> An open-source TikTok alternative that communities can sprout it would be awesome. And for that to happen, we need to talk about what makes TikTok good. Because creating a clone with all of the downsides is easy. Figuring out what made it the #1 app, I believe, is the most important part if you want TikTok to go away.

I mean, it's already been built. Platforms like Mastodon and Matrix already exist, allowing you to build your own infinite-scroller app, along with a community to fill it. Those platforms don't lack some "magic substance" that we're missing, they just have ~20 billion dollars less ad revenue, and aren't backed by an entire nation with high-profile interest in processing terabytes of global footage. TikTok is #1 because they paid to get there (and, of course, watermarked viciously)

Is that the answer you wanted? I suspect not, so I'll save the trouble of asking. The issue starts with using the app, which is your endorsement of it's functionality. Remember, the creators you watch don't see a dime of the money made from the platform: your usage is explicitly supporting Bytedance's exploitation. Do whatever you want to do, but I'd have a hard time advocating for neurodivergence and queer visibility while simultaneously supporting their oppression.

UK uses miles for distance, stones for weight, and I'm pretty certain that many things in the US are measured using metric.

The real question I have is ... who really cares? I certainly don't complain when someone uses a celsius temperature, I just convert it to terms I'm more comfortable with.
I don't think it's particularly ambiguous since anything other than Fahrenheit would imply that everyone is dead.
Actual frauds/impostors are sociopaths who don't care how they are perceived by others, and as such, wouldn't suffer from a syndrome where the person is at internal conflict in how they perceive themselves vs. how others perceive them.
+1 on Bitwarden. UX is perhaps not perfect. I've had some IOS sync issues but that seems to have gotten much better. Use it in Firefox every day and have no complaints.

I convinced my wife to pick it up and we now share a bunch of stuff and she loves it. And she's low tolerance for UX issues.
Microsoft, too, will pull projects, or just completely rewrite them and make them incompatible.

Applications using .NET Framework with WinForms are not just a dependency update and recompile away from being ported to .NET 6. WinForms got a whole new API and porting complex UI effectively boils down to a rewrite. At least if you can. Microsoft doesn't support third-party controls in the WinForms designer of Visual Studio for .NET 5+, so have fun trying out positions and compiling over and over.

HPIB and GPIB are the same thing (IEEE-488 standard), and USB-GPIB interfaces are indeed available. The catch is getting software to talk to the GPIB interface drivers. There are many programs that will send arbitrary data to a virtual serial port, but not as many that can use the GPIB drives. If you're writing the software yourself, it's easy in some languages, such as Python (PyVisa works fine), but in others it might be harder.

Also, I'm not sure if the drivers for the interfaces are available for anything but Windows.

> PS: my preferred solution to the problems created by cryptocurrencies is to treat them all like child pornography: totally illegal, possession a strict liability offense, choke off interoperability with real currencies at the credit agency/bank interchange level, and make them useless for non-criminals, at which point only criminals will bother with them. And India is going down this route.

If that's a joke, I fail to see how it's funny ... It's wild to see such rabid hyperbole, lumping all decentralised currency into a single basket with child pornography (!!) go completely unremarked on.

That list says that Nigeria and Hong Kong have "moderate" skills in English, their official language. Sounds a little weird to me.
>UK uses miles for distance,

meters are used too. On roads you have longer distance in miles, but width, weight and short distance in meters. Many rural areas in Wales have signs "120m to beach".
I think this is really a human-nature problem rather than an education or lack of training problem. I believe this to be the case because of all the cognitive biases that we are born with. I also think people's willingness to 'think critically' is dependent on the personality they have. Some people are naturally more curious and open minded than others and no amount of education will change that.

I don't think it is a hopeless cause, however, and it's good to teach critical thinking methods. But I look at this in a similar way to health education. We have been teaching people about good nutrition, healthy eating, and the benefits of an active lifestyle for years but most people don't apply the lessons. At some point more education on the same topics isn't going to help anymore because it's a different kind of problem than not having been taught.

Ugh. This mentality is fine when you want to ship an MVP but it's absolutely poisonous to the team and the project if you hold on to it. You need some slack for people to address the problems they think need solving without needing to justify why they're solving it. From a team perspective, it helps prevent burnout and encourages development, and from a project perspective it's essential to preventing management-driven tunnel vision by allowing the team to explore and prove out things that management doesn't understand yet. I've seen a lot of data-driven projects starve because of a fear of collecting new data, and it's totally invisible to management because they're hitting the KPIs they set for themselves.

Prioritize, yes, but don't starve lesser priorities. Let individuals decide, say, 10%-20% of their effort spend and don't question it. That figure, conveniently, corresponds to the Friday they're spending not productively working anyway.
dang, can you edit the title to maybe say "120°F/48.8°C" or some such?

Lest most of the comments continue to be by people demonstrating how smart they are to realize that the scale must be Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. (And I'm saying that as someone from Europe who grew up with Celsius.)
> UK uses miles for distance, stones for weight, and I'm pretty certain that many things in the US are measured using metric.

UK is the same bad example of choosing using units of measure as US is.

because you shouldnt? it is a world standard.
I think many people here will be supportive of the proposed "Open App Markets Act" [1]. I found the bill to be fairly comprehensive, here are the excerpts I found most interesting:

> COVERED COMPANY.—The term ‘‘Covered Company’’ means any person that owns or controls an App Store for which users in the United States exceed 50,000,000.

> SEC. 3. PROTECTING A COMPETITIVE APP MARKET. (a) EXCLUSIVITY AND TYING. A Covered Company shall not:

> (1) require developers to use an In-App Payment System owned or controlled by the Covered Company or any of its business partners as a condition of being distributed on an App Store or accessible on an operating system

> (2) require as a term of distribution on an App Store that pricing terms or conditions of sale be equal to or more favorable on its App Store than the terms or conditions under another App Store

> (3) take punitive action or otherwise impose less favorable terms and conditions against a developer for using or offering different pricing terms or conditions of sale through another In-App Payment System or on another App Store.

> (b) INTERFERENCE WITH LEGITIMATE BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS. A Covered Company shall not impose restrictions on communications of developers with the users of the App through an App or direct outreach to a user concerning legitimate business offers, such as pricing terms and product or service offerings.

> (d) INTEROPERABILITY. A Covered Company that controls the operating system or operating system configuration on which its App Store operates shall allow and provide the readily accessible means for users of that operating system to:

> (1) choose third-party Apps or App Stores as defaults for categories appropriate to the App or App Store

> (2) install third-party Apps or App Stores through means other than its App Store

> (3) hide or delete Apps or App Stores provided or preinstalled by the App Store owner or any of its business partners.

> (e) SELF-PREFERENCING IN SEARCH. (1) A Covered Company shall not provide unequal treatment of Apps in an App Store through unreasonably preferencing or ranking the Apps of the Covered Company or any of its business partners over those of other Apps. Unreasonably preferencing - (A) includes applying ranking schemes or algorithms that prioritize Apps based on a criterion of ownership interest by the Covered Company or its business partners; and (B) does not include clearly disclosed advertising.

> (f) OPEN APP DEVELOPMENT. Access to operating system interfaces, development information, and hardware and software features shall be provided to developers on a timely basis and on terms that are equivalent or functionally-equivalent to the terms for access by similar Apps or functions provided by the Covered Company or to its business partners.

Why would you being a socialist or not make a difference here?
Interesting idea. I was going to ask how we know they didn't perform some sleight of hand at the last moment with a secret 1,001st probe. But I guess if we can confirm that the private key is securely and randomly generated we can verify the validator's public key once it's in orbit. OK, let's do this.
This comment resonates a lot with me. Over the years, I realized that while I may not know the most in some areas, the fact that I am able to communicate what I do know clearly and efficiently often makes up the difference. You quickly learn that people aren't really expecting you to hold the entire knowledge base in your head as long as you're willing to admit you may not know the best answer/best solution but are willing to dig for it.

Not quite true, but mostly. In the UK we're more Imperial than metric, but anyone under the age of 50 will struggle with Fahrenheit.

But, our speed limits are miles per hours. More people weigh in stones and pounds than kg. Milk containers are going to litres, but we think in pints.

Software engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and over ten years of experience in several technologies and programming languages. There are two fields where I mainly act: (1) DevOps; from database administration and data modeling to back-end programming or front-end design all the way to orchestrated deployment with latest tech and (2) Standalone software; involves embedded development in restrict environments, blockchain applications mostly related to Parity's Substrate and plain command-line interfaces.

On the open-source side of things, I regularly contribute to several projects, helping and communicating with other developers. Take a look at the available coding portfolio in my GitHub profile at https://github.com/c410-f3r where my public collaborations in the last fours years are more focused on the Rust Programming Language ecosystem.

Over 40 certified courses have been completed and eight professional certifications that covers a wide range of area were obtained from different organizations, e.g., Google (Cloud) and the Blockchain Training Alliance. Learning is very important to keep up with both old and new technologies, my newest certification is the Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) and more certifications will be earned over time.

To finish, IT in general is like a living organism that is constantly changing, that is why I am always looking forward for a new challenge to increase knowledge. For example, my proudest project is a constrained NP-problem solver compiled to WASM (https://c410-f3r.github.io/mop-playground) where I spent years reading scientific articles to write efficient data-structures and algorithms.
doing nothing is also a choice, with consequences(which are observably harmful) should be considered against the possible benefits/consequences of trying.

As Piers Anthony once said, "Only those with souls worry over whether or not they have them."
No, these people do not care. People on the Internet care. Engineers, scientists, mechanics, and carpenters in the US do just fine with imperial measurements.
Probably important to note that the temperature reading hasn't been confirmed:

The intrigue: There are some questions about the validity of the temperature reading, however. Randy Cerveny, the World Meteorological Organization's rapporteur for weather records, told the Associated Press the reading is “suspicious, so we’re not going to make any immediate determination.”

“It doesn’t sound terribly plausible,” Cerveny said. “But we’re not going to dismiss it.”
"We can't have nice things" has been around for a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_game_theory
I agree that what they are doing is highly inefficient, however they are doing it.

> Users don't desire to have the same UI across different OS environments, it's only an app's developers that care about that.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that. I personally enjoy having consistent user interfaces across the apps that I use, and there are many other people that would say the same, so I would avoid making broad assumptions. From our perspective, consistent user interfaces are a win-win for both the development team and the majority of end users. That being said, I'll take your feedback into account.
> However, NVME speaks in 4KB blocks, but NICs speak in ~1400 byte MSS chunks.

Ah, I had imagined the NIC TLS stuff to be more stream based, clearly out of my comfort zone this stuff.

> I can't think of a low cost, low-power "box of RAM" that can be attached at full speed to PCIe.

Yeah, I mean some FPGA cards could probably do the trick, but would not be a low cost option and I guess not low power if you want full speed PCIe.

Close but no cigar for p2pdma then...
> meters are used too

Sometimes we use those in the US, too. Context dependent.
It doesn't apply to this title. You'd have to be pretty dumb to think it's even possible for the temperature there to be 120c. Given the number and what it's describing it's easy to figure out which measure is being used. All this whinging over c/f is unnecessary.
Try Blindness by Saramago.
It's kind of science-fictiony in the theme but its literary fiction.
I feel that some level of imposter syndrome is healthy it means you’re cognizant of the fact that there might be something you’re missing or that there might be a “better” way.

I started my career in software 20 years ago with a good attitude and an “HTML for Dummies” book. It made me very cognizant that I was outgunned by a lot of my peers so it made me ask a lot of questions - half of them I’d figure out just figuring out how to pose a question while walking over to someone else’s cube.

I’ve gotten “better” as an engineer and there’s less I “don’t know” but I’m still always wondering, even on “simple” stuff if there’s not a “simpler” way to do it.

Isn't it the meteorological standard that temperature should be taken in the shadow, 1m from the ground? Maybe other factors are taken into account.
I'm not missing anything. This is completely irrelevant. If the gov is incompetent there will be a power vacuum that will be filled by something.
Yes, OK, everyone, Fahrenheit, we get it, metric system, cut the smugness, Axios is a US-centric publication, discuss the issues.

Such as: the feedback mechanisms that may come into play here. Europe, broadly, hasn’t been big on AC. That may have to change, as 322 Kelvin is just not bearable. But that means more power use…which means more energy use…which probably comes from fossil fuels…which means more issues with climate change.
And there are memes mocking teachers for doing exactly that, because it's just ridiculous pedantry when the unit is very clear from context.
> If someone wanted to start a serious competitor to github that shares the same basic data model it'd be pretty trivial to write up migration aides.

If it „did very well“ is, of course, a matter of your political views but Merkel’s coalition of the largest center right (CDU) und center left party (SPD) is exactly the reason why the political fringe on both ends of the spectrum has been radicalizing in the recent years. Merkel’s conservative voter base crumbles and she keeps on losing to the right.
The social democratic party has been losing voters, too, even more dramatically so to both the right and green/radical left. Both major parties became somewhat co-dependent clinging to their dwindling power over this country.

With all the scaremongering about a growing right wing party like the AfD, many Germans fail to realize its supporters have always been there and never grew in numbers but before Merkel had been represented by a caucus inside the most popular parties. There have been various connections inside the CDU and the “Seeheimer Kreis” in the SPD that have become marginalized during the Merkel years with her overly pragmatic and uninspired way of administering a whole country and not committing to any visible political principles.

As a famous German conservative politician of the 1970s once said: „There must never be a political party establishing itself on the right side of the CDU“ (or it‘ll be the end of its dominating power). Exactly that, leaving room for the AfD, was one of Merkel‘s biggest mistakes and it’s going to haunt Germany‘s politics for many years to come.
This sounds like "Deadly Boss Mods for games other than WoW" which probably is just cheating.
