Absolutely, people talk about mindset, and this is it. You should be prepared to walk away from a bad deal: going back into the office.

However, don't reveal things like "youre willing to compromise on salary to work from home". I've made a lot of concessions when I really want something, and thinking back, I didn't need to in many cases. In fact, ask for a raise in the same conversation. Be mentally prepared to ask for more, because you have done a lot more this year working from home than you have working in the office.
"Quality adjustments are based on costs provided by manufacturers in categories such as reliability, durability, safety, fuel economy, maneuverability, speed, acceleration/deceleration, carrying capacity, and comfort or convenience. Adjustments are also made when equipment is added or deleted from the tracked model. Adjustments are not made for changes in gasoline content due to mandated air quality requirements. Additional information is available in the Guidelines for Quality Adjustment of New Vehicles Prices document." (https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/new-vehicles.htm)

The Guidelines for Quality Adjustment of New Vehicle Prices are at https://www.bls.gov/cpi/quality-adjustment/new-vehicles.pdf.

New Vehicle CPI has increased 22% since 1990 (https://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet).

Slow Growth Lessons in a Hack-Assed World (2015)
It's easy to think of artillery and rockets as something that can be lobbed at an enemy from a safe position, but that is generally not true. The range of most rockets and artillery is not as far as you might think. I estimate they are probably coming from less than 10km away. If you have drones in the air, it's very possible to find out where they are coming from and blow them up with counterbattery fire.
I transitioned to remote a few years ago when I moved. It helped that my employer really liked me, and considered me indispensable.

In my case, I started the conversation very early, almost a year in advance. "I just married someone who might make me move." Even though we didn't dwell on the discussion, the fact that I brought it up regularly made sure that it wasn't a surprise when I announced that, "I am moving and will need to work remotely."

If you've already discussed how much you like working remotely with your manager, then it shouldn't come as a surprise that you're asking to remain remote.

In your case, maybe consider stating that you will be in the office day a week? Then, when "life happens," just don't show up for 2-3 weeks and see what happens.

When I moved, my employer set up an office for me with a group that I was physically close to. I showed up once a week, then due to a bad winter, I just didn't go in for 6 weeks. No one noticed. (Heck, no one noticed when I was there.) Then, the office situation changed and I asked to be remote full time.

If you get a firm "no," then everything depends on how much leverage you have. If there is some major project due in the near future, point out that the job market is very healthy for remote employees and imply that you might quit without finishing your project. See if you can get some kind of severance package or retention bonus if you stay through the project as a remote employee. Otherwise, just quit when you have a new job.
I think both Nim and Crystal will make fine languages to learn. Both languages have reached the all-important version 1.0 milestone and are therefore at relatively stable releases. The communities are quite small as are the resources for learning the languages (which not may be a concern).

Zig probably has a few years left before it reaches version 1, which may not matter to you. But it probably means features are likely to change and missing features still require implemention.

Not on your list, but also worth considering: Julia. The language has been growing steadily and there are a growing number of learning resources (more than for Nim and Crystal).
Reducing service can also be a strong-armed way to force customers to advocate for them.

The conversations I had with multiple recruiters who were having trouble placing candidates with clients because they were getting hired elsewhere faster than they could even finish interviewing them. I didn't envy their position.

This of course isn't universal. If you apply to the flashy postings on WeWorkRemotely where companies have high profile CEOs making dozens of blog posts about revolutionizing their industry, those positions are getting hundreds of applications, and they can take their pick.

But if you find a posting on a job site posted by a recruiter, and apply, you will get phone calls from several other recruiters at that agency, struggling quite hard to find candidates for small and medium size companies having trouble placing people. And they are having a lot of trouble placing people right now. Get yourself into recruiter databases, set yourself as open to work on LinkedIn, and the requests just pour in.

Then why does GDP-deflator calculated inflation give essentially the same numbers as CPI inflation (and therefore different numbers than these folks)?

"A" is short for "Area", which is something we inherited from Mozilla, IIRC.

I don't think there's a good way to filter on "active", it's mostly like, if you go to the issue and it's open, then it's 'active.' It's a bit odd, because in some sense, for the RFC repo, once the RFC is merged it's "done", and then rest of it is implementation and therefore tracked on the main Rust repo. The "C-tracking-issue" issues are ones that are open and tracking an RFC that's in implementation, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Ao...

("C" is short for "Category". These prefixes are... well the original ones made sense but I think there was some retconning going on at some point, haha)

Authenticating the remote end of the connection (which all decent software does because using it on other people's WiFi would be very unsafe otherwise) makes it irrelevant.
There's already PlatformIO for that. VSCode is not really open and has nasty tracking included. The source is available under MIT however if you strip the tracking out and build that code like VSCodium does you may no longer use the add-on repositories of VSCode and have to use open-vsx.org. And the standard extensions made by Microsoft like the C/C++ extension may not be published by open-vsx.org. Since PlatformIO integration with VSCode/VSCodium is dependent on this extension you can not run it without submitting to tracking. That sucks.

Add to that list: being laid off and having to move for a new job.
My point was to inject some nuance so we could discuss the tradeoffs, rather than your one-sided comment that is a conversation ender. At no point did I attempt to balance the scales to reduce the situation to a good/bad emotional response. It appears that is your objective, which isn't a very interesting way to spend time. Have a nice day.

IMO employers have an irrational fear that people that work from home don't work at all and say its "the office culture" and being a team.
If their opinion is already set on this, try negotiating half the week at the office and the other half from home. So both of you get the best of both worlds.
That's some grade A victim blaming right there. As if it's the workers fault for not 'maintaining work life balance properly'.

I'm on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. I haven't used email outside of work for many years now, and don't miss it one bit. And even at work most communication now happens on Slack. The digital world has evolved since 1997, and email simply hasn't kept up.

I skimmed a couple articles on the blog and my biggest problem with it is that the author is making a social rather than technological argument (which are all anyways nonsensical).

"Liked a movie? Don't call or IM your friend about it, email them a long form review instead."

"Leave all your group texts and instead send your friends a weekly email summary of your life."

Higher prices due to demand outpacing supply is one of the three types of inflation. The other two being based on cost of production increasing and build-in (everyone expects it, so it becomes true).

Yes, if prices relax, then we will see the deflation reflected in the numbers.

A shift of both demand and supply, resulting in increased prices, is one way inflation can happen.

What is important in CPI inflation are the prices consumers pay.

Cars, like homes, live in a debt market. I can't speak for the US but here in the UK more than 90% of new, private car registrations are supported by purchases made on finance[0].

Yes, which is precisely why I eschew cups and spoons for grams. There are standard conversions for most common ingredients, I’ll tend to use those for ingredients with the potential for high variation in density, like plain flour.

Obviously, the main concern is with repeatability in baking. But for me the biggest benefit is being able to pour all ingredients directly into your bowl (sitting on scales) without dirtying up a pile of measuring cups and spoons.
Looks like inflation is pretty average for historical March, a success considering what our economy could have looked like.

I think it's hilarious that so many huge companies can't figure out how to run a simple, static web page that can be updated independently of the rest of their infrastructure. It's something that a kid with a Raspberry Pi and an intro to Python book could do in an hour.

Yet here we see example after example of status web pages that break when the status they're supposed to report is anything other than good.

I think there's reasonable argument to be made that smartphones are important enough that they should not ve like consoles, and should be forced to be more open. I guess a similar argument to that used to justify regulating utlities.

GDPR only applies to the EU anyway. They can't enforce GDPR in the US. Facebook can always just close their offices in Germany but still serve their website worldwide, and unless Germany wants to implement a firewall to the likes of China, it will be accessible to German residents.

The US needs to implement an equivalent privacy law.
The iOS ~50% smartphone market share is dramatically different to the 90%+ market share Windows had.

Layman definitions of monopoly do not matter when it comes to antitrust laws[1]:

> Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power.

Also, iOS has 60% of the mobile operating systems market in the US[2]. Apple's App Store is responsible for 100% more revenue than the Play Store[3].

Apple and Google are certainly leveraging their duopolies in both the mobile operating systems market and the mobile app distribution market in order to prevent competition in those markets and others.

This seems so sad to me.
Yes yes, there's auto-ref, auto-deref, deref coercion, unsize coercion, ... All of them are forms of "`lhs.rhs` tries to look up a different type to apply the `rhs` to vs what type `lhs` actually has," or more generally "I wrote an expr of type T but the compiler treats it as an expr of type U for :reasons:"

I called it "auto-dereferencing" because that's what OP used when talking about `[].into_iter()`, and then clarified that it's actually an unsize coercion, not auto-deref.

I'm not one for using emails for everything. Sometimes the UI / UX just doesn't go great with things like synced up messaging and besides, email leaks metadata all over.

Having said that, for extremely casual messages where I'm not worried about metadata (talking to my parents, a relationship that is already apparent), I would not mind chatting over something like DeltaChat (which is on-and-off working on trying to do XMPP Conversations-style multiple account sign on in one single app) over the alternative of a group text or FB Messenger message. Metadata exists either way, might as well be on an email system I will retain long-term-access to it. The likes of Signal force you to either manually screenshot messages or copy/paste them message by message, there is no bulk unencrypted backup for mundane things like serendipitous conversations about dinner plans for funny family stories. But since DeltaChat is still somewhat locked in to a single account (preventing me from using say work and personal), I'm doing the no-change-choice and continuing to tolerate Signal.
This is the numbers for March. What's the point of posting a month old news? Especially as new numbers are posted tomorrow.
> "And you can manage that okay. You can manage on a per country basis. You feel good about that?

> "Sure. I mean, for us, that’s easy. And then we can provide that to our customers as a function of what we’re doing. But I think that if you could say, German rules don’t extend beyond Germany and French rules don’t extend beyond France and Chinese rules don’t extend beyond China and that you have some human rights floor that’s in there."

I'd be curious about that human rights floor. It's one thing to follow laws in a western democratic country with elections and rule of law, but it's another to do so in countries without elected governments or rule of law. It sounds like they're thinking about this since he explicitly mentioned the human rights floor, so that's good at least.

In a sense, government is like medical care, the first question is "how do we make this right", then you see if you can afford it, or what tradeoffs you have to make. So having it is second to actually looking at the problems.

Why do we single out Government for this treatment? We don't generally say "Look at that homeowner, with that mortgage, the just can't help spending more than they have." We certainly don't say that about startups raising funds, either...
That's not how it works at all. Suppose those two options were equally likely to happen. Would they be then equally likely to actually accomplish this goal?

In my mind, one option basically goes like this: get so many people outraged that they demand the goverment to do something. What happens next is lawmakers introduce some half-arsed legislation (like the self-defeating GDPR banners), companies budget for enforcement and keep violating user privacy.

The other goes like this: get so many people invested that they incentivize more and more businesses to accept crypto that has privacy baked into the actual transaction mechanism. And then what happens next is uncertain but I'm willing to bet on the tech and not on the bureaucrats.
The inflation has been tampered with quite a bit over the years. It's how you explain how the avg American is much poorer than his parents. I.e. in real terms, as in being able to buy: quality food, quality car, quality house (what? renting? no, not the same)

Where I live in the exurbs, rents are climbing and inventory is extremely low. But I wonder if that's going to change once the eviction moratoriums expire. People who can't pay a year's worth of deferred rent are going to have to move in with someone else as having a recent eviction makes it nearly impossible to rent again. That's going to mean less demand for a growing supply of rentals.
