In my experience Pi hole is a very worthwhile investment. People who used my internet when I had one would remark how much faster it was. Everything in general seems faster, even things that you wouldn't think of. I typically use Brave

Interesting that they don't know exactly how they are perceiving magnetism. I suppose it could be an internal brain mechanism, but if that were to be able to operate without direct outside sensory input, there might be all kinds of oth

I can see that. On most metrics I've seen Rust is comparable on general speed. Maybe if you're at the level where you've essentially writing portable assembly and are okay with lack of safety. You need to know exactly what is

I learned C++ and enjoyed it but never went too deep. I always enjoyed C more. There's also so many S tier codebases to read to learn C better like the original Dune game engine or Unix utilities. Having dabbled a bit with Rust recentl

Something like air tags would be a great use case for an open source DePin project. Ideally Zero Knowledge proofs would be used to preserve privacy.

The Counterfactuals of his ideas are very interesting. Chilean socialism didn't work (just ignoring the coup, it couldn't actually run the economy), but the reasons why it failed, or in other forms could have worked bear considera

Amazing. Younger people (and people new in any field) often think of intersting approaches without the blessing/curse of "best practices." The process for creating the game was very good and very logical way to learn a new fi

Yes, in terms of market share. But the key difference is that it's leagues better than other browser engines on quality. From the perspective of competition this isn't great, but the network effects are hard to ignore. Firefox and

Deno doesn't implements this differently, it's just an alternative server side run time. It has some better defaults compared to node though

Nobody really uses multithreading for node. I mean I'm some projects do (maybe pnpm?) but the threading support isn't great and the event loop performs well.

Agreed, I realize it would need to be effectively another language, or at least a very different implementation. This isn't to far off from what new projects like Deno and Bun are doing though, apart from also needing to spread the eve

I have nothing but disdain for TikTok and the CCP but this seems like a very misguided approach. Being open and willing to accept foreign media (even when it's of low quality or propagandistic) is an advantage of genuinely open societi

Funny thing, one of my favorite odd jobs in college was being a vote counter for AP. Most of the vote counters would need to call the election centers over the phone and ask for results. Then they would input the results into a database sys

When I was ~14 I downloaded Freenet after finding it on Stumbleupon. After wondering why my laptop was loosing RAM for a few months, I realized I had been running a node continuously. Great to see it's still alive though.

Do you really find Java backends to be that great? I don't think they're intrinsically bad, and Kotlin or Groovy can be nice, but I've always found the community and lack of open source tools to be wanting. I've found my

Yes! That's a good point Docker is another technology that is sort of ridiculous from this perspective. Deploying an entire OS just to make dealing with dependencies easier

It's funny I think I remember explicitly reading this argument somewhere, that startups need to meet headcount as a metric for VC funding so they will end up picking "worse" tech for that reason.
