Just a general comment on KiCAD.

I'm honestly impressed that for my applications they have reached feature parity with EAGLE and Altium, both of which are $10k+ per license.

In my opinion their GUI still needs beauty and readability improvements, but they can somewhat compensate by having a great print preview and PDF export. I'm trying to lobby them towards supporting a wider selection of fonts, but that'll realistically take a year to arrive.

But where KiCAD really shines is compatibility. I was feeling rather grumpy after Altium priced me out of being able to open my old design files. But KiCAD could import them almost flawlessly. The only thing I needed to do by hand was to type in clearance constraint rules.

Export to Gerber and fab also worked as expected. Plus their community forum is like 1000x more lively than the beginner forums for Altium and EAGLE.
I wanted to try one new theme, but I reverted. I use TST and now Sidebery and had hidden top tab bar with user chrome. The themes no longer enforce the rule. Wish there was native support for hiding top tab bar.
For most jobs, I would say working from home is just fine.

But I've also worked on a trading floor.

The difference is that on the trading floor, every interaction is mutexed. You can talk to one person at a time, or you can shout down one line at a time. Someone comes to your desk and they get nothing until the previous conversation ends.

This works because you're mostly happy to delay whatever longer running projects you have on your desk, like fixing a spreadsheet. And because the information coming in on those conversations is high value, requiring immediate decisions.

Most people are not doing things in this way. If you're deep coding, you especially don't want someone to come and bother you. There's not much value in immediate interruption.
I do have to wonder if RGB(R(1), G(2), B(3)) is really going to be helpful at the level of sleep deprivation where someone would get RGB(1,2,3) wrong.

It already is successful in the U.S. We just had a coup attempt back in January because an angry mob was convinced that our presidential election was rigged. I don't really know what to do about the misinformation other than systematically destroy the internet: just start smashing routers and cutting cables and don't stop until everything goes back to normal.
That's all very true but any person using their own eyesight would have the same issues. This should be used as a narrowing of a search, same as Google's algorithm. Google doesn't give you the answers to your questions, they hopefully point you in the right direction, but sometimes don't give you a clear answer at all, but in clear and obvious cases it does match. Google also has programmed biases, but we all accept Google is one of the best tools.

> I would choose WFH. I'd forego money and even career opportunities for it.

Same. At least when I'm forced into (occasionally multi-)hour-long meetings that have no relevance to me, I can wander about doing chores whilst half-listening rather than being sat in an airless room wondering how I made such bad life choices as to end up there.
A good reasoning. But rather negative in tone of voice.

Gnome is not for you; good! Because there's lot's of choice: POPos, Mint, KDE, LXDE, iwm, and so forth and so on. This is what OSS en Linux is all about: choices! freedom!

Why not use one of the alternatives that fits your requirements better and praise that alternative?

It is an odd question on the internet where people regularly and normally put a lot of effort into reviews, blog posts, discussion forums comments and so on.

That coupled with question about affiliation probably makes people interpret is as not questions out of curiosity, but rather as sleazy way to introduce doubt on the author motivation.

Traditional moderation systems are built to handle abuse, such as threats, stalking, and spamming. Chinese moderation systems are built differently. As the title "Illegal and harmful information" suggests, they're primarily built around suppressing speech that is deemed politically undesirable. If you're interested in the details, I highly recommend you read the article written by someone who worked at 抖音, China's TikTok [1]. Oftentimes Chinese platforms are extremely responsive to reports about political speech, but are sluggish or do not respond at all to reports about abusive behavior. The Chinese systems are just designed differently, and are usually connected or even run directly by the government. e.g., if you click through on Gitee, you end up on a page run by the "Cyberspace Administration of China" [2].

I used to work for Google for few years and I did gain some weight - just like many of my coworkers did. The food was delicious and looked great so I was eating too much overall and did not pay attention to the healthy meat vs vegetables balance.

For the last five years we're cooking most of our meals at home, maybe go out or order food once or twice a month. The food we cook isn't as exotic, nicely looking or sophisticated as the food served at Google, but it is tasty, fresh, healthy and the groceries are pretty cheap. And despite being older, my blood results are better now than when I was leaving Google.
Soft tech maybe. Biotech/Semiconductor/Automation/Space sectors will still be 90%+ office/lab.
Wow. If that's the case maybe one should start giving more credit to Chinese companies when it comes to fundamental innovations. Looks like display tech and batteries might be the first areas where they are going to be at the forefront.
That's odd, since every merchant account (credit card processing) agreement from any bank I've ever read has the same 180 day period written into it for holds and reserve accounts. It covers any chargebacks that may come in after the account is suspended.
Also economics. The database for this message board must contain a million proposals for re-architeching society from scratch.

As a raw number, sure, 4000 is "many" but 10% is not really "many of whom" (which is what GP said) - for me, obviously; other people's interpretation may vary.

(e.g. If I said "there's some cats outside; many of them are blue" but only 10% are blue, I would expect people to query the "many".)

Hey, thanks for the response.

It's a website builder for (very) tech-phobic people. I mean people who consider both Wordpress and Squarespace too complicated.

It generates static sites which are then hosted on Cloudflare.

It doesn't do shops or giant blogs, but websites up to 10 pages are very quick and easy to create, without being restricted by themes. So instead of a theme-based or drag&drop block-style editor, our sites are assembled from pre-defined modules.

https://pinkpigeon.co.uk for some more info.

I've hesitantly talked about it on /r/webdev so far.
I have a very hard time believing that, especially considering the absolutely miniscule woofers, no tweeters and tiny cabinets. The marketing focuses mostly on "cool led lights" and "fashion design". Claiming that they sound better than studio monitors is an extraordinary claim, and there doesn't seem to be any sort of reviews available, and the only videos on Youtube are from people who bought them and basically go "yes, these make sound". Not a single actual review.

The JBLs are some of the most well-regarded studio monitors, routinely besting competitors at four times the price. They are JBL's crowning achievement in sheer performance per dollar, no joke.

I can only conclude that you have literally never heard a decent set of speakers in your life, or you're wasting everyone's time with an extremely low-effort troll.

They encouraged us to dress up for Halloween. A coworker came in with a cowboy costume including a toy gun. HR sent him home for bringing a gun to work. It was one of those you used to be able to buy at the 5 and dime. It might even have been his toy gun when he was a kid. It was absurd. As soon as it was time to do layoffs, they let him go. The family friendly atmosphere evaporates quickly when it's time to do layoffs. Your description of what happens after a suicide sounds about like I would expect.
Oh sure a specific set of exercise or regime which has a specific effect on body can be a copyright or patent depending on the media and the way they are presented. Like people talking about Ashtang Vinyasa Yoga, Viniyoga, Kundalini Yoga all can be patented in a specific way e.g. [1], obviously need to pay lawyer fee and go to courts to determine later if it can be used to earn money when other party who need to pay do not agree. It waste resources, hamper growth and dissemination of knowledge.

If someone patented the Decimal System or Abacus or Gun powder or Pythogorus Theorem or Fibonnaci Series or Newton patented its laws of motion and anyone using this laws and formula's in any system needs to pay royalty not sure what weird world will be.

Human knowledge stand on the giant shoulders of others and patent and copyright with ever-greening and useless litigation are making it hard and difficult. Can't fathom someone can copyright a rectangle drawing and sue phone companies for launching rectangle phones.

Without knowing more about the application, I'd guess probably caching and/or scaling. If you only need 1 payload then that can be statically generated and cached in your CDN. Which in turn reduces your dependence on the web servers so few nodes are required and/or you can scale your site more easily to demand. Also compute time is more expensive than CDN costs so there might well be some cost savings there too.

Yeah, there's been a few pushes, but has been pretty dead for at least a year. They pretty clearly stopped using it for the most part once they were put on the entity list.

> Traditional moderation systems...

I don't really see anything structurally different there versus western site moderation tools. It's totally valid to discuss china's political issues, but the fact that a 'contact the mods' button exists doesn't really further that discussion in a meaningful way.
I fired my Indian contractors when their company didn't let them work from home and forced them to be on site. They all got covid.
I agree. And as an introvert, working from home has actually made work more fun. I never liked sitting in a room with other people, nor did I like going out for lunch with my colleagues or having to do small talk face to face. I hated having to walk up to colleagues that I didn't know, just to ask them a few questions.

All these things are completely gone when working from home. I can focus on my work, get the job done and have my personal life back. Once I finish work at 6 (often earlier these days), I got the entire evening to myself. I already managed to go to the gym during lunch time, or did some groceries during the day.
This is the real question ppl commuting to work should ask themselves. Is 1-2h per day of commute worth the pay/benefits I get ?

When I get paid 200$ per hour, saving 20-30$ but losing 2h is totally not worth my time.

I would rather spend that time with family or my hobbies.

The most disturbing for me is that people interpret work of fiction as if it really happened rather then one persons speculative take. Lord of flies is made up. It is not sociological study.

Yet, the other thing is that boarding schools are notorious for bullying problem. And English boarding schools have ... particular history where older boys were allowed to beat younger boys. If we insist on making it real, that someone in charge of such school writes a book like this says less about general humanity. It says more about about how that institution was run and how he thinks they shaped the boys in their care.

Clarification: At least until the next release, PopOS is still very much GNOME.
One of many, though; I'm really getting my hackles up with corporations making end users responsible for things like plastic, industrial farming and co2 emissions. Yes they're a part of the equation, but there's much bigger impact to be made if they work from the top down.

Mind you, there are things like that going on (at least in my neck of the woods), with things like subsidies to consumers for going to battery powered cars and installing solar panels, and subsidies to e.g. energy producers for building wind farms out at sea.

SO had quite some toxic moderators who came in early and dominated everything because of their 5-fig karma. It drove me away from helping out there.
The expected part is very much a culture thing that doesn't have to happen. My coworkers work all kinds of weird schedules, so there really is no basis to assume that someone will respond at a specific time if you haven't scheduled that with them, and it works just fine. I guess in a place where only a few people deviate that might be trickier to establish.
> That was meant to be constructive :)

Uh, ok, sorry :-) It's just that I have been a bit upset by some other comments that made me feel like I am a bad guy only because I did something different and said it would be nice to make some money out of it.

> I enjoy typing and drawing on my iPad Pro, and one of the reasons it is enjoyable is that the iPad Pro has very low input latency.

You would be surprised. Apple has put a tremendous amount of effort to make their stylus low latency, and they did a terrific job. The latency is good for handwriting and drawing, or for typing. But for games I believe that there is still a very long way to go. Early machines had a solution that worked very well but the industry evolved in a completely different direction.

> Your interesting approach is not what people are going to buy. They're going to buy what happens because of it. That's what you've got to sell if you want to sustain the development!

You're absolutely right about this. I am painfully aware of this. I have many years of "interesting approaches" that go nowhere for lack of ability to connect with people on that level.

You know, different people have different abilities. There are exceptional people who are good both at their craft and at selling it, some only at their craft. Picasso and Van Gogh, Edison and Tesla, Gauss and Galois.

I am hoping to connect with other people, with experience in the area of selling and communications.

But more practically, there are a few places to get started. One I am looking at is the retro gaming space. Input latency is a big deal there. If I can manage to give people a low latency retro console, they are going to be interested. I have to customise an existing emulator, which I will be looking into after this round of "marketing", i.e. posting about my project on social media.
If companies find it works best for them to have people in the office, I understand that. But as someone who has been working fully remote since 2010, I would personally never commit to a job that didn't give me at least 3 months of working vacation per year (minimum) where I can work from wherever I want. I hope it becomes the norm for companies that aren't fully remote to explicitly offer working vacation between 3-11 months per year as a standard benefit. Most of the companies I've worked with are fully remote, but have an office available for those who want to work there, and do an all hands on-site once or twice a year for two to four weeks.
They at least stick a fuse module in too so it exists in the normal filesystem and non gnome apps can work with normal filepaths still. But yeah, agreed that it's also a case of this being implemented at entirely the wrong layer, probably following in the windows shell extension's footsteps blindly.

I certainly do have a suggestion - turn off your computer, switch off the news, and go outside or do whatever else. Anything's better than sitting in front of a screen and purposelessly seething about the other side on the behest of mass media.

Same advice applies for Republicans/right-leaning people.
I was at one of those places. The owner,board,Upper mgmt would have a hissy fit (sometimes literally) when anyone requested any sort of work from home condition. Declaring (sometimes screaming) that the business would go under nothing would get done, ect,ect.. They couldn't manage things that way. Even though we would often go months without hearing from any of these aforementioned people.

Then the Thanos *snap happened and one day we all had to be WFH almost overnight. What changed? Literally nothing except better more humane working conditions. Everything got done business is still fine.

So are some of us bitter about it? Definitely.
This event in 530 is one of the reasons I'm so optimistic about our ability to cope and survive in the face of disaster. A decade of no crops, and year-long winters. It changed the history of England, possibly the world. It created what we now refer to as "the Dark Ages". But we survived, and bounced back.

I fully relate to this. Years ago I worked for a Canadian subsidiary of a US company doing work with the US government. On a (illegal in Canada) US government form I accurately marked down that my "Protected Origin Class". I am 50% African and 50% Asian, as a Moroccan-Jewish, Israeli.

We were audited. The American auditor was flabbergasted by my values on the form. He literally told me that as a (visible, brown) Jew, I couldn't possibly mark those things down. I had to resort to pulling out maps and asking if Morocco was in Africa and Israel was in Asia. He was flummoxed by my refusal to mark down "white" when a) I'm not white, and b) his form offered me the ability to mark down what I am. Pointing out that percentage-wise as Jew, I was less than 0.006% of Canada's population also didn't make me a minority apparently.

That was the last time I ever assumed that minority is supposed to mean anything other than the tokenized narrative of the time.
At work we work an a Python Library to do this, and much more:

PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/flattentool/

It converts JSON to CSV and vice versa but also Spreadsheet files, XML ...

It has recently had some work to make it memory efficient for large files.
