It can only really be done on a per codebase level, really.

By which I mean, in my highly sensitive and correct program xyz I can (say) abstract all access to a type (A struct?) through a macro which would contain null checking/assert-ing. This could work perfectly well and even be static checked for (in principle).

However, if I tried to package this type up in a library it all basically falls flat - or at least it would be very easily broken.

Doing this like this is to static analysis(/The Type system) as foreplay is to sex.

This is one of those areas that I never "got" in that I just filed expense reports for what I spent and didn't see the advantage of getting an extra $10 or $100 from the trip. And I knew people who loved to push it as far to the limit as they could, like a manager who had a private table at a Sunnyvale restaurant and filed a huge reimbursement request for 'team lunches' and a baggie full of receipts. Betting that nobody would actually go and verify the receipts.

So at some point you have to be in a somewhat adversarial relationship with the company right? I suppose if you felt the company was taking advantage of you this would make sense as a way to 'get back', but wouldn't you rather be working somewhere else instead?

Perhaps it isn't the company size.

Your examples of "predatory business attitude" must all be signed off at the top - and most likely deeper executive involvement than many decisions.

I suspect that at that company size, you need to have a certain predatory attitude to compete - you definitely need to at least defend against your competitors' practices.

Google, Apple, and Microsoft are great examples of the how we do judge a company's culture.
I think you're trying to start a different conversation than what I had intended to point out by adding another anecdote to the original comment I was responding to.

Right now there is relatively little liability in gathering personal data about customers but huge benefits to doing so. I believe that there should be regulation governing punishments and protections for consumers whose data may be compromised or mishandled by corporate entities.

As it stands right now a company can leak personal data from their customers and face very few consequences. Rather, the negative consequences of customer data leaks are felt by the customer rather than the corporation that mishandles their data. This is a similar externality-effect as pollution, where a bad actor's malfeasance generates a larger negative impact than what is directly born by the bad actor itself.

We could discuss whether or not NextDoor has a legitimate use for personal identification data, but that's a tangential discussion. My point was supposed to be that any firm that gathers personal data should be assuming a greater amount of liability than they currently are.

> A median income female is buying a $15 bra at Walmart.

I'm not even a woman myself, and I've known several median (and substantially below) income females to buy much more expensive bras at Lane Bryant and other places, and to express willingness to pay substantially more than that if they could find better fit.

Location on the income distribution may not be the key factor here; if the quality is there and they can scale this into an operation that is local across the country, even at the $350 price point, there's a decent size market.
That used to be the case, and it was fine, but they started breaking those operators a few years back (maybe when they tried to make “+” search for Google+ pages, but I’m not sure).

I've used Concur as both a user and expense report approver, and I suspect these "AI" claims are overblown. What actually happens is that Concur can import transactions directly from a corp credit card and identify a lot of them (airlines, hotels, restaurants) automatically. From what I've been told, the auditing bit consists of looking for anomalously high charges in categories ($1000 flight OK, $1000 restaurant bill not so much) and checking against a blacklist of banned establishments (gambling, adult entertainment, etc).
Start with the tests, examples and apis; at least implement a couple of parts of the api, whether a plugin, or using the code as a library depending on what the code does.

Once you understand those, read the headers of the apis you can follow the code through to the rest of the application.

Usually, a project will use 3rd party deps so you will have to understand at least the apis of those as well.

If the project uses cmake or whatever build system builder, learn it inside out. If its just a Makefile then thats simple enough to understand, follow how everything is compiled and linked together.

I have made an (unofficial/private clone of) Azul boardgame in Flutter (intended as a christmas present to my wife).

Whithout having any Dart or frontend or UI experience (I have always progammed backend and CLI apps), I could make a simple working game in maybe 10 hours - and it is mainly due to the instant feedback cycle.

The whole thing is less than 600 lines of Dart code. (and about 100 lines is to deep copy game state objects (for the undo functionality) as Dart can't do that automatically.

The design is simple, just circles, shadows and small animations (the player in turn gets magnified)[1], but with zero experience in the UI domain I actually barely beleive that I have made it ;)

Of course games are absolutely not affected by the native or not native widget issues, and also I did not use any advanced services from the platform, so can't say much about those weaknesses.

I was really happy with it, I would definitely recommend it to similar hobby/beginner projects.

Part of the issue with pedestrians, in the US, is they have priority over cars/buses/etc. I don't believe this is true in many other parts of the world. As the smallest, easiest to stop/start, and most likely to be injured, they probably should yield to other users.
Sure. Exceptional situations arise. And, maybe, if someone basically never travels and they have to make a one-off trip for a customer problem or whatever, maybe it makes sense for them to tell their boss they'll need to get a dogsitter or pay for a kennel or whatever and they'll want to expense it. (At which point boss probably looks at them funny, sighs, and says "whatever, sure.")

I did work for a company once that had an "offshore inconvenience allowance" fr when we were on rigs and shipyards. It was mostly in the vein of living conditions aren't great and you're working long hours, so here's some extra money. So that's one relatively fair comp mechanism you can use. But mostly it's just baked into people's normal comp plans.

In some circles yes, but discord is more replacing teamspeak/skype than steam directly. They are clearly pushing in valves direction, however (Discord has games too etc.).

> Movim is easy to deploy

I imagine a typical Tumblr user landing on this page and not getting a single word of the "easy to deploy" section. A lot of these distributed project suffer from this unfortunately. Developers not understanding what a typical user would look like.

Unless the user can click a button, enter a credit card and get an instance they are not going to use that service. And it has to look nice.
> And if a sales person invites a client to a strip club, they would do so understanding that it's a questionable thing to do,

Don't presume the sales person is inviting the client.

I do consulting now, and periodically have to go to client sites for presentations and training sessions. There's almost always a big client dinner one of the days we're there. Where we go out to eat, and what we do afterward, is usually driven by client suggestions. In my case, the "after dinner" activities almost always entailed some form of bar hopping, and has never included strip clubs. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't include strip clubs if that's what the client wanted, just that the specific clients I've serviced haven't ever had that particular inclination.

Note that I've only ever been the most senior person present from my company once, and therefore responsible for expensing the client-servicing night. The only direction I was given that time was to keep the client happy and to not blow past the budget for that trip (which had about $5k worth of cushion, after anticipated employee travel expenses). Most of the expenses are passed through to the client however (which is what dictates the budget), and some client agreements do have very strict stipulations on allowable pass-through expenses.
True, it was forest management, not just commercial logging.
But that's the thing, it absolutely is a gendered issue. Woman simply do not manspread. A lot of men do. And the real problem is men do this without even consciously realizing it. This is why raising attention to the issue is important. If men realize they're doing this, then they can choose not to do it (or they can decide to continue being rude of course).

> If you want to sit next to a guy spreading his legs, simply ask him to move over.

That is not an acceptable response. It's a fact that people in general do not feel comfortable talking to strangers on public transit. And it's especially true that women do not feel comfortable confronting strange men. Add to that the fact that everybody can be expected to understand that taking up a seat with their bag is rude, so nodding towards someone's bag as a way of asking "can I sit there?" is acceptable, but most men don't recognize that manspreading is a problem, so you can't just nod towards a seat to mean "can you please minimize your personal space so I can sit there?". You'd have to actually talk to someone, explain that they're taking up too much space, and hope that they don't react poorly to this. This is just not something you can expect people on public transit to do to complete strangers in general, and especially not something you can expect women to do to men.

Manspreading is pretty much exclusively a male problem, and "just ask the person to move" is an example of male privilege. And it's been going on long enough that apparently we do need to keep bringing this up over and over again in public discourse in order to get men to even recognize that there is a problem, much less work to fix it.

In general, it's difficult to make the case that runtime errors are preferable over compile-time errors, unless the difficulty to enable compile-time errors is significant. In the case of Optional<> as a language/DB type, I can't imagine much effort involved, except for uptake.

Especially given that it can trivially be optimized out, since the eventual assembly should very well make use of the 0x0 property. But if you can encode the guarantee in your "high-level" language, why would you not want it?

In fact, I'm not sure how anyone could imagine assert(n != null) scattered throughout the codebase is a pleasant situation, unless of course, as most do, you're skipping the safety check for unsafe reasons.
The majority of viewers are male, so I think it makes sense that the highest earners are also male - I would expect people, especially younger people, to gravitate towards YouTubers of the same gender. Also there are several gaming channels in the list of top YouTubers, which is also a category dominated by males.

Plus having the largest game in the world (at the moment) helps build some inertia towards early adoption if they use that to funnel people into the system. I don't need to "rebuild my contacts" if Fornite suddenly requires me to add myself to the EGS, because that just sort of sorts itself out.

Organizations are responsible for policing themselves. The only incentive they have for that is that the damage caused by "bad apple" may impact their bottom line. Per a book on risk management I'm currently reading, this actually is (or should be) accounted for in risk evaluation! So if we voluntarily refrain from punishing organizations for misbehavior of their people, we're severing the only feedback loop that keeps them from rotting completely.

> The super-special $350 bra is firmly in the boutique range which requires not just a fitting but a customer service of Saks, Barneys, La Perla boutiques or totally custom shops.

If they have a better multidimensional fit model that actually provides better value, and they can get word of mouth on that to get people in the door, they can get away with less boutique treatment the same way that Tesla can get away with less fit and finish than other similarly priced luxury cars.

Just because they are in the same price range in the same broad descriptive category doesn't mean they are selling the same thing.

Steam also has the bonus of supporting linux releases and I can go into just about any store and buy a $20 or $50 steam card I can use to add money to my account without using PayPal or linking a bank account or credit card.

Thesemuch the only reasons I use steam. Though I have to admit, their refund policy has been pretty great so far.

I've heard of the horror stories of steam but I don't play a lot of multiplayer games and don't interact on the community or anything so I think it should be ok. I am kind of leery of the idea of not really owning any of the games I buy and the possibility of them being taken away. But i'm guessing epic's store may work like this also.
Skin color comes from just three pigments: eumelanin, pheomelanin, and hemoglobin. There are more pigments than that in the paint mixer at the hardware store.
