I had this same discussions with a group of New Zealand'ers a few weeks ago on reddit. I was so surprised that the vocal commenters thought it best to return all artifacts to their rightful owners. I tried to point out that one person's rightful owner is another's despot, and what about all the examples of things being destroyed at the hands of poor stewardship? The main retort was "New Zealand is not some backwater country" which of course I agree but where do you draw the line? That's when I backed away slowly realizing the frothing mob was not interested in preserving shared history as much as revenge/retribution for colonial slights.
These are actually pretty awesome questions to ask in an interview. Thanks!
Why would the Nazis not be rightwing?
I suppose so, but I imagine psychopaths can still understand it at the intellectual level. Not something I know much about.
Hi, Indonesian here. The Dutch also marauded throughout Asia, to the point of genociding wnole populations of spice islanders just to keep controls on commodities

There are too many others sins of the VOC and Royal Dutch colonial authority for me to list still; regardless, no one is a saint.

We hate both colonists equally - well, one colonised us for 350 years, the other for 3,5 years. But both are hated still.
That's not a problem, that _is_ Poe's Law. That you can't be sure.
the thing with web apps is - it's slow, but it is the Java's original goal from the 90s "write once, run everywhere" actually realized. Plus, built-in collaborativeness and automatic updates. And, easier to get developers.

Native is nice, native is fast, and it will have its place (compare how bad is Google Meet compared to Zoom with respect to CPU/RAM), but web is becoming "good enough".
Along the same lines as the article, I've started thinking about internal code as ETL - all code.

There is some faucet, transformation and then a sink. Only at the sink does external state get mutated.

It helps because transformations can be closer to pure functions and you know there is no state changes until you've hit the sink/loader.

Not sure yet, I haven't concluded it's the right way for me, as it has saved a few headaches here and there - but I'm sure I've unknowingly caused more else where just yet unseen.

Also for the author, my favorite word of idempotent - given the same inputs - always get the same output.
See the 'forgot' bit above.
They did the same with the wired headphones. Removing the jack instantly killed thousands of wired headphones.

The play around control of DNS infrastructure is an interesting one, and it will be exciting to see how that plays out over the coming decade.

Should a trifecta of corporates control resolution, it would be only natural for alternative roots. Over a certain market penetration threshold this could form a perfect moat. Everything that made AlterNIC and its ilk fail is irrelevant now.
The problem with far left (or far right) formations, is that their biggest oponent is not the far right. It's the moderate left. Almost no one from far left starts outright supporting far right, but a lot of people "seep in" to more certer oriented views as they age. Also the only way to get into places of power in a "attention economy" is to be more radical than all the rest. Most people do not have any political views at all. The "silent majority" is a myth. Those are people that will just bend to anything that is mainstream, while complaining about this at home. The reason for that is that they do not have an integrated political view that is sufficienty important. It's just a third rate thing, while for the radicals it's the most important thing in the world. Political environment is developing based on movement. If there is no shift, there is no place for people to make careers, that's why no one who is seriuous about being a politician will stick to defending the center. An attack position will always yield better result than a defensive one. You do not have to have answers to all the possible problems, in reality you do not have any answers at all, just prove that your oponent does not have answers to SOME problems. It's a game that we cannot avoid playing and a game that makes everyone lose in the end.
The SaaS Onboarding Flow
Not really worth it to be honest, as the BL602 is 2.4GHz only (it's aimed at IOT after all), and only b/g/n (no ac, let's not even talk about ax). I don't get why Pine64 would look at this, and not let's say mt76 based devices…

MT76 firmwares are pretty small (of the order of 100kB), while Intel Iwlwifi firmwares are like 1MB, and ath10k-ct is like 200kB big, so it means reversing MT76 firmware is probably a bit easier.

Oh, yeah, it's probably not RISCV so no hype.

Good luck to them anyway, more "open" firmware, the better.
Yeah, it's wild how much better bol.com or coolblue looks when you compare it to amazon.nl. I'm glad our local companies are good enough to stand a chance against Amazon.
Thank you for your reply. I have to continually remind myself of this truth, and it's great when someone slaps me in the face with it.
All Google has to do is de-rank slow sites and everything would be fast within weeks.

But they won't. Because ad tech is most of what's making sites slow. They would end up de-ranking sites using lots of Google advertising.

Speed is just a shitty excuse to force AMP on everyone. There's countless other levers they could pull if they actually cared about performance
That is because of the historic lower status of "engineers" as well you need to compare these salaries to doctors Lawyers.

Doesn't that also imply that life is a sort of punishment? Once you get the lesson, you are no longer forced to play the game?
Gray's view is not that there is no progress but that the idea of natural progression, unstoppable, inevitable progress is wrong and dangerous.

In the article it gives the example (a minor setback, I'm sure) of the return of torture in western democracies.

Data: In terms of lives ruined via proxy wars you can make the data show that more people are in misery now compared to less actual deaths. But we can discard this (personally I think its a weak argument and is a distraction). The main point is not "are we better than we were 50 years ago?" but rather "will we continue this short term trend and reach star trek society?".

The warning from Gray is that if you believe that the world is going automatically on the right path then you don't need to fight for it. You dont see the return of torture as something to be fought against, but just a minor setback. You dont see the rise of proxy wars as something to be criticised, its just a setback to progress. The rise of fascism in Eastern europe and the removal of rights is just a setback in the inexorable rise of progress. We toppled Saddam after all. China will naturally move to democracy. Its neo liberal science fiction.

The warning is that any progress we make is not a natural law. "Progression" is created by and can be destroyed by humans. Indeed when you see history through this lens one often stops calling change "progress".

The warning by Gray is that "believe the Long Peace and technological progress put us at the dawn of the Golden Age" is dangerous hubris and is a belief that can destroy the very things that have been achieved.

Gray does not try to prove that no change has been made, he tries to point out that the good changes need to be continually fought for and defended.

Cats are humble.
This seemed a key point:

> We can logically follow this to a future of a
"split Web". There's going to be the "Google Era" Web that will live for a
long time, and another iteration of the Web where us technologists will try
our best to create something more to our liking.

All human endeavors tend toward Towers of Babel. Alternates shall arise and topple Google.

This unfortunately has never worked for me. If I set out to just get started on something I don't really want to do, I will quit soon after; I've gotta fully commit to it from the start, can't play tricks on my brain. :(

Of course, if it's something I want to do but know I shouldn't, like eat a snack or watch TV for "just a couple minutes", then it works fine!
I still remember reading article about how Google tried their first quasi AMP service around 2005 or something like that

As far as I've read they were serving pages to people with other people's data like "Hello, {username}" and stuff, generally security nightmare.

Unfortunely I do not remember how it was named...

edit.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Web_Accelerator

>Google Web Accelerator sent requests for web pages, except for secure web pages (HTTPS), to Google, which logged these requests. Some web pages embedded personal information in these page requests.

>Google received and temporarily cached cookie data that your computer sent with webpage requests in order to improve performance.

>Google crawled every web page it came across leading it to inadvertently deleting web pages.[1]

>In order to speed up delivery of content, Google Web Accelerator sometimes retrieved webpage content that the user did not request, and stored it in the Google Web Accelerator cache[2]. Some law experts and IT authors affirmed that Google would "combine personal and clickstream data with existing search history data contained in Google's own cookie"[3]

>Google Web Accelerator is no longer available for, or supported by, Google as of January 20, 2008. As of 2008 the Google Web Accelerator is not compatible with Firefox 3.0. Google Web Accelerator is still available for download from other websites. The Labs experiment launched in 2005 was discontinued and no longer supported by Google, since January 2009

There isn't a blob-free WiFi/BLE IoT chipset. It would be appealing for many.

It is though?
I've been around long enough to remember a time before refactor->rename was a thing. Now naming can evolve as the class/variable evolves so there's so much less initial cognitive overhead worrying about a name than there once was.

Physics are not changing, it's our understanding of physics that changes, and yes we are very far from understanding them correctly.

The real questions are:

- For how long do we have energy to keep not understanding things.

- Are the understandings leading to real improvements or just more total energy consumption (for every energy reduction there is an equal or more increase in total energy consumption)?

I'm commited to changing to a Raspberry 4 as my main computer with Raspbian (now called RaspberryOS, is that an improvement though) and Chromium before the year is over.

I wish new standards would consider all the effects before releasing, so we can stop reimplementing the wheel and actually build a bike at some point.

Reinventing the wheel for the browser has more or less stalled at this point, and it's sad because I'm all for that: http://move.rupy.se/file/wheel.jpg

Software really worked ok back in the C64 days too, the only real improvement since then is 3D and my position is that OpenGL (ES) 3 with VAO is good enough.

But you are welcome to use Vulkan, Metal and DirectX 12 if you want!
Whilst dealing with unsavoury people obviously isn't ideal, and I certainly don't envy your position. Is this not just the cost of doing business in that specific industry?

Typically you'd just raise your prices to factor in support costs. You'd have different margins for each industry.

Realistically, the reason you're unable to raise your prices is because you're stuck competing with companies that simply don't offer customer service themselves, and hence would undercut you.

If there was an appropriate amount of public outrage (and ideally legal repercussions) toward businesses not offering sufficient customer support, then your competitors would also have to increase their prices. You'd be no worse off, and general customer satisfaction would improve across the board.
So you'll learn to compile Edison and interpret Danish, concurrently?

> I think (beaurocratic failure) is inhumane because it's outside (the migrant's) control

I think inhumane implies malice. This is incompetance.

> intentional administrative action which is against the law.

Agreed that's malicious.

> For some it's that their partner's wage drops below a threshold. Outside their control. I think that's inhumane because once you are in and settled and started a family etc.

That's sometimes part of the contract for entering a country. Nobody is forced to accept it.
No one ever does everything right. But some people have enough money, enough smarts, enough social capital, etc. that it gets mitigated.

We should be seeking to make sure more people have access to mitigation rather than looking for the one mistake someone made that somehow makes it okay in our eyes that they have gone from having over a million dollars in inventory to couch surfing with friends and relatives as the only reason they aren't on the street. And if their social network runs out of forbearance, the street could be the next step.

I'm not arguing he's some paragon of virtue who got screwed. I'm arguing that no one should be expected to be a paragon of virtue to have any hope of making their life work.

Paragons of virtue should see terrific outcomes, not merely "Oh, you get to not be homeless today. Go, you!"

Anyway, it's 3am. I think I shall stop here as I'm not clear more words will make anything clearer beyond this.
A cleaned-up translation would probably be accepted.
This is what boggles my mind: if Hitler and his cronies had been competent military leaders and limited the scope of their war and stopped at the English channel and kept the peace with Russia, or at least one of those, it seems to me chances were pretty good the Nazi grasp of Europe could have solidified and perhaps grown permanent. What a nightmarish scenario that is...

I am therefore happy the Nazis bit off more than they could chew by starting a war with the Brits, which eventually brought the Americans on board, and the Russians, where they suffered most of their losses. On the one hand it seems that it's just a matter of chance their leadership was so grossly incompetent, but on the other hand maybe we can always bank on such types to get caught up in their own rhetoric and they by definition are too ambitious for their own 'good'.
How would machine learning help?
Incomplete compared to what?

There are no hard dependencies between web sites and links fail all the time. The web didn't succeed in spite of this, but because of this.

The decision to use one-directional links was a good design choice in retrospect. It has also kept the web agile enough to keep evolving.
Given that social isolation is known to affect cognitive decline, I wonder why there was no 'healthy, socially distanced' control group. (Or did I overlook it . . . up too late)

Assuming the study is accurate in showing lowered mental capacities, it seems just as plausible that the cause is related to the increased social stress of the life during this pandemic(lock-down, loss of life, unemployment, etc.).
Our software is slow enough and the people who make it already removed enough from what's actually happening without espousing yet another level of abstraction which will make all of this worse. The idea we need so much software it's unrealistic to expect enough people to actually learn to write it we need visual tools to allow people without expertise to create it instead?
I don't know a single compagny that pay the same wage worldwide.

According to the current status quo it is OK to discriminate remote workers, but that is not an inherent property of the system, just an implementation detail. People are pro/con whether they think they are benefiting from the current state of things.

> United States dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan and most it's citizens don't/didn't feel bad about it.

The US didn't drop nuclear bombs on Japan just because the people there are Japanese.

> Why do you think a victorious German society would've cared that deeply about Jews who have been historically loathed?

Why do you think Germans would not care that their government exterminated six million Jews?

> It would've been publicized as a success, not something to hide away.

Then why did they take such great lengths to hide it away?
Gray is not saying motivation is wrong...quite the opposite!
Gray is saying that if you believe humanity is headed naturally in the right direction, that this is a dangerous imagination. And that humanity needs motivation to ensure that any progress we make is recognised as special and fragile. Its not automatic and permanent, humanity needs motivation, they can't just believe in an imagined future and sit back and let the imagined invisible powers of progress happen to them.

The time the article was written, and the purpose for which it was written, is irrelevant. What’s relevant is the fact that it’s now being used to not-so-subtly attack Trump.

Maybe it’s a coincidence, or based on keywords in the article, or perhaps an editor carefully picked this specific video to prominently display below the article. Guess we’ll never know.

But it is quite telling that an article about Hitler/concentration camps focus on Trump rather than Xi Jinping/Xinjiang.

Sketch Cloud seems very similar to Zeplin, which still has limits to collaboration compared to Figma.

Also, the focus still seems to be on the Mac app, everything goes through that. That's still a big hurdle when it comes to collaboration.

Depends how you define right wing.
Were the nazis totalitarian? Yes, but so was the CCCP.
Were they socialists. Definetely yes.
Were they catholic, or even christian. Not at all.
If you say that the republicans are right wing, then it's hard to put nazis on the same plate.
The meaning of the term right-wing changed a lot in the last 100 years.
If you trace back to Spain during the Franco reign, then you will quickly realize, that a lot of the people fighting for republic were in fact far left (including notably some anarchists). Basically the whole republic concept was considered to be a lef-wing thing (and it was for the time).
Were nazis right-wing? At that time yes.
Are nazis right-wing in the modern meaning of right-wing? Definitely not, those two have nothing in common.
Sure we can, as mentioned, there are hundreds of countries with zero presence of Apple hardware, and not everyone is playing Amazon selling to the whole world.

Local market is more than enough to keep ones busy and profitable.

See how many companies in Africa, South America or Eastern Europe countries actually care to buy Apple hardware to test Safari.
I can't agree more. When I started working on Slashdiv, I had looked at the existing NoCode platforms and came to the conclusion that code is the most succinct representation of logic and graphical tools will have to get users to jump through hoops to create basic logic (programmer here, no surprises!).

Where visual tools help is in UI building and layouts. That's exactly what I built Slashdiv for: create a UI and output React code.
Many of Hitler's ideas were lifted from the US, such as the system of racial discrimination embedded in law. https://www.timesofisrael.com/american-laws-against-coloreds...

> A team of talented ICs ships high quality work, but they have one or two very senior brilliant jerks. Other teams do not like engaging with these brilliant jerks so they avoid interacting with the team. Consequently the high quality work of this team does not have organizational impact.

Uuuugh that resonates so much with me. I've seen teams build stuff using evidently wrong infrastructure, just because the team responsible for the right infrastructure was dominated by a few pretentious bureaucratic assholes.
What SOFIA’s discovery of water on the Moon is, and isn’t
This fellow makes an interesting case that Nazis (i.e. National Socialists) were what it says right on the tin: socialists who swapped out class struggle in favor of an ethno-nationalist struggle but were otherwise identical. I don't agree with everything he rants about, but I do find interesting his discussion of the shrinking market theory
