You say this as if it is an original idea. Of course the IA is working on this and have been for over 6 years. There already is a DWeb version. They have been advancing DWeb infrastructure. The IA hosts all kinds of DWeb developer events.

But it is over 50 petabytes and the IA gets a huge amount of traffic through the regular web that they need to serve quickly and efficiently to their users.

Guess what has happened over 6 years of decentralization of 50 TB? People only seed what they want or care about and there aren't enough seeders to host. They set all this up and nobody volunteers. You're a DWeb advocate and you haven't been seeding. That's a recipe for disaster if they rely on the goodness of volunteer seeders. The IA's mission is broader. DWeb will ever only compliment the IAs mission.

A non-mocking use of mine: I have a factory with a method that returns instances of a particular interface for publishing typed events to a pub/sub service. The caller of the factory doesn't have to be updated with new concrete types as new events are added, because it's the factory's responsibility to create the events. The event types themselves just implement the interface that's required to serialize them for the pub/sub service.

Technically speaking that would be much harder: pagers don’t have microphones, and most don’t transmit - and those that do send very small messages.

Mercedes' new entry-level CLA EV teased with a sleek design ahead of its debut
Let's say you want to test bootstrapping your system with various configurations.

You could make a few dozen different configuration files. Or maybe it's more than that because you want to test permutations. Now you're maintaining a bestiary.

So instead you think "I'll write code that generates the config file for each test". And that's reasonable sometimes.

On the other hand, the single-responsibility principle can be reasonably applied here and "reading the config data" is a good single responsibility. You don't want to have to write code to muck with json or xml every time some component needs a configuration value. So there should already be a clean boundary here and it often makes sense to test the components separately.

There's not one rule. The article author sounds like an excitable jr engineer that's never written software at scale.

Yeah came here to say this. The central argument Anduril makes here is preposterous, to the point where it feels like the whole enterprise is entirely unserious. Let's ask a basic logic question here: if the supposition is that one side has to have superior military technology lest the other side declare war on it, why isn't China at war with the US right now? Why isn't Russia at war with the US right now, or India, or Japan, or Pakistan, or Brazil, or Mexico, or Canada? Could it perhaps be there are other variables involved?

This deck feels like it was unearthed from a time capsule buried in 2010. "The Pentagon operated like a startup." Woof. "Move fast and break things" is maybe not the ideal motto when lives are at stake.

I suspect that phrase is doing a lot of heavy lifting and would not be surprised if the length of the required paperwork increases in good time.

It is also worth reading the FAQ, it very much sounds like it remains the case that you are not going to escape 20 pages of paperwork, just that they are kicking the can down the road:

"If your application is accepted, our team will reach out to you for the necessary paperwork (such as tax residency documents required by Indian laws) before processing the funds. This generally involves back-and-forth communication over email and can take up to 4 weeks"

I agree. And I am dismayed that government and academic institutions like to dance around the legal issues of archiving (outsourcing the legal risk to Internet Archive), instead of pushing for legal protections/exemptions for the act of archiving.
It is not my original idea, but it is an obvious idea to anyone who knows how the internet works, I just added it to get the discussion going.
If this were true you would see a lawsuit based on Leahy law in the states. The fact is it's just not. Israel has held aid occasionally but most of the problem with supplies have to do with Hamas stealing them.

Hello

I see it is not a drop in when using other tools, plug ins, 3rd party things.

But what about just a plain vanilla world.

Can Pumpkin read in and use the plain vanilla files? Does it do some kind of conversion and have it's own file structure?

So if I had a simple server, it could be a drop-in.

Or does the world need to be generated new inside Pumpkin? I can't use existing worlds.
Wikipedia is just being weird by using an MF band in its example. Most WSPR is in the shortwave bands, which can use large antennas, but not THAT large.
It's like using a sledgehammer for a picture hook. I think QT is a great tool, and it solves this problem nicely, but it's a full blown framework, and if you're already using something else - particularly if it's something "light" like SDL, or just a platform specific library like Win32, it's an awful lot to pull in (plus compile times, licensing, etc).
All clients today (and probably back then) have options to limit bandwidth consumption including throttling, scheduling, and total data transfer caps. For serving mostly HTML and images, dedicating even 10% of a home broadband connection to serving content would allow many, many people per day to access archived pages.
They tried this in the communist countries when they were still around. Sure, people had affordable housing and didn't have to worry about homelessness, but at what cost? That's not a rhetorical question.
This section of the literal Geneva Convention [1], which Israel is a signatory of [2] seems rather relevant. While this article's breakdown of the what's and how's is quite interesting, keeping international law in mind while talking about the attack seems important.

Lack of understanding coming into the courses causes issues, when I started we had to delay things because some students hadn't encountered matrixes and the maths around them.

State estate tax is just a tax on people who are ignorant of it, unwilling to plan for it or who's relationship with their heir(s) is too dysfunctional to dodge it. The rich almost always avoid it. The poor are never subject to it.

If I ask my repository (backed by an sql db) to get a user, there might be 3 different scenarios I'm interested in:

- No technical problem, and a user entry

You need the Result for the technical problems, and the Option for whether there's a user entry or not.

Unfortunately in the US many important agencies chose to use it to publish announcements, even for important public safety things. I don't have an account and am thus prevented from seeing what the agencies are saying. I would like to see regulations preventing governments from doing this.

So much stuff has several layers of taxes on it but "double taxation" is really only used when discussing inheritance taxes.

It's a term wealthy people made up to trick poor people into feeling sorry for ultra wealthy actually paying taxes on things.
> Is that true in the EU? In the US, there are certainly agencies and local governments who primarily or only communicate real time news through Twitter.

Hard to say how it works across the EU, but in Spain, there was a point where many of the various local arms of government did use Twitter as the primary tool to reach people, at least here in Barcelona/Catalunya. Not all agencies, and never as the only communication tool, but things often appeared there first.

At one point, Telegram was added to the mix, and seems it's usage is kind of spread now, but again, never the only communication path, just another channel. Twitter usage fell at some point too.

All the important information still goes out via proper websites.

That a government agency would use a for-profit platform for its primary and only way of communicating with the citizens sounds absolutely bananas to me, but I guess it makes sense for a country centered around for-profit enterprises.
There's no grownup in the room who will fix this. "You're It". I recommend that you take this opportunity to download 1 favourite old website/article/piece of software from the Archive and rehost it on your own site. Reach out to me if you'd like help with getting started.

> spying would make more sense to me..

Probably they did. The problem with pager like communication is that it is very easy to employ codewords. Something like "if we send orange, bring your weapon and meet us at the market, if we send pear pack a week worth of stuff and meet us at the pumping station, if we send melon disappear to the countryside for two days". Monitoring that can give you a sense that "something is happening" but it won't tell you exactly what. So all in all it is not terribly valuable.

But if I would be working for Hez I would assume that all communication over the pagers have been completely compromised.

I don't get why so many organizations do this. Wouldn't you just want some kind of news feed on your website? The whole social aspect of Twitter doesn't matter for this, they just want to push out timestamped messages in a queue. Is it so hard to host something that does this?

`curl -v https://twitter.com` returns HTTP 302 for me, which is kind of funny. If the redirect was permanent, they'd use HTTP 301 (Moved Permanently) but instead they use HTTP 302 is amounts to "Moved Temporarily".

My Experiment to Simplify Video Creation for Everyone
Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a project to simplify video production, making it as easy as writing an article. The idea is to allow anyone to create videos in minutes without needing design or editing skills—just copy, paste, and click “Create.” It’s a quick way to turn content into video, like you would when publishing a blog post.

The motivation behind this is simple: I’m lazy when it comes to reading, and videos are often easier to consume. It’s 2024, and I think every article should have a video version to make content more accessible. This could be useful for content creators who want to share blog posts on social media, course creators looking to make educational videos quickly, or anyone needing to create documentation and onboarding videos without the usual hassle.

Next steps include adding more professional themes, incorporating AI tools to convert PDFs and articles into videos, and improving animations. There’s also the idea of a video catalog where anyone can share their videos, kind of like a niche YouTube. I’d love to get your feedback—do you think this is something worth building?

If a train company causes an accident they are considered liable if a software company leaks my data they should be considered liable, it's as simple as that, no need for this anti government stands that frankly make adults look like angry teenagers with a bad bladder

A few years ago I was worrying on a Byzantine mess of a JS project. I converted everything to TS for the sole reason of somewhat safely refactoring the project as a whole.

After that, feature development was a lot faster in terms of productivity again.
