SoMe should be email based, and servers should just be relays. That way you could also create private SoMes for things that you'd do in Facebook group by simply setting up a relay on something cheap.

The boring business answer is that Europe has better laws regarding user privacy and many of our users have asked us to store their data in jurisdictions which are more respectful of that. But, also, after I moved to Europe for personal reasons, we don't have any permanent staff left in the United States and little connection to the US in general.

I'm an anesthesiologist and this is also also exactly how I do do.

I've seen colleagues "practicing", and I have to say I regard this as close to malpractice.

It's a procedure that is not entirely risk free either. There's a real of dissection.
UDP is little more than IP, so there isn't a technical reason why UDP couldn't be just as fast as TCP _per se_. But from when I was toying with writing a stream abstraction on top of UDP in Linux userspace, I came to the same conclusion, it's hard to achieve high throughput.

My guess is that this is in part because achieving high throughput on IP is hard and in part because it's never going to be super efficient at this level (in userspace, on top of kernel infrastructure that might not be as optimized towards throughput like it is in the case of TCP).
In the interest of balance this ncc-services-wg message by Max Tulyev appears to provide some background and seems to imply a possible power-play by Ukraine parliament/government people and for which no evidence of actual 'rogue' transfers are provided [0].

Although as people may have guns at their heads it would be difficult to know if a block transfer were under duress or not. It would seem possible to analyse transfers since 2014 affecting Crimea and the Donbas regions, and transfers since February 2022 affecting occupied territory.

> Not everyone is a fan of longtermism. I can’t think of a reason why. I mean, the last time a self-declared intellectual elite said it’s okay to sacrifice some million people for the greater good, only thing that happened was a world war, just a "small misstep for mankind."

Our culture, in general and implicitly, rejects the idea of objective truth in favor of hedonism.

If we're living for pleasures of the moment, then fretting about the unborn seems silly. Look at government borrowing: we're reducing future generations to penury because of whatever folly sounded good for the election.

Neither "Effective Altruism" or "Longtermism" seem more than fads, and for the same reason: without an internal renewal based upon some immutable, external truth, these movements shall not outlive their founders.
My favorite solution to the Fermi Paradox is that star-shaped gravity wells are difficult neighborhoods for anything that needs to exchange huge amounts of data. Think about it: electromagnetic data-beans degrade with distance, so one must use relays. Relays in a gravity well must keep moving in orbits. And, well, stars are noisy and hot. With sufficient technology, a civilization is more interested in reliable data-transmissions and compute, which can be generally easier to achieve in interstellar space (which also happens to have enough "cold" matter in the form of wandering planets and planetoids).

There can be a huge number of civilizations gravitating around a star, just as we do. But any bigger civilization, bigger than their mother star, may soon find the interstellar space more comfy and remain there, beaming directional messages (and consciousness units, a.k.a souls) between cold outposts in interstellar space.
Why not create, or donate to, a separate non-profit that focuses on improving access for poor people? Asking established entities to shift their focus to your favorite topic (or just making them, if you succeed to subvert them) feels like a sneaky way to bypass convincing people of your goals, and just redirecting funds that were meant to go elsewhere.
If you want to wait for W3C to approve a new codec, good luck with that.
Looking at https://www.w3.org/Graphics/, I see only PNG, JPEG, GIF and SVG mentioned. For adding WebP and AVIF to Chrome this was not an issue.

Regarding Mozilla: there is preliminary JXL support in Firefox, also behind a flag. So if Chrome would enable it, Firefox would likely follow quickly. But given their respective market shares, it is not surprising to me that Firefox does not have the audacity to push JXL when Chrome devs are clearly trying to block it.

As for Apple/Safari: there is JXL support in WebKit behind a compile flag, so if Chrome would enable, they could also follow quickly. It does not surprise me that Apple is not taking any public position on this — they rarely announce their plans before they are ready to ship.

In any case, if the list of supporters in that bugtracker is considered "insufficient", then I think Chrome devs have unreasonably high expectations. The issue is not that "the ecosystem" is not interested. The issue is that the Chrome decision makers don't want it to get traction, for whatever reasons they clearly don't really want to disclose but that can be guessed:

The key Chrome decision maker on codec related things seems to be this person: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimbankoski/
This is the same person that was also heavily involved in VP8/WebP and AV1/AVIF: https://research.google/people/105284/
To me this looks like a rather obvious conflict of interest.
Mars is smaller and cooled down before Earth. That means it had liquid water while the Earth was still too hot. Therefore, it's possible that life first appeared on Mars, and was later transferred to Earth on a meteorite.
Bolsonaro is a fake news machine. He had a “hateful department” lead by his son Carlos to produce and spread fake news. He lies about everything and poured billions of reais to try to win this election, not to mention the serial electoral crimes. Bolsonaro was the biggest Brazilian tragedy of this century, by far. Happy to see he out, and I hope to see him behind bars next year.
Question, if the glue is there for your purpose you guessed then why is Apple not covering water and liquid damage ? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204104

The glue must be there for other reasons and probably you should not swim with your phone.

I'm betting on #2. We only have our own planet to look at, but if we could somehow rank all of the species on the planet according to intelligence, just jumping a couple of levels up or down you enter a completely different world of existence. Or as I like to quip, somewhere in the middle of the ocean there's an island. On that island is an ant hill, and there's an ant at the top of it wondering: Where are all of the other ants?

I don't really find it disturbing, though. Our "best practice" to interact with other species is to try to leave them alone and watch them enjoy and live in their habitat. Makes sense that's what we're doing for the alien overlords, and I'm okay with that. Assuming aliens are around somewhere and we're using our own planet to reason by analogy, the only other two alternatives are they're going to subjugate/destroy us or they're going to eat us. Those alternatives are not so fun.

I find it interesting that so many humans assume that since we can chat with one another, aliens somehow are supposed to show up and chat with us. It's all about us. If such a thing happened, the history of massively-different cultures interacting on Earth is not a positive one.

Given the choices, I'm good.
Or do phone + simcard swapping and use a higher level system for communication. So the mobile network as a whole becomes a communication channel where the mobile number itself is irrelevant. It’s only used as a mean to get on the network.

Havent give this too much thought yet but it could work.
The paper explicitly addresses Infiniband.
That may be true, but most of them don't go to the extent of writing a book whose sole intention seems to be showing how cool they are ("Surely you're joking, Mr Feynman").

It's worth adding to this I've been developing software professionally for 27 years, so there being few Rails jobs meeting my expectations does not mean there aren't well paid Rails jobs.

But Rails does best in a chunk of what used to be the PHP market for quick and dirty websites. Once companies scale, only a relatively small portion of their dev work tends to be Rails related, and not the most interesting/best paid parts of their dev work.

The roles you can use Ruby in are wider and there is some juicier stuff there, but most of that isn't advertised as Ruby. E.g. in a lot of devops roles you may come across quite a bit of Ruby tooling.
Gotta say, when I read about how Bram Moolenaar, the author and maintainer of Vim, works sometimes to build schools in remote areas of Uganda and encourages users to donate to that cause—not once did I question how that is helpful or what he's doing with people's money.

In addition to what others have added: monthly magazines like Dr.Dobb's Journal, were eagerly anticipated, and this was _the_ way to keep my skills "modern". User Group meetings, and rare conferences which were vendor-driven, were others.

It was you and the black box. Manuals helped a bit. Books helped a bit. But largely it was you and the stupid box.
It depends what your motivation is.

Personally, I'm proud to work for the UK Civil Service. I get to see how the work I do helps keep people safe. I don't have to care about the "mission" - or agree with every decision made by every team in every department - but I can look at the positive impact my team is having on the world.

I've also worked for the NHS. Again, a big organisation with a lot of flaws. But being able to "nudge the oil tanker in the right direction" feels great.

I once worked for my local council. That allowed me to contribute to my local community.

For me, it's about making the world better rather than making someone else richer.
Of course not, but I think you know that.

I'm not a Sourcehut user (yet), but the more I hear and read about it, the more it seems like the creators and owner(s) care.

Glad to read this. The whole topic of cryptocurrencies and blockchain has become a good marker to identify companies that actually care about their users, technology, and the product they build.

Another good example here would be the (highly skilled) devs over at Valve [1]. Not just when it comes to cryptocurrencies, but many other things they do as well, like having the steam deck (mostly) open and Linux based, which would probably cause violent reactions from devs at most other companies. (Let's hope they never decide to become a publicly traded company...).

On the opposite end we have the corporations and devs who just chase after the next buzzword to run after investors and to appease her holiness, the stock market.

What I am trying to say is that a clear pattern has emerged when it comes to different companies and their approach to "blockchain technologies".

I'm curious what the 'artefacts' are going to sound like with schemes like this.

Using a generative-adversarial network as a compressor (with a 'perceptual' discriminator, how ever that works) probably means that all introduced artefacts will sound entirely plausible. I.e., it's possible that you didn't mishear the word, but that it was mis-compressed to a perceptually very similar word.
I was thinking that they should charge blue checkmark by the # of followers you have. the more followers you have, the more you have to pay. I wonder if it would incentivize people not to pay for fake followers as at least was a problem in the past.

Rovers are not the most effective tool for searching for fossils, especially microscopic fossils that can’t be seen from a distance on camera. They’re just the most effective tool we can send at the time we sent them. But a rover is only slightly more effective than just sending a dude with a buggy and a child’s beach kit.
That's a useful framework. Thank you for taking the time to share.
I don't know whether they needed to "find projects":

> the fact that the transfer coincided with Amanda Keton's move in the 2019–2020 financial year from General Counsel of the Tides Network and CEO of Tides Advocacy to General Counsel of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Sounds like someone got into power at Wikimedia and went ahead and moved a few millions to their project.

The idea that the internet was at some previous point a free-for-all has never been true. Even before the web was a thing SysAdmins would regularly block NNTP newgroups from being available on their servers.

It doesn't surprise me that a site that taunts people about reposting the Christchurch shooter's livestream should have trouble getting service. The fact I'm writing this from a throwaway shows the reality of the harrassment some people I know have suffered from this group.

Censorship is bad. But battles should be fought for people who need protection against it, not for people who try to exploit tolerant societies' carve-outs for free speech.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance is important:

> The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
where in the world you can sell whatever you want? As an example check cars, not only you have a, lot of safety stuff you need to implement, you also are forced to use the generic fuel,oils and are forced to let others repaird the cars. No DRM on lights,mirrors,windshields etc.

The word you are looking for is 'technosignature', which is observable phenomenon which can only reasonably be explained by the presence of a technological civilization.

For example, any starship moving between solar systems at a significant percent of the speed of light is going to leave a detectable wake in the interstellar medium. Whatever mechanism is used to propel the starship is also going to radiate heat, which will be easier to detect by orders of magnitude. There is absolutely no natural explanation for little black-body radiators zipping in straight lines between nearby stars at a significant percent of the speed of light.

The most obvious, and clear technosignature is the Dyson sphere. There are hundreds of billions of observable stars in our galaxy alone, and hundreds of billions of galaxies out there, every one of them full of bright stars. All those stars are pretty to look at, but it's the stellar equivalent of a giant oil well fire. All that negative entropy burning away, accomplishing absolutely nothing except for heating the universe by a few pico-Kelvin. It's a goddamn cosmic waste, pissing away the energy reserves necessary to support uncountable numbers of sentient being every second of every day that goes by.

We could capture that light with a Dyson sphere, with technology that we could make in the next 1000 years, conservatively, and quite possibly sooner. In doing so we'd capture the full output of the Sun, getting enough free energy to support hundreds of trillions of human beings throughout the solar system. We could then move through the stellar night, turning every neighboring star system into an abundant garden supporting quintillions of human beings. We could do this even assuming no new technology beyond the things we know how to build right now in the early 21st century.

There's nothing special about us, and a 1,000 years is a cosmic blink in the eye. So if we have this capability since achieving spaceflight, then so would anyone else out there. So where are they? Where are the great swaths of star systems turned infrared by Dyson black body radiation?
ok, then maybe we need http://radiomesh.org after all?

My point is if everyone hosts all their production from home they can't control it, you cannot DDoS all IPs at the same time.
The article brings up how the auto industry has the right to repair. the auto industry has become increasingly hostile towards self repair.

Encrypting a Wireless tire pressure monitor gauge that locks out your security system if not detected forcing you to bring it to a shop for repair so they can electronically code the 20$ part is outright hostile maintenance practice to the consumer. Tesla is one of the worst cars for hobbyist with how the owner is practically locked out of repairing anything. I think there is alot to be learned from Tesla And John Deere hobbyists in what lessons they learned and tools they actually needes that can be applied to repairing electronic devices.
I find Solarized, zenburn, and other low contrast dark themes too hard to read in bright environments. And I try to always work in a decently bright environment.

Which leads me to the following question: has anybody migrated from dark themes to light themes after years of use? I've always had my terminal and my editor dark, but my browser light. I have a hard time reading long text like prose or forums in dark mode. So that makes me wonder if my code and terminal could also be better in light themes and I just have to struggle to get rid of my dark theme habit.
Well, suns and sgi’s. 3D graphics with OpenGL. Supercomputers yielding to mini-supers for a brief time before the hp pa-risc came and killed them all. Superscalar machines and programming - daxpy’s and vector masks. Lots of multiprocessor development. Still a lot of disk striping as both memory and disk space wasn’t “unlimited”. Rs6000’s pushing cad/cam onto workstations. Being able to do fluid dynamics calculations led to soap bar cars.

Lots of good Unix work came from that time which fell into place when Linux appeared. Things ported from there to Linux pretty painlessly which greatly reduced the cost of hardware. And that World Wide Web thingy that started to appear was pretty neat even at 19200.
Very good to have a smaller runtime. Some of the stated benefits of the new generator are silly and the comparison with ts-proto doesn't point out the actual improvement (generating d.ts files means your CI doesn't spend time type-checking and compiling ts sources), but nice to see this new alternative.
We do not kick people out for political differences.
I want a shmoll 64bits risc-v (+ a USB block + timer and certainly a few other blocks) board with only tons of GPIOs and 1 USB-C connector. The arm world is able to provide those, but the risc-v galaxy always adds bluetooth/wifi/AI/etc.

Goal: USB keyboard firmware directly in 64bits risc-v assembly.

(I have such boards, but with 32bits risc-v cores and I am unable to self-motivate myself to go 32bits assembly, even knowing there are provisions for 32bits<->64bits ports in risc-v).

I guess, I'll have to go for those overkill boards.
We need an anti-tethering law. After purchase of the device, there should be no tethering by the manufacturer. Otherwise you bought a service and not a product.

Any service you decide to run on the device, should be possible (without explicit approval of the manufacturer) to be provided by any company. The current situation is like you bought a TV and you can only watch the TV-network of the manufacturer.

Needless to say, within this law it should be allowed for any company to perform repairs too, or provide hardware extensions, etc.

> It completely ignores that the "port number" abstraction for service identification has completely failed due to the industry glomming onto HTTP as some sort of universal tunnel encapsulation for all application-layer protocols. And then there's all the non-backend problems!

The paper argues the in '3.1 Stream orientation' section, that stream orientation is a problem for TCP, and says that most apps send messages instead, and the better protocol should handle messages, natively, etc. Which is a good point I think.

But back to TCP. What do you do, if you need to send Messages between applications in TCP? Preferably those Messages would be encrypted also.

You could make up your own protocol, but you probably would rather not! So you use something that is readily available, and does messages, encryption, etc. Would be nice if there were also a ready to use load balancers, caches, tools to debug it, etc

Now, what would be such a protocol.

Why HTTPS, of course.

So I kind of think that the lack of a low level Message Protocol has lead us, as an industry, to coalesce these features bit-by-bit on top of HTTP. It's not perfect by any means, but it does the job.
