To answer your question, I hardly buy anything with crypto because there's barely support... Hopefully this is a catalyst for change.
I feel like this is the wrong question to ask. Instead try "why would someone purchase with crypto over fiat?".
I prefer to use crypto for international online purchases because the transaction and conversion fees from my native currency are way too high. With crypto it's a one off deposit fee and then gas is trivial these days.
It's funny and harmless, but it does make me less likely to use the product. Because I don't know where the line for funny and harmless ends. Would it be funny and harmless to install a keylogger alongside the software? Maybe I need better personal security practices but it's much easier to avoid anything with this kind of smell.
> I'd like to see no-code UX patterns that losslessly map onto the underlying abstraction. That way you can use the UX pattern until it gets too tedious, and occasionally dip in-and-out of the code-view in a non-jarring manner.
What are you describing sounds a lot like Saleforce and other CRM systems. Often the code implementation get hidden away when it's not something native in the no-code solution. Then "magic" happens and you don't quite know why until you dig into the code again.
what are you trying to suggest? that they are doing to much already? and if they were to do less they would have time? wouldn't that then lead to the same situation, that they would like to work on some of the things they are working on now but could not because of lack of time?
also we don't choose all our commitments. family, work, friends, etc are commitments we can't just give up. it comes down to choice and priorities, and the problem is that we have more things we find interesting than we can focus on.
but i consider that a good thing. i know that whenever i retire or am unable to continue some of my interests there will be others that i can pick up instead. i know that i won't be bored...
Just a quick prompt for reflection. I do not suggest anything how people actually live their lives. But many have said that they got caught up in being too busy to actually enjoy life. Don't fall into that by accident!
I have this too, or something similar at least. I have the same issues around visual memory and first person memory.
I noticed it specifically when talking to my wife about remembering feelings and emotions. I have a lack of empathy (different to sympathy) and when looking back at past events I struggle to feel the emotions I was feeling at the time. I can recreate them using facts and things I understand but it's different to experiencing the same feeling.
The author of the article doesn't touch on this so I'm curious to know if they have the same experience.
I don't understand why an interviewer would ban the use of AI if they are allowed to use AI in the role.
The interview is a chance to see how a candidate performs in a work like environment. Let them use the tools they will use on the job and see how well they can perform.
Even for verbal interviews, if they are using ChatGPT on the side and can manage the conversation satisfactorily then more power to them.
What if their lack of knowledge runs so deep that you question if their even able to prompt the AI without step by step instructions?
There's nothing wrong with a candidate going "Normally I'd prompt ChatGPT and get a skeleton project going" or saying "Look, I don't run around with the entire standard library in my head. I look that stuff up and sometimes that's with an LLM". The problem is when they can't go through the steps of solving a program, without the AI. I don't care about the details, or if you ask Copilot to do the API query code, because you don't want to write the error handling, that actually fairly reasonable, but if you can't prompt it to add the logic for a HTTP 403 then what's the point? In that case I'd rather hire someone who takes longer, but who knows that the 403 should probably redirect an unauthenticated user to the login page.
I like the idea of their products, but I just wish Unihertz wasn't so sketchy -- they refuse to release any kernel sources. (Which is in direct violation of the GPL!)
I generally remember that there's some problematic issue with Unihertz but often seem to manage to forget exactly which issue it is.
Non-compliance with the GPL is frustratingly common (over a huge range of company sizes too).
Not at helped by the fact that the community managed to (stupidly) burn bridges with the one person who seemed to be effecting actual change within Chinese companies with regard to GPL compliance.
