I agree. While there are many things to admire about Smalltalk (e.g. clean syntax, real Object Orientation, feeling of a high-level language), the image idea is certainly the least favorite of mine.

The idea of a bundled IDE is also something I am not completely convinced that it is the best solution. On the one hand, it allows powerful operations, but on the other hand, every feature has to be developed explicitly for that language.

Instead, I prefer the modularity of Unix tools which can be used to develop tools by combining multiple technologies.
What a fractured fairy tale. jwz and I were true co-founders of Mozilla (see my reply nearby just posted). But jwz quit after a year:

https://www.jwz.org/gruntle/nomo.html

I led Mozilla on all tech decision making from 1998 through 2014.

Does this mean I was "supplanting" myself by doing Brave? No. In doing Brave, I certainly was not supplanting jwz, who had nothing to do with Firefox (born as mozilla/browser in 2001, over two years after jwz quit).
Isn't it a power budget and heat dissipation thing? For example the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 GPUs have pretty similar architectures, but the PS5 has fewer compute units at a higher frequency. Surely Microsoft would have loved to clock theirs as high as Sony.

PS5: 10.28 Teraflops, 36 Compute Units running at 2.23GHz (variable frequency)

XSX: 12.11 Teraflops, 52 Compute Units running at 1.825GHz (fixed)
Will definitely try this out on personal time. Sounds like a fun weekend project :)
> It tells you that it is a credit monitoring service when you call, but it is indeed the password manager service

That actually sounds like it might be a business model (at least in places where the proletariat don't get too uppity). You run a password manager service and calculate data on people's password strengths and the number of duplicated password they use, and then feed this data to some sort of credit check system.
I disagree with the assertion that quality is always decreasing.

For me, this is a game of perceptions where crappy software becomes popular and profit motive makes it risky to attempt iterations. No executive working at Microsoft is interested in the liability that would come with a win32 rewrite of Teams, even if the UX would triple in quality overnight.

If anything, the quality of most software should be dramatically better than ever before, especially when you factor in the relevant tools & ecosystems.
PCIe bandwidth increases have outstripped increases in GPU bandwidth use by games for a while now. Anything more than 8x is overkill unless you’re doing GPGPU work: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2488-pci-e-3-x8-vs-x16-pe...
Also, farm work comes in bursts. It's not like farmers were toiling away all day, every day in the fields. They'd work their asses off during a few weeks of the year for prep, plant, and harvest. But the rest of the time they needed to tend to animals and do various chores.

As a longtime NYC resident with a vehicle, I experienced first-hand the unending frustration and anger amongst drivers over parking. I saw literal fights break out; windows smashed;
I myself grew tired and weary of circling the block looking for on-street parking in and around Manhattan and Brooklyn... only to see someone take a spot that I'd been desperately circling for, looking, hoping, praying I'd find. "If only I'd KNOWN they were leaving?!?!?!?"

So, to solve the problem for myself, I built BTON:

https://bton.app/

you signal that you're leaving... someone comes and hands you a bton - you can use it to find your next spot; BTONs also have floating value to incentivize the spot leaver. Its free and in the App Stores; Again - I built it for a problem I directly and repeatedly experienced (trying to find parking in NYC). Would love to hear your feedback.
Sorry for the late response. I lost track of this thread.

> In practical use, how do you typically remember whether or not a site allows special characters or has a length requirement?

Good question, wish I had a good answer. That's one issue I've yet to solve for.

> Also do you ever have trouble remembering what you named a particular thing?

No, I base my names off the domain.

> Edit: on second thought, the use of only a numeric pin (with suggested length of 4) seems not good from a security perspective.

The pin length is unlimited. Also, the open nature of this approach allows you to pad site names however you like. For example, instead of using "amazon" choose to pad your names with 2 z's (not my method) as in "zzamazon".

> I’m curious why no true cryptographic hash algorithms were used?

There were certain requirements I had for the output that I couldn't guarantee from existing hashes, one was each for character only appearing once in the output.

> The other challenge I see is the integrity of the JS - would folks self-host this?

Yes. Users are also free to alter the algo to meet their own needs. A simple way to make it unique to you would be to reorder the characters in the 4 sets.

> please take these criticisms as genuine feedback

I am and I do appreciate it. Like I said, this is the first time I've publicly shared it and want any potential issues brought to my attention. I am not a security/crypto expert, barely a novice, and if I'm barking up the wrong tree with this approach I appreciate someone letting me know.
Well, I'm not making a claim in favour of any particular system, merely answering this question:

> Wait, HOW does inequality render assumptions about free markers maximising social utility invalid?

by showing that there is no particularly strong reason to think that free markets maximize social utility.

When it comes to other systems, all I can really say is that the space of alternatives is not very well explored.
That's an interesting article. But no fighter-jet will ever be useful at stopping an ICBM once it hits Mach10+.

It seems like the F35 anti-nuke idea is to fly the F35 into enemy territory, and then shoot down the missile _BEFORE_ it reaches those speeds. I don't know what kind of situation would give us advance-warning of a nuclear launch, enough time for F35 to scramble into North Korea (violating the DMZ) and then effectively shooting down an ICBM before it reaches top speed, but... hey... weirder things have happened.

Weird contingency plans are basically the military's job. Maybe the situation will come up. Or maybe that situation is aimed for some other nuclear-armed country with a space program (China, Russia?)

There are infinite ways. One for example is to generate a dns address from the uct time and try connect to that. It's easy to simply buy the correct dns name and send an order out to the botnet. Or to hide the commands in a DNS request itself, or lookup a gist, or a tweet ect.

But everyone that I know that uses it, hosts their own anyway (I don't agree with Moxie's thing of "people don't want to host their own servers and never will - clearly not true for some people).

That assumes that the world is naturally described in four dimensions (the three primary spacial ones and time) - but that's just a habit of humans. It's perfectly valid to describe space-time in one dimension or, if you're a bosonic string theorist, 26. The habit of identifying three dimensions (and leaving out obvious things like spin) is just one that's indoctrinated into us by our common mode of education. 3+1D is certainly very sensible - but it isn't the only right answer by a long shot. And, again, 2D is much more socially common - going to 4D really just feels like being pointlessly obscure.
They have compelling premium plans fairly cheap. In my opinion it's a more trustworthy relationship because their software is open source and is fairly straight forward to host yourself if they start misbehaving. No such option on most alternatives.
Even more importantly, these farmers were, for the most part, slaves. The article is describing a society where for every one "middle class person" just like us, there were 20 slaves working full time to support him. It is then comparing the living standard of that one person surviving off essentially 20 slaves to the living standard of the average person today in a society with no slaves.

Of course, as long as this is emphasized then the article really does do a good job of making it clear how much things have improved for everyone on Earth in the last 500 years.
USPTO is mostly self-funded. If they collect fewer fees, then their budget gets slashed. This model was introduced under Reagan.

Both took the job with an awareness of whether the job was tipped or not? I don’t see the issue; if the grocery clerk would prefer to be a waiter at a fancy restaurant, they should apply to such a role.

Since Covid is never going away, I don't want booster shots that don't work every few months.

I'm currently working with video in the context of gameplay feedback on video games (https://www.volt.school/ is my example app, https://www.vodon.gg/ if you want an instance of your own)

I'd love to be able to detect certain events that happen in the game stream. Things like the player killing someone, picking up a a particular item etc. Adjacent to this, I'd also be interested in your infrastructure around hosting and processing the videos. I'm currently pigging backing off YouTube and in the V2 of my app, I've moved to Cloudflare Stream but I'd love to know how you're working with these massive video streams in a cost effective way.
Sounds fair, not everyone is everyone else's cup of tea, I have my preferences and you have yours. I have read the "comic" at this point and the cynical attitude towards work without requisite personal effort to apply only to meaningful jobs and invest in learning the skills for them is as I'd expected from the headline.

I personally turned down a lucrative "bs" job after college to do work I considered meaningful, and was nearly homeless many times for the several years I worked on it. I now have the skills from those years of refusing to do "bs" work and instead focusing on work I personally considered meaningful, even when the few who offered employment doing it then wouldn't hire me. The comic doesn't seem to demonstrate them having done anything but trying to "get in" on the easy money from "bs" jobs and being disappointed they can't.

Seeing from your profile you seem to be trying your best to help create meaningful and balanced work lives for people, I hope you continue to succeed in helping people do so!

The point when society has to open up is when there is enough community immunity that removing mitigations doesn't cause healthcare shortages due to staff infections or resource constraints. That's after Paxlovid is readily available or vaccine mandates have driven up vaccination rates, not today.
What's your alternative? If it's just memorizing a huge set of passwords plus the ability to add to that set whenever you need, that's awesome.

But if you're doing what most people do instead of a password manager, which is just re-use two or three passwords for everything, then you don't just have a single point of failure. You have dozens of points of failure. You're not letting "a business" know all your passwords, you're letting many businesses know your password, singular.

Also, password managers don't only come from "businesses". I use pass[0], which just gpg encrypts passwords in a git repo. If you're willing to set up sshd, git, and gpg on your devices, you can use pass.

That said I still recommend that people coming from the "old way" use something like 1Password or LastPass if self-hosted is not for them. I share your distaste for giving the keys to the kingdom to a single business, but it's better than the alternative. I trust LastPass more than I trust the weakest member among a random set of other businesses.

I think it would be suicidal for KP to jump into a full scale "hot war" with the US.

That said, I could easily see them shooting ballistic missiles into the ocean 100 miles off the west coast at random times to cause disruption and chaos in the state that provides the biggest chunk of the US GDP (California).

The FAA and US would have no choice but to react as if it "might" be heading for landfall and unable to "launch on warn" because of the geopolitical consequences of obliterating a chunk of KP when their "harmless test" did no damage at all, would be high.

So in the "perception is everything" game, KP's moves appear to me to been about making themselves look good and the US look bad.

So my non-foreign policy analyst position is that this where I see this going over the next 5 - 10 yrs.

This sentiment is crazymaking, because even with political will and concerted effort, there's no realistic way we'd have anything like this infrastructure within the next 15 years. People have to live here now, and they're being soaked for parking fines --- not because we don't charge for parking, but because we deliberately use parking policy as a lever to keep renters out of the neighborhood. I don't accept better transit as a solution here.
Parking isn't "naturally free". You're using a scarce resource, land, which typically isn't given away for free in a capitalist system.

Parking spots are often small enough, used for short enough periods of time, or in places with low enough land prices that it's not worth charging for them, but people often continue to insist that parking should be free even when those descriptions no longer apply.

I had two ideas for Typescript in mind:

1. provide type declarations for the Window.js APIs, and

> but the PS5 has fewer compute units at a higher frequency.

Yes, this seems to be what's happening here. Less power used on memory bandwidth, means more is available for other things. This card is not so much "bad at mining" and more like trying to design for a different niche that might be underserved by all the "good at mining" GPU's.
Even if those were true -- and I don't believe they are -- Washington Times authors and the Daily Mail are terrible sources to prove it.

This is all by design in my view. You're at an organization that is in maintenance mode, all talent has left and the only folks remain are to keep the lights on.
