Patent claims are also written broadly, deliberately by the lawyers. There's a whole part of every trial where "claim construction" takes place, and I personally helped with many of those briefs when in Google Legal.

The briefs never argue "what the inventor intended." They argue about what the claims and the spec says and what those words mean. That can, indeed, leave room for argument, and that's why both sides write briefs.

"Courts interpreting laws" are the same way -- what legislators thought they were voting for is irrelevant, let alone what they would think today.

That's what "rule of law" means: a citizen can determine what's legal and what isn't.

While your statement, put that generally, is certainly true, i wonder if you're familiar with leftism in Germany or in Europe in general (honest question). Antiracism and Antifascism are almost part of the core DNA of many of these circles or at least their self-perception. Doesn't mean that they necessarily live up it, of course. However, the term "left" means something quite different in Europe than compared to the popular usage of that term in the US where, i believe, a large chunk of the audience here is based.
> aka i do this then i will be happy, i achieve this, i become better at sport, i run a marathon under X etc, and i will be happy... when i put it like this, doesn't it start to sound silly as a concept? that was the only point i tried to make

This is still too narrowed down, you can just "want to run a marathon", not with a specific time in mind, you just feel like you want to try that. It's quite impossible you only stumble upon doing things without having a want, all of your examples can be a much simpler want: "I want to run", whatever the motivation "I think it'll make me happy", "I feel it might improve my physical fitness", "I just want to try". Those are all wants, not goal-oriented, you simply want to do things.

I can't see how someone can live without wants, even just doing things the way you like to approach them and described here:

> where i found joy and happiness is in doing "good deeds" - try helping someone, make them smile, make their day better and see how will that make you feel, similarly in my professional life - i decided to focus only on what i enjoy and that is solving problems, the harder the challenge the better it makes me feel - the thrill that we are onto something and once one challenge is done i move to another and i feel again alive - that i have a purpose and couldn't possibly be more helpful / create more "good" in any other way

Are wants. You want to do good deeds, you want to solve problems, you live by wants.

Piano keys are weighted, this is to standardize as much as possible the downward force required to produce a sound. The lower keys are typically weighted heavier. You can have light grands and heavy uprights, it all depends on regulation and construction details but typically not all that much on the hammers, though the big factor is that the gravity assist allows for faster repetitation (as well as the double escapement, but that is because it can catch the key closer to the string so the next (and further) stroke requires far less movement and time).

I dont get your second point. Two things can be harmful to the open web at once. CloudFlare is definitely not taking the right approach at it, which damages the open web alongside botnets. Also, botnet owners are for some reason extraordinarily nerdy and smart so they probably will find a way to fool CF every other month. Its a cat and mouse game for them while actively harming everyone else both with their botnets and the increased aggressiveness of CF caused by their incorrect solution

There are all sorts of direct and indirect costs in something like this. Did they perhaps reuse an older design?

Yes, if it becomes a regulatory requirement. But it shouldn't.
Definitely a demand issue. Sure, there are secondary supply-side effects, but the simple truth is what we see today is what captures available demand. There is no other domain where you find that Americans are willing, en masse, to eat their vegetables before dessert. So the pro-wrestling flavor of televised news is going to crush anything more thoughtful slash less entertaining with relentless invariance.

To me, the only plausible shift to more fact-based and balanced coverage happens via subsidies -- the government has to insert itself into the market and put its thumb on the scale. This is unlikely to happen for the same reasons we make every other stupid choice as a citizenry. Also: picture the quality of leaders we vote into Congress and try to imagine them doing anything as high-minded as solving the problems of the news media fellating them half the time, and flogging them the remainder. (Literal extensions of the metaphor juxtaposed with contemporary congressional scandals are left as an exercise for the reader.)

Take $10B of annual spend out of the US budget. Which will never be missed. Fund a public network that only does news. The budget is something like 2-3X FOX News' top line; it's enough to hire real talent and smart leaders. Give the public network one KPI and a new line item: they fund an arm's length fact-checking service or some other form of objective evaluator to score them every day for remaining factual and balanced (and be clear when it's news and when it's opinion). I don't know that you can do 100% facts in the real world -- but can you be balanced, non-sensational, and transparent? The media did a yeoman-like job of fact-checking Trump every day -- apparently we can do this when it sells, so scoring truthfulness isn't impossible.

It seems stupid that we can't take a sub-rounding error of opex out of the budget and do something that would have this kind of positive societal leverage, so maybe I've got it wrong. Even if I don't, we're not smart enough to make something like this reality.

The statement by UK Monopoly and Restrictive Practices Commission seems to be inaccurate as the objective was an average lifespan of 1,000 hours, not "on average a minimum life of 1,000 hours" as bulbs that exceeded 1,000 hours were fined, as well as those lasting less.[1] That bulbs lasting longer than 1,000 hours were fined, regardless of their wattage used to lumens produced seems explainable only by a desire to restrict lifespans, and contrary to efficiency or minimum lifespans being the goal.

From [1], quoting Anton Phillips discussing members building higher voltage and longer lived bulbs,

“This, you will agree with me, is a very dangerous practice and is having a most detrimental influence on the total turnover of the Phoebus Parties…. After the very strenuous efforts we made to emerge from a period of long life lamps, it is of the greatest importance that we do not sink back into the same mire by paying no attention to voltages and supplying lamps that will have a very prolonged life.”

I don't think that's limited to just `var`, as a `let` outside of the `for` will do the same

let funcs = [];
;(() => {
let i;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
funcs.push(function() { console.log('i=',i); })
}
})()
for (let f of funcs) {
f.call(null);
}

(I used an IIFE to hide the "let i" from the .call to ensure it wasn't late binding to the name like the python example did)

I mean UPnP is a horrible spec but it’s a stop gap for restoring the fundamental capability of internet-connected devices in residential settings. All p2p apps (Tailscale for instance) need to act as a server temporarily and allow incoming traffic. Without the capability you’re a second class citizen, so to say. It’s infantilizing the user.

Now, you can of course open the ports yourself, but this is inaccessible to the vast majority of users due to undiscoverable, inconsistent and complicated UX. Most people don’t know what a port is.

Same here, and I also felt like I was missing out, since people were raving about it so much. But to me it really did feel like I had to slowly work on making any progress, and I mean "work" in its most tedious meaning.

Though, I wonder whether, had I played past a certain point where my evidence book would have had enough "critical mass" for things to fall into place more readily, it would have been more fun. Not sure it solves the pacing issue, though.

What it doesn't offer makes a significant chunk of content that people actually write and read inaccessible.

For example, the lack of simple text styling makes Gemini significantly less accessible than it could've been. Because now a screenreader will say something like "Significantly asterisk less asterisk accessible" instead of "Significantly emphasis less accessible".

I don't think images can have alt-text in Gemini so that blind users could get info from there.

For example, input:

Renderer -> Browser: BeginNavigation()
Browser -> Network: URLRequest()
Browser <- Network: URLResponse()
Renderer <- Browser: CommitNavigation()
Renderer -> Browser: DidCommitNavigation()

will output the following sequence diagram:

.--------. .-------. .-------.
|Renderer| |Browser| |Network|
'--------' '-------' '-------'

| BeginNavigation() | |
|-------------------->| |
| | |

I think it starts with passion - he created some useful software, he shares it and initially enjoy working on it. Then he puts a donate link (I saw there was a donate link in the previous site), and gets almost nothing, but he still needs to add bug fixes, maybe new features, answer to the user's emails, etc.

After a while it becomes a chore... and still getting $0 out of it. And that's when he might want to find other ways to get something out of the efforts he put in. Unfortunately the only option is to turn it into malware since nobody wants to pay for it, or turn it into a decent profitable business.

Skepticism of Google's commitment to anything is warranted although it's also worth keeping in mind that they do have some long lived developer oriented projects as well (Android & Android Studio, Angular, Dart, Go, V8 etc).

I can attest to that statement: comparing Spanner and CockroachDB is difficult. Spanner and Fauna (where I work) are more comparable (Fauna is based on Calvin, see [0]) since they both support strict serializability (in different ways). The article referenced here is excellent, and it highlights what we've seen from some customers: CockroachDB is (to say the least) a challenge to learn and adequately deploy, I've seen a few others that have a similar lessons-learned result. I'm glad, however, that highly consistent distributed databases provide value in these implementations. Although not OSS, Fauna is comparable and more turnkey (read: much less ops) than these options.

But also, some more modern sites with JSON API endpoints will have extremely bespoke session/auth/state management systems that make it difficult to create a request payload that will work without calculations done deep in the bowels of their client-side JS code. It can be much easier, if slower and more costly, to mimic a browser and listen to the equivalent of the Network tab, than to find out how to create valid payloads directly for the API endpoints.

This project might help people who want to use SQLite like Firebase, with a similar API and experience but without letting network requests increase latency (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31318708).

Addressing main points like implementing atomic transactions (read and write operation on a doc) seems warranted since it exists in Firebase as well.
