Informal communication, informal collaboration, a culture of apprenticeship. To the extent that the organization values these they are all served much better in person than remote.

This raises two obvious questions;

- Were those things definitely happening in a way that actually benefits the company, or were people simply assuming they're happening?

- Why can't those things continue to happen in an environment where people work remotely?

Without satisfactory answers to those questions it's impossible to assert comms and collaboration are actually reasons to return to the office. For example, my experience of remote working (many years before lockdown, and during lockdown) has taught me that informal comms actually causes more ambiguity and moving to remote often means people are prone to "over communication" where they leave very little out. That has led to pain for some because there's a lot more email and messaging to deal with, but it also means everyone has a greater understanding of the project. Overall I'd argue that the 'formalization' of comms on a project that comes from everyone being remote and asynchronous is more of a benefit than a cost.
Why can't they just put the anonymized data as a "click to download data" link if they can't provide any meaningful text about it?
> My single biggest beef about PG is the lack of query planner hints.

Same here.

I did evaluate if to use PG for my stuff, but not having any hint available at all makes dealing with problems super-hard and potential bad situations become super-risky (esp. for PROD environments where you'll need an immediate fix if things go wrong for any reason, and especially involving 3rd party software which might not allow you to change the SQLs that it executes).

Not saying that it should be as hardcore as Oracle (hundreds of hints available, at the same time a quite stubborn optimizer), but not having anything that can be used is the other bad extreme.

I'd like as well to add that using hints doesn't have to be always the result of something that was implemented in a bad way - many times I as a human just knew better than the DB about how many rows would be accessed/why/how/when/etc... (e.g. maybe just the previous "update"-sql could have changed the data distribution in one of the tables but statistics would not immediately reflect that change) and not being able to force the execution to be done in a certain way (by using a hint) just leaved me without any options.

MariaDB's optimizer can often be a "dummy" even with simple queries, but at least it provides some way (hints) to steer it in the right direction => in this case I feel like I have more options without having to rethink&reimplement the whole DB-approach each time that some SQL doesn't perform.
I like to type my standup update into Teams and read from it when I’m on the mic. I tried to get the rest of my team to try that so we could skip the meeting itself but it didn’t stick.
I have a minimalist approach to interfaces, and work on 1080p (both desktop and laptop). I don't have second monitors and I don't intend to add any.

I don't doubt that adding screen estate has value, but in the minimalistic spirit, anything added also subtracts something :) And in the same spirit, anything subtracted adds something else - in my case, the ability to work more efficiently.

Try to work on a single screen for a relatively long time (say, a few months). Over the time, you'll develop (because you're forced to) more efficient habits.
> Why do we intentionally limit "the masses" ability to understand how businesses are financed

Someone in online forum (reddit iirc) said that even if they teach it, not many will follow. So I guess that demand isn't that high to begin with.

However if game or interactive actions can somehow teach it, it will reach many more people than lessons.
Adding an extra layer doesn't make things simpler. It may make it easier to do a second time, but the initial set up is just the same.
Religion is an interesting point. It's about identity and political affiliation is often also about identity, it plays the same role as religion: you cannot change teams without alienating yourself from your community.

What we're witnessing here is an (attempt?) at a catharsis in the republican base. I think it seema like a very good opportunity for many repubblicana to denounce trump and his extremist base as being not representative of the republican identity, thus saving their group identity without being dragged down with trump
I'm going to preface this by saying I'm a big fan of generative art (I've paid real money and have it on my wall).

But, IMHO very personal opinion, the actual product shown is not very good. The biggest issue with generative, and generative AI in general, is how to avoid appearing derivative.

Uh I see the problem. Some of the pieces are quite interesting if you zoom in. Perhaps show fewer pieces bigger?
semi-offtopic, but I would be very interested in a thread (or site) with content like this.

Edit: I guess kinda like a feature-bounty system.
Great points. I agree with them completely.

There are a lot we can do though, without leaving the React ecosystem. (Which you probably shouldn't because of React's popularity)

1. Ugliness of createElement API and JSX:

There is always Hyperscript: github.com/ohanhi/hyperscript-helpers.

2. CRA:

CRA is a monstrosity all right, which becomes more obvious when one has the misfortune of ejecting it. But it's not required at all. One can easily get away with a ~100 line Webpack config or with Parcel for simple scenarios. This is what is already happening, a lot of experienced users are avoiding CRA.

3. Hooks, fibers, suspense:

We don't have to use them. We have HOCs for years which are simply the React version of the venerable decorator pattern so actually no one needs a silly abstraction such as hooks. And I don't think fibers & suspense are features that the average React user needs to use at all. Just forget about them. Until you really really need them, but you'll know when this happens.

4. Global state and black magic:

Because of Redux' popularity, at some point a lot of developers started to believe that we should shift as much state as possible to a global data store. This resulted in a lot of unnecessary complication, pain and suffering in a lot of codebases. But of course this mindset is not to be blamed on Redux nor React itself. It is just the result of a poor understanding of state management, patterns established around this poor understanding, and copy paste culture. Global state is definitely not bad per se and not really threatening when it's experienced hands working on it.

Interesting. I have had bad cell connectivity in unfamiliar airports, though, where I could barely keep a connection to e.g. the Lyft servers. What if I can’t download the module when I need it? I don’t think requiring the user to download it in advance of their flight is viable, either. If we lived in a world of universal, homogeneous, inexpensive connectivity, I’d be satisfied with the solution you mention. I guess if they had location/policy micro-modules small enough to fit in a single MTU, then anybody who could connect to Uber at all could be served.

It still boggles my mind that there could be ~100M meaningful instructions in a program.
Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing.

This isn't precisely true. Git stores changes at the "blob" level. Large plaintext files (like a CSV) are generally split into several blobs. You are correct that git works badly for binary files, like images and compiled executables, But plaintext files like CSVs should be OK.
I'm guessing that the best way to solve this is to "take back the word" and use it in ways that demonstrate its banality and uselessness in debates.

Using fear to sway political discourse is an excellent definition of terrorism because it effectively labels both those causing the physical damage and those selling the antidote as terrorists. Getting a nation to spend billions to trillions of dollars on over-the-top security solutions and leading a country to war based on lies is as much of a terrorist act as 9-11.

Anti-terrorism would be getting every to calm down and avoiding overreactions and unhealthy obsessions, which is about as far from what has happened in the US and UK in the last ~12 years.

I really want to see all journalists and bloggers calling any and people advocating solutions based on fear called terrorists. Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist, Dick Cheney is a terrorist. Al Zawahiri is a terrorist. Barack Obama is a terrorist. Mussolini was a terrorist. George W. Bush is a terrorist. Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist. David Cameron is a terrorist. Ashcroft is a terrorist. Hitler was a terrorist. Mao was a terrorist. Stalin was a terrorist. etc.

If you're selling fear, you're terrorist.

Not terrorists? Dalai Lama. Bradley Manning. Ghandi. Ladar Levison. Martin Luther King, Jr. Edward Snowden. Nelson Mandela. Julian Assange. etc.
I left New York not because I couldn't afford the prices (if I stayed in finance, that'd be a non-issue) but because I started hating what the high real estate prices did to the culture. You do get to a point, around 35, where your only options (if staying in NYC) are to move into management or finance. Non-financial programmers don't make enough to live there, and managers don't get to program.

I also think that New York's tech scene has a lot of quantity but not much in the way of quality. For every good company there are 50 dipshit companies founded by fired bankers and real estate guys who think waterfall is a valid software methodology and not an anti-pattern.

High housing prices truly are culturally toxic. I'm surprised more people don't get that.
No worries, I did learn something. I probably took that in a way I shouldn't have. Thanks!

do you project a turnaround right now? Looking at their current product base I would say "hell no!". Microsoft has nothing up and coming to convince me they will gain more search users. Each and every time they have unveiled a new search or online tool they have failed to capture the market. I do not see what will be different in the future once they come up with their next big idea. Bing is clearly not going to take over even with it being the default in internet explorer.

I prefer one package manager for OS-wide system tools. Then I can just do "brew upgrade" and have everything in sync.

I'm not a Python dev, so I don't care what Pip has installed. I would want to be able to blow my Python installation and not worry about my system tools disappearing.
The confusion here probably comes from the past tense phrasing. "We wouldn't do it again" strongly implies "If we were in the same situation as before we wouldn't do the same thing."

It'd be more clear to say "We probably won't do it again," I think. And if you did end up needing multiple entry-level hires, it sounds like you would be open to a similar approach?
Yeah, it's the name of the leader of Islamic State. That NSA and CIA are competing to kill him is just a statement of fact (which he'd gladly repeat if asked); it's not particularly racist, and doesn't even say anything about agreeing with the targeting decision.
Arguably, that all is breadth, not depth.
Wouldn’t this possibility depend on security holes in Virtualbox rather than in the guest OS?
If it was me I'd delete both large photos (neither relevant to article) and zoom out to 80%.

I'm not sure what PC you're using but full-width is not nearly as egregious as full-height. On my 20" 4:3, the first photo is almost exactly 100% height, second is perhaps 120% height.

Yes, back-end integrations seem to be one of the main reasons why users decide to adopt us. Being able to add their own components is also one of the big reasons. Also, being able to customize the front-end without limits also reassures developers who were mainly interested in using back-end integrations.

I really like your point of vue on the marketplace approach and tend to agree. Most users will want off the shelf elements that they can customize easily (especially marketers). We will start working on the marketplace this Spring.

As for react in vue, our problem really lies into the pre-rendering -> the main problem is that we have react in a vue.js environment which can create performance problems and conflicts between the two frameworks.
Two things make that unlikely; cars have to grip the road and by the time you're getting close to G limits tires will start to skid and second the forces aren't in the right directions. For the former the closest a car gets to the levels that induce G-LOG are Formula 1 cars during braking (~5G) and during cornering (4-6G) [0] so even the highest performing cars out there you're just barely approaching where you might threaten G-LOC. The latter is why I think it won't really happen though because the acceleration is (basically [1]) never vertical like in fighter jets during climbs and turns. The forces in a car are, w.r.t. the human riding, forwards, backwards, and side to side and those directions don't force blood out of the head. Braking gets closest because the feet are furthest forwards but it's not quite the same.

[0] Acceleration is a measly ~2G at peak

[1] To avoid pedantry there is a case but that's on extremely high bank turns that only exist on test tracks really, NASCAR track banks might get close but I don't think get Gs there get high enough before cars break free up into the wall to threaten G-LOC.
Any sources? At least my experience tells differently.
I think it's fair to say that in recent times "Ireland was enjoying a quality of life that could not be sustained" but the explanation you offered is incorrect. In reality it was based on a property bubble and cheap investment capital due to artificially low interest rates engineered by the chief eurocrats. Go back a little further and the explanation for increasing employment in the 90s is based on having a young, well educated and underemployed population just as globalization was really kicking off.

Ireland joined the EU in 1973. If "subsidies" and "job luring" are the explanation, I'd have expected to see more progress way back then.

I'm not sure where you're going with your arguments that it was all based on "EU subsidies" and "luring jobs", but since others may read this I wanted to correct the record.

edit: it is true that the UK lent money to the Republic of Ireland in order to bail out UK banks with massive exposure to the property bubble - a bubble created in large part by the reckless practices of those very same banks. That loan has to be paid back by Irish tax payers.
Python? Come help! http://cloudsilverlining.org
As a coder, there's a few things I look for:

1. The business person needs to understand that they can't make all the shots. Because they're business doesn't mean they handle all of it, especially product
2. Passionate about your idea, but understand that a technical point of view can greatly change the idea
3. Don't act like an enterprise business person. Don't think about team size as a measure of success for example.
4. Show you can bring more than ideas and opinion to the table. You need to be able to close deals, raise money, talk and persuade, have user acquisition plans that you can execute without code, have a very popular blog, twitter account, and a following of people who respect you already.
My family moved from China to Canada during my high school years. It was Brave New World (along with Animal Farm) that really opened up my eyes what a Communist world I was raised in.

Yes, Huxley could be cruel on his depicting of the native stereotypes (like most elitists during his days). But besides stereotypes, I think it's equally important to educate kids about ideologies -- and the big social and political systems we live in -- with that in mind few literature titles could come even close to Brave New World.
If I were him, I'd be tempted to make an image of his drive, and compare that to an image made after the agents tampered with it, to see what changes occurred in the process.

But like he said, he couldn't even trust them physically. I'd be tempted to just toss them in the trash, if I could afford to easily replace them.

Let me quote from your own source:

"There have been numerous biological experiments conducted, with nonhuman organisms, that demonstrate that the rate at which radiation dose is delivered can affect the extent of biological response. Thus a sufficiently high dose delivered over a period of a few minutes may be expected to have a greater biological impact than the same dose spread over a year."

The only question is what constitutes a "sufficiently high" dose, due to extrapolation. See 5).

THEIR OWN POSITION PAPER on backscatter scanners recommends per-screening and per-year (time limit!) maximums FAR below the threshold that they claimed wasn't a problem in the first place -- see 8).

4) Further, the terse "no" answer looked disingenuous. The cited position paper link was broken but I tracked it down.

It appears to be "Radiation Risk in Perspective", PS010-2 (which I assume is the updated version of PS010-1).

It has nothing to say about doses over short time periods.

http://www.hps.org/hpspublications/positionstatements.html

5) The issue seems to be that there is very little data about low-dose exposures, so regulations are based on extrapolation from high-dose exposures.

See http://www.ncrponline.org/PDFs/TST_NRC%20_04-08-08.pdf (third slide)

6) What it does say is this:

"the Health Physics Society recommends against quantitative estimation of health risks below an individual dose of 5 rem in one year or a lifetime dose of 10 rem above that received from natural sources."

7) The whole point of their objection was that we lack the empirical evidence to extrapolate from high doses to low doses. Then the article you cite does exactly that. They go from saying, "we lack proof that the answer is X" to saying, "the answer is ~X".

8) The recommended standard "limits the reference effective dose delivered to the subject to 0.25 microsieverts (25 microrem) per screening. Additionally, a screening facility should not expose any individual to more than 250 microsieverts (25 millirem) reference effective dose in a year."

"Use of Ionizing Radiation for Security Screening Individuals" PS017-1

http://www.hps.org/hpspublications/positionstatements.html

How they can go from saying in the first paper, "However, below 5–10 rem (which includes occupational and environmental exposures), risks of health effects are either too small to be observed or are nonexistent" to supporting a maximum of 0.025 rem per year is entirely unclear.

Except that the Health Physics Society seems to have turned into a pro-industry spokesgroup.

The current president works for Dade Moeller, who are embroiled in a number of controversies, to put it lightly.

A lot of extremely damaging information is cited in the original link below.

""Hirsch then zeroed in on Dade Moeller’s radiation plan and on the controversial company itself, whose namesake testified back in the 1990s that money spent on cleaning up Cold War-era nuclear facilities was being wasted since there would be a cure for cancer."

> This is my problem with GC. I like simplicity. Simplicity tends to perform well, and being simple also means it has little space for problems. Refcounting is simple and elegant,

Reference counting isn't conceptually any more simple than garbage collection (you still have to indicate how the underlying alloc() and free() operations are implemented). Further, a proper high performance reference counting system isn't any simpler than a high performance GC. In a multithreaded system you have to keep the reference counts in sync without doing a slow atomic operation every time a pointer is passed around, and you need to back the ref counting system with a high performance malloc()/free() that can handle multithreaded allocation and is resistant to memory fragmentation.
