Isn't this true for any service? We're just trusting that the bitwarden/server image or bitwarden.com won't do the same?

Also this is only a risk if you use the provided Web vault. If you use the desktop, mobile or browser extension clients, it would require both Bitwarden LLC and dani garcia to conspire against you as the server doesn't control code those clients run and the API only provides it data in encrypted format.

Can you go into detail on "modern"?

The problem with project management systems is that you have four important levers:

* configurability (enforcing rules, custom workflows, triggers)

* usability of the UI (speed, simplicity)

* multi-user (including consistency between users)

* scale (number of projects, users, tickets)

You can't have all those at the same time. If you want it to be very configurable, you have to choose whether to prioritise scale (Jira), or usability (Trello, Asana), or drop the multi-user (Excel, Google Sheets).

In my opinion, the problem with most project management systems is the problem with project management management itself - trying to do too many complicated things at the same time. It's pretty easy to manage even a fairly large programme of well-scoped projects on just about any software.

Ok, if we're getting pedantic about it, adopting as a synonym for supporting is a misnomer or more specifically an attempt to conceal the conflict of wanting to support something, but being unwilling to become intimately involved with it. It takes away from the genuine act of adoption. So I'll stand behind not using the term.

Okay, thank you, I'll work on this.
Nice list, that's pretty much what I've been doing.

Especially limiting "news" (I would also emphasize their "quality" with quotes..) and social media. I feel so much better since I quit twitter, for some reason it feels just like a giant pit of awfulness.

The only two things I'd add or say differently is that a) this helps (or at least helped me) not to be more productive, but just in general happier. Being happier brought more energy which in turn means just doing more things, or just other things. The other thing (b) is, with the exception of social media which I outright quit, I'm not strict with limiting or rather going over limit with some of the negative things on your list. Do I feel like eating cake after lunch and having my third coffee after dinner? OK, as long as it doesn't become an everyday habit, I just do it..
We also use toilet papers, do you plan not to use that as well?

You presume a lot about me sir. I'm happy to engage in your ideas, but play the ball not the man.

I'm actually sympathetic to your views, and feel strongly that immigrants should respect and participate in the host culture as much as possible. That requires effort on both sides, of course, and the blame doesn't always lie with the host Western culture as is often unfairly characterised.

My only point was that I don't see that maintaining a link to your heritage and cultural/ethnic distinctiveness as _necessarily_ incompatible with assimilating and participating fully into the host nation and enriching it in the process. This isn't an argument for neoliberal multiculturalism by the way, which I view as mostly a policy disaster, that hurts the working classes and immigrants the most.
I don't believe that there are many people who can afford a phone and monthly service but a $1 app is out of reach. They exist, but not in numbers high enough to explain the gap between the two platforms.

> Humanity seems to have progressively improved in the treatment of the underclass (e.g., slavery, poverty)

Yeah, I don't buy that. At least not in this simplified form of the "moral progress narrative". While it is true that many modern societies at least nominally try to treat the underclass well, this is by no means a global undertaking, nor is it always successful. Slavery and poverty are alive and well.

Human nature hasn't changed - we still have a phenomenal capacity for ignoring the suffering of others, especially when that suffering is conveniently far away. We have an equally great capacity for actively tolerating, or even directly causing this suffering, when it benefits us.

"A society is measured by how it treats its weakest members", but this measure is (if at all) only weakly related with "civilisational progress". Many of the great civilisations of the past were absolutely barbaric, many of the advanced nations of the modern world continue to be - or at times, fall back into such a pattern.

In the West, the combination of Christian ethics and Enlightenment ideals seem, on the whole, to have brought localised improvements for the underclass. But there are sufficient areas in which Western countries continue to ignore suffering, and multiple examples of "social moral progress" rapidly degrading into stark, ruthless, violence against the weak.
Agreed OpenProject is impressive. I used it for myself for a time. Then switched back to OrgMode. But if I come to manage a team with several projects I would clearly use that.

Not that I disagree especially with the examples you have provided. Maybe I'm not talking about an 'organized' boycott in that sense. I'm more talking about individual purchasing decisions.

107 Drug Patents that are Expiring between 2023 to 2025
This is probably made up, but if real, the CTO should have fired himself. Some of the shittest practices I've ever heard of. Why would you use a real persistent database for your test scripts, whether it's a production instance or not? Spin up a lightweight mock server on the fly and autogenerate fake credentials. Heck, one of the test cases should be that you can't just delete the whole thing. Why on earth would you store credentials in an onboarding guide?

Anyway, for a real story, back in 2002 Sears before they totally tanked tried to open a home decor business called The Great Indoors. I was one of their first retail employees hired to work the stock room at a new opening. First day on the job, a week before the place was going to open, someone spends about 30 seconds showing me how to operate some forklift-like crate carrier called a wave or something like that, and I'm supposed to move some stuff to another floor via freight elevator. I accidentally accelerate when trying to slow down and promptly destroy the elevator.

Store manager was irate and promptly spends 10 minutes screaming at me in front of everyone and then sends me home permanently. You know what? 21 year-old me internalized that shit and believed I was actually at fault, but in retrospect, that place was bullshit and both Sears and The Great Indoors deserved the fate of eventually going out of business. The ensuring two decades have been up and down, but I'm in a great place now. I hope, if this really happened, that this junior dev landed all right, too. Life is way too short to stick with a toxic workplace, and when you don't have a family to feed and still have the freedom to just walk away, you absolutely should.

No reasonable person would be a living martyr for someone else's sensibilities. The world you're asking for is one where few would want to involve themselves with others for fear of stepping on someone else's toes. While one can be understanding, one is not obliged carry out this "responsibility" of living for others or with others' beliefs in mind.
Well the relative impact isn't that high, though I was pretty shocked to learn how much plastic is contained in tampons in other countries. My napkin math says that a whole life of using these full-plastics tampons equals about 1000 miles of driving an average-mpg car (11000 tampons, 10g of plastic per tampon, 25mpg as the national average efficiency).

So car-sharing one month for a 20 mile commute has about the same impact as never using disposable tampons for the whole life.

I don't think those things are necessarily mistakes. Maybe JNI was but most languages took the same approach of exposing interpreter APIs instead of providing FFIs to C.

AOT compilation of a dynamic language like Java is hard to do without losing performance. You can AOT Java now with the same compiler used also for JITC (Graal) and you lose, I think, about 20% of the peak performance unless you do C++ style profile collection and double compilation. It's not clear that lack of AOT compilation held Java back any - although SubstrateVM/native-image are getting popular at the moment, that's taking place in the context of hype around "serverless functions". If you aren't using those (or writing small CLI apps, or doing other unusual things) the benefit is less clear.

With respect to proper value types, trying to do that in 1.0 would have just killed the projects. Biting off too much. Look at the complexity of Valhalla - only a small part of it comes from backwards compatibility. Most of it is trying to get the benefits of generics over value types via specialisation without the horrible consequences suffered by other languages. It's not about rectifying past errors but rather, doing something new.

I don't think so. Before: "You got a const value /here/ because you called /this/ function which is declared to yield a constant /there/.". Now: "You got a const value /here/ because you called /this/ function with /that/ (huge) template argument we have deduced for you and by a process that is essentially a complex algorithm we think that the return value is const." The function is not going to be constrained because the author wants it to be very flexible.
Yes that's true, extremists in any political faction share a lot of common characteristics, and de-legitimising their opponents is step one. Deplatforming is a significant concern for sure. That doesn't excuse it anyone though. What disappoints me, both of us probably, are those that argue vehemently that it's wrong when one group does it but give it a pass when it's done by their political allies on any side.

In my experience, new C++ programmers struggle with build and packaging systems a lot more than they do the arcane error messages. Compile times for established codebases also cause frustration for newcomers.

Bad error messages are also a frustration, but it's not the worst part. In those cases, they can look for examples, read guideline documents (books, really), and play around on compiler explorer to get familiar with idioms.
Toilet paper is barbaric and uncivilized. We can and absolutely should discontinue it everywhere. If you got poop on your arm, you wouldn't smear it off with dry paper. You'd wash with soap and warm water. Bidet all the way.
In C++ struct and class are the same except for default visibility rules. You could drop either keyword from the language and it wouldn't make any practical difference outside of C compatibility.

In GCed languages the default seems to be that every object is referred to by pointer. Java took the "ugly" step of adding in primitive types so you could calculate 1 + 1 without causing dozens of cache misses. Struct types take this hack a step further. It generally makes the definition of the languages virtual machine a lot uglier, for example most jvm instructions operate on primitive types.

The reality is, there is no evidence girls miss significant school because of lack of period care.

For example - doi: 10.1086/669121 (Just like there's no evidence children miss significant schooling because of intestinal worms)

This is part of the insidious gender based donating the NGO industry participates in.

There's the extra irony often these many programs just end up hurting girls. Because you can't do programs actually helping where it's important because you might also help boys at the same time, so everyone loses except woke Twitter.

The end of the day these NGO's biggest contribution is living in country buying beer, the money going to locals who then can afford to send their kids to school. This is actually a really big deal, but it'd be nice for once to help directly.

Penny Stocks Are Booming, Which Is Good News for Swindlers
As far as I know, that is correct. However, apart from real estate being built, there also seems to be some heavy investment in infrastructure and they're trying to attract investors. I've also heard that there are plans to grow the tourism sector. The elite has also grown in numbers and there seems to be a growing middle class (mostly Fang diaspora going back) with connections to the regime.

I don't know what the real situation is and what they plan to do with the new wealth, but if I'm to speculate, the elite wants to develop the country and transform the economy so that they can keep a certain standard of living, because the oil reserves were never thought to last that long (however, I've heard of new possible deposits being found, not sure if there's any truth to that).
I know how Googlers justify it, I used to work there. But it's bizarre. Their codebase is highly modular but it's as if they forget all about modules, interfaces and so on the moment they talk about releasing stuff as open source.

I see. But to that, I can counter: described like this, it won't scale past a small group of acquaintances. The same reasoning can be applied to a verbal agreement - I can pay you for "that thing we both know", and it'll work the same... until one of us changes their mind and declares the transaction invalid. And the arguments we may have will look completely unsubstantiated to any third party we'd like to involve in it.

A lot of formalism around real laws and real money exist to make word of mouth scale. It's why people pay money accepted by everyone in their society, why they enter written contracts - of the type they can expect the court of law to treat as valid, if a dispute escalates to the point of involving third parties.

Can't shake the feeling it's just the next chapter in the story of cryptocurrencies rediscovering the hard way the last 10 000 years of social development.
