As a serious advocate of online user privacy I hesitate to point this out, but on a really important level there’s a difference between one’s privacy when it comes to one’s online browsing habits and one’s privacy when it comes to paparazzi photographs taken from the neighbor’s house and sold to the highest bidder.

The problem with this is that it could take decades to become dangerous. Maybe accumulation is a factor. Maybe interaction with other things is.

It's hard to assess, and I'd find it saner to assume ingesting regularly inorganic synthetic materials our body did't evolve with to be risky and take measure before we know for sure.

Even if it's just because of intertia: it took almost a century between knowing that asbestos was dangerous and ban. So let's not wait.

Google should just add a similar requirement in response. With this rule Apple is forcing their signup method to be taken up across all platforms (web, Android, iOS) because you can't only enable logging in with Apple on one platform.

If Google were to implement the same requirement, any cross platform app with Apple's login would also now have a Log in with Google button, making sure that Apple won't be getting any Oauth monopoly any time soon just to keep them in check.

Okay... I got hit with the shivers when the point came together at the end. Too much coffee today? Who knows. I think and read about this stuff quite seriously when I'm not burying my head in the sand about it. But this post got me on a spiritual level in a way that a lot of tech writing usually doesn't.

Aside, it's a very beautiful example of text that isn't babbling, rambling as it may be. Although now I wonder about a time when this level of elucidation might be arbitrarily generated in bulk by some ultra finely tuned blob of mathematical functions. Trained on human thoughts, of course. Maybe we're not all that far off.

I became acutely aware at various points while reading this of the powers of silence, listening, slang, poetry, signifying, innuendo, of knowing, of secret languages, of stories, curiosity, of music. Amongst others, these are deep gifts we have, and I take some comfort in remembering them.

My take: I'm fairly confident in saying I think this was written by an actual human.

I'm usually a little bashful about showing my music, but it was kinda uncanny how much I was reminded of an old song:

The start of a fire is a criminal investigation, not a root cause analysis. Billions of dollars are on the line, because different groups have to pay out depending on how/who started the fire.

In this case there was no criminal liability. That means all the fire insurance companies will have to pay out of their own pocket.

For other fires, PG&E was found liable for not maintaining their power lines. They will probably have to declare bankruptcy, because the fire insurance companies will all sue them to cover their payouts.

There is a different team that does RCA and puts in place new policies or proposes new regulations to prevent whatever caused the fire, but what you're seeing is the result of a criminal investigation (although they do work together in collecting evidence).
That sounds logical but it doesn't typically work like that. Instead you need to then do even more than get a bachelors degree.

Yeah, all the file tree view/list view stuff, shell namespace etc. etc. is implemented in shell32.dll, so we should probably compare with explorer.exe + shell32.dll. Everything else are basic widgets and OS interaction which clearly exists in both environments so shouldn't be counted.

And with that it is still only 4.27MB+6.81MB = 11.08MB on my system. So yeah, the bloat is real no matter how you look at it.

Ok I see what you're saying. But if you have learned something through practice, can't you validate it by researching / googling it? See what people are saying on stackoverflow, in blog posts, in books etc.? Also many university film and publish their lectures on youtube, i.e. Stanford Software Engineering course:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkMDCCdjyW8&list=PL3BD1325B3...

> But after years of good performance reviews, successful projects, and promotions, I started to finally allow myself to believe that I knew what I was doing.

Back to your original post, this kind of learning is FAR more valuable than anything you will learn in university. You have learned through practice and experience. I have probably interviewed at at ~20 different companies in the last 6 years and never once have I been asked a single question about my university degree, literally never. Nobody cares about them. They know that its the experience that counts, not the degree (though I'm not saying degrees are worthless either). In my experience I would say around 40% of the software developers I have worked with either do not have a degree at all or have a degree in a completed unrelated subject (i.e. Philosophy). The idea that one developer would discount another developer's idea because he doesn't have a degree in computer science is actually laughable.

Though I'm only saying all of that in order to tell you that a degree is not the answer to your imposter syndrome. The answer is to educate yourself, read books, experiment with different technologies and system architectures, read blog posts and discussions, watch conference talks, go to a conference, join slack channels and discuss topics with other developers. You should feel confident that you know what you're talking about because you have put the effort in to determine what the best solution is based off of research and practical experience, not because you paid hundreds of thousands of dollars (assuming your in the US) to have some guy tell you ideas about software engineering which are probably out of date anyway.

As an aside, Jon Ronson's podcast 'The Butterfly Effect' presents the same issue with porn videos; before streaming sites and SEO producers were free to name their videos as they wished but now they need to name them so they appeal to multiple sub-genres and fetishes and that's why we get 'Step Daughter Cheerleader Orgy Volume 4' rather than some play on Edward Scissor Hands.
You're right.

So many times I had a bad privacy consent experience while seeing their logo under it. Now I automatically associate Oath with that bad experience. I guess that's why I assumed Oath to be some privacy settings service similar to Trustarc.
Funny you should mention shoes - my wife was demoing making socks at our local mini Maker Faire last year. There is a small, but devoted community of people who use their machine shops to build modern versions of the antique hand-cranked knitting machines used to makes socks. She has a room full of them, and it is a great blend of modern tech, antique machines, and hand crafted goods that was perfect for a Maker Faire.

We're interested to see what fallout this has on such local gatherings, whether they will continue or not.
It might hurt if you add this extra variable to every loop and at some point the array length changes within the loop. It also makes the code more verbose. This optimisation should be done like all optimisations: first you benchmark and then see if it makes sense to make this change. Most of the time there's no point doing so.
Ur arguments are extreme. Apple does lock-in users and developers more than anyone else by enforcing rules and taking away/not implementing features, that's trivial for anyone who has an ios device to see. Agreed though, facebook and google also lock-in users by providing enough free services to users that they don't want to leave. That's a different level of coercion though.

> I find the idea that people who make mistakes don't deserve "comfortable lives" repulsive.

Some people don't share your attitudes, unfortunately. You can see this since they tried to make Wu's life as uncomfortable as possible, with no qualms whatsoever, all out of extremely fuzzy, purported "mistakes" on her part. Yes, Dale did finally issue a clear and complete apology so that issue was resolved to everyone's satisfaction, but let's be clear on how extremely rare that attitude is. Most conflicts tend to simmer because those who are in a losing position will never want to admit to themselves that they're losers, and change their ways - instead, they will keep behaving as "impossible dickheads", entirely by their own choice. Being naïve about this doesn't prevent or resolve conflict; it encourages more conflict since everyone sees how weak your reaction is to being bullied.
To be fair, when the dissociated gases recombined they would now likely have captured some neutrons, so it wouldn't be entirely without effect.

You'd likely end up emitting a lot of C-14 monoxide, which fantastically is both poisonous and radioactive.

I agree with a previous poster that the water electrolysis followed by the Bosch reaction would be a much more sensible approach. Of course it's unlikely that anybody will bother.

There is a counter-argument to git -- namely Sun had TeamWare[1] (the prequel to BitKeeper) and thus you could argue that git is still a "shoddy reimplementation". But this of course ignores the fact that TeamWare was almost completely unknown outside Sun until BitKeeper came along (at which point it was just an element of BitKeeper's history), and that git is objectively superior in many metrics to TeamWare.

Personally I think GCC, Apache, and nginx are much better counter-arguments.

that only opens the emoji picker, not a generic unicode picker.
IMO, they probably failed way before 100x expected usage. It was probably before 10x expected usage. This isn’t crazy. This is a problem that happens for a lot of teams dealing with scale. You engineer for 1x (checking off requirements) and anything over that tears everything to shreds. The difference between developing a solution on your local and hitting your PERF environment is massive. e.g. I can’t run a TB DB on my local, so... if I don’t see queries running in less that 10ms-100ms, I basically know that the queries are never going to complete in PROD. Scale is hard.
That is, if they know that “λ” is “lambda”, which honestly might not extend to many of the Greek letters, to say nothing of Unicode.

Security clearances. You can't even visit an aerospace company without being a US citizen or getting special clearance from the government.
Writing a self-hosting compiler for Inko
This is great advice. Another related issue I see is when you engineer a new feature that can't always be 100% accurate because the source data is spotty but you intuitively think the new festure should help the classifier anyway when it is present. And if the new feature's feature importance in the trained model turns out really high, you think you've done something great. But in the end you made model that simply detects the presence of your new feature which you knew wasn't 100% accurate anyway because the source data it is derived from is spotty. So you've accomplished precisely nothing.
Looks promising. Is there a demo somewhere, even only a video on YouTube?

Some Real News About Fake News
Why do you think that if I say that "never forgive, never forget" is a harmful attitude, I only mean it towards the people who share your opinion about the issue? I think it's a harmful attitude all across the board, on all "sides" of every conflict. I strongly disagree that trying to de-escalate emotions "encourages more conflict".

It's perfectly possible, and much more constructive, to write that you think this Dale is a dickhead without "never forgive" and without denying him a "comfortable life".

Bullies are not going to stop bullying because someone on the internet thinks they don't deserve a comfortable life. At the same time, perpetrating the idea that mistakes ought to haunt people for the rest of their lives, that forgiveness is a weakness, is actively harmful and makes culture more hateful. Plus, you're making a discussion more inflammatory to absolutely nobody's benefit.
> I don’t care to know a user’s true identity, I just want to ensure that the same person can’t use the system to trivially create unlimited new anonymous accounts on my system.

People can and have been trivially creating “unlimited new anonymous accounts” by creating new and multiple email accounts on Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Protonmail, Tutanota and many other “free e-mail” providers. Unless you have a list of all “free” email providers around the world and are blocking them, this stand against Apple doesn’t make sense to me.

I made no such assertion. I’m made no comments that attempted to ignore the differences that exist between different belief systems, nor made any comments that said you couldn’t qualitatively differentiate them. Simply that you can’t use the truth as the basis of that differentiation. All belief systems, whether they’re a belief in science as a source of truth, or a religion as a source of truth, are based on assertions that cannot be proven, and are therefor all equally unprovable. This is a perfectly rational equivalence, and doesn’t present a fallacy on any level. If you were more intellectually humble this might be easier for you to accept, but as it stands, you are no different from anybody else who chooses to reject the limits of their knowledge.

Um, wtf? So, they're now bypassing user choice on DNS in order to send your domain lookups to Cloudflare and this is supposed to be security?

From https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1529437 it says "[QA:] We have finished testing ... GREEN - SHIP IT" and "signed version [...] for release". Does that mean it went mainstream and is now a browser default?

I see a preference name "network.trr.uri" with a cloudflare URL used for "dns-query" ... that looks bad?

Edit: just found this from Mozilla

"We are currently exploring what the right testing approach should be with users who have opted to participate by using Firefox Nightly." (from Senior Dir. for Eng., https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/20/mozilla_firefox_tes...)

Mozilla's official line is that they consider using nightly as an opt in to send all your DNS requests to a third-party.

Now come on, no-one at Mozilla believes that is true to users expectations.
But..but..RICH UI!!
Burning a build CD wasn’t anything special, the PS1 dev kits read normal CDs (didn’t have the copy protection). Burning of any CD was flaky back in the day (lack of decent buffering)
Mozilla do too though, for example for Hello, or Pocket? They also have an advert for Firefox Mobile on desktop browsers. So Mozilla's ads are clearly de minimis in comparison, but they don't disagree on the prinicple of targeting ads to users (even after they've expressed a preference to receive no advertising).
Moreover, if (as customary in all technology) you build systems upon these systems, even the low malfunction probabilities will multiply into nearly assured failures. With a system you understand you can find the cause and fix the issue for all: this what allows us to build ever more complex systems over decades of engineering R&D.

But for a system you don't understand you are at whim of cascading patterns of errors in underlying behavior.
There's been some of talk of trying to own the "maker" space rather than fostering "maker" spaces. I suppose that's part of the problem.

I subscribed to Make for a few years in the late aughts but let my subscription lapse because I stopped having time to tinker. It was a great medium to learn until it wasn't.

I suppose many events coalesced over the years leading to its shuttering

- proliferation of YouTube DIY

- shuttering of print media and electronics stores

- cost decrease of prefab devices

- cost decrease in means of production

- bundled kits

- "democratization" of means of production (3d printing, etc)

- Make attitude shift from "hacking" to selling you shit / custom brands

This sucks for the maker community and Make folks but is a serious win for anyone still soldering on or trying to foster the hacker / maker mentality.
True, and in practice most copyright holders who release their work under the GPL feel similarly. However, in general a copyright holder is under no obligation to accept such a settlement, and in principle if you distribute GPLed work without conforming to the GPL terms then you are liable for statutory damages (in the US, $50k for accidental infringement and $150k for wilful infringement, per act of infringement) just like for any other act of copyright infringement.
