The argument is that a terminal shouldn't be slower given the increase in computing power by several magnitudes. Maps has its own scalability challenges, but a terminal doesn't need a live network connection and isn't/shouldn't be maintained by 100 developers who each only know a small bit of the codebase and step on each others' toes.

Given some corrections, we certainly have the capability to build terminal workflows with less latency. So there is nothing wrong with pushing the community forward.

It's not a matter of nostalgia or just being content with the way things are. People used to argue vehemently against the features we enjoy today such as autocomplete and advanced theming, but a few people kept their heads down and made it happen anyway, because it was The Right Thing.

Question: does someone like me need renter's insurance? I rent a bedroom in the owner's flat, don't have anything super valuable in there and am not required by the owner to have insurance. If I'm comfortable self-insuring my personal belongings, is there any other outsized risk that would justify paying $60/year?
Close, but Taiko has a flat API. For reference here's a script in puppeteer

const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});

await browser.close();

and the same thing in Taiko

await openBrowser()
await goto('https://example.com');
await screenshot({path: 'example.png'});
await closeBrowser();

Companies are liable for their employees.

Employees produce content/products/sales/projects for the Company.

Social media users create the content that give value to social networks, thus social media users are, in a way, employees of the company. The Company has the requirements of limiting and being liable for the content that exists on their platform.

I don't get the implication between federation and ergonomics. Federation is the ability for competing providers to operate in the protocol space. Does it lead to better ergonomics, worse ergonomics?

I don't think it impacts ergonomics.

What federation does is:

a) Remove the single point of failure present in Signal;

b) Promote competition between service providers.

None of these can be argued against.

Note that I'm not defending we stick with email. I'm defending we shouldn't move to a non-federated protocol. That fixes one thing and breaks another. Choose xmpp, matrix, design a better messaging protocol, ... Just don't take a step forward when facing the abyss on the merits of taking forward steps.
1/500 needs a citation. Because the WHO and CDC as of a few days ago said 1/50. But even 1/500 is an incredibly high mortality rate for something as infectious as the flu, and to make light of it is bizarre. Even your number would make catching it about 1000x more dangerous than skydiving.

> British law also N.Irish people to declare themselves Irish under the GFA

This by itself doesn't mean anything for GDPR—GDPR applies to EU residents (whether or not they are EU citizens), not EU citizens. Declaring yourself Irish doesn't make you fall under GDPR protection if you live outside the EU.
It is real. I just got an email about this from Google about my gmail account:

- Your service provider and data controller is now Google LLC: Because the UK
is leaving the EU, we’ve updated our Terms so that a United States-based
company, Google LLC, is now your service provider instead of Google Ireland
Limited. Google LLC will also become the data controller responsible for your
information and complying with applicable privacy laws. We’re making similar
changes to the Terms of Service for YouTube, YouTube Paid Services and Google
Play. These changes to our Terms and privacy policy don’t affect your privacy
settings or the way that we treat your information (see the privacy policy [link redacted]
for details). As a reminder, you can always visit your Google Account

Well, it’s not just far right stuff they’re censoring in bulk, so in a weird way I can see where he’s coming from.

For example, YouTube has been taking down legal instructional gunsmithing videos (one of my hobbies) because guns. Other things that scare people but aren’t associated with a US political axis position, like the lockpicking lawyer, stay up.

They are absolutely editorializing (see also: Apple’s squirt gun emoji, which I would find unconscionable even if I weren’t a firearms enthusiast because I am an accurate communications enthusiast first and foremost) and their behavior needs to change before it hurts our society even more.

My friend, for example, lost a meme page he ran on Facebook with hundreds of thousands of readers for posting a male nipple (the man was wearing makeup). The censorship is not just political. They are burning books and destroying value: art, teaching, literature. It’s not okay.

I just don’t think this is the right approach to it.
I think there is another kind of conservation that occurs in our desire for complexity. Something about human natures forces lots of people to feel uncomfortable with giving up control, so we strive to exercise it in other places. Successful platforms, whether they be convenience systems like Netflix or Amazon, or software paradigms have always traded some new interface for unstated (and probably unknown) complexity elsewhere. I think the most apt example these days is probably Docker & K8s and the deluge of systems and tools required to make that all work well in a team setting.

There are other good adages that are worth reading about such as "Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety"[1], and the "Complexity Paradox"[2] which I think can apply generally here, if you synthesize the themes out.

They can be argued with, easily. But we don't reach that argument, because it has nothing to do with safety. You make choices in favor of "federation" and "progress" because your life is not on the line when you send messages. That's fair! Most people's lives aren't on the line! But when we talk about messaging security, we have to consider the users for whom secure messaging is intended: people who really are entrusting their lives to software.

It's helpful to compare secure messaging to medical software. If we were talking about the software that controls the radiotherapy machine, no rational person would would have any priority other than safety. But of course almost nobody interacts with radiotherapy software, and everyone interacts with messaging software, so it's hard to see the connection. But it is there.

Because unless the UK and the EU reach a trade agreement by the end of the year, the provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement kick in and Northern Ireland becomes bound to EU regulation.

This is a long and complicated story, but essentially Brexit created the following problem: the UK now desires to have full control over its borders, and this means a hard border between the UK and the EU. But then there is also the Good Friday Agreement (GFA), which achieved peace between the unionists (Protestants who want NI to be part of the UK) and the nationalists (Catholics who want NI to be part of Ireland). Simplistically, the GFA guarantees a sort of double affiliation of NI, both to the UK and to Ireland. This means, among other things, no physical borders.

I tried many different strategies over the years. The only real move is to never use Udemy for anything.

If you put a watered down version of a course on Udemy and then try to sell your premium course at the end, then a ton of people who go through the course will just slam you with 1 star reviews saying things like "this idiot gave us a 5 hour course where I learned a lot but now he wants us to buy the premium course on his own platform".

If you put a free course on Udemy, with intent to move people to your platform by gently mentioning a premium version of the course, you'll get the same type of negative reviews no matter how good the course is.

This is especially bad too because Udemy students are trained by the platform to only ever pay $10-15 for a course, even if it has 20+ hours of content, full time support and life time free updates. Suggesting a price that isn't $10 results in hostility and practically 0% conversions.

If you go the other route and create some type Udemy-specific mini course where you don't even talk about the "better" version of the course, and you really make it the best it can be then you end up hurting yourself because Google is going to rank the Udemy version higher than your own version, so organic traffic will be driven to the Udemy version.

You're waaaaay better off never to even step foot on Udemy's platform and just build your own audience with your own platform. Most successful courses are successful due to word of mouth, not the marketplace. That's the whole idea behind the "1,000 true fans" concept.

Guilty as charged.. the 1% was a napkin estimate.

The True Cost in this specific case is (0..7 bits to fill a byte) + 2 bytes for the RST marker for each interval. 320x240 image and RST interval for each 240/8 block means 30 RST's so something close to 75 bytes "wasted", or, other way to look at it is ~3 bits per row.

The reason is that for the JPEG the Huffman tree is fixed and is transmitted with the image data so restarting is cheap; it does not start from scratch and build a new tree each time; each decoded symbol is also independent so you can stop and restart at any time you want. I don't have any ANS experience at all so won't say anything about that.. but it would be nice if some sort of way would be possible to isolate the ranges.

Good observations, btw. :)

User-generated content can be viable if the users host/publish it themselves. That's usually the response when tech companies boot pages or accounts (ie. private companies exercising their rights)
That is a clever legal argument. Of course to distinguish a traditional newspaper or publication from social media posts are the editorializing exercised by the tech companies occurs after publication/posting; whereas, traditional media exercises their editorial powers prior to publication.

In practice, say I set up an anonymous social media account and publish false/defamatory statements about myself, then I sue the tech company and john doe (as the poster), what exactly can/could the tech company do to have prevented liability? Seemly they would have to somehow change their systems so posts are reviewed by editors prior to publication to minimize legal risk and potential liability.
GDPR applies to EU citizens globally. It's just not enforced globally. The company will have to be large enough to have a presense (or future presense) in the EU for there to be an tangible impact.

> Is a remote position something I can hope for as my first development job?

Yes, especially if you're willing to take a lower-than-market salary. The reason is that remote jobs in higher demand, and remote companies can hire from all over the world. I currently have remote Colombian devs who make $100k/yr (which they can live really well on), but who would cost me $120k-$140k in the US (outside of SF or NY). By looking at remote jobs, you're competing with a much larger pool of candidates who may have lower costs of living than you.
