One thing that gets me excited about reproducible build systems in general, which has less to do with trust and verifiability, is cacheability/content addressable storage of build artifacts.

Tinc could still make sense as a control plane for the WireGuard VPN though. There have been talks about WireGuard as a backend for tinc [0], hope that sees some progress. [0] http://www.tinc-vpn.org/pipermail/tinc&#x2F

Idk, it's fuzzy, obviously, and a moving goalpost, but in the end it comes down to this: do I buy/rent a bigger server? Or do I put more engineers to the task of replacing the naive algorithm. The latter is Big Data and usually th

If it _needs_ to be in RAM, then either you got a big enough machine (then by definition it's not Big Data) or it's impossible. If you manage to come by with RAM using smart algorithms, although the full dataset would never fit in

An idiot, in the original sense of the word, is someone who focuses on themselves, showing no interest in the common cause/politics. It's a bit heavy, but reapplied here it could mean someone who focuses completely on visual quali

Well, after the Google Cloud Console redesign of the Datastore UI, visual quality is great, but "Open in new Tab" is broken, the result tables abbreviate dates at the Month field, and in entity edits a timestamp can only be given

I think it's the other way round. Anonymity (or rather: the right to present different personas to different audiences and to give up a burned persona when you see fit) makes the internet a bearable place. It also allows people to make

I generally agree, but I think it's important to mention that factoring in externalities yields some surprising results on the local/shipped goods dimension. For example, in California, Chilean wines perform slightly better than l

Well, in the long term externalities wouldn't yield much money, and instead move allocation of capital to methods of production with minimal external costs.

That priced-in externalities are mostly missing from the current economic system, (and that bankruptcies of important organizations are bailed instead of fully played out), are two things that when fixed would make our markets so much more

Yeah, this is unforgivable, and for me makes the whole speed argument void. Edit: to be fair, they handle a couple of other things, which many similar libraries ignore. I particulary like the support for full 64bit integers. And at least th

This is a dangerous assumption to make, and one that bit us a while ago when using trigger.io for an app. We had a lot of user supplied data in the strings of our API responses, some of it copied from Word documents and were ridden with U+2

I get your sentiment, but that is not how any of the GDPR or Twitter works. Apart from the obvious problems (e.g. applicability of the GDPR), see GDPR Art. 9, 2 (e). A Twitter feed is not the entrance of a gay bar.

Yes, or, if you want to go even further, introduce a special bankruptcy after X years, just for tuition debts. Which is effectively the idea of the IBR (income-based repayment) scheme, as I understand it (I'm not US-American).

It's not necessarily about ranking sites which actually contain the key, or which google already decided should be relevant to the search (where page rank seems to be the most relevant factor, thanks for your interesting data point!).
