A key distinction is that people need employment. People don't need to fill out surveys. That's why there are many things companies aren't allowed to require of their employees, that they are allowed to require of other parties.

So while, in many jurisdictions, it's fine for companies to sell data collected on their employees, and it could be argued that those employees consented to this data sharing by working there, one could also easily argue for an employee protection law that prevents companies from requiring their employees to consent to this.

Well, I got past being dazzled by QEMU machine config files years ago. They're actually rather simple. Once you grasp dealing with QEMU at that level its a short, and possibly dubious step, to just CLI-ing everything. The GUI tools are efficient for picking up on new capabilities as QEMU/KVM evolves with time.

I've been known to just start VMs from the CLI directly, for experimental purposes. The tooling everyone uses (Proxmox, virt-*, etc.) obscures the fact that spawning a VM is just a command with a bunch of switches. I suppose that familiarity for me came from using QEMU to emulate other archs on x86 for embedded development purposes: launching ARM VMs, for example.

Junk Science, 'Shaken Baby Syndrome,' and the Fate of Robert Roberson
Me and a few people made ourselves some weird "VDI"-like workstations as VMware virtual machines, not that long time ago. Those run Ubuntu. I was fine with plain ssh, but my boss pushed his setup to the limits and used that as his main computer. He even gave away company laptop and used only private one to RDP into that (through some corporate vdi auth, but still RDP).

On that vm side it was xrdp. He had multimonitor setup working, sound, video, he even used zoom daily.

Client was windows, it passed through camera and so on.

I could not tell I was using something remotely, even if I was just using mouse and keyboard, sitting directly in front of those monitors.

One gotcha was that these were very fast VMs on fast network.

One of the first commenters addressed this [1] with a pretty fair point of view:

> "There's an apples-to-oranges comparison going on because while the majority of hand-drawn/made/oldschool animation and effects which were very ordinary and uncreative have slipped from memory (and are unavailable to view) and we only see the cream/best of a hundred years of those artforms, CG is unfairly and naively compared to it."

That is, most old effects before CGI were crap. We remember fondly those that stood the test of time (like Max Headroom or Blade Runner) precisely because they were good. We forget about the majority that weren't very good.

> There is one and only one legal default under the GDPR: Do not track.

This is immediately followed by every head of marketing (at least for US-based companies) asking "Okay, so how do we track those people?"

I'm not saying this is right. But it is reality. We normalized for two decades marketing leadership having the expectation that they can track every interaction, and prying that data away has been painful, especially for folks who really want to do the right thing but are told otherwise by their managers.
And I think there's some cognitive problem that prevents people from understanding that "the effort required to break your security" has been rapidly trending towards zero. This makes the equation effectively useless.

(Possibly even negative, when people go out and deliberately install apps that, by backdoor or by design, hoover up their data, etc. And when the mainstream OSes are disincentivized to prevent this because it's their business model too.)

There was a time, not very long ago, when I could just tcpdump my cable-modem interface and know what every single packet was. The occasional scan or probe stuck out like a sore thumb. Today I'd be drinking from such a firehose of scans I don't even have words for it. It's not even beachfront property, we live in a damn submarine.
This is exactly what I was wondering when I first saw Guarch (great videos btw). Is this something that users of regular Bosch batteries would benefit?

Dunno, I never saw the value of learning some esoteric piece of language/library/sysadmin trivia I'd use once or twice after spending hours poking at things trying to figure it out.
Quite possibly, but 1) you better be A-OK with having whatever it is permanently grow into your bone such that you'd have to carve it out with chisels or saws, and 2) you still need to hold it there long enough for that to happen, ideally without whatever mechanism you're using for that also being incorporated (like, literally incorporated).

Hiring well is hard - it's not super obvious if you aren't paying enough or your company isn't desirable or what else is the cause of not seeing good candidates. While in theory you could solve that by wildly overpaying, in practice you have to be able to justify your decision to higher ups in most cases, and pointing to a tool that shows what you really need to pay to get good people can be very helpful. I still find it gross, but, there are practical situations where it will drive salaries higher.

Thanks for the feedback! Developing/prototyping is a very pleasant experience in Zig compared to Rust. It's obviously a different approach and some might find the tooling less mature but I quickly realized that the build system (as per 0.13.0) is very solid. You can build the docs, run the tests, etc. I'm a Neovim user and honestly the LSP (ZLS) is stable and you can additionally get the compilation errors (you need to create a check step in your build file). In tests, using with the testing allocator to catch memory leaks guides you while prototyping.

My driving principle in the same vein is "where do I have to look when/if this doesn't behave as expected?" - if the answer is not in the docs (wiki -> package/module -> file -> class -> function / method) or is otherwise > 10 lines away, it gets an inline comment (or the docs are updated).

The farmers almost never do the processing, Certainly none of the farms I have seen do.

Which defeats the point of buying the foods at issue from a farmer, unless you are suggesting that everyone buy the equipment they need to make deli meat at home from the quarter-cow they just purchased.

Both the animals and the processing are done with as many corners cut as they can get away with because something thats simply not worth doing for a local farmer becomes extremely valuable when done at factory scale.

This discussion is about processed meats, primarily deli meats. You are not buying deli meats from a local farmer, because as you have also stated, they don't do the processing.

But if you meant to say, buy from a local butcher then yes, by all means do that because they will buy from the local farmer and process the meat for you.

> offers routing and jsx rendering out of the box

It gives you building blocks to hack together your own router and SSR. Not the same as offering things "out of the box".

You talk about framework deprecation while using non standard APIs of an alternative runtime. The risk is the same. If anything, Bun is much less popular and more likely to die than Nextjs.

The US, at least since WW2, are the bad guys.

I'll go with "the US has been bad".

But to say that they were simply "the bad guys", in a world bursting full of bad guys in practically every corner, is simplistic and naive.

It also (ironically) denies these other societies any respect for their own agency, and their own salient capacity to be corrupt, incompetent, genocidal and warmongering, and run themselves into the ground in countless other ways without any help at all from the US. In that sense, it's actually quite a myopic and hegemonic way of looking at things.
So, you responded to a request for a description with an hour-and-a-half-long video? Dude, do you have some kind of TLDR? Or are you a shill for Apple?
It's true! If you come across a well-documented and complex piece of code, it's always easier to delete it all and write a simpler (and less correct) replacement than reading all of that code and documentation. And since your replacement is simpler, you're free to delete the inapplicable documentation that you saved so much time not reading!

If you didn't back that documentation up with some tests to reflect the necessity of that complexity, this is an avoidable tragedy. But if the junior then comes in and deletes your tests because they don't pass, that's a firin'.

I write detailed git commit messages like a maniac.

Git commit messages are better than comments, because they tag the specific baseline of code where a decision was made, and you can write multiple paragraphs to explain something (including all the "why not"), without cluttering the program text.

The problem with comments is that they also pertain to a revision that existed around the time they were written, but they stick around, pointing to newer revisions, perhaps falsely. They add clutter. Unless you use a folding editor, comments can separate pieces of code so that you see a smaller window of the program.

One line of code can be touched by many, many commits. Each of those commits should have something to say about that, and all that talk cannot possibly be put into a giant, ever-growing comment next to that line of code. In regard to my previous point, a lot of that talk won't even be relevant to the current version of that line!

I've taken the view that the thing I'm developing is a git repo, not the source tree.

A source tarball is just something for building and deploying, not for development.

If someone wants to understand why something was done, they must use the repo, and not a source tarball. If they insist on just working with the source snapshot, but ask questions that are answerable in the git history, I cannot support them.

Local code search is great in JetBrains products. I use PyCharm and even on large codebases the search is almost instantaneous and there are enough filters and options to nail down what you need.

And yet, he says "... I didn’t care about fooling the diners."

I agree with you, that the diner seeing what they are about to eat is an important part of the experience. But Chang seems to be saying that even that is not the point! The results (including diner experience, and the honesty of that experience) don't matter. It is purely about instilling and maintaining a culture.

I don't really buy it, myself. Should they also forge all their knives from iron ore, the long slow way, before being allowed to use them in the kitchen? As other people commented, I think this is more about weaving a story and casting a glamour than anything else.
Uber engineering does, there is extensive work that goes into the app to ensure drivers aren't GPS spoofing or that an actual ride is occurring. I.E. Check the accelerometer or gyro. That said theres a natural tension between making the app accessible to drivers and locking it down to protect riders. I.E. Disabling the app if your phone is rooted/jailbroken. But again you are limited to privacy, the api's for the devices you have to support and managing how accessible the app is.

It's not Kenya, it's everywhere. Ubers in the US are increasingly doing a lot of the same things (canceling your booking if they don't like where you're going, e.g.) and becoming indistinguishable from the pre-Uber status quo.

From an economic perspective it's kind of fascinating that lying and cheating drivers appear to be the natural equilibrium state of the taxicab market; Uber temporarily disrupted this dynamic but could not actually eliminate it, and it is now reasserting itself after a period of turbulence.
