If you truly believe what you say, the solution is obvious: commit to letting users store history only on their own device, with no syncing. Not even to other devices, which I don't need 99% of the time.
Local storage exists, let me use it. Otherwise the only thing you are committed to is never giving users autonomy.
It continues to amaze me how people go along with this.
The shots don't do what was promised. For healthy kids and young people, it is absolutely counterproductive to inject them. It will cause more hospitalizations through side effects than they will prevent.
What's more, there is now mounting evidence that omicron favors people who have gotten jabbed. So any notion that you get the jab to protect others is now also in question.
Finally, it is now also clear that these shots could have never created herd immunity, because an intramuscular shot does not create an immune response in the mucus membranes, which is your actual first line of defense. So the entirely sales pitch for the shots is also in question.
All of this is easy to find if you just bother to actually look around.
Stop applauding this, it's unethical and it just serves to cover up the failed promises of shitty politicians, shitty scientists, and their hysterical fans.
The one thing I would ask this person is how big and complex a system they've built like this.
Because if you optimize all the slack out of a system, you have no room to manoeuvre. In this case, you need to update all your code and dbs all at once if any type changes. Because it's all linked.
In my experience this is not feasible one you reach a certain size. You need to be able to upgrade parts in isolation while keeping the majority working without touching it.
It is odd that a company so focused on diversity forces everyone to adapt to the information processing capabilities of the stupid. Or maybe not odd at all.
What's going on is that UI designers keep thinking people care more about balancing negative and positive space than seeing all the information they want. At the same time, UI customizability has gone out of fashion. So we get lowest common denominator mediocrity that looks good in a slide show but is awful to use for serious work.
No company should have full time UI designers on staff. Eventually they look for reasons to justify themselves, and start ruining things that were perfectly fine.
Funny, when this happens in the other direction it's called harassment.
The guilt by association here is transparent, as is the implication that it's okay because it's hitting the "right" people, i.e. the right. Who are then immediately labeled far-right by fiat.
Far left extremists are far too high on their own supply, and are torching the principles of free society left and right. And they still somehow think they wouldn't have been the baddies 80 years ago.
This is very cool, and ambitious, but i have one major objection: the claim that web apps are an about unidirectional data flow from a managed data store to a consuming front end.
That's not the kind of apps I want to build. I want workspaces where I can make and edit and work freely. I don't care to be online to do it, and conserving bandwidth is not a constraint that should define how I use it.
Funny. People being childish and mean spirited for their own petty complexes is how I would describe the response. They couldn't just let it slide. The idea that intent doesn't matter, and the most hysterical reaction should be validated, is a recipe for feedback loops of drama and cluster B.
Who raised these children? How do they function in the real world, if their response to some snark is to set up a massive campaign to discredit the person responsible and ban them from a community? This is a whole kitchen of pots calling the kettle black.
Luckily this is only about Go. It could've been about a programming language with a future, taste or any good ideas whatsoever. That would've been a shame.
The software on ebook readers seems awful, and the responsiveness nihil. Years of upgraded models haven't changed this. Reading PDFs was borderline impossible because in addition to being slow, my device didn't even cache the previous/next page... Even though there is ample time to do so while you are reading.
The fact that it didn't occur to anyone involved to do so should be all you need to know to avoid the entire product category.
In a parallel universe, a company would've treated e-ink as a medium in its own right instead of as a webkit front end. They made the same mistake that html/css did: locking in the capabilities before they understood what people needed it to do.
You're literally doing the thing where you rephrase things to put words in his mouth. Either you are incapable of entertaining certain thoughts dispassionately, or you're on a quest to paint him with the worst brush. Oddly, you don't seem to be aware that you're doing it. Reminds me of the Remove Stallman affair. When autism meets normies, the normies shriek and start reading moral judgements into things.
e.g Black people do have a lower IQ, in aggregate, in the US. Are we supposed to pretend that's not true when it's been measured?
Kinda. Many Americans run around with a notion of some kind of noble entrepreneur who provides the bounty of endless choice in consumer goods, even if it's a corporation. The fact that many different brands come from the same factory tends to be overlooked. Americans are also unique in their tolerance for constant advertising where other cultures would consider it gauche and intrusive.
TikTok is imo goddamn scary. It is explicitly set up to hook people with gamification techniques, showering likes on new users so they come back for more. Only the subject matter is often politics, activism and intertribal warfare.
This self flagellation of privilege is tiresome and entirely beside the point.
If this person thinks the world would be better if their job was done by a woman or a brown person, they should quit and go look for their replacement. We all know they won't.
I wanted to know what it was like to work with Deno. Is this person trying to say the entire community is full of cordycepted progressives?
Yes but they're mostly related to Muslims which means they can never be talked about openly in any sane or productive way. Because that's "racist" too.
