Wikipedia doesn't have "infinite scrolling", you have to make a choice to look at associated content. Better still, you get to choose what you look at instead of having an algorithm choose for you. And you could even bookmark what you found and continue exploring at a later date!

Social media mostly or completely removes these loci of control. You are fed "content" by the simple act of scrolling down the page and what you see is often determined by an algorithm. Because the feed is always changing it's often difficult or even impossible to get back to the same "state" so there's a sense of FOMO as well.

Not a direct answer, but I can tell you I see crazily idiotic mistakes in apps all the time. I think people are hiring the lowest of the low. FWIW, I don't think AI will replace coders anytime soon, but I think it'll replace these coders.

For example, my school's laundry app. Takes 8s to load because it continually refreshes the screen while it is trying to make a connection to their portal. Even now I just checked, it logged me out, took 5 seconds to let me touch the login, I placed in my email, grabbed my password form my password manager, it clearerd my email, retyped, and now the login is grayed out. Looks like I'm currently locked out. Looking at the laundry rooms, it takes 45s to load (literally, I timed it), and then the rooms aren't in order. It'll be like A4, A6, A7, A3, A11, A9, and so on. I'm not sure it's even manually filled in because they seem to change. Plus I have to unplug and replugin the machines constantly because they disconnect from the server. The dryer is a pain. This happens enough that the cords are worn down and it is a fire issue.

Yesterday I ordered from Jersey Mikes. They have a field where you can specify instructions. They do keyword filtering so you can't place a word like "cheese" in it, because they want you to click the box, but the box doesn't let you specify what kind of cheese. You also can't use words like "extra." Employees have always understood my shorthand or leet speak.

My housing processes applications via LIFO instead of FIFO. So all the students who renew their applications a month after the deadline get approved for their housing before anyone who does it within a reasonable time.

Electric bikes are known to light on fire when charging them. Teslas doesn't cover warranty for water damage. Google Maps routinely tells me to be in the wrong lane or miscalculates the number of lanes that exist. Google drive's solution to scrolling through music too fast is to lock you out, which just results in the user picking up the phone. Mine also likes to frequently disconnect itself and there's no low data mode so sometimes it just overloads my car's infotainment computer. Classic halt and catch fire situation.

I can go on about this stuff and it astounds me. Something is fundamentally broken when we can have computers that can talk to us in natural language but we are unable to design a system where employees understand the concept of a sorted list. Not to mention that I won't be surprised when that building catches fire.

Edit: I got logged in. My username was pasting into my password because their password field is labeled as a username field... but it is also hidden... They also double charged me in the past, said they didn't, and their solution was for me to issue a clawback with my bank. These people just don't care.

I really believe a lot of people are building things that they never test and never use. Even at big companies.

My assumption is that this is not _really_ a technical question and is instead more of an accounting question. My assumption is that you'd have to come up with documentation showing everywhere their data goes within your system then you basically "super promise" (usually in the form of a legal contract) that you do delete it in all those places, and you _also_ create a record of those deletion mechanisms (e.g. recording the DELETE HTTP request you make to the S3 rest API).

That basic approach (promise in contract then record your efforts to comply) is the approach I've seen taken for e.g. CCPA-style compliance mechanisms.

Note though that what I've described isn't necessarily exactly a fit for your problem domain; nor is my description complete (e.g. if you only do what I just listed, you may have a very angry client). Just thinking out loud here.
By most standards im fairly security conscious. IE: No listening devices/alexa/google home in the house. For the most part no cameras or mic's inside (obviously cant get past the phone thing). Generally i prefer to self host stuff (ie: my security cams are local only and have no interenet access.)

That said I DID setup a public shared album to share to a Dakboard....Its also one i share with family.

The URL is so long, from a privacy standpoint its less a concern. The facial details are already on the internet due to family sharing stuff on facebook etc. None of the photos are particularly revelealing and nothing i wouldnt care if they were on a billboard...So meh. I doubt i could be targeted to find it and anyone stumbling across it wont see anything they wouldnt see if they drove by my house and saw my kids playing in the front yard. We also dont religiously post to it, so its not like anyone is going to glean we are out of town because of something we put there.

TL:DR - meh, not much a concern on my end, despite other concerns that may border on tinfoil.

Reacting to your first sentences and ignoring the rest, it made me think of my own cohort on the tail end of Gen X, where there were fewer of us following the masses of boomers and their Gen X echo.

This affects basic things like the ratio of contacts with your own childhood peers versus those of other ages. It also affects how much the media and pop culture seems to cover your interests versus others. In my experience, it was those larger groups who lived in the echo chamber, while we had more isolation or a sense of being on the outside looking in.

Could it be as simple as the anglosphere has been repeating this kind of baby bust? I can only imagine how it would feel to grow up with this sense of otherness plus the panopticon of social media. I am less certain that the angst about global warming etc can explain it. I think we had a comparable zeitgeist with the cold war and environmental concerns.

But, I can also imagine some other environmental or nutritional hypothesis for an anglosphere trend, rather than demographic experiences...

Btw what's with that crap in 2024? Alarm clock manufacturers have mostly learned to put in a slot for a backup battery for the time, why can't anyone else learn that?

My coffee maker can be programmed to start at a certain hour - with some difficulty :) - but if the power goes out it loses the clock. It wasn't the cheapest, they had enough BoM to put in something that detects when it needs descaling for example. So why the hell not a battery slot too?

It's easy to see there must be something wrong with this since if you get 10% faster 8 times, we can be sure that this doesn't mean you're 114% faster (1.1^8 = 2.14). You can't get more than 100% faster!

When you say something is 10% faster, what you mean is it took 10% less time to finish. So 19% is correct.

The article only briefly mentions the other plotline, but I always thought their contrasting viewpoints helped give the episodes depth. Sisko and Bashir (brown men) are immediately viewed as threats to society and taken to the sanctuary district, while Dax (a white woman), is seen as a victim who just needs some help. The tech business CEO who aids her is portrayed as a nice guy too, but clueless as to the true effect of policies he implicitly supported. His world is just too far removed from the homeless of the sanctuary district to comprehend what they are going through.
there are a lot of things that are at play here, networking has been a commoditised and defragmented place even now, there is a tug of war that is always happening between companies who want to commoditise like cisco and junipers who emphasise a lot on the hardware and less on software, there is no proper gui for cisco or juniper products till now. and there is linux networking with tun and tap. one good book is to look at automation of networking (Network Programmability and Automation: Skills for the Next-Generation Network Engineer) which does a good job on the history and is a latest book which goes over a wide variety of places where networking can change. if you delve into kubernetes and virtual networking it is a beast on its own !! so for modern networking just do a lab and do a packet capture and you are good to go ! learning basics gets you no where ! it is like reading how alphabets are formed but never gets you write a poem, use chatgpt when you have a doubt and move on to next topic. topics you need to look at are ipaddressing, bgp, vxlan, iptables thats it !
Just a warning for anyone considering self-treating: Ibogaine is not as harmless as other psychedelic drugs. There are a number of well-documented cases and studies of Ibogaine causing cardiac problems in people who previously had no heart issues. Some of these cardiac problems result in sudden death.

This study tried using magnesium to offset those effects, but it's not a proven antidote. Don't treat this one like people treat LSD or mushrooms. The risk profiles are not the same.
I agree with most of this but my opinion is that Trump was the symptom, not the cause.
If any of those were the explanation, you would find correlations between people with worsening mental health and those factors.

Is it worse in countries at most risk from climate change? No. Is it worse where financial security is worse? Possibly those with expectations of stable careers do better, but not at the national level from the numbers in the article. Life expectancy is not usually teens main concern, nor is debt.

I think social media and technology in general ism while important, to some extent a second order effect response to a breakdown in community This is measured in Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone as occurring after 1965-ish[1] through a variety of measures, or for example more recently measuring where couples meet in the US, [2] which were declining well before the 2010s.

The Middletown studies of the 1920s for example noticing decreased community activities such as church attendance pointed the finger at new passive and individual leisure activities such as radio.

While there's a variety of factors Robert Putnam points towards, I think income inequality and it's effect on well-being is the most under appreciated measure. Putman's measures roughly line up with Peter Turchin's[2] Inequality and Well being measures - the 1965 Great society program coincides with a measured high water mark of well being. You can also point to a lot of the measures on the WTF happened in 1971 website as being roughly equivalent.

When people have more money and time for leisure activities, they are more able to engage with their communities and form healthy social bonds. The more time people spend frustrated, screwed over and left behind, the less time and they have for social engagement and other activities like parenting.

Open Source is a system of perfect logic built on the foundation of a few flawed assumptions.

For example --- "source code" is favored over "product".

Developers operate under the flawed assumption that this somehow benefits themselves --- but the undeniable fact is that many (if not most) struggle to sustain their "open source" development over time. The most frequent and logical result over time is decline and eventual abandonment of an incomplete project.

Given that I do have ADHD, I will simply forget that I'm doing any laundry. Yeah, I can set a timer on my phone, which is what I do, but notification is more convenient.

Let's not conflate unhappiness with depression. Many a depressed person who has tried can tell you that exercise, social contact, and immaculate diet do not cure depression.

They can certainly help a bit sometimes, just like not punching yourself in the face every day while you have a broken leg helps with the pain and makes recovery go more smoothly. But it is not a solution to the underlying problems in many cases.

These things are important to everyone's wellbeing, but there are many, many people who eat like crap and don't exercise who are not clinically depressed. And there are plenty of people living with depression despite being disciplined in these important lifestyle choices.

I remember reading in one of John McPhee's geology books (collected as [1], and one of the best things I've ever read) about a particular way that diamonds can form; it had a name (like a diamond jet or a diamond burst or something) but the basic idea is mesmerizing: super-heated water containing dissolved carbon would find some fissure in the surrounding rock and explosively expand into it, and in the process it would cool rapidly and diamonds would crystallize out of the solution. I'm stuck with the visual of a seam of diamonds popping into existence in an instant, which is not what we normally think of as a geological timescale.

Other than the WebGPU folks, that is.
Hashlink seems to have the ambient concept of e.g. objects directly in its design and bytecode format, whereas e.g. wasm instead thinks of that in terms of "reference types" which represent existence of some opaque object. So there's that.

But most importantly, Neko and HashLink do not have the same kind of explicit, formally defined semantics WebAssembly has. This is a big topic but TL;DR there is a logical specification of every WebAssembly operation and behavior that all together, gives rise to a validation algorithm. This algorithm is basically a type checker, and like any type checker, it rules out bad behaviors. This validation algorithm can be run over an arbitrary WebAssembly file and tells you "yes this is valid and safe" or "no it isn't safe." By safe, that means certain behaviors are not ever possible, like stack underflow, or unstructured control flow, or that an operator is called with an invalid operand (e.g. add a string and a number). The lack of these behaviors means that when executing this program, certain isolation properties can be shown to hold -- even if the program is produced by a hostile and untrustworthy source.

That is very, very important for many use cases. Consider a browser, where it downloads a wasm file from an arbitrary server. How does it know that file was produced by a trustworthy compiler that produces correct wasm files? It can't know that. So instead it must validate the file first (according to the precise specification given by the wasm standard) before being allowed to execute it.

The validation algorithm for WebAssembly is stated in precise mathematical language, the language of type theory. And there have been several independent efforts to validate that this algorithm is correct, in machine checked theorem provers, to show that it always produces a valid yes/no answer, among all possible WebAssembly programs. Type checking and mathematical theorem proving are very closely related, in the same field, and type checking algorithms have been formalized in this manner for a very long time. So it's a well understood topic, and there is very good reason to believe the WebAssembly validation algorithm is correct and accurate (contra the oft repeated "b-b-b-but the specification might be wrong!")

If you are writing a program where the trustworthiness of the generated code isn't a problem, then you don't need that feature. For example, in the case of Haxe, you are probably producing those programs so they can be downloaded by users who already trust you, or you are compiling them directly to native executables and then giving them that. They already trust the developer to not hack their machine. In practice, some people still use WebAssembly for those use cases because it's got mindshare and a bunch of implementations, and implementing it (at a basic level) is not too difficult, and the extra security and isolation guarantees are nice to have.
