I think a lot of people do take issue with things that call themselves "news" promoting one side of the ideological spectrum.

That being said, social media is just that: something users can post to. Twitter users were not hired to promote a particular point of view, they were invited to share their own point of view. To then go through and cull the people you invited to share based on ideology while still calling yourself a social media platform is where a lot of the complaints (rightfully) come from.
My GPs in France would see me for at least 30 minute each time, taking great care to check everything. It was quite a shock when I arrived in the UK and my GP would show me the door after 10 minutes.

The downside is that the French GP will never take you on time for your appointment, but you will feel that you are taken care of, unlike in the UK system.

I came once just for a quick health check before start a new sport, and I got an electro-cardiogram (to check for heart murmur, for free obviously), simply because I never had one in my life. They will often ask if your vaccinations are in order, how do you feel, things like that.
Paged through some and found an article on Speech Recognition [0]:

Most interesting sentence: "Currently, it is not likely that such techniques would be used for domestic surveillance."

Philosophical Issues
The specter of Big Brother may not be of concern in
Western society today, but the evolution of distributed
intelligence among machines with speech-recognition
capability certainly provides the technical base for
monitoring our activities. In fact, the U.S. National
Security Agency has developed what may be the world's most
advanced speech-recognition algorithms. This system spots
keywords in intercepted verbal transmissions from
"unfriendly" nations. Currently, it is not likely that
such techniques would be used for domestic surveillance.
But speech technologists as well as the public must be
aware of the potential loss of privacy.

Where did you learn about modern building best-practices? I just bought my first single-family home and am excited to slowly transform it into a comfortable-and-efficient modern building. But I'm finding it a little difficult to penetrate this new-to-me space and would love to find some more-complete resources.

My random web-crawling has certainly been moderately productive, but it's slow and I can't help but feel that I'm not being adequately exposed to a reasonable breadth of topics.

That's less and less of a concern: firstly, there are far far fewer adoptions this century due to both acceptance of being a single parent and because of access to abortion and birth control. Secondly, it won't be long before every adopted child learns about DNS testing in school and as soon as they are of age (or can fake ID) they will find relatives [Source: have volunteered in the field].

This will lead very quickly to no more anonymous adoptions. I'm in favour of open adoption as studies have shown it's healthier for the child but that's my own personal bias outside of the technology.

Edit : DNA testing...

This particular case could be a couple tables in a database. To follow proper encapsulation guidelines, it would have to be front-ended by some stored procedures, so that the underlying representation is free to change.

How would you roll out this change to production? If you just swapped out tables and stored procedures, you'd have downtime. You can't just install a parallel table and stored procedures, because there is no way to tell all of the consumers to use the v2 of your functions. So you'd have to temporarily remove availability of the WorkingDays functionality.

If it were deployed as a microservice, you are free to deploy a v2 of WorkingDays in parallel. When it's live, the old one goes away, and there is no loss of availability.
You're talking about 3 things.

1: whether or not the leak is selective, we don't know. Given it was a sealed doc in a lawsuit vault, it might not be that selective, and it very much looks like they may not even be the people who leaked it.

2: the morality of the app was never the topic.

3: Facebook has been doing switch & bait for too many years, even with one's own data. See https://ruben.verborgh.org/facebook/ for more details on this. It's the same story as Twitter: yes, come, develop apps, spread our influence, then board up all the resources. This needs to stop, both from an anti-trust perspective and with developer awareness.
Isn't it more likely that the author chose Facebook, Google, and Twitter not because they're left-leaning, but because their traffic is vastly more significant than The Federalist? The three are all top-50 sites globally. The Federalist doesn't even make it into the top 10k.

It's pretty rational to focus more on the sites that have the most traffic when discussing bias, isn't it?

That's not an issue with reddit - moderators are not paid, nor is reddit responsible for them - and when users subscribe in a sub, the contract is that they 'll abide by moderation rules and downvoting rules. That's not corporate censorship. The problem is when the company itself starts censoring what the users have voluntarily subscribed to read.
I don't quite disagree with your conclusion, but some of your supporting points don't really support it.

> If any of those filesystems were truly adequate there wouldn't have to be so many.

Diversity is not bad. Different filesystems can have different design points, e.g. read-heavy vs. write-heavy workloads, optimized for different kinds of media, realtime requirements (traditionally an XFS strength) etc. That's a good thing. What's a problem is that there are too many filesystems trying to be all things to all users of a too-general API, and too many FS developers competing with each other on long-irrelevant microbenchmarks instead of making useful progress.

> Microsoft's failure

...is Microsoft's.

> Recently ... pwrite, pread

Those have been standardized since 1998, and I'm pretty sure I remember them existing on some systems before that. The fact that they're not recent is IMO the real problem. There have been attempts to create useful new abstractions such as the setstream API from CCFS[1], but they're too few and rarely gain traction.

Personally, I think local filesystems need to adapt in a bunch of ways to be a better substrate for higher-level applications - including but not limited to distributed filesystems. OTOH, I don't think putting complex transactions at that level is a good choice. There's enough innate complexity there already. Adding transactions there just increases inertia, and if filesystems offered better control over ordering/durability the transaction parts could be implemented in a layer above.

As a solo bootstrapping technical founder, I am in LOVE with Heroku.

My product is single-tenant, which can be tough infrastructure-wise since each app/customer needs a cluster of servers and services (Postgres and RabbitMQ). The Heroku pipelines enables me to have a testing app, staging app, and when I want to push staging to production, I can push the code to all my single-tenant production apps with the push of a button.

In theory I could do this with Bitbucket or Gitlab CI/CD pipelines, but this enabled me to focus on app development instead of devops.

That's just my preference, of course.

How does access to the local filesystem work? If there is anything in my way here, this web variant is dead before it got started as far as I am concerned.

I understand Microsoft probably has a fantastical vision of "everything through visual studio", but the harsh reality is that I use many tools daily for one reason or another, and not being able to break out of the visual studio context and load up my source directory in some other local tool (without a commit/review/merge/pull cycle) is a total deal-breaker for me. Sometimes I'll write code that automates other code tasks, so I feel this would likely not work out well in a context where my files are mostly hidden from me in OneDrive/GitHub or some other cloud-bound dystopia.

This said, I love Microsoft and everything they have been doing around the .NET ecosystem lately. It has been going really well. Let's not start making bad choices now...

Yep, this works pretty well, but there's two things to be aware of:

1. They aren't allowed to use Microsoft's extension marketplace for legal reasons, so they use their own. It honestly kinda sucks though because not all the extensions are there, they're obviously behind the current version, and tons of extensions don't work out of the box because the "workaround marketplace" doesn't correctly build the extensions (lots of GitHub tickets give the advice of "run npm install in the extension directory").

Of course, that doesn't mean YOU can't configure code-server to use the Microsoft extension marketplace :). Set these environment variables before you start:

SERVICE_URL=https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery

ITEM_URL=https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items

2. If you're using Chrome/Safari and not using HTTPS, several extensions (e.g., vscode-vim and the Java extensions) will stay stuck saying "activating extensions" forever. There's apparently an issue with Chrome/Safari not allowing "something" when running over HTTP[1]. This all works on Firefox, but one thing I've found is that vscode-vim fails with some sort of regexp error on Firefox. So you should really be running over HTTPS and using Chrome/Safari.

They could have a checkbox "remove spam" that the moderators could turn on and off. There's not a lot of ambiguity about spam so it's not a real issue. I think the law should be "platforms should not tinker with their users' expressed preferences - you can't hide something that they 've chosen to subscribe to".

> And would this extend to marketplaces?

That's my argument, yes. I'm fine with hiding replies, and users using opt-out-able block-lists (e.g. that's how porn is implemented on Twitter and many other websites)... moderation is OK, censorship & (shadow)banning is the evil.

What I find so difficult with this whole topic is finding ways to fight this tendency of companies and other organizations bowing to China. So far I haven't found much except signing a couple petitions and boycotting, but petitions don't seem that helpful and boycotts are basically irrelevant as long as the corporation gains more profits in China than they lose from boycotts.

What I kind of like is referring to China as West Taiwan, but realistically that probably also doesn't do much except anger people from mainland China.

Here’s the thing. On dedicated forums we know the protocol. We don’t want spam and we don’t want politics.

If it’s a political forum we expect all civil exchanges to be treated equally. So a proponent for Owls and a proponent for sawmills both get their say and one doesn’t get “deranked” or de-monetized because it’s not the popular opinion or the au currant opinion. We don’t expect one political candidate to be artificially ranked and another artificially buried in the results.

Now, if I’m on the Hillary blog, yes, of course I expect the org to manage the commentary to fit their narrative. I don’t expect Zuckerberg or Pichai to turn their orgs into the Hillary blog or the Donald blog.
You argued for a constant value of a single dollar and then told me what would happen if the value of the currency increases, which is the opposite of what you were telling me before. If it does increase then it leads to massively disproportionate accumulation of wealth for existing holders, which you cannot justify.

> This has the presumption that you, or someone should be in charge of what money is worth. That should not be a function of the government.

That's (a) very much your opinion stated as self-evident and (b) not currently the job of the government, it's the job of an independent private central bank specifically designed to separate monetary policy from fiscal policy and the whims of the elected officials.

As said above, it looks like an online VSCode + remote containers on Azure to run your apps. And it may also be accessed from inside Visual Studio.

I can't see them deprecating the classical VS IDE, for at least the following reasons:

- we will always need tools to develop native applications

- some applications can't realistically or practically run in remote containers (eg. video games)

- some organizations won't accept their source code to be uploaded anywhere else than on company machines
