That reminds me of my own pet peeve regarding anglocentric UI assumptions. Spanish naming customs are 'Given_name First_surname Second_surname' [0], such as for example Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar Caballero, whose name would be shortened for convenience by dropping the second surname — Pedro Almodóvar. The problem is too many US/Aus/UK developed UIs assume the whole world follows English naming customs, and thus would insist on showing his initials as 'PC' or shortening his full name as 'Pedro A. Caballero'. For reference, that feels as wrong as it would be to an American for a website (assuming Spanish customs) to initialise the director of E.T. and Jurassic Park as 'SA' or display his full name as 'Steven Allan'.

[0] Spanish given names may often be two-words-long (e.g. 'José Manuel') and a surname may less frequently be more than one word (e.g. 'de la Fuente'), but this isn't a necessary detail for my base rant above.

Cool idea, but I don't see how it can ever possibly work with the amount of astroturfing and frequency/ubiquity of undeclared paid advertising.

You're ingesting highly biased, sponsored, astroturfed content. What measures have you taken to filter Youtube reviews down to the ones that haven't been sponsored, and likewise for Reddit? Otherwise it's just garbage in, garbage out but wrapped in fancy, legitimate-looking packaging.
I looked at both, both seemed like mature products that do exactly the same thing but AdGuard had the better looking UI to me. It worked exactly like I expected so never had a reason to go back and try PiHole.

Oh it absolutely is cancel culture 101. It just that in this case the person isn't cancelled but society moral values have changed, and this is somehow an important hill to die on (I think not). Ie. there were 2 artists: the model and the person shooting the picture.

If they're not fine with it they can pick an alternative. One was posted in this very thread.

The woman in question and the author of the picture were also OK with it in past, right? Not like it was a case of copyright infringement?

I'm sure there are also people who deeply care about not using programs written by a convicted criminal. Most people don't realize that when they use Linux because it is hidden in plain sight. Just like the fact that this photograph is from a pornography magazine, and that the woman in question was naked (softcore still), is obscure as well. Obscure in this context also means harmless. Ie. I can show this portrait picture of this woman to my pre-puberty daughter, and it'd be completely OK. Just like running Linux kernel with code by a convicted murderer is also OK. OK, as in harmless.

My pre-puberty daughter is a great case of where I draw the line between NSFW, ie. with regards to recent terrorism in Russia and torture of suspects. Would I feel ashamed if she saw this picture of Lena? Not at all. If needed, I could tell her the context of it being a picture from a different time in our past with different society moral values (though they're still very much alive in some areas in the world).

There is also a huge difference between hardcore intercourse and a (half-)naked, posing woman. And of the former, with women who are exploited, is much more rampant on the internet. That seems to be a valid hill to die on.

Slavoj Žižek made a great point about this. He said that we have been conditioned to believe that anything is possible with technology and science (cure for cancer, limitless energy, flying cars, teleportation), and we have ALSO been conditioned to believe that nothing can change sociologically. ("The world will always be the same.")

But that conditioning is not actually true and perhaps you are exhibiting it: we actually can change things. I can already think of some things we could do:

(1) Form an economic coalition that bans the use of AI, and squeezes out AI. Actually, the general public attitude towards AI is already ambivalent enough so that this might work.

(2) Form a revolution against modern tech-controlled society. This would obviously involve a lot of things, but it could involve mass public activity against AI companies.

Not sure that's helpful advice... as looking back confirms that previous inventors a) didn't have access to today's tech and b) did use the most modern tech of their era, so that's a point on each side of the argument. What exactly are you suggesting that looking back at will answer this question?
I think you misunderstand. the problem isn't to do with the password necessarily. I want to not have a password, which is fine. however the cert I generate and upload does not work (rather, started to stop working). if the same cert is given a password (as the portal requires it), then, uploaded via the portal, the portal changes the certificate via a hidden API (I can see it via dev tools). that cert then works fine.

that's the issue.

I believe I also tried uploading the cert I generated via PowerShell (both with and without a password), and the same problem was there. It was narrowed down to 1. certs generated by PowerShell are fine. 2. The portal uses that hidden API to transform the cert before uploading it. which neither PowerShell or the REST API do.
You use the best tool and write code at the appropriate layer. I don’t think anyone suggests writing the entire application in the database (though you can with Oracle).

UI and interfacing with external services will most likely prove simpler to implement in an application layer. Google and Stripe don’t have SDKs for Postgres.

If the application needs a relational database at all it makes sense to get the most value out of the RDBMS.

Alternative view, based on personal experience - not intending to over-generalize:

1. They love maths. The subject is beautiful to them. The reasoning involved makes sense. They enjoy knowing how things work. They take pleasure in seeing how the reasoning comes together.

2. Their minds are like sponges. They are bored with school. They easily surpass their colleagues, even the relatively strong ones. It is difficult to find any challenge related to coursework (which is a major minus). Any class where there is a reason to learn something deeper or more complicated is a joy. Their interests frequently become very broad because there is no depth available.

3. Competition is interesting, but I think it is primarily because of #2.

Are there kids who "grind for glory"? Sure. I've known those, too. The people I have described above are the ones who stand out, though.

I do agree that presenting a use for complex thinking is a good thing. I actually think that creating larger programming projects is an excellent introduction to a kind of managing complexity that is challenging (and world-expanding) for many people. It's not exactly the same as competition maths, but it's not in a different world, either.

For me, the real story here is not about losing some newspaper archives. The real story here is to show how broken the system is right now. Is this even a human society anymore? Where SEO link farms and AI-generated junk replace local community history, where prime real estate is gutted by private equity firms, and all of this is done through shadowy foreign-registered businesses that have no stake in your collective well-being. And there are some who defend this as capitalism. The market decided what is worth keeping, they said. Except "the market" isn't human, and what it has decided to keep isn't something I, as a human, want to be a part of.

Based on my experience and that anecdote, I think the lesson might well be that users of existing complex software hate any change.

Maybe it was "hard to learn", but they had existing customers anyway despite that who found value of some kind, and their existing users have already not only already learned it enough to do what they need to do (and don't want to relearn anything, like all of us), but they fact that they have learned a complicated thing is a badge of honor and even (subconscious) job security.

I'm not confident the whitespace or design goals were the issue, rather than any change at all -- I'm not even confident that _new_ users would have preferred the old design.

Or if there was a really good design out there that would have worked better for most both new and existing users, which a skilled and experienced designer could have come up with after actually observing and talking to users and understanding their work well -- I'm still not confident in any conclusions about how much whitespace it would have had.

There are things which I have experienced which seem like paranormal levels of coincidence if this synchronization cannot achieve extremely long range correlation.

> By that definition pretty much any object is “dangerous.”

Fair point.

However, like any employer an artist has a responsibly towards their employees. I hate to say this, but there is an inevitable credibility attached to art artist's work that results in an employee's death.

https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/millais-ophelia-n01506

The painting Ophelia by Millais required a model sit in a bath of water for extended periods of time. From the article:

> The model, Elizabeth Siddal, a favourite of the Pre-Raphaelites who later married Rossetti, was required to pose over a four month period in a bath full of water kept warm by lamps underneath. The lamps went out on one occasion, causing her to catch a severe cold. Her father threatened the artist with legal action until he agreed to pay the doctor's bills.

At art school, this was presented to us as a romantic feature of the work, rather that the outrageous abandonment of an artist's responsibly towards their workforce.
