Iceland runs plenty of these and has a nice culture of frequenting the public bathhouse. It’s one of the few things you can do that is actually affordable there.
They do have the advantage of having essentially infinite clean energy in the form of geothermal heat. As do Japan in many cases, for that matter. I’m sure that has something to do with these institutions having staying power there.
Anyway, I think this idea has merits, but not as an energy saving measure. The reason for this is that in order to maintain good water quality, you have to shower thoroughly before getting into the bath, negating the potential energy benefits of the initiative. We can bring it back for it being nice, though!
It’s reducing the effort and time I have to put into some things, and I appreciate that. It’s far from perfect, but it doesn’t have to be perfect to be useful.
You upload the binary to the App Store, and as a part of the release process they may inspect the binary to figure out what it’s doing.
They of course don’t do that for everything as it’s a bit complicated to do for everything, but it can be an effective means to for example figure out when an app is calling an API in a prohibited manner.
1.8B was the fine they got for anticompetitive behaviour with regards to Apple Music, which is not an insignificant amount for that business unit.
The fines for DMA-violations go up to 10% of global revenue for first-time violations and 20% of global revenue for repeat violations. I would love to see Apple continue fucking around and letting Apple find out in the form of a fine of that magnitude. It would be so damn sweet.
The fact that you have to kind of understand how git works under the hood to really unlock its full potential is a definite design flaw of the tool, but given its ubiquitous use in our industry, I encourage you to check out how git works under the hood. Once you learn the underlying concepts, you reach a whole new level of proficiency with git, no longer having to just get by, and instead you get to thrive.
I disagree wholeheartedly with this. I consider the commit history as documentation for pull requests and for future history, and as such I make liberal use of interactive rebasing to curate my commits.
Rebasing in general is one of those things that I picked up fairly late, but now it’s essential to my git workflow.
Why would there be any fraud? His salary is approved by the board that represents the current shareholders.
It’s also not particularly surprising on account of there being plenty of VC-subsidised companies that never turned a profit, had high salaries for their executives and then IPO’d.
If your question is moreso on the absurdities of capitalism, then that’s another discussion entirely, but I feel it’s important to note that this is nothing out of the ordinary.
So you’re probably not going to be able to swing getting a project greenlit to test everything on your frontend, partly because your management seems a bit stingy, and partly because it’s probably not the best approach to do this kind of thing anyway.
To the claim of that you can’t test UI: only if you’re not creative enough. Behavior can 100% be tested, and is worthwhile to test, while UI looks can be verified with screenshot tests.
How I would probably approach this would be:
Following these steps should successively put the codebase into a healthier state.
Another perhaps even more valid option would be to look for a better job - working in headwind from management is not recommended, as it will deteriorate your mental health.
Good luck!
That’s easy to know, actually. Spotify pays 70% of revenue to rights holders, and keeps 30%. Hence an increase of $1 will mean $0.30 for Spotify, and $0.70 to rights holders.

This is the real explanation. Couple that with a push in the late 90s/early 2000s to roll out high-speed unmetered internet in the form of ADSL and later fiber.
