>The distinction between the beginning and end of my work day.

Just log off at 5pm or 4pm or whenever you have done your contracted working hours.

I rarely end up in a meeting which goes over my usual working hours. But otherwise I just log off. I don't understand how someone can work longer hours unwillingly when it's entirely in your control.

I guess it depends on how your remote working is implemented. For me I remote in. For others it's a VPN. But either way, cut off all communication avenues until the next morning.

>When someone of greater rank than me in an inconvenient time zone wants to have a meeting with me involved, I have to attend. I’ve practically lost all my mornings from 6am - 9am, 3-4 days a week.

The mistake was attending this even once. Now you've shown a weakness in that you'll attend a terribly scheduled meeting. You need to bring this up, it's not fair to be in work at 6am if that was not the norm before COVID. If your days started at 9am in the office, your days start at 9am at home.
Actors don't avoid action scenes because of lack of time. But because...

1) Doing your own stunts steals work from the stunt team, who are payed per stunt. It's greedy and narcissistic because...

2) An injured star can shut down (temporarily or even permanently) a whole production.

3) The vast majority of films made in the 'West' are not action films, and the vast majority of action films are not martial arts films.

4) There is no single 'western' cinema. Hollywood has numerous directors, some workmen, some auteurs, and European cinema has enormous diversity.

5) There are indeed terrible directors and DOPs who use confusion to paste over the gaps in their own capacity to convey action. They're not anything like a majority, and are outnumbered by more classical directors like Spielberg, Fincher and Nolan, who have an excellent grap of visual space, pacing and blocking.

6) Every frame a painting is fantastic. Perhaps you should watch more than one episode?
33 years later and the backbone of the Internet - BGP - is still the no-permissions mess. Exactly as described in the snippet above.
> I don't want this to sound like a criticism, but I would like to understand your point of view: do you really consider this a reason for choosing a language over any other?

Absolutely yes.

I no longer consider a programming language finished unless it has at least tab-complete and proper debugging support. Inline popup doc-comments are nearly mandatory too.

Not designing a new language for modern tooling is a cardinal sin. It's giving up decades of progress for... what exactly? Some sort of ascetic purity?

One disappointing design aspect of Rust specifically is that it has a tendency to "hide" functions unless explicitly imported. This makes things difficult for IDE tab-completion. It gives the false impression that some functions are missing, when in fact they were simply not imported into scope.

The language seems to be designed for developers that know ahead of time what they will or will not use, to the finest detail, before they even start typing code.

I've only ever met one programmer that could do that: start at the top of the file and type continuously, left-to-right and top-to-bottom without editing, without pause, without having to go back and fill in anything he had missed. Let's just say he was a "special sort" and leave it at that.

The rest of us are much more productive with IDEs and debuggers.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s message to Cambridge about his plans for Arm
> Having build and push as part of the same job is frustrating and I view it as a sign that a CI system is built with the expectation of having everything happen post commit by shoveling money into a CI auto-scaler

No, the idea is to build and push images you can test directly afterwards in the same conditions. With cache and such, build times shouldn't be too long

Gitlab CI just runs shell commands, it's pretty trivial to pull the same image its using in the job, and run the same commands locally.

If you have long CI times, that can hinder development productivity and should be improved as much as possible, or a local replica of the CI needs to be created.
Fantastic project! The ability to transform serial compiled languages to run atop an async engine is great.

The examples, though, remind me more of Go routines and CSP rather than actors. They appear to be passing channels around to communicate which is very similar to but different than a mailbox open to any other process. Is that just a temporary approach? One of the best aspects of BEAM is OTP and supervision trees (linking processes) alongside flexible process naming. I'm not sure how channels would mesh with that. Granted this looks early stage and maybe you're planning on building mailboxes or process links or similar.

Also, you might consider providing support for a binary message passing format like Message Pack or CBOR. Excited to see where Lunatic progresses!
"The polyester, acrylic, nylon and polypropylene fibres were present in samples collected on the mountain and in the valley below.

"Some were present in samples from the Balcony of Mount Everest which is 8,440m (27,690ft) above sea level - representing the highest recorded microplastics ever found on Earth."

This is awful. Eventually i imagine the only trace of human existence will be microplastics. What a legacy.
Ironically, if the islanders had built good runways instead of mockups, they would get more airplane arrivals. :)

In Indonesia today, local tribes have a habit of making the jungle and hill runways for aid too short, soft and tree-ringed, resulting in perpetual accidents affecting the long-term viability of cargo and passenger flights.

(Their huts are often made of wrecked airplane wings and fuselages.)

In WW2, the Chinese government charged the US a fortune in gold to build the Chengdu B-29 runway using 70,000 laborers with hand tools, which had to be about twice as wide and twice as long as any previous runways. The Chinese runways turned out to be too far from Japan, so they were largely abandoned after nearer islands were captured.

It is ok. People like you are the worst.

Most of those interruptions would have been avoided if you can just learn to use the search function in you mail client and Google.
This is the solution. Hiding our heads in the sand saying meat is bad means ignoring our biology. Give me meat, give me vegetables, don't give me artificial mixtures filled with flavor enhancers and preservatives because we've decided human bodies don't need meat and animal protein.

The only way is find out how to grow an indistinguishable piece of muscle meat (and organ) in a lab, without animal suffering. Though in an ideal world sustainable animal husbandry would be best, but would never work in our hyper-capitalistic hyper-consumeristic reality, so let's find a compromise.
Zero is divisible by any integer except by itself.

RISKS has a more complete description and explanation, from Hubbard himself:

Failing to find anything that might suggest that rwall would do anything nasty beyond the bounds of the current domain (or at least up to the IMP), I tried it. I knew that rwall takes awhile to do its stuff, so I left it running and went back to my office. I assumed that anyone who got my message would let me know.. Boy, was I right about that! After the first few mail messages arrived from Purdue and Utexas, I begin to understand what was really going on and killed the rwall. I mean, how often do you expect to run something on your machine and have people from Wisconsin start getting the results of it on their screens?

Not sure about the OP, but people are now scheduling meetings earlier and later in the day in my company. Previously, I would never have 8am meetings as I would only get to the office by 930. People just knew not to schedule before then. But now, the big boss starts working and slacking at 730 and often schedules stuff for 8am. And we do video calls all the time, so have to be presentable for those meeting.

On the other hand, research schedules are all over the place and people invariably end up scheduling syncups at 6 or 6:30. Pre-pandemic, I would be at a local pub with coworkers at that time!
"P implies thesis (proof) hence it suffices to prove P: (proof of P)" is a completely valid proof step, and is backwards chaining.
Looks that it has many features but the examples are based on other parts of the library so one needs other examples to explain the first ones.
Just inputting some arrays or funcs to a method would be more intuitive IMHO.
Yes. I wonder whether a push for something like small modular reactors, starting in say 1973, might have got us a real solution. Seems a bit late now, but would love to be proved wrong on that.
Thank you. Completely misread that.
0 is divisible by every integer.

Personally, I stuck to the 40K best practice recommendation for the basic web page as a target, which was in place when I started. Modified to up to 140K including webfonts. Notably, this is without images.

(This is a flexible target, depending on the complexity of a page. E.g. for a "bloated" page, a fully styled video display for competition winners showing 200+ entries and 280+ individual videos in categorized views is about 250K, including a few images, two and a half font families and the Vimeo Player SDK, but excluding the load of any external video streams. However, with compression we still manage the 140K mark.)

Then reality hits: Client insists on a full-width photographic hero image as it's still 2014. Usual controversies about a full-size intro video (autoplay, of course), we must have this highly intrusive chat asset installed, etc, etc… – And we easily blow the 1MB limit.
Exactly. Before covid my life revolved around a cycling group, hiking groups, two running clubs.

Now it's all be taken away.

Unfortunately the probability of failure also scales up.

Let's say you bought good hardware and the probability it will fail is x.

Let's say you buy a hundred of those. The probability that one of them fails is now 100x. You just increased the probability of failure a hundredfold. You will need a load balancer who can detect failure and not forward to that machine anymore. The load balancer can fail, too. Now it's 101 fold. You also need a separate database if you share sate. 102 fold. Make it redundant. 103 fold. Add router / switches. 105 fold. Make those redundant. 107 fold.

I have never used more than one crappy PC for any project of mine, and some of those have had/have pretty substantial load on them. When I say one server, I mean one PC but with two power supplies and RAID storage. I'm not trying to tempt fate here.

But I have no devops team, no admins juggling failing machines, I don't have racks. I have one slot in a rack somewhere. The machines have been running for years. Every few years, as I approach MTBF of the hardware, I move to a new server. That entails a small downtime.

Result: People use my servers in their "is the internet up" scripts. Because my failure rate is a fraction of what distributed systems have.

In fact, practically all of my downtimes have been software bugs in my code, or me fat-fingering input somewhere. I can't even remember the last time the hardware failed. Not even sure I ever had an actual hardware failure that caused downtime. I once had a raid hdd throwing errors and it had to be replaced. I think that's it.
So what you are saying is that because Fugaku supercomputer has 158,976 nodes, it's "horizontally distributed" and Amdahl's law does not apply to it but only to the 48 cores on each node?

A task that we have (if we want to formalize it for analysis via Amdahl's law) is to process 1MM requests on 1000 web servers and a single SQL server behind them. What we are after is how much faster can this setup process 1MM requests compared to a setup with 1 web server and 1 SQL server (1 SQL server is used here to exemplify the sequential part of the request handling). Indirectly from this calculation you can derive the increase in overall system RPS after you run a benchmark actually pushing 1MM requests through 1000 servers vs 1 server.

If you have a line of code `sqlUpdateTransaction.commitBlockingWait()`, and it takes 1% of your request handler execution time, then even if you add 1000 web servers but have only 1 SQL server machine behind them (a little bit oversimplifying here as contention is likely to degrade performance further, assume we are able to scale the SQL vertically just so that the call above always takes 1% of the request handler time for the sake of simplicity), your system will not process 1MM requests more than 91x faster than a setup with a single web server and a single SQL server. See https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1%2F%28%281-0.99%29%2B.... And no amount of green threads will allow you to outsmart the Amdahl's law. The only thing you can do is to return 200 OK before the transaction is committed, which would bring sequential part of the handler code from 1% to (nearly) 0% (and arguably be an unacceptable method of performance optimisation).

Thanks that's interesting. Although it also seems a slightly odd collision of worlds. I mean art is important, and can show us personal perspectives we might otherwise miss. (And maybe the super-slick presentation is something someone did for their own pleasure, not because some sponsor was willing to pay the day rate.)

But carefully weighing evidence and doubt isn't exactly the core idea of the art world. You will win few prizes by pointing out factual mistakes in others' work. (Not saying I know of any factual inaccuracies here, to be clear.)
How about a browser that has cookies etc. as different modules detachable/attachable from/to the actual _browsing session/s_, and an option to attach/detach them on the fly. I think I would get used to the overhead work involved when browsing, just like I got used to NoScript.
In my part of the world offices were the last places to shut down due to COVID and are still partially open. Losing social interactions at your workplace happened after heavy restrictions were placed on meeting friends, family and going anywhere except supermarkets.

Maybe you are just lucky that the office is the only place where you lost regular social interactions.
Would be nice if I can vertically swipe up the slide instead swiping horizontally in vertical slide.
podman-compose works really well IMO.

For my stacks, the only thing i can't get working is routing a specific container through a host defined network (not a container). I'm certain podman can do it, i just haven't had the time to "fiddle" with it.

With docker (compose) i just define an ipam network (external) matching the host adapters network, and connect the containers to that network, and the spice begins to flow.
There is no judgement in my comment for it to be fair or unfair. I guess the word you're looking for is "incomplete", in which case, it absolutely is incomplete for brevity.

My point was on this particular shortcut in many articles including large publications:

A: I work at the office

B: I'm not lonely

Not A => Not B (I don't work at the office therefore I'm lonely), and then coming up with a solution that it's time to get back to the office, failing to respect the contraposition, and implying that there's equivalence with a hidden B ==> A implication that is not necessary true.

Your point does not contradict my comment, actually, because all these are outside of "work/office". Again, my point was about the equivalence between remote work and loneliness not being automatic. One way to go through that is having a social life outside of the office. Granted, many things have closed, but that's why I said it was a sign of what the person could try and improve (finding things that haven't closed, finding joy somewhere else). Not saying it's easy.
But the truth is, for many people colleagues are the only people they regularly interact with. Especially people who work a lot have basically non existent or purely formal other relationships. They don't even know how to relate to people outside of job setting.
How do you reckon that 'hers was no different'? Deceiving people about R&D outcomes to fill your pockets is not (or at least should not be) business as usual and definitely it's not a matter of 'some companies succeed and some fail'.

Many apps/things can run with 100x overhead and nobody should care.

Look at your salary, add ~50% for corporate overhead and compare this to the savings you'd generate using market pricing of cloud resources (even if you don't use cloud). Can you beat this with, say, a 3 years discounting plan for the savings? In a lot of cases the answer actually is "clearly not".

Sometimes you can eek out very sizeable gains, but always do the capitalist homework first (and the engineering homework of profiling second) before trying any fixes.

Also, if it's performance that you need look into "stupid" solutions first. Can you move the DB to flash with just a few config options? Can you mlock() it in RAM? You'd be surprised how many things fit in RAM, especially if your DB is a managed distributed solution, and still be very cheap compared to engineering salaries.
The only thing I miss about working in an office is having a workstation and other gear readily available. The startup I work for was on the brink of bankruptcy when I was hired, so I have worked with my desktop computer ever since.

Designed to Deceive: Do These People Look Real to You?
I'm not sure about Sorbet. Shopify are definitely talking the talk but the issues list on GitHub is getting pretty large and the much-trumpeted VSCode plugin has disappeared. My first foray was cut short by a bug (https://github.com/sorbet/sorbet/issues/3603). With the up and coming typing support in Ruby 3 there's competition, which is good, but given the current state of play I'm going to wait for things to settle before trying to adopt again.
My point is that it allows these kinds of things to happen. What's the point in making the number less accurate? In probability the difference between 0.999 vs 1.0 is enormous and these kinds of things can happen when you just floor numbers.
According to the MGTOW community, women require constant validation, often subconsciously.

So think of her nagging as not being able to realize and limit her need for validation from you.

You can look for related titles on Youtube with Red Pill and MGTOW in the titles that will help you to frame for yourself and how to explain to your wife that dysfunctional but common element of your relationship.

OP mentioned kids, which is a big complicating factor. We gave two and oof, the dishes thing is real. We are cooking more, and for more people every meal.

As to popping out to the pub with colleagues, again it's tough with the kids home. If I go out anywhere between 4-8 I'm basically sticking my wife with the toughest time of day. Also patio season is done here and you wouldn't catch me drinking indoors during the pandemic.

For me the biggest struggle with working from home has been psychological. I find it much harder to focus for some reason, even with a dedicated room to work in. When I was working in an office my mind would automatically switch to work mode, and I could be productive for 6+ hours. At home for some reason my mind never quite switches into work mode. I've been trying many things and it has gotten better but still not there. It's almost like I've developed mild ADHD. I wonder if anyone has some tips for this, as I'm running out of ideas.

The only thing that has worked for me in the past is to go to coffee shops and despite the noise and general discomfort, my brain instantly goes into work mode and I can focus. But this isn't really viable w/ lockdowns.

Does anyone know if all the GDPR type laws in EU and US are causing Japanese website makers to add consent forms on their websites?

That’s probably the worst usability problem with the current web, it used to be popups, now it’s constant in your face consent forms. Consent forms are really just legally enforced popups.

Probably US users don’t know how bad it is because the US sites only add them to requests originating in the EU.
