I'm almost the exact opposite opinion. One of my biggest gripes with web apps, especially on compact laptops and other mobile devices, is the constant presence of screen-space-hungry browser chrome. On Macs this is sometimes compounded by the addition of a redundant, in-app menubar since web apps in browsers (and for now, even PWAs) can't use the macOS global menubar.

Back/forward/history can be nice in some circumstances, but to me if I find them needed to make a web app usable, it's an indictment of terrible navigation UI/UX design on the part of the app. It's not that difficult to design an app to not need to lean on browser controls, but it does require a bit of a more holistic approach to UI/UX design than is commonly found in web apps (where instead, everything tends to be diced up into heavily silo'd screens).

The other gripe is that these apps are making my tab clutter problems worse than they need to be. With a PWA I can make use of OS window/app management functions to help keep things sorted a bit better and make my tabs almost entirely transient rather than constant presences, easing tab management.
At least in my dreams, nonsensical things happen all the time, but within the dream seem completely reasonable.
I mean sure, if you are being as charitable as possible with Scandinavia while also being as uncharitable to the US (with pretty insane stereotypes about american society), you will always find a way to conclude that "america bad, nordics good". But what's the point ? Can I also use tired, extremely hyperbolic stereotypes about Scandinavia?

(Funny though that you actually say that everyday life is masked behind courteous words in the US, which is one of the those widespread stereotypes about... Scandinavia and nordic countries in general.)

What was that about Swedes not even sharing meals with visitors, and eating in front of them while the visitor sits at the dinner table looking at them eat? Or Denmark kicking out all of their syrian refugees after they have lived there for years, kids included, to send them back to a warzone? See that explains the antidepressant intake!

Screenshots upon installation is kinda how millions of people experience installing apps these days.

iOS store

Windows store

Steam

Epic

Play store

All these support screenshots. It's pretty reasonable that after a decade of millions of people installing apps this way they would want to see what they're getting into.

Yeah something generic would help, but manifest should still absolutely support the idea of screenshots.

First you have to define "correctness". Often this is "the result satisfies some predicate (which is another computation)"

Then you can use formal methods. For example in Coq you may do something like:

(* Some algorithm which takes one number as an input, of course you can have it take any arguments *)
Definition the_algorithm (x : nat) : nat :=
...
.

(* Another algorothm which checks that the output is expected *)
(* You can use 'Inductive' or 'Defintion' to define this, each has its benefits and drawbacks *)
(* 'Inductive' is a GADT where instances have valid inputs / outputs *)
(* You can also write the_algorithm as a 'Definition' with some fuel parameter and return an 'option nat' if your function can't be proven terminating, etc. *)
Inductive check_the_algorithm : nat -> nat -> Prop :=
| BaseCase : check_the_algorithm 0 0
| AnotherCase : forall i o, check_the_algorithm i o -> check_the_algorithm i (i * 2)
| ...
.

(* This is the key part, which proves the algorithm is "correct" *)
Theorem the_algorithm_is_correct : forall n, check_the_algorithm n (the_algorithm n).
Proof.
... (* Here you will prove it using tactics *)

That might be overselling it. They should be happy with the result, and ready to attack the problems discovered so the next flight might be more successful. And sure, proud that they got it off the ground, though as a fairly mature rocket company I'd have figured that was table stakes.

If you read the actual sources used in the comment, they are referring to BuzzFeed News, not BuzzFeed the tabloid. The FAIR specifically calls this out and says the large majority of articles assessed were from the News division. The Steele Dossier incident denounced by WaPo, FAIR, and other Pulitzer-prize-winning left-wing journalists, was also the News division. Ryan Broderick was a News division scandal. None of the sources in the comment address the tabloid side.
I've been building a personal website service [1] as an alternative to social media. I hadn't heard of POSSE, but I call my idea "Write once, share everywhere" - the idea being that your content should live on your site, but can be shared on other social networks.

A tip for anybody building POSSE systems: OpenGraph images make a huge impact on engagement on social networks. I generate images on-the-fly with the post title and some images, which makes links take up much more space on feeds.

I think that's a pretty shaky place to build your foundation. If past generations have been wrong about the younger generation, does that mean we're doomed to be wrong forever? It's nice to imagine that every generation will be a total improvement over the last, but I don't think that's an axiom I can get behind.

As far as centrism goes, you're totally right, it's a political ideology like all the others. What I was trying to point out though is that despite being a very vocal American social critic, he's staunchly deciding _not_ to take a public position on American politics. Despite this, I've seen people on either side of the aisle still accuse him of shilling for the other side, a take I've found super exhausting. I'm not in total endorsement of all of Haidt's research or methodologies, but I do think he's operating from a place of scientific earnestness and honesty. Framing him as politically motivated is inaccurate.
I did consider that. Traffic discrimination certainly occurs. However, I don't believe it's presence supports the claim in this case.

The original claim is that Douyin promotes "wholesome" educational content, whereas TikTok is manipulating the west with pornography and other depravities.

Anecdotal observations gathered through the web UI of each app, as an anonymous user, were that Douyin presented "pornographic" content, whereas TikTok did not.

The original claim only stands if we accept that ByteDance is:

* Allowing a vast quantity of sexually explicit content to be posted to Douyin.

* Not showing that content to their users in China but only to western users of Douyin, despite being presented entirely in Chinese.

While also:

* Targeting western users of TikTok with pornography and explicit videos.

* Not showing any of that content in their web UI, despite it quickly becoming the entirety of the Douyin one.

I find it hard to believe that this would be the case. A sanitised Douyin and depraved TikTok, or both being depraved, would have supported the idea. The behaviour that was observed runs entirely counter to the claim.

Frankly, the opinion does not appear to be grounded in reality but comes instead from a place of insecurity regarding our social values. Consider whether any western platform promotes science and engineering over pornography, Twitter and Instagram allow much more explicit content than TikTok, and then ask why TikTok seems to have been singled out.

Are you in contact with a therapist you enjoy talking to? They're phenomenal when it comes to helping tackle ruminating and intrusive/impulsive thoughts. If you don't, you'll want to go through the (unfortunately tedious) process of finding one that deals with CBT or ACT.

I suggest this to people even when they feel they are out of a pit primarily because being out of the pit is the perfect time to get help, as they don't have the usual struggles that makes reaching out feel impossible.

News media headlines are being quite unfair for a test. They know it's a test launch, but they choose this sort of headline anyway, probably because "rocket man bad".

Maybe SpaceX should have painted "TEST" on all sides of the rocket so the flow of information to the public is immune to biased media. Like a shunt in a circuit.

As a pure image hoster, you don't earn much money, and if you're any good and fast, your traffic will go up and eventually eat up any amount of donations that content creators can muster. Content creators won't chip in more as your bills rise, because all those views don't necessarily translate to sales, and eventually something will give. And if you start to charge, and your price exceeds the cost of self-hosting, content creators will leave.

Causally attributed mistakes as possible. Mistakes on their own aren't useful unless you can determine a causal relationship.
RWD are harder to drive on snow than AWD, that is a fact. Moving the weight helps on making them more similar to a front wheel drive (which traditionally were better than RWD on snow) but I don't think is even close to an AWD.

And snow tires is what makes a difference, true, but you can mount them on any car and same thing for traction control. So a same age AWD with snow tires drives better than a RWD with snow tires, specially if you come from a stop on an upwards icy road.
OK, I'll bite.

Your example with the safe is obviously absurd. No one is suggesting that the mere existence of untrue information, in a vacuum, causes harm. Communicating it to people, presented as true information, is where the harm comes.

If you tell someone there are no peanuts in their meal, and they have a peanut allergy, they will eat it because of your false assurance and be harmed.

If you tell someone the car dealership down the street always gives amazing deals and gives lifetime warranties for free, but they're selling lemons and fraudulent warranties, your endorsement of their lies can entice more people into getting swindled by them.

If you tell someone the car dealership down the street is selling lemons and fraudulent warranties, when in reality they give good deals and honor their warranties faithfully, you are driving away business from them, which harms them financially.

"I didn't harm the person with the peanut allergy; the peanuts did!" Bullshit. They ate it in this scenario specifically because they trusted your assurance that it was safe.

"I didn't harm the people who got swindled; the car dealership did!" You both harmed them. Your false statements gave them extra legitimacy. Plus, the lies of the car dealership itself caused harm here.

"I didn't harm the car dealership; the people who didn't go there did!" Bullshit. You gratuitously introduced false information into a system where it didn't otherwise exist, defaming the car dealership and causing it to lose business that would otherwise have supported it financially.

I think that should be sufficient, since you're making an absolute, categorical claim, meaning that any nontrivial counterexample refutes it.

This is simply not true. Rockets require significant additional testing to become human flight rated, even if they are already cargo rated.

Is unarguably cheaper to forgo the additional testing and cost required for human flight.

>Right, but it also doesn't mean issues with the OS. They can be issues with the desktop environment.

There could be for me as an average end user I don't care that every Linux Distro is a bazaar engineering project where the OS and DE are not built and seamlessly integrated together by the same company like Windows and MAcOS.

>I used windows for a long time, but not in years.

I have.

>So do tell me for example, if I wanted to shrink the task bar to say, 25px height, which is much smaller from what Windows allowed me in the past, how would you do this?

I mean now you're moving the goalposts and clutching at straws. You cant with a straight face tell me that the faults with Linux/Ubuntu such as lack of browser HW acceleration, lack of fractional scaling, lack of hibernate are comparable to the fact that you can't set the taskbar to an arbitrary size. The former is actual issues, the latter is a lack of configuration options. Those are not the same.

>Additionally, many of the guides I'm reading for removing ads and telemetry are much more involved than adding those two lines to the X config.

Like I said, I can live with telemetry if the OS lets me get work and entertainment done. I can't live with a GNU/Neckbeard OS where basic stuff doesn't work properly and makes my life hell.

>I'd rather have screen tearing than telemetry and ads, and if this mythical "average user" feels the opposite way, I'd wager say that's a user failure, not an OS failure.

I feel the opposite. I need a sane, humane OS first, that actually gets the basics right so I can get work/play done and get on with my life. What good is the lack of telemetry if the screen tears and everything is blurry, or too small, or too big due to lack of fractional scaling? Now you're damaging your eyesight but at least you don't have telemetry.

At least telemetry doesn't damage my eyesight like Linux can, and if you think your eyes are less valuable than telemetry, than I think that's a user failure, not an OS failure.
I still don’t understand why that post was flagged so quickly.
Not necessarily; low gravity plus lighter weight means much, much lower thrust on landing in those locations. F9 lands on the drone ships with one engine, for example. It also looked like today's launch involved a hold-down period while they lit them all; that wouldn't be the case for landing either.
Returning to the office is counter-productive
Oh, sure, it can be extremely helpful. A picture is worth a thousand words and all of that. I just don't want that picture in-line with the code. It bulks up the view of the code and I'd want the picture in a separate window anyway, to refer to it as I'm scrolling through the code itself.

>Frankly comparing Tesla and SpaceX is getting to be a tiresome argument.

You're focused on the wrong takeaway. You're making this about a person, I'm talking about a process. I used Tesla because it's easy to see how one culture translates to the other. Insert any company that uses rapid iteration in place of Tesla if you prefer.

The point is that there are certain circumstances where rapid iteration is useful and others less so. When reliability matters, rapid iteration may be working against you. (It's a continuum, of course, so the real question is where is that tipping point)

>SpaceX's strategy for the Falcon 9 worked

The point I'm driving at is there is a distinction to be made when finding out why certain iterations didn't work vs. just changing the design without fully understanding the failure mechanisms of the first. One leads to a greater understanding than the other. It's a difference in an engineers mindset and a scientists mindset.

I stand corrected. That apparently was indeed the original context of his statement. The Internet has ways of morphing words.

I do recall he did express some level of concern about the launch pad being damaged if the rocket failed to launch though (it still looks like it was damaged to some degree from the launch.)
Front engine, Front drive vs Front Engine, Rear Drive

The engine can be placed front (in front of the front axle), mid-engine (between the axles), or rear over/behind the rear axle.

It affects weight distribution and therefore the vehicle’s handling.
Exactly! What could be the next step is removing the (user-facing) prompt at all, since (presumably) there should be enough data for this part to be proactive.
> Except SpaceX’s failure rates are similar with every other successful launch system

Really? I make is 189 successful F9 launches since the last issue in 2018 (there's a couple of landing failures, but given that everyone else apart from the space shuttle has a 100% loss...)

If you look at the "finished product" of block 5 that makes 162 launches and zero failures.

That's reliability far beyond any other launch system, including the space shuttle and Ariane 5 which are the only ones to come close in numbers of launches. Ariane 5 is certainly a reliable system as far as spaceflight goes, but it flies 3 times a year, Falcon 9 flies 3 times a month
No, a better comparison would be "why people discuss antigravity sleds". Space elevator could have uses, if it wouldn't conflict with reality about as much as antigravity sleds, levitating a meter above the road, are.

Horseless carriages in this comparison are rockets.
> …supposed to…

You’re right. But “supposed to” is just an ideal.

> If they're not serving you, you are voting wrong

Well sure, in a democracy, if the representatives don’t work towards the population’s interests, then the population must be “voting wrong”.[1] But that is just begging the question…

“Why are they voting wrong?”

And sure…“They are fooled.”

But, How?

“They are fools.”

But, Why?

[1] Ignoring the problem of asymmetric information. A population simply does not a have access to all the information needed to ensure they’ll be served properly. The representatives know far more about their own intentions than any set of voters ever could.
My understanding is the base model is pretty good about knowing whether it knows stuff or not. it's human feedback training that causes it to lose that signal.

One of the big negatives to sportiness in FWD cars has always been torque steer. But that is due to unequal-length driveshafts, not strictly the FWD-ness. A FWD EV shouldn't suffer from torque steer.

I do welcome RWD EVs, but let's not get carried away. Honda has demonstrated again and again that FWD vehicles are capable of very high track performance.
I've seen them do this in some capacity for like a decade
