So to improve location pickup we changed the location permission to collect signal in the background so we could send the drivers to your current location. People freaked out. Some of my ex-Twitter colleges called on me to quit such an evil company that would track you like this.
As a result of said freakout, (there’s a whole other thread about this involving @gruber and @TechCrunch that I’ll explain some other time) people turned off location permission. But the new app hadn’t designed any experience to handle this use case.
Смішна історія.

Чиновник Мінцифри пропонує забороняти «ворожі» Україні комп’ютерні ігри. Що про це думає IT-спільнота?
Хтось вважає, що такі дії держави — цензура, а хтось — що механізм контролю має бути розроблено.

Юдковський про цензуру закритих спільнот

After all—anyone acculturated by academia knows that censorship is a very grave sin... in their walled gardens where it costs thousands and thousands of dollars to enter, and students fear their professors' grading, and heaven forbid the janitors should speak up in the middle of a colloquium.
It is easy to be naive about the evils of censorship when you already live in a carefully kept garden. Just like it is easy to be naive about the universal virtue of unconditional nonviolent pacifism, when your country already has armed soldiers on the borders, and your city already has police. It costs you nothing to be righteous, so long as the police stay on their jobs.

ПОЛІФОНІЯ
Місія проекту “Поліфонія” полягає у тому, щоб дослідити, зберегти та презентувати живу пісенну традицію українського сільського середовища. Нашим пріоритетними завданнями є фіксація української нематеріальної культурної спадщини найсучаснішими технологіями та забезпечення доступу до неї. Накопичену століттями спадщину нарешті представлено широкому загалу у відкритому доступі. Сподіваємось, що наш онлайн-ресурс зацікавить кожного, від музикантів-ентузіастів до науковців.

Гардіан про продуктивність
Then there’s the matter of self-consciousness: virtually every time management expert’s first piece of advice is to keep a detailed log of your time use, but doing so just heightens your awareness of the minutes ticking by, then lost for ever.
...
One of the sneakier pitfalls of an efficiency-based attitude to time is that we start to feel pressured to use our leisure time “productively”, too – an attitude which implies that enjoying leisure for its own sake, which you might have assumed was the whole point of leisure, is somehow not quite enough. And so we find ourselves, for example, travelling to unfamiliar places not for the sheer experience of travel, but in order to add to our mental storehouse of experiences, or to our Instagram feeds. We go walking or running to improve our health, not for the pleasure of movement; we approach the tasks of parenthood with a fixation on the successful future adults we hope to create.

go statement considered harmful
Go statements break error handling. Like we discussed above, modern languages provide powerful tools like exceptions to help us make sure that errors are detected and propagated to the right place. But these tools depend on having a reliable concept of "the current code's caller". As soon as you spawn a task or register a callback, that concept is broken. As a result, every mainstream concurrency framework I know of simply gives up. If an error occurs in a background task, and you don't handle it manually, then the runtime just... drops it on the floor and crosses its fingers that it wasn't too important.
