Tools absolutely matter.

Behavior is enabled by what the tool enables. The tyranny of the default means that an organization not prepared to rigidly apply certain best practices will live and die based on those defaults.

This may not be universally bad, but for some environments, it’s quite bad.

Twist looks like it focuses on many of the Slack issues that bite bigger teams. It’s one thing for me to better manage my use of slack, create focused topic channels, snooze notifications, etc. But none of this matters when there are 100 other teams all using the product haphazardly.

Better defaults won’t magically fix this, but there is a lot of value in defaults that encourage better habits.

The focus on async communication also seems interesting. My biggest issue with Slack was that people expect immediate answers, and that it’s easy to lose track of things if you don’t stay on top of the pings as they come in.

Again, this expectation doesn’t magically disappear with a new tool, but a new tool that focuses on this, and the introduction of which can be used as a catalyst for encouraging behavior change seems valuable.

Better tools won’t solve the whole problem, but I’m glad they’re putting these ideas out into the market. If nothing else, I hope it leads to more interest in deep work, true async communications, and awareness of the toxic and attention-destroying nature of many Slack instances.

posting minimum salary is requirement and I guess the HR in those companies is so brain-dead the most they can do is comply and paste a few sentences.

a high salary in job posting can attract the wrong crowd, so it's also not very advisable to do and I understand companies who got burned by this and dont do it anymore.

We often have developers complaining about certain restrictions on iOS but never ask if users care? For me a key reason I choose iOS is because of the restrictions given to developers.

Just to be clear I also find myself annoyed at some of the restrictions, like I find it particularly annoying that given all of their talk about the iPad (and Vision Pro) being a computer I will likely never be able to do my job on one since I can't run my own code there.

BUT I don't push too hard for it since I recognize that adding the ability for that opens up other issues that would affect me when just being a normal user.

It might make sense if you work at a company, but it's also used very inappropriately, I think, in the context of scientific research. The problem we have is that we collaborate between company units on Slack and so all of us have dozens to hundreds of Slack instances with separate logins. I don't know how people tolerate it.

Discord has a much better approach. It seems that slack may not be able to match it for historical, bureaucratic, and technical reasons.

I've moved anything I can to matrix and encourage everyone to do the same. A collaboration only necessitates invites to a channel. It matches the way we work and it's more flexible.
What about the title implies only laymen were involved? I had no idea going into it who would be doing what.

I have already made the mistake you are about to make.
I imagine it would be the same situation. I am not sure what the purpose of this presentation was anyway, Costco was never in any danger from Amazon. They are in two completely different markets.

The cost of energy and labor to deliver big, heavy goods to an individual's house is obviously more than the cost for individuals to go to a giant store and get it themselves.

If Amazon had opened a store like Costco selling bulk goods, then it might have made sense.
Thank you for mentioning Data Diff! Founder of Datafold here.
We built Data Diff to solve a variety of problems that we encountered as data engineers: (A) Testing SQL code changes by diffing the output of production/dev versions of SQL query. (B) Validating that data is consistent when replicating data between databases.

Data Diff has two algorithms implemented for diffing in the same database and across databases.
The former is based on JOIN, and the latter utilizes checksumming with binary search, which has minimal network IO and database workload overhead.

I really wish there was a better option for a Linux DHCP server. At my past job we were using isc-dhcp and it was absolutely horribly showing it's age (md5 api "keys", bespoke socket-based API "protocol", most things impossible to do via the "API", clustering that didn't really work, etc.). Kea is barely an improvement, with oddities such as being written in C++ and requiring recompiling for plugins, or an extremely weird API. It's obvious is still written by the same old folks who have no idea how software is supposed to work in the 2020s.

We need something modern - easy clustering, modern API, event stream, gRPC-based plugins, etc. (And yes, I have thought about developing it myself, it's on my pile of TODO)

If you answered one of those two, I'd ask why. And if you said "because what other option is there", _then_ you'd finally be asking the right question.

> One specific case of interest comes from British artist Stuart Semple who is both challenging and protesting the concept of “owning a color,” through the release of a purchasable paint offering dubbed “Pinkie” — which he says is the “barbiest pink.”

https://hypebeast.com/2023/7/stuart-semple-barbiest-pink-mat...

I assume this is the Mattel reference.

Trademark disputes can be won by just not competing in the trademark realm. If Mattel is protective of toys that are a certain pink and you release paint that color they won't/can't come after you.

Bringing out software that is a direct competitor while using a marking similar isn't just harder, it is effectively what trademark was designed to prevent.

Unless you can win a lawsuit where Adobe says "people assumed it was a cheaper version of my normal product made by me" you will lose in court.

Honestly my view is also someone fleccing given the whole Ventablack story being him making a mountain out of a molehill when a manufacturer gave one artist access to avoid having to work with a ton of people on a distraction from their usual work.

Additionally wouldn't GIMP and other open source tooling be good enough if Adobe tools could be cloned for a year's Salary of a Senior Engineer plus overhead?

> If you want to do what you want using android is an alternative …

I don’t agree with this. Google is implementing many restrictions, checks and rules too. Just like Apple. Their play store rules are equally comprehensive.

It is true that Google has a different approach to Android APIs and extensibility but they face many of the same problems as Apple has on their platform and you can see that they react to that every Android release by adding new security and privacy features or policies.
My observations are the same. It's good for some networking and industry news articles, but anyone in an HR or managerial role is posting a story meant to farm likes, so there is more noise than usual.
Sure, and maybe there's a way to approximate it? I don't know. I'm not particularly well versed on this topic, but when I hear "reconstruction of Foo" I imagine, well, a reconstruction of it. Not an artists visual interpretation of it. This is the first time I've ever seen a recreation in a purely visual sense.

With emphasis on "small" I got one called XGO mini 2 (and 1) that I sponsored on Kickstarter, which had it at half the price (400$ ish) but it's around $800 here[1].

It runs on Raspberry Pi which is a big +, as version 1 was running on custom hardware. People had to plug a Jetson Nano or other device to run their code (such as this [2]). It comes with their own App, connected via bluetooth, for simple commands too.

I (and most kickstart backers) funded/bought it for either hobby or research purpose (some backers were from labs) so if you're looking for *practical* application this one might be a bit too weak.

But version 1&2 did come with a processing power that could run YOLO detection so there's enough power to test things out and learn.

>They are actively hostile to user control.

These lines are wild. Android has great privacy controls and has had them as long or longer than Apple has.

Android gives 0 permissions by default in an app. Android requires 1 by 1 permission granting following a standard of least-required. Android's default permission selection is "Only this time" and not "Forever", meaning most users only grant temporary permission to the app. Android then automatically removes "forever" permissions that are unused after a period of 30-90 days without user input. Android is so aggressive about it that most "background" apps (widgets/battery monitors/weather) silently stop working as Google ruthlessly rips permissions away.

Heck -- unlike Apple, Google distributes nearly all of their apps and even system components through the App Store and still relies on standard user permissioning! You still have to grant Google the same permissions you grant any other app, even though it's "OS level". Imagine Apple authentically asking you for permission when you open a first party app and respecting it!

It's basically impossible to have an app use a permission you didn't know about on Android these days.

And in light of the great reality we live in, you have some crazy Apple stans in here saying "Google is actively hostile to user control". That line is wild considering almost every major iOS UX or hardware enhancement was ripped straight from an Android device that debuted it years prior... Between Apple and Google, there is no argument that Apple is the most hostile device company to "user control" in history. That's their thing! There's one way to do it, the Apple way, and if you want to customize it differently, you're the problem! ("Hostile to user control")

> I've long felt that our public institutions should roughly reflect the racial and gender makeup of the country.

How do you reconcile that with democracy? Consider gender for example. My mom has a strong preference for male elected officials. She’s no bumpkin—she has a master’s degree in chemistry. She simply embraces that aspect of traditional gender roles. This isn’t an uncommon view—women make up the majority of voters nearly everywhere, but most legislators are still men.

Is it democratic to tell these women that they’re wrong, and to impose a scheme of gender balancing that overrides their individual voting preferences?

Also, isn’t there an underlying contradiction in your position? In your view, is an Asian person fungible with a white person? If not—if you think an Asian maybe might bring an “Asian perspective” to the job, or give special attention to “Asian issues”—why isn’t it appropriate for a white majority district to prefer a white person to represent them?
What? You mean that the producers of a film used creative licensing to tell a story of a “based on actual events” event is not 100% exactly what happened because what happened is really boring so they spiced it up a bit?

Wow, thanks for sharing that. So far so good for me. I mainly eat beef with very little chicken if any. My blood work is good at the present. I try and buy a high-fat steak or the 80/20 ground beef. The butcher told me they can't put anything higher in fat on the shelves than 80/20 (lean/fat) ratio. It reminds me when I always wanted regular fat yogurt back in the 90s and early 2000s and could only find low-fat this or that. But they sure didn't skimp on the added sugars!

I grew up mainly eating meat and potatoes with an Irish mom and Ukrainian Dad! I don't eat pork as a Muslim. I find if I cheat and eat potatoes or pasta, I feel it right away. I am exercising regularly 3 to 4x per week at the boxing gym. At age 59, by BP is now ranging 118-122/68-74 with a 7-day resting HR of 59.
I am surprised that Zulip is not mentioned in this thread yet.

Sure, I guess my point is to consider the context of the person applying. If they are coming from a place with title inflation, it's not their fault that the company they worked for inflated titles. If you're exclusively hiring seniors and they are an inflated "senior", for sure you're under no obligation to hire them, but if you're open to intermediates, I think it's worth explaining how your titles might differ from their experiences and that intermediate is a better fit.

I suspect the importance of networking and the likelihood of ageism are often related.
Years ago I tried to install and sign up for Turo on iOS to rent out a car I owned. It was a luxury car with a rebuilt title.

After I put in the VIN of the car, I received an error, and inexplicably I was banned from the app. No notification as to why, no "we don't accept rebuilt title vehicles," nothing. Naturally I scoffed, deleted the app and forgot about it.

Last year a friend rented a few cars on Turo for a trip and added me as a driver to one of them. I had switched phone numbers but kept the same phone. I downloaded Turo again and signed up with a new phone number and new email.

Before Turo even asked for my driver's license information, I was blocked again. It must be due to fingerprinting, which persisted over years.

I'm unsure how much apps can learn about your user profile, other apps you have installed, and other uniquely identifiable data. I've assumed it was limited, but perhaps I've been naive.

I guess these new rules are generally good? But I can imagine for every nefarious usage of these APIs, there can be a plausible cover reason...

I'm not sure where you live, but I'm going to guess you are someplace where most restaurants have not discovered they can fire the chefs, buy factory produced food and reheat it with cheap labor. There is a massive quality difference, and so people who like good food will not eat in some places.

When I go to Europe or Asia, I have high confidence I can walk into a random restaurant/cafe and get good food made with high quality fresh ingredients on sight. Of course not every restaurant/cafe is good, but enough are.
> Now you have to declare that your usage is non malicious.

That's not even what you're declaring! I already quoted Apple's docs: "Declare this reason to access user defaults to read and write information that is only accessible to the app itself."

But sandboxing already makes this impossible, so the only thing you're declaring is that your app only does what the operating system allows it to do. Nothing about maliciousness or fingerprinting.

Moreover, the only way that Apple can actually detect fingerprinting is to reverse engineer the app, which Apple could do anyway regardless of whether developers self-report. Self-reporting is basically useless, because violators will simply lie.

Apple can already kick you out of the App Store for any reason, or no reason. And they could make a public rule against fingerprinting without requiring developer self-reporting, which is mostly a sham.
