> A problem with the system of having a domain as a username is that people can claim it who don’t have access to that username. For example, someone was able to get the AWS S3 domain as their handle!

That isn't necessarily an issue with using a domain as a username, it was only possible because you could verify ownership by putting something in a subdirectory they defined which was available as an S3 bucket name (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35820815). If you allow verification only from the root directory or via DNS records this shouldn't be a problem AFAICT.
Sadly Lemmy’s implementation is quite poor. The owner of each instance can choose which other instances to federate with. So shortly after the Reddit exodus, many are already forming tight ideological bubbles. For example, Beehaw defederated with almost every other instance because they want an ideological safe space. This despite the fact that the protocol already gives individuals plenty of tools to block and avoid users and communities they don’t like. So there is a strong push to control the experience for all users in an instance, instead of allowing individuals that control. And I see a lot of support for this model in other, “less” authoritarian instances like lemmy.world.

I think many people are just very authoritarian today, and don’t appreciate the internet as we knew it 20 years ago. They’re not content to control how they interact with the internet. They want to control how everyone interacts.

Which is based on an open-standard, interoperates with Mastodon and is from a company that has the battle scars to prove that they can operate a global service in a mature and a reasonable way.

Hit it on the head there. Taking photos takes you outside the experience. It's the reason I take very few photos when I'm traveling. (I can understand ppl wanting to take them in that context, but it does make your travel different.)
Delusion and cognitive dissonance run deep for a large chunk of the JS world.
As for downsides: I wouldn't be surprised if your body adapted to the higher oxygen levels that you provide it with the concentrator, resulting in reduced productivity when you're not connected to it.

Just like people who live at high altitudes adapt to the lower oxygen levels, except in reverse.
Tbf in EU tech salaries are...underwhelming. And before you mention it, no, my insurance costs (which are minimal) do not justify the $90000 or so pay gap in similar position in the similar branch of the company between Spain or US that I was being offered.

When I was interviewing post-graduation in Uk and Germany I consistently got offers between 27 and 50k Euros/Quid. That imho, was too low compared to what companies in US were willing to pay me.

The literal example shown in the README has targetlang set to nodejs. Maybe it's a bit odd to specify the runtime instead of the language, but in practice, that's maybe more useful.
> I think more and more people are getting fed up with centralized platforms / not owning their data.

Given the meteoric rise of TikTok, I don't think there is any sign of this being true outside a small techy bubble. At least, not as a percentage (that is, the growth in the number of people who are fed up with centralized platforms is dwarfed by the growth in the number of people who are fine with centralized platforms / not owning their data).
What a terribly named project.

Thank you for the reply! I've had two different CO2 monitors and feel like I definitely notice a difference between when the level is 1000 and when it's 400-600. In fact both my girlfriend and my father have noticed the difference in "stuffiness" when I have the windows open vs closed, and that was in separate houses/apartments. But I think I pay way closer attention to it than most other people.

"I suspect that you probably feel more clear-headed outside because there is wind and nature and distractions that aren't an LED screen."

I definitely agree that those things make a difference in how I feel, but I think that the CO2 makes a difference even at those lower levels. I'll say this: if I drink coffee, I can power through it / not notice it. But if I'm not using caffeine, I'm a lot more sensitive to it.

"I think an interesting experiment would be to use a CO2 scrubber to remove carbon dioxide"

Thank you for that idea! I didn't know a CO2 scrubber was a thing, so this is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to get from the HN crowd.
Last time someone made this claim about "probable billions of dollars" here, I asked for examples and the best anyone could show was a $10k donation to a tiny charity run by one guy that campaigned against offshore wind farms, with a stated justification that there were better ways to help the environment.

Can anyone show an accounting of these billions? Because you can't spend that kind of money without leaving a lot of paper trails.

Well, for one you can download all data on the network (posts, likes, follows, ...) using a free public API, even in real-time. If you want to try Bluesky without an invite code, you can run your own PDS (personal data server) today and federate with the official sandbox network, there are already 100 servers doing that: https://atscan.net/pds
Launching federatable(?) protocol and platform as non-federated, centralized one doesn't spawn confidence in me. The limited registration policy appears to be fueling the desire and excitement by creating a sense of exclusivity that amplifies the demand and anticipation. Reminds me of South Park's "Cartmanland" episode[1].

There's also the fact that Bluesky is run by Jack, who founded and managed pre-Musk Twitter "1.0" and funded Musk's Twitter "2.0". I don't have high expectations nor hopes.

In a properly decentralised model you’ll be free to subscribe to privately created block lists, which include users and instances considered “unsafe.” You’d subscribe to that and go about your day.

The authoritarian approach is that you want to ensure no one else sees what you don’t like. You don’t want to give them the choice.

What is that marketplace?
The article is fine, but the link in its Footnote 3 is the really interesting part: https://www.ans.org/news/article-1556/tmi-operators-did-what...

It's a story from the Davis Besse NPP operators, who happened to face the exact same fault as caused the accident at Three Mile Island... and made it through OK... except they experienced it first, 18 months earlier.

So why, when this happened a second time, did no one learn from the first occurrence? Why were people more worried about assigning blame, substandard training materials, and taking cover from lawsuits, than about ensuring this could not happen again?

THIS is why we cannot have nice things. It does not matter whether the technology can or cannot be implemented safely. It matters whether the human organizations that support that technology are up to the task of managing something where a single mistake can ruin tens of millions of people's lives, with consequences for ten thousand years. It's not like one plane dropping out of the sky, ruining 500 people's lives... this is a much longer term problem. And probabilistic risk assessment, as technically correct as it is when it gets perfect input information, is absolutely horrid at driving humans to make the right choices.
I actually had the same thought. For that reason I wasn't going to aim for higher-than-normal oxygen levels, I just want the equivalent of what I get when I'm out hiking in the forest, because I feel like that's the best air I've ever breathed.
As others have said, look for Zigbee devices. I have an Osram SomethingOrOther, that connects to my Hue bridge, which isn't connected to the internet. Philips makes a similar plug.

The fact is that the Hue bridge supports connecting to a cloud for control from anywhere, so they'll advertise that since it's what many people are after. But it works perfectly fine offline, and you can manage it via Home Assistant, for example.
You want me to list specific solutions, but that’s not what I’m here to do.

Your positive discrimination increases the total amount of discrimination. Therefore it does not qualify as a policy that decreases discrimination.
One reason I haven't heard yet is that the work gets harder.

Before I went to Oxford, I'd never run into anything mathy that I couldn't understand. I don't mean that I got it right the first time, though that tended to happen, but in high school I either just got it with no problem, or I understood the answer when I saw the explanation. This goes for both math/science class itself and math contests that I enjoyed doing. No real mysteries, either trivial mistakes or some angle you hadn't seen, but well within reach.

Then in uni I would run into problem sheets where I not only could not get the answer, I couldn't even find a page in the ten books that seemed relevant. Neither could my study partners. I'd show up at the tutorial and the tutor would throw up some equations that made it seem like a five minute job, when I'd sat in the library for 5 hours having discovered nothing. I'm talking something like a 10 problem sheet where between me and my buddies we managed 2 correct answers, 2 somewhat close, and 6 complete mysteries.

This can be a shock. People react in different ways, and one reaction is to not try.

In the end the thing to do is... study harder. When you understand these problems in depth you are no longer doing an equation fishing expedition, you actually understand what you are looking for.

Poor people aren't using Amazon because Amazon hasn't had the best prices online in years. You can get the same stuff for much cheaper on AliExpress or Walmart's retail and 3rd party marketplaces, or one of the dozens of other marketplaces online.
> I think the only case they might have is that security measures taken (regardless of declared value) were substandard

I don’t see how it matters to the client though; the security measures could be entirely non-existent, but that’s why the insurance policy exists. The quality of security should only impact the rate at which insurance has to be paid out, so it’s already the insurance companies’ problem and really only impacts them

The 80% Abstraction
You can run your own instance in the official sandbox network today: https://atproto.com/blog/federation-developer-sandbox

There are of course significantly less users compared to the main instance, but it should give you some confidence that federation dev work is on the right track.
The business was “upended”. I think that’s literally the only layer to it.
There is another problem. Instances are already fracturing and forming tight ideological bubbles. See Beehaw. This means that to access all federated content, one will need to have many accounts on many instances. This is really poor UX.
I still don't understand the point of ActivityPub. Everyone one wants every social media, blog, news site to implement it. Why? RSS already exists to aggregate all of those into a single place. And having interacted with infosec.exchange, I came to the conclusion that long-form content doesn't mix well with microblogging and that Mastodon is a shit interface for it. I have a completely different software for my RSS feeds with a completely different way of browsing through content that works well for it.
A continuation is a function that, when called, jumps back to a specific part of the program that was frozen (meaning current memory, the call stack, the line number). So it can't really be stored. If your game state was stored in a db, you'd still have to load it memory to perform operations on it. Those operations, if using continuations, would then stick around in memory while waiting the continuation to be resumed. If it's a multi-player game, then you'd be in real trouble as your continuation could end up with stale data.

Game state has to be propagated from the server to the client so the player knows what is happening where-as continuations as used in this article are more about avoiding this propagation (the hidden field in the example is replaced by dispatch-table tag which acts as a session id / location in the dispatch-table for finding the continuation function)

I don’t even know if doing that kind of thing would work today though, given how many spammers and such trawl the internet. Probably some small number of people would grab every invite for themselves, instead of taking only one invite each.

> but I value my privacy

I guess the way you abstracted will probably reduce your privacy (a tiny bit). At least I have not seen anybody write "<X>" instead of just X in this usecase.

So either this is very specific to you, or is very common in your circles so you do it too. Both of which reduce the number of potential candidate if somebody tries to doxx you.

Additional you (or your editor) uses “” over " which also reduces the number of candidates.

(Not trying to attack you here, just thought it was notable)
I'm sure they mean DLs, yes - this is the one thing I always bemoan that markdown lacks, even more so than tables.

People are absolutely scraping the invite codes. It's not even hard considering that they're all /^bsky-social-[a-z0-9]{5}-[a-z0-9]{5}$/. That's why if you're begging for a Bluesky invite, you should ensure that people can actually contact you privately (which you can't do on HN).
That is a good question, but on the two specific occasions when something of this sort did not make me leave instantly, there were very specific factors at play. I cannot comment on the first situation as that would require an extensive post with an obscene amount of context on my background, politics in my country, the people involved, weighing up the public good, etc. Simply, would go beyond a HN comment and I feel I couldn't do the situation justice anyway for someone who wasn't following local news at the time these things happened.

The second instance, I feel I can comment on, though allow me to leave out details to spare the people involved public embarrassment.

There, the changes, whilst annoying and born out of a complete misunderstanding of a core part of their alleged competency (Imagine a Botanist telling you leaves are always blue because that is the color of the sky), were not going to break anything, just look silly and create unnecessary, but compensated, work.

In that case, I also viewed the specific project finally launching as vitally important to our user base and wanted the results to go public for their benefit, so the decision was made to document and execute on their requests, so we could go live.

Of course, two weeks before our go live date, they changed their requests again ("leaves are not blue, they are violet because of the wave length of light") and had a hard time understanding that changes can have a knock on effect and some things are a bit more complex than Find and Replace. If I had been forced to make those changes at that point, I'd have packed my bags.

Simply said, when my work has the potential to benefit users and I know that arguing, even though I am correct, will lead to massive delays, I'd rather just put that silly request in writing and deal with these things after the users have received what has been worked on. Try to explain when someone is wrong, but if that doesn't work, finish the project, argue later.

Of course, if after the fact responsibility isn't taken, that finished project gets mentioned in my CV for the next employer.

Some of that sounds like bloat to me. The fact that Twitter is still here and building features faster with 20% of the workforce may indicate that a lot of what was thought needed really wasn't. You might point to the current outage or other bugs but you have to ask yourself, how serious is it really and is it worth 400% more employees to mitigate them?
The sense of stuffiness can be due to humidity, mold, or probably just various household smells.

If your sensors are able to do remote logging, you can do your own double blind test and cover up the displays for a week and log what you feel like the CO2 level might be, and then at the end of the week compare it to the logged levels.

Either way, you might consider an air exchanger - either commercial or homemade[0] that can efficiently move air from outside to inside, without much heat loss.

What if the Tsunami had hit Tokyo? How big would that disaster have been?

Sendai is a much smaller city and it had over 100k destroyed buildings, 15k dead or missing, and well over 100k without shelter. Estimates of the damage to infrastructure is estimated in the $Trillion range (over $300B spent in direct govt rebuilding incentives).

Maybe we shouldn't build large cities next to water since we're not technologically advanced enough to deal with natural disasters?

So much of what the users want from social media is not technologically innovative and thus doesn't require the profit motive to fuel that innovation.
