Probably 90% of the problem is setting yourself up in opposition to OOP at all rather than preaching the gospel of what you consider to be good. Even if you don't have a weak argument it does make your conviction look questionable if the preamble always has to be about how dumb the other thing is.

A lot of the criticism of OOP could also use more steelmaning rather than picking on claims that often feel like the opposite.

Aren't you making the assumption here that GUI toolkits necessarily bundle a perfect implementation of this widget? Why would that be only possible for native GUI and not for Web UI?

If a nation state adversary has hacked the DKIM keys from your email server, they can send fake emails signed with this key. So it doesn't prove that a high value target like a presidential candidate has actually typed and pressed send on that email, it just proves that the first SMTP server that routed the email has sent it.

Even google didn't bother to rotate their DKIM keys as recommended by the standard, so one wonders if the google keys are stored in a cage guarded by lasers and dogs or if there are copies on someones laptop somewhere and any sysadmin with a gambling problem or a secret affair could have leaked them to an unscrupulous journalist or a spy.
Oh hell no, Visual Studio has this behaviour by default (commit all changes if nothing staged) and what we end up with is that some people keep checking in various experiments and privately modified launch config files (that should not be in the repo anyhow but that's another story related to the tools) that end up causing a lot of unnecessary merge conflicts when you pull in their changes (where you were really only expecting some other part).

I've always found linear algebra to be far simpler than any other advanced mathematics. It's basically just a lot of book-keeping and consequences from that. Yet I know smart people who failed it multiple times and had to change majors to avoid it. That makes me pause before dismissing people who complain about it.

The article has a better way to assess difficulty, based on how easy it is to teach other how to use it.
I don't think that's really true. Years ago, I maintained a Java desktop application, using SWT as the graphics library (not even mentioned by the post author which is weird.) It wasn't a big application, but also not stupidly trivial. It would start fast, run fast, and didn't need much RAM at all.

There are of course examples of slow, heavy java applications, but I don't think it has to be that way. I'm not totally sure what I did differently aside from consider my dependencies (e.g. using a lightweight dependency injection framework rather than something like Spring), but it's definitely not a given that Java desktop applications have to use a bucketload of RAM.
Quite a lot of negative comments about AirBNB from Hacker News today. Definitely a buy signal
Weird question; have you looked at perforce?

My previous and current company use perforce but many people (often those who recently join) are decrying that perforce is less elegant than git, but, realistically and based on your own criteria it would be "better" for the connected case.

I'm personally a big fan of 'offline/local-first' being a thing, but I'm a sysadmin not a developer.
Airbnb is GREAT if you:

- Want to rent an entire house in some specific area

- Want to rent something as cheap as possible / on a strapped budget.

Very cheap travel/plane tickets and accommodation has made international travel very accessible for a lot of people around the globe. So I can absolutely see why some people swear to using airbnb - but for me? I'll rather pay the extra $50 for a hotel room. That's chump change for peace of mind, IMO.

Yeah well, "
I didn’t care about the looks, though, it was not a major concern"

There is the difference. This post is for people who do care about the looks. (or do care, that their users care)
Some users don't care, which is fine to serve them, what they want, but most actually do.

"When people don’t laugh at Electron applications, I don’t know what could be wrong with Swing"

People do not laugh at electron apps, because they use html which is designed for good looking.
In other words, usually much better looking.
It is just not performant, unless you use native modules etc.

And native toolkits are still a thing. Gtk for linux for example.

Personally I also care about the looks, but I prefer function over form, meaning I want a functioning app first and secondly it should look good. But I like to have both.
The underlying technology of git is great, but the UX is terrible. The commands are all named wrong. "To create a branch, use git branch, but that doesn't check it out. If you want to create it and check it out at the same time use "git checkout -b", not "git branch --checkout" which would be 1000x more logical (and then there could be an option to make that the default behaviour)

Resisting GUI's is not a good idea. The trick to learning is to always have `gitk --all` or a similar viewer open in another window.

Also instead of `git add` / `git commmit`, use `git gui`, but for most other things stick to the CLI.

Having said that use a GUI, github desktop is terrible. It tries to make things easier and as a result takes you away from git's standard terminology, so it's impossible to understand what it does.

Something I found teaching other people is it helps a lot if you haven't learnt SVN before.
Just out of curiosity, what would an acceptable cold start time be? I feel like there’s a SQLite + function-as-a-service opportunity here.
I think the term "glue work" somewhat hides the importance of building strong professional relationships and being able to develop as a human within your peer group.

That ability, though, hinges entirely on the affordances provided by an equitable social context. That is: mutual respect, acceptance, understanding, open mindedness and so on.

In that regard, the earning the title "senior" isn't just a reflection of your own maturity, who is awarded that title is just as much a reflection of workplace culture, it's values and the available opportunities.
+1. The very first question:

>Oh, I just pushed a change. I really didn’t wanna push that, so how do I undo it?

Is a Github problem, not a git problem. You might as well ask how to unsend an email. If you don't know what git push means, you shouldn't be using it and are playing with intellectual property fire.

The conflation of Github with git is responsible for a lot of confusion. Having Github be your first interaction with git is a disaster.

Regardless, there's no shortage of blog posts complaining about git being hard. But there is a shortage of effective, popular competitors. I think that, actually, many-chefs many-branch differential version control is just a hard problem and creating a simple model for it is much harder than complaining about git.
I suspect if you let these tickets become market-priced like airline seats, you wouldn’t have these problems either.

I think the core issue is that the rail operator (gov) for whatever reason wants these last-minute tickets to be available at an artificially low ticket price.

That’s not what airlines are trying to do. Trying to build a system that works with the natural effects of markets is much easier than creating a system that works against market forces.

Look at the Ticketmaster experience for popular concerts and sports tickets. Waiting rooms and bugs and software workarounds/hacks, all because it’s a raffle for tickets being sold below what the free market price would be.

This does not appear to be a primarily technical problem. If these tickets sell out in 10 minutes, creating a better technical solution to let them sell out in 2 minutes isn’t actually improving anything meaningful.
> I don't see any reference here to IDFA being combined with browser cookies?

You should read again. Under "Determining Unique Users" you can see they link every "device id" to a unique user ID. A device id can be a browser cookie, an Apple IDFA or an Android AdID.

> Apple took this step without needing to be pressured by consumer rights groups.

Well, Apple is a smart company and better than most others with privacy. They may have concluded for themselves that they would probably get under pressure for this.
While this sounds all nice it actually fails to model Git as it is. Git is an object database and its objects are blobs, trees and commits not diffs, so your premise is based on a misconception.
UX Lessons from Big Sur
With five years of Go experience at work (plus some casual Rust in my spare time), you learn to just skip over the `if err != nil` lines. It's not really a big deal.

It's like how people get overwhelmed when they read Rust code and they come across lifetime annotations for the first time. The unusual stuff sticks out and makes you trip up if you're not used to it. Once you are, it blurs into the background.
Is your central complaint that a "graphics for the JVM" library is not a full featured "UI toolkit for the JVM" library?
Really? I’m pretty sure the algorithm is guiding you in al the big players of social media. They are guiding you because they want your attention and they want to show you ads, if they counted only on your friends to do that for you then you’d leave. Facebook now injects random videos of pages you don’t follow just to keep you attached. Instagram suggests pages, friends, changes order of videos, etc.
You have a relationship with the algorithm in many of them.
"so maybe our definition of "looks good" is somewhat easier."

Yup, there is the difference. My target audience are common people, so I have to care more.

I don't think you're wrong just that the discussion warrant more nuance and less ego. On the the comment...

> You just draw it yourself.

This is disingenuous. It might be ok in Games not to have decent interop with the OS but for productivity tools, it is a requirement.

Which means you need to implement OS native interop (for multiple DE's in linux perhaps), accessibility for screen readers and you need to be smart with your rendering because having a function called 60+ times a second is a surprisingly big foot gun. All this across 2-3 very different (and currently diverging) operating systems.
In other countries the role of the census is significantly lessened in modern times because basic population questions can be answered with "instantaneous" (in terms of when it was measured, if not when you get the results) data. The idea of waiting increments of 10 years to get basic counts of where people are living / moving to / from seems ridiculous. Deeper demographic information is usually handled via sampling, and does not require the nationwide (and especially this time, logistically taxing) mobilization of census-takers.

I do agree it would be difficult for the US to shift to such a system given the requirement is constitutional rather than merely a procedure of the civil service.
> You instead should focus on the fact that Qing dynasty had a very weak government, which is neither capable of manage her own internal affairs, nor defend herself from foreign invasions.

This seems a little broad. The Qing dynasty covers a period of about 300 years. Sometimes they were very strong. Sometimes they were weak. But even that is kind of a shallow view of things.

They enforced a law that all Chinese males had to wear the Manchu hairstyle. This was incredibly unpopular, but it stuck.

They also banned the binding of women's feet. That ban had no effect at all.

Where do those two positions belong on a scale of "government strength"? They look objectively similar to me.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted, but JVM is just as native as browser is. The jetbrains IDE mentioned in the article is especially very clunky and slow resource hog. In fact so much, that I would actually prefer using electron app over it.
Because most options are named after parts of the underlying structure. At least for me that makes them much easier to remember. There are some exceptions, but in general there is a logical system behind the naming.
Different JVMs have different font rendering settings. Try Zulu.

> Also have a look at community cookbooks, most stuff is very old.

A lot of the functionality offered by community cookbooks made it way into the core DSL. Most community cookbooks for installing applications were abandoned for other approaches though.

>I think chef have totally killed their community by doing that stupid EULA move.

I agree. Seems like they tried to move to the "redhat model" without having a centos style OSS version. CINC has come along and filled that gap: https://cinc.sh/
PowerShell Universal 1.5
Gemini is a monoculture. They almost say it in the FAQ:

> 2.5 Why not just use a subset of HTTP and HTML?

> [...] The problem is that deciding upon a strictly limited subset of HTTP and HTML, slapping a label on it and calling it a day would do almost nothing to create a clearly demarcated space where people can go to consume only that kind of content in only that kind of way. [...]

The protocol itself has very strong opinions on what is allowed and what is not. It is simple but mandates TLS (so, not simple), because authors think encryption is important but other things are not. It is also deliberately non-extensible.

Not saying it is a bad thing, I mean, they didn't hurt anyone. But that protocol is clearly intended as a rallying point for like-minded individuals rather than something for everyone to use.
With the DOM, can you extend the default text input component while keeping the default behaviors, like when inheriting/subclassing a component for normal GUI toolkits? For example accessibility.

Also, does the DOM have a ListView/TreeView?

That's about as anticompetitive as it gets, using your market power to prohibit your partners from mentioning a lower cost alternative. The damage to consumers would be easy to illustrate.
I don't disagree but clearly common sense is clearly not prevailing in the bureaucracies that cook up this shit.

I think this is a fundamental problem with how we've structured modern organizations in a way that removes all personal accountability and responsibility. Everyone is accountable to the organization. Nobody has "be reasonable" as part of their job duties or performance evaluation. It's not wholly their fault but I blame the MBA-ization of everything for a lot of this.

Curious if you guys consider licensing voices that would be interesting pairing that with the ability to generate a voice for TTS(that small voice sample model generation tech). Then theoretically can use it for whatever eg. home automation or reading stuff on demand.

The AWS polly voices are decent but would be nice to get a bigger selection.
Not every web service is easy to set up with HTTPS as a simple Let's Encrypt service. Take a game. It dynamically balances between servers rented and destroyed on the fly. It needs a wildcard DNS certificate. Then all the sub-servers need to have that wildcard certificate.

In conclusion, deprecating HTTP makes it harder for people to get started on the web. How are you going to get certificates for IP address' control dashboard, after all?
Could be very useful.

Here (UK) they have just started offering supermarket ordering through a partnership with a local supermarket chain (Morrisons), which mean I can order fresh produce, etc from the Amazon's app/website with free next day delivery and live approval of any substitutions. This is head-on competition with the the incumbent supermarket chains...

In the UK large supermarket chains like Tesco, Asda, Morrisons run their own in-house pharmacies, so if Amazon has already a deal with Morrisons the biggest hurdle to adding a Pharmacy service may be handling of regulations.
The title is at best misleading. They do not attack M. Schrems in Justice or even morally. They are the object of two complaints and they defend themselves invoking that privacy laws are not applicable as they are not directly processing data. This seems a perfectly valid argument. I'd be curious to understand in details their role in the process and see how courts will treat it.

Beyond privacy laws, there might be also allegation of fraud as their marketing campaigns seem to relies heavily on privacy and they seem to have a curious conception of it.
>I could say more about what you would do to make a better version but a comment isn't the place for that.

I'd be very interested because it's rare for me to see anyone attempt and, when I do, they break a basic use case.

I suppose the pace would be too much slower, but I really wish Wikipedia had more of a 'maintainer'-'change request' model (a la GitHub etc. or even mailing lists) sometimes, so edits had to actually be justified and approved.

StackExchange has a reasonable compromise I suppose - you're automatically a 'maintainer' with certain (quite low) karma, and until then your changes are proposed and can be (but generally not) justified per se, and approved by someone who does have sufficient points; then you get some points if its approved.

I think that's unfair because I don't see that git even has a UI - it's designed to be a command-line API. The thousands of terrible GUIs out there are so bad that using the command line directly is still the best UI. (I think GitHub has done a great job managing remote repos - I am only talking about local tools.)
