Using discord for this is such a bonehead move.

That’s rough. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to cope with these limitations, but so far at least I’m happy with the bandwidth.

Interesting. I was told I could purchase a static IP from my technician. But I just decided to use Cloudflare DDNS.

I have quantum fiber. 1 Gb up+down. No data cap. $80/mo “price for life.”

The only downside is it’s still IPv6 Rapid Deployment.

Maybe I just don’t think “country” == “government”, and I try to be careful with my phrasing so as not to make blanket pejorative statements about people.

India is pretty much a piece of shit country

All while being racist as hell

Cognitive dissonance much?

I thought carbon dating of fossils was our best argument against the 4000 years myth.

This makes me so nervous about how AI is going to influence children and adolescents of the coming generations. From iPad kids to AI teens. They’ll be at a huge risk of dissociation from reality.

Agreed.

And sometimes code is not the right medium for communicating domain knowledge. For example, if you are writing code the does some geometric calculations, with lot of trigonometry, etc. Even with clear variable names, it can be hard to decipher without a generous comment or splitting it up into functions with verbose names. Sometimes you really just want a picture of what’s happening, in SVG format, embedded into the function documentation HTML.

Sadly the Android app is no longer maintained, and it hasn’t been released for newer versions of Android.

There’s an unmaintained Windows client.

Actually here is one that’s still active: https://github.com/IJHack/QtPass

One thing I like a lot about Rust is that it rarely does blow my mind.

But one crate that actually did blow my mind is corosensei. It’s not Rust per se that is so crazy here, but the way it’s essentially implementing a new language feature with assembly code. This is how you know Rust really is a systems programming language. I invite you to read the source code.

Clippy will warn you if you don’t use this feature.

This person is no superstar.

What are you talking about? BlueSky has absolutely nothing to do with Facebook. It’s a different company using the open AT Protocol.

Technically it’s an open protocol. Whether or not any other implementations will surface remains to be seen.

There are plenty of good resources online. Here are some topics you probably wouldn’t see in an intro algos course (which I’ve actually used in my career). And I highly recommend finding the motivation for each of these in application rather than just learning them abstractly.

• bloom filter
• btree
• b+ tree
• consensus algos (PAXOS, RAFT, VSR, etc)
• error correction codes (Hamming, Reed Solomon, etc)
• garbage collection (mark+sweep, generational, etc)
• generational arena allocator
• lease (i.e. distributed lock)
• log-structured merge trees
• min-cost + max-flow
• request caching and coalescing
• reservoir sampling
• spatial partition (BVH, kd-tree, etc)
• trie
• write-ahead log

Don’t most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?

Sir, I estimate the project will be completed in 135 days and 11 hours.

I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.
