Unfortunately, I never tested it with an Apache configuration that had .htaccess support disabled and so it simply did not occur to me that the default was "off".

I think the bigger issue was that the PHP sample code allowed all file types by default - this would not only affect Apache, but any Webserver that had broad rules to execute PHP scripts found in a directory.

Originally I didn't see this as an issue as I trusted developers to securely configure their server to make sure no uploaded files would be executed, which is why the .htaccess security settings were only added later in this commit: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/commit/13931c7...

But neither was the documentation informing developers clearly enough about the security implications, nor should I have relied on people actually reading security notices.

Vellvm – Verifying the LLVM [video]
> If a large number of Americans suddenly and unexpectedly die for some reason, it seems like the type of situation the government would step in to resolve anyway.

Another way to put this is privatize the premiums and socialize the risk. If we the people are going to provide a reinsurance backstop we should be compensated for it appropriately.
"...committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group..."

A massacre is not genocide, neither is irresponsible environmental damage. It needs to have a specific intent and exist in a context that (is intended to) produce such massacres on a large scale.

e.g. German "reprisals" in France after partisan attacks were war crimes, but not genocide.

Not necessarily in that order, though...
I don't understand. What about when you're just consuming a list of things like an image gallery or HN/Reddit frontpage?

Your complaint doesn't seem to make sense in this common context. In fact, I can't think of many contexts where your complaint does apply.

Let's say Reddit knows precisely the 100,000 things I do want to see. Endless scroll doesn't change that, but it makes sense to lazy load them that way.
> I don't understand why you are buying luxury goods off of Amazon when you aren't able to distinguish between counterfeit goods.

What you sound to me is lonely. I say that not to be flip, but trying to create something on your own is exponentially harder than doing it alongside a partner. My 2¢: throw yourself into work at your company. Learn as much as you can. Meet colleagues. Make friends. Don’t see it as the place you’ll be forever, but as a place you can build resources. Hang our outside of work with the colleagues you feel inspired by. Talk about plans for the future. Riff on eachother’s ideas. When something seems interesting to a group of you, take some time to build it out as a fun experiment or hobby. Think of these as play not work. At some point one of these hobbies will inevitably find an audience and get some traction. You’ll know it’s right when you and your “cofounders” — though if you’re doing it right you won’t even think of each other that way yet — can’t stop thinking about it and working on it feels invigorating not exhausting. Once you’re there the path to creating a business will get a lot clearer. But trying to get there on your own, while not impossible, is very lonely and very hard.
> Perhaps they should be taxed on their MSRP and not be given a tax rebate on discounts. That would encourage them to keep their published prices matched to what they actually charge.

The problem is that as there's no mandatory insurance in the US like there is in Germany, there is a very high chance that the patient may not be able to pay the bill, and so the hospital (or practice) is stuck with the costs. Which may go into six, sometimes seven digit sums. And this loss has to be eaten somewhere... in the form of everyone else having to pay way overinflated sums.

The only way to fix the US health system is to provide a national mandatory insurance for everyone which covers everything of basic healthcare, and then for the private industry they can offer insurance packages for higher-quality care (single rooms instead of shared ones, for example). Or, if that is not possible due to the insurance companies having bought off half of Congress, at the very least introduce a nationwide pricing list for medical procedures, with as few possibilities for deviation as it can be done (for example, services in the center of Manhattan can be more expensive than somewhere out in the woods because rent and staff are more expensive).
Sure, and Wikipedia and Facebook.

If you live in California, you can smell the feedlots for miles near Coalinga/Harris Ranch on I-5 while driving between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and when cattle are visible, it appears much denser than that photograph, but that may be sample bias where the cows just like to get closer to the fence for some reason, need a drone to have a better idea.
It seems like there’s some leeway in ‘After reaching general consensus or voting takes place, the PR is merged by someone from the Haxe developer team, and the proposal becomes "active". When merged, the proposal will receive its number from the corresponding pull request. If the proposal is rejected, the PR is closed with a comment explaining the reasons.’

I think general consensus was reached without a formal vote. Discussion was limited but explanation was given: language clarity would be impacted. A few main contributors agreed. @lerc didn’t provide much of a counterargument.

That said, what would you have wanted to see done differently? A formal vote held? This proposal seemed to be a matter of preference, with no real consensus on clarity. Workarounds were even proposed. What would be your ideal resolution? Not shutting down the discussion as haphazardly? How much further should it have gone?

I've had the case that the delivery company didn't get the full address to deliver to. They tried to deliver multiple times and said every time that the address didn't exist or couldn't be found. I called the transportation support to complain and I was dumbfounded that they simply didn't have a correct address.

I don't know who screwed up, Amazon or the delivery company but something definitely went wrong on either side.
We don't really need a lot of the leadership positions we currently have. Hierarchies are possible/required when networks aren't fully connected up. As an extreme example to convey the point, Genghis Khan and Napolean play a huge role when the world is disconnected. But today the world is hyperconnected, so what does society do with its Genghis Khan characters?
These people are busy trying to assert their innate Genghis-ness (see Mark Zuckerberg) but the network is so much more massive it will steamroll them sooner or later. Whats important in hyperconnected networks is consensus on direction. We are going through a transition from hierarchy to a fully connected network and we still have too many self deluding/self important characters trying to resist that.
How would you even implement a verified purchase? For a hotel maybe you could forward an itinerary (which can be faked) but there’s probably no receipt for a random taco stand that only accepts cash. Granted the latter does not care as much as the hotel but whatever they do would need to cover everybody.
Wouldn't fake reviews reduce the credibility of Yelp eventually, thus letting the problem take care of itself?
Honestly, I'm shocked that in 2018, anyone believes anything they read in online reviews written by strangers on the Internet. It's got to be common knowledge by now that most of them are fake and often paid for, and that some companies manipulate which results you see based on not-quite-above-the-board criteria. Who actually takes these things seriously anymore?
I was recently in Mongolia, and one of the more memorable sights (in a country packed to the brim with them) awaited me next to the station building in the godforsaken town of Choir, a heat-blasted former Soviet military base in the middle of the Gobi Desert. The scenery all around was rocky desert, battered commieblock apartments and barbed wire... and a solitary silver Socialist Realist statue of Jügderdemidiin Gürragchaa, the first & only Mongolian in space, proudly springing off into the skies.

https://driftingclouds.net/2018/07/07/from-siberia-to-tibet-... (photo towards the end)

Mongolia, too, seems very much like a country trying to forget its long Socialist era, and there were no statues of the guy to be seen in the bright lights of Ulaanbaatar.
As someone with ADHD, I immediately close any website that uses infinite scroll. I will become insanely focused on that site to the point that I tune out the outside world. What begins as "oh, I'll just look at this one article" turns into at least a half hour of wasted time before I'll be able to break out of it.
The above poster seems to have given a pretty clear reason why we would want the military to take on these tasks

As clarification, in my opinion The military should not take on these jobs.

It is interesting how "it's 100% genes" and "it's 100% environment" can both be 100% against the individual. In either case your fate is determined by your genes/environment, and there is nothing YOU can do about it. It is government's job to either select the worthy ones and purge the unworthy ones, or brainwash everyone into the desired shape (and purge those who somehow resist the brainwashing).

I agree.

Since I intend to use this technique in a social network app I am working on, I clicked on this article expecting reasons to not use infinite scrolling.

I feel discouraged. When every generalized statement is essentially clickbait, then I don't know where to look for arguments and advice anymore.

I am truly lost.
I want to disagree with you, but you're basically right. The functional way of thinking is different enough it's an unnecessary complication for most non CS majors.

That said, you can teach very solid Computing Science using imperative languages. Algol is still used for research and publishing after all.
Tabata intervals is most definitely cardio, and you can't do a sufficiently hard one more than around 4 minutes.

Not OP, but - I graduated in '95 and started working right away. Back then, the market and demand for developers was insane, and I ended up switching jobs - for 10-20% more every time - four times in four years. Then, right around 2000, the market crashed and I started interviewing again, and suddenly I had a really tough time finding anything: they brought up my short tenure at all my past jobs very negatively. I did finally find something, and have slowed down my job-hopping a bit (averaging 5 years per job now), but the "four jobs in four years, back in the late 90's" thing came up just last year during an interview - for a job that I didn't end up getting. In short - be careful, they're watching.
> And what’s stopping you from doing that?

If Big Tech colludes to deplatform Jones, then it's no longer my decision.

> What you want is to make that decision for Facebook, and not let Facebook make it for themselves.

I can't make decision for Facebook, I don't have that power. I can't force Facebook to do anything. Facebook, on the other hand, has the power to deplatform Jones and force me to not be able to see his content via Facebook, discuss his content with my Facebook contacts, force me off the platform for supporting Jones, etc. etc. Of course, they don't have influence beyond facebook platform, but in collusion with Google, Twitter, DNS providers, certificate providers, cloud service providers, etc. (virtually all those have been participating in deplatforming before) - they wield immense powers, so "but you can build your own Internet, nobody prevents you from doing that" is not really a good suggestion. Even then, that's exactly what the subjects of the article is doing - and they are being mocked for it, too.
That's with no images, and iirc it also didn't include any of the math markup last time I looked at one of the xml dumps in one of the loaders (think it was kiwix)
As someone with a pedantic side, I'd say nothing in real-world computing is infinite. Every web page ends eventually, even if it's only when your browser runs out of memory.
Come on, the big companies are multinationals, and not all of them do all research stateside. Novartis are Swiss, GSK are British, Merck KGA are German, Novo Nordisk are Danish, Takeda are Japanese &c pp. The Yanks overpay terribly for healthcare, that's true.
How about “hardship porn”? Seems as punchy but less likely to be misinterpreted.
Agreed - in addition to performance issues, there are also security issues if .htaccess support is enabled - because they can override security settings.

Originally the PHP example code didn't have a .htaccess file - I trusted developers that they would configure file uploads securely by themselves, e.g. via Apache configuration files.

The reason I added it was to support developers on shared hosting plans without access to the Apache configuration - something which was very common back then.
You can find versions that are 50GB if you dig around the kiwix download page! The entire stackoverflow dump is around the same size.
> This idea that it's "virtually no way to avoid tainted money" is pretty cynical and self serving, IMO.

Perhaps the real intention behind that idea is more like: "you can avoid tainted money but that money may go straight to your less scrupulous competitors". If you don't take the money, someone else will, and they may use it to beat you. To people whose primary focus is the growth of their own business, that could be a big cost for upholding their own sense of moral justice.

Hello,
my startup Free Essentials is going to solve universal income privately by paying our members to consume our already free products and services. Since our products will be free, all our revenue will come from advertising, transaction fees, and data. Initially, we are going to establish ourselves with water and then we will expand from there. Please take a look at the commercial for our first product FreeWater and you'll get the big picture.
Best,
Josh

Is most of consumer hardware built on top of open source or on proprietary tools? I would love to see a movement where companies build products and then give away implementation details, but the cynic in me says repair costs is the analog of advertising revenue for these companies.
The technique is called "windowing" and it's not extremely hard to implement properly. For react we have react-virtualized and react-window, and I'm sure there are other libraries for different UI frameworks.

I'm running infinite scroll in production serving thousands of photos and it works pretty well, constant 60fps, low memory consumption and you could literally scroll infinitely (given infinite content).
And even before westerners like my ancestors intervened in China, people were taking drugs. It was just that they punished only the lower classes. http://www.victorianweb.org/victorian/science/addiction/addi..., https://www.bl.uk/romantics-and-victorians/articles/represen....

Also don't forget Edgar Allen Poe in the US. Anyway, after the good white people of the world (/s, ie probably my ancestors in the us) decided that black people were still a real threat, we got the 1920s anti-pot laws (http://origins.osu.edu/article/illegalization-marijuana-brie...) and it continued even until Nixon tried his successful early "make harsh drug laws to hurt minorities" strategy https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/23/politics/john-ehrlichman-rich....

I think this is fantastic advice, but only up to a point. Unplugging regularly to recharge is so important, but the length and percentage of time matters. OP might spend 80% of their time in parts of the world without internet, for weeks or months at a time. In that context, I don’t think this advice applies in the same way that it would for someone who spends a day or two offline every other month.
Prudential's entire market capitalization could be wiped out with $42 billion of unexpected losses

That is just absurd. We accept that kings will naturally strive to uphold their power, that feudal lords will protect their privileges, and so on. But somehow, some seemingly dogmatic people firmly believe that despite the entire incentive structure pointing in that direction, genuine agents of capitalism are not furthering their own interests through the means of state power.

My personal feelings when I use a site with infinite scroll are pretty clear. I don't think it is unreasonable to look at other sites, where you are a user, draw conclusions, and apply them to your own site.
I think it's probably both. Many of them are doing it, and they have to make filial piety towards the government rules. Since China has been trying to kidnap ex-pats who complain about the government, it's becoming harder and harder for people to have the guts to come forward.
Prior to slaughter, most large scale farming of animals has a finishing step where the animals are confined to limit movement to fatten them up. In and Out has said it was limiting their expansion eastward to Texas because they did not want to freeze their beef, probably not coincidentally cattle feedlots range from California to Texas, north to Colorado, that I have seen personally.
I’d argue that the “work is good in and of itself” idea is quite prevalent on the left too. You can certainly find left-wing advocates of “job guarantee”-type setups.
The lack of transparency is due to perverse incentives in the healthcare system stemming from overly complex legislation.

As a country, the US hasn't decided whether healthcare is a fundamental right or privilege. As a result, we constantly make political decisions that straddle the line without ever really going one way.

The biggest culprit is the "fee-for-service" model of reimbursement, where healthcare providers (physicians) are reimbursed based on the quantity of care rather than patient outcomes. Each procedure has a code (CPT) that is used to bill insurance. Billing for each of these codes is completely arbitrary and up to provider/payer negotiations. The fee-for-service model is a clear example of a perverse incentive.

Who reimburses the fee-for-service model? Either the government (Medicare/Medicaid isn't even entirely government-run, as many states rely on a for-profit Medicare Administrative Contractor) or private health insurance companies. The perverse incentives can now be seen from both the provider's side and the payer's side: hospitals and physicians negotiate to get the best reimbursement rates that they can. And of course, because these insurance companies want to make money, they make it "difficult" for providers to get paid for each procedure and will find any reasonable way to deny the claim from going through. Because of this, providers artificially raise the amount charged to the payers as high as they think they can get away with in the hopes that insurance will pay up.

Meanwhile, patients suffer greatly as there's no transparency.
We're gonna need a bigger internet.
