2-3 generations? why should we import criminal foreigners that will make our cities and villages unsafe for decades?

it is not said honestly out loud, because it is absolutely insane, and would be rightfully rejected.

I hate frontend devs that think of themselves smarter than their users and try to be smart about stuff. Just show me the available states, thank you very much. If users don't know/understand something, you don't help them by hiding it even further from them. Do your part in educating them by simply exposing them to the concept. This isn't rocket science, just a switch with three states. Empower your users! Not make yourself the arbiter of features.

Good luck deploying a client to the mobile app stores together with your backend :pain:

But then again, those barely count as games, I guess.

The bitter lesson.

ears have to be shown to camera to confirm no devices inside

own calculator not allowed, there is one provided by the software that must be used

Seems easy to counter all of this. I study at a German remote university, and they require, next to the front camera, a second camera to record the screen + hands and arms of the student while taking exams, and before the exam starts a complete video of the room, below desk areas, ears, etc. I don't see an angle how to reliably cheat in such conditions, and have seen nothing mentioned by any other student. So I would say it's up to the university if they want to allow fraud like that...they could easily stop it.

i and j etc is bad though, but for a different reason than usually claimed. it's suboptimal because it's hard to search for. just use ii, jj, kk, etc

how about "Maschinensturm", a German word closely associated with luddites?

What are you basing this on? The announcement literally says the people doing the work want to focus on the work and not the bullshit, so they are firing the bullshit people.

> Engineers in particular have expressed their desire to focus their time on engineering, without being hampered by slow process flows, and restore the fast-moving culture that has made us so successful.

Not nothing - they are doing bullshit.

> Engineers in particular have expressed their desire to focus their time on engineering, without being hampered by slow process flows, and restore the fast-moving culture that has made us so successful.

Yes, they absolutely are the bad guys, if they are the reason that the Engineers - the ones actually making the product - are unhappy. Did you miss this part of the announcement?

Sorry, but the empathy is misplaced. These people working bullshit jobs are dragging down the whole organization. If bullshit jobs are allowed to proliferate, they risk the even larger number of jobs (and families) of the people doing the actual work.
