How essential are certifications in this field? Can I pursue a career without them or with only a few to kick-start my early career?

It depends what kind of company you want to work for. Most 'real companies' barely care about your diplomas or certificates. If you want to work from some consultancy company like SAP or Capgemini these certifications check checkboxes you need to have checked to get promotions

O(n)? More Like Oh(No)

Right.. well clearly I have clicked all the links, and read all the things, and I still don't understand it. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

So assume in good faith, assume I have absolutely no idea what the problem even is due of my own stupidity. So ELI5 and give a synopsis of the problem.

Did you stop reading or are you intentionally trying to phrase it as if the universities won’t do anything? [...]
It doesn’t seem like you’re even trying to make a good faith argument.

My first sentence and first 4 words are "So what’s stopping them?". So did you stop reading before that - or what are you even arguing about, and where is your 'good faith'? You're arguing about meta-nonsense without answering

What’s stopping them? What do they even need from "federation" or "ActivityPub" to just build this?

Hmm, I'm thinking - We should place a bunch properties and just name them something like "${username}" - "${password}" and variations of that, and see we can "find/replace" cross-site script them into sending their bots details

So what's stopping them? Universities have internship programs and internal projects. In a university team of 4 people doing projects, 63x4 252 students could be assigned to a project to build this.

But

The french open science committee (CoSO) is indeed interested in the ActivityPub implementation in GitLab

Good phrasing. They are "interested in the ActivityPub implementation" not "interested in the implementing ActivityPub" - so who gives a shit what a bunch of universities are interested in

Pretty cool to show that sample size matters a lot during testing...

Sample size = 10: "There's 20% 8! WTF, should be 10%"
Sample size = 10k+: "Oh wait nevermind"

base63? I'd guess you'd mean base64?

Anyways, doesn't that fuck with performance?

I'm using this in production: RT.Comb - That still generates GUIDs, but generates them sequential over time. Gives you both the benefits of sequential ids, and also the benefits of sequential keys. I haven't had any issues or collisions with that

Yea, should have been V-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000008 instead

Before clicking the link and reading the article I was thinking.. "Why would you put 'Eclipse' in the name? Don't they know that like 10 years ago there used to be this horrible IDE for Java called Eclipse?"

Then opening the link...

Some seven years in the making, the Eclipse Foundation's Theia IDE project is now generally available
