It's usually not managers who are chasing the latest buzzword but employees who don't want to be stuck with legacy technologies. The elephant in the room is that most technologies fail to gain traction and employees understand they have to curate their resume to maintain relevance and employability. All too often technologies are chosen to appease that, not based on a clear-headed assessment of the benefits and risks.
Half an hour drive ≠ 5km lockdown restrictions. Your condescending tone is typical of Australia's managerial class, completely disconnected from the realities most locked down Australians are facing.

Have a moment to ponder the existence of immigrant small business owners facing bankruptcy in Parramatta, the furloughed truckies in Blacktown, the working class kids in overcrowded government housing in Penrith.
There’s a great video here that goes through all this - the gist is that USB keyboards specify what polling rate to use, 1000hz for the best ones, maybe 125hz for the cheaper ones. An interesting thing about ps/2 is that even though it doesn’t have to wait for the keyboard to poll it transmits data at much slower speed than USB (khz vs mhz) which somewhat offsets the advantage it gets from being interrupt driven

if you're a hiring manager making $400k at a bay area tech company, you'll most likely put up with it.
Lockdown means that it is literally illegal to make that drive to the coastline right now, and it will continue to be for the foreseeable future. The only people who get to enjoy being in "one of the most beautiful places in the world full of sunshine, sea and sand" during lockdown are a few incredibly wealthy folks living in expensive homes in expensive regions of the country. The comment you're replying to is exactly right.
Because few want USB-C ports dedicated to charging. The point of USB-C if flexibility. "One port to rule them all".

It’s so weird to have seen the last restrictions lifted this past weekend while the rest of the world is still stuck in a pandemic.

Come on people, get vaccinated and wear a damn mask! If we could do it, so can you!

We still have anti-mask groups demonstrating by the way. Though that mandate was lifted a few months back. Really interesting how Facebook has brought together the stupid people in their common cause… but maybe, just maybe there really is a problem with misinformation on the platform when the crazies are still forming up to protest something that isn’t there. :o

Conor Friedersdorf is a self-declared libertarian (i.e. to the right of the fairly centre-left Atlantic). Usually his takes are fairly pragmatic given the libertarian title though he does begin to get a bit nutty the further things get from his front door.

Calling a meeting a "daily stand-up" does not make it so. That's the problem with using buzz words.

Many complaints, and this article is no exception, are not about canonical "daily stand-ups" but about the meetings people experience in their team or their lack of understanding what the aim of "daily stand-ups" are and what problems they propose to solve.

Agile favours face-to-face communication because it's the most effective for quick discussions. The format of the "daily stand-up" is also specifically designed to focus attention of the participants and to make it quick. It is not meant to be a project or status meeting.

Ultimately organizations decide what's best for them but it useful to gather a good understanding of those rituals before trying them out and criticising them.

You can read more details after you click "Product details". It says that the filter corresponds to EPA12 class, so no HEPA.

> The particle filter is tested according to EN 1822-1 and ISO 29463-3 which corresponds to class EPA12.
I agree. People simply do not accept that it costs more money to get off the beaten path. For example, it is very cheap to build a mold that produces 10000 plastic parts. It's very expensive (per part) to use a high end 3D printer that costs hundreds of thousands to make a one off part 5 times for an emergency.

If there is only demand for 10 machines but you need 11 machines in case of an emergency then the 11th machine will have to recoup all of its costs during the emergency. That's extremely expensive but consider this: the machine is paid off and ready to deal with a second emergency.
scenario: you want to resell 50000 istock phots, but they are watermarked, making the free high resolution versions valueless.

solution: you use a denoising filter to reconstruct the watermark pixels to plausible original values. Profit!

this: instead of just simple obvious watermarks, you can instead encode visually indistinct fake-noise that deliberately confuses denoising neural networks.

They claim “We find that we can target multiple different models simultaneously with our technique.”, ie. it is reasonably generic.

Thanks for the spelling correction. Afghanistan exporting opium for legitimate use and the Taliban enslaving a local populace, engaging in human trafficking, and decimating all dissent with certain death and torture is slightly different.

Apparently [1] PS/2 limited by a slower data rate than USB 2.0 which cancels out almost all the advantage of its lower initial latency to begin the transmission, making them both about equally capable in actual latency - at least in theory.

Scheme/Lisp seems to be a great representation for this, the author suggests diagrams and text, which I assume is optimal for most things, but sometimes it's helpful to write pseudo-code and it seems to me that S-expressions are almost friction less in that regard, especially since it provides visual structure without having to (re-)format code too much, but also because of the minimal syntax.
Not really. What do you think a rebellion in the US would look like? Probably a lot like fighting dispersed groups of militants… like the Taliban

They’re not going to be having dogfights in F-15s or nuking Chicago so those capabilities are not really helpful.

It's surprisingly good! Same experience as using VSCode on my computer. I'll definitely start using it for quick edits, then probably end using it for normal development.

Curious to see how the developing experience will evolve in the next few years.

It looks like this is actually just the editor from Visual Studio Online unless I've missed something.

It's great, but if it were really Visual Studio Code that would be awesome and I'd be pleasantly surprised.

(The difference being that if it's just the editor it misses out on all the compiler/analysis integrations. If Github were providing Linux containers in the cloud for working on projects - essentially the SSH feature from Visual Studio Code - it would be absolutely brilliant.)
So to clarify, the government was, as the other poster says, corrupt about the vaccine...but you trust them to make the right decision about lockdowns?

Computer Modern is known to be on the thin side for digital displays, and I've seen quite a few people argue that it's a risky choice for legibility. Personally, I find it perfectly legible on macOS/iOS, but renders poorly on Windows, especially in Chrome/Edge; Firefox handles it better.
You're juxtaposing legitimate beef with US policy and intervention which carries some level of nuance with the Taliban. To me, that's trying to give them some credence where they clearly have none.

Says a lot about this article when they describe Ivermectin as such.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin

"Ivermectin was discovered in 1975 and came into medical use in 1981.It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.Ivermectin is FDA-approved as an antiparasitic agent.In 2018, it was the 420th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than one hundred thousand prescriptions."

And they just call it a "horse dewormer".

It's fantastic. Cloud 9 IDE has been surprisingly good at this point for many years but never really got much attention after the Amazon purchase.

Obviously it's no Visual Studio Code (not least because of the ecosystem of plugins), so it's great to see things coming along.

Yes japan had more modern ships and crews with the technical skills to crew them, and the infrastructure to deploy them effectively. They were very rapidly modernising in ways that China simply wasn't. Those reparations figures are wildly overestimated, the cost of the war to Japan was estimated at about half of the reparations for example.

Looking at Britain, most of the imperial revenue flowed to the gentrified classes and into their estates. The industrialisers were mainly middle class domestic manufacturers and it's the growing friction between these two sides of the economy that drove political conflict and reform in Britain.

Most of Europe had no third world empire. As I pointed out, Germany proved conclusively that Empire was irrelevant. Spain and Portugal had huge Empires and just fizzled out because they didn't industrialise. France also failed to capitalise on Empire in ways that mattered long term.

China also has industrialised rapidly over several decades, and their imperial assets in Tibet and Xinjiang played no significant role in this. What matters is policy and economic culture. This is what distinguishes say Israel from it's neighbours. They're similar sizes, similar resources but night and day in terms of development.

I think political science and public relations can net some answers why politicians tend to put on too many restrictions. The reality is nobody could know exactly how dangerous the disease is in the first place and if you are responsible for health and safety, most would opt to err on the side of caution. Makes sense.

Problem is that there are groups in the population that overplay enforcement of rules without for different reason and they continue to demand more restrictions and it becomes a political liability to change course.

You won't find many interior ministers that don't advertise increased surveillance. Doesn't mean they are autocrats but it also doesn't mean you should listen to them.

Covid is a serious disease but it gladly isn't that deadly like other plagues humanity had to face before. I don't think lockdowns are appropriate anymore. And people demanding absolute protection against risk of infection need to be brought back to reality. Their fears aren't reason enough to shut down life as much as it is now.

It is also the reality of life that some people die of respiratory diseases. We develop immunity or resistance against diseases like the cold and we probably have to do the same with covid.

sidenote:
Wording in this article is not fitting in my opinion. An accuser demands consequences but that is not true for the group that was described. Skeptics would fit better.

I don't think the definitions of groups is too accurate but if we take those as defined, I think the most important attribute is age and not nationality. So demographics explain the difference between nations better than locality.

Am I alone in not jumping on the Visual Studio [Code] bandwagon? Other online editors have had "vim modes" for ages (e.g. Overleaf) and frankly I'm unlikely to write a chonking great script or project in a browser on Github -- a minor modification is much more likely. VS Code's codebase is huge. Will Github allow people to use other $EDITORs?

(Yes, I'm aware this makes me sound like an old man!)
Yes, of course - but if a country already had a well-oiled establishment civil-service which kept its finger on the pulse of the nation then it would already be aligned with the electorates' interests and voting-intent.

I recognize I'm basically describing a utopia.
> which, if the predicate is "expected," is like saying

> x = value (... unless blah blah)

Except it's the opposite of that, because "if" is the opposite of "unless". It's more like saying

x = value (... if blah blah)
That's a shame, but at the same time a big step forward.

Azure has had this for a few years now (unless there's upgrades in the Github version I'm not aware of) and it's been really useful for quick edits - will be good to see it develop now that it's sure to pick up much more use through GH.
... am I misreading [2] or did Ashley file an office Nerf war under an "Assault and Battery" complaint to HR?

I'm not saying there aren't some legitimate potential instances of concern documented here, or at least grey areas (director inviting Ashley to drinks alone, 'looking sad' when she brought a friend and talking about his ex-wife) - but they are glossed over, and instead the focus is on sensationalizing some things I would consider trivial. The things I would consider particularly concerning are deemphasized in Ashley's narrative [2].

I suspect some of her 2015 concerns amounted to her manager and team really just not liking her very much. I suspect the behavior Ashley is pointing to wasn't sexism (from her female manager) but rather that she went over her manager's head to the director and shit-talked her. Naturally this was filed under a "Quid-pro-quo" complaint to HR.

It appears she had an open conversation with HR for almost six years complaining about many of the folks she'd ever worked with.

"A team of say 10 people will quickly fragment along e.g. backend / frontend lines in my experience, both in general exchange and code review."

Then you effectively have two teams, isn't it? I've been in the exact situation before and that's the conclusion we've reached.

With a very conservative two minutes per update and the absolute best conditions, you've got a 20 minutes standup at the very strict minimum, and that's with military discipline. How do you get to 10 minutes?

At this point, you're either not saying anything important or not having any discussion. In both cases, everyone would save time either typing a one line status update on slack, or having more thorough and focused discussions outside of standup.
