Thanks for making me feel old.

I really think of Wikipedia as part of the "new" internet, not the old one. Now, get off of my lawn, you whippersnappers!

Almost everything.

Access does not have granular security, fault tolerance, auditing, or a couple dozen other features that one would expect in a modern database.
I think those people are doing it wrong but tbh you can't blame them given then quality of instruction available. Another case of knowing a little is more dangerous than knowing nothing at all.
If you see people expressing an opinion that’s useful for the rich and powerful, it’s appealing to imagine that the people expressing that opinion are shills. But I think saying such out loud lowers the quality of discourse. If we go around accusing one people we disagree with of being shills, we aren’t learning or participating in an exchange of ideas, which is the point of a discussion forum like this.

There’s a perfectly sound explanation for those posts that seem “shillish”: sincerely held beliefs that are different from yours. I think fanboyism and ideology motivate a lot more people to argue on the internet than money. If you want proof of this, look at all the teeming masses arguing for all sorts of causes that the rich and powerful don’t care about.
Why should he feel obligated to raise someone else's kids if he doesn't want to? I'm not understanding the "damaged goods" part of your comment.
The nice thing about google is that it cuts across all subreddits, so if you're looking for something specific there's a good chance you'll find a real, honest opinion about it.
This is 10 years ago, so unfortunately I don’t remember details about discussions I never got going. Some were able to argue for their favourite interpretation of QM, or rather, how to resolve the measurement problem, but I mostly got blank stares when I tried to probe a bit more about the ontology.

One of the reasons I left academia was that I never found the intellectual and curios environment I longed for. The successful people were successful mostly because they knew how to write grant proposals and which committees they should be on, not because they did really interesting science.
Depends on the law - nobody disapproves of people driving at the legal speed limit, or filing your taxes at the last minute.

One more interesting example of XML based GUI system that avoids most of the problems listed above is HaxeUI. The same way as Qt it solves them using compile time code generation.

Accessing objects from code is not a problem due to compile time code generation, no findById just access the field. Due to the powerful macro system in Haxe you even get in code autocomplete for objects defined in xml before running compilation.

For code reuse it allows easy way of defining custom widget classes based on xml file and using custom widgets in xml file.

In my experience with Qt bloat usually comes from graphical editors that add unnecessary properties you wouldn't have set in code or GUI systems that don't support creating reusable subcomponents.
> The problem with linearity is that the time to return the correct position grows exponentiality with the size of the dataset and of the position of the value to be found;

I don't this is quite true.
I'm not an expert on the market or anything, so just my two cents.

But for a while, GoPro had fairly explosive growth, in my perspective anyway. But after some time they stopped really innovating and some other brands with cheaper products but similar quality began getting some traction. So GoPro kind of dropped the ball. I think they've been getting better again the past year though.

But again, not a market expert; this is just what I can remember seeing and reading about.

Private schools could be outlawed. Rich parents who want their children to go to better schools can donate to their city's public education budget.

Most of the social problems stemming from capitalism center around the fact that having money gives you and yours disproportionate opportunities for improving your socioeconomic position even more, ad infinitum. Cut out that circular effect wherever possible, and you approach a level playing field.
Call me a Scrooge but my read is rather that whoever wins will piss off the opposite side, who will blame social media like they did in 2016, and there is no scenario where twitter doesn't ends up the target of more regulations unless they stay away from the elections as far as they can.

This will not help with trolls and viral campaigns though.
'CRM' stands for Customer Relationship Management, and in a sentence is usually short for 'a CRM app'. CRMs are what folks use to keep track of their relationship with a given client. E.g. when you call your bank, the person at the other end knows your info, what happened last call, etc. That's because of the CRM.

Lots of solo-entrepreneurs struggle with CRMs, because the existing solutions are geared for large corporations or specialty verticals (e.g. healthcare, banking). Formerly, singletons used solutions like Access and FileMaker, but these are obviously deprecated in 2019 for all the usual reasons, some of which are good.

OP has created a general-purpose CRM fit for solopreneurs. I'd throw down right away for this if I wasn't worried about what happens to my data if this offering disappears, which is the Usual Problem with SaaS and one not really addressed by this product (nor is it reasonable to expect it to be.)
> The problem with linearity is that the time to return the correct position grows exponentiality with the size of the dataset and of the position of the value to be found

No, the time required for linear search does not grow exponentially. It doesn't even grow quadratically. It grows linearly.

UI debuggers haven't changed much from over the years, the Smalltalk-80 debugger looked somewhat similar, if I remember correctly. Wirth just came back from Xerox, and that had a lasting influence on his later work.

> But to be fair, the current state of gender relations is all men's fault.

My current plan is to make sure more males until the age of eighteen, at least, are raised and taught by women. Getting more women in the education and childhood development process early will close the critical gap we have in ensuring boys learn (from an actual woman!) the right way to interact with and treat women. When that happens, it won't be mysterious to men when they experience cooperation and authority coming from a feminine perspective.

It's about time we stopped having only men raise and teach every generation of men. Women have much to offer here too.

EDIT: I suppose English does need an irony mark. I was riffing on "all men's fault", which clearly discounts female involvement in culture and morality.
I agree in part. However, there is an advantage to the same boring designs being popular: they're actually readable. Some Tumblr themes in my experience are more of an artsy flex rather than a conscious, well thought out design. E.g. small text, low contrast, links that move, the menu being in any number of places. This isn't exclusive to Tumblr - I remember many horrible MySpace sites that were nigh impossible to read.

At least Tumblr has an archive view that doesn't throw you visual curve balls.
Maybe he should keep to writing books and making YouTube video. The guy has no clue whatsoever when it comes to political matters. It's depressing.

This isn't feasible for a large chunk of the population, mainly because ISPs like Comcast love to give you 500 mbps down while limiting your upload to a pitiful 10 mbps.

> What I wish we could bring back is usenet and/or mailing lists.

Let's shoot for a more feasible goal: bring back Gmane.org and let web forums federate to it if they so choose, not just mailing lists. That's the closest we can get to what the old Usenet was like.
I must have read your post three times and still thought you said "and XML". I'm sorry.
One crucial difference is whether you can opt-out. Another big difference is the stated intention of the party/entity: i.e. Apple is not a company "of the people, by the people, and for the people".

My objection is that it's not that useful to only look at whether a party wants to restrict freedom. Personally, I don't think that's a very useful dimension at all -- I don't consider the existence of a road limiting to my freedom to drive wherever I feel like it.
That restriction on governments was made alongside the granting of many exclusive rights which corporations do not have.
It's far easier and less controversial to decide what is and isn't political than to decide what is or isn't true.

>Even in these cases, 1A does not allow the government to prevent such speech (that is, prior restraint). These are not criminal issues. If you engage in any of these practices you may be liable for civil judgments, but that's the extent of it.

That's incorrect. There exist many statutes that criminalize certain commercial speech. And 15 states have criminal libel laws on the books. SCOTUS hasn't ruled that criminal liable laws generally violate the 1st amendment even though they have overturned many examples in the past.

And there is no general prohibition against criminalizing speech that isn't protected by the first amendment such as fraudulent or illegal commercial speech.

Ahh, the topic of word squares! Let me start by saying this: If you find this sort of thing even remotely interesting, you owe it to yourself to immediately order Making The Alphabet Dance (https://www.amazon.com/Making-Alphabet-Dance-Recreational-Wo...) one of the best references on recreational wordplay (another good source to consult is the journal Word Ways, https://digitalcommons.butler.edu/wordways/). Ross Eckler has a whole chapter on this topic alone, the following tidbits are taken from there:

Eckler states that the modern history of word squares (following in the footsteps of the SATOR square) started with the following one, published in 1859:

CIRCLE
ICARUS
RAREST
CREATE
LUSTRE
ESTEEM

This is called a single word square, same words appearing in both horizontal and vertical directions. When these are different it's called a double word square, which are much are harder to construct.

Here's a six-square:

RACISM
EVINCE
PERSON
ASCENT
STUCCO
TASTER

Here's a nine-square, with all words from the OED, published in 1993:

WORCESTER
OVERLARGE
RECOINAGE
CROSSTIED
ELISIONAL
SANTONATE
TRAINAGES
EGGEATERS
REEDLESSE

Constructing a 10-square using all words from a single language's dictionary has not been successful so far (who knows, with the new word additions to the OED...) Wikipedia calls this " the Holy Grail of logology" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_square#Order_10_squares)

And then he goes on to discuss word cubes! An n-cube contains n words repeated three times each and n(n-1)/2 words used six times each, it has a total of 3n^2 words. And yes, people have extended the idea to hypercubes.
Yes. For all intents and purposes they went away. And there are mostly no equivalent discussion boards (beyond narrow mostly invite only mailing lists) that allow only the sort of people (for better or worse) who had access to the relatively early Internet. Some large companies, students and staff at elite universities, and so forth.

Mind you it wasn’t perfect. But people tended to be posting under their own names associated with institutions. And the masses were kept out if they were even aware.
I think one of the complaints about Flash was it was very cpu intensive! It would not even work on the earlier iPhones - one of the reasons it died. The recent threads about Flash go into further detail.
> You have to enter the exact name of the website to find it on Google. MayVaneDay is also mirrored on I2P, TOR, and Dat...You have to look really hard for them now, and the best way to find them is through links from similar small websites

Without getting into the argument of whether Google deliberately makes these sites hard to find, it doesn't really support the author's thesis that the old Internet was any better, at least in the case of MayVaneDay. In the early 90s, how else would you have found it except "through links from similar small websites"?

> I miss the internet of the early 1990's, back before the World Wide Web had been visited by more than just a few computer geeks, back when websites like Vane's were the internet. Don't get me wrong, many cool things can be found on the internet today. But, the voice of individuals has mostly been drowned out...

This feels incredibly myopic. The Internet of those days were limited to the extreme minority of people who were aware of the Internet and had access to a connected computer, nevermind took the time to figure out how to create for it. The author derides Facebook and Reddit as being too "easily monitored and controlled" to allow for individual voices but that's utter bullshit. The modern Internet is far from perfect, but the diversity and quantity (and arguably, quality) of voices is far better than when the Internet catered mostly to college-age kids and academics, i.e. people with access to free, high-speed Internet portals.

I don't miss the old Internet because it never went away, at least the part that interests me the most and that's communities. Forums are still online and they seem to be doing just fine. Even IRC is still active.

What I miss is contextual advertising. You went to a video games site and all ads where relevant. Ads used to be informative and interesting. These days they're irrelevant, annoying and indifferent.

And I certainly don't miss the dial-up days when depending on the time of the day you might had to redial a dozen times to get a connection, and your bandwidth was a mere 28.8 Kbps which seems ridiculous by today standards.
Good to see this. Look forward to seeing TV and print media ban political ads as well

I see the same thing with selfies on vacations - at Machu Picchu, the Scottish Highlands, Iceland, Florence - people spending the entirety of their visit to some tourist spot trying to get the perfect selfie, to the exclusion of nearly everything else.

Yes, I also carry a camera and take a lot of photos, but I don't run off the tour bus or out of the car, in an effort to get a shot before anybody else gets there (various waterfalls in Iceland). Nor do I get verbally abusive when people wander into a shot, which I encountered repeatedly at Machu Picchu.

I don’t think reducing the value of men or women to their reproductive traits is a healthy outlook.

Additionally, the same technology level that could make men reproductively useless could do the same for women. In reality, neither will happen.
I could see lesbian parenting becoming more common with greater social acceptance.

Single or cohabiting though? As a recent parent, I doubt it. Raising children remains extremely challenging, and significantly easier if you have a committed partner for it. There's no way my wife would be able to go on, say, a 10-day business trip to Laos or a 3-day industry conference if I weren't holding down the fort at home, or for that matter able to get to the gym tonight if I weren't picking our son up from daycare, taking him to gymnastics and cooking dinner for him.

How a couple chooses to split up the labor in their relationship is their business, but the fact that there's more than enough labor for a couple isn't going to change regardless of technology.

Do they preclude using e.g. NTFS (case preserving but insensitive) in your project for that reason? NTFS vs. ext4 has exactly the same kind of issues (and it has in fact caused security issues in cross-platform software.

Regardless, this does not preclude the use of Nim any more than a regulation saying "do not use preprocessor macros" preclude C because you might accidentally use #define. It just means you have to verify that you adhere to those regulations. Here's one tool[0] you can use to make sure your unconditional requirements are satisfied.

Nim would probably be precluded anyway based on age and popularity, and rightly so for tightly regulated industries -- but given some time, assuming it does grow in popularity, there is no inherent reason Nim would be precluded from any project that allows e.g. C++, Java, JavaScript or Go.
