@risottobias@tech.lgbtor like,
if an airport reduces the number of private flights (private jets account for a lot of pollution per capita)
vs small learner planes (or practicing on a private jet)
it's not an outright ban at the airport, just a reduction in volume
a sense of... you have to wait to use this carbon thing, but you don't have to wait to use the renewable one.
however... having less time doing flight hours could be bad... then again there's a copilot seat on the big ones...

@jrefior@hachyderm.ioAmid all the media coverage of layoffs in tech and media, you'd be forgiven for thinking the US economy was going through a period of unusually high layoffs. But it's not. Layoffs are actually down compared to pre-pandemic levels.
About 20 million Americans are fired or laid off each year. What's different here is that the population being laid off is wealthier, whiter, and more male.

@aral@mastodon.ar.alJSDB 5.0.0 published 🎉
• Custom classes must have a `constructor` that accepts a parameter object as its only argument. Constructors are run during deserialisation.
• Custom classes can now safely extend other classes (e.g., `EventEmitter`).
• Properties that begin with an underscore (`_`) are treated as private and ignored.
• Objects with null prototypes are supported. i.e., objects created with `Object.create(null, …)`.

@risottobias@tech.lgbtthere's probably other DHT-like tables besides the standard XOR metric that torrents use.
like, if you're literally doing web-of-trust stuff, small network stuff applies right?
high clustering coefficient, low path length?
so something that's good at getting you a good-enough path length of the local group is probably fine. Doesn't need to be global.
could probably still have the exponential backoff drop. or maybe faster?
distance tables:
direct friends
friend 1 (store all)
friend 3 (store... half?)
friend 7 (store... a quarter? an eighth?)
friend 15 (there's a lot here, store few)
