I think the global moderator concept could be applied to microblogging and all the other ActivityPub software. It's just a matter of people trusting those they link to enough to assist with zapping bad content when they are asleep or busy. There should also be a fully automated validation mechanism in place to verify that at least global moderator trust is working vs full admin otherwise the instance out of compliance must be automatically isolated from the network ring of trust after a couple automated warnings that cause a banner to display on the rogue instance.
I think the iPhone does not have a fingerprint reader like some high end Samsung Galaxy phones?

Anyway, iPhone is advertised and considered as a secure and privacy conscious compared to Android. It doesn't allow sideloading stating that security is compromised. Plus it's very expensive compared to other phones. So it's bigger news than being the same as Android phones.
It’s not just MS, auth is a mess everywhere. Everyone wants to own your identity and we’ve ended up with an insane web of trust.

The many standards around identity management makes the web more complex. Most of us have many identities and we end up with a multidimensional web of tokens and cookies.

I think at some point something will have to give. This seems like a space where some more provider consolidation or collaboration would help.

Security is so important to get right, yet too easy to get wrong.
I can use vim, but I still find it easier to just open a file in nano and write.

I feel like I should be able to use a tool without thinking and without having to learn how the tool works, at least in regards to text editing.

And I feel that nano or pretty much any other editor except vim can be used the same way, just like a notepad on Windows or gedit or geany, you open a file and you start editing or you move to the desired location using the arrow keys or a mouse and start editing.

The very joke of "How to exit vim" feels like a good example of bad user experience and poorly developed tools.

Crude example:
Imagine if you couldn't drop a hammer and it was just stuck to your hand just because you didn't know that you had to type :q!.

But since I know how to use it at least the basics it is somewhat comforting knowing that pretty much any machine I'll touch will probably have vim pre-installed, so I don't have to spend time searching what is the name of the program to edit files. I have seen that some have an alias 'edit' to whichever is the default one, but thus far 'edit' hasn't worked on any of the machines I've tried.

Yes, vim can do a lot more then just edit files, but at the end of the day...

I just want to edit, compile, fix, repeat.

CS:GO ported to Source 2 by Gabe Follower [video]
Microsoft has invested billions of dollars in OpenAI, the company whose technology is behind that new Bing and which spurred the current AI hubbub with its own wildly popular ChatGPT bot and Dall-E 2 image generator.

This is what concerns me, if this thing doesn't turn out to be great for society, it will still be pushed down peoples throats because a ROI needs to be made, a lot of money is at stake and so here we are.

Hopefully it goes ok.
With the performing arts--perhaps music in particular--it's certainly the case that you mostly can't decide you want to do the music thing, except as maybe a very recreational activity for the first time in college. However, I'm not sure I'm sold that CS--more or less uniquely among technical fields (including electrical engineering)--needs to have the same level of informal prerequisites.

Sure, but there's also a question of bootstrapping. Can you build electronics that work underwater? Sure. But it's a lot harder than building electronics that work on land. The barrier is a lot higher.

Also, simple things like... Primitive humans used tree branches to build lances and things to fight predators. They also used them to dig and to build homes. There are no trees underwater. Octopuses have soft bodies and are not equipped for digging in the ways that humans were, especially without tree branches to help them.

Another obvious difference: one of the key technological discoveries that made humanity happen is the discovery of fire. It would be somewhat difficult to make fire underwater.

Maybe it really is just easier on land. That being said, many species have gone from sea to land or land to sea during their evolution. Not impossible that some octopus descendant could become a land species in the far future... But I have a feeling that evolving bones or a hard shell would he helpful there.

Yup, Microsoft can't even keep straight their account management, yet they are insisting on depreciating the local-only accounts.

I strictly use the local-only setup. I'm sort of OK if they still leave a relatively trivial backdoor to do this, but if they ever flat require an online account, I'm out, hard.

This is partially due to wanting to avoid the hassle and management of yet-another-forking-online-acct-IDGAF-about, but also because I have some machines controlling industrial processes (CNC machines, custom cutting machines, etc.) that I keep entirely off any network for security & safety reasons (yes, moving anything to/from those machines is all sneaker-net; simple, works, and my shop doesn't yet have the scale to justify that kind of networking/security/admin overhead).

I just hope that MS engineering is not stupid or powerless enough to allow MS marketing & MBAs to fully kill off the local account.

This entire attitude of exploiting customers by requiring spurious internet accounts & connections is making me start to think that the Internet is all a huge mistake. If that approach takes over, the world will literally be worse than before the Internet in every important way (and there are some solid arguments that it already is worse).

I live in the UK and I agree with that. It feels like living in a country which is trying to commit national suicide.

Not helped by the fact there seems to be nothing we can do about it. We're so much a vassal state to the USA that we don't even get to decide our own policies. So maybe better to say "It feels like living in a country which is being ordered to commit national suicide".

Sorry, people: My computing pre-dates smart phones. Soooo, the tools and features I use in computing also pre-date. Soooo, I don't have a smart phone or any mobile computer, and a simple glance confirms that a mobile computer brings new computer security issues.

But, I've done some shopping and am about to get a mobile computer. I don't want it. I will be reluctant ever to take it out of my office or home. And I don't want it in my car. I certainly don't want it in a restaurant. In a bar? Gads!!! Hopefully never. I'm pretty safe about a bar -- never been in one!

Yup, mobile computing has become wildly popular, but there are security problems.
That is absolutely false and at the core of the rather schizophrenic mentality towards the world today. Capitalism has absolutely nothing to do with the means of production beyond it being a method for accounting for resources and allocating then based on a value assigned, ideally in a kind of double blind manner, which is the part that has been broken by cheating through things like corruption and “money printing”, i.e., fraud.

You may be referring to the favorite alternative method for accounting under the inherently fraudulent system that fraudulently calls itself communism, while hating and having nothing at all to do with community, which allocates resources, i.e., means of production, by central committee that sees itself as some kind of contemporary gods on earth.

The means of production are a separate thing and are generally separate from gore they are accounted for and allocated for some purpose.

To simplify, you having the skill, told, and wood to create a bookshelf are the means of production; your method and decision making that lands you on making a bookshelf instead of book ends or something else, is where you could use capitalist or “communist” practices to determine that, Party of which is accounting for the resources and drawing a conclusion as to what to do.

Thanks for the insights, I appreciate it! I will take some time to go through the docs and learn more. One last question for now (I hope): after the migrations are auto-generated, do you check them into version control?

> Models are for developers and generally developers have all the permissions any way

To clarify, the reason why you would want to have read-only models is rather in complex data model cases or for performance reasons. For example, if you have a large model with 50 fields, defining a subset with 10 fields can be beneficial to performance in several queries. Other than that, I agree with you.

There was what looked like a swimming pool in the basement that was in fact a sort of dug-out that made room for the swords in air (otherwise they would hit the ceiling), and the library was chock-full of material from the Third Reich - not that it was utilized, but it was part of the historical dressing.

Well, I'm not really sure if we're talking about the same thing. If you're talking about language integration, I've got no quarrel with that (see my earlier comment). The experiences I was referring to are more along the lines of text manipulation in general, not "rename class", "extract method" and the like. If you're talking about features like that, I'd readily agree with you: Trying to do the same thing with Vim macros is just picking the wrong tool for the job.

I won't beleive your assertion, however, that this invalidates the benefits of learning Vim bindings (especially since respective emulation layers are at least passable in pretty much any editor or IDE worth its salt).

If you're talking about normal minute-to-minute text handling and creation of text files without language assist (scripts, cucumber tests, any programming task not blessed by your IDE's refactoring integration) on the other hand, we're at the point where I have trouble believing you.

They also make it really easy to screw things up. I work at Microsoft, and a few weeks ago they rolled out a botched group policy change for our whole org that somehow deleted all O365 apps and Docker from most people’s machines.

In a laptop's energy budget, power spent driving the loudspeakers is probably one of the last concerns.

- freedom of speech.

Most Americans misunderstand what their freedom of speech actually entitles them to. What your freedom of speech actually covers is represented via other legislations over here. And much as I think our government is a farce, we do have access to tell our politicians that. Frankly, if recent politics have taught us anything, it’s that freedom of speech doesn’t protect us from a shitty government being formed.

- right to bear arms

I’m glad we don’t. It’s a fucking stupid right in our modern age. How many shootings do you guys need before you wake up and join the rest of the civilised world with tighter gun control. And for what it’s worth, you can own guns legally in the UK. We just don’t allow unhinged people to roam the streets with guns.

- protection from unreasonable search and seizure

We have that in the U.K.

Given all the problems the US police force suffer from, you’re really not in a position to be gloating about protections from crooked cops.

Don’t get me wrong, the US does get a lot of things right too. But I wouldn’t say it’s ahead of the U.K. (nor most of Europe) in terms of rights. Roughly equivalent perhaps, but not so far ahead that we should all be modelling ourselves after you.
I agree with all except that Emacs is a bit too slow or a little off for these tasks. Emacs is rather easy to extend and modify to make exactly fit your task if you want to. Out of the box search is decent and very easy to make better than fzf.

MIT has an expectation that students would cover their programming skills via internships or outside jobs, and thus they focus on teaching CS which is quite hard to pick up on your own.

Well here, Google didn't take a stance, which is right, I think.

Being against abortion is not illegal, and about as many people think abortion is immoral as people think being convincing women not to abort is immoral, so why should Google go one way or the other? Maybe they should ban all ads related to abortion, or link to government websites (which may have a stance you don't like, but at least, that's from elected officials). But then, there is the issue of organic search results.

BTW, I am what you would call "pro-choice", so I disagree with the inclusion of anti-abortion groups in ads, but my opinion doesn't matter here, I don't expect Google to push my own opinions, especially on controversial moral issues.
