27..? It’s literally the lowest out of everything on page 4 at the moment

I think it’s also because these UI changes are always designed to improve first-impression and first-usage. They are outright hostile to anyone who wants to go fast and get faster — the power user. At minimum the re-arrangement resets any gains you had, and at maximum its irrecoverable because the UI is now fundamentally designed to slow you down.

This eventually becomes awkwardly precise complaints about information density and general change; but the underlying issue is I want to go fast and the system says no

It’s the same as games; people not paying that much attention to it see the ugly side and assume it’s the whole medium. With children shows, it’s the fucking songs. They’re mindless, addictive, and usually revolting to look at; and it will hook in like nothing else.

Bheem, cory carson, rogers, Pixar, etc is like unquestionably to lead to less degenerate behavior than something like cocomelon (though I get some pushback on shutdowns for those too, I get the same pushback on any other toy).

In games, the equivalent would be social spaces (minecraft, Fortnite) and competitive multiplayer; they can be consumed for far longer than they hold any value. But I fully intend to let them play paper Mario, pikmin, puzzle games, point and clicks, etc.

It’s mentally lazy to throw out the baby with the bathwater

I mean, if the now-released open source variant performs roughly the same, and has no weird behavior in it… the matter is resolved, no?

They’ve already submitted the best possible corrective step for any sus behavior they previously did.

It doesn’t even really matter if the preview binary was in fact cheating, if the beta binary meets the benchmark results always. It’d be like cheating on a test you were gonna score 100% on anyways.

Believe it or not, some people live fulfilling lives without viewing any television.

You can live without watching whatever the latest show is.

That doesn’t say anything about anyone’s opinion on managing. The section in question switches to “I” extensively

The poster can be presumed American.. but what does that have to do with the mistake made?

Yes? What happens if you don’t ping in 20, 50, 100 years? At some point between 0 and infinity, it’s probably safe to assume you’re not coming back.

You can argue where to draw the line, but arguing that there shouldn’t be a line at all is absurd

Science moves forward one death at a time

So at least two systems run better with the implicit time limit.

Ethereum has “code is law”, but we can still have a notion of the code being exploited, because it is the intent that’s been exploited

That’s the missing bit in the original post; if exactly 7 tasks was intended to ever be possible to run (as in, it logically doesn’t make sense for an 8th to exist), and they tossed in a scheduler anyways, then that’s man-rated thinking.

I had read the setup as the 8th task being user error (you have 20 things to do, I can only run 7 at a time, and it’s an user error to submit the 8th task while the 7 are running)

I mean, the implementation can be incomprehensibly impressive, but as an example of “man-rated” — being sufficiently robust — rejecting the request would be sufficient and I suspect this was an obvious place to have some kind of handling for. If there were no handler of any kind in this position, it’d be unforgivable in modern, far less robust software.

The kind of example for man-rated I was expecting would be dealing with really nutty edge cases (perhaps like correctly operating under arbitrary bitflips) or the LISP recovery system from Deep Space 1.

Handling an expected error condition under normal operation is not, in my mind, a good example of man-rated robustness. It might be a good example of other things.

That does not seem like particularly notable example of foresight & robustness, given that it’s such a low number of maximum tasks, and such a fundamental & frequently used element of its operation.

Like it wouldn’t even be describable as a “rescue itself” if the response was simply “No. Too many jobs running. Please kill one to continue”

I’ve had 3 notices from 3 months related businesses in the last couple months that my data has been leaked.

So like, I guess I’m just a dead man walking? We might as well just post all this info publicly at this point, and skip all the circus around it.
