Absolute 0% of those lawyers jobs is to tell Apple to not pursue litigation. Do you understand what the point of litigation is for a company this size? They have over $100 billion in cash, even the most expensive lawyers salaries is a drop in the bucket. They can afford to drag a company like Protonmail through the mud for decades if they want to.

You work on _ads_ at Google, and are concerned about the ethics of working at Microsoft in the 90s? Sure, anti-competitive business practices might be unethical, but how can you possibly in good conscience suggest that bundling IE is more ethically problematic than building massive surveillance applications to sell ads? Just the implications of the data collection alone should be enough for you to quit your job before even considering any business angle.

Hope you enjoy the stock grants!

Profitable for whom? Tesla short sellers have lost close to $10 billion dollars in the few past months.

Ah, I wasn't thinking of the JavaScript flavors. I think "hosted" is how Clojure describes itself.

All the JVM languages you list aren't transpiled. They target JVM bytecode just like Java. They're first class, even if Java obviously gets the overwhelming amount of VM level support. Engineers working on the JVM are definitely aware of and want to support non-Java langs.

Where's her mean culpa on Israel Palestine then? I see no evidence that she's changed.

I'll start caring more about this "silencing" once the NYT editorial board starts including viewpoints that are actually silenced in our society. Until then, it's just whining about no longer being free from criticism.

Bari Weiss has been a proponent of censorship and "cancel culture" since her time as a student. She's a hypocrite.

Hard to find a bigger proponent of victim culture than Bari Weiss herself, though.

Bari Weiss is responsible for toxic culture in the first place. She's an absolute hypocrite here, so whatever conversation you want to have about speech, it probably shouldn't happen in this context.

Totally, and French intellectuals don't usually go over well with the average reader of HN. But, if anyone finds the discussion in this comment section resonates strongly with them, just reading about Foucault's ideas would be a good place to start. Why limit ourselves to school. :) This is fertile ground for thought and I'm glad to see discussion here.

> I wish Foucault had provided a more thorough treatment of schooling, though

Agreed. I think most schools were just broadly more authoritarian when he was writing. There's certainly more room to discuss the ways in which schooling has changed as we've shifted from the factory to service and knowledge economies.

Read Discipline and Punish by Michel Foucault.

Right, building generic, reusable code is against the grain of the language.

Stability is often more important than performance.

It's like any framework: once you learn it's idioms, you can be insanely productive. Unlike other frameworks, enterprise Java is all about flexibility, so in Spring land, it's often in incredible easy to tune or replace lower level components like connection pools, etc.

As such, I'd describe it as a good combination of highly dynamic architecture with lots of manual control. Of course, all of this is enabled with copious amounts of magic, which is usually why people don't like Spring.

The reason it's not a fair comparison is because go is a barely typed language that requires casting to interface non stop

We use Debezium and Kafka, it's been really nice.

When we looked at temporal tables in SQL Server for event sourcing, I was put off by the fact that you have to read from multiple tables. CDC + some external data source still seems to be the better solution here, imo.

Write to clipboard makes sense for "click to copy" functionality. It's a small ergonomic improvement but doesn't seem like the same security risk as reading from the clipboard.
