> Most of the problems you pose exist with every social media platform, and only get worse as scale goes up.

It's the opposite. We have monolithic services because all of these problems benefit from scale. Is it easier to build one system for site safety and the ability to report illegal content or to build more than one?

> Each server caches copies of all incoming posts to serve them directly to their local users. There are downsides to this approach, but the positive is that it crudely balances server load across the network.

It doesn't load balance anything. It just multiplies the work, particularly given that any such service is going to have a long tail of low-distribution content. Are you going to replicate that preemptively? Or cache-on-demand? If it's the first, it's more work. If it's the second, it's not clear it actually works and certainly adds propagation delay. By this I mean, you can't really produce a feed of content you don't have, for example.

> If you start a server that just blasts spam into the fediverse, the network will quickly drop you.

Famously, POTS has no issue with spam because of this.

> Bad actors aren't much of a concern.

Just like POTS, just like email, just like SMS.

> As a user, you also have the option to block servers or other users.

Blocking servers makes as much sense as blocking a country on Twitter would.

> But what about a website for a thousand users? Ten thousand?

But it's not. You still have to deal with all the traffic from the rest of the network. Otherwise, what are you displaying to your users?

> Fediverse is far from perfect.

It's completely unworkable, offers no value proposition to users, is more expensive to implement and is way more complex.

As somebody who has spent his share of time interacting with Jenkins as a user, and messing around inside it as a developer, I am definitely biased. For or against, I'm not sure tho ;-)

But the problem with Jenkins is the problem with all CI. Our (software in general, not Jenkins specifically) build process are all godforsaken nightmares that would put HP Lovecraft and Rube Goldberg into rubber rooms. You can't add a bunch of extra automation to any of these systems and get something better, let alone a system that needs to be able to automate so many different and unique snowflake horrors.

Limewire, the filesharing software was installed on one-third of computers worldwide in 2007 [1]. The problem is that software-engineers have lost their way. Limewire was a one-click install. Mastodon requires twenty arcane steps. Once you let average-joe one-click install and host, Mastodon will very rapidly rise.

Why has this not been such a problem in the Netherlands? Can't be any recent laws, because I haven't heard it be problematic all my life. Maybe too small scale, or too high a price, or I live in a bubble?
Yours and chii's comment make me think that this is a more subtle and cultural thing. I'm a bit surprised that you believe peer pressure works like as expected. (Don't take this as an offense, I'm genuinely surprised).

This is a classic example of 連帯責任(approx. same as collective punishment), which is very common is Japan (and in other countries too, I suppose).
This doesn't work, because the mess you make is not the same amount as the others make, and the mess you clean up too. Thus, the system effectively incentivizes you to make more messes and let others clean them up. 正直者が馬鹿を見る(The honest man loses his money).

What actually happens is, some jerk shits, forces others to take care of it, and the jerk never cleans up. In short, your "janitors" are just replaced by poor bullied kids. (I'd rather say, it is a system to bully these kids. I believe you can find some examples from the Imperial Japanese Navy).

If I put my 2 yen, the only system that works is that those who made a mess clean up the mess. A system that can be abused will be abused.

The supposed "social media bubble" is a silly myth. The exact opposite is the case: On even the most algorithmically filtered social media platform, you cannot avoid encountering opinions and viewpoints that are dramatically different from what you find in your real-life circles.

The real bubbles are your family, your workplace, and your friends. Most of them are the same nationality, roughly the same social class, and roughly the same level of education as you. Your colleagues, by definition, all work in the same business as you. You have (subconsciously) hand-picked your friends to align with you on a multitude of levels.

Meanwhile, on Facebook or Reddit, you suddenly read a comment written by a veterinarian in Azerbaijan – someone who you would almost certainly never have met in real life and who is more different from you in every way than all the people you interact with as part of your daily routine.

Thanks for the good question. I have tried Bruno. Comparing with mine, it does not support GraphQL subscriptions, WebSocket and gRPC at the moment, which are needed in my daily work. It also does not log the connection detail, which is very useful in infrastructure troubleshooting. It does not persist responses as well, which I would sometimes need that. My application addresses these demands.

Bruno is Postman-like. It only saves when user clicks "Save" explicitly, which I would always forget and causing data loss. Personally I like Insomnia's style more. It saves modification immediately, which is adopted in my application.

My application also features multiple request templates per API, which I could not find an equivalent in existing HTTP client softwares.

Bruno did have something shining which mine does not address yet -- it allows collaboration over git.

Please correct if I am wrong.

> "we expect you to regularly look out the window to avoid a collision with other aircraft as a backup to ATC fucking up and collision warning not working."

If I’m understanding correctly, the ATC is asking the pilot if they can maintain visual separation with traffic landing on the parallel runway. The pilot says no meaning they need the added accommodation of being brought in without parallel traffic. For better or for worse, maintaining visual separation with parallel traffic is the normal course of business there…the situation wouldn’t arise because of an ATC fuckup. Furthermore, in such a scenario, the collision avoidance system is a backup to the pilot, not the other way around.
I like to borrow Churchill's quote about democracy and reframe it around Jenkins.

Yeah, I don’t get people complaining about important missed calls.

Yeah, I may miss these occasionally, but I see them almost immediately if they leave a voicemail — and they should, if it’s important — and then call them back, and apologize for the missed call, which they always empathize with.

I lose at most a minute or two, which is totally acceptable.

I created an online fan forum for The X-Files back in 1993 on the Delphi vax-based network as the web was starting to emerge. I created ASCII art of logos and stuff since it was a text-based menu-driven system. Newscorp bought the company and their marketing managers started asking me to create ASCII art for them. It turned out my fan forum was the biggest on the service with 25,000 members (that was a lot back then.) This got the attention of executives who wanted to use this new digital medium to market their properties not just for FOX Broadcasting but TV Guide, Harper Collins, FOX Film, FX Cable Network, etc. They decided to create a web-based online service to do it and hired me away from my job as a lab researcher working on gene therapy and moved me to Los Angeles to create and run the official X-Files web site. They liked me because I knew the tech and what fans wanted. I basically invented what was then the TV/film marketing web site. All I really did was assess what marketing resources were available and figure out a way to put them online. I was literally the first person to put TV show trailers online Not film trailers, just TV. No one thought anyone cared enough about T shows to download a 1.4MB 320x240 TV spot over 14400bps. Crazy times. I spent $1000 on the video capture card to digitize tv spots on VHS tapes they sent me. This was when the Pentium 90 had just come out. They never followed through creating the web-based online service for Newscorp, but since I had created a web site and online community with millions of users I ended up managing all of the web sites for the television network (and coded most of them) and even worked on sites like FOX Sports when it first came out and became the goto guy on the FOX lot when it came to online content and understanding what the fans wanted out of web sites. I moved on to create and work on ecommerce sites during the dot com boom, later worked on the original Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 and created the mod tools (the classic/good ones), worked for Sony Pictures Imageworks Interactive ultimately Sony PlayStation where I managed the production on all of the PS1 Classics available for digital download as well as some less notable stuff. That was my last full time job. Today I can't get a fulltime or even freelance job to save my life, despite nearly three decades of experience managing technology initiatives and software production that generated tens of millions in revenue. Entertainment is a different beast, you age out if you aren't an executive, and other industries don't seem to care about transferrable skills unless you're an individual contributor (programmer).

My 10 year old Jenkins build still runs. My CircleCI build.... less so...
Normally I don't reply for self-evident answers but the sad sibling's comments make me reply anyway.

RPi is not originally made for industry usages but there are currently many industry that use it for prototyping and even inside real world implementations due to the existing eco-systems for examples drivers, software, and hardware (daughterboards, hats, etc).

In my case I have designed Linux based network training kit with open source software like Quagga and LiSA (Linux switching appliance). It always good to use widely supported hardware like Rasberry Pi, and this Mikrotik NIC is good for data forwarding plane and network acceleration with potential extras like in-network computing and edge processing similar to SmartNIC and Data Processing Unit (DPU).

Apart from training we also have collaborations with China and Australia Radio Astronomy groups and one of the interesting part is to perform e-VLBI. It is nice to have a device in one small appliance (RPi + accelerator) in the remote observatories that cost less than USD300 with much lower power consumption rather than a full blown Xeon based server with accelerator.
Correct. The control pilot signal from EVSE to EV is a PWM signal that indicates to the EV how much current is available.

It could drop at any time due to, for example, many chargers being connected to 1 circuit and the chargers coordinating with each-other to load-balance their connected vehicles (everyone gets their fair share), or it could be tied to solar PV generation so that charging doesn't import from the grid; the available current will change with how much excess PV is available, etc.

A well-engineered EVSE will notice when the EV is drawing more than the EVSE wants it to. It should then open the mains contactor at this point; cutting the EV's electricity supply. It will also hold the control pilot low to signal a fault to the EV.
I hope they upgrade Duet AI to use this model then, because the current models in Google Workspace are quite lackluster. On the positive side, the UX is integrated quite smoothly.
Back when Mp3 players were a thing (before the iPod) Archos were making an MP3 player which took 4 AA, and the mail list for alternate runtime (rockbox) was full of discussions about NiMH trickle charging, approaches to maximising battery life, as were Apple Mouse conversations. People went wild for the most long lived, fastest recharge AA.

In some ways, I think it's a shame we didn't go to consumer goods run on Lithium batteries but in this form factor, with discrete charge management cards. So for instance, replacing the batteries in a Thinkpad could have been commoditised.

Bagged cells are damn good for small devices, but they do make it harder.

My Minidisc players were equally 'my battery, my form factor' as are most digital cameras. I guess some people (Dyson) cannot go past the opportunity to make accessories and replacements bound in them, at their price. After sales income is big.
This completely goes against my understanding of electricity. The correct amount of amps are pulled by the plugged in device, and it doesn't matter how much are available at the supply side (as long as it meets the minimum.)
It was capped at $100k of income (at least in the US) and the US median income is about $75k [1], so I'm not sure how "mostly rich people" got it when 75% of the people who received it were under the median income.

This comment is the slippery slope fallacy because the person responding to you has rightly pointed out that not every situation that's described as a "groupthink bubble" actually is one; sometimes it's just people not wanting to hang out with guys who drop the N-word "as a joke" or overtly support authoritarianism or whatever. Maybe the assholes getting shown the door in such situations always tell themselves that "Society is about to get torn apart by me getting treated this way" but thinking it does not make it so.

It also might be a difference in wages vs. income, because income counts welfare programs and those were unusually generous (but temporary) in 2020; we should bring that back but it's not due to the economy getting worse.

But you can see it says debt ratios are low.

> Median household leverage - measuring a family's total debt against its total assets - sank to the lowest in 20 years at 29.2%. Meanwhile, the median payment-to-income ratio dropped to a record-low 13.4%, and the fraction of families with payment-to-income ratios greater than 40% fell 0.9 percentage point to 6.5%, also a record low.

I wrote an open source clone of a mini game back in 2015 when it was just released. Mostly use HTML5 canvas and websocket. Not really optimized so the server would start lagging and every player are moving like they’re teleporting every ticks.

Also moved to the US at that time, searching for a job for months after that. Finally, one company was using the same tech stack got interested and we had a good talk about it during the interview, and they offered me the job.

I was close to give up my dream of working as a programmer until that point (you know, when you moved to a new country, with a family to support, you can’t just do interview forever, the most possible option for me at that time was to work at a restaurant or something like that).

Bruno does allow git collaboration, but all that really means is that its internal markup language (bru, https://www.usebruno.com/bru) is human-readable (and thus diff-able). If your internal save files are similar, they could also be synced in git.

Not exactly a side project, but same idea:

After not getting a faculty job (and after a couple of postdocs) a wrote an essay about failure in academia. At the urging of a friend, I pitched it to a place that liked it and published it. The response was really surprising to me, all the kind random messages I got. And someone asked if I wanted to apply for a job opening they had, teaching writing at a university. A couple of weeks later I had moved and was in the classroom, the last place I expected to be. It was teaching in an area I never expected and not research in my field, but I've always enjoyed the teaching part of university life.

And that story, along with all the rest here, is what I tell my students about putting work out there. Good and surprising things happen!

I've stopped paying close attention to the web framework scene in the past couple of years, as most of the interesting ideas on this topics are usually coming from different communities. But as I understand, the majority of popular web frameworks (React, Vue3, Angular) are still using tree diffing or hybrid "signals"+tree diffing strategies.

In my opinion, one of the most interesting ideas to explore in this problem space is a hybrid solution: differential dataflow[1][2](model) + self-adjusting computations(view-model + view).
