This comment deserves a much more detailed response than I'm able to give at the moment, but I can give some very brief thoughts:

Let me say that I have been working in AAA online game development for more than 7 years now;

I have worked on games that had 10's of millions of players, and these were full fat $60 AAA games.

Cheating was the second[0] biggest issue of our games, it sucked the entire enjoyment out- getting ganked by a bunch of players shooting through walls is not fun.

Why did we "allow" cheating?: Well, we never did, we used some of the best anti-cheat software we could afford, but it was still possible to cheat.

"Don't trust the client" is a common response, but being fully synchronised to the server has drawbacks too; servers typically "tick" at about 10-20fps, theres a lot of tricks we pull off to make it seem as if it's going the 144-240Hz of your monitor, like showing hitmarkers (but not damage numbers) to make it feel as if it's fast, if your movements were synced to the server you would feel as though you were walking through water, as the movement would be very slow as it needs to do a 150ms round trip to sync a step.

The truth of it is if we fully synchronised every action to the server: not only would it feel abhorrently slow; it would require a full 3d rendered simulation of the game world, we'd be able to run maybe 3-4 users on 40 core machines with 256G of ram... that's not feasible.

"Don't make online games" is another common response to hearing the realities and difficulties of making these kinds of games.

But I'd suggest, if that's your response; even if we made them that doesn't mean you have to install them.

We're both making a decision here: We decided to make an online game because it can be a lot of fun, you decided to install an online game because it can be a lot of fun.

Cheaters want to ruin that fun, we have woefully few tools to prevent that.

(by the by: I'm not in favour of kernel level anti-cheat, but fuck are cheaters the bane of my existence).

[0]: Biggest issue was actually bugs, but when we fixed bugs, cheaters were the next primary complaint.
So you believe that 60% of Americans on average spend twice as much on iPhone, just for the “blue bubble”? There couldn’t possibly be any other reason?

So technology products shouldn’t “just work”?

In the modern world optics are EVERYTHING and that cannot be understated. Imho the first thing they need to change (which they have with their move to the new subreddit) is renaming it from r/AntiWork to r/WorkReform.

That was the biggest thing in my opinion. AntiWork was too open to the type of people who don't care about workers' rights and were just there because they think the world owes them a living. NEETs are horrible for the cause of labor reform.

> The start of the answer lies in the simple truth of who Doreen Ford was: the person who almost single-handedly built the space, indisputably the single most accurate representative and the one most qualified to understand it.

A community, by definition, cannot be build single-handedly.

Especially a large subreddit, where hundreds of thousands visitors posted stuff, commented, upvoted and publicized the subreddit in other communities.
Hypothesis: We have more books authored per capita today than then, suggesting a broadening of the types and training of authors.

"In 1907 there were 9,260 books published in the United States according to the New York State Library Bookboard. ...Compare that to 2010 when there were 316,480 books published by traditional publishing companies according to Bowker." [1]

Meanwhile the U.S. population has grown from 92,228,496 in 1910 to 308,745,538 in 2010. [2]

Calculate ratios. In 1910 there was a book published per every 9,959.0 Americans. In 2010, there was a book published per every 975.5 Americans. Ratio of ratios: 10.2x in 1910 individuals per book published.

I'm not going to bother with any stat test. There has been a magnitude of change during this span. We have more authors (or publications) per capita than before, likely reflecting a broadening of the socioeconomic and educational classes of the authors.

> I compare it to the dot com bubble.

I don't see the similarity. Yes, the stocks were overpriced, and people who didn't understand venture capital were effectively providing venture capital. But the dot com era produced some major corporations: Google, Amazon, eBay, Netflix, and many more. Those companies have real economic value because they create products that people want to pay for.

Web3 hasn't produced anything comparable. The space is now polluted enough that I doubt it will.
Your introduction video is cool. Nice narration. Great editing. It looks like a documentary or a film.
Have you considered talking to the Debian infrastructure and build teams about the possibility of augmenting the Debian package builders to generate, collect, and publish this data as a standard part of the build process ?

It would provide an ongoing and always up-to-date data set rather than relying on external entities interest, good-will and resources to do it (such as yourself) and could provide significant insights into the entire Debian project.
For me every year is year of the Linux desktop.

How much progress it has made, is astonishing

Also regarding Wayland, yeah, same.
Then again, Wayland is pretty young, so I would say, give it 2-3 more years? Until then, X11.
And there is many cute WMs on X11, but not wayland, soooo... I am stuck myself in X11 :D
Alongside that, there is Pipewire. Yeah, right...
Its quite impressive. It also fixed all my.. quirks/issues I had with Linux audio

Anyway, every year feels better, and I am happy with that.

>I also do believe that it a profitable endeavour with very little general advantages as it is right now.

the "advantage" here is that the true value of the company is reflected in the market, so that capital is allocated to the best companies rather than the most hyped ones.

>That is more parasitic than constructive

Can you explain how it's "parasitic"?

>Additionally creative destruction can also mean that I destroy the wealth of those that currently do profit from canceling companies prematurely

Isn't that what happens if someone thinks a stock will go down, shorts it, and gets it wrong?
> It can be about more than one thing at the same time

Indeed. Remember we live in a world where Tim Cook can say in court that he has "a feeling" the App Store is profitable, and that is apparently where it is left.
> The market will correct itself when shitty applications with shitty UX don't get any sales

I think your assumption is too optimistic. The only way the market would correct itself in this situation is toward user hostility with easy signups but hard cancellations (e.g. New York Times). So yes there will be some market correction, but only in ways that increase sales at the cost of user tolerance.
> "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."

There he implicitly refers to the creation week, that is the rationale for keeping the sabbath:
"For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
(Exodus 20:11)

Jesus stresses that God gave an example to rest on the seventh day, for in his time it had been turned into a religious ordinance with strict rules to follow.
IOW people were on their toes to avoid doing anything banned instead of resting.

> the character was very revolutionary and anti-establishment.

I guess you can get that impression depending on how much you put aside as "stuff about Jesus being God and also his son or whatever".

In Matthew 23 he says: "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not."

I would say that he opposed the establishment to the extent that it was wrong, but he definitely opposed rebellion:

And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
(Matthew 26:51-52)

That was when Jesus was being captured.
"Sanewashing" is a highly biased slur.

It's usually called "reformism" by people who support actual change.
I did have some experience with .NET but I think the overall consensus is - not really. "Functional" experience will be more helpful.

I don’t know that it was the main issue - but yes I think this is common with Shopify hires. I’ve seen a number of similar complaints on Blind’s Shopify board.
The removal of Michael Malice episodes upsets me, as he discusses some really important issues. Still, all of the conversations listed are likely gems: comedians like Bill Burr and Tom Segura, Alex Jones in the only context where someone is constantly fact-checking him in real time, and Tim Ferris is a puzzler. I wonder if Joe has any legal recourse here, as according to him he was contractually given full power over the content of the podcast.
Fine, but apps should be allowed to let you pay via alternative methods and also allow you to pay via Apple and charge you the 30% extra costs which Apple wants.

I highly doubt you would pay 30% more just so you can pay via Apple.
Cancellation pain is a big driver for me too. I've heard lots of people say something like "streaming services are no better than cable was, once I get Service A, Service B, Service C ... I'm paying as much as I was for cable". And that may be true for some people, sometimes. But if the streaming services are easy to cancel, then I often only keep a subscription active for a couple of months at a time. Ok, I saw the HBO-exclusive stuff I wanted, now I'll disable it and maybe check it out again in a year. And that's easy to do now! I guess HBO doesn't love hearing that part, but easy cancellation makes me much more willing to sign up for it in the first place, which they ought to be happy about.
Not presenting my company, I'm asking a question. The company is just a reference so you know why I'm asking the question I'm asking.
It's against the rule to say that you did not read the article, so I won't say it, but:

> In the modern world optics are EVERYTHING and that cannot be understated. Imho the first thing they need to change (which they have with their move to the new subreddit) is renaming it from r/AntiWork to r/WorkReform.

/r/WorkReform exists already.

> Most of the sub (I'd wager >80%) are Americans asking for workers rights that are the norm in western Europe. Things like paid maternal/paternal leave, greater work life balance and paid overtime, flexibly working and WFH.

This is the author's point, that before /r/antiwork realigned itself, their moderator was actually representative of the average /r/antiwork user, that through an influx of left-aligned users, it got "sanewashed". These new users were ashamed of being associated with the original mod, but that mod is still very much the one that was dicussing legitimate /r/antiwork ideas before we ever heard of their fringe community.
A while ago I heard an adage about hiring, something like when you hire slow you can teach and grow your existing culture, but when you hire fast the equilibrium flips and the incoming culture is what your company will become.

This is what happened to antiwork. They couldn't disseminate existing ideas and absorb the influx of new culture fast enough, so their culture became the incoming culture, which was approximately that of reddit.

Windows explorer is STILL a wrapper around IE - I can go install COM components for IE that will run just fine in explorer.

And the vast majority of the webviews used by the OS were IE (now webview2, based on Edge instead).

It turns out the ability to display a webpage is a pretty critical part of any modern operating system - they all support some form of a webview. The one in Windows is based on browsers that MS develops and owns (IE, then EdgeClassic, now Chromium Edge). It's absolutely baked in still.

Both Gamestop and Tesla were just the market freaking out. The market often does that. Much of the stock market is more about what other investors will do than what the companies themselves will do. It's a bunch of noise on top of the actual value of the companies themselves.

Of course sometimes it is the companies themselves, and then you need to pay attention. And because you rarely know in advance whether a dip is the company or the market, you always need to pay attention. But the Gamestop thing was a clear case of the market freaking out.
I had somebody stop an interview like this once. I asked them how they could write a computer program that counted things (typically looking for a hash table with count values) and they immediately stopped and said they weren't expecting a leetcode interview. They later complained to my manager out of band. We offered them a chance to return, but if I'm gonna hire my boss, a head of computation, they are going to be able to use a hash table.
TIL, I didn't know that reddit allowed mods to opt-out of /r/all.

> "central europe" is how people from post-socialist countries call eastern europe

That was my first thought when I read that. We Czechs are especially guilty of [over]using "central", because the country is very much wedged into Germany, which is decidedly western, so I hear it pretty often.

On the other hand, the European part of Russia is so huge that yes, nothing except maybe Ukraine is really on the eastern third.
So how much should they charge developers for access to continued iOS improvements and updates? What if they had to pay a license fee for access to each new iOS version's APIs?
Even if it was true that every bit of schooling hurt Shakespeare, that effect is dwarfed by the contributions to his career made by the various mediocre talents who wrote stuff like Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland (where he got so much of his historical material) and the other playwrights in the revenge genre.

Same with Einstein, he had his problems with institutions but his breakthroughs relied on the work of their legions of average minds who developed physics and mathematics over the centuries.

We should think about how we can best support the handful of geniuses who are held back by the educational system, however I wouldn't be surprised if the kind of education that works for the >99.999th percentile would be terrible for the other 99.999%.

Aaronson doesn’t seem to believe in the scaling hypothesis like much of openAI and the Machine Intelligence Research Institute do.

That’s the only hypothesis that predicts something like AGI from emerging from even bigger language models.

Aaronson clearly isn’t expecting this tech to lead to AGI but that doesn’t make it not important.
I see 50 hours a week as work, nothing more. "Haven't seen him in two months" sounds, in that context, like dramatic hyperbole. Dismissing someone's hard work to support a family with an age-related slur doesn't breed sympathy for a position, either.
Sounds like you're bringing in a bit of your personal gripes there as the OP didn't say the other companies wouldn't accept him...
> Especially in the Dutch case, where they won't actually lose any revenue, since they're charging 27% anyway.

I believe Apple is being forward-looking here. They know such a ridiculous 27% policy is unlikely to be tolerated by the regulators, since it defeats the entire purpose, so they're planning for a future where they're forced to lower that. They want the option to be presented to consumers as being scarier than it actually is and to include as much friction as legally possible, so that developers will be more likely to continue to use IAPs even when they could use something else.

I've heard that Apple isn't allowing consumers any choice in the matter either -- developers can't simultaneously offer both their own payment method and IAPs[0] (at upwards of a ~50% higher price, to cover the ~30% that would have to go to Apple for the IAP option, if the percentage for out-of-band payments ever drops from 27%). Certainly, it would "make Apple look bad" to see the IAP at a much higher price just because of Apple's commission.

I never said it was the only reason. Free speech is a tool. Generally wonderful invention, like a knife. But when wielded by wrong people in troublesome contexts it helps them in achieving disastrous goals. Along with plenty of other tools.
Oh that would be fun.

Make no mistake, I'd be losing a lot. Fb is helping me get sales done, so that would probably be a hit.

But that would be fun though. And, in the long run, probably a good thing.

Too bad it's not really going to happen.

Interesting story, but what is "killing" the climate movement is not one undercover cop but the unwillingness of consumers (including me) to give up hydrocarbons.

The people they do buy cheats from do the work and effort. They don't seem especially bothered by kernel-level anti cheat stuff. It keeps them in business, since they get less quick home-brewed competition.
>"I have no interest in /r/antiwork nor their ideologies, but they kept popping up on /r/all"

The /r/popular and /r/all pages are intensively manipulated by a constellation of leftist activists. Have you ever noticed just how often the same "screenshots of tweets" submissions from people like AOC end up being reposted ad nauseum across several subreddits that basically share the same message - and most importantly - moderators and power users?
This kind of thinking isn't helpful. The reason this is a massive problem for app companies is because 90% of users aren't computer litterate and don't read. They expect their devices to just work with no effort (we at hn can't relate). We should all be mad at apple because we as devs can't control the devices default settings like Apple can. And that's how their winning... They're basically pulling an Amazon basics or a Costco's Kirkland.
Well it exactly illustrates the point I'm trying to make, that policing the interactions of free adults (Apple, app developers, consumers) is fundamentally akin to treating them like children, and at odds with the ideas of personal liberty. As long as the interactions are peaceful, it's better to let them sort themselves out.
Kernel anti-cheat drivers are rootkits. Full stop.
I'd be interested to hear your opinion defending professional sports taking itself as seriously as it does then. From my perspective, the only thing that makes it serious is the amount of money and advertising involved.

Sure the technological barrier is important, but I fail to see how they're categorically different depending on what they require of the participants.

I don't have an issue saying they both should not be taken seriously, or that both should be taken seriously, but to draw a line between them in terms of "seriousness" I think needs elaborating to me.

My only question is, prior to the 'my manager sucks' posts and people getting encouraged to stand up for their rights/humanity, what exactly was r/antiwork _doing_? I feel like a majority of users still want to abolish wage slavery without the extreme anarchist association. Demanding better pay and treatment from our employers is an actionable item on the road to that. Besides just not working and living in poverty, I'm not sure what else the plan is.

If a group has to choose between an idealized echo chamber of non-action and a washed-out version of the same thing but with real change in peoples' lives, I would take the latter.
He didn't mention whether he could or could not do coding puzzles.

But if you are accepted purely on coding puzzles, then your colleagues also were. Meaning, they might be difficult to work with (such as: overconfidence, always criticising the code they didn't write, shaming people in large meetings, repeatedly overpromising, or other bad behaviours).

Sadly, Shopify's care and interest in his individuality didn't extend past the interview stage, as he was given work that shouldn't be expected from a front end focused developer.
