Not entirely an answer but maybe helpful. I don't ever conciously unplug. What I do do though is never let my devices/notifications interrupt or mix with any other activity I do. I don't check notifications at the gym for example. My phone is set to silent/vibrate when watching TV and it's kept aside. I never look at it when talking to someone (unless that someone caught me at a moment where I'm in the middle of a conversation online). So even going to sleep, I just get into bed and go to sleep. Thus I find the need to detox or unplug intentionally doesn't ever hit me which is pretty good tbh :).

>He wanted me to go to school — to learn to be a stand-up comic.

I'm doing this! Some guys are really good at laughing and joking with management, but I am awful. One time a partner walked away from me without saying a word because he didn't like my comment about sports. I felt like that one black woman on Insecure when she shows up to a hockey game to suck up to her bosses and nobody remembers her.
> These days I talk less to my closest friends than I did to my farthest acquaintances in high school or even college. It's kinda sad but that's just how it is.

Well, at least now you have your FB to collectively like and share away your sorrows. I'm sure you feel less sad while you're on it.

> If I want to invite you to a party like that, are we not friends?

If you do not invite me to this party just because I don't use FB? What do you think yourself? Would you call yourself my friend?

I mean if you forget, ok. But if you keep forgetting, yes that is how friendships wither and die. This is a natural thing. If it feels like a painful idea to lose someone's friendship that way, watering it is really one of the easiest things to do. If instead it feels like it is a hard thing to do, then ask yourself and consider what you really fear losing? (probably something other than friendship--not necessarily bad)

You can of course use FB to connect with friends. But, like alcohol, you cannot justify lack of FB to justify not connecting with your friends.

You mean, they should just develop their IP abroad then? Microsoft has a lot of R&D centers in china already, other companies are following suit.

Also, please say that you mean American companies, you obviously don't mean companies like SAP or infosys that the American companies compete with.

Why you should not worry about Facebook suing you for using React.js
Worst Situation
===============

If you use react.js code and FB's sues you for a patent and win's. You will still not loose your right to use react.js in your code.

BSD+ license is not to shoot startup's or intellects down. It's for FB to protect their IP. I do not know what IP FB is protecting with BSD+, can anyone list it down here so people don't become miserable thinking too much about things going south.
Yeah, I'm aware of w3m but it would be nice to be able to just render HTML payloads in an Emacs buffer. About a year ago I saw a demo on Youtube of an embedded Webkit in Emacs but I'm not sure what the progress is there.

What I envision is something very close to Gmail's interface. But instead of just email the interface presents a list of items. Each item is of a particular type and each type has an associated renderer. A command box facilitates command entry and the result of each command is a list of these items. When an item is selected a view of the item is rendered. Items can also have tags associated with them such that we can filter item sets by tags. A resulting set of items can be piped to an ensuing command to produce another set of items.

Item renderers don't need to be read only either. For example I could issue a file search command that returned a set of files. By selecting one, if an editor renderer existed I could edit the result in place and issue a save command on the item.

I could take the paradigm even further. I could issue something like a project command that returned a set of projects where a project was really just a tag for an item which had metadata pointing to a directory path. After selecting one of these project items I might be presented with a rendered view of the directory's contents. From there I might be able to execute a build command on this item and the command would use the metadata associated with the item to build the project. The output would be a list of one item with the build results.

I've been thinking about this for a long time and the only apps I can think of that don't fit with this paradigm are apps that actually require a mouse or pen pad for input like photo shop or auto cad.

There are varying technologies which nibble around the edges of such a system but nothing that really implements it fully. Emacs comes close, the command line in a terminal comes close, Gmail exhibits aspects, Enso exhibited aspects but nothing exists which puts all the pieces together.

Well, to be honest I pay 40€/month for a baremetal server (i7 SkyLake, 64 GB RAM, 4TB HDD). It's a powerful machine running many services, including a few virtual machines. I consider whatever it does would qualify as low-duty. Now, I know that each month I'm paying 40€ for all this. The last time about I read about serverless was when someone directly discovered the money saving part is quite tricky: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14982220.

Depends entirely on the type you get and how you install them. If you get floor to ceiling types with appropriate glass, it provides just as much sound isolating properties as a traditional office.

And with appropriate sound dampeners (either on the ceiling, as artwork or whatever on the walls, or a non-glass side), you keep the sound within one from echoing or sounding hollow. A few setups I've seen involved using opaque glass as a side/separator between alcoves, and hanging sound dampeners disguised as artwork on those walls. Another used faux-walls made out of the same material as traditional cubicles to separate each micro-office, and that material is designed expressly for sound dampening. And works really well if it's floor to ceiling.
The traditional "bullpen" works well.

So, for people that aren't aware:

There are a couple big shops that publish papers like this every year. The sole reason they do so is so that they can tell their managers and potential professional services customers that they have "the best ASR system". It's BS.

IBM and Microsoft are among the most guilty.

If you're seriously interested in ASR state-of-the-art performance, "systems" papers like this are largely nonsense. Usually they spend most of their time tuning hyperparameters to small publicly available datasets, to the point that the model will often not generalize well to real world settings because of how aggressively they've overfit the benchmark set.
I used to think a system bus concentrator for disparate communications was the way forward but it always ends in tears. You have created an interrupt handling system in userspace with n * x permutations and specifications..this is the literal tower of babel and is very easily abused.

Honestly, what's weird is that what I'm saying is even remotely controversial.

> White guys can afford to be color blind, because racism doesn't affect them personally. She doesn't have that luxury.

This has the natural implication that vast majority of white guys are color blind as a result. This assumption can generate a lot of unfounded biases, especially by those who are taught from a young age to perceive every white male as being oblivious to racial issues in their day-to-day lives.

It takes quite a bit of ignorance to be color blind in modern culture regardless of your race. Even without certain groups pushing for awareness at every opportunity.

Outside of maybe rural areas in North America and some parts of Europe it's hard not to be confronted with a wide variety of social interactions with other cultures - but even the bubble of rural areas are being broken down by technology as we all grow up with online identities.

How one confronts other cultures is a different issue than this inherent color blindness, racism is not necessarily a result of obliviousness or total ignorance but many times a result of some harmful - but willful - ideology.

Therefore, I believe it's appropriate to react with at least some skepticism when someone immediately shoehorns peoples races into conversations. Especially when their race would not otherwise have any influence on the subject at hand. In this case it was men talking about sex workers and porn stars, which certainly isn't unique to white men.

That said you shouldn't necessarily be dismissive of race in every topic, people's race has an important influence on their realities and I take issue when people try to pretend it has zero influence. My point is merely is that this should not be limited to just referencing white males, as it's unfair to act like this is a unique phenomenon for the majority of white male. Unless of course you're okay with basing opinions upon cultural stereotypes rather than the variety and shades of grey which make up reality.

The white males she references on the jet are very much the exception to the rule in any American city. This "frat boy" or "bro" culture is a problem that needs to be dealt with, and is a common problem in the finance world, but that doesn't mean it's a standard feature one should expect from white males generally. And most certainly not a basis from which to stereotype them.

Not to mention that sexism is as (or often more) prominent in many Latin American, Arab, and African cultures than you'd find in your average white american male. But even then stereotyping them as such merely based on their race, rather than their local cultures or subcultures, is fraught with risk. Would the men in these racial groups lack of 'color blindness' then make it more or less relevant to bring it up in such a conversation? Or is it only okay as long as it's 'white males'? See the logical issues here?

If she had said "white frat boys" I would have had no issue with the inclusion of race. Context and culture matters.

This idea itself is quite ironic in a self-reflectional way, given that "being offended by something" is also just another manifestation of how physics and chemistry work.
Hopefully, more employers are waking up to this reality. I'd bet there are thousands of devs out there willing to take a pay cut for the opportunity to work at home full time, some who have confided this to me personally. It actually makes financial sense too.

Fair points. I'd say it's as clear as 'middleware'. When you are trying to get to the limits of performance (or just optimizing), then you tend to start thinking about the platform it runs on.

This is the problem with most abstractions in IT I guess - they're beautiful and clean until reality bites.

There are arbitrary, unambiguous, agreed upon standards of politeness. You don't curse people out.

This are unambiguous when you are interacting with people before you have established your own norms. It's possible for a healthy team to have a dynamic where cursing out bad code is completely acceptable, while cursing a person is not. The camaraderie built around breaking a social norm (cursing) can offset shock at violating the norm. However, that should change or be re-evaluated every time that norm is disturbed.

It's also possible to go 'too polite', to the point where criticism goes unsaid because you don't want to offend. That's just as toxic of a culture, it just leads to a much slower demise than the flame-outs you get from more visceral bad behaviors.
I just want to note the caveat here that an extremely polite boss is by no means guaranteed to be a good boss.

That is technically true, but you do NOT want clear goals though. Clear goals are for junior "code monkeys" who just do what they are told without any concern for if they are going the right thing.

If you want input into your work and the feeling that you are actually doing the right thing you need to have the context around your goals. Your physical presence in the offices lets you take part in "water cooler" and "hallway" conversations with various people.

Yes you can do some of that via email, forums, and the like. However the human factor of your presence changes the tone of the conversation. It isn't just you either, the other person(s) involved.

When you have a short, critical, task that needs to be done fast, then staying home without a phone or email is the best way to get it done fast. However for anything else communication is an important part of your job and physical presence aids that.

That isn't to say remote work cannot - it does. However there are real disadvantages to it that need to be considered.

If you are using aliases you are not using explicit imports.

I'm really confused now, do you invite your friends that are not FB users, or not?

Or do you claim that you have zero friends that are not FB users?

Do you require all your friends to be on FB? What about the ones who quit, do they just drop off your radar or something?
Well, it reflects one-dimensionalness of SV hipsterish big co. pop-culture: it is "I like it" or "I don't like it" and nothing in between or off-axis.

It is not in how it scores, but in the very fact that people who built it are normally incapable of giving a given sentiment more than one thought.
The biggest pressure against polymaths is the structure of the modern university. From department organization, mentoring, battles for funding, it is very difficult to find an encouraging environment if you don't stay within a narrow niche.

As an aside, I feel like most interesting innovation in academic computer science happened before the field was full of computer scientists. In the early days, the field was a meeting point of trained mathematicians, physicists, economists, engineers, and linguists, and innovation flourished. To some extent, I credit people exploring and communicating about similar concepts from multiple perspectives. Now, everybody in academic CS has taken the same path in life, and it makes things quite boring.

The two species are complementary; hedgehogs have the knowledge and expertise necessary to develop fine-granularity models of their domains, whereas foxes find commonalities and connections between many coarse-grained models. Foxes rely on hedgehogs to form their knowledge base; hedgehogs can use foxes' insights for new directions of research and development. Innovation (as opposed to optimization) is the result of cooperation occurring across vertical and horizontal model boundaries.
