Thank you. Many say our institutions are underdeveloped but I think it takes a certain maturity of the society to be able to execute projects successfully. It's not perfect, but I think we've come a long way.
Accessibility is easily overlooked but in my opinion provides a much more direct and widespread impact than the mentioned ESG - and often provide value to more people than originally intended - I'm thinking of subtitles in videos that immensely helped me learn English, and public infrastructure adaptations for wheelchair users which also greatly benefit others - like mothers with strollers.
I wish more things were designed with an accessibility-first mindset - enabling edge cases might seem like overkill at first, but it could bring unforseen advantages.
It struck me as comforting to actually be able to post it all online without a major worry, I imagine a person of that age living with close supervision of their family can get fully disconnected of this paranoia and just enjoy actual life, sans administration and connectivity.
Even John Carmack - an ultimate prototype for a nerd - has evolved into a CTO (and from the linked Fridman interview he sounds like a really good one). What is it about tinkerers being put into these positions as a natural progression?
It always seemed to me that people with more of a managerial background would be better managers - is software/system development the only field where masters of their craft ultimately become directors?
The driver is most likely on multiple apps, and is doing rides there while the Uber one stays open so he can accept the cancellation fee when somebody less devoted than the parent commenter gets frustrated enough
This is very consistent with customer service in The Netherlands - nothing is ever the fault of service providers, and you manage to convince them otherwise - you'll get nothing more than "unfortunately (...) not possible"
Any mentions of the refresh rate? I've been waiting for a 4K/5K display that supports 120 Hz to pair nicely with my 2021 MBP, but it looks like the only available options so far are funky gaming displays: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors-mac/
Client devices, I think - filtering that happens transparently and without an easy way to disable is just asking for problems - I couldn't deal with having to log in to the DNS management console every time when a website notices that ads didn't load and therefore doesn't display content. I don't think we're at a point where privacy can be guaranteed by technology choices - it's all about behavior of end users (like avoiding websites which block content if ads don't load ;-)
Is it possible these privacy/filtering DNS services like NextDNS come without a performance hit? Imagine setting it up and forgetting about it, and discovering later that all your DNS queries happened with a substantial lag - it's like realizing you've been driving with a hand brake on
Neat, this helped me realize I haven't switched away from my provider's default DNS when I moved in, which is something I usually do.
How to choose a DNS server? I usually just go with 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, I used to always test this with Namebench (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namebench) and these always turned out as the fastest - but it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2010 - are there any better tools for this, or any considerations in general? I prefer performance over privacy here, I think privacy should be on a different layer.
