Not by a long shot. Slow network latency also isn't taking up gigabytes of ram either.

Read the thread. The implication was that non-GC languages leads to memory leaks. Rust was then presented as an option that isn't worse than a GC language in that regard. Countering that with "Rust doesn't attempt to guarante

Sigh, no GC language guarantees no memory leaks either.

Which might/should prompt a rethink... You are correct, but I disagree with the premise. Javascript and the entire ecosystem is horrible and only came to rise because there was no other option. For the first time ever we do a have shot

As a developer, absolutely! But as someone who uses the internet for browsing, strong disagree.

Yeah, but once GC is an option 99% of the sites you are going to visit will utilize it and use as much resources that they could ever "get away" with.

> the initial version of WebAssembly is a terrible target if your language relies on the presence of a garbage collector. Lack of GC was one of the appealing parts of WASM to me. Keep it simple. It is good to be careful about utilizing

Kind of neat that the configuration is the ground truth and that you can't update your interface without updating the documentation, if I understood it correctly.

It was tongue in cheek to highlight the problems associated with it. Twitter by no means even attempts to solve this so it is hard to imagine what you are trying to imply. It is also kind of irrelevant. Because if it worked it wouldn't

Regardless, you shouldn't treat trust like that, don't use nordvpn. If I had to trust a mainstream vpn it would be mullvad.

That might have been true a decade ago, would not agree today. In particular I don't think oppressive governments that want to censor or shutdown Internet would be particularly accessible from twitter...

That assume that gitlab is friction free and takes zero time to use? Maybe something like gitea+teamcity solution is better and cheaper and has less opportunity cost? I like gitlab, but it feels they have been walking in the wrong direction

Microsoft solved this with the likes of winpopup and net send decades ago...

You can't communicate without twitter?

Not sure how twitter changes the equation? Lock down internet so only twitter works for free?

Oh, I need a new account. Hang on, can we book a new meeting in two weeks? I have to gather all my security keys first.

Seems awfully convoluted just to be able to store it in the cloud.

TRIM and FDE isn't perfect though as it leaks information about what parts have been written etc. And if you turn off TRIM you get a massive performance decrease.

Hard disagree, peoples homework missing was a daily occurrence and frustration. Drives being out of alignment and incompatible with other drives common. Yes, floppys can work really, really well. But I haven't encountered anything sinc

Noisy beasts... Hyperbole much? But yes, if by workstation you mean shiny then sure!

by tjoff 4y ago
For a workstation there are tons of options? I'd argue tha mac studio is a very weak offering for that usecase.

by tjoff 4y ago
Surely if you consider apple hardware you don't care about performance, price or supporting an ecosystem that underpins the very essence of you are trying to do. Buying mac hardware for a linux workstation is madness.

And opt-out or even mandatory data is without doubt quite bad to start with. And the interpretation of the data is rarely flawless or even pretends to be objective. So if someone says that opt-in data is useless, I'd say that out-out d

Disagree, the dominance of IMAP makes email much worse than it needs to be. To the very point of putting email at risk in the long run.

Not sure if you mean this as an excuse? Because it isn't.

And before that it was the google toolbar. Literal spyware.

Not sure you'll have the option for passwords much longer, no.

by tjoff 4y ago
Thank you, seems quite approachable. A different authenticator is paramount but the question is how secure and private a self-hosted solution can be, with reasonable effort.
