> I am wondering what will happen if RSS readers find a way to share comments on posts

The IndieWeb community is focused on this with Social Readers[1] and Webmentions[2]. The core idea is your reader also ties into your own published feed, so you can make a comment right in your reader that publishes the comment to your own feed and sends a webmention to the original article so they know about it.

Barriers to entry are still kinda high (much like making a website 25 years ago) so any adoption should lead to a better signal/noise ratio. Unless it becomes popular enough for bots to start spamming the webmentions...

Thankfully No, but I know a few.

If you think tech workers have office BS to complain about, gov’t workers are at least 10x higher on the scale.
Given the reported numbers of resignations, that seems unlikely.
The standard answers for this are:

Where Wizards Stay Up Late by Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon, about the origins of the Internet.

Weaving the Web by Tim Berners-Lee, about the origins of the World Wide Web.
Beautiful. Do you have more written about Plato or related topics?

Microsoft hired the main architect of VMS, Dave Cutler, away from DEC to design Windows NT - so this shouldn’t be a surprise.

> I think all luxury manufacturers will experiment with this unfortunately.

And not so luxury as well, they might start by giving you the features and financing that by playing/showing you the ads and giving the incentive to pay. I imagine in not so distant future even the microwaves for plebs will have ads.
Yeah, I was expecting him to make a few cuts and focus on subscriptions or other revenue sources but I guess the losses he was looking at spurred a swing for the fences. I feel bad for anyone at Twitter who’s along for the ride.
No, the billion dollars for the global Supercharger network came out of their own revenue. They only consider opening the network to non Teslas where required by law (EU) or where gov subsidies are provided (which is rare).
I knew a guy (Marc Crispin) who had a PDP-20 in his spare bedroom.

My personal theory as to why manufacturers don't lock these down more...

In a similar vein, I strongly suspect Windows would never have become the #1 OS had Microsoft locked it down further in its heyday.

We had a kiosk-type system at a computer repair shop where I worked where if we were super busy the customer could enter the make and model of the computer along with what the complaint was and their name and phone number and leave it on the counter for us to intake later.

We caught several people bringing in a different computer later trying to claim it was the same one and we owed them a "warranty repair" because we failed to fix it the first time.

Instead of modifying the kiosk application to require a serial number, the owner did away with it altogether and one of us from then on would have to drop what we were doing and intake all computers manually.

I suggested we could have text on the screen to the effect of "Attempting to obtain a repair under false pretenses is theft of services" or some such but he wouldn't have it.

So I guess the way we dealt with "fraud in our app" was that we stopped using the app.
I don't think there's a counterpoint at all - on the debate of handwritten notes vs typed notes the Socrates argument would definitely not be on the side of faster typed notes but rather on putting more effort into careful writing, it's just that he's saying that you should go way beyond taking mere handwritten notes and verbally repeat the same content until you can fully memorize it by heart.

The first article is saying that A < B and Socrates is saying that B < C - and both of them use similar argumentation (essentially, that taking shortcuts to do it faster is counterproductive to proper understanding), there's no contradiction and no counterpoint.
Instead of the array spread syntax, why not:

for(let i=0; i<clicks; i++){ e.click() };
“They were used to push pro-Western narratives across the world… But they had also proven largely unsuccessful.”

Given the uproar over Russian propaganda on Facebook during the 2016 election it seems rather hypocritical of the US government to pursue this.
Part of the mostly made up version of the American Dream is like "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" which oddly also implies "and then once you have, close the door behind you. Don't want this party getting too crowded". My point is that fetishizing capitalism requires a taste for squeezing others for all their worth. If others aren't, then that means you endured that bootstrap pain for no reason!
Sorry for hijacking your expertise, but why no mention of memory leaks? In my experience they can cause really weird bugs not obvious at first, and are difficult to reproduce, i.e. triggered by edge cases that happen infrequently. Or are you assuming services automatically restart when memory is depleted?
I had a couple trips to the Google building in the converted Nabisco factory there.

Overleveraging Attention
My point was you can't gleam any sort of knowledge about what internal employee information they have based on a careers page.

It's all speculation based on nothing of substance. That's why I asked GP to expand on his thought process.
They say they envisage delivery of the whole system on four trucks.

Not single family home (unsurprisingly, the economics of very small scale nuclear are awful even ignoring the safety concerns), but night and day compared with conventional large nuclear reactors.
With those 2 things combined into a solution, you're gambling that we will always have average good wind conditions long enough to keep the grid batteries from going empty. Sadly, under your proposed regime, as time approaches infinity the chance that the grid will run out of power approaches 100%.

If you could avoid straw-manning me about nuclear and lithium in the future that would be super cool. I've played enough factorio to know that green power and batteries are part of the best solution, but you need high energy density generation systems for fast advancement too! If we turn our backs on that tech we know works we will lose future opportunities, or at least delay them
Why does it seem pointless?

99% of the time you'll be correct labeling people as conspiracy theorists with the blanket rule - any time they are not mainstream approved. You'll end up being horribly wrong on that 1% that actually matters.
The so called "AI safety" researchers issuing breathless warnings about the dangers of superintelligence are nothing but grifters. They are the modern equivalent of shaman, telling the common people that they need ever increasing amounts of resources to continue their vital work in protecting us from wrathful spirits. There is zero actual scientific evidence to support their claims. It is essentially a modern-day secular religion.

(There is value in doing research and ethical analysis into AI/ML statistical algorithms to prevent hidden biases or accidental physical harm. People working in those areas are producing real benefits for the rest of us and I'm not criticizing them.)
More important than pure functional programming is: smart timeouts, builtin load shedding/backpressure, supervisory restart trees.

I think about the story of he discovery of H. pylori as contributing to peptic ulcer disease. The theory was widely rejected but ultimately proven. The mitigating factor in accepting the theory was that the researcher did not have a reputation of peddling quack theories.

`Box::leak()` gets you a `&'static` at runtime. No raw pointers and no `unsafe`, but also no way to free the memory (because `&'static`).

Twitter is far far away from engineering excellence tho. It hires a lot of engineers to do relatively little. You can feel "productive" without actually producing anything useful for company too. Like, after their whole 2 years of being profitable their revenue steadily increased... but costs increased faster which leads to obvious question "what are those people doing?".

What musk is doing is obviously not sustainable and can ruin technical competency but it is not exactly example of "ruling by performance" as much as him just cleaning house/cost cutting company that was not profitable for more years than profitable.

Also people's motivation are different. Allowing people to self govern and do what they want to makes for happy employees but shit output, example being Valve with it famously flat structure and barely any release. You do need some pressure to make stuff useful for the company and you do need some pressure to actually finish it instead of playing around.

Rewarding innovation sounds good on paper but ends to Googler complex where nobody wants to do maintenance as you won't get pay rise out of it compared to working on some cash cow or something new, if there are no incentives for maintenance.

Cutting low performers no matter what gets you stack ranking and old Microsoft, and team that happened to hire only good people are hurt for no good reason.
which is what ETL is, isn't it?
Designing Internal DSLs in Scala (2008)
Yes, those are a huge improvement over the Java/C++ way. I cant tell if in a typical implementation all extension methods share the same namespace though (i.e. if the language has the concept of a "namespace" can one safely define two different extension methods on the same object in two different namespaces; this is trivial in CLOS since methods are not namesepaced to objects in any manner).

A quick read of the wikipedia article makes it look like in C# you can do this, but not in Ruby.
A regulator refusing to allow something isn't a regulator refusing to regulate.

When people say the SEC refuses to regulate crypto, what they mean is the SEC refuses to treat them like banks. That is, the SEC doesn't take the attitude "the general thing you want to do is fundamentally reasonable, let's work together to write rules that enable it". Instead, the SEC regulates crypto more like the DEA regulates weed: "we think what you're doing is bad, but we're probably won't arrest you. Still, don't take this as an endorsement".
Interactive Map of the Universe Takes You All the Way Back to the B
What puzzles me is Socrates refers to listening to an oak (tree) or even a stone, but dismisses the possibility of the same from a painting.

What does he even mean by listening to an oak? To my 21st c. ears, it is much more sensible to talk of listening to a text as if the author were really here, howsoever remote the text or the author be, than listening to a stone.
This is also C++20’s calling card. It has `std::span`.

Tangential, but one of my favorite types of signs reads as follows:

I see these signs in the American southwest and every time my day is made; so delightful. Everyone has time for tamale lady.
Tpope (Tim Pope) Vim Plugins
Speed comparison... it's been a while since I've checked, but I remember hearing Caddy will perform at about 70% of the capacity of a fully tuned Nginx, at least as a reverse proxy. Don't remember where I read that. So Nginx will be a bit faster.

However, from what I hear, you will probably never run into a situation where you use all of that, at least in typical situations, because you'll probably run into RAM limits or CPU limits related to the SSL cryptography first. So both will probably be 'fast enough'.

Caddy will be easier to configure than Nginx. That's just because it has a config file built to be nice and easy to read.

There are probably more external tools built to work with Nginx, but you might not need those.

Don't know much about envoy or traefik comparisons, but from what I've heard, traefik is built for a little bit of a different purpose, mainly for containers. You'll have to research more into it.
Just curious, but when you genuine open-source license what do you include? Going back to the earliest talks on a potential language Blow cites a non-GPL, permissive license as his probable license. I know some folks tend to not count BSD, Public Domain, etc as open source.

Yes, I remember when that happened but didn't hear that detail in the news reports that I recall. Later in the article it sounds like this type of use may be what is in mind at SFPD:

“Robots will only be used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force option available to SFPD.”

and

"The renewed conversation around killer robots in California comes, in part, due to Assembly Bill 481. Signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September of last year, the law is designed to make police action more transparent. That includes an inventory of military equipment utilized by law enforcement.

The 17 robots included in the San Francisco document are part of a longer list that also includes the Lenco BearCat armored vehicle, flash-bangs and 15 sub machine guns."

It's funny, but this is a success story of a free speech platform that can effect social change. Shame that Musk shut it down so fast.
There are plenty of studies of near-100% renewable energy grids and the electricity comes out similar to long-term wholesale trends (pre-Ukraine), even taking storage/transmission into account.
For me it’s the fact that mining is centralized. Censorship resistant? Good luck if pools collude to stop you from spending. Code is law? Good luck if they decide to amend the protocol and fork the blockchain.

Take as a simple example of making mining more democratic — ie we can all mining on our CPUs without being completely dwarfed by those who imported Chinese hardware. That’s an easy change to the protocol. Do you think that the current pools will vote for that?

The whole thing is a facade.
One of the first "Web 2.0" apps I remember using next to Gmail; it was called Audioscrobbler back then. I used the scrobble feature religiously to log my listening habits from 2005-2012.

While Last.fm failed to capitalize on early innovations like the social media features and algorithmic online radio, the "scrobble" feature oddly enough stood the test of time. Even though it was the pre-smartphone age, developers built unofficial applications to let you log your listens from almost anywhere: iPod/iTunes, Windows Media Center-compatible MP3 players, and eventually any audio player that ran the hacked Rockbox OS, including the iPod 5G.

Failing to engage with ideas you find distasteful just creates a vacuum of good information; which is the environment where conspiracy theories thrive. I've followed Graham Hancock for twenty years and have yet to see anyone properly dismantle his positions. I don't believe everything he says: but dogmatically dismissing him only fuels his narrative that mainstream archaeologists are trying to suppress him in order to save their jobs (and grants).

Given the highly falsifiable nature of his claims it should easy enough to disprove them. That nobody chooses to do so is quite curious. I can watch a hundred spirited debates and proofs on both sides of flat-earth, fake moon landing, essential oils curing cancer, and evolution vs young-earth creationism. What is so special about archaeology that it needn't mount a similar, vigorous defense?
How many people would even notice?
Not sure if that's a case for or against screen time.
I'd imagine by googling it and getting this:

and see that revenue is growing but it's still in the red, and obvious conclusion to that being "they hired a lot of people that don't bring that much profit"
I agree. While I still sometimes come back for some specialised forums, reddit has taken over most of my time that was spent in forums, just because it's so convenient to have all these small subreddits in one app.

I still have more than fifty forum accounts in my keepass but I can't even remember when I've last been to budgetlightforum.com, for example, even though it's still superior to /r/flashlights.

In a way it's sad, because I've seen some forums suddenly die, and the knowledge of more than a decade just vanished overnight. Vast repositories of DIY and repair information on old petroleum lanterns just gone, while the people who have experience with them are slowly dieing out. But I guess I'm part of the problem, since all I do on these forums is lurking nowadays.
Sure, but that's a different and unrelated argument to the question of theoretical cost which is what was being discussed.
It's even more complicated than that. Whether timestamps should change when timezones change depends on the use case.

"Let's meet at 8am Mar 3 2023" probably shouldn't become "Let's meet at 7am Mar 3 2023" if the timezones shifts.
Suppose I start a Web2 company, and end up building the next big social network. Or maybe I deploy Mastodon or Qbix and make a large community.

Now elections, roles, permissions and credit balances may hold significant total value.

Various jurisdictions now start to require you to hold surety bonds, get audits etc. Suppose you manage payments volume of $20 million a month for a teacher marketplace. One of your developers can just go into the database and change all the balances, salami-slicing money to themselves. Or someone can go and change all the votes.

How can the users trust elections, or that you won’t abscond with the money one day, or get hacked, like FTX and MtGox?

Web3 solves this with smart contracts. For the first time in history, we can guarantee (given enough nodes) that it is infeasible to take actions you are not authorized to do. The blockchain is readable by everyone - but more importantly, only authorized accounts can take individual actions that do a limited amount. It’s truly decentralized.

The alternative is to build elaborate schemes where watchers watch the watchers — and the more value is controlled by the database (in terms of votes or balances) the more risk and liability everyone has. Why have it?

Have teachers be paid by students using web3 smart contracts and tokens. Your site becomes merely an interface which contains far more low-value things.

As for data, you can store it on IPFS with similar considerations. Read this:

https://community.intercoin.app/t/who-pays-for-storage-nfts-...

As you can see, my company and I have been giving it a LOT of thought, and not distracted by ponzi schemes. I am able to articulate exactly when you need Web3 and IPFS.
Angry protests at giant iPhone factory in Zhengzhou
> The top down, hard ass culture of Elon etc, basically flips the work to being extrinsically motivated based on fear.

Do you really believe that? If you look at videos from SpaceX launches for example, do you see scared people motivated by their fear of Elon…?

I’m not saying everything Elon does is golden. But there seems to be a major gap in understanding here between different personality types. I find that interesting. If you could elaborate a bit on your point of view it would be much appreciated.
The cool thing is we can choose where to arbitrarily draw lines between acceptable and not acceptable.

I’d say we can choose to place that line somewhere between “regulating modifications to cars” and “draconian health examinations for licensing”.

In your satirical scenario the methods needed in order to prevent strokes while driving are far less reasonable than the methods needed to regulate modifications to critical systems of cars, from feasibility of implementation to the effects on personal privacy and liberty. Therefore I think we can pretty easily distinguish the two and they are not really that similar.
