> People are assuming that some evil mustache-twirling PM/engineer decided to charge users more if they have credits in their account.

> The ML model, after much historical analysis, figured out that it can charge users more if they have credits available. The relevant engineers treated the ML model as a black box, ran an A/B test, saw a 1.3% increase in revenue, and decided to roll it out.

This is the same thing. The fact that they might be turning a blind eye to why the ML model optimised the way it did doesn't absolve them from responsibility.
While I agree to your conclusion, the correct analysis needs to look at both the expected transfer rate and the decompression speed because otherwise you might end up picking a very slow algorithm (like, literally 10 KB/s). LZMA is thankfully reasonably fast to decompress (> 10 MB/s) so it is indeed a valid candidate, though the exact choice would heavily depend on what is being compressed and who would actually do the expensive compression.

Those "demands" for inclusive training sets are a spin attempt. And a bad one at that: It does not even address the main problem. If I refuse to be judged by a person trying to evade legal review, then that situation does not improve once they promises to make their still-hidden thought process at least as biased as the regional internet spam variety plus a few fan fiction texts for which they violated my copyrights.

The whole idea of "you cannot sue me for my discriminatory practices, because I colluded with AI company X to hide the process" is a net negative. It does not matter which side of the coin is up, when I have to pay for it.

I sincerely Vite would just align with actual web standards rather than throwing in bits and pieces of their own nonsense. It’s precisely why it tends to break in seemingly unfixable ways
Yeah, I'm in the games and when I delved into this article comparing to games... it really just sounds like advertisement, not necesarily knowledge sharing. I thought maybe it'd be different for projects perhaps aimed at fellow hackers, but it sounds like it falls into the same traps of game development; treat it like PR, boost the wins, handwave the losses.

So you run into all the issues non-native ads have: you become noise and the act of talking about your product is a nuisance rather than one to build curiosity. Even for completely free games, sadly (you can thank mobile for that). the huge majority of nobody really cares about you until they do.

And tbf I get it: at least in a hacker scene you're usually trying to perform something somewhat novel and that brings in curious hackers. Games (especially indies as a business) rarely have any novel tech, especially since so many of them rely on the tech of a large engine to do the heavy lifting for you.
My 2002 MINI was ULEZ-compliant.

I agree with you. The idea that ULEZ means people must give up driving is ridiculous and overblown. It does not affect the vast majority of people at all.
Yes o1 is really good even claude could do something like this, o1 just does it faster. I have made much more complex apps using both clause and now o1 cause o1 is faster, claude took me a lotta time but its absolutely possible. very easy actually. Good luck.
Code thats written in Lisp is using AST differently. It makes the process of generating machine code much easier. This in turn enables macros which is meta programming not available in non Lisp languages. However on the other hand I tried this avenue and since most modern computing is not Lisp based it severely limits its potential. I'm hoping for a Rust based Clojure or variant. Clojure has the problem its based on the java ecosystem which has severe downsides. A lisp thats based on python doesnt make much sense to me personally python isnt a good language to write other languages in. I think Zig and Rust would be the interesting choices. One attempt: https://github.com/clojure-rs/ClojureRS

> Kids being able to be independent and active is essential to their happiness and development

Add to that growing up with a dog or cat (implies parents are well off enough to take care of said animal when the kid is a kid and spaces being responsible) and living when they can play in wild spaces (not manicured lawns), plant flowers, veg, etc. learn getting stung suks but usually not fatal. A big plus is being around livestock and as the kids mature, having an opportunity to take care of said livestock (4H program)
I think it's very weird to say that fighting should be treated the same as rape. Come on, everybody has had some kind of fights in their life. Everyone is angry sometimes and has at least the urge to do harm to someone else that they're very angry at, because they feel unfairly treated for example. And some people might actually have very difficult lives or psychological situations, and the chances for them to have such feelings and the chance for them to snap is higher.

The solution in many cases I would say is not punishment / imprisonment, but rather help, in the form of therapy or education or something. Of course some restrictions and some kind of warning and period where you are watched more closely are suitable, but it doesn't have to be hard punishment right away.

Fighting is unethical, but many prisons and law cases are much more unethical than most fights.

They didn't update their old games with 64-bit support, and in February they dropped support for the last macOS with 32-bit support (Mojave) because 98% of Mac Steam users had updated to newer OS releases. Mojave (released in 2018) hasn't received security updates in years, and doesn't support the latest CEF, which the Steam client is based on. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/macos/32-bit-mac-holdo...

They are fully dependent on Windows Games developed for Windows.

They are only working really hard not to pay for Windows OS licences.

The day they actually support native Linux games, instead of doing Windows API translation is when I believe they are actually serious about Linux games, and not saving OS licenses.
You ignore literally the sentence after which states:

"However those are extreme cases that got regional news coverage."

Yes, they're a topic of sensationalism that helps to direct public anger at the groups rather than more systemic solutions which would help the victims and expose the criminals.
Well they're not going to switch just for the sake of switching. USB-C has no capabilities that they care about compared to lightning (for phones), that's why they didn't change for so many years. It's just more compatible, and they didn't care about being compatible.

I think your argument against 1 is flawed, because I can say the same thing about USB-C, that they won't use it forever.

Or in other words, I pick (1b), they likely, not for sure but likely, would have kept using lighting until the same year they end up switching away from USB-C, whenever that may be.

In the future we might see (4) or (5). I note that you also think (5) might happen in a while, so your reasoning is compatible with (1) in the short term followed by (5) in the longer term.
LOL no thanks. I would only download it from the chrome store with legit reviews. And not paid.
Pretty sure there's some age related effects too. Over the last ~20 years I've gone from being happily able to drink coffee after dinner, through not being able to drink it after 5pm or so, and now to having the espresso machine automatically shut off at 2:30pm - otherwise my sleep quality plummets.

I'm 57 now, I started noticing poor sleep related to late night coffee in my mid 30s. I do got fairly hard earlier in the day though, I've usually had 4 double espressos (somewhere between 17-21g of beans) by mid morning, and usually another one or two before my current self imposed 2:30pm cut off.
Yeah precisely. In my case I’ve been building a Django rest app over the last few years. I started off writing way too much of my own code rather than using plugins I had no idea existed. After finally getting ahold of ChatGPT I was able to expand my knowledge of Django tenfold, and was able to rewrite the app from the ground up using proven libraries and design decisions.
I think what's interesting about reading code like this is that it's just not very complicated. You might go in there expecting to see some kind of complicated code golf or some fancy tricks to keep file size down. But as always it's just a matter of writing simple, understandable code and just being a little thoughtful.
Well, in concussions I thought it was always odd because the literal Greek word means "wound." Concussions wound, and I am not a medical professional, cell metabolism in the brain, or something like that? Basically, concussions are functional injuries and not structural. I am of the belief that many people think trauma has to be a physical injury; however trauma is anything that injures, if I am not mistaken.

> Psychological "trauma" is only by analogy, and not classical "trauma"

I see what you mean, but I am not sure it's restricted to that term or not (outside of psychology and slang).

------
Edit:

Though, I asked ChatGPT for the hell of it. It says that concussions are mTBI because the "Trauma" part describes the action in which a concussion is acquired. -- external force making contact with the head.

So, I guess I am wrong lol. I thought trauma had to cause physical damage and not necessarily be by physical means.

> and the term is rapidly undergoing its own expansion

No one ever said English was a beautiful language. Especially in its vernacular. Nevertheless, I find such uses of "traumatize" to be traumatizing.

Giving them another shot. Pentium 4 had them, but there were some skill issues on the part of programmers using them, and so code quality rose when CPUs started ignoring them.
All of this is just rationalizing, you know that, right?
Getting Linux running is not the problem. All android phones have a working Linux kernel, and could probably be made to run some kind of Linux based software if you can get through the bootloader hurdles. The issues so far with open source phone stacks are largely around getting all the hardware talking with open source software, battery life, mobile appropriate UIs and finding ways to bring the apps people expect on board.

There are many missing, I am only posting the ones related to web development:

1-) DarkReader (protect your eyes while working at night)

2-) SimilarWeb (site rank)

3-) IPWhois (registrar and IP info. Some other useful stuff too)

4-) BuiltWith (how can this be not on the list?!)

5-) Seo Analysis by WooRank (good detailed SEO stuff)

6-) Web Developer by Chris Pederick (disable js and other mods)

7-) StyleBot (edit and override CSS)

8-) TamperMonkey (Inject JS. I can't live without this and I already have over 30 scripts running)

9-) Edit this cookie (cookie editor, very useful and detailed cookie info)

10-) Clear Session (deletes per-site session info)

11-) FireShot (screenshot)

12-) MousePinchZoom (desktop mouse zoom function instead of scaling the screen. Very useful for development for checking the elements up close)

13-) Word Count (count selected text word count, useful for article SEO related stuff)

I have more semi-developer ones that are not listed here. I really use these on a daily basis and removing any would disrupt my workflow.
>> So spend all your time solving valuable problems

Just make sure that you understand the the valuable problems are marketing and sales, not code.

Writing code is not hard. (Even an AI can do that.) Building a product is harder, but that's the easy part.

The harder part is reaching people who would benefit from consuming your value. Facebook and Google offer value to you in this space, and because this space is hard they make the big bucks.

Once you've reached the market convincing them to part with money is the next hard problem.

So yes, by all means solve a problem. Build the app, write the code. That is necessary but not sufficient.

>> not posting about $$

Honestly it doesn't really matter what you're posting about. Posting is marketing. Building an audience. It's one way, and yes feel free to do what works for you. Try and be different, don't just follow the herd.

Coding is easy. Marketing is hard.
Question, how old are you? I lost the ability to be able to drink coffee late at night and still sleep well in my mid/late 30s.

Also, coffee power naps are totally a thing, I get a real boost if I drink a coffee and immediately lie down to sleep, then get woken up 25-30 mins later when the caffeine is doing it's thing. Definitely end up feeling better and able to concentrate deeper into the afternoon when I do that round lunchtime, compared to taking a nap without first having coffee.

The article mentions this, but I still find it somewhat hilarious that given the very low load capacity of this thing, it would be about 100 times easier to just put the stuff in bags that you wanted to carry. And at the point where you start being able to carry real loads it would be noisy AF.

The whole idea feels very "Juicero" to me.

If success is financial then no. But you could build a reputation from some brilliant and easy to use/integrate tech. Which is in the hacker's spirit and the backbone of so many "successful" software.

It also set forth a very straightforward "success" path: make good software that the community praises and tech companies (who probably also use your code) will climb over each other to get you on their team. But I suppose those days are slowly ending as well now that many problems (for all but the biggest tech companies) are being solved. No need for a million dollar mastermind when a 100k mid-level can do the job.
In broad strokes, yes you are right in some cases.

But in most cases you don't see quality of life improvements unless you also get users.

In other words building it is not enough. Lives need to use it to be improved.

Monetizing an app forces you to concentrate on articulating that value. It frees up resources (ie money) to spend on spreading the word. It offers you feedback on whether this is a meaningful use of your time or not.

Dont get me wrong. An app can add value to a single person. You can give it away for free. There's nothing wrong with that.

>When my account was closed by an ISP, Thunderbird (unexpectedly for me) mirrored the lack of access to the IMAP folders and deleted all my local mail. Fortunately this was a temporary issue that I was able to recover from.

This is absolutely ridiculous of Thunderbird.

That said:

1. As you said, like Dropbox, it's a local mirror, not a backup. Someone gaining access to your email and mass-deleting everything would delete your local copy too. A an actual backup of Thunderbird mail files would accomplish a backup.

2. Did your ISP somehow allow Thunderbird to log into the mailbox and gave it empty content? Or did they delete content before killing IMAP sessions? If so, it's outright malicious. Otherwise, Thunderbird shouldn't have deleted anything.

3. Having an always-on desktop box with a mail client that gets all email once a week is a lazy way to decrease the chances of being affected by something like that. Having a script that copies mailbox data into another folder (named according to date) is, well, an actual backup.
To put this in perspective, it supports up to 3kg in the demonstration. That's a fraction of what I can support with one finger.

“No secret” from a human reading it is something categorically different from a machine ingesting it en masse and retaining it forever.

You are already using “performance will be looked at later” versions of grep and find as they are much slower than alternative implementations (ripgrep and fd are way faster) and these are the one for which perf is the most sensitive in your list…

The fact that performance don't really matter for these tools in the general case is the reason while most people still stick with those slow POSIX-compliant tools when much faster alternatives exist. (POSIX-compliance only matters when using it in existing scripts, but not at all when using it in the command line or when writing new scripts)
I iTunes had a very similar "autocomplete tries to be helpful but causes chaos" bug a few years back. If you clicked to edit the artist column it would autocomplete from the list of other artists in your library. However, if your desired artist name was shorter than one it's trying to autocomplete, it would forcibly append the rest of the name from the longer artist.

e.g. if you typed "Ross" and wanted it to just be "Ross", but you have any track by "Ross from Friends" in your library, it would always append " from Friends" no matter how many times you tried deleting it.

I think there are a lot of honest people out there that just wanna make and share cool stuff. I also think the well was poisoned by grifters who wanted either clout of a quick buck. That seems to be a story that encompases the last 30 years of the tech industry as we know it.

>there are a lot of young posters who are, and I won’t sugarcoat it, hopelessly naive at times

I don't mind those people. No one really wants to mentor these days, but people LOVE to correct. I'd treat that incoming flaming as an opportunity to learn from people who'd never speak up otherwise (after inevitably discarding 80% of replies that are simply non-constructive insults).
I hope you reflect on why that is.
Maybe it’s not really your car, then. (Same with some mobile phones, tractors, etc.)
Tolerance was my only issue for the longest time too. But in the last few years I started to get mild insomnia in the beginning of the night if I had coffee late in the day. It wasn’t making me feel active or awake but just unable to fall asleep even if I was tired. So I’d spend about 2-3 hours unable to fall asleep while tired. Now my cutoff is actually 11:00 and I try not to have any after that
I just pray they never fire whoever maintains the iTunes Classic Visualizer, that thing is a gem and it still gets updates sometimes.
This is called tolerance. You require more caffeine just to reach baseline and it no longer confers any stimulation.
