It's a very common perspective for bad game aficionados. Intentionally poor games are parodies and/or jokes.

Anyone can make a bad game.
Not many can make a truly excellent one.

So when ranking bad games, intentionally bad ones need something special to elevate them beyond parody status.

Unintentionally bad games are fascinating and often straight up funny. A lot of the fun is discussing all the ways it is bad and how on earth it could possibly have been released.

The same goes for bad film and/or music. You'll find it's the normal perspective.

But everyone has their own rules. You're entitled to your own set of rules.

Having given them my number, I’m unsure if they have a lot of raw data. The results come back like “JXXX SXXXX” instead of “JOHN SMITH”. Maybe they have all the data and are obfuscating to prevent misuse, or maybe thats all the data they get back from the broker since this is a free search.

Having Googled my phone number many times, Doxx Me is returning similar results that a bunch of paywalled “people search” websites show as a free preview.

I don’t personally think it matters what Doxx Me does since this data is out there being used without my permission all of the time, and they certainly didn’t collect it.
As someone who has never trusted institutions, nor seen any particular reason they should be considered trustworthy, the contrary question feels more interesting: why did people in the past have so much faith in powerful organizations? Was it a function of centralized mass media? Given the a US-centric nature of the research, was it something about the depression/WWII/post-war boom experience?
You don't need to read a ton of books or know any math at all really - the basic answers they are typically looking for are patterns you can spot with no knowledge of logarithms what so ever.

Spend a few days and you will just recognise, "oh hey I've a nested loop here, it's likely O(n2)!" That's really all it takes, and there are only 4-5 main classifications most interview code falls into, all of which can be spotted without knowing what a logarithm is. If I had interviewed you, I would not be impressed you hadn't understood this at such a basic level either, personally. The rest of us making a full time living at software engineering have to learn it to pass interviews at top companies too!

despite it's terrible APIs it was fast and easy to setup and manage. Speaking from over a decade ago here.. My experience was good with PHP for simple web applications. However any form of concurrency can't easily be achieve with PHP, so that limits the types of applications you can build easily.

Today, you'd be much better off picking up a language that provides concurrency primitives and has tools to build simple pages w/ a request/response flow.

This is a difference in attitude between Americans and French when describing their countries: the French tend to regard overseas territories as more vitally part of their country than Americans do. Not sure why, possibly it was a deliberately-cultivated attitude by the government at some point, or maybe the difference arose organically. Meanwhile I think a lot of Americans kinda-unconsiously barely even consider Hawaii and Alaska really parts of America, let alone the numerous non-state territories.

Actually, now that I think about it, the sense of "Metropolitan France" is very similar to the term "the continental United States"

Yeah, I haven't flown for a while and I gather there's still a certain level of travel chaos. But pre-pandemic, I'd get to the airport early because it's more relaxing for me and my limo company doesn't like to cut things close. But with TSA Pre, I was rarely more than 15 minutes through security and often much faster. Backups happen and I'd rather build in slack for them. But in my experience, at the US airports I fly through, the "security theater" is rarely onerous.
I've done this too with blog posts, and it works okay, although many readers don't like it. I wanted a snappier way to say "you didn't learn about in school," and I think this author did too.

I don't think older people who were raised in a longer attention span world (without even flashy jump cuts on TV) will find short attention span videos appealing.

I could be wrong. One thing that would tell me I'm wrong is if there was a robust amount of people over 40 on TikTok. I don't have that data, but Facebook probably does.

Edit: Only a quarter of TikTok users are over 34 years old

Closely related is pattern defeating quicksort ( https://github.com/orlp/pdqsort ), which adapts quicksort to take advantage of sorted runs. I've adapted a few quicksorts to pdqsort and seen good speedups (as people were often sorting partially sorted data)

I wasn't referring to the edge network for _startups_ to replicate. I was more wondering how AWS and others can replicate Vercel/Netlify and eat their lunch. They have no defensible moat as a company.
I would disagree that it does impact users' experience because when the registry gets corrupt you have to start by installing Windows from scratch. Nothing like Windows 10 update disabling registry backups to save space on low capacity storage and finding out after the fact when attempting to recover Windows 10.

Secondly with device drivers being tied to the registry there is not a simple system upgrade of taking out the hard drive and placing it into a new computer.

Just not everyday occurrences for most but still exist.

Windows has a lot of tasks that are scheduled to run infrequently. Search indexing, checking for updates, TRIM and defragmenting, antivirus scans etc. However if you only boot Windows infrequently, then those tasks will run every time you boot. I've seen this happen many times where someone who uses Windows infrequently is always greeted with a slow computer which encourages them to stop using Windows altogether.

Microsoft should really fix that one of these days.
I agree, and as a bald man myself, it's a tad surprising to read this from the spouse of a man who's currently only thinning - and someone they have two kids with.

I can’t say that’s accurate. For my area it shows that Kassel is 3 hours away, although direct train goes in less than an hour, and even with intermediate stop, it’s slightly more than an hour. South of Germany isn’t connected at all, although I can get to Ingolstadt in less that 5 hours…
I tried it. And one of the most interesting things it did was list a location that I use when we are running our GPS simulator for testing.

> The problem with this logic is that an SF-LA line that serves nothing else actually fails to serve most of the state.

I don’t doubt that at all! However, I do not consider domain experts authority figures, however omniscient or infallible they may present. On the contrary, given how easily expertise distorts perception of knowledge, I find it prudent to avoid putting expert opinions on a pedestal, and to provide complementary views where possible.
That's been around since Windows NT. Whether or not Microsoft uses it for their own (in-box or out-of-box) products is a different question.

I assume they'd know that you're the kind of person to be interested in this. Just an additional data point to what they already have.
issue with open sourcing is that the sources are paid which is good in a way that criminals can't just run million queries making us more vulnerable.

We're just queries dozens of paid sources and crowdsourcing the data and displaying what we believe is accurate as it may have appeared multiple times

> I can't use this RNG because it isn't FIPS validated. I can't sponsor getting it FIPS validated because the cryptography it uses isn't even FIPS compatible. It wouldn't make it past the cursory skim of a reviewer. [...] but it still means that it's a non-starter for many libraries and applications that end up having US Federal Government users

But how do these user-space libraries get the entropy for their RNG? If they read it from /dev/random or /dev/urandom or call getrandom(), it's the exact same algorithm.

To put it another way: even though this is running in user mode, it's not a user-space library; it's part of the Linux kernel, which happens to be running in user mode. If for some reason you need to make getrandom() use FIPS algorithms, you already have to patch the kernel, and when doing so you'd patch this code to match. Because this code is the getrandom() system call, which like a couple of other "fast" system calls like gettimeofday(), is implemented partially in user mode and partially in kernel mode.

Leetcode is just based on the wrong premise. No one has to be a good developer or engineer to do leetcode. Even the people who run Leetcode don't need to be good engineers.

This isn't to say that the latter isn't feasible, but the incentive is there to fool the industry into thinking that the ability to solve puzzles is a good metric for technical skills.

> for you page, rather than encouraging people to actually follow individual account.

I like that Tiktok has two feeds.

A feed from people you follow and an algorithmic for you page.

I find this approach better when compared to IG and FB which combine two feeds in one.
There is another angle to consider here as well.

Before the whole Anti-CSAM debacle, one legitimate concern was that iPhones are more commonly used for CSAM than other platforms and there was a perception that Apple wasn't doing enough about it.

Their stance on privacy was opening them up to attacks by the 'think of the children' types, weakening both its brand and political capacity to withstand pressure to weaken encryption, create backdoors etc.

This feature is an impressive counter volley in that space. It doesn't compromise security or privacy of normal users, it's optional and should be reasonably effective. But in creating this, Apple insulates itself from the suggestion it is doing nothing to help protect children.

So this feature could actually give Apple a face saving way to discard the creepy Anti-CSAM idea altogether and win it enough clout to keep fighting government pressure generally.

It's a net win for privacy. We need to pick our battles and not reflexively go after Apple with 'this is a dry run for on device scanning/police state' type baseless accusations.
Is your argument here that average global temperature is not in fact increasing?
Yeah, unfortunately Asus took that away a couple of generations back. It's the main thing that keeps me away from their more recent phones.

I can sort-of understand omitting microSD support in a "compact" phone that's targeting a more mainstream market, but the part that really boggles my mind is that they've never had a microSD slot in any of their "gamer" ROG phones. Those things are huge, and also sold to a demographic that is more likely than average to want all the storage they can get.

This was true 10 years ago. Not so today - the tools are there, and the frameworks are making it simple to deploy them.

But more importantly: the vast majority of apps don't need this. PHP by itself is fast enough for most use cases when set up properly.
Really makes me appreciate what Twitter has done as a user of both platforms. Twitter kept the chronological feed option, hasn't done the same video content-boosting stuff that FB did, and as a result they haven't grown nearly as much but the product today still resembles what it was a decade ago.

For Facebook that's no longer the case and it really sucks because they got just big enough that nobody will likely get anywhere near the same size of a "book of faces" to check up on friends and family

Text files are better because I can use any text editor to update or change them, and leave comments/notes in the file.

I don't understand all the talk about performance - programs should be reading config once on start up and that's it.

Registry keys I guess serve the programmer better by providing types and paths, but user space libraries can be used and since it's not kernel-level string handling code, a lot safer. Then again for I know ntdll.dll or kernel32.dll or whatever does actually run its registry API functions in userspace.

Also, since the registry doesn't provide an opportunity for self-documentation, updating configuration using a common, trustable tool (regedit) is generally something you do only as a last resort when armed with knowledge or documentation that you'd have to hunt for elsewhere. Realistically you'll have to use control panel applets or settings dialogs in programs themselves.
Who has an account on this wiki and how did you get it? The wiki pages have an Edit button, but it uses an HTTP auth prompt, and cancelling it doesn't provide any details about how to register. I also don't see anything after looking around elsewhere on the wiki itself, nor does Googling turn anything up.
I generally understand the point you're trying to make but I don't think I agree. Who is being hypocritical here?
