> … but something like a file chooser cannot be its own program?

That's happening! Gtk 3 and 4 include GtkFileChooserNative[1]. It works like a file dialog except the application doesn't know about its widgets. That means it can proxy another application.

So if you're running a Gtk app in a sandbox like Flatpak or Snap, Gtk will use the Xdg file chooser portal[2]. In GNOME, this is implemented by an application (in the host) which, itself, creates a GtkFileChooser. In the future, it could be a beefier application. One benefit of that taking a while to happen is, once the implementation gets fancier, there won't be too many weird mismatched applications.

(Also, I mention GNOME, but it's important to notice the file chooser portal is itself platform neutral; KDE apps use this, too, and the implementation depends on what desktop you are running. Yay, decoupling!).

Not everything uses GtkFileChooserNative, but pretty much any recent Gtk app that doesn't have weird requirements probably does. Off the top of my head, Firefox, Secrets, Bottles, GNOME Builder and GNOME Text Editor (although they still ask for access to all of the of the files for other reasons), … even Slack and VS Code! (Electron switched over recently).

You need the hundreds of ships just to get the fuel for a few Mars ships to orbital refueling depots.

If one crewed ship of 8 colonists needs, say, five cargo ships for support equipment for that population on Mars, and a seventh as counterweight for centrifugal gravity en route, that is 77 launches. The six that land on Mars don't get re-used, although their superheavies do.

The point here is that you need an absurdly large number of launch events just to provide for 8 colonists. Multiply that out to a million colonists, and you exceed the industrial capacity of the world. And, even a million colonists is very, very, very far from self-sufficient.

I was working at my UNI library around 97 when a fresh t3 (~45MBPS) line was just installed... We also got brand new top of the line Micron computers as well there. I was the first person to test the connection and after years of working on 56k modems I couldn't believe how everything I clicked suddenly worked at the speed of light. Videos I clicked on (on MTVs web site back then) loaded instantly, almost felt as if they loaded before I clicked on links... I have never had anything load as quickly since, even on my home Internet, which is directly connected to my router & 250MBPS plan.

I blame all the ads, tracking, and bloatware that is prevalent now most of all.

Thanks so much for the awesome, actionable feedback.

These are some fantastic ideas. The idea about separating out results is one we've been kicking that around recently too, but you got to it a lot faster than we did. :-)

On "surely you wouldn’t advise home down payment money be invested immediately?" this is actually a really cool part of our product, we change your asset allocation based on how proximate your goals are… so if you have an upcoming home purchase, we recommend the savings you need for it is allocated much more towards bonds and cash, while any savings for goals is allocated toward higher growth opportunities.

We need to highlight that more. Here's a screenshot of how it works in the product: https://imgur.com/a/78CwP83

Thanks again for the supportive and constructive feedback! Really, really appreciated.
Fair point - I think that's very fair criticism
I think it’s probably even worse than that, it’s a group of people wanting attention and publicity, using a cause that an Elon hating mainstream can use, for mutually helping each other.

I principled person would at least quit before making a scene in the media, rather than spamming many people in the company.

This is look at me behaviour coupled with politics at its worse.

This letter. Unless mere mortal workers staying focused is more important than the God-CEO staying focused. In which case, maybe compensation needs a serious re-think.
That doesn't seem right either. Do you actually have any evidence for what you're saying?
> At what point do we simply ask if Amazon leaders have no sense of decency?

We don't need to ask, we already know. Actions speak louder than words anyway, and we've all seen how they treat all their workers: from warehouse to corporate. One would be a bit naive to think only their warehouse workers get treated badly, corporate workers are slapped around just as much in their own way.

Even in death, Amazon doesn't care and will lie through its teeth:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/oct/17/amazon-wa...

> Billy had lain on the floor for 20 minutes before receiving treatment from Amazon’s internal safety responders.

> Bill was laying there for 20 minutes and nobody nearby saw until an Amnesty worker with a radio came by.

> A couple of days before, he put the wrong product in the wrong bin and within two minutes management saw it on camera and came down to talk to him about it

> “After the incident, everyone was forced to go back to work. No time to decompress. Basically watch a man pass away and then get told to go back to work, everyone, and act like it’s fine,”

> Amazon said it had responded to Foister’s collapse “within minutes”.

Amazon will just keep doing what it's doing because it can. Like you mentioned, online perception has gotten worse ever since that 2015 article, so clearly they just don't care about anything other than profit. Warehouse workers have had enough, they're pushing back by organizing their rights collectively. But so should corporate workers, we shouldn't have to keep watch over our shoulders every time we go to work in fear of PIP, or even at the interview stage where we have to suspect if we're getting "hired to be fired".

It's ridiculous. We should organize too.
I came to Linux from a Windows world, so KDE always made more sense to me. I think, with the exception of 4.0, KDE has been fundamentally less bad than gnome since at least 2002. A sweet spot for me was KDE3.5 and then again current day KDE plasma. I like the customisability.

I think the gnome foot is a better icon, though.
But does anyone buy those - the very term "commercially supported" implies it's being marketed toward companies (think: enterprise) and everyone knows enterprise software is the most user-friendly ever invented (oh wait, the users are the purchasers).

That's a really excellent historical example to bring up, and, "no".

Edison and Tesla were definitely NOT equally capable. Tesla was an absolutely genius inventor and scientist, and Edison was a genius businessperson and good inventor. (Or something like that, TBH it wasn't Edison's biographies I poured over in highschool!)

Tesla received life-long backing and support from Westinghouse, major investment from JP Morgan, and more.

Edison tried, and for a chunk of time, did succeed at pushing Tesla out of the way, but I'd strongly argue that the things that sunk Tesla were not ways that Edison pushed him out of the way, nor would I argue that Edison ever really succeeded at pushing him out of the way.
That's incorrect, and accusing people of not having read something is against the site guidelines.

Predatory pricing just needs to be done from a dominant market position, which is absolutely a label that applies to the giant tech firms being discussed. You only need to be in a market position strong enough to wield the pressure needed to force competitors out of market. You absolutely do not need to be effectively a monopoly.

> "Having a proper library of native widgets is outdated and should be removed, so we're replacing it with Libadwaita!"

...and so on and so forth...
> If Apple uses Intel in the future it would very likely be to fabricate Apple designed CPUs rather than source CPUs from Intel.

Totally agree, but I think that would be fascinating to see. It's essentially the end-goal of a lot of the political/national security growing concern over semiconductor capacity. I could imagine it being pretty subsidized and even a token inclusion at first just due to outside pressures and incentives, but I'm just speculating.

Here is the ultimate problem with GNOME. It is essentially a lie.

What I mean: Imagine you bought a ticket for Matrix 4, and they showed John Wick.

That's what GNOME 3 did. They made a new and different product; whether you like it more or less than the last one isn't the point. They betrayed the reliance we had on the old thing by a "lie of omission." A more honest approach would have been to name Gnome 3 something different (and perhaps hand the Gnome name off to the MATE people?)
Google has fired plenty of people for openly criticizing them. I never said an organization will necessarily fire someone for openly criticizing leadership. It's a case by case but within their right.

I personally think its obnoxious and counterproductive for someone to call management out publicly. That's no way to operate an organization. Its a sign that someone is toxic. Some orgs like Bridgewater tried that but that's def not a place I would want to work. The appropriate channels and structure exist for a reason. They're not perfect but I'm not arrogant enough to think I know better than everyone else

I avidly follow descendants of Scheme and Haskell (I figured out for example how to build Idris native on an M1 Mac), and I plan to follow Ante. I just spent $5k of lunch money on an M1 Ultra Mac Studio, to use as a math compute server. How do I keep it busy? Haskell. My "Hello world" parallel benchmark, using reverse search to enumerate the 66,960,965,307 atomic lattices on six atoms, took 14 hours in 2009. It now takes four minutes.

I'd love to start again with a new, small language. I love Haskell, but it's decades old, and one struggles to work with it without being torn apart by the gravitational tides of the black hole at the center of its galaxy. All jokes aside, Haskell really does reward a PhD in category theory, or the self-taught equivalent later.

Functional languages make parallelism easier, and Haskell has put particular effort into this: Adding a dozen lines to a program can keep the 16 performance cores of my Mac Studio running full tilt. I have yet to read any account of how someone else's favorite language makes parallelism easy, that is aware of the comparison with Haskell. If I thought there was a reasonable alternative, I'd jump at trying it.

Rust appeals because it replaces GC with modern control of allocation lifetimes. I love how Ante will also explore this. I use cyclic data structures; how one handles this functionally, and how one handles this using reference counting, is exactly the same problem.

Parallelism should be the first consideration, designing any new language in 2022. Parallelism is the reason I keep using Haskell, despite newer alternatives. Any language that runs on a single core is a toy. This is a plea!
Yeah upgrading the lines is way more complicated than "stick a self-contained diesel electric on the front of the train".
For people who must have non-stick pans, go with OXO and nothing else. They're PFAS & PFOA-free and tested by America's Test Kitchen to be the best non-stick pans (and I can anecdotally back that up).

Huge difference between calling out issues and publicly demanding the CEO to be fired.
After reading a few articles about how poorly Brex has handled this, I learned the Chief Communications Officer had 12 years of formative experience at Oracle (https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-tillman-776a08/) and since worked at only large corps.

That would explain the heavy corp speak and complete lack of transparency. I don't expect them to budge or concede on any of this since the playbook is double-down, deny, and let it blow over. Blah.

I'm moving my funds out of Brex and will never bank with them. If you're in the same boat transferring founds out, be sure to leave a penny in your account and take a look at:

- https://www.mercury.com for small business banking. This is who I bank with now for small accounts and it works great. My only complaint is they don't yet have a credit card product, which makes purchasing online slightly riskier since debit disputes are harder than credit.

- https://www.airbase.com if you're looking for Brex Empower that doesn't have a track record of pulling the rug out from under people and need to control spend, etc. I've had experience running millions of dollars through Airbase and its great. No complaints. They're also great at responding to the needs of users.
> These are more accurate

I can't imagine the difficulty to accurately measure the success or failure of long-tail HR hiring processes like phone screens. The success or failure of a candidate post-hire has so many variables it must be very hard to attribute them to signals present in a screen. I imagine most of the data points are derived from signals found in successful candidates, and then trying to find them in an assessment or screen.

Its really hard, and I hope the negative tone of my comment does not suggest I don't respect the problemset and the people willing to throw themselves at it.
Did you try emailing them? Wouldn't be surprised if you could place a "custom order" since it seems a very small outfit (or maybe not, I don't know).

IMO, pre-2017 prices for BTC (<$1000) returning is inevitable. If Tether fails, then pre-2014 prices (<$100) are more likely. BTC was at $5K a little over 2 years ago, anyone who thinks the bottom is at that level is deluding themselves.

That's also Twitter's policy on trolling and harassment which his totally sincere "free speech absolutism" seeks to end.

Intimidation isn't asking fellow employees if they agree with the content of an open letter, it's public figures calling a blogger and telling them if their blog criticising Tesla isn't taken down, their totally unrelated boss will be getting a phone call . Guess which one Musk personally involved himself in...
I'll add that this doesn't just apply to code. With the arrival of legible text generators like GPT-3, you can imagine someone writing pulp novels visually they do games.

But there'll still be room for authors who hand-craft new works that challenge or reject those pulp formulas, and readers who are bored by identifiable formula will be looking for them.

"General" software contains too much variability.

The "no code" for building games is for building games. If you wanted a no code platform for building, say, embedded software, it would be a different no code platform. For building GUIs? Another different platform.

There actually is (or was, 15 years ago) a "no code" platform for embedded systems. It basically builds a state machine, plus tables of structs that look a lot like SQL tables (not how you access them, but the style of how data is organized into tables). It had the ability to run snippets of actual code when entering or exiting states. It was not generally used, though. The main thing it brought to the table was the ability to test the code (or at least the model of the code) on the desktop.
