I absolutely agree. I live in Prague and a guy on my street owns a Dodge Ram (I think that's what it is, I'm not a car guy). It sticks out far into the street or occupies a large amount of the pavement when it's parked. It struggles to make turns on the narrower roads. I really wish we would ban the import of cars above a certain size, they're dangerous and inconvenient for everyone else in the city.
Why is the Amiga so beloved in the demoscene? (2023 essay)
I love the Amiga platform and started to wonder why it still is one of the most significant platforms in the demoscene? So I wrote an essay about it.

Let's explore the birth of the demoscene, the Amiga platform's revolutionary beginnings, its emotional resonance within a dedicated community, and its broader influence on the field of computer graphics and sound.

Some apps actually do that. I know at least Rocket.Chat has an option to handle push that way. I'd like to believe other similar chat apps used by groups and communities have it too.

But as others have pointed out, just having the timestamp and target of the notifications already tells a lot.

On the contrary, it's just too smart for me! With async function types, I just can't wrap my head around what's actually happening and if it's happening the way I want it to. I'd much rather deal directly with explicit coroutines.

Interestingly enough, in my life, WhatsApp has just won. Everyone I know uses it, people I meet when traveling use it. Pretty much every Airbnb host tries to contact me on WhatsApp. My physio right now in Malaysia organizes all my appointments on WhatsApp. But I only travel East of the UK, so Europe/Afria/Asia, I have no idea what South America is like, and can guess that it's not as ubiquitous in North America based on these threads.

I cannot remember the last time I've received a non-spam SMS. The whole iMessage thing feels so alien to me. My girlfriend is an Apple fan-girl and has never used iMessage in her life.

It's too complex to label and categorise triggers like this.

If there's a snake that's about to bite you, as an optimist you could view running away as being hopeful towards being able to run away succeeding and not getting bitten.

While pessimist might think that the snake will catch them any way.

You could of course view it as something where optimist will think that snake will not bother to bite them at all and pessimist will run away because they think it will.
There’s no winning a war against ads. There are too many people who can’t or won’t pay for services directly, and there are too many people looking to promote products or viewpoints who’ll keep offering money to anyone with an audience.

What I’d like would be focusing on the downsides: ad networks should have legal restrictions on how they collect and share data, liability for any malware they distribute, and every ad should include the legal identity of the person who paid for them (which the network is required to certify). When sites see ads as free money, they plaster them everywhere. When they have to think about the negative externalities, that becomes a more nuanced decision than “would we like more money?”

I pay for YouTube to support the platform and creators. If you don't pay for a service, you aren't the customer you are the product. Google may need to shut down the free viewership of most YouTube videos unless the creator pays for them to be hosted or the viewers sign up for a subscription. The ad model is clearly failing.

Seems like a pretty reasonable guide from my quick read. The most important thing for people to know is the following snippet:

> It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture indoors.

Dealing with mold is pretty easy, just get everything dry. No need to go crazy tearing the building apart to hunt for dormant/dead mold (obviously there is a correlation of moldy building with neglected buildings so you might have to demo/repair anyways). If air quality is a concern that can be addressed monitoring/filtering.

Afaik mold is only a big topic because of lawyers seeing a nice liability and the media a spooky story.
I like how you are thinking. I do wonder if I'd get to see things like, say, Practical Engineering in an ad-free world. He seems to be passionate about it, so maybe?
That’s not how crash tests work. To be able to get the vehicle certified, they drive the car into concrete barriers at a variety of angles and evaluate dummies for injuries. If the injuries are too severe, then the car will fail. In addition, there must be mitigations in place for what happens to wheels/engines in a crash scenario. If the engine immediately gets flung out of the engine bay, it will fail. Yes, I understand this is an electric vehicle.

In reality, modern cars are extremely safe (as much as a 2 ton hunk of metal can be).

Now, this calculation may be different for other vehicles involved in an accident with a cybertruck, but in reality, a concrete barrier is much harder than even this ugly slab of steel. The other cars are also engineered to absorb the same impacts.

Arguably the most vulnerable party in a cybertruck accident is a civilian located outside of a vehicle.
You forgot to mention Schröder's famous Agenda 2010[1] which defanged German unions and they didn't fight back:

I know iMessage is E2E encrypted, and I wonder if that extends to the content shown within a push notification. Maybe the push notification servers receive the content encrypted, pushes it to the device, and then decrypted on-device?
close enough

I must add that "good politics" are all about compromise.

In my somewhat grim perspective the best outcome of good politics means none of the constitutents are happy and none are desperately angry.

> "I just can't see the front of the car".

> Oh yeah, this will work out great.

It seems to me that the Cybertruck has less of a blind spot in front of the hood than F-150. The "not seeing the front" is actually hinting at this, it's below the field of vision. The hood angles down agressively vs. huge

Large trucks/SUVs are infamous for poor pedestrian visibility right in front.

Edit: this graphic (https://cdn.carbuzz.com/gallery-images/1600/1140000/800/1140...) comes to mind.
I quite like the way it looks - I hadn't considered the crash & pedestrian safety aspects: I'm not a massive fan of the nanny state but this is important.

I live near some rural-ecomentalist type villages (UK) (aesthetics might be an issue, let's ignore that for now) where these things would actually be pretty popular - completely unnecessary but popular.
This is super insightful. It’s a shame your investment isn’t paying off. Cardiff is probably representative of much of UK. But without some prior connection to it, I don’t think it represents the best of the west that the UK has to offer.

An interesting point in Glenn Greenwald’s book is that metadata is often more informative than the “real” data.

Consider:

1. A phone call in which Mrs. Smith talks to a receptionist to set an appointment with a doctor for 9:30 next Wednesday.

Vs.

2. Knowing that Mrs. Smith called an abortion clinic.

#2 seems like a bigger violation of privacy. Metadata is the real data.

Encrypted messengers aren’t sending unencrypted push payloads, at least not deliberately.

A lot of apps don’t even put much in the push messages themselves at all, they are mainly an indicator to phone home for more information.

Consequently no gov has been getting meaningful info from the content of this stuff for many years - it will all be what you can infer from observed patterns, which is a lot.

That seems way too high. There's something like half a trillion hours watched per year. Does it really cost almost $0.10 for an hour of video?
Different types of concerns. Software engineers are most often concerned with writing software, not managing security settings, configuring services, and updating things. If you could declaratively write a single file which configures your server for you and then just copy paste that server state to 10,000 other servers, I'd be happy (you can, in fact, do this!)
That is not true, eastern Europe has strong labour laws.

World leading companies were moving to eastern Europe because it was cheap. Both land and labour.

And what of trans folks? Are they supposed to not go to the toilet for 3 days so they don't offend your culture? Or when there is small talk, should I change "my husband" into "my wife" just so I don't upset the locals?

I hope you see how ridiculous this "just don't show it" is, especially coming from folks who think LGBTQ+ is all about kissing and holing hands.

A global event should not be hosted in a country, state or a city where even the organisers are unable to make adequate arrangements for the safety of all attendees and speakers.
It should only[0] be meta data, though. The push notification should signal the app that there is data to fetch, then the app goes and fetches it. The push notification itself should carry none of the data.

[0] still bad though and they should stop.
> For me, behaving "rationally" means trying to see the reality as it is, being able to weigh all the options, probabilities of outcomes, assigning (subjective) value to them and choosing from those.

You have limited ability to consume and process information. You can't consume all information. There's billions of bits of information at any given time. It's impossible to predict the future without having some sort of simulator larger than universe. So in the end you must have some form of strategy. On which particular pieces of information are you going to focus? Are you going to try and find opportunities, or are you going to try and find risks, because you can find more than a lifetime of thoughts for both cases.

So you could also balance it out, that you spend 90% time on opportunities and 10% time on risks. It might be more successful strategy than let's say 50%/50%.

As a gay man I still play games that don't have gay characters in them (even though I wish there were more). I don't believe women differ from myself at all and I don't think the character's background matters as long as the general platform is diverse. I'm sure women will play games with female main characters, male main character etc in the same way that I'll play games with straight main characters and gay main characters alike.

Seems kind of sexist to imply otherwise, and your proposed scenario is so heteronormative: the woman too impatient to play other GTAs is only playing this one because it because it has a female character and she's a woman so that's who she should play, and it's appealing to her because the story revolves around the relationship between a man and a woman and that's what women like. Na, don't think so.

> Plus it compiles to a jar, so anywhere a jar will run - so will clojure.

I'd add, for those who don't know Clojure, that as /u/jwr commented in this thread: Clojure also runs anywhere there's a browser, thanks to ClojureScript. And thanks to source file that can be shared between both Clojure and ClojureScript (.cljc source files), you can have the very same Clojure code and run it both on the front-end and on the back-end.

So not only the JVM "reaches" (as Rich Hickey says), but JavaScript reaches too.

I know you're joking but although I use Emacs since forever and can configure it to my liking and can eventually come up with some elisp code doing what I need, I'm not good at elisp by any means.

But I'll admit that learning both Emacs + elisp + Clojure at the same time for someone who's never learned any Lisp dialect is going to be hard (and a very hard sell).

Now there's a Clojure LSP server (which should help) and it works not only from Emacs but also from other IDEs. It's not mandatory to use Emacs for Clojure development even if many (most?) Clojure devs do use Emacs.
