> Its decentralized nature makes some things a lot more difficult to pull off than its competitors.

Help me understand one thing about Mastodon. We choose a Mastodon server to create account. What is decentralized about it? Doesn't choosing a server make it effectively centralized? I choose mastodon.social. What is there to stop mastodon.social from a change of ownership that makes it fall in the hands of people who take user-hostile decisions?

I know we can create a new account on a new Mastodon server and move all the followers but that's about it. We can only move the followers. We cannot move our post history. So when I choose mastodon.social or any Mastodon server, am I not putting all my eggs in one basket again?

As an American, I am coming to appreciate the First Amendment, the freedom of speech, more than ever before. I can better see why, now, out of all amendments, this is the first. And why it is so absolute. I am also glad that we do not have "hate speech" laws. The Stanford word-banning list is a perfect example as to why. The university is the pinnacle of our institutions. The staff who composed this list are upper echelon members of society. They serve as gatekeepers to our future success and now wish to dictate what is good and bad. If hate speech laws were to be enacted, who do you think would have significant influence on what gets added to the list? I'd bet it would be individuals like these. People and institutions closest to Washington D.C. I am already under threat for losing my job for saying "master branch". But a "hate speech" law could very well charge me with a crime as well.

Circling back to why the First Amendment is absolute. I appreciate it is this way because it compensates for the fact that composing a list of what shouldn't or cannot be said is impossible to compose. And any attempts to do so will only lead to tyranny and undermine the point of the amendment itself.
I don't understand why they are being ridiculed about military inefficiency. That's without any ill will or sarcasm towards Russia the best part of this whole situation. Literally everything would be worse if their military had been more efficient.
The gap to native code will, most likely, always be there. Information is lost during the translation to WASM that an optimizer could have leveraged on the target architecture, not to mention WASM itself is adding overhead to satisfy the portability & security goals it is targeting.

Similarly WASM will always lag behind the state of the art for native code (eg, new SIMD or other accelerated instructions). That's the price of portability after all.
If you can figure out that’s the “main” server to go sign up on, sure.

With Facebook and Twitter there is no question where to go sign up. That’s less clear with Mastodon. Simply knowing one has a choice of servers will turn some away.

I am seeing a lot of comments along the lines of 'windshield wipers?'

Cars were invented in 1886, the first windshield wipers became available for them in 1917, 31 years later. That is...

- in an environment with plenty of water - not near waterless,

- on glass windshields (much less fragile than solar panels),

- where we can physically replace the wipers when needed,

- where we can adjust if they get stuck,

- and where there is much less dust.

If we add 5 years of R&D to overcome each of those obstacles (very optimistic, it's more like 10 well-funded years I suspect), then even optimistically we're looking at 25 years. I suspect we might have a rover with self-cleaning panels, or safe cold-fusion, in 25 years. I don't expect one this decade.

Surfingkeys is more customizable and has more features. You can use Surfingkeys API with javascript to add more customizations. It's good for adding custom keybindings to certain websites. Look at this config repo to see what's possible with Surfingkeys: https://github.com/b0o/surfingkeys-conf
It also supports neovim editing in browser, markdown previewer, pdf previewer with key bindings, etc.

Vimium is more robust as they have resisted the temptation to open their apis and allow unlimited customization. It's good for you if you don't have the need to add more customization or if you don't know programming.

Surfingkeys require you to know javascript a bit add advanced customization. And, it requires some troubleshooting when your config goes wrong. It's like Vimium for power users.

I told ChatGPT to act as a novel-writing Unix command with a flag to provide text to emulate without affecting the ongoing story's narrative. And it totally worked!

I asked it to summarize the story so far afterwards and it excluded the few paragraphs of "training" text I gave it, but then used the sentence structure and words I included in the text in future novel parts.

"Training" has a precise meaning in this field, but perhaps it has different connotations with something like ChatGPT which can process the entire conversation.

This article is bad, actually. The analogy does not illuminate anything about software development. It's just a semi-interesting bit of scifi writing with a contrived connection to software development, but it doesn't contain any information or advice. If you enjoy the scifi scenario, fine, but it doesn't make any sense for it to be posted to Hacker News because it is not hacker news, it's a scifi story with a bad analogy tacked on the end.

Until Freeform works on Windows and Android, it’s not collaborative, it’s a walled garden.

Perhaps the solution is for Android to make a better app, and better apps in general, that will draw people away from the iOS ecosystem.

Competition is supposed to be good. So compete.

All I ever hear from the Android side is a lot of "walled garden" pearl clutching. Seldom any innovation, and evidently no innovation good enough to break the magical spell of Apple.

When Android does innovate, and Apple chooses to adopt a method, then it's all "embrace, extend, extinguish! It's Micro$oft all over again!" As if Android never gets sloppy seconds on features, or half-baked mimicry of Apple products and services.

It's this continuous whining and moaning that makes Apple, and Apple users, tune out the Android dev bros. They're just reactionary and it's easy to not take them seriously.

The bottom line is the same now as it's always been: Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.

Let's find some common sense here... This is one of those open ended laws that's designed to allow authorities to take action if a problem arises based on good judgement but most of the time you can ignore it it.

If you use "specialist equipment" to perform an auto repair inside your closed garage no one is going to know. But if you are constantly repairing cars in your garage, it's likely that will cause a nuisance and you will get cited.

This is just like a "no food or drink" ordinance on public transport - no one is going to enforce if you are sipping coffee from a travel mug or eating a candy but can enforce if you bring on a bag of McDonalds and leave it on the seats.

Fines would be part of the expenses that go into calculating net profit.

But a business like Wells Fargo with lots of physical locations and staff has a lot of fixed costs. Their operating profit is $80B, but net profit is $20B.

I have a few extensions, notably an update to subtle-brackets, which I cross-published.

I'd like to see a hard fork for VSCodium, where the community could make UX/DX upgrades that VSCode's Microsoft-employed gatekeepers have summarily shut down time and time again (see: issues on the find/replace dialogs)

That corporate strategy has failed them recently.

They had been doing mobile ever since the mostly fiction pen windows (which became windows CE a few years later) in 1992 but lost that battle so hard with things like Kin and Lumia they dropped out. And let's forget about Zune.

At one point they has 95% of the browser market but lost that so much that they completely abandoned their browser engine.

Despite all the money they've thrown at projects like Surface and Bing, they have failed to come anywhere near a dominant position. Even in gaming consoles, which has been fairly successful, they're still in 3rd place behind Sony and Nintendo after over 20 years.

I'm rejecting Kissinger's entire framework. This isn't a war between NATO (or the US) and Russia, so as much as we might want to end the war, we can't. The entire premise of his article presumes that the west can determine the outcome at all apart from tilting the scales one way or another.
> The heat captured is then dumped into the city's district water system

Uhm, no, that would mean people couldn't get cold water anymore.

The heat is distributed through pipes dedicated to heat distribution, separate from the water supply. The pipe network is called "Warmtenet Noordwest".

edit: perhaps they meant that the entity maintaining these pipes is the same as the one maintaining the water supply? Could have been phrased more clearly.

I’m trying to figure out my requirements. I really like the sound of Kawai, and if I decide I really want something portable I’ll probably go for an ES920.

But realistically, I probably won’t be carrying it around much at all, and if portability doesn’t matter I’d love to get a console piano with an excellent action like the Kawai CA99. I played that in a show room and was blown away. But it’s like 3x the price of the portable options.

The downside of Kawai is that they don’t work as USB audio interfaces, so you can’t use their built-in speakers to connect to a PC and play with VSTs. The Roland FP-90x reportedly has an excellent speaker system, and the Yamaha P-515 presumably has a respectable one as well. I haven’t been able to find either in a showroom yet, but that’s my plan for the new year.

Gateway is a remote IDE in the browser, it's a rewrite of their front-end (Spring I think?) to marshal the UI over HTTP.

Remote is similar to VSCode. The IDE is split into a front-end and a backend: the UI stuff happens locally, and does RPC to the backend for file access, terminal, language server, what-not.

Yes. Also whoever runs the server can read your DMs.

This is also true of big social networks however those companies usually have access controls that prevent employees from accessing private data. Some random mastodon server isn’t going to have that.
You described exactly why this law isn't necessary. Property rights already exist and can be enforced without infringing on another's.
Correct. The cases you’re citing are people who are taking Nintendo’s work and redistributing it. YouTube channels have been challenged when people include music from their games, which is copyright infringement. Mods to long extinct games are still distributions of Nintendo’s work, they are not original work. These are all examples of trying to use Nintendo’s IP and redistribute it without Nintendo’s permission. As much as we might not like it, and whether or not Nintendo is actively marketing it, what’s missing here is a valid argument for why people should be able to borrow Nintendo’s work.

BTW your example may be wading in to Trademark territory, which is not the same thing a copyright and doesn’t apply to this discussion.
It really depends on the shot and the show.

If you are relying on the farm to provide interactive rendering , the speed of the connection isn’t an issue. it’s not that much data to send over since studios sync the assets, so you’re usually only needing to sync attribute values and pixel data back and forth.

The issue is that you need dedicated cores for it on the farm.

When a show is going all out, those farms are saturated for usage. If a lighter asks for interactive use, they’re either waiting or you’re constantly having to reserve systems for them. That wait time is the latency I mean.

In which case why not just buy them the higher spec hardware?
The crypto market imploded last quarter, that is to be expected. Brian Armstrong and Coinbase have been in this through multiple cycles and know how it goes. Coinbase still has 5.4 billion in cash to make it through the tough times and make lots of money on the next crypto manic cycle. Based on previous cycles, the bottom is already in for crypto. Think of crypto bull runs like the holiday season for retail businesses. It’s where they make their money.
