But distinguishing PR bullshit from actual practice is essential when navigating the dystopia.
“Real agile” relies on a thorough suite of tests, a stable team that understands the domain and the codebase, and clear explanations of problems rather than a shopping list of solutions. Most teams don’t work in such an environment, so safe refactoring is impossible. Instead it’s just a whole series of shotgun surgery appointments.
Britain already used its own currency, so they didn't have the same sort of 'Greece and Spain suffering to subsidize German exports' effect going on. So I don't think this particular issue will be different from before Brexit.

ETA: It will matter if the City continues to dominate European financial transactions, because it is the tremendous amount of money that goes to the City which keeps the Pound priced above the levels that are good for manufacturing exports. If the multinationals all move to Hamburg or wherever, the Pound (probably) loses in value and British manufactured goods become more competitive on the global market. In theory. Possibly. Who knows?

Didn't see your reply before this, sorry.

I hear what you're saying – but! – a tech giant has to play the long game. The Web is an open (for now) platform and Microsoft, like Apple, like Google, need to have their own web client/server implementation. Makes no sense to be beholden to Google imho.

I'm stunned at how little desktop browser share Edge has (4.6%): https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/worl... – however, changing browser engine is not going to change that, is it? I suppose, if Google and Microsoft end up equally and democratically sharing Chromium development then all's well.

Given the recent layoffs at Mozilla it's a pity (in hindsight – for the benefit of the open web) Microsoft didn't back them :(

Anyhow, thanks for the response.
A good way to figure out whether this kind of claim is marketing bullshit, is to look for a PR claim that goes the other way: that Apple or whoever helps the FBI find uploaded images of child sexual abuse. If they are matching on your data, they can’t be encrypting it; if they’re encrypting it, they can’t be matching on it. It’s one or the other.

And, well, Apple have confirmed that they‘re matching on your data[1]. So, guess what?

Medium's policy doesn't seem to ask for rights to create derivative works and such. I found the verbage unnecessarily broad for what i know is likely to be narrowly applied. If RoamResearch decides to declare that all public content on Roam is relicensed under public domain tomorrow, that would seem within the scope of the policy as stated, though perhaps not within the scope of applicable law.

The biggest problem with rewrites is that you need someone who understands how the old system works, and why it works that way. Sometimes there are good reasons for why something is a mess, that were the result of long iterations over customer requirements. And sometimes things are just a mess, because. If you are walking into a codebase cold, you don't know which is which, without doing a lot of archeology - assuming, of course, that more than potsherds of that train of cognition is left buried in the commit messages, JIRA tickets, and email archives you have access to.

Of the traditional musical instruments we have, I think 8 bit waveforms probably lend themselves well to the organ (more so than other instruments: strings have decay and vibrato, even other keyboard instruments have decay and tonal qualities).

Additionally, contrapuntal baroque music probably worked quite well for the constrained environment the hardware provided by way of number of voices and length of music...

I think the ironic thing about Spolsky's example is that, in the end, it worked. It eventually gave birth to Firefox. So I think there are many lessons to be learned about how to do a rewrite, how to message it, how to do it in a way that it doesn't stop other forward progress. But if a rewrite fails, that doesn't necessarily mean that not doing a rewrite would have been any more successful in the end, and that's the trap I think people fall into.

I Miss My Mac
My father passed away suddenly when I and my younger brother were still studying, 29 years ago this week. It took us a decade to pick up the pieces and I don't think we ever became whole again.

I think the question of suddenness vs a slower passing is very much to do with general state of affairs. Are there people dependent? Are there a lot of open threads which need some confusion? Is it below the average age (not that it should matter)? Or are they enjoying their life, perhaps in comfortable retirement?

The passing of a parent would be traumatic in nearly all cases? Can the pain (of an extended illness) be reduced? Or the chaos of a sudden death?
Certainly, there might be ways of achieving this; but in terms of talking about the continuation of our species as a whole, does it matter if people today can do it? Us flesh-and-blood humans can live out our limited flesh-and-blood lifespan, while raising children who are born as brain-emulations. Nobody has to cross over for “humanity” to eventually attain immortality. It just might not be immortality for us living now.

>So now I will typically instead paste the URL into an organized series of text file notes on various subjects, sometimes including a short summary of what interested me, a quote, or both.

This has been my way of doing it for some years. Usually end up writing a blog-ish sort of shorthand in sublime text with some thoughts and perspective to prime my later self on what I was thinking and why it caught my attention. Usually leave a few hanging questions for followup as well.
>My hourly rate after tax is about $50, let's say $60 for easy math. That means that returning a $7 item has to take less than 7 minutes to be worth it, less if there's other costs besides time. I'll easily spend that much time in the car.

This math is infuriating. Do you actually bill for every waking hour of your day? If not, this calculation is nonsense. My hourly rate is similar, but I only work 8 hours per day. I have plenty of time after work to do things like spend 7 minutes returning a cheap item. I have absolutely no desire to work 16 hour days even if I was paid overtime, so it's totally disingenuous to pretend that my time after work is worth the same exact rate as my "hourly" rate at work. (I'm actually salaried so if I did want to work more it would just decrease my hourly rate.)
That’s why it’s easy to deceive by starting charts a certain date. When you look at the 1980s there was also a big increase. The y axis is linear so the newer increases look much more dramatic. When you look at the chart from 1950 you see a long term upwards trend with some setbacks.

Right now they require ID when opening new accounts. My understanding (based on talking to sellers) is that it became significantly more difficult to open new accounts when this policy went into effect. Sophisticated criminals willing to fake IDs or commit identity fraud are hard to counter.

I do think they could enforce an insurance requirement which would help pay out civil judgements, at least.

By the way, YouTube claims are easily disputed in almost all cases, with the exception of UMG which has a contractual right to veto counternotices.

I think literally every online service has this sort of clause, and in the absence of language explicitly stating the contrary, a cautious approach would be to assume they mean exactly this. Pragmatically speaking, you should have a local backup of everything you've placed online.
I would assume the majority of people (in the US, anyway) are already filtering their air enough through their central air to make any additional "room-sized" filtering negligible.

Until planes are fully automated, which I don't think will happen anytime soon, pilots are going to be part of every accident. To improve the safety of flying, pilot actions should be considered after every accident and if there are improvements to be made, they should be made. We cant shy away from "blaming" the pilots (which we are not blaming them as much as highlighting issues) because thats not nice, we should identify issues and make sure they are worked on in training or procedures.

Even with the higher levels of automation, the pilots are literally there to monitor the automation and intervene when it does something wrong. The 737 tells you when it will stall in on the speed tape on the PFD, auditory and through the feel of the stick shaker.

You ever read the reviews for the MEGA app? Everyone complains that there's no password reset feature. MEGA is fully encrypted so you literally can't reset your password. It says this when you first crate an account and get a recovery key.

To be clear, it’s not the low-cost part that sounds like greed on the part of the owners; it’s the low-paid employees and worst-rated service that sounds like greed. Those are more often things you see from companies who are “penny wise and pound foolish”; companies like, say, Comcast.

Again, that's not how that works at all. I can name hundreds of items that I've purchased in the past year where there aren't meaningful competitors. I can name dozens of contracts I've entered into where management changed after the contract was signed (sometimes years afterward). Of course then I'm screwed because I'm still stuck in that contract.

General public are generally ignorant about risks in the tech they use. That doesn't mean they don't care about their privacy.

There's an assumption that laws and safeguards are in place so technology in general can be trusted and transacted on.

In other words they trust in us "the tech circle" to police ourselves and assert security and privacy. It's not circle jerk about privacy. It's a duty we have by being in the frontlines.

Because the vast majority of correct answers are politically incorrect. There are a lot of causes of infertility, but the two main ones in the developed world are delayed pregnancy and obesity (mediated most often by PCOS) - both of which are personal choices.

And it's simply not an option to tell a woman the medical reality that career-before-kids or eating too many calories is guaranteed to reduce your chances of having children. We have collectively decided that sparing others' feelings and indulging in others' have-it-all fantasies is the pinnacle of moral behavior.

On the mens' side, we also contend with sperm counts halving in 40 years and virtually nobody caring beyond half-hearted "hey look at this scary stat lol" level commentary. Motility and morphology have also seen dramatic declines. For whatever reason, we simply don't care.

As a former hospital IT employee, as it was told to me by my IT management, you don't get to pick Epic as your EMR; Epic somehow "decides" you're worthy enough to buy it.

Then once you do, you're told who to hire, what to buy, what to train on, what to overall do, and if you don't do that they hold your support costs hostage under the guise of a "quality installation score". Not to mention the no-competes they slap on hospital staff so they can't bail as soon as Epic goes live.

You vote if you actually have a choice.

What choice is there beyond Apple or Google in terms of smartphones? And I mean actual, ergonomic, everyday convenient choice -- my mother will firmly refuse me if I said "I'll buy you a phone but will have to tinker a full weekend to make it half-privacy-aware". And even if she was on board, she'll just yell at me if she can't do a basic task (this is a controversial topic around here but heavily modded and supposedly Google-less Android is absolutely not as useful as a Pixel or vendor-modded Android).

So...

Google is an ad company. There's nothing they won't do to get to your data. And of course, being a huge company, they will lie about it at Congress hearings, lobby against punishments, make PR campaigns to mislead the general public, cover up their work with China until they are caught, etc. They already did all of these, many times.

Apple is seemingly a good citizen but do we really know what they do behind closed doors? As an Apple user I am still a realist and I know the answer to this question is a firm "No".

We seriously have no adequate choice. I like my iPhone; I don't play games on it (well, a few brain-teasers and a bunch more serious like chess but you get the idea), and I read a lot of stuff on it: work- and hobby-related. Social media gets almost zero attention from me. So smartphones can be very useful if you don't get hooked on BS.

And so I ask you again -- what actual choice do we have? How can we really vote in a way that will make a difference?

There's this popular conception that the average person doesn't care about privacy, but I think that's wrong. I just think that to really get a handle on what it means to be private in the modern digital age is too complicated for the average person. People are concerned but feel overwhelmed by the technical details and don't know where to start. You need to know the fundamentals of encryption, what a key is, backdoors, the difference between E2E and non-E2E, and so on. We, as the tech community, need to do a better job communicating and explaining.

In part, it has to do with the fact that many items made in Germany are of high quality. Most goods that are sold in U.S. for instance, are made in China. Often times these goods simply fall apart (dishwashers, washing machines), are defective, or have toxic odors (like full-color books). Not so for things made in the U.S. or Europe, and it just so happens that there are a great many things that Germany makes now, where they are the only high-quality source.
Thanks! I love writing them.
