I agree on the wording difference (method vs message), but the differences still seem to be minor. When it comes to explorability/reflection, Python also has callable(). Both languages are lazy & duck typed. And Pythons for loops e

So this another tale of not rolling your own crypto. The blog post does a great job in not to sound arrogant and state a clear way out: > Using HMAC or a modern hash/MAC function is the proper fix. For systems like BunnyCDN, adding

The website also has a fresh unconventional UX. It runs on LaMDWiki which seems to be a self-developed Wiki installation that looks a bit like microblogging. Described at https://www.wellobserve.com/index.php?post=202111070

Typical large scale high performance computing clusters are at a size of 10k nodes (for instance Jupiter and SuperMUC in Germany) [1]. These centers are quite remarkably big buildings. I wonder how much 1M node single k8s clusters there are

AI is a big equalizer. People like it because it brings us, as humans, in sync. That's a long standing narrative of the Internet in general. And yet subcultures exist in the Internet, with their own codes (both in cultural and programm

This is XMMS, a X11 Clone of winamp. We all had it on our desktop these days. And hell yeah, our Linux desktop could look anything we wanted. What a time! I also startet to used Gentoo around that time.

This won't scale. Dedicated KVM needs you as an admin walking to the server, reswitching cables, walking back to the KVM console. Instead, with Out of band managament hw/sw, you spawn a dedicated ethernet and can access it from an

Git is an example how a technically inferior tool can still dominate. No offense, Linus: Git is great. But other DVCS exist, such as Mercurial SCM. Jujutsu has recently been the subject of much discussion. Given that 20 years ago, we worked

Oh man, me too. SCII = StarCraft 2, and "maps" was such a typical term in StarCraft. I loved it. Had a great time with it, 20 years ago.

Good old Java is also stable and yet popular. It is not particular "trendy", thought. My feeling is that languages which "live in"/"create" ecosystems such as JVM, BEAM or even LLVM have a better probabili

This is exactly also my story. Was a long term XFCE user (this was long before lxde became popular) because Gnome/KDE felt too heavy for my old computers. These days, KDE still has the silly loader window (no other DM has it) but oh bo

As long as people write software (no pun intended), software will follow trends. For instance, in many scientific ecosystems, Matlab was successfully replaced by Scipy. Which happens to get replaced by Julia. Things don't neccessarily

Every mental model of computing has its limits. Unix pipeline networks can have degree>1 (for instance tee(1) fans out, cat(1) fans in). People use json or powershell-kind-of-scuccessors for typing. Many RPC implementations are also not

Meet Germany! Lots of similarities. I think Japan is still more affine to modern tech compared to Germany.

Reminds me of https://www.brow.sh/ which is not AI related at all but just a very powerful terminal browser which in fact supports JS, even videos.

This got popular in JS toolkits a few years ago, at least. For instance, Svelte(kit) also has a static output variant.

As a scientist, I always find it interesting how audiophiles prefer "real" (non ideal) electronics over digital simulations. It is not only the transmission functions of tubes, which can perfectly be simulated at sufficient cutoff

Something which bothers me about coroutines is the pure boilerplate -- I don't even mean the ridiculous verbose coroutine definitions in C++20 but just the spread of "await" and "async" keywords all over the code, f

This looks simple not only because the article is written well but also because Go is the go-to-language for complex networking situations. Doing things in parallel, even pipelining? This would make quite some spaghetti algorithm in C/

As a decade long windows and linux desktop user, the mac OS X dock was one thing I was really envy. There are tons of bad copies of it for various linux desktops (KDE, Gnome, XFCE, you name it), they all don't get it. The software qual

I am sceptical and think this sounds a lot like bullshit. Quantum entanglement as an abstract theory how the brain works was already discussed in the 1980s. This was always a non experimentally validable theory and therefore not really acce

Purpose, my guess: Fun, joy of understanding, tinkering, learning and education. Such projects can grow and eventually somebody learning on this builds the next Language or Qemu.

I perceived having "old" (co-)founders as a subtle but immanent disadvantage in the prototypical deep tech startup scene. When you talk to VC youngsters who barely started a university studies this is awkward at best and not succe

I watch this project since a few years and they make good progress. To whoever is interested in open source Computer Algebra Systems, there are of course plenty of more mature solutions. Classical ones such as GNU Octave or Maxima but also

Git repositories are hash trees. The distributed nature of git is a bit different but it shares similiarities. Definitly has the crypto checkmarks ticked.

Isn't sending both the blurred and non-blurred picture over the network the way we did it since two decades in web dev? With (many!) high resolution pictures this is definetly less performant then a local computation, given that real n
