I think you have the wrong understanding. There are plenty of reasons one can prefer to work at the office instead of remotely. It is not because you like it, that anyone is liking it. We are all humans we are different.

This article is an opinion piece, and judging by how many people are upvoting it, it seems like it resonate with a lot of people. The same way a remote post blog will also attract tons of upvote.

There are no best setup for everyone, there is a different best setup for each one of us.

What I've noticed is they can run off 500 mA usb if you run them headless, but need the full 2A from their power adapter if you run X and usb peripherals.

So your pihole doesn't heat as much as the pi in that kiosk even given the same room temperature. And then, the temps inside an outdoor box in the sun can go way up too.
That makes me a little sad... Well not really, I'm the one who gets interrupted, but sure if allowing myself to be interrupted, in order to help my co-workers, makes me "the worst", then sure.

If a 10 minute interruption saves my co-workers hours of frustration, then I personally think it's worth it.
to me, the moment this work from home kicks in, i really enjoy it throughout

i have a newborn to take care in my family. if i go to work, i can't concentrate because i will always wonder what is going on with my newborn. when i'm at home working, i can easily see what's going on exactly.

the commute time is also also another issue. i use to spend an hour to and fro from the office each. now with this situation, i can wake up very late and still be on time for the meeting

did my efficiency drop? hard to say, but i give my 100% even when i'm working from home
LEM for mere propositions is not "true by default", but it is consistent with univalence. So you can take it as an axiom.
No, work in office was a thing because it's always been like that and change is difficult. It's not like remote work is a new idea, it's just that the idea of not visually seeing asses in seats was perceived as very radical.
This is simple & looks great!
Unsolicited advice warning

That's a long road.

I think it's fair to ask you to pull your weight with the housework but maybe try setting some standard boundaries e.g. between 8-5 or something, so there's no need for an interaction ('are you done working?'). If you're conveniently 'working' every time she asks that's not going to help.

Or you could ask her to do your work while you do the dishes/cook/etc.

My suggestion would be that no matter what you decide, propose the idea proactively. Don't wait until there's an ask on the table.

Am I "captain obvious" in pointing out that one of the viruses is a bacteriophage?

They actually help us (Eukaryotes, broadly) a lot in containing the spread of bacteria.
Maybe in the future our only help in dealing with multi-resistant ones (because of our mindless use of antibiotics), which in comparison is a more scaring prospect - several orders of magnitude higher - than this novel type of human betacoronavirus meticulously detected by millions of non-standardized (temperature (annealing, denaturation), number of gen-sequences, # of cycles) RT-PCR-Tests daily, worlwide ...

Automated taxis are closer (and I love it)
I’ve been the principal engineer for my company, remotely for the past 4 years. I’ve never had a problem with it.

There are tradeoffs, but just the fact that nearly every single one of our conversations are documented and searchable is worth it alone.

You can’t just walk over to talk to someone anytime the notion strikes you, but you shouldn’t have been doing that anyway. I love to talk, and I love to think out loud. But every time I do that, I’m asking someone else to divert there attention to me.

Being remote allows people to turn off the majority of the interruptions and get work done when they need to.

And it forces me to spend more time thinking about my communications. Instead of just constantly walking over to people the moment an idea pops into my head.
Yes, and there's another downside to that : it makes me lose the other ZFS benefits (raidz, mirroring, some level of performance).

> impolite

While that is true if it's just some singular instance, when living with people (parents, spouses, kids, roommates) it is better to explain it once or twice and after that, just be impolite. Even for the simple reason that they are actually the impolite ones for not respecting your process.
That's a very real problem, sometimes you just need long periods of uninterrupted time to get a task done.

We solve this by having a special office, placed in a "remote" corner of the building. It's equipped with proper desks, monitors, chair and so on. You can go there if you need a few hours, or days, of dedicated time. If you're working on a specific project, we'll often move the team working on that project to a dedicate office. For your daily job, you just just stay at your normal desk in a semi-open office space, with plenty of meeting room and smaller rooms for calls or online meetings.

We have a subset of the workforce who misses the office. Before you shed tears for them, consider when the roles were reversed, office work was mandatory and it was you who wanted (but could not get) remote work. Did your office-loving coworkers put pressure on upper management to support a hybrid model? Now that the tables turned, I don't think having too much empathy is justified.

TL/DR: you think half a year of WFH is hard? It's nothing compared to decades working from the office.

There are good IDEs for Python development, such as PyCharm (from JetBrains). You can launch an IPython console in PyCharm, and get a REPL. And besides, many languages don’t have any REPLs or haven’t had them for years (C# until 2015, Java until 2017), and people were still able to work fine with those.

I was here for all the discussions about how React went against the idea of mixing html and js, but once I started using it and grokking how that wasn't really the case, I found React to be so much more pleasant than what had come before. I mean, I still avoid it if I can, but that's not React's fault.

The fact that most front-end frameworks implement some kind of React-ish approach should at the very least make you wonder if dismissing it as 'cool-kiddery' is perhaps a bit too broad a swipe.

With Tailwind, at first I had similar concerns. I used it a bit and it seemed okay, but went back to the good old fashioned way of doing things. Then, in a later project, I decided to give it a proper shot and it measurably increases my productivity, reduces complexity, and reading articles about why it's not 'separation of concerns' (in many cases) convinced me I had no real basis for being against it other than being a curmudgeonly old-skool guy.

It's totally fair to stick with what works for you, but perhaps dismissing both React and Tailwind as 'cool-kiddery' is more a 'stuck in your ways and insecure enough to need to justify it' kind of thing than it is a reasonable perspective. Sometimes new things /are/ better!

States Unfairly Burdening Incarcerated People with “Pay-to-Stay” Fees
This comment really resonates with me. The difference for me is that we have an amazing office space, comfortable chairs, big desks and monitors and ample space. But, it's open plan and extremely noisy, with interruptions being frequent. It's not a space that allows deep work. I feel that 1 or 2 days in the office would make for a healthy harmony between work and life. We also really need to rethink working hours.
Lots of people would regard it as unethical however.
I am the one behind https://RediSQL.com

It is a Redis module that embed SQLite.

The idea is to run medium complexity project on top of a single runtime dependencies, Redis.

You will find Redis in most applications anyway, and for a simple crud application sqlite is more than enough.

In this way you get rid of a lot of systems complexity. And I works both in memory (crazy fast) or with standard files.

There's also the cost of getting out of the Apple ecosystem to factor in.

As we've seen with recent mac issues, they seem these days to Only Just Work.

Some flavours of Linux just work these days, see other comments. There really is no need to tinker these days, but if you want to tinker, you can!

But a hugely underestimated cost is the cost of moving away from Apple. Watch, phone, tablet, music, accounts etc makes it an ecosystem. It's not a simple computer, Apple is a brand that integrates with lives.

Of course just how much of the population don't care about privacy so long as they can use a nice UX, many people will not care about Free Software so long as they have a good experience. Linux on the desktop is not going to win UX wars, just like how duck duck go will not win the search wars.

People don't use Linux because it has a better experience than Apple! There are other reasons.

In the future when users can only rent Mac's and not own them, people will still be saying the same thing: I don't care that I don't own this thing, I just want it to work, and it feels better than this other thing.

Interview by FT Alphaville with David Gerard on the Crypto Market
Ah net send, the command that nearly got my friends and I suspended in high school. We learned about batch file scripting and net send and of course within minutes the first thing our teenage brains thought of was write and run an infinite loop to send “lol dicks” to every computer on the network, which was every single computer on campus. If I recall correctly you couldn’t do anything on the message receiver end until you acknowledged the message, and they would queue on receipt... so we basically bricked every computer at the school that morning lol
So, the key point is that the highly accurate RT-PCR is less accurate than the numbers say, because the results arrive harmfully late. RT-PCR tests quack like a false positive/negative for up to two days, to use the duck test.

In a way it's a classic performance measurement: The metric measured is great, another metric isn't measured and isn't great.
While I am also irked by shifting meanings, I think trying to resist these changes is very Canute-like.

There's no false precision. There's a whopping +/- 40% error bar! What can be said is that 26% is at least less precise on average. You've added a completely arbitrary 0.32 because of some obsession with decimals.

I don't know why you need to reply unpleasantly. It should be possible to give and receive criticism, even strong criticism, without having it turn into a flamewar just because we're on the internet.

Indeed, you yourself have criticised my work and my field mercilessly in this thread and I did not once reply with unpleasantness. In fact, what you keep dismissing as irrelevant and basically cheating (Louise) is my PhD research. I would be well within reason to be defensive about it. Instead, I believe I have remained polite and respectful towards you throughout and strove to answer all your questions about it.

Although you did take my criticism as snark, so this is perhaps something that is not entirely objective - you might perceive my criticism as a personal attack, say. Again, this should not be the case. In my field of work, criticism is what makes your work better and without criticism one never improves. So I do mean it when I say that my contribution to this thread was for your sake and to help you improve your knowledge of a subject you seem to be interested in.

In any case, I'm sorry this conversation turned sour. I didn't want to make you upset and I apologise for having done so.

I think we're in agreement that the 0.32 is false precision?
Some 20 years ago I was an a student at a university and a resident and network/server admin at one of the dorms.

We had some people from a student organization which I will not name set up some servers with warez and other things in our network. This network was back then completely open to network and all students' machines had real, public, routable IP addresses and no firewall.

We had to tolerate the people even though the rules stated running intensive services was not allowed and I would normally had a script that would automatically ban a user for doing something like that.

I remember one day we (me and my roommate) decided to take a look at the server and we noticed it is some stock install of a Linux Mandrake which was known to be totally insecure. We decided to bet who is going to be faster to the server.

Half an hour later we were both telnetted to the server and chatting using wall, of all possibilities.

For those who don't remember, wall broadcasts messages to all terminals on the server.

Couple minutes later the owner of the server burst into our room scared that some hackers just invaded his precious student service.

You should see our faces.

Quote

>> France aims to rapidly develop renewable wind, solar and biomass capacity to curb its dependence on atomic power, reducing its share in its power mix to 50 percent by 2035, from 75 percent today.

A quick google will turn up dozens of other sources discussing that if you like.

> reducing dependence on nuclear has a lot of advantages unrelated to "nuclear is bad" or "nuclear is not clean" or etc

When did I even say that? Please have the decency NOT to convert my educated and reasoned points into a straw-man argument. I spent years working in nuclear physics. I'm not making some idiotic "nuclear reactors will turn us into glowing mutants" argument here.

The real issues with nuclear are -- and always have been -- simple, practical problems of cost, time to construct, and the usual problems of cost overruns and delays that you see with constructing a very complicated system. The Flamanville EPR has been a fiasco, with costs triple its original estimate and a timeline that ballooned to 15 years.

In comparison, the competition from renewable energy has heated up rapidly. Economies of scale are rapidly driving down the costs renewables and batteries (and the underlying technology is improving rapidly). Between 2010 to 2019 wind energy become 70% cheaper and solar became 89% cheaper: https://www.lazard.com/media/451082/lcoe-8.png

Battery costs have dropped 75% over the last 6 years: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/report-levelize...

Nuclear energy in 2020 is often quite expensive compared to renewable energy, and the comparison is only getting worse over time.

> France has no plans on eliminating nuclear in the foreseeable future.

In 2020, Energy Minister Élisabeth Borne announced the government would not decide on the construction of any new reactors until Flamanville 3 starts operation after 2022. Citation: https://www.neimagazine.com/news/newsfrance-to-decide-on-new...

"France has undertaken to cut the nuclear share in its electricity mix from around 75% to 50% by 2035 while increasing the share of renewable solar, wind and biomass."

“Whether we are looking at 100% renewables or a percentage of new nuclear, we want to consider all the elements, including technical, economic,” she noted. “On such important subjects, we must make rational, reasoned decisions, and that is the objective of the various studies that have been launched.”

To put that all together: France is cutting their use of nuclear, and waiting to decide whether or not to replace reactors that are fast approaching end-of-life. They're going to look and see how the energy market shakes out.

Systemd Targets and Infrastucture Layers
I think an important thing to keep in mind is that the past 8 months aren't really a good indicator of what working remotely is really like. I've worked remotely for the past 4 years, and this year has easily been the most difficult and most unlike typical remote work:

- Normally, I'd try to mix up my day and get some socialization in by going to a co-working space 1-2 times a week.

- I had a lot of freedom to catch up with friends after work, or over lunch, and while that's not impossible in 2020, it's very different (it's a much smaller group, always outside, and never over food or drinks - mostly just a walk or something like that).

- I had much more freedom to travel (YMMV depending on your work, but I would work remotely from a cottage, or a nearby city sometimes if I was meeting up with someone - even a couple of times from more exotic locales).

- For gigs where an office was close by, I still had the option to pop in once in a while, and for really remote jobs, I still tended to have some form of face to face interaction by doing a bigger visit every few months.

If you're not liking remote work during 2020, I don't entirely blame you. I still don't think it's for everyone, but I would recommend trying it outside the context of a global pandemic.

Correct, using Tor has a chilling effect, just like using cryptography used to have. Hidden in plain sight and blending in crowd is not foolproof either. If you don't do anything wrong on Tor, you're noise. However, some signal on Tor is information I find unethical (e.g. pedophile and terrorist content). If I want such distributors to be busted, lowering Tor noise seems to be in my interest.
