Yep. Too many people design systems (both technical and otherwise) under the assumption 'their team' will always be in control, and it'll be their enemies who suffer. Or that hey, this power will never be abused because the s

It may be an old article now, but the point still stands all these years laters. Like, I get it. If the site shuts down, then the URLs are obviously going to change there. But the sheer amount of times where sites get redesigned and somehow

I think more 'tight knight', private social media spaces are the future here. You can see this in how a lot of young people prefer stuff like Discord over Twitter and Facebook, and how (in some spaces), Fediverse communities and e

Wonder how this differs for those who on the autistic spectrum who find eye contact painful in general?

I've had no issues accessing sites using CloudFlare in Firefox myself.

Yeah, 100% agree with this. It's like these sites want to have their cake and eat it, and both get the traffic the 'open web' provides while not having to actually share any of their work there. It's like if you needed a

Yeah, this seems like the correct term for what the paper is describing. Or heck, just 'bully' in general, since that's what it'd be referred to if offline. As much as the meaning seems to have drifted, trolling and bull

At the moment? Yes. It's nowhere near as active as Twitter (or to be honest, many social media sites), but it's leagues ahead of the other Twitter alternatives online at the moment, and you often get the same people chat to you on

Probably because in many cases the assumption is that the dev and main editor are the same person? It's not a great assumption anymore (since many WordPress installs are now set up by agencies and dev teams for non technical clients),

Super Mario Galaxy has held up very well; for a title released in 2007 it's very playable and well designed even today, with graphics that (for the most part) don't look dated at all. Hell, I'd say it gave many contemporary g

Crypto only solves problems for ordinary users in cases where the society around them has collapsed or is on the verge of doing so. As you say, this doesn't help most people in normally functioning societies, unless they're doing

I don't think my company even knows Copilot exists, let alone bans it. I certainly haven't seen any message about it, nor evidence of any coworkers using it. But if they did, it'd probably get banned for that same data issue,

I think the main reason is that the people who use Mastodon tend to use it as a community to talk to like minded people, whereas the ones on the likes of Twitter see it as a free self promotion tool. And the people who follow you there also

Sure. I think AI is more likely to destroy any other field I'd end up in before it makes software engineering obsolete. Like, my other main interest before (job wise) was journalism, and that field basically got annihilated by the inte

Isn't copyright based on the time since the author died? Like thanks to Disney's bullshit, life + 70 years or something? Not sure if I'll still be alive in 4023, though I don't have a crystal ball. Presumably if you know

I thought most sites had the copyright year dynamically set to the current one, though I also kinda half recall someone saying that wasn't good practice either.

Given that Google dropped most of the need to use AMP in 2021: https://9to5google.com/2021/04/19/google-search-page-experie... And other services are either bypassing it or discontinuing it, it's pretty

That might be because of how much more diversified media coverage is now. For the most part, many great creators (and to be honest, celebrities and influencers too) are famous in a certain field, not across the entire world. The greatest ph

I think a slightly more... charitable explanation would be that most people who are geniuses at various topics aren't also geniuses at marketing, nor in many cases particularly good at self promotion. And it's not what you know th

Oh neat, this is a neat concept. Always wanted a secure way to password protect a page without server side coding, and this is definitely the closest we've gotten in years. Not sure I'd trust it myself, but it definitely seems lik

That's a pretty big change for the majority of the population that can't afford hired servants, or don't want to pay someone for that sort of work. At the moment, that sort of work requires you to have a decently upper middle

Yeah, if you only try to publish the 'best' things (as the author puts it here), you'll never get anything done. You'll keep striving for perfection long past the point anyone else would consider it good enough, then may

Depends on the marketing and advertising budget. Plenty of mediocre products have made their companies billions of dollars, and become hugely successful in their specific industries. It's very true that software engineering is a near z

I'd say the main thing to keep in mind is the topic. Put simply, the more niche/specialised the topic, the higher the quality of discussion will usually be. And this is because those niche topics tend to draw in people who want to

Well, federated platforms seem to have avoided it, since one actor can't just degrade the quality of the whole service. See for example, the Fediverse in general. Fan/individual/community run sites and networks seem to avoid

Ah Medium. Ignoring the technical and business issues caused by ever heavier pages, unavoidable paywalls, etc, the main reason it failed was simple: Because it attracted an audience that didn't care for quality, and saw blogging as a &

Didn't the machines design The Matrix in the series of the same name after 1997 or so because it was seen as the 'pinnacle of your civilisation' or something? Sadly, sometimes I suspect they had a point.

Honestly, I think a lot of different services and systems have hurt forums popularity wise, though it happened in stages rather than all at once. Facebook Groups did damage to communities aimed at older and less savvy audiences. Stack Overf
