Been going a while, working to shift into a verification layer on existing static scanners rather than a standalone product: https://rsolv.dev takes a highly opinionated TDD approach to _proving_ (or disproving!) scanner-indicat

Yes to the contest having expired; I was surprised to see this posted now instead of a month back. There's still a decent and growing community around all this on the Protocolized discord ( https://protocolized.io/commun

Venkat's an advisor to Ethereum in some capacity. The Protocolized Reader has a couple essays that are blockchain-adjacent, but from the more utopian angle of using them to build a better world rather than just a vehicle for currency s

Github Actions are rapidly becoming an argument against dogfooding into your critical path.

Dakhla is actually pretty tourist-friendly, and spending time there will quickly do away with the notion that nobody lives in Western Sahara. It's well-known for kiteboarding and windsurfing, since it's got pretty consistent wind

An approximate, if imperfect, predictor of PPPoE usage is "did this organization previously deliver packets over twisted pair, especially DSL?". Xfinity/Comcast historically (and currently) delivered packets over coaxial cabl

Kagi has so completely replaced other search engines for me that their appearance in other people’s browsers is disconcerting.

You have more flexibility in time than most. Dive in! Build stuff and see if it lands. You don’t have to finish your degree, though doing so is a wise default if nothing life-changing is landing. If you’re early to mid-senior year and the m

SomaFM is an utter institution. It predates SF being overrun with techbro culture--the hackers were mostly in the valley, the city was an even slice of misfits and outcasts (and hackers among the mix, not dominating it), and the bros were m

To a first approximation this creates and enforces a permanent unvoiced underclass. Without any political representation, said underclass's differentiation from actual slavery would be pretty small.

Gates is actually quite problematic (Epstein is a lot of the problem). If you need an exception to prove the rule, Buffett is a little easier of a fit.

Presumably because they don't believe that saying so publicly will result in unacceptable consequences.

Effort is, however, an okay proxy for giving a shit. You’re right that some folks can share more value in fifteen seconds than others might in fifteen hours (setting aside that the first set of folks might have got to that point by way of f

Yeah, the endorsement logos at the bottom are majority bad actors with regards to openness in code. Many are bad actors with regards to openness in _society_.

It’s on Plex. It’s all on Plex. (Or Jellyfin, if you prefer.) Piracy in the 90s and early aughts mostly didn’t solve for price so much as for distribution and availability.

I absolutely could, by removing everything past the first 3-5 sentences in the article. But that probably wouldn’t satisfy the site owner’s desired metrics and SEO targeting.

[Radicle]( https://radicle.dev/ ) gets a wee bit closer. It’s selfhostable and federated. You’ll have a hard time finding something with the same social gravity well as GitHub; it remains to be seen whether that’s a separable

The irony of that linked page dragging a reposted mid tweet into multiple scrollable pages of “content” and in doing so reading exactly like a celeb news article

We’re all tasteless and unrefined morons for something. You enjoy art and have developed a sense of taste, and that’s valuable and valid, and I would assume brings a lot of depth and meaning to your life. Could you differentiate mass-market

In context it seems your recommendation is to instead send those data to models within Chinese nation-network space. I’m not here to defend US frontier model companies; your accusation is probably accurate. But I doubt sending data to China

Agree on this, specifically that it's breaking _expectations_. Which, as it turns out, you can do without pissing people off by acknowledging it and resetting expectations. Three sentences at the start: "The following text is gene

I've settled on writing these bespoke per project/client, typically as a harness plugin in its own repo. Not infrequently that maps 1:1 with a single target repo. There's something to be said for having the tools and memories

We _are_ doing something about this. We’re locating concentrated millions of years of trapped fossil energy and moving it into our atmosphere as fast as we possibly can. To a first approximation, that is the world economy. Or did you mean t

Setting aside that this is subjective, I think it’s safe to say that from the POV of most of this site’s target audiences, that “start” happened a long time ago. PG’s essay on submarine articles didn’t come out of nowhere, and he hasn’t bee
