Every time I hear "anonymous data", I think of that time AOL published anonymized search logs (for academic research). The anonymization was negligent, and an NYT reporter de-anonymized and tracked down one of the users with the local & personal info present in the search queries.

The OP doesn't make this absurd claim (search is how you discover things, it can't be the opposite)
Simply put, mass production. The cost (and value) of nearly all manufactured goods have dramatically fallen relative to average incomes. Consumers have access to a much wider range of goods with a much wider range of attributes. In the global west (and increasingly in middle-income Asia) we live in an age of abundance. I think it's overwhelmingly a positive thing that we no longer cherish the few possessions that we have, because we have built a world in which increasingly large numbers of people have the luxury of choice.

I don't want an antique set of china, because my dishwasher will probably ruin it. I don't want silver salt and pepper shakers, because I prefer freshly ground black pepper and there are a much wider range of condiments that might go on my table. I don't want a roll-top desk, because my office is oriented around a computer rather than papers.

Like a rotary telephone, most of these objects were designed to serve the needs of people who lived very different lives to me. Unlike previous generations, I have the privilege of being able to very cheaply buy things that suit my needs, rather than having to settle for what I can afford, what I am gifted or what I inherit. If you happen to value any of those things, then you're in luck - they're available in abundance, like most things you might want to own.
I haven't had any real issues with it for what I do.

If you find that it breaks something, submit an issue to the git, I'm sure it can be worked around.
In the last 15 years the US spent something like 700B on modernizing nuclear weapons. I can see how freeing people from debt so they can do things like buy houses, have kids, buy stuff benefits me. I can't see how the US's vast nuclear arsenal benefits me at all. What's the US going to do with them, kill 500M Chinese? Allow some religious nutter politician to cosplay the end times? No thanks.

Short story contest: All the phones ring at once.. but why, and who is on the other end?? Also, classic telephones are the only way to enter/exit the Matrix, so with the decline of the payphone elsewhere this guy is sitting on a type of mass-transit system.
So do you think it would be a good use of die space on a processor to support a substandard by today’s standard codec that was last used a decade ago?

It is a complete non starter for Apple or any mobile device maker to build in support for a non hardware optimized codec on a mobile device.

How does that benefit users besides the ones who bemoan not being able to run Linux on the Apple Pencil?

> it's too easy to forget an error check.

I never understood this. I do understand it is easy to forget to handle an error like it is easy to forget to handle a distance or temperature. Humans will make mistakes.

But nobody laments about how they forget to handle distances or temperatures, or cry for special constructs to ensure that they don't screw up their distance and temperature handling. What is it about the word error that sends developers into a tizzy?

Why would we want a solution that only works for errors and not for values of all kinds?
It seems worse than that:

I completely agree. But if I recall correctly, they've set up the law so that if they get duped, you're on the hook for whatever they got duped into giving the impersonator. That's the biggest problem.
Another way to do this, if you don't want to wait 5 seconds, is just to use the "pause script execution" shortcut, which is cmd-\. It'll freeze the page on whatever line of JS was currently executing, and then you can inspect the problematic element like normal.
Also the problem with formulaic wording, as prescribed in the blog, is that it promotes overthinking about the wrong thing. You overthink the particular phrasing and intonation, rather than thinking about how to improve your relationship with others which would yield substantially more positive results. And when you hesitate from overthinking, people can sense that you're not being authentic or genuine.
Not saying you are necessarily wrong about Gimp possibly being able to copy some of the good ideas from Photoshop. However, you basically confirmed what the GP said. If you suggest to put your usual Photoshop user in front of Gimp, without prior experience, then they are bound to walk into unexpected design decisions. Just like a Gimp user would, trying to find things in Photoshop.
Why not? For an international communication service with a "historical" significance on freedom of speech, is this not a natural extension of the platform? Something like this does not cost very much money to operate. "distraction" implies that it does not align with the rest of the company's objectives, and that it costs an inordinate amount of time or resources. A service like this can be administered by a single person as a tertiary function of their role, is it really any significance to their bottom line?

Always worth remembering that there's no law that you have to use the same first name that's on your birth certificate. You can introduce yourself to people as whatever you want and people will call you that, they won't ask for ID.

So you might as well choose the official name name that the average bureaucrat in your jurisdiction is unlikely to misspell, and use other name(s) in different cultural or linguistic contexts.

> A trackpoint is a joystick, you lean it in a direction and the pointer goes in that direction and you have to work with the timing and guess when to let go for the pointer to stop in the place you want.

Have you ever used a Trackpoint? It's more than a joystick. It's pressure sensitive, which means that you can quickly cross large distances, or be precise across smaller ones, by adjusting the exerted pressure. There's no guessing where the pointer will stop, since there's no deceleration, and you're almost[1] always in full control.

I agree that it's less precise than a mouse, but not by much once you're used to it. I'd trade the comfort of always keeping my hands on the keyboard for a slight decrease in precision any day. And this is even less of a problem if you optimize your workflow to use keyboard-driven UIs as much as possible.

[1]: The only issue I have with it is that it ocasionally gets "stuck" in one direction, which fixes itself after a second of letting go of it. It's possibly related to dirt or dust, because of its high sensitivity, but I haven't found that cleaning helps much. Though this might be only an issue on ThinkPad laptops, which Lenovo hasn't cared to fix for many years now.

Serving a valid tls cert takes virtually no effort. It's far more likely that Musk's downsizing killed off infra that was doing this job correctly and inexpensively for many years.

I'm going to echo this. "Please" implies an optional action like when you're trying to be kind to a child. As an adult some people will need you to do things unequivocally. If you can't handle that then that's really unfortunate for you. Please, get over yourself and understand that sometimes business is business and some thing must be done. They aren't optional. Otherwise you may find yourself finding a new job.

Having said that, I think it is wise to try to keep things amicable and only fall back to more rigid language and requests, stated as requirements, only after kinder communication has failed.
I'm asking for clarification because whilst there's a strong argument that politicians are performing insider trading (which as you say is widely regarded as something that should be stopped), if an amateur can copy those trades and make a 20% profit on them, what's stopping hedge funds from doing the same and millions or billions from what is basically second-degree insider trading?

I was asking if they are also suggesting that this second-degree insider trading be stopped somehow?
Yep, same for me
Your entire response relies on subjective claims. None if it is objective, factual, or falsifiable in the sense of say, physics. So, in effect, what you're saying is, "I have a better opinion." I disagree.

The Judeo-Christian viewpoint that you deride got us this far. The last 30 years of peace and prosperity (which was created by and from the societies founded in Judeo-Christianity morality) has given way to a mindrot in the West. One of the features of this mindrot are the luxury beliefs that you're espousing. Incarceration works. Retribution within the confines of the law works. In case you're unsure about this, look at the miracle that is El Salvador since they threw all the gang members in prison. Meanwhile, San Francisco, for example, continues to slowly implode under the type of beliefs and their attendant policies enabled by a drift away from the "Judeo-Christian viewpoint". You can philosophize all you want. All I care about are outcomes. I'd much prefer the El Salvadorian type of outcome over that of San Francisco.

> It communicates hostility and disbelief rather than curiosity.

To me, it just asks for examples. I guess that's a matter of opinion then.

> https://github.com/golang/go/issues/60078 is where this is discussed.

We can discuss semantics here, but a breaking change, to me, is one that that breaks well-crafted existing code. Well, what kind of real world code would rely on the fact that closures over an iteration target examine a value that depends on runtime behavior instead of the actual value that, semantically, seems to have been closed over?

I have stumbled upon this issue myself when I first learned Go. I have used Go professionally and in private projects and since long before modfiles became a thing. I have NEVER seen code that relies on this completely unintuitive behavior. This is not a change that breaks something good, this is a fix that removes a footgun from the language.

Further down, rsc writes this (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/60078#issuecomment-15424...)

That's some of the real-world evidence in favor of changing 3-clause loops.
I have looked, and I found no evidence in favor of not changing them.
If you want to make the case for not changing them, the way to do that would
be to provide real-world examples of code that breaks with the new semantics.

So, semantics aside, no, I do not consider this a breaking change, because while it is, technically, not backward compatible, it doesn't break existing code.

> I gave multiple examples already.

What exactly breaks in the archive/tar package? I looked it up, only found some bugs and issues, but nothing I would consider a change that breaks existing code.

What exactly did modfiles break? I can still compile code without modules. Yes, modern versions of the go-tool require a flag via envvars, but they are still compatible with old projects. And libraries changing is not the same as the language changing. If a build relies on a certain commit on the library, I can always check out that commit.
I’m using Google’s perspective api, it’s quite nuanced in its assessment of different types of abusive content. I set a threshold on 2 parameters that I feel does a great job of filtering out incendiary comments but allowing jokes that might be slightly risky but still acceptable.

I will def explore using Swift and apples native ML models for future apps though so thanks for suggesting
PhD can be like this but for a limited time.
Nonsense. The threat model that onion routing protects against is a middle man intercepting the traffic, not from Twitter knowing who you are. It still offers value.
Utility? Roll-top desks and oil lamps aren't practical, and armories make no sense when you have a closet.
That's unlikely. Even though Elon gutted the team at Twitter, the previous devs were good and certainly documented things. Besides, renewing a cert and applying it to an onion service isn't very hard, so the current team could fix it if it was a priority.

Its much more likely that it just isn't something they want to spend time on.

Well, previous commenter just did it. So that just mean that your peremptory decrees are just that. Peremptory and not really universal.
You realize this is all just yet another form of exercise. If having issues with joints, there are endless amounts of programs and workouts in the gyms, with free weights, machines, body weight, bands etc. to cover those.

But the problem often is (and it seems its valid for you too) that people are extremely focused on the sport(s) of their preference, but completely ignore overall health, ie by working out muscles and stabilizing system not primarily used in their sports. Ie not many runners ever hit the free weights or machines so their upper body looks like from Auschwitz, and it would benefit them massively long term - joints last longer, overall connection with the body is stronger. Not many runners do dedicated exercises to make their knees and ankles stronger. And so on.

I mean tendons and ligaments and rest of connective tissues also require focus when training, I'd say even more since it takes significantly longer to build any stamina/strength into it (so usually when starting working out muscles develop fast with connective tissues lagging behind and then folks end up with injuries since you need it all working together perfectly under serious load).

Walking back is severely impractical in real life and in outdoors outright dangerous if alone, so there may be smarter ways to reach same result. But it requires a bit of thinking, dedication and discipline. Just like rest of our lives.
