With Sidecar I was hoping that physically connecting the iPad to the Mac would be enough. Would a physical connection (with perhaps an additional prompt) be a sufficiently secure authorization alternative? Putting my opsec hat on: I suppose someone could (theoretically) use an adapter to tunnel USB/Thunderbolt through a wireless connection to work around the need for a physical connection.
Density brings in more tax revenue to pay for expanding the sewers and can support more mass transit to reduce traffic -- no street widening needed.

In many cities, it's the poorer denser neighborhoods that subsidize the more affluent less dense neighborhoods.

The team I was on had never met in person. I think fully remote can work for a large portion of the population, once the same effort and resources are provided to them as in office workers.

> how much of the current productivity is the result of relationships that were built in the office.

This is going to be the big struggle for teams who formed in person but are now hiring remote.

I joined my current company about six months prior to the pandemic and had ample time to get to know my colleagues face-to-face, making the transition to remote working very pleasant. I'm not sure if the experience has been the same for people we've onboarded remotely; they're productive but I'm unsure if it'll be easy for them to build up the same kinds of relationships.

You also tend to get into situations where there's a social divide between a subset of the team who have constantly worked together synchronously in the past and new starters who only appear in 2D on Zoom. This may not be a problem for some people, but it's a concern for someone like me who gets a lot of their daily social interactions via work.
As others said, this is just a French stunt during their 6-month presidency, which is being amplified in the Anglo press because of post-Brexit tensions. The actual working languages will stay the same. Half the Union would probably leave tomorrow, if French really became the dominant language.

One of the marvels of the EU institutional cathedral is the way they can manage effectively more than a dozen different languages. Yes, there are a handful of preferred ones, but in the end everything has to be translated to even the most obscure lingo. Sadly, instead of celebrating this epic taming of Babel, the French insist in narrow-minded cultural imperialism (as a reaction to Anglo-american imperialism, many of them would probably retort...), so they periodically pull these stunts. Nobody really cares, but if it keeps them invested in the Union, I'm happy to let them play king for 6 months.
Keep in mind Edward Tufte died like 250 years earlier. Most of the UIs are probably developed by Belters who made a career change after a 6 month coding bootcamp on Ceres.
What do you suggest we do and what do you except the voters, managements, shareholders, jury, customers and parent will think about it? I don't care what they think, or want to but seems to me that is what most people do all day.
As a junior engineer, this is how I felt. Before the pandemic, getting help was as easy as sending a ping and rolling my chair over. Now, ironically, it's far harder to get help, as getting into a meeting (even a short, impromptu one) is a significantly bigger deal.

I go into a minor state of social anxiety and just struggle to get anything done for a good 10 minutes before a meeting. Mainly because there's far more of a "I'm interrupting this person" feeling when I can't see their screen.
Sure, that would be better, but we do not live in fantasy land. You are making best (but unreachable in today's political climate) the enemy of good.

On further thought, it would be best if both the pipeline and the oil transport by trucks/trains are taxed out of existence.
I have also been working remotely for the past around 7 years.

After my initial experiences I have decided that remote only works under certain conditions and the most important is that all meetings are from your personal (office or home) PC.

It doesn't work when the team has meetings on site but don't bother to invite the odd one remote guy. It likewise doesn't work when people sit together in a conference room but you are one of the few calling in.

Bad audio both ways, problems phoning in, people just plain deciding to not bother setting it up... ugh.

I am happy there is now no shortage of remote options.
Which one is which?

Is Master = Far and Slave = Near? I'd lean towards the opposite but I can't tell for certain.
New Zealand Startup Spritely Uses Postman to Create Health Tech for Retirees
Oil use depends on the cost of oil. As such while less efficient than a carbon tax this is a small net benefit to the environment.
This is true, but if new taxes are politically untenable (which, in the current US political environment, they definitely are), the choice isn't between inefficiency and a tax, it's between inefficiency and the status quo. Politics is the art of the possible.
Hmm... This is interesting. Did the terms of the contract change? I'm not an app developer and I know that Apple takes a 30% cut.

> More people speak English than Mandarin and that language base represents a dramatically larger economy than Mandarin does.

Oh I agree but I was jocularly speculating on multiple constraints, to whit English is unacceptable as it would imply something favourable about those damned splittists; Spanish would not be acceptable because it would elevate one European country's language above others (though wasn't that the de facto story about English before Brexit?) etc etc.

In a different comment I argued for English because is not the selected language of any EU country.

Hmm, German might be a good choice as it is the EU language of three nations, so has a "majority vote" :-)
I don't know much about naming viruses but if Covid-19 is from 2019, then we might be able say with some validity that we are now encountering Covid-20 and the delta strain is Covid-21.
That might explain some of the second infections. (?)

Since we are dealing with a corona virus and the common cold corona virus forms have been with us for many years I am not expecting that this will ever be completely gone, just managed.

> I can't remember who I heard this from, but they asked the audience to imagine a speech-based steering wheel for cars. "Turn left... more... more... MORE!!! LESS! LESS!"

Star Trek fans probably would know the correct answer: don’t use a steering wheel; that’s just a means towards a goal, not the goal itself. Everybody who ever used a taxi could have figured out the proper speech UI for a car, too: “Take me to the airport”/“follow that car”/etc.

We don’t have touch-based ovens where you prod the fire with your bare fingers or cars where you have to tap a screen to inject gasoline at just the right time, either.

Actually, the ideal UI is like a good butler: you don’t even have to tell him what you want; he just knows.

But yes, the answer likely will be ‘never’.
Thanks for detailing your specific criticisms, seems like you've some valid points. I can't say that I've been privy to any of the stories about psychosis, but if your anecdotes are personally verified (and you clearly know your shit) then I must be somewhat swayed by your experience. As an aside, I also think people should be cautious about psychosis from cannabis, based on my own witness of it ruining lives. Do you have any knowledge specifically about NBOMe?

As for Sam Harris, he says a bunch of unseemly things so I also understand your distaste for him. He does take a strong interest in psychedelics and meditation however, which are both interests of mine.
So don’t install it then. You can use other software.

Why would you limit everyone else rather than make a choice for yourself?
For anyone not very familiar with copyleft, the actual goal is:

> My work on free software is motivated by an idealistic goal: spreading freedom and cooperation. I want to encourage free software to spread, replacing proprietary software that forbids cooperation, and thus make our society better. [1]

Free as in freedom for the users of the software to control, audit, and modify what runs on their hardware.

The stipulations are there to prevent people who aren't aligned with those goals from benefiting from (and working against) the work done by the community that believes in those goals.

Many many people agree with both of you. Don’t feel alone.
A high price of oil makes it profitable to sell oil.

A market-based acceleration in renewables energy use requires well funded energy companies to pivot. High priced oil doesn't get them to do that. Low priced oil doesn't either, but a sharp drop in oil prices can.

Some other incentive is still necessary.
Seems to be more of a personal problem of the writer: "Many of my high achieving friends had an underlying anxiety and discontentedness."

The more common "creating for an imaginary group of people" problem is creating a product for a too-narrow niche. You see a lot of those if you go to VC presentations. It's classically a problem of writers writing their first bad novel.[1]

What the paper calls for is the definition of censorship.

A group of individuals with government oversight decides what is allowed to be published. The document expressly states this is to quiet certain voices.

Definition of censorship: "he suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security."
I think it is subjective. Having done both a few times, from both sides, and I still prefer remote. Little is lost and much is gained in terms of control over ones environment.
Your code will not compile. `str::as_bytes` returns a `&[u8]` and indexing that gives a `&u8`, but `u8::make_ascii_uppercase` requires `&mut u8`. There is no safe way to get a `&mut [u8]` from a `&mut str` or a `&mut String` (because it would violate str's utf-8 invariant).

You don't need to downgrade to `[u8]` in the first place. `&mut str` already has its own `make_ascii_uppercase`
So… don’t do it.
No license is going to prevent you from using your own work.

Of course if you accepted external contributions to your code under a copyleft license then you can't use that part freely, but that's kind of the point.
If it's a mistake, it's a charitable one. Picking log utility is at least somewhat principled, trying to lead almost surely to higher wealth is way more arbitrary.
Apple gets 30% of what the end user pays. IaP has always worked this way. It's a high tax to be sure, but it's not like Apple gets half, or more than half.

If you can't run a self-sustaining business with the remaining 70%, then you have two choices at the moment: (1) find a new business to be in, or (2) do what similarly situated businesses do, and use a different mechanism for collecting revenue than IaP.
Back when applications were typically designed in this way, the best practice was to limit database access to running certain stored procedures on a per-client basis, and use those stored procedures as the client's "API" to the data.
Get the job from the bay area and then move.

Once you have the job, you're a black box that takes inputs and spits out work outputs in return for a monthly payment, and the company doesn't need to care where you actually are doing the work, as long as the black box works to specs (the JD).
I am fine with EIP1559. If ETH becomes deflationary, it would still have other uses and something else can fill in the "currency" use.

Intuitively (have no idea how to do this), it would be interesting to have Country's coin supply grow (approx.) with its GPD/productivity.
I think this was true 2000 years ago as well.

What soldiers dont realize is they join a group that pays them quickly and discard them as fast as they're useless, like say a blind bus driver would be. And that's fine and normal.

Now the trick is soldiers might have misunderstood patriotic propaganda, ideals of national defense etc that are marketing tool for the clients who pay taxes for the various program the military sells them.

A good soldier should choose his army wisely, understand when the contract will end and that it will be it, and prepare a post-army plan from the beginning.

Otherwise they just look like whiny morons who believed an ad for children, joined a group paid at steep price by clients and then turn back after the contract was duly completed "but, but, I gave my life for you": you gave nothing, you signed and you got paid.
I participated in reddit secret santa twice, 10 years ago. Both times, I sent something out and got nothing. It was a nice idea, and I'm not really salty about it cuz I gave some nice things to strangers and the point of the season is more about giving than getting.

But it never really delivered on its fundamental premise, even when it was small. These were problems that existed a decade ago.
Sure, but you should also just not give permits when the project is dangerous (which was what multiple agencies and courts had suggested in this case but one of the last three administrations was trying to overrule them)
Read the book Working In Public. A big chunk of that book is diving into the various economic models for OSS, covering pros and cons through real world examples.
Yes but it's not their "official" EU language. I don't know if they nominated German or simply didn't nominate one at all as German was already official.
I don't know if that's me, but I'm a engineering manager that focuses on personal relationships and remote has made my job harder and take way more energy. High fidelity communication is hard or impossible and the alternatives frankly, suck.

I don't _think_ I get high from controlling an office environment (not sure what that means) but I sure miss white boards and in-person collaboration.
Same. I considered switching iCloud accounts when I switch between work/personal modes but decided that the risk of accidentally leak information between account or losing data was too great.

At least with the Macs I can create a separate OS user account and have that account signed into the other iCloud account. Think iPad OS will support multiple users some day?

Yeah, I see a lot of ways to monetize FOSS.

Providing paid support a la Red Hat, paying for hardware/cloud space, or even paid binaries if you think your customers won't bother to build from source.

(Yes, one can build from source then distribute free binaries, but maybe those same customers won't even go to the trouble of finding them?)

Only one glass a day, so maybe 20oz. I was working out of a coffee shop, and would have an iced coffee or a latte in the morning but then wanted something non caffeinated in the early afternoon. I think the combination of the large coffee and the large iced tea was just too much diuretic for whatever reason. Fortunately the problem seems to have resolved itself after a couple years.
Sure, and to the extent that the feedstocks for all of those processes become more expensive, it makes cleaner alternatives more competitive in sectors where they exist, and in sectors where they don't, creates stronger incentives to develop new ones. It's not like this one pipeline will mean suddenly there's no more fertilizer, but any slight increases in cost will help incentivize change at the margins.
That last sentence has me baffled so I'm just going to ignore it - the rest of your post is interesting.

I've always thought that work and life were far too closely bound together - I neither want to pick up nor be picked up at work and while I have occasionally made a really good friend at work most of my friends come from pursuing interests (i.e. board games and RPGs) so I'd be extremely happy if workplace relationships got comparatively less important in people's lives.

The ability to engage in additional interests is a really interesting point but I'm afraid we're going to lose it without really strong push-back. The trend of employment since the seventies has seemed to be - whenever an employee isn't working isn't it a shame? During the pandemic companies have mostly (from my observation) been pretty chill about pushing extra workloads due to the generally high natural level of stress everyone is feeling. I'm interested to see if companies treat the extra hour or two we'll all be saving from the commute as a nice bonus for employee moral or time that should rightfully be spent working.

I think your scenario is a very interesting and quite realistic outcome, but my pessimism still has me in the "Wait until everything gets terrible again" camp.
No they wouldn't. See the Google Play Store.
My one anti-vax friend (who I make fun of constantly for not getting it) is constantly bombarded with people telling him that his previous infection doesn't give him any immunity. I already knew that was false - and I think he knew that too. It probably fed into his (motivated) reasoning to hold out this long if people are telling him so much information they know to be untrue.

Still, I don't see how public health would benefit from not recommending shots to everyone as there is no downside.

From the wikipedia article on Mediterranean Lingua Franca

So it's not the "language of Franks".

Also,

> Lingua franca means literally "language of the Franks" in Late Latin, and originally referred specifically to the language that was used around the Eastern Mediterranean Sea as the main language of commerce. However, the terms "Franks" and "Frankish" were actually applied to all Western Europeans during the late Byzantine Period.

Try saying, "I work on this project every fifth business day, so how about we discuss it at every fifth meeting?" Micromanagement is when a manager tells you how to do your work. Goals and milestones is a management task, so it's not an unreasonable ask. If they're asking you to write those yourself, then maybe they're wondering if you'd make a good manager. Imagine yourself as the 10x developer who needs to report to the director on what the other 9 developers are (1) doing and (2) intend to do.

Also, who cares if it's more work? Programming for me is not just a job but also a hobby. So if I'm working a job where the employment contracts states the company owns everything I do during the 168 hour work week, then my 20% time usually becomes 160% time (80% + 80%). You have to be willing to go to great lengths to keep people happy. Particularly the people who end up working on your project as part of their 80% time.
This is where my original comment was intended. It would seem anyone reading this document in its entirety and extracting the focus on any group or any specific event should see that the premise is a prescription for censorship.

Apple doesn't allow third party web browsers on iOS so native apps are the only viable solution until that changes.
They're not really free: "This feature is available for customers on an App Service Plan of Basic and above (free and shared tiers are not supported)." They're GoDaddy certificates, and their price is charged back through the App Service pricing.

Similarly, Azure Front Door also has "free" certificates, but they just integrate it into the relatively high cost of the service.

If you want certificates for some other unrelated IaaS or PaaS service... Microsoft says no. They want their margin.

Back to GoDaddy: their attitude is very 1990s, so they sometimes use manual approval for certificates. This makes ARM Templates that normally take minutes to deploy just hang and take hours, or even fail.

Worse, they don't use the DNS address in your request for validation of domain ownership. Instead, they determine the "TLD+1" with some heuristics. Unfortunately, there is no such concept in the Domain Name System itself, so this is unreliable at best. This approach is broken by design and cannot be made to work for many domains. For example, in Australia, App Service Certificates cannot ever be used for subdomains of act.gov.au, nsw.gov.au, and nt.gov.au!

PS: For people who are unaware, the concept of the TLD is at best a fuzzy one, and is decided by the informally maintained Public Suffix list, which is currently managed by Mozilla. It's not an RFC, it's not a standard, and isn't suitable for certificate validation. See: https://publicsuffix.org/

This is one of the key philosophical differences between Let's Encrypt and GoDaddy. When issuing automated, free certificates, manual labour for validation is not a viable approach and hence Let's Encrypt eliminated all such sources of informal, error-prone, manually verified sources. GoDaddy hasn't changed their validation approach in decades, because for $70/year, this kind of inefficiency is acceptable.

To put things in perspective: GoDaddy has a support phone number. For certificates! They're literally 1KB files with two numbers and some text in them. Why do they need support!?
