Usability; and I hope I indicated clearly that it was a personal detestation over an objective claim :)

for what little it's worth: Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, Google Chat, let alone messengers of yore like ICQ, MSN, AIM, etc all allow me to create a userID & password on computer and use them from any device of my choosing, as well as change/transfer/obsolete devices seamlessly.

Whatsapp is bound to my phone number and device, and its experience with multi-device is.... actively hostile. My preference is to not type messages on a 1.5" keyboard, but rather on any number of ergonomic keyboards and devices I use around the house and work. Whatsapp is simply prohibitive for my usage, and for positively no actual (as opposed to theoretical/principled) benefit whatsoever. I've pulled what little hair I have trying to use it, but the 27th time it locked my account for using too many devices (Oh noes! I have a phone, tablet AND a laptop? Crazy me:), I gave up.

(privacy wise, also, my phone number is one of the more private and static pieces of identifying information I own; I guard it carefully and I have no idea why I need to expose it to everybody I want to communicate with, as opposed to anonymous and disposable userID or even email).

I did not mean to turn this into anti-whatsapp rant though; Many other E2EE-focus services are similar. Whatsapp just happens to be wildly popular and, for my use-case, completely and actively impractical :-/

Indeed, if you're "keeping score" with compensation with your peers, colleagues, and friends, it might not be the healthiest thing to do, but I get it.

If you're "keeping score" in compensation with your life partner, that seems deeply unhealthy. I'd love for my partner to make some multiple of what I make; we could retire that much earlier.
If that's fairly common it doesn't seem like a great setup? Why not automatically run the tests beforehand?

And presumably there is no need for a staging env, since your code is deployed to production as soon as it has passed tests.

That's the definition used to calculate the percentage cited by the person I was replying to. Don't get me wrong I don't doubt it's a useful diagnostic tool in the hand of professional. It's just that the threshold for mild symptoms make it somewhat useless for a statical point of view from my point of view.

As far as I know, self-reporting is considered a poor tool to study addiction anyway because addicts are the least likely to agree to answer questions about their consumption or tend to lie.

Betteridge's law[1] of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older.[1][2] The adage fails to make sense with questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions.

Sure, but 90% of the locks people use are the same few locks. Any padlock or door lock you can get at a hardware store is one that a good lock picker has experience with.

Your point is valid for certain high-security situations, though.
I'm guessing your an iPhone user.

It's not an excuse, but I've seen other people on iOS have similar problems.

Both of these issues do not exist on Android versions of Signal.
I don't quite understand the "lack of Scrum in large companies" when they all seem to Plan-Ship-Build. That is pretty much the high level description of Scrum isn't it?

Sure Scrum has some ceremonies, but these are basically planning and retrospective for improvements, so again, not really any different.

At the end of the day, most of the ways I have worked end up with Tickets/PBIs/Stories and you work through them. The only major difference is how much in-advance these are specified and to what detail.
I understand the problem but then shouldn't also videogames (for instance) be controlled/regulated? They also provide high-swings in emotions coupled with almost real virtual world that can mimic much more vividly experiences that could lead to high-addiction.

Another reason for div blobs is that HTML is not a language to describe GUI applications rather documents.

So one ends up with a soup of divs, made pretty with CSS and then replicate the behaviour of a beatiful dropdown fully in JavaScript, ignoring the browser builtin infrastructure.

Naturally because this breaks down in every browser, it is then extended with hacks for every corner case.
Well said. It is frustrating with the "everything is an emergency" mindset at some companies. I far along in my career that I just let it slide off but others aren't. We had a potential customer that was definitely going to sign a contract on Monday so another engineer spent all weekend getting a new rack mount computer all set up. That was four weeks ago and no one has heard anything from them. The bosses think they they are helping to keep everyone motivated and moving forward but they don't get how bad it is for morale. Everything can't be most important.
More cynically, this is the path to selling consulting and training services.

For recurring events, you absolutely need to know the TZ. You have teams in the Bay Area and London (common for many tech companies). You are in SF and have a recurring meeting with London on Monday mornings. The meeting today (Sep 27) is at 10AM, or 6PM London time. At what time will the meeting be on Nov 1?

I would argue most governments at a point start looking more pseudo-anarchic due to how departments often compete with each other for resources without much in the way of a referee even if you factor in the secretary or under-secretary level positions. So the command in command economy is largely just giving general directives that rarely amount to much unless the underlying organizations know how to play well with each other.
Second sentence from json.org: "It is easy for humans to read and write."
"Just imagine there are people, many of whom are probably reading this too, whose job it is to artificially recreate or induce this dark and destructive part of dopamine stimulation/addiction for profit with callous regard for human mental health, that exists in each and every one of us"
If that were the case, you would see some difference in the performance metric on tests.

> That doesn't seem to be Durovs goal.

completely disagree, he is definitely focused on making telegram some huge IT project that would put him on the same level as great IT entrepreneurs of our time. The whole TON project was all about making tons of money from becoming the main beneficiary from first decentralized consumer economy. It's a mystery how he is going to achieve anything similar now, but that goal was so ambitious, it's unlikely he will settle for something as small as this

let's use 2017 as a reference
https://www.statista.com/statistics/268604/annual-revenue-of...
https://www.statista.com/statistics/264810/number-of-monthly...

so it had an annual revenue of $20 per user, and your assumption is a mere $10 max(likely lower), that's extremely low for someone like Durov
Before defining technicalities, which are of course even more complicated, we should ask ourselves if we want to work this way. It would get a clear 'no' from me. Also the worker doesn't profit in any way if he works faster. Sure, there is very like some form of bonus, but in the end throughput doesn't matter to him. So why the haste?
Raw renewable share:

Month August,September

2021: 52%,40%

2020: 48%,44%

2019: 46%,48%

2018: 38%,41%

The thing about gas is that you can store it. If August produces too much you can use less gas in August and use it in September. If you take both months they average to 46% which is the same as 2020. 10% less renewables in this specific month isn't enough to cause price explosions especially when the previous month had been at an all time high.

This entire comment section is maybe the clearest example I have seen in a long time of why so many other industries outside of tech kind of look at the tech scene as a amoralistic dumpster fire.

I never used to see the value of trying to include humanities as a part of a tech degree until a few years ago and now I think it can't happen fast enough.

So many of the arguments presented here wouldn't pass any kind of a 101 level class.
Yes, when you look at phenomena in retrospect, you can decide that all kinds of things are the sole unique cause of other things that happened afterwards

In general, it's very easy, starting with a model and a bunch of phenomena, to explain why all the phenomena fit the model, regardless of what the model is. This is why we care about things like randomized controlled trials or recording when a hypothesis fails to predict a result in science

It's also ridiculous to claim that monetary investment in a context that does have a strong concept of IP demonstrates that it creates more innovation: My whole argument is that the value of IP is to hoard it in order to make money, and companies invest in things that produce it because it will make them money. Given the financial incentives involved, it is vacuously true that this will happen under the current laws, and this has no bearing on whether this is more efficient or produces or encourages innovation

In software, a considerable amount of innovation does happen in FOSS, and gets re-used in industry to build products. This just doesn't get captured as said technologies (libraries, drivers, etc) turning a profit themselves because again, the laws as they currently exist do strongly incentivize, with money, doing things the way the most profitable corporations in this space do it, tautologically

Intel contributing to FOSS is a great example of why a company would care about FOSS even in the absence of IP: Intel sells, first and foremost, a physical good that it has invested considerably in infrastructure to produce, which involves a supply chain, equipment, and material expertise that is expensive and difficult to replicate, much less at the scale that lowers their costs. Without software, that physical product would be of little value to most people, but without patents on the chips, Intel would still be able to manufacture and sell chips and turn a profit
> you give one of these to your AirBNB guests or a building maintenance worker or something, and if you get your keys back, you can be reasonably confident that they didn't make any copies.

This seems to be a fairly useless reassurance. If you trust your AirBnB guest so little that you think they might reasonably make copies and distribute your key to unsavory people, then just the single key floating around out there is enough to compromise your security.
Assuming GP is talking about Von-Mises style criticism of command economies, it's not computational tractability, it's information tractability.

The problem isn't that you don't know whether action A results in N units of X, it's that you don't know if the aggregate preferences are such that it's optimal to produce N units of X or M units of Y.
Massive “citation needed” here. I very seriously doubt this headline is true and almost certainly includes every company who ever said “oh sure we’re looking at blockchain” before spending 5 minutes looking and then realizing it provides them no benefit over existing technologies.
Sun was already doing that with OpenStep, hence why Java has interfaces (protocols), a dynamic model quite similar to Smalltalk (which got to profit form StrongTalk and SELF research) and J2EE started its life as an Objective-C framework.

It was the lack of understanding with NeXT that made it fall apart and eventually Oak made into Java.

> The question for me is: Does a more inclusive, compassionate, considered world view help people to help others in some small way?

The more important question is: what happens to people that they lose their compassionate worldview in the first place? Or are you telling me that you've never heard the contagious laughter of a baby who is lovingly cradled, or played with, by a caregiver/parent?

"The radical therapist David Smail argues that Margaret Thatcher's view that there's no such thing as society, only individuals and their families, finds "an unacknowledged echo in almost all approaches to therapy". Therapies such as cognitive behaviour therapy combine a focus on early life with the self-help doctrine that individuals can become masters of their own destiny. The idea is "with the expert help of your therapist or counsellor, you can change the world you are in the last analysis responsible for, so that it no longer causes you distress" – Smail calls this view "magical voluntarism".

Depression is the shadow side of entrepreneurial culture, what happens when magical voluntarism confronts limited opportunities. As psychologist Oliver James put it in his book The Selfish Capitalist, "in the entrepreneurial fantasy society," we are taught "that only the affluent are winners and that access to the top is open to anyone willing to work hard enough, regardless of their familial, ethnic or social background – if you do not succeed, there is only one person to blame." It's high time that the blame was placed elsewhere. We need to reverse the privatisation of stress and recognise that mental health is a political issue."

No the real issue is government having a monopoly on money, and the money supply, combined with not having any actual constitutional limits on spending.

Spending is the root cause problem here.

I have used Signal for many years as well, I am now trying to move away from it because while the security is nice, it lacks a good backup/restore mechanism. All the critical data I recieved or sent on it is encrypted and even with the same number and pin it can't "merge" or import specific backups! The thick log that broke the camel's back for me was having to keep an android phone specifically for Signal usage because you can't import android backups on iPhones. Somehow they have resources to create a cryptocoin and other features I have no use for but basic reliability needs, at least for me is not met by this app.

I would like to say to each his own but the nature of communication apps makes them useless if others don't also use it. The typical response I get for this is some form of whataboutism. I will just use whatever else I find for now until they figure out a way to monetize it and care about user needs (such as not mandating phone numbers and being able to register the same number on multiple devices so I can use it on iPhone for example without stopping android usage) or some other app like threema will gain popularity like Signal.

> Putting diplomatic pressure to stop relying on Russian gas

Economic sanctions and legal threats towards executives of any companies working on the project go a bit further than diplomatic pressure. It's probably the closest things to an act of war you can do without doing one.

Interfering in the international dealing of a foreign country can definitely be seen as sabotage. I personally stoped viewing the USA as an ally of the EU after this intervention. But to be fair I already had serious doubt after they crippled our diplomatic efforts in Iran.

One of the bests parts about working at a faang is we don't do scrum or stand ups. Everyone shares timelines ahead of a project, and they run with the execution, flag if there are any blockers or need help. Saves so much time without the extra overhead.
I think there is a huge difference if you are subjected to a test once or twice and permanently working under such surveillance.
This is just branching, except your branch is in a different repo. You just call the branch downstream/master and your local master, instead of the more common origin/yourbranch and your local yourbranch.

For the rest the merging issues are identical. You can still have a merge conflict between downstream/master and origin/master if someone merged something conflicting into origin/master since the fork happened.

3 clicks is more friction than you can imagine. It should be very visible (on the top or bottom bar) and definitely should be 1 click. It could mean 100 installs vs 100k installs differences.
Parental supervision is just a means of externalizing the societal costs of the platform onto the parents. How about building a product that isn't a net negative to society in the first place?
Maybe it needs a system where the account locks if there isn't occasional parental monitoring. Then the kids would be the ones encouraging their parents to check. Maybe the parent has to take a selfie for facial verification or something.
Sounds like your tests are to detail orientated.

Tests should test a specific business goal. You know what the goal is before you write any tests right? Otherwise why are you writing any code?

It's interesting to me how many people are ready to lap up this data, what's more surprising is these people aren't journalists but some weirdly named think tanks.

> The tradeoff, as you experienced, is time.

This is true, but it's not the tradeoff most people think. It's not "this way is better but takes more time", it's "spend time now vs. spend time later."

In my experience, you will always spend the time. Spending it earlier can be difficult when you're on a tight schedule which is driving the process, but you'll always spend at least as much time later.

"We started this project to address an important problem seen across our industry: kids are getting phones younger and younger, misrepresenting their age, and downloading apps that are meant for those 13 or older."

Just because kids have access (which is mostly on Parents to blame), you want to add another app in the name of "it is kid friendly". I can only lol at this. Seriously, I don't criticize such harshly in general but as a parent of young kids, I would rather have Instagram be honest and say "We want to make more money and Kids under 13 are a great target nowadays".

I am very open with kids having access to things in a moderate way. We allow them to watch movies/TV or even Ipad etc but restricted. I believe that the more you stop kids, they more they want to do it. One exception we will make will be Social Media. What a cesspool it is and there is no way I am allowing my underage kids to do Instagram or FB or whatever. I will fight hard to keep them away from the toxicity of Social Media. Some things they won't understand and you need to protect them from it regardless. The good thing is both my wife and I hardly use Social Media if any. So that hopefully will be an example for kids but I know that may not be enough considering other kids in their school may be doing it and there will be peer pressure. Ah well, I am ready to fight that.
Kids won't use Instagram for kids.

The most exciting part of this, to me, is that Twitter is using the Lightning network for "tips" (personally I hate calling it a tip: kudos, boost, or almost any other word would have been better). The folks at Podcasting 2.0 have been using the Lightning network for the last year as a way of monetizing podcasts real-time (sats/minute) and through "boosts" (like Twitter's tip concept but with a far better name) and has been a rousing success for those who have gotten on board.
