kevinastone · 2 months ago

This was in response to MinIO/AIStor removing the browser-console UI from the community offering (locking it behind enterprise licensing) a few months back.

Unfortunately, this fork has not developed any traction. It's last commit was 4 months ago basically after the initial fork and instantly became dormant.

You can see the list of 'Still alive?' issues: https://github.com/OpenMaxIO/openmaxio-object-browser/issues...

I think the question, certainly the question I have - is, what are some use cases outside of "crypto" and the CT log ?

kevinastone · 2 months ago

Git and other vcs are generally built on merkle-trees for consistent hashing.

There's a list of other common hashing cases on the Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree#Uses

Fwiw zed also has this explicit "sublime style" save all buffers since 3-4 months ago.

It doesn’t save unnamed files which is mostly how I use this feature in sublime-text (as a scratch pad): https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4985

Apparently the smallest a neutron star could theoretically be is 0.1 - 0.2 Solar masses. [0]

And then 1.4 Solar masses is the upper limit. [1]

kevinastone · a year ago

The Chandrasekhar limit is the maximum size of a white-dwarf, not a neutron star. It's usually defined as the minimum size of a neutron star (since it has to overcome electron-degeneracy pressure). The TOV limit[0] is the maximum size of a neutron star.

Thanks - we've changed the URL to the article they link to about that.

Submitted URL was https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2022/12/30/review-of-2022/, which is a list, and that item looks like the most interesting thing on this list. (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... for why we do this sometimes)

It probably then deserves a `(2022)` since that announcement was just over a year ago.

jonplackett · 5 years ago

What does that mean?

kevinastone · 5 years ago

It's a satirical comment on Tesla's meteoric stock price growth. The traditional quote is "Buy the rumor, sell the news"[0]. But with $TSLA, there's been nearly unbounded investor optimism.
