What does Meta actually do? They seem to have removed everything from their social media and websites the except for the press release, and it's extremely difficult to Google around for something like "meta company" even if you ignore facebook-related results. Trademark infringement requires operating in a similar market, and while Facebook has plenty of marks they don't have all of them. It looks like they really just wanted the websites and namespace, and it truly boggles my mind that they didn't try to register the website first.

Meta is very effectively controlling this narrative, and they're definitely in the right to raise an issue about the harassment and bullying and generally getting legally steam rolled, making an actual trademark infringement cast will be a separate story
Drawing a Volute
Anecdotally if I’m collaborating/helping a newer programmer with python, I can tell if they are using and have only used PyCharm. PyCharm users never seem to understand virtualenvs or requirements.txt. Collaboration with pycharm users at that level always gets frustrating as they seem to routinely fail to update requirements.txt - as their setup isn’t using it and it isn’t easy for them to do
>>hat goes beyond the desktop of the 80ies and 90ies.

Which seems for both gnome, and now windows even means "Lets look at what Apple is doing and copy them"

I hate Mac OS, I do not want to use a Mac, if I did I would buy a Mac. The fact that gnome wants to mirror their style and function to that of Apple is the problem I (and MANY MANY MANY others) have and they do not see to have any desire to change.

>Nowhere in this thread was this expressed.

It has been expressed mutiple points in this thread, and is the over arching implication in "why dont you just contribute to make gnome better"

The reason is because "better" is subjective and subjectively people like the popos devs that are making their own DE's and others that have walked away from gnome feel gnome is worse, not better, and the people that control gnome have no interest in making it "better" for users like me.
This is highly dependent on where you work
If providing a decent life to a hard working, aspirational individual whose work ethic and talent would have been pissed up the wall back at home counts as "developing off the back" of poorer nations, then I don't really see it as a bad thing at all.

Don't forget that many developing countries have a wide array of policies in place to ensure that they can't make proper use of their human capital.

My father-in-law, for example, is an environmental scientist who simply couldn't find work in his field (public sector) back in South Africa in the early 00s as there were racial quotas and affirmative action policies that didn't work in his favour.

He was offered a job in NZ, after a solid year of being unemployed, and jumped ship immediately. His talent wasn't stolen by the developed world so much as it wasted by his underdeveloped home.
In my opinion as a working web developer, ES modules are half-backed, deceptively simple, do not solve problems consistently and are not built on hard acquired wisdom from other languages.

1) JavaScript could have simply stolen an already good solution. For example namespaces (ex: Clojure/Script, Typescript, even PHP to some degree) provide a powerful mechanism to modularize names - by disentangling them from loading code. They make it straight forward to avoid collisions and verbose (noisy) names. In Clojure namespaces are first class and meant to be globally unique. This implies long-term robustness.

2) Loading modules dynamically should be the _default_. The whole point of JavaScript is that it is a dynamic language. The caveats, hoops and traps that we have to sidestep to for example run a working, real REPL during development is astounding. If you want to be dynamic, go _all_ the way and understand what that means. Yes, it's a tradeoff to be a dynamic language, but why take the worst of both worlds?

3) Like 'async/await', 'class' and many browser features such as IndexedDB it is neither designed from first principles nor fully based on past wisdom. Many things in the JS world smell of "lowest common denominator". Way too much effort is focused on the convenience side of things and way too little on the leverage side.
> "we need our own HMI to differentiate our integrated product offering"

I don't think it's so much about differentiating. It's about funneling resources towards innovation. Some distros have become pretty conservative over time. Don't get me wrong, i like that my distro doesn't just apply thousands of random patches introducing subtle bugs.

But at the same time, System76's PopOS appears to be among the few spiritual descendants of Mandriva's user-friendliness: if these few corporations who have a few bucks to spare are not investing in bettering the desktop experience, who will?

I'm personally unconvinced by current desktop environments: they're either too complex/opinionated and ridden with bugs (GNOME/KDE) or too minimal and not packaged with user-friendly apps (i3/openbox). Those that aim for the sweet spot in the middle usually don't have enough resources to iron out all the bugs (MATE/Cinnamon/Budgie/LxQt...), and rustc compiler is pretty good at ironing out all the bugs you write before they end up in a "usable" binary.

I find KDE fully featured and lightweight enough on every modern laptop and desktop I’ve used in the last decade. I haven’t had a reason to switch from KDE, it’s like a much better Windows GUI.

> That should be the phone's job, not the SIM card. [internal operations]

Maybe, but what would inevitably happen is for network operators to demand that only certified devices, or maybe basebands, be allowed on their networks.

SIMs are a big reason of GSMs (and its successors') success: Having a trusted computing device to allow for key management and a few other things inside an otherwise untrusted/sandboxed phone was the compromise.

I'm all for making the interfaces used less opaque and less prone to be used for shady purposes, but the concept of SIM cards is a net win for everyone, in my opinion.

> That should be the phone's job, not the SIM card. [applications]

If you have a smartphone, it is. Many people still don't own one.

USSD is an alternative and is starting to be deployed in many markets previously using SAT, but it seems much more cumbersome to use and is less secure too (no trusted client side storage and tied to the security of the underlying transport protocols).
Even the mainstream 2d engines like game maker provide a lot more than just physics and graphics.
So much for "my body, my choice" (a phrase which has been stolen and twisted by people opposing the vaccines).

Twisted how. It's exactly the same argument, identical in every way, to the one used for years by abortion supporters. It was seen as noble and obvious correct back then by the same people who deem it to be beyond the pale now. It's obvious they have no internal consistency.
Maybe. However tryptophan by itself won't heal you once the pathology onset has occurred.

The usual scheme is to use a combination of medications in order to unblock the electron transport chain while inhibiting the inflammatory response.

Nutritional correction is obligatory: totally no alcohol, minimize high carbs (< 50 g of sugar per day), totally avoid sweeteners (with the exception of stevia), avoid highly-processed food. Milk and meat are god send for people in that condition. Avoid the prolonged periods of hunger but be careful to not eat too much. Having a slightest sense of hunger after the meal is beneficial. Make at least 2 hour intervals between meals.
This is more than just a new desktop environment. This is a new windowing system. This isn't like replacing KDE or Gnome. It's like replacing gtk or qt (though of course qt and gtk apps will run under this environment I'm sure). Considering how opinionated and integrate qt and gnome have become as of late, I applaud that move. I prefer Pantheon myself, but think that the built in "desktop" should be separate from the standard library various apps run in (for several reasons). Let a thousand flowers bloom indeed.
People with arachnophobia should remember that 95% of the extant spiders are totally unable to pierce the human skin. Fangs too weak or short to reach blood capillaries and made any real damage, even if they would be poisonous doesn't matter. Those that coevolved with spider-eating monkeys are the problematic ones.
Speech still has liability for example libel. But in this case I would agree that the person that published the code on the blockchain has liability. Which is why I included both occurrences in my post.
It's totally different. Browsers are by nature standards-based, and chrome certainly isn't the only browser with significant usage.

10 years from now, if you have built your site according to WC3 standards, theoretically it should just work on every browser out there.

If Unity goes out of business, and their editor is no longer available, good luck getting your unity project to build in another environment.

Don’t care
As someone who is disabled with a mitochondrial disease (Complex 1 Deficiency) that expresses as a mood disorder (which includes the anxiety they speak of in the article) and ME/CFS, I feel sure enough to posit that the cause of all the symptoms from covid are brought about by an individuals ability to handle oxidative stress. This increase in oxidative stress is most likely the result of a combination of genetics and vitamin depletion after infection.

Through years of living with my disorder I have found that any stress (environmental, psychological, physical) leads to a build up in oxidative stress in the mitochondria, triggering either mania or profound fatigue, pain and depression. Through shaping my environment and the use of specific supplements I am able to mostly control my mood and health without the use of daily medications.

Until we talk seriously about nutrition and stress, people will keep dying of COVID19, and they will never be free of medications that help in the short term but have bad/unknown effects in the long term.

It’s a TKI, yes, most frequently used in cancers, yes. However, lots of cancer medications are used in all kinds of immune/inflammatory/autoimmune diseases. Nobody in their right mind will write gleevec just for reflux, but steroids and xolair would be inappropriate for that too. On gleevec your kidney function would need to be monitored weekly at first, etc. Even if it’s appears safe for you and helps you - it’s just not worth the headache and risk just for reflux alone.

Usually it would be used in a context of some form of systemic mast cell disease, mcas or mastocytosis etc, with multiple systemic issues and insufficient response to anti-mediator therapy, which are basically h1 or h2 blockers plus aspirin, plus/minus singlulair and possibly Xolair. in addition to allergic/inflammatory-like issues such patients have all kinde of other problems, bone density loss, neuropathies, etc etc.

Some drs prefer low dose gleevec before giving chronic systemic steroids, but that seems to be a rather small minority (I only know of 2 in the US). The justification would be that instead of taking massive doses of mutilple drugs daily for life, instead you take a low dose of single agent that fixes all the problems. Seems to work for some people, and maybe in some carefully selected patients drugs like gleevec would eventually become first line agents. There are a couple of genetics groups that are working on elucidating exact pathways that seem to be disregulated, and once there is some clarity there, potentially cleaner, better targeted TKIs can be developed.

If something gives significant reflux - I’d personally avoid the trigger, or if that’s not possible, then maybe 20-40-80mg famotidine.

Allergy is funny like that. Millions walk around with undiagnosed milk allergy, and have a constantly congested or slightly runny nose, commonly attributed to anything but allergy. In reality it has often nothing to do with pollen or colds at all, and magically goes away as soon as anything milk/cheese/butter-related is eliminated.

I just feel reflux seems to be under appreciated by most allergists, who tend to rely too much on skin prick tests, and discount symptoms “oh everyone has reflux etc”, and don’t investigate history well enough either. Basically a cookie cutter approach.

It maybe indeed moot from the treatment perspective, of course, because either dx will result in “just take famotidine”, but chronic allergic inflammation significantly elevates risks of osteoporosis, arthritis, etc, which I would think an informed patient would like to be aware of. H1/H2 blockers are mostly symptomatic treatment, and probably don’t lower risks of long term complications by much.

Allergy sadly remains a voodoo science.

It is almost scary to me how many people here think that by knowing how to run a compiler from a command line, they now know how a computer works.
SPECK is a really attractive design for software implementation. The key schedule and the round function are the same, it's an ARX design that lends itself to naturally constant-time implementation. If the design is free of fault and it gets thrown out because of its origin and admittedly questionable public analysis statements, that's rather unfortunate. Alas, it's hard to trust given the backstory, but on the other hand the author(s) might be relying entirely on cryptanalytic techniques and results they're not able to publish for whatever reason.
How is JQ outdated?
This thread and summary are written by someone who has no clue what they're doing in ECMAScript; and who's probably enjoying the fucked up mess that the babel ecosystem created. I'm not gonna dig into that, because reading any polyfill in babel's ecosystem speaks for themselves on how messy, hacky, and actually not working-as-specified most parts are.

Instead I'm gonna try to go back to the topic.

I think that in practice these are my pain points in using ESM regularly without any build tool. I'm using ESM modules both in node.js and in the Web Browser via <script type module>:

- package.json/exports "hack" works only in node.js and not in the Browser as there's also no equivalent API available. This hack allows to namespace entry points for your library, so that you can use "import foo from 'bar/qux';" without having to use "../../../" fatigued paths everywhere (that also might be different in the Browser compared to the nodejs entry points).

- "export * from '...';" is kind of necessary all the time in "index" files, but has a different behaviour than expected because it will import variable names. So export * from something won't work if the same variable name was exported by different files; and the last file usually wins (or it throws a SyntaxError, depending on the runtime).

- Something like "import { * as something_else, named as foobar } from 'foo/bar';" would be the killer feature, as it would solve so many quirks of having to rename variables all the time. Default exports and named exports behave very differently in what they assign/"destruct", and this syntax would help fix those redundant imports everywhere.

- "export already_imported_variable;" - why the HECK is this not in the specification? Having to declare new variable names for exports makes the creation of "index" files so damn painful. This syntax could fix this.
You don't really need to track your intake perpetually as I see it. But measure you weight weekly. Same time and day to better account for water/food/etc.

If your weight is not going down then try to eat somewhat less. Maybe skip a side or order a salad instead of fries or get 1% milk with your coffee. Or cut a potato from your dinner if you're cooking.

That said, tracking for a while is good to figure out what you can cut since you may not realize how much you eat (snacks, night snacks, soda, etc.).

In my case I stopped eating those free chips at work and stopped drinking a can of coke with lunch. I also tried to avoid large dinners but just large enough ones that I wouldn't go to sleep feeling hungry.
NFT is a money laundry device. Also totally destructive to the environment. It should be prohibited, not called an art...
You should take a look at LoginID: https://loginid.io/

The idea of using QR codes is interesting too. The downside of WebAuthn is that the credentials generated by Touch ID/Face ID are associated with a single device. If you want to log in from somewhere else, it doesn't work.

You could, however, use your QR code idea to have the user scan it from their enrolled device (e.g., phone) and then log them in.
So many commenters relating widely varying experiences and then arguing about it…

As Tokyo is massive in land area and population, and as visitors (us) are all unique, each expertise and feeling about “the people in Tokyo” is likely to be different.

It makes no sense to argue about different experiences.
I see, so a front end thing indeed :) (and yes deno, which I feel the main purpose is to bring the problems and debates of the front end devs, in an otherwise much saner js backend end world ^^ )
Yes, it's much slower pre-http2 since no modern browser actually does pipelining, so it's going to be a socket per file

HTTP2 fixes this by allowing multiple requests to occur in parallel on a single connection.

> Life dies out if it over-consumes from its environment, so "by evolution" the life that survives _does_ "restrain itself for the next generation" in a sense.

Dawkins deconstructs this argument in The Selfish Gene. Basically, if you restrain yourself, you put your competitors in advantageous position to consume these resources. They will have more children and their non-restraining genes will win.

We have seen ecosystems destroyed by unchecked invasive species - this is especially visible for islands due to their limited biodiversity. Even reindeers introduced on island without natural predators ate everything until they died out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Matthew_Island
I think it's a good but it feels like an ever-unstated fact. We just keep quiet about that we do what we want to do, maybe what's fun, and find other ways to argue for it.
Memory leaks are not uncommon on GNOME, and i assume on other desktops as well. But Rust is not just good for preventing memory bugs: strong typing prevents lots of logic bugs as well.

Also, rust's "fearless refactoring" paradigm enables for incremental optimization which i've found much harder to deal with in other programming languages. I think that's a point worth considering for a big piece of engineering like a desktop environment.

EDIT: Also memory bugs are not just "memory leaks". There's plenty of subtle bugs introduced by off-by-one errors and undefined behavior. Just because memory usage doesn't rise unexpectedly doesn't mean software is working as intending. I don't know about you but i personally have had weird bugs with all desktops i've tried so far.
>They soak the cut potatoes in running water for 5 hours before frying them in peanut oil with a special double dip method to give a good consistency of fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside.

FWIW, this is standard procedure for pretty much any place that makes their own fries on location. It might be a step up from most big chains that use frozen fries, but there's probably dozens of small eateries in any decent sized town that do the same.
This does depend on where you are. I think that in the US master's degrees are different that they are in other many places. It also depends a lot on the master's degree. Some degrees are just more school. Some are a little school with new and innovative research.

> Having absolute pitch means you don’t have work quite as hard to translate those ideas onto your instrument (it’s still work though).

I'm puzzled by this though. I play piano (mainly). I don't have 'ideas' then 'translate' them onto my instrument. I hear something (in my head) and play it, as one. It's like breathing. Nothing like 'work', let alone hard work. Also, for me, to hear music, notes and chords, I just know what the notes and chords are as I hear them (most of the time, unless they're super-super-weird chords, or it's very fast or something), like I dont hear a chord and work out that its say C7#11, I just hear a C7#11 chord. And see it being played on a keyboard in my mind's eye.
