My point wasn’t so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.

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?

It’s not harmless. It’s linked to mental illness and increased stress. People need to stop spreading this myth.

EDIT: I know that people are down voting because weed is incredibly popular and rarely does harm, but that doesn’t mean you should propagate the myth that it’s harmless. Your personal experience should not speak for everyone.

Weed can easily cause intense anxiety and paranoia if the user takes more than they can handle. This is just as true for someone who is trying it for the first time as it is for someone with a long history of use.

If you have ever had panic attacks or heart palpitations, the combined increase in heart rate and anxiety may trigger a panic attack. It’s also habit-forming enough that people who’ve had panic attacks will keep using it despite knowing they are risking a really stressful experience.

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

I’m not in the market, but I’ve actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that’s focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.

DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).

Fair, but it’s also limited to the very top of the bell curve at any point in time.

The fastest marathon time for men is 2 hours 1 minute and for women it is 2 hours 14 minutes.

It’s an unacceptable leap in logic to infer (from that statement) anything about populations of men and women. You’ve picked only a single sample from each population and chosen that highly biased representative.

Stop using Brave, people.

Rate-limiting could also be applied at the federation level, but I’m less sure of what the implementation would look like. Requiring filters on a per-account basis might be resource intensive.

Why resort to an expensive decentralized mechanism when we already have a client-server model? We can just implement rate-limiting on the server.

Are sockets not files?

Objects may have a single trailing comma.

I just came.

Large ISPs still don’t support it. It’s a fucking travesty.

I think there’s a pretty big overlap of gamers and programmers who use Windows or WSL because they don’t want to have to dual boot.

It’s definitely faster. I have seen measurements from many people showing that Windows is slower compiling Bevy on the same hardware.

Yea I agree. Good UX is a lot of work, and I think FOSS projects rarely prioritize it. Even good documentation is hard to come by. When you write software for your own use case, it’s easy to cut UX corners, because you don’t need your hand held.

And good UX for a programmer might be completely different from good UX for someone that only knows how to use GUIs. E.g. NixOS has amazing UX for programmers, but the code-illiterate would be completely lost.

I believe that the solution is “progressive disclosure”, and it requires a lot of effort. You basically need every interface to have both the “handholding GUI” and the underlying “poweruser config,” and there needs to be a seamless transition between the two.

I actually think we could have an amazing Linux distro for both “normies” and powerusers if this type of UX were the primary focus of developers.

The only correct answer is to be consistent with the code base you’re working in or the language’s conventions. If neither of these conventions exist, then someone has already failed you.

It seems irrelevant whether this person is using encrypted channels if they failed to maintain anonymity. If they distributed material and leaked any identifying info (e.g. IP address), then it would be trivial for investigators or CIs to track them down.
