Yep, I was hoping to learn how to do this. Seems like a much better long term lesson.

Portland's problem is that they aren't charging enough (or at all) for curb parking.

The quality doesn't matter if consumers aren't willing to step into the showroom. YoY sales are cratering, down 50% (!!!) in Europe. That's catastrophic for a "quality product".

Sean Carroll’s Biggest Ideas in the Universe YouTube series is fantastic. Just enough math to be interesting but nothing requiring a math degree. https://youtu.be/HI09kat_GeI

It sounds like you don’t know anything about Redox.

By the time Rust is welcome in the Linux kernel, projects like Redox will be full fledged competitors. I'd bet Hector would be welcomed there. https://www.redox-os.org

That’s amazing. Really nails his stilted prose.

OpenBSD has had “pledge” for quite a while. I think it’s a good idea, I wish it was supported by Linux because, as you note, a few basic patterns could help immensely. https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2

Or it could be argued that more people want to take the bus but it’s too slow to be practical due to car gridlock.

This article is dumb and no one should take it seriously. The key is space efficiency: using a car takes the most physical space, versus walking or biking. Investing in car infrastructure gives the least benefit. Paris and Amsterdam prove t

That’s what I mean, reduce us and the entire ship can be reduced too. We can’t go interplanetary with humans as evolved today. Solar sails can only push a very small payload.

You’re missing the fact that most of the weight of a spaceship is to support that 70kg and accelerate the whole thing. Watch this discussion about getting to Alpha Centauri. https://youtu.be/uZN5xjoS6TU?si=05xuUdWsWADrZY-i

I think realistically we have to reduce our body mass by 99% if we want to go interplanetary, much less interstellar. It's extremely expensive to drag around 70kg of meat and minimizing weight is key to making solar sails work.

That's how you monetize attention, digital consumption. If you aren't paying for it, you are the product being sold.

That would push everyone to valkey. They want to add proprietary features supported only by their server and client. That's the extend part of "embrace, extend, extinguish". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

EVs are breaking this funding model. I'd suggest curbside parking should be charged everywhere. Free omnipresent parking is what has hollowed out American cities. Car storage is an awful use of public space.

Right, it's still useful as shared data for multiple processes on the same machine. A SQL database mostly forces your data into one structure: the table. Redis instead provides commands which operate directly on those different data st

Redis provides low-level persistent data structures which can be used to implement business logic distributed safely across a number of machines. That’s a LOT harder than in-memory in-process. My Sidekiq background job system runs entirely

Anyone know how usable Redox is? Can it serve static files with Apache, for example? Does it have a workable POSIX userspace?
