I found that json-ld, json-hal and other "describe your json" standards were needed to make json human readable-ish. I hate that there are many competing standards and the link syntax feels clumsy.
JSON5 for "add comments, allow ES6 features" was perfect for private and in a small team use for a while.

No one seems to listen to the JSON inventor, who said he regrets creating a misnomer name and no successor should use the same naming parts, since it neither dependent on or compatible with JavaScript, nor was it only useful for storing and/or describing objects. (I am paraphrasing from my memory on his reasoning on both points.)

Open API 3 solved that problem for me, transforming JSON-RPC into a documentented API.
It seems counterintuitive that:

dhh has a talk about this general idea.

Writing software is such a _human_ thing. It has so much more in common with writing than it does with other kinds of engineering.

Most of what we're doing has to do with how to lay things out so that it's clear and easy for other humans (including the humans that write code) to understand, interact with, and modify. Any time you're dealing with humans brains, there's going to be a lot of complex subtlety in terms of what the "best" approach is.

But because it's software "engineering", people think we need to have fairly hard-and-fast rules about the right way to do everything.

I don't think many Christians have problems with killing (I've been told many a time that the whole "thall shall not" thing is problematic when it comes to translation, which sure... the word of god is pretty ambiguous I suppose).

So maybe god said not to kill or not to murder. Ok, the killing thing seems pretty simple, but the Catholic supermajority of the Supreme Court has no problems with the state killing someone, but they won't let a mother do it to her baby, so maybe in that case they think it's a murder, which is almost definitely against Christian doctrine, at least that part of the Old Testament.

I figured since it was so confusing, I'd just ask Jesus since he's God's messenger and he's got a facebook page where I can contact him. He's actually big on the first breath thing - they can just recycle the soul into another host body up until then anyway, but every once in awhile they fuck it up and put a male soul into a female body or vice versa and then that's a whole thing and The Republicans have a problem with that too.

> I've read the .gov.uk article and it's from 2020 and many of the issues are resolved in the years since it came out.

Reading that response was a surreal experience. "Many of the issues are resolved since it came out"... except for the important ones?

Here are the issues you rebutted:

- A number input blocks dictation and selection when using Dragon Naturally Speaking

- number inputs appear unlabeled in NVDA's element list

- plus, they look weird in NVDA's object navigation

- and they're unlabeled when using nvda+tab

But you appear to have confused the article section titled "Accessibility" with the concept of accessibility. Here are some accessibility issues, also mentioned in the article, that you didn't bother to address:

- Values in a number input are automatically rounded or even converted to exponential notation by the browser. Because while it might look like your credit card number is 4000 0566 5566 5556, what you want to put into the form is 4.000056655665556e+15.

- Safari 5.1 inserts commas into "number"s with at least 16 digits. (Yep, Safari 5.1 is old. It was also old in 2020. Doesn't make this less of a disaster for users on Safari 5.1.)

- Values within a number input change at random if the user's mouse has a mouse wheel.

Between the issues that have been fixed, and the issues that haven't been fixed... which ones sound like they're worse problems? Imagine this changelog:

1. NVDA now has better visibility into number input elements.

2. number input elements still don't work.

> The arguments made against the "numeric" field here are out of date, and not something I have ever ran into with my own testing.

You need to do some real testing. It's not hard to run into the mousewheel issue. I've run into it on multiple occasions. It is not necessary to dispatch mouse events to child elements - anyone who clicks on the input element to focus there has now positioned their cursor directly over the input element.

The only real alternative to growth is decline and eventually death.

This is true for companies, individuals, and even countries.

I say our obsession with _not_ growing must end!
That only solves part of the problem.

something like poetry's approach is the right one here; you need a list of core dependencies (not derived ones), you need a solver for when anything changes to find a new set of viable versions, and you need a lock file of some sort to uniquely & reproducible construct an environment.
I don't think economists use terms like 'growth' in a very consistent manner.

For example: trees are constantly growing in a forest, and trees are also constantly dying, but the overall population size (number of trees in a forest) remains generally stable, in the absence of major changes in climate and animal predation of trees (such as clear-cutting forests).

A lot of uses of growth in economics appear to be related to growth of rates, not growth of something like mass. For example, carbon flows through grasslands at a greater rate than it does in forests; the carbon in a grassland was in the atmosphere at most a few years ago while a tree in a forest can be several hundred years old. The rate at which money flows through an economy (less misers, basically, mean higher transactions) is linked to economic growth.

However, growth in terms of growth of the number of buildings in a city and numbers of humans in a city, that's absolutely tied to the amount of arable land each human needs for food production, so obviously that's not an open-ended system, and in particular, if there's not enough water then the land isn't arable.

Again, if a city of fixed size improves the average quality of life for its inhabitants, then that's a kind of economic growth, isn't it? Even if resource use (in terms of conservation of mass and energy) is fixed, you can still have economic improvements within that steady-state system, can't you?

Space migration is possible but would it matter?

You could build a big Mars settlement and that would have its own economy but how much would that add growth to Earth? Transit times are long and the cost to move goods is high for fundamental physical reasons, leaving intangibles as the only thing that could trade in really high volume.

I doubt an increase in software or media from Mars could compensate for limits to growth on Earth.

On a side note: I suspect that demand limits to growth from stabilizing or falling population and decreasing marginal utility of goods and services (“saturation”) will be as significant as limiters of growth as supply side limits.
We still have decades, maybe even a century or two, before humans become irrelevant. We should be happy we got our lives in right before.

How did you come to have the skills to design and build whatever it is you manufacture? I'm guessing you have a mix of mechanical and electrical background.

I always have ideas for little products (some involve electronics others not) I'd like to build, but how to go from raw idea in my head to working assembly, I'm lost on: choosing motors, control board, mechanical reliability, etc. Maybe I just need to read some ME books, but if they are like math and physics texts, there is gulf between the text how to do build something practical.
The pandemic made it clear that elites are ok with mass death and debilitation. It may not be a conspiracy, but people in power simply don’t care.

The electric cars I have tried all started regenerative braking when you let go of the accelerator. As an additional problem for bikes: they are rear-wheel drive and the primary braking power comes from the front wheel for normal bikes (load distribution shift to the front when braking). Cargo bikes and tandems are a bit of an exception here. I’m not saying it’s impossible - as I wrote above I know it exists. It’s just a lot of effort for comparatively little gain, and so it’s pretty rare.

tldr; I think this is just all an early "metaverse" enlightenment & look forward to a cool digital future.

1. Im not sure about all the doom & gloom. This more or less feels like a digital revolution... working mostly in style-transfer space myself. While AI-generated assets are awesome/compelling/shocking, the utility hasn't simply extended into complete automation of meaningful outcomes; so much as accelerated/enhanced digital workflows. & I think "meaningful" outcomes/digital creations will simply advance to require new skillsets.

2. A lot of engineering is still required in the applied domains. e.g. apply real style of some modern artist in new, generated, ways is rather complex and super manual (like re-training models built on wikiart, creating artist-specific datasets, etc). Even for pure-ai creation, the best generated artwork still requires a ton of nontrivial configuration, trial/error, etc... basically a whole new knowledge domain and skillset to acquire. CLIP/alike with diffusions setups have made things seem super simple, but a lot of work still goes into anything meaningful.

3. AI is a utility right now, and probably always will be. Adobe's integrations into tools like photoshop have been suite value-adds for designers (harmonization, color transfers, the big one imo- Super Resolution, and Im in-painting seems to be catching big steam)... Software eats software, photoshop will continue to photoshop and new capabilities will arise as old become automated.

Your definition of "negative" must be fairly specific.
Highly debatable. A (too quick?) Darwinist perspective would tell us that the original ReST was not fit. And the "new" ReST (aka, JSON-RPC) is more fit.

Thanks for taking the time to try help me understand this.

I feel like analogizing here might confuse rather than clarify, but I'm thinking of other cases where agents taking actions waive their rights and how those waivers are socially justified. For example contracts bind people in ways that limit their rights.

Ex: if you and I enter a futures contract for you to purchase wheat from me at a certain price, there is a constraint placed on each of us - me to pay you the money, and you to deliver the wheat. The reason we socially allow such contracts of obligation is to facilitate commerce. We allow for other waivers of rights for other reasons.

What is the underlying social reason for the agency-responsibility regarding pregnancy? I'm genuinely asking with the understanding that there may be multiple reasons, but I don't have an internal sense of agency-responsibility toward pregnancy that apparently others do. Under what principles is such a responsibility formulated?

This possibly confuses things more, but we socially recognize that some rights are non-alienatible, ex: you cannot voluntarily enslave one's self in a legally meaningful way. So there do seem to be some limits to which rights people can consent to void.

Several commenters take the position that the distinction doesn't matter. This is "an old person's battle." What matters is getting things done.

I'm not so sure. For one thing, it's of both theoretical and practical interest to trace the path of how a technical term comes to mean its opposite over time. If you're in the business of creating technical terms (everyone building technologies is), you might learn something by studying the REST story.

For one thing, Fielding's writing is not exactly approachable. REST is described in a PhD dissertation that is dense, packed with jargon and footnotes, and almost devoid of graphics or examples. His scarce later writings on REST were not much better.

Others who thought they understood Fielding, but who could write/speak better than him, came along with different ideas. Their ideas stuck and Fielding's didn't because he wrote like an academic and they did not.

The other thing that happened is that the technological ground shifted. To even begin to understand Fielding requires forgetting much or all of what one knows about modern web technologies. Part of that shift is the timing of Fielding's rediscovery with deep frustration over XML/RPC.
"Is it really just the fact that we got our bellies full"

Among sociologists and political theorists, this is known as an "embourgeoisement thesis".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embourgeoisement
I've worked for the Federal Government and for a variety of ad-tech companies. I am still much more terrified of "big tech" (and small tech) than "big government".

When I worked for the government I wanted to scrape some publicly available data from the web. Because the data involved information about people I had to write up a document explaining exactly what I was using the data for, exactly what information I would be collecting and why it was necessary, explain where the data was to be stored, and most importantly specify exactly how long I needed the data and when and how it would be safely removed. This had to be approved by a privacy officer.

I was shocked, because this is data that I, as a private citizen, could easily scrape. I asked why I had to do something so involved for a project I could easily do in my spare time. The answer I got was this: Because the government has extra authority they also have extra responsibility. As government employees we have more power to impact people's lives so it is our responsibility to be very explicit is what we do and why we are doing in.

In ad-tech there are oceans of data that are not publicly available, and in the US virtually zero restriction who looks at that data and what they can do with it. I've watched people move around town via trackers when the use they web, seen where they got coffee and seen which doctor they go to. I used this information to demonstrate to the legal team at previous company to care about user privacy. They were shocked but in the end made no real policy decision. Some of the big players likely have tighter security but only for business/PR reasons. I can assure you that a random data engineer at a mid-sized tech company has far more access to your personal secrets than an FBI agent.

Don't get me wrong, there are agencies in the government that have more surveillance power than they should and it is ripe for abuse. But don't think "it's not big tech", especially since there is a ultimately a thin line between big tech and big govt.

Indeed, Democrats are the ones who are advocating to legalize discrimination against people like me (https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/12/9/biden-admin-bac...) and eliminate objective standards that enable immigrants to break into elite jobs in favor of subjective standards that require social connections and cultural capital to navigate.
I don't think that's true, unless I just don't understand REST at all. Most "RESTful APIs" in the wild I encounter / implement are

- stateless
- cacheable
- follow client-server architecture
- support resource identification in requests
- loosely support resource manipulation through representation (with some caveats)

I don't see how it's RPC by any but the most broad interpretation (a function executes at another address space).
