while that could be preferred, here's some reasons why it may not be

1. pre-existing behavior. maybe queries have only started getting big enough to where this mattered, but all of our existing clients communicate the original way and won't migrate

2. more complex behavior on clients and services as you've now introduced a new stateful resource between client and service. should clients store query ids, or does the service handle idempotency? what db does the service use to store queries? how do we limit stored queries? do clients have to manage number of queries stored? does the service?

I usually describe my "smart" TV (and all of them, really) as a bargain basement smartphone with an incredibly nice screen. All of the same issues - bare minimum specs to operate the thing in a typical fashion, lack of software patches and bundled "apps" that stop getting updates after a couple of years, questionable privacy policies, etc.
Yes! It can make a big difference! For instance: in a single-writer many-read-replica deployment, GETs might be routed automatically to replicas, while POSTs might have to be routed to the writer. You can design around it (for instance, route everything to replicas, catch exceptions on writes, and replay to the writer), but it's simpler and marginally faster to simply distinguish based on the verb.
"It corrupts everything it touches into a constant hustle for eyeball-cash and an entire generation has now civilzation and there's been no going back."

Nasty side effects: journalism suffers as "tech" prospers, less well-informed, more polarised society, freedom of the press is threatened (now by "tech" intermediaries, in addition to governments), justice system competes with "cancellation", etc. via "tech" intermediary "platforms"

Consider downstream effects of all this on governance

Journalism has declined in quality. But "tech" does not provide a solution or even a viable alternative, it is the cause.

With journalism, advertising once supported far more unbiased reporting. This was too long ago for many younger folks to remember. People born into a world of "tech" companies happily accept today's lower quality "news"; many even try to profit from it. With "tech", advertising tends to support increased digital surveillance. Not a net gain for humanity.
This is the current business model of Destiny 2: there's free to play, with expansions you can buy for a one-time cost to give you more content, or microtransactions for cosmetics.

They all say this and … that’s just marketing/bs. How in the world aren’t they competing ? They are all battling for a limited ressource which is your video game budget.
Nah. Most non-techies I've talked to about this are very frustrated with the move to touch screens and "smart" features they never use. This is particularly true, basically universal, among people over 50.

Well, error analysis is one of the most abstruse areas of mathematics.
To reiterate the question, why is that?
Generally agree, but on the other hand, the game feels a LOT better since since the Activision divestment.

In the last 12 months narrative team of Destiny 2 have REALLY knocked it out of the park, with the seasonal plot actually making sense and having some interesting activities (like Battlegrounds). Some significant improvements in QoL too.

While there definitely gaps as you say - the New Light experience in particular needs some serious work - so long as Sony lets the team continue on its current trajectory, there may be hope.
> Why is this considered an upside?

I agree with all the reasons given in the article - namely that it's easier to tell with your peripheral vision if a needle has moved a small amount or a big amount than it is for your brain to register the difference between 69 and 71 and then think about whether that's significant, compare it to the limit, etc.

There have been a number of research prototypes in that direction including Susan Dumais' Stuff I've Seen [1], which was Windows desktop-oriented but I think had the right idea.

> much knowledge work involves finding and re-using previously seen information. We describe the design and evaluation of a system, called Stuff I’ve Seen (SIS), that facilitates information re-use. This is accomplished in two ways. First, the system provides a unified index of information that a person has seen, whether it was seen as email, web page, document, appointment, etc. Second, because the information has been seen before, rich contextual cues can be used in the search interface.

Might be worth revisiting their papers to see what they learned.

But this is just a single person's viewpoint. It's not like the BBC is taking the position that husbands who beat their wives actually love them. And in fact, you will find many abused women who, yes even in 2022, would say something like that.
If you watch the episodes that are controversial the citations are WHO or studies from Israel / Great Britain / Canada (I don't know them verbatim but this is what I remember - been a month or so). I would make the claim that if you actually watch these episodes the two guests sound very reasonable and have no citations that are "crackpot" in nature. Getting information indirectly is a big problem. He talks to people for three hours, how do you condense this to a five minute read? Before dismissing actually take a look. Watch the episode and see if anything they say sounds unreasonable.

Its too bad your experience with automatic climate control systems is so terrible. I'm of the exact opposite experience. I recently had to have my car in the shop and as a rental they gave me a mid-tier level Nissan Sentra with manual climate controls. I absolutely hated having to manually adjust the climate, usually 2-3 times every trip. Why would I want to fiddle with climate controls when it could be entirely automated?

I haven't really had to adjust the climate controls in my current car since I bought it, aside from pressing the defrost button a few times. During that time outside temperatures have ranged from 15F to 110F, and my car is always comfortable inside. Even the heated steering wheel and heated seats are automatic, I haven't had to manually control those either. Automatic climate control has worked very well for me across 4 different models of cars ranging from a 2000 Honda Accord, a 2012 Ford Focus, a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, and a 2021 Mustang Mache E. All of them pretty much never required me to adjust it day to day, and I would go weeks to months without needing to do anything.

Given that you're talking about only being able to set the temperature selector down to 65, it sounds like you're doing automatic climate control wrong. You're going to have a bad experience if you're always setting it to max cold or max heat instead of just picking a comfortable temperature in the middle and letting the car get to that temp. Sure, it'll take a minute or two before it starts blowing air, because usually the AC needs to really start cranking before its doing anything or it takes a bit for the heater core to warm. During that time you're not really doing much blowing around the air, in fact you might make the experience in the car worse blowing non-conditioned air around.

Just like in your house, setting your AC unit to 60F isn't going to make your AC unit run harder. Do you go to your home thermostat and drag it all the way one way when you're warm, then drag it all the way to the other direction when you're cold? No, you set it for a comfortable temperature and let the system hold it there.

My first step to trying to understand an unfamiliar equation or proof is, if I am to have any hope of figuring it out, always breaking it down by term and operation and figuring out WTF each one means in context. Usually on paper. In normal words. Typically I end up turning it into something more "algorithmic" (OK, what happens as the value "passes through" this operation, and then on to this next one...). I'm 1000% useless at understanding equationally- or identity-focused writing, and have to both painstakingly decipher every term and translate it to something more algorithm-like before I can do anything more than stare at the page and drool.

So... yes, I do think it would help if at least some of that were already done for me. As it is it takes so damn long that I don't bother unless I have a good reason.

I recently, for no particular reason, have been watching some of the top videos on YT over a couple of months.

I noticed many (most?) of the top comments are made by accounts that on a closer look are promoting or even selling what must be some kind of scam or MLM. Would be fair to call them submarine comments.

Several of them were even verbatim duplicates of other comments on the same video. I got the feeling that a lot of this is automated, and not by the people supposed to be running the platform.

Just open up the YT front page in a clean unpersonalized session and go into those Minecraft/Fortnite/whatever that tend to end up high in the rankings and you’ll probably see what I mean.

It's not good to gaslight people and lie to them. But sometimes you need to have a more direct conversation with someone in a 1x1 than is appropriate to have in a larger group. And sometimes you need to motivate someone in a specific way (performance issue, etc) that may not be right to demonstrate broadly. For instance, in a 1x1 "Jon, I really need you to get the signup flow working as you haven't been meeting your estimates or deadlines at all" ... and then to the team "let's get the new signup flow working, we think it will increase user engagement!"
I'm very anti-advertising but I think from a production standpoint this is yes and no. Without advertising, it doesn't make sense to put in the capital expenditure to create new products that require a high upfront cost because there's no demand for it. Advertising is used to create demand. Under a different economic model, this feature of the production environment would not be as necessary.
I always had adblocker since I got internet, someone told me to use it to reduce my internet bill when I paid per Mb. I always had AdBlock+ , it was the first thing I installed on my PC, always. I started seeing people complaining on too many ads on random websites and youtube, but I never noticed YT had ads until I saw discussions on it on reddit. Now I'm full time adblocker, Brave, µblock and DNS ad-blocks in OpenWRT.

I think my habits and me installing adblockers for everyone resulted in worse web for everyone else, the more people block ads, the more ads there will be for the rest.
Sorry I wasn't clear. The lack of defined behaviour for bodies in GET is an example of harms arising from REST obsession. It's clearly a useful thing but because it goes against the intended design it's treated as a bad idea. It just feels like REST discussions are where the strongest divide between pragmatism and bikeshedding occur.

I believe this was when youtube was growing.

I believe youtube was growing at this time.

I personally don't remember it being that toxic. But even if it were whose responsibility should it be to deal with the toxicity? The platform's or the content creator's?

There's a saying that's oft repeated "dont read the comments section". That's a strategy in line with the approach I'd endorse. We shouldn't be censoring information just because its "toxic", people need to find ways to withstand or ignore or deal with the criticism that exists in the world.

People develop weak immune systems if they are protected from everything, it's not just a biological thing. The American mind is as coddled as their biological immune system. We should be teaching people how to deal and withstand criticism whether valid or caustic. Otherwise we get this mad world where no one can offend anyone and you can't even tell clinically obese people their body is not healthy.
Thanks!

I wasn't able to hunt that down.
To me, this seems like Sony investing in a studio (and property) that has game-as-a-service title chops. MMOs like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14 create a steady, predictable stream of income. While Destiny 2 doesn't have a monthly subscription, its regular content updates do create money on an annual basis, with aesthetic microtransactions to boot.

Contrast this to first-party Sony studios like Naughty Dog, which will take a minimum of several years to develop a game like The Last of Us or the next Uncharted. Even if you extend the moneymaking tail by trickling out DLC for a year or two after release, you're basically betting on a hit that will produce enough money at one time to justify paying several hundred salaries for several years after that. It's not hard to see why Sony would want a regular moneymaker in the difficult-to-break-into GAAS space.

And for Bungie, they've openly confirmed that they've had incubation projects for several years. Getting a gigantic publisher like Sony will give them the financial freedom they need to start building out whatever the next game is. This was basically the logic with the Activision partnership: they needed deep pockets upfront to build out the tech that powers Destiny. That done, they were able to return to their complete independence. Will it happen again?
I find this hilarious, especially since they brag about having "Google inside", which already sounded more like a confirmation to me of a dystopian timeline rather than a feature.

With exception of the security guards, your experience is spot on with one of my experiences working for (and through) a Vista acquisition.

To me the morale killer was the constant change. HR constantly opening positions and then freezing hiring before we could hire somebody, resulting in so much wasted time interviewing people. We'd work on big project for a while, and then leadership would change directions and all that was a waste. By the time the 5th person on my team left, it was hard to not feel like everyone was graduating but I was the only person who failed in my senior year and was left behind.
Sorry but I really don't think that was a borderline call!

> This perpetuates the myth that HIV is mainly a problem for gay people. Can we change to another article, such as [1]?

But how is that a myth? The US Gov site [0] that is linked in the engadget article literally states that

> HIV continues to have a disproportionate impact on certain populations, particularly racial and ethnic minorities and gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.

Fruther down:

> Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM)b are the population most affected by HIV in the U.S.:

> MSM accounted for 69% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States.

While I agree that the focusing only on LGBTQ+ as a group is not an ideal way to put it, there is no myth in claiming that gay/bisexual men are at the highest risk of getting it.

One on ones are a very good tool. In someone with good training and in a good job environment are incredible to gather feedback, make sure that the company environment is good, and it's an opportunity to help individuals with the kind of problems that is hard to talk in public. Finally, even in functional companies, employees may feel unsure about their performance. Regular meetings help to dissipate any doubts.

That the article also applies it to personal life makes sense. It's not just a company tool.

If you have been in a company where ones on ones were bad or counterproductive be open to think that it may be a problem on how it was used not inherently a problem with the tool.
Good advice thanks
Ads are everywhere - in articles, social media, blog posts, streaming services, etc. Our online and social media activities are monitored to target us with ads with or without our consent. Constantly enhanced algorithms are used to match the ads with the end user. When it comes down to it, the average person has very little to no agency in how they consume advertisements.

With recents trends, the line between content and ads are blurred. On social media platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram, advertisers are investing in interesting and fun ads to connect with their audience. In response to this marketing effort, users have become more and more engaged in ad content, and are actually enjoying scrolling through these ads.

Adlish is a newly-launched transparent ad platform that champions ads as primary content. Users can create and enjoy a personalized ad feed for an optimal window shopping experience.

Unlike other ad spaces, we don’t secretly track users to decide what ads they see. We let the user choose categories of interest and decide exactly how much personal information they want to share. We believe that by empowering users, we can create a more positive relationship between advertisers and consumers.

Adlish is an app just for ads. Let us know what you think. Do consumers care enough about transparency to use this service? Are we underestimating the negative connotation that can sometimes come with the word ‘ads’? Download the app and tell us your thoughts!
I assume they don't do it because they are scared of being responsible, not because it's technically difficult. It probably helps that the communication is separate from Roblox because it's harder to manipulate a kid on two separate channels together (in the same ways it's hard to actually get two kids connected that want to be connected).

Though Facebook also has some advantage because they are already maintaining a bunch of relationship information and they use that to bootstrap Messenger For Kids since one of the common patterns is parents become Facebook friends with clear identities and then they connect their children.
Grandparent post is nuts. Youtube comments are mostly full of repetitive jokes in the current meme formats. Sometimes there is a quality contribution, but it probably won't be near the top.

This does vary by channel of course, but if you're talking about a popular channel that shows up for non-logged in users like LockPicking Lawyer then the comments will consist of the same tired and lame but highly upvoted jokes in every thread. Maybe if you scroll down far enough you'll get an anecdote about the company that manufactured the lock or something, but never above the "lol, it just falls apart when LPL looks in its direction!" comments.
