Lenin watches Danton and decided his big losing moment was preaching reason to revolutionaries, losing his head in the process.

He studies hard the play book, decides to push hard with the revolutionaries and upends the Tsar and half the world.

100 years later Banon watches Lenin…

Its criminal what we call history in the States.

That’s industry talking!

"Net Neutrality policies are a national standard by which we ensure that broadband internet service is treated as an essential service. It prohibits internet service providers from blocking, throttling, or engaging in paid prioritization of lawful content. "

So if they block or throttle you when you hit a cap…

Seriously this is probably lost to time, but we were setting up for this battle in the DSLAM era because every provider over sold their bandwidth. It lays pretty much untested because nobody was worried about pennies in a gold rush and that’s about the time fiber backbone started to make the problem irrelevant again.

With the caveat I’m technical not legal… Its largely kept data caps off domestic lines, but not entirely. Net neutrality has had a couple taking points and its a long fight at the FCC that’s gotten weirder by the decade.

Net neutral meant Microsoft couldn’t make the MSN dial up network prefer windows network traffic, over the years companies got smart and just opted to pay for peering instead of running the low profit access tunnel.

Google even drops boxes to cache stuff at tiny ISPs/WISPs, but doesn’t deprioritize traffic to other end points.

There have been intermittent swings at labeling this the pay to play it is, but since the investment isn’t spilling out of public works there’s a decent case this is the fastest you could give out access to everyone.

Even as a toy language if I can’t tell what it’s doing beyond interface with an llm prompt… What good is it?

Consistency and validity of output is essentially impossible to prove, because this has all the accuracy of both humans famously bad at explaining their problems to machines who understand 80% of it.

I believe not wanting to put the guy back in who did nothing as the Saudi’s bone sawed one of your writers falls into; common sense.

Bozo thought his own op ed was more important than the journalism of his “editorial board”, people who he presumably pays to write opinions. People who are journalists.

He thinks he’s an astronaut and a journalist because he can buy rocket companies and papers, but he’s a clown demonstrating his own lack of understanding of bias in plain English, his paper is worth but the circus music following him.

It hooks into nearly every base utility I can’t live without (fzf, jq, helix, ripgrep). If you’re on windows im not sure you’re going to get a ton unless you live in WSL.

You can pick the editor it’ll open by default, which should be configurable with comparable syntax highlighting. Vi can pretty much look like whatever. I think it’ll default to vscode on windows.

Im not sure what you’d use it for but manage files, but I would have poked it and probably moved along while I was still on windows.

Edit: the other benefit you might not see has a lot to do with support of mime types.

The xdg open protocol will open whatever app is assigned to handle type locally. Which is probably why it defaults to editor.

I binned my copies of ranger and nnn when I found this last year. Its stellar.

Diskonaut is the only other one that stuck, of the new CLI file managers. hunting lost files from a recovered hard drive was a lot easier with directory visualization for whatever reason.

That’s probably closer today than it was then. The added complication being that client is probably not thin enough for them to return to mainframe model which would be vastly easier to monetize.

Besides we got WSL out of the bargain, so at least inter op isn’t a reverse engineering job. Its poetically the reason linux ended up killing the last few win sever shops I knew. Why bother running win sever x just to run apache under linux. Why bother with hyper v when you can pull a whole docker image.

If the fortune 500 execs are sold on microsoft ita mostly as a complicated contactual absolution of cyber security blame.

I know about 3 people on earth that ever ran it in anything approaching production. Two of them still found a way to use the acme editor til LSPs took over, one is still at it.

It remains a pretty cool project you can still find people maintaining the bones of it. I think the core utils are ported and in the arch repo.

This. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I tend to think you can secure yourself some of the gains without rooting your phone, but it’s a lot of twiddling and an ecosystem swap.

I loathe apple, but if you’re not ready to dive in, your home devices are where I would start. Routers, modems, home PCs, learn how to set up encryption and redirection to put things behind. Ditch your roomba.

Edit; I did not mean to talk down, sounds like your on that train. Android is linux and adb is awesome (sometimes).

Keepassdx/xc and syncthing have been awesome, rise up has a decent free VPN client for public use in fdroid.

I mean it predates a lot of the pervy anime, but Usenet looked the same at the start with lots of Unix/computer boards and an alt.

Computer enthusiasts gonna enthusiastically talk about computers. People who pick up and move to a new platform are likely to be united around being technically competent enough to get there first, and everything else second.

Science of identity?

I hadn’t heard of it til the odd confluence of seeing Prysner’s name on QAA. His own podcast eyes left covers her recent bio.

There’s some evidence she’s a cult member, and was posturing as some kind of Manchurian candidate.

No, really.

Mike Prysner has made a few decent podcasts (QAA, eyes left) following her political career and service. I don’t think you can definitionally tie her to membership, but she’s got some questionable associations.

Cisco has been clueless for awhile. The people who want speed don’t trust them to do basic network stacks, they want to do something more complicated?

The HFT industry noticed Cisco was messing with routing stacks, and you can essentially look to the entire market cap of Arista as a direct result. Specifically people wanting to avoid the headaches of the nexus line (EOS is nice!).

They are the victims of their own success to the point they long ago cannibalized actual product innovation. A lot of the industry still wants their certs, but nobody I know who values speed (local stripped back switches) or stability/availability (AWS and minimal office equipment) would chose them for much. A lot of the purchases are from big players with long contracts, the “Nobody got fired for IBM” of network equipment.

This just screams moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

For the most part what kind of company you are is what kind of product you’re selling or making money off of.

So you could contend that Tesla is a battery company or a car company feasibly. Nobody ahead of the AI bubble would have mentioned Tesla and artificial intelligence in the same category.

Besides, if it’s what he makes money selling Tesla is a tax credit company.

Hey I’m you at almost 40! I was always dev adjacent, but never learned to do much more than basic scripting for work.

I started with a couple books: Chassels intro to emacs lisp and Python the hard way.

Python was helpful for a couple things, but the ecosystem is kind of a disaster. I found just the general emacs config helps quite a bit get your feet wet with lisp likes.

Other people have mentioned Go is a great start point because its simplified, and I’ve definitely found it a lot more helpful than the java and C compliers I tried to learn on in my teens.

The only other thing I’d throw out is Lua, it’s super verbose in a way thats pretty easy to understand. it’s also relatively easy to find programs like wezterm that are configured through lua and offer instant reaponses when you change something and see changes.

Just like any new language it takes time, and some hard work to internalize what youre learning, but I don’t think there’s a too old.

You don’t have to be the best programmer ever to do useful things.

Thank you for this, been hunting for a decent gesture typing option for awhile. Floris board had been decent, but the lack of actual suggestions was brutal to work around.

Things like this make me wish the traditionally anti government party wasn’t a bunch of loonies, because they’d be the ones pushing this to public conscious in a way that might move the needle.

I don’t doubt the intentions of (some) progressive members of government, but they’re outgunned and have a long list of priorities. Getting legislation to reverse this isn’t coming from corporatists, the infinite retention is going to seem like a feature to business.

If you have the patience letting the drip of communities surface through your instances ‘all’ feed has been a good way to take in the growth.

I have an account I don’t normally comment from I leave all the memes unblocked for killing time, otherwise it’s been a lot of negative filtering and following interesting comments.

If you’re self hosting that’s a different problem.

I laughed a little because I’m not sure I ever grew out of the expectation of everything being a little broken. You are going to learn so much you could have done without.

On a more sober note I’m not sure adding a business model fixes the problem anymore.

If we paid for our anonymity like toll roads or subscriptions we box out people who can’t afford it. Commodity level information isn’t likely to be decreasing in value any time immediately.

If equitable access is also on the list, I don’t see anything but regulation and taxes getting you there. Just look at the steam store prices outside the first world and you have an idea for how poorly it could go.
