This is amazing! But I need SEARCH feature :)

Btw, the map interface is very well implemented, what is it based on?

The Tenet Cook Forgot: make products you’d be proud to use yourself.

You see, I don't think people like Cook (and the majority of corporate managers) can even tell the difference between good and bad products when they use them.

I would love my kids to have access to Flash and learn to build games the way I did. Unfortunately, £32.98/month for Animate is just too expensive.

As far as I know, there is nothing comparable to the Flash experience on the market.

I am not sure if more regulation is a solution, but the lack of respect for job seekers is a real problem.

And not just with ghost jobs. My recent experience as a job seeker was harrowing - even with large, proud companies. I would pass multiple rounds of interviews with senior/director-level interviewers only to never hear back from the company - even after a direct request for an update or feedback. Just total ignorance. Again, this happened with a FAANG+ company.

I keep saying this: A company is a legal person, and you should not try to be loyal to a legal person because legal person can not be loyal to you,

You can, however, be loyal to your boss, and your boss can be loyal to you, as long as this does not conflicts with his duties to the company.

People underestimate the economic side. This person probably earns 6 figures (if not, he should). Fixing this himself probably costed more than $1697 in his time.

Now imagine a service doing this, with a manager and all the overhead.

To me, the biggest issue is the hostility of certain crowds that prevents us from discussing and exploring these phenomenons. There is this whole "women don't owe you sex" overreaction that is very quick to silence any discussion.

At the same time sexual satisfaction is strongly correlated with happiness (or depression) and both genders experience very different phenomena here.

And who is the source? Capitalism, the economic and political system? BS.

On Wikipedia, you can find that:

Economic pressures of capitalism are driving the intensification of connection and monitoring [...]

Which is partly truism and partly straw-man. Truism because "Economic pressures" are "driving the intensification" of everything, yet we don't use terms [something]-capitalism anywhere else. And straw-man because capitalism is only one of many possible sources of economic pressure.

If all you want to is distinguish the source from state-actor surveillance then "for-profit surveillance" or even "surveillance marketing" are much more fitting terms.

and it usually is a he

My toxic boss (she) was a diversity hire (women in tech) with limited experience (fast tracked for management) but unlimited support from the top (diversity quotas). I ended up bullied out of the company with damaged mental health (anxiety attacks).

Is Math Real? 3 years ago

Math is a model of the universe

And I would dare to disagree right here. Math contains many structures that we don't know from our universe and that probably do not exist in our universe. If math is a model of universe, why is there a Mandelbrot set?

My professional career was:

ActionScript 1 -> I am making silly games!

ActionScript 2 -> I am making cool games!

ActionScript 3 -> OO, classes, IDEs, SDKs, oh my got, I think I can write code now!

JS -> What is this crap??

TypeScript -> Thanks Flash, I am a software developer thanks to AS3.

they chose to spend significant resources investigating the coffee and did not spend resources investigating the sexual assault.

You made this up again, did you?
