If a large population of infected people never show symptoms, you'd see a lot more untraceable cases in Singapore, who are doing tracing very well. But if you look at their reports there are practically no untraceable cases. That sugge

The Singapore ministry of health site on the topic is really the model of what governments should do in these situations. https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19 They share details on all cases, along with the result of the investi

I'd phrase that more specific by saying "by selling what is too high". If something is much higher than when you bought it, but the reasons you had for buying it in the first place are still valid, then you should keep it.

I'm not sure. I wasn't working as a kernel developer. I did have to debug stuff though to find bugs or explain certain behaviours. I guess one reason it wasn't used much is because it was a hassle to set up, and I think it go

That reminds me about that one day in at Sun back in the late 90's when I compiled Solaris in debug mode and set up KGDB. I was running a full Solaris kernel while anothe rmachine was running GDB and DDD. I was able to visualise all th

A federated alternative to Reddit would be nice. Perhaps something that integrates with the Fediverse. Surely someone must ha e built something like this already?

Sure, but when I said "in a relevant way" I was talking about differences that are relevant in the context of the conversation. There was nothing wrong in your description of the differences between the Fediverse and email, but no

The original question to which I replied were not talking about the case where the server goes offline. If Facebook were to go offline, you'll have the same problem, only worse. As for your final remark, I really can't see a good

There is an account migration feature. If you create a new account on a different instance, you can migrate the old account to the new one. This basically sends messages to your followers instructing them to follow your new account instead.

Ok, I see what you mean. I've been on the Fediverse for a bit over a year (I think, I could be more?) and I've seen some drama around this. That said, the number of instances that engage in excessive blocking seems to be rather li

The Fediverse is federated on exactly the same layer as email. You have a username of the form user@domain,this is the same in both Mastodon and email. You can send messages to anyone regardless of the instance they're on. This is also

by lokedhs 7y ago
I agree that's a problem. But I don't think we can blame the technology for that. After all, an email server admin can do the same thing, but they rarely do. This is a cultural thing, and instances that engage in excessive blockin

by lokedhs 7y ago
I don't think I understand what you mean by Mastodon being people's living rooms. I mean, a user's identity is @username@domain, and I can follow local or remote users equally easy, and most of the time I don't even noti

And that's all we've heard about it. I think ActvityPub definitely does not match their requirements, and also, I doubt any federation system does. I'm saying this because their primary requirement is clearly to have strict c

Or Common Lisp, where you not only have arbitrary precision by default. You also have rationals.

There is no need to get rid of checked exceptions to fix that. You need generics for exceptions. If the inner function can throw some exception, then it should be possible to declare the stream method that it will throw the same exception.

NFS has supported transport encryption since as long as I can recall. It's enabled by the sec=krb5p mount option.

Please tell me what you'll end up with if you encode and then decode the number 1E12 using two different JSON implementations. Check the spec, and then tell me if it's simple.

by lokedhs 7y ago
My favourite example of this is JSON's treatment of numbers. There it literally no way to serialise a number without putting it in a string. I'm just waiting for the first security vulnerability caused by a JSON decoder not deseri

How will rehashing work for commits that are signed? Do all the commits need to be re-signed?

I think being the recommended language for Android development makes it pretty popular.

I'm pretty sure it was in Java 1.2. That's when Swing was implemented, and I don't recall ever having used Swing without inner classes.

Is it actually higher than Singapore's at least 100% import tax? Granted, Singapore charges that tax for both petrol and electric cars. https://www.dollarsandsense.sg/no-nonsense-explanation-on-wh...

Why does the plaintiff receive the statutory damages? This is similar to a fine in that they are support to force the violator into complying, not to give a payout much larger than the financial loss of the victim. The obvious solution here
685.
by lokedhs 7y ago
It's not even malicious compliance. It's non-compliance since it should be as easy to deny as it is to accept. Hopefully this behaviour will change once the ongoing cases make their way through the court system.

It may be that I'm not familiar with US English expressions, but it's not clear to me if "Uh huh" means yes or no. Based on context my guess is "yes", but I honestly don't know. If I try to pronounce it to

This is supposedly not allowed under the GDPR, but we're going to have to wait a while before this is actually tried in court.

I've used Common Lisp for this purpose. You get instant results without even having to reload. You can simply compile a single function while the code is running. I did a talk about this a few years back: https://www.youtube

That's 800 MB, not kB. Even the smallest process in your example is 14 MB.
