Time off would allow people to relax, work on a hobby, exercise, etc. If you are feeling run down after working from a crappy, crammed apartment for 3 months, it can be refreshing to get an extra week or so off work with no questions asked.
FUSE effectively provides a POSIX-like interface to arbitrary code, whereas the author is lamenting that these features weren't built into Unix/POSIX-like systems to make them widely available in the first place.

The "problem" with modern POSIXish systems is that the definition of what is "POSIX" seems to be set in stone. All the various Unix-likes offer POSIX compatibility (or aim toward it) while new features that extend capability end up being implemented in completely different ways across different systems.

So for example while Linux has inotify (arguably an implementation of the filesystem traps that Multics had), SGI had FAM, FreeBSD has kqueue, MacOS has FSEvents, and they're all incompatible with each other... a nightmare for developers of portable applications.
Just because you state this stat doesn’t allow Epic to accuse Apple of being a monopoly. The 50% us probably false based on all platforms totalled together
Taking care of their child through health and hardship is their responsibility. They took up that responsibility when they had the child.

Sure, it sucks to be them when they're in a position where they're attempting to take care of a child while working - but that's not their co-workers problem. That's a consequence of their own choices.
If the vaccine confers only limited immunity - but the users run off and act like they are immune for life - we could pretty quickly end up in a situation where giving a vaccine could result in 5 deaths where 1 only would have happened without it because people would have been more careful.

This is why it is important to understand not only that it doesn't kill people, but how much immunity it provides.
That depends on how profitable the company is (many companies are experiencing downturns in revenue right now) and whether that profitability is improved/protected by hiring more people or not.
crun is quite a bit faster.

Also `runc` has quite a lot of C in it anyways. The go runtime makes many things very complicated or even impossible.
I understand what this site is about so no issue here.
Courts have broad discretion to conduct the course of lawsuits.

In this case, I fully expect the judges to ask some hard questions about why Epic seems so content with the consoles, while taking a bold stand for freedom on mobile, and only mobile.

I'll be up in the virtual peanut gallery munching popcorn the whole time. It's gonna be a ride.
If they don’t fight back they lose all respect.

It's important to note that the AstraZeneca vaccine is adenovirus based [0], not mRNA based like the Pfizer and Moderna candidates. It was to be expected that this approach could cause more complications. mRNA vaccines have their own issues, but they do not involve live viruses being injected [1]. Instead they use lipid nanoparticles as a substrate to enter the body's cells [2].

Should we be forced to pay taxes?
Someone has to provide the goods and services you'll consume when you're old. Those people are today's kids, whose parents are doing you a big favor at considerable expense to themselves.

Raising children isn't like smoking, a hobby, a side hustle, or other miscellaneous personal obligations. It's more like military service and jury duty -- an essential service that some people perform to ensure that society as we know it can continue to exist. And one which employers can, should, and often do make special allowances for.
This is my understanding. Most of what I've read suggests that there was lots of "tribal raiding" going on, but "warfare" pretty much by definition requires larger polities such as city states or nations which are thought to be a more recent development.
But none of my friends know any of your friends, so I ignore their votes. Admittedly that means that any sort of consensus reality breaks down online, but hey, it's 2020 and we are where we are.
How do you think that agreement came about? Hard lobbying from the tax prep industry.
> who said anything about fascism

The alt-right is basically fascism, no? I don't mean in the normal online accusatory fashion, I mean in the "literally fans of Mussolini" fashion.

Or maybe we mean two different groups of people? I'm thinking of the folks involved with Charlottesville, etc. as opposed to the "alt lite" which is Ben Shapiro / Sargon / Cernovich and their ilk, who are distinct in the sense that they ostensibly disavow racism etc. and are more classical liberalists.

> , there is very little "deconstruction" -- to the extent that is a thing, in the show

That's a matter of opinion, I guess? I agree it has devolved since 2016, but there's still the occasional gem in there.
Sure. Just provide us with level of pay cut comfortable to you with respect to your reduced commitment

Is this a Straussian way to show that people become less interesting when intoxicated? Because if so you did a good job. Joe being drunk (or high?) ruined this podcast.

> In your “tax rebate” example you should be upset with whoever decided to issue rebates in that way, not the people who received the rebate.

Or you could point out that it's unjust to favor some people in that regard, which everyone would do, and the receivers of the tax break would report feeling a growing resentment over their privileged treatment. Because at the end of the day, the taxes have to be paid. If some are cutting their taxes, others must step up.

I get it, double incomes are great, paying for child care sucks, and reducing hours sucks too (because less income), so if coworkers could just pick up the slack without compensation, that'd be great. But that's essentially just asking the colleagues to finance the chosen lifestyle.
It most certainly was for quite a while where I am (Ontario, Canada). For months we were told to only be in close proximity to those we already lived with. IIRC it was 2 steps on the "start to relax recommendations" path before a group of 10 was permissible.
I was surprised when I first read about that theory (that pre-historic people were largely free of warfare) and it seems really unintuitive, but I also kind of get why it may have been easy to paint that picture even with some science. It’s nice to see us trudging forward and making sure to correct our records :)

I think this is where I first ran into the concept: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/08/archaeologists-uncov...
> Since divorce became acceptable, it became a huge liability for women to exit the workforce and permanently give up earning power to raise children.

Where are these anecdotes from? Of the divorced men I know in California - they're on the hook for a lot of money. Their wives chose to not work (first few years to do childcare - remaining years because they didn't want to). The women didn't want to be in the relationship anymore and got a divorce. The men end up owing their spouses alimony for decades plus child support (regardless of where the kids spend the most time).

As a straight man, I've decided to not marry based on their horror stories alone. I see marrying someone who wants to be a SAHM as a huge financial liability not in just temporary loss of earning potential but in near permanent levels of loss due to potential divorce.
This is true, but do people really think it’s the end of history for personal computing and that iOS and Android are the endgame such that they should be regulated like energy utilities?

The lack of entrepreneurial imagination is astounding. VR and AR are coming, Facebook and Valve are poised to be the next kings of tech. The current era of Apple and Google has an obvious time limit.
As a childless person who cooks fine, the hardest part of this pandemic has been the mental toll of the sudden loss of everything that gives my life meaning- nights out with friends, concerts, festivals, etc.

I don't have the fortune of getting a sense of meaning from being a parent.

Go ahead and tell me how the things I get meaning from pale in comparison to being a parent and how I just need to suck it up. Does that make this pandemic any less depressing for childfree people? No, it doesn't.
You're wrong that success comes from the individuals always and never the team dynamic. This is a very common mistake I have seen a lot.

You can't measure the amount that the 2 "slackers" are influencing decisions by talking to the 2 putting in more hours at a keyboard. A side conversation nobody bothered to document with could save weeks worth of work. Sometimes the ones who put in more hours contributed less. You may not be able to measure that.

I'll come right out and say it: Fixed number of seats promotion budgets and performance reviews based on individual achievement are usually bullshit. The entire game is false. Unfortunately it's religion for many people.
that is the crappiest website i've seen in quite sometime. my first impression was that this is either a scam or a joke. in this day and age, if you are can't afford a decently designed site, how am i ever even going to give your product a chance.
Just as long as the romance is tempered with the reality of the occasional house-fire.
The only mandatory part, from UI point of view, was the username in "users" table. On 2nd table (think was "userExt" called) everything was user generated and not required. From law point of view the data you entered in there was your responsibility to comply with both embassy requirements and your country issued ID's (personal identity card, passport, driver license, marriage license, etc).

The document was also user generated from their defined fields and was user customizable. My implementation was to allow users move fields on the form however they liked and also had an option to be saved as template to be used further by same user or others.

Sorting and filtering was the biggest issue. Since we talk about Kuweit, Unicode complaint was paramount, including Mongolian alphabet (not to mention classic pitfalls of Chinese, Japanese, Arabic). Initially I went with UTF-16. That was a big mistake and I've refactored that part of the code a year later to be UTF-8. Since this was also manually picked by Admin, it had a points system. For example if more then 10 different users would add a new field (let's say "tribe name") then Admin would get a notification about it and could be added as option, for future users, to pick when entering their data. Once defined in Admin part, it could be used for sorting/filtering like any other already defined field. As for exact sorting, I've simply let Unicode standard and the library used at the time to figure it out, I haven't done any special code on it. Best to let others smarter then you on that issue to do it, you just use their defined interfaces.

Display for Admin would show all the user defined fields, one after another. Admin also had the possibility to view them in the user saved templates. In case of using a template from another user to current user, the form would simply show a red outline and empty space there if data was missing, and if the same user had other fields not used by current view they would be enumerated at the end of current form. Forms could be on as many pages as the user wanted. Remember, this was used by embassy and everything entered online would also be manually compared with the hard copy of them by the officer in charge of your application. I don't think pranking the embassy officer with a shitty form would be nice for you since he would simply reject your application and you had to pay (the least amount was on thousand of dollars) to begin the process. Only a bored billionaire would do something like that, usual folks took great care to actually be 100% accurate.
Because it is a violation of very basic Human Rights? Not to mention the can of worms that will open. Who gets to decide who's worthy of procreation? Based on political, social, economic values? This is like codifying systemic discrimination into fundamental human rights.
While I've seen its real name now, for me this will always be the Under Water Screen.
I don't know what argument you're talking about. I'm trying to be charitable to the person above and not outright say that "no, you don't get to run whatever software he likes on a phone he bought". He's on the losing side, but maybe laws in the future will change.

Right now, it's totally within a company's rights (and a consumer's rights) to review the terms of a sale of a product/service, and agree to them or not.
What happens in Belarus is absolutely disgusting. Something you would expect from a mexican narco cartel not a european country. What’s even more disgusting is lack of any tangible help from the US/EU. No sanctions for Lukashenko they said.
Epic tried distributing Fortnite via side loading on Android and gave up, and ended up crawling to Google to get on the Play store so we’ve already run that experiment and it failed badly. Stores are vital for discovery at commercial scale.

Bear in mind Apple didn’t have to do a store at all. Steve Jobs was against the idea and wanted all iPhone apps to be in house from Apple only in order to maintain quality. Alternatively Apple could have implemented APIs and services for side loading apps like on Android. They chose a middle path, and why shouldn’t they? Are the two extremes really the only options that should be tolerated?
Sorry, but what? Once I've bought the app, that analogy is broken. I've taken it home and opened the box, but somehow Walmart think they now get to control any subsequent transactions between me and the manufacturer?

Let's say it's a water filter. Now it's a Walmart-specific water filter. When the filter module needs replacing, the vendor is now prohibited from selling me a replacement through any channel but Walmart, or even providing any contact details in the box to obtain a spare from them directly. You'd file that under "WTAF?" and complain to the nearest competition regulator.

So yes, this is unusual, and in my country at least, misusing your market power to force another party to mislead the consumer and distort a market is illegal.

Don't conflate the product with the platform. Otherwise you implicitly allow that you basically don't own the product even after you've bought it, which is unconscionable.
The perfect outcome according to me will be that you could be required to pay apple tax if you use app store to distribute the app, but the user should have a way to install any app outside the store and apple has to provide user a way to let them install it. This will have far reaching consequence for many devices like consoles, home assistants etc. I believe we are simply giving control of the devices we own for not much reason at all, only reason is that the manufactures want to earn after they sell the device.
Isn't a better analogy that car dealerships deserve revenue for selling Toyota's cars? Running an app store and providing a safe platform for users isn't free right?

At a previous employer, we had an incident management bot that was pretty widely used by product teams but for whatever reason, the actual data just sat in a Redis instance (the default Hubot adaptor out of the box) and was never looked at

The data was mostly a mess as the bot had interfaced with Flowdock at one point and later Slack, but even then Slack had undergone a few changes to the message schema. All up, there were about 4 different distinct schemas.

To be clear, what was stored was the representation of an incident that also included data about the person who commanded the incident. Generally the commander data was just a copy of their profile data, and that was the thing that mostly changed over time.

Anyway, one of my first tasks when I joined was to throw together a small web API to expose that data so we could generate reports and what not.

Perhaps the most important thing to note is that nothing I did actually drove any particular change. I just got lucky because when our new CTO joined and started asking product teams how many incidents they often had, product teams started asking our group for reports.

Seeing how much time my manager was spending generating these things, I took the next logical step of throwing together a basic UI (filtering, sorting, exporting to CSV) so that it inverted the overhead onto the teams themselves rather than it being bottlenecked by one or two people doing reports.

Anyway, there's more to it than that, and funnily enough no one in our wider team was really aware of what I put together. Having said that, it was a fun experience and kinda nice getting a little bit of attention for a while. It was more or less a side project so I got to field customer requests (and treat users like customers), balance priorities and so on

I guess the theme here would be a mix of visibility and automating toil?

---

I've often thought about doing a New Old Thing style postmortem on that bot. It was rewritten a little while ago now but the first version, using the default hubot adaptor, made me really appreciate Redis. It was doing some highly uestionable stuff under the hood but as a testament to Redis, it never missed a beat.
My whole family is from Appalachian parts of NC, and even though I consider myself a "city person" (born and raised in Charlotte) - the traits from the article do match up pretty well with my personal big 5 traits.

The agreeableness thing is interesting, because that's one of those traits where I've always heard there is a pretty significant difference on average between men and women (with women tending to score higher). Anecdotally, I think this could be the factor to explain a family trend, that I'm told is not uncommon in the region. The women in my family tend to do really well for themselves by going after non-traditionally female career paths and doing well - despite super modest backgrounds. My great-grandma went from working at a mill to building and running a modest mobile home park, great-aunt got a scholarship and became a doctor way back in 60s, my mom got a full scholarship and moved out of the mountains to start her own own business in a male-dominated field. Meanwhile the male side includes - a hobo, taxi-driver, mining/odd jobs, and another close family member who has been on the run from the law for dealing drugs for many years now.
What’s crazy is there is a tier of Turbotax called “Free” (not free if you make almost any money) and “Free File” (actually free)
I have a hard time agreeing with this. Cooking things like hot dogs, dogs and beans, pasta and meat sauce, etc... that's relatively simple for anyone. And it can be done for the time being until they figure out how to cook better things; things that will make them happy. The ability to ease your way into cooking for one's self should make it relatively trivial.

Honestly, compared to figuring out how to work from home without losing 50% of your productivity (for someone that wasn't already setup for it), the food part seems easy.
Generally, no, unless is the equivalent of a jailbreak.

Same for any console, though some are very restrictive and have very specific pricing guidelines (eg. Nintendo).
Failure seems to be on management for not allowing the people with families to flex their work schedule and work outside of normal hours. Or is this a specific example where the individuals are not able to perform their duties outside a specific window?

As the parent article was specifically about Tech firms, I find the likelyhood of a position with rigidly fixed hours low.

Anecdotal, I know, but I work in the tech field, and am a parent of two small children. Luckily, I've been given the ability to flex schedule, and often work two or three hours "after-hours" if I needed to go afk to parent during normal "office hours". I'm rather confident that my productivity has not dropped by any measurable margin since my flex scheduling has started, and has probably increased, since I more often take on late-night deployments or maintenance tasks since it allows me to trade hours for day-time parenting.

Now I'm sure there are people who are taking advantage of the system, or perhaps are unable to flex or work after hours and may be unable to shoulder their full workload, but I think that group is being blown out of proportions.
That's true for nearly all of nonRoman Europe.
The MTS file system was non hierarchical, and the data model was not stream-of-bytes but rather line-numbered-record file. That said, it had some nice features, including append-only access, and program keys.

As I recall, fairly complete MTS documentation can be found at Bitsavers, and one can download a complete MTS distribution to run under emulation, see the Wikipedia article for a link.
I think the current situation falls outside the bounds of the regular ups and downs. Most prospective parents were (reasonably) assuming school, childcare, etc would continue to exist.
Freedom to go to bars (closed), clubs (closed), trips (not happening), concerts (canceled), conventions (postponed indefinitely), festivals (closed), etc...

Most things childfree people get meaning out of are canceled until further notice. You still have your parenthood. What do we get? Extra work for equal pay? Great, that'll make the pandemic suck less.

The only features I care about is that they finally improved Java support beyond version 8, and NDK is finally getting AAR package support for C++ libraries.

However none of that is relevant for end users, in that regard there is hardly any reason to get Android 11.

I just finished reading this book a few weeks ago. I can't recommend it enough. There is so much to learn here, and it's not just a shot of positivity--it's that we're fundamentally wrong about human nature, and much of the research we've long relied on to justify our beliefs is flawed (or often faked or just plain wrong).
In my view Epic is the full grown capable adult wanting to live in his parents basement for free.
Sure, but it's fair to say that if someone has 75% availability and must miss meetings because of external events, their output is affected.

Besides, I am talking about a drop in output for a given employee, so the comparison to other employees is pointless. If my productivity dropped by 25%, I'd hear about it pretty quickly, and I doubt my explanation would matter much in my performance review.
They weren't called the Dark Ages for nothin'.
