It's possible to provide for one's children without turning the world into a ruinous corporate dystopia. What a world to subject your children to.

No, "I have kids" is not an excuse. You do see how that makes this even worse, yes? To pretend to give a shit about future generations while gleefully destroying the liberties of those future generations?
This is such a good idea for the next stage of the surveillancification of the Internet that it could possibly get Google, if they go ahead with attempting to implement this, in the very-good-books with the increasingly paranoid, control-freakish western governments.

It will voluntarily segregate the happy conformists into their safe, normalised, walled-garden whilst the, likely technically proficient types that can wrangle hardware and software and therefore the single most dangerous group of individuals on the planet, non-conformists are easily identified by their continued participation in the wild-west-web of yore, eschewing, or at least not exclusively joining, the new utopia.

Maybe we'll get back the web we keep saying we miss, with Eternal September nicely walled-off, but maybe it'll be a case of be careful what you wish for, because now it'll put us on watch lists, not because law enforcement understand the technology any better, but because they've got their own tools to build what they think is a better mousetrap. And law enforcement love their own tools.
Maybe if it pulsed the magnetic field very quickly it wouldn't be a big deal.
This was my take away as well. I see a lot of imaginary, proposed future problems and no concrete issues that this is currently trying to solve. It gives the impression that it's just being put out there to muddy the waters and give some credence to an otherwise awful barrier to entry for the web.
> It would only make sense if it was given to be used a store of value, but they had perfectly good coins to pay salaries with.

The Roman Empire towards its end in the west had suffered from a lot of inflation, so coinage was either too expensive for everyday use (i.e. gold-coins, each of which would be a year's salary for a soldier), or worthless (basically just lumps of base-metal).

I think at a certain point taxes were required to be paid in goods rather than coin which really does show that your currency is worthless (when even the state refuses to accept it!)
It's never about languages, but it is about concepts.

I strongly believe that learning different languages will make you an overall better developer if those languages make you learn different concepts.

Such as learning pointers vs garbage collection, imperative vs declarative, single-threaded vs concurrent, dynamically vs statically typed, highly specialized syntax vs generalized syntax (s-expressions) and so on.
As a designer specialising in mobile apps, I have to say nothing still comes close to native codebase experience. Expo & RN is fantastic for MVP (and I've been a super early adopter of RN back in ~2014). But once you start building anything serious, you will very quickly start hitting the walls.

As an example, some time ago, it was impossible to implement those iOS large headers that shrink to small once you start scrolling. Even though they were de facto standard in iOS for years already. Also the heavy layering of modals introduced in mostly in iOS 15 were basically impossible. Plus they heavily rely on subtle transitions like the 2nd layer scaling down, moving back and top edge peeking out at the top, so that the user gets a hint where they are in the hierarchy... Not sure if all this stuff works now, but generally Expo & RN were very slow to catch up with iOS and you had to rely a lot on dubious libraries, ending up with messy patchwork.

All these minor details are extremely palpable, even by standard users, and the experience just always feels a bit off.
Maybe there is still some who will fight the good fight and make the software purposely bad. How good is Google QA?
"Rather than a reflection of antipathies between Right and Left, today’s culture war is a continuation of the age-old conflict between liberty and authoritarianism."

Is private ownership of most or all the land, without compensation, compatible with liberty? You shouldn't have to be a Marxist to understand why this should be a central question. I'm not sure what the answer is, but as long as this question is ignored, the conversation isn't a serious one, in my opinion.

I agree that the culture war is "not a distraction" however, and I have some strong feelings about it, though I think they're ultimately peculiar to my circumstances.

But I've noticed works of Plato and copies of Don Quixote removed from my local library. Now I'm not sure they're victims of the culture war (there's a move towards "e-books", and not all of the books by this author/under this title have been removed), but I have my suspicions.

In chapter 29 of Part One of Don Quixote, there's this episode where Sancho Panza is troubled in thought while contemplating rule of the kingdom of Micomicon (an invented name that suggests the words mico {"monkey"} and comico {"comical"}) of Ethiopia that all his subjects will be black, but reassures himself with the thought that he can sell them into slavery.

Now I'm sure this is shockingly racist for modern ears, but are contemporary psyches so fragile that they can't handle the blunt prejudice of a silly, fictional seventeenth century Spanish peasant?

My guess is that the subject of slavery is also why Plato could be considered "problematic". My understanding of his thinking is that authority of those with knowledge over those without is natural, or at least ideal (think of our relationship with young children and animals, which in the latter Plato included humans), and this line of thought would have undergirded his acceptance of slavery. This is different from approving of the exploitation of humans (or potentially any animal for that matter) based on race, and/or without regard for their welfare (the implied onus is not to be less, but more concerned about the welfare of those under one's authority). Also, the most important kind of liberty for Plato is liberty of the soul or psyche, which is hindered by the appetites and desires of the body.

Thanks, I used to use Vivaldi many years ago (switched by to Firefox eventually). I just tried it again and unfortunately their user inteface is very cluttered and not polished by default - comparing to Arc.

In Vivaldi

1. Everything is very very tiny. You have to google there is zoom ui slider - but after changing to 130% I finally have nice padding but it scales all UI so now I endup with very big and fat icons and fonts. What's worse those icons, font looks like are just rasterized and because of that not sharp

2. Default selected tab and tab colors are very cluttered

3. Their command panel cmd+e is very cluttered and need to learn about new shortcut (I don't want to create notes, search history, bookmarks, I want to only search current open tabs, search engine, execute command or open by url. This panel also very tiny

4. Trash button doesn't work for me - doesn't do anything. I expected it will nuke all open tabs - last time I used vivaldi many years ago this was the final straw for me - closing like 50 tabs was taking like 5+ seconds.
I have no idea. I just pointed out that the control of Google depends on whether Firefox could find alternative founding or not.

Yeah. But those often don't take your soul.

I think you'd be surprised what normies do when it comes to technology. They are more intelligent than you give credit.

https://increditools.com/ad-blockers/

I think survey results showing 40% using ad-blockers is sufficient to question your assertion that most people don't know about ad-blockers. Folks may not all be using them, but I think a majority certainly are aware. And outside the U.S., even a majority use them in some countries.

Ordinary folks on the Internet have friends and family that are technically inclined and often seek advice from them. But most of the time, ordinary folks figure things out just fine in their own.
"It’s not just a name change"

He's selling vaporware again. So far, "X" is just a name change, and a very incomplete one, at that. And it's a terrible name unsearchable in Google, and protected by thousands of existing trademark registrations of brands consisting of X or containing X.

The fact no one stopped him in doing this means Twitter won't get better. The only path is down.
My memory on this is rusty but I recall fat being usable as fuel by the body after being converted to ketones.
Little to no noise, simple design, reminds me of the old internet. Pretty much what others have stated in this thread. A lot of people here long for the old internet, and with good reason because it was such a different experience to the current state of things.

I'm sort of fascinated by the resilience of the Django admin. It's nearly 20 years old at this point and really hasn't changed too much since I first used it in 2007. I've always thought it was a good example of what having a strong designer early in your project life-cycle can do.
This is a mistaken view. The closest thing I have to social media is HN. I did get a twitter account in the beginning and I was waiting for the right moment to tweet but it seems to have passed.

The above is true only to the extent that you believe it. I don't believe it at all so I'm not part of the "you" I'm an "other".

The "News" is a whole other problem closer to truth. So not technical entirely. Individuals started newspapers and individual will deliver the news.

A big issue corporations currently face is that everything has become so cheap that their scale of effort is a hindrance.

If a corporation is not acting ruthlessly efficient the economy of scale breaks down quickly. The crux of this will cause the success of many smaller scale efforts that don't hold the overhead of a corporation.

The original promise of the public internet was the idea that broadcasting was dead and narrowcasting was the wave of the future. This was true up until ads became legal/common on the internet.

Take away the commercial interest and you are left with passionate publishers and audiences.
I don't want to sound dismissive but this isn't a very deep topic. When people aren't at work they typically pursue their interests and hobbies and find purpose in those. This has been true throughout history.

Yes! I also get irritable, just forgot until you mentioned it. I wonder if it's the theanine.
I’ve very much enjoyed their libraries (though not their monorepo changelogs) in building our RN app. Seems like from the comments the situation we found ourselves in where “bare” react-native was the only option is the best way to interact with the ecosystem from the outset.
> I’m not sure my personal repository is the best place to do that - we are looking for a better forum and will update when we have found one.

I'm curious what "better forum," if any, Google will actually engage with on this matter. I too wouldn't this sort of overwhelming reaction to happen in a personal repository. But the conversation needs to happen somewhere!
I didn't describe a mental model difference, but an actual factual difference in how it works. You can't add more types to a sum type, without modifying the sum type, which is a deal breaker for this use.

Unpopular opinion.

The uncorrelated example should have been rewritten with a CTE and should have been aliased as 'article_max_price' as if it was a computed property and where price = amp.price
I wonder how future historians are going to look back at this. The vast majority of people letting themselves be forced into wasting a portion of their lives on adds make me pessimistic for the survival of this race. Might seem like hyperbole, but I'm not talking about ads anymore, I'm talking about submissiveness.
> Make browsing the internet possible only on Chrome, Safari or Edge (with no modifications or extensions). No competition allowed in browsers

Forgive my stupidity, but isn't this only going to be the case for websites that will opt into the use of this api? Currently, websites can already do user agent sniffing, or hide their content behind a login wall; but we are not complaining that this is the end of the web. Or are we?
It's not that they're common, but at the fringe of the distribution the large "full size" US v8 powered things (Ram, Suburban, Full sized 80's Van, _not_ large EU style SUVs like the Volvo, X5, Range Rover, etc) were noticeably more common in NL than elsewhere.

The more relevant question is which GPU is the OP using? The only officially ROCm supported GPU available for retail purchase is the RDNA2-based Radeon Pro W6800. [1]

In practice it probably means that gfx1030 (Navi 21) GPUs should work (RX6800-RX6950), but again, it also means also those cards (and every other card that AMD currently sells to individuals) is "unsupported."

> The only reason Firefox exists is because Google wants something they can point to in court and say "look! we're not a monopoly!"

A competitor that survives at the charity of a monopoly is evidence of a monopoly, not evidence of the opposite. A court might see a non-profit that is directly dependent on Google for ongoing operating cash very differently that how it saw Gates' one-time personal investment in Apple.
Napster launched in 1999, The Pirate Bay launched in 2003, Spotify only launched internationally in 2010 / 2011. There's been a decade without proper legal options to get music.

Buying CDs wasn't a reasonable choice anymore in the digital age, CDs were outdated and not fit in the age where people could buy portable mp3 players.

The music industry was beyond late, they were a full decade late to the party and paid the price for it.

It was the same for movies for even a longer time until Netflix caught up, personally I couldn't buy the movies or series I wanted at the time, it wasn't available anywhere.

Do Channels on Nebula count? Since Nebula is paid only, ads free and creator owned (as far as I understand), it might be the one prime example of a video platform not incentivized to restrict access to only consumers using proprietary, big tech OSes.
People get mad at Google for implementing something Apple already implemented up to a point, that the economic driving force behind the free internet is asking for.

It's a shit idea but honestly Google isn't even the bad guy here. Everyone is mad at the theoretical anti-adblock usage of theoretical websites. Be mad at those websites instead!

Almost every free service out there runs on ads. If you pay your subscriptions, you probably won't even notice these shitty websites. There is exactly one group of people who will be hit the worst, and that's people who want everything for free with no ads and no requirement to provide anything of value in return. Guess what? No business can operate like that!

Google is in some very deep shit if the alleged ad fraud stories are true. They need to be able to verify that people are human or they will collapse under lawsuits.

We wouldn't need this crap if we, as a society, hadn't decided that we want everything for cheap or for free. Remote attestation can actually be valuable (i.e. for company owned devices entering a corporate intranet) but the fact everyone fears getting locked out of everything is a symptom of a much bigger problem with the internet today, one we're probably not willing to face.

I'm all for killing the big tech giants and bringing back competition, but Google quickly going bankrupt will be disastrous. Youtube and about fifteen years of human existence will disappear from the internet, billions of phones will stop receiving updates, gmail.com will disappear and businesses all over the world will be ruined as a result.

Even if this falls through, Google will still need to validate real browsers somehow. Expect CAPTCHAs for every news article instead. Maybe solve some puzzles before you can comment. This is their user friendly, unobtrusive attempt to get this tech through; if it fails, I expect their next attempt to be much worse. The web may very well end up being like browsing through Tor.

That's not true at all. Typeclasses solve this exact problem very elegantly in (P)FP languages. In other languages there are sometimes similar solutions (such as object algebras[1] in Java) but it is more tricky and usually less orgonomic or impossible to do while keeping things typesafe.

Same here, been using DDG for several years now and have not had any issues. I have tried switching to google a few times when im not finding what i need, but get turned off by their recommendations as well as just bad search results. I remember it took be a few weeks to get used DDG when i first switched. In a way it felt like going back to how search used to work, more keyword based, less trying to guess my life story to try to figure out what i really want.
That's good to know, honestly surprised to read that NT had that many. I'd figured early versions wouldn't require that many people. Now knowing the Fuchsia numbers, I don't know if that's a signal to how productive the team is or if they dwindling resources.
Netlify allows users to register domains on their platform.

Wonder if suspended users have a way to transfer their domains to a different registrar.

It seems one should use a registrar whose primary business is selling domains, and host their content elsewhere.
VPNs are barely gonna make a dent in their income. What do you think the market is for VPNs? 99% of people don't know what VPN means.

Of the remaining 1%, most don't need a VPN for anything personal. It's literally just a handful of geeks who need VPN (mainly for secure piracy, or accessing different regional Netflix catalogs), and maybe a few dozen journalists living in dictatorships.

Mozilla needs to gut spending. Get rid of all the diversity /hr/evangelism people bloating their employee headcount and funneling people's donations to divisive causes like that org that doesn't hire white men (forgot the name but it made me cancel my monthly donation to Mozilla). They shouldn't need more than 25% non-technical staff, and the purpose of those 25% should be exclusively to support the technical staff. Instead they became another bloated Big NGO that's basically welfare for liberal arts majors in California.
In that vein, there was "An Incomplete Education" [1].

It's roughly what you'd get if you asked a class of seniors a week before their graduation to write a few paragraphs on every topic they covered in college. Not a serious source, but enough to whet deeper interest or start a conversation.
