That’s what’s truly interesting about BlueSky. It allows for side A and B to both exist, with people who want to be more isolated in a safe space (so to speak) to do so. That’s a really great property. If I want to engage with content I severely disagree with, I can put it in a feed I check infrequently so that it doesn’t impact my life.

Humans aren’t good at coping with a constant barrage of disagreeable (for one’s personal definition of disagreeable) or inflammatory content.

People defending themselves from bigotry, and bigots themselves, are not equivalent. Black people not wanting racists to exist, and racists not wanting black people to exist, do you see a distinction?

There has been such a consistent attempt at ramming square pegs into round holes online in trying to “both sides” a bunch of these issues.

One trait is immutable and the other is not.

One trait is entirely internally focused and is not defined by a rejection of anyone external to the subject, the other's trait is entirely defined by such an external focus on the rejection of another person's immutable identity.
The big-picture view is here: https://gitlab.com/owl-lisp/owl/-/blob/master/doc/manual.md

Key points include:

- 100% immutable datastructures

- Immutability is leveraged to make a lot of core operations concurrent

- Continuation-based threading model and Actor-based concurrency

- Fun little VM implemented behind the scenes

That being said, the documentation strongly contradicts the title!

It’s not just external systems. In many (most?) places, when sorting by name, you use the family names first, then the given names. So you can’t correctly sort by name unless you split the fields. Having a single field, in this case, is “an oversimplification that leads to errors”.
This is a weird opinion, but I think that the OS package manager's complexity is largely owing to the unix directory structure which it just dumps all binaries in /bin, all configuration files in /etc, all libraries in /lib. It comes from a time where everything on the OS was developed by the same group of people.

By dumping all the same file types in massive top-level directories, you need a separate program (the package manager) to keep track of which files belong to which packages and dealing with their versions and ABI and stuff. Each package represents code developed by a specific group with a certain model of the system's interoperability.

GoboLinux has an interesting play on the problem by changing the directory structure so that the filesystem does most of the heavy lifting.
One could perhaps say that short-termism is complacency about the future.
The real world is a complicated place. You want simple answers when reality is complicated and nuanced.

The fact is that there are—and have always been—people for which these things are not the same. You might want to wish it away, but that doesn't change reality.
Your example fails to explain any problem with GPs proposal. They would show you a transliteration of your name and ask you to confirm it. You would confirm it or not. It might match one or other of your IDs (in which case you would presumably say yes) or not (in which case you would presumably say no). What's the issue?
I still feel that an enormous amount of why threads shows up in data analytics is because Instagram just added it on and made an account for everyone.

It wasn't adopted, it was falsely created.

I'd go even further to say that it isn't a social network, it's an add-on to another social network.

Have you looked at AVF with upstreamed pKVM? It will allow full Linux VMs with root, the low-level plumbing is present, but not yet easily exposed to users. GrapheneOS can run on Pixel tablet, and plans to support AVF/pKVM VMs, enabling many more use cases than Apple iPadOS.

No, that's also a question that is culturally dependent. In some contexts it's normal and expected.

that solution isn't without issues. specifically, you have to climb trees and run power or do solar, and then if there's a heavy storm you can have issues. those aren't insurmountable problems but being able to get Internet anywhere there's liner of sight to the sky is easier (or harder!) depending on the terrain.
I like that aspect about Bluesky too.

On “safe spaces”, as you hint at I think many of us don’t want to be shielded entirely from opposing or otherwise differing lines of thought. Speaking personally, I welcome it if there’s actual discussion to be had. Good faith discussions and exchange of perspectives is great, but I have no patience for trolls, circular logic, insults, “debate” that wouldn’t even pass for high school level, etc.
>but I’m going to guess Bluesky will be the same

I disagree. Bluesky will grow further and then be like a "Coke or Pepsi" to Twitter. (Albeit, it will stay smaller than Twitter.)

I have 2 threads accounts and never created a single one. That's because I had 2 Instagram accounts.

The difference is people chose to go to Bluesky, Threads accounts were just added on to your Insta account by Meta.

I think Dark Sky firmly belongs in the "Aquihire" category. While I can't say Apple "did me dirty", I think they did themselves dirty by buying a great weather app, scuttling it, and then not doing a good job (any job?) of integrating what made the original app great. I don't feel like I - as a user - got anything out of that deal, and, frankly, I don't understand what Apple got out of that deal.
Let me get this right. To save the planet Denmark wants to stop producing food locally and instead import more? So those pig farts gotta go but the bunker fuel used to ship grain from a slash and burn rainforest farm in Brazil is a-ok.

Utterly brain dead. So much so that you know someone’s getting paid from these decisions.

Cobol's still around. Just because a language exists doesn't mean that we have to keep releasing updated specifications and compiler versions rather than moving all those resources to better languages.
I am very conflicted on a carbon tax for the agriculture industry. It is going to sidle a cost to an industry of razor thin margins. The transition from regenerative agriculture is expensive & rising food costs has a destabilizing effect.

There need to be changes, but I am not convinced that this will have the desired effects. Its quite possible this leads to a net conversion of farmland to residential or commercial property rather than nature.

The idea that RAII covers "99% of your ass" is "the low-IQ level statement".

Temporal safety is the primary hard problem from a memory safety standpoint, and RAII does nothing to solve it at least the moment a memory allocation crosses abstraction boundaries.
If it doesn’t change anything, why is it needed then? And I don’t think it is faster than a human matching the ID card against a person at all.

It’s really frustrating that the HotOS paper itself has no details about the benchmarking, and the blog post just says “redis benchmark”. What was the system setup? Persistence options?

All those points are true, but it doesn't change the fact that Starlink will be quite profitable for SpaceX.

Currently, each launch of 23 Starlink satellites costs SpaceX around $50 million. To get 1,000 direct to cell satellites in orbit, they'll need to launch 44 times, costing them $2.2 billion. Due to the low orbits, air resistance causes the satellites to reenter within 5-10 years, so to maintain the constellation they'll need to spend $220-440 million per year. These costs will be much lower when they switch from Falcon 9 to Starship.

Now let's say only 1% of the population wants Starlink direct to cell. That's still 80 million people. If SpaceX charges cell companies $10/month per user for the service, that's almost $10 billion per year. And that's not counting the money they make from selling Starlink Internet, which currently has over 4 million subscribers. At $100/month, that's $4.8 billion per year in revenue.

So Starlink is profitable without direct to cell technology, but since they're launching the satellites anyway, they might as well collect more revenue by adding cell capability. DTC only becomes unprofitable if the cost of the extra hardware and mass is less than DTC subscriber revenue.
> Is this necessary to correctly represent human language?

Yes! As soon as you have any invisible characters (eg. RTL or LTR marks, which are required to represent human language), you will be able to encode any data you want.
It’s gonna be incredibly interesting to see what happens concerning this. I suspect that bots will probably thrive in feeds where ‘the algorithm’ is responsible for recommending most content. However, bots probably won’t do as well with vanilla follower feeds.
Some flight agents kinda force it on passengers, specially JetBlue ones. They say it is ‘mandatory’, but in reality they do not know or ignore their own protocols.
How would the numbers change if the EU and the US started manufacturing everything they've outsourced to China's.manufacturing?
yes, but like 50-70% of the crops grown is animal feed. if Denmark really needed efficient food for the population i think the whole thing could be done more efficiently and those 10% won't be missed.
Hmm, lets see: 8% * 25% = 2%
RAII only helps with 1 of 4 primary cases of safety. RAII deals (badly) with temporal safety, but not spacial safety (bounds errors etc), safe initialization (use before initialization), or undefined behavior (overflow/underflow, aliasing, etc).
The quack archeology field is pretty massive. I see what you’re saying and I wouldn’t be surprised if it is a little bit of both column A in some cases and column B with others.
> Do you prefer the uncertainty of silent miscompilations and undefined behavior to upfront compiler errors?

Yes because then I don't have to spend hours writing esoteric spaghetti code to prove something to the compiler that is trivially known to be true. Your error is assuming static lifetime checking is free. As an engineer, I use judgement to make context-dependent trade offs.

If you like playing the compiler olympics, or your employer forces you to, please use Rust.
Bluesky’s attitude seems logical and their reasoning aligns with my thoughts exactly.

If techdirt’s article is to be believed, Dorsey’s departure has to do with going from an extreme to an extreme—from a traditional social monolith to a pure protocol—whereas Bluesky chose to pursue not only the protocol, but also “the app” as the face of that protocol for the ordinary user, and let’s face it: the ordinary user does not really care about protocols.

My speculation about him suggesting people “stay on Twitter” is that Nostr (which he apparently is invested in now) and Twitter are orthogonal, so there is no conflict there, but Bluesky competes with both.

Not a Bluesky user (the invite-only period has put me off for a while), but if they do not compromise on the protocol part (and there are no shenanigans unfolding, who knows, maybe Dorsey found something) their attitude seems to me to be the most reasonable for a mainstream social platform.
They don't have time to waste, they have to get as much cheap stuff out as possible before further tariffs.
In HTML if you use <input type="email"> you basically get a regex validation. While it not fully follows the RFC it's a good middle ground. And it gives you an email that you can use on the internet (RFC obviously has some cases that are outside of this scope). That's why I tend to prefer what's defined in the standard: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#email-stat...

Is it inevitable? I am not sure either way.

I think that if you look at real-life Friend-to-Friend groups, this is what you find: clusters of people with similar values. So it it makes sense that the same applies to F2F groups over the internet. But most social media is not F2F groups.

Most (advertiser-driven) social media (including this site) is based on the idea of what I call "implicit ranking": The idea that a user can influence what another user sees (through "likes", "votes", "reports", "bumps", etc.) without having an explicit consensual relationship with them (such as a "subscription", "following", or "sharing" or "direct message channel").

This "implicit ranking" model is pretty successful because it is better at finding engaging content is and probably the dominant form of social media. In contrast to F2F, implicit ranking networks tend to promote controversial content from outgroups because angry users are engaged. We all love to flamewar sometimes, I'll admit it.
A 2% reduction is absolutely moving the needle.

Mostly python and js, so the most popular ones. I should mention that I do use obscure modules and packages in each language where chatGPT starts to suck a little. I imagine this might be similar to how chat might work with Rust or Zig, etc.

You are basically arguing that facil recognition is not needed, which doesn’t seem what you want to argue about.

Why not 5%, 10%, 100%. It's just made up numbers.

Will it be a good business for Starlink, sure. Will it change the world, probably not.

No, if you have temporal safety issues you didn't understand RAII. That is pretty much the whole point of RAII.
Author here. Yes there were many times while writing this that I wanted to insert nuance, but couldn't without breaking the format too much.

I appreciate the wide range of interpretations! I don't necessarily think you should always move to k8s in those situations. I just want people to not dismiss k8s outright for being overly-complex without thinking too hard about it. "You will evolve towards analogues of those design ideas" is a good way to put it.

That's also how I interpreted the original post about compilers. The reader is stubbornly refusing to acknowledge that compilers have irreducible complexity. They think they can build something simpler, but end up rediscovering the same path that lead to the creation of compilers in the first place.
There's at least one major exception to this: Unicode normalization.

It's possible for the same logical character to have two different sets of code points (for example, a-with-umlaut as a single character, vs a followed by umlaut combining diacritic). Related, distinguishing between the "a" character in Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and the handful of other times it shows up throughout Unicode.

This comes up in at least 3 ways:

1. A usability issue. It's not always easy to predict which identical-looking variant is produced by different input methods, so users enter the identical-looking characters on different devices but get an account not found error.

2. A security issue. If some of your backend systems handle these kinds of characters differently, that can cause all kinds of weird bugs, some of which can be exploited.

3. An abuse issue. If it's possible to create accounts with the same-looking name as others that aren't the same account, there can be vectors for impersonation, harassment, and other issues.

So you have to make a policy choice about how to handle this problem. The only things that I've seen work are either restricting the allowed characters (often just to printable ASCII) or being very clear and strict about always performing one of the standard Unicode transformations. But doing that transformation consistently across a big codebase has some real challenges: in particular, it can change based on Unicode version, and guaranteeing that all potential services use the same Unicode version is really non-trivial. So lots of people make the (sensible) choice not to deal with it.

But yeah, agreed that parenthesis should be OK.
Well. They are producing almost anything which is consumed by the EU, so what exactly is the point of pointing fingers at them for doing the dirty work?

For me it's a very easy choice to go with Bluesky over Threads.

With Threads you can already see that Facebook/Instagram is in it's DNA. There's no pure "following" feed. It's instead an algorithmic feed that mixes people you follow with people Threads decides to push. So it's going down the enshittification path from day one.

With Bluesky there's at least some hope that it will not end up as the algorithmic time sinks all other social media has slowly become. I'm all for discoverability, but allow me to decide when and how I discover new people to follow. Never touch my "following" feed, and I'll be happy.

You should know better than to take the word of an anonymous comment and call it fact. Andrew T. (the guy in question) gave this statement on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1gynl1v/c_stan... The rumors surrounding him appear to have originated from https://izzys.casa/2024/11/on-safe-cxx/ What we know is that he was asked to change the title after people complained, and he pushed back on that, knowing it would result in him being kicked out. He views himself as standing up for his moral principles. He also wants the public attention, since he was the one who posted the story to Reddit on /r/cpp. It honestly makes me sad to watch a guy who went to Stanford and worked at Apple and Google get involved with drama like this.
And you’ve already had comms in most places in the world including the polar regions for some time now. This is about lower cost and ubiquitous access.
A feature of Bluesky is the ability to change your feed algorithm (or code your own - yes I wrote ‘code’). You can easily filter all political (labeled) content. To say that BS is an echo chamber is untrue, though I do not disbelieve that you observed that algorithmic choice when you first tried the app. There are many echo chambers for sure, but the protocol is designed to permit you to exclude or join them. Unlike competitor systems (which I also use, and dislike more and more due to the lack of ability to choose what I see - despite trying).
The government has all sorts of policy goals. Resilience, employment, etc.

In the US, Nixon era policy and legal thinking drives all things. Price is king, except it isn’t. Our crazy governance model means that corn is better represented than humans, so our food is more expensive, less nutritious, and our supply chains are incredibly fragile.

Yeah those are what I'm looking at, but even then we've been at 8Gb for years. Manufacturers only want SLC NAND in these for valid reasons and I guess the market isn't pushing for now. The 9x8 is useful but the 3.3v that eMMC wants means I can't power off a single cell li-ion without a boost. It's all a nightmare. Trust me I've looked for solutions, unless you know of any silver bullets that came out recently.

And as you surely know, I usually can't boot from NAND (due to the aforementioned annoyance) so I'd have a boot flash and a storage flash and that's unideal.

I'll note though that the controllers are small. You can RE the die size of a common eMMC<->NAND controller and it's much smaller than 9x8. I won't share which because I honestly don't remember if we got an NDA in place but considering they all stack dies in there anyway, I don't really see that as the size driver.
Thanks, I tried to minimize the amount of code to the bare necessities. It actually pained me that JavaScript was required to get a cross-platform version working.
