I feel like the two sides of this issue talk past one another constantly with this.

There’s a difference between censoring ideas you disagree with and modding purposefully malicious hate and disinformation campaigns. But whenever it comes up there’s no nuance allowed.

People seem to understand market failures and the role of regulators in weeding out malicious actors like scammers, thieves, misleading advertising, market manipulation, and insider trading. But there’s no room apparently to admit that the marketplace of ideas is subject to the same forces because not everyone is coming to the marketplace in good faith.

It’s easy to argue that there should be light touch regulation on such things and err on allowing speech that is “on the fence” when you’re not the one being harmed by it.

Just curious, but in your opinion, how does the composition API improve on React hooks?

I used Vue 2 for some projects a year or two ago, and recently have been comparing React hooks & Vue's composition API. Composition is definitely better than mixins, but as a new React user, hooks are feeling more intuitive right off the bat. With Vue 3, I feel like I have to decide for every component whether to stick with the options API or use the setup method, or end up with some awkward in-between.

I was always a big fan of Vue though; I'd appreciate any insight you can give on the Vue 3 additions.
As you point out, the issue is forcing people to some artificial collaboration. People don't dislike collaboration. They dislike the lack of autonomy. In my experience, Scrum teams have some of the worse collaboration. People are focused on their assigned task and don't have time to speak to others.

The issue here is not that a task is assigned to one person. The issue is that building software around the concept of fragmented tasks is an horrible way of managing work.

The author of this blog mention reading "The goal", which is a Taylorism/lean bible. That's the issue.
Zuck has FOMO syndrome, and little more. He's got the cash, he's willing to finance development, and will ultimately suffer first mover disadvantages. Anyone trying to unseat him will benefit the technology and its range. But that technology has a long way to go. I hope there is more competition soon, and non-entertainment based simply to increase the perceived range of applications. Until people see examples, they won't conceive of more integrated approaches to using AR/VR technologies.

This is inaccurate. More people, even low skilled ones are still a huge benefit to your society. They buy goods and services in the local economy increasing demand and work tax paying jobs. Immigrants children grow up to greatly out earn their parents pay way more in taxes than they their parents. The only immigrant group that could be considered a liability are older low skilled workers who have passed the age to have kids and live a couple of decades of working years. The reason certain countries don’t like immigration is because a conservative faction wants to keep society in place.

It's the normal people who think that Trump has failed. The world of savages can see this differently. Who else was able to attack the Capitol and survive two impeachments? Who else was able to f*ck the US political system so hard? How he has failed if he is enjoying the life after all that (while others are committing suicides)? He is a very decent chieftain for them.

As far as herbicides go, it's relatively safe and short-lived. It's nothing compared to DDT.
while i agree with the spirit of the title, i find the specific conclusions dubious and the arguments presented unconvincing.

if touch ui wasn't more convenient for _everybody_, it would remain a weird niche use case. so it's still building for the majority use case - it's just building the right thing, not a "faster horse", so to speak.

the problem ive seen with data-driven design is overfocus on specific metrics, and the resulting tunnel vision leading to building "faster horses".
Many flaws with the argument, here is one:

It is hard if not impossible to attribute an individual employee's performance to company growth. Many variables can impact company growth - so even if engineering does their job,product many not and vice versa.

Even if everyone does their job exceedingly well, a sub optimal strategy could kill the company. Or the market could shift. How do you account when company stops growing? If the spending will only go up, how will the company justify the increase in budget when there are bad times.
If you think the game was a disappointment, doesn't that imply you already gave them the money? It is not a service. If you bought it 5 years ago, you don't have to pay more to play it.
I started building this at one point. Basically there's an accompanying manifest.toml that specifies permissions for the packages with their checksums, and then it can traverse the dependency graph finding each manifest.toml.

It also generated a manifest.lock so if manifests changed you would know about it.

Then once it built up the sandbox it would execute the build. If no dependencies require networking, for example, it gets no networking, etc.

I stopped working on it because I didn't have time, and it obviously relied on everyone doing the work of writing a manifest.toml and using my tool, plus it only supported rust and crates.io

TBH it seems really easy to solve this problem, it's very well worn territory - Browser extensions have been doing the same thing for decades. Similarly, why can I upload a package with a near-0 string distance to another package? That'd help a massive amount against typosquatting.

No one wants to implement it who also implements package managers I guess.
Honestly? It has happened many times to me, and others. See: all the various code hosting sites. It's not worth the stress/getting worked up over it. People "steal" ideas from each other all the time, and people come to the same conclusion and ideas independently all the time too. I have more important stuff to worry about than "someone took my idea for a game and reimplemented it from scratch!"
What is especially ironic is that excel is not so straighforward to use in my experience. If you want to do something in excel that you don't know how to do, you are best off finding a search engine and looking for a 5 minute article that explains everything. Now, programming is seen as toohard for some reason, but if you were to look for how to do that exact same merge or join or barplot or whatever in, say, python or R, I bet it would be another 5 minute article no longer than the excel one. It begs the question, why use excel at all when the learning curve isn't any easier than learning a few functions in python or R? The answer in my opinion is only that its entrenched and familiar, and you have entire companies basing everything on their excel spreadsheets since 1995 because they were told then by advertisers that this is how business should be done on computers. And now we have generations of accountants and business majors going through undergrad and spending braincells and tuition dollars for coursework on the shitware that is excel, rather than learning something like R or python that they could use to create an infinite number of innovative or creative things beyond just parsing a spreadsheet.
Thanks for the support! We're currently focusing on building cool features for our customers that are geared towards digitizing certain nuances within their existing workflows.

HR type functionality, Employee management and financial management are operations that are currently well covered by many of the ERP solutions out there in the market. We don't immediately have any plans to build these features right away, however, we never say never ;)

If a lot of our customers would deem these feature sets necessary, we might devote our engineering efforts towards either building them ourselves or integrating with a major ERP solutions providers down the road
There's a bit of controversy over this, not with the idea or the evidence for it, but that the concepts and evidence are anything new. It's basically repackaging ideas that have been discussed and studied repeatedly in the cognitive and personality literatures. Maybe fine in terms of lay/popular translation but a good example of how academic credit can get distorted.
I guess a counterpoint to your story: I worked at eBay when the story broke. We were all aware of Ina's blog and followed it regularly. As you mentioned, she was a great voice for e-commerce, and one that the vast majority of us appreciated. So, when the story broke, every co-worker I messaged was horrified and outraged as well. The fact that it went up as high as it did was really disgusting (and honestly, embarrassing).
So Alan Kay was right about live coding, at least for the average person, but he was wrong about what kind of software.

I mean, I'd be fine with screwing homeowners too, and I am a homeowner. The Zillow estimate of how much I could charge in rent is several times over my mortgage and HOA payments. The estimate for how much I could sell for is $25k over what I paid, two years ago. You can't tell me my house is making $12.5k/year for literally nothing, while I live in it and repairs accumulate, and tell me that's a sensible way to run an economy.

You seem to be equating "free speech should not be abridged" with "we shouldn't fight disinformation", which is a strangely weak and fatalistic stance.

Will OpenSSL reject properly implemented features contributed by third parties, because you sell paid features on top of OpenSSL and said contributions happen to make your product redundant?

That's the difference. Mattermost won't ever accept contributions, that reimplement features from their paid product. If you want to use such features, you would have to fork, and forced to keep the fork public, since it is AGPL.

Unless they edited, that's exactly what your parent said, after you cut off the quote:

I don't think that it's good to just delete the packages. Same goes for Android Apps in the Google Play Store or for Chrome Extensions.

These compromised packages should have their page set to a read-only mode with downloads/installs disabled, with a big warning that they were compromised.

This is specially troublesome with Chrome Extensions and Android Apps, where it is not possible to get to know if I actually had the extension installed, and if I had, what it was exactly about.

Chrome Extensions getting automatically removed from the browser instead of permanently deactivated with a hint of why they can't be activated again, and which was the reason why the extension got disabled, is a problem for me. How do I know if I had a bad extension installed, if personal data has been leaked?

This also applies to PyPI to some degree.

----

Eventually the downloads should get replaced with a module which, when loaded, prints out a well defined warning message and calls sys.exit() with a return code which is defined as a "vulnerability exception" which a build system can then handle.
Both for different reasons!
These are fair points. I've addressed them in comments within the main thread.

We (me, at the moment) am making changes to the original post and the repositories themselves, to clarify intent here.

TLDR: there was a bit of a "the chicken and the egg" problem with cloud native Rust. My approach might not have resulted in the cleanest "launch", but with few volunteer hours and nothing similar in existence, I wanted to at least provide a sandbox or canvas for issue/discussion filers to help dictate where it goes next.

And if the employer and the employee's representative can't come to an agreement? Employee wants a million dollars, employer wants to pay minimum wage - what happens next?

In a normal situation if both sides can't come to an agreement both sides part ways. What does a negotiation where one side can't be fired (and hence the other side cannot walk away) look like?

with the usual caveat that it depends on your threat model, I'd say that having separate clusters is likely to provide better segregation.

I have a naive question: why would CIA interfere other countries? Why can't the US just leave other countries alone and mind our own business? I can imagine that some people and some entities would want to mess up with the world, but why would American people support such activities?
Except the US has a large labor shortage that predates covid in construction, agriculture, domestic work, scientists, engineers and more. If automation comes then great but the basic principals of more people in an economy means more demand for goods and services still applies.
But you can avoid having some information brought to light specifically because of their abuse from turning you into a DAU. If their userbase goes up as a result of this scandal it's the market responding in a manner that encourages further behavior of this sort.
Yes, similarly retiree savings isn’t limited to your economy. A country could have a continuous stream of goods imported that’s supported by past investments, which is more or less the goal of sovereign wealth funds.

However, it requires great long term management making the system overall less stable.
> I've met grown adults that think 12 PM is the middle of the night already. (They don't understand PM vs AM.)

That's because it doesn't make any sense to describe the middle of the day by '12 PM', since 'PM' should mean "after midday". To be sure we have conventions about this, but not knowing those arbitrary conventions is no reason to think that people don't understand the concept. I think better usage is 12 noon and 12 midnight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock#Confusion_at_noo... )—though that still requires further disambiguation at midnight (is "midnight on August 3" between August 2 and 3, or between August 3 and 4? I don't know whether there's a common disambiguation here, as with 12 n versus 12 m).
I'm a bit out of the loop on what has led up to this. I did a bit of searching and came up with a recent thread (within last 2 weeks) of an Activision employee (female) committing suicide after experiencing sexual harassment (involving nude photos being distributed) while on a business trip with the harassing supervisor?

I think special in the tech world, money is by far not the most important thing, because we all get enought money for a happy life. There are many other factors as well.
It seems so. An additional tidbit is that stagflation is generally considered to be a good indicator that the rate of profit may actually be falling.

Beyond that as far as I remember when reading the literature, there have been no empirical studies that found that the rate of profit was not falling, only inconclusive results or positive results.

I personally don't think it's settled yet, though. I think empirical evidence is not quite there for now.

I didn't say "the average person profits from this". And I also don't believe it. So if you'd like to call bullshit on that, you've replied to the wrong comment.
Some useful guidance here, although worth noting that some of it is a bit dated (k8s security can move quickly).

Most notably from a scan through, they're mentioning PodSecurityPolicy, but that's deprecated and scheduled to be removed in 1.25.

There will be an in-tree replacement but it won't work the same way. Out of tree open source options would be things like OPA, Kyverno, jsPolicy, k-rail or Kubewarden.
IMO it's because of the industry. I have worked in the Video Game industry and there are a mix of reasons why I see people sticking around through these types of issues:

1. They are a non-STEM role and this is one of the best jobs for them.

2. It is a video game company. The amount of STEM professionals that I know sticking around in low-growth, high-stress, overwork, and toxic environments is worth it to them because the industry is "fun".

I think a lot of time leaders/companies know they have employees hooked in these roles and don't focus on improving culture because of it.

In the US at least this principal is true for all kinds of innovation - food, humor, clothing style, music, religion, science fiction, etc., etc. The boring homogenized dominant culture blands things out seeking an anti-creative hegemony, while the marginalized people keep things moving forward. From the 60s there was a truism that in a given situation the less powerful see more of the overall reality than the more powerful. The less powerful have to see things in the dominant world view and in their own world view of how to stay safe and get their needs met in the skewed system; seeing more of reality leads naturally to having better solutions to various problems.

Yes, exactly. Fundamentally it's a way to attract attention. If the claim is getting less attention, you would expect it to die out.

I think the real changes needed are also politically unpopular with a bunch of old people and other politically powerful classes. Making children more viable for the young will probably mean making real estate not a good investment for one example, making house spouse / the homer simpson lifestyle more viable, thus reducing the labor force and increasing the cost of labor and so on.

For now, it's easier to kick the can down the road.

The virus is changing (variants) and we have to adapt to the changes. Your options are rolling with the punches or standing firm on a stance that is no longer based in reality. I can understand the pushback/concern to having to identify yourself constantly but potentially needing a booster isn't moving the goalposts, it's reacting to new information.
