I don't think resentment is a real thing. It is lack of flexibility when a company grows large enough to defer decisions to hr.

When my children were young my employers were very supportive of granting flexibility for my family responsibilities. I was also very productive and giving me flexibility was an obvious win win.

When my daughter had a young family she faced resistance because over the years hr has gained greater power and "if they give flexibility to one employee they have to give flexibility to all employees." The irony was the hr rules at her company allowed work sharing if she was in marketing but not for engineering. They waited until she quit to give her the flexibility she needed.

I think smaller companies are better able to work with employees than larger companies.
I would counter that Iraq and Afghanistan both offered an excellent training ground for militants from around the planet, which provided Al-Qaeda and other groups with thousands of battle-hardened soldiers. The US basically created a factory for 'bolder Islamist forces.'

On top of that the power vacuum created by dismantling the Iraqi government (especially the dissolution of the Iraqi military) directly led to the emergence of ISIS in newly unstable areas filled with weapons where the new Iraqi government had zero reach.

Too bad most of Google's apps didn't support dark mode until months after release.
Except the kid dicking around Slack did more team bonding than you ever bothered doing and now he has your job.
Yes because those of us who chose to have kids signed onto a social contract. We pay the 300-500k for raising a kid and the government covers basic schooling And child care from 5-18 so we don’t have to double that. Well the government pulled out of their end so now everyone is overloaded. Moreover even private options are overloaded so the system just broke entirely. Employers are cutting parents a break because they still want them around when the system works again. These people have nothing more left to give in terms of free time.

In Europe, private companies can sue based on anti competitive behavior. It’s not limited to government agencies. Makes sense if you think about it. I’d assume it’s similar in the states.

This seems to directly contradict your previous statement? It's not clear to me now what you're even trying to argue.
Terrorism is a legit issue, and the 'war on terror' is very real, ergo, it's not remotely 'new speak', rather, it's ill-placed propagandastic term that can possibly be used out of context.
The creation of ISIS is a direct and predicted result of the catastrophic US policy in the Middle East. The conditions for ISIS to exist were not there before US involvement, and wouldn't have arisen. Al Qaeda themselves likely wouldn't have been an issue if it was not for US meddling in the Middle East.
ISIS wouldn't exist without the Iraq war. You could argue Sadam would be worse, but I doubt he kills as many iraqis.
This is false.

Sony and MS games can be programmed without licenses or devkits (which make it much easier to debug games by providing debug access not available on retail consoles).

Moreover, devkits are frequently made available for free by both companies to indie developers and even major partners.
The article uses the infamous Kew Gardens story, which has been thoroughly debunked my Malcolm Gladwell as being inaccurate. You could read the book Tipping Point for details. Here is some quick info: https://delanceyplace.com/view-archives.php?p=3265
It’s important to make a distinction between webapps and websites here. We use the web now like we used desktop in the 90’s and 00’s.

For most users, your browser is your OS. Hell even when it isn’t, most desktop apps use HTML+CSS for their UI. Hell even many user-facing “embedded” apps (like TVs) are running linux with chrome and showing a webapp as their UI.

The layout engine is just that good and convenient. And downloading fresh app source on every visit solves a lot of problems.

This part of the web is getting bloated and slow.

On the other hand are websites. These are fat as heck thanks to CDN and broadband and advances in server compute power. They load faster than ever.

Remember when downloading memes required eMule? I do.

Now I go to imgur and watch 30MB high def gifs like it’s nothing. My 13 year old self would shit his pants in awe.

Are ads and trackers bloating websites? Yes. Are most websites built like webapps even when there’s no need? Yes.

Blame tooling. Go help. What can we as a profession do to make it easier for random developers with no skill build faster better websites?

Right now we’re actively telling everyone they need to build as if they’re FAANG. Then we complain when a part time dev working for a mom&pop shop can’t wrangle all this tooling built for teams of 1000’s into a solid experience.
I’m curious if people with other legitimate obligations asked and received push back. I’ve seen employers make accommodations for religious, dietary, various family drama (sick parents/partners, death etc), working moms etc - you just have to ask.
Great, the EU has picked up its surveillance effort of citizens again.
I can afford to pay others to help, but at the same time I know how to do myself 90% of what I need. That means I can fix something that breaks at midnight and have a professional do a permanent fix, if needed, in the morning. I can also fix by motorcycle or mountain bike when it breaks in the middle of the mountains 20 miles from the closest village, calling for help is many times not an option due to lack of phone signal. Yes, it is nice to do only what you do best, but it's not a good idea to be ignorant of skills that may be essential sometimes.
AirWatch (MDM software) detected my iPhone 6 as jailbroken after it was jailbroken then restored. They had to add my device to an exception list. That could've been an AirWatch bug though.
>And overpopulation/overconsumption isn't a problem. What is a problem is unsustainable growth. Life is much more pleasant today for most people than it was centuries ago because simply having more people allows for more technological development, more sub-specialization, and better efficiencies of scale, and thus paradoxically with more people everyone can have a much higher standard of living than with fewer people.

The equation isn't so simple. Life is also much more pleasant today because we are enjoying benefits today at the expense of the future generations' environment. Just like governments can excessively borrow from future taxpayers and then drown them if the growth doesn't pan out, so can consumption of resources if mitigation or reversal of environmental change not favorable to humans doesn't pan out.

Also, by definition, "over"population and "over"consumption are a problem, otherwise they wouldn't be "over". All life is constrained by the parameters of the system in which it exists, including humans.
> strikes me as extremely selfish, immature and displaying a total lack of empathy

Empathy needs to go both ways. Childless employees tend to be younger and less experienced, so they often are paid less than those with kids. If you're a junior who needs to work 80 hour weeks to pick up the slack from seniors with kids, but you're also paid less, it's understandable that you would be angry.
I think there is confusion here over the meaning of "Rust developer".

Mozilla did lay off most of its employees that were working directly on the Rust language and its implementation. This was a handful of people.

Mozilla also laid off some employees that were using Rust, such as the Servo team.

But Mozilla still has plenty of employees that know and use Rust, both in Firefox (e.g. the WebRender team), and in code relating to Firefox such as services. This is a much larger number of people.

Currently, what Apple is doing violates EU and US antitrust laws. It's not a matter of what the user wants. It's a matter of Apple abusing its market position.
Most advanced countries do not have a self-sustaining birth rate (above 2.1, the replacement rate). Some are able to make up the difference in immigration, but immigrants assimilate and then the birth rates go back down.

> But - isn't giving up work for 20 years her choice?

It’s invariably to allow the woman to raise the couple’s kids. (Either a decision made by the couple after marriage to do that, as was the case with my MIL, or a man marries someone who wants to be a stay at home mom. Either way, it’s not a surprise or an accident.)

It’s also enormously beneficial for the man’s career, which is why many high earning men seek out women who want to stay at home to raise kids. My wife is similarly educated and earns as much money as I do. It’s hard and exhausting for both of us to juggle both things while raising kids. I have had the kids the last week and a half while my wife puts out fires at work, and it sucked. I had to whisper into a conference call today because I was putting my two year old down for a nap. When the kids were babies I’d take nights because I don’t need as much sleep, and I just dealt with the constant sleep deprivation while trying to do intellectually demanding work. (Luckily, my boss is similarly situated and negotiating over our banked-up “spouse capital” is accepted practice.) Even during normal circumstances, what suffers is home life—the plan for dinner this week is turkey sandwiches.

If we made the decision for her to stay home, it would be as much for me and our kids as her. It would be to allow me to focus more on work. It would allow her to focus on the house and kids. We have a fridge where the delivery has been put off for months because neither of us have the bandwidth to wait on hold for two hours to schedule it. One kid is getting a bit chunky and needs a curated diet of vegetables (which she refuses to eat). The other kid is advanced but nobody has time to read to him. All that could be improved if we chose to do it. (We chose not to do it because she loves her job and her earning potential is so high it would be a huge hit long term. But it still is a slog.)

> Maybe more people would marry between incomes if the high earning partner wouldn't be out at least 1/3 of their income for over a decade. I'm currently in a relationship with someone who has no hopes of making any money close to what I do - marriage ain't happening and they know why.

The rules are designed for the common case. Very few men earn enough where they can pay enough in alimony to offset the earning loss to a stay at home spouse from being out of the workforce.
> I know people my age who can't rewire a plug which is frankly embarrassing.

I’m sure there’s a country / culture factor there, but that’s rather condescending. I’m in my thirties, and there isn’t a single place I’ve lived in as an adult where it would have been OK for me to mess with the electricity, plumbing, or even paint the walls.

Yes, this is essentially an argument that Apple owns the scope of consumer choice and can decide what you, the consumer, may or may not do and see with hardware and software that you have paid for.

It has direct parallels to that age-old argument beloved of software lawyers that consumers do not own their copy of installed software, but are merely borrowing it by the grace of the vendor.
Seems odd the schools even do that much screen time for kids that age. I mean, isn't the school going against the AAP recommended screentime limits for that age group?

I'm in awe of the degree to which a democracy can set in motion tremendous violence seemingly on a whim with the voting constituents of the democracy being utterly divorced from the end-result.
So... "mostly"?
It really isn't. US actions made it possible for the problem to become what it is. If it wasn't for US involvement Iraq would have been a strong state and would have destroyed any force like ISIS, Al Qaeda wouldn't be much more than a reading group, Syria would be peaceful, Libya would still exist, and so on. It can be true that you have had a strong contributing role and that it wouldn't have happened if you weren't there - that's just how multicausal events works.
We should get it right (vs the banking shitshow) this time and mandate FRAND access by third parties at the network-car interface.

And ban auto companies from offering first-party, non-vehicle services.

They're welcome to spin off divisions, who can compete with everyone else.
This is an under rated comment - likely due to length :P

> If is such a killer app, Epic is free to create their own phone OS, it would sell like hot pancakes.

Creating a phone OS wouldn't actually let them compete on the same level, because you can't run anything but iOS on Apple hardware.

The only companies that actually compete at the same level as Apple and Google and Amazon, since they both create the hardware, run an OS on it, and provide a store on it. Any while it's a pain to do (and they take steps to make it not work well, even if it does work), you can install their stores on each other (Amazon Fire store on Android, and Google Play store on Kindle Fire devices).

Not to say that those companies are paragons of openness in their platforms, but Apple is quite it bit farther along the spectrum in locking down their devices, in that you can't run any software other than what they approve on them (unless you jailbreak, but I'm but sure that's legal in many jurisdictions).

> You know, actual innovation.

There are plenty of locations to innovate. Why should epic have to create an OS (which they can't actually run on the hardware the people they are trying to reach are using) just so they can try to provide a better store experience for people. They could "innovate" be being more deterministic in what they accept or reject than Apple and being cheaper. Those are innovations that many customers and developers would welcome.
Some things have economies of scale. I could in theory dig minerals out of the ground, refine and distill them, and do the chemistry required to turn them into antibiotics... but that'd be about a million times more expensive (in bootstrapping monetary cost and labor) than just getting together with a bunch of people to found an oil refinery and a drug factory.
I hear you, but at least for me and my team we haven't found it to be an issue. FWIW we're all IT. Programmers, sysadmins etc.

As a manager, there are certainly conversations where I find in-person to be beneficial, and for those video calls are a poor substitute. Reviews, raise negotiations, disciplinary conversations, etc, but these are all discussions where an accurate emotional read is critical for both sides.

On the other hand for discussing algorithms, software architecture, network layouts, server specifications, etc, these can certainly be topics with lots of disagreement, requiring lots of conversation, but if your relying on emotional nuance for or other non-verbal cues for communication I think you've got an unacknowledged problem, where people are communicating clearly enough with their words.
I joined a small SaaS company when it was 15 years old, in the role of developer. I was the third developer on the team.

I dragged them, kicking and screaming, away from CVS into git for source control.

I did a LOT of documentation of their ancient and honorable :-) SQL schema.

I converted a lot of old legacy code to more modern languages.

I converted a lot of old legacy SQL embedded in their code to use prepared statements and stored procedures, and developed a tiny little framework to make it easy for other developers to do the same.

I came in early one summer morning and washed the windows in the office. Seriously. They hadn't been washed for 15 years, and were disgusting.

I helped talk them into replacing their low end home brew bug tracking system.

I pushed, hard, to get them to gradually discontinue using FreeBSD in favor of standardized Linux cloud distros.

I developed a way for sales, dev, and ops to communicate to do capacity planning BEFORE bringing on new gigantic enterprise customers, not after.

I failed to get them to adopt CI/CD.

I retired.

My working principle: always work myself out of any job. Do all my work so somebody else can take it over.
But a woman who risks divorce has a greater need to return to the workforce than a similarly situated woman who stays married. The normalization of divorce exacerbated the risks from exiting the workforce.
Moore in the movie Sicko displayed this in a funny way (I'm french):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicko

"In France, Moore visits a hospital and interviews the head of obstetrics and gynaecology and a group of American expatriates. Moore rides with the "SOS Médecins", a 24-hour French medical service that provides house calls by physicians. Moore discovers that the French government provides many social services and rights in addition to health care, such as daycare for $1 an hour, free college education, a minimum five weeks paid vacation by law, vacation, and neonatal support that includes cooking, cleaning, and laundry services for new mothers. "
Most states require you sign an affidavit stating you are homeschooling. Might be good to look at that before they send the police or create a legal issue for you.
The War on Terror is newspeak because we invade states for fabricated reasons in order to wage it. It's not a War on Terror, it's a war of extermination of actors that refused to fold to US interests.

Yeah - thats “frustrating” for like what, ‘dozens’? As opposed to just the other problems in the world that dwarf this?

Yeah - personally, i see this as a statistical straw-man.

Sure, why dont you imagine yourself as a gay queer trans java programmer from ohio that moved to silicon valley for more acceptance and is going to try to make it in FAANG based on the fact that youre gay queer trans as opposed to say, your ability and then blame people on the hostility of the environment to you because you choose to only wear naturally harvested wool and eat kale.

Yeah, nobody gives a shit.

? ISIS was founded in Syria not Iraq, if anything, ISIS was strongly emboldened by the withdrawal of US power in Iraq which freed up al-Maliki, the Iraqi PM to embark on a fairly vengeful and heavy handed attack in Sunnis. This is why Sunni tribes 'allowed' ISIS in. A small US presence would have kept ISIS out.
You are confusing platforms with individual models. A platform, such as Pytorch or Tensorflow, does not care what shape is your input. You design and train a model for the whatever inputs you want. On the other hand, if someone trained a specific model architecture (e.g. YOLOv3 or Resnet-50) on some dataset of square images, then yes, this particular pre-trained model will expect the same input size and shape as what it was trained on. Does it make sense? If you take a beginner level course on deep learning (e.g. Stanford CS231n or FastAI course) you will immediately realize there's nothing (in any sense of the word) that prevents you from using any input shape to train your model.

If you don't want to learn the tools you use, you will need to find someone who will train a model on your images. If you're willing to pay for it you will find plenty of help. However, if you want to neither learn nor pay, then what exactly are you complaining about?
It's quite amazing how people twist to pretzels to explain some ridiculous statements by the president, because no way person that I support would be this stupid.

Then you have people posting pictures of "UV infusions" and others saying it was sarcasm. Like if sarcasm in that context makes that statement any better. Besides, no matter how you slice this, that wasn't a sarcasm[1]. There is a reason why his daily briefings ended abruptly after that statement.

I might disagree with Republican policies, but I can understand them, but we are currently are being led by a moron. People in his administration are putting guardrails to ensure what he is doing isn't completely insane, but as more and more of his administration is being replaced by "yes" men, then more and more damage he is capable of inflicting.

My comment was directed at wealthy tech workers who have access to education, contraceptives, and abortions. Of course there are outliers but most of my coworkers carefully planned their pregnancy around their company’s promotion schedules.

It genuinely feels like being on dial-up in the old days. I frequently visit reddit using Safari on my iPad and it often takes a good 3-5 seconds for the new page to load after I tap on a link. If anything, it at least dissuades me from wasting time on the site.
