From memory, our webdevs used a mixture of mac and windows. They had a private CVS repo, Some of them were using Tortoise and editing on windows, and others used BBEdit. (I thought there was a cvs client GUI on Mac too but I guess not)

BBEdit integrated some publish/checkin features as I understood it but you had to have enough CVS fu to manage some of it "outside" the tool.

(and, what I read suggests CVS was something you had to actually install on the MacOS of that day, from some repo or another, probably whatever proceeded XCode. the developer tool bundle?)

It was entirely normal to do FTP 15-20 years ago. The problem was, that FTP was bifurcated into two forms. "traditional" FTP with two channels one of which was a back call to the client and PASV mode which was the one which worked through firewalls better, where the server set up a path for the client to call into.

Maybe you never had these issues. I know a lot of people at the time (like me) fought with FTP services and connecting clients who couldn't enable PASV, or didn't know how to turn it on, or whose firewall admin wasn't up to speed with enabling things to make FTP work.

I forgot to note that the permission set needed to make XHTML and like functions work meant setting the execute bit on some uploaded content, sometimes. It wasn't adequate to just mark a file as .xhtml always, for things like SSI to work let alone CGI scripts. You can do that in FTP if you can issue the commands, or you can ask FTP to preserve state for you, but again from hazy memory CVS didn't always like chmod state of files checking things in and out.

My story takes place around 1999/2002-3. If I mis remember forgive me. I had already been working 17 years online by the late 90s, and this BBEdit stuff is now 20 years ago for me. I forget more than I remember.

POST TL;DR: CSS Day 2023 highlighted the increasing complexity and breadth of CSS, with more units and modules than ever before. While the growth presents opportunities for specialization, there's a concern that CSS and open standards are being controlled by a narrowing group of implementers, particularly Google. Despite this, CSS and HTML continue to evolve, making web development more accessible and the web more functional. The web's progress has been influenced by both European collaboration and American innovation, leading to its constant evolution. The conference underscored the need for the CSS community to grow and thrive to counterbalance the dominance of Silicon Valley giants and ensure user-centric development.

I know what the crypto bill says, thanks.

> All this is close to what the SEC requires.

No, the SEC requires cryptoassets to slot perfectly into existing regulation, making it de-facto impossible for any public-ledger-based-securities exchange to operate. I cover that in my comment here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36303345

Contrast that with the proposed UK law, which applies existing regulations in a commonsense way while realizing ones and zeroes in a public ledger behave fundamentally differently than the legal contracts they're used to regulating, and that those ones and zeroes absolutely, categorically cannot do certain things that 1930s laws might ask of them.

> This is probably more "clarity" than Coinbase wants.

Two months after the crypto bill was proposed, Brian Armstrong publicly stated (at a conference in London) that the UK's system is better for Coinbase than the US's system in the sense that there is one regulator providing clear guidelines (FCA) rather than two regulators squabbling over jurisdiction (SEC and CFTC).

He said: "You don't have this unfortunate thing happening where the CFTC and the SEC are having a turf battle. We actually have contradictory statements from the heads of the CFTC and the SEC coming out almost every few weeks. How's a business going to operate in that environment? We just want a clear rulebook."

So Coinbase has come out explicitly, emphatically, saying that the UK's crypto bill is exactly the level of clarity that they want.

The only real alternative option with most hardware is linux. And when the use case is browsing the internet and you are there to help them unstuck a broken update, things should be fine.
Absolutely, it is the reason I am not too positive about the future of computing. Back in the early 2000's it was considered a major privacy issue when Windows XP used to identify what kind of machine you were using for a Security update. It took less than 20 years for that to turn into the dumpster fire we have today.

It is a case of our economic system is pitched in such a way as to drive these large companies to this path. In optimizing for shareholder profit, eventually they will go the path of least ethical solution provided they can get away with it. Those that do not do that will be left behind . An absolute shame really.

It's perfectly reasonable that the Coinbase S1 doesn't include any descriptions of activities that are illegal, and for Coinbase to subsequently start doing illegal things. They even list this risk in the S1!

The SEC saying your S1 and IPO offering is probably kosher isn't a carte blanche to then do whatever you want without continued regulatory oversight.

I think its pretty shitty to want an entire sector of possibilities to just collapse and die just because some people are greedy.
is there any dummy guide to get started with any of these?
To clarify, I think both of us agree that things like weird data structures, compression/encryption algorithms, and a few other things that are actually non-obvious hard tech probably should be patentable (although it's usually a shitty business strategy to patent these things), but that most other software (including things like Amazon's one click ordering patent) shouldn't be. I will admit that I don't know where his moral line on this is exactly, and I know he is very happy to draft patents beyond it for strategic reasons.

I think many smart patent lawyers are ultimately legal realists here - they have their own philosophical views, but their job involves working in the real system.
Why do people keep saying its good at math when we have no clue about the training data, and all they do is insert some examples in an unscientific way in a program we have no clue what's behind it or whether its one system or even multiple.
Sounds like they expected in advance for the SEC to do something stupid and were very upfront about that fact. Now that the SEC has done a stupid thing they are complaining that the SEC in fact did the stupid thing. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
My biggest issue with people who complain about young people is that they think young people learn negative behaviours via osmosis.

Post TL;DR: Employees should view themselves as equals to their employers and can take actions to improve their working conditions. Understanding your value to the company and the leverage you have is important. By exercising agency and making choices that benefit both you and the company, such as adapting workflows or using preferred tools, you can assert your influence. Working with your team and justifying your actions based on productivity and profitability can help achieve goals like changing work schedules or skipping meetings. Using strategic approaches with HR can be useful, but be mindful of the risks involved. It's essential to know your worth, leverage, and the tools at your disposal to bring about positive outcomes while keeping productivity in focus.

Their job is to make sure that the IPO document discloses everything material so that investors can make an informed decision. That’s it.

In this case they would’ve been content with the disclosure that the entire business was at risk of being regulated, which is what’s happening here.

> To extend that ridiculous analogy, it would be akin to FDA approving heroin based products (similar to how SEC approved Bitcoin ETF in 2021) and then going after heroin.

So uh, you know you just described the opioid crisis in a nutshell right?

Modern opioid painkillers are in fact generally if not entirely accurately, 'heroin based products.' Not just that, prior to the Narcotics Tax Act of 1914 it was kind of a free-for-all, Bayer was selling heroin too! Opium was used to settle fussy babies (note, I'm sure it was very effective). [1] They were approved by the FDA. Then, of course, the FDA went after the makers of these drugs and tightened access to the drugs themselves.

[edit] If I were to offer a generous interpretation of the actions of the SEC, it would be that they didn't want to be seen as killing innovation in the crib. They gave crypto latitude, and then they decided they really didn't like what they saw. It's kind of a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' thing - you either kill it early and get reamed for that, or you let it fester and get blamed for ever having allowed it at all.

> comparison with heroin - wtf? To extend that ridiculous analogy, it would be akin to FDA approving heroin based products (similar to how SEC approved Bitcoin ETF in 2021) and then going after heroin

You’re describing regulated opiates versus street heroin. That is the point. Nobody thinks street heroin distributors can reasonably be shocked they’re breaking the law just because pharmacists distribute similar products.

Expressing good arguments forcefully isn’t irrational. The comparison to heroin distribution is an argument ad absurdum showing why Coinbase’s arguments aren’t novel. The rhetoric would not be a structurally different argument if it were instead about jumbo jets or vodka.

First of all, the OS does not style widgets, the browser does. And scrollbars are completely different in different browsers - they have different sizes, different behavior, different look-and-feels. So either you create versions of your app which match each browser individually, or you re-style the scrollbars to look the same as the rest of the app.

Thirdly, there is an obvious counter to your arguments that shows that one-size-fits-all design is not actually what users always want: games. You wouldn't expect a game to use the system look-and-feel, it rightfully uses a look-and-feel that matches the game itself.

And we can extend this observation further out: if your app is self-contained enough, and you have a distinctive enough style that your users like, then you should re-style everything away from the OS style to your specific unique look.

Should every app do this? Absolutely not. But is there no case outside gaming where an app should? Of course not.
I have no dog in this fight, but the fact that you end your "conda solves this complexity" explanation with "and mamba is a replacement for conda" doesn't really sell me on it. Is it just speed as the main reason for mamba? The fact that the "one ring to rule them all" solve for pythons packaging woes even has a replacement sort of defeats the purpose a little.

I understand why people find Python's packaging story painful, I guess is what I'm saying.
Yesterday would be fine too. In general you should not hold a balance anywhere but in a bank that is backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or your local equivalent. If it's pocket change then it doesn't really matter.
Nope, not for python 2, but there was tracking of published vulnerabilities. None that were discovered during my time there affected existing python 2 code.

Python 2 code is being transitioned to 3 and there is a plan to do so for all of it, but it's definitely not a highest priority task. Usually done when new features are requested.

This isn't ideal, but it's not a reason to panic. None of the code is externally facing, none of it accepts user input directly beyond a press of a button in third party software that triggers it. All it does is pretty simple stuff. Infrastructure provisioning etc.

The biggest issue with Reason and Elm is that they don't support integration with arbitrary npm packages. That's the fastest way to gain adoption. If you are going to launch a new frontend language and you are not google, the quickest method is to have out of the box compiler support for the existing JS ecosystem.
> I don't think it's the "public ledger" part of this that causes the regulatory issue frankly.

Myself I think that's precisely the issue the SEC is hung up on, but we could argue endlessly about what is probably causing the regulatory issue with the SEC and what they are probably okay and probably not okay with. Meanwhile, the UK just laid out a clear framework for crypto securities exchange in their new bill, which gives an unambiguous regulatory green light to any companies who want to relocate there.
this article does give me some privilege vibes.

So much of the article and the comments are focused on "blowing up your life" as a result of negative situations. Here's a sample of some of the negative verbiage seen here: "Baggage", "socially underdeveloped", "chore", "needs improving", "psychological trauma".

heh, yeah, I was going to say -- I don't use twitter and have used mastodon for years and do not expect it to become the next big thing.

is that important?

I put it like this. If you expect 1-to-1 mapping of your twitter social network and posts to mastodon to work before you switch, you will fail. Expecting that or something close to it is not unreasonable to want (okay, it's historically very unreasonable), but it is not what we have.

When I joined, I had one friend on the network. Then two, then I followed random people until I built a new social network organically over a year, and unfollowed people and now everything works nicely for me. I have a new social network, and all it really took was being willing to click follow and be patient.

It was slow though, or else would have been work, so I do get that this isn't a recommendation. It's honest though, and that will keep it from being the next big thing until everyone on Twitter is gone and the networks built from scratch are the place to be (and now more gentle to do that because you're a latecomer).

Next big thing though? Nah. I think it's a sustainable thing though, like Linux pre-smartphone, and one that doesn't need to be the next big thing to be big enough to hit perpetual improvement and growth until it does become closer to the big thing a few down the line..

We've got a lot of proprietary sites to crash and burn their VC funding by which point federated services are going to look like an oasis of stability where you can go back and find your friends when the trendy new network fails.

I don't know if mastodon will be a household name, but I bet it (or another federated service) outlasts bluesky, truth social, gab, reddit, twitter, instagram, youtube, tumblr, facebook, makes me wonder more at what point it's got a signal, email, dropbox, or online collaboration system somehow. I see no reason to think the network is boring enough that it will just peter out without active sabotage so far. Maybe everything will be more boring in this context in the future, that would be okay with me.
> Man this is such a cynical take.

And even then, Firefox's decline makes the same point; Chrome didn't win because it was more private, it won because it was fast, stable (when Chrome first launched, its process isolation features were unmatched - suddenly, one tab crashing didn't mean crashing the whole browser!), and of course because Google abused its search monopoly and bundling deals to cram it down people's throats. But for all that they cheated, they could have just won fair and square because they gave people features that people actually cared about; privacy was never relevant, and security was secondary.
