There are tools focused on Code Generation, and those that are focused on Code Analysis or Integrity.
Their UX/UI might be very different as well as the underlying tech.

I wonder if you have tried tools that are dedicated to Code Integrity, e.g. generating tests?

What baffles me about this "gang-related" cases of violence is that it's presumably over drug money. And Sweden has rather low drug consumption level and is essentially cashless, so any transaction larger than shopping for groceries goes via a bank. And Swedish banks are very transparent and compliant and have very strict KYC/AML rules. I once had to explain to the bank why my friend transferred me an equivalent of $200 and every ATM deposit as well, even if it's $20. How the fuck are the drug money passed around in enough quantities to warrant "gang wars" here?
I’ve gotten emails from some other Gmail account, for example an Uber receipt. I found that by digging in the header that there was a “x-forwarded-to:” to me. My guess is that the original user accidentally configured a bad email forward.
That's the "I could implement dropbox with sftp and rsync in an afternoon" response. It's nice not to have to, and people can be forgiven for exchanging money for time.
It certainly is not as bright and shiny as the iPhone, but frankly I LOVE blackberry keyboards. The OS was also amazing, it had honestly everything you need in a phone. You don't need youtube, facebook, an entire computer in your phone (as far as I am concerned). What you need was text messaging, being able to browse the internet/read snippets, news (if that matters to you), email, phone. It had ALL of that in a much better package then iPhone (minus the browsing that was still when dot mobi was a thing).
It's been happening a lot lately. Last decade or so we've began to have a real gang problem.

It wasn't helped by the fact that hand grenades were classed as illegal fireworks up until like 2017, and fairly risk free to smuggle into the country.
It's in the article

> bombs are mainly used to intimidate targets, while shootings are used to kill enemies.
Also AWS has so many services that the SDKs are mainly generated from json descriptions + nice wrappers on top. That leads to a different and less abstracted type of code than you'd write yourself - which leads to bigger compiled objects.

Ruby had this problem too and at some point split the SDK into multiple gems so you don't have to install everything.
Revolut seems to act like a bank but is it regulated as a proper bank? I am suspicious of it because it was touted to me as "made by Russians" but since I'm one it had the opposite effect.

But anyway I don't think you can sign up for Revolut without a proper bank account and residence in one of eligible countries while Wise can charge even a debit card. Limits and slightly higher fees apply and they require ID verification but it works. I had to do it while unbanked.
OS 9 ran on PowerPC CPUs (like the one in the Wii) and more or less supported ATI and NVIDIA GPUs of the era (90s), but the GPU in the Wii, which can be traced back to the GPU in the GameCube, was created in 2000, so I would guess it’s a small change between the ATI GPUs of the 90s and whatever they changed for the GameCube GPU, which then was passed down to the Wii GPU.

Graphics drivers are always a fickle thing with modern hackintoshes, so I would guess it has to do with the GPU “driver”. It could also be related to VRAM as the GameCube and Wii GPUs were likely both significantly weaker than the average desktop GPU of their respective eras. I know for sure the Wii GPU was already antique when the Wii was released because the Wii only output up to 480p, a joke in 2006 when 1080p TV were starting to become mainstream… so from that perspective we can’t be surprised that this thing is struggling with text rendering, if the GPU is indeed the culprit.

That is an entirely different meaning of consistency. GP was talking about CAP theory, as they acknowledged in a follow-up comment.
> The right wing loves to point out cultural discrepancies in minority populations they vilify but apparently pointing out effective culture is anathema.

It's not "effective culture". It's just wealth and everybody knows it. Indian-American migrants are almost all Brahmin elite who amassed their riches thanks to the deeply exploitative Indian caste system. There is absolutely nothing impressive about that. It's hideous.

> India is a country that has been growing at an average rate of 7% for more than two decades

Literally who cares? Why should any Indian or American worker give a single shit about this? Why would this make American workers want more Indian migrants moving to America? Because India's elite have a lot of money and oppressed masses? You have no point to make as far as I can tell.

> and has plenty of billion dollar unicorns and a strong culture of entrepreneurship

Again who cares? Not me.

99% cheaper is probably much more of a turn-off to possible customers than an appealing feature.

50% cheaper is something that I'd look into. 99% cheaper feels like this is going to one or more of: a scam, a fly-by-night operation [unable to afford good customer service, etc], hidden exchange fees [giving me a terrible rate and telling me that's not the case], a planned bait-and-switch, and/or an unsustainable business that will evaporate after I switch to them.

Price and fees matter. But driving them down too low and leading with that as your pitch makes your best potential customers skeptical (and hurts your own ability to build a sustainable business).
Discord threads seem worse though, or maybe I'm using them wrongly.
I'm pretty sure drug users in Sweden don't buy drugs with their credit card.
I'd rather pay the higher fees than give any money to a company that treats it employees the way Revolut does. The CEO and his company culture is not sustainable and I would not be surprised in the future when some scandal comes out.
looks great but when i see low prices to catch users, i always think of when services start with subsidised rates, rack in users, and then they do bait-and-switch to boost their margins later down the line. Wise/Revolut are clear examples. Start cheap/free to get users, then once they get traction start slowing increasing rates to improve margins/profitability. So great if you really have an operational model that allows you to grow and stay profitable keeping that fixed fee, but i doubt it will. I think if you explain why your product is cheaper and why you can keep it cheaper sustainably compared to competitors then I would believe it

Light e-mobility is the future. E-bikes are already 2X the "regular" bike market in the US. E-bikes put lower density areas within bikeable range. That's still only 5% the size of the car market, but it is rapidly growing, while car sales are stable or declining.
Largely cultural, I think, and being able to use each as might be appropriate within the culture. For example, using "Hi, <first name>" when sounding casual, but using "Dear Ms <last name>" when trying to sound formal. Nothing that's likely to be mission-critical, but a natural inclination based on cultural upbringing that we may not even realize is affecting our product design.
>> If you ignored the conversation you may not have seen it, but most reply-all storm ended up with someone saying something the line of "we don't care about your wallet".

Not quite. It started with a meeting invite that was accidentally sent to everyone. The meeting was for the Amazon Wallet team (I think they did something with payments, etc.) for whatever work they were doing at the time.

Most people ignored the meeting invite and just deleted it, but someone hit "Reply All" and said something to the effect of "I know this meeting invite was not for me, but I wanted to make sure that whoever was supposed to get it did not miss the meeting."

From there, it turned into a "Reply All" storm with lots of people replying all with "Please do not reply all".

Others thought it was funny and sent memes. One guy was so bold to promote his indie rock band that was taking off.

The incident is famous and became known as "Wallet", but the name comes from the Amazon Wallet team.
No, but they want to use the new license to stop competitors from making better alternatives to Terraform Cloud.

Speaking of the 9900 here… Maybe it was the size of my hand but I found the form factor hit a sweet spot. I could navigate every thing with my thumb. I could do this because of the swipe pad in the center and the size and layout of the touch screen. This coupled with the keyboard shortcuts made that model an ergonomic joy. The second reason for my comment is because during this period of time phones seemed to strike a better balance between phone usage and media consumption. Granted, this wasn’t necessarily unique to BB but I found their limited App Store to be a feature.

Well I sort of did, didn't want to delete the guy's stuff, so I made a dummy gmail account, switched it to that and deleted the gmail account after weeks of spam emails and trying to contact facebook I figured he could do some of the hard work to get his account back.

Of course it backfired, after he stopped using his account facebook and a couple of weeks facebook started sending begging emails to my email account again (don't believe them when they say they delete anything), I still get the occasional "what you've missed on FB" emails and about once a year the guy tries to recover his account and I get an email, I'd drop him a note, but the only email address I have for him is mine

Candidly this is not my area of expertise but I always thought it was multi-vendor. Lacking first-hand knowledge, a curious quick web search does imply that at least the Open/XA standard was supposed to be multi-vendor:

The Open Group has defined an industry-standard model for transactional work that allows changes made against unrelated resources to be part of a single global transaction. An example of this is changes to databases that are provided by two separate vendors. This model is called the X/Open Distributed Transaction Processing model.

Source: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.1?topic=concepts-xa-transact...

Is Microsoft's MSDTC more single-vendor? Even that seems to support multi-vendor databases through its support of Open/XA:

When the DTC acts as an XA-compliant transaction manager, Oracle, IBM DB/2, Sybase, Informix, and other XA-compliant resource managers can participate in transactions that the DTC controls.

Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/...

Diving into the history of which distributed transaction manager was the first to support multi-vendor database transactions is left as an exercise for the reader...

P.S. Some good Oracle docs on distributed transactions that gives you a flavor of how it works: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/A97630_01/java.920/a96654/xadistr...

I suspect industry knowledge/awareness of this stuff waned as web-generated transactions boomed and cloud platform vendors like AWS sold "eventual consistency" to developers and through them back to management and end users (like myself!) who think "Oh, that's weird, why didn't X update? Let me just refresh my browser... oh, there it is".

Zoom is basically a respin of WebEx. Teams is a bunch of modules bolted on to SharePoint and Exchange. A “team” is an exchange artifact, the voice and video is a module and the rest is a SharePoint front end.

Zoom is a better value if you need features beyond the base teams. You pay a simple fee and get the whole shebang. With Teams, you may need different SKUs, including Azure AD, etc to get the full feature set. It’s a funnel to E5.
There are some differences. Sweden, for various reasons, seems to cluster immigrants into fewer places with more of them all together. And the clustering creates service shortages for police, social services, jobs, etc. This makes for more kids that should be in school to not be in school, and also higher unemployment than there would be if they were more spread out. That heavy clustering also creates fewer opportunities to integrate with the locals, so the immigrant communities are more insular. All of that makes it easier for extremists to recruit, intimidate, organize, etc.
Police in Germany is a bit more strict about grenades than the one in Sweden.

In bigger German train stations you regularly see machine-gun armed police.
I don't understand why so many people take any criticism of the USA as a personal insult.

In many regards USA is a great country, in some/many regards it is not. Constructive criticism like from the parent comment would only make it even better.

It's not like the parent just criticized for the sake of criticizing. He also gave a proposal to improve the whole system. You can agree or disagree, maybe provide a better proposal, but this dismissal brings nothing to the discussion.
I thought Australia would surely be in NATO and that would deter China from doing that but after looking it up, it looks like NATO and Australia merely have "deepened relationships" (according to an article from last year), whatever that means. Today I learned!

in the Netherlands we are seeing an uptick of grenade-attacks, and they are generally related to criminal organisations.
Harber Bosch was present before WW2. WW2 was mostly fought for Lebensraum, aka place to grow food with medieval methods (no fertilizer) for a industrial sized nation. They could easily have fed all these people, if free trade and fossil fuel imports would have been available and guaranteed. No reason to start the whole war in the first place.

But they were not- and could not be relied on if a colonial empire singled you out and cut trade. Thus the war aims, the goals and execution. The existence of the british empire or a similar empire was the precondition for WW2.
How would dot sensitivity prevent that?
Yeah it’s important to point out that programming is not software engineering is not computer science.

Computer science mostly requires a pencil and a piece of paper.

Programming is the act of making a computer do what you’ve written down on that paper.

Software engineering is figuring out what do you need the pencil for and once you’ve done it, making sure computers are doing what programmers think they told them to.

It’s impressive for what it is. But after noodling around with UTM and Fusion, I subscribed to Parallels, and it’s on a whole different level. I used it years and years ago to emulate x86 on PowerPC Macs, and it’s the gold standard. Night and day.
But a manager might want to have at least a rough estimate of how much something costs before deciding what to buy. That is, they might want to know roughly how long something is going to take before deciding to put it as a high priority item.

any reason why you prefer it over Ryujin? I'm on the opposite side; I remember the setup with Ryujin is much faster if you have a fairly recent rig.
If you're on apple silicon and the VM is x86, I agree the performance is abysmal. I'm pretty sure this is just a QEMU issue and not really the fault of UTM. If your VM is aarch64, the VM performance is amazingly great and I can't recommend UTM enough.
EU fails to understand that if my market widely adopts Teams as a mean of communication, I will use it to conduct my business regardless of what the EU gov thinks about it.

But when they regulate the unbundling and Microsoft might make me pay extra to use something that I always had "included", they are actively making more difficult to run a business.

It's just a tool. If I want to use Zoom, I will use it. It's not like I am being "protected" by a move like this.
Exactly. The dots are useful from a UX perspective, as it makes "incorrectly addressed" email more obvious.

I've spent way too much time thinking about this.

Well, specifically about the kind of person who would use an email address they don't own to (a) buy a house, (b) apply for a FL sheriff's job, (c) conduct financial transactions, etc. (all actual examples I've received).

Even in England, you would have to consider King Charles III's name. His given names are Charles Philip Arthur George. No family name. Of course, now his name is even a bit longer: "Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith". So, if you think he might sign up for your app, make sure your name field is long enough, and that the "Preferred Name" field can accommodate a space: "Charles III" or "Charles Rex"
Task Decomposition / Task Management is only a small part of SLDC, but both Scrum and Kanban mostly focusing on it.

Kanban is a great fit for the reactive work (e.g. bug fixing, support, mainetnance, ops, etc.)

Scrum solves a bin-packing problem, how to decompose work into imaginary tasks and fill them into 1-2-3-4 week cycles (aka sprints). Additionally it based on the false assumption that it's possible to accurately do time estimation of each task.

There is a continuum between purely reactive/unplanned work to purely proactive/planned work:

Kanban →
Scrum 1 wk sprints →
Scrum 2 wks sprints →
Scrum 3 wks sprints →
Scrum 4 wks sprints →
mini-waterfall / RUP / Shape Up 6 wks cycles

The shorter the cycle, the lower the response time, the greater the planning overhead, and the lower the software quality.[2]

IMO it's impossible to build and deliver a non-trivial feature with high software quality in <= 3 weeks.

Detailed task management is an anti-pattern, initially issue trackers were used to track bugs only, not as TODO lists.

Under mini-waterfall once the stakeholders agree on the goals, approve the design documents and delivery dates, the developers can work autonomously, they don't need to use task management tools, they can do it with pen and paper, or in their head if they want, it doesn't matter . Everything else is micro-management, handling only imaginary tasks, no tasks discovered after the work has already begun.

Another distinction lies in how Scrum views developer teams as conveyor belts. In this approach, you can assign any set of imaginary tickets, regardless of their relation, and the team will implement them.

To the contrary in the mini-waterfall methods, you present developers with a cohesive collection of tasks featuring pre-approved, thoughtfully planned, and peer-reviewed designs. The best case is when devlopers are doing design by themselves, that way they don't need somebody else to decompose work into detailed tasks for them.
