That's what the cadaver is for in med school. Haptic feedback developers would have to rip open hundreds of human bodies at various places and measure the force and texture to get anything vaguely accurate.

Not to mention that this would avoid all the rawness of surgery; the distinct smell of blood and shit, the warm pulsing body of the patient, oddly presented internals and what they mean, knowledge that nicking an artery could end a patients life in minutes.

Maybe the better angle is figuring out how to get more cadavers in the hands of med students or docs for practice.

I know you referenced that article to prove you point but it ultimately does just as good of job as saying the opposite.

One example:

this would be possible. you can create incognito tabs via right click. each of these has a separate ephemeral profile, so separate sessions and cookies. you could then modify the user agent and navigator platform for each of those different browser contacts. however they still all go over the same IP.

not sure how to make different IP per tab, but perhaps proxy settings are scoped to the browser context, so it might be possible, haven't read the devtools protocol deeply about that.

Personally I have used Cirq[1] and Qiskit[2] to implement some classic algorithms like Deutsch-Jozsa[3] and Shor's[4] algorithm and I would say the two frameworks are very similar to use for those implementations.

So, it would be interesting to get some insights/opinions from someone who has used multiple frameworks. Is there any clear win/loss of those frameworks?

If we could go back in time to Unicode's beginning and start over but with all that we know today... Unicode would still look a lot like what it looks like today, except that:

- UTF-8 would have been specified first
- we'd not have had UCS-2, nor UTF-16
- we'd have more than 21 bits of codespace
- CJK unification would not have been attempted
- we might or might not have pre-composed codepoints[0]
- a few character-specific mistakes would have gone unmade

which is to say, again, that Unicode would mostly come out the same as it is today.

Everything to do with normalization, graphemes, and all the things that make Unicode complex and painful would still have to be there because they are necessary and not mistakes. Unicode's complexity derives from the complexity of human scripts.

[0] Going back further to create Unicode before there was a crushing need for it would be impossible -- try convincing computer scientists in the 60s to use Unicode... Or IBM in the 30s. For this reason, pre-composed codepoints would still have proven to be very useful, so we'd probably still have them if we started over, and we'd still end up with NFC/NFKC being closed to new additions, which would leave NFD as the better NF just as it is today.

I agree that all of the versions the author listed are no good; they do sound just as condescending or maybe even worse than the original.

For myself, in a similar scenario, I tend to say "Can we just...?" Granted it's not enormously better, but I feel like using "we" (as a rule of thumb in any work conversation too, not just in this scenario) always lightens it up and makes it more like we're on the same team (which we are) instead of me vs you. (And if you want to be even more neutral, omit the "just", and say "Can we use sshd?")

Digging a little deeper though, the issue of whether someone takes you more lightly or more aggressively comes down to how they perceive you as a person (your personality) and what they already know about you. If you come across as a friendly and funny person every day (through lots of other things you can do), when you say "Can we just...?" it becomes easier to understand you as well-meaning and saying in a tongue-in-cheek way "I'm an idiot, here's a simple straightforward suggestion, probably won't work?" instead of "You are an idiot, here's a simple straightforward suggestion, why didn't you think of it".
Avoid "why." Instead ask about "how" and you'll get lots of "why" for free.

"I'm trying to visualize doing this without using sshd and am drawing a blank. It's probably something really basic I'm missing; would you mind telling me how you did it?"

Key here is to be genuinely interested. If all you want is to slap the other developer around they will know.
This, but present tense, is my favorite. “What happens when you try x?” If they haven’t tried it, they can say, “hmm, I don’t know. Let’s see.” If they have, they can say, “it errors out” or “it sorta works but...” or whatever. In my experience it comes across as curiosity rather than judgement.
This is a really important aspect. It's not necessarily the critique by itself.

It's about one being confronted with the possibility that some other unforseen solution could have saved days, weeks, or months of work (or even perhaps longer!) and the foolishness or incompetence that one might feel at not having realized this.

If there is a meaningful chance the alternative solution would have been better, and a significant amount of effort invested into the harder approach, it can be a very tough pill to swallow. The ego might reflexively jump in to defend the path that was taken. It may be difficult to have a productive conversation.

>Any company that openly advertises remote work as a benefit is going to discount your salary.

>Push back on these salary discounts and double down on the value you provide.

Companies have been outsourcing development labour across the world for quite some time now, specifically to reduce costs and amplify margins, but I haven't see many taking issue with it until it's now affecting Westerners?

If we accept that Bay Area salaries are provided in part because of Bay Area costs of living, why wouldn't it be discounted for those who aren't affected by costs of living pressure to the same extent?

If we accept that Bay Area salaries are also provided in part because of demand exceeding supply, why wouldn't the price drop when supply is increased significantly?

I understand the recent demand for remote work - offices are really becoming a toil to be in 40+ hours a week, commutes are worsening, the modern trend to discuss politics at work is ostracizing people, etc. That said, those demanding more remote availability should be aware that in doing so, in making companies more remote-friendly or remote-first, they are opening up the talent pool significantly more widely, and will be competing with people with lower costs of living who will happily accept less money for the same output.

Iterating on and improving remote collaboration processes, tools, asynchronous work, performance measurement, management and more will lead to remote being favoured as a means to reducing costs. It's simply good business. Why would a Bay Area company pay someone on the East Coast a Bay Area salary, when they could pay an excellent Polish dev dramatically less for the same work?

I'm all for remote personally. I adore the idea of being free to not live in a metropolis, to work on somewhat my own schedule, have more time for my friends and family, etc. but I'm not going to delude myself that a dramatic increase in work that offers this will not be met with downward pressure on financial remuneration for that work.

Whether that's a trade-off one is personally happy to make is up to the individual. Or, if one wants to "have ones cake and eat it too", to to speak, they could attempt to unionize across the new geographically displaced market - counties, states, countries, etc. - for collective bargaining to protect said salaries. All the best to whoever attempts that endeavour.

It's tempting to imagine expertise as something that should be equitable, but it's hard to beat the foundational knowledge of someone who had four years of biology coursework, four years of medical course work, for years of residency, then however many years still in the field, still thinking about the same problems and how to solve them, vs. someone who spent 2 hours searching google or struggling through pubmed articles and are looking to best the person providing them care.

Galileo was a university trained physicist and astronomer with over 30 years in the field, he wasn't a layman at all. In fact, a little more on Galileo.

He wasn't condemned for 'daring do dissent,' his theories had merit and supporters. Galileo just critiqued people's theories so throughly and aggressively in his letters that he pissed a lot of people off in academic italy by just dismantling their work. Eventually one prick got the inquisition on the case, the pope asked galileo to write a detailed book to set the record straight with his theories, and while galileo did that he did it by making the pope a character in his book, portrayed as complete idiot, circulated the book all over catholic Europe, and shit naturally hit the fan. Apples and oranges.

>but for programmers

I think that depends on what level of the stack you work at. I'm a programmer, but strictly at an end-user-facing level. I'm not implementing Unicode support, I'm using programming languages that already have Unicode support. And Unicode support is an absolute godsend. It's amazing to not have to think about any of that, and just treat it as a solved problem.
Interesting! As I was completely unfamiliar with China's constitution, I pulled up the Wikipedia article and the source document. Supporting your point, here is a particularly surprising (to me) article:

> Article 35. Citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration. [0]

Also, from the introduction section of the Wikipedia article:

> Though technically the "supreme legal authority" and "fundamental law of the state", the ruling Chinese Communist Party has a documented history of violating many of the constitution's provisions and censoring calls for greater adherence to it. Furthermore, claims of violations of constitutional rights cannot be used in Chinese courts, and the National People's Congress Constitution and Law Committee, the legislative committee responsible for constitutional review, has never ruled a law or regulation unconstitutional.

You're demonstrably wrong.

Most complexity in Unicode derives from:

- real complexity in human scripts
- politics

neither of which is something that Unicode could have avoided. Complexity in human scripts necessarily leads to complexity in Unicode. Not having Unicode at all would be much worse than Unicode could possibly seem to you -- you'd have to know the codeset/encoding of every string/file/whatever, and never lose track. Not having politics affect Unicode is a pipe dream, and politics has unavoidably led to some duplication.

Confusability is NOT a problem created by Unicode, but by humans. Even just within the Latin character set there are confusables (like 1 and l, which often look the same, so much so that early typewriters exploited such similarities to reduce part count).

Nor were things like normalization avoidable, since even before Unicode we had combining codepoints: ASCII was actually a multibyte Latin character set, where, for example, &aacute; could be written as a<BS>' (or '<BS>a), where <BS> is backspace. Many such compositions survive today -- for example, X11 Compose key sequences are based on those ASCII compositions (sadly, many Windows compositions aren't). The moment you have combining marks, you have an equivalence (normalization) problem.

Emojis did add a bunch of complexity, but... emojis are essentially a new script that was created by developers in Japan. Eventually the Unicode Consortium was bound to have to standardize emojis for technical and political reasons.

Of course, some mistakes were made: UCS-2/BMP, UTF-16, CJK unification, and others. But the lion's share of Unicode's complexity is not due to those mistakes, but to more natural reasons.

I would typically phrase it this way, especially if "this" is something which sounds like it'll be a lot more work than "sshd".

This is probably going to get you an answer closer to what you wanted to know anyway. ie. you have already ceded that it's likely that "sshd" is too simple of a solution, and now you want to know how this new solution (which you don't know much about) is going to be better.

u/kazinator is decidedly wrong (see above), but besides not trying CJK unification, I wish we had had UTF-8 from day 0, no UCS-2, no UTF-16, no BMP, no codespace limit as low as 21 bits. That's mostly it. If we could have stood not having precompositions, I'd rather not have had those either, but that would have required a rather large leap in functionality in input modes in the late 80s or early 90s, which would not have been feasible.
