> to a lesser extent 2008

Why to a lesser extent? 2008 seemed far worse due to the overall recession impacts and the fact that it wasn't just tech companies. I got laid off from my tech job at a non-tech company for example. Both occurrences wrecked a lot of lives (mine included) though, I'll give you that.
DEXs don't interface with state backed currencies, which makes them have limited utility for typical users who want to engage in economies they actively live in.
There was the dot com bubble burst in 2000, so there has actually been one. A few years after the 2008 crash sounds about right to when people started talking about tech bubbles again to me.
IMO making "a new Wordpress" doesn't feel like a great alternative -- Wordpress is pretty good as it is, and you have the option of self-hosting fairly painlessly if you want to.

The fun of late-90s website-making is real though, but I don't see a turn towards that for the vast majority of people.

One nice corner of optimism is projects like Glitch [1], which give just enough space to explore, go wild, and quickly host what you make.

10 seconds of searching is where your argument falls apart, good luck with that.

Anyway you are justifying this destructive behavior with more destructive behavior? It's no wonder you don't take more time to understand these things.
This site was put up in 2019 presumably with images from 2015-2019 era algorithms. This was early in the viability of these image generation techniques, so the authors work is kind of precinct.

However the state of the art of image generation has moved - I suspect a 2022 version of this would be substantially harder.
How is this any different from a physical grocery store deciding on what to position on the ends of the rows due to incentive? People love to act like these problems brought on by the internet are new but all to often it's just an evolution.
I just installed it on my homelab k3s instance, with Gitea also providing OAuth2. It went surprisingly smoothly (less the time I spent figuring out the typo in the helm chart...)
I agree. The F-150 Lightning is perhaps the polar opposite of the Mach-E. It's practical, and has literally dozens of smart choices made that leverage the utility of electric without them feeling remotely like tech demos.

If you extend the boring -> practical line out to "exciting," that seems to be where I mentally position the Rivian right now. It does largely feel like a tech demo, but one that is carefully considered, if somewhat less utilitarian.
I really hate that so many things break after you switch keyboard layouts.

Many shortcuts are positional, like "hjkl" or "wasd" for moving , or control/meta+numbers but there's no good way to denote them without assuming you are using a qwerty keyboard.
Programming against them is possible,but many times there's limitations, ignorance about the different layouts, or straight neglect.
"Lying" may be a little extreme. Deceptive, though, perhaps.

1. "We care about your privacy"

2. Introduce a bunch of privacy tracking controls to restrict what other parties and apps can retrieve and use vis-a-vis data and you.

3. Heavily increase your investment in your own ad network that is not subject to the same restrictions.
I wonder if there's a viable market for a news outlet which has as its distinguishing core principle the guarantee that it will never use any material from press releases (or equivalently unsolicited, self-interested messaging) as unqualified sources, except for narrow cases when no other source was available. And in such cases it is accompanied by an unambiguous indication (really unambiguous, like a different color font for any portions of the article text directly and solely derived from such sources) that the information presented therein should be trusted on the same level as motivated hearsay from a single source, because that's what it is.

But of course this would be expensive to operate, difficult to insulate from corruption and compromise, and unlikely to be popular with advertisers, whose objectives constitute the epitome of conflicted interest with such an outlet's stated core principle.

I think that could likely be helpful for some people, but probably not in my case. I don't expect anyone else to be working alongside me.

But I imagine a solo founder wanting to start on a low-cost individual plan, and expects to eventually add new members when he/she gets a co-founder and/or more team members.

In any case, people like the feeling of there being an easy "on-ramp" to what they imagine they'll do in the future. GitHub in particular has achieved mastery of easy on-ramps to more (paid) features.

I'd be curious to find out how many Trello boards start out with 1 person and others join weeks or months later.

Is "under 200 fiat" the same as "under $200 transaction fee" in USD?

And where are you that most counterparties accept BTC? El Salvador?
I second that. These big corps are willing to pay contractor rates for thousands of workers and use phycological manipulation to balance it all out with FTEs. Contractor rate is often double+ FTE pay for the people they work alongside. All of this so they can report lower "employee" headcount.
I work in video games, and all the game projects I've worked on for the last 10 years or so have been multi minute link times. We predominantly iterate on windows with MSVC, and it's usually "server" binaries that are produced for linux.

How does Unthread compare to Abbot? (https://ab.bot)
> I did consider two other approaches:

Changing Ruleset from being []Rule to []*Rule, which would mean we no longer need to explicitly take a reference to the rule.
Returning a Rule rather than a *Rule. This would still copy the Rule, but it should stay on the stack instead of moving to the heap.

> However, both of these would have resulted in a breaking change as this method is part of the public API.

The problem with heap allocated objects could be due to the incorrect public API.

The change that improves performance also gives out pointers to the actual elements of Ruleset itself permitting the caller to change the contents of Ruleset which wasn't possible before the speed-up. Perhaps you're already aware since change to []*Rule was being considered.
Oh my goodness surely this is going to be the absolute end for cryptocurrencies now isn't it? Is bitcoin now dead?

> people want things like Apple CarPlay - a big touchscreen - not voice commands

I don't know the answer, but i wonder why you say that's what people want, since the high end BMW and Audi and Mercedes cars etc now all have their own voice commands to _avoid_ using the touchscreen (presumably for driving).

I wonder how they even get a survey that's representative.
Its a difference now that there are waves of people coming to software from other industries. Its one of the few industries that does not require certification, pays great and you can pick up relatively quickly.
I think the radar analogy is flawed at best w/r/t the press.

Part of the problem is that the press is owned/regulated by the people in the very institutions that fund the scammers.

Most people use fiat, there is no way to use a credit card to buy crypto on a DEX.
Also, transaction fees are usually higher and some coins just cannot be supported unless wrapped, like trading bitcoin on an ethereum DEX requires you to use WBTC or similar tokens, which are usually costly to wrap/unwrap and might even be centralized.

Which American company employs 100k+ DEVRLOPERS?
When I hear stories like this I'm reminded of my own similar experience in the 90s.

I was the passenger in a light truck (late 80s Toyota) with my friend driving in moderate freeway traffic. At the time we were moving around 30mph. I had a clear view of the pedals as the cabin was relatively sparse.

He suddenly accelerates then starts pumping the accelerator. The motion surprised me which caused me to look at his foot pumping the accelerator. I could hear the engine revving and feel the car lurch each time while also thinking we're going to hit the car in front of us if he doesn't stop.

After the 4th or 5th pump, his foot hits the brake. Just inches from the car in front of us, he turns to me and said, "The brake was stuck and wasn't working." I told him that he was actually stomping on the accelerator pedal the whole time.

He didn't believe me.

Being FROM India is a good reason to work in India. Do you think uprooting your life is a piece of cake? What if you have old parents? What if you prefer your own culture and not being an immigrant for the rest of your life?

Also, you're overlooking how much a good software engineer makes in India (adjusted for cost of living). It's probably somewhere in the top 1% of Indian earners. That's living in a mansion with servants kinda rich. In Canada a software engineer, even working for Meta, is still middle to upper middle class. Some of them probably can't afford a home without taking a huge debt. They will live comfortably but won't be rich in relative terms.

CE certification requirements concern the sale of products in the EU. You are not allowed to import, make available or sell products that do not have a CE certification, if one is required for that kind of product. CE certification is usually just a self-declaration by the producer. If you make "Chemical Ali's colourful children's chew-toy" you have to provide a CE self-certification that e.g. certifies that you didn't use any lead-based paint, and all the other requirements for this category of product.

Enforcement of compliance would thus be via the seller, distributor, importer or producer, whichever is a EU entity and available/responsible.

Generally it would be permissible to use non-CE-certified products e.g. at home, provided you do not make them available to others, give them away or sell them. Using non-certified products can be prohibited for companies and other legal entities, usually through the safety regulations they have to obey.

What the legal consequences for a user of non-CE-certified software would be, I don't know. There will certainly be an assumption of negligence if anything goes wrong.
Tesla's are consistently at the bottom of reliability ratings and rather infamous for their crap build quality. Obviously they are ahead with Autopilot and their electric drive train. But in terms of building cars they're terrible and way behind leaders like Honda & Toyota.
I'm really SHOCKED that a company that was offering 8% interest on deposits mid 2021, when the fed tax rate was around 0%, ended up being a HUGE PONZI. You can't trust nobody, a guy can't get his 500% greater returns in peace no more.

If my business is valued at a million dollars and I take out a loan for a million, my business is now valued at 0. That’s basic accounting. Amazon had a net income of 14B last year - no one will let them borrow anything close to their market cap, much less 10X it.

Edit: This assumes I spend my loan on payroll which is what the OP originally suggested.
I like the implementation in a bunch of IM clients, at least Teams and iMessage: emojis are treated as autocorrect, so if you type the full text version of the emoji (not just the first character!) it gets replaced with the emoji. In the rare cases it's wrong, hitting escape after the autocorrect fixes it.

I don't see why the Google Docs implementation wouldn't work that way. If it really must pop up a box, allow the user to continue typing in document and gradually reduce the list of candidate emojis. As soon as a character is typed that either complete the emoji or rules all of them out, the box goes away.
This sounds cool, i'd love to use it but $30 feels a bit steep for my confidence in the output.

Elixir REPL in production yeah. Not to modify anything, but to inspect the state of the world and figure out why some OTP apps were dying. I'm drawing a blank on the name of the build tool, but the "launch binary" it produces has an option to fire up a second copy of your app, keep the console alive, and connect it to the cluster as another node. Worked like a charm, although it's something I wouldn't want to do on a regular basis :)

In software engineering, many seem to know about Chesterton's Fence, but hardly anyone seems to know much about Chesterton. I found Orthodoxy, which many consider his best book, to help not simply with one particular topic, but just about how to question assumptions generally. It's a shame he isn't more widely read - with the exception of some passing cultural references and a dated concept here and there, much of what he writes sounds like it could have been written last week. And his approach of combining humor into everything makes the reading enjoyable, even when the topic itself is dense.
> On the topic of moderation the very same issue is even more absurd. Some instances want uncontrolled free speech where some instances effectively are pure shit-posting instances which are completely de-federated from the most of the fediverse as a result. Other instances really like to control their content, where some popular ones such as fosstodon ban all languages than English as a result to allow moderation. There also is no real agreement on if larger or smaller instance are going to make the problem of moderation better or worse.

This is an inherent problem that centralized platforms try desperately to handwave away. However, sometimes handwaving doesn't work, and there's no lowest common denominator to fall back on which will reliably keep you out of trouble everywhere; for an example that probably won't get me flamed too badly here in this decade, is it Derry or Londonderry? Just calling it Stroke City won't work if the people on the site are sufficiently enthused about their discussion forum being Correct. It gets worse the closer you get to contested claims of genocide (do you ban the people claiming it was genocide or the people insisting it wasn't?) and discussions about who gets to qualify as human. Trying to be apolitical only works if you ban all the people from one side or the other.

It gets worse once you globalize, and you run into governments that are really, really keen on enforcing Correctness on certain issues, especially if you want to expand into two countries with mutually-incompatible views of which side of a given issue is Correct. Silence is not always an option. At that point, decentralization is the only solution.

If this is true I'd be genuinely surprised. Are you saying Apple's model is "Advertise through us. You'll get absolutely no feedback on the users who respond to your advertising. We will just send you a bill, 'x clicks * y cents/click'."

Without arguing about whether it should or shouldn't be and the other deeper considerations, I can't see that as a compelling use of marketing dollars.

The hard part is if you have a lot of content on icloud. Ive yet to find a reliable way to pull content from icloud locally. Apples first party download service doesnt really work for large icloud accounts, the downloads just fail to complete and you have tens or hundreds of gb to download. Ive tried third party command line tools and they silently crash after a couple dozen files, as in they will just hang until I notice they have failed so I cant just automate something to restart the script after fail. I’m actually at a loss here how to migrate from icloud.

For those wondering about this: the towers obviously weren't knocked over by the planes since the collapses started more than a half-hour after the planes collided with them.

The collapses were due to thermal stresses caused by the fire; as each floor heats up it expands, pushing the supporting beams outwards, then when the floor buckles, the beams snap back.

As multilingual user constantly switching between 3 languages, that's why I fully committed to the US_intl keyboard layout a while ago and ditched the abomination that is QWERTZ. Took a while to get used to, but overall it has been a very noticeable improvement. One layout to cover all languages, no more constant switching.

Edit for clarity: I type "a to get ä and 'a to get à. If I want to type actual quotes followed by a vocal I need to “confirm” the quotes with space before typing the vocal. That’s all there is to it, really.
If American businesses wanted the money of people from other countries, they should've made their systems internationally accessible.

I disagree, I think the 70% is right, and matches what you still describe as a 1.7x speed increase.
If it originally took 4 seconds and now takes 2, I'd call that a 100% speed increase, i.e. twice as fast.
This comment is unnecessarily cynical.

The unemployment benefits system is indeed designed to buffer against unemployment which is why both employees and employers pay into it.
The person you are commenting against understands you’re point. They want crypto to be special.

In their mind crypto should be the antidote to counterparty risk and they are willing to give up liquidity to achieve that.
Generally speaking the average annual wage of corporate workers (mostly engineers) will be in the six figures. Hourly wage workers take home (on average) median US annual wages. So laying of 10000 engineers (in terms of immediate $ costs) is the equivalent of laying of approximately 30000 to 50000 hourly wage workers.
Wow, you must've missed the point entirely.

I'm talking about how both bubbles were a consequence of all the money being pumped relentlessly by governments. That it was going to pop, we should not have no doubt. If it wasn't for crypto "exchanges", it would be a dot-com v2 (which is also happening, but without crypto to take all that capital this crisis would be bigger still), or it would be something else entirely... but at the end of the day, as long as we have governments addicted to growth, we will have boom and bust cycles.

Which is also funny because its not like the customer support reps are going to be able to assist in any way. They're just as in-the-dark as the public, or only just barely aware of how bad things are. Even so, its not like they are going to be able to calm anyone down.

I'm sure each one of them wants to give some kind of reassurance to panicked customers but is powerless to help and is worried about saying anything that could get them in trouble legally.
