Having worked in both Germany and France as a programmer, I just gave in, and am using an English International layout everywhere. The mental load from switching between QWERTZ, QWERTY and AZERTY (which also messes with the M key) was just too high.

There is probably some good historic explanation for why the shared characters on these keyboard layouts have been rearranged, but in practice it's so infuriating.

Although I can create every character from these three languages from an English International keyboard, of course the preinstalled international layouts on macOS, Windows and Linux differ. And if using the layout on an English/US keyboard, likely the physical key layout (~, \, Enter) is different, too.

AZERTY amélioré sure is an improvement for the French keyboard by itself, but I'd dream of a world where we have a common compose-key keyboard for all latin-alphabet based languages.
Totally agree! I think open-source will be a viable career path in the next few years. One where you don't have to join a company to get paid, but can rather pave your own way.

Of course, you now have investors and you have to keep them happy, but you don't have to give up your autonomy entirely.

The Legend of Bounce Back – My playable tribute to 35 years of Zelda
This has demonstrated itself to be very unlikely to happen in large blockchains such as ETH because of cryptoeconomics - ie game theory 101 - if you do a 51% attack on a blockchain you're actually devaluing the entire chain.

It's like robbing a bank where if you take enough money you cause hyperinflation.

So it appears to become less common over time as the chain gains enormous amounts of value. Proof of Stake will also lead to this sort of attack being less likely, I'd think, since it's virtually impossible for a single individual to get 51% of a well-distributed token.

It's telling that the attack here listed happened in BSV, a sort of failed fork of BTC with relatively low adoption.

I agree. The lack of distinction between Demo and IAP apps manages to hurt apps with demos, free apps and users. I really fail to see Apple's angle on this. Maybe they're trying to educate customers to accept IAPs.

It's the Windows vs Linux points of view. HTTP is a kitchen-sink, and extremely complex. I know, you're saying 'Wait, HTTP is simple.' Understanding basic HTTP use of GET and POST is simple, the implementation details of the spec needed to be HTTP compliant are complex. Think of features like proper MIME handling, compression handling, redirects, all the authentication options to handle, proxy support, caching, content-negotiation, headers to selectively GET, web sockets, etc. The spec for HTTP/1.1 weighs in at 176 pages.

Finger on the other hand does one thing, and does it well.

I would argue that we need more smaller protocols and less kitchen sink protocols.

The drivers for kitchen sink protocols are not necessarily technical, they could be financial. As a bigger protocol gets more name recognition it becomes a less risky pitch in the eyes of management to adapt the protocol instead of going with a smaller one, or inventing your own. This adaptation sometimes leads to the bigger protocol getting extensions and growing even larger. The other reason HTTP is often used is security policies - the port is open, so no additional ports are needed, and security is already set up to scan HTTP traffic.

I agree; I've been coding for awhile now, so I don't use W3School for anything JS related, but I don't think it's so bad if you have zero experience with anything related to web development.

Also, I honestly think that their Raspberry Pi + Node.js GPIO programming tutorial series is actually pretty good.
This is great PR, but modeling is useful when there adequate controls and mitigation solutions. We currently have no mitigation tools.

It’s my opinion that climate change can only be fought, most likely in only a small way, by individuals reducing their footprint on planet: drive less, fly less, eat less, consume less. If the purpose of a digital twin is to provide a red flag to humans, then it’s about 30 years and 5 billion people too late.
Ah, cool, thanks for the corrections. Yeah, I'm not into online lego fandom enough to know the correct terms—I just played with them for probably low-thousands of hours as a kid.

I do like how many bigger modern sets come with a "brick tool". I always wanted one as a kid when, but they were a separate purchase and I never wanted one bad enough for it to make my wishlists, over more sets. Even the $80+ sets (in 80s/90s dollars!) back then didn't come with them. They are handy.
I agree if we’re talking about YouTubers who are already making millions, but if you’re a smaller channel making high-quality videos, I would imagine that view bump is the difference between being able to work on producing videos full time, and having to work multiple jobs.

At that point then, maybe the thumbnails do make the world a worse place, but I believe that’s offset by having more of the good-quality videos produced (since more time can be spent on them if you don’t have to work 2 jobs).

I’d be interested to hear your perspective on this. Obviously the same utilitarian calculus doesn’t apply if the content a channel is producing is crappy alongside the obnoxious thumbnails.
Ah yes, death is an acceptable outcome.
Also, I believe Jeff would have even more viewers if he held a bra instead of a Pi in his hand, with his facial expression being the same.

Jeff, could you do a test and report the results? ;) Maybe dealing with Raspberry Pis isn't as lucrative as you thought.

Other than that (I also get triggered by the thumbnail thing), your channel is one of the very best on YouTube.
Sicknick died of a stroke the next day, apparently of natural causes. There are claims (originally presented by all media channels as foregone conclusions) that he was beat in the head with an extinguisher the day before, but the medical examiner’s report doesn’t corroborate that.

I think that rationale is patronizing nonsense. At best, this behavior is short-sighted and forgets erosion of trust is cumulative.
I'll concede that it's possible with cheaper equipment. But the people who actually do this work tend to have $1000+ in equipment at their disposal. And there are very few of them. And none of them would be accurately described as "consumers", or even "DIY-inclined consumers".

>Only a matter of time before Netflix demands remote attestation.

Which is completely absurd. Within minutes of Netflix/anyone releasing anything new I can download it via Usenet or torrents. Nothing anyone does will change that reality. They just continue to make it more difficult for the average user to access content via player requirements for various DRM schemes. Which funny enough pushes people back to pirating to avoid all the nonsense.

It must be soul crushing to work on DRM for any industry as your job. Knowing that no matter what you do, how clever you are, etc - it doesn't matter at all, it'll be bypassed very shortly.
That is some bullshit.
> Right now, the major players significantly abstract away from "how the web works" which means newer developers don't understand and are being led into a trap

Well, that argument always goes. Linux users don't know how CPU scheduling works. CPU builders don't know how silicon etching works. The list is endless.

Web developers should build experiences with the best tools available. Apparently, these are the new preferred tools.

There is no trap.

That's a valid view point. We don't watch TV (as in me and my wife) so it seems odd for us to encourage our children to do something we don't. I'm sure your experiences were formative (I watched a reasonable amount of kids' TV when I was young), and my 8 year old reads way more books than I did and I assume gets something out of this that encourages her to love stories, history, wildlife etc. My 5 year old is Lego obsessed and loves being read to (and it's getting much better at reading). I don't think TV is the only place to get this enjoyment from.

I think you might also not be appreciating how common computers are in (UK) schools. Both children have lots of computer time in schools (both on iPads and standard computers). I don't think either of them lack familiarity (at least for their age) for how to use them. You might be confusing not having a cheap Android tablet that allows children to play a child-friendly version of Candy Crush with the concept of tech skills; I don't think they're the same.
Was doing it off the top of my head; was off on the exact number but the sentiment holds. The main benefit of the UK has been that it was an English-speaking intermediary for US companies. The Netherlands and Germany are filling that role as basically every white collar worker speaks fluent English.

The main power lever the UK has at this point on the global stage is the fact that its banks orchestrate and facilitate global money laundering at the intersection of corporations, organized crime and autocratic regimes. And is rapidly losing that role to crypto.
This seems really annoying. You can unsubscribe to most things in writing as well in the US.

The issue is that it takes only a misclick to subscribe, whereas writing and mailing a letter or getting a napkin and travelling to the company's HQ takes considerably more effort (few companies have humans answer the phone).

Yes, definitely good for me. Bagging a few years as an amazon engineer probably improves greatly the chance to get more interesting work in the future. Of course any company equivalent should also be good.
>When an announcement like this is made, it means this program has been in the works for YEARS.

Doesn't mean its wasn't spurred by right-to-repair movement. Its not like Apple was blindsided by it.

> But now, when the revenue growth is coming from services instead of hardware, it doesn't pay to piss off customers by making them buy a new phone a year early because the battery died.

I don't agree. Apples model has always been to produce sleek hardware, with every new release causing lines in front of physical stores. Nothing has changed since then. Furthermore, the repair through Apple services was always somehwhat of a money grab, with occurrences of pricey repairs and not-needed services.

It be interesting to see what the pricing on these kits are. Since Apple has been rolling out hardware with id, that prevents it from working with non authorized hardware, it almost seems like its trying to put the 3d party repair shops out of business, and this is just filling the void while fulfilling right-to-repair requirements.

Our teenage boy faces a strict limit of 24 hours a day of screen time. If he goes over, well that's okay, because he'll be getting a Nobel Prize. On a serious note, it works for him, so we haven't had a reason to change it. If he stays up too late, he knows he'll be tired the next day. If he misses assignments at school or does poorly, he knows he'll lose his devices. He's active in sports twelve months a year, so no concerns about physical fitness. Everything with kids is YMMV - what works for us would be a disaster for many.

Man, I remember the ordeal that was trying to cancel a cell phone plan when I was a broke student studying abroad. Had to plead with them in arcane, formal French (a real pain considering I wasn't even fluent in everyday, conversational French--ended up needing help from a native French friend) on stationary and they still rejected my cancellation and continued to charge my French bank account. I tried closing my French bank account, but they wouldn't let me (IIRC because the cell phone provider was making ongoing withdrawals) so I just moved all of my money back to my US account and let the French account go into the red. The French bank continued sending me demands for money. After several years, they eventually notified me that they would be closing my account because I was delinquent.
We've gone back and forth, kids now 12, 10, 7. We implemented screen time limits pre-pandemic as the kids were not listening, would not put devices down, would skip important things by being stuck in front of a screen. We limited to 2 hours a day.

Then Covid hit and home school shattered our ability to apply limits. We've never gotten back to screen limits. Things are a little better as the kids are a little older. We do more parenting now and less tech restrictions, sometimes its a fight.

I'm a fan of letting the kids fail to learn. Too many guard rails changes the lesson.

Right now the CPU itself is also a bottleneck quite often. I'm often puzzled by why certain things slow down and find often the Pi's CPU architecture is slightly 'weird', especially in how the PCIe bus works.

I hope whatever comes next will have a more standard PCIe bus, and if nothing else Gen 3.1 or Gen 4, even if only x1 (that bandwidth would be a great boost).
For very young kids, no screen whatsoever. It’s the time they develop bonding with other humans. Best to let them play with physical toys or people.

Resist baby einstein and other things like it for as long as you can
I fully agree with this. In our household FB, Instagram, TikTok... are bad mouthed and blocked for everyone. Kids understand this and are on board with it.

If I was using FB and blocking for them, it would have been a hard sell.

I'm paranoid about passwords and sharing info online, and they've also started adopting those practices. Yesterday a kid had to login onto a public terminal at school, and once done the kid immediately changed password because I've been doing this. I was very proud. :)

Younger kid also makes sure passwords are hidden and so on...
CBDC – Central Bank Digital Currency, it will register every transaction
It requires just the one specific method of cancellation. Good actors will have multiple methods to make things easier for people, but the rules aren't for them. The rules are for the bad actors who don't want to make it easy, and who will do the absolute minimum required. As I said before, the issue is the creation of the loophole: by specifying that the same workflow must be used, by making your workflow highly directional, you can comply with the rule while still screwing people over.

Instead by focusing on how easy the workflow is, you regulate what people actually care about. If unsubscribing via the third party actually is as easy as subscribing, that's good enough; but if it isn't they have to implement better options.
Yeah don’t get all the gruff towards this. It’s an experiment and he took the time to put together a compendium and video about it. I’ve learned quite a few thongs from Jeff and not every creation is going to be an award winner, but at least he did something.
