"support larger screens and refresh rates"

Uh, yah 4k, etc but most of the modern machines are still 1920x1080@60hz. Which is only 8% larger than 1600x1200 which wasn't an uncommon resolution in the late 1990's, usually running at 75Hz or better over analog vga cables. So its actually _LESS_ bandwidth, which is why many of us cried about the decade+ of regression in resolution/refresh brought on by the LCD manufactures deciding computer monitors weren't worthy of being anything but overpriced TV screens. Its still ongoing, but at least there are some alternatives now.

It is possible to get office97 (or for that matter 2003, which is one of the last non sucky versions) and run it on a modern machine. It does basically everything instantly, including starting. So I don't really think resolution is the problem.

PS, I've had multiple monitors since the late 80's too, in various forms, in the late 1990's driving multiple large CRTs at high resolution from secondary PCI graphics cards, until they started coming with multiple ports (thanks matrox!) for reasonable prices.
This has to be part of the understanding that any change or upgrade to the tool chain is a project in its own right that will require an amount of work in order to check that the code still compiles and that the resulting builds are satisfactory.

If you have a rule that there must be 0 warnings it has to be on the assumption that compiler warnings are red flags that need to be looked at. So you need to keep that discipline: if a new version of the compiler add warnings and your code trigger them then it means you need to spend the time to look at each occurrence and to 'fix' it.
How accountability is chaos ?
Yes you should only disable them locally, in as small a region as possible. Though in a lot of cases in my experience this isn't so. They're generally bulk disabled before including external third party headers, they're disabled in low level projects, they're disabled in headers so that they can be submitted.

The point is that people often disable them in ways which they shouldn't just so they can compile their code and get on with fixing their bug or implementing their feature. Mainly because warnings get treated like errors and prevent the build from succeeding.

With warnings as warnings we could take a more caretaker approach to dealing with them and we shouldn't have these situations created.
The number of JS scripts I've had to add any error handling to is too damn high.

I like that Go forces at least some kind of error handling.

The "signal/noise ratio" problem fades after a while - you start seeing "if err != nil {...}" as a single statement after a while, a steady rhythm in the code. You notice when it's not there, or when it's doing something different.
Not really, and it definitely isn't any more ridiculous than going to a gym. This gym is just mobile so you can combine two activities.

People wind up commuting and it isn't all that uncommon to commute for 20-30 minutes or more. If that time is a commute by bus/car, it is further than most folks can reasonably walk or ride a bike in all weather - not in that same timeframe, anyway. 20-30 minutes is enough time to exercise a little bit, though. Why not do it during some time you'd just sit there?
Israel too.

Although doing my best to get as many people as possible to use signal.
I think it's used a lot since it triggers a ton of heated engagement in a very short time.

I personally tend to not read these pieces anymore. I'm over my "I have strong opinions, and that's my style. Get used to it" style of writing quota for quite some time.

The last time I tried you could start fresh with just a phone number on messenger. That was 6 or 7 years ago so I'm not sure what has changed since then. Messenger always seemed very open to letting nonFB users in since they have a chance to be converted to full time users.
And things like metabolic illnesses can undo their coloration. We had one that developed hyperthyroidism and reverted towards kitten coloration…
We've always been followers and joiners. Look back 1000 years, we talked to very few people and our sphere of influence was small. Look at the changes the printing press had, influence could be cheaply disseminated. The newspapers took an out sized role and increased our sphere of influence. Today, with social media, our sphere is the entire world. It isn't curated (well, except to favor things that will cause outrage to sell ads) and it is information overload. This pushes us even further down the follower path. The world is too big and too complicated. It is impossible to be truly informed on a single issue. How could we possibly be objective on everything? Especially, when there are so many people purposefully trying to deceive for "eyeballs". Instead, we tend to pick a "trusted anchor" who we are in complete alignment with on a specific issue and then just trust them on everything else. It is quicker and makes us feel safe to be part of the group. We'll trust that person to loop us in as to what we should care about.

IMO, the only way out of this cycle is a tax on digital advertising revenue. Right now this media is extremely profitable and the only way to stop it is to make that not true.
Why is the point to tax the wealthy more? Why do we want to kill the incentive for starting companies and becoming wealthy?

My opinion, the left will only be happy with a 100% income tax and socialism.
There are ways of preventing unconscious bias in which you don’t degrade the integrity of the position. As I pointed out in my original post the army has solved this well, because in the army of you put someone in a position that isn’t right for it you put lives at stake.
What is the metaverse, and do I have to care?
That's the point of this discussion, and the significance of dumping these papers in the open: Facebook's concept of what your friends deem important is decided by Facebook, not by your friends. For example, if Facebook takes a global "Politics sells impressions" signal and applies it to your social network, the result would be over-sampling political content relative to the amount friends actually share it (with possible positive-feedback-loop consequences).
Async/Await vs. Coroutines vs. Promises vs. Callbacks
Simple active user count doesn't really reflect "the truth" either. Take myself - I count as an active user, but since the lockdowns started, I've gone from using FB daily to barely using it weekly. I ignore my feed completely and only check FB for photos from my parents and some niche marketplace groups. Anecdotally, I know quite a few people whose usage pattern has followed a similar path. I'm sure FB can still monetize me, but not nearly as well as 18 months ago.
Ye, Werror can be really annoying for the user of the code. If your team are the only user it is fine, but otherwise it just breaks by compiler version bumps.
This it he entire basis of their airtag system.
I can only assume they are waiting until next year to be sure how the vaccine picture shakes out. MRNA vaccines are clearly safe and effective, and have saved countless lives, but with the dopey politics in Sweden about Covid, I am not really that surprised.
Simplest Example of Simpson's Paradox
Assuming there's not some gotcha I'm unaware of, these new logos seem sufficiently descriptive. USB-C/Bandwidth/Power/They all support AV/They all support PD.

That solves the issue for cables/chargers anyway. Devices can still support whatever alt modes they want, and there's not really a way for the USB IF to fix that since the details of specific alt modes aren't really part of the USB spec AFAIK. That'd be up to the ones defining those particular alt modes to fix.

Thank you! Will have a look.
Possibly one business will come into being: quit-Facebook coaching. Probably won't be as big an industry as smoke-quitting or Alcoholics Anonymous but might still be profitable.
That's incorrect. It was HDMI that carried a DVI signal.
I believe the standard approach for misuse of such logos is to treat them as counterfeit goods (e.g. fake Gucci bags) which has an established process of seizing the goods at customs or distributor's warehouses and often destroying them. There's no need to sue the overseas producer specifically, as any distributor or retailer are also liable; and in general there's no need to sue as a cease&desist (to the local reseller within the reach of any penalty if they don't comply) is generally sufficient.
Societies with reputation economics (aka face) as the main factor, are incredibly wasteful on human resources, bad at crisis management and generally worser at innovating. Let the initial management of the Covid crisis here be a example.

Its one of the established bonus points, that cultures whos mythology in indoctrination praises martyrs (e.g. Jews, Shiites, Christians) prepares its members to stand out even against resistance and thus overcome the various obstacles when it comes to leaving local minima.

Reputation economics historically was a recipe for stagnant societies which succumbed sooner or later to disaster. Every year unchanged is a lucky coin toss.
I am having both products and currently I prefer VMWare. One of the biggest reasons is, that all necessary drivers for Linux inside VMWare are part of the Linux distributions - e.g. CentOS and Fedora run without extra drivers installed.

Parallels brings their own drivers to install, which means not every Linux version is supported, the last time I tried it was lacking drivers for the newer kernels, this seems to have improved somewhat.

VMWare requires a few more clicks to configure with the upside that you have a clear configuration process so little magic is happening in the background - Parallels seems to automatically mount your drives in the VM which often is not what I want it to do.

Also, VMWare supports platforms beyond the Mac, so if you have a mixed environment, you can even move VMs between e.g. Windows and Mac machines.
UK reader here .. I just caught the tail-end of a discussion on housing problems in Cornwall caused by purchasers from wealthier parts of the country buying 2nd homes or pay-to-rent properties. The amount of money changing hands is obscene, but of course it's been going on for years. Then a story like this breaks and it makes you realise the huge inequality apparently accepted as the norm.
Yeah, in my city (Baltimore, MD) Facebook has basically eaten

1. Craigslist (via Marketplace)
2. meetup.com (via Groups)
3. NextDoor (also via Groups - this is probably a local thing because in Baltimore there is a perception that NextDoor and its userbase are racist)
3. The Yellow Pages (via Pages for Local Businesses)

Maybe it's dead as a social platform for cool young people, but ... if we're thinking of doing work on our house, my wife asks for contractor recommendations on the Facebook groups for our neighborhood and HOA. I bought a bike on Marketplace, I'm constantly driving around to get free / cheap kid stuff my wife found on Marketplace.

My wife and I were never "Facebook people" (we met on Reddit), but now we use it a lot just because it seems like Facebook completely owns the social-local space, for young-/middle-aged adults, especially those with kids.
Hard disagree. These are for lack of better word standard discoveries that the high intensity labs discover with pretty much standard methodologies and no Innovations worthy of a Nobel. Of course we have receptors for heat and touch, and of course someone eventually found them. What’s original in that process? This is not RNAi, or CRISPR, or GFP. One of the more underwhelming Nobels in recent times. Somehow worse than superresolution.

You should maybe rethink your attitude and tone, it's needlessly combative and your comments are both pointlessly reductive and unnecessarily critical.
What company size and deployment model would make maintaining this worth it? 50 engineers and daily builds? I know there are much more complex systems in big tech where you would want a lot of control over the CI process. I assume this is for a mid market or even small company.
Somewhat off-topic I guess but is there a way to see an Instagram post without having an account and being logged in?
Honestly, I felt like the ones to start with the condescending tones were the Microsoft devs who kept talking down to Casey about You Don't Understand How Hard This Is, when they also readily admitted they didn't understand the internals very well.
Exactly, you can barely find anything good listed on CL anymore. I hate FB marketplace but use it because that's where the listings are.
> Changing compilers sounds like a hypothetical.

How? It’s happened many times before – in the 90s, most people used the platform compilers; then most projects switched to GCC for {price,stability,features}; Mac developers flirted with things like xlc towards the end of the PowerPC era; lots of people switched to LLVM — many projects have scar tissue from those past transitions still scattered around their code and build scripts!

Moreover, you will certainly be switching to newer versions of the same compiler. Your code might fine now but after the compiler team helpfully identifies additional areas for concern the same code will raise new warnings.
This has been true for quite a while, the stock price keeps going up but it can take quite a while for the break to actually come.

Also, I think what people heavily underestimate with FB and GOOGL is that the majority of their growth is coming from volume, which they are 100% in control of over the short-term.

All they need to do is add another ad to the page, and their revenue goes up. The problem is that, over the long-term, this results in less and less product. With the targeting changes, with the valuable US/young userbase shrinking rapidly (amongst young people, Facebook isn't even in the top five social networks), it is very clear that management are turning all the dials they can now but this can only end one way (I also suspect a lot of the "international growth" is not real).
Why extract mineral resources from a planet that is so deep within Sun gravitational field that you have to expend more energy to get stuff from there than you would to get stuff from Earth surface?

Why do that if you have billions of flying bodies in much more convenient places flying around the Sun waiting to be docked to to extract resources?

I don't know. If your process is not up to the task of preventing people from bulk-disabling warnings, I wouldn't trust the process to adequately inspect warnings that don't prevent shipping.
> I remember as far back as the 1990s TV weathermen would draw a line across a line of moving rain and the computer would predict which town it would get to and when.

The more likely scenario rather than this faux-altruism is that she just wants to get whistleblower status to collect 30% of the settlement Facebook will make with the government.
I have never used Go in anger, only dabbled a bit and watched interestedly from the sidelines. So, my opinion probably isn't worth much. But here it is, anyway: it seems like this way of doing things would lead to a tendency toward messy, confusing domain models where you can't tell from types alone whether 0 or -1 or MIN_INT is a sentinel for "no value", or actually means that value, and possibly find yourself juggling multiple sentinel values for one type in the same scope.

My own cranky opinion is that, in the 21st century, a static type system that can't even reliably distinguish between something and nothing isn't much of a type system at all. Say what you will about dynamic type systems, but it must be acknowledged that they do a much better job of maintaining a firm and logically consistent, if not statically verifiable, grasp of the most basic ontological distinction that the universe has to offer.

There's always the option to wrap the atomic value in a struct of some sort. But, without generics, that's going to feel more like gRPC's awkward, verbose way of doing it than the ML family's Option<T> type. That approach is (mostly) tolerable in a datagram format, because I/O is going to be a hot mess no matter what you do, anyway, but I'd hate to have to do it with the types I'm using in my actual code.

I'm generally fairly disdainful of the, "every language must cargo cult everything functional languages do," thing, but it is interesting to observe that generics and proper algebraic types would cover all of these use cases - and more - cleanly and without having to add a specific language feature to cover each one. Which has me wondering, if the goal of Go was to create a maximally simple and ergonomic imperative language, did they actually achieve that, or did they follow a greedy search into a local maximum?
> Abolish patents as these simply limit free market competition and are a ploy to try to claim ownership on something that usually is one tiny fragment of human knowledge.

Think this one through, what’s the incentive to invent or make a thing of there’s no protection? Because someone wants to?
Just ban entire elements. There's no need to include fluorine in any consumer packaging or in any products that can leach into the environment.

Just whitelist certain chemicals and uses eg. toothpaste fluorides.
What do you expect me to say in response? You've stated that your opinion is the only realistic appraisal of the situation. That implies we don't merely disagree in our intepretation of events, but that you understand reality and I am deluded. We can't have a polite disagreement among equals because "reality" is on your side and not mine. Why would I bother to talk to someone who thinks like that?
If Facebook is dying because it is becoming irrelevant why are we all talking about?
the smoking / nicotine analogy is incredibly apt:

* addictive

* network / peer pressure effects

* damaging (but insidiously only after long cumulative use)

* poorly regulated even after the negative externalities became known

* less developed (and even less regulated) markets the final "growth" act of the industry

We can thus extrapolate that usage will only stop when governments start actively warning people (instead of tacitly approving and bankrolling with gratuitous advertisement when they maintain presence on the platforms and invite their citizens to engage there)

Can we push the analogy towards a solution / better social media? There are various proto-alternatives in the fediverse space. But some look suspiciously like E-cigarettes. Maybe the only cure from (at least this type) of social networks is to just pull the plug. As long as the billions keep pouring in and financing this sick business model we'll never really have a proper exploration of possible healthy alternatives to online social media
> it seems to me like the stock price should be a good indicator of this?

Successful value investors like Warren Buffet have proven time and again that the stock price is often wrong. They are so rich only because others are so often so wrong (paraphrased from Charlie Munger).
Is Facebook (the company and the social media platform) the masses or the Princeton graduates? You could say that it shares content generated by the masses, but arguably so does the New York Times every time it quotes someone to support a story. And these papers suggest what Facebook does to a person's wall looks a lot more like editorializing than laissez-faire regurgitation of community-generated content.
I've quit Facebook on Jan 2017. Since then, I returned FB using an old dummy account for development and testing, and while I was doing that I was checking most of my relatives, friends pages, all almost dead, no postings since 2018 most of them. It's like all the activity switched to Instagram.
You make it sound like this only happens on the democratic side. Republicans have similar echo chambers.

I think conformity happens within circles. Then it's a question how big the circle is.

I agree with your main concern though, online vs real life credit systems.
The difference between 2 and 3 is way smaller than people make it out to be. I migrated a large Python 2.7 project to Python 3.8 and it wasn't a particularly painful experience. I feel that way more effort should have been directed at making 2 and 3 compatible.
> If you still feel uncomfortable having another person next to you while you write code, it might be because you aren’t particularly happy with your own code, or the process that you follow in order to achieve some result.

Or the process of constant all-day interaction with another person is just personally draining for you because you're introverted / have social anxiety, or because you have to juggle multiple responsibilities inside & outside of work and don't want the scheduling or social overhead to manage the back-and-forth, or for any of a plethora of reasons besides "something about your process is flawed".

This sounds a lot like "if you have nothing to hide you don't need privacy" argument. Some people just hate pairing because it doesn't jibe with their personality or work style.

Draft PRs + a culture of continuous reviews accomplishes much of this without taxing people who hate pairing.
> The proper way to fix warnings is to keep them as warnings and have it on the team to make sure they don't get out of hand.

"Proper"... no, warnings just scroll by and are forgotten. Error stop the build and make you keep the number of them at zero.

If you allow any warnings, they will increase according to the tolerance of the most lax person on your team. And you will never spend the time on the technical debt to clean them. You are accepting an increasing number of things wrong with your codebase that you will never investigate nor regain control of.
Yeah, FB market is infuriating to use. I have no senes for whether my search is giving me "real" results or filtered results that FB wants me to see. I assume the latter. It doesn't easily allow nationwide searches. Its auto search is a hacked together steaming pile. Craigslist is/was so much easier to use, particularly with some of the aggregator sites allowing nationwide searches.
It's boring. Every week there is a post with a title of this form. It's as if mindless bots were writing the titles, not creative humans.
