At the end the article claimed that censorship prevented creation of good movies. In Soviet Union a few good movies were made despite draconian censorship.

Then after abolishment of all censorship there were less good films from former USSR. It almost looked like directors tried to put all previously banned sex, violence and cursing on screen but in the process forgot how to film good stories.
probably an overestimate: first users are usually free or cheap, the price is raised later. but still impressive.

I just did research on caffeine in tea, and the results are all over the place. One brand of Earl Grey can have twice as much caffeine as the other.

Even then, 50 is the upper bound if you seep the tea for 5 minutes, and it's still much less than coffee.

Be aware, the code is not framerate independent. Maybe that was intentional? Put up a PR to make it framerate independent but also just wanted to pass it on, if you have code using requestAnimationFrame and you want your effects/animations to run at the same speed across browsers you need to compute a deltaTime between frames and use that to calculation your animations. Otherwise, people on different devices will get different effects/experiences.

In this case I'm on a M1 Mac and Chrome runs requestAnimationFrame at 120fps, at least on the built in display (external displays get whatever they're set to. I have one at 60 and one at 72)

I wonder if the Outhorse Your Email one is bigger anyway.

I agree with the idea that solutions can lie in more than just negotiations. But I will also say that I’m at the point in my life[1] where I believe the vast majority of solutions do lie almost purely in some form of negotiation.

Take your own example:

> After all, if you plead for some time to address technical debt and do platform improvements, you might just get told "no" to, given that in certain cultures people won't view these things as something that generates value directly and convincing them otherwise will be an uphill battle.

This right here is a negotiation between business and engineering. The business unit cares about technical debt only if it affects successful delivery of business goals. As such it needs to be negotiated along those lines. In fact, I’d say you make a wonderful negotiation right after:

> So why not just announce that X% of the following sprint or month will be spent on these things, to ensure successful continued operations?

That is an excellent negotiation right there. The business cares about successful continued operations. Stopping everything to focus entirely on technical debt is not successful to the business. Allocating x% time to a mutually beneficial goal where x can be continuously tweaked is an acceptable point.

> After all, you don't ask business about using a version control system, do you? You just go ahead and do what's necessary to version your project.

The thing about this point is that it is:

A) easy to get setup.

B) well understood enough now to know the benefits to the organization

I’d argue that ci/cd is coming closer to that point now. Definitely is on the right trajectory and for the same reasons. Easy to setup and the benefits are well known and easily understood.

More nebulous topics like testing and tech debt will for the foreseeable future be topics requiring decent negotiation.

[1] I may change my mind on this in the future. Definitely been around on topics where I believe one thing, believe an alternate point of view, and later have a softer or accepting view of the original idea :).

Facebook Blocked Apps Bug
Facebook has a bug for a while and it happens for certain users only.
The bug is that it does not display the list of the apps you have blocked.

It sounds not a biggy one, but if you block an app on Facebook you can no longer have the option to unblock it, you need first to retrieve the apps you have blocked and then click unblock.

So you are stuck and you can no longer access the app.

I've contacted developer support from Facebook and they told me it's not related to them and to contact Facebook Help Center.

It's been a few months and still no response from Facebook.

Maybe someone around here can trigger some investigation, who knows...

Thanks.
I fit that pattern, but I am self-employed.

These breaks are required for sustained productivity. They let me ponder, zoom out, reconsider. It shakes better ideas loose.
Its quite a unique capability, to be able to refine the polarity after the fact. I've been seeing quite a lot of folks get set up for live performance, record the gig, and then get better separation during mastering. I honestly think other microphone manufacturers should adopt this technique, as it is clearly a leap forward for production engineers ..
I don't think the causation goes from fiat money. That's a small technicality for most organisations. However, I do think the increased financialisation of the corporate world in general stands to blame quite a bit.

Finance, through accounting, is the original paper-pushing field. Some level of it is helpful, but it's very easy to invent busywork too, start requesting more metadata about the work of others, and create jobs that are fundamentally not about doing the thing, but just about observing the thing being done.

Not even observation in a particularly useful sense, but just because someone was curious what work looks like from this and that angle. And instead of actually doing the work to find out what it looks like from multiple angles, there's this whole hierarchy of people who just observe each other and get paid boatloads for it.
> Making people habitually say "I love coca-cola" to access their online accounts seems likely to erode people's sense of self.

I noticed a related effect after getting a Google Home. After a while, my first instinct if I wanted something, was to call out “Hey, Google!” into an empty room. I was literally reprogrammed, in the most disgusting sense possible, to have a brand embedded into my brain as an integral part of a frequent habit.

I don’t want the future to look like this. It’s far too close to the “verification can” meme for my liking.
I have recently used Paddle for a small saas. I am selling a Pro plan that give access to a restricted feature of the web app. As the Pro plan was introduced as a later stage, Paddle verification team accepted to review a "staging" version of the web app before I post it to production. I definitely talk to real humans, but I took time to express my situation. Paddle integration not too painful (good but not perfect documentation) considered it was my first saas. I might write about it if some of you are interested.
> Estimate the age of child users with a reasonable level of certainty appropriate to the risks that arise from the data management practices of the business or apply the privacy and data protections afforded to children to all consumers

I'm hearing that as "wave a magic wand that costs way too much per shake and hope the magic is strong enough that you don't get sued in one of three different ways."

It gets even more abiguous:

> Configure all default privacy settings provided to children by the online service, product, or feature to settings that offer a high level of privacy, unless the business can demonstrate a compelling reason that a different setting is in the best interests of children.

How are we defining "high level of privacy?" The text seems to imply just the "highest setting you have available."

And all of this hinging on if a child is "likely" to access the service in any way.

Climatologists, who are scientists, are not comparable to witch doctors, who are practitioners of stone age superstition. Yes, people outsource some of their thinking, but this is not a bad thing given that it's impossible to critically evaluate everything. Our bandwidth is highly limited, meaning some level of cautious targeted outsourcing actually maximizes the accuracy of our opinions. I would say such opinions are still based on empiricism, ableit via indirection.
There are other jobs out there that are not creating social engineered advertising or spammy malware games.

Online shopping could be considered useful for humanity.

I can see on LinkedIn right now there are jobs for a company that will identify and help you reduce your companies carbon footprint, there are a couple looking at Vision based Machine Learning for automated sorting of recycling. And then there is a university startup wanting software engineers to help them with their bio-scientists get going with some new cancer research.

I would agree with the grand parent post that most ad development has not been beneficial to society.
I think for an average Martian Joe any type of outdoor recreation would be a rare thing. Rip your suit in this rugged rocky landscape and almost immediately you start to develop serious injuries, pass out and die. And what if you vomit? How do you pee? Cheaply protecting someone from radiation, near-vacuum, and below freezing temperatures while keeping them comfortable is way beyond our current level of tech.

Most likely if we actually built a city of people on Mars, life would be similar to living on an earth city but with low-G and you never go outdoors. We'd replicate typical earth city attractions and add a low-G spin where it was appropriate. Access to nature would be a problem (expensive fake Earth hab dome, dangerous outdoor games, no unfiltered sunlight on your skin, etc.)

Elon's ravings notwithstanding, what makes sense to me is extensive robotic exploration of Mars, perhaps operated by a skeleton crew of people who don't need quite the extensive training and qualifications of an astronaut. With enough exploring, experimenting and digging and we're likely to find something very exciting.

In reality they don't even want to spend a fraction of the money for either project.

> Hydro is unsustainable and is not scalable. It's completely tapped out in developed nations

Its not tapped out in Norway or Iceland but there is enough already, they don't need more.

> Nuclear is unpopular, and apparently having serious problems in France currently.

It has serious problem in France because the anti-nuclear forced tried to destroy nuclear for the last 10 years and deliberately stopped investing and maintaining. They want to force the reduction of nuclear. Arguable nuclear has been politically embattled for much longer.

And whatever problem nuclear might have, compared to the problems of space solar its a small problem.
There is no such thing as "objectively harmful", all harm or good is decided through values, and those values differ. The exact same way you deal with paedophilia, is the way some countries deal with the LGBT.

It doesn't have to be governments only as well, the Middle East is majority Muslim after all, and muslims do get incredibly offended at LGBT stuff (a lot of Arabic insults are just variations on "gay"). So, according to you, those private citizens and corporations should be allowed to ban the LGBT, it's not censorship if the government isn't doing it right?

>I never argued this.

No, but you did argue for something indistinguishably similar, which is that because a news story is found on Fox then this news story is not actually censored. So, by that same unassailable logic, LGBT stuff is on Netflix and therefore LGBT stuff is not actually being censored. All objections you have against my satire argument is applicable to your real argument.

Canada used to innovate, a lot- and was a decently recognized power during the world wars. Now.. not so much. I blame it on companies gaining more power, the conservatives privatization national assets leading to higher col and lower standards of living. More and more companies extracting wealth to provide the bare minimum.

Canada of today is not the Canada of last century.for both better and worse.

That's very interesting, but it seems rather dependant on implementation details - or is ELF parsing on each of these OSes considered stable?

I mean, if one of the non-FreeBSD OSes started insisting on a certain value for e_ident[EI_OSABI] then presumably he'd have to redo all this from scratch with a different technique.
It doesn’t take away from the point, what does though is focusing on wording and forbidden “rhetoric” where as missing the argument entirely. Missing or deciding to miss is arguable in this case.

Worth checking that Firefox is (also) using the GPU correctly.
Running from memory is no big deal. You gain all and everything like a normal system and can still log persistent to some lokal disk or a remote central log service as it is quite common.

For example, all Ceph storage nodes bootet with croit.io run in RAM and have no OS installed. But you still have all logs and everything available right out of the box.

Ok maybe I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but if I worked at a central bank or at a government, and predicted a spike in inflation, the last thing I'd do is tell the press. Instead I'd have the media push the "everything's fine" narrative to keep the wheel turning and avoid any kind of panic

I genuinely don’t believe it’s the same thing because we have proof that it isn’t.

In one example we have a government enforcing a systematic ban that prevented any access to content, in the other we have a singular streaming service making an editorial decision that was expressly rejected by their competitors and widely denounced. No access to content was lost.
