And why is that? Because it made sense based on the options provided to them. And who decides what those are? The people with money and power, not the consumer.
I get that it's just an example but there would be much lower priced locally manufactured goods if they didn't have to compete directly with imports in that market segment.
This would be a big improvement to the study. As part of preparation for the WoW Classic launch I and the rest of my leveling group quit caffeine for 2 weeks to help reset our tolerance. In order to play as effectively as possible we delayed using caffeine for as long we possible in our sessions so we could play longer. Being used to consuming caffeine on a daily basis it was amazing to see the difference in its effectiveness using that method.
He also once wrote an article citing concurrency as a benefit of PHP and advocated services making web requests to themselves as a good way of achieving that. How that was taken seriously, I will never know.
Yeah that doesn’t seem great I make 25% more than that with 5 years experience and no degree in the Midwest. Salaries here have risen so a large number of mid level people are making 6 figures. Even at some banks and retail/e-commerce companies that are a lot more corporate and old school.
Yeah, the basic strategy seems to be increasing the average value of a customer that buys an iPhone. Some of that is similar to what they've done in the past with software integration between their hardware products (AirPods, Watch), and now they're expanding into services probably because those are simply easier and more cost effective to build than new hardware products. It's also easier to get people to pay for a monthly software subscription than it is to buy hardware (even with 0% APR on credit)
Even if Clearview somehow shuts down...this sort of thing is basically inevitable without laws to protect our privacy. And honestly, all of these companies that might at least complain when Clearview does it would gladly share this data with the federal government. So I'd be surprised if at least some federal law enforcement agencies have had access to equivalent (and probably better) technology for quite awhile.
The tooling is just unstable in general in my experience. You never know when things will get into a bad state and you have to kill everything and clear your caches and restart. And then in my experience styles don't actually behave the same way on iOS and Android. They also continue to make breaking changes so you always have to be worried about not only your own code but your dependencies handling that appropriately. The debugger itself is also prone to crashing and requiring full restarts at inconvenient times. Overall, I feel like the amount of random bullshit and platform specific workarounds I have to do makes it so I'm not really saving time VS having 2 native apps and I'm less confident about the overall quality of my software. There's also A LOT of valuable things in the native SDKs that no quality wrapper exists for, so you're missing out on a lot of productivity benefits of the underlying platforms.
I was under the impression that HIPAA applies to anyone in possession of private healthcare information (medical information tied to personally identifiable information)
To me the #1 thing that fixes the social issues described in this post (changing code someone checking in code a few hours after they pushed it) is a code review process. The most valuable thing about always doing pull requests and code review is sharing information and having discussion about changes, not necessarily the immediate improvement of the code. A team will gain more knowledge about what everyone is doing by reviewing each others pull requests than they do from a daily standup by a pretty large margin in my opinion.
In this particular example, reviewing a PR would have meant that a discussion about whether or not that abstraction was a good change before the code was ever merged.
Western Liberalism increasingly seems to just be a system by which you establish global feudalism. I guess it's good for a few generations. Hard to argue it's even good now though because even though we're wealthier than ever we're increasingly unhappy and mentally ill.
Or as it currently stands you can run the buggier, more resource intensive equivalents the software you used to run! Now featuring pervasive spyware that tracks and catalogues your every action! Wanted a permanent copy to the software you paid for? Too bad, it's only available as "A Service" which means you get constant changes you never asked for AND you get to pay for them on a recurring basis whether you like it or not!
Seriously though I feel like most of the gains in hardware have been wasted by shittier software both in terms of quality and in the way the software itself acts against the interests of its users.
Yes obviously “death” can be used in more than one way, when it’s chanted in combination with violence I think it’s safe to assume it’s probably the more literal interpretation
It would also be very inconvenient for a lot of people’s agendas for it to be socially acceptable to take what they say at face value instead of trying to cover it up with some kind of absurd psychobabble
From a job market perspective yes, but please don't actually choose to use this bloated crap for anything if you don't have to. It takes a fast underlying platform and turns it into something that's so much slower and is doing so much metaprogramming that you're negating most of the safety guarantees of static typing and not even getting a substantial performance advantage for using a static language. There's simply no reason to use it unless you're stuck with a bunch of devs that only know Java or you're in a corporate environment where that's the only language you're allowed to use.
I've never had a positive experience with Node.js and SQL databases in general to be honest. I don't really see the point in using it outside of familiarity with JavaScript. Nest + TypeORM might be as good as it gets in the Node world right now, but pretty much every other major platform has better ORMs and better frameworks. Node might have better performance and concurrency options than some of the others, but it's not the best at those either. It's not really clear to me that it's actually the best at anything. My preference is honestly just to avoid it. In my experience there is always a better tool.
I've been considering trying out Flutter, but mainly due to my frustrations with React Native and I'm not entirely sure if others have had similar experiences or if Flutter would be any better. I have all kinds of issues with React Native tooling stability: code randomly reverts back to previous versions with hot reloading, things only partially update when I make changes, the same styles sometimes have inconsistent behavior, Flex doesn't always work the way that it should (justify-content is sometimes simply ignored for example) and things that should look the same on iOS and Android sometimes don't. So I guess my questions to those reading this are:
1. Have you had similar experiences using React Native?
2. Have you had these kinds of problems using Flutter as well?
I'm seriously considering rebuilding a prototype we have at work in Flutter in my spare time but I'd hate for it to be a similar situation to React Native where it appears to save me time at first and then fucks me over and only makes everything take more effort to get right.
States have changed their own laws on marijuana, but it is still a Schedule 1 drug according to the federal government and is still technically illegal as a result. It’s just not very heavily enforced. Still, the federal government claims to have the authority to ban these things when 100 years ago that was not the case.
This is sort of ignoring who has the dollars though. Reduced wages for U.S. workers for cheap and often disposable goods where the profits go to rich foreign investors doesn't really sound like a win to me regardless of the capital flow.
