Another non-obvious, but good reason for doing this;

Often I get as far as typing out my actual question and I work out what the answer is before hitting send. Sometimes forcing yourself to layout the problem in a structured way helps you understand it and solve it - rubber ducking. If you've not hit send, you can save yourself the embarrassment of

"Hi!",
"Hello",
"... Oh - never mind, sorry to bother you!"
Not sure if i get it. So instead of home screening, locking phone, putting down the phone... you're going to use AI to solve it?
All they needed was some good shit.

Jokes aside there has been plenty of research around insulin spike and how it is dependent on the gut bacteria and food you eat.
No. Close the chat app if you don't want to be interrupted.

Don’t impose your personal communication preferences to others.

There are far to many languages, cultures and personalities to think that you know better how to chat than someone else. Be nice and take time to communicate with your colleagues.
You must be a junior with a few years of experience. Even so, you should discover that teaching will boost your knowledge a lot. Being surrounded by more experienced people may give you a short term boost, but teaching what you already know will deepen your knowledge in what you only think you know, which is way more important to improve.
I think when critics accuse YouTube of "stepping on the scale" here, they under-consider how warped that scale is already. The existing YouTube algorithm isn't neutral or fair, and is laughably easy to game. It's already biased—it's just biased towards extremes.

YouTube waded into this moral quagmire a long time ago. Being biased towards "engagement" is just as troubling as having a more human-relatable bias.

Now they're starting to take responsibility for the recommendations this algorithm spits out. I think that's a good thing.

"Big Tech" knows where we live, owns "our" data. "They" don't need attack drones, maybe?

The real point to be made, imo, is that busting up the Big Bell into the Baby Bells, and so on, did not really address the issue: regionality does not provide for "competitive markets", multiplicity of players in the field is what makes for "choice" and "competition", and keeps folks honest, we have to hope.

Therefore, anti-trust could be about enhancing entrances and exits (startups, refinancings/redirections, retirements), or changes in management, i.e., effective "regulation" could be more like "market development" or influence, rather than "being a lid on the jar", "turd in the punch bowl", mostly a tariffing and acquisitions/merger blocker or allower.

If Big Tech and Big Govt want to smooth the path into the future together, without taking individual political freedoms away from folks, that is definitely possible, given the motivation and will to make that happen. Without the motivation and will, it's not going to happen, no matter how possible it is.

There's a lot of societal level contributions that "Big Tech" has not figured out how to build and maintain, such as the appropriate freedom of speech while also providing privacy and safety online. There's simply a lot to be "regulated" or defined as a requirement of "Big Tech" by society. The Amish and their careful approach to technology bears review and some amount of emulation, as I see it. ymmv. Thanks for reading.
> The last time I switched jobs, I got a 40% pay increase. That's ridiculous. I even told the company I was underpaid and they asked if I could wait a year for a raise.

As far as I can tell, management that can see beyond the idea that your current payscale is what you should be payed is pretty rare. There's just something about anchoring on a price once it's negotiated.
If the attacker placed sensitive information on Github, that would indeed warrant a deletion of the account. However from what I saw from the archives, the attacker merely published details about Matrix.org's infrastructure and its vulnerabilities. Is that something that's against Github's ToS?
I see you're adding a fair amount of your own cultural bias, which you do recognize. You also recognize that there are other cultures where poeple value small talk. The best solution might be to be inclusive and meet in the middle:

- Hi

- Hi, how are you? How can I help?

- <here they can quickly reply how they are and ask the question>

WDYT?
My experience is that one of the reasons people will leave is feeling trapped. If they feel like they can easily leave they will stay longer. Not a lot longer, maybe six to eight months. But that’s still up to 20% longer.
Calm down there, fella. Crimea isn't the same thing as Slovakia and Czechia; they are separated by nearly 1000 miles. Crimea really was part of Russia from 1783 to 1954. Its various political associations since 1954 hardly constitute "one of the greatest evils of the 20th century".

It's not a vulnerability. It actually shows their revenue is pretty geographically diverse.

You can't trust financial news from propaganda outlets like Slate because they only care about their agenda.
First of all, they cannot force you to give them your current salary. My standard answer to such question is a slightly more polite version of "it's none of your bussiness". And if they don't want to provide a salary range, and ask you to come up with the number, then just give them your current salary +50% and see how they react. Of course you might then need to step down a little, and accept your current salary + 20-30% instead, but that's still pretty good.
I feel differently about people cutting the immigration line by paying a tax than by loaning money to a high-end development. It's not about what it cost them, it's about where the money goes.
I would never work with a design person who only knew how to click buttons to make UI's.

They're just going to make more work for the real developers who have to constantly fill in the lack of understanding about how the back-end works.

It isn't a limitation. It's a prerequisite. You wouldn't want a bus driver who's never driven a car before.

And if design systems ever evolve to the point where you can just click/drag some buttons to design a UI then that's the day the value of that profession should rightfully drop to zero. Lowering the bar that low only leads to vulnerabilities by blurring the lines between amateur and professional. Honestly the design crowd gets too much credit as it is.

Look at manual machinists. They have legitimate skills that only come with experience. They demand righteous salaries for those skills. BUT CNC machines have all but destroyed the need to employ manual machinists so instead you spend more on your machine up-front but you save forever because you can literally teach anybody with a pulse how to run it. The result is you have countless experienced and skilled machinists who are unemployable in today's market and a bunch of cheap amateurs churning out barely conforming products for $10/hour.
This works for me! Far too many IMs seem to go like this:

Them: Hey Jeff
...
Them: Can I ask you a quick question
......
Them: I am sure that you are really really busy with re:Invent
.........
Them: And I could look this up, but you have been here forever and I figured you would know
..................
Them: Where can I find X?

I am happy to help, but would prefer:

Them: Hey Jeff, hope all is well. Where can I find X?
In large organizations the person is likely "pinging" multiple people to see who is available to answer their question. This is deeply problematic because folks sitting next to each other look over, or comment on the usual suspect pinging each of them. This becomes an interruption for more than just folks on the end of the IM.
I agree. Early on, I thought Assange was a bit of a hero. He provided a forum for people to reveal things that shouldn't be happening and shouldn't be secret. I understand the need for government secrecy, spying, and surveillance. I don't accept that it's ok for governments to break their own laws to spy on their own citizens without warrants or just cause, however.

Assange wasn't simply doing this as a neutral party, however. He was playing the same underhanded games as the governments. He was actively timing the release of information and selectively revealing or withholding information to suit his own political agenda.

I'd grown disenchanted with him well before the 2016 election, but that revealed his hypocritical motivations in all their glory. He worked with the despotic Russian regime and went on a personal attack against Hillary Clinton, timing the release (and non-release) of information to intentionally disrupt the presidential election.

Assange long ago became just another of the underhanded villains he claimed to be fighting against.

5-10-15 years and more is not unheard of. In case a musicians becomes established they will just say it's the result of their support and their investments, so that's when they push for max returns (see the many stories of rushed albums which labels forced out of the artists while trying to ride the wave of initial success).

Awesome article!

Handy maximum-portability redirection cheatsheet (write, append, discard):

STDOUT (no number needed for file descriptor)

command >stdout.txt
command >>stdout.txt
command >/dev/null

STDERR (2 is required file descriptor)

command 2>stderr.txt
command 2>>stderr.txt # Append errors to file
command 2>/dev/null # Discard stderr

STDOUT + STDERR (separate destination)

command >stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt
command >>stdout.txt 2>>stderr.txt

STDOUT + STDERR (duplicate destination, order matters)

command >shared-output.txt 2>&1 #stderr follows stdout
command 2>shared-output.txt >&2 #stdout follows stderr
command >>shared-output.txt 2>&1 #append

Practical example:

npm install >npm-output.txt 2>npm-errors.txt #two destinations
npm install >/dev/null 2>&1 #all output discarded

It is sort of replacing Android, but not really. But it sort of is.

The kernel is designed to have a stable binary interface for drivers. This has been a problem with Linux-based Android devices (all of them so far), because the OEMs (or more properly the chipset vendors like Qualcomm) will only support a particular chipset for a short amount of time (maybe a couple years, it depends).

After that, it becomes hard to bring new kernels to the platform, so we all end up with phones stuck at whatever major release was out at the time, with low prospects of upgrades.

If you can make a stable binary API, and furthermore keep to the micro-kernel model, then most of the OS can be easily upgraded, because you don't need (and aren't going to get) new versions of the device drivers for the chipset.

Also, there's an effort towards better low-latency real-time support. This is critical for AR/VR applications with tight rendering deadlines.
The average french person emits 4.57 metrics tons per capita (and there is diesel cars everywhere). One could argue they live better lives than most people in the US, and it's definitely not poverty.
The only thing that matter is what they think you can get elsewhere. eg. what others are willing to pay. Think of it as an auction. Something might be worth $100 but if the highest bid is $10 you are only going to bid $15 not $100.

Do Texas, California, Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, and Guam fit in your "carefully" calibrated category? That's not even counting the American Indians who inhabited most of the rest of what became USA before Europeans got here. We held on to Philippines for a while, too.

I thought it was going to be about Britain. They have been drivning towards the abyss in the last decades. I used to live in London. The difference in public infrastructure and company facilities between the UK and Northern Europe is quite staggering. Now, add the “Ever shrinking Britain” (Scotland leaving after Brexit…, Northern Ireland more part of EU/Ireland than Britain in the future?) to the events and it makes the British Brexiteers really looking like want to cut off their nose to spite the face, except the face is the EU’s and the nose belongs to Britain.
What? Wikipedia has Mumbai at just 21k/sqkm, and even that seems to be megacity (urban) density, not its metro density, which is only 4,700/sqkm. I assume the national park is in the latter and not the former.

I think with the huge amount of legacy code out there, and Moore's law hitting a wall so emulating an x86 at the same speed of an in hardware x86 core might be an impossibility, there's space for interesting native x86 designs. I imagine we'll see a lot of interesting work in that space here in the west in a couple years when the x86_64 patents start expiring, China just has a leg up with their "we only enforce IP when it helps us" attitude.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone sticks a x86 decoder onto a RISCV core sort of like the PowerPC 615 did.
At my workplace we use Skype for Business. I often get "IM?" or "OK to IM?"

Starting the conversation that way requires me to greet them and request that they continue.

Why ask if it's OK to IM, if you're using an IM to do it? Ostensibly it's to prevent, like, notification sounds going off from my laptop if I'm in a meeting, or to avoid disrupting me while I work... but sending the "Permission to communicate?" message is already a disruption.

Also, S4B has available/away/busy/meeting/call status indicators. Why not use those if you can't decide if it's OK to IM?
I wish these cloud providers would "open source" their pricing models. I know some people were probably abusing the hell out of the matrix api but the price hike is quite insane tbh. Maybe this sounds dumb but it's for this reason that I go with Digital Ocean for my personal stuff.

For example, something like: compute time + availability + hardware + ?

At least with lambdas you can average out time through individual function blocks and scope it to hopefully know what pieces of the users code are the most intensive. Maybe lambda get us closer to this transparency model by showing us down to the functional block what is costing what.

The 2nd amendment isn't absolute though, which you can see through the different gun laws in each state.

Those are often states being naughty and infringing. Those are often backdoor attempts to circumvent the 2nd amendment.
The Eurozone was never intended to do the damage it has done to PIGS economies but it has. What is worse, is that it has unquestionably been of benefit to Germany, which has one of the strongest hands in shaping the future of the EU.

If a macroeconomist had sat down to devise a currency that suffocated Italy, Portugal, Greece and Spain - export driven economies (remember that tourism is an export as you have to buy the local currency to obtain the 'goods'), and benefited Germany (an economy with an export sector that would normally be severely impacted by a strong services sector's drive to increase the value of the currency) - they couldn't have done much better than the current Eurozone setup.

Arguably we need more currencies in the world, not fewer. Economic homogeneity across an entire nation state can only reasonably expected with small countries (and remember that the Italian Republic is a very new country cobbled together out of provinces, often with significantly different economies.)

Left to float independently, the Deutschmark would not be as low as the Euro is today and the Lira would never be as high.
Your inability to imagine better energy storage technology is your justification for declaring that civilization as we know it is doomed?

What you're talking about is exclusively chemical storage. Check out thermal and mechanical storage. Those are likely the more promising large scale solutions and both are already used in a variety of different ways at industrial scales. I'm particularly partial to the use of heated salt via solar thermal plants as an affordable and scalable solution. Several such plants are already in operation.

> I find it amusing that wanting other people to learn to read can be and often is considered insulting.

It's an insult when that person does know how to do it.

This issue wasn't related with his capacity to read either, which further enhance how it was used as an insult.

It was a misunderstanding, that's all. No one is specifically responsible for it.
> the mechanics of whether the request comes in one long message or broken up is just not that important

Yes, it is. If you put "hello" in one message, and then follow up with a question some time later, you've possibly interrupted someone twice. If you put both in the same message, you've interrupted them once.

This may not bother you if you're on the receiving end of it, and that's fine. But it does bother me, and I wish people -- especially people who are asking for a bit of my time -- would get this and do me the courtesy of being respectful of my time.

Because that's what we're talking about, right? Being respectful and socially-aware when initiating communication with someone? There is no one-size-fits-all approach to communicating with different people.
I don't necessarily disagree with you on anchoring at a high value. But moving first with your current salary is a guaranteed losing strategy.
Im wondering if something other than my face could star in an ad, like say a body part with googlie eyes stuck on it and a big smile drawn on it etc.

Hasn't stopped him, just because you don't see him on your timeline, or the mainstream platforms don't mean he's gone away or changed. Just shifted into a conformation bubble with others and with that, less likely to encounter any debate of their mentalities and ideas and as such, enforcing them in their own minds.

This in a way prevents opposing minded people challenging them in debate and sweeping problems under a carpet don't solve the problems. It just shifts it until it grows large enough that the carpet is just not big enough anymore.

However, being exposed to such opposing views can become distressing and whilst sometimes you may be in the mood to debate them, other times you are not. So IMHO putting better controls in the hands of the users, sure can default to settings suitable for children. But banning is not the way in the end. Like films, you have ratings, today we can and should have a more granular rating system akin to dating app choices and give the users the power to do there own censoring above and beyond the laws of the land.

But for many a default of not having to see the ugly sides of life and dealing with those issues, does seem to be a choice many make, albeit for various reasons.

Maybe one day we will all walk around with augmented reality goggles and filter out everything we don't like. But then, just because you can't see a problem - don't mean it's still not a problem. Which is kinda the crux of many problems in the World today.

> When America invades with the intent to steal a country, let me know.

Most of the USA outside of the founding states was stolen by invasion, including the overseas territories. (Though some of it was covered by purchases made possible by invasion, or under threat of invasion, or from people who claimed most of the covered territory despite not actuslly effectively controlling it while other people lived on it.)

You could programmatically vary the subject. Either by time/sender, or by lifting the first (or first statistically improbable) phrase from the message.
I would guess that’s because IIRC, there’s no official support for Emacs to display native windows in Cocoa, and Emacs is simply using macOS’ X11 compatibility system.

If you could fix that behavior so that Emacs behaves more like a native Cocoa application, I see no reason that the Emacs maintainers should reject a patch. Emacs has, as far as I can tell, always strived to use as much of a native system’s interface and conventions as possible. Emacs is very big, so it might seem to be a self-contained world of its own, but it’s trying not to be too idiosyncratic.

I've seen other farmers become co-founders. The domain expertise was definitely an asset, but (like anyone else) they also needed to learn additional new skills involved in running a business.

That definitely sounds like an unfair and frustrating experience, and I hope that you find folks who are more welcoming and accepting to work with in the future.
The problem isn't even the wait between the two message, sometimes they won't even ask the question until you confirm that you are there. I want to look at the question, then decide if it's something I can answer now, or if I will get back to them later. It depends on many factors such as how busy I am, how complicated the question is, and so on.

I could reply "Sort of, depends on your question", but realistically I'll just not reply if they don't ask a real question.
I'm so confused right now. I looked at the various links and cant believe I still can't figure this out. The kernel is windows or linux? How do I get or run this? I install windows and then this? Someone help me out here!
