It's not transit. Transit is about taking your data across a network to some other network or networks. These are access fees aka termination fees demanded to deliver data to a networks own customers on net.

Net neutrality bans access fees as a kind of blocking and throttling.

Twitch's servers almost certainly directly connected with the three largest ISPs in Korea. And Korea has a regulation that requires them to pay those networks and it looks like the fees that were demanded were way too high. And that's what you get in an economic system where monopolists (ISPs have a terminating monopoly over there) are allowed to set prices.
As a supporting point, right now people have decent GPUs but as people get a taste of the streaming approach on a laptop for example, and with the GPU prices increasing, they might not want to spend a whole lot of money on it. A small subset.

And then the AAA-studio will see the hyper-paced style of game would be a bad experience and reduce the revenue, being more likely to prefer the styles that are more comfortable with the latency.

This in turn will make the approach itself more viable let alone the improvements in the area, and when the most popular games ensure they are viable on these platforms, you won't need to buy a 4XXX card.

People I know are looking into 3XXX and 4XXX cards at the moment when they are building a PC or buying a pre-built, 4XXX for the latter scenario, not necessarily 4090 or anything, really just the ones closer to the entry point, and honestly they aren't great value.

I don't like this situation but the writing is kind of on the wall, for the laptops I already see the streaming becoming common.
Ongoing multiday outage for Poly, LGBT dating app Feeld following total rewrite
What was supposed to be a 12-hour downtime for a launch of a total rewrite of their mobile app and backend services turned into a 48-hour full outage. Six days on, many users are unable to sign in and view or modify their accounts that are still being shown to other users. The company is not responding to support requests except with a canned response with no timeline for affected users.

This outage deserves attention due to the severity, length, and privacy implications for users of dating apps. I would love to see the post-mortem starting with how they decided to do a total rewrite of everything and launch it to everyone all at once with a planned downtime window.

It sounds like calling it a "strike" is kind of misleading, because the workers who are "striking" aren't Tesla employees, they're employers for _other organizations_ who are refusing to do their jobs (for those other organizations) in order to sabotage Tesla. I don't think there's a plausible claim, here, that these unions are acting in the best interests of Tesla's workers; rather, they're working to maximize the power of _the unions themselves_.

there are FLOSS alternatives: jabber/XMPP (or arguably Matrix, etc)

okay, i sound snarky: but how is this aligned at all with FLOSS projects/communities/ideals? how/why would a FOSS project tie itself to a network run by a company that’s going to constantly be trying to kill their implementation? both the users and the devs would be constantly fed up with the breakages: you solve that either with open protocols or by paying somebody to do the dirty work of defending against Apple.
If the value of your "variable" doesn't change, it's a constant by definition, and a const declaration is appropriate. If it does change, using const will give you an error. Therefore, it's literally impossible to misuse const in a JavaScript program that runs without errors.

Not every problem needs a "tech-based solution".

Consider Paul Graham's advice: http://paulgraham.com/ds.html. You might be able to at least partly solve the problem without going all out on a technical MVP. Technology is table stakes. Value is in solving problems that are critical enough for people to want to pay you.

Is this really an unpopular opinion? I would think most developers would rather develop a solution themselves than rely on a third party library or solution. The problem is speed and cost will never be in favor of a homegrown solution.

What an interesting evolutionary mechanism, hardly a "mystery" as it seems thoroughly elucidated by the recent research. Aside from the mechanism, I find external asymmetry in any species that you'd expect to have determinate symmetrical morphology to be visually highly intriguing.

In that case the marketing site should probably be fixed.

"If it can be self-hosted, it has to be on GitHub" is a really weird claim, considering that tons of "self-hosted" open source projects aren't on GitHub. debian.org, for instance.

Also, I personally wouldn't call something that requires an external backend API (if I'm understanding this correctly?) "self-hosted". Partially self-hosted? Not sure. It's not exactly on prem either.
Is it just me or does the Edge integration fail at almost every task I'd want it to perform?

More than once I've had a long document open and I've been like, oh Edge has GPT now maybe it can give me a summary. It will read the page, produce something vague, I'll ask a follow up question and it will completely lose track of what we're doing and like search Bing for generic information not at all related to the webpage I'm on. It also seems inherently unable to say, "oh the page doesn't include that information" rather it just makes things up so I always end up just having to read the document myself.

It really feels like an LLM being slapped on for the sake of having one rather than trying to solve a real need. Which is super frustrating because I have a real need and this technology in theory could solve it.

The patterns I've noticed, watching it evolve for nearly 20 years are:

- They draft behind others, and I mean this in a good way. They seem to eschew trailblazing new features, but keep a close eye on alternatives (esp. Postgres) and how use cases are emerging. When a sufficiently interesting concept has stabilized, they bring it to SQLite.

- Closely related to this, they seem to stay clear of technical and community distractions. They have their plans and execute.

- I don't know if D. Richard Hipp is considered a BDFL, but that's my impression and he seems good at it.

Let me illustrate a probable story which might muddy the waters and expand the surface area of belief.

Consider a woman whose child is suffering from a disease. She has gone to all the doctors she was recommended and found no success. She is told to visit Church and pray to Jesus. After the sunday mass, she tells her story to few random church goers. They immediately recognize the medical condition and tell her to visit a particular doctor. Doctor sees her child and provides medication. Her child is cured after few years. Now the question is did she know going to church would solve her medical problems?

Re-using standards is a great idea, and should remain people's default, but I don't see the benefit here.

What's the advantage of re-using a format?

Ecosystem? That won't help SQLite here, who don't have dependencies.

Keep in mind that anyone trying to write a parser for this is also writing a parser for the entire SQLite file format (the only way to access bytes). And it's a spec simple enough to fit on one monitor.

Design?

BSON (and others?) seem to have different goals.

SQLite's format seems to minimise conversion/parsing (eg. it has multiple TEXT types depending on how much escaping is needed; BSON has one fully-parsed UTF-8 string type). BSON is more complex: includes many types not supported by json (dates, regexs, uuids...) and has a bunch of deprecated features already.

SQLite's on disk-format is something they intend to support "forever", and as with the rest of SQLite, they enjoy pragmatic simplicity.
I suddenly remembered Voltaire's Candide. That's basically a book about exposing and ridiculing optimists as buffoons. Well, not exactly, but that's the gist of it.
Clojure’s biggest issue is definitely the ecosystem. As far as the bell curve goes for accessible and usable tooling it’s usually either on the far left end and terrible but easily accessible (but doesn’t follow the functional paradigms well) or it’s on the far right end -extremely esoteric, LOTR quote in the readme, everything is data to the n-th degree, only accessible to dragons who can write emacs plugins blindfolded and upside down. The language itself is amazing, and Java interop is much better than Aphyr makes it sound. If there was a rails or Django for Clojure for instance (or better yet, a Phoenix) it would be an easier sell and methinks more widely adopted. The juice needs to be worth the squeeze - particularly when you’re convincing a team to jump from Algol style imperative languages to lisp. But at this time you need to reinvent the wheel on virtually any project, aside from fundamentals like http routing (which is also a rough scene) But the fact that literally any maven package can be used is tremendous. Plus it compiles to a jar, so anywhere a jar will run - so will clojure.
These apps weren't widespread immediately, so it took a while to spread and the effect is a lagging measure as well.
Certainly the perfect should not be the enemy of the good. But the bad should be the enemy of the good. The very core of freedom is the ability to have your own thoughts, your own value system and your own autonomy. In a free society, laws exists so that individuals are able to enjoy their own thoughts, values and autonomy while being constrained from harming others. Obviously, there is a balance to strike (which is not always easy to determine) between law and freedom. We see this on display every day in our society. You need look no further than the crisis in San Franisco (and many other US cities) between the right of an mentally ill individual to sleep and defecate on the sidewalk and the right of society to pass laws to prevent this activity.

The conversation changes when you are talking about prescribing a set of behaviors that are universally considered, "good" and are pushed (and possibly demanded) by an ever-present AI that is constantly looking over your shoulder and judging your behavior (and possibly thoughts) by this preset behavioral standard that may or may not match your own preferences. This is totalitarianism beyond anything Orwell ever imagined. What you consider good and desirable, someone else considers bad and despicable. That is the essence of freedom. In a free society, the law exists (or should exist) only to stop you two from hitting each other over the head or engaging in other acts of overt violence and aggression, not to attempt to brainwash and coerce one of you into falling into line.
It’s pretty easy to meet other founders and investors here. If you’re a founder then it’s a pretty good place to be as far as the entrepreneurial ecosystem is concerned. Antler started here and is very active in the community.

In terms of hiring talent, I’ve only tried hiring software and platform engineers here, without much luck. Despite the cost of living, the salaries aren’t too high compared with, say, Europe. But it’s a small market and all the megacorps like Facebook / Google / Apple have their regional headquarters here so you are competing with them. I think for developers the market is pretty bimodal – the good ones go to the megacorps and are super expensive, and everybody else works for local firms and are affordable but not great.

I tried putting a few job ads on MyCareersFuture for an average salary for Singapore, and only got a handful of responses, most of whom were entirely unqualified. Our circumstances changed, so I didn’t keep trying to hire here, but I get the impression MyCareersFuture is only really used to prove to MOM that you tried to hire a local so you can justify a visa to bring somebody into the country. I think most proper hiring is done via word of mouth or LinkedIn here.

I think a lot of people here hire developer teams in Vietnam and nearby areas. Which is certainly cheaper and opens up much bigger markets, but also introduces a language barrier. Also, if you aren’t Singaporean / PR, then your visa will probably require you to spend a significant amount of money and hire locals here sooner or later.

If you’re keen on living in the region as a founder, then I’d say Singapore is the best place to be by far. But you probably aren’t going to build a dev team here.
It's common for consumer internet in many countries. What's different in Korea, dominance?
You've got plenty of options for writing web frontends in TypeScript/NodeJS. Like, ALL OF THEM.
> - You have to have a phone number to sign up for any type of account. (Hasn’t discouraged any toxicity either.)

While unfortunate, this is not required by the law. It is just that many Korean services abuse phone numbers to control users. A cultural problem, not a legislative one.

> - Most people own windows PCs because in order to do any banking in Korea you have to install software that is tantamount to the bank’s spyware on your computer.

Things have changed, and most banks support macOS too. Personally I don't mind them supporting anything, because smartphone bank apps work and it is more convenient than those of PC's.

> - All mobile phones have non-mutable shutter sounds.

It is not a legislation, but a voluntary restriction imposed by mobile carriers. I also hate it, but there's huge concerns among South Koreans regarding hidden cameras, and although I think those concerns are excessive and even paranoid, before the Korean people change their mind, the voluntary restriction won't go away.

> - Location services like find my iPhone are banned.

Only Apple's does not work. Samsung's and even Google's work.

> - cellular data usage costs an arm and a leg, making free WiFi a necessity at any business

I use an unlimited plan for 30 bucks a month in South Korea. I have no idea how much the carriers of other countries charge for an unlimited plan, but I don't think the current cost is too much.

> - contactless pay via Apple Pay was only introduced this past year

It was just because Apple and Korean credit card companies couldn't agree upon a fee. If legislation was the reason, why were there many contactlees pay services in South Korea before Apple Pay? Even China's UnionPay had been allowed in South Korea.

I assume you were angry because you could not use Apple's services in South Korea. Blame Apple's predatory strategy rather than South Korea, I guess.
You mean a JSON parser? I don't think you can execute anything with json.
The point I am making is that both Google (insofar as their open source software) and Microsoft both pay programmers to write and examine their code. That was the original criteria, and working off that you shouldn't have a problem with Microsoft.

Of course, you do have a problem as you've already made clear. However, that problem stems from how Microsoft's code is closed source compared to Google's open source code. That's religious FOSS dogma which I referred to earlier, and has nothing to do with whether programmers are paid to write and examine your code.

i was toying around quite a bit with the ecosystem a couple years ago. particularly, comparing all the different sidechains and "layer 2" networks: those white papers were a godsend, because i could actually understand the _specific_ guarantees and assumptions each one made (and it made spotting the BS ones trivial). it's like `man` for the internet, and i quite like that.

Despite internal format I see immediate external usage in applications. For example batch insertions in Python. Per row insert call has noticeable overhead. And JSONB could bring performance back with CTE:

CREATE TABLE data(id, name, age);

WITH ins AS (
SELECT c1.value, c2.value, c3.value
FROM json_each('["some", "uuid", "key"]') c1
INNER JOIN json_each('["joe", "sam", "phil"]') c2 USING (id)
INNER JOIN json_each('[10, 20, 30]') c3 USING (id)
)
INSERT INTO data (id, name, age)
SELECT * FROM ins

Each json_each could accept a bind parameter with JSONB BLOB from an app.
