I find the article short on details necessary to make any judgement. The cost of coffee beans themselves were typically not a major cost of providing a coffee at a cafe, so double the cost naturally doesn't mean double the price.

> Routing data between servers and networks you literally control

This isn't always the case, not every user is a server admin. Also for group chats other server admins will certainly know what data your requesting.

TLDR is that XMPP is not a private protocol, and that was never its intention. It was actually very centralized in it's original usage and the designers clearly envisaged similar usage to email ie $companyA.com employees talking to $companyB.com not some sort of "private messenger" competitor to Matrix or Signal which were meant to be used by the wider general population.

> Leaking metadata to a centralized service is simply inevitable by pure physics

Not necessarily true https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/

Signal has a lot less metadata than XMPP.
'Use a cheatsheat' and 'just use split/cut' are recommendations for how not to learn regular expressions.

Regex is one of those things that need a solid base understanding, or you'll always hit things that will baffle and frustrate you as a programmer.

Using split/cut is fine for a small subset of what regex can do, but I often hear that advice from people who also hate regex.

If the goal is to like regex, read 'Mastering Regular Expressions'.
Does it really matter if it's opt-in when insurance companies are going to make the price without the "discounts" you get for opting in completely unaffordable for most people? When I shopped around for auto insurance most recently, I discovered that Liberty Mutual is already using this model. The quoted price is way higher than most, but convenient discounts are offered if you download an app that lets them spy on your driving habits. What happens when every insurer starts doing stuff like this because it becomes socially acceptable for them to do so? The issue, as usual, isn't from one or two firms offering a discount in exchange for data collection, it's when this data collection happens at scale and is practically unavoidable, especially for people who don't realize what they're really opting into.
Disclaimer: I'm an XMPP server developer and work on [MongooseIM](https://github.com/esl/MongooseIM).

> XMPP was invented at a time, where communicating online meant sending a message from one device to another. However, the modern expectations for messaging apps are much more than that. Sending media, using multiple devices, deleting messages, editing messages, read receipts, notifications when typing, group chats, threads, and even managing communities are all things a modern messenger app should be able to do.

XMPP provides all of these features and manages to keep up with commercial products really well. Everything Slack or Discord offer is there in the XMPP protocol. And if it wasn't, it could be relatively easily added, thanks to it being extensible.

However, navigating the protocol and software supporting it requires a little bit of know-how. If the OP is interested in building a product incorporating instant messaging and the satellite features, I'd suggest partnering up with somebody with this know-how. Scalable servers would be MongooseIM or ejabberd, polished clients are Conversations or Movim.

If it's a question about which protocol to use for a homeserver, then maybe something focused on ease of setup would work best, like Prosody.

> The fundamental operating principle has shifted from mere message passing to synchronising a common state between all participants.

So it should all be based on blockchain, shouldn't it? ;)
Yeah agreed, it s not garbage garbage it's just silly and useless, and all I can think is "meh". I really find it incredible they call those token generators "AI"
XMPP largest deployments are in enterprises. I do not disagree with this. To go from there to "it is not designed to be a private protocol" is a stretch. And does that invalidate any of my points?

> Not necessarily true https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/

Yeah, no. Timing alone is enough to clearly distinguish a sender, and any attempts like these is pure astronaut engineering to obfuscate something that is trivial to recover by a million side channels.

There is just No. Way. to eliminate the problem of metadata leaks to a centralized server, other than making it practically distributed/P2P. The more time it takes for people to realize this, the worse society becomes.
> Do you follow any religion or spiritual practice?

There are whole classes of spiritual practice that do not involve belief or wishful thinking.
Sharing my experience of building Dashwave
For the past 18 months, our team of 8 and I have been building Dashwave full time. This blog is a glimpse into our journey—the countless rewrites, rigorous testing, and invaluable lessons we’ve learned along the way.

3 years ago, I had an idea - I wanted to create something of my own. At the time, developer productivity wasn’t my forte. But as I delved into it, observed closely and engaged with 100s of developers and leaders worldwide, it became clear how crucial this domain is.

I'm not a developer myself, nor have I ever been. But I’ve worked alongside developers, witnessing firsthand the challenges they face. In my strong opinion, developers today are the backbone of the entire tech economy yet they pursue one of the most stressful jobs in the world.

I just want to do contribute to the cause, make this part a little more enjoyable? Maybe not through Dashwave, maybe something else. But I definitely will!

Till then, happy coding!

I heard a funny story where someone was working in Tokyo in a dev shop, and they had something like 100 hand sets for doing QA on different smart phones. Apparently they all went off at the same time. That would've been wild.
I’d like to recommend a useful tool for developers and website owners: Forecast Now. This platform provides a range of weather-related widgets and tools that you can easily integrate into your website or app.

Forecast Now offers real-time weather forecasts and interactive maps that are both customizable and lightweight. The widgets are designed to be fast and efficient, ensuring that they won’t slow down your site. It’s a great option if you're looking to enhance your site with accurate weather data without heavy performance overhead.

If you’re working on a weather-related project or just want to add some weather features to your website, check out Forecast Now. It might be worth exploring!
I wrote a short op-ed in support of SB 1047
Electronic Stability Control can sort of mimic a limited slip differential, but I doubt it will work well for rock crawling without at least having been tuned explicitly for it.

Even limited slip differentials are not normally suited for this - the engagement of a viscous LSD is proportional to the current slippage, meaning that you only get a notable lock once the other wheels are spinning aggressively. That’s not usable when you want to go slow and steady. In rock-crawling, you want all wheels to spin at the same steady speed regardless of traction, allowing them all to remain in static friction to ensure all wheels provide all available traction regardless of conditions.

But, “or equivalent” is important - independent wheel motor setups are superior to lockers - assuming it’s tuned right - so it should be allowed.
This sort of rant is unfortunately fairly common in the world of cryptography. Things can be mostly driven by what the writer feels about other people working in the same space. So they attack their technology as a way to attack them.

Note that the author of the linked article complains about getting the same sort of article in reply. That is also common...
Yes, exactly - minor/major and modes in 12TET (as well as pentatonic but that's just major/minor with fewer notes).

What would be interesting with this synth (something other synths, like my Korg Monologue, can do) is being able to tune to different temperaments, i.e. not 12 TET - for this synth especially, since 12 TET was rarely used in the medieval period in favour of pythagorean or meantone tuning.
Wow!wow!

Apple reportedly plans updated M4 Mac mini that's mini
> And does that invalidate any of my point

Yes it does, because the threat model there is not the server itself. You trust that as it's your employer's server and you're using it for work related purposes.

> Timing alone is enough to clearly distinguish a sender

It's a lot harder to pull off than doing an MiTM attack with STARTTLS and then just observing the person's roster being sent to them when they connect lol.
https://github.com/McCloudS/subgen worked very well for me. I had a TV series where somehow the last few seasons timestamps did not match up with subtitle files I could find online. I used subgen and it worked surprisingly well.
That reads like a bad rationalisation of evil. Survival at the expense of someone else is not survival, it's the law of the jungle. The law of the jungle in the jungle is not evil, but we can do better than that, and we broadly expect better than that from others. So we should do better, even if sometimes to the intentional detriment of our profits and bonuses.

You seriously think the US has a 'hands' off attitude to South America?
Yes. Not giving source information makes it pretty much unusable in my opinion. Even if artists are long dead they should be credited for their works.
This is not true for a lot of all wheel drive systems these days.

Feels like less ≠ more. If you want to fill in these gaps you might aswell interpolate
What does STARTTLS have to do with a MITM attack based on certificate substitution? What XMPP servers still allow unencrypted client connections by default?
These questions aren't meant to be a substitute for conversation, they are meant to be something to give it direction when there is none. If they were simply barraging you with questions, either they were bad at listening and replying to what you said, you were bad at replying in a way that they could reply to (asking your own, related questions maybe?), or both.
that is great! Love it.

That, together with clearly defined workspaces, is fantastic for me.
> You trust that as it's your employer's server and you're using it for work related purposes.

Yes, that is the point. Or it is my home server sitting at my router serving my family. I have been arguing that if I can trust the server then the discussion about E2EE becomes less relevant.

> It's a lot harder to pull off than doing an MiTM attack with STARTTLS and then just observing the person's roster being sent to them when they connect lol.

And here you make the dangerous mistake that I most hate. It's not only trivially easy for the server operator to leak metadata, it's actually HARD to avoid it.
Who is harmed specifically by online speech? Speech can certainly lead to people deciding to take some kind of action, but that action is what harms people and those actions are very likely already illegal.

When it comes to separation of powers, that's a much bigger discussion but I have concerns over how our three branches operate in the US today. Our legislative branch has outsourced much of their power to the executive branch, though the overturn of Chevron may eventually help that. I wish it were as simply as voting, but I'm generally only offered one or two options for most elected positions and when it comes down to it neither party will allow anyone on the ballot that wants to actually reform anything meaningful about how the system works.
I completely agree with you. It's astonishing how many policy makers think in terms of how they wish the world to function, instead of how it actually functions.
> My experience with my laptops is that windows will arbitrarily use 2-3x idle power draw while on battery for no apparent reason.

Preinstalled bloatware is a massive problem for the average consumer. My partner is constantly surprised how well windows runs on the computers we have in our house - she’s so used to windows computers running all sorts of crap all the time. Our media box is just bare windows, but with all the obnoxious stuff disabled. (Like start menu news items, game bar, telemetry and all that).

Most work computers running windows come with antivirus and rootkits like crowdstrike. And personal computers are usually even worse. I bought a brand new HP machine a few years ago which idled at about 15% cpu usage, even on battery. It got hot and ran itself flat in no time, just sitting there. Turns out it was running some bloatware hp audio noise cancellation plugin or something all the time, even when the microphone wasn’t in use.

Modern computers are crazy fast. But there’s not much power left over if you install clown car of crap on them.

Its not a cop out. How can you as a citizen try to stay on the right side of the law when laws are horribly verbose, difficult to understand, and full of gray area?

Show HN: I created a Next.js CLI to ship code like a hacker
Hey HN ,

My product is targeted at developers who want to save 20+ hours writing the same boilerplate code.

*Next Inject* is a CLI that lets you configure services such as payments, authentication, and SEO with a single command.

*Next Inject* is straight to the point; you get exactly what you pay for, i.e. run `next-inject add stripe` and voila, you can now accept payments from users.

Now there are products like shipfa.st that solve this problem, but for *6x* the price, and *20x* more boilerplate to overwhelm developers.

Additionally, each Next Inject plugin has an optimized docs page to help you finish configuration outside your app as quick as possible; think stripe keys, webhooks.

If you want to learn more, please check our landing page and leave some feedback here. We are always looking for new ways to improve our product.

Assuming at least one of the axles is driven by an electric motor, you can lock them in software. That's also what you'd need to do for rock crawling - you don't just want to avoid losing power to a lifted wheel, you want all wheels to rotate with the same steady velocity regardless of conditions so that all wheels remain in static friction (zero slip, which is not possible with e.g. brake-driven soft locking).

An electric vehicle with a motor per wheel can do this. Your vehicle would need lockers on front and rear diff, and appropriate software to soft-lock front and rear.
Let's add some substance to the discussion:

Similar to in Hungary. In hungarian milk bar is called "tejivó". There is a popular chain nowadays running under the name. This is what they say on their website about the history of the name:

"The milk bar ("tejivó" in Hungarian) is no new invention. Its history in Budapest dates back to the early 20th century. Such shops used to sell beverages made with milk, soft drinks and pastry. Some Hungarians still recall the exceptional atmosphere of these establishments, and the splendid feeling of sipping a steaming cup of coffee while eating a delicious croissant."

>vehicle really really shouldn’t leave the suburban pavement

This is also nonsense.

I'm an avid fisherman and (former) hunter. I grew up in Northern Ontario.

I had an Subaru Forrester and took it everywhere. Yes, there's a big difference between AWD and 4WD. Yes, you can get in trouble without a locking diff. Yes, ground clearance will be an issue.

But the idea that these vehicles can't leave the pavement is simply not true. They are surprisingly capable. And as someone who now owns a half ton pickup for the same usage, their small stature on the trail is an advantage.

The term Mitteldeutschland has a far longer history going back to the 19th century - to define a different collection of region between the big Northern Germany (then prussian dominated) and Southern Germany (then Bavarian and partially Austrian dominated). I'm not sure if it was wise to keep using it because of misunderstandings like yours, but there seem to a form of mitteldeutscher identity. And what is called Ostdeutschland ist not just MDR but also RBB and NDR. Take a look at the map: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:ARD_Karte.svg

> Or it is my home server sitting at my router serving my family.

That works in your situation, but not for most people who don't want to have to maintain a moving part. Also hosting in general on a residential connection can depend on the provider and even availability of good internet.

For a lot of people it wouldn't even be possible if they wanted to and that's not getting into the technical investment they would have to make in knowing how to do such a thing in the first place.

> And here you make the dangerous mistake that I most hate. It's not only trivially easy for the server operator to leak metadata, it's actually HARD to avoid it.

It's a lot easier than simply not having that data server side in the first place like Signal for example.
Hmmm yeah, I haven't done the math and was maybe a bit too ambitious/optimistic.
Personal perspective

> Here are some questions I’ve found fun to ask people I’ve just met to get to know them.

If you are asking these questions to people for fun, I’m very certain that it won’t be fun very long with most of the people you meet.

I've found that the best way is to nudge people to let them talk more about their things (be it work, of personal/family) from their own. Based on their own stories, and the narrative, augment that with relevant questions and keep making them talk. Based on the body language, and the tone, it is easy to realize that sometime I need to talk too and I try to "communicate."

All the questions, I feel, will come out in time eventually. Don't make it an interview to complete within a time-slot or at one-go.

The fact that a Subaru got cited in the article is ridiculous. This vehicle is far more capable than even some cheaper 4 wheel drive systems.
