Hardly niche.
> Over 2bn people speak English, Spanish or French. That's somewhat significant. You're going to tell those 2bn people they can't have nice things because there are other people that wouldn't get them?

If the cost of the nice thing (which I, as one of the 2bn don't even consider nice) has to be paid by the other 6bn people as well, sure.

> As I said before, I still don't think it is a good idea, but that's because of other reasons (basically it introduces more confusing behaviour than it removes); NOT because it can only work for a subset of people.

This is my main reason for being hesitant to the whole thing as well. The post linked above just happened to broaden my view on the problem a bit.
This makes zero sense. The backend and many components are AGPL or GPL licensed. You want ActivityPub, go implement it yourself.

The main use case is hosting your own instance for your group of friends/etc, which seems pretty decentralized to me.
Could it be that in the surveys which measure happiness , more social people are more likely to say they're happy? Because they talk to their peers about their lives and are more likely to present more presentable aspects of their lives.

With people with less social contact, maybe they don't reorganize their memories with respect to social visibility and just by intensity or time spent in that experience.

There is a theory that I'd like to believe that everyone is equally happy over a period of time after basic necessities of life are satisfied.
(Not joking) Eventually no actors or actions will be outside of the data collection environment that feeds into the global knowledge graphs.

And yes I agree and expect that non human systems will adjust human preferences over the long run. That’s the point right? A caretaker assistant that is smarter, more capable and can better predict your needs than anything ever
I wonder if it relates to depression and suicidality. Often people who died from that seemed pretty social. Maybe they were suffering excessively from loneliness in other people's company, with a smile on their faces and would be better off if they were left alone for a prolonged while instead?

Lie down, throw on my noise cancelling headphones, set a timer and put on a podcast about ancient civs. Perfect everytime.
I was terribly shy very depressed for most of my life since childhood. I've come a long way since then but I started going to EDM shows alone in my home city in my mid-30s recently and damn has it shifted my perspective on going out alone, talking to strangers. I've made so many new diverse friends and it's really helped my own struggles with loneliness. It has been overall been positively transformative to me.
> I really don't want to join another Discord server.

Why? There are ways to keep the noise down, and there are plenty of good ones.
Probably the same reason why only newer than 8000 series Intel CPUs are officially supported for Windows 11.

It's the "easiest" way to ensure TPM 2.0 compatibility, at a CPU family level of granularity. (Yes, there are 7000 series with TPM 2.0 support, but I believe that may have been the exception to the rule)

Edit: I took a look at the certified list and noticed that I indeed, cannot read.
I picked 10 affected sites at random, and Chrome correctly rejected every one with ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED.

If Chrome isn't validating SCT signatures, that's a serious bug that would enable bypass of CT enforcement, so I'm sure the Chrome team would want to hear more about what you've seen.
> what instance do I join?

Unless you want to interact with some specific people - it doesn't really matter that much. Sure, you'll miss some posts, but did you actually read every single one of them before? I'm honestly enjoying the quieter mastodon experience with some reactions not being fully replicated. It's nice to slow down and not experience a constant firehose. If something's really important in your community, it will get duplicated in a way you see it.
Seems like similar API/usecase as Temporal. Do I get it right that your system is similar but easier to use as it's basically exposes similar functionality via HTTP and higher-level API?

Do I get it right that difference between this and for example ActiveJob in Rails is that you handle well multi step workflows where there's a need to coordinate and wait for some event/thing to finish (or just sleep).
And benefit is that it it's easy to read whole flow as it's async function?
Everyone saw that coming a mile away. Now prepare yourselves for an imminent announcement by Lucid sometime in the next two years.
I think those are two independent actions. They would probably delete their reddit data regardless of Lemmy working out or not.
Discord has lower API limits and zero "3rd party apps" so the fact that it's the recommended darling child of people fleeing reddit because of "low API limits" and "them taking away 3rd party apps" makes zero sense.

The "Lemmy" thing is even worse; a complete mess. For example, /r/aww has two different links, with different content, etc. And yes, I understand how the "fediverse" works, it just makes no sense in the context that most consumers want their media in.
It's semantics, but I think it's useful to reserve the name "Linux" for devices that are the unrestricted version of the OS, otherwise the name starts to become as generic as the term "smart".
The same can be said about Reddit. I’m not subscribed to any of the big subreddits there. I use it for niche communities. To me, that’s the whole point!

Lemmy’s having some growing pains right now (spinning wheel of death) but I’m confident they’ll be resolved. At that point, it’ll be much nicer to use, so I’m pretty happy with that.

As for people hoping to one day “jump over,” I think that’s a mistake with almost anything. Dip your toe in, don’t go “all in” on anything you’ve never used before. You’re much less likely to end up extremely disappointed that way.
Personally I really reject the notion that an area of knowledge is strictly reserved only to those who are "officially", if you will, acknowledged as experts. On the one hand, there are many, many studies and bodies of research and so on once accepted that later have been proven wrong and even deceitful in purpose, so there go your "experts".
And in the other hand there are countless examples of people sharing knowledge on topics they are "not experts" in. These are maybe more difficult to document, for obvious reasons, but at least at a personal level I've had enough of them to become keen on listening to personal anecdotes and "the wisdom of the village elders" if you get my meaning.
> (meaning although they're public Reddit can't show ads)

Slight correction: they can't show targeted ads
The results are actually really really bad.

From the article:

> Nevertheless, less than 4% of new songs will become hits

So 96% of songs are not-hits. If the model predicts that no song will be a hit, then its accuracy is already 96%.
This site seems a bit dodgy, it’s telling people that Reddit’s 3D printing community has “relocated” to some random Lemmy site that seems dead other than one person just filling it with posts simply titled “balls”.
Absolutely true. Without agriculture, there would be plenty of water for residential uses. Of course without agriculture we'd all starve to death, so banning farming is no solution.

But one thing we can and should do immediately is stop (effectively) exporting huge amounts of water from Arizona to Saudi Arabia for free. That's very low-hanging fruit.

A bit off topic, but why does it seem like not a single page on this site uses caching of any sort?

Every time it’s brought up and I click into it I’m met with minute(s) long loading screens. Surely they aren’t pulling all of these stats from every node every single page load right?
Looks great! Working on something similar, but couldn't go through the nuances of managing every gnarly inputs. What do you think of a PR for <section> stacking any children as equal width columns.
> If they had a method to keep 382 bar of water dynamically out of the ballast tanks

By filling the ballast tanks with 382 bar of air.

The human-interior of the sub is maintained at 1 bar to avoid compression demands (hyperoxic seizure triggers at approx 7.6 bar when breathing atmospheric gases; HPNS (High Pressure Nervous Syndrome) is common after 16 bar on a helium-oxygen mix), and decompression requirements.

Equalizing the inside-outside pressures would help a lot with the composite materials, and somewhat less so with the fleshy meat bags inside.
So it’s your perspective that the current limits will continue to be limits in some sense? Why wouldn’t that tail eventually get consumed?
Growing food at a scale large enough to feed hundreds of millions of people, and cheaply enough to lift millions out of malnutrition, being “wasteful” is certainly a take.
This is my take. I have one test suite that should be able to run upon file-save and be completed in about 5 seconds. Then another suite that takes about 20 minutes that I can run in CI or locally. I suppose unit vs integration, but I don't worry about conforming to those definitions too strongly. Basically tests in the first suite should be fast and able to run in parallel. If they touch the file system or talk to a local db that's fine as long as it's fast and safe in parallel. The second suite can do whatever.
We used AOpen Chromeboxes for a while, but they stopped getting updates after several years. That part is somewhat understandable, but given that they were full ChromeOS devices, it was less than ideal. Ended up replacing them with Brightsign (which I believe is just Roku for signage) boxes and the campus started subscribing to Appspace for hosting content. It's been...ok.
Looks like it’s down? Or very slow perhaps?
> if the above function returned a database connection to the Nodejs main loop, which stuffed it into a pool array of connections, wouldn't that still remain in scope for the remainder of the program unless it were explicitly deleted?

No, since these are block-scoped the original variable goes out of scope when the block it was declared in ends. The underlying _value_ that the variable is a reference to certainly can escape the block in a number of ways (assignments to existing variables or properties, closures), but this system doesn’t care about any of that, it’s directly equivalent to using try and finally, and finally blocks execute when you would expect them to.
About 18 months ago, my boss gave me a spectacular espresso machine as an end-of-year gift. It is extravagant and delightful.

If you have access to espresso -- and like it, which helps! -- then you may find that the midday "espresso catnap" works as well for you as it does for me.

1. Brew and consume an espresso.
2. Immediately lie down. Do whatever else helps you switch off for a nap -- white noise, headphones, eye mask, whatever.

I don't even set an alarm. I'll be awake and alert in 20-30 minutes, feeling significantly refreshed. It's like magic. Obviously bodies are different and there are lots of reasons this might not work for you, but it's apparently a fairly common midday-nap approach.
The author is following examples given in a book, however.
too much money, too many customers.. what you can do in your backyard physics demo is not the same as what you can do at scale in real time with millions of customers. Proof? California "de-regulation" + ENRON => stable system changes to first-time-ever failing system
Regardless the 97% figure, even their basic linear model gets 67% correct based on neurophysiology, whereas based on surveys it would be 50% (since self reported liking has no relationship with hit status). So it’s intriguing that your brain can perceive things about the song but not tell your conscious self that they make it good? Or maybe there are just markers hit songs have that aren’t related to liking them.
What are your thoughts? How do you like it as a language?
Describe a way in which the Linux implementation of ChromeOS is “restricted”.
Yep, I'm not even a big music person, but Spotify is terrible at predicting music for me, it's so bad I barely try new music because most of it is trash but then again Spotify thinks I like 350+ genres so there is a lot of room for failure.

There are also two kinds of people, people who like albums and people who like singles. I'm not an album person because it's often lackluster and repetitive, few bands can really create good albums that surprise me but singles on the other hand can shine and the band knows they can. Just because I like one song doesn't mean I'll like 5 other songs from a band. Most of my favorite music is pretty unknown. I'd imagine hits are just like that hit or miss and good marketing is what really helps a lot of things sell.

I'm sure Reddit is prepared for a small contraction in their active userbase while also seeing a significant increase in monetizability of the remaining users.
I'm actually not sure, to be honest. The post explicitly doesn't touch on the implementation of murmur3, and part of the reason is that while I can see what it's doing, I have no idea why it's doing it.

The initial announcement of murmur (https://tanjent.livejournal.com/756623.html) makes it seem like it's trial and error.
When I was choosing a new TV I was a bit concerned about brightness. 2000 nits is so much better (on paper) than 400 nits. But I wasn't planning on putting my TV outdoors and got a C2.

My current brightness settings are at 30% when watching TV at night. "Bright room" settings bumps pixel brightness to 45%, which is good enough for a room with windows on 3 out of 4 walls. It is much brighter then a 10 year old LCD it replaced. And I had no problem using that old one until I put two screens side by side.
“Social species” is a generalisation. As such, it’s not a good argument against a more particular statement. (Different species aren’t born with an axiom of solitary/social which would then produce more particular consequences, but particular behaviours are imperfectly generalised into a taxonomy. The specific here has a higher weight than the general.)

What I see in online discussions is people repeating this mantra, because it agrees with their own inner experience. But it’s unnecessary to force this onto others that this doesn’t resonate with as much, invalidating their experiences.
yeah and this was the case with reddit until they went closed-source and everyone just stayed on the main instance
I keep giving lemmy a try and I couldn't figure out what was bugging so much about browsing it. I finally realized I'm only seeing about 7 posts per window on lemmy as opposed to 12 on reddit. And now I'm realizing the content box is only 800px wide so comments feel really constrained. This seems like a weird style choice?

My wife works at a “Chromebox workplace”. I’d say they are mostly meant for organizations who naturally are not IT-heavy (schools, healthcare) who are looking for cheap computers that are easily maintained (as everything happens in the browser) and that work for employees who don’t like or lack the expertise to babysit a computer.

These are likely the same people that would never even think about upgrading a charger. Until now they just borrowed their coworkers $3 charger and now they can just put their phone on top of their computer.
Sorry DLQs make it easier to do those alerts where a human needs to look asap at something. Not sure they can be gotten rid of, but maybe you call them something else.
That makes sense, however the main cause here, as described in the article, is that they kept their deposits in one bank, but borrowed money from another bank - a related one, but a different one.
> Small Government is as much about localism as it is about reducing the size of the government.

"Small Governments" have no rights outside of what the Federal and State constitutions give them. This is known as the Dillon Rule.

Localism also is debatable, since many of these big state Texas Unis are in big cities, e.g. U Texas is in the state capital of Austin -- right next to the state legislature. Other U T branch campuses are in other big cities but are ultimately part of the UT system.
Actually I think you'll find that the electric gas station is owned by anyone with a car garage and electricity. Fast DC charging is the exception, not the rule.

For me Google is more of a "router" to sites I know will likely provide good info, before Reddit was nerfed, I'd always include that in my Google query, same for SO etc. It worked great and fast.
You're still assuming that we know all the terms. We use randomized trials with controls improving out medicines because we almost never have enough information to compare two situationally different groups. In a controlled randomized trial, we can declare what we're testing and what we're measuring up front. The data is just too messy, otherwise. Too many hidden variables and too many possible alternate explanations that weren't measured.
Exactly, it’s never a good idea to do that, the only difference is google doesn’t advertise itself as a privacy advocate so when someone use all these google services they don’t really care about the collected data, on the other hand, the userbase of mullvad will have that false sense of security and privacy while putting more and more trust in Mullvad, it’s just a matter of time until some bad news drops.
If there is a company in the world that nobody should trust with this it's Mastercard.
foreach line [split $file \n] {
incr count($line)
}

foreach {line n} [array get count] {
if {$n > 1} {
puts "$n\t$line"
}
}

......

IMHO that's hard to grok. count shows up in the middle of a loop and it's not clear to me what it is. Could be a function, an integer, a map, or an array.

Same problem with this:

>foreach {line n} [array get count]

Not really obvious what any of this does. Guessing it's taking a map, converting it to key/value array, and iterating.
This seems to imply a choice is being made between one or the other. These are systems used in major cities. Agriculture can be handled concurrently in other places.
Yeah. And no, I'm not linking them for anyone for two reasons:

-I value the tiny shred of anonymity I have here so I can continue to express stupid opinions without being too self conscious about it.

-Honestly they just aren't very good, at least not in any traditional sense. I find that I am not passionate enough about most of my ideas to expend the time that seems necessary to flesh them out into a coherent and worthwhile experience.

Why can't mods be completely replaced by AI or bots? I wonder if a GPT-enabled AI mod would be better at serving mods functions. At the very least, it makes sense for the Reddit suits to try.

Community subreddits are better off as cozy internet forums anyways, they don't need Reddit and vice versa.
Everybody should go hike for a month and be alone in nature. It shook out of me any notion that loneliness is a bad thing.
Indeed, they even discuss in the article that hits are only about 4% of songs. Still, with 97% accuracy you theoretically turn 960 flops+40 hits into 29 flops+39 hits which is massively better.

I'm a bit burnt by Chrome OS devices falling out of support. After the Auto Update Expiration (AUE) point don't expect any security updates. No security updates for something which is primarily web browser based makes it pretty useless.

However this one is supported until June 2030 which is much better that I've seen before at 7 years.

I am surprised how much of this hit home! I would have assumed that although the same age as these people that I’d somehow not be able to relate since I was an overworking software engineer at the time.

Things like finishing a Masters degree after work, having places to go where you know you’d run into people you knew, physical media all rung true.

One thing that seemed to be missed though was that the downside of not having the technology to enable work from home meant the development of the “late at the office” culture.

Think of the xkcd comic with the sword fighting while compiling. Those sorts of silly things were routine after, say, 6pm in an office.

Now if you need to work after hours you do it from home, where your day may have started anyway. Twenty years ago you and some colleagues would stay in the office, order some food, play some music on someone’s speakers, take occasional breaks for a game or even a nap and keep plowing through work until 11pm or even later.

Also “on call” was still a thing, but it meant a phone call or page and then you physically go to the office to solve the problem!
Every few years I use Tcl/Tk and the most common reasons are:

1- It's easy to make an executable for Windows (as well as running it on Linux);

2- It's easy to write a GUI.

He did have Lewy-body dementia so it's not like he had a sudden lack of fulfillment out of the blue. Still terrifying, though.
While I agree that workplaces should /offer/ a work phone if required - I would rather just have one. I don’t want to carry and manage two phones. I just set anything work related to not alert me after 5pm which works well.
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it.
> though in 99% of the cases, just use a class

While that is a fair statement, I've been reading a lot of Typescript code lately and it seems in 99% of cases the selected solution is to use top level functions and globals to avoid the nesting hell class introduces, albeit introducing the global hell in the process. In practice, 'just use a class' doesn't overcome the human element.

Javascript was on the right track originally, but then veered off into the weeds for some reason. I appreciate you pointing out how it can be done. Although the solution is very much second class citizen, sadly. This certainly isn't going to wean developers away from global hell. Hopefully Javascript/Typescript can make some strides in improving this going forward.
yeah if only they made a blog post explaining exactly why they disabled port forwarding.
It doesn't work like that. Everyone gets brought down, not up.
As someone who’s done their best to avoid front end work for the last 5 years or so I found this a very useful comparison.
