> Low code tools have a strong focus on initial productivity gain. But a continuous fast changing business context with changing requirements requires an approach and toolset that is suited for giving long term productivity benefits.

The best "low code" tools absolutely meet this requirement and best of all, don't _feel_ like programming to the users. Spreadsheets are the most obvious example.
Temperature can be measured in different ways. IR radiation and sound can be measured from a distance. The relationship between temperature at the source, of the water exiting the showerhead and time can be learned. Water can be heated in different ways. The valve could also be a pump. Our reaction to the temperature of the water can be sensed.

Yup I'm the same. I'm horrified at how my skin feels covered in chalk dust.

Chalk feels like it made sense in a time back when people didn't bathe daily and didn't know about deodorant. When the words "skin care" were decades away from being uttered for the first time. The fact that chalk is white-colored doesn't make it any less dirty or filthy.

It doesn't feel like it belongs in the twenty-first century, not in civilized places like lecture halls or meeting rooms.

That's what OP's point was, that you were responding to. They were saying that privacy is always a reductive argument; your response is that paying for things makes you feel safe. That feels more like you're addressing your own insecurity instead of what the commenter actually wrote.

> If you don't think that all ads are bad... then I think you may agree that sometimes, ad targeting produces more useful ads.

No. The most ad targeting that should ever exist is by geography, and that's it.

Advertising has value in letting people know about your product. If you're selling locally, you rent a billboard on some street crossing, or a banner at a mall, or you buy a sponsorship at a local event because you think your target demographic will be there. At a demographic level, not individuals.

On the Internet, geography translates to maybe using zipcode from an IP address, and demographics translates to choosing which websites ("publishers") to put ads on.

And that should be it, that's fair and should get you enough bang for your buck.

Putting cameras in people's homes, listening to their conversations, following them around in their cars, stalking their relationships, tracking their voting records, etc should not be an acceptable way of increasing the efficiency of the targeting.

Of course you would make more money with this kind of spying (as what happens today). But this kind of invasion has great societal costs to privacy, and subsequently to freedoms, and should never be justifiable.

> Regulation is not the free market’s job, as you evidently believe

Innovation is. The European Union was not founded to build a better Nuclear Reactor (nor would it tangibly impact their citizen's freedom). Regulating the market those citizens participate in does. I'm not so sure why you're complaining about this so much. If Apple's self-righteous crusade to own all digital IP was truly worth it, they could abandon Europe and continue on. But it's not- for one because they value money, and for two because they already work with FIVE-EYES and every domestic European nation to surveil on their users.

I'd recommend using the Yubikey as a GPG smartcard[1]. The private key stays on the Yubikey. I also use it for ssh. But make sure you have a backup key or two, just in case the primary Yubikey gives out. FIDO2 and all other regular Yubikey functionality still work with it.

This is all imo, but in a company you have three interests that are important:

- The company

- The employees

- The shareholders

We currently only recognize two of those things. The board has duties to care, obedience, and loyalty which somewhat represents the interests of share holders but also somewhat represents the interests of the business, which also somewhat represents their own interests. The CEO has self-interest in the form of performance compensation, preservation of the business, and obedience is highly debatable as CEOs are very rarely held to any degree of accountability. Instead the company absorbs the bad actions of the CEO while the CEO inherits all of the reward.

That's a long way of saying, we should restructure the interest groups that have an equal say in running a modern publicly held business. A caveat being that none of those bodies should be a single person or have beyond two overlapping interests.

The auto industry with the UAW involved is doomed. They were booing Biden the other day because they don't want the move to electric vehicles. The reason? Electric cars need less people on the assembly line, so people will be out of work.

Likewise, but I think it depends on how people like to spend their spare time. I love being able to go on a road trip or camping trip, and 3-day weekends open up an entirely new world of possibility for a weekend trip.

For people that use the time to do errands, I suspect mid-week is better. I do wish we could settle on weekends though because the errands can be easily done on Friday or Tuesday or whatever, whereas a weekend trip cannot.

They are definitely going to scrutinize the marriage. I don't know if it'll be as intense but I don't see why it wouldn't be.

> Wealth is only produced when people work.

This is a little simplistic.

Say a farmer can grow 20 bushels of wheat in a year. A farmer with a tractor can grow 200 bushels.

Does the guy who invented the tractor work as hard as the farmer? Probably not. But they (arguably) created much more wealth.

What about the banker who provided financing for the tractor? Let's assume it's a totally fair financial service, no need to stipulate anything predatory. The banker didn't work very much compared to the farmer at all, just wrote down some ledger entries. Yet without him, farmer is tractorless.

Any full view of the economy has to account for services and invention (and many more things, these are just illustrative examples.)

> Low-code enables domain experts to become citizen developers.

I have yet to see a single "citizen developer" successfully building stuff using low-code/no-code solutions.*

> At the same time, low-code platforms should also strive to make pro-developers (professionals with an education or career in software development) more productive.

This is mostly what I see.

Occasionally, I see real developers sticking with the low-code/no-code solutions far beyond what it should ever be used for, to the detriment of the product.

What I do see a lot of is people with a long history in the business aspect being brought in as program managers, QA testers, UI designers, etc. They are generally very successful in those areas.

*VB6 and Visual FoxPro I have seen business people building production apps with. You may not consider those to be "real" low-code/no-code solutions, but... I've seen business people teaching themselves those to build their own stuff.

> Social media and other services where the information is an important part of the service or software that can not be run on my own machine due to limits in my hardware.

I mean, fediverse sites like Mastodon or Lemmy, or even something like PeerTube show that it's possible to at least run instances of a larger federated service, albeit the user experience could be better (the average person asking "What do you mean, I have to pick a server to join?").

Admittedly, video hosting is the hardest due to space and bandwidth requirements, though perhaps the real reason why none of these platforms see real widespread success is the network effect - most people already are pretty comfortably in popular walled gardens and don't feel like they want to switch to anything else.

There's a neighborhood pharmacy nearby, part of a tiny local chain. I was there recently and another customer recognized the pharmacist - "Didn't you used to work at CVS?" She did indeed and said she couldn't take it so she switched to the local chain.

> French and English are languages were you can't be sure of the pronunciation of a word you've never seen.

English yes of course, but French pronunciation is very regular and only a few loanwords don't follow the rules. "Antienne" is regular and pronounced the same way all other -tienne words are as far as I know (like, say, Étienne). The most difficult rules to master though are those that take into account the origin of a word (Latin, Greek or a Germanic language), especially for how to pronounce "ch", but these are essentially loanwords.

The reverse is not true though, there are many different potential ways to write a word that produce the same pronunciation.

> If you have an internal chat app that never logs messages -- say, the sender looks up the recipient's IP address on the VPN and connects to them directly -- then a court can't order you to write new code to enable logging.

No, they absolutely can. You may be confusing this with various first amendment cases about compelled speech, given the focus on a court ordering code authorship. A regulator does not have to concern themselves with the mechanism of storage, they can simply designate communications as requiring storage. And they have done so in the case of electronic transmissions. The relevant law allows regulators to compel retention of written communications. Storing a communication in memory and sending it over the network to the memory of another computer for display is by itself sufficient to qualify as a written communication.

“Effective” is hand waiving. Consider this scenario.

Maybe you have 2 A students (metaphors for workers) and 4 C students remote. The A students are effective regardless of attendance. But the C students actually become B students when attendance is forced.

You might argue C students should be replaced but you might still end up with C students a year later because hiring is hard.

Given this dynamic it’s obvious why one would be motivated to require attendance.

This is just a thought experiment but I think it shows how blame could be pointed at many different places. For example why couldn’t attendance be required only for lower performers? Etc.
