In my experience: the FE engineering fields (web FE, Android, iOS) are probably (very slightly) less in demand than most others. I think that's primarily because: the technology has calcified (in a good way), and there's tons of b

I mostly agree. Having a healthy browser landscape is important for user privacy and accessible/equitable access to the internet, but I'm not seeing the evidence as to why that same argument extends to multiple independent engine

I feel it's difficult to have good discussion if that's the stance their developer evangelist approaches this topic from. Not only is it tacitly offensive to men, but it marginalizes the women who develop for Safari and have exper

I disagree with this stance. To me, the community take on "stdlib vs libraries" is a cyclical thing; we're coming out of a cycle led by JavaScript/NPM, where everything is a library due in no small part to how HORRIBLE J

What is your response to the argument that, at its core, Web2 is just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? That's all Web1 tech. Does Web2 deserve the same criticism you levy against Web3, for standing on the shoulders of giants? Or, is this jus

Its very cool, technically. My biggest issue with a lot of the defi lending stuff is that it attempts to mix the on-chain concept of immutable trust, with the human and legal-level trust necessary to facilitate lending. When I borrow money

Even reaching for an analogy like the "gold rush" is bad discussion: the American gold rush was directly responsible for the rapid colonization of the west, which had negatives, but today is home to the most economically prosperou

Web3 has already changed the world. Not by much, but the statement doesn't make promises as to how much it has to in order to qualify for "changing the world". > it’s clear that Web3 is just a new spin on the same blockcha

For me, while eink devices are better for the eyes, there's practically no difference in my comprehension and retention between eink and LCD; both are markedly worse than a physical book. It's not, for me at least, the distraction

My default assumption when interfacing with anything created by YouTube is that the people working on it have, naturally, as much of a clue as anyone, but observing them act with wisdom on that clue is a rare event given the carbon monoxide

My guess is far more benign: YouTube operates one of the world's largest CDNs. It takes time to saturate that CDN, but it's necessary in order to serve many of the largest content creators. If a small video, from a historically sm

I think there's a misunderstanding of my comment; I am not asserting that the AB purchase was bad for Microsoft. Just that this Sony/Bungie purchase will be better for Sony than AB will be for Microsoft. Both platforms will see

The bigger issue is simply that video games aren't made like movies/television. They're very different. Video games are very distributed. Its the work of a system of people, from high level concept artists building a shared m

Its important to put the Returnal numbers in context: it was never supposed to be a triple-A hit. Housemarque is a small (50-100 people) studio that traditionally made top-down or side-scrolling bullet hell shooters; they developed Returnal

Sure; and the unfortunate reality is, Fallout 4 was released nearly 8 years ago. Dishonored: 10. Dishonored 2: 6. id definitely puts out super solid stuff, consistently. Arkane is also in that bucket (Deathloop is the better example to judg

First of all; the original acquisition is not what I was referring to, but rather: Microsoft's "maintenance" of the Halo IP after Bungie itself left Microsoft's domain, and the formation of a near-entirely new studio (34

Outside looking in, this feels like a far more valuable acquisition than Activision for $69B. Call of Duty is valuable, but Microsoft has already said they don't intend to remove it from PlayStation. That could change, but so could CoD

Its only defeatist if you give up. And that's effectively what our leadership has done; keep screeching about masks and vaccinations, some listen, some don't, and nothing changes. The curve keeps oscillating. Ok; recognize that. P

Then if not Joe, who would his audience listen to? Shapiro? The next guy? You cannot, and shouldn't, sculpt a model of society where anyone who speaks out loud needs to speak with journalistic and scientific integrity. It cannot work;

Correct, with the key word being "suddenly". Nothing happens suddenly; but its a necessary step toward longer-term healing of trust.

Somehow, inexplicably, some of our governments believed it a good idea to delegate underpaid, overworked individuals at private companies to the role of vaccine police. At best, its virtue signal posturing; ineffectual. The far scarier take

Owning Sony XM4s, Galaxy Buds Pros, Bose QC, and Airpods Pros: that's an extreme take. All of these devices "just work" and "don't just work" in nearly the same ways. The microphone quality is a tin can on all

Its mostly just "economics 101" stuff; how it plays out in reality is different, and your analysis isn't wrong. Inflation is good for debtors if wage keeps pace with inflation. That's it. Taken to the extreme: Imagine I

The bigger issue isn't just a decrease in consumer spending; it's a decrease in investment (public markets, private equity, consumer loans, etc). If a bank can just sit on their dollars, and see a guaranteed rate of return potenti

The idea that "printing money leads to inflation" is startlingly overblown as the most impactful source of what causes it. It certainly can; but its explicative popularity is mostly the result of it being really easy to explain to

Oh to be clear, this has nothing to do with the original submission; that's a false-positive copyright issue which is global and probably applies to personal accounts as well as G-Suite. That cannot be turned off. DLP (data loss preven

This isn't some default thing on G-Suite; its the DLP setting which enterprises can elect to toggle on, if they pay for the most expensive G-Suite plan. It also, afaik, only applies to shared files. It does not work, in such a myriad o
