Or, perhaps, you are not in touch with how people evaluate and experience products, unless your intent is dry humour.

People love the Switch and loved games like BOTW , Mario Odyssey, etc. because they were the best products Nintendo had shipped in 20 years.

I hadn’t owned a Nintendo console since the SNES, thought the Wii was “meh”. They knocked this one out of the park - they managed to make a portable gaming device relevant in a world where everyone has a smartphone. Part of the challenge is that the completion largely do not build portable gaming devices.

Apple and Samsung also consistently rank very high in tech support and customer satisfaction indexes. Let’s look at the main alternatives in the smartphone space: Pixel, LG, Motorola, Xiaomi, Huawei. Are these paragons of quality? Or are you comparing against an imaginary standard of quality?
Edit: Ok, I was wrong. I thought Tauri was also being used as a platform for Rust development, not just Javascipt. Also, it's not buried..just not highlighted. First comment of the day did not get off to a good start.

What surprised me was that Tauri was buried and not mentioned as a viable Electron replacement. I think we will eventually get to the point where native OS UI is a Web UI, with the OS UI running on a special virtual interface for security. I have seen Web-based UIs that are every bit as nuanced, complex, and well-designed as native UIs. Two bits are not quite there yet though. First, performance of Web UI has improved amazingly, but until we do have native support integrated into the OS it's going to be a step behind. Second, as already mentioned, accessibility must be accounted for.
The reason why not every cynic can replace Steve Jobs is that Steve Jobs knew to force things only if they actually could be forced. It didn’t always work out but often enough.

Have a look at the chemical composition of crude oil:

Its already 83% carbon by weight, and already in the ground, and already liquid.

Its impossible to do any better than that! CO2 is only 27% carbon by weight.
Personally, I mostly just avoid using map/filter and use a list/generator/set/dict comprehension as required. I don't find map(foo, bar) much easier to read than [foo(thingamajig) for thingamajig in bar]
Having everyone home by 10pm would automatically curb a lot of anti-social and gang behaviour. Especially with a police blitz, scooping up anyone without a good excuse.

> There's a weird sense of internal entitlement where some (likely a small, but still substantial) number of people work there, are well paid, and yet act internally as if it's some terrible place doing terrible things (yet stay working there). Whatever way they rationalize this to themselves - it's odd.

So far in my career I've worked for a government contractor, doing basically good things that benefit the government and the public, a large service exclusively serving gambling companies some of whom were committing obvious crimes including automatically gender detecting players and rate limiting anyone with a woman's name (under the assumption that any women on their service are men who've been banned or rate limited themselves using their wive's credit cards), and a supermarket, and honestly, the hardest place to leave was the gambling company that I thought constantly about how I should leave.

It took suddenly being made redundant due to the pandemic for me to really try hard to find another job, I'd applied to plenty but I never really pushed myself properly, or took them seriously enough because stability at the cost of bitterness and feeling like the smallest cog in a meat grinder of human misery is a weird sort of comfortable, it's leaving a splinter in because pulling it out is scary, it's not ripping off a bandaid, a "childish" failure of character, but ultimately relatable and human.

And I _wasn't_ making 6 figures. I _didn't_ spend years of my life building up to getting into that position, it was just the first job out of university paying slightly more than the average, I can't imagine if I had got into Google and realised what these people must've realised about themselves and the system and how they are really no exits that aren't steps down unless you're entrepreneurial and willing to take a big risk, you think Facebook/Apple/Amazon/Netflix/Uber don't make some big moral compromises to sell and produce in China?

I'm not (trying to) justify their decisions, just rather painfully admit that I can relate.
1. Re-stating what half the comments on this thread are already saying would be a waste of my time.

> The human world has become so big that we have relinquished our knowledge

Sure, the average person probably knows/understands less of the sum of 'human knowledge' than the medieval man. But the average person has more knowledge, both learned and learnable, than ever before in human history.

Most people have never been particularly knowledgable or skilled. The average medieval peasant was no more able to make steel than the average person today.

Ideas and theories that were groundbreaking at their time, such as Newton's calculus, Shannons information theory, and Einstein's theory of relativity are now undergraduate (or even high school) courses. As part of my B.Sc in Computer Science, we studied public key cryptography (in particular RSA), which conceptually didn't exist until the 1970's. The average undergraduate probably knows more about cryptography than Alan Turing ever did.

In the 1800s, we didn't have biology, chemistry, and physics, we simply had "natural philosophy". The sum of our scientific knowledge was so meagre that there was no need for that distinction. Today, not only is physics distinct from biology, but quantum physics is distinct from geophysics. In medicine, don't just have doctors, we have neurologists, paediatricians, and radiologists.

> Trying to articulate the values of knowability, of understandability, of systems that we can be involved with is very very hard

The world today is more knowable than ever. When I was in primary school 20-something years ago, if I wanted to find information I had to go to the library and hope they had a book on the subject. These days, if I'm at the pub stuck in an argument about who scored the first try in the 1987 Rugby World Cup (Michael Jones), it takes about 10 seconds pull out my phone and find the answer. I think your concern is the opposite, that there's too much to know. It's so knowable that we spend at least 10 years at school just learning things.

Until recently, apart from (and due to) the lack of knowledge, it was incredibly hard to transfer and obtain information.

Before ~1455, when Johannes Gutenberg developed printing press, the reproduction of knowledge was incredibly labour intensive. It took more than a year for a monk to create a copy of the bible. Gutenberg's printing press shortened that to a week. Today, I can download a 40 megapixel copy of the Gutenberg bible (2 GB) in less than a minute. [1]

In 1820 only 14% of the worlds population was literate, it wasn't until the 1960's that more than 50% of the world could read. Even now, in Australia, 20% of Aboriginal people are illiterate, and up to 65% are functionally illiterate.

That said, we shouldn't rest on our laurels. We still need to continue to strive for our right to the freedom and access of information and knowledge.

TL;DR I think you have a romantic idea of the history of information and knowledge.

[1] For what it's worth, I'm not religious, but it's a good example of the history of information
I can totally relate to this and remember the first OCW. Also from India, I always feel that the web of that era pushed a lot with regards to making an open, knowledge sharing platform.

I remember walking into random rooms on Freenode from MIT (I think) and seeing well known people/professors in there. It was such an inspiration to keep learning.
That's a stupid comparison and you know it.

It still takes time and money to record videos or collect assignments and ensure legal compliance, privacy, accessibility, etc. which often utilizes student labor, where there's an opportunity cost. That is, students, professors, and everyone in-between could be frying bigger fish.

If a course is teaching computer architecture and switches from a hypothetical instruction set to RISC-V, the core of the instruction hasn't changed---memory layout, instruction ordering, digital system concepts.

(The nice thing, Silvina Hanono Wachman uploads a privately recorded version of each semester of the computer architecture class, so we get the classic Chris Terman instruction as well as the modern variant.)

With that in mind, some classes will have a higher relevance churn rate than others and should be updated more often. Other classes might have historically had an amazing instructor and no major development and thus need a really compelling reason to be replaced. (MIT's Introductory Physics comes to mind.)

> And it lacking many fp functions and a proper way to call them ergonomically makes a crazy list comprehension the goto tool, which often is much less explicit about what's going on than calling a function with a named and widely understood concept.

I've said roughly this before somewhere on HN but cannot find it right now: list comprehensions are like regexes. Below a certain point in complexity, they're a much cleaner and immediately-graspable way of expressing what's going on in a given piece of code. Past that point, they rapidly become far worse than the alternative.

For example, "{func(y): y for x, y in somedict.items() if filterfunc(x)}" is clearer than the equivalent loop-with-tempvars, and significantly clearer than "dict(map(lambda k: (func(somedict[k]), somedict[k]), filter(filterfunc, somedict.keys()))))". Even with some better mapping utilities (something like "mapkeys" or "filtervalues", or a mapping utility for dictionaries that inferred keys-vs-values based on the arity of map functions), I think the "more functional" version remains the least easily intelligible.

However, once you cross into nested or simultaneous comprehensions, you really need to stop, drop, and bust out some loops, named functions, and maybe a comment or two. So too with regex! Think about the regex "^prefix[.](\S+) [1-7]suffix$"; writing the equivalent stack of splits and conditionals would be more confusing and easier to screw up than using the regex; below a point of complexity it's a much clearer and better tool to slice up strings. Past a point regexes, too, break down (for me that point is roughly "the regex doesn't fit on a line" or "it has lookaround expressions", but others may have different standards here).

Long term moles at a company, able to climb high and perform well due to remote work which enables:

- never really meeting the mole

- the “mole” is a superstar because they have a team of corporate raider-employed 10x’ers evaluating and executing everything that this mole does at work. The mole’s code is written by 3x MIT grads hot swapping on the keyboard. The mole’s biz ideas come from a few HBS grads. And so on.

Productivity, business intuition, and engineering talent is off the charts for this mole. It rises far enough in the hierarchy such that it maneuvers the company towards favorable action for that corporate raider. Every idea the mole suggests, the corporate raider works in the background to enable via favorable market conditions. Whoever is the public face of the mole’a reputation might be in flames if found out, but what’s that vs netting 3% of a corporate buyout valuation.
Really? did not know that.

I found it in a dictionary as a "sera" translation. In Spain I doubt many people even knows the word. In my hometown it was "serón" (a big sera). Those words are quickly becoming relics. It was funny to see the thing, that was originally used with mules, adapted to motorbikes.
I recall calc 2 exam that I had... It was a rather hard exam and I left with a bit of a "meh" feeling to how well I did on it.

The professor handed back the exam the next lecture with the percent on it. I was looking at a 50% on my exam. This was a Tuesday Thursday class (rather than MWF) and so was an hour and a half long. I'm staring at my exam thinking "F, maybe a D, hope I got a C, I'd settle for a D, probably an F... hope I got a C" all through the lecture. Just before the bell rang, the professor wrote the curve on the chalkboard.

* 100 - 75 : A

* 50 - 75 : B

I don't remember any of the rest... I was stuck on "I got a B!" As I left, my TA congratulated me for getting a B.

Assuming that the new company will displace the old one.

However at a large monopoly like google/facebook/amazon, if you want to change the world, you need to first change the company.

The vague thing about "damaging my career" is a bit nebulous.

I was bought out, so most of my remuneration is in stocks. There is almost no incentive for me to "build out my career" year. So I have no issue with calling out obvious bullshit/stuff that goes against publicly stated principles.
Agree and I would like to echo you. I feel I owe so much to OCW , fundamentals and concepts helped me through early career here in India.
Your counterargument is flawed - nobody banned anything. These were the choices made by a private company to its own product line in order to better serve its customers and boost sales. Apple wasn't even the first company to choose this route. In 1984 when the Mac was released the most successful personal computer of the time was the Commodore 64 - which had no expansion slots, relying instead on a daisy-chained external serial bus for expansion. The computer makers of the time realized simplicity was the key to mass consumer adoption and thus increased sales. I wouldn't be surprised if Jobs pointed to the Commodore 64 when insisting expansion slots not be present in the Mac.
A bit pretentious to imply you're better than everyone else at writing regular expressions, so much so that you'd never write one that had exponential time/space complexity on large inputs.

Or do you just not understand what regex DoS vulnerabilities are?

Either way, you come across very foul and condescending in this comment.

Yeah but if there are any trees in the region where you plant - a tree would grow in that spot anyway if you just leave it be :)

BTW one of the weirdest examples of "patriarchy" is the preference of city planners to plant only male trees (because they generate less "junk"). Which reduces the amount of new trees growing in and near cities significantly.

This isn't an example of a blockchain asset being seized by a court order, no matter how hard you try to twist it.

You said that a "court can always compel a person to give out their keys under the threat of force". All you have to do, in order to prove your point, is find half a dozen instances in the entire world of a courts that have compelled a person to give out their keys. Then we'll know that you're right, and that blockchain security is a sham.

Until then, and given the complete lack of evidence that this is happening on a regular basis, we have to assume that blockchain assets can't be seized, under normal circumstances, by courts, with the same ease and effectiveness that other assets can be seized with.

Facebook's mission is conservative: keep market share.

It's dangerous to change anything because it risks driving people away.

For that reason, social platforms inevitably "rot" and get overtaken by competitors.

Consider MySpace, which really looked like crap because people could personalize pages the way they liked. Facebook had more general appeal because it looked "cleaner". Had MySpace tried to clean up it would have driven away existing users who had a strong attachment to the way their pages were personalized.

Zuckerberg understands this cycle and wants more than anything else to keep ahead of it. Copying competitors, buying competitors and such is the safe path forward for him. Two big advantages Facebook has are: (1) a large existing user base and (2) a developer productivity-first culture that can "move fast" (contrasted to Google, Amazon and you)

(The only thing that gets broken is competitor's heads)
