GOP is a party captured by the very wealthy. It’s minority rule because of certain elites’ trillion dollar plans to control all three branches of government and the courts have come to fruition after decades in the works. After Nixon a lot

I read that a peasant in the middle ages typically worked less and had much more leisure than a worker in the 21st century.

Tangent but I've read stories about CSF leaking out from the nose for certain people who experienced very precise trauma/infection/injury, One should always be aware of the possibility that clear fluid leaking from the nose m

After all the resistance to Rust in the Linux Kernel, it's finally official. Kudos to the Linux Rust team!

There is practically no need to have a thread-safe ULID generator that would be shared across threads/processes/hosts - a non-scenario that I cannot envision occurring in practice.

by N_Lens 11mo ago
Yes it does feel a bit grift adjacent.

by N_Lens 11mo ago
That depends on if the specific implementation of the generator instance is thread safe. Highly implausible to use the same generator instance between different threads/processes/hosts because there's no benefit at all and on

Quite a decisive move by the Australian government. I don't know if it's a move in the right direction or not but the research clearly shows that around the time social media became mainstream, teens' and preteens' menta

Some cool optimisations here: MAP elites, island models to prevent premature convergence & fast rejection of bad candidates. What's particularly interesting is the meta level insight: The system discovered scipy.optimize.SLSQP for

Interesting article noting how ULIDs solve database index fragmentation caused when using UUIDv4. However, for extremely high-volume writes, ULIDs create "hot spots" at the current timestamp index location, potentially causing con

by N_Lens 11mo ago
ULID's initial segment is timestamp generated, with a random suffix at the end. This kind of collision you're concerned about is not an issue at all, across multi-threads, processes or hosts.

What's interesting here is that you can now debug WebAssembly applications with full C++ source-level debugging directly in Chrome, complete with breakpoints, variable inspection, and step-through debugging, just like a native desktop

by N_Lens 11mo ago
I think you are disconnected from the pain of debugging in the past. The fact that it all works so seamlessly together now is a bit fascinating and astounding.

Forgive me for underestimating but I'd never heard of 'Block' before, and the title "Block, Anthropic, and OpenAI Launch the Agentic AI Foundation" reads a bit funny to me. Plus the bitcoin blurb on their site is al

Sure is a slippery slope - 'do no evil' to assisting military operations. I'm sure Google today would create AI for autonomous killbots, if the contract were lucrative enough.

Working past a 100 is a dream of mine (The barista in the article is 101). I don't think too many people are fond of images of old age in the Western popular zeitgeist - care homes, infirmity, increasing disability. I hope we can culti

Author used CodeQL to rediscover a CVE in JSC that was exploited by Pwn2Own in 2018. Very interesting. I guess now with increasing automation we'll see more CVE discovery through such tools.

I think the Author diverges from the main point - that web standards and browsers' interpretation rules are loosely held (tolerance), towards indirectly attacking the current US administration which is allegedly trending towards intole
