Interesting take.

I don't really agree, php routes are handled natively and very simply and easy to reason about using the .php extension.

Its the frameworkers that broke that design with clean urls and fancy complicated routers.

Php behind Apache or nginx is incredibly simple and easy to reason about.

Browser loooks up this file url, this file url runs as a script and its output is returned.

A bug in one file isn't propogated to all others so you can have highly reliable services with only partial failures from time to time.

Whereas a bug in one route of a golang server may take the entire service offline.

I do much prefer the deployment and shipability of a golang service, so much I am willing to give up the simplicity of PHP.
German media quotes from a leaked internal E-Mail with different language (in German of course): https://financefwd.com/de/n26-wahlen/

My translation of the relevant paragraphs:

The elected body stood "against almost all values we believe in at N26", it [the e-mail] says. And: "Drive: It makes us slower. Simplicity: It makes our cooperation more compley and hirarchical. Integrity: It undermines a culture of trust and could lead to a hightend level of confrontation. Excellence: It is not an up-to-date instrument of employee mangment and limits personal career development and influence."

Morover, according to the e-mails argumentation, a work council would lead to a two-class society for employees, because it is responsible only for German employees. A world-wide "Employee Representation Board" is named as an alternative proposal.

Back to me: Proposing a not-legally-a-work-council is a standard trick of German union busters. The real point is, of course, that the alternative board doesn't have the rights and protections of a real one. Also, looking at their Kununu reviews (I think that is a cultural equivalent of Glassdoor, though the focus is more on soft factors than money) they actually seem like the kind of work-place one would urgently want to found a work council at. So nah, not much chance of that being at all about genuine care for non-German employees.
It is painting a target, as you said. at least with many employers. also being part of a works council can massively hinder your career, even if officially there are protections in place against such things.

but being a works council member myself I can assure you that even the best employers can have very subtle ways. Works council members from different companies talk and some stories are outright scary.

Google also kicked Epic out but no body is talking about that not even Epic. Maybe because Statistically Android users are less likely to pay for apps and services than iOS users. So clearly iOS is where the money is and nothing wrong in Apple trying to protect that.

The analogy holds. If I need a replacement part for my Nespresso (app updates) and I order that on Amazon, then Amazon gets their cut for facilitating and fulfilling the delivery of this replacement part. That's reasonable, because you are taking some portion of proceeds from a transaction that you have a hand in.

What is not reasonable is for Apple to take a cut from transactions that do not need to involve them. If Epic sells hats in their own online store and don't use Apple as the payment processor, this costs Apple nothing. No bandwidth costs, no nothing.

If Apple wants to charge Fortnite whatever it costs to distribute Fortnite updates on the App Store + 30% on top as their fee for delivering that service, I am 100% sure Epic would be OK with that.

This is not what they are doing.

---

Here's an extreme hypothetical to illustrate how Apple is using their monopoly position for rent-seeking:

Imagine you have an app that is downloaded 100 times in the App Store. It is not marketed, advertised, other otherwise promoted by Apple.

In total, it costs Apple pennies to provide this service to your customers. You never push an update to the App Store – it is always on version 1.0.0. You are already paying Apple $99 per year for the privilege of your app being in their App Store, so they're pocketing a tidy profit.

Now imagine that you offer a subscription service, which all 100 customers who downloaded your app are paying for. This subscription costs $100 a month.

Apple is not involved in the delivery of this subscription at all (except in the delivery of the original app, which you are already paying $99py for), but Apple wants to take $30,000 a month from you, for something that in total cost them pennies.

If that's not ludicrous rent-seeking, I don't know what is. Obviously this is an extreme, totally made-up example, but the entire point is that it is bad to insert yourself into a transaction where you are not providing any added value – charge at the point where you are involved. Do not use your monopoly position to force yourself into transactions where you really have no business being.

iOS Appstore users pay, android users dont. iOS is where the money is which is why everyone is up in Arms. Android is the ugly poor mans cousin of mobile phones where inspite of being the largest the app ecosystem remains small. I see why Apple is trying to protect their Ecosystem and so does android.
At this point it’s always important to remember that the DoJ lawsuit against Microsoft was largely about them abusing their market power by including a pre-installed web browser.

In this case, the market came together to produce a solution much better for society than the state could have concocted, or predicted: high quality open source software. We can all be thankful that Netscape’s market for $40 web browsers (actually buggy groupware by that point) wasn’t protected for any longer than it should have been, because the pressure of Microsoft’s dominance drove the market towards demanding more symmetrical rights via entirely new approaches of software development and distribution across desktop applications, server and embedded operating systems and software, and web-based platform-agnostic applications.

Not a good example, there was actually a trial. But you are speaking about preventative detentions without a trial.
For me in Factorio you have to think carefully how to place your primary (mines, power, oil) and secondary factories (factory generation, batteries, plastics, ammunition etc). Some of this placement comes from the map, but in the early game you tend to place them too close to each other, which you then need to optimise later on when other tech (like oil & nuclear) become available.

Just refinining oil into primary products in this game took me like a week of work and tweaking.

You then get to the end of the game & build a rocket, but think to yourself -- "Yes, but I could maybe do all of this again but properly and without manually making things and the same mistakes". So you start another game and the whole process repeats!

Do you allow your CI workers to cache layers or do they build from scratch each time?
> Must build an image before deploying and it takes time

not strictly true.

this is how we do with kubernetes and docker:

for testing: have test images that have the basic supporting systems built in the image, but the application gets built from the entry point before starting with a configuration point provide the git credentials and branch to build.

startup is 5 minutes instead of instant, but that's handled by minReadySeconds or initialDelaySeconds, and there's no image build involved, just a change into the deployment metadata to trigger the pod cycling.

for production: you split the basic supporting image and add your built application as a layer on top, depending form it, so instead of building everything from a single docker file you only push the binaries and the docker push is basically instant.

if performance of that step concerns you that much because the binaries come with lots of assets, you can run CI directly on the docker registry host, so push bandwidth becomes a non issue, or you can bundle assets in an intermediate image with it's own lifecycle.

I do think the underlying problems existed before him. For instance, the west allowed all manufacturing eggs to be put in China's basket for over 30 years without diversifying sourcing.

After years of being a laughing stock, it's nice to see PHP finally becoming a nicer language instead of basically being the "three languages in a trenchcoat" of programming.
It's perhaps less important because software can still be installed on Android without Google Play. Don't forget that Apple has already cut special deals with Amazon, so the extortionate 30% is negotiable, if one is big enough to fight.
I liked the idea of these games but I was the opposite. I couldn't shake the feeling that it was just work. I found myself procrastinating them. Wish I could enjoy the puzzles more.

Though I already have weekend programming projects that are more fulfilling and work towards something more concrete than "yay, solved a puzzle", and the games just made me wonder why I wasn't putting this time into those hobby projects. Factorio made me feel this way too.

On the other hand, I've been playing Morrowind lately (OpenMW) which gives me a nice mental break from programming. Apart from the fact that I couldn't help but write a parser for its game files once I saw how simple and documented the format was. Bit more fulfilling to have a `tes3_parser.go` at the end of my puzzle-solving session than to have solved some contrived TIS-100 puzzles for a fantasy computer.

Factorio was fun at first, but then it quickly felt like a pencil and paper optimization problem for something that doesn't even exist. Whether that tickles your fancy or not is probably like whether cilantro tastes like soap to you or not.
> Microsoft didn't give up because they couldn't keep up

They had been lagging behind in feature support for a long time.

> it's just that they came to a realization which Mozilla's also about to come to: nobody cares what's underneath the browser UI as long as the branding and features are there.

This is an extremely short-sighted view, also from a business perspective, and one that I'm quite sure Microsoft didn't share. There are very real risks to being dependent on a single huge competitor for such a crucial part of your product, which is why IE (and, subsequently, Edge) came to exist to begin with.

The users might not care, but the company itself certainly does, because outsourcing all the internals to Google means that they largely lose control over their user's experience and, by extension, over the UX of their own product.

Sure, one of the least reliable fields of science mostly believes this effect exists. They also have one of the worse reproducibility crises, and a history of fraudulent but widely believed studies (Stanford Prison Experiment, to name just one), and entire schools of thought defeated by a priori arguments (behaviorism as a theory of the human mind).

Meanwhile you ahbe neuroscientists and evolutionary biologists arguing against the plausibility of differences in intelligence in large ancient groups a priori. You have people like Stephen Jay Gould arguing against the idea that IQ is a measure of general intelligence at all.

And then, just to prove a point about how warped your perspective is, you cite James Damore as an argument for a basic statistical fact. You really should avoid citing beligerantly misogynistic and/or racist people when you're trying to claim that science is on your side.

Not to mention that large scale aptitude tests (rather than 'general intelligence' tests) do NOT show a normal distribution of aptitudes, rendering Damore's claims statically correct but un applicable anyway.

I'm trying to be kind by explaining this to you because as you said, "I don't understand," and it doesn't feel like you've read what I said to you in the previous post. The starting point I used was that I had been unclear and needed to consider other interpretations of your comment given your confusion. Maybe you could extend me that same courtesy and think about ways in which you might be misunderstanding!

I'll simplify things again to see if that helps you out. It must be really confusing for you if you think that I'm replying to you with a comment which could be added to the top post instead of something which is only conceivable as a reply to you.

1. It is established that sleep dysfunctions cause short term dopamine disregulation and other imbalances,

2. This study links (spuriously) those imbalances and their associated behaviours to an increased desire for starting one's own business,

3. You commented referencing cocaine and other stimulants in a manner which was suggestive to me of a belief that they could heighten the imbalances referred to at 1 and 2,

4. I commented to observe that in individuals suffering from such imbalances, stimulants are often prescribed because of the paradoxical impact that they alleviate the symptoms by treating the imbalance.

> It's just not really related to my comment.

You are the only person in this thread discussing the impact of ingesting stimulants to either cause or extend the behaviours which the article discusses.

Schedule Tasks in Laravel and Debug Them
Their review system is totally random, and that's what makes it painful. There's easy way to trick them for some things, so I wouldn't consider this as an actual proper safety net. It does give the impression of safety to the end user though, I guess that's the intent.

Apple uses techniques from totalitarian regimes. They decide, judge and control everything. There's no freedom at all. You can only use what Apple decide you can use. But it does provide some kind of safety, or at least a feeling of safety (there will always be security flaws). After, is it a good thing?
False Promises, False Puzzles
Well, I think if large groups of people (companies) are collaborating, some degree of hierarchy should be maintained. While, yes, even if all employees are reasonable adults, it would still benefit their shared objective if there is structure in what they are working on, and when.

Dutch salary: ....
American job market: ....

They are not comparable. In the Netherlands and Germany it feels like the only employees who make good money are management. Engineers are never going to be rich from working as engineers. The only way to make it is to break into management, and the odds are against you.

> they do a lot to curtail scummy developer practices.

Which is excellent. Apple taking a cut for apps I have no problem with. They have support, I trust them with privacy/security and so on. That costs money.

The interesting discussion is how much apple can claim to own a part of profits made in the apps, by selling content (in-app purchases).

On one hand: if a game is free for a trial, and you can unlock the full game I think that should count as an app purchase (the alternative would be to not have in-app upgrades and just have 2 apps, which was a worse situation).

But on the other hand: if I buy a recipe app for $10 and then recipes for $1 a piece which I could also buy on the corresponding website, then I don't think apple should have a cut at all.
Also, the consumer experience of a single well-maintained, and mostly safe App Store plays a large role in why iPhone users are comfortable spending more money on third party apps.

Anytime the discussion around Apple’s take on subscription revenue comes up there are always comments from people that they wouldn’t even mind paying a premium price just to have the convenience of having all their subscriptions managed in one place, and free of company-specific dark patterns for unsubscribing.
Apple’s strange ABI is upstreamed: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/search?q=arm64_32&unsco....

And profiles for Apple silicon chips are readily available: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/954db63cd149df031d.... LLVM is probably one of the projects from Apple that sees the most things get upstreamed.

The broken updates are what essentially forced me off of windows. Basically I get some awful untested update every 3-4 years that causes a boot loop. Happened in Vista, 7 and 10. The worst part is that the broken update stays in cache and forced updates basically brick your machine every single day until you decide to simply disable the windows update service, delete the windows update folders in hopes that this fixes the problem or reinstall the entire system hoping Microsoft removed the boot loop update.
