You benchmark your node/ruby/python software on a fancy Macbook M4 and celebrate 500ms response time.

I benchmark my rust software on a $30 potato computer that may as well have 256MB of RAM and celebrate 800ms response time.

Millionaires and Billionaires · Jens Oliver Meiert

From what we can observe, most people with significant wealth seem to be peculiar in two particular ways: Appearing not wise enough to recognize and know that their wealth means another’s poverty and that that’s actually relevant because ultimately, they can only be truly well if everyone is well, and that they, too, live in a climate catastrophe from which they cannot escape, even if they built themselves the most sophisticated bunker.

Appearing not courageous enough to act to use their fortunes for the greater good and for everyone’s well-being, because they seem so afraid they would not have enough, even though they already have way more than enough (and will keep enough) to live a comfortable and fulfilling life, and to move away from their ways of “making” money, especially when these ways include exploiting and damaging people, animals, or planet, out of the same fear of not having enough, or other fears like not being able to replicate their success or being admired for it.

There’s some superb (and superbly sad) irony here that millionaires and billionaires are in the best
position to be role models, by doing amazing things for the well-being and advancement of mankind (and all species)

Wikipédia perd 8 % de pages vues par les humains en un an et met ça sur le compte de l’IA - Next

Ce serait en grande partie dû à une meilleure détection des crawlers. Aussi, les moteurs de recherche fournissent directement des réponses, en se basant sur le contenu de Wikipédia.

Les crawlers sont plus agressifs et certaines ne respecte pas le robots.txt.

« cela signifie que les gens lisent les connaissances créées par les bénévoles de Wikimedia partout sur Internet, même s'ils ne visitent pas wikipedia.org. Ces connaissances créées par l'homme sont devenues encore plus importantes pour la diffusion d'informations fiables en ligne ».

Il y a en revanche un risque à long-terme

avec moins de visites sur Wikipédia, moins de bénévoles vont développer et enrichir le contenu, et moins de donateurs individuels vont soutenir ce travail ».

A Secret Web

Outside the grasp of social media nad the commercial web sits a broad community of people with personal websites and blogs. [...] The community has received many names:

  • The Small Web contrasts this community with the “Big Web”, valuing personal ownership over scale.
  • The IndieWeb also values personal ownership of websites, providing numerous technical standards and proposals to help facilitate interaction between different people’s blogs.
  • Web 1.0 rejects the hype of “Web 2.0” apps, using simple, straightforward technologies to build websites.
  • The Blogosphere is an old term that’s been around since 1999, referencing the community of bloggers.
  • The Web Revival is the concept shared by many that this community has been growing and making a comeback.

This web relies on the hyperlinks.

There is the classic web Discovery with Blogrolls, Webrings and Feeds.

and search engines that are wonderful tools to find a specific thing, but they shouldn't be the only discovery tool, because they only show a subset of the available information.

That's why Clew highlights the small independent websites "to make discovering what real people think easier". Other search engines are doing this:

  • Marginalia
  • Unobtanium
  • Stract
  • Lieu focus on webrings.
  • Mwmbl - curated by the users.
  • Search My Site crawls user-submitted sites
  • Wiby for websites using older technology, great for use on vintage computers.
  • YaCy - a decentralized search engine
  • PeARS - A search engine that can be run in the browser, without needing a server.
  • Mojeek - an independent search engine

Another idea to bring back a healthier web is to provide blogrolls in the OPML format directly: https://opml.org/blogroll.opml.
Jamesg.blog created the Artemis Link Graph web extension. It lists the web pages authored by people you follow that link to the page you are viewing.

All of these has one limitation: much of the independent web today is made up of people with similar interests, in technology in particular.

Behind the Scenes of Pingoo: Slashing Rust allocations with mimalloc and heapless to build the fastest reverse proxy

The heap is a performance killer in Rust. One woraround is to swap to a more efficient memory allocator such as jemalloc.

In Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
mimalloc = "0.1"

In main.rs:

#[global_allocator]
static GLOBAL: mimalloc::MiMalloc = mimalloc::MiMalloc;

The best performance optimisation is to avoid the heap. There is the heapless create for that. "The only thing to know is that the size of heapless types and collections needs to be known at compile-time."

Entre la Suisse et la France, les “exilés de la classe moyenne”

le Conseil d’État genevois ne veut plus des élèves frontaliers dans les écoles du canton.

Ils sont plus de 30 000 à avoir quitté le canton pour emménager dans l’Ain ou la Haute-Savoie, le “Genevois français”.

Le RGPD est impraticable puisqu'il faut identifier tous les sites qui détiennent des données personnelles, trouver leur formulaire de suppression, envoyer une demande conforme, relancer s'ils ne répondent pas et recommencer tous les 3 à 6 mois, parce qu'ils recollectent les informations.

Incogni gère extactement cela.

Cleanup your lifetime annotations in Rust with Rc and Arc

Lifetime annotations are needed to tell the compiler that we are manipulating some kind of long-lived reference and let it assert that we are not going to screw ourselves

The only downside is that smart pointers, in Rust, are a little bit verbose (but still way less ugly than lifetime annotations). [They add some runtime overhead.]

When to use lifetimes annotations?

When performance really matters or when your code will be used in no_std environments.
