> You truly live on the edge, my friend.

I have an issue sorting tabs. I don't want to throw away research, and than never find some interesting things again. Actually having so much windows is already a good sign as it means I've sorted parts of the mess. But would still need to bookmark (and tag) stuff and this could take some time.

So I just "never" close tabs… (I close them after reading, and bookmarking and tagging the more interesting things; but I open new tabs faster than I could sort old ones… That's the problem.)

I think I had once even over 10k tabs open. But back than FF was much more unstable and it crashed in the end.

It's one of the oldest KDE apps. I thing I was already there in version KDE 1. It's an drop-down console wrapper around `konsole-part`, the std. console "widget" in KDE. So it can do everything that Konsole (the default terminal in KDE) can do. But the window management is simpler with the drop-down approach.

Kate is the "dumb" desktop editor in KDE (besides KWrite, which I think nobody uses). But for a "dumb" editor it's quite powerful by now. And it's fast!

I don't do anything funky with it though. You can build half an IDE with it I think. But I never tried to get some LSP servers working with it. It's just my default "dumb" text editor.

I didn't know that there's a version for other OSes! Does it really work under macOS (or Windows)? I'm baffled to be honest. Also the webpage looks like Kate has much more features than I've seen. Even I use it for years. Interesting.
I don't think it appears on the timeline because it is something every company does when they get an opportunity. When a company had a chance 50 years ago to do it, they did it. When a company today gets a chance to do it, they do it.

I've said it over and over. The profit motive.
> While I'm glad and support that people donate to their instance, I would encourage more people to start their own instance instead of donating.

Sure… but then what?

I probably have the technical chops to setup an instance that won’t end up in a botnet in the first five minutes but that’s about it. No clue how to get people to responsibly (aka moderation) use it or even how to tell people there’s a new instance out there. Federation and all that, assuming there’s coordination between sysops in some way.

And judging by TFA the software is a dog so there’s non-trivial expenses involved. Or take a month to make my own implementation in C++ and have people accuse me of crimes against humanity because I don’t want to learn rust. Maybe there’s better options, dunno?

I assume this is all just backend stuff where people bring their own client?

I actually like figuring out how stuff like this works but “just run your own instance” isn’t helpful.

Admittedly, I haven’t even asked the google any of this but one thing I do know is I can’t afford to spend $1,800/month on anything that doesn’t generate significantly more income than that.
Money leaving the country directly translates to lower levels of wealth. An exception would be capital expenditures, in which case it might be good. I was mostly referring to consumption though.
How do you know it was a lie? The article never said that they didn't have an urgent personal matter the next day.

The partnership thing was more holding their cards close rather than laying them out on the table. A sell is a form of partnership.

Of course I don't know exactly hat was said or how it was said or the circumstances, but the article does not indicate that either of these things were necessarily lies.
Sure, companies are free to make their own choices based on their business incentives. But if you can create an account and be logged in without verifying an email address, then arguably the email address wasn't needed in the first place and you should just allow any type of username string. If the goal of your website is for email address to be the username, the you should confirm the user actually owns the email address they claim first - since anyone could lie and put a random email they don't own.

Yes, it's my VPN triggering it. I run my own Wireguard on a DigitalOcean box, and I'm the only user--so not exactly a lot of bad traffic coming off of my IP (may have in the past, though).

With the prevalence of Cloudfare now, it's pretty onerous to captcha every visit to a new site just because VPN. You would think Cloudfare could at least give me a "session" that persisted across the web, if they're going gatekeep the whole fucking thing.
Guys, go and run your own instances!

Don't feel urged to run mastodon, there are other solutions which are not that heavy (or written in a language you might know better). Check fediverse.party and find your match.

Currently, I have an GoToSotial instance for my family. For single user I propose microblog.dev

Also I started implementing my own ActivityPub server, which primarily aims to run on small hardware. But don't wait for that :)

What I already see is that instances get into troubles, not about costs. It's actually the other way round, they get multiple times their server costs in donations (without the proper business to receive donations) They lack people for administration, moderation and now handling of abuse notifications is getting a thing. And pretty much soon I expect first data privicy violations which end up suing the admin who is working hard on her/his free time to keep the service up and running. It would be really sad if capitalism succeeds to take down mastodon. It's the first time after email where a federated protocol got much attention.
Any idea why it thinks I'm so bad?

I find it odd that we were always encouraged to take notes, but never once taught how to do it. Most people tried to furiously write what was being said verbatim, which is definitely not ideal. A simple introduction to note taking would have helped so many people.

More to your point, that's definitely a strategy that works for some people. When I had two weeks of jury duty, everybody was pretty consistently scribbling notes on the various complexities of the case except one woman, who was staring off into space and looked like she wasn't paying any attention. I figured she'd be a dud, but when it came to deliberations, she was probably the sharpest one in the room.

You just have to find what works for you.
Agreed that the Undo button is the solution. (But it's every coder nightmare...)
Just half an hour ago I accidentially wired to much money while paying an invoice. I made the transfer on desktop in my browser and had to confirm with a phone app that showed recipient and amount - i just tapped "ok". A split second later I realized my mistake. There even is a cancel transaction function in the user interface but it just told me it's too late because the transaction is already processed...
Delaying transactions for about 1 minute with a cancel option would be a possible solution.
(in this case I mailed the recipient and hope they are honest)
Are users the only metric that counts? Some users post nothing, others post every 20mins average during 24hours. The more activity you have have, the more problems you have, backup costs don't grow linearly. Twitter probably has some SLO that are promised to paying customers, both for displaying ads and giving access to unrestricted APIs, this also grows more than linearly.

That said... CxO of masto.ai probably aren't paid 100s of millions$$$ and don't deal with international regulatory issues in Slovakia?
Except most AI safety doesn't involve scientists. In an extreme example, AI safety research funding funded harry potter fanfiction.
I don’t have a good resource, but min, max, minmax are good if you have a responsive layout where elements change (under a parent container in vh, vw, %) but you also want to have a threshold that is not exceeded. Like min-width or max-width, but as a value instead of the explicit css property, which means you can set properties to equal that value.

As a person with ADHD, that slower, deliberate nature goes against everything my brain wants. Even when learning from video, certain speakers seem too slow, and my brain prefers speedy information intake otherwise it wanders off to another universe.

I think my brain has a pretty wide bus, but no guarantees it has the next gen processor, and definitely no ECC memory, information gets corrupted and lost all the time. That's ADHD.
I think this might target you in a weird way.

This will affect used car sales, maybe like used video games with activation codes and the like.

> These companies aren't making independent decisions on this. Here is how the system works.

I don't think you have enough expertise on digital ads these days. Allocation and execution of advertising budget is a highly data driven process. Those activists cannot really make any dents if a platform can deliver consistent, predictable and high performances. But nowadays no one thinks the word "predictable" accurately describes the status quo of Twitter so many advertisers pulled their budget to avoid hassles.

Still the platform is supposed to be performing well thanks to how digital auction works. Big budgets are gone, less competitions on the auction so you're supposed to get more slots at lower costs, right? In this case, the loss should be minimal and advertisers will quickly return. But the problem is that its advertising platform is not working smoothly as before. Its ads frequency has increased significantly (1 per 5 tweets recently), which is a usual playbook for advertising networks when it needs to quickly cover significant performance loss. And Twitter was known to be one of the weakest advertising networks and it's even demonstrating a weaker performance.

Okay, it might not be that problem if Elon is willing to fix all the issues. And Elon is known to be a prominent hater of digital ads and has explicitly expressed that he wants to move the major revenue stream to other products (like Twitter Blue), so it's fairly natural to conclude that its investments on advertising will deteriorate even in the longer term. I don't see any reasons for advertisers to remain on platform. Stop blaming those "activists" or whatever you (and Elon) don't like. This is a conscious decision made by Elon, he just didn't know the consequence.
I wonder if this abstraction would increase shootings or decrease them?

Officers often fire because their adrenaline is up and they can claim their safety was jeopardized, even when the victim turns out to be unarmed.

If the officer is controlling a robot that might offer the chance to take a second and figure out a guy is just holding a cellphone.

Also, we'd be recording exactly the view the officer made a decision based on. No "oh, my body cam failed", or "oh, it looked different on the scene."
I think you can have null safety in Go and you certainly can have adts.

But even then, what about Ada?

I’m also not an expert, but I assume between C#/Typescript/haskell/swift that you can find all those things in many GC/safer languages.
Some kids put literally everything in their mouth so I can see not wanting those in a house with toddlers. It would be nice if we could agree upon what level of danger is acceptable at a society level. There are billions of households on this planet, so if X% of them have some $UNSAFE_FOR_TODDLER_OBJECT, Y% of those end up with a toddler in them, and Z% of those end up ingesting them, you end up with a startling number of injuries to toddlers.

Does that justify banning such objects? Warning labels can help, but there's lots of "oh, I got that in college and threw away to box" or "it was owned by my 19 year old nephew who is staying in our spare bedroom" &c. so even if every parent reads and understands all the warning labels (already a fantasy), Y% will never be zero.
Discovery: You'll tend to discover what other local users have already found or subscribed to. (Local timeline, hashtag search.)

Culture and rules: In this case this means how nudity is handled, whether anyone will care if you post spiders or gore without warning, some specific rules about AI-generated art, etc.

I can confirm that mastodon.art feels cozy and well-moderated, been there for years, also a financial supporter. Another sign that they care is that they've closed registrations, instead of trying to instantly moderate 3x the users. They've recently silenced mastodon.social, which again is mostly about calming down the local discovery features (you can still follow/be followed). They are blocking instances that encourage copyright violations, etc.

If you want an .art account, IMO right now you should start on one of the other instances they recommend, and move your account later. You can browse the local .art timeline and their view of hashtags without an account.
I keep a text document for things like code snippets but I still find paper notes helpful when I have meetings or just to keep track of what I’m trying to do as I work.
> laughable. absolutely laughable.

It’s really not laughable.

I’ve made games with off-the-shelf engines and I’ve made games using just code and libraries. Sometimes not even libraries.

The main concern here is that you have a limited amount of time to work on your game. Some people try to sidestep this concern by saying that they’ll “spend as much time as it takes” or something like that, but since these projects often fail due to attrition, I’m skeptical.

Engines like Unity and Unreal have plenty of constraints and they fight you, but you don’t have to fight them unless you have powerful, immovable, inflexible opinions about how the game code should be implemented. Otherwise, these engines give you a surprising amount of freedom. This freedom is not apparent to casual users of the engines and it’s not apparent if you read forums explaining how these engines are used.

> They are definitely not a pure win for someone making a game.

Sure. Not a pure win. In some sense, however, time is interchangeable with time. By choosing an engine like Unity or Unreal, you save some time in some areas of the project, and that time can be reinvested in other parts of your project. You end up with a higher-quality game in the same amount of time, in typical scenarios. Or you end up with a similar-quality game in a smaller amount of time, in typical scenarios.
It is almost as though many folks want Twitter to fail, instead of having a better social media to compete with Meta/TikTok. People forget that Elon was one of the original dot com millionaires with his success in PayPal. Back then they said that he can't land/reuse rockets or make electric cars.

Dog name trivia:

I live in a mixed Asian neighborhood. I've met four dogs owned by Indians, all named "Simba."

At one time in the dog park, there were three dogs named "Cooper."

But the absolute dumbest name you can give your dog is "Bailey." If you named your dog Bailey you are dead to me :)
But we're not talking about long lived, historic institutions; we're talking about South Korea, a republic formed out of the ashes of Japan's colonial project, and Ghana, a new country formed from the rapid retreat of Britain from its colonial empire.

You can talk about the legacy of the colonial institutions in the respective countries, but that has little to do with how hard South Korea worked in the 1950s, and more to do with how Japan and England administered their colonies, and how the transition from colony to state happened.

They're interesting books for sure, I remember enjoying reading them. But they're very selective in the facts they tell and how they tell them, and so they're almost worse than fiction in that respect.

1, 3, and 4 are already there, they're just a part of Hyper, not Axum/Warp/Rocket. 2 is basically the thing that Axum/Warp/Rocket provide. Hyper is kinda like net/http and Axum/Warp/Rocket are more feature rich. The thing is, they're super early. They don't remind me of the pared-down quality simplicity of the Gorilla Toolkit or even the feature paradise of Gin.

Honestly it a lot of the Rust http frameworks strike me as eerily similar to either Falcore or Revel. Falcore was a very early Go http application framework built by ngmoco, a now-defunct game company. Falcore didn't really gain a lot of traction, partially because it provided abstractions that weren't very ergonomic. It's whole thing was that the core abstraction was a modular pipeline. https://github.com/ngmoco/falcore

I think most people know Revel, it's a little less obscure. It's philosophically the precursor to Gin.
You need a privacy policy (or at least a one-liner statement) that gives potential users some assurance you aren't harvesting their username / IP / etc or the results for some other purpose or piping it to advertisers.
Efficient allocation is one big problem. Given the assumption that solar panel production will lag the optimum demand for a good while, the panels we do produce should be installed in places which maximize their output, modulo efficiency of transmission to a population centre. So, Sahara desert is out of the question, but Northern Europe is not ideal either. Arizona, Nevada and Texas should be blanketed.
Just a reminder, those people on twitter screaming up a storm didn't take the model down, Facebook did. If Facebook didn't want the model to come down, there's nothing the twitter mob can do about that. Twitter isn't a democracy, a million screaming voices have no power.

The report seems to be mostly concerned with the market economy nature of scientific publishing, which is fair. That said, I find that obsession with publisher profit margins and boycotts is not constructive.

On the one hand, the important roles of journals (evaluation, archival, dissemination, etc) come at a cost (and are crucial to science). Running a journal costs time and money. That money must come from somewhere. Publishers don't have to be for profit, but if they are, they will naturally attempt to maximize margins. That is just capitalism. But, it doesn't have to be that way. Alternative, non-capitalistic business models for publishing science are possible. They should emerge and compete with for-profit models (1).

On the other hand, boycotts and illegal solutions (e.g. Sci-hub) are non constructive simply because they offer no solution. Sci-hub is made of 88 million published articles, "published", indeed, by those same publishers it is fighting against. What is the end goal?

I personally support an open, innovative, and transparent publishing infrastructure, but one that is sustainable in the long term and solution-driven. My two cents!

(1) Note: just being non-profit is not enough, if you don't have a scalable and sustainable solution. Also... if you are non-profit and your business plan is to be funded by charitable foundations created by billionaires via capitalistic means, what is the whole point of changing the system?

But what I think you disregard is the practitioner’s preference to copy and paste arises because either that’s specific language that has either been litigated and a court has ruled on what those words mean (to that court anyway), or you’re trying to implement the same deal as all the other contracts with the same provision, so why write it differently?

In the best case scenario, the new, carefully crafted language will be interpreted exactly the same way as the old language, and in the worst case scenario, it will be interpreted as meaning something totally different - because if the drafter meant to say the same thing as everyone else, why didn’t they just use the words everyone else uses?!

I’m not particularly defending this state of affairs, but precedent counts for a lot - not just in common law legal decisions, but in contracting as well.
