We’re talking about newsletters that only add people who sign up after a double opt in. We still have to manage this user behaviour.

Proactive pruning is the best tool that exists now. So we’ll have to figure out something new. One likely result is more paid newsletters and more moves to centralized platforms like substack which can deal with this.

We got home office laws, where the employer has to give you stuff to do you work from home.

And we got mobile work laws, where things are more flexible, and people are allowed to work in office if they wish, but can work from anywhere they like. This way the employer doesn't have to put effort into a potential home working environment.

When we were remote, my staff was nowhere near 8 hours a day. Our schedules are very dependent on our students (higher education) and their needs. Sometimes they would work 2 hours a day, sometimes 10. It was literally just like in the office, except they were free to do whatever they needed to do during their down time.

Old administration thought that wasn't good, because people were screwing around during the 8-5. I tried to explain that yes, that happened, but

a) that already happens in the office;

b) they're also working at night, on the weekends, and whenever the hell I need them to, and not complaining about it, or even being bothered by it

c) they're happier and MUCH more effective for the students.

No go.

Part of his (reported) reasoning is really strange: because Bitcoin is doomed to crash, we have to take action, so the Netherlands should ban it. Causing it to crash earlier rather than later.

He also says that he isn't afraid that banning Bitcoin will fail, because a ban would lead to a crash.

Ehhh I’m skeptical about juniors needing face to face. Those juniors might just not be cut out for the field.

Generally there’s nothing in-person provides them that proper management in general does not. You’d both be looking at code anyway, on a screen, so pair programming is the same no matter the distance.

And there’s also the fact that experienced hires tend to not want to always baby juniors anyway. They need to learn how to read documentation and spend time on writing code. That’s mostly it for the first few years.

Anecdotal: Around the time that I started my day job, I experienced light depressions during winters. For me it was just a winter-dip. I didn't think much of it but my then girlfriend (now wife) recognised that we got into fights much more often than during summers. She studied something along the lines of "Biology, Food and Health", and she thought I'd have a minor Vitamin D deficiency. I've started taking 75mg every day and after about 3 weeks I started seeing more vividly. I remember very well that when I walked out of the office during winter, even though it was near dark, I saw all colors much more bright and it was like a sort of pressure on my sight was gone.

Now, when I'm not in the sun during the day for at least 30-60 minutes (for maintenance in the garden, or working for clients during WFH in the garden), I take on avg 50mg (2000IU) every day and I've never had a dip anymore.

> My guess for "how to make sure all people are out": typically in such industrial, high security facilities, each people going in would have to badge at each door, i.e. no holding the door for a group of people. Combined with many locked doors, this allows you to know exactly who is in which part of the building.

Holding doors was always a problem, but I guess that nowadays badges can have RFID or some other kind of wireless tracking so even if you hold the door, people in the control room can always know how many people are in each room, all the time. It's like 6 years now since the last time I was in a datacenter...

When people speak of "power" in a programming language, they generally mean expressive power. It's true that all (Turing-complete) programming languages can theoretically encode the same programs - but they do not all take the same time to implement. Lisp is more powerful than C; C is more powerful than x86 assembly; x86 assembly is more powerful than Brainfuck.

It's reasonable to ask if a given approach to language design results in more "power". It's not just a question of taste.

You're being downvoted but, as someone effectively if not officially full-time remote, I agree with you. There are almost certainly far more opportunities for someone who can come into an office even if just for a day or two a week, a few days every other week, etc. than there are for people living in the mountains someplace who can fly to a week-long team meeting every quarter.

The latter opportunities exist too. That's effectively the situation with my very distributed team although I could drive into an office (where the vast bulk of them are not located). But there are probably far fewer of them.

That's the thing: in Amsterdam. Who are those people that are responsible for half of all trips and where are they headed with their cars?

> I've had a similar experience at university while using Haskell. It's a very elegant lazy pure functional language, but it's glacially slow. The natural, low-friction path is very inefficient. The efficient path is unidiomatic and verbose.

Well, if you run a Haskell program on a "C-Machine" of course a comparable program in a "C-Language" will be faster — as it don't need to bridge any gap in execution semantics.

The point is: Mostly all modern computers are "C-Machines". Modern CPUs go even a long way to simulate a "PDP-7 like computer" to the outside world, even they're working internally quite different. (The most effective optimizations like cache hierarchies, pipelineing, out-of-order execution, JIT compilation to native instructions [CPU internal "micro-ops"], and some more magic are "hidden away"; they're "transparent" to programmers and actually often not even accessible by them). So not only there's nothing than "C-Machines", those "C-Machines" are even highly optimized to most efficiently execute "C-Languages", but nothing else! If you want to feed in something that's not a "C-Language" you have to first translate it to one. That transformation will almost always make your program less efficient than writing it (by hand) in a "C-Language" directly. That's obvious.

On the other hand running Haskell on a "Haskell-Machine"¹ is actually quite efficient. (I think depending on the problem to solve it even outperforms a "C-Machine" by some factor; don't remember the details, would need to look through the papers to be sure…). On such a machine an idiomatic C or Rust program would be "glacially slow", of course, for the same reason as the other way around: The need to adapt execution semantics before such "no-native" programs could be run will obviously make the "translated" programs much slower compared to programs build in languages much closer to the execution semantics provided by the machines hardware implemented evaluator.

That said, I understand why we can't have dedicated hardware evaluators for all kind of (significantly different) languages. Developing and optimizing hardware is just to expensive and takes to much time. At least if you'd like to compete on the status quo.

But I could imagine for the future some kind of high level "meta language" targeting FPGAs which could be compiled down to efficient hardware-based evaluators for programs written in it. Maybe this could even end the predominance of "C-Languages" when it comes to efficient software? Actually the inherently serial command-stream semantics of "C-Languages" aren't well fitted to the parallel data-flow hardware architectures we're using at the core now since some time (where we even do a lot of gymnastics to hide the true nature of the metal by "emulating a PDP-7" to the outside world — as that's what "C-Languages" are build for and expect as their runtime).

To add to the topic of the submission: Are there any HW implementations of APLs? Maybe on GPUs? (As this seems a good fit for array processing languages).

The fundamental difference is that vue and react uses a virtual DOM, which alpine does not.

This is important when you consider why alpine exists - IIRC, it was created with LiveWire in mind. In LiveWire, the changes to state run through websockets to the server rather than being held in JS. In this situation you can't use vue or react, because v-dom frameworks need exclusive control over the physical dom.
