I don't understand the argument in this response: unions exist within capitalist systems, and are an integral part of our capitalist system. Our concept of a "union" does not apply to non-capitalist systems. Extolling the virtues of capitalism is, at the absolute best, completely orthogonal to the legitimacy and value of unionization.

Likewise, unions aren't "politically created structure": they're not created in a top-down manner by the state. They're a form of collective organization and bargaining, the sort that is singularly responsible for the quality of life and workplace protections that we all take for granted.
Not sure I follow your line of questioning. It's a known fact that hospitals are overloaded. Anything we can do to reduce that load is a good thing. Hospitals are understaffed and overworked.

Do we need child labor laws? In countries that are reach enough to have various forms of social security there is no need to send little Timmy to work in a coal mine. In countries that aren't - they do help their parents with sustenance farming and those laws, even if they exist on some level, don't change anything.
I love, love, love Postgres! The one feature MySQL has that Postgres doesn't is the ability to add a new column in an arbitrary position in the table. I like my tables to have a common "layout" and I would love to have this feature in Postgres.

>Labor movements are made up of people, yes.

And so if the people in these movements made smaller organizations to advance the goals of the movement at their workplace, in their local communities, and the national level... we might even credit those organizations, yes? Just like we do with the civil rights movement?

>Labor organized in every single democracy regardless if there were unions or not.

Some economies skipped steam power too, but every early industrial economy had labor unions predate modern labor standards.

I completely empathize, and it's why I held off on it for so long.

But recently I quit my job and decided to start in order to keep myself accountable. I've been pleasantly surprised by what I've gotten out of it so far and wrote down my thoughts here:

I decided to build all my new projects on postgres a few years ago. I am often reminded of why that was a good decision.
Surgical masks are more fluid resistant than N95 masks, which is why they are used in hospital settings (the goal is to note contaminate the patients, not really about self protection that the N95 is better at). They are designed to solve different problems.
HERE WeGo is built by HERE maps which creates maps for the navigation industry. They have been at it for over 30 years. So it's not some new company that is figuring out maps.

The UI is good, especially when navigating. Before I travel everywhere, I like to use the collections feature to keep track of all the places I want to go to.

Looks like they recently did a whole UI update. I need to look at that more (judging from the reviews, older users don't like the new changes, but that's true of any software, people don't like you moving their cheese).

> People voluntarily don't work for corporations whose mission or behavior is incompatible with their values

And so if that corporation has signed a security clause agreement with a union, they are free to not work with that corporation.

Unions do not force workers to join a union shop, just as those people are free to not work for corporations whose mission is incompatible with their values, they are also free to not work for corporations subject to a union security clause that their owners voluntarily signed.

Coming back hours later, I'm going to be a bit harsher on myself: if I had checked the about page, I'd have still commented on the proofing errors, but I wouldn't have been so snarky about it, and I wish I hadn't been.

You're also right in your second paragraph, though -- the article didn't read to me like "this is someone who isn't fluent in English," it read like "this is someone who's fluent in English but tossed this article off quickly, made careless mistakes, and didn't bother to make a proofreading pass."
One way to understand OO, is to write OO code in a non-OO language (like C). When you need to basically write your own vtables, you really understand how things work.

I had to do that, in the early '90s, because I was writing an SDK that had to be implemented in C, but used object abstraction. It ended up being used for over 25 years.

Remembering VRML: The Metaverse of 1995
When the pandemic started, I had several of my friends jokingly tell me that it was time for my beard to go if I wanted to get the full protection of an N95. I jokingly told them that if it was between me loosing my beard and getting covid, I was getting covid (in my 20's for context).

Granted not the smartest decision but given my risk factors and the fact that I've never not had a beard since I could grow one, so people would likely not even recognize me without one. And two years on I have yet to be infected so I'll count my blessings as a stoke my glorious beard.
Well bailouts were called out a million times. And to think of it bailouts were about "oh what about these thousands of employees and community they lived instead of think of executives and their million dollar bonuses."
Another fun one that came up at my first job: If you run up against the size limit of a text column in MySQL, it silently truncates.

This came up when a developer used YAML for some configuration file. There was all sorts of confounding behaviour because YAML is still valid when truncated.

Every database has limits, but at least alert the user! I’d rather a query fail than alter data.

Edit:

This is something that might be useful in CS classes, to reflect what being a real-world engineer can often entail. Set an assignment with some silly nonsense like this and students have to debug it.
Yes, the UK has never been a place with strong freedom of speech and contract protections, so it makes sense they would outlaw business owners from voluntarily entering into security clause agreements with their employees.
Job security. I can’t think of any technical reasons.

A company is a legal entity that is, in many ways, separate from the employees it consists of. I'm surprised there's any disagreement on this point.

Well yes, that is my point. How else would they ever acquire that data if they didn't charge ahead? You are asking them to accomplish an impossible task to release the data without having a way to acquire it.

Postgres doesn't have a way to change the order of columns. Of course you could make a view, but my code doesn't use a view and I don't really want to make one just for when I want to check the database.
I fully agree, I don't think many London companies can afford to reject good candidates only because of age. Recently, I had the exact opposite experience, where an older candidate turned down an offer because they didn't want to report to a significantly younger manager.
I think the problem with this article is pretty simple. Confirmation bias plus an unhealthy dose of Juvenoia. He admits in his update that the jobs he takes are cleaning up after projects that have already been recognized for their failures. He also reduces younger developers to a very basic strawman.

He also doesn't appear to have recent experience being a developer that was involved with the first iteration of a project. Yes, things do get over complicated and need to be simplified later. There's always going to be someone getting over excited about using a new tool and insists on using it despite it being expensive and not meeting any additional requirements. The problem is his opinion is entirely based on hindsight and the fact he only gets work after that excited guy has either changed their mind or left.

He also doesn't clearly see the potential benefits of some of these frameworks and architecture. He definitely doesn't get the very basic idea that proper architecture requires choosing solutions based on the business needs. A small simple we pages don't particularly benefit from from complex architecture. Purely offline desktop applications certainly don't benefit from using react native, especially if it's doing anything complicated.

However, standardization of solution approaches across applications does have the benefit of making it much simpler to maintain any employee pool capable of continuing to develop and maintain their software. That's why when an internal tool is needed to manage semi complex data it's generally best to continue using Angular for the web ui and not suddenly decide to use Razor.
It's not necessarily about your job description. It tends to be about whatever there's the most discontent among coworkers about. Like the mandatory all-nighters with no overtime, or whatever.
"Capture by value" is meaningless since an object could itself contain references. Combined with the fact that lambdas can have side effects (there is no way to avoid this in C++) it is actually possible for a lambda to wind up owning itself. Imagine a class that has a pointer to a function object as a member, whose type is compatible with a lambda that captured an object of that class. Now that lambda might call a setter for that class member, using one of its own arguments as the argument to the setter. Apply the lambda to itself, and now the lambda owns itself via its ownership of the captured object.

I have no idea what happens in this situation, but it is not at all impossible to wind up with something like this in a complicated and large codebase.

Modern Cellular and Starlink are actually bringing some real competition. For the average consumer a Tablet with unlimited data on any major network crushes DSL’s speeds and cost.

It is on the OP to back their arguments! And I would have preferred a better argument there with better backing.

But the thing is, it was an argument, in terms of specifying a logical mechanism by which the conclusion would be unwarranted, even if the evidence doesn't bear it out in the way OP needs. And it's on you to make more substantive contributions than "you pattern-match to bad people" if you're going to respond at all.

I replied to you rather than the OP because your comment more obviously doesn't belong here. A culture of "you're wrong because you sound like bad people" is more toxic to this forum that a dubious counterpoint. (cf. "You know who else went vegetarian?")
> You can save XMPP account IDs in any mobile address book.

... while the rest of the XMPP account remains on the XMPP server, inaccessible. There is no benefit as you can also store other primary IDs like phone numbers in your address book.

And the rest comes down to "continue a conversation with someone somewhere else" isn't so easy but the same pain as with any other messaging system, minus you may use the same XMPP client, plus you may need to search a while until you find an XMPP server that comes with the fitting XEPs for your use cases.
I have a blog. Almost nobody reads it. That's okay!

I treat it like a public notebook. When I find something interesting, I write a quick blog post. When I have to muddle through a technical issue that requires piecing together multiple other sources on the Internet, I write a blog post to summarize. I've written blog posts on getting Walmart security videos to play (Verint codec is a bitch), decoding Marine Corps brig phone call audio time stamps, setting up CAC readers and DoD Root Certificates on a Mac, actually moving Time Machine history to a new Mac (which should happen automatically but never seems to work for me), etc.

My blog isn't the only source of this information on the web. It usually isn't the first source. It's rarely the best source (for a while, it was the best source for figuring out Walmart Verint security videos, but my solution is now outdated). But I do my best to put things together in a way that will be helpful to someone in the future who doesn't know what he's doing -- even and especially if that future ignoramus is me.

Just try to do anything that involves any kind of heavy calculation with Python and tell me it has "decent performance". If you write such code in pure python it can easily be up to 1000x slower than a compiled language or using dedicated libraries that link C/C++/Rust libraries to Python. This is why you need to immediately reach for numpy and similar libraries that aren't part of the standard library.
I'm no legal expert, but I'm pretty sure being forced to pay union dues is not a violation of any human rights.
Actually he would get paid much more. The NBA CBA has a "max contract" capped at 25% of the salary cap[1]. There are numerous players playing on essentially the same deal, even though there is clearly a big gap in talent. If you look at the list of salaries for the 21-22 season[2], Steph Curry is the highest paid player at $45.6M, which is only about 15% higher than the 10th highest paid player despite being significantly better.

[1] there are some other contract terms that allow for up to 35%, but those require a bunch of other non performance conditions to be met.

I chose not to pursue higher education personally (at the time for the wrong reasons), and one thing I remember very distinctly was just how much it was promoted as “the path forward”. A counselor was visibly shocked when I as a sophomore, hadn’t been grooming myself to appeal to colleges and universities in a few years.
I'm still baffled that every mask I see at stores says "not for medical use". It's been nearly two years and we still don't have approved masks?

I'm also seeing more and more evidence that masks that aren't N95s don't do any good. The CDC still doesn't recommend using N95s but recommends cloth masks. They're still claiming that they need to be saved for healthcare workers. REMINDER: WE'RE NEARLY TWO YEARS INTO THIS THING. Our government is pathetic.

Mostly because in regards to where they are coming from the pain points lie elsewhere.
I am referring to actual NIOSH N95s when I say N95. They are certainly used by a slim minority of people on the street, and I am not stating otherwise. However, their lack of comfort is a reason many people would/do choose not to wear them. In the context of use by the general public, I'm implying that it is not really practical to expect mass use of (or mandate) N95s. It would not be received well, and they wouldn't be used properly anyway. In a world where we're struggling to convince people to cope with the inconvenience of wearing surgical masks -- you're definitely not going to convince them with a NIOSH N95. KNs/FFPs are reasonable compromises, and they're downright cozy by comparison.
>Even if everyone's infected by March, re-infection will be a concern.

Natural antibodies last for few months if not longer. My suggestion would be if you have any underlying condition wear mask and keep distance plus take Vitamin D. Speaking of vaccination it is personal choice and responsibility.

The main problem in NYC is that it never knows which direction you're facing when you get off the subway, and if you're visiting an unfamiliar area, you could walk a few blocks in the wrong direction before it/you figure it out.

No, I'm saying that if you are an above average employee in $role an industry where there is already competitive pressure to offer good wages, a union fixing your wage at the level it is able to negotiate for the average employee in $role will mean you earn less. Until you leave, obviously.

If everyone "takes a break", then how does your average city dweller acquire food? The naieve reading of the phrase "why not take a break" would imply that no one is staffing the supermarkets, no one is driving trucks to deliver food to supermarkets, no one is farming at commercial scale, etc.

Perhaps you need more specificity in what "take a break" means.
