> hoping that Deno would be a reboot

That's exactly what they tried, by settting up a Deno-only registry.

But there is just way too much work and momentum happening in the NPM ecosystem. Many library maintainers wouldn't want to bother maintaining separate packages for a barely-used ecosystem, and users will be less likely to switch because they can't use the existing (huge!) ecosystem.

It's the same language after all, "just" a different standard library (which is very impactful for lot's of server-side code) and packaging/distribution mechanisms.

This move was probably inevitable.
The average America has little personal experience with corruption. I wouldn't dare even suggest to a cop that he take a bribe to make my speeding ticket go away, while in many other countries that sort of low-grade corruption is standard. I think this experience leads many Americans to falsely believe that America is generally free of corruption, which of course isn't true in the higher rungs of society. Rich people in America commonly bribe politicians, universities, etc. It's a whole different game for them, they play by a different set of rules that most Americans have never been exposed to.

(I think it works this way across the anglosphere, not just America. The average Briton can't bribe the average British cop, but their royals/etc certainly pay to make crimes go away.)
>A colleague a few years ago went as far as to suggest that this is how you ended up with nazis.

Your colleague does appear to have done a lot of reflection and/or reading ( feel free to ask him to contact me if he finds the stuff on my profile of interest). Most people just think Hitler=evil as the sole contibuting factor to the holocast, but I say that it's people around him, who did not have the conscience or who ignored it, that lead to his rise. There are a fair number of potential 'hitlers' around us, but it's primarily people around those dysfunctional individuals that keep them in check.
I think it's closer to hiding a pile of money personally.

The security is based on you remembering a 12 word string or geolocation, and the string/geolocation can't be siezed via court order (other than exceptional circumstances, or by finding the location/keys).

The 'storage' in both instances is decentralised. If you forget your 12 word string or geolocation, you lose your money.

Banks on the other hand:

* Provide convenient and safe access

* Will invest your money (in exchange for interest).

* Allow you to reset your credentials if they are forgotten (by proving identity)

* Are centralised

I haven't tried it, but I've heard Pop_OS! is a pretty popular distro these days. If you want something really lean and unobtrusive (though you may need more up front setup), you may want to look at an XFCE based distro (my personal favorite).

Just remember, most distros have live usb stick distros so you can always try out a bunch before you decide on the right one for yourself.

> it seems that there is little to no investigative reporting done by the conservative media

There is, but if you're ever exposed to it it's probably in the context of brutal point-by-point debunking. On account of how it tends to be hilariously bad. Like that recent Mules "documentary" from D'Souza, or various Sinclair must-run pieces. Typically they're just very-slanted advocacy masquerading as investigative reporting. Or they take the form of popular opinion-jockeys running special "exposé" episodes that are also mostly or entirely easily-dismissed-with-public-info BS. Collectively, these seem to sate the conservative demand for conservative-flavored investigative journalism, and are all much cheaper than doing actual investigation, especially since you'll always find something to "expose" and there are never any dead-ends wasting time and money (since there's no need for actual substance behind the whole exercise).

If you mean from actual newsrooms, sure, those don't do much investigative reporting, but then there aren't a lot of conservative newsrooms. And it's not like the non-conservatives ones do much, either, with a few exceptions.
I like him, even bought his first Flask book. I just don't agree with him on this one. He (I hope is he, correct me OP) tries to make the short term scaling issues of one Fediverse project (Mastodon) the reason of why decentralization is bad or not feasible.
I recently heard a similar sentiment shared by the developer of T2 Linux, although the issue he focused on was the relative complexity of bootstrapping the Rust toolchain: https://youtu.be/T83CGZz2HTc
There is nothing grammatically wrong there.
The employees could vote and decide themselves what to do with the money. After all, they're the ones who do all the work.

If not that, I'm sure if we use our imaginations we could come up with some better system than we have now. Really, it doesn't even have to happen all at once. Incremental change is still change. Perhaps, we could start by mandating that the company's books be open to the workers, or that they have a veto vote over CEO compensation. There are tons of things we could do, the problem is really power dynamics not lack of ideas.

A lot of effort goes into doing things like raising taxes and spending public money on education and health- mostly because those are the levers we have access to right now. Not because those are the things the left would really like to change.

I just don't care about the interests I'm not interested in at the time. The issue I used to have was that spending time on A meant I wasn't doing B. Now I'm in my thirties and I just don't care about B, as long as I'm finding my time rewarding. Across the years the literal item A might have become item B or vice-versa and it just doesn't matter. If there's something specifically and directly relevant to work or getting work that's a different matter. But interests? Fk no, I'll follow my impulses there like a child, only sometimes will I cajole myself into doing something challenging for interests.

It is not percentage based but based on the demand for the next block space. That demand is on the basis who will pay the most per byte for each transaction so your is based on the number of bytes in your transaction (usually directly proportional to the number of inputs and outputs) and how quickly you want it in the next block. Currently about 44 cents will guarantee you in the next block - note this is a moving target based on the competition for block space. mempool.space is a good visualisation.

It's in the abstract already: money creation is a result of bank's loan creation - the two are connected. Banks don't take deposits that they then lend out, they instead create those deposits ex nihilo when they make a loan.
All these are true. But I don't get how that relates to what I said.

Although, in the early days, a journalist wouldn't have found the gas trading. While Enron traded oil early on, they pretty much built the gas trading industry at the same time they were becoming more scammy.
I think the website could be clearer, but the use case is already pretty clear: it's a foundational piece for you to build your own CI/CD infrastructure, it doesn't provide a complete experience out of the box. The first section says the following:

> Bob allows you to build your own custom CI / CD infrastructure thanks to it's composable architecture, allowing you to use Bob for various different purposes

The "Why" page goes further and explains what Bob is, so what is not described there, it doesn't ship with, like a UI, which would be up to you to decide which UI to use, or to write your own (or skip fully if you don't need it, maybe just use IRC/Matrix/Discord/Slack notifications?) https://bob-cd.github.io/pages/why-bob.html

> It feels like Bob CD website makes sense only if you already know how to use Bob CD.

Just as a disclosure; I have never heard about Bob CD since I read the linked website from this submission, so no previous experience. And I think I grok it pretty easily, although I've built and maintained more CI/CD integrations/platforms than I care to count at this point, so probably biased a bit.

Unpopular solution to slow websites is – CDP for devs
On average, sites have 43 tags and trackers for analytics and advertising (source: Pingdom research) which increases the page load time by 3x (9 secs with trackers vs 3 secs without trackers).

That's huge! I see developers giving up on fixing this after just making sure that those scripts load at the end. But it can be optimized even more. By using a Customer Data Platform(CDP) such as RudderStack or Segment. These tools provide a way to stream events data from website to various analytics and advertising tools. Which means you load one script of the CDP instead of 43, and then CDP handles the event streaming to those 43 tools. Giving a huge jump in performance improvement as well as the maintenance.

Now this is new for me, wondering if others are doing the same thing already and I was the only one living under rock?
>paradox of tolerance.

Great observation.
North Korea became a mastermind of crypto cybercrime
Not sure this article is internally coherent. It starts out saying that centralization or decentralization should be an implementation detail. At the end, it advocates for a market-oriented centralization approach. Throughout, it calls out problems that seem to be features.

The analogy to decentralized package hosting seems misaligned. If a package repo disappears, it breaks a tree of dependencies. If a social media instance disappears, the followers (the "dependencies") can adapt without being disrupted. This seems like a feature.

On the issue of "not agreeing what it should look like," this also seems like a feature. Communities can use the platform to self-organize according to their own visions and priorities. Surely, someone who has spent time exploring the various instances available can quickly identify this. Not agreeing what it should look like is what makes it what it is. Not having to force everyone to agree what it is, is what it is. Again, it's a feature, and something fediverse users have happily "learned to live with," and moreover, embraced.

Moderation and illegal content are a legitimate challenge on any platform. With the decentralized fediverse, everyone handles it according to their own policies. This does mean some admins allow it perhaps more than they should, but it also means they face the consequences directly. Admins who work to keep it out do face a daunting task in many cases, but there are tools for it. And a process of sort of natural selection already seems to favor those who have the resources and energy and motivation and skill to do it well. Seems, again, like a feature.

"Mastodon is old." Not sure how this has anything at all to do with centralization or decentralization. We all use things that are old. Many old things work great. As far as others not getting their changes merged back, well, that's the benefit of forking and open source. Anyone who wants changes that aren't part of the upstream can fork it and make those changes. If enough people like them, people will move to the fork. It happens all the time. Feature.

Technical challenges described are demonstrably surmountable.

Market-based approach: well, we're living it, and Mastodon in particular is succeeding in the market. There are competitors like Pleroma and microblog.pub. If enough people decide Mastodon proper has "fucked up too much," then there are others right behind it ready to "step in and replace it."

I dunno. There are arguable advantages to centralization, but I'm not sure this article touches on them, or at least not convincingly. Rather, it seems like the main complaints, if they're not in fact addressed by the design and operation of the fediverse, are design choices that give the fediverse advantages in other aspects. In any case, I don't see how the claim of the headline is well-supported by the points raised in the article.
That's the price of convenience. Either you have your own storage (preferably on hardware you own, such as a home NAS) or you have the convenience. You won't have both. My nextcloud server hosts my music. It doesn't host anything that I didn't buy, but I'm pretty sure the music I once bought won't disappear...
Way back to get a Schengen tourist visa you have to prove you had a certain amount of money available to cover expenses - you just borrowed money from friends and family for a few days, got a letter from the bank stating you had X in your bank account and then went over living in backpacker lodges and moonlight as a waitron to make money while travelling.

I presume it is more difficult now.
For me, even though I had a superficial understanding of git, it was finally after going through the first few chapters of the Pro Git book that things finally clicked, and I literally sat there wondering how I managed to code anything at all without using git for years.

> For programming it was How to Design Programs at www.htdp.org

I already have over 4 years of professional software engineering experience (mostly backend web development). And before that I've been coding as a hobby for like 8 years prior to that. I'm pretty good with C, python, and PHP, though I'm familiar with plenty of other languages. I also know a little bit of Haskell.

For a person like me, is HTDP worth it? I had started with it previously but I found it a little boring. But I know the book is well regarded so I'm wondering if I should take another shot at it.

Gentle inquiry: Are you a comedian or work in comedy? Can you state a general region of comedy you're familiar with (USA Comedy? UK Comedy?) without doxing yourself?

If you release TerminatorOS which is an experimental OS for AIs hellbent on destroying the world, you are fine.

If someone uses TerminatorOS and you did not sell it to them, they will be responsible for its use, you are fine.

If you start terminator.io, a startup that sells TerminatorOS powered drones that shoot you in the face, you are not fine and need to comply.

In the same way, if BIND starts BIND.io to sell Bind-as-a-Service, then they'll have to be compliant. If BIND is found to be ran at 90% by AWS with AWS paid employees, they won't need to be compliant. Otherwise, you'll be fine.

> Banks are not exchanges.

This is the most important sentence to say over and over again in this entire discussion. Crypto people have somehow forgot this idea or maybe most of them never realized it in the first place. Your wallet is where your coins should be stored - the exchange is a place where you have pointers to your N wallets for N coins - not the freaking contents of the wallets themselves!
So, we might have different interests but I'm generally just interested in learning everything.

What I do: I needed a fence, instead of paying someone I learned how to build a proper fence. Submitted plans to the city. Researched wood, researched fasteners, etc.

For me it is generally easier to stick with it when I force myself into it. Books are a good learning tool but jumping in deep works for me. Obviously, this may not work for learning history, but I guess you could set your sights on writing a document on some part of history and then just research for it. Writing it would cement your knowledge.

I have basically learned to work on cars, paint cars, plumbing, some electrical, anything inside a home really. Initially, I was forced to do things on my own because I was broke. Now, I have money but still refuse to pay for anything and just DIY on the extreme as I will really dive deep and learn best practices etc.

It has been really fun. If I could make what I make as a dev building fences I would probably do it.
> But the general public went for siloed systems instead.

And yet some former Twitter users have identified why this is a problem, and are now moving back towards a decentralized platform. It's why scaling Mastadon is even a topic right now.
My beef with it is that it is a series of opinions stated in the form of facts. If the topic was something like programming, CPU's, etc this approach would not go over so well, but for certain topics it seems like concern for the truth is ~unacceptable.

And why does this matter, at least plausibly? In my opinion, because of this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect

I believe that if humans get the idea in their head that they have no free will, it could be detrimental to rising to serious challenges like climate change, inequality, etc.

Yeah, which could be really annoying for someone who has a challenge pressing two buttons fast enough to trigger.

A hotel I stayed at had touchscreen "requests" for elevators (you put in your floor and it would call a elevator for you) and it was super annoying (trying to get floor 12 would doublebounce on 1 and 2 so you'd often get 11 and 22 before getting 12) until I found a pedestal out of the way that had real buttons for all floors.

The "hold your keycard up against the thing" is also really annoying when it is 5 feet off the ground; imaging having to wait for an elevator until someone comes along who can hold your card up there for you.

Also the network is far too slow to handle even a fraction of the day to day transactions handled by VISA. Even if you relegate it to more substantial transfers SWIFT handles around 35 million transfers per day and for the whole month of October this year the main chain only handled 7.9 millionish from what I can find. It's so slow there's a whole opaque secondary layer that had to be built to get it even close to potentially handling day to day transactions.
Thanks. Pop_OS! is a candidate for testing here already if Ubuntu doesn't work out. I picked Ubuntu as a first point because I grabbed a Lenovo Neo 50s desktop and that supports it out of the box. That will set expectation for hardware compatibility and issues for other distributions or variants.
This is just the latest round of cuts at Amazon: "From April through September, it reduced head count by almost 80,000 people, primarily shrinking its hourly staff through high attrition."

The real problem is using multithreading in CPython for any set of tasks that has a nonzero chance to block one of the tasks due to a CPU-bound issue. The rule of thumb here - and I learned that the hard way - is to use async/await for anything I/O bound, and multiprocessing for anything CPU-bound.

Youtube Music actually does have a option to upload up to 100,000 songs. This was one of the biggest selling points of Google Play Music and the feature was mostly carried over. The difference now is that uploaded files aren't automatically added to the library, they live in a different section. You can make a playlist that includes uploaded songs and songs on youtube music, but the song suggestion/radio feature does not combine them. But there are no limits to listening like you experienced with Apple music. Youtube music premium can be bought standalone or bundled with youtube premium.

The other alternative is self hosting, plex and plexamp are popular.
