One of the things that has made it hard to believe the drug companies behind the new vaccines are trustworthy is the way that they and the medical establishment has continuously claimed that these vaccines have good long-term safety, when long-term safety wasn't even something that was being tested for, and a long term hasn't yet elapsed. Such claims were being spouted by government and medical people even before the EUA was finalized, which makes the entire thing seem quite untrustworthy to anyone who was looking at the actual situation and research.

Alternatively. The USAF are a bargain for a more stable world with less regional conflicts. While the Middle East is a disaster, and there are many easy to point out missteps on its record that truly are awful and horrific.

It's also currently the world's pre-eminent power in a history dominated by strong militaries and during its tenure as such the world has unequivocally been more stable and peaceful than it's ever been statistically.

The access to free trade over more porous borders has lifted billions of people out of poverty. Europe hasn't been this peaceful ever as far as I can tell. Every major democracy in the world exists under America's umbrella.

Certainly it's not all roses, Iraq was probably just a decade of war crimes, but we can see what happens as soon as we leave places like Afghanistan (wasn't perfect, but was certainly a lot better a year ago than today), Syria (Kurds abandoned have to re-align with Russia, Turkish troops move in), Philippines (never even left after Duterte quickly reconsidered given China's encroachments in the S China Sea).

Pulling the US military into a more isolationist or more equal to others stance would almost certainly result in more regional conflicts around the world as the stakes go from "hey we definitely won't win this thing" to "hey, we've got a fighting shot here".
> Look it this way. Why an ordinary user would use a phone that they cannot use with their bank or their employer in some cases? Widewine is the defacto and dejure standard for drm content playback and you must have an explicit google license to create a browser with such capabilities and there are less than half a dozen such browsers on the market.

Users should be suing their banks and Google then for restricting access, not Apple.

Nobody actually needs any of that junk. A secure platform/service can be delivered via HTTPS through a simple web browser. No API keys or DRM licenses necessary. It’s unnecessary fluff that users should be suing the respective organizations to remove.

> Add distribution to that, because in order for your platform to reach significant number of users, it should be offered by the mobile carriers with their phone plans. How many companies do you know who are willing to compete with the agreements already done by Apple and Google?

Yeah, a lot of the startups these days also focusing on those dating/ecommerce/social media/investing/real estate business, which I don't find any enjoyment in.

So, why not just work and slave away at big corpo earning FAANG pays.
I would like to second this recommendation. For a long time I thought their content was low quality edutainment because of the generally 90s website design and the generic stock photos used for courses(admittedly, that's...a pretty shallow line of reasoning). The courses are usually taught by university professors, have a well thought out lesson plan and have helpful accompanying guidebooks (you can also request course transcripts, I believe). For example, the course linked above is taught by Paul Zeitz based on his book, "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving", which is a classic for learning Olympiad-level problem solving techniques. I've also learned a lot from their history courses.

If you only work at startups you may never really know what the real industry best practices are. The people who are best on any given topic have a tendency to keep it a secret, so you're not necessarily going to be able to learn it outside of direct experience. Startups will often choose the expedient and obvious path to shipping that MVP, even when that pattern has known problems. Of course you can choose an innovative startup and get the opposite experience, but you'd have to choose it carefully and probably on the basis of personal relationships to be sure.

I think it was a "removing from future versions of macOS" situation, not removing from existing installs. If your mac is old enough to not have homebrew, it's probably too old to install Catalina due to the fact that they stopped supporting devices without Metal support.

I started my career in a startup and had a similar FOMO, always thinking that the big corps have figured out all these problems we were struggling with, hoping I can one day learn to how.

Then I joined one and had an eye opening experience - it's not true at all. They might have better tooling (although that's not even always the case), and they might have better established ways to do things, but the engineers aren't any better than at a startup and they deal with the same problems as you.

A lot of work at large corps is "patchworking", and a lot of code is pretty awful and won't teach you "the right way" to do anything. Like anywhere else, there's a lot of v1 code that doesn't get substantially improved after it's shipped because the team has moved on to something else. There can be a lot of churn where code gets moved between teams, rewritten and discarded as priorities change and people come and go. Only a minority of core systems get the benefit of being iterated on and evolved over a long period of time.

I believe that the best way to learn how to do things right is to make mistakes yourself and learn from them. Work on a single project long enough so that you don't just write the v1, but also the v2 and v3 and v4 that make you see the mistakes you previously made and let you figure out how to fix them.

Startups can be a good place to do that, because unlike in a bigger place, you might actually be given the scope and responsibility to do that even as a junior engineer.

You are right that maintaining things is a good way to learn, but you could equally spend 3 years moving on from one new micro service to another as the roadmap priorities change every 6 months, with very little opportunity to spend some time with your own code and learn from it.

If you've worked at 3 different places in 3 years, you might not have seen the benefits yet, but if you try to stay and work on something for long enough, you'll learn a ton.
Surely you can cobble together a toolchain circa your old Mac and build from source?
Seagate: We Are Shipping 22TB HDDs
I have experience working at a small "start-up" (3-5 people), medium (50-100) and large (10k+).

The small company gave me the confidence and experience to dig myself out of most situations and turned me into a "jack of all trades, master of none" (much like you describe yourself).

The medium company was a consulting firm so I got to work with other companies of varying sizes (including government organizations). Having worked multiple roles for a number of organizations, I gained the breadth but not depth. I was exposed to internal policies and workings of these organizations without having to actually switch jobs that many times.

When I joined the large company I brought with me the benefit and knowledge of having worked with multiple orgs, which is something that was lacking at the time for the teams I worked with. Having worked here a few years, I've gained invaluable knowledge I wouldn't have gotten at small firms. Being a large global organization I get to work with vastly different cultures and experiences, all of which is an overall benefit to me.

Having a variety of experience will make you well rounded. You will have positive and negative takeaways which you can apply in your future roles. And who knows, you may actually enjoy the large corporate life.

Is the grass greener at big companies? It entirely depends on what you are looking for and your personality. Is it valuable? Absolutely. Anyone who says otherwise is closing themselves off to invaluable experience.

I'm 100% with you on this, but good software engineers are also much more expensive than fast-churn developers, and it seems to come down to how much spend these companies want to invest in their technology. There is just an overabundance of web developers out there, and the tech companies are taking advantage of that.
Yes. Although it's technically a valid loophole, the likelihood the entire universe is set up to consistently give misleading results is extremely hard to believe.

The universe could still be entirely deterministic, in that your choice of experiment and measurement to make was fixed at the moment of creation. But you still believe that the results you are getting are a fair and accurate reflection of how the universe actually works.

Free will (in the philosophical sense) is irrelevant. Your choice of measurement is only influenced by what is happening locally to you at that time. The game isn't rigged to produce misleading results from the very moment of creation for all time.
In the popular culture, people usually say that St. Augustine came up with the "just war" stuff. Anybody who actually read him though, he was a lot more into delegitimizing state power. State power he didn't like (rather than all state power). I would put him square into the "just riot" section.

I worked as a self taught software engineer for over the last decade starting from junior and climbing my way to seniority at small startups, some where I was the first engineering hire, some where I was employee #30-50. Last year for the first time I made the jump to BigCo for the first time. I am seriously loving it. People are more professional. Surprisingly diversity is higher IMO - startups can easily become culture fit clubs as they try to build a brand.

Here’s my ranking

1) working at YOUR OWN startup/for yourself

2) working at big co

3) working at a startup owned by someone else

It’s not semver, but I’m willing to bet (although I haven’t checked) that there were probably a few leftover system apps that didn’t get moved to Python 3 before 12.0 (many of the features were delayed, I’m guessing due to the pandemic their work schedule has been disrupted since Big Sur was feature frozen).
Developers Mentoring Other Developers
I had a serious sense of FOMO after working at startups throughout my 20s. In my early 30s I joined a FAANG company and absolutely hated it, left FAANG after a year and came back to startups. There are some really interesting processes that these companies use, but the problems that they have aren't broadly applicable to startups so it's not so much about "the right way" as it is about "their way". However, if you really want to try it there's very little downside. I found it pretty easy to jump from a FAANG back into startups and now I can sell "that I've seen both sides" when interviewing / managing.
That's an easy one, no need to get philosophical or long-winded about it: because most riots target the businesses and homes of random citizens/companies. If anti-police riots solely targeted police stations, city offices, and other related government buildings and infrastructure then a much larger percentage of the populace would see them as just/justified. Samsung TVs on sale at 100% off at your local Target doesn't have the same moral weight to it.
A good safety protocol incorporates redundancies. The "warning" you're arguing against is secondary to first and foremost carefully checking for approaching cyclists. Both the parent and I were clear about this. (I'll add I'm horrified by everything else the parent wrote.)

> Given space they might stop, which is pretty discourteous by the person opening the door

Precisely the opposite is true: thoughtfully opening one's door slowly as a backup mechanism in an effort to prevent someone else's injury is very courteous. As a cyclist myself, I'd far prefer to be inconvenienced by an unscheduled stop than I would crash into a car door.

> with insufficient time they might well swerve into a traffic to avoid the collision, which could be far worse.

The alternative in your scenario is the driver impatiently swinging their door open. In this case the cyclist might well serve into traffic, too. Your argument makes no sense to me.
