They are proposing that the amount of work on a worker's plate at any one point in time should be reduced so they aren't always stressing about their backlog. They are not proposing that workers have less to do overall (otherwise, their claim of "increased productivity" is incoherent). The action from management would then be to organize the queuing and distribution of tasks and projects to shield workers from the administrative burden of recording an prioritizing it as it's launched at them via email or Slack. This is pretty basic work that I expect a manager to do.
Yes. They are, by the plain meaning of the words, a minority player in mobile phone sales globally by a HUGE margin. The most recent data for 2021 suggest that sales for last were split pretty evenly in the US, but overall usage still heavily favors Android.

They DO have a much bigger footprint in some desirable segments of that market, but overall they're a minority player. By definition, minority players do not enjoy any monopolistic power. They are under no obligation to give up any competitive advantage until and unless they exhibit true, market-manipulating monopolistic behavior.
That is how it works though. If my money is only allowed to be used to generate renewable energy, then it doesn't matter how the power that comes to my house was generated. Energy is energy. If everyone does what I do, then no one will be left to fund nonrenewable energy. But the only way that would happen is if the cost of nonrenewable energy went up proportional to the damage it causes via a carbon tax.

And banning crypto mining is impossible. It's arbitrary math. You can't ban a computer from doing arbitrary math. At best you could discourage businesses taking crypto as payment, but even then people can operate 100% in crypto and avoid any regulations.

I think you really need to stop speaking on behalf of average users.

Because all of the reports over the many years show that users know that a blue bubble indicates that this message is only going to be readable by other iPhones. And that a green bubble indicates it has fallen back to SMS and will incur a cost.

This whole blue message bullying narrative is because users very much are knowledgable into what is happening at a technical level.
Turns out the military is solidly 20-25 years behind the cypherpunks and the EFF, and the failure to set the stage at a higher level has lead to ready exploits.
The memory arguments are valid, but I don't think I've ever once had an Electron application crash on me. Contrasted with older native applications that would crash on a weekly basis.
I’ll rephrase to clear misunderstandings. A legal warrant was obtained and federal agents attempted to exercise that warrant. Whilst attempting to carry out the warrant a gun battle ensued in which 4 federal agents were killed and 7 or so members of the cult were killed. After 51 days federal agents stormed the compound and quite a few people including children died.

All of the blame rests on the people in charge of the cult. Nothing they did was moral or justifiable. A government should have the power to exercise legally obtained warrants. Otherwise it is a useless government.
> yet another competing platform

People are advocating for the opposite. Make apple stop using their anti-competitive market to harm alternative messaging apps.

> If iMessage was cross platform, it’s just another messaging app.

No, it is just as good, and better if it is forced to be cross platform.

You lose nothing, and everyone else gains, when anti-competitive markets are made to support alternatives.

> If you want secure cross platform messaging

Or, instead of that, we could use anti-trust law, against Apple to force them to be less anti-competitive, and allow other people to integrate with it. Problem solved.
Maybe in eth land, if you don’t run a fullnode. And that speaks to moxies recent post about centralization.

I’m talking about Bitcoin, and you better believe I run a fullnode. No provider required. I recommend you run a Bitcoin full Node too, and transact without any 3rd parties!
Stand-ups in general are cancerous enough to warrant an outright ban. That way, if you do have them they have to be conducted clandestinely and very quickly.
How long ago was that? There used to be a bug related to that, but disabling iMessage on your device before you switch off would resolve it. Not obvious, I know. I'm unsure if that's still a thing or if I'm even remembering it correctly.

Node and Electron and crew would agree.

A "modern" chat client (Element, Signal, etc) will lag on a quad core 1.5GHz system in terms of "typing into the text input box" (RasPi4, yes, I've set the governor to performance), when a single core 66MHz 486 could manage that trick without any lag in a range of chat clients. Hexchat still works fine, at least.

What we need to do is stop letting developers use high end, modern systems, and put them on something a decade old for daily use. Then maybe they'll stop writing crap that only works well on a 1-2 year old Xeon workstation. Google, I'm looking at you. Buy all your devs a Pi4 and make them use it once a week for a day.

I think, there are different aspects of quality. What you are referring to is the increased adoption of unit standardized techniques (unit tests, abstractions, continuous integration, etc). What the OP was referring to is the reduced understanding by the developers of why they are using each technique, and increased leanings towards just copy-pasting something from StackOverflow, or blindly cargo-culting something that a neighboring team does.

It is somewhat similar to all other economies of scale. Like AdWords, where you are one click away of being connected to thousands of ad publishers, but if the algorithm says "no", you get banned and will never get a chance to talk to a person. Like modern electronics where you can buy a device assembled in Philippines from parts made in China and designed in the U.S. for a fraction of a price of making it locally, but if a single $0.08 capacitor blows up, you're stuck throwing the entire thing out because the pipeline is not optimized for repairs.
At one point I seriously considered self-hosting a Rocket Chat [1] instance for very similar reasons. It seems to have a good balance of features, moderation controls, and polish while still being pretty straight-forward to host.

The main challenge I ran into was, of course, convincing folks to use it (instead of the "easier" forms of communication that they already had....).

Interesting that the Unix command line is still just as functional and useful as it was 40 years ago and yet the UI frameworks have been thrown away and replaced every 2 or 3 years. My personal experience with UI has been Openwindows, X/Motif, Java, HTML/CSS, pLain old Javascript, ExtJS, jQuery, Dojo, Angular - various incompatible versions, and React. Glad I finally got to retire!

I built omnistreams[0] primarily because of the lack of backpressure in browser WebSockets (lots of background information and references in that README). It's what fibridge[1] is built on. We've been using it in production for over 2 years, but I never ended up trying to push omnistreams as a thing. I believe the Rust implementation is actually behind the spec a bit, and the spec itself probably needs some work.

At the end of the day I think RSocket is probably the way to go for most people, though the simplicity of omnistreams is still appealing to me.

EDIT: I just learned about WebSocketStreams[2] from another comment[3] and sounds like they may solve the backpressure issue natively.

>> why not just a structured and standardized JSON API?

So in this version of the idea... because structuring data requires work. Unstandardized data exists already. Some of it is already SQLITE. A lot of the rest is in other SQLs, and that might be a smaller bridge.

Author claims (if I'm understanding correctly) that a static website could easily query sqlites over HTTP, and bam, web 3.0.

Honestly, it's hard for me to think/discuss these ideas without examples, even if contrived. What kind of websites would be built this way? What data will they be querying?

A web app that uses photos and address books on the users phone? An alternative UI for news.yc?

They should have the same liability as to anyone which interacts with the company or organizations, including patients outcomes in hospitals. If a patients get infected by a sick doctor or nurse, the fault is at the employer who allowed that situation from happening.

Every person who get injured at work is to some degree harmed by the company that allowed that injury to occur. This is why companies has insurance to deal with that. If vaccinations is required for the job then getting vaccinations is by definition work, should happen during paid hours, and any adverse effects dealt with as with any other work related adverse effects.

The four-day workweek is intriguing. I worked for the American Red Cross for a year shortly after college. My boss there was excellent and flexible with my work schedule. I was able to leave early to run track with a coach, and then come back in and finish up any work I still had. It made me much more productive and they got way more work from me than if I had to be there all day, every day. More companies should trust their employees to get the work done.
It would be very good to include this in a future release of TeXLive.
Disregarding the voice and video requirements, a private Minecraft server or Realm is a pretty decent space for kids to hang out and let their creativity run wild.

10 or so years ago when Minecraft was coming out of beta, I was a precocious enough child to run a server on some spare hardware lying around the house. (Realms wasn't a thing until like 2014)

Good times were had between my friends and I, but that all changed after I started becoming intoxicated by the power. Whoops.

Give it a try, but I advise against giving a literal child the ability to ban people. I would know.

No, I’m saying if you have 10 hours to do something that can be done in 5, but is optimally done in 6.5, take 6.5 hours and use the remaining 3.5 to do something useful.

> This is supposed to be a technical community so can we stop with this lazy abuse of terminology.

Since this is a technical community, and you're a technical person who presumably knows how iMessage / Apple's infrastructure works, can you explain if this is correct:

- I'm an iPhone user with phone number N. In Apple's system, I'm flagged as supporting the iMessage protocol. Presumably Apple has some gateway that routes messages, and this sends me down the iMessage route.

- I swap phones. I now own an Android device. I have the same phone number N.

- Apple's system is slow to update, and its gateway still sees me as an iPhone user supporting the iMessage protocol.

- All messages from other iPhone users to my phone number are routed incorrectly and I don't receive them until Apple updates its gateway to use SMS for my phone number.

If the above is correct, what would you call that? People who want to contact me have no idea what a protocol is, but Apple has impacted their ability to communicate with me. They think all text messages are the same, but this layer Apple has built isn't open or interoperable, and is additional friction for anyone wanting to switch off their platform.

It's very hard to excuse this behavior.
The arbitrary group is nevercoiners, who read something years ago and did some napkin math and drew some very wrong conclusions. They think they are better than the Bitcoiners. The nevercoiners are fascists.

> The tipped minimum wage is so small that it is basically zero

That depends on the state. For example, all west coast states have the same minimum wage regardless of tipped or non-tipped. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage

> In the state of Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, same minimum wage are applied for both tipped and non-tipped employees. Tips collected by employees in these states will not offset employer's obligation to pay the wage, and tips is the additional income beyond the wage paid by employer.

> Where did this come from?

It’s came from the use of the word “design”, which is a loaded term in the context of evolution.

I take it to imply either a designer or a direction to evolution. Two things I personally don’t consider to be true.

I hope that doesn’t sound pedantic for the sake of it, that’s not my intention and I don’t intend any offence by it.

Without actually knowing you though I only have your choice of words to go on as to what you really mean.

In your gasoline example I would personally just swap the word “designed” for “evolved” unless designed is what you actually mean.

> The argument for Electron and React Native isn't "it's modern", it's "it's much cheaper".

Expecations have changed.

It is 2004, your company needs a simple CRUD app so your employees can work with some structured data in a DB somewhere, let's say so sales can check inventory levels in an existing database.

A single developer can start up a Winforms project and throw something together in a matter of days to weeks. It can only be used by people on desktops running Windows while they are at the office, but that is fine because that is the world of 2004.

2022, your sales team needs to access inventory levels in a database. Assuming you haven't already been sold some multi-million dollar solution to do this (and you likely have, multiple times, and at least some of the implementations have failed), you now have the following requirements:

1. Some of your employees use Apple laptops, some use Windows.

2. People want to be able to access the data on their phones as well, which adds another 2 OSes to the mix.

3. Restricting the app to being onsite in the office doesn't cut it.

So, you can write 4 (!!) native apps. The ugly WinForms one is still simple, but you can either adopt a proprietary "simple app building" solution for the other 3 OSes (or just use it for all 4 OSes), and have serious issues finding devs who know the niche tech you've picked, or you can make a website.

Now, native apps on smart phones are a constant maintenance headache. Major OS releases break things on mobile all the time, and entire APIs get deprecated. (Another reason why writing against Windows is good, that Winforms app from 2004 probably runs just fine with 0 changes in 2022) It is easier to maintain 1 website than 2 mobile apps and 2 desktop apps.

So, website it is.

What framework are you going to use? Whatever one is stable, easy to hire for, and has the best tooling. OK so I wouldn't call React "stable", hopefully it has undergone its last major redesign for awhile (LOL), but there is tons of tooling for it. Of course the docs suck compared to what Microsoft had in 2004, because it turns out part of that $500 per seat license for Visual Studio went towards amazing documentation and example code. And because Web you'll get breaking changes now and then, but it still is easier than maintaining 4 native apps.

People underestimate how simple Windows everywhere made life for developers. Amazing documentation, stupid good tooling, and an obscenely stable platform to develop against. A major OS version came out what, once every 3 or 4 years? And unless you were writing drivers, that major OS version wasn't going to break anything.
Thanks! Off I go again!
> These complaints seem really entitled to me.

No, entitlement is thinking that Apple should be free to break anti-trust law, and engage in illegal anti-competitive practices.

We have these law for a reason, and they can and aught be used against companies that engage in anti-competitive practices.

> but if it's not in Apple's interest to build such a thing I don't know how you can describe their choice as "wrong" or "harmful".

It is wrong and harmful, if it is declared illegally anti-competitive, according to anti-trust law, which they are required to follow.
> If an insurrection invaded the Capitol to influence the legislative process

You're losing track of the thread. A few comments up we were discussing whether violent action was needed at all, because the parent poster was talking about "trying to reject the vote certification by using the anger of the people", which could plausibly be achieved without any violent action (eg. a bunch of angry protesters).

> Anyone involved in organizing or carrying that out would be charged with crimes.

but not "insurrection", apparently?
The platform doesn't have any leverage here, they are just a middle man. All the platform can do is to ban the users from their platform. The platform does not own the claim, the contractor owns the claim. The platform is just a pay-gate. "Robin" is of course going to say that he has paid, but there are plenty of proof that it was fraud. So "Robin" will have to pay the contractor. But the platform has no claim on the contractor, so the contractor can take the money from "Alex", then walk away from the platform with 2x the money, or pay the platform in order to not get banned.

It could be worse, for example if "Alex" was an random dude with false name it would be impossible to claim the money. But now they've met in person and hopefully the contractor knows his ID and address.
Mostly rioters or suicide later.
> reasoners quickly became necessary

Ouch. Most uses of reasoners/inference are quite computationally-intensive, to the point of making "reasoning" quickly infeasible. But if you really want, you can do all this stuff in traditional databases by defining appropriate 'views' and having your application query them. You could even use custom database triggers to enable inserts/updates on views.
