I like offline first app design, and have built several. However, I don't do it anymore unless there is a very clear use case and direct customer benefit. Some apps just don't work offline at all.

One of the decision trees is you often have some API needs and can't just live within the pouch db database. Particularly account creation and such. It may need to plug into other services and initiate them, you could use a database as a message queue, but it's awkward compared to an API.

The couch/pouch models gets somewhat more complex when you leave the one db per user model. If there are shared data buckets, the database access patterns require a good deal of thought and experience with the couch db auth model. Particularly it's limitations.

Offline access also requires thought around sensitive data. If a user has had their access revoked, an offline first app may preserve it which can rub against security requirements.

Initial sync can be very slow if you're dealing with a lot of data. This can be a poor experience if you make a new user wait minutes to get started. Or you can also build a backend so they can start immediately and then switch to the local copy after replication. I've build this kind of system before.

There are advantages to the route. Minimal data transfer from the server can represent lower load for your services. You can also do an offline only model for data, potentially lowering cloud costs for the number of users you serve - a definite boon for free tiers.

The replication is pretty slick and quick, web socket like snappy data without web sockets. Using tools that do most of the heavy lifting for you and you mostly have to just plumb correctly.
Laws (usually) reflect ethics.

Keep in mind there is a balance where the "ask" for receiving government funding may prevent the creation of the work in the first place.

Sometimes, the right balance may be to require the work to contractually enter the public domain in return for receiving funding. Sometimes, the government could negotiate something less than in order to get a net benefit.

That's really interesting. I believe that's the hallmark of a mature field, where it starts bumping up against the limits of understanding in an almost fractal way.

People who have lived the field for long enough can ignore all the curlicues and find a beating heart. Anyone coming in fresh is hammered with detail after detail.

I've noticed something similar with the game I play, Dota 2. It's obv not as rich or beautiful as music, but it's been around for a few decades already, and skill is percolating through the community in a beautiful way. Years and years of muscle memory means people can forget about all the minutae and practicalities and just play.
Those ads are why you can crank an obscure topic like the second French restoration into Google and get useful information.

Or you could just go straight to Wikipedia, whose only ads are for Wikipedia fund drives.
Again, we're looking for a good definition for explaining it to laypeople, and I don't find it that difficult. "Pulling a slot machine" or the one from the "solving Sudokus" both work pretty well.

The theoretical mathematician definition isn't very good either because I think enough people get that the novelty has some kind of inherent value that doing something repetitive like the above does not?

I used the term lifestyle business for a while, when dating and on dating apps.

Women were mostly enamored because they thought it was like a Youtuber thing, or lifestyle in the fashion sense, or a Youtuber telling people about lifestyle fashion of some sort.

Very different from "any line of business, implied as passively w/ recurring revenue, that happens to supports your lifestyle"

(I pivoted away from that, I found other truthful things that hit pretty well.)

Critical thinking is such a nebulous term there's not even an agreed-upon way of measuring it, much less old tests of it to compare against. It's largely been used by the educational establishment to justify why students come out of 13 years of compulsory schooling functionally innumerate and illiterate. Oh sure they don't know anything, but their critical thinking skills are off the charts!

If we use the slightly better-defined term of problem solving skills, there's no worse way of teaching that than putting a teacher up in front of 20 students teaching a standardised curriculum and giving out standardised tests. In the CS context, most students first learn how to think through a problem when they learn to code. What were they doing in school? Certainly not thinking through problems.

Edit: Also you completely misunderstood the import of those two questions. Anyone with a passing familiarity with world literature can answer the Dostoyevsky question, and anyone with a passing familiarity with geography or Russian history can answer the Urals question. You're note supposed to memorise the answer, the answer comes naturally if you're not pig-ignorant about the world. I wouldn't expect most students to know them, I sure as hell would expect more than 0.00% to know them. Kids know nothing because schools imbed extreme anti-intellectualism into even the brightest of kids.
You certainly get judder and stutter from projection and you do still get it on plasma it is just to me it is no way near as jarring to the eye as it is on my OLED.

Size, as far as I am aware, is not an issue. My OLED is 65" and my final plasma was 60" so similar enough to size plus the same is true on a 55" OLED (and even smaller).

Every industry has good and bad workplaces, with good and bad cultures. Maybe 30 years ago it was a fine workplace and then two of the curmudgeons joined, drove out a lot of people who weren't curmudgeons, and 30 years later you've ended up with a bad culture filled with curmudgeons.

I don't know anything about teaching in the US, but I don't think one experience like that really says much about the industry as a whole: it just says something about that particular workplace.
Not necessarily. Most database libraries support SQLite as an option, and if you must use PostgreSQL or MySQL, then having a container app solves those purposes nicely. Personally I'd like to see more applications move to file based storage, which scales more easily on distributed storage systems.
> As a small thought experiment, let's say you live in Consenusland next door to Authorityville. Authorityville comes to your richest members of society and says "we will pay you big money if you write news articles that cause chaos." Because the richest members of your society own all the media, all the business, and have control over politicians, they could easily do this. So some of them do and some of them don't, and society pays the cost of the chaos.

Consensus based systems assume that bad actors make up less than 50% of the political power. As long as that is true, Consensusville should be able to fight off the chaos from bad actors
> I want to push back on calling Uber's methods to avoiding regulations to be unethical, separately from discussing the wages.

Nope. Uber doesn't get a pass.

Uber could have confined themselves to the secondary cities with terrible cab service. Basically that's any city in the US other than New York and Chicago. People would (and some did!) have greeted them like liberators. For example, taxi service in Las Vegas was horrible until ridesharing showed up. San Diego taxis to the airport never showed up on time before ridesharing. etc.

Had Uber built up a commanding service in these secondary cities, they would have had all the momentum they needed to run over the incumbents in New York legally.

But, no, Uber decided they couldn't simply be a profitable business. Oh, no, they have to be unicorn-level and that wouldn't happen unless they were in the biggest cities right off. And then, when they showed up, they didn't even try to follow regulations with a fig leaf and were operating blatantly illegally.

And this is all on top of the fact that Uber and Lyft are skirting minimum wage laws.

I have sleep apnea, probably caused by having a big tongue, and did a home sleep test. My AHI was close to 60. I was prescribed a CPAP with a nose-only mask, and my AHI went to zero overnight. No issues whatsoever. Maybe try a different CPAP or mask combination if you only tried it with a mask that goes over the mouth.

This is a false dichotomy. Falcon Heavy is not government built. It nevertheless benefits from American largesse. SpinLaunch is in effect building the world's largest rail gun. If the proof of concept works they won't have trouble lining up grants.

You are agreeing with the parent comment with a tone of disagreement.

They never said what "cursor pagination" is or used the term at all. In this chain of comments, yours is the first one to use the term.

The comment you're replying to, like the original comment in this chain, merely said that this post is not about using "database cursors" for pagination. Which is correct, and you agreed that this is a different thing.

Apple nerfed everyone else's ads to grow their own ad business. Apple's version of privacy is that if Apple has the data it is private, but if anyone else does it is not private. Just go read Apple's TOS. They collect browsing history, location data, etc. For everyone else they just put it behind a setting. Not for their own data collection though.
GlueLam is fantastic, in the right context. I've seen large church spans in it which were modernist takes on old craft, beautiful both as wood and engineering. I still like massive Oak beams, but I like GlueLam too.

Plywood is fantastic. Look at the Mosquito! But more seriously, it was a designers dream from the day they got it "right" for tensile strength and glue/moisture issues.

MDF is kind of meh. It weighs a tonne, and it sucks paint up like a builder in the bar after work. But it has it's place. Damp.. nightmare.

(had work done on a wooden house in Qld, it made extensive use of GlueLam for structural support, Plywood for rigidity and wind shear load bearing, and MDF for routed patterns: walls and ceilings in Qld used (and still often are) made of (vertically joined, in the case of walls) Tongue-and-Groove or "vee-jay" and is very hard to get at old dimensions, and lumber from a "restoration station" (recycling centre) is very exy now. So for mixing new build with old build, MDF+router == same width pattern of VJ grooves.

If its structural and hidden (or not, if you like it's look) then manufactured wood is really great stuff.
The $4000/student/year wasn’t a real figure, nor was it a reference to total costs per student (obviously schools have more than payroll costs)… it is the result of the two hypothetical numbers I gave when divided. Use whatever numbers you want, caring for special needs groups always costs way more per student than for others.

I disagree with the rest. Universal schooling is an important part of a health society. It is up to the government to provide adequate funding for its obligations. Systematically discriminating to ease budget constraints is not an ethical solution.
Authority isn’t always rooted in force or threat of force.

“The commons” is/was publicly owned, but without any real threat of force behind it.

On the other hand, some contributions to a conversation are simply beyond the boundaries of common sense in such a way (blindingly obvious, unacceptable, dangerously naive, etc.) that ridicule is appropriate. Even if the contribution was made in good faith. Ridicule has numerous powerful social functions: it helps social groups self-govern, transmits knowledge from one generation to the next, enables social groups to circumscribe what is acceptable in a bottom-up way, and so on. Sometimes a little public skewering is exactly what's needed to give everyone something to think about. It's an online comment. Real names weren't used. There appears to be an overwhelming consensus as to the quality of the contribution (it's so light I can barely read it). No one's suffering any undue injury.
I tried intermittent fasting by not having dinner, and I noticed that my heartburn went away almost immediately. I stuck to it pretty much because of that. Not sure how it relates to my sleep apnea because I had already fixed it by then, but it is probably worth a try if CPAP didn't work.
> FAANG is “catalyzing the downfall of the world”? We’re in “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” territory.

All the free software and privacy activists needed was Edward Snowden to leak the illegal harvesting and collection of user data done by the NSA and with Big Tech helping along quietly with the PRISM project.

Ever since they were all caught in the act, they are now screaming about privacy all of a sudden as they pretend to care about it whilst they waste resources and burn up the planet with their broken deep learning models in tens of thousands of data centers on user data only for surveillance.

Little to nothing has changed. Despite these regulations, Big Tech is still getting bigger and pushing for more surveillance and aiding the existence of another digital dystopia.

We must use computers much differently.

I don't login from new computers often, I have my personal machine and mobile phone. It's great to be able to login from a phone without needing a password manager or manually typing a 50 character randomly generated password where I need to be sitting in front of my main computer to even login. If you really have that many computers you'd still need to sync a password manager between all of them to login with a password.

I also don't browse with incognito mode on sites where I'm expected to be logged in unless I have multiple accounts that I want to have logged in simultaneously.

I also don't routinely switch browsers and if I do I only have to login once per browser and I'm done for a year or however long the site saves it for.

That doesn't sound like insanity to me? I didn't even think about them while writing my original reply because they are such outlier events.
So, according to the first amendment I can just taze the supreme court, and roll back citizens united, and reinstate roe v wade?

That's as batshit crazy as recent assertions that nothing the courts rule can be sexist; after all, women would just run for seats on the supreme court if they cared; they're a majority of the population, after all.

Since the nonsense in the last paragraph actually came from a recent supreme court majority opinion, I'm wondering if you can point to a supreme court ruling backing up your statement.

I don't see any information about this team of non-lawyer legal experts when doing a quick search, but regardless non-lawyers with legal training are usually still pretty expensive.

Most small claims even require mediation before trial, so if you don't get it settled before then you can just request dismissal without prejudice.

We just all shuffled our current jobs because those who shuffled got stuff those who didn’t shuffle were refused.
