It's advocacy. People want to remove the influence the owner has on public discourse. Advocacy, like strike action does things which have short term pain because of a belief in a goal.

Also, we implicitly make these choices all the time, by not listening to Fox, or Pravda, or Al Jazeera or a host of channels, by chosing not to pay, not to bypass the pay wall.

I do not disagree that it seems extreme. It's dichotomous behaviour to me. But, it's human, and normal. I don't personally think everyone who remains on X is evil or against my world view. I just find I'm happier off it and ignoring it.

(I'm sure you know this. I'm not trying to school you, we're just making observations from different sides of the fence but the fence is there and we're in agreement about that if nothing else)
This has been getting less and less true since the Industrial Revolution.

how so? what do you think is the breakdown between say working people in the USA (excluding gig-jobs cause you know…) who are W2 vs. 1099 and/or business owners? 99.78% to 0.22% roughly?
> This version of the web wouldn’t require users to learn advanced computer skills in order to participate.

The web doesn't require "advanced computer skills". (Unless you use non-flexbox CSS alignments ;) It is fairly trivial to create basic HTML files. SSG + MD have removed a lot of the remaining obstacles. Most web sites are structured files, just with a "compiler" and possibly a database to store the files.

But what they still do require is the ability to reason about structured data and its best configuration. And that is the truly hard problem, ever since Ted Nelson first talked about it.

It also requires us to reason about how to best make that data consumable for humans. It doesn't just magically "arise from the structure", as much as I wish it did. The web site is a clear example - the lack of understanding how humans consume info, and what helps/hinders, leads to odd boxes around each paragraph.

I still agree with the fundamental idea. The more structure we can encode in an easily graspable way, the easier it becomes to impose structure.

But even then, the fundamental advantage of the web over hierarchical file systems is the non-linearity. And yes, correct, hierarchies matter, but the fundamental point the article misses is that there isn't just _one_ hierarchy. Wikipedia is a great example here - it fundamentally cannot be expressed in a meaningful way as a tree, even though it has many hierarchies.

And hierarchies alone are insufficient. We've now learned, thoroughly I think, that hierarchical taxonomies always break down. If we're given to snark, Linnaeus took a good stab, he failed. In more practical terms, the emergence of "tags" has shown that we need a way to have non-hierarchical cross-cutting data.

I think for a discussion of the subject, there's value in separating a few topics:

* Presentation. The author is right, HTML made a grave mistake including that

* Local representation. Again, agreement here, giving a file system structure that allows to infer meaning for later presentation is super helpful. (See point about SSG/MD)

* Organization/Navigation: Any sufficiently complex set of data requires several separate overlaid structures to help humans navigate.

* Human psychology: We're bad thinking about relation schemes beyond trees & grids. That means our organization schemes need to mirror them at least partially so we don't break our head. Corollary is that any sufficiently complex set of data needs searchability.

There's probably more. It's a topic that's been brewing in my head for a while, you're getting a very rough first draft, sorry :)
Do they also fail the self-propagation test?

Leveson's fantastic Therac-25 paper is probably the most important document in the formative years of my young sweng career.

I still re-read it every couple of years, and it's held up a lot better than one of my other early favorites, which was Feynman's appendix to the Challenger report. In the sense that I still draw new thoughts and realizations from it as I re-read it with additional experience in some of the engineering and organizational disciplines it touches. Sad as it is, it's got a little bit of everything.

It's definitely got my vote for the I Ching of critical systems engineering.

Spend the time. Chances are you'll remember it.
I don't know about the third parties getting in on it, I guess that's just milking what can be milked (which also makes videos longer); but I can totally see why Path of Exile players keep making memes about it.

Imagine someone saying they're a master programmer, one of the top guys ever. Then they open notepad, type something that doesn't even make sense as pseudo code, close the window, click "no" when notepad asks to save, say "as you can see it's already compiled" and click some icon that's been sitting on the desktop all the time, starting a screen saver.

Or imagine Musk claimed that he speaks Chinese perfectly and spent 20 years in China as English teacher, and proves it by having a conversation with a stooge, where Elon Musk asks "ching chong ping pong?" and the other person response in Chinese, only for Elon to repeat "ching chon ping pong". 50 times, after which the stooge thanks Elon for having given them something to think about, while his fans just stare, deeply impressed.

For people who know why that is funny, they instantly see it, and it's just too funny. But I can see how it's just a big nothingburger for people who aren't into the game.
A platform that lets people find the "best" of anything through community voting
I was tired of reading 47 blog posts just to find a password manager so I created Bextora - a platform that lets people find the "best" of anything through community voting instead of affiliate-driven blog posts.

*The Problem:*

We all Google things like "best password manager" or "best way to learn coding" and end up opening 10 tabs of blog posts, each saying different things and clearly pushing affiliate products.

*The Solution:*

A platform where:

Every question starts with "Best"
Community adds and votes on options
People explain their votes
No affiliate links, just real votes

*Launch date:*
Soft launched today

*Growth Strategy:*

SEO (each question = natural search term)
Community-driven content
Share/voting incentives

*Revenue Model:*
Still figuring this out. Considering:

Sponsored placements (clearly marked)
Ads

*Looking for:*

Feedback on initial concept
Ideas for monetization
Growth strategy suggestions
Early users/testers

Would love to hear your thoughts!

If youre fine with older cars look at a toyota avalon. The ones they made until like 2013ish. They are fantastic luxury cars and you get that toyota insurance cost. If you want something newer they JUST discontinued the newer gen avalon in place of the crown (there's also a crossover version of the crown)

Look at who is president, or who is in charge of the biggest companies today. It is extremely clear that intelligence is not a part of the reason why they are there. And with all their power and money, these people have essentially zero concern for any of the topics you listed.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that if artificial superintelligence is ever created, all of a sudden the capitalist structure of society will get thrown away. The AIs will be put to work enriching the megalomaniacs, just like many of the most intelligent humans are.

That is also why the second round of such diets fail. First round you are eating less. Second round you start be finding the recipes for the "whatever diet" brownies and those tend to be just as high calorie and so you don't lose. Nothing wrong with a brownie once in a while. Even if you are overweight - so long as most days you don't each such things and so are on a calorie deficit.

I don’t usually keep the factors, but I have a variety of techniques. Putting aside the trivial cases of divisibility by 2, 3, 5, 11¹ and 37², a lot of it comes down to find ways to make the numbers smaller, so, for example. my current odometer reading is 13,857. To test for divisibility by 7, I can turn that into 14,000-13852=143 which I can tell at a glance isn’t divisible by 7. It is divisible by 3, so I can reduce it to 4619 which isn’t divisible by 3 and I can also tell it’s not divisible by 11. I can also rule out 19 at a glance. To check 13, I might do my right-side divisibility test where I start by subtracting 39 from the right, which gives 458. I could continue with that, but taking 39 from the left gets me to a small enough number faster of 68 which isn’t divisible by 13. Right-side divisibility for 17 takes 119 from the right leaving 45 which isn’t divisible by 17. For 23, I can do a left-side removal of 46 to rule that out. 29, go right to bring it to 459 and then 43, not divisible by 29. For 31, I’ll do right side to get 434 and then 31 so 4619=149×31 and 149 is prime and I’m done.

⸻

1. To check for divisibility by 11, subtract the sum of even numbered digits from the sub of odd numbered digits. If 11∣n, then you’ll have a multiple of 11. E.g., for 13,857, we compare (3+5)-(1+8+7)=-8 which is not a multiple of 11.³

2. To check for divisibility by 111, we take advantage of the fact that 3×37=111, 27×37=999 and thus 1000≡1(mod 37) and we can then add up the digits in groups of 3, and pull out the most convenient multiple of 111 to see if we have 0, 37 or 74. E.g., with our example about, 13+852=865-888=-23 which is not a multiple of 37.

3. As an added bonus that number is the remainder when dividing by 11. Similarly the number I get with the check in footnote 2 is the remainder when dividing by 37.

POSIX does not require malloc to be signal safe.

Therefore I do not think that anyone has bothered to implement a signal-safe malloc, as this is likely to be complicated.

Allocating memory in a signal handler makes no sense in a well designed program, so not being allowed to use malloc and related functions is not a problem.
Thank you so much! If you'd like to discuss further, please let me know! My email is in the website. I have a Framework 16 and have tons of ideas. Never got around to it though. (I also burned a few screens, and had 3 as backup haha).

What's odd about the 2007 model? I'm not steeped in Honda lore, so for me it's mainly "just a car". I do really enjoy the 6-speed transmission.

I wish they still made the S2000 (or that used S2000's were attainable). My wife had family with an S2000 and she got to drive it some. She assures me I'd enjoy it very much. Honda makes a nice car.
Never thought of it that way, and I'm not sure if that's a pleasing image or a disturbing one :-) It was a choice between the MG4 and the BYD Dolphin. I chose the MG4 because, as an acquaintance said, it's an EV for the masses and not the classes. Also, it suits my needs.
No amount of locking can make the getenv API thread-safe, because it returns a pointer which gets invalidated by setenv, but lacks a way to release ownership over it and unblock setenv safely (or to free a returned copy).

So setenv's existence makes getenv inherently unsafe unless you can ensure the entire application is at a safe point to use them.
Thanks! I've been considering it (or enough detailed instructions to build one) since starting the project. I need to get a working model first though ;)
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but both your comments in this thread really, really scream that you need to step away from the internet and go interact with real humans in the real world.

Nobody except you is talking about woke communism. Nobody except you is talking about "owning the libs". You're making paranoid, nonsensical arguments against people on your side by imagining they're some sort of alt-right strawman.

It's obviously the "you're backing me up with documentary proof that this is a boring sensible thing" interpretation. The original comment had similar intent.

Color temperature preferences tend to be very dependent on the person. I personally find warm color to be the most relaxing but find myself straining when viewing a screen in too warm of an environment. Warm tones will tend to slightly desaturate a picture and my eyes and brain strain to "compensate" for the desaturation. I find it best to keep my office environments a bit warm, but still on the cold side.
This sort of folksy take always ignores that the same issue happens with the trades as does with the professional classes. No one class is immune to a crash due to unnatural promotion. You've let your moral view overcome that reality

Exactly right. Twitter is a 2x kingmaker (2016 and 2024). The current owner likely thinks that the bleed is worthwhile.
You might like https://dmno.dev (full disclosure, I am one of the creators)

It lets you manage all your config and pull from various backends (like 1Password or an encrypted file within your repo). I have not built a GCP Secret Manager plugin yet, but it would be very easy and is on the roadmap!

Since a lot of your config is not actually sensitive (the NEXT_PUBLIC items), this would let you manage it within your repo, and toggle according to env or compose things together however you like.

It also provides validation, coercion, type-safety, leak prevention, and a lot more. Happy to help if you want to try it out.
For most people, using e-ink for general-purpose computing tasks is going to be so jarring and unpleasant that it's extremely difficult to recommend to anyone who doesn't have severe eyestrain issues and has tried and failed more typical accommodations. I adore e-ink for reading, and own several e-ink readers in various form factors, but the tradeoffs just don't make sense for a desktop computer for most people unless staring at your monitor for eight hours a day is causing you physical harm.

> The rule of law means that nobody is above the law

If the stats from the Innocence Project are correct[1,2], then it would also mean that nobody is above being a victim of the rule of law, either.

The rule of law is not infallible - and any sort of blind "rule of law" worship is akin to the worship for a dictator; its just merely dressed in different clothing.

That would cause quite a scene.

I live in the Metro Detroit region. Many people who work for the automotive companies get cars or subsidized leases. This is especially common for managerial positions at these companies. I’ve heard several firsthand accounts where not only were employees laid off, but they also had to give back their vehicle immediately. These poor souls had to get picked up by a partner, friend, or Uber driver—I’d find that quite humiliating.

That's pretty cool! I ported my own WP blog to a static site generator (my own but with a format inspired by Hugo) a while back and hacked together a script with wpparser and some custom code to spit out markdown (it was a while back but I think just regexes). It got me the bulk of the way there but I still had to go through every page and tweak it to get everything just right. Would happily have paid $150 to avoid that.

Are you keeping URLs stable? That was tricky for me IIRC, along with RSS.

(The very trickiest bit was probably specific to me. I still have inbound links with the page in a "/?p=3" kind of query param, which I think was the WordPress default 20-odd years ago. I didn't want to make the root URL for the site non-static to handle that, so I wound up putting some JS in my index page template that checks for that kind of thing. If it spots it, it changes window.location to a specific URL that is delegated a Flask site that knows where to redirect people. Link in bio if anyone wants to see how it works. I should probably blog about it sometime!)

Also, "If you were on my team I'd manage you" pattern-matches (at least in my mind) with the internet forum trope of "thank god I never have to work with you", often used as a putdown after someone describes something they did at work that the replier doesn't like.
