Say more conservative things or else we'll take regulatory action against your company" sounds to me like an extremely first amendment-violating abuse of government power.

Many YouTubers and many Twitter users would say more conservative things, but Google and Twitter actively discourage and ban users in a way which is pointedly biased. Some of those so targeted deserve such treatment. However, not all of them do. Many of them are simply in ideological disagreement.

It's a dilemma. If monopolies and near-monopolies are allowed to use corporate power to police speech, then this is allowed in the letter of the law, but it stinks to high heaven as far as the spirit of free speech goes. On the other hand, the government shouldn't be in the business of policing speech.

The way out of this dilemma is to break up near-monopoly power where it exists. Right now, there really isn't a good alternative to YouTube, and this near monopoly power lets them effectively police speech across the entirety of a certain kind of widespread culturally relevant media: That of personal video commentary.

My memory might fail me, but I thought Swift 4 was supposed to be "the last major breakage"? Swift has a new major revision every year.

Compare this to Go (no major revisions after 6 years, probably a backwards-compatible major revision in 2-3 years) and Rust (no major revisions after 3 years, but with a mechanism called "editions"). To say nothing about Java or C#.
I love my MacBook Pro. Really, I do. And chances are, I'll probably use some iteration of a PC (in this case, I use an eGPU so I could replace my desktop entirely) until I, well, stop using hardware. I also use macOS and Windows on it.

That being said, I will eventually die. Now, the question becomes what are the people that follow after me going to be using. I have kids in school: both use Chromebooks for school work, in one case a PS4 for gaming, and hand-me-down iPhones/iPhone SEs for social, gaming, and the like. Could they eventually need a PC? Possibly, depending on their career path/interests and the level of support for iPads, Chromebooks, etc. at the time. But they don't need it now. And I know people who are my age and older who limit themselves to iPhones/iPads for technology beyond the TV. None of these things are running Windows.

>> There are system-wide ad-blockers
> Where? I'm talking about blocking ads and trackers in all apps, not just in web views.

Apple allowed them for about a year before reversing course. Lookup Adguard's blog posts for detailed history.

Their app was fantastic (I've still got an old version installed which is still working great on iOS 12.1) and allowed the use of standard tracking lists for systemwide blocking / firewalling.

My guess for why Apple reversed course is that they had no easy way of stopping spyware-masquerading-as-adblockers without blocking all.
Marcus Aurelius had the quote "Confine yourself to the present". He was one of the most respected roman emperors, and a famous stoic.

I am French, moved to the UK a few years ago.

There are many cultural issues that will prevent France from ever becoming a startup nation.

One of them is the fact that there's this idea floating around where you have to have higher education (Bac +5, aka 5 years of uni) to do anything even remotely related to IT, as if it was some kind of rocket science (where a degree would actually help). In fact, the first thing many French people will ask me when they learn about my job is how do I do it and whether I went to uni. They are all shocked when I tell them no when everywhere else self-taught developers are a common occurrence.

You simply cannot get any IT job without that; even junior positions require it. This automatically disqualifies a lot of self-taught developers (like me) even if they have actual work experience, and I'm not sure if the ones that are left (those with the required education) are any better considering they never had the chance to work on a real project.

The salaries are also awful. As a senior engineer (with the required education) you're still only looking around at 40k euros. I was already making more than that as a junior in London! (not to mention the Euros vs British Pounds conversion). An engineer is also not that well placed on the social ladder, management (even something relatively simple like running a small shop/restaurant) is deemed much more prestigious than software engineering.

The relationship between employees and management is toxic. There is no concept of teamwork and where the "boss" is actually working with you towards the same goal as you. Instead, the boss is always seen as an enemy. There is no complicity what so ever between employees and management. This was actually a shock for me when I got my first job in the UK and realised that actually bosses are cool (<3 to my former managers, if you're reading this) and are there to support you. A meeting with the boss in France usually means you did something wrong, while everywhere else it's just a routine talk to go over any eventual issues, ask for advice (whether for the current job or about your career in general) and see if anything can be improved.

Finally bureaucracy and taxes are still awful. Even if you can theoretically get tax relief on new companies and so on, the bureaucracy involved is a tax itself, and often not worth it.

When I think of the FISA court I don’t exactly think of “different co-equal branches, including a court system with centuries of experience & tradition of protecting privacy of citizens from the beginning”. The FISA court is literally a non-adversarial court.

I think the US court system is one of the best designed in the world. But please don’t pretend that the well-developed standard court system is anything like the secret and unaccountable national security court system.

I think they're concerned (as am I) about the false advertising aspect of it - they're not presenting themselves as, say, a newspaper which just runs the stories it runs, but as a _global_ web search company. If they're not actually searching the entire web, or if they're performing tricks to make it difficult to actually use their product the way it's implied that it's supposed to be used, they have to disclose that and make it clear.

There's a large difference between political/religious bias and racial bias in employment/commerce. The former is explicitly constitutionally protected. The latter is not.
And also no reason to expect their procedures to be illegal either. True enough about the surveillance, but the two things aren't connected, just because one procedure was illegal doesn't make all government procedures illegal.

personal anecdote on monoculture

It's a big deal, and hard to mitigate. I love tech, I get paid to know and care about new technologies. However, when I'm not working I want to hear about it less and less. My current roommate has very little personality traits other than "hey I'm good at tech", he's also a self proclaimed "rationalist". Other than that, we've got zero in common, he doesn't listen to music, doesn't watch movies, only reads technical books.

I've met numerous people in the valley that have zero other redeeming personality traits. Including myself (when I first moved here), I find talking about climbing or hiking or biking or history is MUCH more interesting than talking shop about various machine learning techniques.
Go to Silicon Valley instead -- no syringes and no fog. Of course it's the suburbs, so most people will have to drive.

And more tech-focused (apple, google, FB of course, but also robots, various hardware and life sciences companies...not as many people selling socks online as up in SF).
For the data maps which the Medium article displays, I used: https://github.com/ericfischer/datamaps initially. If there's interest, I can try to get my scripts onto GitHub. They:

a) Include Node.js scripts for converting raw big data (the raw Shazam stream) into something usable for visualisations.

b) Contain Node.js scripts & utilities for automating the creation of maps focussed on particular geographic locations.

c) Contain client side JavaScript for displaying all the individual map tiles onto an interactive map & Google Maps API code to query for places of interest (like a club, shopping center) which may explain heavy usage of Shazam in a particular location.

For the globe, which is unrelated to the datamaps, here's the original WebGL globe which someone did in 2011: https://github.com/cedricpinson/globetweeter

Is it because the complaints in question are fabricated, or because one portion of the population is disproportionately affected?

>Swift 3 -> 4 code is compatible

Is this really true? Looking through 4.0 release notes I see some incompatible changes like:

SE-0164 Remove final support in protocol extensions
SE-0160 Limiting @objc inference

If your code compiled with the old version and doesn't with the new one, then those versions are incompatible.
There is also a big social difference, if not social stigma of being a developer (and other "blue-collar" job in general).

In the US, it's not unusual to be in a startup in your late 30's / 40's, and for founders (especially in the bay area) to have gray hair / beard. In France, if you are still a developer in your late 30's and haven't moved to a management, paper pushing, position, you're pretty much a loser.

To some extend, there is a general disgust in France for being down the food chain, even if you're a rock star.

note: I'm French now living on the west coast, making a figure I'd never do in France.

Neither of those languages launched out of the gate with a stable ABI. Prior to Rust 1.0 it was much the same, with regular breaking changes. C++ famously took many years to have a stable ABI.

Swift 5 represents a stable ABI. That means from this point forward all binaries built with Swift 5 or later will run against a newer Swift stdlib.

The ABI is entirely separate from source compatibility. Swift is already source compatible and the bar for a source-breaking change is extremely high.
How is the experience, though? Do you find that most mainstream apps run without issues? Or do you need to exclusively depend on one of the OSS app ecosystems like F-Droid?
Check BMW lease vs. Mercedes lease. I was told that for roughly the same quality car Mercedes lease is way more expensive.
