Yes, this is what I worry about too.

I've been hearing remote work is the future for many years now, but haven't seen much movement toward the goal.

Now, we are in a pandemic and everyone is forced to be at home, not by choice, but by necessity.

Everyone is still saying remote work is now accelerated, but no one had a choice if they wanted to work remotely or not...

Of course there will be some increase in remote working after the pandemic, but I think the vast majority is going to return to the office.

Not because they can't work from home, but just because they don't want to work from home.
> At least one exec I reported to had to take a year off as a result of these lawsuits.

Yes, it is a bigger issue on both sides of the table when you get to director+ level. The company often has much more to lose, and the employee often has far fewer potential new homes. These things tend to balance out; I've seen contracts with non-compete timeline matched or exceeded by severance timeline for that reason.

Those of you praising Proton, what distro and what gpu are you using? Are the days of nVidia bad, AMD good for driver support over?
Thanks, I'm really glad you all liked it!
Yes.
But they said "we accept your resignation" without waiting to see if she'd follow through on the ultimatum, and without respecting her stated plan to work on an end date.
Menyoki: Screen{shot,cast} and perform ImageOps on the command line
There are so many differences between Boston’s route 128 and SFBA that it makes a pretty awful A/B test.

I’ve lived and worked in both. None of the things I prefer about SF have anything to do with the efforts of local governments.

If anything, I’d agree that the local governments efforts and misguided policies are responsible for most of what I dislike most about living in SF.

So much is handled so incredibly poorly, but everyone’s willing to put up with it for proximity to a giant money-making machine spewing wealth around.
Now I'm biased because I'm an anti-cheat developer, but I really can't see how checking the integrity of your installed kernel device drivers is at all invasive.
I've seen a lot of predictions for "races for the bottom" over the years, and yet it's hard to remember one that actually happened.

Economies usually don't work like that.

Even if some version of that happens, it will still pay off to move out of SF.

I think one of the big problems in the US is that growth and wealth are concentrated to a few hyper rich coastal cities, where most people can't afford to move. While large parts of the country is relatively impoverished.

If that ends up being spread around more evenly, I think that's only good. Even if I personally might get a pay cut.
Great, what bank? We had it for ages and ages but they removed it a couple of years ago. Still missing it badly. It was programmed in flash so I guess that's why they shut it down...
> Most people who have to work for a living will not shell out 20k+ or (50-60k if there are siblings involved) simply because they are classist: they see clear advantages in private schools.

Im not sure why that would rule out classism.

Why won't I get back to that level?

I have a kid, so I don't have any time to study outside of work or put in tons of extra hours. After years of being screwed over and passed over, I don't really have the drive/hope to get to that level since it wasn't rewarded the first time. Also, the work is very boring now and isn't transferrable to other groups or companies, so I don't have any interest in being an expert just to throw away that knowledge (like I was forced to do in the past).
It's crazy how activists never point at the ones who do the most damage.
It's not the exception, it's the rule.

These guys didn't choose to switch away from Mac because they wanted to complicate their lives and have to learn a new OS; they did so because the switchover was industry-wide and and they'd already made the switch at their previous jobs. The studios got burned by Apple's lack of support for a decade, combined with the Mac's excessive costs and switched to nix and Windows (primarily nix) starting during the Great Recession.

Generally, Windows is in the mix simply because a lot of the software that the (non-technical) artists use is stabler or easier to support on Windows than it is on nix, like Maya, 3DS, Premiere, etc., and running these on Windows is a quarter of the cost, or less, of running the same software on Mac.
That's only the conditional part of the ultimatum, not the threat. (the "X" in "Do X, or I'll do Y").

The exact phrasing she used is (probably - IANA employment lawyer) very important. If she said something like "Do X, or I'll have to reconsider if I want to continue working here", that doesn't sound like an ultimatum. But if she said "Do X, or I'm going to quit on December 5th", then that definitely sounds like an ultimatum you're begging the company to take you up on.
It was tongue in cheek though... the summary tells you as much.
I consider gambling unethical, and thus all forms of cheating are the only ethical way to play such games.
I stated a general sentiment of the trends in web development, where there is an extraordinary amount of work to effectively reinvent the wheel, and then to uninvent the wheel and herald why using a cube is superior, until eventually you herald the wheel again. It's bizarre.

The work product of teams chasing each of these innovations is virtually unchanged, decade over decade. Which is exactly why you see a circular procession of revolutions, each displacing the last to the dustbin of history, while empirically offering nothing unique.

Clearly there are a lot of people that empathize with it. There is nothing "baseless" about that, however uncomfortable some find it.

Bizarre that you claimed that my comment was an "ad hominem", when your own reply included multiple personal attacks and mine included none. They (you?) literally tried to discount my comment by contriving a strawman that if this application and management of CSS is trivial, therefore I'm saying that design is trivial. That is absurd, and is completely orthogonal.
I have lived in both SF and DC and think a few of your points are maybe a bit unfair to the east coast. I found DC's public transit and walkability to be quite a bit better than SF. True, the weather is less perfect, and maybe I am resistant to humidity and mild cold, but I generally found it pleasant to be outside for 9 months of the year. DC absolutely had a lot of diversity, partially due to immigration, but also because the government pulls in people from all countries and all walks of life. It is really the opposite of a monoculture since there is really a bit of everything under the sun there. The Smithsonian is a worldwide magnet for art and culture. You also trade SF's weirdness for one of the most historically interesting places in the country.

On the nature front, there are really a lot of great public lands on the east coast. They are a bit less iconic than what you can find on the west coast, but you can still hike, camp, climb, ski and beach to your heart's content.

I think comparing SF to DC and Boston makes the most sense just due to similar size. LA and NYC are in a class of their own.
Netflix works, at least in Firefox.
How fast was that!
I’m wondering the same thing, wine works well on the Mac, and Porting Kit and Play On Mac are basically volunteer efforts at the same thing (custom versions of Wine for playing games) and work pretty well for slightly older games.

I re-played Fallout 3 and New Vegas this year using Porting Kit but had to dual boot into Windows to play 4.
If this was an option they would have already outsourced the work.

I was all set to replace my 2015 MBA with an M1 MBA, but in watching his (and others) Cities:Skylines performance I'm now thinking I may switch to gaming on Mac full time. Only problem is 16GB of RAM is NOT going to cut it with C:S - so I now am waiting for the next batch. 32GB should be plenty and I would be shocked if the next group of machines didn't have at least one laptop that could go to 32GB.

Hopefully still HBM too.
To clarify, you're saying that limited career growth opportunity at satellite sites is stunting the talent development at that locale?
I find this to be a critical feature in long-running threads. I use it extensively in WhatsApp
I claim that something will definitely eclipse 2020 (including covid, POTUS, and all other shenanigans). This century we will almost certainly get self driving cars, AGI, unprecedented biology advances, VR, etc... Secondary and tertiary effects of those technologies will have far reaching implications on the human civilization.

The only alternative to getting most of those technologies is some kind of global crisis that significantly sets back humanity. So we either have crazy powerful technologies that upend status quo way of life or a catastrophe that destroys everything.

Vertical Integration of products, culture and functional organization. Intel, QC, AMD will never be a holistic consumer solution. MSFT or Amazon might be able to to technically and financially, but I don't know about organizationally. Perhaps if Surface/Kindle were spun off completely and had $10B and more to buy a next-gen node for a year. Google claims to be some functional matrix but the pieces just never come together that elegantly.
Other people have noted that your `style` example isn't responsive, but on top of that, there's nothing stopping you (or a collaborator) from writing `style="width:26px;"` somewhere else in the app. Having a restricted set of options helps enforce consistency across a project and gives you a much nicer look by default. This is especially useful for devs doing frontend work without a strong design background.
No. We define the centuries as the periods of 100 years beginning with the multiples of 100 in the year numbering system of the contextual calendar. The definition given by your reference is neither authoritative nor popular.

If you follow the definitions advocated by Wikipedia and its collection of sources, you end up in an absurd state where the decades[0] span multiple centuries. It's absurd and does not reflect popular usage.

Afaik GOG even release patches for some games so they work in Wine.

(Which however didn't help me on an older Mac, as Wine gaming seems to be sensitive to hardware and drivers.)
Might be different in upper levels, but this wasn't the case from my experience as an undergrad at Stanford.
Wanted to mess around with programming drones for a prototype delivery system (I think in 2015), submitted my proposal for a 2k grant to buy a drone, but I dropped the idea when the committee that manages it said they would make decisions about IP. Maybe my proposal wasn't important enough to warrant an actual negotiation? I suspect that at upper levels of development/research this process is handled differently.
Tailwind garagedoor server update to improve reliability has not gone as planned
It's also the strong anti-non-compete of CA that allowed the flourishing and spread of technology and know-how.
I get where you’re coming from, having lived through much of what you have myself. The linked article here is not actually that interesting, and arguably ruins the image of Tailwind a little.

After dealing with a sea of generally pretty junk libraries and patterns for a while now, I know what I like and what I think works well.

Tailwind is nice. It provides utility css classes to help you write css faster. Trying to do responsive work in regular css is a pita with media queries - tailwind improves on that dramatically. It’s proper regular css, just like you know and love. With a bunch of classes that let you a) tidy things up so the design is a bit more honoured b) give you utilities for common patterns and c) allow you to be more expressive without having to reach for more clumsy css nesting. It’s just css. Old school css. You can give classes your own names like you always did before.

If anything, tailwind is the pendulum swinging back to how things used to be. It’s just being misrepresented here.
He said both "New Year's Eve, 2000" and "starting on Jan 1st, 2000".

I'm not sure why he contradicted himself, but the first one would be 24h early, and the second one a whole year.

I had a similar experience with scalable graphics and having to support anything from Android 4 (can't remember if .2 or .4) to Android 8. It feels like programming in JavaScript and trying to support anything from IE 8 to the latest Chrome, Android is full of polyfills and helper libraries whose only purpose is to fill in the gaps for missing, replaced or removed functionality.
Sure, in that case every company I and the people I know have been working or since March has been unhealthy, including some large Silicon Valley standards.

But now you're just arguing that reality is wrong.
That tweet is the "conditions" part of the ultimatum. The other part was the "consequences" if the conditions are not met (the consequences were that she would resign at a to-be-determined date).
The author removed it from Substack (see my edit) - but still it got flagged down on here.
https://matrix.org/blog/2020/09/15/gsoc-report-html-embeddab... was a GSOC project this year which heads in that direction. Meanwhile Hydrogen has been built to be embeddable (https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web). And Gitter of course has http://sidecar.gitter.im/.

But nobody has fully packaged one up as FOSS Disqus/Intercom/etc alt yet. It's a huge and easily-fillable gap in the Matrix ecosystem :)
Sure, but others were pointing at heating as a source, and in my SO's case, that does not seem likely. However, the use of the gas stove is constant throughout the year, so it is probably more complex. An induction stove is planned for early next year, so I might be able to observe differences.
Gas is the best source for heating and cooking so CA can shove off.
Lots of split options out there. I think the trick would be in fabricating something to hold them in the position you want.
My bank (Citi) has actually offered virtual account numbers for close to a decade - their original implementation used a Flash web app (ostensibly for security?) but now thankfully it’s a more standard HTML5 setup.

They can be used at any online shop, have customizable credit limits and expiry dates, and you can enter whatever billing details you like. It’s a great solution. Payments still settle to your real credit card in the end, obviously, but the merchant never gets to see that info.

Similarly, my understanding is that Apple Pay (and probably Google Wallet?) do a similar thing: they roll a random virtual account number and pay with that.
Banking is the most

They already did that.
No, the house loves it when someone takes a big win. They have already made their money, the winnings is something they have already budgeted to pay out so it isn't even a loss to them. The big winners tend to brag about their winnings and this free advertising is worth a lot to them.
> If the vast majority of workers demand [WFH]

I don't know what percentage of the workforce here has both family and enough personal connections to where leaving the area doesn't make sense, regardless of a WFH policy. It may be that they want a better commute but still want to stay in the area for the aforementioned reasons (I am one of these people).
I'm curious how much of a danger furnaces and gas dryers pose as well. Article seemed light on detail there.

Would a CO monitor help in detecting these issues? Or would I need something more?

Please speak with your physician or another professional before undertaking any kind of advice like this.

Walking is a great calorie burning activity and can absolutely help when it comes to obesity and such. However, skinny != fit.

If you want to be fit, there's no shortcut. Eat healthy, hit the gym (or other real training activity), don't abuse drugs and delete social media.
As I said, it's not a bad attempt, and it's presence has probably given renewed impetus to js lang improvements.

> Since a major use of Teams are meetings via calendar events it'd be great to be able to see all my events within Teams ... but nope, got to start up the Outlook app for that.

The Calendar button in Teams shows everything on your Exchange calendar, including non-Teams entries.

If that button isn’t there, I suspect your corporate IT have messed with the Teams settings for your org for some reason. Probably some other poorly conceived Outlook calendar plug-in like Salesforce that wants to “capture” activity on the calendar but would be blind to modifications made in Teams UI, so they turn it off.

Or maybe you are still on-premise for Exchange? The Teams-Exchange integration is server-side, and won’t work with on-prem Exchange unless your admins have set up hybrid mode correctly.

I did see a recent build on the mechanical keyboard subreddit where someone built exactly what you describe, with an Ergodox.

I have nerve damage in my hands from an accident and recently switched to a Kinesis Advantage 2. It's been amazing for me. Not exactly what you're looking for, but I got it after extensive research and it seems to be the best keyboard to get if you have RSI/injuries.

Kinesis has several split models too that are cheaper, maybe you could build a side-holstered version if you got one of those.

When you put an ultimatum forward, you must expect being called on it and lose. She got called on it and lost. The least she could do is walk away with some honor and walk her talk. Not only she doesn't even seem to be able to do that, but she keeps playing victim...

AIUI, she is still on the payroll, but has just been restricted from accessing anything. There's no law (at least -in the US) that says that if an employee gives their 2 weeks notice, that you have to let them keep coming in for those 2 weeks. You can just give them 2 weeks of salary and tell them to immediately leave. From one of the leaked emails, it seems like she would have been given her 2 weeks if she hadn't written a rambling screed imploring other employees to stop working on certain projects.

It disturbs me how much of a news story this is.

This should be handled internally and not aired in public across several media sites. Why should I care about the dirty laundry of FAANG and some random individual?
Where I live it's essential to have a backup to electrically powered heat. Power just isn't that reliable, especially in a big, freezing winter storm. In California, add their notoriously unreliable grid to the calculation.

Also, for my house a winter's worth of electrical heat costs about $1,700. Propane heating costs about $1,400. If I use my woodstove and buy the wood it costs about $600. If I cut my own wood it costs about $150 for fuel and maintenance. So forcing electrical heat also amounts to a large implicit tax.
That's also a sign they aren't comfortable with the version control system. I used to be like that, and with cvs and svn it was somewhat justifiable. Now that we have git and it's everywhere I'm far less anxious. Not that git is perfect and things don't happen, but it's extremely good at not Screwing Up. It may not do exactly what you expected, but it doesn't break the repo. It also tries really hard to never forget anything unless you make an effort to force it. It might take a bit of digging around in the reflog to figure out how to get back to a sane state, but in every case I've had to deal with it was possible.
Can finger pointing really solve anything though?

Starting a wider conversation and raising awareness will probably help a lot more in the long run.
Oh that's interesting. A range hood that recirculates? I didn't know that was even a thing. Must have a very powerful HEPA filter in there or something; not sure how safe I would feel with that.

I suppose I'll just be more proactive using my indoor air monitor when cooking; albeit it's hard to know for sure. The monitor always shows a non trivial ambient level of VOCs; so it's hard to know what is safe, what is from cooking, what can be prevented, etc..
Short variable names make code more readable in some scenarios, not less.

fooBarBazThings.each(t => t.DoThing())
for (int i = 0; i < len(things); i++) { // i used here }

Some local code patterns are seen so often you understand it in one go. Something like

fooBarBazThings.each(fooBarBazThing => fooBarBazThing.DoThing())
for (int thingIndex = 0; thingIndex < lengthOfThings; thingIndex += 1) { // thingIndex used here }

Just clutters things up.
