that's one of the compelling reasons to get into solar observations. if we ever get to a point of worrying about light pollution blocking our view of the sun...

my current astro rig is specific for deep sky objects, and is a very wide angle telescope. when i observe the moon, maybe 50% of the FOV is the moon, so i want a different scope for viewing solar system objects that I can then attach said solar filters.
The benefits of FP are typically described as "the more functional your program is, the better", and Haskell is the most functional turing complete language you can get.
And that's probably 6,000 tweets loaded via API, not 6,000 that you might care about. Don't they promote and show you posts from blue checkmark people even if you're not following them?
Haven't listened to that show in a bit. Did they change narrators? The guy sounds sick and it's pretty distracting :/

This whole debate is so moralistic.

What matters as far as planning is concerned is analyzing likely outcomes given your own actions. We can for the sake of the argument just take as a given that the Russian government is bloodthirsty and expansionist and wants Ukraine.

Event: Euromaidan

Likely long-term outcomes: ?

There’s not more to it than that. No need to moralize over who did what or who is culpable. This is all about one entity (America) analyzing likely outcomes given a series of events.
The weirdest thing of this era is that we don't see the big players (eg. Google) trying to take advantage of this situation and create an alternative.
It’s wild. Used to checking it frequently which any social media company would love, but can’t even scroll the feed this morning as I hit the rate limit just drinking coffee and catching up. The good thing is this will make me spend far less time on social media since it was the last one I had on my phone.
This is a very timely article, since I’ve been trying to figure out how to get Embassy to work on any of the various ESP32 boards I have this weekend.

Is there any good guide for getting Rust working on ESP32? (the old Xtensa dual core model, or the newer C3 or C6 models)

I’ve also been looking at maybe trying an RP2040 board I have, but the Getting Started[0] guide seems very incomplete. It doesn’t even seem to mention that you need a nightly build of Rust, but I’m pretty sure you do.

I also doubt that running “cargo run” is going to result in an example being loaded onto any development board, so that seems like a confusing thing to show in the guide.

These people tend to hold on until right before their reputation is totally unsalvageable so they can relaunch their personal brand with a hero narrative.
a half rack netapp filer can be a half-million dollars by itself.
What gave you the impression that it's open source?
It has been absolutely hilarious watching the death of Twitter but also concerning because Twitter served (until this terrible decision) as an important tool for popular personalities and important local services or government officials to communicate with the general public or their audiences and without that, getting important information might become a little more difficult which concerns me.
But I imagine these industries are exactly the ones who will not rely on random free rebuilds, but will shell out the RHEL subscription without flinching, and then sleep with a peace of mind. I guess not these users making this big news (Though this is a blind guess, and could be totally wrong...)
Why not use a decent headlamp? So much more comfortable.
They seem to sell one set of servers, that's the part that doesn't make sense.

Where is this magical company that needs exactly one rack of exactly one type of server? The vast majority of companies needing this much compute will also be interested in storage servers, servers filled with GPUs, special high-RAM nodes, etc. And at that point you'll also be using some kind of router for proper connectivity.

Why bother going for a proprietary solution from an unproven company for the regular compute nodes, and forcing yourself to overcommit by buying it per rack? Why not just get them from proven vendors?
12 out the 22 projects with VS2022, but that's most likely just the start, as there are dependencies shipped as binaries, which most likely require a recompilation for compatibility.

Maybe it's easier, if one uses the matching, old compiler version.
Theft requires the victim to be deprived of their property.

Nobody is deprived of their property, intellectual or otherwise, when this stuff happens, thus is it not right to call it stealing.
There's some controversy on that: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/jun/23/rhel-gpl-analysis...
Which Twitter replacement are people moving to (edit:looks like Bluesky if they can keep the servers up)?

I’m a big fan of Elon and what he’s built so I wasn’t planning on leaving, but can’t even use it now. Mastodon still seems too complicated to get the masses on. Where will non-tech folks go?
Very true, although I assume that most or all of those listed have their own form of ITAR. Space (mostly defense) is inherently siloed to country borders.
It's a massive blow to all those who actually built connections on Twitter instead of just following BTS and Taylor Swift.
It probably doesn’t help that he surrounds himself with these weird sycophants. I mean, Jason Calacanis! I’d completely forgotten he even existed. You cannot convince me that his involvement was for any other reason than he’s really into Musk.

And the bluetick-reply-promotion thing will only have reinforced that. Presumably the reason he’s so keen to encourage all this is some sort of inadequacy, so the “hurting inside” thing still kinda works, mind you.
Twitter Is DDOSing Itself
Why write about launches? We could wait until it starts gathering data because that’s what really matters, right?

Given that it’s a rocket launch, crediting the company that did the launch makes some sense.

Had my first baby last year, and it struck me how often I saw this on social media. Especially on LinkedIn.

(I can remember one example irritated me to no end, some CTO posted a pictures of his wife working from home with two babies trying to play with her. Really poor taste IMO).

I can understand being proud and happy about the new arrival and wanting to shout it from the roof tops. But my logical side said "she's too young to decide if she wants her picture on the internet".
None of that airplanes, except perhaps a few very secret ones, is going to fight in Ukraine. As other comments explain, the important point is what air defense weapons can be sent.
Do things over and over. Use velcro ties. Think through the entire cable run in advance. Think the logic of the run. What has to plug into what first? What can stay unplugged while you manage the run? What will need to be unplugged in the future more often from what end most likely? Things like that.

I’ve seen multiple unskippable consecutive 15 second ads on the YouTube app on the Apple TV, and I’ve pretty sure I’ve also seen unskippable ads longer than that. I just don’t use the app anymore and plugged an old MacBook from 2011 into the tv and with Firefox and brave. My wife actually prefers that to an Apple TV now.
The main factor that influences language choice is not knowing anything else. For large numbers of new programmers, that narrows it down to one, and all other factors become moot. For most others, there is some additional reasoning regarding which of two or three to select.
It sounds like they are facing a novel denial of service attack that was near to the point of being able to imperil their service. This is an obviously temporary remediation to keep the systems up, not a new policy for the site. And all of that falls right under the purview of the CTO.
Respectfully, my allusions to genocide were not ramblings or tortured examples.

Facebook is alleged to have, and has been sued for, facilitating the messaging that aided and drastically accelerated organized mass murder [in direct contravention of their own stated guidelines]. My comparisons to both Nazi and Rwandan messaging examples was in was not an example of Godwin's Law; it is at the heart of the legal cases against Facebook.

Please take a look at this article[0], which makes the connections explicitly clear, explains why Facebook's moderation may be liable under international law, and provides links to cases in which people have been held guilty of war crimes for inciting genocide on the radio, not actually murdering people themselves.

All moderation is better when accompanied by descriptions of going hither and thither.
I guess testing with broken licensing terms is a valid usecase, thank you. But does that mean most of the uproar is caused by this root cause? This noise is actually coming from actual RHEL subscribers, who don't want to pay such throwaway systems (rightfully), and not from non-RHEL subscribers?
Haha, thanks for the reply, just seen this. Nicely summarized!

> What can be copyrighted are the header files itself: these you can't redistribute, as you can't redistribute the binary that is linked to the executable.

Note that while the exact header file is covered by copyright, the "information"/"facts" the header file describes (e.g. said function names, parameters, constants, etc) is not - at least as far as EU is concerned anyway (BTW the case you most likely have in mind wasn't for substituting proprietary parts but for interoperability between parts - i.e. it would still be valid for substituting one proprietary part with another proprietary part). This is also why different compilers for Windows have a "windows.h" (or language equivalent) with each having its own copyright but describing the exact same API.

(obviously this is for unsubstitutable fact-like information a header file contains and does not apply for any code like macros or inline methods like in C++ classes/templates)
Isn't Musk personally liable for a lot of this burnt money? In this scenario, does Musk gain something or was he just outsmarted?
Bluesky is having some degraded performance due to "record-high traffic" (according to them).

As a casual user, it's noticeable how many people are posting now.
My theory is the demise of Twitter is intentional, giving people a voice on a platform that competes with the MSM is too uncomfortable for those at the top who had control for decades. They want it like they had it before, where they had total control of all media dissemination. Consider right now certain words and phrases get automatically shadowbanned. That many far left political commentators have been outright banned. The goal of this system is monopoly, control of mass media is part of that.
Good example of irritating comment that led to the odyssey above. What you say also appears to not be true. The correct assertion is maybe: If you can find an instance, and if the instance is configured to allow anonymous, then you can browse communities. Since nothing is ranked or searchable, then if you're willing to do that for N instances and M communities, enduring server errors/login screens the whole way, maybe you can find decent content after weeks of brute-force labor. This isn't practical for someone who just wants to spend a few minutes finding a replacement for /r/math and /r/physics or whatever.

For the short term at least, since discoverability is so broken, I think those who want to advocate for Lemmy will be better served by just linking to content or curating indexes of active communities. It's not that useful to anyone if the focus is always about pretending everything is fine, or presenting prospective users with totally useless machine-generated indexes where we cannot tell the test-servers from production.
I’d say there’s certainly a chance based on the specs being quoted. If we do some very rough back-of-napkin math and figure enterprise grade NVMe storage is something like $100 per TB, that’s plausibly $100k on storage drives alone
Well they already use cruise missiles, so....
Not quite. A traditional mainframe is highly integrated, to the point of allowing hotswapping of CPU and memory. Oxide seems to be a fairly standard collection of x64 hardware, with a proprietary management software sauce.

“cargo run” does in fact flash the dev board. Cargo allows configuring a custom runner, which is what the embassy examples do [0].

I find the scraping explanation plausible. Some search engine bots are aggressive. With all the AI hype, I first thought of Microsoft Bing scraping Twitter at full datacenter speed to suck in more information for OpenAI.

Twitter imposes limits on the number of tweets users can read amid outage
Whereas legal opinions use them either as a citation dump (known as “collecting cases”), as a place to bracket issues that are not being decided, or as a place to put a substantive response to a separate opinion in the case (if you’re an appellate court).
From a commodity hardware perspective I'm not sure there is much to be excited about but if it's a meaningful better and cost competitive IaaS maybe that is exciting. Also you are probably going to want GPU support which may be hard with their super customized offering.

If I were to do a bare metal deployment I'd look at kubernetes + kubevirt + a software defined storage provider. Then you get a common orchestration layer for VMs, containers, or other distribute workloads (ML training/inference) but don't need to pay the Vmware Tax and you'd be using a common enough primitive that you can move workloads around to 'burst' to the cheapest cloud as needed.
Can't speak for the big advertisers, but as a small business owner, I'm more likely to spend ad money on platforms that take an active stance against bots. In general, advertisers (should) care about impressions by unique users, not total number of views.

I'm not sure about requiring an account to view contents though. That to me will just kill total usage across the board.
If Meta were smart, they'd immediately shift away from their Metaverse nonsense and use this as a massive opportunity to do things they are pretty good at (hate them or love them.) I know they are working on a Twitter competitor, but they need to find a way to help get the followers they once had back, if they were to switch. They could even ultimately challenge Reddit. I know that would not be an ideal outcome, but as a business with that core competency, I'd be putting a huge effort to take advantage of all of this.
I'm always a bit surprised how few people realized how many "nice things" from the last decade plus have been heavily subsidized by VC money (which itself was created from low interest rates).

Every cool startup that people loved started by burning cash. This made Uber cheap, DoorDash cheap, Youtube helpful and creative, Facebook about connecting with classmates, Twitter a free public forum, Reddit a playground for forums of all possible varieties, Imgur an ad-free alternative to ad-laden image hosting sites, 0% loan available for purchasing anything, etc, etc.

But all of this was possible because all of these companies spent more than they made. In fact, most of these listed still do spend more than they make but they're going through contortions trying to change that and many might not survive it. For those that do their products will unquestionably be inferior to what we had in the 2010s.

There's this belief that technology can only go forward, only get better, but what I think we'll see as we move into the 2020s is a growing realization that things were substantially better in the 2010s... but only because we were putting everything on a credit card and not worrying about the bill that eventually had to be paid.

Their use of "bet" has taken some getting used to.
did they tell you they are not going to extend an offer, or just ghost you? makes me wonder if they somehow forgot about your negotiation or something? I've never heard of a company doing this so I am similarly baffled, and hope the job market isn't so skewed in favor of the employer that they are willing to recind that easily

still, barring more information I would assume it's not the salary ask and it was some other reason (i.e. changed their mind)

I've worked on games before. We ported our game to havock between versions. That took 8 months for one dev. The code review was 3 weeks. Ripping ours out was a month by itself. There were several libraries like that. The sound system was similar and we had to upgrade it every game which was similar work to havock. Heck there was a really simple font to bitmap lib/utility we used and that would have taken several months to replace. A month to rip out.

I moved us from PlayStation 3 to PlayStation 4 for our debugging UI and literally just removing all the calls to the old debugging UI system was something like 2 weeks my only goal there was to get it to not compile. Wiring up all 3,900 debug UI connection points to the engine with access to all the rest of the game engine library and having written parts of both systems in the engine and the debugging library and the new UI library still took me almost 2 weeks I did it with both systems working at the same time which was actually easier than doing a full rip out. The studio I worked at tried really hard not to use proprietary libraries and it was a big deal for us using havoc but we needed to they ended up going back for the next title. They also wrapped literally every library with shims to make it easier to Port but things like physics engines are just basically impossible to wrap fully as our sound engines and font libraries the implementation details leak into everywhere.

The suggestion you're making is a very large amount of work probably on the level of several engineers for several years on a Triple-A title now you're talking like a million dollars for the company to open source it and locking up some good devs for a year or more. There's literally no economic trade off in doing that unless you can come up with a way to make one.

Porting would be an okay economic trade off there.
I genuinely don’t understand what he’s doing, twitter is an ad supported businesses and and how is making it so that no one can see ads going to work? Engagement is going to absolutely tank when no one can use the site
