Safari Team Asks for Feedback Amid Accusations That Safari Is the Worst
Keep in mind, that the Southern Baptist church literally exists because the Baptist convention started asking thorny questions concerning slavery and Christianity. In light of that discussion, the southern congregations broke off to form a convention that would welcome African slavery[1] and have white supremacy as a bedrock principle. Sure, there are plenty of blacks in the Southern Baptist denomination, but they attend black churches for the reasons you've noted.

It turns out other tech companies are actually doing business as usual, not just the ones we love to hate such as Microsoft and Oracle?

I feel like scales have dropped from your eyes. :( Sorry buddy.
I think it's because middle class likes to compare themselves to the people at the top rather than the people at the bottom, even though they are closer to the latter.

So you have someone who makes 50k a year who has 10k of investments, and they would rather compare themselves to the CEO making millions, rather than someone lower in the org chart who makes 30k a year.

They have investments, so they'll approve of tax cuts on dividends, even though the people who profit from these tax cuts are the people who have 100 million invested, not the middle class who might just get a few hundreds in dividends from their investments a year.

So even though they are completely dependent on their salary and the whims of their employer, they like to think of themselves as independent upper middle class people and vote accordingly.

It's amazing how people will tell themselves stories and vote for policies that are bad for themselves just so they can feel superior to someone else.

Funny how a strong social safety net and lack of inequality tend to make societies with a norm of participation and solidarity. The Scandinavian countries aren't all the same, are dealing with their own problems of homogeneity and integration challenges, etc - but always funny when the Economist doesn't say the quiet part out loud.

Personally I think the most useful 'new' things in CSS that hardly anyone uses yet are the min, max, and Clamp functions.

I wrote about them here https://blog.logrocket.com/min-max-clamp-css-functions/ - there are some real embarrassments in that article (probably due to me being busy with other things at the time of writing, and being outside my comfort zone [dealing with design]) - example silly statement: "these functions can accept anything that is a number or a calculable value, like the length of a variable, as an input." length of a variable? WTF did I write that for!?!

I could also probably have saved my time because the day after I finished writing it I found this post https://ishadeed.com/article/css-min-max-clamp/ which makes a lot of the same points, less verbosely, and better, with much nicer looking examples because I guess this guy has a design sense.

on edit: I mean I am just jealous of the examples he made, I sweated trying to make something up to show the power of the functions and explain their use and I don't think I did a good job of it, didactically, and his examples were really good. Probably he sweated to, but they look effortless.

> One might also argue that the history of belief in personal sin makes European cultures more self-depreciating, but I feel the Japanese are more self-depreciating than the Europeans.

I think that has more to do with collectivism vs individualism, which itself may be to do with hierarchy and community. Those values may have been endowed through religion over time, but I don't know enough about Shintoism or Buddhism to comment on if it influenced Japan into becoming a collective focused society.

Odd to see a bunch of 1-10 sized startups have director and vp of engineering roles. I’m assuming there is a CTO at those companies as well but I would have expected efficient team comp for that size to be one CTO 1 CEO 1 CPO one or two sales/marketing and rest engineers

That is just as valid for cloud solutions, though.
Back then OSS was more volunteer labor based, or red hat style business models based on support contracts etc. So there was maybe less expectation of monetizing OSS directly.

These days the conflict seems to be about big cloud vendors productizing OSS code made by SaaS vendors, thus directly competing with them. It seems more like an economic argument (we want to get paid for the OSS we create) dressed up as an ideological one (OSS is about community, or whatever).

The obvious problem is: what are you "interested in" when it comes to women?

The way you are killing it in your career, I suspect that your female companionship objectives are a tad bit too demanding. At the least, you should try to find a women you can trust and enjoy in small moments of life. Start there.
The stuff I’m talking about is, for example, a virus alert popup that downloads ransomware. There is nothing remotely comparable in the App Store, though I have no doubt there’s a vibrant and thriving scam economy on iOS. I’m just saying, the moderation does have some upsides for some people, even if it’s not perfectly applied, and even though it doesn’t align with my personal ideals for software.
> In the US and Canada, untowered airports account for a majority of takeoffs and landings.

Obviously not.

But that fact absolutely does not matter to Google. All Google cares about is if any of the actual customers might come to say they don't want their ads displayed on her channel, so that Google might thus make less money from it.

Google doesn't want channels not making them money, or displacing views of channels that would make them more. And, they can't spare the attention to determine accurately which those might be.
As a guy just walking down the street, my imagination runs wild with all these fantasies of me being some sort of superhero. Usually it involves me thwarting a terrorist gunman or something. When I'm exercising, I imagine how I want to look like in a T shirt or on the beach.

It would be a relief to be old and give up on most of these thoughts.

I just bookmarked this to reflect on.
When the hell did Bill Hicks ever tell anyone to vote for anyone? It's been a minute since I listened to his shows, granted, and it's not as if he's still around to care. But don't you think it would behoove you at least to make sure you know what you're talking about here?

The last paragraph is especially salient. To me, ZT is really about recognizing that perimeter security is dead, and a modern approach to authorization requires defense-in-depth. A zero trust access proxy is just one layer (and is inherently coarse-grained). The identity provider and API gateway can provide more gates. And applications themselves should implement fine-grained authorization in a manner that is complementary but independent of upstream access controls.

Isn't that true of cloud providers, too? I'll use AWS as an example because that's where I have the most experience. There's a dizzying number of services, some of which have a high degree of overlap. Someone needs to understand them to make an informed choice as to what to use. Every place I've been at using AWS has had to deal with undocumented API issues and responses that the docs say are impossible, but happen. There are performance pitfalls that require in-depth knowledge of the product to avoid, but usually you don't find out until it's too late. Adopting many of the cloud native services isn't just a technology swap (your RDBMS knowledge isn't going to help much with DynamoDB). There's a cottage industry helping people just understand their bills and how to reduce costs. And for non-trivial deployments, you often have to learn orchestration tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.

I'm at a place that uses GCP now and very little of that AWS knowledge I've accumulated is applicable here.

Cloud platforms/services have a lot going for them, but I think they've become complex monsters that don't really save people as much time as they think. If you're just pushing buttons on the EC2 console, then it's faster than provisioning an Ubuntu server with Ansible for sure. But, those toy deployments aren't indicative of the actual effort to manage a production system. At least in my (mostly start-up) experience with AWS going back to 2009.

cheese variety such as the Italian provolone

Provolone seems to be a fairly 'American' cheese. I almost never see it anywhere in Europe, even in stores that otherwise have a wide selection of quality French and Italian cheeses. In the US it's far more of a staple cheese. I've also noticed that at least some cheese sold as "Provolone" in the US isn't actually from Italy, something which would not be allowed in Europe.

The size of the plane has nothing to do with the difficulty of ad hoc coordination.

Ad hoc coordination does not mean “swerve out of the way if someone shows up on the runway”. It means announcing intent to land on the runway well in advance and coordinating with other planes using the airport over the radio.

Had a similar situation.

Had to go in one day a week to spend the day on Zoom to the team overseas we where working with. Two to three hours lost a day commuting to use Zoom at a desk in the office instead of Zoom in my home office.

Ironically the days we where forced to go in where the least productive days as we’d catch-up with other colleagues, get coffees, get lunch etc. We looked busy though and that’s what the CEO wanted, it was a one day check in for all intent and purposes to make sure we where not slacking at home.
> I've started to think pregnancy is such a drain on the female body that the change in behaviour in women afterwards seem like minor psychotic episodes which the medical profession ignore and pass off as "normalised" behaviour.

I don’t know that there’s a nice way to say this, but this is such a misogynistic take. I don’t see anything in the story that involved pregnancy or hormones. Whenever you read about something bad that was done by a man do you comment about how testosterone turns men into psychopaths?

Apparently a lot of people around here like Bill Hicks, and why not? He was a brilliant comedian, and maybe the most viciously accurate (and just vicious!) satirist there ever was of the grossly self-satisfied smugness that typified post-1989 American culture. He was easily worthy of being remembered alongside Carlin and Williams, and I think would've been had he not died of cancer just as his career was starting to really take off.

You can find a lot of his stuff, full shows as well as excerpts, on YouTube, and I'd recommend doing so. You'll find your question better answered there than here.

Microsoft made their bedrock version so they could get users to buy the same game twice on PC. They had a very short window where you could get bedrock on PC if you had java, and then removed it. Support refuses to acknowledge this and gives the run around.
I fully support pirating it instead. I'm not going to buy this game for friends and family when Microsoft has proven they're going to milk it and toss it. I want one Minecraft version. Not two separate $30 ones.

They're also deprecating their Java launcher and forcing users over to the Microsoft store launcher, which does not even work on my windows machine. I have to use 3rd party launchers that Microsoft won't fund. FTC should be suing but this isn't the 90's anymore.

Remember, when a company is bought that's money the parent company is going to squeeze out of it. Mojang never should have sold, but greed is a force ever hostile to good things.

I was collecting FANG salaries in the states. I was in the 1% for my age, and most people would consider this the "American dream".

I was miserable.

I moved to Japan with a much lower income, but my standard of living is so much more higher.

> you may not realize how powerful America's culture of individual freedom has impact on other countries

Does individual freedom include not wearing masks? Does individual freedom include feeling unsafe from crime?

Japan feels much safer than any urban center in America, especially during this pandemic. This feeling of taking public transit without anxiety throughout the pandemic alone is already worth forgoing those FANG salaries.

I grew up in Portland, Oregon. That place has deteriorated. Parts of San Francisco is more dangerous than Vietnam or Egypt. NYC is filled with confrontation for all sorts of minor problems, none of which you would ever face in Tokyo.

> Any ideology that forces individual to be less ambitious for the prosperity of the group only gives more power to the enforcer's of the ideology.

This is not inherently unique to America or individual liberty. In fact, Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations is based on the idea that the whole benefits because the individual is acting in their own self regard, not altruistically for society at large.

Asian countries are collectivist with much less individual freedom.

> What other countries are great compared to America? With all its flaws America is the only country where you can dream of building spaceships, create multi billion dollar tech companies in less than a decade.

Speaking of great, how about China? China's bullet train networks span longer than the rest of the world combined. All of that was built within a decade. They have spaceships and unicorns too.

Nicely written, many points are easy to agree with, and a light touch

I always disliked the title of Steve Krug's book (even if I appreciate
some of the design sentiments) because it seems to lionise
intellectual sloth.

To me the problem is actually deep and accords with the split between
philosophies of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is anti-humanist,
deferential as (Ellul, Mumford, Postman) would frame it, and the more
optimistic IA (Intelligence Amplification) which is _real_
human-centred design.

There are also resonances with how Taplin tackles the Reckless
Engineer as one who sweeps problems under the rug of UX in order to
"move fast (and leave things to just break later)"

This whole cargo-cult (cultivated ignorance) of truly celebrating "Not
Thinking" is pathological. It is setting us all up for quite some
disaster.

Liberalism is marked by comparison to abstract ideals. Whether and to what degree other areas of the world do worse in comparison to those ideals is not usually going to be something of paramount concern.

This idealisation and universalisation is not only Western of course. I'm a mixed kid like your kids, but South India rather than Bangladesh, and I would be and am rather unquestionably accepted as Indian when I am there. But a major driver in the split between India and (then-)Pakistan comes down to the (novel & idiosyncratic) liberal ideals we compare to.

As a final note re: the Crusades. I was not under the impression the Crusades were looked down upon because of war, but because they too often were incoherent raiding expéditions that sacked and subdued parts of Christendom even more than they won control of the Jerusalem.
I work at MS not in gaming. I actually may be okay with this. I think Microsoft’s incentives are to grow gamepass subscriptions, which may work with this play anywhere mantra. I have my doubts that Xbox will not be seeing dollar signs though if they can make all of those exclusives. I think it depends on the relative size of Xbox users vs total video gamers.

And there's also the immigration fallacy. At least in their last issue The Economist has the decency of mentioning the "de facto lack of incoming migrants" as one of the main 3 (I think they were 3) causes behind the US's current privileged position for its workers, but that definitely wasn't the case until very recently. In other words, no matter how mocked it was, there was a definite truth behind "Dey took 'er jerbs!".
