Developers are going Mac and Linux, Schools are going Chromebooks and many adults are going phones. Companies, constantly being behind the curves are still stuck in MS land.

You have linked to the desktop market. Yes there rules MS, but the desktop market is being destroyed by the phone market where MS doesn't even have an offer.
Wasn’t aware of that - thanks for the context!
fyi I am too.
Injecting some other psychoactive drug should work, at least for patients who have never used ketamine before.

But I suspect that would take many years to get through the permitting apparatus, if it was at all possible.
Gasoline is a small fraction of most people's monthly expenditures. At-the-pump taxes don't contribute much to inflation because they're a fraction of a fraction.

The value of the dollar was already plummeting because of three simple things: people have a lot of dollars, they all want to buy the same things, and the supply of those things dropped during the pandemic.

When people have a ton of money saved, they can get cheap loans, and they all want houses, cars, and electronics, you're guaranteed to get inflation.

It also so happens that houses, cars, and electronics are also things that suffered supply shocks during the pandemic.
Nowadays there's Windows Subsystem for Linux. There's no excuse not to successfully run "Linux" scripts on Windows.

I've been running very complex build systems via https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform (disclaimer: author here) since 2016 on Linux, Mac and Windows without a problem.
I have an S21 and honestly have no issues with it. Never seen any ads either. I don't use the galaxy store though(no idea what it's for tbh, it's not like you're forced to use it). As to "why" - it's extremely nice hardware, on par or better than most iPhones in my opinion, it "just works" day in day out.
Apropos Solitaire, what made me laugh:

https://imgur.com/a/OEAlctw

Absolutely no self-awareness there.

I think it's the shitness of the ads in Solitaire, those very low quality "You won't believe how she looks now". Pure scraping of the barrel.

I wouldn't mind if I got punted ads for stuff like coffee or Philips LED lights. Fortunately I've been able to block Solitaire's worst offenders, the ones for those lootbox games that play at the highest volume possible. And you can't even mute them permanently because each new one that pops up somehow creates a new "Application" in the Volume Mixer.
I've been at a Microsoft/.NET shop for over a decade that has a 90's MS employee as a key board director. However, MS is making such poor decisions with Windows and MSSQL licensing that it's become a high priority to migrate off everything they do going forward. I think it will take enterprise a few years but MS has signed their own death warrant on their old stack - good thing they bought GitHub and went all in on WSL.

In other words: the last generation did not train the new one, and usability is expected to suffer.

Also, there are few to no replacements. Because at some point, the last generation decided Windows was the only real OS. Oops!
Depends on how quietly he goes. Asking someone nicely who went to such lengths to cheat might turn bad fast, and then you're looking at the potential for physical altercations, calling security, etc.

Or you just give them another sheet and worry about punishments later.
Could not disagree more with the article. Sounds like Michael just isn't very good at building customer engagement and then using empathy driven engagement to understand pain points and ideate solutions.

For exmaple, he says:

> What is there to be careful of MVP as a strategy? Well, to start, I don’t think MVP works. The risk is you’re going to build something and nobody will come (or stay), and then you’ll run out of money.

This has nothing to do with a MVP approach and everything to do with ensuring you are building the MVP with and for a specific customer or customers who have pain points you understand, and then iterating on their feedback as you go. You could make the mistake of not having customers ready to share their feedback with you with and without an MVP.

He also says:

> But no - who would give you money if you didn’t know what product you were making? The product should be in your DNA

Utter tosh - I've had success building software that started as MVPs in two completely different industries that prior to building the software I had zero experience in.

I could go on...but I've made my point. Don't listen to anybody who says MVPs are old and busted - especially but not limited to this guy.
People that fence goods are the reason shoplifting is viable. I think that is obvious, and why it shouldn't be allowed (and should be prosecuted).

Looking at you, Google Maps.

No, I don't need an "easier way to do X, Y" or whatever else your obtuse program manager decided would get them a promotion.

I'm operating a 2-ton vehicle in traffic, so THE EASIER WAY would be to not obscure 50% of my phone screen, making me take eyes away from the road for an extra 2-3 seconds.

Hint for anyone reading this at google - it's in the name. Maps. That's all I want from your app, UNLESS I am specifically searching for Food/Hotels/Groceries. Also, please stop doing a UI redesign every year.

No, I don't need a pop-up if you want to reroute me around an accident. If it's faster - just reroute me, if it's not - don't.
In Chile it's not artificially restricted, or to anything nearly the same level. Doctors can still make a lot of money, they just have to be really good. Medicine then becomes 10-100 times cheaper, in that range.

German doctors I believe make under 100 grand.
Wouldn’t an obsolete computer still be perfectly fine for less demanding users? Average Joes, poor people, a kid’s first PC, etc. — give it away, I say.
We have an office, but many people aren't in the Bay Area (myself included). Not everyone is doing hardware, and some folks who do have nice home setups they enjoy working with. It's a spectrum, basically.
Incarceration would be an act of mercy for people like this. Three hots and a cot. They could while their days away watching TV in the rec room and jerking off in their cells.
Ok, that's an interesting take, as an example, I know that I'd toyed on several occasions paying for youtube red except that a part of me really fundamentally doesn't trust that they'll keep to their statement that it will actually be ad free[0].

As a comparison, I've paid for Spotify for a long time primarily to get rid of ads and was entirely ok with that.

I certainly pay for dev tools on a yearly basis that cost me a similar level as $257 a year and so I feel like paying for what Alphabet offer in terms of map / video / search fits comfortably in that same bracket of cost to value that I'd be ok making that trade as well.

I don't know if I'd pay themselves Alphabet that much, primarily because like with they Youtube example, what kind of a commitment[1] could they make that makes me believe that me paying them would mean they stop treating me as a product and as a customer instead? It sort of feels like that ship sailed a long time ago, ad money is very seductive it seems.

Obviously cheating happens all the time. What GP is saying is that this manner might not even be that extraordinary.
This is not necessarily true. These memory bugs in the X server were very long lived.

"Some people are not happy to find that previously reliable programs suddenly start crashing. However, as one person put it, they would rather have an application crash than introduce a subtle but undetected corruption in some mission critical database that does not get detected until three months down the road. One such application is X(7), the graphics interface for nearly any UNIX based platforms, including Linux, Solaris, and the other BSD distributions. It was discovered that the X server would crash in several different ways."

That's just unacceptable. I'm glad I left Microsoft products behind at the end of the Windows 7 era. Linux on the desktop for years now.

Wine is getting pretty good. If I really have to run a Windows executable, I can.

I'm even developing something that has to work cross-platform. I compile in Rust with

--target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

and test under Wine. Had to get some bugs fixed in a few low level crates for that to work, but now I can do Vulkan graphics in the Windows executable running under Wine. There's still a problem with Tracy profiling with cross-compile, but it's a package level build script problem.
That’s why you always provide an nmake for the project :)
Thankfully I spend >=90% of my time in Linux or Apple based operating systems these days. When support for Windows 10 dries up, hopefully Proton will be up to snuff or I'll just have to kiss some of my steam library goodbye. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

Microsoft can shove it.
Simple solution: Turn those neighbours into shareholders and they can sleep to the sound of money all summer long :)
In the past, society would create a group of people that would monitor for crime, investigate crimes and arrest criminals, guard the streets by patrolling, etc. But, since we have no modern way of doing that, apparently the solution is to wait for all but criminals to move out.
You need status. A place in a criminal hierarchy gives that.

> The US has a higher incarceration rate than other developed countries

Oh, we really suck at this, I admit! First, it should never have gotten to this point, and second, prisons should focus on fixing rather than punishing people. We are in agreement. But I don't think there are many options for Andre at this point (we should have done a better job 15 years ago). Washington state prisons are also a bit more on the reform side than other states in the country.

> It may be more accurate to say, "At some point incarceration has failed and compassion is the only solution."

Compassion should always come first, incarceration is a last ditch effort and means we have basically failed this person.
"If you say the metal detector is picking up a piece of shrapnel from an accident while young, how can they really disprove that?"

There's a lot of medical misinformation online, too.
If we are throwing around anecdotes. I grew up in an east coast city run by the exact opposite politicians and policies you are complaining about. The crime rates and safety in that city was far worse than Seattle's numbers. Even today, it has some of the highest crime rates in the country. They don't have any of these policies you are saying are causing this. You know what they do have? A massive income and wealth inequality. This is a complex situation and the political axe grinding really moves nothing in the right direction. Neither sides' solutions have "worked". They have just shifted where the burden is.
Right now is, in fact, the best time to be betting on custom hardware.

Moore's Law has been dead for a while. Getting "performance" now requires design and architecture again rather than just sitting back for 18 months and letting Moore's Law kill your competitor.

The big problem right now is that custom chip hardware is still too stupidly expensive because of EDA software. Fab runs are sub $50K, but EDA software is greater than 100K per seat and goes up rapidly from that.
Exactly. Then imagine the ones who didn't get caught enter the workforce and are the ones performing surgery or other life critical procedures.
Cardboard itself is only barely recyclable in the first place. My understanding of the recycling process for paper is that basically you're required to go a grade down in the process, and cardboard itself is basically the end of that process.

I suspect you'd environmentally gain more from improved recovery of more useful materials from single-stream waste than you'd lose from no longer recycling cardboard products. (Especially since a large amount of dedicated cardboard recycling is itself going to be spoiled by the inclusion of greasy pizza boxes in that stream).
> responsible for signing off on practices they know too little about...

Ok, well, there's the problem. Or at least most of it. No one should be even considered to audit a system unless they understand how it works.
> Defund the police did.

There has never been any correlation between police expenditure and crime. If there was, NYC would be the safest city in the US.
Not surprising. A lot of med students are status- and money-seeking people first and foremost.

That's why you gotta shop around for doctors when you can and evaluate them as people.
File Explorer is absolute the worst thing on Windows, kinda disgusting engineering time is spent on this and not improving performance and search.

Although not sure I'm surprised, even MacOS/iOS are full of ads these days.
At what point will we start to accept human cybernetic enhancement as legitimate? We are literally one technological step away from all humans being able to communicate telepathically. Society is going to have to adapt to this reality. If a test can be gamed this easily, then it is a very poor test and I would not trust its' filtering ability at all moving forward. Rote learning will be a thing of the past once we are all augmented with the entirety of human knowledge accessible by thought.
very polished site, clear presentation of the information. I am going to spread this around to my colleagues :)
It's bad enough when hospitals get hacked.
I can't imagine the problems that happen when the medical staff's 'biological enhancements' are hacked.

In this community we sometimes talk about how some technical interviews are deeply unrealistic because they remove the candidate from, e.g. their IDE with tab autocompletion, or googling, which you might normally depend on. Your skills are best measured when you have access to the tools and environment which you'd actually use while working. And yet ... sometimes you can pair program with someone and it's clear that they don't really understand what they're accepting from the autocomplete, and this is legitimate cause for concern.

I think I want doctors to definitely know a bunch of stuff unaided, even if they would normally always have access to supplementary references. If nothing else, they should have the habits of mind to be able to critically evaluate their references, and notice when they're wrong or suspect.
Since I moved here I always said Seattle is the most Cyberpunk city! (not that that's a good thing, but cool to see someone else share the opinion.)

Walking from downtown to Amazon's campus is wild, feels like the corporation owns that entire part of town.
Microsoft, if you're listening; Ads in Windows, is what pushed me to leave. I have no intention of ever returning. Ads in the tools that I use for my work are unacceptable.
This is a fair take. But in your analogy, we'd go after the thief, too, right? And the thief would get a harsher sentence?

Yet there's no lawsuit against the thief.
Hahaha... I guess Vaadin's marketing team is at it again.

This is just re-branded Vaadin all over again trying to sell a product nobody wants and it is not even their own.

This is just Spring Boot + Custom typescript cobbled together and called a framework. It is hardly modern by any standards and frankly a bad idea to build web-apps that locks the users this way.

Please take your marketing bs somewhere else.
I'll believe it when I see it in my start menu. Till then it's speculation.
> a collection of requirements adds up to a design.

No it can't A collection of requirements implies many, many possible designs.

Change the team, you get a different design.

A good-quality requirement is _testable_, amongst other things. After the design and construction are complete(-ish), the team should have to show that each requirement is in fact met by comprehensive testing.

Along the way, each requirement should be mapped to elements of the design. So you can (on paper) verify the design meets requirements. And the designer(s) can be confident they are meeting the full set of requirements.

And for the nay-sayers that complain you can't ever adequately elicit the requirements out of the users (or customers), then your engineering process needs to address this risk. See many comments that refer to ways and means to achieve this mitigation.
The community at DEF CON and other hacking cons have been playing with bio implants for some time, including low power RF. I came here to point out what you just said - that they got caught, which signals incompetence.

I do think the bio-implanted device space is going to explode at some point. Here's where I see us headed:

* VR next. If you don't have an Oculus Quest 2 or realize what a game changer it is in terms of price, power and wireless usability, you really need to get one, no matter what you think of Zuck and FB. It's the next thing. And it'll look clunky as hell 5 years from now. It's the suitcase-sized laptop of the early 90s.

* Once very portable VR becomes a thing, augmented reality wearable glasses. As in real-time, amazing visuals that are seamlessly stitched into your reality, and so advantageous you won't want to live without them.

* Then bio-implanted augmented reality with wireless charging through the skin.

That's how I see the next 30 to 50 years unfolding in terms of devices. The first step is VR as the next big platform play. Incidentally I see three spaces there:

1. VR synthetic reality. [Already here and super fun and useful]

2. 360 film [Already here but cameras getting WAY better very fast]

3. Immersive vision-based augmented reality - visuals overlaid on regular vision. [Not quite here - but we do have PoC's and will be in the next couple years]
To be fair, the new generation has no respect for the old one. Oh, you're a software engineer in your late 30s? Gross.
What do you use? I currently use a pixel 2 and when it craps out I'd like to try something different.
I'm pretty sure HQ2 and all the surrounding hoopla was the warning shot regarding the head tax.

But you can update through the app instead which skips going through the front of Galaxy Store. That's what I've always done anyways.
I have Windows 10 on my laptop and the other day it forced me to decide on if I wanted to update to Windows 11 or not in a "Now or Never" kind of way before even startup occurred... Even after a reboot, the computer was totally prevented from being useable until I answered the question, so I could not even search to see if it was an exploit, or even if the upgrade was successful for other users with the same model laptop as me.

It's very troubling to me how a device (that I paid a lot of money for mind you) would do this without any sort of courtesy, and in such a disrespectful manner. This is the issue with modern software development, even the things we buy can be suddenly changed at the drop of a dime into a subscription service cash cow for big industry and we'll have no choice of escaping it all. Consumer Protection has failed us totally because they too invested deeply into these extortionist big corporations. The ads will only get worse year after year because it's all shareholder driven, and they will likely lobby other software and hardware manufacturers to not support alternate options like Linux. Good luck everyone.

Petty theft times a hundred or a thousand equals grand theft. He's a habitual offender, ergo, he belongs in prison. He knows exactly what he's doing.
The concentrations of metal that would occur from natural hyperacclumulation is actually much less that what occur in the process of pressure treated wood for common commercial uses like decks and building materials. In this case any wood that accumulated metals would be harvested for useful products that benefit from being decomposition resistant. Think wood used in the outside of buildings.

Trees like poplar are often used for phytoremediation projects. There's a lot of prescient for doing this in scientific literature. Check out a few papers here:

Immoral? Why? IF the person didn't do anything wrong then punishing them for being a certain nationality is immoral.
When you say everything contained in the project, you forget that there's more to life than just node/javascript. Just two silly examples: you cannot run/deploy your API backend without docker/kubernetes/aws-cli/etc, nor your mobile app even if it's in JavaScript (react-native).

The only way to keep to node/javascript is if you only develop libraries (a website that doesn't get deployed -> still on library level).
It's simple. Medical students from India like bluetooth implants.
> the US has full control of the arms flowing in

This is incorrect.

> its ability to fight

This is incorrect

> Ukraines NATO aspirations

This is irrelevant.

> The US has the power to decide if Ukraine stands or falls

The US has the power to decide if it wants to help Ukraine beyond what it has already done, and it has the power to decide if it wants to stop giving the help that it is giving right now. But it does not have the power to decide whether Ukraine stands or falls, that power lies first and foremost - unfortunately - with Russia and after that with Ukraine itself.

> The US also has the power to to give Russia some or all of what it wants.

No, it doesn't have that power at all.

> Ukraine has very little say.

That may be so but you have a pretty weird idea of how war works, and you seem to forget that Europe has a fairly large amount of influence in the region as well.
