It sounds like your perspective is of someone paranoid and from the US. But it seems the author is not, he's like from Russia or something, and most contributions don't seem to come from the US either, and international community outside of the US doesn't care about DMCA, RIAA and US laws. There doesn't seem to be a way for RIAA to get their way and kill the project.

Assume your graphQL use case is working with stored graphQL operations. Once you add this special meaning of null, null is no longer infrequent in the data itself, so using null to represent delete is a good idea on the existing data and then a bad idea once implemented (is this an attempt to delete a part of a query or is the query a delete query, or both?)

A new patch must follow, etc. Homoiconic languages and channel protocols are crafted to avoid this kind of meta rat races with their own representation.

null is actually the null object, so if an object is not expected the use of null is wrong, a key should exist but it's value is undefined. AFAIR even most DOM operations are correct in this distinction.

undefined as a value does not mess with Object.keys or hasOwnKey.. it truly is what it claims to be and is truly distinct from a never existing value in JS.

JSON is buggy, but we knew that. Trying to get metadata on the data channel instead of the opposite is buggy, but we knew that too.

Better things exist to implement a proper interface today, i.e. one can use Symbol to distinguish current runtime metadata that truly can not collide with the data.
> At least now we criticize ourselves and try not to continue the sins of our less civilized forbears.

Which then begs the question: why are you upset that we're criticizing ourselves?

It occurs to me that nothing about the parent's comment implies condemnation; it's only an observation that our language choices can serve to either obscure or expound historical facts.

Rather than confirming a target’s identity with operatives or informants on the ground, the CIA or the U.S. military then orders a strike based on the activity and location of the mobile phone a person is believed to be using.

At the risk of spending my whole day just replying to comments with relevant quotes from the OP: "When one thinks of the cruelty, squalor, and futility of war – and in this particular case of the intrigues, the persecutions, the lies and the misunderstandings – there is always the temptation to say: ‘One side is as bad as the other. I am neutral’. In practice, however, one cannot be neutral, and there is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction. The hatred which the Spanish Republic excited in millionaires, dukes, cardinals, play-boys, Blimps, and what-not would in itself be enough to show one how the land lay. In essence it was a class war. If it had been won, the cause of the common people everywhere would have been strengthened. It was lost, and the dividend-drawers all over the world rubbed their hands. That was the real issue; all else was froth on its surface."
I said nothing about monopolization, I would appreciate if you would not mischaracterize what I said.

If a company’s customers solely use their product, and not a mix of products, it’s much easier for the company to support and build new features for their customers. This is just a fact of reality, and one benefit of customers limiting the number of products they use.

Pointing out beneficial properties of consolidation and specialization doesn’t mean I support monopolies—I absolutely don’t.
I don’t think you can use that feature on the web. It’s mobile app only. Maybe you can use adb to grab them off an android device but it’s not nearly as easy as youtube-dl. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were DRM’d in that scenario anyway.
I hope you're not drawing a parallel between Russian revolutionaries, later soviets and CNT/FAI, these ideologies have exactly one thing in common: their stated end goal. The means to reach them are vastly different, and indeed the soviets had their own anarchist factions eliminated after the revolution.

Property also refers to such property that requires workers to be productive (farm land, factories), not personal property (e.g. a house you live in). The fascists might not have cared about your property being under worker control, but they sure cared about the output being under their control, so I don't see too much of an advantage.

Hmm, I agree with between 50% to 66% of that:

* "Assume good intentions" - fair enough :). I'll agree with that noble posture.

* "Free to post without randos commenting" - mmhm... if you don't want internet randos to comment, don't post it to internet randos. To a certain degree, the whole point of posting it to the intertubes rather than emailing it to close friends & family, is to reach internet randos :-/

* "Based on believing individuals should have the liberty to do what they want, as long as they aren't harming someone" - I fully agree in principle, but I also 100% believe that red forward lights are in fact "harming someone". As I pointed in a sibling comment, I don't believe that's a rule that's there for funzies. "Principle of least astonishment" is crucial in driving, and drivers have lifetime of reflexes based on "White lights are coming to me, red lights are moving away from me / braking".
Can you imagine being on a lonely country two lane road, and then some red lights are coming your way in the opposite lane? Etc etc... scenarios are not difficult to figure out.

>in the USSR, other leftists were acting as tyrants.

Russia had two revolutions back-to-back in 1917, only 8 months between them. First was fighting tyrants, second was becoming tyrant.

First there was February Revolution that overthrew autocracy and provisional government and Russian Republic were formed. Bolsheviks had <24% of the votes and seats. moderate socialists, national parties, cadets had the rest.

Then there was October Revolution aka Bolshevik Coup where faction of communists led by Lenin and Bogdanov took over, killed everyone other kind of socialist and supporter of provisional government and formed autocracy.

Both the The French Revolution and the Russian revolution are examples of "Revolutions devour their own Children". I think the lesson is that when you fight dictators, you must have a plan for after, and watch the most radical factions. Mensheviks and social democrats were discussing elections and worker assemblies wile Lenin and others were planning to kill them.

I also founded, grew and sold a boutique software services co., and am now running a new one.

I agree with all of the above.

The only major note I'd add is: some of the above really depends on who your clients are.

For example, we work with mostly technical customers, taking on things that are not their core strength. But only customers who already have internal dev teams. The way we phrase is internally is "we want our deliverable to be a git repo, and only work with clients who know what to do with that".

This implies a bunch of stuff - for example, ongoing server maintenance etc. is seldom a problem, since our clients already have their own devops teams.

Other dev shops can target the other way - non technical clients, for whom the dev shop becomes their entire technical staff. Those contracts are often quite different, and just to continue with the example above, often will include some kind of ongoing devops work (which may be more of a profit generator than the actual project itself!).

When we invented XML we did not have configuration files as a major use case- although the possibility of ubiquity had been hinted at in a speech by Michael Sperberg-McQueen earlier that year, comparing the potential of SGML to the infrastructure in tunnels beneath the city of Chicago.

There's an XPath from 2016 (3.1) but it didn't have any significant input from browser people - so the primary audience represented were people with large, complex, or multitudinous documents.

There's also microxml, although its traction is limited because of a (relatively minor) backward compatibility issue around whitespace in attribute values.

The use case of people editing small simple documents by hand, documents that did not contain mixed content (rich text if you like, with markup inside running text) wasn't major; in creating XML we did discuss having a syntax that distinguished elements that could contain text directly from those that could only contain other elements, but none of the suggestions were compatible with HTML, of course, or any other existing SGML vocabulary, and all of the proposals (including mine) were ugly and had flaws.

The primary advantages of using XML are

* you can use the XML stack - XPath, XSLT, XQuery, RelaxNG, XML Schema, XForms, EXI, etc etc - on your documents (including conf files)

* people who don't think of themselves as programmers can do sane powerful & useful things - the languages are declarative;

* XML documents can be in the problem domain - elements named after things they represent, not "div" and "span" for example

* you can write a custom grammar-based validation check that both gives some rudimentary QA and also helps to drive syntax-directed editors, hierarchical database schemas and so forth;

* syntax errors are fatal, and there's some redundancy in close tags, which help catch errors that often can't be caught easily by checking the data (e.g. for metadata)

For sure there are things we'd do differently with hindsight, but remember also that XML predates the success of JavaScript and CSS. There are things that would be different in JavaScript and CSS today, too, if done again.

Losing all your property? As I understand the surplus was socialized and they turned education, transportation, libraries and so on into public, free services.

In real terms this meant you were able to just get your bread from a bakery without paying or otherwise trading directly, if you provided your services for free as well. Turns out that many don’t need greed, nor coercion as a motivation to contribute to their community, if that community is based on freedom and equality.

I think this kind of society is something that is worth thinking about and even a goal worth working towards in some capacity. So much energy and time is lost by working against each other, which is really disheartening.
> they have no access to the text of the messages due to E2EE.

Correction: they might not have access to the message text. It's entirely possible (if not plausible: FB doesn't exactly have a good track record) for FB to just self-MitM the E2EE and see everything that passes through their servers.

From their site:

> The verification process is optional for end-to-end encrypted chats, and only used to confirm that the messages and calls you send are end-to-end encrypted.

Even this process--which I'm sure very few people do--is fallible given the lack of authenticity: there's no way to confirm that the given keys are what's actually used for encryption.

Yes, this may come across as very "tinfoil-hat-y," but do you really trust FB to not be exploring every possible avenue to increase their data streams?

Quick Summary

SARS(v1) (2003 now died out) still shows memory T cells 17 years later with no additional exposures.

SARS(v1) T cells show robust cross-reactivity with the N protein of SARS-Cov-2 i.e. good chance of immunity to SARS-Cov-2.

Additionally some people no exposure to SARS(v1) or SARS-Cov-2 have SARS-Cov-2 memory T-Cells present possible expoure to Beta-Cov viruses from animals.

These people also have low homology to the common cold viruses.

The outlook is good for immunity being remembered for a long period of time and will be valid against other forms of Betacovid viruses. Best news I've heard in a long time.
