How much developer time do you need to invest to create software that someone will be willing to buy for $80/month? What are the chances that nobody will buy it for whatever reason (wrong idea, bad marketing, bad quality, bad design, better competing product beat you to market, ...) ?
Twitter makes -200m a year hosting their solution.

Mastodon by contrast spreads out this load to servers paid for by users, not by ads.

If you cannot join any servers, pay for a managed hosting provider to spin one up, or host yourself on a vps or a home server.
I wonder if this might improve over a more modern transport, if you were using an IPSec VPN.

Wireguard is enabling us to re-think what's possible over a VPN. Here's an example of what I mean. The network stack is based on Wireguard, with https://github.com/tonarino/innernet providing the topology and identity provisioning.

I thought this was going to be a blogpost for native support or a fancy workaround. Instead it's similar to Algolia's solution which is just sending all of your data to their servers as well as Google's.
Live and learn? It astonishes me that people would get so worked up about the possibility that somebody somewhere is posting and you might not see it. Guess what? They're already posting today and you're not seeing their posts.
There are plenty of other data points that line up with this one though.
You can escape identifiers in JS, too. But what you can't do is escape just _any_ source character like the way it's defined in Java and used in the example. Writing `foo = \u0022bar\u0022`, for example, is invalid.
Safety. Kernel level targeting rather than process.
The classic mapping is Alt/Meta to send escape when tapped, because terminals send Alt-q as `ESC q`.

I have no strong opinions about how people lay out their keyboards, other than that people should try a split key if they haven't. My layout sends ESC when Alt is tapped, capslock is for backspace.
I am taking oral minoxidil at the dangerous upper limit I barely tolerate (12mg). At the start I once almost drowned in wild waters from the unexpected fast heartbeat and low energy.

Finasteride gave me severe depression. Also, I microneedle. My min + microneedle regime is extremely effective.
Just quickly and quietly paying is likely cheaper than the international incident, the "China refuses to comply with treaty" headlines, and likely resulting souring of international relations.
There is always OpenDarwin/PureDarwin?

It‘s incredibly sad that companies worth literal trillions of dollars don‘t have a couple thousand dollars to spare for open source developers who create insanely valuable software for their employees. I remember that brew‘s (the defacto standard macos package management tool) maintainer had similar projects in the past.

Bad tools grind operations to a halt and feel incredibly dissatisfying to work with. Mold is insanely fast and pushing further in a problem space (linking) that can‘t be avoided and has in the past been dominated by slow tooling. Corporations save real dollars when their developer uses free software by open source maintainers, but due to their greed and their top heavy management which lacks insight on what speeds up development they give nothing back.

One solution I would propose is that industry giants form a general OSS funding collective, which selects interesting / helpful oss projects and grants funding to their developers.
Is there any reason not to use 64bit arithmetic anyway?
I haven't figured out this part. I joined the default server years ago. All of the other servers want a unique account, as I cannot login using my existing account.

How do I "participate across the fediverse" without creating one account per server? Is there a part of the UI I just haven't stumbled on yet?
Generally they seem to have lists of blocked servers (often with the full domain censored with ****) on the about page. I don't know if the list is generated or manually updated.
Say I am at the last line of a part of a function, that I would like to delete - maybe some debug output. In VIM, I will look at the relative line numbers and immediately see that I would like to delete up to the number 8. Then I simply write d8<up> or d8h, and I am done.

As far as I can tell - I may be wrong - in Helix, I would have to first do 8<up> and then 9xd. Note the number 9 in there. This is due to the fact that in Helix, I have to count the number of lines I want to delete, rather than just being able to look at the relative line numbers.
Most users don't care how distributed it is, or what it's architecture looks like.

They just want to sign up, and get an out-of-the box experience more or less like twitter.
Yeah, they should bring in a REAL security expert, like Rudy Giuliani
Getting ripped really helps Bezos pull off that look. No hair on your head, none on your face, and a dad bod can make one look like a giant baby or like someone under going chemo. Neal Stephenson seems to have done well with the facial hair route, not ending up looking like a pair of handlebars or someone with an upside down head.
Not in a position to respond longer right now, but that last study you referenced is actually one of the ones I had in mind, in that there is not evidence in this literature review for long-term effects after cessation.

The first study there shows some evidence of performance decline after cessation, but they do not eliminate adolescent users. The second study was unable to distinguish brain structure for users that had ceased consumption from normal brains.

I definitely was not trying to suggest that there are no cognitive impacts on current users.
People turning on AC when it's "almost 80" is part of the problem.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll keep working to make it clearer for sure.

To answer your question: yes, once you hit "let's get going" you should be brought to a soft sign-up. After that, you'll be redirected to a page that let's you join a Double community immediately via the "start now" button.
Yeah, whoever put that font in there was crazy (me lol). But noted, thanks!
Does no one else have copyrights preventing a license change? That's one thing I like about contributing to projects (at least those without license assignment), is once you do that the main author(s) can't re-license the project at all without your consent. They could re-write all your code instead, but it at least makes it harder.
That rule itself implies the sort of underpinnings that repel me from certain alternative social networks.
On the linked page:

> Where can I register?

> EU Voice is open for registrations only to EU institutions, body and agencies. However, you can still interact with EU Voice from many other compatible platforms. The Mastodon developers maintain a list of Mastodon platforms open for registration.
In my view majority of workers are as productive at home as they are in the office or more. The “body doubling” also happens at home, when more family members work from home. There is also much less interruptions and noise polution at home. We should also not pretend office work is without serious down sides compared to work from home. E.g. so much time wasted in traffic.
It's Ruby on Rails, which is the second slowest web framework I would consider reasonable for production use (after Django).

You have to take the Phoronix benchmarks with a very large grain of salt.

> This is open source, not a company with billions to spend on UX: they do what they can.

This is not an excuse, all it takes to have a decent -or even a good UX- is one person asking the right questions and following up by interviewing a few folks during the sign up process.

It could be done in less than 2 hours or during a coffee break.

Getting the right experience and setting aside the time to do it is just business as usual for any product owner, even if they work during they free time.
I don’t use any of those because I understand the law and how the use of copyright and licenses are a good thing, compared to these alternatives.

But I respect that if you’re going to go the route of no copyright / no license, at least SQLite owns it.
Sell it on Craigslist and buy a raspberry pi?
My terminal under FreeBSD is setup to be amber, though I basically guessed at the color code.
But to the original point, with domestic ownership, the domestic owner would grow the same crops and sell them to the same foreign buyers because they're willing to pay the prices that make it work.

The only solution is limit ground water extraction. Putting this on foreign owners dodges the solution no one wants to talk about.
The only thing I ever wanted since I was 7 is to have friends, go on adventures and battle dragons. That's it.

So 20+ years later me and my friend I met at college are building two houses next to each other (friendship), we are both immigrants who started at the bottom (adventure), and we try to do some side small project to help people investing (dragon).

Our classes are unfortunately both tanks. We can work a lot, but produce little damage.

We also both have healers in our team (girlfriends/wives), who provide additional support.

We are broke as any other mercenary, but we try our best to find that good loot.
Oh, I have no intention or reason to move away from twitter. My interest ist purely theoretical.
Because it's easy to grab that statistic and a lot more annoying to get the global one, especially because global deployment stats count "zones" and not delegations from TLDs. But there are almost twice as many signed domains in .COM (DNSSEC uptake: 1.6%) than there are in .NL, and the number of signed delegations drops rapidly after .NL (from 3.5MM to 1MM in .CH, to below 1MM in .BR; by the time we hit .UK, the graph is hard to read. My point being: adding up all the signed European names (which are signed automatically at registrars as security theater) isn't going to get you a more attractive uptake percentage.

It's possible that the reason I said "less than 4% of North American domains" is that I simply made a mistake, and should instead have said "less than 4% of all domains". Again: .COM has a 1.6% uptake. There are years in the last ~4 where DNSSEC uptake fell in .COM.

DNSSEC is moribund.
Zuckerberg Is Ahead of Our Time Again: The Metaverse
That may be well and true, but seems unrelated to the point i am making, which is that I would expect a single instance to be able to handle a few thousand users.
Tree-sitter and LSP (language server protocol) are both global standards. If you support them then you automatically support any language that has a tree-sitter grammar or implements an LSP.
Housing prices in Boise are at the highest they've ever been, people are being priced out of the area where they've lived for their entire lives, and we have large swaths of empty land. When a developer proposes building an apartment complex, people nearby lose their minds ("too much traffic", "too much crime", "i don't wanna see apartment complexes - they should build real houses for people", etc). Those same people complain endlessly about rising home prices and how they'd have to move far away if they ever sold their house.

It's incredibly frustrating.
Wind speed is hundreds of km/h. So, "turbulent mixing processes" rule.

There is plenty of un-oxidized material on the ground. Oxygen just needs to be kept off the carbon. And, it needs stirring. Big meteors could do a bit of that.

Earth gets its stirring from tectonics, which Venus lacks.

> I wouldn't trust the water in any industrialized country unless I could see the reports.

Most municipalities in industrialized countries regularly publish water quality tests and reports. Most areas also have independent testing labs that are used by private citizens to test their well water, so you're always free to double-check the official reports.

Rural areas are the ones who often don't. And industrial farming isn't the only way (literal) shit can contaminate your water supply.
Lead piping was still pretty common in the 20th century almost everywhere.
I'm not sure why I can't reply to the comment next to mine, but quite a few .gov sites use DNSSEC, so there's at least some point in using it.
Business Ideas for Vercel and Next.js
Yeah, it's a major issue (to some at least).

Lots of fly by night servers, stood up by (probably well meaning) people that have no idea if how hard it is to run and administer a server like that. Point in fact the "Mastodon.technology"(MT) server

If you read the heartfelt post from the MT owners/op on why it had to be shutdown. How much it took of his life to run it, and the choices he made. It doesn't matter that a new "like that" MT server is being stood up as a replacement. The MT server admins post shows the burden of running a server like that. For free (unless Patreon'ed I guess).

Activity Pub is a well designed protocol, but to my eye it has some major warts(). Add in it's decentralized nature and it shows how hard it will be to institute major changes, even if the community supported it.

I'd like to find a nice, professionally run Mastodon server, with clear rules and a believable investment in infrastructure and people. Absent that, I certainly can't see myself advocating for it, it recommending it to others. Shame too.

() Lack of encryption, lack of non-server discovery, lack of consistent, user controled server migration.p
You chose an area code for your phone number. Often people choose area codes from a home state as a bit of nostalgia or affinity, but in the end you can use any number to talk to any number, so it really does not matter much.

In Mastodon you can choose a french server if you are french and agree with generally accepted french values of moderation, or you can choose a general purpose server, or host your own.

There are a lot of LGBT servers and special interest servers with strict moderation, and general purpose servers that moderate very little.

It is also a bit like choosing what city to live in... except it is -much- easier to move if you decide you do not like the vibe and wish to live somewhere else. Mastodon has built-in user forwarding to take your follows and followers with you.
You can see the interpreter instructions through bpftool:

bpftool prog dump xlated id 173

To see the JITed instructions:

bpftool prog dump jited id 173

For the interpreted insns, you can also see the instructions in different forms, which is pretty neat. For example you can get a control flow graph in DOT format with `visual` specified at the end:

bpftool prog dump xlated id 173 visual

I learned about these commands through this blog post: https://qmonnet.github.io/whirl-offload/2021/09/23/bpftool-f...
You can' do anything but soft delete your data, not just Twitter but everyone will keep everything you post forever.
I think a lot of instances are about to experience their own version of the Eternal September.
> Many people who looked beyond those two metrics back then

And what exactly were they looking at? The revolutionary tech? How well as that met expectations?

> You can say, of course, that these people just got lucky.

Yes, that is what I'm saying. Few people made lots of money off meme stocks.
This sort of PSA feels very… inhumane - for lack of a softer word. Professional advise and all is great, but humans talking to other humans about the experiences, problems, and solutions is rarely a bad thing. And if the reader isn’t capable of thinking critically, then that’s a problem this sort of PSA won’t solve. Are you assuming the GP is extremely impressionable to the point they implement the advise of internet comments without any critical thinking whatsoever?

Sorry for the rant, but this is exactly the sort of almost-helpful comment that leads people to roll their eyes at appealing to the experts.
If this BBC story doesn't indicate that there is an overreaction to new Twitter management, I don't know what will.

It reminded me of when I was considering trying to move all of our customers to receive PGP encrypted mail in 2005. An intelligent employee brought up that an average business person would never do that. Luckily we never implemented it.

Mastodon is great but it isn't a replacement for Twitter. Too much friction. Too hard for the average journalist. Not enough reach.
It's very much a dupe by HN's rules of dupery. It's just that saying 'dupe' went a somewhat out of style since it can come off a little aggro. 'Past discussion' is often just the polite way to point out a dupe.
Agreed, but on the other hand it's the 3rd time I'm seeing this posted and there's no new releases or anything.

This sounds relevant to my interests. How big/strong heat dish did you use? And for how long at a time?
My problem is I get stuck at the very last step: publishing.

I take copious, detailed, organized notes for everything I do (house renovations, DIY projects, programming projects) with a robust system that I've fine tuned over the years. This habit has proven to be invaluable for me, as I continuously reference notes and learnings from many years prior.

However, by the time it comes to editing and publishing, I've already moved onto something else.

> These days I make myself do it: I tell myself that writing about something is the cost I have to pay for building it. And I always end up feeling that the effort was more than worthwhile.

This might work? Sometimes it's a tiny mental shift that changes everything.
Nothing you wrote is accurate.

The apps ran on both types of machines thanks to rosetta and the performance hit this takes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software)

It is doubtful that a PPC system can boot an intel MacOS HD. One is RISC the other CISC.

The reason you can "natively" run intel on ARM machines is Rosetta2

"Until recently, Mac developers only had to worry about creating Intel-based apps. However, that started to change when the first Apple silicon Macs arrived. For Intel-based apps to run on these computers, Apple introduced Rosetta 2."

Please read up before posting.
OP here. You're right the solution is based on the existing documented full text search solutions. You can technically only sent the data you need indexed and the ID instead of sending all data. There is no native mechanism and firebase functions makes it as seamless as possible.
People like Elon don’t understand there are real functions and established processes in place to mitigate and handle issues.

Elon is treating this like a startup hoping to get some strange lucky success. His head is in the stars. Lawsuits are the only he will learn from
I didn't pick random examples, I just used my regular practices.
How? Don't you have to unlock your number first somehow?
If Twitter remains useful for people who don’t subscribe to the $8 plan then it might be fine. But I recently saw an interview with Musk where he said those users’ tweets would be pushed “way down” in the priority queue, which is an important vote against. Note that even though this came straight from the new owner, one has to keep in mind that Elon Musk says all sorts of random nonsense: so maybe it’s just more bluff and he’ll keep everything stable for those users. On the other hand I think it’s enough of a warning that I’ve started using Mastodon, which turns out to be suddenly full of (infosec) experts and is actually a lot of fun — like Twitter back in 2013.
Seems neat, but trying to find Django documentation is not ideal: searching for "django prefetch" has GitHub repos as the first two results, and the third result is official Django documentation but for an ancient version, something that annoys me about other search engines too.

Out of curiousity, what kind of hardware are you running this on? I can imagine that you'd need a lot of storage to store the index, but the size of plain text can often be surprisingly small.
If these are your concerns you may be well served by hosting an instance on a domain you own.

It is a matter of how big a hurry you are in.

But, yes, it would be pointless to try terraforming Venus without von Neumann machines, and then it would end up thick with those, instead.

The Kuiper Belt offers more than the inner planets, provided energy is solved e.g. via aneutronic fusion.
Ah, it is all beginning to make sense now.
The option to WFH, and avoid commuting, congestion, pollution, higher costs, disruptions, be closer to your spouse/kids, and don't lose an additional 2 hours every day is indeed inherently better for anyone, everywhere.

If someone likes socializing, they can do more of that when WFH too (especially since WFH really means: working from anywhere, be it a cafe, a coworking space, a village, or wherever they like).

Except it their have issues at their home. But going to an office is not a solution to that, is sidestepping their real problem...

The only place where that's not good is when you need expesinve resources to work (e.g. access to labs and machines).
