>So just because you can remove screws more easily you build better shelves?

probably you build the same quality shelves slightly faster, being able to build things faster allows you to learn faster, by not focusing mental and physical energy on the relatively stupid task of removing screws you have more mental and physical energy to focus on things that maybe actually help you build better shelves.

A lot of the badness of the apps however is somewhat business driven, dark patterns etc.
No, but I kind of miss it. My Facebook years were roughly 2008-2011, and they were magical. You’d talk with your friends in a fun, async, low stress manner, look at funny posts, hear about shitty but fun local shows, post literally random bs you were thinking. And people you know would really engage, Unironically and in good faith. I don’t remember a lot of clout farming in those days (MySpace had a decent amount, so I’m sure it existed).

I don’t think any other social media came close to how purely good Facebook was in its golden years. I’d love for someone to write a book on how it declined.
Web dev community should just acknowledge the simple fact that typesetting engine from 80s (HTML) and legacy hacks built around it (css and js) is not a good foundation for making modern apps.

It's like trying to build apps with a spreadsheet cells (it's actually possible, but we don't do it, thankfully) by throwing a lot of abstractions and frameworks on top of it that would hide the ugliness of the foundation layer.

Once this acknowledged, thing can start moving fast. A lot of good stuff has been developed and discovered in the web dev community, but the foundation of it is total and complete crap.

Also I believe we are in the good moment of time to build a better web, as there's virtually one major player in browser engines market and it's easier to experiement with adding support for new foundation layers (think wasm or dart vm).

But so far, no matter how much hacks web community can come up with, web apps will be predominantly associated with horrible experience, performance and quality.
Clever presentation of the basics of how conspiracy theories begin, are substantiated, and then can (often) be refuted by zooming out and regaining a little perspective.

Disclosure: I work on Cloudflare on R2 so I’m a bit biased on this.

I think we’re going to put real pressure for traditional object storage rates to come down. Since Cloudflare‘a entire MO is running the network with zero egress. As we expand our cloud platform it seems inevitable that you will at least have a strong zero egress choice and if we do a good job Amazon et all will inevitably be forced to get rid of egress. Matthew Prince laid out a strong case for why either scenario is good for us in a recent investor day presentation (either we cannibalize S3’s business and R2 becomes a massive profit machine for us because they refuse to budge on egress or Amazon drops egress which is an even larger opportunity for us).

Products like Cache Reserve help you migrate your data out of AWS transparently from any service (not just S3) - you just pay the egress penalty once per file.

Anyway. I’m not saying it’s going to disappear tomorrow but I find it hard to believe it’ll last another ten years.
Yeah, of course this is a nudge system to help reduce speeding behaviourally.

They won't stop them - they will inform them through various means that they are speeding.

Eh, I don't really buy the whole fertility rate, depopulation stuff that Elon and the like have been disputing. I truly believe that was him signaling support for abortion ban without him signalling support for it.

One thing has been constant through history, population growth. I have seen no evidence that this is slowing, only that 'Developed nations' are having less kids. People seem to forget that develop nations don't really represent 'the world' as a whole. Southeast asia, India, rural parts of China, South America do not seem to have this problem and they represent that majority of the world as much as the west would like to hide that fact.

Also, we've already proved that artificial womb technology is theoretically possible... it's only a matter of a few generations until thats going to be abused.
But there's "broken" and "broken". If the author explicitly said "not for kids", why the hell would you override that? It's just asking for trouble.
> There's no such thing as a bigger inifinite?

Well, that is where the fun starts.

Take every natural number, assign a unique real between 0 and 1 to it. Put all of them under each other. Now take the 1st digit of the first number, 2nd of the 2nd and so on, set it to a different digit than the one you took.

Now you have a new, unique, real (Because it differs in at least one digit with every other real taken so far) but no more natural to assign it to.

I only really use these features on the motorway. I disengage cruise control and lane keeping assist using buttons on the steering wheel just before I exit the motorway.
Clearly I did not use the cruise control on a C road. The lane assist seemed to be always on though, no obvious switch and menus deep I could not find a way to turn it off. That and the fact it mistook ice for lane marking is crazy.

Bad UI? or just bloody dangerous?

edit: checked and apparently it is also on by default, no permanent off switch, and there were quite a few comments from owners indicating they couldn't find the switch.. so I don't feel so bad for missing it

It's legal, at least in the US, if there is a dotted or broken yellow line between the two lanes, the opposite lane is clear, and you have enough time/space to complete the overtaking before it swaps back to solid yellow. For obvious reasons, you generally want to spend as little time as possible in a lane that has traffic coming at you head-on.

This is because newer cards (beyond mifare classic) are secure from copying. These cards also have the ability to encrypt the communication. The technology required for replacing those cards with apps is possible, its the same as the apps that replace your debit-/creditcard.
> Knowing how terrible people are,...

I am probably just as terrible in their eyes.
I proposed a research project a decade or more ago at a university to use a simple light sensor to build an ultracheap location device. It would use light intensity to figure out when sunrise and sunset were along with an internal clock. I have the details archived somewhere, but while it was super cheap it was not fast. It would take a day or several days to get a location approximation, and it could possibly be fooled by mountains or hills causing sunset or sunrise (or both) to occur later (although I think that as long as it had some exposure to outdoor light it would probably still work, since sunset behind a mountain is not the same as actual sunset). It needed a fair amount of storage to store some lookup tables. Even so the idea was it would be able to calculate approximate location anywhere in the world at low cost. The use case I imagined was package and equipment (cars, bikes, tractors, gear) tracking, in part for theft recovery. If the system had a radio it could use opportunistic connections to send its estimates occasionally (every few days perhaps) to a remote system. While it had accuracy limitations it might have been useful to get an approximate idea of where anything with a small tag attached to it was in the world. Once you had a rough idea of where it was, that narrows the search for whatever is missing. When you get close to it the radio could help refine the search (set out some sniffers and wait for the once every few days ping to try to triangulate it.) It didn't really fit with our research groups expertise though and we never pursued it. The opportunistic network connections could have also helped zero in on the location.

I really liked using Corel Photo Paint for some early projects in the late '90s. Back when it felt like a black background and 3D textured buttons was a nearly cinematic experience. (Image maps in general were so easy to work with, and I still wonder if they couldn't have been adapted to the modern web with a bit more sensitivity or nostalgia)

Ten years later I reluctantly taught my Photoshop and Illustrator students how to use the built-in web export tools and was legitimately shocked by what they created. They totally got alt text and titles and things, too.

So, lesson learned; now there are some projects for which I really lean into the $app's built-in web export tools. Usually fast, easy, and appropriate to the project, rather than whatever happens when the output is compared against the entire web...
f.el and friends are useful, and add a lot of value. But elisp's function naming is all over the place and that can make it harder than it needs to be to find what you're looking for. That is also why people turn to libraries like f.el.

Emacs 28 adds a builtin Elisp cheat sheet command that collates a lot of Emacs's elisp functions into neat categories along with examples and hyperlinks to the manual. So, if you don't want a third-party library like f, dash, or s, you can give it a try first:

Well, I mean, in the sense that basically all historical ages are invented by people long after that time and would not have been recognized as such by the people who lived through it, then, no.

The early moderns didn't know they were in early modernity. The fall of the Roman Empire was constructed as a narrative long after the facts became clear. We don't know what age we are living in right now that will someday be named by future historians (probably as the "last bit before the climate went tits up" or words to that effect)

I have a car with an intelligent speed limiter.

It is dangerous.

I tried it yesterday for the first - and last - time. On the highway, it picked up a speed limit sign that was intended for the side lane, and started reducing my speed fast and unexpectedly.

I love the speed limiter, the dumb version. I think it's a super nice way to avoid accidentally going over the speed limit without having to keep an eye on the speedometer, and therefore off the road.

I would love to use an intelligent speed limiter. But let's face it, there are always cases where those things will fail unexpectedly and dangerously.

That's not even considering voluntary tampering with the road signs. What if I put up a 5km/h sign along the highway. How would the car determine it's bogus?

I wouldn't mind a global limiter that prevents going to unsafe speeds well over the highway speed limits.
The system acts slowly and and is only active if the driver has engaged it (like cruise control).

You'll be driving at 120kph and you'll notice the car has slowed to 118kph because it thinks the speed limit is 100kph. You push the accelerator and update the speed limit. Done.

I honestly can't see this causing an accident. The thing isn't performing an emergency stop or anything.
> Simply only use the Apple app store and you will have the same phone you had before.

That's not really true. Apps you need and currently use may well be moved from the Apple app store.

For example WhatsApp. Some people have to use it, not because they want to. Some have to use it for work. One day they may have to install the Meta app store to get WhatsApp, and agree to permissions and access to their personal data that they don't like at all, because there will be no gatekeeping pressure from Apple on WhatsApp to not do that.

Maybe Chrome, the world's only browser by then that most sites are tested on, will require the Google app store with special advertisement and behaviour influencing hooks enabled. Don't like them? No Chrome for you and your banking website doesn't work on your phone.

Regardless of what Elon is saying, it makes no sense to assume that exponential growth will continue forever. At some point (rather quickly), you run out of resources. Population growth at the global scale has begun to slow down. I don't know when it dips below 2.0 or gets to a stable state of 2.0, but it will eventually happen.

You're missing the point too. The App store did have some enforcement of privacy and security, which can't exist in a decentralized system that has now been enforced.

Sure, app developers would have more freedoms, but we're back to the OP's point - this is not a good thing as they too don't have the user's best interest in mind. Looking at the record of data breaches, I see it's Apple or Google who have held a high standard so far, while app developers have been rampantly abusing users for their own interests.

It seems that only the potential backers and accelerators are crying foul.

Yes, of course they would do that. Particularly, "Sanjeev Bikhchandani, executive vice chairman of the digital behemoth Info Edge that owns Naukri, Jeevansaathi, Shiksha and 99acres (the holding company is currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange)" types.

These 'backers' are usually penny pinching, non-risk taking, backers of only where monetization is clearly visible (essentially traders); are far cry from YCombinator types. 'YCombinator types' of backers are very easy to talk to when you have big ideas and/or fundamentally good, without having much clue about monetization. Trader type of backers will snuff you out or would ask you to circle back when you have millions of downloads and have $hundred thousands of ARR.

In the article itself towards the bottom half gives founder's perspective (which is all that matters)..

Indian tech startups are increasingly registering in the US, and other foreign countries as new founders get easy access to global funds in that way. If one is a founder with a long-term exit strategy, incorporating the company abroad is a default option.
100 years is a long time for humanity to look into ways to counteract time travelling trolleys! Sure it _says_ the future trolley will kill 5 people, but if I were in that situation I'm fairly sure I wouldn't be so certain.
In your "political" example: Do you want a guaranteed bad outcome now, or what we expect to be the same bad outcome later?
This is what really struck me when I tried some game dev in my free time. All that experience and intuition that makes me feel smart was missing. I imagine the feeling is significantly more intense when you're literally studying the unknown.
Interesting article but title seems off considering:

>India tech and software companies have been doing this global restructuring for a long time, especially in the last 15-20 years

and

>only a founder can make the ultimate decision to this effect

So basically YC gives them the choice and founders take it and they'll have done if any foreign investor had come, probably even if had not.
The point about the Gregorian calendar being off by only 10 days instead of the expected 13 is especially interesting because it's easy to see how you could regard it as a sort of "smoking gun" of the Phantom Time Hypothesis. The supposed lack of archaeological evidence is suggestive, but can be pretty easily dismissed with "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." But here you have a prediction that about 300 years are missing and this would directly explain the observed discrepancy in the drift of the calendar.

As the author points out the problem is resolved because the Gregorian calendar reform only intended to reset the calendar back to the time of the Council of Nicaea, not the date when the Julian calendar was originally adopted.

It's a neat example of how a theory's smoking gun can sometimes have an entirely unrelated explanation and a warning that even when you think you've found conclusive proof, it's important to keep digging.
I think the theory that Tom Bombadil is Eru is fun, but in letter 181, Tolkien said:
“There is no ’embodiment’ of the Creator anywhere in this story or mythology.”
There's no free will in a clock but it's still interesting to watch the gears. And just because you don't have free will doesn't mean you don't have morals; even if you don't choose to do right or wrong, you can still distinguish them as separate concepts. And even if you can't distinguish morality, that doesn't necessarily make you amoral either. It's like being born to be an extra in a play and die once the play is over.

Internet archive and IPFS pinning on Filebase and web3.storage as well as your own IPFS cluster put together with volunteers. Also can look into Sia and Filecoin.

If you can get two other engineers to volunteer and about 5 or 6 volunteers for buying storage, you can cover all of the above in less than a month.

Easiest is probably Internet Archive though. With a torrent.

Look into CAR files. Once you get those it's easy to pin on IPFS with multiple providers. Some of them free or extremely cheap.

I take issue in such ideologically driven pieces of over-simplified, frivolous, and unhinged anti-intellectualism on a topic of such importance . It is contributing only negatively to the debate on such an important/vital topic to humanity. It gives false hopes and false ammunition for bad arguments for those who do not understand (politicians) to enable processes that do the exact opposite to the state goals (ie. Germany, EV cars, etc).

In the real world there are only trade-offs with any- and every-thing.
