I like what Material for Mkdocs did as well. They ship features to sponsors first and release for free when a certain founding goal is met: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/insiders/ Roughly 10xed their

I looked at Bazel ~5 years ago for a C++, Scala, JS, Python codebase and it looked like the perfect solution, but there seemed to be a lot of breaking changes in Bazel at the time so I passed in the end. Then I started a project this year t

Airbnb processes are Kafkaesque and a malicious host can really screw you over due to their superior knowledge of the system. I stopped using them after a particularly bad experience this summer. The property is still up btw with glowing re

They should just acquihire the Big Mountain Studio guy. It’s crazy that you have to pay $300 for proper docs.

Wondering how well it integrates with IDEs. Anyone tried it with Intelllij?

This big time. Rust has comparable ergonomics to high level languages once you stop trying to optimize everything and start throwing around clones liberally. And the nice thing is that if you do need to optimize something later you can trus

How about making operations constant time in application code by picking an upper bound which is acceptable for the application, but that is certainly longer than the actual CPU computation and then waiting until the upper bound to return t

Which ARM processors could be affected? Can't find an overview of ARM processors that implement frequency scaling.

Even simpler to use `futures::executor::block_on`. No need to create a runtime, you can just call the function. https://docs.rs/futures/latest/futures/executor/fn.block_on....

They started the incredibly expensive and wasteful Paks II nuclear plant extension program financed by Russian loans to diversify the EU faucet. (Although that deals seems to be collapsing now with the war).

It is corruption. The entire Hungarian state has been captured by Orban's mafia. ("Mafia" is not an exaggeration. Hungarian state capture works exactly like the Russian with natural resources replaced by EU money.)

I challenge you to build a Merkle tree using a digital signature scheme in place of a cryptographic hash function where a Merkle tree constructed by Alice can be used by Bob without revealing Alice’s secret key.

by abiro 5y ago
Signing and hashing are specific cryptographic operations with well defined properties. You can’t use them interchangeably if you want to be taken seriously.

Assuming you mean a Merkle tree (a Markov chain is a statistical concept). A Merkle tree provides an efficient way to compute hashes (not signatures) of data. It provides neither properties that you claim for Markov chains.

If you could build PKI in a decentralized, privacy preserving manner for all internet users that’d be huge. So far no-one succeeded.

If you’re running Postgres you have this problem and you gave it a centralized solution.

Then you're talking about a different problem.

The interesting part is state transitions (mutations). How would your Apache server coordinate mutations to your cat database with other servers when you need to enforce invariants like the maximum number of kittens a cat can have per year?

I'd be curious to hear about any solutions to enforcing invariants on state transitions in a decentralized manner pre 2008.

by abiro 5y ago
For those genuinely curious about Web3: The new thing is that we can now enforce invariants on state transitions in a decentralized manner for a limited set of applications (mostly financial). With all the capital inflow thanks to the vario

I don’t know about Lastpass, but the 1password CLI app is a separate install for sophisticated users and if I’m not mistaken, logins are scoped to the current shell session.
