You don't even have to be a c-level. Line employees are hired all the time in new companies, regardless of the wreckage they wrought at their previous employer(s). No need to wait 6-12 months even. The only thing missing is a big payout on leaving but that is more a function of c-level managers having good leverage and negotiation skills than a result of their competence or lack thereof.

Learn to use the OS as intended, don't try and wrangle it to your way of working it will always be an uphill struggle and soon an update will make it harder or impossible to continue working that way.

I was a long time Windows user, but started with MS-DOS, through the releases I never really picked up on the new productivity features that MS introduced like when they revamped the control panel in Windows XP, and added all the user folders in My Documents (No thankyou I want my media on a separate drive).

Then for about 6 months due to life circumstances I didn't have access to a Windows machine anymore, and started using OSX, it was totally new to me and I realised that I had to learn to use it properly as trying to use it like Windows would only be frustrating, in time I learned to appreciate it.

Eventually I returned to Windows XP and I decided to approach it fresh, customising it as little as possible and utilising all the productivity features it wanted me to use, it was a much better experience I had than when I was using it before, hoping it was still Win 98.

I now use Linux with Gnome, and the same is true, the people that struggle with Gnome the most are the ones that must customise it, if they just let themselves learn to use it the Gnome way they would have a better experience.

Yes, yes and yes. Last time I checked human cognition and collaboration seemed to attract very little interest. I suppose this somehow falls into a slot of "Human Productivity".

For instance - instinctively I find Clojure easier to work with than Scala. How is it different for different people and why? How does the cognitive complexity scale as the program scales? Do some languages foster collaboration better? As the team scales does the subjective complexity of a program scales in some languages better as the others?

Or something even more fundamental - why do some people write a lot of comments and other don't. Is there a difference in program comprehension with different length of indentation or different formatting for that matter.

We need more insights into the psychology of programming (languages, design, comprehension, etc.). If that's not possible we should at least do more rigorous philosophy of programming.

Very important use case. Actually, I am baffled how a lot of the common frameworks (React, Angular) omit some kind of documentation on how to integrate with third-party libraries that operate on the DOM directly (charting being a very good example) or how do something imperatively with the DOM (e.g. scroll to element after the user did something). In React I actually know how to do it properly, in Angular, however, I am completely lost how to do it.

Putting aside the fact that simply being open source does not ensure anyone actually audits the source (in fact, most open source is largely unaudited by anyone but the developers themselves), of course limiting yourself to using only a tiny amount of software can make you more safe. But that is not really a reasonable solution to anything. Going down that route, you might as well not use a phone or a computer at all, and be perfectly protected.

People WANT to use software, and the software they want to use will never be available as pure, audited FLOSS. Instead, we need to have ways to let user use software from less trusted sources while still working hard to protect them from it.

Apple does this. They put in tons of effort to give you a way to run untrusted software while retaining some amount of trust that it can't go too far in endangering you.

I find it massively frustrating that these FLOSS projects will not do the same. They will just not even try to protect you.
There is a fear that car seats can be weakened by being involved in a crash.

My opinion is that it's way overblown, how many people have a serious crash with kids in the car? How many of them would then go on to resell the car seat? How many of those people would go on to have another serious crash to test the theory?

That said, when it comes to protecting our children, it's hard to justify saving a few bucks.

It's very much a hearts and minds project, with stakeholders in engineering, marketing, press and policy. Each dept uses it to aid their local and regional initiatives. For the first few years it had to fight hard for its existence (originally as a 20% project), scraping budgets together from random sources until stakeholders eventually saw the value.

Google Is Going After What’s Left of Microsoft’s Dominance
My understanding (not living there) is that in the US, Apple have a dominant position in group chat via their proprietary embrace-extend-extinguish version of SMS.

In my experience, it's relatively straightforward to get people to switch off WhatsApp/Messenger to Signal/Telegram, since it's just another app. It'd be more difficult if it held a privileged position in the OS.
Super agree. I can't describe that ad in any other way than a sophisticated lie. They are making it look like Apple wants to take away choice from the user when it's exactly the other way around.

They are careful to never mention what the iOS 14 updates are actually about, but a lie by omission is still a lie.

"At Facebook, small business is at the core of our business."

Has someone here worked in marketing/PR? How can people write stuff like that and not feel incredibly dirty? This is a mostly honest question.

Every time some super big company starts some campaign feigning compassion or act the victim I just want to barf.
I feel similar. There seems to be so little effort spent on the scripts of most shows these days, resulting in tiring copy-pasta plot element etc.

Most recently I tried to watch Cursed. From the very first episode me and my gf predicted every plot beat. I tried to force myself to watch the rest of the show, just to see if it improved, but it was the same lame stuff throughout.

Another big pain point for me it's drama for the sake of drama. I almost categorically avoid 20-episodes-per-season shows because they almost always contains tons of filler drama that does nothing to advance the show or characters.

In sum it really narrows down what I deem watchable. Instead I find myself watching a lot of YouTube videos, with informative or creative content.

At least I avoid yet another rehash of a tired trope which was included solely for the rest of the plot to happen.
I had a 'wow, elephants are incredible' moment recently, watching an episode of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja,_Rasoi_Aur_Anya_Kahaniyaa...

It was just a brief clip, a sort of scene setting background shot, but really amazing to me for some reason - there were a couple of elephants being bathed by humans, looking like it was such bliss, and with total cooperation.

I don't know, I can't really describe it, I know that doesn't sound that incredible, it just looked extraordinary, liked they'd lived and worked and played and bathed together for many years - they probably had - like you wouldn't see any difference if they chatted too.

I'm not familiar with react hooks, but when I read what you write, my immediate reaction is: we already have a way to reuse business logic. It's called functions. Define a function and use it, either a global static function or pass it down to the component if you want to mock it.

Reading the react docs, I find this part interesting:

> Hooks were designed with static typing in mind. Because they’re functions, they are easier to type correctly than patterns like higher-order components. Importantly, custom Hooks give you the power to constrain React API if you’d like to type them more strictly in some way. React gives you the primitives, but you can combine them in different ways than what we provide out of the box.

(https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-faq.html#do-hooks-work-with-s...)

Seems to me as if hooks try to fix the lack of a good programming language. These approaches usually go wrong eventually. Maybe it's time to ditch Javascript (and even Typescript) and use a proper language (purescript maybe?) so that all these things can be done with just functions.

There is no guarantee, but try to find Android-style malware in F-Droid or in GNU/Linux repositories.

> of course limiting yourself to using only a tiny amount of software can make you more safe. But that is not really a reasonable solution to anything.

This is not the goal here. The goal is switch to FLOSS wherever possible and expand FLOSS alternatives. It starts from a small number of apps, but currently F-Droid has most of what you need already. So I don't see this a a problem, except for very specific needs (or if you are into Facebook and co).

> I find it massively frustrating that these FLOSS projects will not do the same. They will just not even try to protect you.

First of all, anbox is already a thing, and it can definitely sandbox your apps. Second, GNU/Linux phones are just at the beginning and they are already far ahead of the first Apple or Android phones. Expect a revolution there...

sorry that should have said: "this characterisation isn't quite fair"
I think a lot of beginners would be put off by the verbosity of this.
This is fair. I also 99.99% believe he intended to kill people and that he thought he had succeeded, but, yeah, it's odd that he was sentenced for something he wasn't charged with.

Personally, I'd prefer his sentence be fully commuted, and then prosecutors actually charge him with at least some of the murders-for-hire, a jury convicts him, and a judge re-sentences him to life in prison for those offenses.

That would be proper justice, I think. I think they could likely win the case despite the crooked cop (who was only involved in one of the five alleged attempted murders-for-hire). In my view, he shares the exact narcissistic and psychopathic mentality of any Escobar or Guzman: "if you come in my way, you forfeit your life".
Also look at the spaces. The length of the words is the same on both texts. So the content is still present just the characters got shifted.

I agree with your points about trust in the process. However I think the ethics violation needs to be somewhat related to the research (or at least related to dishonesty generally). Getting drunk and beating up your spouse is certainly unethical but would not (by itself) mean your research is unsound.
> When I see something I don't understand I like to look for the reasoning behind it.

Similar view here, to an extent. But... with many topics, a majority of what I find is fanboy posts that strawman "problems" with earlier tech/tools, gloss over problems with the new way, and fawn over "hello world" examples. It can take a lot of time to get deep reasons, that may have some impactful value on your own problem spaces, and... at some point, I have to draw the line on "investigating all the bandwagons".

But also, at some point, one of the reasons to adopt something is "everyone else is", and there's some value in using "the latest trend" (hiring, bug solving, new tools, etc). And that may be enough value, but rarely does anyone justify their decision with "everyone else is doing it" - they try to give deeper 'technical' reasons, when (whether there are good/strong reasons) sometimes they just aren't able to do a good job.
Bitcoin hits new all time high at over $23,000
Most developed countries have a declining population, most of europe has a fertility rate of 1.5. We are propping it up with immigration, and if it goes too low, the pention system would collapse - there would be not enough people in work to support the elderly.

>"problem isn't that complex."

It's a very conplex problem, people, especially women, had a tectonic shift in their priorities, culture and family size.

All developing and developed countries are on the same trajectory of declining birthrates, and I have not seen any policy that can raise it succesfully.
I was using Firefox on both mobile and desktop for a significant period of time.

I was little infuriated when they added pocket.

Google meet does work well on chrome only. (Not firefox's fault completely)

I didn't like how they suddenly changed layout on Android and made many extensions unusable.

I didn't like Mozilla the corp / foundation's political alignments, a personal opinion and actually I don't even care about politics. But we Indians (much like South America I guess), have an aversion to SJW virtue-signalling politics because we have seen how it brings too-much right leaning parties into power. Why would a tech company get into politics at all unless it's about some virtue signalling execs pushing their agenda?

They fired some actually talented programmers but kept the C-suite, with their non-technical CEO being paid big amounts despite company being in losing game. While I personally don't like some aspects of rust community, the language itself is solid and could be a differentiating point for firefox.

As soon as I have seen their management take such decisions and their pushing of political agenda, I can't trust these people to maintain a browser well. No offense to engineers I was telling about Mozilla itself. So I somehow migrated to chrome. I miss UBO on mobile but bromite is good enough. Google is not much better

They may not lose much from a middle-class Indian dude switching to other browser. But think about it. Bringing politics and favoring useless C suite execs is a great way to lose future donors. A company should not do politics. They say they do politics for open web, that's not what I am talking about. FSF has done much better than Mozilla foundation in this regard. Mozilla just favoured execs and their agendas before technology, and lost the market.
I think this has merit not only for beginners to programming, but also for programmers who have never touched C. I like that it gets straight to business.

That's how the media industry wants to frame it - that unless you're a developer working in this specific field, you're unaffected.

But you are very affected - you are denied the use of software that this law prevents a small minority of developers from distributing. So we get DVD players that refuse to play region-locked media, or can't record streaming shows, regressing us back to before VCRs entered the market.
Really. That's just cruel.

GTK is good, but the programming model is exactly that. Especially in C.

If bare C is giving beginners a knife to play with, GTK is telling them to put electrical wiring together and "have fun". Oh but the lamp socket looks like a banana and wires look like ropes and vice versa. Good luck!

How can I scrape my Facebook group to get names and emails?
I am extremely torn about this thing, especially as I work in the privacy space. But it's hard to ignore the argument put forward by Ben Thompson that better tracking for facebook, actually tends to help small businesses. If you can't hyper target, you get ads for tooth paste, cars and deodorant (TV ads). If you can then you get ads for boutique florists in your area or gadgets you might actually like.

I don't know what the solution is, because I want to be on small businesses side.

And the issue with apple now is, I guarantee 99% of people will reject IDFA, because it is about personal data and it does sound bad. But the end result of this might not be that good for small business.
Nobody lives in the vast forests in Sweden. The population density of Denmark would only be 2 people/km^2 if Greenland was included. The urbanization is, however, pretty similar, but Stockholm is still much larger than Copenhagen.

I'm not saying that there are not more similarities between the countries. Both drive on the right side of the road, and have flags with crosses, for example. But you still can't just make a list of similarities and then say that they are identical except for the strategy, since the difference could be something not on your list, including just simple random chance.

The report states that there is a correlation between population spread and the spread in the elderly care. They have not made any comment on how the strategy impacted the population spread. I saw the press conference, I know what they said. They refused to answer any question from journalists regarding the over-all strategy. You should understand articles before posting them.
