HyperCard has a much bigger legacy than Myst: it inspired how Web browsers work, including the overall navigation look and feel, JavaScript, even the hand pointer! It's one of those super influential things that most people don't know about.
Sorry, I made a few comments on this thread and naturally you wouldn’t have seen all of them.

Duh, you just use the power generated from the water to pump the water right back up to the top. And to mine crypto. And there's unlimited free cotton candy. Because a 12 year old came up with the concept.
He's the best.
Nice to see progress here, though 1P continuing to move away from local control to force subscriptions is regrettable. Even so, the UI hasn't been matched yet IMO, which is important for getting the less technical to use it. We're sadly also still a ways away from passwords being eliminated entirely, so it's still very important to get everyone using one.

One thing still missing I really hope to see though is the local application (on all platforms) supporting hardware tokens for unlock (with a backup master option). That'd be a nice extra security+convenience option which would work across platforms.
Many many moons ago, before the iPhone existed, I found myself reading an email from Steve Jobs while coding in the garage at 3:30AM.

The email exchange had to do with difficulties we were having working with Apple hardware in the context of hardware we were developing. I reached out to Steve at 3:00 AM and got a response thirty minutes later. After replying with a detailed explanation of the issues we encountered I got a one sentence reply back from Steve: "I understand".

The next morning, actually, later that same morning, I got a call from someone from Apple. He said "Steve asked me to take care of this". That person was Greg Joswiak. We were invited to come up to headquarters to discuss the issues and work out a path forward. I met him and many other members of the engineering team while there.

> with some simple jquery

Plain javascript, if you want to go down that route. Jquery is around 30kb of javascript, if I remember correctly.

> but that's not cool and not good on your resume

On the contrary, writing vanilla js is pretty cool and impressive on the resume, when every other developer puts react there; but it's pretty miserable too, compared to using frameworks.
Must be rain water, that comes from above.
That was an interesting read, thanks for sharing.
The mother seemed to be trying to catch it. Hard to understand.
I just moved from (paid) 1p to bitwarden at the weekend due to lack of proper Linux support. I was just testing bitwarden and found I couldn't easily get a good export of my passwords from 1p on Linux, because only their desktop apps support that. It won't run under wine and I ended up installing a Windows VM specifically to do the export.

Was so frustrated at this it pushed me to move to bitwarden. Good for them for sorting it though.
Appreciate your response. I'll reiterate what I've said past threads - I love 1Password a lot, and used it exclusively from 2012 to early 2020, in addition to using it personally I converted majority of my extended family to it as well. What irks me is that I paid for the desktop (macOS) app and iOS app once back in 2012 and once again for 1Password 7 (or 6?) upgrade, that is not enough to support the company and is primarily the reason why AgileBits went subscription route. Again - 100% understand and I'd like to support this business.

I really don't want to store my passwords on your "servers", and I'm sure there are few others like me - not a majority. In our case BitWarden's idea of paying for a subcription (happy to do it), and hosting BitWarden in my own network - pretty close to local vaults in terms of analogy.

I still like the UX of 1Password, if you ever allow local vaults and still charge subscription, I'll sign up on day 1 - I just don't want anything to do with my entire vault being hosted elsewhere, potentially irrational but when it comes to things we store in 1Password and the like - CC #, Passport number, decryption keys, licence codes, launch codes (jk) - I feel OK with my irrational paranoia.

Thanks again for making 1Password!
That is a good point. I could be wrong but I think the 10k reporting (at least with banks) was from the bank secrecy act[0] of 1970. Thus 10k adjusted for inflation is approximately 65k in 2020 dollars. The limit should be increased to 50k IMO

IMO TikTok's draw is that it's the anthithesis to American / western social media culture. It's algorithmic bias towards mainstream, playful, feel good content is a byproduct of Chinese style censorship.

What you see on TikTok reflects content that survives the crucibles of Chinese internet filtering. "Creative and Joyful" opiate for the masses. This is an often overlooked aspect of Chinese social media / content filtering philosophy that has coalesced over time - block out the bad and divisive while elevating mundane joys. It's how the 50c operates, it floods the airwaves with small happy platitudes and avoids debates because engaging and challenging controversial topics is how toxicity is produced. It's counterproductive to even try. The last thing Chinese social media platforms is designed to do is to start revolutions, encourage radicalization or sectarianism among impressionable audiences, things western social media platforms are dealing with now, and why they were blocked in China in the first place. Of course, politics and toxicity exist all over Chinese internet as well, they just get filtered / harmonized over time or never reach many eyes in the first place. It maybe a bad unitary model for governing cyberspace policy for an entire country, but it's has merits when applied to certain audiences / networks and the west should learn from it even if TikTok gets banned.
To me, client-side rendering feels like an end-run around incompetent full-stack devs who don't know how to make server-side rendering fast. So why not throw a big blob of JS at the user (where their Core i7 machine and 16GB of RAM will munch through it), and on the backend, the requests go straight to the API team's tier (who know how to make APIs fast).
It shutdown Wu han in china but let WuHanians fought to the world. Index cases in quite a lot of cities like those in northern Italy are done because of this. And those better like Taiwan (and initially Hong Kong) is due to no chinese visit for some political reasons.

It is Wu han virus. Not because of any anti-china or cons. theory. Just fact.

High levels of sleep deprivation is only common for the first few months.

This tends to be a problem on teams that don’t properly evaluate costs of new technology and so churn like crazy for very minor productivity increases.

I wouldn't say that it never caught on, but rather, that its successor (the Web), which it inspired directly, succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
> the only thing keeping your secure and private is Apple's pinky promise

Indeed, that's what I meant in the last paragraph. It also means an open source, verified client, with fully secure encryption, is still powerless against the OS capturing keystrokes. You have to rely on that pinky promise either way unless you control the hardware.
This happened to me. I typed the last paragraph of my thesis shortly after my wife went into in labour. It was very satisfying to hear it printing while I was filling the birthing pool in our living room!
Right, I agree that we can prove things about algorithms, but it seems that if you define truthfulness such that an AGI can't prove that about itself then it follows it won't be able to prove it about anything more complex than itself—unless there's some property of "self-ness" that makes and AGI's self (or a copy of itself) especially hard to it to understand, which would be surprising.

I think the confusion in this thread's over what people normally think of when they think of an AGI creating a superior AGI, and this particular definition of "superior" that requires a a particular kind of knowledge of superiority, which is something we don't really do ourselves very much, so far as how we "know" all the various things we "know". I don't think it makes much difference to people whether an AGI "knows" its creation is superior by some measure because it's got certain knowledge of its "truthfulness" (and it may not be clear why that, in particular, should matter, even), or whether it's just statistically determined with 99.999999% certainty that it is—which, again, is basically how we operate for the most part, except we're rarely that certain.

Like, if one person makes an AGI that doesn't seem to be able to operate at a level higher than a rat, and another makes one that promptly becomes god-emperor of the galaxy, I don't think anyone's gonna get hung up over whether we know "truthfulness" of them both before saying which is the superior AGI. If an AGI does the same, I guess we can rest assured that it doesn't know, for a certain definition of "know", that it has—but it may "know" it in plenty of other senses that we use the term.

This is a fairly infantile argument, which essentially boils down to: If your defense isn't perfect, it's silly.

Wearing a mask isn't to do with perfectly isolating your biological self from society. It's to do with numbers. I would suspect we've _all_ been exposed to at least a few thousand COVID-19 virons - luckily a significant viral load is measured in the billions of particles. Wearing a mask simply decreases the probability of spreading or catching a significant number of particles.

No defense for Cuomo, and agreed about using a video call, but suggesting that there is a hypocrisy in "wear it as much as you can" is silly. This is a bit like suggesting firewalls are pointless since a few IPs are whitelisted, or a coding standard is pointless because a few people don't follow it perfectly.

What the world needs now, more than anything, is pragmatism, not idealism.
Yeah, that was it.

Thanks for the link1
Because the modern web is based entirely around invading the privacy of every user as much as possible in order to sell their private details to advertisers. If Twitter's money came from users in the form of subscriptions or purchases, rather than from advertisers in the form of paid, targeted ads, this would be guarded information, rather than shared.
> Their parents probably had to live with family for financial or cultural reasons.

Not sure there's any evidence of this. The article is talking about people in their 50s and 60s, not "the elderly" you referred to in your original tweet. My (pre-Boom) grandparents were certainly not living with their parents when they were in their 50s or 60s (or indeed at any age after adulthood).

Angular, React, Vue, etc. are all getting better reducing the bloat. Javascript packaging and tree shaking is also much better. A lot of old compatibility stuff for IE etc. also can be dumped now. JS compilation got faster. The reason we are not seeing any speedup is the code that is not needed: Tracking and advertisements - this stuff seems to fill any size and speed gains.
In the pricing section I see there's a limit on videos. Is this a monthly limit or total limit. For example, free tier says 5 videos, is that 5 per month?
> This narrative has been going hard for the last 6~7 years. For me, it's difficult to pinpoint all the causes of this.

I always thought it came with the serverless meme. All those services used to do that cost money, so the decision was made in a lot of places to put the work on the client. New people to the industry maybe haven't connected the dots and think it's for scale when it's really for costs.

It's funny, you say

> It doesn’t matter what our opinions are or what we have/haven’t seen. The only thing that matters are what the performance measurements say in numbers.

But your only argument here is not numbers, but appeal to authority:

> > I'm not a front end dev

> But I am.

I don't have any particular reason to doubt you, but if objective numbers should rule the day here, maybe you could link to an article comparing the performance of a simple application using CSS selectors and then switching to using the DOM API?
Presidents don’t have the authority to force the sale of U.S. companies, let alone foreign companies.

This is true in so many different applications.
The president can’t tell anyone where they can or cannot advertise.
Could you provide said numbers? Maybe you have seen a lot of pathological cases, but that might not be representative.
I think you're missing the point, it's an elaborate joke to draw attention to Iran's difficulties:

> As a way to get around the imposed embargo, mining would have to be done secretly and undercover. Hence, a hybrid type is proposed, a mining farm that is juxtaposed by a vertical water theme park. The water infrastructure hides the hi-tech facility [...]

And that's on a public website. No way they're being serious. I think it's pretty funny;)

I primary drive the latest version and its my favorite mac to date (and I have the pro + imac + ipads + iphones). I have found that if you have a little bit of patience for loading, everything works just fine and the form factor beats everything for real work on the go.

If they are really creating an ARM macbook, this will be a great product and this chassis is definitely the right one to start with.
Then provide some numbers?
Your [1] seems to be missing.

> This is why pretty much every customary system involves a lot of units that are twice or three times the next smaller unit.

I think easily of units that step up by a multiple of 6 (inches and the various time steps), but nothing immediately occurs to me where one unit is directly twice or thrice another. (Oh, except tablespoons, which are three teaspoons.) What examples am I missing?

I’ve been using 1Password every day for over 11 years now. The oldest passwords I’ve got stored are for Twitter and Dropbox (yes, the passwords have been changed but the records were first created in 2009).

It’s one of those apps which has been made with proper craftsmanship and care, so while I’m not a Linux user, I’d have no problem recommending based solely on Agilebit’s reputation.

The license JSHint is moving to is MIT. It is by far the most common license used in OSS libraries and it allows usage or re-licensing in proprietary software.

That is the context from which I'm speaking, where enforcing openness through legal means is not a concern as the license is permissive (I imagine you were thinking of protecting GPL software, which is kind of the opposite situation). There have been zero court cases involving legal dispute over MIT licensed software.

I don't really like paying extra on a streaming service I'm already paying for. However, I'll be really, really upset if this is a easy-click-to-purchase system that my kids can select. I have profiles for the kids set up but who knows if that'll save me.

I have no interest in paying for this and certainly don't want to deal with this being splashed all over just baiting me (or the young ones) to click.
Just read this too, and it's looking like it's just under three times what Timothy McVeigh unleashed in Oklahoma City.

This kind of unnerves me a little.

Seemingly, a couple of tons of this not-entirely-impossible-to-get-ahold-of-chemical could seriously screw up national infrastructure.

We've had decades of fairly organised terrorism here in the UK, so perhaps I should know better, but it's a bit of a shock to realise that a 'manageable' quantity of otherwise fairly standard chemical stock is capable of producing something as dramatic as this.
In a previous job, we had a server room with double doors protected by a keypad on the outside and a capacitive touch plate to open from the inside. There was at least a good quarter inch gap between the doors. I opened it with a coat hanger just to verify that it would work.
There are 2 separate issues. Firstly, are people correctly estimating their priors, or are their priors unfounded.

Secondly, and more importantly I think, what effects does a 'correct' bias have when it starts interacting with other people. It might be the optimal choice in isolation. But that doesn't make it a good idea game-theoretically if everyone starts doing it.

The end result can be difficult to explain though. Because it means that not taking certain useful information into account leads to better decisions.

I think that, sometimes, we argue that a systemic bias is stronger than the statistics warrant. When sometimes the argument should be that sysyemic bias, statistically warranted or not is harmful.

(Note, my original comment was me making the mistake I argue against in this post)

Exactly. I hate to use the phrase "it just works," but the number of things I have to "break" in windows to make it usable is too damn high.

For example, I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that's whipped out on rare occasion to simply act as another computer when I need to test something. It works fine. It's on macOS Yosemite, I think, but it's certainly not up to date since most of its time is spent powered off in a closet. Whenever I boot it, I usually get a banner saying it got a security update or something while I'm using it.

I also have a tower PC that is used for tower PC things, also rarely. It has Windows 10 Enterprise Eval, and I decided to be a good consumer and give it a license because it's been unlicensed since 2017. It's also running far slower than it should be for the specs it has. Turns out, it hasn't updated since 2017, but that's fine, I'll just update it.

Well, I can't license it without updating. The build's expired.

I also can't seem to get it to discover that the Fall 2017 build of Win10 is not the current build. I think that's because it's unlicensed. I'm currently working on getting Windows reinstalled, I'm probably fucking it up some way, but I don't use this PC enough to warrant spending this much time on it.

What I'm trying to say here is that there is a decent amount of fanboyism contributing to Apple's success. However, the little things they do to make their software work better makes it worth it in my opinion. I have never had an issue with a Mac being too "out of date" to do stuff on; that 2008 Macbook Pro still works (with the wonders of an SSD). That's what sold me.

I was considering getting a windows laptop to replace my current macbook pro, but this experience, combined with many others, doesn't make it worth my time to save that money.
I installed TikTok out of curiosity after reading this article. I scrolled without stopping for a couple hours and then uninstalled the app.
