> A random app like xeyes should not be able to know mouse position at all times, for privacy reasons. (Unless you very explicitly gave xeyes super-extra permission to do that.)

The thing about xeyes isn't that its privacy invasive, is that it shows that xeyes knows what you're doing in other clients.

Got a gnome terminal root shell open? That's a privilege escalation method for any other client running on the desktop under Xorg. This itself, isn't really a problem, but chained with other attacks could be (e.g. browser escape).

The Math Bomb (S01E04): Algebra Finds Out About Its Mortality

Bloomberg is a subscription. It has ads, but they don't complain about ad blocking. Turned it off out of curiosity: these look generic.
I find it sad that so many frameworks leave the developer to duplicate server-side and client-side validation. There are obviously some things you can't reasonably validate on the client, but I'd like to see more automated ways to take backend constraints and check them on the client too.

Ideally constraints would also propagate from model definitions, so there could be a single source of truth for "what phone numbers do we accept". Some years back I tried to do this by parsing SQL table definitions, but never got far enough. Django does this, but it lacks pretty much any client-side validation support IIRC. (Or client-side anything, really...)

Not if we increase the amount of money compared to what's currently spent on welfare by several times. Or if we don't and just replace current targeted welfare schemes with UBI the people who can't actually work will just be reduced to extreme poverty.

e.g. US Federal revenue is ~$13k and spending $18k per capita and that includes everything. Even if it were somehow possible to double tax revenue with no negative outcomes it would hardly be sufficient.
I'm not in the US, and we do not punish victims by publishing their names for everyone to see while keeping the perpetrator unnamed. Our system is much better than yours, we still have a basic notion of privacy and victim protection.

Curiously, Github seems to understand that.

I am biased but I am not disconnected from the facts. I am still pissed at Ballmer with how they missed search and mobile market. They were late with Search and they were late with mobile.

With Teams it was just luck, but even then Team's growth happened years years after Ballmer and can be attributed to the multiplatform push of O365 by Satya.
Waterproofing. It really is that simple. The math would never work out trading that for easy replaceability. And every average user can get a shop to replace their battery.
I agree with this. And it wasn't just Don Mattrick. Late in Ballmer's tenure there were a lot of VPs with poor track records who weren't being held accountable (or, in some cases, were being given more responsibility). Microsoft is still feeling the impact of those people today.

I grew up in the USSR, and in the kindergarten, our teacher actually tried to convince us that the correct 5 year old kid's answer to the question, "which person do you love the most?" ought to be Lenin, and not e.g. "mom".

That said, in practice, the quality of indoctrination was extremely variable for the same reason why it was variable for everything else - most people weren't really buying into it themselves, and so even if they were in a position where they were expected to indoctrinate, they did the bare minimum that was demanded of them, which usually wasn't very convincing. I didn't get to witness it as an adult, but according to my mother, by the time you were old enough for Komsomol, very few still had their rose-tinted glasses on.

Also it’s now basically impossible to find the "usual" brands of a product if you don’t know them.

What I mean is, let’s say I want to buy an alarm clock. I don’t want a cheap one neither a luxury one. I just want to buy the medium alarm clock from usual brands you find in store but I don’t know, for a given type of product, which are the usual, reliable brands. Well, Amazon now being Aliexpress with a margin, it’s impossible. Just typing "alarm clock" in the search bar will submerge you with low quality products from temporary Chinese brands.

Workers for Platforms looks pretty neat, and I hadn’t seen it before. I don’t think it’s targeted at the low-effort CGI-like little bit of script on an otherwise mostly static site market, though. But maybe someone could build that on top of it?

Heck, one could probably even build middleware to deploy regular workers for this type of use, where the owner of the worker has no Cloudflare credentials at all and only interacts with the middleware. (Other than the origin and cache API issues.)
I don’t see the point of an exam where a 25% is a passing grade. Sounds like bad teaching to me.

For most classes: say E&M or classical mechanics there are a finite number of problems that you can work out in a 3 hour exam. So you can study accordingly.

For harder classes, we usually had take home exams. The take home exams were extremely demanding but doable. There was no way you could pass in class or take home exams with a 25% grade.

After reading all this, I think I'd still choose to do it away from the browser built in capabilities. I'd rather have full control over the process and the design than rely on the limited capabilities of browsers.

The browser is programmable; at this point they should stop getting clever about adding built-in functionality and instead just expose better ways to use the browser as a dumb UI toolkit.

I would argue that the main reason why USSR changed so spectacularly circa WW2 is because Stalin was personally very socially conservative in many ways. It wasn't just religion during WW2 - the country reverted to traditional gender roles in general in many ways, banned abortion, made homosexuality illegal again etc. Most of the early extreme experiments that really didn't work out were already long abandoned by then.

> Lack of support for the BSD lineages is a failure.

Not true. FreeBSD and OpenBSD have had various wlroots compositors such as Sway available for some time. e.g [1] Some people have even been experimenting with KDE-wayland on FreeBSD since 2021.

Wayland support on any OS is not binary because there is no single layer like Xorg. It's a matter of individual compositors and their components being ported to the OS, which is a matter of popularity, and the BSDs are always at a disadvantage in that respect, so they lag behind, same as other software. Nevertheless, they are definitely gaining support. Then again this distinction is only technical, for functional support new DEs/WMs would always have needed to be ported regardless of display architecture, the only case it would not is for an Xorg drop-in, which defeats the purpose.

> Lack of screenshots/screencasts is a failure.

... but there are many functional screencapture apps, and even browser support, I use this pretty much every week. I think you might be operating on out of date info. I'd highly recommend giving it another try, the Wayland ecosystem has come quite far over the last decade.

Doburoku: From Illicit Homebrew to Legal Microbrew
I've used napi-rs a bit ago, it's pretty awesome. That said though, the main issue is that the Rust bindings story is not always that nice. It really depends. Internally, Node modules have quite a lot of complexity, and when you try to do more interesting things you could wind up facing some of the complexity of how it is implemented.
You're right. Remember that Netflix contest where they solicited an algorithm that would make the most accurate movie predictions? It's a quaint vestige from a time before they figured out that the "algorithm" should optimize their profit rather than your media satisfaction, because those are not the same algorithm.
Yeah I have experienced all sorts of flickering and artifacts on Wayland, especially on nvidia. Recently it has gotten a lot better though.
capitalism is so that strangers with no reason to cooperate can via the market. It should have nothing to say about you network or closer relations and how you interact. Altruism has a large place in life but in general it is directed to friends and family then your larger social groups.

> Are any major sites using this method, or at least providing a way to combine sort with a filter items with under X ratings

1. Reddit's default sorting algorithm was (and perhaps still is) based on this

2. Google's internal Q&A tool, Dory[1], used it to rank questions to ask to the leadership during the "open" mic sessions.

NOTE: please don't do the same mistake.

The math of the algorithm ensures that controversial questions never get asked, since the algorithm approximated the upvotes/downvotes ratio, not votes/views ratio.

The latter was not used because, IIRC, counting impressions on an internal site was too "technically challenging".

This, in my opinion, defies the entire point of an internal Q&A, which is to address hot topics before they spill out and become an issue.

(I don't think I'm spilling any tea talking about how Q&A in Google was run five years ago; there's no secret sauce there. It was natural to ask "which questions make it to the top", and the answer was the link to the article we're discussing. Google considered it to be fair).

Even in jsx its not required to add a boolean value. Unless you are passing in a var as a prop in which case sure. But that didn't look like it was the case in these examples.
the opposite of psychological safety isn't being challenged or being chirped at or risking insult, it's the manipulative environments with a zero sum attrition games where everyone tries to align while the narratives shift. can't fix it. the way to avoid this is to be good enough at what you do so that you can afford to leave when the org turns negative-sum.

in kindergarten there were the kids who built forts and the kids who played musical chairs. if you were a creative builder, the conformity, deception, and attrition games were a demented hellscape. These games produce the conflict-averse neurotic west coast passive aggression culture whose failure mode is the constant threat of not a confrontation, but of inconsolable histrionics and mob formation.

the dynamic is that someone with authority tells a lie (commitments, roadmaps, features, etc) and then everyone tries to get in behind it. the ones who can't sustain the dissonance don't get group protection, so they get blamed and scapegoated for the failure everyone else was trying to avoid taking responsibility for and cast out. it's called "being managed out," and the rules around PIPs mean managers are forced to gaslight and torture people to get rid of them. Sometimes they're legit negative people who need to go, but without a culture where you can set adult boundaries, you're going to show up one day and wonder if your co-workers have been replaced with impostors, where really you've just missed a cue, failed to read a room, been cut out, and everyones just

This is actually a good thing because dmca in other areas like package registries are usually behind email and you never have an idea of repeat infringers.

This community oriented approach really provides enough transparency so the community can hold companies and infringers to a higher standard.

I work on one of the biggest registries and this is a huge problem for us and we are thinking of adopting this approach. Any reasons we shouldn’t?

I think people need to separate the dmca process and the ledger of dmca requests to separate criticism points.

Couldn't disagree more. Browser features can be much better at handling edge cases: disability, localisation, unusual devices, different input methods, weird screen sizes, etc... rather than hoping every developer does it right, building that in is more efficient and consistent. The common cases should be handled really well by browsers.
Casual users don't care about the app "looking wrong". They do care about the app not working like other apps on their phone, though.
I agree efficiency vs latency, but it's also "exploit vs explore" balance, work/life balance and more, leaving time for research, exploration, shooting the sh*t, decorating the office, buying christmas gifts at lunchtime, helping out co-workers etc.

I think "slack" is a much more general concept than efficiency vs latency. The slack itself allows low-latency response to emergencies but the activities that fill the slack time can be valuable in ways that often aren't legible to the org hierarchy.
