I think some aspects of ownership are useful, e.g. move semantics and mutable/immutable references. withoutboats had a good post about a Rust-with-ownership-and-GC language a while back: https://without.boats/blog/revisiting-a-smaller-rust/
Only when conversations are in English right? I can still use the local language? :D
I'm in the same boat, I spend a bit of my working day writing in Rust .. it's a great language but it's very cumbersome and I find it suffers form poor ergonomics, like it's annoying to type
Sounds like a great way to attract mediocre talent and guarantee you won't get exceptional talent.
> Don't have your personal ethics be subject to someone else's ethics, because if you do that, then it means you don't really have ethics.

Corporations are not people. They don't have ethics. The most they can have is an ethical culture or guidelines - which still doesn't preclude them from doing anything.

The power imbalance is just too great. Don't be an as**, but don't be naive, either.
What is the effect on creative expression and sociability, between co-workers, when they know they're being analyzed by a computer to figure out if they should be fired?
I'm sure this is intended as a joke.

Even if it doesn't work right - having it at all is going to result in all sorts of bullshit for employees where this is enabled.

Someone digging through your emails because you happened to mention some vaguely related keywords... yeah, no.
If you've had health (&/or weight) issues it is common to adjust your diet, eg to cut out excess sugar. Making the switch to no sugar in coffee is pretty easy and likely to stick (even if doughnuts come back). If you've never had health issues you keep putting your teaspoon of sugar in your coffee and don't think about it.

How do you adjust for that in the analysis?
This isn't new at all. Why do you think FB was asking the gov't to regulate social media?
This is absolutely going to be used against unionizers, which is what's really meant by "colluding". In the US this is going to get a lot of people fired. In other parts of the world, it's going to get them killed. This kind of software is Zyklon B for the 21st century.
Some of the issues, depending on where you live, is that the government made agreements with ISPs to prevent competition in exchange for the ISPs paying for laying wires. If those agreements were not in place you might have additional choice.
I don't think Microsoft is a "good" company. Agree with all the Win10 dark patterns, not to mention news like this from today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31600848

As you say, the problem with Microsoft isn't the licensing. 25 years ago, licensing was among the problems with Microsoft. Today it is not. This is an aspect of Microsoft changing, for the better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_and_open_source#Init...
Office 2003 was probably the peak, and then it started going downhill with 2007.

The answer is that such policies are more nuanced than just help or harm. Some people weigh effects differently than other people, leading them to believe that for their specific situation, one outweighs the other.
Seems to only apply to messages, for now. My understanding is that unless a call on Teams is explicitly recorded, there's no capability for the organization to monitor the content within.

Is this still accurate? Are there any features in the pipeline planning to change this?

Microsoft offering "communications compliance" within the same product is certainly chilling enough as it is. The reality where people lose their job as a result of previously-protected casual [voice] chat doesn't seem so crazy now. All it takes is missing a quietly-introduced feature update by a week before the organization flips the switch and doesn't tell anyone.
I think at least some my staff will likely resign because mandatory deep inspection / network monitoring is being forced onto everyone's computers by the IT department. It's probably the only way to stop it from happening at the moment. Unfortunately the buzzword of "zero trust" has been bent towards meaning "spy on everything your employees do".
> while there's lots of people talking about using Unix, Windows, and Linux at the time.

Not so strange that the talk was all about OS with paid licensing. And I don't see lots of people talking about Linux webservers in the early naughts. Linux was in the news because it was interesting, but the news was about reviving older hardware with free OS. Linux made it into production backends in 2001 at the latest, but no one was writing about it.

And in 2001/2, I'm not sure Amazon was all that notable, still a small Internet company then. Also, I'd find it hard to believe Amazon began on Solaris, rather than Solaris being the first early migration (Sun had even better support than NetBSD, but getting the nines was closely tied to Sun hw). Amazon was initially a garage company. I guess it is possible Bezos had a hand me down Solaris server, and ran without Sun support (the hw was that good, Sun's excellent support was hardly needed), or that it was part of the initial investment, but those servers cost tens of thousands.

I'm really beyond trying to convince anyone that 1) Linux only went everywhere later, 2011/12, not in 2001/6, and that 2) NetBSD, for all intents and purposes, was and ran the entire WWW for a decade or more, ignoring IIS and the small amounts of pay unicies. I saw web audits of OS. No one saved any for future review and nostalgia. NetBSD was an incredibly popular webserver for a long, long time, all through the 90's and into the naughts, losing out to Linux sometime between late 2007 and 2009, by which time it had all but disappeared (or the web got massively bigger).

Believe it or not. I'm not sure what my motive would be for trying to deceive die-hard Penquinistas. If we can't find evidence NetBSD dominated webservers, then find evidence some other OS did, but don't trust Microsoft's BS. IIS was a dog and had some minority marketshare increasing by the late 90's only because no one gets fired for choosing Windows.
In my view, the ribbon was an incredible UX innovation; I just resent Microsoft for patenting it. A ribbon could improve so much software. Don't forget that cascading menus are an antipattern.

What's not to like? Common functions are one click away, and others are two clicks away. Are you saying lengthy drop-down menus were better? I don't see how.
I agree on every point expect that it's "on-par" with SS13. SS13 has a lot of content; it's one of the most feature-rich games that I know of, up there with Dwarf Fortress. In terms of porting content, SS14 is still several years off from being completely finished.
"constantly have to go to conferences to keep up to date" you would think. But that hasn't been my experience. Most doctors don't know much more than what they learned in school and maybe the 1st five years of experience. If things get tough they pass the buck to other doctors or they just wait and hope things will fix themselves.

There are superstars but like in any field they are the minority not the majority.

Most of them are hard workers, it's not out of the norm for them to have every minute of their work day scheduled. I'm surprised you don't see more of them burnout.

My suspicion is that there are a few Software engineers that are out of the norm regarding salary but for the most part doctors earn more than Software Engineers.
Hard to say, their job listings[1] don't include the salary. Their listings do say "All salaries are transparent within the company and are set above local market rates," so maybe all it takes is one high cost of living hire to raise the rates for all employees with the same title?

I think that grossly misunderstands what happened in Australia with the Whitlam government dismissal.

The executive power in Australia is held by the Governor General who "represents" the Queen, but is limited by the constitution in what powers can be exercised. The Monarch of Australia essentially has no power in Australia. The Governor General can largely only do what he/she is told by parliament or resign. The "crisis" part here was that the Governor General found a grey area, the current Prime Minister could not form a majority in the lower house and so the Governor General appointed the opposition leader as the Prime Minister who immediately asked the Governor General to dissolve parliament. It was dubious that the Governor General could actually do this, and it has since been codified in law that he/she cannot.

The Governor General did discuss the matter with the Queen, but largely she had no part in this decision. In fact the released correspondence between the Queen and Governor General shows the Queen declined to make a decision.

Nobody's mentioning old commercial games that were later released by their publishers as open source. One example is the classic combat flight sim "Rowan's Battle of Britain", initially released in the year 2000. You can find it packaged to run under linux/wine, along with other free games, here:

I can respect that. I think a lot of preference might boil down to the specific tool in question, along with when it was manufactured. Personally, I prefer Wiha screwdrivers far above any other brand, while Klein makes the best crimper tool[1] I have ever used.

> To be clear: using async is fine if you know what you are doing, and it can provide incredible performance. But if you do, keep it simple: avoid lifetimes and most importantly: don't attempt advanced trait shenanigans - if you do need traits, just returned BoxFutures without lifetimes, throw in lots of Arc<Mutex<_>>, clone() and call it a day.

It seems like everyone doing async Rust goes through a long journey before arriving at this conclusion. Once you know the pitfalls you can navigate around them, but I hit a lot of dead ends along the way.
This is why I refuse to install apps on my phone. The companies will push and prod you to install their app, but it isn't worth it. I could have had a free hamburger from Burger King recently, but you had to order it through their app - my privacy is worth more than a burger.
IC comp ain’t complicated — you want people who are good at what you need them to do, and you need to make them a more attractive offer than your competition, so that they work for you instead of the other company. Remote work is fine for them. They probably prefer it to being interrupted all day with meetings. They know all about how boring such things can be from reading Dilbert.

What do you do about leadership? Do global/permaremote companies have managers, staff eng, and c-level members who never meet more regularly than once a quarter? Does remote-work as a leader in a global/remote-first business mean frequent trips to airports? How does it work when your job is more than “make the CI faster”?

If you do one thing for ICs and another for leaders, are you tacitly saying to all remote ICs that they’ll never progress to a leadership role?

People say that remote IC work is mercenary and very much like contracting. To that extent, if you take a remote salaried position, are you doing yourself a disservice compared to taking the dispassionate, transactional, disposable contractor-style role without the contractor pay?
This seems to be office 365 implementing monitoring of official communications of employees & contractors for the office account? I don’t think it extends to a personal office 365 account, at least it didn’t seem to.

Why is this exactly newsworthy? Any communication through official channels is the property of the employer anyway. To collude, leave & other stuff use personal channels maybe.

> I see that phrase thrown around a lot. It's a variant of "you're never going to be a billionaire (so you shouldn't be against X)." Why do people assume that you have to think you'll be a billionaire to be against something that would affect billionaires negatively? Is something only wrong if you think you'll find yourself in that position one day?

Obviously cappies (meaning people who support capitalism, who are not necessarily actual capitalists--most aren't) don't walk around believing they personally have a greater than 50% chance of being billionaires. It's hyperbole. That said, they do overestimate their future earning potential while severely underestimating the number of ways in which preexisting social class will block them. This is evidently true; behavior and preferences reveal beliefs, and no one supports capitalism and its extreme inequities unless they harbor a belief--perhaps an underexamined and irrational one--that they'll one day be invited to join the capitalist class, since there's literally nothing to justify the system but "It's good if you're one of them."

Try D it has most features that you just described. It feels Phytonic and it's GC by default[1].

Have you considered converting to a non-profit? I'd support that financially.
The JVM is a native-code application (i.e., running on the processor directly) that executes the bytecode by interpreting it (starts fast, but runs slowly) and/or converting it into native code and running that code on the processor directly (delayed by the conversion step, but then runs fast). The latter step, translating bytecode to native code, is known as the just-in-time (JIT) compiler.

So somewhat confusingly, Java typically involves two compilers: one from source code to bytecode, the other from bytecode to native code. By nature, the first is processor-independent, the second is processor-dependent. The second happens at runtime on the target machine — thus, “write once, run anywhere”.

My anecdata is that I've literally heard people say that. For example - 'I don't want the rich to be taxed because I might be rich someday.' They don't specifically even mean Jeff Bezos or even a billionaire but assume that 'when' they are rich they will want the tax advantages.

I haven't seen anyone here claim that "relationships" on social media are not important. What many do say is that the daily addictive "interactions" through social media, like FB, don't mean much in terms of strengthening or weakening a relationship. I don't have an FB or Whatsapp or Google account even though they dominate my country. Yet, when I call people or SMS / text them, nearly all respond on the same medium because that's the quality of relationship I have built with them. Social media relationships mostly ends up feeling voyeuristic and even like a chore at some point.
Similar to my sibling comment, let's rephrase this the other way around (a bit tongue in cheek) and let's see how you like it (and then you maybe rethink what you wrote).

As someone who is in the engineering realm, one thing that has frustrated me about Product people is how difficult it can be to get Product Owners to see where the puck is going, let alone to skate to it. Many seem to want to operate much like a stakeholder/customer proxy - they take a literal input and give an exact output.

It's so rare, and lovely, when you run into a Product Owner who can not only figure out how to parrot what stakeholders told them, but run through the next couple of steps and understand what their actual needs are vs. what they say they want, embed it in the company strategy and make time for polishing the product and keeping it up to date technically instead of just chasing the umpteenth UI overhaul fad they can present to get a promotion and be out of there.

There are no probabilities, small or large, for black swan events. That's the point. Most of the things I listed though are inevitable though, so the unpredictability is more about when than if.

Yes, but most Info tech careers start to end in the 40's. By the time most software engineers hit their 50's they are struggling to find a job or switched career all together. That's not the case for doctors.

I'm one that advocates the idea that Info tech workers should plan to retire in their early 50's not 65+. So they should start planning and saving with that idea in mind.
> But in the business realm, you have no privacy whilst your at work on work devices, the company owns that data not you

This is really the problem in a nutshell.

Would you let the company install cameras in the bathroom to film you using the toilet? I am guessing probably not.

So why do you think you "have no privacy whilst at work". This is a fiction. Privacy is a human right if you're at work or not.
