Does a second generation remote work ecosystem/strategy suddenly restore a social community of people you consistently spend 8 hours a day collaborating with? The only difference between first and second gen workers is that second/third gen might be more likely to be born in some random place because first gen wanted low CoL. Is hanging out with highschool buddies forever because in remote world you never leave your hometown supposed to be the replacement for second/third gen remote workers?

> Tech, or any mega corp, can't have such an intention

I don't care what corporations' intentions are, I think the reality is that this is America's last community that remote work will destroy and the tech industry is struggling against it.

> Most of those folks we can make at a workplace are affiliates, acquaintances, not friends.

Most of everyone I meet won't be such close friends. The workplace is one of the few guaranteed places left for adults to consistently meet people who they didn't just grow up with. If the worst indictment of workplace friends is that most of them won't lend me $20k, well, I'll just have to live with that. I'll have to remove our social interactions from the record because they don't meet the required level of friendship.

> Of course there will be people who try to scam others into it. But how is this different from anything else in life?

Because unlike everything else, crypto has been designed from the ground up such that society is unable to rectify the bad elements.

> Again, I don't see anyone "marketing" for it. People should understand what they're working with before selling their houses and "investing it" in bitcoin ffs. If they do that then they're dumb!

Aaaand there it is. A slightly longer form of “DYOR”. If you go around evangelizing something that turns out to be damaging, you’re not absolved of all responsibility simply because you add “not investment advice”. If people who promote crypto really didn’t intend it as investment advice, they wouldn’t say anything. The whole point is that maybe other people will pump your bags. And if it all goes sideways, then you can always point at “not investment advice” because the vast majority of promoters and traders don’t understand the first thing about what a blockchain is, much less “tokenomics” or smart contract code (and exploits).

You may be an expert, and not in it to get rich quick. But you’re naive if you can’t see that the huge majority around you are in it for very different reasons.
Hoarding is a mental illness
Who needs persuasion? For what? To protect the elderly and sick people? Haven't they all got the chance already to protect themselves? Then why should anyone be forced (or persuaded) to take it?

Oh and again, and "infection", often determined by a positive pcr test, doesn't mean you "have covid", or are sick at all. Expecially with young people today we should be glad they all get infected with a variant that doesn't make them sick. It's what virusses do after all, they mutate and get more viral and less deadly. Great news, let's party and infect each other so that everybody makes anti-bodies so that we achieve herd immunity and protect the elderly and the weak during winter.

That is science.

For some more clarification: In The Netherlands for the last couple of weeks there have been about 200 covid patients lying in the about 300 hospitals we have here. Less than one covid patient per hospital.

That maybe true but also no one thought their streaming idea was going anywhere either. I worked with telco/cable execs (comcast, verizon et al) back then, who would laugh at Netflix posing an issue. The internet wasnt cheap or fast in most parts of the world and content was locked up. But now we have blockbusters and live sports streaming that they used to categorically say would never happen.

They might well fail in gaming or they might kill off the never ending amount of ads on Android gaming or cause Apple to hand over more cash to game devs. The only thing certain in this uncertain world is competition keeps everyone on their toes. And thats not always bad.

The problem is that if a company uses its name and charges the same amount as it’s other services there is an inbuilt level of expectation which leads to disappointment.

Personally I can’t think of a single application that couldn’t be better in some way.

The solution to this would be to temper peoples expectations and host these types of projects under a different domain that clearly explains that the project is very early in production. Providing an opportunity to give feedback would also make people feel more involved in the projects and give projects that have no clear vision some guidance.
This is a super undeveloped idea, but I was thinking about something along these lines:

1. OSS users pay a monthly premium for insurance on the software (incl transient dependencies) that is critical to their business.

2. Part of the cash flow from premiums is pooled into an insurance fund that pays interest to OSS developers. The rest is payed out directly to OSS devs.

3. If there is a bug in an insured OSS project, policy holders have a claim on the pool. The magnitude of the claim depends on the severity of the bug and the time it remains open. Future payouts to the OSS project with the bug are directed to the fund until the payed out insurance benefit is covered.

The hardest part is coming up with a decentralized consensus mechanism for establishing the existence, severity and resolution of bugs, but there is a lot of experimentation going on in DeFi to solve similar problems.

As to why it should be decentralized, it's the same reason OSS is decentralized: you don't want a single actor to control OSS funding.

edit: wording
That's why I'm hoping they'll stick to retaining the option—though knowing Apple, they'll probably axe that, too.

I personally prefer the compact design, but I also understand people being confused over it or just not liking it. Giving people the option serves both groups.
Quite the contrary, ORMs in general are less performant. Using ORMs boils down to two things, convenience and the ability to switch the underlying RDBMS. (For example all the OSS which says you can choose between MySQL, Postgres or SQLite.)

But if you support all RDBMS you only can support the smallest intersection between them and can't use advanced features like CTE, window functions, JSON support etc.
2030: Browsers tab bars take half of the vertical space of the screen
> Even in the "real world" overly complex and distributed supply chains are a source of problems - and much the same problems as sprawling dependency trees: They are the cause of unnecessary environmental pollution (by shipping components around the world for purely financial or organisational reasons), they decrease transparency (because it's difficult to understand what kind of companies at the very end of the supply chains actually produce your parts) and they introduce risk of failure.

Such as pertinent real world parallel. Although, it seems that today, the global supply chain seems to be suffering from a "leftpad" issue when it comes to electronics as a few factories in Taiwan and South Korea produce chips used almost everywhere, and some of the factories are in trouble for various reasons.
How to install and use the Symfony Bundle for Code Execution Monitoring
This is a fact that is often absolutely overlooked. History class does not give you space for proper historical, sociological perspective or mostly anything broader than sheer facts and narrative. I can not recommend this book enough:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Logic_of_Political_Surviva...
Yep, we'll have to agree to disagree.

One reason I disagree is that Dota (and Starcraft 2) are both games of imperfect information (more like Poker than Chess or Go).

That means a lot of the time, the game revolves around deception and subterfuge. If you've ever had to hunt down an enemy splitpusher and have to decide between spending 10s checking a hiding place and having a chance at getting a potentially game-winning kill, but also having a chance of not finding them and wasting your time, you'll know what I'm talking about. There's no optimal strategy, because all strategies have weaknesses to be exploited (e.g. In BW, if Terran knows you as Protoss always go greedy such as 12 Nexus, they can punish you with BBS. However if you play safe, they can play greedy themselves with 14CC, so there are a lot of mindgames.)

After AlphaZero's victories or DeepBlue's for that matter, professional Go and Chess players could find no weaknesses. Nada.

After OpenAi 5 became available, a professional player compiled a list of 20 weaknesses that I'm not certain OpenAI can ever fix (see link above). How do you tell the neural net when to dust or ward?

The same story with DeepMind's AlphaStar. Despite playing a good macro game, players online have figured out lots of ways to cheese it (e.g. send just one unit will cause all workers to be pulled and stop mining). I understand Poker's been "solved", but these computer games with much larger action spaces and imperfect information might turn out to be significantly harder to pin down than Chess or Go. There are enough edgecases that it's a much better representation of real life problems like self-driving cars (negotiating a merge for example).
> I wrote a script to scrape my course materials when I was at uni, it was that bad

I'm sorry, but YouTube is a much less harmful platform than Twitter. YouTube can facilitate multi-hour long discussions and deep dives into issues with nuance. That doesn't mean that all content on there is nuanced, but the ability for it to exist automatically elevates the platform above Twitter...for which the whole problem is clearly a lack of nuance and depth.

Do this on a brand new MacBook (or for a bigger challenge, try it on a MacBook that already has a bunch of Python development tools installed). Count how many Google searches you need to make before you have a reproducible and isolated development environment you can share with a junior teammate.
For me, mostly work issues. While I find pot is great for interpersonal relationship building, I've struggled with the following while smoking and running a startup:

* I can't prioritize tasks properly (both within work and outside e.g. fitness)

* I become passive as a leader, which isn't good leadership

* I evaluate situations based on emotional resonance rather than factual data

There are more, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind. These led to bad decisions, poor productivity, and ultimately hurting my trust with the team.

I hope Netflix can repeat their success from their movie streaming service by growing, supporting and maybe buying some indie devs. There is certainly a space between the $10-15 games and the $60+ games that has been explored in multiple ways but that has never really taken off. Maybe a subscription service can establish that space.

> I am saying we don't have the map that we need to solved the shortest path problem, and we have no way to get that map.

of course we do, connectivity graph and updates to it are gossiped all the time and each node has imperfect representation of it.

> we have routing protocols to do so for the internet. We do not have one for the Lightning network that works at scale.

we do, lightning nodes do that all the time right now.

> there will only be a small number of very large hubs. Nothing else actually works in practice.

again, you're making a statement without backing it up by anything.

your entire argument boils down to: if a node can't have perfect information about connectivity graph, then it can't perfectly route payments.

and you're right, that statement is true, but it is irrelevant because imperfect routing through imperfect connectivity graph is fine and works great.
Once a battery is in thermal runaway it will keep heating up, oxygen or no oxygen. Putting the battery in an oxygen-low environment would stop the flames but not the heat. You'd still be sat there waiting for the batteries to be done reacting before you can reintroduce oxygen.

Which is why firefighting battery fires is such an irksome thing. You can douse the battery and get the flames out, but hours to even days later the battery can have collected enough heat to reignite spontaneously.
Even the most gullible among us don't fall into the conspiracy theory trap by reading 140 characters (I hope).

> I'm now trying to teach them JavaScript, webpack, TypeScript, React, ESLint, ... Help them resolve dependency issues. Explain bundlers, the various different module systems ... the list just keeps getting longer!

I think teaching people all that, all at once is the actual problem, not that all those systems are not impeccable (which they aren't). Maybe as developers we should figure out what are the things that are truly important, and draw the line at that, and then treat the rest as optional.

I truly wish that things we do are simpler, but they are not going to get better by wishing. But even that is not my biggest grief, it's that the pain is often self inflicted. Developers love using everything possible and making everything into something they can't live without (in part because it's a way to look down on people that don't know or use something), but it's not true. So, ESLint is a great tool, but a beginner does not need to know about it. I think you do need to suffer a bit before you can appreciate a tool like that. Webpack is a... well, it does things that we need, but a beginner does not actually need to know what goes on when they run their dev server.

Slim things down and it's fine as long as they're still doing the real thing. Kids don't go to school and start with the square root of a negative number. They don't even teach them what a negative number is.
> I personally make a big chunk of my money from oil & gas, I recognize that oil & gas for transportation should die, but I know we need oil & gas for materials at the moment (but should reduce, reduce and reduce the use as fast as possible).

I've been thinking about that recently, and was wondering if not accepting a job in """bad""" industries (bad is a gross oversimplification here covering things like oil, gas, tobacco, weapons, these kind of things) is in fact running away from your duty. If you don't take a job in these industries, other people will, and these people may be worse than you. Maybe the best moral option is to in fact try as hard as you can to get an influencial position in the industry to promote energy transition, reduce harm from smoking, etc.

I apologize again for the oversimplification of grouping together these different industries, my point here is to group what people think usually as "morally bad", not to pass judgment on people who work in those industries.

Plus my experience is that my storage consumption increases more or less linearly whereas drive capacity is more exponential. I don’t see much of a reason to go beyond 4k for videos (that’s already way more than one can perceive on most screen formats, except perhaps for multiplex cinemas). And I am not sure of what is the point of a 100MP camera. You can find 18TB drives now. Very quickly the rationale for replacing drives won’t be that you run out of space but that they become old and too dangerous to keep around, or that you want the performance of SSDs, when they reach this level of price/GB.

Looking at Monet's paintings (mentioned in another comment) it seems to me that haystacks were similar in France (and thus probably throughout Europe).

Dependency count isn’t a good measure because different ecosystems have different default sizes to split something out.

I mean… it’s easy to complain right?

Everyone wants a free ride: beautiful modern UI, fast, easy to use, cross platform, free.

If it’s so bad, why is it getting worse?

…because people like free stuff, and no one actually wants either a) a crappier (but better tooled) solution or b) to pay for a better solution.

Its not that no one cares about these hard problems… it’s just that no one actually cares enough to be more than complain about it for free.

It is what it is.

The chances that it will magically resolve itself without a major shift in how developers build things is zero.

The problem isn’t the frameworks.

It’s that people use them.
Some crypto like Dogecoin sure. However, some crypto is bets on tech - e.g. those that try to achieve something like DEXs or synthetic assets - not that different than investing in stock or startups.
