I look forward to $1000 cleaning fees.

Yes, some consumers are bad too. You didn’t engage with my point though. Have you had generally good experiences trying to resolve disputes with merchants directly as a consumer?

> Instead the consumer should contact the merchant directly to resolve the dispute.

Hahaha. Have you tried this recently? I had a company ship us defective baby food with broken seals. They said they couldn’t refund but they were happy to ship us a replacement. When we said we wanted a refund instead, they said “whoops we already shipped it”. It arrived with more broken seals. I issued a chargeback. Got my money instantly.

Some merchants are bad. Visa’s whole value to me is that they insure me against these situations.

The maintainer owes you nothing. One of the points of open source is that if you need something, you have the source. Fork.

The point is that there are lots of humans who speak these languages and use tech. They just don’t use Wikipedia so getting a good translation corpus going was harder.

It is quite common. Take this screenshot of Youtube: https://imgur.com/a/nxGdcWj

The comments total at the top and each of the thread counts need to be kept in sync with their corresponding inline list representations.

Most lists in apps display a total count summary. This is even more common on desktop, where you have room to display more info.

The problem isn’t that the internet is too big. It’s that Google and the internet grew apart from each other.

Some old sites never upgraded to https or other technical demands Google made of them. Google chose to stop indexing these sites to force them to change their behavior.

Most new content is trapped in walled gardens of some format. The one I see all the time is Discord, but the communities you care about are probably talking in a non-indexable group chat rather than an indexable Internet forum like they might have 20 years ago.

Yeah this. The classic is unread state in a mail app. Unread state is usually displayed both as bold state per message in a message list, and as a count in the folder list. These need to stay in sync as the user reads mail (and sometimes marks read state explicitly). Two views of the same underlying state.

How do changes to that cache get displayed? Your cache emits events that each UI element has to listen to? Congrats you’re using redux!

(It would perhaps be more accurate to say that React folks had to reinvent these patterns, but the problems were definitely present in the postback era)

This is true until your customers complain that your UI is super slow. You realize they’re trying to use your app from a cell phone with poor service. So you have the genius idea to add optimistic updates in JS. Now you have all the problems from the article since you need to update all the components everywhere on screen that share state.

The boring answer is probably something along the lines of “copilot was trained by employees of OpenAI who aren’t technically MS employees”. When I worked at MS you had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get access to code from other orgs. I can’t imagine what BS you’d need to do to give access to a vendor.

The thing I like about Copilot is that it breaks the “static friction” I have when I’m sitting down to work on my side project. It makes me more likely to get started.

That said, launching a dev tool without Orgs integration seems dumb. I work for a FAANG and so can’t use this professionally. It’s a totally different price calculation for “programming as entertainment”. Is this worth more than Netflix to me?

Diem was shut down, but a bunch of the same people are trying to keep the project alive as a separate company.

The Democrats control the one spending bill a year subject to the Byrd rule. All other bills require 60 senators.

Public petitions are how most blockchain governance is done. You run a crypto company. What did you expect?

And the unsubscribe feature doesn’t even work.

It’s similar to how whiteboarding is an inaccurate but useful model of coding ability. I’ve had candidates who could answer in general detail how they would implement an algorithm, but struggle to produce working code.

The purpose of these behavioral questions is to get you to produce details about how you actually act at work in challenging circumstances.

If we reject these models I think we’d be stuck with contract-to-hire as our evaluation model which seems more stressful for both sides.

1) Most software isn’t purely a collection of executable code. Usually there’s some configuration stored somewhere. (Files, registry, whatever.) Containerization ensures that we have one self-executing file that contains all of that state.

At this point you might respond with “I could zip up all that state and still make sure it unzips to a single folder” But that leads us to

2) Most production software has at least one dependency that needs isolation. Even if you’re good about making sure that you follow the rules to make folders self-isolating, eventually you’ll have to take a dependency made by someone who isn’t following the rules.

There’s one of these stories every year at WWDC when Apple PMs take top apps and turn them into OS features. “Sherlocked” is a phrase for a reason.

Lol. I signed up to receive an email notification when it launched and I never got it. I guess I’ll go check it out? But yeah it feels like they hired the Quibi guys.

The biggest challenges are people problems. Why the hell don’t we have fiber to the home in most of America? Regulatory capture and market failures.

I searched for hummus recipes and got normal internet search results

It’s not whattaboutism if they’re linked. The two actions are by belligerents in the same conflict.

EDIT: I’m also calling it whattaboutism because I don’t think folks are actually arguing that other nations should have entered the Iraq war on the side of Iraq or ISIS. If they’re legit arguing that, it’s valid (though I disagree).

I think the way MVP is usually quoted at people is confusing. It should be something like “maximize the amount of feedback you’re getting from customers”.

So much whattaboutism in this thread. We are at war. Seizing property of the other belligerents is a very normal thing to do in a war. Russia is currently seizing assets from American companies who leave the country.

Russia is currently bombing Ukrainian hospitals. This is a somewhat tame escalation in that light.

That show that the current interview system filters for “good programmers” as defined by the company’s performance system or whatnot.

I haven’t seen any good data that shows that the current system is actually good at doing that.

We rolled over to state-sponsored election meddling. There’s no way we’re going to care about this.

I was trying to find this blog post when that post whining about pair programming was going around. 1:1 interaction has significant positive effects (even if not quite 2 sigma).
