It would be extremely naive to assume Elon, or even a real human had a hand in this. The whole analytics pipeline is very likely vibecoded and never reviewed by a human.
Of all the quirks with process spawning in posix keeping file descriptors open is the most problematic one I encountered. This bit into my ass while implementing a C library to have proper process spawning and stdio handling in LUA. I really wish file descriptors were non inheritable by default.
Look up stalinist architecture if you think communists can’t build beautiful buildings. For peak capitalism, look no further than Art Deco. My point is that this is a difference between pre-war and post-war construction and is seen in all regions, across all political ideologies and economic systems. The ugly communist buildings you speak of were born out of necessity, due to chronic shortage of housing, a rise in fertility and urbanisation on a scale never seen before, much the same way as the urban catastrophe that is suburbs in the US.
I would wonder what would happen whenever I was frustrated and now I know, thanks. I'll look for a new intrusive thought to have as a coping mechanism.
How did they take it down the domain last time? Was it by picking on the registrar?
In my country they so this by asking all the ISPs to block the domain from their DNS servers. This works for 90% of the population, but all you have to do is just change the DNS server to something other than what the ISP gives you and you’re good to go.
Also, I just don’t get how current approach is any better. As far as I understand, there’s still a single point of failure, i.e. the site you get your “personal” domain from.
Yeah, but someone in your home
might have a rogue phone app installed (or not even that, I bet companies like Xiaomi already so this with their smart home stuff) that scans bluetooth devices and sends the addresses so that they can be data mined.
It's a beta firmware - you need to have a community account with "Early Access" feature turned on in order to see the release thread or be able to purchase early access hardware.
Really depends on the type of house you live in. Typical heating costs for 50m^2 apartments in “Khrushchevka” type buildings (probably the dominant housing situation across most post soviet states) should be around 50 Euros per month this heating season in Lithuania. Average state pension is around 400 euros, so on average, heating should be 12.5% of that.
Question from a layman: how will the energy from a fusion reactor be extracted and converted into electrical energy? As far as I understand, the plasma inside a tokamak is isolated from the surroundings by the use of very powerful magnets. I assume in a reactor that is supposed to generate electricity there would be some interface between the plasma and some kind of heat exchanger that would generate steam and turn gas turbines?
