Think about long-term strategy for your project. Sustainability is really important. I think open source sustainability is broken in this day and age. It’s not charity, it’s value in return. Every feature we work on has to be beneficial to the web ecosystem and to users.
Every kid does have a pencil. Judging from stories my mother and mother-in-law tell (both public school teachers, one in the inner city), the teachers have to provide one for them because the kids have not been taught how to remember to bring them and they have no ability to punish them for forgetting them.

My mother-in-law literally hands out a bag of 10 mechanical pencils at the start of the semester to each student, which she pays for herself. A week later these kids are asking her if they can have a pencil.

Again, the issue is discipline and motivation. The kids have zero incentive to remember to bring a pencil, and zero consequences if they forget. If anything, they're being taught that you don't have to be responsible: the teacher will bail you out anyway and can't impose consequences if you don't remember.

These kids, even in low-income areas, go to school in palaces. These buildings get so much funding from states, federal government, and the Department of Education that they often abandon perfectly useable buildings to build brand new ones to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. Your comment about asbestos is a complete strawman.

You want to make a kid feel hopeless? Put him in a 45-minute math class where the teacher has to spend the first 15 minutes of class dealing with three troublemakers who are so disruptive they have to be sent to the office multiple times a week. The kids in that classroom will quickly internalize the idea that education doesn't matter, discipline doesn't matter, that they themselves don't matter.

That's what's driving the hopelessness you describe. Multiply that by 180 days a year, 12 grade levels, and yeah, you'll get the negative synergistic spiral you described in another comment.

If kids don't learn discipline at home, and don't learn a modicum of it at school, well, you get crime. Not a year goes by where my mother-in-law doesn't see the mug shot of one of her students from 10 years ago on the nightly news. It shouldn't be surprising to anyone that after living 18 years without any real consequences for their behavior, these kids get out of school and sometimes turn into criminals.

Teachers can't even teach in many of these schools. They spend more than half of their time writing up troublemakers for the nth time this semester and leaving voice messages on their absentee father's phone. Who wants to sign up to be a teacher in that environment? The exodus of teachers from the public schools proves my point.

You want to give those kids hope? Discipline them. Kick the troublemakers out of school if they continue to misbehave. Show them that they matter enough to properly educate and train. Not just reading, writing, and arithmetic, but the basics of society: some behavior is not okay and will not be tolerated, things are expected of you, and their are real and sometimes painful consequences for not meeting those expectations.

Do that and you'll see something crazy happen: those kids will start learning, behaving, and growing into productive, honest, good citizens. Most of the problems you describe will disappear. Until we do, expect more of the same.
DeX had an Ubuntu 16.04 desktop in a container, developed with Canonical. It was beta and run on Galaxy Tab S 5e and few other models.

Consider that most internet-connected people only have a phone, and many that own a "real computer" use it primarily for work. The phone has their banking info, health info, personal communications, professional communications, most of their browsing history. A huge number of people manage their taxes on their phones. I think Apple's claim that in aggregate they are more important than laptops/desktops is largely accurate.

That said, I consider that all the more reason that people should be able to run whatever software they wish on their phone. The present paradigm of such a personal device's operation being totally out of the hands of its owner is troubling.
I can imagine that a new form of partnership would help, a marriage 2.0. Some people do not want to commit for the rest of their life, dont want the hassle of a potential divorce and people realised that we are living much longer today and that life partners can change.

Hence, something more modern might help. Give people tax benefits, make it easier to close and you will have positive effects quite quickly.

And yes, life is getting less fair for some, more fair for others. According to the article single men dont make more money than 30 years ago, women, however, do.

This is a positive effect of feminism. Why should you pay a guy more if a girl can do the same job. Both will get the same. This leads to the effect described in the article.

The time where a women HAD to get married to a man for economic benefits is over. The times where a man could provide for a family on his single income is over. And those times wont come back.

Time to evolve and reinvent.
I am not arguing that lambda is sentient. I am saying that to even have that discussion a commond understanding of meaning of "sentient" has to be established. Otherwise you cannot even establish a consensus or say people agree on the matter.

I find SQL harder to work with because I'm used to reading and writing functions - functions that have explicit parameters with (hopefully) explicit types, and explicit return types.

So I was hoping PRQL might have some sugar like that.

It'd be nicer for my brain if I could treat any select like a function that transforms a set. Instead, even with PRQL, I'm stuck examining source tables and fully understanding them before being able to understand the query.
> It not right to say it’s irrelevant, it is, but the most important thing is what the market is willing to pay

That's what he's saying, just he's a step ahead of you. Why is the market willing to pay that much? Because that is what they see the company being worth in the future. Repeated studies consistently the correlation between stock price and future returns to investors when adjusted for other factors that might shift value away from the investor (eg, bad governance, risk, etc). There is no predictor that is better (this is important part - its comparisons against other indicators when trying to predict the future - bc predicting the future is kind of difficult).

> Additionally, I think your equation is wrong.

market cap is forward looking. balance sheet value is backwards looking. market cap is also a guess on how much is returned to investors and not taken by other factors - legal, illegal, intended, or unintended.

Viewing the market as irrational is essentially an anti-science stance - its religious. There is no way to prove that belief wrong because people just keep saying its being irrational when it disagrees with their valuation.
I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion. In my experience the points you made are used as justification by those responsible for delivering those things as to why they are not doing so. Essentially, house builders want to maximise profit and not build parks. Neo liberals don't want public transport to be subsidised as a public good etc etc.

When we build, to we absolutely must build the right thing because changing it later will be much harder. That does involve lots of hard work persuading people of the benefits.
This feels like something that would have passed as comedy 10 years ago, but feels tried and predictable now.
I fully agree. My theory is that "cookie" is just a term that people memorize. Other tracking methods dont have such fancy terms. It is OK for professionals, but for decision makers that are no experts in that field, it is hindering.

If I could get them jazzed to tell me about their editor configuration, that was almost always a good candidate. Because people who care about writing code care about editors.

I've spent a great deal of time modifying my editor config. I advocate for "tools day" where I work, which is a day where a team get together to share ideas about tooling and collaborate on config to make the team more productive. I regularly share what I change in my config with people.

I couldn't spend more than 30 seconds talking about it though. I have a problem, I solve it, I share the solution, and I spend no time or effort remembering what I did after that. It's one of the least interesting things about dev...

Well also Rotherham in the UK is a town with over 100k people, though not US-style "small town", it's certainly not a city, and not even a particularly huge town (there are many 100k+ towns that aren't cities: the largest is Reading with nearly 1/4 million)

But that might be just a UK naming thing since "city" means something special (and isn't actually especially related to size: the smallest one is 1600 people).

But yes, perhaps it's not really a "small" town but just a town.

> ...is implemented but half-baked, doesn’t work...

We have to discuss that, because malicious compliance of "fine, we'll make a poor implementation so you can't rely on it" is something they may be doing to nudge developers to Apple's "preferred" app system.

IndexedDB... A pillar of the PWA set of APIs (You know, it's kinda handy to be able to save and search structured data locally in adverse network conditions). Their regression testing on this is non-existent. One could maybe forgive a poor initial implementation, but they keep. breaking it. every. other. release. On no other platform do we run into this issue.

Somewhat saved by them aggressively clearing PWA data if not used within a ~"week or two", so if we detect Safari, indexedDB is more used as a sketchy temp cache, and we aggressively try to sync as much as possible to remote to prevent data loss.

FormData is another API, it took them over 2 years to get past having just the append() function after everyone else implemented the full spec.
Every other browser you can call set() and be done, Safari? Recreate the FormData object with the modified value.

Date inputs, iOS has incredibly gimped Date inputs to this day (cannot set min/max/step to improve UX by clamping users to relevant date ranges for say, booking an appointment), on desktop it was NON-EXISTANT till Q2 2021, and now it's a also gimped but in slightly different ways to iOS date input.

I don't like Safari because I can't get uBO or Tree Tabs for it, and because it's often the odd-one-out between the Chrome/Firefox/Safari triopoly in terms of feature support. The battery efficiency is nice though.

It's possible to unclutter the normal menu, and the nested menu always requires extra clicks, and additionally - all the options I ever use are always in that new submenu.

The whole argument is bogus anyhow - if win11 wanted to avoid orphaned context menu registrations, then it makes sense to tie those to installed programs. However, that has nothing to do what's nested and what's not.

Yes, windows should likely make it easier to declutter the contextmenu, and yes, that may require a new api. But the new interface is still a really poor choice even assuming those are givens.
This does look really slick. Bummer that it can't integrate directly with Dropbox, but I think I can live with that.

Also there's Drone CI, which also supports setting up dependencies in your pipelines, if you'd prefer something that's not connected to GitLab CI so closely: https://docs.drone.io/pipeline/docker/syntax/parallelism/

It's not necessarily a disorder - AFAIK psychiatry considers something a disorder only if it causes harm to yourself or others. That's why being a homosexual is not a disorder, nor is being schizoid - if you're happy with that lifestyle, and not harming others, then it's not a disorder. I have a brother who is most likely schizoid, and he is - as far as everybody can tell - pretty happy and harmless.

I'm afraid I'm not following your point.

My understanding is that "yourself", "myself", etc. are reflexive pronouns. I.e., they're used when and only when referring to the very same person as the sentence's subject.

The examples you mentioned fit that pattern. The message on the computer screen doesn't.
This opinion is ignoring the fact that Apple's build quality and long-term compatibility keeps their machines alive and useful longer than most other machines out there. Lenovo/IBM not withstanding.

Most of us probably don't interview at a statistically significant sample of companies, so I guess it's hard to say. For the record, I recently did three tech interviews for tech lead level roles.

* Company A: Small startup in a non-profit space. Technical part was an informal chat with a current tech lead, which led to them sending me a list of high level general questions around architecture and design to be discussed on a follow up call, then it moved on to a third non-technical round. Good approach overall, I appreciated being able to prepare in advance instead of being given a pop quiz, and I think it unpacked my skills pretty well. Total time maybe 3 hours? It led to an offer.

* Company B: Medium sized ecommerce company. Technical part was a live coding challenge via screen share, with a tech lead and an engineering manager watching. Think "given this list of categories and items, how would you loop over it to find the item with the highest cost? How about all the items in a specific category? How about all green items in any category?"; a very simple problem, used purely as a jumping off place to discuss thought processes, trade offs, approaches, tools, algorithms, etc. I dislike live coding challenges, but this was about as good as could be expected, and led to two more follow up round of high level architecture and design questions. Three total rounds, each 1 hour. Again led to an offer.

* Company C: Medium sized developer tooling company. Started with an take-home assignment that was very poorly defined. I was verbally told it should take "an evening" and "don't take it too seriously", but as I later found out they were expecting more like 18+ hours, finished to the standard you'd expect in production, ie, thorough unit tests, good code coverage, carefully chosen variable and method names, completely documented, all edge cases handled, etc. I didn't make it to round two, which would apparently have been a rigorous code review exercise on the code from the first step, which at the point I'm counting as a win.

I honestly disliked the coding challenge from company B, and semi-enjoyed the one from company C (or what I thought they were asking for). But I'd have been reluctant to spend the incredible amount of time they expected on an unpaid coding challenge even if they'd managed to convey they wanted that, which they didn't.

So based on my experience, about 1/3 of companies out there have terrible interview processes.
Germany may be a bit behind here but the point at which a fetus transforms into a human isn't too relevant at first. Formally all abortions are unjust towards the (potential) person, no matter how early or late the abortion happens.

The question of when human lives begins can be a religious argument but it may as well be not. In the same vein the valuation of human life to be precious is either religious or ideological as well.
Begrudgingly accepting the mainstream way of doing things sounds a bit more in line with the blue pill than the red pill to me, idk. Though I guess realizing the silliness of the whole situation would give it a bit of a purplish tint maybe.
Ahhh I want this so bad! I'm a wheelchair user and moving things around is incredibly frustrating, since you need both hands free to push the wheels. You can kinda get away with holding a cup of water by pushing one wheel at a time and switching the cup from hand to hand, or pushing off of countertops with your free hand, but it's annoying and dangerous if you're moving fragile items or hot liquids.

I really hope this doesn't cost too much. Disabled people tend not to have much money, and my insurance company wouldn't even pay for ramps, much less something like this.

It was cathartic to read and you're right about the projection.

In a kind of similar vein, I did some write-ups in the past where I analyzed controversial people and thought I'd do so without weighing in with my personal opinion on them.

So then I basically got a bunch of emails from socially-frustrated readers looking to relate to me as their new comrade, because we were both obviously fans of these controversial people.

It seems there are a lot of socially-frustrated people out there who don't read between the lines, and who also don't believe it's appropriate to even do anything that's in between any lines, so to speak. So I wonder if this is related to the social frustration...
In my experience so far, I _exclusively_ use the options in the new submenu. It's purely a usability regression so far.

You can make the case for a new API to avoid orphaning, and for greater traceability - and also, hopefully, for better performance. But I sure hope the end result will be more usable not less, and I'm pretty disappointed that this intermediate step is such a step backwards.
