IMHO the differentiator is deeper yet everywhere engrained in OTP/Behaviours and the famous "Let it crash" slogan. It is the OS-Style process and resource isolation. That is someth…

Hm, taking 2 hours on my M1 MacBook Air 16GB and it's clearly swapping. Are you using model v1.4? Or any other memory optimization that you applied?

I've been using https://remotedesktop.google.com/ for quite some time now with both Linux and MacOS because it provides the best latencies. Anyone knows what protocols it's using? …

There is something fundamentally flawed in the maintenance cost of the Deutsche Bahn. According to the Deutschen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW) it's costing the Deutsche …

Anyone having experience with contabo.com? I've got a couple of VPS there and so far pretty happy but didn't yet have any more involved interaction with the team or support to full…

From this response it's not quite clear to me: So this identity collision is against their Curve25519 implementation? Does this mean the attacker has effectively found a new brute …

AS or just artificial stupidity I've heard a couple of times. It's quite mind boggling if you think about how many people had to engineer tensors and train networks for months if n…

Would love to discuss this over drinks. For me it's the opposite. It's feels pretty natural to me to imagine that intelligence and (perceived) free will are emergent properties. Bu…

I can't help but to see this two ways at the same time. 1st this is totally what we should think and do in terms of moral standard and 2nd this in international law is the perfect …

There is also still wxWidgets https://www.wxwidgets.org/ Not modern c++ last time I checked but active development for sure.

What's the maximum traction that an electromagnet can cause? Is a thermonuclear powered super- in orbit thinkable? At least most human produced space garbage is magnetic I assume? …

Would love to learn how this works behind the scenes. Are Chinese officials giving the Studio a deadline for this kind apology? Or is this proactive self-censorship triggered solel…

Nice benchmark, but I think the results tell us more about the grpc+protobuf+http2 libraries in use than the languages. It's quite amazing though to see such a highly optimized Jav…

Richard Stallmann has an interesting piece on FLOSS and FOSS definition, containing this: > A researcher studying practices and methods used by developers in the free software comm…

A definitive reference would be great, for me the "tried in the past" quote has always been a pointer to the Java VM. Which has great benefits of it's own but always had the proble…

I'm curious about this argument. Haven't heard the "tiger states" growth attributed solely to US policies. Any links/pointers to those advantages that were granted these states but…

Yeah we're hoping to be packaged soon. In the meantime the safest way to install the diode cli is to clone the repo http://github.com/diodechain/diode_client and build it yourself.…

Yeah, definitely. Today you have to setup two instances at different locations yourself for backup. That has the advantage that you have full control, but it can be tedious. We wou…

Syncthing is pretty great and for us an inspiration technically, but we also believe it's too difficult for the non-technical population. But we're targeting a reduced easy to use …

Absolutely! Both items actually have come up during our alpha and we're going to add them. Roadmap is not up-to-date but we have started collecting feedback and feature requests he…

We're using the blockchain to register unique usernames, drive addresses and store drive memberships (public keys) so there is no central database required to keep the system up an…

You're using the Diode CLI clients, it gives direct and raw access to the relay network. If you want to try "Diode Drive" you've to get the download link above that.

Hey, cofounder here, thanks for the interest. We just released our beta and I'm happy to answer any questions / take them to improve our site/docs. Here a couple of answers on ques…

But why do strlen() at all? And why are all platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS) seemingly doing that? I think you're right that there is no upper bound but it shouldn't be necessary …
