Give me a private office with a door that closes and pay me enough to live a 5 minute walk from the office without compromises to other aspects of my lifestyle, and I might consider coming back to the office. Until then, I'll see you on Zoom.

Anecdotally, the dichotomy I'm observing at my company is young/single/apartment-dweller people want to get back to the office because they don't have enough space at home to make it a nice experience. Many I know in this category are also eager to get back to screwing around at the water cooler. Meanwhile, the older, family-oriented people who own or rent a home in the suburbs want to WFH forever because that social dynamic isn't worth the hassle of the trek in for them.
Which phenomenon, in particular?

Use IntelliJ, it's trivial to do that with `Cmd+B` (on Mac).
Sextants used at sea find altitude angles by measuring between the stars(or other astronomical objects) and the horizon. There is a correction that can be applied to account for wave height as it affects the "eye height." Azimuth can be found by measuring against stars that are low in the sky, but most of the time you do not need this for sea navigation. "Down" is inferred as the shortest path between a star and the horizon. It takes a bit of practice to get a good measurement from a rolling boat, but it is skill anyone can learn.

I have, and it's much better than a mouse, especially since I've got used to working the trackpad with my thumb.

But I still prefer keyboard shortcuts, they juste feel more natural while the hands are already in "typing mode". I feel like there's a question of "waiting around". Even though I've always found the mac trackpad to be very precise, even for quick movements, you still have to aim for an icon, move the cursor to it, click, etc.

Now in the particular case of a macbook, where the windows will probably be maximized or not move around a lot, you may get some kind of muscle memory. But you still have to look around for the icon, etc. Whereas a shortcut is always the same, you press the keys and you're done, it doesn't matter where your cursor and / or window happen to be. I also prefer hidden icon toolbars, this allows me to gain some vertical space.

But, as another commenter said, some actions are easier with the mouse and wouldn't throw mine away. In my case, that's web browsing.

This makes a lot of sense and I wish it were easier to do elsewhere. Probably wouldn't leave the vs code ecosystem for this alone, though.
Calling v3 "similar in spirit" seems like a stretch. I suppose that's literally true, but what they changed was significant enough that it drove a lot of projects away.
That's not always true - traditional marketing included things like direct mail, direct calling, door to door sales, etc.

Also, unless you manage your own lead database, targeting to the individual level doesn't really happen in modern marketing systems. You build cohorts like "everyone who downloaded this app and put food as an interest". While it's certainly possible to de-anonymize people occasionally with the advertising data you work with, a) ad platforms never want to give it to you and b) there's an unbelievable amount of noise in the system so you just build programs with the assumption that ~50% of the data is going to be flat out wrong.
Still, they could use something derived from the 3270’s more elegant font…

I only have superficial social needs for the most part, anything more is somewhat exhausting, I think the work place interactions fit that quite well.

Any deep social needs are satisfied by my long time close friends who I see every few months or my partner if I'm dating.

I don't think you can make that call what someone should and shouldn't do to satisfy their social needs because everyone has very widely ranging needs in the first place.

I feel perfectly topped off just by being in the room at a coffee shop with people for a few hours for instance.

Well. Not.

PE usually is about discipline. I.e. cash based discipline.
So PE change the debt/equity ratio from 30/70 to 70/30, thus enforcing the company to be much more cash efficient. I.e. take LESS risks.

Effectively we all got a raise by being sent home. I know some companies have exploded during the quarantine, but not everyone has been so lucky.

For myself it's the last big raise I've gotten in some time, and I expect I'm far from the only person for whom that's true. Going back to work for these people is going to reduce their effective salary back to what it was 15 months ago.

Possibly misreading you, but updates behave differently in LTSC. It stays at the same level (1809 in LTSC) until the next major release and just auto-installs (very quickly, in between reboots and without forced prompts) security updates every couple of weeks or so.

I take slight issue with the joke around "postmodern". Modernism and postmodernism are actual things. Modern means a new way to do something without much influence from the older ways. Postmodern means looking at multiple ways something has been done over time then extracting and combining a sets of the good ways from any time and tradition into a new, workable whole.

Saying something is postmodern because it came out after something modern cheapens the word.

What I really want from another Vim replacement is why it's better than neovim, not jokes about usurping Vim at the expense of the English language. I think that's presumptuous at best and I don't find it very funny to claim to be better because it's newer.

You will sometimes, but traffic that still overflows to the other chiplet is probably almost all traffic that would have gone to RAM before.

And as a reference point, cross-chiplet L3 is about 50 nanoseconds slower than local L3. That will dwarf most things.

That would make it much harder for me.

I run a theater troupe. We do a little bit of Facebook boosting. Our customers are spread thin: there are people who want to see Shakespeare, but they don't cluster in one place.

We do use geography in our buying; nobody is going to travel 100 miles to see us. But if I showed it to 1,000 random people even in a 20 mile radius, the odds are that 999 will be completely disinterested, and the 1 remaining person will be doing something else that weekend.

On the other hand if I show it to 1,000 people who have shown at least a little interest in theater, or Shakespeare, or literature -- and who have the money to spend $20 on a theater ticket[1] -- maybe I'll find a few people who would actually come.

I wouldn't show my ads on a bus stop. It would cost a fortune and probably do no good. I spend $30 or so, and I get a few extra bodies out, because my ads are targeted.

This is just an example I happen to be familiar with. Perhaps it's a little too abstruse to be applicable. But it's what I think of whenever I hear people railing about all ads. There are a lot of things for which blanket advertising just wouldn't work.

I'm not even trying to turn a profit or pay salaries. I just want to do some good art that people might enjoy. It's worth getting the word out for it, and not pester every single person on the planet about it.

> and using Quebec as a test ground for it

Who are you implying is using Québec as a test ground? The reality is simple: Québec implemented something of its own volition. Nothing nefarious here.
Which also comes with all the hubbub which was already mentioned before. Freedom of choice comes with the burden of payment.

Here's an idea: instead of expecting the employer to provide more than a basic level of ergonomics and potentially having to go through all the bureaucratic and mental hoops, both on receiving and on returning, we just.. pay the employees more money so they can decide for themselves.

Why you're putting this in the frame of "employer is not your friend" is beyond me, no one was framing it that way to begin with. If anything, it is because we can't expect employers to deliver beyond a basic level and introducing all these rules to make it harder, that it makes more sense to bite the bullet up front and be in control.

They could catch you retroactively when you report the rental income. Of course you could simply not report the income and hope you don't get audited but at that point you're now also guilty of tax fraud with the intent to conceal your wire fraud, and tax fraud is the type of thing the IRS can sniff out even years after the fact. There will be no plausible deniability possible since the unreported income will correspond to the defrauded payments, it'll be an open and shut case.

Well, quaternions form a vector space over quaternion addition. This part is not very interesting. Vector spaces do not describe multiplication of vectors by each other. So, quaternions are not (only) vectors "in the mathematical sense" when it comes to their more interesting properties.

Agreed! I have a keyboard full of OS-level macros and I've rebound the extra buttons on my mouse to ctrl+c, ctrl+v, and enter. If I'm leaning back and browsing through docs, I want to be able to move text around and execute commands without reaching for the keyboard.
I bought my mom an Echo for Christmas last year for the kitchen, since she likes making lists and setting timers for baking and her hands are starting to show their age (she’s 63, ‘bout that time I guess).

Very good points. I didn't want to ignore his lust for attention and inappropriate things, that's the collateral damage. I strongly believe that the value he has created far offsets the negative social media attention whoring. It is not even close. He has changed space industry and car industry forever. Complaining about his social media extravaganza is so profoundly unbalanced and misplaced. History is going to remember his achievements, not social media presence.

I can still lament on his public discourge whether he actively desires it or not - it is still despicable and toxic, for both sides. Look at it this way - cut up Elon's personality into various eccentric pieces. Engineering, leadership, inspiring people and rallying support - should be looked up to and not "cancelled" just because you want to criticize him for crypto meming, social media presence and his erratic behavior on Twitter. Both can take place with calm, civil discourse.

Not only does it show deep lack of judgement of people - it has chilling effects for societal conformation. This is a surefire way to go towards a dystopian society where cancel culture prevails and social media driven activism takes over like a steam roller crushing people for their minor misconducts.

Except Sedan, none of these battles were as decisive, or at least not in tye same sense, as the battles won and lost by Napoleon. The Pacific war just really started after Midway, After Bangration the Nazis didn't surrender. The Low Lands and Denmark fell early in the war. And as you said, despite being turning points, these battles were part of modern industrial wars. They didn't end the war, nor did they force parties to the negotiation table. Aiming for that, as part of a strategy, against a peer adversary stopped working in the mid 19th century. One could even argue that the British defeated Napoleon by forcing him into a decisive battle, Waterloo, they could afford to loose but he couldn't. It does work so against adversaries that cannot hope to win, or afford to loose. E.g. Denmark. If Denmark would have been the only country to be conquered that is.

AWS ECS Anywhere goes live. Is it worth the Amazon fee?
Having messed with some WASM code, I would say that the byte code is NOT easy to write an interpreter for due to the (IMO insane) way blocks work. Blocks are nested but the start/end tags need to be matched up in order to determine where control flow goes - unlike jump instructions, the block tags don’t come with offsets built in. This means a fully-fledged interpreter needs to maintain a stack of blocks and (for efficiency) pre-scan each function to identify the block boundaries. That’s going to hurt performance a lot and take up valuable memory on a microcontroller.

A modified WASM with explicit jumps and less “magic” behavior would be great. Perhaps a transpiler could generate such a “interpreter-friendly” pseudo-WASM to be loaded on the microcontroller.

(FWIW, even though WASM supports static data blocks, it also has provisions for dynamic allocation, and most WASM programs over-allocate their static blocks to make room for a C stack. So, in practice, making WASM work for microcontrollers and static data would also mean new languages or compilers that are much more conservative with memory use.)
