I started to read a book on a summary of Norse myths. In the introduction, it suggested that since in pre-Christian Scandinavia there was no strong or even existing belief in a timeless afterlife, people, particularly of the Viking stock, would seek their fame as a way to live on after their own death.

I thought this was interesting in that it could be profound in the minds of public individuals, whether conscious or not, particularly if they share a lack of an eternal life.
My solution was to not make a "I'm leaving for X" post but rather "I do most of my social media posting on X now" post. I do still make a few posts on Twitter but not nearly as many as I did before.

I think the need for a Magic Solver suggests weaknesses in how we package and load dependencies. Every piece of running code should have its own space for dependencies. If most of them happen to coincide, then good: we can save a lot of RAM. But if not, also good.

That's not going to stop lawsuits from happening. You'd need to bring in professional arbitrators to review the company's decision. There is just too big of a legal risk for this business model to work. The company is also incentivized to take the money.

> But I recently realized there is a very good reason to take Calculus. It’s to prove you can do hard things.

While I do like mathematics (thus I clearly have no negative feelings about learning calculus), this argument is dubious: the longer I live, the more I realize that the capability to learn complicated scientific stuff (including mathematics) hardly does transfer to other areas of life.

Just consider this: if such skills transferred so well, one would expect that those people who make a steep career in companies have learned lots of insanely hard stuff, often hard mathematical and scientific stuff. The reality is that the people who have such a steep career are rather great "policitians" (in the negative sense), sycophants and self-promoters. On the other hand, learning hard scientific/mathematical stuff nurtures the personality trait of "no bullshitting" and developing less tolerance for claims that clearly cannot be abided by.

Thus: I really like learning hard things, but this personality trait is in my opinion often a career killer.
>But I recently realized there is a very good reason to take Calculus. It’s to prove you can do hard things

Doing hard things proves you can do hard things. Where does calculus enter into it?

>The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts."

>Most C students are not doing other hard things instead of school. They’re just goofing off, so they end up working for the A student.

This is ridiculous. Author goes on to imply these ("most C students") are on social media and using drugs. I'd put any money on them being much more likely to have been raised by the type of parent who believes their kid needs a reason to want to learn calculus.

Oh, and what is "hard" by the way? Is it doing something you're not good at until you're good at it? Does it need to be valuable from my perspective or that of my parent? Should it take a certain amount of time to become "good" at it? When am I good at it? Can it be a hobby I enjoy even while it's difficult, or must it be a chore? What if I'm forced to overcome some hurdle in my life for example growing up with a foolish parent with warped worldviews?

It's pretty easy in a lot of embedded applications to basically only have objects that live forever or are allocated on the stack. I usually aim for zero heap at all, and just have statically allocated objects for the 'forever' set (which makes it easier to see what's using memory). If you're careful you can also statically work out worst-case stack usage as well and have a decent guarantee that you won't ever run out of memory. If there are short-lived objects, a memory pool or queue is usually the best option (though at that point you do invite use-after-free type errors and pool exhaustion). I would say with this style it's extremely rare to have memory safety issues, but it's also not really suitable to a lot of applications.

CORS is a browser security measure to protect users from malicious sites. This is an app and not a web browser and is therefore allowed to send HTTP requests to any URL it wants and to parse the HTTP responses as it deems necessary.
Besides, most people announcing they are leaving or pondering it loudly are doing it exactly for popularity ("I hear that 'Twitter is now awful' is the latest trend! Acknowledge me as a cool person that flies the outrage flag of the day").

Monarchs putting their own interests first is not the defining characteristic of monarchy which distinguishes it from democracy, but rather: The idea that leaders put their own interests first is axiomatic in all systems of government and what distinguishes a good system of government from a bad one is that, in a good system of government, a leader can't do what's in their own interest without causing things to get done, as a side effect, that are in everyone else's interest. It's about aligning incentives.

Even the most absolutist of monarchs can't get anything done in government without being surrounded by others who will execute his wishes, and in order to get them to execute his wishes, a monarch will have to make it in their best interest to do what's in his best interest, and that, by definition, puts boundaries on "immiseration". For example, clergy were generally treated pretty well in medieval monarchies, simply because the pulpit gave them political power which the monarchs had to contend with.

The relevant metric is actually a simple number, namely: Share of population needed to make a leader's life difficult. I got this idea from the books "The logic of political survival" and "The dictator's handbook", and found it quite convincing. The authors distinguish "small coalition regimes" from "large coalition regimes".

Values simply do not enter into it, only political calculation, and it's a mistake to think that today's leadership ranks (or society, in general) are somehow permeated by more noble values than existed back then. We've simply gotten better at making it in everyone's best interest to get along.

Medieval monarchies are smaller in coalition size than modern democracies. And the "tribal warlordism slash anarchy" I'm speaking of is simply a system where the number of people who can make your life difficult based solely on having more muscle is even larger than in a monarchy, while the number of people that they (the ones with the muscle) are forced to treat nicely is conversely smaller.

If I'm a fief in a well-established monarchy and I can live in (relative) peace in exchange for paying my taxes and rendering my services, then that's a step forward for me if my life, previously, was getting my crops stolen and head kicked-in whenever someone stronger than me wanted to treat me that way.

I think what they mean is that it is accessing Reddit the same way that the web front end does.

I.e that this Android app does not use the Reddit Data API https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/16160319875... which if I understand correctly is the API that you would create an app id for on Reddit.

It goes without saying that the Android app being discussed here probably breaks the terms of use for Reddit

This is a very tech-literate user opinion on this matter. Having lived together with a UI designer for over 5 years I have come to appreciate the art and science of UI design. Whereas before I would have had the same opinion, I can now better see a UI through the eyes of an end user, and the larger amount of white space is definitely an improvement. It's about allowing space for your eyes to rest, it's about providing clear compartments in the UI that pop out immediately, instead of a compressed mess where everything seems to blend together. Ideally you should know where to click seconds after deciding you want to do something, even as a new user.

UI design is not just some designer deciding that something looks good and just doing it that way. UI/UX design is not some "beautiful interaction layer" that you put on top of the actual "real part" of the application. A lot of software developers (me included originally) seem to think that way, I don't know why, maybe it's a bias in education. UI design is an integral part of the software development process, and I would argue more important than the programming itself. In fact, it should be the primary source of decisions that we make in our choices behind the software development process, not the other way around.

UI/UX design is the art and science of looking at your product the way a user would look at it, making it as accessible and intuitive as possible. It is the art and science of making the product that your user wants and needs, instead of whatever you think they need. The decisions made in UI design (like "adding more whitespace") are not made arbitrarily. They are not made because someone thinks it looks pretty. They are the result of years of user research and A/B testing, just like our programming paradigms are the result of years of research. It would be arrogant to dismiss all this effort by millions of people based on personal opinion.

That being said, the Office ribbon is a complete clusterfuck, and kind of the worst example you can find of modern UI design.

That also being said, I do think the original post is making a false comparison. Of course UI's will be designed to fit the technology of their age. If you only have limited screen space you want to conserve it as much as possible, hence why the toolbar approach was chosen for Word 97, as even screens of 1024x768 resolution were rare back then. The ribbon UI was designed for an age where larger screens were common and it could be afforded to take up more pixels. In fact if you were to put a 40px toolbar on a modern 4K screen it would be tiny, hard to see and hard to click on. Putting the modern ribbon UI on an old 800x600 screen that it was not at all designed for is pushing an agenda.

I left WhatsApp when it was acquired by Meta (née Facebook) in 2014. I actually lost friends because of it-- they didn't answer calls or texts or any other form of communication on another platform reliably. It was surprisingly difficult to stick to my guns. I did--but it very much impacted my life.
They have :

1. A size that impacts the internal market [of the EU]

2. The control of an important gateway for business users towards final consumers (because of ads)

3. An entrenched and durable position

Actually you could take that $60 game and sell it for another. And if you didn't buy an absolute stinker you could often get a pretty good amount of cash/credit back if you traded it shortly after release. We also used to have these places where for about $6 you could rent a game for a few days and decide if you want it to own. They often stocked a lot of the hot new release and they didn't need to enter special deals with the publisher for it to be available. If we had better rights over the stuff we buy digutally we could have stuff like this again.
Yeah I guess it's an API, but it's using public endpoints that don't require registering an application and creating an API key, or being subjected to the same rate limits.

is every endpoint that returns JSON an api? maybe
It’s really interesting how we shy away from some “hard” things, even though there is literally nothing at stake that could prevent us from doing them. Nothing life-threatening, no (or minimal) risk of physical or psychological damage, no social exclusion, no irreversable decisions about the future to make. Why can’t we just try/do it – what are we so afraid of?

Many people (especially those in a lucky environment) can just try to draw realistically (which is actually not that hard, given a good teacher/instruction), study a “hard” topic in philosophy, get good at playing a “hard” song on an instrument or even learn how to prove mathematical statements or how to model and analyze complex systems. We can just try, there is nothing at stake except our time and energy.

When something is really interesting to me, I try not to stop myself from pursuing it just because it is considered “hard”. I have many mental issues (executive dysfunction, bad memory, etc.) but I am also stubborn and curious enough to try anything, again and again if I have to, which I never regretted. It doesn’t hurt and it can be so much fun with a humble and relaxed attitude and especially if I don’t try to compare myself to others, which might be one of the main things that is holding most of us back.
Relaxation and contentment (times when you don't feel the urge to be productive) is actually the most finite resource.

> I get that for enthusiasts owning a physical game may be more desirable

It is more desirable. So is not having to be connected to the internet to play your games. So is not paying for something that can be taken from you at any time for any reason without reimbursement. So is having a copy of your game that can't be edited or censored at any time (including silently) and which can always be played in its original form.

Also desirable is the ability to modify or patch the games you paid for however you like, even in ways publishers wouldn't approve of. So is the ability to let a friend borrow the game. So is the ability to resell your games. So is the ability to pass them down to your kids or grand kids.

When all you have is "gaming as a service" you'll be giving up a hell of a lot more than a disk or a box on your shelf. Companies love cloud/subscription based gaming because it gives them far more control, gives them new ways to collect data on users and new ways to push ads at them, and it allows them to force gamers to pay for their games over and over again instead of it being just a one time purchase.

I don't care how "casual" a gamer someone is, they will never be better off giving up so much in exchange for so little, especially since what little they do get is all subject to change at any time, just like the ongoing costs will be.
It shouldn't need justification though. And it really should be automated.

Whataboutism. Look it up.

(Also, you might want to check on the concept of "multiple people" which may, surprisingly, hold different opinions and express them at different times or events. Noone in this world owes you consistency to other people.)
That's a fair point. Off to play the piano :) (thanks for the reminder)
Incidentally, that opinion is also offensive. Not just some tossed "All X are Y, goodnight", but a loaded one.

If you happen to conjure thoughts and let them roam wildly, well don't. Make an effort. Critical thinking as a conscious intentional effort must have plenty of literature. The "feedforward" output, the hallucination, is not a dish for service.
You do break it by replacing the walled garden with something more sane. I personally left all traditional social media and replaced it with a personal blog and private emails and mails to people and I couldn’t be happier.
ActivityPub has effectively become a drop-in replacement for the constellation of older systems (OStatus etc) that the fediverse used to use. That was possible because it didn't require changes in how the nodes in the network relate to eachother. Bluesky on the other hand is trying out a completely different network topology. It's too soon to say if it'll ultimately be better, but if it does succeed, it won't necessarily produce something that could be retrofitted onto ActivityPub.

> The fact that they haven't opened up yet for other nodes makes it clear.

That's far too cynical. A federated social network is a really difficult project and there's many good reasons you might want to start with a single node.
> because from Windows 3.1 until well into the 2000s you could create your own system-wide color scheme that would be honored by all properly-written applications

That was possible since the very first Windows version.

Most customers I work with use mostly Linux on Azure. Lots of Kubernetes and container stuff going on there.
Perhaps the term provenance was misleading. I simply mean that those MacBooks are not perfectly good, because it’s not clear that they were legitimately and willingly sold. The activation lock release procedure is simple to follow during a legitimate exchange, and quite amenable to a follow-up if the sale was legitimate - therefore a MacBook with activation lock is less likely to have changed hands legitimately.

Relatedly, I really couldn’t disagree more with this being an attack on “property rights” by Apple. If anything, I feel like activation lock has given me a strong new right over my Apple property, a right that most laptop owners do not have.
The typeface looks nice, but I first opened the site on mobile and it told me to use keys to navigate, effectively locking me out from browsing it.

I then opened it on desktop, tried to scroll and realised that it uses WASD keys which are all over my keyboard. The scroll wheel on my mouse/trackpad/etc don't work. As a user of a non-QWERTY layout this sucks.

Then I tried to use the text zoom and while it documents this as being controlled by + and -, it's actually controlled by _ and /. This suggests careless handling of input.

Why does this matter? I think a very important thing for typefaces is accessibility and coverage of edge-cases in language and usage. Covering characters that are used in different languages (even just punctuation that isn't common in English), ensuring readability for those without perfect vision, and so on, all require care and attention to a wide range of concerns.

This website doesn't instil confidence that the designers of the typeface have taken this approach, and in fact the interaction model (which I actually really like) gives the impression of style over substance.
