I agree wholeheartedly with the argument: tools getting in a way is the ultimate annoyance; in fact, struggling to force Jest to play nicely with ESM modules and TypeScript was the final straw that pushed me towards Deno for library development.

However, the argument can be made against any tool, and I'd say Deno here is the least deserving: in most cases it has just adopted the "defaults" set by tsc, eslint, or prettier, and just like them it allows ignoring these rules where necessary.

That said, I also think Deno made the right choice by enforcing these by default. Hopefully, it will fight the tide of low-quality code that plagues NPM. I do have to wrestle the linter, but it's mostly because I'm writing libraries that by themselves are pushing the limits of the TS type system, e.g. in structurae[1] I make an extensive use of mixins extending built-in objects, and mixin support is still nascent in TS. This is far less common in day-to-day production code, where, for example, using `any` or `object` is more often a sign of sloppy thinking rather than a necessity.

I agree. When teaching, I try to choose my terms carefully so someone would not go astray from the subject matter. It is remarkable how easy it is to get stuck on a side-quest with looking up abstract terms, while-so missing the main topic. imo the graceful way to handle it is to drop references (and disclaimers in case they are time-consuming) when introducing new things.

Somehow math learning has the property that 'struggle with x, finish x. learn y. if I knew y before x it would've been so much smoother!' sounds correct, but in practice it often does not go so well.
mullvad has a long history of proving itself as being a good faith actor in the space. it's also first to step into new technology and infrastructure because they are truly interested and ideologically invested in what they are doing.

they don't use accounts or collect email addresses.

they accept cash in the mail

no matter what you think about crypto they were probably one of if not the first companies in the world to start accepting bitcoin in 2010 and have always self hosted their infrastructure, not offloading it to bitpay or whatever other company that just funnels right into chain analysis companies. back then bitcoin was on the super fringe and the only people interested and involved in it where people that were ideologically aligned with it's vision.

They started funding wireguard before it was cool and before anyone else gave a shit about wireguard.

They are the backbone for mozilla's vpn.

You can never REALLY be sure, but from what I can tell mullvad is the most honest and sincere vpn company in the space and I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else.

I disagree. The goal of intro classes isn’t to throw students into the crucible and make them experts ASAP, it’s to spark further independent interest in the field so the want to keep studying on their own time.

The faster they’re building “real” apps that they think are awesome the better. That way they’ll travel down the rabbit hole of advanced concepts in order to keep building cooler stuff, not because someone told them it will be useful in their professional life >4 years from now.
One of my favorite uses of Home Assistant so far has been to allow to be a bridge for voice control for cheap Bluetooth lights. I'm running it off a Raspberry Pi and wrote my own code to control the lights based on a reverse engineered description of the protocol I found online. HA makes it easy to connect to Google Assistant and Alexa as well.

It's also great being able to set whatever rules for automation I want. Far more powerful than IFTTT or any routines with Google Assistant or Alexa.
As a crusty old barnacle in my 30s, I'm inclined to think (with no empirical evidence mind you) that younger users prefer chat because they are used to looking at screens with a constantly updating ticker of new info.

i'm basically paying off my car, my (and my wife's) student loans, etc.

I would say about 5-10% of the money will go to increased creature comforts or better vacations. But beyond that it's been invested in college savings for my kid, our retirement and such.

The reality is, I'm trapped in my role. The only thing to do is continue and enjoy life to the best of my ability outside of work and to use the money i get for the best life i can have.

I have a financial opportunity here most people never get. I'm burnt out and disengaged and have only been here a month, but I will continue to work against my attitude and try to make the best of it.

I have to.

Since it comes up often on here, these are the reasons why I use a VPN provider:

1. my threat model is not my government. It seems that the TLAs have thoroughly pwned our privacy for a long time now. (please note that I am in no way advocating for this mass surveillance, but I don't see that I have much choice in the matter)

2. My threat model includes my ISP. I am forced to use a scummy ISP who would openly steal my data if I let them. Same with my mobile provider.

3. My threat model includes the data thieves who have obvious business models built around selling my stolen data to the highest bidder.

4. My threat model includes black hats and script kiddies.

5. Do I trust my VPN provider? Eh. A little. For now. The thing is, I trust them more than #s 2,3,4 above. What other choice do I have?
which search algorithm does it use?
I found it very hard to figure out how to choose content, since I don't personally know anyone using the app yet. I like the concept, and I don't think I want an algorithm as a lunachpad, but Flickr always had groups/categories/etc that helped with discovery. I was surprised Glass didn't have anything similar to that. It felt like a huge hurdle to get into the app.
How bad of a bite was this? I've been bitten during play with my dog more times than I can count and I've never once considered going to the doctor over it, let alone getting a vaccine for it...so strange to me.
Honestly, as a black person I'm all too familiar with this kind of obliviousness. For me, it usually comes in the form of dumb commentary like..

"We can fix this in a way like the following; if I were a kid from the rough part of town, I would go to the library instead of joining a gang. We need to work on why this doesn't happen more."

In a way, these are even worse because they're simultaneously technically correct and royally stupid and completely unhelpful because it's very obvious the writer is absolutely ignorant and clueless about the big picture and efforts that already exist. It's like running up in a hospital and yelling at doctors to wash their hands because infections ARE STILL KILLING PEOPLE.
Awesome. Best of luck!

I wonder sometimes what it means to have no reaction to vaccines. I've had lots of vaccinations. In the military I lost count of how many pneumatic shots I got, including ones for things like yellow fever, which have a reputation for making you sick. But I never have a reaction. Not to to the aforementioned yellow fever shot, not to the tetanus shot, nothing for either of my COVID shots (which were Pfizer). I hope they're all working :)

But I 100% agree that I'd rather get sick from a shot and know that it was just annoying, not serious, than to actually risk the real deal.
People get mad when you start counting up how much salary the hours of meetings about why you aren't moving faster chews up.

I also tried it out recently, because I wanted to make a small utility for myself and liked the idea of it providing a single executable (and bypassing the node/NPM ecosystem for learning a JS/TS based system appealed to me). It delivered on that beautifully, as all I did is switch from running "deno run" as I was for testing to "deno compile" and it delivered to me exactly what I was looking for. A bit large at 57 MB but that's not too bad for a fully bundled JS runtime and no library dependencies except glibc that I could see.

As someone that's barely touched node for dev and always been put off by NPM and how that works (and the heavy build chain for some stuff), I find it much more palatable.

Search engines are a big deal, so much so that I could see crawling with a browser extension or browser automation. However, Discord also discourages use of the web app.

How about if when the app's data is fully locked down, people start recording their screens and OCRing them? Incentivize it somehow. That way at least content that the participating users viewed would be indexed. Then you get back to trying to block people from recording their own screen with software, and after that hardware[1]. Never ending cat and mouse game.

You know why volunteer helpers get treated like servants? Because people are looking for answers, now. And there’s so many pointless barriers in the way, it’s maddening. Imagine if instead of Google being a search engine the way it is now where you get results damn near instantly, you instead had to jump into some big Google chat room and ask someone a question and wait some undefined amount of time to get a response, and often a useless one.

People are in a hurry, if you’re not giving them what they want, then just get the fuck out of the way.

My issue is exactly with how they're marketed and sold.

Information theory proves there's an infinite number of ways in which you can codify something. The subset of encodings that meets the rules imposed by any middlebox is in turn infinite.

> they aren’t perfect and are only effective against certain behavior

This means that they are only effective against default behavior.

Anything else is out of scope for these products, which I think is what @laumars was referring to with "outside the bounds of normal expected operation".

Marketing sophisms can be fun, but defining something as a "security product" when it is mathematically proven that there are infinite ways to bypass the provided "security guarantees" is ... simply something I refuse to do.

javafx was released and pulled in between lts versions.
introduced in 9 and removed in 11.

https://www.infoworld.com/article/3261066/javafx-will-be-rem...

11 is still the most recent LTS version, 17 doesnt even have a openjdk release yet

never migrated to 11 because nothing we have running perfect on 8 ever passed its unit tests on 11.

Even the 17 release notes basically seem to imply 17 is not ready for production.
It certainly appears to be. That's a bit confusing, however. Every example photograph rather prominently notes the camera, not phone, it was taken with. The features seem primarily useful for camera-and-raw-processing photographers. The website doesn't seem to indicate that it's iPhone only, but the feedback section, and the lack of any way to log in or sign up other than the link to the iOS App Store, certainly suggests that it is. The feedback section even suggests that it doesn't support iPads well, and is phone-focused.

What's the intended usage here? Take a photograph with your camera, transfer it to your computer, process it there, export it... then transfer it to your phone in order to post it? Why?

Well just crunching the numbers should indicate what is possible and what isn't.

For the moment I have just south of 20 million URLs indexed.

1 x 20 million bytes = 20 Mb.

10 x 20 million bytes = 200 Mb.

100 x 20 million bytes = 2 Gb.

1,000 x 20 million bytes = 20 Gb.

10,000 x 20 million bytes = 200 Gb.

100,000 x 20 million bytes = 2 Tb.

1,000,000 x 20 million bytes = 20 Tb.

This is still within what consumer hardware can deal with. It's getting expensive, but you don't need a datacenter to store 20 Tb worth of data.

How many bytes do you need, per document, for an index? Do you need 1 Mb of data to store index information about a page that, in terms of text alone, is perhaps 10 Kb?
I see this a lot with automotive forums, or someone steals the name of a popular forum for their group.
Of course they're being quashed.

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies.

Amazon, Apple, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. are multibillion-dollar corporations that control a colossal share of online communications.

You approve of said quashing because it aligns with your political ideology.

The provocation of suicidal thoughts of grown-ups often comes from feeling stuck in a shitty life situation while watching the never ending photo-streams falsely portraying happy lives, beautiful products and experiences you cannot afford, the partners you will never have participating in staged social occasions that you will never attend while dining your depression meds. and feeling numb, lifeless and without energy.

So even if Facebook succeeds in removing all predatory, malicious and disturbing content, are they going to eliminate all of the above from Zuck's kiddy-insta?

I see absolutely no reason why kids should be any different than grown-ups in this regard. Quite the opposite. Kids are absolutely obsessed with comparing themselves to other kids, and Zuck's Kiddy-insta is an absolute recipe for disaster.

That was unnecessarily condescending.

I'm sure you see the issue here. Onus is on you to prove the point, not for me to blindly accept it because I didn't know what a business acronym meant.
But then not the same because one as you say is just a datastructure that has existed already and uses standard computer science constructions. But the data structure is also revolutionary? That's a contradiction. So the other blockchain is not a datastructure but a separate unrelated concept
I love the idea of "annotating everything" / the web.

A browser extension or something would liberate people from these walled social media gardens of interacting. Just not attractive and a hard sell.

I remember seeing a cringy interview of the founders. Candidly, I'm not surprised they couldn't convert their idea and make it happen with something bigger. Who knows though they did raise the cash.

I still think there is room here though.

TinyBeans [0] is the ideal photo sharing app for me & my family. It is totally focused on empowering you to (1) build a chronological feed of good photos and videos and (2) share it with a tightly controlled group of people.

TinyBeans really helped my parents stay connected to their grandkids during the COVID lock downs. We're still using it as things open up because it gives me all the goodness of sharing baby pictures with none of the creepiness of social media. As a bonus, it also acts as a traditional photo book, archiving all our family photos in a searchable way. I pay for it, so I know I'm the customer and not the product.

It's happier on this version of the internet :)

This base ignorance of the function of a firearm is one of the biggest reasons why firearm-related accidents happen. You might not want a gun, and fine—that’s your stance—but you should know how it works and how to use it.

That is FAR more information than most people have. Even the basic rules of gun safety - never point a gun at something you aren't willing to shoot, treat every firearm as if it's loaded, and keep your booger hook off the bang switch (and outside of the trigger guard entirely) until you're ready to fire - are more than most people know. "How to clear the gun or check the safety" might as well be rocket science.
