The same was systemd did? The force of a multi-billion dollar company, where profit is far more important than doing it right?

Linux and OSS software became what it is, became the stable, secure powerhouse it is, literally dominating every aspect of computing, because profit was originally less important.

Look at Debian, which only ships when ready, and never ever to a fixed deadline.

Yet today, almost all private corps take and take and take, without every contributiong code and workers back.

Look at Ubuntu, a distro which literally could not even remotely exist without Debian, from which most of it is derived, and rebased to constantly.

To Ubuntu, a great leech of the OSS world, it is more important to give a crappy experience(snaps), than use Firefox LTS, for example.

Good grief.
Wait? Really? I've been out of the loop regarding Signal. But "crypto punk/anarchist" Moxie Marlinspike is using DMCA takedowns and doesn't like decentralization and 3rd party clients? I'm flabbergasted.

What’s so bad about optimization efforts? I would prefer normalizing layoffs with 12 weeks severance package to normalizing developers who code 10 hours a week and whose cost the companies inevitably pass on to their consumers.
You're making the implicit assumption that sugar substitutes do reduce the risk of being overweight. At least the first post I found on the topic suggest there is evidence of "a positive correlation between regular use of artificial sweetener and weight gain"[0]

Another vote for something like libXo as the better solution. This thing is just passing the parsing problem of interacting with an unstable API to someone else and hoping they maintain theirs better than you would maintain yours.
The problem with that is that in some cases there's really nothing else someone can do. If they are a recruiter, and the company is no longer hiring, keeping that person around doesn't help anyone, including that person.

Honestly the way Stripe is handling this seems pretty good. They are telling you now that you have until March to find a new job. They are essentially doing what you suggest, without making them come to work, by essentially paying them until March.

And some of them will probably get rehired as Stripe opens up new recs. Chances are the former employees will have a fast track into the new positions as they open up.

What you suggest is basically to just drag out the inevitable to the detriment of both the company and the employee.
I believe this is because most folks who fancy themselves as vanlifers want to fulfill the idea of going off the grid, of disconnecting from infrastructure for a while. Electric doesn't really allow that because solar won't allow for fast enough charging to compete with petrol. It's also very easy to bring along a couple jerry cans of gas to extend range, whereas with solar one would have to park and wait.
> Well, that's the "treat people as grown ups part". In that: treat them as if they can read something they disagree with the "first time" and they wont melt.

It isn't one time. You get a "first time" with each new harasser. It becomes a regular occurrence that when you open your inbox somebody is there shitting on you.

> Calling people slurs or violent threats etc could always still be banned - first time you do it, you're out, or three strikes, or similar.

Why? The whole point of the idea is that people don't get banned. Returning to "well, sufficiently bad users will be banned" is just returning to the state today with people completely disagreeing about what "sufficiently bad users" means.

> Sucks to be them then! Advertisers shouldn't stiffle speech.

No. You would need to recompile the binary. This will only work for dynamically linked code.

Yes, the views fund what he gives away. But until you or I start dedicating our lives to making money to give away, I don't think either of us has a leg to stand on and criticize him [for this specifically].

I think it's a well executed project and the UI design on the editor is nicely done. We focused a lot on the API of our game engine and honed in on having a small construction kit for Sprig which seems to help people become productive. The aim is to communicate a specific mental model for Sprig games through the engine's capabilities (tile-based focused on puzzles and level design, though people have managed to do all sorts of things).
I don't have an answer which is likely to satisfy you. I'm still a grumpy old IRC user. I communicate with non-technical friends and family via email, SMS, and Jitsi Meet. I allowed myself to be persuaded to try Matrix earlier this year and so far I've regret it.

goodpoint's answer is probably the best longer term answer: someone needs to fork Signal and manage it properly. But it's not as simple as just rebranding the software, it needs lots of difficult technical work to fix its many problems.
doesn't stripe do daily payouts? i don't wat to say losing a day of revenue would be fine, but it shouldn't be a real existential risk to your business.
If you want to be reductionist, everything is a feature. But if an app is missing something so basic as to impact usability, I might consider it a bug. It's a matter of opinion where the line is, of course.

Uncontroversial example: a calculator app that doesn't have a divide key. Technically, yes, it's a separate feature from the multiply key, but it's so basic, so expected, that its absence is a bug.

From the above list, I consider "No easy way to do and restore backups on Android and impossible to do backups on their PC client" a bug, or at least a frustrating omission by design.
False dichonomy; you can choose to consume neither sugar nor sweeteners
Quality is pretty subjective. They try to quantify what people like (or rather what people will watch).
This is definitely something considered by economists; Keynes called it "animal spirits" or more boringly "expectations". If people think the economy is likely to be bad they're likely to want to take defensive action early .. causing the economy to be worse.
> Mods shadow delete your post so you can still see it but no one else does.

Mass taggers have historically been abused to ban or shadow-ban users who've posted in "bad" subreddits.

If you argued with someone in r/the Donald, you'd magically be unable to participate in a large swath of unrelated communities. Trying to appeal the bans would often result in you being permanently muted or receiving a snarky response from the mods saying it's your fault for engaging in said 'bad' communities.

This doesn’t change the fact that signal is the best option for my grandma to use still.

Moxie is no longer active in signal afaik. This is the new leadership.
The Signal developers have the freedom to distribute their application in any way they see fit. If they don't want to support your machine then that's their choice. You're free to set up a fork if you want to see change in this regard, as long as you don't violate their trademark and terms of service.

I don't use gnome-calculator on Windows because there's no official Windows distribution available for that platform. That doesn't make the Gnome devs lazy, that's just my preferences conflicting with theirs.

You're not entitled to support for your preferred distribution unless you sign some kind of (probably expensive) support contract and other people not working for you for free doesn't make them lazy or stupid.
i am pretty sure money would suck just as much when considering the amounts. if a company is giving you a pizza party, gift card, water bottle etc. worth like $5-$10, the cash equivalent is $10 extra on a paycheck.. that sounds equally juvenile as any of those other gifts because the actual insult is the _amount_ .

rewarding say a much harder *year* of work over COVID with a few giftcards or $50 sucks balls because everyone knows we deserve much more than that. the only meaningful rewards are large bonuses or promotions and that will just never happen.
Yes, that's a problem when a format is not standardized but controlled by a single entity. JPEG XL is standardized though, and backwards-incompatible changes are essentially impossible.
> I'd say it's more a measure of how well you can learn an arbitrary skill.

Time is finite. You can learn to write better programs, or grind Leetcode. Leetcode interviews favor the one who can put enough time on the latter.

A better explaination is it's a chain reaction. People who know only to Leetcode enter the industry, and ask only Leetcode questions.

I believe any change in diet also causes a possible change in gut microbiomes. Is there any reason to be alarmed about this?
It sure looks like Signal is trying to actively sabotage itself, and Canonical is happy to help.
I understand your point, but using one tool doesn’t preclude you from ever using another tool.

For example, you can sketch something in pencil before you ink it; similarly, you can use a simpler constrained framework to prototype a game before you elaborate on it.

Although 3 years is a little low, I work with plenty of people with 5 years of experience who are just as good as the best programmers with 25 years. The early years experience matters a lot, but the difference between 5 and 25 years is insignificant.

The levels are fresh out of school, have learned enough to not need hand holding, and able to make good decisions about code. You cover them very fast. There is a staff level about that, but most people don't reach that level. There just isn't need for too many of them.
Sure, if sugar sweetener is the only thing keeping you overweight.

But it's probably harder for your body to deal with being both overweight and having a weird gut biome simultaneously.
That's what I've seen (from the outside, with some friends who work at Stripe) as well - it's the old investment banking / management consulting work culture, i.e. your job is your life.
Wasn’t their own program. They have a binary they distribute, this was some other binary calling itself Signal without their approval.

UNIX's strength was never in the desktop experience, rather server room.
Asking a cop about why they didn't do their job is like asking a dev how their bug ended up in prod. You'll get an answer, but it will neither sate your desire for improvement, or actually shed light on any systemic issues.
Bottom line:

> Collectively, our study suggests that commonly consumed NNS [non-nutritive sweeteners] may not be physiologically inert in humans as previously contemplated, with some of their effects mediated indirectly through impacts exerted on distinct configurations of the human microbiome.

In other words, these sweeteners can alter gut bacteria in humans, each person can have a different reaction, and the consequences of these changes are largely unknown.

How to Build a Winning Paid Membership Program
In real morse messages, you aren't always sending full words, most of the time you are sending prosigns (abbreviations) - Think like early SMS chat. "DE" means this is, you hand over with a "K", "SK" means you are going offline, "HIHI" is like LOL, "XYL" means significant other, etc...

Things like Q get used a lot in Morse for example (look up Q-Codes) compared to real English.

So, traditional letter frequencies are not applicable (Also because the code itself is language-agnostic)

Using a tree like this to decodee also sucks from a speed perspective. You need to learn the sounds /not/ count the dits/dahs if you want to get a good word per minute.

source: radio ham who knows morse and can do 20+ wpm.

A lot of weird stuff in morse and things also comes from older comms methods like Semaphore - The reason we have M in Scottish callsigns for ham radio is because M is the saltire (Scottish flag) symbol in Sempahore, for example.
I certainly agree - I still think most creators underestimate the necessity of putting in some leg-work to understand your audience and attaching your channel to a niche that has an existing audience at all.

Something that I ended up doing by accident was identifying a niche that a) was low risk (nothing political etc), b) had decent reach, and c) ended up with most of my traffic coming from "browse" and not "search".

Initially, I had no idea traffic coming from "browse" was indicative of content that would likely drive more long-term value outside of "news" videos.

Ironically, videos that feature community drama unfortunately still are my best performing videos.

That's all true, but it's not because of some "Eternal September"[0] effect.

It's because there are assholes everywhere. They are small in number, but they are pretty evenly spread throughout the population. Regardless of ethnicity, socio-economic status, age or any other demographic detail, they are everywhere.

And they always have been, and likely always will be.

I suppose that social media dynamic allows them to disproportionately visit their douchebaggery on the rest of us, but that's not "Eternal September." That's just humanity.

Situations like this are part of my thesis on scaling employees vertically.

People get into growth mode and overhire and then have to lay off when the bill comes due. Or permanent attrition which is also stressful.

Productivity improvement via expensive tools and training is easier to pull back from when you get to the end. It slows the headcount ramp, which resides the fishtailing at the end.

Plus I just feel far better when I can say that the team can produce more functionality per month today than six months ago. Teams that slowly grind to a halt are one of my personal Hells.

Simply put we keep putting more and more and more filtering on the user with complete disregard for physical reality here, and ignore the costs.

The company that provides the service defines the moderation because the company pays for the servers. If you start posting 'bullshit' that doesn't eventually pay for the servers and/or drives users away money will be the moderator. There is no magic free servers out there in the world capable of unlimited space and processing power.
All these companies have vastly overhired. Think of your own peers and colleagues. How many are a) utterly useless or b) competent but don't have anything to do so they spend time working on mostly pointless projects to improve their CV?

But you need to keep going back to the SSO console to switch accounts because only one can be active at once. With GCP you can have multiple tabs open with different accounts.

The best part is that the account is in the URL so you can just link to specific resources in different accounts. So many of our runbooks for GCP are like "click this link" whereas for AWS it is "make sure you are looked into {specific-account} then click this link". The latter is much more error prone and can break your workflow if you were doing something in a different account previously.
