Thanks for the article, I’m not American nor do I live there so I’m not so well versed on US labour law and unions. From reading the article however it seems this issue was particular to rail union workers? > Unlike the National Labor Re

I wonder if more and more of these ethical issues will be what pushes tech workers to unionise rather than working conditions.

Recently worked on an iOS app with the exact same thing, delays inserted on every write which was basically instant as it was writing to SQLite. Client refused to remove it too, you need to pick your battles as a freelancer to get anything

So an area becomes more attractive and those with higher purchasing power drive out the original inhabitants? So… how is this different to normal gentrification? Why is the fact that it’s parks and green spaces relevant?

I feel it should be the opposite. If Apple is heading in the direction of more service revenue and is forced to compete on a level playing field with competitors like Spotify, for example, wouldn't this encourage them to improve Apple

The software you like isn't going anywhere and you don't have to change any of those defaults. The mac allows you to change defaults and install whatever you want and it's still a great platform.

Thanks for your work on this I had no idea it existed, definitely going to try it out.

The ship has sailed on nuclear for Germany no matter where you stand on the topic and there’s not a lot of valuable discussion left to warrant trotting this point out at every opportunity.

Yeah event sourcing and what you described is what these libraries are calling delta CRDTs. The appeal is they’re hiding away the actual event log, metadata and rebasing/merging parts and exposing data types that look something like wh

The point is that they all eventually converge on the same value, and can do that independent of some centralised merging location, rather than the exact way in which they do that, whether that's LLW or anything else.

by jamil7 4y ago
No but since they’re all getting merged in one place you don’t really need a CRDT for that although you could. That was my point.

Their linked summary mentions Peritext and the current limitations. Agree it’s exciting though and you can implement it fairly easily yourself by following the blog post as it’s so well written and explained.

by jamil7 4y ago
The article talks about this, in the case where your clients are syncing with a centralised server you don't necessarily need to use CRDTs, and it might be simpler not to.

No, it took me a bit to understand as well. It looks like a set of host SDKs and a sandboxed runtime (guessing this is why they're using wasm) you can drop into your own software and expose some hooks that would allow your users to wri

It's not offensive as much as it's kind of odd sounding, and would feel awkward pitching to someone else.

The parent comment didn't say they are. It's a very well known talk in which the speaker describes a hypothetical future technology that looks a lot like WASM.

I think most proponents would say it replaces existing forms of welfare, some pitch it as being cheaper since one can remove a lot of overhead by having everyone be eligible.

I don't agree. I could see UBI keeping a roof over someone with a crippling drinking problems head or giving someone with severe mental health issues enough bandwidth to seek treatment, or at the very least sheltered.

Agree, I tend to go through my work with `git add --patch` and committing that way. I find it also works as a quick refresh on what you actually did and helps you decide how/if to split up your work into multiple commits.

Oh yeah that period was rough. Xcode and Swift are a lot more stable these days. I guess my experience is also tainted by webpack-heavy JS work from years ago that was a dependency/tooling nightmare. It seems better now with the newer
