I found an apple tree on an island in the middle of a lake once, while out kayaking. It had apparently been there for quite some time, completely untended to by human hands. I was excited to try a "natural" apple, for whatever reason I had the idea that it would be tastier than store bought apples. I regretted biting into it pretty much immediately. It was my first lesson on the importance of artificial selection in the palatability of our produce.

I have found out, since then, that apples grown for their edibility are grown from grafts, not seeds. Most likely, someone at some point stopped on that island and had lunch, and left apple seeds on the island, which eventually grew into a wild apple tree. Wild apples aren't edible, and the apples we know and love have been carefully bred to be the way they are.

They control access to the customer. If you don’t think this is a valuable service, try selling stuff sometime. I sell on Amazon and they take 15% just for originating the sale, plus another 15% for FBA. If Amazon wasn’t around to charge me 30% to sell on their platform, I wouldn’t have a business.

Using things like purgecss with tailwind will make your css few kb large.
Please read this...

> By comparison Tailwind seems really heavy (over 1.5x larger than Bootstrap!), but it turns out that this comparison isn't totally fair.

I very rarely have only a single browser window, and I'm not coding in a browser anyway, so that's not actually a huge factor in the decision. I agree with using windows to easily switch between tweak and test.
Intel CPUs impacted by new PortSmash side-channel vulnerability
If you look at https://joindiaspora.com/statistics, you'll actually notice that "Registrations" are "Closed". I guess that means that this specific "pod" is full and you need to find a different "pod"?
I never tried Tailwind, I landed to Bulma after using Bootstrap, and then Tachyons, for many years, and I really enjoy it. I find myself maintaining an helper.scss file with basic classes that bulma does not support out of the box, but other than that, it definitely saves me time and, overall, improves the outcomes.
I'm always confused why a dev would use Patreon. Wouldn't it be a fairly simple task to set up your own website/blog with a donation feature and keep 100% of the donations?

Diaspora has been a comedy of such errors for the decade it's existed.
Thanks. It wasn't my idea. I literally tested the spec "whenever you zoom in enough that there's enough room on a visible street to put a label, then put the label!"

I guess the person meant "on one spot" but since labels are frequently repeated I didn't see the harm of trying it out in the "worst" way possible. Still looks fantastic.

Maybe it was misspecified but I did what it says and I think it's great. A light grey might help but then again it could be easier to ignore black you don't need than make out light grey you do.
Tailwind is really awesome. I switched from bootstrap in some projects and it’s been great. You gain a lot of flexibility in your designs

My wife wasn't happy with the idea that friends of friends could see photos of her on Facebook and Facebook was regularly tweaking privacy settings (read: undoing my changes) so I punted and deleted my profile.

Frankly Google+'s circles seemed like the perfect solution by giving you explicit control over who sees what and further letting you tailor what you post to each circle.

Although I'm sorry to see it go at the end I only used G+ to keep in touch with fellow Ingress players. Between the fact that my Diaspora experience was similar to yours, slack is the go to for my tech interaction with k8s users and discord for gamers I'm not sure I really need another time waster anyway. I can't help but think some portion of the population will like me choose to replace Google+ with nothing at all.
It's funny because we also saw a slight increase in the pace of account creation on Movim as well https://movim.eu/, but I'm not sure if there is a real correlation.

But I'm really happy to see that more and more people are joining federated solutions better than proprietary centralized ones like Google+ :)
I'm not a big fan of the bloat here too but with some scripting wizardry you can probably delete all the unused classes.

From what I can tell, it could allow a malicious app to bad things, but the malicious app would already have to be installed.
By your very nature, you can't.

As you reach a certain size, it becomes nearly impossible to moderate due to the volume of material. Also, what to moderate will always be a fight. If you have a 10 million users, and 3,000,000 of them say that something is offensive, and 3,000,000 of them say that it is not and needs to be left, you're in a real pickle. If you listen to either side, you're possible siding with a minority opinion. Even if you're siding with a minority, you're going to upset millions of people. And no matter what your stance, you're taking a stance (with either action or inaction).

What is the morally correct choice? It's the trolley problem every time a group gets offended (or counter-offended, or counter-counter-offended or...) Is it supposed to be a truly democratic state of majority, or a civil environment? What is the goal? None of these questions have "right" answers, just opinions. So what if you feel that your opinion is opposed by most of your users, who do you listen to?

If you propagandize one side like that, of course it looks dystopian.

You could do the same exact thing for pretty much any state, country or bloc.

> In what way is China not already run by a dystopian regime?

How about the fact that they lifted 800 million people? Or the fact that they increased literacy rates from 20% before they came in power to nearly 100% today?

Using your logic, everything is always dystopian because you only choose to see the negative.

Every country has positives and negatives. Every single one.
Arguably you wouldn't have to debug bad connections if the middleboxes just did what they were supposed to.
I just tried creating a new account from a VPN, using a browser that I haven't used to log into Google previously. It allowed me to create a new account without a backup phone or email, and allowed me to send an email.

How does Google know you've hit a limit when you've registered new emails? And, not to belabor the point, but why should they be expected to give you unlimited number of free accounts -- or, what service do you recommend that will be that generous?
Yet they give free storage to Flickr Commons institutions ( British Library etc ) who have literally hundreds of millions of images. They have been exempted from this new policy.

This is just a shakedown against the little people using photos that they uploaded in compliance with ToS as blackmail. It's not just the damage it will do to the Internet that is the problem, it is the ethical question. Do you still trust Flickr as a custodian? What happens if you let your Pro account lapse?

Imagine if GMail announced that they were restricting accounts to 1000 emails and deleting the rest. Would anyone trust them after that?

I'm well under the new limit but will be migrating to another service, and will be paying for it.
Evidence of ancient Milky Way merger
Diaspora has been a comedy of such errors for the decade it's existed

I think I had a Diaspora account in like 2011... Then they announced they were blowing away everyone's account to redesign the database or something... Never bothered with it again.
I don't think even if Greyhound offered better service and buses that it would make them any more money. It's a market where the customers don't have money to spend in the first place, you would be trying to squeeze water from a stone. There's not much barrier to entry, so if there were profits to be made by offering better service, another company would have entered it.

It might be doable between a few close urban cities like Megabus did, but buses in general aren't going to be a big opportunity for making money simply because too many of the the customers don't have money.
No offence to the developer, but isn't this like propaganda? I mean you're not just choosing to only see the best in world, but you're letting someone else define what is the best (or not depressing). Just seems a little weird to me...
> They've structured it to be shitty because that's what the market wants

Kind of. It's what the current market wants. But through anticompetitive mergers and deregulation, the airlines have lobbied and gamed the laws to create a market tilted heavily towards their own preferences, that the public overwhelmingly hates.

A problem with U2F and prior solutions is that they are hard to implement and public/private key pairs are specific to website origin, meaning I can not use the public key as an identifier. We need something much more simple, basically all it needs to do is to proof the possession of the private key.
It would however have the same problems, those you mentioned, which are difficult problems. My idea in order to make those problems less painful is to require key rotation at regular intervals, that way people will automate away those pain points. For example by generating two backups keys that the user is instructed to store off-line, which is then used every second month to rate keys, and can be used as proof of you owning a lost key. Then you can implement certificates etc independently eg proof that the person holding the key is a certain person. But it's important that such things are not in the spec - or it would be too complicated, leading to no- or slow adaption.
Judging by the charts, peak blockchain hysteria was around December 2017.

> Quite honestly, I feel like most of the media websites do the same thing. Write negative articles for more clicks, virality, etc.

In social media it may not be the writing of the negative articles that is the problem, but more the reinforcement of the negative messages by algorithms designed to keep us on the platform for the longest time, and found out that feeding us disturbing, shocking stuff, conspiracy theories, etc. works best to keep us engaged.

The concept is well described in Max Stossel's Medium article "How Everyone Lost Their Mind… Except you" [0]

> "Have you noticed that everything seems like it’s falling apart? Have you noticed that the world is crumbling in exactly the way you thought it would? Have you felt recently like you’re the only one who gets it, and everyone else just doesn’t understand… like the world has been going crazy and everyone else is getting sucked in to their conspiracy theories, or fooled by mainstream media [..] Doesn’t it feel like everyone except for you, and maybe your tribe has lost their freaking minds?!"

I don’t donate to those. Almost nobody does. I donate when it’s through a trusted service like Patreon. Many creators have observed this when they moved over.

Nitrux – Powered by Linux, KDE Plasma 5, Qt and Nomad Desktop
At least for me, I like having a single computer so I don't have to put any effort in keeping two computers synced. Modern laptops can be 4+ core, 16GB+ RAM, and can handle a lot. At my last job I had this monstrous HP "workstation" laptop and I used the size/weight as an excuse to never take it home. But it was useful to be able to carry it to presentations and meetings.

Every place I've worked in the last 8 years has provided a docking station and external monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse, etc. Apart from fan noise, it doesn't feel any different from a desktop.

At my last workplace there were a few business folks who used their 14" laptop keyboard and monitor and never used the company provided peripherals. I can't understand that at all, but everybody has their preferences. If a company expected me to only use a laptop screen I think I'd strongly consider not accepting the job offer!
Same, this is why I'm an Amish subsistence farmer.
It really boils down to the fact that most devs don't need the horsepower that desktops provide.

A laptop can connect to 27 inch (4k monitors), your prefered keyboard/mouse setup.
It also comes with a slick integrated uninterruptible power supply (ie the built in battery).

Need to go on a business trip? Undock it.
Need to take some work home? Undock it.
Want to show a colleague in another building what your working on? Undock it.

If you had a dual computer setup (Desktop and Laptop), you're now in charge of making sure state/configs is mirrored across the devices. I've wasted hours of productivity from this issue. Drove to coffee shop 30 minutes away. Forgot to git push the repo on my desktop. Drove back, git push, Drove back. 1.5 hours wasted...

For 95% of use cases, laptops are pretty hard to beat. The outliers are AI/ML workloads, serious video editing, CAE software etc.
Basically anything, where long-term steady state thermal management would become an issue.

I kinda wish the Macbook or Thinkpad-lines would support dockable compute, in a slick way. I know E-GPUs are a thing. But still find the packaging clunky. On the road (4 core i7, 16 GB RAM). Docked? Now it becomes Dual-xenon-like with 64 gb ram, 2x gpu. All state would live on the laptop. A pipedream? Yes.

But for using an IDE to write Javascript, Python, C++. A post-2012 laptop typically has the horsepower. I'm currently rocking a T430. I just wish it had a 4k touchscreen. Then it would be perfect.
Honestly, after living abroad for five years in total (with one year back in the Netherlands inbetween), that "direct and straightforward" part feels like it has been co-opted as an excuse to not bother with looking at things from the point of view of someone else and reaching out.
Hi. It might be good if you email me, as I'm not sure how much I can put into this post.

I've followed a similar path to the one you want to take. I got funding and built a fusion reactor design with some similarities (see US patent 5818891 for some details). What you are describing is more similar to a Migma design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migma). If you are not already aware of Migma, I recommend researching it to see what the problems were. See if figure 3a looks familiar here http://www.rexresearch.com/maglich/migma.htm.

This type of design will have a few problems. First, to work the way you simulate, it will have to remain at low density. This is because of space charge (all those repulsions add up as you add more particles). Also, the particle velocities will smear out over time as the particles adopt a Maxwellian distribution (see https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/11412). You can get around the space charge issue by putting electrons into the mix, but then you have a large source of energy losses (bouncing electrons emit photons that leave the area).

I'd love to see someone crack the self-sustaining fusion problem. If you would like to talk fusion, feel free to email me.
There are many interesting questions around this.

Is the purpose of news to manipulate your mood?

If that is the case it competes with video games, sports, fiction, etc.

Is the purpose of news to inform?

In that case "current events" competes with an understanding of past events.

I was listening to an evangelical preacher the other day about the book "Romans" written by my namesake and how the apostles are getting their asses kicked in roman jails and preaching with anger against immorality (beyond the pale today in the west) such as polygamy and slavery.

Then I was reading about how the Polish and Japanese both learned how to write at the same time in the same way. I felt the dread hanging over Arlington National Memorial and was shocked to discover who had owned the land it was on.

This 1971 book

https://www.amazon.com/Information-Machines-Ben-H-Bagdikian/...

predicted that we would have "news on the web" in the 1980s and has a much deeper analysis of that entails than most books written since.

He sees a fundamental problem in "news" that the gatekeeper function has to be done efficiently and quickly. Of all the things that happened today, the "news" is one in a billion or so.

That selection is necessary to create a feeling of shared reality. (I saw CNN at 5:14 and my Uncle Nic saw it at 7:31 and we saw "the same thing")

That selection is also violence against reality itself.
I wonder why we don't see a backlash against companies investing in China like we see against companies taking Saudi money?

Network effect. I already have a Patreon account hooked up with my payment info. I subscribe to 10-12 different people I like. Adding one more is trivial. Signing up for a whole new service with payment info for a single content creator is a lot of commitment.
But couldn't you also do the same to Bootstrap with PurgeCSS and still come out ahead of Tailwind?
So we were in agreement then, and I indeed misread your intent. Apologies.
At that point, why not just write actual CSS?
So, an example of a middlebox that's exceedingly common is a "web security gateway", which is your average web filter and logger in a corporate environment. Obviously it logs employee web activity, blocks access to adult websites, and maintains it's own malware definitions to try and block malicious content as well. It's quite often for these to also block domains used by ads and popups by default. When these sorts of devices are configured to inspect HTTPS, this adds a significant additional complexity: Network PCs need to be configured to permit a certificate from the box for all domains, which intercepts, decrypts, and re-encrypts all traffic.

Of course, the same type of technology a corporation might use to manage their network could be used by a state actor or a hostile ISP.

So strange... What kind of unpredictable algorithm is this!
Hmm, I hadn't thought of it like that. Maybe you can indeed steer it for the better, but as long as the profit model is ethically questionable, I'm not sure about the good vs. bad impact of one's contribution.

Tough decision indeed.
It seems that way, but to me it would be better than the hard approach of iretrievably deleting your stuff. It’s not hostage in any case, they’re not threatening deletion, it’s more like DoS. I prefer that so that if i want to, I can pay, but if I don’t i still have an archive of my items to download for myself—it’s just others won’t see your items.
