As I wrote elsewhere, it all depends on the size of the department, and the manager. If you work where there's 3-15 in the tech department, either a small unit of a large company, or just a small or medium-sized company, you have more autonomy and authority. But if you are one of 200 programmers, then no. That was true back then as I'm sure it is now. In the same respects, if you have a sh-t manager back then, big company or small, it is the same thing. Micromanaging, time-wasting, with a sh-tty boss. Or you could have a great manager back then or now, who keeps general tabs on things, and only starts getting to become a micromanager if the person under them starts f-cking up, which as it should be.

But let's say you work at a large plumbing company with 200 plumbers, and you have a tech department of 7 people and an admin staff of 25. The CEO is a plumber and what does he know about tech, the COO is working on coordinating trucks and insurance and personnel and all kinds of other things, and the CFO has his hands busy just keeping up with accounting. Nobody is going to mess with you, as long as YOU don't mess up. They don't even know how to help you, and they are too busy with their own sh-t. Except in the biggest picture view, of course. Then, all you have to hope for is that the manager is good. Usually they are, because they are busy. But I've worked at Fortune 500 companies in local offices or regions where I was the only person doing what I was doing, and absolutely no one bothered me, because I was there by myself. Sure, I talked to a lot of people in the company to see what they needed to have done, but after that, my time was my own. I can't imagine it would be any different now, in the same circumstances.
The term remains easy to understand. Whether you agree/disagree with it is a separate matter.

An Amazon worker that can exclusively determine who gets to be on the board of directors.

Is your contention that alienation is _not_ one source (among many) of social conflict? Certainly history is not on your side here.
Sitting here in Michigan when he stated that China didn't want to make the mistake of deindustrializing it hit me hard. China thinks we made a mistake in deindustrializing which is something those in the Midwest would agree with fully. It was a policy that worked for the coasts swimmingly but the Midwest paid the price for it.

Are you sure that's also not stressing your knees?
You make some fair points. But even from the eyes of those people, what is the alternative? Is iMessage guaranteed to not have any hidden exploits out there? And on the flip side, what do they lose out on by only having those conversations in person? Well, I'd argue that their world becomes a lot smaller, and there sources are instantly at a higher risk.
Bullshit is everywhere. Here’s how to deal with it at work
Hardware designed for linux. What does that even mean? Does intel make CPUs designed for linux? No. You don't know what you're talking about.

All hardware on my system have drivers available from the manufacture SO ALL of the hardware is "designed" for linux. It's just like the OP said there is poor support. So there's bugs in the software because all bug fixing resources are aimed at fixing Windows issues. So basically even the THOUGHT of buying specifically designed hardware for windows is non-existent for windows because basically it ALWAYS works.

For windows the OS and hardware are designed to always work and that's all they care about. This is a major major feature that Linux DOES NOT have. Linux is inferior in every way on this aspect.

No user cares about the morality or the reasoning behind why this windows works with so much hardware. They are concerned with tools that help them achieve their objective. Linux is definitively worse than this on many aspects than windows OR OSX.

"If you were to believe movies, you can get ANY woman if you're persistent enough."

Anyone believing that, would also have to believe, that ANY woman can get YOU, if she is persistent enough. And most would clearly object to that, but yeah logic consistency is not usually a theme of movie romances or of the target audience.

"Another very damaging myth is that kung fu will save you from muggers"

But if you know kung fu (or any martial arts) on a high level, then yes, it usually will save you from muggers. Because martial arts at its core (unless we are talking only about the sports turnament situation) is about situational awareness ALL the time. Meaning you do not get close enough to a person, that might stab you, in the first place. You are aware of dangers. Of people posing threats. You check the persons and places around you for signs of trouble. So you are in control of the situation - so you can be calm. Even when there is indeed trouble. But if fear and anger are not controlling you, you can control the situation and diffuse it.
(and knowing that you can take someone out in a moment, helps with the confidence, unless it feeds your ego seeking such moments)

Otherwise yes, martial arts masters bleed as anyone else. I think some world champion of kickboxing was killed in a bar fight. And the mystic glorifications of kung fu and co does lives on in the movies, but in reality it mostly vanished by real bullets

> I'm genuinely shocked to see so many people disagreeing with this premise. Very few people will voluntarily perform shitty, low-status jobs unless you motivate them.

Motivating them is the key word. Right now we depend on people being forced into stressful, precarious or life threatening situations in order to coerce them into doing jobs those of us in more stable circumstances would never do voluntarily. As a result, desperate people are paid far less than the work is actually worth. Personally I find the approach morally repugnant, we should instead guarantee a decent standard of living and allow wages for undesirable jobs to rise to their correct price. The crowd that thinks they're above cleaning their own toilet might be a bit put out but fuck them.

Koel Player, the official mobile app for Koel music streaming server
Hi everyone,

I've just released my first mobile app ever on AppStore, and am very excited to share it with you. Dubbed "Koel Player," it's a music player for Koel, the open-source music streaming server that I've been working on for a couple of years now. In a nutshell, Koel allows you to host and play your own music (imagine Spotify, but with your own mp3 collection). There's always been a responsive layout for mobile devices, but the user experience is sub-par due to the limitations of mobile web technologies. Koel Player is built as a native mobile app to solve this problem.

The app itself is 100% open-source, but one can purchase and download it from AppStore (Google Play counterpart coming soon) to support the project. As this is my first time developing for mobile (and Flutter, and Dart, etc. you got the idea), there must be a ton of bugs and problems with the codebase, so if you could take a look and share some feedback I'd greatly appreciate.
"We feel pain because we have specific types of receptors called nociceptors which are programmed to respond to pain, not to touch."

I assume he meant we feel pain as a response to damage. Saying we feel pain because of a response to pain makes no sense.
It well and truly is not.

The Sun provides the Earth with enormous amounts of syntropy (this is the inverse of entropy), and we can capture this through productive labor before it inevitably dissipates off into space.

As a toy example, it is certainly mathematically possible for everyone to grow more calories than they consume. We wouldn't want this, for the obvious reason that we don't need more calories than we consume, and this would be labor-intensive enough to leave many useful tasks unfilled.

But it proves you wrong: there's nothing preventing "give more than you receive" from being a categorical imperative. Certainly nothing "mathematical".
There's also no evidence that plants (or computers) don't feel pain. We really have very little knowledge of what does or does not cause conscious experience.
> climate change, plastic pollution, economic problems, healthcare (personal and the system), philosophical/existential inquiries, etc

If you're not doing actively something about it, what's the point of keeping this in mind if it only makes you sad? It seems like some people like having a moral high ground by being sad at important issues, but I don't really see the point. Either do something, or don't do anything.

It is difficult to offer a reply to this comment because it is hard to tell what the intent is. It reads tongue in cheek to me. I apologize if that is not the case.

The work you are describing is difficult, but that doesn't mean that it will translate to absolute strength or that it is the same as strength training. Moving 80 bags of cement won't translate to deadlifting 405 pounds a few days later unless the person doing that is already very strong. If the person doing that work does not overexert themselves they'll certainly be adapted to doing more of that type of work though.

Strength training is about making deliberate progression through repeated cycles of overloading and adaptation, and not about making equivalencies from one type of work to another. A bag of cement in the United States weighs 94 pounds. If you move 80 of them, you'll adapt to moving 80 bags of cement that weigh 94 pounds. That will not translate to the ability to lift four or five bags of cement at a time without deliberate effort. Will you empty the cement into a container adding a little more each time with appropriate recovery periods between until you can lift four bags worth of cement? Or will you move them one at a time, or maybe two at a time if you are able, to get the job done?

Freenom free domains only grant you usage rights. The registrant listed in WHOIS is still their company. You don't own the domain.

I have a few Freenom domains, but they are only for short-term use (e.g. try out a new ACME client). Nobody should use a Freenom domain on a serious website.
One rule I have for trying new exercises is to try it five times before giving up. This is particularly true for classes with an instructor.

The first time you have absolutely no idea what’s going on.

The 2nd - 4th times you are starting to get the hang of it and will see the slight derivations across different classes.

By the 5th time you’ve probably gotten enough exposure to be able to say “yeah ok this really isn’t my thing” or “these of the parts of this I really enjoy”.

I agree with other commenters that there is something important about weight lifting, though. Certainly having cardio as your main exercise is fine, but I think diversity of exercise is important, too.
Fair point.

However... I have an illustrates copy of "Origin of Species," with Darwin's original drawings. It's quite beautiful. Naturalists of the day used a style of drawing. It was utilitarian, good for identification purposes. But, it's almost impossible not to see it as an artistic tradition too.

Point taken though. This style originates in science, and they had reasons for their style.

Hi, Keith! Glad to see you're still enjoying hipster compute :).

How/what do you think about Cloudflare workers, fly.io, and similar "run pure-ish functions anywhere"? I no longer have any skin in the game, but it seems to me that "ignoring locality" just means having to reinvent locality later on.
>The concept known as "worse is better" holds that in software making (and perhaps in other arenas as well) it is better to start with a minimal creation and grow it as needed.

It's a horrible moniker for the concept and most people who use it don't really mean piecemeal growth at all. What they do talk about is usually design where some shortcut allows you to quickly accomplish a short-term goal while completely ignoring long-term consequences. This is the mentality that I see everywhere in the software industry today.

Go is mentioned here in comments as an example of "worse is better". It fits nicely. The main "feature" of the language is that it doesn't have any constructs that would require an average college grad or a disgruntled Java shitcoder out there to apply effort in order to understand the feature. Thus, people grab the language and mindlessly run with it. By the time the codebase grows where you need more advanced features, it's too late to switch.

My prediction is that in a few years when an average Go codebase switches ownership at least once, it will become widely hated, and language developers will start cramming in features that they originally said aren't needed there at all. You've already seen a preview of thing when they replaced cutesey (and obviously broken) dependency management with modules.
I'm really happy with my integrated water cooling for my desktop, the large fan barely has to run and the water pump is almost inaudible except for the occasional gurgling noise. Its not the same sound as a whining small CPU cooling fan so much less annoying. The PSU fan also doesn't have to run much unless you really load the system. Been working well for almost 10 years.

You also own the domain only if you paid:

> As a PAID domain name registrant, you receive the benefits of holding the legal license rights of the domain name.
> Fazze is a part of AdNow, which is a digital marketing company, registered in both Russia and the UK.

The BBC reporters attempt to use this as a way of linking the misinformation campaign back to Russia - but this just simply means that Russians happened to have been involved. I'm sure we can find shady people willing to accept money from any source, living in any Country. This in itself is not even remotely close to strong evidence for a Russian-based misinformation campaign.

> Omid Nouripour, the foreign policy spokesman for the German Green party has suggested looking to Moscow for the motivation behind the Fazze campaign.

> He said: "Bad-mouthing vaccines in the West undermines trust in our democracies and is supposed to increase trust in Russia's vaccines, and there is only one side that benefits and that is the Kremlin."

Only one side that benefits? I believe anybody who supports a vaccine other than Pfizer would benefit. China for example would also see a benefit from such a campaign. The UK produces the AstraZeneca vaccine and the ad company is UK based, why aren't we pointing the finger at the UK?

There is simply not enough information here to draw the conclusions that they suggest. They started off with a conclusion and worked backwards towards a justification. This is quite irresponsible by the BBC and probably what I would expect from a politician.

It appears to be true. The irony is, by demonetizing creators for 'misinformation' in their content, creators have now resorted to accepting funding from random private third parties with lots of cash. These platforms have entirely removed themselves from the advertising loop whilst increasing disinformation.

It’s comparable to walking on the flat.

But, you have to be really careful on the downhill parts - that’s what gets the knees. I was surprised to notice that it takes me longer to go down than up - and I think that’s good.

Jogging is different. I tried that a few years ago and my knees started acting up.
That statistic doesn't come near to supporting OP's claim. There are plenty of people with substance abuse problems or mental illness who could "handle" living in a free apartment if it were provided to them. The fact that they can't afford market-rate housing doesn't necessarily mean they'd destroy any home they lived in.
Yes.

And for the sake of the same argument I made a counter argument, stating that some initially believed to be rare circumstances are actually not that rare.

> For one math is almost never formalized and second informal math is quite strongly typed [...]

I think you're correct about the first part, but not about the second.

It is incredibly common in mathematics to silently "convert" objects between different types or to ignore certain things that will trip you up once you try to encode things super formally. For example, "the function x^2" (instead of x->x^2), basically all the common notational shorthands in differential equations, where functions are treated as variables, silently identifying isomorphic objects and so on. Plus, very few working mathematicians actually use constructivism and are quite happy with the existence of, for example, the whole set of real numbers.
