I don't care how it is organized, I just don't want them all flying over me. Living near such a distribution centre would be like living next to an airport unless there are regulations enforced that they ascend vertically so high that they cannot be heard.

How many road trips would it replace? Drones capable of carrying a 5 kg payload over any distance are fairly big. The DJI Matrice 600 Pro for instance weighs 15 kg and is over a metre across. It has a hover time of only 18 minutes. Maximum speed is 65 kph so its round trip range is about 20 km.

A small electric van can easily carry a hundred such packages and has an empty weight of roughly one hundred times that of the drone.

Presumably the drones used for deliveries would have to be much more robust and have much longer ranges, both of which would make them heavier.

So 100 drones replace one van.

I'm sure there are huge holes in my analysis perhaps, you can improve it so that it shows that a substantial number of road trips would be replaced without filling the sky with drones.

There are multiple networking standards in USB, for example. Almost every USB ethernet dongle is using one of the USB standards for networking. Obviously, Windows didnt support any of these until relatively recently. They were too busy trying to promote "their" standard (RNDIS) which as usual practically nothing supported other than PocketPC and ... early Android.

Whenever you wonder "why dont we have a standard interface for X" the answer is, inevitably, Microsoft. They frequently refuse to provide builtin drivers for standard interfaces and, whenever they do, usually as second class citizens, _even_ when it is their own standard (e.g. MTP).

You cannot even imagine how much the extremely poor support has completely shaped todays smartphone OSes (e.g. the duality in android between media storage and user storage coming from being forced to fallback on Mass Storage) and why everyone used to complain how difficult it is to transfer files from an Android to a PC using a cable.

> The left however tends to shun the fact that a lot of the toxic masculinity comes from women and their expectations on men and boys

This just isn't true. The fact that men AND women are taught this "manly man" crap by both their mothers and fathers is commonly discussed. It's often reported that women don't self reflect but follow any prominent feminist and you'll hear them talking about this often.

> There isn't anything men can do to stop toxic masculinity until women stops propagating it

This is both false and a poor human excuse for bad behavior. You can have better conversations. You can model better behavior. You can call out misogyny. It's fun or comfortable or do but it's with your control. Don't push all the hard work to others. Do it yourself. (I do. It's not fun but it's important.)

> the left sees no problem with women and teachers propagating toxic masculinity, at least I've never seen them talk about it as a problem that needs fixing.

Be honest with yourself. Where are you looking? Articles like this that make it seem like we should over index on self inflicted wounds or aces where women talk about the difficulties they face because of heavily patriarchal society?

GitHub and GitLab workflows are much more convenient in my opinion. They were made with actual workers in mind: developers, QA, release managers, DevOps, etc. Jira, on the other hand, is purely manager's toy with all it's useless features that often stand in a way of daily routine. I never saw any developer who was happy about Jira.

I am talking about things like puzzle games, board games, etc. There was one digital board game I used to play with my friends, it was such a simple game I probably could have built it in 2 days in JavaScript, but they developed it in unity…one ~60 minute game would heat up my laptop like I had put it in the microwave and completely drain the battery from 100%. For a board game with no fancy graphics. My friends all had the same problem. If someone were traveling, we couldn’t play because that person wouldn’t want to drain their whole battery for it. I have no idea if that was specific to the developer of that one game but my friend who plays a lot more games than I do said it’s just the unity engine doing that.

We're using azure dev ops and recently started leveraging their Pm tool for our requirements management.

So far, I've been impressed. It took a little time to figure out how to operate within their paradigm. Once we tackled that, I don't see is going to another solution.

For better or worse, 365 is a pretty decent suite. Integration across their stack is a little schizo at times but it works well enough.

The only Achilles heel right now is ms project. They're planning on EoL it but in true Microsoft fashion are cagey when they plan on doing it and the replacement is lack luster at best. We're switching to Wrike instead which has so far been what we want.

Telemetry is fine, it's just that under GDPR and co, it has to be opt-in; the user needs to make an informed decision on whether or not the app can collect and share telemetry.

> Part of the settlements is an NDA.

If someone is sued, that creates a court record. Even if the terms of the settlement are not disclosed, that there was a settlement is lodged in the court record, and publicly accessible. Even if court records are sealed, the existence of the case is not, and initial complaints are rarely sealed.

In short, if suing universities because of what they're teaching is routine, you should be able to point to court cases. If you can't find them, then it's not because it's secret--secret court cases don't exist--it's because they don't exist.

Storybook is one of those projects, like Postman, that has completely lost the plot. It's unclear what objectives they are pursuing but in terms of developer experience they seem increasingly developer hostile. The CSF format is an unreadable joke and doesn't play that well with TypeScript, the number of plugins you need to do anything sane is ridiculous, and this telemetry story is a farce - open source should not skim data by default.

I remember writing a super simple wrapper around Jasmine to do the same kind of thing, and was glad when I could ditch it for Storybook many moons ago. But if I was starting a project now I would probably rawdog it again, Storybook just causes too much pain.

Is anyone aware of any similar projects that are more developer friendly?
Yes, but this doesn't seem like that usage. It's neutral on those issues.

Label.dev – Add context to GitHub issues
I have the same opinion on telemetry but I have never opted in for any tool no matter how politely they asked and also never seen any other technical person doing it either. So maybe for software developers it doesn't work if it's opt-in and opt-out is a good strategy?
Furlough has driven an enormous increase in inequality though, thus not as left-wing as it might appear on the surface.

Money was given to ordinary working people (whose outgoings, being essentials, didn't change much), and then went straight to the landlords etc (whose outgoings, being more discretionary, were massively cut during the pandemic). So everyone who hasn't significantly increased their wealth over the pandemic in nominal terms (and many did, we had rising stocks and housing prices.. during a pandemic!!) is today poorer than before.

You're possibly in a food desert and unaware. If any of your neighbors live more than a mile or two from a grocery store (not a convenience store), you are in a food desert. The definition involves being able to get to a grocery store on foot or public transit.

In my experience at mid-sized companies the decision is usually made by the development teams themselves who have a choice along a spectrum between a proprietary SAAS solution that may end up costing the company unpredictable amounts of money in the future on one end and a self-hosted open source solution that we have to trust the IT/devops folks to maintain competently on the other.

Also in my experience, the companies that were the most cost sensitive with regard to paying for dev tooling were also the ones with the weakest IT/devops support so you either end up with two good options or two bad options.

“Food stamps” is the colloquial term in the US for the part of our social security net that provides supplemental benefits for food. The actual programs are WIC, SNAP, TANF, and a few others. They generally work through payment cards these days, not printed stamps.

I’m fairly new to elixir, but the two things I liked the least were having to use asdf to get a working version of it that didn’t fight with the language server, and really the language server not being particularly smart or fleshed out. It’s not catastrophic, but there are many other languages that are much smoother. Particularly the auto-formatting leaves a lot to be desired. Thankfully these really aren’t existential problems because the language itself is so pleasant to use.
> Right: It's not the companies' fault they're engaging in deceptive and unfair business practices; they're profit-maximizing machines. They don't care about trust or know what it is.

this is an extremely dumb take, of course the people working at companies are responsible for bad dumb decisions that make their products worse.
> For myself, I can't remember a time when a mouse cost more than an hour of an IT guy's time.

This is not a sensible comparison to make. Support staff have a lot of free time. They have to, because they're support staff -- if they were always busy, then whenever a problem arose, it would be impossible to get support.

So to have the IT department playing with the mouse is unlikely to cost the company anything. If something comes in that's more important, the mouse problem will be put aside. If they have nothing better to do, they can play with the mouse.
I can come up with just as many harmful actions perpetuated by women and yet we don't have "toxic femininity". Thats the key difference.

And you try to absolve yourself from criticism by saying "I'm just overanalyzing"!
This is an incomplete question. Xitter does not exist in a vacuum. Xitter is heavily damaged. It is unclear if any moves Musk makes now can save it.

But even in the abstract, even stipulating the damage Xitter has suffered can be washed away, it is unclear if a free-to-use social network can be converted to a subscription model without a long, deep, negative cash flow interval that could readily kill it. Ask yourself if Reddit could make that transition without failing.
Awkward program that makes no sense, food stamps actively encourage you to not get a job. My sister and her husband had a 1 year old and were given food stamps, but were revoked after her husband had got a job and they told them this beforehand. People who can afford food get food stamps to buy junk food because anything but alcoholic beverages at a grocery store can be bought on food stamps, so you can quite literally get candy and energy drinks with food stamps.

> Software is so slow compared to hardware. It's embarrassing that we haven't moved not even a hundredth of what hardware has the last 30 years

I don’t understand this mentality. What, exactly, did you expect to get faster? If you run the same software on older hardware it’s going to be much slower. We’re just doing more because we can now.

From my perspective, things are pretty darn fast on modern hardware compared to what I was dealing with 5-10 years ago.

I had embedded systems builds that would take hours and hours on my local machine years ago. Now they’re done in tens of minutes on my machine that uses a relatively cheap consumer CPU. I can clean build a complete kernel in a couple minutes.

In my text editor I can do a RegEx search across large projects and get results nearly instantly! Having NVMe SSDs and high core count consumer CPUs makes amazing things possible.

Software is improving, too. Have you seen how fast the new Bun package manager is? I can pick from dozens of open source database options for different jobs that easily enable high performance, large scale operations that would have been unthinkable or required expensive enterprise software a decade ago (even with today’s hardware).

> Why get this?

If you really think nothing has improved, you might be experiencing a sort of hedonic adaptation: Every advancement gets internalized as the new baseline and you quickly forget how slow things were previously.

I remember the same thing happened when SSDs came out: They made an amazing improvement in desktop responsiveness over mechanical HDDs, but many people almost immediately forgot how slow HDDs were. It’s only when you go back and use a slow HDD-based desktop that you realize just how slow things were in the past.

Open Source project O will cost your team X hours of time to develop expertise in managing it.

Enterprise product E will cost your team X hours of time to develop expertise.

O requires install time. E either requires install time or integration time.

When O breaks, it is likely that the community has already seen this problem and can provide suggestions via docs, mailing list archives, discussion fora, blogs... Your team's expertise will increase. If your problem is interesting, the developers will likely get involved.

When E breaks, you will open a ticket. Within 24 hours, someone from the E company will try to diagnose your problem, going down a flowchart that they will not share with you. If your problem is in the FAQ or flowchart, it will get solved within a week, probably. If your problem is interesting, it may eventually be solved in a future release. Your team will spend less time working on it, but E will be broken for longer.

You will pay dollars to your team to support O, which will make them happier.

You will pay dollars to the E company to support E, which will make them happier.
