Once coding no longer was on the critical path of my employment (as a middle manager in a large tech company) I went back to vim from IntelliJ with nothing more than syntax highlight and autoindent. The reason? I wanted to know my programming languages better.

Instead of auto-imports and auto-complete I was forced to have java/scala docs open for whatever library I was using. Beyond giving me better muscle memory for the core language libraries, this had the interesting side effect of only using well documented libraries.

The lack of jump-to-definition also made me think more about dependencies in the code I was writing since they would require a cognitive leap and reasonably heavy context switch. Since cross-file refactoring requires bash-fu and is also a heavy process, this furthered my desire to minimize coupling.

I can't say I'm more productive and if I were coding day in and day out for my day job I would probably still use IntelliJ (especially for large Java code bases that were crafted by advanced IDE usage), but I find coding to be a more holistic endeavor now.
I think the word you're looking for is coincidental.
You missed other items. This service does not need to be multi-region, it's a content generation service. A CDN or other similar last leg would need the regional redundancy, not the content rendering system.

You also way overestimated the raw compute. Most of those services are going to be idle and waiting for I/O most of the time. Any single core could easily be handling dozens of requests, not one service per.

Shipping features without talking to users is a death knell. You end up with an bloated product that serves no one particularly well.

It sounds like all the other problems are just derivatives of this because all of the time was spent head down and "working" and no time spent being strategic, creative or learning what your customer base actually wants.
Wouldn't last official sale date be a better indicator of true device support? For example if someone bought it in an Apple store on the last day available, how long period would they have received updates for?

For example in mid 2017 it was still officially sold by Apple in India (source: https://www.iphonehacks.com/2017/05/apple-iphone-5s-iphone-s...).
(IANAL) It doesn't matter if people think RIAA's DMCA isn't legally valid (or even if it isn't actually valid), Github still has to follow section 512 of the DMCA as a service provider, and it's not their responsibility to determine validity of the claim. RIAA is a 3rd party authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder, so they are allowed to send a DMCA takedown. Also the takedown is claiming DMCA section 1201, which is for bypassing DRM, not distributing infringing material.

tl;dr there probably isn't anything inherently wrong with the RIAA's claim, and there's definitely nothing wrong with github's response.

As for DMCAing an oil producer's repository for something unrelated to DMCA, github would still take it down, but it's quite likely that you'd end up with a lawsuit from the oil company for damages. As long as GitHub is run by a US company, it doesn't matter how advocating they are of open source, nothing would change...they'd still take down the repository after receiving a DMCA takedown request.

And the last point, my understanding is apple wasn't actually required to assist the FBI, but american companies are required to follow DMCA.
It's worth noting that the IntelliJ IDEA Java IDE was Jetbrains' first and it is written in Java. A few years later they invented Kotlin with a focus on strong IDE support. The language was designed from the beginning with tooling in mind.
Wasn't the purpose of that throttling to extend the life of older phones? Throttling the CPU let them stay within the limits of the worn out battery and let the device continue to be used without crashing.
> A large part of the distinctive EV design is to increase their value for signalling.

I've heard this too, but while Chevy and Nissan went the exotic route, every Tesla so far has been fairly normal looking. There were nice-things on them like the gull-wing doors and the handles on the Model S, but those were contained in a traditional design.

The CyberTruck will obviously break that mold, but I suspect that much of the look of the CyberTruck is to keep costs down and efficiency up. It is extremely difficult to make a traditional pickup truck efficient.
It's worth a billion dollars today. But in 5 years, who knows? Could be worth $10B. Could be worth $0.
If you've spent any amount of time in China, you realize that the people of china are complicit but not responsible for the rise of the CCP, because china doesn't hold elections - it is not a democracy. Unfortunately, given the government mandated involvement in business and finance operations above that of a small gas station, doing business with china generally means in some way doing business with the CCP.

I still have friends from china and friends here in the US who I went to college with. I fear for their ability to speak freely and have a place in our modern world without being hampered by the heinous actions of a racist and sociopathic regime.
Interview with Douglas W. Jones, a computer scientist at the University of Iowa and co-author of the book Broken Ballots

A fundamental flaw of direct-recording voting machines—that is, ones where you pull the lever on an old mechanical machine or you touch the touch screen on a modern one—all of those machines end up being completely impossible to audit. There’s no way to know whether the machine was honest or not, short of taking it apart and actually being able to inspect the mechanism. We have no good way of doing that with software. The complete lack of any auditable record of the count, so that you had to completely trust programmers, was a real problem. [But] the vast majority of votes in the U.S. today are being recorded on paper ballots that are filled in by hand. That makes me feel reasonably good. And furthermore, a growing number of states have some kind of an audit law.

I addressed that - OpenWRT is a 3rd party firmware you need to reflash on your router (if you're lucky). It also doesn't install on an equipment I need.

I've never seen this features out of the box on SOHO equipment like ASUS routers, TP-Links, FritzBoxes, Apple routers and other equipment that actually ends up in peoples homes. And again, we're YEARS after the standard and there still doesn't seem to be feature parity between the two stadards on even basic home equipment.

In China or Venezuela, if your bank account is seized by the government, it's because you're already in prison, so not having access to money will be the least of your concerns. Rather, you will be worried about whether you'll ever get to leave prison, or more immediately, what form of mistreatment you will receive from the guards and whether the rest of your family was rounded up as accomplices for whatever alleged crimes you were charged with (if any).
True, a difference in viewpoint: your HUGE COST is to me PRACTICALLY FREE.

Some things can be solved before compile time, some during compile time, some during startup, and some only by running as long as needed. The earlier the better.

If you like, you can think of compile-time as its own runtime.
The problem we always had was that per user pricing. This is fine if you’re a SaaS business with very high value per user, but if you’re B2C it’s very hard to make it work for most businesses because lifetime values are often several orders of magnitude lower.

Either their margin is so low that they need to charge like this, or they have just rules out whole markets on the basis of pricing.
>Those gig workers want to do it and the customers want to pay.

Do a poll of Drivers and ask if they would rather "set their own hours and be their own boss" or have the standard benefits of a FTE.

>Lyft has saved me from the atrocious business model of taxis, which is based on screwing customers who have few or no choices.

This says something about the Taxi industry not the goodness of Uber and Lyft.

>Again, we should just have a social safety net, like every other first world country. Don’t pretend rejecting stupid band aid fixes that the supposed beneficiaries don’t want is an attack on drivers.

I don't think you understand your own argument. This is nothing but a slap in the face for drivers, a giveaway to Uber and Lyft Stockholders and a burden for Taxpayers.
Most exits are purchases by private equity? I had no idea - are there any references for that available?
Is this just salary or total compensation? If it's just salary then it's easy enough to compensate the CEO in one of many other possible ways.

I wonder if the median CEO will start making more. The going rate will become 99x approximately the SF average salary of 98k, or just under 10mm.
For me, this means my Eden 5000 with a fanless C3 processor continues to be my longest running computer that sees continual usage for source code control. I think 2002/2003? CPU is 32-bit, so still chugging along with Gentoo these days.

A WPF app will load much faster and feel more integrated (more Windows like) than an electron app.

I have a C# / WPF app that I optimized to the best of my capacity but that still needs about 1 minute to compute data. I shudder to think how long JS would take to do the same job.

A Productive Productivity System
In a basic way, all taxes are "wealth redistribution". If you tax every taxpayer $0.02 for public roads and non-tax payers get to use them, well, that's redistribution - and nobody (seriously) has problems with this.

The problem comes with policies of the form "We're going to tax [some wealthy group] and redistribute the money to [some other group]". There's a few sets of issues:

1. The money never gets to the downstream group. It gets eaten up by fees and processing, etc. Great for the middleman but not anyone else. If it does get to the downstream group, the total amount is gravely reduced.

2. You have to make a very strong case for taxing [some wealthy group]. Simply having wealth doesn't seem a good basis for taxation - "You're successful so we're going to charge you more taxes, maybe next time you won't be so successful" Obviously there are other arguments that can be made - the wealthy stole their money, or gained it illictly, etc - but those arguments tend to be individual cases and don't allow acting against an entire class of people unless you go into weird theoretical territory.

3. Solving "wealth disparity" isn't a meaningful goal. A thousand homeless folks all in the same campground have no wealth disparity - that doesn't mean you've improved their life. Simply funneling money doesn't solve problems, and making the end goal to shift around bits of paper is mistaking a process for a goal. If your goal is "We should provide a base level of healthcare to those who can't afford it" and can name an actual price for that, then that's a meaningful goal and you can tax appropriately if voters approve it.
States and even Federal courts have ruled in different directions, so this currently depends on where you are charged.

Some cases have put people in jail a long time for contempt when they refused to hand over passwords.

We were probably writing the first few lines of code for Papercups around the time this article was written (in July), but we're another Intercom alternative :)

Like Chatwoot, we're open source and have a free tier on our hosted version for anyone who'd like to give us a try!

Here's the repo [0], website [1], and demo [2].

No, it's because, in my opinion, the socially profitable slogans and ideas about identity are not suddenly ways to define people as "socially conservative". I mean, sure, maybe if you're looking for the extreme and literal sense of anyone who doesn't automatically accept any proposal to impose new social norms as conservative, but that's almost meaningless.

Very timely article for me.

I spent most of last week looking at live chat tools and also came to the same conclusion re ChatWoot (ie: good product + open source + lacking some features + but possibly extensible)

We're moving off of Intercom. Great set of features - but the pricing is horrendous.

I think live chat is more important than just the live chat. Using the chat widget for analytics, tracking, and automated messaging is also important.

I want to be able to take screenshots of what my users are looking at when they need support. I want to be able to detect what pages theyre on and provide contextual help when they need it.
not 1-1.

a personal wealth tax is not felt or distributed down lane. As long as it is not a company tax, it will not be directly pointed to the buyer.
2 years ago I tried Intercom too, to discover their prices. They were charging me more than Google App, Slack, and AWS combined. Very disappointed and I told them back then. It is still the same 2 years later.
Ya, there is definitely a niche for that. But it can be difficult. Usually involves certifications and finding the right markets that want what you have in the quantities you can produce it and not more. Also, a lot of the places where land is cheap enough are pretty far from places where demand for heritage pork or wagyu beef is high.

Also, I have found that the old timers are pretty slow to change, but there is actually good reason for that. They have seen the trends come and go, some have jumped on those trends and eventually gotten burned (in my area, it was ostrich and emu farming).

Also, the slow methodical farm build-up over the years tends to evolve out a pretty efficient and effective farming method. I remember a few years ago, my brother and I got on this kick thinking there was a lot of money to be made on the farm by further fattening or "finishing" the cows before selling them. As traditionally, a lot of farms will sell yearlings to feedlots for a lower price. The feedlot then fattens them up and sells for a profit. But after a lot of research and number crunching, we found that the math just didn't work because we would have to pay to ship in the grain, since it isn't grown very locally and then we would also have to eat the higher cost of shipping those heavier cows to the auctions which are also not that close.

The old timers knew this wasn't a profitable pathway even though they didn't all necessarily know the whole story of why it isn't a profitable pathway. We have found this to be true in a lot of cases with older farmers. They know some things won't work, even if they don't fully know the details why.
They are an option but I've never used one. I've been fortunate to only have my bus need overnight service once. I got a hotel room.
It’s not that simple. You can’t pass on taxes on profits. If hypothetically charging 57$ maximizes profits then raising prices just lowers profits.

Alternatively, if some aspect of your process like
sugar is taxed then companies seek alternatives like corn syrup. That extends to property taxes, executive pay, etc where companies seek alternatives to better utilize resources. Though in the case of salaries that my end up as various executive perks.

I wonder what the percentage of people calling for violence was. The article says there were 300k group members, and FB only said that "some" were calling for violence. You can find "some" people calling for violence in any group, so I'd like to know what the difference is here (regardless of whether or not the group has legitimate complaints).
Alright, I'll take that as a "no".
It was to extend the battery life, which was a workaround for the flawed battery design (contra CPU power draw). I bought an iPhone SE in the first month available and it started throttling by month 10, I'm not a battery designer, but I did not buy a device marketed as 2x the speed of 5S only for it to silently drop to 0.8x the speed of the 5S less than a year later.
"What is it now? Either Netflix is legally allowed to act like this or the twitter users are legally allowed under fair use. It can't be both right, can it?"

It is in fact both. Fair use is a defense in copyright claims and can only be determined by a court, so Netflix can legally claim they believe their IP s being violated and then fair use can then be used as a defense against that claim.

"The First Amendment deals with the government, not private companies. If this were true, every user blocked from Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit could take those companies to court for violating the First Amendment."

You are correct about the scope of the first amendment but still every user blocked can take those companies to court for violating the First Amendment. They will just lose.
Not all of them. Some baristas and cooks were directly employed by the company, but certainly there is even less incentive to do that now.

I would not get too attached to our civilization. Can you imagine how many there must have been in 250,000 years? Include the ones from Neanderthals and other homo species, too. And they’re all gone. Ours will be, too. How can we possibly secure a civilization for, say, 1M years?
I think there are essentially three schools of thought.

1.) wealth/income inequality is inherently wrong, so redistribution is automatically good. private property is theft!

2.) whatever people get paid is theirs, fair and square. therefore redistribution is automatically bad. taxation is theft!

3.) some people are genuinely much more productive than others, and their pay may reflect that. at the same time, people can acquire more than their "fair share" by exploiting vulnerabilities in the system.

from the perspective of 3.), redistribution via tax looks like a dirty hack to mitigate the consequences of a deeper problem. it makes things a little better in the short term, but it doesn't address the root question: why are some people able to capture outsized compensation for their work? but hey, sometimes you have an urgent issue and the quick fix is all you have time to implement.

From the interview a story about paper ballot tabulation problems:

With fill-in-the-bubble ballots, a typical error would be printing the ballot with the candidates in one order but programming the scanner with the candidates in a different order. There was a famous incident of this happening [in] Pottawattamie County, [Iowa], in 2006 in its June primary. The net result was that the numbers that came up were pretty nonsensical and bore no relationship with anyone’s expectation of the outcome of the race. The election officials noticed. They did a hand count, and that completely resolved the problem. And they could because they had paper ballots.

I think like most things there are tradeoffs and the qualities most needed in the system run counter to one another--speed can cause errors to be missed, security reduces access, etc.
You're ignoring how prosecution works.

Intent alone does not prove anything, you need proof of act (actus reus to the mens rea).

To play along with your analogy; do you have proof that someone killed someone else? Even if you have a damning confession letter which proves intent. Do you have a murder weapon? Evidence that puts the person at the scene of the crime? Circumstantial evidence like phone location data?

Ironically intent is the far harder thing to prove, I have no idea why you chose to base your argument on intent.
> How do you surrender assets you don't have control over?

If you’ve arranged to share control of the Bitcoin wallet with someone else so they can move coins out of it in order to evade a court order, what’s happened is you’ve now conspired with someone else to evade a court order. Say hello to the RICO act, or something like it. Maybe you’ll be spending some time in prison after your assets are seized, and maybe your friend will be too. It’s kind of hard for your friend to claim that they were innocent.

There are a lot of tough laws against this stuff which are designed to work against the mob and organized crime. You’re not really inventing something new, you’re just doing old-fashioned mafia stuff, but using computers to do it. The court doesn’t care that you used computers to do it.
