> ... this is just a false dichotomy. People don't have to choose between total dedication to one or the other, and it's quite possible (and practically achievable) to be good at both.

the previous post highlights that there's an issue with the entitlement of coming back at the same or even better job position which is just ludicrous from a business perspective if a colleague of yours has advanced in that same timeframe

>You suggest it's entitlement when people want to have kids while also maintaining their careers, but I think you have it backwards - the real entitlement here is thinking you should be able to profit in a society that is fundamentally dependent on people who choose to raise another generation, while refusing to do so yourself or even acknowledge that what parents do is in general a service to society.

Huh? As a business your only purpose is to make profit, I don't think I understand how the choices of individual employees should affect the overall direction of the corporation.

Historically, women chose/were forced to dedicate themselves to child rearing and now they have the option not to. Same goes with men, nowadays. It's a general service to society yes, but no one is imposing it on you today (in the west at least).

What I think really changed is this perception that because you __chose__ to be a parent __and__ you chose to stay away for x amount of time you should be still considered/thought as been on top of your game as an employee/career wise.

> What do you think society would look like if everybody took your advice? The best minds would never want to reproduce, because they'd lose their careers, and many good minds who did choose to reproduce would be sidelined at great cost to their respective industries.

I disagree, and without going into the "gender norms" discussion, I think an easy solution would be:

a) partners having kids earlier (like back in the days)
b) accepting/understanding that child rearing comes at a cost (especially as a woman) and setting lower expectations (or go back to point a really)
I get weird stares when I'm out somewhere with my daughter and going to restaurant also is very different treatment from when my partner is around. Basic requests are furiously denied vs people smiling...

The buybacks can only be done with real money. This is not an opinion, it's a hard fact since buybacks are done on the open market. Sure, the directors who handle finance could fake profit by taking on debt and using it to buyback the token to drive up the price artificially... But there is no incentive for someone to commit such crime since the buybacks benefit the whole community and not specifically the attacker. Also, the community can see if a director is selling their tokens (since it's all on the blockchain and the director's wallet is known).

A director could potentially do something elaborate like buy a lot of tokens at a low price anonymously, then take a bank loan and use it to pump up the price through fake buybacks then dump for a higher price some years later hoping that they don't get caught by their bank in the meantime for misusing the credit... But then why would they use our blockchain and jeopardize the value of their own large director's stake (from their main wallet) with such scheme? Why not use a random token not affiliated with them and which has lower volume where this scheme would have more effect on price and where the attacker has nothing at stake?

No matter which way you look at it, this is a huge transparency improvement over shares.

I used to view all of my server request logs in one stream with tail, but I didn't like tail's output because it broke it into many lines with "header lines" in between, so I wrote a small PHP script[0] to tail every file separately and output each line with a (shortened) prefix of the filename. Maybe it'll be useful to someone (who has PHP on their system).

If software wasn't copyrightable, then a leak of (say) windows 8 would not "help free software" by allowing to learn or copy from that, but rather that it would instantly create a "free-windows-8" that could get maintained with security patches by the community, and companies could use windows 8 forever for free instead of buying windows 10 or 11 licenses.

If Microsoft truly believes they are in the right, they should publicly (and legally) state that _Microsoft_ (and not he users of copilot) takes on all responsibility for potential future copyright infringement cases against the users of copilot.

Not much different from how influenza also gets some young people in hospitals then? We don´t vaccinate young people against influenza either, because the risk is so low. Let the children build up natural immunity, they´ll benefit from that in the future. Vaccinate people at risk, elderly and sick people. Just like we always do. Changing strategy from what´s already known to work, when the stakes are this high, is very reckless.

> But he praises the new vaccine technology, so he´s not antivaxx.

It's sad how this has to be stated every time one brings up criticism of the current vaccine strategy. For many people there's only two possible stances: "I've already taken the vaccine" and "I'm an anti-vaxxer". I also remember that back when Trump was boasting "We'll have the vaccine soon! It'll be the greatest vaccine. And then we can all go back to normal!" there was a healthy skepticism on the left of promoting nation-wide use of a rushed vaccine, but as soon as Biden took over this disappeared.
The two senior devs I report to routinely:

- Approve one another's PRs (which are either 1 or 2 line things, or 2000 line behemoths. Never in between) without a review, or approve ignoring comments left by others

- Just comment out tests that won't pass because of a change they made, rather than fix it

- Because of the first point, sloppy mistakes and debug stuff (print statements) gets left in the codebase

- Follow poor code health practices, like disabling deprecation warnings instead of updating deprecated code

Whereas most of the mid & junior level devs in the team spend time writing tests, suggest new test cases for one another in PRs, discuss clarity of syntax, try to keep their changes minimal and understandable.

I'm only really sticking around at this point until the pandemic situation has calmed down a bit more, and because I don't want to have too many short experiences on my CV.
You’re absolutely right. The most likely thing to happen is that a clueless middle manager will look at these criteria and ask their reports to justify, point by point how they’re achieving or not achieving the different things listed in these criteria and if they’re not how they can “improve”. It’s a supremely shitty way to chart out ones career growth. It’s going to lead to sooo many copycat “we do our career ladder like Dropbox so we must be just as good” clones.

On the other hand, I’m also somewhat glad that this shit is in published form and not some secondhand version pieced together by ex Dropboxers. I personally liked that it lays out what kind of a developer they expect at different levels.

I guess what I’m saying is that I like this as a guide rather than as a rule.
I would love to replace my OmniFocus setup with pure obsidian, but the one thing I am missing is the “rapid capture” keyboard shortcut, from anywhere on my Mac I just hit some key combo and a little text box appears and I type on a task and boom, it’s saved.

I use this to keep track of things I’ve done, things I need to do and so on (helps with billing also since they’re timestamped).

Anyone come up with something similar for obsidian? I could write a little app that throws a line into “inbox.md” or so I suppose..
"Xenophobic"? "Imperialistic"? What has "xenophobia" or "imperialism" have to do with historically observed practicality of types of scripts?

> you maybe might want to consider the western world has been forcing american/latin standards on cultures which need far more than those to communicate

No, I might not. For starters I'm neither American nor Latin (whatever that you imagine to be). And second, historically, almost every civilization that had a realistic option to do so got rid of ideograms and logograms, because of their sheer impracticality, especially after the invention of movable type. Hieroglyphs went from ideograms and logograms to phonograms (see this very text). Cuneiform went from ideograms and logograms to phonograms (see Ugaritic). Some civilizations like Japanese found themselves in a cul-de-sac because of how a former adoption of a logographic script changed their language (for example with onyomi in case of Japanese) but that doesn't mean that they didn't realize the advantages of phonetic writing and haven't at least tried (onnade in the Heian period, romaji in the Meiji period).

I learned to read when I was three or four years old. In retrospect, there is no way in hell that I would have preferred growing up in a place where you become fully literate (and able to read the kinds of technical texts that I was reading by the age of ten) in your very late adolescence. So for obvious reasons I do not prefer having to re-learn reading ten times as many symbols as I need to just to be able to read some small amount of texts of ephemeral value, or having to find out how to write hundreds of symbols on my QWERTY keyboard that hasn't hampered my communication in any way so far.

> killing some of the more peculiar / original languages because they're "not worth supporting"

"community-driven"

Somehow I have doubts about this part.
It's a leap.
With all of my children I have had 4 months of paid paternity leave from when they were about a year old. I live in Norway so this is covered by our social welfare system.

For me this has been some of the best time of my life becoming much closer with all of my children then I believe I would have otherwise.

Being the primary caregiver for a significant amount of time made us more equal when it came to parenting later on to the point where there are really no difference between who can do what. This have given us more flexibility and reduced stress in every day life and it is easier to let the other one take over if you need a break.

During the pandemic lockdown we alternated who had the children and who where at work.
My experience in 8-bit is you can write 80% in C and then just focus and optimise the bits that need it in assembly. The rule is the same as ever, don't prematurely optimise (i.e. by writing everything in assembly), but the amount that needs optimisation is a bit bigger.

"It is folly to increase your wisdom at the expense of your authority"

- Sir Humphrey Appleby

The problem with so many of these cognitive improvements we can make for ourselves is that they are often cognitively speaking weaknesses. In other words many kinds of wisdom actually reduce our effectiveness. I would always choose knowledge over power but for many people the important thing is to think in the way that rewards them, not in a way that increases their insight.
I don't think there is anything fishy here, although I don't think the NSA can just install anything on my computer, even if I were based in the US. There is a lot of bluffing when it comes to cyber security.

The differences in force are way too miniscule on that scale. If you're looking for a measurable force differential across the extent of your own body, look at gravity instead. When standing up, the gravity at your feet is about 0.5 ppm smaller than at your head (for a body height of 1.75 meters). You don't feel that either; there is just no evolutionary advantage to being able to measure such tiny differences in local gravity, especially since we have acceleration sensors in our ears that are way more efficient at telling up from down.

The coriolis force differential, besides being rather small to begin with, has the additional problem that the coriolis force is proportional to the speed at which you're moving over the earth. If you were to accelerate to a speed where the coriolis force differential might be appreciable (e.g. by sitting in a bullet train or in a plane), it will be completely drowned out by any other momentary forces imparted upon you by the vehicle (trains or planes can move mostly straight, but not in a mathematical-grade straight line).
It depends on the question and the onboarding of the company.

I think the onboarding should make sure there's a list of required reading - books, articles, etc - that the current employees know about, things that influenced how they made the application, what best practices they adopted, etc.

As the person asking the question, always check first if you can google it - the question has to be specific to the application and its authors, not e.g. programming or framework specific questions.

That said, the people answering the questions should make sure to "teach a man to fish", by both answering the question and linking to the relevant resources.

That said, linking to resources and the like is nice, but I also think a lot of people can't be bothered to read - I may be one of those. I will quickly scan something to solve my current problem, but hardly ever sit down to study the materials. One reason is just how quickly technology changes, so it's not worth investing in one technology unless you're actively working with it Right Now. I stopped keeping up with things like Angular, Java and Swift / iOS because I just don't work with those anymore.
The sociology of this is fascinating. For my whole life I've heard that travelling faster than light is not only impossible, but so obviously absurdly impossible that only loons and sci-fi writers bother to think about it at all. Now I'm reading that "There are an infinitude of different approaches" to the problem!

What exactly is the breakthrough that has led to this recent spurt of warp drive papers? As far as I can tell the results are all purely theoretical and just re-arranging equations. None of them appear to rely on any recently lab discovered physics. Why couldn't this have been done in 1950, I wonder?

Only an idiot thinks that 0.2% is low or that a tinfoil hat (which gives exactly zero protection) is equal to the protection the vaccine gives.
Other than not wanting to get the illness yourself, there is another major reason to get the vaccine. The more that people get the illness, then the more likely the virus is to evolve variants. Regardless of how bad or not bad it is now, a future variant could always be much, much worse. And there is just no way to know if or when that might happen.

As many people as possible getting vaxxed is the best way to prevent some future deadly variant. Getting it naturally is and surviving does not help in this regard, because that is where most (all?) of the variants come from to begin with.

> For what it’s worth, I agree with you that this is often corporate malarkey. Typically, the company doesn’t live up to the framework - it’s merely wallpapering for their own biases, which still come through anyway. But I understand why they try, and it sometimes works better than others. Not doing anything would probably be even worse. And all other solutions have their own problems. At enterprise level, there is no universal solution.

I laughed out loud, just like real life Dilbert. I can imagine how these meetings would go. I think we gotta take this bullshit lightly and not get too caught up in its utility (there is none, even though you’re trying and I can empathize). Just act like it’s all great, do work, go home. I presume most people know it’s bullshit but still roll with it. I pity those who don’t. Gotta love enterprise life and it’s depressing if we don’t take it lightly. Office Space reminded us in a hysterical way.
Forgive me for asking a dumb question, and I mean no wrongthought in asking it: if I'm vaccinated, why should I care if others aren't? Does it change anything for my life from here?

This is the mathematicians version of the "How to screw in a light bulb" jokes that were popular during the early ages of the internet.

The article also briefly mentions Bourbaki[0], a pseudonym for a group of French mathematicians that tried to present all of mathematics in a more consistent way. Their work was definitely not a joke.

In general yes. Depending on where you are this can be harder to find.

In San Francisco there is an absolutely amazing vegan japanese restaurant.
https://www.yelp.com/biz/cha-ya-san-francisco-san-francisco-...

I googled for "french vegan food" and found this:
https://veggievagabonds.com/best-traditional-french-vegan-re...

For chinese food I would imagine there is a lot of traditional vegan food. Tofu for example originated in China. For lots of chinese dishes with meat, something like Tempeh or Seitan make great traditional foods that can substitute meat.

I googled "chinese vegan food" and found this:
https://thewoksoflife.com/traditional-chinese-vegan-dishes/

The thing to keep in mind is that veganism is very common in parts of the world where the right crops grow well. So indian food is full of vegan and vegetarian options like dal (lentils).

One of the things you can do is just get to know the traditional plant proteins like lentils, tempeh, seitan, and tofu. Go find some tempeh at the store, unmarinated. Slice it in to long thin fries, and pan fry them in some olive oil. Brown them on all sides, then add salt. Some super tasty fries that will make you want more. Now next time you cook tempeh do the same thing but cut it in to small cubes. You can add that on top of anything in place of meat and it will be very satisfying.

Then learn to cook tofu and seitan. Eventually you will become familiar enough with them to plan dishes with them.

And for me I found that adding peanut sauce is an easy way to make things tastier. So experiment with that!
Same here! This times where great and terrible - I took our boy for walks in his pram for hours for here to catch some sleep.
With two kids this obviously doesn't work anymore.

Sometimes when I returned my wife told me she couldn't sleep cause she missed him. I guess they just where very close. Sometimes I envied that - now that he is bigger we have a lot father- son activities, so that makes up for that.

Men and women are just different parents and I believe kids need both parts or even more. Grandparents and aunts and cousins, friends and teachers. The kids are always happier in a crowd that just with one parent or even both parents. Nowadays everyone threats parenting as a two person job but everyone will agree the saying that it takes a village to raise a child...
Maybe. We'd have to figure out how to build it, and we'd have to rediscover the reasons for all of the seemingly crazy workarounds that were in the code as it currently is. In order to be able to add security patches etc. we'd first need to develop an understanding of the code, which while possible is not trivial. Even in the success stories of an open-source group adopting a previously proprietary codebase (e.g. OpenOffice, Mozilla), it takes a huge amount of work and years or decades to get the codebase to a level where it can attract outside contributors in the way that open-source-from-day-1 projects do. In fact I'm not sure I've ever seen such a project succeed without having a large base of paid contributors and outside funding to start with.
So, I think you're trying to say the risk is low, but non-zero. And getting vaccinated would seem to lower this further. Making it more valuable than a tin foil hat?
I think another Important lesson - besides the "be curious" advice given by this article - is that you should never trust the author. The last time I was involved in code reviews, years ago, I felt like most of my PRs were approved after a quick scan simply because I wrote the code and they trusted me. Bad idea.

If I ever go to an environment like that again, I wonder if there's a way to make code reviews (both reviewers and reviewees) anonymous, to prevent bias like that.
Variants develop primarily in unvaccinated people. Your vaccine may not be effective against future variants.
> A bit of a stretch to classify this under right to repair.. if you rent a car from tesla, it’s going to be up to tesla to choose how it’s repaired.

So you're cool with Tesla choosing to repair it for 30k? For 100k? Where does this stop?

> And it doesn’t seem unreasonable that they won’t accept a hack fix (however safe it may be) - that car is going to be sold to someone once the lease expires, they just can’t take the risk

What do you mean by "however safe it can be"? If it's as safe as Tesla's other repair method, then there is no increase in risk.
