Please don't just carelessly comment about WAR as something minor and justifiable.
With all the power, wealth, and facilities, it took us only a few months of pandemic pressure, a few weeks with fear of tear gas, and violence on streets. So many hearts broke, so many men cried, system often failed to control, many felt hopeless, and so many got depressed because of uncertainty.

And yet we carelessly talk about WAR as if everything about it is small and normal that nobody should be held accountable and we should do all of it and non of it is our problem. We do all that talking without really knowing anything about it. Media just made it so easy for people to do that and that's how we don't put any effort to stop wars.

Real example of why this is a bad idea: www.cs.usfca.edu is not cs.usfca.edu. The latter doesn't even have a DNS entry set up..

A screenshot of the browser will not show the www, making it more difficult to find the website.
Try Fedora. It comes with vanilla GNOME by default, and also has variants (they call them "spins") with KDE Plasma, XFCE, LXQT, MATE, Cinnamon, LXDE and even SOAS Desktop. Most software have packages for Fedora, so for a normal person it should "just work".
I specifically said "once it's added to the trust store". It is known to the browser.

When I wrote the message I wasn't in front of Firefox, now I am. So to summarize:

* The CA's certificate is added to the Firefox store and trusted.

* Visiting a site gets the lock in the address bar.

* Clicking on the lock in bar shows "Connection secure. Connection is verified by a certificate issuer that is not recognized by Mozilla"

Well chrome has been doing that for a while too but what I mean is more like significant parts of the url for trust like say the user in github.com/<user>/<project>, because the user represents a significant silo similar to if it were instead organized like <user>.github.com/<project>

For example if I were to go to something like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<user>/<proj>/<path>
or

the most relevant parts of the url as far as security/trust is concerned is the domain githubusercontent and <user> not the raw subdomain

Its a decision I tend to respect (would actually never though of this myself). I don't think it patronizes the users in contrast to the decision like mentioned in the OP. Awareness of language is not all bad as it will influence us subconsciously. We seemingly did not need the term much in the 80s with the ending of the cold war, so IMHO it is not a huge loss: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=whitelist&year...

Without mentioning other connotations, IMHO the rise of computers have in places supported discriminating (ie. 0 vs 1) culture, because that is simply what computers can do best. If just renaming terms changes changes this can in fact be doubted.

I am actually not so happy about the consequences of hiding URLs to people. This will also change how we will perceive the Internet but IMHO not for the good. And here the motivations are not as clearly communicated here. It might actually hide some of the beautiful heterogenity and complexity of the Internet to the average user also with unforeseeable consequences.
Nowadays when I connect to Google using the Googlebrowser powered by the Googleprotocols to access the Googlecontent I don't care about weird symbols like 'https', arcane concepts like URLs, etc.
I have read a lot about Jung and Ramana Maharshi when I was younger.

Carl Jung had very strange inner life. He could create hallucinatory beings to talk and interact with, while still fully understanding that they were inside his mind. Very atypical mind. Interesting person to read about and influenced western thinking about psychology.

As a scientist and psychologist he gave new ideas, not better scientific understanding. Probably because his unique psyche. His ideas are too much influenced by what is to be Carl Jung.

Ramana Maharshi was another atypical person, probably had some neurologically interesting going on in his mind. As a young boy he could sleep so deep that his friends could drag him outside and beat him without waking him up.

One Buddhist teacher described Maharshi as the most realized person he ever met, but his method of teaching was not as good as what other meditation practices can achieve. He gave some rudimentary instructions, but if you are not a worshipper type there was no reason to stick around him. Mostly people just gathered around to worship and hear him talk.
> Conspiracy theory: This change is dictated by the Google AMP team that wants to take over the world without us knowing

I was just about to write this but I don't necessarily think it's that far off.

With signed exchanges, AMP pages have the ability to hide the fact you're accessing content through Google [1]. In 2016 Google wrote about testing 'mobile-first indexing' because more people are using mobile devices than desktop browsers [2].

[1] https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/about-amp#a...
[2] https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2016/11/mobile-first-index...

If Google can control the URL narrative (keeping users from bouncing off AMP pages) it's just one more ability for them to be MITM.
What the heck? A regular user doesn’t understand or care what the technical difference between a “regular” page and AMP is. I wouldn’t call this ignorance per se.
That's probably because most advanced users turn off all telemetry when possible. And http://localhost is probably ignored in statistics anyway.
But how much is serverless efficient?

Has anyone benchmarked the speed of running (let's say, on AWS) 1000x a lambda function vs. running the same function on a regular AWS instances?

Firefox isn't free either. It's just paid for by Google.
I think CS, in that era, was free if you had a HL product key. It was a community mod and even when it transitioned to a boxed standalone product you could still download it if you had a HL key. CS: Source was also a free upgrade.
Event Driven Architectures with EventBridge
First things first, most folks don't have access to a lot of fine coffee simply because of the cost barrier. Really, you have to work with the stuff that is more often available to people - and for most, that is grocery store coffees of different sorts. The only 'cafe' I had access to with any regularity was Starbucks in the US, and that hardly counts. Small-to-medium sized Indiana towns aren't exactly known for their coffee selection, and really, if the advice can't be used by a good chunk of the population, it isn't going to help much with cutting calories from daily drinks.

I know there are tea-like coffees. I don't like them: I get introduced to new stuff in December, when I order a coffee bean Advent calendar from a little Norwegian brewer: I kinda hate the days of the fruity, tea-ish coffees. Even if they were my favorite, I can't afford to drink this daily.

But that's besides the point. Cream, especially, gives a completely different mouthfeel. When I did put cream in coffee, I would have done it with the fancy coffees as well, though you could talk me into taking a sip otherwise.
URLs are confusing though. I am a veteran URL user and I learned something about them from this thread. Hiding them isn't necessarily better but many replies here seem to be denying that they are imperfect.

Surely this is not the actual Shkreli, but rather an impersonator?
A large part of the reason for this confusion might be Google's long-standing efforts to blur the line between search and plain URL-based navigation, starting with integrating search into the location field in Chrome – Firefox and Safari[1] used to separate them, which makes the concepts clearer and avoids sending URLs and (local history) searches to the search provider unintentionally.

If you'll forgive me from going meta, and this is not related to Thomas's comment at all, I was interested in all of the controversial opinions that have appeared in op-eds over the years, so I did some online searching. I had remembered that the NYT gave space to Castro, to Putin, to Mao (I think), even to some asshole who wanted pederastry to be legal.

Good luck finding that. It's as if controversial opinion columns didn't exist before 2018. I couldn't even find an article with a list.

This is very interesting! So by getting the job you get the valuable experience of managing 50+ people, but the trade-off is that you are expected to works shifts, stay on your feet for more than 12h, if needed to physical work, and be willing to relocate.

I understand why they will have a hard time finding experienced managers for this, but it is also a great opportunity for newly graduated young people who are serious about getting in to management.

These are excellent concerns, and I fully agree with you on those. But we can debate about them (at what point is it necessary to intervene to stop violent protests? With which means, what would be an acceptable use of force?). You can express your disagreement in full and mark your distance from Cotton's opinion.

Instead misrepresenting what Cotton wrote, accusing him of inciting murder and forcing the editor to resign are not legitimate objections. Seems simple enough?
I have found it especially worrying that IT giants increasingly encroach OSS instead of developing their own solutions. Devices remain closed while using 95% OSS code (yes, Android, the other 5% are hardware vendor firmware). It's not exclusively their fault, as Lunduke correctly points out. If the Linux Foundation is selling seats at the board of directors instead of granting them for outstanding support, well then Linux is the sucker here.

I got that huge bundle of games the other day, many of which have native Linux binaries. Binaries that probably worked fine in lots of distributions when they were released.

Tried three games so far -- Cook, Serve, Delicious 2 (2017), Nuclear Throne (2013) and uh, another one (201x): all of them refused to start, lacking one shared library or another.

I got CSD2 to start by copying .so files around and using LD_LIBRARY_PATH but it still did not work properly. Whatever. Bizarrely, it may be easier to get the respective Windows binaries to start in Wine. But I'm really past "getting things to work", there's enough stuff out there that doesn't require those kind of summoning rituals.

Why would you want to block 70-75% of Web users from your web application?
A common convention with system administrators is to have the canonical name at www.* and redirect www-less requests to the former. If you argue that a browser implementation should fix uncommon configurations, I would argue that administrators should fix their configurations in the first place.

You don’t have this issue at all for domains that don’t have a www subdomain.

Furthermore it would be extremely confusing to have different content for www.example.com & example.com.
Huh? Running against a different set of shared libraries?

I think Chris Latner has just a little insight on the inner workings of LLVM and it’s capabilities - even the proprietary portions that Apple hasn’t released in the open.

John Siracusa: The same thing I would assume for architecture changes, especially if there was an endian difference, because endianness is visible from the C world, so you can’t target different endianness?

Chris Lattner: Yep. It’s not something that magically solves all portability problems, but it is very useful for specific problems that Apple’s faced in the past.
The graphic design is stunning.

I did find it to be a massive distraction after the second or third page however.

There is a time and a place for an artistic touch and in this case, I found it distracting.

I find hand-written text difficult to read past 24pt and when done in gray, even more so.

Ultimately however, I think the greatest disagreement I have comes from the content itself - it reminds me of all the little tactics project managers I've had tried to use. All the 'team building' and 'team lunches' and 'daily stand ups'.

Life is about strategy, the long haul, not tactics. This approach is non-stop tactics and it never pauses to ask why go through all this? What are you trying to accomplish and is lack of organization bordering on OCD really the thing holding you back? Maybe it is, and if so, great.

This obsession with arbitrary processes to me, is simply manager-types trying to justify their existence and slick sales-men, trying to sell yet another 'productivity booster' that has no empirical evidence behind it, just slick advertising, such as these beautiful illustrations.

Well, it's backward compatibility, not forward one, so you can't compile on Arch Linux and run on Red Hat 4. But you can other way round.
It should not be of interest to others what I personally would approve of. I don't hand out nutritionist advice on the Internet.

The body is an amazing machine. It's still a good idea to at least try to understand the basic processes before making experiments on it. At least understand how ketosis works and why it isn't our default mode of metabolism.

While there certainly are people who feel that it is helping them, others would be actively hurt by it. Results on one individual can not be extrapolated into some sort of universal cure. The fact that such advice can be readily found on the Internet anyway probably shouldn't come as a surprise though.

Before Edge came out, I always preferred IE11 over Chrome (on machines that only had those two installed), because IE11 kept the legacy "must compete with Netscape" features like decent contentEditable context menus. And websites that didn't work in IE11 generally weren't worth using anyway.

Now… well, IE11 doesn't even support ES6 properly, and good sites have started relying on that, and Edge is just evil Chrome – unless it's got Firefox installed, Chrome's your only option. But sites that use Chrome-only APIs aren't worth using anyway.

(Oh, wait, Zoom needs either Chrome or a malwarey desktop program.)

Nice introduction. Thank you.

I think taxes are very difficult. Personally, I think when Google or Facebook places an ad on its own (public) platform, they should have to pay a tax similar to a sales tax as they have sold themselves. Probably shouldn’t apply to the ads on google.com homepage as they don’t sell those as far as I understand.

The article mentions neutrality in taxes which is either silly or disingenuous though. Our tax code is not neutral. We openly use tax code as a way to motivate public behavior.

Ad space as inventory would be an interesting concept. It is tricky though. What is the value of something before it is sold? What is a fair tax rate? How often does this inventory adjust as you have more or fewer users? Messy.
Yeah. I think a better approach would be to ban all forms of tracking that don't involve cookies. Then we can trust users to choose browsers that can alert about cookies appropriately, block third party cookies, and clear first party cookies after visiting a site unless it's whitelisted by the user.
