Just a few I was able to dig up who made me laugh a lot.

I guess it depends what you like, but the art form has been really sharpened over the last 10-20 years, to the point where, similar to film, the majority of the content out there conforms to a style that everyone seems to agree is good.

In comedy, that style is confessional, tagged storytelling with interwoven callbacks. If you don’t like that, yeah, you probably don’t like modern comedy.
> Microsoft has undoubtedly created untold value for developers and their shareholders with WSL.

If there is a larger purpose around WSL, VS Code, and "MS <3 Linux" messaging, it is definitely this. They have really changed their reputation among developers.

A fair and well-reasoned article. Fair or not, Facebook's reputation means their actions are perceived as negative and sinister even when there is good reason for them.

At this point I really think Zuckerberg needs to step away from the company and allow them space to try to reclaim public perception and goodwill. I don't see another way forward.

The above shows the 400 or so things built on top of solano. I would expect for most projects to not be very useful to the masses and likely most will fail. Which isn't different at all to the typical startup scene.

I consider most of it garbage, and I would expect you to conclude the same. Which is fine. The only counter point I have is to not dismiss the entire space as a whole. Things are moving very fast, and some concepts are intellectually interesting, just poorly executed.

For example, NFTs are considered the most ridiculous thing ever now, but that doesn't mean they will be in this state forever. The next-gen NFT containing the actual art, copyright integration, and smart contract integration are a matter of time.

Imagine a photographer, currently sharing photos to stock services for pennies, with zero control over terms. Middle men milking them dry. With a fully integrated NFT chain, the photographer can claim and prove ownership and dictate terms. They can decide to sell 10 copies, and dictate that if they are resold, the photographer gets a 20% royalty. The photographer can make higher-end versions available, at higher resolution, wider color gamut and ask more for that version. This independent and advanced type of reselling is hardly possible traditionally. And importantly, 100% of the revenue goes to the creator.

NFTs can be entirely interactive, and can be anything. A photo, a song, a 3D model, a plot of land in a game.

Imagine being an amateur talented 3D model builder right now, and Hollywood directly buying your model. Which is something that won't happen right now because of B2B contracts and the complexities of dealing with small vendors. Soon it's just the click of a button, done. The possibilities of making a "digital living" will drastically expand.

Outside of objects having serious undisputed value (like 3D models), you may think nobody cares if you "own" the rights to a JPG. One can trivially copy it after all. This attitude, that all digital content is worthless and frankly has no owner, is curious. Even more so in a society almost fully digital.

Take Instagram, for example. Instagram takes everybody's photos for free and intermixes it with ads. Facebook gets 100% of the revenue and personal data, and you as the person actually creating the photo gets...fuck all. A 100% tax. In return you get "likes" or "exposure". Instagram may change terms at will, bury your photos in favor of video, or simply deplatform you.

I find this contradiction interesting. The Hackernews community rightfully challenges Big Tech on a daily basis yet refuses to spend a single thought cycle on the only concept that has the potential to break it down. Which is not regulation, it's the opposite: decentralization. Returning power and ownership to users.
Only because currently ML is more alchemy than engineering. We mix stuff until we make gold while we can't explain why more parameters generalize better instead of overfitting.
I don't believe utility is the driving force of gold as a store of value and if anything I would say it competes with it. I can assure you that most of the gold reserves in the world aren't holding gold with the future intent of having its value tied to its usage in circuits or beauty products, they're using it as a store of value. Being a store of value has utility in itself so again I implore you to look at arguments from someone who has studied Bitcoin a lot more extensively than I have and can give more hard data and context to the usage of similar commodities for comparison (i.e. the author of The Bitcoin Standard)

What conspiracy? They are limiting it due to known side effects based on reported cases. There is absolutely no conspiracy here. The benefit of also using Moderna when other vaccines are available simply isn’t as high now that we are reaching higher vaccination rates.
Most cities have comedy clubs; don't go to those. Go to the bars that do weekly standup, those are the places the comedy show folks go to try out new material, or where newer folks try to break into the scene. You get exposed to a lot of things that would never be allowed on any sort of broadcast medium, and are often uproariously funny.

This is kind of a long story but the short version is that the tooling isn't yet able to differentiate between dependencies which are packaged and deployed with your application vs dependencies which are only used in the build process. The canonical example seems to be regex DOS vulns reported in a test library. What does an "exploit" look like? One of my colleagues writes a bad regex in a test, now the test suite takes an offensively long amount of time to finish. That's not a vulnerability, that's a broken build. Even if they bypassed the automated tests and forced a deployment to production the offending regex would not be included.
I think the problem with this argument is that Facebook isn't "just" a store. For many people, it can't be avoided. Businesses rely on facebook for advertisement, creating business pages, running promotions, offering support, and engaging with customers/users.

People rely on facebook for access to sometimes critical resources (think about how many emergency relief efforts require you to use facebook). Marketplace, etc. Identity management.

Being banned from facebook isn't like being banned from any one store, it's increasingly becoming more like losing access to your identification, payment information, bank card, or passport.

For companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google which are becoming so completely integrated with the fabric of society, governments should regulate how and when they can restrict access.
It's worth noting that chess grandmasters can burn up to 6000 calories per day while competing in tournaments. It's an absolutely exhausting endeavor, and I imagine sheer endurance can play a huge role.

My understanding was that increased alcohol intake raises hormone levels, especially cortisol, which raises blood pressure/breathing/etc and keeps you from dying. Also note the jitters experienced as the alcohol is metabolized and things swing out of balance in the opposite direction.

So it would just be a matter of training your adrenals to recognize and react quickly to the incoming booze, which for some people is almost like a violent allergic reaction to a bee sting, causing them to drink heavily in order to calm down. I don't really have any research to back this part up though.

It is easy however to become dependent on this affirmations (and hence other people and their sometimes fickle approval).

when people find themselves in this type of situation, sometimes they lash out, or try to be controlling/manipulative when they stop getting them, instead of being self reflective and figuring out why and addressing. Sometimes there IS nothing that can do
to address it - a bogus accusation from someone else, or affirmations built on some material wealth that disappeared, or whatever.

Many people believe the affirmations they see are genuine, but when tested they turn out not to be.

It’s also easy for it to be a kind of hedonic treadmill, with someone chasing ever strong and strong affirmations to make up for a pain or fear that won’t go away, and is not faced, overdoing what you are describing to the point it is hostile and toxic.

If you look in the media, these patterns are very, very visible.

And inevitably, for any number of reasons, the affirmations will stop or reduce in number or impact - even if just due to normal variation - even if 100% genuine and healthy. Kids go to college, or partners drift apart, or everyone gets so used to it they stop noticing.

Some of the discussion from others above can be helpful here, as being ok just ‘being’ is a much more stable place, and requires only that which the person themself has (somewhat) control over - themselves.

IceWM 2.8 window manager released
I think you're not seeing it mentioned here because this is comparing apples to oranges. Node is not a web development platform, it literally IS only a runtime.

Rather than comparing with Django or Rails, one should instead compare it to Python and Ruby. There are several server side web framework for NodeJS also (Meteor, Sails, Express).

It's possible you may have confused Node with Express, as I see that happening very frequently, but Node is used for all sorts of other workloads like desktop apps, microservices, and other general computing tasks.

In many ways it’s akin to the reason why SLAs don’t mean shit when they’re business to business. Anybody who breaks even in using a tool doesn’t stay in business for long. They use a tool because the tool -all of the tools - plus the labor costs them a dollar for every 10 they can gross. Your $1000 a month service can hold up or straight up lose $50,000 in revenue, so don’t be surprised if I’m not that happy about you offering to cut us a check for $250 when your stuff shit the bed two days before a hard deadline.

We want the money back guarantee because we think the specter of you making no money will motivate you not to fuck us over. Your guarantees mean next to nothing, and the manpower involved in getting and cashing that check might eat most of it up anyway.
In Mexico, there's also the fact that soda is often the most easily available source of clean water. When I was in rural Chiapas and Guatemala ca 1992, I think I drank very little that wasn't soda during that time.¹

I personally don’t think that it would be. I also have very little problem with Apple’s current stance on IAP and _who_ actually owns the customer relationship. (Quibbles can be made about percentages. If 30% is too high for Apple, maybe we should be taking a much closer look at a _lot_ of retailer relationships.)

However, the same people who say that it’s anticompetitive for Apple to control the payment flow are likely to say that _any_ impingement of Apple on the customer relationship is anticompetitive. These are the people who don’t actually _care_ about the customer relationship, like the NYTimes subscription department, or the companies that bank on customers forgetting to cancel their subscription for months at a time or not wanting to spend time on the phone to fight over a $1.29/month subscription fee.

IMO, antitrust/anticompetition investigations tend to be _far_ too limited in their scope (they look only at one or two aspects and not the big picture of what's happening). I remember a few years ago when Apple had worked with publishers to establish a new standard ebook contract for publishers and marketplaces. It was one that would have (slightly) raised the prices of ebooks, but replaced the unilaterally imposed contract that Amazon provided. Apple got in trouble over it, even the result would have been a _better_ and more _competitive_ marketplace and not one controlled by Amazon.

I have opinions on what should be done with the app stores that would _probably_ fix a lot of the issues, but any changes to the app stores need to look at whether it would be a _better_ situation for customers or just a more lucrative situation for publishers. And the customer impact would not just be measured on “choice”, but on overall price/privacy impact.

Measured by that, there’s no question in my mind that Apple’s doing a better job than people give them credit for.

> they're being fired for negligible benefit

You are only measuring "benefit" to the individual. They're mandated to do something with zero cost and minimal risk. And it comes with massive benefit to the group and to the public as a whole.

They're being mandated because there is a huge cost to infection. The Canadian government pays an average of $23,000 for every person that gets hospitalized by COVID. [0] Roughly 5% of those infected require hospitalization. And we have already seen numerous people blocked from timely access to healthcare due to hospitals being filled with COVID patients.

It's good public policy to require vaccination. Providing incentive to get infected is a really bad idea because it will result in healthcare resources being massively oversubscribed. Besides, infection-acquired immunity is not permanent. The virus mutates and it is likely that additional vaccination will eventually be required for subsequent variants.

> An Apple user has no right to compel a developer to transact with Apple on unfavorable terms, and is therefore not entitled to the "choice" that you are describing.

I am not talking about a customer's right to compel a developer to choose private and safe methods for payment. I am talking about leverage in a free marketplace. It's not that you don't have the right... you don't even have the weight as an individual customer to step into a negotiating room for a conversation. Apple does.

I am also far more sympathetic to consumer protection than whether companies should be able to choose Stripe or manage your financial information for their business benefit. This is the "unfavorable terms" you're talking about.

> Depending on how the antitrust situation is resolved, Apple may be able to require developers to offer Apple Pay, yet still allow developers to offer other payment options alongside it.

If this is the case then the conversation will be moot. But this is speculative, so I am arguing for the other side of your forward-looking statement.

It's probably closer to "a more modern, better C" than "an easier Rust".

The core features of Rust are the borrow checker, traits, and algebraic data types, and Zig is missing all of those. On the other hand, Zig has a lot of things that C doesn't have, and a few that Rust doesn't have as well - and some people gravitate towards the C-like simplicity of the language.
