I mean I was thinking more about the thing were WMF files used to allow you to run scripts inside the files which created security issues https://www.computerworld.com/article/2826084/what-you-need-... - lots of functionality that is enabled to make things easier for applications to do stuff is fundamentally insecure, so pushing a solution to fix the security issue will sometimes lead to remove functionality from the application that the user has to accept.

So the premise that we could remove security issues but not touch functionality seems utopian.

I predict that this would be circumvented just like environmental cleanup laws are.

Your create a new company, release the product, promise the moon. You cash out on the profits of the initial sale. The company goes bankrupt, so sadly you cannot provide support anymore.
You’re correct, the post isn’t completely true- Swift syntax isn’t more familiar to beginners than ObjC is, because in their pursuit to take out the C, they also replaced several of the long-standing C patterns such as lack of prefix/postfix operators, standard for loops, parameter name and type ordering.

A version of the most popular input method for japanese, adapted to latin, seems suitable: the layout is your good ol' feature phone numpad, but instead of tapping 1 2x to input b and 3x to input c, swipe left on that key for b and up to input c instead, etc.

With Latin's smaller alphabet, you can even have the best of both predictive text and precise input: maybe have the plain tap on 1 be a wildcard (a|b|c) for the predictive engine to infer

Why is this comment so heavily down-voted? The parent provides an alternative blockchain, that has been really well engineered by a world class team of developers. Is decentralized, has the ability to write smart contracts, has already implemented some of the features eth 2.0 is promising, currently sitting 3rd place in terms of market-cap right behind Ethereum (which we are talking about here).

Some of you people who down-vote without providing a proper reason are down right evil.
Yup. They can become aggressive and bad-tempered. So can smackheads. So can alcoholics. Hell, some people are aggressive and bad-tempered without the help of any drugs at all.

Solution: avoid hanging around with bad-tempered people.

Alternative solution: launch an unwinnable global war on drugs.
It was DDOSed. Someone actually attacked it.
Sidekiq is not a workaround. This is a myth.
Most companies need to persist their jobs (what happens during deployments or when a process dies? do u just let all the job info disappear?) and have some kind of queue system.
Even Elixir has some redis backed queues.
BEAM, OTP, concurrency, this whole thing is solved with the current fashion of devops teams and kubernetes. It doesn't really matter what tech stack you use anymore it can quite easily scale. Our devops team is 2-3 people and they're scaling our Rails architecture easily. Our scale is quite big since we're a b2c company and most of their effort isn't even on scale but on making deployments easier and troubleshooting all kinds of dev problems / pager duty alerts.
They would do the same amount of work if they were doing that with Elixir.
If you're hitting Whatsapp scale yes Ruby is less than ideal. Could we stop pretending like the challenges of 5 companies are what most devs need to go through?
No, because that would be contrary to data portability requirements. Deleting the data would only be appropriate for PII

I’ve been using BookCrawler (iOS) for the last decade-plus to keep track of what I get (to avoid accidentally purchasing multiple copies), but I’ve discovered that at around 3,000 entries both the search functionality as well as all internal stats suddenly took a vicious and permanent dirt nap, and never recovered.

This threshold was reached a few years ago, so who knows how many books I have now. Everything else in that app works spectacularly fine, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> it requires a connection to allow interactivity, but this isn't different from being unable to post a tweet while driving under the subway. The interesting thing about the subway usecase is even google docs last I checked will go into read-only mode when the connection is lost...

I think that 'read-only mode' and 'can't interact at all' mode are not the same.

I often have google news open when the train vanishes down a tunnel and keep scrolling down reading headlines until we're out the other side.

If a website freezes on me, I close it.

> Having said all that, one thing we are upfront about in general is LiveView is obviously not a good fit applications that require offline support :)

Not a good fit is rather charitable...

It becomes totally unresponsive and totally unusable in any offline or high latency situation (trains, stadiums, remote areas) right?

I know, and I've read your responses that 'well, all websites have to interact with a server eventually, so it's pretty much the same as that only better...' but, well... when you build websites like this, that's why product managers say "no, we don't want a website, we want an app".
In The Restaurant at the end of the Universe, Douglas Adams envisaged a genetically engineered cow that was intelligent enough to tell the restaurant-goers that it wanted to be eaten.
> My worry was that the chain of trust is broken by definition - as soon as you store things outside the chain.

From the chain perspective they never really leave the chain. They are either locked (most L2 solutions such as Bitcoin Lightning) or they are held by someone else (most centralized custodians, including exchanges). So the worst that can happen is that the locked/held coins get "stolen".
>However, I do believe that making video public via a shareable link or otherwise puts it in the territory where content rules similar to youtube might get reasonably applied.

I actually think that not making a distinction between publishing to the world and sharing with a small group of people is the biggest source of unreasonableness in all of these debates.

When I'm interacting and sharing with a few people I know or who I just met, I expect companies and governments to stay out of it (unless there is a criminal investigation overseen by a judge). I don't think that's unreasonable at all. It used to be the status quo until not very long ago.

Everything from political activity to copyrights can be discussed in a far more sensible way if we make that distinction. As soon as we erase that distinction, which has sometimes happened because it's the default with some technologies, everything becomes essentially unsolvable.

E.g, I don't want to defend the right to anonymity of someone who directly and systematically influences entire populations just because I expect to be allowed to do the equivalent of talking to three strangers in a pub without showing ID.

Google knows how many different people access a particular piece of shared content. They should just set a reasonable threshold before unleashing their crude algorithms. 2 is not a reasonable threshold. How about 200?
I've been thinking about this too after doing a few LiveView projects but on occasions needing better interactivity on the front end than is easy with hooks and something like AlpineJS.

Many web front ends are built on the Elm architecture / Redux or my favourite, re-frame in Clojurescript land where the view is driven directly by the app state.

What I'd love to have would be the same LiveView connection, with one part of the state object on the server synced to one key in the global app state in the browser. You could keep the rest of the server data private, and the browser side can keep it's own state that's not needed on the server out of the way, but one part would always remain up to date.

Not sure if it would be 2 way sync, or more likely, send events back to the server and the updates would magically arrive on the syncd part of the app db. Events from server to client would also be useful.

It should be pretty efficient if it was diffed too. Phoenix LiveSync ;-)

There’s an old dude upwind from our house who still heats his home with coal.. probably the last in our village of 4000 people which has had mains gas since the 1990s.

It’s choking outside in the winter, just from this one fire. I’m thinking about offering to put in a heat pump for him and pick up his electricity bill, it’s that bad.

Imagine what it was like when everyone used to heat with it !
I think you'll find that the effort is measurable, and not subjective.

How can you possibly argue that the army of programmers Apple has devoted to working on this one stack in one domain do less work than the widely distributed work done by a far smaller number of programmers on a far larger number of desktop stacks?

Don't be ridiculous.

I didn't say that the outcomes were better, just that more effort has been put in, in terms of hours-of-human effort.
Alternately: we don’t have time to fuck around with trying to convince a significant portion of humanity to transform their diets and toss all the cultural significance that goes along with foods we’ve eaten for thousands of years. Impossible burgers are fine as far as veggie burgers go, but few would call them “just as good”.

Raise everyone’s taxes by 1% and put all the additional revenue into replacing coal plants with modern nuclear. Mixing up the goal of GHG gas reduction with all sorts of other long term poltical, conservation, and cultural ideas is only slowing us down.
> My worry was that the chain of trust is broken by definition

As I understand it, the idea is you put the data itself off chain but keep hashes on chain. Anyone who downloads the data can verify it by checking that the hash matches what is stored on chain.
Reading through comments it seems this forum has bought in very heavily into eth and doesn't like challengers that could potentially bankrupt their investment.

It's amazing watching this unfold in real time, greed really does change people.

Delphi 11 Alexandria
Wow, that sounds fancy and sounds almost like an AI counterparty when you put it that way. Did you mean counterparty (the other person in the transaction) or trusted third party (the third leg of most transactions, like lawyers who negotiate then witness a deal). My understanding was smart contracts attempt to replace the trusted third party with a trusted system.

But are they autonomous and do they really have any agency outside the very limited confines of a scripted response to known situations (like if x happens send x ETH)? Are they able to send contract disputes to arbitration or courts in case of disagreement? If not that doesn't strike me as particularly useful.

I do really like the concept of standard contracts though which everyone agrees to just use - could save a lot of lawyer fees on contracts for M&A for example which really should have been standard components plugged together with very little customisation but instead take 6 months of bickering and use copy-pasted contracts inherited from 100 former deals at those lawyers with all sorts of archaic language. If I were in that space I'd be trying to attack that problem and partner with a law firm to take on either very small contracts like wills or very large contracts like M&A in a given vertical.
Tech E&O – 4 Factors Governing Technology Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
Four important factors you should know about this policy.
The Independence of Mongolia is probably about Inner Mongolia, which is part of China. You can read some history about how Mongolia became independent. The official map of ROC (Republic of China) does not officially recognize Mongolia. The PRC (CCP) recognized the independence of Mongolia. Probably people in Mongolia think Inner Mongolia in China should be part of their territory, and there is an organization for that.

China is pro Palestine if you follow the news. The relationship between Palestine and China goes back to 80s.

I don't think Xiaomi cares what people in Lithuania are reading, other than selling its phones. I don't think CCP cares about what people in Lithuania are reading.
> Forcing a sentient being to live an existence that it didn't evolve for is extremely cruel.

This seems like it would strongly apply to modern day humans living in an extremely complex, sedentary, large scale and atomized world. Much more so than cows even!

Playstation 2 games were generally bug free. Same goes for Nintendo cartridges.
I've never typed any of those characters at a shell prompt or within code.

I rarely express them within a file. (I do use vim's digraph feature to some extent.)

In contexts where mathematical relations are necessary and used, there are virtually always ASCII-based inputs for them. (I mostly encounter these in GNU units and bc, though a More Serious Numbers person might make use of python, Octave, or Mathematica.)

"A specific rich-text experience" would include contexts such as a Web browser or LaTeX ouput. Note that under most circumstances characters can be input by other and unambiguous methods.

Generally, the Greek alphabet doesn't have homoglyphs that would be confused with Roman. The same cannot be said for other alphabets, notably Cyrillic, say.

The ability to constrain programmatic contexts, or even a web browser's navigaion bar, to specific charactersets, say the local characterset of the user plus 7-bit ASCII (for all international access) seems like it might have strong arguments.

The fact that this cannot faithfully represent all proper names or references in their original language (rather than the user's) is a feature, not a bug.

Civilization games to me looks be like a software representation of board games. They are not simulations, and they are very gamified. It certainly feels good to play them, but after sometime with it, one might get a feeling that these are really board games with overcomplicated rules, and really nothing ambitious about them (I am speaking of games Civ 3 and upwards, the ones before are technologically remarkable considering the era in which they were made).

One other hand if you take XCOM in its various incarnations, it does have a very compelling game play loop, with very consequential decisions to be made, and the combination of tactical decision making at battle level and the long term factors in the overworld is a very interesting one.

In short, we do need to reassess if Civilization games are indeed great games, considering that they are unqualfyingly praised in much of the discussion.
You kind of still need to think about your queries though, especially when building more complicated stuff.

I do agree the batteries included part of Blitz makes it really pleasant to use if you need both front and backend.
Alcohol also helps a ton with foreign language speaking. Are there any parties at work or events where you could have a drink or two?

The solution will not work at scale.

It will kind of work at scale, but we're very genuinely concerned that it somehow manage to achieve exactly the opposite of its aims.

It requires subsidies, which is communism, except when incumbents get them, which is rugged capitalism.

Because we stopped the government subsidizing it, it'll really hurt the poor, even though it's clearly cheaper in the long term.
Phones (at least android ones, don't know about apple ones) allow you to change your keyboard and there are all kind of keyboards. I was using a "swipe" keyboard before, looks (and can work) similar to a normal keyboard but you could also swipe your finger over the keys you want to type without raising your finger and it was doing a pretty good job at predicting what you wanted to type. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a virtual version of the keyboard that OP is using

I think a qwerty keyboard makes sense as a default since that is what people used to and it is hard to teach people new things. But there are alternatives for people wants to try them
My yeshiva experience was a lot less exciting because we were based in middle of nowhere with nothing to do (by design). That didn't stop me from spending a lot of time in the beis medrash talking with my chavrusa about philosophy, theology, religion, or just nonsense. Anything but actually learning what I was supposed to. Eventually I lost all my chavrusas as they broke up with me for being a deadbeat. This is the yeshiva equivalent of being a terrible romantic partner and eventually running out of people in town to date.

Also, I don't know why people make yeshivos in the old city. It's a terrible place to be if you want the young men to actually focus on learning.

It's a bit of a mess, but have you tried using emacs-webkit[0]? You can have vi-style keybindings via evil-collection, the window management is pretty good, the browser engine is pretty standard. I've used it with spacemacs, and it's overall a decent experience.

It's not quite Gecko though, and I don't think WebExtensions work yet. Also the single-threadedness of emacs itself can be a bother (of course the browser component is separate).

Options:

- to keep things affordable for those who can afford to buy only a few devices

- to extract as much money as possible from those who can afford to buy multiple devices

It’s a pricing strategy. That doesn’t have to reflect what it costs them at all, but ideally should match what it’s worth to the customer (if it doesn’t, they either leave money on the table or don’t get sales)
Given that we aren't even near having a general purpose AI the idea of an AI that can only write better versions of itself sounds a lot less terrifying.

Yep, search is a thing, but far from preferable to menu customization for me - not as hs/ld, in my opinion. Requires more input and more brain cycles to start typing a name with (potentially) both hands than to hit the win key and select the pictograph that’s immediately there in the same spot every time. It’s hardly a process of manually going through the start menu unless you need something unpinned. Having both options is great, but I like my regular ‘work tools’ laid out before me, arranged by activity - a pod of icons for my video/audio editing, a pod for dev work tools, a pod of icons for office apps, etc.

But yeah, in win11 search is more of a focus not because it’s a new feature compared to win10, but because they hobbled the other features, and that seems like an enormous step backwards to me (the loss of customization/options).

Win 11 lets you pin apps to the menu still, but there’s no grouping, half the menu is taken up by a “recommended” section, and there’s no resizing of it. For the unchangeable half of the menu, which so far as I can tell is not an MRU list, it does hold recently installed apps from the store (and nowhere else) and likely will be used to stub in advertised apps (call me cynical). It’s a crippling change, and I suspect we’ll see those features added back in sooner or later. Much like win8.1. That’s about the best I can hope for anyway. MS is intent to release as-is.
