This should not be allowed. It means (a) one TLD does not operate at the most fundamental level like the others; (b) all of the individuals who are using third-level .name domains are left high and dry

Time to move off of Codeberg. They provide a service, that's it. I don't want drama from my service providers, and censorship incurs drama. I think some censorship is needed (hate speech, CP), but I do not want projects deleted be

The article makes sense for me. I see it like the broken windows policy of software development. If you allow sloppiness in the small places, the places where you allow it will grow, until your code base is riddled with it. The fight for co

Never going to happen, the federal government uses VPNs, so do banks, so do many companies that contribute to political campaigns.

Bjarne Stroustrup said "C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off". The same is true of Rust macros. When you need them they're awesome, but you should alm

I used lit for a project a couple years ago, and loved it. It had some warts, mostly around working with React components and the Shadow DOM. But it's barebones IIRC. One of the things I loved about it was that it was focused on implem

This brings back memories. I enjoyed following the travels described in the She's a Flight Risk series. I never did quite buy that it was a hoax either, though perhaps I am too gullible. If Isabella V. was real, then I hope she's

Great idea, and I'm looking forward to trying this out! Each person with ADHD is affected a little differently, based on anecdotal evidence from family and friends. What are the available customization options?

Someone, somewhere in DARPA, watched Real Genius and said 'Hey, we can DO that!'.

MMW: This will be the death of Chrome. I also do not see Google parting with something so critical to their advertising. With their own browser they control the full length of the wire between the ad-server and the user. Without it, they do

We've seen down that road. We know where it leads. Look at the imagined futures of games such as Shadowrun and Cyberpunk. This way lies an extreme dystopia for everyone except the ultra-rich.

I like this, but need more detail in my log and have too many things in a given day to have them all on a line. Had the following idea, and will try it out at some point. Call it calendar.md Use calendar.txt format and method with the follo

A company can produce software that is two of fast to make, good, or cheap to make. A publicly traded company seems legally obligated to not choose good, because fiduciary responsibility is interpreted as what's good for short term gai

I suspect this is because of a continuing rise in the percentage of home sales representing home purchase as an investment by an investor instead of purchase for habitation, but I have no citable research to back that up at the moment.

In your opinion, how far out are we from an AI agent that is usable as a daily driver (i.e., does not have the flaws in Operator, or other common flaws)?

I called myself a Semiotics Engineer for 4 years, but the title didn't catch. I did domain analysis, logical model creation, concrete model creation in XML/OWL/KML, model review and improvement, semantic reasoning-based syste

This is fascinating work and sounds a little like the research my daughter says she wants to study (she's only a sophomore at UMBC right now, though). She hopes to get an internship in the summer of her junior year. She is interested i

There was the Locker project by Jeremie Miller (XMPP), but it failed to gain traction and I think he pivoted into a more small scale commercial effort with it IIRC. The telehash protocol of Locker was extremely interesting.

Nice UX, fairly intuitive. Good work!

Kudos for creating this. However, as others have said, the HTTP/1.1 protocol is most of what is needed. I do think there is room for improvement though. Not in the conceptual or logical HTTP/1.1 protocol, but in the physical over-

"everyone is assumed to be acting in good faith". Right. I think that when it comes to network service security the old adage told to my father by an Irish Catholic priest applies: "Bill, once you understand that most people

I thought one of the goals for the FOSS movement was to increase adoption of FOSS software by corporations. How is corporations avoiding GPL code a reason to use GPL when creating new software?

This is possibly why a number of Fortune 500 and government organizations avoid GPL like the plague. This whole debacle 'won' one battle for GPL licensing but set the war (and their stated ultimate goals) back by a significant amo

No, it's not well-engineered (speaking with over 25 years as a professional software engineer), at least the portions of the code I have looked at. Things I vaguely remember (it's been ten years since I looked at it) are lack of d

Regardless of where you stand on AI vs Artist divide, the claim that prompted AI work contains no human authorship is clearly false. Let's suppose I as a blind muse conceive of an amazing vista and describe in painstaking step-by-step

The marshalling cost might be negligible for come use cases, but the bandwidth usage definitely is not. I think the best interface description protocol is one where the serialization format is unspecified. Instead, the protocol describes ho

I dug up a blog post of mine that's no longer on the net, from 2012. Some of the resources are likely still valid. The links did not come through, so you'll need to do some searching. Top 10 Resources For Getting Started with Erla

My empathy is with Automatic on this one, but I still think it's the wrong move. "Now one could say that the license allows that and it's legal. Sure, but so is cutting their free access off. If WPEngine is just leeching and

I think it requires a third thing: long-term thinking. Other commenters noted that Google and Microsoft had big piles of money and a decent moat. They have not created anything like Bell Labs. Google tried, with DeepMind. The problem is tha
