Of course I know about the sanctions. Do they negate the equity act? Do you know about any clauses there that forbid paying people for their work based on signed contract agreement? Or forbidding signing such agreements with people that were born in Russia?

I would not be asking questions if I know that I fall under any such restrictions. I am not a government worker, working and living abroad. My name is not in the sanction list. I have friends living and working in the UK who have Russian nationality. Those are regular people, getting their salary and paying their taxes. The same is the case for me, however I do not live in UK specifically.

I would have understood this, if I was asking to pay me on my Russian bank account, or to a Russian legal entity. But I am just a natural person, how could sanctions apply here?

Is that true? Perhaps Wework did / does some unique things I'm unaware of.

As per [0] - co-working spaces started ~25 years ago, and by the time WeWork was founded (2010) there were at least 300 co-working spaces operating in the USA.

This reads more as an attack on an imagined political class than a root cause analysis of a system's failure. While the author doesn't actually suggest alternatives or solutions, I feel like they wouldn't actually fare better at fixing the issues described. Right wing politics way of fixing mass transit projects is to cancel them to put more cars on the road. It also tends to exacerbate the difference between rich and poor.

What's this crap doing here?
Your property taxes are adjusted to changes in the value of the land. So, you might owe twice as much on some investment property after you build a hotel, but capital gains on that land isn’t assessed every year.

Arguably it’s simply a question of practicality as nobody can accurately assess how much a painting is worth until it’s sold. Still, it definitely incentivizes bonds which pay on maturity rather than every year.
The Prototype Trap
Not to be confused with the AMD/Xilinx UltraRAM present in their FPGA fabric.
Not sure how you can say they're similar.

Simplicity and ease of use vary a lot between them.
Simply no reason for skilled labour to go to Japan and learn Japanese than to go towards the West with higher salaries, no language requirements other than English and easier immigration paths.

There is also the terrible image of the Japanese work culture which is not going away anytime soon.
Ah, so you pulled it from IPFS. That's the usual experience.
<nod> thanks, yeah I was actually a student at UCF where some OCCC winners were instructors (David Van Brackle and Mark Schnitzius, if memory serves).

And, I actually used `cfront` in my first job, and used the parameter to see the C it spit out as a way to learn how C++ did some things. Pretty interesting, if, as you say, nearly unreadable to humans!
Revisiting Linux kernel's preemption models
>the child pretty clearly died of illness

Do you know more about this case than was written in the article? Because as far as I know, shaking remains a possible explanation for our observations -- what was "junk" about the science was that it jumped to conclusions too hastily.

>If you don't have evidence a crime exists its pretty meaningless to speak to someone's motivation to commit it.

This claim doesn't hold up to scrutiny. We don't know if a crime exists, because there are multiple possible explanations for our observations, but that certainly doesn't imply that a crime did not occur. Motivation is important here. (Based on other comments, the defence claimed the partner is unreliable, which is also important here, if true. But the point remains that if a credible witness made such a claim about him, that would be important in determining the likelihood that a crime took place.)
My better half has been on Wegovy (same drug, but indicated for weight loss) for several months. No diarrhea, but definitely nausea that peaks on the injection day and then slowly recedes. Over time, the overall level has decreased.

The effect of the drug has been for her to not always be thinking about food, and the amount of food required to feel full is dramatically reduced. It also forces slower eating because passing the full point results in the same very uncomfortable "I ate too much" feeling that used to require much more food before.
Well, I guess it depends on your use-case. As a general and public discovery / providing / downloading network, it's been kind of overloaded for the last years, and it finally seems like Protocol Labs is putting some efforts to solving some of the most biting issues.

In this case, it's about the process of adding content to the network. It was neigh impossible to add large directories/files as your connections got overloaded with provide messages. This seems to batch things up and parallelize better, so should at least make it easier to add content and subsequently find it for the peers who want to.

But, the implementation still works very well when you're doing your own networks, which I think is a much better use of the protocol anyways. So when building a application with IPFS, you're using your own network only composed of nodes that are actually relevant to your application, instead of connecting to the public DHT.

Unless your scale is really big, it'll work a lot better than using the already huge public DHT.

That’s what Passpoint (aka Hotspot2)’s Online Sign Up is supposed to do. Main network is protected by WPA2/3-Enterprise (aka EAP), and there’s the OSU open network where you can get signed up and get a profile installed for the full main network. And every modern device supports EAP these days.

That's a key factor, indeed. I also believe in trying to provide a good work experience for helping people grow professionally not only at our company but something they can bring to their next companies.

> Similarly, performance is measured against The Next Role as opposed to the current job (...) suggesting you'd want it, rather than your actual role

Good point. I also noticed this general feeling of reportees that if they have a good review for their current role they'll often feel like it wasn't a good review at all because everyone is always aiming for the next role. I always make an effort to congratulate everyone that did a good job in their current role to compensate for this.
This is not the same. ggm is referring to a buyer and seller agreeing to a trade, the seller providing the product or service, and then the buyer reneging on the payment in order to extract concessions because the legal and headache costs of pursuing full payment via courts would presumably not be worth it for the seller.

This is trying to arbitrage the inefficiency of courts. Technically, everyone in society can do this, but it raises the costs of transacting considerably and reduces societal trust.

A high trust society where you do not have to worry about dragging everyone to court or having to fund courts for many more cases will waste less resources on dispute resolution.

In TV, the buyer (cable or satellite TV business) and the seller (content owner) never had an agreement after a certain date, so the channels disappearing is not a similar situation.
Yep, we only go in on these days.

Abstraction, indirection, and Sevareid's Law (2015)
People who are serious about this topic should start by studying past examples. Once upon a time all software was local first, and there's plenty to study there about what changed and why.

The masters of this game are Apple. Bar none. All their software is local first and asynchronously syncs to iCloud (optionally!) using CloudKit, which is a relatively consistent replicated database. This design is hard to master but worth starting with. They also support P2P that works (Bonjour and friends). Apple can do this because they're firmly rooted in the software development milieu of the 80s and 90s. They never got the memo about the web taking over and revel in writing high quality desktop apps. Users love them too. Developers like to pretend this ecosystem doesn't really exist outside of mobile, but it very much does.

There are a few things that make this hard for other kinds of developers to do well.

One is that it requires apps to have file formats, and most devs don't learn these days how to design them. They know SQL but not how to wrangle complicated byte arrays. And our infrastructure kinda sucks at working with files. You can't POST a directory over HTTP, for example. SQLite helps a lot here, but you still have to publicly document your schemas if you want the user to truly have a chance at "owning" their data. The cloud then just holds a backup of these files.

The desire for strong collaboration and sharing features is another problem. Apple isn't particularly big on those. However, a lot of software barely needs it! In most cases a way to publish or share documents with a hyperlink is good enough, especially if others can comment on it. A lot of users don't actually want to allow unrestricted real time edits to their work as it undermines ownership, hence why Google Docs has now moved to a more Word-like workflow where edits are help in suspension until explicitly accepted.

The biggest problem is that the only form of sharing that actually works well is an HTTP link, due mostly to OS makers catastrophically dropping the ball on anything else. And that pushes people towards the web. Apple solve this with light web renderers for their file formats that let people view read only copies, more or less. Often this is sufficient.

The Apple approach + an openly installable backend is a reasonable way to do local-first software. It doesn't imply the software has to be free or open source. It can still be proprietary, you just need to sell the backend as software as well as the frontend.
AMD Zen 4 speculative execution bug with regular GCC code [video]

This fellow wants the same experience from a completely different system, seems to me, which is also the reason that the Twitter people have had so much static from the Mastodon people - it's a different place, with different things going on, and very different assumptions.

All of the negative writing I've seen has basically been different versions of "I have expectations as a user, and Mastodon has not met those expectations, so I can't recommend it" with no further examination. No questioning of their own assumptions and expectations, no respect for a culture that has evolved over years by its own bootstraps while they languished in comfy gardens run by evil autocrats, very rarely even a clear explanation of the differences between Mastodon and other networks.

Mastodon is not "another social network" that comes from the same place as the others. It comes from hating the others and wanting something different from t them. These writers who come from this "why, Mastodon, should I bestow my precious attention onto your platform rather than these others?" as though Mastodon had something to gain from capturing your attention.

It does not; Mastodon rejects the attention economy, so in fact, everyone should be asking themselves what kind of quality content they have to bring. Mastodon does not care about your attention, it only wants to provide you with the tools to find things that your attention craves with no fascism or vile spam or propagandizing by billionaires.

Ask not what your social media can do for you - ask what you can do for your social network.
I think there's a lot to be said for just ignoring projects that you aren't interested in or think are taking the wrong approach. This post is a mostly fair critique of the project, but it's just going to create a lot of pointless drama. There's no 'NeoHaskell' that anyone can download at the moment, so it's not as if newbies are going to be misled into downloading an experimental implementation instead of GHC.
Would be funny if chatgpt starts answering that to certain questions.
What exactly are you unable to build with IPFS that requires it to be even more dynamic than what it is? I've found it flexible enough for most use cases I've had in mind, as long as you're flexible on how they architecture should look.
Second this.

pnpm's use of hard links is so perfect for monorepos. As far as your code knows they just have a normal, run of the mill node_modules but without the massive hit on speed and disk space.
For what it's worth, that just means 3 more people disagreed than agreed. But what you described at least lines up with my experience, which is worth a smidge at least.

The one other example I know that morphs the language to that extent and to the detriment of readability by C programmers is the J interpreter[1,2]. But, once again, nobody (that I’ve read) claims it’s good or clear C. (Good C for those who speak J, maybe; I wouldn’t know.)

For a way to morph C syntax that does make things better, see libmill[3].

> Then they pass this lack of wisdom onto the next generation of juniors, and the cycle continues until no-one remembers that it doesn't have to be this way, to the point where people think that paying $99/month for a third-party tool makes more sense than "having to deal with your own authentication", as if authentication is some huge burden and not a basic cookie-cutter feature that's as old as the internet.

It's significantly worse than that. You have developer YouTubers now that are megaphoning this exact lack of wisdom out to thousands of developers, either misguided older ones or completely new ones.

The four listed things by one of the ancestors in this thread look like they basically came from one fairly popular YouTuber who advocates for exactly this type of thinking very loudly and with dubious credentials to do it.

Yes people think local-first sounds fun but in mission-critical scenarios it's horrible. Post Office abandoned it as soon as networks got good enough (~2010) with the old local-first replicating version being phased out as "Horizon Legacy" in favour of a new always-online version.

It didn't stop the bugs. There are lots of ways to screw up even in a fully online system. It certainly helped though!
Video Game Voice Actors Are Ready to Strike over AI. Here’s Why
As far as I can tell, the story here is that

1. the person tasked with introducing an author talked more about her own initiative (getting people to read more) than the author;

2. the person was criticised for this; and

3. the author wants people to know that he doesn't mind not being talked about because he likes reading too, and he doesn't feel he needs help promoting himself.

So far, so boring. There's also some mysterious implication that the criticism was due to some kind of undercurrents in Hungarian politics. Is this another tedious culture war thing?

I also was very active in the early IPFS days. I think two points really atributted to your experience

1. Success: IPFS got tons of usage early on so scaling the software (which back then was mostly a prototype) was challenging, especially with Bennett's BDFL initial stance.

2. The need to codify an incentives market which then lead to the creation of filecoin took a lot of effort and setting up a trustworthy org around that one and ipfs got even more challenging

So Yes, working with IPFS was not plain sailing (and still isn't) but it seems that by now the two projects have been set up to start iterating again and I see a lot of great work happening on both fronts so it looks lika a promising future here.

Source: I have worked and am still working with both IPFS and Filecoin as part of my business
"NewSQL" is not about analytical performance, it's about multimaster distributed writes and reads. EG, you don't want to run count(*) on spanner.

"HTAP" is the buzzword you're looking for. It's promising, but also complex and nascent. It'll be interesting to see how much traction it gets over time, but things like TiDB and Unistore are pretty early on to call a nail in the coffin for redshift/bigquery/clickhouse etc.

Governments don't work like corporations at all, so this "perverse incentive" is, frankly, nonsense.

Governments can get replaced by an electorate that aren't happy with, say, the state of the roads. In fact, you'll usually see a lot of potholes magically get filled in around local election time.

Also, the revenue raised by vehicle taxes are usually completely blown away by the costs of maintaining infrastructure, dealing with accidents, enforcing laws, etc. The above reason is why governments tolerate all this expense. If they were a corporation, huge amounts of work would have gone into getting rid of cars to reduce the expense line they cause.

IPFS is propped up by AI companies.

C++ is a giant language, it has accumulated sooo many features, so a small language can be cut out from it that offers a more concise set of features, may Zig is that language.

Perl same story. And Ruby may be that language that was cut out of Perl.

Haskell has a problem like that as well, and (while not a general purpose language) Elm is a neat, concise small language that's cut out of Haskell. As the author of this NeoHaskell commentary explains, I also do not see how NeoHaskell fits in here (epecially since it tries to be Haskell compatible).

-----

I also see the opposite, Java and Go for instance have a small feature set and miss ergonomics (and an std lib designed based on those ergonomics). Java recently got Kotlin, which seems to me a great "Java 2.0". Go may also benefit from a language that builds on top and provides great interop with the Go std lib and ecosystem.
