Funny way to spell “Techno”.

OnT: The title says overstimulating but with guidelines like that it feels more like criticism of stimulation from a broad range of bad entertainment. Is digitally distributed classical music a no go now?

Orwell said it well: "By 'patriotism' I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force upon other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power."
"Classical music and no skipping"

LOL.

That's all I need to see from the author to know to ignore his advice. Logic dictates that if you're looking to suppress excess stimulation, then no music is better than background music. Likewise, if focusing is your goal, then a pair of simple noise cancelling headphones or maybe a nice nature sounds track would be better. Classical music, after all, was created at the whims of an elite ruling class. Big money and its influence on the art form didn't begin with modern music.

What sort of historical precedence?

Historical precedence from the Ming dynasty showed that even when they have a big fleet, they're not interested in colonizing territories. The Ming fleet only traded, not conquered. Look up Zhang He.

Historical evidence from the Qing dynasty showed that in the 18th century, Chinese mining settlers in Malaysia tried to submit themselves under the rule of the Qing, but the Qing emperor refused, saying China is big enough already. Lookup Lanfang Republic.

Historical precedence from the Republican era showed that the People's Republic has given up territory compared to the Republic. See all of outer Mongolia, which was ceded (and which Taiwan, a.k.a. the Republic, still formally claims).

Historical evidence from a few years ago shows that China's policy is non-interventionist. Lookup Yanis Varoufaski, former Greek minister: https://youtu.be/9tJatdtv4jQ
Lookup Gyude Moore, "China in Africa: an African perspective"

Where is the evidence that we can expect China to behave like the US?

> Certainly neither technique for covering an image that I showed in another comment is a hack. They’re both logical, coherent and fairly obvious ways of doing it.

The absolute "obvious ways":

- a wrapper div that has to be position: relative. And a display block/inline-block because otherwise it won't work. An svg and an image inside that div. The svg has to be position: absolute.

- a full-blown grid. Two elements must be forced to occupy the same cell in the grid

Ah yes. Absolutely logical and coherent and not hacks at all.

> Getting hover effects to render on top, well, I wouldn’t consider that a hack either, though it’s a little more subjective

"Not a hack": rendering is done in order, but you still have to "shunt the hovered element onto a new layer or increasing its z-index above".

And this still doesn't precisely solve the problem of "outlining a hovered element so that outline/shadow covers other items around". Because most likely you'll have layers on top of layers of "logical coherent" wrapper divs to make everything work together, and you have to spend some time figuring out how to make that particular problem actually work.

I struggle when I stay in a room alone with my thoughts. I start feeling heat in my head and desperation starts to kick in even though it's not physically painful. It's such a strange thing, my mind just wants to be distracted, kind of like a substance addiction. I've never taken it seriously to further investigate what's going on in there. I wonder if others experience something similar? I can tolerate a few minutes before my mind starts to wander and before I know it I am no longer in a room doing nothing, but engaged with a screen.

Makes me feel like I have no free will.
Indeed. That statement might be true for a short period of time as part of a transitional plan.
I thought The Sims University modeled it brilliantly, as one could succeed in classes without attending them by hosting study sessions with classmates and becoming a close friend to the instructors.

I don't use FB, but the status indicator is available in other messaging platforms that I've used lately (Slack and Teams).

I really appreciate it when people set their status, like when they go away for lunch, are running an errand, or working from home (pre-covid).

If you're tired of FB and their messenger, you could always delete your account ;)
It very well could be.

I think where MSFT gets mixed up is that they are obsessed with their products being able to solve *everyone's* use-case. Which means if they're talking to the business then it's a friendly "Low-Code" platform that any citizen developer can use. However, when they're talking to IT it's an amazing CI/CD tool for developing powerful enterprise applications! What's something that corporate IT is obsessed with? Making sure the business isn't creating shadow IT and developing enterprise applications.

In Our Time podcast had a great episode on this really recently: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000vyn6 Great stuff!
The source article actually provides no evidence of "hire-to-fire" practices. It simply states that there is a target URA of 6% and that's it.

The article posted here is pure speculation.

...and having worked for other large companies, I've seen similar metrics being tracked. It doesn't mean any of them are hiring just to fire people.

Frankly, I've noticed a LOT of poorly written anti-Amazon articles around, and I'm not clear if there's some effort to undermine the company. Is Amazon a political organization?
Depop is reuse. Progress is made on the margins. Absolutist judgement of something a lot of people like does nothing to help.
How is a “rich idiot” smart enough to build a cutting edge drone but dumb enough to accidentally fly it over an Air Force base? It doesn’t make any sense.

If it’s a foreign entity, how do they get it to Arizona in the first place? Why risk starting a war to test out your drone? If China or Russia has this capability, you know damn well the US does too so showing off seems unlikely.

And neither of these theories can identify a motive. Why would a rich idiot be flying near pipelines and air force bases to begin with. Why would a foreign country be doing a dry run so far from home at so much risk?

The only possibilities that I find compelling are domestic terrorist, the US government itself, or something spooky.
As a small US contract manufacturer working largely in Opensource Hardware I applaud their efforts. It is a step forward...even if it costs more.

There are many people in the US who would pay more for a phone made in the US. It isn't just military/govt. Although, they are not the majority.

I got into electronics in the mid/late 90s when there was still a lot of development and production in my area. I watched it largely move out of country and quite a few mid/high paying jobs largely disappear.

It still costs quite a bit more to have boards made in the US (unless you get your own equipment) but with the tariffs, shipping and possibility of further issues between our governments it starts to become fairly close to being worth the effort, at least for some things.
It would just take one or two lot rejections or a batch lost in shipping to make it not worthwhile for a mid sized producer. Large companies can absorb and plan in advance...small companies the loss may not be sizable...but the mid size company very well may have most of their eggs in the same basket so to speak.

I have had fairly good results with our Chinese manufacturer over the last 8 years or so but doing our own in house QA/Test is absolutely required. There has been very few batches where we could have got away with not doing so.

In our case we are doing small batch production in house while doing larger batches from China but since we have the machines in house and we can order parts from anywhere there is very little reason to not do our own in house production entirely. This allows for much tighter control over the process as well as defect mitigation on the fly during production.
The next few years are going to be very interesting for manufacturing worldwide. I expect it won't just be the US who is looking to bring at least a portion back to their country...or to countries which are cheaper/easier to work with.
I think depot would count as reuse, right?. Honestly, I'm stoked whenever we manage to make it past "recycle."

I'd be happier if they announced that recycling was fake and everything you throw in the blue bin is trash.

The entire reason Stack Overflow is a success to start with is because it's not paywalled; it was literally founded as a response to Experts Exchange's paywall, and outgrew it in no-time. Paywalling the content would demonstrate a spectacular lack of insight, althouh that's not unheard of I would be surprised if they ended up paywalling it.

I view music as I do eating - sometimes it's fun to sit and savor something, other times I crave junk.

Nothing wrong with either. Sure there are definitely artists I respect more than others, but sometimes it's more fun to just put on some trashy [insert genre here, I wont get specific] and enjoy.
> Maybe they can fix some of the problems.

I don't think so. Most of their problems are things that they don't even think are problems. They've attracted a large community of moderators who think similarly.

Once you get to that point it's too late. Any changes you make to fix things (e.g. allowing users to block nuisance users, making it harder to close questions, etc.) will just anger your mods who are a vocal minority that love closing questions and are nuisance users.

The only way is a new site.
I'd love to understand more. Is there anything like this that already exists that perhaps you modeled this approach from?

I'm having trouble envisioning the complete solution, but it really sounds intriguing and you've caught my attention.
I'm not a fan of Metallica's aesthetic (or metal in general), but honestly when I listen to those guys' music I hear genius.
The question is whether this still applies if in the last statement you replace Adderall with social media or "modern music". I've personally found no benefit from deliberately limiting digital stimulation. But these things are of course very difficult to measure and assess objectively.

For me, at least, cutting the grass is a rather meditative activity where I'm sorta in nature - enjoying a relatively nice day (I avoid cutting grass when it's raining because why would you ever do that). None of my troubles are in view (unless the exterior needs work) so I can relax and enjoy it. Compare that to vacuuming where you're within your space but aware of the fact that things are messy - potentially needing to contend with children or pets to actually get vacuuming done, and frequently shifting furniture and thinking about how to finish off the task in the quickest manner.

To me mowing the lawn is an activity where my mind can disengage apart from watching for the occasional suicidal squirrel - while vacuuming is an activity where my brain is constantly on the watch for something being amiss and me accidentally chewing up an expensive cable or rug.

This all aligns closely with what I think the distinction is for tasks that allow you to be creative - something relatively straightforward that requires your hands to be busy but where you can mostly zone out. For this purpose I like eating "slow fruit" namely pomegranates and grapefruits - where I take both fruits apart laboriously by hand after peeling them (eat the grapefruit like an orange - but peel each slice). While I'm doing this my mind is free to do whatever and my hands continue with only minimal guidance.
Your interview process is a wreck, anyway. It optimizes for people who spend a month or two grinding leetcode and rehearsing their Leadership Principle stories.

If you think that this effort is demonstrative of their ability to translate needs into working code and then deliver it, I have a bridge to sell you.

I don't think it would be difficult for an experienced hiring manager to identify someone who's well-rehearsed but otherwise incapable and then hire that person specifically in order to fire him later.

I think you're right and I may be a little too hard on the RPA vendors here.

> Every time I've tried a Moka I burn it.

The burn comes from sitting in the pot after brewing. If you grab it & transfer it as it boils over, then you won't get any burned taste.

Once coffee sits in it for 20 minutes, even with the stovetop off, it starts to go acrid & smoky.

Aeropress doesn't have that problem at all, of brewed coffee coming in contact with hot metal.

I like the Mokka pot for my first coffee, because it is relatively simple to operate before I've had my coffee.
I think you’re engaging in the exact sort of binary thinking that is the problem.

I’m saying: many people have enjoyed the effects of socializing and drinking alcohol for thousands of years. Perhaps we shouldn’t be so quick to demonize it since it seems to have demonstrated its utility.

You somehow read that as: “I need alcohol to have fun”.

Your reading is wrong.

Sure, it's possible. But which is more likely:

1) Inc. just published a bunch of BS, which would have taken no more than a quick call to a hiring manager to validate or invalidate. The fact that they didn't even try is telling. The cost of publishing a lie is exactly 0, and the potential benefit is going viral and making a lot of $$$ with associated advertising impressions and new subscribers.

2) There's a conspiracy happening at a scale of a few hundred thousand people, who all do highly immoral things but nobody is telling on each other. The BR has no incentive to partake in the conspiracy, because their track record will show a high attrition rate which is against their goals, but they still decide to violate their specific job directives. And again, not one BR, but since this is systemic behavior, it's the majority of BRs across all teams and locations.
That would be a drastic shift of the philosophy of CSS.

Which currently is:

(1) CSS holds no mutable state

(2) CSS selectors are all based on existing DOM/device state.

"On-click" is not a state, it's an event. CSS can't select an event. And toggling classes is new mutable state. CSS can't have mutable state.

Also you may be overstating the problem with this "so many needless use of JS". It's a tiny snippet you can add once and reuse it everywhere in your document.

let n = e.target;
do if (n.getAttribute?.('data-toggle') !== undefined) n.classList.toggle('on-click');
while (n = n.parentNode);
});

I skimmed the article very quickly since I didn't like the authors writing style. That line at the end struck me though. I'm not against cynicism in general but it is particularly destructive when combined with bitterness and contempt.

That helped me realize why I couldn't get through a paragraph of the essay without wanting to skip forward. This rant isn't coming from a place of love but instead it feels like it is coming from a place of contempt. It seems the author feels they are above others. They are dictating the correct behaviour like a priest to sinners.
