At least here in NL the Works Council is mandatory _By law_ if you have more than 50 employees. I suppose the laws in Germany are similar. and I also suppose N26 has more than 50 employeees ;)

A healthy organization should have one, in my opinion. Management being against it is an unhealthy sign.

Just so you have some context. a Works Council has the following rights:

Right to discuss: they will have a bi-yearly meeting with the employer, who will report to the employees the financial situation of the company

Right to give advise: (This is the one startups find scary). When a company wants to do an investment round or any action that has economical or organisational impact, they _must_ ask for advice from the Works Council. The employer _must_ take their advice into account. If he does not, there is a cool-down period of a month before the decisions comes into place. Within that month the employees can take the employer to court in Amsterdam to block the action. This basically means employees have the right to block investment rounds through court. The burden of proof is on the employee that this is not in interest of the company.

Right to vote: The WC has the right to vote on certain decisions regarding reduction of working hours or work conditions. Here the onus is turned around compared to the right to advise. The WC makes the decision, and the _employer_ has the right to countersue. This basically means the employees have the right to force the employer to court if they want to do a firing round. The employer's task is to prove in court that the firing round is needed by law.

Presumably changes in perspective would ruin everything—though I don't know if panorama software today does any Blade Runner-ish magic to correct that.

You can sometimes see changes in the perspective on satellite maps, when parts of a building are taken from different fly-bys. Doesn't look too neat.
You can find here https://arxiv.org/abs/1110.1556 infamous "Jewish Problems" that were given to select applicants during entrance exams to the math department of Moscow State University. They were designed to prevent Jews from getting a passing grade.
Count me among them. It comes across as pretty clumsy.

The book addresses the distinction between the two, at first briefly with The terms "open source software" and "free software" are essentially synonymous in this context, and later in some depth. [0] It's not as if the author is ignorant. Perhaps they felt Producing Free and Open Source Software was just too long.

Imagine putting all of science on a common (diagrammatic) footing, implemented down to the level of types so you can immediately perform calculations...mouthwatering.
In all honesty, I had to forcibly remove Factorio from my computer because it was too much of a productivity drain.

I think I averaged like 60 hours a week.
I bought a boat and made the driving license right when the lockdown started in March. Put solar panels up, big batteries and a 4G hotspot. Been living on the boat ever since. Best decision ever.
Wow, that's not very nice to read as someone neurodivergent (in my case Autism). I'll use ND further on since it's pretty long to re-read.

ND people are all very different, with their own strengths and needs. A lot of it can be environment based, autistic people struggle very commonly with environmental overstimulation.

Moving from an open place office to my own living room seems to have freed up about 30 IQ points previously dedicated to constantly scanning a busy room for threats, I'm suddenly more productive. My neurodivergency did not change, if I appeared incompetant before I suddenly appear far more competant now.

For all practical purposes, what's the difference between "pain fatigue" and being stupid? "dyslexia" and incompetance? "receiving chemo" and laziness?
I took your comment as a chance to share my thoughts on it.

> will we end up in a situation where both views are considered equally legitimate even if they are conflicting?

I personally can't see the standpoints being equally legitimate due to my above problems with it. But for the general population? I think that both can be legitimate in their eyes.
Ooh, I found 100ish hours of enjoyment over two weeks or so. Good thing I lost interest after I launched the rocket (the endgame), otherwise my productivity would have been gone forever.
> It's like saying I bought a petrol car but I should have a legal right to fill it up with Diesel or make it work with electricity.

It's not, no. It's like buying a petrol car and being limited to using BP to fill it up, and not being able to use Q8, or Shell, or whatever.

No one buys Apple/iOS and expects it to run Windows (although arguably you can, and you should be able to, if you weren't locked-in)
I can't view the Japanese link but the French article mentions nothing about connecting to the internet, or "WI-FI". Wouldn't a ship have satellite internet?
Would be nice to get some benchmarks on this e.g. vs https://aws.amazon.com/textract/ etc
According to critical race theory, the identity group you fall into has systemic power over others. That means that no, you would not be considered disadvantaged or part of any oppressed group. Therefore it's not possible to be racist towards you.

Of course, there are still plenty of people who don't see white immigrants through the prism of Woke ideology so you'd likely find some sympathetic to considering you as a diverse hire, despite not checking any boxes on the Woke identity list. It would be an unofficial acknowledgement though.
It does have the ambiguity about source being available though. E.g, many people consider Unreal Engine 4 to be open source because you can see and even modify the source code.

It's the game to teach people what technical debt and refactoring is.

When you start building your factory, you think about how to get first steps just done (ship it!). Over time complexity and scope of your factory increases, but old code, I mean old machines, are still there, getting in the way.

You can choose to ignore it and work around it using underground belts and similar solutions, or you can take on a proper refactoring, limiting your progress in the short term.
Future standards for servers and data centers
A lot of it been like this for a long time. Postgre, MySQL, Redis, Nginx are bulletproof solid. Sqlite might as well be a hammer and so many businesses could easily run on it, if only there was a way to drop a column :o

Amount of $$ that was spent on Docker infra to run couple dozen servers at the last place I used to contract for.. oh and more fun when those machines have GPUs on them(a lot more fun) then they decided to support Singularity as well because.. I don’t know.
They also look pretty clean and free of rubbish.
Monopoly is indeed not technically the right term, but it's not necessarily a monopoly itself that causes antitrust issues, it's the business practices that are enabled by it. A large player in a market that uses business practices to capture and hold more of that market by erecting barriers of entry are definitely sailing into antitrust waters.

In essence, any practice that helps compete in the market by other ways than increasing value to the consumer is suspect. Incidentally, this is a double edges sword, as this is the interpretation of the antitrust laws that has enabled the rise of so many monopoly-like companies in the last few decades. (e.g. Amazon: we're increasing value to customers because we can offer lower prices if we're larger)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but would that work? I'm assuming (it wasn't clear) the goal there would be to display the person's whole face in a non-distracting way. But if the OLEDs are transparent and they're projecting the image that person's face, the projection would be both forwards and backwards, so the camera would just capture the space between that person's eyes instead of you.

Can transparent OLED's have a unidirectional display?
Collision avoidance is standard practice in the satellite industry.

I agree with you that we should have that right

Maybe we will lose some Apple support or risk of hacking / payment issue around those apps. But as long as we are informed about those risks before installing the apps.

iOS App Store is so big like Facebook / Google. If Google / Facebook block something based on similar reasons I would be against them too (also I hate AMP).

BTW you might want to take a look at https://altstore.io/ for sideloading iOS apps. There are some limitations but still better than nothing.
You do it to change the world.
In reality, if you know what you are doing, you would never compare like that (0 == "foo"). What would be the use case?

If you on the other hand don't know what you are doing, you are going to shoot yourself in the foot in one way or another.

If you really have some dynamic type situation and you for some legitimate reason don't know if your variable is going to be an int or a string, you would just compare using the === operator, which is a standard and well-known tool and does not have this issue.
I bought it for €10 5 years ago, in terms for gaming value for money I think only the €10 I spent on Minecraft beats it.
Java:

jshell> Long a = 12l; Long b = 12l;
a ==> 12
b ==> 12
jshell> a == b
$3 ==> true
jshell> a = 54321l; b = 54321l;
a ==> 54321
b ==> 54321
jshell> a == b
$6 ==> false

Does Epic allow players to buy Fortnite content from outside of Fortnite, without giving Epic any money?

Do Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo allow other stores on their consoles?

How much % do they take from console game sales?
Neurobiological Effects of Exercise
I'm there. Management sent an email to all employees a week after the process was initiated about how the works council was against all their values, and they have an amazing idea for modern employee representation - one they only hired an external lawyer to present after the employees asked for a works council.

Only a couple days ago, after having the invite in their hands for 10 days did they start complaining about health and safety. Something they were never concerned with when it came to actually working (packed meeting rooms, mandating customer service agents return to work in the office).

Its a shame, because there is a lot of cool work to do here, and really talented people to work with. It seems to just be a top level management problem.
What happens if you get picked up by the police, and your stuff is confiscated, and you get it back, how do you trust your apps on your phone if side-loading is allowed?

You can't. You can't know if whatsapp was replaced with whatsapp that syphon your data.

"Don't side load then." is a poor argument.
Pining this
I felt bamboozled when I first heard about nspawn. It's like docker but well integrated into systemd. How come there is so little discussion about it? Is the tooling lacking?
Also, telegram could be a quick one for this
How much would it cost to put something like microNOVA into orbit around Mars?
Amazing pictures! I hope this machine can be preserved and made visible to people: engineers and children will be amazed!

However, I don't believe their story of a guard sleeping while they were walking through metal frame and taking pictures with flashes. Bet that they paid the guard and agreed on the story he was sleeping to not put him in trouble...
You know you can just type a long comment, right? There’s no need to make a thread where 80% of the comments are just you replying to yourself.
Great game and it gave me quite a few insights into how systems should be designed.
I sympathize as well, but I think the problem is much more fundamental; I think there is no universally acceptable solution.

- If you think merit is a function of de facto performance, you will not deem it justified when the bar for admission is lowered for under-performing groups.

- If you think merit is a function of effort[0], then you will not deem it justified when everybody is held to the same standard of performance.

The reason this is such a touchy issue, I think, is that both approaches result in a de facto racial (and/or other immutable-trait-based) hierarchy. In my estimation, the determining ideological factor in picking a side is whether one prefers implicit vs explicit hierarchies.

[0] There's probably a better word than effort, but it's not coming to mind.
The car doesn't have cryptographic locks on its bonnet.
Really no. Ethnicity and IQ relationship is mainstream psychology. You're expressing a science-denial opinion which is popular but directly contradicted by the experts in the field and their evidence.

You're misled about intra- vs inter- group differences and your claim is actually kind of meaningless. See James Damore for a clear explanation on the phenomenon with elite selection. The upshot of it is that even small differences in group average have a big impact on representation of each group at the extremes.
We never bothered to migrate our small setup (circa 20 instances) to containers, we just use VMs.

We use Go binaries, so dependencies are compiled in, hosted on VMs on a cloud provider, setup with cloud config, and using systemd to manage services sitting behind a load balancer, one vm per service. Automated test and deploy so it's simple to make updates.

Never really felt the need for containers or the extra layer of abstraction and pain it brings.

Re hot fixes, automate your deploy process so that it's fast, and you won't mind checking in a fix and then deploying because it should take seconds to do this. You don't need containers to do this.

If you can't deploy changes quickly and easily in a reproducible way something is wrong. Having a record of every change and reproducible infrastructure is incredibly important, so we check everything into git then deploy (service config, code changes, data migrations). You don't need containers to get there though, and I'm not really sure they make it easier - perhaps in very big shops they help to standardise setup and infrastructure.
Cooking is really an art with lots of tacit knowledge that vary too much to put in a simple recipe.
The alternative to the Works Council should have a representation of employees who are not only based in Germany, but also all other countries, including Brazil and the United States

I find it hard to believe these councils don’t have the ability to account for international employees, is this a specifically “outside the EU” issue since the examples given are in the Americas, and not any of the neighboring countries they surely have employees in?
I started doing this back before Remote was really a thing. So initially, I'd work short 3-6 month contracts on-site in the 'states with 9-12 month stints of travelling in between.

Eventually, as it became more possible, I started lugging a laptop along and doing client work from the beach on rest days from climbing. I'd sometimes stop in one place for a month or so just to go heads down for a client or on my own project stuff.

In 2011, I took a full-time contract for a fully remote company in the 'states, while living in England. I was their furthest "remote" employee at the time, though they quickly started hiring more once they realized that it worked. There were guys on the team working poolside while digital nomadding around the world by the time I left 5 years later.

France happened after a long search to find a good surf break to set up shop at. The issue there is that surf always happens right next to the beach, where they keep all the $5M houses. Or in places full of grumpy expat American surfers that we decided we didn't want to be our sole source of potential friends.

Climbers, on the other hand, don't get grumpy and territorial over climbing areas. They're just generally lots of fun to be around, so the only real trick is to find a place that you won't climb out. Most crags have only a few hundred routes at the level you'll be operating at (even factoring in improvement from living next to said crag), so lots of cool places (including Tonsai beach iteslf) got ruled out on those grounds. Font, however, has 30,000 problems recorded and new 7th grade lines going up at the rate of about one every 3 days. It'll be tough to catch up.

As to living, it works itself out. They have doctors, grocery stores and schools everywhere in the world. Do what the locals do and you'll be fine.

Hope to see you out here one of these days!

EDIT: It occurs that I actually wrote a whole article on this once. Shoulda just linked it:

As a non-white Jew (there are 20-30% of us!) I know I'd be annoyed to be considered white. I'd like to hope we've finally moved beyond this one.
The achievements in the game are a lot of fun to go after - they're mostly the right amount of painful/challenging and interesting to make you actually want to try for them.

That being said, I've put more than a few thousand hours into the game over the past few years and I think the base game finally got stale enough for me to move on to something else right as they're reaching 1.0, but that's okay. (The big problem for me is that I've been sinking a lot of time into mods like Seablock and after nearly 100 hours into this run I can't see starting over from scratch again just to be on 1.0. I'm not even sure I want to finish this run either knowing I'm unlikely to see bug fixes in the Seablock mod packs, and they definitely could use some work.)
Cost is more of a spoiler than radioactivity. At "one quadrillion dollars per ounce" you might as well do isotope separation and only collect stable gold 197. The additional cost of the separation would probably be just a rounding error in the whole thing.
My college experience was made massively more enlightening because it exposed me to people from very different backgrounds. I grew up in a nearly 100% white suburb of Detroit, and even though I only had to walk 5 blocks north from my house to be in nearly 100% Black Detroit, I had never had a real conversation with a Black person until college, where both dorm life and coursework put me in close frequent contact with many people from diverse backgrounds. My undergrad degrees were in physics and mechanical engineering, and many engineering courses involved group projects where you end up spending maybe 100+ hours with the group members over the course of the semester. This situation specifically lead me to a number of eye-opening conversations and experiences where I discovered my own blind spots. For example, one time when I was driving to Home Depot with a Black electrical engineer groupmate and friend, I was pulled over for no obvious reason. I'm white and my father was an FBI agent so I have always been comfortable around law enforcers, so I asked what the issue was but the officer gave a vague non-answer (I made a "suspicious turn") and asked my friend for his ID. I asked the officer for clarity and why he would need the ID from a passenger if it was a moving violation, to which he asked how I knew the passenger. I explained we were engineers going to pick up supplies for a project, and I could see in his demeanor relax, right before he said "that explains it, something just didn't seem right" and let us go. After heading on, I ignorantly wondered what that was about as there was no legal basis for it, and my friend asked if I seriously didn't see that the cop just thought it was strange and possibly a sign of trouble/distress that me, a bookish white young man was driving with a Black young man. I couldn't see that in the moment, but in retrospect it was obvious. I was able to better see part of the world that was hidden from me because I was with a Black person who I met through school. Without the coursework, I wouldn't have developed that friendship, and without the friendship, I couldn't have started a real conversation about what it was like being Black in America and what other stuff like that happened to him.

That's just one example (one of the most impactful for sure) of the great extracurricular educational value I got out of being around a diverse group of people.

As a high schooler, I held similar views to many of the people commenting on this link, that affirmative action was unjust. Today, I know that my educational experience was greatly improved by my exposure to people with very different lived experiences, educational backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. My understanding of the world and the problems to be solved is so much richer because of these experiences and connections, and universities absolutely improve the quality of the education by promoting and facilitating these connections. Even excluding the societal benefits of affirmative action (eg helping a systematically oppressed population gain access to better economic opportunities), affirmative action is a smart and good policy for universities to embrace.
Afair the first IP stack of either Windows 95 oder Windows 98 was the one from FreeBSD(?). They rewrote it later, but there was an acknowledgement in the docs for a while. So, they at least used it when needed.

(My memory may be fuzzy, it's been a long time after all ..)
I haven't migrated off it, but I've stopped forcing it everywhere because I came to the realization that there will probably be only one copy running in production anyways.

These days I just keep an <project>/systemd/<bunch of service files> and <target os>_provision.sh

Provision file has all the commands the target OS needs to run the program. Service files are copied to their respective places under $HOME/.config/systemd and are ready to use after systemctl --user daemon-reload and systemctl --user enable <all services>. You can also use loginctl enable-linger <username> in order to start user services on startup.

I install programs as services using systemd and monitor a bunch of them with monit. I also can't help but notice that they do work better on bare metal.

One of my favourite games of all time - sometime in 2018 I overloaded myself on it though. Designing systems at my job then coming home to design systems... well it might have been fun but I think I needed more variety in my life, ha!
Cost is the usually the main factor determining whether something is possible.
This is a real problem and it has to do that we try to quantify everything for risk assessments. This is a huge problem and the IT sector is a large part of that. A problem that should be discussed.

Reparations within a country between different ethnicities a good way to increase animosity. Because people would complain rightfully, that the wealth transfer is unjust.

I doubt you find any book in education that says that slavery wasn't bad. Every ethnicity on the planet has suffered from it and < 1% were slave owners. Yes, I know the argument that people profited passively... it isn't too convincing given the huge wealth distribution discrepancies western nation exhibit.

I don't think you are advocating for justice or equality here.
