He does it after hours. Helping someone out with mental issues and keeping him stable ( he is a good employee after all), might not be the worst decision :)

If you're going to get rid of every employee with issues, you shouldn't hire anyone. Social affairs are the most difficult in being an employer, for this person in particular a stable "relation" might improve things.

He obviously has more than normal issues, but he's still a good employee who accomplished a lot in a short time.

Also notice that the op didn't mention the option to fire him. So the only other way is to "help him".

But isn’t the beauty of Matrix that one can easily connect and bridge different networks? I’m think it’s difficult to equate a distributed service to fragmentation. The fragmentation is in the choice of platform / protocol.
>Better to assume all PII and PI even if not identifying, belongs to the user.

I agree from a liability standpoint, from a company's perspective. From a user perspective, better to assume all information that can be captured will be, it will eventually be available to all humanity and it doesn't belong to you.
I completely agree.

I understand the economics and problems with print, but nothing beats getting a printed magazine in the newspaper every so often.

I still get the daily newspaper on paper for that reason, along with the Economist, New Yorker, and Atlantic. I might be a dinosaur, but I'm a happy dinosaur.

Overall really good, I picked it up pre alpha and haven’t needed to change that part of the codebase too much since then so can’t tell you how much has improved, it was stable enough for me even then. It’s extremely flexible and doesn’t require you to buy in completely, I’d recommend trying out a small framework first to see how it could work for your team. It suffers from the various early adopter type issues, not many third party packages etc but the jet brains docs and tutorials are pretty good, compile time also isn’t the fastest yet but they’re working on it. Kotlin’s async model can tale a bit to wrap your head around if you’re new to it too. Interfacing with the host platform is also pretty painless compared to the react native or flutter process.

5 Tips To Stop People Pleasing (Richard Grannon, edited down to 15 minutes)

If you're a people pleaser, you attract narcissists like a magnet. If you had narcissists in family, you develop a blind spot to this and are mostly unable to spot it. I STRONGLY recommend the DoctorRamani channel for that, she's a professor specializing in narcissism.
it would result in a federated system, just like email, where communication between europeans stay in europe, and only intercontinental contacts go across the atlantic.
I’ll try to be succinct - you have tools to help people both in a professional capacity and a personal capacity. When you start commingling those interactions as an employer, particularly with those suffering from psychological issues, you are taking on potentially ruinous risks that get exponentially worse because of your level of authority and responsibility. I could share stories.

You need to act quickly and decisively. Letting him do his thing is not an option, as an employer, manager and/or owner. This will only get worse if you allow it to play out. Considering the lines that have already been crossed I don’t think there’s any way for you to reset the relationship. Let him go and add whatever toppings you need to feel good about it - references, referrals, do a severance in exchange for indemnity against any claims, but gtf out of the relationship and don’t look back. Yeah, I empathize with your good intentions as well, but learn from this and don’t let it become an even worse lesson. Define (for yourself) the lines that can’t be crossed ahead of time so in future you bring more structure to your rehabilitation program. Write back in 6mo and let us know how it turns out.

While that generation lived long and fairly healthy lives (possibly because the weaker members of it were weeded out by the war) the current generation of seniors certainly looks and behaves much differently. My grandparents at 65 looked and behaved old. My parents at 65: much less.

What exactly is up with the name “ACME”?

I remember as a kid there was an ACME in my town which was one of a chain of grocery stores, but in Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons it was a mail-order company that would send Coyote all kinds of crazy devices (which the real world ACME did not tend to have on hand).

Now, as an adult, there’s a Theatre company in my city called ACME and it’s also the name of a standard for requesting SSL certs, and now this guy has a joke about his Klein bottles being made by ACME.

So what’s up?
Twitter is a cultural masterpiece. The medium is rapid-iteration, information-dense, with checkpoints. The community is 100% selective: if your Twitter feed sucks, only you are to blame since you start with no follows and your feed only shows things from the people you follow, and there is no societal conflation of the notion of relationship and following. It permits you to restrict yourself to your bubble or to open yourself to the world.
It's also possible that some Nader voters wouldn't have entered a second choice, or that the balance of 1st and 2nd choices between Nader and Gore would have resulted in a non-monotonic outcome (i.e. some group of voters cause, for instance, Gore to lose to Bush because too many of them entered Gore as their first choice; that can actually happen with RCV, which is why I am uncomfortable having the integrity of our democracy depend on that particular voting system).

I don’t think a soft vs hard no has much to do with respect (and I’m not sure why you think respectful working relationships aren’t possible). A hard no is just a definitive answer, and can be delivered as respectfully as you like. A soft no is usually an “I would if not for...”. Which some people will simply read as an invitation to remove blockers, or correct your mistaken prioritization decisions, so that you can deal with the more important issue of what they want you to do.

The Reddit client Apollo also comes to mind for me. There are many Reddit clients out there to be sure but I find this app to be in a league of its own. I truly envy its developer with their large, well engaged userbase and creative freedom. God forbid Reddit tightens up the API someday or forces ads to be displayed.

I think the real answer is more banal than that: most sites just installed the first Wordpress/Drupal cookie banner plugin they could find, maybe themed it a little, and called it good.

Also, most sites would rather you accept cookies than not do so, that's why they're giving them to you. But I don't think most websites rely on surveillance in any meaningful way, the landscape is just guided by the ones that do.

Well, this story doesn't strike me as a shining example of "law and order" working.

I think you underestimate the psychological effect of constantly being treated as a disposable guest worker; there's a difference between that and working off-shore or being an expat treated as an equal. As I mentioned in my other reply[1] it is a "good deal" for many Indonesians in a way, but it comes at a price, a price which strikes me as quite needless as well.

I’m not sure about others, but usually I find myself digging in to post history to ensure the user is blessing us with their "deep knowledge", always lacking sources with any merit, while chastising those with opposing views for being sheep who can't look for answers outside their precious scientific method.

There's quite a few of them here these days, and comments like yours don't always pass the smell test.
Hey there! Tables PM here -- thanks for writing an honest opinion about what factors you're considering before wanting to use it for a business; I really appreciate that feedback and it's very helpful for us to hear.

I know our team would love to have people try Tables for lightweight work tracking use cases, even if it's not for a mission-critical business need. At the end of the day, we want Tables to help people and businesses make work a little easier, especially with covid forcing many to digitize and work remotely. If we're able to create a lot of value, that'll make for a strong case to graduate Tables into a larger Google product area, and we're only going to be able to do that with feedback from folks like yourself who can apply a healthy dose of objectivity. :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, and we hope you'll give Tables a little time (even Keep took several years before finally joining G Suite)! I'll also take that feedback on the "beta" label back to the team.
The less you know, the easier it is to have a strong opinion.
Barely succeed It's easier – Maciej Ceglowski
Sorry to spoil the party here but I wouldn’t call it excellent. I need to set environment variables and PYTHONPATH in 3 places (for the integrated terminal, for background processes and for the debugger). New environments are only detected after restart of the UI and It doesn’t Index or allow go to definition for libraries downloaded via pip most of the time. Also no refactoring support...

This is really frustrating. Am I doing something wrong?
The language is not the problem: A Kotlin Android project will have the same number of files.

With gas prices so low and likely to remain as such until the economy recovers, ICE cars are a better short term investment(on a personal level. I'm not counting externalities or AGW here).

There's something about Musk that rubs me the wrong way, but I do hope he succeeds in making electric vehicles the norm. That said, ICE cars won't die until we force them to die with carbon taxes and other disincentives.
If he has mental illness or home problems, he might not be able to handle those on his own, and might not have the wherewithal to seek out what meager public safety net exists.

Its possible he just needs a pastime caregiver... call it a personal secratary, hired out of his pay, to help him get his housing and psychological care situation straightened. Hopefully, his income is high enough to live off and pay for someone like that (since I understand that generosity can only go so far).

Obviously, I would ask him his opinion on this sort of arragenement, if you and him are both willing to go this far for a #3 option.
Mono reimplemented WinForms from scratch, and any port of WPF would also have to be a from scratch reimplementation. Same for SwiftUI.
Well, FWIW after decades of programming, I find it useful to include a lot of comments. I also find that they get in my way.

If you've ever read "Programming Pearls", you've seen how code that looks fine can have all sorts of subtle issues. In my experience, this is common, not rare. We just miss most of it.

When I go back over code I've written, I see new things every time, sometimes because I've used the code in practice (different in various ways from what I expected), sometimes just with "fresh eyes", sometimes with "newbie eyes" ("Why would I do B before A..?"). I notice things I missed before. I miss things I noticed before.

And very often bugs exist because I didn't think of something. As soon as I think of it, it's not enough to eliminate it in code and pretend I was right all along, I want to leave a note pointing out the thing I overlooked, even though it might sound obvious when stated.

Etc. So many little things I learn about the code over time. I can write them down or leave future readers to the whims of fate. If I'll be the future reader, I write them down right where they are most relevant.

I also want to be able to glance over my code and quickly know exactly how it works. I don't want to figure anything out if it can just remind me. So, yes, definitely my comments are higher level than the code, to make them quicker to comprehend at a glance, but they sometimes drop down from the "why" into the "how".

So then, I have lots of useful comments that for my own code, I'm definitely going to keep. But the comments accumulate as the knowledge accumulates, and it can become annoyingly cluttered. Sometimes I want to see them, and sometimes I don't. (I always try to find ways for the code to "absorb" some of my comments, breaking a composite expression into steps with explanatory variable names, for example, but there are still lots of comments.)

So, I want more sophisticated showing and hiding of comments from my code editor. I want to click a key and make all comments vanish. Nothing but the code, neat and tidy. Another click, and I see abbreviated comments, remember this, watch out for that, consider whatever.... Then maybe a mouse click on a link in one of the comments to bring up more details. Ah, yes. Key click, and all comments gone again.

VS Code, I'm hoping....

echoing this, getting to a "everyday discussions doable" level for the spoken language is a relatively quick affair. There are very few sounds in the language, and the hardest thing for native-english speakers is perhaps the double-vowel timing and like trying to decipher loan words/overwrite the "original pronunciation"

The writing system is hard, but learning it helps complement your vocabulary in the same way that learning greek and latin prefixes/suffixes expands your english vocabulary.

Not even to get into the fact that, as a high context language, you can get away with extremely simple sentences and rely on context way more than in other languages.
in quantitative marketing, the equivalent sort of discussion centers around revealed preferences and (choice-based) conjoint analysis. because of that, i'm partial to score voting with something like a 7-point scale (e.g., absolute best, good, acceptable, average, unenthusiastic, unfit, absolute worst).

but for any of this to matter, we need more than 2 choices, so the bigger issue is breaking the stranglehold of the two-party system (either by getting rid of parties, or adding many more legitimate parties to the fold), which also means we need serious campaign reform (which the supreme court seemingly opposes, and might oppose even more soon).
Clearly a biased article. "Opinion" doesn't mean you can just let in all you biases.

But is there any truth to this -

> "This is a toxic arrangement. The tactic shields tech companies from accountability. It allows giants like Amazon and Tesla an opportunity to transmit their preferred message, free of risk, in the voice of a given publication. "

>"If the company later reverses course or modifies its position, the egg is on the reporter’s face, not the company’s. "

You can simply attack back, we were lied to by a representative “on background” about this case, if this is a tacit being used.

But I suspect it's in the Opinion piece authors head. Evidence? The Authors personal stories are not this.

You can't leave him alone and hope it works out. He has mental issues that need managing, and after dark those issues aren't being managed in a helpful way. You could just as well say you don't need design or a coding standard or SCM or CI and just hope it works out. Same principle.

He's reluctant to move out because the office has become his haven of sanity and security, where the other people help ground him and distract him from his issues that creep back like demons in the night. Most likely he's getting more and more scared as this goes on, helplessly watching this slow motion train wreck progress, fearing the worst and also feeling powerless to stop it.

If you just leave things as-is, he'll slowly degenerate and will eventually start having problems during the daytime as well, which will make his co-workers fear and dislike him, and that will spell the end.

He needs help from a trained professional. Helping him get that professional help, and then being a support while he's getting that help is the most promising approach to keep him on the team. He WILL need to move out at some point (soon), and he WILL need a support group and also people he can just be with (loneliness exacerbates the problem).

Get two appointments with a professional after explaining your situation. Send him in alone to the first one, take him home, then go back for the second session to talk to the professional about their opinion on how and if you can make this work. Ideally you should do this twice in order to reduce the chance of a professional who's bad at their job. You have to decide how far you're willing to go (after talking to a professional) and make those boundaries clear, because otherwise you're needlessly taking your entire company down choppy waters that will harm him, you, and your company.

VSCode lacks many of IntelliJ's features so it would act as a text-editor with naive auto-complete better. With plugins and presumably an LSP link, you can get some degree of functionality but it does not compare in total.

I would not write Java anywhere but IntelliJ. Any long time IntelliJ+Java user has macros and templates written so that boilerplate is automatic. `psvm` is built-in, as is `sout`, but when I wrote a lot of Java I had ones for other common patterns at my workplace.

I sat on a jury with a public defender. He ran circles around the prosecutor. It was pretty interesting to see and completely unexpected based on what I've heard about public defenders.

One relatively easy fix is to bump up the budget for public defenders, including a decent pay increase. You'll attract better talent and have more of them so they aren't as overworked.

I interpreted the situation the GP described as a policy meant to enable bigoted discrimination. The bad part is the bigotry, not the discrimination.

Discrimination meant to relieve the effects of past bigotry on disadvantaged people is not a bad kind of discrimination. Meritocracy isn't a fair competition if some families already got a head start before it was decided the rules should be made fair and were allowed to keep it.

The thing I wish I had known originally is that Japanese talk shows are probably the best source of "normal spoken Japanese" out there. Definitely better than youtubers (TV people speak with better enunciation and less weird net slang), and 100x better than any anime.

On top of that the shows tend to have a lot of text on screen to emphasize points etc, and will cover really easy to understand topics.

It might be boring/low brow, but you'll absorb a lot more in shorter amounts of time IMO. And like... who wants to read the news?
What has Jake said about this?
1.) Jake should not be project lead. That position requires mental stability and social skills Jake does not posses. Jake as project lead is likely harming people under him. Do talk with those people about impact Jake has on them and how to mitigate it.

2.) Jake is mentally ill and needs professional to look at him. Regular therapy and all that. Feel free to make it condition for employment.

3.) Telling him to find apartment and to pay for damage he caused is completely fair.

You can keep Jake without him being lead and with both him and you taking his mental health seriously. You cant have there a lead who makes holes in the walls and screams without the rest of office being affected.
