Oh, this is research for building a bigger Gorgon Stare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgon_Stare
$50 on black. No other cost-effective use case. The US government only lets you pollute orbit when you're helping them, like Starlink.

"favored by the NPM package ecosystem"
Huh. My story is that 15 to 20 years ago, as a young programmer, I read some of Stallman's writings and I was convinced that copyleft was the only way to keep free software free.
Copyleft vs permissive seems like a "paradox of intolerance". There's no paradox. You cut down intolerance where you see it.
But then I'm a big skeptic and I'm always willing to believe that everyone else could be wrong. Which is not a great heuristic, except when you're actually right.

It's all just knockoffs of Skype and BitTorrent :)
I'm glad there's a competing Rust and Go implementation now. I like Iroh as a Rust user and having tailcat around doesn't hurt me

So a stronger type system in the boundary between Go and Linux would have caught this?

It is definitely a "Macbook Pro on a wooden table at a coffee shop, owner with tattoos and stylish facial hair" kind of website

It looks like Go is memory safe for single threads and channels, but not for shared memory between threads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language)#Lack...
> Go's internal data structures like interface values, slice headers, hash tables, and string headers are not immune to data races, so type and memory safety can be violated in multithreaded programs that modify shared instances of those types without synchronization.[113][114]

A land value tax would fix this

Today my phone said "Charging slowly" and it wasn't charging at all.
I miss MiniUSB. MiniUSB was always good to me.

Hm. I wonder how many relays I'd need to make a physical MNIST classifier. That'd be dope

An actual utopia would require never-before-seen democratic mandate from people who are currently on the brink of hot civil war
