What annoys me the most is regulatory capture by design / moat building as top priority. Incompetent individuals (from an engineering perspective) creating legal moats, such as mandatory inspections that have nothing to do with property value, but provide income from fines for the city / locality.

Construction and materials "solutions" that are by design planned to fail by the end-of-life / warranty, etc.

Yeah, I don't think excluding people by saying trans women are not women is a reasonable viewpoint and it is also exhausting
for trans people to push back against these t*rfs.

I would even go far to say the fact of begin to 'critical think' in this space of someone's existence is extremely harmful.

A hybrid solution might be possible. Put your core infra on AWS, but get a very cheap CDN (or custom solution) in front of it to handle the 60Gbps so that only a small fraction will hit your AWS infra. Do the same for storage, e.g. build your own ceph cluster on bare-metal instead of Amazon S3.

Freedom is speech, but not 'hate speech'. (Who defines 'hate speech'?) What is hate speech except for a reason to stop people speaking. These are ideological positions couched as morality. And everyone needs moral busybodies who know it all, to tell them what to do, right?

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

I vividly remember using a kiosk to order a sandwich at a gas station 3 years ago... Not because the sandwich was great, not because it had a great logo, or a great name...

No python has way more packages like the op said. You can't start projects in rust where you need a significant amount of dependencies because rust is not there yet.

Bitwarden grants full remote access to your computer to the Bitwarden developers if you use the desktop app.

Speed is half of the picture sometimes. I once managed to book a flight on Google Flights and basically completed the purchase in less than a minute. An airline’s website could load instantly and still wouldn’t compare to just having a decent checkout experience.

I think this is actually something which Apple has done a fairly good job of. I remember even back in 2009 in the early iPhone days, the Cocoa API's were fairly well designed in terms of letting you create responsive, non-blocking UIs on hardware an order of magnitude slower than what we have today.

Game engineers are wizards, but real general-purpose UI is a different problem than they are generally solving. A game UI is typically very limited in terms of what types of information has to be displayed and how. Many applications have to support what is essentially arbitrary 2D content which has to be laid out dynamically at runtime, and this is something different than the problems most games have to solve.
I have yet to find a site that autofill fails on. Hacker News works perfectly for me and always has.

As for Bitwarden locking (expiring) when the browser is closed, I disable that as my system is secured so locking the vault in the browser is overkill for me.

My only real complaint with Bitwarden is the macOS app lacks TouchID support.
You never used Disney Life, the decrepit predecessor to Disney+. Now that was a shoddy app. It used to forget your password every time it did an update (which was very often), it crashed all the time and didn't even have very much content. But I still subscribed because... kids. This is how they knew Disney+ would be a goer, they already had a lot of poor parents sending them nearly as much money for a TERRIBLE app with relatively little content.

It's definitely a tough situation, but they did in the the dumbest way possible. By intentionally hiding old menus before the new ones are fixed, they have effectively broken the OS itself for the vast majority of users.

My favorite example of this is the sound output setting. Windows has two output "streams" - communication and media. The old menu used to have a "set default" button that set a device to default for both, but you could also set each default manually. The new menu doesn't make that distinction at all, but the new default device switcher only switches the playback default. This results in things like Skype, Zoom, Discord... seemingly not respecting the output device setting. The only way to fix this is through the old menu, but they have removed every trace of it, so you have to trick Windows by searching for "sounds" to get to the place where you change things like the error message sound, which pops up a window where you can then switch the tab to the old sound control panel.

I don't think there's been a single month since this change was pushed out where I didn't have to help someone with this. It's clearly broken, clearly
In this case I used the word "systemic" to mean "relating to the system as a whole" as opposed to just a small part of the system. I don't know if there is a better word. Maybe "societal" would work better?

In any case, I don't really care much about the distinction between "natural occurring" or "caused by some system". Of course it's important to search for the underlying reasons for inequality, but you can still do things even if you don't know what exactly is ultimately causing the inequality.

If you discover that a school program only benefits some races, because your tests tend to select only certain races, you don't need to change everything about society to make sure all races have similar test results.

You could also just change the admission criterion -- and I'm not talking about quotas. Maybe personal interviews with teachers or social workers would work better for selecting students? Or maybe you should just select the best students from each class, to avoid putting students at a disadvantage if they happen to have a bad teacher? Or maybe you could even change the whole program in a way that doesn't limit it to a few lucky kids who managed to get selected by some arbitrary process?

For example, you could just offer advanced classes open to anyone after school! Just let the kids decide for themselves if they want to try some more challenging things, without first testing them to make sure they really are worthy of your time.
Isolated we all agree on this, i.e. speed is important. But you constantly see high praise for many of the technologies that facilitate this "slowness" creeping into apps and websites. With each level of abstraction we loose speed; either it's languages that "compile" to other languages, or ORM's, or frameworks that solve different tasks, but when stacked on top of each other; everything feels like mud..

> Since free speech platforms don't censor any content, leftists naturally hate them...and they'll do anything in their power to slow them down. Rather than acknowledge this, they make themselves feel better by claiming any non-censoring platform is "hosting far right terrorists".

Parler and Gab certainly aren't free speech platforms, so curious what you're referring to here.

Usenet is a free speech platform to some extent, and nobody gives a shit. Parler and Gab censor lots (and lots and lots) of content, far more than legally required, they just leave racism, homophobia, transphobia and incitements to violence up specifically.
Data Is Africa's Problem, Not Money
Something extremely popular in older games: Collection types with non-uniform elements. Imagine a kind of array or list where some elements are 4 bytes long and some are 6 bytes.

There's this really funny reaction from the audience when Mike Acton suggests writing different types of scene graph nodes to a void* to avoid unnecessary padding which would pollute the data cache. One of the Q&A questions at the end utters its distaste for it cause it's using void instead of proper types.

It's the objectively better solution in terms of performance, but it's just too yuck for many people.

Things we've learned about the iPhone 13 this week
Thanks for the pointer, but I'm initially very skeptical. Not to judge a book by it's cover but that website looks like it was made in 1990. They also don't do a very good job explaining what this is. I found this:

https://sqrl.grc.com/pages/introductory_questions_and_answer...

It says "Using a SQRL app, a master identity is created and shared among the devices. Websites which support SQRL logon trigger the app to securely identify the user."

How does this happen? How can a website talk to an app?

Also where is the source code?
A design to improve the resilience and performance thin metal film electrodes
If you've got clock synchronization between two hosts, there's OWAMP, a.k.a. RFC4656 [0].

The Minimum-Pairs Protocol [1] eliminates the need for clock synchronization but requires (at least) 3 hosts under your control, plus the "uncooperative" fourth node:

> The minimum-pairs (or MP) is an active measurement protocol to estimate in real-time the smaller of the forward and reverse one-way network delays (OWDs).[1] It is designed to work in hostile environments, where a set of three network nodes can estimate an upper-bound OWDs between themselves and a fourth untrusted node. All four nodes must cooperate, though honest cooperation from the fourth node is not required. The objective is to conduct such estimates without involving the untrusted nodes in clock synchronization, and in a manner more accurate than simply half the Round-Trip Time (RTT).

This assumes you're trusting Google. Technically you are still sending a lot of data to them (IP address and persistent identifier, which would allow them to correlate other info they gather from other sources) and they have the capability to use it for nefarious purposes if they decide.

Google is a malicious actor as a result of their business model and has already demonstrated their willingness to breach the GDPR with the non-compliant tracking consent prompts they use on their services, so it isn't that far-fetched to believe they can also use data from other services in ways you don't expect, especially when they can have plausible deniability.

That's perfectly legit and if that works for you fine, but there are automatic ways to mitigate this. If you go into Settings -> Messages -> Keep Messages you can set the retention period for messages to 30 days and they'll automatically get cleaned up.

Of course there may be some histories you want to keep longer than that. Alternatively you can got into Settings -> General -> Storage _> Messages and delete just the large media files directly without affecting chat texts. None of which excuses the issues of course.
This looks very interesting. Are there any websites or services actually using this?

The problem with the solution chosen here is that this requires yet another app for authentication and yet another account for synchronisation of credentials. If this were to be built into browsers, it might replace traditional passwords in time.

How does SQRL work when it comes to apps? Does the Android app natively support other applications calling it to authenticate? What about authenticating devices that can't run the client application (smart TVs, for example), can they still access the accounts authenticated by SQRL?

Right now, SQRL seems to be competing with Webauthn, which has been built into browsers already, but does so through an external daemon running alongside the browser. I'm not optimistic about its chances here, to be honest.
It wasn't clear to me, but I might have just missed it. Is there a backup strategy beyond just duplicate data?

Have they lost data during rebuild?I know he briefly talked about that risk with different HD sizes.
