Our zoning regulations enforce the automobile's hegemony, increasing distances and exposing pedestrians to the elements as well as dangerous traffic.

Without being forced to build in this financially insolvent manner, [1] no community would choose to isolate people from each other in the way that we do now in the United States.

Our neighboring country, Mexico, (among many others) shows that a costly design is not required for urban and suburban environments to work for humans.

The impending arrival self-driving car gives hope that the gigantic proportion of land devoted to car storage can be radically reduced, giving space for more buildings and habitable spaces between the buildings we have already constructed. This is a good sign for the future but we sure took an expensive, circuitous route to get there, all the while losing local power over our communities to industrial interests.

One of the easiest ways to fix this is with lambda functions or callbacks. Each caller passes a lambda function or call back that is the specific case that's unique to the caller.

This. If everyone in the tech industry adopted a "X works and many people use it, so we shouldn't try to make Y work" then you can say goodbye to progress. Specifically, some of us don't want the internet to serve as an interactive billboard, where our interactions with billboards are monitored. 99% of users probably don't care but being part of the next generation of software engineers I want to build things that influences people lives more positively than the previous generation of tech. I honestly question the moral integrity of my fellow technologists. There's a massive gap some commenters are missing between looking at the outcome of a model and the technical or conceptual changes it could undergo over time. Just because something has been working for 5/10 years doesn't mean it's the only proven way nor do we need to enforce it as the "proven ©" status quo for everyone else because we're too afraid of technical changes.
And the USGA actually took away the stomach/gut putter.

When optimizing for complexity, this is a reasonable argument. What about optimizing for performance? It might be cheaper to make a network call in one place and have multiple consumers each use the result, even if each of them needs to use the result in slightly different ways.
Oh absolutely, it's a nearly impossible task. You can't even trust current polls asking people if they're likely to vote.
Our products aren't perfect, and we understand that we have a lot of work to do.

However, the fundamental purpose of our products is to allow people to efficiently communicate with each other. Hard for me to square that with "drain on society." I have many friends who, via Facebook, found a connection that was life changing: from finding a job, a spouse, to a community to deal with the loss of a loved one or support after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

One of the things that draws AI researchers to come work at Facebook is the opportunity to see their work make a positive impact on billions of people around the world.

The research done by FAIR is helping us do things like deliver billions of translations a day, provide automatic photo captions for people who are visually impaired, and help bring blood donors and people in need together. It also helps us spot when someone is expressing thoughts about self-harm so we can alert first responders.

But we also believe there's even more we can do to help bring the world closer together, to give people a voice, and to open up new opportunities for everyone. AI is a key part of that and we believe pretty deeply in the power of open research to help not just us but the whole industry.
Suburbs are designed for automobiles to move humans between places, not for humans to move themselves.

There is no choice but to build cities in this car-dependent way. Cities are forced to do so by our legal system that has been influenced by the automobile manufacturers and other industries.

Instead of me digging up some citations, just go watch Roger Rabbit. This has been the story for many years.

> Why is the basic assumption that a corporation whose goal is to connect people should be responsible for what those connected people share with each other?

Their goal isn't to connect people. That sounds like something Zuckerberg would say. Their goal is to make money from their users data.

Facebook is responsible because they have algorithms which show and hide items in the news feed. If they merely showed what was posted without any sophisticated algorithms I think they could claim some innocence.

Facebook doesn't care about freedom. They care about not pissing off their conservative user base and losing them to other sites, like Gab, or perhaps Chinese clones that Zuckerberg is worried about.
Radiation from mobile phones can affect your memory
Criticising a technology for it's tech is one thing. Claiming that "X won't work because Y always works" casually but authoritatively isn't really criticism. And you can see a lot of people here getting upset over casual but massive sweeping statements like that without backup.

In golf this makes sense as it is far easier to replace your clubs than make a new course.
About half way through I realized this was true of mythology.
Tech journalism, especially in mainstream publications, has gotten notably worse in the past few decades. A lot of times it reads more like an advertisement than actual journalism, with journalists doing little research of their own (See articles covering solar roadways, and other infeasible ideas).

It might just be nostalgia goggles but I remember magazines like Popular Mechanics and Wired going into intricate detail whenever they reviewed or covered a product. Graphics and charts explaining how exactly things worked, instead of just regurgitating the company's "about" page.
I humbly disagree, but very much appreciate you taking the time to critique, whatsstolat! Please allow me to present a counter argument for you to consider...

In my opinion, ledger entries are the hardest part of accounting. Invoices, etc, are all supersets of double-entry accounting, and can be reduced to collections of entries if the underlying double-entry system is sufficiently robust, generic, and and capable.

Such a system should be able to, for example, recursively sum entire account trees, while transparently translating (instantly) across heterogeneous units of account (e.g. stocks, currencies, cryptos, intangibles), and do all that on any device, on any platform, at any time, anywhere on Earth, on demand.

I know this sounds crazy - Sometimes I think I am crazy! Across the world, between companies, and even within Big4 accounting firms, there are infinite ways of constructing an 'invoice' or a 'credit note'. Everyone has their preferred way, none being right or wrong.

Amatino aims to sit below that level - Allowing developers to create their accounting system their way. No compromises.

Again, I really appreciate you looking, even if you think Amatino isn't a worthwhile project. Pondering this reply was in itself a very valuable exercise for me, so thank you for taking the time to comment!

I love it! The thing I would like to improve is that there as a user I am a bit confused about what it is and how it can provide value to me when I land on the product's page.

* Pricing is hidden.you can only view it when clicking "join" but I do not want to click join until I know that price.

* When I land on the page I see two calls to action ("join" and "login") and no indication of if there is more content. Naturally I'd bounce from the page most of the time.

Good luck!
In my experience people will most likely just hack the shared component by adding awful arbitrary if-statements or other such hacks, rather than fork the shared component. This is the path of least resistance. Once this happens a few times that shared component begins to be seen as a central component and is quite a complicated mess.
> Corporations aren't magic. I have a corporation, its HQ is my home and I pay ~$20 every year to stay registered, it's not like that corporation knows any better than I do. One of my hometown churches publishes a newsletter that's essentially whatever my dad wanted to write. I would expect a lot of niche or local news sources are similar.

We have several agencies that regulate corporations. I would hope that most corporations could follow the laws better than you. That's assuming you aren't a lawyer.
Kara Swisher interviews Mark Zuckerberg

but the article argues against creating the abstraction when the functionality was the same in both places, which I disagree with. To be honest, the whole topic disregards whether the two pieces of functionality are actually doing the same thing in a domain-logic sense or simply a code sense, which is the heart of the issue. If the similarity is coincidental (e.g. validation on two model types temporarily happens to be the same) then the abstraction should not occur. If it is not (e.g. two distinct operations on a model type happen to have an identical subroutine) then the abstraction should occur.
In that case shouldn't Facebook prevent users from sharing any links? If they have the power to use algorithms to show one article more than an other they have the power to influence what is considered truth.
>Content creators simply want a platform for gathering an audience

content creators want to get paid. If all the content creators wanted was a platform to gather an audience, being demonetized wouldn't be the end of the world that they all seem to claim it is.

those ads youtube plays don't just fund youtube, they fund the content creators too. the interests of the platform and the producer are pretty closely aligned there.

That seems more of a function of how popular it is. But I can’t even remember learning git anymore; maybe it is hard to learn.
Always the same. Especially when TomTom satnavs were commonplace and you had to pay for map updates, nobody could ever find your house if you lived in a new area, or if there were new roads in the area. Recently they built a new tunnel here, it took a few months before friends and family stopped complaining about Google leading them wrong. Meanwhile I use OsmAnd and have no trouble anywhere (when driving in western Europe). Or if I forgot to update my map, then I can still figure out my way by looking at the roads tagged as "currently being built" on my version of the map. OSM really is just power to the people.

Just to play devils advocate here, would it be much harder to place people on the ballot counting committees who might incorrectly record it?

I'm not sure I've ever seen a video stream of ballot persons actually counting paper, so it may not be monitored publically

Russia successfully infiltrated the NRA, I'd imagine local ballot groups wouldn't be much harder for a foreign adversary to do
Nature obviously agrees. Look at the structure of the genome with all its gene duplication with minor variation. Copy-paste-hack is one of the primary mechanisms of evolution.

> If the new common dependency is consumed by different projects with different pressures for change / different rates of change / different levels of software quality then factoring out a common idea that then introduces coupling may cause more harm than good.

This reminds me of the recent post on HN about a company migrating from microservices back to a monolith, for this exact reason.
I'd say that all journalism has gotten notably worse in the past few decades. We may just notice it more in tech journalism because we know more about tech.
Yes, and besides they have other tools gaining traction, like F# which I've heard good things about.
Umm, I don't think I agree with you on the idea that decentralization decreases costs for contract distribution.

Distributing content to millions of people requires massive investment.

The total cost would likely INCREASE massively, as my home computer is much worse at acting as a CDN than Google.

Sure, the costs get DISTRIBUTED, to places where maybe you aren't the one paying for it. But SOMEONE is still paying that money. And they are doing much less efficient than a centralized service with thousands of engineers.
And mostly because they can drive when you're not in it. I'd be very curious to see city simulations where people just get off 200m from their job and wave their car goodbye as they can park somewhere else smoothly.
That would be excellent if you had to modify hundreds of machines to influence an election but the case now is that even a few strategically chosen machines could drastically swing an election.
This is strange to me and basically says the engineers are not allowed to compete...

Thanks, appreciate the honest feedback.

What specifically are your concerns with the privacy policy? I'm still learning and happy to change any of it.

The initial version used vanilla JavaScript not minified or transpiled. However I wanted to include some libraries; bulma, axios, vuejs. Chrome won't let you load 3rd party scripts into an extension easily.

So, the extension code is bundled using webpack. This unfortunately obfuscates it, but is much easier for development and deployment. Also made it easier to deploy to Firefox too.

The increase in size is due to the 3rd party libraries and images, though some are not required anymore.

The next release should be much smaller, I just wanted to improve the menu styling.

We grow down in sophistication in tech. Everything goes to the lowest common denominator, then it falls further. The web used to be sophisticated and it was only for nerds.
Dunno, not much happened. Uber came in, broke the law, and went. The law already existed, and the taxi organizations aren't particularly powerful. Note that anybody can start driving taxis here after some mandatory course and exam, there's no bullion system.
While I welcome a teardown of a voting machine I wonder why it's mixed with the conspiracy theory that the Russian state falsified votes. You'd think there are enough interested parties to make the Russian state an unlikely culprit even if evidence of tampering should be discovered.

It’s not cool anymore but I use PHP and MySQL with a $5/mo inmotionhosting account. This is after I decided to not take on the overhead of native with multiple code base and App Store deployments. Good ol’ webapp it is.

However every single day I do wish there was a solution for my webapp to get access to contacts on the phone and of course notifications. It would have been a game changer given the nature of the product. Currently it is a world of compromises for hobby developers (shameless plug: http://ping3.com)
The sound is not the actual sound though? It’s simply an added in ambiance addition?
> We seem to take it very much case by case.

The principle is very consistent: You can't do something that gives you an unfair advantage over other competitors. Everything banned basically falls into one of three categories:

- It would be prohibitively expensive for others to adopt the technology. This is why you have weight minimums for bikes, boats, etc.

- Others would have to risk their health to compete. This is why you have bans of performance enhancing drugs, blood doping, etc.

- Others would have to break the law to compete. This is why you have bans on illegal drugs, even if they're not necessarily performance enhancing.

Occasionally things are also banned to preserve comparability to current records or to preserve the aesthetic sense of the sport, but for the most part when something is banned it's for one of the three enumerated reasons.
> a strategy that works without insight

Doesn't work if gas price changes are log-normally distributed.
I still regularly fall for this trap. My instinct to "DRY" is so ingrained into me that I always find myself deduping similar looking blocks of code. I think this culture is a knee jerk reaction to dealing with code bases on the opposite end of the spectrum where entire classes are "copy and pasted" with only a single change. I've had the misfortune of dealing with these kinds of projects.

I now try to find the middle ground by remembering to "do the simple thing" even if it appears less elegant. This makes it easier to refactor in the future (if required) at which point more information will be available to design a more appropriate abstraction than would have been possible before.
Is there something like this that takes into account long term stays?

I.e. if I'm a US Citizen, it would probably be more advantageous to have an EU Nation 2nd Passport so I have unrestricted access to all EU member countries
2 and 3 are inherently linked. If you want somebody else to recommend your videos, you're automatically under their control. Expecting a third party to promote your content without caring what content you produce is not realistic.

You could definitely build a recommendation system on top of PeerTube, but content creators will be just as beholden to the peertube discovery algorithm, and the assumptions and preferences it is built on, as YouTube's content creators are to the preferences and assumptions of the YouTube algorithm.
> the leading 0 is significant.

Word to the wise: Don't store numeric address information in integer fields. I sometimes see ZIP codes with missing leading 0's.
You don't pay taxes on on your first like 118k in income [1]. Because this lowers your AGI even if you make more than that you still start at the bottom of the tax bracket. Rough example you make 125k thus 125k-118k - 7k in taxable income thus in 10% bracket. There are obviously other rules for non W-2 income and property taxes.

The biggest antipattern I encounter is factoring out an abstraction when the idea hasn't even been shared yet.
While unexpected features can definitely complicate something that was merged into an abstraction, bug “fixes” also matter and they can be worse:

- Programmers may look at a bug in a simple shared function and conclude that it “obviously” should be fixed, and do so quickly without really understanding what else could go wrong. (As a completely contrived example: You “fix” something that previously couldn’t return a negative value, and move on; turns out this “fix” allows a bug somewhere else to crop up, a catastrophic improper cast from signed to unsigned, blowing up your -1 into an iteration over billions of expensive operations.)

- Bug priority levels vary between features, even if code is shared. Your abstraction may make it effectively impossible to fix just one high-priority feature, if your deployment is (say) set up to run hours or days of regression tests on all affected parts. Generally, the more segregated things actually are, the easier it is to set priorities well.

Just because something is duplicated doesn’t mean that it’s that way forever, either. At a good branch point, such as a new project, you can aggressively prune out things that won’t apply to that branch even if they helped keep things stable on the previous project.

I find that REST was 'perfect' given the status-quo of APIs at the time it came out. It allowed for massive simplification of APIs compared to its XML-based predecessors and enabled every man and his dog to make a half-decent semi-standardized API.

For better of for worse as things progressed new requirements and complicating factors like the ones you mentioned (filtering, pagination, need for dynamism etc) came up that ended up being handled in a dozen different ways muddying up the waters.

To me, GraphQL built on top of REST to cover those bases and IMHO that's how these technology standards are supposed to evolve: thing comes up, it gets used till previously unknown requirements surface, new thing learning from old thing and addressing new requirements comes up.

I was really bothered when I realised that GraphQL doesn't allow for heterogeneous input-type unions though, cause that makes filtering a hassle (eg if you wanna have a query that can take an arbitrary number of filters for fields of different types).
C++/Qt for GUI, Go or Python for backend, Python for misc scripts/prototypes, C for uCs. They are all well trodden paths with plenty of good libraries available, and good tooling available. I have spent a bit of time playing with Zig most recently, it could finally replace C for me!
