This is all fine and dandy for websites but what we’ve really been locked out of is email.

You can’t run your own email server. All other large email providers will consider your self hosted emails as spam by default. It understandable why they took this stance (due to actual spam) but it is also awfully convenient it also increases their market power.

We are now at the whim of large corps even if we get a custom domain with them.

This is the answer. I don’t know what is the best practise but for windows the easiest solution is to put the DLL in the same directory as the exe

CarPlay needs to get battery level

What about the fraud protection offered by credit cards?

So you want to go back to mailing list and run your own email server?

If only we could make something like that

But now we would need each script to independently do their own caching, which isn’t all bad. At least you have more cross runner compatibility and resilience

Another way to solve this is how Linux organizes. Tree structure where lower branches vet patches and forward them up when ready

I always liked C. I enjoyed how brutal it is, except the preprocessor.

This is why zig is a godsend. It is actually simpler than C while being more precise than C!

For example zig can distinguish between a pointer to a single element vs a pointer to an array of unknown length. Where as in c abi, it is all T*

When importing a c lib, you can make it more ergonomic to use than c itself.

Being able to easily import c lib is especially important to game dev, as practically all so called c++ libs also export a c header as they know how important it is.

https://github.com/zig-gamedev has a lot of repos of ziggified c libs used in games.

As for the preprocessor, zig comptime is so much better. It’s just more zig that runs at compile time.

Just use sqlite until you can’t.

Then use Postgres until you can’t.

It decodes to binary pdf and there are only so many valid encodings. So this is how I would solve it.

1. Get an open source pdf decoder

2. Decode bytes up to first ambiguous char

3. See if next bits are valid with an 1, if not it’s an l

4. Might need to backtrack if both 1 and l were valid

By being able to quickly try each char in the middle of the decoding process you cut out the start time. This makes it feasible to test all permutations automatically and linearly

Boing vs airbus philosophy

Why do you think that was written with a LLM?

Also 3 years old. Zig has been rewritten in that time

That’s odd zig concurrent got slower

Also, giving up on availability doesnt imply we will be down for a longtime. It’s just some requests might get dropped. As long as the client knows the request was rejected they can try later.

But consistency is a choice we need to make when deciding how to use a database.

By letting databases do its job, you let someone else make a trade off for you

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Code has a minimum complexity to solve the problem

Just let people be.

Would be nice if centralized git platforms shared rerere caches

Ah yes. The c abi, the thing that glues all cross lang function calls.

The human race will go extinct with the c abi still as the defacto standard at this point.

IMO any new system programming lang needs to compete over the quality of their c abi integration.

I still haven’t found a better c abi integration than zig. It can describe c funcs with higher precision than c itself.

As long as you are not nesting it works pretty well.

For anything more complicated, just give up and use html

Prediction markets don’t need a bookie. Each bet has another real person taking the other side.

It’s more like the stock market brokerages. They just take a fee on each trade and don’t need to give you a spread over the stock price

Sometimes. Often the sure fire bets have lower returns than the expected annual stock market returns.

You have to watch out for resolutions are don’t depend on the truth or could be abused.

Examples of markets to avoid are those that a single individual can manipulate. They could take the most profitable side and corrupt the result.

But at least you can make them poorer

How are plugin hybrids considered zero emission?

1. Plastic is cheap

2. Importers of cheap plastic crap are not on the hook of the eventual disposal. So the cost isn’t seen by the consumer at point of purchase but instead indirectly seen in increased taxes for garbage disposal

Go further. Every product must be returned to manufacturer at end of life.

Any items found by garbage program will be collected and returned to manufacturer at cost.

All items sold in country must be identifiable for this purpose. Importers are considered the manufacturers and must retrofit products.

Then we would be getting closer to capturing the total burden to society.

Both c# and swift have first party c abi integration

It’s not either lifar or regular cameras. Use both and combine the information to exceed the humans

If we could eliminate all cheaters down to those willing to spend $1000 per month to cheat, I would consider the war won
