AI/SI is having crazy impact on the entire world, and we are left with just 2 ways of doing things ? THAT is crazy to me. With all this creativity and intelligence we are down to two standards, pretty soon Thomas Watson is correct, we only have 5 computers in the world.

That being said, MCP has been truly magical for us, I just wish that the LLM labs would support their connector systems better. Too many "refresh tools" or "sign in again" ..

NextStep/OSX was the only desktop OS that did not feel like a downgrade from Amiga Workbench

Anybody know why these web crawling/bot standards are not evolving ? I believe robots.txt was invented in 1994(thx chatgpt). People have tried with sitemaps, RSS and IndexNow, but its like huge$$ organizations are depending on HelloWorld.bas tech to control their entire platform.

I want to spin up endpoints/mcp/etc. and let intelligent bots communicate with my services. Let them ask for access, ask for content, pay for content, etc. I want to offer solutions for bots to consume my content, instead of having to choose between full or no access.

I am all for AI, but please try to do better. Right now the internet is about to be eaten up by stupid bot farms and served into chat screens. They dont want to refer back to their source and when they do its with insane error rates.

We are maintaining 25y old urls is a bit ehh. cumbersome, and I sometime wonder if its worth it. Most of the traffic seem to come from bots and they do seem to learn some of the 301's. It seems to be good for SEO, etc.

Some users also gets redirected to the content on the new urls. It feels a bit like helping an elderly person over the street to where the shop is.

Anyway, I hope that bots and humans trust our services more.

But somewhere inside (my little star-wars/trek spirit), I wish that it was not so tricky. That we all could just travel and explore the universe.

Everybody always talk about how difficult it is in space and how much better earth is. Wish the debate would be more about all the possibilities in space or on other planets. What can we do with zero gravity? For all the bad things with living on Mars, could there be some amazing benefits, new materials and so on..

SOAP had so many flaws, no need to repeat. But the fact that you could not trust that SOAP software created using Microsoft software would work with something created with Java software was a disaster. Sometimes I ended up building custom SOAP libraries to connect with the other services. It was promised to solve all our problems, but ended up creating more.

REST is not a "standard" library, it is just a basic guideline on how to use the HTTP protocol "out of the box".

What the author seems to be looking for, is one hammer to fix all problems.

If you are spending too much time writing REST services, maybe your frameworks are flawed, you could be automating more or your interface is too complex?

But, it boggles my mind why so many people don't believe global warming can be man-made. I know you can have disagreements, scientists can be wrong, a lot of things can contribute to things heating up, an so forth. But to be 100% sure that its not man-made, I dont get it. Is it because these deniers grow up in a eco system so large that they dont sense human interference, is it pure denial or ?

I only skipped through the spec for gRPC, but the protocol seems very limited. I dont like the 'gRPC status codes', where HTTP status codes at least can be grouped in ranges.

The abstraction from the technology/protocol should not be the issue compared to the abstraction from the core business logic. When handling multiple consumers, customers and technologies I tend to worry more about where logic is handled and where data is stored, compared to how its transferred.

joke aside, Adobe should not be worried just yet. It seems to be just a image tagging service or a terrible drawing application. When I draw a face of a cat it suggests a body of a cat. When I draw a rocket is suggests a glass of vine and so on.

The QuickDraw game was fun and a good idea, but basing a drawing application on "topics" from that game seems like a bad choice.

As a tech person, I understand that the platform can be difficult to scale, security, fake profiles, etc. But besides that? From an outsider, it seems like everybody is doing operations and no innovation in any area is present.

Twitter's homepage is still only a registration to closed social network like Facebook. People dont `get` twitter, and why join when it looks like just a facebook with text-limit?

Stop trying to be a social network, I dont have twitter friends.

Their trending topics are super nice, but nobody knows about it.

All the big tech companies work on speech, but not twitter ?

Tweets are mentioned all over the news, but still people are not using Twitter ? I can only imagine the amount of `Trump traffic` generated.

Their notifications simply blows!

Sorry the rant, I really want Twitter to succeed, because I dont like Facebook, I use Instagram because of family and Snap because of friends. But Twitter is like Hacker News a thing I just love.

So with that, I wish future parents will have it better and maybe some autism detection will help with early diagnostics. I can list so many things that my son cant do, that other children can. But at the same time, he sees things very uniquely and any groundbreaking invention will come from a boy like my son and not from my other "normal" children. Autism can be terrible , I wish that I could spare him all his troubles, but in some way the Autism is also a gift.

I cant help but wonder if some of our brightest minds all had some diagnose and was just strong enough to survive the "normal" life.

Best wishes to any person with autism and even parents struggling out on the interwebs.

What about the c# developers hating vb.net or java? What about .net experts bashing jvm, php, node ? What about windows users bashing *nix for GUI? ahh the list is long, from both sides.

Frameworks and Languages are fine, but what have you actually done with your stack?

1: Click "sign in". 2: Choose account I want to signin with 3: Click "cancel". 4: I get "500, Runtime Error" without custom error page.

Anyway, looks interresting
