The way we use airsend (https://www.airsend.io) as team space (group the channels to team) and separate channels for high activity topics/projects. We don’t need to hop different servers (discord) to get the information and context. For instance, we have an austin astronomy channel in airsend (just one channel. Instead of creating multiple channels). Encourages high fidelity, contextual information in the same channel space (chat, voice/video calls, files, actions and wiki). Airsend solves quite a few valid discord criticisms described here.
Having an on-chain professional profile that is part of your (web3) identity does make sense to me. People are already willing to share their Linkedin profile with the world, why not replicate that in a system that is user-owner vs. Microsoft owned.
But this means if you have a situation like

if (a) { ... }
...
if (b) { ... }

Where the branches are long, and b = !a, you significantly overestimate the amount of code. I guess that was considered good enough, then?
Yeah NIVEA body milk is in trouble.
Touchscreens in Cars are a prime example of copying someone else's solution to the wrong problem. Smartphones and Tablets have touchscreens because you are looking at the device when operating it - in contrast to cars, where you are supposed not to look at the control while using it but keep your eyes on the street.

I'm not sure exactly what constitutes a 'severe language impairment'; there are lots of aphasias out there that only affect very specific parts of the whole language/writing system in the brain. They could be comprehend normally, but have trouble producing (on some level) speech or vice versa. If could comprehend spoken language without difficult, they could 'easily' complete tasks that didn't require those neural connections. Without knowing what the specific symptoms were, this is kind of a moot point.
> Honestly do we really need cryptocurrency?

This is a fundamentally unfair question. People waste lots of resources on things I don't think we need. There is a powerful principle in modern economies that if people have money then they don't need to justify what they think is a good idea to you, me, the government or anyone else unless there are compelling reasons to.

"Do you need this?" isn't a question that is asked anywhere except when there is measurable harm. Mining bitcoins doesn't cause measurable harm. If it does, then that is an argument that we shut down the electricity grid - a different debate.

We may as well ban half the technology we have. People don't need any of it.
This seems like the games and aptitude tests that some employers make you complete near the start of the process. There is a difference, currently most tests are critical thinking tests or personality quizes that may not match up to the skills you need for the given job. But the important difference is one of test design, not whether it is on the blockchain or not.
The thread really jumped the shark when the author shared a “glimpse of the future” and cited an example of some organization that doesn’t appear to exist, and some project the author made. This idea is so bad for so many reasons that others in the thread have already outlined.
> is there a good reason for this?

Multitasking.

User can easily alt+tab into another program which also uses GPU. When many processes are using GPU concurrently, it's possible their combined VRAM use exceeds the amount of physical memory available on the GPU.
To be fair, I hate to be distracted by screens even while driving. Even if the car could drive itself with 100% safety while I was operating the device, being forced to look at a screen for a long while just to find the equivalent of a physical switch (or, in the future, to watch a movie?) leaves me a bad taste.

The dashboard of a Tesla is covered with unused surface, so it makes very little sense to put no physical commands on it, and then over-fill a tablet UI with those in the strangest places. The "big tablet" trend just sounds like an interface for digital addicts.

On the other hand, Mazda's infotainment systems (https://m.faz.net/media1/ppmedia/aktuell/technik-motor/27493...) fix at least part of this, which makes me guess what my next car will be.
"free to leave" isn't really an excuse for tyranny is it?

The legality of the sign is derived from the fact that it's on private property, from which the owner has a right to expel anyone for any reason. Violating the rules of the sign is simply grounds for expulsion from said property, not criminal consequences. That's the difference between a rule and a law.
Several reasons:

- It's a separate interface with a different attack surface than your system, so compared to a locked-down version of the normal syscall API, it provides better defense-in-depth.

- It's designed to be a fully self-contained sandbox, by default. If you're locking down everything but reading and writing previously opened file descriptors, you can build a secure sandbox atop syscalls fairly easily. If you need more nuance than that, WebAssembly seems more likely to remain secure, while syscall sandboxes seem more likely to fail-insecure if you get a detail wrong.

- It seems easier to sandbox otherwise-unmodified code that way. If you have code that needs some access to system resources, I think WebAssembly makes it easier to give it just what it needs and nothing else.

(Also, note that I'm not talking about running in a browser; I'm talking about standalone WebAssembly runtimes like wasmtime.)
How isn't Wikipedia considered a publisher? I can understand that Twitter or Facebook or Youtube not be one. But Wikipedia? It is clearly publishing. And there are community editors. It is not social media.
> we don't do this now because we simply do not care enough as an industry. we want the software written immediately and for as little money as possible.

It's not about "as little money as possible" it's about priorities. Above, someone mentioned spending 2 months individually packing structures for a game to reduce memory to fit. Given the choice between having a developer spend 2 months on that or a developer spend 2 months localising the game, or adding accessibility options the choice today is features.

> "Breaking" is undefinable. I remember reading about some user complaining that a small bugfix broke their work setup because it fixed a bug that used to make the CPU go 100% when the spacebar was held. The user would hold it with a weight and get the CPU to make heat that way. The small fix broke his experience.

You confused XKCD with reality: <https://xkcd.com/1172/>
The argument that because we can't fix everything, or the bigger things, we shouldn't fix anything has never been a good one. Making positive choices, however individually small, does wonders at collective scale. These types of things can change markets and lead to much larger changes.

Maybe think about your work moments a little more before writing them. Don't you consider that what you're doing is creating NOISE?
I think the biggest thing about car touchscreens is that they have historically sucked. They have always been a place to do vendor locking or a geewhiz upgrade. I don't think the touch screen approach is inherently flawed but in a world where you build a working car without one and then add it as an extra trim feature the experience is always going to be bad.

I actually think the Tesla touchscreen approach works fairly well especially when coupled with the level of automation they tie into it. Turning your wipers on by touch screen inst great, but if you just automate turning on the wipers as needed it doesn't matter.

It also eliminates the where is x control game you end up playing in some cars. You either find it via the UI or open the manual in the same place.

The mistake people make when they grow discord channels is trying to preemptively create channels for situations where they don't yet have the volume to utilize. Creating channels should almost always be reactionary, not proactive, in my opinion.

Look I like mechanical keyboards and editor setups as well, but let's not pretend it's this great panacea. It just feels nicer.
Standards come about to address compatibility problems, and standards bodies are committees where reps of divergent implementations settle on compromises (or sufficiently vague langugage) to get some compatibility. Python, Clojure, C# etc don't need standards since there haven't been problems wtith competing incompatible variants of the languages out there.

Correct: the technology I know (Epson) has the "augmentational" displays work as a "distant focus screen" (as opposed to a "near the eyes" object - beyond that threshold of proximity that has the eyes radically change focus for, say, reading an handheld). So, while you will as usual change the eye focus according to distance (one arm distant, three, ten, thirty etc.) within the distant objects, the virtual screen will be a closer distant object (say, one arm distant).

The environment is distant, the virtual screen (the "augmentational" information) is still distant - no "reading glasses" involved. If one requires lenses for sharp vision of distant objects (for myopia), they will be equally required for reading data in the virtual screen.

> That sums up everything to do with NFTs for me. The smell remains rotten and I will, again, run away and fast.

NFTs are just a way to represent something unique on a blockchain. The smell comes from the pixel art NFTs.

Your position on a uniswap v3 pair is represented as an NFT (no pixels associated), while v2 used ERC20 tokens (fungible)

Suppose you own a car rental. You can represent the available cars as NFTs and use a blockchain to make reservations and payments
Using cash is fine, but what if you need to use digital payments? Then you need to rely on third parties (VISA, PayPal, Stripe etc) who will of course charge fees from your business, or completely block you.

For instance, there are tons of stories of PayPal randomly pulling the rug under legitimate businesses, and destroying them in the process.

Or how the US government blocked payments to WikiLeaks when they presented proof of war crimes US committed.

Crypto is like digital cash in this sense, as nobody can prevent you from paying with it.
Criticisms:

1. None of this requires blockchain or NFTs and is 100% technically feasible today

2. This has all been tried before and failed to show real improvement for either candidates or companies

3. Contrary to what the thread suggests, the biggest problem on recruiting is fraud; this proposal doesn’t do anything to prevent someone else interviewing for you
As a Windows native, for years I felt limited when shelling into Linux systems, because all editors felt weird to me. Obviously the solution would be "just learn vim already" but I'm lazy. I settled on nano because it at least shows what shortcuts are available, saving me from having to Google "how to find text in vim" every time. But its shortcuts are weird (to me) and even the descriptions are. UnCut? WhereIs? Huh?

Micro really got the UX right for people like me and it made me more happy than I expected. It's now the EDITOR on just about every non-GUI system I have access to and I love it.

That seems to amount to adding the following paragraph to their policies:

«
Any police photograph used to imply that the person depicted was charged with or convicted of a specific crime must be sourced to a top-quality reliable source with a widely acknowledged reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that links the relevant image to the specific incident or crime in question.
»

That seems like an improvement to me, though it would be nice to also see an announcement that the Wikimedia Foundation are going to use some of their large piles of cash to pay someone to check that all their existing articles follow the new rule.

Sounds like we are on the same page. You could build a trading platform on top of a NoSQL database instead of a distributed database. If people used that platform and found value in it, it would be valid.

I don't know if you read the article but the last paragraph is what inspired my original comment. FTA in quotes below.

"If crypto and DeFi are truly that great for innovation now, isn't it kind of ironic that after nine months of work, I'm starting to realize that my project's challenges don't lie within technology but are made of legal uncertainty?"

Unfortunately people are getting the idea that crypto technology is revolutionary and jumping in with unrealistic expectations.
If you have enough means to consider the concept of home ownership, you have different issues than me, but you're not the first to consider leaving for that reason. I like my neighborhood a lot and would be sad to leave it. Have lived in other areas though that I wasn't so attached to.
It's mentioned in the very top of the article, in the green box:

> In its order granting the Wikimedia Foundation's motion to dismiss, the court affirmed that "interactive computer service providers" such as the Foundation generally cannot be held liable for third-party content like Wikipedia articles and photographs. ... the plaintiff argued that the Foundation should be treated like a traditional offline publisher and held responsible as though it were vetting all posts made to the sites it hosts, despite the fact that it does not write or curate any of the content found on the projects. The court rejected this argument because it directly conflicts with Section 230 ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230

Wikipedia (nor Twitter, Facebook or YouTube) reviews content _before_ it's made available online, they only review content afterwards. That being one of the major differences between providing 3rd party content and "publishing".
This is the “just build more housing” argument with similar issues. The number of desirable names is finite and squatting is very scalable. One way of reducing squatting may be, hm ... making it less scalable.
Touch screen for CarPlay stuff - changing map to overview, selecting a different route when you’re stuck in traffic, pressing back 15 on Spotify etc, that’s great. Non essential stuff, alternate is a phone in a cradle with a worse touchscreen.
Good.

Also thanks to common sense, I hope.
Last time I tried Openbox I found configuration horrible (XML, really?) compared to 'traditional' WMs like fvwm, mwm, cwm e.t.c. If LXQt automates things like application lists then I guess that would permit a more usable experience. Plasma is not a thing on some non-Linux OSes atm so LXQt would be a decent alternative for those.
When asked questions about testing or design patterns on interviews, I respond with but what we want to achieve?

Tests are not masturbatory method of improving your self-esteem as developer, but a method to write robust code, easy to refactor or modify without breaking unexpected things. Any approach to testing should be motivated by business use case - does this approach actually lower expected future development cost in terms of fixing bugs and adding more functionality? How much it will cost if this part of system breaks?

Section 230 is extremely broad and powerful. The whole point of it is to allow websites full immunity from legal action over the content of their website regardless of how much editorial control they exercise over it, so long as they're not the ones writing the actual words or posting the actual pictures. They can use their power to shape what is and isn't allowed to be said into a chosen narrative and still be immune from legal action over that narrative. It's just that any criticism of this is outside the realm of mainstream discourse, seemingly because one of the major ways in which websites have used that responsibility-free narrative shaping power recently is against Donald Trump and so questioning Section 230 is associated with Trump support.
I think what you write is true, as I experienced it myself seemingly being that way. And then you have that smug colleague, who uses Chrome "because it is so much faster" and wondering why you still use Firefox or alternatives.

No matter whether we ascribe it to evil or the sheer incompetence of Google engineers (the job which so many proud themselves for as in: "I worked at Google!" lol), it remains Google's fault and not the fault of things they subtlely try to push it to.

By “runs on a TPU,” you mean it runs on a CPU in a VM somewhere that also has access to TPU hardware, right?

This exact reasoning can be applied to the buying and selling of gold, can it not? I’m not saying that therefore it’s moot, but is there a difference?

I'd follow the same process if it was a high-value hire. But in this process, if I'd discover that it seems to be a serial killer, I think I would at least reach out and ask if this is the same person, even if the pictures seems to match. Seems unlikely that a known serial killer would apply to any jobs I usually offer, so making sure it's the same person is surely something you'd do first.
In the world of unicorns and ponies, sure.

In the real world, once you put a screen anywhere, that's where the entire UX will go.

The temptation to do so it's seemingly irresistible.
Thanks God, I hate cars touchscreens, give me physical switchesp please.
For the longest time, I was afraid to fly. No amount of knowledge of the statistics or popular sayings about flying being safe was enough to convince me everything would be fine. It still isn’t.

What finally allowed me to fly at peace was watching dozens and dozens of hours of “Air Crash Investigation.” Damned be anyone who says exposure therapy doesn’t work.

Now, crashes just seem annoying and commonplace, and I imagine that if I’m in a plane crash, at least there is some kind of beauty to be appreciated in the complexity of a sinking aircraft and the weeks-long investigation that will ensue. The crash is basically a testament to the beauty of the act of flight, and now I can appreciate that grace for all its risk as well.
> and car makers realize what a stupid idea touchscreens in cars were in the first place, and give up the idea completely.

Why such a binary view of the world? Agreed, putting everything sans turn light and wiper control behind a touchscreen is a pretty reckless form-over-functionality idiocy, as you cannot operate vital functions of your car safely while driving.

But that does not mean a touchscreen does not have its uses: Navigation, for one - a proper keyboard to enter addresses and phone numbers instead of that awful rotary thing (or the embedded write-a-single-letter touch thing) that BMWs use is so much faster to operate. Speech recognition is outright unusable outside of the English-speaking world or if you have children or a loud party going on in your car. Not to mention that it is insanely practical on a phone to be able to quickly rotate and zoom a map view for complicated intersections, and having that as a proper part of the car would be perfection.

Media is the other major case - there absolutely need to be rotary dials for volume, station change and muting (e.g. if you get in a police stop and your music is blasting, or you hear sirens and need to know from where they come), but playlist selection and creation is so much better on a well-designed touch UI than (again) using knobs of any kind.
