What is there really? There is docker swarm, which doesn't seem to be really further developed, and... what else?

This whole space seems to be neglected since cloud providers are trying to sell k8s to big company "devops"guys but old school sysadmins don't even know what docker is. Any development in this area is very welcome.
If sex workers where allowed to control their own destiny then the exploitation would decrease. Here you have their payment system shut down, now a woman has to get her money via cash which requires protection. You also have websites that allowed sex workers to vet customers shut down because of fake child porn concerns by conservatives (ironically a big user base of sex work).
Also PornHub is operated by MindGeek ($460mn revenue in 2021). It's not some niche startup. "Why can't you do it if PornHub can do it" seems disingenious at best given their parent company's market share.
The US also has oil wealth, but it goes to shareholders instead of to the public purse. Which is funny because none of them created the oil.
How do Asian cities manage all those factors?
The Swiss =|= Credit Suisse

Also, I know of a bridge that is up for sale. A Nigerian prince told my late uncle who used to work there in the oil and gas sector. But don't tell the Americans, no need to waste such a great investment opportunity.
If you have 10 promising candidates, and you'd like to hire one of the better ones among them -- then how are you going to accomplish that, with the strategy to "actually hire them"?

If among promising looking and speaking candidates, few are actually good, then what will the current employees think about people getting hired, fired, replaced a lot
> The US has state-of-the-art healthcare... if you're rich.

> but we're not talking about people like restaurant servers

Indeed, we're talking about people who are neither restaurant servers nor multi-millionaires.

The question is, where exactly is the point where a US citizen can e.g. stop worrying about the possibility of medical bankruptcy. I think that it's substantially higher than "restaurant servers".
For my personal projects it's always Svelte now. Fits how my brain works. I used to love React, but I must be getting old now and wish to have as little complexity in my life as possible.

I guess the strongest possible result would be a tile that can cover the plane aperiodically without reflections, but which can't cover the plane periodically even with reflections.
Those companies do the exact same thing (or even worse!) as 30 years ago.

Of course nothing changed; besides the concrete wording of the PR and marketing materials.

So there is no reason to change any opinions.

Actually M$ got even more dangerous since than as they stopped to fight OSS and switched to their infamous and in this case even more concerning EEE strategy.

But sure, I know some people get blinded by their marketing efforts and don't look to close what this companies are actually doing.

Chinese IT was a wild west at its very inception. Companies with connections with the police framed competitors as early as the 90s IIRC. Android (de-Googled by law) is fraught with malware-ish apps.

When browsing DCIM via sshfs, I'd kill for using this instead of having to wait for it to read every 3MB image and generate a thumb to show me. I don't have a problem with current thumbs because the status quo of waiting 30 seconds for a page of images to get thumbed is so terrible. Probably I'd love the improvement if it would use ThumbHash server-side^W phone-side instead of small pngs or whatever it does today.
How well does that work? I (not a gamer) only recently learned of the Wii U and thought it would be great for that exact thing.
Just look at Patreon and their continued stuggle with NSFW artists. I briefly worked on a similar smaller site that allows for artists drawing explicit things, and our payment processor would threaten us weekly to cut us off for arbitrary reasons. The chargeback/fraud rate did not differ based on the user drawing explicit content or not.
In case of small companies it's not unusual to have just a "software engineer" job posting, and consider everyone from mid to principal engineer (with salary dependent on their skill level). I wonder how job postings would work in this case.
Anonymous payments are required for things to work, and will be taxed.
Literally every EU country has health insurance as a benefit. This is on top of the default healthcare provided by the country in question. Depending on the insurance, it can get you things such as private hospital rooms, dental plans, better eyecare, payment plans, or even extra income guarantees if you're unable to work.
Why do you think execs have less power remotely?
There is a big difference between actions being done in the dark versus actions being done in the open and with full endorsement and legal support.

The purpose of law is to tame commercial activities for protection of its commerce and prosperity. By legalizing something that is a net social harm, giving it guiderails so that it can lead to more stability and profit, you have incentivized that harm to reproduce maliciously. It is like offering subsidies to fossil fuels. No, it is like putting regulations on fossil fuels and giving them legitimacy.

Some industries should stay in the dark unprotected always looking over their shoulder for when they might get caught.
"When education isn't liberating, the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor" fits really well with your comment.

If unions keep innovation from happening how can Sweden be considered one of the most innovative countries on Earth? Or how can Germany be a powerhouse of engineering and building the machines that build machines?

Your take is a regurgitation of the usual talking points that the elite class use to keep workers separated. Unions aren't forcing socialism, unions are there to build up labour power against employers, who have a much higher leverage in any working agreement you can think of.

Your comment is exactly what I hear for the past 20 years of my work life. Workers are, ultimately, the ones creating value, you are defending the class that has the means to take risks due to their accumulation of capital. The rare oddity of a self-made man is the carrot that those use to push you to regurgitate their points.

Technology leapfrogged everyone because it's an immense value, it's immensely useful, not because there weren't labour protections. That's such a sideways view of everything that's a bit laughable...
Yes, I'm not too big of a fan of Google. Plus (I don't really know how it works behind the scenes) the Cloudflare approach is a simple checkmark, so there's no annoying clicking of tiles with motorcycles in it...

the main users of adult payment services are very exploitative businesses that are not owned by the performers, operate in a dirty and unregulated market and are directly responsible for a large part of human trafficking in recent years

And you know that how? Because it's the mantra some interested parties repeat?

Those very exploitative business have a ton of money and can always find ways to launder money. The only ones hurted by these bans are the actual independent sex workers, who cannot afford to find alternatives because <gasp> they are independent so they don't have the resources.

It's an exciting time. Unreal Engine is being used to great effect in things like The Mandalorian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUnxzVOs3rk

The latest developments in large language models are another area interesting to me personally as a developer. Since the beginning of the video game medium, limitations in programming game AI have left video games stuck in a corner, where they use violence as the primary means of driving immersion, simply because it's just too complicated to model human-like behavior outside the domain of simple carnival games. Some games try and brute force their way around this by explicitly picking from a set of predetermined branching paths at predetermined critical moments. But the latest AI tools, first seen in stuff like the GPT-3 powered AI Dungeon, reveal that there will soon be new methods of maintaining a coherent story in a simulated game.

We won't have to always resort to violence and fancy carnival games for much longer.

The opposite is true (think of USDC). Eventually politicians will get it.
Gas, electricity, and water all seem fairly easy and just a matter of money. (They’re all provided under pressure.) Sewer falls by gravity and so has more physical constraints on routing and access for clean outs.

No, the threat won't need to be anywhere close to real. It will be abused politically against whoever is disagreeing with the government, like it was against the truckers demoing in Canada.

The banking system is actually already weaponized case when stakes are high. In my own nominally democratic country, access to loans for the presidential campaign is already refused by national banks to the party that ranked second the last two times.

That attitude assumes that the go standard library is the global maximum for Getting Stuff Done, and because of backwards compatibility guarantees ensures that it’s difficult to innovate on.

I think having a small standard library is actually a good thing because it encourages exploration of the space of possibilities.

For example Go’s stdlib http.HandlerFunc sucks, people instead opt for leaving it behind entirely in favour of Gin or trying to work around it with bad patterns like interface smuggling.

> The development costs for Windows (as a common platform, stripped of any add-on that could be provided by other competitive players) are a footnote in the costs of the global software market for Windows. There is indeed a complex problem to be solved of how to organize an open platform so that the development costs are paid, but it's not fundamentally a question of resources. Multiple companies and open source teams have achieved roughly similar feats with many orders of magnitude less resources than what MS rent-extracted from the Windows OS consumers.

I was talking about Windows Phone, a mobile operating system. To have an open platform, you have to have one big company paying and managing its development. Otherwise you end up with fragmentation, lack of ABI stability, backwards incompatibilities and "distros" like with Linux on the desktop, and that is not exactly a consumer success.

If you want an open platform, you have Android. But apart Huawei (which was forced by US government) and maybe some few small manufacturers from China, I don't see much competition in the space.

Contrast this with a parallel world in which we have Android, iOS, Windows Phone, WebOS, Bada, Tizen, Maemo, BlackBerry etc.
Indeed. It’d need to be extended to cover the various other subsystems and probably offer a less idiosyncratic look and feel.

Not that I dislike the NeXT visuals - I’d totally have a NeXT as my daily driver (with X, of course), but it became dated the moment Windows 95 copied it.

In any case, anything that can be documented can be implemented in a clean room.

I've seen what no solidarity and no unions did to the US job market and work conditions.

It's not at all universal. It's just much harder for media to be consistent about than individuals, because unless a media outlet has very strict editorial policies, it is comprised of many people with many beliefs and will end up being inconsistent by default. Especially an outlet like Vice, which is entertainment-focused and doesn't make much of an effort to distinguish opinion pieces from reporting. If a "news" site doesn't have a separate tab that says "opinion", you're gonna get opinion all over everything.

The article says that there are similarities between the two industries, I see these similarities too between how the workforces are treated. Whereby Hollywood VFX workers are overworked and underpaid, and some even end up going under, and the Academy is always there to stomp out their protest during the few minutes they get at the Oscars [1]. Much like with game development, where waves of contractors are hired, then subsequently fired [2], or being just subjected to endless crunch [3]. I think it's fair to say that game dev companies are the sweatshops of the tech industry, and I feel for anyone who wants to break into what otherwise could be a creative industry.

I live and work in Sweden, even though worker solidarity here is almost at an all-time low it's still quite ingrained in society, it's one of the engines of making this society more trustworthy, less unequal and all the benefits that stems from that.

> All Germany's solidarity isn't getting their salaries up to US wages; the money isn't there.

Because USA's wages are the massive oddball here, not the standard. And to be honest, shouldn't be replicated anywhere else, having such a vast part of your population living how the bottom 50% of the USA lives is not really a goal for most developed countries, it doesn't create a healthy society (as you can see yourself by living in the USA).

Comparing purely on a wage basis is a reduction of what societies actually are. Great, you earn a lot more in the USA but now has to deal with all the stresses of living in the USA. Is that really what the average person in an advanced economy should be under? If you believe so, the USA is for you, I don't believe in it.

> The EU can't do tech.

The EU has a large language and cultural barrier that is nonexistent in the USA, it's not only a purely economical output.

ASML is in the EU, are you going to say they can't do tech? Tech couldn't exist without ASML...

On the point of tiny "homogeneous" Nordics:

Each US state is also pretty tiny with a few exceptions, isn't that the model of the USA? Why can't each tiny state also have their provisions for labour protection? Because it's not part of the culture.

Point is, it's usually noticeably more responsive for realistic use-cases (and has colored output, parses .gitignore files, etc).

Tech industry is at peak of easy money and rise of incompetence
the tech industry has experienced a significant influx of capital and growth following the COVID-19 pandemic, but this has also led to an increase in incompetence within the sector. This can be understood from a few different angles:

Digital acceleration: The COVID-19 pandemic forced many businesses and individuals to adapt to remote work and digital services. This accelerated the need for digital solutions, pushing the tech industry to new heights as companies sought to meet these demands. As a result, there has been a surge in investment in the tech sector, leading to the perception of "easy money."

Low interest rates and government stimulus: Governments around the world responded to the pandemic by injecting vast amounts of stimulus into the economy and maintaining low interest rates to encourage investment. This has led to an abundance of capital flowing into the tech sector, causing valuations to soar and some investors to fear a potential bubble.

Rise of incompetence: With the rapid influx of capital and the demand for new tech solutions, there has been a surge in the number of tech startups and companies entering the market. This rapid growth has led to a perceived rise in incompetence, as inexperienced founders and teams may be entering the market without the necessary skills or knowledge to develop truly effective solutions. This can also be exacerbated by a lack of due diligence by investors who are eager to invest in the growing tech sector.

Skills gap and talent shortage: As the tech sector expands, there is a growing demand for skilled professionals. However, the rapid pace of technological change and the increased competition for top talent has created a skills gap, making it difficult for companies to find and retain qualified employees. This can contribute to the rise of incompetence within the industry, as companies struggle to maintain a high level of expertise.

Market saturation and competition: With the surge of new companies entering the tech sector, competition has become more intense. This can lead to a focus on short-term gains and a race to market, sometimes at the expense of product quality or innovation. This may also contribute to the perception of incompetence within the industry, as companies may not have the time or resources to fully develop their products or services.

In conclusion, the post-COVID tech boom has led to significant growth and investment in the sector. However, this rapid growth has also been accompanied by concerns of incompetence and a potential lack of sustainable innovation, driven by factors such as the digital acceleration, an influx of capital, talent shortages, and increased competition.
I think we've reached the point where React is ready to be challenged by a new competitor. Unfortunately I haven't seen one yet.
I think the problem was in the gateway to USD. If they only accepted crypto, and paid it out to the sex workers, then it would work. But in the real world your average John has a credit card, not crypto, and your average sex workers can't pay their rent or buy groceries using crypto. The problem was, and always is, the gateways to fiat. And I don't see a solution to that.
