Both systems have grown too much and are too complicated. At some point someone will replace it with something easier.

I used countless ID providers and while they offer a very valuable service, the flows are too complicated and many implementations have a lot of security flaws because the users don't understand the implications.

The implicit flow was trying to make it easier.

They're joke of tram systems. Yeah, for (West) Germany Munich is an exception, I guess (and I should have added it), but look at cities like Hamburg, which got rid fo their tram network completely back in the day [1]. To say nothing of very big European cities like Paris, London, Madrid or Rome that are (almost) totally lacking in that respect, and I'm not counting the light-rail thingie, I'm talking about trams that actually go to downtown and to many, many other areas, like a spider web.

This is the Paris tram map [2], it's a joke, to be honest with you. Yes, I know that the metro is supposed to be a substitute for that, but the metro is at least an order of magnitude (if not more) more expensive to operate and it's not the same thing as a tram, where you just pop-in and pop-out while seeing the actual daylight through the tram's windows.

Later edit: For comparison, this is the Vienna tram map, i.e. the spider web network I was talking about [3]

Whoops, meant to link to qsv https://github.com/jqnatividad/qsv
Python library for building with Computer Use Agents
Since the title is rather vague, this is the start of a series about building a TCP/IP and Ethernet framing stack from scratch for a microcontroller. The author uses a chip (W5100) which can handle TCP/IP itself, but also supports handing it pre-built Ethernet frames, although the chip handles the preamble and CRC calculation. Most of the article is about trying to communicate with the chip itself, and sending a test packet (which I'm guessing is hardcoded, although it's not called out in the article).

(I was hoping it would be about bit-banging Ethernet on some improbable bit of hardware.)
Being out of touch is what destroys the US. You operate in imaginary world that is shattering and whataboutism is not a good argument. If I say compare the civilian deaths in Ukraine and Gaza you will give me rationalization, if I tell you to look at how hypocritical the response by the US was on Gaza and Ukraine you will give me sime nitty gritty details that somehow makes this OK.

None of that matters, US is no longer the force for freedom or democracy or anything really. I'm sure the leftists will say that this was always the case but the disillusionment has gained mainstream steam. Its possible that with Trump a new story begins but this story is going to be about high status men doing great things, which is a fascist theme and always ends badly.

I find it very ironic that British people didn't complain much about their government for 10 years. Now everything is the government faults haha. Gotta name those Tories.
Readers who are unfamiliar with SST would do well to read a bit about the project, the backing company, and the work they've been doing. Things have come around full-bore from serverless-only on AWS via CDK, putting huge effort into trying to make CDK fast and seamless, realizing they needed to support more than AWS and that CDK/CF are just too slow, transitioning into a Pulumi backend, supporting other clouds, and now, containers.

SST is great because they built a model for infra-as-code that gives sensible defaults out-of-the-box while preserving enormous flexibility as the architecture grows, plus great conventions around giving code access to the environment details via bindings.

Super excited to play with this.
There was even a situation where they sought revenge. There was one person that was allegedly a retired 70-yo poacher, And a herd stomped them to death. Then at the funeral the elephants marched in and threw the corpse around. Then they singled out and destroyed that person's home. The destruction and collateral damage was surprisingly minimal, so this was an extremely targeted attack.

So yeah, elephants truly never forget. And some will make it their life mission to right the wrongs.

I don't mean to point fingers but it's telling that OP talks about maximising salary, while you talk about minimising effort.

I'm not interested in going through the gauntlet either, but these things are surely related.
I often muse over there not being a VB-alike approach for Python.

It would surely be reasonably straightforward to automate the creation of the GUI boilerplate code from a form designer, and then within an accompanying IDE hide most of that code from the user, only making the specific parts visible that correlate with different UI interactions?
> "people are poor" - maybe, I've not looked at any stat so I'll believe you.

There are many people that depend on social welfare, but nobody is starving and there's lots of public housing and free healthcare. We certainly have no slums.

I think the non-humans animals that are most like us physiologically are: chimps, bonobos and orangutans.

Saying that we are "nothing like chimps" is thus plain wrong.

Interesting post. Thank you. Agreed Wells should be read widely. Szilard actually became very concerned about world peace after new with Wells and tried to stop the non being dropped after learning Germany did not have it. This is a warning to what we build today.
Pretty sure most Apple Intelligence features aren’t released yet and the few that are were released like 2 weeks ago.
VB6 made writing Windows GUI applications very easy (on screen form designer), particularly when interfacing with COM libraries written in languages such as C++. No-one would use it if performance was an issue. Better was Borland's Delphi, with much the same features, but that ship sailed long ago.
Apple is probably the world's best marketing and logistics company. They're a consumer electronics company second. I don't even like the taste of their marketing, but there is no doubt that they have been able to create this cloud around them that makes their proponents completely engrossed in everything Apple does.

In my experience, it is quite striking when you realize the lack of knowledge people in the Apple ecosystem have of other computing environments. And the idea that Apple is probably the most draconian company when it comes to product design, behind the scenes logistics and business dealings, customer feedback and interaction, open source squashing, etc. but yet still maintains this ora of the "just works" (spoiler: it doesn't) and cool vibes company is beyond me. They effectively fleeced their consumer base for hundreds if not thousands selling them overpriced dongles that were intentionally designed in, and not only did people just go with it, they seemed to lap it up.

I don't understand the downvotes, I don't find your post offensive. My guess is that people don't downvote to moderate, but rather to show that they disagree. Which unfortunately kills the discussion a bit.

I like Java (but I love Kotlin), and it seems like work on the JVM is more active than ever. I can understand your preferences, but what I observe e.g. with Desktop apps is that people use Javascript and embed a whole browser with it (e.g. ElectronJS). I would always prefer a JVM desktop app. Also with modern UI frameworks (including e.g. Compose), I am really hoping that the JVM will get a boost for Desktop apps.
Sounds complicated and distracting. Just do what a lot of us do: Sit and shake one of your legs frantically and shift position every 5-10 minutes instead. You'll never sit completely still and your blood is always flowing. Helps to think as well.

Obviously you should still walk and stretch every now and then, but no need to approach it like a Pomodoro timer of distraction.
I love two stories about elephants.

The first one involves a group of elephants who formed a circle around their caretaker's home for a couple of days to grieve when he died.

The second one involves an elephant who's shot at his head for poaching, he ran away to where forest rangers camp is, and just laid down to be taken care. The elephant survived.

Animals are complex creatures and see, hear and know more than we think. We should stop acting so boneheaded, IMHO.
When making my own text editor the text rendering was the bottleneck. I used web canvas fillText for text rendering. Tried to make my own text render using bitmaps but couldn't beat the "native" text rendering. So I wonder if it would get any faster with this method in webGL. For example re-parsing the whole file so that the editor can get a semantic understanding of the code - is many times faster then rendering the text. And I discovered that coding with 240 fps feels very nice! When you push a key and the you can see the result the very next frame.
VB6 is a terrible, quirky programming language, and it’s a pain to debug, especially if you’re used to modern development tools.

Microsoft killed it to push .NET (although originally, VB.NET was promoted as the main GUI language). People went to .NET, but also chose the "adult" language of C# along the way. Also, WinForms isn’t deprecated (it was in maintenance mode for some time, but now it gets some new features).

Language history aside, browser-based UIs are easier to develop and deliver, so they won over desktop applications.
> For example political polling, data point in time surveys, census, etc. Without verification, what good is the data?

Political polls are regularly wrong https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj4ve004llxo

In my country, supporters of one political party seem a lot more likely to tell polling companies they're "undecided" - so the pollsters try to adjust their predictions, based on what they've seen in previous elections.

But the problem is getting the adjustment right is very difficult. The political landscape can change a great deal between elections. If John McCain and Donald Trump appeal to very different sets of voters, why should voter behaviour observed with McCain hold true with Trump?

I have a standing desk, but probably put in that mode maybe 5% of the time. The biggest improvement for me was getting an excellent chair. Due to preexisting health issues, I have very bad lower back pain. Can't really sleep for long or do much involving leaning over without pain. However, despite all the memes about extravagance, the Aeron lets me sit for hours without any issues. (standard chairs not so much)
Looks neat, covers off a couple things I dislike in other apps - nice work!

A couple meh things:

2. Why does the app need my contact info?

Cool stuff though, and I hope it helps you get your other projects done :)

The NYT probably produces 10x as many words as it did in 2015, and 50x as many as 2000, and 100x as many as 1980. These charts don't give any sense of if they are reporting frequency divided by total words or just frequency. I suppose the KKK and AIDS examples indicate the former but it isn't clear.

Additionally, the y axis seems to be from 0 to 1: least popular years vs most popular year. This means every graph has a different Y scale. Very misleading, imho.

Also, it is interesting to look at some of the words in Google ngram viewer for the same period.

Both IP and UDP call their packets "datagrams".
Many ways to do that on Android. NewPipe or its fork Tubular, Clipious, LibreTube, or host a local instance of Invidious or ViewTube and access them using the browser.

F-Droid and the ability to still run software outside of Google's walled garden is the last remaining reason preventing me from switching to iPhone. I've tried Yattee on iOS and it's okay on Apple TV but seriously doesn't come close to the power of Tubular on Android.

I was thinking of the ISS too...

We were promised flying cars and I am sure Elon Musk was promising cheap, affordable space flight. I thought the article proposed an overly elaborate solution and that you could just sleep under some type of mesh that was able to dim the light from the phone and be seen through.

But really the best way to solve the problem is to sleep on the ISS in 'zero gravity', commuting there on a daily basis.
Having recently joined a company using C#, and with a background using Go, Python, Node, and similar, I was worried about heavy "enterprise-style" APIs. I was happy to discover the new minimal web API while reading .NET Core documentation.
For a human, it could be considered a developmental milestone.
More than once I was brought to fix some customers low-code applications, when they reached those edge cases no citizen developer even thinks about. Or just grow to handle more data than the initial thoughts. Did you know Power Apps can fetch a maximum of 500 records only? Which you can increase with an obscure setting to 2000, but that's the absolute maximum? Do you think the citizen developer reads those specifications?
This is problematic for sure - it seems that the AI labs are getting their acts together on this - it is quite irresponsible of science to use these generated images, for sure they must add a disclaimer
To say a better C means it is clearly influenced by C, not that it was intended to replace C in all contexts, but that it's a compiled language in the C tradition which extends C idioms/syntax, adds a good standard library, better strings etc without losing the simplicity which made C attractive.

Just as C++ intended to improve C but went in a very different direction and added a lot more. Crucially, it doesn't add inheritance as C++/Java did, which I think is an interesting choice which I find quite pleasing and avoids a lot of horrible architectural decisions and vast inheritance trees.

There are certainly lots of bits I would change having used it a while, but I find it quite useful to work in and far more like C than say Java, Ruby or Python which it has supplanted more than usage of actual C. Not sure one of the goals was to supplant C usage and that was not at all what I meant to imply.
The next big improvement would be infinite context and answer, keeping the same quality. I don't think anything besides this will be convincing. A real GPT5
Lol, that's amazing, as soon as it loaded up i was laughing at how accurate it was . So many memories from simpler times coding as a kid.
I work in low-code and make a tool so I know this area fairly well. I can't think of any proper product made with no-code tools now but I can think of many that started with low-code and I imagine you can too. Think of every internal application that started as a spreadsheet, or a single web page, maybe even static.

What I tell my potential customers is, that it's a pyramid of effort vs exploration. At the bottom you have a wide base of possibilities you want to explore, at the top of the pyramid you have a proper polished product. What low-code allows you to do is try many more experiments at the bottom and to maintain them at cheaper cost. Most will stay as internal tools and never become a real product but some will.
For example my tool is letting data analysts in crypto firms built out internal trading controls, trade monitoring and alerts within days and weeks. The happiest customers I have are ones that were about to hire a UI guy. It let's them delay that hire. Then when they want to provide end client interfaces or seroiusly improve a low-code version to a separate polished app, they hire the UI expert and even better the UI person can see roughly what is needed.

The alternative isn't always between polished app and low-code, it's between apps that may never get built and low-code.

They may know that particular fox.

Crows can identify singular persons, hold grudge against them and disseminate the information around to make sure that particular person has a hard time [0].

Magpies are also very smart birds, aggressively protecting their nests and offspring from cats and other threats. So they may have identified that fox somewhere else.

Also, IIRC, magpies and crows are somewhat related.

Your initial post in this thread naturally raises the question of whether or not anti-sodomy laws in the US should be enforced. I understand that you don't agree with such laws, but your post is open to the interpretation that you think they should nonetheless be enforced. I think it's perfectly fair to ask you whether or not that's your position.
> byoyomi has all but been replaced by Canadian Overtime

Note that this is from 1997. It was common to use clocks in Europe that were unable to do proper Japanese style byoyomi and we did not have one timekeeper per board in tournaments. When I run out of time we paused the clock, I put for example 15 stones in front of me, closed the stone box, set my the clock for example to 10 minutes and start playing again. I would lose if I ended the time again with any stone left in front of me.

Clocks that could do byoyomi, and multiple rounds of it, started to be widespread not much after those years. I think we used them in the European Championship of 1996. A common byoyomi was 30 seconds per move. If I had one euro per each time I heard a clock saying "30 seconds one time" I'd be rich.

Happened in the UK too with PawPatrol snacks a while back.

"At the time of writing, the desktop website — appykidsco.com — loads either a blank page with a message in Chinese containing search engine keywords or an error message. But when the website is opened from a device with a smaller screen, such as a phone, the website displays as a holding page with numerous ads containing animated explicit and pornographic images."

You completely missed the fact that this is built using Avalonia, which means that you can run this on desktop (win, linux, osx), mobile (android or ios) AND browser (using wasm) with almost the same codebase.

I cannot use it - it requires a login from school or other institution.
C# and TypeScript are remarkably similar owing to having come from the same designer. But even before then, it seems as if the two languages influenced one another.

> Animals (and humans) evolved play because it has evolutionary benefits

I know the turn of phrase is popular even amongst biologists but I still think it’s weird to put it this way.

Evolution is a dynamic feedback loop on a multi-generational time scale. Plenty of neutral things can be transmitted for a long time without being culled out by evolutionary pressure and social behaviour can remain for a long time without being genetic at all.
The real VB6 IDE would report errors like this at compile time.
Can you easily make a Desktop app in Swift (I guess Python, Go and Rust don't fit your criteria) and distribute it to all platforms?

I think anything JVM (be it Java, Kotlin or Scala) would be very good there. A lot better than ElectronJS.
My favourite thing about the DLC (which I have yet to finish) is how well it integrates into the main game. It's "just there", and you can go play it if you look specifically for it, or leave it.
If by that you mean "is IaC production-ready yet?" my answer would be yes, I have lines like this in our code-base and it is really impressive.

This is an application built on Avalonia. You can compile it into a desktop application if you want (https://github.com/BAndysc/AvaloniaVisualBasic6), but because of the framework you get the web version for free.
