It's a statement that it's not some personal project and it is backed more or less consistently by a bunch of people.
Depends on the specific experience you're trying to create but there are fewer and fewer cases where what you want to achieve with a mobile app cannot be done with the mobile web. I can only think of one case in my career where native was actually necessary and not the vanity of the manager having an irrational disdain of the mobile web.

Or stated differently: unless it can be articulated why mobile web/PWA/hybrid cannot work for a specific technological reason, starting with PWA/hybrid is always the best approach. If it needs to be native then go with the vendor-recommended manner of development (unless you love painting yourself into a corner 95% of the way through the project -- been there, done that, don't want to go back).
> And 10,000 just sounds massive to me!

The smallest company I worked at was 7 people and the largest was 80,000. I like a certain level of professionalism (distance from personal life) in my work, so startups aren't really for me. Past 10,000 people, the entire operation is run by bean counters and nothing you do has any effect on the company's success.

> Anyways -- it's interesting, there may be companies in that range with cultures that are good TODAY, but you have to have really solid leadership that you can trust to make sure nothing perverse sneaks in TOMORROW, you know? Definitely they are out there, it's just finding them that's the hard part, perhaps

Everything is always changing year by year. You'd be surprised how much can change on a team in three months after a simple change of senior manager.
Well, the thing YouTube does (whether you call it an access control or not) does actually have a measurable "effect" on people. It makes those people seek out third-party tools when they don't perceive any other reasonable way of downloading the work. So by that logic, it's pretty effective.

Nothing is ever 100% effective -- even the best encryption is technically a compromise -- other than OTP. YouTube just happens to be on the low end of effectiveness; the third-party tools likely wouldn't exist if it were on the high end. But I guess even slight effectiveness is enough for DMCA purposes.
Why is Barbie so anticipated? It seems like this whole meme was planted by the industry.
No. The job of a constructor is to establish the class’s invariants for the new instance, or else fail with an exception. This bug in the String class fails to do so.
As an ex-Appler I'm a bit biased as well. I've used every version of Windows since 3.1 and Windows 8 was the last straw for me.

The Windows 8 UI was schizophrenic and a lot of effort was made to force you to use the newest most broken UI. I even got a touch capable laptop and could rarely use just Metro/Modern apps because they were crippled but the classic UI is just unusable with touch. I could only comfortably use Windows 8 with the third party Classic Shell and avoiding and Metro UI app.

Windows 10 walked some of those missteps back but then became incredibly infuriating with its automatic updates. I tend to leave machines running for weeks or months, sometimes asleep and other times not. Despite me telling Windows to not do updates automatically I'll come back to a machine sitting at the user login window. All my context now gone.

Or more fun Windows having updated in the background and I shut down or reboot without realizing. Depending on the updates I have to wait some unbounded length of time just to use the system again.

Windows sleep support is also still atrocious on most machines I've used. My MacBook I can put to sleep and remove the charger and leave it for a week and it'll have battery left to do work. My Windows work laptop I left asleep but unplugged and the battery was dead after a couple hours.

That's all on top of UI/UX issues I don't like because I've been using OSX for over twenty years. Mac keyboard shortcuts and trackpad gestures are second nature to me now and using Windows is jarring. Ctrl as a modifier key is unergonomic vs the Command key. Windows' trackpad gestures, especially app switching, are uncomfortable. All of the UI fades and pop-up previews are too distracting and there's rarely a safe place to park your cursor to read something. Everything wants to face in some tooltip or context toolbar under the cursor.

I'm fine if people like Windows but for me it's just frustrating to use. Unfortunately my work laptop is Windows now and I'm constantly annoyed with its UX problems.

Definitely not from starlink launches sorry.
My only concern with Expo is once you're using it, you're going to get charged per user and per update. It's $0.005 per user per update (plus additional bandwidth and storage charges). So if you have 100K users, that's $500 per update. One update per month would be $6K per year. So you have to factor in the economics of your app.

Hi. Would you mind to elaborate on which signs of ChatGPT you have detected? Not only out of curiosity: I've read that detectors are more prone to emit false-positives when analyzing text written by foreigners and, since that's my case, I'd like to learn how to avoid planting such signs into my own writings.
I learned something interesting about myself here...

I was always in the "two spaces after the period" camp, because that's how I was taught as a young sprout. So I assumed that's how I still write.

I've been writing and publishing fiction and nonfiction for decades and took a quick tour through my work. My early work does indeed have two spaces after each period.

But, at some point, I started to shift. I went through a couple of years where I was inconsistent about using two spaces or one, and after that, all of my writing uses one space exclusively.

I didn't even notice that change in my own writing. It boggled my brain a little bit.
It technically helps increase market liquidity (enabling someone to easily sell or buy new positions) and there's research that it decreases the bid-ask spread, but I don't buy it. If you believe having a small portion of society be able to easily trade stocks, then yes, but imo, I'd say it generally doesn't have any value for society in general

Time is a PITA to normalize between frontends and backends, but not an overly arduous task. I wonder what's preventing them from know what the users preferred format is.

Anecdotally, I worked for a British company that used YY/MM/DD and it regularly caused reliability issues during operations. Of course, they responded with, "What's wrong with the date? It's correct." Yes - correct, but not accessible especially operationally so. If you want to take advantage of a global userbase or workforce be prepared to have the tax of these kinds of features being necessary.
> Heck, windows PCs were regularly infected by browsing the wrong website. Or getting served a malicious advertisement. Can you honestly say that people are getting infected on Android regularly by surfing the internet?

I have used Windows for nearly 2 decades and I can't tell you the last time my system was infected. I do agree that browsers are the largest vector of attack but that also means browser vendors share some of the largest responsibility for creating secure systems.

New York? A city founded on repeated waves of immigration. The city that put "give us your tired masses" on a big statue in the harbor. New York is not a city setup for locals. It is and has always been a dynamic city for new people doing new things. Being "local" isn't the advantage it is in other areas.
Stubhub collects a fee every time a ticket changes hands. It's in their interest to buy the tickets off people and then resell them themselves, since they will collect two fees in that case. Couple that with the fact that they're in a unique position to measure demand and model future pricing, they can effectively double dip with little risk.

Further, the shell companies could be something Stubhub is doing to derisk the arbitrage portion of the transaction to isolate losses associated with inability to sell the tickets for a profit to the shell company rather than to Stubhub.

I can certainly echo the (HN) poster's comment from a few days ago:

> I am having trouble with the date formats on macOS. My passport expiry is shown in MM/DD/YYYY, even though my date locale is clearly set to DD.MM.YYYY. In 1Password 7, as far as I can tell, it used to be DD/MM/YYYY.

> I have literally had a ton of trouble because of this because I entered my passport expiry date wrong on an airline form. As both numbers in the date can be flipped and will still show a valid date, this error isn't easy to catch, either. After looking this up, it has been first reported over 1.5 years ago! That is not an acceptable timeframe!

I've already had some wrestling with incorrect date formatting in 1Password, but I recently added my family's passports and almost made the exact same mistake.

You could somewhat justify future support back when 1P 7.x was in support, but now that it's completely EOL (mobile app is unlisted), there's absolutely no reason for this. It's literally one system API call. (Which they're already using in the "modified/created" fields on iOS!)

Pretty sure the lofty mission statement is mostly marketing fluff for a run of the mill generative AI company. However, I'm not really sure if what you're saying makes that much sense. The truth is that at just 12 people, what they actually have is the perspective of 12 eight billionths of the people on earth. You can split by all kinds of attributes of people, race, gender, locality, ability, etc. and get a different answer.

I'm not trying to suggest in some roundabout way that this is good or even not bad, but it is rather arbitrary. In truth, "one person" rarely does anything, since in many senses, all of us stand on the shoulders of giants. But, even then, the accomplishments of individual people have been pretty impressive. There are singular people who have discovered the nature of a lot of things despite only having one perspective to bring on their own.

Hmm… this doesn’t comport with all that I’ve read and seen from Patagonia. I know the article you’re referring to, and my understanding is that it wasn’t completely accurate and doesn’t portray the situation as honestly as it could have. I’ve been a customer for 30 years and I feel confident in saying they walk the walk, it isn’t just PR…
> As opposed to the Linux security best practices of curl | bash?

This comparison would only be valid if almost everything you install on Windows was at least theoretically inspectable before installation, instead of, well, almost nothing. LOL, nice cope.

Anyway, here's a Bash function you can add to your dotfiles to add confirmation to that sort of "workflow":

confirm() {
tmpfile=$(mktemp)
# use tee to split stdin to stderr and the temporary file
tee "$tmpfile" >&2
echo >&2
# Prompt the user.
>&2 read -p "Do you want to pass this code along? [Y/n] " response < /dev/tty
case "$response" in
[nN]*)
echo "Operation cancelled." >&2
rm "$tmpfile"
exit 1
;;
*)
echo "Proceeding..." >&2
cat "$tmpfile"
rm "$tmpfile"
;;
esac
}

Now you can just take those one-shot install lines and stick this "confirm" function in the pipe like so:

curl <url> | confirm | bash ...

There's probably a slicker way to do this, if you're super into Bash. And you may want to `set -o pipefail` in general, so that the "exit" code of 1 actually gets seen...

> I really don't see how english is a better query language than SQL.

People have been trying to develop "natural" programming languages since the advent of programming, and I think we can say that it's pretty much never going to work. The things that make natural language desirable (such as semantic ambiguity, individualized expression, inherent adaptability, etc) are almost exactly the things that you absolutely don't want to get involved when interfacing with computers. Programming languages lack these traits, which makes them predictable and dependable in a way natural language simply isn't, which is why they're good for interfacing with computers.

Agreed, the best I have found so far is the SiFive Unmatched: https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unmatched which is a full mini-itx motherboard. It's not a SoC though.

As far as I can see, the only thing that isn't documented is the DDR startup/training code, which is a binary blob in u-boot. There are a few registers that are undocumented which need to be set to start up but I think the rest is well documented.
Poor people are harmed by the loopholes not the inherent principles, so instead of fixing the loopholes the proposal is to move a plan that inherently hurts poor people, no loop holes needed. Wow what a great plan.

In NL I would expect 95% or so of the people older than 30 to know her name. Tante Riek and other female resistance fighters are pretty much unknown in comparison and given the lack of records will likely remain so. But the Dutch resistance had quite a few women in it, for one they could get around a bit easier without the fear of being arrested and deported to work in Germany, for another they were mostly what was left with the men and the older boys already hauled off to the Opel factories and other war production.

By the end of the war the women in NL were running the country. Both my grandfathers had been in hiding for a part of the war, one of them got deported to Germany, the other made it through without being arrested and deported. Both had families with young kids, in fact my mom was born during the first years of the war and ended up severely malnourished as a result. Her slightly older brothers, just kids went to steal potatoes from the German warehouses and cargo boats in Hilversum harbor at night. Lots of harrowing stories from those days and if you had known my frail and elderly grandmothers you'd never know the kind of feats they pulled off. They hated the Germans to their death, nothing would ever change that.

To stop the children from betraying their father they were told that dad (my granddad) was in Germany, so the kids believed that the area near Loosdrecht was Germany, when they went to visit there with food. When the English attacked that area my oldest uncle was just returning from such a delivery and he fell in with the German soldiers that were moving along what is today N201. The German troops were strafed by Spitfires and to the day he died that was one of my uncles most vivid memories, to hiding in a ditch together with the German soldiers, and both equally scared.

Retrospective on Working in Web3
Personally I’ve always thought that specialization is what matters. I’ve tended to look up to people who know everything about a single topic. I still do, but in my professional life I’ve come to learn that generalists with a few but limited expertise “amplitudes” do even better.

A metaphor from what I personally like: If you can make fast websites, you’re a good software engineer. If you can make fast websites with great copy and a subsequent positive effect on SEO, you could be a company.
I know (some) French, still use ChatGPT or Google Translate a lot to get me started if I want to send a note to someone in French. I still do some hand-waving afterwards to ensure it's correct but that's about it.

I'd argue that this process applies to any GPT-type generator, it serves a starting point so you're not staring at a blank piece of paper, but it won't give you the final result.

Would love to know if and why it is hard to implement this kind of feature for 1P. Any takes?

Also there is a heated debate that the UK is doing dates "the right way" and the US is wrong. Other than that people from Europe seem to think all of their practices are better than others, what is the possible reasoning that the order of numbers in a date string could have a right and wrong solution?
Thanks for your response. However regrading your point B), I imagine you didn't fully read the description of this post. I was hoping to keep this objective and not about discussing things like therapy and people's personalities. I don't want this thread to be about those things. Strictly about any companies that happen to fit this criteria -- even if the answer is "no", then a simple "no" is sufficient.

If you provides you any comfort (if that's the right word to use here), my wording in my post was perhaps not quite right. I simply don't want to spend a week traveling, living in a hotel, doing mandatory group activity -- I'd rather spend that time with people in my life and living my life outside work hours
Of course, one thing a solid mathematical education will also give you is an appreciation that while ‘having passed AP Calculus’ implies ‘can do hard things’, that does not mean ‘having failed to take or complete AP Calculus’ implies ‘can’t do hard things’.
