> we've also tried the privatization approach

Really? When? When has the government not put its thumb on the scale in thousands of different ways?

For example, someone downthread mentioned the ACA, as though before it was passed health care was "privatized" in the US. It was no such thing. Health care in the US has not been "privatized" at the very least since World War II, when the government prohibited private companies from competing for employees on wages and so the companies had to compete on benefits instead, with health insurance being the biggest benefit. Then the government started regulating the health care industry, and the whole mess evolved to what we have now.

To really find "privatized" health care in the US you have to to back to before WW II. What you will find is that, given the knowledge of the time, health care worked better in the US then. And even then it wasn't completely privatized: for example, the government still regulated the supply of doctors and other health care workers with licensing, which drives up costs and drives down accessibility to care.
I agree with you, but I'm surprised that you then go on to write off conservatism seemingly flippantly.

There is no reason to believe that social norms can only change for the better, and in fact a lot of evidence that they aren't moving in a positive direction.

The US right may be overreacting to this by rolling back too many changes and throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

But that doesn't mean that conservatism in general is a bad idea. There is certainly something to be said for assessing the outcomes of a change before running many experiments in parallel without a control group.
You describe your friends' relying on technology to solve their problems in a condescending tone, yet they simply adapted to a world that is changing. When most of the cars they use already have the digital guidance, there is no point not using them, and still "throw their arm on the backside of the passenger seat, and turn around to look out the windows", which is way less efficient. Imagine you are planning a trip from California to Colorado. Are you gonna study paper maps and remember all the turns before go like old days just in case your phone would die sporadically? No, you don't spend an hour of your life to prepare for an event with 0.01% probability. Same for your friends.

In the good ole USA, vehicles are also getting larger (massive market to satisfy the insecurities of millions of Americans) and manufacturers are pushing them down American throats to get around the CAFE regulations. [1]

Since they are getting larger, this means the view from the front is obscured. In most SUVs and trucks, 8-9 children can be sitting in front of a modern truck or SUV before you see a child's head. There's been some talk about forcing FRONT view cameras as well. [2]

It's absolutely disgusting. I hate cars. I hate how transportation is largely car centric.

> Would you say the same thing about WoW?

No. WoW has always been an MMORPG. Playing "solo" still means you're in the world with other players. That has not been the case with Diablo before.

> It's a new and integral part of the experience.

New (i.e. different than the rest of the franchise) and integral is an inherently bad combination. New and optional would be fine. If they want to make a completely new game with no expectations, then they shouldn't be reusing a name that necessarily carries expectations. What they've done is close to a bait and switch, and that's why people are pissed off.
>The argument is pedantic. It may not be Morse, but it's definitely possible to communicate by tapping on the wall.

IMO the article made a useful distinction. The whole second half covers "tap code", as is used in prisons, etc. I've known Morse for decades but somehow hadn't bumped into tap code before.
They don't matter, that's why.
This is why the most immediately jarring thing of the Congo comic, in my opinion, is not even the strong racism. It's the relentless animal-brutality-based “comedy”. The racism is not so much meant as the butt of the joke, more just a shoddy world view.
It's a 10 hour drive give or take, but the challenge would be in returning the car.

Also the agencies I've searched understandably do not allow one-way trips that go beyond national norders.
The thing is that Linux isn’t much more accessible at all. Assuming that your vendor isn’t actively trying to hide backdoors from you, reverse engineering closed-source binaries is a little annoying but not all that different from trying to figure out what some open source code does. It’s really the sheer quantity that is the problem here.

Whatever its origins, it’s what the baptists who raised me believed, and it was a view of self and body that was prevalent in the Christian circles of my childhood.

And to your point, it has permeated Christianity more broadly, and arguably western thinking even broader still. I left the church in my teens. My conception of self didn’t shift until decades later after many years of intentional deconstruction. It’s a powerful illusion.
Or it could be that replacement drivers are 595 quality and quality control is factored in their price.
One really cool question for people is, where do you feel 'you' are - where the core of you are physically. For many people 'you' is like a tension point in your head just behind the eyes.

For me it is more in the middle of my chest. This is considered odd in the western world but it is not unheard of. I am not my mind, I am not my ego, I am but a wave in the universe, it comes - it goes it will pass - enjoy it for a while.

There's no reason federated social media has to adopt the exponential growth or die mentality.

Some federated bubbles will want to, but plenty of others won't. And they can continue on just fine.
Excellent. There may be other solutions too, but I haven't heard or thought of any. There are two reasons why this is a good thing, I think:

The fediverse is about creating a more decentralized internet. Facebook is about centralizing as much of the internet on its servers and sucking up as much data as possible. These things simply aren't compatible. We've seen over, and over again what happens when you allow big tech companies into your open standards. Whether it was Google destroying the XMPP network, or Microsoft deliberately trying to cripple Open Office, we know how this will end. Facebook may play nice for a day or two, but one day some product manager will decide they have most of the users, so why play nice? They'll introduce a new (proprietary) feature to try and get their users to complain to their friends that messages aren't as cool when they're not on Facebook, suck up most of the users, then defederate. Or they'll just refuse to follow the standard properly because they know best (ala Google refusing to implement TLS for server to server connections with XMPP, making many smaller servers choose to defederate for their users safety).

Also, we've seen how bad their behavior can be in terms of moderation, being party to genocide, allowing nazis, etc. so why would we allow them to bring all that too our users? Blocking entire servers until they change their behavior, or permanently if they refuse to, has been an extremely effective moderation solution that has kept the fediverse safe. This only works if server sizes stay relatively small (where the crossover point is, I don't know, but I know facebook is way beyond it).

As a teenager in the early 2000s, the times I reached out for help while being suicidally depressed and alone and very distraight, I was met with extreme discomfort from adults, or treated as a wet dog that just managed to run inside and get water everywhere.
It's really not that political at all. It has depictions of recent immigrants butting heads with established ethnic groups but you end up liking both sides so I don't know what there is to complain about.
I understand this comment is poo-pooing the idea of gender being separate from biological sex, but even biological sex is not as straightforward as having a Y chromosome meaning you're a man, such as women with Swyer syndrome...

He noted only that the fathers were not recognized during the assembly. We know nothing about who was invited to participate in the planning.
Surveillance, spam (advertising), algorithmic timelines (prioritizing toxicity because it maximizes engagement), and embrace-extend-extinguish.
Do we expect it will go better if they are blocked? Instead of the risk of embrace, extend, extinguish, Fediverse just ends up being "the thing like Facebook's thing, but harder to use?"
It makes sense to differentiate gender from sex for many scientific studies. There are many other studies where I could see it being entirely valid to bin AFAB men with all men. It's good for studies to specify how they define their bins.
Germany and South Africa have both operated coal-to-liquids (Fisher-Tropsch) at industrial scale. Germany during WWII, South Africa from the 1940s or 1950s onwards (I'm not certain if it's still in process). Both nations had ample coal reserves but little petroleum.

I became aware of the prospect of synthesis from captured CO2 + hydrogen (from electrolysis) from a US Naval Research Lab study around 2015. Those papers had ... misleadingly-truncated citations, dating back only to the 1990s. It turns out that hydrocarbon synfuels were first proposed in the 1960s, by M. King Hubbert and studied at Brookhaven National Labs and M.I.T.

Google had an X Project devoted to the idea as well, though ran into insurmountable cost barriers.

Scaling seems to be a major concern, though the process does work at experimental scales, and produces usable fuel. It seems worth continued research based on the potential advantages, even if costs remain higher than fossil fuels. (The USNRL research suggested "competitive" costs, particularly for in situ military fuel generation, notably in aircraft carrier task groups which have ample supplies of nuclear energy, but need fuel for aircraft.)

Battery storage has numerous limitations: low energy density by both volume and weight, and the fact that whilst fuel burns off during flight (and accounts for 50% or more of take-off weight), batteries don't. In the case of metal-air batteries (iron and aluminium have both been proposed), as the redox reaction progresses, the battery gains mass as oxygen from the atmosphere is bonded to it. This poses problems for flight, and even ground-based transport tends not to work well with batteries at large scale.
Facebook has already embraced, extended, and extinguished RSS. The expectation is that they will do the same with ActivityPub if given a chance.

They are also well-known for tracking users across the entire internet and maintaining "shadow profiles" of people who don't even use their services. Anyone with privacy concerns[1] would not want them on the same network as themselves.

Their moderation is shit, they are happy to encourage arguments as long as they get ad views out of it. The Fediverse is generally supported by funds donated by site admins and users, who often would rather not have a place full of arguments. [2]

1: arguably anyone with privacy concerns might do well to avoid ActivityPub anyway but...
2: call it a "filter bubble" if you like, I'd rather be in one curated by myself and/or a friend than one curated by an amoral corporation
Abstract stories about emotions is good though. Soul was a perfectly good movie.

And if you go over to the anime community, the kids are explicitly liking it because of the random emotional tangents (I'm looking at you Demon Slayer).

And a lot of the reason why people liked Puss in Boots: the last wish, was because of the existential crisis the protagonist faces upon confronting his last life.

I don't think a movie like Elemental would hit very hard after Zootopia locked down the concept near perfectly. It seems ill-timed, we need a few more years to forget Zootopia before giving another rural vs urban different people's city romance with subtle nods to racism story.
/usr stands for ‘user’.

In particular, in our own version of the system, there is a directory "/usr" which contains all user's directories, and which is stored on a relatively large, but slow moving head disk, while the othe files are on the fast but small fixed-head disk. — https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/notes.html

> Whereas a public codebase like Linux receives constant intersectional scrutiny, closed systems like MacOS can't have that same attention.

This is not true; Apple’s OSes get plenty of scrutiny by various groups looking to fix (and break!) its software defenses.
How do you square this with your advice to use S3? Apple bad but AWS ok?
If the end state of the fediverse is the same incumbent social networks running the federated social media sphere just like they run their walled gardens, what would've been the point of the entire exercise?

Meta already has their social networks. The fediverse doesn't need them, and I don't see why they "need" the fediverse either - unless their plan is Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
Thanks! I really appreciate the constructive feedback! These are good ideas :)

It's possible to roll your own. I'm setting up a pipeline with scripts, in order to democratize performance testing as a platform for any API.

The basic ingredients are

* A secured load test machine
* Triggering git clone into a timestamped folder
* Running jmeter headless against the .jmx file
* Collecting results and running analysis

Several of these steps are essentially emulating Jenkins, so of course use that if the environment will stick around for some time. For my use case, staying scrappy has the benefit of being easily scrapped (temporary hardware).

Does this help?

Sure but total focus on the amusing side of it, the perceived insult does not register. Australians in general don't feel at all bad about whatever australian culture comprises as compared with European or American. Stupid caricature is no more than stupid and reflects on something else than australia. There used to be a strong chip on the shoulder 60 odd years ago, "you're all convicts" etc but it doesn't hit anymore at all. It seems like Ireland is following a similar path in the past few of decades as they've become stronger economically.

Being successful and strong enough to ignore and laugh at perceived prejudice is a good thing. May every decent culture get to that and then improve from there.

No not like that!

A person going by Bloonface (https://mastodon.social/@Bloonface/110605013435138542#.) put it perfectly. People complain more people should dump centralization and move to Mastodon, but every time they try they get shouted at for doing it wrong.

Posting too much. Using hashtags. Not using hashtags. Not adding alt descriptions. Not using content warnings. Using content warnings. Using them, but for the wrong thing. Joining the big servers. Joining the bad servers. Talking about Twitter. Not calling it ‘the bird site’. Not being pro-(whatever) enough. Demanding people do any of the above.

A number of people I like went to Mastodon, I enjoy I can keep reading their stuff. And I get the problems with Bluesky. But boy do I wish I had an invite, it sounds so much less contentious and more fun.
Wittgenstein would have such a field day with the semantic games we're playing these days. The disclaimer basically says: "man" has a purely subjective meaning, but we're going to keep using the word anyway because we know you know what we mean objectively. Kind of funny if you think about it. I think that's what the (̶n̶o̶w̶ ̶n̶u̶k̶e̶d̶) comment was pointing out.
> opting out of data sharing can be done via an app.

Oh, the irony.

As the owner of a new Toyota who received a phone call from our dealer because Toyota contacted them about a (routine) maintenance alert from our vehicle… the car / app combination is a privacy nightmare.

They offer an opt out, and that’s good, but by the gods their default is insane.
Some critics brought this up, but the more overt message of Elemental actually makes things worse.

Think about it. In real life, skin color doesn’t do… anything. It’s just a stupid way humans distinguish between each other.

Elemental - the two “races” can literally annihilate each other on contact. It would be like if we had humans made from matter and antimatter. “Racism” in such a world is completely justified and a matter of survival - what message does that send if you are meant to read it as a racial allegory? It makes no sense.
No you are projecting your own worldview over the substance of that comment.
Correct.

> You think that’s why it’s taken so long to move off of IPv4? Surely it can’t be _anything_ else, like lagging support for IPv6 in newer network routing protocols, bug related to those implementations with IPv6, or sometimes no support for IPv6 at all. Similarly for systems and applications that just have no concept of IPv6 at all.

Who do you think is making those poor protocols and buggy implementations? People who are affected by IPv4 address exhaustion - which is most of the non-US world - know how important IPv6 is and prioritise it. People who aren't affected and don't know anyone who's affected - which is people in the US - don't care (and I don't think this is some deep moral failing - it's normal and natural to not care about an issue that doesn't affect you), treat it as an afterthought, and the poor level of support you see is the result of that.
That could work

Attaching a word for maleness and badness is harmful in and of itself, though. And its not even a good term, because the name is constructed to make it look like being male is what's bad. It's far from the only term like this, see, e.g. manspreading, mainsplaining, etc. which are pointlessly gendered.

This type of recent linguistic addition really sticks out when people are working so hard to make language humane and inclusive elsewhere, while simultaneously going in the exact opposite direction with male-related neologisms.

And the last part of your own post illustrates that bad traits like being violent or domineering can be called out without having to pointlessly gender the terms.

It's not. In so far as you can assign a "goal" to a network as diverse as the fediverse, many services (maybe most?) started out as a way to specifically get away from the growth mindset of giant corporations. The fediverse was initially popularized among the queer and trans communities as a way to remain safe from giant platforms that do a bad job moderating where they would be harassed all day. These are the people who made the fediverse what it is, and they could not have done the same on a giant billion-user platform like Facebook. Somewhere smaller and more intimate is easier to moderate, and keeps people safer. The point isn't rapid growth, or adoption, it's organic growth that doesn't outpace our ability to keep our users safe.

What I normally try to do is ask any customer what their needs are and try to understand those, rather than just push my product on them. It may not be a fit.

But in general, if customers want to customize it (UI, extensions, streaming methods, add-ons), it's way easier to customize your deployment with BrowserBox Pro, than to get Cloudflare to customize your deployment of their browsers.

And if you purchase our licenses in bulk it works out cheaper than 7/user/month (we are from 3.33/user/month to 1.05/user/month at scale). Maybe Cloudflare also offers volume discounts, but I don't know.

Also, if a customer wants to build a customer-facing product around this virtualized browser technology, can they do that with Cloudflare? Can I, for instance, licenses the SKIA-drawing S2 tech from Cloudflare to use in BrowserBox Pro? Maybe, but I don't know.

BrowserBox Pro license covers all of this in one easy to purchase package.
What a brain dead reply.

So violence is fine because it's not as bad as some other horrific events in the past? The barometer shouldn't be the frequency of violence reaching a certain threshold. It's should be zero for everyone.

You should genuinely be embarrassed at this remarkably stupid and pathetic distinction.
So why wouldn't it be better to attack people's bad behavior than their identity?

>I disagree. From experience, there are enough times that configuration requires repetition, loops, interpolation, etc, that you often end up in this gross space of either repeating chunks manually (error prone and brittle), or using code/templating to generate config (requires everyone on the codebase to use a specific toolchain).

In such a case, use a Python script to generate the configuration, and then commit that generated config into source control. Keep the script and the generated config together in the same repo. You can set up a commit hook to keep them in sync. That way you can see explicitly what the configuration is, while reducing the repetition in the editing process.

>JSON definitely fails as human-editable. Again, you need some tooling to ensure syntax correctness.

What kind of tooling are you talking about here, other than syntax highlighting? I'm really at a loss to imagine how editing JSON by hand could be hard, other than maybe the lack of trailing comma. There's just not that much to it.
