I used to, but it drove me slowly insane. It wasn't all day every day, it was one day a week for about 4 hours in the afternoon. Everyone is in a conference room, working on laptops, munching on food, discussing things, etc. There's usually a standup round. And then there's a few remote people like me.

I didn't want to be a remote worker (which is why I relocated), and this just reinforces it. This meeting is working with a remote team in our same project but in a different location. It's really hard to communicate over teleconference with meetings/groups. The microphones either pick up some noise or side conversation, if you can hear the other person at all. And the lag can be very tiresome. Whiteboards are also liabilities.

Even just trying to listen in on the background and tune it out when I wasn't being talked with was hard.

I really would advise against it. I find slack to be more useful and less distracting.

Conversely the search in windows explorer has gotten much better on the Insider Fast/Slow track. It does what you expect and searches down the path almost as fast as Everything.

Before even in shallow paths you would type something, it would spin, you'd press enter, you'd be brought to a big empty search results page that would slowly find things.

I'm finding myself using Everything less and less.
That's become my feeling as well. I've always looked at them making a ton of money without needing to start a company and become somewhat envious (none of what I actually enjoy working on seems to be startup material). Then I see two of my friends pursue careers in law after becoming attorneys, and wow, I now think my 9-5 job for a tech giant is a better gig. They're miserable.

I've been in a similar situation. Very well liked and popular at the company, including with the founders. Often gets praised in public and is the go to person from many employees when they want advice or just to gripe. Saw somethings at the company that I thought weren't good, and most of the employees complained about to me as well. I thought I had some influence with the powers that be, and so did many of the other folks (e.g. I was encouraged to speak up because I had influence). So I did, quietly and privately at first, and a little louder as time went on. Everything I did was completely ineffective. I learned that public praise and apparent influence is very superficial, and evaporates when it comes to anything deep rooted.
I meant effeminate as weak. Apparently it has a sexist connotation, I actually did not know that it meant that until you pointed it out.

The new Mac Pro price points don't seem ridiculous compared to comparable workstations from Dell and HP, though, as as in the past, Apple's configuration options are comparatively limited.

The (wholly understandable) frustration with Mac Pro pricing seems mostly due (1) to the continuing lack of lower-cost, non-Xeon modular systems in Apple's lineup, and (2) sporadic upgrades leading to eventually overpriced systems (e.g., the 2013 Mac Pro ca. 2019).

If you are sensitive to negative feedback it’s likely you are also sensitive to positive feedback, and it comes in roughly equal amounts. I have an email file of positive feedback received over the years. When I read stuff like “Thanks for such an excellent product. I really like it in our stack.” It lifts my spirits again and again.

It’s actually a chore to get a meaningful critique from a customer they just don’t care enough and will just cancel.

Your campaign is based on a misconception: the US is not even mentioned in the study or article. If you look at the map, primarily English-speaking countries (UK, US, Australia, NZ) are not colour-coded, as the survey was focused on English proficiency in non-primarily-English-speaking countries.

As for the guidelines, they have been developed and refined over many years, and people who are committed to participating in HN in good faith have no difficulty sticking to them.

You're cherry picking. At the risk of cherry-picking myself, there were 10 formatting wants. 9 of those are reasonable and you chose the 1 that was difficult. Not only that, but "behaves like word" is probably meant to be a class of things users want rather than a single thing. It's basically saying that users want things to behave the way they're used to behaving, which is a very valid design consideration.

The language used in the list is a bit flippant, so "Undo everywhere" could seem unreasonable if you interpret that as "users generally request undo features for most actions" and not literally any conceivable thing you can think of regardless of whether or not it makes sense needs to be undone. You immediately jumped to databases, which instead offer a wide range of security and and protection mechanisms to prevent accidental deletions instead. People pay good money for regular database backups because being able to recover from a mistake or failure is important to people, on account of people constantly making mistakes. Even GMail has undo for sending emails now (it just waits half a minute before it actually send the email).

Obviously some of these are silly. "Use this color from here" is a joke (nothing you do will please everyone). "Deploy on exotic configurations/platforms" is almost a joke, but there is always someone who asks when you'll get around to porting your autocad program to the iWatch.
In some cases, universal undo really isn't possible. As an example, what if the app activates a shock collar for dog training purposes? A delay isn't acceptable, and undoing is impossible. This is a real product, there's more than one on the market.

Yang is acceleration.
He's right and it's a quite obvious observation if you realize that mass producing solar panels and mass producing batteries is something that is going to inevitably lead to economies of scale and cost reductions. Obviously, Elon Musk figured that out quite long ago; hence his prolonged investment in this type of stuff.

The arguments against this are a combination of naive and wrong. Basically lets pick apart the most common one: "the sun does not always shine". Yep, hard to deny. It gets dark sometimes. Luckily the Sun comes out every day on a schedule that we know down to the last second. Of course that leads to the follow up arguments related to "winter" and "clouds". When it is cloudy or winter, you still get some yield from solar panels. And of course it's never cloudy everywhere at the same time and definitely not for very long. Also winters alternate between southern and northern hemispheres.

So, what that means is that a modest amount of batteries can absorb peaks and dips in production and usage of solar power. Furthermore, you can compensate for local differences by inter connecting production sites with a very old school thing called a cable. If your local coal plant stops working, you simply get power from another one. You never even notice if that happens. Why would that work differently for Solar? There's no good reason why a cloudy Texas would not be able to import Solar from a sunny California; or vice versa. Likewise a wintery new york could probably import power from sunny Florida. Most of these places get plenty of sun on average throughout the year.

So, you don't need months of battery capacity. Hours/days are actually pretty good. And actually, if you own an EV and a bunch of solar panels, you technically have enough battery to cut loose from the grid already. 60kwh is a lot of battery to power a house. Tesla's powerwall batteries are a lot smaller (about 10x).

Finally, another notion to absorb is that you can over supply both batteries and panels. So, if you think your panel production is going to produce only half of what you need, just install twice the capacity. Or three times. Or four times.

It's just a matter of volume and prices. Battery prices and solar panel prices steadily improving in price/peformance over the next decades are only going to improve things. But they are already pretty good for building a really reliable and robust interconnected grid of solar and batteries. Actually building that won't happen overnight but it's obviously feasible from a technical and economical point of view.

Nuclear doesn't even come close to being price competitive with any of this now (and certainly not when prices continue to drop) and all of the above is likely to happen at scale in the time it will take to even agree to start planning to build a fraction of the nuclear capacity that is actually needed to achieve the same goal (which is not happening at all right now). It takes decades from planning to flipping the on switch with current nuclear plants and only a handful are actually in the enormously slow process of being planned at all right now.

It depends heavily on the church.

I'd agree that church volunteers really do bring costs down though -- and congregational volunteering is just really healthy in general. It encourages members to exercise more agency, to think about service in concrete ways, and to spend more time fellowshipping with each other.

I had a pipe dream that I was going to get some of my local churches to collaborate more on developing/sharing OS software and technical support with each other, particularly around admin, member registries, etc... But I've had difficulty getting it off the ground. Most church members I know aren't technical, so there's just a very large education gap that has to be addressed first.

Don't internalize the feedback. There will always be haters and bashers (we had people trolling the newspaper article comment section when we got bought by Intel). The point is that if you provide a valuable service to someone you'll get meaningful feedback from them (maybe not all good!) and you can learn from that. Don't pay attention to people who are just recreationally crapping on you and you'll be fine.

If you try to launch something, and it doesn't go well for anyone - well, you learned something. I do a martial art (Brazilian Juijitsu) where one of the cliches is "you win or you learn". It may be a cliche, but it applies to a lot of things. But to extend the metaphor, you have to get on the mat.
An Interview with Mikael Brevik
Which engineering roles are available in London/remote?
A long time ago, I worked on a consulting engagement where the customer representative struggled to get direction from their higher-ups and made us implement a automatic color palette based on a company logo the uploaded. We easily extracted the main colors via imagemagick and then created a color palette from those by driving me colors with different hues etc. It was frustrating to not move forward on the actual business processes that the app was supposed to fulfill, but so much fun.
I've always hated the "it's worth what the market will bear truism." We are all part of the market, we all get to contribute to the assessment of value.

Absolutely. See the meme of how IDA Pro doesn’t (didn’t) have undo for evidence of this.
Except in this analogy the two birds in the bush give you a continuous stream of their eggs.
Sounds like you would be a prime candidate for a 'nightly' or 'developer preview' style release. Let the eager technically competent types give you feedback on the new features as you write them, provide feedback/bug reports etc, and when the new release is actually done push it out en masse.
"Perfect is the enemy of good"
The CVE is text is accurate, the commit is an abbreviation. I wish they would've included the CVE in the commit message though.

OpenBSD through 6.6 allows local users to escalate to root because a check for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in setuid programs can be defeated by setting a very small RLIMIT_DATA resource limit. When executing chpass or passwd (which are setuid root), _dl_setup_env in ld.so tries to strip LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the environment, but fails when it cannot allocate memory. Thus, the attacker is able to execute their own library code as root.

Also, certain system calls like set(e)[gu]id should be pledged() opt-out rather than opt-in. It's probably a breaking change in a lot of
software, but only some calls should ever be called in limited scopes where they're used and then prevented from being called ordinarily. You don't all the always doors unlocked, especially the ones that lead outside from the 11th floor without a fire escape, if you're only using a few of them.

I think OP took a look at Vue but stopped at a very superficial level. Vue’s Getting Started guide mentions how to handle both cases OP complaints about.

If you want to display only some items of an array, it is recommended to compute a new array that only includes the items you want to display[1]. A less performant way is to put a v-if into your v-for loop[2].

If you have a v-for loop `item in items` you can access `item` in any attribute. See [3] for an example.
