I went to school with a 30cm ruler in the 80s. As a result I have an instinctual sense for that length.

Legacy pebbles still work great with rebble.io. I still use my pebble time daily connected to my android phone.

> A company facing market dynamism, price competition... Is unlikely to be investing billions in speculative r&d, for example.

The comparison to manufacturing isn't necessary because this seems to be contradicting by much of tech history itself. Plenty of companies have spent plenty of billions on R&D to outpace their real competitors.

If we're to update our view of monopoly (and I agree we should) it should be to clamp down on them even more.

You're misapplying your evaluation here. The most you might say is "don't take front-end Dec advice from them".

Instead of discarding the whole thing, just take what's good and leave the rest.

Many years ago I was a junior developer building cms-backed websites. I had the idea to recreate the database inside the database i.e. tblTables has lists of tables, tblColumns had columns with a tblTables.tableId foreign key etc. I thought it was clever of me to be able to edit the "database" inside the CMS. Except select were stupidly complicated and performance was terrible. SPAs remind me of my "clever" idea. What if we recreate a web browser inside the web browser?

Aside: start getting that exposure to management people now. You can book regular skip levels with your bosses boss and the PMs boss. Better than waiting until you get promoted and having to learn how to do it with a weight of expectation.

It's not so much invalidating Bitcoin - Bitcoin is valid and effective. Unfortunately what it is extremely effective for is money laundering and tax evasion (which was what your original comment seemed to advocate for.)

Yes they are relevant. From the article, skills like "accessibility, progressive enhancement, network performance, interface design and user testing" are relevant to the ultimate goal of producing a web page. Front-end development is not merely implementing a design specification. The skills listed are relevant to transformkng the design specification into a web site/app that runs on the many devices and platforms and is used by a variety of users.

The sea of divs and the abandonment of HTMLs is a result of the poorly built frameworks. Actual HTML and CSS has not abandoned those core ideas, and the frameworks often reimplement native features badly (e.g. the shadcdn radio button example). HTML crafted with care is not a sea of divs, it is markup one can read that logically and cleanly describes what you see.

".. preferences for popular music peak during early adolescence or mid-to-late teens, and that newer or older tracks do not command this same level of affection."

Most people generally don't like new music because it doesn't evoke the same emotions as what we heard at that heightened period of our lives.

Musicians haven't stopped wanting to make music and doing whatever it takes to make it, and commercial interests want to profit from that just like they did back then. There's so much good music being put out all the time, in new and old-fashioned ways.

I couldn't do the mandatory onboarding training at a job once because the course web app had heavy scroll fade, and I got nauseous after a few minutes. I tried every few hours for weeks. Eventually I said I couldn't do it. They had to print it out to pdf for me, and gave me a pass on the courses that were dependent on animation to work.

I tried a web search for "Minimal text editor" and Minimal vs Obsidian" and couldn't find any results that seemed to be an obsidian or notion equivalent.

It's obvious from the context here what the intended meaning was. Everyone makes typos sometimes.

I think this Veritasium video might speak to your questions: https://youtu.be/XX7PdJIGiCw?si=5lwB3rsFNKuXyMfA

What you're describing is making work useful, not meaningful. More people nowadays are rejecting work that has no meaning, connection to identity and makes no use of their intellect, even if that work is a means of some income.

I had a problem where it was not possible to include people from different organisations. Once you have more than one external organisation involved, I have to manage how they join and whether "external" or "guest". This makes it difficult or even impossible to set up the channel/chat with the people you want. This is entirely a Teams limitation.

Slack does not have these artificial barriers. You can invite single channel guests, or add them as full-fledged members. It's simple and logical.

I hear you about these being a bunch of different branches of Christianity. But the difference between branches of Protestantism and Catholicism is old and significant.

It'd be like saying "Talking about Rust is segregational. It's just all branches of programming languages starting with C". Technically true, but not a useful distinction.

Uh, what? The article is on a site called coolmomtech.com. The article is going to be about kids because it's aimed at mom's.

Those darn millennials even think they invented being jaded hipsters.

I like this concept, now how does one tell the difference between a tenacious insider with a crazy idea that just might work, and a tenacious insider with a horrible idea that they just won't let go of?

Are you wishing that the current usage of the word (the title you linked to) would stop, and that usage would revert to the older Latin meaning? Unfortunately that's not how language develops.

The title needs a (2014)

This seems to be an advertorial. Even when it talks about what's missing it shrugs it off like an unrealistic demand:

Here are two articles that gave me insight: http://mondediplo.com/2013/05/04income and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINCOME

Basically, people who were working out of desperation worked less, otherwise people used the money to ensure food safety, invest in businesses or improving their lives.

I really don't think "lazy" is a valuable label. It tends to be applied when there are underlying causes for the supposed "laziness". When those causes are repaired the laziness tends to go away. For example: illness, precarity, hopelessness (as you mentioned), a lack of opportunities. I'd suggest doing away with the overly simplistic "lazy" and using more accurate words which express the underlying causes.

> lazy people can get in the trap to become trapped in a lazy for ever state

Do you have any evidence for the existence of these lazy people, and in any significant number? The literature and actual experiments done with basic income shows that people are not lazy, but rather they lack opportunities, or a safety net for small risks, or any of a number of other things.

Your best bet at stopping a false meme is to replace it with a better one. What do you recommend?

I would disagree that they are soft questions and just say that they're just bad and useless questions. The expectation tends to be that the candidate takes whatever is thrown at them, and in practice it does make a little sense: once you're in the interview, you're in the interview. But here, commenting on a forum, I'd rather push back and ask interviewers to stop asking questions that don't achieve anything useful, and won't achieve the insights they might imagine.

So instead of soft questions asking about hobbies, and excluding all the many examples of people families, why not talk about interesting on-the-job experiences? As one example. Interviewing well is a tough gig, but that's no excuse for continuing to do it poorly.

Thank you, that's really useful.
