> All these wikis have the same layout and are just dull, devoid of emotion.

Probably he's talking about Wikia (or, by their new name, Fandom), which indeed is pretty much always the same layout as Wikipedia plus a literal shitload of ads.

What killed off the other sites? Mostly the fact that whenever emotions run high (and the more invested people are in a fandom, the worse it gets), you will have a bunch of scriptkiddies or actual capable hackers that will DDoS or hack your site off the Internet. I don't know many people who are willing to deal with this shit for a hobby project, so it is only logical that most of the creators have either left the fandom entirely or migrated their content off to some centralized platform.

Additionally, people on the consuming side were tired of content vanishing into nothingness when its creators died, lost interest or were unable to pay the hosting bills... which led them to seek out centralized platforms, as (as ugly and ad-ridden they may be) at least promised some form of reliability.
While your points are good your last paragraph projects a lot of weaknesses onto your readers. Do you believe you're the first person to come up with these points and realize them? Or perhaps that someone could have taken an opposite approach of yours -- moving from very religious to non-religious and can see the same behaviors? And then you continue to assume the only way forward is to perpetrate that behavior.

All while claiming other people don't have the cognitive tools you do. I'm amazed this comment didn't get downvoted.

Just brainstorming here:

What if social media algorithms were biased heavily towards local content?

I don't subscribe to any channels at all on YouTube, and yet when I watch a video the sidebar recommendations are often filled with only marginally related videos on US politics and other specially American content.

On Facebook, I don't follow any American news outlets, and again, my newsfeed gets a disproportionate amount of US news stories.

Despite not actively attempting to consume Americentric content (but not actively avoiding it), it's pushed in my face.

After the US election, my newsfeed was flooded with posts about it. Meanwhile, I saw practically zero posts about the election in Myanmar and subsequent events. I haven't seen anything at all about the election in Peru.

Arguably US politics has more of an effect on me than Peruvian politics. But so much of the "news" was inane tabloid stories covering events like Rudy Giuliani's hair dye running.

Sony's Entertainment Division probably had more to do with killing it than anything else. If the data drives were available with the music drives we probably would have seen some adoption given what was competing as external storage back then.

My problem is that protocols and software are not trees with their own imperatives for existence. They're just tools for people, and a useless tool gets neglected. Even a fun tool that's not as capable as others gets used less and less over time, once you get past a period of infatuation. And with a small user base, that trend turns into a death spiral.

I'm curious to see how long Gemini keeps an active community.
> [...] since network latency tends to dominate OLTP requests.

You are absolutely right about that. However, in this case we are talking about background workers. I would argue that background workers, such as an image resizing worker, are typically CPU-bound and do not perform high-volume OLTP queries. Therefore, a background worker does not require multiple database connections per thread as a web server would.

Apart from the fact that the "editor" section sounds like an infomercial for VSCode, why would you overload a beginner with all that virtual environment bloat?

The whole "open" source system is marching backwards towards inscrutable IDEs that do work by magic and leave the user clueless.
Dude it's a kernel. What other alternatives do you suggest? ATS and all sound nice for academic projects but it's an industry project (even if some research purpose is there) they have different tradeoffs.
When it comes to JS UI frameworks they're not great a lot of the time. Working with Ember and the stack trace only goes as far back as their event loop scheduling something, or Angular JS used to throw their own custom errors with the stack trace of the original error in the string message which is not clickable in the browser as the browser only sees the stack trace of the newly thrown error.

I think there is more to the original comment than this though. I'm interested to know how they measure diversity when reading a CV and how they judge a recruiter to be "phoning it in" or not. I know what the phrase means - I just don't understand the meaning in this context.
> Obviously not, and responses like this from its proponents are a main reason I'm not interested in it, despite quite a lot of ideological overlap. Saying that not all was as perfect in the past as it's sometimes presented is not asserting that all everything today is better.

Some people are optimising for different properties than the current web. They are developing new technologies to do that.

It is entirely hostile to say that their model is 'the imaginary "good old web"' or to imply that they present the past as perfect (as you do here - clearly in poor faith). They do neither. They are learning from the past and the present and trying to develop some other technologies and a new community that addresses some of their concerns. With great success!

It's strictly impossible for a person who advocates for Gemini to believe the past was perfect. A person who felt the past was perfect would be using the technologies of the past. The people who use Gemini want some things to be different, and find it productive to learn from the past and the present in building this new space. It is a new and fulfilling project. This entire thread is based around the premise that is sufficient as it is, even if a bazillion people aren't posting on it. No imaginary models need enter into it.

Twice now you've used standard but false tropes: Anyone who wants to learn from the past and the present instead of accepting the present as good enough has an imaginary view of the past and believes the past is perfect. Some times, a person runs "git checkout -- some/file" while fully acknowledging that the reason they started editing some/file was because it wasn't perfect when they started. Sometimes a person runs "git bisect" to see how they next version of the code can have the wins of the past and the wins of the present. Acknowledging value in the past is not presenting it as perfect, nor mere imagination.

If you don't like getting pushback for mischaracterising someone's opinions and projcets, feel free to not do that. If the main reason you're not interested in it is because people defend themselves against such unreasonable mischaracterisations, it's probably Gemini who's winning.
> If you are bitching about recruiters then you are not the CTO or development manager who is paying them and working with them and wants them to succeed.

This implies that you only care about the experience of the people who are paying you. Which might be honest but if it's true, it shouldn't be a surprise that so many candidates have negative experiences with recruiters.

New York is a wild place. Yesterday, I visited the city I used to live and work in for only the second time since my office closed in 2020 to visit some of my old friends. The city, itself, feels like an old friend. It's constantly changing, but always the same.

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, steeped in the lore of that city. Like most Chicagoans, I was aware that we were Second City, in reference to NYC, but felt no sense of deference to it.

Incollege, I fell in love with a girl who was obsessed with NYC. She loved it more than me, and it made me resent the city even more than I did already. What could possibly be so special about it?

Well, she dumped me, but somehow, I was the one who ended up building my life in NYC. I moved there for grad school, and once the city grabs you, it holds on tight.

When you move to NYC, you are forced to adapt to a completely different environment and way of life from every other place in America. You learn to endure countless indignations from a city that bends to no person's will. But your reward is the survivor's pride and the right to imbibe from one of the richest anthropological pools on the planet. It's literally intoxicating. For a time, my two siblings and I all lived in the same Brooklyn neighborhood. It was a golden age.

If you live in NYC long enough, you will have the experience of "vanishing New York", in which the places that hold your memories of the city inexorably close, and the friends you made shuffle off to other places. It's not your New York anymore. It's some new generation's place to come of age. They'll discover institutions that feel timeless, but are destined to be quite temporary.

New York is somehow never and always the same.
So many businesses don't do DR/BCP or security properly. 99% of businesses cannot survive losing data, so it's crazy to not have proven backups and automated infrastructure restoration.

It's like with cloud and microservices, most of the time backups, monitoring, and security aren't even considered.
You're using the internet wrong.

Yes, it's safe to say that, in all countries, people are more comfortable with animal testing than with human testing.

The quality of results from human testing is many orders of magnitude better; if you're willing to do it, there's no point in doing any animal testing.

> that reduced the richest nation to one of the poorest.

Very good point, BTW. You're not going to find a rigid social stratification system in a rich society. Stratification takes over as an outcome of societal collapse, as people are reduced to fighting over scraps of their former wealth and will cling to any form of seeming stability, however damaging in the long term. This is exactly what occurred in the West of late antiquity and the dark ages, culminating in the early middle ages.

There's certainly more that could be done to prevent bad or futile research on animals. But there are areas where there is no reasonable way to replace animal testing. How else would you test the safety of a new drug or other chemical? You can't do this in vitro, and going directly into humans is not an acceptable solution in my view.

I think this is a bad take. Poor people will be tested after animal testing so it is not that worst. There are many cases of this one example is [1]

Animal testing is unnecessary most of the time. Even when its necessary they are brutally tortured and after testing is over they are simply killed. But you know companies don't think animal deserves to live. We can use simulations etc but you know its hard to change culture.

Blame the gatekeepers and the users who made them, not the Web.

Only using FB or TW for content discovery is just the equivalent of starting a browsing session via Yahoo's catalogue — It's just that the ratio of lazy people using the Web has outgrown those who still take the effort of finding the nuggets. At the same time, it has become too easy to publish fluffy spur of the moment content and people craving for upvotes over meaningful discussion. I'm not against giving anyone a voice or leaving it only to the tech-savvy, but I can't say that zero-effort publishing has contributed to the perceived quality and original idea of the Web.

Do I miss the old Web? Yes, but only as much as I miss analogue photography. It's nice to get into that reminiscent mood while flicking through old screenshots made up of spacer gifs, but as I watch the world go by on four screens at a time while ordering groceries on the fifth and paying with my fingerprint, it's kinda nice to see how far we've come.
That's not true, we regularly judge people not doing things the 'right' way, but we just don't use the term 'un-British'. It's hard to explain, but there are code-phrases that some use like 'its not the done thing', or 'they're not our sort of people'.

Supporting football's not really 'British', and a fairly modern phenomenon. In the 80s it was deemed uncouth and heavily associated with hooliganism, but rehabilitated in the 90s, and is already falling out of fashion again.

Football support is heavily wrapped up in the complicated British classes, in the 90s/00s it was cool to pretend to be working class when you were middle class, and supporting football was a visible way of doing that.
I've had the goal to learn modern JS and D3 for a few years now. And I struggled with finding a good ressource as well.

Over the past year I've done it finally, and I can recommend the book "D3 for the impatient". It's written for D3 v4.x, but I wanted to write my project with D3 v6, obviously. Luckily, just going for it and googling the error message when I got the inevitable "foo is not a function" was easy enough. Now I'm confident enough with it that just reading the github readme of a new D3 module is usually enough to get me going.

But the API has quite a bit rough edges (like the difference between select and selectAll, the selection.merge(enter) pattern), that a good book is really nice. Especially since online tutorials are a complete mess - because of Observable non-sense and severe API rotting.
Putin: Russia open to hacker exchange with US
I loved my MiniDisk player, but the arbitrary roadblocks that Sony put up for how you were allowed to use the device and the poor quality of the management software were so infuriating that I vowed not to give Sony another cent for ten years. (I stuck to that promise too, even avoiding the temptation of the beautiful PRS-505 e-book reader. That turned out to be a good decision when the first Kindle came out shortly after.)
Then I think you should take the 'hint'!

I did misunderstand you at least partially, but my point stands: container queries are part of CSS and layout, and I think it’s very unlikely that they will yield any new approach for responsive image source specifications, because making it work would require shifting waaaaay too much stuff into presentational HTML. What the sizes attribute covers is bad enough in this regard, but it’s at least straightforward to implement in an isolated fashion.

> At this time last year we had massive deflation

No, we didn't.

> (e.g. airfare, hotels, house prices and oil went down in price).

Yes, some of those sectors experienced deflation; overall, price levels were flat, not in “massive deflation”.
> Minor issue that I usually see in how people talk about suicide: I don't like it when someone talks about suicide as something that must be prevented at all times, presupposing that it is never a valid decision. It is patronizing.

Right!? For example, I don’t want to be put in an old people’s home to rot when I am old. Sooner would I kill myself. And for someone to likely say then that I am confused because I am old and that it is not right to let me kill myself or to help me end my life: Fuck you, future people, I wrote this comment in 2021 when I was 30 years old and if I decide in the future that I don’t want to live anymore then you damn well better let me end my life and not try to “save me” against my will.
> So you’re like, “Oh great. We have backups, the data is there, but the application to actually do the restoration is encrypted.”

From my experience dealing with ransomware, most encrypted applications are not recoverable, even with the key. Those app servers need to be rebuilt or restored. File servers and individual files can be decrypted using the key, but applications get scrambled.
It's not the same thing.

What everyone misses are the personal, hobbyist, non-commercial websites. This was replaced by things like Facebook, Wikia, Pinterest, Twitter, Medium, which are both constrained and ad-ridden. A bit of that old web still live in places like Tumblr.

The "every site looking the same" thing is fine, however, and still preferred for commercial sites, government, newspapers, startups, other utilities. In fact most of those could still look more of the same, because visitors rarely care about the differentiation for marketing purposes. You could get away with removing all parallax effects from those sites and nobody would miss them. Same for advertisements: nobody cares for the forced variety of colourful banners in web advertisement.

I prefer having both. Perhaps there's some opt-in/opt-out flag that allows you to not make clickable links. But having a database with most common errors sorted by programming experience in that particular language might be quite useful.

I wouldn't be surprised if it would allow a programmer -- being a beginner in a new language -- quickly find his/her mistake most of the time.
It was the record companies and not Sony specifically. They had to play by the rules. You probably ended your relationship with Sony for plenty of reasons that came together in these changing times. Flat screens came along and you probably got out of gaming too. I have an uncle who once had everything Sony. But now, no. That TV is LG and his music setup is Apple.
> "Velocity" as it's called dropped in 2020, but once trading picks up again what happens to all those dollars?

They go back where they came from.

The Fed giveth, the Fed taketh away.

When deflation and unemployment are the concerns, you get the gas pedal pushed and easy money policies. When inflation is a concern instead, they hit the breal and you get tight money policies.
Because its easier to create an in group of sites which follow the same standard. Gemini sites will link to other gemini links only which you know will be minimal before clicking.

How many monks or nuns have you know? I grew up going to Catholic schools, and can assure you that monks, nun, and priests are real people who have real conversation. Maybe not the ones who choose to join the specific order the woman from the article joined, but in general, yes.

I can sympathize that your friend grew apart from you. I've had friends do the same. But that is life. It would be short-sighted to write off entire groups of people because of one person's experience.

That's only true if you consider the Bible as the only source of revelation, which is not the case for Catholics, where Tradition is equally important.
