I could easily imagine that a platform can be fined for any harm a scam did between being reported by anyone and them taking it down. Maybe not with current regulation, maybe not in the US. But in other places: why not? I report a scam, ads

I disagree with that premise. While "it must be usable with JS off" was true decades ago for accessability and compatibility reasons, this isn't the case anymore. In my case, the reason for changing and not creating the D

Certainly. I never meant to say "my javascript strategy is X and its the best fit everywhere'. As always "it depends". Though, the simple idea of server-side rendered HTML that is enhanced with JS goes a very long way. &

I use templating in rust (jinja) even with rather some JavaScript. My JavaScript modifies the DOM rather than creating it.

I keep saying that PHP is above all a templating language. Last time I looked every file has to start with a php-mode tag still, for example. Which makes it funny to then realize that e.g. twig is a templating language written in a templati

Quite common brands sell handbags that cost several month's rent of a western european house. An airplane costs millions. Military planes billions. Amounts so staggering large they could easily pay for the rebuilding of entire countrie

Why would people push back at that? I'd personally say "use mastodon.social", but your advise is just as good. Simply because it is a solid advise, offers a single option and points people at where to start . Ubuntu is good

Yea, the tone was off-putting to me too. But the message and information is good though. I'd personally word it something like "Linux users don't want more distributions. They want software". At least, this is the case f

The comparison is off. The comparison should be "the library has plenty of copies of a book but does not allow anyone to borrow it, regardless of if they have a subscription. Someone takes it out, returns it". Is that stealing? It

We write these laws on paper, and not on two stone tablets because they aren't fixed. You make it sound like "once it's written down, that's how it is. forever". Which is also not how law works (not even how religio

For the sake of the argumt, let's say there is no monopoly, but a competitive landscape filled with alternatives and switching costs are zero. Does that change my point about the difference in those examples?

Why do you think that the GPT-10 solves the supply paradox of AI? And if it does, what markets are (combined) worth $80 billion (the valuation of just OpenAI) that can be taken over fully? Or with a multiple and taken over partially? And wi

But the point of the article is that there aren't "a lot of markets" to disrupt. Or, at least, that most of these are markets that have very small margins or profits.

How big is the market of "junior analyst-type jobs" globally? Will disrupting or obliterating that industry make an impact on our lives? Will it add anything to the bottom line of OpenAI?

One of these is inherent, dictated by technological abilities. The other virtual, made up and kept in place by abusing a monopoly.

The fact they know no-one who uses WhatsApp is a giveaway of their demografy as well. In many countries "not having WhatsApp" equals "not participating in anything". In my country everything, from my insurance help desk

In absolute numbers it may be doing fine. Steadily growing even (I don't think it is). But in relative numbers, that means a significant decline. In many niches and usecase, that practically means obsolence. Keep in mind that the amoun

If it is copy-paste out of laziness, then certainly "writing functions" (abstractions) would be the better solutions for repetition (DRY). But the author adds crucial context: > My code traded the ability to change requiremen

We had (have?) that flag in browsers. But once too many people switched it in the 'do not track' mode, the industry decided to simply ignore it. You cannot get a more clear sign that government pressure and laws are needed, than t

Those are good arguments for using an online service. But your conclusion is premature and certainly cannot be made blanket like that in favor of using the API. Just as many arguments can be made for an offline check. Or against an online c

It's a contradiction I see in this discussion quite often. If you want "quick feedback loops", a type checker is probably one of the quickest. Almost always quicker to give feedback than tests even. And certainly quicker than

Is OpenID still in use much? I come across it less and less. To the point where I get the feeling it's just some legacy implementions that have it, but nothing more.

I'm rather on the opposite end. The real world is ugly and full of edge-cases and noise and ever-changing-requirements. So encoding that, and keeping a solution elegant and "beautiful" is what I strive for. Finding elegance
