What exactly is wrong with Goodreads? I keep hearing a lot of hate about it, but the reasons seem never expanded on.

I use Goodreads to maintain a public bookshelf of books I have read or want to read. It's also nice that I can check what my friends are reading. Occasionally it's nice to read other people's views on a book. I typically tend not to agree, but it's nice that these exist.

That's it. Isn't that what Goodreads is about? Seems like a nice website and perfectly suited for what it does. Am I missing something?

> how Linux isn’t ready for the masses due to poor user experience, problems and difficult solutions etc., I want to donate to help solve it.

I think the ship has sailed long time ago. Today, when users hear Linux on desktop, it means you have to use the console to have things done, which isn't a bad thing but makes software makes expect Linux users to sort out issues when on Mac/Windows if you fail to deliver working software it means your product is not existing in main distribution channel.

Take most common software package, Firefox, here is how to install it on Ubuntu: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux.

You have to install a flatpack first. As a user I want to go the the software website, click install and that's it. To make Linux usable on a desktop, it has to appeal. Currently the appeal is it's free and some of the distros don't have a spyware/ads integrated, which is awesome.

I can't see any ways of Linux and its 600 distros becoming flagship user experience, freeBSD on the other hand might have a chance.
Exactly, people who keep honestly earned currency in a bank can probably afford to laugh on the way there—they are used to paying tax, they don’t have to worry about new KYC measures somewhere or theft of their token device invalidating their savings, etc.

They can be made fun of by cryptocurrency holders here on HN, but interacting with the financial system is much less like a warzone for them.
Thank you for taking the time to answer. It’s insightful to get to know the perspective from the other side.

If it helps, I can recommend you to take a look at https://nearsoft.com/ it’s a Mexican company, I personally know very talented people working there. They have high standards during interviews, they seem to really care about who they hire (disclaimer, I don’t work there).

Not easy because they must also be willing to endure the 2nd class tooling that Google creates for C and C++ on the platform, on top of the usual development issues.

But still, it is much enjoyable than using any other framework that adds even more layers to the puzzle.
> With War on Terror and also War on Drugs everyone bought into the premise.

I was a teenager when the "War on Terror" was announced and even back then I thought that this is a silly concept, because:

1) Terror is a concept. How can you fight and win a war against a concept?

2) The goal of Terror is to use violence and fear to rally a political point. If we change our entire way of living because of terrorists, doesn't that somehow mean we give them more leaverage over our way of living than we should?

As it now turned out, the whole "War on Terror" didn't work out, couldn't have worked out etc. People are kinda fed up with this "we all have to give up $freedom to gain a slight edge against $virtual_threat". I mean there are even people who wouldn't give up a bit of comfort for a real and imidiate threat like Covid.

> The charges of anti-Semitism need to be acknowledged.

Does it? He's dead. What's with the ever-present compulsion to linger, especially by social media medalists bent on writing volumes?

What is there even to say? "Anti-Semitism is bad, folks." "Okay."

I kind of assume that most historical figures were a piece of shit in some way. (Fun fact: even in cases where the assumption doesn't hold up, the effect is null; there is no downside to starting from this assumption and letting yourself be wrong.) Doesn't everyone else? Or has everyone been living their lives this whole time thinking any differently, so these kinds of things come as a shock, rather than being the expectation?
Then why don't they vote for representatives that support ongoing post natal care, education, support, etc. etc.?
Most founders never draw a salary. Funding yourself amounts to spending money, not earning it. Starting a business with no investment or cash flow is a huge risk at odds with the security of providing for a family. Getting a mortgage on a house likely requires a stable salary.

Getting some seed funding would likely radically improve your lifestyle without curtailing your upside much. At least make sure your partner knows you’re making this choice. Good luck!

I should clarify that statement to - I don't wish to involve a 3rd party I don't trust (e.g. small startup) in handling transactions with 3rd parties I trust (e.g. Amazon SES, Mailgun, Sendgrid, etc). I don't mean to imply that the proprietors of this service are not fully capable of creating a great system, however I am fairly certain that most decision makers on using something like this would take pause where I did.

Why? The authors write the papers for free, the peer review is done by other scientists for free. Why should this "netflix for science" get to reap the profits by locking it behind a paywall? The reason why predatory publishers still exist is a coordination problem. The journals have prestige built up historically, and the scientists need to publish in prestigious journals for their career. It's a chicken and egg problem.

> Back in the '90s, "Object-Oriented" got redefined in popular imagination to "good". If your language or system was good, it was then by definition object-oriented, and anything good had therefore to be called OO. Saying something was not actually OO (as we find here) was taken to mean it was not good, generating spurious conflict.

A similar thing happened with functional programming.
Hm.. if BTC is negative, then you’d be paying negative taxes on it (IRS paying you, or equivalently you paying less tax on e.g. income). A lot of people want that, so they’d want BTC, bringing it back into positive.

It does feel a bit neglected/dead (except for the fact that people still use it a bunch) - the changes come rarely. In some sense this is nice! It's a stable piece of software that does what it should do.

One thing I find lacking is that it seems to mostly be used by english-speakers. So the one case where I'd be curious to use the social networking features, for non-English-lanuage literature, it falls flat. There's no equivalent to it that I know of for the German-language world (that people actually use), which is irksome, because I'd actually use the social networking features there (whereas for English literature I know what I like and don't care what other people read, I don't know German literature as well).

But not becoming terrible is a nice side-effect of this...it's not even a managed decline, it's just pottering along okay! But it is odd. I wonder what their high-level strategy as a business is.
Kubernetes is way too overengineered. It should be as simple as docker compose.

If they turned off before you passed the departure end, I’d raise that as safety concern (ASRS at a minimum, but this is something that I’d probably take straight to the FSDO).
On the server side, I suppose you can use this, but it usually makes sense to use a vendor SDK directly rather than rely on and hand user data to yet another middle man that might disappear at any time. I guess bridging personal email providers is an interesting idea, but it doesn’t make sense to use a personal email account when you’re beyond the free tier of a few emails a day anyway.

On the client side, unless you want to authorize spam sent from your account to any recipient of an attacker’s choosing, you can only use this service to send emails to fixed recipients, so most use cases of transactional email (e.g. user authentication, notification, marketing) are out of question. Sending emails on behalf of users to yourself on a contact page is the sole use case I can think of, but that market is crowded as is with more focused and less confusing offerings. Any other use cases I missed?
Id even go as far to say that you can add that to everything you read and it enables you to be more relaxed.

I think it’s a different view. Technical-savvy people who know how the web was conceived and thought like decentralization because it promises freedom. In my (limited) experience users just want ease of use and nice UX, and just don’t take into account the long term implications of their choices. I’m afraid, like someone said earlier, that decentralization solves a problem mainstream don’t have and don’t want to have.
At this point I'm not sure why so many people seem to be intentionally missing this point.

The usual reply is that since this pre-filtering happens on the device it "crossed the line" and it's evil because since the code exists in the device it's one step before midnight as it could be used to scan everything on the device.

I think this argument is not rational for a few reasons:

1.The mere absence of some code doesn't mean much in a platform that is designed to receive system software updates over the air.

2. You already have to trust Apple to do the right thing. The situation was ready pretty grim even before this. Apple may decide at any point in time to go full surveillance on any device. The fact that decide to do it or not is completely orthogonal to whether they ship this particular client side pre-uplpad CSAM fingerprinting tool. If you really don't trust Apple, stay away from their devices and fight them where it matters (e.g. to ensure that comply to interoperability so people who choose free and open devices are not locked out from the world)

3. If Apple didn't want to honestly push for e2e encryption, why on earth would they bother going through this extra hoop? If they had the master keys to all of your data they wouldn't need to run anything on your device before encrypting the data. The fact they are proposing such a system is a good indication they understand the consequences of end to end encryption: that they totally lose control on what they end up hosting on their cloud storages.

4. The time of most discussions here is that of people who already hate Apple and are just looking for a high-profile mishap to unload their guns. See point 2: there are already plenty of reasons to prefer open and free alternatives and stay away from Apple, IMO there is no need to fabricate additional outrage
For completeness sake: I was referring to your first comment where you demand proof for all possible interpretations.

Mastodon goes around this problem by only linking to servers that adhere to their covenant[0], which includes sane stuff like daily backups, >1 person with access to the server, minimum of 3 months notice before shutdown, and moderation.

So, any community you see here[1] promises to give you a notice. I'm assuming other software will eventually reach the number of servers where something similar makes sense to implement.

Indeed. One thing I notice is that a requirement for most, if not all, personality disorders is abuse. And when we talk about a disease, we normally know it can manifest itself in different symptoms in different people, but we still say that the person has the disease, and not that specific combination of symtpoms.

So then that got me wondering why is medicine focused on the psychological symptoms and naming their clusters, when the cause is always the same. If a person has a bacterial infection and gets a sore throat, he will get treated for the bacteria. If that same bacteria gives another person diahrrea, he will still get treated for the bacteria. And yet.... with personality disorders medicine is so focused on clusterizing the symptoms and treating those instead of going after the cause. But then again, not more than 60 years ago we still called all personality disorders hysteria and demonic possession, so I'm pretty sure we are in a similar dark age right now, we just happen to think we're more enlightened than we are (like all generations).
You are somewhat correct.
Official statistics on murders broken down by race and land ownership are difficult to find so it makes having a conversation on the topic difficult. The statistics that are available on white farm murders indicate that their murder rate is within the average for for rural/farm areas.

But the new class(es) needs to be documented regardless as the relation to the code has changed from the old.

Keeping documentation in another document would see this going out of sync over time until the document doesn't at all reflect how the code looks. Not updating anything at all will leave others clueless of why the change was needed 4 months later and might see the other classes grow to the same size. Thus, eventually the code base will once again be opaque unless you ask the nearest person that worked on it last.

A nicer way of handling the flow of the document would be to use a literate programming tool that allows for keeping code snippets in an order which makes sense for the documentation rather than sprinkling as comments between the code. That way, code review happens at the same time as documentation review with code being local to the text documenting it in a format which is easy to understand for both.

> C lets you use OO if you want it

Tenuous - if you are willing to implement objects yourself then you could use C sure, but I don't think that means the language "lets you use OO". It's like you could also probably implement algebraic datatypes in C using unions and structs, but would that mean "C lets you use algebraic datatypes"? I would strongly argue no.
> or expose nasty side channel attacks".

Good point, but also keep in mind that unlike desktop/laptop processors these probably aren't going to be running untrusted JS from random web pages or binary "drivers" to watch premier league free, use Photoshop without paying etc.
