averages with the numbers I found.
The main problem that OP is experiencing is that the services that they need to access only support SMS 2FA. Talking about a different unsupported scheme doesn't seem relevant.
Well, speed is distance/time. For the "speed" analogy to make sense when talking about performance, we have to translate "distance" to something more abstract, let's call it "work". That means we have speed = work/time. If you have 1 unit of work (say you think of "build the whole app" as one atomic operation) which used to take 20 seconds, and now it takes 2 seconds, you went from a speed of 1/20=0.05 to a speed of 1/2=0.5, which is a 10x increase.

Hence, "it's 10x faster" is a valid way to write "it does the same work in 1/10 the time".
That's an inaccurate and quite uncharitable representation of what musl is about.
I think that is an overstatement. I use systemd but there is legitimate criticism and even a questionable conflict of interest in the creator now working for the competition. People working against the best interest of the community is a real threat that shouldn't simply be ignored. However, so far systemd has worked out alright for me so I can't complain too much but the documentation is still lacking in certain areas and so doing things that are easy to understand with a traditional script based RC can become frustrating when you are trying to figure out the systemd-way to do things.
A couple years ago, absolutely. To decide whether to generally hate systemd, and with what intensity, you should follow a curve that decreases proportionally with how long ago the change was made, and that starts as high as the multiplication of how much churn it causes times how old the thing it replaced was, all of which is of course multiplied again against the buggyness curve

When pipewire replaced pulse, despite pulse being well established and a core desktop component, there was very little churn and few bugs. People not impacted did not mind at all that a major component was changed, or that it did many things and bundled three completely different protocols into one, arguably not very reminiscent of Unix Philosophy™

I would confidently predict that a change as large as systemd, to a component as old, and that causes as much churn (rewriting, relearning) would follow a roughly similar hate curve, only distinguishing itself by whether it was more buggy or less buggy than the predecessor.

It's churn people hate, not change. The lesson I learned is that you can make large changes to the system, it's only hated when it forces humans changes.
You can put binary files on git as well… if the developer is clueless there is no fix.

It would be good to flag bad packages but it's impossible.
even in Shinjuku there are cheap houses if you look. My friend rents an old house with renovated interior in Shimoochiai for what I thought was surprisingly cheap
RSS

People put out RSS feeds. People subscribe to RSS feeds.

No server side agorithm and api just returns feeds sorted by users preference.

If I follow too many people to view chronological, then I can have client side algorithms to sort.

Aggregate queries across all the feeds on the server identify hashtag trends and create useful metrics (retweets, likes, etc).
The technology to a huge extent doesn't matter, except for things like decentralization because those impact how end users use it.

Honestly, I'd probably just build Mastodon. I use it sporadically. My feed is exactly what I subscribed to, and nothing more. That of course doesn't make for an amazingly engaging platform that constantly pushes people to engage and to create new accounts, but that's precisely how I like things to be.

You probably won't get rich from catering to people like myself, though.
A thing I truly liked about Google+ was the ability to separate contacts into "circles" to differentiate between real-life friends, family, online friends, colleagues, etc. I wish more social networks used that kind of approach.

> They've exaggerated their economic growth for years, again because it's an autocracy and nobody dares to present anything less than the best economic growth figures. I saw an estimate recently that the Chinese economy is probably 60% smaller than they claim, and the same is true for many dictatorships.

Source? This just sounds like more of the propaganda you're spreading in this thread, accompanied by no factual evidence. And why should we trust your "estimate" over what a government representing a bilion people says?

If you are referring to local officials falsifying data[0] then the government wasn't behind it and actually punished it.

Then we have comparisons with the "night lights" data that show that recent economic data from China actually makes sense[1]:

"However, while the level of Chinese GDP may remain overstated, both the Li index and estimates from the night-lights data suggest that the recent growth rate numbers for Chinese official data are more reliable."

Also, it's gonna be hard to fake an entire high speed railway, am I right?

> again because it's an autocracy and nobody dares to present anything less than the best economic growth figures

This is just knee-jerk ignorance coupled with western presumption of superiority. Go study how the political system works in China, you'll find out people have much more agency over many things than we have in the West.

This is a case for regulation* and for promoting competition and diversity in the marketplace. It's not a case for treating them as governments. If they're governments, who chooses their leadership? Do they have one board, selected by the US president/according to the rules of the US Congress, that is applicable in the US, and another board, selected by the Canadian PM/according to the rules of Canadian law, that is applicable in Canada? How much are we going to pay to their shareholders for confiscating their property?

* Banning moderation is a form of regulation. It falls far short of treating them as governments. It is possible to say "I want to regulate Twitter" without having to make weird statements like "We should treat Twitter as a government".
interesting, so basically since 2010 no all-to-significant progress has really been made despite the scaling in logical processor count.

This is considering the vast majority of software basically still uses only a single core
>OpenBSD devs did the work

It doesn't appear they did anything specific for this kit, nothing obvious in the changelog anyway. Perhaps just some combination of things they've done for other UEFI bootable Arm64 hardware. OpenBSD arm64 uses u-boot, so also maybe just some support that was already there.

War is good. Nobody cares about environment in a war. Nobody gave a damn about the environmental destruction in Vietnam or Irak.
Not sure I agree that big tech is government, but now that the government is an agent of big tech with the use of controlling free speech via their portal (could also argue that big tech is an agent of government), it seems to open the door for a constitutional argument that these tech companies are now under the umbrella of the first amendment.
Of course it's better to judge people for their actions, but that doesn't mean you can't know people's intentions. Sometimes they're really incredibly clear about their intentions. Intentions and actions aren't separate things.
Not code but I always marvel at the relational databases of creaky Enterprise behemoths - SharePoint, SAP, etc...

Everyone is fed up with Qualcomm at that point.
That sounds like Russia denying they were about to invade Ukraine until they did.
Boomin, and OnTheMarket seemed to have sprung up from estate agents being not happy with the status quo, and wanted to build their own platform. A few former Zoopla colleagues had joined Boomin, around the time when Zoopla was acquired by Silverlake.

The article seems like less a critique and more of an informational report of this person's experience.
We're working on a p2p protocol which aims to be a long term solution to this and, more generally, a social web, which has:

1. 100% portable accounts (you can unilaterally move host, and you keep your social graph, and all links to your content continue to work)

2. You only see things from people you follow (the poster can also choose their audience)

3. Everything is end-to-end-encrypted (no server admin can read anything)

You can also write your own apps that leverage the private social storage: https://peergos.org/posts/a-better-web

Can you recognize a good construction worker if you are only an amateur? Can you say someone is beautiful even if you are not? Can you say someone is a good runner even if you are not?

This is a common complaint against someone's judgement, but yes, I am pretty convinced you can evaluate qualities even though you might not posess them yourself.

Sure, experience helps increase the quality and finesse of your judgement (eg. non-coder can't evaluate some things even if they can notice if the software is fast and non-buggy and pretty and...).
Except that housing an hour out of NYC seems to be more expensive than the housing the article talks about.
Looking at some of the skeuomorphic designs, I can't help but feel that this design style went out of vogue way too soon.

It looks so...juicy.
It always said chromium, but I find that people actually mean "chrome but open source" when they say "chromium", when that's not really the case at all.
Excuse my ignorance but aren't app packages compiled ahead of time on Android anyway?
> But let’s add the advantages of this logging: systemd can log events from the very start of the boot process, which was not possible before.

From what I've seen using Alpine Linux for a few weeks on my Raspberry Pi, logs are written to /var/log/messages after the init process starts and launches the logging service. All logs before the init starts can be retrieved using dmesg? I'm not sure about this though, let me know if I'm wrong.

One of the things I haven't figured out yet is if traditional logging systems can easily do advanced log filtering like showing only logs from the current boot (like -b in systemd), previous boots (-b -1), and showing logs after a specific date and time (--since).
Not really, many websites still feel painfully slow. If I were a dictator I would force all front-end developers and UI/UX designers to use actual Raspberry Pi units as their main workstations so they would intuitively avoid making code/designs so heavy :-)
I can’t write “great” code but I can probably recognize bad code
Build a protocol specification instead, and we can have multiple competing implementations (like Email). This is what Jack Dorsey was suggesting.
I have the same issue in Canada. The bank I was using dropped support for email 2FA and only supports SMS now. I look at the alternatives and they all only support SMS or a custom app. There are a few that don't support 2FA at all which I assume just means that they are slow and will push me into SMS 2FA in a few years.

I would love to switch to a bank that supported TOTP.
>Whilst I enjoy this kind of tinkering, it was disappointing that a "Dev Kit", built for developers can neither boot Linux, nor enable a custom Linux Kernel for WSL2.

What's that I hear Hacker News and Reddit cry? "It's a Dev Kit for Windows, you moron!" That may be the case, but Microsoft "Loves Linux", and clearly has worked hard to make WSL2 available out of the box on these devices.

It’s not a scathing attack or anything, but it is in fact critical of Microsoft.
That doesn't make Facebook like a government though. If twenty years ago the government chose to advertise a job in the three largest newspapers in a city, and not in the Dah00n Times, that doesn't make the newspapers like a government or incorporate them into the government. It might mean that people should question whether the government is too closely tied to certain private corporations. But that's a different question.
Fair point, however exceptions have their roots on continuations.
This kind of comment pops up every time and to be honest, seems like propaganda.

It completely omits the fact that companies extract fossil fuels, factories run and ships ship to supply consumer demand.

The fast fashion industry is a fairly large emitter, all because people want new outfits every week. Same goes for animal agriculture.

So yeah, it is absolutely personal lifestyle choices driving emissions
House size must also play a factor. I did a quick search and it appears to play a major factor and house sizes have gone up massively. Takes longer, more material, more people to build those McMansions with all the crazy gables.

Prefab houses can go up pretty quickly but they don't seem that popular. If they were more popular then maybe they'd gain a scale that would make them a much cheaper option.
okay gotcha!
