For a long time people said that deleting comments on social media wasn't censorship because it was done by private companies, and I agreed.

Now it is the state mandating censorship. Can we call a spade a spade?

Agreed. Unimpressed by netlify’s migration guide, which missed things like migrating headers, whether or not cms preview builds are offered, and whether or not there is incremental build support. It feels like a rushed document smothered in corporate platitudes and dns instructions.
You could take the wooden frame and paint it black maybe? And maybe pair the stand black as well, or use another stand from Amazon?

I can send you the disassembly instructions (email me at info@invisible-computers.com) and then you can disassemble it before painting.

Or if you want I can paint it for you, but I would have to charge a bit extra :)
I don't know that the cause of reduced fertility is prosperity. It might even be the other way around: as population growth decreases people have more because less people to split the wealth with. Our father's dug the gold from the ground and only had 1 child between them. It's probably a bit of both, when you're prosperous you have more to lose by feeding hungry babies.

But it most certainly doesn't balance out. Either a population grows or it shrinks, when a population grows it can produce more but there are more to feed, when it shrinks it ages, at first you have prosperity from that but eventually you wind up poor and old.

> Postwar European countries were almost all homogeneous

Where are you getting this from? From Spain through France to Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, with Belgium as the cherry on top, many countries in Europe had ethnic and religious minorities, sometimes quite significant ones, or flat out multiple main ethnic and religious groups (Belgium or Yugoslavia that had 4 main ethnic groups from 3 religions). Even Germany had two religious groups (Catholic and Protestant). Also it's exactly after WW2 that immigration from the colonies to France ramped up, both of pieds noirs (French people from the colonies getting expelled from the now independent countries) and not, with the associated building boom of new cities around Paris to have somewhat to house all the people.

Unless you're using "homogenous" as a racist dog whistle for skin colour, as if it matters, it's simply untrue.

> For a long time people said that deleting comments on social media wasn't censorship because it was done by private companies, and I agreed.

I feel like that is bad reasoning. If the state is a democratic one, wouldn't a democratically elected censor/moderator (pick your framing, it's the same thing) be better than one that is accountable only to investors?
I hope so, but have you seen the current state of Phoenix? LA? NYC?

Dave Farley is a good guy and the real deal not just a talking head - I worked with him at LMAX which is where he was working when he was writing the Continuous Delivery book and that place had agility and the highest standards of engineering I've ever seen as first class concerns in the business (I was the agile guy and Dave was Head of Development both reporting into the CTO, Martin Thompson of Disruptor fame).

LeSS from Craig Larman and Bas Vodde is definitely worth a look too.

I think that was partially his point - on 6502, typical-looking C code will be horrifically inefficient, at least when compared to other architectures more suitable for C.

For 6502, to get the optimum assembly you'd have to structure your data in structure-of-arrays instead of arrays-of-structures and use indices instead of pointers as much as possible (at least when amount of Ball objects would be < 256).
Obviously we need more cities. Yes please!

The implication isn't that the examples were manufactured. Rather, it is that once they had occurred, the subjects involved publicly shared the incidents with the express intent of self-promotion and not merely for emotional support — hence the term "pity marketing".

Go's design traces back to Oberon and Limbo, both fast to compile languages.

It isn't Google's experience, rather how the rest of the world lost touch with fast compile cycles with the uptake of C and C++.

There is a talk by Rob Pike where he mentions how fast the Algol compiler (punch card based) would go through his applications back in the day.

I see this as a win for accessibility, and a way to standardize many complex problems under the same umbrella. Would be interesting to find if they'd publish this, and it could lead to a way to fast-test the UX of many design iterations.

Currently, that process is slow, expensive and requires too many people involved to design, process and review the data.

> If they can be sent and stored on the users devices, the server would only be a discovery service processing the occasional "Hey, I have a new IP" and "Hey, I want to send a message to X, please give me their current IP" messages.

You can't just send messages directly to end user devices' IPs unless there's no firewall or NAT in front of them. Good luck forwarding a port on a mobile device.
I think this is because of FB/Meta. I would assume that they dont have massive financial restrictions from investors due to their data harvesting capability. Other apps like Telegram, however, might work harder to introduce money-making features.

> WebP is now officially supported everywhere

I wish, there is still occasionally some weird behavior, like when you take an image from Reddit that's a WebP file and try to past it into WhatsApp through the clipboard. It doesn't upload as a regular photo that you could add a comment to or edit it, but instead as a file, even without a proper thumbnail preview. Super annoying and I don't think that there are that many good reasons for this to be a thing.

Then again, if you don't care about use cases like that and just want to store images on you website, you can probably just pick what seems like the best option for your own needs. I'd go with JPEG or PNG just because they've been around forever, at least for as long as I don't have to worry about bandwidth too much.
Not recently, why?

If you only focus on sending messages, you will get huge scalability.

If you look at it, much of the problem was already solved at a fundamental level: kernel/network developers have been thinking about how to efficiently send messages since forever. Jabber devs had thought about certain problems on top of that as well.

Put those together and don't add anything, you should be able to send a huge number of messages. Keep in mind it's not latency sensitive either, people can live with getting their messages 1s or late and with significant jitter.

That's not to poop on the success of WhatsApp, I do think it's a good product. But it's a the product that enables the engineering to stay focused.

Did you get that phrase backwards? It's hard for me to see how [2] could be interpreted as being about "physicists with a contempt for mathematics"; it's actually about mathematicians with a contempt for physics.

Vladimir Arnold was a well-known pure mathematician with a deep interest in physics. If you read his math books (many of them are good), he constantly uses examples from physics to explain math concepts.
Interestingly if I were using AI to do this the place I would focus is testing. Coding assistants seem to be very good at generating run-of-the-mill testing, which would free up testers to focus on the once in a decade stuff.

I am currently working through Mr Farley's recent book Modern Software Engineering. I'm not finding many surprises in there, I might already have passing familiarity with what he's talking about. But my comment above about scientific method is based on what I have read so far.

This thread is about eye tracking. You went from talking about the congo for some reason to now shifting to "lithium takes a lot of water".

But I won't buy a SUV that weighs 2 tons to sit alone in it most of the time and have it parked 95% of the time in a garage.

What are you even talking about? This whole thread is about eye tracking.

We should strive to be sober, to buy repairable goods whenever possible, to educate ourselves on environmental impact of things, and perhaps more importantly to teach this to our children

Are you doing that?
Huh. I wrote a paper for my undergraduate dissertation on eye tracking using a laptop camera, and it ended up published and I won a scholarship award (for €150, imagine that). I wonder if it's time to dust off that project

Here in Spain we eliminated special classes for disabled children and put them in the normal classes.

The obvious result: everybody is worse off. Disabled children are not properly accommodated and the performance of the rest of children suffers because of everything going slower. And all the responsibility of dealing with the situation falls on the teachers, who aren't adequately equipped.

No need to be a nazi or anything to see why that's a bad idea. Of course, the left destroying public education is nothing new.

A fairly simple diagnostic test for a C64 is to touch the chips - if the machine is in working order the chips will be warm to the touch but not uncomfortably so. If any are uncomfortably warm odds are they've failed.

> Because it sounds intentional

To your ears, maybe. Another perfectly feasible explanation is that there were differences in the third-party component which fell foul of an update.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to use third-party components. I'm saying they shouldn't be surprised—or cry foul—when they break.
Or maybe NodeJS is just leveraged a lot for cases where this kind of performance isn't required.

If they wouldn't pay Mozilla, Firefox simply wouldn't exist - there would be no other browser where Google would have to buy the default search position. It would be one less problem for Google, if the goal of their payment would be really only to be the default search engine in Firefox. If that would be true, it would be silliest waste of money from them - worse than Google Glass.

I thought this was solved long time ago, I wrote a program many years ago using kinect that tracks the center of the eye pretty precisely, using color gradients.

For the last 30 years every dev job that could be offshored has been offshored.

Now there is an issue; the salaries in India have not caught up - but they have come up a lot. The infrastructures in India bit a lot of people hard in the arse over covid and a lot of credit was lost there. Also political issues are looming large for people doing offshoring. You might have been very optimistic about the dev shop you've opened in the Ukraine, but that was then.

It's still a true observation. I have never ever worked in a company that has had enough onshore devs to do the work that is urgent and of high value. Never. When that changes I'll be concerned about software salaries.
Getting 38k now is very different from getting 38k over a 100years.

It’s worth exactly as much as it states.

Investing this money now might be beaten by inflation, competition or happenstance. But it could also grow the business and turn into orders of magnitude more value.

I agree however that Wordpress does not have such a long term prospect.

As of now, it’s both falling behind and moving into wrong directions at the same time from a technical perspective:

It’s increasingly more complex and unstable for non-technical users.

It’s bloated, full of gotchas, very hard/finicky to integrate with standard PHP tooling and has comically bad performance. So it deters developers.

It won’t go away anytime soon. But I very much doubt that it will be as relatively popular in even 10y as it is now.
Yes they do. Roads last longer than 1 year.

Heck the annual budget for maintenance matches the current spend of building new roads on a yearly basis now: https://archive.curbed.com/2019/5/14/18622511/construction-h...

The main issue here is that even if you take current spending into consideration, it's not really equivalent because roads are not being repaired at a required rate currently; they're being underinvested in and permitted to fall into worse conditions.

I know very well of 20 people atleast who use Whatsapp a lot and nobody has had an issue with battery due to Whatsapp. You can try Netguard and disable Whatsapp networking to validate your battery hypothesis, but I doubt it is true. Business features are not in the app for normal users (Whatsapp Business is a different app), and I don't even know of a single business feature. Business chats to me are like normal chats. 163 MB is below normal these days on iOS AFAIK. I think both Signal and Element have similar sizes.
I believe the UI of Chrome is noticeably more snappy, which largely contributes to the feeling of it being speedier. The PR was about how their Javascript engine was faster, but I doubt that was what really made any difference for most people.

The Firefox suite was written in XUL, which is Electron-like but faster and especially tailored for desktop software. It's fast, but not as fast as native UI. Given the choice, almost everyone went with the speedier UI. At least that was my completely unscientific feeling back then. There's probably something to learn about UX here that very few people care about.

Harmful and hateful, as distinct from false. Even true information gets censored if someone decides it qualifies as either of those terms. Plus all the false positives, as social media gets penalized for accidentally leaving those up, but faces no consequences for over-censoring.

In practice they will outsource this to some "best practices" "private" (government approved) censor to avoid liability.
Small, close communities are communities where the bonds between each participant is much stronger, making it costlier - both in terms of immediately broken relationships, and of backlash from the rest of the group - for people to sever it.

Word gets around, but not necessarily from the right people, and - if bad outcomes are not guaranteed - there is nevertheless a strong incentive for it to fall on deaf ears, stronger than it would be in a less tight-knit community.
