I think yes, to your first question. Couldn’t it just crunch the lidardata locally to feed into cartographer, I don’t understand why you don’t understand that this is the issue.

I was on desktop not app, where Spotify will let you search it’s catalogue without login.

Where do like… buy… music?

Looking at tidal, there doesn’t appear to be a way to search for music? Am I losing it?

Brilliant. It’s so valuable to have a manager that actually treats you like a professional in these situations. Sounds like a diamond in the rough alright.
Some agency when working goes a long way to fostering a really good working relationship. I’m still a lot earlier in my career, so generally in my first non-internship role I was expecting to be given little bits of work like change this button, widen this form, that kind of stuff.
Turns out I’d joined one of those “sink or swim” smaller companies where you have to wear a lot of hats. Initially I thought quite negatively about it but once I started to gain some confidence I realised he was giving me the time and space to properly learn stuff and develop it until it was “good”. He, thankfully, still shoots down my sillier ideas but if I have a good one he throws his full support behind me.
Currently he was like, I need you to investigate how to set up automated fraud prevention checks and flag, let’s say things, for clients to investigate further, and he sent me off for a week to analyse the problem, speak to everyone involved and gather a list of data points and how to calculate them. Then he gave me the time to design the system, including the mental room to develop our first shared lib after .net framework.
Really I’m rambling a bit, but my point is, you can get a lot of good work out of people if you invest in them and allow them some agency. Maybe some can’t work well without constant pressure, but I think a lot of people thrive when supported and enabled correctly by management.

Listen to yourself. Disingenuous, preachy, angry. I have no respect for people like you.

Why would I account for capitalism when my whole point is i don’t care what people’s opinions are?
Im talking about Tankie ideology so communism yes. But again, my point is I don’t care so to try to pit communism vs capitalism to gotcha me doesn’t even make sense.
Communism has a massive body count yes.
This form of verbal maneuvering that you display is falling from grace.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
I think that’s an intentional mischaracterisation. It’s more like sending money to a band that can’t be fucked moderating their discord.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
Many would argue tankies live by an ideology with a comparable body count to fascism.

Funny how agile seems to mean different things to different people.
- Comment on The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe 2 weeks ago:
That’s awesome. Your manager had some rare foresight in that case.
- Comment on The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe 2 weeks ago:
It’s not, but you’ll still hear it a lot. Funny, no one can agree on what “better” means, especially not the first person who wrote it, who had unclear requirements, too little time, and 3 other big tickets looming. All of these problems descend from management, they don’t always spontaneously come into being because of “bad devs”, although sometimes they do.

Me and a friend were talking about this recently. We don’t want to know our musicians opinions either. Because they are usually bastards. I’m just kinda sick of having to carry the worlds woes everytime I do anything. I listen to what I like, and I use services that I like. I won’t be brow beaten by anyone.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t seem clear cut at all after reading the whole thread. You support one thing who’s creator has questionable views but not the other. The main difference seems to be that you like one and not the other.

I presume they are implying that the play store review process will catch compromised apps? Not likely considering how many dodgy apps have been found on play store. It’s just another controlling act.
