I redesigned my website, and want honest feedback
I am not a designer. I want to make that very clear. But thanks to other peoples hard work, I managed to rebuild my website, mostly using TailwindUI.

I am looking for some real feedback from strangers, to see if I could improve my website in some way.
That's labour and human capital intensive, not capital intensive. And I don't mean this as a technically correct nitpick: in terms of economics it's more accurate to call it the exact opposite of capital intensive.

Rather, your “problem” is that you’re likely not writing uninteresting cookie cutter boilerplate that everyone can do and has done hundreds of times. The current crop of AI is cool for coding demos, not for solving real relevant problems.

Fractint did a lot of clever tricks, especially for the Mandelbrot fractal. For example, I remember they exploited that the Mandelbrot set is connected. So that means that if you found that the border of any rectangle is either completely inside or completely outside the set, you don't have to check the inside.

nice read, hoped it would focus more on technical marketing
That's because I'm very much less concerned with non-US automakers who still manage to do very well for themselves outside of the US and even inside of it too. It doesn't bother me at all if automakers in other countries have to focus more on their own local markets or that when they want to sell trucks in the US they have to compete on something other than offering the lowest possible price.

I'm also naturally more concerned about US workers than workers overseas since I want the people near me to have good paying jobs and to be able to contribute to and participate in my local economy. When people in the USA are encouraged to buy goods made in the USA, the USA is the winner. Since I live in the USA I'll happily take that win.

I really couldn't care less about US or non-US companies that want to increase their profits by polluting the environment more. Building trucks outside of the USA's more stringent environmental protections and then shipping large heavy trucks across entire oceans when they could have been made closer to their buyers wouldn't be a win for anyone but an already very wealthy few. I'm not shedding any tears for them.

We can still buy trucks made outside of the US, and plenty of Americans do. There are many Tacomas, Tundras, and Frontiers on American streets. You can even find a Honda Ridgeline or Hyundai Santa Cruz. We're not at all hurting for non-US truck options, but considering the list of winners, I'd say we do have a lot to lose.
Oh duh, this is inherent in binary counting. When y is equal to one any even x will be a zero. The when y is equal to 2 you get groups of zeros two at a time 0, 1; 4, 5; 8, 9; etc. The pattern repeats in lengthening, self similar way as the values of y increase leaving ever lager gaps and sequences of zeros (with the top edges of the triangles corresponding to powers of two, which give long sequences of zeros or non zeros respectively.

I always think of this pattern geometrically so it’s weird to see it pop out in simple math.
> Isn't this an equivalent of giving everybody all over the world permanent read-only access to your bank account?

If you read early Bitcoin literature, you'll discover a number of very clear and vocal warnings against "address re-use".

The protocol was designed so that addies should not ever be used more than once or it would introduce vulnerabilities.

It's indeed kind of like giving everyone permanent read-only access to your bank account.

Except that, if Bitcoin was used as intended, there would only ever be one transaction per account and there would be a new account created for each new transaction, so who cares about the reveal.

It's too bad Satoshi didn't enforce the "one new addie for every new transaction rule) that at the code level (I guess the computational burden might have been an additional problem to solve).

Caesium oscillations are a proxy for the passage of time. I can imagine a universe in which the rate of Caesium oscillations might vary, or be influenced, making atomic clocks unreliable. I don't know how one might measure the passage of time directly; I suspect it's impossible, and can only be done with proxies.

I don't see why you couldn't have more than one timescale operating and interacting. It's an interesting speculation. But William of Ockham advised against multiplying hypotheses; and I can't see what multiple interacting timescales might explain, that can't be explained without them.

I think I can have lively, intellectually stimulating exposure without say, someone advocating for the mass killing of gay people. Or engaging in an interesting political discussion without bad-faith conspiracy theorists shitting up the place. For example, the “chiller” which as far as I know is just designed to cool down a hot button discussion actually sounds super amazing for this purpose.

One of the things that frustrated me about browsing twitter now is the constant bad faith discussions about everything, one-off potshots that waste pixels and lead nowhere. A moderation tool that sifts that and just gets me to the people that actually know wtf they’re talking about and are engaging honestly would benefit me greatly!

It very much is. It is also prominent in gamedev and the downwards trend has been reversed after the .NET ecosystem gone FOSS. With that said, it’s extremely under-appreciated today still (which is completely unjustified - the market is full of technologies of magnitudes of orders worse like Ruby, Node.js or Go which are afforded truly massive amounts of good will despite their flaws which .NET does not have).

Also, and too often overlooked or silently ignored:

You don't need cookie popups! Really. You don't.

You only need to get consent to track users with software you don't run yourself. Or when you sell your data off to other companies.

Both are, unfortunately, the norm. But there's absolutely no technical reason to have these in place. Non at all. Plenty of alternatives for tracking that doesn't need consent. Or just not sell your customers' data off.

I would be infuriated if I found the bakery down the street is selling its security footage with my face on it, next to my sales and spending in that bakery. I'd expect them to at least warn me about this at the door. So I can then buy my bread elsewhere. That's what a consent banner is!
Is this using SSM’s raw port forwarding support? From what I’ve seen, their protocols seem to lack binary safety (we get weird encoding issues).
IRC is not a federated protocol, so this is not a big problem. Yes, it's a "relay chat", but in the end all servers of a single network must trust each other, and that means they are being run by a single organization and it's just a mechanism for horizontal scalability. This is not the same as XMPP, which has a federation s2s protocol, but each service provider can use a custom server protocol for horizontal scaling.
I wasn’t clear: we do agree that attitude is the crucial piece, I just disagreed on the order in which it should be done.

I think that implementing in compilers the mechanisms for doing the right thing can be done first, and relatively quickly. Which now that I think more about it, would need the right attitude on the part of the compiler vendors and standards committee.
It's a really cool feature, but be aware that MSIX can be tricky to use in its raw form. My company makes a tool [1] that can produce both signed and self-signed MSIX packages from any OS including Linux or macOS using a much friendlier toolchain than what MS provides. It also produces a small installer EXE that works around the unfortunately large number of bugs in Windows to produce a reliable and easier to use experience.

We're waiting for this feature to emerge from the insiders builds before adding support for sandboxing, but should do so once it's ready.

Released Conveyor currently only supports native, Electron, Flutter and JVM apps. But, we have some unfinished support for shipping Python apps as well. In the tutorial MS sort of hand-wave how to do this, basically saying to repackage the entire Python interpreter and details like pipenvs and native code are left as an exercise for the reader. Real apps do need to think about this of course.

If anyone has a need for shipping sandboxed [Python] apps on Windows please do get in touch. It'd be good to understand how much demand is out there before investing in finishing off these features.

An alternative approach that can also work well is to use software-level sandboxing, either in replacement or in combination with OS level sandboxing. For example GraalPy is a Python interpreter and JIT engine that not only runs Python faster than CPython but which also supports sandboxing with a high level API and easy interop with other languages:

https://www.graalvm.org/python/

For example if you want to expose capabilities to your code, this is a good way to do it that's much easier than with kernel sandboxing (ditto for JavaScript). The cost is that Python compatibility isn't yet 100%, and memory usage can be higher. But if it works for your app it can be a useful weapon in your armory.

Tying the above together, because GraalPy can be turned into a JVM app (including an ahead-of-time compiled JVM app) you can also ship customized sandboxing Python interpreters with Conveyor, including making a server that uses systemd to start up and sandbox, to really lock down the process tightly. So you can get both software and kernel sandboxing on Linux and macOS, for desktop apps and servers, and maybe in future Windows too. Pretty cool stuff.

Disclosure: I own the company that makes Conveyor, and also do part time research work with the Graal team. So I'm talking my own book here, but only because it's a good book.

The thing is... most small or medium-sized channels are idle most of the time. Some then unidle for a bit if you wait e.g. a couple hours or even days. Even if there's no activity for months, if someone says something, someone may respond. Large channels are often quite active. Most channels have a topic of discussion, which can usually be inferred from the channel's name. If you like computers you may have a favorite programming language or whatever, and often there's a channel for it on chat.libera.org. E.g. #perl, #python, #c, #linux, #debian, #ubuntu, etc. (note, I'm currently on none of these). There's also channels for natural languages, electronics, etc. And most of the time the channel name is #WORD or ##WORD. Some of these channels are very active, some aren't.

Many mature channels have a group of regulars that have been part of the channel for years or decades. Many channels are a bit of a social club. Some channels have regulars that are insufferable.
Reddit's subreddit structure and the underlying moderation system is quite scalable: site admins only deal with the things that subreddit moderators have failed to. And, in case they keep failing, admins can shut down the subreddit or demote moderators responsible for it. The work is clearly split between admins and mods, and mods only work on the content they're interested in.

Now, with this model, I don't see such a scalable structure. You're not really offloading any work to moderation, and also, all mods will be working on all of the content. No subreddit-like boundaries to reduce the overlaps. I know, mods can only work on certain feeds, but, feeds overlap too.

It's also impossible to scale up mod power with this model when it's needded: For example, Reddit mods can temporarily lock posts for comments, lock subreddit, quarantine subreddit to deal with varying degrees of moderation demand. It's impossible to have that here because there can't be a single authority to control the content flow.

How do you plan to address these scalability and efficiency issues?
