TL;DR (meta phrased)

Microsoft is forking VSCode open source community by split licensing for source code and and official build of VSCode. If you build by yourself you can’t connect to VSCode is marketplace.

This allows them to fully control VSCode telemetry and reporting along with use on platforms such as Gitpod. It’s similar to how Apple controls apps on iPhone and in turn control how much you need to pay them if you earn money on it.

In long run everything going on cloud and SaaS/ PaaS platform holding the keys to developer tooling gate such as VSCode, Microsoft has unfair advantage over other competitors and still keep benefits of OSS

I think front end is possessed with abstraction and DRY. Everything has to be a library or npm module, People keep on writing their on versions of same stuff most of the times because they didn’t liked the name of the function or order of arguments. Complexity in front end is definitely increased by obsession of abstraction while it should’ve reduced it

The experience I had while growing up and still today is very similar. I moved from India to Europe, my father was sole provider of the house. He earned just par what you would call minimum wage as there was no such concept in India, still not today. By no means you could term us under poverty but I never felt my situation better than that, in-fact I remember many times I wished we were poor so I will at least have close friends who will stand for me or understand how I felt. The school was government subsidised but we had lot of middle class or higher middle class kids. I cycled 6km in morning and after school, initially it felt more fun but eventually I realised with 2nd hand bicycle I was saving school bus money. I remember the day when I was 11 years old and 1st time went for 3 days school trip, my father gave me ₹100 ($1.20). It was not that small amount 2-3 kids also had around same but many of other brought ₹500 in fact there was a kid with ₹2000 and teachers were worried if he will lose it or someone might steal it. I only spent half of it cause I was saving for Nintendo Super Game Boy for both me and my 5 years younger brother. I got the Nintendo! but I was 15 then and wanted a PC. All my childhood was eventual despair of longing for anything. For my brother it was a bit better but he never got anything new or shiny, always whatever I had used. We never went out for food except for my, my brother’s and mother’s birthday, father never wanted to go out on his birthday citing he loves few select meals that mother makes which always infuriated me but after 12 or 14 I realised why he never wanted. Being older I got exposed to our situation very early and there was always this impatience and frustration I felt building in me, I use to express it on mother and brother but I never truly learned why it was there until I got my first job. I was grateful for my parents that I was able to graduate and can now live better financially, but my childhood shame never left me. Till today I secretly go to McDonalds, KFC without telling my wife or kids just to have that feeling that I can eat at those places whenever I want, not because these are fine dining or my wife will be upset but for me those are golf course sessions. Whenever I want to buy any electronics I first look for what is most expensive then reviews and finally decide what I should buy so I won’t look tech junky.

Limited financial resources in my childhood limits me now in my life, work. So many time I truly can’t connect to lunch or coffee conversations between colleagues because those feels like two persons in car fighting or waiving to each other while I look through bus window on the roadside.

I was financial limited then and because of that I’m cognitively restrained now.

It is more. Amazon gambled the money and fate of these employees hoping growth in covid will stabilise or might even grow. Now the small bubble of online shopping fiesta is coming to an end they are throwing out these employees as a dead weight, while they were the load bearers in high demand

The GitHub user instead of reporting incident to their security team chose to take sneaky approach to remove the keys fearing the actions from company.

They will be fired and instead of retrospectively improving the security Infosys will ban all OSS contributions from their developers.

teams that works to identify and mitigate risks

Complete failure by team to not see super user permission as risks

intrusion detection…

Clearly the did not implement AWS CloudTrail threat detection otherwise when op accessed the account it should have raised alarms, so its just plain lie

…training on security policy

So the GitHub user probably skipped those considering them boring. And instead of reporting their own failure chose sneaky way to make it go away hoping no one will notice

Java is in middle or to the end of userspace, it is verbose and less opinionated. Golang is very close to systems programming hence very opinionated, you can easily build API applications with it but that’s the most non system engineering you can get out of it. The error handling is probably the best design I feel from language that’s in category of c, c++

I don’t think he is going any hard in-fact all of his post is completely focused on his treatment. He could’ve exposed Marty’s/id’s treatment with others. I think he still is trying to avoid confrontation in court, maybe settle outside.

Components based approach was pretty much wide spread because of React, we had shitty MVC stuff like angular before it. I wouldn’t call it fashion mind set.

It you think React is bloat I would recommend Preact

US has not injected billions into India! Capitalist companies trying to find cheaper and disposable labour has done it. Of course the US Government police allows that but the policy is there because of these companies not other way around.

scamming America’s most vulnerable population

Nothing from that goes to Government taxes or public benefits. These people are not out of poverty by scamming.

please try not to down punch some positive news from “Third world countries” if you don’t have any constructive criticism

You would think that!

When firing 14% staff like more than 1000 and decisions are made by handful of people it’s not about who performed better or worse it’s about firing whom will have more impact on reducing spendings and less disruption in software delivery.

Most of enterprise Java jobs in mid/ junior engineering level are similar to old times production assembly line, everything has a Factory or Impl from dependencies. All you have to do is add bunch of methods and connect API's and service bus (of course I'm extremely simplifying it, but) it's not hard to find people who can do that, also it's not hard to get them up to speed for what needs to be done so the churn rate doesn't impact a lot to enterprises which is a big win. In my personal experience I don't think that's possible with C++ so Java may have started with "write once, run anywhere" now its more of glue between longer running actors and constantly changing workforce

I think not using LiDAR would be a good bet. LiDAR in nutshell allows you to give an object in vision 3D space, relative speed which 2 human eyes can do very fast. Problems with solving this in vision based input is in dataset and interpretation. Computer vision and AI can’t effectively apply a human drivers judgment with better camera and processing power, at least not yet.

I think you if you use something like pandoc it allows to at markups for centering and citation refs, which I'm guessing was used for .md => .tex to .pdf. But they will be rendered plain text in makrdown preview

Libcamera v0.0.1 4 years ago

I always feel odd, why v0.0.1 not v0.1.0? How can you start with patch if there was nothing before?

Social networks in essence mirrors the society so its hard to run a company without judging and censoring free speech if comany doesn't want to be something like 4chan. The bigger problem arises when this censoring and controlling starts affecting democratic processes, there are other bad side effects too. Maybe there should not be any Social networks or maybe we should have better democracy which doesn't crumble under these new powers of information age.
