From my point of view, all the engines that don't have C# as the main programming language are already out from the "Unity like" pool, followed by not having console support, VR/AR headsets, and being supported in all major industry SDKs.
The big difference is that every Windows computer (in a professional environment) comes with a very nice GUI tool for easily editing Excel files. A tool that basically everybody know how to use. The same cannot be said for SQLite.

SQLite is great for storing application state and config options set from within the app, but it is a pretty terrible format for end users to edit.
Exactly, so just use JSON for configuration. This will upset the people that have not yet learned to get over it, but you really need people that got over it.

They're referring to the Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. lawsuit

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

Basically Ford wanted to cut shareholders dividends to dramatically increase production and the number of people employed in his plants while at the same time cutting the costs and prices of his cars.

He told his shareholders that the goal was the long term benefit of the company and the value of this strategy to them was not a consideration for the plan.

Shareholders didn't like it and the Dodge brothers, who were among the largest ones, indeed sued him.

The court held that Ford could not lower consumer prices and rise employee salaries.
It also upheld the order requiring that directors declare an extra dividend of $19.3 million.

Many people point out at this lawsuit when questions arise as to why corporations squeeze as much value as they can for the shareholders at the expenses of basically everything else.
I previously argued that TOML wasn't good enough in this blog post https://dystroy.org/blog/hjson-in-broot/ where I show an example of problem which frequently hurts my users and leaves them lost without even understanding that the problem is in how they wrote their TOML.

I moved the configuration of several of my programs to Hjson. There are still problems but they're less puzzling. Hjson isn't ideal either but might still be the best configuration format we have today.

They actually seem pretty accurate depictions of friend groups to me.

Friends: the friend group was defined by college room-mate, family and room-mates i.e. people thrust together as a unit and then socialising together. They went to Central Perk as this unit, and did not become friends through it.

Seinfeld: the friend group was defined by college room-mate, a neighbour and an ex-girlfriend. They didn't meet in third-places, they went to the diner as that unit. That Kramer was an outgoing weirdo using his proximity to basically force himself into a pre-existing relationship is familiar. The presence of Elaine is unusual but she was basically grafted-on to fix a sitcom rather than drawn from real life.

Cheers: this is more of the "people you know at a third place" but the running joke was that despite drinking every day with each other, they weren't really friends and didn't even like each other. This type of "regular acquaintance" is perhaps a familiar experience for a lonely adult struggling to find new friends. You can shoot the breeze with someone you see regularly but it's a constrained relationship.

It's unfortunate that the strangers who want to talk at third-places are only the Kramers and Cliffs of the world. A combination of bores and nutters that you have to actively avoid. Anyone vaguely normal has ear-buds in and head down. It would be nice to try and reverse that. At a minimum, normalise saying "hello" to strangers as a polite necessity instead of a red flag. For some reason it's common when hiking but not in a city. I'm more likely to chat to a stranger in the wilderness than a dense neighbourhood.
> My challenge for readers: Propose any alternative to retributivism that precludes family punishment

The assumption underlying this is that one has to have some moral system, some set of explicable rules, consistently applied. The reality is that one's sense of morality doesn't spring from a set of rules but is more akin to an aesthetic judgement. We feel that things are wrong.

This doesn't mean we can't discuss morality. On the contrary, different people have different moral feelings and those feelings can change in response to new information and to persuasion. Moreover we have ways of achieving some form of overall consensus, embodied in cultural artifacts, systems and rules. But these (in a healthy society) are living things, continually updated and maintained and ultimately in service of the feelings of the individuals and groups that make up a society.

It's common to argue that someone's moral judgements are inconsistent and therefore invalid, but moral judgements, being akin to aesthetic ones, can never be inconsistent because they are independent emotional responses to particular scenarios. That doesnt mean that arguments about consistency are pointless, though, as we may come up with a rule that produces different outcomes in scenarios we feel should have the same outcome. But there we are talking about the consistency of a rule and how well or badly it reflects out own moral judgements, not our moral judgements themselves.

So to this challenge I'd just say that I don't need an "ism" to feel that both retribution-motivated state punishment and family punishment are wrong, and that if you can't think of an "ism" that describes the majority view that's a failing of moral philosophy as an academic subject, not something that has any bearing on my moral judgements whatsoever.

That's how I think about it, anyway.

Android apps themselves can't run as root. The apps that do perform operations "as root" do so by spawning a shell process running as root, usually using `su -c`. That's on a rooted device. Normally, all privileged actions are done by system daemons that run with appropriate permissions and that apps communicate with through the "binder" IPC mechanism. Those daemons also handle access control — both the regular Android permissions and the god mode for "system privileged" apps.

Perversely, some governments reward terrorists’ (and other criminals’) families with monthly stipends.

That is a very one-sided point of view. Do you think the people you call terrorists - and people sympathizing with them - think of themselves as terrorists? And even if they do, do you think they think terrorism is bad in their situation? Were the people blowing up a bomb next to Hitler terrorists and was what they did bad? I bet Hitler and Stauffenberg will have quite different opinions on that.

Well, that's a complete apples-to-oranges proposal with completely different requirements.

With the original solution, you have an autocontained file that virtually any user knows how to edit, structure, expand, version, email, compare, discuss...

The level of user knowledge that you need for a similar solution based on a standalone SQLite file that you can version is another different world, e.g. to relate two values you would need to perhaps create a view or a trigger. And even with the most knowledgeable user you would still lack functionality such as simply pasting an image as a means of documentation and be able to see it, or WYSIWYG colors.
One question comes to mind... Why do they raise this now and not when it was released in 2020???

Sorry, this isn't how the employment market works.

* "help evaluate my skills and use this information for job placement purposes"

* "some recruiter or agency could give me a test and help me understand my value"

* "I'd be willing to put a hell of a lot more effort in"

Nobody cares about whatever unique snowflake combination of random skills you happen to have from previous jobs (and you shouldn't either). Employers care only about their own needs, which they more or less clearly communicate in their job ads, and they look for people who are minimally qualified for those roles.

You need to look at what the market wants, and provide that. Understanding your value, and putting effort in is on you, nobody can do that for you.

What? First, contract killing (which is what you seem to describe here) is exceptionally rare in most societies and second, rehabilitation does not preclude police from interfering with crime. Of course you stop a killing if you have prior knowledge of it, if necessary by restraining/incarcerating the alleged killer. Rehabilitation is implemented once guilt has been established to allow a convicted criminal to re-enter society as a productive individual as soon as possible while minimizing the risk to other members of society.

Electrification of transport is one of the key solutions to climate change (and urban air pollution).

I can't be the only person who thinks the monumental effort spent on config formats is bike-shedding.

JSON is good enough for anything I've done. Not perfect, but no serious flaw that can't be fixed by just adding a simple app-specific post-process step that I will inevitably do for any other format anyway. JSONSchema gives us some typing sanity.

Can we just move on already to more interesting problems? It's not like git fulfills every VCS wish I've ever had either, but I have to move on. Projects and libs that introduce new config formats that continually remake the wheel, whose quirks have to be learned, are not helping my net productivity.

Years ago, my wife and I went to a “make your own wine” thing in Napa. A few months later we had a blind tasting of our two wines, a $12 bottle of Kirkland Signature from Costco, and a $125 bottle. 6 tasters, and the unanimous result was for the Kirkland Signature.

On its own, that sentence doesn't seem self-contradictory per se, even if they're not pro-union. It's like an employee saying "I'm not anti-employer, but I'm not neutral" (when it comes to salary negotiations), or an activist saying "I'm not anti-government, but I'm not neutral" (when it comes to government powers). It just means you're not arguing against the existence or operation of that entity, as you acknowledge they clearly have an important role to play, but that you have conflicting interests, so you're clearly advocating for your side to advance your own interests.

However, the rest of the video makes it clear they're against the very existence of their employees forming any union whatsoever, which seems pretty clearly anti-union...
How does that analogy apply if you’re trying to justify that one should simply give up that “convenience,” which has just been a basic notion of car driving? In my view it’s rather an inconvenience. I’d rather not have to manage that concern at all. Instead, you suggest to accept an even worse alternative? Smartphones are capable of more, not less. EVs aren’t capable of more than an ICEV, which doesn’t hold up to an analogy.

>I'm not sure why you're being such a stickler.

I'm not them, but from observing the discourse it's clear they have a better grasp of past events and are being far more reasonable.

For example, perhaps they are mindful that:

1. At the iPhone 6 stage EU legislation was asking phone makers to use MicroUSB standard, not the type C connector.

2. Apple had only recently changed to the lightning connector, switching again so quickly to new, unproven, connector is not smart. Especially one that at the time didn't have much hardware support, didn't support all of the modes needed by Lightning and wasn't being requested by regulatory bodies.

3. The EU's USB Type C mandate isn't even active until late 2024 and only applies to newly released devices. i.e. Both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 could have come with lightning.

4. Apple phone's are designed far longer than a year in advance. Apple have stated numerously that their product development is a many years long process and that they're actively planning multiple products for years in advance. This is also necessary aspect of developing products for mass production.

The product path and decisions suggested to implement the type C connector in an iPhone 6 is naive, largely ignorant to product development and based on present-day attitudes to USB Type C.
Nice work. How did you go about app signing on macOS? It's a big issue making something that doesn't launch like the antichrist built it.

The reaction to this specific clip is merely a synecdoche of the reaction to Amazon's labor practices writ large. If you were following the news about the unionization efforts at Amazon warehouses at all you would know the lengths to which Amazon makes their employees' lives painful. Extremely high injury rates compared to other warehouse jobs, the complete dehumanization experienced in the automated system of quantifying "operational excellence" or whatever euphemism they want to call "invasive tracking and computer-defined evaluation", etc. And if you have friends who work in Amazon corporate, you would know the culture there is generally (though there are exceptions) one that encourages petty politicking, ruthless subjugation to inappropriate KPIs, and the negging-overwork-burnout pipeline engendered by the management style encouraged from above.

Amazon succeeds by extracting ruthlessly in all domains. Generally when people understand the scope of these issues, it's only the Land acolytes and the psychopaths who consider Amazon's rise as "progress" unqualified.
