Believe me, I do understand reproducing the curves and all is complicated, but the point I'm trying to get across is that that's not the goal for most people. Most people literally couldn't look at a photo and tell you if the picture came out of Lightroom or something else. When they do +2 exposure and -50 highlights, they're not thinking "will my cousin be able to tell that this didn't come out of Lightroom". They're thinking "will my cousin be even able to see me in the shadow and see the clouds in the blue sky". Heck, if the difference ends up being so awful and noticeable that you can't stand it, you can at least tweak the settings from there. But at least the software tried to do some of the work for you to get you around the right ballpark! If nothing else, at least you can see which settings needed to be adjusted so you don't have to spend time rediscovering that part for every photo! You don't have to force every single user to start from scratch for every single picture.
Yes, when hiring I do discriminate against candidates with bad skills.

Reading and writing, communication in written form is a critical skill for a software developer, more important than even coding skills (btw, I'm yet to see a person who can code and can't write, or even hear about such person). It is irrelevant, what is the reason for the lack of skill - innate disability or low intelligence - if you can't clearly and precisely communicate with your coworkers, you'll create more problems for the team than you will solve.

And speaking of discrimination, you wouldn't hire a paraplegic person as a nurse or firefighter, right?

What exactly do you mean by counterexample? Assange has had access to UK courts to attempt to challenge his extradition, but he hasn't been successful. He's nearly exhausted all the possible things to appeal.
Man, I personally love the fediverse and I think it’s hugely successful. My benchmark isn’t Reddit though, Reddit is a failing to me. It’s the forums of the late 90s and 2000s.

To me it’s the solution to the problem of starting communities. Or it’s difficult to start a forum these days because it’s not Reddit. You have to get buy-in from tons of people. Huge friction. Reddit and Twitter style but-in to new tags or new subreddits is basically zero friction. The fediverse solves that problem to me. You can create a forum that isn’t on Reddit now while having a non-zero chance at people joining, people that are in the fediverse that is.

That’s huge to me because it felt to me like the internet was dying due to centralization. It was Reddit or nothing.

It’s already successful in my view. Obviously it has a long way to go on UX, but it’s got so much potential.

I wouldn't call it more effort per se. Their dividends are simply paying off earlier. They spent the 2010's trying to foster new IPs and move towards that cinematic moniker that people now see as Marvel-esque. I'm not sure if it was efficient from a sales standpoint, but it got mindshare.

> The benzene content of typical gasoline is 0.76% by mass (gasoline composition). A spill of 10 gallons of gasoline (only 0.1% of the 10,000 gallon tank, a quantity undetectable by manual gauging and inventory control) contains about 230 grams of benzene. The EPA’s Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for benzene is 5 parts per billion (ppb), or 5 micrograms per liter, in drinking water. The density of gasoline is about 0.8 g/mL, so the benzene in a 10 gallon gasoline leak can contaminate about 46 million liters, or 12 million gallons of water

> In 1983, the EPA declared leaking tanks a serious threat to groundwater, and Congress soon stepped in with new regulations. One of the largest spills was in Brooklyn, where a 17 million-gallon pool of oil gradually collected beneath a Mobil gas station — a larger spill than the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989

If they are then so are my days on reddit. The whole API debacle is already pretty rough for them. I can't imagine removing old.reddit could possibly be a good decision for them now. I have an account but only i choose when to use that account. If reddit removes choice, I'll remove reddit.

It's really striking though that all of this hate for these terrible dark patterns invariably ends in a statement like, 'leaving would honestly improve my life'.

I like this about Deno (not to suggest that the runtime is without its flaws). Whenever I try to run a script and it tells me I need to allow e.g. read access to the filesystem, I’m more grateful than annoyed.

I have no doubts your claim as it was written in text was correct. The lie was by layout and usage of company and university logos. These kinds of "we are trusted by" and "in cooperation with" sections are common, it's what you're making in that section, and the usage of logos in those sections always mean the same thing: these organisations use/trust our software.

Fair. I’m loving Mastodon and etc, and frankly a big selling point is that it’s not the Reddit or Twitter audience. If they joined my next desire would be looking for smaller instances or communities to filter out the vibe of Reddit.

I get this all the time at work... We have somewhat large subnets for clients (I think /22 and /23, and something much larger for our VPN pools) so I'll not-infrequently get "client has wrong IP address" things because they have a .0 or .1 or .255.
I once had my residential cable provider assign me an address ending in .0 (not /24), which I thought was pretty neat. But I predictably ran into some sites and services that refused me access and eventually forced a change.
Really appreciate and like how he calls out agents as difficult. They're super fascinating, but just not there yet. Agents, like self-driving, are easy to imagine, easy to demo, but to do right will "take a decade".

I'm much happier with relative timestamps-- as long as I can hover over and get a real timestamp (preferably '8601) I'm good. 70%+ of the time-- and 100% of the time when I'm most in a rush-- I just want an order-of-magnitude relative time: is this seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years?

If I'm going to be looking at a timestamp, I'm going to be thinking. Often times what I'll be comparing to is-- (or might be, because of ambiguity)-- a local time. Hovering my mouse is not a dealbreaker.
Just passionate and talented hobbyist. It's not exactly [1] new invention, it's not being done because building proper engine is not all that more expensive, especially when you take into count suboptimal PCB coil design. Still need a bunch of custom elements too.

Can somebody define what "emotional support" even is?
I have no clue what they are talking about.

From reading the article I would say men might need mentors who give them good advice and wisdom. That is what I felt I needed at times, anyway.
In school, I handled the network for students, we had a /22. I was still afraid to use .0 and .255.
I’m talking about turning the iron oxide back into iron that can be burned. That usually uses carbon monoxide (mixed with hydrogen) to capture the oxygen atoms out of the iron oxide.

To clarify my position, I do believe in free will; specifically a compatibilistic view of free will. If you read my other replies, you can see that I do advocate for a criminal justice sustem, just not a retributive one (or a restorative one, for that matter).

I do not excuse any crime, nor do I excuse any punishment. Every individual is responsible for their own actions, regardless of the circumstances. However, I see little use in revenge from a legal standpoint. Instead our main motivations should be deterrence and incarceration.
You don't have to change the world, but if no one tries to change things that are bad, they will not change.

Sounds like you're used to having slick conmen give you assurances that they're expecting to break. There's a lot of stuff I wouldn't be happy to commit to as you're asking for it. I could give estimates or forecasts, but the real world is messy and it isn't worth my time to give hard committments.

I don't but its a different matter to use a term like "sexist" compared to "incel".

In a ponzi scheme, some actors go to jail for the rest of their lives and in a speculative bubble they do not. There are good reasons to have separate words for these separate concepts.

Dishonest people will always use hyperbole when describing the world. That hyperbole is not justification for honest people to abandon technical definitions. And that is what you are proposing. Having everyone "evolve" on the definition of 'ponzi scheme' means that the current definition is erased. But the current definition is still in use!
Thank you. I agree: it's a great moat against closed-source competitors. Plus I'm noticing more and more businesses going with permissive Apache 2.0 licenses (or similar), which is great for the public as well.
> build.rs can't change the feature set.

Can you be more specific here? You can totally do that based on OS, environment vars or even direct feature flags in the Cargo.toml. I've got a number of projects that do this and let downstream consumers decide what features they want. At the end of the day it's just a Rust program that runs ahead of the build and can do anything that you would be able to do in a normal command line program.

> ... but when it comes to configuring to use an installed library and passing the right linker flags, this becomes really tricky.

pkg-config[1] does all of that including returning linker flags. I can't think of a single case where I wasn't able to integrate with an existing library.

I'm not saying there are zero issues(I.E. passing some linker flags as a dependent crate gets annoying) but my experience having used C++ across a number of platforms(Win32, Linux, proprietary systems) before CMake existed and after it started getting wider adoption is that CMake has a significantly higher hurdle and is just harder to get things working correctly, especially under cross-compilation configurations.

Programs that use configuration files should provide ways to:

show which sources of config data were used: files, CLI, env vars, etc.
with --verbose, also show which potential sources were not used

show any conflicts or overrides from config sources

show config settings differing from program defaults
in the same format as their source, or
in an appropriate format for a config file

For the last item, it should be possible to capture the output showing
non-default settings and append it to a config file, without any editing
or processing, to reproduce the program configuration state exactly.

I have to disagree with you, the ability for threat actors and LE to selectively backdoor code on server is important in any TM.

Practicality is dynamic, TAs use the easiest method within the parameters of their objectives. It is reasonable to assume this attack would be the easiest given lack of other options.

By your logic,56 bit DES is fine because most people won't see attackers that spend >$20k to crack their keys. Just like they won't see robbers who spend that much to break into their homes.

Infosec is different than IRL because TAs can attack arbitrary targets easily with little personal risk. Also, hard attacks today can become common attacks a year from now and security for even the 99th percentile of users who get targeted attacks is important.

Maybe one could use this analogy, but those with the WMDs are the rich, the right owners that can hire an army of lawyers. So it's legal warfare against regular people.

Also unlike MAD large corporations do regularly engage in fierce IP battles. Like Apple vs Samsung. I do see the pro arguments, but overall I find it doubtful if if it's a net positive for humanity to have strict IP laws at all.

There are all sorts of ways to defend against a hostile takeover like this. I already mentioned Zuckerberg having majority control of the voting shares despite the company being public. There was also the attempted takeover of Netflix a decade ago that was prevented with a poison pill to issue more shares.

I think it's a reasonable complaint.
I was introduced to this tap code just after being incarcerated and used it often. A friend and I also modified it to be able to communicate in/out of solitary confinement as they had kiosks in each cell block allowing you to order commissary food. The kiosks had many bugs I found in the code, but they especially lacked any sane range checking, so you could enter orders for up to 9999 noodles for instance.

We broke the knock code into two "byte" pairs. So HELL would be an order of 2315 Beef noodles and 3131 Chicken noodles.

To access the orders between cellblocks it was necessary for the person in solitary to write their PIN (their username was their jail ID#) on a piece of toilet paper and pass it to someone outside solitary on a day they were in court. Then both sender and recipient could log into the same account from different cellblocks and read the order. Once read the order would be deleted and another order placed to reply to the message.

At first I was out of solitary, but then I got sent for extortion (charge dropped after 10 days, story of my life) and while I was in solitary the staff went through my stuff and found some pieces of paper where I had sat encoding and decoding messages. The staff didn't have the table though and through the FOIA I managed to get access to their working out, but they never successfully decoded any of the undecoded messages they obtained from the kiosk. After that we rotated the encoding table 90 degrees in our heads to act as a very simple form of encryption in case they tried again. It took the authorities another 6 months to persuade the kiosk developers to add a piece of code which checked the jail ID# that was logging in against the cellblock they were in to make sure you couldn't log into an account if you weren't in the right cellblock.
