They do use it internally and a lot of teams do complain about it. I hope there is some real work going on to improve some parts of it (how about shipping patches rather than an entire 11gb binary every version). I think a lot of devs also pin certain issues on Xcode that are actually issues with the Swift compiler (slow or missing autocomplete, unhelpful error messages or slow compilation times for example) ObjC is far far quicker to compile.
I think you overthink the whole thing. I’ve eaten a lot of meals in some of those countries (I live in East-Asia) and I’ve never felt I had to follow such protocol, to the extent they exists at all. The situation may be different in formal setting in China if the internet is to be trusted but besides it really seems like thinking too much after reading a few blogposts. Especially as foreigners we are not bound to every little protocolar details and it would even be strange to be a try-harder.
To top it off, if you put a donation link in your about box when you release your totally free software in their App Store, they will reject it in review. Free apps are not allowed to include a donation link to their own website.

It's to the point where they won't even let people enrich their ecosystem for free unless you dance to their tune. It's very, very hard to take anything other than a dim view of such despicable behavior.
Chopping and cutting is a skill you need to get the hang of. I'm nowhere near a pro level of doing this, but I've become quite fast at it.

It sounds a bit dorky, but it really helps to look up on YouTube how a pro cuts an onion for example. You'll realise that most people are cutting them wrong, and that the "correct" way speeds up the cutting process massively.
> Are you telling me that dedicated apple devs have the greatest dev enviroment and experience there is?

The have some approximation of the best environment given Apple's priorities, where customer experience, security and privacy, and the bottom line are considered significantly more important the developer experience.
I am saying that assuming or accepting you have no power or less power than others is a sure way to create that reality. Are there limits. Sure. But there are countless examples of people that created more than society would have “allowed”.

Put another way. Ignore inequality as it effects you, assume you can overcome it. But acknowledge its existence with respect to others and do everything in your power to create equality.
That's exactly what I'm saying - except more like the model is saying there's a 90% chance that a randomly chosen player at this level would make the move.
I watched a CNN segment pressuring AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, Roku, etc. to remove Newsmax and OANN from their broadcasting.

Politically you have folks on one side of the spectrum saying "your speech is disagreeable/fake/dangerous but you can say it"

Other side says "your speech is disagreeable/fake/dangerous and you should not be allowed to say it"

When avenues for open dialogue and discourse are no longer available, more violence ensues. I am surprised that otherwise well intentioned people appear to be missing this insight.

Problem is though, anecdotal evidence does not correct for various things, for example regression to the mean.
The improvement may purely coincidental with the change of diet, or the chosen diet.

It does make them a victim if content on the other side is not demonetized at the same rate for the same arbitrary reasons. When that happens, you wind up with well-funded speech that continues on one side, and the other side fades away (which is what partisan individuals would like to see happen to their opposition, but is unhealthy for society).

HR is neither your friend nor it is some evil secret police that’s here to root out the saboteurs in your company...

HR is an agent between you and the company. It’s there to run the negotiations between what the company wants and what you want. If you don’t understand that, you won’t be able to use HR to your benefit.

HR is there for you to ask stuff. You want a shower on your floor? Ask them. You want a course in React? Ask them. You can get plenty of things for you to work well if you know how to play HR.
Well, stars whose light has never even reached us are likely out of our light hypercone, so they might not exist in the scientific sense (i.e. Their existence or non-existence is completely unprovable and has no consequences, even in principle).
A reverse proxy waits for a request from another server and responds to the calling server. You can think of a reverse proxy as the "deep backend" in a web stack.

One of the first and most powerful reverse proxies was mod_perl running under httpd. Typically 5 or 6 mod_perl instances can handle requests from 300 normal httpd children.

So when somebody says "forward proxy" they usually mean "not a reverse proxy."

A better title I think would be "Dark mode for Hacker News" That doesn't put personal opinion/spin into the title.
This is what religious beliefs are essentially: imaginary friends.

With a very complex backstory, of course, but imaginary nevertheless.

The purpose of your brain is to avoid death. When it learns that death is inevitable, it falls into a "bad state". The human brain has built-in protections against "bad states", known as defense mechanisms... which are essentially your brain lying to you so you can feel better. The reason these defense mechanisms exist is because people that had them were more likely to survive and reproduce instead of becoming depressed and losing interest in surviving and reproducing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_mechanism

The belief in an immortal soul and an afterlife in heaven is the byproduct of such lies. It's your brain telling you: "don't worry bro, just keep surviving and reproducing and everything will be fine, I promise". It's not true, but as an evolutionary strategy it has worked well so far.

PS: The belief we will survive an imminent cascading ecological collapse without us doing anything is also a delusion created by defense mechanisms.

Yeah its 2021. There's no excuse for shipping software you know crashes every few hours of normal use. Or lags so badly you can't type sometimes. I doubt XCode in its current form would make it through Apple's own app store review process. Fix your software or replace your staff with people who can.

I choose to abandon programming for Apple's devices entirely rather than put up with xcode.
Buy Nothing is specifically distinct from freecycle, it includes some relatively strict rules, "hyperlocal" groups, and moderators. In my experience, I am confident that this sort of behavior would not be tolerated, assuming it was noticed.

I haven't used my local freecycle group much, because it was stuck on the Yahoo groups platform for so long, but that group seemed much more free-for-all, and not connected to an organized, nationwide project like BN is.
This isn't absolutely literal. Witch-hunt was a word used to describe McCarthyism, for example. And Communists certainly existed and some of them were working for Stalin. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_espionage_in_the_United...).
We use Freecycle a bit in Ireland.

I get the sense that the people getting rid of the stuff are as happy to have it taken off their hands and not taking up space in the house.

As you are getting it for free it's implied that it is your responsibility to collect it and that it is as is, like no guarantees about quality etc.

It would be bad form if someone put something up on donedeal.ie or adverts.ie but at the same time I couldn't be bothered doing that so I don't mind too much.

The stuff we've given I usually get the sense that the person has a need for it and is really happy to get it and it's the same when I take something.

I guess it just takes one person to ruin things, but maybe they could have banned that person for abuse.

Make it much easier on yourself: Micro fuck you money. 6 months of living expenses saved up, ready to go in an emergency or to say fuck you. Even if you were to get assistance from the state where you live, you want to be able to say fuck you to the state as well.

Along with being able to minimize the lifestyle your probably accustomed to when getting a decent wage (this is another hurdle even if you have micro fuck you money), mondays will never feel dreadful again.

You're constructing a giant mountain to climb if you require a side hustle or actual fuck you money (1 mio.+). 99,999% of people will not achieve that, look at how much people save for retirement. Micro fuck you money is very achievable though.
Social media platforms are by their design not neutral at all. They are deciding which users get megaphones and which doesn't, and they like to amplify certain voices over other to increase engagement metrics.
Julian Jaynes' book is of course relevant. [1]

Further to that, I've read on several occasions about lone survivors of disasters who report encountering a person who wasn't there who helped them to survive.

The most common I've encountered is the stereotypical tale of "mountain madness" [2] where an injured or lost climber receives help or guidance from an imaginary being (who presumably seemed quite real to them during their escape from peril).

Literature, fiction and cinema are all full of similar tales (not all in mountain scenarios) and so I expect that this "ability" is part of being human.

There would be an evolutionary advantage to be had if the brain was able to access some "hidden partition" containing recovery instructions during times of extreme stress.

Ignoring ideology and human rights and focusing solely on practical effects there's 2 sides:

1. people who are already radicalized should have some place to talk so we can know what they are talking about and so they are more likely to talk instead of acting

2. people who can be radicalized - are, because there's places where they can encounter such ideas

I've never seen any scientific study estimating which effect is more important. From ideological POV I'm in favor of more free speech when in doubt.

> In Chrome and Firefox, you can thwart attempts to auto fill by setting the input type equal to “search” and autocomplete to “off”.

No, you can't. Chrome has disregarded this since at least 2014 [1]. They collected use cases for this in 2016 [2] but did nothing about it [3]

Oh, wait. The author actually writes this further down on the page (emphasis mine): "Up until version 7, Safari used to respect the value of the autocomplete attribute, so setting it to “off” would work. Most modern browsers now choose to ignore the value of autocomplete, so this solution no longer works."

But yeah. Safari's the bad guy.

So when the manager asks, hey do this in 70% of the time, you have reference to live recent data that it’s impossible.

All the data in the world won’t sway a manager - and his manager, and his manager - if they need a scapegoat. This is something engineers only figure out when it’s too late.
Not quite - the origin of "You're holding it wrong" was a response to someone who was quite literally trying to illustrate the cellular signal attenuation issue by pressing down with their fingers on the gap between the two antennas.

I believe the parent was saying that the performance of xcode varies based on the project. This is true - breaking projects up into more modular setups has long optimized project build speeds. The quality you get out of your tools is in many cases based on how you use them.

"You're holding it wrong" would apply if you were deliberately using the tools in a sub-optimal way to try to prove a point.

Our company set message retention on Teams to 4 days, citing the GDPR as the reason :S

So many people now avoid it. When I read this I guess it may have been a good decision, apart from the fact that people move to uncontrolled platform like Slack and WhatsApp.

Our laws do protect us somewhat from all this "innovation" coming in from the US, just now a company had to pay 10.4 million euros for putting cams on employees[0].

Also, most of WhatsApp's plans are not allowed here.

Why in the fuck is sharing some knowledge of what I know about science that leads to people believing there is nothing outside the observable universe downvoted?

I worked for NBB as an Android Engineer about 5 years ago. While refactoring the analytics / tracking services (5 different providers in the app), I noticed that customers credit card data was leaking to analytics providers. I informed my PO about this, but he decided that this wouldn't be worth the effort fixing. I left the next day.
Indeed!

I for one appreciate this property of email. The recipient doesn't neeed to be at their desk; their equipment doesn't have to be switched on; and they don't have to be awake at the same time as me.

I also prefer to type considered, thought-through messages (and I am unhappy that various messaging clients have hijacked email, so that my correspondents reply to me in a format that suggests they mistook my email for a text message).

Also, I have no messaging client on my laptop; and my fingers are too blunt to accurately type more than a few characters using the virtual keyboard on my mobile.
I’ve noticed similar issues, it’s especially a problem with SwiftUI as nesting closures often feels natural there, my brand new M1 mini will still give me the “expression too complex” error on larger SwiftUI components.

Not at all. Shannon's work is incredibly profound, and deals with distortion of analog signals, channel capacity under different constraints, and many other things. He was very much aware and discussing repeated sequences in the 1952 class in which Huffman constructed his code and proved it is optimal. (According to lore, Shannon said "hey, Fano and I have this Shannon-Fano code, which we know is close but not optimal. Improve on it and you can skip the final")

Shannon's original paper, "A mathematical theory of communication" is very readable (especially discrete sources and channels; you need some calculus for the continuous sources and channel stuff), and yet touches on many things and has many insights. At least as late as 2000, one very-well-published prof at the uni I was attending told me that whenever he wants to break out to a new direction, he rereads it 5-10 times and realizes another thing that Shannon considered trivial and that was yet unexplored.

Also, there's basically no repeated sequences in large image data. JPEG, H264 and all their friends are all about compressible approximations that are still close enough, and which rarely if ever have repeated data.
I find it’s more like a kitchen where you start sautéing some onions on the hob, and behind you, the inactive dishwasher spontaneously belches water onto the floor, which you have to deal with now. While you’re disconnecting the water supply, your onions are burning, but just as you get back to them, the power goes out, and you have to go investigate. You come back an hour later, and resume cooking, when somebody knocks on the door, wanting to know how many squirrels can fit in a party balloon. You respond, go back to your onions, but the pan has inexplicably broken in two while you had your back turned. You get a new pan, and then you realise you are out of onions, and it’s 2am, and you go to bed, feeling you’ve accomplished nothing.

Most context switching isn’t voluntary, and isn’t controllable.

It was What Do You Care What Other People Think?.

He had been experimenting with what he could do while counting, and found he couldn't count while talking, but could count while reading. John Tukey didn't believe him, and thought it should be the other way around. It turned out Tukey and Feynman counted completely differently, Tukey by visualising and Feynman using internal speech, and so Tukey could count while talking, but not while reading. So, not the same person doing both methods.
Currently saving up for getting my license. :)

I understand why it's easier to let the autopilot control the trim instead of messing with the primary controls.

What feels weird is the fact that it's using this whole monster of a mechanism in order to provide the pilot with an artifical stick force.

I get it, the control column is supposed to require more pull force the closer to Vs you get. It's not what real planes do, but it's a safety mechanism, alright. But instead of using a simple servo that would actuate the control column and wrestle with the pilot a little, what they're doing is they're actually trimming the plane nose-heavy so that actual real forces wrestle with the pilot.

Instead of a servo pulling on the control column slightly to enhance the natural pitch-up moment of an overspeeding aircraft they trim the plane nose-up and again, let the pilot push against an aerodynamic-yet-artificial force.
Surely the first example in the OP is one of these clearcut situations (I don’t think there’s any law in California obliging people to report passive aggression) and the point is that HR ignored the allegations until they came from the accused’s manager.

Surely there are grey areas but to consider them on their moral merits, HR would need to be in an impartial position which this article claims they are not.

Bodybuilders are at their weakest after they loose all that fat for competition. And they dehydrate themselves as a bonus. They sometimes even faint due to that.

It is not healthy what they do around competition. It is not workable advice for general population either, because acting like that all the time is pretty much definition of eating disorder.
So maybe Teams has a higher barrier of entry. I don't think that it's worse because of this particular reason.
