I liked https://www.cdrf.co/ for exploring DRF.

You basically have either a property or a function with the name get_property for a certain number of things (queryset, serialiser, pagination class, etc.) in any case. I tend to recommend in our projects style guides that once you want to override the behaviour of a mixin, you don’t inherit from the mixin anymore.

The two biggest issues I came across with teams in DRF were people coupling the serialised directly to a single database model (i.e. using ModelSerializer everywhere, even when that didn’t make sense), and trying to put too much stuff into a single class based view or viewset.
>This same mechanism is how a dryer knows when the clothes are dry.

I've never had a dryer where that feature actually worked. My newer samsung claims to have that, but the drying time still seems to just use the timer (even when using the sensor setting) and they clothes are almost never 100% dry when the timer runs out. I suspect maybe it'd work if the clothes got dry before the timer ran out, but the timer settings always seem to be just short of how long it'd take to dry a load.
Interesting, that's a very cool idea! I tried Reaper when it was released but didn't find a good reason to move away from Pro Tools. That was a very long time ago though.

While I get the point you are making, I find it a bit over the top that you'd consider agreeing to telemetry in exchange for using the free software as tantamount to being held hostage.

I think looking at history is a terrible way to make predictions about the future. The world will never again be anything close to what it was in the past.

But, isn't that the discussion? That is, why would someone earning 100k feel that it's not enough, when all economic comparisons, with peers or peer-adjacents, insist that it's a load of money? Maybe it is, and maybe it's not; but if you go on strike you're probably not convinced by what the Fed, the DOL, and HN say.
NYT's political coverage has been extremely poor this year, with very obvious editorial control preventing negative coverage of Trump.

It's not obvious to me they have a bias here, but given the clear systemic issues in other reporting it's reasonable to bring a skeptical view to their own reporting.

> The worst of both worlds is Touch Buttons. No screen, just a touch-sensitive surface that's divided into areas that activate upon any kind of skin contact, whether intentional or not.

Douglas Adams in 1979 knew the coming future:

A loud clatter of gunk music flooded through the Heart of Gold cabin as Zaphod searched the sub-etha radio wave bands for news of himself. The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive--you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program.

Well let's get into what NYT does: apps and widgets for several platforms, a separate paid "games" product, advertising backend, podcasts on separate apps, visualizations for key stories.. the list goes on. And at a very large scale.

NYT isn't comparable to The Guardian. It's subscription based so the news isn't enough. They have to add cooking, games, The Athletic, etc, across a ton of different apps, feeds, and presentations.

Games is solely a software product sold as a separate add-on subscription. It's almost certainly a profit center at the rates they charge.

It's very far from all the humanity's accumulated knowledge. Wikipedia is but a digest of of the deeper end of science, and barely scratches the applied sciences that are required for the modern advanced technology.

To preserve a copy of the humanity's recorded knowledge, you'd have to keep a copy of the library of Congress + archives of all scientific journals + arxiv.org, and equivalents of it for other languages, like Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Russian, Spanish, Hindi,.. Then there is a ton of proprietary and sometimes secret information held by companies and crucial for their functioning.
I worked in fast food and this resonates extremely with me. There were only 4-5 people in a kitchen during the busy rush, and there was a list everyone knew of people they didn't want to get stuck in a shift with. If someone sucks to work with, it really sucks, and because everyone is pitching in and working together, there is no indication that the person was bad at their job. If you were fired, it was usually because your fellow workers said you were bad.

I'm all on board with better pay and benefits. But protecting mediocrity doesn't benefit customers or other workers. Companies may occasionally arbitrarily fire good employees without a good cause, but that would be their loss.

One thing you'll notice in employee-owned companies (as opposed to unionized companies) is that they generally do no tolerate such clauses in their contracts.

Yes, it's not meant to replace data engineering tools like Prefect or Temporal. Instead, it serves as a transformation engine and ad-hoc analytics for images/video/text data. It's pretty much DBT use case for text and images in S3/GCS, though every analogy has its limits.

In that scenario they certainly can. They just have to take the source, modify it to suit their needs, and recompile it. They are 100% within their rights to do that.

I wasn't exaggerating about recompiling the world, though. Even if we say I'm only interested in profiling my application, a single library compiled without frame pointers makes useless any samples where code in that library was at the top of the stack. I've seen that be libc, openssl, some random Node module or JNI thing, etc. You can't just throw out those samples because they might still be your application's problem. For me in those situations, I would have needed to recompile most of the packages we got from both the OS distro and the supplemental package repo.
> if you were a big celebrity, you could get an "unlisted" number (I think you had to pay for it), but that was relatively rare.

Ehh, in my hometown, police officers almost always opted for unlisted, at the same time one couldn't blame them given the overall level of crime in the city.
I'm old enough to remember a time when people in tech were called 'wizards' and there was an air of mystery that surrounded the industry. A large subset of this group really seems to have bought into the idea that working in tech makes you 'special'. It does not. It's a skilled profession that is trainable and attainable by large swaths of the population. Working in tech does not make you special (Yes - you) and the tech industry is well overdue for quality of life improvements that other, organized, sectors have had for decades.

I have been accused by a number of people who like me of “asking good questions” and of asking difficult questions by people who don’t.

I sucked at school until someone opened up the idea for me around third grade that how the curriculum is taught is just the teacher’s opinion, not a law, or a religion. If you can reframe the material in a way that makes sense to you then do so. I ended up spot-tutoring a bunch of people over the years because I would hear them complain about how the material made no sense and I would swoop in and say, “yeah how they teach this is bullshit, have you tried thinking about it this way?” Which validates their frustration and then gives them a life raft.

That kind of reframing to keep up can become reframing to get ahead. I went from Problem Student to grade school “valedictorian”, to polymath. Years ago we were all fixated on the trap of Expert Beginner and I would half-joke that I was instead an Expert Journeyman - able to quickly get to adequate instead of mediocre in a new discipline. And these days I think that may be what “polymath” is most of the time. Just knowing what the next question is to ask to keep going. The big breakthroughs come from people who become experts in most fields, but these same sorts of people also get pretty good at music or painting or writing as a hobby. As good or better than mediocre professionals.

The first time this happened to me in a professional setting, a coworker was stuck on a SQL problem and insisted I pair with them to help debug it. I told her I’ve never touched SQL, just worked on some bespoke data processing. She didn’t care. Come here anyway. And I’ll be damned if I didn’t help her find her problem by just asking her what this part does and that part does. Why does this work that way? And I started writing SQL a couple weeks later, substantially off of just that interaction, bolstered by what first generation search engines could scrape together.

And the thing is when everyone asks you questions and you don’t break their trust, you quickly learn where all the bodies are buried in the project/org. Which is a valuable asset for someone wishing to become a lead or staff engineer. I became lead by popular vote most times, rather than an actual game plan to get promoted. I just did what thought needed to get done and was within my abilities, which looks a lot like leadership, especially if management doesn’t have that quality. Port in a storm, that’s me.

But I’ve never ever completed the most stories or features. I’ve occasionally fixed the most bugs, the most performance issues, or workflow problems. Is calculated I saved forty man hours a week for the team on code-build-test-push ergonomics and my shitheel boss was still made about my productivity those two quarters. I could not show up to work and still be contributing 8 hours a day, dummy.
You say that as though there isn't a choice though. There will always be a good offering who doesn't water mark.

And there is no good reason for a provider to watermark - they aren't helping the customer. They'd be helping some other party who isn't paying them.

This will never be a thing.

Why? The piece is written by "Katie Robertson", which according to her profile is "a reporter covering the media industry for The New York Times". That dosen't sound like new york times company management to me. She (and therefore the article) is at least more distanced away from this story than the union itself.

They would have felt like so many different things!
I have used remote dev machines just fine, but my workflow vastly differs from many of my coworkers: terminal-only spacemacs + tmux + mosh. I have a lot of CLI and TUI tools, and I do not use VScode at all. The main GUI app I run is a browser, and that runs locally.

I have worked on developing VMs for other developers that rely on a local IDE such. The main sticking point is syncing and schlepping source code (something my setup avoids because the source code and editor is on the remote machine). I have tried a number of approaches, and I sympathize with the article author. So, in response to "Devs need to create the software tooling to make remote dev less painful. I mean, they're devs... making software is kind of their whole thing." <-- syncing and schlepping source code is by no means a solved problem.

I can also say that, my spacemacs config is very vanilla. Like my phone, I don't want to be messing with it when I want to code. Writing tooling for my editor environment is a sideshow for the work I am trying to finish.

it's an interesting topic, but it's dumb to talk about how important this is, but at the same time conflate "stereo" with "binaural". It's not clear what is being measured here in terms of the result being "good"

(stereo is for creating a realistic sound field for a number of people in your living room; binaural is for creating a realistic sound field for 1 person with headphones. there are issues and compromises either way, for example one of the problems with binaural is that when you turn your head, the virtual "stage full of musicians" swings around along with your perspective)

BO6 Terminus Calculator，Help You Save 5k on Beam Smasher Steps
Hey everyone! If you're diving into the Terminus map and working through the wall equation in the story mission, I created a calculator to help streamline the process. It’s been a game-changer for me, so I wanted to share it with you!

Terminus Calculator

Using it is super easy: just activate the laptops scattered around the map to find the numbers on the sticky notes, then enter those numbers into the X, Y, and Z fields on the calculator page. It’ll instantly generate the code you need to enter into the machine, allowing you to breeze through the mission without any hassle.

Feel free to check it out here: Terminus Calculator. You can also copy the page source to run it locally if you prefer, but the online link will remain active. I hope this makes your runs smoother and more efficient! Happy zombie hunting!
Increased performance? Watermarking will not increase performance. They are talking about tilting the decoding process in minor ways. It won't help (or hurt much) performance.
Man I sincerely doubt that because I would never ever feel comfortable commenting like that. I looked through your post history for union references and it seems like you're not all that onboard with american unionization practices. I guess I'm forced to believe you due to anonymity though.
I had a $15 Aldi one that worked fine. I'm sure the high end ones are better in some ways, but it's sorta like drip coffee pots, there is only so much you can improve upon.
I work in the EU, and I'd rather see the American "at-will" system, but with a basic income + additional financial distress protections.

It is IMO ridiculous that in a lot of EU countries, chronic low performance is not just cause for firing.

It makes economical sense to reduce the friction of allocating workers where they'll be most productive. It just shouldn't destroy those workers' financial security.
I just read that as "management has no idea how to evaluate the quality of work of their employees".

Either the company should be able to evaluate an employee's performance and therefore can show proof of poor performance or it can't properly evaluate an employee's performance and therefore shouldn't be firing people based off an admittedly inaccurate measure of performance.
The single downside being you can get signals for SIGWINCH, while the (legacy) xterm escape sequence requires polling.

I wrote a proposal[0] to have terminals send these updates in-band, instead of requiring polling a-la xterm. So far, foot, ghostty, iterm2, and kitty have implemented this feature on the terminal side. Neovim, notably, also supports this on the client side.

This is a 3 day old post. Are you just replying because you looked at my post history?
"tech bankruptcy"! this is a VERY strong sentiment. First of all, I've never seen a rails-based company which has it problems from tech department, and not from product market fit or whatever, and that's in a 18 year carreer. I'm singlehandedly refactoring right now a 10-yearish rails app which had a period of neglect and bad contractors who broke every single test, and it is still very much manageable.
I'd love for every application to be a few megabytes in size like in the old days. I'm a big proponent of building applications using native code and OS native controls, as far as those still exist. Unfortunately, nobody sells that software anymore.

If you think you can make competing software for the Teams/Slacks of this world that runs the way programs written for Windows 2000 run today by just convincing a few developers not to be lazy, you stand to make a LOT of money. I'd welcome your attempt for sure.

Everyone knows there's no strict necessity to modern desktop bloat, but nobody seems to have come up with a solution other than "what if we all did a lot more hard work (mostly for free)".
None of the names associated with the gospels had anything to do with the writing of said gospels. All of them were composed after the deaths of these people.
... except "not" delivers this "the output code is pretty much always broken in some way".
You can still be pro-worker even if you think sometimes a certain worker is bad, or hard to work with, or otherwise a "bad employee." It is more something political and something about how you view the world/humanity in general. It is not an "identity politics" where the discussion is around certain kinds of people or not. That would be kinda silly anyway on its face, we are virtually all workers!
This sucks so much.

One one hand, who cares about a single species in a single location? But we've come too far, and now the question is really: who cares about one of the last few similar species in one of the last few remaining locations? Which sucks. Sigh.
There’s a whole little range of forgotten/dead products for this. It looks just like a tiny pot of Carmex or other lip balm and it coats your finger to make it that tiny bit more grippy to make handling loads of paper easier. No idea what it’s name is haven’t seen it in 20 years since I stopped having to hang around the church offices while my parents did choir practice.
Your analogy only works when applied to the hiring stage, as that is when the publishing house decides to work with you. If the publisher accepted your manuscript, assigned you an editor, gave you a target publish date, and gave you advance and then suddenly booted you and said “your work isn’t good” you’d have some questions, and rightly so.

As a gamer, for me there is no more crystalized example of "Everything doesn't need to be touchscreen-based!" than comparing the excellent Gameboy Advance Game, "WarioWare Inc" to its touch-based sequel on the Nintendo DS, "WarioWare: Touched". Some of the same minigames that were previously driven by d-pad and buttons were now entirely driven by the touchscreen and stylus, and were much worse off for it.

Given that WarioWare: Touched! was released in 2005, it's a little depressing that it took the rest of the tech industry almost 20 years to learn from that mistake.
Too bad you didn't choose Phoenix/Elixir. Give it a try, and never come back to Rails.
I think tech workers have gotten a little spoiled. At my company, we have about 35 people in our IT department. 3/4 are directors and managers and I honestly have no fucking idea what they do all day. 600 people on the IT staff at the NYT is insane, and I guarantee the majority of those jobs is "attend meetings every day to jerk each other off with 1 deliverable a week".
