> Keep reminding the team I need a review but only the tech lead actually reviews anything

idea i (less healthy):

maybe that gives you an angle -- if the tech lead is behaving like this with your other colleagues, maybe you can privately agree to review each other's PRs promptly, and cut the tech lead out of the review loop! starve the environment of unreviewed code stuck in limbo for your tech lead to steal, see what happens. this would be dysfunctional in a different way, but hey, a change is as good as a holiday, right?

idea ii (more healthy):

re: "reminding the team" to review PRs, a different way to do code reviews is "pick a victim". pick a specific non-tech-lead colleague and request that they review your PR. maybe roll a die or round-robin them to avoid picking the same colleague each time. that way the responsibility can't be diluted and you can hold a specific colleague accountable .

before you start doing this, you could call it out in a team meeting (standup? retro? having a chat around the coffee machine?) so everyone has a heads up that you're going to change things. you could even say something like "i've noticed that PRs sometimes get stuck in limbo for weeks without review. to spread out the review load, let's try having each PR author picking a specific person as the reviewer. pick a different person each time. if someone asks you to review, please leave a review in a day or call out if you're overloaded and need someone else to step up and review".

If the founder is in earshot and/or you get any pushback, you can say that spreading the review workload and working to get changes through review promptly should increase the velocity that the team is able to ship changes! This is (a) likely to be true, and (b) will make it much harder for someone to argue against what you're proposing, because shipping changes faster is what the founder wants.
Most software in indeed trash. There's neither the budget nor the will to fix it. The existence of "security" software is a symptom of systemic sickness, not the underlying disease.

Uhuh. So when I query for "counties with highest population density", that specifies both the table and the geographical unit.

I don't agree that there can't be objective value judgements at all.

But choosing the authority is not a trivial task in each particular case and can give 180 degrees opposite answers on the same question.
I sort of not understand why we are not using static Files more often now.

In the old days we need CMS mostly because generating links and update to certain pages were expensive. Hard Disk were slow and memory were expensive. Now we have SSDs that eliminate 99.9999% of the problem.
He didn't push for this, but he was tasked to see Partition through, and he bungled the job, hence "non- guidance". Maybe no fault of his, but you can get a deeper nuance of the larger issues at play by thinking about how he personally could have otherwise done an okay job. Taking the maxim to not assume malice to its pedantic conclusion. Plus, it's easier to think about a constrained space of individual actions and intentions even if the wider politics are so complex.

At that moment in time, Mountbatten was perhaps the personification of the Crown (and he would have known it)
Well, nominal GDP was US $642.5b in 2015 and they haven't recovered yet. And if you measure real gdp (not nominal), even worse. What do you call having lower GDP year after year? I call it recession.

Reason is definitely some wild wild propaganda. They don't need Apple to pay them to make an unjust unreasonable bad case against humanity. They do it every day.

It's embarrassing that we have to keep rediscovering what terrible rotten no good ideas there are on that domain, naively reengaing with their trashfire submissions again and again.
I don’t want this to come across as too negative of a sentiment, but (…) a lot of online discussions are just people repeating opinions they heard elsewhere they agree with. AI is, in this regard, not that different. And marketing is a big part of it, so there are already companies with lots of weight behind making sure that people talk about only certain topics with certain viewpoints (i.e. the Overton window).

Actually original commentary in a discussion is bloody hard to come by.
At least they could make a in house playground in the process to see if their new version ever work. Maybe something like guest computer in public area. Or some sort of vm to emulate end user system to see if they ever boots. And somehow we still get this.

How the heck they didn't find out the new version prevent the computer from booting at all?
Authors frequently try to override what adoring readers and fans assert.

Jo Rowling tried to redefine aspects of Potter-reality. Before being cancelled I think her fans were split on that.

Tolkien grew tired of constantly stating a committed believer could write sagas without explicit reference to Christianity and remain catholic. He also averred the evidence the LoTR was not a parable of ww2 was self evident since the ring was destroyed: had it been a parable the ring would be retained by men, and hobbits enslaved.

I think it's the other way round - what makes you think these vertical temporary spikes of account creation can possibly be organic growth? Even viral growth doesn't look like that and, again, it's not reflected in the normal activity of the site. Creating accounts in bulk has always been trivial, there was a spam post with 600 upvotes just yesterday.

As to the text posts, I'm not sure I understand its relationship to your original claim, that is an odd jump but it doesn't sound all that difficult to look into, without that we'd both be mostly guessing (my guess is still likely spam but I have no idea). Unless you already have?

Edit: I tweaked the query slightly and I haven't looked into the content but that kinda looks like spam to me? I.e. the number of nondead text stories hasn't changed in years. Spamdetection kills a lot of stuff as you can check for yourself by browsing /newest

Increasing wealth in general (!) is always better for the world even if only because it makes more humanitarian missions possible (you need money to help others).
Storage is generally sticky but I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss that reason because it might explain why anything would fail to displace it; a bunch of software is written against S3 and the entire ecosystem around it is quite rich. It doesn’t explain the initial popularity but does explain stickiness. Initial popularity was because it was the first good REST API to do cloud storage AND the price was super reasonable.
Funny to read such a comment while the US government is busy trying to keep a 5-10 years advantage in microchip manufacturing over China, and so far they may have succeeded simply by blocking one machine manufacturer (ASML).

A company like NVIDIA makes money by being 1-2 years ahead of the competition. Even if patents and copyright didn't exist at all, NVIDIA would push an innovative new chip to the market and the competition would take years to replicate it. NVIDIA wouldn't lose anything of significance.

This is very common across all industries and indeed there's zero evidence that intellectual property has any effect on encouraging innovation. See "Against intellectual monopoly".

You can be sure that the unselflimiting nature of individualism will eventually, or maybe soon, come up against the finite resources of the earth.

The political impasse in the West is between those who prefer to call evil the lack of self-limitation, and those who prefer to call evil other-limitation.

Seems to me that process is broken here. If there is suitable meeting, maybe it makes sense to raise question how does the process work. After you have been assigned a ticket, what is reasonable timeframe for PR to be accepted? Who should review and accept it? What is the process of committing normal work to main? How are old and new tickets tracked? Should there be linking to old existing ticket?

Don't focus on the stolen work, focus on the fact that there should be process and it should be followed for normal work.
It sounds like he said XP machines auto-updated to Windows 10, and they would have had to have been connected to the internet in order to download that update. (I'm assuming, optimistically, that these were more remote-control computers than actual nuclear devices.)

Let me understand this. Are you suggesting adding yet another inefficient layer of government in sparsely populated areas?

BTW, in at least some states there are intermediate subdivisions of government, e.g. townships and districts, which take care of the roads even in rural areas.

While this is pretty cool, I feel like I must echo the sentiment here and also say that this is pretty creepy. I am fine with the "using dead people profiles to improve specificity of online ads" but the deepfakes part is very creepy. I am quite sure at least some of the targets would have started to doubt whether this is fake or real at some point. Imagine doing this on someone with the intention of radicalizing them. You can easily send messages like "The LBGTQ movement started out good. It even helped society a lot. But then it got overtaken by more and more inclusion. We came to realise that tolerance and inclusion just isn't something humans can do long term but by the time we did, it was too late. You need to do the right thing. Don't support them."

The part where they can just buy uniforms and go into an office to make a delivery sounds like very lax security with not much that can be done to fight against it.

If you make generic judgement about better/worse — you can't take only one of many sides of the story.

Every human being produces a lot of waste - natural and synthetic.

Does it make every human being morally and ethically bad?

I follow the same logic that you implied in your comment.

If you're going to solve for example plastic problem — would you need money and other resources for it? Where those money gonna come from if not from the biggest taxpayers?

Shutting down plastic producing companies is not a solution because — you solve plastic (and maybe few more) problem, but you A. reduce the quality of life B. yes, increase unemployment C. reduce wealth and money that could be invested in solving more problems than originally created.

Therefore it is extremely stupid to call a company generally "bad" just based on some environment related variable and ignoring thousands of others.

Don't you see how complex and fragile this good/evil balance is?

> But I also read that they're the biggest producers of coal (confusingly both the biggest importers and exporters, and consumers).

Yep. And their coal plants are less and less needed. They are essentially becoming peakers (in the same manner as many modern gas plants) for when the sun don't shine and the wind stops blowing. But in terms of the biggest producers of coal, Australia punches above its weight, but rarely does anyone single it out in these discussions. They also are the second biggest per-capita consumers in terms of CO2 emissions.

I've never really understood the problems he had getting the Hitchhiker movie made - all the articles around before it came out talked about having to revise the script to make sense to an American audience (and the eventual movie ended up with a strangely different plot with a villain), but the original radio series is pretty much a road movie, which is almost an American trope.

If it is simply caused by a corrupted file. That is a really bad signal. It means they don't even try to properly validate and parse the file before loading them into the KERNAL. Always validate input so it don't crash your program is almost the computer science 101 every programming class should tell you in the first class. And yet they still make this happen?

And in this case, it only crash. But if it somehow read value from position it isn't supposed to successfully? You have an RCE.

For a decade-old (or older) Apple laptop, however, you may be stuck with running another OS (Linux, Windows, ...) when security updates are no longer available for macOS on it.

Frequently the hardware outlasts the software support. Personally I'm a fan of Apple's pre-2016 "retina" MacBook Pro design, which included a better (chiclet) keyboard than later intel (butterfly) or Apple Silicon (scissor switch) models, but still had a great display, acceptable weight/bulk, and reasonably fast (and sometimes upgradable?) flash storage.

Surprisingly, Apple Silicon 16" MacBook Pro models are somewhat bulkier and heavier than their 15" intel predecessors, though they do provide drastically improved battery life.
> A surface street going from 35mph to 25mph is not going to add an hour of driving time unless you are driving 100 miles a day on non-highway surface streets, which literally nobody does.

I’ve seen streets go from 45mph to 25mph, lose driving lanes to bike or bus lanes, lose parking, etc. It makes things far worse than you think. What used to be a 20 minute drive will now be 35 minutes. Now consider the drive in both directions, time to find parking, and other trips you might make that day. It forces people to stay confined and not make as many trips because it simply isn’t possible to fit them in anymore. That is a loss of life quality.

> Why should pedestrians bear the human cost of higher car speeds when drivers are the ones benefitting from it?

They don’t have to and by and large they don’t bear any cost for it. You’re exaggerating things - the probability of a pedestrian dying is incredibly low. I walk as well and am not in fear of cars just like I’m not in fear of other unlikely events.
Tl,dr: not a furby
Did I mention this was 15 years ago? Software development back then looked very different than it does now, especially in Wincore. There was none of this "Cloud-native development" stuff that we all know and love today. GitHub was just about 1 year old. Jenkins wouldn't be a thing for another 2 years.

In this case the "automated test" flipped all kinds of configuration options with repeated reboots of a physical workstation. It took hours to run the tests, and your workstation would be constantly rebooting, so you wouldn't be accomplishing anything else for the rest of the day. It was faster and cheaper to require 8 devs to rollback to yesterday's build maybe once every couple of quarters than to snarl the whole development process with that.

The tests still ran, but they were owned and run by a dedicated test engineer prior to merging the branch up.
There may well be tiers like on NFLX, where some are ad-sponsored and some are not. But seeing as how rapidly the free/open models catch up to prior-generation proprietary models, I doubt there will be much margin or room for ads on anything but the latest/greatest.

I’m Nigerian, and this is my take.

This is just a shakedown move by a corrupt, extremely incompetent government looking for funding…they might have just begged Zuckerberg to donate directly.

This country has never cared about data privacy. They literally handed our entire national identity database to dubious third parties, by refusing to implement basic security practices [1].

I hope Zuckerberg tells the government to pound sand and just blocks Nigerians from Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. It’s not like Meta makes much profit from this poor country anyway.

Maybe the biggest hurdle for everyone except Starlink (with their standardized design) is spacecraft design and engineering, not cost to orbit?

Who is 'they' here? Certainly there was a one-child policy. I don't think it could be said that the consequence of female abortion and infanticide was the intention (or even an expected consequence) of the policy.

It seems that many people in the comments are set on demonizing the country. For this I think better points to raise are the ethnic cleansing of the Uyghur 'reeducation' program, or the usurping of peaceful autonomous neighbors like Tibet and Hong Kong (maybe Taiwan later). But none of this has anything to do with obligations around CO2 emissions, which they are addressing more than any country on the planet, as I've commented elsewhere:
