The methods that are used right now are KNOWN to do not work . When there is a protest, having the police to show up in large numbers riot gear is just going to escalate the tensions and increase the chances of violence. (I am not saying th

we will/would have to stop fucking over black people in America at all the corners for the social contract to have any meaning for them. (and we definitely need to do that)

How is it not philanthropy when there are already skilled workers they could hire right now ?

1 - I am the first one to complain about our broken hiring practices, but just because you get a first interview does not mean you are qualified for the job. 2/3/4 -> FAANG have a ton of money but no incentive at all to spend i

I can maybe help here. Many SV companies are in constant need of more skilled engineers. Since the H1B visa can be transferred, when I arrived in the USA, nothing would have prevented me from going door to door and find a better paying job.

I came to the USA on an H1B visa 2 years ago. On a high salary and with the promise of being sponsored for a green card. I got my green card just before covid impacted the USA and still have a pretty high salary (in the same range of my US

As I understand it, and please correct me if I am wrong INAL, this system is only going to change when the legislation changes.

Been there. I worked for a music streaming company. We never had any problem with Google (admittedly, Google does not care about Google Music and does not know what to do with it, which is a shame) but oh boy, getting an update to come out

I think we agree :) More to the point I believe that both models are necessary in a perfect world .. but not sure they will happen. I too also have way too many mac steam games ... from the very brief period when gaming on a mac was thing

Even something as simple as a weather app needs to pay recurring costs for its API, regardless of user data And thinking about it .. hard to make a good weather app that does not collect your location. Good is relative here, for me a good w

that's how I remember it as well. The first app store on iOS was third party hacks to be able to install 3rd party apps.

Strongly agree with most of the points, but not all. Disagreements : - App updates. I think that the subscription model would be pretty good for apps actually if you could have a micro transaction system. Great quality apps are constantly m

This is sadly too true. I have seen new libraries becoming popular not because they solved their target problem better in a measurable way than the existing ones, but because they used [insert fancy tech that is hype right now]. I have seen

it is also not the job or the prerogative of cops to punish anybody FFS. They have a VERY special role in society where they are authorized to use violence against other citizens. This role absolutely does not include any form of punishment

the state of messaging is quite depressing. You have apple doing its own thing and with apparently no intention to have its communication service on all the major platform. Google doing what google does and running like an headless chicke

agree on the issue but I don't think that Play Services is a great exemple. It has always been closed source and can be replaced in any AOSP build. Google has no obligation to provide open sources apps and services on top of AOSP.

to add on top of what lubonay wrote, this unidirectional data flow allows to solve a wide range of problem in how we handle state (and its changes). so you have - the state, only containing pure java/kotlin objects) - reducers to handl

We are going to have the exact same issue on Android :( Compose (Android's swift UI counterpart) also needs to be compiled to see how your change fare. Even with its preview feature, you need to compile your Compose tree to see how you

Interesting. I love Hollow Knight and all of its characters but I could never take any of the From Software ones seriously (I haven't played all their games though, currently finishing bloodborne). The maniacal laugh almost sounds like

FromSoft also made Armored core, so no. Most often people call these soulslikes. Kind of a dumb name and it might artificially constrain new entries to fit into a Dark Souls shaped hole (for example all these games don't have to have b

The complaint is that the content is getting split among these platforms. Nobody would complain if a Netflix competitor emerged with a library at least as large.
