> Imagine if the real Superbowl wasn't held in 24 years due to global warming and may never happen again, perhaps then it would be more of a priority.

I don't think that is a good comparison. The Superbowl is held every year, but the Elfstedentocht has always been a rare event depending on extreme winter conditions. From the first event in 1909 until 1997 there have been 15 of them, with the longest break between 1963 and 1985.
When I think about the human brain and evolution, I don't view a large brain as a good or a bad thing or something that makes humans more capable than other animals or having a competitive edge.

It's weird how humans are so often suffering from depression, it seems like a larger brain is more the result of an organ gaining in size for all the bad reasons: anxiety, overthinking, mental illness, etc.
> they lived off the dole in the UK. The dole is credited with creating

FWIW, slightly odd to read 'dole' here, it's just a slang term for unemployment benefits/'jobseekers allowance'/PC term du jour.

It's not some pedestal-worthy since-scrapped UBI or whatever.

It's partly just fashion I suppose - for whatever reason (self-reinforced, I suppose) there was more 'pride' in it, that I can't really imagine in modern lyrics, but we do have 'drill' etc. proudly rapping about illegal activities and turf wars, which is similar I suppose, in the sense that an outsider thinks 'why is that something to sing about, keep it to yourself, surely'.
This is not that, though.

I heard this story from people involved at the time, and it's not exaggerated in any way, shape or form.

I have a condo in a building with gigabit fiber access but they won’t provide to my unit for no reason (it’s a 4 unit brownstone), so pay $65/m for 10 Mbps. Oh, and when I saturate the uplink (~800kbps) they cut off the entire conn for ~30 seconds.

> Given how much of a priority climate change has been in the Netherlands...

This is an important point for those who don't live in The Netherlands. NL has done an amazing job of marketing how 'green' they are, but has been really terrible at addressing climate change or even hitting their own climate targets.

Sendgrid itself is a major source of spam, and simply using them can result in mails getting filtered. There are even Spamassassin rules (3rd party) that specifically add spam score to mails, if they are sent through Sendgrid.

The 3% may very well be ignorant users who are using the Junk button as a way to remove the mails from the inbox (yeah, people actually do that), but for good measure, things like signup forms and password reset forms really should be protected with a captcha, as any form able to send any form of email whatsoever will be abused by bots trying to send spam.
The world is starting to scare me. I think I'll go live under a rock and wait it out until the pendulum swings back and people stop thinking of the browser as their OS.
Honestly i miss the Java enums.
Those can have constructors implement interfaces and what not.

In Go i actually revert to the old C custom of adding a private length value at the end so i can iterate over all values.

Like so

type Color int

const (
Blue Color = iota
Green
Red
limit
)

for i := Blue; i < limit; i++ { ... }

Go really needs proper enums...
Shutting down exchanges that deal in bitcoin would nicely eliminate bitcoin. Nobody is going to mine an unprofitable coin they can't sell, and except for a tiny number of black market sellers, nobody wants to deal in BTC itself.
According to the specification pointed to by choeger in this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26086589 , failed matches like that can also assign a value to existing variables, which seems even more problematic to me.

I was using the Youtube API for personal access, only related to my personal account and information.

Had my API key revoked because it hadn't been used for 90 days. They provided a link to reclaim it, yielding a LONG form where most questions were only applicable to businesses and service providers.

I answered to the best of my abilities, requesting them to give me access again,also exhausting other available communication options on the matter.

That was about 6 months ago, all I got so far was automated emails telling me it's in review.

> the absolute worst case of using Tor is no worse than the best case of not using Tor

While this is true I just wanted to point out that one does in fact not need *all* the nodes. It is possible to perform traffic analysis and infer which nodes are used by a certain user even if the attacker only controls a part of the nodes. [1]

While this of course doesn't change the fact that using tor is a good idea, one should not let themselves be lured into a wrong feeling of security when using tor.

This is wholly untrue. It is very possible to maintain a subset of the population to guard the knowledge of the fundamentals so that the rest never has to worry about the abstraction failing in any real sense. For example, humanity has abstracted away the vagaries of internal combustion engines for car propulsion through a standardized interface and the "last of the original abstractor's guard" for combustion engines died several decades ago.

Almost everyone in this discussion is making exactly those comparisons. Including yourself. When you're discussing usability issues due to changes to the syntax, the perspective of non-exclusive developers vs full time Python devs doesn't change the underlying context of the discussion regarding the change in usability.

And I stand by my position that defending a bad decision because of the existence of worse decisions is a really piss poor counterargument.

> The quality of developers has gone down in the past 10 years

Well, there we go. Why would that be? It seems a very sad state of affairs. A genuine question: what has happened here? Constructively, we need frameworks for different skills - why are we expecting designers and UI experts to deal with dependency management? Let's let them do what they are good at.

"Developers" is too wide a term, for a start. Cutting through the abstraction and thinning down the frameworks so we can achieve the same thing with less is a very different discipline to making a site look nice. Let's all work together.

I'm actually very aware of how copyright works. I know there is no registration. That's a huge problem, as it leads to abandoned works. I want to change the system to require registration.

> 99.999% of copyright-eligible works are commercially worthless and always will be

Then it should be no problem to have it in the public domain.

> However, we want to protect all copyrightable works so that in the 0.001% case, the right person or people can capitalize on the value of their work

Why?

> For example, if you wrote a story years ago and would like to make it into a novel, it would be unfair if anyone could copy your story because you didn't register your copyright.

Why? The purpose of copyright is to encourage people to pursue risky creative endeavors and then know that they are protected from someone stealing it before they can make money on it. If someone has no intention of making money, then they will create for free, and there is no reason to protect it. If they want to make money, they can register it.

> When a person desires change, they either want it for their personal gain, or have seen the shortcomings of the current system and want change to get rid of them.

The difference is that a man can rarely convince the others of a chance that is not in the interest of the many, but only in his own.

If there be legitimately flaws in the system that he wishes to address, it will be far easier to convince the collective by pointing out said flaws.

> When a person desires that matters stay the same, they are either profiting from the current state, or believe that the current system is better thought-out than it might seem at first glance, and are like this for a good reason.

And the big thing you leave out: that many, many men simply desire inertia for it's own sake and are afraid of change for no other reason than that it be change.

There are almost none in comparison who seek change for it's own sake, simply because they are afraid of matters staying the same.

> nor forcing them to claim sole right to income and assets that should belong to the nation

In theory, it'd then be shared as belonging to the nation. In practice, you'd get the political class lining their pockets in the short term, and leaving us worse off in the long term.

Between letting successive populist governments have free reign over what happens to certain wealth, institutions and freeholdings and spunking it on policies during their 4 or 8 years in charge, and letting a somewhat stable (if sometimes self-serving) hereditary monarchy retain stewardship over the course of centuries - I'm inclined toward the latter.

As a backend dev I have spent a fair bit of time in the last few years fixing shitty outdated frontend stuff. Angular 1, Dojo at present. It would have been so much easier and more maintainable if these apps had been done with server side rending and a bit of JQuery.

I am sure there are plenty of applications in maintenance mode using simpler tech (or possibly not, because the lower complexity means that there are far less bugs?)
In my country, there is an amazing government mandated service called Swiss Topo (https://map.geo.admin.ch), which can be accessed freely. Here are some features:

- detailed maps from 1:10,000 to 1:1,000,000

- hiking routes which are actively maintained. You can create your own hiking routes, and it will estimate the time that it will take to complete them.

- historical data, like historical maps since 1864 and aerial photos

- aeronautical maps, naval charts, geological maps, ...

- basically any kind of data that you can find on maps, such as land registery, water planning, spatial planning, etc.

I am not sure if other countries provide this level of service free of charge. I would be curious to see what other countries offer on this topic.

And as long as you’re not trying to do a case-sensitive search.
One major thoroughfare in London changed (if I remember right) from one-way in one direction, to one-way in the other direction, to two-way, in the space of a couple of years.

People got used to it very quickly, to the extent that they would not remember the change ever happened.

If you have a broad enough roads to have two-way streets everywhere, there's little motivation for it to change. [Edited to note: at the level of individual cities, OSM's directionality was often estimated to be 100% correct]

But, with some narrower one-way streets, there becomes a clear motivation to tweak things to improve traffic flows (and also tweak the surrounding two-way streets).

I don't know exactly either, but there are some clues I thought of after I posted that story. I remember we were cheering for Flemish cyclist Fons De Wolf since he had won the stage the day before. I found out that he won stage 14 in the Tour De France of 1984 (which means my earlier estimation of mid to late 80's was not entirely correct), so the stage we observed from a distance must have been stage 15, from Domaine du Rouret in the Ardèche to Grenoble (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Tour_de_France#Route_and_... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Tour_de_France,_Stage_12_...)

Sure enough, that passes through the Drôme departement where we were on holiday. I don't have the exact route for that stage, but it's described as a hilly stage so I assume it passed through the Vercors Massif on its way to Grenoble. That's most likely where we were that day, but where exactly I can't tell. I could ask my father but I don't think he'll remember either. It's quite a long time ago, after all.

And as our prime minister strongly advised his fellow countrymen to avoid travelling abroad unnecessarily last October as the virus spread and our economy took a hit, our king and his royal family sat on their royal arses in a government plane en-route to the private royal holiday home in Greece for a well-deserved royal holiday break. He was already aware of the prime minister's message before he left; he just didn't think it applied to him nor did he think about the example he was setting.

This is true at every level of chess. The thinking optimum is somewhere between "playing without caution" and "over-analysing". Over-analysing is theorically the best but because we're not computers there are mistakes in our resulting assertions.
Web3 means a lot of things to a lot of people. In this context the decentralization enabled by blockchain or federation is probably what the GP is talking about. With a decentralized app you can't be banned in the same way (though this presents other problems).

While blockchain based technologies are often cited as an example of Web3, and some of the worst hype offenders are pushing this. It's not exclusively blockchain.

In some ways Web3 is a return to earlier internet where there were open protocols rather than everything being controlled by companies. Redecentralize[0] has a great set of founder interviews talking about some of the projects and challenges.

To be clear it's not necessarily anti-company, just a recognition that a handful of companies controlling everything is problematic. Coupled with a recognition that running at the scale of the Big 5 is prohibitive (e.g. server costs, preventing malicious actors, people to handle problems).

The UX around these things is hard, though getting better. Mastodon[1] is a reasonable alternative to twitter now (doubly so if you cross-post).

Gitcoin[2] is a good example of a Web3 app (all the core functions are smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain).

There are plenty of example of Web3 apps(dapps) on Webby[3] and DApp.com[4] (though the latter you have to wade through all the Decentralized Finance stuff).
