> Who is served by the downvote?

I’m served by the downvote in knowing that what I said was downvoted. Usually, I don’t need a substantive conversation from everyone who dislikes my comment. The signal that someone dislikes is useful enough.

It’s like in a conversation, sometimes I’ll see a frown or drawn up eyes. I don’t want, or need, every time I say something stupid to have the other conversants stop me and say “well prepend, in that usage...”

I think there’s a mismatch of conversation goals. The school of thought that downvotes shouldn’t be used seems to value engagement over value and content. My goal is to learn and teach the most through comments. To convince and be convinced. As efficiently as possible.

Looking back at comments that are -n the downvotes are usually enough to understand what I did wrong and how to improve. Not always, but usually. And I would have hated it instead of that score I had n+2 comments engaging with me for how they didn’t like it. Or worse, no comment and no downvote. I think the latter is more likely as while I will downvote things I don’t like, I’ll rarely comment unless I have something substantive to say.

I think one of the main defects in Facebook, Twitter, etc is that there is no downvote, only upvote. So there’s no social norm to signify displeasure so we get into this weird cycle where people only know what works and it’s harder to know what doesn’t work.

I think social medial would be better off if we could distinguish the 1million upvoted content vs the 1million up, 1 million down, net zero content. But social media doesn’t really care about providing great content, they only want content good enough to keep me screaming and clicking.
Faulting OWASP as a whole for being something it does not claim to be is hugely unjust.

In fact, OWASP ASVS has stated emphatically for years in its introductory pages that it is not an exhaustive reference.

As you have rightly said it is a communication tool utilized to communicate security concerns and mitigate risk.

Again, I get it. Most people aren’t going to read the first 5 pages of the OWASP ASVS or WSTG let alone read the entire documents.
The best kid movies speak both to adults and kids, because they have several layers of understanding. That's what makes them great. I have not found those layers in recent Pixar movies, although I admit I skipped a number of them. The cause may be that they have to be so polished in order not to offend anyone. Maybe also their technical superiority in visual effects is somehow exempting them from telling great or controversial stories.

Millions of pages have this bug, because of Safari's broken navigation. Nice that the big players get the browser to fix it for them. For instance, a common issue is you click a button that becomes disabled and shows a spinner while working, before forwarding to a new page. If you click back from the new page, Safari will render the previous page exactly as it was when leaving, so in a broken loading state (instead of starting it from scratch).
You’re arguing with emotions but no objectivity.

Did you miss the memo where hordes of people drive their trucks to IKEA and buy furniture that’s designed to be affordable by the middle class, costs an enormous amount of energy to produce and recycle and has a huge carbon footprint?

But never mind those things, catalog is paper so it makes it easy to market your argument to tree huggers.

The gas consumption alone to drive to IKEA dwarfs the energy required to make and print catalogs.

Just don’t go to IKEA and next time they won’t print as many! Problem solved. And you’ll save gas too.

IKEA catalogs are culture. It’s like saying let’s close down the Louvre museum because it’s consuming too much energy and inviting people to travel to Paris wasting more energy.

Pixar does this iteration using a technique called "plussing". When you see someone's work you accept it regardless of whether you think it's good. You're encouraged to do what you can to make your colleagues look good. Work is always a starting point for the next iteration. When you do need to be critical of something you should always add something about how to make it better.

> “Pictures may be worth a thousand words, when there's a picture to match what you're trying to say.”

The author is saying that because pictures cannot easily capture arbitrary sentences, text is better. But the same applies with the roles reversed: text cannot capture arbitrary pictures! Instead of saying that one is better than the other outright, let’s move to media (for reading, composing, and programming) where the two can be intermingled appropriately, with as little friction as possible. We certainly have the technology for it...

I'm sure that Texas could have prepared for this cold weather better. However, to be fair, its a rare for the weather to be this cold in Texas.

Even in climates where there cold weather is common, cold weather disasters still happen. The 1998 North American Ice Storm caused power outages that lasted weeks. It affected Ontario, Quebec and Main. It left 4,000,000 people in Canada and 700,000 in Main without power for weeks. Twenty-five people died from the cold, 12 more from related flooding caused by Ice. [1]

Static typing is great until people ignore it. They pass around Map<String, String>, use magic strings for the keys, and stuff in Integers, Enum::toString, and UUIDs as values. And also building XML blobs by hand instead of serializing an object of a concrete class, and also deser’ing it manually on the other end (which receives it over SOAP no less).

I love Emacs and plain text. But claiming that text is everything is ignoring the power of images. The brain can immediately grasp the meaning of an image, visuals are immediately understood, some of the most remarkable things human beings have created is art, that is visual imagery.

Just because our current technology is best able to handle and deal with text says nothing about the power of sound, images, sketches, drawings and handwritten notes.

I've not had any interest in it, so I haven't really say through it.

The weird thing is that Cars has this emotional center around facades and regret and abandonment and the differences between the journey and the destination and it's this beautiful look into a town that got bypassed. And more to the point it has this emotional weight that was still really accessible to a young me that a lot of other kids studios didn't really trust kids with (except for like Miyazaki films and stuff).

And then Cars 2 was a mistaken-identity spy movie a la Johnny English or Get Smart. I don't doubt it was an entertaining movie or something, but it felt so outside the Pixar brand, like something Disney or Dreamworks or any other studio would make.

It was also the first sequel outside of the Toy Story series, from a studio that somewhat famously refused to do sequels if the world didn't have more story to tell.

Like I said, it was just such a weird departure to do seemingly do a sequel just because the world was popular enough.

I keep a pretty tidy inbox by studiously unsubscribing from advertorial mail as soon as I receive it. I make no exceptions. Consequentially, it's fairly easy to notice when an unsubscribe action didn't work.

I've noticed a few times that a company I have unsubscribed from years ago will suddenly start sending me mail again. Usually I'll just re-unsubscribe and they'll go away again.

I've also had it several times that I clicked on an Unsubscribe link and the resultant page indicated I had been removed from the list but I continued to receive mail noticeably past the date indicated ("it may take up to a week for your name to be removed, as some mail is queued in advance"). Conveniently, when I followed the link with my ad blocker disabled the request succeeded (without any change in appearance), but I actually stopped receiving their spam.

I can't say anything about email newsletters, because I don't subscribe to them.
Reminds me of a (untasteful) joke in Family Guy:

A women goes to the "Penguin" Publishing, where the owner is a penguin and asks for her book to be published. The penguin makes the joke: "If you want your book in black and white, black and white has to be in you."

I feel like this is based on a true story.

You're right, of course. The catalog is dwarved by all the other products that come out of Ikea. I personally don't partake in buying them for 10+ years now, because I think about the stuff above. Plenty of furniture I can get without pulling on that supply chain.

What else do you think Gmail means, when they give those recommendations?

Using a tracking pixel isn't perfect, but like what peter said in another comment somewhere here, it's the best we've got. If you want to implement Gmail's (and other ISPs) best practices, then you need to do tracking of engagement. Just because you don't like it, does not mean that is not considered best practice. Just because it won't be 100% perfect, does not mean it's not considered best practice.

You may disagree that it should happen, but you cannot factually say it is not a best practice.

Well this was a very pleasant post to read as an autistic person. I can appearantly just have a lack of self awareness completely out of my control and this is embarassing, and demands harsh unpleasant words, even though this approach is likely to fail and inflict emotional trauma on me.

"Empathy" after a social faux pas to me is kind of like a blameless post mortem. Blunt yet unjudgemental with a call to action and some discussion of what went right. Perhaps your words are so likely to fail because because you're taking the wrong approach?

Renewables don't exist in a vacuum: "Green" miners buying up capacity drives up the price, driving others into non-renewables as a consequence (if only temporarily).

Until we are at 100% renewables, supporting a more energy-consuming product/solution/process while alternatives readily exist should not be called "green", in my opinion.

We always get told that <important thing> will result in massive price increases for the customer, even though in practice it's not always true. For example, we're told raising the minimum wage above where it's been for decades will make everything cost absurd amounts, even though there are many cities in the US with a $15/hr minimum wage and prices there aren't much higher than the ones with minimum wages in the $8/hr range.

It certainly could raise your electrical costs by 20% for weatherization, but there's nothing stopping the utility from raising your costs for any other reason. If weatherization doesn't completely eat into their profit margins, they don't HAVE to raise prices at all. The government could also fund it as a one-time expense.

That is correct, my mistake. Anyway, Bitcoin is neither of them.
This seems flawed. A single Bitcoin can be split into 100,000,000 pieces and spent infinitely. It may cost some X amount to mine it, but that is not an ongoing cost.

Which will incur further fees, compounding the problem. (Admittedly, the fees are usually much lower than the value of the coins transmitted in a given transaction.)
It's far easier for the Commission to simply not consider something that they don't want to deal with than to say no to something that is demonstrably popular, after having been forced to consider it.

> the Commission publishes a paper/gives a press conference/say they really care

That's not what the Commission does. After considering it, it can either do nothing, or introduce legislation. This would be an improvement on the current situation where it probably won't even consider it of its own initiative.

> You need a pool of machines, you need to be able to schedule workloads, you need the workloads to be able to talk to each other over the network, you need the cluster to reach a consensus about what state it's in

Well, no ? I need to be able to start an app, and when that app says 'I'm ready to run', shutdown the old version. So a the extreme version, I'd just need to ensure all my apps have 2 open endpoint for "readiness" and "kill", and one way to register themselves in some kind of central db of "what's running". That's it, that's an automated deployment solution. Of course, it doesn't really do a lot, but done well, it would be something already !

I don't need a pool of machines, or at least that's not the matter for a "deployment solution".

I don't need scheduling, and I certainly don't want something to interfere with how I handle network in my app.

I don't say that all of this isn't good or often needed, but it's not atomic to the need of "deploying an app".

And then the problem arises that the feature set of k8s that is neither complete wrt some utopic "ultimate end all solution" (because realistically, it can't be), nor atomic at all on what it does. And solutions like k8s end up somewhere in the middle, never finished, always updating, and well, complicated !
