Google killing products is what lost me as a fanboy. I even enjoyed their data collection.

But getting rid of Google Play and changing their photos policy was the last straw. Now I'm Gmail and some search only.

Even got me an Android with a custom ROM and chrome compiled without Google..
In Poland I can use my bank login (a “Trusted Profile”) to sign in to government websites and access my data.

E.g. when I registered for Covid vaccine I logged in using my bank login.

There are other ways to do it too but since I already had an account in a participating bank I didn’t bother looking into them.

I don’t know if banks earn anything from it. I’d be surprised if they did.
Right but -- the attack vector is different. Scan/parse 10000s of JPG, and all that jazz -- to get identites. Not Trivial. Or if the hotel stored the copy as a physical photo copy -- you're not bulk scanning 10k pieces of parchment at super speed for your identity-theft ring.

But download JSON blobs? From 10k records the hotel didn't store properly (cause they are not IT experts, or don't have experts at close hand) -- if you get in to their system the JSON is loads easier to parse than the JPEG.

Methods for KYC could(should!) be improved.

Fair point - these dichotomies are often false or manufactured.

However I believe that, to a much greater extent than citizen support for particular political issues, media bias tends to polarize along party-line dimensions because of overlapping power structures.
You could make main() a standard C function that merely calls this machine code hack function.
Both the comments on GitHub, and this thread are an absolutely awful look for open source, and it's feedback like this that drives excellent creators to stop creating open source projects, leaving the entire FOSS ecosystem left with half-assed solutions or hand-off maintainers who can do nothing more than nominal bugfixes once an original author leaves because of harassment.

You're entitled to nothing when authors write FOSS. They provide it as-is. Take it or leave it. No one is obligated to take support harassment.

The arguments left on GitHub are "well you chose this license" and generally, sure that's done out of good faith, but when organizations test the boundaries of an author's intent, they have no option but to relicense or dual-license.

And you know what, this isn't even unique! Tons of FOSS projects do not support alternative distributions. In fact, implicitly, virtually no one does. Most authors publish software with the expectation you'll use their distribution channels.
That's not what they meant, actually
why use OS-provided functionality when you can write you own? :P
The blog post you mentions brings two arguments: first the database would require looking. Second the database would need tradeoffs between reading (polling) and writing (adding and removing to the queue).

The original article handles the first argument: Postgres doesn't need polling. Instead it provides a notify mechanism, that informs the application when the table changed (something was added or removed from the queue) via the SQL NOTIFY statement.

For the second point it also provides a solution: since optimization for reading is not needed anymore with the NOTIFY statement, the trade-off like different: we now need an efficient way to write. For this the article provides an efficient update statement with special lock behavior. This helps to make writes efficient, too.

It looks like both points from the blog post you linked are handled in the original article.
fzf is another that is just absurdly powerful. fzf comes in handy in so many useful little scripts for me.
I agree with you in a lot of ways, although my problem with the center is:

When Democrats want to blow out the budget by spending $10 trillion and then centrist Republicans say, "Okay, we'll do $5 trillion", there's nowhere to go besides further to the right.

is to give either of those groups as little power as possible

The only two groups that even talk about decreasing the power of all the extremists are Libertarians and Conservatives. Those people have no voice in the center. The very lack of their agreeing to keep increasing the power of government labels them as "extremists".

Although mortgages have some big advantages:

1. Interest rate can be fixed for 30 years.

2. Interest is tax-deductible.

3. No margin call. If the price drops, you can wait until it recovers.

There’s really nothing similar available to the average person for other investments.
Technically, one could make arguments based on genetics for the "middle" position. Something like: allowing abortion following rape puts a damper on the spread of genes that tend to lead towards rape.

That's probably not a good argument. I'm just playing devil's advocate for why that position isn't necessarily self-contradictory.
It's not the default because I personally find it pretty unintuitive, and while I don't have any numbers, I think most others do too. When I'm comparing ripgrep with other tools that enable smart case (like -i, but is disabled if there are any literal capital characters in your pattern) by default, I still get tripped by it because I forget about it.

On Unix, you can just do `alias rg="rg -S"`, and you get smart-case by default. :-) Or if you truly always want case insensitive by default, then `alias rg="rg -i"`.

"make ripgrep similar to grep" is certainly one goal, but there are other goals that compete with that and whether or not ripgrep matches grep's behavior with respect to case sensitivity is only one small piece of that.

It was proposed to enable --smart-case by default: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/178

I would beg to differ. Anecdotally I have overheard a lot of people expressing frustration that there are only two real choices in political debates. There are a lot of "nonpartisans" out there but they are suppressed by ignorant and xenophobic politicos on both sides

> No one is stopping another company from disrupting Chrome and making their own vision of the web by building a better browser.

It's is almost impossible for anyone to create a new browser. Even for a corporation with near-unlimited resources it would be a daunting task. Hell, Microsoft gave up, and they are definitely not short on resources.

At the time of this writing Chrome ships 7600 web apis [1]. Firefox and Safari ship 6500 and 6300 respectively. Chrome will happily ram its own internal APIs through standards committees with nothing but a lip-service to the other implementors because this only assures Chrome's dominance. This also assures that no other browser will ever appear.

> Many new web technologies like PWAs originated with Chrome. Apple, on their own, would never have pushed for PWAs and even now, their support for them are lackluster.

Ah yes. The bad-bad Apple. How can Apple not be bad when we have the great saviour of the web, the Saint Disruptor Chrome.

Meanwhile, both Apple and Mozilla are increasingly on the same side with regards to the non-standards that Chrome rams through: they are vocally opposed.

A very-very non-exhaustive list: https://webapicontroversy.com These "disruptions" are so badly specified (read: are so Chrome-only) that sometimes the devs from competing browsers can't even understand them: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459#is...

And yet, Chrome will have you believe that these standards are not only there, but that they are complete (so many of them are just drafts that have been cobbled together by some googlers), and that they are immediately available and can be used (they can only be used in Chrome).

I'm in regular calls from the East coast US to central Europe so, usually, a six hour difference. That feels about the limit to me before things get more difficult, people need to work outside of normal business hours, etc.

A lot of investor-relations style astroturfing began in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

We did some threat tracking for certain organizations as a result of the growing extreme rhetoric in some of these communities and with social media aggregation tools it became very clear that there are a lot of paid political shill accounts.

Facebook's toxic communities are far more grass-roots in comparison. They're also, at least in the cases of the files I was on, a lot more violent, and a lot more volatile. Surveiled Facebook groups looked a lot more like Parler than brigaded reddit subs.
It's worse than that. Not only will social security be more difficult to fund, but private retirement savings will also be more difficult. Saving for retirement is much easier with a fast-growing economy in which you can get high rates of return. With a slower-growing, or even flat, economy, stocks and other investments should appreciate more slowly, too. (There are fewer good investment opportunities when the size of the pie is fixed.)
Moving to an apartment with a gas stove and gas heat has probably saved me thousands of dollars in utility bills. Electric heat is so expensive and seems so wasteful, especially when my winter gas bill is like $18 a month (gets into the 40s-50s so not terribly cold, but used daily in winter).

I think this is important, not just tangential.
The traditional cv is still something most companies will check, one way or another. At the very least, they will use a tool to check for keywords, same thing on job platforms.
I personally never update my LinkedIn with the current role, I always think if my employer checks, they would think I am shopping around, so I leave that.
But on job platforms, I have the most current CV.
LinkedIn never gave me good results anyway, only currently held roles.

But Glassdoor is pretty ok and some other platforms(I can pm if you like) have proven good, they seem to have some kind of alert system whenever a keyword of a recruiter portfolio is triggered and on cv updates.
I do think limiting oneself to LinkedIn will definitely make you miss on some opportunities. I spend no more than an hour a month to update etc.

There are a lot of people in tech making a lot of money. Particularly at FANG/startups that have exited, they can "FIRE" after less than 10 years of working. I know many people in this category.

During the pandemic many people also made some changes to their lives (bought a house, moved out the city, moonlight second job, started consulting remotely, etc.).

Then you throw in the crazy rise in the markets (stocks, crypto, real estate) that many people have benefited from.

Coupled with the popularity of FIRE mentality, rise of remote work, etc, it doesn't surprise me there are big changes coming.

No. When you rent, you usually are paying (1) the owner's mortgage, (2) taxes, (3) maintenance and (4) profit. So renting the same place is almost always much more expensive than the mortgage payment.

Rents do not have to rise. They have been rising in most cities because people are moving to cities. Rents dropped in Detroit when a lot of people left. (Rents also rise with inflation.)

I do wonder about the data. It compares the median rental to the median house purchase. And people usually rent smaller places. So, renting is usually cheaper because of that. I don't know that it is an apples-to-apples comparison.
None? Google has ~3 well-managed products that everyone loves and uses, such that nobody even bothers to try to compete with them. These products are the exceptions. They may as well not be Google products, because they aren't representative of Google's product-management philosophy at all. You can't set up a new team at Google and talk to them about doing things "the Google way" and have them to understand that to mean "like Gmail does."

Google has 1000+ badly-managed products. Google's actual product-management philosophy, is reflected in how these products are created, managed (into the ground), stagnated, and usually eventually killed. My post was about those.

It's very easy to beat the complete lack of product-management in your average FOSS project, by just having one full-time product manager with vision for where the product should go. See, for example, what this guy (https://www.youtube.com/c/Tantacrul) has to say about various pieces of FOSS DAW software, where all the flaws usually come down to a pure lack of product management on the FOSS projects' part. The problems he points out could all easily be fixed by having one person with vision submit bug-reports about workflow issues, and having those bug-reports get taken seriously by the engineers. (And he's now doing exactly that, as PM, for Audacity.)

Google should easily be able to hire guys like him, and put them on projects like the ones I listed in my sibling comment. But they just... don't... seem to have it in them.
That's why I say perception. Cost savings could be up to x4 but this makes no difference as if you can't do something, you can't do it with more people. If you got 100 people to write doom on the original hardware and Carmack wasn't one of them you wouldn't get it. Business software is generally a lot easier but even so, still issues...
Thanks for your input! You have committed a subvariety of the classic tu quoque logical fallacy also sometimes colloquially known as "whataboutism". It is irrelevant to the topic at hand. Would you care to try again, and address the argument rather than deflecting?
Not sure if this is a serious statement.

More people most of all means more people who can and necessarily will break things, which are very hard to repair. Like climate stuff. The chance of having some super geniuses, that we would otherwise have missed out on, who then repair a broken climate is ... vanishingly small.
This is really great! Thank you!
Social security tax phaseout is currently ~$140k per year. It's fairly absurd that the Elon Musks and Jeff Bezos of the world pay roughly the same amount into Social Security as an average programmer.
Yeah I totally understand where you are coming from. But to be fair, there is a little uncertainty everywhere today wouldn't you say? Who is to say that the stock market / housing / bond market is the only "allowed investments"? The government of Thailand I guess! But isn't there a bit of a conflicted interest? If you ban everything except for stocks, guess what happens to stocks? They go up cause a bunch of people are now forced to switch over. I am actually all for what they have done, but it still looks a bit like kicking it while its down. DOGE ain't so hot today and this isn't the reason.
There is a stark, obvious and undeniable difference between "other people" and narrowly defined groups of people, such as Jews, gay people, black people, immigrants or women. Many people view targeted restrictions on specific groups of people as some of our most atrocious and indefensible errors throughout history. I am one of those people.

> The idea that having made my mind is a horrible thing, is just a tactic to try to creates wedges of doubt to try to keep a zombie political idea going.

You're an extreme minority in how in-depth you've looked into the science. The only really rational position for someone who hasn't done so is at most vague trust based on the scientific consensus. People who both haven't sufficiently looked into the science and yet who still have a strongly held belief are part of the problem even when they happen to be right.

Then the political implications are a different matter to the scientific question. There is a whole range of political positions you can come to even given a consensus on the science. Do you drastically reduce carbon usage or accept the warming and adapt? Maybe both? That is where the political x/y/z axes come in.
Image people born almost 300 years ago were still in power. Social change would likely be a lot slower. The society happy with slavery could still be the dominant property holders. Death, since it allows for more rapid adaptation, may be life's greatest invention. Too little of it could be crippling to a population.

Our species-optimal lifespan now might be quite different than the one picked by evolution. It could be much greater, or it could be lower. But twiddling with that dial carries a lot of risk.
You mean by, er, encrypting and/or obfuscating the origin of everything?

Although in general actually I think you’re right. Free world security services should be working to secure our communications and protect us from identity theft. Hopefully the rise of ransomware as a systemic economic threat will wake them up to the fact their primary job is actually to protect us.

One of the roles of the SEC is to protect against piramid schemes and crypto has a lot of similarities with it.

Ps. Crypto is not "new", it's more than a decade old.
> But I'm totally unsurprised to see this downvoted here only 18 minutes in.

I am unsurprised as well. Aside from any other concerns about the comment, its relevance, or the study and its methodology, the upthread post, like the popular right-leaning media articles on the study, lies about the results:

Upthread post: “What he found was that conservatives had no trouble answering the way liberals do. However, liberals could not do likewise.”

Actual article abstract: “Both liberals and conservatives exaggerated the ideological extremity of moral concerns for the ingroup as well as the outgroup. Liberals were least accurate about both groups.”

(It also misleads about provenance, saying “Jonathan Haidt [...] did a study”, when Haidt was third author.)

The actual results (especially liberals being less right about typical liberal positions on the axes questioned about as well as less accurate about conservative positions) are what you’d expect if the axes chosen were ones that simply tended to be more salient for conservatives.
I think he means Tokyo Drift.
