> Says who?

I'm writing my comment, so me, based on observations over time.

> That has very little to do with real microkernels.

It doesn't matter if it's "real" or not. My point was that any selling point a microkernel can come up with can be grafted into a monolithic one.

So one of the usual selling points of a microkernel is that you can run a filesystem in userspace and eg, can allow an user to mount a network drive. Well, no need to switch kernels just for that since they added FUSE to Linux.

As an user I don't care if it's pure, I care that the job gets done.

> Not at all. The "modern" approach you are describing is many decades old and single systems are still extremely common.

Modern compared to the very old idea of the microkernel, I mean. I can see that the idea had a lot of appeal back in the era of rare, room sized computers. Keeping a single machine going is far less important in modern times, where most serious uses try their best to treat any single machine as disposable.
I'll save a bunch of people some trouble. This is a politically-"leftist" site (top current thread is "How did you get into anarchism", along with something about ACAB). It's not really a general purpose Reddit alternative.

So, if that's your thing, check it out. If it's not, probably not a good fit and the "better approach" to moderation probably won't go in your favor.
You can set work_mem to limit per-process memory and max_parallel_workers_per_gather to limit the number of CPUs, although I don't think there is a general way to limit the CPU to less than 1 CPU. If you rewrite your query, you can add in pg_sleep calls to try to not hog an entire CPU. The buffer/page cache is shared, so it doesn't count towards worm_mem, so a query could replace a bunch of hot pages with cold pages, but in practice it will probably evict cold pages.

In my experience, if you have a very busy database, running a big query doesn't even show up on the load metrics, so it probably doesn't matter unless your database isn't very busy or it's nearly exceeded some capacity threshold.
> Expect content blockers to become way less effective in the coming years

That's s very sad and probably very accurate analysis!

Wonder if the arms-race will give rise to other kinds of add blockers that use image recognition to identify ads.
But that still requires rendering the ads (even if only in the background), removing much of the benefit of ad-blockers.
As far as I remember it, Cloudflare was one of the first services to offer TLS on their free tier which bought an incredible amount of good will.

Between Cloudflare and LetsEncrypt I’ve never had to pay for an SSL certificate again.

Of courss, the easy to use interface was also welcome. Using their CDN for small scale or hobby projects is total overkill though.
> oddly fixated on games

Well, the reason I bought a number of headsets was for developing productivity applications. I just found that it was a bit of a deadend and that the only meaningful value was in existing 3d experiences (games, modelling, visualisation). I couldn't find the value in spatialising 2d productivity experiences. Hence the heuristic, if there was any value, we would already be wasd-ing our way around a 3d view in our 2d tools. There have always been a stream of 3d experiments like debuggers or knowledgement management tools but they just don't offer value compared to 2d text-oriented experiences.

Some of the talk about Spatial, feels like a pendullum swing back to Hacker's "Gibson" or Jurrasic Park's "Unix, I know this" 3d interfaces that were assumptions of what would be useful in 3D, and we have made real versions of these, but they just suck. Classic case of imagination / reality mismatch that often comes with tech.

> allowing developers to progressively adopt the entire gamut

That is just the "how", not the "why".
> Public: these would be democratically run forums. The users would actually be able to vote for moderators, and perhaps even rules around them. This would be ideal for things like r/[country] or r/[city].

This is my biggest gripe about Reddit. Unlike hobbies or interests, I can't change my country of birth or (easily change) the city. So when you get banned from a geographical sub, you have no alternative. Some of the moderators have a specific bent of mind, and do not accept any other views. A typical example is /r/india which is totally under the control of radical anti-Modi mods. I got even banned from there for posting in another sub _that had been recommended to me by Reddit's algorithm_ !
> We hypothesized the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DH) oil spill would cause an increase in populations of Vibrio parahaemolyticus carrying environmental adaptation genes. ... These results indicate the effects of the DH oil spill on potentially pathogenic Vp subpopulations were complex and difficult to discern from other concurrent anthropogenic and natural events.

Seems almost the opposite of what you wrote.

Enabling and endorsement are two different things, no need to conflate the two. If I'm a dentist and tell my patient that they could use any toothpaste they want but that I don't recommend the specific brand that they use, how is that an endorsement in any way? I'm allowing them the choice without endorsing in this case.

IMO, the cool stuff was things like somebody coming with a question like "oh, what is the best way to add a filament spooler on a Prussa i3?" and an endless discussion of the current possibilities with pros and cons appearing on the comments.

Today, the closest you could ever get is somebody posting a picture of the support they made for their spooler, and people talking about this one design. What is much worse.
Agreed. I dislike all of the colorful cutesy stuff Google does to humanize their awfulness.
I never found anything about US hotel laws to be ineffective. I have been aware of the horrors that can meet with travelers in unregulated housing, and whether I visit a Motel 6, Best Western, or Hilton, I can be assured that the unit will be safe, secure, and sanitary to some minimum standard, and that all charges and fees will be above board.

I am a person who still rides taxis because I believe that these "disruptive" app-based services are a blight and a curse for the consumer market. I wouldn't dare risk life and limb to stay in an AirBNB across town, much less on another continent. I am grateful for the extensive regulation of these industries, and I invite regulators to bring the startups toward equity in all aspects.
A bit of an oversimplification and slightly wrong, but the problem is essentially that it is a Bad Spaniels brand dog toy, parodying the sound-a-like Jack Daniels brand whiskey.

There exists the Rogers Test in trademark law that says that, for an /artistic work/, all a defendant has to do is show that a) the trademark is relevant to the artistic work, and b) the title is not explicitly misleading (to make the audience think the work is created/supported by the trademark holder).

The Rogers Test, reserved for artistic work, is gentler than normal trademark defense. Bad Spaniels chew toy passed this test easily.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that, because the chew toy is released by the Bad Spaniels /brand/, the Rogers /artistic work/ analysis is not appropriate.

Instead, it should be litigated as a brand vs. brand trademark dispute.

In a brand vs. brand dispute, Jack Daniels will have to instead prove that the Bad Spaniels brand is likely to cause confusion with regards to Jack Daniels brand's involvement in the product.

This is a higher bar to clear than Rogers test, because the trademark doesn't have to be explicitly confusing; it just needs to be likely.

I'm not a lawyer or a judge, but I don't think Jack Daniels will prevail even with the stricter standard.

(IMO,) this ruling is barely going to matter in the long run: if the Bad Spaniels chew bottle was sold by Bob's Novelties and did not included the word "brand" after "Bad Spaniels", then the Rogers test would still apply.

I think a lot of the negative reactions to this paper are because people don't trust corporations and academics to determine what is hateful and what is not. And why should they? It's not that anyone thinks there are no hate groups or that the tactics outlined in the paper don't work, but that such tactics are likely to be abused by people in power to silence ideological opponents.
> I wouldn't call patching a binary very easy

it's even easier than that as all apps (except native ones) will be using the java TrustManager interface

> Also, it takes more than one byte if the binary is obfuscated

but they can't hide the calls into TrustManager

a small utility could automatically take in the APK, patch out the calls and return the fixed APK for you

(would probably work for 99% of apps out of the box)
This seems like typical victim of populists marketing. No meter what populists have done, trying to shift the focus with "everybody is against me" and some people will eat it.
For this to make sense it would have to be that labour would be one important factor in the cost of pizza

And that somehow making 10 pizzas instead of one would mean people would consume 10x more pizza

I think the parent comment is suggesting that "engineering talent on par with the USA" == "elite engineering talent". In my anecdotal evidence, I'd estimate that ~1/3 of my Canadian engineering graduating class are now in the US, either working or researching at US institutions, with most of these folks representing the top 1/3 of the class.
"Tankies" is a perjorative for hardline communists, particularly Stalinists.
I'm going to be self-serving and mention https://qbix.com/blog/2021/01/15/open-source-communities/

Using the Qbix platform you can assemble your own reddit, and then invite people to it, in a matter of hours.

It's free and open source, and runs on PHP. Any commodity host that runs Wordpress should be able to run it, but if you want you can use Node.js

It also integrates with Discourse, if you want to have a robust forum software that is also actively developed by a sister team.

PS: If you do play around and install it, you should apply to https://qbix.com/ecosystem so you can be a host. Qbix is going to eventually join the fediverse but right now it's more about being a viable decentralized replacement for Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.
So measure the risk probability and show it to me?

There are multiple ways to shred. When you get drives from the bank, they have a semi down in the parking lot doing it on site. Other companies tag each device then document each one getting tossed in the shredder. If one of these devices shows back up after destruction then there is going to be some legal hell to pay.

It's nearly impossible to tell if a disk has been erased by looking at it from the outside. But a shredded device, well that's easy enough.

I wouldn't say it's a centralised point of failure. Many individual sites choose to use it, so it is used by big parts of the internet, but that doesn't make it centralised. Maybe a single point of failure.

I have been burned by Fediverse so badly I will never go back.

I joined a Mastodon instance with 3k+ other users and made several hundred posts.. until one day when login failed. Turns out the admin lied about a lot of things (like backups) and an unpaid bill wiped the machine.

Migrations are not possible when original server is offline, so I lost many months of content.

Running an instance by myself is no fun, community is the point. I see no obvious solution but wont personally ever touch another ActivityPub based social media.

AirBnb kitchens are the worst. The only real benefit to an abnb over a hotel is having a kitchen, but they are mostly useless. I've never been in one with decent knives. Typically they have cheap non-stick pots and pans that are badly scratched leaving you the option of eating PFAS or ordering in. One time I had to run around town looking for a can opener so I could feed a very hungry dog. Other times I've had to open cans with a knife -- which I guess explains why the knives are so bad.

Don't get me started about internet quality (poor to variable at best). Or how difficult it is to find a decent work area (hosts seem to put beds EVERYWHERE. I presume they think that upping the number of people who can sleep there justifies higher rents? A desk and chair would go a long way).

And every review is 5 stars, so completely useless. Unless you have the time to read every word carefully looking for a hint of something not working, there is no working reputation system at all.
A directory of best communities on the internet sorted and nested by topic would be great. A web directory 3.0. Whether they are on Reddit, mastodon, phpbb, discord.
Reddit does another thing that is very important to me: 3. Content Rehosting

You see this on subreddits such as /r/IdiotsInCars and /r/Earthporn.

The former allows the user to upload videos while the latter is for images. This helps the user have a more pleasant experience because it reduces/eliminates

- popup fatigue (worldstar, local news sites, etc.),
- back button hijacking (CNN, local news sites, etc.), and
- walled gardens (NYT, Newyorker, WSJ, etc.).

I think reddit could encourage their users to attribute (some if not most would) by adding an optional source (sauce) link field to post forms. Might be nice to have a way the OP/mod could approve a crowd-sourced source edit.
This reminds me of the Scott and Mark Kelly experiment. Scott went up to the ISS for an extreme duration mission (1 year), while his twin brother Mark, also an astronaut, stayed on earth. We are able to see what genetic changes have occured due to the stay in space. I wonder what papers have come out studying that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

> Tankie is a pejorative label for communists, particularly Stalinists, who support the authoritarian tendencies of Marxism–Leninism or, more generally, authoritarian states associated with Marxism–Leninism in history. The term was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

---

It's been expanded to include those who support other authoritarian left political philosophies. It tends to be anti American. A quick rule of thumb is "if you picture the parades in the country featuring a large number of tanks, those who support them are likely pejoratively called 'tankies'".
> Hebrews don't.

Hence "essentially all" and not "all".

Jehovah's Witnesses do, are they a hate group? Environmentalists? Libertarians? Socialist organizations?

There are environmentalists who seriously hate people who drive cars. Like call them murderers and want them to suffer.

But also, what is a group? Are feminists a group? If there exist self-described feminists who expressly advocate the killing of men, do we then take some action against anyone else who calls themselves a feminist or argues in favor of other feminist positions?
Reddit is complete garbage, also influenced by GOV.... just as much as FB if not more. I stopped using when I got banned for politely asking the medical community about why my ears were (and still are) ringing from the J&J shot.
They're only too hot and inefficient when run at 5+ ghz. You'll see those same P cores perform very admirably in terms of efficiency when they are run in their peak efficiency zone, like in server and mobile chips.

This is what I don't understand, the capital cost of a machine to replace humans only works if the productivity multiplier > amortized capital cost / annual labor cost. However there must be a limit to the multiplier due to market constraints...what if you can produce 10x pizzas but the demand isnt there. I have come to learn that individually start ups are just experiments and they only make it sense as a collective asset class.

> Buying a home? Give me a break. I love to share the Zillow home price index graph to visually show people how Covid has screwed the housing market [1]. And at least before we had the option to move far from the city to a cheaper location and work remotely, but now employers are forcing us to go back to the office, so the choice is between unaffordable rent or multi-hour daily commutes (I’m in the second camp).

For reference, I purchased a home and I believe it to have been a huge mistake. I'll be looking to sell it basically at-cost in about a year or so. The homebuying gold rush made a lot of people, including me, buy houses because they thought it was their chance, only to then realize that many houses were deceptively priced/kinda shitty. I think your feelings around commuting are valid, and I don't mean to diminish the desire to own a home, I'm just trying to be a voice of "it's not always better". I didn't really have anybody in my life when I bought, saying that type of thing, so I'm trying to advocate for homebuying-realism when I can.

> I know this comment sounds whiny but I can’t help to feel that we are just getting dealt a shit sandwich after another. We might be in a world of extravagant productivity but I’m sure as hell not reaping the benefits.

I feel this big time too. I make pretty far above my city's "upper tier" of income for tech workers and still generally feel strapped. I have gotten a handful of bad beats in a row.
For more context on how big a deal this is, the A220 is quite widely seen as the future of short-haul aviation. Airlines are moving towards a point-to-point model instead of hub & spoke (especially in Europe), using smaller planes with lower capacity, but flying more frequently, together with best in class fuel efficiency (with the price of jet fuel only really going to go in one direction in the next decades) means the 220 is very, very popular. Airbus is expecting to sell 7,000 of them in the next 20 years. That's coming close to the incredibly successful A320 family (including A318, A319, A320 and A321 models) which has sold just over 10,000 planes since 1986.

But IMO Swift started white-collar, too, with its reference-counting, abort-on-integer-overflow, copy-on-write collections, characters whose size in bytes isn’t fixed, no (or limited, being GCD-only? I don’t remember exactly) multithreading, etc.

Yes, it was presented as being a systems language, too, but that convinced very few (and still doesn’t convince many, I think. The language is moving there, but it will be a while before it gets there, if ever)

So, why claim Swift more than repeated “Objective-C's mistake of using the component language as the base”?
