I love shit like this. But."A tool to create distributed wikis" is a noble quest but you are setting out alone like this. Just one dude's opinion, but you can't go it alone like this, IMO. It's all about protocols.

There's just so many small & interesting possibilities. We should embrace & be excited for good uses. But negativity amplifies & builds, is a common thread, where-as possibility is dispersed & uncentral. Having positive

I think the FAIR folks did a good job capturing what, to me, is the most core essence of this all: exposing the data at the heart. It's important that we also reveal & spread light on the computing, on opening the source. But the d

But most nations seem to be trying to make it so wherever on the internet their citizens travel, their laws apply. Even though in many cases there's literally no servers, no offices, no business in a country. Or worse, you have India,

You should have a user-agent that respects your preference & lets you do that! These are good options that should be easy to make happen! You should be able to blanketly turn off these capabilities. And we should have protocols so you c

The post says BSD tried to do what I said. And it failed to actually do it right, as basically a bug. And needed to be updated to do what I said. Which took a couple decades to find out & make happen but was a bit of an issue. Still n

I really wish this sort of hackerly mojo was available in the browser too. Being able to hot reload & instrument modules is power we should have. Will some people greatly mess it up & create hard to maintain software? Oh yes. But le

ESM was a part of es2015. It's been 8 years that we've had to tangle with both cjs & esm. It's been absolutely awful for everyone. This crusade is nowhere near zealous nor righteous enough against the infidels & n

In any production machine, I would strive very much to avoid this circumstance, yes. Better tune your system. Either allow less dirty data in the first place (dirty_background_ratio defaults to 15% of memory... even if you have 2TB of ram)

It's a point in time write barrier no? Everything before the sync has to get written. But writes are still getting added after the sync. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like sync has to not try to sync those latecomers, because other

The ruling is explicitly about individuals but I don't see how this can do anything but precedent for corporations at large. What if Wix had a Christian owner, or, to makeup an outlandish bogus scenario what if religious extremists too

The precedent here is that any of the 200 nations of the world now can arbitrarily tell browsers what to do. It's forcing the browser to be non-neutral to content & sites, forcing it to become a regulatory agent. Right now it also

Or tivo/dvr'ing our own computers. It's just a big stupid farce when technology is used to bluntly cudgel users. Even if the user intents arent what corporations want.

It depends on whether you consider a headline and part of a sentance the content or not, I I guess. It sure doesn't seem to me like creating a link & giving people an extremely concise blurb that hopefully entices them to follow it

Palm Pre's webOS (2009) is the most famous. After an acquisition by HP (2010-2013), it was acquired by LG's (with patents going to Qualcomm). The only other major entrant, Firefox, was short lived (2014-2015). Chrome OS (2011-) on

As a Debian user, it doesn't affect me. Supposedly back ported sources are also available just no longer tagged for RHEL, and if that's true my sadness is somewhat limited for my fellow distros, even if they are so heavily corpora

It is pretty amazing how even when government does create decent well intended laws, the diversity of jurisdictions are just so damned effective at maladapting. Government goes centrally, and subterfuge happens in massive parallel.

Very promising XuanTie C920 x 64 system, $1200 opening price. The pre-1.0 vector extensions are a little unfortunate but that's the timing. Really does set up the idea that the sea-change to RISC-V could be fast.
