The Pixel 9’s updated design language is giving iPhone from the front

I imagine they’d be eyeing things like having a partnership with patreon so patrons get access to an exclusive subreddit at a certain tier (with reddit getting some cut). Not saying patreon specifically would go for that but I imagine that type of monetization is what they’d be mostly considering. Or maybe a better example would be something in the realm of substack. Paying directly for access is hard to get people to go for without a third party with financial incentive to drive content.

Memes aside, global population density maps look substantially different.

I would guess the map of IMBD voters would look similar.

MXRoute is about a decade old and based in Texas. It’s in that “unix philosophy” category of doing something well and stopping there so you won’t get them advertising their new crypto wallet or AI software on you. It’s mostly geared for more technical bring your own domain type of usage. If you’re wanting to use it more as a forwarder and want to store the history locally (or if you don’t email files) there’s a “lifetime” plan available.

That makes no sense. If you join b’ and b’’ into b then the external interface of b is the union of the external interfaces of b’ and b’'. The risk of conflicts between those two interfaces is minimal in the situation they described so no need for namespacing.

I expected the argument to be based on total effort to split then join the internal code compared to the context switching cost of splitting and then splitting again (with an appeal to agile vs waterfall). But this argument feels like they were either dealing with a language/stack with a broken module system that lacks an explicit separation of internal vs exposed or were just joining things strangely.

Expressing a general rule based solely on a specific situation is a disservice (irony intended).

There’s a bug! You can click buttons once after they disappear.

It takes like 5 minutes to beat…

no other languages out there where you can just write some code in VIM directly on the server through SSH and immediately see your results without any further setup

I didn’t realize SA still exists.

For that size and given it’s a pi, maybe just a cheap usb stick

“HMD View” is a name that should be used for a VR headset. Like doubly so.

Next to 0 of the people brigading the PRs and Issues have any interest in using SerenityOS either.

Github really needs better protections against harassing behaviors.

Seems kinda trash tbh. Like the concept I love, I would love a cross-language “by examples” learning resource and snippet repository beyond SO. But looking through there most of the function options are trivial problems. The ones that aren’t one or two lines mostly have broken code that passes very few tests. The weird Z naming of function and variable makes it totally unreadable. The “composition” option is barely comprehendable and beyond that I only see two language options so it can’t even serve as a “rosetta stone”.

I’d usually do the former because by build number I usually mean pipeline or job id in a build server. You could build 4.0.4 and then 3.4.18 and so 4.0.4 could be build number 1026 while 3.4.18 is 1027.

You can also just use a special number to keep your version number unique when doing dev builds so your version number comes through like 3.5.2-48 and some might call the 48 a build number, in which case that would make sense to reset with each version number.

I wonder if you applied inflation from the time that idiom was first popularized what the modern price would be.

They probably have a bunch of 1 hour ‘books’ that mess with the average as shorter is cheaper to help pad out their numbers.

Looking at my personal library, the median length audiobook is The Last Wish at a tad over 10 hours. So it’d be equal to 1.5 books going by that, not the worst marketing exaggeration I’ve ever seen.

Data size and user expectations is the main difference. It’s possible but there’d be a lot of latency and overhead for just scrolling down a page with a bunch of images. Maybe there’s fancy stuff you could do by batching images together and reusing connection pools but it feels sisyphean.

Mastodon and lemmy handle this in slightly different ways. Mastodon (according to the link) replicates media on every instance while lemmy (mostly) only replicates thumbnails. That means a popular post doesn’t cause load for one server on mastodon but does on lemmy. But Mastodon has a higher aggregate cost due to all the replicated data, which is what the linked proposal solves by making it sublinear.

If the torrent is instance to instance I don’t see any real benefit (and instance to client is infeasible). On Mastodon side you still have data duplication driving storage costs and bandwidth usage regardless of whether it’s delivered via direct http or torrent. On the lemmy side it wouldn’t gain much (asymmetric load is based on subscription count and so not very bursty) but would add a lot of non-determinism and complexity to the already fragile federation process.

Conventional solutions like cache/CDN/Object Storage or switching to a shared hosting solution (decoupled from instances like your link proposes) seems like a more feasible way to address things.

I wish I could drop 2024
