Are you referring to the Online Safety Act 2021? https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2021A00076 Or something else?

I also had a similar concept but went in a different direction, combining DAOs, AI, and FHE to similar ends. The idea is plausible, and given several orders of magnitude more energy and compute power, might become feasible sooner than we ca

All power to the author and the passion for open source is admirable, I just don't think we'll be seeing a world in "a couple more decades" where all software will be open source. The assertions in the opening sentences

The underlying work you guys have done is great as a proof of concept, and after playing with it for a short while there are some obvious flaws and improvements which basically just come down to user experience. As it stands, everyone'

It's fascinating how deeply automobiles affect every aspect of our lives to the point where seatbelt vs safety seat even matters. To consider a world without significant car commuting each day seems insane to most people because it&#x2

From a design point of view, with all the back and forth and the need to curate and guide the algorithm, I think we're a way off getting perfect results from prompts alone at this stage. I can see an immediate use-case for an AI layer

I'm highly self-critical so I'd go through phases where suddenly I'd decide I need to be on-brand and delete all my stories, musings, music, non-brand-related stuff. Only to get anxious later and think "now I just look l

Archaeologists still study garbage heaps from tens of thousands of years ago to figure out things about past civilisations. So my guess is on no - people will study the digital garbage heaps of humanity as much as they study the... once-wer

As a senior developer, if working just in the office as was expected in the past I was distracted by things like a story about the weekend two colleagues are having in the background that sounds amusing, or the junior developer constantly s

I am not against jQuery but if it's just verbosity then it's quite easy to: const $ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document) Then later: $('#element').whatever I used to be a big proponent of jQuery especially in the h

Usually I'm not bothered by how a font looks but this one was unpleasant to me as well and I'm not one to usually notice. It seems they're using a font face designed for titles in the body text. "“The Bodoni typestyle is

This is not going against what you said in principle, I feel what you are saying, but I feel the need to add that I was admin of a few topic oriented message boards in the 90's and early 2000's, and yeah as you said it was pretty

Many of the projects I worked on would have a near-identical replication of an environment from the network stack to the application and databases. Flipping from staging to production was sometimes as simple as a DNS update. It's alway

I was reaching on the mapping of numbers to letters to be honest. If I were designing a system to track and corelate everything I'd take it into account since it's still in use, but yeah that was a definite stretch in this case. B

Telemetry is the catch-all phrase used to describe data captured about a device. Telemetry servers combine this information to build profiles on users. Network models of relationships between devices and user behaviours are used in recomm

"xyzzy: nothing happens, nice try!" Drats! Nice little tie-ins with memorabilia as well. I started writing a similar thing myself based on the Amstrad CPC look-n-feel. I should go back and finish it.

If permanency is a priority then letting external scripts be responsible for presenting content is not a good idea, especially if the agreement doesn't make any promises about whether content will be permanent, and doubly so if the agr

"We only have two environments: our laptops, and production. Once we merge into the main branch, it will be immediately deployed to production." Maybe my reading skills have completely vanished but to me, this exactly says they de

This sounds like something I would write if a hypothetical gun was pointed at my head in a company where the most prominent customer complaint was that time spent in QA and testing was too expensive. I have zero trust in any company that de

Tangential but what is the most successful and most complex example of a fully FP-based application where I can view the source-code today? I feel like I still don't quite grasp the essence of the conflict between FP and whatever it se

Possibly a lot of the 40k went into branding and other fluff, but something in the core engine might have intrinsic value even if its extrinsic value wasn't properly realised or couldn't find a place in the market as a standalone

A few hot takes: - I feel some analogous thinking with computational complexity. An action may have broad repercussions, but in big O thinking, as we approach infinity, only those factors with the most significant impact matter. Considering

Content I find interesting, fair but firm moderation keeping the vibe in check, constructive conversations by and large. I never really notice the UI personally.

Somewhere deep underground, in a high-tech laboratory, a group of scientists lean over a slice of toast levitating in some Contact-esque structure... "Dr Gibbons! The zero-point readings are off the scale! We've done it!" The

I find the cube rule to be naïve in its ignorance of topological spaces. A sandwich is just a cross section of mobius toast. A wrap is just toast projected onto a cylinder. A calzone is just toast projected onto a sphere. Everything is toas

This helps complete the picture, thanks. In my current use-case I am batching up precomputing some expensive calculations in a genetic algorithm which all needs to be finished before I can run the competition. If one of the phenotypes throw

I think I'm getting the picture from this and other replies. To get close to a sense of structured concurrency I've had to lean on a plugin that handles worker threads (or would have to write one myself), and tie this in with asyn

So I guess my example resembles some form of structured concurrency but the threads are not encapsulated in the parent's closure. I still need to structure my promises and await / async logic to deal with the edge cases and make s
