It's 2020, why are we still telling people what they're supposed to call themselves?

They could style as The Choir of the Aztounding Relational Pachyderm for all it ought to matter.

Notwithstanding which, it's pretty conventional for the role of FOSS project core teams to be administrative-deliberative stewardship and an umbrella authority for all project activities. The overlap with membership of the developer community and concern for technical outcomes is a function of the domain, not the team purpose. The governance consequence at hand being that representational proportions matter to preserve independence and the appearance thereof.
"The myopic internal focus."

When "everyone" uses your software/websites, you can get away with this, much like Microsoft did back in the day. Internal Windows programs ran faster and seemed more stable than third party software written to run on Windows. It generally offered better "UX", to use today's lingo.

The thing that is totally ignored by the myopic focus is the value of not being part of the Borg. Putting small speed differences aside, that value is not insubstantial, though the Google communications department is not responsible for keeping users informed about anything more than the value of Google.

The fastest internet would be one without ads (not to mention the other benefits). Google will not inform anyone about that. It is not included in any tests.
Hijacked product pages and price swings are two of Amazon Shopping's biggest vulnerabilities from my view. Do you know of a price history website/app like you're describing? Sounds like a very good idea.
The embedded glitch things all over the place are unwelcome on this page. This is demonstrating features of HTML and CSS within a webpage ffs, do you really need to embed another system a half dozen times? Doesn’t work well at all on my iOS/Safari (weird scrolling/layout, doesn’t preload so I’m scrolling to a blank page).

All these embeds to show a webpage, on a webpage. C’mon folks use your noodles here.
The announced target market is airlines (and they've already got commitments from some; Virgin has announced publicly); projected fares are comparable to business class on transoceanic flights (their initial target market, to avoid regulatory issues with sonic booms on over-land routes). But I'm sure if someone else is able to write a check for the purchase price, and it doesn't bounce, they'll be happy to cash it.
Sure if the Pinto was still made today, but it isn’t. The fact that Tesla is Pinto levels of bad 30+ years on from that incident is pathetic.
I certainly don't have one. I think that finding one is important.
I like how a non-existent tech union is instantly popping up out of nowhere with both a massive bureaucracy, and a squad of enforcers to beat people up for not joining.

Please, stop bringing up historical anecdotes as reasons why a tech union wouldn't work. It's funny how you don't bring up things like strong health care and training as anecdotes on the other side.

The question of whether or not there will be "union shops" or not is still yet to be seen. Whether or not there would be is a question of the union and the employers (i.e. TBD).
> Tesla's service is good... stupid slow but eventually good.

It's so slow though that I don't think it can even be considered "good" anymore. Ok fine they eventually fix issues, but at the cost of you having a defective product for weeks/months?

I really want to buy a Model Y, but I just almost had to push back the closing date on buying a new house because it took longer to have somebody in their solar panel department send a single e-mail than it took for the bank to get me a mortgage. It took a lot of stress, over a dozen e-mails and about 3 hours on the phone before I was able to eventually speak to a human to resolve my issue. The whole experience has soured the brand for me, and from googling around my case is far from an outlier.
When my brother got married his then fiance sent everyone in the wedding party this site with a form on it:

It's mostly radio buttons (with a loading screen and a pile of js/css to make it pretty of course.) You fill it out, click submit and a matching suit gets shipped to your house. I couldn't get some of the controls to work and sent the support people an email. It turns out the form they built uses some special chrome only API and doesn't work in Firefox.

Ditto when I submitted my rental application for my current apartment (how can you screw up a single page with a file form that badly?)

The trends are definitely going the wrong way.
ADHD teens tend to be rather oppositional. Personally, I always had a really hard time accepting unsolicited advice from anybody and that includes loved ones.

The best thing somebody with ADHD can do is externalize everything they want/need to remember. Preferably in something centralized and always accessible like a notebook or planner app. Then make it a routine to read through and take care of the stuff in it daily.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPFmKu2S5XY

Watching that video helped me put my behaviors in perspective and really understand how my brain works. He even says in the video that “chaining a notebook to yourself” is the best thing you can do if you have ADHD. If your son believes that he has ADHD that video, or others like it, might help him understand what that means and he’ll probably start to draw the correct conclusions.

I wish you and your son nothing but the best. Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD was both the best and worst experience of my life. The highs are high and lows are so unfortunately low.
Right, which is why there are basically no unionized software engineering jobs in USA. I'd rather not be forced to change jobs just because you want to join a union. Your love for strict unions means that most people who want a software union isn't allowed to get one since most of their colleagues don't want one.

Can you explain this, what compared unfavorably
Well, the real point is that children have full-time tutors, their parents.

Adults don't. Closest you can get is date someone who wants to help you out.
it's not just windows per say, the fact that you can have multiple linux installations without going through the hassle of setting up something like vmware or virtualbox (with all of their quirks) is such a timesaver.
Yes. Move your current home page to an About page.

The home page is the product so it should have a big search box, a list of categories, and then some top items. Ideally, all three of these will fit above the fold on mobile and desktop. Don't do infinite scroll. At the bottom, have a bigger category list, another search box, and a site map footer. Later, you can use session recording to see how strangers use your landing page and then make it really good. Make your call-to-action button "Add Review" bold.

Show ownership costs in meaningful units: $/100-washes for clothing, $/100-miles for footwear/socks/cycling gear, $/year for business equipment, $/100-meals for kitchen equipment. Put the ownership cost on the search results page and product page, not the item cost. When receiving a review, ask how many times/miles/washes the person used the item every month, when they bought it, and when did it break. When showing the review to others, show the calculated ownership cost as a single number.

Some products are so good that they take many years to wear out. Reviews for products that haven't broken can be misleading. For these kinds of products, your review submission page can explicitly ask if the product wore out or not.

Another problem to solve later: Companies sometimes change a product without changing its name or version number. Usually they make it cheaper. The cheaper version is a different product. The review site should list it as a different product and separate the ratings & reviews. You could use year numbers, eg. "DrTung's Smart Floss (2006)" and "DrTung's Smart Floss (2019)".

People give wildly different responses when asked for star ratings. So don't do that. Instead, ask a concrete question and use that to calculate a rating. Examples: "Will you buy this again when it wears out?" "Would you recommend that your family/friends buy this?" "Do you use other products that do the same thing as this?"

Most folks can't keep track of their purchases & uses so here's your paid product idea: Make an app that lets me record when I bought something, how often I use it, and how much it's costing me. Give me the option of sharing my anonymized usage data with others. Make it super easy to add an item, for example, let me forward order confirmation emails to your service or copy/paste chunks from an email or a product page. Sell the app super cheap: $5/year, $1/month.

One detail the article does not discuss is the distinction between oral and written competence.

I started learning English in my teens. I would judge my reading and writing proficiency to be at the higher end of the native speaker spectrum. I speak fluently as well, but have retained a distinctly non-native accent, and I sometimes have difficulties understanding spoken English (getting older does not help there either…).
A child spends all their time immersed in their native language... they hear nothing else. There is no other ‘competing’ language. Thus, they learn it quickly.

An adult, on the other hand, can never be immersed into a new language like a child. Even if an adult is in a foreign country 24/7 without any speaking his native language, the adult will still hear his native language in his own head; that is, the adult will think and talk to himself in his native language and will always be a competitor for the external voices he hears.
Very cool. `pass` is awesome and I didn't realize it had the `pass edit` feature. I have written scripts that use the 1Password and Keychain command line tools, and I definitely want `nb` to use all three of these, maybe via a plugin.
noexcept is also important for optimization.

If a template function is guaranteed to be exception-safe, and it’s called with a type whose move constructor isn’t noexcept, then the function needs to fallback to the copy constructor to maintain exception-safety.

This happens a lot with the standard library.

I'm surprised how different this is from all the secondary information out there, but ok, you're right. Thanks for the info. (I said "could ever not", not "could not ever", but that's a moot point now.)
The corvette c6 z06 lost a bunch of roofs when it first came out circa 06, like a bunch. Didn’t really hurt the sales or the brand at all.
I see what you mean. I think it's probably a case of 'convergent evolution', where two planes designed for the same sort of thing (size and speed in this case) come out looking sort of similar to each other. The American B-1 Lancer and the Russian Tu-160 look quite similar to each other for instance, but to my knowledge neither is a ripoff of the other.

That doesn’t answer my question first off and moves the goal posts elsewhere secondly. The issue here is there isn’t a VW recall I can find that he’s talking about, the airbag issue was an industry wide thing and not tied to a specific manufacturer, whereas this issue is tied directly to Tesla moving fast and breaking things still.
I consider most, if not all, tap water unsafe and recommend further filtration practices like reverse osmosis.

Secondly, I’ve seen many ice machines throughout my prior work and would strongly recommend avoiding ice cubes as most kitchens don’t clean these properly.
> Of course, in reality Google's decision was probably a little of both, right?

I wouldn't think that Google's development costs were part of the decision. There aren't that many Java APIs -- as the article says, it's ~11k lines of definitions -- so Oracle is seeking ~$818k per line. Assuming Google's lawyers predicted that there was some risk of a lawsuit like this, any engineering costs associated with redesigning the APIs would just be negligible compared to the legal risk.

One could argue that it is quite difficult to design a good API, but Java's APIs are frankly full of mistakes: Date/Calendar, immutable collections with no type safety, "optional" methods like Iterator.remove, etc. It wouldn't take a team of world-class engineers to come up with something better with the benefit of hindsight.

On the other hand, developer familiarity and compatibility with existing Java libraries could have had a significant impact on Android's adoption. I think that was what justified the legal risks.
They should be falsifiable and they should make predictions under various conditions and be right about them for the hypothesis to be considered a theory. Does this have them? Usually successful hypotheses have a body of work behind them, say like Newton’s principia or Darwin’s origin of species. They usually have corollaries and extensions which extol the same truth in various ways. Rest is opinion/speculation - just because it is religion I won’t give it a free pass.
Well, not anything. Some specific things. For instance, I don't fear a union of Appalachian postal workers. If you go help them unionize, you won't find me standing in the way. If you want to unionize Colorado glass workers, I will cheer you on from here. If the proletariat in the steel mills of Pittsburgh wish to unite, I wish them well.

But tech is dominated by rampant xenophobia from the have-nots. They fear the Chinese, the Indians, the god-knows-who-else. This much is clear. While they are weak and disunited, their force is dissipated in online froth. If they are united, they can probably move mountains.

So, while the status quo is undesirable to me, I'm not all that keen on your providing a platform for xenophobes to unite. Preventing this egg from hatching is the optimal play.

Alternatively, you could adopt a measure of good faith: A founding immutable tenet of all these organizations can be that they will always act to increase the number of legal immigrants that can arrive in America. It's pretty easy to demonstrate that the bomb cannot work against me and all those millions who I count similar to me.

So show me.
Nobody is arguing that you can't copy the API if it's fair use. Copying the API in order to make a copy of the software isn't fair use.
There is no better strategy than switching. Only under certain rules is there an equally good strategy in staying.

Good prototype.
To achieve your goal of best products in categories and subcategories, you will need a few things:

* Universal equations that can be applied to all products or major categories of products for what is 'best' durable for long term use, including adjustments for value/price. Have to evaluate for self-repair vs pro repair. Availability and price of spare parts. Account for geographic location.

* To help sell the 'best' recommendation for subcategories of 'best', you could show other products that were close but are not the best. But to help users see 'best' in specific categories (ex. not best durable fridge, but best quietest fridge) you will need many custom filters. Some ideas to copy are the extensive filters on Digikey for say, an alum. electrolytic capacitor: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/aluminum-electrol... or on McMasterCarr for a screw: https://www.mcmaster.com/screws

* A good test of 'best' durable in my mind, is answering the question: Would this product be the one chosen to go with the Mars colony ships? Is it fairly cheap, durable in all environments, easy to repair, easy to make spare parts, lasts a long time, low maintenance, etc?

There is a rich irony in your evocation. As a former resident of that neighborhood, and as someone from that continent once denied, I can see that times can change. Perhaps this country has. And even labor unions, too.

That is part of the definition I suggested. If we knew it was there, then it would be part of our universe. It's a one-way valve on knowledge but I still think it is useful to define it.
There is plenty of work to be done on the definitions. Should we like to, we could have a more rigorous natural language regarding observables by defining a boundary for where the physical universe begins and ends. Shrödinger's wave function does not appear to be part of the physical universe but yet we have an odd kind of observation of it in the form of experimental verification of theory. The space of theoretical physics then becomes part of the greater universe.

I think Penrose's ideas warrant more precisely defined language.

> Well, the real point is that children have full-time tutors, their parents.

That's not universal, though. Many children are neglected to various degrees, and my understanding is they'll still work out their language if they get adequate exposure to it.

You probably only need a tutor the master the intricacies of the more prestigious registers, but that's a different thing than fluency.
Google’s New Logos
That is exactly what I thought as well.

On the one hand, that makes a lot of sense as in, "Let's build a supersonic platform based on one that we know works to prove to ourselves that we can actually build a supersonic plane."

But the marketing spin around "Hey we made a copy of this plane that was built 60 years ago and we think it will work." Just doesn't have the same flair :-)

Still, as NASA has shown time and again, if you have a reliable air frame that is well characterized, and you instrument the crap out of it, then you can set it up a wide variety of aeronautical experiments and collect really valuable data that feels more trustworthy then "theoretical results" from a 10K core parallel computer doing CFD analysis.

If they are smart (and we can presume they are) they are doing both and updating their CFD models with data from XB-1 so that they are more confident that Overture will work. That said, to be really "ground breaking" they really should use the "low boom" technology that NASA has been researching to make a plane that can fly supersonic over land. That would actually be a new spin on the old Concorde business plan where it opens up more routes. Just the "hey it will be cheaper" bet doesn't leave a lot of room for an assumption fail late in the certification process.
I would be very nervous about the integrity of a bridge designed by engineers whose sole source of knowledge was a teacher who has no experience in construction or design of bridges. That’s even considering the engineers may rely on industry standards bodies like AASHTO that prescribe much of the particulars of a design.

To my knowledge, no such standards bodies exist for software, making the designs of pure theorists all the more concerning. Maybe FRAMA-C? I’m not sure if that’s equivalent to AASHTO LRFD. Given that end users have almost no way of evaluating the safety or quality of software, similar to medical or legal counsel, I would think that there is an obvious need for some kind of regulatory body. Celebrity-bloggers seems like all too common a source of best practices.
