For good reason, have you SEEN how crazy most of the public that would be calling is?

Game companies have notoriously been sweatshops for devs, so not surprising I guess.

Tbh the f-string stuff sounds pretty in-pythonic to me… like it would make it much harder to read and abuse.

It also has what it needs to launch its own Facebook… oh that didn’t turn out well for google, almost like there’s more to a market than just making the tech.

Sure, but apple requires one to be linked to use the phone. So…

Yes. IPhones (and android too iirc) also have a robust screen time system we use for our kids. Problem is that Apple doesn't make it very easy to use if you're not familiar with tech... and I've seen several frustrating UX/sync bugs with it. Could be a lot better, but it's there - especially important to limit them charging in-game purchases to your card without prompting for approval.

I’d be happy if the spell checking just worked. I shouldn’t have to go to google for a decent spell check.

I mean… Why not just industrialize the planting of trees for that? The damn things are practically free…

Same reason it’s easier to get contractors or backfill instead of giving raises… HR makes it a pita for managers to do it.

Not just scaling it… scaling it in a way that doesn’t immediately bankrupt you. Bit of a chicken and egg problem with advertisers.

“Meta analysis” is the new snake oil.

You act like Java isn’t copying what every other language has had for years or decades. Green threads are not threads they’re just an async system in the existing runtime, they share one or more real threads as workers. They do that because creating real threads requires OS features like permission checking, memory management, cpu scheduling, etc. pick the right abstraction for the work.

Until the manager model decides to outsource the expert models.

Used to love google maps, but I’ve switched to Apple Maps it’s been so bad lately. It’s taken me in literal circles, decides I need to do 2 uturns while sitting at a traffic light, gives instructions that are unclear or too late, etc. I noticed Waze got worse lately too, I guess they’re integrating them more :(

Hmm, I remember reading about it leaching chemicals too, but guess that’s not in the wiki so maybe wasn’t sourced /shrug

mmmm, wouldn’t say they’re inert…

> No one thinks the older structures are static.

It would seem enough people did to warrant this person to write about the topic.

How about you fire the CEO that allowed such a boneheaded decision? With them in charge, how could one ever trust your company to not make such moves again?

For IT, Mark yourself looking on LinkedIn, follow up with the swarm that messages you. Focus one ones that use the actual company email, followed by ones that at least say what company it’s for (many won’t say). Be upfront about salary/location requirements, but double check about them in the interviews.

This is, BY FAR, the best explanation I’ve found. Goes over some cool history too.

I think that’s only half right… the financialization is driven via a priority of short term profits that are incentivized by the market to executives. They play the BS game to just get rich and then dip, company be damned in the long run.

Eh, just a different kind of superhero imho. Like James Bond somehow never getting shot or Ironman making crazy tech, a movie hacker pulls off impossible feats, and people like that kind of thing.

Rebalancing according to risk is recommended, not doing it because you think you know what the market is going to do. For instance, let's say right now, the market is headed up. When is the right time to "re-balance" to more cash? This is just assuming that the market is going to go lower than it currently is, which is just as much a gamble as thinking it'll go up for the next year.

In short, don't try to guess the market and keep some magical percent of cash/investments unless you have the means to gamble that money. Talk to a financial advisor and choose a risk-based investment strategy that makes sense for your point in life.

“When stocks are great”… ie buy low sell high, easy to say but damn near impossible to do.

He didn’t say “could have” though did he? They never do.

Ive even seen good managers hold a few incompetents on purpose in preparation of layoff cycles in larger companies that do them consistently.

… So you let them enjoy work but fucked them on salary?

Have juniors plan out work first in design doc form and broken up into small deliverables. Helps to catch things early when they start down a rabbit hole.

You’re missing the point, it’s not about scrum it’s about making the work look like it’s way more than it is to pad the metric.

All they figured out was that the smart people hung out together.
