Cool game!

Ran into a weird bug on puzzle 2 where adding a `flex-flow` property and then deleting it also seems to unset the `flex-direction` property on the underlying element. Probably should be disallowed under the no-mixing-shorthand rule I guess.

Also could you make it so that clicking inside a text box doesn't trigger the drag effect? It would be nice to be able to highlight/double-click text to delete/replace it.

I didn't read JS The Good Parts until it was well outdated, and I was glad to see that a lot of the sharp edges that Crockford lists have largely been eliminated. The book was written circa ES3, so some problematic features were removed in strict mode, we have replacements for some (let/const, for-of loops, etc), and we can sweep prototypes under the rug with ES6 classes, sometimes arrow functions even avoid awkward this-binding issues. The rest, like you said, TypeScript + a linter takes care of.

The images are not destroyed, they all still exist.

I'm not sure if a style is something that can be destroyed, but I don't think AI has done that yet.

You're right that quantization isn't anything special here, but red herring isn't the right word, it's just "embarrassingly simple", per the title.

We shouldn't be rushing to explore space when we haven't even explored our own planet's ocean, or page 16 of google search results.

It's called "Chromecast with Google TV" and it wasn't $25 until they made the cheaper version that doesn't do 4k.

Afaik Google TV is to Android TV what Pixel OS is to Android. Both the "Chromecast with Google TV" and the new "Google TV Streamer" are technically running "full Android TV".

Also they were sold mainly as a Roku/Fire stick competitor. Maybe they marketed it alongside YouTube TV but also there's a dedicated Netflix button on the remote.

I think different people prefer different things, and also different creators provide different things.

I enjoy smaller Twitch channels where the chat isn't going 1000mph because you can actually chat with other viewers. There's definitely a parasocial element if the streamer reads your message, but it's more that it's an online community with shared references and in-jokes.

Also the people I follow are mostly part-time streamers doing 3-4 hour streams a few nights per week, so they don't need many breaks like the ones doing all-day streams.

At $83 though, it only takes 5 months for you to break even on the most basic Photoshop-only Creative Cloud plan ($20/month).

And when they actually release version 3 you can decide whether to upgrade or just stay on V2.

Flutter is open-source though, are you actually worried about Google dropping it and the community being unable to support it?

For context, Killed By Google lists AngularJS, which received updates through 2021, about 5 years after Angular (v2) was released. Polymer is another open-source framework, killed in 2021, and it's still in 'maintenance mode'.

We Can Remember It For You Enterprise Edition

I get the idea, but a lot of these examples seem dubious to me. Between Facebook's advertiser interest groups and Tiktok's "uncanny" subconscious-tapping For You page, the Spotify example is pretty benign?

> Spotify sees us like a data structure when it tries to play music it thinks we will like based on the likes of people who like some of the same music we like.

I see how data structures figure into the implementation, but it's also easy to see how "music recommendations crowdsourced from people with similar taste" is a desirable goal. I'd assume that Spotify had to "restructure" its data to get this to provide better recommendations and run more efficiently.

I think you'd have a much easier time selling the dystopian/soulless vibe looking at Pandora and their Music Genome Project [0] (even if it actually provides really good recommendations, in my experience anyway).

Other examples I just don't see where the data structure is. "Thai Food Near Me" is SEO-optimized or whatever, but in the end it's just a catchy name, not really materially different from calling your shop "World's Best Cup of Coffee".

Interestingly, the actual source (at least in a similar tweet[0]) was a fracking company[1] who seems to have an automated system filling their blog's "Industry Perspectives" section by republishing random articles that sound sort of geology related, for SEO. They even link back directly to the Onion!

> OpenAI’s GPT-4, for example, cannot be reliably prevented from hacking secure computer systems,

If someone can hack your system, regardless of whether that someone is an LLM, I don't think it's accurate to call it "secure".

Won't tech companies just post honeypot bounties and see who bites?

> I disagree that unionization fundamentally sets interests of labor against their employer.

lol I didn't say anything close to that.

> You don't actually get equity in early stage companies; you get options on equity

Depends on the company, but it's the same alignment of incentives either way.

> not all landlords suck

Only the sucky landlords should have an issue with this legislation.

> Again, the social divide is not inevitable.

Not inevitable, just the default and probably(?) the majority, in both the landlord case and the employer case.

> There isn't even a clear line where someone switches from labor into management, and your sarcasm left out the divide between management and ownership/capital.

I mean labor vs management in the union/labor-relations sense of the words, where the management is representing the interests of the owners.

> Should early employees overlook small offenses committed by founders? With the emphasis on the caveat "small", absolutely yes. What matters more, true in general but especially in early stages, is trust.

In the early stages of a company, I might be inclined to overlook things if I had equity, as is common in the industry. And there's a reason for that: my labor is creating profit partly for my own gain — so I'm not being exploited.

If a small-time landlords want their tenants to overlook issues that they can't reasonably fix, maybe they should be offering their tenants equity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Tenants are already against landlords, that's how it works.

"Allowing workers to report their employers for labor violations is only deepening the social divide between labor and management."

Partly because for a long time Android allowed apps to do their own billing for subscriptions and other IAP, as long as the content you purchased could be accessed on other platforms (with a big carveout for games, which always had to use Play Store billing for IAP). That's why Spotify railed against Apple for years but didn't mention Google.

They changed their rules a couple years ago to make it pretty much consistent with Apple's policies, but I think some of the bigger players got exceptions.

Apple doesn't allow 3rd party engines on iOS because if they let web apps get too capable then people will stop paying a 30% premium for App Store apps.

Do you use any other streaming sites? Because all of the ones I've used are significantly worse.

Most video platforms don't seem to give a shit whether their keyboard controls work consistently (or whether they have any), or being able to reload the page and resume playback from the last known video/timestamp when things fail due to some unrecoverable error. I've been too busy cursing every other site to notice whether YouTube is bloated.

I've been waiting forever and Google still hasn't launched the TLD, but when they do I want to try and snag "put@emailaddress.here"

You don't understand how lucrative search is by itself. Google pays to monopolize search because they make a lot of money from the paid promoted search results (AdWords). Those can be personalized but most of the time they're simply based on your query.

The personalization profile based on searches and other stuff is used for their display network (ads across the web), but that entire network is way less valuable than Google Search alone. [0]

> Turn off replies to ads (or have thick skin!)

Probably good advice in general, but most brand names don't need to worry about unwanted attention as much as "Post Hog".

Does Akismet detect spammers when they sign up?

afaik its main feature is an API to detect whether a given comment is spam: https://akismet.com/developers/comment-check/

I think you're reading too much into AI specific stuff, I would happily violate copyright for no reason at all.

A lot of content contains PII, and I'm pretty sure the 'right to be forgotten' GDPR laws don't distinguish; it's just "your data" in general that's deleted.

Please don't force Twitter to delete more of my favorite inactive accounts.

I just don't want Google adding extra tracking, I don't mind if they stop your friend Jake from tracking me.

Sure, but then it's not really something to be "betting big" on like the author says he is.

I liked the punchline at the end.
