I mostly agree with the OP. web3 "feels" like trendy possible next gen plumbing that something (don't know what yet) will be built on much later. So all these kids are busy building things in it and experimenting and I think that's awesome. All of this is mildly interesting...but...

Web2 isn't going anywhere. It's not about some ephemeral future of web3, but more about stuff most people care about works in web2. Which is mainly, stream a flick, buy a pair of pants, watch football, order food. Web3 really doesn't influence any of those basic needs. And social networks? web3+Facebook would be EVEN WORSE. Hard pass.

Tokenizing humanity is _not_ the way to go.
I forget where I read it, but the reasoning I heard for it is that your body still thinks the zero calorie sweeteners are sugar, so it will store more calories from the food you're eating because your body is compensating for the lack of calories in the "sugar". I've also heard that the causation is reversed though, and that obese people are more likely to drink diet soda because it's a low effort way to try and lose weight. I don't know which is true though, so I just try to stick to water or fruit/vegetable juice if I want some more flavor.

The author should know that this attitude does absolutely nothing for anyone.

Throwing blame back on other people for not understanding your hardships is self-serving and a fundamentally dismissive attitude. Mental issues do not absolve actions. You feel that you are not fully responsible for your actions and that is actually fine - but as a person who caused harm you should own your ACTIONS, full stop.

"I fucked up. I had a mental break and caused hurt to others.I am sorry for those actions and I am working to better handle my mental issues."

Since they ask at the end what people want, it is simply that. Accept that you are the person that did these acts and hurt others. Forgive yourself for doing it, (internally) but don't deny responsibility.

If it helps, blame your Public Self for being an asshole while your True Self can empathize with those hurt by Public Self. Right now you can't empathize because you are so concerned about deflecting blame from yourself. But blame is shitty and doesn't help anything - ignore blame and accept responsibility for your actions.

Things can't improve until you do that first.
If you are referring to the pandemic, that is by definition not a black swan event as it was expected to occur at some point.

I guess it depends greatly on what version of bash and such, but with something recent, trying to execute the script will escape the problem characters when printing if it prints the interpreter name at all, and possibly also say 'bad interpreter: no such file or directory"

Singaporean here.

Opposition does exist in Singapore's politics, and in fact they do get quite a large share of votes (~40% across many constituencies), it's just that due to the first-past-the-post system the number of opposition MPs that make it into Parliament is extremely small, and thus the ruling party has effectively full control over Parliament.

Now this is definitely a clear flaw of the system but things are changing - younger people are more willing to run as opposition candidates and in the most recent election the Worker's Party made some significant wins.

There are a few things I think are important to consider:

1. Credibility of the opposition. Opposition should not exist for opposition's sake. Many opposition candidates are simply... not that impressive. A good example is the Progress Singapore Party you mentioned (it is a new party, not the most representative of the opposition). Their rhetoric comes across as xenophobic and racist primarily against Indian immigration, which frankly seems to just be pandering to middle-aged, Chinese voters. Of course incompetency exists in the ruling party as well but I won't go there.

2. Where do we want to end up? I don't think it's wise to simply rush into "copying" another country's political system. Frankly, I believe that the 2-party system seen in many countries is the "worst case" equilibrium that we should try to avoid falling into. We are now in the midst of the rare process of political change and I don't mind that it happens in slow steps. Let the Worker's Party prove themselves. Let the ruling party take in the lessons from the election and improve themselves or change their policies. It all ultimately works for the improvement of the country which is great news!

3. On the note of not imitating other countries, one thing I am glad to see is emphasis and scrutiny on political integrity. We recently had a case of an MP being caught lying in Parliament and it was taken very seriously. I do certainly hope twitter politics never takes foot here.
Even as a system level programmer, who actually sees bugs in compilers, CPUs, and anything else, I would postulate that the vast majority of programmers in the vast majority of cases would be totally sufficiently equipped with the source code, with no need to know assembly and how to reverse engineer a binary.

In fact, the chance of running into a compiler bug is so low at higher levels, that you're better off assuming that it is not a compiler or hardware bug. If it is, you're either doing something so special that you a) might want to be doing it differently if inadvertently, or b) know exactly what you're dealing with already. Or you encountered something worth bragging about, and finding such a corner case unicorn in assembly when you don't even know the original source to know what is supposed to happen, gosh...

Otherwise, it's a bit akin to expect from a car mechanic that they can run a debugger on the ECU, or doing chemical analysis on exhaust buildup...
I'd almost say that publishing from a nonpublic repository (or no repository) is a misfeature. At least when there is no good way to rapidly audit the source of crates on crates.io. Most people will go looking for a public git repo, but there's often no quick way to be certain that it's the same code as was published on crates.io.

>"First, supporting desktop/mobile software can be hard"

I have Windows desktop software (my product with about 40,000 customers) that I support and I would not call it any harder than maintaining for example backend C++ servers I make for my clients.

>"What happens when Apple removes an API that your program used?"

No idea about Apple as I do not develop for their platforms but my yet another desktop software (uses DierctX 9 and DirectShow) that did release in 2003 and abandoned sometime in 2008 as the revenue had decreased still works like a charm.

>"Programming languages move on and you're stuck with an IDE highlighting things as bugs or that won't launch your program because it isn't compatible"

That DirectX program I just mentioned was developed in Delphi 7 (I use Delphi and / or Lazarus to develop desktop applications). This Delphi 7 still runs and compiles this software on my Windows 10 machine. Latest Delphi which I have compiles it as well with no problem (just checked).

So yes in theory you are right, in practice (as much as it concerns my products) it is however totally irrelevant.
And unfortunately, due to politics, we have (in the USA) half the nation thinking that the top health and government officials were/are wrong about absolutely everything (including vaccines), and the other half of the nation thinks that the top officials got everything exactly right (and refuse to question what could have been handled better).

So California looks at Florida in horror, even though COVID just keeps on truckin' through Cali. And Florida screams that a mask is history's greatest threat to liberty, even though it's a plain and obvious way to reduce transmission.

Do people get fat because they drink diet soda or do they drink diet soda because they’re fat? (Or both)
Agreed on most of this... but I guess I fall into the techie developer category, and a decent portion of my social group as well, and anecdotally none of us loath or even ever complain about Twitter and Youtube. I like the decentralized social networks in theory, but in the vast majority of instances I see the centralized aspect as a minor annoyance at worst - very far from being a real, painful problem to be solved.

*note that OP isn't saying a decentralized version would become more popular:
"But a decentralized platform, just maybe, could attract enough people and produce enough content to not be obscure."

Experience on social media where one adopts a policy of blocking those who respond in that manner is markedly improved.

One of my Reddit handles has a policy (advertised in the name) of blocking idiots. I've yet to take that to the high extreme, but I'd really like to go through a number of subs and just start blocking users whose contributions are trivial and see what happens.

Many redditors have commented on the utility of blocking high-karma users. Up to a certain point, karma is a measure of quality. Beyond that, it's simply pandering and prolificity.

(HN is at least somewhat better in this regard.)
Is it possible they don't really want that higher density development and create it that way on purpose to give the illusion?
> They are finding there is so much genetic overlap for these disorders which is why you see so much similarity in your child, yet there will be differences that might be influenced by his mothers genetics.

> My father was no doubt an Aspie, he was a poor Italian boy in NYC but somehow attained a full ride to NYU when he was 16. My mother, a poor Polish girl who ran away from the coal country to NYC where she met my father. She has the bipolar phenotype running through her side of family and she was in and out of hospitals and attempted suicide a few times as well.

Oh yes. I got into family history as a lockdown hobby, and it runs well back on my side of the family. And suspect my wife has some ND traits as well, but her environment led her to develop some exceptional coping skills.

The key difference between my son and I that I note is that I escape into books and learning (as did my father before me), whereas my son escapes into physical activity, much like his mother's side did... surfing, boxing, extreme mountain biking... it's the adrenaline that's his coping 'drug'. (Notably I did get into extreme amounts of exercise at one point to cope, but mine was much less adrenaline... it was long distance and multi-day activity.)

> When I took them for the first time I finally understood how other people were able to exist in the world.

That moment of clarity is incomparable... the only comparison I can make to it from before the stimulants was when I was able to induce "runner's high" in myself.

> Regarding my nephew, I was frustrated with my brother, he did not listen to me. I was given Ritalin when I first saw a psychiatrist in 1996 and it threw me into an insane manic episode (I am still apologizing to my ex-girlfriend). That is how that "diagnosed" my bipolar disorder. So being he was realted, and showing some of the same behavior of my other brother who was also bipolar, I felt it was a wrong diagnosis.

I got a bipolar diagnosis a decade ago. Whether technically a misdiagnosis or not I do not know, but I consider the bipolar symptoms to be resulting from the ADHD... I was forever "failing to live up to my potential" and then when I did achieve miracles seemingly out of nowhere I became manic with "I can do anything" euphoria... only for the cycle to repeat. I think partly I didn't have enough life experience to recognise the cycle, because I did fine up until the end of my undergrad due to the formal external structures that kept me on the right path.

By the time I actually got the formal ADHD diagnosis and the prescription, I had already reached a high degree of self-awareness, and knew exactly what it was I wanted to be able to focus on.

But that when contrasted with my son's experience (and the others in this thread) are crystallising the view I'm trying to express... someone may very well have ADHD and lack executive function, but if they are in a pit of anxiety, depression and despair, then they need to work out what they want out of life and what to focus on first before going anywhere near stimulants. Because if you're focusing on wanting to be dead... well, I'm sure you can see the implication I'm getting at.

Fundamentally, ui has to be a consequence of function - there's a pragmatic reality to how a thing is used that informs the limits of the representation of controls. In a visual context, it's less about skeumorphic analogs and more about how the brain maps those controls to things we already know.

This is muscle memory and plasticity in action - the relative locations, stateful appearance, and behavior of controls gets mapped in our brains in the same way as taxi drivers learning the routes in a city, a violinist learning fingerings, or a child learning the alphabet.

"Muscle memory" is required to establish foundations of more complex behaviors. Once you've built a user interface, you should not ever touch elements upon which the users have built those muscle memory mappings. Yo Yo Ma would be as lost as a child if you told him he had to play the bassoon instead of cello. After a couple years of practice, some of the higher level artistry could be brought to bear on the new instrument, but it's the low level fundamentals that matter.

Firefox screwed with fundamentals, and their market share is evidence of why that shouldn't be done.

Windows keeps pushing down that path as well, mistaking their current dominance in desktop as something absolute.
> Google-approved fonts and Google-approved CSS

This is just completely false. You can use webfonts and custom CSS on AMP. There are some common-sense limitations, like limiting the total size of the CSS, but I've never run into an issue where I had a design that I couldn't achieve on AMP due to CSS constraints.

> the constant pressures from ads departments is the issue

The problem is that sales departments don't work in isolation—they're beholden to the broader pressures of the marketplace. It's a classic coordination problem—the industry is caught in a race-to-the-bottom of ad quality, and as long as you can make a few extra bucks per month by adding more and more intrusives ads, you're going to do so. Google has the ability to set different incentives for publishers, because they control a lot of traffic, which turns into revenue.
I've read a proposal for a system which has four timezones. It seems to be gaining traction, being the most widely known option that isn't associated with colonialism or anything similar.

That's why in families it's an appropriate action, and in school isn't.

In school there is a better (worse?) chance to meet somebody particularly nasty, who's bullying kids around. That should be answered by "authorities". In families it's less of the case, so GP logic is reasonable.

I keep a high respect to Gary Kasparov. I however have a question regarding what he writes here -

"It is the coordinated, coercive attempt to win a debate by ending debate—to punish, not to educate."

Could it be that those who "cancel" just found a tool which is more effective than those before, something which they were missing in the "old status quo" of inter-class interactions? Could it be that the voices of those who do cancelling today weren't heard enough, so now they use this new opportunity to participate in the societal decisions?

Doesn’t matter. The fewer lines of Python are more maintainable in human hours. I am not debating the efficiency of the compiler or program. I am however stating there is a massive oversight on the maintenance of the code, which would lead to a net loss in human overhead.

Some napkin carbon footprint math—a computer on for eight hours daily does ~200 kg of CO2 in a given year. An average human on the planet is doing ~7,000 kg. Which means the average human’s 8-hour workday is ~6.4 kg CO2.

Yeah, let’s pull out the abacus and the slide rule while we’re at it, in the interest of carbon footprints. /s

I could not disagree with his opinions more. I think it's perfectly reasonable for him not to want people to pass around stories of what he did when psychotic, I also think that plenty of people may not take issue with him because of this bipolar episode, but that they are willing to use it in an effort to discredit him.

I also think that you are unreasonably dismissing the possibility that people take issues with him for reasons other than his opinions. Your contributions in this thread seem to argue that one can either think his mental illness is a cunning distraction and irrelevant because he is such a bad person OR his opinions are good. It is a bad argument.
> Wouldn't that be great?

So it's great that someone making assets can only make a good return if the maker of the game is successful? If an otherwise good asset(s) are used in 500 shitty games that don't sell any copies, the asset creator gets screwed. They have no influence on the quality of the end product, successful marketing, or even whether it's gets completed. That's just working for free unless you get lucky. If that model of pay took off then a lot of people making assets will get boned and a couple will win the lottery.

For a game maker it's not much better of a deal. They get a low/no cost asset during development in promise for a cut of future sales. Now they've got percentages coming off every sale in perpetuity. They can only sell their game at a price the market will bear. If that's a relatively low price all those percentages for assets chip away at their net.

I don't see that model being great for anyone. Outside of lottery winners most participants just get screwed.

> I think people like you, who say that "there's virtually no utility to [new tech]" are just lacking a little imagination.

I might be lacking in imagination. It might also be the wisdom to see a lot of crypto-based ideas are just "solving" problems by introducing different problems.

Selling game assets on a blockchain and paying asset creators is only meaningful if people accept that blockchain's authority. If it falls out of favor/use/legality then it has zero usable value to anyone. I don't see any online stores accepting Beanz or Flooz and I know I've got some Geoffrey dollars somewhere that aren't worth much. I don't see why you think anyone will see any value in a particular blockchain around today.

One caveat with that is that a huge percentage of the Han Chinese population lives in the east of the country. The west makes up only 28% of the population, and a big percentage of that is minority populations.

Lee Kwan Yew gave an excellent speech on this topic, applied to how journalism works in the US (where it acts as a distributed force for accountability) vs Singapore, where he talks about how Singapore has found other ways to achieve accountability and how outsourcing accountability to the press comes with its own trade offs (the press has its own interests; they are usually for-profit players). He made a very compelling point that countries will arrive at different systems very naturally as a result of different initial starting conditions, that all systems have trade offs, etc.
Then in the end the journalists proceed to ask him the most thoughtless questions imaginable which I recall reduced to “but how will you be free without a free press”.
