Thanks, you’re absolutely right — performance needs to be tested on large inputs with proper speed and memory profiling. I’ll run FSP on bigger datasets and compare it directly with zstd, brotli, gzip, etc. If needed, I’ll improve the algorithm to reduce overhead and make it scale better. This was just an early proof-of-concept, but I agree the next step is serious benchmarking.

i dont want to call linux old fashioned but to still be working the kinks out of windowing system in 2025 boggles me... its almost as if there's a resistance to GUIs or something.

Yeah this is so cringe, but it makes me kind of laugh. Out of all the things the Western world historically imposed on Asian cultures, it makes me laugh this is the thing that made me feel is most cringeworthy as of recent.

Please keep your tip customs out of our culture.

I don't know that but Certainly it predates the current head of US health being a major public figure.

At the time I did some data analysis on the usernames of people promoting these ideas. Before the Reddit API changes you could get statistics on subs that had an overlap of users. What I noticed was there was an overlap with fringe political subs. The autistic subs with more anger issues had more fringe political people in it and as the subs became angrier the overlap increased. Inevitably the most vocal and pushy angry people were active in those political subs. You can see similar things with the angrier comments on HN.

I don't think it's an inevitable response to the things you mention. But it may be related. For example there's the term "weaponized autism" [e.g. 0]. That is, politically fringe and extreme groups talk and joke regularly about weaponizing autistic people as trolls. I think the autism forums became part of the recruiting funnel for this sort of extremism. At least that's the hypothesis that seemed to best explain all the factors.

[0] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35947316/ # I don't know if this paper or journal are any good. It's just the top hit that seemed relevant. One of the authors is Simon Baron Cohen, a well known autism researcher.

By your definition there is virtually no democratic entity in this world :)

> Anything else is green washing.

you mean "democracy-washing"? ;)

The world is not perfect. Striving for perfection is futile...

Google requires a phone number?

My parents are both on their third flip phones. Some people really like the form factor

Very, very, very few consumers even know what sideloading is

Is this a good time to plug the creation of chat protocols running over distributed hash tables (DHT) (essentially a decentralized way of creating mini-servers) and with forward security and end-to-end encryption? I made a POF in Rust but I don't have time to dev this right now. (Unless angel investors to help me shift priorities lol...)

Looks amazing. I'm currently using Mantine alot and still super happy with it so far, but will keep this in mind. I just wish somebody would finally build something of similar quality for ReactNative. The existing solutions I'm aware of all fall short in comparison.

Ironic that mathematics suffers due to an overemphasis on numbers.

That would just transfer power from the small countries to the big countries.

I thought the idea of a folding phone was just a cash grab until I saw someone on the plane across the aisle from me interacting with one. It has been a while since I saw someone get so much enjoyment out of a device. The back and forth between folded and unfolded to read messages and watch movies/read a book was mesmerizing. It made me realize that this form factor could actually enhance the user experience in a meaningful way.

I'm not a fan of tipping in general, but as an American who has spent a lot of time in Europe, my experience is that the level of service in American restaurants is quite a bit higher than in European ones on average. That's not to say that in Europe it's bad service per se, and in certain ways I actually prefer it in Europe where the server isn't constantly "checking in" on me while I'm trying to have dinner.

I read that paragraph, but my reading of it was different from yours. As far as I can see, it only discusses training time and experience. No mention of time for sleep.

Though yes, I do give it credit for going at least a little of the way - not far enough, but a little - in pushing back on the 'human error' scapegoating, in favor of asking questions about procedures and policies.

Funny how we never hear WHY EU is undemocratic in these posts. It's always this one line dropped in the middle of conversations.

And every time I push a bit the answer seems to be "EU didn't follow my preferred decision". :P

What's the problem with living in Brussels? I'm not European, and very curious about that.

Sounds like what bcache does? https://bcache.evilpiepirate.org/

This is what bcachefs is based on.

I'm curious how quickly that trend will reverse when Google fulfills their promise to lock down sideloading on android.

Samsung makes nice hardware, but their bloatware is infuriating. I spend a lot of time on every new device, using ADB to purge as many samsung apps as I can. I'm getting tired of doing it.

Once I can't sideload anymore on android, my next phone will be an iphone.

Killing, incarcerating or attacking trans people for merely existing does not protect children, yet in the name of “protecting” the children violent is advocated for.

Never mind of course that this is parroted from the same people who push conversion therapy, where pastors and whatnot abuse, rape and otherwise damage children in the name of “fixing the gay out of them”.

Nobody is giving children cross sex hormones, so can we retire that argument already and have an honest and empathetic conversation?

If you really think people who take cross sex hormones are doing so because they are ideologically motivated tells me you are too far lost in the sauce. You have been lied to repeatedly and believe lies.

Maybe it’s worth it to talk to some real humans in real life and try to listen?

I've lived all over the place. Currently New York, but not looking to replicate that. Goal is someplace walkable with nice weather and people, and adequate health care. We've spent time in Portugal, Uruguay, Argentina, Thailand, England, and several others for brief visits. Oh, and decent internet :-)

Sure, if you have a patent. If you don't and the patent shield is intended more as pre-emptive protection then MPLv2 or GPLv3 are better.

I do think about such things, but having "a tonne of options" when they're mostly terrible is the opposite of helpful.

Let's pull out an easy one, you mention the move assignment semantic. In C++ that's a performance leak because it isn't the destructive move - so each such move incurs a creation whether you wanted one or not and it may also incur a "moved-from" check in the destructor, another overhead you wouldn't pay with the destructive move.

The primacy of European Union law applies to member states of the European Union. That is part of what the countries agreed to in order to become a member state. Some countries negotiated opt-outs for specific laws that they felt shouldn't apply to them before joining - and disgruntled member states could attempt the same by threatening to leave.

The only way that the European Union can 'force' compliance of a member state is for the EU Commission (or, exceptionally, the Parliament and Council) to withhold EU funds from that member state. Those funds were never the property of the member state in the first place though - again, no infringement on national sovereignty.

I switched to Fedora Kinoite about two years ago and it's been a great experience. Updates are mostly invisible to me, I only layer a handful of packages (zsh, fzf, distrobox) and I do development inside of distrobox containers so I don't have weird build dependencies in my base system.

Desktop apps are all Flatpaks, including Steam.

What I expect to happen is that bcachefs stabilizes outside of mainline, and after that, it can be merged back because no large patches = not much drama potential.

This is basic low tech from centuries ago, people used to spread out wet sheets on fields of tall grass.

I dry my linens outside (I'm not American), and no chemical bleach beats the effectiveness of the sun turning oxygen and water to peroxide.

How do you determine what is a good district or not?

For me, personally? I do it for kicks. But in general, there do exist many data loads in the world which are valuable to the holder, valuable enough to be worth the low cost of a backup, up until time T in the future. After T, however, they become more of a liability than an asset to hold. A self-destructing backup model is the obvious fit for such situations. Both the positive-sum and the negative-sum periods need to be considered to truly safeguard your data properly.
