> Why is it good?

It's good because it enables future innovation at the network edge. I don't know what that will look like, but it's better to have too much freedom than too little.

> Roaming

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locator/Identifier_Separation_... is an interesting solution to the roaming problem, though development seems less active than it once was.

In any case, it's easier to build this sort of technology when you're not fighting for scraps of address space.
It should be “affected”
>For example, if I make $500 “unhackablePhone”, where it literally doesn’t run web apps and every app is vetted by top-talent security researchers for weeks, and then I sell billions of these devices, do I then have to open up the ecosystem to allow anyone to be able to take a phone, punch in the passcode, and install a third party App Store?

Well that would depend, are you a "gatekeeper", as defined in the Regulation?

That is, do you have a significant impact on the EU's internal market (a turnover of €7.5bn or a €75bn market cap), provide a core platform service which is important for business users to reach end users (have have 45m monthly active end-users in the EU or 10k monthly active business users), enjoy an entrenched and durable position in your operations or foresee that you will enjoy such a position in the near future (i.e. you meet the above for three consecutive years)?

If you answered "no" to any part of that then you are not a gatekeeper, and these regulations do not apply to you.
Would you give this same critique to someone who was building a go-kart in their backyard for fun?

"Car companies like Honda and Ford have been around for decades, and those vehicles are going to drive considerably better than anything someone working in their backyard could make.

Plus, from my own experience, I've been driving these cars for the past 20 years, and abandoning that experience in how they feel and handle is a no-go.

So good luck, but you've got significant barriers to overcome"
You say you don't care, so if not your kids who's going to be at your funeral?
CPI is a great indicator of cost of living and is defined rigorously by law. We can argue if it is missing things, and I would agree. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore its value.

People being worried about their daily expenses skyrocketing is important? Your privileged lack of worry doesn’t solve the world’s problems.
It always surprises me to see people proposing a blanket ban on these kinds of guns despite the fact that all school shooters were young men under 25 years old.

You could just limit sales of these guns to folks over 25 and make everyone much safer.

In fact, every single school shooter was white...
Not necessarily but it does help. These tutorials focus mainly on the Berkeley Sockets API which can be exposed as-is (or with slight modification) to many languages beyond just C/C++.
Subways will always tend to be faster, just because they don't have cross traffic enforced by cycling traffic lights. Traffic lights are just a reality of street-based transportation, because the light length needs to be long enough that someone like a grandma with mobility issues needs enough time to cross the street.
I agree with some other commenters; this is a lot of cherry picking. You could just as easily compare Nosferatu (1922) with Blade (1998) with Twilight (2008) and ask why culture gets happier and less serious as time goes on, “aren’t we all becoming like Brave New World???” Comparing Adam West’s Batman with today’s Batman is just lazy. They’re apples and oranges at this point: different genres, different climates (today the more “fun” stuff is Marvel), different film technology. And if we want to get into it, it’s not “depression” that’s trendy; it’s realism. 60’s Batman dealt with all the same “dark” themes as current Batman: mafia, crime, trauma and grief, etc. But the visual portrayal was different because it was a “comic book” before comic books adaptations were commonplace blockbusters. That doesn’t mean all of 1960s cinema is somehow a comic book movie. Hello: Psycho (1960), Dr. Strangelove (1964), The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (1966).
I don't dislike Rene's videos or his public persona, but I wonder how serious change can come from somebody who (I believe) makes their living on YouTube and isn't a very rebellious/rock-the-boat sort of person.

YouTube doesn't need a couple of gentle reminders from a gentleman about what their creator community prefers from somebody who depends on them for a living.

They need somebody to go in there scorched Earth and embarrass the ever-living-shit out of them and call them out on many, many issues.

I'm not saying I have a better answer or real suggestion, but this is another in a long line of "meh".
Performance isn't relevant.
It's definitely not the norm in Europe. A few specific countries, maybe.
Log4j2 does have some legitimate improvements over logback. These days you don't need anything fancy, just spew logs into stdout and something will capture it to your ELK, so those loggers seem obsolete indeed. Java need standard logging with slightly improved ergonomics and that's about it.
Well, no, many apps require Google Play Services/Google Play Framework to work, I can use MicroG (https://microg.org/) with the spoofing enabled but this is unofficial thing and not everything works with that.
> What helped you increase your UX skills?

Disclosure: not a professional designer/UX person but have learned a lot over the years.

Honestly, building things that were terrible (not on purpose) and going back later and trying to pick apart what I did wrong. User feedback is really important here. Things like "how do I do..." or "where is the button to..." are signals that your UX needs improvement. I think it's useful to be able to look at your work with a critical eye. Of course, if you have the ability, show the things you build to a designer and ask them for honest critique.

Put yourself into the shoes of a user and work backwards from there. When I first started doing UI/UX, I put myself in the shoes of a programmer and worked towards the design. This will not ever work. Come at it from the perspective of "if I were to use this app, what are the most useful features and how do I access them?" Work backwards from there and have your UI/UX inform your architecture. Not the other way around.

Also, one thing that has helped me is to not get too wrapped up in design trends. It's a distraction from developing a solid foundation. You can have a great UX that people like without having to do the LATEST thing.

One last thing: it can be good UX without being beautiful. To me, UX is about discovery: can people figure out how to use it without consulting the manual? If so, it's good UX. The design might be trashy and look 90s but that's less important than having something people are comfortable using.
750K Indians have given up Indian citizenship in the last 5 years
Came here to say the same thing. Road wear comes from heavy transport fleets, not commuter vehicles, so all of the infrastructure to monitor semis and tax shipping fuels is already in place.

The shipping industry doesn't want to pay that tax, which is why they're lobbying to pass the tax onto the rest of us.

Privatize profits, socialize costs.
I am fairly confident that many (most) pilots love their job. The others that you listed are probably valid.
"Affected" is correct. Fortunately most of the time you can use the wrong word and still be understood.

Even with English as my first language, and as a life-long pedant, I still have to stop and think each time I use one or the other.
You could already use nextdns.io for ad blocking on android phones via DNS over TLS.
Definitely concur, for commuting I ride a pretty wide tire for that reason. I've actually really enjoyed cross-bikes for city commuting, since they're designed for a bit more of a pliable ride and more comfort while still running pretty fast overall.
Orwell and Wittgenstein
While trains are typically hybrids like that, I don’t think ships are.

So they’re optimized for cruise and horribly inefficient while accelerating or decelerating. But it’s a propeller in water so it just spins inoptimally which isn’t as bad as a steel wheel doing the same.
> Trading purity in exchange for practicality is usually a good call

Definitely. I’ve seen this proven again and again.
Serious question though, what’s the pay like for a software engineer in Switzerland? The last time I checked it was something around half or less of what a software engineer can make in a third tier city in the USA. I can deal with not being in a union when I make close to three times the average cost of living in my area and would be very surprised if a union could negotiate a better rate or better working conditions as a software engineer.
Global extinction threat may be much higher than previously thought
Native English speakers mostly learned English by sound alone, so many such speakers regularly mix up words which sound very similar, like it’s/its, effected/affected, site/sight, etc. Non-native speakers have instead frequently learned by mostly reading, and may therefore instead be lacking in correct pronunciation, but have no problem in distinguishing “it’s” and “its”, for example.
> The Harbor these days is just empty compared to the '90s, which certainly makes it feel sketchier. As I said, I don't think it's that dangerous

Just adding the link here because I lived in Baltimore and think it's irresponsible that so many Baltimore residents try to hand-wave away how dystopian Baltimore really is. It absolutely is a dangerous place and visitors should be extremely careful if they visit the city. It was already at over 150 murders in less than half a year this past June.

> The violence has not let up with almost 160 murders in the city so far this year.

> My hunch is that if one were to look closely at the funding of roads, one would find that they represent a net subsidy for heavy trucking.

Road wear grows at the 4th power of vehicular weight, assuming similar tire pressures. An F-150 that weighs one and a half times what your Mazda 3 weighs, does 5 times the road wear.

Would you like to calculate how much those tomatoes would cost, if everybody were paying their fair share of road wear?
Many years ago I had a roommate who was an actual Marxist (this was in Berkeley CA) and who had a kind of a job or volunteer position with a local radical politician trying to influence local politics. They would do things like go to city council meetings and march around the room singing songs. Dumb shit like that.

One day I'm reading in my room and the lights flicker and I hear a yalp from the living room. I go out to investigate and I can smell the magic smoke (not weed, electrical) and the roomie is standing there with a screwdriver and a spooked look on her face.

It transpires that she wanted to move a certain bookshelf to a certain spot and have it flush against the wall, but it was blocked by a little external electrical outlet. It was an old house, you see, (old for the West Coast that is) and when it was electrified they didn't both to run the wires through the walls. Instead they ran little conduits along the baseboards and mounted external socket blocks so we could plug in lamps, etc. One of these external electric sockets boxes was in the way of the bookshelf.

You can see where this is going?

She got a screwdriver and tried to remove the electric socket box without turning off the circuit. The flickering lights were when she shorted the circuit with the screwdriver and made the magic smoke come out.

Fortunately she wasn't hurt, just startled.

Now this person was in her fifties! How the hell to you get to be fifty years old and not know how electricity works!? And yet she felt confident that she knew how cities and countries should be run.

I think there are at least two points here:

1.) We have already made the world more complicated than the average person can understand. Computers are like pouring fuel on that fire, but it's been burning for a while now.

2.) People can be really stupid and ignorant and yet feel like they know what's going on and what to do about it.

I think the obvious though perhaps unpleasant conclusion is that we should look to radical simplification in all areas, and treat complexity as something that should be budgeted, treated as an expense and necessary evil.
Workers have a right to bargain for fair working conditions, it doesn't really matter what we think tbh. But why would you say that you assume the pay is 'fair'? We got bought by Oracle and no-one saw a raise in years, even through pandemic, where the ceo that makes 2000x our salary emailed us about how he was over the pandemic and decided to move to his private island in hawaii and make it 'a better place with the locals'
The money that banks create by fractional reserve lending is (at least somewhat) backed by real assets. The money that governemnt 'prints' is backed by nothing.
For what it's worth, when I was writing my post I was trying to empathize with them, not make fun of them. Space aliens is honestly something I would think of myself in that situation, I think, at least fleetingly. We're not all so down to Earth, so to speak. :)
There's something odd going on with encryption in the OpenPGP standard
There is currently a committee associated with the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) diligently working to replace the block encryption mode used by OpenPGP with something else. The thing is, there is nothing actually wrong with the block encryption mode currently used by OpenPGP. It has been in active use for 20 years now with no issues found. Hence the weirdness. The rational, such as it is, seems to come down to the fact that famous cryptographers like other methods better. That would of been significant 20 years ago when the existing standard was being set but carries no weight now.

The current proposal is to replace the current mode with three different modes. Those proposed modes are the sort of thing normally used for online connection oriented media like the TLS system used to protect the web. So they only fit awkwardly for the sort of offline non-connection oriented media that OpenPGP is normally used for. The most significant issue relates to the sort of streaming that many OpenPGP applications are expected to do. The proposed modes can't normally do that so the OpenPGP standard has been modified to break the data into blocks to allow the new modes to work. This adds complexity. Extra complexity is known to reduce security and reliability. This ugly hack is entirely unnecessary because, I can not emphasize this enough, there is nothing wrong with the presently used system.

Since this is so strange we might as well get some conspiracy theories out of the way... The Snowden leak provided a short list of things the NSA could not get access to. OpenPGP encrypted email was on that list. OpenPGP is used for communications on the dark net. So law enforcement would not mind the loss of interoperability caused by the introduction of a bunch of new encryption modes. The non-technical people that normally use OpenPGP on the dark net probably would not be able to overcome such issues and might have to switch to something else.

I seriously doubt there actually is any conspiracy here. My theory is that few understand how the existing system works and as a result automatically assume it doesn't. So the story of Chesterton's fence might apply.

I have attempted to produce an explanation of how the existing OpenPGP encryption mode works:

* https://articles.59.ca/doku.php?id=pgpfan:mdc | The OpenPGP Modification Detection Code is Actually Good

This situation weirded me out enough that I collected my thoughts in the form of an editorial:

It also starts to bother me quite a bit when we go from treating everyone equal before the law to creating certain requirements based on other factors.

Further it seems more like a moat to keep anyone else from getting as big as these "digital gatekeepers" are as suddenly when you get to a certain size you have an enormous expense.

If these companies really are that large that they have to get special laws for them isnt the solution to dissolve their monopoly and split the company up instead of starting to create separate classes of laws.
Yes, because large corporations never commit criminal infractions, or admit any wrongdoing. They just happen to settle with regulators as cost of doing business.
Yeah, and that unsecured Linux is destroying the world!

It’s not about making products less secure. That’s what apple makes you wanna think.

It’s about giving customers choice. They can stay in Apple ecosystem (I will for example). Or they can not. Companies like Apple will have to work much harder now, to give both users and developers enough value to justify being locked in.
You don't take the bus, it probably is 45mins. You are not including time walking to/from the bus stop at both ends. Time spent waiting for the bus- this is probably the biggest one. Time for people getting on and off at bus stops and paying- in some places, for example in London, there are stops every couple of hundred meters on the route, it is kind of ridiculous.
The Monitoring the Future graph shows a pretty good uptick in youth happiness up until 2009/2010 and then we basically see a precipitous drop ever since. I would say the initial introduction of social media was pretty awesome(as a 90s) kid. As time went on it has become a cesspool(now my adult view)...and from what I have heard, it isn't great for the younger generation.

Happiness is ultimately a pretty subjective matter, no less when trying to compare across many generations.
It partly depends on where your skills are at, currently. "Refactoring UI" (the book and their videos) turned out to be a great resource for me when I read it. "Don't Make Me Think" as well.

This theory conveniently ignores that streetcar companies also have lobbying power, and lobbying to stay the status quo is much more successful than lobbying for radical change.

The secret to this train's seeming ability to violate the laws of thermodynamics is that it carries a really heavy load downhill, then goes back uphill empty to pick up a new heavy load.

Regenerative breaking on the downslope wouldn't be able to provide enough charge to get the full train back to the top, but it is plenty to get the empty train back to the top.

Really cool use of the technology, not a perpetual-motion machine (it will run out of charge after carrying the last load down the hill, since it will no longer have extra mass to harvest potential energy from).

Some time ago, Tom Scott did a video about an old quarry gondola system that accomplished this without batteries (where the heavy gondolas coming down provided the driving force for the system), and no power was required except briefly to start it up again after a stop.

Apple can be broken up in multiple ways.

- smartphones

- desktop/laptops

- music and video streaming

- App Store and payments with Apple Pay

- chip design

- physical stores

All of those could stand on their own.

Edit: I'm not saying that the EU can break them up but Apple is not a company with a single field where breaking it up is impossible. I misread the parent a bit.
Lol, okay dude, believe that if it makes you feel good.
At the same time, a lot of us who are “working” are actually doing bullshit nonsense that is created just to keep us busy. Meanwhile a lot of people who do actual work like raising children, taking care of elder parents, or educating themselves are not considered to be “working” because they’re not generating someone else a profit.

What would happen if all the bullshit work ended tomorrow? Would the world come to an end? I don’t think so. But if all the unpaid work out there went undone, yes, society would quickly fall apart.

I don’t follow the “anti work” movement so I won’t pretend to know what they as a group believe. But for me, I believe we can drastically redefine the concept of work and come out ahead.
> On otherwise empty streets a buss network could be far more convenient than subways, but that’s not the world we live in.

I live in a world with relatively good subway system for travelling across the city and a relatively dense bus system to solve "the last mile" thus quite a good combination. (While the system is close to collapse due to missing investment over also few decades and new projects being too slow in completion)
Great job!

> Before you tell me to use Next.js, I know. But I think Cloudflare Workers are really cool!

It is really cool. I like to think sometimes there's no right way to do things so long it works for you.

For example, imagine an org/biz with a slow or busy dev team. Meta tags and SEO are constantly updating, pixels need to be dropped by marketing, stuff needs to be injected into the head, etc... This allows them to do so independently at a lower level.

Obviously the trade-off is this opens up to breaking things. Or, I'm not sure why they wouldn't use a Tag manager, but I am just saying out there this probably makes sense for someone.

I am not making any statement about streetcars in general. You also don't have to purchase the majority of something to then show it as a PR piece, "LA is modernizing its transportation system with the fast and flexible bus" ...

The commons then as now had a bunch of selfish people pushing their own agendas and mass transportation is one of those things that suffers under capitalism, it doesn't extract the most profit from the system. It maximizes efficiency, which isn't the same thing.
