I don't know where you get the idea of "increased individualism" from "woke culture". Racial justice advocates and queer leaders often talk about community and the importance of banding together - so much so that opponents have taken to branding that as things like "communism" or "black supremacy".

As for "dissolution of family", that's an anti-queer talking point; the nuclear family is not the only form of family. "Rampant degeneracy" is just a values disagreement but framed in terms of good and evil.

> Ultimately, they're a sampling of Hollywood insiders' opinions of which films were the most "Oscar" of the previous year's pick of Hollywood films, publicized to promote those films, the general idea that Hollywood is still relevant in the film industry, and the even more nebulous idea that what Hollywood defines as films are relevant in our culture.

So why does Avengers make $2B per movie - mostly overseas - if it's irrelevant? Why are more people watching Hollywood movies (and spending more money to do so) than ever before if Hollywood is irrelevant?

Just because you have different tastes than Hollywood doesn't mean Hollywood is in decline. Maybe you think the quality is. That's subjective. Someone's always going to think that.

But it's hard to argue the relevance is... Objectively, it just doesn't seem to be the case.

Are the numbers fake?

How do you define "relevant" other than people watching content in an industry defined by... people watching content?!
> A large share of the employee grievances will be things not related to pay

Might be in other cases, but in this case it's about low pay, and shitty shift patterns:

> Reportedly, retail staff at Apple Glasgow earn 12 ($15) per hour. Workers at the store say that low wages, plus unfair shift patterns and a lack of pay transparency have prompted the move toward unionization.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/06/10/glasgow-apple-sto...

They seem to also have asked for ways to enable better communication to corporate but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears, even their colleagues in other countries have ways but no one listens:

> "In the UK, Apple have staff forums, but these are continually shown to be ineffectual and feedback is ignored," one anonymous worker told the Glasgow Evening Times. "It is a one-way conversation."

I guess the conclusion is that people tried, Apple didn't want to, so now the workers forced them to listen.

I hope workers in other countries are following what's happening here and realize they have more power than what they think.

> Class B criteria is > 300K operations annually - ~200K is KAUS

Under certain circumstances > 220k annual ops qualifies an airport for Class B status [1]. Austin's 2022 vs 2021 traffic is significantly higher [2]. When you include KEDC (Austin Exec Airport) and KGTU (Georgetown Municipal), the traffic certainly appears to exceeds the thresholds in question [3][4][5]. I didn't bother to look through the other airports within the area.

> I'm curious as to what you think upgrading KAUS to Class B would exactly accomplish, especially in this scenario? This was a runway localized mistake by the controller. Also, the word in the ATC community is this tower controller had been moved around the NAS multiple times as a problem child.

Designation as a Class B changes the care with which the airspace is managed and more importantly, staffed [6][7]. Perhaps the problem ATC is fine for a less busy area, perhaps the Tower staffing could use a little more oomph in the morning hours. There might also be additional RWLS and ARIWS requirements for Class B airports (needs regulatory research - maybe ChatGPT can give us pointers since this is all supposed to be public info!).

> KSAT's airspace (not the airport, the airspace) farther south is FAR busier than KAUS and is considered some of the busiest airspace in the county due to multiple military fields in the area, extensive military training, etc. And it's also Class C airspace.

The FAA Sectional for KSAT (San Antonio) shows that there are multiple Special Use Airspaces (Randolph, Laughlin, Crystal/North, Kingsville MOAs) to separate the civilian traffic from military airspace, and the military has their own controllers [8]. Caution: 111MB file.

My edgy take is that it's the same as donating to any church.

according to this logic, total video surveillance is ok too, because it's just a tool. the government scanning all your private conversations is ok too, as long as the government is good.

but all these could be used by a government to influence the voter behaviour such that they stay in power forever, China style.

#5 is something I wish tech and educated people in general embraced more in regular everyday discourse, not just writing:

> 5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

Feynman often complained of jargon. Part of what made him such an excellent communicator/educator was his conscious avoidance of specialized terminology.

Too many abuse it as a secret handshake or low-effort superiority signaling at the expense of inclusion. As if those who don't know a few exotic words have nothing to contribute. The easiest way to prevent someone from engaging in a discussion (and thus unable to debate or challenge your ideas) is to use an unfamiliar language.

Be wary of overusers of jargon, there's a good chance they don't even know the meaning of the words.

A law already existing doesn't make something okay.
Puss in Boots was a fantastic movie for my 7-yr-old, in my eyes it's more like a hispano-western and the artwork is super interesting for me 40-yr-old. Watching it on a small screen where I constantly do breaks would be a shame.

We have a small movie theater in Linz, Austria, where they do do put up older movies, just a few months ago I was the only of two dressed as expected for Reservoir Dogs. And then they skip movies altogether and I have to the big one outside the city center. I wish they'd digitalize the movie-wishlist so I could enjoy older movies with friends that we actually want to see.
so like back in the day when gmail or Inbox were invite-only, you would've called those "vaporware" if you couldn't get access yourself, immediately? I just don't see the use of using this term for imminent releases.

Kids are smart. Their preferences fit to the shape of the arising world better.

Studios don't have to be dumb for a more optimal solution for { attention, culture, interest, sharing, signalling, popularity, fame, value, narrative, etc. } to arise.

Studios being dumb did contribute, but I think that played a more subdued role. The dominating factor is that new mediums solve the core reason for Hollywood's existence better.

> I would love to see it become a golden era of the niche matinee where smaller theaters can flourish that show older films, art films, foreign films etc.

You should love the reality we live in, then, because that's exactly what's been happening and it's in some sense part of the problem.

My spouse and I go to the theaters as often as we ever have, but it's very noticeable that the lion's share of the movies we now watch in theater are special showings of older movie classics or "cinema of country X" type festival events, which than often select from the last ten years or so. This has held for the past half-decade across two countries.

When we lived in Seoul, there was a few years when it was a popular couple date option to go to open air rooftop cinemas showing modern classics like "Her" or "Before Sunrise", or to go to the Silver Cinemas originally subsidized for seniors where you'd watch old Hollywood classics from the 40s to 60s (we managed to watch a 70mm projection of all the 4 hours of "Lawrence of Arabia" that way). Now in Berlin, there's a large selection of small cinemas showing random movies from all eras. Our favorite is situated in an old DVD store and specializes in a combo of movies and serving specialty whisky ... it's as hipster as it sounds. I think the last movies we went to see there were "First Blood" and "Persona" and "Leon", I guess.

And it's fun, but at the same time it's kind of sad your only two options are watching the latest Marvel flick or All Time Top 250 movies from the 1970s. That still means so much that movies used to be is gone. The second-tier smaller blockbusters you had in the 80s and 90s for example, non-franchise original IP, or the even the lesser known movies from decades past. If you're not on top of the food order, you're just gone.

I'm not too doom-y and gloom-y overall on the state of movies, there's still more interesting movies each year than I can keep up with if I aggregate all the possible venues. But the selection in cinemas is, well, very two-note.

The only place I ever worked at that "celebrated failure" (their own words) was an overgrown startup with no customers that was unable to ship a single product.

Now I find the expression almost repulsive. Failure is part of work, not punishing failure is ok, celebrating it by saying "we learned so much" is a serious company smell for me.
Interesting how so many people can do it, and yet there's still a very strong stigma. You'll find more people saying they are LGBTQ+ than proud porn users.

They could if they cared about actually verifying age. But they don’t.

In fact, I would guess that Google can predict your age with good accuracy without you logging in.

I’ve had kids under 13 create Google accounts that said they were 75 or whatever. Google doesn’t care. They just want you logged in and selling “targeted” ads.

I expect there will eventually be some sort of smoking class action suit that gets damages from emails knowing that accounts are 5 years old and not stopping it because of revenue. Of course I’ve been waiting a long time.
I run a 20+ person tech company.

People screw up and make mistakes all the time.

I'd have no employees if I fired everyone after every mistake. I'm almost certain the same is true of virtually every company on earth.

What really matters is how people handle themselves and others when failures occur, which is what the OP is asking about. Very valid question. Unfortunately a lot of low quality responses in the comments so far.

From my POV, mistakes/failures are a fact of life, you can't avoid them. So instead, you have to manage the risk of failures/mistakes and work to reduce that risk until it's at a risk level where management is comfortable. At in IC level, that probably means doing retrospects on major failures, why they occured, how to avoid in the future... and most importantly, focus the retros on the -process- rather than the -people-. Processes can be easily and quickly improved.. "this slipped through QA because it's not on our QA checklist" compared to "Bob is a bad coder, it's his fault"
The only way to innovate is to keep trying new things until one of them succeeds. Failure is inherent to innovation.
I worked somewhere that did it and it was completely performative.

A culture of experimentation, which as a requirement leads to failures, does not need to celebrate failure. That's like cargo cult mentality, thinking that the failure itself is causally doing something good.
Google already has an issue with accuracy - the snippets they choose are often not very correct.
If I were making a 2d only game and didn't care about consoles, 10. Godot > unity | unreal. 3d games, Unreal is still the king imo. Maybe Godot 4 will change this a bit. But I really do not like Unity so I might be biased.

FYI Godot's shortcomings in consoles is an issue with the console manufacturers not the engine.
The new lease I'm about to sign explicitly requires me to own a plunger, manage my own toilet, and if I call the building management to plunge my toilet, it's $45 an hour.
Call. It's not about who's fastest, it's about who stays in the end. Despite us humans being a lying, cheating bunch, knowledge and access to education continues to grow all over the world. That's certainly not thanks to censorship!
These rules are great for most writers to follow, but if you follow them too closed-mindedly they will limit you. Same with Stephen kings famous writing book: also excellent, but it’s more of a guide on how to write like Stephen king, who stopped experimenting with style years ago and who sadly might never write something beautiful like Jerusalems Lot again (if I’m wrong, please let me know)

You can break all of these rules for specific stylistic reasons. Eg, deliberately using a familiar metaphor or simile to evoke the attitude of those who say it. Or to convey that a character is unoriginal via dialogue.

Or maybe you use a long or extraneous word because it fits the rhythm better, which matters a lot for highly stylized works. Don Delilo changed his words for the sake of syllable rhythm a lot, his prose is incredible. Netflix just made a movie based on his book, White Noise actually which was a fun watch

The passive voice can be useful to convey things about a speaker or narrator, or even a place, or to evoke a classical feeling because the style you are using is an old one

6 is a fully trustworthy rule however.

This is just off the top of my head. I wrote articles about these things sometimes [1]

I like to pick on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as the birth of what I call the storyboard film. Characters, dialog, character-interaction, even plot are secondary to the primary construction of the film as a string of storyboarded action sequences.

Sure, "Raiders" was unabashed about that. It was reviving the style of serials that were constructed in the same manner. And I think there's a place for those films. Sadly that seemed to become the template for The Blockbuster Film ever since.

Then "Pirates of the Caribbean" and their whole franchise took that storyboard model to the point where it became almost a parody. There were so many "climatic battles" in those films that I never had any clue as to when the film was actually about to end. (And we seemed to go past two hours for action films on a regular basis by then as well.)

When all the super-hero films started crowding the release schedules they were so bad I stopped going to the theater altogether. :-(
Maybe this is from my epoch of education, but with early Java null checking everything was promoted as a good practice. Even today, depending on what your teacher said was correct, your coding experiences (e.g. if you came from C++, if you read 'Effective Java'), you might still null check everything.

Personally, I lean towards the "use nulls sparingly and be very explicit where null values are possible", use immutable objects etc. This reduces the unnecessary null-check noise and makes things more robust. In java, I even prefer to add @Nullable to fields to try to switch the default mindset to "assume non-null unless @Nullable annotation exists" - though another developer made a note on a code review that "that is not how Java is designed and @Nullable is just noise".

Having nullability as part of the type makes everything more explicit, so I'm a huge fan. Beyond just the perf and safety benefits, it's a win for domain modeling.
You aren't a bad dad, but if you're going around the internet telling everyone the Steam Deck is "a gaming computer" you're going to mislead less technical people into thinking it's on par with a huge RTX 3070 laptop for performance, since that's what "gaming computer" usually means
My personal view on NDAs is that they invite litigation and as a rule I avoid signing them. Not to say I stick to that 100% in all cases but it takes something exceptional before I'll even consider it.

If your product/idea/etc is so easily "stolen" by the details gleaned in a mere conversation/interview then you have a shitty product/idea/etc.

If you can't evaluate my skills relative to your needs without telling me the inner most secrets of the temple such that an NDA is necessary, you don't know how to interview.

On considering it here, Ive never been asked to sign one in an interview situation with a legitimate company. Plenty of "startups" have asked me to sign something before we could even talk and I politely declined and moved on.

Your mileage may vary but I can't see signing a perpetual anything personally.
n of 2, this has been my experience as well. I was almost killed in a shooting in 2021, and in 2022 I started seeing a therapist. Going into therapy made me relate to my trauma more, think about my trauma more often, and self identify as a "traumatized individual". I don't think any of that helped. The only thing that really helped was daily meditation/mindfulness, which does the opposite - it teaches you that the thoughts and experiences you have are fleeting and rather than hold on to them you can let them go.

That being said, I don't think this is a strong enough phenomenon that it explains the rather large trends upwards in self harm/mental health. I think a good control is the graph that shows Schizophrenia - a 67% uptick shows that the diagnosis rates are probably a lot higher than the early 2000s, since I doubt that schizophrenia is really becoming more common due to social media.
Not at all, it's exactly the opposite. People feel understood and very relieved when they are diagnosed mental illness. Accepting and managing some condition give people hope.
