What do you mean by quality? Reliability, security, efficiency?

Efficiency has certainly got a lot worse because it matters less on better hardware - but the pilling up of multiple inefficiencies can still makes things sluggish.

With the other too I think it maybe that we have failed to make things better than actually make things worse. Software quality has stayed the same but feel it more because we are so much more reliant on software now.

Galloping furiously through the forest on my trusty steed, intent on intercepting the courier agent before it arrives in the next town with my 2AM texts to my ex...

I think it could go either way, honestly. As far as modern efficient e-mailing goes, it will simply be nice in many ways to have floating apps in the room instead of windows on a monitor, once the comfort/productivity tradeoff improves. But also, maybe when I open a real letter, my glasses recognize it as a letter, scan it into my library and blow it up into a floating virtual page, with or without OCR, maybe with additional context and history. Maybe I can choose to open a UI to respond digitally, or maybe it physically points me to my paper and pen. I can do any combination of writing a real letter or a virtual letter and sending it digitally or using the oldfashionedletters.com plugin to send out 100 cursive wedding invitations supported by whatever digital back-end is activated when the recipients' glasses detect reception of the letter. Point is, there's a unification of both approaches and they each gain new superpowers.

You're talking about novelty wearing off, but I think that might just be the difference between good and bad skeuomorphic design. Your email scenario is definitely a plausible thing that someone would make right now, and it would absolutely suck and die, but maybe it's just part of an experimental trend that will exhaust itself like that period in the 90s when every new cd-rom you'd pop in would autolaunch a unique, horrendously ugly and confusingly skinned UI that looked like it was straight out of a Cronenberg movie. It suddenly becomes easy to make a bunch of dumb shit and it takes time to see what sticks, and there's a lot of silliness on the road to best practices... but they ARE buried somewhere in there, we DO eventually get to a fundamentally better way of interacting with computers.
That's not the full story. If you read into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47, it's clearly written as an article about _both_ AK-47 and AKM. So, all sentences like "100 million belong to the Kalashnikov family, three-quarters of which are AK-47s" and "Việt Cộng soldier armed with an AK-47" - they are simply wrong. The funniest thing is, they openly admit it in the article (deep down the article! not in the lead):

>Most licensed and unlicensed productions of the Kalashnikov assault rifle abroad were of the AKM variant, partially due to the much easier production of the stamped receiver. This model is the most commonly encountered, having been produced in much greater quantities. All rifles based on the Kalashnikov design are often colloquially referred to as "AK-47s" in the West and some parts of Asia, although this is only correct when applied to rifles based on the original three receiver types

And sometimes by "AK-47" the article means the whole AK family - there's a list "manufacturing countries of AK-47", and then the list of countries follow that produce all kinds of AK-type rifles _but_ AK-47. So it's clearly a total mess.

In fact, I'm not the only one that complained about it in the past, there's plenty of complaints on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:AK-47/Archive_6 And the response always was like "we use the most common name, we're not interested in being correct here, get out".

Last release was 2014. Project is still hosted on SourceForge. Website copyright notice ends in 2018. Last commit to the github repo was 2018. Project front page mentions the original Xbox, Minix, and Zaurus (and early 2000s Japanese handheld organizer that ran Linux) and Solaris as targets.

Ignorance, by the looks of it.

A password is crackable because it doesn’t change between login attempts. Try guessing often enough, and you whittle down the probability space. 2FA is a moving target, so even with only 6 digits, it remains at a probability of 1/1,000,000 each and every time it challenges the user. Plus, the 2FA “keys” remain in the hands of the valid user, so even if the password gets stolen or sniffed, nothing can happen without the correct 2FA code within a 30-second window.

A good password is still a long password, in excess of 16 characters and ideally 32 or more, but a straight password is begging for a world of hurt in today’s security landscape. The only excuse for avoiding 2FA is ignorance, plain and simple. There is just no other way it could possibly be spun.

As a security professional, I now _avoid_ services that don’t provide 2FA, because it’s absence indicates they’re morons. Even texting/eMail “2FA” indicates an appalling lack of security awareness these days.

> the era of changing trends is more or less behind us

I find this statement very odd. Even if everything had somehow reached a state of near-perfection, the history of the web (and fashion, architecture,
etc) seems to me to be an endless series of proofs that as soon as a period's worth of designers think that the arguments have been settled and all theories have been tested, some new trend (or a resurrected ancient monster) will come along and totally upend what's popular. I think this happens if only because young designers need to rebel. Ten years from now we might be living in a new era of glossy jelly buttons or steampunk or chrome or baroque flourishes. We might hate it - but in fact, the previous generation hating it might be the point.
You usually pay four or five months up front to move into a Japanese apartment anyway.

One month thanks for letting me rent here fee
Two months deposit
One month fee to the agent
First month’s actual rent

And most contracts are two years but you can cancel with one month’s notice in the second year. If you cancel in the first year, that’s another one month penalty.

No one’s going to be renting a normal apartment for six months.
That all depends on what is in the agreement!

And this is a two way street so you have a say in what gets put in the agreement as well. I would strongly advise you to sign unless you are 100% on board with everything that is in it, and to go through some possible future scenarios (failure, moderate success, success, home-run) to see how the agreement will work for each of those situations as well as situations where regardless of the success fact you guys decide to stop working together and what happens to the shares etc.

I've seen more than one start-up crash to a grinding halt because the shareholder agreement wasn't well thought out and did not foresee the typical crisis that a start-up can go through in its lifetime.

Yes but while you can install Linux on your own, or even build your own computer if you're interested, you don't get to build a fridge or its operating system, and you most likely don't even have a valid way to see how it's configured (you may be able to hack it somehow, but it would probably void any warranty).

So...

do you upgrade your fridge OS? Maybe, maybe not. What happens if you do and an upgrade fails?

does it talk to the Internet? If it has to (by design), then all bets are off. You could try to mirror traffic and take a packet capture, but a fridge OS could easily use HTTPS over a "smart.myfridge.com" domain and you wouldn't know what's going on.

How does it even authenticate to whatever remote server they have? If it uses tokens or client certificates, what happens when they expire?

I'm a sysadmin, I know things fail. Even laptops and phones. But, while I can see valid use cases for laptops and phones, I still fail to see the actual appeal of most "smart home" appliances, outside of security systems. And I don't want to have nightmares about my fridge certificate expiration or not being able to turn your light on because my fiber connection went down.

You need to specify how many miles per year to somewhat compare since the risk is directly proportional to amount of time on the road.

In the eyes of the interviewer you are uncooperative, likely trying to cheat and they should expect similar conflicts in the future.

If you are good and don’t want to be interviewed then be a freelancer, it might be a better fit if you can somehow prove you are good without interviewing.

mimmutable, given a proper security model, doesn't seem useless. Lots of people have adopted something like this; Chrome is trying to bring it to Linux but Apple has been shipping a similar VM_FLAGS_PERMANENT for the last two years or so, which I believe even predates mimmutable making it to OpenBSD. In general, mitigations can raise the bar against attackers, but they don't have to. Determining whether it does can be pretty difficult, especially to those who come up with mitigations ;)
This. You then work to dig deeper into the vendor lock-in, to move your apps to use apparently cheaper AWS-only services, and if you're wily (or oblivious) you can report this as cost savings.

> I also wonder whether sociopathy is being normalized more or faster than before

I doubt it, bad behaviour is more likely to be called out and borderline cases probably pushed towards cooperation. Sociopathy is, I think, the condition where one can't be pushed towards cooperation by social pressure.

I think that the acts of calling people out (in addition to your point about tech empowering bad actors), just makes it seem like they are being normalised.

The funny thing here is that the "power station" market has this quite solved. Comes with an app minimum usually, which at least is a start for reverse engineering. If you're lucky you might even get a local diag socket. Unfortunately this comes with the usual IoT issues, but at least you can watch things. With better transfer hardware youd have a much better user experience for upses. I wonder why no one has done this yet.
Not in general.
Well, WIndows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and maybe Gnome 2 fit on that UI.
I really wish they'd go after Apple and Safari. Safari is basically the modern day IE. Whenever I do anything slightly weird, I'm fairly confident it works in chrome/Firefox and almost sure that it's broken in safari.

The fact that you can't test on Safari without osx is insane. Some bugs can be reproduced in other WebKit browsers (I test with epiphany) but some are safari only. Not to mention the fact that Safari is the only choice on Apple mobile devices.

I believe Apple is significantly worse than Microsoft in regards to browsers. I wish Mozilla would focus on them.
It actually makes sense to own a larger car and fridge in this case. I wouldn't have thought about this as I usually go once or twice a day to the grocery store and just buy what I currently need as the grocery is on my way to work (walking distance).
You do know that you cannont implement a fully-compliant POSIX FS with only the S3 API?
None of the scalalbe SDS' support random writes. Atomic rename (for building transactional systems like lakehouse table formats) is not there. Listing of files is often eventually consistent.
The closest functional API to a posix-compliant one in scalable SDS' is the HDFS API. Only ADLS supports that. But then again, they are the only one who enable you to fuse mount a directory for local FS read/write access. All of the S3 fuse mount stuff is fundamentally limited by the S3 API.
You just need to be as disreputable to the current establishment as we were to the previous one.

I'm not. My phone, laptop and computers all run software that I get to install down to the OS (Linux, /e/OS), and I would never install something like the ChatGPT app on my phone.

It should be possible, but they are not. Don't forget: the "S" in IoT stands for "Security".

In any case, this is not even what I am talking about. What I am talking about is the "attack" being done by corporations into your house. It pains me to hear that people are willing to give so much of their privacy in the name of "convenience" and don't even show any slight concern over the thought of having so much data going to Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and (now) OpenAI.

I don't get this line of criticism. Perl is a dynamic language and it gives you a lot of flexibility and allows you to add things you think you need.

I think there's a lot of handwaving by older generations as to the issues younger generations are having, yes. Children who try to become interested in social/political issues who realize their future is bleak are often dismisses as immature or idealistic and have their (usually valid) concerns ignored, etc.

From what I've seen the youth's complaints are usually "heard", but not recognized. There is definitely an arrogance to many positions from older generations and a tendency towards dismissiveness for too many reasons that do not address the concerns from the youth at all.

I don't wish ill on anyone, but it does seem that many of these issues that the youth are aware of and even want to change will not go away until the ideas die along with the older generations that continue to do everything to maintain a status quo that the youth have openly said "nah we're not going to do that anymore" -- often just because the older generation's have it so ingrained that there is no other option besides the former status quo for whatever reason.
