A joke I heard around 1988:

A young man went back to visit his old economics professor, under whom he had studied many years earlier. He took a look at the final exam the professor was preparing to give the students. He said, "Professor, this exam is identical to the one you gave us year ago!"

The professor replied, "That's okay, all the answers have changed."

I've been to places where it's been $30 to park in a garage that was a 10-minute walk from where I needed to go (and I walk fast). This seems like a clear example of "not enough parking". This city had a parking minimum which was already only barely being met, so removing it would have made this already bad situation way worse.
I don't see the issue, really.

it is unfortunate that some people believe those pros outweigh the punishment inflicted on innocent users

it is better a thousand criminals/ spammers go free than a single innocent non-spammer be treated as if they are one

I agree - we spend so much time communicating via a keyboard and yet few of us take the time to learn how to touch type. Was there any specific website/app that helped you improve your typing - I know there's a ton of free resources out there.
> Productivity porn is anything that after having been consumed makes you feel like you were productive when in reality you didn’t actually do anything.

I disagree with the line of thinking that all research which isn't immediately useful is unproductive. It just needs to be limited. Set a time limit of 30 minutes per day for researching and improving your meta process.

Those articles on AI you read on hackernews might be planting the seeds for your next career change. It's impossible to know ahead of time.

I think the ideal breakdown is 20% research, 70% action and 10% reflection.
The absolute majority of biology labs do things that don’t need disposable material. It used to be many used radioactive reagents but their use has decreased significantly as well. My lab used to use glass pipettes well into the 2010s because they were the miserliest PIs ever among other things. They only allowed everyone to use disposable pipettes when they became cheap enough or cheaper than the extra lab tech it needed to keep the pipettes flowing.

Most labs can totally very easily cut down on 80% of their waste output with a tiny bit of extra grease and some process change.

Heck if you really want to, you can go further - even consumables no one in western labs would think to reuse, like tissue culture flasks and pipette tips, were reused in my lab in india because they were poor. Discard tips that didn’t touch any bad reagent into a separate box for washing and ruse them for non critical steps, not that hard. Tissue culture flasks can’t be washed but you can reuse them multiple times without significant issues. For most cell line cultures this should have no effect on the result.

That might be good for developer health, but its crappy for user experience.

And I've worked with some people that have literally wrote the book on CI/CD, so I fully understand the philosophy and benefits.

You probably need to at least throttle your auto-updates so that users who are just on autopilot don't upgrade more than once a month unless there's a truly critical update (not critical to you, but critical to your users). You can more or less stagger them and if they haven't updated in a month plus or minus some random fuzz that they pop open the auto update and download the latest changes.

That isn't CI/CD instant-feedback nirvana of every change, but you should dribble out enough changes to users in a few days to get enough feedback (this also limits the impact of any embarrassing critical regressions).

And most Enterprise users tend to deeply hate auto updates unless you happen to be selling only into other CI/CD using Enterprises. You want them all on the latest and greatest so you don't have to deal with bugs, but they want stable software until they decide to bump it. We tried imposing auto updates on Enterprise customers and they really hated it. You're probably going to have to find some kind of compromise there. Although I will also agree that having Enterprise customers that you have to support stuck on 5 year old versions of your product can easily kill the product.

But everyone has upgrade fatigue and you really need to listen to customers and find some kind of compromise.
But it's not about all the choices, logins, subscriptions or anything like that. It's about the game play alone. It's smooth and fast while you play. The servers don't lag, don't crash, the UI is very responsive, you don't feel like overall slowness and lag of all of it robs you of time or experience.

You can debate all other surrounding stuff being influenced by the author's politics but this one is purely about him being able to implement it and the commercials competitors failing spectacularly.

It's not unique to Lichess btw, back in the day ICC had smooth, responsive gameplay as well. It was commercial and it was great.

I've been needing to vent about this. I have two kids and we play Minecraft, Starcraft, and other Blizzard games and Steam games, on the LAN; we have several computers, both Macs and PCs, in the household. The amount of "updating" that happens is absolutely insane. Blizzard games update themselves multiple times per day (I read somewhere that if it is updating this much, it is a bug and you should do a clean install or something, but it has always happened on all computers no matter what). All of these games have launchers, and the launchers also require updates, and even if you are playing single-player or on the LAN, you have to take the update. You have to sign in with your username and password. You have to use a different account, with a different email address, on every computer. I made the mistake of buying two iMacs with SSD/HD fusion drives for the household, which use very slow HDs, and then for a while I was booting one of them into Windows (until I bought a couple Windows machines for gaming), and Windows only used the slow HD. A forced Steam game update could take half an hour. Also the various launchers sometimes have bugs and get stuck in a bad state, like at one point the Blizzard updater got stuck in "updating" mode and refused to start Warcraft III. Which should not need daily updates in 2022!

> They're a major part in killing off web forums, and a significant wet blanket on any sort of fun internet creativity or experimentation.

> The only ones that can survive the robot apocalypse is large web services. Your reddits, and facebooks, and twitters, and SaaS-comment fields, and discords. They have the economies of scale to develop viable countermeasures, to hire teams of people to work on the problem full time and maybe at least keep up with the ever evolving bots.

This is not true at all. There are web forums that are not "web-scale" and don't spend all day fighting bot spam. The solution is real simple: it costs 10 bux to register an account, if you're a nuisance your account is banned and you pay 10bux to get back on.

Even the sites that don't require payment for explicit registration - often succeed by gating functionality or content behind paywalls. Requiring a "premium membership" to post in the classifieds forum is an extremely extremely common thing on small interest-based web-boards (photrio, pentaxforums, homebrewtalk, etc). That income supports the site and supports the anti-bot efforts as a whole. The customer isn't advertisers - it's the community itself, and you're providing the service of high-quality content and access to people with similar interests.

You need to bootstrap a community first, of course, but it doesn't need to be a large community, just a high-value one.

The twitters and facebooks of the world just don't like that solution because they value growth above all other considerations. They'd rather be kings of a billion user website with 200 million bots than a 1k-100k user forum with 100% organic membership and content. And they value engagement over content quality, which is the entire reason comment-tree/vote-based systems have been pushed heavily over web-1.0 threaded forum discussions as well.

This botpocalypse is the inevitable outcome of the systems that social-media giants have created, not inherent outcomes of the internet as a whole.
Interesting last paragraph "Updates & Corrections" in the Nature article:

"Correction - The figure ‘Too close for comfort’ in this Comment incorrectly synthesized and interpreted information from the IPCC. The graph labelled the temperatures as absolute, rather than rises; misrepresented the levels of risk; misinterpreted information as coming from a 2007 IPCC report; extrapolated the focus of a 2018 report; and was not
clear about the specific sources of the information. The graphic has been extensively modified online to correct these errors."

This is a top level publication, an article by the leading scientists in the field of climate change. It is so frustrating to see these errors happening on that level. One such little error generates more damage than 100 fake reports produced by the oil industry. Very sad.
They need to be coupled with the same bespoke, precise controls and input handling though. There's a tightness to a lot of PS1 and N64 games that takes care to replicate. And Unity and friends don't exactly help you in that department.
If memory is reachable the surviving pictures of old Lisp Machines had inside color line diagrams where the memory is.

Don’t know if by high efficiency they also mean flat bed instead of standing freezers. Especially in -80 you can tell easily how big a difference that makes. The moment you open a standing -80 you can see the frozen air fall out and down. It then runs for hours to cool back down. We had a flat bed and that bigger won’t even switch on unless you keep it open for minutes straight.
I thought this article was referring to the upcoming deluge of GPT-3/DALL-E bots that will eventually flood all of online discourse. And whatever future models that will be even more indistinguishable from people - perhaps even ones that are good at "signup flow".

That's going to be way worse for humanity than spiders and automated scripts sending too much traffic. This article isn't imagining apocalypse creatively enough.

> Do you insist on pointing that out to my face repeatedly

If it's not relevant, then of course there's no point of pointing that out. But if we are talking about a task that requires visual acuity, and I point out that you seem to have an issue in that department, then you may feel bad, but that doesn't change the facts. And if the task does require knowing that, then your feeling bad does not overcome that. For example, if you need glasses to drive safely, then your driver license should say that, and if you feel bad about it, then you'd feel bad and the license still should say it.

If you are short, and feel bad about it, I wouldn't point it out each five minutes "repeatedly". There's no reason to do that. But if you come to join a basketball team, claiming you are actually gigantic - I'll tell you "dude, sorry, but you're short", and if you feel bad about it, then you feel bad. It's between you and your therapist.

It so happens that humans are sexually dimorphic species, and thus the notion of this is relevant in human cultures (in different ways for different cultures, of course). Thus if a bearded guy claims he's a woman, I may ignore it when it's irrelevant, but if it becomes relevant, I'll tell him "dude, sorry, but you're a dude".

> Do you insist on a shortened version of my name that I don't like?

Names are rarely carrying any meaning, they are generally arbitrary, so there's no reason to prefer one to another, unless it's done for nefarious purposes (like identity theft or tax evasion). So I see no reasonable cause to prefer one version of the name to another.

> Ditto if you refuse to comply with requests from other people that I consider reasonable.c

Note that I am a jerk if I refuse requests that you consider reasonable. Somehow your personal opinion of what reasonable becomes the law of the world, and my personal opinion of what's reasonable doesn't even enter the picture. Funny how it works?
OMAD can be tweaked for stable weight - e.g. by increasing the eating window from 1 hour to 2 hours, by eating more, or by adding an extra meal once in a while.

Quite irritating that so many governments around the world, not only the US, but NZ, Aus, Canada, the UK, and parts of Western Europe continue to believe the answer to the real estate cost problem is juicing demand rather than building out more supply.

I wonder how long until the average home is $5 million, the average mortgage term 100 years, with a heavily subsidized 1% down payment, and subsidized interest rate.
The real wisdom of this graph is that for people who aren't friends with their coworkers, they are spending 4x as much time with not friends as friends. For people who are friends with their coworkers they're just cheating on that play, boosting their friend time.

It's got some of the commercial emacsen, but I don't see CCA Emacs (ran on VAX BSD, at MIT in 1984-1985 at least; notable for things like "running a child csh to do file globbing" which was almost clever... until you didn't save for an hour and the csh autologout fired, and you discovered you could no longer save anything either. Never got bit by it, just remember being unable to help people with it...)

No reason to think it shared code with anything else in the tree, of course.

> The other alternatives all suck to the extent of my knowledge, they're either prohibitively convoluted, or web3 cryptocurrency micro-transaction nonsense that while sure it would work, also monetizes every single interaction in a way that is more dystopian than the actual skull-crushing robot apocalypse.

In the interest of practicality: There's a way to go the web3 route without being laden with transactions:

- Mint a fixed-cost non-transferrable NFT to an address, with ownership limit of 1 per address.
- Use SIWE (sign-in with Ethereum) to verify ownership of address & therefore NFT.
- If malicious behaviour is detected, mark the NFT as belonging to a malicious actor at the server's end & block the account.
- Require non-malicious-marked NFTs in order to use the site/app.

At most, the user only had to perform 1 transaction (minting the non-transferrable NFT) on any blockchain network where the contract resides, & the costs to do so can be made cheaply with Layer 2 networks. (Polygon PoS, Arbtirum, Optimism, zkSync 2.0, etc)

Can this be done entirely without web3? Yes, but the added friction imposed onto malicious actors to generate new addresses & mint new non-transferrable NFTs increases the costs for them considerably.

> If anyone could go ahead and find a solution to this mess, that would be great, because it's absolutely suffocating the internet, and it's painful to think about all the wonderful little projects that get cancelled or abandoned when faced with the reality of having to deal with such an egregiously hostile digital ecosystem.

In all honesty, there's no perfect solution, just hard-to-make tradeoffs: The prevention of botspam inherently requires tracking in some form to resolve said issue, as there's no immediately-recognizable stateless solution for botspam tracking. Someone has to do the tracking to prevent botspam, which inherently involves in state being changed in order to mark an actor as malicious.

Hacker News and navel gazing about your own mortality - name a better combo
I experienced this firsthand with government immigration websites. The thing is there are only so many time slots and and people are forsed to use a certain web site to apply, so everyone is hunting for available time and generally none are available.

So, some creative people set up bots which check periodically for them. They are paid services which will do that for you. Now we have bots hammering gatekeeper's website. Perhaps hundreds of bots.

Which results in the website is being unavailable, serving a serious qps to bots. I think it is only a matter of time before someone will write bots that will apply to application bots hoping that more entries with their information will provide them with better probability of success.

This is so dystopian and cruel to the average person, and I don't think there is a good solution besides a deep anti-bot expertise whithin the primary website development team
