ayyy

So, yes. Also, if the answer is "no", we're already very screwed.

Underrated opinion right here.

It's like they took IRC, saw it worked for businesses, and were like "how can we fuck this up, slowly, to destroy the very essence of what made chat channels useful in the first place?".

College isn't for learning things, it's for building connections to future leaders before those people realize they're too valuable to want anything to do with you.

> Kids today (who a generation or two ago were considered adults) probably need to stay at home until they're in their 20s.

Not to worry, economic incentives will force this behavior.

It's not like PF was billed as a hot new feature of the OS. I believe it's a happy accident that we got PF, and I won't be shocked if it goes away in the future.

Especially now that it's been publicly documented that it can block Apple apps.

If you hire based on algorithms, there's a good chance you'll end up with a bunch of people who are good at algorithms, or at least willing to put in the effort to study the algorithms and be able to recite them back with some variance.

If you hire based on knowing how the the internet works (TLS, HTTP, BGP, whatever), then you'll be working with a bunch of people that understand how the internet works.

I know which team I'd rather join.

> Honestly this seems entirely reasonable

I want to agree with your optimistic view of this, but I can't, because I don't think reason was used in making the decision.

I think the reality is probably closer to this:

Product: "so we can't let users block our own apps. it might break things in weird ways and also they implicitly trust us already because we make their OS".

Engineers on the application firewall team: "ok cool, we'll disable users from blocking Apple apps".

Any freedom you're enjoying with PF isn't there because Apple decided it was a good idea. It's there because Apple decided to build on BSD.

I'm actually surprised MacOS even has PF (apparently since 2015, enhanced from other BSD implementations). I did a minimal amount of searching and found this now-relevant gem: https://manjusri.ucsc.edu/2015/03/10/PF-on-Mac-OS-X/

Finally a reason to sign up for facebook!

Anything is possible at zombocom.

I can buy tobacco and alcohol at the corner store, but I shouldn't be allowed to buy cocaine?

Ah, not to worry. Modern agile is just waterfall, but with shorter timelines to maximize overhead costs and minimize productivity. It makes sense when you realize that we pay employees for days to elapse.

Both seem fine to me. Maybe I'm "middle aged" now.

It never occurred to me to fix that with an extension, good tip.

I want to love this. I leave these stations on in the background anyway and being able to change them like a radio station is a desirable feature.

It's missing 2 key features that will prevent me from using it and recommending it to everyone I know:

1) No volume control. You could argue this is more a failure of my browser, but it's easier if you just add a volume control. Bonus points if up/down arrows controls work to control it. Really, all the youtube keyboard controls would be helpful here.

2) YouTube sometimes detects my bitrate incorrectly and I need to manually set it to highest. I don't know why this happens, but it does. Let me change that somehow on your site. Even if I have to opt-in to seeing a full youtube player to set it, that's ok.

I would also like a convenient way to get this on my TV. I wonder which android TV devices can install PWAs now.

It works in reverse too, but with failure.

> Unfortunately that's all too rare in most web-servers I see (<10%), as most just add SSH and secure it and call it a day (even worse when CI/CD scripts just copy files without chowning them).

If you made a list of things like this which annoy you, I would enjoy reading it.

That's true, but it's nice to know it's there so you can have a use for old hardware, or to debug something obscure. More importantly, it's about the type of users it will attract.

Being able to have multiple app stores on android is also pretty good. I have an iPhone for work, and it's fine, but I don't know how people live with one. Everything wants to have ads or wants me to pay for it.

It is sad they don't have rooted developer phones available. I'd switch platforms in a second if they started allowing me root on my own device.

I almost wrote this same comment. At this point, I'm probably going to be soft-retired in 4-5 years anyway. But once I know I won't die homeless, I'm excited to get started with this capitalism thing.

Good information has a long tail. The first time anything is posted, the internet is going to shit on it, regardless of what it is. But good content is sticky, and people doing serious research will be able to dig it up.

People switching away from Gmail aren't switching away from IMAP.

People giving up Google Search aren't leaving HTTPS.

You draw the line at open protocols.

Maybe StackOverflow should be decentralized and community governed. Maybe we should be demanding more open hardware. Maybe we do need to re-evaluate who's maintaining our packages and make sure their interests are aligned with community interests. We can vote with our attention and money and what software we choose to run.

Personally, do what you're comfortable with, but you shouldn't mock others for trying to make privacy possible. You never know, some day you might need it.

Odd. How does Hungary break their children down for a lifetime of labor?

GP or the author of the article? I understand what the article meant (it was a school exam btw), I just didn't know if it was being presented as a sad story or an "uplifting news". It's impossible to tell from the translation.

Is it really that? Can a native speaker give context?

No, if you pull that code and "compile" it with xcode, it will run scripts that install malware on your machine. I assume once the malware is on your machine, it can infect other xcode projects on your machine.

https://voshart.com/BIO the artist appears to be pretty socially conscious based on his other work.

Your comment frustrates me greatly because you are correct that people may internalize ML-generated images, and that's a real risk. ML already propagates racial bias within our prison system, as I'm sure you're aware. But Voshart's model isn't making decisions about employment or imprisonment, no, he's literally making art.

Art needs to be allowed uncomfortable racial and ethnographic territory. If not art, what do you think should occupy that space? Art is supposed to be the domain where we get to try out all these ideas and give the public exposure to what things like ML-generated images can be.

If this art made you feel something racial, try to do something positive with that. Maybe get involved solving some of the real life ML deployments that are already causing problems: https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/01/21/137783/algorithm...

But mostly, I hope when the author reads your comment, he doesn't feel discouraged that doing anything in public might risk his career. Or that someone thinking about publishing their own art doesn't look at it and go "hmm, too risky maybe, I better not". The chilling effects that comments like yours have is much more damaging than any racial bias you might be trying to raise awareness about.

I remember when the conscious thing to do was to uplift the art of the unseen people in our world. I wish we could go back to that.

When I google "define jealous" and "define envy", I read it the same as Homer. I think it's one of those pre-internet "facts" people learned in school.

If you're not aware, "literally" also now literally means "figuratively".

It's memes all the way down.
