> I hear this all the time, but if you build more dense versions of the cities/towns we have now, it'll be miserable. Thin-walled apartment homes built along narrow-sidewalks without proper public spaces and reasonable bike/pedestrian zones, etc.

So we...don't do that. Bluntly speaking, it's trivial: all of these issues are of our own making in America. We have hundreds of examples just in Europe of how to make car-lite, walkable, nice cities and towns and that's just on a single continent. And that's artificially restricting ourselves to a single continent with societies that look the most like ours. A quick pivot to most of eastern Asia will show much more variety in how to build those areas.

(I will pause here and throw right out the idea that "Europe is much smaller than the United States so we couldn't possibly..." There is no reason we cannot duplicate those same cityscapes all across the United States; we have sub-national states and counties for a reason.)

We are car-centric and spread out because we choose to be. So we either change those choices and make the commensurate political and financial changes to go along with it, or we don't and we accept the consequences of things like "large swaths of the West Coast burn to the ground" and "we are stuck in our metal boxes powered by carbon fuels or batteries backed by precious rare earth minerals." We already spent a couple trillion dollars propping up the stock market for nothing more than paper gains; the argument that we "can't afford it" is laughable.
I really loved this book. He was cancelled so thoroughly he had to change his name, and people were STILL trying to dox him, 500 pages later.
The landfill here supports recycling (on site) because it reduces their operating costs.

I believe one of the more effective diversions is cardboard (where recycling it at slight income is better than spending resources burying it).
Everyone loves to saber rattle about FAANG and antitrust, while we all sit back and let Charter and Comcast make contracts to not compete with eachother[0], we rapidly head towards having one major national bank[1] and somehow the big 4 always seem to spontaneously engage in the same bad behaviors, and Ma Bell has much been re-assembled to it's original state[2].

We desperately need a new trust buster president.

I've worked from home for 17 years, but I love to go work other places like coffee shops, libraries, etc. I would LOVE to not be at home again.

I can technically go to these other places and work again, just like I used to, because the area I live in believes this is all a hoax, but I'm just not comfortable, and I don't want to wear a mask all day, and people just aren't the same right now - so I'm a little nervous about being around strangers all day and want to avoid uncomfortable or awkward situations.
Using a proper microscope for soldering was definitely one of the most useful things I learned as a high schooler interning in an electronics lab.

I am still surprised that this is not more common. Even a biology-grade binocular microscope for 100$-ish makes a huge difference.
Build systems can enforce visibility, which solves this.

Allowing fine grained visibility at the level of a file, package, or artifact is better than at the granularity of a repo.
I run all my Windows software in Parallels/Virtualbox instances, on macOS/Linux respectively. It is very hardened Windows 7, and it has very limited access to the internet, and Windows 7 still receive some updates, which I assume cover critical vulnerabilities. I hope to keep this setup for 2-3 more years.

I remember, I said huge No to Windows 10 when I realized I can't change Administrator password offline, as I created MS account during setup. Big mistake of mine.
I think the economy and productivity and everything else that makes economy and work tick are way more complex than your simplification to no commute = massive gains for economy, companies and happy new future for everybody is coming.

I see it in abundance in every single discussion here and elsewhere - people who hate commute but for whatever bad/stupid reason ended up far far away and were wasting hours every day on it suddenly have extra time and its great. These people keep praising current state as the best invention since fire. Most companies aren't organized around that last time I checked.

Maybe its a very US thing and true there on really massive scale. But here in Europe its not like that, not that much at least. Most folks commute 20-50 minutes. That is for 2nd biggest city in the country, smaller are more effective.

There are massive issues right now. Physical fitness is rapidly declining. People are going less out, less sun exposure. Amount of mental issues is understandably shooting through the roof (saw some firures about 5x increase in some cases). Economy is going down the toilet, some parts of it will crash very hard, possibly unrecoverably in current generation. These are effects that will be around for very long time even if we have 100% cure for covid tomorrow for 1 cent per dose.

Plus what parent wrote is absolutely, 100% true - I see people tired from constant conf calls and full remote. Mailboxes are exploding, it becomes hard to track emails even few weeks old. Brainstormings are mostly gone, people became more robot-like. Whatever you gain from not commuting from that middle of nowhere you live in means nothing compared to all this. For companies and for economies.
Club de Cuervos

Except for some short phrases, the subtitles were very close to what was spoken in rapid-fire Spanish.

The problem with “La casa de papel” is that is a serious multi-layered plot with complex characters that requires a lot of thinking.

“Club de Cuervos” is entertaining and no thinking compared to it. However, the constant use of Güey or Wey and “no manches” may annoy you.
Looks like I misread your comment when posting my other reply (I was talking about one-to-one). Sorry about that.

I'm not sure what the few/many distinction is about, but I can guess: if they only said "one-to-many" it could be unclear whether "many" means "more than one" or "some sufficiently large number", so they include "few" to remove ambiguity. Said another way: "one-to-few and one-to-many" is just a different way to say "one to more than one". As far as I can tell the new guidelines don't use the few/many distinction anywhere and only mention both in this one sentence.
I think that you are exactly right. But it is also something that people dont want to admit out loud. Many people need to believe that promotions and hirings are fair. Admitting it is often not, or that it is actually semi fair only had other implications and hurts motivation.
I can't speak for the quality of the default subtitles on Netflix, but the "Language Learning with Netflix"[0] system is easily the most amazing new system I have run across for language learning. Access to excellent subtitles in the original language and learner's language, combined with a very smooth UI via a browser plugin, gives a wild experience. As a student, I worked through the first five minutes of Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) and every sound spoken exactly matched the subtitle. Maybe the quality degrades in other source material, but it worked fine for me so far. I take new words and phrases from the dialogue display and drop them into my personal Anki deck, so I can fix the new material in my mind.

Wow ... I'm ... I'm sure there's a better way to handle this.
Do mopeds usually respect those laws, or are they more like bicycles?
As an engineer that worked both at google and Facebook, I vastly prefer googles monorepo on perforce. Combining that with citc was pretty solid way to develop your project.

Hg is a bit of a nightmare in the wfh situation. Really slow, hangs for a long time if you haven't synced in a few days. Yes, im sure there are ways to tweak, but not sure if you can tweak them enough!
For the same reason people wait for midnight on new year.

It's an arbitrary thing people do for fun.
You appear to “get” the law game. Unfortunately, you don’t get the Internet game:

Any idea of this could run Snow Leopard?
I would be in favor of a number of working arrangements, ranging from working in a Bay Area office full-time(least favorite) to working from home most-time in an area that provides me with the chance to buy a home and have a reasonable commute to a satellite office.

I am absolutely, 100% against full-time WFH in an expensive, low-quality(no sound/thermal insulation) Bay Area apartment without a dedicated workspace.

> if your job can be done from home, it can be done from anywhere in the world

I will call anyone's bluff who says this. Do it. Good luck. If you haven't successfully done this already, there is a reason and you know it.

One final point is that anyone looking to judge my WFH productivity better take into account the endless procession of major disasters taking place outside my window. WFH in a pandemic with looting and massive wildfires is not the same as WFH in a 'normal' year.
That'd be about my assessment as well, though it's been a while since I programmed Java/C++ etc. I ported Vault's Shamir secret algorithm from Go to Elixir, and it was about 25% less lines of code. Though Python scripts tend to be shorter for small projects, bigger ones get more verbose when dealing with classes and data sharing, IMHO. Python scripting is also more prone to difficult debugging issues due to immutability and inconsistent/dated libraries. For example, a Python SPI library I tried for an IoT sensor deleted all of the items from the list of SPI bytes given to it... which took an hour to figure out as that was completely unexpected and I kept thinking my part was bad (though perhaps I'm too used to Elixir's immutability now).
This isn't necessarily true. For example, you can write GUI applications with Qt, QML, wxWidgets, GTK, IMGUI, or SDL without having to use Xcode, if you use a language like Python. I believe this applies to Electron, as well, but I haven't used it on a Mac.
It's hard to read this as anything but some form of what-aboutism.

However, I'll bite, whatever you think of NSA and DoD, because of FISA, congressional oversight, and generally centuries of respect for rule of law, you can't compare them to PRCs surveillance apparatus.
I know a trauma therapist. This is what she says:

If you're talking real trauma, I'd seek out a therapist licensed in EMD or EMDR. Data shows it's faster and more transformative that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It seems to work well for critical past events (rape, driving accident, etc). Sub-clinical trauma (like that often experienced by police officers) seems to respond if the event can be crystallized.

If you're talking about the trauma of something that isn't to that scale, say the trauma of being dissatisfied with how life is turning out, consider meditation.
Yeah, I agree. I miss my old routine too. I even have a dedicated office of sorts, and working from home is comfortable and convenient to me. But... I miss the commute. The bus I used to take wasn't particularly uncrowded, but I always managed to get a seat (thanks to having a particularly early schedule) and I used to take the opportunity to read (since each trip took about 40-45 minutes, that's about 1h30m of reading a day), and from time to time I would just put my book down and look at the window, which I always found relaxing even if it's the very same trip everyday. These trips, especially the one in the morning, were about the most quiet moments of my day (although headphones are a necessity, for sure). Reading at home is just not the same, after so many years of having that schedule.

On the other hand, I don't particularly miss the office. Sure, it's nice to have breakfast with my workmates from time to time, but I can live without it.
Most people when they think innovation they think in terms of product, not process. From a process pov modern software engineering exists on a planet created by Microsoft. Commercial EULAs, shrink wrap software, platform effects, developers as customers, etc, etc were mostly Microsoft innovations.

Microsoft executed. They executed mostly well and sometimes brilliantly. Because if the processes are good enough for long enough product innovation can be secondary.

Apple eventually became Microsoft and that's how they beat them.
The 3 engineers are just a representation of the user-tailored AI algorithms, that are trying to optimize user engagement and session duration.
No, that's how the metre is defined. The second is defined by the transition between two hyperfine states of cesium 133 (9,192,631,770 'oscillations').
Many plastics can't safely be reused.
No. A second is "The duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom."
If you go to Switzerland it opens your eyes a bit - there's no plastic recycling, there's only PET plastic recycling. If the bottle/whatever is not PET, it's not recycleble and you have to buy special, taxed bag that's used for "everything else" that gets burned/whatever. PET plastic can be recycled to lower grade plastic used for outdoor mats etc.

I was forced to WFH, same as most of my colleagues. Most who keep going to work don't really have much choice (apart from resigning for which ain't the best time now). What are you talking about?
Alameda comes to mind. Completely walkable, charming, great community feel. It's an island, so going over bridges or through the tube to go anywhere can be a bit of a hassle, but it's well worth it.
No. It asks you at first whether you want to use chrome, firefox or any other browser installed. You can choose an option once or always.
That and `catch em all` attitude being promoted
I am curious how does these online communities do content review to make sure it's not filled with all spams, porn or even illegal content?

This is meant to be satire, right? The percentage of revenues of the two examples you gave are nearly identical.
The blame is always shifted to the consumers, the logic being that consumers would make more sustainable decisions if they really cared about it, totally ignoring that it's either prohibitively expensive for many or almost impossible to judge the sustainability for many products.

What do you mean no solution offered? Tax non-recyclables at the source and tax them enough to dispose of those materials effectively and safely. And the markets will respond by switching to truly recyclable alternatives or else pass the cost on to consumers willing to pay more for a non-recyclables option.
But there is something wrong in harming billions of people just to help a few businesses.
replacing a wide and healthy social net with the family is probably one of the largest cultural diseases of American life of the last few decades

In a less abstract sense, roughly 50% of my close friends who did the the whole "move to the burbs, ditch the social life, start a family" and who seemed to go missing for years are now divorced. Roughly in line with the statistics I suppose.

I'd go as far as saying that in the majority of cases when people in their 20s or 30s do this it's some sort of mix of social pressure and biological clock panic than an actual authentic decision.
One of my favorite pieces of software :) . It definitely comes in handy when you really need to get that video
Coincidentally I was reading about this yesterday in the journal Science. They discuss concerns about "clicktivism", symbolic actions such as liking social media content. In short, you don't need to worry that people are substituting low-effort liking for real political action. Research shows that online political activities are positively correlated with offline political engagement. People who are strongly interested in politics tend to express that interest both online and offline. They also state that even low-cost digital activities can sum to substantial efforts.

There is an opportunity to improve this tech with better vision recognition systems. Already being worked on, but hasn't been implemented at large enough scale yet.
I'm on a Mac, but if your hardware/setup suits it this may work. On Chrome/Zoom I set the mic to be from the on-board from the laptop and the sound output to be the bluetooth device. The audio profile then will change for the bluetooth to high-quality instead of the headset profile.

Poorly, its either shovel so much shit against a wall to see what sticks (youtube) or you sorta watched this for 10 minutes to see if you liked it but you didn't but here is more (netflix).

The text in the reconstructed image in the third row looks different, the word phonomat is quite garbled, information looks a bit funny.
Establishment is always relative matter of age plus power and even a sickly irrelevant establishment is still an establishment. Landowning nobility were still an establishment even when industrialists were making more money for centuries and respectable families had to marry in overseas tycoons for money.

The United States is an upstart compared to European nations which existed for millennia. Google is still fundamentally young even though they have grown older.

Pedantically I would use "the" for the current eldest establishment with any power and "an" for any that are newer and even eclipsing.
Quantifying national responsibility for climate breakdown
This analysis proposes a novel method for quantifying national responsibility for damages related to climate change by looking at national contributions to cumulative CO2 emissions in excess of the planetary boundary of 350 ppm atmospheric CO2 concentration. This approach is rooted in the principle of equal per capita access to atmospheric commons.
Not only do you need a Mac, you have to pay Apple $100 a year for the right to distribute software to your customers, and you need an iPhone or iPad to complete the two-step verification on your developer account[1].

>"Hire someone who can do everything themselves."

To expand on this as a marketer that can "do all the things"...

This in many ways requires this person to be technical on some level. Perhaps not an engineer, but comfortable talking to one, someone who understand how tracking works at a technical level, and someone who can handle hands-on configuration of a CRM/ESP, ad platforms, tag management, analytics, etc., writing specs for developers where needed, and generally knowing enough to know when they are out of their depth technically to mitigate security and data liability risk.

The last one is important to ensure a company is adhering to privacy legislation. Often engineers do not know what sorts of data live in the martech stack, as their may not have access or know where to look.

While I agree with most of the rest of your points, I'd disagree with the budget and first channels. If a company's aspirations and timeline require a large budget, it can be pretty important to know that up front. There are definitely scenarios where those are out of line with expectations and reality. Also, paid media and things that are more easily controlled/measurable/scalable may indeed be more appropriate to get going quickly than things like content marketing which, while important (especially for B2B), is often a slower buildup. Again, it is very circumstantial. What works in one situation may not be the best choice for another, which is what a competent marketer will help sort out and devise tests around.
Some companies have made statements. Others like mine, a lot of people were remote already. So, in some cases, it seems a pretty safe bet.

Now, of course, you are betting to some degree that remote work will continue to be sufficiently popular that you can switch jobs if need be. But the concentration of a certain type of job in the Bay Area actually isn't that representative of job density in general.
I have to ask if this isn't the wrong end of the torso to recognize? I mean "ha ha butt recognition!" jokes aside, shouldn't it be able to dispense an amount of toilet paper proportionate to the mess to be wiped up?

Otherwise, this just smacks of Sovietism in sheep's clothes. "Here, Taxpayer, is the amount of TP you've been allotted! Pay homage to the market for its ability to provide you with cleanliness!"
It's not that hard. See for instance https://www.coursera.org/lecture/machine-learning/collaborat... on how to get started
I appreciate the effort the authors put to this post, but this is like saying DNNs are stacked logistics regression: the connection is superficial, and doesn't lead to deep insights about how they really work.
Because I know we're not going to get SnackNation forever.
Housing density is definitely a problem outside of the United States. Many countries handle it in much the same way, while others handle it by shoving their working class into what's basically a human rights violation. I've seen discussions of Singapore's good housing policy, for example, that fail to mention the worker dormitories with 10 or 20 people per room.

I certainly wouldn't claim the US has good housing policy, but there's no perfect solution to the conflict that arises when the market-clearing housing price in an area creeps above what most people can pay.
Looking at a clock from Earth through a telescope isn't as straightforward as you'd think.
The image you see of that clock is actually light (photons) emitted from Earth, which will take a while to reach you - like, 1 year, if you're 1 lightyear away. During that year, Earth has moved on, maybe blew itself apart. But you can't even tell, because information can't reach you faster than light :)
So you can only see Earth's past, not Earth's "now". The further you are, the more "now" loses meaning.
That is hilarious. Are any of those documents available online?
counsel has `counsel-org-goto` and `counsel-org-goto-all` to search and jump to any section in the current org file and all org files, respectively. However I think they only search in headers, not in content, so they might not be a full replacement for helm-org-rifle, but it could be worth a try.
