I wrote an article [1] back in June about Lemmy and how reddit communities leaving should approach it but it seems like in practice it's been a lot more unstructured than I thought it should have been. Most users/boards are on le

Doesn't 23andme only do localized sequencing for particular SNPs that are relevant for genealogical investigation? I didn't think they did full-genome sequencing.

That's in-line with my general criticism of Nostr. It's a very simple protocol that imposes too little structure on downstream software so you get a kind of impedance mismatch (so to speak) at the messaging layer. There's n

In the United States, the Fed cannot deploy a production CBDC on its own. Their responsibilities and privileges are bound by a mandate of congress, so it would require an act of congress to allow them make it happen and on what terms.

The title is misleading. The IMF has an interest in being able to ensure digital payments are actually delivered to the parties they're supposed to since a big problem with foreign aid is cash payments being taken by force by local wa

Presumably if it's a mass storage device with block-addressible storage then the host's fs driver should be able to (if it has its own file checksums) transparently identify the corruption and re-read the block, right? Or at leas

I had a similar issue on my old phone and I'm pretty sure it was because of something wrong with the connector on the phone's side.

It's very easy to bodge together a USB-A connector in a pinch in a way that USB-C just isn't. USB-A is simple and there's literally tens of billions of devices that would be made just a little bit closer to being e-waste i

Making this work would likely mean that the CDN edge servers become much more stateful and the costs of operating that might outweigh the additional revenue.

A lot of the first set of points seem to be a result of Microsoft's self-sabotaging. I'm not going to pretend any Linux-based OS has any support for parental controls, but especially the points about the news feed and search didn

This! Car drivers like to complain about the cost of building bike infrastructure. But if you look at the statistics, bike infrastructure is like 1/100th of the cost per mile as car infrastructure.

That doesn't read like a "screed" to me. That's a pretty reasonable justification and it's probably not worth the effort to support a toolchain to target Metal for a platform that isn't often used for gaming i

My building also uses RealPage and I got the lease renewal notice the other day. I was on the way out when I saw the note so I skimmed it and only saw the "20% increase" number not realizing it was for if I wanted to switch to a

Accelerated video decoding is an example. It uses VA-API or VDPAU to decode video onto a surface that is then composited into the final frame entirely on the GPU.

> Is this something every Linux desktop application will need to do? The idea is that GTK+ and Qt can (and do) add support for Wayland and it's trivial for applications to support Wayland, often without even recompiling.

That's very obvious reducto ad absurd. The FCC has a clear mandate with regard to radio regulation. Visible light is clearly outside that domain.

I think it's very plausible but it would require first a ton of training data cleaning using existing models in order to be able to rework existing data sets to fit into that more narrow paradigm. They're so powerful and flexible

My rule of thumb is that if you're building something sophisticated enough that you want to reach for more "advanced" js frameworks then you shouldn't be building it as a web app.

Cell phones are just a tool that can be used in any way. The companies that designed the software and platforms that runs on them and they connect to made the internet a worse place.

Pixelfed is trying to be a federated version of Instagram, with the generally pro-user design that goes along with it that goes along with that.

That's not at all what I was referring to. It's not merely having channels as function arguments. Channels broadly have footguns around how closed and nil channels are treated and you can run into work contention/starvati

by treyd 3y ago
Go's channels also have a lot of footguns and should be abstracted in a handle type in a public API.

I don't know why anyone trusted Vercel in the first place. The vibes of VC money funding an unsustainable offering for a relatively niche market are so strong, it doesn't make any sense.
