I have nothing against parks. Parks are great. But I'm not sure what problem they supposedly solve.

If I were living in an apartment, then a park would be better than nothing.

But I can't grow a vegetable garden in a park. I can't enjoy the park while I have stuff inside my house that I need to check on in 15 minutes. You can't let a 5 year-old go to the park alone but, if your backyard is relatively secured and you can see them out of your window, then you can let them play in the backyard. I can't let my dog out to run to the park in order to "do its business" etc. I don't have the same level of privacy and solitude at a park as I do in my backyard.

While there are certain things I would prioritize over a backyard (like having a garage to set up a "makers shop" in), there's not much I would trade a backyard for ... least of all a park.

Beyond the "yard solution" I also have a very hard time living in even medium-sized cities, let alone large ones. I don't like noise, traffic (street or pedestrian) or crowds. Public transportation is a nightmare for me and grocery delivery services have actually saved my life so I don't need or want a grocery store within walking distance (I find shopping to be one of the most stressful activities in life). Rural living is for me.
I think that's the canonical definition of a Ponzi scheme.
I personally think the web should have used a more solid standard from day 1. If something like strictly validated XHTML had been the very first thing shipped on the web, and anything that didn't validate wouldn't display, we'd have had a very different web.

But given the web we have, I think we need to document it.

> It would quickly become unmanageable as libraries would be using different features from different revisions.

As far as I know, HTML5 is generally forward-compatible. Once something has actually shipped in the standard, there's a question of "how new of a browser do you need to use this", but not "how old".

> Hah, is there a middle-ground that likes choice in the Linux world without subscribing to the delusion that Mac/Windows ecosystems constitute anything a reasonable person might describe as "a thriving hellscape of proprietary crapware"?

I realize I come off as extreme here, but that's really how I feel.

I think that's an obviously fair way to describe the Microsoft Store and the Google Play Store. (Idk about iOS' App Store because I don't use iOS.)

I'd also make the argument that it's a good way to describe the setup of basically any macOS power user, with their inevitable collection of brittle, mostly proprietary, solo dev apps they use to hack basic functionality back into Apple's anemic OS offering.

(Windows suffers from that latter problem, too, though it's not as egregious as macOS.)

> you can run open source alternatives for everything except maybe some core software.

The core software is pretty much what we're talking about here: DEs and/or bundled apps.

> for now Mac is a pretty good experience

I understand that many people like it and I think their reasons for liking it are mostly good. But for me, using macOS is genuinely miserable, not just a little off. And I think the kind of app ecosystem that Mac people really love, of thoughfully designed, hidden gems by very small teams or individual devs, distributed as proprietary software for a small fee... is just not that great. To an extent that Mac lovers rarely admit or don't understand, a huge proportion of those apps exist only to compensate for Apple's own oversights, which wouldn't matter so much in an open ecosystem. The rest just aren't worth the cost of a closed ecosystem, in my opinion.
The least they could have done is disconnect the database without deleting the data, so users would at least have a chance to make the decision to either delete or start paying.
There is a YC startup named Artifact. I wonder if the founders will defend the name like Instagram did with people using ‘gram’ in their name. That would be some nice karma.
This is an odd critique. If it's an issue that someone cares about, they should be allowed to comment about it as long as it's within the guidelines.

There doesn't seem to be a guideline that defines the number of times someone can comment about a specific topic relative to the total number of comments within a specific amount of time.

Two of the three comments are also replies to someone who replied to the first, so it's not like the person is spamming the same message over and over again. People are allowed to have discussions.
Well, they are not starting everything from the scratch. And as you say, you can't have people with different ideas working on the same project.

Cosmic exists because Gnome devs have their own roadmap that many people dislike.
This is the only case then?
Having done some "code archaeology" in my past, I loved coming across a good comment block, with clear rationale as to why something was done, which looked incorrect if you only had the code.
Should I have said "every one of them"? I didn't mean to imply that every citizen personally harbors a grudge. That would be silly! But they did have a referendum, and "remain" barely won.

Yes, the fact they have their own parliaments, while "England does not", does indeed demonstrate that they are second class. Because the reason England "doesn't have a parliament" is that when Scotland "joined", the English parliament was simply renamed into "The Parliament of Great Britain", without changing anything else. They even kept the same MPs - didn't even hold an election! It was all for show, a minimal mask of fairness for dissolving the Scottish parliament. It resulted in riots and martial law.

This, by the way, was the closest England ever came to "consensually" adding a member. Wales at this point in time was a straight-up English territory. It didn't even get a parliament until 1999, at the same time Scotland was allowed to reform theirs. And would you like to talk about Northern Ireland?

A long time ago when I was a student, I would run my papers through Turnitin before submitting. The tool would sometimes mark my (completely original) work as high as mid 20% similarity.

As a result, I have taken out quotes and citations to appease it and not have to deal with the hassle.

I expect modern day students will resort to similar measures.
Right exactly. So to my original point, are tests enough? Would code, apart from machine code, be irrelevant at this point? How do I inspect the program? Do I need to?
I'd say sell it first. There’s a huge graveyard of code that nobody uses.
You're supposed to both attack your opponent's position and defend yours.

What you're describing is a lack of debate culture. A good example of that was already referred here (the infamous "so you're saying" interview).

Redhat. They've made some power-plays (including with Gnome) and have been successful at it.

Ubuntu tried to do the same more than once, but fell so hard on their face every time that it can be hard to tell that they were trying to do the same thing.
To be completely honest, I forgot who was it, but about a year or 2 ago someone posted about a sql alternative language. The goal was to be adaptable to be used in all sql application, but a better designed language so that things like a calculation in a select can be reused in another select column, and better structure to make things easily reusable or composable, etc.

Just a new language to replace sql, that is still sql but just better designed with the benefit of 30+ years of language design improvements.

Maybe we are talking in circles at this point, but also remember that those are actual phrases with meaning behind them and there is a distinction between that and what amounts to a clickbait title.

Again, the word 'weaponized' was not necessary to convey the point at all. If the title was simply: "Hyperfocus: Becoming the first DevRel at Tailscale", it seems less aggressive or clickbaity. At that point, might as well just go with 'less is more' and remove the Hyperfocus part too.
Eh, not really... this is the only paragraph where imagining your "state of mind" might come into play:

The problem with your line of reasoning is that you really have a problem with government abuse and that you're looking for anything that could possibly add to government abuse even in the smallest of manners. There's no scalar to your concept of abusive systems, just the fact that any system that could be used for government abuse is bad.

But I'm not imagining anything because you've made it clear that your problem all along was with government abuse. It's also clear that you're looking for anything that could possibly add to government abuse even in the smallest manners because you don't talk about scale or likelihood, just a simple binary of "could be used for government abuse" or not.

I'm just logically filling in the blanks based on our interaction to come up with how you reasoned your way through all of this.

And I just went back and realized you started talking about personal cars and not taxis... what kind of cop is going to get mad at you and then... wait for you to get a cab, follow you, and then make your car pull over... and then what? Why are they doing this? Why would anyone do this?

I mean, what system is more likely to be abused, one where cops can get a warrant to kick your door down or one where cops can make autonomous taxis pull safely over to the side?

Stop being silly!
That depends on how long this goes on. It takes months to build a new unit, so it will make no difference in 3 months. In many areas there is a lot of pent up demand from people with more means who are living elsewhere, and they are now living in houses in areas far enough away that those living in tents won't find moving there useful.

In short it will take a decade or two of building to make a difference to those living in tents.

Also living in tents often implies other issues. More housing will not solve anything if your real issue is serious mental illness. There will also be a few people living in tents/on the street because their reason for living in tents is not related to the cost of housing. Building more housing will make a difference to those who's problem is housing is too expensive, but it can't help those who's problems are not high cost of housing.
The human brain thrives of novelty and exploration. When things get repetitive, your brain starts tuning it out. When you first learned to drive, it took focus and initiative and it was exciting. You had freedom! You could go fast! Your friends were jealous! Now, you can drive for 30 minutes and not even remember a moment of the drive. Your brain just tunes it out.

The nature of evolution caused us to be hyper aware of danger. New things can be dangerous -- old things are safe! Safe things can be ignored.

Your brain literally ignores the clothing on your body after just a few seconds of wearing it. Your nose (for those of you with a large schnozz like myself!) disappears from your vision -- your brain says, "That never moves, I don't need to see it," and erases it from your vision. If you focus, you see it, but if you don't... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All of this is to say that common cliche we've all heard: variety is the spice of life. Passion is shorthand for your brain paying particular attention to something. When you are excited about something, it's because your brain thinks "Hey, if I don't pay attention to this, I might miss something important."

So the key? Variety. Spontenaeity. Try new things. In the world of computers, you may have solidly mastered programming, but try messing around with hardware. Try learning a brand new technology -- not just a new programming language, but a whole new way of thinking. If you're a backend engineer, try and build a mobile app. Consider experimenting with the new AI stuff that's the current rage, or explore retro computing.

Also consider expanding your repertoire -- the world is bigger than computers! (Join us in /r/outside!) Take up hiking, take up running, take up flying kites or canoeing or drinking a beer from every brewery in town. Join trivia nights, find friends.

The more you do the same (or similar!) things over and over, the more your brain thinks "That's not important," and the ho-hum becomes the hum-drums, and then you start thinking, "Do I have depression?"

Maybe you do. I'm not a shrink. But in my experience, and while working with my therapist, I've found that this working from home thing 100% of the time, and doing the same exact routine with my life every single day, has caused my brain to say "This is dull," and therefore I feel depressed.

I've started going into my work's office once a week. My wife and I go to trivia night once a week. I run or work out every day, but with different activities. I think of ways to give my dog novel experiences, too!

TL;DR: Passion is your brain on fire, but your brain doesn't catch on fire if it's safe. Mix it up. Inject variety. Your brain will thank you later.

(Disclaimer: I am not a therapist, and this is just my opinion. I hope it helps.)

The expression of my passion for literature used to be fervent, but also egomaniacal. A more subdued, less intense, but far more intensive, passion has taken its place. I appreciate both, and the former may return intermittently, but I consider myself lucky that I had an epiphany which allowed me to transition to my present phase. Even if only esoterically, I realized I needed to cultivate a concern for others at the heart of what I do. A similar phenomenon played out in my romantic relationships to a significant extent, and in my interpersonal relationships to a lesser extent.
I'm not refuting your general claim here, but the system you interacted with is Tesla's Autopilot, not FSD. They are two distinct systems for two distinct use cases (today).

FSD is supposed to only work on city streets, and was in limited beta in 2021 (you had to explicitly enroll). Autopilot is what runs on freeways/interstates today, and can be used on the street (but is not meant for city streets).

Autopilot, and it's Navigate on Autopilot system have been fantastic for me, but they are absolutely systems you need to monitor because they can do dumb things. It's not meant to be a hands-off driving system like the FSD system Tesla claims it will be one day.

Funny enough, Texas is basically the opposite: there's no income tax, and so it has to get taxes from property. That also has a couple of negative consequences:

There's a "homesteading exemption" for taxes on a primary residence. This means your property taxes can't shoot up massively if your property suddenly gets more expensive.

This pushes even more of the property tax burden onto investment properties, which sounds good to some in theory, but one affect it has is that rental properties are investment properties. So rents go up a lot. This means renters end up paying a lot of property taxes, which is, uh... a surprising outcome.
“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

-- Douglas Adams
There's also the matter of cause and effect

- Is it a desirable location, and the zoning laws cause the prices to skyrocket because not all the people that want to live there can

- Is it desirable because the zoning laws make sure it's a certain type of environment, and the desirability is what causes the price to increase

- Is it a combination of the two.

I think any reasonable person would say it's a combination of the two. And removing the zoning laws would both make it less desirable _and_ lower the price of housing. It would not leave it just as desirable, but with more people living there.

Well, look at it this way--what benefits are there in doing so?

- The test suite runs faster

- Less time is spent maintaining the test suite

The argument wasn't whether tests should ever be deleted, but rather an encouragement to delete them as soon as you feel confident in your code. Personally, if a test is still relevant then I will maintain it until the behavior it's testing is no longer part of the application. And often that's a zero sum situation, because now you need to test the some new behavior.

A failed test is literally your test suite saying, "Remember this part of your application that you promised would behave a certain way? Well, surprise! It doesn't behave that way anymore." There is value, if nothing else, in knowing what the implications of a change are, especially as the system grows. So even if you're okay with a change in your application's behavior, I'd argue that tests are the best way to be aware of what those changes are.

You're essentially asserting that some openly-biased political operatives in Washington DC are more "credible" than Twitter's moderation chief or an investigative journalist (both with access to internal Twitter documents), based on some unrelated amateur OSINT.

Alarm or not doesn't really matter. If a person is receiving a signal that does not affect them most of the time they WILL start to ignore that signal. Many will attempt to combat this with policies and consequences, "Make sure your reading these e-mails, or else!" but it's a fruitless endeavor. Humans will human. Better to recognize that and build your systems around it.

2. Those models will be used to evaluate progress and contribute directly to scores, grades, and rankings. They may also serve to detect collaboration.

3. The models persist indefinitely and will be sold to industry for all sorts of purposes, like hiring.

4. Thy will certainly be sold to the state for law enforcement and identity cataloging.

My hot take is that collaborative features make your marketing problem worse.

If your product is single user then a user who buys in gets the full value of the product.

If it is multiple user then you have to make much bigger sales or attract more users overall to unlock the value.

That said, sometimes collaboration is a killer feature. Lately I have developed a content-based recommendation system which works OK but probably the collaborative recommendation systems that are more widespread would be seen as better by most people.
