I would be curious to know your theory on why BBS's vanished, and also why you suppose Instagram is here for good.

Because of the advertising revenue, or something eles?

For contrast, I just figure BBS died due to eternal September on the hardware scaling side - the rate at which people became computers users increased much faster than the rate at which people became sysadmins and moderators.

So, the internet became unmoderated, un-administered.

While bad actors being punished is important, there is a constant trade-off for ensuring good actors aren't punished. Ideas like trial by jury and innocent until proven guilty try to address this because the judge of good and bad is essential. I assume you don't see government dissent as bad, because social credit and constant surveillance will discourage and punish these good actors. And with a system like this setup, more nefarious, corrupt, and oppressive uses could occur eventually. And with China known for its corruption and brutal authority, I am surprised you are so confident the government won't continuously abuse this power if not now than in the future.

Your stance is removing yourself from the conversation.

Meanwhile, in this moderate preacher and congregation allegory, the congregation has not left the building, because there is no leader to explain to them why they need to shut the trolls out of their life, so they are sitting ducks to become radicalized.

This is what grandparent was saying afaict - moderating voices leaving the conversation capitulate the space to the radicals.

The moderating voices are tired of explaining to people that the earth is not flat, so they are leaving. So the flat earthers can take to the pulpit.

FWIW my strategy is to build a better church down the road. I don't know if I can make it more appealing than the megachurch dominated by trolls, but I think a lot of people are looking for something different.

Cross platform as Tekken 7's Linux port?
Thanks for response, I have high hopes from Flutter, however having spend years in cross-platform mobile development, I just want to avoid the most common pitfalls. I hope this comment doesn't come out as snarky, I just wanted to give an honest opinion.

Not having first-class Maps is a deal breaker for many apps, and having only Google Maps support is not what most developers want. I would like to port my current app, but without proper maps support Flutter feels like a cousin of Ionic.

What's the FFI story of Flutter? Could you please point me to the direction of using ARkit view using ObjC/Java FFI? From what I've seen we've to wire an OpenGL View to achieve AR capabilities, but I might be wrong.

While the crypto package is a good start, I was more interested in having access to the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on iOS/Android. Do you have any work being done in that area? Lots of apps (e.g. Fintech) have security audits and these things could be a deal breaker.

A cursory look the Audio plugins show that it's a wrapper around AVFoundation etc. and they are capable of playing audio/video, I would love to see an official plugin with 1-to-1 feature parity with iOS/Android AV API.

Flutter is a great project, but it seems to be plagued by the same issues that React Native, and Xamarin has.
If they’re capable of acting on such a command, somebody has messed up.

> ignoring aggressive non-sharing downloaders of course

It has not been reasonable to ignore such users for the last five years or so. Like it or not, the computing landscape has shifted to mobile devices which aren’t on all the time and have limited power and bandwidth. Perhaps BitTorrent is OK now, in its niche, but if it were to go mainstream for downloads you’d go from a small fraction of non-sharing downloaders to a high fraction.

Skype’s architecture is an interesting one in that space: it used to be distributed, with many computers all over the place nominated supernodes; but the shift to mobile made that architecture untenable, and so they had to shift to a centralised model, which generally performs worse, to keep it working at all—not for surveillance, but for scalability!

Wow this was the most ignorant and man-child comment I've read in this entire thread lol.
The generalisations and overestimations are beyond me.

No one cooks every night in this world, unless it's their job. Real food lasts a lot longer than you think it does, and that shows your inexperience or lack of trying to even inch near the real thing.

You remind me of a kid that gets a water pistol expecting a bb gun and cries because water doesn't hurt.

Your gripes with cooking:

- I don't understand how long food lasts. Takes one time to learn.

- I don't know how to cut things. Takes one time to learn.

- I am used to tasty food. The cheap food from your restaurant is not from scratch. Restaurants are often less fresh and less diverse than what you make at home.

- I don't want to cook every day. What are you cooking, 2 sausages and an egg? How about cooking 4 sausages and 2 eggs. Use a pot that doesn't feed 1 person like a normal person. Do you cut parts of a tree off as you need them or do you cut the base?

Honestly I don't know how you live by yourself when you can generate these kinds of "blockades". How about before you pin something you can't do down to it's "negatives" you actually start to pin some effort into it.

Do you catch Ubers everywhere because last time you got in a car your feet got tired from grabbing the steering wheel and your back hurt from sitting upside down? No one taught you to drive that way, no one taught you to cook pasta, toss in sauce and a piece of cheese on top...

Why would this be an argument against getting data of an individual neuron? We would obviously just have some filtering applied to it to attempt to remove the noise, in the simplest case even just a noise gate adjusted to that default rate. It would still provide information from individual neurons.

I suspect their rating system doesn't factor in hardware differences between the platinum reports: two of the games in their top 27 have serious issues with AMD graphics cards as far as I can tell.

Wolfenstein: The New Order appears to only run for people with Nvidia graphics cards and crashes on boot with a fairly fundamental OpenGL error on AMD. (You can actually see this if you click on Wolfenstein on their website, every Nvidia report is platinum and every AMD report is "Borked").

Skyrim runs at maybe 40 fps on my Vega 64 at 1600x900 high settings, which is an absolutely insane loss of performance (on Windows it could run at >100 fps @ 2560x1440) and puts it into "not playable" territory for me. Again this issue doesn't seem to exist on Nvidia.
We're agreeing. My point is that we should care about a billion people in China and a billion people in the West and billions everywhere. You're right that free speech and dissent are how we make change. I'm questioning the Western perspective because it seems like free speech and dissent are reaching limits as well. Dissent as you like, it probably won't work, and you'll probably suffer consequences in the commercial sphere, albeit not formally in the political or national spheres. We should keep complaining until it gets better. I just wonder if the complaints ever get heard in good faith.
This is seriously cool idea.

But could you not get the same effect with nice?
Yes, although quite interestingly C suffered from the same lack of steady state reaching as the Java code due to something in Malloc (see part 1). As well as suffering from optimizations in a compiler actually making existing code slower (of course in C/C++ new, valid, optimizations also have the side effect of breaking code :( UB values are called poison in LLVM IR for a reason...)

Problem with JIT based languages is that they tend to inhibit the optimizations that developers can make. Mostly because these days the largest benefit for performance is well organized memory access, which is inhibited in the widely used JITs. (e.g. pointer chasing happy java/python/js/ruby) code)

On the other hand JITs can really run with simple optimizations because they can assume (virtual calls assumed to have a single target are run as if they are static calls).

In the end neither of this matters for most developers as things are "fast enough" i.e. See Ruby on MRI, R, or CPython today.

Of course that leading slash will break things -- you could drop the whole `/https:` too.
Just to add a bit of color to what you're saying, Java has (historically at least) worked fairly hard to NOT do any optimization in the first pass. JVM bytecode is a fairly straightforward trivial translation of Java code.

JITs do have much more information to leverage for optimization. But they have 2 balancing acts:

1) All the tracking, profiling, and compilation machinery they need to operate concurrently need to cost less than the advantages they bring. There's amortization here in longer running programs.

2) Much of that optimisation goes into bringing languages UP to speed, let alone pull ahead. JITed languages don't just have more information at runtime but typically have much less at compile time.

Take Java and C++ for example. In Java, every call is a virtual call and worse, any call outside of your class can look completly different at runtime (besides the signature) than it did at compile time. Then add all the classloading/bytecode weaving that's actually common. C++ on the other hand knows what's virtual, what's not, what's linked from another lib up front.

I think that would have to overcome the hurdle of not looking “serious”.

Bloomberg terminals are multi-screen as standard, have a full window management environment, make very heavy use of the keyboard and shortcuts (I believe they are mouse optional, I’ve only ever seen them demoed with just a keyboard). These things are also only ever used on leased lines or very high speed wired connections to reduce latency.

The super fast trading is now mostly automated, so I suspect these productivity features are less important, and that a slick touch based UX could be better, but I think it would be tricky to convince people of that.

Look at how much parking structures are as a % of the total building space in downtown SF or Manhattan. Not nothing, but pretty small. Maybe 5%. Probably less.
AFAIU one major advantage of Clos/fat tree networks is that you'll do quite fine even with relatively dumb static routing protocols.

Another big fan of Flutter here...

We're using it to replace our native iOS and Android apps enabling us to have a single code base. This is critical for a team as small as ours (2 devs covering web and mobile).

Edit: grammar is hard
I can’t think of any particularly good articles, or things of that nature. But, you’ll mostly be utilizing Vuex to store, mutate, & fetch data. If you aren’t already familiar with it, the docs are great [1]. It’s fairly simple to use, and as your app grows you’ll likely find yourself writing more and more boiler plate store code, but fortunately, there are a ton of really great plugins/utilities the community has built for Vuex that help eliminate a lot of that boiler plate, and make it easier to work with an ever growing store. The Awesome Vue repo [2] has a pretty comprehensive list, and you can probably get some ideas of how you’d like to work with it from seeing all the options, for example Vuex-persistedstate & vuejs-storage allow you to interface with localstorage, while Vuex-pathify provides a nice, less verbose interface for actually working with the data in the store, and then there are things like vuex-api and vuex-rest-api that eliminate a lot of boilerplates code for interacting with apis to fetch/update data.

So, the argument basically boils down to: It's a bad thing to use a dsl or similar only for gui. It's a good thing to use a whole new language you have to port all your code to and that has only a small ecosystem so you can also write all these libraries yourself.

Don't get me wrong. Flutter may well be a formidable piece of software. Dart either. I just don't get how flutter is marketed around the fact that dart was there first with no convincing use case and that people only then started looking for a raison d'etre.
