As for the possibly valid points, I'm showcasing the platform, where CTASK comes as an utility.
Payments are done in stablecoins, DAI for example and CTASK is there for additional mechanisms, which client isn't required to use.

Off-topic, but I really enjoy products whose packaging I can dispose of well because it's all paper and/or metal. I buy Celestial Seasonings tea because there's no foil, and I can compost the tea bags. But there are still plenty of products that I only find in plastic, like frozen fish. I mainly shop at Wal-Mart because I'm poor. Does anyone have any tips for someone on a low budget?
Oh wow I love it! Love the simplicity of installation — it's definitely a trend that's going up lately, but I'm surprised to see that, since Stripe made it mainstream back in the previous decade, it's... not very very common to have products that are installable with a code embed

1) Can you talk a bit more (to a non-technical person) about how the code embed works

2) As a suggestion, I think you'd do well in no/low-code communities or products. Webflow is a tool I use so I believe it'd be a success there, since the average Webflow user doesn't know how to code advanced stuff, but they know Webflow has a 'code embed' where they can slap a few lines (i.e. Fastcomments' snippet) and stuff works
I don't know if there is a unified playbook, but there are random blog posts. One that comes to mind (disclosure: I worked on the system, mostly after the blog entry) is https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/courier-dropbox-migratio... (and perhaps https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/how-we-migrated-dropbox-...)

I suppose the problem with an easy go-to playbook is if that were easy to pick one solution for every problem, gRPC would have likely picked it by default (I can attest the team, and the external contributors, are top notch, having worked alongside them). Unfortunately some problems, at scale, need to be answered depending on architecture with the holistic system in mind, and are not just gRPC issues. Truth is large scale systems are hard to build and operate. Perhaps that is why you get help from experienced individuals and consultants.

I do agree some documentation/tooling is lacking and could be improved to guide folks through the process.

There’s a saying in strongly typed languages “make illegal states unrepresentable”.

Java doesn’t let you get all the way there but it’s better than nothing.

When you look at strongly typed languages with a good type system, often when you compile it just works.

Besides hello world, I’ve never written program beyond a few lines that has just worked in a dynamic language.

...I do like clojure and the repl workflow and how everything is data. Haven’t done much besides play with it but have a friend who writes clojure professionally on a large codebase and their feedback is most of the errors they now see wouldn’t exist with a type system.

I think it would be best to rename this submission to "Tusky (Mastodon app) suspended from Google Play Store" because people who do not use Mastodon have no context for what Tusky is.
I think those 2 words should not be in one title. Recipe for hot mess. Choose One and stick to it. I am not sure what kind of mentality to mix both. There are not compatible positions. Cost of context switching is not cheap.
While they may have enough money year on year - as someone who has been donating yearly for the past 10 years I prefer that it stays ad free.

It is a fantastic resource and while is a need for increased transparency, more fiscal responsibility etc. Is there an alternative resource out there that provides as much value to the world? I'd be happy to switch and start supporting something else if so.

It would be rather sad to see donations drop off and the project shut down... I know this would likely never happen with the amount of value it offers at this stage but still...

Freelancer, programmer, working with US clients. My invoices are getting paid within couple of days, sometimes a week.

I used to be really patient about payment time and it led me to the situation where I had 2 clients who still owe me $20k and $30k respectively, years after job completion. Thank you, lesson learned very well, I'm not doing this anymore. Right now I'm either using escrow for new clients or handling source code only after payment.
Not you are presenting a false dichotomy. I'm not speaking for or against this change. I'm speaking against the people who are butt hurt by this change because it's not even master as in slave but master as in boot record, using this one data point to justify their position.

It's the same as those people who find the one doctor or nurse who thinks that covid-19 is just a flu or that one engineer who concludes that the twin towers couldn't possibly have fallen because of fire alone.
Which is odd... Users of the Play store and App store are a disjoint set. Very few users will switch from Android to iOS or back because in-app purchases are cheaper. Developers are generally forced to support both stores.

There wouldn't seem to be any strong reason for both stores to pick identical fee structures - they aren't really in competition.
I don’t think so. It’s not that no true Scotsmen are idiots, it’s just that the idiots are not representative. Maybe 10% of Scotsmen are idiots. The other 90% are fine.

Vaccines have two primary goals. If a vaccine only does one it's a huge downgrade but still valuable.

> NFTs are actively doing harm to the environment

I think there is a few misunderstanding here that are worth clarifying. Proof-of-Work blockchains are actively harming the environment due to mining activities. How much energy miners spend on the network is mostly a function of the crypto currency price, not the number of transaction.

Secondly, NFTs can easily be minted on Proof-of-Stake blockchains that do not rely on miners and have little impact on the environment (and have very low gas fees, so that would also be beneficial for buyers and sellers).

My point is: Proof-of-Work is the actual environmental disaster, not NFTs.

(Note: I think that NFTs are an absurd and stupid concept that is completely overhyped)
The more money it takes the more it will end up relying upon large donors and the more will kowtow to the interests of those donors.

So, yes, I'd rather they were extemely conservative about software and management. Running PHP and having a non visual editor is less of a big deal than having to tweak donor Wikipedia pages to remove awkward facts to keep the $$$ flowing and salaries paid.

What's also not being said here is that ~99% of apps on Google Play don't make money this way either.

Due to a combination of Android user's reluctance to spend money on apps at all and the rampant piracy that Android's open model makes trivially easy, most developers only way to make money is through in-app advertising, which this change obviously makes no difference to.

Google Play is mostly a pyramid scheme. Developer's can only make money from showing ads and at the same time can only get downloads if they place ads on other people's apps. And Google just happens to own all the mobile ad companies.

This 15% cut ends up "costing" Google virtually nothing.

And as for Google "helping developers build sustainable businesses", the only times they've ever reached out to me were to offer me the opportunity to have someone help me spend thousands of dollars a month on mobile ads. Never, for example, to actually take down all the scam apps that use my app's name, icon and screenshots.
For the full consumer router experience you should run it inside qemu-system-mips. Then it should also match up performance wise.

Of course it wouldn't be complete without hacking up your own, custom Linux system calls[1], or hacking up SquashFS to be big-endian for no reason and storing your own data structures in the compressor options[2].

Whilst I agree that they should pay their taxes, let's not get confused here: no matter how much the budget is increased, education will not be properly funded because it's not a political priority. Most countries with better education systems don't really invest _that much_ more than the USA, but it's the attitude towards education that counts.
Some of it is just framing. You can replace a lot of what doctors do with regular tech and plain old organization. You could have done it for decades. Problem is regulations put a lot of limitations on who can perform what service. You can get the best well-informed advice from wherever, but you still need to go to a doctor for your prescription.

I could very well see a situation where "AI" is what finally gets regulators to loosen up, but what actually gets implemented will be traditional stuff that works. It may take a "surgery robot" to allow greater freedom in training people to perform surgeries.

Won't be surprised if in 20 years self driving cars will indeed come to dominate. But most "AI" will get dropped and roads will be retrofitted with something dead simple that assists cars in navigating (I believe that idea goes back to 50s or 60s too).
Yes that is produced mostly by Natural gas. During 2020 the mix was ~99.2% Naturalgas and 0.8% wind. Producing hydrogren from naturalgas puts the CO2 footprint at around the same as coal since per kwh hydrogen you need to input double the amount of energy.

The majority of the points tend to be based on the facts that the firmware is shit, isn't updated for long, and visibility into the firmware and it's releases is murky and opaque.

So what if you wipe out the firmware and go for openwrt? how does balancing for compatibility with openwrt and consumer router hardware rank on this scale?
Java Flight Recorder is also meant for being enabled in production and according to Oracle, typically has a very small footprint (in the order of 1-2% overhead).

It even integrates with IntelliJ[1] so you can have your fancy charts as you run your tests or debug your application.

There are many scales on which society measure man: money, look, status , job etc.

It is possible man is average in all of them. Just simple plain average man.

Now what he can do is invent new scale and try to dominate that scale from start and still end being average after some time.

Basically he was born average and will die average.

Now man needs to decide what he going to do about it. Whine everyday till he die or enjoy whatever this is till it lasts.
Unconscious bias may well exist and have a meaningful impact on life.

But unconscious bias testing has been shown not to test anything in a consistent manner, being largely unreproducible, and unconscious bias training has been shown not to impact anything much or even consistently impact test results.

Such things appear to be pseudoscience and bordering on a scam.

If you say "payable within 30 days" it is equally OK to pay now or in 30 days.

In terms of cash-flow it is obviously better for the debtor to pay later rather than sooner, especially e.g. if the invoice relates to goods or services bought for resale. So in general you should plan for payments to come in after 30 days.

If that's a problem then by all means do change your terms to try to speed things up.

I am doubtful. If the managers are writing the performance reviews, they are not in a supporting function at all. They are the arbiters of the subordinate's success in the company and that is a vertical relationship.
Thats awesome man.
Spring (Boot) is the biggest.

After that, in terms of being standard and widely-used, Java EE, now known as Jakarta EE. It has a comparable level of magic to Spring Boot; maybe some of it is done better, some of it isn't.

DropWizard is still going.

I suspect that a larger proportion of Java programmers are working on headless data-munging backend apps than, say, Ruby or Node programmers. Those kinds of apps often either don't need a framework at all, or need some more specialist framework. Hence, Rails-esque frameworks are less of a priority for the Java community as a whole. Which is a bit of a shame, because it would be great to have a really strong alternative to Spring.

>It is rarely possible to start a business only with your own money that you saved.

People outside of the upper middle class strata usually don't have the opportunity to save significantly anyways after CoL is included in the US, and usually require a loan to start a business (or at least in every case of non-upper middle class business founder I've worked for).

Regular people would personally carry a relatively lower tax burden than a flat tax would require for them actually, and a progressive corporate tax in the US would likely result in them being more likely to be successful once they start their business.

Given that many pro-business states in the US have progressive income taxes to actually encourage reinvestments into small businesses (Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, etc..) and appear to be succeeding quite well in that regard, is there any specific reason you think a progressive income tax system that reduces the burden on regular people relative to a flat tax is a significant blocker for regular people to create businesses?

Looking at your description of the problem, it almost seems like you should be advocating for a *more* progressive tax system where burden is placed further up the chain with regular people maintaining even less of a burden.

I disagree about 'Still doing much technical work' being a problem. The author incorrectly infers that a manager writing code is going to take away developers' freedom. It's the opposite.

The way I manage developers is I design the system into small projects with separate concerns and which can be easily integrated together. With the participation of the team, we discuss and iterate over the design of interfaces between those components/projects.

Then when it comes time to implement, I assign 'ownership' of each project to a developer (with consultation with them). Then with the exception of a few basic guidelines, they can implement it however they want. We just do regular peer reviews of each other's work. We tolerate code style variations between different projects but each project must be internally consistent.

So far all our projects never needed more than 2 people to implement (each one having 1 developer as the project owner). At the end, we integrate maybe 10 different projects into the final working product (which gets its own repo).

This approach to development is extremely fast and robust (very few bugs which are easily caught and fixed). We don't even need special tools or programming languages. We just use plain JavaScript; never had the need to use TypeScript, the code is very easy to follow so it's not a problem.

All you need is to have small projects with clear separation of concerns. The trick is to not invent new abstractions; all technical abstractions should come from the specification and be understood by non-technical people. Also all components/projects should have simple interfaces between each other (only basic types that can easily be serialized into a JSON string). Different projects/components should never pass 'live instances' to each other; that would indicate poor separation of concerns.
It's what we have, according to the designers of the various vaccines. Unless you are suggesting that all things are true unless proven otherwise, in which case I'd ask you to go back and check some books on elementary logic.

There is some work after the fact to measure the effect on Covid transmission of the vaccines, but even that isn't very promising.

It's odd when "stopping people dying" is "a huge downgrade". I suspect what you mean is that the vaccines in their current form will not get us out of the restrictions we are currently living under, which is true (and incredibly predicable).
I'm struggling to understand your point here.

Are you saying that there aren't enough jobs to go around? because that's patently not the case.

We need more engineers, to do that we need to train them. Instead of overfishing the standard places, we need to look elsewhere. If you want a purely business case, it cheaper to hire women, they are more loyal and don't ask for payrises[1]. not only that training in the UK is effectively free.

I think it's simpler and more accurate to say that 3D XPoint memory can't live up to its initial promise while stuck behind a PCIe link and block storage abstraction. The DIMM version does a much better job of showing off the performance and endurance advantages over flash, but Intel was two years late delivering that. But either way, the fact that it's also unprofitable and can't keep the fab busy is a serious problem with no clear solution unless Intel can come up with a breakthrough in scaling 3DXP density.

So how does this work? Does whoever buys that NFT now own the copyright to that image?
Ostensibly, you are correct. However, an increased problem of app curation is that, all too often, perfectly innocent apps can get caught in the cross-fire of bad automation.

The fact that most people get their apps from one of two app stores (Google Play, App Store) makes this situation somewhat worse for people that effectively develop apps for the platform in their spare time. There are alternatives, like F-Droid...but, it's still not the same as mainstream distribution.
>You're begging for a way to enforce capitalism while taking away Apple and Google's right to practice capitalism.

Capitalism and it's benefits isn't necessarily self-sustaining and enforcing in the same way that total democracy can still have a party participating democratically to end it.

If you allow every anticompetitive market practice depending on the sector you quickly loose the benefit of open competition that one might expect from capitalism.

> What you're advocating for helps no one aside from you (and people in your profession) and hurts consumers.

If people in his profession include the countless companies developing stuff for these platforms then obviously yeah and that's not a bad thing.
If Google and apple can kill competition if they enter a market on their platform then that reduces competition.
If they can use their platform to prevent competition in a segment of it where they are established then that stops competition.
Competition serves the consumer but is not inherent.
The high fees that google can ask due to their market dominance get passed on to the consumer and thus do not benefit the consumer.
The market dominance is something they can retain and enforce with minimal competition due to a mix of their clout and anticompetitive practices.
