That's super interesting. I would imagine another benefit of that system is pattern detection. It would be much easier to notice a "beat" happening than with log messages, where you need to put things on a timeseries representation to see those patterns show up.
Seems like quite a few people built PCs because Apple's desktops have been atrophied, that definitely played a part for me, too :)

I've designed a water cooled mITX system with PCIe GPU that should've fitted into a 2DIN car radio slot, which is doable with a deep enough slot, a PCIe riser, and even a DC/DC power supply in the box. I never got around to actually building that due to life getting in the way, but the components ended up in a laser-cut acrylic cube crammed as small as can be. I have to say the laser-cut acrylic case works quite well, and is well within reach of anyone with a maker space close-by and basic CAD skills.

TL;DR: anecdote about SFF PC building.

Is it worth it? If because of an inefficient process I need to charge $1000 for a mask to break even should I bother at all, or just let the more efficient producers do it for a few cents. (remember break even costs not profit)
> I think one should definitely try to make code pieces as modular as possible

Absolutely. That's the key. Modules and layers; each with its own project identity and lifecycle. loose-coupling, minimal APIs, and reevaluation phases at the completion of every module.

If you do this right, projects can be almost "Lego" simple, with the ability to rapidly reconfigure to adapt to changing requirements.

Here's an example. Yesterday, I was working on a "UUID scrubber" for the Bluetooth project I was working on (https://github.com/RiftValleySoftware/BlueVanClef). I started by having a private class function to do the scrubbing, but realized that this would be something that could be useful for any similar project, so I broke it off, and added it to my toolbox project (https://github.com/RiftValleySoftware/RVS_Generic_Swift_Tool...). That meant that I also had to write a unit test for it, and then update my Carthage include.

Took, like fifteen minutes, and I now have a permanent tool for scrubbing UUIDs.

Another habit that I developed, was making every project I do, including "one-off" experimental projects, "ship quality."

I simply cannot put too much stress on the need for maximum quality. As a lone developer, I just cannot afford bugs. It's imperative to do it right the first time.

The general argument against a high-quality process is that it is inefficient and slow.

Unless you make it a habit.

We woke up one morning to find the bloody remains of a white dove on the lawn. Then a couple of days later there was another dying dove in the middle of the road.

We put a bell on our cat after that - although at the moment she's only being allowed out in the mornings just in case someone with Covid pets her and she brings it in on her fur.

Cats have a fascinating territorial timeshare system. We have outdoor cams set up and there's steady cat traffic along the main garden path at all hours, often with one cat stalking another just out of sight - with occasional face-offs and mewling matches to claim a new slot.

Your first paragraph is a real argument. Do you want to dip into the actual US constitution and try to itemize which rights you agree we still have and which rights you're arguing we've lost? That would make sense to me. (I claim the second, third and fourth amendments are doing fine right now. If you want, you can pick one or more and say the government is infringing on them.)

The second and third paragraphs in your comment, I'm sorry, appear to be just fluff. Which specific constitution? What do the words actually say? We can read the real words in an actual constitution ... or we can generalize and, I'm sorry, in my opinion that amounts to blowing smoke.
That's the exact opposite. Professional drivers just look where they are trying to go (visualize their line or however you want to describe it) and the muscle memory follows.

The whole purpose of checklists, point and call, etc, etc, is to explicitly not use muscle memory and break that shortcut in the brain so that when something is wrong that one time in a thousand you actually notice.
Hägglund's argument falls apart once one recognizes that a judgment occurring after death is just as terminal an event for the believer as death is for the unbeliever. This, of necessity, means that for the believer, one's time before death is also everything, and thus the premise of his argument collapses. How one views that time, of course, is radically different for both parties, but the outcome is not necessarily different. For the believer attempting to escape eternal damnation, socialism could be an equally valid means of serving one's neighbor.
I've been put off from being a Scaleway customer after having been in contact with their customer support and them doing this is not really changing my opinion about them.
I’ve had success doing somewhat the opposite. I usually am not fully awake until 9/10 am, even when I wake up at 7:30/8. So I do my light admin stuff in the morning, eat lunch (I eat lunch at 11:30 usually), go on a walk or do something not work, and then do 2-4 hours of intensive work.
This idea comes up a lot, and, while I like the principle, there's a silly loophole that would need to be closed up somehow. The way I've heard it presented is like this: say you have a company, Burger Corp, where the lowest level cashier is a minimum wage earner making ~$15k per year. That would mean that Burger Corp's CEO could theoretically only be making ~$150k per year, right?

The way to get around it is to have all the low level employees be employed by Burger Corp Crew Members Inc, and all the executives be employed by Burger Corp Executive Services Inc. If the lowest level employee of Burger Corp Executive Services makes $500k, then that means the CEO could make $5M. BCES then contracts with BCCM to actually staff the stores.

I'm not sure how much of a problem this would actually be, but it does cut against the spirit of the idea of limiting CEO pay. I'm also not sure what the best way to close this loophole would be that also preserves the spirit of the rule, but the lesson here is that people will get around any arbitrary rule like this quite easily. That's actually how we ended up with CEOs having fairly low actual salaries (IIRC, Jeff Bezos takes a salary of around $80k, and a number of CEOs take $1 salaries), and the rest of their comp in stock -- an IRS rule change at some point (I believe in the 80's) is what brought on this trend, which still continues today.

Not sure why you've been voted down so much, but as a home worker I certainly prefer my fairly beefy 4 year old desktop to a modern laptop - more memory, more cpu.

I guess the question is how long home working will remain, but talking to my team earlier, those of us who do work from home are set up with multiple monitors, decent ergonimics, and a decent work location. Those who go to the office are working in random locations and finding things far harder.

Rumor that XCode is present on iOS or iPad OS 14
You would be wrong to a surprising degree. Stores have been limiting the number of laptops, prebuilt desktops, and monitors people can buy at once, and makers like Dell and Lenovo saw a huge spike in shipments, so much that they have even raised prices. VARs are having a hard time keeping things in stock.
Not so much "contractors," in terms of actual, physical people, but a split corporate structure where the management company contracts out staffing to the company that actually does the non-executive running of the business. See my sibling comment.

Tartine's bread is good. Their ham and cheese croissant is next level by far the best savoury baked good I have had between Europe and North America. Every time I go back to have it I question if it can live up to my expectations. Every time it knocks them out of the park. I am already doubting that it will be that good when I go back to get it again...
It's highly unlikely to be a showstopper, but you have to actually install, configure and test the software on those new images.

Scaleway just decided that you're not shipping any code today, you're retooling your configuration.

I don't think it's that bad, but it's not something a platform you trust to run anything valuable on would ever do.

Great idea, just have to wait for China to try it out
> Closing china internally while allowing outgoing international flights

That didn't happen. When China shut down Wuhan, they shut down all transit, including international flights. The airport was completely closed. Even foreign nationals needed special permission and special chartered flights organized by their governments to leave.

> WHO to pressure outside world away from closing borders was intentional.

The WHO has always been against closing borders during an epidemic. This wasn't a new recommendation. Just look up the WHO recommendations for every Public Health Emergency of International Concern. They discouraged travel bans in every single case.
How to choose your ETL tool
It sounds like you were in San Francisco prior to the remote work change and went back to Sydney once that happened? If not how did it work when everyone was in the office?

If only one member of a team is in a vastly different time zone I haven't seen it work myself unfortunately. Not that it's absolutely impossible just that you're always going to be the guy out of sync with the team due to the small amount of overlap to work with anyone else. No amount of async communication will ever fix that the majority of the time anyone wants to ask you a simple question they'll have to wait until tomorrow (which for simple questions means they'll just spend time to try to figure it out themselves instead of ask you) and vice versa. Where I've seen vastly different time zones be successful is when the group is more evenly distributed and it turns into rolling pockets of collaboration rather than a stark handoff at the fray of the working day for each party. It doesn't so much matter if a particular time zone has most of the people just that for most of your work day it's possible for you to interact live with a few others the team and vice versa.

If the above doesn't seem possible you'll either have to find the unicorn answer which is going to be very specific to what your team does (e.g. maybe is there a role which takes almost exactly 1 FTE that doesn't actually need to be in the team as much as produce deliverables for them or maybe by sheer rare chance your group is willing and actually functions well with a majority of communication being async), find a way to come to terms with a 3rd shift job, or find a new position that matches your needs better.
Mental: relating to disorders of the mind.
Since they're both presumably SSRIs (in the case of St. John's wort this is not 100% clear, since it seems to have some dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity as well), the activity on serotonergic signaling would be enhanced, possibly up to the point where that becomes toxic (i.e., causes a serotonin syndrome) - that would depend on dosage. Additionally at least St. John's wort has IIRC some activity on CYP enzymes in the liver that could lead to interactions, but that one I would need to look up. Either way you probably shouldn't do it, but why would you?

We would have to put some laws in place to keep executives from hiring the majority of employees as contractors, but this seems doable. CEO compensation is out of control in the US. We pay way more for executives who don't seem to be anymore talented than their European counterparts. They just have access to a similarly sized but much easier/homogenous (in terms of regulation, language, culture) market.
A 4 star general in the US Army makes something like $300k a year in total compensation. From a value of labor perspective, it’s hard to fathom that the Carnival Cruise Lines CEO is worth $12M annually on the basis of ability. Clearly a premium is being paid for something.

Since society worships at the altar of shareholder value, public companies should be required to release data justifying how compensation maximizes shareholder value.

For a cruise line, it obvious how paying some filipino able seaman poverty wages advances shareholder interest. And obviously the CFO likes the idea of having line workers from third world countries with limited rights whenever possible. But it’s unclear what the value of the $12M CEO is. What is the expected performance of a $1M CEO?
"wel" is basically nothing like the English "well", except in archaic speech. It is similar to "do", but you can't use "do" to positively affirm nearly as much as you could use "wel". There is simply no way to directly translate it, and it has no equivalent in English - though you can describe it, as the positive "not".

I do enjoy being in the office sometimes but not every day. After this is all over I imagine many companies will go “remote work” for at least part of the time. There we’re many naysayer companies that were forced into doing it and now realize work still gets done.

Longer term this whole experience will likely be a step-change in what “office work” looks like moving forward and that probably means a lot less commercial office space needed.
I love how they get one "expert" to say something and that's suddenly a news story.

You should check your definition.

Define robust:

1. Strong and healthy; vigorous

- (of a process, system, organization, etc.) able to withstand or overcome adverse conditions.

JS is the most robust language we have according to the main definition, however you measure it. What other language is as alive as JS right now? What other language has as much programmer attention?

JS is also easily robust according to the noted sub-definition. What other language would survive the web? The web, an environment that could easily be described as "very adverse"... What other language is ready to run in a browser where it will be dynamically and continuously mixed with modules from many different sources, without breaking? JS was built for this.

What other popular language is so easily runnable cross platform? What other popular language lets you program with both OOP and functional paradigms while also being as popular as JS? What other popular language lets you monkey patch things to fit a piece of code into any situtation?

Robust means all of these things to me. What does robust mean to you and what is your example of the most robust programming language? You didn't say...

None of these fit the bill: Python, Ruby, C, C++, Golang, Rust, C#.
Yes, this seems very reasonable.
I've got a very modest Ryzen 5 1400 build with 24GB memory and some inexpensive GPU's to support 4 monitors. Nothing expensive. I'm not a dev so I don't need to compile or anything, although I do wish my GPUs were better, but only when I need to encode video.

The biggest takeaway is that I have a case that is 15 years old or so. It probably came with a P4 in it back in the day. For my use, it is good enough. It's not pretty. But it doesn't need to be. It just holds parts in place, which it does just fine.

With my next build, which I hope to do from scratch (everything's been an upgrade for the longest time) I hope to spend a grand on a mild gaming level machine, and another few hundred for a single giant 4k monitor rather than the 4 monitors I currently have. Then I'll buy a new case.

You left out theory 4, which is what the vast majority of virologists believe:

4. The virus transferred from an infected animal (not necessarily a bat) to a human, either at the Wuhan South China Seafood market or somewhere else, possibly in the countryside. The market might have just been the site of the first superspreading event. In a big country like China, millions of people come into contact with infected animals all the time. There's no need to invent a Hollywood-style theory about the virus escaping from a lab to explain how it got into humans.
