Not if you have a password-protected Yubikey with GPG/RSA signing, encryption, and authentication keys and a second backup Yubikey with the same keys. If you lose one, order two more ASAP, use the backup key to change your keys in every machine and revoke that key (thereby rendering the lost Yubikey and your backup useless). Wait for the new Yubikeys to arrive, generate new keys, change all machines to these new keys, and revoke the temporary keys you generated.

I take it you're not a big fan of JS? That's a lot like saying your not a fan of hammers. Maybe you aren't good at using them, maybe the noise scares you; maybe you think hammer wielders are all idiots and the only smart people are shovelers.

I used to be a globalist myself, which I still am, but I think globalization needs its urgent refactoring.

> No, Chesterton's Fence says for you to leave and think about why someone put it up originally, and figure out what was good about the fence

I don't see as much difference between that and "figure out what the code does" as you do. I agree they have some differences, but ultimately a code's functionality and the reasons why its functionality exists in its current location are strongly related. The "go away first" part is a parable, I don't think you have to actually go away.

Overall I'm somewhere between you and the article's author. I think your ignorant ancients argument has some merit, but only in certain cases. For instance, I don't see why the author is assuming people who promote flat hierarchy companies never actually considered what the function of the hierarchy was. This seems pretty ironic given that his whole point is not to assume that builders haven't engaged their brains. Also, as with ignorant ancients, it's possible that these hierarchies evolved, which could mean they're functional but not optimal, and may in fact no longer be required.

On the technical side, I think we've all sat down to rewrite some code that looks too complex, only to have the reasons for the complexity become apparent as we research the subject. This might just be a case for better documentation.
Honest question - what kind of capacity can possibly be supported during a pandemic when people already go to the doctor for (seemingly) trivial reasons?

I see the benefits here, don't get me wrong, but I can't imagine the waiting rooms when people go to the doctor with actual emergencies.
To be fair, they seem to be handling this crisis better than we are so far.
I'm with you - whenever a non-demoninational event goes down, or when someone says "take the higher power of your choice, could be Gandalf, it doesn't matter!" I can't help roll my eyes. It's an ignorant thing to say. Assuming a religion is "invalid" or not a "religion" if it doesn't have a godhead at all. Many don't, named or otherwise. "Higher Power." And lord forbid your chosen godhead is someone else's religion fallman. When I was growing up in SC and we'd do these school classroom prayers (public school, unconstitutional, but who's keeping score?), me being a cringy little 13 year old atheist would say shit like "hail satan" and raise ire of pretty much the entire school. So no, they don't really mean "your higher power of choice," they mean "your given godhead that I can convince myself is actually mine just under a different name."

> Microsoft already tried to migrate bits of userspace to C# in 2008 with windows vista, and that didn't exactly go well..

If there was an actual support from WinDev they would have managed to pull it off, instead they sabotaged the effort and went on redoing those C# classes as COM objects in Vista until we got UWP instead.

These kind of reboots do require a change of developer's generation to pull it off.
If it's an official statement on behalf of the company I think it's the most reasonable way to frame it. I don't care who the random lawyer or spokesperson actually reading the statement is 90% of the time what's more relevant is what the official stance of the company as decided by it's various parts is.
This is fantastic. I started Stripe's support team, built out our version of an internal tools team, and have since advised a bunch of mid-range startups on how to scale operations. Every company I've talked to is trying to figure out how to improve response times, but really lacks visibility into when load is coming in -- and especially any visibility into when it will come in.

The technical solution to modeling this out and providing more advanced forecasting is super interesting, and the product itself looks delightful to use (more than the spreadsheets our early support team used to be buried in navigating, at least :)
> You do not reshape the world on four hundred dollar lunches.

> Much of the article is about the democratic food changes brought about by Claus Meyer, Noma's original owner and the one who recruited Rene Redzepi for the original concept (and eventually sold Noma to Redzepi). What Redzepi is doing is definitely experimental and for the jet-set crowd, whereas the article details how Claus Meyer is working with Ikea and putting food in supermarkets...

You're judging the efforts of the staff by the clientele they serve? Big mistake.

I actually met the current creative staff at Noma when they came and dined at our restaurant, and they're super humble guys. I was expecting them to be in suits and ordering the most expensive wines, they were guests of Kimbal so it was all comp'd anyway. But instead they were in Dickies jackets and jeans and were interested in hearing about what we do/did as a farm-to-table and met our Team in BOH.

The current creative director at Noma is also the same guy who worked under Ferran at El Bulli, and if you haven't realized or can appreciate what they've done for food you're either entirely oblivious or beyond help.

Just the amount of attention that has been placed on food education and sustainable Ag practices, and sourcing locally and from organic farmers alone have made massive strides, MAD (Rene's conference) [1] is also a premier platform for launching these projects.

Granted, more can always be done, but restaurants are poor business ventures, and the staff are overworked and underpaid.

I am trying to understand that graph, it is not so easy actually.

What does it mean that 2020 shows 15K average disposable income in the US? That the average person has 15K left once they pay absolutely necessary to subsist? I find it hard to believe.

I think most people using the word "disposable income" would use the term the way I stated. Also the post you reply to uses it in that sense, not as a relative value to taxes.

I believe this graph shows something different altogether, it simply shows wages - taxes. It has no bearing as to the purchasing power of that salary and what you could afford with it.
This kind of language is not remotely new. It makes sense too, as a statement issued by a company in written form was likely authored by many people (who may or may not individually share the views in the statement) for the benefit of the company.
Forget commercial softwares, even the popular open-source video encoders like Handbrake or AviDemux or FFMpeg do not have AV1 or any other competing encoders in their release. They do support HEVC though. That itself is telling on the state of the competitors.

Note that I am in no way an advocate for HEVC (even if I sound like one :). I am just speaking from a practical point of view, as a user. If tomorrow there comes another encoder that takes less time to encode, and offers better compression, I'll immediately dump H.264 and H.265 for it.
Mitigation should be done at the state level, with the federal government recommending best practices.
> but didn't make the effort because of all the stories about how hard it was to deal with the borrow checker. Then I realized that for a programmer like me that was used to managing memory in my head, the borrow checker would be a piece of cake.

Yeah as you've alluded to Rust _feels_ harder, but is easier if one considers the entire effort curve of a project. Rust front loads the problem solving so the hard work is at the beginning of the project instead of C/C++ with its long tail of debugging that takes up 90% of one's effort.

Of course, if you don't know that the hard work at the beginning is going to pay off it's hard to commit to it. And coders don't know that until they've tried it. It's why I think Go is a good stepping stone to Rust.

Go is easier to get into and useful in its own right, but most importantly it introduces the concept of "if it compiles, it runs" to coders who are used to compilers that fight against them (ala C/C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, etc). Once someone has a taste for helpful compilers I think it's easier for them to swallow Rust. In particular that idea that the borrow checker is there to _help_ you and the supposed "difficulty" of working with it is more about the compiler being transparent with you, instead of the C/C++ way of looking at your broken program and just shrugging and going "Okay, if you say so...".

Look at how nationalized healthcare works in other countries (and how the ACA rolled out here) - initially sure, lots of fearmongering about how there will be death panels and super long lines... then everything gets into the hands of semi-competent people that actually build and maintain the system and the public cries foul whenever major cutbacks to the system are proposed.

Once we've overcome the knee-jerk reactionary "Don't change anything" response, then the system becomes popular and untouchable, much like Social Security and Medicare.

Can be fixed, but wont necessarily be fixed. In fact, it means that multiple levels can be incompetent or even actively malicious, increasing the dysfunction past what a central authority is capable of. Each "check and balance" can be used to force an otherwise working system into deadlock, which can have very destructive to whomever or whatever depends on that system.

You can see this in our easily manipulated and poorly deployed voting system, our poor response to the current pandemic, our limited and overly expensive healthcare, on and on.

Comparing almost boutique level jeans made in the U.S. with mass produced Levi's made elsewhere doesn't help us determine price differences in off-shoring vs. manufacturing in the U.S.

You can also play the suppliers off each other. My dad's employer did a lot of data processing. They had two computer vendors they liked to keep near a 50-50 split when they weren't punishing one of them for some perceived slight.

I learned much later that the only way to get IBM and some other big vendors to do anything at all for you is to move your checkbook. That is, if the checkbook might be coming out of your pocket, they're interested. If you threaten to put it away, they are very interested. The rest of the time? Fuck you, we have other checkbooks to worry about.
Yes if you're vulnerable it would be better to get it today than in a month when hospitals are full. However it would be even better not to get it at all or get in 6 months time when doctors know more about how to treat the disease and could have drugs that are known to work.

China, the US and the EU are fundamentally different to most other countries/economies. They are political and economic super powers -- effectively.

Ireland simply cannot make everything the way China can from scratch. It's not even an option on the table let alone some abstract trade off. Complex supply chains are the only way to achieve any meaningful economic growth.

This also affects how our economy works. We don't get the same "multiplier effect" that the US will get from a stimulus package.
