Nixon actually presented a Health Care Plan

Nixon's Words “Without adequate health care, no one can make full use of his or her talents and opportunities. It is thus just as important that economic, racial and social barriers not stand in the way of good health care as it is to eliminate those barriers to a good education and a good job.”

We don't require any coordination with ours. It's low cost for us.

We may make the occasional announcement that v5 our api is coming soon which has x features based on feedback from other teams. Then announce when we've released it.

Its a product, and we own it.
As someone with an irresponsible amount of IOT devices, I try to hardwire everything to avoid being 'that asshole' on the block. I have my wifi decluttered to being just my phone, work laptop (when I bring it home), my boyfriend's phone, and two bluetooth wireless headsets for our two computers.

I have 3 music receivers (for android casting), 7 TVs, weather station, coffee maker, fridge, google home controlled lights (40ish), and other stuff all hardwired. A lot of which I had to modify or build the controllers myself to get them off wifi. The lights all run off POE.
>> Didn't they make a huge deal about explaining why 64 bit was a bad idea?

Yes, they did.

I remember very well multiple MS employees who were present at a conference I attended, explaining the counter-intuitive 'notion' that VS would be worse off in 64-bit.

At the time it seemed it ridiculous to me.
Paint Shop Pro 9 user here, and I dread the day it no longer works for me.

when did we start saying “api” to apparently exclusively mean “a http/s POST endpoint that returns json”?

a button you click to download a csv is an api, too!
This article does not answer the only question I had: where does it go? My phone cannot scan any of these pictures.
There is a huge push for school vouchers, with about half of our local school board being occupied by folks who have kids who attend the private schools in the closest urban area. These individuals want their property taxes to be given to them as a voucher to use where they please instead of straight to the schools from the state.

There are others who have taken a more direct approach and sue the local districts for 'access' complaints. They claim they should be able to benefit from extracurricular activities in their district (sports, test preparation, science clubs, that sort of thing), like home-school kids can; even though their kids go to private schools. The districts don't have the money to fight lawsuits.
I'm not sure what your counterpoint is in reference to. I didn't see anything about tracking or recovery from breaking changes.
You can use CSS generators to avoid some time-consuming tasks. I made
One factor that's often ignored is that the space per person has steadily increased over time.

For example, in Germany the average floor space per resident has doubled from the 60s to now, so the same city now requires twice the living space, even with zero population growth! It seems to be similar in other countries. This is mostly due to fewer people living in the same space, not necessarily because housing units are growing.
Agreed. I think the distinction being made here is that it is whether it is an "unwanted foreign substance" at all. Some of the prevailing wisdom this article is countering portrays alcohol like vitamins (desirable and beneficial in safe amounts), rather than like high fructose corn syrup (undesirable in any amount but tolerable in small amounts).
Employee-status may come with certain benefits, but it also comes with many drawbacks and burdens for the employee.

For me, and probably many on this board, the biggest risk is "works-for-hire". Under US law, contractors have strong legal protections of their own intellectual protection. Whereas it's much easier for a W-2 employer to claim IP made in personal time.

I don't really care about healthcare of unemployment insurance. I'm well compensated enough that I can buy my own high-deductible insurance and have more than enough assets to feed myself between jobs. Forcing freelancers into W-2 status is just another example of the government screwing people over "for their own good".
I think we are supposed to impressed, but my first reaction to the headline was “Oh God, that engineering department must be a complete disaster”. If a deployment takes 20 seconds, that’s 2 hours per day spent deploying!

A few extra minutes spent planning and thinking could really reduce the number of deployments needed to a much more manageable number.
> the firewall instead says "do you want this port open to this device" [y/N]

That's exactly what I don't want to do. I have over 20 devices in the home LAN at any given point in time; why do you want to make my life difficult for no good reason?
I'm not a Hobbesian; though I take the point, but I believe that if the government disappeared, people would just start building up a local government to enforce established customs. If people really wanted to steal everything, the government couldn't stop them. The real check on violence is that people don't want to, and are quite happy with peaceful exchange according to their established views. Some places would probably fall into violence, but I think most would simply reorganize and keep going. Strong central governments typically arise from the efforts of a few elite, but decentralized governments themselves exist nearly throughout history because it is a useful construct for the people living in the different places to resolve disputes and live their lives in peace.
They're absolutely shooting themselves in the foot. They need Firefox to stand out from Chrome. Instead they keep trying to turn it into Chrome. There's still some things they have that keep me from switching like some level of support for a tree styled tabs addon, container tabs, and not crippling the abilities of uBO filters. But I'm wondering how long it will be before those advantages go away. The tree style tabs are already suboptimal since the Quantum release. They share the same sidebar as anything else that wants to display in a sidebar and the addon can't toggle the display of the normal tabs.
Prolog is great, but I wonder if it would be more successful as a library than as a stand-alone language? It seems like a tool you would reach for for very specific tasks in an application, rather then something you would program a whole application in.
The difference between a contractor and an employee isn’t arbitrarily. Basically, if you’re using company equipment, following the companies schedule, and don’t have a clear task with a clear finishing condition then you’re an employee.

Finding someone to fill in for a secretary on maternity leave is fine, but open ended contacts on their equipment and schedule without some specific task is just opening them up to lose another lawsuit.
Many companies will try to pull this. It is up to developers to not let them. Ideally we could leave it up to states to do something, like California has done (I have read these kinds of IPR agreements are non-enforceable if you work in California). Unfortunately, we have to do it ourselves. If top engineers refuse to enter into these agreements then companies will be forced to not use them in order to remain competitive. Of course, if you use the company's time, software, or hardware to create something then they own it as a work for hire. It's less clear if it's built on your own time with your own resources but using knowledge you learned as part of your job. Generally, from what I've read, you're in the clear so long as the knowledge is not proprietary - but I am not a lawyer. So be devout in separation of your IP and their IP, as church and state. This of course means being willing to walk if they require it as a condition of employment, but good developers have a lot of options in many markets.
Ugh this is so Shanghai and not in a good way. I lived in Shanghai for about 2 years. Certain 'design decisions' that they make are like Times Square with Chinese Characteristics. It feels like a pop-up ad in real life that you physically can't close. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not some architectural taste curmudgeon. I actually like the garish lighting and weirdly shaped vanity projects like the Bottle Opener. I just hate the buildings that literally become building-sized billboards when you look at the skyline at night.

Tell me - are there any possibilities of advancement in today's streamlined datacenter job? In the past, someone eager and capable might have been given training opportunities, but that doesn't really exist any longer, does it?
Yes, that would just compound the grief. Endless media articles on how certain employees are considered second class citizens at Google.
And yet people still think UBI will work.

It looks good but it is a ₹3699 ($49) purchase! I usually don't hesitate to pay for the software I use, but this is too high a price for a text editor. I will see if there is a way to demo it. Thanks for the suggestion.
HK is still stuck in the mindset of the cold war. He has not extricated himself from that and pretty much lives off his olive branch to China initiative. Cohen was a better resource on Russia.
I think their ideas make sense. There's not A REASON, there's probably a bunch. They list:

For some, unemployment benefits too generous.
For some, they are worried about getting sick.
For some, they're still needed at home
For some, the pay too low to want to work.
And for some, they're just reconsidering career decisions.

Add up all the "For Some" people, and that's probably a pretty big number.
You might consider R Markdown and knitr, which have supported Python and many other languages besides R for a long time, but the templates are stored as plain text rather than the terrible .ipynb format, and render to both html and pdf and support LaTeX.

Great this pulls Munin solidly into the early 10's.

Jokes aside, I feel the lack of vertical whitespace makes the site feel a bit markety. Like it's trying to force a lot of marketing information in a small amount of vertical space.
Then you get the worst of both worlds. You are in an industry where few very well tested releases are needed to meet SLA and customer expectations, but you have enough of the company looking at entirely different industries and wanting to follow their pipeline instead.
Beer Garden Anecdotes (Few Hiring Candidates, Increased Competition for Wages due to PPP2)

- We have seen approximately 1/10th the amount of applicants as compared to our hiring prior to Covid.

- We have reached out to 50+ people via the hiring platforms i.e. Indeed recommended candidates, with a very limited response rate.

- Of the 6 people who a) applied for our job AND b) responded to our requests for interviews, only one has shown up for their scheduled interview. He was immediately hired.

- The single hire we made, for $14/hr as a dishwasher, did not return on day 4 as he was offered a position at a larger restaurant for $18/hr. That is not a sustainable market rate we can offer. I assume they are increasing their hourly rate due to 1) lack of talent seeking jobs or 2) large influx of cash from PPP2.

- I had three scheduled interviews, and all three were no shows, sending messages of cancellation either 10 minutes before, or not at all.

- I reached out to all three of those after their missed interview times, and two have rescheduled their interviews for. Typically, we would not entertain a no-show like that, as dependability is critical on a small team, but we are not in a position to be picky. (I'm curious if it is possible to use these scheduled interviews in fraudulent claims of seeking but not finding work. We literally hired the one person who came in.)

- We have had job postings on Indeed.com, Craigslist.org, and Facebook for the past 3 weeks - as well as leveraging our website and social media posts.

- Our current team of 6 other people are all hires from before Covid.

I lived there for a bit, fire is another thing to watch out for. While I was there a huge fire got uncomfortably close. Check out http://socalmountains.com to get a preview of the local community there.

Gets crowded on weekends and holidays. There's definitely some antagonism towards the "flatlanders" - e.g. the people who don't live in the mountains, haha.
Especially when bennies plus side hustle gives you approximately the same overall income and more freedom than a McJob.
I assume some day they will want to use robots for this work. Amazon is already working on it for their warehouses. It is not much of a stretch to imagine they've had conversations about what physical work can be automated. I could be wrong.
Nixon was also quite racist. The War on Drugs targeted minority groups. There's a lot that could be written about all this.
This is not correct, both land and structure have differing but related values. With persistently increasing construction complexity and building code, replacement cost generously outpaces existing building value. At least from a USA perspective, many neighborhoods are stuck with older, dated housing stock that would be aesthetically better off scraped and rebuilt in modern form, but the existing home is too valuable and ground-up new construction too expensive relative to market.

In typical US middle-income neighborhood, a scraped lot isn't worth much because the cost to build a suitable replacement home is too high, above market rates per sf of living space. Its a risky investment, but someone may agree that the value is worth it and buy it down the road, or maybe not. The same home site with a decent (but boring) home in good marketable condition will be priced relative to median incomes and market values of surrounding neighbors. The home structure is the valuable, appreciated component in this scenario.

Home ownership certainly is an investment vehicle- tradable and you can gain or lose lots of money on it! its also the largest single investment for most/many people. Many investments have operating and maintenance costs, nothing wrong with having to fight some depreciating elements in an investment.

Land value is important. Structure value is important. Pin the failure on viewing homeownership as a "sure bet, can't lose" investment causing too many people to aim to high above market.
We were still in a HUGE recession when Regan took over and had a period of inflation and mortgages had an interest rate of 12% and higher.

This was more a reflection on how badly things went under Carter and not about Mondale. Mondale should have never been the candidate.

Perhaps I misinterpreted in the IBM kernel driver directory. I'm imagining a developer remotely accessing their IBM workstation.

The developer could contribute to a Free and Open Source IBM driver on their own time, and reasonably insist that IBM do not get to claim ownership, the same way anyone else can.

Whether that's a sensible choice of personal programming project, is another matter. It's unhelpful to muddy the waters.
Seems very different to the story in the legacy financial tech world (i.e. tech in old school investment banks and hedge funds) - often times contracting is preferred to being a full time employee. As a contractor you can get paid 1.5-2x+ what a FTE might get, albeit without insurance or vacation days. For insurance, many who are young and healthy (knock on wood) just shrug it off, while those who are married often times rely on their spouse's employer's plan.

I've seen contractors at IBs and hedge funds decline the offer to be converted to employees because it would mean a big paycut for them.

The 18 month period limit could be seen as a downside, but in this day and age when spending too much time at one company is ironically seen as a bad thing (unless maybe you're at a FAANG tier org), maybe it's not really a big downside either.

Other than that, at least in the legacy financial world, you don't get to put on a fancy but utterly meaningless (and quite frankly, stupid) "Vice President" or "Director" title the employees have.
Engineers think they are being cute when they do this. In reality it hampers new devs because you can't just look at a component and have an idea of what it's doing. I've been on projects like this and after a year I was still second-guessing myself.
Hit the nail on this one.
Unemployment isn't UBI. If you work you lose the unemployment money you would have got for free, hence the disincentive. UBI (most proposals) would supplement work not replace it.
judging from the page source it seems that Javascript developers hate minimalism.
Or even assaulting and/or arresting the bystander filming.
We're already using the new IR compiler on 1.4, but I'll check out 1.5!
Thanks :). When they are on Shepherd I am thinking about how to divide them out into interest beyond topics. i.e. I wouldn't want to pitch a WW2 book reading to people not interested in WW2.
In asymmetric and counter-insurgency warfare, they already are, because the battlefield is everywhere. Ditto for nuclear weapons.
I would (and do) consider it very suspicious.
Why don't companies pay more then? In Switzerland service employees make 20-35 dollars an hour. Is there some intrinsic reason why employers feel compelled to pay so little?
Same in Germany and Austria. Local farmers complain about a shortage of fruit pickers in the season even though there are plenty of able bodied unemployed locals with no skills or degrees but since they have the option of staying on unemployment, why would they do back-breaking work for 10-20% more money then what they get paid for sleeping in at home?

So they just import and abuse poor workers from Eastern Europe[1] living and working in illegal conditions, who have no better options back home than to do back-breaking work for what would be peanuts in Germany but somewhat-half-decent money back home.

The local authorities know about these illegalities regarding foreign worker exploitation but turn a blind eye as this keeps the meat and vegetables cheap in the supermarkets for the very price sensitive local consumers, since the farmers are all under the pressure of the big supermarket chains to deliver produce on time and on razor thin margins so they have no other way but to find cheap exploitable workforce to stay competitive or lose their contracts.

Welcome to 21st century European capitalism.

The problem is there's already a lot of demand for property in those smaller towns, at least the more desirable ones. So the locals are now the one's getting priced out of the market as more and more city-dwellers are moving to the popular smaller towns.

There isn't a whole lot that you can do to improve. Your cognitive abilities decline with age. Exercise, good sleep, mental stimulation and good social interactions slow down this decline. That's the best you can do - be healthy so you don't lose your mental abilities quite as quickly.
Fivebooks.com is very similar, and their interviews/articles are usually high quality content, not just publishing industry fluff that just want to push recently released books of questionable quality, in your face.
It is cute that this is implemented in the browser, but to be honest, this does not sound any different from a whole load of generative modular synth patches out there.
At what point do we simply admit that maybe just maybe common sense still applies even if it goes against a cultural zeitgeist?

If you increase the amount of money provided to people who aren't working then you change the cost benefit analysis of working a wage job.

The end game is higher prices at service businesses to allow them to pay people a higher wage to attract them.

A positive side effect I've noticed is that high school kids are getting hired in droves at local restaurants here.
Yep, that is due to some of the mess with the fake topic setup we have now. It is due to be cleaned up as we build out real topic support long term, and short term I am looking to improve that card format.
I don't know if companies don't "pay well," but the government certainly pays well enough for people not to need a job. Is that good? :) It is certainly a goal that some people strive for and we certainly have realized this goal now. Is society satisfied with this result?
Would it make more sense to have hyper flexible hours.

Say you pay 25$ an hour, but it's only 8 hours a week during peak ?

I think with the gig economy young people are used to only working when they want.
If you lost you job in the hospitality industry due to Covid-19, you'll think twice about working in the industry. And that's smart
Just look at the Nordic countries, very good unemployment benefits but we do not have any issues with people staying on benefits even if they could get a good paying job.

A UBI that works as e.g. a negative income tax would definitely work.

UBI seems very different? You lose unemployment benefits if you start working; you wouldn't lose UBI benefits.
