> But this article is missing the context about _why_ the Patent Office claims to think this is necessary in the first place.

Their claimed rationale for these changes is simply dishonest. Hundreds of patent trolls have been abusing pro-patent-holder rules for years and they never blinked an eye. USPTO only cares about "abuse" when they can use it as an excuse to gut a mechanism designed to (and working well to) combat patent troll abuse. They are an organization entirely captive to patent holders with zero interest to benefit innovation or society at large.

Sorry but law enforcement entities do not have a mandate for, nor are they required to, tell you specifically whether an act is expressly legal or illegal if you ask them.

Call a police department and ask them if you are allowed to bury your recently deceased relative on your property. They will tell you to get a lawyer. If they feel like arresting you for illegal disposal of human remains you can't use the defense 'but I asked them and they wouldn't tell me'.

It’s more that my crippling untreated depression as a 16-17 year old (plus some pretty brutal trauma) lead to me taking risks with little regard for the consequences, and one of those was opiates and heroin. It really did give me some measure of “purpose” and it really did keep my suicidal thoughts at bay. Not worth the long term consequences of addiction/dependency, but it wasn’t pure hedonism as the reason I was using it either.
What percentage of the massive expense in following that process would you say is regulatory capture?

I mod a few subs (largest is just over half a million.) While they're relatively easy to mod, I really enjoyed not having to check a queue, not having to deal with a lot of whiners in modmail, and definitely not having to deal with trolls and spammers. Pretty nice.

I blew that time today on browsing through a Lemmy node, but for the next two days I'm going to focus that time elsewhere... maybe I'll make fresh pasta.

They're not arbitrary at all. They're in directories visited by Finder, storing the open/closed state of subdirectories, and apparently other view data.

Apple, in its arrogance and backwardness, doesn't store those choices on the BROWSING user's computer; it stores them in the directories on the computer being browsed... where, by the way, they'll be trounced by the next Finder user who comes along.

This is just my empirical evidence - let me know if you disagree and have contrary information - but psychological traumas like this are increasing everywhere I look. In my local community, local country, globally, it's the same story basically: burnout, a need for a life blowup. I think it's clearly a growing trend, the old world just isn't working.

async-await is not the best solution for most things, but it is usually the best solution for UI and I/O (database interactions, data-fetching, file-system, etc)

Which makes it default-best for (and I speculate here) 90% of the code that is written because it covers client-side and server-side API layers. Ie business logic. Like you mention this kind of code is very rarely synchronous (in the sense that you want to block the execution thread until you get the result). An UI needs to keep answering to users inputs and an API server needs to keep answering requests while waiting on I/O

The places where it isn't good are usually the kind of software that can be packaged and reused (libraries, ie the heavy lifting software). Things like databases, image processing, neural networks, etc

Talking about JS specifically there are a few more use-cases where it isn't good even though an async-await system makes sense, like embedded low-memory environments

IMO the main problem with JS is not JS, it is the browsers DOM. It is about time we get a replacement.

Yes, that's one of the features that break with endless scroll bars, which was what this whole discussion was about.
Well yeah given that some people are still talking about issues from a software release that happened 15 years ago, it would be incredibly unlikely that they'd want to repeat that.

What has me a little bit confused is that we're in a thread talking about how Python somehow "flubbed" after 2->3, despite an explosion in popularity during that period culminating in it being arguably the most popular programming language around. And the counterexample is supposed to be Perl, a language which I have enjoyed using but which has fallen off a cliff during the same period, and which has had an even more enormous and self-defeating flub (Perl 6 aka "Raku").

As I said, I understand if Python 3.x was painful for some organizations. I think the suggestion that it was a failure and that Perl showed us the right way to go is a pretty silly one though.

I think the fact that server-based matchmaking is seperated in the way it is lends itself to those types of close-knit communities forming. MMOs with things like instancing implemented cause clusters like that to not form. You get that a little bit in capital cities in games like FFXIV and low-population WoW servers, but it's an unfortunate drawback for features to help with scaling.

> That can't be right. The human FoV is huge, more than 180 degrees. To cover that range without visible pixels requires much more than "4k" type resolution.

I'm not so sure. Human vision is only sharp in a coin-sized area at any time. If you fix your eyes on a single word in your comment you can't actually read the entire comment, for example.

In other words, you don't need 4k in your entire FOV you just need to ensure that most of the pixels are spent in the middle of the viewing area.

I believe that it would be possible to have the screens in the headset generate a very distorted image, where the edges are compressed to a small area of the actual screen and therefore low-res, while the lenses stretch this image to fill the viewing FOV. Kind of like anamorphic movie lenses, or even how wideangle lenses distort the edges more than the center.

I have no idea if Vision Pro does this but it seems theoretically possible at least.

Don't be combative. It's an American website, created with Americans in mind, with conversation conducted almost entirely in (American) English.

If you suffer third degree burns and no one's at fault, maybe your country just has really weak consumer protection laws?

> Liebeck went into shock and was taken to an emergency room at a hospital. She suffered third-degree burns on six percent of her skin and lesser burns over sixteen percent.[14][13] She remained in the hospital for eight days while she underwent skin grafting. During this period, Liebeck lost 20 pounds (9.1 kg), nearly 20 percent of her body weight, reducing her to 83 pounds (38 kg). After the hospital stay, Liebeck needed care for three weeks, which was provided by her daughter.[15] Liebeck suffered permanent disfigurement after the incident and was partially disabled for two years.[16][17]

For example, your country wouldn't punish people like these:

It’s a bit hard not to be cynical when he himself describes how he developed his channel by optimising and a/b testing everything “like a psychopath” including the amount of views per dollar given away - he says himself that 100k seems to be the inflection point, you don’t get so many more views by going from 100k to 500k or 1m. Not once did he ever appear to have thought about the impact on the lives of the people receiving this random lump sum, which plenty of research on lottery winners shows is often very disruptive and negative on their overall long term wellbeing. As for his “donating” for blindness surgery etc, there are plenty of actual charities staffed by volunteers working hard day after day, he could easily donate quietly to any of those and he chooses not to.
If AMD was software competent the frameworks would support their drivers just as well. No one wants a monopoly.
There was and still is. It is actively maintained, works fairly well and has even recently been extended with support for multicore.
Those people who were suffering from curable blindness that had been forgotten by society sure are marketed, businessed and entertained by their restored sight. He's doing good things to improve peoples lives and entertaining millions along the way.

"My criticism would be that it's local change vs trying for structural change. Why don't those people already have access to surgery?"

The reality is that Mr.Beast will not be changing the entire U.S. healthcare system. And that hundreds got life changing surgeries they wouldn't otherwise have gotten.

Do you think if you asked those people, they would say Mr. Beast is predatory? Would they have preferred that he Mr. Beast not run a donation-focused youtube channel?

He's created quite an ingenious way to siphon money from advertisers to random people. It's not the most 100% effective way of creating change, but viewing it so negatively is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

I love SublimeText, it’s my favorite text editor and also multiplatform, so I have the same experience and tools on macOS, Windows & Linux.

there's significantly less politics, I discovered some cool new subreddits due to so many of the biggest communities being closed, threads were pleasantly concise, and I just felt like it was a much more mentally healthy scrolling experience.

> This wasn't true for decades, `virtualenv` was de-facto standard isolation solution (now baked in as `python -m venv`, still de-facto standard)

Right; but python itself doesn’t check your local virtual environment unless you “activate” it (ugh what). And it can’t handle transitive dependency conflicts, like node and cargo can. Both of those problems stem from python assuming that a simple, flat set of dependencies are passed in from its environment variables.
The point is, if the original article is bogus and full of lies it should be trivial for the security community to debunk any back door claims and set the record straight, yet that isn’t being done while still calling for the original article lacking any proof be taken down.

Someone on one of these sides needs to provide evidence to support their claims. Clearly the authors of the original article have no intention or it would have been done already.

The Henry Ford quote is both dumb and extremely misapplied. It basically tells you that a successful, category-defining mass market product, does not look like what you'd get if you imagined asking a bunch of friends a quick question and took their imagined ad-hoc answers at face value.

I say imagined, because any actual horse owner would tell Ford they don't want a faster horse - they want a horse that's stronger, eats less, and shits less, as those were the real constraints of the horse platform[0].

(There's also a healthy dose of condescension in assuming "most people lack the (...) problem understanding". This may be true when you're thinking up a new class of a mass-market product. It's definitely not true when you're playing with some specialized product people already use productively.)

Also note the context here is pushing a new product category on the mass market. It's not about making an incremental improvement to existing product category, nor making an incremental improvement to existing product - two scenarios which most companies operate in, and in which this quote is most misapplied. In those scenarios, your users - again, note, not prospective clients, but existing users - most likely know the problem space way better than you do. They may have problems communicating the details of their feedback, so you need to actually try and understand what they're saying. Talk to them. Have them show you how they work.

[0] - Strength translates to work/carrying capacity, eating less would give exponential savings on logistics to large horse operators, such as militaries, and as for the last part... suffice it to say that in Ford's times, horse manure was a bigger and more immediate health problem than air pollution is today.
