> You seem pretty moved by this discussion. What is your use case that is broken by protecting the clipboard and filesystem?

Yes, I am pretty moved, because this is ostensibly a technical audience and the level of sheer "I don't know how my operating system works" I'm seeing here is quite alarming indeed.

I don't have to have a particular use case to point out that "applications should not be able to access the filesystem at all" is plain silly.

> Yes, if you want to provide a native feel, with native features like clipboards, and native accessibility features, use the native widgets.

So basically any application that does not use native widgets should have zero accessibility or platform functionality. That's most of the gaming industry out the window then, as well as anybody building user interfaces that an operating system does not (yet) support. Additionally, god forbid you be able to copy and paste on operating systems that don't have native widget toolkits (such as, say, Linux), or even implement toolkits for such platforms in the first place.

Am I permitted to call this a hysterical overreaction yet?

> This is the direction desktops are going, and it's where Android and iOS started.

Neither Android nor iOS have ever prevented programmatic access to the filesystem. You seem to constantly conflate programmatic access and permissions/sandboxing, which is precisely the sort of mistake that "moves" me to see from people who develop software.

> Desktop/laptop OS sandboxes should also provide file pickers to give an app access to one file or one directory.

I'm _very_ interested in how exactly the command-line tools you use would work with using file pickers to grant them access to single files and folders.

Also very interested in how Linux, an operating system that explicitly does not provide a widget toolkit, is supposed to provide file pickers to the variety of programs that run on it.

> An app doesn't need to access my clipboard until I'm trying to paste something in that app

A clipboard is a shared buffer. If something is supposed to be secret, don't put it in the shared buffer between all applications. Applications will continue to have the ability to query/read clipboards they have access to (for, amongst other things, actually implementing a paste), much like computers will continue to have the ability to read/query network drives that they have access to - that's the literal point of having a clipboard/network drive.

Discussing permissions and sandboxing (which most clipboard implementations already do, with app-local and/or named clipboards distinct from the system-wide clipboard) is one thing, but claiming that programs should not be able to interact with clipboard contents via code is frankly rather ridiculous.

I'm a professional earning 1.5-2.5 the average national salary. I'm moving abroad to a new city and ready to pay 20-30% of my net salary on rent. I'm paying the rent and media regularly on time and the deposit on move in. I demand apartment in the price range 5-15 EUR/m^2 per month, in comfortable standard, and the full deposit back on move out.

What invalidates me as a good tenant?

Then given my requirements above, each time dealing with rental market in any even marginally desirable city in EU, it's like being hit by a train driving at full speed...

Sure it's better to rent short term to some banana youngsters from Germany, Scandinavia or other rich countries, who come over to get wasted and get free sex, then to wreck the place. Yet it's me - a person from post-Communist country, so perceived as poor, who have a bad reputation.
And maybe even in the USA.
Consider adding a logarithmic y-axis to each graph, but otherwise, nice presentation!

Edit: also, perhaps y-axes of the form "Thousands of X", then increments can show "200, 400, 600..." and so on. Simpler to digest when lots of zeroes come into play, at least for me.

This was awful to read. The control tower repeatedly warned them about their trajectory, and even advised them to discontinue the approach. I can't even imagine how awful it must've been to those aboard who placed their trust in the pilots.
It's a question of scale and monopoly.

Imagine an Old West town. There's a street running through the middle, and right in the middle, a public square, with a saloon where everybody goes to drink and gossip, and a soapbox right out front.

Anybody can stand on the soapbox, and speak to the people in the square. Of course, the folks in the saloon are going to hear them.

Now, one day, the saloon owner gets fed up. She's tired of all those abolitionists arguing that we have a moral duty to end slavery. And she's the wealthiest person in the town -- most of the profits from the local mine end up being spent at her saloon.

So, one day, she buys up the town square, and tells the townspeople that they can only use the soapbox if you say things that she support. And she's got money, so the local police will enforce those laws.

The square is where people gather. Regardless of ownership, it is not just a public spaces, but the public space where discourse, is held and it is in the public interest to ensure that, in that space, the human right to free speech is not trampled by a politically motivated oligarch.

> I'm under no obligation to amplify your message.

You, personally, are not.

But Twitter, Facebook, and Google are large enough where they dominate everything else, and regulating them to prevent human rights abuses is in the public interest. Same reason we want to impose environmental regulations on oil companies.

Honestly, I doubt I'll manage to convince you with this. But I should hope that you would not want to live in a world where what you can say is regulated by the richest person in the town.

Unless they agree to disagree about the facts in a case where one side is factually right while the other has the consistency of a lie your 3-year-old would make up to stop you from discovering they ate all the cookies.

Agree to disagree is like saying there is no right side in this matter which is okay for topics where there isn't. Many topics however are not a matter of perspective, they are a matter of who is factually right.

IMO in such a case agreeing to disagree can often be destructive, because it legitimises a position which is factually wrong and constructs an illusion of balance where there is none.

If one side says it rains and the other says it doesn't, agreeing to disagree is wrong. If there is disagreement about what the facts mean, then sometimes both perspective can be true at the same time. This is however not as often the case as I wish it would be..
Yeah, just wait a couple decades.
In the south of Europe many dogs die of it; it would be great to have something that eradicates it.
As the world becomes more authoritarian what these platforms do to censor on their own won't matter. Governments will mandate whatever they want in the future regardless of what platforms do today.

I totally get what you're saying though, it's the tyranny of the majority. What happens if the majority of people decide to censor the truth of history because it's not politically correct? What happens if they decide that the confederate flag and what it stands for needs to be stricken from the history books?

These things should not be glorified but should be remembered so we don't tread the same horrible road again against some other group of people. But glorifying it is kind of what they're trying to prevent now by removing it from games.
Chrome developper here: do you have details about this? If it happens that's definitely a bug.

That post you linked seems to me to be another example of othering an argument that goes against their beliefs.

It’s this kind of suppression of free speech (by ostracizing and libeling the speakers) that’s causing so much damage to our national discourse.
Some of these are doable and magical. Project Orion for instance. An actual way to get to a good fraction of the speed of light!
I think it's about being young, you just tend to take all kinds of things in your stride. I'd guess that's because there's just so much you don't know yet that it's just normal to stumble over new things and concepts all of the time. So odd, surprising things are just not that odd or surprising.
This is a GitHub project of boilerplate with no releases. Perhaps hitting the submit on this was a bit premature. Let's not judge it until it's ready to be judged.

Then switch to a different service for awhile. That is the killer consumer feature, the ability to rotate services on a month-to-month basis.
Aside from simpler billing, this would also encourage innovation in the tech space separate from the content space.

If I develop a service with a clever new gimmick-- a better recommendation algorithm, a clever social feature, improved accessibility, whatever, it's dead in the water today due to no content. I have to sell out to a big player to have any chance at traction. If I can just pay for a compulsory license, I can focus on the thing that makes my offering unique.

I also think compulsory licenses might provide a desirable social benefit-- separating the artist from their work in the public's eye.

Look how every election year you get the songwriters beefing and suing "I don't want campaign A playing song B". If everyone knows all content can be compulsory licensed, the air of endorsement is gone and nobody has to get inconvenienced or angry.
It's minimalist. I'm sure Apple would go for it.
Some of the confusion is that people often blur languages and runtimes together. I started work on and then abandoned work on a Node implementation in Java backed by Nashorn. These distinctions become really clear when there's a mismatch like that. That, and some of the cpython issues would have been handled by pragmas in other languages (__slots__, for one), but got baked into the runtime. The unwritten zen of python is "bolt it on."
My dad is friends with a a couple of small time landlords and rents two houses himself.

They all have stories like this. I was desperate needed to rent the place and the against my better judgement rented to this this family with no nothing. Ten years later they move out and I do the walk through and the place is spotless.

Rent another place to two lawyers with spotless credit and references and 18 months later they ghost. Break the locks and go in and.. The roof leaked. For a long time. Moldy sheet rock. Holes in the walls and literal shit ground into the carpets.

Good luck with disruption.
> in the same way that a store cannot charge one customer one price, while another customer gets a different price

A business can still be selective over who it serves though. If company X is caught doing shady, yet legal shit (say, “donating” millions to a political campaign that goes against my interests) I want the right to not license my works to them.
Youtube TV has some issues, but I've never experienced those. I use shield and fast forward with a remote is easy. I've never had it autoplay. I'm not sure what you mean by what it chooses. Are you talking about youtube instead of YouTube TV?
On the contrary, Wikipedia is a wonderful multilingual resource.

English is one of my mother tongues but I regularly read Wikipedia in half a dozen other languages to improve my knowledge of them. Being able to cross-reference what you're reading to the English version of the text, even though it's not a literal translation, gives valuable context as well as perspective on how a topic is viewed by different language groups.

It's also often more useful than a dictionary for finding the name of a flower or fish in another language. Or even some topics that you wouldn't find in a dictionary at all.

I think the OP was referring to Pakistan. More problematic in this respect are the UN accords that allow people from virtually any country to drive while visiting any other country, so you can have people from poorly licensed countries driving in a place where they're unfamiliar with the road system, language, etc.

The EU/EEA reciprocity is due to EU regulations, not the assumption that every EU country has better driving license standards than every other country.

In Switzerland, for instance, which is not part of the EU/EEA but has a variety of bilateral agreements, EU/EEA licenses and US licenses can and must be exchanged within one year (and these countries among a few others are treated equally), and there are no special provisions for EU/EEA license holders to keep their original license, etc.
I think he's implying you can also own part of Amazon by buying shares so it's not just for Bezos.

Bezos owns 11% of Amazon which means over a trillion dollars in value is shared by other people who own pieces of Amazon.
> Its only purpose (and continued purpose) is to identify with a movement founded solely on the basis of hate.

If you care about intent:

I would guess a large cohort of confederate battle flags in race car games are on orange dodge chargers, with the intent of looking like the car on a show centering around the escapades of cousins trying to fight the corrupt county sheriff and county commissioner.

I don't know the intent behind putting it on the car in the show; but the intent of putting it on a car that looks like the car in the show is to identify with the show.

Anybody doing that today is at least a little insensitive and clueless, but that doesn't mean their intent was to actually identify with the confederacy (although, I guess there probably are some people who do intend such affiliation).
I have been sysadmin at that time.

Usually, HTTP servers would be huge bloats of configuration running on huge machines. As a sysadmin, it was not typically feasible to replicate the configuration on the local machine.

With a static website nobody would figure you can accidentally actually do something harmful to the website. The worst thing that could happen was that you made a configuration error in which case you just rolled back the config.

Of course we were supposed to have backups in case the server failed. While the servers would typically use RAID arrays we knew it would not save against rm -fr so there was a backup but backups rarely could be restored instantly.

Restoring the Global Equatorial Ocean Current via Nuclear Excavation [pdf]
I have a sort of answer to this.

The issue seems to be generally framed as "FULL CENSORSHIP" or "FULL ANARCHY NO MODERATION", with little middle ground considered.

The US already have a sort of line as to what it as a culture generally accepts as far as content goes, usually on sexuality (largely due to children). Here, the issue is then where to draw that line.

The key here, as far as I'm concerned is to allow for effective moderation of a community such that it maintains it's identity, but prevent the silencing of ideas and concepts. As such, a whitelist of moderation criteria for platforms may serve as a viable alternative. Said (non-exhaustive) whitelist for things that can be moderated upon would include:
- Spam
- Tone
- Illegal content
- Topic

Selective moderation would remain an issue, of course, but that's a fundamental issue as long as human moderators exist. Of course you also run into the issue of deliberate mismoderation, but then you can use the bat of loss of section 230 protection to hammer them then.

In my loft someone has written their name in mortar on the chimney, along with the year - 1949.

It's amazing to think that person, probably relatively young when they built this house just after the war, is now either dead or pushing 90. A whole life lived with their name in the loft.
> You must drive the speed limit in order to hear the road “sing”; go to slow or too fast and it won’t work.

That’s not how physics works, though. Go too slow or too fast and you’ll hear the same melody in a different key (before you crash).
> It's secondary radar so it only sees planes with a transponder, but that's usually all of them.

In particular we're talking here about aeroplanes on an approach to a major airport (if they aren't on approach then by definition they aren't choosing between ILS and a visual clearance, and if it isn't a major airport why are we trying to bunch them up more?).

All US major airports have a "Mode C veil" which means there's a regulation requiring aircraft near those airports to have transponders ("Mode C" is a transponder mode in which the aircraft reports its own assessment of its altitude based on air pressure as well as a four octal identifier).

You can ask the reverse question - if the Robot version of a mouse is sufficiently similar to a mouse, maybe the mouse also doesn't actually feel pain, and is really a kind of biological robot.

Maybe so are you.

Dualism holds that living entities are special, and can never be replicated artificially. So your question can actually be turned into dualism vs monism (which is not a question with a settled answer).
> Yet it's me - a person from post-Communist country, so perceived as poor, who have a bad reputation.

Honestly, I have had the same issues as a Frenchman in France, in Canada and in Belgium. I don't think it's really (or not only at least) tied to your country of origin being formerly communist or poor.
No, people who check in and post a couple times a day or so. The forums I loved (and some I still love, such as various fan forums the rollercoaster community runs), at least, weren't places where there was something new to consume every refresh where you'd sit on the site all day and refresh every 5 minutes - that... would've been extremely expensive on dial-up internet, for a start. You checked in with the community ever so often, and if there were people you got along with really well you'd add them on a messenger application! Unlike reddit, if you didn't get a response within 10 minutes, it didn't mean your post would sink into obscurity... probably everybody on the forum would at least see the title by the weekend.

You don't need to be paying for spam detection on a small community forum that is being actively moderated. Set up the software to prevent newbies from making new threads without moderator approval, use a DNSBL, have spam reports from anyone who's been around longer than a week automatically hide posts, remove said privilege from people who abuse it. I've never had a serious spam problem on a small forum I was actively moderating. Same with mailing lists. Also, if you do feel like you need spam detection, Akismet is available for free if your forum, like many, is non-commercial.
Maybe the same with some other projects of "programming influencers". The owner has 12k followers on Github, maybe even more on other networks. Those people can post a single announcement that they will do something new, and get like 1k stars for nothing, as well as a hand full of contributors.
Maybe, but that doesnt mean this cant be pulled off. Neural networks were dismissed as non viable and look at them now!
I can't tell if you're being serious but one of the main features of tests is they are automated. They should be able to run as part of the build.

And just because you're not using a library doesn't mean you shouldn't have assertions. All these "tests" do is log. What do I check the output for?

All you need to do to have a somewhat respectable build is uncomment those tests, make them clean up after themselves, change the console logging to be assertions instead, and make them run on GitHub.
It depends, so I'm asking you some questions to give you ideas.

How much of this code is going to be read, reused, modified, studied by you or other people?

Is it opensource or foundational?

Is it of any interest for the general public?

Could you actually spend more time in doing something else which is more productive?

Is this refactor make you learn a new tecnique?

Can you find or develop an auto-formatter that makes messy code just neat and clean?

If you are building models for a process or phenomenon, can the results be the subject of an article, maybe in the future, to show your tecniques and ask for feedback? Notebooks are just great for that.
I think they’re saying it could have been handled quickly by changing their logo but because it was pointed out a lot of people who didn’t need to be involved swooped in to “do it properly” which resulted in a lot more complexity.
