I’d be willing to bet that no one is looking in the top X% of grossing apps for spam/scan. They probably (wrongly) assumed that most people wouldn’t spend money on a scam and most people wouldn’t be fooled, only a small set of people. In fact, I doubt their AI’s training data lacked anything like this.
Having come from the node ecosystem, I find deno pretty welcoming and familiar overall. I'm glad to see a design I think is better, over all - so long as development continues, it seems like it'll be worth the shift.

Serious question: at what point is it no longer rational to return land wrongfully taken? To displace millions of people and remove their right to self-govern? Practically every nation in existence came to be by taking land from someone at some point.

I agree that the "right of return" thing was BS. But it happened. I think the best course of action now is figure out how to move forward without wronging even more people.

The improvements and changes System76 have added to base Gnome are really great. I particularly like the many different keyboard driven ways to manipulate windows and even enforce tiling on top of Gnome, rather than having to run i3, bspwm, or some other dedicated tiling window manager.

How does Apple even solve this problem?

On one hand, they're already having trouble with legitimate developers getting apps on the store (or at least they used to). On the other hand, there are tons of low-quality and scam apps.

I agree with common sentiment here that people should be able to install apps from wherever they want. But a curated "App Store" for most people is a good idea. Otherwise your entire system's reputation becomes worse because people install low quality apps and possibly even malware, and it's hard to find good and legitimate apps.

Except that's still happening with the current App Store. And I honestly think Apple is trying to do better curation, but it's a hard problem because there are so many apps and you don't want to reject any legitimate ones.
It's hard to get it right, though that's not to shift blame away from those who spilled info about others because they couldn't figure out how to lock buckets and objects down.

One way is to scaffold in bucket policies that ensure data is always: encrypted at rest, encrypted in transit, and locked down so objects can't be public. People can override these if needed, but because these settings are the default most people don't know about them or know how to set them up.

At Stackery we always scaffold in S3 Buckets with these settings in place, while giving you the ability to check boxes to turn on website hosting or allow contents to be publicly available. That helps ensure people configure things right the first time and every time!
I first learned Python in the 2.6 days, and have been developing in it fairly regularly over the 15 or so years since.

I've never encountered this issue before.

The reason I've never encountered this issue, or even needed to know it was an issue is because I use good development tools. 1) Pycharm highlighted the or in orange, making it clear that it was being interpreted as a keyword, 2) I use a linter (as we all should) which explicitly highlights the lack of whitespace around the token as an issue (PEP 8: E225), and 3) I use a code formatter (which we all should) which, again, highlights this statement as requests that I fix it.

Python has a lot of flaws. This one is down near the bottom of ones that are even really worth talking about.

I got a little out of breath doing simple tasks like walking briskly or picking up my kids, and I had a pain in my back (actually lung) that gradually got worse over a few days.

Eventually the pain was severe enough that I went to the ER.

Looking back, the shortness of breath was a key indicator. It wasn't that I was struggling to breathe or anything, but I felt like I couldn't take a big deep breath easily and that's not normal.

The pain would also get worse at night when I tried to lie down to go to sleep. I thought I had pulled a muscle in my back at first, but it was quite painful.
When you have good Bluetooth hardware, modern Windows versions seem to be pretty good with Bluetooth. Playing back on Bluetooth speakers or having Bluetooth mice or game pads seems to work pretty well. The most frustrating part is the issue of switching between Headset Profile and A2DP with bluetooth headsets. That always seems like a nightmare and prone to lots of frustrations.

I've definitely experienced what a bad Bluetooth adapter on Windows is like though. Things just failing to pair for no apparent reason, things randomly disconnecting, the thing seeming to forget all previous pairings, etc. I think that's usually been due to poor drivers. Earlier versions of Windows didn't really have much Bluetooth support out of the box, most of the stuff seemed to be implemented by each hardware vendor at the time. Compatibility issues were so common. This has largely seemed to go away especially when using modern Intel WiFi/BT chips and modern Windows.

2x scaling in 4K is the Hi-DPI equivalent of 1080p: on 13 or 14 inch screens, elements on screen are really tiny. On this screen size, we have mainly 1280x800 (Apple) or 1366x720 (PC) resolutions, where the Hi-DPI or Retina equivalent (2x scaling) is 2K.

With GNOME, screen elements (texts, windows and widgets) are big (way bigger than macOS or Windows). In this case 1080p-like at 2x scaling should be OK with this screen size.

Okay, but Israel still has a right of return. Should that right not be granted to displaced Palestinians? Laws making it more difficult for people of Arab descent to get citizenship were passed in 2003.

I think the argument is that recognizing the algorithm part through the (usually thin) facade is very easy, once you know the (common) DS&A questions well. I.e. there is a lot of challenge in learning the algorithms, and little to no challenge in recognizing it through the problem. Examples where a person knows the underlying DS&A very well but is unable to recognize the nature of the problem would be a great counter argument.

Yes, indeed. That's enough to be useful, they don't need to be better at everything.

Algorithmic trust is not arbiter of trust any more than the thousands of electronic trust schemes, which get gamed at some point or another and where human intervention is necessary for course correction given a measure of authority.

Yes, and P2P/F2F systems allow more human input in networks. Individuals are free to decide with whom to interact or not. This is more humane than letting a blackbox ML model be the arbiter of truth, decide who is a fraudster and should have their account frozen (Paypal), decide who should be silenced (Twitter), ...

[obvious disclaimer of I am NOT advocating for child porn]

Why would spam, phishing, child porn be the 'universal' ones?

If you are making an argument that it should all be opt in...then it should all be opt in. Otherwise, this is the same drawing of a moral line that we all tend to do where we call ours obvious and others subjective. Maybe some people want the spam? Shouldn't the spammers have the ability to share it in case people want it?

My point isn't to argue for those things...its to say if we just accept that content moderation is subjective...we can't then label some things as subjective and some things as not, the framework should just be - laws of the state/country/equivalent structure. Those provide mechanisms (theoretically but more soundly) for feedback that corporations do not and frankly should not on the boundaries of acceptable and unacceptable content.

> This is one of those eternal debates

Myself I know I'm stuck here. I've been thinking in circles for a while. At the moment, I'm leaning towards rich type system and structured data, but I'm not sure if it can be made fully convenient for the shell.

Do you know if anyone attempted to summarize this debate and distill some conclusions, or reframe it in a way that would allow to make progress?

> I’m discovering more and more that CL’s REPL in SLIME is my preferred shell

In terms of command line or scripting? SLIME is awesome, particularly with its interactive Inspector :). And I wrote my fair share of "scripts" as CL functions. But I can't seem to get used to using the REPL as a shell; I feel something is missing. Most likely convenience functions (that I didn't bother to write for myself yet).

That whole paragraph you wrote applies to another Lisp system, though: Emacs. In recent years, I've been leaning on it more and more for day-to-day operations. For instance, I rarely use shell for file operations - I mostly stick to dired. I end up scripting common operations straight in Emacs Lisp, and bind them to ad-hoc UIs (using the Hydra package). And of course utilize well-known packages like Magit (for Git). This recent experience makes me think that we could pull more common shell interactions and turn them from 1D to 2D interface. And I keep dreaming about merging it with PowerShell, in a way that allows Emacs to ingest and manipulate .NET objects nicely, while at the same time exposing its internals to PowerShell.

> Also, the claim that you need n^2 encoder/decoders isn’t actually true: conventions around data formats can reduce it to O(n) in the number of conventions.

I think this assumes conversions are lossless, which isn't the case in UNIX piping. When you invoke "tools like cut, jq, grep, awk, and sed", it's almost always to filter out most of the text in the pipeline.

This is an excellent point, and exactly the reason why the UK decided to stop administering the AstraZeneca vaccine to people under 30. Not sure why you're being downvoted.

For people under 30, particularly women, the risk of blood clots from AZ is higher, while at the same time the risk from coronavirus infection is lower. When there are alternative vaccines available with no evidence of similar side effects, it makes sense to temporarily stop administering AZ/J&J to those groups to investigate if there are any risk factors we can use to predict and protect those who may be most vulnerable to side effects. (It has been suggested that young women on certain types of birth control are at highest risk of blood clots after AZ.)

That said, as some have pointed out, the risk of blood clots is still thought to be very low, even for women under 30, and anti-vax groups as well as the vaccine hesitant may see this news as a sign that it's not safe for anyone to take any vaccine. However, I don't think we as a society should actively try to conceal news or research about vaccine safety so that people don't worry. In my opinion, people have a right to know, and efforts to conceal concerning information often backfire, producing more public distrust.
