I think that depends on what you do as a job. For some people a one day break in a new location could be stimulating and healthy.

Appreciate that for others its a different story. One way this could go is a week/two week room swap that includes accommodation AND a work space. That gets difficult for logistics though...
It could be a programmer. I think the origin comes from bro-y men around 2005 moving to silicon valley (eg zuck in that movie) but then having a very frat-culture vibe (eg. lots of booze, house parties but with programming, etc). It grew to be anyone silicon-valley and tech-adjacent that acted like this.
I think it’s actually negative incentive as if you document stuff, you might get questions about it.

I’ve seen the “no documentation = job security” anti pattern for decades. But recently I’ve seen the “if I write something down I can be questioned better by more people so I can lay low by never describing what I’m doing how how you can reuse my libraries and methods.”

It’s a weird situation where people get promoted for “doing stuff” and not for “others doing stuff with my stuff.”

Greyhound racing dogs have been paced by a mechanical rabbit for decades. I always assumed the reason something similar wasn't done for track was because it was deemed against the rules. And perhaps the rules simply changed, because I'm having a hard time thinking of pacing lights as innovative.

If you go this "build it piecewise" route instead of a full package DE you'll probably also want notifications, screenshot, a GUI tool for external monitor management (I go as far as using nmtui instead of a widget for networking but absolute detest dealing with sway commands to present on an external screen), battery monitor, and a screen lock/screensaver. Plenty of good options for all the above but sway is not a batteries included DE to choose so you have to find them yourself.

Mostly to learn new things I didn't do any xwayland at all. It's definitely been interesting but certainly not what most would want at the moment IMO.

Designers call this a "false bottom" and try to make sure it doesn't happen, but it can be a near impossible task to make sure there's never one given variation in screen sizes / orientations.

Often you see websites with hero areas and panels that fill the full screen on standard desktop sizes, but attentive teams will make sure something is cut off so that the page looks unfinished and people scroll.

For what it's worth, I've also seen data that Apple users are more likely to scroll by default simply because they've made the scrolling experience so pleasant.

> I'm honestly surprised no one has just tried to make it so you can "firewall" X11 programs

This can be done via firejail[1] + xpra/xephyr but is a rather cumbersome endeavor. The X11 standard also contains access control hooks that allow you to "firewall" any aspect of your application. However it is used by no application I personally know of and is rendered useless by how the xinput mechanism is implemented at this point.

The reason nobody bothered to deal with this so far is that people almost never run untrusted software on FOSS systems which is what X11 primarily targets. There was no demand.

It’s true that MFS didn’t have folders—but it was also superseded by HFS all the way back in 1985! From my research, there’s only one generation of Macintosh computers (the original 128K and 512K) that did not ship with HFS. MFS was standard for a very short period of time.

The article hints at how files work. On MFS you would refer to a file as a (volume ID, filename) pair. On HFS, you would refer to a file as a (volume ID, directory ID, filename) triplet. A bunch of toolbox calls (syscalls) got duplicate versions for HFS—but if you were working with legacy code, you could create a fake volume ID called a “working directory” that could be used as if it were a volume ID in a (volume ID, filename) pair. These “working directories” are just awful. The working directory table is global to the entire system and they are not reference-counted—if you open the same working directory twice, you get the same ID both times, and you only have to close it once.

As a funny note—the original filesystem, MFS, had a maximum file name length of 255 characters. HFS, its successor, had a 31-character limit when it first appeared. As a compromise, the new FSSpec file APIs that appeared in System 7 used a 63-character limit filename, because 63 characters was the maximum filename length that the Finder supported.

You could create files with names longer than 63 characters on MFS volumes, it’s just that if you browsed these volumes in the Finder, the Finder would crash!

I’ve got a blog post in the work that is going through some of the wackiness I’ve seen in the old Mac OS filesystem API, and I’ve recently been on the RetroDev Discord helping some people write file handling code for classic Mac OS programs.
The card issuers do their individual basic fraud detection (e.g. security code) but we built our own on top after users asked for something more advanced. Imagine Stripe seeing data across all the card networks, compound that with customer info (like email or IP, which card networks don’t always collect) across all businesses on Stripe, then that’s fed into our ML network that’s constantly tuned by Stripe engineers. And then businesses have the opportunity to customize all that with Radar.
now where’s that plucked chicken...

Some more context on this: the actual problem I'm trying to solve here is displaying "wide" tables in Datasette - for example this one: https://global-power-plants.datasettes.com/global-power-plan...

I want the table to scroll horizontally so that the map can stay visible.

The two complaints I've had from users about this are:

1. They didn't realize it could be scrolled, so they missed out on the extra columns. I'm probably going to fix this using some kind of visual indication - maybe a shadow.

2. Mouse users have to scroll to the very bottom of the page in order to find the horizontal scrollbar. I'm looking at adding a duplicate scrollbar at the top of the table using the trick implemented by https://github.com/avianey/jqDoubleScroll/blob/master/jquery... (re-implemented not to depend on jQuery)

It's really frustrating how tricky this is.

This is such a minor thing compared to the actual tech you're building, for which you're rightly getting plenty of appreciation throughout this discussion.

But:

Autogenerated documentation really sucks as well, no matter if it is tree, graph, or wiki based. (Which are all the same thing, in the end)

The bane of my existence in the last 24 hours is a typical example: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/rtl/fgl/tfpgmap...

There are links that go places, but nothing anywhere actually shows working code examples, or even non-working fragments.

One of the reasons actual civilians were able to write their own programs back in the 1980s was that Turbo Pascal, and Visual Basic had decent manuals, and there were plenty of "dummies" guides as supplements.

Documentation should include working example code for each and every library, function and property supplied.

Thanks for the reply. I think there is strong potential to do both accommodation and workstation renting.

Especially if you are out working during the day, you could actually rent out your own desk space, rather than additional space.

Essentially you are right - unless offices close down big time, there is going to be less supply for workplaces than for holiday accommodation.
It's not cultural. I think the agencies are trying to put in every single keyword and "skill" to get past algorithmic filters and also make sure non-technical managers see the words they are looking for.

At a past role we were looking for a contract Tableau person and one of the agencies that was approved by HR sent me 20+ resumes. All of them were 5+ pages, with things like "Made a Bar Chart in Tableau," "Made a Pie Chart Tableau", etc.

After looking at 10 of these, I told our HR exec these resumes all looked the same and I thought they were fake. I had a meeting with the agency rep and they said they smiled when I said these resumes were BS. Their response was "Usually we send resumes to a manager and they have a 30 minute phone conversation with some of them. After that they sign a contract with one of them."

The point is, a lot of hiring managers want a person to do X on a contract basis, but they don't understand X or have anybody in their group that does X. For all they know, connecting to a SQL database and making a bar chart is rocket science. These agencies target these managers.

I did end up interviewing 2 people from that agency, both of which were actually quite good with Tableau. Of course, those people were curated by the agency after I made my comment.
I agree 100% but his path to the grail was stifled where he was.

He made the right decision to escape but maybe he would have been better off living like Grigori Perelman and devoting himself mind body and soul to the grail. That’s what it takes, he should have left as soon as he felt the misalignment with the grail and the toy models he was working on as he was involved in fruitless make work.

Yes, exactly. At least, that certainly fits with my understanding
Most people want to hire the best candidates they can despite some of the misaligned incentives. You don't want to spend overtime on someone else's bug because you hired poorly. The risk of a smaller bonus or less promotion chances is complicated as sometimes there is more available if the teams performance improves as a whole. When you deliver on a major project the team's pie is often much larger, and even if you end up with a smaller slice of said pie you're usually better off.
I'm not in a position to give you specifically financial advice, but there's no easy money to be made in GME, the entire thing is incredibly risky. The LEAPS for GME in the 10-50 dollar strike price range are all pricing in premiums of 30-50%, meaning the price of GME needs to go below half the strike price before it pays out.

In other words, best case scenario is GME drops from 300 dollars to 10 bucks and then you make 100% on your money. That's not really a nice profit for the risk you're taking.

I've noticed this too in other fields. I wonder if it's because of the internet? There's so many information out there. Not to mention there are so many sources you can look up to study. You can go to YouTube now and look up Tchaikovsky violin concerto and find a ton of videos that one might be able to study.

I only played the violin casually when I was young. But I would've loved if I had vast libraries of music, videos, etc. available to me in the 90's. I think I would've been much better.

A recent example for me is photography. When I started to learn photography about 5-6 years ago, I was able to find so many resources on the net to improve quickly. You can find so many examples of good photos of every genre these days. It would've been harder 15+ years ago if I had to scour magazines or photo books to find inspirations, or if I wanted to study a certain technique.
The way you describe it, switching to a new credit card is a slightly easier way to get rid of a recurring charge than going through the proper channels and calling to cancel a subscription, and people who do so are just being lazy.

But in reality, many companies make it nearly impossible to cancel a subscription, even when the customer has the right to do so. I have experienced cases where the only way to cancel is to call a designated phone number, but you're put on indefinite hold by the phone system and can never actually get through to the person who can cancel. Or you need to fax a cancellation request, and somehow the system never actually processes it, despite repeated attempts.

So, in these cases, cancelling an old card is an act of desperation, not an act of laziness.
idk i think its good to be like wtf but then have enough people that use it to get you wondering more... then eventually winning you over. You only know in hindsight if it was worth it to you but then we like to justify that it was before we went through it. I think of it like the tech is earning your respect, not the other way around. It helps me sleep at night in believing i'm not a total tool whether its true or not.

> Could we do this without burning more energy than entire countries?

Based on my (arguably poor) ability to predict the future the answer seems to be a "No, crypto energy consumption will always be more than most countries".

Other people like the ETH and Nano developers seem to believe the answer is "Yes it is possible to be more efficient with crypto mining". However, I don't know their stance on "Will the energy consumption still be more than most countries?"
Hard agree. Finding information on SO has always been much easier for me by asking Google to search there than by using the local search bad.
It's a theoretical problem. The window-management parts of sway are tiny and having them in the same process means you don't have to do IPC every time your windows do something. That simplicity means it's easier to write code that doesn't crash.

Most of the heavy-lifting is done in wlroots anyway. wlroots based compositors really do implement just their own flavour of compositing what you see on the screen on top.

That said, you still can use IPC, if you really want to; I have an external window manager that augments Sway's tiling system via its i3-compatible IPC mechanism to arrange my windows in a way that Sway doesn't do natively. If you really wanted to, there's nothing stopping you from writing a wayland compositor that uses an external window manager.

At any rate, I don't buy the reliability argument at all. I've used sway since 0.10 or something, and I only ever remember crashing it once, and I fixed that bug myself. :P

On my iPhone, not only do I have invisible scrollbars, but when they do show up, it's in the middle of the screen. And not always exactly at the same spot.

Someone said it's a bug, and goes away if you don't use 'reduce motion' under accessibility settings. But it's been around for several versions of iOS, so I don't know that it's a priority to fix.
I had the same problem and tried a bunch of stuff (mediawiki, confluence, GitHub wiki, gitlab wiki, shared drive, Wordpress, SharePoint) and currently just use GitLab pages because the fork/merge flow for markdown was easier than trying to grant access and moderate a wiki.

It’s still easy to solicit edits, but the issue/question flow is helpful, and have some review process seems to help. Lots of people struggle with git mental models, even using the built in browser IDE in GitLab and GitHub. But most engineers seem to be able to handle.
I took (and passed) my CCP exam at the end of December and was not expecting the level of nannying and sniping that the online proctor dealt out. I have a mild case of dyslexia so in all of my practice tests I read the questions aloud to myself as that aids three-fold (at least) in speed of comprehension for me. So when exam time came, since I'm the only one in my house, I started reading the questions aloud and was IMMEDIATELY chastised by the proctor and told to shut up -- it's a SILENT test! Okaaaay... so I mouthed the words to mimic the dual sensory experience and was chastised yet again: I have to be PERFECTLY STILL otherwise their crappy "is the person sitting still at looking at the computer and not a cheating materials" software would register red instead of green. Nevermind the fact that this is arguably a violation of the ADA (failure to provide an adequate accomodation to my dyslexia): you do things the way the proctor demands or you're dismissed on the spot and you don't get your money back. Ditto if I slumped forward and rested my head in my hands as a read. Heck, even when following all of their pedantic rules I still got the "status red" warning even when I was being perfectly still (probably because I'm 195 cm tall and looking down at my laptop instead of directly at it?). Fortunately the CCP test was easy and I was very well prepared for it but had this been a harder test or one for which I wasn't so well prepared the degree of distraction -- checking to see that I'm "status green" or not -- and petty interruptions from the proctor might have been the difference between passing or not. As much as I like being able to take the test from home I hope there's an alternative to e-Stalag Pearson for my next exam.

A chunk of code that is running in production for more than 30 years and should be considered battle tested. In my experience Wayland compositors crash much more often than X11 despite the supposed reduced complexity. The last time X11 server crashed on me was in 2004 if I remember correctly.

I very much disagree. On all of the mobile devices I've used it has never been clear that scrolling is a thing unless there's a scrollbar.
