Microsoft and Nvidia are investing but they are both positioned to gain a return on investment by cloud hosting and hardware sales respectively.
Apple dropping out indicates they saw behind the curtain, did the math and realized they can create their own platform for less.
There is no path to profitability for them. Unlike other recent billion dollar tech companies there are no human workers to squeeze. Hardware doesn’t work for less than minimum wattage.
A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.
The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.
I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.
The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.
There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.
What’s the test for Linux user’s fantasizes moral superiority?
50/50 chance they believe you.

Sounds like projection. Probably just got back from meeting with his Russian handlers and posted this to sooth their impotent rage.
You think parents should get their kindergartens an Apple Watch?
Perhaps you think I’m referring to children past elementary school.
Regardless of what Apple says AirTags are and are not for people will use them however they see fit. For example, they are not for tracking pets but there are pet collars designed to hold an AirTag so clearly many people are ignoring Apple.
Attaching an AirTag to a child’s backpack seems like an obvious way to track one’s child, even if it’s not supported use case.
The purpose isn’t track things you know how to find but to find things that get lost; like children. There is also enough paranoia about kidnapping that I’m sure there are at least a few children in every classroom that are tagged.
I can only imagine how often teacher’s phone light up for these.
I agree.
One can’t claim to love programming while calling the act of writing code being a code monkey. Whatever they actually love about the process may not exist in the industry.
I would suggest they explore alternative roles and perhaps alternative industries. They sound like they are new to the industry so their ability to land a senior role is likely to lead to different disappointments.
The best way to do something, often isn’t the best way to implement something. That’s why this is a senior role. The author does not appear to understand this concept and will be horribly disappointed when their perfect architecture is ignored by the realities of development.
Without having to look at the device?
This thing is more rant than article so it’s hard to refute what is being said.
People who tell you they are smart never are.
Likewise, people who tell you they’ve figured out how to navigate the system without being influenced by it are the easiest to control.
One of its basic premise here that is flawed. Most people go to the polls knowing exactly who they are going to vote for. Those who don’t, are the ones marketers are trying to influence.
It isn’t really clear what the goal of this rant is. I find a lot of these things come down to the adage “teenagers think they invented sex” – people often confuse their mental awakening as novel discovery.
These people are rarely smart and are rarely worth listening to as they clearly fail to understand the next steps to such self discovery is to explore existing knowledge.
Those old POTS phone lines did carry a few volts.
Same. I’ve had several refunds. No request to return. Just full money back.
I don’t think people recognize how often a purchase made to Amazon or some similar seller platform is actually coming straight from China; always with a 2x or more mark up.
I’ve taken to always searching on ali to see if I can get the same thing for 1/10 the price. They don’t try to hide the shipping information like Amazon does. Where as Amazon won’t report anything until it’s in country and passed customs.
The rainbow table would have to include every four word combination. At around half a million words in the English dictionary, that’s not a small number.
As another XKCD comic illustrates, it’s cheaper to use a wrench.
I don’t know what to tell you that could satisfy your internal struggle here. If you have a style worth stealing it will be stolen. Copyright doesn’t protect that.
For what copyright does protect, it is only enforceable if you have the funds to protect it.
The system wasn’t designed for people like you, it was literally designed during the same time in which only the wealthy were able to peruse art. It was created to protected monied interests, not the commoner.
If you expect to make a living on your art, you need to plan to collect earnings up front. Commissioned work is exactly that.
This idea that you’re going to create some initial idea and then coast on it for life does not align with any reality.
Sometimes, if you create something new and interesting, you’ll end up with a following and they will fund your endeavors but there will still be copycats and you either waste your life perusing that or spend your life perusing your art. You cannot do both. Paying someone else to peruse your “rights” doesn’t change this equation, you’d be creating to fund the protection. Enforce it too hard and your fans will turn on you, as the original post here illustrates.
There is no winning move via copyright that leads to the land of riches. That’s the problem. That’s what copyright is bullshit.
It’s not designed to protect us but so long as the monied interests can convince us otherwise, we’ll go along with it like temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Always convinced if we’d play the game too, we could win.
The system is rigged and it’s not in your favor. Whatever appears to favor you is a facade meant of not to keep you playing the game.
All of the scenarios occur today. Every single one of them.
You do see that, right?
Artistry predates copyright law.
I hope the ChatGPT and its siblings bring about the end of copyright. Unfortunately it’s more likely we’ll pervert the idea of personhood yet again and claim these things are people same as was done with corporations.
“Media attention” doesn’t appear on your quote nor the entitreity of that Wikipedia article.
The other two are merely your personal interpretation of how you split the phrase “professed refusal”
Professed can as easily be satisfied by going on a piracy forum and declaring your allegiance to the movement.
Refusal is what piracy is. The act of ignoring copyright law, is the refusal.
“I do not agree with copyright law and will not be restricted by it” – This statement satisfies “professed refusal”
I do not have to petition my senator.
I don’t have to stand on a street corner with a sign.
I will take it further and claim that you or anyone else adding arbitrary rules to how one must practice civil disobedience is antithetical to civil disobedience.
Did you even bother to consult a dictionary before you wrote up this silly gatekeeping nonsense?
There is nothing in the definition of civil disobedience that says it needs to be public.
There is nothing that say we have to openly challenge the authorities.
There is nothing that says we have to get the medias attention.
It isn’t superior or safer. Whatever you did to your phone to install spyware will not project you any bette by using android.
I’m not even sure what you could have installed that would break out of the app sandbox. It’s likely to I have some device management profile installed, but even that seems unlikely. It’s also possible your phone compromised but that’s typically requires a state level attack.
I’m actually leaning towards drug use or carbon monoxide poisoning. Yeah, it is that weird and you sound that paranoid.
