There are already stuff like this that has been deployed - John Todd’s Eco-Machines: https://youtu.be/SeQotnmhO5I These projects have not made it to the media, but they are there. We’re talking about EPA-funded works, and o

Unless there is something special about carbon chains, ingesting them is probably like ingesting activated carbon. Ingested activated carbon is part of a treatment for poison. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_c

There is a researcher named John Todd whose work has been able to break down DDT in a matter of weeks. In this video, he gives a talk about some various projects. In the first one, he uses these methods to clean up a site contaminated with

That’s weird. I’ve been hearing for years, nationalist and optimistic sentiment in China being higher among youths than in the US.

If there is one thing I learned, it is that when it comes to life partners and family where the stakes are conmingled, for the really important stuff, it is better to be open and direct. So I think one of the hidden dimensions here are — ar

Also, in certain groups, people will deliberately troll each other in order suss out how they’d act under pressure… and whether they can be trusted to perform as part of a team under pressure.

It may have more to do with deeper, more static personal relationships within a community in rural settings. In urban settings, folks generally don’t know their neighbors, can hide in numbers, have to be more assertive with strangers and ac

They sure are, which brings back to the point: how much did this implementation of Mastadon adequately addressed these risks with the reduced code count?

An organization trying to maintain an ISO certification will have drastically different policies and controls than a small shop, or even a hobbyist group. Everyone (theoretically) would be complying to statues in its broadest sense, but jur

How much of Twitter’s code base is dedicated to things like security, compliance, and moderation? Granted, a decentralized platform would eliminate some of those, just by being decentralized

Hopefully, Veilid can help solve the “on its own little island” effect of a decentralized platform.

I'm convinced that until Javascript makes it easy to do the right thing by default (instead of its current state of doing many wrong things by default) the Javascript ecosystem will continue to have a lot of low-quality library code in

I think it’s a great habit and an effective method for consolidating what one learns … at least until someone cheats themselves using GPT to write up a TIL essay.

I forgot who built it, but it isn’t a strict replacement. One of the rationale for doing so was identifying daemonsets as an anti-pattern.

There are app developers like that. There is a class of problems where you need to be able to do both application development and system work to be able to do well. What a lot of people miss about larger k8s deployment is that you can creat

Someone is building a systemd based kublet replacement. Why? Because Kubernetes has some great ideas on self-healing and resiliency. But if you are small, and can work with a single instance for availability, then probably should stick with

The pod is the basic abstraction. The underlying container technology can be swapped out. People have made Kubernetes schedulers for Microsoft technologies and WASM runtimes as well. If you wanted to use microvms, you can. Most people stick

It isn’t deliberately complicated, and once you know why it is designed the way it is, it becomes very capable. The biggest thing to understand about Kubernetes is that you cannot understand it as a normal piece of software. You don’t dire

There is a reason stuff like Partisan were conceived - https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.02652 If you do a lot of cross node talk with say, the Phoenix channels, then lowering the total number of nodes helps (n*(n-1) for a fu

I don’t wish it to be super popular. I heard the argument before that JS (and Nodejs) is popular (top 3), so you should go into it. I’m now in a nodejs shop. Turns out, the way Erlang and Elixir is designed serves as a filtering function fo

If anything, scaling Elixir apps favors vertical scaling. Horizontal scaling starts hitting the limits of dist erlang (since, unless you restrict the topolog, every node connects with every other node). It makes for an interesting time when

And you can still use composable queries if you still want to (equivalent to Rail’s named scopes).

And even if you need to break things out, you can build different variants of distributions that can all still work together.

Having done both Rails and Elixir, Elixir is vastly easier to scale. Not just because it can use up all the available cores, but also because a REPL in a production environment makes troubleshooting and identifying bottlenecks easier. When

Sure. But there were improvements to the ecosystem. Telemetry is a great example, though they ended up porting it to Erlang so that both Erlang and Elixir projects can use it.

Not to mention that the macros should be invoking regular functions, making it easy to skip macros if you so choose. When I pivoted from Ruby to Elixir, I was expecting to do a lot more metaprogramming, but I found that regular functions wi

Huh, interesting. I bet for keyboard macros, it would work better by invoking a call to something that is already running to reduce startup time. Kinda like the emacs server. BEAM should still be able to compile new code on the fly, for one

Keep in mind, the Chinese were using bombs, granades, and rockets in warfare. Cannons were slowly being incorporated during the Ming. It’s just that, the Chinese also had standardized crossbows capable of punching through armor, and allowed

Ironic because it’s a Japanese name, not English. According to the readme, “jj” was chosen because it was easy to type, and a name was found to fit that.

Oh, I think something will regrow there even if humans die off. It's more likely that the planet will continue to live, and some other intelligent lifeform arises as a successor. This isn't really about saving the planet. Over a l
