I enjoy Joe Rogan's podcast, but I'm not going to start using Spotify just to listen to his podcasts. Hell Spotify isn't even available in my country. I'm sure the episodes will leak out elsewhere, and if I run into them I'll listen. If Spotify really goes hard on the copyright striking and I don't see the podcasts anymore, well then I guess I'll miss out.
I definitely share with you the view that Slack is a poor substitute for proper documentation and company communication. To me it just feels like that any project that is managed via Slack transplants the dynamic of open-floor offices to your computer and mobile phone. Yes, it is easy to gather everyone and share quick updates, but only in a fast-food kind of way.

One big change that I got with my team to do successfully in a company was to change the attitude regarding communication and documentation on Slack.

It involved one single, simple rule: whenever you want to ask anything you need to do your work on Slack, phrase it a way that relates to the Wiki/Knowledge Base.

In our case it was Confluence. So, instead of getting questions on channels such as "How do I do X?", we would ask "Can someone point me to the Confluence page that explains how to do X?". Instead of asking someone to send a file or spreadsheet with data that I needed, I would ask them to revise and update the Confluence page, and so on. That would apply even for meetings that were held. If someone missed a meeting and wanted a re-cap, it was easy to point to the page with the minutes of the meeting, and so on.

In the beginning we did have to prod and nag some of the colleagues so they would drop old habits, but after a couple of weeks when the majority understood that Wikis are meant to be editable freely it was working really well. There were no longer huge threads on Slack and there was no more stress about missing anything that happened on Slack. It did help (a lot) that we had the support from upper management in implementing this, as they were the ones worried the most about losing communication scattered in a million threads and channels.

i do.

nevertheless this debate is quite pointless
Is it possible to configure uMatrix so it either blocks WebRTC completely or asks when a page tries to use it?
It's clear what they meant to say, but that doesn't make it correct. Just because someone can understand me when I'm speaking broken Russian doesn't mean my grammar is suddenly good.
This hinges on that companies and people have a positive net benefit for each person that will exceed the amount taxed. Working from home eliminates transportation costs and time and for companies the need to buy real estate for people and all of the equipment.
I completely disagree. The new tools (bubble, zapier, airtable, webflow etc.) are an order of magnitude easier to create applications (and even relatively complex ones!)
Whoa. Spooky. I wonder if this works with a text spoiler also.
No, you can use :has rules to remove the entire result.

Edit: or you can use upward().
Personally, for me it's because he gets big names on his shows and, much like on Stern, they like to open up, and unlike other hosts of other shows in different media, Joe is not trying to outshine them either intentionally or with annoying idiosyncrasies.

Take Jimmy Fallon for example. Can't watch 1 minute of that guy without wanting to smash my TV. His incessant laughing, at everything the guest says whether it really is funny or not is insufferable.

I don't know if Jimmy is fake laughing or not, but the net result, is that the show's flow is constantly interrupted by that cackle. Also, Jimmy is kind of a sycophant. Afraid to disagree or challenge and opinion. It makes for a boring show.

Then you got other hosts like Kimmel and/or Colbert who are trying to be super political which is obnoxious.

Then you've got people like James Corden who are, again, not comfortable shutting up but need, instead, need the center of attention along with the guest and instead of having real conversations, they need to do segments that are essentially games like the carpool karaoke.

I know it's different formats but it's an example how certain hosts drown out the guest whether intentionally or not.

The appeal of Joe's podcast is in the conversations and the minutiae of those conversations, and even when the guest, isn't necessarily interesting at first, if they converse long enough they're bound to go into an interesting topic.

Also, I don't necessarily agree with Joe's politics or other opinions but I always enjoy his podcasts mainly cause he's a good conduit for his guests to open up and start waxing about whatever they normally wouldn't on other shows.

Also, let's not forget, Joey Diaz. So many classic moments with Joey and Joe.
Facebook Executive on the Future of Remote Work
Yet CMake is much better and comes with support for installers (Deb/rpm/MSI/DMG), which is a killer feature.

And now it's even better to couple it with Conan for dependency management
Don't get it mistaken. Spotify hate all of their users, not just the Apple crowd. They tinker with their app too much, and with seemingly little value.

Yep, I'm still pissed about removing long press to preview
I disagree with his "start from the technology," standpoint, since that view is what enables the hall of mirrors effect in security, where vulnerabilities and risks exist in a vacuum, and you get drawn into the rabbit hole of compliance.

If you have developers who, by design, have no idea about the value or meaning of the data they are processing, or the business they are supporting, then empty compliance rituals are fine, GIGO applies. But, if you can use threat modelling to bring your developers into the fold of why they are developing a given feature and what makes it valuable, it makes better developers while ensuring they build security features into their work. The direction of this is business side inward, not technology outward as the author seems to recommend.

The threat model is the counter-case of your business model, that is, when a factor fails. Having developers absorb the latest in vulnerability research and threat intelligence is not useful when you can just tell them, "I need you to make sure that a competitor's sales engineer can't pull this apart and humiliate us in a bake off," or, "given we're in payments, we've got both compliance hurdles and significant criminal threats."

There is more value in educating product owners and product managers about how to identify and mitigate the counter-cases for their products' business models than externalizing risk by foisting it on developers who are neither equipped to handle it nor cognizant of it. In a product I developed, I defined threat scenarios as feature level Epics that developers use their skills to build for because people tend to know their own business needs and how it fails better than a corporate security group ever will.

Startups typically don't need security outside of the bare minimum of compliance rituals because growth really does solve everything, see Zoom as an excellent example of this. I'm even having trouble recalling a startup that was killed by a security breach.

Security is a product level problem. Start with the thing people want, ask what facilitates them getting it, and then as what happens when parts of that fail. IMO, this will solve %95 of security issues out of the gate.
You are right.

Our legal system is a bit different than in the US as we don't have US style case law though (not a lawyer so don't ask me for more details).

It was brought up again due to the current situation re home office and adds to the discussion in the country as well as elsewhere i think and is likely to be challenged now by employees with their respective employers.
No, just regular uBlock Origin, using cosmetic filters.
Are you building a vulnerable tool? – Introduction to shlex module
I read of bunch of his blog posts ten years ago and while there was some interesting content, there was also really weird and dangerous shit. For instance the series his one (or 3?) month experiment on polyphasic sleep[1] or his month eating only vegetable smoothies, which can have serious health consequences. Then he shifted to the edgy polyamory stuff and I quit.

Note that I tried the polyphasic sleep for a week or so and I suspect SP romanticized the things a bit in his blog posts. Like down putting the bad aspects, hyping the good ones in order to market the thing (thus himself). It was an interesting series, but this kind of material should be contextualized and display along with warnings.

Finally, once you get a few key ideas (mainly that you need to do things to get results), spending time reading personal development stuff is wasting time. Every blog, post, book just retold a few identical ideas.

Or just start a rich environment, like a browser, or excel. Interface-wise there are many things that emacs can't do. Feature-wise there is even more missing because of lacking manpower.

But that's okay. Every job it's right tool.
Here were my "sunk costs" of org-mode.

1) org-mode makes a bad spreadsheet

2) No good Android interface, Orgzly is OK, but doesn't do advanced features and often crashed for me.

3) Despite lots of trying, I couldn't get "into" using the Emacs shortcut keys, which are different to every other application on Windows.

4) I like variable width fonts, and variable width fonts don't seem to work with various bits of org mode (for example tables)

I'm sure you love org-mode, and that's great, but plenty of people over the years have tried and failed to love emacs, and lost a whole lot of time in the process.
If it's clear what you're saying, then it is okay to say it. Nobody said anything about formal correctness until now.
I mean it's all relative I guess. Bernie Sanders was by far the most progressive U.S. presidential candidate in this election, so that would put Rogan's "progressiveness" in the country's minority.

Anyways I think this is a stupid argument. My point wasn't to debate his progressiveness, just to point out how absurd it is to call a Bernie Sanders supporter "conservative".
Facebook to Broaden Remote Workforce Due to Covid-19
Alex Jones is a great example. Who let's Jones rave on for 3 hours? No one. Broadcasters are not going to want to be associated with him. Rogan just lets him go. I disagree with 95% of what Jones says but I'm not going to take anyone's word for it. I watch the 3 hours and then conclude on my own Jones is nuts. Free speech isn't just lip service on that show and kudos for that cause it's rare.

Bonus for Rogan is controversy/media coverage which attracts viewers. Rogan is savvy about the media and Internet.
Lots of things are celebrated in the media that are not quite true. While in some areas, on some days, renewables are outpacing polluters, their power peaks and wanes at different rates than demand. Coal is still the baseload energy generator, and will be required until massive energy storage is achieved, or we build more fusion/fission plants. With the exception of hydro, most 'renewable' generation stratigies come with temporal issues (wind, sun, tide, etc).

But nobody wants to think about the fact their teslas are runnig on coal, and we assume some random article we saw on renewables outpacing coal are the truth. It is not.

Or just hire people from low cost of living areas.

Depending on the location, they could just let you go.
Imagine moving from Idaho to NYC. Drastic increase in cost. If an employer needs to compensate for that, I'm pretty sure theyll think long and hard whether its worth it.
My biggest problem with gcc for Windows is that libstdc++ does not support threads. There is a workaround with a pthread compatibility layer but that is just horrible and awful. I can't bring myself to do that.

This has been an open issue for literally years now. But apparently nobody cares enough to fix it.
I certainly buy a lot of them. They keep breaking.

I don't get the appeal either. Joe Rogan is the personified midwit, he manages to make conversations with even the most interesting guests dumb and bland.
Facebook could have 50% of staff on remote work by 2030
I consulted (from the UK) with a major US bank, placed in a team that was largely based in India. The employees there were uniformly excellent, and their pay (and turnover rate) reflected that. The bank certainly hadn't opened that office to save money; I suspect they were paid more than I (as an employee of an outsourcing consultancy) was.
Newspaper headlines ought to be formally correct.
I grew up in Melbourne and thought about moving back, but yeah the housing prices are out of control. And can't earn much in tech there compared to US.

What don't you like about Melbourne? I feel it is usually over-hyped.

I'm more ok with this than google launching a sensored search engine. I see games as a platform for communication and creativity. As seen with animal crossing, people will use every means to communicate.

Actually org mode can do all of those things:

* Recalculate formulas a la excel: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-spreadsheet-intro...

* Actually you can go way further than cloning basic excel functionality. For example, you can write inline code to generate or retrieve some data, feed that into a graphing program, and then inline the resulting chart back into the org file. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html

Fascinating. It seems like the British people thirst helped China rise.
idk but wager to say there are maybe a couple of thousand OC machines worldwide. not really "large numbers".

on other fronts i rekon that other infrastructure manufacturers are big on BSD (eg. dell/emc, juniper)
I haven't started using NestJS yet but am very impressed with the documentation. Here is it introducing its Websocket and GraphQL support: https://docs.nestjs.com/websockets/gateways https://docs.nestjs.com/graphql/quick-start
I hope your German is up to scratch :) [1]

Basically: It's based on a consumer price index with the starting point of May 2000 (100%) and which is published every few years.

A landlord can apply a maximum of 40% of the index increase in rent-increase, since the last time rent was adjusted. This is based on his equity investment into the object.

Does this make sense?

I think Fridman is very smart, but he needs to prepare for his interviews a bit better and/or edit them.

Too often he can't quite put the question he wants to ask into words, and if he prepared slightly better it would improve the podcast a lot.
AOC wasn't running for president. Bernie Sanders was THE most progressive candidate running for U.S. president in 2020. I mean he identified himself as a socialist.
hasn't been my experience for several years now. pretty much everything on linux works out of the box.

i spend more time configuring windows than linux.

turning off annoying sounds. installing an app to get 4! virtual desktops. (linux (and mac) have unlimited desktops)

searching and installing essential applications and tools is annoying on both windows and mac, whereas on linux it's a trivial operation.
But that’s also sad, that the amount of a signed contract is what makes someone worth emulating today. Beyond sad: it’s tragic. The world is full of all kinds of people who happen to make money. That shouldn’t make them all models.
It makes sense when you consider that before Spotify, he/his team were having to chase down that money with no guarantee, subject to the whims of sponsors and audience and YouTube.

Now the money is guaranteed and they can just focus on the content in the show. Sounds like an amazing deal.
This. Especially if you have young children grandparents are worth their weight in gold.
Sure, and so did the supply of remote jobs.
Doesn't every pleasurable thing you do trigger your brain in this way? There has to be a gray area in between ascetic and addict.
From what I've read it's not available by default and you need to run some commands (which seem to be hard to google). And that solves only part of the problem, the article had other examples that may be harder to solve. It seems like, if your internet connection is not great, then you're going to have a bad experience.
He didn't quite do that, but even if he did that wouldn't matter. He's a slightly left of center in a global sense, anymore than it'd make sense to call Biden "the progressive" candidate.
Employers can reimburse employees for home office costs provided they meet the existing definitions of home office and proper, regular accounting is done. That money is not considered taxable income to the employee.

However, an upfront flat "reimbursement" would probably be considered a taxable fringe benefit.
I think the link title needs a (2017) based on the publication date of this blog post.
As the author of a no code tool I disagree with this article. I think that we will need even more developers to manage the apps churned out by no code tools. Tools may go up the abstraction later, but developers will always need to debug ALL layers of the abstraction layer
> This is rather un-motivational to those of us actively stopping the spread by staying home.

Newsflash - staying inside is unhealthy and spread of the virus is more likely indoors. Using a mask and practicing social distancing outside is in fact healthy and low-risk.
My team picked up NestJS as we've moved from Spring Boot/Java to Node Lambdas. The ability to use CDK + NestJS to deploy a single Lambda to handle a few endpoints is amazing. NestJS allows us to write code more in the Clean Architecture style without it becoming really heavy like we see with Spring. I've enjoyed it so much that I might use it for my person projects too (leaning towards Dart for one language across the stack).
> - This eliminates a big chunk of fixed costs... as most are shifted to the employees.

Signal apparently has a co-working space subsidy for remote employees which I think is a great idea.
Not at all. So boring compared to NYC
With support of today's API's/datasets , you could build more complex apps with similar levels of effort.
I'm not sure whether you care, but that page you linked to about form validation contains JS for some of the more advanced features someone might want to implement. Even then I'd say that it's wrong to think of input as "invalid" before I've started editing the field (unless of course I tried to submit it already), which is what this standard apparently does. I'm already annoyed with forms that mark a field as invalid because it's required the moment I focus on it, that would be much more annoying if several fields further down were also marked as invalid.

Your reaction will probably be that I'm missing the point, that if we went with a JS-less world there would be solutions for this. But I strongly suspect that the solution would be to not use HTML and instead use some other technology that was capable of general computation on the client.
Yes, good point, I was assuming definition (1).
He his making a reference to a book published some times ago that was accusing a few french oligarch (which include Xavier Niel) to have basically put E. Macron in the Elysée. This book, that was also published around the time of the gilet jaune if I remember, made a lot of polemic, especially since his author is quite controversial and can be very vitriolic.

A big issue with the book was that, even though some claim look legitimate and really not surprising for any French people (Macron being helped by a few powerful people was no surprise, he came out of nowhere and had suddenly more press coverage than any other candidate), it was also making a lot of heavy, and sometimes weird, accusation about some people, one of them being X. Niel, with nothing to back them up.

It also didn't help that the author was writing in a way that really looked like he was settling some scores with people instead of actually doing a journalistic investigation (he seemed to especially bare some hatred toward X. Niel). It helped even less that he started beef with anyone criticizing his book, especially respected journalist and news outlet.

The Dreaded ‘R’s: Refactor, Re-write, Re-build [video]
So you're suggesting we let people be misinformed? Where do you draw the line? Do we let our teachers teach the earth is both flat and round and "let the students decide"? The earth is the center of the universe and just a part of the milky way? The holocaust happened and didn't happen?

You can't possibly expect people to make rational decisions about science they don't understand. And letting people straight up LIE and expect the common man to spend hours researching a topic they probably don't even understand to figure out they're being lied to is RIDICULOUS. There's a reason why we have ethics in journalism...

Author here, I did gloss over PCPs certainly, and agree that SNARKs also use PCPs and I might have made the terrible conclusion about proof sizes.
Will push an update soon ! thanks for taking the time.
Super underrated comment. What's even worse is that, internally, large companies have small groups that create bespoke solutions and then try to sell those solutions to the rest of the company. I've seen so many "final frameworks" that are going to solve all of the problems that are then sold to all of the other groups, who try to move their stuff onto that framework, but wait now Team X has another framework and oh man which one should we follow? It's just a new version of the fundamental problem of getting diverse human groups with diverse needs to standardize on some solution, with all of the economic incentives you described mixed in. Frankly I think the people who got this problem closest to right were the American Founding Fathers. This is fundamentally a political problem. The best technical solution I've seen proposed is in the talk "Architecture Without an End State," where the speaker talks about how to make smart decisions in a decentralized environment.
Which feature of this new CRM really excites you?
I love NestJS. With backend specifically I always recommend the more barebones frameworks like Koa and Express to beginners so they can learn how all the moving pieces interact with each other. But once you already know that, it's so nice to use a framework that only needs you to tell it what to do (as opposed to how, like in Express). I use it for all my pet projects in node now :)
Besides, Org is not complicated. It has lots of features, but at its core it's just a plain text outliner with hyperlinks, keywords and timestamps.

Org is like Common Lisp in many ways. It offers you lots of paradigms to build your own workflows, but you don't need to use or understand them initially.

An it might suffer from the same PR problem Emacs has. Manuals, tutorials and guides throw all features at once without focussing on core concepts first. And it's overwhelming for newcomers.
