The slide out horizontal form factor is so obviously superior, I’m scratching my head wondering why people are so nostalgic for blackberry keyboards.
A couple years before that the Blackberry 9900 added a touchscreen to their standard form factor and even without using the touch feature it was more than usable to browse the web on. The small click/touchpad was a delight to use.
Invision actually tried building its own Sketch clone! It's hard to find much about it today, but Invision Studio was an attempt to move up the value chain and build the design app that feeds the Invision prototyping experience. It was extremely ambitious, and it fell absolutely flat.

Invision Studio came on the scene just as Figma was starting to eat Sketch's lunch, and lacking both Sketch's feature set and Figma's speed, it simply got caught in the crossfire. It must have been incredibly expensive to build, and its failure probably played a big part in locking Invision into its current path to eventually shutting down.
I ported my longtime cell number into GV a while back and have also noticed that it kept working everyplace where I ended up leaving it. I suspect they only run these checks upon the addition of the number, and not ever again.

I hate that the fraudsters make it so that we Can't Have Nice Things, but I also see why and if anything we need more ways to add costs (calibrated to be manageable to spend once, but costly if you get banned daily) for account creation in a lot of places.
> With 12AWG, depending on the cable type and rating, you can bring 20-30A (90C rated) of power to go with your fiber in the same pull.

Wire size is calculated off the 75C column of the ampacity table (NEC 310.16) so #12 wire is only good for 25A.

The reason being, there are almost no circuit breakers rated for 90C, the terminals/lugs are only rated for 75C in nearly all cases.

There should be a trade-off where source (with a few variables hidden for privacy / security) is escrowed and released after a certain time. Would MS share prices really drop if 20 year old programs like Windows XP and Office were forced to be open sourced? Would anyone take a major hit?

The cost would be small, but the upside is the preservation of our technological history.

The taxonomy is useful but it’s not exhaustive, and it’s also reductive.

Google Maps flits around to all four corners of this map depending on how you’re using it, and it needs intensive JavaScript support no matter where it ends up.

Wikipedia is, it claims, a definitively ‘informational’ site, ignoring that it also supports an enormous massively multiplayer community of active editors and authors constantly changing it.

This might be a good way of putting it. But I personally grew up in an ex-soviet country so my experience is that I am way more afraid of governments than corporations.

Rust shares Go's "errors as values + panics" philosophy. Rust also has a standard library API for catching panics. Its addition was controversial, but there are two major cases that were specifically enumerated as reasons to add this API: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1236-stab...

> It is currently defined as undefined behavior to have a Rust program panic across an FFI boundary. For example if C calls into Rust and Rust panics, then this is undefined behavior. Being able to catch a panic will allow writing C APIs in Rust that do not risk aborting the process they are embedded into.

> Abstractions like thread pools want to catch the panics of tasks being run instead of having the thread torn down (and having to spawn a new thread).

The latter has a few other similar examples, like say, a web server that wants to protect against user code bringing the entire system down.

That said, for various reasons, you don't see catch_unwind used in Rust very often. These are very limited cases.

Hide and Seek in Windows' Closet: Unmasking the WinSxS Hijacking Hideout
I've been developping two websites for more than a year, both pure react web apps, one of them having millions of users per year.

Both had the particularity to use Netlify's one checkbox prerendering button.

They are heavy computing websites, Google was ranking them in red on lightspeed SEO, since it's now detecting that users are served différent HTML than to crawling user agents.

Then we switched to Next, with some "use client" / RSC headaches we moved some heavy computing to provide most of content to Google/users with a good performance, 75-100.

5 months later, still no SEO impact. Curious to get your SEO measures if you followed the same path.

Then one website was shared on a big media. SEO went x2 with noticeable keyword changes.

Content, refering websites >> supposed SPA drawbacks.

The only major advantage of Next to me, aside from being a good framework (but composing React + Webpack + ... is good too), is generating good social share metadata, notably Vercel OG images.

TLDR : you're developping a blog ? Use Next with RSC.

You're developping an interactive Web app ? Use React + prerender and avoid all the server side rendering headaches, or use NextJS with top levels "use client" and "SSR: false" for some components like maps. Just use Next as a PWA with some server side bonus, and worry about perf later, when you have a audience.

> Neo Nazis in Russia?

Yes, and there's even a Wikipedia article devoted to them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism_in_Russia

Quote from that article:

> With the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russian neo-Nazis have achieved international attention for their militant support of Russian-backed separatist forces in eastern Ukraine. Certain groups, such as the Russian Imperial Movement, have been accused of training white supremacists and neo-Nazis from other countries in Europe. The links between these groups and the Russian government, comprising a policy known as managed nationalism, have become particularly noteworthy since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed to be pursuing the "denazification" of Ukraine.

The linked article on "managed nationalism" has more:

> Managed nationalism or controlled nationalism is a term used by some academics to refer to an informal policy of pragmatic collaboration with Russian nationalist and neo-Nazis (or in broader cases, the Russian far-right as a whole) pursued by the government of Russia under Vladimir Putin. ...

> The Russian response to Euromaidan marked a significant revitalisation of managed nationalism. Neo-Nazis, monarchists, Stalinists, and Christian nationalists, as well as Cossack groups, formed the anti-Maidan coalition, and later became militants supporting the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics as part of the Russian people's militias in Ukraine, bringing together members of the Russian neo-Nazi community and others from throughout Europe. ...

> it might be therapeutic to have a conversation with a deceased loved one.

Would it? I'm not a specialist, but it would seem a bit off to me to approach it like that. I'd think best is to accept that your deceased one has gone, and it seems like having a fake one might just prolong the grievance process and possibly also develop into an obsession of trying to replace your deceased one with the simulation, upgrading it and obsessively finding ways to make it more accurate.

If you weren't able to process your loved one being gone in the first place, how would you ever be able to quit from using the simulation?

Although there is a market for psychics who claim to be able to talk to deceased relatives. Despite them obviously being liars, I wonder what the effect overall is for the customers. Does it help them? And is it because they believe the psychic, e.g. if psychic says, that your loved one would want you to move on and live your best life, perhaps this could alleviate their guilt. But I'm not sure how that would play out with a simulation. Would it have to be simulation's goal to slowly wean them off while hinting them to move on with their life and live their best life.

But if I was to find out I am about to die, I would definitely want to try and build a simulation out of myself, that would then keep DMing the people I knew. I guess either it would have to be activated as marked down in the will, or it would have to be a sort of dead man's switch. I have to reset it monthly or it will have a timer to activate. Once I die, people will keep receiving DMs of the simulated version.
Sometimes I buy $300 buttons, they’re emergency power off buttons that are engineered not to fail. Throw in certification, warranty, and middlemen combined with low volume and you’ve got a button that sells for $300 at a supply house.

When you slam the EPO button to shut down the boiler, x-ray machine, server racks or whatever else needs to be powered down immediately in emergency situations, failure to actuate is not acceptable.

> I cannot conceive of the scenario where it makes sense to recover a bounds-checking induced panic.

A bog-standard HTTP server (or likely any kind of request-serving daemon). If a client causes a bounds-checking panic, I do not want that to crash the entire server.

It's not even really particular to bounds-checking. If I push a change that causes a nil pointer dereference on a particular handler, I would vastly prefer that it 500's those specific requests rather than crashing the entire server every time it happens.

The Go HTTP server does this internally (though there is talk about not doing it, deferred til Go 2 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/5465).

> The process should crash; the alternative is to continue operating in an unknown, irrecoverable, and potentially security compromised state.

The goroutine should probably crash, but that doesn't necessarily imply that the entire program should crash. For some applications the process and the goroutine are one and the same, but that's not universally true. A lot of applications have some kind of request scope where it's desirable to be able to crash the thread a request is running on without crashing the entire server.

> when I clicked the button, a fullscreen window got spawned, without any prompt asking me

This behavior is a pet peeve of mine. I almost never want anything to be fullscreen, and it's extremely irritating when applications or, especially, if a website makes the browser do it.
Markdown-driven static site generators would probably fulfill a majority of those use cases as well.
They are certainly different, but to say there is nothing similar is plainly untrue - apart from nominal vs structural, they are pretty much the same.

I'm not sure how significant the nominal vs structural distinction even is. In Go, a struct can implement an interface without declaring it, but the programmer still needs to deliberately write the struct to conform to the definition of the interface, so they're still coupled, just not explicitly [1]. Yes, it is possible to define a new interface which fits existing structs which weren't designed for it - but how common is that? That is, how common is it for two or more structs to have a meaningful overlapping set of methods without being designed to conform to some pre-existing interface?

[1] which is obviously a bad thing

On top of roadkill itself, there's a reasonable (IMO) argument to be made that car-centric development is a big source of our looming water problems: the US has drained or redeveloped astounding amounts of natural swamp, marsh, and wetlands to make space for car-dependent living patterns. That means less water percolating into already over-stressed aquifers.

It's a trite thing to say, but our grandchildren are going to remember us for this, much like we remember our grandparents for leaded gasoline and DDT.
It would've helped greatly if the post bothered to mention the language.
Go's nominal interface feature is definitely interesting, but that section doesn't talk about how amazing it was to implement interfaces implicitly:

> That notion quickly grew into the idea that value types had behaviors, defined as methods, and that sets of methods could provide interfaces that functions could operate on. Go's interfaces arose pretty much right away.

If you replace Go with Java, this would've accurately described Java ~30 years ago.

I can type like 45 WPM on my phone keyboard right now. I'm definitely faster on a full size keyboard, but I'm not sure if I would be faster on this small keyboard. I know a lot of people wanted keyboard like this when the iPhone first came out, but now with a lot of practice using mobile keyboards, I'm not sure it's needed.

One of the main arguments for hardware keyboards was you could type without looking. I don't really look at my phone keyboard when typing, I roughly know the spacing of the letters. Plus auto correct is really good at this point, so when I do make mistakes the phone usually just corrects them.

The only use case I could see for this is if the keyboard had control/alt/esc keys - in that case shelling into a machine on my phone might become slightly more efficient than an onscreen keyboard.
