> If anything I see this whole thing being beneficial for the web in the long run - now instead of MS engineers pissing their time and effort down the drain on a dead browser and needlessly fragmenting the market with engine differences, even if people don't use the default Windows browser Microsoft's engineers can contribute to and benefit the web by contributing their improvements upstream to the Chromium/Blink/V8 projects.

This is absolutely spot on. Keep in mind that Microsoft's EdgeHTML team went as far to almost declare that any difference from Chrome is a bug that Microsoft intends to fix. I mean I get it if Edge was free and open source, there would be some value in seeing reimplementation of a browser that is compatible with Chrome but I doubt making Edge free and open source was ever in the works (I think, I am not sure if Edge was actually a clean slate. It might just have been removing "bad" code from IE tbh). I simply don't understand why we should mourn Edge when the Edge team pretty much says any difference from Chrome is a bug.
Without analyzing it too much this seems to be a perfect visualization of the mathematics of music theory. The lengths of string become quite a direct metaphor for the wavelengths of notes on the music scale, and seeing them move together in progressively different "groups" of notes I imagine closely matches traditional chord structures in different keys.

Quite mesmerizing, and mathematically satisfying at the same time!
> ...containers*scalable, etc...
Depends on your domain. Say you are containerizing nodes sharing KVM hypervisor resources with full VMs. The container application in use is resident on a file served backend, heavily dependent on SQL RDB for input, result outputs to file and db and application programmed using MPI via openmp. Processing is in real time and time sensitive.

One size doesn't fit all. Containers are web tier solutions. They require too many compromises and work for a truly global solution.

> Microsoft has hardly offered much as far as competition and diversity goes since IE6, basically the only web "innovations" they're responsible for is a bunch of IE-specific APIs that didn't work in any other browser.

I don't have much love for MS, but this is just wrong.

XMLHttpRequest, the precursor to fetch, pretty much allowed "web 2.0" to exist. Now we use fetch, but they introduced it first.

box-sizing: border-box, a much better way to reason about the CSS box model, is almost always introduced as "the way Internet Explorer had always done things in older versions and quirks mode." Surely its existence in IE (and the experience people had w/ CSS there, preferring its box model) had some historical weight in this property coming about?

Lastly, and something still not standardized: setImmediate. Lots of libraries currently have to polyfill this with MessageChannel, postMessage, and other hacks. Clearly there's high demand for it.

This move is actually genius by Microsoft. They will negate the need to install Chrome on Windows. Microsoft will gain control of the browser market.

Highly impractical, it would probably not work. You'd probably end up needing to bury a series of tubes under ground to transport it around, and how would that work? no one knows!
I took from your original comment an assertion that buy shipping rates on SFP orders were better than rates on non-SFP orders. If that wasn't the implication then there's no specific incentive for SFP over MF as far as shipping rates go.
> it wants all the engagement

This. From my user perspective, a good website is one that gives me the information that I need, when I need it, in minimum necessary time. From ad-driven websites's perspective, a good user is one that visits the website as often as possible, and stays as long as possible; also provides all kinds of personal data (in ideal case, also on other people).

Problem is, even if I turn off the ads, I cannot turn off the design decisions that were influenced by the ads. Such as, pages trying to make you click on more pages, long descriptions where a short one would do, multiple articles containing essentially the same information, articles with partial information (which don't get updated, because a new article gets written instead), etc.
In some ways you describe Islam but then again you could be describing Christianity. Just a smug observation from an agnostic.
"Filter Bubbles" are a real phenomenon to be wary of, particularly for something like YouTube that aggressively suggests videos and autoplays by default or Facebook that injects stories into your news feed. I think what the article misses on that front is not that users don't have access to other sources, but they're passively spoon fed stories that reinforce their beliefs.

But I'm not convinced this expands to Search. Search algorithm implementations are enough of a nebulous black box that it makes for a convincing story, and Duck Duck Go has been shamelessly spinning that FUD for advertising, but the claims don't really stand up to scrutiny.
have you tried dust yet?
What is “iDweeb?”
already have this problem. we order a lot via amazon, and it's not uncommon to get a package from both UPS and the amazon "gig" delivery folks.
Yeah... an acid test for these things is often, "what are you telling me not to do?"

In my encounters with design thinking, the controversial "don't" has actually been frequent, iterative release. For some folks, design thinking is a defense of a "measure twice, cut once" waterfall-y approach to product development.

That might make a lot of sense for some things, like physical consumer products, where a ton of branding and manufacturing go into each release. I think it's a bad idea for most software, where the ease of distribution means that you can learn from your market much more dynamically.

This article is attacking a strawman, defining filter bubble extremely narrowly.
Structured process towards coming up with plans and decisions on actions that provides improved outcomes.

I've been a part of several Design Thinking workshops, and they always go better than workshops in other formats in my experience.
The problem is this: HTML (+CSS) is supposed to be a standardized and recommendable format for publishing rich text with the expectation that it can be rendered for a long time to come. But if only a single browser will be able to display it, this not only questions the longevity claim, but also questions the whole web stack. New CSS specs can't be reviewed and proven with independent implementations, and web specs will, even more so than they already do, become "whatever Chrome does".

This is a terrible and fatal result for the web as we know it. Because why would we continue the practice of creating baroque, power-inefficient web frontends with JavaScript and the browser stack monstrosity when we're essentially targetting a single browser? We could as well use a much leaner and lighter GUI framework designed for the purpose, and a saner language.

What did we really expect from the way so-called web standards are created? WHATWG (who write the HTML5 specs and call this a "standard") pride themselves in creating a "living standard" where nothing ever is locked down, and ECMA has put itself up to creating yearly JavaScript updates (after the language has stagnated for 15 years). W3C creates an enormous amount of CSS specs and has said goodbye to versions/levels and profiles a long time ago. The result is that there is no reasonable spec as an implementation target for browser development. Those in the game have closed the door behind them.

Firefox has, unfortunately, a shrinking user base, is financially dependent on Google, and might suffer from problematic incentives in the future.

The web is in tatters.

It's just a structured process. I find engineers are the ones that often benefit the most in Design Thinking workshops, or sessions, or whatever it is you call them.

What would otherwise be some roadblocked, upset situation with several engineers feeling like they aren't being heard, ends up somehow moving forward through discussion.

At least in my experience, which may be uncommon.

Windows Subsystem for Linux review
I don't think they want control over the browser market, just the browser users on Windows. People are less likely to ditch Edge if it is more compatible with the way Chrome and Safari work (including the ability to run Chrome extensions). That means they have more visibility and control over those users.

Heh, it’s not even true. There’s lots of security related roles that let you play “cyber operations” (aka “cowboys and idians”).
The times I've been a part of it, it's been in time boxed proof of concept situations where you're outlining a customer's desire, and then coming up with solutions for it, then delivering on them with an iterative process.

It's worked out better than any other process I've been apart of, but it may just be some other factor than it's value. The companies that were open and interested in using it, were often... of a generally higher quality of talent, and perhaps better outcomes is natural no matter what process is used.
This is not what’s filter bubble is, it’s a subset of the broader idea.
over time, several flaws in the language have been pointed out, and proposals to fix them, as well as alternate approaches to an auxiliary language have been made.

and while it can be said that esperanto was not yet able to appeal to the majority, it is wildly more successful than any other attempt.

why is that?

why have none of the alternatives even made it out of the experimental stage?

with any of the well meant proposals in this discussion, it is important to understand what would make those proposals succeed. (and by succeed i mean at first reach a speaker-base that equals that of esperanto)

i believe that the results up to now indicate that the quality of the language is not the issue.

esperanto is like python 2, but in a world where everyone prefers to use php.

or is it?

are the flaws in esperanto what's holding back further growth? do we need to start from scratch, and go through the painful stages of initial growth esperanto has already been through?
A reason why I don't like this approach is that I have to know where an element goes when creating it.

I prefer creating an element and then moving it into place, so a module of my application can create some structure in isolation.

Good elaboration.

You could say defendability is implied by uniqueness. Once it is copied it is no longer unique. Better to have it spelled out though.

I used the word ‘toward’ to hint that there is no perfect market fit. One can only continually improve toward the ideal, which also keeps changing. I think we largely agree. :)

AFAIK there was no on-screen keyboard, so you would not have been able to do things like enter filenames and such with only a mouse.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, I was having serious doubts if my question made any sense at all, as there were no replies.

Could you please talk about the kind of documentation you wrote? Was it always for the products that your company developed - was it end user manuals or docs for programmers? I am not sure exactly what I want to write, but at this point I am leaning towards writing for programmers (as it is more technically rewarding) than end users. I am also interested in articles like the priceonomics blog - data analysis and commentary.

It is disheartening to learn that after a decade your salary was capped at mid 70K. This is not the case with programming, I can assure you. Good luck with your transition - programming definitely can be (and it usually is) stressful, but it is more rewarding compared to a lot of other careers. I'm done with stress, that is why I am looking at other options.
The commentary was relevant to the article, which was about the user guide and to whom it may have been targeted at the time.

The commentary is on topic for a thread about product advertising. Consider what an Apple product page looks like today.
I really hate to make generalizations about either side tanking the integrity of the news, but I’m at the point of total over saturation for believing the left’s cries about doomsday being around the corner. I just emotionally and mentally have a hard time accepting it. It’s been more than 2 years (nearly 3?) of this type of nonsense.

All our allies will turn on us. We will be engaged in more and more wars. The economy will rank, jobs will disappear, and every social benefit we’ve built over the last century will be eradicated. That’s all I’ve heard since Trump got on our radar. And so far I look around and none of it’s come to pass.

It’s the boy who cried wolf. Maybe the economy will take a nose dive. Maybe. But I’m done investing myself in the major reporting channels. They’ve demonstrated to me that being accurate or reflective isn’t even an afterthought for them. They’d rather stir the pot for financial gain and then absolve themselves of responsibility. Not a behavior I’m going to invest my beliefs into any further.

Even if you buy in bulk (assuming you have a car). My usual approach is to stock up on kitchen towels, detergents, etc. every few months when I’m starting to run low. I’ve priced out Amazon a couple of times and pricing seemed rather variable depending on the SKU. Easier just to do a run to Walmart/Target/etc.

Here is something ethicists could analyze that would really help convince me that they are taking it seriously: given the cost, the years from your life, the job prospects, and the success percentage, is it ethical to accept someone as a doctoral student specializing in ethics? Maybe they could study different universities and see which make the cut and which don't.

I agree that skeptics are persecuted so if I see group that ought to be skeptics but no one is trying to persecute them, I wonder.
Considering what we inflicted on wolves (Pugs being one notable example), your characterization might not be a terrible definition for "dogfooding".
Transmission loses 1-2%, batteries lose maybe 5%. Compare that to 30% losses for an ICE, above generator losses.
Whoops, I just realized that I failed to qualify that statement properly. CasADi [https://web.casadi.org/], released in 2013, uses adjoint sensitivities to compute gradients through ODE solutions using symbolic (but still reverse-mode) differentiation.

I should have said something like: We were the first to implement adjoint sensitivities in a modern, tracing-based autodiff framework suitable for machine learning [HIPS autograd]. But I messed up and should have given credit to Joel Andersson for being first, my apologies.
> It's also possible your solution wasn't as elegant, maintainable, or as performant in all cases as you thought.

That usually doesn't result in being called to HR and asked to remove everything from one's computer.
It's pointing out the mindshare and impact that Chrome has.
Games like SimCity, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft are good examples where the experience of "playing" isn't necessarily about translating the game from an "initial" state to "end" or "win" one.

I think the parent comment makes a good point that if you do define games as the mentioned, this and a few other things certainly doesn't necessarily fit with the definition. Still, games are often a fill-in word for many interactive things that use a computer.
The big problem with this approach is the password. You need some sort of password on the watch to make it secure.

Now where is it going to be easier to enter a good, secure, password? A six inch phone? Or on a tiny watch screen?

It would be nice if my watch could unlock my phone I guess. But I have a hard time seeing how it would be more secure than the reverse that’s currently true.

At least until we get “WristID” that uses the pattern of blood vessels under where my watch sits on my wrist.

> but I suspect OP is another ethno-nationalist that perceives grievance against them for any and all actions.

It might be more subtle than that. I know some Chinese nationals who report that their culture is to defend the in-group against criticisms in front of an out-group even if they themselves think the criticisms are true. To not do so is a kind of betrayal. This applies to groups as small as a family up to the whole country.

For instance, that cultural attitude were at least part of the fuel for this controversy: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-40013486

I hear this often (that trolley problem is not relevant), but then I discovered that a lot of realistic ML fairness problems can be restated as a trolley problem.

You have a classifier for credit assignment (giving a loan, etc.). The classifier is 99% accurate on the entire population. The classifier is 55% accurate on a small minority. You can improve the minority accuracy to 90% at the cost of 0.3% decrease of general accuracy. What do you do?

For self-driving: Your accident rate is 0.0001% for the entire population. Your accident rate is 0.0003% for black pedestrians at night. You can allocate more compute/research/resources to equalize the accident rate of black pedestrians at the cost of increasing accident rate for the entire population to 0.00011% (or keeping it constant where you may have seen an improvement if you focused on the general population). What do you do?
I looked at the intro page for Pennylane project, and it went completely over my head. I'm a ML person, can you tell me how can quantum computation help me, or why would I want to consider it? For example, would I be able to train my neural networks faster on a quantum computer? What's the point?
Well, you can differentiate through the operations of ODE solvers written in any framework that has autodiff. But the whole idea of adjoint sensitivity analysis is to not differentiate through the operations of the solver, to save memory and to control numerical error more directly.
Take what I say with a grain of salt, I'm not a cryptographer.

It's my understanding the onion routing (what went where) could be cracked since it uses public key. The data itself may be fine because it uses private key, but if you sent the private key using a public key then you may be burned (IIRC there's a protocol where you send the symmetric key using public key crypto then fall back to private key since it's faster)
For this analogy to hold you'd need the 8th ball thread x4 longer than the first, which is very far from the actual ratios used.
