That's interesting. Do you have a public source for this handy?

I remember seeing an article [1] proclaiming that more than 50% of Azure's workloads are on Linux, so I'm guessing their hypervisors are running an optimised Linux kernel somewhat.

Yes, I came for a critique of the Hayes AT commands.
it is my interpretation as well that most bit-errors occur in places that simply don't matter or are handled in userspace error-detection/correction (tcp-checksums, asset-checksums, encryption, etc)

Jobs made it clear in the 1997 WWDC speech[1] that Apple's priority is never the developers, but solely the customer experience and the final product, and if programing languages, frameworks or developers will be casualties along the way, then so be it. His words, not mine.

They observed the majority of dimms had no errors.
They had ecc ram so it's possible for a dimm that is going bad to carry on in service regularly producing correctable errors.

I’m curious about this. So email that I’ve sent, let’s say from a gmail account to an iCloud account, isn’t guaranteed to be verifiable years later because of dkim key rotation?

That’s not great. I wonder if the receiver could append a signed message upon receipt with something like “the sender’s identity was valid upon receipt”.

Any RAM-caused bit flip that happens e.g. before the TCP checksum is as likely to happen after the TCP checksum, it's using about the same memory either way.
We are probably creating something that looks like our intelligence but it works in a different way.

An example: we are not very good at creating flight, the one birds do and humans always regarded as flight, and yet we fly across half the globe in one day.

Going up three meters and landing on a branch is a different matter.
Low-wage industries wouldn't necessarily be a problem of the currency's purchasing power was rising rather than falling. But in most "developed" economies, we're institutional used theft via central banks targeting inflation, rather than recognizing that technological advancements ought to bring about gradual price deflation.

We've accepted for far too long the lie that low inflation (i.e. theft at a slow enough rate that working people hopefully won't notice) is necessary for economic growth. That's not true, but it introduces all sorts of systemic injustice into our economic systems.

Often writing for yourself (“how I did x when I didn’t know how”) is useful enough without being an expert on the subject. You can refer back to it later on if you forgot how you did it, or someone else who was in your shoes will appreciate it.

> Haptic interactions in general always felt like the weak point in VR applications

It's a big weakness of proposed VR applications for training, e.g. for any manual skill where lifting and manipulating (heavy) objects is important, or different materials have very different mechanical properties. E.g. training paramedics where moving patients is important and where skin, fat, bone, muscle, etc have different 'feels'.
No! Creating more money doesn't create wealth. We need to cap the money supply, let working people save in money that isn't being stolen from them by design (central banks target rates of inflation), and trust that with the deflationary effects of technology, peoples' savings will gradually increase in purchasing power.
That might be true - but how else can it work? The data has to get onto the server somehow, and the days of unsigned or unencrypted data ended with Snowden.

The OP was going on about storing all the data on-device and uploading it, but regardless of where it’s stored, if a bunch of people have to move, the thundering herd problem, so to speak, will still exist.

Also, signature verification is not slow. I don’t know what AT uses or how good this source from 2020 is [0] nor what machine it ran on, but ed25519 verification takes about 50us for a 32 byte signature verification. That suggests this guys 50k posts will be validated in 2.5s. If we assume just a single server then that’s about 34k users per day. Or put another way, 30 servers to onboard one million people in a day. None of this seems outrageous to me.

No, it uses librespot which is a open re-implementation of libspotify, which was Spotify's old, but now pulled, SDK. The risk however is that when Spotify thinks it's no longer worth supporting older harder devices that rely on the original libspotify, they'll pull the endpoints and remove functionality (already happened to search, for example, but they could use the newer APIs for that - it's going to be hard when they do it with playback, as the new APIs require DRM).
Naming the new federated protocol AT / @ is a bad idea.
I’m very excited for this release!
Congrats to everyone that worked so hard on this and the language in general!
Looks like it solves a common problem but the page is a bit confusing. It could make it clearer upfront what it does (I didn't know what reactive meant in this context) and how it relates to Jupyter (I thought it was official/core stuff at first, but I take it its a third party tool that integrates into jupyter).

Stuff like "Trust me? Good." in the introduction doesn't really help me answer "wtf does this do" more quickly and the first intro sentence is pretty long and convoluted.

An open secret is something which is widely known to be true amongst people, but which is denied officially, for that very reason, providing sources is more usually than not possible for an open secret.

I have no idea if an open secret is like the open mystery of Ephesians 3:9,10.
I never understood why you need tracking, so long as the object you're shooting remains within the usable field of view (more noise towards the edges, at least on my phone) of the camera sensor. Why not apply the tracking afterwards in software? A lot easier to write code once that moves pixels around than to produce hardware that moves accurately in imperceptibly small steps for everyone who wants to do this. I assume there's a good reason why that doesn't work, do you know it?
They have a very good price-to-value ratio, especially when you account for their high resale value, so that's not really a good reason to avoid apple.

one important difference is:

> expected

Because the URI is only _expected_ to be immutable, not required, servers consuming these objects need to consider the case where the expectation is broken.

For example, imagine the serving host has a bug and returns the wrong content for a URI. At scale this is guaranteed to happen. Because it can happen, downstream servers need to consider this case and build infrastructure to periodically revalidate content. This then propagates into the entire system. For example, any caching layer also needs to be aware that the content isn't actually immutable.

With content hashes such a thing is just impossible. The data self-validates. If the hash matches, the data is valid, and it doesn't matter where you got it from. Data can be trivially propagated through the network.
Yes, this is a brutally poor choice of name. The AT command set is not only well known to virtually every computer person on the planet and has been for 40+ years, it is also not even obsolete but in constant use everywhere on the planet. Just... please change the name of whatever this is.

Poor people have cars that old, usually, there's a reason they're called "beaters".

People in general try not to have cars older than around 7 years if they can, that's the "public wisdom" regarding when cars start having bigger maintenance problems.

Edit:

There you go, data: https://hedgescompany.com/blog/2022/02/how-old-are-cars/

Only 24% older than 18 years. 30 years old puts you at 5% and 35 years old at 1%.

I'm not sure how you can say that an owner-operated family farm is socialist. The family owns the capital in the farm, and profits from its use. That's pretty capitalistic.

What seems far more socialist is the crony capitalism of large agro-business that prices small, family-owned capitalist farmers out of the market by taking taxpayer-funded federal subsidies and using them to capture regulators and buy out their competition.

How to Avoid Kubernetes Misconfigurations
Just my personal view: reluctancy to have children is also not a problem but rather a symptome, at least in the so-called developed world. The root cause is not having a positive idea of the future leading to reluctancy to work for a better future worth inabiting for future generations.

It's a nice bit of marketing for Bluesky: in the process of reading the discussion I went from "it's some vague cryptosocial thing" to "well, it does solve things and actually might be worth a look".
I actually thought about this a lot until I visited Singapore/Hong Kong. Just put the bowl to your mouth and drink the soup while shoveling the noodles - at first I thought I just saw some hurried people, but at least in food stalls and low key restaurants everyone was doing it. It's also much quicker and you don't really need a lot of chopstick ability...
Wikipedia Tells UK Government It Won’t Comply with Age Verification Mandates
Everyone learns things in a different order and in different ways, so an alternative explanation or source of information can still be valuable. Sometimes I have an important realization simply because something I'd already known for years was presented from a different angle, or maybe just because I rediscovered it in a more fitting moment of my life.

And if someone doesn't find it useful, well, they'll just stop reading and go somewhere else.
I'm still positive about Bluesky, but the company hasn't yet proven itself like many non-profits. You could clear a lot of misconceptions by having multiple demonstrations of the protocol:

If I don't want to use BGS, how can I access the PDSs of the people I follow, and get e.g. 10 latest entries for each:

Starting from a handle, let's say @pfrazee.com, how do I fetch using CURL your content without the BGS?

Of course, there are also other issues regarding monetization, and if BGS becomes the de facto way to get content, then some PDSs might become locked to your official BGS.

I hope you are willing to contribute with known non-profits such as Mozilla to do a wider consortium of players for BGS space, which is mostly inaccessible for self-hosters.
It's also kind of sad , for all of human history we never had this wonder material like plastic , light , strong , moldable , cheap and very importantly resistant to chemicals , pests and microbial destruction and in the few decades that we have had it we are scrambling to look for bacteria that will digest them because we over did it .
I like it quite a lot for gaming as it's much more immersive than PC gaming (I don't have any other gaming console). I play both wire-free on Oculus Quest 2 itself, or (still wire-free) from a Windows VM with a RTX3070 pcie passthrough (so I can dynamically switch between ML and gaming usage).

Immersive-ness doesn't only come from just the screen, but also from the fact that you can't multi-task (one could say this is a sad state of my attention).

I play various kind of games. My main usage is "sport", with synthriders and beat saber. I love story telling/puzzle games, though they are quite costly (like 30€ for 4 hours of game play) so that doesn't account for a lot of play time. But I also like a small Cities Skyline (Cities: VR by the people from Cities Skyline), Deisim where you play a god, and Derail Valley, where you drive a train in a miniature world.

As a software engineer I have tried using it for other stuff than gaming, but even though it feels cool, I never found it actually useful. I can keep the headset 4 hours (and probably the whole day) without any issue (assuming no frame drop, which do happen when running from Windows, not in the Quest environment), so that's not the issue. Maybe with a better display resolution it could be better, but honestly I doubt it.

Just a word on the metaverse: I do think it can be pretty cool for socializing (Ready Player One is IMO not that far-fetched), though Meta's universe development still looks extremely primitive compared to everything else that exists. At this point, I think that a Meta Quest 3 with face emotion detection (and improved SoC and display compared to Quest 2), and let competing companies provide a good environment based on that hardware+OS (for instance Rec Room) would be pretty good, but I doubt that could follow Meta's bottom line.
I can and will complain. Youtube ads are bad in two ways:
1) they have these ads that pop-over and hide the content
2) there ad breaks are cut into content at in-opportune moments. At least on TV, the content is designed around the ad breaks

Collectively, those two things make the ads on YouTube infuriating. It's then made worse by the ramp up in the volume of ads. Either work with content creators on when ads are displayed to make the content and ad experience better (a la tv) or come up with a different method. And for the love go god, git rid of those stupid ads that pop over the content.
Except that the walrus operator “:=” is an assignment expression, whereas in Pascal it is an assignment statement, like “=” in many languages. In Pascal, the boolean comparison operator is “=” instead of “==” (in the same many languages).

And there is C where the assignment expression is just “=”, there is no assignment statement, and many forgotten double equals led to bugs …
Age verification to access knowledge?

It's interesting that there's potentially a bit of a pattern forming with the stars we've observed, with an outer belt being around 10x the diameter of an inner belt.

Though out of fashion, the various power laws of Bragg, Richardson, Armellini building on the Titius–Bode rule come to mind, namely that there may be physical reasons to see orbital patterns emerge consistent with some sort of power law.

WUBI wasn't the same at all.

WUBI makes a single big file and formats it with a Linux filesystem.

`umsdos` kept Linux files as DOS files directly in the FAT16 filesystem, with a hidden file in each directory containing additional Linux metadata. No Linux filesystem anywhere.

You could even run a DOS defragger and your Linux would survive. :-)

I used a distro called Pygmy Linux that worked this way.
