Right, but to be clear the cookie consent thing was about purpose limitation, not blocking all cookies outright.

The idea was that core functionality shouldn’t break if you block unnecessary tracking, which the old cookie blockers couldn’t achieve, which was why politicians got involved in the first place. Great idea, terrible implementation.
while in theory there are arm things available on various package repos, in practice I've hit a good amount of stuff not packaged yet (in my case, the context was more around people doing stuff via docker M1)
The two-channel DDR5 in desktops can't even do two channels very well -- if you try to put 64GB RAM in (two dual-rank 32GB DIMMs) then you lose around 50% of the bandwidth compared to a single rank DIMM (e.g. from 8GHz to 4GHz speeds, and increased latency).
As an administrator, I hear you, but we have to adapt. Passwords are awful. On the whole, the effort and energy spent training people on passwords, battling phishing, dealing with password managers, cleaning up from breaches, and more… passwords can't die soon enough.

FWIW, asymmetric PKI is technically mature and relatively easy to implement in most applications (without "vendor lock-in", I might add to comments upthread), and there are ways to address most of your concerns about key loss and recovery beyond what you describe, as by the ring of trust scheme Apple uses, for example.

The only way through this is forward. I'm confident it really will get better once passwords become a smelly indicator of bad security practice.

No. Everyone does not pay interest on common purchases.

There is much more access to credit in the US, most Americans use that credit a moderate amount to smooth cash flow for bumpy purchasing.

It is certainly the case that there are outliers who overuse credit, and many people who abhor credit like it sounds like you do.

One of the biggest differences between US borrowing and the rest of the world is that bankruptcy is very very easy to access, has very little stigma, and clears out most debts.

This makes the perceived costs of carrying a large debt load quite different.

Considering Anthropic and Open AI will be there, I think the right players are at the table. I would've liked to have seen Meta there since I think they're focused on generative deep learning. That said, with the administration's AI Bill of Rights top of mind, I don't have faith in the gerontocracy to regulate this sector [1].

Apparently I'm not a developer as I've been using the new Edge ever since moving to Windows a few years ago when WSL came around. It's actually a remarkably good browser and at this point I prefer it over Chrome (in part because I'm already using Windows so Microsoft telemetry is a given and Google's is extra).

It is however a shame that Microsoft keeps insisting to shoot itself in the foot. There's a very developer-friendly and professional and sleek side of Microsoft that is constantly sabotaged by the "used car salesman" side of the company that insists on adding noise like Microsoft Rewards to Edge or Candy Crush to Start.
I see you've made this claim in many places in the thread. Care to provide an example, maybe back your words?

How many has your team completed on average in the past sprints?

It's not pretense. WTF should an engineer care about time? An engineer has to care about Done Right. It takes as long as it takes. A PM cares about time, and they can looks at the past history of similar tasks to estimate it very accurately. The abstracted "effort" unit is a way to identify "similar tasks".

It's also very well demonstrated that human brains suck at estimating time. Estimating difficulty is way more consistent.

But if you hate thinking in terms of complexity you can do the same thing by making sure your tasks are evenly sized, and averaging task throughput over time. Or if you also hate your pm you could tag similar tasks and have them do the leg work without the math to help.

How to open source code from a private monorepo
Hiring for Haskell has never been a problem anywhere I've seen.

I've worked profesisonally in Haskell for 9 years now.

When working as a consultancy, whenever we hired for ourselves or our clients, we got 5x more applicants than we were looking for. Of those, around 80% got a hire recommendation (unfortunately we couldn't hire them all).

When hiring 1 role for our startup, we got 40 good applicants immediately, with a single post on Reddit.

In all cases we had the luxury of picking the best-fitting among many excellent engineers.

Maybe you'll face issues if you want to hire 100 people on the spot. But most companies don't have that problem.
Sorry but this comment is just totally wrong. Look into weapons exports that applied to cryptography, google providing android to Huawei, etc. etc. etc. etc. i mean jeez you don't have to look far for counterpoints to what you're saying

Yes, you do. Unless you're married or are above a certain pay grade / rank. An awful lot of dumbass privates marry their hometown sweethearts and pop out kids just so they ain't gotta live in what are basically dorms.

And folks in the Navy often have to live on ship in the absence of the above options. The second my buddy from HS made E-4 him and 4 friends GTFO.

Military housing also has a lot of problems, and the water around several military bases (e.g. Camp Lejeune) is dubious; awful lot of EPA Superfund sites around bases...

It’s a good point, I don’t know. My guess is the regulations require the website to ask for consent in a way that precludes browsers doing this, but that is a total guess.

Also the sites have a disincentive to make it easier; most people just click through because it’s annoying. The sites want you to do that; they don’t want to make it easier.

A good rule of thumb is that people or institutions fabricate evidence because they are making claims that are both false and harmful.

Another good rule of thumb is that the evidence which is proven to be fabricated is not the only evidence that was fabricated, and not the only situation in which it was.

We rely a great deal on “appeal to authority”, this organization being one of them. The epistemology of a lot of common belief breaks down very quickly once you start to see this. But if it goes too far, once the broken belief system affects the identity of the beholder, it reverts to blind faith and anger. We have a lot of Tooth Faries forced into our collective identity by school teachers.
Yeah, they tried to limit crypto exports. Remember that munitions t-shirt? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_Wars#/media/File:Muniti... You can put any regulations you want on the books - the point is that enforcing them can become laughably infeasible.
Studying political science, I have a hard time on this. Do we have any [modern] examples of far left moving over?

I agree with personal issues. What is the difference between societal and politic issues?

This topic is liberals founding a media company and one of them already being a controversial liberal who was scratched revealed and went mask off as a fascist. A cliche.

Good job at finding a framework with your Qs! An issue is they are vague. I tried answering your questions and they don’t answer what my politics or principles are.

I wonder if the perfect combo is to include policy questions along w/ some steel-manning. The current questions don’t take the Overton window in consideration. Anecdotal, I have yet to see someone’s [future] politics without hearing their policy ideas.

> A person can shift around "on the issues", viewed purely as left-right, while still remaining true to themself on these dispositional axes.

I’m still curious to what end any of this? What is it showing for people in general? Personally I would gain nothing about knowing someone’s principles or politics from those questions.

Finally the one thing that is entirely left out is capitalism. What left right are we discussing? Where does believing in capitalism lie on this? Without being specific and steel manning, people of every political disposition will sometimes answer the questions the same.
I don’t recall making that argument. Instead, I’ll argue that both you and I believe in private property, so this isn’t a valid point you can use against me. The only difference being that I am consistent.
You're not an OpenAI developer, as far as I know, so it didn't occur to me you wanted more than a basic description of the problem I had.

Ok, but even if it's about .NET Core; As far as I can tell the creation of .NET Core was a business decision and not because MS suddenly wanted to create a better product.

More then 50% of the VM's in Azure run Linux and not Windows. On AWS and GCP the percentage VM's running non-Windows OS'es is probably even higher. That's a realistic threat to the continued existence of .NET if .NET only runs on Windows.
Personally I think this is a strength of Haskell that many people don't really recognize and appreciate. It's a language the provides a lot of flexibility. If you want it to be a pure research language, it's happy to do that. If you need to make some sacrifices in regards to purity so you can get stuff into production, you can do that too.

As someone with a lot of time spent experimenting with programming languages, I can't think of any that can be so excellent from a research/experimentation perspective that also share the real production usage that Haskell sees. Take for example Racket, an amazing and also extremely flexible research language. It's probably easier to get started with than Haskell, but has never seen the real world usage that I've seen from Haskell.
That's pretty rough, one of the great things about the Framework was being able to treat all ports the same.

> enabling sites to be financially viable to run is almost universally considered good.

That isn't what's on the table, though. This impacts the ability to target ads. Targeted ads are absolutely not required for a website to be financially viable.

> If something is not viable on the web either it will be built on another ecosystem or it won't be built at all.

The history of the web demonstrates that this isn't true. There's an excluded middle there.

> It ends up making the web a worse place to be and strengthens the competitors to the web.

What are the competitors to the web?

But aside from that, in my opinion, advertising has made the web a much worse place as it is. Advertising has made the web more like interactive cable TV, and limits the variety of activities because only the ones advertisers approve of are effectively allowed.

> I’m sure when the times comes there will be a _sex workers union_ lobbying for regulations on AI porn due to the loss of jobs.

Porn already, for 95%+ of performers, pays terribly. Maybe one or two grand at best per "job" due to rampant piracy, ad-blocking, and the fact that nobody wants it on their credit card statement, and not everyone wants to figure out Bitcoin.

They hardly have the capital to start a union, or pay dues. But if AI porn takes off, those earnings will turn porn into purely a "because you want to" business. Probably not a bad thing considering the exploitative aspect in my opinion.

The old stone Roman roads became rutted over long time spans =wheel spacings were dictated by these ruts. Wrong space = broken wheels.
Railroads had many early spacings, from narrow mine rail carts to longer distances.
Railways need long gradual slopes 1-3% in most cases. This required causeways as well as cuts. Back in the day rock blasting cuts was very costly = iron drills and black powder blasting = $$$. After dynamite and carbide drill inserts, this became 80% less expensive. Dynamite shattered rock and insert drills cut holes.
The old black powder/iron drill made wide cuts = $$$ = need for narrow gage to save $$.
Long rail lines in USA led to the need for a common standard. The narrow cuts were blasted wider with dynamite etc, and many were abandoned. There is little connection between Roman roads and various wide/narrow US gages. There are also dual gage rail cars with 3 wheels on an axle - for Russia - Europe cars.
I think banks are having their buggy-whip moment. There simply isn't a huge need for banks anymore, as most transactions are digital. They mostly serve as a vault of safe-deposit boxes where people keep their important documents and a place for businesses to trade their paper scrip for digital numbers. That trade-in function could be provided directly by the federal government for probably leas than a trillion dollars, and it's only going to get cheaper in the future as people continue to move away from paper currency.
