Oh absolutely. The collapse in the market for office real-estate would have to get particularly bad for the owners of those properties go for that option. The owners of these properties are in the business to make money. If nobody wants their property for offices anymore, they will have to find some new use for their property that they can profit from. The condos/studios/lofts/whatever resulting from a conversion would indeed need to command high rates to make such a conversion worth it. Like I said, the housing created by such an option would be an expensive luxury probably only affordable by the upper-middle and upper classes.

However, given the (IMO probable) positive effects for less-than-rich, I would not protest such an outcome.
Electric windows and power steering are unlikely to be tracking your location.
That's already a problem in the office culture. I may be able to tell if you are diligent, but I can't tell if you are productive. And as a manager, I would rather have three hours of effective work than 8 hours of ineffective work.

That means you have 5 more hours for meetings.
I’ve heard this too, from anti-vaxxers mostly. VAERS is the medical equivalent of Yelp. Anyone can post anything there and looking at the unverified data is not a reliable indication of anything. And, anti-vaxxers have been known to go report things in order to bolster their arguments.
No; the individual with high aptitudes for memorisation, categorisation and pattern-matching would become the local healing expert, likely apprenticed to whoever was best at it before. Everyone else would focus primarily on the predatory and environmental dangers, plus their own specialisms (and, you know, everything else).

Remember: we live in a society. So did our ancestors. Intelligence is a pretty general skill; all sorts of different selection pressures push it up, not least of all interpersonal politics; in a band of well-to-do humans who have elders, long-term survival is probably common enough that the dating scene has a higher impact on reproductive fitness than raw survival skill.
I used to think this. But, I've learned that it assumes a bunch of things that aren't really true at many, many companies:

- Clear goals that the team is bought into

- Productive people who can sustain emotional enthusiasm for extended time periods

- An environment where intrinsically motivated people can thrive, and/or incentives for extrinsically motivated people

- A healthy feedback loop so people know when they're improving and are rewarded for it

- etc

Looked at this way, a team of 5 people working 20 hours per week in this type of company can vastly outperform a team of people working 40 hours per week at a company that lacks the above items. (And I'm probably missing some)
Does this work with systems outside of the Microsoft/Google ecosystem (i.e. not github, not g suite/gcal)?

I'm interested, but it's unlikely that I'm going to be building teams on either of these platforms in the future, considering how easy these are to host internally now.

Not really. Usually password reset tokens are only valid for 10 or 15 minutes. With some basic rate limiting, you can stop a single actor from accessing more than one of those links in 15 minutes.

And even if they work around that, you just ask the user to verify their email address when they click on the link. Being able to enumerate the reset tokens and guess the right email address at the same time is highly unlikely.
It's not so much about helping the situation as it is identifying whether or not the bank is actively monitoring and mitigating money laundering (which this situation would technically fall under as the mule is laundering the money through the bank). If they are failing to identify and report these then it could face regulatory action.
I think a lot of this is subjective and context dependent so the definitive “this is good” and “this is bad” language was a bit of a turnoff.

BUT, I did like seeing someone’s point of view with thoughtful explanations and examples, kind of like what you get out of a good discussion at an elixir meetup or something :D I enjoyed reading it.
Sadly we do, they're just called drones and they are used to kill people. (Sorry, don't mean to be so dystopian)

As a data oriented person I would prefer if the percentage is always available, otherwise I have to calculate it to use with other numbers.

For example: (chance of getting covid) * (chance of specific side effect) = chance of getting covid and experiencing side effect.

I lived in an ancient finance building that was converted to residential in the 80s. All the layouts were bizarre, twisting around to give every unit the barest slice of window. The bike storage in the basement was a vault with a 24" thick door that was just left there because it would have been impossible to move.

Converting a modern building would be very expensive. Converting a hotel on the other hand -- perfect. They already have plumbing and fire separation. An open plan office is just a shell.
A child could hurt themselves on any piece of furniture simply by falling off of it. 'Think of the children' is not a compelling reason to not build a simple bench.
Many of those dry areas could not sustain a larger population of cattle/goats/etc. They are already having trouble with the current population. In most cases, cattle need additional water to survive in the drier areas.

> If you do it to dogs then you'll do it to humans.

How did you come to that conclusion?

I used to have a couple dogs and now I have children. I walked the dogs on leashes and made them poop outside. I've never done either of those things with my children, or any human.

No iirc the air back then had way more oxygen and way more carbon dioxide which allowed for a warmer climate and the animals/plants to grow larger. Same with the ancient giant insects, their bodies would not allow them to survive today on such little oxygen which is why insects are all tiny today.
These aren't the better sources I was looking for.
I push back on that and comp the time. I wish there was better regulation around comp time.
The way to get engineers to adopt it is to demonstrate how it can be useful for them. Engineering quality of life can be derived from a lot of these metrics.

Take for example, XKCD 303: https://xkcd.com/303/. Engineers spend so much time waiting on compile, build, and deployment time. It is such a waste of time and resources. These are things that engineers tend to absorb resulting in engineers getting blamed for low velocity.

The other area is on call metrics. Healthy oncall metrics significantly increases engineering QOL.
> Never in a million years am I going to pay a subscription to use my own vehicle.

People pay a subscription (data, if not apps) to use their phone. Most people pay at least one subscription in association with the TV they own. I'm wondering if part of this may be the "shock of the new" talking.
I was recently having the opposite discussion re residential real estate: where I live, there are artifical limits on how rent can be raised, even between tenants. Whatever one's opinion of that policy, it limits the upside of a landlord, but they keep their exposure to the downside.

I'd be curious to know if there are any common restrictions on commercial real estate that limit the upside in the name of some public interest, same as rent control. If this is the case, there may be more of a case for limiting the downside too.

Overall, I do agree with you, and what seems to be the common sentiment here, that investments are risky and the risk should be borne by the investor. But it becomes less clear when the investor is made to pay for some other policies out of their upside.
What do you mean? It seems like that commenter is just crudely implying that you are an agent of the CCP. I think their comment is unhelpful but it’s not clear what you mean by ‘case in point’.

I think it works less well on Twitter because of the constrained length of the replies. With, say, a few paragraphs, you can explain yourself well enough to garner sympathy. One lone sentence is just something else to dunk on.
I agree with you here but I get to a happy conclusion. The (self- or culturally imposed) constraint on computation to be semantically meaningful for humans does not apply for genomes. But this is already useful, because it means we at least have a hint about where to dig more in programming.

There is Theory of Computation and there is Theory of Programming. Your arguments apply to TOP but not to TOC.

No you’re not crazy at all; my preference for a vehicle would be analog everything with as few electronic components as possible. Even if it were an EV.
How important is the touchpad part? The Logitech K400 is pretty good.

I would encourage you to look at the 'airmouse' category of products, though. I have the Wechip one and it works pretty well and detects as a standard mouse/keyboard. It has a mini keyboard on one side and a D-pad on the other, with a wii-mote like function for moving the cursor.
I came out of that Dave Thomas classes with a lot more good habits than bad. I don't follow everything he does, but the vast majority of it made a lot of sense to me and results in much cleaner code.
Yeah the contrast is amazing. All but maybe one dog in my neighborhood are happy to hang out in the front yard and they're cool with anyone who comes by.

Most don't even need a leash, they're content to just hang out, play, and socialize if someone shows interest.

Other neighborhood, it's dog chaos.
And yet there aren't many people building ICE cars from kits. Why not?

Quite frankly, speaking as someone who is a bit of an automotive enthusiast, you'll probably find even less EVs, because EVs are sterile and boring. They can definitely be fast, but I suspect the average auto enthusiast is not only interested in speed. The sounds and smells of an ICE are far more appealing to the type of people who tend to build custom cars.

My work brings me into contact with many high net worth individuals in Manhattan. They all take cars most of the time. It is faster than the subway, usually, and even when it isn't you can get more done in the car. Even in the U.S.' most dense area driving is usually faster, and it is certainly more pleasant/productive.

Edit: I'll note that many of them will take the subway during rush hour if both ends of the trip are within a couple of blocks of the subway. However, if there is a transfer they won't, the subway becomes time inefficient very quickly if you have to walk far from it or wait for multiple trains.

> The assumption of nature over nurture has been continually used to justify unequal treatment. If you do it to dogs then you'll do it to humans.

I mean, okay.
I don't get it either.

Rural VA/WV vs suburban VA is night and day. The former has ill-tempered dogs roaming at large - rare is a weekend I go cycling out there and don't get chased by at least one dog (and of those, 1/10 are willing to bite). Locally, the dogs are on leashes and generally more socialized.

And suburban VA compared with anywhere in Scotland is again night and day. Dogs everywhere in Scotland, mostly off-leash in open areas (on leash in where appropriate), but almost always well-behaved. At least when I've visited family (Edinburgh, various towns in Perthshire, plus some time vacationing in the Highlands). Totally different culture with dogs - allowed in pubs, people don't freak if the dog is off-leash like they do here, etc.
This has happened to me twice recently with United and JetBlue, on regular-sized planes. I think I recall a recent FAA advisory for the airlines to start doing that.
That used to bother me with Rust as well, but frankly nowadays it's really hard to argue against it. Even in the embedded world you typically have enough flash these days that you're not counting a couple MBs, and as far as RAM is concerned you'd only save some memory if several binaries run simultaneously while linking to the same shared libs.

And even then it's not a sure win, because LTO can remove a lot of useless code from dependencies, so if you only use a small part of a dependency you might still be better off with static linking regardless of other factors.

It's pretty hard to justify the complexity and overhead of dynamic linking nowadays, IMO.
Agreed. I think the intent of the previous commenters was more along the lines of "How do we determine which employees are working earnestly and effectively vs working without motivation or ineffectively?"

Its important to take time out of the question, because time spent, after a very small minimum, isn't a strong indicator of performance.
A lot of a great advice! but I'd like to shave some yak on my lunch so I'll comment on what I disagree with :)

I sort of disagree with Access vs Matching vs Map; if I change my data structure I'm changing the contract I've established. I want things to break in that case, and I want them to break as fast as possible. This seems like great advice for a controller action, not so much for a gen_server or anywhere I'm NOT dealing with user input.

And... I completely disagree with "Raise exceptions if you receive invalid data." If you receive invalid data return an error saying that... please for the love of someone's god, do not raise an exception. You have no idea what the concerns of the caller are, so just return an error tuple.

> This allows us to crash the process (which is good) and removes the useless error handling logic from the function.

No, the exception returned will likely have no meaning to the client and will more than likely confuse them or your. You will still have to write error handling logic. You still have to format the error. You still have to log or report the error... Now you are doing it in multiple places because you're raising and likely still having to handle data validation issues. The best of both worlds, IMHO, is returning an `{:error, exception}` tuple.

Edit: Forgot the "NOT" in the end of the second paragraph.
infection is a spectrum, sure, but the public usage of the word "asymptomatic" does not include cardiovascular side effects, that can show up some weeks/months later.

we are observing "asymptomatic" infections followed by cardiovascular problems for some. is it really asymptomatic in those cases?
I doubt they implemented rate limiting though.
What are the specifics? What kind of devices do you have to support, what kind of network? What kind of media?

If Netflix is too hard, then my goto Plex, wouldn't be much easier. Before they added all their cruft, it was by far the easiest solution, things just worked.

How do they fair using iTunes? Apples stuff integrates really well together. You could get them an iPod Touch and let them control it all from that.

Lowest rung for just music would be load all the media onto a drive and use Winamp. But that is assuming just a computer playing music.
Yeah, I disagreed with a decent amount, but I tried to read it as “here are the patterns and practices I feel passionate about” and that made it an interesting read for me.

The sort of declarative good/bad language worries me a bit because people new to the language may take it as gospel, but overall I’m glad to see people putting their thoughts out there with explanations and examples :)
> Are there any approaches to throw your library behind authed CDN or aws s3 with a frontend ios/android/desktop app to get rid of those fancy subscription models?!

That doesn’t seem like a strong value proposition.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Also, some states (e.g. NY) may have a higher percentage of mail delivered to "mail hives" than other states (e.g. Ohio). I would think that delivering to a mailbox on the house-owner's property is a lot higher risk for dogbite than delivering to an apartment-renter's mail slot. Does that account for why Ohio is as high as NY? Maybe, but it's hard to say from this data.

iPads are famously not a commodity. They are a branded good.

And just to be clear, people still eat squab all the time. The fact that it’s a different species of pigeon likely has 0 impact on consumer welfare.

Is your point that resources are finite? I agree. And I also agree that fact is a major forward looking risk that could drive inflation, but if your argument is that there are numerous desirable things from the 17th Century that we do not have access to, then I’d have to disagree. Human innovation has just been too rapid over that period.
> It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought -- that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc -- should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done ... chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.

I think consent dialogs are one of the closest things to Newspeak that exist. In any spoken language, new words can be coined to express a desired meaning. In consent dialogs, there is no longer "Accept" and "Decline", instead there is "Accept" and "Ask me later". When presented with an upsell, the choices are not "Yes" and "No", but "Yes, sign me up!" and "No, I don't want to save money."
pattern-matching in arguments means that the picking the function according to its signature is the actual decision process? If you have a function that doesn't contain a decision it is easier to unit test, isn't it?

The assumption is that different dog breeds are more aggressive than others, independent of their upbringing. Their behavior is in their nature. This hasn't been born out by science yet is still used to justify policy. People care less when it's done to dogs because people are not dogs and it's easy to just say "sure, that sounds right" without digging any further.

Show a single study that finds that dog breed influences aggression. Just one. You'll find plenty that correlate the two and maybe even some that stop there and ignore the existence of other factors. It's The Bell Curve for dogs.

In your opinion, are the 5s possible without spending time on 2s, 3s and 4s? If one always stops working on a ticket after 5 minutes (scenario 1) and files a ticket "to be closed later" rather than investigating - and getting in trouble depending on how the investigation goes (2, 3) - how does the developer get enough expertise to get the big wins? How does a developer get experience implementing 5s without hitting an occasional 4?
Not totally sure what you’re looking for playback wise. But you can give https://asti.ga/ a try.

Basically, you point it to one or more online storages. It scans and combines all music on there and presents is as a library you can play from via a web browser.

It also exposes this library as a SubSonic library, which makes that library usable in a lot of apps.
I don't get the feeling that people fully appreciate the gravity of 'my team is more productive now that we work at home'. That means your team does not need to be a team. The work is mostly commoditized and completely outsourceable, in whole or in part.
I was thinking the same thing. It should be something like dog bites per 1,000,000 residents or something like that. Then, the rankings would probably change.
As is true of many developers, I am part of a large team working inside an ecosystem of enormous C++ programs. These programs are written in a particular way (heavily templated) and built in a particular way (dynamic linkage, CMake) and it's neither feasible nor wise to change these foundations

Nature abhors a vacuum (c) We are social animals and there is no such thing as "all people are equal" or "flat organization". There is always a structure, only it can be explicit and regulated (and usually more efficient and easy to navigate due to explicit rules), or it can be implicit (aka Wild West).
Came here to say exactly this. I'll add that my media library is very music heavy, and Plex is doing a pretty good job on its music player Plexamp.
>I'm not certain this true

I'm pretty sure it is, because nothing changes the fact that you can ultimately only spend what you earn (even considering credit). A share of that spending goes to advertising.

If someone can spend 10 or 20 times as much as another person after basic food and shelter then that difference trumps all other factors by a very wide margin.

I don't think it matters much, but just for the record: I don't believe rich people comparison shop as much as lower income earners. They buy what they fancy and they throw away what they don't like. I also don't think rich people are much harder to manipulate (but I'm not sure about that). They think much less before tapping that buy button. I know that much.

Thanks for sharing this. The lecture format helps draw out some of the implications of the Alexander's work. For example, "a healthy mind in a healthy body–in a healthy environment", connecting the value of shaping the environment well to human benefit.

He also simplifies an explanation of why algorithmic design vs "all at once" may be preferable: an algorithm offers opportunities for discovery beyond intuition and memory. In other words, trust the process.
