I got this (in the API playground, but still against Chat GPT 4):

If you're skilled/smart/whatever you're gonna be fine, usually, so let's discount those and set them aside.

There's definitely a cohort of "moderately capable at plugging away" type developer that can successfully come out of a bootcamp, and it's usually something like this path:

bootcamp - headhunter agency that needs bodies - develop familiarity/skill with the toolset - hired directly via some other company.

Less "startup valley next great thing" and more "updating the Java application for a change in the tax code this year" style corporate programming (which is the vast majority of all programming).
I like my phone experience to be simple and intuitive. It really lends itself to a walled approach. I'm out doing something else, and the phone is along for the ride.

On desktop, I have a keyboard, a big screen, and more time. I'm sitting down to work on the computer, so having to pay more attention to it is completely fine (for nerds like me). So the walled garden approach feels more restrictive than empowering in this context, at least for me.
Yeah, I thought it was about this old project for a while. Curious why the author started something new, the goals seem very similar.
4k is trivial, 5k is impossible, your link is about 4k.
I'm interested in this as well.

There is anecdotal evidence that allowing side loading and 3rd party app stores makes the ecosystem less secure and makes it more difficult to respond to threats (volume of android infections vs. iOS, as well as case-by-case analysis of specific malware that is done by security companies), but I've never seen a more comprehensive review of HOW malware gets installed on devices (vectors), to be able to quantify the impact of closed vs. open app loading.

Anyone seen an actual decent review of this?
> Big red flag is there is a daily all hands standup

Something I've seen for the first time at my current project is instead of a daily standup, there's a daily thread to report what you've been doing in Slack instead. And then as long as there's nothing people want to go over, the actual standup meeting is skipped. We sometimes go a 2-3 weeks without an actual stand up call. It's pretty nice. Even if not, the calls are only scheduled twice a week anyway.

Much better than the 20 person in-person daily standups in the conference room, better get there early if you want to have a chair, at 8:15am every day, like a previous job.
> Looks so logical that I don't understand why WAL mode was not implemented like this from the get go. Probably an optimization wrongly dismissed as premature?

While it has advantages, it is also more code so more possible places to hide, and other disadvantages hence it doesn't completely deprecate the other WAL mode.

Also the advantages might not have been as commonly cared about in sqlite in earlier times, but it is being used in more & more places and sometimes at larger scales or with more significant concurrency needs, and the core has been pretty darn stable for quite some time, all of which factors change the dynamics of what is worth committing the dev/testing time to in terms of usefulness to the end users.
i’m curious. Can you share what you asked chatgpt and what its answer was?
Doesn't even have to be hot, it just has to be hotter than the air above ground, and relatively humid (how much depends on the temperature difference). You can also see rivers steam when it gets very cold, and they're often only a few degrees above freezing at that point.
Most of the damage was already done during acquisition process (simply based on Broadcom's reputation). There simply isn't any incentive to deviate from the original plan to milk the customers.
I used one of their 20% off coupons for a Simplehuman bin a while back (one of the ones with recycling on the left and trash on the right).

Having said that, I don't think they actually take coupons any more. It stopped when all the physical stores closed. The offer here is a cash back offer, where you pay the full price then another company (like TopCashback, Rakuten, apparently Microsoft too) gives you 10% cash back.
Apple probably will be able to continue to charge 99$/year for their developer kit.

No one is forcing me except there's no other place on the internet to find educational content about some of my hobbies. I don't have a choice to go somewhere else to watch them and learn (and for some, not even read, it's mostly in video tutorial form); they are exclusively on YouTube because there's no other place to upload them to be syndicated in a discoverable way... Give them an open standard for that and there will probably be competition so I can move away from YouTube.

You are either being extremely naive about the state of the internet in 2024, or do not use YouTube for the content I do, or are just being obtuse to try to make a point.

"No one is forcing you" is a non-sequitur, it's a thought-terminating cliche that does not work when platforms have taken over and fenced off huge parts of the internet, c'mon. I'd love to avoid YouTube if there was another option, there simply isn't.

Comparing YouTube with Hulu and BBC is... Just stupid. What do these services have in common apart from "they display videos"?

It's hyperbole and cynical to say we are "letting truckers die" and also that we "ignore that tradeoff and wash our hands of the whole issue".

Neither are true in any useful, productive sense. It's pure cynicism and myopic.
> but I fail to understand what the alternatives looks like besides Waterfall or chaos.

What I've seen pretty much my entire career (early 80's) for projects is just a straightforward process of up some front planning, phased design+dev, management of tasks through a regular (weekly or twice weekly) low overhead process (what's ready for next step, where are challenges), etc.

The key is having an experienced technical leader to guide the process. Typically, PM's don't have enough detailed technical experience to really understand how to make this stuff work.

Geekbench 6 multi-core is a single-task benchmark. It runs one task at a time, using multiple threads when possible. This makes it scale worse and favor single-core performance more than benchmarks that run multiple independent tasks in parallel.
How often does this happen? You hear about it but I don’t know anyone within 3 degrees of separation that has had this happen to them.
Thank you, valuable advice.
Kanban came from elsewhere. The word comes from post-war Japanese car factories, but the principle is older. Kanban boards were physical boards, with tokens representing various machines' or workers' availability, and the presence of things to work on. It's more a work-scheduling mechanism for known, understandable, repeatable work.

Unfortunately the same expensive money that has hit the big companies has also made it a lot harder to raise for startups. Combine that with the high-profile startups from the last bubble that turned out to be straight-up scams and I've heard that first-time founders are having a particularly hard time of it.

Additionally, an ill-conceived tax change, Section 174(b), was used to make the Trump tax cuts look revenue neutral. It then took effect when Congress blue screened after the midterms before it could repeal the change. That has made it more expensive to bootstrap software companies and _way_ more expensive to do so with remote workers, so the alternative to raising money is less viable right now.

Obviously no one knows for sure what is going to happen. But if I had to guess, we won't see as much of an increase as you might expect. Americans rely on jobs for health insurance so startups are risky not just for the programmers but also their families. Pre-A startups aren't really a substitute for a funded job that can buy health insurance with pre-tax dollars for anyone with significant experience: you usually need a spouse whose job provides healthcare, and if they're in tech too that is a precarious position right now.

What we need for a vibrant startup scene isn't just workers: it's workers + capital.

Instead, I would bet we wil see more companies in sectors of the economy that are doing well build in-house tech teams as experienced talent becomes available. Which will have the challenge that working in an established organization is nothing like a startup and working at a FAANG company with huge projects planned up-front doesn't particularly prepare developers for working at a non-tech-focused company. To stand out when going after those kinds of roles, I've been recommending that people I know who are out of work experiment with XP- or Lean Start-style techniques. Both of those methods were designed for direct customer collaboration, and will set the developers who know them apart.
I love that Apple is inconveniencing people that tries to skirt around their ecosystem built to protect them.
Really? It doesn't seem to me like it gets any more trivial than 'hit DNS for the domain to find federation server, send a GET request' to me. You could even do the whole thing with DNS, though that has privacy implications. What am I missing?
If it makes you feel better, past one job or so out of whatever training/college, nobody actually cares, except perhaps the HR automatic resume sorter.
It would be interesting to attempt an analogy between software development processes and parallel computations. Let's analyze which job tasks are atomic, parallelized, depend on read or write operations with common shared data, and the costs associated with setting up new job tasks.

It is likely that we would discover that the majority of programming tasks are not parallelized and are costly to set up, especially if frequently switched between job workers. This is because programmers need to delve into the problem domain, the existing code base, the API, and various other factors before commencing an actual task implementation.

Assuming that task workers are fully fault-tolerant ("no bus factor"), the optimal design would involve dividing the code base into loosely coupled modules, possibly organized into a hierarchy, with each module's management entrusted to a single worker (programmer). To mitigate the fault factor, we might have substitutional task workers dedicated to critical modules.

Regarding other task types, such as manual testing, these are usually less expensive to set up, do not require write access to the code base, and can be efficiently implemented by worker groups not bound to specific code modules.

This approach should be scalable and could effectively contribute to product quality. However, it necessitates the business being run and owned by programmers, and more crucially, earning revenue directly from end users who value product quality—a major success factor for the business.

There are successful examples of businesses following this model, including many indie game development studios and some software product businesses. The scarcity of such examples in the broader business community is attributed to the fact that the majority of funds today come from large corporations and ultimately from governments. This system undermines the free market, impacting everything in software development, from product quality to development methodologies.
I drive on Texas toll roads quite often. I don't follow how they take the tax revenue away. While there definitely has been failed projects but I am curious if this method of infrarstructure takes money out of the tax coffers? A private business foots a massive infrarstructure bill with its own risks with and turns over the road after N number of years. Has anyone run the math to see if these projects are net winners/losers for the state?
It's a cost thing. Prices for energy have been so cheap that investing in recapture capex didn't make sense. With energy prices going up, it does make sense.

A funny anecdote (or sad?), after gas prices spiked in much of Europe due to the war many manufacturing facilities were looking to cut energy use, they found a lot of waste. Many places were able to reduce their gas usage by as much as ~33% if I recall correctly.

I can't find the original source, but here's [1] one that claims 23% lower consumption across Germany in 2022 adjusted for temperature.

Definitely broken, buffer under-runs?
First, don't tell others how to post. You're not the arbiter of discussions. Posts like yours are themselves ad hominem attacks and attempts to deflect from engaging substantively in the discussion by appealing to some moral high ground that you think you occupy. You are not your karma score.

Second, you can't even articulate what my argument is (how do I know that you can't even articulate what my argument is? because I haven't made one, all I've done is ask for more information about yours), so how can you call it weak?

Third, you still haven't answered my original question: what is the last company to receive a bailout under your definition? More broadly, you haven't articulated what a bailout even is. It's telling that you haven't: you're not interested in a discussion, you're interested in making a political statement.
Not everything is zero sum. The important element is not whether or not it is mutually beneficial to the companies, but whether it is detrimental to some other party.

Price fixing, wage suppression, monopolizing etc are all detrimental to the customer, employees, or other businesses, but it is possible to collaborate or “cease competition” in certain areas for mutual benefit in ways that are not detrimental (and in fact, are also beneficial) to others.
> As a business owner, it makes me want to pull my hair out.

My thought is that it's long since an employee got rewarded based on output or their work done. They (we) get rewarded for having their butt in their seat for 8 hours a day, no matter how they spend that time.

If me using AI tools to do my work more efficiently actually meant that I could go home from work two hours earlier, I would be all over it. If using it however means I need to do more stuff and the owner reaps all the rewards.. I'm not gonna bother.

I might have agreed with you if Apple was a good gardener. That would involve weeding out the scams in the app store, giving developers feedback on radars, and being more communicative and reasonable in app review.

> They reduced the number of people in C-suite who had STEM background until they didn't know how to make big technical decisions, or allocate money for R&D and production.

This is not on its face a bad thing, however if you're in the C-suite of an engineering company and you're not an engineer, you should probably have engineers close by that you trust, and listen to them. It's as bad for the business to have engineers put into the finance office with no finance expertise as it is to have accountants run an engineering firm with no engineering expertise available.

Not really sure specifically, but the comments in that thread are comical.

"Others apps will stay outside to avoid Apple review process. Bugs and deliberate surveillance will run rampant. "

Yup, exactly, but...only to people that choose to actively use these other app stores. If these secondary app stores do not attempt to verify and defend against malicious apps, then they will hopefully be branded as such. For those that choose to continue using them, I have a very tiny violin here ready to play a song of sympathy.
What surprise crashing are you referencing to? Crashes can be investigated in theory but Valve sends crash reports to their servers instead of storing them on disk. It's harder to analysis if you didn't catch a crash live with a debugger attached. And that is hard because of their Anti-Cheat (VAC) though not impossible (disable VAC).
iOS and Android are fairly different platforms. There's a lot that works with one but not the other.
It doesn't need to explicitly mention commissions, law is not an ACL. The regulators and DMA just need to consider that it qualifies as e.g. gatekeeping, which is centrally referenced. Even if it can't be defined as a required action of gatekeeping today the DMA allows for the commission to quickly update that to qualify and require action by Apple. If, by some miracle, the regulators truly made a law which doesn't allow them to regulate the anti-competitiveness they intended too and they are truly beat by some gotcha this time then Apple has only bought a delay not an exception.

$99/year for the development kit will probably be seen as reasonable enough for it to be allowed, though they may have to accept allowing 3rd party alternative solutions to publish things to these other app stores or similar. The fixed price of the development kit isn't really the point when talking about the 30% commission though. That's about revenue from consumer purchases and trying to evade that via moving the pricing to the dev kit wholly then requiring the dev kit will not fly just because the DMA doesn't explicitly reference doing that being an example of a bad gatekeeping action.

> I'm not sure that's justified, at all. The domains are harder to experiment in - so the standards are more fitting for their domain.

Not taking sides here, but I want to point out that there is a distinction between rigor in reasoning and diligence in testing (given feasibility constraints). The true answer need not be in the space of hypotheses that's feasible to test [1]. It's crucial that scientists appreciate that; sloppy reasoning tends to make strong conclusions from weak tests because there's a desire (bias) to emphatically drive outcomes even from weak conclusions.

This article is the British upper class blaming a foreign software contractor for what was purely a result of the utter contempt that the upper class has for ordinary people in the UK. Repeatedly and callously convicting innocent people without ever finding a single cent that was allegedly stolen is reflective of the deep indifference the ruling class of that nation has for people unfortunate enough to not have been born to a politically connected family. This is such an alien concept to Americans it can be difficult to explain British class dynamics to someone unfamiliar with their cultural attitudes.
Throwing up your hands and saying “but I never even said that” 6 replies deep into debating a particular point is certainly… a socratic technique.

And you’re back to conflating illegal and legal immigration. I’ve never argued nobody is against illegal immigration, far from it.

To your point about media lies, the Left’s are less obvious yes, but that makes them much tricker to deal with. The Left will first convince you 3 and 4 are effectively the same, tell you 2+2 is pretty much 3, then have you laugh at the Right for being so far off base from reality when they say it’s 5. You can show someone on the Right a calculator and they’ll see they were mistaken, you show someone on the Left the calculator and they’ll tell you you’re in the wrong for thinking the difference between the answers matters. See: legal vs illegal immigration, “The Science” of COVID, approaches to crime, etc.
You are apparently in the UK, but the job market in the U.S. has similarly been very spooky lately. I was laid off and have received almost no interviews outside of a single previous employer. My resume was flat out rejected, even from places that I had previously worked or was made an offer from as little as a year or two ago. It was really weird. As in, previous contacts would not even reply to emails or LinkedIn messages. I felt the same thing, thinking things like if I insulted someone's dog or something. I even got contacted by a former company asking if I'd be interested in coming back, and then when I responded, they responded with a flat "we don't see a fit". Just purely bizarre.

I am finding that more and more people are looking for extremely specific and narrow experience. Like, if you haven't used <x> technology and worked in <y> domain, they don't want to even speak to you. They'd almost rather higher a new grad who happened to work in <x> than someone with experience in many languages and domains. It's really weird. I've been thinking a lot about how to make my own path, because it's exhausting trying to apply and work for myopic places.

>If you get ill or injured in the us you could be more than the $20K in debt for hospital bills

If you're on a visa and you lose your job and thus your health insurance, you're probably going back to your home country anyways. I wouldn't worry about medical debt then, they can't pursue you across international lines. Send the hospital AP department an email saying 'hi I'm no longer in the US, I'm in HomeCountry for the foreseeable future' and they're just going to write off the debt and call it a day. Medical debts don't cross national borders
