it's an interesting dystopia where humans have no purpose Unfortunately every single one of his books has this problem. It's like all of his novels are written from the perspective of the protagonist's housecat.

Yeah seriously. The third book -- while not nearly as good as either Fire Upon The Deep or Deepness in the Sky -- had even more fascinating insights into the practical mechanics of a group mind with physical bodies. Like the fact that

Personally I found the chapters about the spiders absurdly boring. They're just big sentient spiders; nothing novel like a group mind. Fortunately the other half of the Deepness plot more than made up for it though.

That is a nice paper, but it is a hypothetical proposed by a researcher. It doesn't claim to describe what google is actually doing.

by crotchfire 3y ago
Maybe. But how do they decide when to expand a datacenter or build a new one? The demand is priced in quotons but the costs are in dollars. Somebody somewhere at google must be maintaining a quoton/dollar exchange rate. It's weir

You shouldn't. Github is a gigantic pile of javascript that has to execute on your machine. `Unzip` doesn't execute anything. If you're really paranoid, use an `unzip` tool written in Rust: https://lib.rs/key

Because it isn't really network-agnostic. It only supports IPFS and derivitaves thereof.

It isn't really network-agnostic... in fact it doesn't support the (by far) largest DHT out there, the Mainline DHT that bittorrent uses. This is just a crawler for DHTs that use IPFS's implementation, or at least smell very

i think the readability would be improved if the author tossed in the prefix "crypto-" a few dozen more times.

Not sure about that.

I've always wondered how Google does this internally. For all the cloud companies, "quota" is literally dollars. Bandwidth, memory, cpu, these are things they sell. So they are measured in money. The existing corporate bud

Having to use magically-blessed (what you call "official") binaries is not a viable strategy either.

by crotchfire 3y ago
You faked this. `ldd` never prints just the text `statically linked` for a statically-linked binary. Here's the real output. $ ldd result/bin/typst linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd2c4e5000) libgcc_s.so.1 =&g

That old binary won't link with the shared libraries on your machine 10 years from now. Depends on 280 other crates. Ye gads. "Yeah just use ancient binaries" is not a viable strategy for future-proofing. It's a lot

Come on, be serious. Pandoc can "convert" html to things too, but you wouldn't use it as a web browser.

Software people desperately want to believe that MMUs come at no cost whatsoever. A few of them accept that they have a cost, but insist that it is totally predictable and deterministic. You can't talk them out of these beliefs. I hav

If another person treated me this way I would stop talking to them. But people here seem to be unwilling to consider getting rid of their precious phones. So they will keep getting abused.
