They didn't seem to mind him running Worldcoin though. Doing two (several) jobs problem came later and this explanation doesn't really address this.

Personally I don't care if pg is completely honest or if sam was fired or not. It doesn't have meaningful impact on my view of either.

The article is from 2019.

Personally I’d focus on arguments instead of motivations and skip arguing with those were it seems it will be or when it becomes unproductive.

Here (Slovenia) that is a lot of hassle for no personal benefit. Public charging is expensive enough that you'll never recuperate the higher price of the vehicle (if you can't charge at home).

So, the gist of their argument is that DMA is bad because it is forcing them to disable certain features (some of which I found useful and miss) which is detrimental to search users because the results that THEY GENERATE are not good enough?

(I know this is not a completely accurate summary)

Culture is more than language (and as Slovenian our language is different too). You don't have to spend a lot of time in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia to be able to see that they are culturally very different.

I also disagree that it was more multi-cultural than new countries are now. Possibly true at the beginning of 90s, definitely not true for Slovenia now.

I agree with the advice which is what we do. Average home user (with emphasis on average) doesn't have 40TB, but a "normal" non-professional one might.

We have about 9TB of photos. I can easily imagine someone like us, who is into video, of having more than 40TB of videos.

Maybe they stopped new subscriptions, but I'm still paying for Netflix through Apple.

How does this work?

Our fridge is most of the time fairly full so I have a hard time imagining where would I put a camera to get a good overview of its contents. It seems that the best place is about half a meter outside. Even a fisheye would not be able to cover both door and the rest of it.

They are not mites and happily live elsewhere.

There IS a name already. It's literate ;)

Seriously though, I don't mind people who don't as long as its decipherable, but I find it odd giving punctuation (or lack of it) some value judgement.

Same

Like mine do. And most messages I receive. I find it weird that some started seeing punctuation as some weird imposition.

yes

What unholy hacks? AmigaOS had preemptive multitasking and I often ran more than one thing at the same time.

They solved it in a way where they don't guarantee you that it is water proof for more than 2 years without service and appropriate maintenance and it stops being water proof as soon as you open it.

How is it shameful if nobody can think of a solution? What is there to be ashamed of, lack of omnipotence?

Tragic, disappointing sure. I also happen to disagree that it is ignored or forgotten, this article just being the latest example.

We do, just not on every tool and widget.

I think you make a lot of insulting assumptions about other people. I'm sure there are many who are more frugal than me for their personal reasons, but it's not some personal failure not to be persuaded to rent a particular product.

I haven't been to a conference in years because of COVID, but I've been to plenty mainly web and Python related before.

Almost all of them had keynote speakers, who received a prominent spot, usually in the morning and on multi-tier conferences the only talk scheduled at that time slot. Based on content of most of those talks the expectation was to take a wider or deeper or just different look at our fields and not mainly present a smaller idea or solution.

But it also doesn't matter if you or I personally do or don't care about distinction. There is one made clearly and as soon as it is made, there is an implicit promotion or demotion depending on which way a person is being moved and one should have very good reasons to demote anyone publicly as they did here.

Clearly not from practice and hard to see why since their whole point is transporting enemies where you don't want them.

I beg to differ. Nothing more miserable than debugging email templates with tables nested to the x-th degree.

On the other hand, I enjoyed using them last year while in London for work. Could get to our office quicker than using public transport, it was more pleasant than stuck in hot boxes moving around and only slightly more expensive (at least in my case).

How about you also check poverty rates, rents and housing availability, standard of living, not just counting those employed (which includes zero contract hours...)?

UK is not doing well and moving to the incredibly expensive London is not some easy fix you think it is.

I don't see white women standing out in their behaviour, but they sure will always remain an acceptable group to beat up on without losing your progressive or otherwise credentials.

Karen at this point is always pejorative and pretty much just not well hidden sexism at best.

And then what?

I'm genuinely curious as a loved one rejects therapy exactly because she already knows what causes of her depression are and does not see any use in debating them further as they only bring her down.

I don't have experience or knowledge to explain how it would help her.

Good point. My ignorance back then certainly could have played a part in my perception, but I don't think I am wrong :) I could go into details why, but I doubt specifics would be interesting to anyone.

I do agree that personal ignorance can make competency look more amazing.

Or just start early. I learned vi in Uni as part of our course and it's always there so I keep using it (but not solely).

At the beginning of my career I worked in a team of 6 developers. Everyone except me was at least a competent developer. One of us did literally 80% of work. Company was paid by head so it didn't care about productivity of others and our client (HP) was happy.

Hence I know that incredibly productive developers exist, but they are also rare since he was the only one that really qualified in more than 20 years of my career.

Because they are rare I don't care how to test for them as it is very unlikely I'll cross path with any when searching for new team members (not sexy enough work) and just try to focus on finding competent reliable people.

This one really irks me for a couple of reasons. My wife and I have a friend whose partner is pretty despicable person. He didn't used to be before they got kids and kind of evolved into what he is now.

First, with couples in long relationships who they are now tells you little about who they were when they met and why they are still together.

Second, you have no idea what their relationship is like. You can't tell at a dinner party if they value the things you value in their partner or are bothered by same things. Nobody gets a perfect specimen matching their desires and needs including my wife.
