Prompted by both a tragic study on personality phrenology I saw today and by my current book revisions, I have a question
Where have you seen "individual" explanations given for software development outcomes when the REAL driver was group work?
E.g., heroes get the credit when the thing was really a team effort? Or people thinking your best skill is coding fast alone when really it's about collaboration? Any stories like that would be welcome as I chew on this
I had the displeasure of reading an article in the Harvard student paper by an economics major who said in apparent seriousness that comp sci majors are wasting time on theory classes like “Introduction to Algorithms and their Limitations” when they could be learning REAL skills like prompt engineering.
Algorithms are not useless theory, you unbalanced red-red tree. They’re the entire fucking point of the degree, you empty hash bucket. Go gamble daddy’s money on a startup your buddies thought up last night, you quadratic insert operation

Re: last boost (hachyderm.io/@jzb/115571712684…), about the voraciously greedy website scraping that LLM vendors do, maybe this will be the issue that gets me to give up all personal use of LLMs once and for all. I've said I would before, and I was too weak, and I gave in to the urge to use Claude again. Maybe this time.
Reading Fedora infrastructure update about yet more problems with AI scrapers. It's really disgusting the pain that these bots are inflicting on the rest of the Internet. I hope users of these tools are conscious of how the vendors are acquiring their data, and taking pains to avoid the vendors or projects that ignore robots.txt (and such) and go out of their way to avoid being blocked.These parasites are *worse* than spammers; typically spam is a nuisance, but not something that causes so much damage. It is flat-out unethical what these companies are doing, and equally unethical to support them.

One of the things our community has asked for the most is the ability to browse AppleVis in their own language. And we’re really excited to finally say—it’s here! AppleVis now has live translation, and we couldn’t be happier to open the doors a little wider for people around the world.
We hope this makes it easier for anyone who’s wanted to explore AppleVis in their native language to feel right at home.
Today’s the day! Help us spread the word, and here’s to making the world feel a bit smaller and more connected so everyone in the low-vision and blind community can enjoy AppleVis and learn from each other.

🦀 It's not ready for an official announcement yet, but we're working on a small DB-backed worker queue in Rust.
It's a recurring ask from clients, and I couldn't find anything "production ready" out there.
It's built on top of crates.io's queue. We moved to sqlx (from diesel) as well.
Can we get some eyeballs on it? Feel free to comment here and/or create an issue. A retoot and a ⭐ would also help, of course... 😉

Since services like akamaistatus.com/ and cloudflarestatus.com/ explicitly don't want to use their own CDNs for this (to allow status reporting during outages) this results in these status pages being IPv4-only resources outside of their control.

Good morning 
As the person who designed and fought for this app, I am a bit sad about the change.
The native app was by no means perfect, but it felt like a real productivity tool that was trying to be respectful of it's environment.
I've come to the conclusion that native desktop apps are just not viable from large companies, even if there is headcount.

I made Facebook and FB Messenger for Windows. It was considered a complete failure by management as it never got above 1% of the usage by windows users vs the website.
The problem is coordination cost.
If you want to launch new features and experiments here, there and everywhere, then the coordination complexity increases nonlinearly with the number of platforms.
If you can sustain a more deliberate, low churn pace of development then it's workable. Features can be well defined and then implemented by the platform team as they see fit. But if you want a more fast-paced, "just in time" style of development, you need to coordinate with every team for every change... wouldn't it be nice to just write web code and be done?
Even Microsoft are building this way these days.
This is why ironically small companies seem more able to support native apps than large ones. The more "stuff" that's being worked on concurrently, the harder it is to support multiple platforms.
The developer makes a highly optimized native app that is a hit with the user. Now that it's a hit, the developer is now big company. And big company needs telemetry, A/B experiments, fast iteration. They can't just sit around waiting for the original developer to spend more years crafting another masterpiece. Due to tech, sign-ins, or what have you the app is also a kind of monopoly. Since it's a monopoly, quality doesn't matter. It can be a bloated electron thing and nobody can do anything about it other than suck it.
V8 reserves memory in chunks of 256MB using virtualalloc with MEM_RESERVE on Windows (I think). It has to do that for each isolated process where an isolate is a tab, webview, worker, etc. A page that's built up from 4 isolated processes will reserve 1GB of RAM. That's only virtual alloc though, so other OS processes can take the memory if they really need it.
There is essentially no way to tell if a JS app is using a lot of memory just by looking at what the process has reserved. There's loads of things that end up in that space - cached pages, cached compiled code, cached bitmaps of rendered pages, etc.
The task monitor tells you what Chrome or Chromium (e.g. Electron) is doing, not what the web app is doing.
You're absolutely right that the issue is the coordination cost. So then the question becomes, is this coordination cost worth it and how much are we willing to "spend". It seems the cost is worth it for Android and iOS since the native app experience on those platforms is so much better.
The macOS app is just a tweaked iOS app so it's also easy to justify.
But what about Windows? The Microsoft provided APIs are a disaster that keeps getting rewritten every half decade, and even Microsoft barely uses them. Just look at the 2 context menus on Windows Explorer, they can't even get the sizes and colors between them right.
If you want to do basic UI on Windows today, you can use:
- Win32 UI
- MFC
- .NET WinForms
- WinFX
- .NET WPF
- WinRT
- UWP
And I'm sure there are many others that I'm forgetting.

@talon @matt I agree, if the features are there, then all platforms should keep up with them. I just don't think the features need to be there in the first place.
counterpoint: those thousands of people wouldn't use the feature if the feature just hadn't been implemented in the first place. Not every app needs to serve every demographic.
I mean, if it was my app, I would never have thought something like Statuses needed to be there, but they are. I also wouldn't think we need a biz app. Or AI. And now I don't even have an app because I didn't think of how to make it sustainable and I had to shut it all down due to the hosting cost. I shouldn't be trusted to make an app that scales to three billion, is what I am saying.

@talon @matt I think what the post is getting at is that the nature of large companies necessitates making financially motivated decisions over what may be preferable from a technical standpoint. In this case, someone saw that the app was "stagnating," IE not keeping up with the pace of feature development on other platforms. This was seen as a problem, with a solution. It's not the only one, but when you are a mobile app with one team that knows c# and another team that knows JS, you're gonna make your C# devs migrate to JS, not the other way around. JS is easier to hire for, easier to build for and works crossplatform.
A smaller company could say, "we want a simple native app experience so just go to the phone for the other stuff," and deal with the churn, but that's not an option when growth is prioritized by upper management and you have already grown huge.

I think few people are using the Win32 APIs directly and Microsoft has been shifting their stuff a bunch.
WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation ) had been the recommendation a while back, but then Microsoft started pushing UWP (Universal Windows Platform). Both of those have been succeeded by WinUI 3. UWP has been deprecated. WPF is alive, but more in a maintenance mode while WinUI 3 takes over the future. Oh, and WinForms were popular, but now not.
There's definitely been a lot of shifting and I think that's caused a lot of annoyance in the developer community - especially as Microsoft ships JS/WebView2 based apps instead of dogfooding their own stuff. If you hang out in the dotnet subreddit enough, you'll definitely see Windows devs annoyed at Microsoft's mercurial attitude toward their desktop frameworks and seeming lack of direction/interest - as their big new things are JS/WebView2.
Microsoft: "We offer GREAT backwards compatibility! The best in the business!"
Also Microsoft: "Man, doing things the old way is so hard. What if we had a clean break with the past?!?!"
Microsoft, some time later: "Man, making a clean break from the past is so hard. Let's just ship what we've done so far and think about finishing up the rest later. What? Windows Explorer is broken, and you refuse to let us ship!? Fine, we'll hack something in and not tell anyone."
