This encapsulates my feelings perfectly. My Gmail account is 17 years old, but I get a notification on my phone every hour or so, that I must verify my age with Google. Nevermind that I've bought plenty of things from them over the years and that all I want to do is watch a YouTube video they happily showed me many times before.

Now I'm shopping for some storage to keep seventeen years of emails etc. so I can do a quick Takeout so that I don't lose access to all my data when I inevitably get unfriended and blocked by them for not being sufficiently compliant.
I'm surprised by the hand wringing angst at this "unproductive member of society". The article was a lark - a bit of exposition on thinking about things differently. Does the author say you need to lay about? No, he just described what it means for him. Is he privileged? Sure, I suppose. We just went through a global pandemic - cut society some slack. This anger at someone expressing an opinion sounds a lot like fox news faux drama.
There have changes I disliked, but since a while it's become better. For me. This change, however ... I don't fancy the new tabs (macOS). It feels like they want to be pushed, like a button. Either that, or that they're not really part of the browser, but a third party application floating over the window. I'll get used to it, I suppose, but it's not love at first sight.

But if you didn't like the preceding batch of changes, and then this one comes along, I can imagine you're going to give negative feedback. It surprised me more to see so many people that like it!
Yes. I am it's author.
Thank you for your interest

Some introduction about this.

Proton(https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Proton)Firefox’s new design released June.01
Photon is 88 or lower design.

Proton’s overall feel is good, but there were a few things I didn’t like and wanted to improve.

- Padding gaps are wide

- Remove icons from panel

- A tab that looks like a button

- Tab indicators (Ex. Only one of the favicon and sound icon is displayed)

I've improved all of these things.

- Padding & Icon: https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix#padding-comparis...

- Tab Indicators: https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/wiki/Screenshots...

I've also provided a version for those who like Photon.

Specifically, not all manufacturing processes have moved to China as I understand it, just the ones that tend to be made more problemmatic due to labor cost/environmental controls as far as I'm aware. I'm a bit out of date on my scratching the surface of that industry, but my understanding was things like NAFTA and regulatory requirements tend to lead to an absolute minimum level of parts (I'm bundling in resource extraction and processing into fabrication, which technically, I shouldn't be, that's supply chain management from the manufacturer's perspective) fabrication being done in the U.S., with the main focus being final assembly (read: relatively unskilled or labor conducive to being automated). The rest below a particular fraction needed to claim "made in USA", and thus avoiding some sort of import duty liability or some such. Some places like Boeing make sweetheart deals with suppliers internationally to gain political capital and better treatment incentivewise; other places just run after the cheapest source they can get away with (without robust attention paid to QC from the horror stories I've heard).

There's a bit of an inflection point, because some fabrication/production has proved problemmatic beimg outsourced. For instance, turbine blades for jet engine manufacturing fabricated from certain lots of Chinese steel have had failure traced back to elevated sulfur levels in the atmosphere in China that weren't accomodated for in the original planning. That's just one example I know of.

Take this with a grain of salt. It's a hobby of mine, not my primary day-to-day, so if I'm talking out my rear, I'd love to be corrected by someone inside the industry. I'm a logistics nerd deep down, so I love drinking in these types of arcane quirks of reality vs. in theory.

It's more about "nudging" people towards getting vaccinated from my stand point. That's how we get through this pandemic.

I do strongly hope that the entire system will no longer be required come the end of 2021, or this time next year at the latest.

For the Exposure Notification apps the same thing applies.

I have gained a kind of hyper-focus and desire to do the work I had entirely lost thanks to the 9-5 grind, I've been working from home since before covid too. 9-5 5 day weeks seem almost designed to cause that kind of long-tail unproductivity.

That's kind of an uncharitable way to say, "Rust has a welcoming and beginner-friendly community". It's not like there's a marketing team buying Facebook ads.

> I compete for positions with people all over the world. Who can complete with a fraction of the salary I need.

This is what always jumps to the front of my mind when I read about WFH on software engineering forums.

I'm lucky -- I have deep technical expertise in a very uncommon intersection of economically valuable topics. I never compete for positions, because there is way more work than available skilled labor. Even still, I'll be back in the office. One day the education system will catch up -- or my skill-set will become obsolete -- and at that point having a decade-long in-person relationship is my only bulwark against ruin.

I can't imagine being a SWE working on a standard tech stack without deep personal connections in an application domain and thinking of WFH as anything other than an enormous and terrifying threat.
It's not all optional and off by default... They only ask about sending debug data to app developers, siri, and I believe find-my. Apple is a little worse since they try to force you into entering your credit cards for Apple pay.
As someone who runs a SaaS[1] I'm always really surprised by how slow many websites are, even those clearly run by well funded teams pushing hard to grow their service.

The following two things seem axiomatic by now to me:

1. It's well established that faster websites convert better in a strongly correlated relationship. From Google/Amazon scale case studies down to smaller ones, the faster your website is the more money you'll make...

2. How fast your website runs is almost entirely within your control, whereas factors like competitor positioning, Google's ranking algorithm, whether your service is mentioned in a viral twitter thread etc. etc. are all not!

Given these it seems spending a few developer hours after each set of site changes to keep things at a perfect 100 PageSpeed score is a very high return investment of time. Especially when some performance improvements affect 100% of prospective buyers, whereas say adding a specific feature might only improve conversion for a small segment of your funnel's first step.

> Try to be more compassionate of others and assume better intent.

Again, that's a fair point and I will do so, but that's completely missing how people on my side of things are being driven to this.

I can't say something like "I had covid so I'm not getting the vaccine." on Facebook without having an algorithm shadow ban my post.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/may/29/facebook-wh...

I can't post my opinions here without being madly downvoted. I post legitimate evidence of the censure of my opinions and am downvoted.

Youtube removes any videos critical of the Government's handling of COVID, and state governments gives beer and ice cream to people willing to take an experimental vaccine.

This post will be downvoted into oblivion. When people on my side can't have a conversation with people on the other side, how are we supposed to maintain positive outlooks?
In 2010, Google required your ID card if you enter a false birth date, and you are locked out of your account in the meantime. Happened to a colleague of mine because we were using Google Apps for Business. Because he didn’t want to give his real info to Google at work, he couldn’t work for 2 days and had to give Google his ID.
This is an active search. They are looking for things they know they can detect and which—if detected—will provide them with enough certainty that they're looking at output from an alien civilization to warrant further investigation.

We may stumble upon something novel, like Tabby's Star[0], and ultimately determine it is caused by an alien civilization or not. This sort of passive search is fine; but generally speaking, if aliens do things differently than we do, they will either be invisible to us, or we won't know we're looking at them even if we see them. We don't know enough to have any kind of active search for aliens that aren't like us in some way. Even searches for things like Dyson swarms are informed by speculating about our own needs.

Yes, more erratic and outlandish than most. Owning a company that produces starships ticks the outlandish box all on its own.
Inexplicable tweets that draw draw the ire of the SEC and the flip flop on Bitcoin tick the erratic box.
I'm glad this works for you & others and that you are happy. However, every time WFH comes up here, people present their preferences as universally better or best. I hate WFH but that is my preference. I really wish these discussions were more about how happy people are that they now have a choice instead of things being so authoritative.

For clarity, I enjoy having a hard separation between home and work. If I'm at home, I'm more likely to be distracted with chores instead of working. I leave my laptop at work so I don't need to work off hours unless there is an emergency. I enjoy my 30 minute commute. I listen to podcasts or design board games. I understand I could do those at home, but I'm more likely to just watch a show or something instead of dedicating time to just listening to a podcast. I enjoy being around friends that I've worked with off and on for over 20 years. We go to lunch together and talk about life. Sometimes we play board games at lunch. I enjoy collaborating over a white board trying to solve a problem. It is sooo much easier to do that in person. I personally feel more part of a team in person than I do if we just communicate via Slack. But these are just the things that work for me. I don't expect anyone else to feel the way I do but there are lots of others out there like me too. I'm glad more companies have options for those with a preference.
True. If you (or lots of other people) validate someone's emotional states that are not rooted in correctness (or reality), then they may believe them to be correct.

This may be harmful to that individual in the long run, so we should be careful about how often and how much we validate such feelings.
Anytime you see “exclusivity” it’s driven by the same venal emotions, whether it’s Bolinas or a Miami nightclub or a marina on Martha’s Vineyard.
How is it polarization? I want to work from home full time, my employer stops allowing it, so I find a new job. Especially in the software industry where there's an unlimited number of remote/wfh jobs there's no point in needlessly compromising for your employer's sake.

Ah yes, those mild mental health issues that still get people fired for regularly under the auspice of "attendance issues," "cultural fit," or any of the numerous reasons they can get fired for that are totally the result of their mild mental health issue but have to be re-phrased so that the company doesn't get sued.

As someone with ADHD, anxiety/depression, and chronic migraines; the bullshit conversations and 'management' meetings I've had to sit through because people very much still don't have any understanding of these issues is staggering. While I am not getting fired for calling out twice or thrice in a week once in a while, that's mostly due to me being in a "knowledge worker" job, if I was in a customer facing job or other position that requires "butt in seat hours" I am certain that I would have already gotten canned 100 times over due to these mild mental health issues; because quantity attendance is more important that quality attendance in a lot of jobs.

OCD isn't a "normal thing that most people will encounter" problem, neither is depression, neither is anxiety; OCD isn't some "lol I need to fill my gas tank to a round dollar amount," depression isn't "boy howdy did I feel sad for a few weeks after that break-up," anxiety isn't "that was a bit stressful firing that employee." You can feel depressed without having depression, you can feel anxious without having anxiety, you can be exacting without having OCD; but none of the prior are mental illnesses while all of the latter are. So, while the __feeling__ has been normalized, the actual illness absolutely hasn't been; and from experience it's been made more difficult by the generalizing of the words, where now people equate the action/feeling with the much more serious illness - so now I have to spend time explaining how debilitating the actual illness is, just to have people go "well I feel depressed sometimes, and I'm here."

Quite frankly, one of the many reasons folks have to put how bad things are or can get out there is due to this conflation of the feeling with the illness; so you seeing these expressions of "things are actually this bad for me," and conflating it with "emotional porn" because "everybody experiences things like OCD, depression, anxiety, etc" is actually a perfect example of why I can very confidently say that the stigma about mental health hasn't changed that much; it's just been repackaged with a nicer bow.

This. Perl at least attempts to maintain backwards compatibility. Python libraries and the interpreter actively break old code all the time.

Also, Python is at least as bad as Perl about breaking silently. If you care about maintaining a codebase over time, pick anything that has static types.

I’ve found Go to be a reasonable python replacement, though I haven’t found either python or go to be a reasonable perl replacement.

UFCS as a concept is fantastic but the one hangup is that D's language server implementation by the community and
its IDE integration can't handle it because of the complexity.

https://github.com/Pure-D/serve-d

https://github.com/Pure-D/code-d

(I can't remember if the Visual Studio extension, VisualD handles UFCS or not)

http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html

It's possible to implement, because Nim's language server handles UFCS, but atm D's doesn't do it (it's written pretty much by one people)

So personally I avoid UFCS except for very simple/common function like "to!" because it breaks the intellisense for that call.

Though if I knew the language inside and out probably I wouldn't care.

It's still my "favorite" language.
