Clearly you aren't paying attention so allow me to reiterate:

Regardless of one's opinion on the IA or their mission, they objectively did a stupid when they decided to fuck around with copyright law. Publishers (and judges) have demonstrated repeatedly over the last two and a half decades that from a business perspective this is the equivalent of standing on railroad tracks giving an oncoming train the bird. 10/10 for balls, 2/10 for judgement.


Am I missing something? What does Minecraft have to do with half-baked products? It seems like they went with an approach of having a free alpa/beta release until they had a release ready game, then have spent a decade adding more content to it?

GP's tenses are both correct. It has that reputation today, as a lingering effect of how it didn't pry historically. The industry is hanging on for the time being, probably thanks to network/incumbent effects, inertia, and some limited observance of the old ways, for clients whose countries will allow it.

Did you build this a while ago? 4TB drives are tiny nowadays. If so, the price isn’t really comparable is it?

I am also using Firefox with uBlock origin--I am on Linux.

I now see "Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service".


How does it compare to angle grinder?

I’ve heard hypotheses more stupid than that.

The boards sizes aren't standard, however drilling holes to fix them into a bigger case isn't that hard, same for power supplies. As for the disks, there are backplanes with SATA connectors that can host for example 5x3.5" drives into a 3x5.25" bay (0), so that the NAS can be pretty solid. Unfortunately they aren't cheap but the overall cost would be still lower than buying a new NAS with comparable features and performance.

This looks interesting.

If you want to do declarative 3D and components without Svelte and React though there's always A-Frame or X3D.

I wonder if anyone really wants declarative 3D though. X3D/VRML has been around for 25+ years, and A-Frame for 8 years, and neither have become very popular (and several other formats came and went). Meanwhile three.js and imperative/procedural 3D generally is doing really well. I'm curious as to why that is.




When I see such things I immediately ask myself a question, why is this not an app? There’s no good answer to that question in this case. IDK why they even bothered with the hardware side. It’d seem to me that you could do it later if app gets sufficient traction

Everything is either a compiler or interpreter

True, but white people historically lived in colder climates with (naturally) less sun exposure , which has changed in the last couple centuries.

General formula that majority of big tech MAG7 companies apply when it comes to India is "3 times HC than Bay area". If you see pay data for these companies, that seems to be correct with salaries in Bangalore to be 1/3 of salaries in Bay area.

Exposure to UV increases your risk of getting cancer, statistically.

Not getting sufficient sunlight - not just for vitamin D production but other things - increases the risk of other health impacts, statistically.

For decades people freaked out about the former, without considering the latter.


> The M1 money supply increases from $4 trillion in December 2019 to $20 trillion in June 2022. That’s what’s causing the inflation.

M1 didn't include savings accounts in December 2019 and it does now, that's the majority of M1 diff...

That makes me think your conclusions are based off talking-head points instead of first principles, as when your conclusion hinges on M1 changes, you'd think you'd do a few minutes searching what is M1...


Likely related to the fact that Secure Enclaves have run L4 since their introduction. [1]

I like fantasy, and there's "believable fantasy" and "unbelievable fantasy". If you start saying the world has some unusual property X and then show the consequences of that, that's believable - maybe in the future there will be some technology, or physics, or whatever that show how a world with X could actually come to be, but it's the starting assumption of the work.

Dungeons and Dragons has magic, but it has a rule system, with some form of thermodynamics-y like stuff, internal consistency. Dune starts with some rules and largely doesn't violate them (and if it does, that makes it less kinda good).


This doesn't feel in contrast to what I was saying. You can reason about imperative code, but you have to add things to it to reason about it, most importantly the notion of a memory store. This is because imperative code assumes an underlying CPU + RAM which holds state.

It's not that it's easier, it's that imperative code has implicit state.


To stimulate insightful thinking and discussion, I'd like to present an opinion. I believe that tiered storage cannot save Kafka.

1. First, tiered storage does not fundamentally solve the issue of Kafka's cross-Availability Zone (AZ) traffic costs. This part of the traffic cost can cause a significant expenditure in the cloud. For reference, you can check out this link: https://www.confluent.io/blog/understanding-and-optimizing-y...

2. Essentially, tiered storage only alleviates the disadvantage of Kafka's partition data movement, but it does not eradicate it. Kafka requires the last logsegment of a partition to be on local storage. If this segment is large, a substantial amount of partition data still needs to be replicated during scaling.


If it weren't lacking, what reason would there be for me to talk about it?

In case you don’t know this there are people knowledgeable about a topic who also talk about that topic.


No the problem is not Apple refusing to join messaging standards. The problem is you thinking this is a problem worth fighting when there are many many many other more serious problems to address first.

Apples actions are not keeping people from living the one life they have. They are keeping people from having blue bubbles. Blue bubbles are not a necessity in life. Food, jobs, money, housing, these are all required.

Take that same energy and focus it on something that will let more people live instead of a nonissue. You are defocusing actual issues to solve a petty fight and force control. Stop.


> The strings get coerced into numbers due to being used with the numeric "/" operator (that's normal Perl behavor). Since the strings can't be parsed as numbers, they become "0".

Huh, that's an odd failure of Perl's normal ethic of doing things that appear to make sense in context. A number should be 0 by default in additive contexts and 1 by default in multiplicative contexts.


What I don't understand is why databases don't use tables/views to implement their native permissions systems.

Create a table to hold rows of (db,schema,table,role,read,write) configured by the admin with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, then a view that applies inheritance behavior and can answer whether any user can access any given resource.


I just use a calendar with a code word. Nobody but me needs to know what it means and I don’t have to use a 3rd-party app.

The OpenAPI and Json Schema emitters can produce yaml.

Both of them. Both of them are wrong.

Factoring numbers is difficult. Manipulating digits is easy, or it looks that way, but this is partially an illusion resulting from the number being given to you with the digits already known.

If you have a quantity in mind but you're not sure what its digits are, it can be a lot of work to learn.
