Hi, this is Eric Barton, the author of this piece. Thanks for all your comments and thoughts about this. So many of you are right that working from home depends, on the person, on the company, on the culture.

In fact, I'm a great example of this. I tried to work from home in my mid 20s, and it just didn't work. I was too distracted by repairs to the old home we were rehabbing, to the dog, to video games. Fast forward a few years later, and my editor let me work remotely. That time, I had a nice office setup separate from the rest of the house, and I found it far more productive for a lot of the reasons commenters have suggested. Now, I've worked for home for more than a decade, and as long as the conditions are right (no inlaws visiting, the dog isn't sick, home repairs aren't calling my name), it's absolutely lovely.

Now, I also rent a co-working desk and go in to the office a couple times a week. It's a way to get the things you miss at home -- coworkers to talk to, especially -- while also having the freedom to stay home when you want.

Anyway, thanks again for the feedback, and stay tuned for a follow-up soon.

Tim Parks book 'teach us to sit still' is what got me to start a regular meditation practise but only because I enjoyed how hard headed he was and unwilling to accept the obvious positive effect it had on him. This post feels a little bit similar where the other guy is just schooling him and his objections are feeble.

Which got me to think, is this the modern equivalence of this [1]?

Yeah i am considering at some point to try and see what would take to add support for the compatibility profile. I do not see a reason to not have it considering that the functionality is mostly there (and AFAIK there is even an environment variable that sort-of allows the creation of compatibility profiles, it just doesn't fully work). If nothing else, not having it makes the Mesa implementation inferior to the proprietary ones.

> How often did you travel to rural parts of Mali? Is it as safe as Bamako?

No, it's not as safe. Certainly not for a white guy. I didn't go North, but a few friends did around the time I was there and had no problems. Regular ordinary people on the streets are very friendly, but there are bad dudes around up there for sure.

Though my point is they were depicting Mali (and Bamako) as a hell on earth, and it's nothing, nothing like the show portrays. I drove through many military stops in the country, and they are basically the opposite of what the show portrayed.

I started a prayer group for people dissatisfied with mainstream religion and hosted it in my conference room on weekends. The response was overwhelming.

Although it was a group effort, I ended up doing every job at one point or another: scheduling activities, speaking and writing, leading services, teaching classes, preparing meals, doing the website and communications, printing all the materials, arranging the furniture, even playing the piano.

It was just like running a business with all its ups and downs, with profits paid to the heart, not the wallet. There were no "metrics" to this endeavor so I really don't know how others' lives were affected, but I imagine and hope that they're still paying if forward.

Biggest surprise: how much I grew by giving. My people skills got so much better that they (almost) caught up to my tech skills. Now I feel like I can handle just about business situation.

Yeah, murder of the week television is pretty pernicious.

Over here in reality, the 2500 member United States Naval Criminal Investigative Service investigates 30-50 homicides a year (over their entire jurisdiction), most of which will be the sort of stupid crimes that typify murder, not the fascinating puzzles shown each week on the TV.

At least CSI, which started the modern explosion of such shows, was set in Clark County Nevada where murder is almost a daily thing.
I started off in Canada as a Cub leader. I was very hesitant because I didn't see myself as "good" with kids that were not my own.

the actions of police officers are not rational. many cops are willing to arrest people they don't like just to give them a hard time, even when they know the charges won't stick. cops NEVER get punished for this kind of thing. some cops just like making a hippy spend a night in jail because of the discomfort and inconvenience it causes to the detained person. don't be surprised when a job that grants authoritarian privileges attracts authoritarians with a sadistic streak.

That seems beautiful, but why are all blog CMSes out there written in PHP?
It started by looking at http://datashine.org.uk and the sister commute site http://commute.datashine.org.uk/

From which I derived this spreadsheet (ongoing) :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zSLXKO0zRBHeHcunKv5B...

I then downloaded WU03EW MSOA data into this fusion table:
https://fusiontables.google.com/DataSource?docid=1sNyIr6EGEE...

From which I've extracted values I am interested in.

However I find it painful to work with.

I now have a city to msoa lookup as well as the population centroids from the datashine commute site (thanks to them for providing them to me)

I am now looking at commuters within a city, those coming from the outside, as well as those travelling across the city.

In particular I'm seeing modal split analysis which indicates 100%+ levels of cycling than being used by the council for transport policy. This may be down to the fact Bath and North East Somerset is a mixed urban/rural county.

I need to find MSOA population densities per km2 (have a source please link!) to be able to determine if there is a correlation between low density and car use. (I suspect it is true given our poor public transport.)

I've now downloaded all the data into a Postgres db to allow me to play with it better and want to paint a national picture.

Once I have this done at MSOA level I want to look at doing this at LSOA level as the accuracy is that much better.
I've always thought the Overview Effect is a cognitive error, but it has this cloud of piety surrounding it "because astronauts".

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about Redux if you'd like. The Reactiflux chat channels on Discord are a great place to hang out, ask questions, and learn. The invite link is at https://www.reactiflux.com . Feel free to drop by and ping me.

Also, I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials and articles on React, Redux, and related topics, at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links . Specifically intended to be a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem, as well as a solid source of good info on more advanced topics. It includes links for learning core Javascript (ES5), modern Javascript (ES6+), React, and much more. I also published an "Intro to React (and Redux)" presentation at http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/02/presentation-react-... , which is a good overview of the basic concepts for both React and Redux.

The "US propaganda" that I see and hear regarding PRK is almost always regarding the cult of personality of the Supreme Leader. I don't think I've ever seen anything that would lead me to believe that its people are simple-minded.

The thing that puzzles me is, as in any dictatorship -- why does the military enforce the unjust rule? Is it that they don't see the plight of their people, they don't care, or they're enriched by the status quo and can't imagine disrupting it? Or something else entirely?

And why do the Chinese continue to support this state? Is it because of a belief in the ideology? Or a perpetual bargaining chip with the US?
Not sure if you know, but "ownership" isn't a word or concept that Amazon invented. I'd like to add that Amazon isn't the first company to have leadership principles. From my experience, the only people that actually believe this crap are people that haven't been exposed to this sort of corporate propaganda in the past. Taking responsibility for a project, seeing it to completion, and following a standard is the right thing to do; not just an Amazonian thing to do.
I interviewed at Google with a no-hire. I asked for 3 weeks to brush up on algorithms and data structures. I should have asked for 3-6 months.

This is where it falls apart for me, though. Based on my experience, you really do need to be extremely sharp on data structures and algorithms, and you need to be able to do it at the whiteboard.

I have my own opinion on this, like everyone. Personally, I'm completely ok with requiring a data structures and algorithms "entrance exam" for many software development positions. I see it as similar to the vector calculus and linear algebra exam required of actuaries.

My problem is with the implementation. Actuaries take a well vetted exam, with a clear study path, and when they pass it, they get a lasting credential respected in their industry. In short, taking and passing this exam means they don't have to submit to potentially random and capricious (and unpredictable) exam based interviews (really, after 6 hours at the whiteboard doing programming problems why do we call this an interview? It's an exam, pure and simple).

Here's the thing - I'd do this for a lasting credential. I'd accept that this is a test I have to take, and properly study for. I'd take my 6 months, and I'd put in the time. What I'm not willing to do is take this test over and over and over, every time I interview at a new company. I just don't walk around with this stuff loaded into short term memory. I don't walk around ready to take my undergraduate data structures and algorithms test. And I think I've taken it for the last time.

Same for vector calc and linear algebra. I did well in these classes in college, and if I were interested in being an actuary, I'd study up and get back to that level I was at just before I took my exams in college. But no, I'm not interested in allowing a random person at a company to put me through the exams again.

This is why I'm pretty much done with technical interviewing and tests. I'll find some other way to participate in this field, or leave it altogether if that turns out not to be possible.

I do wish tech leaders, who so constantly bray about a shortage in our field, would recognize the extent to which their behavior and practices drive talented people out of programming and into other fields. They didn't stumble upon this shortage, they created it. And every crutch we give them just allows them to continue with business as usual.
Here we go, apples-to-apples comparison of the attention paid, in Great Britain, to the rapes of Jimmy Savile, vs. those in Rotherham: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=GB&q=jimmy%20sa...

The disparity is even bigger when looking at the global attention: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=jimmy%20savile,%2...

If you check the dates, the interest in Savile corresponds not to his death, but to the release of the sexual abuse documentary about him.

But I'm sure the motivated reader can find some reason why Google trends is wrong and the media is unbiased - after all, they did report on it, they just maybe neglected to promote it as much as when the rapist was a white male.

I don't doubt that it is unique for being active at such low levels. But the issue I was mentioning is ensuring that it is indeed real LSD and not some similar drug.

Currently there are variations of LSD that are becoming popular because of their legal stance. LSD is illegal but variations of it may not be - thus in some cases may be being passed off as LSD.

Even when there was lots of LSD around there was always the weird variations that just weren't very clean.

Often "family acid" was rated as the best. But the problem is every Tom, Dick, and Harry would swing their crappy acid as "family acid".

Most often you could determine good acid by the artwork on the print. Such as Alex Gray Jesus blotter, Alice and the Looking Glass, Flying Pyramids, etc.

So my point is - I just hope that what we're hearing as LSD is in fact good clean LSD.

It's not precisely analogous, but I am somewhat reminded of the Ern Malley affair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ern_Malley

> In the decades that followed, the hoax proved to be a significant setback for modernist poetry in Australia. Since the 1970s, however, the Ern Malley poems, though known to be a hoax, became celebrated as a successful example of surrealist poetry in their own right, lauded by poets and critics such as John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch and Robert Hughes. The poems of Ern Malley are now more widely read than those of his creators, and the affair has inspired works by major Australian writers and artists, such as Peter Carey and Sidney Nolan. American poet and anthologist David Lehman called Ern Malley "the greatest literary hoax of the twentieth century".
It's definitely not for everyone, but it would be nice for people to make that decision based on accurate information.

There is unfortunately a lot of FUD that has been spread around React in general, the React ecosystem, and the upcoming React Fiber rewrite. It's a combination of longstanding complaints like "HTML in my JS? EWW!", concerns about build tools like Babel and Webpack, badly written articles and headlines like the recent TechCrunch post that claimed "React Fiber is a complete change that Facebook has never talked about", and of course lots of arguments in comment sections.

If someone has taken time to evaluate React and determined that it's not for them, that's totally fine. But, when poor articles get upvoted and spread widely, it doesn't help anyone.
