Cool. As a user of such things. I like to go to youtube and fire up a "10 hour beat", did not see anything in that genre.
Are you in the US? I seem to be having the same problem, but in reverse - Android-isms in iOS; I am in central EU, designers/client are from Ireland.

It appears to me that they also do not differentiate between screens and modals and just pick at random which flow will be which. I am not faulting them for that, as Apple has gone pretty wild with modals lately too, but still, at least some consistency would be nice.
My wife and I donate cash to the local food bank. Cash is actually more useful to them than food donations. Occasionally they have particular drives, generally for laundry and cleaning supplies. Those we buy outright.
Those were the kind of posts I was writing, and they didn't work. A lot more effective to do a low quality outrage-economy style post. My most successful one by 100x was a generic complaint about tech recruiters.
I know you're not supposed to complain about downvotes, but seriously?! A complement about a witty comment gets me downvoted. I give up.

Meta’s Forced Sale of Giphy Halted as UK Court Orders Review
I have been using DronaHQ (https://www.dronahq.com) to build apps for my clients. I really like the ability of designing frontends quickly using some greate UI components (my most commonly used one is their table grid) that work both as web apps and mobile apps. Simultaneously we can publish for all the platforms. It supports version control, version rollback as well as intigration with Git.

I have used DronaHQ to integrate and create apps on top of databases like MongoDB, MySQL, Postgres and a handful more and the power really shows in the platform's performance when it comes to looking up over 10000 rows of data (through smart optimization techniques ofcourse supported by the tool) which I am yet to find elsewhere.

I am definitely saving a lot of time and able to create some fairly complex tools such as a custom CRM, dynamic inspection forms, approval management apps.
Wouldn’t this ruling destroy Glassdoor’s business model? And wouldn’t Zuru actually shoot themselves in the foot with this move? I’d certainly stay away from a company that is this litigious for such a thing. I think it would have been a better option for Zuru to have hired a new management (or reshuffle the old one at least) and do some PR to clean their name. At least they’ll learn about the Streissand effect
The problem isn't defense spending, the problem is resource misallocation, fraud and waste. The US is at the top of the healthcare expenditure per capita comparison by far [1] - there is enough money "in the system", it just ends up at the completely wrong places.

The US spends almost double as much money per citizen as countries as Germany, and yet, the quality of healthcare and accessibility are so much better here than the horror stories that regularly pop up here or on Reddit. Not to say our system is perfect - it's far from what I would consider to be decent - but the objective measurements of how the US' health care system performs are speaking clear and loud [2].

I love ambient tunes and listen to them for 1-10 hours a day while doing stuff. Any time I need to focus (even when writing an email) I'll throw on my favorite ambient music.

How is this any different? Why would I get a "premium" account for some random website when there's an entire catalog of ambient music on Spotify/Apple/etc that I could listen to?
I come from a different industry before moving into this one, but there’s a chaotic and abysmal lack of teamwork between departments in this industry that I’ve seen this far.

Have those two teams work together.

Also, foster a culture of continuous self-improvement. I’ve now seen a bunch of “it’s good enough to ship, go for it” and now whatever work arounds and bandaids are permanent. Don’t be so fast, don’t try to iterate so quickly, and focus on quality over quick ROI.

Imagine if Boeing behaved like a SaaS operator. The first version of 737 would be glued together, and in turbulence the wings would snap off “oh, I guess we should use more glue in the next version - alright guys, iterate!”

Slow down, do a good job, and the product will come.
The innovation we've enjoyed since was mostly caused by Google getting tired of waiting for either Microsoft or Mozilla to improve on the browser paradigm and footing the bill to roll their own.

Hi, @lelandfe, there's an answer for that on our FAQ:

* How is this better than "Computed Styles"?
> When you copy CSS from “Computed Styles”, aside from the declarations being longhand and bloated, it transforms all measurement units such as %, em, rem in pixels (px). This could break your website on mobile devices.

"Computed Styles" also don’t give you pseudo-classes, pseudo-elements, media queries, and keyframes styles, and don't copy multiple elements at once. CSS Scan does, and it gives you the original units and everything you need effortlessly.

Have you tried the new electric dacia? Wondering if one can just up the torque since it's electric. Would be dangerous, but curious how much faster it can get.
Makes sense.

There's probably some benefits around blacklists too.

For example if a user uploaded questionable content to assets.example.com/uploads, such as pirated content then someone could submit that to search engines and other lists to get your domain blacklisted. It's quite possible these blacklists could be related to the apex domain, not necessarily the sub-domain. A separate domain guarantees your apex domain won't get penalized.
Agreed re Word 97.

TBH I never found anything I needed Excel for that I couldn't do in LibreOffice Calc, so I install only Word, nothing else.

It's small and very fast on 21st century hardware. Works perfectly on WINE, including installing all the MS Service Releases.
Agreed, except in the current economy they would always go with the highest pricing they can get away with. Capitalism promised “efficiency” with regard to use of resources by always throwing a market mechanism at a problem and assuming the best. In reality, companies realized they could profit a lot more if rules were written in their favour and buying lobbyists/politicians was a bargain. So what “the markets” found was a way to maximise externalities to keep as much profit for themselves as they could (like always). And sadly this obsession for growth and wealth will lead to so much suffering due to all those externalities, especially related to the acceleration the stable climate breakdown.
Yuuup. Us fossils had a saying - "complexity kills". We learned it the HARD way.

Now the new generation of devs is re-learning the same lesson, all over again. It's all fun when you are in your 20s and the time and energy seems to be unlimited. Then you get a life, and you really start valuing a simple and working design, where everything seems under control, and your codebase is not on fire all the time.

This is why we got into distributed systems as last resort. It was a difficult solution for a difficult problem. For those that don't know, "distributed systems" is what you call "microservices" now, and 97% of the companies don't need to go anywhere near them.

Data collection is passive. TikTok, for all intents and purposes, is run by the Chinese communist government. Facebook has already shown that they can alter moods:

https://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/06/28/326453204/fa...

It's a numbers game. They have ~80,000,000 Americans tuned in. They can turn knobs when they need to alter US public opinion. A subtle shift of 80,000,000 people is big.

Many people also get their news from TikTok:

> TikTok, on the other hand, has seen a slight uptick in the portion of users who say they regularly get news on the site, rising from 22% to 29% in this period.

It's good to track different rates as you can then choose the index that suits you best. For example, RPI is typically higher than CPI, so naturally my student loan interest is a function of RPI, whereas tax thresholds are indexed to CPI.

This works well in ensuring the government can achieve its primary aim which is to transfer all surplus worker productivity to wealthy pensioners.
Yes, when I realised it's just like Facebook I decided to stop posting altogether. I never heard of angel.co as a social platform, only know of it for startup jobs. I'll have another look, thanks!
Is it possible to do something legal, yet morally wrong?
This frequently isn't true, although I'll admit it's industry dependent. This is the rhetoric used to depress the wages. Sure, they have extra costs but when you do the math, frequently the wages are still just a drop in the bucket of the operational expenditures.
IMHO, the best introductory programming course there is. I worked through it when MOOC were still free.

I think it is better structured than HtDP and the recipe pages in the wiki are priceless. Do they have a course website?

>what the world would look like without America running the show: conquest and genocide in Ukraine, saber rattling in the south china sea, genocide of the Kurds.

Meanwhile with America running the show: entire regions - South America and Middle East - largely destroyed, with tens of millions of victims.

America isn’t the “world police”, they are just the main bully.
The poverty rate in US is ~14%, that's tens of millions of Americans living in poverty. Comparing incomes directly doesn't help, how much can $5k buy you in China vs how much can the poverty level income buy you in US?
So. I understand what point your making, but I completely disagree with you.

MLOps is as much as an issue to Data Science than DevOps is to Software Engineering. Automating things doesn't make them stupid or constrained ; I don't know why you would think this creates a "cut box" workflow and sabotage the beautiful Scientific process you imagine is happening. Maybe you have an issue with some Data Scientists you are working with ?

To your other point below :

> The DS cuts a black box which MLOps tunes, monitors and re-trains.

MLOps is not about adapting or tuning a model. Not even close, it's just completely out of scope. MLOps is just a set of best practices to ensure you can compare and reproduce previous outputs (a model, plot, shap output, png, or json benchmark report, whatever you want) at any given point in time. What you do with that model, and how/when you want to train it, is your business alone. We need to call these best practices "MLOps" because it's a significant enough break from regular software engineering practices : suddenly pinning a git tag is not enough to ensure reproducibility, now, we also need to pin datasets to their specific state in time. And what about outputs that may improve over as a result ? Same.

Calling them "ML" Ops is actually a bit disingenuous. Optimisation cases (with constraint or MIP solvers) that have nothing to do with ML and models also benefit from the same framework.
You seem to have a distorted view of conservatives, maybe based on the extremes. Most conservatives want everybody to get a fair shake as well.
It is being enforced, albeit slowly. The Danish authorities pretty much just banned the use of Google Classroom in the EU -- it's one piece at the time and it takes a long time before people react, considering the decision was made based on the now two year-old Schrems II case.

From the articles:

"religious violence fomented in India across Meta’s platforms.”

"Facebook allowed a Hindu nationalist conspiracy theory to flourish on its platform"

"One video of an extremist preacher calling for Hindus to rise up and kill Muslims racked up 1.4 million views but was not deleted"

"Facebook banned a Hindu extremist group under its terrorism policies—but left most of its pages online for months after that ban, allowing them to share content"

"In Facebook posts and public appearances, Indian politician T. Raja Singh has said Rohingya Muslim immigrants should be shot, called Muslims traitors and threatened to raze mosques. [FB employees] concluded Mr. Singh not only had violated the company’s hate-speech rules "

"The company’s top public-policy executive in the country, Ankhi Das, opposed applying the hate-speech rules to Mr. Singh and at least three other Hindu nationalist individuals and groups flagged internally for promoting or participating in violence, said the current and former employees."

"team took no action after BJP politicians posted content accusing Muslims of intentionally spreading the coronavirus, plotting against the nation and waging a “love jihad” campaign by seeking to marry Hindu women"

"He has used Facebook, where his own page and those dedicated to him have more than 400,000 followers, to say that Muslims who kill cows—animals revered by Hindus—should be slaughtered like them."

"Another BJP legislator, a member of Parliament named Anantkumar Hegde, has posted essays and cartoons to his Facebook page alleging that Muslims are spreading Covid-19 in the country in a conspiracy to wage “Corona Jihad.”"

"Within hours of the videotaped message, which Mr. Mishra uploaded to Facebook, rioting broke out that left dozens of people dead. Most of the victims were Muslims, and some of their killings were organized via Facebook’s WhatsApp, according to court documents filed by police and published in Indian newspapers."

Does Glassdoor give a way for companies to do something about fake reviews that are done in bad faith? I doubt they check validity of any reviews, even if a company claims that it is fake.

I am not saying this is an example to such case but I don't see any other option. Other than perhaps suing glassdoor instead, would that do any good?

I think the simplified answer is that software scales really well. So in theory, if I pay one developer really well I can then sell whatever that developer produces a lot of times for virtually no extra cost (and no shipping/logistics). Embedded devices/hardware etc. don't scale nearly that well.
The notion which myself and others have problem with is that the US Federal Govt and the CCP are entities which we should be treating with a similar level of trust and care. The CCP has proven time and time again, be it from their refusal to cooperate with studying the source of COVID, or their continued systematic genocide of the Uighur population, that they are not a political institution which can be trusted or respected on the world stage.

This isn't to say that the USG should be admired or emulated, far from it, but as someone who's neither Chinese nor American, I think it's an objective truth that most people in the world fared better under 20th century American-hegemony than the worldwide Sinicization which the CCP has made clear is its aim.

I had a professor who’s brother worked in finance and he openly admitted his brother sometimes paid more in taxes than he got in salary. So I understand where you’re coming from.

And I do think some of that finance work has value. But let me ask, if you had to put a percentage on it, how many of the best and brightest would you want going into finance vs say, medicine or physics? At what point does it tip to being a worse outcome for society? What percentage should go to ad-spend software jobs?

The problem as I see it is when we’re acting on a value system with the singular goal of making the most money, it can become a sort of prisoner’s dilemma where the rational choice at the individual level leads to worse outcomes for the group (to include the individual making the choice)

I agree with your overall point, but I think your example might be a bit off.

Boeing also cut corners on quality, hence the issues with the 737 MAX. It's obviously not a direct comparison, but skimping on certain things to get something to market faster is not a uniquely SaaS technique.
There are plenty of regional powers that aren't particularly violent or unstable; the traditional concern--regardless of whether it's true--isn't that the US itself would devolve into chaos, it's that by suddenly ceasing to be able to project force in other countries, it would leave power vacuums.
"It is critical for a designer to go all the way through the process. Even if they aren’t actually the ones shipping production code—that knowledge about how things work tightens the relationship between them and those they work with. Designers knowing how to code and talk to users cuts down on wasted communication. It creates a tighter connection with other teammates and ensures that design is part of the process from start to finish."

That quote is from an interview I did years ago when Cap Watkins left Etsy to become Buzzfeed's VP of Design. It has stuck with me ever since.

He's speaking about designers, specifically. But I think it's important for all parties to understand as much of the process as possible. The better the understanding, the tighter the feedback loop.

The interview for anyone interested.
