The "infrastructure" here is advertising, or rather, the need to fund real world things with advertising because there's no way yet to micrometer what users consume on the internet and get them cough up money for it.
Also, and this is a big one: DALL-E has an overzealous filter, which blocks seemingly harmless prompts as "violating content guidelines".

Yep, this is exactly why I recommend everybody I know to buy the biggest, largest car you can buy. The outcome of vehicular collisions is based almost entirely on who has more mass and energy, and you might as well set yourself to win. Sure, big cars cost more to operate-- but $150 fill-ups are nothing compared to a lifetime of chronic pain and injury.

UberSuggest Chrome Extension tracks your location data extensively
I was debugging something & searched for jquery in the Network tab and stumbled upon an API call to pro.ip-api.com and when I found the response for the API, I was shell shocked to see the detailed being captured.

Here are the things that I found pro.ip-api.com was capturing about my location

{
"as": "My ISP Pvt Ltd",
"city": "My City",
"country": "My Country Name",
"countryCode": "My Country Code",
"isp": "My ISP",
"lat": my.lat,
"lon": my.long,
"org": "Something",
"query": "My.Actual.IP",
"region": "Quite Close Region Code",
"regionName": "Quite Close Region Name",
"status": "success",
"timezone": "Accurate/Timezone",
"zip": "Accurate ZIP"
}

PS - The data UberSuggest captures is very scary. I use UberSuggest for SEO purposes. For the time being, I have blocked this API end point with the following Requestly Rule - https://app.requestly.io/rules/#sharedList/1664432223477-Block-Pro-IP-API

More Importantly, UberSuggest fires this on every page/domain. I assume every analytics tool captures Country & City so that'd have been fine but tracking information till region, ISP & ZIP code is unacceptable.

Should I try contacting Neil Patel and tell him about this before dropping a review on Chrome Store.
We already have an air-traffic control network to prevent collisions. It works pretty well, except for general aviation aircraft without TCAS flying under VFR near non-towered airports.

https://www.planeandpilotmag.com/news/2021/06/14/plane-facts...

We already have flying roads to manage an orderly flow. Air traffic controllers will sometimes hold aircraft on the ground to prevent congestion and maintain the minimum safe separation intervals. At busy airports sometimes aircraft are forced to circle in the pattern several times waiting their turn to land.

> Driving at the same speed as the rest of the traffic is being predictable

This is easier said than done. There's a stretch of freeway between the Bay Bridge and Candlestick park where the speed limit is mostly 50 mph and a portion 55 mph. Nearly no one goes 50. They generally go 65-70. And yet, friends have gotten speeding tickets for going over 55. Those speeding tickets end up costing $2000-$3000 in increased car insurance over the years it takes to clear the points on your record.

I wish the CHP would patrol the area and get traffic to slow down. Or add cameras and fines. Or raise the speed limit to 65 if it's safe (probably not).
Cheers, I have never before heard anyone else say these points I've been arguing (without me saying it first, at least). I feel a real sense of relief not being the only person "in the room" to say this, for once.

The problem is all the people calling whatever we have a free market. It would be more appropriate to just call it market or capitalist market because there are also social market theories. The free market represents an unattainable utopia.

What pissess me off the most is that a lot of capitalists actually like monopolies and externalities and then shout and complain that the government is ruining the "free market".
> Or raise the speed limit to 65 if it's safe (probably not).

The safest value for a speed limit is what 85% of the drivers would do anyway. If everyone goes 65-70, then it's definitely safe for the speed limit to be raised to at least 65. This is exactly what they should do, and if they can't for some political reason, the next best thing would be to basically not enforce the speed limit at all on that road anymore.

You really can't at that point. You'd just be showing them that if they bring out the nuclear weapons, everyone else will just fold.

"How do you expect the 1st party to stay in business?"

Here is a different way to look at what is going on lately in the short history of the internetowrked computer. To me, there is no legitimate "business". Meta cannot charge IG users a fee. They will not pay. If they would pay, then why not charge them. Instead Meta exploits IG visitors by spying on them. Advertisers will pay. Third parties will be interested in the data Meta collects. What Meta is doing with FB, IG or WhatsApp is not legit "business" IMHO, because, IMO, a business generally produces something of value that people pay for. Generally, Meta does not do that.

Newspapers sold advertising, but people were willing to pay for newspapers. Because newpapers produced something of value. They employed people to produce a product that people paid for: journalism.

Meta does not employ people to produce something of value that people will pay for. The content on these apps comes from the people who use them, and from journalists emplyed by newspapers, but not Meta. Meta make people the product, access to and data on which they sell to paying customers. Websites and apps are not "products". In this "business" the people who use them, their behaviour and the details of their lives, are the product.

A kid's lemonade stand looks more legit as "business" to me than a "tech" company producing so-called "products" that are given away for free, as bait. These are not the product that customers pay for, that no one likes to talk about.

Billboards owners sell advertising. They own or lease real estate with high visibility to traffic. It is difficult to avoid billboards because we generally use the same paths to travel in physical space. As such, billboards are regulated. Not everyone with land adjacent to high traffic routes can erect billboards. See, e.g., Highway Beautification Act of 1965.

Perhaps Meta is like a billboard company in a world that has yet to regulate billboards. IMO, Meta is far more of a hazard to life than a billboard is to the beauty of a highway. Meta does more than display advertising to people who use their websites and apps. Meta's "business model" is a threatening the stability of society. If it is allowed to continue, it should be heavily regulated.

Imagine someone telling you, "If you don't like the billboards, don't look at them." Or "If you don't like the billboards, don't use the highway." It is not so simple. Now imagine Meta tells you, "If you don;t look at the billboards, you cannot use the highway".

Meta is obscuring the true potential of the internet. It has given the internet a bad rap. Meta is not the internet nor its potential to improve people's lives anymore than billboards are the scenery. If left unregulated, billboards can obscure the scenery and eventually they can destroy it.

I personally have fasted for 28 days. The dangerous part isn't micronutrients, it's electrolytes. Fasting for an extended period can put you at a dangerously low level of certain electrolytes like phosphorus, which upon refeeding, are taken into the cells, which results in levels low enough to cause death. This is why extended fasting regimens should only be done with medical supervision.

Also, the initial onset of ketogenesis from fasting is very rough for people who aren't used to it. Most people's bodies are not used to it, and they won't be able to think clearly, they won't have much energy, etc.
This is so awesome idea. I wish, I had this when I was learning about atoms and molecules.
I do something like this with the text output of my scripts, when debug mode is enabled: https://imgz.org/i6DpehGZ-1280.png

Each character corresponds to one line in the debug log, and is determined (via hashing) by the subprocedure writing to the log.

It gives me a "general feel" of what's going on, and makes it easy to, at minimum, detect infinite loops.

Why did you expect the grocers to take the glass walls back down again? The item has already been purchased and even if corona is just a cold at this point... Why remove it now? You still increase the chance of infection for any airborne illness which would have the cashier go on sick leave. Literally no incentive to remove it now that the money for the purchase and assembly has been spent.

They likely won't put them into new stores but i don't expect them to go down until they're so worn down that you can't look through them anymore.

I don't buy your issues with the distancing either. There are a lot of people that always disliked others getting close to them. This group might've increased now, but that doesn't mean it's anxiousness because of corona.

You're just noticing things for the first time and blame a sickness that was overly zealously warned against for a short time.
> but the `if err != nil` ends up polluting codebases

Pollute implies that it is unwanted, but this is something you do want. It is the most interesting and important part of your application logic. You want it up front and centre for all to see.

I think we all understand the human desire to want to believe that bad things won't happen, but when one becomes an engineer they have to set those emotions aside and realize that bad things will happen and that your job is to make sure that when bad things do happen that the failsafes achieve an acceptable outcome.

> I'm not sure what the better way to do it is tbh.

I'm not sure any better is fundamentally possible within an engineering context. The vast majority of the job is in understanding the failure modes and being able to communicate to the computer how to gracefully deal with the problems when they occur. As such, it stands to reason that the vast majority of the code is going to be related to errors.

If you are programming for hobby/learning purposes, where when bad things happen your program can simply crash with no consequence, there are different approaches that work well, but Go is decidedly not designed for this space. And, frankly, doesn't need to be as there are already plenty of languages designed for that. Go is, quite explicitly, meant to be an engineering language.
Depleted uranium rounds produce more radioactive contamination than a dirty bomb yet we lost our collective mind over the second and don't even think about the first.

It's interesting to observe the different perspectives of different national backgrounds. Here in Sweden a lot of the preparation that has become much more common is about social cohesion and working together (see https://www.dw.com/en/swedish-preppers-a-nation-rehearsing-d...). In contrast a lot of US prepping seems to be about protecting yourself from your neighbors, because they are after you (you express a similar sentiment so I assume you are a US American). This was also discussed in a recent post about an article in the guardian (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32711413).
Btw I’m not an expert but I believe Haskell treats all functions as unary, but they’re translated to N-ary in an optimizing compiler.

I like Arduino IDE as kind of a living reminder of "how the other half lives". I'm sitting here with Tinygo and my J-Link pushing several revisions of my code per minute (not to mention fucking goroutines and channels on an ARM M0 core), and other people are fiddling for hours trying to get Arduino IDE to compile code for 45 minutes only to be told COM69 is no longer connected (because Windows decided that it's now COM123).

I really think that professional software engineers are trolling "normal people" with stuff like this. Oh, you want to be a programmer? Jump through these 8 million flaming hoops suspended over man-eating sharks, and you'll see just how hard it is to make an LED blink. After failing, you will dedicate a new national holiday to our sacrifices; we do this for a living and you should be grateful that literal human garbage like you are even allowed to THINK about monitoring the water level of your potted plants. But behind the scenes, we don't do this for a living. When we press TAB, our IDE knows exactly which level to indent the text too. When we want to reflash our microcontroller, it does a diff of the last binary we pushed and updates only the 3 flash cells that actually changed and updates it in microseconds. When we want the documentation for some library function, it pops up in a web browser hovering above our cursor. Our life is nothing like this. We just use our skills to give you tools to make you think programming sucks.

It's all a scam.
