> Although, we basically have the same thing when people share links and people comment on them.

True, but having the comments appear naturally in context makes all the difference. Imagine seeing comments/corrections on a New York Times article that aren't moderated by the paper, or comments on a real estate listing that list all the problems that the listing omits, or reviews of a show on Netflix, etc.

From my original post:

> A couple of decades ago this problem flared up in the US and Congress spent the money to build out a new state of the art weather station network

> For nearly 20 years it's shown no warming in the USA whatsoever.

i.e. since the construction of a high quality network, warming doesn't happen anymore.

If you zoom out to the 1950s you're incorporating data from the old network. The US government built a new one because data from the old network was being extensively modified by climatologists post-collection, and they were even modifying data long in the past, using the low quality of the network as a justification for doing so. More than half of all observed warming comes from these administrative adjustments and aren't actually visible in the original data, so you can see why you'd want to fix that.
The truth is useful, but how often is it really the goal? What happens if it's unknowable, or if there simply isn't a single factual truth?
That is super interesting, but looking at the diagram[1] my first gripe is with the nature of their decentralization.

It's not a bad idea, it's a good first step, but they're proposing that any group or private person can host an annotation service.

This will cause first of all competition, because which service has the most annotations? Using my annotation service hosted on my minecraft server might be useless because it only has my own annotations.

So obviously users will want to use a larger service, and here comes all the standard issues of a user-driven internet, trust, donations, groups forming and such. Also you might end up in a bubble, seeing annotations only from one particular side of the political spectrum.

Of course this model does not have the same issues as the fediverse where annotation services can de-federate from each other, the user is free to pick and choose whichever they want. There might even be a helpful counter in the UI that shows how many annotations a particular service has for this website.

The only real solution to all this is some sort of global database, like IPFS perhaps, where we can store the annotations. And then we can all individually host gateway servers to this database that the end user connects through.

But that has its own problems of course, you can't just magically make a distributed database without heavy bandwidth consumption and its own hosting requirements.

I've been wondering if BlueSky has been growing too slowly, doling out invite codes too cautiously as people move onto other platforms and sort of give up on it.

Looks like I'm wrong. Other platforms don't seem to be scratching that twitter river-of-news itch for me.

How has BlueSky been for you? It's just been such a have & have-nots situation to me (from the outside). I have no real idea if people are enjoying how it works other than just having it.

Twitter enters second day of technical problems
I’d be interested to see where if at all the economic incentives in these systems reflect previous political systems (like feudalism) - my guess is that this is where the metaphors break down.

For example there was a tangible consumable result of sharecropping - food that you eat. Youtube is the same sharecropping system, you get a small percentage of the product you produce (advertising revenue) for the organization (YouTube) who provide the property that you use.

For a feudalism - Reddit comparison, where is the economic compensation? Answer: there isn’t any that is facilitated by the platform.

So this can’t be compared as it’s a different economic system. I’ve heard it argued that some moderators are getting paid or whatever but I’ve seen no evidence of this and as a moderator and founder of 100,000 person Sub, that is very popular fora small community, at no point have we been approached as the moderator team by Reddit or otherwise, to be compensated for our work. Reddit uses 100% volunteer work and the entirety of the Reddit content moderation structure is Volunteer on top of a strict corporate hierarchy. I’m not actually sure we have a name for that in political theory (anyone have any ideas?)

I appreciate the differentiation here - even if there’s limited expected application for the layperson using the phrase colloquially in an Internet forum.

Ask HN: Anyone Running an Internal Pastebin?
With Microsoft Teams being so terrible at sharing code snippets, I was looking at using an internal Pastebin. This would hopefully make it easier to just share short URLs in Teams.

I found a list of pastebins here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#pastebins

If you run an internal pastebin instance, what has been your experience with it? Does it get much use? Is it integrated with your SSO? was it approved by corporate and/or your IT security department? Can you recommend a specific project?

I am amazed (or saddened) but not surprised at how averse people are to the idea of people cleaning after themselves.

Why do people expect a functioning sewage system, instead of traking their poop to the ocean themselves?

Why do they expect the beach to be free of excrement, instead of cleaning it themselves? Why do they expect a recycling dystem to actually recycle plastic instead of defrauding them and dumping it in malasia?

Well, then they also expect the reviews to be non-fraudulent?
> Reddit, being a link aggregator

I know that technically being a link aggregator is reddit's main thing, but almost all my posting and reading has been more like a discussion forum, with most posts not being links but text posts (which may or may not have one or more links).

While one type of discussion can of course be the discussion about exactly 1 link, I've still always found it slightly weird that reddit makes this distinction between a link and a text post, rather than just have text post (in which you can put links anyway).
Universal healthcare isn't a hard requirement here. At a minimum we having more affordable medical insurance that isn't tied to employment would be a huge help.

I don't think so. Serializing is IO-bound, if your format is "simple" (e.g. CBOR) you can't measure the difference.

All this look like BS to justify laziness to me, and makes loading/saving operations fragile and setting in-memory structures in stone.
For roughly equal powers and if its bidirectional, maybe.
Yes as in, why is it normalised that you would expect to pushed too hard in many work environments, and it be on you to deal with this? Elon Musk is just a poster child for this kind of institutionalised bullying

As in my OP here, if you've set up your life around working at Twitter and then a new CEO rocks up and demands everyone 'go hard or go home', then sure you can go home and if you don't like his approach then eventually you'll have to. There will be people who find it more difficult to change jobs for whatever reason, and while they need to take responsibility for getting themselves out of a bad situation, it's not their fault that a new bully turned up in a position of authority on their block
I wonder what is more cost effective long term - keeping the A-10s as they are, or training the F35 pilots to do CAS.

It seems the direction we are going is fewer aircraft types in general.

> those "damn spirals and shit" were around way earlier than thought

You’re telling me someone with exposure to HUDF saw more spirals and shit longer ago via JWST and said “wow that’s unexpected, who could have guessed spirals and shit would go further back”? And you believed them? If so, I have a bridge to sell you…

Either they have no pattern recognition/projection capability, or (more likely) they’re pretending to express shock at the exact result they expected because it results in more media attention and funding.

Consider, what gets more media attention: “JWST finds more of the exact same stuff Hubble already found everywhere, but this time at the slightly lower frequency for which it is tuned” or “Breaking News! Scientists working on the JWST say they have found signs of early galaxies that have been around for far longer than anyone ever imaged before!”? If you look closely, the two messages are the exact same. But to the media/layperson something interesting is happening in the second one.

Nice article.

However, the relationship is a bit more of a 2-way street than the author admits to. The mice in the maze are studying the scientist too.

Meaning, such a manager would have a difficult time managing devs that know what tricks the manager is using, since the metrics are now targets.

Sandbagging estimates, producing verbose and pretty code, arguing against requirements, playing up requirements, etc. There are a lot of ways to make the metrics/targets play into the favor of the dev.

Though a good starting place, the article spends too little time on the most important part of the relationship: Trust. Devs and managers are people. If you go to the mat for your people, and they know it, then they'll most likely go to the mat for you too. No need to hide behind these metrics/targets.
I took it in high school prior (for two years), so when starting, I knew ~all of the kana characters, maybe a dozen kanji characters, and had a very solid pronunciation baseline, but had mostly forgotten how to conduct basic conversations or talk about anything of substance. I've since moved to Japan, so it's hard to disentangle my immersion experience from 1:1 learning, but I was pretty much able to conduct any conversation that I needed to have, including fairly abstract ones, when I first moved here.

In the interim year since, I've continued the 1:1 lessons and obviously improved a lot naturally as well. I've had multiple people ask me if I was half-Japanese (I'm not) and other people tell me "it would be rude to say you're good at Japanese; it's more apt to say you can just speak it normally." Other people don't mention it at all and just treat me as they would any other Japanese person. (Which sometimes backfires because they use high diction or very arcane expressions and idioms.)

For me, the key was finding a 1:1 teacher that I could meet 2-3 times a week (we met remotely over Skype), and I mixed basic conversational practice in along with targeted grammar study. iTalki is where I first started down this path of 1:1 tutoring, (where I found my first few teachers), and it's worked out great for me.
<< digital serfs.

There is a difference. 'No-rights' people were corralled and restrained, by force when necessary. Where is the violence today? At best, there is a threat that you will lose your job ( it is not insignificant, but it is not your life ). Can reddit put you in acid mines? No. Can they fire you? Well, the mods there are volunteers. Their status indicates how quickly they could pick up and their toys and move. There is only one thing that makes them digital serfs. Inertia.

( yes, I am aware how difficult it is to have a website these days that scales, but the only thing that is really stopping people from doing things is that doing things is hard; it is easier to do what you did yesterday )
I disagree entirely with your statement "Russia has objectively outclassed the West with missile tech (and defense)." Ukraine has shown that the A2AD, "hypersonic" and cruise missile tech touted by the Russians for decades aren't quite as impressive as the marketing brochures would imply.

Let's just look at AA gear. Pantsir has been shown to be ineffective against most drones, Storm Shadow, etc. Same with BUK. S300 and S400 have really good range, but I think that Patriot and SAMP stand up well in comparison. The Ukrainians are using older Patriot missiles and are successfully engaging Khinzal and any cruise missile the Russians can throw at it. NATO has THAAD and better versions of Patriot in their arsenal, so even being generous, I think this is a draw.

For offensive weapons, the Russians have nothing in the class of SCALP/Storm Shadow, much less JASSM/LRASM. They would even have a hard time coping with Tomahawk.

So what weapon system are the Russians going to use against Lakenheath and Mildenhall? A Kalibr is going to have a very hard time making it across the Baltics to the UK, and I doubt any aircraft doing a suicide mission would make it either. How about Aviano? Same problem. Ramstein and Spangdahlem as well.

And Russia sure has done a great job "pummeling" Ukrainian airbases, right? I mean, they've utterly failed at this. The Ukrainians are still flying Fencers, Fulcrums and Frogfoots from their bases.
Nations do not have a hierarchical relationship...only power dynamics, which is the strong-arm tactics that you mention. People are not hierarchical either. If nations or people become less dependent on a hierarchy for their survival, then they are freed from the constraints of & the burden of maintaining that hierarchy or pyramid scheme. This is a reason why totalitarian governments do not want people thinking for themselves or doing things that bring independence outside of that system. A pyramid scheme needs the people to do things to claim that the pyramid scheme itself did those things. In reality, the pyramid scheme did not build the roads, people built the roads.

> If that's the sort of society anarchists envision for individuals, I have to say they're not being very ambitious!

That's a reductionist take but ok...I'm not an anarchist & take a more pragmatic view to my own circumstances but I do appreciate the contributions that the various anarchist Philosophies to contribute.

For me, it's less about envisioning a new society but more about realizing the reality of what actually is...beneath the veneer that we call society is a regime enforced with violence & the imposition of a pyramid scheme on people whether or not they want to take part in it. The government does not make anything but only transfers resources at a loss. If some people gain resources at the expense of many others, then the people gaining the resources are happy while the others who are supporting the system are downtrodden. If the downtrodden stop participating in their own exploitation, violence is committed against them to accept their servitude. Effectively, you cannot have a pyramid scheme without some sort of colonialism or slavery. When the colonized realize they can remove the imposed yoke & organize in other ways, they do. What happens then?
If you have a device on which you can run my app (streamie.co), it’ll record your camera 24/7 to a NAS or S3 and write out .mov files (also ten minute segments), but they’d be trivially combined with ffmpeg. As long as you don’t need more than three cameras, it’s all free.
Anything which requires doing is a form of deeper engagement and thereby understanding.

Much like writing, teaching and explaining concepts to others also forces us to think through more. I wonder if research around transformation of concepts from our brain into any medium (writing, visual or data) forces more thinking around the concept.

Even as I write this, I draft it, redraft it, eliminate and add to explain the idea. There is also a form of emergence in the concept as I put the thoughts to words.
Oh no, I agree with you there. Most wealthy people are not self-made, which supports your point. Maybe that's where the sleight of hand occurs -- many if not all wealthy people will pass it off as being self-made, when only a small fraction of those instances are the case. But I do think you will see hard work playing a large role in that fraction of cases.

You can use phantom-typed index types (a wrapper type per container) to recover type safety. Or at least you can when using an ECS in C++; I'm not sure how easy it is to write the wrapper types generically in Rust.
It's more of an issue with rust concepts, not syntax. I had the same issue when I wrote lisp the first time (and it ended up being a pretty complex finite state machine).

The second part of your question is bad syntax however, I agree (but still, 90% of the unscrutability of rust is caused by its concepts imho).

I've really enjoyed your articles so far.

This one took a bit of a turn - by the middle you mention that major DEs support Wayland then suddenly transition into disabling XFCE and installing Sway?

It would useful to clarify your audience at the start, and make mention that by default Gnome and KDE already automatically use Wayland if compatible (lady I checked).
It is rather strange Chrome has no extensions on mobile. I wonder if it has more to do with iOS or an insidious desire to control more of the web experience.

There cannot be feudalism without the narrative of an omnipotent god to justify class inequality.
There needs to be a strong narrative to justify why some people get free stuff and others don't.
It's worth reading in a little more detail.

One of the core points is that "Feudalism" as used outside of academic discussion loses its semantic meaning beyond being a synonym for "oppressive". And so trying to discuss when feudalism starts inevitably falls into a discussion of "when did Europe get oppressive".
I guessed so. So it’s not at all done once, never done again as the OP suggested but rather done once, now keep redoing something slightly different every fortnight and enjoy your constantly half-broken system. In a way, it’s reassuring to see that niche Linux distributions have changed so little in the decade since I last used one.
I didn’t realize they’re that strict. I have an individual account with them I occasionally use and didn’t encounter any issues with ID (I can’t even recall being ID’d tbh). That being said, I am located in Germany and have a German billing address, so maybe international customers have more issues?
Of its exact kind, yes. Generally, no. For example, there’s a clubhouse-style audio application that operates on the protocol, and there are lots of little interesting projects that interface with the protocol in some way at a high level.

The federation aspect of Bluesky/the AT-protocol hasn’t truly been launched yet as far as I can tell. If you’re familiar with BGP in DNS, the AT-protocol has a similar equivalent that will be the most expensive and resource-intensive part of the stack to run. It’s expected that there will be a few players in this space and many higher level players paying for access over time. As it currently stands, I believe that Bluesky is the only one running this part of the show right now though as they continue work on finalizing this part of the protocol and platform. They put it roughly as (paraphrasing), “federation hasn’t been switched on yet, we’re still testing,” and I think they’ve said it’s an alpha/beta state.

I’m just an outside observer with an account who has read some material and followed the on-platform discourse by the team directly. If someone more directly affiliated with Bluesky would like to critique me, I’m more than open to it.
> And yes I know that's a catch 22 because there would be no moderation, but let's put that technical detail aside for a moment

You cannot put that aside while considering this idea, because without moderation this idea is dead in the water at best, and becomes a harassment tool at worst.

Why should I? It works fine as a phone and runs apps that I need sufficiently well (and is quickly getting even better). No other phone can do that.

Example: desktop Firefox with all plugins. Yes, it scales to the small screen just fine. Can your 'smart'-phone do that? If not, maybe you should reconsider its utility as a smartphone.
