I think the implication is that by taking a fee, they were implicitly saying that work was done. But the investigation seems to be about whether they were actually doing anything with the money.

Making a prudent decision to sit on cash when there are no good investments is one thing. Planning to defraud your investors is entirely another.
Yea I think you're exactly right.

There's this formality to RSVP's that I took very seriously in my development.

Little things like allowing guests to be reordered in the guest list - when I first showed that to my friends, it didn't seem like a big deal, but once I explained that certain guests could be offended by being at the bottom of the guest list (considering they're only at the bottom because of the way the host entered them), it made sense to those I was showing.

Another big thing was the ease of use in filling in the form for the guests. In my [example RSVP page](https://www.rsvpkeeper.com/rsvp/08c084c7-ecf2-4aed-8cfc-4fe6...) you can see how that works if you haven't already visited it.

I really focused on making it as simple and clean as possible. I don't even allow theming just yet because I felt that would just distract and confuse the guest filling out their form. This is all done to the benefit of the host of course - so they can capture the highest number of RSVP's for their event.

Thanks for your insight and comments.
its doesn't seem too far fetched given the history of israeli spying in the US - citation or not.
Ignoring the feature set, is data retention policy not a consideration? For us, we paste customer log data for debugging purposes, and Discord's lack of a clear enterprise data retention policy means that we're not assured customer data isn't winding up where it shouldn't be.

Honestly I couldn't care about gifs/emojis/themes/threads/etc, but also the lack of SSO means it's a giant security issue. What if one of your devs loses their password, and you can't mandate 2 factor because Discord sign in is out of your control?
On average? No. It's easier for developers to target only one platform and switching browsers is easy enough for the average user that developers don't see much problem in putting the blame on the browser. Chrome also has greater marketing power backing it than other browsers, so it's the easy choice. That's what happens.

Should you care? I think yes. I don't want the internet to be at the whims of a single entity. It's like authoritarianism vs democracy or having a monopolistic market vs a competitive one. What's best for the tech ecosystem isn't something the average developer thinks or cares about, though. When I show my co-workers how our front-end breaks when using Firefox, they often mistake my concern of portability to be favoritism towards Firefox. I'd use other browsers, but it would just make it harder to convince them to take the bugs seriously.
Slightly embarrassing that they don't have screenshots on their site.
This isn't related at all. OP just wants a better job, they never stated they wanted to be rolling in it as some CEO somewhere. This is about just living, not striking it rich.

As a remote worker I find myself isolated a lot, mostly spending time with my kids. Although I love them, that on its own can be tough. My partner recently left me though and the isolation has become particularly awful. I lost a job over it which was unprecedented and a major blow to my ego. I've gotten past the initial shock, but the damage it did is still evident in my life.

I guess I'm okay, but I don't feel okay. I'm alone. I have a lot of friends but it feels as though I've been isolated too long to really leverage those friendships. I made major changes in my life for her, many at my expense and her benefit. In retrospect I was unwittingly setting her up to leave comfortably. If our roles were reversed people would think I did something absolutely heinous to her by leaving like that. I don't think anyone really cares what position this puts me in.

I'm fortunate in that I found a small amount of work serendipitously, but it's nowhere near enough. I put a lot of time, consideration, and effort into finding the job I lost as it fit the way my life is at the moment (staying home, caring for a 2, 9, and 10 year old). I don't think I'm going to stumble into that again. The job search has been soul crushing. So many jobs I can do, so few with a schedule I can fit into.

On the bright side I went for a dive a couple weeks ago and swam with some harbour seals, a really big salmon shark, and saw some otters. I speared some fish and brought them home to my kids and made fish tacos. That was really fun. We're going to blast off a huge rocket we built this weekend. There's plenty to feel okay about.
You can say it's disingenuous, but I used to hit that issue fairly regularly. I've seen that complaint more than once, so I assume a large subset of users did as well. Habits built over years won't vanish just because you add a track pad.

It now widens when you move the cursor near it, so they have mitigated the issue.
Given all of the layoffs that company have just conducted- who is core to their business?
Two months ago I developed similar symptoms: a persistent, dull pain in the right abdominal region combined with fatigue. CT revealed mild inflammation and slightly enlarged lymph nodes.

It's a difficult situation because these indicators are so nonspecific. (Fittingly, the pain includes the right hypochondrium.)

I have essentially no confidence in the capacity of medical professionals to act upon any other than the most common and obvious clinical signs. Maybe because of its association with high social status, the medical profession seems to preferentially attract the sort of rigid and uninquisitive mind ill-suited for this complex and nebulous problem domain. To add insult to literal injury, unless one has the resources to obtain highly individualized medical attention, symptoms will almost certainly be classified as psychosomatic after perfunctory screening fails to reveal some clear-cut cluster of abnormal measurements -- as if all internal pain was a product of the mind before the advent of medical testing.

Best of luck to you in finding relief. Reach out if you'd like to discuss this further.
If you took away the human input, that wouldn't sound anything like the Beatles.

The last I heard, the person responsible for this is now working for Spotify. So I wonder if the plan is to eliminate human composers altogether and create a muzak machine that doesn't need to pay out streaming fees to creators.

I suspect that won't work - except maybe for the most wallpaper-y music genres.

> My boss calls me stupid, incompetent, r*tarded, and "like you have part of your brain missing". He grills me on literally everything I do, like why I'm getting up from my desk or why I'm eating what I brought for lunch.

yeah... that's not normal even a little bit. look for a new job. i have a hard time that any company that allows that kind of behavior is any better in any other department so get out ASAP!
I didn't like the adoption of Slack either.

I think https://clojureverse.org/ is a much better place for discussion.
If we can see them, we can study them. We could aim radars at them to image their size/shape. We could aim lasers at them to study their surfaces. We could measure any impacts they have on magnetic fields or the solar wind, perhaps giving us insight into their means of propulsion. Sin short, if we are ready there is much that can be done short of physical contact. The real question is whether we would want to take such risks.
Maybe I'm just projecting, but I think software appeals to people who like clear, logical, black-and-white thinking. That in turn means the profession has a higher-than-average number of perfectionists. For a perfectionist, doing 90% of a good job subjectively feels much closer to 0%, so there's a lot of anxiety around things not being as good as they could/should be.
FWIW, I thought it might be something like E-Prime but instead it's a little bit like Loglan, eh?

How do you realistically expect to prevent a company (that uses facial recognition for perhaps useful features e.g. tagging) from scanning your face? For it to know that the pixels it sees is your face, it has to have a model of your face somewhere. I guess there is no good solution to this problem.
1) Aren't python and java "old" now? 20-25 years? C is... what, 40 years old?

2) Python ??? profit? Maybe if Ruby on Rails was up there...

3) Define easy to use...

4) Nodejs and the rapidly changing quicksand of JS, IMO is not easy to use, thus my confusion on point #3.
I’m not sure I understand your first and third complaints and the second one is why const exists.

Seconded.

Any IRC channel I've been to that develops into a community spends 90+% time talking about everything else except the topic it's ostensibly about. It's weird from the POV of the newcomers, but for old-timers, most of the on-topic things were talked about to death many times over already.

Participation is not control. Mozilla cannot make decisions about Rust’s future. They can participate in the open process to make those decisions, but we operate on consensus, and they’re a small minority of the stakeholders.
> The new friends I make here just aren't as fulfilling.

Someone once told me that most people you meet, when you move later in life, are acquaintances, not friends. I found that very true, in hindsight.
Everyone should have a prep checklist, and letting someone know where you are, how long you will be there, and having a plan to survive that duration should be the foundation of it. Great call.
Dude, you need 1) a kick in the nuts and 2) a chill pill. Your work is stupid, I know. Just stop giving a shit. Start taking risks and see what happens. Call in sick and play banjo or something. Act stupid. You need to act stupid every once in a while or you'll go crazy. You might like it, you might not, but you'll never know until you try..
I'm just like you. I use Elixir for anything serious and Haskell for personal or small scale projects.

The way I see it is that Haskell abstracts away the runtime considerations. You spend the majority of your time modeling your business domain in Haskell. Or rather, retrofitting your business model into Haskell's type system.

In Elixir, in contrast, you spend the majority of your time building systems, in other words on runtime problems. All the tooling and even the whole OTP revolves around this. For anything that runs on the web, this is a major benefit compared to Haskell.
In the projects I work on (which are usually small) I use plain C strings.
5th: I've wanted dark mode in slack for a long time and would not have heard about it without this post.
I think the proposal for scrollbar-width:thin is good enough for cases where you have a secondary scrollable area in your site or application. Styles beyond that will just become too confusing.
What do you consider legacy JS/CSS/HTML? Do you mean HTML features like contentEditable? Do you mean JS eval()?
I would argue that at least 110 people (as of this comment's posting) disagree with you. Yay democracy!
It depends. If I'm writing a library, it's bare pointers. If I'm writing something not a library that's big enough, I'll use a struct {size_t length; char* string;} where the length is the string length, and string contains (length) characters + a nul byte. I might even mix in allocation data for the total allocated size of the buffer if it's important enough.

Simple to implement and use (and also backwards compatible), provided you have a library of common functions for allocating, copying, etc.

If I'm size constrained, I'll consider uint16_t for the length field. If I'm REALLY size constrained, I'll use a VLQ [1] for the length field and take the slight performance hit.

[1] https://github.com/kstenerud/vlq/blob/master/vlq-specificati...
> For one thing how big (sizeof) should the length prefix be? 16-bits? 32-bits? 64-bits?

size_t, or uintptr_t [1]. Maybe uint32_t, although given pointer alignment, smaller-than-pointer for size doesn't help all that much.

> The beauty of the C string is that it is minimal and straightforward: if you have a pointer to it, you know where it ends.

And if you screw up adding a null byte, client code will happily keep running through the rest of memory to find it. And if your string has embedded nulls, you're SOL anyways.

> And it works with pretty much any OS out there.

And for safety reasons, the OS generally has to assume a maximum length anyways, otherwise, you tend to have security vulnerabilities.

[1] size_t is not necessarily the same size as uintptr_t. An architecture with a 64-bit base pointer shared across several 32-bit indexes is an interesting idea that could use some more programming exploration.
> I'm no fan of Rep Ilhan Omar, but I find the antisemitism charges against her absurd.

Yes, that situation seems comparable to the smears of antisemitism thrown against Jeremy Corbyn too.
My solution to this is http://attrs.org or dataclasses. They make a huge difference in readability and type safety.
Thanks for asking! I’m going to reflect on this question some more.
> Apple, Google, and game makers need to understand what's happening here.

I'm pretty sure Apple understands. That seems like the whole point behind their new game subscription deal - the games included aren't allowed to have microtransactions. On the other end of things their screen time and ask to buy features are global, powerful, and not super hard to discover.

Google has similar parental control tools, though that's tempered by the fact that they can't be made global. The Fortnite port on Android, for instance, completely side steps it.

That said, I'm pretty sure neither stores make distinction between gambling and other forms of in app purchases.
It's not a new problem and MIME was intended to give people the choice. Not everyone likes plain text emails or terminal email clients. The solution may be forcing email senders to include text/plain as well as text/html.

The only problem I guess is that the last release was over three years ago, and some bugs are starting to show (saying nothing of any added features). The pace of the npm environment is moving so fast, that it's sometimes hard to even get a project up and running.

Things feel a little stale.

For example (from this week of my adventures with Foundation for Emails) Google Fonts almost sort of work for email, but there's just no real easy way to tell this framework to use them, or call any web font.
I’d object to “shilling”, but I still advocate for Rust. Mozilla plays no part in my decision to do so, for better or for worse, for exactly that reason: they’re not in control of it, so I’m not sure why that’s relevant.
I used to like MacOS's subtler than Windows approach to scrollbars, but they became too subtle. They were lovely in Snow Leopard: Gently aqua coloured, arrows, large enough for middle aged (or overworked, and in a hurry) eyes. Obvious.

Then they went to Lion and ruined them: grey and almost invisible by design. Magical mystery popping into existence when you hover where it ought to be. Probably. I think this is when they inverted the magic mouse scroll behaviour to pretend like your iMac was an iPhone.
Of course dark modes and dark themes have been around for a long time, but the user you are responding to specifically pointed to the 'rise of dark' mode, meaning the recent explosion in popularity
How are you going to define legacy? I'm not sure how you could whittle down the web platform in an agreed way.
This shit is what now fills up over half of my google searches with listicals and generally fake sites touting deals on any of my search terms.

What annoys me now is that copy catting a decent article and just filling it full of ad shit, ranks so well. :( gone are the days where googling for something felt good, it's now a web of sales tactics and copied texts.
Same for me. I have a 'newsletters' folder which is the only one for which mutt will try to show me the HTML part first. Otherwise, it's plain text.
No idea, but they tolerated Israel blowing up a US navy ship and killing sailors so I'm sure they'll give this one a pass too.

That made me go out and buy an Xbox so I could play Doom and other mindless games to wind down.
Alternatively, schools assume responsibility for giving students a broad, general background and teaching them to think abstractly, with higher education involved in teaching students theoretical aspects of their concentration.

At the same time, employers will just have to train employees on the specific technologies and tools they need them to use in practice, rather than offloading the burden to society at large.

This also ameliorates the 'retraining' problem for older workers.
A lot of difficulty sleeping lately, occasional restless legs don't help.

I tend to overcompensate quite a lot (due to an underlying belief of not being good enough, which of course goes back to childhood and has been the topic of years of therapy) sothe desire to distract myself by working late and getting more done compounds that.

Still, putting it into the perspective of the last two or three years it's a slow but steady climb back out of the rabbit hole that was intense depression, dependence on therapy, multiple attempted suicides, an existential crisis after I didn't know who I really was any more, loneliness, moving countries multiple times, and suffering some deep loss.

Going from working completely remote, in isolation, and now making it to the office every day and being more outgoing has been a great improvement. There are more people I enjoy spending time with, and I feel really good in their company. It's great to say that I'm more okay now than I was earlier this year, and for those years previously.

I certainly wouldn't relive that period by choice but it's getting to the point where I consider it to be character defining as opposed to a shitty series of events. A lot of love, compassion and forgiveness came out of that.

Write less code, and read more (code by others) instead.

Learn different languages (especially functional ones, I can recommend Elixir). It'll inspire you to see different paradigms.

Think about well defined functions, modularity, simplicity. Check out the zen of python. Watch talks by Rich Hickey and other knowledgable+smart people.

Look at well-regarded code-bases, try to understand why others write things the way they do. Chromium is widely considered an amazing piece of code.

Post your code online and ask for advice. When you're told off because your code doesn't follow best practices, ask which best practices are meant, and start following them once you understood the reasoning behind them. [...]
> I have a strong preference that webpages don't try to style the scrollbar (with exceptions when it really makes sense).

That's the crux of the problem: the only time a website makes changes to the scrollbar is when the author thinks it makes sense.

I just disagree all of the time.
Something I noticed the other day. If you watch the credits for Ralph Breaks the Internet, it has a scroll bar on the right that accurately reflects the current position in relation to the entire credit roll.

It was quite useful!
