Yes, but "The Internet" is an actual specific thing composed of stuff at OSI layer 1, and various other things at layers 2-7 in the rest of the model.

If a person whose only experience with it is at the software application layer starts opining about what internet infrastructure should look like underneath what their knowledge base encompasses, I would try to determine what if any experience they might have with actually running an ISP.

To follow your analogy, I don't agree with the concept, because it would be more like criticizing an article titled "Who controls the power grid", in which the author opines on some cryptocurrency based solution for something related to the grid, but has no experience actually running the grid as an electrical engineer at the BPA or TVA might have.
The only thing wrong is that that poster assumed the result. Which is not yet proven. But the most likely result is predictable from the fact that Facebook chose this path and what their incentives are.

Read the comments that I was responding to, if it's not clear to you. The GP described this scenario as being realistic, and the parent comment said that this seemed preferable to Big Tech acting without extensive regulation.

That's irrelevant here, and there are probably far more people who are likely to lose their livelihoods if they post unpopular stuff about politics under their real name. I think that political content creators on YouTube supporting their family through money from their advertising program are an extreme edge-case, and they can always move to a new platform, whereas people in the former category would risk their non-political day-jobs and this would have a broader chilling effect across society at large.

And tell me how the solution to this problem could possibly be to give the government access to and control over the internet activity of every member of the population? What kind of dystopian nightmare would we be trying to create? Do you think that access to this level and breadth of data is likely to make future governments more or less authoritarian? Do you think it might attract more authoritarian figures into politics? Of course governments can surveil people currently, but in relatively limited numbers or with the cooperation of service providers, but I can't imagine people seriously thinking that this would be a good idea, or maybe they haven't thought through its practical implications.

It’s poorly worded but I believe the OP was using an example where both the right and the left abuse a system for control and not necessarily the greater good. While it’s true that both the left and the right both abuse gerrymandering, I don’t believe that the latter part of the assertion that they do so purely in the pursuit of power/control is accurate or a fair representation of everyone’s motives. There are people involved in politics that truly believe in what their party stands and moreover, that the opposing party will induce some sort of harm (regardless if they’re well intentioned or not) if their policies are implemented. There is no law against Gerrymandering and this objectionable tactic will invariably be used by the opposing party. By not Gerrymandering, you are giving the opposing party a distinct advantage and the opportunity to enact policies that you are fighting against. The cynic would say that everyone involved cares only about power and while that is almost certainly true for certain individuals, it’s not true for many. It concerns me how some bad apples, opportunists, and some folks with an agenda in politics, the media, etc. have turned so many into cynics. There are many good people in politics and the media — people who care deeply about their work and their impact on society. We should find ways to discuss specifics and not in generalities.

> I expect free time will disappear if children ever come into play

That would very much depend on how you choose to live.

As for me, living in Thailand and being a father of one daughter, I need to earn about 1.500 USD per month for our monthly needs. Which is easily achievable for me with less than a week of work. All extra money I earn above basic needs, I invest.

My current client sometimes has work for me 40 hours a week, sometimes only 40 hours a months. As such, I have plenty of time to dedicate to my own hobbies.

But this is only achievable because I left The Netherlands and decided to work remotely. And I do understand these kinds of choices are not possible for everyone (some people would find it very hard to live in another country, far away from family and friends, for example).

In our field and by making suitable choices it should be possible to have plenty of time for your own hobbies and projects.

It's a double-edged sword. There are Chinese businessmen who chose not to do business in China, restricting themselves to foreign markets, because they are worried about IP theft in China.

But the situation is slowly improving. IP protection laws, as well as general rule of law, are slowly improving. Whereas 10 years ago IP protection wasn't much of a priority for the central government, it is now a prioritity.

Because they're memory objects that are managed by .Net.

If you said "Hey, I'm done with this" that's great, but .Net can't actually delete it until it's checked for itself that nothing else is using it. Otherwise you'll inject an error into the memory manager when you delete an object that's still in use.

So you can kinda fake a delete by releasing the last reference to an object and then forcing a garbage collection (in .Net I think you can call gc.collect() or something)(it's worth noting that the .Net docs specifically said that .Net might ignore your request to do a gc so even calling that is more of a suggestion than a guaranteed garbage collection)

Chinese app stores take a 50% cut on every sales and transactions.
To publish in China you need to get a deal with a local publisher/company which takes another 70% cut of the remaining 50% (before taxes). Plus the long and heavy administrative paperwork to get a game approved by the authorities.
Meanwhile chinese game companies can sell their games on western and asian markets without any restriction whatsoever.
There is no reciprocity with China on the game market.
Following up since this is seeing a little bit of attention: I unfortunately couldn’t open source those libraries but I’m already working on their successor. And I have really good ideas how to improve on the original, including:

- snapshot testing to identify unexpected API changes

- auto generated integration/E2E fuzzing tests to validate API boundaries so you can trust you don’t need to test them yourself and can just trust the type system and your business logic tests

- a fully transport layer agnostic interface so you’re not married to HTTP (or REST, or whatever)

- the API boundaries are defined with standards-based primitives (JSON Schema) but simple declarative interfaces like io-ts for end users, but this internal structure makes documentation generation a first principles assumption

- 400/validation errors will be automatically documented along with success responses

- a “choose your own idiom” interface where you can go full on Option type/exhaustive pattern matching for responses, error/result tuple responses, or more TS/Node idiomatic try/catch semantics. But each interface will be type safe from request to response and you won’t have to sacrifice any of the other guarantees listed above. The only tradeoff here is since TS doesn’t have type checked exceptions the other interfaces will probably have richer documentation

Sorry, but I have always found names of this sorts bad for all kinds of ways. IMO the way you say it and the way you spell it should be relatively obvious. Ofcourse there are exceptions like Lift..ggrr..Lyft. To be fair, its quite difficult to satisfy all aspects of a company name. You can't Kodak like the old days!

You're moving the goal post. No the infrastructure isn't in place everywhere and your experience is evidence of that. But it works in other places, my experience is evidence of that. Everyone isn't going to have an EV overnight and there's time to build out reliable infrastructure everywhere.
In the US most mobile carries will hijack your traffic, either slow it down(they call it whatever saver), or replace the data with their cache.

I tried a T-Mobile MVNO or T-Mobile(?) phone a few years ago, noticed regardless whatever resolution I set inside the Youtube app, it is super blur on Cellular but it works fine on Wi-Fi. The I found that the carrier setup its own cache of low resolution youtube videos, it will hijack all your requests to youtube and replacing the content to its own cache (360p videos).

That's how they give you "unlimited" data as you will never able to use it.

I guess I could provide a bit more info.

A generational GC as the one in .NET allocates memory up-front, then passes out references/pointers from that allready allocated memory.

When the GC is getting close to the end of the pre-allocated memory, it will analyse all living objects (the objects it can reach from the stack and global variables, and objects referenced by those objects) and copies them over to a different area of memory (generation).

The area the memory was copied from, is now all garbage, and can be overwritten by new objects.

I guess you could say that instead of collecting garbage, it de-fragments your living objects.

If the GC still doesn’t have enough memory, it will try to allocate more.

In any case. The cost of a generational garbage collector is associated with living objects, not dead ones, so manually deleting doesn’t make sense.

> Plus the long and heavy administrative paperwork to get a game approved by the authorities.

True. I am a game developer in China. I can't afford those paperwork, both in terms of money and energy. I intend to publish my game in Western countries.

True. Besides, china also has cheap labour in gaming industry, where employees are expected to work many hours.

He has a bit of a point.

Thankfully email is open enough so you have a lot of choices up to installing your own server. But purchasing something is all tied up.

The story links to a GBP20 pulse oximeter. If used correctly can prevent un-detected hypoxy patients.

I have read elsewhere that an experience common in US medicine is that these and other meters are not well calibrated for african-americans. the UK has a huge migrant population from the carribean, and indian sub-continent, and if this problem is about melanin in the skin or some other problem in these communities, It might have to be taken into account, but I'm sure the NHS is on that.
It sounds like the people are the problem, not the platform. If anything things could be much worse without the moderation that does take place, and security.
Chinese indie games got more interesting around 蜡烛人 Candleman in 2017. Personally I didn't enjoy that game, a bit too much trial and error, but it is a "real" platform game.

I have been trying various other ones to try find something really creative and unique, and the best one I have found is called Another Adventure from ThankCreate Studio. This one is neat, a bit of a commentary on high tech/programmer/996 lifestyle.

Another game I liked was 雨纪 Flood of Light. It is a fairly simple puzzle game, very low stress and easy, with a bit of sad anime style story. There was a very relaxing fish sim too called 鲤 Koi.

I am a bit out of the loop, I think it's hard to keep up with all the latest indie games if you are not following local media, but it definitely feels like last 3-4 years there is a small and growing scene. Some games even translated in English and got some press in western media too, like Tales of the Neon Sea.

Of course, the vast majority of games are still pay to win, anime style clickers, not really my thing at all.

My grandparents owned/ran a farm, so I grew up in a city but spent my summer holidays there. I learned pretty early on that we don't give names to the animals.

That said I've no qualms about doing the "dirty work" myself, if necessary. I can't imagine how it ever would be, but I'm kinda grateful I got to see where meat, and to a lesser extent crops, come from. As well as appreciating exactly how much work it is.

Nowadays I have a small allotment for growing food, but I know damn well farming life is not for me. For fun at a tiny scale is interesting and rewarding. Doing it commercially is a hell of a lot of work. (Though I know nothing of the American-styled "super-farms" with all the automation.)
