> I have to work with Teams every day and I can honestly say I've never worked with anything that bad.

They don't target users, they target the people making purchases. A feature goes in the marketing materials. Usability does not. "A full replacement for Slack!" works well because the guy making the decision doesn't use Slack or Teams and probably doesn't even know what they do.

Back when the world started falling apart, my university took a survey about remote education. As part of my feedback I told them they need to get better tools, because college students don't want to use clumsy enterprise software like Office 365. Obviously nothing came of it (and I didn't expect anything, but someone needed to tell them).
But what's the formula?

Is Musk perfect? No.

But, he has achieved an amazing amount. Calling him a "fraud" or putting him in the same category as Trevor Milton is clearly dishonest.

He is extremely polarizing, yes... And the cult around him is... Distasteful. But if you don't respect what he has achieved, then just what would it take?

As for removing templates, there are a few places where we specifically opted to use custom macros instead of std::variant, for compile time reasons, but mostly we do use templates quite a lot.

As I understand it, SSA makes good sense if you're serious about advanced optimisation, as it makes many optimisations easier to implement and faster to perform. If you're writing a simple JIT that is fast to execute and doesn't do advanced optimistations, you might want to avoid it.

The GNU Lightning JIT engine doesn't use SSA, for that reason, but Java HotSpot, .Net, and Mono, all use it internally, as do all major optimising ahead-of-time compilers (GCC, LLVM, etc).
I remember when it seemed like a PostScript Email to FAX gateway was going to be a revolutionary way of ordering pizza!

Then I got in trouble for accidentally revealing Sun’s secret multimedia “Email-to-Pizza” strategy to the internet.

It turned out that fax machines have a horrible time transmitting graphics with halftone gray scale patterns:

https://miro.medium.com/max/1000/1*EvKv1m2UbxuPJ1Mg9oGUqQ.pn...

>As it turns out, it takes a hell of a long time to fax a picture of a PostScript pizza, because the PostScript halftone scales and jaggies turn on and off and on and off so quickly and unpredictably that it’s extremely inefficient for the fax algorithms to compress, and very susceptible to line noise. Fax was just not designed for that kind of computer generated imagery!
Protecting the environment will have costs. On whom should those costs fall? (Both in terms of tax incidence and forgone economic opportunity)

That's why you get the left-right distinction.

(I don't think I've seen sincere right-wing environmentalism beyond a limited kind of NIMBYist habitat protection and some not very sincere blue-green Tory branding?)
Awesome comment. When you become old you’ll then be talking about the value of experience and how that makes business sense. You’ll switch because you think exclusively in terms of self interest.
You've got a few good ones in there. The Statue of Liberty comes from France of course. I believe Australia also has cowboys, but I can imagine the culture around it, including rodeos, is very American.

The others? Well, maybe. Most of them are not strictly limited to the US, but the US does tend to put a very unique spin on them. For-profit healthcare exists elsewhere, but medical bankruptcy might well be strictly limited to the US.

I'm willing to settle for medical bankruptcy being the most quintessentially American thing.

I find Teams honestly quite baffling. I can't tell what it is for, where to find anything, or what the intended way to publish any given task should be. It just feels like a giant splurge of features all randomly shoved together.

It seems to have a file section that shows OneDrive, but are those files actually the same as OneDrive or is there something different? There are "Files" in a bunch of other Teams sections but I am not sure if they are the same or not? There's a calendar which seems not to be linked to my Outlook calendar and actually just fails to load every time ..... there's even a section called "Teams" inside "Teams"! ... which has "Conversations" that seem to be separate to the "Chat" function in a different part of teams, and has a "Meet" function which I think is different to apparently the "Calls" function in another part of teams. It also has a Wiki in there but I don't know how that links to anything else ...
Putting flags on everything is definitely not just an american thing.

Head of Nikola, a G.M. Electric Truck Partner, Quits Amid Fraud Claims
> A good freelance dev can pull in about 80-100 euro/hour which leads to a monthly pretax income of >10k euro

When I did free-lancing work in the early 2000s, the rule of thumb was that a freelancer income of 1000 euro corresponds to an employee income of 500 euro, if you factor in expenses, sick days, holidays, time to do accounting, time between projects,...

Is that still true? If yes, the 10k euro don't sound that impressive anymore (but still good, of course, compared to the median)
You’re gonna hate me, but I have the answer: get up at 5am.

I know, I know, I sound like a douche already. I used to hate early mornings. Then I met my partner, and she’d get up early, and slowly it just happened. Now it’s me that sets the alarm.

Here’s the schedule: 5am wake up. Take a full hour to drink tea and read the news and eat some cereal or whatever. Go slow. Don’t go to the gym, that’s barbaric.

6am. Stretch a bit. 6:30am, sit down, start work. Ideally already have an idea of what you want to do – plan it the night before. DO NOT JUST OPEN YOUR EMAIL. By the time everyone else has settled in at 9:30am, you’ve already done all of the productive stuff.

It helps if you can block out your calendar until 11am, which I do, and it’s mostly respected. So I get from ~6am until 11am to myself. Magic.

On the topic of planning your day the day before, I can thoroughly recommend that as well. Check out the app Sorted3 (that’s a superscript for ‘cubed’) for iOS, that’s changed my life.

Oh, and of course if you’re up at 5am you need to be in bed early too. It’s 20:39 here in Canberra and I’m already tucked in. Night night. x
I'm just saying it's worth boycotting that app for this (and not just by women). That doesn't mean they shouldn't still be held liable. You can do both.
> Believe it or not all human beings care about the environment they live in

Most sociopaths and psychopaths will only care about their lifetime. They tend to drift to the top of social hierarchy [0][1][2], and exert disproportionate influence from there.

Climate change and leadership by older psycho/sociopaths are a particularly poisonous combination. Climate change is long term, but the sociopath's goal horizon shrinks with age. A 75 years old sociopath couldn't care less about ten years ahead, because it doesn't concern her personally. "Après nous le déluge!", a famous French saying, captures it fairly well. Rough meaning: "We'll be gone before the biblical downpour starts."

We can't keep psychopaths or sociopaths from the top of the social ladder. That's human nature. We might however succeed at blocking _all_ very old people from certain top spots on the social ladder. On the issue of climate change, I think we should try, because their personal interests are impossible to align with the general public's.

Have a look at the professional opinion of several prominent psychologists on the mental health of the current US president [3][4][5]. Then look at the net negative effect of his climate policies.

Interesting. Searched around and found [0] (and others with same info) but I suppose there'd be more information if digging deeper. They mention previous years costing $0.40 and $0.60 per month, not sure if the number includes capital investment rather than YoY costs of hardware/electricity etc. Point taken though.

Invisible mending is totally a thing. Most of the common early failure points of clothes are at seams.

The problem is more obsolescence than wear; "fast fashion" encouraging people to buy more new clothes leads to the old ones being disposed of.
Working towards what you like doing and what needs doing will automatically build a personal moat. So long as you are learning, you are building a moat.

If you are not learning, then you risk staying at your same safety level forever.

But none of that advice helps anyone, IMO. People who want to learn are going to learn, and people who want to avoid learning will avoid learning. It's not something you can really force on yourself without a ton of stress, and it'll backfire. You have to go at your own pace when the marathon is literally decades long.

I will agree that there are soft-skills to be learned from this, such as figuring out what your personal moat is. And perhaps you might be slightly more thoughtful when selecting a new job to somewhat influence your moat-building. But most people don't spend a long time selecting the right job. They get one that exists right when they need it because they need to pay the bills. And they very, very rarely job-search while they have a good job.

The lexer could disambiguate but that would require lookahead. I believe Python have a deliberate policy of keeping the parser simple.

But I just noticed C# support this, so it is not the same for all languages. Java doesn't, but then again you cant call methods on numbers in Java anyway.
I don't know if that strictly goes to what the article was talking about, but nevertheless:

Blockchains can prove that two parties once agreed on something, cheaply. That is remarkably valuable information (of such bricks economies are built). And it is truly remarkable that there is nothing in the blockchain that a government can do about it. Ditto anyone else.

I believe it is financial information and preference data that is difficult to share at the moment and that the article alludes to liberating. For example, donating to Wikileaks was extremely challenging via Paypal and other traditional money handlers. That obviously has both up and downsides.

This is new. I live in an age where my cooperation might be strictly necessary for somebody else to tax me. The practicalities haven't changed much, but the theoretical change is quite profound.

The problem isn't only the dynamics, but the regulation that comes with the technology.

In many countries, TV is highly regulated: can't advertise for alcohol or cigarettes, political speech time is measured to make sure each "camp" get the same exposure, etc.

There's no such thing on social media.

Same goes for Uber, Airbnb & co, by the way, although this is easier to regulate.

It's not coincidence. If you want something to work reliably, you need science. Regards of underlying system.
So you think it's all right to have your computer become a useless brick after 5 years because the other vendors makes it a brick after just 2 years?

It's also worth to note that at least on Android you can still side-load/install apps outside the play store while on Apple your device becomes totally useless/museum brick.

There are some mechanisms like that but I think this explanation, as well as that from the video, is layman psychology at best. Yes, there are factors or mechanisms that drive your desire for belonging, but it is a pretty unconvincing observation. It doesn't have to be tribalism to prefer being around people you trust.

But if so, being enlightened about the failures and limits of human psychology certainly would constitute a tribe of its own, no? Because it seems to be en vogue to have simple explanations. FOMO is more connected to the fear of the unknown and fear of loss in my opinion. A "tribe" would shield you of course, but it is mostly a sign of other needs not being met. Advertisers use it to their advantage for decades. Some appeal to their audiences to be the source of other peoples FOMOs. "think different" instead of "stay connected".

There are less suicides than in the 90s. That there is a suicide epidemic is a media scare. The main factor reducing the numbers seem to be economic perspectives, not some facebook group where taste was made illegal.

A much worse effect is that social media seems to push questionable characters in focus. Naive viewers and exploitative "influencers" can do quite some damage.
Wow, thank you! You nail down the issue with a very personal and relatable story.
I think only difference between you and I is that I never had a need to go into arguments over posts/tweets I considered wrong (I was a mazohist that just read them).
What 'got to me' was not the sheer untruthfulness of things shared on twitter nor insults that flow there and back, but the behavior of people that I think could and should know better.
Another lightbulb moment was the realization that any nuanced conversation after 5 to 10 comments goes into the extremes (usually two) that it can boiled down to. There are no different shades of gray, just black or white. In case of covid19, this changed to 3 comments.
Another lightbulb moment was the so called "twitter/facebook isn't real life" where I realized that in my surroundings I have a hard time finding a single person that has ever
participated in twitter ststorms or facebook comment fights.

In my experience, the best way to get people who have only seen the consumer side is in the third person.

We tend to underestimate the influence advertising (and media, etc.) have on us, but are relatively objective in observing the effects of advertising on other people, society, and such. Being influenced by advertising reads as being duped to most people, and we resist this conclusion.

This is a little different to many subjects, where we tend to empathize more with examples that have us as the object.
We are talking about technical abilities...if you discriminate outside of that, including age, I would whole heartedly call that the bad kind of discrimination.
Are you joking? The primary reason why one would want one certificate per device is because you are directly connecting to the device instead of letting the device connect to the vendor API which is already behind HTTPS. Your idea will just lead to a lot of bricked IoT devices once the vendor takes his certificate renewal API down.
You are talking about wealth (net worth), not about income.

What do u mean exactly?
I'm really not interested in constantly being recommended opposite viewpoints to mine. I'd constantly be getting climate denial content.

Most conspiracy theories I never look into, but the 5G one made me wonder how stupid can you be. So when they thought they had enough evidence to convince a judge and sued the Dutch government, I opened the evidence they supplied and read through it.

I've spent hours and hours trying to figure it out but there just isn't logic to it. It's all misreadings, misinterpretations, misconceptions, etc. Their references were false as well (saying the WHO claimed X in a paper from year Y, complete with a link that leads to a blog post about it but doesn't link the source, and the WHO site has no publications on that topic in the given year; turns out they had a paper about that topic one year later but it doesn't support the claim at all).

Yesterday I was looking something climate related up and came across a Belgian site, seemed like a newspaper, that denies the whole thing. Confused, I opened it and read a bit to make sure they were really calling it a hoax and I hadn't misunderstood. Yep, they did. They pointed to 500 scientists from around the world who signed something saying we should be less political about it and base it more on science, and then that science should include the uncertainties in their reports because all the climate models are super uncertain, and that it turns out the heating is going much less fast than previously claimed. I mean, all proper papers disclose uncertainties. And yes, we should be more science based and get the fuck on with decarbonizing. Then as for it not being so bad (it not going as fast), it's going super fast, I don't know where they got this.

No, I'm really not interested in this kinda garbage. For me the Youtube recommendations are straightforward: I click a video about maps, next I get more geographic analysis videos recommended to me. I'd rather not that someone feels obliged to make it insert opposite content (what's opposite to maps, flat earther stuff? Or just unscientific blabbering when what I'm mainly watching is objective/sciency stuff?).

Or do we want to only insert opposite viewpoints to those who believe in conspiracy theories? Who decides what's real and what's not? Why have the conspiracy theory content on the site at all if we know it's false? Can we not find the root of the problem: the people who make these videos, where do they get their info and misconceptions from?
