As a senior software engineer in the embedded space, I haven't had to work full-time from an office since... 2003?

AFAICT, most engineers have the option to put in 1-2 days a week remotely, and in-office days can be significantly shifted(i.e. I know a guy who works 6am-3pm).

FWIW, I might personalize an office, but if I have a cubicle I keep it pretty sterile. I'd be happy to share a cube with another engineer provided there was a way to switch the configuration(monitor positioning, keyboard, mouse) fairly quickly.
> Working hours taking up so much of our life is an orthogonal, but not totally unrelated issue.

Well, we can complain about it, but it's a fact of life. It's almost like complaining that gravity drags us down :-)

Plus, for a lot of people does give them... something to do. A purpose, an activity, a place where they can use their skills and use their intellect.

It's hard to do this alone if everyone else is working. I guess you could try mingling with the rich people and join charities?
I wonder if environmental regulation makes it harder to manufacture in the US, more specifically california.
Is it better to be beholden to another party, or be the one the other party is beholden to? Which also means you are more self-reliant. If trade relations soured to the point no more chips exported to your country, how would your country handle that? How long would it be before other fabs could even come close to competing?
Agreed. My Silicon Valley tech company had me start working from home on March 6. The valley was VERY early on shutdowns. It seems silly and insane to go back to in-office in a very hurried manner when, for most people, this is working fine. Daily infections are many orders of magnitude higher today than they were in early March of last year when there were only, what, a couple hundred cases in the entire STATE?

I won't discount how hard remote work has been for many people, but the fact of the matter is, continuing to do it for a little while longer is far less risky from the company's perspective than pulling the trigger in the first place, 1 year ago. It's largely been a successful move.

As for lying to get the vaccine, yeah. I'd say that once the 65+ population had been eligible for awhile, and the state opened it up to a lot more people, whatever moral hesitancy towards lying that there might have been, has largely evaporated. I've heard plenty about strategies, what vendors don't check.

I'm no in a huge hurry, so I'll wait. But that's just me.
I think perhaps words are getting in the way. I don't think passion and reason are contradictory. I think they're complimentary. Competitive chess might be a good example. And plenty of people here are both passionate about various technical topics, but still are very rational about them.

I agree that people shouldn't fake qualities. But neither do I think everybody will be equally good at every job. E.g., I can do sales, but I just don't like it. I'll just never be as good at it as somebody who really enjoys the work.
So how often would you refer to people from India as Asians, should you use the word?

I think you missed the point. He isn't going to outright say "If China decides to follow-through on their threats to invade Taiwan it will cause a worldwide disruption to technology".

But at the end of the day, that IS reality, and it's a systemic threat to both Europe and the US. The fact it's self-serving doesn't make the statement any less factually accurate or important.

My dad smoked 2 pack a day, I hated it. He was an early riser and by the time I got out of bed there was a haze hanging in the kitchen/dining room, everyday for most of my childhood.

On the bright side, I wanted nothing to do with cigarettes from a young age.

I took the family to Europe in 2019, in terms of smokers and smoking it was like going back in time compared to the US.
I really enjoyed Snow Crash; I felt that Seveneves was two completely different books that were coincidentally in the same universe, nether of which felt bad in isolation, but they definitely didn’t feel unified.

I wasn’t a fan of Quicksilver, but as that was the first historical novel I’ve listened to, and as it was award winning, I assume it must be more about my tastes than the quality of the writing?
thanks a lot, yea it makes sense.
Edit: it seems weird when i think that on the blog it takes 490 instructions whereas in my case it takes 360. That is roughly 26% less instructions required than on blog.
Instructions per cycle are more or less same on both results, telling me that my M1 Air is somehow using less instructions to run the same code (or is faster)
EV's may not completely solve the pollution problems because, as I was pointed out, the particles from the asphalt and the tires are actually major pollutants.

Apparently, the dark greasy stuff that you can see covering everything close to vehicle roads is not coming from the fumes but from the asphalt, tires and brakes.

Yeah, but I think putting it in the worker was about making the timer able to “go off” at a specific time, while the page is backgrounded.

Comments in this thread represent what’s wrong with the industry.

The article references sexual harassment, the commenters care about market share.

Did you know it’s important to hold people accountable more, the more power they have?

It’s one thing if you disagree, but making it about “winners” and “losers” and not about victims is how we ended up creating toxic workplaces.

Even moving the combustion byproducts from where the people are to where the power plants are is a small win. That the plants can more easily install scrubbers for some pollutants is a further small win. That they are more efficient (even with 15% charging losses) is another small win. That the use of renewables can grow over time without car owners having to upgrade is another small win.

Stack up enough small wins and you can get to sizeable gains.
> Not a chance. The semiconductor industry, perversely, has no idea how to put computers to use, and the leadership and organizational structures are aligned against that kind of achievement ever coming from within (or being airdropped in by a leadership hire who cuts across the lanes from another industry) and making the necessary top-down sweeping changes).

I've seen attitudes like this in the industry many times, and every time such "bright idea man" comes, a previously well faring company dies.

Take a look at Sun Micro, people now will never believe that they once had ambitions to "corner" the server/internet market the very same way those bright "financial strategist" boys suggesting chip companies to "go undercut this, and that, and we will own the Internet!"
Even for your state issued driving license?
You can literally take the oil we use right now to power cars and dump it in a generator to get electricity, and not only would you go farther but do it with less pollution at places where pollution matters less.

"Where will the electricity come from" is unadulterated FUD.
I hope you're right, but all it takes is one economic downturn and we're all back to begging for whatever job we can get, willing to jump through nearly any hoop. Things can change a lot over the years. I hope you're right though. 20 years ago I had to wear a tie and slacks to work(embedded s/w engineer for Casio).

I feel like this "just javascript" trope really needs to die. JSX is not "Just Javascript", and magically reactive `foo = bar` assigments are not "Just Javascript". But frankly, that doesn't really matter one bit anyways; it's fairly nitpicky to object to different control flow syntaxes, when at the end of the day you're just rendering data from a request to screen. I'm sure not many people would be willing to argue that throwing promises (as react suspense supposedly does) is a holy grail of frontend development, even though it is "just javascript".

C* executives are normally prevented from accessing these systems directly for accounting reasons. I'm certain the person meant that it was inappropriate for the CEO of Reddit to have the ability to edit the production database, not that they didn't understand how DB ACLs work.

I've worked on production DBs that have had these kinds of restrictions- like, an alert gets sent if an SVP accesses a system. There are a lot of good reasons for this but most of them come down to avoiding fraud.

Software engineer here who before the pandemic had a setup on the sofa or kitchen table. That’s fine for doing a few hours work in the evening. It starts to get ergonomically painful as a full time setup. It’s also annoying sharing a room with my partner who needs to be in meetings all day while I’m trying to write code.
The article itself is fairly generic. A rehashing of why Stallman was out in the first place, noting that he was recently re-appointed, and some quotes about why he shouldn't be involved.

The Road to 2M WebSocket Connections in Phoenix
"A couple of weeks ago I was trying to benchmark the number of connections and managed to get 1k connections on my local machine. I wasn’t convinced by the number so I posted in IRC to see if anyone had benchmarked Phoenix channels. It turned out they had not, but some members of the core team found the 1k number I provided suspiciously low. This was the beginning of the journey."
If vaccinated people can still spread the virus why would a "critical mass" of vaccinations change anything?

Herd immunity relies on the fact that either having been vaccinated or recovered from the disease prevents you from spreading the disease to those that have not yet been vaccinated or can't get vaccinated.
We've always got Nuclear energy and that will scale pretty much to the moon - old generation reactors have all sorts of fatal flaws including requiring a fuel that we have trouble acquiring, but that problems mostly been solved.

Nah - I think your gut reaction is mostly just decades of propaganda painting fossil fuels as a necessary evil.

On the topic of pure renewables - hydro definitely can't scale, we can get a lot more out of it then we currently are but it's comparatively not clean and most locations don't have unlimited options for power harnessing - wind and solar scale up pretty ridiculously and in most parts of the world one or the other is going to be quite accessible and, we've also got geothermal and some other options that we can look at.

Beyond that we can look into demand reduction, the dead simplist of these is insulation/passive cooling requirements on housing and taxing private transportation to encourage ride-sharing especially in the commercial realm.

We've got some great options to look at if only the coal barons would STFU and go away.
Many would argue that it’s unhealthy to rely on your work for social bonds. I much prefer keeping my social circle and my work circles completely separate. Wfh means I can spend more time socializing with those I care about.

> I'm not sure how many tech workers didn't already have some kind of desktop computing arrangement at home but I have to imagine it's a miniscule number.

I thought the same as you, and then I saw a lot of people at work not have home setups, either because of space or other reasons. It was surprisingly common!
I'm the exact opposite, I absolutely hate pytest fixtures. They are effectively global state, so adding a fixture somewhere in your code base might affect the tests in a completely different location. This gets even worse with every fixture you add because, being global state, fixtures can interact with one another – often in unexpected ways. Finally, readers unfamiliar with your code won't know where the arguments for a given `test_xy()` function come from, i.e. the dependency injection is completely unclear and your IDE won't help you much.

There are so many other (better) ways to achieve the same goal, such as decorators or – as already mentioned by emptysea in their sibling comment – explicitly invoking some function from within the test to do the setup/teardown.
Glad to see that Mozilla refuses to tolerate neurodiversity. Socially awkward people deserve to be permanently ostracized from society, am I right? I'm proud to use a web browser developed by people who offer no quarter to autists, schizos, and the rest of them loonies; if they wanted inclusion, they should just stop being mentally unwell - it's all in their heads, after all! Thank you, Mitchell Baker, very cool.

...like, I ain't saying I like the guy or anything - he definitely seems like someone I wouldn't enjoy interacting with day-to-day - but I'm skeptical of the idea that having heterodox opinions or being a bit of a stubborn ass should be a fireable offense. If he was outright sexually assaulting people, or abusing a position of power for sex, or something like that, then sure, villainize the guy (and - better yet - pursue criminal charges), but as it stands, it seems like his worst actual offense was being a stereotypical socially awkward nerd.

But hey, if Mozilla doesn't want to associate with the FSF for whatever reason, then that's their perogative. I'm sure they'll stop using GNU and its components company-wide any day now.
Stationary power generation even with fossil fuels is still more efficient than ICEs. This is just FUD.
When the government wants a website down, they ask the domain controller to take down the domain. If Backpage was guilty, the government should have just asked everyone to stop providing services to them.

Backpage had many legit sections like Craigslist for trading used items and jobs, and there were not any explicit indicators that the girls were not offering their services voluntarily like many other websites that are active to this day.

Once again, in SV/NYC/etc very few due to real estate costs. Most of my peers who aren't married have room mates.
> IDK why you think banks can magically predict what inflation will be.

They don't need to predict the exact number. They know what the long-term target rate is (about 2%) and will tend to err on the high side. In a particularly bad year they might lose out with unexpectedly high inflation, but they don't consistently experience bad years. This is their core business and they're pretty good at ensuring that it comes out in their favor on average. They certainly wouldn't persist in making loans where they expected to receive less back in principle and interest (plus any subsidies, which just means someone else is paying back part of the loan) than what they loaned out after adjusting for inflation.

Secured debt such as mortgages isn't as bad, though I have yet to see a mortgage were the interest payments were less than inflation over the full mortgage period. So instead of losing 2% purchasing power per year to inflation you lose 3-6% in interest to the bank (during a time of historically low mortgage rates). And as you pointed out, when it comes to unsecured debt at 12+% APR it hardly matters what the inflation rate might be; compounding interest payments will far outpace any devaluation of the principle. The problem there is that the inflation discourages saving, which would otherwise have allowed those affected to avoid interest payments altogether.

In any case the main point was that the argument that inflation benefits debtors only applies to unexpected inflation. When it's systemic and predictable, like the 2% rate target the FED claims to be aiming for, and lenders are free to adjust their rates accordingly, there is no reason to think that debtors would have any inherent advantage.
It really is pretty terrifying. I'd go as far to say that the most likely thing the next World War (pray there isn't one) will be fought over is TSMC.

You can adopt a dog from your local humane society for very little. When I say "train" I mean "find a dog that isn't going to eat your chickens or run away if you can't keep them in a fenced area".

Unless you've actually got cattle you need herded and protected from wolves, pretty much any mutt over 60lbs is going to be good enough to keep the predators away. They'll also be happy to help the rabbits if you let them.

My point is that the code that shown in this tutorial is, from our point of view, "wrong" at this stage.

We _don't_ want people writing action constants, object spreads, or action creators by hand any more, or splitting Redux code across separate files for "actions, constants, and reducers". We _do_ want them using Redux Toolkit as the standard approach for writing Redux logic. Similarly, while `connect` still works, we really want people using the hooks API instead.

I obviously can't change the thousands of Redux tutorials that are out there already, but I really want any new tutorials written in 2021+ to be following the patterns we recommend. Using these recommended patterns results in code that is shorter, it's easier to understand, and eliminates many common bugs that we've seen over the years.
I want to like Firefox. It is at least a tolerable alternative to Chrome.

But the Mozilla foundation just taints it. Every time they come out with one of their sanctimonious PR releases they make me want to have less to do with them. I think they've completely lost their focus.

I end up bouncing between Chrome, Firefox, and Brave. Brave makes me the happiest, but it's a minor player, and I'm worried about it's long-term prospects.
This might be naive but, in the age before spell check, I wonder if a lot of people consistently made spelling mistakes like this. I mean you wouldn’t know you were wrong unless you checked in the dictionary.
Mostly true, but some is fluid leaks, of which there are fewer in a typical EV (fewer fluid systems, more constant pressures in them, and EVs are newer and less frequently in disrepair; that last point is a downside in some ways as almost no one will be driving a 2015 Tesla in 2070 while there are tens of thousands of 1960s era Mustangs still operating).
