Yeah, a lot of younger folks don't get this. In 1995, the web wasn't like today, only slower. There were no web search engines, only catalog pages like Yahoo. Documentation was often so hard to come by, View Source really was your only option if you wanted to learn newer techniques. That AND it was slow: a 14.4 modem downloaded 1MB every 10 minutes under optimal conditions (no one called while you were connected).

Another way of reading this: Meta still sees tremendous activity in Threads. Because first days of sign ups were crazy, like over a million a day. Obviously that isn’t sustainable nor expected to be. What shall be interesting is where Threads is in half a year, both in terms of their evolved culture and activity.

Yeah, I read words all day and don't think my reading would be significantly improved if I started communicating in Chinese and read kanji. I'm sure one language is easier to read than the other but I doubt it is because their symbols are distinct per "word". I suspect that English readers don't read every individual character but rely a lot on word shape and I also suspect that people reading kanji do take some effort parsing particular features of the characters. I doubt there is a major fundamental difference.
It's incredibly clear at this point - and it was clear a priori also, but with some uncertainty - that this is how federated networks will work, if they do at all. This just needs to be incorporated into any assumptions about these systems. Instead of thinking through the costs and benefits of decentralization with fairly evenly distributed node sizes, it's necessary to think through the costs and benefits of a decentralized system with a power law distribution of node size, because that's going to be reality.
Yikes. I was worried about stuff like this when I watched Zuckerberg's interview with Lex Fridman[0] and Zuckerberg talked mostly about LLaMA 2 having better "alignment" than the original, but this is far worse than I imagined.

From the last 4 open world games i really enjoyed:

Ghost of Tsushima - could have used being a good 30% shorter.

Witcher 3 and Horizon Forbidden West - entirely non repetitive but still took forever. Could have been shorter with little loss.

Horizon Zero Dawn - felt just right. Surprisingly, Elden Ring felt the same, in spite of it being a lot larger. But then I'm a rabid fan of Soulsbornes (I still think the best was Bloodborne and that's probably the shortest.)

I get it. But how big of a demand is there for that? Does the average Wednesday night neighborhood book club care? I am not denying that there is value there for someone, but most people don’t care. People that read books at a level of enthusiasm to join a network about reading don’t think about that stuff. Federation is a feature but it really isn’t an above the fold concern for the vast majority of the potential audience.

My point is that the value prop of this site isn’t federation, it “a social network for books.”

This could be marketed as a tool for virtual book clubs and communities. “Your book club, anywhere” kind of thing. This could be marketed as a tool for real world book clubs to use. There are thousands of book clubs who would probably love an easy to use tool for managing those clubs. Focusing on that aspect would be huge in my opinion. If the more tech astute want to “run their own instance,” that feature exists. Sort of like Wordpress for books — you have the Wordpress.com for those that just want to use the platform and the .org version for those that want to self-host as an example.

The ideological aspects are secondary assuming the goal is to grow and have a lot of people caring about this. A huge independent book community would be amazing. But this won’t get huge if normal people don’t have a reason to care.

Both Divinity games already set the standard for cRPG, Larian Studios basically solved cRPG.

Indie devs that try something entirely different with the RPG genre will have a shot.

AAA studios have ZERO excuses, some studios like Bethsesda & Rockstar did what Larian is doing decades ago on their own genre and they still are reaping the fruit of this strategy.

I have to admit that I can't imagine competitors like Ubisoft pulling this off even if the life of the business depended on it

My wife works in the audit department of a bank. I'm heavily regulated by the SEC on what stocks, ETFs, mutual funds I can buy/sell. An internal group monitors my buying/selling and makes approval/denial before I can do so.

I have to hold an ETF for 1 month before I can sell it--not that I should be swing trading ETFs, but still. It's very frustrating at times, especially when I'm relegated to using just her bank's trading platform, too.

I wonder how many people actually find any kind of information in teams logs that are older than, say, a few days.

Even leaving aside the fact that it's a horrendous experience because of the lag and messages jumping all over the place as they're loaded, the search function is an absolute joke. Half the time it doesn't find anything, and the other half it'll just give you give the message that exactly matches your query, without any kind of context.

I think this depends on the disease. Some diseases impact the young more than the old. The calculus required to compare age adjusted deaths by the demographic curve of mortality by pathogen is probably complex.

But I would also note that when you are dying or your loved ones die waving age or obesity adjustments to claim it’s not that bad doesn’t work very well. 1.1m deaths is still 10x more, and even on a per capita, it’s still 5x greater net “mourning.”

Whether the same pathogen would have been worse in one decade vs another I think is sort of irrelevant. The public health goal is the reduce mortality over all.

(N.b., I recognize you probably didn’t mean to minimize anyone’s loss - but I am trying to make the point that demographic analysis might or might not be explanatory of the severity of 2020, it doesn’t make 2020 any less severe)
This is very rough implementation, and vulnerable to getting caught in a loop on malicious DNS packets.

Rust's async/await is inspired by C# (which was inspired by F#, which was inspired by Haskell).

Agreed that people are generally too eager to reach for async when they could easily get away with threads, and fortunately Rust makes threads extremely pleasant to work with. The whole point of Rust is that it doesn't force you to use any given paradigm when it comes to concurrency/parallelism, and has support for many approaches.

If the politicians manage the process correctly, they can forever be passing "reform bills" which sound good...but have enough loopholes so that nothing resembling actual reform ever happens.

Rule of Thumb: If somebody claims they want to build a transportation system, then starts with a square wheel and talks about improving it as the next step - then either [1] they're teaching, and it's only a pedagogical exercise, or [2] they are lying about wanting to build a transportation system.
Probably not, but they should.

C already felt primitive in the mid-1990's, and by C++98 most of those features were available.

So they can use C++ for those fixes, with its JavaScript/TypeScript kind of symbiotic relationship for better or worse, or stick to C and keep waiting for such language, that will most likely require parsing include files with some kind of tooling.

The power of a global distributed hypertext for free sharing of information is so superior that it can't be subverted.

The Internet sees these advertising-type designers as damage, and routes around them.
>Two previous games, Divinity: Original Sin and Original Sin II, “worth of tech and institutional knowledge to draw from”

I wish there were more games like the 1st Divinity Original Sin. Personally one of the best humour and writing in a game I'v ever played. Very laid back and down to earth, and not taking itself very seriously (considering the fantasy cRPG genre)

Original Sin 2 is good, actually better, but it's more mature and more dark, totally changed the tone from the first game

The only way? If you know C++, Java, or Go, even Typescript for that matter, they are all almost exactly the same. There is a little nuance with respect to setting up a project idiomatically, but once that groundwork is laid anyone can come along as they're simply going to copy the structure and style of what is already there anyway.

> Did Sweden end up worse off with no lockdown?

I'm wondering how a reading of that article could lead anyone to quote it as an example of 'no lockdowns' - its very explicit that in many ways the measures taken in Sweden were even more restrictive (after 2020) than its neighbors in Norway and Denmark - both of which fared better than Sweden, both in deaths-per-million and also in the effect that the pandemic had on the economy.

The truth is that while the initial (and quite brief) open policies were in place, the authorities mistakenly thought that herd-immunity was close to being achieved, and that the astronomically high number of deaths (at several stages, the highest number of deaths-per-million in the world), were worth the reward of achieving it. The government even had one workshop where they discussed with relevant authorities how they would handle the negative press from other countries when Sweden could announce they were 'over' the pandemic (this was naturally before the catastrophic fall and winter of 2020).

After the deadly winter, the government more firmly took the reins from the health authority, and people outside Sweden would be surprised to hear how many restrictions were actually in place: including bans on group meetings, caps on the number of people who could enter a store at the same time, high school kids studying from home, and so on.

But most of all, Sweden is a country where people have lived with 'social distancing' for centuries: Stockholm has the highest number of single-person households of any capital city in the world, and that pattern is repeated all over this sparsely-poulated country. In the summers, a vast number of people leave towns and use their summer-places in the countryside - another tradition that's been going-on for the last couple of centuries. In the summer of 2020 I was in Stockholm, and would often be the only person eating in a restaurant that would normally be packed with people.

All of these factors helped Sweden to keep down what would otherwise have been even more catastrophic numbers of dead. Which isn't to say that the number of people who did die - often without any medical care whatsoever in the case of many elderly people in homes that were supposed to be somehow 'protected' from the pandemic - is not a massive tragedy, that Swedes themselves hardly talk about any longer. Because it really was both a callous loss of life, and a traumatic triumph of selfishness over common welfare.
You're assuming I'm not a hobbyist programmer (I am). Or that I don't take into account future requirements (I do). That I only care about a passable level of software (I am a big proponent of software craftsmanship... see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36586248#36587807, and also my original comment talked about maintainability...)

In a hobbyist mentality, go wild! Do whatever makes you happy. In a professional, business environment I want to deliver outcomes first, my personal happiness comes from delivering those outcomes so it matters less on the technical choice.
What about a website caldendar platform where you only specify which day you will work and can be potentially contacted or not (so we have Not Working, Working Without Meetings, Working With Meetings on some hours) for a sync call ?

Do you mean DoH? Not everyone uses DoH or even the same DoH provider, so no, it cannot make this change universally for everyone.

I think I'm saying:

1. The case in which 2FA is really key is when you have short password (or worse, a reused password). That leaves you open to bruteforce attacks, and attacks where your email/password combination that was leaked from one service is reused to gain
access to another service. But this is generally much less of an issue with a password manager where you are likely using a long random password that is unique per service.

2. 2FA is still an extra layer on top of this, but perhaps isn't super necessary for a lot of less critical services. The chances of your password being compromised are pretty small.

3. Particularly with SMS 2FA, there may be attacks which are present for that that are not present for password-manager based TOTP. For example, attackers may be able to read SMS messages off a phone's lock screen without unlocking the phone. So it's not obvious that this is strictly worse than other options.

4. I think the ideal (aside from U2F tokens) is probably 2 separate password managers, syncing to different clouds (if syncing): a first factor one and second factor one. If one is being really picky: then on separate devices. But this seems like it's probably overkill in most circumstances. Perhaps it makes sense to do something like this for a few key accounts (email, etc), but not everything?

I will be calling to complain if I am not assigned an ipv4 address by default. Very first thing I do whenever I move or get a new router is disable all ipv6. All of my client devices have ipv6 disabled. ipv6 takes a very simple addressing schema and unnecessarily turns it into an entire beeping protocol for no reason.

I don't care if I have to write angry letters to senators to pass laws forbidding the sunsetting of ipv4, this is 100% an issue I will go down fighting tooth and nail until I die or ipv6 dies, whichever first.

You've made the giant assumption that most people working in Rust are working with some kind of executor or framework, and you're either wrong, or the state of the Rust world has become very depressing.

tokio::spawn_blocking doesn't exist in my codebase because I'm not using tokio, nor should I have to in order to use library code from a crate.

This is the problem with async in a nutshell; it's viral, and it brings with it a lot of lifestyle assumptions. Assumptions that I think people who are used to working in the web framework world are maybe comfortable with, but which should not have been allowed to spread to the crates ecosystem broadly.

async is fine as an implementation option for your service or binary; but its propagation into library code means now people using that library are tied into requiring a framework to host it with. And this is frankly just bad hygiene, and in a way seems contrary to Rust philosophy generally.

Most crate writers are polite enough to offer async and non-async bundling of their code. But on more than one occasion recently I've run into dependencies that did not do this, or did not do this thoroughly (offering sync versions with less features, for example).
