I don't see what the big issue with installing vs. not-installing is. When you start an app you copy code into RAM and then start executing it. What does it matter if the code is coming from your hard disk or from a webserver.

Secondly, of course the browser is like an operating system. It's a virtual machine abstracting away the underlying machine for security (a point the author completely forgot) and convenience reasons. And it's great at that.

What I personally dislike is the tooling available for modern web development. I neither particularly like the programming languages nor the frameworks and tools. Actually some of the setups I've seen do make me want to throw up a bit, too, that's why I am a happy native programmer (c++ and swift) most of the time!

Re: 4Tb drives, I do the dollars-per-mb calculation before buying hard drives. The most recent time I included the enclosure cost and found that it was actually cheaper to go huge. Granted the enclosure was a Synology, but buying 16TB drives is the closest I’ve been so ‘solving’ storage in a long time.

This reminds me of the anecdote about Harry Markowitz, the originator of what is called modern portfolio theory (which supposedly tells you how to allocate your money efficiently). When asked if he applied his theory IRL he said something along the lines of: Hell no, I just put a third in stocks, a third in bonds and a third in cash.

I think a theory of any kind that is not applied IRL by its creator should be seen with great suspicion.
Again you are focused on the legal argument that no one is making

Yes they have the legal ability to moderate content under current law. However that does not mean they are beyond criticism, just because they can do something does not mean the SHOULD do something, and if they do everyone has the equal right to voice their displeasure with said action

>>Does that not count as freedom of expression?

No I do not believe that moderation is "speech" that is dangerously close to the "silence is racist" mantra we are hearing in the wider society. Silence / lack of moderation is not speech, nor is it "endorsement" or anything else

Simliarly defense of the concept of free expression is not an endorsement of the speech being defended. Society it seems have lost the axiom of "I disagree with what you say but will defend your right to say it"

Today you and many others take the approach of "I disagree with what you say so I will pressure platforms to prevent you from saying it"

That is the danger in society, because before too long either you (and people that think like you) or the platforms will push for government limit speech.. As I said in another comment, the Law is simply a reflection of the society, it just takes the law awhile to catch up.

There are still enough of us that do respect free expression to hold off legal changes, but we diminish in numbers every year which to you I am sure is a good thing.

The problem is we are playing chess looking 5 moves ahead and seeing the logical conclusion, where cancel culture people (like yourself) are playing checkers and only looking 1 move ahead

I want to pressure the platforms to uphold free expression as an ideal. you want to destroy that.
That's a supercool idea! good luck with the job hunting!
There is a third big advantage to web apps over native apps - they're run in a hardened sandbox designed to safely execute untrusted code.
Maybe turnabout is fair play. After all, one of the main tactics of conservatives is to underfund or defund programs, then point at them and say "look, it doesn't work!" to try and get them shut down.
From the very paper linked by the parent and the parent-parent:

"This was an observational retrospective analysis
that could be impacted by confounding variables"; "We also do not have data on the time at which the patients included
in the study initiated therapy with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc." "The cohorts were identified based on medications
ordered rather than confirmed administration, which may bias findings towards favoring
equipoise between the two groups." "In light of these limitations, this study should not be
used to guide clinical practice."

The point is not to identify the people using Web MIDI but to identify individual users, regardless of what information exactly identifies them. To that end, every single piece of entropy helps. A good approach to it in general is to opportunistically consume every available API that can possibly divulge identifying information.

A lot of people also do have a virtual MIDI device installed whether they know about it or not. The name of this device differs between different operating systems and operating system revisions.
The problems with the modern web (over-complicated cookie consent, advertising/ad-blocker arms races) are not those the author describes (performance of native web apps). Functionality of most downloaded apps with good performance should be easily possible in a browser. If that's not the case, developers of those apps are not doing it well. Native apps allow them to continue this bloat without such a strong performance hit.

Because it's your identity. Login systems have moved away from the 'username' concept that we used to use, because it was another thing we could forget. Email addresses are inherently unique and allow identifying a person for support calls or login or whatever.

I'm not saying this is necessarily a good thing, but this is how things work and I don't have a better suggestion.

>I don't see what the big issue with installing vs. not-installing is. When you start an app you copy code into RAM and then start executing it. What does it matter if the code is coming from your hard disk or from a webserver.

Persistence, and idempotency.

Code you run from your local hard drive will work as expected every time you run it.

Code grabbed from remote repository(website) might, and usually will, be updated/changed and it might break your workflow. It might not exist anymore.
I thought it was about SPA vs. Multipage application on which I would have agreed but using web technology instead of native on mobile app development is completely fine by me.

The argument about people not wanting to install anything is a little puzzling. Is that actually true? I would assume that most people, even on phones install the majority of applications they need on day one of getting a new device.

Honestly I don't think people care how their applications are developed or installed (assuming it's sufficiently easy). Resource also isn't something people think about, until they don't have enough. I don't see an argument from the customer side for web applications or Electron apps. It's easier and quicker to develop, but that's a business/developer argument.

Application development, especially on Windows and Linux seems like a lost art at this point.
I tested AstraLinux and the GUI is blazing fast! Then i try d to find the sources for the Desktop and failed ;(

Not so much a threat to the progressive worldview, but a threat to progressive politics having a positive impact. From what I understand, the 'dirtbag left' consider themselves the gatekeepers of progressive politics, and do a good job of alienating as many other people as possible. The Trumpists of the left, sounds like a reasonable description.

Some argue they were a big part of the reason why Bernie's campaign was unable to find much traction outside his core. Of course they blame it on others, even calling other progressives, like Elizabeth Warren, traitors.
Does anyone know any other companies that are doing this sort of thing?

Part of the scrum retrospective involves a process review. You look at what is and isn’t working, then evolve your process accordingly. Sounds like that team decided that scrum wasn’t working, which means they used the evolutionary aspect of scrum as it was meant to be used. That focus on improving processes is the best aspect of scrum in my opinion, and the least used in my experience. Today, I mostly work on my own and am self directed, and boy... I don’t miss working in those old structured environments.
I'm not arguing against the autonomy part, on the contrary: I join you in arguing in favor of it, and also that such an autonomy requires a brilliant personality at the head of it.

However, while the combination of autonomy and brilliant personality might be a prerequisite of outstanding success, I'm not yet convinced that it's an overwhelming indicator of it. I believe that a brilliant but toxic personality with autonomy can lead to an ultimately fatal instability.

Importance of Warm-up before Workouts
> Build a team to do scrum, don’t expect scrum to build your team.

This is a very important takeaway I think. A development methodology can work to organize the processes of an already (relatively) well working group. Expecting process standardization to fix dysfunctional human interaction is just putting the cart before the horse. Scrum will not build trust between coworkers or between workers and management. It will not allow non-technical management to suddenly develop an understanding an appreciation for technical difficulties.
Well, I thought so too in the start.

But I asked someone in a popular local store ( Belgium) and consumer behaviour hasn't changed.
Under the heading of "inspiration", the author A E van Vogt had a method involving waking himself up several times a night.
His Wikipedia entry[1] describes it as "he arranged to be awakened every 90 minutes during his sleep period so he could write down his dreams", which sounds like an output process, but in an interview [2] it sounds like an input process: "When I was working on a story, I would waken myself every hour and a half, through the night--force myself to wake up, think of the story, try to solve it, and even as I was thinking about it I would fall back asleep. And in the morning, there would be a solution, for that particular story problem."

However his output was notably different from other writers (by reports[1]) so it may not generalise.

I was backing up an external drive on a very very slow connection. I plugged it in to the machine late in the month, but forgot to turn the power on at the wall. The upload didn’t start and I lost the full backup and had to Re-upload the whole drive.

The reason you can install instantly from the web and just pull in code with reckless abandon is because you are essentially running a sandboxed environment. Browsers are built to not trust.

The technical limitation is that you want the instant loading (which can’t be secure as it doesn’t allow for you to verify you actually want to run something nor does it let antivirus scan it) without the protective sandbox.

> Someone's interpretation of their own sexuality or gender affects no one but themselves.

I don't feel you've really followed the debate. Some trans rights activists are demanding that they be legally defined as the sex they 'identify' with. This equates to biological men being housed in female prisons, biological men competing in women's sporting events, etc etc. It's an attack on women's spaces and the very meaning of what it is to be a woman and what women's experiences entail.

This is just a short summary but the idea that they are affecting 'no one but themselves' is way off base.
its not really all that "custom".... facebook have a shead load of IPv6 space, and based on what hurricane electric say (https://bgp.he.net/AS32934#_prefixes6) most of it is registered in Ireland... their main prefix is a /32, so the first 2 groups of digits are given to them by the RIR (RIPE probably, since its Europe) and the rest is up to them... they can have anything in there in hex... I have seen traceroutes with dead:beef, deca:feba:d, etc... its up to the net admin to make it out how they want... what would be custom is if they had that at the start of their block...
Such kids-seniors relation is not a requirement of nuclear family structure at all. Somehow people managed to keep nuclear families intact with very wide range of intra-generational attitudes.

A lot of critique of nuclear family is talking specifically about family where kids are raised by parents and how that is unfair to kids who weren't so lucky with good parents. In the early soviet union, some of more radical revolutionaries wanted to just put all kids into foster homes to ensure a fair start for everybody. And prevent non-state-mandated ideas from finding a way from parents to kids. Intra-generational legacy is a touchy topic as well.

I read a post recently talking about people learning to be artists. The point they were making was that the 'taste' to judge good from bad is inherent in a good artist, but the ability to produce good art develops over a long time.

That means that artists spend a lot of time producing work that their taste declares as below standard. It's not until you've been working for a while that your ability catches up with your judgement. This lag, causes a lot of people to give up concluding that they're not that good.

Python IIRC stores intermediate results in memory, it doesn't perform long chains of calculations entirely in FPU registers. This ensures the intermediate results are predictably rounded.

JavaScript JITs blindly use SSE without checking if it is available. Bytecode interpreters behave the same as above.

I can elaborate on that, see depression is caused by you in the end, not by circumstances (which may steer you in the direction, but finally you "do" it). See what they do in yoga is they know how to change chemistry in your body in a more natural and balanced way than antidepressants.

It's the same approach but much more subtle than modern medicine can do, and I'm not saying medical thing is worthless - it is super helpful with more "physical" cases, what is called depression, anxiety, stress just involves more aspects. One thing about external chemicals (antidepressants in this case) is you may become addicted to them in many ways, while in yoga it's your own body which is doing the whole thing.

Well I can also show you many other people who feel the same about kriya yoga. Unless you try it you can't know.

Well, FISC judges typically operate individually and deal in non-public hearings without giving opposing views a chance to be heard, with no oversight or anything.

Judges to the FISC are appointed by the Chief Justice without any further oversight and the Chief Justice is politically appointed as well. (A democratic process for nominating judges isn't easy,. but vesting the power into a single hand is questionable)

Also the low number of modified or rejected warrants is suspicious (the positive interpretation might be that warrants are well prepared and thus qualify)

For me as an foreigner to both cases, both approaches are problematic and I have no democratic influence over either process. And yeah, I trust US more to be aligned with my interests, but neither is a happy thing for me.
