I'm always wondering why this kind of tasks can't be largely automated already. It's not like you need AI for generating what largely amounts to default plumbing code.

It shouldn't be that difficult to generate back-end code for say a Bootstrap template. It should even be possible to generate both a Bootstrap template and the corresponding back-end code from something like a Balsamiq mockup.

The problem with generated code though used to be that it tended to both break quickly when confronted with non-default requirements and to make customisation by (human) developers much more difficult and cumbersome.

So, perhaps the route to having largely automatically generated CRUD apps isn't so much paved by the code generation process - involving AI or not - itself but by how easily the generated code can be extended afterwards. I'm envisioning to never have to touch the actual CRUD code. I'd rather like that CRUD code to provide extension points for additional services or functions to tack on to.
You don't have to know it exactly. You already know enough. There are enough people on the planet with low IQ and/or high aggressiveness to make this infeasible.

Not really, you could make that argument about any set of technologies working in tandem. Traditionally a framework is an entire set of technologies, only really designed to work together (e.g. Laravel, Rails, Backbone, CakePHP, etc.).

Express is a routing library for handling HTTP requests, it's not opinionated about anything else. It does one thing, and it does it fairly well.

React is a library for building UI components. It's not particularly opinionated on how you manage your data, or anything else really. It just renders things, and helps you do this efficiently.

Redux is a library for managing state changes in an application. It doesn't tell you how to render these changes, it just manages state.

These are not frameworks, they're focussed libraries.
I think people are going to pay for this.

As far as i know, systemd is creeping in as a dependency of a lot of unrelated packages - even UI packages. So you can have a Debian that doesn't run systemd, perhaps, but not a Debian that doesn't depend on bits of pieces of the systemd OS any more.
This doesn't address the point raised. He mentioned that more and more software relies on systemd giving just one example.

IMO not much has changed in the last 2 years. Not too much additional software really relies on systemd. Nor that systemd integrated any other software like it did in the beginning (e.g. merging udev into it). There haven't been too many feature additions as well. What did happen is that way more software ships a systemd conf file, but that's about it.

Most of these tools seem to exist more for the benefit of managers than hackers.

For small groups, I think I honest-to-goodness prefer TODO.txt in the top level of the relevant repository to any tool. Otherwise, GitHub issues is a pretty nice lightweight-ish tool.

Lack of an explicit model of a "sprint" (which often seems to be where formal process starts to get reified in these tools) is a big plus in my book.

Which is when US managers work for European based companies this causes issues if they don't adapt.(And I am sure is the case also in the other direction).

I have come across American managers move straight from Silicon Valley to Europe and not understanding that firing people in Europe (well in the parts I know, UK & Scandinavia) is rare, and not expected. Not understanding that there is a limited pool of potential new employees, with a busy grapevine, and you do not want a reputation as a hire and fire company. Not understanding that internally people no longer want to move to that team etc.

My naïve Scandinavian background balked when seeing the behavior of these managers over and over again. And made me very wary of ever working for a US company even if located in Europe. The culture clash from senior management would be too much.

Though to be fair I have met several very good American colleagues and managers as well. Obviously it is not ubiquitous.

> People forget that Microsoft made box-model

No, I didn't forget. But you forgot to say that MS did all that with draft specifications or even no spec at all (XMLHttpRequest), just to beat everyone to market, then refused to correct their implementation once the standard was revised and agreed by others. And they sprinkled ActiveX on top, for good measure.

> developers (and their managers) lapped it up

Disagree. Developers were the ones that pushed Mozilla and then Firefox (and then Chrome) as soon as they could.

> Microsoft did the right thing and didn't break compat

Microsoft did the right thing for their own bank account: they smashed the competition with bundling then left IE to flounder, even obliterating their dedicated team, because they had reached their objective, which was to dominate the web so that they could sell what they really cared about: ActiveX and other Windows-only technologies.

> the problem is that everyone likes the boss.

No, the problem is that people are lazy. IE won with OEM bundling on Windows. Chrome is winning with OEM bundling on Android. As long as the default is good enough, people won't switch, especially 15 years ago when downloads took a degree of effort (waiting several minutes, restarting after failure etc etc) and now on mobile where it is awkward and/or completely forbidden to switch browser. This is basically what the article says as well: they couldn't push a browser, they had to push an OS with a browser bundled. If people don't switch, developers can't build for alternative browsers, because their managers won't allow the additional time and effort.

> lack of awareness of basic security issues among device builders

I'd hate to think users were just as guilty, after all that would implicate me, but much of the IOT functionality should be firewalled or restricted to LAN, if access via handheld is the target rather than turning the stove on while on vacation. Regarding manufacturers from the POV of a consumer, they should just build devices without malfunctions. That's not a matter of security but quality.

"Permanent employees are basically impossible to fire."

That really isn't true at all - you can be fired for pretty much anything in the first two years and after that the process is pretty straightforward.

>To be provocative: No one ever fired someone too soon.

how about when the board fired Steve Jobs? (Specifically, stripped him from all responsibilities, removed him from the head of the mac division, gave him an office with nothing to do). No?

After all, he didn't code, was kind of a weirdo, and the board had every reason to have some doubts.

Was that a "wrong" decision?

You have a tiny systemd library which does little more than checking if systemd is running. It's a helper library for doing that check. Within Devuan they didn't want this dependency, but that's unrelated from being able to use software under another init system.

There's a huge difference between not accepting any dependency with systemd in the name vs being able to use another init system.

That some software has a dependency does NOT mean that the software is restricted to only run under systemd.

the reason went Firefox lost it's because it's extremely see and unstable

i try it usually once a year to confirm there is no progress and experienced this few weeks ago, loading and rendering pages it's slowest compared to Chrome, CAF browsers or Brave, heck Firefox doesn't even have pull down to refresh which is showstopper, add-ons are nice but most of the users don't care and i can block ads just with adaway

as for desktop, again unable to handle more tabs properly, freezing and unresponsive while no such problems on Chrome

i dunno maybe Chrome devs test their browser on actual real life desktops and mobiles, while Firefox devs think everyone has flagship and computer with 16gb of RAM?

TLDR: Firefox is significantly (not slightly as article honey talk) slower on mobile and freezing and unresponsive on desktop compared to Chrome and real users notice this, they don't care about add-ons
Not directly for those purposes, sure.

But it isn't much of a skip to see future derivatives of mil-sponsored research like Boston Dynamic's Atlas and Big Dog being put to use as workers in hostile environments, both here on Earth and in space. The civilian space program would never have gotten as far as it has without massive transfer from the military spending on boosters, after all, so the direction of transfer has precedent.
I reckon it is meant in a "opportunity cost" kind of way.
Mmm, I can think of worse things.
I switched from Firefox to Chrome just last week. I was using Firefox for years until it began crashing multiple times per day. Chrome is far faster at browsing. Tabs close quicker.

This has nothing to do with developer assessment - its only for finding out, during the daily review, what branches have had the most activity and what is ready for the daily review.
I've actually done something like this, a couple of times, on a much more ad-hoc basis, writing interactive fiction one response at a time in collaboration with another guy who wrote commands like you would to an Inform parser.

It was fun to play and received a degree of general acclaim, but it was also a lot of work! If I were building tooling in support of a similar game, the first thing I'd write would be a bot that'd observe and correlate directional moves, "look"/"examine" commands, and the like, with their responses - and, when a previously visited location or a
previously examined object were encountered again, give the author the option of reissuing the previous response, with or without prior editing. Such a bot could also be preloaded with responses to commands likely to be issued during a game.

Inventory management, and object management in general, would be another high-payoff automation target. Remembering what's where, both on the map and in the player's inventory, is a drag and severely error-prone; a bot tracking TAKE, DROP, and like commands, or even just able to be told by the author of object status changes (or both!), will both save a lot of time, and greatly improve the flow.

In my experience, it's easier for players to remain involved and engaged, and the game to remain enjoyable, when responses come quickly - although I'm not too sure this isn't an artifact of my having played these games in a public Slack channel, which necessarily has a certain performative aspect about it. Games with a smaller audience, or no audience at all beyond those actually playing, might not have such concerns. In any case, having a bot that's seen what came before and can reproduce
it without manual effort, but also gives the author a chance to modify those responses where necessary, saves a lot of work that could be better spent on imagining and describing a compelling story, and would thus I think be a good place to start.

How to scale the game to multiple players, I have no idea - for classic interactive fiction, that'd more or less mean multiple games running in parallel, so the model doesn't really fit. For something more like a multiplayer RPG, I'm not even sure where I'd start.

(One other note - unless there's a very compelling reason otherwise, I'd lean by default to an open source offering like Mattermost or Rocket.chat over Slack for this. On the one hand, Slack's pricing model and rolling archive on the free tier lack appeal; on the other, some of the tooling we're talking about might well be more effectively built as part of the platform than as user scripts or as bots interacting with webhooks. I've used Slack, and it is very good! But another similar platform might be better for this use case.)

This is the key for understanding how those involved in implementation could do it without feeling terribly guilty: instead of "shit, my boss is ordering me to poison the air" they could look at it in the much more cheerful way of "yay, together we can get our planet-saving CO2 reduction features past those annoying regulations that make it so hard for us". If there are two ways to tell a story, people invariably choose the one that puts them in a better light. Inner discourse is no exception.

Apple was never likely to license iOS to other manufacturers, nor were they likely to have enough capacity to satisfy the whole market. I reckon they are where they always wanted to be: owning a very profitable and locked-in niche.

I worked for a while in Norway, so quite similar to Sweden, and I only really encountered one person whom had been fired. And that was for being a total dickhead and breaking the law. Mostly the incompetent or unmotivated people I met get moved around to harmless projects until they leave from boredom, but that might take a few years or they retire.

And the hire process can be more elaborate, my father's company used 7 rounds of interviews before anyone was hired... But in "our sector", developer roles etc it was mostly just 1 max 2 face to face interviews and no different than the UK and elsewhere I have worked.

And in Norway (at least in Oslo) there is no hesitance in hiring people due to the severe drought of qualified people and near 0% unemployment in cities means companies are desperate even if letting them go will be difficult.

But there is a proliferance of contractors via consultancies everywhere as they are easy to fire.
> which I think are a lot like putting your mind on hibernate to get from point A to point B in a temporal sense.

I was interested to find that in India, things are named in a way that brings out little points like this. For example, Indians call the little snacks you can buy on trains (like roasted, spiced peanuts) 'timepass.' A way to put the mind on hibernate and pass the time until the next desirable experience, presumably.

Maybe that's just what people want most of the time? The world can't always be the way we'd like it to be, and we're just passing time in a way that takes minimal effort. To get to the next desirable experience.

For most, the phone is where they go when a situation becomes uncomfortable or unfavourable. It's easier to do that than meet and correct the situation (if it's correctable at all). Or learn to see beauty in the mundane.

We need to build a culture of reasoned, purposeful existence, rather than one that is constantly buckling to the whims and fancies of our immediate demands.
"it's not a mutual decision (to be fired) "

Surprising as it may seem, I am going to have to disagree with you here.

If someone is performing poorly, the most likely explanation is that they are unhappy with their job, for whatever reason.

And the best way to handle the situation is to figure out what is making the employee unhappy.

And sometimes the problem might not even be solvable for your company. And in that situation, the best outcome for both of you is to end the business relationship.

I'm really interested in the topspeed.

For german customers all the current gen EVs(Bolt/i3/Leaf/Ioniq) with a topspeed of 140-150km/h are to my opinion not really save to drive on the Autobahn as you don't have some speed buffer to overtake someone who's driving 120-130km/h fast enough.

If Tesla manages to give the Model 3 a top-speed of 200km/h that would be a game-changer and make it a viable car for me. The Model S is viable in that regard, just too expensive for me personally.
I just want you to know that I'm a beginner in management (having hired two juniors for my startup), and I'll use this advice (The junior is not productive, but him being reasonably motivated is the reason why I'll keep him).

Even the report is a bit misleading, comparing Tesla's yearly rates to the same-year averages paints the picture that Tesla got an additional 15% more risky than the industry in one year. About a quarter of the y/y change in the industry average between 2014 and 2015 is apparently residual[0]. There are only three points, but the residuals on the slope of Tesla's TRIR are lower than the residuals on the industry average [1]. What this basically shows us is that Tesla hasn't been a company long enough to establish a trend, upward or downward, of workplace injury. Worksafe Inc.'s report claims that Days Away, Restricted [activity], and Transfer[red] (understandably [given how inconsistent OSHA themselves are about what it stands for] misquoted as Days Away Transfer Rate) is a better indicator of rates of serious injury, but it's obvious to a layperson that days off, even on a 300 form, are discretionary. It could just as easily be the case that Tesla workers are encouraged to take days off for more minor injuries.
