Long Term Future Quiz
This...does not match history.

There was never a golden era like you describe (it was a time of conflicting philosophies, people saying "eh, let's add this, that would be sweet", and browser vendors competing to add as much as possible to out "innovate" each other and the limited specs), semantic HTML helps in some cases but is never going to give you automatic accessibility, and a one size fits all browser style is still not going to give you what you need even as you add increasingly unsemantic tags to try to improve it (which is exactly what was happening pre-CSS).

During the worst recession of the US at one point I was changing shit retail jobs at like 1 a week trivially for the hell of it. To do it now you practically only need a pulse. You don't need to lose income to change jobs, you just don't show up to one and show up to the next. Starbucks would be crushed if they had to close all their stores but the laborer can close up all their labor to a company and change jobs much easier than closing all the stores.

> if they don't put a fashionable JavaScript framework into job description, they will not be able to hire front-end programmers.

This is exactly why we are vague with tech stack in our job reqs. Why would you want talent that is laser-focused on specific keywords? What is the average lifetime of a JS/CSS framework? The game isn't to come in knowing this crap. It's to grasp fundamentals such that you can quickly learn the next ones.

I much prefer to hire less "skilled" employees who are more interested in the problem domain or product than they are any specific tooling. Goal-oriented developers can be taught to do anything in my experience.

Anecdotal, but I've noticed that the seniors in my life are often just as addicted - if not more so - than the 'youths'. Seniors not only have just as much free time as teenagers, but also nobody to tell them no / stop it!

Here is what Vite has to say about it. [0]

Take a look at a few optimization it's able to do that the Deno guys will never even be able to dream of (otherwise they will reinvent Node.JS lol) [1]. The worst part is that the guy who created Deno is the same person that made Node.JS, if you don't like NodeJS I'm not sure why someone would be betting all in another of his projects, specially considering second-system syndrome is real and painful [2]. Deno is already suffering from feature creep, just recently starting to support package.json, which I find hilarious. Soon they will reinvent CPAN [3] and believe they just hit into something extremely innovative.

Does reading about CPAN remind you of something? Something that could be the same for JavaScript? Like a package manager for NodeJS?

Well, no, it’s not this argument because as you rightfully pointed everyone did switch to the metric system while absolutely no one switched to decimal time. I’m French by the way.

People do divide hours in twelfth, sixth and third all the time. Thinking in blocks of 5 and 10 minutes is very common.
Over the course of a month or two the time taken to compile a single .ts file in our codebase climbed from 'too small to measure' up to '7 seconds'. It eventually turned out that a single type definition in the file was causing all typechecks to become incredibly slow. Getting timing data out of build tools like rollup was brutal, and editors with tsc integration like vs code/sublime text would just lag and misbehave. This regression had occurred without anyone noticing, because we all just assumed it was normal for 'build and bundle our typescript' to take a long amount of time despite how simple our code was.
> All capitalist companies (and by that I mean, any company that is enjoying success in a capitalist society) have an often unstated goal of monopolising their market.

That's ridiculous. There's plenty of companies that want to do what they do well and make a good profit, but have no interest in being the only player in their market.
No state either? Would they know which state to route that to? I think yours is the largest but apparently there are a bunch of cities in the US with that name.

Indeed. Astronomy has two major journals: The Astrophysical Journal and MNRAS. Up until now they complemented each other in their business model. MNRAS had no publication fees, but supported itself with a higher subscription cost. ApJ has publication fees and a lower subscription cost. Papers would require a subscription to read for a longer time on MNRAS than ApJ.

I always felt this system was nice because it allowed younger or independent researchers who perhaps didn't have grant money to publish in a top tier journal. But if one did have grant money one could afford to publish in ApJ and see the paper released earlier.

But it looks like this system is coming to an end.

I agree. If we ever see it, I doubt it will be in my lifetime.

Being far away in the future or impossible shouldn’t stop us from thinking about it. That’s what science fiction is. Imagining what might be can help us understand the present, and talking about it opens the possibility of listening to other opinions and refine our own.
Starbucks and Amazon are hardly "progressive". Most folks I know would describe them as pretty much bog standard big capitalist companies. Sure, they slap a rainbow logo on their twitter during June, but so does Raytheon.

I'm less sure about Apple, which might actually have more of a progressive streak in it (I'm simply not knowledgable), but the other two are pretty much standard exploitative mega corps.
Google probably should have caught this one, especially if it's an older scam on a pretty big company like Hulu.

That said, I don't know if it's reasonable to think there's some process that will catch 100% of the billions of spam emails out there without also blocking an unacceptable number of legitimate emails.
Siding with Netflix, though it's somewhat weird that they call this a tax when it is a fee. States tax. Corporations extract fees. Taxes are for public welfare and balancing out the amount of money in the economy. Fees are for generating profits. That's a major difference.

"Company" = Salesforce, which is a name I'm sure people over here recognize, so we can swap it out in the title.

There's also little value in pushing this clickbait style journalism to the front page.

First of all, it is objectively incorrect:

> Per the WSJ, the company will be letting go of 8,000 members from its massive workforce

The layoffs they are referring to happened in early January. They are not laying off another 8000 employees.

Beyond that, they paid an A-list actor $10M out of their marketing budget not to "sit around" but to do a set of commercials (one of which aired at the Superbowl). Considering they exceeded all analyst expectations for revenue and profits in the last quarter, it's safe to say that some of their effort is working. Enlightened engineers don't like to admit it, but advertising works, and is a critical part of running any business.

The fact that they also decided that 8K out of the 25K+ employees hired during the pandemic were redundant has nothing to do with Matthew McConaughey.

Please answer this question.
I would like to know your opinion
It's not possible to predict if this is a good call or not. At the end of the day, it will come out in the wash, and you can make a pretty penny betting correctly.

I'm going to assume no one here thinks this decision is so foolish that it will single handedly bring about the fall of Salesforce.

As soon as you stray into the land of "we should make this decision on Salesforce's behalf", you're straying into a "known-unknown", and acting as if it's obvious what the correct decision is is always the downfall of those who seek to plan society according to their morality.

If you said "I accept that I don't know if this was a good move for generating profit or not, but I still don't think it should be allowed", I might be more inclined to entertain the idea!

I cannot find information on Wikipedia about Denning's PhD being stripped away from her. She's listed at Purdue as having one. Where can I read about this alleged stripping of her PhD?
I agree, but I've experienced quite often people refusing to care about context. Often some variant of "I don't know about that, I only do X".

If it was easy to create Helium-3 via fusion we wouldn't need it in the first place. The whole idea is that He-3 fusion might be easier to harness because it produces fewer neutrons.

Netflix already invests a huge amount into backbone infrastructure. Asking them to pay for the infrastructure which users are purportedly already paying for is plain old double-dipping.

Consider a gravel road that connects your cabin to the main city road. The HOA might charge periodic maintenance fees to keep that road operable, depending on how many miles get driven on it, essentially charging you for usage.

If you then order delivery from a restaurant, then yes, it's very unreasonable for the restaurant to pay for that road's upkeep: they only need to travel that road because you ordered the food.

The restaurant should still pay taxes which go towards maintaining the city roads, but your privately operated HOA doesn't get to toll them to get to your house.
There's a song in Spanish called "Mi Agüita Amarilla" by "Los Toreros Muertos"[1] who basically tells the story of a guy who drank 40 beers and then proceeds to describe how his pee is transformed into water again to be drank by cows, people and the fish that you eat, to then ascend to the atmosphere to rain down on schools and your house.

This song haunted me back when I was a kid and learned about the water cycle.

I haven't looked at the research yet, but this feels like it may have some correlation with a psychological trait called dogmatism, which is a defined as exhibiting great certainty about the correctness of one's views and an unwillingness to consider new evidence, or an unwillingness to adjust one's views in light of new evidence.

Obviously, they're not the same. NFC pertains more to the desire to go through the process of cognition, whereas dogmatism pertains more to defects of cognition (e.g. giving too much weight to our priors, being unwilling to update our priors).

But in the cases of both low NFC and high dogmatism, it feels like there's a type of intellectual laziness or cognitive immaturity at play. Almost like "It's too overwhelming for me to actually think this through, so I'm choosing to just not."

Similarly, both point to a lack of curiosity about the world or anything other that what we already know. (And, I would wager, both probably have a link to anti-intellectualism and authoritarianism, where we assume that whoever is in charge knows what they're doing better than the rest of us do.)
Because the need for a tool that bridges the impedance mismatch only hides the impedance mismatch even more, it allows developers to be even more remote from end users than before. It doesn't even start to question why we have an impedance mismatch in the first place. It keeps engineers in their position of those-who-know, and end-users in their position of those-who-need, preventing appropriation of technology.

As software engineers we ought to question if we're going in the right direction, and "more complexity" is not something I agree is better
He's saying the infrastructure costs should be priced in already. Netflix pays their portion of costs to send data. I pay my portion of costs to my ISP to receive data. If ISPs are unable to maintain the infrastructure I'm paying for, then they're not pricing their services appropriately.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_swimming_pool_rape

> On 2 December 2015, at the Theresienbad swimming pool in the Austrian capital Vienna, a 10-year-old boy was raped.

> The perpetrator, ..., claimed that he was motivated by not having sex for four months

> In October 2016, the Austrian Supreme Court overturned the man's conviction of rape, ordering a retrial, while upholding his second charge of aggravated sexual assault of a minor. The rationale was that the prosecution had not provided evidence that the man did not know that his victim did not consent

> In May 2017, judge Thomas Philipp reduced the sentence to four years in a final decision by the Supreme Court, saying that the rape was a "one-off incident" and "you cannot lose your sense of proportion here"

It's not a penalty, it's just a cost of using the network.

If you use the credit card network not just once but twice -- once to process a purchase and then yet again to refund it -- you're using that infrastructure.

It makes sense you'd pay for its usage. If you drive to work on a toll road and then drive back home along the same toll road, you still have to pay the tolls even though you wound up in the same place at the end.
Thinking in blocks of 5 and 10 units is very common in metric systems too. The fact that 10 minutes is 1/6th of an hour is not very relevant; that it's a good size unit for pragmatic use is.

The way appositives work is that they qualify the preceding subject. Here you have two appositives so you can read "where applicable" as qualifying "including end-to-end encryption" or "the level of security." If "where applicable" is qualifying "the level of security" the staement reads "the level of security, where applicable, that the gatekeeper provides to its own end users shall be preserved accross the interoperable services." (And this seems to me the most accurate meaning. In any case it can be read that way.) Even if it is qualifying "the level of security" it is still in the end only "where applicable" which can still be read to mean the same thing. In fact, reading "where applicable" to mean "where already existing" as you implied, is redundant because it is already given in "shall be preserved" and "the level of security." Now we can read "where applicable" to imply that e2ee does not apply when the EU says it shouldn't.

ISPs already offer limited data packages. You don't have to buy flat rate. You can pay for x GB. So why does anyone need to pay again for the same data transfer the end user already paid for?

So, a law in France prevents POS (point of sale) software from allowing users to modify or delete transactions and other data. To make sure they don't, software needs to be certified.

For three years (2016–2019), open-source software couldn't be certified, but since 2019, they consider any 'major modifications' of the software by any user, including the end-user, a reason to certify that forked software. So you can use and modify open-source software for your POS, with that condition if you want to use it for professional reasons. (though I have no idea how it's enforced)
