(VA Linux's Larry Augustine was associated with this, probably through Azure Ventures, if I recall.)

With the advent of very-small-form-factor computers, mobile displays, bluetooth, battery packs, and solid-state storage, you'd think that such a thing might be reasonably viable, though it would all but certainly be fussy.

Neither a smartphone/PDA, nor a laptop, nor a desktop, nor a tablet. That tends to be a pretty ugly duckling.

That said, the thought of a cluster of devices which could pair / peer with larger and smaller interfaces and provide utility across a wide range of circumstances does seem to have some level of attraction. For now, laptops or ultra-notebooks are sufficiently portable to cover much of the need, and smartphones / tablets too constrained mostly by OS, power, and input limitations to provide a true desktop experience.

(This written by someone who has a large e-ink tablet with Termux installed which comes close to providing a very useful on-the-move computing platform.)

I've heard that there may be such devices forthcoming. I can only keep an eye out.
Ouch! I only have a handful of domains I've hung on to and I also went from GoDaddy to Namecheap, but I've been contemplating moving them to Google recently since I already use enough of their other services. Glad I waited?

> Can you make a step plan for some deliverable? No? Then, sorry, it's not that planning is not possible, it is that you are simply not experienced enough.

Perhaps you work in a simple domain? This would be infeasible at my current job, and that's including the best-in-the-industry people with 20 years experience.
When you're young there's often nothing to look forward to but the future, so why revisit the past?

When you're old, your health is failing, and there's no future to look forward to, you're gonna want to look back in time -- maybe remember the better days of your youth.
> Exactly! Your api contract and your storage are ALWAYS two different objects

Not really. I have request objects for everything. "Search" is a request object. List pagination is a request object.

Every function exposed through the RPC API takes a request object and returns a response object.

The response object is often just a collection of objects straight from "the database".

A response to a paginated list request will contain a list of objects straight from the database, in addition to some metadata about the pagination (names: current page number, total page count).

The cruicial part is there's no "transformation" of data as it goes out from the database into the UI. There's some aggregation and grouping (an outer object that contains multiple objects), but that's about it.

Again though there's a subtlty: some transformations do occur, but they don't occur on the path from the storage to the UI. Instead, everytime I store a complex object, I also derive a "simple" version of the object and store it too.

When you request a list of objects, you get the "simple" version, and the UI displays them in summary format. When the user clicks one of them items on the list to see more details about it, the backend sends the "full" object.

Notice the underlying principle: the UI flow dictates how the storage layer stores objects.

This is the anti-thesis to the common wisdom, where the storage layer does not care about the UI, and it's the job of the intermediate layer to transform data for the needs of the UI.

Everyone has a choice. Choose Android. If you think iPhone is the wrong choice, don't choose it.

Is Android really so terrible that you're having difficulty deciding between it and Apple's walled garden? Surely it's not THAT bad.
> Connect via USB to a PC as a mass storage device

... if you want a mass storage device... buy a mass storage device?

Personally I'm happier with the cloud though. I want all my files in the cloud anyway as an offsite backup, and the internet is generally fast enough that I can access the remote copy whenever I need it.

> Be switched on immediately when plugged in, after the battery runs out

My battery never runs out though.

But seriously iPhone CPUs are pretty power hungry with 3.46Ghz with six cores and aside from just booting up there's also some pretty high decryption going on to decrypt and verify the operating system hasn't been tampered with. I'm pretty sure a USB cable can't provide enough watts.

> Want to use a keyboard/mouse/monitor to control your phone instead of your thumbs

USB and Bluetooth keyboards totally work with iPhones, and iPads. I use a mouse and keyboard all day long every day with my iPad (I'm happy with my thumbs for my phone, but I could use the keyboard for that too).

And you can absolutely connect it to an external screen too, with HDMI or over a network connection.

I am suggesting a user protest procedure.

1. Reply to as many Reddit posts as possible with irrelevant, low quality answers that are wrong and do not make sense. It should be purposefully bad and poor training data for LLMs.

2. Begin your replies with the word “This”. It lets others know you are in on the joke, but doesn’t reveal your hand fully. If Reddit starts throttling replies that start with the word “This” it will be embarrassing for Reddit to explain.

3. Upvote every nonsense reply. Downvote real replies.

I don't think there is any reason they won't charge the same as they do their own customers, $20 a year, So a 66.6% increase on Google's price. Very annoying as moving registrars is a hassle.

It's so bizarre to see people who occupy positions of power make statements like this.

Anyone who knows the basics of energy, agriculture, or economics knows this statement is exactly the opposite of the truth.

At the current population level, fossil fuels are not incompatible with survival. They are necessary for survival. This isn't an ideological or rhetorical statement, it's just a fact that we are dependent upon fossil fuels to feed ourselves, keep warm, transport goods (and ourselves) and do work.

Climate change is a problem. So is mass starvation, freezing to death in the winter, and living in abject poverty.

My conclusion is there are 2 kinds of engineer: good ones and shit ones.

Good ones just need to be told what to do and be left to get on with it. They value autonomy, and any attempt to micromanage them with agile bullshit drastically demotivates them.

Shit ones are shit. They need a good one to help them get through their tickets, by asking what's taking so long and showing them better ways of approaching the problem. They need more handholding and don't yet find ticket-sizing a soul-sucking waste of time.

Shit ones might become good ones over time, or they might not.

The problem is that scrum masters are either former shit engineers or non- technical, so cling dearly to the belief they add some value to the process by acting like a parent (which only benefits the shit ones) or sizing things which benefits no one as it takes too long and is too inaccurate to be useful. Worse, it just demotivates good engineers.

Instead, teams need a mix of good and shit engineers, quick standups whose purpose is for the good engineers to realise shit ones need help, and very high level rough estimates at the project level of "this'll probably take us about 3 months". Then get out of their way but be there if they have a blocker.

Good engineers will tell you they need help, they don't need a frigging question every morning as if they're 5.

The difference is that no-GIL is a minority use case. Most people are using Python in single threaded workflows (numpy/scipy, machine learning, build scripts, etc etc) and who don’t care about the GIL. The GIL mostly affects webdevs.

Probably the library support will be much worse than 2-3, but if only a minority of users are impacted by libraries that don’t support it then it’s not a big issue. GIL concerned users can either carefully select their dependencies to be no-GIL supporting, or they can decide to go with the GIL.

2-3 was bad because every single library, app, and tiny script had to be migrated, if it used a string or a print statement.
This is my general opinion. My iPhone is not a productive device, even sending an email is a hassle. I'm either at home, or will wait, unless it's urgent. It's basically for social media, maps, music, and keeping in touch via messages. Occasionally phone calls. A walled garden is generally OK for that (my only gripe as in my other comment here is that they make it too hard to access media files directly).
this is a apparently communism haha
everyone works on stuff that's more complicated than it looks from the outside, and many other fields are able to estimate the amount of work it takes to do something. why cant software?

example: in 2006 china formalized plans to build a totally new high speed train system that spans the entire country by 2020, a totally new level of scale that had never been done before. and the plan worked out even a bit ahead of schedule. how did that planning happen? dont tell me that was simpler than your crud app
Google Workspace has a reseller program. They likely mean that. I believe they already do it; I know Wix does — you can register your domain and with it get a mailbox, drive etc and all of it is managed by google workspace but admin is via wix.
I appreciate they don't have a dozen stupid upsells on domains like GoDaddy. But $20 a year is a straight ripoff.
People change companies every few years. If a company has 100 engineers and half of them get new jobs after 3 years, you could now have people with 2nd-order connections at 20-50 different companies.

Repeat for several cycles and it becomes very easy to find someone who knows someone who worked with a candidate. LinkedIn makes this extremely easy.

Grifter tactics will ultimately fail. Stop pretending you care about people with Asthma. You only care about your “green” politically motivated agenda. Stop hijacking climate for political control. Stop pretending you’re doing it because you care about others. You and what you argue for is pure selfish and dictatorial.
I said "apply their expertise" to other fields, not "apply their intelligence". There's a big difference between incorrectly attempting to apply specific knowledge of one domain to another, and using your general intelligence to become proficient in a field.

Do you have an example of that?

Abandoning something a quarter later? Presumably you had something specific in mind. And where did that 200 billion go when it was abandoned?
Burn computer science. Like unironically it's so grown into an awful patchwork of dogmas. It sells itself as a software engineers degree, but if it's not really then it's effectively an incidental scam.

Lol what. Are you implying your iphone is safer than my Android that allows me to sideload but only if I opt-in and even then on a per-app basis?

Iphone users really like showing they know nothing about Android, or the state of privacy and security on modern Android. Some of these replies are wildly ignorant. Straight up made-up stuff to self-justify not being able to run an emulator on your phone. Good stuff.

Here, imagine I handed you my locked Pixel 6a, or it unlocked with side-loading disabled. What exactly is the "lack of walled garden" going to allow you to do to it? Be specific.
the map becomes the territory here. if you have enough information to accurately estimate a project then you've already done the bulk of the work, and all you have left to do is type. The reason estimates are hard is because the work surprises you. You find out there are problems you didn't expect that must be solved to meet the stated goals. This happens all the time, it always happens on anything non trivial, which is why you have to add time to estimates beyond your initial assumptions. What experience teaches you is that this is going to happen, and it even gives you an inkling of the sorts of ways it might happen, and even better it makes it easier for you to resolve these issues when they do happen because they tend to be similar to other problems you've encountered before, but what it can't tell you is which problems you'll run into, becuase you won't run into them, until you do.
> Doing all those things at once, it's usually cheaper to knock down and start from scratch.

This has never been my experience. I've done a lot of this kind of work, in several different cities (all US though).

A full rip & replace of plumbing, electrical, and roofing should cost about 20%, and require about 10% of the time, compared to building new.

Plumbing should last 50 years (rough plumbing -- fixtures are decorative and usually change with taste before failure). Electrical should last longer, but systems older than 1970s probably need updating. Roof should last 25-30 years depending on style/material.

In this vein, my manager doesn’t appreciate when they ask for an estimate and I say “If I knew how to accurately estimate software projects I would be making millions as a consultant. But I don’t so I’m here”

> I rather think that the people who you spoke with used a simpler structure of sentences than is common in educated circles because you would otherwise have difficulties understanding them.

I think this is probably true. I mean, it's natural to have a more waxing structure and decorative diction when attempting to express oneself poetically.

I guess it just feels like the ceiling of "acceptably waxing" in German poetic discourse is stratospheric in comparison.

I think the lengthy prepositions on their own would be more tolerable – but when you toss in various obscure inflections on adjectives and nouns, the split verbs, overloaded words like `sie`, it feels like a system that was designed to confound! Or, conversely, to signal intelligence.

It reminds me of the idea that the rules of proper dining etiquette were invented arbitrarily at the court of Louis XIV, mainly as an improvised mechanism for dunking on the aristocrats they didn't like. :)

I imagine it must make for wonderful poetry and literature, though. I'm imagining some young up-and-comer confidently promising "he'll take care of the patrician's daughter while in the palace". But he accidentally uses the wrong "the" for "palace" because it's a word he's not accustomed to using or hearing, forming an ironic double-entendre that he doesn't understand, that makes him look foolish to the patrician and foreshadows some misbehavior to the reader.

On the one hand, it's beautiful that the inflection of one word, can totally invert the meaning of a sentence. But on the other hand you have to be so knowledgeable about the minutiae of the language itself to even catch it when it happens! And in the end, it could have been a typo of the author. Argh :D German.

Its funny, this person writes a poorly proofread article (while actually expecting people to pay for it) and then puts nuggets with completely unsubstantiated judgement but still wants to weasel out some image of being logical and objective about it. The Berkeley professors are “clearly leftist and should be ignored”, except for the one cherry picked nugget that supports your argument for the day? What’s the point of that statement? Who’s the political whack job, the person making a point with data or the person trying their level best to disregard the data because it’s from a leftist?

What’s with arguments like this becoming popular anyway? Should we be worried about it?
I came here to say this. An airlock is exactly what they need. Although not necessarily literally an airlock in a sense that it needn't be airtight, but just that you can't open both doors simultaneously.
I urge you to read it again with the newfound knowledge that, now three times without any attempt at course adjustment, you've so far been misconstruing it.

The trend that I hate the most is blogs without comments. I don’t know when it started, but a few years ago I suddenly noticed most blogs started to turn off their comments section one by one. I don’t know why they’d do that. Interacting with the author or other people was half the fun. Now there’s just silence. It’s what made me stop visiting blogs altogether. I used to browse a bunch of the same blogs everyday and now I don’t. I don’t even remember most of them.

Even when googling, I usually just stick to the sites that allow interaction like reddit, stack over flow or this site.

A few weeks ago I remembered the names of a couple of blogs I used to browse and it’s sad to see them become spam and/or low-content farms.
Registering new gTLDs was never exclusive to domains.google.com (and I think such is disallowed by ICANN), so it sounds like registry is untouched.

Cities are down or flat - and flat is down since the population in general is still growing. Also not all cities are the same - no way would I classify Phoenix anywhere the same as LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, etc. - totally different structure.

Dense cities suck and people continue to vote with their feet.
These comments are freaking unreal, and ignoring the ignorance of modern Android, vastly overstate the privacy protection afforded by iOS. Bravo to Apple marketing.

but sf is the opposite of hard-line policing. its also one of the most diverse cities in the land, with maybe only Bayview as the only major enclave. still the downtown looks like a warzone and is abandoned by businesses.
Funny fact. When I was a relatively new programmer, we used to be told we had to become better at estimating, like architects are on construction projects.

Then it became common knowledge that architects are as bad as we are at estimating costs. And people no longer use that comparison.

The fields that are actually able to estimate work well tend to have one big advantage. They are estimating how to do standardized tasks that are similar to ones that they have done many times before. Ones that don't have that advantage, are as bad as we are.
Why do software people think they're special? Like it's somehow expected that we can predict everything because we're computer geniuses? We would have accurate estimates if only we "scienced" better?

If you want to get very good at estimation, do it for a very long time. Then you will see how your estimates would be very accurate if all the other things in the world didn't happen. Just let go of the idea that you will ever have control over this aspect of life.
I strongly dislike the annoying banner ad to Amazon up top. Instantly made me close your site without even checking.
Do you have a source for this? I'm really curious on this for .dev domains, and how it will affect the nicer pricing Google Domains offered against all other registrars for their own internal registry domains

I agree, and I find it frustrating that people assume that the only way you can make an argument in favour of Apple's walled garden is ignorance. No. I'm a software programmer by trade. I use Linux extensively. I automate my home with Home Assistant and micro-controllers running Arduino and ESPHome. I'm not an idiot who doesn't understand the "but you can just choose to stay in the walled garden" argument. I understand the argument. I think it's naive, overly simplistic and fundamentally wrong.

I like my iPhone the way it is.

If you don't like it, don't choose it. Surely Android isn't so terrible that you're having difficulty deciding between it and Apple's walled garden? Surely it's not THAT bad.

Low cost has never been the priority. If you don't value their service at $20/yr they have no problem with you going elsewhere.
Breaking up monopolies creates more jobs too.
Well it's also simply false, scientists have historically been careful to provide multiple projections of future outcomes based on optimistic, pessimistic, and in-between estimates.
The article does blame the management though, with respect to its concern over cancelled products.

> some talented executive wanted to do them, and other Googlers joined him or her.

I think you're right in there are issues in the article. I think the article is generally just trying to clarify a more abstract point: current high tech top-down corporate culture favors appearances more than the fundamentals of what makes good things good.
