> Battery life has been much better

I'm guessing this is a gut feeling as opposed to any empirical data? Either way I'm curious as to why this would be the case. Unless I misunderstand the kernel is identical between LineageOS & whatever stock OS was on the device. And it's the kernel that presumably impacts most on battery consumption.

I installed LineageOS on an old Nexus 5. The stock OS on the Nexus is already pretty clean so I can't say I noticed a massive difference (although I didn't spend much time on it)
Signature Spoofing isn't enabled by-default and can be toggled on a per-app basis. A rogue app installed isn't going to have the ability to spoof another app unless you manually give it the permission.
On the flip side, if there is an event that incapacitates one person it might not affect all 3 so you still have some control during and right after the event instead of waiting for someone to make their way to the control station

The scientific method means making a prediction based on a theory and seeing if it matches the observed results.

So honest question - have any predictions from climate science about the change in global temperatures come true? Have what climate scientists said ten years was going to happen in ten years actually happened? Global climate dynamics are very complicated and it's very hard to understand, but real science makes testable predictions and then theories are accepted as 'our best theory at the moment' when the observations match predictions within a small tolerance and the theory is thrown out when it doesn't, regardless of how hard or complicated it is.

I commute 60 minutes each way (give or take depending on traffic). I wish the commute was shorter but I personally wouldn't work from home regularly even though I technically could.

Between a chatty wife, active kids, and unfinished projects around the house, I don't have the willpower or ability to avoid distractions at home. I'm more productive going into work even if you factor in the time spent driving.

Plus, my drive gives me some down time to listen to audiobooks or podcasts. I do look forward to self-driving cars though (adaptive cruise control helps a lot in the meantime...)
Just to provide some context for the "very important security feature" that is disabled. The change adds a permission that allows (after explicit whitelisting by the user) an app to impersonate another app.

Specifically, it allows microG apps (which are open-source and auditable) to impersonate Google Play Services apps (which are closed-source and not auditable) and thus provide their functionality.
Sounds like they do this: https://lineage.microg.org/#faq7

> Moreover, to further strengthen the security of our ROM, we modified the signature spoofing permission so that only system privileged apps can obtain it, and no security threat is posed to our users.
Conversations around whiteboards between stakeholders creates value. Pair programming makes for lower defects and more reliable scheduling. Software is a design delivery operation.

It's the employer's call, and short term there are no obvious downsides there as all the effects are longer term (burnout, depression, quitting) and business is mostly blind to anything beyond 4 quarters. The 'productivity' thing is intangible as long as the business doesn't switch to a performance based model as opposed to a sociopolitical hierarchy. And their lies the rub, because a performance based system doesn't mesh very well with middle-management, which is the 'backbone' of our archetypal company model.

"The difficulty is that people used to agree (and at varying times, sue each other) over which metaphors to use"

I think you hit the nail on the head. A UI common library should not provide metaphors but direct access to the renderdable elements, their layout routines, etc. A proper UI library would resemble a modern 3D game engine more by its interface.

The level where UI metaphors step in would be built on top of this basic substrate.

There are oh-so-many projects out there trying to use this pattern but for some reason they've not reached popularity.

I'm also in the same boat as SmellyGeekBoy, and can attest the same. With the Oneplus rom I saw maybe 1.5 days of battery, with Lineage I often see 2-3 days.

This is completely anecdotal however, and it's likely that the reduced battery is down to having installed different/fewer apps on Lineage.
I don't speak for anyone but myself, but I wouldn't give up the extra time that I get to spend with my young kids for all the productivity boosts in the world. No commute and being home for lunch is time that would be stolen by any company that doesn't allow remote work.

I actually tested this a little on a Nexus 5X a while back. With a clean install of a LineageOS build manually patched to include microG (before I knew about this fork), I unplugged it from the charger at 100% and left it for 8 hours without using it, at which point the battery read 98%. The same device with a clean install of stock Android from Google read 87% after 8 hours of standby after a full charge. In both cases it had good LTE signal and had no modifications from a clean install other than signing into a Google account.
How to Effectively Measure UX with Google HEART Framework
The way it works is, in the USA they tell them they earn this much, in jurisdiction B they tell them they earn that much. Jurisdiction B says "Oh well the majority, Y% of your value is created in the USA so we won't tax you on Y%". So jurisdiction B forgoes that Y% tax, and then the USA doesn't tax it either, and that then goes onto the bottom line!

Now, you could say, that's Jurisdiction B's business, but it doesn't undermine the fact that they save a huge amount of tax off their profits courtesy of Jurisdiction B, and this has a highly significant effect on their earnings.

What gets really interesting is if Jurisdiction B is part of a larger "Bloc E". They can effectively do business in Bloc E at a highly discounted rate relative to competitors, and even native businesses, and other members of Bloc E start to complain.

Who loses out here? Everybody but the tax efficient "Company A" and a bunch of insiders in Jurisdiction B.

Yes, that is exactly the same thing.
It does not turn off signature checking. It allows selective, whitelisted system apps to impersonate other apps after a permission is granted by the user.

Specifically, it allows the open-source, auditable microG apps to impersonate the closed-source, unauditable Google Play Services apps.

While this is cool, I feel that this will always be a second class citizen at whims of Google, who can break or change their APIs any time. What would it take to provide a proper API replacement that apps can target instead of google play services ? i.e., not spoofing but providing a legit alternative. If I have a spare server for instance, can I set up a GCM like server that can relay messages instead of them going through Google ?
Why do we still commute? Because outside of the tech bubble, most jobs still require face to face communication and living close-by to the office in many cities is cost-prohibitive to many.

When countries packed with people grow resource scarce then the richer nations either share their resources, commit genocide by starvation, or go to war to keep the resources they have.

> to stay as long as they can in the office because their home life is hell.

This is pathetic. They have hell at home and instead of fixing it, they bring it to the office. My home life is awesome and I'd rather spend more time at home than in office full of miserable people. Sadly they are the loudest one and their moans are music to the ears of managers who are control freaks. Thankfully I decided never again work for a company that doesn't allow remote.
For many of us, the preference isn't down to liking the commute itself but because we choose to work in a different town to where we live. In my case I like living in a rural village even if it means a 1.5 hour commute into London each morning. It's still worth it for the tranquility I get on evenings and weekends. Plus the commute still works out significantly cheaper than buying a comparable place closer to the city.

So while I don't like the commute, I do still prefer it to living closer to London.
I guess this is one of the more interesting examples to look at:

select * from inventory_item i where (i.cogs_account).control_code = '5500';

You're only referencing 1 table in the query (inventory_item), but then i.cogs_account runs a query on a related table.

It doesn't seem like a great idea to me. You can't really tell what's happening and there's a huge performance impact in doing it. The query planner is going to be a bit limited in what it can do.

The example following where you have a save procedure against a column is a bit baffling.

SELECT (i.save).*
FROM (SELECT (row(null, 3, 1, 2, 'TEST124',
'Inventory testing item 2', 1, 2,
true)::inventory_item).save) i;

Nor would I expect them to; there are libraries to simplify that. I was pointing out the existence of a cross-platform UI protocol; X11's plight and your immediate visceral rejection provide additional insight into how well an idea like this works out in practice.

If as an author and "provider of opinions" you can't convince commercial actors in your niche to funnel value to you, I'd argue you shouldn't be writing non-fiction commercialy.

The idea that the default address should be an ordered number on a street is recent — still within living memory (e.g. my grandmother in Australia refused to go along with it when it was introduced and “required” there and continued to provide the name of her house, despite what the post office said – – and her letters still arrived).

It’s actually rather sad to me that the roads have become the default and the space between the road is the “other“. Roads and paths used cut through the former default which was land. In fact the roads had the names because they were the rarest thing. But of course, starting with cities, our mental maps must have started to flip.

If you spend a lot of time backpacking or hiking you start to get back the idea that the path cuts through the land rather than the land being what lies between he roads.

This is another area where I believe self driving cars will be a win: the very idea of roads may become less significant.
