Is that really an issue? Huge companies like Microsoft and Google use monorepos, and they hire tens of thousands of people and contractors all with access to the code.

I think it's a natural fear but the reality is that a) most people don't leak source code, and b) access to source code isn't really that valuable. Most source code is too custom to be useful to most other people, and most competitors (outside China at least) wouldn't want to steal code anyway.

Actually I did find this answer on how Google does it and apparently they do support some ACLs for directories in their monorepo. Microsoft uses Git though so I'm not sure what they do.

Whoa, a flashback! Many, many years ago I worked on online presentation software that dynamically assembled Flash clips from clip-arts / user-provided graphics and text. There was a lot of parsing and reassembling of SWF involved. There used to be Swfmill library, but it didn't have enough stuff in it to deal with animations / transformations. Sigh that was a fun project.

My approach at the time was to have Org-mode tables detailing the meaning and composition of chunks of binary data. That wasn't nearly as comfortable as this editor seems to be, but I was told that it looked very impressive to people looking over my shoulder. Just like in those "hackers movies" where the screen is filled with gibberish sequences of digits and other random characters :)
It's unfortunate that Apple Notes doesn't handle plain text. I'd use it like this if possible.

Anyway, I use TextEdit in plain text and autocomplete, autocorrect and spellcheck all work just fine, as they work in every text box in macOS. That Windows' Notepad got some of that just in 2024[1] is bonkers…

Another use-case is when you are writing threaded code that uses the clone() syscall instead of pthreads, usually for something with high performance, unusual clone flags, or a very small stack.

Most libc functions, including the syscall wrappers and all pthreads functions, aren't safe to call in threads created by raw clone(). Anything that reads or writes errno, for example, is not safe.

I've had to do this a couple of times. One a long time ago was an audio mixing real-time thread for a video game, which had to keep the audio device fed with low-latency frames for sound effects. In those days, pthreads wasn't good enough. For talking to the audio device, we had to use the Linux syscall wrapper macros, which have been replaced by nolibc now. More recently, a thread pool for high-performance storage I/O, which ran slightly faster than io_uring, and ran well on older kernels and ones with io_uring disabled for security.

You use a build system that sandboxes dependencies (Bazel, Buck2, Please, etc.) so that you know there are no undeclared dependencies. Then you can simply query the build system "what could have been affected by this change" and only build/test those things.
dude the founding fathers were all british subjects who committed an act of high treason against the crown. They were well aware that criminal prosecutions can be politicized and applied selectively. If somebody can commit a felony and still get voted in by more than half the country that reflects poorly on the criminal justice system not the election.
I mean that's a lot of pressure for anybody if it's already a set number. I'd say it's better to advertise that you're open to having kids, or at most that you want to have kids.

Even if you want many kids, your potential partner might want kids, too, but feel pressured to have them right away if you say 4.

> So people vote for gay rights, or for self-defense rights, or for "pro choice" rights, etc.

Exactly! That whole paragraph was well stated.

>So if you've preemptively had some putative Defender Of The Faith like Trump memorialize your values in legislation, then you've got relatively less fear driving you to vote defensively.

"memorialize" is a interesting word choice because that covers over the entire "devil is in the details". There is virtually no democratic way to enshrine a set of values in law that can't be overturned by those that disagree, as the supreme court has shown in the decisions on Right of Privacy, Roe v Wade and other landmark legislation and precedence that underpinned American law for decades.

Those were overturned because a concerted and united effort by conservative groups to swing courts to the right by voting in politicians that agreed with those end goals to nominate and select justices that would agree with their values and then immediately began a concerted effort to push cases bringing those laws and precedences they disagree with to the supreme court.

That shift all went back to voting (and voter suppression and gerrymandering but I digress) and they would in a democracy only be able to maintain this shifted balance in the courts and in the government by continuing to vote and win. This was the group Trump was talking to and telling them they wouldn't need to vote anymore. There is no squaring that circle.

While the media has lied about a lot of shit he says and taken it out of context, This statement alone and its anti-democratic meaning would have destroyed any candidates viability in the decades before Trump... That it hasn't shows that its no longer about values or morals, its about sides and identities now.

Thanks. I read the book and feel he’ll be proven largely correct. Won’t relitigate here but I very much appreciate your reply.

It was one of his worst books but not due to his evaluation of the science world. Just way too heavy-handed. He usually had a far lighter touch.
No, it is this attitude, which was even reflected in the speeches the party leaders gave after the breakup, accusing each other of "ideology", that is the problem. Every single party in germany claims to stand for "reasoning", "pragmatism" and accuses others of "ideology". People brandmark anything they disagree with as ideology, as in "heizungsideologie" for example. (The idea that gas heating should be replaced with heay pumps.) Voting for people who are the quietest about expressing their own beliefs and loudest about denouncing other beliefs as "ideology" is exactly how germany got into this mess.
Do I understand correctly that nolibc is just another implementation of the C standard library in terms of Linux syscalls? Comparably to, say, musl libc?
> As usual, the problem with this is that it assumes a way to perfectly identify somebody on the internet

It does not require this, and in fact the solution may be almost entirely outside of the technology realm.

Simply making it illegal would be enough to:

1. Deter a lot of people from enabling social media on the smartphone of their kids

2. Enable a lot of parents to tell their kids that what they are doing is illegal

3. Force BigTech to implement whatever solution fits best to control the age of the user before install. The onus to respect the law is on them.

> You don't need "classical encryption" for quantum key distribution. With QKD you can provably detect if a MITM attack happened.

This is incorrect. QKD can detect passive mitm only. It cannot detect an active mitm.

Which is the main reason its overhyped, since as cool as QKD is, you still need active mitm prevention, so you have to rely on classical crypto anyways.
>“Anti natalism” is not a genetic trait that gets inherited.

Citation needed. There are many things influenced by genetic traits. So many that I think the burden of proof is that you'd have to show that there's no influence of genetic traits here. Add to this memetic influences, and it's clear evolutionary biology that those that want to produce children will have more offspring and thus at some point antinatalism should be reduced as a portion of society.
Nobody seems to talk about the whale in the room which is the concept of short videos, aka digital crack cocaine and the ad business model, aka good old brain washing.

People worry about 'data exfiltration', but that is exactly what these products are - collect data about the users and sell it to advertisers.

Where the servers are located is of very little consequence in my opinion.

Yeah, I mind that 'my data' (whatever that might be) is stored on a communist hard drive and there's a brain washed data scientist running ideological queries through it..
The issue is not the ideology, but the fact that someone is running queries through my data collected while I'm using the digital drug to later manipulate me.
I'm honestly curious: you think people didn't vote for Harris because she was a black woman? What would you estimate the split is between people for whom that is their legitimate reason, and people who just found her to be a bad candidate?

Also curious: you use celebrity endorsements as a goalpost for what should make people care enough to vote. Why? Given the wacky things they often get up to I'd almost see their endorsement as a negative.

> For example, far fewer japanese speak english than other developed countries

My point was specifically about decoupling culture from language. And notably you didn't clarify about the Romanian who I guess must have spoke Spanish.

Sorry but there are many eastern countries that are considered "developed" while the English speaking population is nothing compared to Western countries like in the Europe. Of course I wish they taught if better to open global opportunities but that doesn't mean anything in terms of culture. It's a language issue and luckily AI is much better at dealing with them than culture.

Thanks for your comment! Honestly, I didn’t expect anyone to respond to such a vague post.

The reason I’d build this platform is to help people connect without the distractions of sponsored content or random memes. I stopped using Facebook about seven years ago because I wanted a space where I could simply engage with the people in my network and their thoughts. AdBlock helped for a while, but eventually, my feed filled with random posts from pages I hadn’t followed. I understand that Facebook’s goal is to keep users engaged, but the constant noise led me to switch to Instagram. Unfortunately, Instagram went down a similar path, especially with the rise of Reels.

Now, I mainly use WhatsApp groups to stay connected.

Why are celebrities and influencers on those platforms to begin with?

I considered a model where users could pay to access celebrity posts. It sounds similar to OnlyFans, but I see it as a potential revenue stream or, alternatively, a way to support a fixed monthly fee in exchange for privacy.
As a new service, I think you'll struggle to attract celebrities and influencers. You'd need to have some really compelling reason for them to use the service, and the only compelling reason they'd care about is audience size, which you won't have.

If I were attempting this, I'd design and aim the network for a niche audience of some sort and once that's established, begin expanding to wider audiences.
Exactly. And hedonic adaptation makes all that entertainment with phones, TVs etc meaningless.

Lack of free time is hell. Especially if you spend all your days in the same drab office building. Office work is fine in and of itself, but humans are meant to move, to be outside for a good portion of the day. Work-life balance is more important than the latest gadgets.

I’ve built a social network that has an influencer -> audience model in order to not rely on advertiser revenue. Im trying to figure out the getting users but now.

I’d suggest that the answer is not how to attract celebrities but in the first instance how to attract any users. My platform is novel and interesting and even then it’s not easy.

Exactly, if cigarettes were currently available at any age, and it was proposed to be limited to 18+, you'd get people in here decrying the law, saying it's completely unworkable to prevent absolutely every under age person ever from consuming tobacco, and therefore we shouldn't limit it at all.

It's a very technical misunderstanding of how law works, or the effects law have on society. Legality isn't technicality. Something being physically possible doesn't "break" the law, and breaking a law doesn't render that law useless.

I think there is more to it than a simple "facepalm". In the modern RGB model, green and blue are primary colors, and mixed together, you get cyan, the opposite of red. So the explanation is generally correct, the only thing wrong is that yellow is considered a primary color instead of green.

But look here, and remember the book was published in 1864: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

Look at the color wheels of that period and earlier, especially this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Color_star-en_(terti...

And you see that red is the opposite of green. Why not cyan? I don't know. I guess cyan simply wasn't a well recognized color back then, maybe cyan was called green (a blueish green). Maybe our perception changed with the availability of modern pigments and screens.

As for the color you see when trying the illusion, it is even more interesting because it is actually an impossible color! [1] It doesn't correspond to a wavelength of light or a combination thereof, you can only perceive it through an illusion like this one. If we follow the Wikipedia article, and considering that the afterimage appears on a dark background that would be "stygian cyan". Spooky! Again, the theory was probably unknown in 1864.

Trivial examples of Gtk+ apps seem to be legion but to find a decent tutorial that works its way through a moderately complex and usable app seem to be scarce. In particular I haven't found a decent example of using the GTKBuilder class and complete documentation of the XML properties seems almost nonexistent.

Aside from that, instead of writing a GNOME app in C, isn't Vala or GJS the preferred language now?
As someone who's been playing World of Warcraft for over five years and has tried nearly every type of content—from PvE and PvP to casual dailies and high-level raids—I found this article fascinating. It's amazing to see how gaming has evolved from a niche hobby to an industry with complex social and economic ecosystems.

In my own experience, the in-game economy and player services are integral to the gaming world, especially in games as established as WoW. WoW Boost services (https://wowvendor.com/shop/wow/), for example, have become a go-to for players who want to experience the high-end content but don’t have the time to grind or coordinate with guilds. The demand for boosting shows how players are willing to invest in their experience—time and effort are valuable resources, and not everyone can dedicate endless hours to reach endgame.

Looking back, it’s clear how the ecosystem around WoW has shaped the community. From the introduction of the WoW Token to gold-trading sites and professional boosting services, WoW’s evolution mirrors a broader trend of personalization and accessibility in gaming. However, these shifts do spark debate, as some argue that paid services undermine the game’s integrity. Personally, I believe as long as these services are used responsibly, they add to the gaming experience rather than detract from it.

Overall, the points in this article resonate deeply. Gaming has become a multifaceted space with options for everyone, whether they seek intense challenges or social escapism. Articles like this do a great job of capturing how games have transformed into full ecosystems, balancing between in-game achievements and real-world convenience.
