I've never understood the drive to own my own business.

My parents were both entrepreneurs and it always felt so tenuous and stressful compared to other jobs.

What percentage of small businesses actually end up making you more money than a traditional job? If my parents had worked at Walmart with their business degrees, they would probably be making way more $$ at a much more stable company than if they had run businesses.

Of course, I say this as a person who has been very fortunate to decide on the right degree and career at the right time ( Software Engineer ), and has always been in enough demand to hold a well paying, steady job.

My significant other has a less fun job. She works as a DBA at a museum. Every day I hear a new horror of being tech in a non-tech place. You don't realize how essential agile is until you see what it is trying to solve. [0]

- 0: In my opinion, agile is about forcing stakeholders & product to commit to plans and communicate with tech in a timely manner, in order to avoid blame shifting.
> Because people hate for the homeless and want to punish them, for some reason

It's more, I think, that people hate seeing the homeless, and want to keep them away. They don't particularly care enough to hate them, they just don't want to have to encounter them.
You're assuming malicious intent where none exists. This feature is a security gain for users — previously there was _no way_ to know if your mic was being used. Now there is. It's giving me extra information I can use to make security decisions, where previously I had none of that information.

It's unfortunate it causes problems for some users, hopefully a fix will be forthcoming, but I believe it's an oversight.

The signal to drive these LEDs isn't super complex and any simple MCU can bit bang generate it on a digital output. The bigger limitation is usually memory if you're buffering all the color values to animate them, and to a lesser extent raw processing speed to do more and more complex animations and math.
Professionals who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a live setup are not going to be using the internal I/O of their Macbook/Mac Pro. They're going to have dedicated video output cards that would not be affected by this. Those cards are specifically for having 100% control over the output.

The right call her for Apple is to allow users to give permission to specific apps to disable this but let's not start with the idea that pros are outputting directly from their computers without the right hardware.
This definitely isn't me.

While I want to be able to choose my own insurance because I think I could select a better one, my HSA with my company costs me either $0 or like $2 a month. The PPO is like $100 / month. If I got my own, personal insurance, it would easily be $600/mo.

Now, I can afford this; but people who make less than a software engineer absolutely could not; and, they're not going to be getting an 8k / year raise (taxes) to compensate for that. It'd be nice (edit: if) they were; but, they won't.
Absolutely. It's emulating Electron which is anything but simple. That being said, it should be fairly simple to recompile an Electron app into arm64.

Ubuntu has offered distributions upgrades for years in the Software Updater. It just tells you, you click Install, it takes a while and a few reboots, and then you're updated. I've done it on servers, I've done it on desktops, works fine most of the time. However, I've only hopped one version at a time (16.04 -> 18.04, 18.04 -> 20.04), never multiple at once (16.04 -> 20.04).

Of course, sometimes failures do occur, but that happens whenever you do a major OS upgrade. I've had Windows fail on upgrade more than I've had Ubuntu fail on upgrade, but that's just my experience.

This in comparison to, well, Elementary OS saying scrap it all and reinstall. That wouldn't be so bad if they were, like, a technically-minded distribution - but for their primary market who hardly knows anything about updates, completely unacceptable.

Most plastics are just water and CO2 in various combinations. A few (PVC) have some chlorine, but the vast majority could be burned, or digested by a bacteria, and emit just water and CO2.
There are a lot of guys out there with 2016 era macbooks (cause it still has HDMI) running it into a projector to do visuals at small clubs and things like that.

Maybe some of those guys scraped together enough money to buy one of the new macbooks (since it got HDMI back). Being forced to spend another $200 to get rid of a stupid orange dot would really sting.
step 1: stop making it worse, stop the down spiral
step 2: I have no idea
That's never been a big problem with me. I've never been acquisitive or felt the need to have all of the expensive trappings of my neighbours. It took years, but I figured out what I need and what I don't.

When I do find myself with the urge to keep up with the my neighbours, I stop and ask myself:

1. Do I really need that thing?
2. Will it make me happier or make my life better?
3. What are the longer-term costs (maintenance, depreciation, insurance, etc.)?
4. Is my money better spent elsewhere or just saved?

Trying to keep up with the so-called Joneses is a zero sum game. It won't make you happier. It won't make you a better person. It won't improve your lifestyle. You might just wind up struggling to maintain a life that really isn't yours and isn't for you.

On the contrary, workers need to extract concessions when they are strong, so it's obvious that you'd see this type of legislation proposed only in such times. If workers are already competing for jobs, they can't force corporations to accept anything.
> Our reviewers are all highly qualified, many are maintainers of popular open source projects or work at top tech companies.

Isn’t that potentially a huge problem? What if your reviewers work for my company’s competitors? I don’t want them seeing our code base. Do you have any methods to ensure that doesn’t happen?
This is true in a perfect market, based on Modigliani-Miller theory of capital structure.

In reality, increasing debt to a certain point also increases risk, which in turn increases return on equity.

> If those people had taken public transit instead we would have pumped billions of dollars into Caltrain

This denies the actual reality of the situation in that there was no public transit that was equivalent, the local political power structure is hostile to improved transit, and the power structure is in particular extremely opposed to transit that might be used by tech workers, much less predominantly used by tech workers. During the recent Caltrain electrification battle, there was a large anti-Caltrain political force because it was seen as "for tech workers."

You most definitely can. do-release-upgrade handles all of it but you can change sources and do it the old school way. It's always preferable to reinstall using automation but if it's just a hobbyist server then there's no issue.

You can always move to another job in a while, but unless you're actually being harmed, I'd suggest keeping a journal, paying attention to what things bother you, and then figuring out why they do so. This is a learning opportunity, so you'll make a better choice next time.

3) bioengineer microbes to unmake the plastic

I agree that I should not have used the word "never" in my comment. Thanks for pointing that out. Perhaps "unlikely" would be better. You are correct that sometimes stuff just happens, but after volunteering with a financial counseling program, I do think most people know when they have stopped making payments and most banks make lots of calls and send several letters before they go grab the property. There are exceptions of course, such as third tier used car dealerships which push the laws to the limit to make the repossession happen as quickly as possible. Sadly, people with the most fragile financial situations are much more likely to deal with the most predatory lenders.

Many people living on the edge financially are so stressed that they have trouble prioritizing things in what would seem to be a logical choice to someone on the outside. What is often not understood is that honest (and early) conversations with lenders can frequently lead to adjusted terms to help people get through a difficult period. Without that conversation, they lose transportation access which leads to reduction in job opportunities, and then the whole thing starts to spiral. Very difficult.
> we still face the prospect of having them accumulate for decades or longer in bigger lifeforms and cause problems.

That's not really accurate - if an organism can breakdown (digest) plastic to any extent, it can do so all the way to water and CO2.

There are a few exceptions: Teflon and PVC are the main ones, but most plastic is pretty simple, and once digested it will not accumulate.
I can attest to this because the company I currently work for has the highest turnover I've ever experienced. People are barely making it 8 months, meanwhile the bosses are pushing for faster growth to match our newish funding. That's leading to people who have been here for 2 months hiring _more_ people to replace the people who left at 8 months. Just about every project is suffering from simply not understanding what it does or how it works, which leads to more burn out which causes even more churn. I've never seen the cycle this close before and it really is wild just how bad it can get.
It’s not being recorded, the Audi input is being used to generate reactive video responsive to the audio track.
Sure, but the scales are completely different. Making a telco fully liable for the simjacking itself would result in maybe one thousand dollars of damages due to the administrative hassle, and likely much closer to the story's $80 after the usual lobbying.

I took the comment I responded to as saying that telcos should be on the hook for the banks' losses as well. The bank fraud amounts described in the article are much larger.
So in Apache, you can do something like this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName app.example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/
</VirtualHost>

Then you just need to make the app check if the subdomain is an active account or not.

You're absolutely correct, but as the aircraft is much closer to the ground than the imaging satellite I disregarded it. Spherical cows and all that :) I'm sure a military analyst would do the calculations!
When a crime is effectively decriminalized, your crime numbers that depend on the victimized reporting it become garbage.
Maybe this makes more sense if we view this as involving three parties: Apple, users, and app developers.

On OSX at least, some apps are developed by third parties whose code isn't easily scrutinized by Apple or by end users.

I think Apple's policy helps users navigate that situation pretty well. But I also can't see any good reason to prevent users from disabling that feature in a fine-grained way. E.g. per app and/or temporarily.
Zipstage is a free collaborative audio platform where people can easily create music, stories, discussions, and more with others from anywhere, at any time.
Our tools allow users to record over (multitrack) or branch out (multipath) any content in the platform.

Would you mind sharing with us if you think it would be fun to create music or a story with someone you may not know yet, but who has a similar creative/artistic taste to yours?

Zipstage is the first mobile app I have developed - ever. I would love to hear your sincere opinion about it as far as design, technical implementation, etc.

Let me know in the comments, please.
It goes without saying that severing the employer insurance relationship should come with premiums being pushed back into salaries. What exactly that should look like is a pretty open-ended question, though.
It's their laptop, they are aware that something is capturing their audio input, and they don't want to be reminded of that in this particular instance.

Apple apparently ships a PNG encoder that completely flushes the deflate stream every now and then, giving you additional offsets where you can start decompressing without dependencies on previous data. The offsets are then saved as a separate chunk in the PNG. Decoders aware of this can parallelize decoding using these offsets, everyone else can read it as normal.

The proper solution would of course be to use something more modern than deflate, the PNG format even has a metadata field that specifies the used compression algorithm. But anything but deflate wouldn't be backwards compatible, so nobody seems to use that option.
Beh, I see it as a bonus having had that upbringing and moving on from it. Kind of like an immunization shot. I read a lot of theology and philosophy of religion, frankly, I'm quite religiously literate and my discipline in university was philosophy. But I'm an atheist, or maybe a scientific pantheist of some kind. There's no part of me that is against "asking questions", but part of inquiry is knowing which questions to ask.
Your company has a stated policy, repeated all over the internet, or a 6% yearly desired attrition rate.

Does your team have to align with that? It does not sound like it.

Therefore, your team is an exception to the HR rule. Sounds like you are not typical then.

And this is not an issue of HR policies applied to the "lower classes" of Amazon factory workers. These are HR policies applied to the developer class.

Why are you so short of dozens of SDEs? I would say that is ... 30 or more? Because you can't hire them through your LUDICROUS hiring process? Because you've "desired attritioned" so many? Why are you so short of developers? Ask yourself that.

How old is your team? What is the tenure of your coworkers? What is your turnover? How long have you been at your job? How many developers have you seen turned over? If you're short "dozens" of people, how does your team function? Do they just overwork you? If the team is functioning with 24+ shortfalls, why would Amazon fill them?

Yes, working everywhere in the modern world is all corporate shit to some degree. Maybe you feel comfortable now, but your team can get reorg'd. Your boss may move on, and you'll get a new boss. Then all of a sudden a tech problem makes you look bad.
I’d guess if you have fields in that area, seeing a B-2 over them is routine.
The title intrigued me because it _is_ something I agree with. Speaking as a mostly frontend dev, it's been easy to experience a breadth of innovation and new programming/deployment paradigms. Lots of interesting rabbit holes to go down. However, I have trouble agreeing with some of the content from the author.

> Learning materials are almost unlimited

This is something that's hard to argue against. We do indeed have an astounding number of paid/free resources. However, I feel we have some serious challenges ahead of us, though. Trusting the resource is relevant and up to date is harder than ever. It's easier to navigate if you're an experienced dev, but sifting through the plethora of resources can cause more friction than not. To me this point begs the question -- is endless "free" information a feature of new web development frontier? To me it seems this is both a blessing and curse; furthermore, it's not exclusive to web development. Many fields have a glut of information, but the challenge is navigating through good/bad content.

> Frameworks are lifting each other up

I don't find any evidence cited in the article that frameworks are lifting each other up. To me, it's an arms race and it has become more cutthroat as framework developers have realized that they can build businesses on top of them. It does create competition to attract devs concerned about UX/DX and innovation.

Some of the best frameworks in the space IMO (Astro and Redwood for example) buck the trend framework/vendor lock-in, but the author only mentioned frameworks clearly focused on platform adoption.

> CSS is a solved problem

Hard disagree. CSS, the language, itself has gotten much better over the years. Tailwind in not the winner and you should expect that once a new hot CSS framework becomes available, all of the Tailwind hype-crew will disappear and you'll be stuck maintaining/refactoring it away.

Further, Tailwind today is not for everyone. It's not silver bullet. There is still innovation and trustworthy solutions in the space (CSS in JS, CSS Modules), but IMO CSS is an evolving language and not simply a solved problem. Avoiding writing CSS does not solve the problem.

> GitHub Copilot

I think it goes without saying that YMMV on this one. There are still many unknowns and mixed reviews on this one to say if it's a net benefit to building websites. It certainly created some conversation/controversy, but it's not really fair to say that GitHub Copilot make building websites any better. I'm still on hold as to the benefits on this one.

> Content management is limitless

No doubt there are more players in the space, but the author clearly stated bias. I'm glad that these options exist; however, I don't have enough knowledge to say what the limits are. Headless CMSs solve certain problems and may not help or be useful in building many different kinds of websites.
