So all that's missing with the decentralized web is a centralized service to aggregate the decentralized streams?

I don't see what is being addressed here other than Twitter didn't make the client be your web server (push vs pull).

Sure the decentralized approach liberates the data. But without critical mass what good is that data?

Maybe the example is just not compelling enough to illustrate the real point here?

Would you mind satisfying my curiosity, what part of your development cycle is hindered by not having 10GbE links on your laptop?

That was as Reddit a comment as they get, but a good one.

The shortened title is simply the result of HN title length limits.

Such as?

An example to illustrate the tools usefulness:

    $ with git
    git> add .
    git> commit -a -m "Commited"
    git> push

Thats correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidirectional_network

Sometimes known as a Data Diode.

I think the best advice in that article is this:

At all times, when someone found something in an area or program I didn't find, I took it as inspiration. Viewing colleagues and friends in bug bounties as competition is purely counter-intuitive as it doesn't really help any parties and leads to even more severe burn out.

So, ignoring the ethical issues, would there actually be some benefit to space travel if, say over the next couple millennia, there was a deliberate gradual increasing of the background radiation levels on earth?

Would that lead to human adaptations that could survive in more radiation hostile environments?

Why does the "complete list of packages" link to here (https://www.stackage.org/lts) instead of hackage?

Is there a general consensus to move beyond hackage? I thought your work on backpack was still ongoing and bridging the usability gap between cabal and stack, no?

Why do they say "approximately 32 crew members"? One would think an accurate head count could be achieved for this ship.

I could be bothered. When you say you have a paper, is that something yet to be published? Or is it just sitting in some dusty corner of the Internet?

What about replacing FROM_SMALLEST_TO_LARGEST with ASCENDING?

This is the same tech Prof. Katabi demoed to President Obama. She demonstrated using the tech to detect pulse rate if I recall correctly.

Here's a link: http://news.mit.edu/2015/president-obama-meets-mit-entrepren...

I'd like a pair of the rose tinted ones.

Maybe they won't even charge for it, just maybe call on you someday - and that day may never come - but maybe, they'll call upon you to do a service for them. But until that day, you can just accept their justice as a gift.

Hopefully this forces all UCB faculty to begin to use GPG for all email communication; then that in turn requires all the faculty contacts to use GPG; finally the GPG virus spreads nationwide due to this one selfish act!

I find it amazing there is enough disposable cash to go around so that there is such a market for rare antiquities. I would presume these are not purchased by museums or institutions but by private collectors. I guess I still marvel at the vastness of some fortunes.

Naturally there is a Dover book that covers this topic too:

Always fun to see this type of thing implemented in Haskell.

Here are some other examples.

This one uses indexed monads to keep the instruction stream correct:

And this one is very similar to the OP but from 2013, and emits 6502 assembly: http://wall.org/~lewis/2013/10/15/asm-monad.html (of course without the JIT portion).

What is really cool about this approach is that, unlike the counterpart design patterns you might find in an imperative OO language such as the Interpreter and Command patterns, within the strong-statically-typed functional languages we can rely on the guarantees the type system gives us for abstractions such as the Free Applicative to allow for optimizations that would be merely convention in a less type-enforcing type system.

Yeah. iPhone on a train is not an ideal way to have an Internet argument.

My point was it complicates the business model of selling software artifacts since the GPL does not prevent downstream dissemination of the source so long as the GPL is not violated. So the fairly common business of selling a binary blob of functionality that ceases to legally be useful after the license expires falls down with GPL licensed software.

I suppose one might argue the GPL holds hostage a commercial software ecosystem that favors software sellers over software buyers. But well that's really the point.

And I think that's what angers people. It's certainly the impetus behind Open Source.

No it's just his same argument as ever. The GPL specifically addresses RMS' issues of software freedom. Choosing a different license ignores the topic of software freedom as defined by the FSF. That's all he is saying.

Look the GPL is a hard choice. It is very unfriendly to a developer who is looking to make a living on their code, since it makes selling that code as an artifact. It's not impossible but much more complex than if you just have a EULA.

That said if you remove that difficulty you neuter the GPL and weaken the point of software freedom.

I get why RMS pisses people off. He doesn't keep arguing for using the GPL to be an asshole, but because he thinks software users are more important than software developers. Perhaps most developers feel differently?

RMS' use of "free" is very well defined in terms of software (see: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html). You are arguing his definition of free, but that isn't up for debate here. RMS may be pedantic, but I'd disagree that makes him an asshole.

I don't really see your complaint here. He did build A self-driving car, not THE self-driving car. Its an impressive hack as you noted, maybe it can turn into something bigger with more time and energy. So what is the point of shouting this down with an "ITS INCOMPLETE", it wasn't as if this is a KickStarter promotion or even a product. Geez. Get back to hacking.

Mind reporting if you still obtain your Internet uplink from the same provider as your cable? Did you just ditch the TV service or drop the provider entirely?

SWIM is the gossip protocol that HashiCorp uses in Serf: https://serfdom.io

More like it allows you to accelerate with a pedal on the floor rather than by pulling a string attached directly to the throttle. No loss of flexibility, but you put some trust in the vehicle that you would otherwise have to manage yourself.

This is a nice set of links. I've been building a set of Mesos frameworks lately, and having tools to see the shape of the distributed work would be wonderful. Definitely some ideas here to copy!
