I worked in distributed teams (though in a local office) for about 10 years. The organization was fairly good at this, in terms of structure and policy and procedure. In fact, we would very frequently run short-term projects where teams formed, and then broke up at the end. Furthermore, we frequently did collaboration with external groups (particularly when we were collaborating with a client).

I really miss working there, and wish I could go back. Switching to a traditional in-office company 3 years ago, I really tried to impress upon them how badly run they are, and how they could improve their processes - but the culture was just too ossified and toxic. People have to want to change, and the people I have worked with since then just don't want to, and they're comfortable with the inefficiencies, and enabling of toxic team members. Don't get me wrong, we have some really smart coders, but as team-mates, they're hell to work with.

That said: I don't really want to go back to the office, even if it helps smooth out projects with my passive-aggressive team mates. I'd rather tough it out until I can find my way into a better employer with a sane work environment, and if that's 100% remote, that's cool.
Yeah that can work. I've had a barbecue and games with my current full remote team before lockdowns, it was fun, and seeing them face to face was nice. But it was during work hours. And I still took my car and drove back home at the end of the day - maybe a bit later than usual, but I still could kiss my son goodbye. I've had two days/one night retreats at another role, too, they were fun. But they were planned in advance, exceptional events.
The latest version of Tango with Django is from 2019 and is compatable with Danjango 2.2. Has a lot changed since then, if one was to work with 3.2?
Rich people have existed before today, you know, and yet they didn't do such things.

> sounds like a HUGE safety problem for him AND his family.

You watch too many action movies. No one's going to spend the months of background checks and negotiation and tens of millions of dollars it would take to buy a mansion next to Zuckerthing's just to kidnap him or something.

The threat to rich people are from career criminals, not other rich people.
Grep integration would be awesome -- e.g. "find files with name satisfying x and content satisfying y", or (even better) "files in which grep query y is satisfied within n lines of a spot satisfying grep query y".
It seems like the title of this essay should be "My Daily Standup is a Waste of Time." To which the obvious answer is: ok, so change it. That (in my humble opinion) is the basic core feature of agile, that teams own their own processes.

So, if your standup is too long/short/etc, bring it up at retro, propose a fix, try that for a while, and iterate until it's working well. And if you're not empowered to change your process, well, change the title of your essay to, "Agile-in-name-only is a waste of time."
I suspect he uses both 120VAC and 12VDC - the first to provide a clock reference, and the second to power the circuitry. It wouldn't be hard to wire in the 120VAC connection in addition to having a 12VDC adapter.

Just a guess but it would surprise me if his phone isn't the beacon.
It sounds like you're thinking of market segments, not niches. Semantics.
Depending on the supply requirements, he might use voltage ripple as a reference.

With an unsmoothed rectified supply you get a nice "pulsed" input anyway:

Another dissapointment. I want personal Wiki combined with calendar (something like Zim). It should run acrosss many devices offline. And synchronize using existing network infrastructure (Git or email). I will probably have to write it by myself :-)
> That sounds like good advice, but it seems more like basic defensive measures than something really advantageous.

Well, the next step would be to determine what exactly it is that you want career-wise in the short/medium/long term.

You then use the daily interactions to gradually nudge your way there. e.g. if you want to be a manager, you need to create outcomes where you prove that you can manage people with out having authority. That shows that once you get the authority, you will know what you are doing.
I feel really sorry about you not getting upvotes, want a hug?

Maybe this has to do with the fact that you just don't understand what is being discussed here.

Market share is meaningful when we are talking about market share.

Nobody disputed that Apple is #1 in profits (I said so myself), but we're discussing what OS will be dominant in units in the next few years, and all the indicators point to Android at about 70% and Apple struggling to remain above 10%.

Which is what brought up this topic in the first place, since this market break down is reminiscent of the current Windows / Mac OS market.
What are your thoughts on this behavior overall? I mean, your opinion. When do we precisely know that '5' means '5::Integer'? At which point does GHC or really Haskell in general, I assume, make this decision?
Good call, I was misusing it as a synonym for mu, in the sense of challenging the assumptions behind a question.

Thanks. That's helped to clarify things much more than my own reading found. Maybe it would be a good idea to put something up on the various sites to signpost new people to?

Thanks again though. Looking forward to trying out Pyramid
There's a good way to do this and a bad way. One good way is to make the link text specific to a unique product. If 'Sony 30" XXX-700' was used as the link text, instead of 30" Monitor it would be a detailed link telling the user that they're going to a page specific to that item. Another option is to put all your referral links at the bottom of the post and highlight some of the best 30" monitors to choose from. Same for all the other product types you linked to.

The bad way is to link a nondescript phrase like 30" Monitor to a random 30" monitor on Amazon. It doesn't provide any basis to understand why you linked to that specific monitor. Are you recommending that monitor specifically? Is that the only one out there? Etc.
Exactly this.

Stuff like this really should be a reminder of the dark history imposed by some nations over others that just stunted their growth during the most important time of human history.
Well-put. I participated in a protracted comment thread several weeks ago about the use of 'number' in HTML input field 'type' attributes. The problem was inexperienced HTML writers using 'type=number' for phone numbers, order numbers, social security numbers, account numbers, etc. The resulting interface elements— e.g. increment/decrement— are designed for elements like quantities and are more harmful than helpful with those more common uses.

I argued that in general, people are perfectly correct in calling telephone numbers, order numbers, account numbers, social security numbers, etc. "numbers" regardless of how a computer handles them. I also argued that the purpose of HTML was to describe data rather than how it should be handled, and that argument is to describe formatting rather than a data type. I asserted that a general-use term like "number" was wrong for a field with such specific use cases obvious only to developers.

Personally, I think the shakiest part of my argument was asserting the purpose of that label. To my surprise, others only argued that labelling those other things 'numbers' was not accurate in general because computers didn't treat them like numbers, and supported the current label 'text.'

OED definition 3a for number:
> An arithmetical value assigned to something or someone, esp. to indicate position in a series, or for purposes of reference, identification, etc.

There is no definition for 'text' in the unabridged OED that describes anything other than words.

English is a descriptive language and software doesn't override that. Most people see a collection of numerals with punctuation and think "that's a number" and that's clearly how we use the term in regular language. "Order Number" and "Telephone Number" (3b for 'number' in the OED) are not colloquialisms. The most common uses for fields those developers would consider 'real numbers' — e.g. quantity— don't even have the word 'number' in the name.

I don't even expect most developers to intuitively recognize how these ingrained shorthands differ from the rest of the world, but we MUST NOT instinctively dismiss indicators that our perspective isn't representative. We're making the tools modern folks use to solve many of their problems and we stand to make their lives a lot worse by assuming our use cases, language, challenges, and perspectives are the same or more worth considering.
Neat, clean, minimalist and easy to use, providing interesting tech feed from multiple sources in one spot.
How so, NFTs are exactly about requiring to own a picture to use it and that nobody else can use it.

I finally found a full proof way of making any egg easy to peel. I wonder if it would work with eggs like these. I pressure steam then in an instant pot for about three minutes.
But how can you troubleshoot the remote machine if you're seeing your local filesystem?

Everything you run to test whether the remote is working uses only the CPU of the remote machine, not its files, which is where the problem usually is.
You can do a lot of R&D for $40B. A lot.
Agree. Society basically introduces its newest members to society through something closer to a penal system than knowledge transfer.

Granted, children are not necessarily trustable to figure it all out on their own. It’s more the bullying, anti-intellectualism, and generally not considering their needs that needs checking.

These are all actually interesting self-help tips but they are not related to a medical condition like brain fog. If you have persistent brain fog and can't attribute it to fatigue or something like that, obviously you need a doctor.
Beyond the mushy feels good and free advices from the article you might also want to check yourself for physical problems such as dehydration, Lyme disease, sleep apnea, chronic fatigue syndrome, poor diet, poor sleep, depression and other causes a googling for “brain fog“ should return.
Yup. I've met a number of old farts like me who were not thrilled when what we assumed was transient had been archived. I'm not a big fan of the opt-out model of archiving where archivers just assume that they have implied consent to grab anything and everyone from everyone who hasn't explicitly said no.
> We’re going to see what we can do for you,” he says they told him. He figured if they put in fiber optics in his area, it will improve speed for his neighbors too.

Honestly, I’d consider paying $10k for fiber internet run to my (relatively) rural house.
I think that poster isn't disagreeing but merely saying that that doesn't necessarily mean such a system couldn't be compromised in a future election. (Unless every single polling station with machines does a recount by hand for all elections from now on. But then it might put into question why we have the machines at all.)

This is similar to the common argument about voter fraud. Of course there was almost certainly basically no fraud to speak of in this election, like usual. (And that's important to emphasize, especially right now.) But the way this overall topic tends to be approached in general is very odd, to me:

There's a routinely used argument that concern about voter fraud is ridiculous because there's essentially been no significant incidence of it in modern history. This isn't unreasonable to bring up, but I think by itself is a very poor approach to risk assessment that's reminiscent of early COVID predictions/warnings/guidance and 2016 election odds from many of the same people. Especially when some foreign intelligence agencies appear to be getting increasingly brazen, and when considering that for most of the recorded history, voting was a lot less digitized.

There was almost no incidence of jets being deliberately flown into buildings as a form of WMD, until some people pulled out all their cards and exploited a "0-day", doing as much damage as they could in a single effort before a "patch" could be deployed. And sometimes it's simply a matter of no one making a serious, motivated attempt to do something until one day someone finally does.
Question about WhatsApp and contact access:

I’ve turned off contact access. I can’t see the names behind the numbers. Will fb still see the numbers of the new contacts I message?
Telegram, Signal, Discord, some via Email depends on the people. Everyone has a second or third messaging app
While I applaud this fine hacker job I am curious about practicality of this.

If the goal is to use to use the bike part with the other applications would not it be simpler for user to simply buy any pedal / crank based power-meter. Going this way one can also choose way less expensive spin bikes.

If the goal is to share Peloton Bike with the person who actually uses it as originally intended then power meter I think is still valid and less intrusive approach.
If Trump claimed the election was stolen in 2022, nobody would accuse him of a coup attempt that needs freedoms curtailed. The treatment is different because the intention is different, Clinton was throwing mud while Trump seems to want to stay in power.
> People didn't know I wasn't getting their messages.

They saw 2 ticks, meaning delivered to your device? Or did they see one tick, meaning only delivered to the server?

If it's the latter, that's a reasonable choice for the server to make. The server has acknowledged receipt of the message, and failed to send it to your device.

If you wanted WhatsApp to advertise to your contacts that your account was inactive, you could have maybe sent them a message yourself?
> We have absolutely no idea whether the vote counts in the US are authentic.

Of course we do. Georgia did a full hand recount this election, finding no evidence of anything like what you're alleging. And many states do random-sample hand recounts every election. We didn't check every single vote, but "absolutely no idea" is way off the mark.
The question is "To which app are you going to switch?", not "What are you using?"

It may take a long time and huge effort to switch, but people are starting to do it.
Yes, the second paragraph in the parent comment is a distraction from the valid point.
How does Nim's static typing compared to TypeScript and (Simple) Haskell?
It would be interesting to know what processes they go through for each acquisition. After so many they must have optimised it. My guess is it isn't like Microsoft buying Nokia.
I've been on both sides. You can think of the main people involved as:

- internal executive sponsor (for a company the size of Apple there are probably 100 people who might be able to sponsor an acquisition and shepard it through, it's definitely at least 10). So this means for the sponsor it's more likely 1 a year or less. While Tim Cook is almost certainly involved in some way in each transaction, it is likely limited to a couple of hours.

- corporate development people, who help source deals and strategize, more scalable and are capable of working on multiple deals at once

- lawyers, who are easy to scale

So it's not in my opinion too hard, particularly for the small acquisitions Apple makes. It's the big acquisitions that are real organizational time sucks, because there you are limited by the CEO. Apple hasn't done one of those since NEXT.

The internet is a better place if we engage with the actual content of articles and not just the headline. By only engaging solely with the headline you are just encouraging more clickbait by proving to content creators that the headline is all that matters.
I have 12 years of Tech recruitment experience and was about to write exactly this (with worse grammar and style though).

Hi,
I am Tom, founder of Recallmagic. I have created an online tool for image classification without the need for training. You do not need to spend time finding example images for training. It should be useful for people who do not haveany experience with computer vision, nor have enough time and resources to do the classifier itself.

Just write down the textual description of classes you want to classify. You can predict images immediately.

It would be possible to do the opposite. You can find images that are closest to the class you entered ( Visual search ).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can test few of the prepared examples for classification here:

Dog/Cat classifier ...https://recallmagic.com/classifier/dog,cat
Brand of car classifier ... https://recallmagic.com/classifier/bmw,hyundai,volkswagen,au...

If you want to create yourown classifier, just signup

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The code needs much more polish, but I would be happy to learn from your feedback.

Best,
Tom!
But CSS style attributes like .style.left are never zero-leading, and in that case you don't need to pass the radix.
simple, useful. I like it.
Right here:

poetry build -f wheel
poetry publish

You asked for packaging, and that is pretty much it. Of course, setting up a project and its dependencies take a bit more work; the basic intro for that is here: https://python-poetry.org/docs/basic-usage/
Yeah, Telegram is way ahead of everything else in terms of usability. Also it isn't a resource hog like everything Facebook.
Honest to god, isn’t shooting it just any direction in space safer?!
Speaking of thermal throttling on Macbooks, it's also worth pointing out that after 2 years the thermal paste on the CPU should be replaced, which is only a few dollars. I wish Apple made this a free maintenance along with removing internal dust.
Why does it take physicists so long to find the complete foundation of the universe? I want an answer in my lifetime.
The TV show was great because it really got me feeling that everything was random, then everything was connected in some ridiculously complex way, exactly how it should for a holistic story.

I'd recommend the TV show for anyone that has gotten a bit too good at predicting endings a few episodes before the end. This one doesn't follow the traditional story arcs.
Pretty much exactly this for me. I realized that there's not really any value for me to be in touch with people from grade school/high school/college that I wouldn't otherwise interact with. I'm thinking that this will make going to reunions a bit more interesting as well since now I will genuinely not know what most of these people have been up to for the last decade and we will have that as a topic of conversation before we step out of each other's lives for the next decade.
It looks like it wasn't a big deal to perform the lookup, so I guess it comes down to what the engineer was familiar wit.

It does say later in the post that they used a local proxy to confirm their findings, too. Maybe they wanted to check from both sides, just to be sure.
It got me hooked on programming, classical music and Escher at a young age. The best way to approach it is to realise the author's intention. He wants to explore the question: what is a self? If you keep that in mind, then his overall approach makes more sense.
>It's not an exact correlation by any means. But it's close

Uh no, there is no correlation there, and even if there were correlation the author hasn't shown any causation. The author didn't even try to compare numbers, he just looked threw up two maps and said hey, these look kind of similar.
Yup - and he was offerred this earlier on in the story - though when he pushed the police on the pat-down procedure, they wouldn't commit to anything. They said they "might" have to pat him down before escorting him (which seems reasonable if they are being asked to securely transport him through the facility. While they didn't insist on groping his nads like the TSA does, they couldn't promise that wouldn't happen at all. There was wiggle room there. Had the cops said "We aren't like the TSA -but if we're going to escort you out of the building, we need to pat you down for weapons like we would any other person we're transporting - are you okay with that?" it might have been over.
Could keep tracking but give the option to pay and see the reports or not pay and miss out on them?
It's also a shame the GAE team didn't pay any attention to any established frameworks that could have worked perfectly fine within GAE's constraints, like Pylons. Shortly after App Engine came out I put significant effort into making Pylons and related libraries work with GAE, but when there were problems on their end it felt like they reluctantly doing me a favor to respond to the bug reports and make changes. It felt like they had an anti-library mindset, even though there was no technical reason a lot of libraries wouldn't work well on App Engine.
I do know, anecdotally, of someone who is literally unable to eat meat(causes digestive problems). A rare case, and I'm pretty sure ovo-lacto vegetarianism is still OK. For my part I'm definitely one of the meat-eating types, though I have my limits.

A bit more OT diet-related: As the months have grown colder I recently noticed a dangerous binge-type craving for sweet stuff. So I decided I would go low-carb and high-fat for a few days leading up to Thanksgiving just to see if it could change my appetite. It's made a very obvious difference. One daily Starbucks venti breve latte just obliterates the problem, though it's a bit hard to digest and tiresome to drink.
I'm living in an era where the US dominance is at its highest. May be I'm alone.

Let's look around. My computer, my phone, websites and services I use, the cars (we used to buy French ones, now as Ford and other alternatives are available, we and the whole Tunisian population are somehow diversifying)....

Everything you can think of, from food to Energy or wars, if you make a deeper look and analysis, you'll notice a dependency to Europe, but more increasingly to the USA in that last decade.

China? They produce huge amounts of goods. Think of the $99 Android Tablet quality. They are quite popular, yes, but I don't think they match the Americans in term of profitability.

I really wonder how is this America big decline? They have better education, stronger army, more resources and lot of smart people.
The TSA does not have any statutory authority that I can identify to levy $10k civil fines for no reason.

That number isn't pulled out of thin air; it's from 49 USC § 1503.401, and it's the maximum civil penalty the TSA can assess against anyone who isn't actually operating an aircraft.

In other words, $10k is what the TSA has statutory authority to bill you if you hit a TSA agent.

Meanwhile: the specific list of things that 49 USC § 1540 forbids does not include refusing a search (though it does include attempting to board a flight without being searched).

The TSA has made the authority it is claiming up out of whole cloth, in an effort to keep people from fouling up the lines and making more embarrassing Youtube videos.
