Microsoft: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance."

Palm: “We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” Colligan said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in.”

RIM: "in terms of a sort of a sea-change for BlackBerry, I would think that’s overstating it"

Nokia: “The development of mobile phones will be similar in PCs. Even with the Mac, Apple has attracted much attention at first, but they have still remained a niche manufacturer. That will be in mobile phones as well”

Anyone recommend some good books on this topic?
This here. If you follow Prisma ORM on GitHub, some of the pain you’ll see is missing features like “whereRaw”, but really most of the pain is forcing you to use raw SQL. And even then, Prisma is extensible, so build your own solutions on top of it. Like Zenstack which creates auth/role permissions on the Prisma schema.

Way too much ORM hate here.
As mentioned elsewhere the Sackbut/sackbutt/sagbutt etc. is a predecessor to the trombone. All of these sound infinitely better than that atrocity. I know I'm supposed to be impressed at a pioneering effort and all that, but damn, modern instruments sound unbelievably good. The timbre is better than any time in history, the quality of a modern pro instrument is usually infinitely higher than on most older ones, and intonation is way easier to get right these days.

I know, I know, downvote me. But if you people had to be stuck on a desert island with a recording of that thing vs Tommy Dorse or Melba Liston or J.J. Johnson, you know which one you'd choose, and it's not the "electronic sackbut".
I don't think that applies to cash. Cash is artificially scarce. It's only kept scarce by the fact that it's illegal for anyone but the government to print it, and because printers refuse to print something if they detect a certain pattern that's present on bills. Otherwise, cash would only be worth the paper it's printed on.
I think this calls for a government funded national un-enshittification Laboratory to study the social dynamics of enshittification and develop hygiene practices. Work must be done quickly before enshittification research becomes enshittified!

Kids these days have no idea how good they have it… when I was in college, we would get a poorly drawn diagram duplexed ten times over and maybe a couple brief notes from a prof, and off we had to go and implement a B-tree, likely in a language that made it easy to blow off your foot.

These People Actually Ate a Shoe
I agree with most of the commenters that only the executives and companies can provide the needs at the bottom of the pyramid and in the current climate they are not doing so. If you keep using MHON to make the case that middle managers have to fill in the gap Maslow would say you have to at least partially fulfill the needs at the bottom of the pyramid first before the higher needs have any effect and a middle manager simply does not have the power to do so.

I love that you equated company culture to motivation at scale. That hit the nail on the head.
Parent didn’t say nobody used the device for personal actions, only that they refused to do so. Which is the only reasonable stance. Especially for well paid engineers who can trivially afford a dedicated device.

Wait.

You say "browsers have too many complex APIs, and this is bad" and then also "This browser has not enough complex APIs, and this is bad". It sounds like you would agree with Safari if they're creating less complexity into (shipping) web standards?
> that they have credibility claims to resolve.

You can argue that they don't need to resolve anything because... millions of people have given them their money already and don't seem to have a problem continuing to do so.
Could also be shit routing.

Some big ISPs here refused to locally peer with some cheaper providers, so some packets to a local data centre (5 miles away) in Toronto would round trip through Chicago and back.

No, they're both sex characteristics. It's just that there are individuals with sex chromosome aneuploidies who will develop a female phenotype, e.g. X0 (Turner syndrome) and XXX (trisomy X), and also XY individuals where the Y chromosome is deficient in specific ways, e.g. Swyer syndrome.

You could have said the exactly same thing about Madoff, right up until the music stopped. That's really not sufficient, and it becomes less sufficient with each dollar they claim to add to the top of this pile. The bigger the pile the higher standard we should hold them to, not lower, because they get progressively more systemically important.

> Do you mean people are offering build / host services for small biz, and leaving their servers in such a state they can be owned and used as jump points for intrusion?

Probably not what's happening.

I've tried to build a cloud CI service a while ago. Per their nature, you _have to_ allow arbitrary commands to be run. And you also have to allow outbound connectivity. So you don't need to 'own' anything in order to be dangerous. They will not run with heightened privileges but that's of little help if the target is external.

It is pretty difficult to reliably secure them against being used as a source of attacks as there's a lot you can do that will mimic legitimate traffic. Sure, you can block connections to things like IRC and you can throttle or flag some suspicious traffic. You can't really prevent HTTPS requests from going out. Heck, even SSH is pretty much required if you are allowing access to git.

Generally speaking, a build service provider will try to harden their own services and sandbox anything that is run in order to protect themselves from being compromised. Most providers won't want to be known as a major source of malicious activity, so there's some effort there. AWS and other large providers have more resources and will easily ban your ass, but that doesn't matter if it happens after a successful attack was launched.

That's one theory. Another is that people just have a finite amount of emotion they can spend worrying about something before they go back to their lives. Even if objectively there is still something worth worrying about.
Obesity in the U.S. Has Grown and What to Do About It
The FSB might have had more means to convince Assange, than just money. But from what I remember with a interview with him, he seemed to entrench himself with the narrative that the US as superpower number 1, is the evil empire number 1 ( he has a anarchist, anti state background). So blinded by fanatism would be my assumption. So blinded, that he does not mind the open power abuse by those new allies. It is a phenomen, I often witnessed. More so now, with the various alternative rebells, against globalisation, power abuse etc. - and then finding all sorts of wild justifications for Putins Invasion in Ukraine. Black and white thinking, combined with double think, in all its glory.

The new scrollbar styling properties are actually pretty consistent with native platforms. There's not that much flexibility with them - e.g. you can't define width in pixels, you just chose between thick, thin, or none, which match the existing native controls:

https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/133#iss...

> I despise squashs. It encourages people to tread git commit as a glorified ^S of their work.

I can’t imagine working with git any other way. Do you hold off committing because you haven’t collected your thoughts enough to craft a good message? What if your editor crashes and you lose your undo history? How do you get back to the last state where the code compiled? If some plan of attack doesn’t work, you just… reset hard and lose it forever?

I can’t count the number of times I’ve done something like the following:

- Try approach A

- Approach A sucks, commit what I’ve done so far, try approach B

- B sucks too, commit again and switch back to A (oh hey, there it is in my reflog!)

- Turns out I need a combination of A and B. Oh hey, a simple git diff shows me the deltas. Awesome!

- Repeat

- Once I’m ready to make the PR, I squash it all, craft a thoughtful, meaningful commit message, look at the commit as if I’m a reviewer, verify it all makes sense in context as a single commit.

(oh and by the end, the commit may be a SINGLE CHARACTER! Precisely what the author of this article is talking about! Is it your contention that every dead-end the author hit should have a permanent place in the repo’s commit history, forever?)

In your world, do you just… not use git at all here? Do you never try approach until you’re sure it’s the right one? You only commit when you have something you want someone else to see? That’s nuts to me. You’re absolutely missing out on some of the best workflow git has to offer.

I mean, I get what you are saying I think... but was is the practical difference between "you can put me in a place where I become demotivated" and "you can't demotivate me"?

The whole industry of coaching seemingly contradicts this take. I can become motivated from someone sharing a vision of what is possible that I didn't understand or believe in, and I can become unmotivated from eating dinner from watching a documentary on the food industry.
This all makes perfect sense - but just seems like your employer is too large to be effective, they're not offering you the right tools/you're not demanding them, and you're in an abusive relationship with them - probably because they pay you well enough.
