I don't understand how a registry eliminates any of your critiques. The packages on registries come from git anyway, by way an unknown packaging process, rather than getting the source directly.

> If every time I bump a package, it bumps 50 others... am I really going to notice/review the changes in all of those?

Is there a difference between registry and codehost here?

> That said, I feel like the bigger challenge here is with transitive dependencies

This seems to be more a result of the stdlib and ecosystem, Node & NPM being the poster child for this

> There are still issues with things like history being re-written if you're pinned to a tag instead of a commit...

The Go team runs a sumdb server to catch this, and NPM does something to prevent tag drift, though we don't do this with our container images. It is trivial to move an image tag on docker hub or any image registry.

You should have a go.sums committed next to the go.mods file which also checks that the code at the tag is the same as you expect, so the sumdb is not necessarily needed if you trust the hash you originally downloaded and committed to git.

> It's hard for the enterprise world because they need to mirror everything internally.

We explored this, NPM and PyPi present the same issues as Go, the shear volume and maintenance makes it practically not worth it.

What about having additional accounts with a registry/hub in the software supply chain, that have been demonstrated to be vulnerable to account take over? Adding this extra middle layer in the supply chain seems like an inefficiency and increases risk.
I did say there were exceptions. How about how traditional media can easily take all the money from your YouTube video if you have a 30s clip of copyrighted music, or end your YouTube career entirely with spurious copyright claims? How about surveillance technology enabling repressive regimes? Or how AirBNB enabled landlords to effectively charge higher rents by moving to short term rentals, and to run hotels while shirking regulations?

Most of the examples you've listed are just changing hats (and others aren't power structures - long distance rates are not a power structure). Amazon wasn't around in the age of malls? Okay, sure, but is "malls/department stores, but really big, and online" really a different arrangement than before, or the same thing with more centralization? I view that as a consolidation of power among broadly the same group of people (American corporations & investors).

This is a special case of, "technology solutions don't solve social problems." Technology improves and gets cheaper, no contest. That doesn't mean I can write software that will change my relationship to society anymore than I can write software that makes my computer levitate.

If you're interested in proving me wrong, it seems to me that the counterargument wouldn't be an example of technological change, but a theoretical framework that would enable you to analyze a social problem or power structure and come up with a piece of software that would radically alter the outcome, with results better than chance. Obviously it wouldn't be reasonable for me to demand a fully developed theoretical framework from you in a casual conversation, so I'm happy to concede I may be mistaken if presented with a convincing seed or intuition that framework could be crystalized from.

Alternatively, I'd absolutely concede I was wrong if presented with a convincing hypothetical piece of software that would radically change the relationship between tenants and landlords.

You don't have to do any of that of course, I'm not trying to move goalposts, I'm trying to point out where my argument might be vulnerable in the interest of good faith, and because I'd love to be wrong about this.
Also, there's almost no legal downside to doing it in the US.
I would presume "co-op" here is a market, not a farm. The co-op near where I live is one if not the oldest example and is part of a giant network of co-ops... they certainly don't wash their own eggs: they source them from distributors much like any other market, and it isn't even inherent to the premise that they are using local sources (though mine does care a bit more, as it is a natural foods co-op, the goal of being a co-op is mostly about having a fair and equitable ownership model of the company that enables both employees and customers to have equity).
I'm curious, how did your experience compare to this?
Germany and the rest of the EU have been "at the brink of a recession" for well over a year. (Remember the gas price increases started in October-November 2021, before the war.) Compared to a year ago, a recession seems almost unlikely by now, and if any, seems like it would be small. The US also seems to have avoided a recession. So this is strange timing to me.

I also don't see any companies outside tech doing massive layoffs.

> I find those threads tend to be dominated by people who believe vaccinations are fascism, masks don't work and Fauci and Biden cooked up COVID in Hunter's meth lab, which is currently a solidly right-wing stance. Elsewhere there are commenters calling transgendered people mentally ill pedophile groomers, or homosexuality a sin and threat to human survival, claiming systemic racial and gender bias is scientifically justified, insisting that certain races and religions, or states of the Union, simply cannot coexist, still calling Biden's election stolen, worshiping the glory of war in turning soft men hard and the purity of the free market in weeding the weak and lazy out of society, and ranting about wokist CRT cultural Marxists burning the world down.

It's funny because you're describing a microcosm of comments as if they are the majority, and ignoring legitimate critiques. I can't say I'm surprised your knee-jerk reaction is to defend the echo chamber, but here we are. Thanks for proving my point so quickly!

You forgot some of those animals have fangs.

It's like NYC's side walks. Compare pedestrian behavior at say SoHo (daylight) and say LES (nighttime). Amazingly enough, the partying and inebrieted pedestrians at night all file politely in the correct bimodal L|R formation. During the day, it's a rather wild and somewhat uncivilized dynamic slalom formation. My theory: Fangs. The night creatures know someone potentially dangerous maybe in the midst.
Time-travel debugging and omniscient debugging are different. For example, https://rr-project.org is a time-travel debugger --- it can simulate executing backwards through time --- but it is not an omnisicient debugger because it doesn't provide fast access to all program states. https://pernos.co/about is an omniscient debugger built on top of rr: it provides fast access to all program states and visualizations built on top of that.
Ackchyually, apple only wanted to scan photos on your iphone so they can keep them encrypted in the cloud. They want to be compliant with laws, your government (people you never elected and never even seen on TV) constantly evolving to control you.
In 5 years Linux distros will have same scan features because it will be new law that outlaw to own a PC without connected surveillance. It just another regulation. Your car already have eCall spyware mic/gps tracker, so you won’t really care. You just be disgruntled about new AI robocalls inside Windows or new build of “voice control first” GNOME desktop on Ubuntu.

Huh. At a first glance at the photo on top of the article, I thought: Is this Munich's University with a different yard layout and statues? (Would not be surprising with WW2 in between, you can still see some of the shrapnel damage on one of the walls.)

But no, turns out, it's Berlin's Humboldt University.

Unfortunately, I can absolutely cannot find a picture of LMU's building taken from a similar angle, but while it turns out some details are very different, the resemblance in the layout and the overall style is striking.

Wonder whether that's on purpose. Munich University's main building is actually pretty young, having been erected in 1835, even though the university itself is over 500 years old.
It continues to amaze how people are incapable of following even the most trivial cases of abstract reasoning.
I've always felt the same, but there are some static scenarios where your shortcut device will always be there and mobility is not required.

Indeed, I think this is the crux of the matter. A long time ago Marissa Mayer found out that her remotes were mostly goofing off and not logging into corporate while still claiming a paycheck.

Now, yes, there are people who are more productive working from home; however, it looks like the majority of people need structure to make them productive and keep them however blurrily focused at least somewhat focused on the job at hand. This is even more the case the people in the administrative and non tech areas.

But then you get pushback from both those who are unproductive without structure as well as those who are as or more productive working from home. Management is trying to reconcile these things and find a working balance.
If I had to choose between seeing the ads by YouTube and seeing the creator's own ad, I'd choose the second.

I don't really know why. But if I turn off ad blocking, YouTube's own ads are way more obnoxious and intrusive. Maybe it's because every advertiser has figured out they need to cram as much shit into a 5-second segment? Or maybe it is because seeing an ad at the very beginning is much more psychologically disruptive (or if the YT ad is in the middle, it is usually inserted without any regard to the video, even breaking up sentences).
It's still the same story : PyPI still doesn't have a way to automatically detect interactions with the network and the filesystems for the submitted packages. It's a complex thing to do for sure, but that would be a welcome addition, I guess.

Oh I don't dispute whatever it is the historians are saying at all. I was simply arguing about what the themes of the book were, since that was what you were also talking about in your previous comment. Whether the themes of the book are scientific or not I don't know much about at all.

So I guess what you are saying is that Frank Herbert might have a more or less inaccurate take on social/political/historical science, which would not surprise me.

> Rhetorical question: are you also one of those childless types who objects to your taxes paying to fund public schools?

Why is it rhetorical? Because you made an assumption about my position without actually knowing where I stand? Which is actually incorrect, as I’m a huge proponent of the public education system. You seem to have confused my personal preference to not have children for something else entirely.

> Everything you consume or enjoy in your self-centered, hedonistic life is only available to you because others did things they didn't want to do for beneficiaries they'd never see. Even retirement is a pipe dream-- not everyone lives to see theirs.

This is not true at all. I live in a capitalistic society. Virtually everything I enjoy exists because it makes someone rich, not because someone altruistically gave up their life to make my life better. You’ve also placed a negative connotation towards my selfishness and hedonism. Can you please explain why it’s not acceptable for to enjoy my short time on earth?

> But we all do our part in the meantime. Except you, for some reason.

This statement proves my point. You believe I’m “not doing my part” in society based solely on me not wanting to have children (ignoring the fact I pay taxes, donate to charities and whatnot). You want me to live my life in accordance with your ideology, even if it makes me unhappy.

> You'd be more popular were you to brag about making your living stealing candy from children and selling it back to them.

Are you serious with this statement? You believe extorting children is more acceptable than living childfree?

@pranksyNFT scooped up this Legendary LeBron James Moment from our Cosmic Series 1 set for $49,000 {rocket}{rocket}{rocket}

Court opinion:

Each Tweet promotes a recent sale or statistics of recent sales of Moments on the Marketplace. And although the literal word "profit" is not included in any of the Tweets, the "rocket ship" emoji, "stock chart" emoji, and "money bags" emoji objectively mean one thing: a financial return on investment.

Well it would be funny if their counterargument is that "Hangouts" was a specific thing and the OTR chats were actually on one of that company's 600 other chat products.

It's recently started to emerge that US opened and censored all international mail 1950-1989. We're talking millions of letters a week. It started as a measure to remove all reference to US use of biological weapons in the Korean War and grew from there. (the third season of the Blowback Podcast did a couple of interviews which covered it really well.)
My guess is that the primary strategic motivation here is recruiting and maintaining a competent org of people who know how to build large models. I don't think that the actual release is as calculated as all that. It's more about proving to themselves and the world that they can train big models.

Ozy Founder Arrested on Securities Fraud – COO Impersonates YouTube Exec
You could in principle do proof-of-ownership checks like Google does for things like Webmaster Tools, so you’d need to control a domain to have thr corresponding namespace.
Because you can find a study saying almost anything today. We live in an information rich world. It causes people to favor their anecdotes more.

My question is, are a lot of the 'benefits' simply because people are contrasting it to a 5 day work week? Much of the logic i'm seeing about 4 day work weeks could be applied to a 3 day work week once people get used to 4 days. I'm not seeing anything unique about 4 days that makes it objectively superior.

The main argument I see is less work=greater morale, so lets work less!

As a native Detroiter I can confidently tell you that any house you can get for $25,000 will come with externalities that will make the house undesirable on balance.

Large back tax bill, lack of city services (e.g. if live in Springwells, good luck getting a reasonable response time from Detroit PD if you're being burgled) and an unsafe transit situation are the most common ones I can think of.

The houses are cheap for a reason. Its not as though Detroit is filled with provincial oafs that don't know what they're selling.

During a discussion of said company's defiance of a federal judge, such a critique seems pertinent to me!

We have continually observed the most powerful actors in our system abusing it in consistent ways: cornering markets, becoming monopolies, bullying smaller companies, constructing walled gardens, diminishing the concept of consumer ownership, etc.

I think we ought to allow comments like theirs in discussions like this.

> Maybe Google needs a way to "recommend" reviews

I would say "please don't give them any ideas", but I already ignore YouTube recommendations anyway, so that wouldn't actually bother me.

However, if YouTube found a sneaky way to get ads in front of me regardless of my premium membership, that would eliminate the entire value of the premium membership. And, for me, it would reduce the value of YouTube enough to get me to finally ditch YouTube once and for all.

Which might not be a bad thing, really.

Cars are extremely space inefficient, so when cities are built for cars it is done at the expense of more efficient transportation methods. And what you're left with in the end is a very inefficient transportation system that REQUIRES a car. An efficient system would simply make cars optional and therefore you have more independence as you have more options - not to mention a system better at moving people.
