I didn't know how to voice my feelings and thoughts on this, but your post sums it all up perfectly. Thank you.

It would be a legal request via Apple. But from a truly practical point of view, TikTok will just end up replaced by a homegrown version. The real question is, who's homegrown version will be the winner? I believe FB and Snap are both

That's my fear too. People have such short memories, and media cycles are too quick. I'm the least fan of Trump, but this is truly one area that the US is taking a stronger stance on than even in my own home country (which I consi

Unless there's a third path, there really is no choice but to act in kind.

Without a credible source to back up your assertion that "their data collection is so much more powerful", this is a pretty empty statement. I also believe that we need to have a healthy concern for Chinese friendly agents/re

This is correct. It's unfortunate, but unless you can mandate Google to change their entire interviewing regime, you have to simply understand that this is the perspective, and move forward demonstrating yourself against this criteria,

Perhaps they shorted Twitter, before this huge public demonstration? I hadn't considered it until your message, but it makes the most sense to me.

That makes no sense. The BTC show increases general public suspicion in a huge way. It would be counteractive, if they are also doing what you say.

This is the correct answer. User-controlled blocking systems will work well.

I'll admit, I'm super impressed with this system. It doesn't exist in my home country, whistleblowers are actually treated very poorly here. Whatever else you can say about the US, their whistleblower system absolutely is a g

Exactly this. It's mostly lost on engineers that unit tests are usually testing at the layer that changes the most anyway - though the pain is felt once any real refactoring effort begins.

I think this is part of the problem. Unit tests are an easy path to fall down, because they're clearly easier to setup, to write for, require less effort to maintain, execute more quickly. But you don't realise their significant d

That's not correct. All tests protect the programmer against future mistakes. All tests are a protection against regressions. But yes agreed, integration tests absolutely carry much more value than any unit tests might. Specifically be

Post titles like these always completely overscope the action. Something more accurate would read "A team at Barclays Bank".

Extremely insightful. I'd never considered this perspective. Thank you for this.

After having consumed many ebooks, there is one unfortunate side-effect. My memory/feel for a book seems to be partly tied to what I hold/the cover/the font. I love ebooks, but once I've finished one, I just don't h

You're holding contradictory positions. Everybody has a valid preference, but you can't wait for companies to implement yours (cubicle)?

I think the problem is, it's easy enough to glue to Airtable (lovely API), and the other problem is I'm not sure how you'd generalise the power of Lambdas to a consumer, for whatever this Honeycode thing is.

by pldr1234 6y ago
Agreed. At least, I don't see anything (other than visual complexity in their UI/UX) that sets them above Airtable. Good try though.

Please re-read the GP carefully: "The primary reason for this is because the people writing JavaScript do not know what they are doing". If that isn't a personal attack on a particular group of developers, then I'm not s
