I don’t use the App Store often, but today I tried to search for a couple of apps that were mentioned in a series I am following “can it be done in react native”. On both occasions I search for the app name. The names are very unique and yet the App Store doesn’t return them anywhere near the top of the list, if at all.

Is this now typical of the app store? Why do they even bother having a search? This must be hurting discovery of new apps.
Wow! This is going to take some time to go through. Thank you everyone for responding.
I suppose it's the same as in other EU countries, and when you outgrow the "easy and small" status, you can upgrade to a different type of company with more serious requirements.
How was this answer aggressive? The author of Odin claimed I lied that I had json serialization, because it wasn't possible.

I said you don't need AST to generate json serialization code.

I know, right? Rumors say it must have been a nation with incentives to conquer.

Jokes aside, I think that cyber warfare is the worst case scenario in terms of military efficiency, as it causes collateral civilian damage across the globe and its effects cannot be contained inside any borders.

And Toyota is a prime example of that. They ain't got nothing to do with the war, and were affected by it a bunch of times already.
> but instead of an electrochemical circuit of a human brain you've employed a virtual network.

technically it is still a tool you are using, differently from doing it on your own, with your hands, using your own brain cells, that you trained over the decades, instead of using a virtual electronic brain pre-trained in hours/days by someone else on who knows what.
> Direct CO2 removal (Climeworks). Seems like a drop in the bucket, but feel like this tech needs to grow.

I kindly disagree, and I think it is extremely important to understand that. This tech is fundamentally flawed and completely misses the point: climate change (hence CO2) is only a symptom of our biggest problem.

Our biggest problem is abundant energy:

1. Because we have access to a lot of energy, we transform the world in a way that is killing biodiversity: we are currently living a mass extinction (that's not a prediction, that's a fact, it's happening, we can measure it right now). We should do less with less, and preserve habitat for biodiversity. There is no high-tech solution to that, we should preserve life on Earth.

2. Because that abundant energy is mostly fossil based, it emits a ton of CO2. That creates climate change which threatens our very survival (now in the short term). Climate change will create global instability, mass immigration, wars, famines, etc. We don't want that, so we need to emit much, much less CO2. So much less, in fact, that the only viable solution is to do less with less. One could argue that we should "just" replace fossil fuels with better energies (good luck with that, we are not even remotely on that path), but that would not remove point 1 above.

3. Fossil fuels are not unlimited. The peak of conventional oil production was in 2008. The global peak for oil is around now, for gas it is soon. From the peak on, energy will become harder and harder to get (which will induce price instability). Whether we care about climate change and biodiversity or not, fossil energy is going down soon. We don't have viable replacements, so we will have to do less with less. Without abundant energy, we have the same kind of consequences as climate change: global instability, famines, etc. We need to prepare our society to live with less energy. Would you rather go to space on holiday, or eat?

Finally, CO2 removal requires a ton of energy. The only way it can ever possibly be useful is if we suddenly find a way to completely replace fossil energy with renewables (say with nuclear fusion). But it's really not clear at all if we will find such an energy now (nope, wind and solar are not viable replacements for all fossil fuels). Even if we did suddenly get fusion to work, it's already too late: it would take a lot of time to build enough plants everywhere and then rebuild the whole infrastructure to remove fossil fuel.

We need to act now, for our survival. It's high time we accepted that we failed to replace fossil fuels entirely, and even if we did we would still be in a mass extinction. We need to do less with less. Remove what's unnecessary, keep the essential.

It does not mean going back to how people lived in the Middle Age. We need a lot of clever technology if we want to do less with less. That's actually more challenging than what we are doing now, so we need clever people to rethink society and do less with less.
It's not a tech startup so I strongly doubt they're in our particular bubble.

From the top of my head, non-SUV/trucks:

Toyota GR Supra

Toyota GR86

Toyota GR Yaris

Toyota Yaris

Toyota GR Corolla

Toyota Corolla

Toyota Camry

Toyota Crown

Toyota Prius

Toyota Mirai

Toyota Aygo

+ Lexus models

There are more non-SUV/trucks than there are SUVs and trucks from Toyota. Seems strange you couldn't find any of these if you actually wanted one.
I really wish there was a plex for ebooks where I could just throw epubs on my server and read on kobo ereader, iphone, web, mac/windows native, etc and just not think about it. Would also be nice to have actually decent stats tracking and an anki like spaced repetition for any words i looked up in the app while reading. There are some sort of attempts it this but it all falls down with anything resembling saemless ereader support. For some odd reason there seems to be no overlap into good UI design with most devs working on anything reader related. Been waiting a decade for something like this but seems there is just no such demand.

Which can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it.
Toyotas are too expensive today. For total cost of ownership, it's probably reached parity with used BMWs, it's just that with the Toyota you frontload the maintenance costs in the purchase price. The BMW will be much nicer to drive, but it'll have $1,000 in surprise maintenance (on top of oil changes) every year while being much cheaper to acquire.

In my experience recorded CDs/DVDs, which I'm assuming extends to writable blueray too, there is often some degradation over time, so you need to check on things occasionally and transfer to new media as needed. So “never think about it again” doesn't really work, unless you are truly just hoarding and will never read the stuff back!

Though I've not used recordable CDs/DVDs for much for years, just occasionally when posting digital photos/videos up to a low-tech type who has limited slow Internet. These days online drives are large enough that I can keep everything I care to have to hand on a local RAID array for easy access, backed up remotely of course, and Internet access is quick and reliable so things that are less important or rare can be streamed or otherwise re-obtained easily. Maybe quality has improved over time?

Uh, C is not really small nowadays. ISO C specification is about 200 pages long even without all the library. (It's hard to compare directly, but Go is probably around 50~100 pages long when formatted similarly.) C could have been small enough, but ISO C is not.
That list is not correct for Europe/Southern Europe at least.
Nobody expects anything. The most tipping is done by rounding up. You have a 1.8 euro bill for coffee, you leave 2 euro.

The biggest difference between NA and Europe is that in NA a lot of people work for tips, as in, they're going to try to service you to get them. This is not the way it works in Europe, waiters do appreciate tips especially in places that have lower purchasing power, they will take your order, bring your food, bring your bill, and be on disposal if you want to call them anytime, but they're not going to try to look outgoing and approachable and hassle you with "is everything ok" questions for better tip.
Even for devices you own, storage options are often only rated to last a decade or less (although they might do better in practice, it becomes a gamble). Options like printing photos start making a lot of sense when you're thinking about the span of your life and maybe even up to your grandchildren's.
Was there any justification for this provided by the management?
The "disagree and commit" leadership principle is supposed to represent a situation where the manager is the one who disagrees with a subordinate but trusts the subordinate's judgement enough to commit to going along with their idea (this also works for a peer relationship). The relevant LP for the subordinate is "earn trust". Simply following orders is not an LP. Of course there is enough vagueness in the LPs that Jassy can twist the meaning a bit.

Taking this from a different perspective, let's say that ChatGPT, CodePilot, or similar service gets trained on Windows source code. Then a WINE developer uses ChatGPT or CodePilot to implement one of the methods. Is WINE then liable for including Windows proprietary source code in their codebase even if they have never seen that code.

The same would apply to any other application. What if company A uses code from company B via ChatGPT/CodePilot because company B's code was used as training data? Imagine a startup database company using Oracle's database code through use of this technology.

And if a proprietary company accidentally uses GPL code through these tools, and the GPL project can prove that use, then the proprietary company will be forced to open source their entire application.

Yes, another responder here in this thread wrote a good post explaining how this works. It's the best argument I've seen yet for compulsory voting.

It was incompatible with the safety of Europe first of all. Both economic and military. Yes, we had a cheap ride, but it's over. In 2014 you could still pretend but in 2023 nobody wants to have blood on their hands.
There is making things, and there is making things as if you have a decade of experience in every single tool and framework and library that you’re using. The latter feels way better.

ChatGPT and Copilot makes the programming experience feel like the latter. Despite me having never used any of these libraries or tools before. The code just flows out smoothly.
I live in an 18th-century building with small windows that don't let in much sunlight during winter. The walls are 0.5m thick and made of rocks. I close shutters in all of the rooms except the one I'm working in. Despite this, the temperature inside can reach 32°C during the day. I can't keep the windows open at night due to the noise from motorbikes. So I can't sleep without AC and I can't cool down my apartment.
Thanks, glad you have such an opinion now.

> Everybody has its own view on what a good quest is, the space quest can be seen as a way to save humanity, which might on the long term ?

I kindly disagree. Nobody wants to live forever on Mars (if you do, you may as well go live in a bunker and never go out, no need to go there). Nobody wants to live forever in a spaceship (for the same reason).

What does that mean? The goal, what people actually want with the "space quest", is to find another planet. Check how far the closest star is (that's more than 4 light years away): we cannot even theoretically go there in any kind of meaningful way, even in the long term.

If your quest is to become a multi-planetary species, you should do theoretical physics on Earth and try to find a way to go that far. No need to solve the engineering problems first, let alone in a resource-intensive and counter-productive way (w.r.t. our survival on Earth).

I find it amazing that engineers don't find it insane to do all the engineering work for something that is, currently, theoretically impossible. It's like building public transportation all over the world based on the idea that we will discover telekinesis ("it doesn't work right now, but as soon as you have telekinesis, it will be great"). Yes it would be cool, but the only sane way to look at it today is that telekinesis is not a thing.
Ask for more stock/promotions/pay. You won't get what you don't ask for. As an early employee, you have value in your company knowledge.

Otherwise, I'd probably just leave for a company with better pay and better work/life balance.

I've done the startup rodeo before. Worked several nights till 1am. Once worked till 4:30am, slept 3 hours and then right back to the office. After 18 months at that job, badly burnt-out, I was rewarded with layoff and had to find a new job. Never again.

It's much less stressful to just get a higher paying job where you only have to work 6-8 hours a day, with maybe an on-call rotation.

> it may even lead to an increase of users downloading potentially dangerous versions of apps from sketchy websites.

This also is Google's fault, for not providing any way to download .apk files from the Play store. They always choose the route with least user control.
And then they take that $2M and bribe someone at Google to ensure 59% of the image search results are from Pinterest.

> Big difference, but in Germany you're not allowed any kind of right leaning opinion

The fact that the centre-right economically and to a large extent socially, Angela Merkel, was chancellor for 16 years, and that the neo-nazi adjacent AfD exist proves you wrong.

There's right, and there' s "let's deport everyone of immigrant descent" far-right (using an example from the French far right because it's a fun one I recall, no idea if the AfD also campaign for this). Surely you can see how they're different and why one is actually actively dangerous, especially in a country that knows all too well when you let far rightists get away with it.

I also saved _everything_ever_ from the first files my kid fingers typed out on a C64 keyboard and put to tape, those tapes are still there, as .wav files in my archives.. Why wav? Because they contain not only my first love-letters that I never got a printer (nor courage) to print out, but also snippets of the music that my dad had taped onto there off of the radio in the 80s, stuck there, between my data recordings..

As someone with almost no working memory and fairly bad long-term memory, I'm so happy to have this sea of digital (and analog) detritus to sift through, to help me remember who I was and what I saw.

Everything I ever downloaded, inside "Desktop/Desktop/desktop/backups/oldpc/desktop/downloads/desktop/" awaits layers of my life, ready to be explored anew. Everything from the silly gifs I got on MSN messenger, to .pif files pointin into the void to remind me of that game I once played so often it earned a spot on my desktop.

Terabyte after terabyte of who I was and what I did, it is my most important treasure, and I enjoy strolling through it in it's pure, raw form.

I wonder how much of the savings comes from the refactoring and how much from the difference between the speed of python and elixir.
No it isn't. If it were actually more difficult and degrading then Starbucks workers would be paid more than programmers and/or Starbucks wouldn't exist.

Working in a Starbucks is extremely easy compared to programming. You may find you enjoy programming and many of us are lucky to enjoy work that is in fact quite difficult, but take 100 people at random off the street and you will find that 100 of them can work in Starbucks given a few days training, no problem. The only ones who will be able to do any programming after a few days training are the ones who were already programmers.
Perhaps you’re correct, but I’m not saying don’t take an offer from the company. More an advice to accept a little risk that the exploding offer won’t explode and carry on with your job hunt. My advice above was to keep as many cards in play as you can, and recognise where you have leverage (which includes sunk cost of qualifying you as a candidate to hiring company), and try to maximise that leverage as it normally gives you a better return than any in-role pay rise and promotion prospects once you start new role.

Recognising you don’t have much leverage and have no option but to be exploited is a sad reality to have to accept, but of course if your job prospects are not great then that can be the case, and then maybe at least you can wait until the last day before you accept an exploding offer, where you have more knowledge of how the rest of your interview pipeline is progressing.
> Yes, this is a perfect example how political silencing works: I say everyone should get an equal voice, and you twist my words, and say I'm supporting right-wing populism.

You are the one twisting words here. Just like you twisted GP words in your previous post. GP did not say that you support right-wing populism but that your post was a perfect demonstration of it. This post of yours is also a demonstration of what GP was talking about.
I think the answer is more or less there in your question:

Speech? Do it freely.

Retaliation? Go to jail.

Of course there are huge caveats to these.

For instance, doxing is speech which I don't think should be protected ("Joe was was a member of the Nazi party and he lives at this address"). There's no debate or formulation of ideas in it. But if you said "All former Nazi party members should be deported". It's hateful but I think it should be protected: it's political, it's abstract, it can be debated.

I wonder how is it useful to moralize about the choices of a very-very few famous and rich people, who are constantly on display in the media.

Begins interestingly, but by the end you realize that the good quests given as examples are good in the hindsight, or in the to-be-hindsight if they succeed. In mid-'00s Paul Graham was dismissive of those who worked on neural networks as doing futile job. Nowadays, someone would label that NN work as hard and useful, or hard and evil quest, but definitely not a waste of time. So NNs would jump in the chart of good-bad-hard-easy, which means the estimates are very relative.

I guess founders who became investors do also think they're in a good quest, just with their investments.
I find that attitude strange, like risk-averse. It sounds like a hobby, not like a startup company. Such a venture (Kleingewerbe) is effectively a sole proprietorship, meaning no separation of liability, probably no employees, no capital thus no shares and no private investing, and also very limited possibility to get public funding.

It matches my perception that people in Berlin will come together to start some brick and mortar business without big growth potential and call it a "startup". Yes they did "start up" a company, but if you choose the English rather than German word that people associate with silicon-valley style tech startup to describe your venture, I think you should have a business model that aims for growth, not just a be a collection of young people to start a company. I guess it shows that in risk-averse Germany, traditionally young people become employed rather than start their own companies. So even if it's not a startup in the VC sense, the young entrepreneurs still call it that because it is risky and modern from their point of view.
