I have yet to figure out how I can quickly move one window to another workspace in windows. Under mint, I just do Ctrl+Alt+Sfit+H/L to move a window to the previous or next workspace. I also have Windows+T mapped to open a terminal, which I do everything in these days.
Do you think there is a difference between remote and remote in the US?

That post is about work done remotely, nothing more nothing less. It is merely an artifact of the current implementation that some can be vastly undercompensated due to their lack of bargaining power. Or you can say it is engineered to be that way if you are less generous.

If covid makes companies transition to remote first, what advantage remains over overseas workers? Will it justify the much higher salaries? That is what makes people uneasy imo, not that they have to do standups over zoom, I don't buy that.
The answer is obviously not much, but it has been the case for quite some time. Personally I don't think this mass transition will happen this time either.
It is a similar trick Hello! Magazine uses. Allow guests to be themselves and in a positive light, with no scary surprise. The guests open up and share more about themselves and what they are up to.
I don't mean as like a privacy thing, I have no issue actually telling them where I live. I guess what I'm getting at is it feels weirdly paternal, like they feel like they're paying me to live in a certain level of comfort and they'll adjust the compensation to meet that level. Whereas I'd rather they pay me the value of the service I provide, no matter where I'm providing that service from. If there is no need to be physically in their office, then 40 hours of my time should be worth the same if I'm sat somewhere with high cost of living or somewhere with low cost of living.
No, they pay for it. They should still pay for the costs associated with that work. I'm shoving $50 a month to keep the AC when normally it would be off. They're shifting a cost to the employee otherwise.

The argument basically hinges on a claim that losing a single bit at a computation step sticks a wrench in its ability to compute.

The claim is the result of a convoluted argument that's hard to read and incomplete. Basically that a more than single bit error collapses a probabilistic computer to a complexity class that can't even multiply.

The paper is full of typos, the authors cites himself in his core argument, doesn't relate anything to realized fidelities.

It's a very minimally applicable argument to stake a far-reaching claim. Got my attention but, mostly, highlights holes in academic literature and not much else; possibly the author's intent.
Clearly words don’t have meaning to you if you’re happy to reword what they said like that. Digital piracy is not and never has been theft. No one has been deprived of their property. It’s illegal, yes, and you can argue about the ethics surrounding it all you like - but the fact remains, stealing a CD and downloading an album rip are materially different things.

Speaking of CDs: the music industry (maybe RIAA was involved, I don’t know) seems to have figured out digital content delivery. I’ve got exactly one subscription for music: Spotify. I can get all the music I want to listen to with this, more than I could ever get when I used BitTorrent (public trackers were sometimes limited, and seeding on ADSL was hard). If they were to raise the price, I’d still use it. There are issues with how artists are remunerated for their work, but the problem of distribution is basically solved. Why can’t the film industry do this?
TV/Radio is slave to the show clock and ads, where-as Rogan isn't. I don't think I've seen ads because I use ad block, but if there are, they just stop the show for a minute or so. TV producers and anchors have to plan around all that and it interrupts your attention and affects how they deliver. Pretty much everyone on TV is trained this way and used to this. Rogan would be bad if he had TV's format and ads. To say nothing of being on YouTube and being able to ignore FCC regulations compared to TV/Radio. The format is just so much nicer. Colbert doesn't even get 2 hours and he is massively successful.

As I said before Joe Rogan as a concept isn't all that new. There have been many variations of the "raw, honest, uncut" talk show host formula.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with it but it's naive to think that they just fall into hundred million dollars deals without being savvy. All of these talk show hosts very much understand their audience and what they do and don't want. And again there is nothing wrong with that.
It's nice to see someone else say this. I would much rather read than listen (or watch, as well). Perhaps it's because I can go at my own pace, and easily go back and to review something already said or connect ideas, but I just find it a struggle to stay focused on listening/watching anything for that long.
FTA, "falling with style"
My "salary" is for "for 8h per day (or 40h per week) I will be doing such and such".

The cost of my clothes (jeans/shirts/ties/etc.) as well as my daily coffee/tea/juice/lunch is for me to pay.

"Extra" stuff that I need to buy is for them to cover. E.g. a headset for calls, e.g. my professional certifications maintenance.

My home's wifi, I pay it for my use. Since I use it for work 8h per day (40h/week), one could argue that the employer should pay 40/168 of the cost (5x8/7x24).

Tbh, if there is the chance that I will be asked to go back to the office for $25 per month, I will gladly continue paying for my own wifi 100% and stay home :)
Another easy-to-remember fix: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs." Plural "dogs" adds the "s."
It would be common for large companies to simply adjust pay bands down by `150CHF * proportion of work-at-home employees` in order to keep the average cost of an employee constant. Therefore, this court decision will make a (small but nonzero) push for employees to choose to work at home.
I found his articles years ago about lucid dreaming, and also subsequently found lots of his 30-90 day experiments very interesting.

What makes him stand out in my mind is that he actually does the challenges as opposed to so many other people writing blogspam articles or whole books without the work. It got me into self-experimentation - not with any dogmas in particular, but seeing people actually doing rather crazy long experiments gave me some courage. Also he introduced me to a lot of interesting concepts.

I haven't really seen other people actually do this. The biphasic sleep experiment, and the water fast experiment were especially tough, and no one without serious discipline could do that in my mind. This was years before "fasting" became a thing.

He was also an early adopter of both the diet and sleep experimentation (that didn't really take of), lucid dreaming and all kinds of other fads i have seen become mainstream later on. So i don't think he has "no authority" or whatever, even though he maybe a freak, but i generally like freaks who are on the fringes if they do the work and can write about it.

So i thank him for for introducing me to these concepts that i have been practicing for years now, ie. fasting, having an interest in dreams and general worldview, and experimenting seriously with diet (though i eat completely differently than him).

So all in all he is very much a self-hacker - he tries stuff even though it's weird, very tough and obscure - that's a lot of points in my book. (never bought anything from him though or read any of his books).

Small off-topic rant about "science":

Also yeah when people really take a deep dive into meditation / lucid dreaming stuff just "gets weird" - so he is not that different from a lot of highly educated meditation teachers i have run across, you just gotta say "whatever" if it's not your cup of tea. Another example is Daniel Ingram who i respect but is also doing weird psychedelic stuff or have "crazy" worldviews (many more than most people think in my experience especially in the math/physics sphere).

After diving into this stuff myself i would say to my old self: reality is way, way weirder than i thought when i was young - especially when you begin to really go deep (no drugs here). I personally went from a "science is some isolated emergent property of history", to science is an extremely vague subset or evolution of certain historical developments that are all still completely traceable to weird esoteric, fuzzy, diffuse lineages or worldviews that are much more philosophical/religious in nature.

A good starting point is "The Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast" - for a very academic and rigorous introduction to why the current science-history historiographical paradigm is very wrong. Then afterwards go to a few retreats, meditate 1+ hours a day, practice Koans on science, math and philosophy and slowly see your reductionistic perspective vanish, while you actually get better at doing science and "normal everyday work".
Having worked on compilers, I can honestly say that autotools' attempts to be helpful are more often the cause of the trouble than fixing anything broken.

For example, it checks for memcpy by writing this program:

void memcpy(void);
int main() { (void)memcpy(); }

and checking if it compiles. Which is of course illegal and completely nonsensical C code that no one would ever write. It is not entirely unreasonable for a compiler to error out if it sees this code, and ince we were working on an aggressive pointer analysis for C, we did do so. Of course, since the compiler failed on this code, autoconf concluded that the system didn't have memcpy, and it helpfully provided its own implementation... which immediately crashes the build (after autoconf completes, of course) for multiple redefinitions of memcpy.

To top it all off, it appears that there has never been any system that didn't have memcpy that was capable of running any version of autoconf, let alone any software written this millennium. This check literally has no benefit, and is "complex code [added] for no reason."
This seems like a misplaced comment. Does this contribute to any discussion about the article?
The GNU tools are not fully compatible with the Windows ABI and they don't support some important Windows features. There are great reasons to use the GNU tools, like compiling unix programs that do not otherwise target Windows.

But you are swimming upstream if you use the GNU tools for general Windows development. Windows is a complex, integrated system that has evolved over a long period of time and is very different from unix-like operating systems. The peculiarities that exist in MSVC and associated tools are not just the whimsies of Microsoft devdiv engineers and product managers, but often tie in to operating system functionality. If you try to develop Windows applications with mingw, you will eventually hit weird problems and errors that simply would not exist if you used Microsoft's toolchain.

If you want an alternative to Microsoft's compiler, then consider llvm, which is aiming for full ABI compatibility and even produces PDBs (though I'm skeptical that they're as complete as the ones generated by Microsoft's tools). But the compatibility is incomplete, so ymmv.
Most isolated people on the left still believe Trump was referring to nazi's/white nationalists as "good people" when he made that "good people on both sides" comment. If they would just step out of their bubble for one moment they would realize they've been lied to. NYT articles like this are IMO designed to keep people from wanting to leave the bubble.
Several of the conservative podcasters have come out for Bernie Sanders and Yang had broad support from a lot of them as well. This isn't because they're somehow more left; it's because Bernie Sanders cut much more along anti-capitalist libertarian.

While we're not used to hearing a ton from that wing of the libertarian party in the media, they've been regaining ground in their political spaces over the last 5 years.

Outsourcing is usually done as a cost saving measure, often in the knowledge that they might be getting less than before.

The cost savings are often overestimated and many companies can't evaluate quality well in the first place.

Also outsourcing doesn't always mean remote, lots of companies hiring consultants (developers, or even teams of developers) require them to be on-site.

The problem is often the outsourced and the company doing the outsourcing have incentives which don't line up.

I've never been a Joe Rogan fan, I've only followed him in the news whenever he pops up or in some short clips that get milled around social media. So my opinion of him might be misinformed, but I've only ever gotten the impression that Rogan only ever really cares about selling a "neutral" but enticing experience. The focus isn't serious discussions or prodding the arguments of his guests, it's just about him playing the "dumb but curious everyman" as a stand in for the audience letting whoever has the most appealing mantra freely speak their mind. I think this identity as someone who just listen and doesn't question is genuine to him, but it also makes a great selling point as "politically neutral" or "both sides" speak.

Some of these ideas are genuinely worthwhile, but when those same thoughts are given even equal weight to the ravings of Alex Jones or Ben Shapiro - I don't see how anyone who is looking for intellectual rigor can derive value from consuming his podcast. If that's a good or bad thing is a value judgment someone has to make personally.
Not sure why you immediately jump to a negative take. Insurance should be independent of employers, available at reasonable cost to anyone.

It's an absurdist notion that I should be obligated to work for specific-size companies to ensure I can afford the health and welfare of my family.

> No one has been deprived of their property.

You deprived someone of the revenue generated by their property. Still theft.

If you squat in an apartment, is that theft?
I think you are doing it wrong, or you are going to the wrong bars. I sometimes get chatted up even when I am staring at my screen trying to be ignored.

Try sitting at the bar itself. Assuming you are at a social bar rather than a speed bar (i.e., one where they are slinging drinks at a mile a minute), a good bartender will talk to you a bit, and that’s often a way to get the ball rolling.

I will also add that some bars are more social than others, even though they may seem very similar on the surface. I don’t really know why, but it could be the clientele, it could be the bartenders, or it could just be that specified time/day.
He is a good listener, that is something I lookout for when listening to his shows. He can teach you a lot about how to listen and talk to people who you disagree with.

He has a lot of humility, he admits when he is wrong or if he doesn't know something. But also he is not shying away from calling BS when he hears it.

I would divide his show into 3 categories:
- his comic fiends - a casual convos with a bit insight into comedians world + tons of shit talking
- MMA + hunting guests/talks
- random invitational guest - literally random - he would talk to dem/rep candidate, dieting, book writers etc. anything that is interesting.

also he has fight companion shows for mma fights.

I listen primary to invite guest shows, occasionally to others but those get bit repetitive.

> What a fine technically correct and utterly useless distinction

It's not a useless distinction though. One can argue that stealing is bad because when I steal your car, you don't have access to your car anymore. If I were to copy your car I wouldn't harm you.

That doesn't mean it's okay to illegally copy something, but comparing it to theft is unhelpful at best and misleading at worst.

In remember seeing this exact document five years ago and being completely overwhelmed.

Now, looking at this, all of these features make sense to me, but I'm far from using all of them. Agree it's more of a kitchensink reference.
Creationism is not a fringe idea! I think that illustrates the major flaw of your mindset. If you screen off entire categories of ideas as not worth thinking about, you're going to get a systematically incorrect view of the world.
When I ran a company in the UK and worked from home I claimed various expenses: 100% of the cost of computers, desk, chair, printer and that sort of thing. And a proportion of the cost of electricity, rent etc which was calculated based on the size of the room I used as an office compared to the rest of the house (I don't remember the exact number but it might have been 10-15%). As far as I'm aware this is all completely legal and normal.

Now, as an employee and still working from home, my company buys me a laptop and a development desktop machine, and I guess they'd probably help with the cost of a chair if I didn't already have one.

Compared to the cost of enlarging the London office if everyone who currently works from home had to work from the office (not to mention the lost productivity), these expenses are trivial.
Separation of healthcare and employers also removes a huge barrier to entrepreneurship.

The entire notion of employer-provided healthcare is one of the reasons the US scores so low on economic freedom studies.
After taxes and rent, "everything else" is fairly insignificant in practice, even though both cities are very expensive.

Also I would be careful about numbers from Numbeo, I certainly don't pay $50/kg for beef.
I guess this is subjective, but I've never found Slack (or IRC, or Discord, Hipchat, etc) to somehow encourage @mention overuse/abuse.

I just don't see it. Perhaps more to the point, I can't really fathom a communication medium that somehow wouldn't allow an overzealous or inconsiderate person to become a distraction. Unless that system made communication super onerous in the first place.

Perhaps somebody could write a Slack plugin that limits a person to a certain number of @mentions per week, with the option to "purchase" more by contributing money to the company party fund or something :-)

It's not as toxic as say alcohol, and you'll be hard-pressed to overdose on coffee itself, but caffeine toxicity is a thing:

> In 2016, 3702 caffeine related exposure were reported to Poison Control Centers in the United States, of which 846 required an hospitalization and 16 with a major outcome, and several caffeine-related deaths are reported in case studies. The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on individual sensitivity, but is estimated to be 150–200 milligrams per kilogram (2.2 lb) of body mass (75–100 cups of coffee for a 70 kg (150 lb) adult). There are cases where doses as low as 57 milligrams per kilogram have been fatal. A number of fatalities have been caused by overdoses of readily available powdered caffeine supplements, for which the estimated lethal amount is less than a tablespoon. The lethal dose is lower in individuals whose ability to metabolize caffeine is impaired due to genetics or chronic liver disease. A death was reported in a man with liver cirrhosis who overdosed on caffeinated mints.

This sort of resonates with me.

I use emacs extensively, but I started using omnifocus years ago and that is what I still use. The features for me are: just about perfect sync across devices. self-hosted data. enough sorting and prioritizing features.

But I will say around ios 7 timeframe they drank the apple Koolaid and changed just about everything in the app - and most were meaningless look-and-feel changes. Just about everything else in the app was negatively impacted.

to think of putting my data - the data I run my life with - into something that will only ever improve over time is very compelling.
Addendum: I'm seeing a common theme in the responses.

When there's a coordination problem, but the equilibria state is unsustainable (such as overfishing) or lower-value (imagine competing electric grids with different voltages and frequencies), then government regulation can be useful by either imposing unilateral costs, and/or by defining a common standard.

There is the issue of avoiding regulatory capture, but I suppose that's for another time. :)
Isn't that lifestyle its own addiction?

Maybe we shoud distinguish and not conflate some things.

1. Addiction (self-reinforing habit with negative outcomes)
2. Addictive activity (self-reinforcing habit)
3. Engauging in an activity known to become addictive selectively. (Aka; adults drinking)

We use all 3 interchangably, when the dangers, and outcomes, are very different.
Yes but I use MS Excel features like pivot tables and MS Word graphics features like drawing arrows as overlays on top of screenshots to annotate them.

The other limitation of out-of-the-box Org Mode "plain text" architecture is that it limits collaboration of letting other users edit my file because fine-grain locking is not as straightforward as with a db file like SQLite. My "master todo list" is easier to manage if I can let my significant other can enter items for me instead of me doing all the manual data entry myself.

I do understand that since Emacs has Lisp, it can ultimately do anything if you really want to customize/extend/research it.

Try to not think in terms of whole applications. Chrome already has threads/processes dedicated to executing untrusted JavaScript code. What seems to be lacking is providing developers with an easy and non-root mechanism to run these as a different UID. To isolate the whole app should be possible, yes -- but it's also a sledgehammer.

Yes, for the reason you describe, inter-operability with your own UID is actually good. My previous job taught me just how much this can be a feature not a bug; we made extensive use of applications, plugins and various forms of IPC to allow desktop applications to inter-operate in powerful ways.

There are other mechanism already exist. When a process (or thread) is forked, various resources can be passed over the boundary; file descriptors, shared memory etc.. For example, where un-trusted code needs access to a file, the mechanism to do that is already there in a nice "opt-in" manner.
