Not sure I'd say that their reliability "sucks". I've been using it for years and this is only the second major outage I can recall, the other being when an Elon tweet dogpiled millions of users onto the service.
Telegram is not even in "secure" category, according to Bruce Schneier and other security researchers.

They also meddled with Russian elections this year, blocking opposition bots, but allowing govt bots.
Donated three times until they announced partnership with mobilecoin. It signals strange priorities.
Haven't used Element but that sure doesn't sound better. Signal works as a drop-in replacement for the default SMS app on Android, I'm not gonna tell my mom to stop using my phone number and message `tfehring` from Element instead (if it's even that simple), especially since she'd still need an SMS app for everyone else.
As a cyclist I'm always annoyed at the scenario that a car parked to the right of the bike lane having their left turn signal on, and their right turn signal is blocked by the car behind them, so I don't know if they are actually trying to pull out or just having their blinkers on.

Designs like this could actually be a solution to that, if they have the whole <-> on both sides, so when it's blinker they blink -> <-, and when it's turn signal they turn on <- or ->, depending on which side. That would totally resolve cyclist's problem.

But no. Mini completely ruined that. I have so many questions to the designer on how, in any scenario, this is a good idea.
That's a great answer I hadn't considered. Thank you!
n=1, but we still weight it x20 because we have the most data on it.
Namespaces and schema were exactly what was wrong with XML.
Get some super-bright lights. I light my workspace with 24,000 lumens of light. My productivity and mood improved drastically last year when I got them. I use three 55W Feit PAR38 bulbs pointed toward the ceiling and three 25W Feit OM200 bulbs in ceiling fixtures.
> One thing that I do deeply believe is that our scientific and material technology has raced ahead of our moral and social technology. We need some catch-up growth in moral and social technology.

Yes. That will take a while (measured in generations).
My take away is that there probably isn't much signal from this particular dataset.

What we want to know as a society is what is the treatment effect for IG or FB usage. This doesn't really tell us much, self report of impression is important to FB because it's how their users see them, but outside of that it's pretty meh
I want to try Briar on the Tailscale network, but couldn't figure out how to change the listening interface so far. Probably requires building Briar manually.
I totally agree with push back when necessary: my own career has seen lean times and heavy times as well and thankfully I had built enough work-equity with my employers that they gracefully helped me tide over them. So that’s not what am contesting.

I was addressing the heretical point you mentioned - ignore employer’s goals.

May be I missed an exaggeration there.
> as you have to dig deeper to find information on them

Not if you're a member of the historically underrepresented group. That's the point.
Thanks. I do aim for high test coverage, but still not driven by the tests.
> I am a woman beyond 40 and I would have kicked my 20 year old selfs ass.

So you were sedentary (ie. lazy) when younger and now you get some exercise. Not sure what the lesson is there, except "don't be lazy."

I do agree that people who drive and don't walk or jog do have cardio weakness, regardless of age, so let that be a wakeup call for people who are car dependent.
How's that working out?
It's actually slightly easier these days (at least on my phone): hold down the power button as if to turn it off, but don't swipe to actually turn it off, just hit cancel (or home, or power to turn the screen off). The phone will be locked and prompt for your passcode and won't let you use biometrics.
> Most people I know that started using Signal a few months ago are now back to using Whatsapp. Privacy is a nice feature to advertise, but when both your UX and your reliability suck, it's not a good combo.

Fully agree on the UX but not the reliability. WhatsApp used to be famous in Switzerland for its unreliability. On big European football games and Christmas / New Year WhatsApp was regularely down for 3 hours and more.
They could probably render the reactor inoperable by destroying the supporting equipment around the nuclear core, but couldn't they just plan on flying it out? I don't know how heavy the military's reactor is, but this 1MW reactor claims to fit in a shipping container and able to be flown or trucked out:

>>In an ideal world, everyone doing the same job would make the same amount of money when they start.

This is just silly. In the real world there's no such thing as "the same job," because everyone has different skills, talent, life experience, intentions, work ethic, and a vast array of other factors that play into what they should be paid for the job they do. Paychecks are not magically endless wells that produce validation of human self worth. Paychecks are an exchange of cash for work done on behalf of an employer.

People are not interchangeable cogs, each as capable or functional as every other. We are not equal in capacity or capability.

Companies are also infinitely variable, so pegging salary to arbitrarily defined job types or categories creates unnecessary inefficiency in a market. It means capable people will be paid less, and less capable people paid more than the value their employment brings to their employer.

The West needs a better yardstick for the valuation of human existence than jobs and paychecks.
Well in web development, where I work, we use web frameworks that take care of the stuff that never changes between jobs, the constants. So I guess the question is, what are the constants for you between clients? Are you starting literally from scratch every job?

edit: What the other commenter said about documentation nailed it. THat’s where I was going anyway. You have to figure out the patterns you’re _already using_ to deliver software to your clients. “Reify” them. Make them into “official” tools in your official professional toolkit :)

As you get more experience recognizing the patterns you’ve already discovered with reason and instinct. You’ll start to recognize patterns between tools, and patterns between problems. And you will see more opportunities for tools/techniques that solve wide swaths of problems.

I have a kitchen drawer full of really handy React hook I’ve written over the past couple years, for example, that are generalized enough to work anywhere.

You have more first hands experience than I have as an offshore remote dev.

My experience is that to immigrate to America you have to study there first or be incredibly talented so that businesses have confidence to bring you there. After hundreds of applications to American companies that hires for fully remote roles, I got 3-4 replies on my application.

One of them asked me to reach out to their offshore offices rather than HQ at states. And that is from a funded startup with a 7 figure investment.
Maybe people who put in a ton of work get ahead. That's a big maybe. Sometimes people get ahead because they had the good fortune to be tapped for the big project. Sometimes they were in the right meeting and got tapped by the boss because they were in the room. Sometimes people get ahead because they're better at talking than doing.

But maybe you work hard, do more. What's the financial return on that, for a typical employee over your hypothetical "coasting employee"? 50%? 20%? Less?

Is it worth it? The stress, the extra hours, the opportunity costs?
> - XML starts with a version designator.

Which has proven to have zero real-world use case.

> - JSON allows arbitrary integers to be represented as numeric values. That works fine on its own, but it causes serious problems if you trust the name of the format, "JavaScript Object Notation". You can't do that in JavaScript objects.

That's not a problem with JSON, that's a problem with standardized JavaScript. I believe JSON was named before there was an official standard that required JavaScript implementations to be terrible.

> - JSON has no comments. Or version designators.

Indeed, and it's all the better for it.

I too, second the notion that dietary changes are often not enough. I’ve gone through periods of moderately heavy alcohol use and eating terribly as well as phases where I am not drinking and exercising 3-4x a week, eating healthily.

> The current CSS effort provides a style mechanism well suited to the relatively low-level demands of HTML but incapable of supporting the greatly expanded range of rendering techniques made possible by extensible structured markup. The counterpart to XML is a stylesheet programming language that is...Published in April, 1996, DSSSL is the stylesheet language of the future for XML documents.

I started building a custom JSON representation of HTML templates with embedded functions for importing fragments and generating markup etc and soon realized I was re-inventing XSLT [0] but kept going anyway. I haven't really seen another template language that can translate one DOM tree to another. It seems like XSLT is the eventual implementation of DSSSL in TFA, I'd be curious if anyone can speak to why it never caught on.

Is there a meteorologist or more likely a climatologist around who can explain this a bit better.

To the best of my knowledge (including a brief research trip to Wikipedia to make sure my brain wasn’t forgetting anything obvious) the Jet Stream doesn’t “normally” change direction like this. It can meander and shift the latitudes it passes over seasonally, but as far as I can tell, it generally goes west to east, and outside of meanders introducing localised north to south or south to north flows, a full “flip” like this isn’t normal… is it? And was this am expected (but possibly trivial) outcome of any well know climate change related model that could help put this change into context for those of us not working in the climate sciences?
paywalled :(

Not reading meandering meta articles about productivity makes me more productive.
I strongly disagree. Bad security is worse than no security. It's better to disable FaceID when the security of the system has been breached rather than to limp on regardless.
I'm pretty comfortable saying we should bring back XML. Not for RPC-ish protocols; JSON is a much better fit. But certainly every single place that YAML is used.
Most of the music on Napster was 128 kbps. Apple TV+ streams video at 40 Mbps.

I have no idea what this means in terms of numbers, but the fact that streaming video is so common today and was virtually non-existent back then means the bandwidth consumption of the average household is probably a couple orders of magnitude greater now.
XML is language-oriented, it's like a typical programming notation but without a parsing step (or, rather, with a standard parsing step). It's a very unusual thing in this aspect and, I guess, this is the source of all the misunderstanding.

E.g. it's very successful in things like layout/UI description, which is naturally language-like. And not that successful in data exchange applications, which is not language-like. (To exchange data with a language-like medium is like integrating programs by constructing their command lines; possible, but way less convenient than by using a library.)

If we are to compare it with something it would be Loglan or Lojban, not JSON. The difference is that it's a working and widely used Loglan. Something like this will have to be central to navigate a vast sea of documents, which is what Web was supposed to be. Web has changed quite a bit, but those documents didn't go anywhere and the problem is as acute as ever. More acute, I would say; in 1997 there wasn't that much content there.

> I doubt it would be very long until Mandarin developed into the dominant language.

I kinda doubt that, given its writing system.
Everything I’ve seen be called “dialectics” has either seemed like something trivial wrapped up in fancy language, or seemed to be something bunk [edit: or I didn’t understand it enough to have an evaluation of it]. I’m skeptical that it is a useful concept.

I mean, there’s game semantics, but as far as I’ve seen, there’s no reason to confuse the idea of that by appealing to “dialectics”.

Are there any examples of an insight which is uncontroversially regarded as an insight, and uncontroversially regarded as being first made as a result of viewing things in terms of “dialectics”?

Also, do you mean the law of the excluded middle, or the law of non-contradiction? [edit: I removed a part I said here because I realized I didn’t know what I was talking about with it. It referenced Kierkegaard, but, again, I didn’t know what I was saying.]

Refraining from affirming the law of the excluded middle can be useful at times, but I cannot accept the rejection (or non-affirmation) of the law of non-contradiction. If one thinks that one has a true contradiction, one is simply confused.

I am one of these people, and whether I was doing "real work" or not I can guarantee that I had a MUCH larger impact to the product & company while in management (growing the team, setting goals and finalizing roadmaps, assessing priority of different tasks/bugs/features, incentivizing and rewarding engineers) than I did coding and resolving Jira tasks all day.
XML Schema, unfortunately, won out over RelaxNG (https://relaxng.org/) which has a much more solid mathematical basis and (in my opinion) is much more direct and simple than XML Schema.
Thanks for the comment. I am generally a technique expert rather than the domain expert in a project, so your comments about "being an expert" definitely makes sense.
The end goal of mindfulness is to make you realize that you don't exist and that you have no free will, and there is no "you." With enough practice you will get there, and it's interesting to be able to meditate to the point where you briefly experience periods where you don't exist. Overall, while of course it's true that we have no free will and there is no "you", it's a terrible place to leave someone, especially as a therapeutic intervention. The only way I've found to keep on living happily is to basically ignore the outcome of mindfulness.
Ha, I always said 3, I never knew this existed...

You always see rookies make the mistake of just adding up the individual time of all the tasks - and engineers are famously bad at making horribly under-scoped estimates - so projects estimated this way have typically went over time by a factor of three or so as I've come to learn...
This is false. Journalists help their sources, all the time. Its a key part of journalism to develop sources that produce the truth of the story.

The idea that journalists are only allowed to publish what's handed to them serves the intelligence communities' purpose of being the only sources of righteous propaganda.

Apple doesn't have to permanently disable FaceID to maintain security; just require a password to log in after the screen has changed and reinitialize FaceID. And as another comment said "if the device detects any component has been tampered with, the user will be alerted during the first boot up".

It's funny you say that, as I'm starting to draft up a common core library (or SaaS) to share common techniques between projects and to streamline some of the constants.

It’s inherent to the security model due to cryptographic signing coupling the components. If you were able to swap out security components, you might be able to spoof messages - it would no longer be secure. A stolen phone could be connected to a fake sensor and used to trick the phone into authenticating.
> you don't exist and that you have no free will, and there is no "you."

Have you ever considered that all of this might be gobbledygook that obviously doesn't even serve you well?
Really? Idle, my Jellyfin instance has about 260MB resident right now. I don't think I've had any memory issues while in use; the old Mac Mini (running Linux) I have it running on only has 4GB total, and it's also running a couple Mono-based apps that are a bit more memory-hungry.
Idea of XML being superior to anything was the plague nearly everyone at the time caught. Evangelists would be the chosen one or so they thought.

Really? what cars are already doing this?

I don't drive a car but people in my family do(second hand Fords so no fancy expensive sport cars), and when they had issues(including replacing core engine stuff or electric stuff) the either bought some after market compatible part or went to the place where they scrap crashed cars and buy original parts from a destroyed car. It would suck if this cars for normal people will get DRMed to hell.

I oppose ruling via violence and murder. And generally, I think coercion needs to be justified, and often can be. When a child runs into a busy street, and yelling "stop" doesn't suffice, then you grab that child to keep it from run over. That's coercion, and perfectly fine in my books. As are taxes (as a general idea, of course the corrupt ways they're often spent aren't), and many other things.

And I know I am personally responsible, feeling doesn't enter into it. I'm not religious, and nobody can take the responsibility of judging and acting from me. There is nobody to hide behind, nobody to take orders from. The buck stops with me just like it stops with you.

"vehicle speed is not one of them (at least not directly). Yet the author and apparently others are intentionally driving slowly to boost their score? That doesn't make sense."

Makes LOT of sense, higher speed or driving at speed of rest of the traffic will require hard braking(>6m/h in 1sec) and turning.

Most insurance companies also seem to be offering these dongles which rate you based on your driving. What doesn't make sense is person can be "aggressive driver" without considering type and condition of their car. A performance car(BMW, Porsche etc.,) will be able to slow down or turn faster while being more safer than any CUV/SUV.

Give a bit more context on what you are already using so we are not shooting in the dark.

You are likely already using these:

With a typed language the compiler helps you refactor more efficiently.

No spaghetti code, instead move logic into coherent (ideally functional) libraries.

I’ve found the functional object-oriented style to give most flexibility for changes. (Ie. Animal.kill() doesn’t modify it but returns a new Animal object.) Copy-on-write everything, use appropriate data structures to make it efficient.
Companies typically switch to RSUs from option as they get closer to the IPO. Conversely if a company is offering RSUs then it’s a strong signal that they will go public within 18-24 months and also that the options have appreciated as much as they could as evaluated by private investors and so subsequent stock appreciation could only happen by public investors. Exceptions exist but it’s a good heuristic.
I understand re-infection is something to think about. But infecting others is not an argument, as vaccinated persons can infect as much as unvacinnated ones. This is proven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKFWGvvlVLI
