It doesn't have such policy. It's the lowest ranking university with a free speech score of 0. ZERO.
True. But the better way forward IMHO is to give access to technology in equal ways, instead of keeping it in the hands of a few who promise they are the good ones. Because then an chilling effect can happen, and the playing field is level.
If all of that is true, then I guess I'm just doomed to having to cut the blue LEDs out of the devices I buy forevermore? That's a bit depressing. I was hoping that this was the result of a fad that would eventually pass, eliminating a common irritation from my life.

Glad to see people are still stepping forward to take care of this project. Would love to see Gemini/Gopher support, though this is just a crazy idea from the comments section. I have no idea how feasible it is.
I think something like this would need to be attached to something that is fun or solves an immediate need. Nobody is going to sign up for the "Wobbly App" to organize their workplace for fun, but if Microsoft died tomorrow and left LinkedIn to the IWW in its will, I can imagine that they would find lots of ways to turn that into organizing muscle. A more realistic scenario is some kind of labor-backed nonprofit coming out with a platform that includes labor organizing features, but whose users mainly see it as another kind of service and only tangentially about building worker power.

I don't know what that would be though: dating app? tax software? payment app? If the service was truly popular, how difficult would it be for the initial backers to keep control (see OpenAI)? Would capital and the state torpedo this thing as soon as it saw its first success, or co-opt it to their ends?
People are going to hate on me for this but I don't do any of that stuff anymore. I've tried it all, fresh roasted beans, roasting them myself, different brewing machines, ideal water temps etc... yes for all that work and time and effort you can get a fantastic cup of coffee. Of course it can be difficult to precisely reproduce that cup of coffee. With practice you can reduce the variations from cup to cup but it will never be the same any two times. None of that work is worth the effort because with a short investment of time you can get your perfect cup of coffee much easier.

This is where people are going to hate on me but the perfect cup of coffee lies in freeze dried instant coffee. Yes it's true instant coffee is amazing when it's done right. There's only two things you need to figure out. The first is easy water temperature reconstitute your coffee at 180° f. The second is a little more difficult because it takes time. You must find a brand that you like because everyone's tastes are a little bit different. For the same reason there's a thousand different varieties and roasts of coffee beans, there's also a massive variety of instant coffee. Buy the smallest package you can and try different instant coffees until you find the one you like. Surprisingly mine was one of the cheapest instant coffees that you can get.

Now your cup of coffee becomes insanely simple with no waste like a Keurig and these other machines. With your microwave you can dial in your water temperature perfectly because you can start with a known water temperature. I get my water filtered and chilled from the refrigerator and I microwave it for 2 minutes and 5 seconds and it's perfect every time to hit the temperature I want. I reconstitute my coffee and I have a perfect cup every time without messing around with all this other nonsense. It just took the small investment of finding the instant coffee that I liked.

For those people who have the instant coffee hate it's very likely you had it reconstituted at the wrong temperature and very likely it simply wasn't a blend that you liked. Instant coffee is coffee made by science it is brewed at the perfect temperature from the beans the beans are roasted and selected perfectly to be the same every time. It is flash Frozen and it is dehydrated to lock in the perfect flavor. No amount of home futzing around will allow you to brew a cup of coffee like they do at the places that make instant coffee. No matter how good you are your coffee will vary from time to time.
Fantastic work. I remember using Dillo in Puppy Linux from Live CDs back in the day.

What's the minimum compiler you target? Any big long term plans? Fuzzing? Moving to 'modern' build system like CMake?
I was thinking more ambient co-presence. Getting to see what parts of the code - at a glance - are active, see where folks are in the codebase.

If someone does want help, then heck yeah, the same shared code-environment should help co-coding too! But I think the leap, for me, is trying to imagine staying connected, rather than everyone being siloed; ambient co-presence puts it nicely.
Is this a toy? I get this warning on the English version of that website:

This is a perfect example of a cost savings opportunity that offers no benefit and is really just a foot gun when it comes to operational complexity. The cloud cost savings almost never justify the operational costs here. There’s typically a very long list of other cost optimizations to be made before this would ever be on the table for me. If you’re talking about 1500+ databases and think a single full time devops+dbadmin in some kind of unicorn person is going to be a better option, I feel bad for both of you.

What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about? Any plans for projects in the new year?
To me, it’s like making a clear, well-supported, and coherent argument, but nonchalantly adding curse words. It adds nothing, except alienating those who might otherwise have listened.

It’s harder to do, but I’d rather get to the future with everyone in tow, not just those that think or agree with me.
I've been noticing when I was growing up weed was in fact the cure to all problems people had depression, anxiety, anger issues? "Smoke a joint man it makes everything okay." People were out there claiming weed cured cancer, that the whole reason weed wasn't legal is because the evil pharmaceutical industrial complex didn't want people to do it because it would cure all their problems, that weed had absolutely no bad side effects and if everyone was just puffing all day all their problems would go away, etc. etc. Well weed became legal in most places and research started being done and it turns out weed didn't cure everyone's problems, weed does have side-effects and risks with using it, especially if you smoke or vape it, and it isn't the magical silver bullet to all mental health issues.

I feel like I am seeing the same cycle happen again with psychedelics, especially shrooms and LSD.
When even Israeli holocaust scholars describe it as a "Textbook case of Genocide"[0][1] then there is clearly enough evidence to classify it as such.

> The implication is clear: browsers unchained can do to mobile what the web did to desktop, where more than 70% of daily "jobs to be done" happen on the web.

This was an actual debate in the early days of app stores. Facebook was the most prominent company that decided to go with an HTML5 app instead of a native one. Doing so was one of the biggest strategic mistakes they've ever made. Zuck's words, not mine. (https://www.engadget.com/2012-09-11-zuckerberg-html-5-facebo...).

Web apps were slower, had issues dealing with the various browsers and saw less use.

It doesn't seem like the author has done any real research here.
Plenty of dumps of stolen personal Gmail usernames+passwords, that anyone can feed into a bot that will use browser automation to sign into Gmail on those accounts and “hand write” some spam messages to send.

(If you haven’t realized, this is why Gmail has SMTP message origination disabled by default — these days requiring not only enabling it for your Gmail account, but also fiddling with app passwords to get it working. If it was enabled by default, the “spam from stolen credentials” problem would be so, so much worse. Whereas, at least with the webapp route, Google can block you if you look like a bot [i.e. if you’re doing an insufficiently good job at fooling them.])

> Ooookayy. I would not compare any technical decision in this space to that. A bit grandiose.

One has to be able to understand an analogy for the point the person is trying to make -- it's not an equivalence. Obviously most software issues don't rise to the level of life or death.

That said, let's try a few others:

- Waterfall

- DCOM

- CORBA

- Web Services

- Microservices (as implemented by web developers -- per-entity web api to web api to web api cascading failure)

- Monorepos (not globally, with sufficient support these can work)

- Devs shouldn't write tests

- Fat Model, Skinny Controller

- Write tests. Not too many. Mostly integration.

- Single Page Apps for all

- SCRUM

- Story points

Most, if not all of those were embraced by "most experts", but are now demonstrated problematic or at least are knowably wrong from fundamental design principles. Note that statistically speaking, "most experts" are, at best, early majority. There aren't very many in the Innovators and Early Adopters, and crossing that chasm is rare, and hard.

We have a history in our community of intransigence, repeating mistakes, and expert beginners being the most outspoken portion of our community. They are the ones that have the most to gain by blogging and self-promotion and there are significantly more of them than people who may have different things to say for good reason. Note that right now, I am speaking generally, not debating a commit message approach.

> Then... you disagree with the "of course", you said.

No, the "of course" was: of course no one I work with would make that mistake (more than once). It would be an extremely beginner mistake, and we would have failed as coaches on our team to not pair with a person long enough to help them understand how to write proper commit messages.

> I'm going to assume that's a dependency version change.

Yes, it's a pinned version for that dependency. You don't have any context on that particular commit, so it's not surprising that it's ambiguous.

> Most theories are wrong, even by experts. It's not even embarrassing to be wrong.

Indeed! I have been wrong many times in my career. Hell, I invented the "auto-mocking container" which, in hind sight was so stupid (and btw, my colleague you referenced warned me about it at the time -- he's always been a few steps ahead) that I never should have popularized it. Thankfully, it fell into the past along with IoC containers (for the most part).

I have plenty of other stories about being wrong as well, and as I've said elsewhere, if we find a better way to write commit messages we will do that. For now, from our analysis, the way we do it is best for us -- observably (I'll say that, rather than objectively, though I do believe we were as objective as possible in our analysis).

Thanks for the discussion.
What I remember being a few clicks away last time I used one (about two years ago), was an Ubuntu container that could be installed with a persistent local filesystem and shell access.

Ah ok, understood.

I would argue that is still not a convenient lie of "a branch is a pointer to a commit". Rather, the rebase command is changing what the branch is pointing to, and git tries to make that clear.

After that rebase command, there is a message like `Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/yourbranch`, showing that the branch named yourbranch is now pointing at something new.

Your original comment:

>Consider the case where I create a new branch B from A then remove a commit. The branch is now more like a "a pointer to a commit on a DAG" where branch B points to a commit on a different DAG than branch A.

My counterpoint taking this to the extreme:

>Consider the case where I create a new branch B from A then run git reset --hard SOMESHA1

In my example, again the new branch is pointing at a completely different commit--because I am repointing the branch.
I am surprised that part of Mozilla's never introduced an Android launcher for progressive web apps.

Given that they already have Firefox on Android and their history with FirefoxOS, I expected this to be a key lever to get app/website developers to consider this as an option.

Are there barriers such as performance or API issues (e.g. double click behaviors) that prevent the webmanifest and other approaches from gaining traction here?
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

I get that a perfectly divergence-free field might not be what the artist is after, but if you go the projection route where you "subtract out the divergence" so to speak, I was thinking you could just do a scaled subtraction to not take all of it out. Alternatively perhaps it could be artistically interesting to do a non-linear scaling.

Anyway, seems like a fun rabbit hole.
On Android, there are notification channels you can opt in to individually.
it is barely relevant to big players, but is extremely valuable for small players: distributing your workflow to multiple gpus manually is not that simple thing to do and there are a lot of much more interesting/important problem to solve than shoving your model to a gpu.
All three legs of the "first do it, then do it right, then do it better" stool are necessary parts of this philosophy / methodology. It's indeed a difficult and rarely-achieved practice. But personally, I think it's the better aspiration, even recognizing that it often gets stuck at the first step. I think the alternative of trying to start with "build it right" also usually falls into its own failure modes - analysis paralysis, crumbling under the weight of adding all the complexity all at once rather than iteratively, etc. - which in my view are even worse.
Another angle is - "tech reporters" don't want to touch this because some mysterious blacklisting would result and their digital life would slowly come crumbling down. They're afraid to ruffle feathers.
macOS Ventura and newer actually have basic OCR functionality integrated into the Image Capture UI. When using an AirPrint-compatible scanner and scanning to PDF, the checkbox "OCR" is shown in the right pane.
Revolut App seems to have orders of magnitude more downloads on Android than iOS, so presumably this was an Android phone.
> He’s stated many times that he bought Twitter due to free speech concerns and not to make money. It’s kind of weird to me that people on the internet aren’t praising him for being principled, and are instead laughing at him for (expectedly) losing money.

Well, other than the whole little thing where he said "advertisers leaving will destroy Twitter and it will be all their fault".

Platforms offered advertising for, last I checked, making money.
On top of having different teams supporting each OS, because a company developing a project this large isn't going to have a small team where the developers know each OS (not quite full-stack in the web development stack, but just comparable to developers that know every OS they need to build for). There then needs to be communication between different development teams, as well as offering feature-parity across OS's, because your clients need to be able to communicate with each other across OS's since your product is a chat application for business. It's not normally acceptable to have features that are different between OS's when your product is meant for team chat.
I did a similar thing, but it was Mandrake. I bought it primarily to save having the multi-gb download over 56k.

I remember doing a lot of fighting with '3dfx' drivers, X, and network drivers. I only had one PC, so I had to run to a friend's house to google [edit: search for things on altavista] things, then I'd bash my head against my keyboard all evening.

I found debian soon after that, and though I've jumped around a little, I run debian still today.

It is, except that’s the short-sighted fallacy of this too.

He had $60. His options were:
A) pay someone local to make it
B) buy from abroad and save $50 to spend on other items to increase economic prosperity

Either way he gets his part. But without the inflated costs, he could have had more “stuff” and created other jobs.

We don’t employ switchboard operators anymore and our lives are definitely better. To me, protectionism would be like keeping operators employed even in the face of modern switch technology.
It's not outside the realm of possibility for web apps to have as good of an experience as binary apps for most use cases. But Apple has no motivation to make "the good stuff" easily available to web developers.

Letting a webapp capable webpage have an in-page "install this app" button that added it to the home screen would wipe out 50% of app store usage. But as it is, as an "add to home screen" option on the share menu of a webpage, which very few have noticed or understand the meaning of... it keeps web apps from taking off.

Nobody should ever be getting behind the wheel of a car, let alone the cockpit of a plane, if they have not slept in 40+ hours.

There are lots of things that went wrong in that story, at multiple points. Using it to conclude that drugs are categorically unsafe, and therefore should be criminalized, is the wrong takeaway.

You beg the question by claiming it’s insolvent and calling it a “pseudo stablecoin”.

So no, it’s not the “very definition” of a scam.
I agree that it is a weird take, but your analogy is off.

The actual therapeutic effect would be stopping suicidal ideation, not a single instance of suicidal behavior. A person may continue to suffer whatever ill effects that were pushing them to suicide but (temporarily) reconsider the action itself.

On the one hand, nobody can "fix" you; you need to internalize different ways of thinking and build emotional resilience. Drugs may help this process, or help maintain it, but they're not a cure, and neither is talk therapy. It is, in a sense, a matter of convincing yourself.

On the other hand, most people- even very introspective people- will struggle with self-therapy. It isn't as easy as "today I am happy".
