In my experience from the couple of times I clicked an IPFS link years ago, it loaded for a long time and never actually loaded anything, failing the first "I wish we could serve static content" part.
If you make it possible for people to donate bandwidth you might just discover no one wants to.
I think that many are able to toss a almost permanently online raspberry pi in their homes and that's probably enough for sustaining a decently good distributed CAS network that shares small text files.
The wanting to is in my mind harder. How do you convince people that having the network is valuable enough? It's easy to compare it with the web backed by few feuds that offer for the most part really good performance, availability and somewhat good discovery.
That remaining 1% are then actually the most advanced species, since they can continue their billion year existence through a blip of a couple thousand years when the environment became a bit more radioactive. We're so fragile that we're effectively biologically unstable, they're so advanced that they don't even need to know what happened.
Would've made more sense to add a grey "Edited" to edited releases. Releases are not actually immutable, GitHub could change them. I don't know why you need to use sciency words to say "editing disabled".
They are immutable! The releases are signed with an attestation from a trusted third party that Github can't forge! Also these attestations are public and anyone can verify that the signing third party isn't misbehaving.
> Release attestations let you verify that an artifact is authentic and unchanged, even outside GitHub. Attestations use the Sigstore bundle format, so you can easily verify releases and assets using the GitHub CLI or integrate with any Sigstore-compatible tooling to automate policy enforcement in your CI/CD pipelines. For instructions on how to verify the integrity of a release, see our docs on verifying the integrity of a release.
They are using Sigstore, which is pretty standard in this space.
Dog breeds are not real animals, they're some sort of half-artificial thing created by imperfectly writing some people's desire into another species's genetic code.
If you make an artificial thing that really wants to do some specific thing, like a computer endlessly printing "hello world" millions of times a second, it's not surprising to see it do the thing it was created to do. I wouldn't say the computer "wants" to print hello world, so I don't see the dog as doing what it truly wants to do if it's a genetic predisposition human breeders forced into it. I see the expression of a society of dog breeders and people's idea of a game called "fetch" which was relatively easy to transition a species towards step-by-step using artificial selection.
Regardless of their provenance, they are in fact real animals. They just aren't wild animals.
Artificial does not preclude real. You can make the same judgement about just about anything selected for anything- Such as strange hairless apes artificially selected planning and building and strategy.
Dogs were domesticated by sort of not letting them grow up. We selected for the ones that retained puppy features into adulthood. They don't loose big eyes, hanging ears, retained playful/less aggressive behavior that is better for living with siblings.
Perhaps the obsession with fetching came with that?
Yeah, it's a well know theory, Rutger Bregman in "Humankind: A Hopeful History" goes into it. We cultivated ourselves. Stopping ourselves from becoming full blown individualistic apes. (Incoming jokes on how it didn't work for some on the opposite political spectrum...)
I wish there were less programming languages because every library needs to be rewritten as many times as there are languages, a combinatorial waste of time.
Now that CoffeeScript is gone I would like to see all Ruby become Python.
You usually just need to replace the front or back glass, which is $30 with Apple Care or $60 for both, not the entire iPhone. I crack mine about once a year.
How do you replace just the glass with AppleCare? They always tell you it’s a full phone replace if the glass is broken, unless it’s changed recently (which would be welcome).
