I mean none of the big social networks have any privacy anyways, they can exactly pinpoint who you are. I'm ok with this additional verification since no privacy is being lost really. No real politically endangered group is going to communicate via these networks anyways.

the internet is not the same as it was 20 years ago. the average person is now online, but they werent before. they dont understand where they are and need protection. there is still space on the internet, or whatever the next place will be, for the enthusiasts and other minorities. if we lose internet, something new will pop up. also, 20 years ago i didnt care so much about privacy on the internet, i just needed a cultural filter for the community im engaging with. privacy has always been a game of cat and mouse. 0 chance things stay the same for long

After 15 years i still cant remember which is which. I get annoyed every time. Maybe I should invest 15 minutes finally to remember properly

one reason why i started enjoying programming less and less was because i felt i was spending 95% of the time on the problems you described which i felt were more or less the same over the years and werent complicated but annoying. unfortunately or fortunately, after coding for over 15 years for the past 4 months ive only been prompting and reading the outputted code. it never really feels like writing something would be faster than just prompting, so now i prompt 2-3 projects at the same time and play a game on the side to fill in the time while waiting for the prompts to finish. its nice since im still judged as if its taking the time to do it manually but if this ever becomes the norm and expectations rise it would become horribly draining. mentally managing the increased speed in adding complexity if very taxing for me. i no longer have periods where i deep dive into a problem for hours or do some nice refactoring which feels like its massaging my brain. now all i do is make big decisions

They failed to redact data. That's it. People just read the files afterwards, only formatting was wierd.

You have to log into w11 anyways as a must, no avoiding it. Sure you wouldnt call this free from purist perspective but from consumer perspective it is

I'm not complaining, I'm stating a fact. Take from it what you will. Why does it have to be something you can disagree with?

There have been multiple active wars in like 1/4 of the world the whole time since ww2 and all the time before that. The only thing different is that Ukraine is closer to EU than the rest of the countries.

Management isn't analysis of data, it is making a decision based on that analysis. A completely different and more complex problem. One could argue that the border between the two is unclear but we have for sure been automatizing the analysis and we are nowhere near removing the managers. Maybe we could say we have removed layers of management though

I'm afraid there is very little documentation/text on modern production JITters. When I tried finding any text for my MSc I had little success. Does anyone have a suggestion about e.g. .NET 3-tier jitting or similar?

I often feel like people formulate the problem wrong. It's not that "your idea was great but only 5% of good ideas work out" but I believe it's more "your idea was almost great but only 5% of ideas are actually great". I feel like it's less about needing luck for a great idea to work out and more about needing more luck to have a better idea. Often times these almost-geniouses are technically talented or creative but lack empathy or social intelligence to see the whole picture. You or your team need to be the whole package to be able to see a problem from all possible angles.

Oh please, only thing happening was people shot themselves in the foot more often. This reminds of the whole debate "C engineer who never makes security mistakes vs 10 years younger Rust developer who uses a tool which makes sure it doesn't happen". Planes didn't suddenly start falling from the sky because people chose wrong electives. That why we have PROCESS where we make sure dumb things cannot happen because we explicitly check for them. When you add automated checking on top of that you get way further than some galaxy brain old school chip designers. Besides, things are moving way to fast for people to get to know too much about one thing

I'd wager it was way worse "before" when there was way less access to information. Nowadays you can at least google almost anything which isn't intentionally obscured while "before" there was no "global knowledge storage". I feel like the article is mixing "scale" with "obscurity". Yeah things are more automated but they are doing the same thing many more times before, it's not like the average person cannot comprehend what is happening if they invested enough time to have the necessary knowledge
