ymmv but I have found development on a high spec'd ubuntu machine vs macos to be a much less irksome experience. For most of my developers hardware is the biggest constraint, not the os. I am excited to start evaluating the m* macs onc

Macbooks for development are extremely over priced and under powered. In your average light tech sv-inspired web startup you will see them, but it drops off as you start moving into actual engineering.

I remember speaking to a few aid workers who were trying to get FB to donate to their efforts. To my knowledge they never received any money. If anyone can fact check that I would love to be corrected.

There are several. A key thing to look for is whether or not the charity is focused on relocation. The conditions they were in while I was there were horrendous. The largest camp I visited was over 600k people. I was working with a few orga

Same could be said of tesla, yet they are one of the biggest companies on the planet now and just made Elon the richest man on the planet.

This is why I have a hard time calling web developers "software engineers". There are definitely some exceptions, but most web devs I have met are glorified technicians stringing together apis while reading medium posts.

I volunteered at the Rohingya camps in Bangladesh while this was happening. Most of them were aware of this and attempted to stay ahead of the raids by monitoring some of the groups. Their stories are horrific and to this day I have bad dre

It blows my mind that a chat client is worth over 26 times what Boston Dynamics is.

I have been having ongoing arguments on this forum with people who just refuse to accept the reality of what is happening. I think there is a serious mental health crisis in the US right now, and that the majority of Trump supporters are me

Apple is perfectly within their rights as a private company to ban applications from their platform solely based on it's user base being a huge gaggle of toxic assholes. I don't think you will find any sympathy for neo-fascists he

Just some casual murder and terrorism. These people look real "caught up in the moment". https://teddit.net/r/PublicFreakout/comments/kucaz0/the_mome...

I agree that it was a lame coup, but that is par for the course with anything the right attempts. They failed but it wasn't for lack of trying. A terrorist is anyone who perpetuates violence in order to achieve a political goal, and it

"March down to the capitol" "We are coming for you" "We will never take this country back with weakness" "Trial by combat" I don't know if you are being intentionally obtuse and trolling or just

Do you know of anyone who has taken a similar approach to ui design and development?

What is and what is not protected speech has been pretty clearly defined over the years. Honestly though it doesn't matter because these are private companies. Parler has failed to moderate extremist content and is acting as a platform

They didn't touch their content, they just made a choice as a business not to allow it on their platform. Free market capitalism's a bitch right?

I am an American expat who has been living in Thailand since Trump was elected. I can forgive uncertainty about covid until March, despite my part of the world taking it very seriously. After that point I think America as a whole, and the T

It fails at real time communication compared to competitors in that space (every chat client).

It's more about how such an objectively bad interface can be so popular. I'm genuinely curious if there is something good here that I am missing. And no, I'm not going to just get over it or install another app to compensate

They didn't censor anything, they chose not to host it. Parler made choices as a product to host virulent seditionist rhetoric without moderation and are facing the consequences. If they had structured their product and infrastructure

I would like to see wikipedia move it's database to a decentralized model, something similar to a blockchain ledger. I would definitely consider contributing and donating to an effort that opened up it's content and moderation fur

Politics aside, I think twitter has some of the worst UX on the web. To this day I don't understand how people actually get useful information out of this nightmare.

Implicitly comparing two regressive and violent ideoleolgies seems extremely appropriate. I think it says a lot that taking steps to limit violent hate rhetoric is seen as "suppressing conservatives". If the two cannot be separate

Are you fucking kidding me? They were chanting "Hang Pence", they had guns, they killed a police officer, they setup a fucking gallows. They were seeking hostages and a few guards and chair barricade were the only thing preventing

Parler should be blocked wholesale, it is acting as an unmoderated radicalization engine for terrorists that attempted a coup. They are actively planning another attempt as we speak. You are defending a group of people that has shown they a
