How does that follow? It's a longstanding controversy. The same arguments have been made over and over again.

Adolescence is more prolonged than ever, the problems typically identified (isolation, excess social media, insufficient sunlight) aren't contingent on early adulthood unless we redefine adulthood to mean those things.
I'm confused because it seems like you're actually agreeing with the person you're replying to. Namely that improper administration of a drug by a "doctor [who doesn't] care for ... well-being" is an issue. Logically, that doesn't say anything about the appropriateness of the drug for others. Eg. You wouldn't say people shouldn't ever use opiates in hospital settings because opiates are abused elsewhere.
First of all, I've been saying from the very beginning that your stance implies both less security AND less diversity. But I knew you would grasp onto the security part like a lifeline, because you've run out of ways to derail the conversation, which is why I clarified in my previous comment. You ignored my clarification, and once again decided to argue with a straw man. I've never seen so many bad faith straw man arguments in my life. Forget the security aspect of it since you clearly can't debate that, and just focus on the diversity, and you're STILL wrong.

As you like to say when you're clarifying, "let's take a step back here". I'll just repeat my last comment, and hopefully you won't evade it like you always do:

You've said previously: "My point is that webapps move everything into the browser, going towards a world where something like ChromeOS is the only valid way to use a computer. I want to choose my OS". [1]

So you think the best way to increase OS diversity is to get developers to submit their apps to proprietary app stores that only run on their own respective operating systems, instead of using open web standards that work on every operating system? How does that make sense?

Do you get it yet? You're claiming you want OS diversity, but you're advocating for the solution that results in LESS OS diversity, that's why you're contradicting yourself, and that's why your position is logically inconsistent. You absolutely know this, which is why you're dodging every attempt to actually debate it. And I know you know this, because you purposely omitted the first sentence of my paragraph when you quoted it, which was [2]: "And now you're arguing in favor of the app store duopoly which contradicts your point about software diversity." That part didn't fit your narrative, which is why you omitted it. You're better at evasion, and rhetorical trickery than you are at actually discussing technical topics. If you had said instead: "I admit my position implies less OS diversity, but in this case I'm willing to make that trade off in exchange for better security guarantees", then we could move on to the security question (and you'd lose that debate too).

You can admit that one of those pesky web developers you're so fond of condescending to actually has a good point, it won't hurt.

Feature flag SDK normally have background workers, but that's not available with a Netlify function that is running as a Lambda.

I implemented FeatureFlags in Netlify in two different ways and compared. For most applications I think accepting some long tail latency is the best path.

If it really matters, moving to AWS instead and using a Lambda extension feels like the best choice.
Proving deletion is kinda like proving a negative, I've been there.

Things that may help:
* A method statement (procedure) for creation and deletion.
* Careful screenshots of the above for sensitive datasets including the 'after' state, eg trying to access old data getting an error.
* Signed statements by the people doing the above that they actually did the above in good faith and had it cross-checked by someone senior.
* Possibly stamp it so someone has liability if wrong.
Sorry, but can you elaborate on what type of transaction isolation-levels your solution supports (i.e. read committed, repeatable read, serializable, read uncommitted)?
I can't wrap my head around the way this solves the global mutable state problem.

First, here's what I do understand about databases and global state: compared to programming variables, I don't think databases are shared, mutable global state. Instead, I see them as private variables that can be changed through set/get methods (e.g., with SQL statements if on such a DB).

So I agree shared, global state is dangerous (I'm not sure I'd call it harmful) and the reason I like databases is that I assume a DB, being specialized at managing data, will do a better job at protecting the integrity of that global state than I'd do myself from my program.

With luck, there may even be a jepsen test of the DB I'm using that lets me know how good the DB is at doing this job.

In this post there's an example of a question we'd ask Rama: “What is Alice’s current location?”

How's that answered without global state?

Because of the mention of event sourcing, I'd guess there's some component that knows where Alice was when the system was started, and keeps a record of events every time she changes her place. If Alice were the LOGO turtle, this component would keep a log with entries such as "Left 90 degrees" or "Forward 10 steps".

If I want to know where Alice is now, I just need to access this log and replay everything and that'd be my answer.

Now, I'm certain my understanding here must be wrong, at least on the implementation side, because this wouldn't be able to scale to the mastodon demo mentioned in the post, which makes me very curious: how does Rama solve the problem of letting me know where Alice is without giving me access to her state?

Regarding your sources:

One has to do with self-esteem, which has nothing to do with whether it is pro-social or beneficial, just that some types of shame harm self-esteem, which was never contested.

The second study is about criminal populations, and I specifically mentioned that shame is about self-policing, and that obviously didn't work if someone is incarcerated for a crime.
I expect it's mostly a cost thing, but I can see a couple of scenarios where it could make sense:

* >1G internet in a mostly or exclusively wifi home

* <=1G internet + a 2.5G LAN, so that ethernet <=> wifi and ethernet<=>SSD transfers are faster

The second scenario could actually fit me right now, but my ISP is expecting to roll out multi-gigabit options later this year year.

At any rate, I agree with everyone else, I would prefer two 2.5G ports.

As long as you only want to use it in bright light. I almost always need to use my Garmin watch's backlight indoors since it's just not bright enough to see otherwise.

And while the display is great outdoors, the colors are muted compared to what you'd see with an OLED or traditional LCD display.

I use my tablet indoors much more than outdoors (and it cranks up the display brightness to be usable in pretty much any light other than full direct sunlight, and I rarely sit in the direct while using it), so I don't think I'd want an MIP display on a tablet.
I agree that some of this was kinda weird or just meant for those "in the know," but it was mostly a good piece. I especially appreciate the ABZ idea, because it comports with one of the best pieces of advice I got in college, "Work from the end, to the beginning." What does the finish product look like and how did it get there? It frames your (my) thinking better when I don't have an answer. If I take the learned experience of what I've done (A) what I'm working on already (B), and I know I want to make (Z), that's end-to-beginning thinking.

> I can use Windows drivers from Windows XP era. Try that on Linux.

Linux has a model where all drivers should live in-tree; if we account for that, then yes, most devices that worked on Linux in 2001 will work on Linux today.

> And I can run any win32 binary, regardless how old is it. Try that on Linux.

Yes, Linux also has excellent compatibility with old win32 binaries. This is partially a joke and partially not.

Well, sitting and staring blankly has been socially unusual for decades at least. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBBQdFSvvTE

That said: I don’t pull out my phone when waiting in line, I don’t usually have a book or newspaper handy, and I often don’t feel like talking with a stranger (though I will sometimes). That leaves me alone with my thoughts. Despite the implication of descriptions like “staring blankly”, though, my mind is absolutely active during those times. Sometimes it’s calm, sometimes it’s running a mile a minute. Maybe I’m daydreaming, maybe I’m replaying a book or movie scene in my head, maybe I’m making plans for the day, maybe I’m debating with myself or thinking philosophical thoughts or trying to work out what I should say in an upcoming meeting. Thinking thoughts is active, and I don’t consider it time wasted.

I'd be stronger than that. The soft plastic inside an Aluminum bottle is always worse than a plastic bottle. Even if it's not PTFE or BPA, it's less durable than the hard plastic bottles. And the neurological effects of aluminum are well known.

Given that almost all metal bottles are coated aluminum, the vast majority of "metal water bottle only" parents are doing more harm than good IMO.

Would be very interested in reading about SB. Has it already been posted?
The article is about ACID, both consistency and isolation not just about consistency and you can't isolate them (pun intended). The underlying of the discussion was not on consistency, instead on the possibility of using DynamoDB where you would use a typical relational engine.

From the article:
"The textbook definition of ACID Isolation is serializability (e.g., Architecture of a Database System, Section 6.2), which states that the outcome of executing a set of transactions should be equivalent to some serial execution of those transactions. This means that each transaction gets to operate on the database as if it were running by itself, which ensures database correctness, or consistency."

" This means that each transaction gets to operate on the database as if it were running by itself, which ensures database correctness, or consistency. A database with serializability (“I” in ACID), provides arbitrary read/write transactions and guarantees consistency (“C” in ACID), or correctness, of the database. Without serializability, ACID, particularly consistency, is generally not guaranteed"

I am of course ignoring the Consistency you are certainly aware that exist in DynamoDB with Strong Consistency and DynamoDB Transactions.

Moving consistency management outside of DynamoDB as you propose doesn't circumvent the CAP theorem's limitations.
Well... there are other things you can do besides staring blankly. Reading a book, perhaps? Having a conversation?

I get your point about global mutable state, but I do not see how you have done anything more than shuffle the complexity around

Warning about old books. (The NoStarch one is from 2005)

Given that IPv4 Evolved a lot over the last 20 years to manage the complexity of address assignment and shortages,
everyone should be aware that IPV6 has changed too.

The chapter on IPv6 just barely hint and the development of IPv6 in real world cases.

Don't take an almost 20 year old book for gospel for IPv4 or IPv6.

Policy and implementation practice has changed enormously.
Look at documentation from the last few years and from good sources.
EG
Apnic is the Regional Internet Registry for Asia.

Also a good source of info and opinions is the Packet Pusher set of podcasts. https://packetpushers.net/

I find that they tend to have a very real world explanation of topics covered and they avoid the "I've doing networking for 20 years. Don't tell I have to change" attitude.
It could be done but it likely wouldn't perform well or be very useful (because the software surrounding the application also needs to exist.) The IR notably has a lot of indirections in the way e.g. function calls are represented (indirect call through a table which then refers to the module it needs to call), it's stack based, stuff like that.

Realistically speaking you are just better off targeting a compiler to whatever instruction set you have, because writing a (basic) compiler isn't too difficult. You can even just use wasm2c and then run a C compiler on it, assuming one exists for your target...

In my thought experiment I’m trying to compare somebody who is perfectly happy in this new world spending much time behind screens, and somebody who needs more face to face interaction to be happy. I think the latter are doomed to try and keep up with the former by making personal sacrifices.

I think about this because in my youth the kids who spent all day in front of a computer were treated as disabled, disordered, and aberrant who needed to be pushed to be more social to succeed. Mostly boys were treated in this way. Yet I feel it’s these socially driven people who are fucked. Mostly women.

Engineer's Disease: the idea that domain competence translates to anything out of that domain.

Put another way, the most hardline, fundamentalist Mormon I've ever known was a former boss, who was a fantastic engineer -- and completely incapable of challenging his assumptions in any other area. Ruthlessly logical when it came to system design, but couldn't apply that to anything else.

There was also no control group, which is a fatal flaw in any depression related study.

If you're not aware: Depression studies have a very high placebo response rate. It's often hard to get new antidepressants to demonstrate improvements in studies not because the patients don't get better, but because the placebo group improves so much that the difference between the groups is small.

This doesn't mean that antidepressants are placebo, it just means that if you take depressed people and tell them they're going to get better, then give them a lot of attention and activity from clinicians, they start to improve.

This study definitely needs a control group, as the patients went all the way to Mexico on a small vacation to receive the drug. I guarantee that if you take a cohort of depressed patients, send them to Mexico for a short vacation and hand them a placebo pill that you tell them is an antidepressant, many of them will improve substantially on various measures upon return.

This is why placebo control groups are critical for any depression study. I don't think it's a coincidence that so many of these psychedelics-for-depression studies omit control groups. Including a control group increases the cost, but it also is guaranteed to reduce the "wow factor" of a depression study. Therefore, they get omitted any time someone wants to make an antidepressant look effective.

If this was a study for a new SSRI that didn't have a control group, people would be tearing it apart. For some reason people love stories about psychedelics doing magical things, though, so a lot of people are willing to overlook the most glaring fault of this study.
Expect there were extremely large differences both in software (how you could use your device, with just a finger instead of stylus) and hardware (glass and better overall display).
And they did that at the same price the high-end phones were at the time.

The Vision Pro is nothing like this, in hardware it is a noticeable improvement to what already exists (but not that big compared to the latest gear in the premium segment) and the software is largely a copy of what already exists with no clear use case. You could say the eye/hand tracking is the killer feature but it has to been seen how reliable it actually is in practice and it doesn't enable any particular application. In fact, it seems obvious that for many things done in VR people will quickly need to associate some controller.
All that at 3 times (at least) the price of the closest competitors.

The iPhone worked not because it was a magical innovation, but because it was the recipe that had all the right ingredients in the good proportions following the right cooking process; at a palatable price. Pretending otherwise is history bending.
