It's odd how Elixir gets plenty of mind-share amongst Rubyists despite only surface similarities yet Crystal has a hard time gaining any traction when it's virtually a statically typed Ruby clone.
Google believes in running out the clock. In it's antitrust investigations it always responds on the last day allowed... after requesting as many extensions as possible.

The truth is that the status quo of Google being a privacy-violating unregulated monopoly is incredibly profitable, so they're going to drag out changing that to the last possible moment.
> At the end of the day nobody wants their child disempowered

Worth considering that this statement being obviously true and unobjectionable even when applied to daughters is the result of difficult work by generations of women, a part of which has been criticism of which portrayals of women are made available to young girls.

You can argue that that criticism has become less relevant today, but ironically that’s in part thanks to the critics’ success.
To kill FB I don't understand why Google doesn't have a full time team of people working to extend/fork Signal to add a doomscrolling "blog posts" feature with required group/circles/whatever-bullshit.

This isn't about Google capturing the FB space. Simply denying it to FB.

Honestly:

- no ads. (Seriously Google, no ads. But you know they can't which is why this is a pipe dream....)

- could sort your own timeline by timestamp, number of comments, whatever

- can't be shutdown due to content.

Bonus points for:
- Events and adding Events into your local phone calendar.(Please don't give me another calendar to cross reference.)

Google twist the knife effort:
- Free public facing web hosting for those who actually want their "Wall" public. IE companies, businesses, "personalities" etc.

They did this for Android to compete with Apple.
They can do it with Signal to compete with FB.

If nothing else, could they "buy" the features from the Signal team in a similar fashion to Blender? This'd be my preference so that Signal maintains independance at least somewhat.(Money always talks I know.)
Thanks, but am good.

Very well written, super.
Fitzgerald is a writer of the Southern tradition that decries the Northern materialistic mantra. Gatsby is a hick from nowhere who attaches himself to a rich man but gets kicked out by the rich man's new wife. An ambitious young man, he improves himself to the point where he becomes a military officer. While in training camp, he meets and falls in love with the beautiful and wealthy Daisy. A WWI hero, Gatsby goes to New York and pursues the American dream of riches. He earns his money through organized crime but still yearns for Daisy. Daisy marries a wealthy man who cheats on her. Anyways, a love triangle ensues and Gatsby ends up getting killed. Daisy blithely goes back to her wealthy but brute of a husband. Traditional analysis says that Fitzgerald's book is a cautionary tale of the corruption-price of the American dream of becoming a self-made man. Another traditional take, is the wealthy elite's stranglehold on power and social status.

For me, it was a meh. Gatsby lied, cheated, stole to win his dream girl who only cared about her wealthy life style. Fitzgerald crapped on New York. In the novel, Fitzgerald compared Manhattan to a grotesque surrealist painting. What else is new. Personally, I would choose living in New York over Mississippi or Missouri any day.

I'm afraid people now see it as an antiquated and outmoded perspective on free speech. His attitude was embraced by progressive people of the late 20th century.

That said, he too had to own his own platform in order to exercise his rights.

You've left out a whole bunch of key ideas in proof of stake, for example the idea that the amount of voting power you have is proportional to the percentage of the money supply that you own. Which in turn means that your consensus system is ultimately controlled by the wealthy.

How do you know that someone has been dishonest? A consensus system can only enforce rules within that consensus system, if the consensus system has been compromised the dictator can censor any evidence of dishonesty, even if most people are aware that dishonesty has occurred.

You can draw the line anywhere you want for "conceptually simple". We could easily say that proof of work is equivalent to building a tower, and that the tallest tower is used to determine what consensus is. That's also very simple, but also leaves out a bunch of ideas.

i dont follow. moving from cpu to gpu to fpga to asics (each a gain in efficiency) did not reduce electricity consumption, because it in effect accelerated the rate at which the hashing complexity was raised by the network, in effect negating up any efficiency gains. that's exactly the phenomenon.
This isn’t true either. If market share is your goal, just write 3 native apps. No, devs choose electron to speed up development of apps that need to be cross-platform. They only write one app instead of three. Faster dev cycle. In doing so, they aim for the middleground UX between all the platforms and end up with something that kinda sucks on each one. Its a tradeoff that is usually overlooked, and indeed is often sold later as “a unified look”, which doesn’t do anything for typical users that work within a single platform.
Cars are wonderful and useful when moving, less so, when stationary. Allowing a second way to use the area taken by the cars is reasonable — a car parking does not need access to the sky, until we have the fabled flying cars.

No. The Pop! OS UI is basically gnome with tiling. I wouldn't say it draws from either Windows or Mac OS, though I think Gnome takes cues from Mac OS.

I wanted to like the tiling, but I always seemed to get lost after a few hours if I was task switching too much, so I just switched back to KDE, which is definitely more Windows-like.

For me the draw to System76 is the hardware, knowing the right drivers are already integrated, etc. and their focus on CUDA / TensorFlow tooling. The first 2 are common reasons to like Apple and their philosophy...

edit: Oh - like another commenter I misunderstood and thought you were discussing resembling the UI. But no you're talking about integrated hardware and software and I guess that's the point I ended up agreeing with :)

In my opinion, launching a badly received v1 of a new product/feature is not the same as attempting to forcibly change or go against the culture of your platform.

A quote from Zuckerberg's post regarding the News Feed is: "This is information people used to dig for on a daily basis, nicely re-organized and summarized so people can learn about the people they care about."

This does not sound like they were trying to push back against users, whereas Google basically said "no, you do it our way".
TypeScript seems to be doing alright? Maybe there’s something I’m missing but TS is basically a type checker on top of everything JS compiles to, including the whole Babel universe and compiler transforms that support macros and arbitrary AST manipulation. Even its standard config offers a multitude of similar languages.
Nobody said cars have no benefits. But they do have very real drawbacks that are obvious at this point, they just aren't borne by the owner exclusively.

Cars as the exist today for the most part are the best method we have for increasing mobility and economic independence for those that don't live near or can't leverage public transportation (and sometimes in those cases too). They are still objectively awful in many other aspects though.
What a bait and switch. Making the country safe for smut, but we need a “czar” to police political speech.
What's this inconvenience you're talking about? I often don't even realize when daylight savings changes because everything is automatic. My alarm wakes me up at the new correct time, the clocks on my phone and computer have adjusted themselves. Sometimes I wonder why the clock on the oven is wrong and then Google to find out that daylight savings just happened. Maybe some people have more dependence on non-internet-connected clocks or work through the night on Sunday?

Significant but as it's freethreaded you only run one large process. That alone allows for all kinds of additional optimizations that would be pointless with a lot of little singlethreaded processes in which sharing anything mutable between them has massive overhead.

WHaaa? Garrison Keillor hand picked Chris Thile to be his successor on the show. (A truly inspired choice, IMHO.) Chris gave the show a more musical focus, since that was what he was more comfortable with producing. Finally though since covid made doing live shows impossible, and that was the backbone of what the show was, he decided to shut it down. It was super frustrating to see it go after such a long history, but it was yet another Covid business failure. There are many.

> If the problems with JavaScript are trivial, why are the solutions such as webpack, babel, and typescript so complicated. Many companies have whole teams of people dedicated to maintaining solutions these problems.

Because building user-facing clients that run on a bunch of moving-target user machines instead of one big server has fundamental differences and challenges that afflicts all client development, no matter which language you're using nor the platform you're targeting, nor have centralized proprietary platforms that work on a single line of phones (Android, iOS) fared much better than the opposite, disjointed, organic approach of volunteers (the web).

Why? Because it's hard, and hard for everyone.

> Producing JavaScript apps that are both fast to run and easy to maintain does not feel like a problem that has been solved yet.

You say that like you think anyone has solved it. How to build UIs in a world of constantly changing consumer tech is still an open question because it's hard, and it will always be. Apple is still straddling spaghetti code KVO systems from the 70s, and their new-fangled SwiftUI platform is still so buggy that the last three places I held an iOS contract with were clinging to UIKit.
Bitcoin only produces about 100 kilobytes of new data every minute, and only the consensus builders (the miners) need to have any sort of real time access to that data stream. Participants can have latencies of days or even months and still be able to correctly build consensus.

In extreme meltdown scenarios, you can broadcast Bitcoin over FM radio, the data rates are literally low enough. Spending bitcoin requires sending _hundreds_ of bytes, which again is small enough that you can drop down to very robust and simple technologies if you need to.

Bitcoin has no "wasteful energy requirement". It adjusts the amount of hashing you need to do based on the amount of competition that's doing hashing. If 80% of the hashrate suddenly disappears, Bitcoin runs slowly for a couple of weeks and then significantly drops the hashrate requirements for the network to progress.

For efficiency, many Bitcoin mining farms are established within a couple hundred meters of the power plants producing the electricity, which means that Bitcoin also generally has minimal dependence on the global electricity grid, even though it consumes an enormous amount of electricity.

Bitcoin's robustness to societal meltdowns is one of the things that makes it really interesting.
I don’t understand what’s wrong with owning your platform to exercise your speech rights. You still have a public square. It’s as free as it’s been since Flynt was a prominent figure. (I’m happy to talk about how unfree it can be from experience, but it hasn’t gotten worse especially for the people most up in arms about platform access.)

Instead of being constantly on the defense here... Why do you think you have a right to someone else’s resources for your speech? What entitles you to be published by anyone else at all?
Wow...this brought back some memories of supporting FoxPro and dBASE users back in the day!

I always wondered, back then...if these people were really so strangely amazing with their DB front-ends, why not get a CS degree? Or study IT like us pros who were helping troubleshoot? (They were educated, but in strange-to-us areas like accounting)

Now I look back and wish I had spent more time listening to their stories and hearing about favorite experiences in putting their own tools together, and less time blaming their software for weird stuff. ;-) We had an office full of cards. From OS/2 guys to proprietary database people, from hardcore WordPerfect fans (Corel what...!?) to the Mac folks one building over, and their interesting networking issues...on top of our Novell network...oh and by the way, there's a cash register attached to a computer in building such-and-such, that makes it our job to fix, right? (Fixed register drawer with an excess amount of grease I found in an old toolbox; call boss with questions)
Not everyone wants to pay taxes either, but sometimes sacrifices will need to be made so that we don't ruin this planet. Sure having personal space and full autonomy in movement is nice, but it may have to be realized in different ways as we start to see the damage we are doing to this planet.
From their website, the poster also has a recent PhD (2019), so I'm a little surprised that the talk request caught them so flat-footed.

I gave job talks at ~85% of my interviews after grad school, and those talks were usually adapted from my PhD defense. I did make some changes: add in more background, emphasize parts of the project that are more similar to the job, etc. However, this certainly wasn't weeks of work; more like 1-2 evenings to edit the slides, plus a few run-thrus to practice.
You avoided my question: from your perspective, why wouldn't Apple ban them if it could?

What's wrong with banning? Why is that such an inconvenient narrative for you? Why is it inconvenient for Apple? This feels like just a game where Apple is trying very hard to avoid personal (or legal?) responsibility for its choices by pushing the choice onto users. It seems to me like a cop-out. Again, Apple takes away choices from users in many other areas, so why give the choice here, knowing what choice almost everyone will take?

With all due respect, as a self-identified mortal, typing often IS the bottleneck when I'm coding. This is why I often write pseudocode on paper or a whiteboard, before typing things out. Not sustained typing, but in bursts. Particularly when there's some complicated logic. When I reach that moment when I finally have a breakthrough and clearly understand what I need to do.. that moment is fleeting, and it's vitally important that I get it written down before I forget. Like waking up from a dream.

Sorry for the confusion. I meant this by way of the goal of “designed to resemble macOS.”

Totally get that people used to Ctrl shortcuts prefer Ctrl shortcuts.

Instead I meant that for systems like this OS, or Elementary, or any other OS claiming “it’s like macOS, but Linux/BSD,” people are missing the point and it’s not the skin that needs changing, it’s the keyboard shortcuts, mouse sensitivity, and other things that fall short of approximating macOS. (The feel not the look, you might say.)

Seems like the @username identifier seems to be pretty well accepted, and most people would probably prefer that rather than a phone number. Similar to how the mass user base only cares about a domain name rather than an IP address.

You personally my feel that the phone number makes a great user ID, but I'd venture you're old enough to remember knowing people's phone numbers. I am too, but I couldn't tell you any of the phone numbers that I interact with on a daily basis today. In a few more generations, phone numbers may be even less understood by the younger users.
