Adverse events? Don't make me laugh. Sorry, but even the most doomsday anti-vax postulations about vaccine "adverse events" don't even come close to competing with the proven "adverse events" of COVID infection. A whole bunch of mumbling imaginings don't amount to a hill of beans when compared to four million deaths.

If you want my attention, you'll have to show me evidence that vaccines have caused millions of people to die within weeks and millions more are currently suffering serious long term illness. But you can't show anything like that. You're playing an infantile game of "I demand exact numbers" in order to hide the fact you're asserting phantom dangers while unable to offer any numbers of your own.
> this high communication method isn't really scalable too

True, from what I've seen the threshold lies somewhere at 10-12 people, assuming a mixed team engineering + marketing + etc.

But while you are small you can take advantage, remove all formalities and be in-place as much as possible. You can move so much faster, having trivial respect and ethics in mind, as in don't talk loudly about sales just next to an engineer who seems to be working on something. And vice versa.
+1 and I like your writing style: “””The oh so serious kabuki show we all play out in offices, especially open plans, wastes a lot of mental energy on "professionalism" and decor.”””
Looking back on previous opportunities I've had, I do regret not taking full advantage of them. It wasn't something I realized I should be cognizant of until later in my career though. With hindsight it's easy to see where I could have utilized each opportunity more.

That is one of those 'small privileges' you get from an upbringing that teaches how to succeed I think, much like personal finance, travel, building strong relationships and so on. I know it's hard to get through to kids sometimes, but just having them keep in mind that they should be aware of these topics puts them miles ahead of others in terms of living a well lived life.

Why? How is that different than sitting on lamb or rabbit leather? Those are also very cute animals. You wouldn't be able to tell if you looked at it. My mum used to have a blanket made out of cat fur for a while.....it's just leather - It's only weird if you make it weird :-P

Also, in general it's a very weird comparison, but I'm not even making fun out of the guy for refusing a ride - I just think it's a weird moral stance to take, I can understand refusing to buy some leather seats, but riding in them? Especially as a favour? What does that change in the world? Literally nothing.

By the way, from 2008 Safari has MathMl support, while Chrome still hasn’t (almost 10 years passed after Google removed it).

I'm also divided, and I still go to office because of that (at the moment we can sort of choose it ourselves), 1 or 2 days a week. Sometimes 0. I enjoy the time in the office, I see who is there, try to gather a big group for a good lunch and talk as much as I can. At home I focus on coding, document writing etc. I'm all for letting teams hash it out among themselves.

One argument that I think fails in the long run is that creativity drops. Maybe it does, in the short term, but if people are happier at home, and more companies will support it, new ways of being creative or even together will be found. I wouldn't worry so much about losing the "classic, old" way creativity worked before, there is so much to be gained and so much yet to be learned. Give it some time, embrace it, see where it takes us.

One example of growing creativity for me has been: One colleague in our team is from the US, he's the only one. Pre-Covid he'd be on a speaker in our meeting room, no cam on. Since Covid he has his cam on, same as everyone else. We engage much more in small talk, recently we got a tour of his house and garden via webcam. What a nice guy! We wrote some patents together now too. Even though we are 8 hours flying away from each other. The talent pool for teams just grows much bigger.

Not a direct comparable, but Yahoo! used to show a second search box in the results above the "real" results" for the (shockingly many; I don't recall the numbers, but when I worked at Yahoo 2003-2005 it was a not insubstantial number) users who would do a yahoo search for Google to do their actual search, to try to get them to do their actual search at Yahoo instead of clicking through.

The notion of some of them getting stuck in a loop is more amusing to me than it should be.

I think this is the much of the reason document dbs are popular. If you have an array in your struct, just save it.

Having used mongoDB in the past, for me it was a better day 1 experience. I didn’t need SQL, I just stored my data. The problem is that on day 2 there’s a different access pattern for your data but now it’s stored in a way that’s highly optimized only for that first application.

I've looked at paseto (and even filed an issue in our repo about supporting them: https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/773 ) but the thing I keep running into is:

* JWT can be secure if you are careful
* there is wide support for JWT. (See for example this IETF draft https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-access-token-jwt-13 as well as the numerous libraries)
* it does a simple job "well enough".

Maybe paseto can eventually displace JWT, but I have a hard time seeing how that happens.
In Finland there used to be a culture of everyone from high school upwards living in chatrooms or IRC, so it has been extremely natural for people to "idle" on chat channels and interact naturally over those. I would say chat channels feel much more intimate and social environment to me than sitting in an office. Even when we worked in offices we had IRC or Slack or other channels open and interacted over those rather than by actually walking around and talking. It's simply much more effective, asynchronous, and leaves a log of what was said and agreed.
I did something like this as an excuse to play around with “git scraping” but it had weird frequent issues with character encodings or something on many requests. I never had the time to dig in to that so eventually just archived it.

I am posting this for the "Methodology" section. The title and content is based solely on extrapolation and not on actual tabulation of the vaccination status of the infected, hospitalized, and the deceased.

We kind of knew this, but this is the first admission "in print":

> * For example, if there are 12 cases among a population of 100 people, the rate would be 12 people per 100.

> * The Post reduced the denominator to exclude most vaccinated people. So if 20 people got vaccinated, that would mean there were 12 cases out of the remaining 80 unvaccinated people, for an adjusted rate of 15 cases per 100 people.

> * To be conservative, The Post estimated that up to 15 percent of the vaccinated population could still be infected.

> * in the example above, instead of removing all 20 vaccinated people, The Post removed 17. That would leave 12 cases among 83 people, for an adjusted rate of 14.5 cases per 100 people.

> * subtracted 90 percent of the vaccinated population from the denominator for hospitalization and 98 percent of the vaccinated population from the denominator for death rates.

It would be helpful to know the actual rates.

Yes, and my intention is to make sure there is wide support for PASETO in the near future too.

> Maybe paseto can eventually displace JWT, but I have a hard time seeing how that happens.

It won't ever 100% displace JWT in the same way that we won't ever 100% displace PHP 4 from the Internet, or the legions of badly written tutorials full of SQL Injection vulnerabilities that new programmers learn from.

The goal isn't to displace JWT, though. The goal is to provide a secure-by-default, easy-to-use, hard-to-misuse alternative.

After all, just because it's possible to implement a set of building blocks "securely" doesn't mean the kit is secure. I wrote more about this here: https://paragonie.com/blog/2019/10/against-agility-in-crypto...

But even if you don't care about all of that, the upcoming PASETO versions (v3/v4) offer cryptographic properties that JWT does not, such as exclusive ownership. https://github.com/paragonie/paseto/blob/master/docs/Rationa...

------

Also, in case it wasn't obvious: PASERK is still a work-in-progress; things might change. Wait until you see a `1.0` tag before trying to implement it.

There is a reference implementation in PHP, but that's also experimental and no stable release has occurred there yet.

For non-ubiquitous languages (everything other than English), part of the difficulty of learning is not just the basic learning, it's retaining what you've learned; it might be difficult to practice it unless you're on the country that speaks it.

> or want to extract your equity as debt

Pretty tempting to do just that when your house value doubles in 5 years and you're left with six figure equity with near zero interest rates, in an investment market that is manipulated to avoid any serious correction or recession.

Personally, I prefer to avoid debt, but the past ~20 years has been a perfect environment to maximize leverage in home equity and invest it into more real estate, or the stock market.

For what it’s worth, I made a similar decision. My dedicated home office is large enough to reengineer for a treadmill (I used one at Google every day for a short while), but I decided it was better for me to go on frequent mini 5 minute walks outside, with long walks before work and sometimes during lunch break. Being outside is healthy, which is why I like to find a shady spot outside to work for short periods.

Also, short walks are great times to think about work. Or, sometimes having a pad of paper to think away from a computer.
