Things can be feature complete, and they often are at many businesses.

You need to build a solution to problem x. You do that and then the project is over. Outside of maintenance work it's a stable code base and you the developer move onto a new problem.

Examples of this in my mind are things like uBlock Origin. I'm not getting bombarded with updates on that project. It does the job it sets out to do, and it does it well.
It's not that I doubt Common Lisp but that I doubt the stability of an engineering organization (not that using the same tech stack forever is _necessarily_ the best thing). It's just so common for groups to switch stacks every 5 years.
It's hard to start doing this when your competitors keep playing by the old rules.

My hope is that ever more aggressive enforcement will finally lead us to the point where the dams break and everyone scrambles to get compliant at once.

The sooner, the better. But I realize that the legal system needs to ramp up the pressure, they cannot start with company-destroying fines on day one.

These rulings and fines keep me in good spirits, because I think we're actually getting there. Slowly, but still.
There are a number of other ways where they don't meet level 4. Level 4 is fully hands off in specific situations, and Tesla is never hands offs.
Don’t bring attention to any historic caucasian struggles because bringing attention to the plight of any race other than a race currently labeled ‘minority’ is an affront to the party.
Whenever Google does something awful a product manager comes in here and tries to justify it. We get that there's business reasons why you'd do this, but it's still deeply unethical.

The fact that we can't disable this feature for our workspace is also pretty messed up. Yes disabling the feature could remove some functionality- but that's a choice the users should make.
You are right. This bridge is designed for commerce to travel under it. I really don't think this is a big deal.

It’s actually a very nice country for an Expat to live in. Much of the gain with little of the negatives, and usually a limit on your overall exposure to these things. And most expats are much more focused on their individual experiences than the long-term effects of a government.
They don’t make money if they don’t have ads and trackers. Push notification is just to get you to visit more often. Why would they want to serve the site to freeloaders
I guess we could outlaw yachts and then collect money to lift all the people who used to build and work on yachts out of poverty :)
That’s fine, but I don’t see where one gets "light years ahead of any programming IDE out there" from that.

I like Lisps/Schemes as much as the next person, but other languages don’t have parentheses to deal with, so by that same token, you’re getting that for free, such as an ML like F#.
> Right now the big problem as I see it is that there is great content being created but its audience just isn't finding it. There's so much noise, the signal is almost completely drowned out.

It's a curation problem. We have billions of pieces of content being created and only a handful of curators to bring that info to us. All the big search engine players want to be "the one" but it's a fools errand IMO.

No one search engine will be able to become "the one" because there is simply too much information. Google with all of their cash in the bank and talented engineers can't even crack the problem. The problem though is even though each search engine offers something different, they all think they offer the same thing and compete to muscle out any smaller players.

So you get a situation where you want a metal roof for your house, metal roofer gives you a quote. Big roofer guy in town hears about this and runs the metal roofer guy out of town, then tells you he cant offer you a metal roof anyways.
Same story here. Postman just got too feature-rich for my blood.

curl + bloomRPC + graphiQL covers all my bases nowadays.
How are they screwing users? By showing them relevant ads?
It may not be. The bridge (https://rotterdampages.com/architecture-de-hef-rotterdam/) has a movable deck that can be taken out and hung back, so if the opening between the pillars is wide enough for the yacht, it should be a fairly easy operation.
Transparency. People are overwhelmingly unaware of the volume and types of data that is collected on them.

And at this point the free market can’t resolve this. The spyware model has absolutely ruined the internet economy. There is no way to compete against a spyware company with a paid product.
Germany and France are saying it fairly loudly - they've never hidden their intent to make the EU a federal, unified, state.

And with Brexit, the biggest obstacle to that has been removed - the UK never wanted to be part of a Federal EU (because we always considered ourselves part of the British Empire/Commonwealth). There are other EU countries who aren't wildly enthusiastic about a Federal EU too, but it was always the UK being the most loudly opposed to it.
What annoys me about this isn't that it's Bezos building a ridiculous yacht. Eat the rich and all that aside, let's talk about the arrogance of Oceanco.

They knew the height of the bridge. They knew the planned height of the yacht. The started building anyway without first asking. They simply presumed they could get what they wanted. How? Well the article explains how very well.

> He added: "From an economic perspective and maintaining employment, the municipality considers this a very important project."

The veiled threat being "Oh, you like having jobs here? Would be a shame if something happened to that."

And of course they could just not put the mast on here, and do it elsewhere, but:

> it was "not practical" to partially finish the vessel and complete the build elsewhere. "If you carry out a big job somewhere, you want all your tools in that place. Otherwise you have to go back and forth constantly. In addition, this is such a large project that there are hardly any locations where this work is finished."

IE: We do have other places we could do this work, but just not as cheaply as we can do it here, by inconveniencing the local population for days by removing their bridge.

And Rotterdam will probably do what they say. Because they're right- the corporations do control them this way.
wait... i am using an android and i skipped google login. i use aurora store/fdroid for apps, newpipe.

why can't you sent up android without google? i am running android 11 btw,
And then you accidentally refresh or close the tab and everything is gone. I usually use specific requests over many days if I'm reverse engineering something so having these available, sorted in folders for me is important. Of course for other uses cases it might be fine to have them live in the browser.
Yes, saying that people like me achieved success due to privilege is misleading and hateful because it dismisses our hard work and tons of sacrifice to get where we are now.

But sure, call it a privilege. Thanks to discourse like this the word already lost its meaning.

The only thing that I got dealt a good hand is that by accident my passion and hobby can bring me a tonne of money.

Where is my privilege here?
Sadly as many people here you're confusing luck and privilege. No point in carrying on with the exchange if you're insisting on calling everything privilege.

Thanks for the discussion.
There really should be more personal culpability, at least on the exec team and board of directors, for things like this.

I also hope Google gets sued in Europe over this. I live in the US and work for a European company and I'm reasonably sure they're going to be super pissed off about this.
Benefits of playing on mobile - “hey Siri what’s <insert maths here>”
Most people don't choose to use Google Workspace. Some organization they have a relationship with (usually their employer) chooses for them.

After that they can attempt to avoid any additional tracking on top of the necessary one that comes with the choice someone else made for them.
I have been doing 3D for about a decade and a half

You have a lot of inertia to overcome. That's 15 years of muscle memory and expectations built using different UIs, different paradigms, and different ideas to achieve the same result. You need to factor the fact you're going to be thinking "But I could do that much more easily in <thing I've used for more than a decade>!" a lot. It's possible that you won't ever overcome those thoughts.

Forgetting is a lot harder than learning, and while Blender is pretty amazing it definitely isn't so much farther ahead than the competition it's necessarily worth the effort. Blender's main benefits are that it's fully integrated (it does everything!), and that it's free. If you already have a successful workflow for 3D then maybe it just isn't the app for you.
> And yet it doesn't happen

Sure it does. Quite a few European countries have a top tax bracket in the 50% range. Denmark's capital gains rate is 42%, more than double what Bezos pays here.
Supposedly it is targeting a very specific type of content: medical mandate protest coverage. Unfortunately this is a plausible explanation.

What sounds a bit ridiculous is that they apparently are only noticing this problem now - I mean, they knew the dimensions of the yacht when they accepted the order to build it, but they waited until it's almost finished to say "oops, we have this huge almost finished yacht worth $$$$$$ and we can't deliver it to the customer unless you dismantle a bridge"?! And the municipality, out of the goodness of their hearts, will probably use taxpayer money instead of billing the shipbuilder for it?

What's even more puzzling is that the problem is only with the masts, and it's apparently not possible to detach the masts and reattach them later? If I were Jeff Bezos, I would be worried about what this means for future repairs to the yacht...
Even in a decent PR multi-party system. Our green party for example is environment first, left wing economics second, public transit, pro-agriculture, anti-nuclear, somewhere down the list is internet privacy.

Or maybe I could vote for the labour party, which are centre left economics, pro-EU, pro-housing expansion, pro-healthcare investment, pro-environment, somewhere down the list is internet privacy

The idea that there's a party that (a) both has the same views on all issues as you do, (b) has sufficient votes to get seats and (c) orders issues in the same importance you do, for everyone, is clearly not valid. More parties = more choices, and this is often better, but ultimately we'd end up with de facto direct democracy to have a party with the exact views for every person.

Similarly, even for myself, I consider internet privacy important. Maybe I should vote the for the pirate party then? Except I consider the environment more important and our pirate party is so small that it hasn't even considered a position on non-privacy related issues, never mind have an adequate plan for how we're going to make a transition from a heavily fossil fuel based power supply. Even on that environmental issue, I think the green party's anti-nuclear stance has historically been a mistake, but if the others are just going to build more gas plants, I'll deal with it.
Isn't 95% of every resource use "sub-optimal"?
Everyone goes to holidays or buys stuff they do not need. Bezos is just rich enough so that his spending goes into the news.
Then riot for it!

Maybe kidding? Seems the only way to get a single-issue topic on the agenda these days.
While I do agree that having money put to use is preferable to not, the argument that any spending is therefore good seems somewhat absurdist. We wouldn’t apply that logic to government spending, for example - the government gold-plating Air Force One produces different effects than the government building water sanitation, even though they both result in economic activity. Accordingly, some spending produces more social good than others. The argument that critics of spending like this isn’t that it would be better for the money to sit in financial instruments, it’s that the money would be better off partially captured via taxes and more directly allocated to social good.
According to the Reddit comments, this is only for livestreams not for videos in general. I'd guess that the problem with livestreams in particular is that any kind of abuse prevention / moderation needs to be done in realtime, vs normal videos where it can reasonably be done either as a pre-pass or with a delay.

How does limiting the number of viewers of a stream by a small channel help? Well, it means that stream with a large number of viewers is done by somebody in good standing and with something to lose (i.e. their popular channel) if they break the TOS. You can't just create a new channel for the purposes of abuse.
That's not quite right. A single socket thread does all the requests and telemetry is multiplexed with user traffic. If telemetry is different in some way to other network traffic, then it's always possible for it to cause problems with user traffic.

Telemetry is different to user traffic - it's less important! - but of course any in-process QoS would still create a point of interaction with user traffic.
That reading direction is spot on. Also, it's normal to struggle through the early Stephen chapters. The prose becomes much more conventional and accessible once you meet Bloom in "Calypso".

My constant recommendations for those interested in tackling Ulysses:

- RTÉ produced a fully cast, essentially unabridged dramatization[1] which is phenomenal. So much of the "fun" of Joyce is found only when reading it aloud.

- Frank Delaney's ridiculously ambitious paragraph-by-paragraph[2] unpacking of the novel in podcast form was sadly cut short by his death, but remains a charming journey through the first sections of the novel.

How does 'REPL-driven developent' work, exactly? Are you writing code in files and then testing it in the REPL? Or writing substantive code in the REPL and then copying it to files somehow?
If people are choosing "spyware" over a "paid" product, perhaps they just don't care about data collection that much. Isn't that the logical conclusion?

Objectively ads have added more money into the internet economy than ever before. Curious where you're getting your numbers. 20 years ago "YouTuber" wasn't even a profession. The idea some rando with a microphone and a camera could make millions was unheard of. It's only possible with ads.
I'm using Fastmail and have been super happy with them. I need to start looking into replacements for business suites though, since clearly Google Suites/Workspaces/Domains (whatever they're calling it this week) is making seriously unethical choices.
Breaching privacy, having a detailed dossier of my online behavior, is itself a harm done onto me.
Installing Modern Debian on a Power Mac G5 [video]
Thanks but I'll take the ability to write arbitrarily complex type-checks over anything else. As a C++ dev who goes out of his way to express things of the type system this has only ever been a positive for me, the loss in compile-time is more than offset by the ability to eliminate whole classes of bugs in one go.
Without knowing what country you're in, I suggest that your comment indicates that Europe has more strict laws about tracking than your own country.
Don't forget the other advantage of Gmail over other webmail hosts back then: the amount of free disk space they gave to every account was HUGE. And if you wanted regular mail clients, IIRC Gmail always allowed you to use a traditional mail client, both over IMAP and over POP3.
This suggests it’s only for livestreams coming from new accounts, not videos uploaded in regular YouTube style.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think this is fine. YouTube is a platform for content creators and they don’t want their services becoming a platform for throwaway viral live broadcasts.
To be frank, the practical result of GDPR is that it made my browsing experience worse.

Nearly every website opens with an annoying cookie popup, often blocking the content (or reducing it to a fraction of my screen on mobile).

I've never once clicked "Yes, track everything", except by accident when tricked into it by deceptive UI (eg. a button designed to look more inviting than its less invasive counterpart).

I get that wasn't the intent, and there are less intrusive ways for companies to comply. But the result we ended up with is a mess.
Can confirm. Unfortunately, Postman is too resource-hungry (on Ubuntu). Launching is taking a while as well.

I have to admit I'm quite surprised that VS Code (which is also an electron app) is relatively fast and resource-sensitive. Having open a few applications in my daily workflow, moderate resource consumption is getting an important selling point for me.
US policy regarding prosecution of leaks, suppression of journalists, etc is mostly independent of which President sits in the White House. The fact that you believe otherwise shows that you have massive blinkers on - propaganda has successfully done its job.
Google results are shockingly bad now. For searching documentation or Stackoverflow it can be fine, but for anything else, good luck. I know that blogspam has floated to the top for years, but it seems like it's gotten even worse in the last couple years or so. Googling for random information, or trying to find a good product recommendation returns absolutely useless blogspam results where it seems to be strings of text copy-pasted into giant "articles" that are just lists of questions and answers that I assume was cobbled together by a bot.

I dread if Reddit going public ruins the site (well, ruins it more than the redesign did), because currently, appending "reddit" to your query is the only way to get results that seem like they're actually written by a human.

edit: oh, and in regards to his bit about web notifications -- I totally agree that they're one of the worst things to happen to the web, and it's the one web standard I'm actually happy Apple refuses to implement in Safari. It's only used maliciously, and it's a horrible UX. The amount of times I've looked at the notification shade of a non-tech-savvy Android user's phone and seen a bunch of ads from random websites, it's obviously not worth it. Users have been so trained to click "ok" and "accept" on the millions of popups that are shoved in their face as they try to navigate the web, it's no wonder they're enabling notifications on every website they enter. Get this stupid popup out of my face so I can see the content!
Considering he is being investigated, any lawyer would have told him to lay low and just enjoy his money for the new 2-3 years. Nothing here is surprising.
On the one hand, kinda scummy, on the other, do we really need more "Elon musk crypto scam live streams"?
I switched to brave search, it just works like google, no problems
It doesn't really matter "how much" data. What matters is the type of data and whether or not it's strictly necessary to deliver the content.
Nah this seems to be fake, right? Haven't seen anything like this besides screenshots
If my something changes, and someone "remembers" it always being like that, that sounds like gaslighting.
> Do you mean delivery drivers refuse to pick up from there? How is that a customer's problem?

It's not (necessarily), but it's not the drivers' problem, either. It's the restaurant's problem—just like it's their problem if no customers want to do business with them because their food tastes bad, or if their suppliers refuse to do business with them because they're always late paying invoices, etc.

> That's a potential breach of contract between Uber and the delivery drivers.

You can't have a breach of contract for contracts you don't pick up... Or are you implying that you believe the relationship between Uber and their contractors is/should be one where the driver has to take every offer that Uber sends them? If so, are you a freelancer? How would you feel about an arrangement where, because you agreed to work with Marcy in Q2, then when Albert comes to you in Q3 and wants some work done, you have to take it no matter how bad Albert's offer is—e.g. one which very well might turn out to have you working for less than minimum wage—or without regard for whether you find Albert to be a loathsome, demanding prick?

> FedEx/USPS doesn't manage the customer relationship, doesn't broker the transaction

Neither do UberEATS drivers. That's the entire point of the metaphor. (Having said that, I misread your original comment, which other comments have pointed out.)
That's not what happened though. Telemetry uses the same networking stack as everything else, and the busy loop was in the networking stack.
That's worse, it implies with enough money, something designated historical for cultural reasons can be bought, modified, commodified, or changed to accommodate the whims of one exceptionally wealthy man.
Abortion is a can of worms which combines many underlying power issues, from the obvious issue of personal freedom that usually gets discussed, to the need of capitalism to be able to double the work force[1], to eugenics and demographic control [2], to the most fundamental power issue that is who gets to decide what it means to be human and when does human life start.

> Lol how did I know this "sexism and racism" was about white men before even clicking

Because we've all become accustomed to expect it from SJWs like herself. You're only making my point for me.

Just calling blatant racism and sexism out was enough for you to make a throwaway and post a reply to my factual comment. Out of the woodwork comes the triggered snowflakes. Sad.
Crazy idea: are there enough space nerds who would pay for a small momento piece of ISS that it might be worthwhile to disassemble it in space and bring parts back to Earth?
