Did anyone here actually read the article? The author is not putting the usefulness of good engineering management into question. He is criticizing the culture around the organization of knowledge work. If the hat doesn't fit, don&#x27

Total chicken and egg scenario. That's often the case with monopolies. However, to my knowledge Youtube doesn't force its content creators into exclusivity deals (like, say, Amazon with Kindle Direct) so there may be some leeway t

There's a "prepare, Jesus is coming" ad next to my workplace. It honestly looks like a grift. That sort of thing is NOT normal at all where I live. I'm honestly tempted. Would be even more stupid to try after writing thi

They're not going away, point. If they get you acclimated to paying subscription fees they will then try to get you acclimated to paying subscription fees AND seeing ads. Have you watched a UFC pay-per-view event recently? We should re

Microsoft littered its frickin operating system with ads. Something you (officially at least) are expected to pay full price for. It boggles the mind that people continue to accept this treatment.

Incidentally, yes. I get to choose what my computer displays to me and that's non-negotiable however. If that breaks your business model that is 100% a you problem.

I don't really care about their bottom line. They're the middle-men. Virtual landlords. They're there to squeeze the lemon. Not to say that the service they provide isn't useful. It's obviously more economical to op

I categorically reject ads. I want them completely abolished. I will do everything that's in my power to get them out of my machines. If I had just a little bit more courage I would go out at night with cans of spray paint and deface b

Things got so bad that eventually browser vendors single-handedly put a stop to it. That would never have happened if the people making the pop-up ads also controlled a majority of the browser market.

I agree, but some notoriously litigious companies probably will not.

There are countless examples of anticompetitive conduct going all the way back to prehistory. The legal vocabulary around it pretty extensive. Since this is HN though maybe these will ring a bell : * Intel's rebate program ( https:&#x2

This looks like an appeal to nature, concerning a form of conduct that could just as well be conditioned in individuals. It also seems to place the government in direct opposition with the wants of consumers, without acknowledging at all th

It really depends on what you mean by "enough". If the native audio stack does the real heavy lifting, and the plugins are compiled to WASM, it'd probably be more than enough for most use cases. People were mixing digitally d

That's extremely interesting. When a plugin crashes, what happens to the rest of the signal chain?

I just don't think an audio plugin should be able to bring down the entire host application due to bad memory management.

This seems to be a cyclical thing. Every now and then a new solution shows up that is built on new development and UX practices, abandons some baggage that is no longer relevant to most users, makes assumptions in its design that are better

Well, if work isn't a popularity contest, then who gives a damn what you imagine people at SpaceX think of "woke pests"? All it does it make you sound angry.

Yes/no/unspecified is a good match for something like `Option<bool>` or `bool?`. Their usage covers every case and nothing needs to be elucidated. With that said, in a language that supports null and has no compile-time mech

Lots of people can hear you on Substack, Gab, etc. Accept that other people will practice their right not to associate with you. If so many of you aren't going to admit someone else's right not to be fired for trivialities then I
