Yes. Think of all the different cultures you encounter on a long auto drive from Madrid to Moscow. Now drive from LA to Bangor, similarly long, if not longer.

Is it no wonder, then, we might feel like there are "different" Americas in the broad expanse of the US? And "different" Americans?

While I agree with you in part, another argument might ascribe many aspects of a perceived "polarization" to mere geography.
I'm thinking about something different: a site, where everyone can publish a fact or a statement, arguments that supports or contradicts the fact, and a process with goal to make fact proven or falsified. (Sorry for my English).

Got a question. What do you think, is it possible to create internal tools as desktop apps that doesn't need servers/internet connection? I understand that your product is web based, so doesnt have such desktop-app feature. Can you recommend any no-code tool for building desktop based apps?
This definitely presumes a certain company size. The company I work for has 5 employees (2 in an engineering capacity), there's zero room for dedicated teams for anything.

I've found even in a 100 person startup there's probably appetite for 1, MAYBE 2 people who are 100% dedicated to security.

No, hydrogen at an industrial scale is produced chemically from petroleum. The two steps are "shift reaction" and "steam reforming."

The examples you gave are exactly the ones I mean with generic solutions. Stuff you can apply to many things, like lambdas. Such things exist in many programming languages. Yes, that's stuff people should learn and keep up with.

But using some weird quirk or very uncommon language construct just to save a couple of lines of code (and show how well you know the language) - tempting, but just don't.

And use long, understandable variable names! Don't be a mathematician, you're an engineer! (totally unrelated but its just really annoying)
The "we'll pay you for an interview" stunt was a great marketing gimmick but it actually acted as an intentional trap: if you turned up for the interview and declined the job, they'd report that you turned down the job offer which may cause you to lose unemployment benefits. In practice it acted as a signing bonus with free publicity, not the "no strings attached interview bonus".

You might say this is obvious because TINSTAAFL (or "paid interview" rather than "free lunch") but the target demographic is less likely to be aware of contractual nuances like this.
I wish there was a way to tell the browser to add more default styles to my document. For example we have reader mode but this completely munges your document and kills all custom styles and scripts. It would be cool if you could tell the browser to apply a nice pretty style (customizable by the user of course) but then possibly opt out small sections of the page (like an interactive example) where you could add custom scrips and styles.

Obviously this works best with simple "document" websites but it always seems so weird telling the browser how to style the document when I know very little about the user or the device. It is getting "better" in a way with media queries for information about the device and user preference (like dark/light colour scheme) but it still is relying on each site to interpret those settings themselves, and progress is slow because everything needs to be standardized.

This also opens the door to a "clean" mode with no default borders, margins, padding, sizes, styles which would help when making interfaces where you want to control every pixel and don't want to be surprised in differences in default browser style sheets.
A SpaceX launch outputs 336,552KG of CO2. I imagine Blue Origin's first passenger flight will be a bit less because it's not going as high.

The environmental cost of doing anything is far from ideal, but in the case of space tourism the impact is minimal. A 777-300 flight from New York to London outputs about 1,261KG of CO2 per passenger.[1] In British Airways configuration there are 299 seats on a plane like that, which is 377,039KG in total. There are 28 direct NY-LDN flights daily.

If the goal is to reduce the amount of high atmosphere CO2 then persuading 300 fewer people to fly across the Atlantic would have a larger impact.

It's also worth pointing out that Jeff Bezos owns two Gulfstream G650ER private jets, which will be putting a lot more CO2 in to the atmosphere than his day trip to space.

[1] From https://www.atmosfair.de/en/offset/flight/

EDIT: It turns out that Blue Origin's rocket exhaust is water, so all the CO2 is retained at ground level. I guess that's good news.
It's actually very hard to find help on an open source project. People are fine with submitting the odd PR here and there or reporting issues, but actually RUNNING a project, in whole or in part, is a serious commitment that few people will find the energy to stick with.
If the overview effect [1] is real, even just a few world leaders and ultra-wealthy appreciating the fragility of earth could easily outweigh any pollution from space tourism.

In terms of carbon it's not even that bad, a spaceflight is roughly comparable to an airliner crossing the Atlantic. Of course it puts other pollutants in more layers of the atmosphere, something we definitely have to study as spaceflight becomes more common.

IMO you have to maintain or exert some control over a nation in order to be an oligarch. So Jeff and Elon are out, but David Koch and Robert Mercer meet the definition for me. These guys have exerted huge control over the US over the last 30-40 years.

Not only this, but "kulaks" had generally been peasants 15 years earlier before the Russian Revolutions. Lenin had attempted collectivization, but it was a massive failure, so instead peasant farmers were given the land. They became fairly successful and increased productivity. But this was one of those intolerable contradictions of Marxism - socialism in the cities, capitalism in the countryside -, so Stalin and the Party orchestrated this murderous rampage you describe. Truly awful.

I imagine most contract delivery workers have considered this and factor it into their decision making. I don't think these positions are meant to be a perfect improvement across the board to traditional starting wage jobs, but it's up to the employee to make the judgement based on their own risk tolerance.

Like many folks here, I worked full-time minimum wage for years before eventually entering the professional world, and I can say given the choice now, I'd absolutely prefer the make-your-own-hours contract model to obligation of a fixed-hour in-person position. Of course there are drawbacks, like the lack of health coverage (though I'm Canadian so I'm not sure how this would work in the states exactly), but given the option, I'd still choose the former.

Is this essentially a place where both employers and employee agree to a 35 hour work week, and then they all agree on the compensation differences because of that arrangement... and then if all good, it just magically works?

I wish we move back to the days when most software was like utorrent, notepad++, etc. The standard response to this statement is "but today's software does so much more" - to which I don't agree. As someone who has been using computers since 1994 - including machines which did not have a hard drive - modern software is very very frustrating to use in every way I can think of.
> there needs to be a way of getting paid

You said you worked on the library at Intel. Doesn’t that qualify as getting paid for your work?

That’s not the usual setup when developers talk about getting paid for their OSS contributions, usually off the clock, so its not clear what the lesson is here besides politics/resourcing at big co (which is a real but distinct problem).

This situation was supposed to be where OSS shines - instead of a dedicated team subject to the will of a single private corporation, a project should have multiple contributors, working on their employers’ time - then there is no central team to be disbanded.
The problem is that those marketing blurbs are never just on the front page these days, they're all through the documentation too. So I can't really fault people too much for falling for them.

I'm not sure if this is just a front-end JS thing or if everyone is having this problem, but it seems like the majority of people writing docs aren't doing it to educate their users, they're doing it to proclaim to the world how smart they are with their revolutionary new tool that "makes foo simple" (and by that they mean makes foo easier* by adding complexity), and if the person reading it happens to learn something too that's just a bonus.

*until you colour slightly outside the lines and have to dive into whatever their shit library abstracted away anyway.
A martian’s review of The Martian (2015)
That's great! The wikidata UI could be more compact though.
The price of the Seiko watch was because it was a "luxury" product, not because of the screen. The first gen Kindle went on sale for $399 in November 2007 and had a 6-inch e-ink screen. I don't think the price has come down that much, certainly not as much as other display tech (you can buy a gorgeous 4K TV for that kind of money now).

As I understand it, the main obstacle to cheap e-ink screens is actually licensing.

and yet there's mention of lots of people pressuring him to add new features or fix issues.

So i say, OSS developers should actually have a standard set of ultimatums for all projects ; namely, pay up, or don't get any support that the developer doesn't feel like providing.

Do you work for Apple? Or can they just do no wrong in your eyes?

I think slowing down my phone is pretty relevant and worth telling the user. That's why they got punished for it in the class action lawsuit.

If the repair shop tells you they used a genuine screen, and your phone tells you it can't tell it's genuine or not who do you expect most people are going to trust? I think a good portion of people are going to feel lied to that they didn't put in a genuine screen when they actually did.

Adding an ARIA role only adds the role, you'd then have to add more to name the element (in place of the missing <label>), to put the element in the tab order, and JavaScript event listeners to handle keyboard input correctly. Doing all that is more complex than using a style reset on an input element and even if you do it all correctly, it's less robust.

> overworked and slept very, very little

i would say overwork and no/low pay are the same thing.

If you have a large amount of work being demanded of you by users/companies, then it's time to charge money for the time that would've taken. The charge should be big enough to replace your day job. If it's not, then don't do it, except for any fun bits that you would've already done.
wow interesting, when you say "upper end" it means the effeciency of matter → energy conversion is at the upper end of fusion, or 1kg of anti-matter would have the same power of an upper end fusion?

A few people can structure their lives such that they can get by on passive income in some form- stocks and property are the oldest and most popular form- but it’s impossible to construct an economy where everyone can do that. So that means it’s always going to be a small minority that live that way. There are limits to individual self-liberation. At some point you have to look at reforming the society as a whole to make everyone’s conditions better.

I don’t see how this is enforceable. Fine, I’m only legally allowed to reply to Slack/email, or submit git commits, or do other verifiable tasks related to work within a 35 hour window each week. But I’m passionate about technology and love coding in my spare time (or perhaps I’m just a go-getter), so outside that 35 hour window I hack on the codebase just for fun, or self-study new algorithms/frameworks/technologies related to work. As a result, I work far more efficiently during my legally mandated 35 hours and get promoted faster. Other go-getters on the team also do what I’m doing, and soon the only way to advance in the company is to spend personal time beyond the legally mandated 35 hour window indirectly working on work-related things. Those who don’t do this are seen as underperforming.

As an aside, this is why there’s such a culture of overwork in fields where many workers are extremely passionate about their work, like scientific research, art, and yes, software engineering. When a sizable fraction of researchers are in the lab 80 hours a week because they actually love their science that much, it precludes anyone else from treating the job like a standard 9-5, since the work level expectation is set by those who legitimately enjoy spending long hours on their passion project, and thus don’t consider those 80 hours as “work” at all.
