One famous example is George R.R. Martin writing Game of Thrones using WordStar 4.0 on a computer running MSDOS.
Yes, but how would one go about removing posts that violate human decency? If I were to host an instance, I would want to not host any content illegal in my country (Child Porn for example). How do you go about preventing that?
The problem is feeling entitled to services (individual extremists to social networks, Parler to AWS) in the name of free speech, while in reality these problem customers are demanding a commercial relationship with companies who dislike them enough to refuse business.

Despite contrary perception, web sites aren't a limited resource (like, say, newspaper distribution) that needs antitrust regulations. Parler can run its service without AWS, and individual extremists can exercise their right to free speech elsewhere, without imposing their presence where they are unwanted.

I read somewhere the native camera app also does but many including Samsung have their own app instead. Cannot vouch for that.

On the flip side there are QR apps in the top 100 App Store apps because the built-in support in camera is not really obvious unless someone tells you.

I don’t disagree with you, but I suspect learning to write single characters accelerates learning to read. Joined up writing is totally bogus and most of the time I encounter it it makes the author harder to understand, not easier.
Interesting and plausible take on autism. Feels like a Hegelian leap in understanding:

1. Thing - people disabled or shunned for autistic traits

2. Antithesis - people living successfully with similar traits (who escape medical judgement and classification)

3. Synthesis - Smash the two groups into each other at high speed and filter out a new perspective

As an aside, I wonder if autism as a word has any connection to "ought", as in "the way things ought to be". Lines up pretty nicely with mental rigidity and overmodeling to me
Just a few days ago, a friend was having trouble with Excel on a ThinkPad: "My cursor keys are broken! I can't move to a different cell, it just makes the whole sheet move around."

I scratched my head and thought to myself, "Naw, it couldn't be Scroll Lock. Could it? That keyboard doesn't even have it."

After a quick search I suggested hitting the Windows key and typing "keyboard" to bring up the onscreen keyboard. Sure enough, ScrLk was lit up, and a quick tap on it brought things back to normal.

Turns out that Fn+K is the Scroll Lock toggle on recent ThinkPad keyboards, and Excel actually responds to Scroll Lock mode to scroll the sheet instead of moving the cursor to a new cell.

It's a mystery how it got toggled in the first place, but my guess is that she meant to hit Ctrl+K and hit Fn+K by mistake.

And of course there is no indicator light or anything to let you know that the keyboard is in Scroll Lock mode. Thank you modern keyboards!

Hi jeerovan, thanks for the questions. RE "minification": yes, - there's a minified version (terser) as part of the build and it should also be compatible with closure compiler. RE "performance", no I haven't made any comparisons using benchmarks, if that's what you mean. DOM updates are batched together using requestAnimationFrame and the update cycle walks the tree to perform the updates, so that should give you some insight into the trade-offs. RE "better than others at managing live DOM elements": better in what sense?

Yep, and the 2004 incident happened during Navy training on a new radar system. The radar showed the "UFOs" coming from the area of San Clemente Island.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence though, because there's nothing on that island except for one of the Navy's UAV airstrips. They even warn that the UAVs are very small and hard for other pilots to see, so they have a safety perimeter around the island.

I'm not making money from user uploaded videos of young girls, so I don't need to have an answer to that question.

> This isn't a job for the platform. It's a job for the police.

No, it's not. It's the platforms job to ensure they don't distribute unlawful content. You don't want the police involved, since all they can really do is seize the domain and block the website altogether. (And that's exactly what they do for file sharing websites)
Germany is a special case. Recognizing that exceptions to freedom of speech are problematic and can lead to slippery slopes, Germany considers its history to show that they are unable to handle and restrain Nazism under the usual democratic processes.

You're stripping nuance and treating highly complicated situations like simple logical propositions thinking that inductive logic and reversing statements can attain an elevated understanding of the situation.

In function you remain disconnected via privilege to the majority of implications of said issue, and self soothe by pretending that if others only had your level of enlightened understanding then there would be no issue.

America has embodied immigration since the Naturalization Act of 1790, albeit for white persons only. Perhaps you're mistaking a country such as Japan? America is far more liberal than what you indicate. Immigration in the US has always been a major centrist point of view since the dawn of this nation.

There is a second kind of leverage that startups in particular can get out of their developers: expecting them to live for the job.

The choice between a company where (a) you work on assigned tickets, but standard business hours and weekends off and X days of guaranteed holiday per year versus (b) a high autonomy, high pay but if the company needs you to pull a 90-hour week then you do it without asking - it's a tradeoff. Whether you get to write your own JIRA tickets is just one of many dimensions here.

One of those two options is not compatible, for example, with having responsibilities outside of work such as childcare.
No.

My experience with video conferencing is that it's mostly draining people's attention away, while being completely unnecessary. We switched from seeing each other's distorted, pixelated, and badly lit faces in a video conference back to plain old phone calls. Nobody missed the video, so problem solved.

In my opinion, the writing was on the wall when mainstream media started having makeup tutorials for video conferencing:
https://www.vogue.com/article/how-to-apply-makeup-for-zoom-v...

or when people started having legal battles about video avatars:
https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/24/21591488/projekt-melody-...

But also, the problem is by no means new. Here's a great quote from 1996:

"And the videophonic stress was even worse if you were at all vain. I.e. if you worried at all about how you looked. As in to other people. Which all kidding aside who doesn’t."
- David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

I don't know whether or not you've had the opportunity/personal experience of owning two cars concurrently for which you are the only party responsible for doing repairs and maintenance, and where one is much newer (say >10 years), putting you in a position to be able to compare and contrast the two.

Cars are not a good example to point to. The thing that would make cars a good example would be if cars were shown to exhibit a steady increase in essential complexity. In that case, yes, we might point to them and say, "Maybe the situation for software is the same, and we're mistaken to have any unreasonable expectations to the contrary?" But that doesn't match reality. Car manufacturers are as guilty as software developers of producing things that have gotten steadily complex without good engineering reasons to justify the complexification.

(Pre-emptive request: please do not respond to this comment as if I'm arguing that cars have not become safer or more fuel efficient.)

Sir Tim Berners-Lee is not the father of the internet. He created the web, and there's a heck of a difference between the two. The web is just one of many protocols on the internet, others include FTP, email and some older ones like Gopher, Wais and Archie.

The internet was created roughly 20 years before the web.

Spam filtering is at least something I should be able to tackle in a somewhat reliable way. I am worried about telling outsiders from insiders, there are many ways projects go about organizing their contributors! Some use GitHub organizations and give contributors membership (easy to tell apart) some others invite to collaborate via giving access rights (also easy) but some others do neither of those things.
Modern society makes it easier for non-normies to find each other.

Growing up, I noticed that most of my groups of friends were groups of people where there was no expectancy of "being normal" (as we grew up, many of us ended up being diagnosed with different disorders, including things like autism).

Most of us lived in different neighbourhoods and went to different schools. Also, many of my friends _had_ no friends in school or their neighbourhoods. We tended to find each other and keep in touch with each other online (or things like SMS), and it's highly unlikely we would have found each other merely 50 years back.

In the past, people like us surely would have ended up relating with normies, mostly due to a lack of an alternative.

Nix is far more than just an app with its own directory (Which is also the flatpack & snap approach):

A little not exhaustive list of features that Nix provides:

- Not only an 'app installer'. It is a fully feature functional build system where reproducible builds are guaranteed (This is unique with GUIX up to my knowledge) on any linux distribution. Safe-reliable distributed builds are also possible.

- Fine grain de-duplication of dependencies (libraries, frameworks) to save disk space

- Safe, unprivileged installation of binaries in a multi-user environment on a single machine.

- Atomic upgrade and rollback

- Allow multiple variations of the same package with different options & versions installed in parallel without any risk of conflict

- Solves definitively all ABI breaks problem you encounter on traditional package manager, even with shared library.

There is no better boost to productivity when starting at a new place than having a working dev environment in VMs or containers. Bonus points if it comes with sensible config defaults and can be started with a single command.

This is one of those things that immediately pays dividends as soon as more than one person works on a codebase.

It gets worse. If you're caught in a power grab/political game as a developer, some manager consciously use this to slow you down in comparison to their favorite developer.

I was a developer brought into a team along with codebase. They would allow their own devs to go full SV-style, free. But when it comes to me; "please check with PO, create a jira subtask for this"
Or, you know, different.

Virtual desktops (which is the same as spaces in macOS), has nothing to do with Cleave in itself; you still have virtual desktops under Cleave.

I don't know what problem activities attempt to solve, but the problem I'm trying to solve with Cleave is grouping what's currently running on my system after a specific task or a project I'm working on – both for human reasons (concentration, information overload, etc.) and computer reasons (resource expenditure, etc.)
Cables with power delivery have a single wire for power negotiation (CC) and a single pair of power/ground. The connector, on the other hand, has two CC pins (one of which is connected to the CC wire, and the other is not) and two pairs of power/ground. It also has a few other things - a pair of wires for weird low speed uses (SBU) and an additional pin for supplying power to the cable in case the cable itself has a chip in it.

The point wasn't per se about immigration. The point was to have a respectful, intellectual discourse in public. Pick your favorite public policy topic. My point stands, even if we're discussing soy bean pricing laws. Discussing the details of immigration is a massive topic for another day.

To really drive this home:

1) Don't spread hate - there are obvious limits to this. Calling for assassination of public officials counts as hate speech. Saying something offensive is fine as far as it doesn't incite violence.

2) Have an intelligent, evidence based discussion, be respectful and we're trying to move the country forward. Not divide and turn to our own echo chambers. Come to a resolution through debate and concession.

"Christans have always had the idea of sexual privacy, something they inherited from the Jews. We have plenty of writing from early Christians that make it clear that they objected to how open the Romans were."

I would like to add more to this. With the fall of Roman Empire, the early Dark and Middle Ages changed perspectives on nudity because of paganism. Most ruins and statues were seen as symbols of idolatry. This view slowly changed with the Renaissance period, as the Catholic Church embraced perspective that man is the image of God. Many famous sculptures and paintings were made in this period.

These artistic works then became censored because of the Council of Trent. The Catholic Church had to implement changes because of Protestant Reformation. This is why many classical works of art have fig leaves. Michelangelo had to come back to his Sistine Chapel painting to censor it, for example.
That's absolutely true. But why wouldn't magnitude matter? Or the dimension on which you're intolerant?

The comment I replied to just seems to be a "both sides are the same" type of comment that attempts to wipe out the nuance of the discourse.
This is basically the problem I have with Windows (well, had, maybe it's gotten better): a bunch of basic tools are third-party utilities. Microsoft will even point you to them?! On macOS either the basic things are build in or easy to find from a website that isn't trying to push a new toolbar at you. On Linux you just use your package manager to install whatever it is…
Do share your experience if you'd like. I think a lot of people would find it interesting.
As somsone who's currently trying to translate an instruction manual from one language to another, it is... somewhat fragmentary. Yes, you read the text, multiple times (and in multiple languages).

But, the focus is not on internalising the material, the focus is on producing something that makes sense in a different language.

I guess part of the problem is that the source material I am working from is from 1596, in blackletter, and pretty archaic "source language", so the actual process is "transcribe original", "translate transcription".

Autonomy is certainly a huge factor. Providing engineers with the tools and compensation they deserve is how you set them up for success. If they have to think about being underpaid or potentially having higher outcomes elsewhere, that’s mindshare / allegiance you’re losing out on as a company.
