Wow, thank you for the correction, the movie made it sound like he was gone.

The ending to the console wars movie was basically "Sega failed, Nintendo was runner up, and Sony won", but didn't cover the almost-made-it Dreamcast comeback -- best selling launch of all time at that point. They almost made it, and it fixed pretty much everything the Saturn did wrong.

Hey by the way, your book looks cool, reminds me of "The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers" by John Szczepaniak
I'm guessing he means if you work somewhere that isn't "we only hire the best, and we'll fire you if you're not" like Netflix, the better employees realize they can work half as much for the same pay and just enjoy life more.

These employees are optimizing for free time, not salary. As someone who thinks big tech pays ridiculously more than is necessary for a comfortable lifestyle, if I could work 1 day a week for 1/5 the pay I would (I understand why working so little would likely not make sense, I am just fantasizing).

The US government was hacking Google by tapping cables between its data centers with direct access to Google accounts. The US government was paying tech companies for data on their customers. The US government had Verizon turn over phone records on millions of their customers daily. The US government used other countries spy agencies to spy on US citizens.

lol wrong. The validators can coordinate to make a transaction invalid on that blockchain. They wont though because of theyll lose a lot of confidence in their network, and users can exit their funds across the bridge very quickly.
Lack of expressiveness improves readability: in a team setting not everyone 'expresses' themselves in easy-to-parse ways. Code is written once, but read many, many times.

I used to work on a team that maintained a large Perl codebase: Perl can be both expressive and terse which decreases readability, especially at times when a colleague felt like expressing their cleverness/individuality in a 'brilliant' one-liner using obscure language features. When the clever code is buggy, you'd have to fix the edge-cases in an even more 'cleverer' way, or unroll it into a readable function.

That's exactly my point. I got COVID. It was a mild case and I survived it with no issues. My case did feel like a common cold, as did so many others. I also know someone who died of COVID. That's the sneaky thing. It's almost as if the virus plays eeny, meeny, miny, moe - a bunch of us get a sore throat, and one person gets absolutely ravaged. It's very tempting not to put your life on hold when there's a really good chance you'll beat it. Of course, when vast numbers think that way, the virus spreads widely and many die.

As to your "millions of people are not a big relative number" point - at the peak of the pandemic in the USA, COVID became the leading cause of death.[0] That seems fairly major in a relative sense.

What a trite response.

The question was do they do a email if your job is delayed or late for whatever reason?

Not, hey why don't they email us all right now about the issue.

And no, it's not on me to monitor every little thing I rely on. Do you monitor kernel updates? I bet you don't. Besides that monitoring and logging for any provided service is exactly how one is supposed to monitor said external services so asking about monitoring options and being told, look buddy it's your job to monitor for this is just fucking rude.
Nouns that describe persons with social genders have matching grammatical genders usually. And you have to distinguish when talking about both at once obviously.

> And then people usually get very huffy about which non-sentient nouns “share” “their” “gender”.

Seems rare to me.
I endorse what megameter and tvieweg both said.

I'll add that you are not even middle-aged, and people do all kinds of crazy things even after they are middle-aged. They move to Mexico and run surfboard shops. They go to Antarctica and drive trucks around a frozen camp. You can start a new career! "Well into your 30s" isn't all that old, speaking as someone who definitely is.

If you could find the resources, and at the risk of sounding cliche, it may be worth talking to someone. It can really help to have a trained therapist in your corner. You're facing real challenges, and you sound like you're also feeling a lot of despair and trapped feelings. Processing those feelings well is perhaps the most important part of navigating your sticky situation.
That blockchain is controlled by 21 validators of which Binance itself is many.

They wont and dont block the transaction though. The bridges to other blockchains are very fast, and hacker would be prudent to move their funds immediately to a blockchain with greater security.
Why? You're saying it was pushed. But actually the maintainers agreed. Further, the maintainers overlapped. Instead of acknowledging that it wasn't pushed because the maintainers overlapped you make up "anti-competitive" behaviour.

I work for a company where every year there is a mandatory refresher on anti competition laws / behaviour. The suggestion that this is done for malicious purposes is highly offensive, yet so easily stated. This without actually going into a lengthy and thorough explanation. I think you're failing to understand how offensive you're being towards these developers. So easily using very harsh words, so easily dismissing what anyone else says, plus what the developers said. Yet not actually proving any good proof for your statements.
So I wonder if someone watches the block chains for these kinds of bugs then swoop in when it happens.

SK suppliers maintaly supply memory and displays to those Chinese makers and they are already produced locally in China. Samsung OLED mobile display may be the exception to this.
Sounds good but does this scale in the long term? Looks like a resource placing firm.

Not sure about japan, but in India it is expected that on average as an employee you get a 10 to 15% hike year on year primarily due to inflation pressures.

How would this company be able to afford this if they are both reducing prices for customers while simultaneously increasing base salaries. Wouldn't the employees leave after 2 or 3 years as the hikes would not be possible after sometime?
FWIW, iOS has the “scan documents” feature built-in. You can trigger it from Notes, and then save the resulting PDF wherever you want.

Half-Renovated Houses
> "Why should we believe that supporters of "free speech" are advocating for anything other than the legal right to force people to publish their own speech?"

It's kind of amusing to see the progressives automatically assume anybody defending free speech is part of the right; they're so caught up in the "you're either with us or against us" mentality they haven't figured out that liberals and the center are taking them up on the latter.

Yes, the conservatives want to force publication of speech they support and the progressives want to suppress publication of speech they disfavor; six of one, half a dozen of the other and I have no love for either side. Personally, I'd like to see the FCC's fairness doctrine re-instated and the social media giants broken up and heavily regulated so that both conservative and progressive extremism is blunted (and hopefully Fox News killed for good).

> "Show me a free speech advocate who is arguing for the repeal of FOSTA/SESTA, the repeal of the anti-Communist provisions in US naturalization law, the repeal of gag rules preventing pediatricians giving their honest medical opinion or obligations for gynecologists to say things they don't believe, or relevant to this thread, the various anti-BDS legislation that's been passed recently, and then we'll talk."

I'm a pro-free speech, anti-progressive liberal and all of the things you list are, in my view, both contrary to the First Amendment protections and violate the principles of freedom of speech. But we were talking about private corporations, who aren't subject to the First Amendment, so I fail to see the relevance of your comment.
One camp says "it is their store, take it or leave it, they already have competitors - if the value proposition wasn't there, it would fail - and if they screw up it will fail" and I'm in this camp.

I would have more sympathy for that position if having one of two types of smartphone were not now assumed by so many organisations and if people buying those phones hadn't dramatically reduced the alternative devices those people might otherwise have bought.

Like an essential utility, a smartphone has become a practical necessity for many people to be able to live a normal life. When you have attracted so much influence, you are no longer just another business, and again like an essential utility, regulation is appropriate for the protection of the little guy.

Apple as a company does not owe anything to anyone. Can they discontinue the app store tomorrow if they wanted? Sure they can, it is their store and platform.

Sure, but if they did that, Apple's influence would rapidly diminish and the problem I described would solve itself as well.

If the value proposition isn't there, it will fail on its own.

Well, that's really the big question here, isn't it? Does Apple's App Store actually provide good value for what it costs, or is it being artificially supported through other means? One of those is just good business. The other is a potential violation of competition law in many places.
Well if you don't know who the person who got the money is then there's not much a judge can do.
"(and as far as I can tell no one does, unless we have time travelers about)"

The CDC and others have looked at at long term effects, which is where I got those estimates. If you mean it's too early to tell because not enough time has gone by, then we could say the same about the vaccine (which is somewhat valid for both sides, but lacking evidence relegates it more to a belief than fact-based opinion).

The comment wasn't minimizing the impact. They were simply stating that people didn't take it as seriously as they would have if covid was more impactful. I think this is a valid point. We see similar issues in attitudes for other infections that can carry longterm impact (even lack of education and protective measures around stuff like hepatitis and HIV).
As someone who straddles Japan and the USA, Apple's system sucks. To update my MUFG Japanese bank app I need to be on the Apple Japanese App store. To update my Capital One app I need to be on the USA store. Switching stores cancels all subscriptions.

I'd prefer a system that allowed subscription to last and one that didn't require switching stores but I'm not allowed to use another store
I agree. All the best economists recommend a carbon tax.

Such laws are difficult to pass, though. A tax on proof-of-work contests would politically be easier and encourage switching to better algorithms.

Best would be to do both. It's good to have incentives both to switch away from fossil fuels and to switch away from proof of work.
Yeah, but in the past two weeks his personal life’s reputation has taken a massive hit.

I had assumed he was an asshole when it came to biz stuff, but now it’s clear he’s been hiding his personal assholishness pretty well.
The most obvious example for 'contracts are not code': the most airtight contract in the world can get quickly voided in court if it turns out one of the parties was actually a minor at the time of signing, even if they hid that fact or didn't actually know it.
What does that mean? You can just go to some sort of service desk and ask for your deposit back without presenting anything?
It's a coincidence that the word "Hamburger" contains the English word "ham". But it's an odd coincidence:

After some brief research, it seems that both the English word "ham" and the name of the town of Hamburg have their origin in the Old High German word "hamma" which means "hollow or bend of the knee".

In the case of ham, it refers to part of the leg of an animal. In the case of Hamburg, it got its name from Hammaburg, which was the original fortification where the town was founded. In this case, "hamma" refers to some kind of feature of the piece of land, which was on a bend of the river.

Well, now I want to see how this sentence would be translated into all the other major languages! I immediately understand the meaning, but can see why it might be hard for a non native speaker to understand. Are their other languages that can say the same thing as concisely?

Google Translate must absolutely butcher this sentence. I just tried Spanish. “Habría tenido que haber estado vigilada.” I know Spanish well enough to know that is hilariously incorrect, but not well enough to know the correct translation.
The rust compiler is a great friend for the kind of code I imagine you’re talking about. Expressing ideas in the type system makes the code easier to maintain, because you can’t compile code that deviates from your invariants. I’ve been reviewing rust code at work for over a year now, much more recently having switched to a job where the main language is rust. Knowing in code review that the code compiled successfully is a huge benefit for readability and review, IMO, because you don’t need to go around checking any of the invariants the type system can catch.
Exactly, it would force apple to lower the cut they take to make it worth it.
Really? If I set up a shop in the USA, can I not dictate what I sell there and under what terms?

"Making it harder to switch" is moot, once you start purchasing stuff in X platform it is already hard to switch since your purchases do not carry over and sometimes they are not even available on other platforms.

And competition involves getting ahead, and it will feel like you are trying to prevent it from happening because if you are a lot more successful than others, it doesn't feel like competition anymore - even though others are absolutely free to get their shit together and outperform. It is important to discern the difference between "competition is being made irrelevant" and "competition is being prevented".
How would we even know if they were acting, though? It's not like they're going to broadcast all the security steps they're taking. Just because we don't hear a strategy doesn't mean there isn't one.
In 2016 I was unsatisfied with the QR Code generator libraries available in the wild, especially for C, C++, and JavaScript. Hence I wrote my own: https://www.nayuki.io/page/qr-code-generator-library ; https://github.com/nayuki/QR-Code-generator

You may be squandering your energy on things you don’t want to, and don’t realize how large of an impact it’s having, so investigate that first. You mention “grow in my career” which I’m interpreting to include “getting older”. If I’m wrong please excuse me, but you could get bloodwork done to see if you’re deficient in some micronutrient or something else. Common ones include B12, D, and magnesium, all of which lead to lower energy. Poor sleep may be leading to lack of energy. In short, there’s a long list of things that can be sapping your energy.

As far as finding the time, you are limited in how much time you have. I’ve found it helpful in the past to focus on one large project and one small project per year (or whatever arbitrary timeframe works for you). Strictly scheduling all my waking time has also helped me be more productive.
I find your characterization of critica of Go, highly uncharitable, but unfortunately all too common with Go apologetics.

If we look outside of Go, I see a lot of criticism of C++, Java, PHP and Node.js, but I rarely see the critics being attacked with "You just didn't write enough C++ code" to qualify for a critic license. I find this approach hypocritical.

For what it's worth, I wrote several software systems in Go, and deployed them in production. At least one of them is serving millions of daily active users.

Some things I'm happy about (and these were my reasons to use Go in the first place), like:

1. No JIT = no warmup
2. Portable static binaries
3. Solid tooling
4. (Mostly) high quality static library

What I really find frustrating in Go is not the verbosity (Rust is probably equally verbose, and I get over that), but the utter lack of type safety.

You see, most critics of Go (definitely the people complaining about lack of genrics), DO NOT complain about static typing. In fact, I don't remember ever seeing anyone complain about that. What people often complain about is _not enough static typing_.

Due to lack of genrics and other limitations of the language, Go essentially forces you to use empty intrrfaces, stringly-typed data, weak enums and runtime type checks all over the place. This leads to fragile code, and makes it very hard to have the same safety guarantees you could have in Java - let alone in a more FP-oriented language like Rust or Haskell.
Great choice of QuickJS. I would go with SQLite3 for storage though.
Historically that was extremely true. A salaryman would not be hired by a company that would let him retain his social status if he were fired or left. Poaching was uncommon practice. It's becoming much less true today, but it's not over yet.
Indeed, we should also account for such material resources allocated or wasted by all proof-of-some-resource crypto.

Like the number of GPUS hoarded up by a non-ASIC PoW coin, or even the manufacturing of specialized miners.
Unfortunately Apple has made advertising in free apps unviable with their universally loved by users iOS14.5 update. "Stick it to the man!!!" Unfortunately, this means advertisers who funded free apps cannot pay for apps any longer. End users must start paying for apps now.

I have converted my apps to subscription now away from advertising. I am making a more steady income. I will convert my last app in the next month or two.

Apple sell more devices with this privacy change, and they get big profit in taking a 30% cut of subscriptions. They took 0% cut of advertising.

So many end users choose to abuse app developers who funded apps through advertising. Instead this is a self inflicted wound, end users support Apple making this privacy change, so now end users have to pay for apps instead of advertisers.
> What does count as "a lot of back-end work" that's valuable to you?

By way of examples, something like a weather application or access to content. Weather data is, at least until the end of humanity's existence on Earth, ever-changing and in need of update.

> Why are subscriptions bad and what would your solution to this be?

Because I do not want to wind up in a situation where an app developer suddenly turns on subscriptions and hides features of an app behind it, on the back of an opaque update. Plus, for most apps I am quite happy to pay for a particular version and be done. (I have no problem with paying for applications.) I want the finality of the transaction, that I've given my $5 or $10 or $20 or what-have-you a single time and our business is done. Application makers have done this since time immemorial, sometimes releasing complimentary bug fixes, other times not.

I just don't like the idea that in order to retain access to a program that does all of its work on my device, I have to keep paying rent for it. Like the app at issue here, where it was doing what the user wanted and then poof, a change that cannot be reversed.

I also understand that the current model on the app stores is not conducive to one-and-done application purchase transactions. Apple doesn't make it easy to do upgrade-by-version pricing, for example. In-app purchases are available, but they're not (by default, or nearly as widely) sharable on the family-level like outright purchases are.
Usually a double spend attacks on PoS might need a collusion reaching upwards of 66%. That seems fairly improbable to me.
At the same time, I would expect the people who like it the least to have written on average fewer lines of code in Go than people who like it. It's probably like that for most languages; people tend to not heavily use tools they don't like. I've written some Go, but I have enough experience with enough languages to know I wouldn't like it any more if I were to use it more.
Of course developers would allow people to purchase through the app.

They would do this by transparently showing the markup to the user, and allowing the user to choose if they want to pay 30% more or not.

That seems like a pretty reasonable solution to all of this. Give users the choice to buy on the app, and have them pay the full fee if that is actually what the user wants.
> …years to come

Those years of life are still lost.

It’s true they would have died eventually anyway. But that’s true of everyone.
In many situations hitting the ditch at 20 is unlikely to kill you but hitting the pedestrian will still probably kill them.
I just haven't been following the news that closely, especially for Ontario (I'm not in ON). No intent to "conveniently" hide information, though thanks for clarifying.
I would say “I’d guess it’s some German supercar.” Does contracting the “I would” make it more difficult for a non native speaker to understand?

No, you missed the point. Do I click buttons in my own home? It doesn't matter if I do or which ones.

Recording what buttons I press is a violation of my privacy.
>Well, that's really the big question here, isn't it? Does Apple's App Store actually provide good value for what it costs, or is it being artificially supported through other means?

Netflix for instance can choose to refuse being on the platform under Apple's terms. It must be worth it so they stay. If Apple wanted 99% cut, would they stay? No. So the current cut must be somewhat appropriate.
You can also trigger it from Files
have you ever actually maintained production Go systems or are you just saying things based on assumptions
None of your examples are relevant.

I’d argue it is the responsibility of the consumer to know if their food has allergens. It’s convenient for consumers to have the declarations on packaged products, but that doesn’t stop an allergic person from being responsible for grabbing a street bite that ends up having nuts in it.

The airbag example is a contractual obligation with a a warranted product.

The light bulb cartel example is totally unrelated and throwing it in the mix only adds a sinister tone to the original topic. If you were talking about their salary collusion it’d be relevant. But it has no relation to iOS not allowing side loading.

I’m not saying a consumer need be an expert in everything. But expecting that a product has functionality that’s never been advertised or suggested is unreasonable.
Yeah like anyone cares about that when investing or speculating
