Perl trends on the wrong side of the line. My experience with CPAN back in the day was that many packages (like the one for decoding URIs) were buggy and never got fixed.

With Scala I've personally seen a lot of cargo-cultism like: the actor based system that could get a 2x speedup on an 8-core machine w/o any knobs to turn that I replaced with a "pure Java" solution with executors and two knobs to turn that got a 7.8x speedup and the engineering manager who thought monads were a better way to do do error handling than exceptions but approved pull request after pull request that had no consideration of the unhappy paths.
Even Walmart’s website invited third party sellers.
This is a constant issue for me (Chrome on Android) on GMail's Web UI (yes, I insist on using the Web UI...). So many emails are entirely unreadable since they go right off the right side, and you can't zoom.
Is that the same intel that “forgot” to mention that they overclocked a demo cpu and used ndustrial water chiller?

> Lastly, people. The dirty secret of social media is that the core problem is people. On anonymous online spaces people are hateful and vindictive. They believe crazy shit and want everyone to know about it.

This is simply not true.

"According to the researchers, results from a major social media platform over a period of three years “show that in the context of online firestorms, non-anonymous individuals are more aggressive compared to anonymous individuals."

https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/why-ending-anonymity-wou...

All you have to do is look at twitter. The toxicity of blue-check mark people and the hideous cancel culture and attacks by non-anonymous individuals against non-anonymous individuals. When your identity is open to everyone, you have more stake in an argument/belief/cause/etc and it incentivizes you to be more extreme and toxic because your identity/social standing/group/etc is at stake.
Tracking from bank or both? Anyways, in Latvia we have similar system and it is a convenient way to authenticate within services where you MUST prove you are person X.Y.Z.

For example, some electric company, if you auth via this method, will provide you with contracts, electricity usage graphics for all the sites you own and and other info you must access as a customer. Same goes for recycling company. These usually provide a way to register using email matching whatever email you had in contract (thus linking to real person anyway)

And then for other services where you request some data electronically that they must "register" each request. For example request some extended data on land/house ownership. You can't have that with non-real-life identifiable entity.

So usually login via bank is an login option with companies you either have juridical relationships or you must provide real life identity where you would otherwise have to show passport in real life.
Back in the mid 2000's I tried to point out to the people writing the UK BIM standards why it was a bad idea to have all buildings drawn relative to the OS grid datum which is somewhere southwest of the Scilly Isles for exactly this reason. I even tried to explain that computers can't do accurate floating point calculations and they didn't believe me! And then CAD consultants are surprised when automatic 2D drawing generation from 3D models randomly fails to work properly (usually at 10pm the night before a big deadline) and then everyone wonders why architects are backwards and don't want to adopt 3D processes...
100% agree. I'd like to be able to tell mobile Safari to just ignore that setting. Maybe there's a way and I missed it. Wouldn't be surprised, these old eyeballs aren't what they used to be and that exactly why I want zoom to always work. Some of us actually need it.

Heck, back when I bought my mother her first iPad, this was the whole reason. She was getting eye surgery and wouldn't be able to see well, and would be stuck face-down for a couple weeks. I figured an iPad would be good, because she could pinch-zoom so the letters were two inches tall if necessary. It was a roaring success, but zoom=false defeats that.
How would this be different from plantuml?
I forget who said it, but one theory I've heard is that kids are naturally afraid of their parents and haven't built the ability to hold opposing views at the same time, so they have trouble reconciling these loving god-like figures they depend on 100% for survival and the total fear they have when the same figures are angry or disappointed in them.

Stories like Sleeping Beauty or ones with monsters allow kids to transfer those feelings of all encompassing fear to these bad guys, until they outgrow it and they're able to handle ambiguity.

That doesn't explain why the stories were originally told, but could explain their stickiness.

It still absolutely sounds like the Zoom product. :)

How about: "Please, stop preventing mobile users from using the zoom function"
Hey Facebook. People are sick of sifting through the bs on your service. They're sick of going to the trouble of posting pictures of their puppies without knowing you'll show those pictures to their friends, if your algorithm decides something else might rile them up more effectively and so drive their engagement.

So, I got an idea, Zuck! Move to the metaverse! Sell us expensive VR headsets tied to your services. That way we can go online and virtually harass each other in person (virtually). It'll be fun! It'll be bigger than Facebook! Go for it.
To me it looked like a low-code tool to automate "processes" like Zapier/ifttt and so on. Basically a glue between apps with a little python thrown in for transformations.
> Does that imply you can’t use Redux without React at all?

Yikes, I hope not. One of my favorite things about Redux (last time I used it, maybe three years ago) was that it was easy, and even natural, to build an API client library around it that could be used almost anywhere that JS will run, because it wasn't tied to React.
Hey man if you ever have kids and one of them, when he's eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug -- go easy on him.
(1) Basic work: File reuse It's best to use different email templates, whether it's for registration or for replying to customers. These files don't seem to matter, but they are crucial for anti Association. (2) Key work: Browser fingerprints should be different This step is a key step to prevent account Association. If you log in different accounts on the same browser fingerprint (i.e. the same browser), these accounts will be associated. To avoid this problem, you can use Virtual Browser. The Virtual Browser can create multiple browser files with different fingerprints, and only one fixed account is logged in to each browser, so as to prevent the account from being associated because the browser fingerprints are the same. (3) Detailed work: operation habits When operating these accounts, pay attention to the operation details. If it is necessary to conduct evaluation for the maintenance number, pay attention to batch operation, and do not conduct a large number of evaluation in a short time. Otherwise, it is easy to cause account association.

> Unfortunately people see accessibility as a burden that a small minority puts on the rest of us, but really it is something that benefits everyone

Depends on the individual case — I’ve seen entire projects get scrapped because it wouldn’t be feasible to make an “accessible” version. Some things just aren’t work for everyone and that’s okay.

> Buddhism is more a science of the mind, not a religion IMHO.

This is such an extremely new, contemporary, western interpretation of buddhism. It's not inherently invalid (or maybe it is! I'm not a buddhist) but it's not compatible with how most practitioners globally and through its history would view their beliefs and practices.

If you need to consider it "not a religion" in order to take it seriously you should probably challenge that constraint within yourself rather than ignore half of what the religion says about itself, on its own terms.
Postmark and DMARC Digests have been acquired by ActiveCampaign
How have they killed the competition when none has existed yet? Internet megaconstellations aren't even 5 years old as a technology accessible to consumers, Starlink is the first mover in the space and the infrastructure isn't even complete yet. You also mention SpaceX, but they revived competition in the industry and still maintain the lowest cost and highest capability in the industry despite having a massive tech lead.

The pricing increases have been stated as being to keep up with inflation and considering that inflation is currently at ~8.5%, a price increase of ~10% makes sense.
I'm a design engineer. I've been crossing components almost every day for over a year now. There is no end in sight and it is getting worse. Companies will start to fail in 2023 if they can't ship product. And then the ripple effect will start.

I doubt wafer manufacturing is coming back to the States in less than 10 years.

I'm not sure the best way to make laws, but something will be done when the damage is clear. Chinese sanctions wouldn't surprise me.
There's got to be some theory to balance aesthetics and readability.

I used to get into terrible arguments with a business partner about every web page I made. He'd say "the text is too big" or "the text is too small" and I'd point out that you shouldn't ever complain about that because you can use Ctrl + and Ctrl -.

I am thinking about UIs that work across desktop and mobile and would love to make peace with the scaling issues once and for all.
Downplaying the problems of the youth today because six hundred years ago kids had to deal with a plague, is a new one for me.

"You think you've got it rough? Well six hundred years ago there was a conquest of the Mongols. I bet you feel pretty stupid about your suicidal ideation now!"

This one-upmanship about the problems people face is toxic, and frankly boomer logic.
I'd be curious to see if a language developed with the idea that this is what it's going to do from scratch could do better than trying to bodge it on afterwards. Rather than pecking around what could be done literally decades after the language is specified, what if you started out with this idea?

I dunno. It's possible the real world would stomp all over this idea in practice, or the resulting language would just be too complex to be usable. It does imply a rather weird bifurcation between being in "the init phase" and "the normal runtime phase", and who knows what other "phases" could emerge. Although technically, Perl actually already has this split, although generally it can be ignored because it's of much less consequence in Perl precisely because there mostly isn't much utility to having something done in the earlier phase, unlike this hypothetical language.
We need to start investing in alternative energy because coal and oil are a very efficient energy vault. That vault gave us an easy leg up through energy manipulation/controlled release at a scale that is easy for humans to use. Fusion, solar, fission, etc. are all jumpstarted through this stored vault. Without it it is difficult to get materials built to even jumpstart us through the current knowledge base/technology chain. We will have to revisit a lot of technology if we don't use the next 100 years to step to another century or even millennium technology/energy chain.

e.g It is difficult to burn enough trees to extract enough electricity to mine and refine resources needed to build solar panels or even build wire for transport.
It seems like a good idea to avoid hiring people who won’t talk with women. But it seems so unbelievable that this was a common problem as this is something I’ve never witnessed in probably hundreds of interviews that included women interviewers.

I once worked for a company that had a Japanese client and the client wouldn’t interact with women leadership. This was back in the days when software was delivered on cd and they wouldn’t accept the cd from a woman. It really skeeved me out and I refused to be part of the ceremony.
Egress pricing 100 times lower than Amazon could be realistic (S3 egress costs between $50/TB and $90/TB, while Hetzner bills 1 EUR/TB, and Cloudflare is bigger than Hetzner).

Free egrees is weird. In particular using R2 to offer videos or other big downloads appears to be unrealistically cheap.

A $1/TB offer would still be very appealing, while allowing Cloudflare to break even on traffic-heavy use-cases.
Sites that make the video port smaller when you zoom in... I hope you get whats coming to you.
Deno Needs a Package Manager
Unfortunately this also disables it on sites where it makes sense. For example I have a simple tool to pick a random person or split people into groups https://playerone.kevincox.ca/

Without zoom disabled 5 people putting their fingers on a screen looks a lot like a pinch gesture. Disabling the default event handlers only works some of the time.

This is a common problem with the web, we can't have nice things because people use them poorly.
Lifting heavy with free weights.
no thanks. I don't want one account that apple/google/whoever can revoke and ruin my online life. fuck that. I'll take my chances with 2FA and passwords. When it finally gets breached (if you haven't been cancelled!) imagine how much one online cracker will able to do. This also allows them unlimited access to follow you all around and see what you do, where you log in, etc.
I enjoy fiction writing. It's a hobby with a very low cost / barrier of entry that can be very rewarding as well.
I sincerely hope you don't actually believe this. Reductionist statements like this which attempt to blame an entire generation for a world that few if any of them had any control over.

"Boomers" tried to scrape together a life and provide for a family within the rules of the world where they lived. They elected people to solve the problems that they knew about at the time, just like every other generation.
I've heard some people say that the stereotypical jock types, like a football team captain, are often pretty bright individuals.

Meanwhile, I am a moderately-intelligent software developer who pulled 280lbs on a deadlift the other day, and celebrated by playing videogames.

"Gifted" does not strictly need to refer to intelligence. Once can be gifted in health, looks, brains, or any number of actual talents or traits. Forrest Gump was dumb, but I'd hardly say he was incapable.
> ... a small minority ... presbyopia ...

I think what you just indirectly pointed out is that software is largely written by young, ignorant people who don't appreciate that everyone will get to experience presbyopia, and it happens sooner than you think. Maybe we should require product owners to be at least 40 years old ;-).
Google Trends for NFT
I know it wasn't really the point of the post, but this isn't the first time I've heard negative reports about IPFS. Which is a real shame, I've been following it for a few years now, it was one of the few crypto/blockchain products that actually seemed useful.
Cool but I'd much rather see someone sell a little server box where all I would need to do is plug it into my router and open up a port.

IE: If we are going to decentralize with Mastodon-style software lets actually decentralize the hardware used to host the system.
A flip side is that any bureaucratic mandate is a "free pass" to reject anything that's hard to find another justification for rejecting... In terms of institutional requirements it is a gift as much as a burden.
What's really weird is how some sites go out of their way to do this. IG for example, even on desktop, presents a fixed size image and prevents right-click operations on the image. Meanwhile, the full resolution image is actually available if you know how your browser works. Another example is video controls like scrub and speed being unavailable.

I would buy this if they downscaled everything before storing it; that would actually make sense. But it seems like they just want to "curate" your "experience"?
Pretty much. I’d say individuals without a clear moral center.
How is AARP still a thing. All I can see that they do is beg people to join starting when they are about 55. I don't see that there would be any benefit for doing so.
Really nice !

Today I learn that there is a 25 and 40G-BASE-T on copper, these PHY must heat like hell haha.
Have you read Klara and the Sun yet?
A clear business model and alignment of interests, as a customer. Also no lock in since the customer owns their domain.

How is SDF funded? How can anyone be certain it will continue to be funded, if it offers a service gratis that costs the provider money to operate? Is that funding source aligned with my beliefs and interests? These are questions you don't have when you just pay for things.

Another example: I use FastMail with a custom domain. Yes, I could just use Gmail, but I don't, for the reasons listed above.
What are you viewing the diagrams in? Maybe the problem is more with it than Mermaid?
Nice mode, which can be useful sometimes when the relation is lost or vague.
Right or wrong I like the way you think.
Great idea, would be nice to use this to compare different GUIs framework. Interested in c++ immediate GUIs, shadertoy.com like GUI and Red language https://www.red-lang.org/
This wouldn't be an issues if providers like Vimeo would soft delete and hard delete the items after a period of time, allowing recovery between.

Everywhere I have to implement a delete operation, I never hard delete data on first call.

Real-Time LaTeX Using Vim or Neovim
Except I am not advocating or glamorizing anything. I have no idea where you think "that path leads" or why you are equating having dinner every other day with having a disorder, anorexia of all things.
I kind of wish the author had lead with this instead of burying it at the bottom. For whatever reach the article gets, this is the part that's going to offer value to readers (it seems unlikely this article will sway a significant number of web developers to change their habits).
As an additional example, 110 years ago that same court ruled that “motion pictures” were not subject to 1st amendment protections. punting that to the states and straight up censorship boards for half the century.

a reality not revisited until the 1950s, where the supreme court bought it back under the federal domain, overruling itself because “obviously this has 1st amendment protections” and creating the “free speech and expression” reality that seems profoundly American, but really hasnt been for long.

you can have an opinion, but you need to incorporate what the court actually says and their logic behind. Just because a ruling is convenient for you or your causes (multiple times) doesnt mean its on solid ground. on this specific topic, its important to repeat over and over again that the federal government and even its supreme court could have reached the same outcome of privileging the pregnant person’s choice, but yes, that outcome would need to be closer to a math proof if from that court factoring in very different variables.

I get that its comfortable (or at least familiar) to view that the means justify the ends, where any authority using any rationale can extend rights that you like. I get that its scary that rights are so flimsy and people dont trust their states and that they will be immediately denied services they expected to be available. None of that lets the incorrect authority do its job wrong.
I once had a meeting were 3 coworkers and the CEO were all advocating for disabling zoom because, "other sites do it". I argued that it doesn't hurt anything to leave it enabled and refused to disable it. 3 months later Apple removed disabling zoom from Safari and I felt validated.
FWIW, I can zoom on all of the listed example sites using the pinch action on an iPad. (My eyesight is poor, and this is something I do often to read small text.) Is this something that’s dependent on the browser?
We have GDPR and consumer focused regulators in the EU. Our governments are actually out to protect citizens from corporate malfeasances, as opposed to either ignoring it, or out right enabling it.

If a company abuses this data, you have strong forms of recourse available to you as a citizen, and banks are incentivised to remove bad actors, to ensure they don't become embroiled in enforcement action triggered by a 3rd party.
> - so what happens if you don't have your phone at time of login?

Depends on if they allow you to turn off password+2FA login entirely, which I only see being possible with something like Advanced Protection Program[0] which can already be used to enforce "Only allow authentication with my password+security keys; there is no way for Google Support to remove 2fa; if I lose the keys, the account's lost".

> - if I enroll on iPhone, is my identity forever tied to Apple or can it be migrated to Android if I ever wanted to change platforms?

I imagine they'll say "login to each website" (which you can do via iOS if you use qr android login[1]) then "re-enroll with your new provider", but I hope there will be an actual export/import or migration experience.

> - Can Apple/Google/Microsoft ever block/ban my account, preventing me from logging into my bank, etc that use FIDO login?

Assuming they don't change how Chrome and iCloud keychain currently works, everything synced should stay on your already signed-in devices, so hopefully you can continue to use your devices as authenticators until you can log into each service and register a regular, hardware key for sign-in.

I was able to confirm that, by enrolling my iPhone as a security key on GitHub, then this 'BLE Webauthn' feature allowed me to sign in to GitHub on my desktop Chrome browser via my phone. Only downside to this is that the desktop must have a bluetooth card, but hopefully motherboards will continue to come integrated with wifi+bluetooth.
