If I'm a company and want to bring something to production quickly, what should i choose:
A relatively new tool that has seen barely any production use and thus could have a bunch of unanticipated problems. Also nobody uses it so every new engineer you bring onto the project has to learn something entirely new before they can start really contributing. You also have no idea how long it will be supported by its developers into the long term future.
A battle hardened, production tested tool that has a huge community, has been around for a long time, and that a lot more developers already know how to use.
Sure #2 might be slower by a few fractions of a second, but if I'm in charge of the business i know which option I'm going to choose 100% of the time.
Just because they've done some things wrong doesn't mean they have done everything that's wrong. I would rather base my criticism on companies (or people or ideas) on true facts.
That means sometimes there's an uncomfortable situation where an otherwise evil organization isn't always evil in every situation, and that is ok.
Same thing happens to me if I were to open each of those apps as chrome tabs.
The apps you listed provide a web version also. Adding choice to the customer experience is a good thing!
Has the hacker group given any proof that they actually have anything? All of the articles I've read only say the hackers have claimed to have 80GB of data.
Because many users often enjoy using a dedicated application than a website. Plus it gives developers access to even more customization than browsers normally provide.
If they customers didn't like using it, companies wouldn't keep making these apps.
Personally, I'm a techie guy but I get exhausted with the number of tabs i have open at any time. I don't need to have more dedicated to just slack, Spotify, discord etc
It's totally fair game to discuss what is in official promotional material from months ago in a diacussion thread about the game.
It's also fair to try to avoid spoilers about the game, but if you are so spoiler averse that you don't even want to know what was in the games advertisements, you should avoid all discussion threads about the game.
Probably my greatest fear is my mind going and shutting down like that. I wish him the best and hope he gets the support needed.
The issue isnt really the color, it's that all images and video are degraded in quality. That means android users are excluded from iphone group chats. This is a bug deal in America where iphones are incredibly popular.
I think it's fair to be excited that people are working on ways to bridge the divide. Especially when the technical aspects of the reverse engineering is pretty cool. Not to mention the proof of concept was originally made by a high school student!
they took what was almost certainly a profitable service and abandoned it
They oftentimes make a decision like this when their internal math tells them that the resources they put into domains could make them more money if they were put in another product. If you consider the opportunity cost, it could make sense to Google to make a change like this.
From our perspective, it's crazy, but it's easy to forget the huge scale of the money they are dealing with.
services like Gmail and Maps which can't be profitable
They aren't profitable, neither is Photos, but they are considered essential applications that keep users bought into the google ecosystem and are necessary for android to remain competitive.
As much as technologists like us wish we could prioritize efficiency and use the latest and flashiest tools all the time, that's just not practical. When you say you want each company to have an objective set of technical requirements when choosing a toolset, you also have to have a set of practical requirements. What is the cost of friction of adding a new tech stack to the company?
Adding electron means just learning electron. Adding Tauri means learning Tauri and Rust.
It's like the saying goes, "the best camera is the one you have with you". It's true with any business decision.
But the rich are the ones buying a lot of the art! Who will pay the artists if you eat the people with the money?
Why do you think everyone cares to optimize every single ounce of their ram memory. There is a lot more to UX than that.
I would rather an imperfect choice than none at all
No i think they do get it, it's exactly like how subreddits work, if you don't like how /r/technology works, you can always create a new tech based subreddit moderated anyway you like. The issue isnt that there are multiple communities.
The problem, as always, is discoverability of all of these disjointed communities. I'm still new to Lemmy, but it seems like you have to rely on an external 3rd party tool like https://browse.feddit.de/ to find any of them.
Thank you for linking the text. For anyone wondering, here is Ch. 2, Article 11 regarding portable battery replacement:
Article 11 Removability and replaceability of portable batteries
- Portable batteries incorporated in appliances shall be readily removable and replaceable by the end-user or by independent operators during the lifetime of the appliance, if the batteries have a shorter lifetime than the appliance, or at the latest at the end of the lifetime of the appliance. A battery is readily replaceable where, after its removal from an appliance, it can be substituted by a similar battery, without affecting the functioning or the performance of that appliance.
- The obligations set out in paragraph 1 shall not apply where (a) continuity of power supply is necessary and a permanent connection between the appliance and the portable battery is required for safety, performance, medical or data integrity reasons; or (b) the functioning of the battery is only possible when the battery is integrated into the structure of the appliance.
- The Commission shall adopt guidance to facilitate harmonised application of the derogations set out in paragraph 2
That's definitely an ideal benefit of decentralization, but as the OP correctly pointed out, the reality often works out differently than the ideal.
It looks like people's comments are coming back because they didn't get deleted. From discussion in other threads and on HN, it looks like the comment deletion scripts can't delete comments from subreddits while they are privated.
If you tried deleting comments during the blackout and then some of those unprivated, you would expect to see those comments again.
There is a lot to be upset with Reddit about, but this doesn't seem to be one of them. (at least based on what I've seen)
Would Coles paying their staff more prevent non employees from stealing?
But what percentage of their userbase wants to use them for domains. I'm sure it was profitable, but I doubt they were making as much on that as they could elsewhere. A service making them $50 million a year might not be enough for them to decide to continue with it when they are regularly dealing with products that make hundreds of millions or even billions from. It might just not be worth the effort.
Thank you!!
Clicking the delete button on the website just makes your browser send API calls (albeit maybe a different, private API than other scripts may use)
Unfortunately, I can't think of any way you could implement a voting feature for mods that wouldn't be abused. There are bots that would be inevitably able to vote in anyone they want
Also being a mod is difficult and you will have to make unpopular decisions. Sometimes the person you took action on will misrepresent what happened or outright lie to sway public opinion against you. People will take advantage of that to vote a mod out.
Do you have some way to prevent abuse like that happening?
User experience is not just about optimizing every little bit of your RAM consumption. They're are plenty of other factors as well
If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn't it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I'm jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.
With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.
Not wanting to link to reddit makes sense.
Though I would say, I would take something more seriously if a Reddit admin or a mod from a dozen subreddits said it. That would add lot more significance to a post like this. If it was from a highly upvoted post, then it's be more likely a form of protest that reddit mods might have seen or even decide to take seriously.
When I don't see any attribution I can't help but think it's just OP faking a post or just trying to get attention for themselves instead of just posting a text post to discuss the idea. Maybe I'm just jaded from my days on reddit though.
It's the obvious followup to your statement "shoplifting is happening because of capitalism. Period." You were very clear and I think my question is very clear.
What's up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?
In order to make a claim like that you need two different evidences: one showing that they did remove content critical of the US and one showing that they removed it because they intended to use the removal to make more money
I've certainly seen and heard of Google modifying results or puting punishments on users because they broach topics that violate their terms of service.
I will absolutely agree that the rules of their ToS are heavily determined by the desires of advertisers and written laws.
But just because they may restrict the content based off of advertiser's wishes or because they are legally required to do so doesn't mean that Google is in bed with the government and willing to do anything to prop up the government's power so they can keep making money from them.
That's a really big and important jump you can't just hand wave away just because a company as large as Google works with the government on some things. That's just conspiracy theory and detracts from the very real, evidence based criticisms we can and should be focusing on.
You are absolutely right with your description. One thing to note since OP was looking for the distinction: most mods are power users. It's usually the most active and enthusiastic users who have the desire to become a moderator.
Are you suggesting that nobody ever stole anything from a store in a socialist/communist country?
Genuine question, why does it matter? Why shouldn't a project choose a production ready method of creating cross platform compatible code to avoid duplication of efforts and cost?
