So..... Throw them in jail? Make them accountable? Revoke the companies ability to do business till the records are provided?

Then again, that's just fantasy because the laws don't matter if you're Rick/big enough anymore.

Honestly?

Heat death of the universe.

Our biology is hardwired for tribalism.

Really, victim blaming?

Get out of here with that low quality crap.

That's kinda the root is the problem though isn't it?

It's incredible useful to have hoards of intellectually challenged voters hanging off your every lie.

From a parent perspective, largely because of societal consequences.

Your toddler talking about sex can lead to undesirable social consequences.

Not that I agree with it, but the reasoning is valid, it's a fear of other people and their lack of understanding or nuance. And the potential for them to assume the worst and attack you over something entirely benign.

Now if we're talking about education, there really isn't any good excuse. Maybe it's an extension of the above?

Definitely distopian, corporate power and entrenchment grows every year.

Probably because of the "you can't be sexist against males" standpoint

browsers themselves are easy to make

That's ... a patently false statement.

They are among the most complex, difficult, resource hungry pieces of software out there along with actual operating systems.

There's a lot of open source browsers out there. Are you using them? Probably not

This is also essentially misinformation. I'm sure none of us have heard of Firefox before, or Chromium. Sure Chrome (closed source) is what most people use, but Firefox isn't exactly some esoteric browser.

Cloud computing is.... Not distributed computing.

We're talking about pushing compute workloads across a distributed set of devices where that workload is linearly scalable by the number of devices involved, compute, storage, failovers...etc scale elegantly. Cloud computing can give you the tools to make such a thing a reality within the scope of the cloud provider, but it most definitely is not distributed computing just by existing.

Also the fediverse is NOT distributed computing either, at least for Lemmy. There is no distributed compute available for Lemmy. You can't have a few hundred users toss up their own compute to handle loads for an instance. Each instance is limited to a single database, and can have webservers behind a load balancer to spread out the compute. And that's about the best you've got. Not distributed, you can't just spin up 100 nodes for a Lemmy instance to handle more load and everything "just works". It's a very "classic" architecture in a way.

A K8 cluster isn't distributed computing until you build a distributed application that can elegantly scale with more and more nodes. And is fault tolerant to nodes straight up dying.

Kafka for example, is an actual distributed application. One which you could run on a K8 cluster, it self-manages storage, duplication, load balancing, failovers, rebalancing...etc elegantly as you add more nodes. It doesn't rely on a central DB, it IS the DB, every node. Lemmy is not.

Or Obsidian? Take actual control over them including rendering if you want to customize that.

Maybe it's a different use case 🤔

This is a pretty disappointing and anemic article.

I thought this was going to dive into some of the practical pragmatic and scientific ways to measure information.

This is quite literally "What is a bit and a byte" 🫤

That's also called a toxic workplace if there is a pattern of feedback like this.

If it is, and if you can, start looking elsewhere. Personal attacks over what should be mundane code review items is unacceptable.

If this was in formal code review, then that's still a huge red flag. Code review is about catching errors, learning opportunity, and periodically style/cleanliness problems. It should be semi-formal, and does not include personal attacks like that. It's a safe place to fail, and should be maintained as such, lest the productivity advantages be lost.

We all make mistakes. I'm a Sr. Dev & Tech Lead and just last week I had an obvious error that a Jr dev caught. It's no big deal.

It can be easy to dwell on this, and think about over and over again. ADHD folks tend to have a stronger sense of justice, which means we are more sensitive to being "wronged", and it will bother us for longer. All I can say is try to not let it bother you as much, it was unprofessional to say that, and minute mistakes are the norm not the exception.
