But I argue there is no market failure here. You can distribute the app via web or Android. iOS just one of the options that you are free to boycott if you find the fee unreasonable. The fact that vast number of developers don't (although they have a choice) proves my case.

> the price for iOS distribution is not determined by market forces because there is no competition for it.

Perhaps you misunderstood. The price for iOS distribution is determined by Apple; whether that price is a good value is determined by market forces. Again, it seems that it is indeed a great deal, because vast (and silent majority) of developers accept it.

> It's like if there were two delivery services in the US, each covering one part of the country.

But it is not. You can reach your user via Web or if they are mobile via Android or Windows phone. Apple can not be blamed if your user prefers to use iPhone (despite it being most expensive) and now you have 30% cost of distribution to reach them. That is exactly type of an outcome a free market would produce. The freedom here is expressed in your user's ability to pick their mobile device and by no stretch of imagination Apple has a monopoly there.
No, it's not required to start. Without the bug firefox starts up just fine (in fact, if google's servers were to drop off the internet, the problem would also go away). The problem is the bug hangs all network communication when it's triggered.

Coming from someone that has been using an old computer for a while, I could definitely tell the difference between Electron and non-Electron apps based on their speed. E.g. Spotify and Discord. They take forever to start (the worst part IMO), there's significant lag when changing pages, and they just feel bad to use. If you've never noticed it, then your computers are very good.
I really don't think this is the kind of ageism we are suppose to fight. You need to convince people with your past projects, sadly that's a thing for an experienced hire. Fresh graduates from not so fancy engineering school are not exactly immune to this kind of problems. It's easier to do you old job in a tech company and maybe transition to become a developer there then to look for a career change out in the wild, at least, people would already know you.

Yes, they're called "corporations". We used to have software that helped keep their incentives aligned with those of the species, or at least those of Americans, but the Citizens United decision and the end of Glass-Steagall EOLed that stuff without an upgrade path - I blame Google lobbyists, that's just their style - and we've spent the last couple decades finding out why that maybe wasn't such a great idea.
Navient settles predatory student loan claims for $1.85B
Weather obviously correlates with people spending time together indoors, but it’s not the only relevant factor. Government policy and individual choices determine to a large extent how many risky exposures people undergo and how risky they are. Notice that e.g. Vermont had very low numbers of deaths, while similarly cold places in the midwest had much higher death rates. The difference is primarily political, not demographic or weather-related.

In pre-omicron waves, the virus got to dense exposure in one place then spread geographically outward like a wave or fire (omicron has moved too fast for that pattern to be as visible). For example NYC, Boston, etc. were the initial epicenter in early 2020 (Seattle and the Bay Area also had plenty of early cases but strong reactions flattened the curve); the fall/winter 2020 wave pretty much started at the Sturgis motorcycle rally then spread outward across much of the country from South Dakota; and Florida was the initial epicenter for the Delta variant, which later spread throughout the south, then later on to the northeast, midwest, and west. These geographic waves of infection have perhaps as much to do with epidemic timing as local weather patterns. But severity of each wave has more to do with local social responses than with precise start timing.

County by county or state by state comparisons in the USA are pretty stark (>5x difference between best vs. worst results), but are still limited to a large extent by common features of the federal response, American media environment, etc. If you look at international comparisons, there are 20x or 50x differences in outcome between countries caused by more starkly differing policy responses (obviously lower income countries are much more constrained than high income countries, but within each category some countries have had much worse policy response than others). Countries with fast, coordinated responses who empowered health officials, communicated clearly to the public, and dedicated the necessary resources ended up doing very well in comparison to those who made excuses, blamed others, misinformed the public, sat on their hands, and prioritized politics over health.

I had a report like this

he talked a good game during standups/planning meetings, but was never able to answer anything concretely because he never actually did anything (due to the perfect mix of incompetence and laziness)

I spent months on this guy: helping him break down simple tasks into trivial tasks, sending him documentation to help him out with those tasks, then directly pairing with him out with those tasks, and even doing it bits with him watching when he frequently got "stuck"

immediately after I stopped he went back to doing bullshitting and doing nothing

after I while I figured out his strategy is to argue, obfuscate and make it so difficult to work with him such that his co-workers get fed up and do his work for him (simply because it's easier than dealing with him)

I've had repeated conversations with him saying that his performance isn't up to scratch (with examples A, B, C, D, E, F, G ...), but after 18 months of trying to get support from my manager to do something about him I've thrown in the towel instead and quit

Is the Linux Open Source Foundation just a misnomer then? And GitHub actually has a vested interest in open source working and working well.
Not to get "stereotypically HN" on you here, but this is one of those things that the majority of package managers on Linux have figured out. Having multiple versions of the same package is a pretty huge requirement for anything that wants to masquerade as a server OS, which is why most package managers will let you downgrade and pin packages to versions that you want for whatever reason. Of course, this comes with it's own caviats; pinning system packages can really mess up your OS, and of course there are some Electron apps that enforce minimum client versions.

For those most part though, it's a good solution. As long as people know not to downgrade/pin packages they aren't sure of, it's a good-enough fix for the majority of use-cases. You could even idiot-proof it by hiding certain software, that's neither here nor there.
By the way, another analogy: I recently wrote a microKanren in F#. I taught this microKanren arithmetic with the Peano naturals; it knew how to count, and it knew what 37 was, but the encoding is very inefficient and it was slow to count.

Then (https://github.com/Smaug123/FicroKanSharp/blob/912d9cd5d2e65...) I added the ability for the user to supply custom unification rules, and created a new representation of the naturals: "a natural is an F# integer, or a term representing the successor of a natural". I supplied custom unification rules so that e.g. 1 would unify with Succ(0).

With this done, natural numbers were in some sense represented natively in the microKanren. Rather than it having to think about how to compute with them, the F# runtime would do many computations without those computations having to live in microKanren "emulated" space.

The analogy is that the microKanren now experiences natural numbers (not that I believe the microKanren was conscious, nor that my world-model is anything like microKanren - it's just an analogy). It has a new, native representation that is entirely "unconscious"ly available to it. Mary steps out of the room, and instead of shuffling around Succ(Succ(Zero)), she now has the immediate "intuitive" representation that is the F# integer 2. No new knowledge; a new representation.

libadwaita exists solely to move Gnome specific stuff out of GTK into libadwaita.

Local first behavior is a big reason I still use Sketch. Nobody can take my documents from me, no matter what.

Sketch is also generally more friendly to people trying to take their Sketch documents elsewhere — the Sketch file format is publicly documented, which has allowed several other apps (including Figma) to be able to read it. Figma has yet to do the same for its format, which reeks of lock-in and rubs me the wrong way.

As I've said before, publish the trades of politicians and Fed officials online every evening. If they make hundreds of millions trading on information the public is unaware of, disseminate that information quickly. Politicians say things they know are untrue, but they will trade in what they perceive to be their interests.

"Some of the most egregious stock trading in Congress occurred when several Senators dumped large volumes of stock in Winter 2020, right after Congress was briefed on the magnitude of the Covid threat. Sen. Kelly Loeffler sold millions in stock. Her fellow Georgia Sen. David Purdue made a windfall by dumping and buying back stock. Sen. Richard Burr offloaded more than $1.6 million in stock ahead of the market crash (and then made a suspicious call to his brother-in-law, who promptly called a broker)."
I worked for about a decade in the semiconductor industry, in the cleanroom for hours a day in a mixed-sex environment. I can say that it depends on the person. Some people, it's true, look better with the mask on, because it focuses attention on their eyes, which may be their best feature. Some people have an amazing smile, and a mask is going to reduce the value of that.

The article quotes the researchers, who just about admit that this isn't really about "attractive", so much as, "getting voted for by respondents". If you are pro-mask, you pick the picture of the person with the mask, to send the right message. Quite possibly if the research was done in an area where attitudes towards masks were more negative, they might get the opposite result.

But, if you're in an environment (for years) where wearing a mask is just part of the normal day-to-day work routine, it depends on the person.

Much as we'd like to believe 'bad people' made this Covid disaster happen, in fact it was us. Firstly by encroaching on the habitat of wild animals in search of more resources to exploit, and secondly by our failure to control the virus once it emerged. We did this.

Note that no new evidence is presented here, only that some scientists thought it might have leaked from the Wuhan lab. Some other scientists then suggested it would be unhelpful to debate that conjecture.

As it was, the Wuhan lab possibility was aired at length in the media, and many experts concluded that the origin was almost surely completely natural (in the sense of not from a lab).
If you applied a modicum of common sense you wouldn’t be bending over backwards to try to make an argument that regulating the max size of a vehicle somehow leaves room for interpretation. There’s literally no reason you would “regulate the max size of a vehicle” unless you’re trying to eliminate a category that currently exists. “Sorry guys, you can’t make the suburban any bigger” would change absolutely nothing and not address his concerns at all. But you keep prattling on about straw man arguments if that makes you feel better. You’ve yet to contribute anything of substance to the discussion and I doubt you’re going to start now.

I wish I could find the reference, one study showed that additional time spent estimating does not improve estimate accuracy. Only historical data regarding similar tasks were where estimates could be made accurately.

Example: How long will it take you to lean advanced physics? Even if I gave you a week, your estimate is likely worthless (maybe precise, but not accurate). To me this makes sense because you cannot know the unknown unknowns until you hit them (and throw in some of the journeyman fallacy)

Meanwhile, how long will it take to brush your teeth is easy to estimate. How long will it take to brush your teeth with a new electric toothbrush is also reasonable to estimate.

> I think we need to be much more willing to consider software that's released with source available, but under a license that doesn't comply with the DFSG.

Hard no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_point_(game_theory)

Once that line is relaxed, even slightly, more licenses like this will start showing up and running battering rams against all the other parts of that line that prove inconvenient compared to proprietary licenses.

This license is proprietary. I don't care if there's source or not, it's still proprietary. It does not serve the interests of Open Source to compromise on its nature to obtain somewhat more quantity of a far lesser thing.

The unusual foibles and preferences of specific people who are firmly in the history of FOSS are not relevant factors here. The relevant factor is drawing and maintaining a strict definitional line, because if we let that line become even slightly porous, it won't hold up to the resulting assault that would invite.

> some kind of restriction on the usage of that code is necessary to protect the developers from freeloaders

Absolutely. For instance, requirements that others share changes they make under the same license.

There's been a massive push in recent decades towards permissive licenses, driven in large part by a combination of companies who find permissive licensing convenient and individual developers who project a certain counter-counterculture "do whatever you want, I don't want to think about licenses". We're now seeing the net result of that: many large companies actually using those permissive licenses as written, and not necessarily the ethos behind them.

It depends what you want to do, I'm guessing you do not care too much about fuel and combustion research, and more on practical aspects.

Here's some overview references:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/255807.Internal_Combusti...

Perhaps the most interesting thing with motorcycle engines is the variation of stroke and bore and number of cylinders since it's an exercise in packaging and weight reduction to fit on the smaller frame.

In terms of engine technologies different fuel injection strategies and cylinder geometries are areas of active research, along with things like lubricants and bearing surfaces etc.

The 'computational' pieces are really edging towards applied chemistry in figuring out how to optimize the combustion chamber.

For practical tasks without a machine shop you are fairly limited - I would caution against mucking about with an actual engine you later want to ride, beyond hobbyist level until you have some experience.

At hobbyist level it's really about engine mapping and upgrading the air intake. Those things are the easiest 'mods' but I'm sure specific forums for your motorcycle will be able to point you towards common upgrades etc. and why they work.

In response to your problems:

> 1) Skilled trades pay better than most bachelor's degree track jobs

This is a problem that the colleges cannot fix. It's not the college systems fault teacher pay is being held back so much (unless by that you mean they should dramatically increase professors' salaries, so that the higher rates in academia trickle down.)

> 2) There are better options than college for many.

This is point 1 again. Digital Marketing is just a different skilled trade.

> 3) College is way over priced.

Isn't that because tuition has been a larger and larger portion of their income?

> They claim graduates make 40% over their lifetime vs. non grads. JP Morgan Chase did a study two years ago that shows kids that had a job, any job before age 18 make 35% more than their peers over their lifetime regardless of degree.

Sure, and? That's not relevant to the discussion, because they just isolated one variable. If both statements are true, you would expect a college educated person who had a job before 18 to make 89% more than someone who did neither.

> 4) Student loans are a horror that needs to stop.

I agree. But it's not the college system's fault that public support (financially) nosedived over the past couple of decades.
