I have been working for years in a company that mixed WFH and office, it depends how you do it. In our case we meet at the office periodically to catch up but not every day not everybody and not in every location. The schedule is built according to teams, their specific work needs and time constraints. It require some level of trust but from my experience comparing to office only or wfh only places I worked for, the combined approach is the best. We are mostly people with families so a bit more responsible and appreciative of having time at home but also wanting to escape home from time to time if you know what i mean. So it works perfect.
> I never saw a single manager who likes WFH

I do. But you've never seen me, so there is truth to your words.

The employees are quite productive, I hate commuting, and Zoom works remarkably well to stay connected. Not as well as it could be, but it's finally "over the hill".

Two things worry me:

- The long-term isolation is detrimental to mental health, so we might be on borrowed time right now.

- Onboarding new employees might become more difficult absent ongoing visual contact.
But heart disease, diabetes and many types of cancers are diseases that you will get, regardless of diet or lifestyle, if nothing else kills you first.
Yeah of course, we know that now. I just mean could we have got to where we are now without it. How could we have done it differently?
> This is a weak argument. If you can’t shell out $100 a year then you don’t really care about your Apple customers.

It doesn't matter how much money you give Apple, because if they don't like your app, then you can't distribute it without macOS treating it likes it's radioactive.

To me, it seems like Apple doesn't really care about its customers when it doesn't let them run the software of their choosing with ease.

You seem to be confusing english speaking ability with the ability to communicate and articulate well. Communication is not about being able to speak english perfectly, it's firstly about listening and understanding the context of requirements. It's about being approachable enough so that the clients/stakeholders want to work with you, and clarify things with you, which in turn leads to a product which is close enough to something that they needed.
All of this I agree with. In a better world 'arrays' would have added in the 1980's. The arguments about memory limitations is spurious since if you're writing good code you always pass a pointer and the length. Always no exceptions.

Yeah and all the string functions should have been marked as depreciated with C89 and fully depreciated with C99.
It’s just as naive to think that a company shouldn’t have to pay anything or play by the rules of such a valuable ecosystem.

So, you are unhappy that he called SJWs for what they are, or just that he used the word?
So in your view, the fact we are in 2020 (which is not very inclusive way to speak about date by the way, as I personally live in Reiwa 2), the fact someone is resisting about extremist views on a number of topics which are potentially prejudicial to himself in the long term, is something to be ashamed of? (Note that I didn’t check his blog, but being anti-SJW sounds exactly what an intelligent perso would do)

You know there is a name of that kind of behavior, and it has made millions of deaths worldwide already. It shows that resisting is even more important than before, before it is too late again.
Metals can be sorted fairly efficiently. Most types of steel can be pulled out with magnets. Nonmagnetic metals can be sorted from plastic by having a conveyor belt chuck the incoming stream over an gap with a magnetic field applied to it. The magnetic field induces a current in the flying metal, causing the metal itself to become magnetic. This causes the metal to slow down (eddy current braking), and now you have physically separate streams of plastic etc. (fast) and metal (slow).

I'm an avid electric moped rider in Vienna, a moderately sized European city, and in my first few weeks of ridership, it was very clear that people just do not look if they don't first have an audio cue .. and indeed, I almost hit a number of people because they didn't hear me. Electric mopeds are smooth and near-silent - especially in the rush of a big city.

I've had days where all I can think of, is how to add sound to my moped in cool ways. #1 idea is to put a kind of buzzer/whistle on my helmet .. thought of the whole 'speed-based synthesiser app' that makes the "drrroooooot" sound (its a nonsense idea), but in the end, a plain old bell seems to be the most effective measure yet, in the effort to continue to enjoy the electric ride ..

I could imagine an industry standard 'speed synthesiser', though, but the jingle-bell is cute too, and cheaper ...

Command line automation isn't the issue I'm having, the issue I'm having is being able to download without making an Apple account.

Sideloading would be helpful if Mac app store apps were made available as sideloaded apps anywhere. But I'm going to hazard a guess that Wireguard would not be permitted to provide those downloads -- I haven't been able to find a download link anywhere. And I'm seeing conflicting information online about whether or not sideloading even works for some apps unless the Apple IDs are shared between computers.

I suppose that I could try to compile the Wireguard app from source, but for all I know, running XCode will require an account as well.

All of these solutions are less work than manually managing the network interfaces myself. It's just kind of crappy that a privacy-oriented company is forcing me to do so. I shouldn't have to outsmart my Mac to get work done.
No, I totally agree with that. That's just not acceptable.

You need a Mac, to pay $100 a year, and to pass the Notarization process. For many open source utility apps that give customers greater control of their hardware, those apps will not pass the Notarization process because they touch things like private APIs.

The end result is the user is misled by macOS into thinking that the software they want to use is either broken or malicious, and they are left being unable to use their computer in a way that Apple doesn't like.
Sometimes I do a “fake commute” by foot, walking around 15 min outside from my kitchen to my home office. The days I don’t want, I just walk into the home office. Sometimes I take this walk at the lunch break, or after work. I can accomplish errands sometimes.

So it is all about habits and freedom. Turns out freedom is not that easy to manage. Artists and self employed people have to be able to manage such things themselves (think writing an album at home), and it’s interesting to see that many people are struggling with that.
It exists: https://json5.org/

However I think it goes too far. E.g. why support single quoted strings? That just makes parsing harder.

I prefer the format Microsoft uses in VSCode and Typescript - JSONC. It's just JSON but with trailing commas and comments. The downside is it isn't obvious when something is JSON and when it is JSONC because they use the same extension.

I was working at a Waste Management landfill and noticed it had acres and acres of 10 foot tall mounds of glass. The workers didn't know the plan for it. I suppose eventually it might be valuable to recycle it. But somebody used energy to wash it out, sort it, and transport it. Seems like a marketing green wash.
If it is not economical to recycle, let's admit the facts rather than pretend to make people falsely feel good about saving the planet while actually using even more energy to truck it around.

It's perfectly normal. No one sees everything that gets posted or that appears on the front page.
the problem is that when you step out of genre fiction, you cant just recommend a book with a similar plot or setting, it needs to have a similar style of writing and sensibility and thats very hard to determine.

The problem with recycling is that it's stupid. Our trash bags are plastic. It's not worse for the environment to put some extra plastic inside the plastic bag that you use to throw away your trash.

Recycling is for materials which are harder to process from the environment than from recycling. Plastic is precisely the opposite. It's essentially a byproduct of refining oil. It's so cheap to make that you would be hard pressed to find a single thing that could be replaced by plastic that hasn't been.
You would want some global reference time, and that could be a number of seconds passing on Earth. However locally you can't work with a clock that doesn't tick at a constant rate (if seconds on your spaceship go twice as fast, the crew can work with that; if the rate changes day-to-day as you accelerate, that's a problem).

In addition, you will probably want clocks that run at a given perceived speed, to time physical processes that take the same time everywhere (e.g. so your cookie recipe saying "bake for 600 seconds" work without translation).
Comments in JSON are easy. You just strip them out before sending to a strict parser. Some parsers even support them out of the box.

In fact they're so easy they were already in JSON, and then later removed.

Its funny, Boies seems to want him to take the question very literally, but if you take the question very literally its asking how popular the term is in general in microsoft. Gates would have no knowledge of what words people use when he's not around, so if you have to take the exact literal meaning, he wouldn't know.

There's a reason we normally don't take questions as fully literal in day-to-day life.
My heart by with you fellow human. Thanks for trying to make the world a little better even under less-than-ideal conditions.
yeah, there's nothing inherently wrong about trying to figure out some fact. the problem arises in how you go about doing it. once you start asking questions that bring up painful memories, you have to consider whether the fact finding is actually worth bringing up all that pain. seems like this particular fact wasn't really worth it.

related but different: something can be an ironclad matter of fact and at the same time be entirely inappropriate to mention, depending on the venue.
I don't agree with the article at all.

I think it's equating two very different anti-trust cases. Apple maintains control of what its users can install on their own devices--Microsoft never did that.

Just offering a free software should not be considered anti-trust. For one, browsers have been unfairly singled out. Why not ban MS Paint or notepad too? How about solitaire?

Now if Microsoft had restricted users from installing another browser in Windows, then I would agree it's anti-competitive. And this is much more akin to what Apple is doing.

The author wants to paint MS as hypocritical, but aside from being accused of anti-competitive practices, there are no similarities.

And second, I despise how one's deposition attitude plays so much into the media's narrative. It doesn't matter if Gates was kind or rude, agreeable or flippant, sloppy or well-dressed. The only that that matters are legal facts.
Having been deposed once the other lawyer spent 12 minutes asking me questions around a thing. The crux of the matter was if I had been verbally informed of what a line item was or if it was illegal to charge for said line item. This line item was unmarked on my receipt but marked on a different customers receipt as an illegal item to charge for.

Lawyer tried constantly to get me to answer a question that would set them up. At the end they gave up and asked "did they tell you this item was for X and they were not allowed to charge for that". "No.". The deposition ended there.

Given it was not a huge deal litigation and the deposition took place in my lawyer's dining room it was actually an interesting experience and not really uncomfortable. It was akin to doing a programming interview. Actually a lot less was on the line.

To a very good approximation, there are no people on Earth who could confirm that an online vote was correctly counted. Perhaps a few dozens of experts in cryptography, computer architecture AND security could truly understand and be convinced that the system was working as prevented. Regular people, like CS professors or Linus Torvalds definitely couldn't.

So, such a system would have to be blindly trusted by essentially everybody. Not a great basis for a democracy, I would say.

It won't be a duopoly because nVidia doesn't make x86 hardware. Even if they did, there would be three contenders (AMD, Intel, nVidia).

nVidia is becoming an AI/HPC behemoth. GPUs for Compute, ARM for feeding the GPUs, Infiniband for interconnect. All in a tightly integrated, closed package. This is a clear monopoly.

They're light years ahead in terms of GPU development and Debugging tools when compared to AMD. CUDA cornered AI/GPU computing it seems. Intel's interconnect foray has fizzled, like their Xeon Phi / Larabee efforts. So, nVidia has the interconnect (Infiniband) and compute part for now.

CPUs can be challenged and disrupted. It's a mature technology. AMD can catch nVidia in enterprise in medium term (hopefully), but Infiniband has no competitors for what it does. And no, 100G Ethernet is no match for 100G Infiniband (we use it a lot since DDR. It's an insane tech).

We're living in interesting times.
I wouldn’t think the commuting air is much better than in a park. Outside beats inside in most scenarios, doesn’t it?
It does, however, have integer overflow, in release mode. So if you do code a conversion, you can end up with a value different from the source.
This makes sense. Most of the Jetson/Xavier/Nano boards already use a Carmel ARMv8 chip. I just hope this spurs more development in ARMv8. Currently the majority of ARM is ARMv7 (smartphones and Raspi).
I don't think so.

Looking at it from South East England, this shows what a huge business commuting is. Probably millions of people commute into London every day. Train fares (which are expensive), taxi fares, coffee shops, takeaway food, pubs, restaurants. Since lockdown people who have been working from home have found that they suddenly have plenty of cash on hand for a reason. Commuting is big business and that's why some are lobbying for commuting to resume ASAP.

Softbank bought ARM in 2016 and paid $32B ($35B of 2020 USD after 4 years of inflation).

And today they get $40B but partly in Nvidia stocks... Assuming that Softbank manages to sell immediately the Nvidia stock and get their $40B, it is more like 14%. In the same timeframe Nvidia stock went from $30 (Jan. 2016) to $480 (Friday) or x16.

Softbank would have a way better outcome if they had invested in Nvidia 4 years ago, than investing in ARM. The potential 14% they got over last 4 years, is not great.

Sexism for sure. Like when someone named John Sonmez went on a sexist tirade on Twitter last year, Martin went to his support: https://dev.to/awwsmm/can-we-separate-the-artist-from-their-...

And now when he was told he had said some things that make people uncomfortable, his public reaction was threatening to sue. He'd rather attack, than stop and understand why he is becoming persona non grata.

Co-opting the language of victimhood (in the blog post, but also for Sonmez https://twitter.com/unclebobmartin/status/118636551396805017... ) to support and perpetuate toxic behaviour in himself and other people in the software industry is just one reason why "Uncle" Bob Martin shouldn't be given a platform by any conference. There are plenty more deserving people who can talk instead.
> I would not be surprised if Qanon becomes an actual faith in America, with the Donald as their Jesus.

I mean, I would argue that that has already happened; it's a fringe religion/cult. Again, though, that's not new. Fringe religions show up all the time, and have since before the dawn of recorded history. Even if you just restrict it to Christian traditions, look how many millennial cults there've been!
Is this a problem though? Is business suffering? Are there metrics on that?
He's not barred from talking about anything. He still has a popular blog and presumably writes books or something and can talk at other conferences.

Some people don't want to share a platform with him and the conference decided they'd rather have those people than him.
I would love a way to anonymously purchase apps, but I'm not even asking for that much accomodation.

I would tolerate giving Apple billing information to purchase an app. I don't understand why I need billing information to download a free app that doesn't cost any money. There's no transaction for Apple to verify.

And I don't understand why I need to give Apple a phone number of any of this.

I'm not even asking for an ideal world, just a very slightly less crappy one; Apple objectively does not need my phone number to let me hit a download link. That serves no purpose, it's a completely unrelated step to the task I'm trying to perform.
