> Teenagers have long balked at telling parents where they are.

Parents and kids are much less adversarial than they once seemed to be.

Add in both increased societal acceptance of certain activities (sex, drugs, and drinking) as well as enormous reductions in those activities among teenagers and you get happy life integrations and life support such as this, rather than your parents wondering whether you are in an unpleasant situation and you wondering how to get out of it.

1. Shopify just admitted gross negligence in issuing 52 strikes.

If it were Shopify's tail on the line, they would build automated tools to do things like compare all images posted on their site to those found online - there are search engines to do this. Then they would consider those results when looking into a DMCA notice.

2. Good for Shopify for suing these fraudsters.

I wish we had been successful in going after fraudster and US Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison who shut down everyone who ran against her with phony DMCA notices.

I used to share your opinions, until I sat at the other end of the table and interviewed candidates. The problem is that people lie constantly about their credentials, experience and knowledge. They lie on their resumes, they make up fake references (sometimes going so far as to pay their friends to lie for them), they might even have someone create fake portfolio websites for them and showcase those as their own. There will never be a way to detect such deception without asking candidates basic questions as a way to at least "smoke test".

What's truly crazy is that I see Facebook groups for home canning regularly suggesting people do unsafe things, like water bath canning of low-acid food, things that are well known to cause botulism. Please, please follow recipes from good sources, like these university centers. You can do a lot of things at home, with modest equipment, but there are a lot of seemingly safe things that are actually very unsafe.

Candida are all yeasts.

Candida albicans is just a type of yeast that grows in the human gut and is one of the common causes of thrush (i.e. a yeast infection).

So it's uh pretty much everywhere.
I learned to program at the dawn of the PC age when memory was measured in KB and CPUs in MHz; so I learned to write fast, efficient code because that was a basic requirement. Modern CPUs, super fast memory, and Gen 5 SSDs can certainly mask inefficiencies in poorly written code; but data can always expand enough to bring even supercomputers to their knees.

My expertise was centered around data management; particularly file systems. So when hard drives got big enough to hold more than 100 million files; I realized that the decades-old file system architectures could no longer handle them efficiently enough for my taste. So I set out to build a better type of file system (a data object store).

I spent weeks (sometimes months) fine tuning algorithms and code paths to make it as efficient as possible. I regularly ran my code on old, outdated hardware to make sure it ran fast in low-resource environments. I tried to take advantage of parallel processing and every other trick I could think of.

But it seemed that no matter how much faster I could make the code run; I had trouble getting any potential users to care about that aspect of the code. I could make it 10x faster than their existing solution; but if it was missing even one feature their old one supported, they would reject it even if that feature was not that important.

The code was especially efficient at handling unstructured data (since that was its primary purpose), but the metadata management features I built in turned out to be extremely efficient at managing structured data as well. When I started benchmarking it against major databases it was performing very well (e.g. see it compared to SQLite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va5ZqfwQXWI). Still, it has been very slow to attract attention in spite of its speed.

We can complain about slow, buggy software all day; but we will be stuck with bloated, inefficient code if we don't put our money where our mouth is and support code bases that focus on small, fast code.

I think a more nuanced take on this is that very few companies need top quality, but nobody wants bottom quality.

Top-end devs make a name for themselves and don't really have to worry about hiring. Companies compete for them with crazy high offers.

Bottom-end devs try to make up for their lack of experience or skill by "hacking" the application or interview process somehow.

In between, "good enough" devs power the world's bog-standard apps. They're not going to win any awards or lead any talks, but they can do the jobs well enough to make the company money. They know they aren't top-end and can't just say "I'm quitting, who's hiring?" on twitter, but they are also competing with the hordes of less-skilled devs because there's no easy way to tell them apart.

I've never heard of "credentialism", but why doesn't it work in this instance, when it does for doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc.?
My post was in response to this:

> > Rural living, outside those with careers in agriculture, is not scalable or sustainable.

It was an attempt to explain how rural living is not scalable or sustainable. Maybe you do understand how unsustainable carbon emissions are, especially in terms of the rural versus urban footprint. I don't know.
> Here, the researchers show that the Ab-like peptides also can be generated from a different source – C. albicans. This common fungus, which has been detected in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease and other chronic neurodegenerative disorders, has its own set of proteases that can generate the same Ab-like peptides the brain can generate endogenously.

I love hearing the "what", but would also appreciate some speculation on the "why". Does this fungus somehow thrive better because of some underlying issue? Is some natural process that usually would clean up these Ab-like peptides being suppressed?
If the fruit were very unripe, when it has a green rind... I would still call it an orange, not a "green".

It was the name of the fruit before it was the color of the fruit, if I'm not mistaken. Though, I suppose I'm only speculating there. It may have been awhile since I've eaten one, and I prefer the purple Moros anyway, but they've always seemed to be rather orange to me. Quite distinct from the flesh of a lemon, for instance.

I looked into switching to yarn for the first time earlier this year, since I was having minor multi-platform issues with npm and was pretty sure yarn could fix them. Since the docs seemed to make PnP/Zero Install the "blessed path," I tried to go with that. I quickly became confused at the correct way to configure certain aspects for my org in conjunction with our build pipelines, decided it was way too much unnecessary complexity to teach to my org, and kept our npm setup.

It’s not possible for everyone to know everything. Almost no one knows how to fix their <insert technology here, cars for example>, but at some point in history the opposite was true. Abstractions make technology available to the masses.

However, too much abstraction, on a long enough timeline, where does it end? The blob-humans in Wall-E, where no one knows anything and everything is done for us?

I’ve definitely felt in the last ~10 years of my career that the tools and libraries I use in development contain “too much magic”.
Statement from the owner of KiwiFarms from the telegram group, slightly censored:

>The courts of Australia have determined that a person I know is personally liable for over $400,000 in defamatory damages to Liz Fong-Jones.

>Vincent is Australian. He owns a company called Flow Chemical Pty Ltd in Australia. The Australian RIR, APNIC, leases him a few IP addresses. Those IPs have been used by my American company 1776 Solutions, LLC to host various web services. Among those services has, at various times, been the Kiwi Farms, a website of Lolcow, LLC in the US. Kiwi Farms hosts comments from users all over the world.

>Victoria courts have determined that both his company and _him as a person_ are liable for close to half a million dollars in damages for statements made by anonymous users on a web forum owned by a company hosted by a company leasing IP space from his company, regardless of their truth or accuracy. This judgement was made in default in his absence because apparently he felt the entire thing was stupid and would be thrown out without him doing anything.

>This loss amounts to nothing for me. I have not been able to reliably use these IP addresses in over a year because Liz Fong-Jones has been harassing any ISP they route through. I also have no stake in Flow Chemical Pty Ltd, so I am not at risk. I can just get new ones at any time in the US.

Planting trees can certainly do a lot, but it is insufficient. If you went all in on "nature based" solutions, it gets you to around 15-20% of needed reductions. This would require a global reshaping of land use policy.

Someone could make Google more responsive by publishing a guide on how to sue Google while representing yourself.

Some basic information about court procedure and submissions, and a guide to the relevant law, such as defamation, would let a thousand litigants bloom, and Google would soon have a very real problem on their hands.

Most likely you'd get Google's attention at the first step, and a probably solution.

Where we probably agree:

I would agree that it is the commitment that matters.

Where we may agree:

Social norms really do impact human behavior. Marriage is a social norm supporting long term commitment. In communities where it has been replaced with another social norm supporting commitment (eg my well-off friends in Europe), it has become less relevant.

I also posit that adults in committed coparenting relationships constitute a small minority of unmarried adults in America (vs. France for example where a majority of my friends with kids match your description).

Where we probably disagree:

In my observations of close friends in loving relationships with children, previously in loving marriages, are now divorced and in respectful and functional coparenting but not cohabitating relationships.

For a considerable amount of time, they are functionally single parents. In most cases parents and siblings of one ex-spouse are unlikely to want to support the other ex-spouse with in-person child support.

The bright exception to this rule seems to be divorced co-parents who live in close proximity or in one instance in the same duplex and are good friends.
Not to pick on you—this is something I and most other engineers also struggle with—but I think this sums up the reason for most of the complaints in this thread. That is: builders who prioritize marketing outcompete those who prioritize engineering quality.

Making something people want enough to pay for is very difficult; if you are trying to do that while also imposing a bunch of other constraints on yourself that have no clear marketing benefits, your odds of success go down a lot.

Engineering excellence can sometimes be used successfully as a form of marketing in itself and you could well pull this off, as your content is super engaging and well-written.

But I would suggest to every engineer to consider Chesterton’s fence. Why is all the winning software in every category slow and bloated and seemingly unconcerned with engineering excellence? Is it because everyone involved, the engineers that build it and the customers that buy it, are all technical philistine morons? Or is it because the products that win in the market prioritize… winning in the market, and all their competitors that don’t prioritize that for whatever reason fall by the wayside?
> Toyotas are always cheaper than the alternative

From my last time shopping they weren't the cheaper at purchase time, but I do agree that they're reliable and I haven't spent a lot of money for repair so far, and when I do the parts aren't very expensive nor difficult to find.

So I'd say the total cost of ownership is likely cheaper than the alternative, and they also hold their value well compared to other brands.
this seems exactly backwards. AI will make good software engineers even more productive, and of course like any new technology those who learn to use it best will see more lift than those who cannot, but I suspect we should expect to see that the better the software engineer, the better they will be at learning how to use AI
Do they provide wasm version to use in browser? (like duckdb-wasm)
> but also implies you can't encode ordinary ASCII text into base64.

I don't think it implies that at all.

Text isn't binary. Text can be encoded in binary, and there are different ways to do it. ASCII, UTF-8/16/32, latin-1, Shift-JIS, Windows-1252, etc. Many can't encode all text characters, especially languages that don't use the Latin alphabet.

The fact that you have to ensure you're using the correct encoding when processing text from a binary stream is proof enough that text isn't binary. Python before 3.x allowed you to treat binary and text as equal, and it often caused problems.
FWIW, the embedded domain usually has a little more focus on efficiency and correctness compared to enterprise software.

> Ops is not peripheral to the job, ops is an essential part of the job.

I am 100% with you on this point. Ops is treated as a cost center vs a core feature. This means it is often a chore to maintain and the first thing to get scrutinized when it comes to budget.

> I advocate to stop splitting the job of dev and ops into separate roles and doing the devops practices for everybody. We lose theorized competitive advantage but gain flexibility and more well-rounded skill sets so we really can call ourselves software engineers.

You lost me here however. Software engineers often do not want to think about the Ops problem their code will create over time. Either they do not have the skills to know what they don't know or they are being pushed by the business to work on "business value" over sharpening the Ops axe so their current code runs well for the best possible price.

Growing those skills are either not a priority for them personally (not a dig at all, I think it is totally fine for people to have personal limits on what they want to learn) or a priority for the business so they can't learn how to do things better. This is why you are seeing a boom of making PaaS the thing that is used to deploy software which is super expensive for what it is, limited in features, and limited in choice when you want to move to a new provider.

I am all for making Ops easier for everyone to consume, but in the end, if you don't understand the fundamentals of the underlying plumbing you are going to have sub-optimal results. To use your residential plumber analogy, of course you can fix your plumbing yourself, but having an expert plumber do the job not only saves time but often money in the long run. That's why you hire them. Expecting every home owner to have the time to grow the skills to be a functional plumber is unreasonable. Why do we as an Industry allow the C suite to expect developers to be functional operators? They took the "DevOps" movement and used it to shove all the responsibility onto developers to cut FTE count on the SysAdmin/Systems Eng side of the house.

The tech industry has devalued Systems Administration and Systems Engineering in a race to bottom in order to cut costs in the short term and that's why we pay out the nose for Cloud Services that are used by non experts to create over engineered setups.

It might be that Americans want XXXL vehicles but most of us can't afford them. This is why the Ford Maverick

It goes from -2147483648 to 2147483647 for me, which I'm interpreting as "our langauge doesn't distinguish signed from unsigned integers, and nor do our developers". Possibly there's also some lack of validation of client-side data involved.
> "Build your own website" "Build your own payment processor" "Build your own hosting system" "Build your own DDOS protection" "Build your own IP system"

Yea, these are all private companies/actors and it turns out that as you have more and more reprehensible behavior then more and more groups no longer want to do business with you.

As a question for all the free speech absolutists who come out crying whenever some group doing absolutely shit behavior like this gets “silenced” via private groups dropping them as a client, what is your solution to letting them still project their voice on private property without infringing on the property owners rights?

The only solution I can see would be for the government to nationalize these “public squares” so that they are actually public and have the normal free speech protections(per your specific nations view of free speech). The problem there is that the group of free speech absolutists and the group of people who have a stroke at the idea of the government controlling any sort of infrastructure like these seem like a Venn diagram.

I also understand this was a government action in the article but I am replying to a comment referencing private property in terms of “build your own X”
