I've been thinking a lot about recommendations and discovery ('the algorithm", "search", resp.), esp in light of the 230 debate. Imagine decentralized content hosting coming back, but having recommendation and search being 100% decoupled from the content hosts. Bonus if the impls are open source.

The US blockade of Cuba is a moral stain. It's barbaric, illegal, based on lies, and meant to inflict nothing but human suffering. We will be judged for this, in a just world. The people of Cuba are heroic, as are all who help. #cuba

The news of WP's layoffs has me thinking about a terrible, implicit, "deal" that the public has made with commercial news; we are told that the resources they have are irreplaceable, and that whatever editorial decisions they make, we need them. We need to revisit this bargain. youtu.be/-T1EHl49pt4

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

It's not often, if ever, that the U.S. Director of National Intelligence goes for an FBI ride-along on a raid to a state election office. Are they getting ready for a foreign interference play for this year's midterm? 🤔

Re youtu.be/Sn53Yjt9_gU?... There is no "sane immigration reform", bc there is no immigration crisis. People lacking paperwork are not criminals, cannot be picked up at any time of the day or night, and no one is illegal. It's not about "citizens", it's about human beings @governorwalz.mn.gov

The Minnesota National Guard is being deployed, facing the wrong direction, according to reports. It should be deployed by the Governor Walz to protect people from DHS. It's a mistake to use them for crowd control, the violence is coming from the federal gov. #ice #Minneapolis @governorwalz.mn.gov

I don't feel great about #rustlang requirements in #debian. The Rust Foundation/Community would then be in the position of determining which devices can use Debians and offspring. It would be one thing if the support matrix matched Debian's, but it doesn't; so strictly, it reduces the # of platform

Hot take: #Haskell would be dominant, if not for its broken dependency management and library distribution. It might be a reason that #Rust is ascendant. (I am so interested in new idioms, with functional safety, simplicity, and parallelism, in the future of Rust. Nearly all the pieces are there...

@rust-lang.org @rustfoundation.org It is good that so many engineers and scientists are aware of the social implications of our labor. However, one glaring contradiction is the community's dependence on GitHub infrastructure. Rust needs need get off asap, and ideally, onto libre servers.

Totally unrelated to a lkml item, Rust's styling tool rules for import statements has to change, as it makes trivial merge conflicts too hard to solve: doc.rust-lang.org/beta/style-g... ie, Rust needs to drop the "as few lines as possible rule", and prefer one module per line. #rustlang
