Had a quick look at your doc, and the juries idea does not sound good.

  • Moderation is not something loads of people want to do. Take a look at the list of unmoderated communities: https://programming.dev/u/Vacant - Forcing random users to be involved would likely annoy your users.

  • For certain types of reports, CSAM, gore, etc, you absolutely do not want to share that to random users. If your users are underage, it could be illegal to do that anyway, but sensitive users may not want to be exposed to triggering content.

Maybe you make being in the jury opt-in, but if most don't opt in your back to regular old moderation by the few who have the stomach for it.

If the newbies don't stick around to contribute back, then that doesn't work well. The trans community (at least from an outsiders perspective) seem a lot more close-knit, so it probably works better?

For technical communities, it doesn't seem like the communal support exists to the same degree. Newbies come in, get their answer and leave. :(

It may actually end up stronger, I fixed a friends glasses with superglue, next time she sat on them it broke in a different place.

Superglue is pretty strong stuff.

Rust is close to C++, in that you get a lot of high level constructs to help you. C is very low level, and you can learn the syntax in a weekend, but you'll also have to learn memory management and implement advanced structures (linked lists, etc) yourself.

Memory management isn't too hard, it's mostly remembering who created what, who reads and writes to it, and who is responsible for cleaning up. With some additional comments as you go it's not too hard. Also, depending on what your doing, leaks may be acceptable. A short lived program can leak all it likes, and the OS will clean up for you ibthe end :D

Been a while since I've seen a bluescreen period. 10 and 11, for all their faults, have been pretty stable on that front. Crowdstrike did spoil a very good run.

This isn't a solution to homelessness either though, it's just legalising slavery via company towns and eventually, company scrip, which has been done before, and it doesn't work well for anyone but the company.

Go read how company towns have worked in the past, it always ends in indentured servitude.

He was hooked on it.

The target here is home owners, not trades. The cheapo ozito drill I bought is half the price of a "good" one, and for the homeowner use case is plenty. Spending more on a drill would have been pissing money away.

Definitely, but sandboxes can be escaped, and you can't protect everything via sandbox. Apparently its all cloud anyway, but if it were local and sandboxed, there are still exploits like rowhammer and spectre that may cause further risks.

Its taken years to get browser sandboxes to where they are, and even they get broken every so often.

The simple answer is self-host (or dont host it online at all) if you really care about keeping your data safe. Otherwise, use a provider with a published name and address, and if they leak your data, use the legal system to resolve it.

A while back he said he would stop developing Stardew Valley 1.

Either way, if he releases a sequal, instant buy from myself and my partner. He's learnt our trust, and definitely deserves the money.
