I'm curious what you mean by "art." In my experience what is referred to as successful artists on the internet are bootstrapped startups selling branded content and products.
So far legalization has not proven to solve the problems of demand or addiction. In the past several years legally available drugs have been the most abused and resulted in significant problems. I am not claiming this as a justification for increased enforcement either.

If you aren't solving for demand you either aren't taking the problem seriously or you have anterior motives to ending drug abuse.

I hear a lot of praise for Brave but I don't really get what's so great about it and the fact that it's cryptocurrency-related triggers all kinds of red flags and make it difficult for me to heed the praise. Are the fans genuine or do they have a vested interest in pumping BAT?

Trying to be a little more constructive, can somebody explain what's so great about it compared to Firefox? Because as far as I can tell it's just yet another Chromium derivative with built-in ad blocker, I don't really see what's so novel or exciting about that. Also AFAIK the source is available but it's not technically under an Open Source license?

Then of course there's the whole BAT thing which as far as I understand it replaces ads with... other ads but it's cryptocurrency based so it's better somehow? I never quite got that.

So what am I missing here? Why is Brave better than Firefox + uBlock origin?
Go/Gin is indeed a very good stack for building REST APIs, thanks for sharing!

If someone is interested to compare, I recently wrote a sample React app with a similar server stack: Go/Gin plus gorm (and SQLite, but easy to change): https://github.com/wallix/notes

Edit: I never tried Vue, but what are the advantages over React? Performance is supposedly similar, cf. https://medium.com/@ajmeyghani/javascript-frameworks-perform...
I truly don't understand the panicked tone. There are always going to be lots of projects licensed under all the existing licenses. If you don't like the new license, don't use it. Or start your own competing project.

That's irrelevant. It's enough that their biases are regularly reinforced by the sources they follow (something modern social media and news aggregators make extremely easy), they don't have to "only consume" their side of the story.

> yet ultimately artistically-bankrupt House of Cards

House of Cards did a lot of things right (granted, I haven't watched their latest season). First and I think most important of all it informed the general public about what politics really is, i.e. a social activity involving very enterprising men and some women that more closely approaches the works of Machiavelli than those of Rousseau.

In other words, it made us aware that we live in the world of Putins, Bibis and Trumps and not in the world of Bill Clintons and Obamas, the latter's world being better described by a show like "The West Wing", which looks totally passé right now.

Recently I discovered a 'filter bubble' in search. In an online discussion I mentioned the Peasant's Revolt in passing, which, for me, based in England, results in the events of 1381 when the English king who was all of fourteen years old agreed to meet the rebel leader only to kill him.

What I had not realised is that a search for 'Peasant's Revolt' is different depending on where you live. So in Germany the search will result in a German 'Peasant's Revolt'. As it turns out every country has had some 'Peasant's Revolt' at some stage of history. I have not tested what results you will get if you search for the same 'event' elsewhere, e.g. in Italy, but I wouldn't be surprised if that gave an Italian 'Peasant's Revolt' as the top search result with the events of 1381 in England far, far down the list.

This would be correct behaviour from the search engine but is still a filter bubble. It is okay for us to have different perspectives yet share the same facts and history.

The Pixel 1 was the first time I'd ever sprung for a flagship phone, and it fell to the audio chip defect in under two years. It was effectively totaled (market value=$180, repair=$150+hours). Google Support was a complete waste of time. I replaced it with a second-hand iPhone 8 out of spite, even though I prefer Android to iOS.
I work in the public sector of Scandinavia, and I've seen design thinking work. A muniplacity wanted to do something about the high degree of long-term-sickness, with a goal of getting people back to health sooner. They set down a task force filled with design thinkers by education, with that goal, but no specific anything else (pretty unheard of in the public sector where everything is typically measured and weighed and only approved after the analysis and planning is over). After around 6 months, the task force changed a few things.

One of them was the changing location of the waiting room. It had previously been in a pass-through corridor, making it very busy and noisy, something that wasn't good for people with long-term-sickness such as stress. In fact it was terrible, and such an obvious small fix, but nobody had thought about it before they asked people what could be improved.

The biggest thing they did, was make a cardboard tool for your long-term-sickness plan and journal. In short terms, it's a plan with all the meetings and appointments you're required to go to filled in, with room for comments. Every time you go to an appointment, the case worker and you write down what you discuss and agree on during the meeting, and the case worker fills in the time and place for your next appointment before you leave.

This muniplicity is now significantly better at getting people with long-term-sickness back to health (and work) than every other muniplicity in the country. I can't remember the exact numbers but it's somewhere around 30% which is an insane amount of life quality increased (and money saved). I've seen it in action and I think Design Thinking can be absolutely brilliant. In most cases it's not though. Successes like the one I just describe lead other people to want the same thing, in fact, there is a now national program to utilise Design Thinking in every muniplicity of Denmark. Which is all well and good, except change management isn't easy.

Most muniplicities send one or two employees on a three day course to learn Design Thinking. It's employees who work with lean and other process/project management types, so they're certainly suited, but you don't really learn Design Thinking in three days. That the first problem, the far bigger problem is that nothing changes in the project models we utilise or the way management orders projects. I mean, sure, you can commit your citizens and do a few prototypes and that'll probably improve every project, but you're not really doing Design Thinking if you are still doing the full analysis, the full planning and the full requirement specification for what results you want from a project before you start doing your Design Thinking. This lack of commitment, ownership and focused change management is why Design Thinking is failing in most muniplacities. It's not just Design Thinking, it's also Enterprise Architecture, Digitisation, Benefit Realisation and a wide range of other brilliant tools that fail.

Netflix has become nearly useless for me. The match score is useless. The homepage is full of content that's not up my alley. They removed public reviews? That was the only remotely useful thing to let me gauge if I want to watch something I haven't known about via other channels.

If you’re talking about automation like in factories or appliances or robots, “most” are actually using either VxWorks, Integrity, or ThreadX.

> They don’t claim to meet those guidelines though do they?

The problem of this whole discussion is that they try to confuse as much as they can by using terminology that surely sounds like they're doing "Open Source".

Read this:
https://www.confluent.io/blog/license-changes-confluent-plat...
Yeah, they don't write "The Confluent Community License is an Open Source License", but they use the term a whole lot and they also don't clearly write the accurate thing: "We're no longer using an Open Source license."

I think this whole thing would be much less of a controversy if some companies just said clearly: "We tried the Open Source way, it didn't work for us, now we do something different." But they don't want to be that company, instead they use all kinds of confusing terminology to obscure that fact and try to be the "We no longer use open source, but we surely want you to believe that we still do"-company.
Google Meet still doesn't work with Safari, with no explanation. Safari supports the latest WebRTC, and AIUI Google Meet uses the current WebRTC standard, so why does Google refuse to let it work on Safari? This has to be deliberate.

Great, now China appears to have descended to effectively using slave labor. I wonder what it would take for other countries to refuse to trade with them if not this. China has already shown it is willing to kill political prisoners for their organs, and I have no doubt that this is already happening to the Uighurs.

But Target and Walmart have a large amount of products in stock within an hour or so ready for pickup from small towns on up. That's not true for Amazon except in large cities. For most of the country, you still have to wait one or two days to pick it up if you order with Amazon.
Solving for demand means something like reversing the trend of disenfranchised people saying "fuck off to everything" [0]. How do you reverse alienation? Well, I can't purport to have the answer to that, but I can say that almost every popular political movement today is selling its own path to such a reversal (which, to be fair, they've been trying to sell for forever).

That said, two possible avenues imo would be to reduce criminal penalties for people who are only hurting themselves, and also to try to make the US healthcare model more efficient - to make it like what seems like every other country already has. Those are two spirals that seem to trap a lot of already-burdened people, that drive them either to misery or living in extremis.

Netflix should comply with the 90 Theatre window for some films, grand films that need huge screens for the best experience. I’m a subscriber, their subscription fee is so cheap compared to Sky it hardly registers.
I mainly watch TV shows not films on Netflix, I won’t leave if a few films a year are shown in Theatre first, I might even get of my backside and go to the cinema - if Netflix enables a decent film like Gravity to be produced - instead of the usual inane superhero nonsense.
I’m curious though, how does Netflix manage to spend so much money and produce so much crap?? Recently I’ve noticed myself watching more Amazon Prime, they seem to have a higher quality to volume ratio, they seem to get much more bang for their buck.

Undefined behavior is very useful, and Java doesn't replace it with anything better for high-performance CPU programming.

In particular, C loops can only be optimized because signed loop counters are assumed not to overflow. Java also doesn't have SIMD, and a very weak form of arrays as value types leads to pointer chasing.

Oh, this is so human. There were so many nations which used slaves. The Germans even made death camps to exterminate millions of people who had bad luck and had Jewish parents.

Now this. What will world do with this? Nothing at all. The, so called, western civilization countries, will still use this slave or children labor (but from Asian countries, so the locals won't bother). Most of the biggest German companies were using slave labor during the WW2. The USA is all built on the slavery and even now there are so many people still claiming that if someone is black then he should not be treated as human. They are even allowed to make a demonstration and repeat that in public without being arrested (which is understandable, as the police in USA treats white people in a different way than black, to whom they just shoot).

So I assume nothing will change. And I wouldn't be surprised if in a couple of years we will get even more information like harvesting organs from the China slaves and selling them to the rich white western citizens.

And now this comment will get lots of negative points almost without any discussion. I'm trying to get the prize for the most hated comment saying truth :)

The adblock probably blocks bloated ad scripts that slow down the browser and use up power.
These a company backed projects that portray themselves as open source while actually being nothing of the sort due to licensing.

It's a ruse. If MongoDB or CockroachDB for example want to describe their project as open source they should also act accordingly.
Java is not really safe from mistakes, if you type the wrong code you will still get the wrong program.

Older versions of Microsoft Windows don't understand the ipAddress SAN at all. Instead they parse the dnsName SANs as a generic text field into which you can write host names, IP addresses, or whatever you like. This was fixed in modern Windows (maybe Windows 7 onwards?)

As a result, and with enforcement never total, CAs would often issue non-compliant garbage for IP addresses because "it works on Windows". In the last few years this has improved as older Windows systems rust out and enforcement becomes more proactive.

1.1.1.1 is an example of how this should look.
I think that all these "happy meeting room" type of methods seem very biased towards extroverted people which feels like a bad idea and a major missed opportunity.

My main point is that its not a very good game. Anything about popularity is simply that survival games in general were ruined by minecraft’s popularity, in the same fashion that iphones ruined smartphones (all phones must now compare against it, and no phones can fall too far from it). But at least with iphones, it was actually a decent product to black hole around. But thats just how extreme popularity works. FF did it to jrpgs, FE did it to trpgs, cod did it to fps multiplayer, wow did it to mmos, dnd did it to tabletop rpgs, etc. In some cases they were genre-defining, but regardless, their impact on the genre lasts years, if not decades

But as long as we’re making arbitrary assumptions.. I don’t think I’ve ever actually met someone who “hated something because it was popular”, but I’ve met people who’ve accused it, and I’ve met people who think popularity implies quality, and I’m pretty sure there’s a correlation between the two, and I’ve currently got the feeling you’ve fallen prey to the same mistaken thinking.

But the to breaking that mindset with minecraft is this: multiplayer is a hack, that leads people to think a game is fun, when in fact its socialization thats fun, and the game is just a medium for it. The two are conflated, but I’m only trying to talk about the game.

You can take any game with little merit (see: habbo hotel, nearly any mmo, runescape, maplestory, most fps games, etc), add multiplayer to it, gather a community by external means (marketing, the natural social feedback loop, accessibility, etc), a semi-addictive feedback loop, and produce something that, years later, people will say: I had a lot of memories there, and it was great.

But it wasn’t great because the game was worth a damn in any sense a game is worth caring about. It was great because dealing with a group of friends in almost any situation can be made fun. Be it sports, games, drinking, causing trouble, working, etc.

You don’t need a good game to enjoy it, especially when its multiplayer. But simply being enjoyable is not sufficient to call it a good game (marvel films can keep your interest for two hours, but its difficult to argue that they’re good as films. They’re just good enough to talk about a little bit, and really only plot-wise, and kill two hours.)

Ofc, thats not to say multiplayer implies a game is bad. But it can certainly make up for it, by a long shot. It can be a really effective hack.

And to be clear, I had a lot of such good memories (runescape, maplestory, LoL, PoE were mine). But as games, they aren’t worth talking about. The primary value I derived from them was socialization, and an extension of that, economics/haggling. But in their own mechanics and styles, each had superior predecessors and successors, and were totally unnotable in that regard. But those other games weren’t where I had/made my friends.
