These obviously are’t planned obsolescence though.
Flexgate is a manufacturing error, that they handled in a consumer hostile way
Batterygate, was an arguably misguided way to support outdated models - prioritising one goal (battery life) over another (speed)
The iPod thing I’ll admit I know nothing about.
It sounds like, for you, planned obsolescence is defined as any instance where a product isn’t manufactured perfectly or degardes over time, regardless of whether it was planned. For me, planned obsolescence should contain at least a hint of planning.
You can disagree with someone politically and still work with them. It happens all the time in the real world unless you're someone so mentally ill that you cannot fathom different ideas (like actual nazis did wink).
Calling anyone who is conservative or with whom you happen to disagree with a "nazi" is disingenuous and in current times probably dangerous since there is a lot of crazy people preaching the "it's ok to punch a nazi".
i don't see any of his ragebait anymore and it's made for a better internet experience. omakub is trash and kamal is a marketing project/not actual useful tool because you still have to do devops
Your interpretation of my comment, though I guess intended as a joke, can only really mean two things:
1. You are unaware of DHH’s more recent favoured topics
2. You don’t think there is a problem with DHH’s opinions
Either is fine, I don’t really care.
The issue for me is that Cloudflare’s PR team obviously are aware what DHH writes about. And they’re sponsoring his project anyway. Cloudflare knows that this is repellant to a lot of people, that some of us will begin removing them from our stacks in response. But they don’t care, because they think it’s more valuable to cosy up to a bunch of mid life crises who’ve spent too much time on twitter.
I've always met his non-tech posts with an eye-roll after at most skimming through them.
> 1. You are unaware of DHH’s more recent favoured topics
No, apparently I wasn't fully updated. Looks likes he's turned it up a notch or two.
> 2. You don’t think there is a problem with DHH’s opinions
Tech-related ones I agree with. Political ones, I mostly don't. Now should he be censored or 'canceled' for his opinions? I don't think so. Criticized? Absolutely.
His once wrote on his blog that politics should stay out of tech. I think he's beginning to break away from that, and even though he's not explicitly tying his views to his products as far as I can see, he risks undoing all the good work.
You must not have read his blog post from last week. It was of coursed flagged off the front page earlier today. Wouldn't want people reading dhh's own words or anything.
You know the 10 paragraph+ rant about how Britain isnt white anymore. I mean "full of native Brits" which by his own words were based on appearances "walking down the street".
Thanks for the response, and apologies for misrepresenting your results somewhat! I'm probably not going to change the title since I am at heart and polemicist and a sloppy thinker, but I'll update the article to call out this misrepresentation.
That said, I think that what I wrote more or less encompasses three of the factors you call out as being likely to contribute: "High developer familiarity with reposito-
ries", "Large and complex repositories", and "Implicit repository context".
I thought more about experimenting on myself, and while I hope to do it - I think it will be very hard to create a controlled enviornment whilst also responding to the demands the job puts on me. I also don't have the luxury of a list of well scoped tasks that could feasibly be completed in a few hours.
I think the key insight here is that actually counting calories is not needed by the app's demographic. Possibly just getting them to pay attention to what they are eating is enough for them to see progress or at least feel like they are doing something.
That's sort of how Python works in Excel. You can insert Python code into a cell, but it runs in the cloud. No option (yet) to keep it local. They're nuts.
In case anyone isn't familiar with remix, bloomingkales seemingly has no familiarity with the framework. Obviously it's not been created as a conspiracy to sell training courses. The idea is ludicrous.
It's quite a nice framework. It's easy to learn, straightforward, the people in their discord are very helpful. It has the backing of a large company (shopify) who are using it extensively.
It is, I'll say again, obviously not a conspiracy to sell training courses.
