My blog's ActivityPub system is both pushing content out (similar to, but not quite the same as, RSS) and accepts responses as comments (nothing like RSS). (My blog's currently down due to too much unrelated tinkering).

FreeNet would disagree. Plus, from ActivityPub / Fediverse land there's a handful of folks looking at doing both by clever use of OCAP, encryption, and content addressing routing to have both privacy and an open network (sneakerne

I would like to think my response makes relentless fun of your position (and a mockery of your delivery) as well as chide the position of those that will inevitably strawman it. Neither such positions addresses the real crumbling core which

This is content-addessing, or a content-addressable network. There's a lot of work being done in this space.

As usual, the title's description is wrong, and the real news is buried and overlooked in the story: "People assume that the numbers are manipulated and dislike the elitism of resorting to quantitative evidence." If people do

Even better, demand your money back. With interest. Mention specific numbers so it's easy for them to add up between you and me. They'll point to some time limited policy. So it won't matter, you won't actually get your

This reminds me of a very similar case a decade ago I never figured out. Anyone remember Coupon Guy from 4chan in the 2009/2010 timeframe? You could make your own "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" or variant (for both N, "buy 1 get 10&

That's a very weak argument since you're already opting out of every other kind of compiler check by using `interface{}` as an element type to begin with. Yet another reason to just use `interface{}`: if the caller already has a v

Yes, but now you no longer need to change the function declaration and all callsites (major version change) to support new types (if they're slices or not), just need to implement more reflection or typecasting cases within the functio
