Meanwhile LGBT rights are pretty much universally agreed, and I don’t think that “LGBT support” is generally classed as a political view so much as an expected cultural norm (i.e. not showing support would elicit a severe backlash within the customer base).

This article seems so strange for me, as my experience is that out-of-the-catalogue houses are the first choice now (at least in EU). This is perhaps true here in Denmark, where IMO 90% of houses are catalogue houses that have been customized. That means that a variety of houses on offer from same supplier share same prefabricated walls, same type of insulation ect.
Same is true for Croatia, where people usually built hollow brick rohbau (walls+roof) first according to a custom design and then settle in on everything else.
Considering the difference in price between roughly the same house in Denmark in Croatia, I would say that manual labour is still a big cost driver, so most of cost reduction will either come from even more modularity (deliver an entire bathroom) or automatization.
Yes it makes sense from a technical standpoint but I was amused by this fact because Microsoft is supposed to be a vendor of programming languages and operating systems. And to build their own OS they go to the world of open source.

No worries.

You can stay in the UK for a further 5 years from the date you get pre-settled status and the deadline for applying is 30 June 2021, as long as you were living in the UK before 31 December 2020.

The settlement scheme is basically just a mobile app for you to take a selfie, scan the tag in your passport using NFC and answer a few questions like "Are you currently in the UK?", "How many years have you been living here?", "What's your NI Number?" ..they will then check your employment records electronically.

So apply after you get your NI No. by letter and your limited company is setup. You will usually get a decision a few weeks later which is just an email, explaining how you can prove your status online to others (like landlords or employers) if needed.

Regarding taxes, google for "optimal directors salary and dividends uk" and you will find loads of articles by accountants explaining the how and why in detail.

Living in London might just be cheaper or similar as Berlin after tax savings. Because I believe in Germany, taking profits out of your company will incur an additional 25% personal tax whereas in the UK, dividends are only taxed at 7.5% up to a threshold:

But don't take my word for it, the German tax system looks like a nightmare.

Besides being unfair to both managers and politicians, that analogy doesn’t work. Refactoring by definition does not affect the visible behavior of a program. The judicial system is not a computer and cannot just happily start executing a newly refactored program. This is doubly so in common law jurisdictions that lean heavily on precedents and case law.
Tag me as a nostalgic (even if never used an IBM terminal, I did arrive to computes as a child at the 286 and DOS times).

Have been using the version of this font that comes in the Debian repos like two years ago, but I always turn back to Terminus font.

I got in love many years ago with Terminus, when I did configure my thinkpad T41 in a way, that TTY1 and a full screen xterm, did look exactly the same, with the terminus font. They were indistinguishable except for the cursor.

I like to try new fonts from time to time, but I always return back to Terminus.

I was using 3270 even out of the terminal (for the file manager, GTK apps, fluxbox menus, etc) but at the end I think it did cause visual fatigue.

With Terminus doesn't happen to me (same computer, setup, etc, just changing the font).

> This idea that something that is (at most) a mild inconvenience

The argument in the paper is that it's not just a mild inconvenience, but rather a complete showstopper for many couples, that they can't afford a larger car so they simply stop having children.

The argument also isn't between car seats and letting your baby crawl around the floor, it's about the upper age limit for kids that also have some degree of protection from regular seatbelts. AAP recommendations are that kids should be in a five-point restraint car seat until age 8. Nobody does this. Should it be legislated?

> Those better ways I mentioned do not require a government body, or use of tax externalities.

They do if the profit margins are meaningfully lower. All it takes is a few actors to ignore costs that have no financial incentive to outgrow and overtake all of the competitors.

Behaving better on your own is nice, but that’s not a societal solution because people throw away a lot of unnecessary niceties when the going gets tough.

A majority of the population wants to stop climate change but the lack of a carbon tax means people still burn massive amounts of fuel and pay nothing to offset it. Instead we are taking this path of carbon-shaming and “do your best to reduce emissions” and it’s failing spectacularly. Without pricing externalities, you end up with assholes flying on private jets thousands of miles to give a talk on the importance of dealing with climate change without ever even offsetting their own footprint.

People are consistently too stupid and too selfish across all populations to A) have even a rough grasp of their inputs/outputs from/to the environment and B) to make meaningful sacrifices if it actually requires a significant change in lifestyle. Just look how many people still buy gas cars that cost as much as electric cars because of “range anxiety”.

Carol Sandford’s methods are likely not having any meaningful impact because they ignore the hard realities of economics. Behaviors need incentives and not using the government to implement those incentives through taxation/credits/fines just means trying to do it through social pressure. Social pressure is slow and ineffective at scale.

> What? I _still_ often hand wash clothing. It really isn't that difficult. People in many parts of the world hand wash clothing to this day.

Presumably, you are not hand washing everything and not heavily dirty cloth. Washing by hand something with a bit of dust on it is one thing, washing everything is something completely different.

The hand washing in traditional villages took full day in a week and it was physically demanding work. The detergent they used were also much less effective. Bonus: I remember ad from museum on small handle operated washing machine: you turn the handle only for three hours and it is clean!

Turning handle for three hours is perceived as the easies less of work alternative. The history of washing machines was surprisingly interesting, but the last thing it suggested was that hand washing was overall easy. It was quite the opposite.
Actually SSRN is a preprint server, so this has not been peer reviewed.
I should have been more clear. By saying "I don't understand their methodology," I was hedging around the statement "their paper does not contain an adequate explanation of their methodology due to the nature of the complex systems they are modeling. By omitting information on how they constructed their controlling variables (and indeed the full scope of what variables they controlled for), the authors (perhaps inadvertently) cast doubt upon the conclusions they draw from their results."

Compare this with college education, where student loan companies pick up the bill — you can see where I’m going with that analogy.)

The core message I found from this article was that, to be a valuable participant on the discussion of improvement in society, when it comes to industry, is: based on Chesterton's Fence principle, we need to inform ourselves of the good industrialization have brought us (and accept it), and from there acknowledge their short-comings/side effects so that an proposed solution does not undermine the good that was added by it. This includes pointing out where industrialization is not doing much good (such as fashion and its CO2 emission as someone pointed out)

Isn't being pedantic about each bullet point (that obviously can't go in to fine detail because of short summary) kind of ignoring the overall point? Is the core argument such an emotion inducing controversial point that justify almost straw-man-like criticism?

edit: I now understand that it seems to be a bit of a politically heated topic. For me, a non-american, I saw similarity in "Industrial Literacy" and what Hans Rosling[1] told us a couple of years ago: "Hey, it is not as bad as you think"

Wow. For me, this would trigger an immediate resignation. It's not just an interruption to my sleep, but my wife's too. Does "management" get woken at 3am? If they want 24 hour cover, they should do their jobs properly and plan for it by opening at least one office in another time zone. If they want fewer outages they should look at their engineering practices, increase % work on technical debt etc. But this is just bad management. Of course, depending where the company is located, it may seem easier to get fewer outage minutes by throwing engineering teams under the 24x7 bus.

One more reason I'm happy I live in Europe: the working time act.

Edit: I don't mean to suggest that Europe doesn't allow for shift work, overtime, on-call etc. It obviously does. But it specifies minimal "work rest periods", eg: 11 hours continuous rest per day. This means that if you get paged at 3am, you don't have to turn up to the office until 2pm the next day. There are allowance for exceptional circumstances like emergencies, but an engineering-wide change to working hours does look like "an emergency".

It’s not just leaders, but constituents as well who propped up the overly heavy-handed/authoritarian response to COVID. Even pointing out just the flaws inherent to relying on skewed CFRs from limited testing would result in friends/colleagues viciously attacking me for not being “compassionate” or speaking out of turn for not being a public health expert.

Some of this behavior I observed may have been due to our proximity to Kirkland (the early nursing home breakout), but there was an element of mob mentality, a perfect storm of ignorance + fear + reliance on authority, that I was shocked and dismayed to experience. After a short while, I just stopped discussing COVID with anyone because of the utter inability of people to calmly discuss complex issues and engage in a joint truth seeking mission.

Unfortunately even with all we know now, I don’t think people have revisited how COVID should be managed or how the risks should be perceived, in part due to politicization of the issue and in part due to anchoring bias. Our leaders are supposed to lead the masses through such events without such flaws, but for all the claims from leaders about “listening to science” and “looking at data”, they’ve simply failed us as you pointed out.
Anecdotally this rings very true for me. Dealing with car seats is one of the most annoying and cumbersome issues of being a parent in the US.

However I will also say, for the sake of other parents who may be in a similar boat: Diono Radian carseats fit 3 across in our Mazda 3, which isn't exactly a big car. So if you find the right seat, you can make it work.

The biggest problem is the infant period where they have to face backwards. For that we went with a Cybex Aton 2, which was sufficiently "vertical" that the front seat passenger could sit comfortably. Everything else we tried required the front seat to be shoved way too far forward.
Surely you meant barley.

I would like to argue that traders will always be necessary. The bulk of a trader's job is indeed automated. However models only work within their specified boundaries, and there are plenty of cases that require trader intervention. Also what you are seeing more of is that traders generate the ideas and logic that is used to fine tune these algorithmic models.

> The rationale for opening 999,998 doors in my example versus the 1 door left, is that in both examples, Monty Hall opens every door except the one you're on, and 1 other door. It happens that in the normal Monty Hall, if you open every door except the one you're on, and 1 other door, you have only opened one door.

And the rationale for opening 1 other door in the million door example is that in both examples the host is opening 1 other door. The normal Monty Hall problem is usually formulated such that the host opens 1 other door, not that he opens all other doors. As you noted, the two formulations are equivalent in with 3 doors, but with more than 3 doors, they're not. I just don't see why it's "intuitive" that if the number of doors is increased, the natural extension of the game is that the host opens all other doors that don't have the prize. In fact I'd argue the opposite.

Imagine an actual Monty Hall game with 4 doors. The contestant opens 1 door with a goat, and the host might open (a) 1 other door with a goat or (b) 2 other doors with a goat. Both are valid, reasonable, but different extensions of the game. In both versions, the best strategy for the contestant is to switch[1], because in both versions the host is giving her extra information. But in version (b) he's giving her much more information than in version (a). Of course it's much easier to intuit in version (b) that switching is better, but it's not clear to me why version (b) rather than (a) is the natural 4-door analog to the 3-door Monte Hall game. If a 4 door version were played in real life, it's far more likely IMO that version (a) would be played. In (a) the host gives a little bit of extra info where the prize is, without giving away the solution. And in this case you need a much better model to see why this is the case in stead of relying on intuition and analogy.

[1] A usually unstated assumption in most formulations is that the host must open another door with a goat if the contestant initially chooses a wrong door. In an actual TV show the host will likely have discretion whether he opens another door at all, to increase suspension and not become predictable in repeated games. In this case the problem becomes much more difficult as you need to model the strategy of the host. All of thise and pretty much any other solutions and explanations on pretty much every forum is already extensively documented in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Other_host_...).

Partial clone is currently support at least by both GitHub and GitLab. While still maturing, you could filter for example all large blobs for local development, or only fetch certain sub trees. See also the Git docs: https://git-scm.com/docs/partial-clone, or GitLabs docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/git/partial_clone.html

GitLab will continue to make investments in it for at least the next year as it's a big issue especially for gaming companies.
