This is actually one of the reasons I believe some foreign web commerce sites tend to do so well. There's a culture of filming everything. Film the product being made. Film the completed product in packaging. Film the completed product interacting with its environment and humans. Really adds to the "this product is real, and not a scam." Much larger barrier for falsification.
that depends on whether your definition of censorship is the prevention of speech or prevention of dissemination of speech, whether books count as speech, whether choosing to include existing books in a library counts as speech

i think it's fairly common knowledge that preventing the publishing of a book in the first place probably counts as censorship, but considering the nature of this library it becomes pretty fuzzy
Ah. But we're still using some algorithm that's doing curation to even look at reddit. I see you're point about reddit being manually curated via upvotes, interaction, and moderation, but there still has to be something in between to even find the content and match it with what we're looking for.

> With good tests, I don't care what the intent was, or whether this feature has grown new uses or or new users. I "fix" it and run the tests, and they indicate whether the fix is good.

Except when the tests verify what the code was designed to do, but other systems have grown dependencies on what the code actually does.

Or when you're removing unused code and its associated tests, but it turns out the code is still used.

Or when your change fails tests, but only because the tests are brittle so you fix the test to match the new situation. Except it turns out something had grown a dependency on the old behavior.

Tests are great, and for sufficiently self contained systems they can be all you need. In larger systems, though, sometimes you also need telemetry and/or staged rollouts.

I don’t think it’s a question of sexuality. Seeing the fully engaged arms and shoulders of a top female or male athlete doing a world class bouldering problem is just striking.

Likewise, TAoCP (er, Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming") is even _older_ than SICP, and will definitely not help with writing better professional Python programs, but is steeped in first-principles goodness. Even so, I end up turning to it every once in a while; once while figuring out some tricky allocation code, and another to see if I could find a way to skip a few steps in a piece of code that needed to run in a tight loop.

It's certainly not required reading to be a successful programmer in the 21st century, but like SICP, it offers a different way of looking at things that may help influence some of your decisions on how to build something.

This is also true in C... you make an excellent point: that for toy programs the default stdlib for any given language is often sufficient.
To me, there is one big argument for privacy: You never know what your govewrnment will change into in the next few years. This basic argument for encryption is often raised in combination with countries which we already consider non-free. But, frankly, I have finally learned the true meaning of this message during COVID times. I would never have expected society deteriorating into this fear/hate driven, media induced witchhunt. Since that experience, I basically expect anything frm the government, which makes the argument for being able to encrypt communication even stronger for me.

"I’m a health economist who has studied the pharmaceutical industry for the past 15 years. I believe the drug shortage problem illustrates a major shortcoming of capitalism."

He is arguing against his own point. The problem is a lack of supply but he is promoting the wrong political answer to a politically generated problem. In a purely capitalist economy a lack of supply would cause prices to go increase and the market would respond accordingly. This industry is highly regulated. In some cases for good reason. Regulation always stifles capitalism and results in less profit for the manufacture. The fix for to much regulation is less regulation, not more.

> The earth is round, there is no need for nuance there.

Clearly there is _some_ need for nuance there since the Earth isn't exactly a sphere. Even calling it an oblate ellipsoid isn't a perfect model. There is nuance everywhere, and clearly some models are more wrong than others; modeling the Earth as flat is much less accurate than a sphere, which in turn is less accurate than the somewhat flattened spheres common today, which in turn is less accurate than whatever the true shape of the Earth is.

But the takeaway from that shouldn't be creating a dogma that "the Earth is round" and moving on, just to own the guys that claim its flat (who are by and large just trolling you).

The article feels unsubstantive. It starts out with a short sentence of personal experience, then just throws around some generalizations about "web3" startup culture and later goes on to the a small and weird niche of avatar NFTs. The point the author is trying to make eludes me - "I was once in a web3 project and bad projects are bad, look at Azuki!".

There are lots of startups trying to combine technologies in different ways, they should be looked at individually on their own merit. Those who are just trying to profit off a hype should be eschewed, that's pretty much end of story. That some made the mistake of taking on an unpopular tag like "web3" is unfortunate but not a reason to vilify.

To zoom out a little bit I think a lot of us would agree that the internet is broken in some way - a small number of entities have control over all of our data. I do not know what the solution to that will look like but it will certainly involve some re-arrangement of incentives. Internet is driven by money, in the current system largely by money generated through advertising. So whatever a solution to internet ailments will be it necessarily has to do with how money flows. To some technologists blockchain is part of the puzzle. Unfortunately to them the technology often has speculative value, but in a way it is a byproduct of experimentation with money and who and how pays for computing resources. But there are other technologies, some revolving around how internet data is retrieved (IPFS). Some are focusing on identity via novel cryptographic method (sometimes using crypto wallets, but without actually using the chain, like disco.xyz for example).

The point I guess I am trying to make is that a lot of people are trying to improve the internet in a lot of ways and we should be supportive, even if skeptical. If blockchain is not to stick around it has funded great leaps in cryptographic research, it has disseminated cryptographic wallets to more people in the world than anything has and a whole generation of people is growing up with an understanding what a cryptographic signature is, it has fueled research into cooperative organization and probably much more that we will only see in hindsight. Throwing anybody who is associated with blockchain or "web3" or whatever it is into the same heap as Azuki is doing a disservice to everybody who has ever used the internet. We will not make progress this way.

It would be great if you could add support for AWS QLDB. It's an immutable blockchain database (basically, "git with an SQL interface"), and you can periodically "stamp" it by notarizing its hash with one of the public blockchains.

There’s also a chance he went to apologize and never get a relief or forgiveness as the person was really paralyzed. It is not fair to judge based on the result.

> The anti-encryption laws are likely vocally opposed only by a minority

I'd like you to back up that claim because from what I had seen about surveillance and terrorism most people supported it(even the patriot act had popular support in the polls). Only people smart enough to know about encryption oppose this. Most people who don't understand tech pretty much assume the government is already looking at messages. Long before snowden, illegal phone tapping was a public secret people were fine with so long as the government doesn't abuse that access. Even before computers, they had secret rooms where they opened to read people's letters without a warrant. Not one major political candidate that I can recall since 9/11 has mentioned expiring the patriot act or investingating the NSA and recommending criminal charges in their campaign, nor does it get brought up in their town halls.
I get that for whatever reason folks like yourself don't want to believe it, but trust me, masks work. Just ask anyone who works in asbestos abatement or BSL-2+ facilities.
> library use is orthogonal to language.

> assume that there are only C and JS

Not so much ignoring other languages, as just talking about the one which coincidentally (or maybe not) is the one that usually attracts most conversations about dependency ballooning, at least around here on HN.

> if those exact same devs would write C, they would somehow magically stop seeking out libraries to solve the problem for them?

I'd posit that an ecosystem which doesn't encourage to add a third party library for the tiniest of needs, yes, does indeed discourage from using libraries except for the most egregious needs.

E.g. you wouldn't implement a whole object-based oo-style programming paradigm in C, it would be wiser to just use GLib with its GObject implementation.

But it would be uncommon to use a stupid library like is-even. Something that is very common to do in JS.

And actually this leaves the space of being opinion based and is more supported by evidence. You'd hard pressed to find this kind of mindless lazy usage of libraries in well consolidated and popular C-based software. But I bet you wouldn't need even 30 seconds to find some popular JS package that in its transitive dependency tree ends up using a left-pad [1] level of library.
