I have no illusions about pulling RV trailers with an EV. I know about the range hit trailers cause.

And yet it "works" and as the OP mentioned for a long time. Often we get so conditioned to a security response we forget that basic security often relies upon a "simple" and inexpensive solution. Using DNS in this way is a best effort scenario that offloads work to servers designed for this purpose and for an open source project so you use what you have.

> What advantages does a mastodon feed provide?

Allowing anonymous users to read posts, vs Twitter which requires a log in these days.

-----------

Lets reverse the discussion. What does Twitter offer Wikipedia that Mastodon does not? Since Wikipedia's engagement is largely readers / followers with very little comments, the read-only experience is king, is it not?

Mastodon therefore offers a better reading experience, as it doesn't have advertisements, it isn't going to randomly go down (stability of Mastodon has improved a lot while the stability of Twitter is declining), running your own Mastodon instance allows for any size posts (no need for Wikipedia to pay Twitter Blue to get 2000-character posts. Wikipedia can just configure Mastodon to allow 2000 or 20,000-character posts), etc. etc.

Why should Wikipedia stick to 250-character posts on a website that can't be read by anonymous users that will shove ads into your face in between posts?

> YouTube

Does Wikipedia even have substantial video content to share on Youtube?

> Instagram

I guess you mean Threads, which is the closest analog to Mastodon and Twitter. I haven't used Threads though so I'll defer to other posters.

> Facebook

Way too closed and insular. Facebook is focused on smaller groups and smaller social networks. Its like the "login" problem for Twitter but a hundred-times worse.

A lot depends on your use-case and the kind of website you're using this on.

I would find this very useful on a site like Wikipedia where I often know the section I want to jump to before landing on the page.
(e.g. I want to see the number of goals Messi has scored each season at Barcelona and I know there's always a table at the bottom of most wiki articles regarding historical stats for soccer-players).
I could see from the mini-map where the tables are jump straight to it.

Like you said, the the text is too small to make out where you're going or navigating. But most often I find myself visiting sites that I've visited in the past and for those I have a good mental image of what the page already looks like. I can use the hints from a minimap to jump to the relevant section of the page.

But the GMs consistently better than me by a lot, of course, especially in overall calculation and in knowing openings and endgame theory.
Why do you need a mouse to write software?

I didn't use a mouse since at least 2006. Before that I was mandated to use one by the company I was working for but I probably didn't. Why should I lose time to move my hand to grab the mouse when it's already close to the touchpad?

A goroutine really is implemented as a coroutine though. It's just that without this runtime optimization, there hasn't been a way to interact with them without letting a multithreaded scheduler manage their execution.

I don't remember where I came across this, but many years ago I saw python-style generators termed "semi-coroutines" which I'm a fan of. Python (frustratingly) doesn't implement them this way, but the beauty of generators is that by limiting the scope where execution can be suspended to the highest-level stack frame, you can statically determine how much memory is needed for the (semi-)coroutine, so it doesn't require a single allocation.

Zig takes that a step farther by considering recursive functions second-class, which lets the compiler keep track of the maximum stack depth of any function, and thereby allow you to allocate a stack frame for any non-recursive function inside of another stack frame, enabling zero-allocation full coroutines, as long as the function isn't recursive.

That would... probably be overkill for Go, since marginal allocations are very cheap, and you're already paying the runtime cost for dynamic stack size, so the initial allocation can be tiny.

I would love to see full proper coroutine support make it to Go, freeing users of the overhead of the multithreaded scheduler on the occasions where coroutine patterns work best. I remember back in 2012 or so, looking at examples of Go code that showed off goroutine's utility as control flow primitives even when parallelism wasn't desired and being disappointed that those patterns would likely be rare on account of runtime overhead, and sure enough I hardly ever see them.
Several friends of mine had their WhatsApp completely hacked. Basically, hacker would spam recovery, which results in a phone call to the victim. If the victim doesn’t pick up the phone, the recovery code goes to voicemail. Hacker accesses voice mail (password protected yes, but for lots of people it’s a birth year, 1234, 0000, or last 4 digits of their phone), and voila they have access to your WhatsApp. They can’t see your messages but can see all the groups you’re in and message those.

Completely preventable by having WhatsApp 2FA enabled.

Binary data simply means that each datum encodes exactly one of two states. We represent them as 0s and 1s, but that's just an abstraction of convenience - physically, that maps to something like "high voltage" and "low voltage", or "dark" and "light", or "on" and "off", depending on the physical medium.

We could have three states - "high voltage", "medium voltage" and "low voltage" - but the advantage of having exactly two is that it makes it harder to mistake one state for another (e.g. if voltage fluctuates within a specific range). If the measurement range for each datum is (0, 100), you can decide that anything below 50 is "low voltage" and anything below 100 is "high voltage". You can also do the same thing with (0,33), <33,66), <66,100), but that requires assuming more precise tools throughout the entire pipeline. When we talk about bits getting flipped (the entire reason that checksums exist in wire protocols), that's the reason: the medium conducting the signal is imprecise, and sometimes the reading is off.

Traditionally, this represents a tradeoff between density and fidelity. If your system has high enough fidelity, you can take advantage of the additional precision and distinguish between more states, representing additional information.

If your system has 8 states (0,8.3), <8.3, 16.6)... etc., you can look at this as an octal system, or you can think of it as a binary system in which a read/write error affects an entire byte, rather than a single bit.

At the end of the day, this is a question of signal processing - binary representation is a convenient abstraction that allows us to understand the way that we're interpreting the signals we're reading, but it's fundamentally an arbitrary choice.
I also have a first gen Framework.

I've used the following recently:

- Framework 1st gen
- Dell XPS 13
- Macbook Pro 14" (m1)
- Dell Precision 5570

I wouldn't say that the framework is perfect, there are a number of minor complaints I have with it.

However, it holds its own, and I really do love it, especially while running linux.

I hope that Framework the company continues to support the early models with new mainboards and parts. If so, I'll be a very loyal customer.

Oh, and the fact that I know I'll be able to replace the battery when the time comes is a beautiful feeling!
What about:

- Your access to mRNA vaccines

- Your access to cleaner air due to electric car adoption

- Ditto for energy security and renewable sources of electricity

- Your chance of dying in a car going down due to new safety features

- Your access to crazy advanced cancer treatments that are making progress at almost miraculous paces

- Your much improved ability to work from home, cutting out ~2 hours of commuting each day

By every metric, the world is DRAMATICALLY better today for virtually everyone than it was in 1960, and the same from 1960 to 1900, and so on.

The pace things are improving is exponential.

No it doesn't. Growth in the economy has to increase real wages, and real wages need to keep pace with housing, food, healthcare, etc increases in order to be meaningful.

More jobs are only good if they actually provide a living wage.
For 3 I think it's Typescript and Dart. There's also stanza (1) which is a lot like Python but it's not being used outside of one startup (disclaimer: I used to work there). Ultimately I think optional typing on top of a garbage collected language is the answer.

Have you tried to park on the street in NYC?

Parking is most certainly not widely available. If spots exist but all of them are always taken, that means zero availability.

A few ways to use it are:

1. Install in your global profile with the CLI:

nix profile install nixpkgs/3276b62e6639096014652132f4824ac2b4f2a2c4#nodejs

2. In a flake.nix, you can set an input with the nixpkgs commit hash, like:

inputs = {
node-nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/3276b62e6639096014652132f4824ac2b4f2a2c4";
};

...and then use nodejs from that `node-nixpkgs` input to get the exact version you wanted

What benefits do you get from being open source other than the OS stamp of approval?

Perhaps the solution is to just go closed source. I'm all for open source, but I'm not the biggest fan of open core or source available. All it does it hurt the business with little benefit to me. I'd rather you make more money and support me or go full altruistic and make it truly open source.

Yes, I was informed by Apple Support that this was a maintenance issue. That doesn't satisfy me. The entire premise of Advanced Data Protection hinges on the promise that it only your devices can access your data.

The economic engine of the Eurozone, Germany, keeps stepping on the brakes because they are so obsessed with their competitiveness and running huge trade surpluses. If the German consumers would finally be allowed to a bigger share of all the gains from their productivity it would be good for the whole of Europe as the biggest problem is weak demand. But no, we can't have that because then their trade surplus would shrink. Never mind that all the other EU countries are supposed to absorb a big part of that trade surplus while being scolded for not being as frugal as Germany.

A few of my memories from working in the parking biz:

1. We were bidding smart parking meters to a city in California who insisted that, per the ADA, they should be accessible to the blind. We suggested to them that blind folks tend to not park or drive cars very often.

2. Seeing damage photos from a customer's parking meter where somebody had inserted dynamite up the coin/ticket return tray. The explosion buckled the body of the machine, but incredibly the reinforcement and the lock held. The [paper] money inside got destroyed, though.

3. The angry customer reaction when a co-worker's "Get bent, loser" dummy/debug message accidentally found its way into production.

4. Having to certify the accuracy of a parking meter's onboard clock because it printed a boat launch ticket that was used as evidence in the case of a guy who killed his pregnant wife and dumped her in the SF Bay.

As a former hobbyist that is now working a lot with RHEL as a sysadmin, I was really surprised to learn how little advantage there actually is with buying Red Hat Support.

You are always limited to their opinionated decisions on what your deployment should look like* (or risk losing support), but at the same time, the support you actually get is next to none.

If I can't fix it myself, it ain't gonna be fixed.

At this point, I don't know what we are paying for anyways.

*As an example, more recent versions of RHEL only allow the use of NetworkManager for permanent network configuration. In a production hypervisor system, NM is completely unsuitable in my opinion. It's full of footguns and that will bite us at some point
you can move to europe, buy real estate easily and live above the local's means because US income is so much higher. In fact thousands of americans are doing it in the past few years

EDIT: Also, a large part of "quality of life" has more to do with the structure of european country populations. They are old , cohesive and mostly conformist societies that tend to help each other in times of need, something that the US, which is individualistic country made of immigrants can never do. This creates a more safe environment to live, but it is not an excuse for lackluster economic performance.
