- algestenor being... punkted?
- WebSockets over TCP is probably always going to cause problems for streaming media.
WebRTC over UDP is one choice for lossy situations. Media over Quic might be another (is the future here?), and it might be more enterprise firewall friendly since HTTP3 is over Quic.
- I wouldn't define it as Sans-IO if you take an IO argument and block/wait on reading/writing, whether that be via threads or an event loop.
Sans-IO the IO is _outside_ completely. No read/write at all.

Seems to me this is a problem.
- Ok, pipelining as in using the fact that the socket is bidirectional, so you queue up the next request before the previous response has arrived?
Sounds a bit dodgy, since any response could potentially contain a Connection: Close. Maybe ok for some scenarios with idempotent methods.
- I assume with HTTP/1.1 this would be less useful, since each synchronized request would require another socket, thus hitting potential firewalls limiting SYN/SYN-ACK rate and/or concurrent connections from the same IP.
In some respects this is abusing the exact reason we got HTTP/3 to replace HTTP/2 – it's a deliberate Head-of-Line (HoL) blocking.
- One thing I toyed with, but didn't get very far, was to encode the HTTP/1.1 protocol as a Sans-IO state machine with .await points for the IO, but rather than the IO registering Wakers with an async runtime, it relinquished control back to the user to perform the IO manually. One can think of it as .await releasing "up" instead of "down".
In the context of HTTP/1.1 the async code became a kind of "blueprint" for how the user wants the call to behave. At the time I was dead set on making it work for no_std (non allocator) environment, and I gave up because I couldn't find a way around how to need dynamic dispatch via Box<dyn X> (needing an allocator).
- In fact, not being able to do some of these things might improve privacy.
- Yeah. It's going to be great. Selected experts are saying so.
- I think the important thing is that the semantic index tracks all you do through all your apps.
- "Semantic Index" sure is a better name than "Recall". Question is whether I can exfiltrate all my personal data in seconds?
- The article says "the government has called the bill “fundamentally flawed”, but there may be sufficient House support to turn it into binding legislation"
Sounds like Trudeau is not the problem in this instance?
- What are the chances this survives a court challenge?
Story: In a previous life I worked as a consultant in Sweden. My employer had a clause like this in the employment agreement. I quit and joined a company that technically was a client. My previous employer tried to make a legal thing out of it saying I owed them money, but backed down with a sternly worded letter from my lawyer.
My lawyer roughly told me that "they can't block me from earning a living without offering me the same amount they're trying to deny me to earn". Sounds like a very fair law. Wonder if it's still like that? Was some time ago.
- I've spent lots of time in India. It's good to learn what the mosquito that can carry Dengue looks like. They are smaller and fly much faster and more erratically than a common mosquito – way harder to swat! If they settle down, you can see white stripes on their long legs and body.
If you notice them, you can sometimes figure out why they are congregating, they need blood and standing still water to procreate.
At one place I stayed, next door there was a construction site where the workers also slept bare skinned at the site. That's the only time I caught it. Another place I stayed was also seriously infested, I couldn't sit outside. I went looking and found two barrels of rain water on the roof, full of larvae. I added a small amount of dishwasher liquid to the barrels, which worked. Mosquitos went away in a few days.
- This style of reporting is so irritating. Surrounding facts and statistics in a heart felt drama of suffering and human angle. Of course I feel for Sonja Bingham, but if I'm trying to get my head around the consequences of Harm Reduction, I want facts, statistics clearly laid out with analysis by (named) experts in the field.
- Call me old fashioned, but I prefer it when web pages open in a web browser and don't pretend to be native apps.
- For me the A380 is the most comfortable. I'm slightly scared of flying, and turbulence making the entire plane jump around makes it that much worse. I'm only speculating, but I think it might be the sheer bulk of the A380 making it the smoothest rides I've ever been on.
- To protect myself or my company, what about a pihole (or similar) that rejects any TLS connection attempted with certs signed by these root CA?

- I love the TV show also. It's just so surreal and dark.
