You think Reddit is surprised? For all we know, this is going better than they expected.

Did they wait to sue until after you had your data ready? Or were they gonna sue regardless?

In my experience, web push notifications on Android do not show immediately (i.e. with high priority). They only show when your phone wakes. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

I've had no issue with Firebase on a personal project just pushing to my android. The big caveat is that the push doesn't wake the phone. So all notifications drop in when I click the screen on.

The more specific the source you draw joy from is, the more precarious you have always been in life. This is not a judgement.

You won't fire off a quick email nor warn others because there's no bug bounty?

You don't need a Shields Up button to have a little self control on the internet. Seth is energized after a day on the internet. This blog post is about "we" being exhausted aka "you". Not Seth. If you are reading this, you can do it.

My thoughts and experience as well. Seth does not suffer or get exhausted online. He's had his list of what to avoid internalized for a long time. As do I. Believe it or not, you have some agency when using the internet. Even in the face of "the algorithm" (what that has come to mean).

It wasn't a prisoner's dilemma. Cooperating gets you almost nothing while defecting gives you benefit. It was nearly the opposite of the prisoner's dilemma. Couldn't another school of thought "blame" those who didn't participate loudly?

Fwiw, your rant did not convince me.

I estimate that astronomers need to know about tradeoffs on a telescopes' settings for the data they are looking at. But I'm unconvinced that they necessarily need to know how to operate it (would depend on the workplace) and I certainly disagree that how they are constructed is absolutely necessary for all astronomers.

More knowledge is always good, so of course learn what you want. But it's not being "ashamed of tools" to say that a CS degree should "do one thing and do it well".

Additionally, we can simultaneously say that a university should encourage tool mastery while also saying that they don't need to teach entire courses on it.

My university had Dijkstra's quote "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes". They made us aware of tools and we were free to use them as little or as much as possible to do the science. I always assumed that software engineering degrees focused on tools more than computer science degrees (among other differences).

Was the documentation a failure? Or did the US save untold amounts of money because of the mothballing->documentation? The failure of the 20M attempt doesn't mean the overall strategy was bad nor that the documentation was net negative.

Maybe some test mode is getting activated on accident. And those are the sounds a developer recorded long ago and didn't remove.

I was confused for a few sentences when the giver/taker terms were used without explicit definition. I assumed they were used to denote information givers/takers but the definition is more like spotlight giver/takers

One time I made a "Hitler finds out"* meme and uploaded it to youtube. My video immediately got 2 copyright claims on it. One was for the video and was probably by the film rights holders. The other was for the audio and it was this song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSlbcRumfwk I assumed that this was some kind of scheme. The audio claim has since been removed (not by me and I don't know when).
