Perhaps it's uncouth to comment after only listening to a minute or two, but I have to agree with what seems to be the premise of the episode that licences can and often are comically overcomplicated and, to put it politely, unjust and unenforceable.

For example, I recently had a conversation with a few colleagues about a feature in IntelliJ after noticing that it's absent from the Community Edition. I was then invited to apply for the Open Source licence given my contributions to our organisation's open source projects, but looking at the terms, our projects would have to be under particular open source licences, be updated regularly, and not be monetised in any way, nor pay our contributors in any way (which I assume includes bug bounties). And you could only use the software to develop non-monetised open source projects, and you must re-apply for this licence annually.

And the same goes with their Student Licence. You must re-apply for it annually, but it's even more restrictive: you may only use it for purely educational or strictly personal projects.

And so it's entirely possible that you'd have three versions of IntelliJ on your computer: 1) an educational version of Ultimate for your coursework, 2) an open source version of Ultimate for your open source projects, and 3) the Community Edition for any and all other projects. I can't be the only one who thinks this is absurd. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate companies who provide free licences to students and open source projects and so on, and that's a good thing. It's just that the incredibly restrictive terms of those licences are, as stated previously, unjust and unenforceable; And in my own case has dissuaded me from purchasing Ultimate because all this faffing around with licences is tedious and tiresome, so why go through all the bother when the Community Edition is right there with no additional strings attached?
I've been using teddit.net because reddit on mobile gas become unusable. Someone here pointed me to it.
For one it's an extremely capital intensive operation for most folks. In fact buying a property is usually many times their net worth. Which means now one is not allowed to make mistakes, because losing means not only going to zero, but going underwater many times over what the cashflow can cover.

This argument falls apart once a property is a fraction of someone's net worth, but it's rarely the case.
Because it enables an equivalence between functions and objects. Not a technical one that's hidden deep in the implementation, but a practical one that's apparent to library authors and users.

If you want to make any object `foo` callable with first-class application syntax, i.e. `foo(bar)`, you add an `apply` method to that `foo`. You don't need to bother extending Function, you don't need to come up with a method name and call that. When you call `foo()`, you don't know if `foo` is a function or an object, and you don't care. You can find out easily with a half decent editor of course, but the point is, you're free to mix objects and functions as you wish, the language does not get in your way.

And for all that it provides, it's a complete non-issue in terms of learning curve. It's a basic language feature that you learn once and are never impeded by thereafter.

2025: Coinbase successful transition from React Native to Native apps.

Seriously haven't we seen how this play-out way too many times already?

There is absolutely no incentive for Apple and Google to make sure ReactNative controlled by Facebook is the way to develop apps for their platforms. Till that is true, its absolutely nuts for any company other than facebook to develop their apps in ReactNative.

Mobile is especially bad lately since Firefox Mobile has gone walled-garden and you can no longer install a user agent switcher to get a true desktop page. The fact the "view desktop version" option on mobile browsers still tells the server you're on a mobile device is utterly perverse.

Anyone got experience with both RN and Flutter willing to chime in on how they compare?

So far I've been fairly satisfied with Flutter, however there are some glaring performance issues (though it sounds like these will be addressed in due course).
Hmm, I don't think assigning values to variables in PostScript with "def" is solving the same problem or even a related problem as the A register. Instead, it solves the same problem that assigning values to variables in Forth solves.

As I understand it, the A register, introduced in the MuP21, solved some problems having to do with on-die fanout, fanin, and path length that limited the performance of the Novix NC4016 and the Harris RTX 2000. It also allows you to do operations like memset and memcpy without having to fetch and store the pointers to RAM (at fixed addresses!) for every byte/word read or written, which improves performance dramatically, makes the code a lot more readable (especially with its incrementing addressing modes), and makes the code more compact.

None of these are problems that exist in the PostScript world.

You can't use the A register in the MuP21 or F18A as a local variable, because it isn't local; it's shared with whatever subroutines you call and whatever subroutine called you. Moreover, the A register is the only way to read and write memory, so they can't avoid overwriting it if they need to read or write memory.

[I've programmed in PostScript, and I've written a little Forth, but I've never programmed any of the chips mentioned above.]
> The turning radius is completely irrelevant if you want to evade a countermeasure. All that matters is how far you are from where the countermeasure is going. That's measured in Gs

The problem here (for the hypersonic missile) is that the countermeasure is mirroring this: it's interested where the hypersonic missile is going to be X seconds from now. And a high velocity target shrinks that circle of possibilities - very substantially, as I've noted, inversely proportionately to the square of velocity.

As for Gs, today we have missiles like Python 5 than have no problem pulling something like 40 Gs. One reason for that is that they're optimized for maneuvering, not for extreme velocities. Just getting to and maintaining extremely high velocity is difficult enough so it seems unlikely that the incoming hypersonic vehicle would be capable of both, especially in terminal flight regime for which it isn't optimized.

Also, one obvious problem with your reasoning is that your hypersonic missile isn't likely to be equipped or capable of evading whatever your target is throwing at it. An antimissile is going to be small, most likely much smaller than your hypersonic missile. That alone will make the antimissile hard to detect. Furthermore, assuming that your hypersonic missile will be hypersonic in the terminal phase, issues of aerodynamic heating etc. will quite likely make it difficult for any kind of sensor to operate. Especially the need to separate the antimissile from the background of the target won't make it any easier. So "wanting to evade a countermeasure" is nice but perhaps not as feasible as one might think. We're generally not even doing it today when it's easier. Not quite sure why it should work for a vehicle for which it will be substantially harder.
It's not Caterpillar doing this, though. It's Bullitt Group. They are the same people behind the Kodak phone. Thier whole business model basically revolves around licensing big brands that you have heard of, and making mobile devices with that brand stamped on it.
If they'd wanted you to do that, they would have named the files something like "CMakeLists.txt".
China, Iran, and NK may be authoritarian regimes, but the US is still the only nation in the world to have used nuclear weapons in an act of war, a move which killed probably 100,000 civilians.
I've heard that thrown around before and... that doesn't make any sense. How would it be harder? If the police were to "disappear somebody", how would it be any more difficult to simply not release information about it? In fact, it seems like it'd be easier to "disappear" certain people, because they could claim they had nothing to do with it because they report others just fine.
Given the stories I've heard about the rigor of UChicago's econometrics program, I'm somewhat surprised they would put out a working paper extrapolating what is effectively a single data point to make broader inferences about the efficacy of WFH practices. To be fair they qualify their findings in terms of the firm's employees, but given the tone of the title and conclusion focusing on WFH as a general trend it still seems to me that they are drawing from a sample size of n=1 instead of n=10000. The paper doesn't specify which Asian country is being studied but anecdotally I have several relatives/friends working in East Asian corporations who can attest to the pervasiveness of "managerial piety" culture even when working remotely, so I would also think they'd want to replicate the study across similar companies in other parts of the world to account for potentially confounding cultural factors in assessing WFH productivity
Best: Catch up, or go home. There's always more to learn, and if you don't apply yourself, you will get steam-rollered and you won't even know why.

Worst: The more confident someone is, the more likely they are to be full crap. But - just because you don't like someone, or they're full of crap doesn't mean their wrong and/or you can't learn from them anyway.

Two years from now, it will be 'why did we decide to move on from React as it was not working out' blog post

It is like the circle of life with native vs semi-native (which react is), and just html apps.

Teams build a fast new version, looks great as it is new code, without much baggage, and over time it gets bloated and people complain that it takes too much to debug/develop on it.

Some people in a internal team write a new demo/prototype in a new tech, some director/vp buys in, and the circle of life continuous, in the new tech, and a new blog post is made again.

At Spotify, we had few interactions of these, back and forth... like clockwork.

Ps. If you are junior engineer reading this, don't pay too much attention of these type of blog posts, as they usually are just PR for internal teams, so someone gets a promotion.
Just work on the tech stack that you like working on, and exites you the most.

Thanks, this has crossed my mind. I guess the only way to know is to check network traffic. I update all my devices within a week of every release though, and run macOS/iOS. I don't think it's the cause, but you never know.

I think reCAPTCHA just flat out breaks any form on macOS Safari. I've had a few work, so I'm guessing they changed something and it requires special configuration by the website using reCAPTCHA for macOS Safari to work (but apparently no one does it). I can't even login to Gumroad for example. I know macOS market share is small, but damn, this has to be costing businesses money.

Okay I finally researched this. It looks like it's because 'strict-dynamic' isn't supported. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184031.

I can't imagine how many people have switched to Firefox/Chrome because of this issue. You basically can't register for anything, since reCAPTCHA is used practically everywhere.
Russia did it in Crimea by barely firing a shot.

Everyone took note.

Taiwan may be 'grabbed' with little violence, and China can promise 'certain freedoms' (i.e fake democracy) so that feckless leaders around the world can 'save face' and say 'oh, we don't like it, but it's not that bad, please keep buying our crap, so we can buy your crap'.

China takes the 'long view' - long enough that it supercedes any populist cycle. Over 30 years of 'soft occupation' and incremental erosion of rights, thery'll be nothing left of Taiwan.

Actually this ignores the fact that bitcoin uses ASICs now, and every ASIC built for bitcoin hashing is probably already hashing.

Semiconductor production can't be scaled up instantly, so 51% attacks require seizure of assets.

Even if the USA purchased every single CPU, GPU, FPGA, and ASIC made in the next month, it's unlikely they will have more than 10% of the network or so.

To seize the majority of the hashpower, they'd have to seize Chinese miners, which require either US-China cooperation or a world war.
I noticed that as well, people are just not afraid of posting embarrassing content that you actually relate to. It's awesome to see just normal people doing normal stuff and millions of people cheering and commenting in an encouraging way.
> And whatever happened to Apple who refused to work with FBI on the San Bernardino shooter but here is only happy to comply in a much less interesting case?

For a bunch of years Apple was slowly moving in a direction where they couldn't offer encryption keys to law enforcement because only customers had access to encryption keys. I'm not sure if it was publicly announced or just internally planned, but they were planning to do it for iCloud backups, too, but never went through with it. Reporting says it was in cooperation with the FBI.

Right. The idea that Jira has been replaced made me laugh.

There's probably a crowd of people that want to move on to the next issue tracker flavour and that's fine but I've got work to do that isn't tool shuffling.

I'll use the one that integrates with so many of our systems and, though flawed, does a great job.
None of those! The real answer is Nativescript -- https://nativescript.org

It doesn't get the buzz, and the ecosystem is somewhat old (it's surprisingly common to run into a repo that hasn't been touched in a year) but it's the superior platform to React Native and you get none of the capriciousness of the React ecosystem (if anything the Nativescript community might need a jolt). Nativescript is incredibly productive and you can bring along frameworks that do their best to move the work to compile time (like Svelte).

I think the best options form a spectrum like this:

(PWA)-------(NativeScript/React Native)------(Flutter)------(Kotlin/Alternative iOS environments)--------(Objective-C/Swifth/Java "fully native")

If you choose essentially anything on the right side of flutter, performance will be relatively good out of the gate, and anything to the left (including flutter) and you have to be a little careful.

I think Flutter is actually the worst of both worlds because I'm heavily biased against Dart after using it, but it is obviously backed by a behemoth, and the render-every-pixel model makes it insanely portable. If you want to write-once-run-everywhere (generally a bad idea, but if it works for you who cares), then flutter is the best by a longshot.
It's not the mask that does harm. It's the temptation by authorities to make blanket mandates that can easily encroach too far in an effort to cover as many scenarios as possible for legal purposes. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's just in their best interests to make it as easy as possible to interpret and enforce. It's also not at all cut-and-dried what a "public space" is, so that's a bitter argument that will be had. There is a lot of public space that is wide-open and sparsely travelled. Does this need a mandatory mask mandate? If we were all perfectly rational this would not be that difficult, but we're not.

Given current and recent events in the U.S., it's also probably best not to give the police even more reason to be able to stop and question folks for what is a very minor infraction. With something like mask mandates, it's a highly visible signal that must be obeyed by every single person, so it's prone to enforcement abuse. In general, it's just not worth it to get flu numbers down, particularly when we weren't really scared as a society about the flu before now. As always, if you're sick stay home or even wear a mask out. Laws to enforce this? Not so much.
What I don't understand is how you think world traveler gives any credit or support for your stance. First the stronger point is made through evidence and the weaker point is made through reputation. Second of all, a "world traveler" is not really much of a reputable status that lends any additional weight to your thesis.

Why throw money at intel? Throw it at TSMC and in an emergency you’ll be able to nationalize domestic production. TSMC has more to lose if they displease America and there’s a non trivial concern about supply chains sourced outside the US for highly secure use by banks and government agencies. XRaying AI tech for incoming boards and stuff being a thing is indicative of the problem. With the most sensitive data any variance can indicate a back door that would be nearly impossible to detect. This isn’t science fiction, and there are more nation states and groups involved than just a single government. By making an American sourced vertical production capability we can essentially “license” a more plausibly secure and auditable by your own courts and investigative forces for supply chain security. They shouldn’t prop up inefficient domestic manufacturers when they can in source the capital assets which is 99% of the value in a supply chain. The ability to execute the supply chain is likely embedded in the production facilities and in a legit emergency can be cut off from a foreign owner at any time by a stroke of the pen, and in an emergency it would be with congressional support. It’s a brilliantly smart move and a refreshing shift to actual geopolitical chess.
Hey, I'm on board with wiping out Microsoft as the next guy, but you might be giving them too much crap here.

I believe OP actually meant the development platform is very stable and keeps you productive and helps you deliver products, which is what startups should be about. Which from what I've seen is mostly true especially compared to something like JS frameworks.

That said, I still believe the ridiculous levels of vendor lock-in are not worth it.
You misunderstand me, I didn't say a U.S. president was less likely to kill us all.
I disagree. An application platform establishes UI conventions. It's not "wasted productivity" to build software so that it participates in the conventions that users expect. That empowers users: they can do more with your app, by bringing their knowledge from other apps.

The web erodes UI conventions. Find, bookmarks, back button, copy and paste, undo, select all, etc. are worse on the web, compared to 5 or 10 years ago. And those are just basic functionality, table stakes for any app. Web apps are making us all less computer literate: they do less, and so we expect less from our software. That's the wrong direction!
Eg ~ 200 million in 2012 is not a lot of arms.

Except that it’s nothing like that at all. Nations are very different entities than individuals.

For one thing, they have a longer lifespan. The comparison of a young US stealing IP from an industrialized Britain to a young PRC stealing IP from an industrialized US makes much more sense. The argument being that “stealing IP” is what nations do to industrialize all the time.
