I think Project Loom would fit. It's a remarkably sane approach: https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpressler/loom/Loom-Proposal.ht...

I'm not sure how South Australia works, but I think in general you pay for the cost of electricity generated (here going to zero) AND for the infrastructure required to get it to your house. In part that's why rooftop solar is haz

I don't think this article mentions it, but you should probably rotate your DKIM keys on a periodic schedule. Consequences for not doing so range from possible key compromise to losing the United States Presidency.[1] [1] https:/

That doesn't seem true? Short-term memory is encoded in transient electrical patterns, but long term memory definitely is not. You definitely don't lose your personhood if you suffer an interruption to short term memory, or else e

Yea, I think you basically do need one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_statistic_tree They're somewhat obscure though.

As fanf2 said, MSNs != UIDs. Also, I didn't mean to imply that MSNs are an insurmountable limitation for performance, they just complicate things a lot. I'm not familiar with Dovecot's code or very good at reading C, but I th

IMAP was an okay protocol for its time, but in my experience it's basically mindbogglingly bad by current standards. The root of the reason why is the whole concept of "message sequence numbers", which as far as I know are ex

Be careful trying to forecast that far into the future. Historically, most people have ended up very wrong.

I think the real limiter is people willing and stable enough to murder indiscriminately at scale in novel ways. Mowing down crowds of people with a truck is bizarrely recent, and the peak of mass murder is still one guy sniping at a concert

I think implicit in PG&E's decision to neglect maintenance was that they weren't allowed to raise rates and it wouldn't actually be very economical to do maintenance to reduce wildfire risks, so shareholders preferred pro

The real answer is actually the same in both cases: the bits (atoms) get used for something else. Although bones can linger for quite a while, not sure if there's a file parallel for that.

That's a bit of an open question right now, unfortunately. Using S3 to store Lucene indexes is a roll-your-own thing since last I checked, and the implementation I wrote currently deals with smaller indexes where files can be pulled to

Seems like it'd be more elegant (and probably cost effective) if you stored the Lucene indexes inside the buckets themselves.

Working on an email hosting company. Stack is Kotlin, Postgres, Docker, AWS. It's likely been helpful because it's a stack I'm good with, and it has very mature tooling and libraries (via JVM). The alternative was basically C

Bit of a mixed bag here. The editor updates are nice, but they break all of the superior community created tooling. And a custom map I made a decade or so ago now seems to crash regularly, along with having a few minor but important pieces

The point of the type system is that you can express your intent through an invariant or property at one place (i.e. the "head" function can specify that it should never be used on an empty list) and propagate that outwards so tha

From working on Purelymail (which does offer mail for ~$1 a month), I would say that it's feasible to run such a service and be profitable, but that the $5/month services have a lot more leeway in marketing, hires, opportunity for

I want this a lot too, but the way we've built our software stacks has overwhelming path dependence on plaintext. There's a lot of tooling that's a bit broken, like git diffs, because the diffing algorithm can't actually

For context, that'd be about 1.25 years of current world GDP [1]. If we maintain a 3.6% growth rate for 100 years, the economy will be 34 times larger, so it'd take two weeks of the world's total economic output to capture al

Really, that Mozilla would let a reported RCE vulnerability simmer for two months until it bit someone would seem to reflect very poorly on their priorities and competence. Can anyone postmortem why it took so long now that it's fixed?

Yea, that's kind of what I meant to say, although I wasn't thinking about AMP. Can Google really not use the vast amounts of data it ingests to deduce which sites have bad user experiences and are slow, though? Shouldn't that

This seems a bit like a complication that browsers shouldn't be handling? Like really, do we need this feature baked into the web forever, just to make it easier for websites to audit their performance? A cynical part of me notes that

Is the quality of the dependencies you use really so bad that it'd take you more time to fix them than to write your own code and then fix that? Like I can see where I'd make that tradeoff, but it'd have to be a small functio
