I’m dreading my commute to Seattle once offices reopen. Over the last year and a half there have been a crazy number of new homes and apartments built all along the two-lane highway that comprises most of my route.

Everything is workable now because people are still at home but as soon as the offices reopen it will be atrocious. This is especially true once the weather turns shitty - snow can easily make a 1.5 hour commute take 3.5 hours even excluding the new homes.
>> expectation of immediate response to superiors

It depends on whether you are working primarily via email/text or live talk/chat/webcam. When my boss calls me on the phone during the day he expects me to answer.
But your suggestion still involves a hard dependency on a centralised authority. Someone needs to issue the paper form, issue the stamp, make sure every agency knows what is "genuine", issue a "number" to be written on the paper, create a centralised system where that number and your ID is linked and stored so the border people can check the validity of the number, you need to procure all of these physical goods and send them to the locations. AND they have to somehow then make sure that any other country can take that paper and somehow validate that it's actually genuine as well, maybe call a phone number on the paper and ask?

I honestly don't understand how any of this is simpler, less centralised and a benefit to the end user.

If you have a web browser, a printer and know how to copy paste you can issue a pass. The system returns a pdf you can print and hand to the person. No mobile phone, data service or email involved. This can happen at the same place where you get your vaccination.

For the end user and the intermediary at the issuance place it's exactly the same, you get vaccinated, someone enters it into a form, you get a paper to take with you. With the benefit that if I wanted I could get it on my phone and someone in Spain or Sweden or wherever would be able to validate it in a second.
That stuff is all optional and off-by-default, though; you have to either say yes on installation or opt in afterwards.

Happy to answer questions about the participants.

It is still true that the very best of India is suctioned into the United States- though there is definitely some backflow as they gather enough capital to go back and invest in Indian based companies.

The gravity of magnitudes better compensation insures that the very best will migrate.

FAANG level engineers are completely insulated from overseas competition due to this, but of course the lower echelons will have to worry about this if the current demand spike falls off.
I don't mind the changes. I had to look a bit for the new location of the screenshot tool. It's now a button you can add to the toolbar. Otherwise, the changes are mostly pretty subtle and they make sense to me.

They have UI people and designers. So they are going to be doing UI and design things. IMHO they are better off with these people than without. Browsers are very competitive. So, keeping the UI fresh and up to date is important.

Also, they can't keep everyone happy by changing nothing, which would make yet other people unhappy. So, kind of a damned if you do and damned if you don't. I feel the changes are mostly reasonable and not disruptive so I see very little reason to get upset over these changes.
> What's the difference if it's empty?

If it is empty then someone who is willing to pay can rent it.
I use noscript too. I try to avoid such websites as much as possible, because they obviously don't want me browsing their website. We need to apply pressure on webmins so they make sure the experience stays good with JS disabled.
The Ant design docs (from the same group) had the same problem, but over time improved

Here's an abstract view regarding the inevitability of gimbal lock: The state of a single gimbal is described by an angle. Since angles are mod 360°, that is topologically a circle. The state of three gimbals are then given by three angles. One point on each of three circles is a point on a three-dimensional torus T^3. With no gimbal lock, you get a map from T^3 to SO(3), which is locally a diffeomorphism at every point. For topological reasons, no such map exists: Due to compactness, it would be a cover, but the only covers of SO(3) are SO(3) itself (a single cover) and the three-sphere (unit quaternions, a double cover). And T^3 is distinct from either of these two. Hence gimbal lock is unavoidable with three gimbals. (Four gimbals is a different story, but then you have a redundant dimension to play with.)
> not even Fortran and Cobol are really dead, and Perl is way more popular still

That probably depends on your bubble, but I've interacted with more code in Fortran and Cobol than in Perl. And Fortran and Cobol were "almost dead" long before I started my first job.

I've been using these scripts on my boxes for years now with no issues. Maybe don't make assumptions about people's use cases?
Will keep that in mind.

It's very hard to present tables on Medium. If someone knows a better technique I would be happy to learn about it.
I assume providers do this to prevent fraudulent signups - people signing up email addresses they don’t own and racking up your bill.

I wonder if there’s a legal reason too.

It really is the mission of every parent to ruin everything for everyone else (including their own kids).
I call the day after Valentine's Day "Cheap Chocolates Day." I hauled at least 14 kg of chocolate this year, in addition to already having on hand: bulk chocolate-covered raisins, bulk chocolate-covered cashews, chocolate&almond-covered ice cream bars, powdered cocoa for hot cocoa, Nutella, 5 different flavours of Clif bars that include chocolate, chocolate ice cream, chocolate gelato, and wine and port to go with the chocolate.

Applications for testers now accepted. :)
I agree that this is pretty sketchy, but the US government has harassed Facebook time and memoriam. It doesn't come as any surprise to me that they're able to to use their leverage here to get user data the same way they get it from Google, Apple, and every other Top 500 company that incorporates in the United States.
Ideally (and, outside of the US, by law) the employer should set up a rotation schedule for being on-call. 24/7 on-call is toxic as hell, it only works for young singles that don't have any other responsibility than making rent.
it's actually more group representation theory you'll need: the rotation group has an infinite number of representations acting on different vectors spaces, rotation of an electron in 3d is SU(2) which maps to SO(3), the rotation of vectors.
What are the legal hurdles you had to jump to get this hack approved for street use? As car modders know all too well, this can often be the hardest task.
True, but are you 18?
The reality is nowhere near as cut-and-dried as urban vs rural. I moved 2 miles, from a denser area to a less dense (but still urban) neighborhood. Also the newer neighborhood has a much lower median household income. Still. Two orders of magnitude faster. Not exaggerating.
I don’t think we need to do anything of the sort. Companies will sort themselves into all remote/all office/hybrid before “lets make everyone moderately miserable equally” becomes the mandated approach for everyone.

Résumé/CV: http://metamn.io/

Email: bartus.csongor@gmail.com

I'm looking for a React senior designer / developer / tech lead role. I'm best at the front of the stack, including UI/UX design. I have works featured in online galleries.

When needed I can take on the full stack, from database design to writing APIs and delivering them to the front-end with AWS or headless CMS.

I also write technical documentation, manuals, articles.

I'm in for the long run. I would like to grow a product and shepherd it for the upcoming years.

I still don't like the polarization of this issue "either everyone has to allow full time WFH or I quit!".

I prefer working at the office given the choice, it allows me to see some of my co-workers and helps me with balance. I get distracted at home. Also things that happen organically at the office like lunch together and happy hours are nice to have.

At the same time, I have a VERY short commute compared to most, I can imagine I would feel differently if I lived 30 minutes+ away from the office.

My company has announced we will do "3 days minimum" in the office once things are "normal", this made a lot of people upset in our company with good reason. I think we should be more flexible, but I still appreciate the option.

Yup, the whole thing is aimed at people who have big, complicated Wordpress setups for their business-onepagers that never get updated, because whoever built it isn't around anymore and it's just too complicated to use.

I built it because that's what I wanted: I didn't want to think about how to build a website or how to host it. I wanted quick, visual feedback, the ability to share the feedback and the ability to do it all on mobile.

Hence, this product :)

You just made 3 assumptions:

- Asking for help means laziness. There is a high chance that this is the first job for juniors or interns. They need someone to tell them how to find the answer. What is obvious for you is not for others.

- Everyone is working on something that can be Googled. Which is not the case. Even for tech, there will be some specific tasks that are related to the project, domain, company that can not be Googled.

- Documentation? really? If you're fortunate to work in a company that has proper documentation for every single task and are always up to date then not many people share this experience.
There have been some efforts to rationalize this at the federal level but AFAIK they haven't gone anywhere. And some states seem to basically have zero thresholds for this and enforcement for business travel seems to be ratcheting up. Some people are probably going to find that they need to file more state tax returns.
NVMe-oF is already supported in Linux with target(host) and initiator(client). I've already configured and use this in my homelab with Mellanox network cards with RDMA.

Performance is awesome and I have not had any problems. It is a bit messy to configure on the target. But is very easy to configure on the initiator. There is also a free NVMe-oF client driver for Windows, https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-nvme-of-initiator but I have not tested it yet.

I use NVMe-oF both for block devices(ZFS volumes from traditional hard drives) and Intel Optane. It also works with SATA/SAS SSD's. It is not as fast as native, you get some additional latency but still much much better than the alternatives.

What is really cool is that Optane is so fast that I can easily create 4+ partitions and share the Optane device to 4+ different systems.
Mortgage forbearance expiry dates will follow. While tenants might be able to move on after this debacle, I wonder how banks will handle unpaid back mortgage?

Will they simply move the due dates into the future?
Can't whatsapp pull off a big brain time and disallow forwarding ?
Then users must copy and paste messages, links and media. Hence every message is a source message.

There will be an increadible itch to fully control and trace the charging patterns and behaviours of both cars and individuals. I can refuel ICE car with petrol within 3 minutes paying cash and no loyalty card.
If it exists, it's likely buried in about:config, which is guarded by a warning telling you to go away. And eventually it will be removed because no one[1] used it, which proves that the designers were right.

It would be safe enough if the ones that are close are *guaranteed* to be exceedingly far apart and the lookup algorithm allowed specifying an area.

If correct horse battery is in England and correct house battery is in China and you have a well designed lookup it would know you're looking for something in England.

correct house battery is in China at x, y. Do you mean correct horse battery in England at z, w?

The real danger comes when the mistakes are a few miles apart.
Podcasting 2.0 – More Than Podcasts
Those people are really poor, they bet their lives on those $10000 that they don't even own. They are not "willing to spend", they are willing to lose their life for it, it's a huge difference.

They borrow it from the extended family, everyone chips in, it's like a risky investment that some day can pay off.

When the extended family funds are not enough, they borrow from the "organized crime", i.e. the narcos.

Sometimes they don't pay the whole sum before and now they own to the coyotes, which are also the narcos.

During the immigration process, they are getting abducted, executed (whole buses of immigrants were killed in Mexico), the rules change midway, usually they own more money at the end that were agreed at the start.

Definitively they are not the petit bourgeoisie.
E.g. the last update removed right click -> open image, which I used all the time to view images in full screen. Now there's only an option to open the image in a new tab, which requires additional clicks to achieve the same thing.
A bit harsh, but to me this is nothing but whining. The article talks about different ways of living and the trade offs associated with each. Then this commentary comes in with a harsh call them like they seem them framing where these ideas about life are not to be considered or discussed because they might interfere with the appearance of brave engagement or whatever it is that is being endorsed.

This is kind of like the trade offs with being social or being extremely focused with little time and energy allocated to socialization. Committing to spending the time and energy to be social might generate great value from weak connections but it might also generate or expose conflicts and reveal that hardly anyone in your community sees or values things the way you do. Neither way of living is whining, they are just different ways of living.

Comparing ways of living is always full of opportunities for conflict and misunderstanding, but being ready or even anxious to judge others negatively limits the ability to evaluate alternatives in a cool and realistic manner.
Oh, system theme made quite a difference. Uff.
Why and How I run 5 different applications on the same server
"Reader" modes mostly seemed to fill this gap in browsers when all you were dealing with was text. However, Google (AMP) and Facebook (Instant Articles) attempts to apply this model to all browser content were largely failures.

We can debate whether this was due to the fact that both companies get most of their revenue from ads (probably correct) or just that the protocols were made to appease publishers - and content owners more generally - as opposed to the people who actually read websites who vastly outnumber the former two groups.

On the plus side, it does bring a feeling of satisfaction that with things like Create React App, I can send a really small payload to my server (~60 LoC) and have a site come out on the other end.
