I can sympathize with WFH with kids being challenging and even needing a change in norms if it continues, but I'm not sure how it quite applies to single parents in this context. If the single parent is working in an office, then they would need to figure out daycare for their children. If they WFH, they could still use the same daycare, or even save the money of daycare if they take on the burden of taking care of the children at home while working.

Unless there was an underlying assumption that the office provided daycare that I missed. Or if this was more toward remote learning than remote work.

Also, If the child is old enough to care for themselves at home, I don't see the issue of being in or out of office.
I think you misread- Sergey has lots of personality and motivational skill (he's a brilliant natural leader with an amazing sense of humor). The main problem with Sergey (told to me by several SVPs) is that he's so smart (but not wise) , 10 minutes into your well-prepared presentation he'll ask "well, why didn't you do it this other way? It's faster and simpler?". This will cause your presentation to halt, you have to waste a bunch of time epxlaning why that is a cool academic idea that won't actually work in the real world, and then everybody on the team is amotivated.

Your fifth startup will be successful. First four will not. So, save money on first four startups for the fifth one, e.g. commit 10k for a first startup and try to make it profitable first (you will fail with probability of 99.9%), then commit 20k for a second one, and so on. Don't leave your job until a fourth startup at least.
Most of the web works fine with a fast link _to_ your home, so that's what Comcast et al have optimized for. I had to upgrade during Covid to get a decent upload rate. Speedtest says I now have 238Mbps down/12Mbps up. For comparison my office has 100Mbps up and down and has never felt slow for downloads.
InfoSec-Fortress
I did my undergrad at a top 10 university in the US. At the time (around 2015), most students fell into either "come from extremely rich families" or "very poor students on full financial aid". This bifurcation has only increased since I graduated.

One thing I have absolutely hated, especially since entering the tech industry, is how many of my friends who came from poorer backgrounds were misled by academia into pursuing things like "education for its own sake" or "studying what you love", and subsequently missed out on opportunities to study something that could have changed the socio-economic trajectory of their lives.

It can be hard, at these universities, to see who has invisible safety nets. You might decide to major in education because, well, it changed your life! You look around and, wow, so many other cool people are also majoring in education, it must be okay. What you don't realize, though, is that half of those kids plan to go into consulting or finance or whatnot via their parents connections.

I do value learning for its own sake and I don't think the liberal arts should solely be the privilege of the rich! But for a lot of kids from poorer backgrounds who make it into good schools, pursuing a more vocational major is the best chance of making enough money to go on to change their circumstances in life. This is sadly a fact of reality, and those who deny it (such as the professors encouraging these kids to jump into history PhDs) are taking away people's chances at upwards mobility.
This is awesome, and I'm a bit surprised at the lack of more "dynamic" painting software in general (i.e where the paint keeps changing over time, affected by gravity, etc). I've made my own attempt at this[1] although my actual simulation code is quite primitive.

Would something like this work for single-page applications? Given that most applications today are built entirely through the DOM, would regex matching on embedded scripts be that useful?

How is the US dollar a Ponzi scheme? I have no incentive to get other people to use the dollar.
This exactly mirrors my experience.

I won't pretend to know what your motivation/intention is besides finding amusement in people trying to get out your opinions. I do have a couple questions, out of curiosity:

> Besides, it's a bad euphemism because webcam models don't create content, they create emotions. They are entertainers.

In that sense, is an erotic/pornographic video any different from a (non-erotic/pornographic) movie or photograph or song/recording?

Also, to be clear, you do consider "entertainer" a non-euphemistic / less-euphemistic term (not that euphemisms are inherently bad) for a camgirl?
I noticed that too, but I don't think it really matters.

I find it pretty useful to use the `--patch` or `-p` option (also a mnemonic for "prompt") to various commands:

`git add -p`: prompt which hunks should be added to staging

`git checkout -p`: prompt which unstaged hunks should be thrown away

`git checkout HEAD^ -p`: prompt which hunks from HEAD should be discarded

`git reset -p`: prompt which currently-staged hunks should be unstaged

`git reset HEAD^ -p`: prompt which hunks from the HEAD commit should be unstaged

Nice thing is that you get interactive yes/no prompts with a preview of the change for each hunk, and you can also quit early if you realize it's not the command you want.

Doesn't fully address the potential for lost changes, but slows it down by adding an interactive roadblock for each change.
We should respect honesty more. At least then we can talk about the real issues, like maybe finding relationships in a non-work context.

We can call this person selfish and attend to the root malice only because they were honest. If they just contrived a reason to further their goal state, then they are being both duplicitous and selfish, which seems to be something we should respect less?

While true this is rather important in the finance world. Firstly, that one of the 12 regional reserves would call it thus, is something.

If Kashkari is branding it thus, it means there's something to watch here.

I've actually worked on git internals and I'm in the same boat.

As part of a security-related project some years ago, my team and I hacked jgit to use SHA256, which required changing the length of pretty much every on-disk data structure. Sadly, there was (probably still is) no HASH_LEN constant, just a lot of magic offsets strewn throughout the code. I had to compare lengths against the git spec at every step.

And yet I still scramble for stackoverflow every time something goes slightly amiss.

> Sure, you can take the position that it's managements responsibility to figure this out and fire you but understand that this type of thing is why many companies are against remote, especially with how vehemently most developers reject any form of tracking.

The position to take that leads not just to a successful wfh environment, but a great work environment in general is to not worry about “slacking off”. People are either producing results, or not. Especially in software development, developers will have spurts of great productivity and plenty of downtime. Trust, freedom and positive motivation are the keys to success.

You quoted part of that without comment on something I think is crucial:

"My kids are driving me crazy."

I've seen that in practice. Long ago I watched a manager of mine on a lengthy call with his wife discussing the absolute chaos going on at home with the kids, the school, etc. When he hung up he said the most sincere thing I ever heard from him; "Thank God for work."

And he had a wife at home to referee it all. If one then asks what might the conditions of a household be where she works as well... Yeah. That explains a lot.

That is not hubris. That is a statement of fact: that Ponzi scheme is backed by the military, industrial and economic power of nations.

I really don’t see how the nation isn’t a Ponzi scheme.

We keep buying in with our time and being told there isn’t enough to go around when it comes to affording a life.

I know the historical context for a Ponzi scheme is financial, but yesterdays definitions need not be our own.
Ethereum and smart contracts blockchain in general have real potential and utility imo. The use cases are still niche, but it's not a ponzi/MLM, not even close.

Commits are immutable, itś incredibly hard to destroy data that has been committed. Even if they become loose objects, Git is very conservative when it comes to deleted that. If you have uncommitted data, git will refuse to do lots of operations. The default is always to not delete changes, even if resetting a branch.

Contrast that with TFVC which tries its best to nuke everything within it's reach (that is not under version control) in inexplicably stupid ways.

tf reconcile . -r -clean

This command is equivalent to

git reset --hard origin/head && git clean -fdx

Because that's sensible.

tf reconcile . -r -i clean

One might think -i is a short flag for -ignore. No. It's short for -preview. That's a "feature". Good luck finding the documentation for this idiotic behavior.

How about if you pipe a list of files into tf reconcile, to avoid it's idiotic behavior? Say

git ls-tree HEAD -z | xargs -0 tf reconcile -r -clean

You better hope that ls-tree outputs something, otherwise that is the same as calling

rm -rf .

I can't say I recognize your experience. You only risk creating a mess of changes to the point where it's hard to recover due to the share amount data it hasn't deleted.
Not mentioning "of Minneapolis" in the title makes this seem like a much bigger deal.

You’re right on just about everything, especially the external pressures that come with a fancy office.

After 10 years of writing software, I’ve realized that being in an office is the opposite of productive when it comes to coding. The office is where your more career driven peers climb the hierarchy through soft skills, currying favors with each meeting and business lunch.

This might sound a little like a brag but I was pretty good at playing that game. Doing it remotely is a bit harder, but it’s possible if you’re especially power hungry. Honestly though, it was stressful and not even all that fulfilling after rising up to engineering manager.

Just getting to write code without bad managers who negatively affect my mood is all I’ve ever wanted, and I think there’s a lot of folks on this site that feel the same way.
So this is just weaponized clickbait I guess?

This is great news. I’ve long thought that high school students would be better served if they substituted statistics and finance for pre-calculus and calculus. Most people gain very little utility from Calculus, but a better understanding of Finance and Statistics, especially interest rates, amortization, time value of money, and probabilities.
Is the attack on all non-state currency-like instruments is they "require" new "investors" to prop-up the value? Isn't it the case that many speculators are attempting to monetize while it is ultimately a meaningful, useful currency-like instrument created accidentally? Even if it was created as a joke, it's still useful if it can be transactionalized for commerce.

It's similar but more guns are involved.

As David Graeber wrote in “Debt,” “Nixon floated the dollar in order to pay for the cost of a war in which he ordered more than four million tons of explosives and incendiaries dropped on cities and villages across Indochina… the debt crisis was a direct result of the need to pay for the bombs, or, to be more precise, the vast military infrastructure needed to deliver them. This was what was causing such an enormous strain on U.S. gold reserves.”

For the first time in history, the world was in a pure fiat standard. The dollars held by central banks across the globe lost their backing, and there was a geopolitical moment where U.S. dominance was called into question and where a multipolar financial world was a distinct possibility. Adding even more pressure, in 1973 the Arab petroleum exporters of OPEC decided to quadruple the price of world oil and embargo the U.S. in response to its support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. In just a few years, a barrel of oil rose from less than $2 to nearly $12. Faced with double-digit inflation and declining global faith in the dollar, Nixon and his Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger came up with an idea that would allow them to keep “guns and butter” going in the post-gold standard era and alter the fate of the world.

In 1974, they sent new Treasury Secretary William Simon to Saudi Arabia “to find a way to persuade a hostile kingdom to finance America’s widening deficit with its newfound petrodollar wealth.” Simply put, a petrodollar is a U.S. dollar paid to a petroleum exporter in exchange for oil. As a Bloomberg report says, the basic framework was “strikingly simple.” The U.S. would “buy oil from Saudi Arabia and provide the kingdom military aid and equipment. In return, the Saudis would plow billions of their petrodollar revenue back into Treasuries and finance America’s spending.” This was the moment that the U.S. dollar was officially married to oil.

What would be an example of a smart contract that provides value compared to simpler/cheaper centralized solutions?
> The US dollar loses value over time on purpose.

Sure it does that on purpose.

But a purpose as desired by one entity is not necessarily a good purpose for another.

Is it a good purpose for the US government's need of financing their country? Yes.

Good for people who want to save money? No.
Yeah, what the chairman said about monopolyis indeed not quite it.

A monopoly in creating something isn't even enough to guarantee (or even make it more likely) something will have enduring value. bitcoins indeed have capped production, which kind of serves like a monopoly on producing it (or perhaps even better, it's supply is completely predictable). But as long as the only reason it's trading so high is because everyone is hoping to sell it to someone who will buy it even higher -- that's not why people acquire dollars, and I can see the ponzi scheme analogy.

Ultimately, I'd say the reason the dollar has value is because the US Government charges taxes denominated in dollars, and accepts only dollars in payment of them.
I have to ask, how realistic has it been to do such things in most places over the last year? I mean WFH or not, most places, governments have not allowed people to do any of those things for the better part of a year.

Good argument for doubling down on "vision only" approach. Clean dataset can be generated semi-autonomously, An object's velocity and trajectory can be inferred more reliably than noisy radar. And once video frame predictor sees more edge cases from the field. It gets really good at accounting for events like occlusion from puddle spray, dust clouds, etc.

The other neat thing: with the A100 nodes, an exascale GPU cluster can be ready for computing very quickly ;)
