The annoying thing is that links don’t work properly. If someone links to a post, you won’t be logged in when you click it.

This is also a problem with mastodon. As well as the fact that instances constantly shut down or have insane admins.

RIP Don Lancaster, who, just like those canals was woefully underappreciated. These articles always make me wonder who is left.
It’s often cheaper to couple things tightly. Abstractions and interfaces have costs. However, they also have benefits. Perhaps React and Preact is one such example.

React is a tiny fully agnostic library that does components, props, hooks and all that jazz. You can use it anywhere, from DOM to CLI. To tie it to DOM, a separate library exists—named, unimaginatively, ReactDOM—and that’s where the 100KB heft comes in.

Preact is the opposite: smaller, but coupled to DOM. The architecture probably doesn’t facilitate cool stuff like render components to embedded LCD[0], and even to do SSR you would have to add extra libraries.

Creating a great product that makes money isn't a cash grab.
I thought about this a while back.

Virtual reality is still reality. The early internet that we experienced in 90s felt so different from real world, because it was a new media and real world powers had not yet expand their influence into it yet, but eventually they will. Censorship, speech control, propaganda, commercialization, etc and etc, everything will be there. To the point the new media/platform/reality becomes no different from outside world.

People are excited about VR technology recently. I am not. It would be the same damn story again.
I guess you can call "creating a great product that people want to pay for" a "cash grab", but what isn't a cash grab then?
One big difference between now and back in the day is the prominence of professional gaming leagues. It's not just about stomping noobs for bragging rights; it can be a genuine dream for people like becoming an NBA star.

The servers are connected, you can have account on one server and talk to people in communities on other server.

Kind of like with email, you don't need to have account with Gmail to send an email to friend on that server.

Proof of that happening?
My dad worked here in the late 1970s on the commercial reactor on-site (still operational, we lived in West Richland). This led to a lifelong career for him in the nuclear industry, but he died at 70 of bile duct cancer. There was a class action settlement from the DOE that we somehow auto-qualified for after his death since the cancer might have been related to his work there (but after Hanford he worked at plants in many different places, supposedly they had better standards).
I wonder if error boundary components/functionality are an anti-pattern. They invite the developer to create components which expect to fail. Even basic hide/show logic is better than expecting devs to orchestrate unified error handling across the app.
I'm pretty sure that's why they are asking white people to think about it. Others already know.
Exactly this. A working American's lifetime capacity to evaluate and fact-check history lessons is vastly insufficient. As a voracious radical most of my life now pushing 40, I am still learning what I don’t know about the basics, and I attend weekly reading groups ffs!

... From a technical perspective. But most people don't care about that. It's a social network, and they want to use it as one. They already have the experience of reddit, where there's thousands of seamless communities and one account gives you access to all of them. Lemmy feels like a big step back for anyone who doesn't care about the technical details. Which is basically everyone.

Funny, I was is in Ukraine in the Fall of '21 and I felt and knew Russia was going to invade by November, which was when Belarus and Poland were in a proxy war and I had to return into the EU during that debacle and saw how Hungary was locking it's borders.

By contrast no one was mentioning the possibility of Russia invading at that time, despite having put 75k troops in the Spring on the Ukrainian border in Belarus being a major contributor, with any real seriousness.

I'm well aware of what I don't know on these matters, but unlike most of you I have been involved in this matter since the Maidan Revolution. The creation of Uniterd24 was the manifestation of the technology WE in the Bitcoin community built, while you FAANG lackeys patted yourself on the back in creating a digital panopticon.

Let me remind you: we are not the same thing, so I'm not offended. I'm just aghast of how little you people grasp of the World and what is possible with allocating human capital to more noble causes. But since it isn't lucrative or even looked down as it is here (see my post history for examples of this laughable arrogance), if this weren't the case then maybe your opinion would have some value to me.

Just to be clear: I'm not a shot-caller, nor do I consider myself one as I'm an anarchist for a reason and detest the nature of politics/geopolitics to my very core; however, it's clear that COVID and this war has shown the horrendous nature of sleeping with despots these last 3 decades has and is mired with long term consequences for short term (but lucrative gains) for corporations and politicians.

Until you know what it feels like to see Fukushima and then seeing these moronic mobiks digging up trenches in Chernobyl and living in dread as they start shelling Zaporizhzhia while living on mainland Europe I will just never see any value in your opinions either.

Yup, their own app makes Reddit unusable. Thing is, even if their app was great I'd still not use it. I can't stand being in someone's walled garden force fed content like Clockwork Orange.
No, that stuff is nonsensical. I don’t want to browse servers and keep a list etc. The federated stuff will never take off and in a way I hope it doesn’t, all that content locked away on personal servers that can go away at a whim.
Are you intending to speak generally, because there are almost no markets where that is the way things work. I can't think of any other market that is restricted purely on the demand side, and the few markets I can think of with demand side enforcement as a major component, they do so because they are at the limit of what is practical on the supply side, not because they choose not to enforce supply side.

Back around 1997 or so I had just bought a copy of The Incredible Secret Money Machine and I called him at the number he posted in his Nuts & Volts column just to see what would happen. He actually answered and we had a short, but interesting conversation. He really seemed like he'd be fun to hang out with.

And as he predicted, my copy of ISMM disappeared. Lent it to my business partner and never saw it again :-(

Yeah, the original inspiration for this was a tweet where the poster was using that behavior to leak cursor position (by having a big grid of divs with hover-over css classes with background images)!
I’m elaborating on his explanation that “bodily autonomy” (i.e. social libertarianism) isn’t the point of the bill. Lots of people—in particular, most women, reject the social libertarian view that prostitution is acceptable: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/11/11203740/prostitution-legal-me.... Many of those people, however, would agree (like Dworkin) that the reason prostitution is wrong is because it is violence against women.

The upshot of that is you can get enough support to pass a law decriminalizing selling of sex (something social libertarians and many sex-negative feminists could agree on), while lacking enough support to decriminalize buying sex (which only social libertarians would support).
Seriously ? "Fixed %" ?? Even that papers that bringed Silicon Bank down was better - covers 15% of inflation...

Indeed, it's not. The opinion only protects the commission of expressive works, not the general buying & selling of any goods.

You'd have to work really hard to make selling a cheeseburger an expressive act.
If someone takes out a mortgage and goes bankrupt, the lender will get the house. If someone takes out a car loan and goes bankrupt, the lender will get the car.

For loans with no collateral, like credit cards, the lenders use credit scores and other heuristics to determine the likelihood of making their money back, and deny applicants who don’t meet their standards.

I believe the intended effect of making student loans immune to bankruptcy was to make education more accessible by incentivizing lenders to provide loans to subprime borrowers.

I share your belief that (new) student loans should be dischargeable in bankruptcy. I expect that lenders will become more choosy in what students they lend money to, and this reduction in money available to students will in turn incentivize schools for once to start lowering prices.

But that idea means fewer students will be able to receive student loans, and it will be attacked (wrongly) from an egalitarian perspective.
Haha, thanks, Nick. :)
This is not because new people come in greater numbers but rather because of who we want to be true.
Well, technically the term is used for the people who are looking to purchase services, so I’m not sure what sort of judgement you’re trying to apply, but thanks kindly for your 2c - the point being that you can buy sex off the street in NSW

Ok, Mr. Religious. What parts of the Bible do you think give you the right to tell gay people what to do with their lives?

A natural resource lieing solely in the hands of profit-driven private companies. Take a moment to reflect on the potential risks this poses for the average consumer, the consequences of placing profit above all.

Will you entrust your well-being to CEOs and boards whose sole priority is relentless growth and maximizing profits, regardless of the consequences?

Laws can only do so much to prevent vital resources from becoming unaffordable for the very people who deserve them. These companies, with no regard for your, the citizen's, vote or input, prioritize profits above all else. To them, it's just another business move, leaving the consequences behind as they move on to the next venture.

You can argue and consider other ideas, but the higher risk in the private side is always there.

Most of the working class is selling the majority of their waking life-hours under the same circumstances, I suppose you see that fundamental foundation of our society as coercion and slavery too if you are consistent? I don't see much difference with a tech worker being coerced to spent 8+ hours a day building repulsive advertising and surveillance technologies to put a roof over their head. People sell their soul, mind and body in different ways.
Except when other instances defederate your instance... like happened with lemmy.world (where I am) for some very stupid reason... the worst thing is that it still looks like you can see and interact with other instances! But when you make a comment, for example, in a post from the other instance, only you and people from your instance will see that :D. It's kind of ridiculous, really.

I like Lemmy in general, it's what you would expect from a Reddit clone... but because of this kind of stuff, it's really going to be a hard sell for anyone who's not fundamentally a "fediverse" fan who wants Reddit to burn.
So, what happened here? What kind of spill happened? There's such little public info easily available about this it seems, but maybe I'm just bad at searching late at night.

While it has a long way to go I am very hopeful for the fediverse. Got the Memmy app via Test Flight and got signed up to lemmy.world in like 2 minutes. Was a lot simpler than I realized and honestly I am giddy with excitement. So long and thanks for all the memes.

Also, bravo to that dev. Seriously, v0.0.2 and you are killing it mate. You should be proud.

Fun article, neat trick with lock fences. Distributed systems are cool, but easy to build wrong and impossible to fix after the fact.

I think multithreading is effectively a distributed system. Is GPU rendering one too? I've tried reducing Dolphin Emulator's latency with vsync on, and run into a wall trying to understand GPU frame fences, the relative timings of CPU operations and GPU polygon rendering on Wii vs. PC GPUs, and the occupied length of the swapchain.

For a few years now, I sometimes get the feeling that DHH is being a contrarian just because. I'm sure it gets that eyeballs and all. They did mention in one of their books to 'have an enemy'[0] so this is probably just part of that.

Anyway, to get back on topic, the answer is it depends. There is a time for both.

The nice part about designing in Figma is that you can focus on the design instead of all the thousand paper cuts that pop up, like how to structure the DOM, should this be grid or flex or position absolute, how do I generalise this section? How do I fucking center this thing? You may not want to, but you can't help it because you're writing code and the code writing part of the brain wants to think about stuff like that.

The reverse is also true, when designing in Figma, one sometimes forget about how things should be structured. What about hover/focus/active states? What about responsiveness?

Use the best tool for the task.

I'm not even slightly interested in the "fediverse". My impression is that most of the people involved are more interested in the ideology of decentralisation and the technology than they are about community building. I don't care even slightly about decentralisation. The focus is to the clear detriment of the product itself.

The article explains the spill
That's quite different from what the PDF says:

> Before the district court, Ms. Smith and the State stipulated to a
number of facts: Ms. Smith is “willing to work with all people regard-
less of classifications such as race, creed, sexual orientation, and gen-
der” and “will gladly create custom graphics and websites” for clients
of any sexual orientation; she will not produce content that “contra-
dicts biblical truth” regardless of who orders it; Ms. Smith’s belief that
marriage is a union between one man and one woman is a sincerely
held conviction; Ms. Smith provides design services that are “expres-
sive” and her “original, customized” creations “contribut[e] to the over-
all message” her business conveys “through the websites” it creates;
the wedding websites she plans to create “will be expressive in nature,”
will be “customized and tailored” through close collaboration with in-
dividual couples, and will “express Ms. Smith’s and 303 Creative’s
message celebrating and promoting” her view of marriage; viewers of
Ms. Smith’s websites “will know that the websites are her original art-
work;” and “[t]here are numerous companies in the State of Colorado
and across the nation that offer custom website design services.”

The only opposition here is to selling a website with a message she opposes, i.e. she'd be happy to sell a website celebrating a straight marriage to a gay person, but not happy to sell a website celebrating a gay marriage to anyone.

Now you can say that she's lying, but nothing in this ruling prevents them from suing her if it was really about the customer and not the message.
Is literal physical force really the only kind of violence you can understand?

Suppose you fly to Alaska to see the northern lights, in early winter. You make it to some remote town with low light pollution, and you have a reservation for your hotel -- but when you try to check in they turn you away. "We don't accept your kind here", someone sneers. You try the 8 other hotels in town and are denied service at all of them. The small airport you came into is closed. The night is cold, you become hypothermic, you fall asleep. You make it through the night but in the morning, the tiny airline that brought you in refuses to fly back out, but laugh at you and call you a slur. You're trapped in this remote frozen town. The restaurants won't serve you. The grocery store won't sell you anything. You're hungry and tired and cold and yo don't make it through the second night. A couple days later your body is briefly inspected by a medical examiner. "There's no indication of a physical trauma." Does the fact that no physical force was directed at your body really mean that no violence occurred?

During the Great Famine of 1876-78 in India, the British exported hundreds of thousands of tons of grain, and had dedicated a large amount of land to other cash crops (like tea). The British ran "relief" camps, where people were made to do hard agricultural labor to "earn" a meager amount of food assistance which was literally fewer calories than they would have burned doing that labor. When those people died, in substantial numbers, just because no blade or gun or blow was directed at their bodies, is it appropriate to say there was no violence? If the grain being exported was protected by claims of legal ownership, and thus also by a credible threat of hostile use of deadly force, if the land dedicated to tea production was similarly claimed, then is not the whole state apparatus of violence in protection of property effectively a weapon?
With the recent surge in discussion around Lemmy, I decided to spin up an instance and give it a go. It seems to have a lot trouble syncing up with other instances making for a very disjointed experience.

For example, I commented on one post, which added that community to my instance, but then my instance never did sync up with any new comments from that post so I just thought there was no activity on it until I went to the original instance and saw all the new comments.

To be fair, it could be on me and my configuration. I'm not really sure, but it makes it difficult to keep track of moving discussions and will probably drive me away from it eventually.
