I had to read the overview and it looks nice. It reads like IPFS without some of the challenging cruft. Well written!

IPFS seemingly works small scale but not large scale. What makes tenfingers handle millions of files and petabytes of data better than IPFS? Perhaps that is not the goal. In what way do you think the tech scales? Why will discovery of the node which has the data be short?

I want to ask for benchmarks but you can’t do a full benchmark without loads of resources.

I’m not actively looking but please do share references! Other people may read this and they may want to know too. Perhaps I’ll jump back in the rabbit hole at some point too 😁

Exactly. The Semantic Web is broader than Solid but Solid is great for personal apps.

Say you buy a smartphone. The specifications of the smartphone likely belong elsewhere than in a Solid Personal Online Datastore, but they can be pulled in from semantic data on the product website. Your own proof of purchase is a great candidate for a Solid POD, as is the trace of any repairs made to it.

These technologies are great to cross the barriers between applications. If we’d embrace this, it would be trivial to find the screen protector matching your exact smartphone because we’d have an identifier to discover its type and specifications. Heck, any product search would be easier if you could combine sources and compare with what you already have.

The sharing tech exists. Building apps works also. Interpreting the information without building a dedicated interface seems lacking for laymen.

IPFS would replace Content Delivery Networks in present day.

It would also allow you to host software and other content from your own network again without the constraints modern Internet Service Providers pose on you to limit your self-hosting capabilities.

If applications are built for it, it could serve as live storage for your applications too.

We ran ipf-search. In one of the experiments we could show that a distributed search index on ipfs-search, accessible through JavaScript is likely feasible with the necessary research. Parts of the index would automatically be hosted by clients who used the index thus creating a fairly resilient system.

Too bad IPFS couldn’t get over the technical hurdles of limiting connection setup time. We could get a fast (ElasticSearch based) index running and hosted over common web technologies, but fetching content from IPFS directly was generally rather slow.

The semantic web and social linked data. We could have applications share data without depending on big tech, but rather based on application standards.

It can be used today and gains traction but I wouldn’t mind it going faster. Especially the interoperable personal app space could use some love and attention.

Belgian here. It’s about money and racism. Flanders (north) makes more money and has a higher employment rate. The separatist movement aims to put Flanders’ wealth first.

Foreigners are perceived to threaten our way of life and are perceived to cost money too. Vlaams Belang has been rather controversial in their statements earlier with a new young team creating some uproar. Both claim to benefit the Flemish citizen and will create better jobs with higher incomes.

Far left also gained ground so we are becoming more polarised.

I’m not a legal expert, but this talks about “inability to fulfill a contractual obligation” rather than the refusal to do so.

I assume the problem is slightly different and it is mainly a problem of not being able to go after the money (perhaps at reasonable cost) if the travelers have it?

Mercedes’s stars have been on springs for decades indeed. You can easily push them over (but make sure you put it back nicely). I think Rolls Royce’s Spirit of Ecstasy pops back into the hood but I don’t know how that works on impact.

https://github.com/mu-semtech/sparql-parser contains an EBNF parser for SPARQL, an LL(1) language. You might be able to borrow code, not sure how well it translates to scheme. GitHub asked me to log in to see the gist so I’d have to have a peek later.

sparql-ast folder contains the relevant bits regarding the parsing.

Nice script. What is the reason to toggle the brightness?

The writing style and positive fighting spirit of https://lemmy.world/comment/3597938 is great. Would read a book of this person.

Kubernetetes is crazy complex when comparing to docker-compose. It is built to solve scaling problems us self-hosters don’t have.

First learn a few docker commands, set some environment variables, mount some volumes, publish a port. Then learn docker-compose.

Tutorials are plenty, if those from docker.com still exist they’re likely still sufficient.

Emacs: “What if your Operating System and your text editor had a child.”

Agree.

I found it more tempting to accept the initial answers I got from GPT4 (and derivatives) because they are so well written. I know there are more like me.

With the advent of working LLMs, reference manuals should gain importance too. I check them more often than before because LLMs have forced me to. Could be very positive.

Perplexity.ai has been my go to for this reason.

It often brings up bad solutions to a problem and checking the sources it references shows it regulary misses the gist of these sources.

There sources it selects are often not the ones I end up using. They are starting point, but not the best starting point.

What it is good for is for finding content when I don’t know the terminology of the domain. It is a starting point ready to lead me astray with exquisitely written content.

Find trustworthy sources and use them.

Do you fact-check the answers?

Be honest. Say you don’t have references so that you intend to prove yourself from day one.

Most hiring we do is based on what we can find publicly and how the conversation goes. If you have more to show, that helps. We hire (developers) based on code and gut-feeling. We don’t do the roles you are looking for but if you have been looking for a longer time already, open an issue on an open source reository you care about and ask how you can help sort out tickets and ask follow-up questions.

Companies search for value (often money, but smaller copanies tend to search broader). For customer support I expect that to mean “low monetary investment (including training), high output”. Perhaps they need some flexible additional support. Ask them what they need, see if you can offer that, explain/convince how you will bring offer that and ask if they see improvements to the plan.

PS: also what andrewgross said. Customers count, friends can count. And having ran a business that worked is a great reference to show you do what is necessary.

The Dacia Spring fits the bill out of necessity (price). It is not fast, it has low range, uses cheap materials and it is rather small.

But I don’t think it can spy on you and it’s charming through its simple honesty.
