This is very good news, thank you!

Is this basically a non-POSIX* FUSE for S3 and/or Redis?

* POSIX implies a whole lot of guarantees, like atomic file renames/moves, that definitely don't seem to be included here.

By default, it starts up exposing the file server on all interfaces, not just localhost, AKA insecure by default.

Such a poor security choice, makes me question the entire project.

I almost hate to ask, but are these makeup or clothing tutorials?

asking ChatGPT gives very interesting results (didn't check accuracy):

> What is the world record for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot

As of my training data, the world record for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot is held by Christof Wandratsch, who completed the swim in 8 hours and 58 minutes on August 25, 2018.

> Swimming isn't on foot

My apologies, you are correct. The English Channel is typically crossed by swimming. The world record for swimming the English Channel is held by Benoît Lecomte, who completed the swim in 8 hours and 1 minute on July 23, 1998.

> That's faster and earlier... what did Christof Wandratsch do that was different

Christof Wandratsch completed a cross-Channel run, covering the distance between England and France on foot. This is a different feat than swimming the Channel, as it involves running across the Channel Tunnel, which connects England and France beneath the seabed.

You're right in one respect; it's the Innovator's Dilemma. It's how monopolies have historically been weakened and eventually destroyed. I don't think we've seen enough actual leadership (aside from simple rent-seeking) from Google, and I'm not even sure the erstwhile thought leaders haven't already left the building and been replaced by people who are more concerned with stock prices and DEI than with actual innovation.

On the other hand, Google is still an incredibly formidable force, and it would be incredibly foolish for any prospective competitor (even in an adjacent field like AI) to ignore them. But, lest you be too freaked out: just remember Google Stadia.

Yeah. We should probably delete all those pages on Wikipedia. Like, all of them. And Google Maps, too. Streetview? Another nightmare waiting to happen.

at least they made that really easy to find and do.

So, basically they're still the gatekeeper and tollbooth operator, but it looks like the opposite. Nicely done, Apple.

I've come to the conclusion that it's simply not possible to fully emulate Go channels in JS/TS. They're too tightly integrated into the rest of the language.

See this talk for some more background (ideally, watch the video). https://go.dev/talks/2012/concurrency.slide#1

Be warned, you will never look at async/await in the same way again.

Close enough to be perhaps impacted by "vaccines" (if used as a generic term) but not "the vaccine", which GP probably was referring to the COVID-19 MRNA vaccines.

Sorting high to low indicates that Apple does charge quite a bit for these (currently $39,239.00 is the most expensive)

ycxrl.com (registered at godaddy with privacy) is the command-and-control domain mentioned in the article, which currently resolves to 192.53.113.52 (Linode). DNS is run through DOMAINCONTROL.COM, which seems to be a nextcloud instance?

Userify lets you import public keys from Github and Gitlab, which is handy.

Really? Easy to steal, definitely not cheap or simple to replace, and usually wouldn't be covered by insurance.

Perhaps these citations will be more to your liking:

There are actually a lot of reasons why a train ticket won't work for many types of trips, but the biggest ones are that you need to carry more than one person which multiplies the price, the train doesn't go where you need to go, or that it's quite inconvenient in that it doesn't leave or arrive when you need to.

Then you also run into this:

“Car chargers are particularly appealing to thieves because they can be sold for up to £200 and they are selling them everywhere – eBay, Facebook, and to dodgy scrap dealers,” says divert.co.uk spokesman Mark Hall. “They can be pretty costly and inconvenient for you to replace, so it’s best to keep it locked away from the crooks.”

It's quite possible that British vehicle owners don't have as many garages (probably synonymous with the ability to easily charge at home) as owners in the US: https://worldofsynonym.com/qa/what-percentage-of-uk-homes-ha...

Even home electric prices are very high now: 34p per kWh:

https://www.nimblefins.co.uk/average-cost-electricity-kwh-uk

Most electric in the UK is green now, and with the continued forced elimination in fossil fuels' for home heating, it's going to keep going up. Of course, being green is literally cold comfort to old age pensioners who can't afford to heat their homes anymore.

> Also, article spins badly trying to conflate charging at DC fast chargers with "charging an EV". In fact most EV charging happens at home at residential rates, not at fast chargers which need to charge a premium to provide high-amperage service to remote locations.

Contrary to your point, the article actually addresses that directly: "The RAC data shows that those charging from a slower home charger are paying just £17.87 for the same 188 miles of range."

> my Model Y in the west coast of the USA (an area much more heavily reliant on long road trips and thus fast charging) has received just 27% of its total energy from superchargers. I'd expect British cars to use them even less.

It's quite possible that British vehicle owners don't have as many garages (probably synonymous with the ability to easily and securely charge at home) as owners on the west coast of the U.S.

What claim does the federal government have to these funds?

And how is this seizure even being contemplated before a trial and conviction? Does the Fourth Amendment not apply to him just because nobody likes him?

It's now owned by VISA. :(

Are there any real alternatives to Stripe?

Obviously Adyen if you're in EU, PayPal/Braintree, etc, but Stripe is really the big kahuna.

What about building your own with Authorize.net? Are there any old-school gateways like that left out there that are still independent?

(can one do payments in the 10-100$ USD range on the blockchain? What if you don't want to go through an exchange?)

Even after the Perl 5 / Perl 6 / Raku debacle? Many developers left after that (Python pulled off the same trick a decade later.. apparently some language teams have very short memories.)

Have a look at Apache 1 (C) or KDE 1 (C++); it'd be interesting to see what you think of those codebases, and they can certainly predate 2001.

That really is amazing. Is it true, even "usually", for most types of code? Both forwards and backwards compatibility.. it's like the holy grail.

More like trillions of lines of code, from probably millions of developers, dating back to the 90's.

"The total code size of Zope 2 and its dependencies has decreased by over 200,000 lines of code as a result." - from the 2013 Zope documentation... how many lines of code was it before then?

Python really burned its bridges. It's shown that it's a toy language now, and demonstrably unfit for any real production-quality projects.

Go is another that strives for backwards compatibility: https://golang.org/doc/go1compat

After seeing the Perl5/6 schism, I was hopeful that the Python devs wouldn't make the same disastrous mistake, but.. the same happened with us with approximately 100k lines of Python 2 code (which we are now in the process of porting to Go and Rust), precisely for this reason.

It's exceedingly difficult to form trust in language developers who are willing to break working, production code in use all over the world for decades over a new unicode type and a few wishlist library items.

Re-learning where a particular feature is hidden in the menus every few years has been an interesting experience.

Microsoft is even implementing (yet another) new UI right now:

https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/7/22565676/microsoft-new-off...

But that doesn't seem to be as useful or relevant advice in this case, because all of these tools (or operating systems) can perform the baseline of the job (creating and sharing documents, etc.)

One might have initially lower resistance than others, but another might have better long-term results and be more efficient.

As an executive, why would you focus on making your factory be more efficient when your executive team's workflow was also inefficient?

In a law firm, the workflow essentially is the factory floor for the product being manufactured.

It may be a difficult question to answer, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked.
