A lot of people break down the problems into a series of axioms or beliefs instead of systems of inputs and outputs. So while policing isn’t enough to solve the underlying problem, removing policing makes the underlying problems worse.

200 units were built, 80 or so remain around today, and they were released in 1976. The Commodore PET was being designed in 1976, and released in 1977 - before the Apple II. There was, of course, a flurry of other activity around this time.

Are these grandiose claims reasonable?
In a number of high-value cases, no one spent any money at all, just transaction fees; they traded to themselves to give the appearance of a higher price.
Not sure I follow the logic here. The FBI statistics you’re quoting pertain to arrests, correct? That requires police involvement. In fact, the FBI gathers its data from police departments themselves. So if there is a concentration of police activity aimed at specific communities those numbers are naturally going to be higher.

To my knowledge there’s no dataset on who actually does crimes regardless of police involvement (eg: including noninvestigated crimes)
A web browser might have a higher density of advanced algorithms (than most software, but only because it has unusually extensive, varied and complex requirements (e.g. a number of complex standards like HTML, JavaScript, CSS, WebGL) and unusually high quality standards (foolproof, high performance, standards compliant, secure...),

I mean, the links are going to be a template either way, so you can change the identifier part to change the item; it's just a question of whether the identifier portion is the internal rdbms PK, or something else.

It's considered undesirable because it's basically an "implementation detail", it's good to let the internal PK change without having to change the public-facing URLs, or sometimes vice versa, when there are business reasons to do so.

And then there are the at least possible security implications (mainly "enumeration attacks") and/or "business intelligence to your competitors" implications too.

But it's true that plenty of sites seem to expose the internal PK too, it's not a complete consensus. Just kind of a principle to separate internal implementation from public interface.

I appreciate the time and knowledge that went into this, but I feel like I need to say that when the time comes I am absolutely going to start avoiding Flutter-based "native" apps just like I'm currently avoiding Electron based ones. I don't like what they're doing and I won't be willing to spend any money on them.

Another user of paperless-ng here. For a while, I used another open-source alternative Mayan EDMS - https://www.mayan-edms.com/.

As opposed to paperless, Mayan provides fine grained access control via ACLs and also allows 'directories' in addition to tags. Dropped it after a while though, since it was too enterprise-y and for in-depth configuration, the documentation was insufficient and I would have to buy the advertised book. Paperless-ng is sufficient for my personal use, though I still miss having directories as an additional level of hierarchical organization alongside tags.

Since I don't have a scanner, I just use the Microsoft Lens app to scan documents on my phone (Android). Paired with Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/), my documents are automatically synced to my desktop from where paperless-ng picks it up from the watched folder and automatically adds it. Tags and correspondents can be automatically added based on keywords in the text.
Yes. That doesn't make them a monopoly, though.
It might sound silly but what has worked for me for years is basically just having 3 boxes/folders. "todo", "done", "important". The first containing the docs I still have to act upon, second for things that I don't need long term, but can be useful to keep around for a while (bills, etc.) and the last one for things I do want/need to keep (contracts, work visa, etc.).

Everything is kept in chronological order. It isn't very fast to look up things up, but given I hardly ever have to access those docs I think I save more time not having to think about how to classify documents than the search once or twice per year for a doc.
> The polarization spiral, which is fed and accelerated by social media

Social media is not the root cause. The problem is rather that "wokeness" (or whatever the appropriate term) is having effects in the real brick-and-mortar world, and people are getting employed or fired based on belief confessions.

For this to be possible, employment wouldn't need to be based on productivity or competence. It could be purely symbolic, like honorary medals. With too many bullshit jobs, America might be in this state.

> After they freed the taxi market even that is somewhere on level of gig-work.

Certainly the freeing could have been done better, but the system before wasn't exactly healthy either. There was a fixed number of taxi licenses, and taxi companies were of course heavily lobbying against increasing the number. Since there were so few of them, good luck getting a taxi on a weekend night. Then again, if you were lucky and got a taxi, it was a shiny clean Mercedes (which perhaps tells something about the profit margins they were running at).
I view capitalism differently. I picture a neighborhood of elderly people who aren't able to shovel their driveways and walkways when it snows. And an industrious young person nearby who shovels their driveways and walkways for them for a modest fee.

He does such a good job that word of his good service spreads and he wants to expand by buying a truck with a plow. But he doesn't have the money so he goes to a bank and borrows the money. He's able to expand his enterprise dramatically.

He's happy. His customers are happy. The bank is happy. Society is better off, isn't it? There are of course problems with capitalism which is where regulation comes in. But it isn't rotten to the core.
Yeah. When he was little younger he had trouble with navigation when flying Elytra between our distant bases. In particular he made a huge tower on a remote (4k blocks) mountain and we made gunpowder farm in the middle of an ocean (7k blocks away).

So I wrote a plugin where you can save your current location with a name and you get a small overlay that tells you where you are pointing -- ie. what is saved destination closest to where you are pointing and whether it is right or left of where you point and how far (1, 2 or 3 angle brackets ).

I am also working on couple other plugins.

Because ultimately that’s a drop in the bucket. Vehicle emissions are only a small part of overall emissions, which includes power generation, agriculture, manufacturing, etc. And even among vehicle emissions, personal transportation makes up only a portion. Lots of emissions come from logistics and supply chain transportation. And to revamping public transportation in the US requires overhauling infrastructure and systems 80 years in the making, which will take time. So while reconsidering public transportation is a good thing in the long term, it will do very little in the short to medium term, which is when we need results.

> I don't think there are even any widely available on the market today which will automatically increase the temperature at mid day in anticipation of an electricity shortage later.

Our house built 7 years ago has an Enefarm fuel cell/hot water heater. Every house in our neighborhood and every house I’ve seen by the same builder has one. It approaches things a little bit differently but to the same effect. It learns your energy use patterns and turns on the fuel cell (using LP gas) when you usually use electricity, generating hot water as a side effect. The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.

> it's a safety hazard in homes with small children; hot water temperature should never be hot enough to cause burns when someone turns on the faucet.

Internally it stores water at 65 degrees C but mixes it with cold water to to supply all water to the house at a certain temp. We have ours set to 40C but you can change it on a control panel. Of course, there are mixing taps at the sinks/showers. It’s very common for shower temp controls here to have a extra stop at 40C that requires pressing a button to exceed.

> Most homes don't have enough free space for a big pile of rocks to increase thermal mass

I don’t know about cooling but the ones that take advantage of cheap electricity at night to store up heat and release slowly over the day are not massive.

On other hand good luck getting taxi now during weekday night, specially outside cities. Prices have gone up and from what I have heard quality of service has gone down.

I think licensing system we had made sense, prices were capped, service was at least controlled and availability during all times was guaranteed. Ofc, this lead to some issues when there was extreme demand...

I think the student’s first instinct was about right. For a program idea that sounds like it’s kind of a user whim ‘I think I’d like to have a log file of URLs I copy pasted’, it seems like it would be good to get a prototype into the professor’s hands to see if he actually finds it useful or if in fact it just winds up recording a bunch of URLs he never looks at before investing more than a couple of hours in making it super user friendly.

Instead, he just explained to the students why it’s much more complicated than that, probably discouraged them from trying to build anything at all, and as a result is no closer to having any kind of way to capture the URLs he copy pasted during the day. No value was created in this exchange.

My overall reaction to this is this feels very much like an academic approach untethered to what kind of practices actually work for creating products in industry, and instead is working to inculcate students in bad habits that will turn them into the kind of developer who, when asked to solve a problem, comes up with a long list of reasons why it’s too much effort to be worthwhile, rather than a list of ways to figure out how to solve the problem.

In particular, this pattern of listing ‘but have you thought about…’ questions is amateurish product owner BS and it does students a disservice to suggest this qualifies as any kind of requirement analysis model, let alone a first step in deciding how to go about building a piece of software. It is a great way to stop yourself from even starting.

Requirements gathering doesn’t consist of guessing what things a user might want, or even asking a user what they think they want. Yet the professor goes off positing a need for a pause mode, timestamps recording next to URLs, log encryption… all of which are maybe interesting but none of them seem like they make or break the viability of the product.

On the other hand, if it turns out you can’t actually make a program that has sufficient permissions to read arbitrary clipboard contents without triggering a malware detector or getting blocked from installation on a university computer, that would rather screw with the entire project, so maybe focus on verifying that you can at least do that first before you start wondering about what color the system tray icon is going to be.

And maybe your research will turn up some interesting affordances or edge cases in the clipboard API that you hadn’t thought of that take the project in a completely different direction?

The fact one of the students said something important that identified a key risk to the entire project concept: ‘I’ve never interacted with the clipboard api before’ - and then that got glossed over for discussion of all the shiny affordances that could be bolted on to the solution - was a real miss of a teachable
moment.
The image caption in the article says it’s from 1986. This Apple I was likely hooked up to a JC Penney TV, with a fine wood grain cabinet.
Safari regresses more commonly, and those regressions are often more fundamental vs edge cases, and then they take ages to fix. Sometimes they don't even bother until the next major release which is maddening... Anyone remember how they completely broke iframe sizing on iOS some version or other back and then just left it there?

We were pretty much stuffed due to depending on iframes. Some users are stuck on that version of iOS because their device is "too old" for Apple's liking and we have to tell those users we can't support it, which is horrible because we are effectively being used by Apple to coerce those users to throw their devices away...
The Internet’s Unkillable App
True, but I wonder if you might be missing the participatory aspect of Social Media. Everyone gets to have a voice and put in their 2 bits of nonsense.

Social Media also allows for the purposeful characterization something via slander, comedy, insult, quip etc. - basically, plebes trolling plebes, and that low form of communication tends to fire us up.

As bad as mainstream news has become, at leas they have to remain mostly civil, and when the TV is off, it's off.
Also: small but loud extremist fringe groups are more likely to break out into their own party, if they see it as an realistic option. There they can be sidelined or loose majority support, which means an election actually represents the will of the people instead of some loud minority.
We do a take-home assignment for junior devs where I work. The actual coding knowledge is pretty minimal. Few people fail based on the code alone. What we're actually looking for is if they can follow directions. A surprising number of people can't read a list of requirements and make sure they all get implemented.

For junior devs, we don't actually care if they do it in 2 hours, 2 days, or the whole 7 days we allow them. There's no bonus points for turning it in the next day, and I don't think anyone has ever actually done that.

But we're at the point that if they fail a single point in the requirements, we stop looking at them. This was a really hard decision, because there are candidates who are really nice and seem to otherwise do good work, but we've hired some of them and they inevitably continue to skip steps even in simple tickets. We end up letting them go after multiple warnings and months of wasted time, and having to do it all over again.

Of course, if you can't code you aren't going to get in either, but that actually seems to be a lower bar than following directions.
This is an irresponsible claim if not backed up with a citation.
