Eh, so regulators explicitly force a platform to open up, and then they will go after people making use of that just in spirit of the law? That seems super weird to me, much weirder than the opposite - that MS/FB/Google stores are being planned right now during the celebration party thrown because of this regulation.

I had a business partner who was impressed with Intel in a way that I just couldn't understand. In my own area of software expertise Intel was hiring freshers to make half-baked projects that were even more half baked than my own half baked projects and I could never get him to understand how it was a software person would find it almost impossible to be taken seriously in a company that thinks its main competence is hardware.

(That said, NVIDIA is a bit of a counterexample. As much as people complain about their drivers a lot of the brilliance in their product is in the CUDA compiler. I wound up having to fight with NVIDIA's drivers to make a family of machine language learning products deployable and came to have a lot of appreciation for the release engineering work that goes into their drivers even if, in the end, the drivers seem to be just another way to build a mailing list of people to spamannoy)
This happens to me every time I enter my car while on a Zoom call; the bluetooth or even the hardwired headset would switch to the car speakers and the call gets unmuted. I need to scramble to mute the call while my daughter is screaming at the back. Can't get it to work.

After the 10th sms service I'd be curious to know why people have done the same thing ten times. If there is a real difference in functionality between those ten services, I suppose the next question is why don't their names reflect that?

One of the useful things about descriptive names is that it can help you detect duplicate work.
Possibly because they don't care as much. Until very recently, the heaviest use of qemu was to run hardware accelerated virtual machines on the same architecture. If you're using it with KVM/HAXM/whatever, it is fast. I expect they would be happy to take performance enhancements for emulation, but that it simply hasn't been a priority.
That's exactly right - it's about risk. No one has "perfect" operations/ security. They have a threat model and a risk tolerance.
> Nah, rents aren't determined by owners' costs

I don't understand this. The owners have pay mortgage, taxes, insurance, and repairs. How can it be decoupled? The landlords I know would have to sell if they lost their renters, or if the rental income fell below a certain amount.
Ha! Clever reversal. I like the idea of 'drop in' lately, since that's akin to office hours - the time when stuff can really get done because it's not the performative lecture.

> nothing more than a grab for additional user signups.

I think this is a holdover from the olden days when image hosting (and bandwidth) was expensive, hotlinking images was very much a faux pas, etc. Or maybe I just wasn't aware of "the game" back then, but I truly don't remember getting the feeling that forums were trying to juice signup numbers by holding images hostage. When I see that, I think "ugh, get with the times" more than "ugh, another site trying to get my email".

That said, I fully agree that it is super frustrating, and I wish they'd turn it off.

It's also meta-interesting how the meaning of requiring a signup feels like it has changed. Again, could just be me, but I definitely see "signup required" these days as a grab for data (really, more of a benefit for the operator than the user), whereas in the golden days of forums, it didn't feel like there was spammy intent behind it (and it felt more like a true benefit for the user).
> Off the top of my head - World Championships matches won, time spent as number 1, peak Elo.

I meant to say that the other way around sorry. A lot of Fischer’s stats aren’t very impressive at all. He’s won less championships than say Kramnik or Petrosian, but not many people would argue that either of those two were greater players than Fischer.
There's a lot of articles out there on the flood of people wanting to move to Canada. So I wrote a practical, deep-dive guide as a website on how to move to Victoria, BC, Canada. Everything from how to get a job, find an apartment (even those that accept dogs), and meet people quickly to start your new life up here. You can actually do the move, with this website.
it's also interesting to see the impact of cheap capital on software development trends. for instance to reproduce the same SEO server-rendered site we had pre-2008, we have increase in complexity and costs.

Applications and websites that should be more than fine to be rendered on MVC frameworks are now sending several megabytes of javascript down the wire, as a result our devices have more memories, more computing power, thereby consuming more energy than ever before contributing to the growing global warming crisis that we are only beginning to witness now.

Coupled with lobbying for not regulating personal data in databases connected to the internet thereby allowing a select few giants to essentially act both as cartels to monopolize the arbitrage of the data of everyone on earth. The labor market are also controlled as a result of this monopoly, it feels like the best version of state sanctioned businesses: self-sufficient on its own while gathering data on everyone as the price of privacy is artifically suppressed.
> which is to say a bunch of crazy people dressed up as Indians and cowboys who thought that storming a building means controlling a country.

I don't know why people are still pushing this narrative when the hearings have made it perfectly clear at this point that there was orchestration and support among the government, Capitol police and likely even the Secret Service. The "crazy people dressed up as Indians and cowboys" were useful idiots meant to make the whole thing seem like a clumsy farce.
Now if we can only convince VCs that 'web3' really means 'we host the servers again' and not that other nonsense.
> Alas, I've backed myself into a corner a couple of times and triggered "just gotta guess" choices in it - while it's generally good at this, it's not a 100% implementation based on my playing.

This should not happen because the current implementation [1] always tries to solve a randomly generated puzzle deductively, and never generates a puzzle that hasn't passed the check. (There are some shortcuts, including dynamically "perturbing" the current puzzle to make it uniquely solvable.) "Solvable" puzzles do not guarantee no backtracking though, so that's probably where you gave up. Also note that you should take account for the number of remaining mines, which can frequently be the sole information left for the very last mines.

Has anyone actually even tried the K&R book in the past couple of decades and not run into issues like the assumption of unbuffered shell output? You get like one or two chapters in and things are already behaving outside of how they did when that book was written in the 1980s. It's a classic, yes, but I don't recommend it to anyone outside of people writing code in C89 for vintage systems... Yet the amount of suggestions I see from people who haven't actually learned C from scratch since the 1990s to read that particular title is high enough that I can't do anything but scratch my head over it. Tons has changed over thirty plus years.

Yes, this isn't new either.

The advice given to IRC admins was always "don't post in your own channels".

There are plenty of irc channels and forums administrated even worse than reddit.
I don't think regulators will allow Facebook to take crucial apps like WhatsApp away from the main App Store. That seems like an act of monopolistic power and overreach as well. We're not talking about a simple Contacts app here, of which there are innumerable alternatives on the main store. And even if they did allow it, they would immediately probe Meta's third party app store, because are already concerned with privacy violations and data collection.

> MS/FB/Google stores are being planned right now during the celebration party thrown because of this regulation.

I hope they are getting their PR team ready too with mea culpas once a vengeful public backlashes against third party exclusivity.
Play store has much less demands on your app UX, much easier and faster review process, takes much smaller fee and doesn't claim any earnings out of the platform and the OS isn't locked down too much. It's not 1:1 comparable. There's not a big good reason to do it on Android, there are many on iOS.

I am not a UX guy but I feel a lot of them could benefit from trying to understand their users and what the tool is actually used for. I feel a lot of them have a “I know better” attitude and don’t respect their users.
I think forum platforms are still the best type of web site for communities that need to communicate in the long term, i.e. where information does not get stale quickly.

For instance, in building-hobby/crafting forums, people post threads about their ongoing projects, which sometimes may take years to complete.

In some collecting forums, there are threads that are over a decade old — and still active, each with a wealth of information about one very specific subject.
Disagreements about details about a specific type of item means that there is sometimes a lot of info that can't always be easily collected into a wiki.

However, these forums are dependent on there being a good search function: When they breaks down, people do complain. It is also not suitable to automatically lock/cull old threads on these forums.
I think there are some investors out there who might find these numbers more interesting than most numbers they will see today.

It doesn't explicitly say anything no, but what does an LVT entail given how humans tend to value property? For instance, in NYC would it incentivize building a bunch of shoeboxes or actual livable space?
The point of forums is that it shouldn’t be random strangers posting once only after they found some thread or post in a Google search result. It’s intended for topics that you want to follow regularly.

The platforms are not dead, but the etiquette that mostly defined them is very much dead, very similar to the Eternal September, thanks to social media style engagement creeping its way into everything.

Reddit is a good example for this; It has all the functionality to write well formatted posts, with no character limit, and easy insertion of links.

But how many Reddit users actually make use of that functionality to that full extend? Only a minority, and for that they often get told to "Cut down on the wall of text/gish gallop" because anything that's longer than a Tweet is nowadays considered something bad.

A huge factor for that his how most people nowadays browse the web; On their phone, which does not lend itself well to read or write long-style text content, so most Reddit comments boil down to 1-2 sentence jokes and other random emotional garbage based on ad hominem because everything is about them dopamine kick upvotes.
Yeah, honestly there's probably just a few libraries you're going to have to care about re: keeping up to date. Everything else can get updated opportunistically/ on some cadence. Your exposed attack surface for most software is pretty much your TLS library and network stack. The more mature you become the more of the attack surface you can try to track.

But basically if you just subscribe to a few projects' releases you can pretty easily get things pushed to you when it matters.

>"It is rare for media outlets to publish outright lies; if a fact is presented as a fact, it probably is a fact. "

I broadly agree, and my take on the situation is that journalists "lie" through selectivity, insinuation, and frequency. This isn't quite the same thing as 'spin', but they overlap very much.

I also find that very rarely are actual data-point facts in dispute, it is the interpretation wrapped around the facts where the manipulation takes place and the disputes arise.
Isn't it known how many mines are on the board, so that is not actually a problem since you could count that all of the exposed/marked mines == total # of mines?

In the short term, it does. Sale prices are a big factor in property appraisals in every state. In Washington, "I just paid X" or "My neighbor just paid X" is pretty much the only way you can successfully appeal a state appraisal.

I'm not sure what your point is? Does development policy not affect the supply and location of housing?
I'm sure the prices will go down each year as the computing costs go down.
Not sure I agree. Or doesn't fit with my experience/city/state.

All zoning is exclusionary to my knowledge. That's the entire point. It's not necessary but it exists because it exists. And, it's sticky. It was established most likely when the entire city was raw land and undeveloped; so it served as a plan for development. There was no NIMBY because people were building their BY. Because there was a plan, you could decide where you wanted to build that BY.

Once you have developed the land, raised family, lived in a house for decade(s), and the city around you develops and changes. Now, your property maybe better utilized as a multifamily complex or a nuclear reactor, or anything really. But, it's your home and you shouldn't be taxed out of it. Rezoning as a process is may difficult and probably should be. There's a lot of stakeholders/neighbors who are impacted by a change. They should have some say. It just so happens that those people who bought a single family house in a single family neighborhood tend to prefer it to stay that way so they get called NIMBY but it's a completely rational perspective to have if you were in their shoes. Thus, an introduction of this tax only serves to displace the current owners who can not afford the new tax bill and does nothing to change the actual zoning. So the result is, richer people with bigger tax-bill budgets move in and your even further into the NIMBYism trap not even realizing you're in a zoning trap.

If you open up the zoning (and perhaps the building restrictions), the best and highest uses can actually prevail.
Interesting points, thank you! JSON is a great example, I understand what you meant now.

So it is unacceptable now to merely insult other users?

You can act coy about the meaning of this, but the usage of such language is obvious. It is trying to compare a voluntary public exchange between anonymous internet users to acts of physical violence.

The usage of that word there is essentially an underhanded attempt at justifying future censorship through its ambiguous meaning. When moderators agree with the "attacked" the message becomes a bannable offense, but when moderators agree with the "attacker" the message becomes "fair criticism".
The problem I have with adopting something like this is that (other than the added time it would take to write and maintain all my own dependencies), I don't trust myself to avoid writing the same kinds of security bugs that a third-party dependency might also write. But those bugs are much more likely to be discovered and fixed in the widely-used third-party library than in my bespoke library, even if I publish that library as open source.

Sure, I would never write these log4j security-related bugs, because I would never even think to write such obscure functionality into a logging library for my own use.

Regardless: frankly, I think anyone who claims they won't write security bugs... well, that kind of person is probably a bit unrealistic about the flawlessness of own abilities, to put it as politely as possible.

I think this is more of a "do what I say, and not what I do" thing. Nominally most companies want you to mentor junior devs, but the worker who spends less time on that, and more time on higher visibility work gets the promotion priority.
I don't see how regulators could forbid them without making a joke out of themselves. The whole point was to let apps choose - there are dozens of legit points Big Tech can claim as the reason. From fees to UX demands to review process too expensive to supporting banned (but otherwise legit) functionalities.
Yes, this can pop up in any library. But only because developers aren't taught "don't put remote code execution into your code". You'd think that would be something that someone would teach, but it doesn't really come up. Remember that log4j was vulnerable because of a feature - it all worked as designed.
Still, you would think they would've done it as a trial run. You really believe Facebook likes Google and they're not competitors? If they were interested and committed in running their own app stores, they would have tried it already. Facebook is simply not good at running their own app ecosystem, see the collapse of Facebook Apps as a platform.
