Oh, I've actually been working at that for the last six months! The DS model we have going at https://groa.us is really solid. We are working on integrating list functionality so that you can put together different "mood boards" of lists so you are in the driver's seat when it comes to steering the algo.

But currently the vanilla version we have up now, I've found, has provided really solid results.
When you search for a term on Google.com, should that load request HTTP assets from multiple potentially-untrusted third parties?
I don’t know what the “new feature” bit is about; I’ve been using off-line dictation on iOS for years. Anytime I need to dictate something very long, I turn the phone on airplane mode so that I can dictate without Apple, inevitably deciding, at some point in the middle of my dictation, to delete my entire message and begin to retype it in slow motion (has anybody else experienced this? I’ve been dealing with this for at least five years, since an early version of their online dictation).

Unfortunately, airplane mode is the only way to enable off-line dictation. Or, is there another way?

The first version of dictation had no online mode at all; when Apple added that, presumably as a Slowloris attack on the entire world, it ruined the entire experience.
Something like sendgrid?
Same reason I stay away from text books and stick to picture books and comics! Text is boring and tedious, pictures are cute and fun!
I think the difference is that they don't create a bundle but import the files directly in the browser.
That’s pretty cool and it’s good of you to think about the scenario.

The problem is the bankruptcy court/buyer/ex-spouse/whatever may have a different preference. So you may want to set up something legally binding now when everyone is the same agreement.

Could you also solve this by GPL+Commercial license for those that pay?
I doubt it. I've hinted at in comments here in the past, but I have one such story. It's a footnote, at best, in MS's history, and a thing for a now-dead product, but they turned what I thought was a cool product into their own thing then disappeared it through internal MS politics.

I don't tell the story in any details since I don't want those details getting back to the real me and having a negative impact on my career for whatever reason.
One thing to note is that the singular database used for answering business questions is often not customer facing, and thus does not have as strong reliability guarantees (In my experience). Most of the business analytics happens asynchronously (etl pipelines everywhere).

I'm not sure how to avoid this. The need to answer business question favors a single, queryable DB whereas the need to keep applications siloed and abstracted away favors multiple application data stores.
+1 for remnote! I really love its research based spaced repetition functionality!
That's a false equivalence.

Arguing that a platform shouldn't have to host arbitrary content isn't the same as saying that a platform should get to host arbitrary content. If you run a website I'd argue that you shouldn't have to post other peoples' content on it - that doesn't mean I think you should get a free pass to post any illegal content you like - which was the issue with election interference.
So from reading this it sounds like what's being asked for essentially syntactic sugar for Object.freeze(), and the function Record(obj) would be doing something along the lines of

function Record(obj)
let result = {};
for (let [key, value] of obj) {
switch (typeof value) { case "function": case "object": throw ...; }
result[key] = obj;
}
Object.freeze(result);
return result;
}

Or similar.

Now obviously have typeof return a new type is exciting, and of questionable value, but having a "only immutable values can be in fields" guarantee could be useful.

That said, overloading # is not something I think is great, and the semantics need to be tightened up (fields in prototype chain, etc, what is the prototype of the resulting record/tuple object).
What if a file depends on another file. So, I think it is O(n)
I have to decided to just stopping commenting on these kinds of threads.

No matter how objective I am it is going to piss violate some unknown law of the land here. Being logically correct in these threads usually ends up being politically incorrect.

Thanks for all your hard work moderating.
> ... let them instead check a handful videos per day for some cases of copyright infringment and such.

They'd all have to be copyright lawyers, then?
Isn't that exactly what happened with the internet?

And it seems the market have already chosen that a slightly moderated but not too heavily model seems to retain and attract the most users.

Twitter I don't think is putting in place these moderation mechanism for fun or through their own personal CEO's own moral and ethics. They do what they think will be best for business.
From Zero to $100k in Sales: Don Shares the Fast Paced Story of His NYC Farm
Don started his business in his parents basement and quickly expanded to a robust farm serving the local community. Last year he reached $100,000 in sales. His approach to business helped the farm increase sales by 50% during COVID-19.
Reminds me of AngularJS... :) Much simpler overall though. I like it.
Classic topic switching technique that nonetheless does not work on those paying attention.

The issue being discussed here is the deliberate use of factually incorrect information by Joe Biden, with no "fact checks" of any kind. But you know that already.

Same with "Steele dossier". I bet you totally believe it's factual, or even if you don't, you'll pretend that it is, for political reasons.
I look for the perspective here and Sweden, and if its an established fact that the mail-in ballot system used by California can not be abused, why does Sweden then have a significant more restrictive and expensive rules around mail-in ballots?

To be specific, here you can only use mail-in ballots as an exception if you live outside the border of Sweden, and you can only make a request to use the mail-in ballot if you visit an embassy first or use the digital identity system through one of the Swedish banks, which then operate similar to the embassy in its role in identification processing.

Naturally using less security does not mean fraud has happened in the past, but it should be relevant to the question if fraud may happen in the future. If we have factually evidence it won't happen then Sweden should change it rules to make it easier for people to vote and reduce costs to embassies. If we are uncertain, well, then the question is a fair game to ask what is good enough security and what isn't.
The roundup of React form validation solutions
I think they meant 'can you do stuff other than sending data' - other things that you'd use javascript for that is not sending data/ajax. Validation and stuff. I'm writing some extensions in what is essentially a 'local SPA' and I'd love to get rid of the inline onclick handlers and all their crufty syntax (but my last real experience working on the web was 20 years ago so my perspective is probably objectively primitive anyway).
Open source a transparent, government sponsored free-speech communication platform that clones Facebook functionality for organizing information in an intuitive way for the most tech unsaavy person.

Outright ban all user tracking and profiling transparently with annual code audits and watchdog groups that can punish those in charge for not adhering to this, no advertisements, no selling data, and put 18f on the job of designing/developing it based off sound human principles, no army of behavioral researchers and Psychologists A/B testing bait-and-click engagement dark pattern metrics that penetrate deeply into the reward system of our neuroplastic brains and yanks on that lever of addiction formation with ease. Cut the bullshit and I'm on board. I'll even work for free on this if you promise to make it a reality, hell consider it a public utility if you have to so it stays funded and maintained.

The Advertising industry needs to be lobotomized and severely scaled back to more traditional forms of reaching people where they are, not vacuuming up every ounce of data their movement, click, search, and vitals generate unbeknownst to them. Good riddance.
I read nothing but good intent in your comment, so this is not me throwing stones, but one comment I would make is that I think using the term "prior art" - coming as it does from patent law - carries an overtone of "I am implying that you might have ripped off someone else's idea".

It's clear that this is not what you intended, but I think from the response from the creator, that was the tone that you accidentally conveyed.

Just a thought for the future :-).
I'm not dogmatic about it. Some validation has to be done on the server side (e.g. unique emails) and any validation has to be redone on the server anyway since the client side isn't a trusted computing environment, but I can see doing both.
Slide into their DMPCs
Lots of people were also convinced Google wouldn’t go down that route and would be dismissive of criticism.

I feel like when a company grows to a certain size, we have to drop the “assume good faith” outlook we give to small businesses and individuals and take on “assume bad faith” instead.
Plain Markdown links should work just fine in Obsidian, but you might need to convert space characters to "%20" according to Markdown spec, since space is not allowed.
How does it compare to intercooler?

What's the Accessibility story?
> it's actually an insightful question

How so? I replied because I didn't want to pass on an opportunity to advocate for equal access, and I thought the person asking that question might be genuinely ignorant, e.g. growing up in a culture where it goes without saying that people with disabilities are outcasts. In other words, I wanted to be charitable and not write them off as a troll. But I don't see how it's an insightful question.
This is the "Doesn't cure cancer!" response.

They don't have to be perfect. They don't have to save the world. They don't have to cure cancer. Any improvement is an improvement.
I have great respect for consistent and coherent CLI interfaces. The first piece of software I released was a command line app. I put a lot of time into designing the interface before I wrote any code.

I “designed” the commands (the grammar, collected terms, syntax and semantics, etc.) before implementing them. The goal was to provide a “guessable” interface, eg. if you ‘load’ then it makes sense to ‘unload’.

Next time I do something graphical, I’d like to design a scriptable CLI interface first, then use end/entry-points to build the GUI.
> If you think that the US is doing this for the protesters

Is that really relevant?

I mean, HKers are getting screwed by a massively totalitarian and oppressive regime. Why is the interest of a third party relevant to the Chinese regime's devastation of Hong Kong?
Of course. Sometimes the convenience of ordering is great, but good lord, I don't want to live in the dystopian hell where you never go to the store. It's fun to joke with people. Flirt with the cashier. Bump into a friend unexpectedly. Human stuff.
The PEPs of Python 3.9
Often, it's not the developers that are at fault. Middle managers, cross-functional people, etc. ask developers to cram garbage into otherwise would-be lean pages. Developers often have no authority to push back, and stakeholders often don't fully understand "why" the garbage they're asking developers to insert into pages is detrimental to the user experience.

With AMP, the little badge (the verification), serves as a constraint for developers, but mostly for business stakeholders. The conversation of "I can't do that, because it's simply not compatible with AMP" is way easier than "I can't do that, because it will make the page slow".
wow, what a nightmare to reset...
I think that came off as a lot snippier than intended, apologies.

All I meant is that I spent entirely too much time researching the web of entities supporting the Death Star's SMTP needs through the last decade, who on Linkedin listing those companies might be attached to the production technical team, etc. At some point I started joking that I knew knew more about their corporate structure than anyone not suing them or working in their legal department.
yes, responses are expected to be in HTML

but you can use the client-side-templates plugin if you want to run responses through a client-side template engine:

Why not? If support is so important, then an competitor will show up with better support and take people away from your service.
Can you expand upon what you mean by "political violence"?
I think the real issue is probably the store hires all of one or two people to deliver food, who make really low wages and have to do a lot of orders.

You guys are expecting concierge level service from minimum wage people. Grocery stores can really only do the minimum possible usually, even with the fees
I blame Chrome pissing on the menus for how hidden most functions are. Once they hid the menus, the others fell in line.
An incremental rebuild will still be O(n), but in this case n=1. This isn't the same as O(1) where, regardless of the input size, the number of operations will remain the same. This isn't just being pedantic, O(1) implies they have a seperate algorithm that doesn't grow as input size grows, which is totally seperate from intelligently running an algorithm whose runtime increases at a constant rate. While in this case the resulting runtime will be the same, the nuances that are implicitly implied when they say something is O(1) will not be true.
> I wonder if the arrangements and outcome would have been different had AppGet been closed source.

All of the Windows apps that MS did this to back in the 1990s were closed source. Didn't help. MS has more than enough horsepower to just reverse engineer whatever they can't get the source code for if they care enough about the features.
In the winter in cold climates, incandescents are fine anyway. They're 100% efficient because the "waste" heat is still being utilized, particularly if the building is heated electrically anyway.
Yeah, but no one really says "quadratically slower" in the real world, while "exponentially slower" is used by regular non-CS/math/stats people. It's a forgivable inaccuracy.
"Countable" is not the same as the "countable numbers" nor is it the same as the process of "counting".

The process of counting might be defined as what starts to happen when you stick up one finger and say something to emphasise what that finger means. That something will not be zero. Ever.

When you count your sheep into your pen, you will of course start: "Yan, tan, tither, toe" Trust me that yan does not mean zero.

Also note that if you search those terms, you will get a valid result and conclude I've misspelt some of those Cumbric words. I haven't, according to living relos of mine. Speling is a bit odd anyway when you go back a few centuries and I'll wager that tither is more likely than tethera because it is very slightly more easy to say. Tethera is three syllables but tether is two, bordering on one. However tethera could be pronounced "tethra", ie drop the extra e when spoken.

The counting numbers are fairly rigorously defined and are the numbers we use when we don't have access to more than the usual four dimensions, imaginary thingies, quaternions, etc etc.

The counting numbers start at one (probably)
Not really. Afterall his AppGet package was open source....
The idea behind libs like htmx is that you get to have some of the niceties of a SPA, without writing any JS and requiring minimal computational power from the client.
Crikey support got back to me and offered me this link:

https://www.crikey.com.au/topic/spinning-the-media/

There are a lot of articles listed, but if you scroll down there will be a clump that are actually entitled "spinning the media" all of which are dated in March 2010, which are all the parts to their 'special investigation'.

This article is almost directly relatable to the topic of this thread:
https://www.crikey.com.au/2010/03/25/spinning-the-media-pre-...

(and it's from 2010 - we've had a decade of normalization between that article and the one that initiated this thread!)

P.S. No paywall!
Previously I'd considered AMP a storm in a teacup. Now I think it's enough that I'll switch my mobile device to DDG, something I thought I'd never say.

For some reason on my iPhone AMP pages just don't fit on the screen. Maybe it's because I have a large default zoom/font. But this actually makes them unreadable because pinch-to-zoom is almost always disabled. I have a bookmark workaround for that but honestly I don't think it's ever worked.

Only recently did I discover a workaround for this: on Safari you can force touch to bring up a preview of the original site then click on it to bring that up.

If this change breaks that functionality then something has to change. That could be by using a browser to pretend to be a desktop browser or it could be DDG. I'm not sure yet.

Why do I, as a user, not have the ability to opt out of this horrible broken mess?

I'm all for having Web pages that render fast. I really hope for Google's sake that rendering speed alone is what affects ranking and there isn't some boost for AMP directly because that has anticompetitive written all over it. It would be forcing sites to adopt AMP or suffer downranking (to be fair, companies are typically terrible at designing fast-rendering websites).

So if if DDG gets me out of AMP and I can somehow set it so I get Google search results by default (instead of Bing) without using !g on every search then honestly at this point, I'm in.
It sounds risky to build your business on top of someone else’s business.

Do you even have legal authorization to access TikTok’s data, and customer base?

For an example, PadMapper built their rental search website on top of Craigslist, a few years back. It was actually quite nice at the time. And then, Craigslist shut them down with a cease-and-desist order.
The story reminds me of Andy Hertzfeld’s Switcher:

The difference is that, in 1984, Bill Gates immediately offered $40k and Steve Jobs offered $100k for plugging a hole in their operating system.

In 2020, Microsoft just strings you along on vague promises while they simultaneously rip you off.
Yes. This. Man And help pages are great (and grep-able, ripgrep-able ha).

No ads. No pay wall. Damn I love man pages.
GE lighting(for consumers) died a slow death starting with the elimination incandescent bulbs.
The twisty florescent were made in China on non-exclusive contract, Walmart and whoever else wanted, bought the exact same bulb. What it did achieve was elimination of a US workforce that was a growing financial burden with retirement and medical benefits. Make no mistake, they architected legislation to eliminate the incandescent. The price of the 60w equivalent CF was four times it's incandescent counterpart, and bulbs that still failed on a regular basis due to power supply design.
This was the transformation to a marketing/design company, similar to most companies that put their mark on products today.
With no differentiation, or passionate brand loyalty(for light bulbs!?), it's a race to the bottom..
What if you put anthrax in a birthday cake?

It's still illegal. Besides, planting a bug and solving it would still involve faking version control records to insert the bug.

You might be able to get away with it once but the bean counters wouldn't let you fool them twice in that regard. Unless you had a guy on the inside etc. but it's turtles all the way down.
Is it possible to do inline video, or is it possible to write a plugin that does it? I have a highly specific note taking application in mind, if you'd like to have a somewhat concrete use case for a specific market and you'd like to talk that over with me, feel free to contact me. (I'm using tiddlywiki now)

I think this is in general a problem with note taking apps - their market is too broad. Not many people want to 'take notes', they want to 'track the research for my book' or 'track references of the papers I write' or 'collect recipes'. It takes an engineer's mind to naturally abstract that into 'note taking'.
Not quite; it's intended only to replace webpack for development. Snowpack explicitly recommends you continue using bundlers for production.

"Snowpack treats bundling as a final, production-only build optimization. By bundling as the final step, you avoid mixing build logic and bundle logic in the same huge configuration file. Instead, your bundler gets already-built files and can focus solely on what it does best: bundling."
This is definitely true, the key thing here is that they don't have to (and assistant does work outside of service). In addition, there's no guarantee that "that was not for you" will actually delete details about the last command, but Apple doesn't even attempt this. You have no idea if something Siri shouldn't have heard will end up in a training dataset (disclaimer: I'm saying this in ignorance of the Siri privacy policy).
You're correct that the Firebase Cloud Messaging is essentially required for Android push. As of Android 8, Google prevents background connections from being held open by apps, and requires FCM in order to wake up apps (eg: to receive a notification). This is documented here: https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-sta...

If the app is already running (eg: in the foreground), then you can (and probably should) use your own non-FCM connection for sending messages or data.

You only have to be aware of the recent financial crisis, whose impact went through arguably between 4 to 6 years, to realize that enduring a simple lockdown that takes 4 to 6 weeks is a mere inconvenience, and whining about the devastating impact of staying at home for a few weeks is a kin of whining about not getting a haircut on schedule.
If they're referencing Big-O notation, in my opinion it is fair to assume that the people reading it are CS/math/stats people

The president has not had a dramatic impact on my life directly. The people who follow him and listen to him absolutely have. I'm getting real tired of seeing armed protests, nazi/confederate flags, and Make America Great Again signs at my state capitol every other day. I'm tired of his threats to punish my state after a massive flood because he doesn't like my governor. I'm tired of one of his cabinet members riling up these armed protests with nazi/confederate flags.

And even if the president hasn't done anything to me specifically, I'm getting real tired of hearing all the stupid shit he does/says every night on the news or the next morning when my coworkers talk about it. If I could figure out a way to block the words "twitter", "hydroxycloroquine", "inject disinfectant", etc... I'm sure he'd make up even stupider things for people to talk about.

It's tiring. It's exhausting. And knowing that nearly half of my countrymen agree with what he says just makes it worse. But the worst part of all is having a president who is actively attacking my state and its elected representatives while we're in not one but MULTIPLE states of emergency.

Have you ever had your president declare war on your state? It's not normal. And it's really hard to pretend it doesn't exist.
Eh, so what, they're not using the correct mathematically term for complexity. Do most developers care if it is quadratic or exponential? I don't care, because they're both varying degrees of bad. It's just one gets worse faster than the other.
I’m going on what I’ve observed in FB users around the world. Their most dedicated users are people in developing countries whom they have convinced that Facebook is the internet.
