You can't really avoid this in a company with global presence. Forget the whole "remote" thing. If your company has an office in SF and one in Tokyo, people in the two offices will have to sync sometimes. That's a fact.
Here at GitLab we're an all-remote company, and it's been that way since the beginning as I understand it. I've been here about a year now and I've heard so many great stories from people who had remote working change their life for the better.

"As a business owner why would I pay $90K more than I had to?"

For the same reason might ask why they would take less than they have to.. although it is true that the candidate pool grows, the pool of jobs we can select from is also worldwide.

I mean, I can afford to work cheaper if I want to, but I don't have to because people will pay... the principle works both ways.

Why would I take a 140K/year job just because the people around me are living in abject poverty unless I have to work locally?

Interestingly, since "recovery" is mentioned several times, I decided to test myself.

I took a copy of a jpeg image, compressed it different times with either gzip or bzip2, then with a hexeditor modified one byte.

The recovery instructions for gzip is to simply do "zcat corrupt_file.gz > corrupt_file". While for bzip2 is to use the bzip2recover command which just dumps the blocks out individually (corrupt ones and all).

Uncompressing the corrupt gzip jpeg file via zcat at all times resulted in an image file the same size as the original and could be opened with any image viewer although the colors were clearly off.

I never could recover the image compressed with bzip2. Trying to extract all the recovered blocks made by bzip2recover via bzcat would just choke on the single corrupted block. And the smallest you can make a block is 100K (vs 32K for gzip?). Obviously pulling 100K out of a jpeg will not work.

Though I'm still confused as to how the corrupted gzip file extracted to a file of the same size as the original. I guess gzip writes out the corrupted data as well instead of choking on it? I guess gzip is the winner here. Having a file with a corrupted byte is much better than having a file with 100K of data missing...

And if you do, chances are good it'll end up on GitHub.

5.3 and 5.4 really nail it, IMO.

And you can't even use bug fixes as a metric, because there's a difference between semantic bugs which will be significantly language-influenced, architectural bugs which are partly language-influenced, and user-expectation/experience bugs, which are broad-brush logical errors or misunderstandings.

(There are probably other categories, but those are the obvious ones I can think of right now.)

The real takeaway is there is as yet no objective metric for software quality.

The best a working dev shop can do is implement a small but non-trivial sample project with known-good logic in a handful of candidate languages, and see what kind of trade-offs fall out.

I’ve done multi-year stints of both, and it’s highly contextual. For ICs I get the quiet and focus is a net win (assuming proper self-motivation and no social isolation issues). However for high-level or cross-functional collaboration there is no online tool that approaches the bandwidth of two people in a room with a whiteboard. The energy in person, serendipity and the ideas that come from prolonged close collaboration (especially in a startup) is hard to quantify but it’s real. It’s not optimal for everyone all the time, but then neither is full remote.

This is just one example, In general when Apple hardware fails from any kind of defect, one of two things happens:

1. They blame the customer and suggest replacing large portions of the computer (unnecessarily) at such a high cost as to justify recommending buying a new machine.

2. In the rare cases they have been publicly pressured into admitting fault, they will replace parts with newer parts with the same defect and repeat this cycle until out of warranty or the customer just gives up.

For the cases where the user is to blame for damage, #1 is also applied, this would not be such an issue if Apple wasn't also lobbying against independent repair shops and seizing their parts under false claims of trademark violations.

They are deceitful... there is no way around it.
The problem with the glyphosate-resistant varieties is that they allow for liberal and injudicious use of the chemical. I'm sure it makes economic sense to be able to carpet spray your crop instead of having to spot spray or use careful timing, but over-spray blowing onto trees causes damage in many areas, as well as putting large quantities of glyphosate into water systems.
If organic is the best way to avoid glyphosphate it seems like a reasonable conclusion to me.

The precautionary principle lies within Integrated Farming, because it is highly adaptable.

There are harmful insecticides being used in organic farming, and the avoidance of synthetic fungicides allows for higher levels of some dangerous fungal toxins in food.

If a fungus-resistant GMO variety were available, organic farmers could then avoid the use of fungicides altogether. But GMOS are completely of of question in OF. Why? Because it is artificial, and that's the end of it.

You do realize vinegar is a plant killer right? Too much water is a plant killer, too much sun is a plant killer. There are insecticides that kill bugs that don't have an impact on humans. Starvation probably kills far more people than Roundup. I mean I hate Monsanto as a company too but literally you could die drinking too much water. If you cannot even define how something would impact humans wouldn't the appropriate way to determine that be to perform science? Just saying we don't know so it must be bad is literally the opposite of science. People used to think tomatoes were poisonous, they weren't. Tapioca was poisonous unless cooked. You routinely ingest poisonous metals in your food. Your argument has no place in a discussion about whether something is harmful. Evidence does, once we can define the harm, if any, we can determine whether we can mitigate it, whether it's a real risk factor, and whether it's risks outweigh the benefits. You must likely drive around in a vehicle that causes more cancer and harm to the environment than Roundup. Plastic bags don't decay for generations. We have literal known problems that we give less focus than a problem that isn't even proven to exist.
GitLabber here with my own remote story relative to Sid's comment:

> It saves people commuting time and gives them more flexibility to care for family, go to the gym at a convenient time, travel more, and deal with sick children.

I have 4 young children at home. When I came back to GitLab after having my fourth I noted in our Thanks channel - 'Much easier transition coming back from paternity then I’ve ever had. Being at home & being able to step away to help is so much better than commuting into an office and not being able to help at all.'
Same, for me it was them and Apollo. I can't find anything about either of them in my mail, but both claim to have notified their customers. That's very suspicious. I don't delete anything...

I have not seen a single post praising the author's unabashed ruthlessness to make money illegally through the company's efforts.

All stories have multiple perspectives that everyone can relate to, agree with, and disagree with. In this case, many more people feel a relation to the story and want to voice it. If there is a large part of the community that disagrees with the author's way of going about it, either they are not as passionate about their disagreements, or did not wish to comment on the article, but these things are not mutually exclusive.[0]

Selection bias? Consider the type of person likely to be attracted to languages like Haskell or Clojure.

>>Compensation should be based on output performance and the difficulties and complexity of the work being done.

That should be a factor for sure, but not the only factor. The price of something is not based on simply how valuable that thing is in and of itself. It is also based on the price of alternatives. This should be self-evident everywhere you look.
> "Most people want to be relatively well off and not struggle to make ends meet,"

'Relatively well off' is subjective, and for many people it means "not struggle to make ends meet", e.g. 'adequate income'.

There are certainly some paths through life in which a shy person will have difficulty making even a modest income. A shy person trying to work as a salesman would probably find life very difficult. However there are plenty of other sorts of jobs that suit shy people, and provide income that many people consider to be adequate.

Shit in your own bathroom. I second this.
The “Granny Knot”
The blood checks I brought up because this was a thing specifically criticised by my friends in the medical trade. For the vast majority of cases where they need to take blood, it just so happens to be the preferred method used for diagnosing the patient, not the only method. There are other things that can be done beyond waking the patient and sticking a needle in their arm. Often they just end up disposing it, as they don't even have the resources to test the blood of every patient every hour; but they will continue to take blood every hour. If the nurses are told to take blood, they will do it to protocol - regardless of what common sense might suggest.

The main criticism they had was that of treatment for patients with infection. It's nice for a doctor to know whether the body is fighting it off effectively or not. Many doctors will ask for blood tests every hour because it's so nice to know, and you'll get a pretty graph to tell you what's going on by the hour. You know what's better than a graph? Letting the patient fight off said infection. Best way to do that? Decent sleep. Apparently the education on sleep is abysmal in most institutions currently, purely because it's been a branch of medicine that has bloomed late, and it has resulted in doctors who often don't give sleep the respect it deserves.

Again, this is not from the horses mouth. I am only passing on the information my friends gave me as effectively and accurately as I can. I'm not trying to shit on those in the medical profession, as it's a career I envy, but it is something that is a chronic issue in most wards and many sleep specialists across the globe are trying their hardest to rectify it with significant push back.

Wow what a difference! My laptop shows about 2-3 watt idle (brightness low of course). What a huge difference in power consumption over the years. Do you think that’s mostly the hard disks using the power?
I mostly agree with you. But I do see what OP is getting at. There's a lot of accidental innovation that occurs during casual bull sessions over coffee breaks.

In a remote environment the tendency is for communication to be more formalized and structured. "Hey, are you available for a call. I just want to go cover X, Y and Z, then I'll let you get back to work." Often time half-baked ideas end up getting polished into important innovations. Without some sort of channel for informal, impromptu discussions a lot of ideas get overlooked.

If we're talking about idle power, it is mostly that the power management hasn't been tuned for power saving as much as for stable performance, and that there is more power-hungry hardware in the system. The presence of a discrete GPU rather than the typical iGPU. A chipset with more external controllers, most of which may not be properly powered down at idle. Often more than one storage device. And finally, a RAM configuration that is also more power hungry at idle due to the type and quantity of chips, and the high-performance configuration.

I have a Xeon E5-1650v3 6-core workstation in my office with 64GB of RAM, two 7200 RPM disks running constantly, two SATA SSDs, and a GeForce GTX Titan X GPU. According to UPS self-reporting, it is drawing ~80W when essentially idle. The powertop utility reports ~90% C6 idle state for the CPU cores and ~55% C6 idle state for the package.

I have an i3-8100 4-core PC at home with 16GB of RAM, two 5400 RPM disks which are set to spin down, one nvme SSD, and the iGPU. According to UPS self-reporting, it is drawing under 15W. The powertop utility reports ~97% C7 idle state for the CPU, ~99% RC6 for the iGPU, and doesn't report a package idle state.

I have an older i7-4700MQ 4-core Thinkpad with 16GB of RAM, one SATA SSD, and a discrete GeForce GT 730M GPU alongside the iGPU. It is drawing about 13W off the battery with screen active but at low brightness so I can query it locally and write this post. The powertop utility reports ~95% C7 idle state for the CPU, ~99% RC6 for the iGPU, and ~60% C2 plus ~23% C3 for the package.
>The ecological impact of a few cats is tiny compared to that of a human. If you really care about the environment, don't have children and maybe kill yourself too.

On avian populations, that simply isn't true.

"According to their calculations, outdoor cats killed somewhere in the ballpark of 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion small mammals in the U.S. per year—far exceeding any other human-influenced cause of avian death, such as pesticides or collisions with window."[1]

I agree with your concerns regarding human overpopulation though. My wife and I aren't having kids.

I don’t get why it’s always presented as cubicle farm vs fully open floor. My company uses semi-open offfices; you have an open office with 8-10 people in a team, but don’t share space with other teams. So it’s access to the people you work with directly and no more.
Yes, and it can be a double-edged sword. My home office isn't heated (long story), so if I want some cheap heat in winter I'll fire up the old server and just batch convert some video. That's a pretty efficient room heater for 300 watts of power! Conversely I never convert video in summer...
