"were any of you who are complaining in this thread planning on actually publishing an app for macOS"

I refuse to develop for Apple due to their anti-developer and anti-consumer policies.

So would I make Apps for Apple is they played nicely? Yes.

I would but I not really working on this anymore. There are some issues with MPS and Rust that we never fully figured out. MPS relies on scanning stack points and scaning the registers, some of those default function might not totally work with Rust.

We never figured out what the right approch was.

But there are defently very nice things you can do with Rust. The Servo team has to solve some of the same issues with and they have some interesting blogposts about memory managment.

They're closely related - like your two uncles, the German is a strict disciplinarian that it is hard not to find offputting, the English is quite enjoyable and chummy, but erratic, whimsical, and so apt to go off on flights of fancy that after an enjoyable conversation you are not sure what was really said.

There has never been an enjoyable conversation with the German uncle.

> The real estate industry was one of the most important constituencies supporting the development of the subway system in the early years. Developers enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the subway, which was extended into empty fields that were then swiftly and profitably blanketed with apartment houses whose residents then filled the trains. With the construction of the IND, that bargain began to break down—they saw new subways as more of a tax burden than a generator of big speculative profits.

That's a fascinating little tidbit. When the developers were able to negotiate with the subway firms on an equal basis, they saw them as assets and partners; but when they were no longer able to (because a government is never an equal partner: it can change the law any time it wishes), they just saw them as an imposition.

There's a lesson there about buy-in.
I am at peace with this.

One thing that helped me, was when I saw the ammount of taxes I pay :)

I am fairly capitalist, but I do hope one day we would achieve this weir socialist utopia where nobody would need to be working.

I definitely would see a problem with 'work should be compensated accordingly to the toll it takes on the body' because in the long run, don't we want to automate these kinds of jobs away?

Apologies for my disjointed thoughts, I wish you luck in your search for meaning :)
It’s not a “politically constructed reality.” It’s a reality constructed reality. Roads offer a relatively cheap and easy way of taking advantage of cheap, plentiful land in the US. There’s definitely subsidies we could get rid of (force property taxes to cover the costs of roads in the suburbs), but even if you did that I suspect most people would still opt to live in cheaper and bigger houses outside the city. (Especially if you got rid of corresponding subsidies in cities.)

The hubris of the software profession never ceases to amaze me. You have thousand-word screeds about the injustice of being required to attend a daily 15 minute meeting to catch up with your teammates, while being paid six figure salaries. I suggest getting a job in food service, or even construction if you want to see how the average laborer works. Tech is the softest industry ever created.

It's really just a non-issue. Flour could be compressed, but its not really in reality. The minor differences really don't matter much. Of course you can also sift it, which will not only help if it was somehow really heavily compressed but also breaks up clumps.
quicker than hashing the file, you might want to compare exif data (extract with exiftool), i have been comparing image date/time (to the second) as tagged by the camera, and when i find a duplicate, i keep the one with the largest image size. I've not worked out how to deal with those without exiftags. I understand ShotWell hashes the thumbnail to find dupes. The security camera software motion has some image comparison and to determine if the camera image has changed since the last image, i think it was visual in nature, rather than hashing, since webcams are "noisy".
That's not the problem, that's the design!

There are various ways around this if you know what you're doing.

Because Iraq is a chaotic mess where we are generally impressed if it isn't literally exploding. It's not that shutting the internet off is acceptable, it's that compared to everything else that happens/has happened in Iraq, that's insignificant.

We hold (supposedly) functional, developed places to a higher standard in what we expect from them, and it takes smaller acts of injustice or violence to be noteworthy.

As an Italian programmer working and living in the UK for the last 10 and counting years, I can feel the pain.

I'm at the point that I can have a technical conversation with all my colleagues without issues, but when moving to more mundane subjects, I have difficulties following the conversation. As many, I have learned most of my English vocabulary by reading (I'm at the point that I can read a book written in English as well as an Italian book, and I vastly prefer to read in the original language when I can), but that means that I do not know the pronunciation of most of the words.

Also when going out of London (where 50% of the population is not native and the natives, especially in professional environments, are used to deal with us non natives), I really have an hard time understanding the various accents.

This sounds like we're missing the "trusted editor" role. In a vaccuum of trusted editors, I'd like to see lineage information of all kinds of information saved, whether it be assertions, opinions, data, etc. This would be lineage metadata showing the evolution of a piece of information. All the way back to reproducible code or first source material. By "reproducible code", I mean a kind of code that does not exist yet today, but I hope to see, a Terraform/Pulumi-like <science/engineering/endeavor>-as-Code, expressing in automated code a way to reproduce or at best record in granular detail a scientific (chemistry, astronomy, climate, etc.), engineering (mechanical, pipefitting, construction, etc.), or human endeavor (legislation, law, regulatory compliance, etc.) conclusion or outcome. Then we'd have a path forward to automatically test the reproducibility of information, and at least have the automated start of the evaluation of "truth".

We're in the infancy of the Internet's potential, and already the energetic and cognitive load is significantly, notably expensive to ascertain even the reproducibility of facts, not to speak of the veracity of information. I've toyed around with creating my own private information repository in the form of my own Internet Archive, tagging and adding metadata/metacommentary with my own private evaluations, as I've found myself increasingly taking notes of information I consume to avoid duplicating work I did earlier to find source material while establishing the veracity of what I'm consuming (which ranges from "damifino" to "I reproduced this first-hand"), but the notes are becoming too cumbersome to maintain in Emacs Org.

Tangential rant:

The publishing industry pushes more and more cookbooks every year, and between traditional cookbooks and more recent YouTube channels, most recipes are much more fantasy entertainment than serious attempts at trying to get people to take more control over how their food is made.

The problem is that cookbook recipes distort the flow of food preparation:

Find an appealing recipe -> look up the necessary ingredients -> buy the ingredients -> take the ingredients home and make the recipe

This motivates people to purchase ingredients which are not in season, i.e. purchasing tomatoes to make tomato salad when tomatoes are not in season. This generates demand for produce which is lacking in flavor and nutrition, with an outsize environmental impact due to being shipped thousands of miles[1].

The proper flow is to go to a local farmer's market -> buy what is local and in-season (with a side benefit that it will be cheap, since the farmer has little control over the date of harvest and everything has to be sold before it rots) and in great quantities -> figure out how to make it once you get home, taking advantage of other produce which is in season, fresh ingredients which are available all year round (i.e. meat, dairy, eggs), and shelf-stable pantry staples.

This flow yields food which is simultaneously tastier and more affordable - but you have to learn how to cook as an independent life skill, and not constantly rely upon recipes.

Amazing app!!
My main takeaway was that booming food courts lead at least some naive would-be restauranteurs to think that opening a stall is straightforward and many don't do nearly enough up-front planning and thinking.

I do suspect the whole upscale food court trend is probably overheated right now but most of them do seem to still get a lot of traffic.
The massively disappointing thing about modern food halls is that they aren’t like classic ones in Seattle, Toronto, or other places where you can actually get groceries. There should be, at minimum, local bread, meat, produce, and dairy at any of these places. Instead it’s all overpriced food porn.
One of the fascinating aspects of any user-generated-and-shared experience is that community forms. From original forums hoping to foster community to blog posts where folks live in comments to the rise of wikis and the the communities there, to the current optimization of "social networks", what makes the content good is the community who is willing to contribute to it. Just a pure "look for questions and answer them" will fail, and has over and over again, even with payment/bounties for answers, unless a community can form that takes pride in sharing knowledge, keeping things accurate, and trying to help. And once it declines, as these things can, into arguments from the louder voices, then the community suffers... and so does the quality of content moving forward.

So, without community, you wouldn't have the answers, and without the answers, folks stop asking the questions.

As an American I would be somewhat alarmed by the claim that the Chinese millennials are not "rebellious" or anti-their-government.

But as someone born on the African continent I would shrug this off as a mistranslation between Marx & Lenin, Inc. and both the East and Africa. When communism came to Africa the response was: "Oh, you mean tribalism." I suspect that the East may have had a similar mistranslation in the gears turning China way back in the early 20th century.

What stopped you from moving to the UK? If it's Brexit, consider a move to Ireland instead. While PHP is not a strong language here, Python developers are in high demand.
Knowing a language is not just being able to read/write but to be able to talk. It's a completely different level: you pass from 'turn based' to 'real time'. To learn languages nothing beats immersion and is even more difficult when you lean toward introvertion. You don't need perfect grammar but you do need to be able to "tame" the language.

Don't worry, endlessly escalating software complexity will keep us all busy. I love current MacOS but my perception it's never been quite as bug-free as it was in the Snow Leopard era. And I attribute that to increasing complexity.

Of course, some interruptions like lunch or the end of the day are unavoidable.

Phone calls and texts? Don't let your developers do them.

> To single out 'standup' as a particularly disruptive interruption may be exaggeration.

It isn't an exaggeration, because a standup is also a pending appointment and a mini-presentation. A lot of developer types actually get stressed out about this, no matter how small.

Similar thing with responding to an e-mail. It's insane how much time some people spend on just a one line reply.

Just minimize these things, don't make them part of your routine for routine's sake.

THIS 100x!

I'll extend this even further: what if, after several years of all of this civilian engineering/infrastructure work being done, tons of expertise would have been built up...Then "sell" that expertise - either as a country to other countries, or as workers create their own smaller firms to look for work in other countries. Other countries would ideally hire American workers - because tons of expertise in infrastructure building - then these other countries could build up their own infrastructures, and so on, and so on....I can even imagine that our workers helping other countries (to build themselves up) might actually avoid some conflicts in the world - thereby avoiding needing such a heavy, expensive military in the first place. Ok, perhaps my premise is a little naive or idealistic...but I'm sure it would work in some pockets, and at least we (and a few other countries) would have some decent infrastructure remaining. So far, for all of our heavy, expensive, and excessive military spending, what do we have to show for it - mountains of debt, more people in the world hating Americans, our own people victims to PTSD?? President Eisenhower was correct.
"It was a meeting for ourselves, not for management. There were no status reports to management, no gantt charts, no percentage estimates of completion, etc. Just: here's what I'm doing/not doing."

That's my understanding of what a standup is supposed to be, and it's what my experience of them has been. THIS is useful. It's in particular useful if you have devs on the team who tend to get kinda "wound around the axle" on problems rather than speak up or seek help.

There will always be devs who think any meeting is by definition a waste of time, and you can't make those people happy, but a true brief standup meeting as described here is SUPER useful.

(Daily's probably too much though.)

And how can the low-income populace effectively utilize Bitcoin when they have limited access to technology?

Look, I agree there are... issues with current currencies. Most of which are problems that are nothing new. At all. They've plagued the concept of currency since the first coin was ever minted in antiquity. But ANOTHER currency, based on random equations that are "difficult" for a computer to process to act like it has "value", especially due to difficultly and scarcity, is no better. At all. Especially with the fact that Bitcoin is another Austria when it comes to the amount of CO2 it produces in the excess frivolous need of energy due to it.

But the argument that it's going to help the poor or the bottom 2 billion people of the planet, with "no access to government currency" is the dumbest fucking idea on the planet other than flat earth or anti-vax. When someone doesn't have access to clean water or regular amounts of food daily, let alone internet access, wtf makes you think bitcoin when change anything? Other than charity, which is already done with them evil fiat currencies. Especially since the distribution of bitcoin is just as bad as the current currency systems. "Wealth" if you can call it that in bitcoin, is held with the major server farms instead of the banks/gov. It's just renaming the wealth holder. That's all it is. Your wealth redistribution is just redistributing it so someone else can have ultimate control. It's not "for the masses". It's just a different group of "elites".

And we're not on the gold system anymore for fuck's sake! Stop using that as an argument! Current currency value is more dependent on import/export ratios than any other one thing. To clarify, major currencies are now on hybrid systems based on many, many factors that a stupid 10 minute youtube cartoon cannot cover. It's been that way since shortly after WW2 due to all the economic troubles that caused. The system has been refined constantly ever since. Go to a library and pick up an actual book. Want to know how said book is accurate? Because once you have a base knowledge of how the system ACTUALLY works, you can track and predict the currency markets (trade in general) with about an 80% accuracy on a 10 day spread with general geopolitics daily tracking. Something I do (though, for a handful of countries). And I'm an idiot. Those are crayon playing, helmet wearing numbers compared to actual pros in global markets.

Stop watching youtube for financial advice. Read a book or two.

If we had to base a currency on anything. Nitrogen injected containers full of beans. That, right there. I'd vote for that. Fuck gold. Fuck digital equations. Beans. Your currency is based on how many 55 gallon nitrogen injected drums of beans you have. Better use it in 50 years though. But it at least has intrinsic value and "infinite" growth potential to adapt to growing population bases... That's still a silly idea by the way.
