I agree with this, so much so that I wrote a long essay about this

Modern web design has completely lost the design idioms that so much thought went into during the desktop software wave of the 90s and early 2000s. This is a great loss for usability.

Aa lot of criticism about the potential of vendor lockin etc, but I think this is great, especially for building proof of concepts and small projects. As they said, these are the first building blocks and they look great to me.

When gpt3.5 came out these are literally the first things I built manually. I mainly use LLMs through a telegram bot. I know there are a lot of tools and frameworks out there but I wrote a few hundred lines of hacky python to give my bot memory, web search, image analysis. It's fun and useful and I agree that these are the basic building blocks that many apps need.

Sure you can find better stuff elsewhere with less lock in and more control, but now it "just works" and this responses api is cleaner and more powerful than the chatcompletions one, so personally I'm happy to give openai credit for this, I just don't know why they couldn't have released it two years ago

Great video! Very instructive.
I have a maxxed out 24G M2 Air that serves as my main portable (I also travel with a big 64G MBP). The inch matters a lot, and the Air’s screen edge is thicker, and it’s substantially heavier due to not having the terraced/tiered battery structure.

I still have a MacBook9,1 with kubuntu on it I use for certain things sometimes.

The small one really is so much more portable, even moreso than an iPad Pro with a keyboard cover (which is surprisingly dense).
English is a very beautiful language. There are many ways to say something similar, but each have slightly different meanings. In this case, the writer decided to use "flowery" language, which is usually to create a detailed picture, smell, and feeling for the reader. The point is not only to convey facts but to convey a sense of place. That is the reason for the complicated language.

For example, it says:
"A woman in her forties sits on a bench, fixing the shrine with her gaze."

This means that the woman sits on a bench looking at the shrine. But "fixing" it "with her gaze" means that she is staring at it with deep meaning and (possibly) reverence.

Well, i dont use C++ much(i'm FW engineer, most of my stuff is in C).

The std in C is simple and explicit. For Ex: I can make an educated guess how memcpy() work by looking at its signature. It takes pointer to src and destination, and size, so i can guess it does not allocate any new memory(or if it has, it has to be some kind of optimization reason).

Another example is strstr(), it returns pointer to a piece of memory i provided to it, so i can safely do some pointer math with the return value.

It's true that i do not spend much time in Rust, so maybe i'm missing some fundamental things. I guess my mistake is trying to apply my knowledge in C to rust.

But still, it's kind of irritating now knowing (or guessing) how does function work just by looking at at its signature.

This is overt misinformation. PRISM works directly with the companies (well, "indirectly" to offer plausible deniability). The section you're linking to entirely quotes some random government organization which is obviously an unreliable source on such topics. As is the writing, as opposed to sources, on Wiki.

This [1] is one of the more telling leaks. It's a technical users guide for NSA employees on using realtime Skype surveillance for all modes including video and landline on arbitrary targets. [1] It even includes debugging guides like why an agent might be getting multiple copies of the same message, as happens when somebody being spied on boots up a new device and all of their messages are sent from Microsoft to them (and the NSA) simultaneously, resulting a copy of older messages (from the snooper's perspective).

That's the LC250 Land Cruiser Prado in the global market. They still sell the flagship LC300 abroad with both a V6TT gasoline engine, as well as a diesel.

For what it's worth, the previous generation LC200 also sold with a gasoline V6 in the Middle East, producing a whopping 240 HP, which was later increased to 271 HP.

The I4 engine in the Prado (sold as the Land Cruiser in the US) is more powerful than the V6 it replaces.

>In the current landscape doing things "the hard way" in plain JS is often simpler than with React.

I'm not sure what "simpler" means to you.

It is extremely simple to create and deploy a framework based app; `npm create vue` give it a name, answer a few questions or accept the defaults.

I find programming in such an environment very "simple", because the framework is hiding a lot of complexity.

> You will give up reactivity, testability, declarative rendering, and the ability to hire any passersby, in exchange for not having to deal with a rube goldberg contraption of hooks, dependency tracking, query caches and state management, with a complex build system.

All I can say is: if you have a codebase that has those issues, then the alternative implementation without a framework would be much more difficult to manage.

It's true that Webpack can be very complex to configure, but out of the box configuration gets you pretty far.
There's no such thing as "the market", there are market segments that abstractly represent groups of people with similar characteristics. Charging different prices to people in different segments is standard business practice. Burger chains could charge wealthy individuals $100k per burger if they wanted to, just, burger chains usually have difficulty distinguishing the truly wealthy individuals who walk in the door who would have no trouble putting down that kind of money for a burger.

.... which, in the day and age of facial recognition, gives me an idea for a startup.
The risk is obviously uv losing funding. I kinda hope the PSF has thought about this and has a contingency plan for uv winning and dying/becoming enshittified soon after.
No, it just hasn’t been possible to differentiate as well before.

One example is biscuit manufacturing, where it’s a fairly open secret that supermarket own brand biscuits are the same product as name brand, because it’s better to capture that segment at a lower margin than to lose it to competition.

Tech now makes it possible to target individuals rather than demographics, but there’s nothing inherently against the status quo in doing so.

Nah, it's just corporate greed on apple's part. They want to sell you both the MacBook and the iPad.

Apple is the only major notebook manufacturer which still doesn't offer touch on any of their notebooks.

Yes, Windows 8 was a failure, but Windows 10 and 11 are successful products and they are also built around touch + m&k.

GNOME and KDE on Linux also support touch input.

Tech companies were different and still are.

The problem is that for some reason, advertising companies such as Meta and Google are considered tech companies by some.

You wouldn’t call red bull an extreme sports company, just because they fund extreme sport events?

I bet Rocket Lab is a great company to work at for a nerd.
The problem is that regardless of the amount of confrontation it does not have an answer for any infinite run time event-loop based program, other than "allocate all of memory into a buffer at startup and implement your own memory manager inside that".

Which just punts the problem from a mature and tested runtime library to some code you just make up on the spot.
Some people are too lazy to read docs, so they ask the bullshit generators instead.
What's interesting is that broadly speaking, people acknowledge that negotiating with asymmetric information is immortal or wrong. Take the stock market for example, insider trading is illegal and you don't often hear calls to reverse these laws.

But when it comes to private markets and semi-private negotiations that same sentiment doesn't easily transfer. Does society benefit in some unique way for allowing asymmetries in labor negotiations, private markets like Uber, or B2C relations like Robinhood (1,2)?

1. https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2020-321
2. Note, Robinhood was fined not for front-runniny customers, just for falsely claiming customers received quality orders. I suspect theyve only stopped the latter behavior.

There are a lot of things that are so USEFUL, but maddening.

C is one. make is another.

TimBL invented both the World Wide Web and HTML to solve a practical problem
Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented both the World Wide Web (WWW) and HTML while working at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland. The interesting story is that he created it to solve a practical problem.

Scientists at CERN needed a better way to share information and documents with each other. At the time, computers at CERN were connected, but sharing information was complicated and inconsistent.

Here's what Tim created:

• HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) - the language to create documents

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) - the protocol for transmitting data

• URLs (Universal Resource Locators) - the addressing system for documents

• The first web browser and web server software

What's particularly remarkable is that he and CERN decided to make the World Wide Web available for anyone to use for free, without royalties. On April 30, 1993, CERN released the WWW technology into the public domain. This decision was crucial in allowing the web to grow into what it is today.

Tim Berners-Lee is still active in web development and advocacy. He founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) which develops web standards, and he's been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II (hence the "Sir"). He's also been a strong advocate for net neutrality and web privacy.

An interesting quote from him about his invention: "The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past."

2G GSM piggybacked its wired backed on the ISDN telecom standard (which is which your phone number is called a MSISDN).

Today's CAMEL (MAP and CAP) signalling is an evolution of the ISDN signalling which traces it roots back into (amongst others) the SINAP signalling protocol and the SS7 network stack from even before that.

SS7 is early 1970s stuff. From a more innocent time.

>> Argentina needed a Corpus callosotomy, but got The Simpsons Dr Nick for the operation.

Lol. So, I don't know how I should read this. In some sense I agree with you. Did you initially agree with Macri? I was living in Argentina when he was elected, and my Argentine friends lost their minds. Privately, I was not a fan of his socially reactionary rhetoric... he seemed like a version of George W Bush. But I thought that his plan to float the currency and end the blue dollar was the only thing that made any sense, given the ridiculousness of the economy - even my communist friends who were protesting at his election had more USD under their mattresses than ARS in a bank (most worked for the government, and got the preferable exchange rate, after all). Macri did seem to control inflation for a little while, without completely taking a chainsaw to the state. The IMF was initially pleased. Does something like that seem... palatable now?

I agree. Product owners should be part of the team.

The separation is because I often saw Product owners saying “how” something should be made in the stories. Or invite all the developers to meetings.

If your developers need a meeting for more details, they’ll ask for it.
And let them decide how to make something; as a PO your job is to keep a lot of nonsense away from your team and talk about “what” to make with the client. Perhaps the tech lead joins some of these conversations, especially in the beginning.

The notion that consumers shouldn't be allowed to make decisions that are different than your own... THAT is user hostile.

The root cause is that web browsers were designed for document delivery but are used for building application UIs. The browsers don’t offer a standard set of common application UI components, so every team builds their own leading to inconsistency and half baked implementations.

In contrast, when you build a native app, developers can draw on a standard set of OS provided UI widgets.
It works pretty nicely on linux, you have "mobile" environments like phosh, KDE mobile and that are pretty seamless between handheld and docked "desktop" usage. They have support in app toolkits like gtk and qt for applications that change based on screen size to accommodate mobile users. It's pretty nice: https://tuxphones.com/convergent-linux-phone-apps/

The reason why it didn't work for microsoft is because adobe, valve, and aren't going to whatever framework just because microsoft wants them to. But in the linux world you can just fork and fix. Even apple has a lot of leverage to force developers to act in a certain way if they want that app store $$$.

Obviously the hardware isn't all there yet in the open source world (the pinephones are pretty underpowered), but in terms of software all of the right stuff is there. And don't tell me the UX is too complicated for new users. Gnome's design is literally a ripoff of MacOS and KDE's interface is pretty much Windows.
