Kind of, but GDP per capita is way lower. It would take 35 average Nigerian users to replace one average American. Which still isn't exactly true, since there are high-margin items that are impossible to cross-sell that way. E.g. a $1k iPhone is affordable by a $70k american but not by any single $2k income Nigerian.

Sheer quantity of users doesn't replace higher GDP cohorts.
Some people do indeed want this as far as I know. I believe it is what the Linux kernel wants for example. I'm not aware of any other projects that want the same thing.
I think "ops" is ultimately like any other role: a specialism for which it makes sense to hire specialists (at least in larger organisations - people in smaller companies may have to wear many hats). And like any other specialist roles: close collaboration across specialisms is key.

Application developers ought to have a decent working knowledge of ops such that they can work productively with the ops specialists and vice-versa. Just as application developers ought to have a decent working knowledge of product and UX design in order to work productively with specialists in those areas.

Reusing a dead index is bad, but not as bad as full memory unsafety. It can cause application errors for sure but the integrity of the runtime is preserved.

Segregated, typed, heaps (never reuse the memory for a different type after a free) could allow similar safety.

I don't know what was going on in the USA, but in the Europe people were using pre-ios/droid smartphones massively (and we basically didn't have any Blackberries due to region limitations). There were a ton of the WinMob PDAs, there were years of advanced HTC communicators which started expensive but dropped to a very cheap levels fast. At some point almost every taxi driver had been using one (it was easy to observe because drivers were using phones for nav in the cradles). The demand was super high. People were comparing generations of those early smartphones for example about GPS lock speed, because it was an age when receivers were rapidly improving and every gen shaved of minutes of lock time. And before WinMob era there were advanced Simbian 60 (iirc) devices, middle and high-end Nokia, Siemens, Motorola phones, with apps. Half of my class in school and uni were using phones with all support for texting, reading books, music and games.

Retconning phone history as if there was nothing between flip phones and first iPhone, or that transition time was short is dishonest.

Have you ever unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rooted ROM on Android, which is what the original author requires?

I have. For most vendors, it involves putzing around with adb commands in a terminal and copying image files around. GrapheneOS is the most user-friendly, thanks to a WebUSB installer that holds your hand - but it still involves hitting key combinations in the recovery screen and other scary stuff.

Even for that best-case scenario, unlocking your phone always involves a factory reset, which wipes all your apps and data.

The idea that Epic and Meta will quit the official store and ask their users to go through that process is hilarious.
It's really funny how many subreddits have posts telling people to join Discord. I mean, Discord, really? Where are the Discord third party clients that consume tiny amount of data and have low latency? At least with reddit we still have the old interface.

One thing metformin does is occasionally encourage cells to burn excess energy rather than store it. This may lead to extra cellular repair processes. I heard cancer rates were lower in metformin users and could extend life. Had my doc prescribe it to me 5 or so years ago.

I take it daily. There were mild GI side effects and weight loss at first, but my body adjusted and now it is BAU.

Haven't changed my lifestyle, can't know if it has made me more healthful. I still get colds and flu maybe once every other year.

Had a vaccine injury scare after the second jab. My health has been down since, can't know if Metformin is helping or hurting that situation - hopefully in the background helping me heal.
It’s kind of silly, to be honest. They basically had free video and image hosting, and Reddit decided to say screw that, lets increase our server fees dramatically. I still don’t really understand what motivated that decision. Did they really gain so much by self-hosting content?

Thank you for this information, I was planning to move my domains.google domains to Cloudflare, but now I think I won't do that. I'll still use Cloudflare, but the inability to use my own NS is a dealbreaker for using Cloudflare as a registrar in my opinion.
You are not wrong, but the phone manufacturer could search for chips respecting the users if they really wanted. My GNU/Linux smartphones (Librem 5 and Pinephone) will work just like my laptop, with indefinite software updates.
Have you ever worked in a factory? Because I can imagine that factory management could also lose touch and make decisions that would leave the people on the "factory floor", who have better knowledge about what the machines can and can't do, bewildered. There are however several things that make this less likely: first, some companies have a policy of management having to actually work on a production line (or as a worker in a restaurant, etc.) from time to time so that they know the basics of what's going on there; second, the technology of a factory is maybe easier to grasp and doesn't change that fast as in IT. But still, if you want an example, I bet many of the problems Boeing is having is because their management is (or was until recently) located in Chicago, while their factories are in Seattle and South Carolina.
The Model 3 & 4 were evolutions from the Model 1. The Model 2 was targeted at a higher end business market and about the only thing it had in common with the 1, 3 & 4 was the use of a Z80 processor. The upgrade path from the Model 2 would have been the Model 12, 16, 16B & 6000. The Model 16 added a 68000 processor and software could run on either the Z80 or the 68000. Tandy offered their own TRSDOS or Xenix for the Model 16. CP/M was available from 3rd parties. For a while in the early 80s the Model 16B running Xenix was the best selling unix system.

I'm truly excited about Resend and the innovative approach it brings to email sending. Zeno, your vision for a developer-first email platform is refreshing and much needed in the market.

I believe Resend has immense potential to disrupt the email sending space and become the go-to platform for developers and businesses alike.

Love the fantastic design! Congrats on the launch.
view seems to be more pervasive in Europe than in the US

Which is quite weird, since at every Not Software engineering company I've interacted with in Europe (mostly the nordic and germanic countries to be fair), the majority of the top management are experienced senior engineers who have worked their way up from 'the floor' as it where.
"You yourself imply there are different degrees to how acceptable the two terms are."

I never claimed either were acceptable or unacceptable.

Interesting how you completely gloss over your needless language policing, especially when you - by your own admission -- haven't even used the terms in question (and presumably lack the nuance necessary to weigh in, despite jumping in anyway) shrug
You're still using `array[index]` syntax though. That comes with a panicking branch. The optimizer might elide it, but it might just as well do that in the original code.

I do not believe you've rebutted the main point here. At best what you've done is a show a better way of guaranteeing that indices are correct. But you still need to deal with the fact that index notation comes with a panicking branch.
I think 'friendly' is the wrong way to look at it.

I'd characterize it as "text-dense" vs "spacy and image/video oriented".

The second is more immediate, it takes less concentration, so it attracts more people and more information that's not very meaningful.

By keeping things text-only, you keep the information more meaningful.

I want an A/B test framework that automatically optimizes the size of the groups to maximize revenue.

At first, it would pick say a 50/50 split. Then as data rolls in that shows group A is more likely to convert, shift more users over to group A. Keep a few users on B to keep gathering data. Eventually, when enough data has come in, it might turn out that flow A doesn't work at all for users in France - so the ideal would be for most users in France to end up in group B, whereas the rest of the world is in group A.

I want the framework to do all this behind the scenes - and preferably with statistical rigorousness. And then to tell me which groups have diminished to near zero (allowing me to remove the associated code).
It's not weird in this case, because the drug specifically affects male sperm, and it's the man who impregnates the woman.
You have to understand that the whole issue surrounding misgendering is hard to grasp when you live in a language where everything has a random gender. It’s hard to find it important when you use the feminine for a table and the masculine for a desk. The whole thing doesn’t really carry weight. Amusingly I think people make it such a big deal in English because it actually matters so little.
AI or Die: Ushering in a New Era of User Research
It is true. People hire astoundingly incompetent devops all the time. I’ve seen it throughout my career. An issue is most hiring managers and CTO’s also don’t have a devops background, so it’s trivially easy for people to get into situations where they can BS some buzzwords and googled regurgitated definitions like CI/CD and it’s like “welp you know what you’re talking about.”

It’s highly compensated because it’s very needed. A low low % of operations engineers are as good as they need to be. It’s not even always the organization’s or the engineers’ fault, either, as the author of this blog alludes to.

> people are unaware and don't know it's their duty to properly dispose of items. I believe it's the consumerist culture

> companies producing electronics and appliances should somehow participate in disposal

The curent approach is fraudulent offloading of responsibility.

The only solution is to charge manufacturers and importers complete cost of disposal / recycling for a given item. They can be asked to provide evidence of recycleability, they can be fined for lying. Manufacturers have incentive then, to improve recycleavility - costs willvbe lower. This issue should be solved between manufacturers and government.

Three reasons why current approach will never work:

1 - A consumer cannot evaluate suitability of a given item for recycling or disposability, that information is only avaliable to the manufacturer. A consumer cannot evaluate government's ability to recycle - UK has over 100 different local authorities and each has different rules for which kind of plastic goes where.

2 - Manufacturers routinely commit fraud - and there is no way for consumer to get compensation if they were told something is recycleable but 5 years later it turns out it's not. Recyclers themselves regularly commits fraud - people are told their item was recycled but actually it gets dumped in africa. There is currently a system in UK where recyclers get paid by government for recycling plastic, they claim they recycle 2x as much plastic as exists / gets produced/ is imported into UK. A significant portion ends up illegally exported to philipines, not recycled.

3 - Individual disposal is unpoliceable - you can't police millions of idividual people. You have to move to policeable entities - manufacturers.
Cheap does not always mean lower quality. It's more expensive to repair an iPhone 14 pro than to buy a mid-range android for example.
> I was taught to write English as I speak it. [...] But don’t run on sentences if you wouldn’t speak it out loud the same way.

This is no contradiction. In particular in formal public speaks in German it is not uncommon to use complicated sentence constructions - and the audience is expected to understand it.

In other words: the difference is rather in the mentality.

- The English mentality rather seems to be to avoid complicated constructions. This might be explainable by the melting pot of the United States, where you could not rely on that everybody is very knowledgeable in English.

- The German-speaking world was historically much more culturally homogeneous. So you could rely on the fact that the conversational partner is pretty confident in the German language; so you could use sophisticated language constructions.
True only to some extent, the knowledge you need to be a competent devops is huge and i think most techies prefer dev route though i don't know the stats.
I may very well be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that was a Compaq thing. I certainly don't remember BASIC coming with any version of DOS or Windows out of the box in 1984. May be later on in the decade.

The issue lies exactly with the menial tasks. Ever used Ansible? It's hell. Not because it's hard, but because there's basicially no debugging and so much hidden state. You're lucky if you can use Terraform, but that's not the default. Depending on the stack, DevOps is mainly just trial and error, "getting shit to work", which depending on the Software used can take a while. And then being responsible for the part of infra you got working, which may necessitate unpaid overtime in case of an outage.

EDIT: One thing I forgot is, that in order to be really good at DevOps, you need to know your stack _really_ well, which imo necessitates that you spent at least some time on the development side of things. This goes against every hiring managers instinct though, as people should only specialize in one thing and do it well (at least where I live).
There are many OSS companies. I think what the OP is (correctly) complaining about is people writing OSS and then getting upset when others sell it, or sell things based on it. I see this attitude creeping into e.g. articles on The Register. If you want to licence your software so anyone can use or resell it, don't be surprised when they do.
With the direction they're going, they'll just get rid of volunteer moderators entirely and instead lean on contract moderator farms like Facebook etc. It's a more expensive option for sure but it gives them the most power and the least pushback against further revenue raising measures.

Interesting point and one that I feel applies equally to Product Manager, another catch all title that has a ton of stuff thrown in.

IMO there are 3 distinct roles that product gets thrown into, 4 really but the technical product manager is completely different.

Research/data, operations and UI/UX and then the 4th being the technical product manager.

The person that maps and sets up the metrics, KPIs, product intelligence and knowing the business model is very different from the person that knows the UX flow and can inform the UI.

The problem IMO lies in the middle management layer, maybe ai will be able crack that but for us ;)

It seems to be a problem all over many disciplines tbh
The point is that they were also installing tracking scripts on the website, which gives them data, which is their oil that they refine into profitable ad placement.
Sure, if you also let the bots buy things and sell things, then it'll be perfectly reasonable for them to also click on ads.

At that point, however, we may find out that the global economy turned into a fully automated, circular optimization process, and took off, leaving humans behind to starve and die.

One way Reddit could make money and please users is if they targeted commercial non-advertising use. Many subreddits are either customer support, product PR, or brand management factories even if they don't explicitly state so. Everything from interviews (AMA), sports, entertainment, movies, music and news to porn. A significant portion of active submissions and comments are from employees being paid. Big and small companies are spending money on people who spend time on reddit.

By identifying and charging commercial users it will clean up reddit for the normal user and increase income.
I just read up on the IHK and it sounds like the equivalent for business that an employee pays to be a member of a union. The fee is 47 EUR + 0.14% of gross income, which is not exactly "significant" compared to the other fees, taxes etc.

As for the old people running the IHK, from what I read, the membership is one-company-one-vote, so what stops people running for election?

As for the influx of refugees, that is a distinct advantage to Germany of an increased availability of workers, including many educated Syrians and others.

So it sounds like there's a problem with entrepreneurship in Germany outside the engineering / petro-chemical businesses. There's also a problem with your political choices due to the usual issues prevalent in every Western country. An aging population, the effects of the "financial industry" (a misnomer if ever there was one), the effects of climate change, etc.
