I guess I should rephrase, a true enterprise plan may make sense to cost that much. I think the gap for Vercel seems to be in the in-between stage. They have plans that are super cheap or free for small hobby projects, and the expensive enterprise plan. Not much in between for when you're growing.

The other dilemma for them seems to be in capturing true enterprise customers...if you have those resources, you might just decide to build out your own dev ops/infra team instead of paying big markups on AWS/Cloudflare bills.

Clouflare has a lot of great stuff for hosting and databases but I think they haven't done a great job marketing themselves as developer platform which has lead to platforms like Vercel, Netlify taking significant mindshare.

Datadog is a pretty amazing product and the folks that build it should be proud of what they have done. BUT it's extremely expensive and most people don't use all the features. It's like Splunk, 99% of people havent invested the time or energy to get the full value of the product they are paying for.
Almost, page doesn't have a body yet, so you get a null ref. I thought of spinning it up or hosting on ipfs, but it still won't live forever, somebody will lose interest and stop paying the DNS costs or similar.
I think you have a story eyed view of github... You might want to go read Linus own thoughts on the matter in the linux GitHub backup repo

Git is a tool built for a project of the kernels scope, scale and organization.

Github is a thin web interface over top of that, it cuts some corners here and there and gets opinionated about how you should manage code (pull requests).

Think of it this way: most git hub projects end up with a monotonic output... the kernel isnt that. Between the current version someone is using, the next version that is being developed and the older versions getting back ports there's a lot going on there. Much more than GitHub and a pull request would cover.
only in indirect way - simpler format could allow to find another real maintainer *or even continue to maintain it himself), because it has less features.

but I think xz won the linux-lzma-archive formats war exactly because it was more complex than lzip, e.g. by supporting more versatile lzma2 format, which allowed to implement multi-threaded compression and decompression (pretty sophisticated things), and better crc64/sha256 hash checking

I don't think it's acceptable to create a subprocess for what's effectively a library function call because it comes from a dependency.

The problem is the design of rtld and the dynamic linking model, where one shared library can detect and hijack the function calls of another by using the auditing features of rtld. Hardened environments already forbid LD_PRELOAD for injection attacks like this, but miss audit hooks.

My point is that just saying we should use the Unix process model as the defense for supply chain attacks is like using a hammer to fix a problem that needs a scalpel.

> If you can't trust the developer's signed tarball you can't trust their git repo either

The public git repo has a lot more eyes on it. You don't necessarily have to trust the developer if 1) you trust at least one of the people who reviewed the code, and 2) you have a way to verify that the code you're running is the same as the code that person reviewed

Trusted builds based on the public git repo rather than an unrelated tarball solves part 2 of that problem.

It does, but has there ever been a movie that successfully portrayed a compelling drama that takes place entirely on a computer monitor? It's hard to even imagine. It's why I think the novel is still relevant in our age because all the great stories that unfold on a screen can't be acted out on a sound stage.

I'm 50 and have noticed that drivers are more cavalier these days than at any other time in any of the other decades, from the 1970s on up, that I've watched cars, watch people's behavior.

Goes hand in hand with the society not being for the care of people but for the care of bank accounts, gripe about the way they were doing capitalism these days. Setting people's wants higher and higher while simultaneously continuing down the path of stratifying society into permanent lower income class.
> Is nixpkgs really a monorepo as usually discussed? It's got packages, os modules, and some supporting scripts. Nix itself lives in a different place, so does the RFC planning, system artwork and a few other things. I would expect it all together to become a monorepo.

I think we can say it's a monorepo of packages in this context. Not everything from the Nix ecosystem is there. It could also bundle the website, wiki, doc etc but I don't think it matter too much.

> Debian has ~1.5k contributors, nixpkgs lists >3.5k maintainers. (Although that list is not pruned over time)

Thanks for the info, I heard that a long time ago and never checked myself!
It's probably less as you say but still probably bigger than Debian.

I guess it makes sense because it's so much easier to contribute there than to Debian.

And there are other reasons some people might not want to travel outside their nearby region. For instance, they might be taking care of an elderly relative. Or they might be the elderly relative, with travel counter-indicated for health reasons.

There's an argument that most forms of investing are some form of gambling, depending on how you define it. If you take gambling as "staking money on an outcome you don't control," perhaps.

It really depends on your financial situation and what you enjoy; for some spending $$$ on startups is much more entertaining than spending similar amounts traveling to see professional sports. Hell, some may spend the money and count it well spent "just to be in the front-row seats at the game" (e.g., learning all the things startups are doing) - even if they never make back any of it.

In which case even a partial return is better than nothing.

Another issue is that class-based inter-racial cooperation was actively persecuted and propgagandized against by the government. Fred Hampton was an American activist who was building a coalition across racial divides. The FBI launched an entire political campaign to sow dissent against him specifically and, when that wasn't working, the police shot him in his bed.
> has no responsibility to help at all is really a bad take.

He has no responsibility to help at all.

All of the work done is that of a donation. Everyone who used xz did so for their benefit. Collin may feel a personal duty to work in the interests of the users of xz, but that's their exclusive choice. Any claim otherwise is on par with saying required-donation.

> "oh my software ends up compromising everyone's computer? sorry not my problem" is seriously misunderstanding your role (I'm not saying that Collin is doing that).

Then why mention it at all? But even if you did want to say that, that's true! You don't blame the victim of some abuse. Everyone, you included (assuming you use xz in anyway) were lied to. Just because Collin was lied to first, and most, doesn't change the fact the person who did all of the important work was also lied to and betrayed.

> Similarly, if I just randomly slapped you in the face, I might have done it for free, but you would also probably be pretty pissed at me and expect an apology.

Personally I'd be neither pissed, nor would I expect an apology. Shitty people are gonna be shit. But your mistake is blaming Collin for 'introducing' you to the person that slapped you in the face. But you're arguing as if Collin should have known this guy was a shitbag, and should hold the icepack while you berate them for making the mistake of trying to help other people... wtf?!

This us vs ourselves toxicity needs to stop. It's not us vs us. It's not even us vs the them. It's us vs the problem, us vs the malicious. The person writing the code is the good guy here.
This would of course be nice since the fact that so much of our infrastructure is based on the work of people sharing it openly, a practice heavily in contrast to industry behavior, is sadly still a little known fact outside of software development.

The demand for more assistance here is the angle that was played in social engineering, specifically the demand to acquire more maintainers due to workload. Especially if such support would take the form like providing source archives with manipulated build scripts that are rarely checked by third parties.

There is also a problem of badly behaving industry that tries to take control of "hobby projects". Speaking of which, these "hobby"-projects often have much better code than many, many industry codebases.

I think FOSS overall still lessens the risk. It got more risky since it has been integrated in social media since these often allow for developer being shouted down or exploited much more easily.

afaik, 7-zip filters can't have multiple inputs (at the encoding stage).

multiple outputs are necessary for filters that output multiple independent data streams such as bcj2. and they are equally useful for archivers and compressors.

(I'm author of freearc, another archiver software, and multiple compression algos)

PS: thank you for format comparison, it would be great to put xz format description onto its Wikipedia page. I already used you description to understand why attackers added 8 "random" bytes to one of their scripts - probably to "fix" crc-64 value.

>>I think Denuvo is going to have that effect regardless of the performance impact.

Sure, but as always it's a business decision - is the impact of Denuvo on the number of copies sold big enough to offset the fact that Denuvo does actually work and stops some games from being pirated for weeks if not months after launch? I don't know, I never had any view into that data, but I assume it must be the case or otherwise no one would use it.

>>Wait, are you suggesting that pirated versions might run better than the official ones, regardless of their DRM?

No, I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just saying that it's not directly comparable, for instance because the binary will be treated differently by graphics drivers, for better or worse. Also you don't know exactly which version was being compared by who and when and how.

Obviously, you don't have to believe me that Ubisoft engineers have spent significant amount of time testing this in all kinds of configurations - I have no way to prove that, especially since I don't work there anymore.
I'm curious to see how the limitation of using pyodide packages only will play out for non-trivial builds. Thinking of all the non-pure python code out there that need to be manually rebuilt to support a non-trivial production app.

Maybe Cloudflare's adoption will help bring more packages into the fold, and if it's an 80/20 rule here, would be good enough.
Agreed, this looks really cool. While there is no Django/DRF support at the moment, it does say that that they'll be increasing the number of packages in the future.

Retro games have a lot going for them. You're not going to find people trashing or bad mouthing these games because the ones that have survived to be re-playable are generally loved and any misgivings in game mechanics or robotic NPC's, etc. are charming and funny these days. Pick any new game launch and you'll find a bunch of internet trolls picking it apart, noticing crashes, etc. Retro games won't catch any of that hate these days. There's also no micro-transactions.

My data point also is the same. But concerning cheat days, I decided to reintroduce carbs one type at a time in measured amounts to find which ones and how much bothered me. It’s still underway but now I know to not have oats (commercial oat milk specifically; “organic”) in any amount, it bothers me too much even though it tastes nice. Or sour dough bread made with one specific brand of wheat for example. It’s easier to experiment this way so i can transition into a 3 month keto / 3 month low carb diet which is my goal after i reach the body composition i want.

This tech is risky. It could be dangerous, if used without any control.

It should be keep in English culture. And its close friend allies.
In my opinion, in our society, full of threats, it is not a good idea to make it open-source. (Not an expert on the topic).

That could allow adversaries parties, to obtain it. Parties that otherwise, would be unable to do so, by themselves.

In my opinion, it should be keep under control of the most able, and responsible organizations. Supervised by government. Because who else could supervise it?. Regulation of this tech, is a very important topic. That should be tackled by the best organizations, university and responsible researchers.

I would prefer a Star-Wars type of society. Where humans still do human activities.

I really liked Artifact for some reason. It's the only news app I've ever installed that actually managed to push interesting news to me at the right time, I'd sent them A LOT of emails asking if I could just pay $5/mth for the push notification stuff, their idea to get into community was silly imo, news app doesn't need a community around it, just push the right news to me and that in itself it is useful.

You point out this flaw in the plan:

> You should be delivering something to them that it easy to maintain and document. If they need to get somebody in to help in 5 years, they shouldn't need to find a be full-stack web-app developer.

Privately I call it the bus factor heist. It is when you get paid or promise to do something then quickly die before having to do the work.

To avoid or at least remedy that I have some documents and some code to help the next dev migrate things. A platform might also have some feature that is hard or impossible to replicate. Say they end up using other software that only plays well with specific platforms. Ideally there would also be a way back to the custom website.

I'm not saying you are wrong but people (like myself) are already invested in the mistake.

For example: I calculate a very low delivery cost by town or neighborhood name. It's very simple as the radius doesn't involve many places and they never move or change name. Addresses in the longest village in the country has only one street and the distance ranges from 0.5 to 10km. If the customer lives there it needs to be slightly more specific.

I think on shopify this could be replaced with easyroutes[1] But woah! That thing brings a bazillion features that are not needed. It's wonderful but not mission critical. I'm not even sure if it can match the existing implementation. Is it worth $450/month?

Some things melt, some expire fast, some food stuffs are fragile. The drivers know to get rid of the expensive wedding cake first and drive slowly. Easyroutes amazingly efficient route planner is simply not needed. However accurate I cant make schedules from that.
