Apple is the company that makes laptops without power LEDs so you can't even tell if they're on.

Meanwhile the main reason I stay with Android is because of the ability to sideload, write your own apps, etc. without paying a subscription fee.

> I can't fully agree because the way I see it, that is in a way scapegoating the company executives.

Frankly, that's what the money's for.

I really wish this existed for web as well. Why do I have to transfer photos to my phone in order to run ID on them?

People love to say things like this. In my experience on both sides of these coding interviews in FAANG companies, the questions are basically never algorithmically intensive.

The furthest I've ever seen it go in practice: binary search, BFS/DFS, hash tables. I've never seen any more obscure algorithmic trick than standard uses of these algorithms and data structures.

I'm not saying leetcode doesn't have more insane questions, but interviews tend to be straightforward.

I've used `tig` for this sort of thing for well over a decade. `tig status` lets you see all files, interactively add things, whatever.

If these things aren't advertised or even made visible in any way other than the user happening to discover them, they're not sales tactics, they're just scumbag business tactics to prevent pricing transparency.

Many basic financial assumptions regarding the free market are premised on the fact that you can figure out the lowest price a vendor is willing to charge for a good and compare that with how much you're willing to pay for it. Obfuscating this is bad for consumers.

Indeed, even the OpenAI CFO continues to actively await them.

> end up being extremely successful

At making money, likely true. Leaving a trail of destruction in your wake is just not my idea of success.

The AI results are also going to be filled with that kind of trash if they aren't already.

If there's one thing I know about 18-24 year olds, it's that they love sending emails!

> for 5 seconds spent on finding the button the first time, one will use this same button thousands of time and know perfectly where it is.

Quite a lot of UX design these days is only made for initial interactivity smoothness without the realization that it really does matter how something feels the 1000th time you do it (especially with how often we use our phones now).

I'll generally excuse things like laziness and incompetence, because I understand that not everyone is good at their jobs.

But this:

> You have to do extra work to fuck it up!

resonates so hard. I get so angry at people who take extra time out of their day to put so much effort into making things worse. So many things on the internet are fine, but people spend so much on making them worse. Who is this good for? Not me, and likely not the person who wasted their time ruining functional things.
