no you get this magical thing called a salary for your work. your compensation isnt woke virtue signaling. they arent "profiting off your labor because they got lucky on some seed money".

youre profiting off their ingenuity and idea. If many other entrepreneurs didnt do this, you wouldnt have a job because they wouldnt be available. and most people dont have the risk appetite to do something like that.

so no youre not being exploited by them. youre leeching off their idea and should realize who depends on whom.

This seems like an awful take. Ford starting to catch up to Tesla doesn't doom Tesla. They're massively overvalued, but IIRC they're somewhat financially stable, have a huge fanbase, still have high order demand, and still have an edge against all competitors in their field.

They're reaping what they've sowed, so I don't exactly feel bad about big tech firms trying to flee "wokeness" (read: performative activism that hurts its causes more than it helps them) and finding out they won't be able to do so that easily, as it's exactly the kind of environment they've cultivated and the sort of people they've catered to for the past decade. Everything you do can be construed as a political statement in one way or another, and if you make an ideological battleground out of a workplace you'll be asking for trouble down the road.

It is not "divine right of king" by any stretch of the imagination. It is a contract for exchange of service between to parties. Because you agreed to exchange their money for your labor. During that time you are obligated to do what you are agreed to be paid to do under the conditions agreed to at time of hire.

And yes they are owed your skills because they are paying you for them, that is how any exchange of services work. If you don't provide them you are not giving them what they are paying you for.

Maybe true for the last part, but I don’t think notorious is the right word. Nearly everything about a video game is UX — design and software coming together. Video games are immensely popular, and most people have several games that they love or enjoy. I would posit that you can’t really enjoy a video game if it has terrible UX, because that would mean you can’t interact and engage with it as a video game.

As a result, I would say that most popular video games actually have very good UX, relatively speaking. Games like Overwatch have optimized around combat, games like Valheim have optimized around a really cool environment. A game like Minecraft has really nailed the UX of building and crafting for a lot of people.
Yep. The story of Basecamp is a story of how the extreme-right is able to successfully tar any progress - or, frankly, any lack of regress - as "politics", and therefore something that belongs in a box somewhere else, to be addressed at some other time. When what you want is the status quo, you can always look like the great reconciler by saying "this isn't the time for this conversation", because you win by default.
Unfortunately, while it sounds good in theory, it falls apart in practice for multiple reasons.

Mainly that anything involving cooking involves an interaction of heating rate, thickness, volume vs. surface area, moisture evaporation rate, browning rate, etc. Their interaction is entirely non-linear.

On top of that, there's the fact that measurements are often chosen to relate to a whole number of large eggs, to standard baking pan sizes, what can be cooked in a single frying pan without overcrowding, etc.

Obviously some recipes scale better than others. But you're generally best off sticking to the recipe, scaling by an integer multiple, and using that many separate pans/trays/batches. And you don't really need a website to double numbers for you...
> The office is exactly where we should be advocating for things, because it is where we spend the most time and can affect the most change.

Just like we can't say "I should vote on other people's behalf because I know better", we also can't say "I should have more access to societal change because I am employed in an affluent organization". Otherwise it would be elitism 101.

Office as a means of societal change doesn't provide equitable access to everyone in a democratic society. There is no such thing as democratic participation through back-channels.

Playing politics in or around a megacorp is only popular because petite-bourgeois, frustrated with not actually being an elite and having any real control, try to co-opt hot button societal issues in the hopes that their political gesturing will be a status enhancer and grant them access to some power.

I am very familiar with anti abortionist activists views due to my family. My mom marched with Operation Rescue during the infamous summer in Wichita that resulted in first a bombing, then eventually a murder done by shooting a doctor in the middle of a church service.

There is a deep dishonesty in everything they say. They trot out the abortion is murder phrase constantly, but their behavior reveals that their actual priority is asserting their sexual mores. They want to punish those who disagree with them.

It's part of a deeper hypocrisy that forms the spine of the modern evangelical movement in the US. I remember vividly my parents describing to me God's grace as a loophole: "You need to try to do good, but so long as you accept God into your heart once you're now saved no matter what you do." This is why you see evangelicals regularly act against their own professed morals, so long as it fits the performance of being a good evangelical christian.
I think it's fair to say the reason the business employed you is to fulfill the aims of the owners of the business. This does not negate you have your own aims and needs, but for the employment relationship to continue those aims need to be in alignment.

No it's not. It's a statement that your goal is to elevate yourself as an individual not via group association

That's the whole point. Delegate group elevation so you can take care of business with regards to your own individual social elevation

People who work in multiple languages probably wouldn't be too happy with this. (Particularly not with dropping English since it's the most common second language.)

This also isn't going to work economically for companies selling consumer apps because they aren't going to want to limit their market to a one country, particularly if it's a small one. There's more money in targeting the world, so programmers just have to deal. (The support matrix is often complicated already with multiple platforms to support.)

I think it's fine in many cases to target limited audiences. Companies often have internal apps that aren't internationalized. But the popular apps that we all use have to be very complicated because they actually do try to be universal.

Have you raised kids? If not you may be surprised by the experience when you do so.
Unless there is somebody there blocking a boy or a girl from reaching a certain aisle, stereotypes are no issue. Yes, there are aisle that are predominantly pink and full of princesses, and others that are full of soldiers and weapons, but in the end... who cares ? Assuming that one is about girls and the other is about boys is itself sexist.

For example, ,my daughter loves dressing like a princess and using make-up, despite the mother hating both. On the other side, she really loves playing with trucks, scrapers etc. Shall I nudge her towards one topic or the other so that she will be "gender neutral" ? No, who cares. Whatever she likes is fine.

The ones having social pressure are not the kids, but the parents. "oh my God if I am going to give a doll to my daughter I will be a sexist bad parent". no, really, give her what she likes more,does she likes dolls ? Give her that. Does she prefer being an and engineer ? Good, give her the tools that she asks for, as long as it is what SHE wants, not you want.

If this means confirming some stereotypes.... well too bad, you're supposed to make your daughter happy, not some statician.

(disclaimer: I have a single daughter and probably I won't have any more kid so I guess I'm project on her also what I would like to have from a male kid... still as long as she is happy I am fine, regardless of whatever she wants to do of her life)
> My theory is that the uglier the word sounds, the less it will be used, the less popular the concept will be, which in this case is probably a good thing.

But the word brings attention to an issue. "Stroads" are already commonplace but people don't have a word to identify the problem. Since the word isn't popular people don't have a framework with which to understand and communicate the problem.
Oof. There isn't room to just go to work... to work?

I want to go to the office and interact with people who are the best at what they do, I want my company to hire those people, and I expect them to hold me to equal standards. When the office was explicitly segregated, men vs women, black vs white, whatever,sure,they're could have been room for politics to change that in the workplace. It doesn't seem the same now. We hire the best people we can get,and we go to work to achieve a common aligned with whatever our work is.

I'll deal with, or avoid, politics outside the workplace. I can't imagine trying to work through all the nuance of my personal political views with a coworker or, God forbid, an employee.

How much would you enjoy discussing your potentially opposing political views with your boss? I trust him to be a good person, but once you pay that seed of doubt in someone's mind, things are never the same.

Honest question: aren’t schematics trade secrets? Won’t public schematics make it easier for others to copy? That seems like a big deal to me. If I were designing a new piece of technology, I wouldn’t necessarily want to publish my schematics.

A 2016 Prius gets ~40++ mpg on a 10 gal tank all day at 90mph. That is, >> 400 mile range per fueling stop. I heard this on the internets, of course, I wouldn't know, personally ;-). Fueling stops imply human fuel as well.

I gazed with amazement at all the fanboyz in the threads above about what a gamechanger this E-truck is. Oh. 230 mile range OPTIMAL. Some hope of a range extending $$$ option.

wrt to your comment, of course that would be a game changer, if a hybrid E-truck could get 40+ mpg with a 400+ mile range. (No comment on the aerodynamics and efficiency at speed) And the imagination goes... yeah, you could now financialize on-site construction generators... emergency power generators... whoa baby let me in where do I invest. Because you could market this to sportsball enthusiasts and then scale. In the US, maybe?

Well, I in fact own a 2001 Tundra V8 4WD which I recently refurbed $3K into because it just works. But I sure wish it got 40 mpg instead of an optimistic 13 mpg. Extra gas tanks are a well known technology for extended off road excursions, for a century now.

Howdy! Are you planning on Desktop support for the UI builder? I was about to hand you all my money but it doesn't like it exists yet... or at least allow me to set custom dimensions on the editor/preview.

Also, does it support rendering/previewing custom widgets?

FWIW-- I've done a fair amount iOS development and loved IB (despite all the crashes and issues) for the easy visual editing; so, I'm primarily looking at this as a way to better visualize and layout my components (I personally don't need incredibly robust desktop support).

Thanks for the work on this it looks awesome.

I'm not sure that's the regional split. I'm in the UK, and hear it being using in both senses:

"You should deal with it / I'll deal with it" - do something to solve the problem

"Yeah, deal with it!" - dismissively, put up with it

I don't know if the latter came from the American usage, but I certainly hear it used.

Sure, but it's not qualitatively different from many other situations where employees make incompatible demands, is what I'm saying. One employee can say, I want to be allowed to work from home; another can say, I have trouble interacting with people remotely and want to see them face to face. One employee can say, I want to bring my dog to the office; another can say, I'm allergic to dogs. One employee can say, I want a beer fridge at work; another can say, I'm a recovering alcoholic and free beer is too dangerous. One employee can say, I really want a strong management structure; another can say, I really want a flat structure. One employee can say, I wish to live in New York and work during the daytime; another can say, I wish to live in Tokyo and work during the daytime.

It's the employer's job (not the employees') to mediate between those, if possible (such as by having different teams with different offices/policies/etc.), and figure out which employees to make contracts with, if not.

Or, more directly, two employees can say, I want this much salary, and the company doesn't have budget for both. If they meet the demand of one employee, they are risking the other employee. But nobody would ever suggest (in good faith) that either of the employees needs to put the business first and not negotiate for a higher salary so that the company can retain the other employee. That's the company's problem to solve.

(Since you mentioned a hostile work environment - sure, there is a law in some jurisdictions that you cannot discriminate based on political affiliations. If one employee is trying to put the company in violation of the law, then the company has an easy answer for which employee not to make a contracts with. And, again, such a law binds companies and effectively obligates them not to hire people who will put them in violation of the law; it typically does not bind employees. In the absence of a law giving the company only one choice, it's up to the employer to figure out what benefits them more. Underpaying a hard-working employee is certainly "hostile" in a colloquial sense, but it is not illegal, and many companies manage to retain underpaid employees in practice.)

I think one good example of "good UX" is Id Software's Doom 4, a game that has a phenomenal UI and great placement of relevant info. Weapon status is tracked adjacent to the crosshair, while cooldowns and health bars were relegated to the corners of the screen. If you played that game's campaign, you're probably well familiar with how dang good that HUD is.

Then we get to Doom Eternal, the sequel to Doom 4. Doom Eternal is a really fun game, but it's UI is a direct downgrade from it's predecessor. If you don't believe me, I suggest you compare them yourself: the difference is quite staggering. Gone are the easy-to-read colors from Doom 4, now replaced by strange and ugly gradients that waste too much brainpower to read and contribute to digital noise. The cleaner UI layout has also been desecrated, swapping the cooldowns to appear next to the crosshair and putting weapon stats in the corner... what??? I will never fully understand how any of this game's UI passed QA or sold as many copies as it did when it looks this ugly.

That being said, Doom 4 and Eternal are both fantastic games, and you can pick them up for pretty cheap these days. It runs on relatively low end hardware (any dgpu should work) and even runs on Linux!
