You could do that, but I'm not sure that would be conducive to a great experience. There really is no guarantee that just because you follow person X, that you will be at all happy about what the people person X follows talk about. In

Probably my having a few (or one?) very large servers where most people join. As much as I wished that wasn't the case, most people just want to join an established network and don't care about federation as a concept. A long as a

An instance is not a replacement for groups, and it's most definitely not similar to a Reddit community. What you want is, well, "groups" which is a feature that GNU Social had, and which is eventually going to come to Mastod

You just compared C++ to the slowest popular language out there. It would be a much more fair comparison if you used pretty much any other high-level language. Since you can get within about 2x of C++ speed which still using a high-level la

And podman seems to be better than docker in every respect, and it doesn't require special permissions. I'm not an expert in this area. Are there any things docker does that podman cannot? Also how much code do do they share? (as

Anecdotal evidence like everybody else here, but after having worked from home 100% for several months, we're finally back in the office 50% and it has been great. You don't notice how much the team spirit and culture is affected

That's the key. If you are looking at a horizon of 10 years or more, the stock market has always (with some rare exceptions) gone up. That is to say that if you take a random point in time, and look at the stock market 10 years later,

Kotlin made this explicit by calling the void type Unit, where it is a class that has a single instance with the same name. So when you define a function: fun foo(a: Int): Unit { ... } You can actually assign a value to

Who are “they”? Some instances have open governance, and other don't. There is no central power to dictate how things are done.

Correct me if I misunderstood, but that sounds insecure. I imagine an attack where someone attempts to log in to your Internet bank account, and at the same time calls you and tells you that they are the bank and that they have sent you a n

I was working from home for several months, and after a while it became mentally exhausting. I understand some people have no problems doing this, but even though I'm very much an introvert, being forced to be at home all day with no h

I've had my bank call me, wanting to talk about something important (I think it was loan payment that didn't go through or something of that sort) and the first thing they said was: "This is Bank XYZ and I'm calling to i

Swedish names are under-represented. For example, there are exactly zero hyphenated names starting with "sven".

Not really, other than compatibility. When the previous poster said financial applications, what was probably meant was "mainframe applications". BCD is still popular on z/OS because it's a first-class format there, and

If you found that neat, then give Elite Dangerous a try. Its galaxy map is a bit similar to this, but you can click on any star to zoom into it. It contains a large set of of actual stars, and the rest is filled in using an algorithm that t

That's my point. Of course a system like this is able to answer precisely targeted questions, but that's not how people communicate. I was trying to to assume the role of a person who doesn't know anything about the product,

I tried their Itemsy example, and it's not very good advertising for their service: Hey I'm here to answer your questions about Itemsy Me: What is this? Itemsy is a tool for managing the content that you read online. You can thin

I live in Singapore, and whenever I bring some salty liquorice back from Sweden, my Indian friends are the ones who really enjoy it. I'm guessing that it's because it is a bit similar to Mukhwas. So it's definitely not just E

That reminds me of the early days of me doing sysadmin. We had a BSD system and an Ultrix system. For convenience I temporarily NFS mounted the root of the Ultrix system into /tmp/foo on the BSD machine. After I was done I forgot

To each their own, clearly. I don't think I ever joined a social network because my friends used it (possible exception of FB, but I'm not actually using that one. There could be correlation there). I have met many new friends on

Matrix does require some de facto centralisation for the identity server. But Mastodon really doesn't. I can set up a server right now and start federating immediately without involving any central system.

What's the definition of success? I spend far too much time on the Fediverse (mastodon) and if success is measured by the amount of time I spend there, it's the most successful service I use. Of course, there are few if any politi

I have a Thinkpad and feel the same advantage as you. That said, the sooner conference rooms moves to all USB-C the better. That would deal with the problem of charging your laptop in a conference room as well.

I actually feel bad about pointing out issues with this code since the project is very neat. But, I'm still going to do it. There is a problem where the code uses explicit escape sequences for colour instead of using terminfo. This is

The irony is that the U-2 is still in service while the SR-71 is decommissioned. This doesn't take away from your point of course, I just thought it was interesting.

The US seems to be incredibly polarised. On one hand you have people claiming that COVID is a hoax and refuse to wear masks or anything like that. On the other hand you see people saying they haven't left their house in 6 months and if

I think you may be confusing two different concepts here, which is understandable given the fact that this happened some 23 years ago. The first versions of Java only had green threads. That was a cooperative threading model where only a si
