Reader seems to be broken on iOS Safari—after the first few paragraphs sentences start repeating 8 or so times in a row
Plus the longer paragraphs, confined to the height of their parent image, are cut off on my iPhone mini, leading to sections reading e.g.:
> controls with GUIs—graphical user interfaces. We skeumorphed the heck out of our screens, with digital switches, flat sliders, and folder icons. But we kept some of the the functionality in the physical world, with slots to stick disks into and big
...and about twice what it was 50 years ago. How have Sweden, Japan, France, etc. managed to keep income inequality around postwar lows while America hasn't?
Not sure, but it seems in France the situation in degrading. The same 1% being richer while workers / students waiting in line for food charity stories were common. Part of it might be due to COVID, but I can't shake the feeling that business management (influenced by anglo-saxon/american culture) is harder than before and squeezes employees. Not only a feeling, I worked on precarious jobs that shouldn't exist, and we saw employees having materially impossible daily duties (due to bad software unable to organize things).
I suspect that people self-manage a lot more if the pay is right. If they stop doing that it seems like you need a more expensive manager, or perhaps you do.
well partly but my comment was more systemic, a lot of "new management" was about naive quantitative approaches. measure stupid traces / outputs and forcing people to hit target objectives without looking at the workflow, tooling and team dynamics
people with enough skill and compatible mindsets need no management, they care, they will innovate, improve, repair
if the structure is at odds with that, they will ask to compensate the pain by large salary bumps because pleasure is turned into pain
I suspect that the parent poster is morally opposed to them as well, even if they don’t regularly make baseless claims on platforms they bought to make baseless claims on
Commentary on stuff I find online, public-facing journal at irregular intervals, collection of book reviews. Skews web-dev. I’m trying to use it as an archive of what I’ve been thinking about recently—the idea is that the primary audience is me, but 5 years from now.
This isn’t a mass consumer device. $3500 is what Apple’s charging to folks with great ideas who want to dictate what the future of “special computing” looks like. This is for early adopters pretty much exclusively.
The rest of us will get the apple vision se in 2028 when the territory’s been mapped out
It’s one thing to say that you’ll keep the data private between you, but from the user’s perspective there’s no guarantee. Whether that’s because you change your mind and decide to sell the user’s data, or there’s some sorta data breach, or or or.
The problem here is that the “move left to expand left” and “move right to expand right” doesn’t map mentally to the way a cursor works.
With a traditional cursor, it places an anchor wherever you’ve moused down and then drags the selection around that anchor.
Whereas with Haptic Touch selection, there’s no anchor, so you find yourself selecting text you didn’t mean to. I’m sure that once you’ve gotten used to it, it’s a nice feature; but it’s not intuitive if you’re not accustomed to it (which seems to be the majority of folks).
I enabled arrows keys on every single keyboard on the Android devices I owned. I use them to move the cursor and fix mistakes, usually by tapping and adjusting with the arrows. Faster than attempting to tap at the right spot. Are there no arrows on iOS keyboards?
The JS ecosystem seems a lot more hesitant to bundle features into frameworks à la Rails/Laravel & friends, but Redwood.js sounds like what you're looking for. The ORM it uses is Prisma, which works really well on its own too.
Prisma is a nice product but I wouldn’t use it in production yet. It is prone to race conditions as it does not use native upserts, opting instead for Rails-style check-if-exists-insert-if-doesnt.
Redwood and Prisma look nice! But what I like more is a focus on serverside rendering and as few build steps as possible, like Fresh. I also find Deno more appealing than Node (simplicity).
But yes, I guess if I would need to pick a more mature framework with JS, Redwood would be the way to go.
I mean, you don't. You have to trust the maintainers of the software you use, to a certain degree, or spend a majority of your time auditing the software you use.
That being said, Brave is pretty upfront about the security of their software. They've paid $25k in bug/security bounties so far and their browser is open source. So if an update turns evil, it stands to reason that someone is going to notice.
