Communism and fascism are alike. One has an international perspective, one has a national perspective, but the politics and control are very similar. They both exert control over the economy and culture. Interestingly, Lenin was more internationalist than Stalin.

I have a $230 ~12" Chromebook[1], I agree with your premise of portable fan-less computer, benefits of running mobile applications and if the performance of Apple's current A series chipsets are of any indicator then one in the ARM MacBook ought to be several times better than anything intel has in this category.

But, I doubt if the macOS on Apple silicon in upcoming MacBook would even fulfil all the needs of a generic consumer, if not the developers. Newer macOS releases on even current Macs have been ridden with bugs and it takes couple of major updates to fix them(the case with newer iOS releases have been worse). Many developers have stopped updating their macOS to the latest iteration and are sticking with older versions till the security updates lasts (or if Xcode support is dropped).

So, IMO it's going to be a while till macOS on ARM achieves stability and the $800 is the subsidised early adopter fee to put up with its quirks.

I don’t think the problem is people getting offended. But sometimes a name can sound funny and it will be difficult for people taking it seriously. For example WebOS in Spanish sounds like “huevos” (eggs) and huevos it’s another way to say testicles at least in Mexico. I doubt too many people will get offended by that, but there will be a lot of jokes about your company or product.
MySpace is dead, dead. You'll still find devices, especially in manufacturing, that are still running on a MIPS, and are essential to the process. You'll still find them in various cheap toys on the shelves.

MIPS _should_ be dead, half the manufacturers of the chip have stopped. But, Imagination Technology still sell a considerable number to Apple every year.
The other factor that makes cooking rice today quite trivial (even without a rice cooker), is the quality of our rice. A typical bag of rice from the supermarket (even in most developing countries), will be of a much more consistent higher quality than you’d expect to have gotten 70 years ago.

Perhaps it's easier to bill Medicare than private insurance, because at some point Medicare will actually pay for the work that physicians have already done? Most doctors would be happy to return to the old patient-pays-on-the-day-of-treatment model, and health care costs would be much lower, but in that case some provision would have to be made for poor people.
I think companies do that.
Something’s gotta change though. The path perl5 is on ends in dead language. It’s not attracting young talent, the last really high profile project that sticks out in my mind is Perl Dancer which was released in 2011, and modules on cpan are getting dusty/losing maintainers.

I also created and maintain a large Perl stack and in my opinion, the things that made Perl great 10-15 years ago, other languages have adopted and did better. Now for lack of want of updating the language, it’s just languished. I just don’t see a compelling reason to start a Perl project in 2020.

> and gives agency to someone else to act on your behalf

Relinquishing control is a very effective negotiation tactic. If you can credibly lose agency in a given situation - precommit yourself to a course of action - this means the other party has all the control and all the responsibility. If, given your pre-committed response, one choice is bad for your opponent, they're essentially forced by you to take another one.

Thomas Schelling wrote a whole book ("The Strategy of Conflict") about such scenarios.

A toy example (I think it's even from the book): imagine we're both in cars, driving towards each other and playing chicken. Whoever veers off to avoid collision first loses. If you want to win for sure, all you have to do is to rip out your steering wheel and throw it out of the window - if I see that, my choices are suddenly reduced to "lose the game, or we both die".

A real example is automated retaliatory strike systems that both sides of the Cold War worked on - strenghtening deterrence by ensuring a retaliatory strike will happen even if humans in charge change their minds.

I remember once being in a branch of HSBC trying to sort out a loan. I saw on the screen for my account they had a score of something like "customer behaviour", which was like 54 something.

I had drunkenly called HSBC and ended up ranting at the person on the phone a few times (lost cards etc) so I think this was a rating of how well behaved I was towards their staff.

The manager I was speaking to changed his tone fairly quickly after that screen came up!

So this is nothing new, but I guess the scale and opportunities for data points are new.

Although, having said that, a lot of marketing based scoring data is woefully inaccurate. I was once responsible for distributing a data set to company clients which covered interests and personal info for all UK population.

Not only was most of the data about my dad wrong, the things that were accurate were years out of date.

My information didn't exist. A colleague's email was completely wrong. Indicated he liked going on holiday but had never been outside of the UK.

So these scores might be useless anyway.

edit: got rid of "even if they exist".

BIOS is a good idea. It should have been expanded. For example I should be able to download Nvidia driver, install it into BIOS and then talk to it via standard interface (something like Vulkan). Now every operating system can just utilize that interface and use well tested driver from manufacturer, rather than ask manufacturer to write that driver for every operating system.
How would that even work, exerting pressure by merely providing another pipeline?
For SaaS like Strava or something, I'm agnostic whether the notice should come before the shut-off alleging a TOS violation. For cellular service though, SMS is integral to life. 911 even accepts SMS. Imagine T-Mobile silently dropping 911 SMS communications because someone texted the wrong word? Which isn't even in the TOS?

This is like dangling chum in the water, waiting for a big shark to chomp your leg, T-Mobile and whatever individual engineer came up with this.

It’s hard to understand how the basically fraudulent billing practices in US healthcare are viewed as acceptable and nothing gets done to correct things. I know many people who have stories of people being overbilled by not a little but by a multiple of the normal price. Or the hospital bills for things that never happened. That while the patient never got an estimate upfront. There is basically no way to do it “right”.

And even when you discover a problem you are expected to spend countless hours on the phone negotiating between provider and insurance.

I can’t imagine any other industry getting away with such a persistent track record of bad behavior.

In general, the value of any certification is inversely proportional to how many are awarded. If they are easy to get and lots of people have one (think liberal arts diploma), they're not worth much.

For comparison purposes, you might look at other similar proprietary technical certifications that have been in the marketplace longer --- for example, RHCE or MCSE (now defunct).

As somebody who used PHP through that transition, I have to say that the 5-7 (skipping 6) transition was especially well handled from my perspective. There was certainly breakage, but the amount of things you had to fix was relatively small.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php

It was really easy to write code that worked in both 5 and 7. Most of my time was spent waiting for dependencies or frameworks to make the same jump.

Then again, I suppose PHP developers had the hindsight of Python 3 and Perl 6 as a gigantic warning klaxon of what not to do.

I left the company before that decision really formalized itself but I think the lead dev was leaning towards using Phaser. I believe they’re using that now at least.

We had been using Unity for a long time but when the company decided pivot to HTML, we kept running into performance issues for for web (which left the Unity developer we had hired in a pretty awkward position).
Perl does have a fair few quirks but those that know it are probably content for it to stay the way it is and those who don't like it have probably moved to another language.

Personally, I don't like a major version of a programming language making major breaking changes because upgrading a programming language is not at all like upgrading an app.

Would it be so bad of them just to keep Perl as it is and imagine the 'new shiny' and give that a new name - maybe Porl or something?

It is confusing until you use any Catalyst app.

They are utter garbage; there isn't a single good Catalyst app, they're all putrefactive shit on the Mac. The JIRA app — which Apple demo'd on stage when they unveiled Catalyst — is hands-down the worst app I have ever used on the Mac, and I've been using the Mac since I was like 13 and my mom had an SE30, and I also spent 2000-2008 as a developer of Mac apps (iGet, iGet Mobile, and worked on some others).

SwiftUI is still kind of painful, but way less painful then it was at launch. SwiftUI is an interesting new paradigm, and it really does seem that it will be good someday, and even possibly soon. It's already awesome if you happen to not hit the (many) areas where it is still lacking.

Catalyst will never be good, and Apple will kill it as soon as they possibly can.

The generally accepted meaning is that already having something (the bird in hand) is worth more than chasing after things that you don't have (the birds in the bush). So in this case, the idea is that customers you've already acquired are worth more than a larger, untapped market. The poster has flipped this accepted meaning to suggest that Perl should chase after new users, rather than focusing on keeping existing users happy.

Huh? Someone's saying "that's depressing" is a statement. It's not "I find this depressing" or "I'm depressed by that". It's not disrespect, it's bringing a different perspective that does not see the depression there.

I don't find this depressing. I don't even find this societal at all. What would be depressing would be to take Spotify's view of "what music should be" or "how musicians should work/behave" for a relevant, world-wide truth. When it is only a very specific, skewed and biased take by someone's who's got a direct interest into making people believe that it is the only way to go.

That many people go this way does not mean they are right, neither they are winning.

TikTok itself is basically a clone of Vine, which dates back to 2013. The barrier to entry is that China (either Chinese investors or the Chinese government through various puppets depending who you ask) sank a ridiculous amount of money into marketing and attracting users to get it off the ground, and also that it enjoyed a local monopoly in China because similar US apps are banned. There's nothing particularly unique about the tech itself.
I don't think this is what people are talking about when they mention the Paradox of Tolerance....

It's never going to happen. They don't even think of performance as an important value to have [1]. And in current implementation (without redesigning the language) AOT and JIT compilers are too impractical and too costly to implement.

No offense, but this is difficult to assign any meaning without more details. Zero is one data point, but what's the denominator? Zero out of 3 vs 30 vs 300 are qualitatively different pieces of information.

Also, another common denominator is you. Just because you haven't had success with cover letters doesn't mean others can't or won't. Perhaps, to be blunt, your cover letters weren't very good.

Finally, just because the person who called you back didn't read it doesn't mean others didn't. These things end up in systems with lots of eyes on them.

That said, I don't disagree with your statement, just the certainty with which it's stated. I agree on balance people should generally play the numbers game, not the custom cover letter game. But, if there's a particular job you really want, it might help.
