Not really. Universities barely even pretend to be ‘churches of learning’ — at least anymore. Going to university, for the vast majority of students these days, is more an exercise in CV-building than self-development and learning.

I fully agree, and that is precisely why the EU is doing a great job regulating this, and they shouldn't stop and punish Apple more for their response actions.

Apple should allow other browser engines, and these should be able to leverage the OS capabilities comparable OSes are giving to their browsers.
Really interesting. Curious about one particular case -- obfuscating the values of columns which are part of a `unique` constraint.

Let's take, say, a set of a hundred thousand nine digit social security numbers, stored in a DB column that has a uniqueness constraint on it. This is a space small enough that hashing doesn't really mask anything -- there are few enough possible values that an adversary can compute hashes of all of them, and unmask hashed data. But the birthday paradox says that the RandomString transformer is highly unlikely to preserve uniqueness -- ask a genuinely random string generator to generate that many nine-digit strings, and you're extremely likely to get the same string out more than once, violating the uniqueness constraint.

One approach that I've seen to this is to assign replacement strings sequentially, in the order that the underlying data is seen -- that is, in effect, building up a dictionary of replacements over time. But that requires a transformer with mutable state, which looks kind of awkward in this framework. The best way I can see to arrange this is a `Cmd` transformer that holds the dictionary in memory. Is there a neater approach?

Yes, you can write native code badly, but it's not as easy to shoot your app with degrading performance with native tech compared to web tech.

EDIT: While VS Code is a fine app mostly. I can't really say it's performant at all when Sublime Text runs next to it.

Figma - never tried. Discord - only on web, and the same thing with VS Code.

They do care about latency, and I credit these developers for having a goal to minimize it. VS Code isn't bad but when regular Visual Studio changed its design like 10 years ago, latency and lag went through the roof.

However, the tech stack itself isn't the solution to latency. Doing an unbounded operation before responding to input will cause it, so will overusing memory and/or cache.

I use Moom, so maximizing a window without setting it to its own space is ctrl-cmd-z-space. Moom does a lot more than that, it's worth checking out, especially if you plug into external monitors as part of your workflow.

With that setup, I'm quite content with full screen putting the window in its own space. It's an affordance I use fairly frequently, in fact. Just not as often as maximizing the window within the space it already inhabits.
Blast from the past! Downloading new packs from iconfactory and seeing that lavender clamp just hit different from the windows-yellow zip archives. Never thought about it until now but maybe it was just the native colorscheme?
I did the same, but, it seems reddit has some capability to restore posts anyway, as I keep finding original posts of mine via google while my logged in profile remains blank...

It's to the point where I search for them every few weeks and take time to edit and delete them manually, after which they seem to stay gone.

My best guess is that they can detect mass deletion and have some sort of automation that restores posts at (seemingly ) random. Either that or their platform is broken enough that editing or deleting posts isn't reliably committed to disk.

Part of me thinks it could be related to our project using CocoaPods. I've always appreciated how nicely Gradle worked to install dependencies, and the DX always lacked in Xcode. SPM works similarly, but I have yet to try it on a medium-sized codebase. So, my frustration could be related to CocoaPods.

Apart from package managers, I like the auto-import features for frameworks in Android Studio. As well as the "fix it" UX, which is similar to VSCodes. Having an integrated terminal is something Xcode still lacks, and maybe a better UX than a Plist to configure projects; I know XcodeGen/Tuist and other tools exist, but something built-in would be nice for fast project config.
Well… in subjects like mathematics they kind of do, don’t they? There’s not much room for opinion on what’s true and what isn’t. Of course, how something is done or the language used to describe it is always up for debate.

You did say ‘wrong’, though, not ‘considered wrong’.

Have you considered approaching your current employer, asking to take a leave, and then coming back in a slightly different role?

Everyone's experience is different, obviously. But when things have been boring that's also meant an organization that lacks ambition. That in turns meant leadership and management with less than stellar understanding of those roles. Talk about a feeling of career stagnation.
The same reason they tell customers they will never contact them and ask for personal security details and then do exactly that.
And Scrum is not even as strict as people paint it, honestly. It retains a lot of the good parts of Agile. It is a basic framework for a self-managing team.

The retrospective is where you can tweak the process, but you can honestly change things anywhere. Bad managers will resist change at any cost and will use Scrum as an excuse to resisting change, but that's true for any methodology.

The problem is it doesn't work when there's micromanagement, it doesn't work when there are waterfall-ish parts (eg: PMs not splitting tickets, QAs hogging releases). Scrum also doesn't work when the development team isn't empowered, or has no domain experts. But most methodologies also don't.

Owning equity in a startup doesn’t guarantee financial security. Understand the risks associated with dilution and internal funding rounds, and consider diversifying your investments to mitigate potential losses.

Don’t blindly trust leadership or assume they always have your best interests at heart. Stay informed and be willing to challenge decisions that could negatively impact you or your stake in the company.

The "civilized world" does not, however, have universal life insurance nor disability insurance that would cover the full standard of living. Those are, at least in Germany, privatized, and companies could benefit a lot from having access to some extra data.

I'm not sure that getting caught using such data would be sufficiently bad news to be not worth it.
This sort of viewpoint is the perfect example - the short-sighted kneejerk "I know better" response that jumps to conclusions without taking into consideration (...or frankly even being aware of) any context or rationale or background info for why things are the way they are.

People like this cause problems and headaches for everyone as they are loose canons causing havoc, confusion, and wasted effort.

Congrats - you are very likely your manager's biggest annoyance.

If you think something is wrong or inefficient or whatever, talk about it with your manager or skip-level. Don't just take matters into your own hands and subsequently screw things up for loads more people by doing stupid things like entering into/cancelling agreements/commitments with other teams/customers etc because you think your manager is a bozo.
Well - either stuffit/someone who hacked stuffit cleverly infiltrated one of the base browser protections against downloading files without an interaction across multiple browser implementations but forgot your phone can't run programs in dmg format leading them to a dead end of infiltration... or your phone registered a tap you didn't desire it to. (all assuming the dmg was for stuffit, it's possible the file just came from elsewhere if not)

The Physics of Fiction: How Art and Science Inspire Each Other
I've got a bunch of Ansible scripts, written in around 2013 or so - and then constantly tweaked over the years. Code quality isn't the greatest, but I've been using them to provision a bunch of laptops, Linux PCs, etc. They work good enough that I didn't search for a replacement yet. There's always a thing which needs fixing with these scripts, which is to be expected for something which is only fired every so often.

Hardest part of using them is remembering to do any config changes in Ansible repos and not directly in config files.

I have diverging logic, branching off usernames and group memberships to treat given machine as "personal" or "work" - and then configure certain settings differently. I'm using ansible-vault for secrets like SSH keys, etc.

New machine provisioning is usually just installation of a package manager (if not present, like brew), and installation of Ansible.

I don't understand this. Why is management telling you what to do? In our company, the managers ask/push the teams to improve some metric, but the teams are responsible for the how. The metric is usually high-level, like "reduce the number of bugs reported", not "increase code coverage".
No, that's pretty much most reddit subs.

I wish there were a DE for Linux that replicated the Mac desktop paradigm. None currently do, even GNOME and Pantheon which people like to point to as the “Mac-like” DEs only aesthetically kinda resemble macOS… their windowing models are closer to a weird hybrid of Windows and iPadOS.
Doesn't matter if it's an internal or external round. The same can happen either way, just you call it dilution if it's external.

I don't think this can be defended against... You just need to make sure that if 50+% of the shareholders ever club together to make any decision, that your interests are on the majority side.
It's probably due to genetics, their body assimilate food better than Caucasian, due to their diet for 5000 years being really light of fat and sugar, so when they follow the Caucasian diet (2300 cal a day high carbs high fat) it does not work.

Also, they are poor countries who can't produce the food they need for multiple reason (sometime it's population, but often it's mining/industrial pollution related) and they have to import the cheapest food available, ie leftover from US (and recently China) food processing.
Good perspective. Thank you.
Most of the time, I see teams mixing refactoring, bug fixing, and new features into a single PR which causes this. Keeping PRs focused makes it easier to review and find issues before shipping to prod.

In other words, first bug-fix PR should be hacky af to fix the bug. No refactoring, nothing controversial (other than the hacky af fix). After you verify the fix in production, then, and only then, do you open a PR to refactor the code. Finally, after that is verified in production, close the bug ticket.

My parents own a gorgeous, huge custom home. It's in the middle of nowhere in Kansas. They have no community. They're in abject low grade depression except for the weeks bookending when they travel. My dad's losing it mentally, and they just languish there.

They love visiting me when I travel. They whine there's nothing to do, no food, no culture near them. They're too cheap to heat or cool the place and again, Kansas, so it's straight up miserable 8 months of the year. It takes an army to clean it. My dad "loves" mowing 7 acres but I know he just views it as a task to get done.

Idk, the older I get the more I realize most people have never seriously sat down and tried to elavulate what they really want, versus what they think they want based on someone else's measure of success.
The tech/programmer job market tightened up over the last few years, and remote jobs got more scarce as companies required their employees to return to the office. Lots of people want to work remotely or from home. Finding any remote job presents challenges. You probably know that.

"Stress" and "boring" don't describe attributes of a job. They describe how a person interprets and reacts to a job. What I find interesting and not stressful may cause someone else to experience stress and boredom. Some jobs and managers impose lots of demands, or create less than ideal work environments, and those conditions may cause more people to experience stress, but the stress still comes from the people reacting to the job that way, not as an inherent property of the job.

You might try freelancing. You can choose your customers, set your own pace, and probably won't have to work on-site. Freelancing can cause frustration and stress too, but in general you have more control over the situation than you would as an employee.
Why? What would you choose? It is actually a pretty good browser.
Without exception, the founders with the best outcomes in my network have a co-founder who has been in the industry for decades, has personal relationships with the leadership of the category leaders, and got a meeting with them for the startup in one phone call.

The startup becomes a design partner to the #2 or #3 in the space, proves out the model, and raises tons of capital.

Almost all the money in any industry flows through one company. Almost all the money that doesn’t flow through them flows through #2 and so on.

The power law is real in markets.

So distribution means doing business with a customer who has already captured the market distribution and solving a problem for them.

Study Proctor & Gamble, they pioneered the model of being a monopoly that provides services to their suppliers.

The biggest problem the category leader has in any market is that their market isn’t getting bigger & their supply chain isn’t getting more efficient to the degree that it could. They know why, they just don’t have solutions.
The proportions seem a little off but it is hand drawn.

The social casino space on mobile is interesting, because everyone basically accepts that their apps are a commodity. Therefore the winners are the ones with the best operations.

SciPlay in particular comes to mind because they have built out their own payment processing on platforms that support it. They explicitly want to avoid headwinds from Walled Gardens making decrees. They would already have momentum if/when mobile platforms allow third-party transactions.

That's not to say they would also abandon the distribution benefits the mobile storefronts offer over PWAs. But payment processing wouldn't be the sole thing that keeps them. This is why Apple fights so vigorously to defend their wall. The benefit isn't innate for players or for developers. Once developers reach a certain level of maturity, the wall benefits Apple at everyone else's expense.

With the recent cracks in the wall caused by Epic, I would expect social casino space to be an early adopter in any alternative payment flows that emerge. But honestly I would expect games in general to react quickly, since Apple is walking in Facebook's footsteps and actively detoxing their games revenue habit in favor of advertising revenue. There's more incentive than ever to build a direct relationship with your customers instead of having to proxy them through Apple.

I try to stay in the small-to-medium company bracket, and in this bracket, my opinion has been decently taken into consideration. Companies that have grown large enough where endless processes start to be introduced, layers of bs jobs get added between engineers and C-levels, I've just left for smaller companies. I don't make FAANG salaries, but I'm pretty happy.
What a beautiful comment. We should make it the MOTD for perpetuity.
My window management style changes completely when I switch operating systems - on Windows I use the taskbar (with actual named windows, not just the default icons), because the desktop switching and "overview"/view all windows feature are atrociously laggy. On Mac and Linux (Gnome), as you say, the dock is useless for finding your windows so I make extensive use of desktops and the overview, which both perform flawlessly.
Stock price and profits are not the same thing. The stock price are a bet on future developments, mostly on revenue/profit growth. Profits are actual money in the bank.

Pfizer's annual net income has been around $10 Billion continually since 2009: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/PFE/pfizer/gross-p...

I kind of disagree, in that any rule should have an implied "you can ignore this with good justification". Otherwise you turn people into robots, which renders moot all the reasons why you have people, and not robots.
>Why would they intend to put nuclear weapons in orbit? That's not necessary for anti-satellite weapons.

I think the standing theory is that every superpower has some type of weapons platform lurking about in orbit for a 'best-attempt' at first strike capability.

Notes on West Africa
You know Switzerland is all hilly or mountainy right? Building infrastructure is inherently much harder and more expensive and yet Switzerland does a much better job of it. Switzerland is also actually more diverse with it having 3 distinct languages. The federalization via cantons is smart and works well.

I'm certain your two sources are not measuring the same thing. Swiss taxes are much lower. Median income in Germany is 43k which results in a tax rate of 34% in bawu. Median income in Switzerland is 78k, that in Zürich gives a tax rate of roughly 12% (!!!).
Of course in Switzerland all health insurance is private so you end up having to pay more but this does not increase with more income!

Anyways the idea that the tax burden is the same is completely laughable.
