Typically the encouraged participation of Twitch and YouTube is a mechanism to strengthen para-social relationships people make with "content creators" which I don't think is a good thing, if more and more people aren't making friends and building communities around them in favour of their "friends" and "communities" online then they're going to continue being at the mercy of the established order (whether that be Governments or Corporations) as there's no real unity in an online collective and there's no meaningful action a disparate group of people can do to effect change in a single place.

On your publishing point it seems to me we're just abandoning quality control and rigour under the guise of begrudging gatekeeping (sometimes the gate does need to guarded) and whilst I agree that the subjectivity of art means more people being able to make and share music is probably a good thing (you can't definitively say there's "bad music") the same can't be said for information.

Perhaps I'm too cynical but a large aspect of the past 20 years in software proliferation I don't like is the idea that we should just build things consequences be damned (Mark Zuckerburg especially has this belief) as we're never then taking the time to properly reflect on if there's a way to prevent harm up front or if the harm produced can't be mitigated maybe we shouldn't build these things in the first place. A rhetorical but interesting question is how many relationships do we think were ruined by Facebook? How much dysmorphia and self-loathing caused by Instagram?* How much hate spread by YouTube and Twitter?

*(These two I find particularly interesting as we weren't even part way through uncovering the ill effects of unrealistic beauty standards set by Hollywood and the advertising industry over the last 50 years before along came these websites/apps whose solution was to allow you to airbrush and manipulate your own life and set your own unrealistic standards. There's now a generation and more to come who have just grown up with this being the way the world is).
If you don't increase the density, it's solvable (most of the times) without looking at the colors. With a higher density, I expect more complicated local problems where the colors are useful.
I am going to bang on about this again, but imo software is a new form of literacy. Literacy of employees and customers transform(s/ed) all industries but we don't talk about the literacy department or literacy investments in corporations.

(It's what annoys me about low-code solutions - it's like trying to write your novel by linking pre-drawn cartoon squares together in innovative ways.)

You cannot compensate for lack of literacy in a company or society. Same for software.

In short some companies and some societies will be software literate and have time to focus on the next problems as ben talks about here - while others are stuck in the transition period. But they must go through the transition period - having good answers to "publisher questions" won't help if you don't have good answers to API questions

This a is a really wide field. Basically its starts with one of the standard algorithms, like and l-system, a voronoi diagram, or simple combination of sin and cos to draw shapes. Have a look at thi-ng[1], just as example for a library that has implemented a lot of this kind of algorithms. The next step in my process is to think about how to destroy this forms as most of them are used a lot in this field and become boring. Using perlin noise as input to arguments of the algorithms is one way to do this. The other part is to make most all of the input variables easily changeable as most of the time the whole process is like writing the program and then spend a lot of time adapt the parameters until you get some interesting output. So in the end I have a small Svelte app, using Svelte only cause the data binding for the inputs so simple, which has tons of sliders that renders an SVG that can be saved in the end.

> can it block certain elements with certain IDs?

If you mean hiding an element, yes it's possible: you can either inject CSS into the page or write a filter to remove the HTML entirely. For example, adblock2privoxy generates both Privoxy rules to block requests and stylesheets to hide elements (you need a local webserver for this, though).

> And do I have to disable DoH to make it work?

It's Privoxy, not the browser, that will do the DNS queries. So, no: it will work regardless of DoH.
IIRC there were some late WW1, or early interwar period, liquid cooled planes that did use skin coolers. As engines got bigger, they became impractically large (covering a significant fraction of the fuselage), complicated with lots of pipes all over the place, and heavy. Don't see why the tradeoff would be that different for an intercooler vs. the main engine cooler.

Is this an implementation|abstraction from our societies?
Haha yes they certainly do. One great thing they have is unlimited bandwidth (though I'm sure they throttle after some point), whereas the free tier on Google starts charging you after you reach the 5GB egress mark iirc.
Your question is unpopular because everyone here likes the web and want to see it thrive as a platform. So do I, but still, I agree with you. Unfortunately, the web is not a viable platform for games. It had its moment for casual games some years ago, but mobile devices have taken that over. Thats why all the web game portals (the bargain bin bottom of the games space) are languishing, even Facebook Games, with its captive audience, is slowly dwindling away.

To put the actual game editor on the web makes even less sense. It's a cool technical feat, and the author may have thought of it as 'free', as some commenters have alluded to, given that there is already a web export, but anyone with a bit of experience knows that nothing is free, and certainly not a project like this. At the very least it's a months long effort (the author himself stated as much in the blog post), even before factoring in continued maintenance.

I love it as a technical feat, but I'll agree it doesn't make sense from a 'business' perspective (for lack of a better term, given it's an open source project).
Being in a relationship. I can't imagine spending the last year without being with my partner.

This is why I think SpaceX and Starlink are bigger businesses than Tesla. I already have an electric car, and it’s made by Hyundai, and they’ve been better at making cars since Elon was is diapers. Tesla is a catalyst, not the final state of the system.

Those who can charge a toll on the network, though, are in a more interesting position. It’s not clear that anyone other than SpaceX is going to be able to build rockets cheap enough to maintain an Internet constellation any time soon. It’s certainly likely that others will try, but it’s possible that SpaceX will have the final word on cheap space flight, at least for a generation.

To the point of the article, the real beneficiaries will be those who understand the consequences of humanity now having the option to spread out at low density, and due to autonomous driving and global connectivity, not seeing a drop in the quality of physical and intellectual life.
Get these authors the Nobel Prize!
Tether is as legitimate as any non-US, non-regulated, company unable to do business with reputable banks or auditors could be. The NY AG case went a good way to legitimize them.
One would assume that SpaceX engineers would be smarter than the average person, but based on the details of this story he doesn’t sound very bright at all.

Software development is a skilled craft, and will remain so.
> What we call a turbocharger today has two turbines in it - one that is spun by the exhaust gasses and a second one that compresses the incoming air. These two turbines are directly connected.

That's incorrect, a turbocharger has one turbine, and its driving counterpart is the impeller. That impeller/compressor is never referred to as a turbine. Turbines can only ever extract work from a fluid.

Superchargers as well as turbochargers also don't have pumps, those are machines for which the working medium is incompressible (water, ...; density is not a function of pressure, in "engineering precision"). If it is compressible, it's a compressor: it affects not only an increase in pressure but also in density.

A fan also works on compressible media but is only supposed to impose some velocity. For this, it necessarily also increases the medium's pressure, but to a low degree, such that (IIRC) changes in density are negligible.

I disagree that music and publishing have become more centralised.

I have seen the death of the book publishing industry first hand - from the outside it might appear relatively unscathed, from the inside it has been hollowed out and is untenable. Publishers are clinging on but increasingly irrelevant and their margins are non-existent, which pushes their quality down, which undermines their business model further. They will survive another generation though on nostalgia and with steadily declining sales. They simply don’t have a viable business model any more.

Sure we’re not living in the utopian future some imagined but that does not mean the transformation was not profound and ongoing.

The transformation is far from over in those that were vulnerable to the internet and many industries have only just started being consumed.

Friends. The initial ~2 months of fear and complete isolation, (seeing only my partner in person) showed me how much I needed other relationships. When I started participating in small gatherings or visiting the office it was absolutely liberating. And because of the pandemic it was quality over quantity, so I became closer to the people I already knew.

I used to be an introvert for most of my life and in the last few years I've been taking it back, learning to manage this part of life. It's common that people have less friends as they get older. At 28 I already feel it and I don't want to let it happen, ready to put in the effort. It's all so much more interesting when you're surrounded by [the right] people.

It sounds crackpot, but in the merger of ML enhanced medicine and bio-generics, we're gonna see attempts to push genetic manipulating cosmetic plastic surgeries into the mainstream - like tattoos, these medical enhancements will be sold like apps, and they will create novelty capabilities or novel appearance transformations for the customers. Some artist gets sparrow wings on their feet (like the Greek God Mercury) or an artist has a living hydra-snake-wig created that accompanies her with backup vocals, who the hell knows? with this tech, bizarre combinations are possible and will driven by pop culture excess curiosity. Not "if" but "when" a popular music artist embraces such technology, we'll see a whole generation of Transhumanists Entertainers flooding society.
Living in a neighborhood I like, within viewing distance of the mountains, walking distance to my favourite cafes, deli, gym, and hiking in those mountains with my gf and other friends. Nearing another whole year with zero work, and it's only financially shitty.

> I'm getting a bit tired of things that smell an awful lot like entrapment

In most countries "entrapment" requires that the suspect is unwilling, unlikely or under no suspicion of committing a crime. The guy they caught was actively looking for buyers and had been selling information on a purpose build board before he was kicked out of it for selling bad info.

Let your mind wander – a meditation recommended by Naval Ravikant
I started using INaturalist during our first lockdown. Amazing how it opens your eyes to things that you missed before. Like how some flower heads have tiny little luminous beetles during summer. Or that the random weeds I see on the side of the road are highly toxic or possibly have some obscure property. Just going for a walk is like mindfulness meditation where you learn things.

Getting COVID.

I've just turned 30 and I used to do a lot of cardio exercise. Over the past few years as other things have taken priority, I cut back. I'd try to do something every day but would often miss days and the workouts would be short and poor quality.

After getting (fortunately mild) COVID I was worried about cardiac issues when I resumed exercise. I decided to buy an Apple Watch to monitor my heart rate and use the ECG functionality.

A few months later, and the big thing I have learned about myself is how well I respond to "gamification" of habits. I now HAVE to close my exercise rings every day, and it's immensely gratifying to track my overall health improving - I did not realise how out of shape I really was. I'm sleeping better, a lot more productive, my mood has increased significantly, and overall I feel much better in myself.

It's also lead to me using other "habit forming" apps (I use "Streaks" - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/streaks/id963034692) to change things I don't like about myself and generally become a better person.

Overall, I've learned a lot about myself and how I'm motivated.

I think this misses a pretty important part of mathematics, which I find is nessecary to grokking fields like linear algebra, algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and many more.

What's missing is /why/ the definition is the way it is. What is it trying to encapsulate? A lot of mathematics is built up from simpler ideas being generalized until finally a purely algebraic definition is reached. The algebraic definition is completely void of context and any intuition, but it is very powerful to work with. The definition is in a sense the /result/, not the starting point!

For example, a beginning student of algebraic topology might start reading Hatcher's Algebraic Topology. Here simplicial homology is defined in terms of abstract functions d with certain properties. How did they arrive at this definition?

One answer is to start with complex analysis. Here you can notice that the complex plane and the plane without zero can be told apart by the function 1/z. This function also doesn't have an anti-derivative. Thus you begin to see how to define topology of the complex plane. Now extend this line of reasoning to the calculus of differential forms and you end up with the de Rahm Cohomology. Finally, you can realize that you can get the same results without having any interpretation of your functions. Thus begins the purely algebraic theory. The proofs may be different, but you can now /guess/ the theorems.

Of course in the above I omitted that differentials forms are defined in terms of a wedge product, which is also an abstract algebraic definition. This also has an explanation...

Modern mathematics is rife with explanations like the above, but they are often hidden away. It's very remniscient of the simple vs easy discussion of programming. The algebraic definition may be "easy" but it carries a lot of baggage.
The Marvellous Suspender on Chrome and Auto Tab Discard on Firefox will let you scale to that (there are other options too). I have something like 7-8000 tabs open counting all my browsers and devices. 1081 tabs is no big deal - I have single windows with more than that, and everything is snappy.
Simplistic response: Apple & Google (A&G) don't want people concerned with what's going on under the hood. It is difficult to explain. Also, imagine that you download something, you pay for it, then it asks a question you do not understand (rights 666 or 777? - what the hell? I don't want the devil on my phone!! NO to 666, Yes to 777)(maybe I will win in the casino). And assumming you 'Deny' and the app doesn't work. And you paid $10 for it. You uninstall, reinstall, and 'Allow'.

(Majority of) People barely understand the (privacy/security) impact of giving access to Location, Contacts, Calendar, Phone, SMS. Now think of the more obscure (?) layers of the following pyramid: Hardware, Middleware/Drivers, OS, Applications. (Majority of) People hardly understand Applications. You want to ask them if they can write on X folder? On the OS? Good luck!

Although both A&G can review your code and flag these upfront with some auto-policy-check, I feel that it would send many app creators reeling & pain. Pain for app creators = smaller revenue to A&G.

I assume it's the typical cat & mouse game. A&G may try to reduce/prevent access here but their SDKs will create a new oppotrunity/workaround to get access there. The new "there" access will be abused and someone will find away to do what they were doing in the previous setup. And thus we restart the chase.

It's in the way that people code. Naughty and/or lazy coders will go for the keys to the kingdom, ignoring the security. To avoid misunderstanding the word 'lazy' doesn't mean 'lazy people', but 'lazy/inapprpriate/corner-cutting practices'.

The last time I stumbled upon website that used vh for font sizes I was forced to enter into the developer tools and edit that out from CSS because: 1. it didn't work well with my vertical monitor setup, letters were ridiculously large; 2. I was not been able to compensate for that with standard page zoom because it's vh, it's roughly relative to the window size, and all that zoom changed is sizes of secondary page elements.

It's bad enough on desktops, now I feel it would be a nightmare on mobile even with desktop mode turned on...
No it doesn't require suspects to be those things "in most countries". The suspect has to do so by their own volition and not after prodding by a cop. If a cop asks if you want to buy some drugs and you say yes then the cop can be punished, not you, no matter if you might be suspected of wanting to buy drugs. This sneaky entrapment is a very American thing and won't be accepted by most courts. Just like US cops pretending to be prostitutes and then arresting the client. That's entrapment in "most countries".
Investors want to meet a slightly smarter but younger version of themselves. This makes them feel comfortable with the risk of their investment, they imagine all kinds of congruencies between you and them, even if they don't exist. They want to convey some nugget of wisdom that you, the entrepreneur, reverence as they key to their success. But most of all, they want you to be a money tree that buds and flowers and bears fruit continually, to the degree the generated revenues are a problem. Anything less, and they go silent for a while before applying pressures with rarely helpful advice from non-technology or old-technology backgrounds.

There are countless takes on this, but I'll add one more: Silicon Valley's failure is in being unable to diversify effectively from a failure in city-building.

For a good stretch, the bay area was the place to be. Lots of people wanted to be there, whether or not they were engineers. The cost of living made these ambitions completely unreasonable, except for the well compensated engineers.

Monoculturalism is a failure to diversify, and it stems from an inability to build an effective dense urban region. The bay area could have had human AND financial capital rivaling NYC, a megapolis perhaps in league with Tokyo, but this failed to materialize so instead the region will likely go the way of Detroit: rising and falling in step with the industry it's built around.
