I've heard this said about cats, that cats view humans strictly as food dispensers. But I've personally seen cats develop separation anxiety when they thought their humans weren't around -- and then settle right down as soon as a familiar human come into view. To a cat, humans provide some manner of physical and emotional security as well, to say nothing of affection.

It's the same with any healthy human relationship. Can you imagine how sad it would be to make extraordinary efforts for a person who did absolutely nothing for you? We reward those who provide us something of value -- security, affection, a sympathetic ear -- with our sacrifices.
Most of the time, but with exceptions.

For example, for engineers in many big tech companies, pay vs COL in London is not very attractive.
Tips to Implement and Increase Member Engagement
AskOuija? I appreciate your take on moderation. I think what happened on WorldPolitics with IAmanAnonymousCoward shows that at least a small bit of work is needed to keep things on topic, but overall I think free speech and self-moderation is better.

What seems unacceptable for moderators to do, which seems to happen a lot, is banning users from multiple subreddits due to comments or behavior in a different subreddit. That's really a power trip and it sounds like something that a lot of moderators on 'the list' have done.
Similar to other people on Twitter and Shopify’s announcement thread, I think this might be an excuse for corporations to reduce their commercial footprint and save money by opening applicant pools to larger areas of the country with cheaper CoL (and perhaps the world, different time zones are tough though).

What about work visas? Will this encourage more visas, or will citizens become unsettled after more cost effective labor is remotely hired while they’re left competing against far cheaper world economies. I can see arguments for both expanding H1B program, and making it more difficult/selective.

Something about this doesn’t feel right, the pandemic isn’t nearly as bad as was predicted. It’s been devastating, but nothing like 1918. That is to say, perhaps these drastic actions of mass WFH will have implications we can’t predict yet, especially at scale.

Will cities become less congested? How about home life, if WFH becomes standard in 5 years time, and some positions that are easily remote are hard to find physically, will home life become disrupted? (Currently domestic violence, child abuse has soared, though this is most likely due to the stress of the pandemic, and not the WFH itself. Through school, work, etc tends to allow those at risk to form social networks, and reach out for help from their abusers.)

There is something to say about spending time away from immediate family. Some people need the break, others are synergetic and can spend all their time together. Depends on the persons involved. But let’s not celebrate just yet, there’s obvious economic incentives, and it isn’t clear this can be reliably reversed. We’re rarely given the full list of motives, which may not be in our best interest.
Indeed, I appreciate the (intentional?) parallel to reality, but that doesn't necessarily make for a fun game. :)
We're exploring outsourcing again
To address your comment about wfo... it works since it’s been the default way that people have worked since the industrial revolution. As such we have institutional collective knowledge and culture on how to make it work. The blog posts about making wfh work are going against a couple of centuries of knowledge, which is why you see the difference.

But to address a finer point: there is still a lot of activity about open vs closed plan etc. So wfo is not a fully solved problem either!

Mv can be replaced with the rename syscall and the lack of versatility of shell is still demonstrated. Point taken though, pre packaged selection of utilities is arbitrary.
After death, isn't consent (in terms of donation-to-the-state) the default? If I buy a house and then die without having written a will ("opting out"), the government can indeed take it.

By reducing number of apartments from 18 to 10 - I assume that by this time the garage had already been built so downsizing it was not possible.

Also, I've just noticed: why on earth would they build affordable housing next to the beach? Is this some twisted take on equality, that poor people also deserve view at the ocean? If "affordable housing" competes for the same land as luxury residences it will end up just as expensive.
It actually works quite the opposite. You will be way better off financially moving from the SF/Seattle/NYC than to. The wage adjustments just don't come near handling the extra expenses.

Not sure what you're using - rust-analyzer does support format-on-save (in fact it's actually a VS Code built-in, rust-analyzer just exposes a formatter for Rust files that then gets used by the built-in format-on-save feature)

Also compared to RLS it works much better on code with errors in, at least in my experience.

This is a bad take. SF didn't have any tech industry before the last decade, and yet still had the second highest population density. Majority of people live in SF and Bay Area, because they want to live there
Yes, my handwavy reading of the situation was that he left due to issues with zeromq that he couldn't/wasn't allowed 'fix'. Then Peter Hintjens unfortunately died a few years back. I haven't heard about nng, so thanks for that, I'll check it out.

ZeroMQ certainly isn't perfect, for example there's no way to tell if a message was successfully written to a PUB socket, or if it was dropped (just one minor issue)

That's a good point, but on the other hand, who wrote the languages? Is it possible for a human to write a language which another human can use and create no bugs?

In either case - unsafe language and safe implementation, safe language and unsafe implementation - there is the possibility for bugs, and definitely security ones. Just because you can't cause integer overflow doesn't mean you can't exfiltrate petabytes of data.

I think the major security consideration should be a comprehensive review of the entire system. Regardless of the language or implementation, a regular architectural and non-functional review of all the components in a systematic way is going to provide more security gains than any other single thing. Maybe we should be focusing less on the tools we use and more on improving that workflow.

China growing in power is incompatible with a free world. At some point we have to push back somehow. Taking HK and recognizing it as an independent nation would be a good start.

The economy used to be dependent on slave labor. The bandaid had to be ripped off at some point because it was wrong and the economy adjusted. The same has to be done for relations with the organ harvesting totalitarian gorilla in the room that we could all overpower if we came together.

An application usually has one connection, and many channels. Our pattern is to dedicate one channel for all publishing and then N channels mapped to consumer threads.

You don't have to pool connections as channels are multiplexed by them.

Things to watch out for:

- opening too many channels - these map to Erlang processes and can overwhelm your server if you go over ulimits
- sharing consumer channels between threads - you might see weird behavior (e.g. acking wrong messages etc)

We've built own library/framework for creating resilient consumers, and it enforces mapping 1:1 channels and consumer threads, as well as automatic reconnections and channel clean ups.
They have other issues, don't they? The flags you're complaining about are clearly marked experimental.
In case you are wondering what it was, after several clicks I found this:

A modern cloud-native, stream-native, analytics database

Druid is designed for workflows where fast queries and ingest really matter. Druid excels at instant data visibility, ad-hoc queries, operational analytics, and handling high concurrency. Consider Druid as an open source alternative to data warehouses for a variety of use cases.
The U.S. gets over its problems and becomes a better place.

Slavery? -> Civil War, slavery over.

Jim Crow laws? -> Civil Rights protests, the Supreme Court finally realizes what the Constitution really says, and Jim Crow is over.

Prohibition causes gangsterism and mafia? -> the whole country did not get corrupted by it, and eventually the mafia got taken down.

And so on. Maybe not every problem, but there's a lot of big problems that have been overcome. And all the while not falling into various traps. For example, the Great Depression led to the Nazis getting into power in Germany, and Latin America was quite marked by the economic disaster that was the Great Depression, but the U.S. failed to get a Hitler or Perón -- that's huge.

This is made possible by a number of things, some of which are ideas, and some of which are accidents:

- geography
- luck: having brilliant founders!
- a brilliant Constitution that splits power not
just three ways, but also over N States (currently 50)
- mutual distrust in the early days of the nation
- a British background and fresh memories of the
British civil war

This means that freedom -yes, freedom- has been available to many, and eventually to most/all Americans. The original ideas were made too aspirational by the stain of slavery, yes, but in the end it all worked out decently enough, even if it took time to get there.

This surveillance-state thing? Who knows, we may not overcome it. Or maybe we will. But are there large countries you'd bet will do better at getting over their problems? China? Brazil? Russia? Really, compare to other countries.
Please substantiate your post with evidence.

No? OK, then.

Major airlines have huge chunks of the IT system outsourced to cloud services for longer than the term grid computing existed. Which isn't that surprising when you consider that Cloud is literally the old mainframe model.

The issues you've heard are often related to intersection points between different systems handling different areas, for example the main passenger-handling system is usually outsourced to Amadeus (especially in EU it seems) or Sabre, then you might have onboarding software that can sometimes introduce you to mainframes most people never heard of (I know that at least one airline used Unisys). Some have in-house components that integrate with the rest. There's integration with airport baggage handling. There's plane monitoring and maintenance (which might include "cloud" services from vendors of the plane and separately of the engine), etc. etc.

Some of those systems are very new - KLM/AF have recently made a large enough development on z/TPF that they call it actually a new system. I know that I was VERY impressed with how fast a trained clerk worked using it, getting me a new flight after volcano grounded everyone, adding frequent flyer program etc. along the way. You know all those stories about expert ViM users? A typical trained user of one of those systems is at least as fast as them.

Quite often, the finger for failures is pointed (often for good reason) at outsourcing companies. Interestingly, it tends to not be Amadeus or Sabre that are pointed at, but well known companies like TCS, Wipro, Infosys...
>There current moderation system (whoever started the reddit, and whoever they blessed, get to be moderators; sortof like a monarchy and a feudal system) is horribly out of date in today's world.

This is the worst part for me, though truly unfixable in my opinion. Reddit has taken over forums for many topics, but the entire mod team is chosen by the person who thought up the name first in 2011, which hardly has the same barrier of entry as running and hosting a forum (generally you can assume someone who goes to that much effort is invested in the hobby).

>Here's how I would fix it: every year, have an election of moderators. People get votes proportional to their karma (or upvotes or some function thereof, which could heavily penalize bad posting behavior) earned since the last election. And the top N vote getters get to be moderators for a year.

We both know this wouldn't fix the /r/india issue, they would simply vote for the mods that lean the way they agree with, and since the current mod team has pushed out those who don't, it'll likely remain that way. And I also think this could even hurt many reddits, as the lowest-common-user would likely vote to allow things they really shouldn't such as meme posts (many a sub has banned this, though generally at the dismay of many of the community).

New Pixz App Looks to Share Group Photos During Coronavirus
I feel the safest way to use Reddit is to create a new account for every subreddit/community/subculture that is in any way tied to real life, and absolutely minimize the amount of information you give out in each one by keeping it relevant to that particular topic.

If you have some niche gaming/entertainment/etc interests, use an account specifically for those without ever delving into personal details.

Have a separate account for BPT, where again, you minimize sharing personal details.

If you have a hobby that has more real life interaction (for instance is location based, or is small and you use personally identifiable information), use a separate account and minimize sharing anything not related to the topics.

Obviously if reddit gets hacked/info is leaked good luck, but controlling available information about yourself seems increasingly mandatory to protect yourself from the crazies if you want to participate in online discussions.
Which would still face the same problem: the government would rather pay multiple times for crappy software at a lower price than one big bill for quality software the first time.
This is huge because Shopify is a big company and will likely get much bigger in the next few years. Most fully remote companies are small. We cannot know for sure if it will stick. I remember Yahoo telling their employees to return to the office. But looks like this time it's going to be different.
"Consider eye tracking... imagine being able to watch someone's gaze patterns as they try to understand"

Let's not? Ever? It reminds me of dystopias where a government tries to sense how really interested people are in the latest propaganda and punishes those who are too bored. Or just a small school ran as a totalitarian regime where you're not even allowed to be bored.

> It'd be awesome if we had anonymous reputation scores, like PGP or something, that other people could vouch for. Make bad actors pay to build up good reputation, then burn it down when they misbehave.

The whuffie concept relies on strong online identities. Without that, declaring bankruptcy is too easy and allows malicious actors to simultaneously harm others and boost their own scores rep with bots.
I am watching it live and the way Mark said is, "We will be basing compensation on location like we always have and still paying top of market". I think that's fair right. If you can get a better quality of life with less pay, then thats fine. It's a choice that you are free to make.
I think the original design as implied in the article was that the garage was to be a paid garage for the community and the fees from it would help to repay some of the grants to build the housing. It was not "you need 5 parking spots per unit plus 3 for building management".
> physical colocation with your coworkers is inherently easier

This isn't even remotely objective. It's amusing how people think their personal perspective is the objective one.

> Why aren't there just as many (or more) articles about making WFO

There's an ocean of WFO content on the Internet - everything from leases, to security, to feng shui. I'm willing to wager there's an order of magnitude more WFO than WFH content. And it's all about making office life work (or work better).

Believe it or not, offices are a modern invention. Just because it's been the status quo for several decades, doesn't mean it's the only way to get things done.

Screwing over worker was the status quo at one point, too.

Now, I'll grant it's only very specific corridors, but the densest parts of California do have passable mass transit. The majority of Californians don't have access to this, but the most crowded parts do.
You can look up US military projections about the feasibility of engaging in guerrilla combat against even regional armed resistance in the US. The prognosis is not good (for the military). This should be obvious to anyone who's paid attention to the relatively poorly equipped VC or Taliban.
Yup, that's the right link, but I think you've misunderstood the intention of MSC1228.

The user identity keys are not used for encryption, let alone end-to-end encryption. These are of course only ever created on clients, and never leave the clients.

Instead, this is just a proposal for how to determine what servers are allowed to host a given identity. The proposal also predates E2E - nowadays we might also sign the keys with your E2EE keys to lock the chain of trust to the client.

I get why the whole indirection from @foo:bar.com through to new public keys might also feel weird, but in practice we have that indirection today - as you resolve (say) an email address to a matrix ID. It's basically making the old matrix IDs equivalent to today's 3rd party IDs (email or phone number or whatever).

So yup, understood that it smells funny, but I think the concerns aren't entirely well-founded here. That said, the proposal is ~2 years old, and we'll be dusting it off and sorting it out in the coming months in order to support P2P and speed up room joins, and that might be the point where we tie it into E2EE keys (or not).
Not sure what you mean, this isn't outsourcing. This is remote first...two different things. In outsourcing the development is done by an entity which doesn't belong to you, that's a different thing.
I took "the next stage" to mean stages in the cycles of empires (ie towards decay+collapse), not to say the CCP is a positive evolutionary step in governments.

Apple does seem to genuinely care about people with disabilities, but the old, not so much. There are so many assumptions baked into phone OSes that make no sense unless you already know about the conventions. I tried her on Android for a while, which was much worse.
You think this was an engineering decision? These failing systems were probably contracted to a politically connected company that subcontracted to lowest bidder. Not only that, but that usually these systems were created with COBOL means that it was likely created a very long time ago and minimally updated as laws/requirements changed to be compliant but thats it.

Thats not the fault of the engineer(s). A surge in traffic in the 80s or whenever it was initially created very well may have been able to be handled as designed and its normal traffic in modern pre-COVID times was the equivalent of a constant "surge" when initially designed. It was already on life support and needed a rewrite 10 years ago. Some software engineering certification/quality board wouldn't account for 30 year old systems design and population. Those are political and budget/prioritization issues. It would be a near equivalent of a bridge that was built then ignored for 50 years collapsing when a modern 18 wheeler drives over it.

All the new systems getting spun up ASAP are just quick hacks to try and get some way of addressing the problem. They are bound to be full of failures by the nature of the rapid development cycle and current crisis. In a situation like this, a quality board like proposed would be granting exceptions left and right because theoretically, something is better than nothing.
That's not the point. Why would I pay Bay Area salaries for someone living in bumfuck Iowa? It's all about supply and demand.
I think the libertarians are worried that their next door neighbor will drag in a trailer. Ideals are one thing, property values are another.

Around here we have a lot of open space advocates that don't want any development (even though we are losing population and in a generation won't be able to fund our schools). I've often wanted to ask one of those folks (normally older with a nice older home) if they are so invested in open space why don't they knock down their house?
No, that is not how the timeline went. As to who created the panic - it was Neil, Fauci and their ilk along with the media. The media, instead of reporting that the data shows old and sick people are the ones dying chose to hide that relevant fact and just report the death toll ad nauseam with no context - as a matter of fact they are still doing it.
Well the coronavirus really does bring out the worse part of Reddit. If your article at all suggested that cases are decreasing/it's not going to lead to the end of the world, that sub is going to attack you.
