> From what I can tell, a lot of complaints are from people who don't really like to code. Expressiveness means choice and that means thinking about coding instead of just following a "one way to do it" pattern over and over. Thoughtful coding, making something unique and making it easier than other examples...

The complaints are from the poor suckers who had to maintain that "mirthful" code after it was written. Writing greenfield code is already fun in most languages; understanding existing code is already the hard part, and having to decode the "unique" thoughts of whoever came before you makes it worse.
They are tying one market (phone hardware) to another (their messaging network). Whether that rises to the level of "abuse" is up to you.

I consider it so because of recent reports that 87% of US teens own iPhones, and colloquial knowledge of how "green bubbles" negatively affect teens' social and mental health.
I don't review anything. It's not worth even 10 seconds of my time. It's all fake anyway.

If I offer you $100 for an iPhone, should you be forced to sell to me at that price?

I have absolutely no idea about html rendering so my only contributions so far has been to ask/suggest to people who could know.

But it is an idea that I keep getting reminded about.

It could work adoption wise, since if it can be done technically it can be adapted independently of everyone else on backend and frontend:

- backwards compatible, if a browser doesn't take advantage of it it renders completely ordinary and in supporting browsers if a website doesn't use this trick it just renders as any other website

- If just one browser and one website does implement this then there will be a full setup. If the idea worked and for example Firefox supported this and Wikipedia or someone else took advantage of it suddenly everyone who used Wikipedia would se faster load and less battery usage.

One idea is to moderate the intensity of your weekend activities and keep track of metrics. A few things to measure might be how much sleep, what you're eating, what you're drinking, and the duration of the activity. e.g. What if you prioritized more sleep before partying and/or leaving the party earlier (vary the times) to see what effect that had. Another might be to keep track of what you're drinking such as water, beer, or whiskey and vary that to see how it affects you. BTW, being well hydrated (water) is always good. Another thing to keep in mind is priorities in how you balance your life and how you will feel 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years down the road for the success/failure of your startup based on how you managed your time/activities during that journey. Also, what effect will that have on the commitments you've made and the people who believe, rely on, and are rooting for you.
> If you want your 10 stars to mean 10 stars, you need to rate a bell curve of other stuff too.

If you want your positive rating of something to have the most impact (for whatever reason), then you need to give negative ratings to other things (even if they deserve better)?
Your comment made me go lookup my old reviews. It's crazy, most of them were deleted. I would have expected to receive some kind of notification.

I thought I could sift through the rubble to discern fake from real but now I know Amazon reviews are absolutely worthless.

It discussed both personal actions and regulations as a counter to the current status quo. Regulations often limit what can be done, and probably will have to if they are to be effective given how legal consent has become watered down to the point of being meaningless.
Honestly, I can't believe it is 2024 and people still believe/trust user-generated reviews of any sort. Isn't it widely known that these are always gamed, manipulated, algorithmically distorted and just totally unsuitable for making any kind of judgment about a product? I'm shocked that people and companies still pay attention to these streams of garbage.
“must”? The lockout is only the reason that an event consisting of a misplaced device that was returned, instead turned into the constructive loss of the device in question.

The argument is more than that -- namely that in addition to having sophisticated AI, Google also controls the OS (Android) and hardware (Pixel). Being able to integrate best-in-class AI at every level of the stack is a tremendous advantage. OpenAI can't do this because they don't control the OS, and will always need to go through an app. Apple can play since they control OS and hardware, but at the moment they appear pretty far behind in the AI aspect.

My issue is that we’ve been trained to see things on a broken scale - 10 is good, 9 is good, 8 is probably ok, 7 is questionable and everything else is really bad.

I get it’s chicken/egg, but I feel like you can’t adjust ratings without retraining people on what ratings mean. I guess that means I think we should probably do away with the numbers and think about a more qualitative approach? Not a strong belief.
It’s weird to me how people always say it the same way: The definition of insanity. Is anything else referred to as being “the definition” of something in a commonly used phrase?

Hate to break it to you, Mr Albert Einstein, but the definition of insanity can be found, like every other definition, in a dictionary. And thats not what it says in the dictionary under insanity.

I understood the crux of the argument to be that the holy grail UX is having an always-on AI assistant you can have a spoken conversation with. He says that Google’s combination of hardware, Android, loads of data on the user, and good enough AI chops might be a combination that makes an assistant so helpful that it would get people to switch away from iOS to use it.

I think it was probably a rhetorical question, but with regards to type checking, as with ML, type inference is an elaboration step in the compiler that produces the correct syntax of the formal language defined in the language definition. Specifying the actual implemented algorithm that translates from concrete syntax to abstract syntax (and the accompanying elaboration to explicit type annotations) is a separate component of the specification document that does not exert any control or guidance to the definition of the formal language of the ‘language’ in question.

I think this may be a large point of divergence with regard to my understanding and position on language specifications. I assume when posts have said Rust is getting a spec, that that included a formal, ‘mathematically’ proven language definition of the core language. I am aware that is not what C or C++ or JS includes in a spec (and I don’t know if that is true for Ada), but I was operating under the assumption the Rust’s inspiration from Ocaml and limited functional-esque stylings that the language would follow the more formalized definition style I am used to.

Would you be fine if they were derivative of your work and their sales (in the case of a commercial project like the one in this article) cut into your bottom line?
That’s a paywall, which is what I said above.
This line gets repeated a lot. Sometimes people need both A and B, but they have to choose A xor B.

There's so little competition in this space that voting with your wallet barely moves the needle. Giving a company public feedback doesn't hurt.
I can already hear the usual bullshit they spout when we're seeing situation like this. "users has no obligation to support you financially, mate." "if you don't like it, don't release your project in permissive license." and many other similar sentences.

I solve it for now by looking for 4 star reviews and reading them :-)

I think this often gives at least an indication of what to expect.
I mean… they’re not 100% wrong.
Society is very good at adapting to such things. It will be an arms race for sure, but I don't think there is going to be a crisis of people being suckered by AI generated reviews. If it gets bad enough people will just stop giving them any weight at all, or even treat a lot of good reviews that are well written as suspicious. Then we will find some other way to find out quality of goods and services which will then be gamed at a greater and greater level until that too becomes unusable.
> The supports_feature-method is probably defined somewhere 5 abstractions deep.

Yes, but pro tip: you can do object.method(:supports_feature).source_location to inspect where it comes from. It may be a module included into the class, the class itself or one of its super classes, or a concept built on modules like ActiveSupport "concerns". But source_location works in almost all cases.

> might also be part of some library's weird meta-programming of supports-* that no LSP can point you towards

Yes, if this comes from method_missing, you can't check it's source_location. You need to use your knowledge that the method name works and that method_missing is how such things are done, and then you do object.method(:method_missing).source_location and read the logic there.

The lack of safe and reliable IDE introspection and design-time type support are my number one issue with Ruby, and why I tend to use typed languages instead.

However, there are workflows for inspecting a codebase that work, they just don't fit in well to the usual LSP+IDE pattern. You are expected to use irb/rails console to do your inspection of the structure and behavior of your programs.

A car !== A computer

Not the person you're replying to but I am a user of Calibre --

1. Automatic ingesting and conversion of book files (download a pdf, epub, mobi, even something with DRM to a specific folder and it's available for reading/transfer automatically)

2. One (or more if being selective) click loading onto an e-reader (with auto format conversion)

3. Plugins or native feature DRM removal for purchased ebooks. Also plugin support for reading different file types, tying it all in to the main app seems clunky, better to have auto-installed file-type plugins and the abstraction/freedom plugins bring

4. Automatic/semi-manual/full-manual metadata control. Being able to scan the internet for new covers, isbns, category tags, blurbs, etc and selectively choose what to add is perfect while still retaining the options for grab everything or enter everything by hand too

5. Full text search of all file formats, as well as field-specific metadata search

6. Semi-manual curation with tag filtering and virtual libraries (saved searches basically, very powerful in combination with tags and ratings)

7. Highlight/quote saving. This is something which I do a lot on the e-reader and have been meaning to find a plugin to load them back into Calibre. Native support (in your app) would be fantastic

8. Keyboard shortcuts, theming, all those other nice little features that are less calibre-specific

edit - adding more as I thought on this longer:

* Cover and table views - it's nice to see the book covers yet also the compact editing and selection of a text-only table is essential. Sorting by title, author, publish, upload/ingest date, rating, etc is also quite important

* Folder/file based data storage. Having database files for extra metadata or internally needed stuff is a-ok yet it's so nice to be able to go into a folder named after the author and copy out a file in any of the converted formats. Automatically updating the metadata in the file itself (title, author, publish date, etc) and standardizing the file names is also key

* Book editing. This is less important early on since it's a big feature yet it's nice to be able to go in and fix typos from OCR or take out extra whitespace (or copyright warnings). A global reformatter or format aware find/replace is also quite handy for standardizing across multiple download sources (h2 vs h1 for chapter titles, weird indenting at the start of sections, dividers done with ---, <hr>, or custom images, etc). Style editors are nice yet less important since reader apps/devices generally handle most of this

* Image background removal. If you have a dark mode or sepia or even better custom theming in the book reader view, there will be images and custom dividers with white backgrounds that would look better inverted or with transparent backgrounds. This is a tricky one, since some images don't make sense to invert or tweak to the theme, yet done well it's a really nice feature
Out of curiosity, I checked the git log of my own little personal project, a macOS based Poker tournament clock, like The Tournament Director[1], and the initial commit was in December of 2014. Wow, almost 10 years ago! And yes, it's still not done, even though I've been using it for my own home games for years. I've never released it publicly either--I guess I just don't see this need to get users/be seen by the world. Otherwise, this whole article rang super-true. Thank you for writing it out.

> The possible downgrade is usually limited to downgrading SHA2 to SHA1 when using RSA keys for user authentication

AFAIK this downgrade is not possible for OpenSSH, as it refuses RSA/SHA1 signatures by default at both the client and server. Moreover, deleting the EXT_INFO message would only remove the _advertisement_ that these messages are accepted and would change the fact of whether they are.

It might be possible to use this attack to trick an old client to making a RSA/SHA1 signature where it might mormally have made an RSA/SHA2 one, but I can't see any security impact from this as the signed data is still bound to the connection instance and it wouldn't change whether the peer would accept it anyway.

Someone who had read only The Hobbit would have a hard time seeing the relationship, yes. That's because Tolkien himself didn't conceive it when he wrote The Hobbit, and even when he started working on LotR; the latter was originally just another story about hobbits, since people had told him they wanted more hobbit stories.

But, as he says in the foreword to LotR, that story got irresistibly drawn towards the older world, and became a story of its ending and passing away before its beginning and middle had been told. (I don't know if I'm giving what he said in the foreword word for word, but I think I'm pretty close.) So someone who read the LotR in its published form would see the connection, if for no other reason than some of the same characters (Elrond, Galadriel, Cirdan) appear in both works. And of course anyone who read the Appendices in detail would see even more connections, because Tolkien put them there on purpose.

(Btw, after the publication of LotR, Tolkien went back and reworked some parts of The Hobbit, notably the encounter with Gollum in Riddles In The Dark. That reworked version is what most people now have read. The really original version, published before LotR, is even less related to the legendarium.)

>> and at that level, no health impacts have been demonstrated

But again, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

The fact is, our ability to detect harmful health effects, particularly over the long term, is still in its absolute infancy. There is absolutely no reason to declare things safe until proven unsafe, particularly, particularly when you look with a historical lens.

The damage of a chemical will always be greater than what we can measure, because science (measuring blood levels of tens of thousands of people with mass spectometry and correlating against long-term health events like cancer) is incredibly hard, expensive, and slow.

As a thought experiment, suppose a chemical released in the water increased emotional irritability by 1%, or ADD by 2%, or reduced sperm count by 3%? What are the odds that we'd be able to conduct a study sensitive enough to prove the link? And what are the odds that anybody would happen to guess that correlation existed and choose to look in the first place?
