That's what makes the whole idea of microservices seems weird to me. If a functionality has merit on its own (e.g. an authentication service), then it will naturally fall outside of the main application. If a service is tightly coupled to other parts of the app, then microservices seems like intentionally hindering yourself: the coupling remains (as evident by the need for backward compatibility), but now we it's harder to keep everything aligned due to the extra separation (e.g. different code bases, multiple databases, no static validation of remote interfaces etc.).

The point of organizations and products is to work as a tightly coordinated machine. The decoupling that microservices create seems opposite to that goal.

Happy to hear different perspectives.
What stops OEMs from publishing dummy updates that satisfy the legal checkboxes?
I wrote a reeaally primitive SMTP server in mIRC's scripting language.

The reasoning, of course, was that there was an IRC server that I frequented that required a web sign-up, so I wrote mIRC script that screen-scraped the sign-up page, solved the "captcha" (an unobfuscated type-in-this-number field solved by using an open source OCR library) and then used a random local-part and a host-part of a dotted quad -- think "jh412ec@[12.34.56.78]" -- that was a hosted my box at home that was running mIRC.

The SMTP server just literally reponded with 354 to the DATA command and a 250 to everything else, which was more than enough for my needs.

It then read the body of the email and "clicked" every link it found in order to verify the email, and logged me into the IRC server with the auto-generated credentials... and some time later I'd inevitably be k-lined, because of course the kind of kid who did this was the kind of kid who got k-lined.

Being k-lined wasn't an issue though. Reset the dial-up for a new IP, run the command, and you were back in within a minute.

Being a dick on IRC was how I learned to program. What a blast.
I share the same concerns. It’s also a little irking that if I want to enjoy good tooling for typescript, I now have to install another language on my system since the language that typescript sits on is a hot mess. I don’t mean to cast shame on JavaScript, but I’d be remiss to not say that modern js development is a bit insane. The only reason we all go along with it is because we have to.

The question of where liability should sit for our collective reliance on fossil fuels is interesting. One reckoning I want to see is with our collective delusion that plastics are fundamentally recyclable.

Frankly I think a “truth and reconciliation committee” solution is probably the best we can hope for. So many parts of western society profited from, and actively propagated, that myth, and we’d benefit from a full accounting of harms done.
At first I thought that a good way out of this is to install Calyx OS or similar AOSP onto the Pixel, but then checked the Calyx support website [0] and, because they source the proprietary bits from Google, it's the same problem as the post elaborates...

Huh , so much still to learn about human bodies and how they work .
Have the definitions of web 1.0 and 2.0 authoritatively been decided? The general idea I've seen has been that web 1.0 was decentralized and web 2.0 is centralized, but it seems kind of odd to separate the generations of something as impactful as the internet the same way you would separate generations of the iphone. It almost seems like it would make more sense to define generations at the same scale as the internet itself which is communication.

(full disclosure zero research has gone into this, I didn't live through web 1.0, and I know nothing about how the web works).

In my head, web 1.0 was the automation of one-way communication. You could request a site and the equivalent of a newspaper was sent to you; and anyone else who requested the same site was sent the same newspaper. If you wanted to order something you had to call the phone-number listed on that website, same as if you had seen an ad in a newspaper. Two-way communication existed but it was the equivalent of a really fast mail and was for the most part was between people over the internet rather than with the internet.

Web 2.0, suddenly if you requested a site you get a different version with different ads than someone else making the same request; without a person choosing for you to see those different ads. You can place an order and human doesn't get involved until that item needs to be picked off the shelf to be transported in meat space. Now the internet is 2-way communication, you make a request and it responds to you in seemingly unique ways. The internet itself is replacing some of the human effort that goes into communication. Before it was just transporting human information, now it's responding.

So what's left now that the internet has conquered communicating in two-directions through space? Time. If you want information (ideas, values, whatever) to transmit through time you create institutions. Something that is resilient so that it survives mostly intact and that is enforced to ensure compliance. Web 3.0 seems to fit that. Immutable (if desired), enforcement is achieved from the immutable code itself, and it runs on belief (the more people that are part of it the stronger its self-sustaining characteristics). It might also explain why all the big blockchain uses have been activities traditionally controlled by institutions (money, property, contracts).

Hmm. For things that do want "just a graphical sudo" for whatever reason, it is kinda the perfect answer. Reusing the per-desktop authorization UI that is used for more fine-grained actions for a sudo-like tool is the correct thing to do. No one wants to have more redundant authorization mechanisms and UIs…

"What were we trying to achieve again?"

This is the main takeaway here. If you have a problem and think microservices might be a good way to solve it and possibly worth the effort, then go ahead and investigate. But without a clear problem and plausible solution involving MS, it's going to be a big waste of time.
Also don't discount that most of your APPS themselves will still get security updates (as long as they keep compatibility with your Android OS version - which is likely for awhile) and realistically poor app security often worries me more than the OS itself. Android is (overall) a pretty secure system. Unless some massive exploit is released past my phones final security patch I am not that worried about using my device longer.

Naming things is still one of the harder problems in computer science. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is descriptive, but doesn't say everything. How much storage it has, how many sim slots (there are dual-nano-sim iPhones in special regions) it has, the modem and antenna configuration, the color. From Apple's POV, the plebs don't need to know the difference between A2342, A2410, A2411, and A2412 versions of the iPhone 12 Pro Max and it's not clear that they're wrong.
I definitely agree with this point. Discovery in the long-tail of content (without resorting to sort by new which is a nightmare) is a must solve problem in a independent/decentralized web.

I have a feeling the "answer" is "all of the above" options; the ability to choose what discovery/recommendation mechanisms to use. Being intentional about which lens your viewing your recommendations through. Being able to easily swap between lens. Allowing for corporation owned lens and community owned lens. Allowing yourself to look at an issue through the lens of an individual or institution that you trust.

> people are really bad at linking to each other
I wonder if the underlying point here is that the initial set of recommendations comes from small "communities". The readers of a certain blog suggest similar content to others in a non-spammy way. An independent music label links to artists that they enjoy listening to. I think there's missing infrastructure that makes it hard to form these communities though; any barrier to entry makes it less useful. I could see the "web3 ownership economy" thing helping here if it ever becomes a thing; creating this infrastructure as a side effect of the other stuff they want to accomplish. It'd be like if a subreddit was automatically created for every content creator, which could then be used to find recommendations of similar content.
High fructose corn syrup is not the same thing as fructose, all other things being equal. Fiber also helps modulate the insulin response. Sugar isn't the enemy, if you're eating fruit you're getting a lot more than fructose from it. The problem is when people get a large % of their calories from nutritionally deficient food, like soda.

Here at Google, one of our most popular microservices frameworks enables microservices to be assembled into servers. If one microservice calls another one in the same assembly, it won't touch the network, and is quite optimized. There's no reason that microservices have to all run in separate binaries, but when it's useful it can be done easily enough without having to change your code.
There are yeasts that can survive in ~20% alcohol solutions. Most red wines are in the 10-15% range, while there might be some residual sugar, the wine is considered “dry” and there won’t be much or any perceived sweetness.

Sweet reds do exist, but almost all of them are fortified to stop fermentation early and leave sugar in the bottle, or just cheap wines with sugar added to appeal to simpler palates.

It's not an issue of simply having scams. The issue is that, by its very nature, the ratio of scams to legitimate functional work is likely 1 million to 1, and the entire ecosystem does not only revel in this, but actively encourages even more scam-like behavior. This all stems from blockchain as a concept's decision of baking in valuation to EVERYTHING.

It's the purest distillation of the "greater fool theory" in human history.

I'd rebuke your framing of leaving the morality of it aside. The more valid framing of a debate for new technology should be to prove that there are non scam-like applications of the technology that are superior to currently existing ones.

When I go on keto I eat a TON of processed foods and take supplements. Keto diets help people, end of story. I wouldn't have been able to lose weight otherwise, I've tried. Keto for me was almost cheating. There's some pretty great products out there with a low GI or net zero carbs but they're all pretty highly processed.
My general inclination is to go straight to Rust if I already tried a different reasonably performant language (like Node.js) and it wasn't fast enough—because only Rust (and C and C++ and a few more obscure languages) guarantees that basically any performance optimization that I might want to do will at least be possible, even if it might be inelegant or unsafe. I don't want to run the risk of hitting another performance wall that I can't climb over.

That being said, porting this kind of codebase to Rust would indeed be really rough—definitely possible, but by no means pleasant. I like to think the platonic ideal Rust, which we're hopefully getting closer and closer to over time, is capable of elegantly handling cyclic data structures and the like even while encouraging a single-ownership model for the 95% of cases where that's the right design. I don't think the Rust we have today is there yet.

I really disliked the hardware, battery life was awful for me even after replacing it with their extended size OEM battery.

It felt like cheap plastic crap too (imo).

The iPhone 5 was the first iOS phone with turn by turn nav and LTE which were the reasons I stuck with the Nexus phones as each one got worse. The 5's battery life was also ridiculously good in comparison and the hardware design holds up even now ten years later.

The HTC Nexus One was the best of the first three, I'm not sure why Samsung gets so much love for hardware. The Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus builds were both ugly and poor. The Nokia N9 was beautiful and I was bummed when Microsoft turned them into windows only devices, they would have been great android phones.
Apple uses their own chips in their phones. Samsung also has their own silicon, though they do use Qualcomm chips in some models too.
