There are other reasons for the dearth of mods nowdays. The PC is no longer such a dominant platform so many people who might be persuaded to try modding are playing on a device unsuited to it like a game console or phone, a pure consumption device. Another issue is production value-as games get better the bar gets raised higher and higher for content. Compare the effort required to make a SC1 map to making an SCII map, it's night and day. Finally, modding is no longer the only way to scratch the itch of game making-starting with Flash and followed Unity, Unreal and now Godot we have an embarrassment of platforms for making your own game that you will own. This scratches the same itch for people.
It's predictable that the walls/ceiling of a building will take X time, and the wiring/furnishings Y time. Software development is different because even after you have allotted time for every issue you can imagine, unexpected further issues end up appearing which delay you beyond the projected deadline.

I suspect some of the popularity came from IT and engineering departments preferring to run Python compared to, say, Matlab, Excel, or some other GUI based application not designed to run on servers. R also has a lot of adoption but I think Python is a little more natural to run since so many infrastructure tools are written in Python

It also works fairly well cross platform. That means you can develop on Windows and run on Linux without too many issues (at least for ML/AI stuff, common frameworks usually have per platform binaries published)

i.e. Python is familiar to the people supporting production systems

Yes, scope creep can significantly change the time requirements or even the entire, shall we say "scope". But I think it's just as important for us as developers to be aware of that on the initial request, in order to suss out the actual requirements.

What does the process look like when we ask back, "are you going to need to have a total and rolling sum? should we think about making a gui so other people can use it too?" Engaging the requests early on not only helps our planning, it helps the "client" figure that out sooner than later.

I think I've been successful in my career because I've been able to listen to a client's request and then help them figure out what they are actually asking for instead of taking it at face value. That can be easier said than done on an internal team, but it changes the quality of the product and dynamic of the team significantly.

I wonder if Git or Stack Overflow should highlight non Ascii characters to reduce malicious actors using this in code.
This whole story has been stupid. These ideas have been around for ages and are not novel to the security community. Yet we've seen headlines like "all programs ever are vulnerable to this new hack." The root cause is not unicode characters but instead untrusted text. It isn't like a malicious library would be unable to sneak backdoors in through ascii source anyway. Heck, we just had a big kerfuffle over this happening in the linux kernel this year.

> The "culture war" is an illusion perpetuated by the influencer/grifter industry that monetizes it.

It’s absolutely not an illusion. Americans are diverging on fundamental aspects of how we should organize our society. For example, by 2060, half the country will be Latino, Asian, or Black. For decades, there was a consensus that children should be socialized to see “color blindness” as an ideal.

Now, many on the left say “color blindness is racist.” My third grader is being taught a “racial literacy” curriculum that will “help her develop her identity” “around her skin tone.” I don’t want my kid developing an “identity” around her brown skin. It’s a pretty fundamental disagreement over a pretty fundamental aspect of life—how to socialize children. There’s other related examples, e.g. addressing sexuality and family formation. These are fundamental issues, not trivial disagreements.

There’s a fundamentally new ideology taking shape, one that shreds previous shared assumptions. That ideology elevates non-discrimination to an overriding principle. I’ve had conversations with center left friends who won’t say they favor open borders, but can’t really think of any reason to have them other than “discrimination against brown people on the other side.” It’s overridden a bunch of other ideas underlying the Westphalian model. E.g. they’ll attack Japan as “racist” for wanting to keep the country for Japanese people—which can’t be reconciled with the Westphalian notion of self determination.

The new ideology also elevated credentialed expertise to primacy. I’ve shared with my center left friends a study showing that over 60% of Black and Latino people agree with Trumpian immigration rhetoric when not attributed to Trump: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/18/opinion/biden-latino-vote.... The academics running the study express shock that minorities agree with language that is in their view “obviously racist.” To me that’s a contradiction in terms: if most Black or Latino people don’t think something is racist, then it’s not racist. But I’ve had numerous center-left friends take the opposite position. In their view, whether something is racist is best decided by experts, not lay people. Similarly, with respect to the recent issues in Virginia, they think experts should decide the content of race-related instruction in schools, not parents. That’s upends previously shared notions. Article 18 of the UN’s International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights expressly makes parents the arbiters of the “moral” “socialization” of children.
Exactly. Unfortunately the problem is the people are opposing nuclear and to make people happy Germany leaders will do what they can, to push the whole EU to their home politics drama. One of the biggest drawback of any union when the big guys are incentivized for something not aligning with rest of members. No wonder so many neighbors are unhappy

The fact that the discussion revolves around making DST permanent shows the core problem in politics. There is no effort, from either side, to simplify things. They both operate on the baffle them with bullshit principal.

We should be saying to do away with DST entirely and use standard time year round. There is an actual benefit in timezones, but there importation guy kind of wacky. Then someone decided we needed "more time" and determined the simplest way was to simplely tell people to shift their clocks twice a year, because... there simply wasn't enough confusion.

Here we are, instead of saying lets just simplify things, because electric lights are thing now days, the proposal it to add another layer because that always fixes things.

I fully disagree. IMHO other open tabs are part of the current app state (not its history) just as the currently active tab. Do you expect clearing history to close the window you are currently looking at? None of the multiple browsers I use would close any open tabs when you clear browser history, at least on computers - mobile UX might be different, though, but I don't use mobile browsing much perhaps this is a source of differing expectations?

Regarding crashes, I fully expect that a browser which crashes or gets forcibly closed (e.g. the computer losing power) will restore all the open tabs afterwards, and modern browsers do succeed in doing that, if they did not, I would consider that as a bug to be fixed.
On mobile, iOS will aggressively swap out webpages that haven’t been looked at in a while, though it still maintains the presence of the tab in the window. Navigate back to a paged out tab and it will force a page reload.

The swapping behaviour seems to be good at stopping leaky sites from ruining your browsing experience.

Personally I am also guilty of using tabs like bookmarks. Especially on mobile. Though I do think that if the aggressive swapping wasn’t done, this behaviour wouldn’t be so prevalent.
> You don't get to aggressively approach someone and aim a gun at them in such a context unless you actually know what's going on.

Yes, you do.

You would be surprised how much of what you see today was pioneered in the early 1900s. If you want a real treat go lookup why we eat bacon for breakfast. Then consider that same guy revolutionized how things are sold.

In this case they are using scarcity and a form of rushing the sale before the buyer realizes what they have done. There are plenty of scarce items. But usually if the seller is telling you they are scarce and you only have minutes to decide, ignore them. It is an old trick. It works very well on someone who feels they will be left out in some way.

That's what I was referring to. Let's assume you store your scanned PDFs on your personal laptop and that gets compromised. Now the attacker has your medical history, tax and bank statements, contracts, ... your whole life to pick and choose the ransom amount.

I'm getting more and more to the conclusion that if you do not want something to be published on the Internet, do not put it on an Internet-connected device, smartphone or laptop -- or put the other way around: "expect anything that you keep on an Internet connected device (or cloud) to be potentially stolen from you". Too paranoid?

The one that really annoys me is when they do this for airline tickets.

Airlines release tickets for a flight in batches of 10, which is why you never see a "only x seats left" message where x is greater than 10. Once all 10 are sold, the next bucket of 10 are released at a new price depending on the demand of the previous 10. (I'm sure there's more to it than this, been a little while since I worked in the industry but that's the gist of it).

There's already existing regulations around purchasing flights (in the US). For instance on a flight results page after searching, you have to show the full price with fees, you can't just show the ticket price. I feel like it can't be that hard to regulate the "x seats left" messages too.
It had the opposite on me with the new Macbooks. When it was clear that I am only able to get my desired specs only after a month, my interest to buy them greatly diminished.
I think you would end up writing applications that look native, but not behave in a native way at all. We have a lot of those already. Just some thoughts:

- for an application that modifies files (e.g. a text editor), are changes applied to the file immediately or is there a separate "save" action? Platforms differ on this. Basically your internal data handling becomes platform-dependent.

- define a set of keyboard shortcuts that is consistent and intuitive, but plays well with the platform's shortcuts. You'll basically define a separate set of shortcuts per platform.

- whenever functionality overlaps with existing native applications, cooperate with them instead of duplicating their functionality (especially in an incompatible way)

This here is for me one of the biggest problems with Apple. I imagine this sort of eye of Sauron inside the company, whatever the eye rests on gets attention, anything else takes a back seat. They don’t seem to be able to multitask.

There are severe bugs in iOS Mail app for instance that have been there for years, through major iOS versions. How difficult would it be to have a team dedicated to fixing bugs outside the release cycle? It would provide a great environment for up and coming developers. And I can’t help thinking that fixing these paper cut issues would gain Apple respect, maybe not from the average user, but certainly from the sort of user that notices those details.

And perhaps also an easier way of raising bugs…
