> If multiple teams working on interdependent components can't communicate well enough to keep from stepping on each other's toes, imposing technical barriers probably isn't going to make things better.

But it actually does, and there is a lot of data to prove it. When you have a big project and a bunch of teams, the first thing you build is boundaries / walls. Then you get to defining interfaces between interdependent services. And this frees them up to get hacking on their modules in parallel - without stepping on each others' toes. Communication would have definitely helped, but it is way easier for smaller teams to own and operate their services and try to get a big organization plough through a big mess.

That said, microservices are just one way to solve a problem, and not always the right way. But there is always a place where you would look at the problem, the organization that is tasked to solve it, and it would fit just right in.

Can confirm. Have personally seen this in Patna, Bihar.

They should have charged for this feature. People I know would have paid a bomb for a feature that put hard limits on call duration.

This is just the next step in the evolution of browsers into full fledged operating systems. The Web APIs would become the next POSIX. And we might end up with uni-kernels that would just be running browsers on bare-metal. Want to be stalked, here is your Chrome OS. Want privacy, here is your Firefox OS. (Where did I last hear of these? Hmm...)

Who knows, when all this is over someone might make a browser for this new browser OS.

Gary Bernhardt saw this coming long back. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

Yari in Hindi reads as friendship. I have been going by that so far, and refuse to accept any other meaning.

Migadu is awesome. And way too cheap.

Wouldn't a JMAP bridge like [1] solve the same problems?

Isn't choosing not to participate in politics just another political stand?

And it uses Rust!

Why would an average user want to participate in such a network? The only reasons I can think of are tied to benevolence and altruism of the participants. We saw this being successful in the SETI project. I doubt paying participants would ever be profitable enough for either the operator (why not rent a few machines over cloud) or the participants (training would need power and cpu).

How about tying the training and consumption of the model together. An internet scale tool with a focused goal, like Alexa/Mycroft for speech and intention recognition, that trains a distributed model while pushing improvements back might be more successful in getting adoption.

It most definitely is. But the pace of nuclear development in India slowed to a crawl (no new projects) ever since it started an insurance pool with corporate liability.

It looks like Epic expected this to happen. It could even have been waiting for it.

I don't know why the application developers don't develop their own OS/phones. If this is the only way we can have an open Linux phone, I am all for it.

The title should be changed to say 965kms or 600 miles. 600m reads as 600 meters for rest of the world.

Killer bees are not pestilence. That category is reserved for locust swarms.

A Linux phone is what we need. FirefoxOS was a great initiative from Mozilla, but now it is in the hands of a company I do not trust.

This might go down the wrong way in India. We see a lot of misinformation, propaganda and often messages inciting mob violence floating as tweets. Reporting these tweets does not do anything immediately, if ever it does anything at all.

We used to post a reply linking an article with correct facts and some context. See https://www.altnews.in/

This feature would make this fight a lot harder.

You can check https://www.flipkart.com/ or https://www.myntra.com/. Both belong the the same group. They are fast to load and feel very lite, in spite of being very client heavy.

Run Slack of course.
