Frankly a lot of sci-fi that is intended as the latter is often taken as the former. I feel like there is some kind of lesson there: if you create it, expect someone to take it the wrong way.

If you are depicting a dystopia, be aware that there is a selection of people out there that will consider it a utopia from the point of view of the worst characters in the book and say to themselves, "that sounds awesome, I'm going to build that."

Why do you think a yellow

Lambda School always looked as a scam to me. I mean, $20k+ for a "bootcamp" and couple of courses is crazy expensive. It's like they designed this program to squeeze all the money from people who can not afford ridiculous tuition fees in the US by giving them hope they will progress faster if they pay them instead of self educating or taking much cheaper competitor's offers.

Udacity has very similar thing with curriculum for various positions, 1:1 mentoring, interview prep etc. for a fraction of BloomTech price, like 1/10 or even 1/20. Which I still consider expensive, since cost of digital goods are close to 0 to replicate and deliver to more people. Point I make here is they can earn more by delivering $100 program to 1m of students or even 1/5 of that, than delivering $1.2k program to 10k students or $20k program to 1k students.
There's a lot of porn on twitter, and the fact that so many people use porn as an example of something that twitter has to ban, not knowing that twitter doesn't ban porn and it nonetheless isn't in their face all the time, perfectly illustrates that banning things from a platform such as twitter is not necessary, that people are perfectly able to avoid things that are not banned.
i agree there have problems.
No one is "migrating" anywhere.

Clojure has always been about being hosted on different platforms. The best Clojure development experience is probably full-stack Clojure, i.e. JVM Clojure on the backend and ClojureScript on the web—and perhaps ClojureDart for apps. People are implementing Clojure on different hosts because they love the language and want to use it in other contexts, not because they don't like the JVM.

I actually wrote about this phenomenon a few years ago and it reached the top of HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22458827

I should probably revisit the topic again, since much has changed in the meantime.
While new safety features in C++ may be impressive, Google's data shows that memory safety vulnerabilities are still a major issue. Switching to a memory-safe language like Rust can help reduce the risk of vulnerabilities and improve the overall security and reliability of a product. The potential benefits make it a worthwhile investment, even if it requires some effort to migrate from C++. #RustIsTheRealDeal
Transferring crypto across borders without exchanging to/from local currencies or USD is of course trivial. But it's also useless, since most people can't pay their rent with crypto.
Airdrop, Handover, shared clipboard and all those wonderful over-the-air-just-work integrations are wildly flaky.

I have an iPad, an iPhone and 3 Macs.

These features mostly actually just work and are one of the best reasons to have the whole ecosystem shebang. That said, every now and then they don't. And there's no indication why.

For a while it felt like they all got better and started working nearly flawlessly. Now they're back to working ~90% of the time. Not terrible but annoying when I'm relying on copy-pasting an image or a piece of text between devices. I guess I'm too coddled.
> I don't think anyone uses Pocket, except (maybe) those two people

Sorry, where do you get off being such a douchebag?

You do realize Pocket existed before Mozilla bought it, right? I started using it back when it was still ReadItLater and it's an incredibly useful service. It's a decent way to collect interesting sites for later reading, as if tons of people on HN don't use various methods to do the same damn thing, but somehow it's suddenly bad because Mozilla owns it? Get lost.

At least when Mozilla buys a service, they continue it and improve it over time, instead of what everybody else does like Microsoft, Google, or whoever else, where they sunset whatever service or project it is and move the developers into other teams. Like, jesus fucking christ. Everybody else is doing wildly anti-competitive behavior, but here's Mozilla actually doing something decent, but fuck 'em right? We want tech companies to swallow smaller companies and extinguish them entirely. That's what we're all about in the tech industry.
> Saying this does not convince people who are concerned about hate speech. Such individuals imagine that the government or the platform will, or can be coerced, to simply remove whatever they do not like. These folks, who consider themselves among the majority, never imagine that they will one day be a minority, or that such power will then be used against them.

Exactly. And it isn't even that difficult to imagine how it could happen: TERFs, or trans-exclusionary radical feminists, want to shut out trans voices, and they do this by accusing trans people of engaging in misogynistic hate speech whenever they speak out about trans issues. How sincere the TERFs are doesn't matter, ultimately, as the result is the same: Trans people being shut up and shut out in the name of keeping misogyny off the platform, or even out of the country. In the words of Vox:

https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/9/5/20840101/terfs-radic...

> TERF ideology has become the de facto face of feminism in the UK, helped along by media leadership from Rupert Murdoch and the Times of London. Any vague opposition to gender-critical thought in the UK brings along accusations of “silencing women” and a splashy feature or op-ed in a British national newspaper. Australian radical feminist Sheila Jeffreys went before the UK Parliament in March 2018 and declared that trans women are “parasites,” language that sounds an awful lot like Trump speaking about immigrants.

The "Defend Women" line is a perfect tactic for TERFs to use, and they use it early and often.

Again, claiming those people are cynically using feminism to fight a different battle is pointless: The fact they could use hate speech laws to silence a minority is the troubling thing.

Yeah partial borrows are not part of the file system, which makes a lot of sense as it would severely leak implementation details.

> This isn't primarily about replacing existing software. There are plenty of engineers that argue for continuing to use memory-unsafe programming languages.

> New projects written in C are being started every day.

But it is mostly about existing software, even if its not about replacing existing software. I write C++ code every day. I hate it, and I'd rather not. But I use C++ libraries written by my teammates, and reference implementations in prior C++ work in our past projects, and have a set-up C++ toolchain, and my company even has all sorts of written C++ docs and style guides and linters and macros and ... and ...

Even if we wanted to stop, there's so much extra stuff to consider. I get your point, <<why start a new thing knowing there's a better way?>> and I would want to stop using c++ but most software isn't one-and-done like a surgery. It is a continuous commitment and ongoing operation, it is the tools used, and the knowledge learned, and the libraries built.

> This is the exact equivalent of physicians continuing to use unsafe medical procedures

Plenty of platforms don't support rust. Just because you've improved knee surgery, doesn't mean it works on an elbow... yet. And sometimes you still gotta perform surgery on elbows.

Your ISP does, Google does, but I don’t think Apple has them in an identifiable way
I don’t know about other places but from what I observed and experienced in Worcester there were several problems that made it not work:

1. The cost of the trash bags relative to median income in some neighborhoods was too high. When a 5 pack of bags is $9 and you earn $7.25/hour before taxes, it is suddenly not that easy to justify doing the right thing when the free thing is possible.

2. People lived in apartment buildings and multi family homes so there is no easy identification of who exactly leaves a car battery or a mattress on the sidewalk at 3am. Having cops watch all the streets all the time for this wouldn’t work and neighbors don’t want to bother watching each other.

3. Because people didn’t earn that much relative to cost of living, high fines would just throw poor people in jail while those who can afford the bags can just buy the bags. So you’d still have trash on the streets but also cause people who can least afford it to lose their jobs by making them miss work.

4. Minor point but where you buy the bags matters. It was highly inconvenient that you couldn’t buy them at grocery stores. Instead you had to literally go out of your way to go to sketchy convenience stores and liquor stores instead.

Plenty of people used the bags but there were enough who didn’t that it made the city dirty. And once you get used to seeing trash on the street you are a lot less likely to think twice about contributing to it yourself.

Market share is the wrong thing to look at, yes Apple has a small desktop/laptop market share, but they utterly dominate the profit share.

This is the real question: How is Apple going to fill the gaps you see in the low end PC market, where there are very small profits to be found, without cannibalising it's own high end profit margins?

For the wintel PC makers market share is all that matters because they are all trapped in the commodity sector, so volume is the only way to grow profits. Apple isn't, it's a premium brand, so the economics it lives by are completely different. Analysts have been getting this wrong about Apple for decades, in fact pretty much my entire adult life, and I'm in my 50s.

Commodity companies can afford to stagnate their products, Cocacola makes the same sugar water they did before I was born. Premium product companies cannot afford to do that, they have to constantly invest in renewing and updating their products. Apple has been doing that for almost their entire existence (modulo a period of stagnation in the 90s when the execs didn't understand their own business).

On the software side I don't really agree, yes they have quality issues, but so does all software and they have incredibly complex stacks these days. They're constantly pushing forward with new software features, that's part of the problem, new features means new bugs.

Rich Harris called this "transitional apps" :) See this excellent talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=860d8usGC0o

There's now active work to finally let you build whatever you need from a single code: be it MPA SPA, or anything in between, seamlessly. Including things like "everything is SSR'ed except this specific part of the page". Svelte, Solid.js, Astro are all rapidly moving the state of the art towards that goal.

> Is not made clear upfront and that there's no intention to fix it.

IIRC the idea is to remove web components from the core eventually, and have them as a third/first-party add-on. Can't find the relevant tweets right now, so don't quote me on that :D

> What about web components first framework like Lit[1]?

Their SSR support is listed as experimental: https://lit.dev/docs/ssr/overview/ with multiple issues (see the end of the page).

There's a reason for that: web components in general cannot be SSR'ed. That is, you cannot take a random web component and have it SSRed. You have to do very specific manual hacks or very library/framework-specific/bundler hacks to make them work. See this excellent article for details: https://css-tricks.com/using-web-components-with-next-or-any...

With apologies for a lack of citation, there is a growing problem in the functional design and layout of government and law enforcement command offices.

And the companies that chased the market for youngsters without any real passion or plan is now running out of customers due both the the fact credit is now tight and that the publics infatuation with the tech industries is waning. And from the looks of it BloomTech looks to definitely target the market for youngster as their primary revenue stream.
