A bet on cosmic rays is a rare bet indeed ;)

This project comes from FUTO, which is now making a name for itself by releasing and maintaining OSS alternatives like this, as well as sponsoring development of other OSS options. I personally first came across them when Louis Rossmann announced his affiliation. Very excited to see where this goes!

As an aside, I wonder what it will take to get the protocol integrated into browsers? I presume Chrome is a foregone conclusion, but maybe Firefox and/or Brave would be interested in an integration?

Does that make it any less entrenched?

Good point, bad tone :)

Don’t wait to grow up. The sooner you fail, the sooner you’ll succeed.

I think they’re obliquely referring to the scanning practices of major providers like Gmail, which most people use to filter their spam.

Interesting. Maybe footer emails tend to be support contact addresses rather than personal inboxes. Otherwise I’d find that discrepancy very surprising.

Unless you’re the one trying to sell them, in which case that’s part of doing business :)

I searched around and found this tutorial[0] on the official wiki. Seems like a decent intro to the history & syntax of the language. There’s also another tutorial[1] on the more modern iteration of the language, as well as some video tutorials[2] on using the IDE for GUI development.

Wow, what a treasure trove you’ve got there! I’ve subscribed via RSS, in case anything else comes down the pipe :)

Without a piece of paper to take notes on? ;)

Not true. See the author: https://twitter.com/parismarx/status/1571628269555826688?lan...

“It […] is used as a pejorative” Not to nitpick, but it clearly isn’t used that way by everyone, certainly not by the person you’re replying to.

I’m using the latest Brave (v1.57) on iOS 15.

To quote a sibling comment to yours:

> Try it and you'll get a bunch of people complaining that inline images are bloat and who needed an auth system anyway and why can't I use my IRC client from 1996 and your client wasn't supposed to use my RAM, I'm saving that for guests.

Matrix. It has an IRC bridge.

I think you’re conflating reasoning with inference. And in any case, GP wasn’t using reasoning, but rather resourcefulness/invention. I’m not sure an LLM can pull that off beyond coming up with vague, derivative fiction.

Better to target Ninja, no? Since it’s basically designed for that.

When the product is commercializing and manipulating its users, though, things aren’t so clear. Is it a gift, or a Trojan horse? That’s the open question here, regardless of Congress’s demagogic motives.

Projection. It has nothing to do with his politics, and everything to do with his corrosive and toxic style of management, communication, and planning.

The “j” is pronounced like the English letter “y”.

What’s stopping them?

Interesting. Do we have a concrete reason why, e.g., TLP[0] falls short of the power management features offered on other OSes?

Take it up with the way web standards work.

> We could even have compiler warnings for type-safe languages when someone declares an int with a name containing 'address/zip/postal/credit/card'

That sounds like it would be a better job for a linter than for a compiler.

“realistic daydream”? Did you go thesaurus-fishing for “practical idea”?

I agree with the gist, but have an issue with your takeaway:

> We don't have private justice, […]

Then what do you call arbitration causes?

> […] or private law enforcement.

But the laws are enforced differently based on race and economic status. It may not be private, but “rich white people” basically have an entirely different class of protection than anyone else does.

I don’t even know where to start. I guess because we as a society agree that we need protection from each other, that punishment is a thing, and that one of the ways we punish/isolate/shame people for transgressions is prison time? And because, if someone has to do it, then that someone ought to be paid to do it?

…not that it’s done properly or humanely though, or that the incentives are commensurate with those ideals. It seems we can’t agree on whether people who have ever shown an ounce of imperfection get to retain their rights. Ah, politics…
