Right, my argument above is assuming a sort of "all else remains constant (or within the value range of the raises you are given)" except for experience with the company.

Change in market place conditions, and change in skills, definitely do create an argument for raising pay. In the tech industry I'd argue that this isn't being accounted for enough (why turn over rates are so high), but if we look at something like "wallmart manager" I think it probably is. This is a good portion of why I started my post with I don't completely disagree.
As long time Mac and relatively recent cross platform user, native window snapping is a joke in macOS made tolerable by Magnet. Option just changes the green button mode from new workspace (or whatever its called) to whole screen. In most Windows OSes the eponymous key plus an arrow will cycle the UI window through helpful positions of whole, half, quarter.

The sibling comment challenges the parent regarding the importance of window snapping. I used to think it wasn't a big deal. I was accustomed to mousing windows here and there and seeing bits of other things behind. After using iOS I have a new appreciation for focus, simplicity and reduced non-functional effort.

A significant amount of user-time in a standard desktop GUI is spent changing application and window contexts. Why wouldn't it be as much a first class concern as brushed metal and lickability?

I think the claim about de-emphasizing climbing is BS. I just looked at Trek, Giant and Specialized websites and -all- of their mtn bikes ditched the front derailleur and use small-rings in the front. If climbing was passe, why the crazy low gearing?

Bar-ends were add-ons for at least a decade (late-80's early 90's) before they became standard. They provide better control and stability because the radius/ulna are not crossed like they are in the standard position. I think they disappeared because there was too much risk of hooking another rider (think packs of riders shoulder-to-shoulder grinding uphill), and not enough climbing or stability benefit.

Or perhaps aesthetics play more a part of mtnbike design than functionality?
I love MTB bar ends. They let you adopt a more efficient position for the inevitable road sections between trails.
If you commute by bike, get them (or a bar-end mirror that sticks out)! They will save your hands in a crash!

I have a bike mirror that's structurally like a bar-end. I got right hooked by a driver: he didn't look nor signal, just yanked the wheel while I was in the bike lane next to him. The mirror/bar-end left a dent and then deep scratch all the way down the side of his SUV. That could have been my fingers!
> stuff = { [0]="one", "two", "three" }

In this case, is it possible to make iteration start with the element at index 0? Maybe by implementing a custom version of `ipairs`?
They are not always frivolous. For example, I have a car which rolls down the windows about an inch when the door is opened, because the door does not have a frame that fully encases the window. So it's a glass preservation feature in that case, and the loss of the steel to fully encase the window probably saved weight over the window motors.

And TBH, electric motors aren't that heavy. You still need all the gearing and such with a hand crank.
Yep we basically have the same story. I don't live in that part of the country anymore but if I did I would absolutely own land up there. Congrats on the new place.
The longer I have worked from home (15+ yrs) the shabbier my chairs have gotten.

Spending $2000 on a chair 10 years ago felt like an 'investment', but ultimately I found I still got fatigued even after focusing on posture and all that.

I currently sit on a folding metal chair at my desk out of laziness. I take walks around my garden and breaks to get water almost every hour. It works for me, your mileage may vary.
This is where professional politicians need to learn a lesson from the Great Orange One. If Buttigieg had just answered "No, I don't think our passenger planes are safe over Bellarus anymore, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect the safety of US citizens flying in Europe", that would have been fine.
I bought an Herman-Miller Embody some years ago. It's prohibitively expensive, but given that I sit on this chair easily for 10-12+ hours a day, I wanted to get the best possible option and it hasn't aged a bit in 5 years.

> Why is it that when I click Finder, nothing actually opens?

This would be an example of the 10% of the UI which isn't identical.

One of the fundamental differences between macOS and Windows is the menu bar. There's only one at a time, and it belongs to the program which has the focus. A corollary of this is that you don't need a window to have a program.

It's not just Finder, most macOS programs are perfectly happy having no window open.

I've been on OS X since 2003, and it took me a second to figure out what you were talking about here, because if I don't see the window I expect to see, my eyes immediately flick to the upper-left corner. If I see what I expect to see, I've probably already typed Cmd-N or Cmd-O, depending.

There's a lot to complain about with Finder; my personal peeve is that I want two-finger-swipe-right to go back one directory, like the back button in browsers. But this particular behavior is just macOS working the way that it does. If you close all open windows in Preview and quit, then start it again, it will do the same thing.
Machine learning is a tool for solving certain tasks.
Usefulness lies in finding new places to use those techniques. The hype is about predictions that machine learning (or AI in hype-speak) will be able to do things that it is currently not able to.

Right now machine learning seems like a useful tool for certain tasks but not as revolutionary as e.g. the invention of the car.
I have a mediocre Ikea chair[1] and a sit/stand desk that I stand at maybe 25-30% of the day.

I lift weights, swim, bike, and do yoga. That combination has resolved the back and hip pain I used to suffer from.

I don't know how you got any of that from my comment. I'm quite explicitly not arguing in favor of interventionism, nor am I arguing that Soviets were evil. I'm making a metaargument that criticisms of US interventionism must compare US interventionism with Soviet interventionism; it's insufficient to say that US interventionism is worse than no interventionism because the latter wasn't a plausible option. So yeah, it's a shitty argument for interventionism because it's not an argument for interventionism. ;)

Yea, their OS, their store, their software stack. Sure, you own the device, so put whatever OS you want on it. But you can’t force Apple to write their OS however you want except by market forces. Well, you could try using extreme tactics like government regulation, but that’s a severe overreach and uncalled for just because you don’t like the way apple writes their software.

Algorithmic agility has proved to be a huge area of vulnerability in a lot of security protocols.

I think new protocols should explicitly choose the crypto algorithms and the only way to change them would be to upgrade the protocol as a whole.
> The filesystem is super confusing to tons of users

It's basically hidden entirely in iOS, probably for this reason.
The barrier to entry is that many niche markets that latch on to the original service over time are incredibly random and difficult to associate with a uniform market. You can build and price a cheaper app, but reaching the set of customers would be difficult.

In the best case scenario for top-down Wikipedia, it would have been Google Knol. That was where they were going when it was nominally a startup founded by a guy whose previous venture had been an online men’s magazine. But then the community revolted.

We all know what a successful startup looks like. But I feel that the internet lacks criteria for a community like Wikipedia. Or for that matter, the chan sites. The tech can be almost ludicrously out of date, the design can be bland, the programmers sub-par, changes roll out over years rather than days, and yet it can have an unstoppable and highly influential community.
It's not that Windows Explorer is much better, though. I hate how it prefers to display everything as icons instead of details. How it hides files and directories, doesn't show extensions, etc. But there's one thing it gets right: it shows you where you are, and you can edit that to go anywhere.

Finder can do that too, but it doesn't show you it can do that. You have to know. I recently got a Macbook from work, partially because a Mac-fan coworker had been bugging me to switch from Windows to Mac. At some point I was showing something and typed a path straight into Finder, which blew his mind! He'd been using Macs for ages, and he just wasn't aware that Finder could do that. He learned something useful and new, but it's also quite telling that even some experienced Mac users aren't aware of the existence of such a vital feature.
An acronym for “working from home”.
You successfully managed to confirm all of the parent's complaints by showing that they aren't achievable in Finder, or don't follow a consistent convention and have to be done some other way.

> How do you insure you are working on the most important items for the TEAM?

Getting away from work is the best tool in my experience

Managers are self-selected from a group of hard workers committed to the organization. They can want to jump on urgent tasks to shield their teams. This is a great instinct.

BUT... it can cross a line where the manager becomes ineffective and begins feeling like they need to do everything, and loses trust in delegating to others to handle these tasks. You can get into a negative "I alone" mindset, where you feel like you have to carry the world on your shoulders. This can be pretty damaging to the manager and the team...

So getting away is a way to (a) force others to take on more responsibility thus building your trust in their ability and (b) get away from the urgent, crystalizing what's remaining as the true 'important' ways you can help the team.

> Whats the thing that drains you the most?

Respond to slack, go to meetings, slack, meetings, repeat... day ends and it feels like nothing got done

> Where do you reach out to get advise outside of your company?

Honestly, peers at other companies. We have some strong relationships with companies we don't compete with, and we share a lot of learnings about technology we use.

> What is missing from the tools you currently have?

IMO recruiting tools suck for hiring managers. In my experience, the best devs react more positively to hearing from a hiring manager than a recruiter, yet recruiting tools are built for what feels like impersonal bulk-emailing. As the hiring manager, if I see someone with relevant experience, I just end up sending a real email or LinkedIn message with warm details about why the recruit looks interesting (with real tech details, not recruiter BS).

Yet on LinkedIn/Email the contact isn't in our recruiting system... So when they do want to be interviewed, you have to get them in the system somewhat manually.

@coldtea already pointed out some tips, but some others to note:

> - There's no (?) way to keep everything consistently sorted and aligned

Press CMD-J to open up the visual option, you can auto group and sort, snap to grid (unsorted), choose a default view.

> - No "parent folder"...

You can either press CMD-UpArrow or just right click on the title bar to see all the folders above it.

Windows Explorer is also missing column view, which is a much faster way to navigate the file system completely with the keyboard. I'm often frustrated in Windows Explorer just trying to move around directories.

What's pretty clear is that the small form-factor multi-screen device needs a compelling story to establish value and utility.

The Surface Duo looks like a very cool device that I would probably never use over a phone with one good screen, more power and a great camera. Similar to tablets, I personally just reach for the phone or the laptop or my TV, and never a tablet.

But a Duo released with some more power and some imaginative use cases might start to sell. I think it's a shame that the larger Neo and Windows 10X seem to be dead before arrival, because it might have led to something interesting. But Microsoft has not resolved the conflict between Windows for everyone, and an application store that feels competitive and properly populated, so locked down devices have consistently failed for them.

The Duo running Android doesn't have that limitation, so the bigger question might be if Microsoft can do a sufficiently sophisticated job customizing Android, making it feel like something more than just Android, and making it work perfectly with this unique form factor. But it's hard to see the business case for all the resources going into what still feels like a very niche device category.

I switch at around the same time and I had the exact same experience. You can use your Mac pretty much the same way you did 15 years ago. Some of the newer stuff is a little annoying, there’s basically “to much” operating system and it sometimes get in the way.

The article isn’t wrong though, so things do seem a bit weird if you don’t know they work. MacOS is far from perfect, it is however much more consistent than Windows.

And as with so many articles, the reader might ask, what is this thing you are talking about? What is a bar end?

I realize a picture of the front of a bike was provided but it looked pretty normal to me, and I see where the bar ends, but that’s not making it any more clear.

Gradually through reading between the lines I can get an inkling, but readers deserve a short definition up front, beyond just saying they are an emblematic retro accessory.
I read once that a (cheap) cubic zirconia is difficult to tell apart from a diamond, unless you have a sharp eye and know exactly what you are looking for: if you propose with a zirconia, your wife will not notice unless she tries to sell the thing. Diamond sellers would tell you otherwise, telling that "zirconia has no fire inside", while others say exactly the opposite.

As fishy as all of that market smells, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of diamond buyers are getting CZ or moissanites for their money.

Perforce’s command line app uses this pattern for one of its most dangerous commands: p4 obliterate //depot/path/... which prints out exactly which files will be obliterated from the server (which not only removes their entire history, but can corrupt other files too if you don’t p4 snap them first).

To actually carry out the obliterate action, you have to add the -y option.
I use a wooden chair much like this one: https://i.imgur.com/2LZ2d3M.png

What I came to realize after a while of thinking about this is that this is all bikeshedding (at least, it was for my situation). If you have issues of a high severity, it might make sense to invest in a chair to alleviate some symptoms like pain and discomfort. If you have money lying around just waiting to be used, it might make sense to spend it on a cool and nifty Herman Miller or whatever.

But the most important thing, bar none, is you work to have a good posture and physical health thus eliminating the need to be picky about your chairs. If you don't have postural issues, great. If you do, then get working: start with some variant of 5x5 routine, make sure to do good rows with an appropriate amount of weights, and some face pulls with good form.

I don't think there is that much chance of shooting war, both sides have too much to lose.

Keeping the application running when the last main form is closed is a Mac-ism enabled only by global application menu. It has benefits and drawbacks, but it's pretty clear that without it there is no intuitive way to do that.

I can assure you that I repeat the fumbling you describe but the other way around on mac. It's just two different UXes and which operations they allow (or can be intuitively done) will differ because of some fundamental earlier choices such as e.g. how many mouse buttons the user can be expected to have, or whether a program can show a global menu.
Thus defeating the entire purpose of having a two screen setup where one screen acts like a controller. You'd be better off getting a larger screen phone and a bracket to clip the phone to a physical controller. Especially with one that has as many buttons as the XBox controller does.
What data are you using? In China people go to the hospital for a cold routinely. People also used to do so in my country until the government cracked down on it, fwiw.
