The answer might be in the article already. The proportion of manufacturing that is in industries like construction has increased versus heavy industry, semiconductors, auto-manufacturing etc. The reasons for a decline in productivity in those industries seems pretty clear. If you have to build anything in NYC or any big city, your people are going to spend a lot of time standing around waiting for things to happen. When you can't put a hole in the ground without significant paperwork, is it any surprise that it's hard to drive productivity increases?

The obvious contrast is Tesla. The level of productivity with which model 3s are built now is clearly a vast improvement over where it was and the improvements (single casting for e.g.) keep coming. As long as US / UK and EU manufacturing continues to substitute making things in factories for making them in the street, and heavy industry for light industry, it's hardly a surprise that productivity overall is going nowhere.

> DHTML (dynamic HTML, basically what any web app is today)

No, DHTML meant little snippets that you could add to your page to add effects and widgets, whether arguably useful things like button rollover (many of you will remember the incantation I think it was Adobe Fireworks produced, something along the lines of <img src="button1.jpg" onmouseover="MM_something('button1_rollover.jpg')" onmouseout="MM_something('button1.jpg')">) or widgets like a “scroll to top” link in the bottom right corner that only appeared when you had scrolled down some way, or ridiculous things like drawing an analogue clock around the mouse cursor that followed your movement but as though the digits were connected by pieces of elastic each to the next, or snowflakes falling down the screen. Browse http://www.dynamicdrive.com/, that was DHTML. DHTML mostly meant fripperies, but did definitely include useful functionality like calendar widgets. But that was the scope of it: isolated things here and there that you could add to an existing page.

Web apps today are a whole-page affair, where the scripting is woven through the entire thing; they’re essentially unrecognisably different from DHTML.

All encrypted communication protocols have this requirement. And all of them will in the future. By definition, you need the counterparty to be able to decrypt your message, which means you're always vulnerable to them forwarding the unencrypted message to anyone they want.

Honestly want to know how many people here use Emacs like this? I thought Emacs users live their lives in Emacs. I know people who move more and more of their workflows into Emacs with packages like vterm, EAT, lsp-mode, pdf-tools, etc.

Are there seriously Emacs users who only a "bit of an emacs user". What is your workflow like? How do you decide when to use Emacs and when to use other tools? VSCode and Emacs have a lot of overlap in their purpose. How does this switching in and out of tools that overlap in their purpose feel?

Let's compare this to windows

If I want to install an app, it might be on the windows store. If it's not then you'll probably have to download it from the internet. If you're lucky it's a link on the developers website, if you're unlucky it's a download from a 3rd party site like softpedia, github or sourceforge, and you have to spend at least a little time making sure you're downloading the official package and not a scam.

If you want to offload this to a 3rd party you can use chocolately. Or scoop. Or winget.

There are lots of developer tools that only distribute via the software packager that they're built in, ie cargo, npm, or pip.

Or I want to download a game, well let's see, that game might be distributed on steam. Or the Epic Games Store. Or Origin.

I'm just trying to highlight that this issue is not specific to Linux or Windows (I've never used a mac so I don't know how that compares), app distribution is just a hard and still unsolved problem. Personally, between my distributions official repo, flatpak and steam, I'm pretty happy that 90% of software I need is only a few clicks away with minimal hassle.

I was a "contractor" from an in practice body shop consult agency, not an actual contractor. I did every day office work for three years, being part of a normal work group going to every day meetings etc.

But I don't think that matters. If you have an actual consultant in the office, being there once a month, you give him strawberries too, if you hand out strawberries.

Also, the pay was somewhat lower. I was fresh out of uni so I didn't know better.

Notably, only bosses two layers up thought it was a good idea to skimp on the strawberries etc. The bosses that had to deal with the ensuing bad mood ensured there was no such distinction between FTEs and "contractors".

Same for images inline, and the idea of attachments was an add-on. Other examples abound.

While I don't use html in my emails, it's effectively a standard now. So much so, that I have to prod some corporations to fix their stuff.

My point is, the "email was never meant" ship sailed decades ago. Change happens.

And there is no way to encrypt anything, ever, and send it to someone, who can't see it, and then copy it and send to others. A person can take a screen shot, or just take a phone and take a pic of the screen! So even if it's not simple, this problem is a non-solve, because if a human can read it, it can be copied to others.

Which means, I do not believe your criticism on this point is valid.
I am a touch typist since 30 years. I don't feel like I am thinking while I am typing. Typing happens automatically. Much like it works for musicians with sufficient practice. After a certain point, things become automatic, and you no longer consciously think about each and every key you press.
An important thing to realise is that "static typing" isn't just one thing. The details matter. For instance, type inference is a huge deal in making static typing not painful. Local type inference is something that pretty much all modern languages have adopted, since it makes writing out function bodies much less painful. But I think a lot of static typings bad rep comes from older languages that required lengthy annotations everywhere.

Then you of course have global inference, where you can write code as tersely as in a dynamic language, but still benefit from type checking and add annotations later as a form of documentation for readers.

It also changes the way you code. The best experiences from static typing come IMO from doing type-driven development, where you sketch out your problem first at the type level, then fill out the implementation at the value level. In dynamic languages, you can't program like that. So if you use the same mindset you will find the language limiting.
I guess the relevant question would then be how many of those games are actually developed using Metal directly, and not some other API using Metal “behind the scenes”. Relevant in regards to developer acceptance I mean.

This sounds like an absolute nightmare and I see stories like this very frequently. Is this the "normal" experience of working at FAANG in 2023, and how long has it been like that? I have never worked for (or been tempted to apply to) any business remotely approaching that scale (currently in largest ever company, 3-400 employees total, only because my previous much smaller company was acquired) and I can't really understand why anybody would ever want to.

Surely the delta in terms of earnings at FAANG vs literally anywhere else is not worth this kind of horror – can anybody explain? Or do people just not find out until it's too late?

Money matters (when you are planning your vacations, when you get seriously ill, when you want to buy a new house/car/laptop), etc. Only naive people say that money don't matter. There are MANY things that matter, money is one of them.

I suspect a lot of this is selection bias: the Emacs discussion you see online is often coming from fanatics rather than people who use Emacs without blogging about it.
I suspect that you might be right about using LiveView for things that are traditionally full, rich client side JS apps.

However, it is absolutely awesome for the "slightly javascript" case of a lot of UIs. Two examples, from my work:

Forms with "live" display of validation errors, using one single set of validation on the backend, rather than the duplicated frontend and backend having to match. It's completely trivial to implement with LiveView.

Status displays - We built some development hardware based on a Xilinx Zynq FPGA (FPGA + ARM running Linux) and used LiveView to report a lot of the hardware state - primarily the status of all of the registers. A little fiddling with HTML+CSS for the register widget, but then everything else could not have been easier - render your widget once per register, and rerun that whole thing any time pubsub provides an updated register value.
Michael Collins—who was bumped from Apollo 8 due to a medical issue and of course ended up flying Apollo 11 instead—became increasingly convinced with time that it was Apollo 8, more so than 11, that represented the true landmark in human history.

Apollo 11 was when we first arrived somewhere new, yes, but it was Apollo 8 when we first dared to venture out into the dark. For the first time we surrendered the ability to quickly return to Earth in a matter of minutes or low-single-digit hours.

Collins’ autobiography Carrying the Fire is easily the best of the astronaut memoirs, and is written purely by Collins without a ghostwriter. It wasn’t one of the talents NASA was looking for, but I’m glad they sent an excellent writer to the moon.

I can only speculate.

But I think that beyond a certain level management probably doesn't have a clear idea of how long things should take. If they've worked in a company for 20 years, and have always been told that creating a corporate website requires a team of 20 people for 2 years, they'll just assume that's the way it is? I mean you may argue it is their job to know such things, and that might be right, but maybe they're just not competent and their managers aren't competent either?

Or maybe they don't really care as it's not their money?

Or maybe it really doesn't matter and there is higher-impact stuff for that level of manager to focus on? I mean if the company is making $100m a year and they can do something that will drive a 10% increase in that, would foregoing that activity to reduce spending on a website down from $1m be the right call?

> control prefix as a thumb key,

I read that and found it to be not relevant to non-tech-savvy users. Well the problem is how do you really make them alter their keyboard so that control prefix is now a thumb key without sacrificing something else?

Like in the settings I pulled up in the other comment, I could ask them to make their Command or Option as Ctrl. But after doing that, they lose some other key (command or option) from the thumb key which is important too. Both command and option are important and frequent enough to be thumb keys. There is no clear winner about which key should go here.

> or modal key sequencers instead is key combos

Like which ones exactly? Can you name some names? Do you mean like Evil or god-mode? There's a lot of choices there and I know users who use one or the other. But many don't like to change the modeless editing to modal editing such packages invariable force upon you.

Much better is to just enable sticky keys which all major OS seem to be support. But again not everyone likes them. Who am I to tell them otherwise if they have tried both and prefer CapsLock as Control more than sticky keys?

***

Like I said earlier the real travesty is the wastage of real estate with the CapsLock key. The stock keyboards come with this travesty. I see anything that changes that as improvement even if it is making CapsLock to be Ctrl and using pinky sideways.

Making CapsLock as Ctrl is the least invasive choice for them. I'm not surprised that most people do this. I'm genuinely surprised that you would go as far as proclaiming this to be universally bad.

> What do you mean with "like a real mail-filter"?

I mean receive mails from a mail-server (pop3, IMAP, Gmail, exchange, etc.), filter according to user-specific criteria and output on slack. This might even give some additional value by having maintained filters, if you can get your hand on enough for your customer's relevant mails. And it would give opportunity to shrink the privacy-problem, as people could use dedicated mailboxes for such mails.

And you could even reuse the filters+interface for all other sources too. Like maybe, they only want to see certain releases, or for a specific app.

> Any other type of APIs you'd like to see this tool covering? :)

That's a problematic question. There are too many apps and APIs. You could focus on the common tools, like issue-trackers (Jira, etc.), error-trackers (sentry, etc.), maybe Slack itself? But instead of just adding APIs, the actual value for your customers might be to add unique use cases which pushes your tool above the existing workflows. Adding statistic and appeal to rejections seems worthful on surface. But you should be aware that you are competing with others tools, like Zappier or a simple mail-clients, and you likely have not enough manpower to beat them on their ground. So you may better focus on quality and additional value for your customers, and communicate this very very well.
