It's not less sustainable than most other FOSS projects, it's just that most other FOSS projects also don't have sustainable funding. If you're just comparing the actual implementations this is true of most XMPP stuff as well.

However, that's not what's being talked about here most likely (though it's unclear since when we just say "Matrix" or "XMPP" we're talking about a protocol, not a service, client, server, etc. so who knows). If you compare Matrix the foundation/company, they are VC funded (the foundation is a bit of a sham after community pressure, it's all the same people and accounts controlling it, so it's a step in the right direction but not really well established). The moment that funding dries up, or the Element people (who still mostly control protocol work) decide they want to monetize the users more, the whole thing will fall apart. That's unsustainable.

Meanwhile proper standards organizations like the IETF or XSF have been going for way longer than 10 years and have proven track records of sustainable funding and membership. People just like to pretend it's worse somehow because they're not building sexy looking software themselves with millions in VC funding. In reality infrastructure is never sexy, and if it's using unsustainable funding models it will fail. This seems like a good reason to pick something controlled by a real standards body over something that's not if you want a long-term community.

(P.S. Since someone once accused me of bias and deliberately not mentioning this even though I'm completely open about it: I have volunteered for the XSF and have done work on both Matrix and XMPP related products and open source projects; I chose to volunteer for the XSF after working on both protocols and evaluating their funding and leadership, so take that for what it's worth)
Because it has a strong, really well thought out type system, tons of industry adoption, good debugging in the browser and works with the existing ecosystem.

We tried Haskell in the browser before and it was a huge mistake. We want back to TypeScript afterwards.
Funny thing is it's not even a feature fyndesk can claim. It's flat design, but it's not material design. Not even good design. Fyne's achilles' heel is its lacking aesthetics and it's pervasively non-native feel.

It's disingenuous to claim those are "front page" stories. The NYT main webpage has the first pages of the different paper sections as you scroll down. The "front page", or most important news of the news site , is at the top, which is exclusively (right now) dealing with US politics, an Australian attack, the Middle East and Chinese/Indian foreign policy. Meanwhile, to get to the hangnail article you have to scroll 75-80% of the way down. Past the other news, the op-eds, the sports, all the way to the lifestyle section and right before the cooking section.
I love these little projects, and the efficiency of the resulting code. I wish I was skilled enough to turn it into a game or something, though.

That is fair and probably the right approach for mechanical CAD. For schematic and layout, KiCAD actually has become a joy to use over the last few releases. There are certainly still some weirdnesses and quality of life issues against something like Altium, but the team seems to be rapidly closing the usability gap.
Absolutely. I'm just mentioning it because sometimes I forget that it even exists and it is better than nothing at all.
I used C# and .NET professionally at a previous job. While I enjoyed writing modern C# that emulates python/ruby/JavaScript idioms, I didn’t like .NET the library. As C# gets more modern, you still have to interact with the ancient .NET library which seem like a relic from the 90s

It's great compared to almost every mainstream language. The only downside is the legacy JavaScript stuff it inherited but you get over it pretty quick.

You're obviously not going to use it for low level or high performance system programming, or numeric stuff where you'd use Python, but for day to day getting stuff done it's amazing.
Back in the day, I spent a good month playing the original CS non stop. By the end of that, it was common for someone to accuse me of using wall hacks or otherwise cheating. Cheating in these games is definitely a problem, but I’m skeptical this is a good solution.
Yeah, that's kind of my point. I agree that api design is important if you're publishing a library, even for internal use - that's why I said "in a single project".

It seems to me that a lot of people obsess a bit too much about this stuff in places where it doesn't matter.

Now, to be fair, first-party MS Office also has this problem. The online versions can't handle absolutely everything that the desktop applications generate (although they do better than Libreoffice), and even compatibility between, say, Office 95 and modern MS Office is not 100%. I believe MS Office is architecturally incapable of complete compatibility, since its file format is basically a binary dump tied to the current version.

One of the many reasons why my particular industry has standardized on TeX/LaTeX/PDF is because it gets along much better with other humans in terms of file format compatibility over the time scale of decades.
XMPP has threading at a protocol level, just like Matrix (and it has since the early days). I'm only aware of one or two apps that implement it though, and I'm not really sure why that is (maybe it's just a lot of old-school developers who like older IM clients? Unclear.). I really like the way the Cheogram app does this (it's XMPP under the hood) and am hopeful that other clients will see the way they've done it and start adopting it.

Looking in to it and yes, if you landlord changes residency you are on the hook for his taxes if he doesn't pay. This is true even it he doesn't tell you, ignorance is not a defense. I think you can verify residency through the tax bureau. But you'd have to do it every month to sure.
It's a thing that this poster does - unnecessarily using Japanese words in italics rather than their English equivalents.
> Two complex numbers can have the same magnitude & be very far apart.

Only if their magnitude is large; the maximum possible distance between two complex numbers of equal magnitude is double that magnitude.

And this limit is independent of the number of dimensions in the space you're working in; no two equal-magnitude vectors are ever farther apart than opposite vectors are.

If you stick to the first quadrant / octant / whatever n-dimensional division of space where all coordinates are positive... I don't think the number of dimensions makes any difference there either? Any two vectors define a plane (or a line, or, if they're both zero, a point), so two vectors in a 500-dimensional space can't be farther apart from each other than is possible for two vectors in a 2-dimensional space. Those 500-dimensional vectors are already embedded in a 2-dimensional space.
That is what spectrum means, and some autistic people say the word is not applicable to the concept of autism.
> MSFT_PRIVATE

The only evidence I can find of this... Is another comment from you. (Googled: '"MSFT_PRIVATE" partition'. One result.)
The taxman always wants to be paid and as they make the law they can go after the easiest target. In this case the money is with the tenant/agent so that's who they go after.

Of course the landlord would then owe the money to the tenant if the tenant had to pay out of their own pocket.

I also expect that a non resident landlord would usually use an agent, in which case the tenant should be 'safe'.
So at the end of the day -- I understand this is a satisfying project to undertake. Operationally how is it functioning through the winter and how much upkeep is required from you?

I've looked at doing something similar for my home system but the LOE + upkeep make me think the reward to work ratio isn't right.

That said I also know that I probably can't find anyone to help build the proper system at my house -- so its a situation where if I want it right I need to do it myself :'(
They wouldn't be immediately hacked, especially as this is a quantum algorithm anyway. But if it turns out that the current PQC schemes are not quantum-resistant, then that work will need to be redone (unless the progress in quantum computing stalls out, I guess). The current result does not break Kyber / Dilithium / NTRU variants / Falcon / FrodoKEM even assuming it's correct, but obviously there's some concern that the a follow-up result might improve on it.

The NIST process has been running for 7 years, though they do have a few "non-lattice" schemes waiting for a 4th round of standardization: the code-based schemes Classic McEliece, BIKE and HQC. We could switch over to those, and the work to add crypto-agility to protocols would not be wasted, but the work on lattice software and hardware would be largely wasted.

Also, error-correcting codes are also solving short-vector problems in a lattice! But since the lattice has a different shape maybe it would be fine? After codes the list gets pretty thin... like there's CSIDH, but it's very slow, has partial quantum attacks, and it isn't very trusted after SIKE got broken in half.

Also do you have any concerns about software maintainability say 10-20-30 years from now? Can someone else pick up this system and run it if you sell your house?
Skimming through it, it sounds like the video is about 8 minutes to say that the vulnerability only affected test versions of Debian and Fedora.

Which is true, and the number of actual running systems that the backdoor already made its way into is likely not massive -- especially in terms of production or otherwise critical systems.

But that doesn't mean it wasn't bad. It's rather a disaster that was only avoided pretty much by accident.

As a long time FF user I have never heard of about:flags and it does not work either. about:config contains the setting like a million of other ones that no ordinary mortal can ever manage.

Just a mistake in TFA or am I missing something?
Just a reminder that most of the modern cryptography uses keys that are at most 32 bytes.
I really enjoyed this! I've only tried to do this once and it was a bit of a failure (nobody showed up on the day despite a lot of interest), but since then I've done a lot of organizing in other fields (political stuff mostly) and have a lot more experience planning events. The mix of general organizing principals (call people, they're way more likely to show up) and OSM specific stuff in this article (don't map eg. a mall, it's more confusing for newbies) was really helpful and I think there are a lot of tips for organizing other kinds of things; everything from lan parties to mutual aid could benefit from this. Thank you OP!
Unbelievable!

Yes, that’s true from the dictionary and the article is one place where its use makes sense. However, usually people say “on the spectrum“ to mean someone is a high functioning autistic. That is something that isn’t a helpful definition.
I am struggling to believe all of this. It feels like a calendar that was used but then someone later filed it in with all of this artwork, and commentary after the fact. Recording events that already happened. If this was a desk calendar, someone would have noticed, and noticed the content.

If it's true, it's a glimpse into the past and thinking of someone in a very important position during a very difficult time in the world.

One of the biggest citizen science projects related to backyard birding is the UK RSPB's big garden bird watch [0]. This year 600,000 people participated, reporting almost 10,000,000 birds. I take part every year, but watch and enjoy my garden birds on a daily basis. In fact I spend more time watching them that I do TV. I've certainly learned loads of different species, and also recognise lots of different behaviours, e.g. how the different species interact with each other (or not), and how these behaviours change through the seasons. E.g. at the moment there is more inter-species aggression than usual because they are claiming territories and are feeding young. But in a few months time, as the food gets scarcer, we'll see larger multi-species flocks. It's lovely when one of the rarer or migratory species shows up, especially when they start to use the feeders regularly. I'm lucky enough to have a mature garden with multiple trees and micro-habitats, but in fact gardens are now a significant wildlife habitat in their own right.

I couldn't imagine not enjoying seeing so many birds.

Grub is just unnecessarily complicated. Simpler options exist (even ones with the same level of flexibility, though I am most familiar with embedded options there: Something like barebox shows an alternative approach that could be applied to desktop: basically just make a shell environment in your bootloader to script your more complex requirements).

I watched this fight play out in Canada last year and the result has been a disaster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_News_Act

First, Google and Facebook both put out articles explaining why the act is harmful and what steps they would take against it.

After some months, Google eventually caved and agreed to pay money to Canadian news organizations to keep the ability to link to news content in search results.

Facebook, on the other hand, started banning links to all news sites, Canadian or not. But they way they did it is very heavy-handed yet imprecise. Various "soft news" and industry-sponsored sites don't get banned, creating an artificial class divide. I don't think there's a legal requirement for Facebook to pay to display non-Canadian news, but they're banning international news anyway. When browsing the site, the shadow-banning of news for Canadian viewers creates a split-brain syndrome in big international discussion groups, where people outside of Canada can still see certain posts/comments/links but Canadians don't see them. Old posts, even from yourself, are retroactively hidden and you can't even see them, not even with a placeholder.

People in Canada, when discussing among each other and not with international peers, work around the news-sharing issues by posting screenshots of the news article or obfuscating the URL so that the text is obvious to a human viewer but not obvious to the machine.

Finally, the banning of news links on Facebook sparks continual debate in groups and among friends over big tech, power, money, journalism, and government. It splits opinion down the middle, where some people think big tech companies have too much power and the government was right to force them to pay for journalism, and other people think that linking is a fundamental freedom of speech and that we should never pay or be extorted for the act of referencing content.
