@seldo I agree with the "we need better frameworks" part. To go beyond what the ecosystem gives you out of the box requires above-average levels of skill, knowledge, product instrumentation, and organizational pull to prioritize foundational R&D work. Like in most things, solutions that only work for early-adopters/high-skill users don't cross the chasm into mass adoption.

@brianleroux @seldo @agocke Well. One thing that could be done is bring the hammer down w.r.t. enforcing ADA, GDPR, and CCPA on websites until companies throw money at compliance training and potentially licensure/apprenticeship programs.

@brianleroux @seldo @agocke Product certification is generally the lever you pull when there's "a market for lemons" as Alex called it. It also creates market demand for turnkey certified building blocks.

@simon Sadly, going to a downtown area and walking around seems like the best option in most places unless you can find a definitive permanent patio area on street view

@riedlr @ai6yr @clive @DoomsdaysCW when I had a Wrangler with a 4-cyl engine it would routinely make it through snow that would stop much larger SUVs

@futurebird @dalias most of the time applying ML to physical models will produce an over-linearized black-box solution compared to using known equations to solve, simulate, and optimize whatever you’re trying to do. In situations where simulation is resource intensive to do at full fidelity we have tools like domain-specific reduced -order models.

Found a big rock, some crowberries, a reindeer, and crossed into Norway, where I had the local specialty kebab, which was unfortunately terrible

@polotek Numerous conversations: “And what if <vendor> is down?” “Well I guess we’d be down too, nothing we can do about that” “Are you sure about that? Do our customers care that we use <vendor>?” 🦗 🦗

@polotek Yeah sometimes redundancy can be super expensive. But there might be options for fail-over or partial degradation. Worth considering.

@cassidy Ok the other ones are good but not this 😅. Even non-FOSS nerds hate the analytics embedded into commercial products these days.

@cassidy I agree it's ubiquitous,but I have yet to meet a single person who doesn't opt out of analytics and "data sharing to make our products better" when given an easy way to do so. A lot of people choose FOSS precisely because the products feel like they do what they say on the tin and nothing else, not constantly phoning home behind the scenes or distracting you constantly to review something.
