No more details? Don’t you have at least some blurry images in your mind or particular scenes?

E.g. there are games that I couldn’t remember, one was a quest(?) in a set of pictures and a submarine, dark tones, mysterious. I remember a full outside view of it and then few screens inside.

Another was a dos game that had a fullscreen map of some galaxy and a cursor in a form of a torn hand. Five blobs below the map were unnamed(?) buttons on a strange panel. One button sent you flying through a “canyon” on a selected planet, which was drawn as a set of simple \_/ planes slightly offset from each other, synthwave style-ish but much simpler. I believe it was an early rogue like, but I was too young and knew no english to understand it.

I don’t get how one can remember something but not have any details except a period of release.

Yeah especially since there are people who view cheese as mostly disgusting. And that’s just cheese. Now snails. I find them disgusting but know people who love it. I hope they do not mind that I do not find them appealing in the least. I should be permitted to also feel disgusted.
I'm an introvert who enjoys alone time, and a parent of two. I agree with you on all your points, you're entirely correct. No, that stuff doesn't become magically enjoyable.
Windows 11's Moment 1 update is now available for download
Those are fair counter points.

Another issue is the lack of political capital. Very often a product "owner" doesn't own much at all. Some may have reasonable decision power but it's constantly undermined by powerful other stakeholders.

The problem often starts from the very top. Say a CEO tells the business to grow revenue by 20%.

The business/markets then come up with terrible ideas to do that. Aggressive, cutting corners, user-hostile, but likely to work in the short term.

Then they ask the PM to implement it. You can't stop it at this point.
My kids are 5 and 2. I spend increasing amount of time with the 5 year old. Doing different projects, reading, math, teaching him how to read watch, talking about how stuff works. I don't know if it's less, it's just different.

I have a 3 year old, 17 month old, and a 3 week old. My oldest and middle child go bike riding with me and my bike trailer. They also go kayaking with my wife and I. It can be a chore at times but over all it’s not and very enjoyable. They have a shorter limit than us for doing things.

It’s not a chore it’s a necessity. They are such a joy sometimes it’s unbelievable so you just grind it out. The lack of sleep is my least favorite part with the babies but it’s not so bad.
Clean Energy Has a Tipping Point, and 87 Countries Have Reached It
I'll go ahead and say that you aren't wrong.

I have four kids under eight years old. I often feel like I'm just trying to kill the hours until they nap or go to bed, when I can finally have some quiet time alone. I feel very guilty about this whenever I'm reminded that this should be the best chapter of life with my kids, and it'll fly by, and I'll miss it when it's gone. I'm not saying that I don't have moments when I gaze at my kids in awe and feel full of love (which does seem to be different when they're _your_ kids)... I'm just usually exhausted and need more alone time, as an introvert, to recharge.

The article is right that "When kids are outside for lengthy periods of time they become engaged, contemplative, calm and happy. In other words, they don't drive you bonkers!" If we're inside our house, they fight and scream and cry and make a mess and break things and never leave me alone. If I take them outside, they can spread out and explore and the house stays intact (so I don't have to clean / fix it later). Sometimes at the park I can even read something or listen to a podcast / audiobook while they play.
I feel it. Whether the statistics are true or not, the idea of being 75% done with the time by 12 sounds extremely liberating. I put in the time and effort for the sake of the children, but the truth is I want them independent as soon as possible. The older they get and the less they need (and the less time I have to spend with them), the more joy I get out of life. The first year was a black hole of lots of work which obviously the child has no capacity to really express gratefulness for (not that it is owed).

There's nothing that can really prepare you to know what parenthood will be like with you're particular children, and by the time you know what it's like to regret it it's too late -- at the very least you're in it for child support. I recommend anyone who enjoys their life as it as and don't see it as a "must have" to fulfill their sense of purpose to strongly STRONGLY consider before they have kids.
The issue has been and always will be that if you only let Product determine the what, the wrong thing will be built almost one hundred percent of the time. They lack the ability to describe the "what" in a way that's practically achievable. The exact same problem exists with Design.

These people are good at their jobs, but only if they have the humility to admit that they should not be defining requirements on their own.

Development, Product, and Design require an equal voice and agreement on direction for all endeavours. Win together, lose together.

If Product don't include me in requirements gathering at all, it's their fault when it falls apart. That's hubris. It's equivalently my fault if I don't engage them. Engineering should never agree to build anything they didn't have a say in because they actually build it and can find problems with the "what" that were never even dreamt of. Equivalently, the best Product people I've worked with have always had a good idea I hadn't thought of.

Positioning one group to have final authority is a fatal mistake. The final authority already exists naturally - it's cost/benefit/time.
I've got two teenage boys and an 8 y/o daughter and this headline alone hit hard. The boys increasingly have their own lives and a growing amount of independence (which is good and we allow/encourage) but these days, scrolling through old iPhone photos when they're wearing Curious George tee shirts and whatnot can get you emotional fast in a way that didn't happen before. They increasingly don't need us nor want us around every last second, and I get it, but it can be a bitter pill to swallow. We're extra appreciative of every last second with our daughter now, and we tell our friends with little kids the same cliched advice to soak in every possible moment while they're young. It really is a special time both for you and them and it's when you'll spend the most time with each other.

I've reached my 40s, but I have lots of memories of things I did with my parents and others from I was 4 and up. Not super special stuff either, but also "daily" interactions.

Now, I don't feel like I have a particularly great memory, I just imagined everyone could recall many different things from their childhood.

However I've noticed in the last few years both my SO and my mom often utter surprise when I recall some episode from when I was a kid, like "wow, you remember that?" Almost makes me feel like some weirdo for recalling that early stuff.

As to the topic at hand, since I do recall a fair bit from I was 4 and up, I'd say the time I spent with my parents before I was 12 definitely shaped me. So while I don't recall details of may conversations or similar, their parenting and behavior left a lasting impression.
That's fair. I can see how the quotes would easily imply I'm suggesting these people aren't real scientists. I am however, suggesting though that in articles like these, they aren't doing science, and they could do much better. For instance, I think it would be more "scientific" to review various definitions of GOF research and suggest how this research might or might not fit each definition. This would at least have the appearance of being more objective and gathering data on existing usages of this word.

And, to slightly correct your summary, I'm saying scientists are often conducting politics, or operating in the political arena (or moral arena), while, either explicitly or implicitly, taking advantage of the scientific credibility that society gives them by default. It's articles like these that land in leftwing fact-checking sites like Politifact that are then used as solid evidence that a particular claim is "misleading" or "mostly false."

> Data import/export has always been a weak point with the iOS

I don't think this is really very true anymore, and I say that as someone who moved away from using an iPad as my main portable. I'm sure there are specific cases where that's still a problem, but now that it has a file manager, USB drive support, a full array of cloud services support, etc. etc., this is just not a big deal.

At any rate, if you're a dedicated Microsoft Office 365 user, you can be working on the iPadOS version of Excel and using the same files stored in the same cloud service (ideally OneDrive, of course, from Microsoft's point of view) pretty transparently.
It's a job of many roles and it's a crazy difficult job to do well at. I'd never do it again. Engineering feels like a cake walk in comparison.
That's not wholly true. Kong has a lot of FOSS plugins, but also has enterprise exclusive plugins.

> view cheese as mostly disgusting

Hi, that's me! I find cheese incredibly gross, from the smell to the texture to it's taste. But I'm certain that's probably because I was raised without dairy as kid (dairy set off my asthma incredibly badly), so I never developed a taste for it. Even as an adult I still find it (and milk) gross!
It's amazing how so many people here have no clue how building codes work. There's a new version of the NEC released every 3 years. These are physical systems, not continuously deployed software being pushed to centrally-controlled surveillance company servers. They're building codes, not occupancy codes. Building codes are focused on making sure big jobs with a lot of money/effort have sane defaults, and weren't skimped on to save a few percent. A house built X years ago is still an X year old house, and everybody knows it.

The egregious safety problems (eg knob and tube, fuses, Federal Pacific breakers) are taken care of by insurance companies. Or state laws that address the specific problem (eg septic, smoke detectors, etc). One can certainly have an opinion that something specific should be added to the regulations that apply when selling, but the out of touch comments here are far from informed.

Also some of the recent changes in the NEC are actually not beneficial to many people - eg the plastic gates in TR receptacles that tend to bind up and bend plug prongs, and shoddy overaggressive AFCIs running proprietary software. That you're generally left alone in the privacy of your own home without an inspector coming around every year and making you remodel is a feature, not a bug.
Well, why would any business want to have a standout SKU, and hurt their other SKUs? I guess this could also be a tactic, make one model "best feature/price ratio".

For better or worse, there's not "bang for the buck" iPad model. It really scales linearly. The more you pay, the more you get.

New budget iPad - $450 - Doesn't support Pencil 2. Want that? Upgrade to Air. Weakest processor.
iPad Air - $599 - Support Pencil 2. Weaker screen technology. Mid tier processor.
iPad Pro - $799 - Best of everything (except for MiniLED, which you need the 13" iPad Pro).

It really depends on how much features you can live with.
It's been that way since day one. The first gen iPhone had perfect smooth scrolling, even if it took multiple seconds to load the actual content.

Android was horrendous garbage at the beginning, and eventually became somewhat less garbage, but there's still no comparison with iOS.

Yup. Honestly at many companies the CEO is the only real decision maker and everyone else is just execution. No matter what their title says.

To your point on stakeholders - most PMs are just trying their best to balance the 35 different constraints/ideas thrown at them by the 5 or 6 most important stakeholders all while appearing upbeat and happy because the PM is supposed to be Miss/Mr/Mrs Positivity.
And I love watermelon and it does not bother me that they are nutritionally light and contain sugars.
How can a retiree or poor middle class person get a loan? They probably have below 650 credit. The house hasn’t seen an updated in 20 years. Any delay in construction will put them under water for years. For the poor, there is no path for success, as the house is probably the only assets they have.

My old neighborhood has a bunch of 80 year olds with houses worth a million easy without any mortgages. You would think the banks would give them loans to fix things up. Nope, not a chance. The banks are waiting for them to die and make money off the next mortgage.

Making TLS a kernel subsystem which dispatches to a common userspace provider though would not. The issue is that every application has to link and use TLS libraries on their own - they don't just ask the kernel for "a secure socket".

So we wind up in this space where a transport level protocol is for some reason being handled by the application stack, in a million different places and only somewhat common by convention (which we've gone and broken with containerizing userspace).
Completely agree with this comment. Having two kids is the best thing that's happened to me in life. Sure it's hard, especially early on. But to see them grow and make the right decisions is a better feeling than any work project or hobby can provide.

There are tons of filters people need today. There are no longer secretaries proofreading or lawyers reviewing given the get it done in an hour demands put on people. I would pay a ton for something that automatically fixes know what Twitter is angry about today so I don’t need to keep up on trends, be able to make sure language is gender neutral an unlikely to offend special interests, warn of internationally sensitive phrasing, reword anything that could be hate speech, warn when you are likely going to tick off the SEC. People are far too emotionally invested in what others say and it would be great if you could just send public text through a few filters in the name of not publicly embarrassing yourself. I should imaging a popup saying “that is dumb, illogical, and going to violate a TOS unless you change it like this” will shortly be a common popup instead of flags for review.

The surprise is not that it is coming, but that it hasn’t been a thing for years given how flammable the internet is.
RSA SecurID requires their app for TOTP because they have some secret company seed, or something.
Yes, spending time with little kids can be really boring, be present when it counts though. This period of life doesn't last forever so take care of your health and maintain your important relationships with whatever energy you can muster.

Every time I look at pictures of my kids when they were younger I feel a tinge of regret for not being more in the moment.
Ah product teams.

I'd be convinced it is a jobs program for overqualified ivy league grads, and as a SWE I thought that for a while, but a GREAT product and/or project manager is worth their weight in gold.

That being said most of them I've worked with in FAANG/FAANGlike are meh to terrible.

Product really suffers from the worst part of being a manager, where you don't control the outcome of other people's work, with the ability to blame shift a lot easier than being a manager since you're managing a product not people. This also makes them super mercurial and since they can move around a lot.

It's doubly an issue, bc a good/great engineering team can compensate for dumb product decisions or timelines with crunch and overtime that destroys the team. Product manager can say see what a good job I did, and then dip to another team before any of the consequences are realized.

They end up doing tons of useless CYA type stuff that gunks up the works under tight deadlines. 90% of PMs I've worked with paid lip service to "unblocking" you, but at best would function as an email relay.

That said, great PMs are fucking fantastic at large orgs.

Project managers: know who to talk to, when to escalate quickly, get everyone on the same page including bad managers, unblock engineering by dealing with all the status update bullshit. Build reasonable timelines, fight scope creep, hold people accountable, and do reasonable amounts of CYA to make disputes quick.

Product managers: Do fantastic market research w/ rigorous testing, constantly talking to users, building a consensus on the team on the product vision instead of just throwing commandments to the engineers. Focuses on the important features that drive impact instead of throwing the kitchen sink in there, takes feedback from engineering on the product, and pulls everyone's work into the view of leadership.
EDIT: One more critical thing PMs should do is be able to get tradeoffs and make a business decision. Under a tight deadline should we prioritize the feature working w/ constraints or delay further.

Maybe another blog post.

This is rather misleading since Microsoft has enormous guaranteed revenue streams and could afford to subsidize VS Code perpetually as a loss-leader for their other services. Saying they're doing better requires a very narrow perspective which assumes you're not competing with them for operating systems, office software, etc.

I don't love Firefox having ads but it's also literally a single checkbox which you can choose to uncheck on that page and there's a difference between showing ads and violating privacy. If you want to see a web where privacy is respected more, I'd want it to look at lot like what Mozilla does as an intermediary preventing those advertisers from collecting PII.

Exactly. /r/tipofmytongue is an incredible community.
I've been using real computers with real OSes for a very, very long time, and when someone says "hey, could you send that file to me," I confess my first thought is not, "Why, sure! Let me just configure a network share that you can mount on your system to do it, because that is obviously the easiest possible way I have at my disposal!"
Clearly some people just don't care about that sort of thing. Look at the popularity of Jupyter notebooks, Julia, etc.

There just isn't much forcing people to engage in good software development and operational strategies. Sometimes there are regulations in the field (PCI, HIPAA), sometimes adversaries force care (state sponsored attacks on Google), but that's kind of rare. The usual forcing function is a competitor that delivers features faster than you. In that case, maybe "live programming" is worth a look. I've never seen "less bugs" on a product comparison sheet, for example.

(It's a contentious view, and I'm personally not a fan. I like it for software I'm sitting in front of, like Emacs, but hate it for things that need to run unattended on their own, which is like everything except text editors. And "less bugs" is a big selling point for me personally. Every bug I run into consumes time that I'd rather spend elsewhere. But, not everyone sees it that way.)
