Sometimes it comes down to a judge simply deciding "I'll know it when I see it."[1] I think the bigger problem is our judicial and legislative system doesn't have the periphery to fully grasp how vast and damaging of a problem dark patterns present.

What, Elite: Dangerous? VR would be the only reason for me to go back to it, and me playing it in VR at the time was one of the best VR experienced I've had.

Is that all because they can't make walking in space work in VR? I mean they could say "you need to play normally" when switching to space legs.
I never understood the need for modules and versioning in the first place. You can do censoring by forking your dependency's repo and keeping it the way you want it.
I’m not knowledgeable enough to define what good work looks like but, simply, whenever maintainers see good work, give that user a golden star.

People will work for the carrot, so give carrots for the work maintainers want to see.
But this isn't the argument. The argument is about all the false positives you get when you mass-screen everyone. All those people then need to be further examined, overwhelming the medical system and causing distress for the individuals (who are, remember, perfectly well).

I agree if we had a test that was 100% accurate (literally never gave a false result either way), only detected dangerous cancers, and cost $1 then that would be a game-changer, but the screening and tests so far are not that.

Interesting! But I don't think this is it. I searched for some reference to this behavior and found this:

...which seems to check out. Cars disappear from roads (but not parking lots) only when I turn on 3D mode ("Globe view"). In normal mode, I see all the cars on freeways around Marin. Plus there are boats showing... just not 100.
It says ships from China, so that's 8999 Yuan, not yen. Which means the $1500 is correct.
> The difference I don't get is: why is buying $1,667 of stock and paying $333 in tax different from buying $2,000 of stock that you will later realize 80% of? You spend the same total amount up front and get the same result later.

If $1,667 is a correct valuation for the stock -- meaning, the stock is valued by a liquid and well-functioning market -- then maybe there is no difference! From that perspective, there's no difference between writing a cash check for $333 and keeping the principal, vs. selling $333 of your principal and having a lower return in the long run. The long-term expected value is basically the same, you're just investing your money in a lottery ticket. But the lottery ticket is available to anyone else, and it's (in theory) fairly valued by the market.

But let's suppose that $1,667 isn't a fair value determined by a liquid and well-functioning market. Let's suppose you have strong reason to believe that this stock will be worth quite a bit of money, and moreover the market valuation is low because it's an asset that only you have access to purchase (e.g., because you're a founder with pre-IPO shares that can't be purchased for any price on any liquid market, and so the valuation is something absurdly, comically low that your lawyer scribbled on an Operating Agreement in order to minimize your taxes.) You're certainly not going to sell $333 of your massively undervalued assets to pay the taxes.

In that case the whole logic of the Roth IRA falls apart. The Roth IRA is supposed to be a savings vehicle for the middle class, where investors pay a tax on income received, then get a tax deduction on appreciation (i.e., one that is subsidized by the US tax payer.) But what is a "fair" way to calculate your income when it includes illiquid stocks? For certain assets, the "fair price" is literally whatever my lawyer says it is. So allowing highly illiquid (and not-well-priced) assets into this system seems like an invitation for abuse.

There is a separate question about whether the total Roth IRA tax benefit should be capped to something like $10m in your lifetime even when restricted to fairly valued liquid assets. After all: the US taxpayer is subsidizing this as a middle-class retirement program. But disallowing the inclusion of weird, illiquid assets might be a good idea as well.

no you're right, it takes an incredible amount of discipline to make pure LiveView code organized. I suspect Part of it is due to the "GenServers are dog's breakfast" problem that Dave Thomas complained about. I've settled on some patterns myself (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA4h0cajgaA), but I'm still not 100% on them. I wonder if frameworks like Surface ameliorate this problem.
One issue is that your body may have all types of tissues that might be precancerous or slow growing cancerous growths that the test will identify. To get to them and remove them would do far more damage than leaving them alone. Even with things like prostate cancer, which is fairly easy to get to. Leaving it alone, is often the right choice depending on the age of the patient and speed of growth of the cancer.
> We'll see if they can generate money for the next 10 years, I hope they can.

Even if they keep going to 10 years, they're doomed. To be relevant 10 years from now, SC is probably going to have to switch engines. That will probably mean starting from scratch on many game systems and assets.

There's a reason you don't see many (or any?) successful games that have a 10+ year development time.
Those things you mention aren’t really the chains you make them out to be. You can sell your house and move somewhere affordable. Poor people have kids all the time, a lot of times they are even smart! What you feel chained to is your ritzy lifestyle. Your wife and kids won’t resent you for not providing all that fancy shit, but they will resent you for working yourself until there’s nothing left for them.
Yes and lack of Autonomy causes you to have many negative experiences.

Particularly in software engineering you need to constantly make many decisions. But if you don't have autonomy you are constantly having to second guess your self. Not based on what you think is best but based on what you think the other person(s) above you will think. It is way of working that drains your energy.
Yeah, a lot of programmers I know as well want to do those things (which make no money) I guess because they are far easier to reason about. Brewing craft beer starts out as a shit show once you did a few batches, it is consistent, predictable etc. Unlike programming. You can screw up a lot and still get nice beer. Until you look at making money of course; that is where the craft brew and wood working shitshows are at. That's basically completely unpredictable unless you are established and have your regulars etc. I prefer pizza baking; I perfected this during covid and now can make and bake consistent good pizzas at high speed (in a 480C wood oven) and sell them consistently too. Somehow it makes me happy having that feeling of being able to sell them.

I mostly agree. I had a CT scan of 1/3 of my body for a specific issue, but as a consequence I got very high confidence that I was cancer-free in that portion of my body. It is such a good feeling that part of me wants to pay out-of-pocket to get the rest checked.

I think though that this test has massive value in earlier detection, cost, and remote lab work.

In general fixing spelling or logging errors are P4 or P5 at best so they should only be fixed if something more important is touching those files. That how I've always viewed it.
I've tried multiple careers in my early years due to this, and have decided it just is the nature of the world that works sucks and always will. You are selling your time for a paycheck, that's all it is and all it ever will be. Ultimately I think burnout stems from a terrible attitude re: work as salvation or meaning, and realizing no it's not and that is crushing.
One thing that no one can compete with is the amount of data available.
Interesting, the 13.3" version could be particularly useful for me.

Shame the company's attitude to the GPL (essentially ignoring it, and claiming "unfair anti-China sentiment" & closing off forums when people call them out on that) precludes me from considering any of their products currently.
Risky click, from what I've heard about 'Victorian Era'
RDR2 is, overall, a more enjoyable game because you can dip in and out of it; with Elite, No Man's Sky, etc you're pretty much expected to play it for a lot of time with little happening in the meanwhile (with more stuff happening in NMS in the same amount of time).

Writing good legislation is really easy. The issue is that the more power you concentrate in one decision making body (in this case, legislators) the more important the issues they deal with are.

That consumes bandwidth, and means that these sort 'they should step in and decide how people write software!' ideas are going to get corrupted by pressure groups who want to use the power to achieve their own ends.

If I have to vote for someone who is going to enact policy I actually want, and the trade off is they are shady on web implementation policy - I don't care about web policy that much. No-one does. The government can't possibly put out reliably good regulation on the range of topics that people want good regulation while that dynamic is in play.
Both are labeled as fraud.
> They didn't put a GUI on curl or something

I don't think a GUI for curl would be as easy as you imagine. Curl has a lot of power with all the options and protocols it supports.
Or go to jail, escape from jail, steal your equipment back, and assassinate a few guards on the way out.

Yeah, going to prison in video games can be quite fun and dynamic to the point where the scenario is replayable. Helps that there's a different jail in each major city in Skyrim as well.
These are all choices you make. I chose not to have children, own a house, etc because I didn't want to feel like I was buried by these things. Many people don't feel that way and the decision to take on those responsibilities makes sense.

The tech industry is a major driver for gentrification as a result of ludicrously high pay rates, especially after the pandemic when tech workers have started to move into cheaper areas as a result of the adoption of remote work. If dropping out of the industry is what you want, an adjustment of expectations is likely required and I'd argue tech workers have plenty of room to adapt there.
>But please fight these idiots with facts and not authoritarian censorship.

You can't reason someone out of something that they didn't reason themselves into. We've seen time and again that "fact checking" only makes things worse. The only option is to draw a line and remove the bad actors.
I wish Tim well, I don't know him but mental health is important and undervalued. That being said...

Maybe (definitely) I'm cynical but these two tweets turned me off:

"I started running google ads and I’ve had some good success in the short two weeks"

"I have detailed a car belonging to an Active Denver Bronco, and I’ve detailed a Mercedes, Volvo, and a Porsche."

Maybe I'm burned out?
The context is lack of consideration for people's time.

To use an analogy, imagine you wrote a proposal at work and asked for feedback from your boss. Instead of a single substantive response, they send back a few dozen individual emails, each one a comment on word choice, or font size, or a suggestion for a paragraph break. Even if each one of them might have some minor merit, it was done in the most time wasting way possible, maybe because their boss measures their work output by how many emails they send.

Huawei isn't the kernel boss, but they are essentially submitting feedback. Qu is saying that, for a company the size of Huawei, one that is massively reliant on Linux and has developers' time dedicated to it, he expects them to make their own submissions in a less time wasting fashion. He also suggests the proper way to do it.
Seriously, nobody would invest if that wasn’t 100% true.
For those interested in reading the actual paper, this appears to be it (open access too):

https://www.annalsofoncology.org/article/S0923-7534(21)02046...

I’ve only skimmed it, but seen quite a few limitations, notably those with “non-malignant conditions at enrolment” (it would be nice to know more what that means), previous cancer or recent corticosteroids use were excluded. Additionally, it’s a case controlled trial which don’t always translate to screening tools (as mentioned in their own discussion).

The problem with screening is that you are doing something on healthy patients, so particularly for rare cancers even a small risk of a false positive is significant. In this case it’s 99.5%. So if you test 1,000,000 people, 5000 (*correction from 500) people will come up positive. This is great for common diseases, but if it’s rare and only 1 in a million has it then you have got 5000 false positive for every 1 positive.

I think this will likely be a useful test (if it translates well to a wider screening population), but it’s not as good as it first seems.
In this situation, I'd fully expect them to deliver something early, and then sell another game in the next generation, or sell DLC, or something like that. It's more-or-less a proved revenue model; nobody's quite doing something exactly like Star Citizen, but there's plenty of games that are "the previous game's engine and possibly content, but more". It's popular to hate on sequelitis, but I actually often enjoy those games, because the developers are not struggling just to get the engine to do what it is they wanted or learn how to do the basics, and are now creating a game quickly and confidently based on experience.

I've lost track of the source, but i saw a TED talk that outlines 5 happiness indicators for work. You need at least 3 of them to be happy with your job:

1. Security

2. Good pay

3. Connected with others

4. Satisfaction in work

5. Autonomy

These helped me understand my burnout experience. By the time I left, all of the others had vanished except for the pay.
Looks to me like the problem is not the content of the patches, but the way they are submitted as many small patches all from the company. I suspect the maintainers wouldn't be as concerned if all of the contributes were independent (no "@huawei.com" address) or if they bundled the patches together to reduce overhead.
Then let natural selection run its course to favor reason.
I tried DDG for a couple of months on all my devices because privacy, but returned grudgingly to Google because of two issues:

1. I was using ‘!g’ a LOT to get better results, especially when searching for coding hints.

2. The ‘-‘ exclusion prefix is borked on DDG: it does exactly what I want on Google (exclude this term) but on DDG it merely reduces the importance of the term, often by a negligible value.

I really wanted my DDG experiment to pay off, but have had to trade some of my privacy for my own time. The savings in time and frustration minimization make Google worth my time, sadly.
The company I work for is about 50 people. About 80% of the employees have a company issue laptop that they have free reign over and the other 20% opt to use/bring their own laptop. I'm in the latter camp, because I do blur my personal and work life, and there's no way they can seize my laptop should anything undue happen.
Do you think there are some exceptions to this rule?

I have the impression that grocery retailer Costco is relatively good in terms of respecting their workers and customers, and I think that is one factor in their success. I'd be interested in learning about other companies that have priorities beyond maximizing this quarter's numbers, or learning why my impression of Costco is wrong.

Semi-related, not exactly a dark pattern put a job I bailed on early in my career for ethical reasons.

I was hired to build a rudimentary tool for detecting nudity in images, over large datasets, as fast as possible/reasonable, with a pretty generous margin of error. The agreed pay was extremely good for the performance the client wanted.

Not long after I started, after getting an advance payment, one of the clients called me and very tactfully broke the news to me that what they actually wanted was a tool that would detect women in bikinis, or showing lots of skin, and that they would be crawling social media and photo sharing sites, and their 'service' was a private premium forum that included a section where members could trade pictures of girls they knew, and they wanted to add a gallery of girls who post bikini pictures, with their real names and locations and links to their socials.

I re-payed the advance that day, and it very much shaped my approach to consulting.

What is the reasoning and how far is everyone really?
In my opinion, constraints (especially money & time) are critical for sustaining the creative spirit. If you aren't at least a little bit hungry or challenged, your brain is going produce some lazy uninspired trash that only happens to look fun on a 3 minute youtube trailer.

If you are constantly trying to push some notion of a gigantic, ever-expanding open world, then someone is still going to have to paint within those confines in order to build a meaningful experience. The bigger you make it the harder it is to do this.

If you find yourself in this position (tons of money & time), maybe double down on the idea that you might suck at building engaging creative experiences, but do have the ability to produce profoundly capable tooling & engine code. License the tech out to someone who has a more reasonable creative vision.
Anymore? It used to be worse.

I know you already mentioned it, but gRPC does support QUIC.

If it helps at all, the C++ surface wraps a C core [1], which supports QUIC via an opt-in Cronet dependency [2][3].

If you wanted to roll your own messaging framework, you'd probably want to build on top of at least Cronet, if not gRPC core.

Security turns out to be an abstract concept. That might still be useful but too many people keep swapping their own definitions in place of others and proceeding as if we're all talking about the same "security."

We commonly hear more about "security snake oil" than snake oils of performance (also slippery to define) or usability (another definitional minefield). Why? I think it's because security fits into the Bermuda Triangle of:

1. loose terminology (that we all argue about)

2. no obvious, casually noticeable effect

3. unknown but real risk

The same as UFOs, psychic phenomena, deities, etc.

And we have an industry built around maintaining that mystique.
> There are quite a lot of open source programs written in Go out there that currently say to install them with 'go get ...' in their READMEs and other resources.

My experience is that a fair number of these utilities are broken anyway, because they rely on "go get" to fetch dependencies, and the dependencies they use have changed too much.

(Yes, that shouldn't happen, but it does happen, and it's one of the major problems that go.mod fixes. You can shame library authors for making backwards-incompatible changes, but that won't fix your tools.)
