> 2. Heavy moderation discouraged people from asking questions.

... or answering questions.

If you answer with anything but something ready to copy/paste the moderators will frown upon it at best. No "teach the man how to fish" answers.

To rephrase in 2024 terms:

Before LLMs SO's moderation discouraged questions that a modern LLM couldn't answer (anything going into more than syntax) and also discouraged answers that are beyond what a modern LLM can generate (i.e. code ready to copy/paste, possibly wrong because neither the LLM nor the reputation chaser bothered to at least try to compile it).

But let's not blame just the moderation. Karma whores that answer every new question with a mildly related copy/paste within seconds have been a thing ever since SO grew up.
> Chernobyl has polluted a huge area which is closed off to this day and won't be able to be used for decades more.

Unless you give credence to Moller & Mousseau's contested research, Chernobyl's exclusion zone is a wildlife haven.

> Fukushima pollution is all over the Pacific.

Detectable/attributable is not the same as significant. That especially goes for the tritium releases which are a non-event.

> And dismantling is a huge cost that is often left to the state because the operators don't bother factoring it in.

The UK has the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Liabilities_Fund, and in the USA the NRC keeps track of decommissioning funding https://www.nrc.gov/waste/decommissioning/finan-assur.html .

> Americans do not care about freight rail and they do absolutely despise it.

Yeah, but those Americans are idiots (as so many of them seem to be). Idiots not caring about or despising it doesn't change the factual matter of whether it is infrastructure vital to their lives or not.
The long standing tension is "StackOverflow is a Q&A site, not a forum". A key difference is forums allowing the same topics to come up over and over again, while SO was supposed to funnel all discussion back to "canonical" questions.

And of course many people come to SO with unformed questions or want a discussion for the social interaction, resulting in them getting hit with the SO hammer. Not quite sure where they've ended up, but the obvious one is Reddit.

People keep mentioning Discord, but I've no idea how you'd actually use a programming discord in the same way as you'd use SO, because if you make a post and come back an hour later surely it'll have vanished into the flow?
>It’s just the best trade-off (for all parties, especially gamers)

I fail to see how pimping out my PC to code that no one can verify is a good deal. The takeaway is, have a separate hardware to play games on and don't let it touch anything private?

I agree with the rest of the comment though.
The more certain it seems that MH370 was a murder-suicide scenario, the less comfortable I am with the media's preoccupation with it. News reports about such events may contribute to copycats: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17750236/

> Airplane accident fatalities increase just after newspaper stories about murder and suicide
D P Phillips. Science. 1978.

> Abstract: Fatal crashes of private, business, and corporate-executive airplanes have increased after publicized murder-suicides. The more publicity given to a murder-suicide, the more crashes occurred. The increase in plane crashes occurred primarily in states where the murder-suicides were publicized. These findings suggest that murder-suicide stories trigger subsequent murder-suicides, some of which are disguised as airplane accidents.

I mean yeah, but thats why you have negotiators. List price is what suckers pay.

For now, my scope is local usage. As I am working as a freelancer, having free time to work on personal project becomes a luxury :-(

Yes, remote usage is an issue for task warrior. As I work from home, remote access is not yet a priority to me.

Come to think of it, as the UI can be accessed in LAN, maybe I can use local storage to store the data on mobile, sync with the desktop when it can connect back.

I will keep it in mind, to see if I can do it, I feel it's an interesting idea!
When you get a sailing license, you learn that if a man goes overboard, it's best to be (at east) three. One goes overboard, one orders the other never to let the overboard man out of sight and to point with his arm outstretched in his direction, and the boatman uses the outstretched arm to the man overboard. It is impressive how quickly you lose sight of someone even in light waves.

I disagree. The only time I'm actively engaging with a project is if it has a Discord server. I don't want to post questions in a public forum.
In the case of FPS, it is gone: with AI cheats which are morphing average/bad players into god like/very good players, that without being on the player system, (external, and input device man-in-the-middle or custom/modified input devices), FPS games implementing anti-cheats are doing so more to please microsoft than anything else: too be sure it won't run on linux based OSes (like "secure" boot in order to sabotage easy installation of "free" alternative OSes).

That said, you "may" have a chance at detecting it using game related metrics on server side. Because an AI will very probably betray itself at some point, "AI"s are usually imperfect like human.

Elephant in room, the more you put big brother in your system, the less you will be able to run really free operating systems. So long for your digital freedom.

Look at the abominations which are video game consoles.

It is obcene to have to pay a lot of money for completely locked/digital jail devices. It should be illegal, period. They should be leased for cheap.
I was one of the first testers of Staging Ground back in late 2022, if I remember they stopped it mid-2023. Now, I'm surprised they revived SG. Let's just say I'm not a fan of the idea or implementation.
Well one thing to hate about discord is you should use "chat server" instead. Discord is trying to become a monopoly on that (bar the corporate oriented offerings) but it's not the only option.

And yes, the usual thing: since it's not a forum it's impossible to search the history (yes they have a search button which is useless for howto type questions). It's also impossible to browse it like a forum to see what problems people have encountered before you have them and possibly avoid them, or get better insight in the stuff you're using.

So what, as soon as these things become mainstream cheating targets, anticheat vendors will force (or "strongly suggest") to hardware manufacturers that every piece of hardware has to have some sort of uncloneable TPM-style module to verify authenticity.
Especially Discord "forums", the black hole of the internet. Neither real-time so I can get my question answered when I'm there, nor open enough to find old questions through Google, nor popular enough that people browse through them to answer.

People go "oh, Discord has forums, we don't need a web forum", and the world is now a little bit worse.
Fit-tested respirators - not masks - do not allow unfiltered air in, which helps prevents the virus from entering your system at all. People need to differentiate between the generic term "mask" and "respirator".

The concept is the same, but the execution is different. As a rule of thumb, Focusmate may work well for light, occasional procrastinators, while WorkMode is tailored to the needs of lifelong procrastinators.

I'm going to mention some disadvantages of using Focusmate, but please note that I'm not criticizing their platform. If Focusmate works for you - great, continue using it. However, if you find yourself scrolling through Hacker News instead of working, you might want to consider using WorkMode.

So, here are some differences between WorkMode and Focusmate:

On Focusmate, you're connected to another procrastinator who is there for their own benefit and usually doesn't care about your productivity. On WorkMode, it's different—you work with our employee whose only job is to ensure that you're working on your tasks.

On WorkMode, there's no such thing as a "no-show." I'm a hedonistic procrastinator, and even one missed session can result in skipping work for multiple days. This can be catastrophic if you charge by the hour (e.g., many freelancers and consultants). When I started body doubling, my income rose by 2-3x, and my disposable income increased even more.

We call you every day 30 minutes before your scheduled session to remind you about the meeting. We can also email or text you, but in our experience, these methods are less effective. It's sometimes convenient to "miss" an email or a text, but it's not easy to ignore a phone call from your Productivity Partner.

On WorkMode, you always work with the same Productivity Partner. People with social anxiety appreciate this consistency. It also helps build a relationship with them. They get to know you, understand when, why, and how you procrastinate, recognize potential triggers, and help you avoid them.

On Focusmate, you're responsible for showing up and scheduling your sessions. For many, this becomes just another to-do item on their list—one they may fail to complete because, well, they procrastinate. On WorkMode, you just need to connect with us the first time, and we'll take that responsibility from you. We'll ensure that another session is scheduled, remind you about it, and call you before it starts.

Screen sharing is much safer on WorkMode. Just make sure you don't break any NDAs.
Can you name a single Linux (non android) smartphone that has good 3rd party app support, isn't buggy, isnt slow and has acceptable battery life?
There are a lot of questions that try to find out if something is still the best way of doing things or the right technical choice at the present time. Those questions feel like duplicates or opinions, but are really not in many cases. Some areas of expertise move a lot faster, answers to questions about for instance Kubernetes or Javascript ecosystems tend to be out of date pretty quickly.

At least I feel more often the need to ask if I'm making a sane choice for the next few years rather than literal `1 + 1` questions with clear ever-green answers, which StackOverflow seems to prefer.

lol I had something similar but instead of a crawler, I had WinDBG run a BSOD dump file and the game automatically closed. I forgot the game was running in the background while I trying to figure out what was crashing my system. It was a random network monitoring driver (after removing it) problem solved. But I ended up getting shadow banned. After 14 days. My account reverted back to normal. My guess, the game triggered a fail safe and closed to avoid any injection or step process read. But the fact that I was running a debugger to fix problems, it just tells me that some of these anti cheats are trash. It still puzzles me how they do not implement daily offset reset randomizer with encryption + decryption binded to the device. Anyone want to partner up and start an anti cheat service solution let me know. =)

UDP means that upper layers have to figure out if the data is shit or not. to do that in hardware limits your data types, flows and developments. Its far more simple to have a "reliable" data transport system, than it is to deal with a lossy protocol in hardware.

You could probably detect 90% of cheaters in Rust by detecting people who press DEL during in game non textual interactions. It probably would also have a relatively low false positive rate. It is however easy to evade once known.

But I think collecting all that data and sparingly using it is the best approach. You could combine that with headshot rate, etc. and really narrow down relatively reliably.
Answering everyone's specific personal questions is geared towards beginners and doesn't add any value to others. E.g. fixing your typo doesn't help the next guy understand why their code doesn't work. Explaining the general case is timeless and valuable to all skill levels. There are plenty of sites that do what you describe, but there's a reason Stack Overflow became widely known and used instead: the QA is applicable to everyone working in that space, not just that one person who asked about their specific case.

The difference is, nobody knows for sure with Apple, because they are a secrecy cult.
I doubt that free market drives people toward "greater good". What is "greater good" anyway? Can you give some examples of "greater good" and how the free market achieved it?

BTW, no market is truly free, not unless it allows fakes, quack medicine, child labor, selling humans, or other horrors of the past.
We only have a clue where it might be because Zaharie likely powered “the AC bus back up…Unbeknownst to him, the satellite communication unit starts to acknowledge the satellite again. This is his one mistake — but it’s a forgivable one, as hardly any airline pilots knew about this system feature before the disappearance of MH370” [1].

Without that, debris would only hint at somewhere in the Indian Ocean, probably.

It’s valuable to read different perspectives, and even conflicting opinions, and have them attributed. Having only a cooperative answer would lead to edit wars and would drown out minority perspectives.
I recall when I thought STARTTLS was a good idea...

Now, I know than having a transparent port and a TLS port is really important.

For many protocols, a transparent port is "enough" and crypto should actually be handled in a upper layer (like for email). But the transparent protocol should be "retarded", like for basic/core SMTP, S stands for 'S'imple.

A bad actor able to glean metadata from a transparent port can certainly do much more anyway.
I was originally monkey shakespearing ~3KB how any exposure of human skin on social media eventually leads to "that", then realized most of them don't matter. That cultural incompatibility problem only surfaces if you tried to maintain a globally unified social media.

Yes, Japanese users love to jump around NSFW borderlines, dominate social network mediascape with risque contents, hates clarifying standards, opposes that idea of harm mentioned, and rapidly develops political gadgets to support tightly PDCA'd and manually fabricated data if in any way pressured towards obsolescence. For any amount of exposure of human skin, humanlike contours or messaging, Japanese users come up with ways to sexualize that and digress fast into the depth. And Japanese content strive and dominate with unparalleled productivity, relentlessly pushing down that borderline.

It's also just Japanese.

Really, frankly, I don't think it has to be any way softened or sugarcoat. None of even CJKV guys except J show this behavior. Only Japanese and terminally Japan-influenced people do that. There's no French Battalion of Risque Artists Without Ethics that obliterates Mastodon, but Japanese content creators rapidly self-organize into one. There's an all time global YouTube Superchat amount statistics[1] kept by a Korean company, and it's, like that.

And while at it, the globally offending Japanese users don't benefit a lot from social media platforms being a planet scale unitary tower of Babel, other than that they're given a free pass to go anywhere and mess up stuffs randomly. So the rest of the world is just self inflicting harm by help spreading those locally-relevant globally-sketchy contents and influences one-way globally. I'm almost feeling sorry for a lot of what are locally colloquially known as "impression zombies", Sub-Saharan African/Middle Eastern/Indian subcontinent spammers trying to take advantage of Twitter viewcount payout program only to be hopelessly confused and devastated by Japanese content impossible to blend into or even understand, like kittens thrown into a mirror maze.

So, if the world don't want to play the game of dealing unbeatably cheap, high quality, and ethically incompatible Japanese content, the solution should be to completely cut it off. Just split the network, its operations, ethical standards, all into separate entities such as US, Global, and JP. Like laptop keyboards. That shouldn't be a wrong or unjust option.

It should be that easy.

PoW creates the illusion of solving trust, but it is only an illusion because all things one may purchase with a transaction also require trust.

At best, there's also smart contracts, which do have real uses, but they also have limited domain — you can't meaningfully digitally verify the correct delivery of a pizza, or that the pizza is correct as ordered, or that it's even safe to eat.

Legal system does all that, but if you've already got a legal system then you don't need to worry too much about trusting the bank either.
> contrary not just to the ideas of Venturi and Scott Brown but to the aesthetics of the last 150 years.

I have a half-developed theory that the reason NIMBY and excessive use of listed building conservation are so popular is that most people don't like the aesthetics of postwar architecture. They not unreasonably assume that anything new will be ugly and/or user-hostile and campaign against it.

(London managed the extreme of user-hostile architecture, a building that could set random onlookers on fire https://londonist.com/london/history/walkie-talkie-death-ray )

I also think the "decorated shed" category is unnecessarily dismissive of good decoration. St. Pancras station, famously saved by John Betjeman, count as a "decorated shed" by this categorization.

Sure, although I still think a system with less of a contrast between how well it performs 'modally' and how bad it performs incidentally, would be more practical.

What I wonder is whether LLM's will inherently always have this dichotomy and we need something 'extra' (reasoning, attention or something les biomimicried), or whether this will eventually resolves itself (to an acceptable extend) when they improve even further.
Indeed, Russia's ridiculous OPSEC has nothing to do with France enforcing its' laws. Even if this was the case, they're a few years late.
Can you expand on the disagree?

I've watched professional games in SC, CS and DOTA for decades and I definitely agree that pros are indistinguishable from a good cheater (not a rage hacker).

One of the issues around this is cheating within pros too. People that are actually good at the game, but use cheats to get even further ahead. These players are already statistical anomalies and even from an experienced player's perspective, you can't tell if they have an amazing game sense (many really do) or he's wall hacking, as an example.
