Meh I don’t like wearing the logo outside but we get a decent number of hoodies and sweatpants which are great for WFH/indoors days. Usually a decent brand and comfy.

I mean, depends on the size of the company. When you’re like 1-2 devs you basically do what you can to help everyone out. But yeah as the company gets bigger you’ll need to separate the responsibilities.

What’s the argument for using Angular over other solutions? Let’s say you actually need a SPA.

That’s a pretty bad example since most functional frameworks include an any or some function that returns early.

I mean it tends to show up in the FE due to JS being fundamentally callback based. You’re basically responding to events and the like. Unfortunately the language was not designed for reactivity so they’re all added on via frameworks.

Are there benefits in not having a GC in WASM?

Also are there mainstream memory safe languages without a borrow checker? There’s some experimental ones out there.

Rust isn’t strictly functional? Do you mean you’d like a language with garbage collection?

Is it Amazon because they did a really good job at keeping teams separate (via APIs)?

I mean that just means you didn’t hack them well enough.

Huh? Every IDE has had this feature for decades. Eclipse, all of JetBrains products, even NetBeans. This is like the most basic feature provided by IDEs.

Also with the development of first party language servers it’s relatively easy for new IDEs to integrate.

Or don’t support all the features

Hmm… theoretically this is more efficient, however in practice you may end up with a dirty cache… I guess that’s fine if you don’t mind corruption of your coworkers.

Big companies do this all the time. Giant monorepos with good testing and reliability systems manage it. As an example: https://abseil.io/resources/swe-book/html/ch22.html

Yeah it would be nice if we could simplify instead of add a bunch of special cases.

However it’s easier said than done. In your example for carbon tax, how do you determine the cost of removing carbon? Does creating a new solar/wind power plant count? Does increasing efficiency in an existing home count? What’s the difference between that and just paying for carbon capture? This is what the carbon offset economy was supposed to be about but it’s ultimately difficult to implement correctly and inherently full of complexities. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try, but it’s really hard to simplify some things.

I think there’s evidence to show that even though punishments may be heavy, if the chance of getting caught is low people will still do it. So that means you’d need to increase surveillance and enforcement which comes with it’s own issues.

I’d like to think most democracies would enact some socialist policies if there was less money involved in politics… but I’m not sure what the best way to prevent that is.

You can craft laws but the legal system is also profit driven. And you’d need some way to either prevent corruption or get the motivations to line up correctly. But I can’t think of any practical solutions that also align with freedoms.

Capitalism isn’t a form of government the way democratic socialism is? But to your point, even Adam Smith realized the problems with a legal and governmental system that is controlled by corporations to be a terrible idea. He was well aware that profit motives without limit leads to mistreatment of individuals.

Is this an event for the next version of the Apple Vision Pro?

Some of us have PTSD from losing work back in the day. Now it’s just habit.

Aren’t brackets hard to type in Swiss layout? Most of my Swiss coworkers switch to US.

If only they had Space OSHA.
