> and knowing what we could do with it if done right

The implication here is that you know a compelling case for "what we could do with it" and how to "do it right", so what are the answers (because I'm stumped)?

I assume that it means you'll have people walking around wearing glasses that basically plug them transparently into all sorts of information. However, we've had an uneven rollout of mobile technology for the last 25+ years and that factor hasn't slowed anything down. If (and I agree it's a significant if over the next x years) AR is a genuinely useful mainstream technology people will adopt it even if others don't like it.

Reminds me of a more mundane version in an excellent sci-fi TV series, Incorporated (cancelled for $deity knows why, while lesser series continued). IIRC, it featured login authorization by DNA sample, with a neat-looking circular device that would stick a needle in your finger to draw blood.

Another interesting concept from that show was NDAs being treated quite literally - per the agreement, if you're to quit or get fired, you'll be put in a device that wipes all covered corporate secrets from your memory. The process wasn't perfect, and could result in a total memory wipe, removing all your memories from the employment period. Allegedly. It's not like there are people who remember it happening.

Agreed! But it's always so much easier to ban and get credit for "protecting Americans" than do the work and build a solid base for the future. We should hold our politicians to a higher standard.
> Why are legislators so focused on banning TikTok, rather than regulating whatever it is that TikTok does that they don't like

There are two issues with TikTok: privacy and national security. The latter is what this is about. (Related to e.g. our foreign media ownership rules.)

The federal legislation is trying to create an extensible system for forcing divestiture based on requirements you describe. This is more ham fisted.
I've always wondered what the point of this is. Why not just skip the signature and tell users to be careful where they get the binary? If I can't trust that the binary made it to me untampered, why should I believe the pubkey is any more legitimate?

Even if there were, that wouldn't prevent some one from suing you. In fact it makes you a more attractive target because you have Adobe's bank account behind you, not just your own.

It’s 1-2 months minimum that they can do useful work in my experience, and it has nothing to do with technological knowledge, simply the business knowledge is so vast.

You don't know what the other person really wanted or thought - and neither did the author, apparently. The breakdown in communication here is that you, and the author, had certain expectations, assumptions, and unknown information, and you both made conclusions based on all that variable, unknowable, uncommunicated stuff.

Rather than assume what's going on in the other person's head, ask them. Assume good faith until evidence to the contrary. It allows less judgement and negativity, which leads to more fruitful conversation.

So Adobe was never planning on suing anybody, but any third-party license agreements may have expired. Such as those with Pantone.

In a companion essay, I try to make the argument that AR peripherals are likely.

My best guess is that a smartphone-like peripherals will be shipped alongside the flagship AR/VR headsets. I guess the AR headsets might be viewed as the "peripheral" in the beginning, but I think eventually the AR headset will be the main focus, and the thing you hold in your hand will feel more like a keyboard/mouse.

I haven’t personally tried this but it might be somewhat possible today. Have you tried creating a worker that’s responsible for maintaining a pool of DB connections, turning on smart placement for it, and then using service bindings to talk to it to do the queries? That should work in terms of causing your pooler worker to be placed closed to your DB although not 100% clear on whether that will be sufficient to pool correctly. Worth an experiment. Using a DO is the other option provided your careful to make sure the DO actor is instantiated in a geographic region next to the database.

I don’t think you can connect() to the service binding yet which limits the flexibility as you have to manually tunnel your queries through a fetch handler, but it should be fairly doable and probably possible to have a generic conversion shim layer to convert.

> Seriously tho, take a break. Go has strengths and weaknesses like any language; generics is a weirdly specific thing to get hung up on, especially since they admitted it was a weakness and they fixed it.

It's too late, some problems caused by not having generics are unfixable at this point. As I said before, we're stuck with error codes for the forseeable future, because they chose to go with 1980s solutions to problems and not prioritize generics when everybody with a brain said they were needed.

> I mean - just look at the top five languages. C doesn’t even have generics, and it’s number 2. C++… not gonna go there. I have never used c# in anger so can’t comment. And I’ve tried to use Python and I hate it for all the reasons I enjoy Go - and it’s number 1.

Yes, those languages have problems. My point isn't to give you the opportunity to point the finger at other people, it's that we need better languages. This is why it's so fucking irritating that people latched onto Go, instead of one of the many amazing languages which isn't total shite. We need languages that have fixed these problems, but what we got was another shite language which learned almost nothing from the past.

At least C and Python have the excuse that they are products of their time. At least they learned from and fixed the mistakes of their predecessors. Go brings 0 innovation to the table: its best features, like coroutines and message queues, have existed in other languages for decades, and meanwhile they've made obvious mistakes that other languages already made and learned from. If I'm going to have to write code in a shite language, I might as well use one of the ones that knows and admits its problems, and has well-known solutions to them.

Yes, many of those languages made mistakes--a minimum of 10 years before Go existed. So why didn't Go learn from those mistakes?

> I mean, Java didn’t have generics for, what, 10 years? And Java generics are - in my opinion - a shitshow. And Java is #5 on your list.

My list? Bruh, this is a list of the most popular languages list. I didn't pick these, and I wouldn't pick those if I was making a list of the best languages. If you think that's what I'm saying, you're completely missing the point.

What you seem to be missing about Java is that their generics were a big step up from C++ templates--they were an improvement when they came out. They made mistakes, and C# learned from them, and brought in a better version of generics. You know, progress! Unlike Go which went with error codes and went with C-style casting and/or code generation which were already obviously problematic in the 80s, in 2009. Great language you got there, 25 years behind when it started.

> You’re welcome to your opinion, but complaining about a moderately popular language stealing mind share is kinda weird.

And you're welcome to yours, but defending an overhyped, innovation-less language that doesn't deserve its popularity is kinda weird too. We're both just wasting time.

Not necessarily. Take the "heighten the contradictions" types, who believe in either not remediating or even increasing the pain of current societal dysfunctions. They believe that after a blowup and revolution, things will be better.

You see a fair bit of that sort of logic on the right lately. Saletan's "The Corruption of Lindsey Graham" [1] documents the shift nicely, with Graham going from a senator who believed in democracy and inter-party comity to one who says Democrats "hate us" and "want to destroy us", claiming "there’s nothing they won’t do". Or look at Trump calling for the "termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution".

In that context, political actors can claim and might even believe that saving America from the boogeymen might require making things worse before they step in to put things right.

Make is still really about file to file transformations, and `go` already wraps up all of the behavior one would normally use make for. Plus you need make + a shell + go, vs. mage where all that's needed is go.

I can't speak for the author, but I assume they're reacting to how Makefiles tend to be used in go projects and not how make works generally.

Not to also discount how they have done new things with their existing IP like the AR Mario Circuit.

Nintendo is also innovating on their existing IP. So the idea that Nintendo can't do anything "New" is just not true.

When a new Zelda game sells this well of course the team that makes Zelda games are going to make a new Zelda game. It still feels fresh after 20 some odd years.
I don't care much about the Adobe bullshit any more, but after having used Photoshop for almost 20 years, I switched to Affinity last year and I cannot recommend it enough!

I use Procreate, Affinity and Figma and all of these tools are cheaper, easier to use, and still support my (often more advanced) use-cases.

Same with Lightroom vs. Capture One.

The world won't burn, but .sh and .zip are different.

If I send an email to my (less technically minded) family I may attach photos.zip. If I mention photos.zip in the body then the mail client may now convert it to a link. If http[://]photos.zip is a malware site, my family may download malware. I may inadvertently link to a malware site by talking about a zip file.

I could also send an email with "install.sh" as an attachment, and mention it in the body. http[://]install.sh could be a malware site too.

The differences. Non-technical people send, receive, and talk about zip files much more often.

.sh was also registered with a clear reason, it's a ccTLD, it's for a country. .zip is just a vanity gTLD. If Zipland was a country, I'd support .zip or ideally .zp. Without a clear purpose and with clear malicious uses, people are just going to block the TLD. Lots of IT folks talking about implementing it on Reddit.
Why? Adobe products have historically always been incredibly easy to pirate. It was almost an implicit part of their business model back in the day - get the kids and amateurs learning on pirated versions of their software, and when they take it professional they'll buy it. It worked really well.

Adobe never really cared about non-pros using pirated versions.

Where do you see that? As far as I can tell from the Montana legislature site, this motion to amend it along those lines failed: https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2023/AmdHtmH/SB0419.002.002.PDF

The 'current bill text' is this: https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2023/billhtml/SB0419.htm

And what it covers is:

Tiktok may not operate within the territorial jurisdiction of Montana. An entity violates this prohibition when any of the following occurs within the territorial jurisdiction of Montana:

(a) the operation of tiktok by the company or users; or

(b) the option to download the tiktok mobile application by a mobile application store.

I think Meta had two problems to deal with. One that could be solved at anytime but we have no idea even that time will come, and another, which I believe can only be resolved through taking consumers hostage.

The first problem is finding a good use case for meta. Many very disruptive technologies did not take off immediately from the beginning. Sometimes they didn't take off until their cost was low enough to align with their customer value. Sometimes they didn't take off because customers didn't know what they could do with the product, etc. Think books, TVs, cars, Internet, etc. I strongly believe that once valuable use cases have been identified by customers, the use of VR for metaverse experiences will take off. And it will not just "take off", it will skyrocket to the roofs.

The second problem in my opinion is the brand itself. Facebook was built from infancy on the theft of personal data (remember female profiles and pictures from university sororities websites being scrapped into Facebook to attract testosterone-awkward males). That's Facebook DNA: collecting and processing personal data from people with their legal but informed and/or unwilling consent. The problem with this approach is that until the first problem is solved for mass consumers (i.e., finding a good use case), the only potential customers of VR/AR equipment are tech savy geeks. And this crowd tends to dislike anything that comes out of Facebook/Meta.

Assuming the above is correct, the company has two options:
1. Finding a high-value use case that could attract a large but yet very specific customer segment, like children (parents), women, luxury, factory workers, etc.

2. Cleaning the company from everyone that destroyed its reputation (i.e., all C-level employees, at least) with immediate effect and bringing in someone who is known to treat privacy not as a legal topic but as a universal human right.

As you can probably guess, I speculate that Meta's only way out is solving the first problem before it runs out of cash.
Yes, but one team failing to reproduce it doesn't mean it can't be reproduced. Once there's two or three teams unable to reproduce it we can be confident to say "the described method doesn't work".
This was solved technically with the invention multisig wallets.

Whether the custodians choose to support them or not is another matter.
I still own the CS6 suite, the last one before Adobe went mad with subscriptions. Even back then they tried to switch CS6 users to CC users by accepting some ridiculous license agreement that would lead to losing access to CS6. Adobe became truly horrible when the current CEO took the reins.
I have my own domain attached to icloud mail at the moment. But primarily, I have my own domain and can move it to wherever I need it. Icloud mail isn't the best thing in the world, still, but it's more cost efficient than trying to run it on a personal O365 or some other service for now. I don't really have need for the enhanced security/privacy of some of the other providers available, at least for now, but having my own domain means migrating to them later, should I need it, shouldn't be difficult.

I will note the icloud mail web interface is utter garbage.
