Yeah, maybe. That could be the reason, or an additional reason.

I think if I had to eat only one kind of food that I really like (not cheese because there's such a huge variety that it wouldn't really count as "one") I could just about manage to eat only that for two weeks. After that I think I'd be craving something else.

Of course, that could also cause me to over-eat to try and make up for the craving. Anyway I don't think this is such an easy diet as the article here makes it sound like.

Anecdotally again, the only time I went on an "eat-only-x" diet was during a heatwave when I spent a week or two eating only teaspoonfulls of peanut butter and drinking milk kefir. The reason being that it was so hellishly hot that I couldn't stand the thought of cooking or eating anything more. I think I lost a few pounds during that time.
Sure, but there's a time and place for everything. I think this is the wrong place and time.
> I find it very frustrating as it is difficult to maintain focus when the teaching material deliberately breaks it

Different people learn in different ways. For me it's the exact opposite, in longer sessions my brain just shuts off after 15-20 minutes. And this doesn't only apply to videos, so school wasn't particularly fun. I'm glad online content is often more focused.
Yes, maybe my 2-3 years is optimistic. I think ultimately it’s JS APIs for the native controls that need to be exposed rather than better contenteditable.
that's because "rich text" is at odds with everyhting the web is supposed to be... like separating structure and semantics from styling with html and css etc.

sure, the "semantic web" failed, but that's the history

you were not supposed to be able to control how content looks like on the web, this was supposed to be the choice of the browser customized by the user (eg. a user could set his browser to render sci-fi topics web pages text with font X and financial news with font Y min-size Z etc.)

"web design" is something that should't have ever existed or had any reason to even be a concept...

it all went off-the rails in the real world ofc, but this was the real context and dream of the web and its tehnologies as they were designed and standardized
Apple thinks (and I'm inclined to agree) that no browser engine is safe enough to be on the platform but as there has to be at least one by necessity, they might as well reduce the attack surface by restricting it to a single one that's tightly integrated with the OS security measures and which is updated together with other OS updates.

I think I enjoy backend work more, however in my 3 years of working I didn't really experience those complex distributed apps to work on.

I've been mainly working with really simple CRUD apps. 1 server apps kind of things.

That's why I'm also afraid that I won'be fit and good enough to work on those big complex apps.

It's not about the money, but the prestige. Champions League is plenty prestigious, but the World Cup/Euros/Copa America provide an extra stage, a national one at that.

Iceland, Croatia, Denmark are recent national teams that went much farther than expected, to much national acclaim ( the whole country celebrating their success). For many players that makes them national heros, and brings them pride and prestige. And there were a lot of players on those teams who were not superstars winning the Champions League regularly.

This is such horseshit.

First, the $150k is at the time of child’s application, not over their entire life.

Second, college tuition has been increasing at highly variable rates so I doubt anyone would have guessed that tuition would increase 8%/year for 18 years.

Third, four years of Dartmouth tuition is $300k. Let’s graciously say the average income over the kid’s 18 years is $100k. That means that that parents would need to save $16k/year or 16%. There’s no tax deferred program that allows $16k/year so factor in tax dollars.

Fourth, families frequently have multiple children. So if they have two, you think parents should save 30% of their income for college? Or if 3, 45%?

It’s funny how people imagine $150k is some massive amount of money. And it’s a decent living, but it’s not something that paying an extra $6k per month is possible.

The problem with asking browsers to implement it is that every browser will implement it differently, and almost everyone will need some extra functionality not covered by browser implementations, so almost everyone reimplements it from scratch (or use one of those reimplementations) anyway. It’s the same story with <audio controls>, <video controls>, <select>, etc.
if a man travelled to USA with a 10 year old wife he could end up in prison for decades, while in many cultures such an arrangement is normal and accepted. if we wanted to achieve "absolute tolerance" we would simply have to remove all laws because they are all intolerant in some way against someone.

tolerance does not mean that we have to accept the behavior of people who act in ways which are offensive to us. tolerance is the mutual respect of eachother's boundaries, namely that the people who visit Qatar respect the culture and laws of the country, and the people of Qatar in return respect the rights and freedom of those visitors
True, it's still worth doing though. That's one of the reasons for alt, longdesc, and aria-describedby attributes.
Technically, while these acts may well be deemed illegal in that country, throughout the World Cup authorities will be turning a blind eye to these indiscretions.

The whole Qatar bid has already been tainted with accusations of FIFA corruption, so they both can't afford for this World Cup to be anything but a complete success.

Countries like France, Germany, Holland, USA or any of the major football nations that qualify for this World Cup are not going allow their citizens to be sent to prison for seven years over a one-night stand.

Steel, regardless of quality, was an expensive commodity up until the early 20th century. Up to then iron to steel ratios were roughly around 9:1, maybe even with a higher iron rate in pre-modern periods. Then it flipped, and today you have a hard time to get simple iron at all.

One of the reasons steel weapons were reforged, faulty blades reworked. And handles, as well as the inner parts of the blades, used to be iron. Also in Japan sometimes. Simply because it is cheaper, and the sharp edges between handle and blade are less brittle and this less critical during heat treatment. And heat treatment of non-standardized steel is a black art indeed.

That being said, European blade making was shared enterprise since the earliest days. One general contractor signed with a customer, then he sub-contracted a smith for the blade, one for the cross guard and handle, one for polishibg, one for scabards and, if was not the same guy, one for assembly. That's were the english word cuttlery comes from. Otherwise a single smith would produce maybe a dozen blades per year, maybe even less. Not even close to what was needed.

They do have one for their own use. It's called X5 engine; developed by tencent. It is also used in one of the browser that mainly used in China (To be honest, it actually done much better than safari, I seldom need to handle issue specific to it except some missing API. Apple just choose to ignore)
> especially with the play store tax

It's the cost of the acquisition channel not a tax. And if you want to build a successful business then you better understand the difference.

Because these days you will likely need to pay for other channels as well e.g. SEO, Paid Ads, Referral, Influencer etc. And the challenge is how you can afford this when your app is only a few dollars.

Which is why most newer startups are doing free apps with a subscription add-on.
> In high memory allocation applications a GC can be more efficient than direct heap allocations.

Anybody who cares about allocation speed in C or C++ (or Rust or <insert low level language>) will use arena / bump / slab allocators. GC is more efficient when you're writing naive code and you don't get to write naive code if you care about speed / memory usage.

I'm not saying it's not possible to reach or surpass C-like speeds with Go, but when comparing C to higher level languages with GC there should be an asterisk next to the statement you're making.

Minimizing the footprint of your laptop (on your bedside table) (2009)
I know. The APIs offered by browsers for editing text are less than ideal, and require a lot of work to make something robust. That being said, my point stands. If something is not easy it doesn't necessarily mean that is not worth doing. I have my opinions about how text editing should work in my software, and it is my job to design and develop a solution that fullfills my vision. I will take working around the browser APIs every day instead of fighting a library developed to fullfill a different vision, that adds layers of indirection on top of the same problematic browser APIs.

I'm sure society collectively will eventually figure out the correct form-factor and legislation for electric vehicles. I don't know what we'll eventually settle on, but I'm sure it won't look like hydrocarbon-powered cars with electric engines.

> total healthcare expenditure is somewhere around double that of most other first world countries with more universal healthcare systems, for worse outcomes in many objective measures

I've seen this many times but it makes a meaningless healthcare = health correlation .

America has lots of systemic problems that affect health outcomes that are outside of healthcare. Low quality fast food, food addiction, industrialized farming, corn subsides, food deserts, deceptive food marketing to name a few.
Probably best to outline a specific threat model. What is the danger, which the tools you mentioned would make safer?
It would work with legislation if the loss of personal data of third parties induces extremely high fines that it simply isn't worth it anymore. Fines that could almost ruin even large players. Exception has to be business data since there is simply no alternative but the distinction isn't as trivial as it seems at first.

Since many would not be able to store user information they are reliant on people hosting themselves or at a service. I know it is difficult to explain that having control about your data is important and probably the most significant barrier. There are non-technical people that value privacy and data protection but most of them are highly educated.
> Building a browser for the modern standards-based web is effectively impossible, because it costs too much, takes too long, and requires a standing army to keep up with.

> We are at an impasse. The standards cannot be deprecated because they are used all over the web, and because they are used all over the web a new browser maker has little choice except forking chromium or firefox.

could web assembly be a way out?

the browser just becomes an execution engine, the current "web stack" becomes a (cacheable) downloadable library, meanwhile other languages, ui frameworks etc can flourish in the browser (now a much more simple thing that anyone can implement)

maybe just pie-in-the-sky?
How can market share not be part of the discussion concerning who controls the web?

You wrote:

> The fact that both Brave and Vivaldi were able to disable Google's FlOC within a very short period of time

Okay, they disabled some stuff. That isn’t a fundamental divergence from the upstream project.

The original argument was that Google wouldn’t control the web in a Chromium monoculture because anybody can just fork it.

I disagree. My argument has two prongs:

1. A Chromium fork can only sever itself from Google’s control if it is not taking patches from upstream (ie, Google). I’m particularly thinking about the most consequential pieces: web APIs, not Google ad tech. That’s going to require an army of developers who now are immediately thrust onto the web API treadmill.

2. If a Chromium fork’s market share is tiny, how is it going to displace Google’s influence on the direction of the web? It isn’t. Everybody will still be coding against Google’s Chromium.

This looks like a really cool topic... but you need to know the basic definitions in order to understand the article or its parent.

Quoted so you don't have to dig for it:

What is a busy beaver?

Consider Turing machines with fixed numbers of states and symbols.
If there are k states and n symbols, then the number of possible next move functions, or possible tables, is (2kn+1)^kn.
Thus, there are (2kn+1)^kn Turing machines with k states and n symbols.
Each of them can be launched on a blank tape, that is a tape with symbols 0 in all cells.
Then some of them never stop, and the other ones eventually stop.
Those which stop are called busy beavers.

Busy beavers compete in two competitions:
to take the most time to stop,
to leave the most non-blank symbols on the tape when stopping.
Lots of phones have really cool features but they're not widely adopted. Solid-state accelerometers were invented and then instantly adopted universally. Same for compasses and GPS receivers. Many features I imagined would become universal simply haven't. Periscope zoom cameras, for example, or HDMI-out desktop modes. Other great features were created and then fell out of favor, like rear-mounted fingerprint readers and notification LEDs.

I'm of the impression that we can't use our own oil because our refineries largely aren't equipped to process it (different kinds of oil require different kinds of refineries, which is to say oil sort of isn't fungible), but rather our refineries are equipped to process foreign oil. So we can pump to our heart's content, but without the refineries we aren't able to use that oil.
It comes down to whether the cable is there already. If you were laying it, you'd probably go for fibre. But if you've got 1km of some poor quality cable there already, then spending $200 to get usable bandwidth might be a lot cheaper than laying something new.
I bought a UX course several years ago. Each video was over an hour.

I'm aware, but they both have the same effect on a non-adult with no other recourse, and they both generally have the same goal of teaching appreciation of "success" in different forms.

So charing the college student rent and bills is not providing a sense of self efficacy (I like you put it like that). I also agree its all to teach how to do something without it owning you, and it is a life skill not all have.
Something is wrong in this thread. People have misquoted me, twice. In this case you cut out "(arguably)" implying my position is stronger than it is.
