If we've learned one thing about education over the years it's that past a certain point more funding doesn't help. Improving educational outcomes requires at least 2 things that the article mentions: 1. Engaged parents. 2. S

If your nation's currency is so mismanaged that Btc looks like an appealing alternative that says more about your nation's monetary policy than it says about Btc.

The async function also can't await outside of an async runtime. Which means I cant just call it and expect it to work. I need to wrap the call in an executor of some sort. If the async function doesn't do any awaiting itself

That isn't quite true. An async signature forces it's caller to be async as well. This is because of it's semantics. Most signatures don't infect their callers signatures like that. async is qualitatively different in th

There are multiple non security reasons to want deterministic and reproducible runtime environments. 1. Everything you need to describe and build a project is obtained by checking it out. 2. No more, works on my machine but not yours proble

Redhat contributes back to upstream in a lot of cases. I don't know if Rocky and co do or not but Redhat definitely does.

I think the more accurate way to interpret that proverb is: The pursuit of power corrupts. It's a warning that if your goal is having power and nothing else then you are susceptible to corruption. It's also a warning that having p

I would argue that when you are at the point of testing that the actual api works as you expect what you need is an integration test not a unit test. And you shouldn't mock it because if you mock it you won't actually be testing

No, But do you want to fight that out in court?

If it's a battle by all means avoid it. But it's weird that your ops team would care about the image type. The whole point of containers is that they don't need to care.

The mixer may obfuscate what happens inside it but unless it's a coin like zCash or something it's impossible to obfuscate that your coins interacted with the mixer. The ledger is cryptographically verifiable and completely public

I think most of the oceans are a barren wasteland. This is as far as I know, incorrect. I'm not sure why you think it would be true. Oceans, aside from areas like the Dead Sea are some of the most vibrant and life filled ecos

That is not what the author said. They said the JS Ecosystem was delightful. He then goes on to describe that Ecosystem. For some people that ecosystem is indeed delightful. They love the sheer complexity it takes to deploy a JS applicati

Yep, And I'm sure there are some instances that do exactly that. But in a distributed protocol you only get the benefit if both sides of a given interaction support the optimization. For something in the spec that is optional you can&#

I should note that as a protocol I suspect that ATProto is less chatty which does translate to reduced costs. It adds features on top that some may or may not want which increase costs in other ways but only for the people who want to utili

by zaphar 3y ago
In theory it would help. In practice since a server can't rely on this it probably devolves to just ignoring that feature.

Yes, I edited my comment too be more clear and. I shouldn't have referred to it as fetch because it's actually push.

by zaphar 3y ago
I wholeheartedly agree. From a purely technical analysis ATProto looks better as a protocol to me. But I don't use Bluesky I use ActivityPub because the people I want to be connected to are there and not on Bluesky. I do think you coul

One example of the chattiness is a flow where more than one person is following the same individual on another server. That person will have to push new messages to every single one of the people following them. This means that if 10 users

I run a single user ActivityPub instance with a minimal following and small number of people across multiple instances that I follow. From a user perspective ActivityPub is fine I have no complaints. However from an Ops perspective Activity

I don't hate tiktok. I don't hate it's business model or the product, per se. I just don't trust any company with strong ties to China and the CCP. When a company has those ties it changes from a question of whether you

Docker has a long history of issues with the daemon causing containers to freeze when dependencies go away of have issues. It's one of the reasons I prefer other container runtimes.

As a counterpoint to the article, I use loki, grafana, and promtail to manage logs for 5 hosts running a number of different services. I have had absolutely no issues for the last year. I haven't run into any of the issues the OP did.

Your question reads as slightly tongue in cheek. But you can learn something by asking and answering it in this case. When should you think about rewriting something? 1. When it's a common recurring source of bugs/problems/

In theory each of the things I care about could be covered by different laws or regulations. However they aren't. The only tool I have for that is copyright. If you find a route to getting those alternative methods established I'm

The right to make money off of it is only one form of misuse that copyright protects. My source code that I publish under the Apache 2.0 license gives me the right to defend against other forms of misuse than just making money off of it. So

I only need to reach for fancy git commands when a colleague come to me with a broken repo. How exactly they land in these situations is not always clear to me. But the frequency that it happens suggests something is confusing at least one
