It's not OKRs. It's management as a whole. Whatever they do it turns into bullshit, because they are all bunch of bullshiters. Waterfall, Agile, Sprint, Performance Reviews, doesn't matter what. They all turn into Bullshit because they are applied by bunch of bullshiters that usually have no clue what they are doing, but they would like to keep their job.

Generally people on all levels are incompetent most of the time, but in management your incompetence just have a bigger blast radius, while the consequences of it are vague and much easier to blame on something else.

Possibly it will be about polishing/automating this kind of flow.

While the noise complains might be legitimate, they probably affect a handful of people (just put Granbury Wolf Hollow in google maps - it's a middle of nowhere with handful of farms around), the rest is just a silly hit piece. In fact as much as mining Bitcoin might be considered useless by some, it does stabilize the grid around it.

There has been bunch of hit pieces like that posted on HN today and in last few days, seems like a coordinated effort, possibly reaction to Bitcoin ETFs.

Demos might seem superficial, but very often in CLI applications, there's this one little thing that if only could be done via bitmap would improve usability by a lot. And it's possible.

Good for him.

So far it's been OK. I don't plan to buy the subscription, but I check the web app from time to time and listen if I find something interesting.

> Spotify reportedly cut an $18 million check for Meghan Markle to headline a podcast called “Archetypes,” though it struggled to nab a top spot on the Spotify charts, which was blamed on staffers’ error in judgment.

Shocker. :D

The idea that anyone is going to get real term returns on bonds of a government > $30T in debt already and increasing it by like $1T every ~140 days now is silly.

Supply and demand is what gives people incentives to do and produce what is most needed and conserve things that are scarce, for the benefit of everyone. Anytime anyone tried to get rid of them completely it ended in poverty and misery, not a more just system.

Having said that, I sympathize with arguments to nudge things toward more just/equal outcomes recognizing supply&demand can be quite inhumane - after all it's a mechanism, not a goal in itself. Some UBI etc. could be an efficient way to help.

Having said that, western world spends huge amounts of money on public education for everyone, and after all that lots of people can't do anything fancier than tiding up a garden. It's a huge waste of resources. Future manual labor workers could start working after quick and efficient elementary schools, and start building wealth sooner to offset their lower productivity. But boy, no one is going to have conversations like that.

On all sides of all debates there's just bunch of irrational people trying to tweak a system that is too complex for them to understand.

Unlike some other replies, I kind of agree with a sentiment (maybe because I did a fair amount of physical labor), but one very important thing to realize is that salaries are not about "what's worth what" and fairness but about supply and demand. Developers get paid more because their productivity allows that and not a lot of people can do what they do. While almost anyone can be a landscaper. And supply and demand in inflexible markets leads either to runaway high or deep bottom price.

Oh noeh, but the feels. Is anyone thinking about the feels?

Don't cry. The contributor will be fine. If you get flamed by Linus you've already earned a badge of a high profile developer. And even best of us sometimes do something stupid and a little direct cold shower is not going to hurt anyone. Linus is not bulling people, doesn't target them for no reason, doesn't do sneaky politics to undermine people, etc.

LOL at people who think VR will be a mass thing anytime soon.

All these tons of app developers on the market that can do JS/Java UI code will not start writing 3d or even 3d enhanced graphics apps anytime soon. So the VR is just inconvenient screen that you can only see yourself and gives you headaches, with nothing that a normal screen couldn't do.

On top of it no one has any motive to start supporting Vission Pro - either as a big tech competitor of Apple, or just independent developer to get rekt by 30% fees for a handful of users.

I have two Quest devices and even kids don't ever use them because they suck in their very nature. Terrible hassle for everyone involved, can't use it for all that long and so on. And if the kids don't use some tech it has no future, because an old geezers like me are even less likely to do it.

There's already Brother, and fingers-crossed they will keep doing good job.

Please don't get distracted, Framework. What you're trying to do is challenging enough already.

Notably people will keep saying in every thread about HP that Brother exists, and I don't think Brother is dominating the market. At the end of the day if a ignorant customers keep buying garbage products, it's hard to help.

Think different. That will be 30%.

Don't you know that "Developer's time is expensive"? :D

When I stopped owning movie DVDs I started paying $10/mo for watching a whole catalog of movies. When I stopped owning music CDs I started listening any song I want on demand for $10/mo. For $10/mo I'd be fine not owning games and playing any game I want from a large catalog on demand.

Why is no competitor just buying all their printers and throwing them to trash?
