The non-Zoom working class is also the group most impacted by the economic disruption of shutdowns, which in many (most?) places is needless and everywhere is having regressive economic outcomes, benefiting large companies at the expense of small businesses.
Provide data that shows it is a larger risk. Without that data you are arguing based on ideology not facts.

The thing about not working is that we have government mechanisms to help those people. We can beef up social security, unemployment benefits, or direct payments. Then people can go back to work afterwards. Work will always exist. It exists even now with a “closed” economy.

The thing about dying is that it’s pretty final.
Rumours of Hangouts' death are greatly exaggerated. I used it a few weeks ago.

Also, in Google's defence, no-one loved Wave, and they gave it to Apache rather than vanishing it. (Unlike Reader, which just vanished forever.)
Hangouts was great when it came out and a bunch of people I know adopted it... and then it stopped getting meaningful updates - instead of growing and expanding hangouts, they decided to rename it, replace it, redo it. I'm pretty sure there's a team at google that's just renames products.

Here's the craziest one that actually happened to me.

The company I worked for had installed what's best described as a mini-supercomputer (though we avoided the term) at a site in Boulder. We started getting reports of failures on the internal communication links between the compute nodes ... only at high load, late in the day. Since I was responsible for the software that managed those links, I got sent out. Two days in a row, after trying everything we could to reproduce or debug the problem, I got paged minutes after I'd left (and couldn't get back in) to tell me that it had failed again.

Our original theory was that it had to do with cosmic rays causing bit-flips. This was a well known problem with installations in that area, having caused multi-month delays for some of the larger supercomputer installations in the area. But we'd already corrected for that. It wasn't the problem.

What it ultimately turned out to be was airflow and cooling. The air's thinner up there, so it carries less heat. But it wasn't the processors or links that were getting too hot. It was the power supply. When a power supply gets warmer it gets less efficient. Earlier in the day or with shorter runs as we tried different things this wasn't enough to cause a problem. With it being warmer later in the day, continuous load for longer periods was enough to cause slight brown-outs, and those were making our links flaky. And of course it would always restart just fine because it had cooled down a bit.

The fix ended up being one line in a fan-controller config.
In general, yes.

Everyone seems to have their preferred style of coding, and it is an easy defence mechanism, when presented with anyone who tries and finds it wanting, to say that "Well they didn't do it properly".

You find that with Microservices vs Monolith, Strong types vs Weak types, Exception Handling vs Results, Agile vs Waterfall.

People fragment into camps which turn into echo chambers and it's easy to dismiss anyone who doesn't commit to that cult as being unpure and not worthy of being in the cult anyway.
This one's ambiguous. It may be referring to "they say" "who's they?", or "them" as the invisible enemy. Maybe "them" is illuminati/reptillians/etc. Or maybe he's rejecting non binary gender, who knows

Like herd immunity, the large stockpile of ventilators will help forestall future pandemic lockdowns.
Mmmmyes and no. Depending on the size of your project, that may not be the case. I've had to work with two titans of monoliths, maintained by relatively small teams(anywhere between 2 and 6-7 people for several million lines of code). At some point managing a codebase this big within a single project becomes a huge burden, for both developers and even more so for those who develop and do code-reviews(first hand experience right here). At times I've spent 3 weeks straight doing code reviews with 2 notebooks filled with notes and diagrams of the different components inside the code. And at that point, the easiest and most sensible thing to do is chunk out large parts of the project and put them aside as a microservice with the adequate amounts of tests. For small projects, microservices make little absolutely no sense. But in the case of something the size of AdWords(which my two such experiences can be compared to), you are playing with a raging lion if you decide to go monolith.

My argument here is that it's not so much the size of your team but rather the size and scale of your project that needs to be taken into consideration.
Sure. But why would anyone pursue it if they've demonstrated that long-term it's financially insolvent?

But how antilockdown? Like, everyone can do what they want, no new rules, back to pre-covid?

I think that voluntary-only measures will cost a LOT of lives. I think everyone agrees more restriction == more lives saved, this is the classic argument for antiterrorism. Where people are diverging is where the best place to draw that line.

Maybe everyone should begin with a disclaimer of how many people they are willing to let die relative to essential-workers-only.

I disagree. Omitting critical information is a (more advanced) form of disinformation.
You have a valid point on Facebook which may in fact be worse, but Apple's business case is not to hoover up every single piece of information about your life and then sell it to advertisers.

Pay isn't the issue, rural areas have low cost of living in general and the pay is actually pretty good. Not SF tech wages good, but still good considering not much education is required for the labor jobs. (the farmers make a ton of money but that requires good management because the one great year makes up for many years of losses)

The real problem is that it is a job where you are along for hours every day, in a rural area where there aren't many options at the end of the day for fun. Cities have some nice points, most people would like farming for a week and then get bored.

I got a tiny one of these.

One time I was writing some code in C. I found a bug, the solution seemed pretty obvious, so I fixed it, recompiled the code, and ran it again. The bug was still there.

I took a look at the rest of the code in case that I missed something. I couldn't find anything, so I added a few print statements and recompiled. I ran the code and nothing came up.

Interesting, apparently the code is not executing the branches it should. I verified the input data and code. It didn't make sense, there had to be some serious bug there that I didn't consider. I added a bunch more prints.

Recompile and execute. Still nothing. Wait a minute, THAT doesn't look good. I added a print statement right at the entry point of the program. Nothing.

At this point the root problem became apparent; my changes just weren't getting compiled. Phew, problem solved! I cleaned all the cached files and recompiled the source code. Those print statements still weren't coming up.

At the end I had to move my source code to another machine and compile it there to get it working. I suspect some global variables or path trickery to be involved, but up to this day I still haven't got a clue what was wrong, or have I seen it happen again.

The all-time best hacks to make work from home easy and fun
I'm American and I was home schooled by my parents out of Ideological incentives. I also know a lot of home schooled families. My experience is anecdotal but real and somewhat informed.

Home schooling has a number of outsize advantages that neither public nor private school has:

* Individualized attention and instruction especially in the early grades.

* An emphasis on self learning and self instruction in the later grades.

* It is more time efficient allowing young children more time for play.

* It encourages development of social skills by imitating adults not you peers. In my particular circle of home schooled children this resulted in being more comfortable holding a conversation with other adults and in general less problematic social behaviors with other children.

* In many of our cases including my own personal case it resulted in a better education than the public school was capable of providing. (I was on the path to failing if my parents had not intervened in this way.)

The trade off is that our family had to be single income for most of my childhood and thus very low income. We were poor though I didn't know it at the time. My mom and dad had to sacrifice quite a bit to make it work. Home schooling requires a large investment in money and time to be done efectively.

I by no means think that home schooling is for everyone. My wife and I had to choose a different route for our family due to a number of personal circustances. However for those who are prepared and capable of doing what it takes it can be a superior education for many children.

I also do not think that public school is evil. It's an incredible tool to empower people to better themselves. But like homeschooling it's effectiveness is a function of the community and society they are in being willing to make the tradeoffs and sacrifices needed to have an effective education system.

For those families who are in a society where that is not the case home schooling can provide a way out where there might not have been any other way.

One of my main reasons to go with Amazon, is how trustworthy their service is.

Package lost? They send another one free.
Package delayed too long? Get a refund (and keep the package when it arrives).
Don't like the product? Return it for free.

There's never any friction, even in the bad scenarios. Combined with the fact that they consistently have the lowest price, it's hard to argue in favour of other services.
> in the U.S. it seems most people that want things re-opened is a part of the Zoom working class and the upper classes.

This does not seem accurate to me at all. The upper classes have fled the hot-spot cities. The upper-class-aspirant professionals are stuck in the cities working via Zoom. The risk of premature opening there is real, so they're not pushing for reopening.

The people pushing for re-opening are mainly non-Zoom non-essential working class people who are feeling the economic pain of the prolonged shutdowns in places where they're not needed.

Also, to a lesser extent, people who object to the restrictions on freedoms on cultural-ideological grounds, either on principle or on a cost-benefit basis.
So you want to risk people’s lives by forcing them to work?

And yes, it is forcing. Amazon, a fantastic example right now, is removing the ability for warehouse workers to stay at home, unless they take unpaid leave. No pay, no healthcare benefits, unless you go into a warehouse and risk your lives.
In sweden we have a law mandated "vilorum", that's basically a room where you should be able to take a nap. However this is only applicable when an office is larger than x people (x ~50 ?) and is frustratingly often just implemented as minimum effort to abide with the law, like a large sofa that in theory could be used to take an uncomfortable nap. Meaning it's only used in rare cases when you are too tired to even go home (or late at night when an office party has gone off the hooks)

Ranking attempts tend to go bad and become hellish and/or are abused to get rid of people for personal or political reasons while bypassing normal processes and protections against firing.

I mean, software developers love stack ranking, right? We can go ahead and fire anyone who doesn't close X Jira tickets per month, I'm sure. Lines of code? Business impact? (oh, sorry, that critical bugfix you did doesn't fit in our measurement framework so you're underperforming, have a PIP).

"Wait but we can just measure performance with tests" LOL OK, if you thought "teaching to the test" was bad before...

And anyway they do already measure performance with year-over-year student progress on state tests, and there are consequences if you suck at it for too long. At least around here. There's enough leeway that it's not horrible but it's also not great and does encourage some of those teach-to-the-test behaviors that people claim to hate. A good teacher would 100% for sure teach better not being judged under that system, and it's one of many things that push them out of teaching—even if they do fine on the metrics, it contributes to frustration and job dissatisfaction, having to do less-than-optimal things or else stress about test scores[1]. A bad one, perhaps, is better for being so judged.

[1] Example: several of these kids are effectively two grade levels behind on [subject]. Do I try to fill in those gaps, and leave them with little understanding of the material that will be on this year's test and so nearly certain to miss every question, or do I treat of the earlier material only when absolutely necessary so they see most of this year's stuff (even if understanding it poorly), so score a little higher than they would otherwise? The former is definitely better for the students, but if you get a "low" class you're (the teacher) gonna be fucked on your standardized testing scores if you do that. This is a real, and not uncommon, situation to be in.
Display intermittently blanking, flickering or losing video signal:

https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/73861...

"Surprisingly, we have also seen this issue connected to gas lift office chairs. When people stand or sit on gas lift chairs, they can generate an EMI spike which is picked up on the video cables, causing a loss of sync. If you have users complaining about displays randomly flickering it could actually be connected to people sitting on gas lift chairs. Again swapping video cables, especially for ones with magnetic ferrite ring on the cable, can eliminate this problem. There is even a white paper about this issue."
