For HOPE 2020 and "A New HOPE" (2022), we had a matrix/element/whatever system set up just for ticket/virtual ticket holders. In addition to the ability to virtually hang out with other attendees, virtual attendees can join "rooms" that are linked into the talks, and have their questions related from the chat to the speaker. It's not the same as being in person, but makes the event more accessible for everyone who can't be there for whatever reason.

To clarify: the talks will be streamed live free for all. The virtual ticket is a way for people to support if they can't attend, but we want to make the information accessible to everyone.
It helps for keeping the feature set limited. With HTML, the incentive to use a full-blown implementation is just too strong, and the risk of inconsistent implementations and deliberate or accidental extensions too high.
> why would we colonize the galaxy?

To explore. Yes, it may take generations to get anywhere, and no, we probably won't be sending resources back.

> Terraforming would be extremely challenging

Yes. Terraforming is a bad idea. Much better to mine asteroids and build large habitats in orbit. When it gets too crowded, move to the next star. No need to terraform planets to spread out into the galaxy.

> "Tweaking the sun" is probably unfeasible

We've got millions of years to work out how. I doubt it would be something as crude as crashing planets into it.

> Similarly, adjusting Earth's orbit would require a colossal amount of energy and reaction mass

Yes, but you'd have a colossal amount of time to move it. Light sails maybe — they use energy/mass from the sun itself.

> Technological advancement has a ceiling determined by our resources and abilities, and that ceiling is almost certainly too low to accommodate a galactic civilization of stellar engineers.

I was in court on a giant mixed docket with name changes to murder indictments. One of the cases was a paternity action involving the state’s new paternity statute.

There was argument over how to interpret the statute and one of the attorneys tried buffaloing the judge with “Well actually judge, I’m on the committee that drafted the bill and our intent,” The judge cut him off and retorted that he didn’t care what anyone intended, he was going to go by what the statute actually said.

I made a mental note to never argue legislative intent in that court.

A text file can contain a malicious payload in exactly the same way a binary file can.

If you want to get paranoid about a test subdirectory, stash the payload in comments or formatting choices in the source code itself.

It's great to say "aha, this particular exploit would be deleted by not having binary files in a test directory!", but that totally misses the point that you can put the bytes you want in other places, such as in the source code which is itself a load of bytes. See also polyglot programs and the code is data premise.

No, I hold the privacy of a public company differently than a private citizen.

Not sure what those percentages are supposed to show. Most of the ethnic Arabs were living in all of the cities of Mandatory Palestine (as it was called at the time), and around half of them fled those cities after the war started and Zionist forces established the state of Israel. They were encouraged to flee both by the Zionist militias and by their own leaders, as civilians do in most wars. But, since the war was lost, the vast majority never got to return to the homes they abandoned in the new state of Israel. Some of them still live in Gaza and the West Bank, as do the children and grandchildren of the others.

Of course, the war started because surrounding Arab nations didn't accept the UN plan of splitting up that territory - with both good and bad intentions to be sure. But even if you think the intentions of those nations were entirely mosntruous, my point is that the Arab population of Mandatory Palestine were victims of this whole war, and they (and their descendants) are the people who today live in ghettos of Gaza and the West Bank. And it is understandable that they would bear malice on those who caused them or their parents or grandparents to lose their homes, especially when they now live in squalor. And it is also to be expected, though sad, that some of them will turn to terrorism and hurt other innocents in their own turn.

But the existence of terrorists among a population does not give one carte blanche to attack that population.

The storage itself uses the rust binding for RocksDb

However, I did have a branch (in another repo) that uses other different storage, some are purely written in Rust, like "dash" (which is full in-memory), "sled" and "speedb". I eventually decided to stick with RocksDb since its well mature and maintained by some giant companies like Meta.

The user code (the one I wrote) is all Rust.

Also, one could also argue that the `bytes` crate that is heavily utilized in the code base of SableDb, uses plenty of `unsafe` code, does this make it less "Rust" ?
> You don't need a cloud to efficiently develop software. I've worked in companies that were running kubernetes on prem. It was a PITA for kubernetes ops but from a developer perspective it wasn't much different than using the cloud in a large company.

I really only find it significant when used to refer to a group in aggregate; "the obese" vs "people with obesity".

I agree with you on single-person references, but I do think there is a semantic difference between the sentences:

The obese are a growing demographic in America.

People with obesity are a growing demographic in America.

Referring to a group purely by an attribute does feel de-humanizing to me. The first sentence certainly sparks less empathy with me.

I've seen similar suggestions for "the homeless" and "the mentally ill" (preferring "people suffering from homelessness" and "people suffering from mentally illness").

I think it's more significant there because they're minority groups and more likely to be primarily identified by their membership in that group.

I'm more concerned by the underlying issue: that we're having to play semantic games to trigger people's empathy for their fellow country person or person in general.
