> as long as absolutely everything you use to run a service that supports it is also licensed as SSPL.

There isn't an SPPL-licensed OS available, is there? Is that not included in "absolutely everything you use to run"? I actually don't know, I haven't tried to make sense of the license. Is there a boundary somehow that you are allowed to run it on a non-SSPL OS? Where is the boundary exactly, I might be using many other open source licensed (or even third-party proprietary licensed tools) in my total ops stack -- which of them don't have to be SPPL?
When a company goes into bankruptcy, they still have assets (inventory, a brand, real estate, customer contracts) -- those things just belong to their creditors now. The new owners need _someone_ to manage selling all those things to recoup some money.

More often, though, the business is still worth more than the sum of its parts. It just wasn't making enough to pay the loans it'd taken out. Since the loans get eliminated in bankruptcy, the new owners might decide to just keep running the company (and want a new CEO, who they think will do a better job.
Yeah, I know. I had an early Acorn machine as a kid and couldn't figure out how my favourite games were made. I was aware they weren't using BASIC, but how they really did it was a mystery. And 3D graphics like Elite left me foxed. I tried to do my own but had never heard of trigonometry so that didn't go far :)

Even so, the span in which you can excel is far more limited. Nothing stops you making 8-bit graphics today (see Notch) but people and especially kids will compare what they can do to, say, Call of Duty and lose interest when they realize how far away they are. Micro games at least tended to be made by one person, so it was theoretically possible to get that level of skill yourself.
Nice post. One part that raised a red flag for me was:

defp bucket!, do: System.fetch_env!("BUCKET_NAME")

This will look at that environment variable at build time. For many workflows this doesn't work because you may build the app in CI and run it with different buckets in production and staging.

I always default to using Application.get_env/2 and setting the value in runtime.exs, now that that's a thing in recent Elixir.

For things where performance matters in a hot loop, it might be worth compiling in the value, but I wouldn't imagine that's the case here where it's a part of a network call to AWS.

Completely foreign field to me, and I only skimmed the text, but argumentation against better methods vs cropping and downsampling sounds surprising as we have had image compression methods that try to preserve detail for a long time? Is it that this is nicer for applications where the image is intended as input for computer vision algorithms? Maybe this is computationally simpler so there's not as much overhead in accessing the photo details vs a compressed image?

security and quality

In my experience security has never been a consideration for GTA. It has always been possible to dox players through their community interface and through the game itself at least up to GTA-V. It is also why myself and family members have always had to use mod menus to keep the other mod menu players from booting us. The real security for those games was provided by 3rd party mod menu developers.

Tailscale [0] says the private keys never leave the device.

“Security

Tailscale and WireGuard offer identical point-to-point traffic encryption.

Using Tailscale introduces a dependency on Tailscale’s security. Using WireGuard directly does not. It is important to note that a device’s private key never leaves the device and thus Tailscale cannot decrypt network traffic. Our client code is open source, so you can confirm that yourself.”

Exposing the homelab with a VPS and a VPN definitely is a better approach than pointing a DNS to the public dynamic IP. But there might be cases where exposing the public IP is better. Some people might prefer that because it is easier, simpler in terms of infra. or just because they don’t own a VPS. More alternatives for people to choose!
If you wanna get really lost, consider how the 'aha' feeling could itself be illusory and indicative of nothing at all. Similar to how everything in a dream is convincingly real. Or how ideas sound better when you're high. 'Aha' is not a reliable narrator.

We did some experimentation with quickwit about a year ago, writing about 1m docs/second of data into it for several months. It worked well and was pretty straight forward to learn and operate. If we didn’t also manage our own S3/Ceph it might be a big win, once feature complete. It’s definitely worth a look.
I'm not familiar with how exactly Monero works. But as long as it uses a public blockchain, there must be traces of money coming into Monero and money going out - you can probably do it very smartly, but if you move big amounts of money, it will be very hard to hide it.

That sounds cool – are you saying that commercial hotspots actually use this? The specification website seems to be offline, for one thing.

Assuming that's indeed a thing, I wonder why the experience (at least on macOS/iOS) is still so mixed then.

For example, in inflight Wi-Fi, I practically always have to manually navigate to a non-HTTPS site in my browser to hopefully get redirected to airlinename.com/wifi or whatever they use, to be able to pay for an internet pass (with credit card or by watching their ads).

I suspect this is because many airlines now offer free in-flight entertainment and messaging on their free tiers, and the OS's native captive login UI would interfere with that. So I suppose that WISPr protocol doesn't support communicating something like "limited connectivity, navigate to URL x to pay for full access, portal available at URL y".
Most of the GGS-hatred I've seen has come from people who hate that Diamond rejects racial differences or innate differences in will and spirit ("civilization", "culture" etc.) as an explanation.

Then there's some very few left-wing critics who hate it for basically the same reason, but with opposite sign, since it implicitly also rejects that western civilization or the white race is uniquely evil.

Then there's some grumbling from academics who hate a popularizer for all the reasons you'd expect.

But why is that a "quite reasonable" position? To me, it's the opposite: extremely unreasonable, bordering on ridiculous and over-dramatic. Consider:

* This position conflates a license to use a product with the product itself. That's not how intellectual property works!

* The blog post author is unilaterally speaking on behalf of a community, but it isn't clear that the author has ever contributed to Redis (has he?) or is a major part of the Redis community (is he?). I understand that he is a very accomplished coder and have heard many positive things about Zig, but where's the relation to Redis?

* Ditto for Drew (maintainer of the fork in question), has he ever contributed to Redis or is he a major part of the Redis community?

fwiw some people said this same thing about MySQL vs MariaDB, claiming (absolutely incorrectly) that Oracle's MySQL is the "fork". In that case, it wasn't a license change (MySQL is still GPL), but rather people that just didn't like the change in ownership. So it seems people will just invent mental gymnastics to justify this "X is really just a fork of X" when they don't like a decision by the intellectual property owner.

In the MySQL/MariaDB case, the people saying this "MySQL is actually the fork now" were largely not terribly visible members of the community. And the Linux distributions who mapped the "mysql" package onto "mariadb" created a giant mess, since MySQL has remained more popular than MariaDB, and the two are absolutely not compatible with each other.

Anyway, if you don't like Redis Ltd or what they've done here, that is fine and understandable! But it doesn't mean you can unilaterally declare that their product is a fork of itself, and the "real" project lives on elsewhere, and expect most people to go along with this as if it is a reasonable position.

The thing I like about this is that it frames all these optimization techniques + AD, etc. in the context of control flow and not just in the context of some trending neural network architecture. It doesn't assume you'll be using these techniques in a specific bubble, it gives the rest of us access to a broader perspective that experienced researchers have been slowly brewing for decades.

I've been trying to learn about applying gradient descent to a non-neural network problem, following a paper, and have found it very difficult to find introductory resources or code libraries that aren't explicitly geared toward training neural networks and running inference on them.
if you have very high volume, there can be some tricks to using an rdbms as a queue system.

For Rails use, 37Signals recently released the open source solid queue package, meant for use with either msyql or postgres. It makes some odd choices, like separating things into different tables depending on state. And it also makes careful use of the not-necessarily-super-well-known (but standard, and in both mysql and postgres) `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` clause.

These choices were to get good performance at high volumes, which they think they have done and tested.

So it can be done! Probably. And indeed solid queue is MIT-licensed, there are not barriers to looking at the choices they made and copying them in whatever language/platform you want.

But it's not necessarily trivial. At non-huge volumes though it's probably not an issue.

Actually, roads and parking garage and driveways take up spaces that could be used for parks and greenery. You could have tramways with grassy cover, for example.

Every time when I drive to anywhere, I am surrounded by five lane stroads.

By removing all these spaces for cars, you could add back in green spaces. Houses with backyards can still exists, but they will be closer together. Parks will be closer and more accessible.

Plus you can design buildings to have green spaces, or at least support plants. Special consideration would be needed to make rooftop of buildings green, especially when you have to consider the weight and wind.

Space efficiency in urbanism is the key to reclaiming green spaces in our urban context.

S3 Benchmark: Measure Amazon S3's performance from any location
I'm doing my best to tell this user that their imagination is possibly on to something, but mostly this is a waste of energy. I'm exaggerating the realistic possibilities to help them feel good about themselves because it makes it easier to sneak in the idea that this is not a useful or productive line of thought.

The approach of "Smart people have thought of that, there are very few chemically useful alternatives" is the kind of thing that entrenches a person in their insistence that this is just a wide-scale failure of imagination. Witness their comment about "earthlike biology perspective". They want to believe a wider, weirder universe is possible. As a rule, it helps people feel heard to tell them they're right about something.

So yes. I'm going to present it as a staunch certainty that something else is possible but currently unknowable, invisible, and irrelevant. I'm doing this in the hopes that the message gets through that this is not simply parochialist arrogance at work, from which they might nobly dissent.

That's a concern I definitely share. I think there needs to be a push for a privacy-preserving middle ground between the complete two-sided anonymity of cash and some cryptocurrencies on one side, and the data privacy nightmare that's traditional electronic payment methods.

Hmm, assuming you’re talking about heap allocation, could you elaborate? I’m curious.

[Edit: You may have meant “when simple integer addition [in a scripting language] can take more time than allocation in a compiled language”, in which case sure, I agree. I had originally interpreted your statement as saying compiled languages can do allocation faster than they can do addition…]

Allocation in most environments I’ve seen involves keeping track of a “free list”, which does some amount of pointer chasing to find a contiguous section of memory that can fulfill the request. Deallocation drops the item from the list, etc. This can result in some fragmentation, and the segments of memory managed by the free list are less likely to be in cache because they’re somewhat dispersed compared to stack memory. Some environments have multiple free lists depending on the expected size of the allocated objects, to avoid fragmentation.

How could all this be faster than a single integer addition?

If all of the same things were occurring in another country, or even better: in a video game, you would have little difficulty and zero aversion to accepting these facts.

Well it's just one article, so don't take it too seriously (and, though I just skimmed the article, it is possible that they do have an agenda, so maybe take it even less seriously).

It's quite interesting though that women perform relatively well at ultramarathons: for example no woman has real chance against top men in basketball, baseball, 100 m sprint etc, but in very long ultra marathons women even win sometimes.

I listened to Courtney Dauwalter on JRE (and then on other shows and indie movies), and she won the Moab 240 [1], a race where they run for days.

And I'm not saying that women are better suited than man, and races with 15 attendees aren't scientific studies, I'm just saying that it can be sometimes competitive and it's quite interesting.

Show HN: A tool that lets you reorder the changes in GitHub PRs
A few friends and I noticed that many PRs are easier/quicker to review if the changes are reviewed in some order other than alphabetical by filename (which is the default in Github). So, we'd often write our PR descriptions to include a suggested review order: "review file xyz.py first, then abc.js, then foo.rs".

We did this often enough that we built a chrome extension that lets us reorder diffs in the Github PR UI rather than needing to type out the suggested order in the description.

Anecdotally, we've noticed that using this tool to reordering diffs makes it much easier for reviewers to review PRs, especially when they are large/complicated, which is sometimes unavoidable.

Narratives (what we're calling the extension) is open source and stores no data on remotely, so it should be safe to use on private repos. If your team writes/reviews lots of code - maybe give this a try. We would love to get your feedback, and PRs are welcome
