A wild guess: execs supplement their income by having stakes in food/rent businesses around the HQ offices. If employees don't come, those businesses will lose customers and the execs will suffer. I mean, if you were such an exec and knew the corp is about to build a large office somewhere, wouldn't you buy 40-60% stakes in key businesses there while they are cheap? And wouldn't you cry wolf if the new office never opened beyond 10% capacity? I've seen a few strange apartment complexes built in odd places and charging brazen rent that doesn't make sense unless the owners knew something years ahead.

> Or are these people working for companies that provide food or something.

It's this. Companies started offering food to keep their employees in the office longer. That people here are saying they prefer eating at work due to the cost shows it worked.
Lord of the flies was written shortly after world war 2, which also really happened... I don't take it seriously as a story of what would really happen if boys ended up on an island, but humans killing each other for dumb reasons is not the stuff of fantasy.
Those people probably get food at work. If you add up all of my snack eating + multiple coffees + lunch and dinner it becomes fairly costly per day.
I work in EU too, but a lot of coders around here start at 10:00+.. especially in smaller companies.
This mentality of "there will always be new exploits" bothers me. Yes, there will always be exploits, but we can do a hell of a lot better at preventing them than we are. We know how to design systems that are really hard to get into – we just don't do that. Blaming a lack of IT funding is misguided in my opinion too.

I think this has to do with seniority. When I was a lot more experienced than my coworker, doing pair programming was insanely fun. Because it felt like solving a puzzle with a friend, or exploring a video game with my sister. Now I'm occasionally pair programming with my manager -- who's like a 1000x me -- pair programming is mentally blocking. It's because my peer thinks so much faster than I do that it feels like I'm watching an action movie on 10x speed except every 3 minutes someone pauses the movie and asks questions.

EDIT: To make myself clear, this is not a criticism of my boss, it's just that pair programming with someone who is a lot more experienced than you is just naturally intimidating.
I usually recommend guys start with r/malefashionadvice to learn how to fit in, and then later on you can learn how to stand out. (edit MFA is US-centric but some of the concepts are still universal) It’s hard to fashionably stand out without knowing the fundamentals of constructing a basic outfit and knowing a little bit of fashion heritage, which you’ll learn from that subreddit. Once you’ve been there for a few months and learned all the standard MFA outfits, I’d leave and go in your own direction. People there tend to be a bit sanctimonious and rigid. Instagram and Pinterest are good places to find further inspiration once you have a bit of taste to filter out the garbage.

The fun part starts when you graduate from MFA and start to explore your own style. It’s rewarding to put together a visual identity that feels deeply personal, and then get a complement from another cool-looking stranger when you’re out and about. It feels like that person really likes YOU, and they probably do — and now you have the perfect ice-breaker. It’s just like working out; it’s an investment but there’s cumulative benefits in multiple aspects of your life.
>There are also plenty of people who like their coworkers and enjoy spending time with them

You can do this without forcing them to be around you. That's apparently a new concept to a lot of people.
I'm sorry, I haven't registered a new account in a while. I tested an account I've had since 2016 that I made with a ex employer's landline phone and I've never registered a credit card to.

Ignoring the tasteless act of trying to use the slack at the end of an allocation for your side projects, the bug really highlights the dangers of illiterate interfaces, to wit Color::Color(u8 r, u8 g, u8 b) from Serenity LibGfx. Calling this incorrectly is incredibly easy to do and invisible to the reader at the call site. Authors need to work with the type system to avoid these bugs, in this case having distinct types for red, green, and blue so the compiler will stop you from assigning red to blue without an explicit conversion. "Simple confusion of RGB vs. BGR" is not something that should seem natural to programmers. It's an error caused by underuse of the type system, just treating everything as a bag of numbers.

I commuted 1.5 hours each way, bike in summer and public transit in winter both took the same time. I loved biking but public transportation sucks.

Why?

Rent was triple what I was paying to be close, or double to cut the commute in half. And I had no job security.
The fact that he wrote the book during the English Civil War really ought to get more play than it does; amid such dire circumstances a desire for order at any price is understandable, but Hobbes' situation and personal biases are rarely taken into account.

A thoughtful counterpoint (albeit a somewhat idealistic and romantic one) to Hobbes' is found in the writings of Peter Kropotkin.

> I maybe in the minority in this comments section but I genuinely enjoy working from office.

In my experience, plenty of people enjoy working from the office. Many of us enjoy a mix of in-office and WFH.

The comments sections on these articles tend to receive a lot of projection from people who simply hate their jobs and view WFH as a partial antidote to that.

That, and a lot of comments from people who have absurdly long commute times. In the past I've had good success with mixed WFH/in-office schedules and very flexible schedules to allow people to reduce their overall commute burden. For those who can't or won't relocate closer to the office, full remote companies are always an option. For everyone else, I suspect we'll see a trend toward returning to office for the sheer efficiency and communication improvements.
What do you mean by neural network embeddings?
Makes me think of David Graeber's book Bullshit Jobs. In it he notes that people in power try to get as many underlings as possible whether it's useful for the company or not. I wonder if management has felt "out of control" and less "powerful" now that people are working from home.
If you look at the past 30 years of frontend, I don't think you'd find a place where you would want to pause the change. The IE 6 era? The Flash era? The jQuery era?
Another place to insert randomness that could have uncovered this would be in the allocator size classes. In non-optimized builds, if your allocator has size classes, just pick them randomly. In my experience this uncovered a lot of bugs in programs linked against tcmalloc.
Laws that disincentive paying ransoms don’t seem to necessarily be that simple to implement and uphold, at least as long as cryptocurrencies are in the equation.

Someone may have paid into that wallet, but who? Was it the attackers themselves, to make it seem to observers as if they succeeded? Did some consultant happen to keep a stash of crypto? Maybe the boss of the hacked organization wisely maintained a wallet for that purpose, funded by embezzling?
Yeah but you get the most bang for your buck out of rent. What's the point of renting in NYC or SF if your only there for like 2 hours.
Looking at it on a 27" 5K screen — not a matter of screen resolution. The font size is definitely too small for comfortable reading, and once zoomed to a reasonable font size, the column width is too large.

"If a professor makes a sexist joke, a female student might well find it so disturbing that she is unable to listen to the rest of the lecture. Suggestive pictures used in lectures on image processing are similarly distracting to the women listeners and convey the message that the lecturer caters to the males only. For example, it is amazing that the Lena pin-up image is still used as an example in courses and published as a test image in journals today." ~D. P. O'Leary, 1999

I don’t think we’re discussing police brutality here, not that it isn’t terrible and more common than it should be. I live in King County and every week it seems some person assaults another for little to no reason (often with a hilarious number of priors) and walks the same night. That is the violent crime that isn’t prosecuted here that the GP was referring to.
The point is that a credit card is not a proxy for age.
I think the subset of programmers who don’t need something like SO’s value proposition is vanishingly small. Surely there are a few hundred people who have near perfect recall bolstered by perfect reference techniques.

At least speaking for myself, almost two decades in, I didn’t outgrow SO because I don’t need that kind of guidance. I outgrew SO because it doesn’t provide it effectively anymore.
Recruiters on LinkedIn already picked up on this and predictions of this. Last few weeks they've all been emphasizing "fully remote but SV pay-scales". I'd expect many resignations given this Mon+Wed+Thu selection that clearly says "we need your asses in our chairs, and damn the data that says otherwise"
We’re not talking about the police, we’re talking about violent criminals who are arrested and then let go.
Depends on the kind of joke. Stuff that's a reference to a pretty universal life experience tends to survive pretty well. Stuff based on double meanings or phonetics generally fares poorly.
The result is correct, but that's not (IMHO) "partial differentiation wrt. x", it's finding the (regular) derivative of g := x -> f(x, y(x)), specifically:

We can write g = f . (id, y)^T ("." being function composition).

By the multivariable chain rule

g'(x)

= f'(x, y(x)) * ((x, y(x))^T)'

= (∂f(x, y(x)) / ∂x, ∂f(x, y(x)) / ∂y) * (1, y'(x))^T

= ∂f(x, y(x)) / ∂x + (∂f(x, y(x)) / ∂y) * y'(x).
Hypotheticals aside, there are very real and practical reasons for wanting to protect firmware and prevent tampering; and none of them are nefarious in nature.

One such reason is simply compliance: if a device is only capable of safe operation when running within a certain spec and dangerous otherwise, regulatory frameworks might require manufacturers to ensure said specs are honoured.

While a manufacturer can and must provide the "robust and well tested software ecosystem" you yourself desire, Mrs random tinkerer might not. A device running with modified firmware might therefore lose its operating license and - best case scenario - get damaged in the process, or on account of it being dangerous if operated outside of spec endanger the life, health and/or property of its owner/user/operator.

There's no need to dream up hypothetical scenarios on distant planets when all it takes is a typo to turn an MRI machine into a waffle iron for people or an Insuline dispenser into a super effective suicide device.

Not every device is intended- or safe to be tampered with by unqualified laypeople.

It's also pretty arrogant to assume just because you know how to program to also have sufficient knowledge to be able to understand and make meaningful changes to every conceivable device in existence that uses some kind of firmware.

There's a reason certain jobs require qualification and there's also good reasons certain devices are not to be messed with by unauthorised/unqualified people either.
Good for them. Because we all know nobody does anything at home. I prefer office where I get credit for not doing anything!
You should get dressed properly and prepare even if you're working from home.
Definitely not difficult to vote a new member into a board as a passive member with that logic. I never thought of that before honestly but it makes perfect sense.
Ones support of WFH seems to depend almost entirely on their distance from the office. The other stuff is superfluous.
> I wonder how a VC would feel if a startup said “we have some ideas but our real innovation comes from people just randomly running into each other in the hallway. Will you invest?”

I'm sure they would not invest in you because you didn't understand the arguments of office vs remote work. They'd probably think you were kinda dumb if your entire knowledge of human interaction was reduced down to "randomly running into each other in the hallway".
As a person who works in cyber security, no, no we probably wouldn't share those details. It gives an edge to attackers about how we track them. Those details are only made public when the malicious activity is aggressive or widespread enough, at which point it's for the greater good to go public and bare it all. There is so much that goes into that blurb that you cannot even comprehend unless you work at a security agency/company, and many times on the specific incident in question.
Including Bertone's design study of the already existing Mustang (which was designed internally at Ford) is quite misleading without clarifying, and I wonder how much else also omits information.
> then SO handed over the data proving it?

Yes, something like that.

The very first mention of the Silk Road online was from a user named "altoid" on Shroomery – the post is actually still up: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/1386099...

altoid was also the name of the account that had originally posted another question on SO, not the one about sessions, but one about Tor services: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15445285/how-can-i-conne...

The SO account was later changed from altoid to frosty. The email address used to register the SO account was rossulbricht@gmail.com.

Also when the FBI imaged the Silk Road server, the username was "frosty". There were just so many links going back to him :-/

There have been long articles about the Silk Road and its demise, the Wired ones have a lot of details including what I mentioned above. Part 1 is here: https://www.wired.com/2015/04/silk-road-1/
If when you take people's mug shots, you also record their age, gender and race (should you?), then you can filter by those characteristics without the automated process being "based on the physical characteristics of an individual's face" -- you'd just be filtering on a DB column like any other.

But if you didn't record or have access to those fields, and you tried to infer age, gender and race from the photo, and then filter -- well, what if your system is much more accurate guessing ages for some racial groups than others, or more accurate in distinguishing between white and latinx than between latinx and asian? Suddenly your "filtering" process can also have a bias problem, where some people are more likely than others to be included in the results for a query which shouldn't actually include them.
To the persons down voting, did you manage to read the piece till the end?

"When I arrived at his eighth-floor office, overlooking the sprawling Belgian capital, he poured himself a cup while staring down at Molenbeek, which has been called by its own mayor “a fertile ground for terrorism.”"

"Belgian police first established a Bureau of Art and Antiques in 1988. Thirteen years later, when Belgium reorganized its law enforcement agencies, the unit became part of the country’s federal police force and was renamed Section Art"

"he recalled the investigation from behind his tidy desk, next to a table piled high with old case files. He wore gray slacks, a short-sleeve button-up, and the scuffed black dress shoes favored by detectives and those who play them on TV. His face served as its own good-cop-bad-cop routine: friendly, disarming smile; penetrating blue eyes."

This story is examined nicely in Rutger Bregman's book Humankind: A Hopeful History.

TL:DR; It turns out that in the real world, nothing like the Lord of the Flies happened; in fact the opposite happened.

Highly recommend Bregman's book, by the way, which shoots down many of the faulty foundations of what we take for granted as fact today about human nature. I believe this article is an excerpt from the book.
Find a job where your take-home pay is at least 2x, but preferably 3x or 4x, what you need to spend to live your life. Put that remaining 50% (or 67% or 75% or whatever) into reasonably-aggressive investments. Not YOLO-risky, but not anything too conservative either. Don't actively manage your portfolio; most of your wealth should be in index funds or index ETFs. Work hard at your job, get promoted, actively ask for and negotiate for raises, and switch companies whenever you think your current job won't yield significant pay raises anymore.

This won't make you fabulously rich, but you're likely to be able to retire fairly early this way.

To further optimize, pick a high-salary field like software development, and a subfield that is in high demand and requires specialized skills (ML/AI, for example). In addition to that subfield, get yourself a bunch of generalized knowledge about the field overall so that you can be enough of a jack-of-all-trades such that people value you outside your niche as well. I talk about software because that's an industry I know, but I'm sure there are others.

After you've amassed some cash, look for privately-held companies that have strong revenue and revenue growth, and look like they're going to go public in the next 1-3 years. Try to get large ISO option grants when you join, and exercise about a year's worth immediately (assuming the company offers early exercise) so you don't owe any taxes in the year of exercise. After you hit the standard 1-year vesting cliff, start looking for another company in a similar situation. Do this three, four, maybe five times.

The downside is that, depending on the option strike price and number of options, you need a decent amount of cash for those option exercises, and the stock you buy isn't immediately liquid. There's some risk to this approach, certainly, but there's also potentially high reward, and you've diversified somewhat by putting your eggs in the baskets of several companies. You can also adjust your risk level by only exercising company options up to some percentage of your net worth that you decide meets your risk tolerance.

As these companies go public, start selling off the stock, and put the proceeds into more-diversified investments. Take the emotion out of it; plan to sell some percent of your total every quarter, such that you've sold it all after 2-4 years. Remember that you will owe taxes on the gains. You can invest the money you need for taxes, but keep those in fairly conservative investments. If you expect those investments to earn you a lower rate of return than the tax underpayment penalty in your jurisdiction, pay estimated taxes quarterly (assuming you're in the US).

If you don't like that optimization path, then a pretty "safe" way to get more money is to be amazing at your job and at climbing the career ladder. VP and C-level folks at medium-to-large public companies will tend to make bank, much of it via equity grants. This takes time, though: at best, you'll make VP in your mid-thirties if you're really good.

It isn't just that they prefer eating at work due to cost. Work provides prepared food.

Preparing food means getting ingredients, tracking expiration and making and storing leftover food.

In some ways this is wonderful, in others it is a huge time and energy sink compared to eating at work.

Spoiled food wastes more than money and it happens easily.

You can buy prepared food for home via takeout or frozen but those have their own problems.
