It's not progressive. It's protectionist. The people they're protecting carry a lot of guilt, and so really like the "progressive" label, it's puts a really nice spin on their particular version of graft and corruption.
Not necessarily. He may have thought he was in danger.

FWIW, France do not extradite its citizen and Pavel Durov is french. He may have been arrested but that doesn't mean he will stay in detention depending on the nature of the charge and his eventual cooperation. Who knows, maybe he called before landing in France so that he was arrested and seen as cooperative.
100%!! Ray-Bans are iconic, so whatever comes next will be extremely dorky in comparison.

The proof will be in the pudding: how useful is it to chat with llama? (I'm extremely skeptical but want it to be cool)
I used to believe that I was good at math because my memory was shit. So I had to actually understand everything, because I couldn't rely on memorizing it.

But some random facts were easy to memorize, for example that the chessboard has 64 fields. I had problems with 6×9 and 7×8 though, always confused about which one was 54 and which one was 56.

The amount of obviously illegal content on Telegram makes it plain that, for all intents and purposes, it is an un-moderated platform. They sporadically moderate when there's serious pressure, but for the most part do nothing.
Defenders need to win every single time. Attackers only need win once. So attackers win.
Yeah. Basically Telegram is the new dark web, but for people to dumb to understand that it logs everything.
Compared to other models the 737 MAX had horrific deaths per passenger mile after the accidents.
Huh, I thought MSVC had a libc++-style SSO implementation. Now I have to wonder where I got that mistaken impression :(
"Welp.. funding terrorists and then pretending like we're afraid of them didn't work, how about we fund child pornographers and then pretend like we just can't catch them if encryption exists."

Typical modern law enforcement incompetence. They don't care about you. They just want to protect their access to your data.
Private messages aren’t end-to-end encrypted either. The so-called secret chats are end-to-end encrypted but are a major pain to use. I doubt that feature sees much use.
Keep at it, let the time heal you, I’m rooting for you. I was, and still am, having mental health issues for many reasons. Some are permanent, some are not.

The recent relicensing of Redis to a non-open-source license bothered many in the community. But the groundwork for the relicensing was laid much earlier. I've been working on relicensing monitor to track various projects attributes that can affect the ease of relicensing a project.

Those visualizations of network graphs enhanced by segmentation/clustering data are at least a decade old. As is studying how attackers traverse.

I am currently working on CyberScraper-2077 its a powerful web scraper powered by LLM.

> Do you just fundamentally disagree with the idea of scientists doing research and theorizing potential technosignatures?

I guess my disdain for this field's scientific rigor shines through. When hypotheses aren't testable...

> Calling this a blog is also quite dismissive - it's not like this is some random dude who wrote some random stuff and got picked up. It's a work in progress from one of the most knowledgeable scientists in this field.

That is a fair point!
> I think it is perfectly fair for governments to have some control to take down large channels that are clearly against the law

How is a channel "against the law?"

Do you mean access to the channel is creating opportunities for lawlessness that simply wouldn't exist otherwise? I'm not sure the French justice system has demonstrated that it has exhausted all options other than to handcuff a CEO of one particular platform.
Out of curiosity, what language do you think the Java, JavaScript, and Python VMs and garbage collectors are written in? If you can understand why the VM is typically written in a systems programming language that doesn't itself have a VM or garbage collector, then you can start to think about why this is useful regardless of whether performance matters or not (& Java and C# are generally considered fairly high performance languages and VM implementations with efficient garbage collectors - the downsides may not matter to your problem domain).
I'm building a keyboard-driven editor for designing UI. You could think of it as a weird bastard child of Vim and Webflow. I've been tinkering with it for a while in private, but I'd like to shift gears and start working on it publicly.

The editor itself isn't available yet, but I've got a Github readme that explains the concept a bit more: https://github.com/matry/editor

Eventually I'll do a ShowHN, once I get a stable version that I feel comfortable demoing.
Working on Pulselyre, a touch-focused Windows app for producing electronic music live. It doesn't output audio on its own, but it lets you configure various virtual "instruments" on screen that can send MIDI note and control messages to other MIDI devices or VSTs configured to receive MIDI messages. You can record notes and events for each instrument and then loop them over a configured number of beats. Also has some other features to make creating music easier, like saving/loading note sequences, an arpeggiator, receiving input from external MIDI controllers/keyboards, and some other stuff. I've been meaning to record a demo video, but I'm not actually very good at playing or making music myself, so I haven't come up with anything presentable yet. I'm also not really married to the name, but it works for now...

It's built using C# and WPF, and a related project I work on is an open source MVVM framework called UpbeatUI for making WPF apps that behave vaguely like mobile apps. It's for apps that have a main bottom layer and modal popups that float above and can be closed by clicking/touching the background. Pulselyre uses UpbeatUI, and I actually originally extracted UpbeatUI from a much older version of Pulselyre.

In my novel (see profile), there are stories within the story as well as simultaneous actions. I wanted to typeset simultaneous events set within a sub-story. Using Markdown, a natural way to do this would be:

If you can't do checklists though, you can't do anything else.

All activities have lists and recurring calendar entries at their heart.

You have to regularly show up and do the things.

I agree that deeper / better approaches are required during the "do the things" steps.
CSV or PNG weren't created with encryption in mind, but one can easily encrypt them. Apple can always make their own proprietary protocol. This doesn't explain anything. However the version that the govt wants to be able to see who is in person't contact list explains it well.

After you think about it too much you realize that it's great cinema but parts of it doesn't work ("So the Protagonist emerges from the turnstile, going backwards in time, shoots at himself (!!!), misses, and then those bullet holes in the shatterproof glass travel backwards in time until... the glass is manufactured in the glass factory?")

(Yes? Or am I missing something? Let me know if I am - the 'bullet holes going backwards in time' bugs me. Like, why would contractors install the bullet-ridden panel? :) )

I'm a Flutter developer starting to be a bit disappointed in the tech (and the community) and sceptical if it can really produce great apps, so I'm thinking about switching to something new in the coming years.

I decided to build a multiplatform app with SwiftUI to test out the waters. So far, learning SwiftUI and building an app is somehow both easier and harder than expected, but I'm glad to see something new.

I'm planning to write a series of apps in the next 6 months, so that I build confidence shipping apps with SwiftUI and maybe find a smaller contract with it.
2TB RAM on a single server is possible these days and isn't even exotic anymore.

Nonsense. No advanced civilization would permit such a thing. Yes, it's the most efficient means of generating energy known. But feeding something like that is exceedingly hard. You can't just drop mass in, such small black holes will be past the Eddington limit. You'll need a particle accelerator yeeting stuff at it with incredible precision and if you mess up it's going to blow. And do some pretty nasty things to the planet.

I'm not finding any good answers to where the Eddington limit is but what I am finding has a few more zeroes than this and simply doesn't glow brightly enough to be useful.

For the past year, I've been working on a CSS Masterclass: https://cssmasterclass.io/

It's going to have online text courses with interactive examples and coding exercises, but I'm also in the process of adding video tutorials. These videos will be of 2 types: ones where I teach you the theory, and ones where we actually build a project from scratch.

I feel like CSS has always been something that was made to look harder than it actually is. In its essence, the syntax is very simple, and the vocabulary is quite basic. There are only a few things you need to know to be able to code an attractive and flexible responsive web page. For comparison, I find programming backends much more difficult.

Even though I've been working on this project for almost a year, I decided that next month will be the day I finally launch it.
Do you consider this specific bit of speculation on what we perhaps might look for as evidence of alien life is a fantasy or the entire idea of alien life?
I'm working on a plasmid (vector) editor called PlasCAD, for molecular biology. I'm doing it mainly as a learning project, and trying to fill in the gaps where I found limitations in existing software. As of last week, it's in a state where the main features are there. I'm going to now focus on polish, and adding specialty features. Would appreciate any and all feedback!

It lets you view and edit plasmid sequences, features, and primers, and has some tools like automatic primer creation for cloning, primer QC, protein sequence viewing, and interop with common file formats.

Yes, the liner is quite comparable to the seat in size, if you mean that. Not sure about the weight.
Right now it only looks at Github PRs, particularly the descriptions and titles (although I'm also experimenting with the code diff itself), for these reasons:

- Most teams that I'd sell to use Github PRs to write code.

- Looking at PRs, the "common unit of change" of most teams, lets Devlog work for teams regardless of how they end up merging in changes (merge commits vs squash vs rebase... doesn't matter because the PR is what is reviewed and submitted)

- I believe that part of being a great engineer is learning how to describe (a) what your code does, (b) why you're making the change, and the PR title+description is where we as an industry expect you to communicate this information.

- A commit history filled with great PR titles+descriptions is extremely valuable for your team and only becomes more valuable over time, so building tools that analyze this and incentivize you to do a better job of writing good titles+descriptions is good for your whole team.

I'm extremely open to looking at different sources of information (Linear/Jira/Github tickets; the diff itself; ???) if it improves the product. What were you thinking it should look at?
I’m working on a tool called Together Gift It. Together Gift It makes managing group gift events like Christmas easier. I’m making it because my family was sending an insane amount of group texts during the holidays, and it was getting ridiculous. My favorite one was when someone included the gift recipient in the group text about what gift we were getting for the recipient.

Together Gift It solves the problem just the way you’d think: with AI.

Just kidding. It solves the problem by keeping everything in one place. No more group texts! You can have private or shared gift lists, and there are some AI features like gift idea collaboration and product search. But the AI stuff is still a work in progress.

I’m grateful for any constructive feedback.

The fact that a JSON parser is the sort of ecological niche where you naturally get a single best library which does basically what everyone wants it to do with minimal dependencies is exactly the argument for putting it in the stdlib, though.

I'm working on Minders [1], a journaling/notes app. I've been using it for a little over a year for daily journaling and keeping track of interesting links or ideas. It works like a Twitter feed of just your thoughts.

It's been fun to work on as I can throw in whatever neat ideas I want since I'm not trying to fit it into a neat category. For instance, I was experimenting with a multi-column browsing experience after I saw a post here [2] for inspiration. The UI could work like TweetDeck but for your notes. Not 100% sure yet if it works, but I'll be doing more prototyping.

Right now I'm revamping the sync system and other runtime parts as I'm realizing that once you start amassing lots of posts, it gets bogged down a bit. I probably could've architected some of it a bit better at the start, but I tend to try to release stuff as early as I can to force myself to ship and to see what people think.

Read-only makes it so a buyer can’t push to main or modify the repo configuration. So to stop someone from paying to “grief” it in the worst case, and just to stop buyers from making changes the owner didn’t sign off on in more typical cases. They can still raise issues and submit PRs, to my knowledge.
Working on a convoluted app devoted choosing a baby name for your new child... but the underlying library is open source, based on public domain data:

https://github.com/jonroig/usBabyNames.js

We're engineers, we want to make data-driven decisions about what we name our children. My app won't necessarily help you choose a name, per se, but it can assist in eliminating a lot of possible names, giving you a much smaller set of choose from, each of which you can research more. So... like filter by name origin, length, popularity, etc..

These days, I've been working on a small tool to run GUIX as an unprivileged user, so that you can use GUIX profiles as a dev environment builder. I didn’t do any market research, but AFAIK there are similar tools using Nix. Honestly, this is just a toy project for fun. I had GUIX on one hand and Zig on the other, so I figured, why not try something new using both?

Why not Nix? I just don’t like the Nix language. Plus, it seems like they ended up reinventing part of Lisp with their Flakes, which made me even more convinced in using GUIX. The GUIX folks didn't disappoint me, as they utilized the full power of Scheme to design a (internal) DSL that is clean and almost reads like JSON/YAML. I feel quite confident that it’s a better language for building devenvs for most people. The only downside is that it can get really verbose, but, hey, at least you have full control.

It's not quite that bad. For example, the Boston area is arguably as good or better than those two cities. And some higher-income relatively small town/rural areas are pretty decent. But it definitely becomes a bigger consideration as you get older--although you can of course get unlucky at any time.

> Philosophy has an affinity with despotism, due to its predilection for Platonic-fascist top-down solutions that always screw up viciously. Schizoanalysis works differently. It avoids Ideas, and sticks to diagrams: networking software for accessing bodies without organs. BWOs, machinic singularities, or tractor fields emerge through the combination of parts with (rather than into) their whole; arranging composite individuations in a virtual/ actual circuit. They are additive rather than substitutive, and immanent rather than transcendent: executed by functional complexes of currents, switches, and loops, caught in scaling reverberations, and fleeing through intercommunications, from the level of the integrated planetary system to that of atomic assemblages. Multiplicities captured by singularities interconnect as desiring-machines; dissipating entropy by dissociating flows, and recycling their machinism as self-assembling chronogenic circuitry.
I have one that I'm making open source, as a digital montage system.. think of the "memories" feature on Google photos or iCloud.

I basically want that to be open and free. I'll have an app to easily create albums, and have the ability to connect to any storage or montage service you like. You could even make your own app connect to your own storage and montage service, so it can be completely diy. I have a few write-ups but I'm transferring it to notion at the moment so I won't link it just yet.
