I think you’re giving yourself quite a bit too much credit there. Most of this discussion you’ve been trying to argue about regex. We can drop it up to a higher level, sure, but you seem to only want to do that to avoid conceding in the specifics.

As I’ve quite clearly said, regex is a good DSL - so I obviously do think, and have argued above, that there is a split between “good” and “bad” DSLs, but examples of good ones are vanishingly scarce.

I think, given that it’s your position that DSLs are generally good; or at least that there are many examples that you find fine, then it’s upon you to provide examples. So far you named Makefiles, which are hilariously bad, but your response to my comments on it was basically some lazy ad-hominem, so I don’t hold out hope for any actual intelligent analysis.

But as I have outlined above there is a giant chasm of difference between mathematically-backed deep and broad DSLs, and… some ad-hoc commercialware that iterates towards being a full language but with bad, ad-hoc design and worse tooling.
The original Settlers 1 game, released in 1993, had ingenious copy protection built in. It had multiple levels of copy protection, that would activate, if the copy protection was attempted circumvented, i.e. cracked. It would not let you complete levels due to some characters missing/never appearing and the likes, if you used a cracked version of the game. Much like you describe with GTA IV, users thought this was a buggy game, while in reality it was a buggy crack.

> I’ve always been happiest working for managers that were politically savvy and had “juice”.

Never even considered that until this moment. But now that I am thinking in retrospect about the previous teams I worked on, it rings 100% true. Even when the manager's manager wasn't super into the manager, as long as the manager was savvy and had "juice", it was always enjoyable work, and things (such as actual progress on deliverables, good decisions, etc.) always happened. I just could never pinpoint until now why those specific times felt the best.

Ironically, the only time I had an absolutely incompetent manager and a pretty savvy and great manager's manager, it was awful. The only saving grace was that the manager's manager eventually moved the manager into a different role in a different part of the org after an explosive argument. But that stretch was probably the most standstill and stagnated period of my career.
Mercedes also had the brilliant idea of sending me updates to their user agreements, around once every 2-3 months. It is 40 pages, and they didn't include a changelog. Yeah, there is nothing I'd like to do more with my expensive car than to read a 40 page legal document every quarter to see if I can, morally, still drive it.

I replied to one, and they actually started stating the changes a few months later. I was probably not the only one thinking "perhaps you should think this one through just a tad more."

> Guess which expenses impacts most prices, the most? Did you guess trucking?

How much of that is the cost of the driver though?
Just as smart people agree that the manufacturer knows nothing about the situation at the appliance, and a forced update mechanism a la the first iteration of Windows forced updated ("update's here, restarting, too bad you're currently doing important stuff that won't be saved") is a stupid idea and outside of private use often a non-starter. That kind of condescension is generally only something you can do to private tech users.

Though I guess making the experience frustrating could keep more people from needlessly connecting everything to the network because it sound futuristic...
Do the first. Both are solutions I'm personally having trouble with, but the first is the one that I immediately want to throw my money at.

Pricing is a bit weird though. $20 is extremely cheap for unlimited, extremely expensive for a prototype.

Chatlango sounds like something you might not even have expertise in. It doesn't have the languages I want (Arabic, Indonesian).

> Google News is tiny and irrelevant - that's not what the law is about.

According to SimilarWeb, Google News ranks #114 globally (all websites), and #7 in the News category.

https://www.similarweb.com/website/news.google.com/#overview

It is much larger than WAPO, and not far behind NYT. Which makes it significantly larger than any news provider anywhere else in the world.

So maybe I'm weird but that hardly seems "tiny and irrelevant".

> do you really think that if you do a web search, and one of the results goes to a newspaper, then the newspaper should get paid? And none of the other links?

From the context, I doubt that you're arguing that everyone should get paid, so I'm not sure what your point is, because I don't see why they shouldn't.

If you do a web search and one of the results goes to a newspaper, and you click the result, then the newspaper can monetise that. I don't have a problem with that.

If you do a web search and it presents enough information that the user can answer their question without clicking, well, that's an interesting problem. The answer would not exist if not for the provider, yet the search engine makes money and the provider of the result does not. This is particularly true when the search engine pops up a news box as a result.

So if a search result provides useful information to a user, and the search engine makes money from providing that answer despite it being sourced from elsewhere - why shouldn't the source of that information be compensated?

As I said above, this law may be clumsy - it might not even be possible - but my objection is to the lazy rhetoric surrounding the issue, which is still bullshit.
Not quite. I never used flags to hide unfinished code. I left that on a branch. Feature flags are used to rollout production-ready features.

This just seems like taking trunk-based development to an unnecessary extreme.
No, that is not my (or most people's) complaint about Electron. The main complaint is that Electron is slow, and takes up obscene amounts of memory. RAM, not ROM, is the issue.

In contrast, I can have native performance via WASM, even if the binary size is large (it will get smaller over time, but even then, most people don't really care about binary size, they care about speed).

They weren't the first ones to come up with the idea though: there is at least one music player (which I only heard of a few days ago thanks to another thread here) called UADE (http://zakalwe.fi/uade/uade.html) which runs UAE (an Amiga emulator) in the background, with the emulator running Eagleplayer (the "most comprehensive soundplayer for the Amiga"). I wonder how Bintracker gets around the requirement of having to write native code that actually plays the music on all the various platforms? But I guess that a stub that just "pipes" the data through to the emulated sound hardware is relatively easy to write.
Maybe.

Also possible they might actually laugh and counter with their own upside to being leg incomplete joke and welcome you for not looking away like so many others do.

>Why is it relevant whether the traffic is human or automated?

because all traffic costs for the service provider, but the automated traffic can be run at thousands of users cheaper than it is to run one human user (who after all is bounded by time and cost of computation and bandwidth) whereas the automated is not bound by time, giving them the opportunity to DOS you - either on purpose or just accidentally.
> Those aren't topics.

Don't worry, they'll keep the first version mild, and in a few years they'll update it with more granularity.

> The real thing you should be worried about is third party cookies. They don't have any of these privacy features that topics has and they can collect a lot more data. Both of your examples are possible with third party cookies, but not with topics. Google is trying to phase out 3rd party cookies sometime next year.

This is basically saying "we'll screw you over, but that's ok because we promise to stop screwing you over this other way". It only shows how massive their conflict of interest is.

If chrome was developed by some honest, unrelated company, they would not include this kind of spyware (because it doesn't benefit the user[1]), and also try to block 3rd party cookies.

[1] I guess they could optionally include it if users would prefer seeing more personalized ads, but it would be something opt-in that doesn't try to trick you into enabling it, like Chrome does. But realistically they wouldn't even bother to develop something like this.
I am most likely misunderstanding this, but why can't you just use browser automation to then generate the turnstile token? For example, just use Playwright/Selenium/Phantom to generate the token and then use that in an API call?

Pages 8 & 9 of the full report have the details of what happened.

> … it was found to have encountered an extremely rare set of circumstances presented by a flight plan that included two identically named, but separate waypoint markers outside of UK airspace.

> This led to a ‘critical exception’ whereby both the primary system and its backup entered a fail-safe mode. The report details how, in these circumstances, the system could not reject the flight plan without a clear understanding of what possible impact it may have had. Nor could it be allowed through and risk presenting air traffic controllers with incorrect safety critical information.

A flight plan came in that had a duplicated waypoint ID at either end of the route. The flight-plan software, when trying to extract the UK portion of an overflight (origin & destination outside UK airspace), ended up focusing on both of those (identically-named but geographically-distinct) waypoints. Software thought they were duplicates, couldn't figure out what the UK portion of the flight plan was, and intentionally crashed. It did so, rather than reject the flight plan for an aircraft that may already be in the air.

A simple timer that switches off after a couple of hours would do. The timer could reset every time the oven door is opened. This should solve most issues. Long cooking could have a bypass button or somethong (if the door open reset is not enough).

That sounded like a great idea at first. But the proposal is actually taxing higher wages:

> The government might also consider a measure that would directly operate to bring inflation expectations down without necessitating a rise in unemployment. This would be a tax on inflation. For example, they might announce a baseline reference level of the growth of average hourly earnings over the next year of 3 per cent. They could then implement a tax whereby each firm who grants a wage increase above 3 per cent would be required to pay a 100 per cent tax on the excess.

No... that's not the problem. Demands for higher wages are a downstream effect of windfall profits. The excessive profits should be taxed to hell.
> Home ownership of UK is one of the lowest in EU.

Not really.

Its about on par with France and significantly above Germany.
Same in Germany. I have relatively unspecific, but serious medical problems, and while I do receive standard GP and surgeon care, I've been waiting for months to see specialists regarding the underlying causes. Best guess of multiple doctors is to take antibiotics, which at this point seems like the medical professions "have you tried turning it off and on again?".
In my experience that's not really the reality. Career progression is a game, each big org has their set of rules for it, the people I've seen progress fastest are usually the ones who figured out the game, how to tick the right boxes, how to show to the decision-makers that the boxes were ticked, not necessarily by being absolutely reliable or having a big impact.

Usually they jump into the projects that have more visibility or hype, focus their work on the aspects the org considers most valuable for the "next step in the ladder" and jump ship to a different team/project/department as soon as possible.

I've seen that both on engineering and product sides, most of the people I worked with that progressed quickly in their career weren't actually reliable, at least not reliable to the people they worked closely with: they jumped ship to other teams/parts of the org as soon as possible, leaving just a trail of half-done initiatives that were just good enough to tick the boxes needed for a promotion.

Doing a good job is secondary to this, sometimes doing a good job aligns with the box-ticking, sometimes it doesn't really matter. If you are decent at salesmanship and persuasion, and can get some visibility from the upper echelons the actual delivery will only matter in 1-2 years, by then they're already out and up.

Counterpoint it is a worse copy of Apples San Francisco. Made by very determined but not very experienced typographer. It started by taking Roboto and redrawing/morphing San Francisco over Roboto. This leads to lots of inconsistencies (something that got better over time especially with outside contributions) and it wont get you much respect with type community.

Not to say its not better UI typeface than most (especially open source ones). Or that creating such typeface is not time consuming. I often use it too. I am just trying to point out that the why it works so well for UI should be attributed mostly to team behind San Francisco.
That analysis ignores people who get trained but just don’t want to do the job for whatever amount of money. They’d be happy to take less money just to not do the job.

The fact that he's in Russia is 100% on Russia. If you think the Russians care about Snowden's travel documents, you don't know anything about Russia.
Of course it is relevant, it is what this thread is discussing.

Users rejected them because they were slow, bloated, and didn't play nice with a lot of things. Fast-forward to 2023, and users have embraced mobile apps (and not mobile web/PWA crap that we're told is about to get just as good as apps any time now).

'So you are not honest, self sensoring and betray science.' ... is a giveaway. You haven't read or understood what the author saying.

The market is due for a correction after decades of outsourcing and undercut goods. Convenience came on really fast and now our expectations for the true costs of things have been completely skewed.

The conclusion of the article you referenced is the opposite:

"Greenwald is not, as many of his critics lazily allege, a Russian agent; that would imply that his motivation is pecuniary rather than heartfelt. Greenwald remains what he has always been: a sincere enemy of liberal democracy and a genuine lickspittle for tyrants."

Glenn Greenwald is a real liberal democrat and fights for free speech. He even left "The Intercept" when they suppressed inconvenient facts.

Its not just social media.

I can't count the number of cheesy, narcissistic/artistic films I've seen centred around New York/Paris/London where people's accents are overblown beyond credibility and the main protagonist is exceedingly rich to live out the life that they do... but is unaware of their exceeding wealth and is therefore unable to communicate that to the audience.

As a decent earner, I cannot find myself relating to these characters in these settings since its like watching a millionaire discussing their financial problems.... but my girlfriend and her friends all seem to love and relate to the characters and the depicted "normal" lifestyle, despite sharing nothing in common.

I'd guess anecdotally the driver shortage is real, given that I know three truck drivers, one of which is long haul, and is on track to retire in his 40's, the others are making quite good money after both jumping from company to company every few years since they started.

You don't see massive wage increases if you don't need additional talent afterall.

The downside is, if you can't fill your need for socialization, it's a very lonely life, and really isn't for everyone. That alone explains the shortage handily in my book.

Not exactly the same as I understand. Amazon were providing Elasticsearch as a service with nothing in return. Fair enough. Although there did seem to be some issues about alleged ripping off code and trademark infringement.
