I'm definitely not the intended audience for these emails, but as anecdata: whenever I get a flashy HTML email, a breaker trips in my brain and I immediately switch to "hunt for the unsubscribe button" mode. It's a good thing that I can't unsubscribe from my power company's alert emails, because I would have.
There is a difference between being friendly and becoming friends. The latter is dangerous and you will be fooled in thinking your coworkers actually care about you and you need to drink the corporate kool-aid, work overtime and be a true best friend to everyone.

If you are going out binge drinking with your co-workers, you're doing it wrong because it blurries the lines between professional and personal life in my humble opinion.

Very few deep friendships develop at work, at best they will be acquaintances you see once in a while.

So by all means, be nice and cooperative but keep your distance.

Yo! Same! I started playing boardgames with my partner a 2 years ago. I was such a noob that I lost to everyone in every game. He is really good and after I learned all his tricks the only two that I think are remaining that makes me consistently second is a) more risk taking and b) being first player.

Which makes sense the higher the risk the higher the reward; when he wins its by quite a bit and when he "loses" its either a couple of points behind me or ahead of me
Exactly. People with school-aged kids had to deal with them being home - and then many kids were doing distance learning and one or more parents had to become teaching-assistants - or at the very least, "tech support" for the myriad of cobbled-together distance learning solutions/issues/gear (many kids may have even had to share limited computer resources/bandwidth).

Their spouses who may have worked outside the home, were home.

If they had not worked from home previously, chances are - they didn't have a dedicated office space - or even equipment.

Add to that the constant low-level stress of being in a pandemic with constant media impressions, massive social change events/activities (at least for those in North America with BLM and the moronic exit of the Orange-moron), and it isn't a stretch to think that productivity has been down somewhat.
This right here. I had a project in 2003 that I started in Perl and wanted to do right with OO. That lasted two days. I switched to Python and have never turned back

"a commute is forced puts your brain into the mode where you solve creative problems in the background without thinking about them"

I don't think about work outside of work, which includes commuting. I may have an epiphany while showering or talking a walk, but in the car I listen to music or podcasts. That is Me Time, not Employer Time.
Yeah, I've written this code twice now after seeing the algorithm described years ago in an article.

I did add my own "skew" parameter that would fake a little bit of horizon roll (skew by shifting up and down the column-renders to the screen along a shallow diagonal ... if you know what I mean). If you kept it small it looked like roll and added a sense of realism to the motion.

> You're going to spend nearly 1/3 of your waking hours with these people. You don't need to be best friends forever, but working somewhere that you don't at least have some friendly interaction and culture sounds utterly miserable.

Why are you assuming remote == unfriendly? That's silly.

What people are pushing back against isn't being friendly or developing a good working relationship with your peers. People are pushing back against "Not mandatory but you will be judged for not attending" after work happy hours, or extra-curricular work events where you are expected to attend during your free time. Things that seek to place your coworkers as your friends, and take away from time you could spend with your family and outside-of-work friends.

This parasitic work culture seeks to make the workplace replace your family and friends and it's all centered around the office.

I don't understand why the identity of the guidelines' author matters.

I would think their suitability is independent of that.
It's probably closer! I believe California leads the pack in that area — for example, if you're poor enough, you can get better insurance coverage for transgender care (as in, no-argument treatments and surgeries) than you can get with a $1000/month private insurance plan.
This is ultimately a matter of perspective.

If you're a cornucopian, and you're certain that new technology will unlock much more efficient smelting/separation/filtration/asteroid mining techniques, then sure, gold is virtually limitless.

If you're a realist, you understand that ore quality degrades as a function of the fact that we smelt the highest purity ores first, and that while (usually very small) new vein discoveries do occur, they occur as already understood as a statistical variance against a much much larger backdrop of averaging functions.

I'm not discounting the possibility of an extraction breakthrough - it's certainly possible. But revolutions of the kind you're assuming are certain to occur extremely infrequently.

And to that point, I'm a "very long term corncucopian", in the sense that a thousand years out, we will probably eventually realize the Minsky dream of nanobots that can act effectively as the Maxwell's Demon of elemental extraction. But I'm old enough, and have awaited the Singularity long enough, to realize that optimism doesn't make a science, and that this won't be for at least a few hundred years, at minimum. (I'll leave what 300 years of quantum computing work could do to 256 bit hash collisions as an exercise for the reader.)

And that's assuming that we even survive the coming climate and/or resource catastrophe that awaits 10 billion souls in 20 or so years.

This one creates a Flappy Bird clone by hand from within SMW, using the controller under ordinary manual control, on an original, unmodded SNES (with a couple or other standard controllers attached with buttons taped down).

Explains the process in detail, which includes creating a kind of crude "IDE" using the score table as feedback for hex values input to make the process faster and less error-prone:

They need your SS# if they are paying you and need to withhold taxes. They don't need to do a credit check unless you are borrowing from them, which is unusual. For financial aid, if they want to verify your income, they can request that you have the IRS send them a transcript, which they will receive directly from the IRS with SS # redacted. The “need to be able to track your records through name changes” does not mean that they need your SS #. “They need your SSN”: Usually they do not, but US citizens have been trained to believe that they do.

EDIT: It’s been a long time since I was in school, and, frankly, I was expecting someone with fresher knowledge to come up with a counter-example. So, see the comment above about an IRS form 1098-T.
For non-mathematicians (although some post-secondary maths is probably required), I'd also recommend Spivak's "Category Theory for the Sciences" (MIT Press, 2014) and Milewski's "Category Theory for Programmers" (available online at https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-p...). I liked it enough to buy the hardcover.
The whole "remote work is the new normal" didn't last long.
I've had the misfortune of working at a few places were many/most of these things were pretty universally frowned upon.

> - Standards

Resistance to using formatters and linters because they prevent you from merging code more quickly; "it's annoying". Two of the two-dozen devs on the product decide that they want to use NetBeans instead of Eclipse even though the formatter is built for the the latter and everybody else uses it so they can't format their code properly.

> - Unit testing

I recently went four years without writing a single unit test professionally. When I _did_ write unit tests I worked on one team where the only important metric was coverage percentage, not corner/edge cases or intentionally trying to break the software. People would write tests for auto-generated getters and setters in C#. That's right - they would _test the compiler_ just to satisfy a business metric.

> - Design patterns/SOLID principles

My tech lead at a previous job refactored a pretty substantial service I wrote with no team input to remove any semblance of organization or convention. The repositories, factories, and facades I built got merged into a giant single "helper" object just to follow some weird anti-pattern that they'd established. It wasn't testable, there was no separation of concerns, and it ended up being nigh-unreadable.

> - Learning and setting DevOps and ALM (They like using it)

> - Fixing the build

I've been the "CI guy" at almost every software job I've had because some people are afraid of the command line and lack an understanding of the build tooling outside of the three SCM operations they know through Tortoise and the play button in their IDE.

I could go on but you get my point. Software development is a vast industry and there are some pretty dark corners. For every high-performing team that has tech-savvy devs there are body shops full of people that are trained by rote to "build software". It's not pretty.
> how are they not serfs?

I'm gonna go with: I can choose not to work for my "owner". (you can argue if you want to be extreme that I'd have to leave Europe, but I could do that.)

Also, I get healthcare whether or not I'm employed, so that's nice.
You're probably not a user of the average PC and internet connection out there. On low-tier equipment well-designed can turn very quickly into utterly frustrating.

But you are right about the last part...when the user's UI locks up for a few seconds your email is certain to grab their attention. Just not in the way your carefully designed newsletter was intended to be remembered, though.

Plain text mails work better in every possible situation and are guaranteed to be formatted in a readable way. Meanwhile your average marketing newsletter is almost guaranteed to not be displayed in the correct manner as most decent email clients will just outright block any image content by default, and if your designer had the bright idea to also embed all text in images so their carefully selected font looks nice everywhere, well, I can't see anything without manually enabling pictures and then waiting 5+ seconds to see what the email is even about. And why would I do that?

> supposedly full of disgusting poor people and criminals, and run by slumlords who skimp on maintenance.

Interestingly, back when housing was more affordable, they were, for that reason (using the lingo, of course not judging people). The people who were disadvantaged enough to not be able to enter into the "normal" housing market would have had rough enough lives that it would have manifested in the ways that might have caused others to label them as "disgusting, poor people," and because they would have had few other options, those that operated the parks could easily take advantage of them.

Now, however, the image is perhaps what perpetuates the culture of trailer parks in some areas. People who have a choice go elsewhere, instead of bringing their advantages and positive influences into certain places, do so even it's not overall optimal to their lives, because of an old heuristic. It might be a good financial decision (which I myself have taken advantage of) for people who are less able to afford typical housing, but they may avoid it because of the stigma, and the cycle continues.

This is a neat article, and I believe an important one. When we get together with people whose lives and circumstances differ, we all can potentially benefit.
> Utter quackery is not good.

That's the OP's point. The EmDrive is utter quackery. It cannot exist because it necessarily violates the laws of thermodynamics. Anything that disproves those will literally undermine the entire foundation of what we understand about the universe. It would be directly comparable to discovering that the earth is flat.
The framing of "science becomes like a religion" is just projection, nothing else...

For many of us, we just accept that science is, what it is, and its the facts we know at this time. That doesn't mean unwavering absolute faith as implied by saying it's religious, it's just we don't feel the need to have knowledge be anything else other than knowledge that we continuously build upon.

Of course in general, lots of scientists know much more than other scientists and there is always bickering, people who have their identities married to it and so much more - but often times those very same people are often religious too so i question if the religiosity argument really exists or if its merely weaponized by people who fear the comfort of others who are ok with science without faith.
Great, so why don't you go create your central repository of art ownership, launch it to the world, and let me know how many people use it over NFTs.

You don't get to decide what the best/worst solution is. We already have a mechanism for that called the free market, and the free market is disagreeing with you. Seems like your take on the world isn't as accurate as you believe it to be.

To be fair, a lot of traditional science and engineering follows the same pattern. I'm a SW dev embedded in an R&D engineering organization and the main difference is that SW development has faster cycles and less established practices but if you scale up SW dev timelines to match ME and EE cycles it's not that different.

Preventing bugs is something especially our materials and system interaction engineers are very aware of. You don't want a consumer product to fail in the field and cause damage or harm so that's goal #1.
