This is the dark pattern exactly and nothing to do with annual subscriptions as a business process. I'm not sure why people are willing to put up with it. If I have an annual renewal, I should be reminded. Actively encouraging and/or relying on your users to forget the renewal date is scummy, simple-as.

As another poster mentioned, this is such a problem that Visa have encoded this in the user terms. In the EU, you have to remind your users 7 days in advance of the renewal date if the subscription has been greater than 6 months.

Saying that this is "just the way it is" completely ignores the actual issue.
But if they have your face from another source and it's good enough to authenticate, that doesn't matter. Your face is a good strong password, but what good is that if it leaks? You can't reset your face like a password, after all.

At least with fingerprints you have 9 extra passwords you can use if your index finger print leaks (I bet my prints are already out there just from getting pre employment background checks from workplaces with hulking old school IT bureaucracies and a workforce pounded daily by phishing attempts).

That's about the only gimme, and it'll only cover a portion of the hypothetical payoff for the ad - some other, potentially larger, number of people never click, but do remember and come back later. Or if you're trying to sell things in meatspace, it's really hard to ever be able to say, "More people came to our store because we ran an ad."

If you do get enough profit from directly traceable conversions to cover the campaign, yeah, that's a gimme - you may not know your actual ROI, but you do know that its lowest possible value is still positive. That said, I don't work in adtech, so I don't really have any way of knowing how common that is.

Learning how to ask a good technical question is an extremely valuable skill in and of itself, and StackOverflow is one of the few ways you can learn to do it. Just as you've said - if you ask a coworker (or a real person in general) they'll work with you to dig the question out, but they aren't really teaching you how to ask it more efficiently in the first place. They aren't giving you specific feedback on your question.

StackOverflow on the other hand will often give you an actual critique of your question. That criticism can be really frustrating, but it's often good for you (it has been for me). Often the problem is a problem only because of how you perceive the problem space, or you're wrong about fundamentals. Other times you're not including important details because you didn't know they were important and just having that pointed out can help, or this problem is of a known form with a known solution - you just didn't know the "magic words."

There's even something to be said for forcing people to learn a bit about the community before jumping into it. As annoying as that is and as much as it is an on boarding obstacle - it helps people work together. The on boarding process for a driver's license sucks and puts up tons of barriers, but with good reason.

I don't disagree with anything you've said, or deny that super rude and unhelpful behavior occurs there, I just want to say that some of the "bugs" of StackOverflow are probably "features."

I don't think Firefox or Chrome can do that can it?

That's what the concept of "Finalizers" is for. They indicate that something should be done to an object just before the runtime garbage collects it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finalizer

Files specifically are a bit thorny because the OS generally places a limit on how many simultaneous open files a process can have, and you don't want to risk bumping in to that limit due to unpredictable garbage collection timing.

I fully agree. But the intersection of people who read articles like this and buy their food at Walmart (or any other source that specifically tries to be low cost) and pay attention to the prices is likely quite small so people who tend to read and discuss these kinds of articles forget how cheap food can be at the low end.

Eggs at my local Walmart are $1.20-$1.70/dozen (depending on large/medium/small/white/brown), milk is $2.19/gal and you can get several different large loafs of wheat (or white) bread for under $2. It's been awhile since I've done the shopping but IIRC boneless chicken breast is under $2/lb and ground beef is $3.xx/lb.

This is an extremely simplistic reading of a complex real-world issue. There multiple other factors that almost definitely dominated the changes you cite. Including population growth, other massive changes in the regulatory, political, economic, and technical environment... Point being, mentioning one shift in the labor supply is really not a useful frame for "the state of labor in the US."

>Are there occasions where having natural gas available in a house would be essential?

Maybe not in California (Southern), but in colder climates there is definitely an advantage. I was once in a North East Ice storm where there was a deep freeze after a warm spell that brought down the electrical lines. We were without power for 2 days in sub freezing temps and the gas fireplace kept the house warm.

I'm sure in California where they don't require any heat, you could get away with just electric service as long as it remains affordable.

But why let the definition of the term "10x" be hijacked by the kind of people you describe? We still need a way to succinctly describe engineers who are an order of magnitude more effective than average. Can't we let "10x" continue to mean what it's always meant, and agree on a new term for toxic team members?
I don't mean to be pedantic here, but again, I think you have to further unpack how different parties interpret the word "better."

A UI/UX expert trying to drive new user engagement has a different definition of "better" than one trying to lengthen the average user-session length of "power users" above some usage threshold, for a random example. Or someone optimizing the new user sign-up flow.

If the goal is information density, then yes, whitespace can often be antithetical to that. If you are trying to make money with a website/app, increasing whitespace can be done for any of a myriad of reasons depending on business goals.

The idea of having one answer to "is whitespace better," and saying "experts say yes but I say no" is just such a myopic view of the world of interface design...

You don't go in a bar for a deep conversation, you have the library and local groups of interests for that. A bar is just for relaxing and socialization, you can talk anything you want as long as you find someone to listen (or ignore) you.
This is also a “10x and I’m sorry” issue. The unicorns write a prototype which is then handed to lesser mortals for maintenance.

No. I was just thinking it’s basically denialism at this point yet I still run into engineers that think memory management is no biggie.

It's a lot less centralized than it used to be (eg: Flash Portals), and you're right that there isn't the same iconic replacement as Flash's WYSIWYG editor, but I think there are a lot more browser-playable tools and options than there used to be. [1]

We can both probably agree that real estate property value has a loose correlation with actual value, and is subject to a large number of external factors. Not least the suboptimal-for-community inflationary pressured California is infamous for.

By partially abating taxes, you're simply adjusting profit calculation for a plot of land for a specific use.

I suppose you could possibly argue for the Eastern Empire? Maybe? But then that's still built upon the core of the original polytheistic structure, and I don't think it's a strong argument that Christianity played into it.

If anything Christianity seems to cause a problem for organized military - after Rome we don't see an organized, professional military for another thousand years. People may think of "the crusades", but let's be honest, the majority of that was really more a rag-tag rabble causing trouble, rather than any sort of organized and united fighting force.

Saying this doesn't mean I condone what the US is doing with Latin Americans right now, but the way you frame it suggests that China and Russia aren't doing things that many of us in the West find reprehensible. They are authoritarian regimes after all. (Again, that's not saying the West doesn't also do these things, but I do think there is a clear difference in degrees. I don't think my belief is uncommon either).

More importantly, the comment comes off like we shouldn't criticize them. Why not? (We should also criticize the West, because frankly that an essential part of democracy)

As someone who has reasonable experience founding a company, hiring, training, motivating and managing developers and teams, I feel I can tell you what I really believe:

Forget 10x developers. Forget berating developers for checking in code that doesn’t compile.

If you are planning to build a real growing company, You need to progressively put more stress on your SYSTEM. That is your job.

Have a kickass onboarding set of tutorials and documentation for everyone. Have a culture that anyone can assign an issue to anyone, instead of interrupting them. They can get feedback via updates on issues.

Use pre-commit and post-commit hooks to catch as many mistakes as possible, and clean up team formatting standards for your code.

Hire developers who are super familiar with whatever technology (language, platform, techniques) that you need them to work on. But NO ONE SHOULD BE A HERO, everyone’s code should be easily understandable, use only the simplest language features to get the job done (but no simpler), and be documented. Accrue no code code debt.

Each developer’s work should be documented and tested, preferably by someone other than themselves.

Each developer should be replaceable. That extra 30% cost spent on fully documenting and testing their code means months saved onboarding someone to take over.

Working remotely is actually GOOD. Working asynchronously 90% of the time is even BETTER. Everything in your system should assume people don’t share time or space.

People live lives. Companies build products. That is our motto. It means exactly this... ask yourself whether you are building a product, and if so, do not give responsibility to PEOPLE, but to the system. If they take a day off to spend with their kids, or work 3 hours a day, it shouldn’t have a major effect on the product.

And our compensation model reflects this, too. Instead of full-time employees, feel free to take anything from this:

In c# you can implement IDisposable. The garbage collector will call a dispose method allowing you piggyback on the garbage collector for just about anything.

But it's rarely a good idea to piggyback. Most resources are much more limited or time sensitive than memory. So you should free them immediately.

Even when your resource -is- memory it sometimes is a very very very bad idea to free via garbage collection.
One lesson we can all learn from this: You don't hire a x10 engineer, you nuture it. Year by year, as an engineer develops more and more of the skills required, their productivity increases. A lot of engineers doing hiring, think they can just get one of these engineers off the shelf by paying some recruiter 50 grand to make one materialize. It doesn't work that way. x10 engineers are born of years of company specific specialized labor.

Both the Lion King and Kimba are based on Hamlet...

And the story of the Lion King has almost nothing in common with Kimba. Have you actually read the manga or watched the anime? The anime is about the cub growing up, which the movie entirely skips over. Kimbas life before the anime is completely different.

While minor scene elements and secondary characters were inspired by the anime they don't rise to the level of requiring credit.
