If you have the means, get a computer science degree at a reasonable school, and don't listen to people telling it's too late, and that ML is your meal ticket. We have two kinds of jobs here in the valley, the glamorous and competitive, and the really challenging and necessary. The latter are more immune to hype cycles and economic downturns. If you do something along the lines of networking/security, cloud infrastructure, and learn something that confuses other people, say, how to use OAuth2 properly as an example, you will be able to work on the infra side in almost any company. Once you get your foot in the door, then you can learn the latest hottest fad wherever it is that you are, on the job. Infrastructure is the computer industry version of cleaning out the stables for the horses, but it's also necessary everywhere and once you prove yourself and show you are capable of learning on the job, you can work on other stuff. If you start to enjoy infra stuff, you can work anywhere. Don't get stuck doing any kind of process though, don't be the compliance guy, for example.

The biggest shortage in silicon valley is that of capable minds and hands. It's on you to make yourself marketable, but once that's done, there's tons of opportunity. I've been working here since 1996. I'm a grey haired old timer now, and I've seen this industry from big companies, startups, boring companies, and fad companies. Get your foot in the door, the first job won't be glorious, but as you demonstrate skill, pay and rank will follow. Don't go to any of the companies staffed by lots of startup bros, because a wrinkle or some greying hair is a disadvantage there, but there are plenty of other places to start.
It's clear you haven't actually taken the time to understand what 12 factor is saying, and you're assuming that anything left unsaid is an implied permission to just screw everything up.

A more reasonable reading of 12 factor is to see that since it suggests that the output streams should be gathered up from multiple running instances of the application, and collated together in a system like splunk, that it behooves you as a 12 factor app developer to build your app such that your output stream is amenable to that approach.

I.e., that your output is a stream of structured serialized data.

You haven't clarified what you think is a better practice than this.
According to an article around the time of the policy change, people were even buying cliff bars and returning the wrappers for a refund, saying "I wasn't satisfied." It wasn't just young or broke people either, the CEO said they were looking at demographics and it was all over the place, just an all around increase in abusive returns. As usual, the internet and social media is a likely culprit.

Can't have nice things, dang it.
Ehhhh it's really not that intensive.

Though it sounds like you two could do a great job at it and improve on the shortcomings of your experience easily
Honestly I want the app to just set its look exactly. I really don't care if different programs look slightly different as long as its internally consistent in app.

What I hate is installing a program that was designed for a KDE distro and because you run gnome all the icons are the same color as the background and alignments on things are whack.

Package it all up in a flatpak so it looks and works exactly the same on all distros. One complete and verified experience.
Seeing this slip through makes me worry that something more serious could slip through too, e.g., swapping "Allow" and "Deny" on some security-sensitive prompt.
I'm not a troll. What do you think is cheaper - an overpass or a foot bridge?
This was one of the biggest powers of Mac OS X, before Electron became big.

Not many companies and people developed for Mac OS X, but the ones that did pretty strongly adhered to Apple’s design guidelines, partially because it just made dev live easier and partially because your application would stick out like a sore thumb if you didn’t.

At least the global menu still lives on macOS. I’m sad Gnome 3 didn’t pilfer it from Unity.
You’re a PHP developer, I’m sure this stuff must seem very difficult to you.

It's not 'someone else'. It's whatever environment the application ends up running in.

The idea of 12 factor is to define a reasonable interface for your application. The environment doesn't need to worry about providing interfaces to logging services or collecting files from a custom directory, or making sure the application isn't going to fill the disk with log output - if the app is 12 factor, the only thing the environment needs to do is collect stdout.

As a 12 factor app, write such that what you put on stdout is useful for that purpose.

As a system hosting 12 factor apps, collect stdout and put it somewhere useful.

As a developer of a 12 factor app, when you want to see your log output, go wherever the environment puts it and look there.

That's a useful contract that works at scale. Not sure why you think it doesn't.
Makes sense to me. When it comes to national security the last thing I’d want to do is start giving data to a third party, regardless of the terms and promises made about privacy etc. You just don’t mess around with that.

Joint Statement by FSFE and SFC Regarding Eben Moglen and SFLC
Well, I interpret that as the assertion that it's more opaque than other types of programming. But I disagree and think that it is actually simpler in terms of the syntax and amount of prior understanding required. My blunt reply is that to assert that a particular example is inaccessible but then only to have dedicated 15 minutes to prove so is silly. I'm sure most people who seem to suggest that this stuff is opaque had no problem learning PCRE or complicated SQL joins and also didn't complain that it took more than 15 minutes to do so. Of course TT is a deep field and there are many complicated parts of it, but the syntax, rules and the example given are not opaque and very understandable to anyone who can tackle languages and abstraction.
If you read your link, it was removed largely because the things that used it (such as Java Web Start) had been removed, which was more because they failed in the market than because its actual security record was particularly poor.

(Yes, there were occasional sandbox escapes, but there are occasional sandbox escapes in web browsers too. Few security mechanisms are perfect)
Windows 2000 was the last truly great Windows for me. It was the last Windows version that had a working "Find in File Contents" feature without having to install grepwin.
Right on point. I don't want to play a sniper game when scrolling things. My hand was getting tired of just trying to grab a scrollbar with a mouse. I did the same thing some time ago, increased min width of GTK and Firefox scrollbars to like 32 or something, my life only got better after that.
Arguably, Snow Leopard was peak interaction design. Just for the highly functional visual grouping of elements. (MacOS has drifted off from this quite a distance, since.)

Everything old is new again? I remember when people were deriding Windows XP for being "Fisher-Price" in appearance and preferring to run Windows 2000 because it was more stable (until roughly SP2 came out, which basically was an entirely new OS released as a service pack).

Windows 7, which was Vista's equivalent to SP2 also has some fans. Heck, I'd even personally argue that Windows ME has some niceties not seen in subsequent releases, particularly when combined with Active Desktop (which I'm pretty sure did not survive the transition to XP).

I wonder if/when some subset of users will prefer a more controlled window layout engine, one which always opens windows into their own "space" on the screen. To that end, I don't actually mind how iPad does its window layout, I just wish iPad had all the features and openness of macOS to install your own drivers, background apps and virtual devices/mixing. A simpler UI can actually be a good thing, but you shouldn't lose functionality when making things simpler. A simpler UI doesn't necessarily mean less complex operating system...

Agreed. Once a file/page reaches a certain size, I find minimaps to be a mostly unintelligible blob. Maybe it'd be solved by just making it bigger, but then we push into the problems of screen real estate and what not.
I thought Windows 7 was pretty good.

Vista eliminated the Fisher Priceness of XP but added a whole bunch of glowing and reflective stuff, which Windows 7 toned down dramatically.

I don’t remember if Win 7 still allowed you to have the classic start menu, but I do believe I was ok with what it did have.
I might be getting old, too. (Born 1987.) I have also come to regard Windows XP as the pinnacle of personal computing UI. Almost everything that followed, regardless of vendor, feels like a step in the wrong direction.
That's exactly what mine showed when ASPM wasn't enabled. Before that I got at most about 9 hours doing nothing, after enabling it I got about 14 hours even doing light webbrowsing and such.

I made a Reddit post about it today, enabling it under Linux manually. Many people have been complaining about low battery life on the Elitebook 845 G10, and most people suspected missing ASPM support to be the culprit. The nice thing is, under Linux you can force it, even if the BIOS doesn't offer it. I'm still testing though, so it is pretty experimental. You can find instructions on what I did here, if you're interested: https://old.reddit.com/r/AMDLaptops/comments/16lz0oh/anyone_...

With that sort of income you should not have this level of anxiety about your options, you should have plenty in the bank to play startup with, fail, and reenter the traditional job market having learned your lesson: with padding to spare.

Id start by seriously reconsidering your finances. If you make all the money, you call all the shots, your three dependents all on a free ride need to respect that. Furthermore- “family of 4 that I support with my income alone” - barring the case that you have an infant, your partner should be pulling more weight, too. Single income households are not feasible in California without major compromise: and that major compromise is currently occurring at your expense

Coca-Cola, Nestle, and Unilever. Easy bet. Coca-Cola is already 137.
Things being "a waste of screen real estate" was a bigger issue when we only had 1024x768.

Now we have extremely high resolution monitors, and we use that to get really smooth angled lines and anti-aliasing, scaling up the visuals and decreasing the logical DPI, but the lack of a hard edge to grab doesn't get wider when the visuals are scaled up: it's still a single pixel wide.
> until roughly SP2 came out, which basically was an entirely new OS released as a service pack

SP2 was fantastic. For me personally, Windows XP means XP SP2. Anything before that wasn’t worth using.
Computers are very fast. GPUs are way faster than you think. Of course, it doesn't feel like that way since all the abstractions and layers kill performance by a thousand cuts.

Remember, "Aero" was a thing almost 20 years ago and that was a graphically intensive window renderer at that time. Nowadays we could have 50x better effects without a problem but UI designers are not willing to.

Not saying I condone it, but seeing how lifeless and sterile (no pun intended...!) most software has become, and how quick people have gotten to take offense at everything, I almost wish "spicy" stuff like this would show up more often.
Nobody's asking you to predict anything, they're asking you to leave the functional design elements of a scrollbar alone and not fuck them up. Probably if you rent an angle grinder and remove the handrails from the steps at your local library it'll look nicer, but you don't do that, because there's a good reason for those steps to have handrails.

It’s an open source ERP system. I’ve been plugging away for about 10 months, but ERP systems are soooo big.

Really I just wanted to build graph-based, stochastic production routing, but there are so many pre-requisites to good scheduling/routing. Like the people, and the parts in stock, and when the required parts will arrive. So I’m building all that first.

It’s also been pretty enjoyable to learn Remix and Supabase in the process. I can’t say enough good about them!
Oh I don't argue about art. Most of these decisions are driven by financial constraints, not the artistic vision. And this is not going to change.

Christopher Nolan can afford extreme artistic choices like not showing ads or previews before Oppenheimer. That's such a rarity that I wouldn't make any extrapolations even in today's world. Betting that gen AI will result in an alternative type of art and not just replace multiple roles and production techniques in existing industries is not something I can see happening considering that professional art is business.

E.g. we didn't see CGI creating an alternative movie industry that exists in parallel to non-CGI movies. CGI is used by everyone, including artsy independent creators.

I will forever love Studio Ghibli animation. But if in the future the same level of expression can be achieved with CGI/gen AI - I just fail to see them not switching their tools (possibly in the post-Miyazaki world).

> What's hilarious is that the execs still don't fucking see it

Why would they? Very few people can notice and appreciate the level of detail you are describing. And I am not even sure we will never be able to replicate it computationally. In 10-20... 50 years? Don't see why not.
I don’t k now why I’m being downvoted.

Because it's not a 3.7V pack, it's a 3.85V pack. I'm at like 78% state of charge and it's still 4.26V. It's obviously not a 3.7V pack.

You yourself even mentioned there were 3.6V packs on the market for a while. So if it is a 3.6V pack, a 10,000mAh pack would be 36Wh. This battery is a 3.85V 4410mAh 16.97Wh. If we ignored the voltage, 10 / 4.41 = 2.26x the energy. But 36 / 16.97 = 2.12x. If that 10,000 was the actual same 3.85V that's 38.5Wh. So with that, there's a 2.5Wh difference between what it would have been if the voltage did match. If it's a 20,000mAh pack, that becomes 5Wh of difference for a pack rated 3.6V versus one rated 3.85.

Which, as I've shown, it is rated for 3.85V. And you've even agreed, there were packs on the market with an internal pack voltage of 3.6V!

> Yeah EVs and laptop batteries use Wh because it makes sense there.

And I reiterate, why does it make sense there? Because you're going to juggle a lot of different voltages and amperages when talking charging and we're relying on charging circuits dealing with it. None of what I've been talking about was about getting a little 3.7V pouch to run a small microcontroller or whatever, I'm talking about what actual consumers will really experience in the wild. So I've got phone with a 4410mAh battery and a wall charger rated for 25W. About how long will it take to charge? Need more info! I've got a battery rated 16.97Wh and a 25W charger. Roughly how long will it take to charge? 17 / 25 = .68 so like about 45min. That's the kind of question most consumers are likely to encounter.
Seems historically similar to the 70s/80s when automakers started positioning an alternator in such a way that it required removing an axle to replace it.
Neither of those are discussion sites.

As per reddit, so take it with a grain of redd salt:

"What he doesn't want to say out loud in plain English is that agaratine containing mushrooms LIKE PORTABELLOS when consumed RAW are highly CARCINOGENIC while some compounds in white button mushrooms can help prevent and treat breast cancers agaratines can cause cancer, they are heat unstable so if cooked it's not a big risk but raw like they are served often in salads really could be causing cancer. If someone like Stamets came out and said that point blank he could be sued for making radical claims..." [0]
Its reddit though and far less hand wavy for the reddit poster to also note agaratine also degrades rapidly when stored and is only theorized to be carcinogenic, the proof of which remains to be shown.[1]

"One complete and verified experience." These words sound sickening to me. None of these have anything to do with accessibility, or respecting the user.

The user should be in control of his computer. That includes the programs on it. Locking it down so you can have "verified authentic design" is just straight-up user-hostile.
Win95 default was peak Windows UI for me. It had proper shading so you can see the window edges. Min/max/close buttons were high contrast and easy to see, and were big enough to easily click. Window titles were high contrast and clear. The UI was light and snappy unlike XP’s.

This is where I landed. A couple of years ago I sold all of my Apple Surveillance Device Minis, boxed up all of my Hugh lights, and got a remote control outlet for my bedroom light and a remote control light strip for my TV's bias lights.

I'm not sure specifically what you want to know.

I resupplied food in towns along the way. And while in town, I had a hot meal there. Also consider that resupplying is often not done in an actual town, but in a convenience store or whatever is closest to the trail.

Backpackers typically only cook dinner, and those get repetitive, so forgoing those with the added benefit of not carrying a stove, fuel, and a pot is sometimes nice. Some people find it wearisome to not have at least one hot meal a day.

Of course, I have done countless backpacking trips and have cooked on most of them.
> Is "open source strategy" purely an economic tool?

Yes, because the only thing a good company cares about is economics -- namely, money.

This is, very literally, what the Cathederal and the Bazaar was about. Exploiting people's labour. ESR (i.e. the founder of the Open Source movement) very literally made an argument in the latter half of the book that goes "You get better performance out of people when you don't pay them/pay them less").
I'd tack a few more features onto it, like multiple desktops, and give it a small face-lift to make it just a wee less ugly.

But yeah.
