It doesn't depend only on your family situation. I am a PhD student working for the last 6 weeks from home without kids. And and also without a good income. I never expected my makeshift desk with the cheapest IKEA chair to become my work environment for 8+ hours per day, and I seriously worry about long-term injury resulting from this.

This isn't meant to diminish the difficulties of people who need to look after their children. But I work in a laboratory where the senior people blithely complain about how hard it is to manage shared child-raring duties in a well-equipped home office, while junior employees are more or less expected to magically have a productive home office in a shared flats, often in less-than-ideal environment (e.g. with noisy room-mates or building sites next door), with RSI staring us down.

That's an interesting observation. I'm in the camp that FB has significant influence in the administration via Peter Thiel, who I'm guessing has lots of friends in high places.

There's also the part where FB controls billions of eyeballs.

I don't worry for them in the slightest.
I've tried Korean fried chicken quite few times and I was disappointed. We even supposedly have quite a bit of good Korean restaurants here, but alas KFC or even air-fried frozen chicken always won me.
Maybe the term "fake" is over-used, but I meant something along the lines of selling people an expensive training that leaves them in debt and unemployable. Some of those schools also made hyperbolic claims about the career prospects and earnings of their graduates.
This Isn't My Calling
That's a culture and policy thing. A business could easily say "if you're feeling a bit under the weather and not sure, you are instructed for the good of the people around you to work from home those days just in case". In fact, I would be intensely surprised if businesses did not, in the present situation. It'll take a long time for people to stop being "evacuate the room" level jumpy about even minor symptoms.

Having at least some distributed population is a national asset in the event of conflict. Not to mention some people need to live in rural areas due to the nature of their work.

Also, what’s it worth to you to enable rural America to have a similar enough lifestyle to you that you’re both more likely to consider yourselves the same sort of Americans? National cohesion is worth something.
And if you don't have unlimited sick days, it's much worse because people refuse to stay home so as not to use up their allotted time off. My wife used to work at a place that lumped PTO and sick days together, and it definitely created a culture of coming into work no matter how sick you are (especially if you already have plans to use your PTO).
'in 2014 scientists reported that they had grown oyster mushrooms on a substance made from used diapers, reducing their weight and volume by eighty per cent'

This may refer to a study in 2015. [1] Along with Ideonella sakaiensis, bacteria which can also break down PET[2], there seems to be potential for nature to heal the wounds we have inflicted on it.

Can anybody explain what is preventing us from expanding this? According to this article, 'bacteria are far easier to harness for industrial uses'. [3] What limits these solutions to acedemia and studies instead of being used to reduce plastic pollution on a widespread basis?

At least with wsl2 I get the Linux goodness and decent docker support finally, hopefully it can roll out of insiders in into GA soon so everyone can get their hands on it.
> But we can't. We just can't.

Yes, actually, we can. We can reopen things like this with caution, some new social precautions, protect those who are vulnerable, and calculatingly reevaluate the risk once it turns out that the situation has become more or less safe.

This idea that we "can't" is simply bogus and based on nothing. And the idea that people, who don't put the same weight on the risks the way that you do, are being childish, is asinine. People with your position might sound like they're the adults in the room, but a policy that is more rigorous is not necessarily the better policy.

> And not understanding that, while acting as if your feelings matter more than others' lives makes you sound like a spoiled child.

Clearly, I'm a spoiled little child who doesn't care about the lives of others. /s

How would you like it if we made the stay-at-home orders permanent, decreased the speed limits to 25 MPH, and banned all drugs and alcohol, and put strict limits on added sugar and fat? After all, we could save tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives if we all just sacrificed our productivity and happiness. If we're going to apply your argument towards a single virus, why not go all the way?

Even if you were to say yes, the vast majority of people don't actually want that because this idea that we're all supposed to stay alive is a relatively new idea and, in order to accomplish it, requires a lot of sacrifice. We don't want to live this way forever, even if it makes sense from a utilitarian standpoint. There is nothing wrong with accepting that a percentage of people are always going to die. This is not spoiled or childish.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it! It sounds like IA is aware of the need to have multiple approaches (and places) to backup as much of the data as possible.
No, I'm saying I searched online and found nothing to corroborate your statement.
I think this site would be improved if there were a guideline discouraging not just snark, but also sarcasm. Sarcasm is often a technique for covering unwarranted accusations, strawmen, bitterness, and worse behind vague innuendo and implication, which makes it more difficult to uncover and address the real nature of the toxicity and dysfunction motivating the sarcastic comments.

If a commenter is encouraged to voice their criticism and premises more directly and explicitly, the merit (or lack thereof) of their position is more readily subject to honest examination.
Azure has some decent services, and a lot of people do run Windows beyond MS's own services. That said, I'm surprised the Linux users aren't closer to 75%, and bet they will be with kubernetes uptick over time for newer projects.
Great in theory, and I agree completely, but invariably you will have a set of people who live for getting attention and they are noisy.
I'm sure the thinking is similar to this:

Don't limit your search to the US. The "dictionary word" problem is reduced in worldwide search, which shows a more convincing trend for flutter. Though I wouldn't say it has a large or clear-cut lead on React Native.

The soft discrimination actually happened much earlier than that. I think it was happening in the 20s and 30s already.
Yes I think that line highlights the "different strokes for different folks" aspect of learning things: my instinct when I learned javascript and python was to pick up and read long books about them! I'm glad there are lots of different kinds of resources that exist, which people can pick and choose from as best suits them.
Be attached to the problem not the form of the solution. The user of your software doesn't care about any of those things they don't experience.

Recently I had to analyze some source code, trace 50-100 endpoints to mutating transactions, and document them in a concise format. I ended up making a utility to do this. It did exactly enough so I could copy+paste the results and no more. It was a hack that ran ripgrep twice over the same files and gave partially organized results that another program condensed into a who-calls tree and finally turned upside-down to be caller-callee tree for copy-paste.

Have exact use cases. Know what your user wants to do and why. Know all the things that don't matter to them and steer away from those.

The other things you speak of is Craft (or at its worst golf). I enjoy the exercises but don't fool yourself into thinking this is getting you anywhere close to a product.
Kind of a chicken and egg situation, I looked at sciter for a project about a year ago and estimated that it would cost more time/money to get things off the ground in your framework than using my existing codebase and frameworks with larger ecosystems.

I can't really commit to sciter and your flavor of JS until it has a larger community, more docs, and more onboarding materials so I can get teams up to speed and working quickly, reinventing fewer wheels, and have more discoverability in your docs and community so I can even know how to do things and what I don't need to rewrite.

Some bencharks comparing engine performance to V8 would also be much appreciated.
What's the difference between thinking that you are conscious, and actually being conscious? How can we define our perception of being conscious? Is it simply the ability to observe our own thinking (or feeling, or perceiving) process? If so, what is the output of such observation, and why do we think that there has to be (or should be) something more than just the programmed response for that given data input? I.e.:

if(is_currently_observed(my_own_thought)) {
invoke_feeling('being_conscious')
}

Edit: I swear that I am conscious. I can feel it.

Should give Dapper a try, much cleaner imho... Though one of the projects I'm on is no abstraction at all.. most of the calls are via sprocs and using JSON for data input/output from the db directly.

edit: by no abstraction, we have like 4 db methods that have a different generic type interface, but that's it across hundreds of different SP calls at the API later.
I've used React Native for a client and, whilst it was super clunky, I still enjoyed being able to write React to deploy to mobile. With React Native for Web, you can technical write code that writes to a bunch of different platforms, a big selling point for businesses.
I'm surprised to hear that to be quite honest. The feature gap is still pretty significant for any serious production deployment. MS is working hard to close the gap, but given basic enterprise features like database mirroring still aren't there - I'm not sure why any large enterprise would shift at this point.

It is not just the soundcard; but the entire solution.

When I looked it, it was for the microphone (400 EUR) + focusrite 2i2 (150, yeah, I looked at dual) + cloudlifter (150) + boom arm (75) + cables (let's say 25) => 800 EUR. I tried not to think about GoXLR...

Compared to that, NT-USB + boom arm (PSA1) was only 200. Plus the space saved on the desk.

I don't really understand, what you mean with being at mercy of Apple and Microsoft. The only problem with USB mics that I'm aware of might be timing/lag, if you need it to be precise. That could be problem for singers singing to instruments, but not for spoken word.

The community is finally at its first apex. I tried it this past weekend, and the VSCode setup was so sexy and easy to get started. I dropped React-Native in a heart beat, even losing a few weeks of work.

The biggest gripe I have with React-Native is the many JS packages on npm that we can't use due to how the code is exported. It's a huge hack job, which Flutter absolutely destroyed by having everything I needed as a package that just worked.

One thing I'm looking at on Flutter, is how their public packages age. If I can't use a 3 year old package on modern day Flutter, there will be some big problems coming soon.
If GitHub pages starts complaining about bandwidth, most of the cloud providers have a way of using their storage buckets (S3 for AWS) as static websites.
Following this line of reasoning, one must be worried about who one ought to pay when one makes a wheel out of dirt. I mean that honestly. As a society, we agree the buck ends somewhere for the most part. That which is freely available or observable knowledge typically doesn't mandate compensative.

Public DARPA knowledge is presumably available to every American citizen (or at least it ought to be, since they presumable paid for it). So is employee behavior.

In general, I'm not sure you should be paid for simply having knowledge. You must apply it. Patents represent a recapture of the process for producing knowledge (however poorly one may argue they do it), but those come with an expiration date too.

That is to say, all knowledge eventually loses its price, and some never had any to begin with.
100% agree. Winamp was a hacker's application. iTunes is a company's application.
>Oracle, for example, has moved its yearly conference to Las Vegas.

There's a few reasons. The Fed's mandate to "promote maximum employment" has taken the form of ensuring properly functioning capital markets. ETFs not getting too dislocated from NAV is an important part of that because otherwise they become a useless hedging instrument. Lack of effective hedges increases volatility in markets and forces investors to reduce positions. Further reducing positions during a sell-off causes an even steeper sell-off, etc blah blah.

Additionally and more importantly, primary market transactions are priced off secondary market levels. During the sell-off and before the Fed intervened, corporate bond issuance completely vanished. A large portion of US companies are debt-financed and would be unable to finance operations or be forced to pay way higher rates without functioning debt markets. Ensuring both the primary and secondary market functions properly fulfills (in their theory) their mandate of promoting maximum employment because without either, a lot more companies would have gone under or laid off way more people.
"Doctor" is always respected, senior or not, in every society going back to the stone age. It's the nature of the profession. And doctors have authority over people in the workplace - nurses and technicians primarily - even if they don't fire or give out raises.

"Senior lawyer" isn't a thing AFAIK. Law firm partners or senior partners have management roles, or at least, influence, in their firms. Otherwise you're an associate, or in private practice, working for the government, or as corporate counsel (where again, you might manage teams of people). A random lawyer with a small private practice isn't going to command a ton of respect in society generally, even if they do very well financially.
Reading my comment again, I feel that I should add: not delivering on time makes us very anxious, because we don't want to deliver a bad customer experience that comes with being late. That's why when uncertainty is introduced in the system, delivery estimates sometimes get pushed out significantly, or an estimated date isn't provided at all. When we announced that C5a was in the works, without a date, it does leave you (the customer) wondering when it's going to arrive. Quite a lot has transpired since the announcement, and we are still working hard to deliver this as quickly and safely as we can.
Then don’t use a metaphor of a gold mine. If you compare TON to shares of a gold mine (what they did in the linked blog) then clearly it is a security.
What city have you tried it in? Its relatively new in the US and it was becoming trendy so there are a lot of places that still do a pretty bad job since most people don't have a baseline.

I've wrestled with this for DECADES!

I've built software with a configuration database (Windows registry) and with flat configuration file-folders (*nix). I feel like I'm running in a circle because the trade-offs are so equally balanced that there's no best-case. From considering backups and database consistency, to tripwire malware detection of changed settings, to automation of access, to consistency in naming, retrieval, and type conventions, to self-documentation, to backwards compatibility... At this point I'm not even sure I would understand the correct or "best" methodology if it was handed to me on a silver platter.
