I'm curious, are you a native English speaker?

I'm not, but I speak 7 languages. I can tell you they are not just "tools for communication". They are expressions of culture and you can see in them how people think.

There are things I can say in Spanish that I can't say in German or Japanese, not because of lack of vocabulary (well, that too) but because the concepts just don't translate. And this happens in both directions.

Even my behavior changes when I'm speaking some languages.

Edit: it goes without saying but I believe that that diversity of cultures is a great thing we should cherish.
Is arbitrary UDP working now?

I don't fault you guys for being a growing startup (we have all been there), but it would be awesome to have a way to flag an issue as "email me when this is fixed so I can come back."

This is common sense, except to the foolish activists who believe everything Rousseau ever wrote.
They were not putting into question the safety of vaccines, that issue was tangential. I know the article has the literal words "patient safety" and raises potential safety concerns, but that all has to be read in full context: advocating for better data controls and better rigour in research.

It might seem obvious to you that the article would be misinterpreted or parts of it taken out of context by a lay public, but scientific publications are meant to be read mainly by other scientists, and this paper was written with that specific public in mind.

Even if this was intended as official public health communication, which it wasn't, public health communication is an absolute nightmare of a minefield. There's absolutely nothing you can ever say that won't be misinterpreted or misunderstood by some people, and the game is all about minimizing the potential for that. It's easier said than done. (And again, this paper was meant to be shared among expert colleagues in the field.)
That’s not “shaming”. Shutting down playgrounds was a panic reaction and turned it to be useless but no one was “shaming” children. (It also went on for way too long in many places. Playgrounds were still shut down long after many things opened up for adults in many areas, which was incredibly shitty.)

This is huge! Kudos to the team for their commitment.

But, is there a reason why the minimum size of a storage that can be provisioned is 1GB? Last I checked, a provisioned storage cannot be shared by multiple apps, so I had to always create an overprovisioned storage when creating a small app, leading to a waste of money. Is it possible to share a PostgreSQL instance instead?
Video games are helpful. Minecraft and Roblox are really popular with kids your son's age. You can introduce him to MMOs like Runescape.

The Lansing book really is a classic.

This is hardly comparable, but I'm rereading the Master and Commander series (Patrick O'Brian) and you just can't beat that for adventure. Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin go through the Napoleonic Wars together, traveling literally all over the world, and having adventures fully as exciting as Shackleton's, although most of them don't involve 18 months of hell. It was a movie starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany.

O'Brian literally spent his whole life learning about that period. You can find an interview with him on YouTube. The thing I find incredible is: some people took him out sailing for real (I think one was Tom Perkins) and said that he wasn't really that great a sailor.
I doubt it is against the laws where the provider is located.

I would say Microsoft's UI team was absolutely stellar and basically the gold-standard in the world during Windows 95 days.

I think you need to open your mind a little bit and read: https://socket3.wordpress.com/2018/02/03/designing-windows-9...

This is debatable but personally, 2009 Windows 7 UX/UI is still better than 2022 versions of GNOME, KDE, XFCE what-have-you in the Linux world. If anything, complete opposite of what you're saying is true. Linux UX/UI is let's just politely put it - OK.
The new Butterfinger reminds me of this. I have no idea how it's affected sales, but the complete redesign of taste and texture has ruined my childhood favorite candy bar.
Until, for example, google deploys its app through its own App Store, with its own “privacy” rules.

Or epic: another company that has a novel approach to use privacy

Or Facebook

The only option goes “the AppStore with its various restrictions and protections” or “miscellaneous parties with a vested interest in destroying your privacy and/or complete lack of any review”

You directly suggested that Microsoft did UX testing, with no evidence whatsoever. Then you built your entire argument on that fantasy situation, and criticize anyone who calls you out on it.

How about instead of talking about some cola story from 30 years ago, you present some actual data for the current issue?

This seems pretty well-written and well organized, kudos to the creators.

It wasn't clear who the target audience is - from the table of contents on the side, I thought it might be for people to new to programming. But they seem to assume at least some basic programming knowledge - just things like what variables are, how functions and types work, etc.
There are other large source of particulate emissions, larger than cigarettes, there is no doubt about that. Why would that mean we shouldn’t have rules about smoking in public places? Is it okay to try to address multiple issues at the same time, and do something about the ones we actually have control over, even if it only partially addresses the problem?

It’d probably be ideal to eliminate the other sources of particulates too, it’s not necessarily a competition, though we all like buildings and BBQ. But out of curiosity - were the people noting that one BBQ is a bigger source of particulates than one cigarette also being fair about the averages, like the fact that there are generally many fewer BBQs running at far lower density and far less often than cigarettes? Are you sure they weren’t argued down because the point might be both somewhat misleading and also somewhat irrelevant? (I’m not certain about that, just suggesting it’s possible. It’s also a fact that there are people who like to ride on high horses and get uppity about their beliefs. I might be one of them sometimes.)

I've no first hand experience here, but I can imagine there being tradeoffs. For example, I think creativity is somewhat negatively correlated with memory. Or, I'm often more productive when I'm tired because it's easier to focus. So going into an altered state of consciousness might still be beneficial or preferred even if it has tradeoffs.

> this paper goes into geometries that could possibly lead to being able to generate the required negative energy

The geometries in question don't generate negative energy, they are generated by negative energy (which actually isn't a very good term for the kind of stress-energy that is involved). This paper is just talking about different possible geometries that could exist between Casimir plates, based on different possible configurations of "vacuum energy" that could exist between the plates. Even if one of these geometries turned out to be a "warp bubble", it still wouldn't change the issue that I described before, that all of this is taking place between uncharged plates, and the plates are outside the "warp bubble" so the bubble can't move them, so this is not a viable option for an actual "warp drive".
does it just work out of the box?
UX at MS is this weird consulting style org. Maximum visibility with minimal accountability. I think the Office 2007 Ribbon was the last new thing they did that I liked, it just needed a search function to quickly refine the buttons. That wasn’t allowed externally because needing a search function was an indication that the UX designer failed. I know devs tend to hate the Ribbon but I thought it was well thought out.

UX was constantly trying to remove the start menu, I remember hearing that it was Bill Gates who was adamant that it stay in. I had a good laugh at Win8 when they finally got their chance to remove it and totally messed it up.

Now the Win11 UI is so slow that it feels like every click must be hitting telemetry first. When I right click I see the normal context menu briefly before the simplified context menu. Sometimes it’s so slow enough that buttons will move right before I click on them.

I now have a stutter in games making them unplayable. Having to boot into Linux for games is not something expected to happen so soon. I still use Windows for legacy reasons but few things would make me happier than deleting my windows partition for good.
That's definitely disempowerment talking. There's nothing stopping anyone from creating an alternative government that meets more needs and is more fun to interact with. If it accomplishes that and people are willing to implement it and it doesn't violate laws by existing, then how does any preexisting system prevent people from switching over to it, aside from locking up people who use the new system?

Disruption isn't just for companies.
A new maintainer was added to the software in question who is slightly less conservative about making changes, and the problematic PR has been merged. There's no real news; just a couple frustrated people who needed to vent.

Computing is largely faith/belief by tribes.

The eco-protests against cryptoshit has been high & loud & I think effective: it's obviously a colossally inefficient system, the most unimaginable conflagration of computing resources imaginable. But Jack has honed in on a more purist argumentation, one that is less rooted in the hard fact of cryptoshit scorching the planet, & far more insightful about the hypocracy & ineffectuality of the beast. There are few benevolent factors about in crypto-coin shit, it's a world dominated by self-interest first & mistrust second. They are systems ruled by concensus-of-the-powerful, & most folks need deeply deeply deeply intermediated experiences to have the most remote hope of getting anywhere at all.

In short, Jack's one of the first critics to highlight just how perverse the profit motive has been here. Cryptocoinshit is free to become good, to show a light side, to enable real genuine capabilities, any day any time. But it's a highly highly costly environment to innovate in. There's a lot of pick axes folks need, is what Jack has highlighted. And the costs of working the medium, of sticking your pick in, are absurdly high, fantastically expensive.

I don't see this as a specific threat of person versus person, but a battle for the soul of a young, interesting technology, one that has had less & less enobling, user-empowering potentials, and more and more been a dis-empowering, deeply intermediated, finnicky & costly boondogle. The particular personages here are proxy combatants, whose contest has provided a bit better televisable experience of what the real battle-lines & conflicts are.

My personal experience certainly agrees with this. I definitely shouldn’t smoke on a work night, and it’s not a good idea on Sunday either. The more hours until I need to perform cognitively, the better. I abstained for months before the last time I did job interviews.

On the other hand, I know people also gainfully employed at top companies who code while high and claim to have no issues. Your mileage may vary, I guess. Maybe they’re a lot smarter than me and can afford the slack, or maybe we react to it differently.

I don't use cannabis and don't know many people who, but I did meet some long time users back in CA when I lived there. They all seemed to have that "permanent high" look on their faces. I wonder if this is related. Maybe it's all worth it, I don't know.
MIT researchers have been able to assign cafeteria bills to individuals with 80% probability. With any identification information as well as timestamps removed. Correlating datasets gets pretty powerful pretty fast. Also, if the data is made public, we are basically betting, that it is not possible to deanonymize in the future. Given the rate of technological development, I’d be very reluctant to make that bet.
But dependencies should be pinned for every application anyway to not break compatibility when sysadmin goes and updates all dependencies.

> all over the thread is not even remotely constructive

Constructive tone has been tried with Chrome team again, and again, and again, and again.

It's gotten so bad that in various "Request for position on standards" Safari team simply ends up saying "no" without stating reasons. Because it literally doesn't matter anymore.

All is left is directly pointing out the outright lies (see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30019370) that Chrome's various talking heads will tell you.

And yes. I will keep saying this in many places. And there's a good reason for that, as someone else noted in the discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30014807 Do you by any chance go and admonish people for "not being constructive" about Safari or Firefox?

I've seen .EXE builders for Python that produce binaries for Windows, it'd be cool to have something similar in the *nix world.

I think this is what OP is getting at. Its a question of maximizing the number of saved persons vs saving the individual.

Mandating vaccines is a case of choosing to maximize numbers over saving a person.

You might say they are the same thing, but they are not. Mass vaccine administration is done in order to save as many lives as possible, as in to reach a high score, a number. The other, which is no mandate, but with optional vaccination, is provided in order to save the individual person, not necessarily to reach a high score number.

And that is to me inherently what the ethics of the trolley problem was about. Given the option, do you treat people like numbers or do you treat them as individuals?

> The strange trend of "authoritarian minimalism" design that seems to be working its way through the majority of newer software is very strange.

A lesson that Microsoft could stand to relearn was from Windows XP, where the new grating Fischer Price UI was easily turned off to return to the sane defaults of Windows 2000.
No one is pushing that perspective.

America was founded with white people saying that black people were not human. The economy was built on slavery. White people wanting to own black people is why the American civil war happened. White people were the driving force behind Jim Crow laws, segregation, etc, etc

You cannot teach any of that without being sued.

No one has said “everyone” had slaves. No one has said “everyone supported him crow laws”.

Here’s the biggest tell: the people making the most noise about CRT are the ones who like the confederate flag and statues of people who by definition committed treason, for the express purpose of owning black people.

The same people who make it harder for black people and minorities to vote.

There is one single thread that is consistent through all of this, and that is racists not wanting to be called out on being racist.
Still no direct downloads for the "standalone" desktop version(without going through app stores), for which someone here kindly raised an issue [1] based on my comment here a year ago [2]. The issue was closed by providing a Windows zip on the GitHub releases page. I don't understand why the same link couldn't be updated on the main website downloads page. There is no direct download for macOS either.

For an open source project, working solely on app stores (for all the conveniences they provide for certain users) seems weird. I would really love to try this, but the app store requirement is a big barrier.

> Windows Desktop Experience Team from Win7-Win10. Starting around Win8, the designers had full control, and most crucially essentially none of the designers use Windows.

How are they allowed to do this? This is awful and goes completely against the "eat your own dog food" philosophy.

Separately, I've noticed that developers in general are too deferent to designers, who then get to run amok with shitty ideas. Your pushback is exactly what is needed.
It's interesting to me how everyone seems to agree that remote school and college are huge failures and students are falling behind, but when it comes to their remote jobs, they'll go to great lengths to deny any reduction in efficiency, collaboration, or productivity.

Windows 7 with the dock, searchable launcher and hotkeys for placing windows was when Windows became quite usable. I’ve never heard people complaining that it was ruined, just moaning about having to relearn stuff. But that is inevitable.
