4 years for that is absurd.

We have an outright criminal at the top, healthcare CEOs can kill you with Excel by the tens of thousands, but a company loses some money and the rules suddenly apply?

What an absolute joke.

I was thinking the same. I guess money can buy everything: morality, spirituality and even justice.

Worth mentioning a $5 cloud instance and installing Algo VPN on it gets you the same thing without having to trust a 3rd party VPN provider (only a generic VM provider such as AWS). It’s always worth minimizing companies you deal with if you already use AWS, GCP, etc.

It is not. VPN Providers have server all over the world. How many cloud instances in the different part of the world you can buy with $5?

The solution is obvious:

Go back to pen-and-paper examinations at a location where students are watched. Do the same for assignments and projects.

Better: 15-30min interrogation. I loved those, I can reason through the problem without worrying about writing correct sentence and hoping the other person I understood what I wrote and I understood the question.

If it wasn't ChatGPT, those students are more than likely to be the kind that buys solutions so that they still don't have to work.

Some people somehow think that having more while working less is an act of resourcefulness. To some extent it maybe is, because we shouldn't work for work's sake, but making "working less" a life goal doesn't seem right to me.

Why "working less" should not be a life goal? I got a undergraduate degree because I can earn more, but I don't need more money. I need more free time. With increased salary I can work less.

> This is a danger to the open web in more ways than one. If there is only one functioning implementation of a standard, the implementation becomes the standard.

I still don't understand why this is a problem. As long as the engine implementing the spec - governed by committee formed by entities other than Google itself - is open source. The problem and the waste of resource is how we are behaving now.

The browser engine should become as the Linux Kernel: one engine and different distros.

Except that's not really true. Take OPs example of the search bar, in most shops as a UI/UX designer you put a search bar on your figma page and hand it off to the engineer who then implements it. It's entirely up to the engineer how the search functionality is going to work, am I going to query my backend on every keypress? Depending on how big your database that could be anywhere from 50ms-1s for a response PER KEYPRESS, which is exactly OPs problem. I don't see how the UI/UX designer is going to fix or solve that.

In most shop they stop at the UI part of the UI/UX combination. UX should dictate all these interaction. Slapping a search input on Figma page is just a miniscule part of UI/UX process. I would even argue the easiest part of the entire process: anyone can do it.

I dont know..there is this thing called meditation, where people mostly sit and they say that's the way to reach human peak experience.

Yeah, maybe the shrink the brain so small, they cannot have the energy or the capacity to see problems anymore. That's why they are happy....

It is amazing how most replies make the software engineer or developer the culprit of this. How the user interact and sees the product is the role of UI/UX designer.

Or they are just lazy. Recently I had to implement text search and making it load the results instantaneously on every keystroke is easier than implementing a delay. I was hoping the client wouldn’t complain, and thus far he has not.

Or it is not a Software engineer's responsibility? There are roles for that, UI Designer, UX Designer....
