I agree with you 100%; I hate it when websites think they’re being trendy by using undraggably-thin scrollbars or try to subvert the UA’s password-manager (banks…) or naively think they can block users right-clicking or copying images.

To clarify my position: I agree that UAs should be free to show validation messages as-appropriate for the user (I.e. those popover hints) but it is because Google decided to stylise them with a very specific aesthetic/design - as opposed to trying to fit-in to the host system - it clashes more. Now, I’m not suggesting that the UA popovers be fully CSS-able, but I would like to see some kind of coarse-grain control “hint” properties - just like we have with (non-WebKit-prefixed) scrollbars, <button>, most <input> types, and more besides. The issue here is that the validation popovers are almost uniquely exempt from styling compared to all other HTML platform features (the only other exception being `title=“”` tooltips, AFAIK).

By-comparison, this is kinda like the (still) half-broken support for dark-mode: if a page is dark-themed you (probably) don’t want nuclear-flash-white UA-provided popovers stinging your eyes because there’s no validation-popover background color hint. Similarly, supposing my website makes tasteful use of serif typefaces - but the input validation popovers will be in Chrome’s own Material-design sans-serif font, while OS/platform widgets will be in some third other font by-default but can generally still be set via CSS. If you’re on HN then you’re likely bothered by inappropriate mixing of serif and sans-serif typefaces, so I hope you can sympathise.

> If we're worried about the supplier now then we don't buy from them.

This sounds just like a general argument against prenups and specifying any kind of contract penalties?

In any case: one way a supplier can make me less worried about them now is by open sourcing.

I mostly agree with most of your points.
I can't say I've ever tipped based on service and it's a hilarious and depressing falsehood that anyone believes this is what tipping is for. We tip to compensate for the owner-biased, dysfunctional society we have the fortune to be born into.

That said, I rarely eat out anymore, and when I do get food I order takeout. The obsession with service when I don't really give a damn about it has basically destroyed my desire to sit down in a restaurant and pay even more to have my water occasionally refilled. The constant "thank you"s and "how's the food" and pushing menu items on me is basically the opposite of how I'd prefer to spend my time eating in a restaurant. Just bring the food and a water pitcher and leave me alone, please!

The orbital are literally scarce resources, as are radio spectrum. If you have people just doing whatever, you'll get Kessler syndrome, especially as our orbits are filled with more satellites each year. Similarly you just can't have random folks blasting out radio signals at random.

Yes, satellites are robots. However, they have no agency. Incentive structure decides if we have kessler syndrome, which then direct humans to solve problems with robots.

So, yes, they are either directly analogous to or are literal form of land.

> exploitative

I worked in restaurants, and let me tell you, I never felt exploited in tipped positions. If anything, I felt like lucky at least compared everyone else in the restaurant industry. The real exploitation happens in the back of the house…
Reminds me of his visit to my undergrad. He had a niece or nephew or something (I never met them) who went there, and he was going to visit them. The university planned what amounted to a large science fair to showcase all the projects around and everyone was required to put something together. The day came, he walked in, made a beeline for his relative's project, talked to them for a minute, then hurried right out. My mentor ran after him trying to get him to take some merchandise.

In retrospect it's pretty obvious there was a big miscommunication, and he didn't really seem rude about it (supposedly he did talk to a project they put outside the hall because it used a Kinect IIRC). It really wouldn't surprise me to find out the university told him we just so happened to have this research fair going on the day he'd be visiting.
Its the cycle of life and the people at the top win either way.

They export all industry for short term profit, the people whose lives are destroyed are then exploited further(all good property is sold at fire sale prices, they are sold drugs to cope with the pain,are sent to war because the military is the only good employer) until they revolt, they elect a demagogue, disaster finally erupts among the population and the people causing this mess go elsewhere to wait it out(EU, Israel, New Zealand, the Bahamas etc.) until there has been enough of a destruction, industry is painfully rebuilt and then the cycle starts again. The people making the decisions never got hurt, never will suffer any consequences of their actions and will continue to play chess while everyone else plays checkers.

I know several people who play games like this. They have like 3-4 citizenships, they buy up as much property as they can, own assets and even give up their US citizenship for tax purposes to then intend to buy it back with an investor visa when they decide to retire in someplace like Montana.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but regarding Python winning data science, I think that's in large part to a) Anaconda creating a single cohesive alternative ecosystem, shunned by engineers but loved by data scientists who just want to get things done, and b) the fact that with a couple of major libraries/frameworks you can get most things done, Pandas, Numpy, Sklearn, maybe a few others, meaning there's less dependency management to do overall.
My point was the accelerometer would not be enough to expose what is happening. Imagine a centrifuge large enough that you can't determine the angle.

Tipping culture is just an unfortunate mess.

Restaurant owners love it because it hides costs from customers and allows lower pay for workers (it does do both of these things very well).

Workers "prefer" it because they have stockholm syndrome'd themselves into thinking that drawing a smiley face on receipts will get them higher pay (it won't.)
>the way tail calls work in functional languages comes to mind

tail call optimizations are useful as optimizations.

But in a language like scheme, tail calls are required to be implemented as loops. If you don't do that, then people can't write code that relies on it. Scheme treats tail call handling as a semantic, not as an optimization.

Not to your main point, but I don’t think it’s fair to say Rust “botched” its async impl.

There are certain features it’s missing, but nothing about the design really prevents them from being added. And many have been in the past few years.

I’d point to the “leakpocalypse” as a more fundamental Rust flaw.
I don't know what to tell you. Georgism was contemporary to the industrial revolution. The book Progress and Poverty, as described by wikipedia "investigates the paradox of increasing inequality and poverty amid economic and technological progress"[1]. That sounds especially relevant to our time.

So, yes. Wealth means "land". Especially so in the industrial revolution.

Not that big of a deal, grand scheme of things - accidents are rare. It's just that our tolerance for risk has gone down a lot over the last 50 years - likely because of decreased other-cause mortality. When children were dying of disease, the relative risk of a car accident seemed small; now (with a safer world), it seems proportionally bigger.

There's roughly 1/366,000 chance of getting into a car accident on any given mile driven (not a great thing to average out, but still, back of the hand calculation). I'm sure that adjusting for weather conditions could get that number down further (if you assume good weather).

Let's say feed a child over the course of 10 miles: 1/36,600 chance of anything happening (hypothetically). Sure, if you do it every day that would be different - or if you live in an accident prone area that somehow skews the estimate. But the absolute risk, while there, is small.

In many cases it's kind of like texting while driving - it surely increases risk, but it can't increase it a crazy amount given how much texting while driving we observe with only a slightly elevated accident rate. But on a nationwide scale, every accident is a tragedy.
Neither is stiffing the customers to the tune of 15-20 percent.

I don't really agree with this. I go and hang out with my friends, and we don't all end up getting outraged about stuff. I go for a walk in the park and no one is shouting at me; I go to a restaurant and people are sitting around normally discussing whatever. If you start quoting outrage bait that you read online, people might look at you strangely.

My point is I don't think people seek out outrage. Social media's algorithms may not explicitly reward it as transparently as `if (post.outrage > 100) post.boost()`, but outrage isn't some default rule of interaction.
I suppose offering constructive criticism rather than beratement (is that even a word?) does require some minimum level or maturity. As does acknowledging the difference from the receiving end.
Hi Andrew, just wanted to me and my family really enjoyed Voyage of the Marigold! It's such an excellent little game. We played through it a couple of time, each time discovering new things. Thank you for writing it.

I've played Star Trek: Resurgence a couple of months ago, and I must say I enjoyed your game much more than Resurgence, which is incredible considering that it was written just by you. IMO your game stays very close to spirit of the classic Trek I grew up with.
Checked my whatsapp and tg, both use absolutely native inputs. The selection handles & menu, the hold-spacebar movement, the hold-to-magnify feature on ios is the same as everywhere else. If that’s not native, they did a great job for nothing.

It really depends on your specific needs (your prescription, tolerance for dryness, cleaning preferences, etc.). Any optometrist would give you trial pairs to test out before you buy a multi-month supply.

In general glasses would probably be a lot more comfortable for extended time in front of a computer. You might also want to consider Lasik, SMILE, or implantable collamer lenses (ICL). ICLs in particular can be reversed while the other two cannot.

I think Swift has been strangled, but I'm not convinced it's because of its governance structure (with Apple at the top). I get the impression that Swift is the world's best sandbox for programming language nerds to play in—and that Apple is woefully understaffing the team writing technical copy for the compiler (e.g. error messages), and the documentation.

The rate at which the Swift language has changed just in the past 3 years feels as significant as the rate at which it changed between 2016, with the release of Swift 3, and 2022.

I'm sure that people who are 100% all in on iOS development feel like the rate of change is delightful, but for the rest of us who have other responsibilities, it's exhausting and bewildering.
I think they already have a setting for choosing your AI provider on beta versions of iOS 18, so they’re looking forward to avoid lock-in.
Python got adopted by academics around ‘10, because it had lower barriers for new programmers than Java (now legacy) and C (now a specialization).

The language and tooling options of today mean that the initial reasons for academia embracing Python are long gone. Python now presents more barriers to new programmers than alternatives.

I agree. It’s a shame that the machine learning community has married itself to Python, since it gives Python a staying force that it doesn’t really merit.
Why would you though?

Differentiating by hand is not difficult at all, and graphing a curve and its derivative is a really good way to teach what a derivative actually is.

Integration is harder, obviously, and it is a pain point for sure. Even the idea that an integral is the area under the curve is clearly not trivial to students.

But I don’t see a clear benefit trying to avoid integration. Integration is more difficult, so it should be pointed out as such, but then it’s still really useful to know how to do it…
The phrase "Tibiwangzi" (Character amnesia) was popular long before the digital age. Back when I was a child in the 90s, middle-aged and old people often found themselves unable to recall specific characters.

I somehow kept the habit of handwriting for years. But as a guy in my early 30s, I do notice characters fade away from my brain from time to time, which wasn't a thing at all in the 20s. And to my surprise, some of the characters are fairly frequently used - I was just completely stuck when I was trying to recall them.

Probably that's how brains and organs peaked and will slowly break down over the following decades just like hard drives.

I don’t necessarily disagree with the article but I think the language is in a much but better place than it was a few years ago, with a few exceptions. As the author points out, Foundation and a bunch of frameworks and libraries are being open sourced and maintained by Apple and the Swift foundation which are all cross platform (including Windows and Linux).

The static concurrency checking stuff is cool on paper but has so far just introduced noise to our codebase so we’re not touching it until it cooks a little more.

I’m basically asking for the same thing I was 5 years ago though and the author touches on, fix the compiler issues.

Official Android support would be nice too but the community is filling the gap there.

I use Rust a little on the side and tooling, compiler messages and ecosystem are far ahead of Swift. Language wise I still prefer Swift for the work I do.

Macs have had internet recovery even in Intel days (command+option+R). On Apple silicon they also have a nice erase process which quickly erases (effacable storage) as you describe but doesn’t quite as quickly install. In my experience DFU (or recovery) is faster esp if you have the macOS image pre downloaded. I usually opt for that even if not strictly necessary and firmware is not bricked.
