> "I'm probably missing something - why didn't you just do X?"

I like to use basically this, combined with brlewis's suggestion to take them out of the phrasing, when I'm erring on the side of being approachable. So maybe "I think I'm missing something here - why not use sshd?". If it's awkward to take them entirely out of the equation, there's the royal company "we" - e.g. "why don't we use sshd?"

Some of Mark's rephrasings are rather over the top. "I'm not clever enough [...]" whoa there, that's a bit much. You're either being sarcastic, or beating yourself up way too much. "There must be a good reason why you [...]" whoa whoa, they might not, and that's fine! There might be a good reason... there might be a bad reason... there might be no reason... and all of those are fine! I ain't judging! I've probably had worse reasons! I just want to understand the problem space.

"I think I'm missing something here" admits to an extremely minor, low stakes, inconsequential "mistake" on my part - the kind that we all make frequently enough in passing as to not even really think of them as mistakes per se. I'm not admitting to some moral failure, just implicitly asking for a minor bit of assistance from my conversational partner to get over a momentary blind spot. It's not judging either of us, the problem, or the solution.

Which all hopefully helps set the tone - for if they feel like they've made a mistake because they didn't think of sshd and realize in retrospect that "they probably should've". Because, like all of us, sometimes they have overlooked the obvious... but that's perfectly OK - because, like I said, it happens to all of us.

> And honestly I think phrasing isn't that important - if you know someone for months or years and aren't usually a dick - people won't automatically assume the worst.

Also agreed.
I don't agree that the original question / statement is insulting or snarky as the author seems to feel.

_Of course_ sometimes I'm going to miss something blindingly obvious; and other times I just won't know a tool exists. You will experience this too.
Hmm, using "you/your" and asking them to explain their actions actually comes off as accusatory to me.

Compare that to "Why doesn't sshd work here?" (mentioned elsewhere in the comments), which seems more focused on education.

> The decoupling of the sexual act from the procreative act was transformative to society and I think we're just becoming aware of the consequences. Every developed nation has to import mass quantities of immigrants just to mask the problem, causing social unrest in their traditional populations

What is the problem you're referring about? Most would argue the world is over populated. Cost of homes are rising from scarcity to how many people there are. Most young people cannot afford a home to even consider having a child.
> I know I have benefitted immensely when others have dropped a pearl of wisdom straight from their fresh perspective

Others who had worked with you extensively enough to have useful suggestions? Or random strangers off the street? I'm guessing it's the former, since you say:

> I think the key thing is to establish a supportive and collaborative environment where people feel safe enough to take a suggestion

But if all this is the case, the author of this article agonizing over what to say and how to say it makes no sense. If he has already worked with these people long enough to have established a "supportive and collaborative environment", then he already knows how to make a suggestion to them that (a) might actually be of value, and (b) will be taken in the spirit it's given. But then why is he writing an article asking for suggestions on how to do this?

In other words, while I agree with you that in the specific situation you describe, making suggestions from a fresh perspective can be helpful, the situation you describe can't be the situation the article is describing.

Yeah though the counterpoint is that the monthly hot-desk pricing for WeWork's Tokyo stuff is, according to a calculation I did once, _twice_ the price of just renting an office in the same neighborhood (this was in Dogenzaka). This was a calculation based off of having 15-20 people to deal with.

So maybe it's for small groups? But if there's only 2-6 of you, you could go to the literally hundreds of coworking spaces in Tokyo for 20% of the price of a WeWork hot desk. And use the savings to pay for beer.

The only big-ish group I've heard that used WeWork in its initial growth is PayPay which.... is a joint venture between Yahoo Japan and PayTM.

It feels like they're running on some culture thing, but there's basically no math that makes WeWork a valuable choice. At their price points, it starts getting cheaper to just hire someone full time to manage your office space. And if you have that kind of money you can make the deposit.

> Drug use goes back as far as humankind does because people have been trying to cope with the stress of life since there have been people.

I do not think the second half of your statement is true. Certainly there was drug use in hunter/gatherer societies but it was mostly shamanistic/ritualistic use, not 'stress relief'. The example that you give of alcohol only really came on the scene with the advent of farming, which remains a small fraction of the history of humankind.
Oh please spare me the sermon. You dont just wake up one day an addict. Its similar bullshit to "the first hit is always free". Its propaganda. As much as wide parts of American society dont want to believe it, as an addict you make a choice. Its your god damn agency. You dont just find out that the yummy candy made you an addict. Thats nothing but a nice excuse. You keep using stuff that you know you shouldnt use, because it feels good and it often beats the alternatives. The quote that stuck with me most was an Heroin addict who explained how he started using. "At that point it was either becoming an addict or becoming a corpse". When you think that your sober life sucks this hard that you perceive a noose as the likely next step for you, hard drugs look like a bloody good deal. Demonizing a drug is just much easier then accepting, that someone you know and love made that choice. Its absolutely mind boggling how many non experts and non addicts suddenly have "informed opinions" on how opioids are basically the new materialized evil. They are the same stuff it always was, you just gave people a socially acceptable way to use that stuff recreationally.

The problem starts when this social shaming of illicit drug use swaps over from American suburbs to the rest of the world. And we are, yet again, faced world wide with American fundamentalists who are going on a crusade on necessary medication that could spare millions of pain patients world wide an existence of utter torture. In case anyone isnt aware of the situation, morphine based pain medications is what the large majority of the world population is using for pain relief. All those fancy analgesic the pharma industry pushes as an alternatives are too expensive for the majority of countries out there.

The direct result of the absolutely thoughtless scapegoating, that millions of people are suffering an easily treatable existence that amounts to torture. About 20 million people that live without access to pain medication in “untreated, excruciating pain” and could be treated with cheap-ass morphine. With no patent and a production price of cents.

If this is all to abstract for you, my grandmother recently passed away. Cancer and the painful kind. I unfortunately only later found out that she wasnt given proper pain medication until she had to be moved from her home to palliative care. Because it apparently was thought to be too risky for the doctor in charge to give it to a dying women at home, since who knows who will clear up the estate afterwards?

So if you want share your opinion about opioids, please think about the consequences of your action. You having a fuck up in your family or watching too much TV doesnt make you an expert on pain treatment worldwide.

> C was supported before GCC project also but it was not of any use because it wasn't widely used.

I’m pretty sure you’ve got your history backwards. GCC was created specifically to fill the need for a free C compiler for GNU. By that time C was already popular by association with Unix.
Does anyone know of a system for managing contacts in plain text? I would love some CLI I could use to fuzzy search contacts, making it easy to grab info to my clipboard for using email clients like mutt or aerc.
I disagree; "Why didn't you just use sshd?" is a valid question and can be answered as such. Of course the answer might be "I don't know", but also there might be an answer, and maybe they do know the answer and have a good reason to don't use sshd; I don't know. That is why I ask. Then you can learn.
It (or at least the BOP part of it) is filed [1] in CA as STNA-132004682 (State National is the fronting carrier).

Filed Loss Ratio (including LAE) is 65%. Basically ISO rates and forms with exceptions...they also copied some Chubb stuff.

You can read the more interesting parts in this exhibit
https://docdro.id/R1KyTdL

Looks like the major play here is that ISO has very little pricing granularity for tech companies (they are classified as "Offices (Not Otherwise Classified)") and that Vouch will focus on more differentiated pricing (based on policyholder sales, not as much on Limits).

D&O and E&O will be interesting...will look for that later...

EDIT: So that's STNA-132007333, and there they copied Rates and Rules from Great American, and use their own forms (which I'm guessing are somewhat similar as well).

"They're afraid and prefer to avoid facts, details and truth in favor of their own indoctrinated perspective." - This quite easily could also be the definition of someone who believes in God, souls and supernatural forces. Anyway, I respect your opinion.

I just believe that individuals are born with unique intellects. Each one thinks differently. Each brain, is creative and is entitled to believe in their own ideas first. However, one thing that lies undeterred which is, our ability to question things and ideas. Question our own ideas for that matter. Questioning things makes us wiser undoubtedly.

Questioning things has brought us to all the technological & scientific advancements that we enjoy today. Unfortunately, I do feel, that believers in the God/souls/supernatural, question much less, almost never. Therefore, while the field of science, has seen multiple iterations of ideas - One scientist comes up with an idea, it's accepted and then another scientist comes up with a better idea which gets accepted. Scientists keep debunking their own ideas from time to time, thus unravelling the truth further. Whereas, this rarely seems to be the case in the field of religion.
> neither of these are exclusively owned by the US, but rather that the US owns the responsibility to maintain these services that we all use

For all practical purposes, these systems are owned by the U.S. because America maintains them. That lets the U.S. government cut it off to unfriendly users, the definition of control.
How I am avoiding Facebook. Took their ASN, scraped ripe (https://stat.ripe.net/widget/routing-history#w.resource=AS32...) and dynamically updating firewall rules to block them for my whole network.

DNS is one of those things,

False.

do note that neither of these are exclusively owned by the US,

False.

but rather that the US owns the responsibility to maintain these services that we all use.

False. The US has no responsibility, they own it.

even the dollar as reserve is a fickle thing that could change if the rest of us choose to.

And until other countries choose to, they get to deal with the consequences of their shortsighted reaches for centralization.

we could all just drop the US as our client provider and tank the american economy.

Good luck, there's plenty of software in Europe with hardcoded URLs, and there's no chance of getting operating systems in Europe, which are contributed to almost exclusively by US companies, to switch their DNS over to something that isn't ICANN-controlled.

we don't, because shit like this isn't supposed to happen, but push hard enough, and it will

The US has performed coups on foreign countries at least a dozen times. Other countries won't do a thing, as is shown by historical precedent.

you already see russia and china going this route.

Neither of those run their own DNS, they leech off of ICANN, and occasionally block things or modify records. Were ICANN to disappear, both would be in disarray.
> Eventually, It would be amazing if all the details of math rendering could make it into Unicode.

I'm not sure if I agree with you or not... Generally I'd say I do, but we're going to have a hard time "finding the line". Meaning what counts as "math"? Surely 1 + 1 is, as is ∇×𝐇, and we can start to do things like x⁰. However, what about a graph with nodes and edges (just as an example)? Is that "math"?

One things strikes me about strings of characters... you can select and copy/paste them (at least in my native alphabet of Latin) very reliably. This property is not present with Unicode in general.
> - we'd have more than 21 bits of codespace

Just in case, there is an extension to Unicode [1] if we would ever be out of code points.

Generally it's harder to effectively manage a remote team than a colocated one. Most employers, if there were the same pool of talent, available at the same price locally as remotely, would choose to to have a local team.

In order for remote to be attractive to employers, remote employees simply have to charge less than the local alternative.

Yes, ultimately you're paid for the value you provide. If you want to work from the beach in Thailand from your laptop, fine, but I'm not going to pay as much, because I have to deal with you not being available on the same schedule as me, that you have a crappy internet connection that makes video calls more difficult, that it's harder to pay you, and that it costs more to fly you to the office periodically.

I still think unicode should not have added emojis. The big guys are adding animated emojis now, and that's clearly out of scope for character sets. If they continue down that path unicode will eventually become SVG with animation. IMHO they should have stopped short of emojis.
> The decoupling of the sexual act from the procreative act

The sexual act has been 'decoupled' from the procreative act since forever. People have always had ways to avoid pregnancy (some more successful than others) and sexual acts have always entailed much more than procreation. Not just within our species; look at how bonobos use sex for purposes other than procreation.

And falling birth rates in developed countries are not because of this mythical 'decoupling' you write about. There are many reasons for people not having as many children today and those reasons have been trending for a long time before the invention of the modern birth-control pill.
