Anybody would be able to make their own JVM, thought (they might need to call it the ECMA Virtual Machine). And seeing how the WHATGC works, I don't think they might be able to keep any sort of control.

JPEGXL is a single format, but when converting from other formats you can do it lossless or lossy, and optionally make it progressive.

The EU has their own Mastodon instance, but unless you want to have responses (even if the official instance doesn't show them), it's cheaper to run a static news aggregator. It would be nice, but it seems most people…
He isn't. He has a bachelor in economics and physics.
We're just reinventing moderated Usenet newsgroups.
People seemed to like it being stuck in the 1980s.
RCS is an international standard. Google only adds their client (and running the service if your mobile provider doesn't). Don't know what EU apps are you talking about, but yes, mobile apps need Google services. Web…
Very interesting, thanks. I like they even admit their own bias, that the main reason was that they didn't want another's protocol; except for the word alignment, all the other issues are solvable.

Apparently it's from 1901 (Murray code) or 1932 (ITA2). The fact that both Apple's and CP/M codes came out roughly at the same time, both on microcomputers, shows that it was probably just a design decision.
The thread talked about sum types, which apparently appeared on ALGOL; although I don't know how much memory did an ALGOL compiler need.
You could start the encoding with two bytes, so that if the most significant bit of the first byte is 0, the length is that byte plus another. That gives you 32KiB strings with just a byte more. Short strings might…
Borland's PASCAL did it on the IBM PC. And which modern C compiler fits into 64KB? Even TCC needs 100KB. But that's beside the point. No machine of the last 36 (I'll push my chances, 40) years needs to fit a compiler in…
LF makes the most sense, but they're all fine for text files. The issue is that CSV isn't text. Last time I had to handle CSV files in bash, I converted them internally to RS and FS.
I also started going down this rabbit hole when I wanted my homelab to just work in any device, and for advanced use cases Let's Encrypt isn't enough. I tried long and hard to get a sub-CA certificate, but apparently…
Unfortunately the CA/B Forum has high requirements for constrained subordinate CA certificates[1], which to me sounds a lot like regulatory capture. [1] https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/sub-ca-with-wildcard-cer...
And if they don't, DNS is already a database. You could just query domains to check their certificates. People running recursive DNS servers could double-check certificates.
I'm the first to admit ICANN has issues, but US government control doesn't seem to be one of them.
You obviously don't know how DNSSEC works. The DNS root of trust is ICANN, not a government.

It's funny to see that the issues with X.509 certificates, are being solved by what X.509 was intended to be used for: a directory system. It's DNS instead of X.500, but it's a start.
