I think our history books do a disservice when they teach McCarthyism by focusing only on the falsely accused-- many Americans really did support the USSR and some even swore an oath to Stallin. The lesson should be that it was still a mistake to take civil liberties away from these people who passionately supported a horrible cause, not that McCarthyists were just bad prosecutors who arrested the wrong people.

I believe Trump supporters, especially the QAnon weirdos, are wrong to believe the things that they do, but they are less wrong than the people who supported the Soviet Union during its genocidal reign. Unless people are charged and convicted of a crime, their livelihoods should not be taken away by the whims of these powerful companies selectively enforcing their rules. McCarthyism was wrong then and it's wrong now, even though its targets are wrong too.

> JIRA is a touchstone that seems to equate to no autonomy

Jira doesn't intrinsically take away engineers' autonomy but in many cases it's the most visible manifestation of company policies/procedures that do.
Yes. As you can see, this is by design.

It's down to the design of the space. We made our own, and "Private Spaces" were visually distinguished by "carpets" ... it made a huge difference. The rules for shared space vs proximity are very clear, but the design of the graphics need to be clear and consistent.

If you do that, it works a treat.

"Under U.S. law, use of a competitor's trademark in accurate and non-deceptive comparative advertising is legal and does not constitute trademark infringement" [1]

Which shows that it is a fairly grey area. "Fair use" doctrines apply to trademark infringement and using your competitor's name in this way has in the past been allowed.

Which is in some way sad.

I know we are not hired "to write code" but "to ship products", and that everything is done in "sprints" and we must be very agile in doing them because they're always non-stop, and quality comes second (unless, of course, you are really skilled and can ship high quality code in half the time it usually takes), and customers first and "we'll polish it in version 2" and...

I guess I feel "guilty" of writing good code just for the sake of writing good code (and taking time for doing so). At work code comes second, product comes first. I accept it and I try my best, but at the end of the day the code I write at my own pace at home for side projects, now that's the code I like to write.
If I was interviewing you and you told me "my current company has very bad development practices" and then gave me a list of all the things you think they are doing wrong and all the ways it could improve, I'd probably be really impressed. Then I'd ask you why you don't change those things, and I would hope you'd tell me a story about how you tried to change it but got blocked, or maybe small changes you are making to make things better.

This would tell me that you're really engaged, up to date on the latest methods, and motivated to make things around you better.
Apart from Telegram now having E2E encryption by default, it also invents its own weird and unverified encryption instead of using a more peer-reviewed and robust method. Signal's encryption tech has some strong guarantees and advanced the state-of-the-art when it first appeared.

Worth noting that Matrix's crypto is also based on Signal's algorithm (but extended to support efficient encryption in rooms with a large number of participants).
It's not the only solution for building products. But you can still maintain dev autonomy. Instead of having senior team-members break apart work into story-sized pieces a system can be broken apart into smaller pieces. Devs can still be working towards a specific business goal, but they can own a larger portion of their work, and they can work with longer deadlines.

Also, I think dealing with those large scale issues is what separates a staff/principal dev from a senior dev.

>The "loose components" model that a lot of OSS seems to follow means that things like this require more effort, despite the fact that GNOME is supposed to be an integrated environment.

It seems like the opposite. It's the tight integration of the toolkit with applications that causes this issue. If there was loose integration between the file picker and the application and its toolkit, like with the newer xdg-deskop-portal protocol, it would be simpler for someone to create a better file picker witout risking breaking anything else, and for applications to be made to use it.
Another explanation I got from a Lithuanian is that, in the past, beer was used mainly as food. This was because the millstones were flaky and so you would end up with bits of stone in flour. Not great for the dental work. If you brew beer then the bits of millstone settle to the bottom.
It's actually a pun: Dexter, as in the Latin for "right", as in your right hand. Bad I know.

I wouldn't bet on it. Specially since his go to game is Age of Mythology. A game that came out in 2002.
As a KDE user I wouldn't care what the Gnome people do if their BS wouldn't affect me. But it does, and it's annoying!

They refuse since over a decade to implement some generic way to open the file-picker native to the running DE. They force their garbage usability on everybody, even people that would prefer not to use "anything Gnome". Same issue with CSDs, by the way.

Like I said: They can have their broken stuff at their place if they prefer it like that. But it's utterly antisocial to force that stuff on everybody without any opt-out possibility. They even actively and deliberately break and remove configuration options. That's just not OK.
The QAnon folks are no less irrational than any other (pseudo-)religious devotees and should be afforded the same protections under the first amendment.

For those that lived through the antitrust period Microsoft went through in the 90’s, how would you compare the current slate of tech giants and their influence relative to that period.

Did Microsoft exert more control for their period than current tech giants do now? How did their hold and influence on markets compare to current market leaders in present times.

Twitter and most other online platforms have always shut down certain political groups like the KKK. KKK members have been silenced by most businesses.

Is it theoretically possible that someone at Twitter or FB could decide that Democrats were the only acceptable party and try to silence everyone else?

Yes, that is possible, but it also possible that they will continue to apply the policies the same way going forward. If I didn't like a change they made political or otherwise I would quit, just like I quit digg years ago.

Pick a popular video chat application, have you and someone else on the same wireless network both join the same chat, go into separate rooms to avoid crosstalk on the mics.

Have one person talk, then realize there is a half a second lag.

This is an opportunity for Parler to learn that rolling your own infra is not only freer but cheaper.

We have written to Google, Microsoft, and other companies in the Valley to advise them that their shortsighted boycott – one motivated by partisan political considerations and pressure campaigns – has had the side effect of denying us access to technologies we need such as PhotoDNA.

This is a problem. If you don't like gab, fine, but any social network running at scale is going to need assistance in keeping child sexual abuse material away. When your partisan poo-flinging contributes to the victimization of children, it's time to step back and reassess.
The abstractions a framework makes available are not analogous to words, but rather ideas. Indeed you should not bother writing a book if you have no new ideas.

Gab claims to provide "what appears, after this week’s events on Twitter, to be the last place on the Internet where the First Amendment exists."

Awesome! Most of the peertube stuff I've found out there has been FramaTube, a couple fringe-interest instances, those ones hosted by the creator which only have the owner's content (which is fine, I just need several instances like this to work), instances with super low bandwidth, instances in <not-my-language>, or some combination of the above.

With the exception of the first one that 404s, every one of these is going to get a lot of use in our house!

Do other peertube instances share the bandwidth or just share links to the original server? Would it make sense for me to setup a peertube instance purely to act as a caching proxy on my network?
Why is the government the litmus test here? The law is only one realization of virtue.

I know you know how statistics work, and you know this isn’t evidence of what you’re suggesting. I don’t know why anyone pretends that these stats suggest that companies are being racist about hiring. Having been involved with hiring for several of the major tech companies, and being aware of the DEI targets at others, I can tell you that they are fighting over non-white male and non-indian male talent. It’s simply not true. Given that you’ve seemingly been out of the workforce for some time, I don’t know why you insist on being so adamant about how hiring works.

As for laws on the books, you found a historical artifact that has no legal effect, which the article you linked explains. It’s a reminder of a racist past, yes. These reminders will always exist in our society, and while it makes sense to continue to scrub them from legal documents over time, it’s not a good faith argument to cite such a thing as though it has any legal effect today.

To be intellectually honest, you should also be upset that virginia makes it illegal for unwed couples to live together. It’s also illegal to kill a sasquatch in Washington. In Kansas, it’s illegal to put ice cream on cherry pie.

To falsely say that blacks are hired last and fired first in America is not only preposterous, but extremely counterproductive to the outcome you’re presumably looking for. This is just inventing bogus reasons for Americans to feel hostile towards each other, and discouraging more people from even trying.
Jira, for all it's warts, is a massively configurable piece of software that can be deployed/used in a hugely broad variety of ways.

I once worked at a place where Jira was without doubt a positive force within the company. There was an Altassian-trained Jira specialist working there who collaborated setting up each Jira project, and provided ongoing advice/assistanece to users (both PMs and devs). This was in a company of around 40 devs, 8 QAs, and 6 PMs, running perhaps 10-12 concurrent projects (almost all websites/webapps). It worked _really really_ well. (And I've spent th3e last 5-6 years looking for excuses/opportunities to poach that specialist...)

The key takeaways I learned from her was to identify and get leadership agreement right up front about whether a particular project was going to be "agile" or "waterfall" - because if you are going to be agile, Jira wants to be set up as a high level todo list of features/functions. If _any_ of the Jira tickets start to decree (from a PM/BA/manager) _how_ a feature or function is to be accomplished, you're fooling yourself and should have set it up as a waterfall project full of disposable-worker-bee style tickets.

I'm sure my takeaway was only scratching the surface of the deep understanding she had about project planning and managements styles, but that has work OK for me over the years. Either provide Jira tickets for features, and let the devs create their own sub tickets to document how they're doing things (and to get discussion/signoff on thing they ask for input on), or have the PM/BAs document a project in minute detail and fill each dev's schedule with sprints full of tickets representing 2 hours work or less.

I guess my point here is "Don't blame Jira. It's widely criticised flaws are largely a problem with the way it's used rather than a fundamental flaw in the tool. Poor project management results in shitty Jira use. Great project management will shine even if using postit notes stuck to devs laptops every day."
I mean, if for a few years you lead people to believe that you’re the type of person who poops in the pool, and then you finally do it one day, who’s gonna invite you over to their house?

You can make the argument that it sucks that so much infrastructure is built upon orgs that have their own first amendment rights and I’d agree with that, but just that, no one is forced to associate with you. If a group of companies are refusing your cash, might want to reevaluate your viewpoints respective to the broader community.

To give a more explicit prediction.

I expect to see more 'corporate' languages like Go and Hack. Languages designed explicitly for the 'massive software company' use case, with a focus on simplicity and readability.

We might even see languages targeted at company sizes. Like here is the A language for getting prototypes out the door and here is language B which is the one you port to after your company becomes a unicorn and wants to grow the engineering team size to the 1000s.

Understanding Image Contrast Adjustment Algorithms
Looks like a nice project, but the website is too hard to read.
I think this argument works better as a question about decentralization: those three companies didn’t “scrub the entire Internet” — they simply chose not to provide free hosting and promotion for it on their own servers. If the authors had registered plandemic.com they’d be easy to find, but then they’d have to pay out of pocket for hosting.

I think this is something a lot of us older people forget: if you experienced the internet back when there were thousands of hosting companies and people ran their own servers for everything, this seems weird since there was always another place for anyone substantially less odious than stormfr*nt. After the 2010s, though, an awful lot of people got out of that way of thinking and there are now entire businesses which only have Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/YouTube accounts. I find these “victims” detestable but it definitely doesn’t make me happy that Facebook, Google, and Apple have a huge degree of control over what the average internet user sees even if there are tons of sites which they don’t control.

Sadly (and I'm not being ironic), the law disagrees. See my above comment about changing the law.
GUIs should effectively be finite state machines and people expect them to operate that way. People understand latency and get used to it; it happened on mainframes and other terminal applications and people memorize the state machine and can tab and type through an interface at high throughput anyway.
