It is worth comparing it to today with China [0]. The situation isn't so tense, these materials can be traded and if the US couldn't get them then they'd diligently start mining their own materials.

It wouldn't be surprising if major players were obscuring their activities in critical markets and while it might be militarily significant they are better defended by people not really being interested than the strength of their cover story.

I've been doing some work in this space (eticketing) and it's not as easy as you think. OK, 95% of the time it works, but that's not good enough and when you move into the "real world" - cracked screens, smudges, glare, dirty sensors it gets worse. The failure cases waste a huge amount of time.
Huh, is this what Nix users mean by “impure”?

If so, then it makes so much more sense to me now.

So, you seem dismissive of the reason for not attending your second conference, but in general people go to conference their employer will pay for them to attend, and if companies aren’t paying you will see a drop in attendance.

There are a few conferences I love, but I’m unlikely to use up holiday and pay my own registration fee and travel to attend them. If it’s on my own dime I’ll probably watch the talks on YouTube.

Edit: I should clarify that this about work related stuff. I’ll happily pay my own way for hobby related things, and have helped organise a few such things and volunteer to help at them. Even more strongly than work events those are affected by the economy. They depend on people have enough spare money and wanting to spend it on attending your event. If it’s a really good event they may scrimp and save money so they can go, but your event is a luxury they will cut if money is tight.
> Look into the history of Ukraine over last 20 years. Especially how the Ukrainian speaking part of Ukraine has treated the Russian speaking Ukrainians. It's not what you've been told to believe. Even the Guardian was running stories about how the Russian speaking Ukrainians were being treated back in 2014. And how the neo-Nazis exert control.

None of what has happened in Ukraine in the past 20 years justifies the invasion.

None of it justifies the Russians rape and torture of civilians.

None of it justifies the litany of war crimes including castrating PoWs and committing genocide.

So why are you trying so hard to justify it?.
The "break the whole ecosystem" bit is what bugs me the most. It is nearly impossible now to write a short script in Node.js these days when you have mixed dependencies of ESM & CommonJS. Every 100 line script now forces you to include a code bundler of some sort, just because the two will not work in the same script.
That syntax wouldn’t let you use await as an expression: f(await p) or (await p).x, etc
Funny how they claim the toolkit is responsive, but then their website isn't.

The "Used by" section overflows and basically breaks the whole website.
That is my bad. There is no implication for the index position as such. Whenever a file changes/updates, the prefix is matched with the procs object and if it matches, the respective processes restart.
Not much is monolithic about this tbh. It's just trying to hide the architecture implementation detail (monolith vs microservices) instead of exposing it like most existing frameworks.

IMHO the monolithic microservice (or distributed monolith) is when you don't have firm service boundaries - eg. services can read each other data if they want, sidestepping endpoints/handlers.

Actio avoids that mistake. Each service has its own database.

I suppose you could test your system including the Keycloak configuration to make sure things work as expected after a TF change. You probably want to be doing that anyway, though. It's a fairly comprehensive Terraform provider under active development, I recommend it.
Mixing in green and red is equivalent to brightening #0000FF with added white. Try #1AFFFF, for example, it's a magnificently bright light blue. You've not muddied it with brown as you would have by adding an equal amount of green paint and a tenth of red paint; RGB illumination color spaces don't work that way.
It's SO FRUSTRATING that these services put MFA behind hundreds of dollars worth of subscriptions. For example, Auth0 goes from $23/month for the "essentials" then jumps to $240/month if you want any sort of MFA.

TOTP codes / authenticator apps should be the least overhead so I'm not sure why they don't offer that at the lower tiers.
> reading through discussions of past bans it looks as if smaller admins banned it because of tiny vocal minorities that might as well be individually dealt with.

I’ve ceased looking at the local feed (instead of people I follow), because it always seemed to be defederation drama.

This mostly seemed to be “This other large instance has one person we don’t like and won’t impose _our_ moderation standards, so we are defederating”. Or, poor you if you wanted to follow Doctors Without Borders because a news organisation your instance doesn’t like joined it.

Running your own instance seems to be the only way to avoid this, but Mastodon doesn’t seem to be lightweight and I don’t know how sustainable it is for e.g. _everyone_ to do that.

Even if you use Typescript to build your .ts into .js, in a case of very small scripts in Node.js you now also cannot use new-er versions of your dependencies because one of the dependencies happened to move from CommonJS to ESM. Every short script you ever develop will require ALL of its dependencies be either one, or the other, or the third option - which is setup a hugely complex bundler system to somehow make sense of what to do with the different types of code by rewriting it.

I recall when deciding to get a private pilot license or a motorcycle that something like 50-60% of motorcycle deaths were not the cyclist's fault.

But that only 10% of the pilots were blameless.

If you're on a motorcycle you have to treat everyone and everything as out to get you, because they are.

Automatic Management to Save Time
Caritative actions are part of capitalism. I donate voluntarily to charities, this is part of capitalism. Capitalism doesn’t prevent people from having a soul.

Capitalism is the framework that makes all those people work together: The nun, the family guy, the corporate shark, the idealist who can buy land and create an inefficient community based on non-monetary exchange.

Capitalism also makes us globally quite rich (by virtue of allowing us to simply take the revenue we generate in our startups), which affords us the luxury of giving 63% to the state. Supposedly in exchange for the state taking care of poor people. It’s the capitalism that allows me that money.

So I get it, you pin everything bad on capitalism. It’s just that you allow CEOs to pactise with the state to remove freedoms from you. Meanwhile you forget that this unprecedented lifestyle improvement since the industrial revolution, it’s also due to capitalism.

I guess it depends on the def right? Graeber uses a very specific self-reported question:

Although you are required to do your job, you secretly believe it is pointless and should not need to be performed.

As I said, that shouldn't have been a problem (and it would have been a good time to talk about C++'s ABI). It's possible with C from C++ and there are actually other languages using even other compilers or interpreters or VMs that can use C++. And ignoring the problems when calling a C++ library compiled by another C++ compiler on Windows.

In part the reason that PHP8 (and it was 7 that had the quantum leap in perf) are now so fast is precisely because of Hack - it was easy to accept the status quo on performance until Hack showed there really was a lot of performance left on the table.

For me the biggest win was the changes they made to how arrays are stored in memory, I saw some systems drop by half in memory usage and had to change basically nothing - those kinds of wins are rare.
> The AAA game may cost me 4 times as much, but it gives me 400 times the value.

I... guess? If your only calculation of value is how much money was spent making the latest edition of a cookie cutter experience like 90% of AAA games are (because execs aren't willing to risk budget coloring outside the lines). And frankly I find that pretty sad, but looking at sales numbers I guess that's the majority of the gaming market.
> (University) Education sublely teaches us that the only important problems are those that are very difficult and preferably have never been solved before. Those same problems also make for better blogposts. In the real world the incentives are mostly opposite. Problems with no known solutions (or only really difficult solutions) are generally bad.

This is a great insight. One can add value to other people's lives by applying known solutions in relatively novel contexts (e.g. building a CRUD form at XYZ employer), whereas it's very hard to add value to other people's lives by trying to develop entirely novel solutions (because the probability of success is so low). Most of our training however, focuses on the methodology used to develop these novel solutions, rather than on the application of the solutions themselves.

Your corporate security crew are keenly aware that Oracle's licensing is just a wedge to help an army of lawyers invade your office. OpenJDK must be seen as guilty by association. There is no good reason to play around the legal nuclear pit that is maintained by Larry's minions.

As for jdk8 vs jdk11, backward compatibility was broken when J2EE javax.* classes were rightfully removed from the standard lib after Java 8. But Oracle (again) disallowed usage of the javax namespace in external libs and everybody now has to update to the poorly named jakarta replacement.
One could, but the author clearly didn't check that. The number of users seems pretty much related to the amount of activity. Not very surprising.

To verify, I've taken the top entry, lemmy.world, and looked at the 10 most recent posts, and they're within the last 10 minutes. One post per minute isn't awesome, but well. Then I took 10 of the 0 user instances, and lo and behold, one instance had one post, the rest zero. So the number of users does seem to predict activity (atm).

An UI framework in 2023 needs two things: one line animations and a gorgeous starter template.

The inconvenient truth is that there are way more good coders than there are good designers so coders need all the help they can get to sell their product and make good ux choices.

Any comments on how it compares on those fronts?
> A key-value-store (KVS), aka hashtable, is a database used for storing and retrieving data associated with a key. They are frequently used to cache data. Sometimes they run on the same machine as the client application. Sometimes they are accessed over the network. Software examples include Memcached and Redis.

Just to clarify there, many key value stores are not hash tables but btrees or LSM trees. One reason not to use hashtables is that you can't do efficient prefix scans since hashtables aren't sorted. Though it's possible redis and memcached do use a hashtable. Rocksdb/Leveldb, and pebble use LSM trees. Berkeleydb allows you to use a btree or hashtable.

This hit me at the worst time. I linked a friend a tutorial in a git repository hosted on Codeberg a few hours ago, only to find out that Codeberg is down.

I also wanted to try setting up a Forgejo instance in Docker, but it seems that the image is only hosted on a container registry operated by Codeberg, so those images are inaccessible, too. Tried checking if the images already existed on Docker Hub, but all there exists is a shim image redirecting the user to a currently non-functioning link.

Very unlucky day today.
I still have open issues on github for keycloak. One of them is for example, that you can use whitespaces for names, where keycloak can't actually accept whitespaces. So you find that out after you set the global name..

The upgrade path for keycloak is also similarly broken in my experience. Especially the total change in one of the recent versions broke a lot of things, which they are still fixing.

Super interesting video, thanks.

The drills they were doing in the beginning were fascinating. It seems like each person had a responsibility that only lasted a few seconds before running back to safety and letting the next person run up, so as to only potentially expose themselves to radiation for very brief amounts of time.

After seeing them struggle during the real thing, it seems like maybe they should have had more obstacles with those drills. Regardless, they did a pretty good job all thing considered.

Edit: I just got to the end of the video... Yeesh.
Self-dependence is more of a state-level concern. If the state values self-dependence they can subsidize and otherwise incentivise types of agriculture they prefer.

Outright prohibiting a crop obviously also serves that goal but it also weakens the states economy and could cause tensions if farmers lose profits.

It really depends on your audience. If you're building a developer tool, it's always features over benefits.
Because Windows UI is better than anything MacOS or Linux provides. And because everything just works (tm) when it comes to drivers. And hibernate, sleep etc are always there since I don't need to dual boot. And I don't have to deal with buggy Cinnamon scaling experience that just occasionally decides "maybe I won't render things correctly today or just crash the UI when Firefox is launched".

I've ran Windows as the host for my Linux VM for years because it always provided me nicer experience than the other way around. Not to mention games are of course native in that context also (and there's no issues with anticheats).

Windows just is the best desktop for Linux.

This maneuver can work, but I think in many scenarios drivers aren't looking up the road long enough to see it; drivers usually pull up to a junction and glance briefly in both directions, so there isn't enough time for the motorcyclist to start the maneuver and be spotted.

The best advice I've seen for maximizing visibility is 1) have two headlights instead of one, 2) be mindful of your lane position, riding a little closer to the center line will maximize visibility at junctions.

And of course, never rely on visibility to ride safe. Defensive riding is always the priority. You should see and prepare for the dangerous junctions long before a driver needs to see you approaching it.
