You seem to have looked at Google specifically (mention of Docs). Google has substantial engineering presence in several european countries. Just a few cities/countries off the top of my head in no specific order: Munich, Zürich, London, Dublin, Warsaw. There's others, IIRC a bit on Stockholm for example, but I think those I named after among the larger presences. Anyway. Not just Germany.

There's also SRE, which has a slightly different twang on how we spend our time and then interview makeup.

For what it's worth, I'm not a computer science grad at all and I'm doing just fine at Google. Got hired as a senior manager, though, so YMMV.

Not trying to convince you of anything, just trying to be helpful. :)
This would be a great feature, it would definitely help users grow and become more self-aware.

I would welcome it.
> You seem to be making an argument to nationalise these companies

That's what I'm afraid is going to end up happening. When I was a kid, Reagan would occasionally "pre-empt" normal prime-time TV to talk about whatever the hell was on his mind. It drove me crazy: he would suddenly be on every station and there was nothing else to watch. I asked my parents why he was allowed to do that and they'd say, "TV operates on public airwaves and the government owns the public airwaves". Well, as annoying as Reagan pre-empting the Cosby Show was back then, the "public airwaves" argument was used to justify a whole heck of a lot of worse government overreach that I really, really don't want to see come to the internet.
I honestly think it's some of the worst UI on planet Earth. Every time I use one of these it's impossible to do what I want to do.

Try signing out of one icloud account on a Mac laptop and signing into a different one. You need to open several apps, dig through various random disconnected menu options, click past several warnings, and wait a long long time sometimes (often with no visual feedback that the task you started is done).

And I feel like most things in Apple ecosystem are like this.

iOS doesn't even expose a file system to the users, so so so many of my family members on iOS have no idea where to go once they download a document or audio file or video file to then play it back. The worst part about this is that there is a Files app, but you can't save files you download to any folder that app exposes. Why? Who knows??

Sorry for getting heated, but I've just had such frustrating experiences with the platform. Maybe someone can give some examples of the amazing UX they have then I'll see more clearly why people like it. My instant reaction is to remember all my wasted time trying to do simple tasks with it
hmmm, this is your desktop or a server?
> Knew the writing was on the wall for this company the moment I had to dig into a drop down chevron to find the download button for a file shared with me on Dropbox.

Why is this such a huge problem for you? Seems super minor?
Drive by issues are noise? So if I say "library X fails with this input" and don't follow up/triage/commit code, then this is a waste of time?

I strongly disagree. Follow-up and collaboration are great, but someone taking the time to write a decent bug report is also valuable.
> I would've expected the crowd here to be more educated or open minded.

Have you ever considered that describing your own preconceived ideas as "open minded", and discounting those who disagree with them out of hand, is in fact the opposite of open minded?
Great, another cycling geek!

I just looked this up and on DA both 9 and 10 speed lasted 8 years, so not faster than the move to 12 speed (btw it is pretty much confirmed that both Ultegra and DA will move to 12 speed this year, somewhat different to the usual cycle which had a 1-2 year delay for Ultegra to adopt DA tech).

Regarding Campagnolo, it's unfortunate that they have the reputation of being expensive. I think one reason for this is that they hardly do any OEM, so you have to build your own bike, which often ends up more expensive. In particular if you otherwise buy bikes when they are on sale. The other reason is because the groups don't really compare with the Shimano and SRAM groups, i.e. the equivalent to Ultegra is probably Potenza not Chorus, and to DA and RED it's probably Record (this isn't helped by the fact that Campa now only does SR in electronic).

I've recently after many years riding shimano moved back to campa (I got an awesome deal on a SR-EPS equipped bike) and I have to say it is an awesome groupset. From all I have read, especially if you want mechanical Campa super-record and record is what to get.

Regarding SRAM AXS, I want to like them, but I've heard about way to many quality control problems (Force AXS front derailleur chainsuck has been widely reported) , Red Etap was much better.

That said, I don't think any groupset will make you substantially faster.
> Now i pretty much just shrug and say "What are you going to do, you're conquered."

Why do you use the 'conquered' language?

Very few things are static under a long enough time horizon. In politics and public opinion, things can change quite quickly. So, if you want to prioritize an issue, go for it.
That's certainly one perspective, the other is that in the consumer segment churn is high but also the are a tremendous amount of people.

Dropbox had a head start but over time other companies like Google where able to build out competing services and because the total population of potential consumers continued to increase, a lead today, doesn't guarantee a lead tomorrow.

The other side of is that what made Dropbox amazing at the beginning, the ability to sync files with direct access on your computer, is actually now a detriment. Many users don't want the files locally, download speeds have increased dramatically (I have 1Gbps fiber at my apartment), so having the files locally is actually annoying and takes up diskspace, so you have a bit of a late mover advantage, especially if the population of available consumers continues to increase.

In this case it isn't simply X couldn't compete with big Tech, the landscape did shift a bit.

It's also important to note that Dropbox is still a very successful company, and if they aren't chasing revenue growth and profit they still provide a great service to consumers. But their growth chasing leads to a degraded user experience, which also pushes people away from their product and has them explore alternatives to really see if it's an apples to apples comparison. And that's where the "cloud" first storage solutions today present a better platform.

What really slows this down is the cost of switching for older customers that have a tremendous amount of data already in Dropbox and have it integrated into their workflows so it really isn't a fun project to migrate off.

This is also where the price increases create revenue growth because customers aren't willing to go through the pain of migration, but you aren't delivering more value to them, instead you are playing off of the cost switching to drive revenue growth and that begins a downward trajectory.
> Pay the Dane the Danegeld when he asks.

For context, from Wikipedia:

> "Dane-geld" is a poem by British writer Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). It relates to the unwisdom of paying "Danegeld", or what is nowadays called blackmail and protection money. The most famous lines are "once you have paid him the Danegeld/ You never get rid of the Dane."

I don't follow why you reference blackmail or protection money. Can you explain?

It also creates this expectation that your life is a performance for other people or that you produce content for other people to digest to get your dopamine rewards. There's going to be a strange generation coming down the pipeline.
Why would you need SATA when you have SD, also USB3 and Gigabit Ethernet? I have no problem booting from the SD then accessing data on my SATA drives using a USB-attached controller, also plan to get a NAS.

Sure, it would be great to have connectors for everything and support for every cool standard but these guys have to give up all what is non-essential to keep it small, cheap and possible to engineer by a small team.
Mushrooms growing in humans is nothing special at all: It is called Mycosis or Candidiasis, and there are (generally) antifungal drugs.

This seemed unlikely since S10 is maybe the most mainstream flagship phone but it appears that Samsung does indeed make it painful to take control of your device: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-syst...

Many manufactures make it easy to unlock and root your device (shout-out oneplus), but many others do try to make you brick it if you try doing anything out of the ordinary. Like the HMD rebrands Nokia, Sharp, etc.
> The main difference is that RISC-V is a lot more modular, so it's going to be difficult to distribute binaries for but more flexible if you're doing something completely vertical. Also a lot of the modules have bundle relatively common/easy instructions with niche/difficult ones. E.g. multiply with divide.

I don't think it'll be worse than ARM and it's decidedly better than x86.

There are SEVEN major revisions of ARMv8. Then there's v8-R, v8-M, and additional 32-bit variants of each instruction set in addition to both ARMv7 and ARMv6 which also still ship billions of chips per year. Oh, and under pressure from companies, ARM also allows custom instructions now. Those aren't just theoretical either -- Apple at least added a ton of custom matrix instructions to the M1.

For x86, supporting only semi-recent processors (2006 Core or greater) leaves you still checking for support for: SSE3, SSE4, SSE4.1, SSE4a, SSE4.2, SSE5, AVX, AVX2, AVX512, XOP, AES, SHA, TBM, ABM, BMI1, BMI2, F16C, ADX, CLMUL, FMA3, FMA4, LWP, SMX, TSX, RdRand, MPX, SGX, SME, and TME. That's 29 instruction sets and not all of them have use on both Intel and AMD chips.

RISC-V seems at least that cohesive. If you're shipping a general purpose CPU, you'll always have mul/div, compression, fusion (not actually instructions), privilege, single precision, double precision, bit manipulation, and probably a few others.

Where you'll run into mul/div missing or no floats are microcontrollers or "Larabee" style GPU cores. In all of those cases, you'll be coding to a very specific core, so that won't really matter.

Thankfully, we've had ways to specify and/or check these kinds of things for decades.
I see a lot of parallels between what happened at Boeing and now at Intel. It’s a cultural phenomenon and I am not convinced Pat is going to shake things up.

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he literally fired most, if not all, of management consulting types. He changed the culture overnight. I don’t see that happening at Intel (but I hope I am wrong).
There are two things that can be true at the same time:

- Amazon was within its legal and ethical rights to do this, and ought to win any court cases, etc.

- The aggregate situation of de-platforming of individuals and entire platforms from the Internet by a few unilateral decisions by corporations reveals a power structure we ought to not want (it has always been there, but now it's undeniably shown itself willing and able to exercise its power when needed) since it will inevitably be abused given incentives and the lack of checks and balances on it.
I don't understand why a person who couldn't bother to copy and paste their code would bother clicking this link and read 3 paragraphs of passive-aggressive text on why they're wrong.

What problem does this solve that "please post your code" doesn't?
The way I encounter it, identity politics is a divisive ideology, or a political tool, used to make judgements about groups of people based on external characteristics such as skin color, gender and sexual orientation, with little to no regard for the actual circumstances these people came from or currently live in.

For example, cis-white-males are often demonized, binned as oppressors. If you take a step back and think about it, a lot of cis-white-males were born in US states with huge meth and fentanyl addiction problems. Raised in trailer parks, in poverty, with maybe one or both parents missing and no access to education. If you paint poverty and access to education as being purely a race problem, and white males as always being oppressors, you are leaving people behind. We can't afford to do that. We collectively pay the price, as a society, somewhere down the road.

With regards to "live and let live", many prominent advocates of identity politics are very hostile people. They do not welcome discussion, they do not want your input. Either you have the same opinion as them, or you are an alt-right, a bad person. The correct opinion has been decided once and for all by social justice academics, and either you're onboard, or you're necessarily ignorant and wrong. Kind of like George W Bush said "you're either with us, or against us".
Yes and I'm saying we should be thinking of unions on a broader basis. Not as a single company union, but as the union of American workers, and directly pushing for legislation. =]
Yes, that is a scenario I'm talking about. Splintered internet where conspiracy theories will be common.
That's a plausible interpretation, but the notion that "important=anything that matters for longer than 1 day" still makes no sense to me. And I also disagree that it's a priori important to have a record of important things. It's nearly tautological, and even if it weren't, there are some strong embedded assumptions about how to build software that at best need close examination.
"In 1985, Mr. Yin, then 21, was the first to isolate the hepatitis A virus, and in 2001, he founded Sinovac Biotech ... From 2002 to 2011, Mr. Yin paid $77,000 to a senior Chinese drug regulator, Yin Hongzhang, and his wife to approve his vaccines, according to a 2018 filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission, citing court documents."

A Introduction to Mobile App Testing for New Products
The mill has been in development for... 18 ~years now! Soon they will be able to hire engineers who are actually younger than the company. I wonder if there has ever been a tech company that survived so long without bringing a product to market. Duke Nukem Forever took ~14 years.
Sure, you're right.

I guess we'd need C to have a special syntax to compile in something like a vtable

add_f32_f32(x, y) calls add(MAGIC_NO, x, y)

and add has a big switch on MAGIC_NO for selecting implementation...

You'd need a keyword for this, "multi int add(int a, int b) ..."

That’s not the same at all. GM wasn’t losing anything in their original NKLA deal. While Visa would have spent billions.
No one deserves nice software. If it is extra work for devs to build software for your platform, you should pay appropriately. Apple users tend to do so, so all is well, when they eventually devolve into being like the majority of the population (freewheelers who whine and moan when apps hampered by Apple's horrible anti-developer practices don't work well) then devs will stop developing for them
For users, downvotes are low cost influence without participation or accountability, and for forum owners, it is a feature to reward the long tail of the least valuable users, who together make up a huge cohort, and it keeps that cohort engaged.

Good of this site to be earnest, but I'd argue there is no meaningful "why," for downvotes, it's just a way to pander to the worst part of peoples nature.
Respectfully, you should consider that the media is probably lying to you in regards to 'what it is that trumps election fraud believers, believe'

Most of the believers I've talked to believe 'the rules were changed in the middle of the game' wrt mail-in voting, and such. These believers also believe that foreign interference distorted the results. (Both parties agree to this, I think)

We will now be in a perverse situation where both sides will think the election results are fraudulent, if their side lost. I think it's an unsolvable problem. Because reform would necessarily be a partisan endeavor, without legitimacy in that party.

We're unrepresentable now, best I can tell.
I miss the slashdot Insightful/Informative/Funny/etc dropdown that was required to vote.

It would add a lot of value to the downvote button and the "I disagree" option could silently not apply any modifier to prevent groupthink.
Highly recommend The Corporation by Joel Bakan.

It digs into how corporations are essentially psychopaths — they put profit first, and if they appear to be good or generous, it's only because the money it takes to cultivate that image is going to be a net benefit to them.
> I have not heard of beer companies, kitchen equipment suppliers, map makers or PoS terminal providers demand that the bar ban a particular customer on threat of refusing to service them, either, so that proposal seems rather more realistic than the one we are actually talking about here.

It absolutely happens in beer companies, kitchen equipment suppliers, etc.

Ex: I doubt you would find a high end distiller advertising that they're sold, especially without a distribution deal, in Mick's Souse Hole, North Etobicoke.

There is all kinds of heavily established strata and bartering lines in all manner of business. That's nothing new at all.

If a given business or client establishes itself as an unworthy partner, no deals are made or existing deals are broken—at least to the limits of the moral stand on either side. In all industries.

It just happens, some businesses, or industries in general, care less to establish moral boundaries than others. But in any industry: "bad for business" is "bad for business"; and "bad for business" is avoided.

I suppose my point beyond talking about beer companies is: this is nothing unique to Twitter et al. Twitter [et al] is just highly visible.

I don't think Jim from Etobicoke, Canada, one eye closed and slobbering, has a case for arguing he should be represented on the Pernod label just because he wants to be. I doubt most people do. But most people don't care what Jim or Pernod do.
No, the purpose is to give people time to do what they think best. For them to no longer have the demands of the organization paramount. That is, to miss things.
By breaking down the old system. When an innovative competitor enters the field and grabs a large amount of "market share" by meeting the demands of the users (students, parents, etc..) then the education system will crumble.

Problem is - the education system is no longer about learning. It's about institutional recognition. Any innovation for learning will be dismissed unless it caters to institutional recognition.
Being new means you might not know you need to do that, though.
I don't understand.
of course it's a problem that DNS costs money, and of course it was a big problem than SSL cost money.
That's a little costly, but I guess development of a board like that isn't cheap.
Presumably if it's a "decent bug report", needing additional feedback etc is less likely, and I assume GP is more talking about bug reports that are not really usable without further information. (Although even if you are careful at providing information, you can easily hit cases where more information is needed)
I think this illustrates my point though. Nix doesn't necessarily solve the overarching issue of having vendored dependencies. And it doesn't seem like it's being worked on either. There might be work on this on a pr ecosystem basis, but this isn't necessarily a goal of nixos itself.

The intention here isn't to talk shit about nix though. I just wonder why people present it as being the solution to this issue.
So the comment stating the reason for downvoting is meant for the person whose post was downvoted, even though everyone can see it. Yes, as you said, I guess it will be a type of opportunity to self-triage - in a public way. It will also (hopefully) make the person who downvotes pause and think about the reason for downvoting.

Edit: typo/words
Apple doesn't deserve to have such careful and detail-oriented FOSS developers like Jason, developing for their platform. He is genuinely wasting time in order to work around Apple's developer-unfriendly platform. Not that I should be telling devs where they should spend their time... but I feel like so much effort is being devoted to fix Apple's issues.

> When I'm debugging these issues, I'll often times spend a few hours in IDA Pro (Apple doesn't provide debug symbols, unlike Microsoft, which makes this process even more miserable than it already is), and after identifying the issue I'll often have several ideas for "clever" workarounds. Which of them are acceptable for the App Store? Usually none!

Really, why we need to have very talented people spending their time in dealing with this, instead of contributing actual value on other parts of the project? Apple should be losing devs in favor of other better platforms, not the other way around. With less and worse products at their disposal, Apple users would then be well aware that they are choosing a platform that alienates developers.
I don't understand why you think cutting some jobs means they can't possibly also need to hire for other jobs?
You're missing the point. Comments here need to add something to the conversation for the rest of us.

Your emotions do not benefit anyone/anything.

If you're looking for a place to vent your emotions, other social media sites are a better fit - reddit, twitter, facebook, etc...
Misanthrope is sometimes the correct word for what I'm talking about.

But have an upvote.
I'm not totally sure what to think, but aren't many violent acts planned on Facebook and Twitter? Wasn't the insurrection at the capitol? Yet, the big boys aren't paying the price, it's the competitor that suddenly got popular that wasn't able to be influenced by politicos.
Different search results = censoring? I'm genuinely curious as to the crux of the point here.

This is a bad comparison for many reasons, but if three newspapers have one headline and the fourth does not, that's not censorship. Wouldn't the free market fans suggest just using another service?
Meh, we're talking a single-digit increase in price to go from the previous-lowest tier to the current-lowest 2TB tier. I only use a tiny fraction of it, but it's still a good value.

The family thing makes sense - I don't have a family I would share with so it's never come up - though couldn't you just sign into the same account on multiple devices?
Agreed, it's been a really nice service. Plus, downloading is already taken care of for me with sync, which is where Dropbox is really positioned for best use.

If I'm downloading something from a Dropbox, that's a pretty good sign I'm not going to be working with that person much, or it's a one-off task.

Yes; SATA host controller is an extra if the SoC don't come with one, connectors can't be cheap either. Too expensive as a nice-to-have item.
