I get where you're coming from here, but in the days where you can get a Linux computer for $US35 that has a 1.2Ghz quad core and a gig of RAM, it doesn't make much sense to go through the contortions necessary to develop for a toaster. The cost/benefit just isn't there.
VSCode isn't even remotely near VS. But WPF did get a lot of work once VS decided to use it. Up until then, WPF couldn't even render text without making it blurry - that's how little effort it had.

I'm guessing that with the Longhorn disaster WPF lost whatever resources it was going to get to make it really kick ass.

My problem with an office or open office is not the noise, I can put on headphones and be fine, but is the actual interruptions.

In an open office it is obviously much easier for someone to just lean over or look around their monitor and grab your attention, but having a private office with a door is still prone to someone knocking (or walking in if not closed)

Working from home, people can email, chat, or leave a phone message and in any case when I am focusing none of those will bother me until I make an effort to check for messages. Emergency calls can get through by calling me twice.

The only reason I'd like to be in an office is often my workmates become friends, and I want to "hang out" with my friends

It might hurt the consumer but it doesn't hurt the one holding the monopoly (nvidia in this case). It would be like Microsoft actively working to port their prized game Halo (Nvidia GPUs) to the PS4 (OpenCL) when they already have a perfectly good platform on the xbox (CUDA) which they happened to create as well.
Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm grinding through stuff I know exactly how to do, but can't automate away, I find having something like people talking or an audiobook I know well running in the background actually helps me focus. It occupies just enough of my mind that I don't feel tempted to get distracted by the internet.

I have a whole range of preferred noise depending on the task, from dead silence for hard, tricky problems up to what I just described for easy but important detail work. I even know exactly what kind of music I want to listen to for different tasks, and whether or not I want vocals in it.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to what works for people.
> electronic voting is inherently flawed and is a terrible idea

I see this expressed a lot. But the argument always seems to actually be that electronic voting doesn't play nicely with anonymous voting.

It's possible that either might be a better choice than the other.

If you give people a way to prove that they voted a certain way, then the election is robust against rigging, but you've also allowed vote-selling as a side effect.

I don't think it's even possible any more. Haswell and later are 8-wide designs, but can only fetch+decode and retire 4 instructions per cycle (peak). So one would need ops that decode to 2+ execution-unit independent µops.

Linear data-dependent algorithms are also such a huge pain: "Why does that only shovel 500 MB/s?" Well... five instructions long dependency chain, that's why!

Please disable file notified hooks for files in WSL. One of the big reasons why I prefer to work on linux in office like environments is because Symantec etc heavily hook file IO on windows making things like compilation / checkout very slow compared to linux. When WSL came out I was hoping it would sidestep the slow hooked IO problem in windows but some investigation revealed that file modified / created hooks are still triggered for files in WSL. Any change of this being removed?

The WordPress community Slack forced Slack to implement some server-side changes when it hit ~5,000 people though (I don't remember the exact number, but I remember when things started to not work), and I suspect it's the largest resource-consuming instance in my Slack client.

The problem with that video is that it assumes that that the internet is involved at some stage. In India, that isn't the case.

EVMs are not internet enabled, neither are they "programmed" by sticking a USB in them. They come in huge sealed boxes to the centres, and are carried back the same away. The data never leaves these machines. If my knowledge is correct, the data can only be accessed by a high ranking election official called the RO.

Paper ballots were the norm in India for over 40 years before EVMs were introduced. Election fraud has been non-existent since then.

This depends on so many things - your comment is precisely hysterical.

It depends on where you live, whether or not you check yourself after you leave the woods, what kinds of ticks they are, whether the disease is being carried, and what kind of disease it is.

I grew up in the woods. I've had lots of ticks crawl all over me. I've only been bitten a time or two. And the ticks I've encountered don't carry Lyme's disease.

And that is NOT to say that my experience is everyone's experience and that there is no danger. But your comment is absolutely exaggerated.
BTW: I'm running 10GbaseT at my house, and every single foot of it is cheap cat5e. Its rock solid (yah I can monitor mangled packets drop rates on my switch). I've had a lot of people talk down copper 10G and tell me things like its not possible to use anything but cat6A or better. Which is a load of BS if your runs are well under the 200M that is possible with cat 6A. I think my switch actually says that that it supports runs of 45M on cat5E, which is probably still 2x the max run in my house.

Frankly, the asus XG-D2008 and a few Chinese x540 boards (~$100 for two ports)with cat5 cost less than some of the fancy home AP's and is well within the prices I paid for my first 1G hardware. Two workstations and a server should be less than $600.

Adding to this this, there is the Ubiquiti US-16-XG which also has a bunch of SFPs for under $600.
There are definitely people out there who will exaggerate the dangers.
What's worse, many times their actions will lead to some piece of legislation, which will now govern the lives of millions of people; so now you pay the price of being over regulated even though the risks associated with some activity x are quite low, and there's no reason to complicate the system.

But I believe more often than not people will remain passive in the face of a misfortune, and will simply carry on with their lives. And this what prompted me to want to recognize people – such as the lady in the article – because through little tweaks like theirs our society becomes safer, better.

The question is "do police believe internet threats are credible?" It appears that many police departments do not find the threats credible by themselves, so SWATing isn't as dangerous as it was a few years ago.

But it also appears that some police departments are more easily convinced than others. So the real question is "does the police department in my area -- the one most likely to decide whether to raid my house -- believe internet threats are credible?"

I don't think this is the differentiating factor. The EU is very diverse, I think the difference is that Europe has had a far longer time for its inhabitants to resolve or overcome their differences. It was only a little under 150 years ago that people with dark skin in America were still considered property and it was at around the same time that Asian immigrants first came to the country. In Europe, the English and French were on-and-off fighting each other for 600 years.

Plus, the US is extremely individualistic, while European countries tend to be more communal. I think this also contributes to the increased tension between factions in the US.

Finally, the US has far higher gun ownership, so law enforcement in the US has to deal with gun violence while Europe does not.

As a westerner, is there like a list of such use cases to help get the point across? The things I've read so far here sound like the kind of things we already have offerings for too (making travel easier or etc), just not usually all under one roof.

Sending money via text is a great example, but reading more examples would be helpful in understanding, which is why I ask.
Why do you think I'm "selling my soul" just because I go into the office and eat the free food they provide? I work normal 40 hour weeks. I'm not being dragged away from my home and my life. You've got an overly cynical take on it. They're just nice perks that the company can provide cheaply at scale, e.g. I'd rather get three free meals per day than the $5,000 it costs my employer to make those meals per employee, because if I were buying those meals out it'd cost more than $5,000 per year.

I'm the only one at our small company that works remotely. I miss so much of what is going on decision wise.

Any talk of new clients, potential new business, larger future projects are all communicated to me once they are mostly already hashed out. This keeps me from playing a bigger part in the company and thus the work they throw my way is more on the grunt/boring side.

I love working remotely though and I'm not working in the tiny open office they have. I would be interested in seeing what the dynamic is like with a full remote team.
Technology changes so fast that most of this tests are obsolete by the time you take them. The best technologists rely on their knowledge, so they spend their time and efforts staying current. On the other hand, you have weak applicants who know a certification is their only way to a job so they put their efforts into it.

Sorry, but if your 6-figure rate is a joke, go get a higher rate, or even better, go out and start your own company. If you build your own company you will understand the value that other roles have and get away from the arrogant mentality that good code is the most valuable thing. The fact is, you aren't in a position to evaluate the value that all the other roles are bringing to the company.

There's a reason that very few companies have a strong technical track, and managers tend to get paid more than ICs. It's because managing personalities and orchestrating teams to operate efficiently has a huge magnifying effect on productivity. On a purely technical track, you can have an even bigger impact if you are a highly skilled architect, but only if there are technical challenges of that scope, which is not the case for most companies.

A cognitive trap that programmers can fall into is that their work is the hardest and most valuable because of its exacting nature. Given the details you have to understand and reconcile, it's true that you can't bullshit your way very far as a developer the way that some managers can, but that said, since no one else is probably taking the time to understand your work in great detail, it's very easy to spin a self-serving story of your own superiority. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because you are technical your self-assessment is objective, it is not.
Why would running a Tor exit node ever imply that the people exiting at that node are speaking on your behalf? Is a coffee shop "vouching" for you by letting you use its wifi? Is your ISP?

And if you're a cop, why would you dispatch a SWAT team to a Tor exit node at all? You can see if the IP is on the list and if so you'll have a hell of a time proving that the traffic came from the person running it even if they did (after all, why would they even use their own IP address when you could have used Tor?). At that point, you're basically punishing a random, innocent person for the (legal) act of running an exit node.
No. I don't think you get the problem. If I'm spending $10 or so on all these media and entertainment folks, the first day of the month might be bad, but the 20th or day after the 3rd Wednesday might be just fine. A lot of people living on fixed incomes or paycheck to paycheck manage their money closely. Given how banks work, a $1 charge at the wrong time is seriously problematic.

I realize SV never has to worry, but how about making it easier for janitor who cleans your building or the person making your coffee to participate in the digital economy?
This. You are basing the bedrock of your democracy/country on an illusion.

I have had countless discussions with my colleagues and not one of them understands the gravity of closed EVM machines instead believe in security by obscurity. It makes me sad that if the very people who work in technology are like ostriches with their heads buried in sand, how can you expect the lay person to understand the argument for implementing a verifiable system. Its an anathema.

Anyone who argues for this is either a case of sour grapes or anti-government/anti-democracy.

Also can anyone please clarify how one one can go about taking part in this process, wasn't clear to me from the article.

Possible, but unlikely. Isaiah was somewhere around the 7th-8th centuries BCE; Zoroaster somewhere between the 7th-15th.

Although if it's the origins of monotheism that you're looking for, then Akhenaten certainly pre-dates Isiah, probably pre-dates Zoroaster, and is far more evidenced than either:
