>So although there might be some pains and anxiety going back into the office, the biggest benefit for workers may be simple job security. Remember something every manager knows: The hardest people to let go are the ones you know.

That's about the most direct threat I have seen in a growing crop of media-supported articles about the importance of 'being present' at the office. What an absolute reversal of stance!
Talking about SETI, have there been any publications related to SETI@home which ended last year?
Dealing with food would be so much easier if it wasn't one of our main sources of pleasure and relief.

Alas, it is not so. That's why adopting proper diet and nutrition is complicated.
In my case, it went well.

I never really took my hand off the programming wheel, while being a manager. I just wasn't being paid for it (bonus was that I have a big open-source portfolio). I just did open-source work in nights and weekends.

When I left my last company, I just made it my full-time vocation, and that went quite smoothly.

I do this for the love of the craft; not the money.
Ouch. Another cult in action, just like Agile. What utter madness.
Credit card numbers, bank account numbers and suchlike often only dedicate a single decimal digit to the checksum which severely limits their ability to detect errors.

And if numbers are getting keyed in tens of thousands of times per day across a large business, and mistakes happen hundreds of times a week, a checksum that catches 95% of errors will still let tens of errors go undetected every week.
> "Choisir, c'est renoncer" (to choose is to give up).

This really resonates with me strongly.

Choice is usually portrayed as empowerment or a something you can do from position of empowerment. But choosing is resigning to your fate and loosing everything you have not chosen. The truly empowered are the ones that don't need to choose much.

And choice is not something you need to be empowered to do. There are really very few and very rare occasions where you truly have just one option. Usually when you think you have no choice, you really do, but you choose the current option that is not what you want because you still prefer it to all other you can imagine.

Awareness of that fact helped me in toughest times.
Also, 2nd mortgages aren't normally readily available. Particularly with such a small down payment. But maybe it's different for people making $200,000/year?

> create abstractions which would require 100s or 1000s of lines of code to duplicate.

I would like to see an example of this, I just don't think streaming libraries, or abstractions in general, can get rid of that much complexity. In most cases, abstractions can't really get rid of complexity, they just move it around.

The issue I have with streaming abstractions is that the implementation tends to be overly complex. For instance, Rx libraries tend to be thousands of lines of code, and they're often written in ways that make it impossible to trace code or understand a call-stack. It makes some things easier, but when you run into a problem it becomes a nightmare to debug.

I'm just not sure it's warranted a majority of the time. Those libraries tend to be huge because they have to cover every single use-case, and they work at a very high level of abstraction. When you're working with stream-like domains, it's often possible to implement the subset of what you would need of that streaming abstraction with normal code, and in a way which is much easier to understand and debug.

IMHO there should be a separate, encrypted-only, ID-required network for "serious internet business". Keep the free and open part open and free (and semi anonymous), but have another area which is more controlled. I'm not saying this would solve all problems, but I think it would help.
That’s one of the most surprising and unwelcome parts of getting older .... being tired.

It’s started at about 51 years old. Going to bed early, feeling so tired at the end of the day, seeing 9pm as “late”.

Not having the energy of earlier days.

I’m otherwise healthy but so damn tired all the time.
> The roots of the valorization of work may well have been religious, and maybe Christian (though I very much doubt it's exclusively Christian in its origin), but it's definitely spread throughout much of the world, even among the non-religious and even atheist population.

The article is referencing "The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism", which is a seminal work on the history and structure of labour. It does not, in any way, imply that this is a religious phenomenon any more than capitalism itself.
This went way off topic, and apparently one cannot make devil's advocate arguments on this site (or anywhere) without getting branded the devil.

My opinion is that there is no such thing as 100% self determination, whether for people or for groups of them called countries. We are social creatures and there is no way for us to exist without connections, social norms, etc. A group leaving one sphere of influence will necessarily fall into another one. Puppet or not is a matter of degree of control.

Ukraine's fight for independence is 90% financed by the USA (NPR's number, not mine). Is that really independent? I guess it is for the people already within the US sphere of influence: to them the story is "they are leaving the baddies and we are helping them do it".

To be within the US sphere of influence is self-defined as being free. Is it? Depends on who's making up the definitions I suppose. And now we are back on topic: there's probably no way to write a completely neutral article on a topic like this conflict. The sides can't even agree on what the phrases mean!
> "Choisir, c'est renoncer" (to choose is to give up).

Every decision for something is a decision against something. (Netflix Dark)
Exactly. The do / doing / doing-more / ... distinction is most likely just present, because C's threading/event handling model is too primitive. In a language like Go you would most likely write this as synchronous code without risking running out of OS threads. In Rust you would use tokio and async / await. No need to come up with all of these imaginary states.

Languages like C also make it notoriously hard to layer/decompose stuff. Why does DNS resolution and proxying need to be part of this state machine? I'm not saying that Go's net/http library is perfect, but at least it got this part right. The http.Client type uses a http.RoundTripper to do all of its networking. Separation of concerns.
Obviously I'm not Walter, but IMO, D's approach to GC does not create any tension. It's just a systems language with a GC that's there if you want to use it. You can disable it completely or only where you need to. Yes, you lose some features when you do so (like automanaged memory for dynamic array operations), but the tradeoffs are well-known and worth the loss when you need to make them. Consider WekaIO, which used D for their filesystem. No GC anywhere:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but investing $6600 for a $20/month return is going to take 25 years to break even. How is that worth it? (I'm totally naive about investing. This isn't a dig at you. Genuinely curious)
> Subsistence farming is no picnic.

The majority of traditional cultures practicing subsistence farming often work much less than 40h/w, still today.

During the middle ages it was common in many cultures to have less than 200 working days per year.
I have changed job numerous times in the last decade. It's the same shit everywhere. Poorly paid jobs writing fresh projects, or better paid senior roles trying to keep the crap projects started by a junior running a few years down the line.
Ok show me the stat that 50% of people that desire healthcare do not have access to it?

Even the most aggressive numbers on uninsured in the use put it about 15% to 20% of the population, no where near the 50% you are claiming in your comment

There was a time in my 20's where I did not have insurance, I still had (and got) care when I needed it. Sure it was expensive but I was never denied services.

Yes you can find stories of people that do not have access to care, and we should do what we can to eliminate those edge cases where there are clearly gaps in the system but paint these edge cases as the rule is just disingenuous at best
I usually just don't do foreign keys, makes the queries insanely fast :D
It doesn't look like you're that good at "reducing tension", as you describe it in your initial post. Maybe you should not be contributing to the kernel then?
“Sure I lost my entire sense of self, BUT productivity was really high”
But at the same time our minds are something sort of built on top of our monkey brains.

So-called "feral children" - people who didn't receive the appropriate attention in their early years to develop, among other things, language, are frighteningly less intelligent than their peers.

We're animals, but we're also something more, held up only through an unbroken chain of socialization.
> can run in background,

Syncthing runs fine in the background.

> can be launched on startup,

You can launch an app on startup regardless of what GUI toolkit it's using, or whether it's using one at all. Are you saying that you can only run a program at startup if it's using Electron?

> can have toolbar icon,

I think there's a misunderstanding here. I was talking about using the browser for the GUI of your app via an embedded HTTP-server, like Syncthing does; not replacing your entire program with a HTML-document with some JavaScript, which would clearly have some limitations.

> you as a dev have zero control over the browser used,

Well, that's also not true. You can check that the browser uses a certain user agent string, or you can add a specific version of a specific browser as a package dependency.
Ha! Finally my day job.

If you're using off the shelf plastics as your reaction vessel (which most of these do), then you're immediately stuck with these large thermal mass systems.

A few reasons why many of these machines stay away from microfluidics:

PCR reactions are notoriously susceptible to cross-contamination, so microfluidics wells would either need to be thoroughly cleaned (a pain), or just single use (this is what we do with most plastics... - which would be expensive).

How do you get your stuff into the well! Current scale plastics had amendable to human operators (infinitely flexible, minimal capital cost, easy to replace). The equipment you need (basically a good pipette and tips) is relatively cheap and well understood. To do this at the microfluidics scale would be much more expensive (and see the same cleaning concern from above).

What are you doing with your PCR result? Assuming that you're just going with florescent probes, having the giant macro-scale lump of liquid gives you both a physically very large target, and a relatively brighter target to look for. This can certainly be overcome, but is more engineering work.

If you were using PCR as an upstream process (dunno how common this is now anymore), then you need to generate enough volume to be useful in your downstream process... and if your downstream process is human scale, then you're PCR reaction needs to be as well.

Oh, and finally the actual PCR bio-chemical reactions take a finite amount of time to work, so you can't really temperature cycle by the kilohertz. Probably the fastest you can take it is... dunno, 10 seconds per cycle? The literature is a little weird here.
Amazon is hiring at that rate because it can afford to. It is actually lobbying to raise a national minimum wage because it means its competitors will close faster. And working for Uber is voluntary like being a migrant worker is voluntary for Mexicans.

Evolution of diversity and dominance of companies in online activity
The Last Spin by Evan Hunter (1926-2005)
I'm actually here because my colleagues keep coming up with things posted here and on other sources and I was intrigued as to the consensus behind them. I'm pleasantly surprised to read that there is a nice critical balance of discussion.

The worry for me is that there is almost always an obvious detachment from the steps carried out to the benefit which is the precise definition of a cargo cult. A lot of people can't seem to see this at all and when asked for some sort of rational proof, something I do regularly, tend to switch to a personal or ideological attack instead.

It's slightly tiring to be fighting the front of rationalism in an industry which appears to be driven partially by fashion.

As for pair programming, 100% anecdotally I find that sometimes you need a second set of eyes on a problem when you can't see the forest for the trees. But mostly it's inefficient and unproductive and absolutely crippling for small teams.
No, it's just that your entire argument is built as if there are no governments, or if there are then ideally they should piss off and let everyone do whatever they want. You are completely allowed to have such an opinion, and I'm completely allowed to think it's an unreasonable and unrealistic opinion to have. What I mean but "individualism nonsense" is that your right to conduct business as an individual does not surpass the right of the society to not be negatively impacted by your decisions. This is not a statement that's seriously debatable outside of some nieche libertarian circles.

>>why do you even expect me to have a civilized discussion with someone who says that they feel empowered to block my voluntary transactions with other people because you don't like how you are left out of it?

I don't know why you're making this some sort of weird me Vs you argument(you take what I say way too personally), governments the world over already regulate what kind of business two willing parties X and Y are allowed to have. This is a discussion to establish where the line is. But of course feel free to tell me to mind my own business.
This would require a fairly lengthy discussion and a level of frankness required in terms of discussing the realities of software profession that imho will not be well received in this forum. I didn't say her thoughts were incorrect. Simply this: it reflects the appraisals and realities of an earlier time in this profession.
>>You have to take into account a few other risk factors (obesity etc) i

I disagree, we have a free society, and one of my concerns about a government run health care system is that it would allow encroachments upon that freedom. I do not need or want a parent via the government. I neither need nor want the government passing laws to control what food I eat, how much food I eat, or what health choices I make

The questions comes down at that point to if you desire a collectivist authoritarian government, one that "the greater good" (which is subjectively defined) always over rules the individuals rights, or do you want individualism and individual rights to reign supreme over the collective

I support individualism

I've seen systems where data is sent via UDP and the physical connection was transmit-only (for example, only the transmit fiber plugged in to the port) to avoid potential firewall exploitation.
This only is possible with people owning their homes and the land they're built on. With asset prices outgrowing wages and thereby pricing out generations out of the same arrangement for most of their working life and also beyond for lifetime renters, this will be possible for fewer and fewer families.

Yes but await doesn't, which is what I replaced run_until_complete() with here.

The asyncio.run() is just to pretend I run the lib snippet in a code that already started the loop, which the doc seems to do.

In communist states it was a standard as recently as in the early 70s.
Desk Chair
I picked up Furmax Ergonomic Office Desk Leather Gaming Chair, under $200 at the time, because of its strong showing on amazon and it was the budget pick on DESK PLANNER, though it's since been superseded.

Best part, I still have that Commodore VIC-1213 "Machine Language Monitor" [1] along with my beloved VIC-20. I also had (and still have) a character-editor [2] and with that setup I wanted to write a computer game.

Problem was, I didn't know how to write a game, so with the Machine Language Monitor I disassembled Jeff Minter's Gridrunner [3] and learned really wonderful tricks.

I remember, in Gridrunner there was a main loop with 20 JSRs or so and each JSR handled a piece of the game, querying the joystick, updating the spaceship, producing the sound, etc... (kinda cooperative multitasking)

It was a wonderful journey to learn all this stuff from that game and then write my own one...

Jeff, if you ever read this, thank you for that wonderful Gridrunner, not only was playing it a lot of fun, I learned a lot from you!

I find the same thing is true of most media. Of course, give things a chance, but if you're consuming media for pleasure, have already dedicated hours to something in particular, and aren't enjoying it at all, then there's no shame in putting it down.

There are more books, films, programmes, and games out there than you can ever consume in one lifetime; there's no point forcing yourself to keep going with something you're not enjoying. Moving on to something else doesn't mean that it's bad, or even that you might not come back to it and see it differently in the future.
Thanks for the review. The privacy policy lists all collected information, how (if any) they're shared with other parties, also right for the users to delete the information any time. What else should be listed here? I didn't get the "legal basis for collecting each information" -- is it required? This is just basic information that software needs to operate.

I am curious of two things:

1. How come Django is not legacy but Rails is?

2. How come Rails in itself it legacy for SSR?

I am curious and I think it worth explaining as it might be that people read the comments here and do not understand what criteria did you considered when deciding which is which.
>>By the way, the position on the waiting list is often adjusted according to the urgency of one's situation

This is only technically true, and ignores the fact that many medical procedures that are done when something is not critical means making a full and complete recovery with no life long effects but delaying the treatment while sitting on a wait list until the issue becomes "critical" means the problem may only be able to be partially rectified and the person may suffer from life long effects due to the delay in treatment

At the end of the day government run health systems control costs by limiting the supply and ignoring the demand. This creates an untenable system that can never be "fair" to anyone.

I've found that the more and the faster I read in general, the better I get at processing said information faster.

You can try improving your reading speed in fiction books as it's easier and less mentally straining and see if that helps you with non-fiction processing too.

Immersion reading (reading and listening at the same thing at the same time) has been great for me to improve both the speed at which I'm reading but also my processing and language skills (non native English speaker). Kindle and audible support this out of the box, but you can also do it by listening audiobooks and just using a pdf reader.
