It certainly had an unconventional approach, which was considered a tabloid style (similar to the 'red top' newspapers in the UK, the sun, the mirror etc)

I believe Mike Magee who was one of the founders was responsible for this, and he was involved until he fell out with the direction it was going in the early 2000s, and went on to form The Inquirer, which was a similar publication (although long gone).

Ya, but you gotta roll your own process for the stuff React and co. provide easy methods to do. It's just a lot of boilerplate for small projects. I don't know if web components will really be a "library killer" in the same way browser APIs have done with jQuery.

Very similar to Buddhism. I wonder if there is a historic link or it’s discovered independently.
Hopefully your neighbors see the difference and a few decide to take your lead!
Of course. But good security teams also say "no you can't do that even though it would be the fastest path to market." And looking at a team that says "no" and saying "ugh these people aren't builder they are just getting in the way" is a great way to end up with a company that is irresponsible towards their users.

We can talk about whether this particular team is effective. We can talk about unclear scope (though, IMO, the scope here is no less clear than "privacy"). But the complaint that teams that put barriers in front of other teams are always bad is insufficient at best and downright dangerous at worst.
Let's assume you want to build a decentralized application according to my personal definition of decentralization: peer-to-peer with no application servers of any kind.

1. To me this means IP address to IP address communication. But but but IPv4 NAT address: for this there are TURN servers which look pretty expensive. A TURN service provides application layer routing, like a proxy, to route data to a respective node on a private network.

2. I don't want to pay for TURN or deal with the extra layer, so I just write off nodes limited to a NAT IPv4 address on a separate subnet.

3. You need to account for session/relationship management. For this I am using a tiered model whereby nodes are assigned a group identity that allows for increases to access inversely proportional to autonomy.

4. You need some manner of trust validation. This is the piece social media doesn't know how to solve without some sort of centralized ledger. I am just using certificates and putting this liability directly onto the users to properly execute a text challenge response.

5. In a peer-to-peer decentralized model both ends run a listener for incoming connections on a fixed port. That sounds amazingly close to the definition of a server, but each connection is otherwise a client-to-client tunnel with a random client port on both ends. That means one end creates a client connection and points to a remote user running a listener. That listener spawns a connection to a client port and performs the checks to verify connection establishment, validation, anything else. After that initial processing on the listener you are left with a connection. If the connection is bidirectional both ends must listen for incoming data equivalently and must manage sessions and relationships equivalently.

Finally, you need to rethink how your prioritize software. Commercially software obtains value from that which you own, which is either a copyright on an application or data in a database. In a decentralized world data is that which you are willing to access or transmit and nothing more. The value is purely functional to your application and nothing for you to secure behind a subscription.

That said the value of a decentralized application comes down to three things:

* automation - whether the application eliminates manual effort

* transmission - whether the application can connect over a network in a way that resembles immediate local device access, such as real time bidirectional communication

* utility - does the application do something amazing, which is more than putting data on a screen. You have to think bigger than a webpage or a spreadsheet.

Once you solve for transmission and OS challenges end to end encryption is as simple as turning on your application.
Nothing in the comment you’re replying to mentioned software engineers. They claim people building things are unlikely to spend time in “responsible innovation” teams. That’s true if one’s building rockets, medicines or cat GIF sorters.
The point is that adding CO2 is necessary to solve a problem that greenhouses create, the enclosed plants deplete the available CO2 and stop growing. It's not applicable to the world at large.

In an open atmosphere plants aren't limited by available CO2, they are limited by sunlight, temperature, soil nutrients, or usually water availability. Adding more CO2 has little to no benefit for the plants.
Funny that the "you don't actually know" critique comes in response not to the nakedly disparaging post that kicked this off, but the comment arguing for responsible software development.

We of course don't know enough of the specifics, because Facebook works hard to keep it that way. But we do know that Facebook has a body count. If you're looking for a "valuable entry point for discussion", maybe start with Facebook's well-documented harms.
> The author seems to be arguing that a societal focus on helping disadvantaged people is harmful to those who are the most advantaged.

Not even sure why something so self-evidently true needs to be argued. The time and resources spent on helping the disadvantaged by the very nature is not spent on the advantaged ones. Which means that they get less than they otherwise could have. Yes. And?
Here’s a good example where engineers needed a team like this:

Several millions people named Alexa now have everyone from toddlers to their friends yelling their name ordering them to do stupid tasks and “Alex stop” repeatedly.

>The government spending grows to fit available revenues

This is trivial from the fact that the government is not a for profit entity.

>and available revenues grow to fit whatever the taxpayers can still bear

This is also trivial because taxpayers and voters sufficiently overlap.

However, some governments have borrowed more from the future than other governments, and just like a business with more debt service has less to spend on other expenses and/or has less profit, a government with more debt service has to spend less on infrastructure/services and/or has to increase taxes.

100% this.

It's very much in the spirit of "the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy". There's no better way for someone to justify their existence than creating problems but appearing to solve problems for other people. Compliance, security, etc. These things are usually necessary but it does attract a certain kind of person who seems predisposed to empire building through obstacle creation.

You see the same thing with people who become moderators. I saw this years ago on Stack Overflow. You see it on Wikipedia. You see it on reddit. You have to be constantly vigilant that these people don't get out of hand. These people end up treating the process as the goal rather than the means to an end.

I remember when the moderators starting closing SO topics as "not constructive". There were a ton of questions like "should I do X or Y?" and the mods decided one day to start closing these became there was no definitive answer. You can list the advantages and disadvantages of each option and list the factors to consider. That can be incredibly value. Can this descend into a flamewar? Absolutely. But just kill the flamewars and the people who start them. No point throwing out the baby with the bath water.
I didn't find the author's argument compelling. The "Hero's Journey" continues to be a useful model to understand both myth as well as an individual's growth into mature adulthood.

React is about a whole lot more than just web components. It's also a strategy for state management, life cycle, etc. I don't expect web components will ever replace react, but I think it's possible we'll see a new generation of react-like competitors that use web components under the hood.
To simulate something is not to be something. Simulations are approximations of the thing. What you're implying is that we can't simulate anything, as the simulation can never be the thing. Can we not simulate the weather or the solar system because we can't take into account every possible detail? If your position is that nothing can be Turing complete, than why should anyone care about Turing completeness?

Not the person you're replying to, but I don't think I'd characterize myself as being "upset", just... disappointed? Annoyed? Most people's opinions of cats as pets are informed by inaccurate, negative stereotypes, while most people's opinions of dogs (even if they don't have one or rarely interact with one) are positively influenced by the "Man's Best Friend" stereotype.

Opinions are fine, if they're informed by actual experience, or at least secondhand experience by trusted parties. But I think most opinions about cats are not that, and it's unfortunate. They do the entire species a disservice.
My favorite keyboard is the Kinesis Advantage 2. It saved my software engineering career. I have them at home and work. Worth every penny. Their support is fantastic too.

> There are already concerts with paid tickets going on in platforms like Fortnite, that just happen to be able to act as multi-user VR environments, even though that wasn't their designed purpose. The demand is real.

You have that the other way around. Fortnite was able to host a concert because people like to play Fortnite. There is no demand for VR concerts, there is perhaps some demand for concerts in already-populated online spaces.

People aren't flocking to Fortnite because of the concerts. People who play Fortnite are flocking to these concerts when they happen in their game.

Where these basic technologies really start to fall down is when your pages become increasingly dynamic. You start running into an issue where you have to define your structure multiple times: once in HTML, and at least once in JS since that's where you're dynamically updating things.

While I don't know the answer, I'd think maintainability is the big constraint there. In the extreme case, imagine the difficulty of pinpointing and fixing any problem when all your systems are nested shells with a massive surface area. You'd need to take half the station apart any time something went wrong.
The key reason web frameworks dominate these days is that it's very hard to keep the UI in sync with state.

That's it - that's the problem they solve. People started writing vanilla HTML/CSS/JS and struggling to make "reactivity" (hence React) work well when web applications got complex with a lot of state to manage. So we started building frameworks on frameworks and abstractions on abstractions and ended up where we are today.

It's gone a bit far but the overall purpose is a valid one.

(From someone who has used React professionally but uses vanilla HTML/CSS/JS for his personal website)
Yes, it's a terrible article.

Is a cool web. The part of the globe is an interesting way to show data online at real time.
If they did analysis using tools and methods that weren't available / affordable 20 years ago, then preserving the samples for that long might have been wise.
I like the way you think. You'll go far in top management.
Maybe, but it's not like great trade-off on a global scale.

Extreme latitudes are colder because they receive their sunlight at an angle. The tilt of the Earth and the seasons make things more complicated, but conceptually, if you are at latitude 45, you are also at a 45 degree angle relative to the sun, so sunlight is only 70% as intense as it is at the equator.

With increased global temperatures, northern latitudes may have longer growing seasons, but they'll still have a different, probably inferior climate to what you're losing further south.

So while there may be winners and losers on a global scale, the winners will probably win less than the losers lose.
I would think yes. In a submarine, the vessel is buoyant, yet the contents are subject to regular gravity. I think the same reasoning applies to a body and its organs and fluids. Contrast with space where everything floats.
Negotiating the title and then researching salary bands for that title probably will give you more insight into what to expect, once you have a better understanding of their bands, asking a number in top 10% of the particular band should be doable. If the number doesnt impress you, ask for a higher title.
Syntax highlighting in the shell vaguely helps.
Sandor Ellix Katz has some fantastic books about fermentation. Really, really suggest checking them out.

One thing that stuck out to me was when he talked about the relationship between people and their environment. How health is not in a vacuum, but in constant negotiation and collaboration with the world around you. He uses this to suggest fermenting things yourself, to engage in this process with the microbes in your environment. It's easy and fun!

Here's a 6 minute video where Katz talks about fermentation, and walks you through a basic process, in a beautiful and rustic kitchen I still dream about getting to cook in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i77hU3zR-fQ
You can already run ML models with GPU acceleration in WebGL using tensorflow.js and other libraries. WebGPU will make things better for sure, but I think the major obstacles to running large models like Stable Diffusion will not be solved by WebGPU.

WebGPU will not expose Nvidia-specific tensor cores, at least initially. But the main issues are with loading and processing gigabytes of data in browsers, which aren't addressed by WebGPU at all. You'll have difficulty downloading and storing all that data and quickly run into out of memory crashes.
It seems more like an incentive problem. I'd be interested to see what happens if you give the deciders X% of any unused budget as an EOY bonus.

I hope your company never makes it to the EU. The notion of housing as an investment rather than a basic human need has priced many people out of the market, and Airbnb's have impacted the availability of rental stock exacerbating the housing issue in many locales further.
Weird. How is it I am feeling nostalgic for the ads?
But I also think "back in the days" life was more fixed. Probably getting a full time job as employee, starting a family, getting a house was not really optional. Now there are much more choices. Add to that all the hyper-connectivity. I don't really think people were better off but were just forced to handle everything more calmly. Growing up in the 90s, what I've found is that things changed a lot when people were starting their jobs.
> But building the software is not hard.

Yes, but not making a mess of dark mode is worth criticizing by now.
> What makes the trade-off of all that extra complexity and abstraction worth it?

For most applications the extra complexity is not worth it. React started off as a simple library but now it has bloated with Redux and ReactRouter and Hooks and all that nonsense.

You can do plain HTML/CSS/JS development for most projects. Here's an example:
https://github.com/wisercoder/eureka
It uses a couple of 500-line libs, that's it. No complicated framework, and yet you will be more productive.
I don't get it, how is it that the simple question of "compared to what?" is just completely omitted and seemingly never even considered by so many authors? Do people just operate with plain dead end facts without context or curiosity about how normal is even characterized or distributed? Is the idea of a nominal case/measure/etc so foreign? I wonder what series of basic questions could be memorized that could be a tool for authors to ask themselves to elicit getting this information or at least stating that the answers are unknown.
>I've had to replace one or both airpods not once, not twice, but thrice. But, to Apple's credit, they have handled it gracefully each time. The first time it did take a bit of convincing as there weren't many documented cases on the subject.

How did they "handle it gracefully"? You don't seem upset, but I got second hand customer service frustration reading this.
