This is true, the thing is kids grow up and then that stage is gone. With my oldest and second I missed so much, not something I would want to repeat again with my current 18 month old. Kids settle down as they get older, and I'd much rather have a quick play distraction than the annoying conversations that you get sucked into around the water cooler. And I'd also rather get locked into WFH roles now and put up with the young kid noises now with the long-term payoff of less distractions.
How many of us are newscasters anyway? I've given up even instructing my wife to take the kids out unless it's a really important presentation, because so many of my co-workers are in the same boat.

It might make adoption harder but I'm glad they did because it looks like a really nice language.

So why do we think this is terrible for Belarus but don't care that Australia has the same rules?

So downvotes because you think Australia's rules don't count because they're nicer and speak english? I'd venture to guess the official reasons behind both bans 'public good'. By which we mean the state.
Not at all, everyone would keep taking their piece of the BSD pie and be done with it.

In fact,I deeply believe had Microsoft been more serious about POSIX support on Windows NT and Linux wouldn't even had a chance.

Fortunately for Linux, Windows NT/POSIX was only for fulfil a checkbox on government contracts.
The title "light-shrinking material" makes it sound like they are adding a layer of something that turns optical wavelengths into UV, but there's a mention of scattering and reconstruction that makes it sound like more might be involved.
They have these, they are called Subaru Outbacks. There is no shortage of them in the Northwest, SV, Boulder, Maine, etc.

Fits 5, not 8, but today's families are smaller than 1960.

It has been essentially the same car for 20 years. A 2020 Outback looks not that much different than a 2000 Outback.

Always surprised Toyota just doesn't copy it. But maybe the thinking is, a "Toyota Outback" would take away from Toyota SUV sales more than from Subaru.
There was a post about Geometric Algebra, a while back. Is that more in use these days?
At my company, we usually do the more in-person interview, but if we suspect you have potential and your performance is negatively impacted by the stress of the interview process, we propose a project interview to wrap up the decision.

Since it's more time consuming we don't offer it up front, most people don't like them, but it's a useful tool to have to size up a candidate.

The post-project debrief provides a lot of information on how you think and how you work, the end result is not expected to be perfect, or even complete, as long as the approach is reasonable and we can picture if the person-team fit is there.
> What does this even mean? In the US atleast, mortgages are a fixed set of payments. Usually, it is a total of 360 payments. You dont pay "for specific months" you pay a specific number of payments. Deferment means you still make all 360 payments, just at different times.

Which is entirely the point, and which is the luxury renters don't have. Say for example you have 1 year of mortgage left ($X), and the pandemic is also going to be over in 1 year. The schedule shift means you will need to pay $0 by a year from now (i.e. when the pandemic & associated reliefs are over). You will simply have to pay $X in 2 years—which you can obtain by evicting your tenant and getting your rental income the second year. By contrast, your tenant will have to pay the entire $X after the moratorium is over in 1 year (not in 2 years). That's terrible in comparison. They don't have the luxury of shifting everything an extra year like a landlord.

> Renters backpaying rent is questionable. Once a renter is behind 12 months it is unlikely they will ever catch up. The typical response is the fear of credit blemishes -- except even this fear is gone in places like NYC -- many renters are holding occupancy of the property until all past rent is forgiven, wiping out all past liabilities.

Well it's up to you as a landlord if you don't want to pursue your tenant for their debts. You could offer a schedule shift if you wanted to, or do whatever else you wanted, if you really wanted to get your money back. If another landlord doesn't want to pursue their tenant, it's up to them. Not up to us to get sad about it.
Here in the UK, BT does the same thing and nobody seems to complain. If you're a BT customer you can use your own data through somebody else's router. Maybe actually giving something in return is the answer for Amazon?
Well but why so they need socket.io if they are using Firebase?
The GPL has been regularly violated by huge multi-billion dollar corporations.

But the FSF has had a policy of favoring compliance and forgiveness over punishment, and they've aggressively avoided litigation-- instead preferring to negotiate for compliance with goodwill loss as the threat-- to the point of contributing to some splits in free software. E.g. this is a point of disagreement between SFC and FSF.

I love WFH because I don't have to put up with politics crap.

Also I realized how conscientious I am compared to other people and the message trail means I have peace of mind about stuff that's not my fault.

And I love that some people are forced to hold in their verbal diarrhea and have to think before writing messages.

Kenchi | San Francisco / Remote (North American Timezones) | https://kenchi.com/jobs

Brian, Michael, and Kevin here! We're 3 ex-Stripe engineers (and previously Facebook and YC). We started and helped scale Stripe's support team from just a few people in Gmail to their current size. Now we're bringing those lessons and tools to other startups. We have customers with hundreds of people each scaling their teams with Kenchi.

Kenchi is about human-in-the-loop automation, currently targeting support teams. We sit inside your browser to provide a privacy-first approach to team members automating aspects of their work in any environment they sit in. We need to be snappy, resilient to running in different JS environments, and smart about how we tie into different pages to extract information in a robust and resilient way.

We're looking for full-stack devs and design. We're 3 people now, so founder-types who want to wear many hats, are curious about the innards of different frameworks, and love working across many parts of the system will thrive.

Shoot us an email at jobs@kenchi.com to say hi! We'd love to hear about something you've worked on before of which you're most proud. Talk soon :)

WordPerfect 4.2 (specifically that version) is to my mind one of the best pieces of software ever created. And amazingly it was written in x86 assembly language.
I got the pop-up a week back or so. I uploaded a photo of my drivers license with everything redacted except my name and date of birth and clearly watermarked it with the purpose and current date.

It was accepted automatically within a few seconds. Can't really complain.

I assume it will become part of Russia sooner or later.
I've had some take home interview assignments that were paid at my freelancing rate. In my opinion that's win-win; the company has the right incentives and also saves engineering time since interviews are shorter while in the worst case the candidate made a little money on the side.
Minivans are tremendously practical and useful. And to be quite honest as someone that owns a minivan but doesn't use it as a daily driver, the impact to other drivers on the road is way down the list of considerations when purchasing.
>Clearly you didn't read all of my comment.

I did. I also read this post.

Saying you are empathetic while also uniformly dismissing those you claim to empathize with doesn't ring too clear. No evidence of empathy, lots of evidence of dismissal.

Just my 2c as someone looking at how the issue has been framed.
Yes, working from home can be very comfortable if you invest in comfort.

But for me, comfort isn't everything. I'd rather be a bit less comfortable if it means being able to feel part of something nice. I really like being among people, experiencing things together. For me, that feeling easily outweighs comfort.

Then again, my work is a 10m walk from my house, and I have quite a bit of influence on how our work environment is shaped - so that may be easy for me to say.
Exactly this, don't get squeezed.
The main problem with SUVs is that they're designed to look big, but aren't actually big cars. They sacrifice a huge amount of space to raised suspension, big wheels, and bulky looking exteriors.

Station wagons are still heavy cars, but designed to actually be roomy, not just take up space. We had a small station wagon when I was a kid (Skoda Favorit) and it could fit a whole bicycle in its trunk.

Other than the really big SUVs (Escalade size), I've yet to find an SUV that will take a bike in its trunk.

Huh, as far as I know station wagons are very common in Europe.

Do you know what I want? A mixture between a station wagon and a Pick up Truck. I love Pick up trucks but I don't find them well suited for transporting dogs.

Here is my first landing page. It is about a browser-based interactive notebook platform to analyze your data in one place without having to code.

Most people don't know how to code and it is challenging for them to analyze their data with no coding skills. They need a point-and-click user interface to analyze data intuitively. Here is the landing page to get more info: https://magicnote.co

The "whole world" in the GP comment is nowhere near accurate. That being said, for starters, Australia still has restrictions on residents leaving without requesting special permission and at least at one point had a ban on re-entry of certain citizens, and the UK previously had a ban on non-essential travel abroad.

Currently in place in Australia: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/COVID-19

How is this the same?
By all reasonable measures, he got 3% support in the recent elections. Around 5mln people voted, which gives 150,000 who voted for him. This is pretty much the current "elite", that is, people with a slightly higher than average life quality: local officials, school heads, upper management at state-owned organisations, security services, high-ranking officers... and their families.

That's not true. Cardano already works as a decentralized currency, and it also supports native third-party tokens and NFTs. Their smart contracts should go live in a few months. Cardano has one of the most detailed development roadmaps and their development has been maybe the most active of all blockchain projects. They have also released a lot of peer-reviewed research papers on blockchains, rather than relying on genius hackers. Cardano is based on a provably secure proof-of-stake protocol called Ouroboros. They also have Philip Wadler on their team developing their smart contract language.

https://docs.cardano.org/en/latest/explore-cardano/relevant-...

That said, I don't believe that there's an actual demand or need for smart contract platforms, or that it makes sense to build new currencies that are tied into these platforms.

Also, proof-of-stake is not very secure, and Cardano has admitted this by supporting Ergo, which is a new smart contract protocol based on proof-of-work. However, PoW needs a lot of hashing power to be secure, so Bitcoin with secondary smart contract layers such as Rootstock and RGB are actually the best option (if there's a need for them).
> Second, it had the effect of ruining the lives of ordinary Americans living abroad who, while by no means wealthy, were working middle class. People like myself had our bank accounts closed...

Yup. Many banks in the EU simply said: "Screw that, we're not complying. We just kick all the US citizens out and close their account and refuse to ever deal with any US citizen now". I've had several bankers at different banks tell me the same. Now none of them told me they were consider these accounts as belonging to tax evaders: it's just that the complexity of complying was crazy.

You see the same on some website: some sites in the US simply don't want to bother complying with EU laws, so they just give the fingers to anyone coming to the site from an IP address in the EU.

That's the thing: a state or supranational entity like the EU can come up with any law it wants, private companies in other states aren't forced to comply. They can just give the middle finger and say: "if that's how you want to play it, then your citizens are out".
this is not different for any other internet connected device on your network. although i doubt its about connectivity to the internet but about connectivity to some backend over the internet. I think it is quite common to assume these risks to be your own problem as is mitigating them. I mean i would probably like it if there is some responsibility for manufactures to make sure it does not happen but i doubt we are even close to something like that.

seems like a desperation move. It's been a long while since I read "The Dictator's Handbook", but I'm guessing Lukashenko won't be free/alive too much longer?
I'm hoping someone brings WASM to MCUs with a HAL interface like WASI does for OS platform functionality. As far as I can tell, the byte code is simple and easy to write an interpreter for, with a lot of practically useful features like static memory blocks declared ahead of time that make it conducive to MCUs. It should even be possible to write test harnesses with simulators for each architecture that gives a precise prediction for how many cycles a given block of WASM will take in an interpreter so that timing for interrupt handlers, tasks, etc can all be worked out in simulation without even touching the hardware.

If a given block of WASM isn't performant enough in the interpreter, then drop it to compiled code and expose it to the rest of the WASM - at least then only a small fraction of your code requires a painful firmware upgrade, the rest can be updated in a user defined section of ROM. It would be great to have a compiler/linker combo that could use annotations to configure which parts of the firmware should be compiled and which should be interpreted. With inlining or even just AST substitution (replace global vars with register access), it should provide all of the low level access necessary while still allowing for high level Arduiono style libraries

> I'm no Cardano shill...but

If you have to say you're not a shill, it's probably not working in your favor. You sound defensive. For what it's worth I don't think you're a shill but I think you're naive about cryptocurrency.

And if it's not worth $44 billion today then you're an idiot to buy at that price, because why not wait until the price is right? And if the price is just going to go up then clearly it is worth that today. This isn't even unique to crypto this is just investing 101. Why would you ever overpay for something if your goal is to make money?
> Seriously, if I could still use WordPerfect 4.2 today, I would. I would put up with 5.1 if necessary.

That's definitely just a certain personality type, I think. 8-10 drinks is pretty aggressive for a random Friday night among grown-ass adults - that's 2 full bottles of wine. At best, you won't be able to drive home and you'll feel beat up in the morning.

How long are they staying out? I'm in my thirties, and a drink every 45 minutes seems pretty standard among my peers that don't have kids and still go out. In college we'd swing for the fences, but eventually everyone (well, everyone without an actual drinking problem) figured out that keeping a nice social buzz is a more pleasant way to spend an evening with friends.
Learning programming almost feels like a curse. I guess I was naturally predisposed to something like programming as I always remember liking efficiency and making things more efficient.

However, after getting a CS degree and building things at work....I get upset a lot. I see so many things that are unoptimized and get angry when I have to wait because the process is bad.

I refuse to do things without proper tools, as I don't want to fiddle with something for hours while a proper tool can achieve a desired result in minutes.

Now, that I think about this it has been affecting me greatly.
Yup it is. I don't disagree with you- there's plenty of other projects with the same goals.
