@npub1grx…uxfe yes, I do not think it’s the best decision, I’m merely reporting, these users don’t care much about growth in general (they’ll say things like “growth for growth is a cancer mindset“), they want a safe space with their friends, not a public square like twitter was. I think we should be able to accommodate both with servers for different communities with policies that makes sense for them, and not necessarily force the choice of a minority on everyone, if it’s not necessary.

2024-03-25 01:37:29

- reply

@npub1grx…uxfe yes, but a vocal portion of users want search to be useless, they fear being targeted by harassers looking for things they talk about (which is justified), and they don’t want to have to opt out of search, they want a level of privacy that makes search useless to be the default, and for now, they got their way. No one has succeeded in building something useful that didn’t make them go full war against it until they flinched and deleted it while asking for forgiveness.

@npub1grx…uxfe anyone who tried building anything publicly got shouted down, afaik the only change is that now anyone can opt-in to be publicly searchable, in their account preferences, and then the normal search gets better results from them, but since it's opt-in, and we don't constantly tell people to enable it, most people probably don't have it active, so the results are still quite limited.
I get what the people asking for opt-in, want, but boy does it make things harder for everyone else…

@npub105v…hk8p I would be surprised if there is not some level of consolidation at some point, unless a community is not federating with the rest, their hosting costs will grow with the size of the fediverse, rather than its own size, so small instances will be less efficient.
I have no experience with hosting mastodon, but the concept of a cache that you can never delete seems weird, surely things not accessed in a long time should be fine?

@npub1h4u…cnpk didn't try it, advantage of this solution is that it's really python, disadvantage is that you need a wasm build of python, which i assume is many megabytes, so users need to download that when they visit your website, before anything works, not great for slow connections, and probably a bit slower than the JavaScript engine running natively in your browser.
I love Python, and not a fan of JavaScript, but i would have to try to see how painful/less the communication between them is.

@npub1a4c…t2kf i didn't study it, but the kind of examples i usually get are washing machines, vacuum cleaners, cookware, etc. There might be a big survivor bias, but people generally report how they bought (for half a fortune, yes) something 20 or 30 years prior, it worked fine, and the modern replacement was dead in 5 years.
I think the main change, if any, is the availability of cheap & non-durable options.
I'm also very suspicious of concepts like planned obsolescence, but i don't have hard data.

@npub1a72…ze5k @npub1gfd…7gg6 This particular thing looks like something one could build a cheaper version relatively easily, but yeah, if you need it to work, you are not going to think too much about that price, better focus on the important stuff than spend a week building a shoddy version of it.

@npub1u0r…92zh i think i'm also at n(log(n), because adding a new galaxy only adds N operations, but i'm not sure how you'd get the sum of the intergalactic distances without computing these, i can imagine computing all their distances to a common reference, maybe as signed vectors instead of their norm, but i can't think of the math that would allow us to get the pair distances from that.

- reply

@npub129g…4kwg but i needed that to be able to implement Ord for the type, which i needed to sort my struct using that type.
I resorted to reuse a method i had built to convert each to a number of points, leveraging it to use the integer comparison.
impl PartialEq for HandTypes {
fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
self.to_num() == other.to_num()
}
}

2023-12-07 22:37:21

- reply

@npub129g…4kwg yeah, i finally understood my mistake 😆
impl PartialEq for HandTypes {
fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
self == other
}
}
lldb did indicate me that the issue was in PartialEq, that was useful, but my eyes passed over it a few times before it clicked 🤦‍♂️
HandTypes is an Enum, so it felt a bit silly to implement.

2023-12-07 21:32:06

So i was happy enough with #rust for #AdventOfCode up to now, even as a beginner, but damn, not only i didn't really expect to be able to build code that stackoverflows, (did i misunderstood what rust promised me?), but debugging that is, as far as i can tell, a very bad experience, i got lucky once fixing my first mistake, but the current one is not obvious, so i'm installing lldb as i read it's one way to go about it, but not very on par with the rest of the (very good) experience so far.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 i don't think animals always know why they do the things they do (and i include humans in the lot), there are behaviors that have been selected by evolution, and are not necessarily conscious. A tactic might be entirely driven by heuristics, which refined over hundreds of millions of years, will be pretty close to what something with such "theory of the mind" would do, but driven by different inputs.
At least, that's my intuition.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 in France it's possible to be sentenced to being impossible to elect for some years, it did happen to people who were caught mishandling money (e.g Alain Juppé, though it got reduced from 10 years to 1 year…), if it was ever applicable to someone, i'd say DFT is the one, considering all the abuse of power, but i don't know if such a thing exist in the US. (but since felons can lose their right to *vote* i'd guess it's not far fetched?)

@npub1sys…ckr3 if they don't follow you, it's possible than depending on their instance setting, they might not see your answer indeed, it's good for the fediverse to go to smaller instances (so people advocate going really small, as "the admin knows everyone" sized, but i think even a large-ish instance that is not .social is already better, and can be better founded.)

@npub19qm…sn8k imagine someone doing that in a traffic jam.
The best thing to do is to move on as smoothly as possible, not causing jitter (because people don't move in sync), of course it's not always practical when you have to pick up your things to move, but letting all that space is crazy.

2023-08-04 20:58:58

- reply

@npub19qm…sn8k scrutiny is actually mostly on big companies, and small ones usually don't have as much information to gather about their users, making it easier to comply. Being compliant is actually really easy if you don't spy on your users. Just don't save PII, and/or allow to delete whatever you save to users, and you are in the clear.

Great game all around, some parts of the story felt a bit more forced/cringe than in others ("royals are so good to their people") but aside that, really well done. And yeah, great ending

@npub19qm…sn8k arguably making a button bigger can sometimes be harder than whiteboarding an algorithm, but yeah interviews asks you about complexity of various algorithms, and corner cases where it degenerates, and in the codebase you find nested loops to compare long lists, brute force algorithms to find matches of values, and nobody looks into it unless things gets really slow, and throwing hardware at it doesn’t cut it.

@npub1pav…4qst i, for one, am not sure it's the right decision, but i respect it.
Sure, i don't like meta, it's a terrible company, but i'm curious about the effect of bringing many new users to the fediverse, even if through them, and we won't know about the impact if everybody blocks them.
I think we need to think about *how* they could badly impact us, precisely, and what we could do to prevent that, and if blocking is necessary, so be it, but it might be neither necessary nor sufficient.
