Our experience as well. I was in the room as well the whole time and it was ridiculous how often somebody came in to do something.

With exception of one nurse, every single person pushed back against us asking for fewer interruptions and said it was for the baby and mom. One nurse basically acted like my spouse was acting entitled for wanting to sleep. I wanted to swear at that nurse and throw her out of the room.

One of the night nurses realized my spouse was about to collapse and found a way to let her sleep for 3 hours.
>Can you quote some passages that you felt were preachy? I read your comment and then read the article expecting to find the worst. But it seemed pretty even handed and didn't at all suggest people go back to being working class scum.

If you are working class, such things are more felt and nuanced at, than explicitly said (at least not in polite upper class company). Not that dissimilar with racism.

(Except of course if you're very poor -- then everybody has the free pass to call you "white trash" and mock you, in a way that they wouldn't dare mock any other group).
> Some pretty good computer science got done before devops was gifted to the world.

I'm happy to talk about this if you want. One of the most important aspects of this work was that people like Dijkstra started using notions that approached what real computers could read while remaining human-readable. This is some measure of classical "reproducibility". And work like McCarthy's was revolutionary in part because it was a definition of reproducibility as a result!

I can give examples of shockingly good papers that are struggling to see the light of day in their industry because they're written in ways that make them hard not only to understand, but to reproduce.

So don't presume to lecture me about this. Part of the reason the word2vec paper stands out is precisely because this is such a deviation from the norm to have a paper misrepresent its most fundamental component: the algorithm.
I find spycloud a lot more useful as website tbh. They at least tell you explicitly which passwords were leaked.
Yeah, I really don't get it. I live in a tourist city and can see the areas that get overwhelmed with tourists at times. There's a lot of money in that and those dollars drive a lot of the things about the city that are pleasant as well. Not all seasons are tourist seasons, and maybe it would be more of an issue if they were.

so you silently replaced E5-2696v2 with E5-2690v2 and then took one CPU out of the machine before doing the comparison?
Could someone explain the graph used in the article where the y-axis is labeled as "cumulative" -- does this mean that each bin includes the sums from the previous bins? If so, then this will always be a non-decreasing graph. Ebola outbreaks are horrible, but it doesn't do any good to use stupid graphs like this to make it look worse than it is.
Does this have an API? I would pay a nominal amount to have this tied to my 1password DB to crosscheck all the emails I use. Since I use a different email for each site, I'd like this automated.

Also do you think this is the same value as LifeLock?

We're talking about Congo Kinshasa here, I mean, most of you here, who are not from the region have absolutely no idea about the state of that country. It's a mess.

Internet is the least of the locals worries, many of whom are on a daily survival mode because of the war, can't even read and are strongly influenced by all sort of superstitions.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. A lot of them living in remote places controlled by militias never had access to the internet at first place.
would be a lot more helpful if it clarified if it's hashed passwords or plaintext, also if they were hashed with a site-wide salt or per-user salt.

> he things I do not like should not ever be made [...]

Wait, when did they say that? They only expressed their opinion on the kind of scissors they prefer to use and that they would never use them.

I mean, yeah, it was not a great comment, but the reactions here (not only you, another commenter did the same) seem pretty off the charts for what it was.
Rationality never existed. Humans are fundamentally irrational actors, and the 'news' has always been about tribalism and fear-mongering. You are unknowingly falling victim to the age-old condition called "going-to-hell-in-a-handbasket-ism," where once you reach a certain age and level of experience with the world, you realize the world isn't how you want it to be and never will be; you become disillusioned; and you begin telling people that "this generation/the world is going to hell in a handbasket."

Every generation does this. It doesn't mean that actually, the world is a fine place. It just means that your rose-colored glasses are coming off.
No. Cryptomining represents an arbitrage opportunity such that the spot price of the instances should be adjusted. In the long run it should not be profitable.
>Ditch the standard rollaboard designs

Absolutely. They lead to a lot of the overhead space issues because they're relatively bulky and take up a lot of space even if someone has only packed for a single day trip. I get that some people have physical issues but, big a fan as I am on wheels for check-in luggage for the relatively rare occasions I need it, IMO it's mostly unnecessary for carry-on.
Glyphosate has been used for over 60 years. It works in a part of the plant that controls photosynthesis. No one is even sure how it would impact humans. Here's a podcast with some more information. They will update if better information comes in it disproves the previous assumptions.

The paper goes further though. It states: Not only is it not possible to establish a causal link between programming language and code quality based on data at hand, but even their correlation proves questionable.

I find that a surprising result! This might also call into question the theory that some languages attract better developers.
Did you read the entire article? The final paragraphs seem to suggest that on balance, the author believes that the benefits of travel by the wider population outweigh the risks of over-tourism:

"These phenomena inevitably mean more complaints from locals, and more damage and lines and selfies and bad behavior. But they also mean more cross-cultural exposure, more investment, more global connection, more democratization of travel, and perhaps more awe and wonder. Even overtourism has its upsides."

Eh, you're just repeating the same 'scare' tactics that Ehrlich did in the 1960's. He was mostly wrong then. And you're mostly wrong now.

We don't have too many people. But we are making poor choices about our farming techniques, industrial practices, and infrastructure.

10 billion people can live on this planet just fine. The solution isn't less people. The solution is better care of our planet and resources.
Ultimately if this turns out to be just "thermal drift" it's the result we all expected, but not the result we hoped for. It would've been nice to see a nice to see a revolutionary theory bending leap forward in space propulsion.
There are already ways to limit access to the webRequest API using host permissions, for which the user gives explicit consent.

Once the host can be accessed the webRequest API isn't even needed to rewrite requests and read or modify page content, all of it can be acomplished using content scripts.

There are really no meaningful security or privacy benefits in limiting the webRequest API in ways that are being proposed by the Chrome team.
Testing Objective-C is sort of pointless, they should have picked Swift.
Mozilla's repository of extensions has a better track record than Chrome Web Store, as Mozilla does reviews, plus it's now a smaller target.

They survived for years without a permissions system in place. I'm glad that's now in place though.

I always felt uncomfortable letting random extensions active in Private Mode.
Problem is you need the locals to cooperate, not just comply for a short period of time due to force.

I suspect mass use of force would work (let's just assume we had unlimited troops or something crazy).... but only for a while.

For a health situation like this you need buy in from the locals to change how they handle things longer term or it might pop up again.
That would make it subject to outcry because it could be understood as "you are not allowed", while the problem is that "there are too many of us for this lifestyle"
Why not? As a business owner why would I pay $90K more than I had to? Since my pool of candidates is basically the entire country, that means my pool of potential candidates who would happily take $140K and be able to work remotely has grown.
Yeah, I'd just like to be able to pay for the support, without having so much volume. I can't really consider sending them enough business that we'd qualify for level 2 agents if I run into regular technical issues with the services before I even get that chance.

Is it bad for image if they just have a "send a couple hundred bucks because you need to speak with someone real bad" button?
And then some tackle the logistics problems directly. There's plenty of scientific and semi-scientific literature considering the logistical issues in full; even hard sci-fi pays attention to it. Still, let's not begrudge people from getting inspired by science fiction too much; if people limited themselves to only ever considering the economic gains, the life would be much sadder.

> Meanwhile we have the far more human friendly oceans, right here on Earth, which we haven't colonized yet

Why not both?

Also, I'm not sure the difficulties are 1000x - some of the needs, especially those around closed-loop habitation, are essentially the same; simultaneously, the ocean is a PITA to explore, in a bunch of different but similarly problematic way as space. I'd buy a 10x factor. Ocean exploitation is also hindered by politics and justified fear of environmental damage. In space, there isn't much to damage.
It's in the writing. Look at the headline: "Too many people want to travel"

Funny how she didn't give a damn when it was just her group getting to travel. Now that there's the rest of us getting to do it? Oh, that's too many, go back to not traveling you people.
What a useless article that just talks about intangible social reasons to buy something used.

I would've expected some kind of cost analysis for how much compute power $500 buys you on a few years old workstation versus something new, and that you get more for your money used. Nothing.
Agreed, except for the professional footballer comment, if you can't save for retirement while making more money in a year than most people make in 10, that's on you.
I am not criticizing this project -- obviously there's a desire for software to understand natural language questions and certainly makes sense to target SQL.

However, it immediately reminds me of the main drawback of SQL: it was designed with the aim that it would be easy for non-programmers to use, at a point in history when that seemed to make sense to the designers. Hence SQL itself has a natural languagey feel, e.g. a keyword like "group by" has an embedded space despite "group" and "by" having no meaning individually. As many others have observed less superficially, SQL lacks composability. It feels less like a programming language and more like a natural language interface to a relational database. It's certainly great, and has proven the test of time, etc etc, but I agree that we can do better, e.g. the following article's discussion, if not their proposed solution.

Brave is based on Chromium, so it's vulnerable to Google's future decisions about what browsers should be able to do.
I run a Ryzen 5 2600 in a Cooler Master 130 case with the stock cooler. I run it with stock settings and frequencies (XMP enabled). I do not encounter any thermal throttling in normal usage, including long gaming sessions. That said, the 2600 is a 65W chip while the 2700X is rated at 105W. Maybe I would run into more thermal constraints if I used the 105W part, but so far the 2600 has had plenty of performance to meet my needs of a semi-portable gaming/development machine.
I haven't dug into the 1.0 API, but in the 0.7 line you specify an alternative handler signature that includes the HttpRequest object.
Every now and then I need to check luggage--mostly because I need gear for some longer active vacation. But it's definitely the exception and I run into problems of some sort on a fairly regular basis when I do. (Usually due to flight changes/cancellations because of weather, etc.

This also isn't even a first step where eventually privacy restrictions around observation will be added later. From the discussion thread[0]:

> Chrome is deprecating the blocking capabilities of the webRequest API in Manifest V3, not the entire webRequest API (though blocking will still be available to enterprise deployments). Extensions with appropriate permissions can still observe network requests using the webRequest API. The webRequest API's ability to observe requests is foundational for extensions that modify their behavior based on the patterns they observe at runtime.

It's not just that the people claiming that this will improve privacy are wrong about this specific change. Google's stance is that blocking request observation is fundamentally not acceptable, specifically because it would stop extensions from tracking and responding to user behavior.

To all the people saying, "well, it's about time extensions got locked down" -- Google is not your friend and they don't want the same things as you.

Do people actually do this?
Watch the video. This is addressed as well.

There are many variables to this: the time we get to react, the effect on democracy, the innovation fallacy, our perspective on resources availability, etc.
Yup, I hear you. I try to put my faith on the in-between folks, who say, "we can't prove in a court of law that this is harmful, but in this case there is a plausible mechanism and the risks don't seem justified. In this other case, there's no plausible mechanism for harm or the benefits outweigh the risks."

The people who show some kind of doubt are, as always, the ones to actually listen to.
> A single plane ride from NYC to LA emits about 20% of the greenhouse gases your vehicle does each YEAR.

I can't immediately tell from the source NYT cites, but is that 20% of one person's vehicle emission, or 20% of the aggregate vehicle emission of all passengers?

If it's the former, that might not be a great way to frame the problem since cross-country flights typically have hundreds of passengers.
Book Review on Kohinoor Diamond
The people at the top like to be seen and heard, feel their own impact, and they don't trust their employees to work if they can't see them.

Obviously that's a broad generalization and untrue of places that do allow remote work. And often middle management is happy with remote work, but execs limit it.

I see responses like "I'd rather have proximity to co-workers so we can easily share ideas in informal ways." I think that's the exception amongst developers. Informal ideas are just as easily shared on slack, or by email, or on Jira. In fact, I find that getting someone to write something down means you have get better ideas coming your way (and less noise).

> "but don't abolish co-location just abolish the meetings."

The issue isn't always formal meetings. It's Bob, John, and Shirley coming by your desk. It's Joe and Jane having a conversation 5 feet away from you. It's the weird guy growing strange creatures in the refrigerator with 20 pairs of shoes piled under his desk that comes to bother you every time he's stuck on something instead of working through it himself.

And the time savings! An extra hour of life per day if I don't have to commute - and I take a train a very short distance or bike it (ok, I like the biking). For some of my coworkers, they may gain two hours per day. How much happier and more productive would they be? So much more.
The article misses another important cause for the surge in travel: demography. The baby boomers are retiring, many of them with spare money for traveling.
> "Go back to being working-class scum who stays in the same place so us upper-class people can enjoy jet-setting and taking photos in exotic locations only you can dream of."

Pretty much. It's weird how journalists have the presumption that we should care about literally anything they say. Opine me, dearly appointed ones.
I never understood why so many people like going

Venice has some of the coolest and most unique urban planning in the world, it's one of the most historically significant cities in Europe, the Biennales always have fun events (many of them free) and honestly if you avoid peak tourist season and get a couple of streets away from the grand canal there aren't that many tourists around. Sure most of the restaurants and bars and basically all of the shops are tourist traps, but you can always just ignore those. Venice is definitely one of my favorite cities in Europe where you can't ski.
Actually I think you are reading way to much into it, seems to me she is neither condemning nor praising, the article conclusion does mention there is an upside to this raise in travel: "they also mean more cross-cultural exposure, more investment, more global connection, more democratization of travel, and perhaps more awe and wonder. Even overtourism has its upsides."
Yes? If you work with it every day you forget how obtuse and opaque programming can be. Most normal people barely understand basic consumer electronics.
I agree on the twitter cred point. The fact that this happened in the end, personally I think it is a good thing as it highlighted a weakness we must fix.

We trust our people high-level, low-level whatever to make important decisions everyday. thats why they are here.

The "marketing communications specialists" are getting slammed a lot here, so I will just point out that they spend most of their time rolling their eyes at my crappy grammar, spelling and ludicrous number of comma splices. I don't think our goal was to sound like anything. We just wanted to lay out our investigation and the follow on work we are undertaking.

Totally agree with your point that trust is earned and we lost many peoples in the last few days. That will take time and as you say good behavior to earn back, but that is what we are committed to doing.
Well articulated.
Split windows, plus regex pattern search of a set of files themselves selected by pattern, together well satisfy my own code abstraction needs.

Examples of the latter are Emacs' 'multi-occur', and Unix command line pipelines of the form:

locate -0 /\*descriptive_substring\*.go |
xargs -0 grep -E 'regex'
It's not for programmers; think more of Siri/Alexa translating to SQL.

(I'm with you, I hate natural language interfaces too, but there we are.)
> Renewable energy is not really a proven concept yet.

What do you mean by this?
You're falling victim to the classic fallacy that societies get more liberal with time. That simply isn't true at all, and you can see it many times in history. Here's a couple of examples:
1) Roman society vs. Medieval feudal society vs western society in the 15-1800s. The Romans had slaves, but the slaves could own money, buy their own freedom, etc., so they were really more like "indentured servants", so this already makes them more liberal and respecting of human rights than America in the early 1800s. Romans had freedom of religion: no one was burned at the stake for believing the wrong kind of religion there. You can't say the same for Medieval times.
2) Ancient Greece vs. everything until about 40 years ago: in ancient Greece and nearby areas, homosexuality was not only tolerated, but encouraged among military members to improve unit cohesion. We're only now tolerating homosexuality again, and even then, not that well.
3) America in the 1920s vs. America in the 1940s-60s. Remember "flappers", speakeasies, etc.? Society was more liberal in the 20s than later.

I can easily find examples of people in my own social circles (mainly through family contacts) where there's young people who are die-hard conservatives, MAGA fans, Christian zealots, etc., and older and elderly people who are staunch defenders of Roe v. Wade.

The things you identify as "liberal" vs. "conservative" simply do not correlate very well with age or generation at all.
> Companies these days bend over backwards to make the office experience as optimal as possible.

Sorry, but most companies nowadays use open offices, which are absolutely anathema to me.

Here's the thing: I absolutely want to work in a cube farm. I want to work in a traditional office environment with individual cubicles in a suburban office park. Unfortunately, there are very few companies like that anymore.

I like my current company. I like it a lot. We're a B2B telecom in the northern suburbs of Dallas with cubicles as far as the eye can see. I'm happy here.

But if I ever end up leaving (which isn't going to happen anytime soon, because I'm happy here), then my next job is probably going to be remote, because I seriously doubt I'll find another non-remote job that matches my criteria. Sadly, the kind of company I prefer working at is a dying breed, and I'd rather work remote than work in a trendy open office environment that caters to millennials (hell, I'm technically a millennial, but everything to do with millennial culture makes me cringe).
