The internet is not dead, but the nature of online activity has changed.

Traditional forums may not be as popular as they once were. The ease of access to information through search engines (and even within platforms like ChatGPT) means that people are still engaging with content just not creating it publicly through long social exchanges as before. Many topics that previously required cooperation on a forum are now readily available with a simple search, reducing the need to discuss those solutions. Stack Overflow and other small niche communities are the exception here.

This shift towards more accessible information has resulted in less visible activity if we view internet activity as the creation of original text content. The older generation of internet users may have moved on from forums to focus on real-life issues, which has taken time away from hobbies. Niche communities still exist, but the use of small public forums is not as trendy as it once was.

Many people have shifted towards using larger social networks and private messaging platforms (like Messenger, Snapchat, and Discord). Discord for example is used by a lot of communities to aggregate their documentation and user activity, despite the risk of this content being pruned earlier than it should. These platforms are still very active, but they may not be as visible to those outside of closed groups. The data and activity within these groups are not crawled, making it seem as though there is less activity on the internet than there really is.

The rise of video content has made it difficult to quickly read and crawl through information, leading to the false impression that the internet is empty of recent original content. There is actually more video content available now than ever before, but it may not be as easily searchable or accessible as text-based content.
You desperately want this to be hype. You, like me, have an intrinsic investment in the idea of human supremacy. Neither the popularity of produced artifacts nor the rate of improvement support your cynicism.

The gap between the world you want to inhabit and the one that is being born is widening.

I'm not sure why you're being so disingenuous here. It's painfully obvious there's a difference between costs invoked by best-practices and regular business operations and costs invoked by another bank making bad decisions, going bust, and then the other banks' customers having to pay that difference.

Making an argument that we should all eat this cost to avoid contagion, etc. might hold some water (and the Fed was stuck between a rock and a hard place), but let's not pretend it's not a cost we're all eating, on top of it being an inflationary move.
Explanations of the joke exist on the network. It's just cribbing from those texts; it's not coming up with the reasoning behind it.

If it were a brand new joke that the interlocutor invented, for which there are no existing discussions, it wouldn't be able to do anything beyond giving some evasive answer instead of "I don't know".
Selective enforcement and high penalties is not a solution. Simply enforcing existing laws would be trivial and solve the issue. The only problem is people would not really want that, just like they would not want police to enforce speed limit laws.

Annual Plans, if I purchase for a customer and only for time limited projects.

For myself I purchase only non-expiring licenses with a one-time fee. It is absolutely fine if I have to pay again for upgrades from time to time, but I want to be able to decide to not upgrade and still use my work for another 20 years, when the vendor is already forgotten. And provided, I still have compatible hardware ;-)

A good example would be Softmaker, which I am happily paying for (but they also nag me every other day, if I wouldn't rather like to switch to subscription).

Agreed, but the point I was making here is that Angular itself was very far from stillborn, it pushed early adoption of TypeScript really really hard which did wonders for TypeScript to be taken seriously.

I've suggested it before: a moratorium on ML/AI publications. That's what's been fuelling these developments. Academic researchers need to publish. They don't make these models for the money (initially). Stopping the publications will slow down research and the money put into commercializing it.
Usually (but not always), I upvote not because I agree, but because someone said something that I think was worth reading. Usually (but not always), I downvote not because I disagree, but because someone said something that I think is worth negative attention (trolling, etc.).

Discord pricing model has been so much cool when compared to these reckless move by Docker.

Imagine the following:

[1] Ultra-bad rate-limiting by default to all public images.

[2] X$/month "boost" to have relaxed rate-limit for yourself & contributing some to the community.

[3] The popular the repository is, the higher rate limit it get.

[4] After Y$/month, Docker just suggest other repositories to "support", so the $$ tickle down the whole ecosystem.

[5] Simple feature which allows you to quickly view public images you are dependent on. And which one you/your organisation should support to.

But hey wait... welcome to the world run by VCs and shitty PM roles. :)

Stuff people was scared about when they was invented

Trains,

When the Stockton-Darlington Railway opened in 1825, people feared the worst: the human body, surely, wasn't made to travel at incredible speeds of 30 miles per hour. People genuinely believed that going that quickly would kill you in gruesome ways, such as your body melting.

Telephones,

The telephone wasn't greeted with universal enthusiasm. Some elderly people feared that touching it would give them electric shocks, while men worried that their wives would waste too much time gossiping. In Sweden, preachers said the phone was the instrument of the Devil and phone lines were stolen or sabotaged; others feared that the lines were conduits for evil spirits. The invention of telesales would prove them right.

Television,

We've all been told to sit further away from the TV for fear of ruining our eyes, but it turns out that there's fire behind that smoke: in the late 1960s General Electric shipped faulty television sets that emitted dangerous X-rays and officials warned against sitting too close as a result. GE fixed the problem, but the scare lived on.

etc...

Here’s an optimistic take: AI gets so good at manipulating digital information that it makes going on the computer irrelevant. AI interfaces are so intuitive that the whole concept of learning to be “computer literate” goes out the window. We all abandon our screens and spend more time in reality because spreadsheets, online forms and text editors fade away. AI is the final computer interface we need.

AIUI weed is generally the least consequential when busted for dealing, so it's the most visible entrypoint dealers openly broadcast on the street.

Weed is like the cover charge at the door. Cocaine, meth, fent, mdma, lsd, shrooms, etc. are the drinks served at the bar.

If this is anywhere near a correct understanding, legalizing weed would cause little/no reduction in the activity. It would lessen the potential consequences for dealing weed even further, while "drinks at the bar" continue being served.

We'd need to legalize and regulate all drugs, and do so without taxing it so much the black market continues to thrive via lower prices.
> It's just a pragmatic business decision, which then some marketer figured out how to spin.

Possibly but not necessarily. Automation limits what you can do as you are restricted to what the machines can do. Hand-made components do not have the same limits. Additionally, materials are often not perfect or uniform and a machine will work with different tolerances than a craftsman. Lastly, in certain cases the idea is the craftsman can discern the better materials and choose accordingly.

So for instance when making acoustic instruments, being "hand-made" means that the craftsman could tap-test the wood and use discretion on which pieces to use for each instrument. They would have examined the wood for both structural and form considerations. There would be special attention to assembly and anything custom can be done. Independent decisions would be made on a case by case basis instead of using a general rule.

Handmade also implies superior materials because when automation is used, often the inputs are the most expensive part. When you go to a handmade hob, the labor generally will far surpass the costs of materials so using premium materials is of little consequence to the final price.

But yes, marketing can be a big part of it in many cases.
I used to think so too, until I tried Rust.

By comparison, JavaScript (and by extension, TypeScript) is still lacking fundamental features and the library ecosystem situation is pretty bad.

I wish there was a modern language that took all the good non-manual-memory-management things from Rust and added a GC and some immutable data structures. Error handling, enums, macros (with compile_error! / diagnostics API), traits / approach to OOP, embedded tests, doctests and the relentless determination to add examples in the docs in general... Everything in Rust feels like "oh, they got this right too", which hasn't been the case for any other typed lanuage I've used in the past 15 years (including typescript, my previous favorite; purescript; go; haskell)

And it doesn't hurt that the TypeScript team is so great. We've seen some public apologies from the Flow team on this topic so I don't feel like I'm talking behind anyone's back if I say they ended up truly not being up to the task of being what TypeScript is today.
I got my big break through triplebyte but once you switched from the “personal” site that connected me to companies I was actually a good match for and moved towards being just a jobs site I’ve had zero luck so I got my last job via workatastartup (which is also going downhill.)

> I typically dislike decorators because they are spooky action at a distance, and whenever I look at code in a language that has decorators, the code almost becomes a DSL of sorts.

Yes, decorators are not evil by themselves, but they allow people to make poor choices easier. Having to debug decorators, fiddling with order of execution + scope binding/closures when setting multiple decorators, can (not sure!) become a nightmare; depending on the code base. Or we just go straight to the hibernate spaghetti. Imagining having to use three decorators with the same name, but different functions, makes me not to want to work with this.

Having worked with (old) Java EE and Jakarta code bases, I've seen decorators being abused in 300 ways and breaking ABI in 600 ways, so let's hope we stay sane this time.
I wish more in tech would stop pretending pornography is something benign. This isn't the case, though I personally thought the same just a few years ago. There is data, and victims available to see it is not.

Understanding a Context of Risk: Pornography and Child Sexual Abuse
https://osf.io/kf4uv/download/?format=pdf
One of the most troubling patterns emerging in the research relates to the increasing number of younger children (under the ages of 12-14) involved in perpetrating child sexual assault. Clinical and legal studies are reporting greater numbers of preteen children demonstrating interpersonal problematic sexual behaviors that intrude on the physical space and security of other children (Friedrich et al., 2006; Swisher et al., 2008).

<>

Most relevant to the purpose of this paper is the role of exposure to sexually explicit media as one of the explanatory variables in child sexual abuse. A meta-analysis of 22 studies demonstrates that exposure to pornography, particularly violent pornography, is significantly associated with increased rates of sexual aggression in the general population (Wright et al., 2016). Given that the average age of first exposure to pornography is age 11 (Wolak et al.,
2006), it is important to begin to consider what role, if any, pornography may play in child sexual abuse, particular if perpetrated by children. Several studies have included sexually explicit media as a contributing factor for child-perpetrated sexual abuse.

The Association Between Exposure to Violent Pornography and Teen Dating Violence in Grade 10 High School Students
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6751001/
Exposure to pornography in general has been linked with adolescent dating violence and sexual aggression, but less is known about exposure to violent pornography specifically. The current study examined the association of violent pornography exposure with different forms of teen dating violence (TDV) using baseline survey data from a sample of Grade 10 high school students who reported being in a dating relationship in the past year (n = 1694)

A Meta-Analysis of Pornography Consumption and Actual Acts of Sexual Aggression in General Population Studies
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jcom.12201
Is pornography consumption correlated with committing actual acts of sexual aggression? 22 studies from 7 different countries were analyzed. Consumption was associated with sexual aggression in the United States and internationally, among males and females, and in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Associations were stronger for verbal than physical sexual aggression, although both were significant. The general pattern of results suggested that violent content may be an exacerbating factor.

The problem is that no one has been allowed to price in (real) inflation risks into bonds for a very long time as the fed has artificially suppressed rates through QE.

Bonds have only ever been considered ‘safe’ from a repayment perspective (it’s the only thing they really get graded on risk wise), and even then junk bonds are a real thing. The value of the bond shrinking due to inflation is always a unquantifiable future risk that typically gets priced in price/interest wise by the buyer/underwriter - but with the fed suppressing rates? All bets are off.

Those who got those 2% mortgages though have a lot to be thankful for. As long as the zombie hordes don’t get them in the coming debt apocalypse anyway (/s).

Interestingly, when I am presented with an employment contract, there are two things that often appear and that I always require to be removed: noncompete clauses and wording that assigns the rights to all of the work I do (even work that does not use my employer's time, resources, or knowledge) to my employer.

I have never once had an employer refuse to remove or modify those terms, but a couple of times it took a bit of negotiation to get there.
