And I think this is exactly the problem.

People who are already socially confident don't think about these processes because they just happen naturally for them. You meet someone, chat with them, and then sometimes you become friends. So when someone comes along and outlines the process, it seems clinical and detached, and thus kinda creepy.

Certainly it was my reaction when I first started seeing things like this. "If you're thinking about it, you don't really care about the people. Real relationships just happen naturally!"

But of course, for some people they don't just happen, and these kinds of outlines can be very helpful.
This actually looks quite good, but I'm not a fan of relying on icons for the modal buttons. It'd be nice to have an option for text buttons still - even from the demo, "Save" is much more intuitive than a tick icon.
I never used drive, despite my employer subscribing to the whole Google drive thing just for hangouts (which only recently allows more than 11ppl)

...so? You can also create multiple accounts today and post whatever you want. What exactly is wrong with their process when the users themselves decided there was enough value to stay?

> "Holds" rather than "has", and importantly that system-wide lock must be held by things like SendMessageW (which sends a message and waits for its processing before returning) which is pretty critical for UI updates.

Do you happen to know anything about it? I'm scratching my head how it's possible that process termination serializes with GUI... Maybe it hogs some lock on process descriptors which SendMessage also needs to grab for a moment to find the target process? I hope you didn't mean to say that every SendMessage call is completely serialized with each other.

Are you aware this will make everything way more expensive? Why don't they let people who care about extra warranty pay the premium and let the rest of us who don't care about it avoid the fee and pay cheaper. How about we let willing adults contract freely with each others instead of using the force of law and guns to force people into contracts governments think are better for us because we're too dumb to know better what's good for us and what to do with our own money?

"The music industry" has nothing to do with artists of previous generations, except that they still try to make money from them. Participating in that scheme in order to appreciate their art is entirely optional.

"The music industry" has nothing to do with independent artists of this generation who promote their own stuff or who sign on to small independent labels. It is just not the same thing and you are limiting yourself by conflating them with "the music industry". Of course, that's entirely your choice but it is healthy to keep in mind this is entirely an artificial limitation.

It's also important to realize that just because you got burned out on music, doesn't mean other people who live and breathe music should also decide to stop listening to it. There are other, more effective ways of protesting the bad parts of the music industry than not listening to its IP.

Just based on the accusation of theft, without knowing anything else about them or anything else, I can safely say they're scum bags and no I don't have a Fields medal but I don't retract it.

That's at least excusable, unlike GUI freeze caused by termination of a number of processes which don't even use the GUI.
That's because the browser had to do things the sneaky way.

Everybody wants to control the app platform. Every time a cross platform solutions appears everyone tries to shut it down. See: Java, Flash, etc.

The only one that platform owners couldn't really shut down (though they are getting better at it), is the web. It was considered too "dumb" to shut down and too useful to completely avoid. And bit by bit, just like the boiling frog story, people added interactivity features until we arrived where we are now. A bloated, perhaps crippled cross platform solution, but the best we have now for running things on things from embedded, mobile, desktop, etc., etc.

Reddit's /r/HailCorporate, which tracks attempts to influence (usually for commercial gain) the popular website, has turned up services claiming to sell front-page placement on Reddit and Imgur.

> Damn, are we doing this wrong?

Yes, and I mean "we" as in "this industry".

I just recently talked to someone whose Swift framework(s) were compiling at roughly 16 lines per second. Spurred on by Jonathan Blow's musings on compile times for Jai[1], I started tinkering with tcc a little. It compiled a generated 200KLOC file (lots of small functions) in around 200 ms.

Then there are Smalltalk and Lisp systems that are always up and pretty much only ever compile the current method.

We also used to have true separate compilation, but that appears to be falling out of favor.

Of course none of these are C++ and they also don't optimize as well etc. Yet, how much of the code really needs to be optimized that well? And how much of that code needs to be recompiled that much?

So we know how to solve this in principle, we just aren't putting the pieces together.

My problem with systemd is that is seems to have a policy (most certainly a history of actions, and that's really the significant thing) of NOT doing the sane thing, then being called out for it, and then having the systemd people defend not doing the right thing.

This is also why I think statements like "being rich is a choice" don't come near telling the whole story, if they are even partially true.

Our circumstances probably affect 90% of how we end up doing in life. What if you were born in Nigeria or Syria instead of the U.S.? What if your parents were very poor and without much education themselves, and therefore not only did they not afford to pay for a good education for you, but they also didn't give you the best education at home? And so on, and so on.

I agree.

But there are still people who are not changed much in important qualities despite big changes in their circumstances (e.g. from poor to rich, or from obscurity to fame or power, or vise versa) and others who change behavior totally with the subtlest of life changes.

It seems the board has frustrated accused employees to the point where they leave - this is with no irony as the Ushahidi team runs "Harrassmap, which started in 2010 with dedicated volunteers, plans to use the public-service ads, radio spots and social media to “create a zero-tolerance attitude for sexual harassment.” - their words (https://qz.com/434606/the-app-that-wants-to-make-egypts-stre...). The evidence is damning. The board has known for a while, the executive in question has had a ten year history of sexual harassment. Employees were asked to submit complaints to the harasser. This needs to stop, this needs to be exposed for what it is.

I know it's a difficult balance to find, but sometimes you have to restrict the individual's freedom of choice to protect the environment and society as a whole.

Wasteful short product cycles may just fall into the category. Long-lasting products won't prevent you from buying the new stuff all the time. But instead of throwing away the old stuff, you might be incentivized to sell it to others who happily use older stuff.

Hopefully that's because the temporary site I linked above was created literally in a couple of hours. The production homepage will have at least 50% of its real estate devoted to explaining why Matterlist is unique. There will be a block that explains major problems with existing todo lists and how Matterlist addresses them, and each of these problems will have a dedicated linked article explaining it. We do use some unique approaches to todo lists - for example, our approach to recurring tasks where we separate their definition and recurrences.

> I am highly skeptical on their Wunderlist shut down.

Maybe you're right, but I can't discount a complete shutdown. I'm planning to launch before the shutdown anyway (mostly because I need to build up SEO anyway), and I'll prepare some strategy / materials / campaings for the actual closure event, should it happen.
Mostly by very tight tolerances on certain components that causes them to fail prematurely. The difference between planned obsolescence and just cheapening out on the BOM is mostly in the eye of the beholder.

There's also the classic "software driven obsolescence", such as pushing a software upgrade that performs poorly on older hardware. Again, you could argue that maintaining older versions of the software is costly for the vendor and it makes sense for them to push their newer, shinier version.

I think in many cases "planned obsolescence" is not so much about some evil corporate type saying "let's have this thing break on purpose two years from now" but rather some greedy corporate type saying "let's make this thing as cheap as possible".
