Some people aren't comfortable talking to people. But if you have to talk to people for your job then you have to be uncomfortable. If you don't have a car and you need it for work, then you are going to have to figure something out. If you don't have a nice workspace then you are going to have to figure something out.

If you, and the rest of the team, turn on your cameras most of the time then it's fine if you have to turn it off some of the time. Because sure there's reasons to turn it off. But if you default to off then everyone knows you aren't turning it off because of some good reason. You can tell yourself otherwise, BUT PEOPLE KNOW YOU AREN'T ENGAGED.

I've encountered a few cases where someone who consistently kept their video off was highly engaged, but it's very uncommon. You should assume other people have noticed this as well, and know that you have something to prove if you do that.
haha. as far as new car tech goes Toyota is okay on adoption. You should see the tech from the past that VW has in its cars.
“But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Get out as early as you can,

I'm pretty sure the blog's author was referring to non-management people who want to give the false impression that they are actively involved and helping to resolve the issue.

Edit: it's a waste to send Teams video traffic via VPN and it probably goes to a Microsoft cloud server anyways. The VPN should block this traffic, and the worker's PCs should be configured to not attempt to route it via the VPN.

Generally, there are ultimately 2 options:

1. If it's really addiction — then any addiction is a symptom. No much value fighting it if root causes are not addressed.

Find what are you running from, what are you hiding from, what is it that you scared about etc. Good therapist can help.

2. Else — you just trying to escape the ultimate act of "just stopping it" by fooling yourself and trying to hide behind some fancy technique or smart advice.

Or even worse — you're trying to find excuse to continue doing it.

This never works — in the end you'll have to make the final act and just stop it, and it's 100% on you to do. No other way. So don't waste your time and start with final step — just stop it, turn off all notifications, delete all apps etc.
From https://magazine.atavist.com/a-thousand-pounds-of-dynamite/:

> Fourth, inside the top box Big John rigged a float from a toilet cistern. If the box was flooded with water or foam, the float would rise, completing a circuit.

The "accelerometer" was another device:

> Fifth, beside the float was a tilt mechanism built from a length of PVC pipe lined with more aluminum foil; inside hung a metal pendulum held under tension from below with a rubber band. [...] Once this was armed, if the bomb was moved in any way, the end of the pendulum would make contact with the foil, completing a circuit.
I would argue that it's a bit different in RTS games because there are different unit types you can bring into a single battle.

In StarCraft 2 if your opponent builds one unit there's another unit that hard counters it but you rarely bring just one kind of unit into battle last the very early game. Early zerglings are countered by marines are countered by hellions are countered by roaches are countered by marauders are countered by flying mutalisks are countered by marines again...etc etc.

If you bring marines and marauders and some hellons with healing medivacs it becomes about numbers and engagement positions. Sometimes you have no chance of winning but you have a chance of getting an economical trade that will put you in a better position in the future - without the trade the next fight your opponent might have too many units for you to win.

I guess it depends on what game you're playing but in RTS there's the fight you're in, the economy, production,upgrades, as well as the overall balance of the current game that all can change the way the game is going.
Why do so many people like you crop up in any porn-related thread? You instantly assume anyone questioning the accessibility of pornography are on a religious tirade to abolish it and send us back to the days of the Puritans. Just because there's not some peer-reviewed studies saying "porn bad" doesn't mean it hasn't had negative effects on society.

Hydrogen for cars was an obvious boondoggle for a decade or more. There's making guesses and then there's ignoring obvious trends. Toyota did the latter.

toyota has the best reputation in the entire industry, runs their business tight, and has no real pathway to life support unless they repeatedly failed on every single major initiative, which seems unlikely.

I just bought a RAV4 Prime, it's a plugin hybrid. It looks like they are rolling out HV to their most popular models over the next few years. That gives them everything they need to make EV, HV, or gas vehicles for the forseeable future.

Comments here are really focusing on blaming migrants for this but not the extreme inequality migrants and the hosts have between them.

Also, going and doing petty wars around the world has consequences.

Here let me get one more going: after trump left the JCPOA, Europe basically did nothing about it. Now there's a revolution going on in Iran. Where do you think a big portion of that population is going to escape to?

Europe, your actions have consequences. You're a good portion of the reason for migrants having to migrate from their countries. You're also still part of the reason why there's so much of a wealth difference between you and the average migrant.

And then it's again an issue where you keep passing laws fucking over migrants. Can't have hijab during work now? Really? Is this the important thing to spend your time on?

These are all going to create instability. Until you start ACTUALLY treating humans as humans, you're going to be subject to shit like this.

One behavior that I desperately wish had been called out: individuals who, seeing a back-and-forth over Slack, fail to realize that the communication is effective, and post a single message containing a Zoom link. In spite of this sounding like a pointy-haired boss type behavior, I've seen all sorts of engineers do it.

The intent is obvious: stop everything else that you are doing and join, so that it's the only thing that you are doing.
what the... left-pad!?!?
what does “being wrong” even mean. Everyone has an opinion and everyone has their own interests (including people in the gov).
Assuming they are “wrong”, why would they suck it up? Why would anyone do something that goes directly against their self-interest?
Try Microsoft ads, they aren’t backstopped by Google in any way.

Regardless of ownership, you’ll run into same problems almost everywhere if you publish articles critical of your advertisers. That’s nothing to do with Google and just the market working as intended/expected.
This is a good tip to avoid persistence. Lots of exploits won’t survive a reboot and so the target would have to be exploited again.
> Imagine if there were no up or down votes, and how people might respond to having no ability to silently express their opinions.

This is silly. None of the internet forums I grew up with had these.
And I'm not endorsing this idea of them being persecuted.

But I am saying that their hesitancy is real, and is widely shared. It's an inescapable consequence of having downvotes. HN does it best, by gating downvoting privileges to accounts in good standing but even then it's not easy.
edit: this comment initially made claims that it looked like HN was removing climate change related content from the front page. I still believe this to be the case, but don't really have strong enough evidence to back it up. I'll wait until I have something more convincing before posting about this again.

Who knows, maybe I am just paranoid.
I find it so strange that blogging is such a simple problem to solve but there's really no service that does it nicely.

There was a while when everyone was basing their company's official blog on Tumblr! The space is so bad people were using Tumblr for their official company blog!!

Then came Medium and for a while people rejoiced but then it turned into an annoying website.

Yea there are "many" blogging services but each one lacks some important things that make them "meh".

- You need to have a commenting system. A blog that is just a set of static pages is not so interesting. I suppose the hard part here is fighting spam?

- You must support non-latin languages. Sometimes I blog in Arabic and I want RTL support on my blog.

- You need an RSS feed and email subscriptions. Let people build up their audience.

- You need to support multimedia (images, movies, audio ..)

- You need to support input by several languages (markdown, html, wysiwyg)

- You need a set of decent looking themes and have them be somewhat customizable

- You need to be easy to setup! If you're a hosted service, this is often a non-issue, but if you're a "you host your own blog" you need to provide something better than "here's the source, now install these twenty different development tools and run all these commands here and there and edit these fifteen config files so you can build and configure your blog".

- You need to provide the user with a way to easily get all their content so they can switch away from your platform. If the data is in a special format you should provide them the tools necessary to export to various other formats (html, pdf, etc..)
What's the use case for using both Plausible and Matomo at the same time? Just pseudo-"A/B" testing for which one is a better fit or are there major feature differences where using both is needed?

Not really. In fact, pretty much anything would have been easier to memorize than this colon-separated nonsense, which makes URL parsing more difficult, and which is so stupidly complex that it has a special syntax to ignore repeating zeros.

Yes it is. If you write a COBOL program you're writing legacy code. Contrary to what you might think about Perl it's quickly approaching the same fate.
Likewise a jigsaw is not a puzzle; it's a type of saw. But we'll cut ;-) you some slack for the poor terminology if you'll let us name a drinking establishment for a piece of furniture.

Of course not. Nobody with any intelligence will admit that is their real intent. That would be political suicide.
DDD is just one way to do it. You can as well call it „Focus on what you’re solving instead of implementation details”. DDD just provides patterns to follow this approach.

It’s easy to say „just write simple code”, but how do you do it? It’s not an advice someone can follow. Complex domains have many challenges where having patterns helps.

Look up how fluorine, the "devil's chemical", was found and isolated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine#Isolation They blew themselves up, or worse, in pursuit of scientific knowledge. Without their work, semiconductors and electronics wouldn't be possible, and we wouldn't be here on this forum.

You don't have to sacrifice yourself, but don't infringe on those brave folks who are advancing our scientific knowledge by risking their lives. (Although if you're a lab-leak conspiracist, then it's probably too late.)
Dunno, I'm pretty sure I've seen calls to break up or even nationalize Google and similar sentiments at the top quite a lot. That doesn't strike me as particularly right-wing?
I do enjoy these sorts of things. There was a time when it was about "user interface design" instead of "user experience". Back then it was about "human interface guidelines", consistency, efficiency, and minimal use friction.

Nowadays it's all about the prettiest farkle and the most novel interface. Where friction actually means "more time eyeballs spend looking at my design", and consistency has zero value.

Teams, I'm looking at you. Every election app? You suck at usability, and my laptop is too hot. Windows metro? You obviously sucked and no one misses you. Ribbon instead of menus? Thanks for making me move my mouse and eyes ten times as far just so I can enjoy your pretty icons.
> There should be no requirement to have the camera on, it really adds very little over voice alone

I couldn’t disagree more. You can see if people are agreeing, disagreeing, confused by something someone said, even if they won’t say it out loud. There’s a million important and valuable cues that get lost when people do meetings without a camera.

Ans “work was done by voice alone for decades” is just not true in any significant way. Most teams that needed to communicate and have meetings regularly were in the same room. People flew (and still fly) around the planet to have a single meeting with a group of people.

I’m just a student and employee, and therefore in no position to make anyone behave in any particular way when it comes to Zoom calls. But I think it’s rude and uncomfortable to have work meetings or lectures to a faceless crowd because someone “isn’t comfortable on camera”. If you don’t enforce any minimum etiquette for such meetings, it all just converges on the least effort, lowest engagement, minimum communication version because every person who drops off camera makes it creepier for the remaining ones to talk to a bunch of black rectangles.
Production of batteries is the constraint ... previously, currently, and in foreseeable future (<5-8 years). Simply don't have the capacity to make 100% EVs.

Further, given this capacity, the numbers work out such that we are, on the macro level, DRASTICALLY more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly by putting more hybrids and Plug-in Hybrids (which have fewer batteries) on the road than we are by reserving said batteries for fewer pure EVs.

2.5 Priuses are better than 1 EV.

When battery technology and production capacity are NOT the constraint, then pure EV will make sense.

All cars should be mandated hybrid soon (or all manufactures must meet a minimum hybridization level across their line ... sort of like fuel efficiency standards are measured today). All cars should be mandated Plugin Hybrid at some point after that. Maybe someday, we can mandate Pure EV.
Yeah I'm wondering why a properly sized thread pool backed up with a queue system wouldn't work here.

https://www.animalz.co/blog/bottom-line-up-front/ is the blog post that I can most credit with changing my written communication style. Knowing what's expected of me prior to engaging in a full-fledged conversation helps me triage, and also helps me prime the discussion when I context switch over to it.
I like this perspective. I work a similar way. I'm very careful about what I send out, but try to be very responsive and clear with communications. Sometimes I write, rewrite and rewrite/edit a 2 sentence slack message just to ensure clarity.

Re: timezones, I work extended hours, by my own preference, to coordinate with a team in eastern europe. I space out the hours and take many breaks during the day to ensure I don't burn out. I find it less exhausting to work a longer but chill day, than to work a shorter nonstop day.

The ioniq 5 is a great vehicle. If their adaptive cruise control is anything like the current Sonata (that I have) with the new lane changing tech, it'll already go a long way in making highway drives and stop and go traffic a breeze.

Not sure how well HDA 2 (their term for cruise control ) does but the older version doesn't handle sharper turns well and loses the lines briefly. New tech also steers the car out of harm's way like Tesla does so they've come a very long way.
What was interesting about this submission is that Facebook have now created a business unit for this so I don't think it's fair to characterize as a "dupe".

Oh, fond memories of it. It was the first time when I understood that when you fly to the Moon, not only you have to cross the Moon's orbit, but you have to do it when Moon itself is nearby. If you are 1/4 orbital period ahead of it, you are screwed.

It also ruined space movies like "Gravity" for me, because pointing the nose to the space station in 50 km and applying thrust towards it turns out to be a sure way to NOT get to that station!

Edit: fixed the thrust direction

The FUD accusations seem a bit hasty here. The linked Senate hearing doesn't seem to contain negative things about BEVs (it only criticizes the "narrow focus" on them), but instead opts for including hybrid and hydrogen, with the argument being that "recent data shows that plug-in hybrids can achieve nearly the same or better GHG reductions than BEVs depending on your daily driving patterns, the carbon in the electric grid, the carbon resulting from battery production, and other factors." https://www.energy.senate.gov/services/files/E2EA0E4F-BAD9-4...

That may be wrong, but the ars article didn't have any counter arguments.
Approval of specific airframes and engines through STCs (Supplementary Type Certificates) is slightly misleading. In the same way, regular unleaded gasoline is also approved through STCs for many airframes and engines. This isn’t the silver 1:1 bullet that replaces 100LL tomorrow. Nevertheless, I’m all for the 100LL alternatives efforts. If I was buying an aircraft, however, I would be more interested in a Jet-A burning piston (basically diesel). Unfortunately that market is currently limited to Diamond aircraft, which are fantastic if not for their tight grip on their service network.

Text also has the best tooling around change management. Every developer I interview these days knows how to use source control, do diffs and code review, use local / staging / production environments and do rollbacks and hotfixes (etc etc). Sometimes the allure of these no code platforms in solving some important problems overlooks that even if they can do that well, they _also_ need to be just as good as change management, and likely the person building said app needs to understand all these concepts well.
