There is a group of people who a 5 hour commute would be preferable because they hate their homelife. There are always people better off working more or staying out longer would make life easier. Trading 10 hours of commuting time for 10 hours of naps is something that could be addressed by going to sleep earlier and now those 10 hours can be family time. We shouldn't be going into offices for these secondary effects.

There is no "selection process." The only people eligible to participate in federal "democracy" are already rich, powerful, and well-connected. The voters then "choose," in primaries and elections, based mostly on who has the best marketing, which is again a function of wealth and power. Occasionally participants in this process will throw ordinary citizens a bone as part of the marketing, but even these gestures are largely emaciated and performative. There's not some solemn exercise of civic duty going on.

2,000 years ago people born into wealth and power fought amongst each other for leadership and control while the population simply learned to live with the results. The only thing that has changed since is that the process has been optimized: less bloodshed, less constant dramatic upheaval, the hills and valleys leveled a bit. This benefits everyone, including those on top. But let's not pretend we're engaged in some grand experiment for the betterment of mankind. We're living in a plutocracy. Always have, always will.
That sounds like a very specific bootloader that you're using

ESP-IDF is still very nice though, and being CMake based makes it easy to integrate outside code

It supports serial based uploads, which are still pretty nice with the bundled serial monitor (one key combo to build, upload, and restart) and OTA uploads

> If there are cons to the employer, that means I'm worth less and can demand less salary (...)

During the industrial revolution, some employers saw that there were significant pros in employing children and working them 12 to 14 hours a day for a fraction of a grown man's salary. Not being able to employ children was a significant con.

How did "the market" handled that?

There's more to life than what's convenient to corporations, and the despair of self-hating employees to think that self-deprecarion is a competitive sport.

> What is a typical workflow of how to verify a program?

If you mean an existing program, it is usually not done that way. Instead, you develop the program and the proofs at the same time, so they go hand and hand with each other.

If you just mean checking exhaustiveness of a case statement, compilers can often do that for you.
I think scam product review sites already make heavy use of content generators like this. It is so frustrating to click on a "review page" for a product and, after a couple of paragraphs, realize that what you are reading is just grammatically correct word salad, with no real meaning.
I like this in outline -- the notion that what you could call the "acute" effects (e.g. its impact on the news cycle) of a story like this may be more visible and less important than its "chronic" effects inside institutions, where people take more serious notice. (That's if I'm reading you right.)

I guess what I'm less sure about is the inevitability that you're painting it with. Seems a bit "whiggish" [1], in my reading, if for no other reason than seeing brighter days on this front in the past than in the present and immediate future.

You can't really prove or disprove whether an economic theory is a good choice or not for a country at a specific time.

How are you going to measure the outcomes and for how long will you measure them?

The problem with economics is how politicised this field is and how the best theory ends up being what's best for governments and politicians. Is mainstream economics what's more convenient for the 1% or what's best for the world?

We will never know what the economy would be if we weren't so Keysian. Maybe we wouldn't have a crisis every 10 years.
A butterfly flapping its wings would disagree with that.
The age-adjusted concept is "life expectancy at year n".

That is precisely equivalent to "additional years of survival at year n plus year n".

The alternative notion I'd suggest is "anticipated mortality at year n for those born in year m". The latter would show a typical "bathtub" mortality curve, high initially, then lower, then climbing in late age.

Note too that the image I'd posted is literally a representation of survivorship bias: the longer an individual has survived, the longer they're likely to continue to survive.
> [...] found it very weird, and outright unbelievable, that someone was arguing that commutes were "far more effective for unwinding".

Ex (multi) FAANG engineering director here. I personally find that a 30 minute commute home is more effective for separating work and home than just the clock. The data published (by MSFT) shows employees are working more hours now than ever before.

Now, those pale in comparison to things like on-call rotations, email on Cell Phones, Slack & Team's notifications on mobile, etc. The Amazon practice of "DevOps SDEs are always on-call" that's spread across the industry makes disengaging from work in order to engage with family & friends generally impossible, even on vacation.

No. Russian Zircon is to deal with the next after nuclear strategic threat to Russia - US aircraft carrier groups. US pursue hypersonic weapons for different purpose - fast global much less than nuclear strike capability, ie. being able to strike any given target anywhere in like under half an hour. And thus not really much of hypersonic development in US - the cheap ballistic would do it better, especially with SpaceX driving down the cost of it. DOD is already excited that almost immediate delivery of 100ton, ie. instead of several C-130, payload by Starship anywhere in the world looks to be under $50M.
I'm not even sure about this, tbh.

At my work, like most other works, productivity didn't go down with remote, and the company saved massively on office space.

It seems the people pushing for more office-time are in management, and this situation leads me to question the extent to which this change helps _their_ role rather than the company, and by extension their ability to manage their own conflicts of interest.
Sure but then you get into the situation where even though the full name is Emergency Department they still refer to it as the ER and not the ED.

It did died a slow death (about 7 years after Ajax), but IMHO it was the beginning of the end. There were a tonne of factors, including iron ore prices, trade tarrifs, the car industry crash in Detroit etc, but for us, I think Ajax shutting should have raise alarm bells that the end was nigh (rather than throwing hundreds of millions more to prop up foreign nations in the name of local jobs).

A good rule of thumb I have is if a politician is there at a ribbon cutting, and talks about jobs, then it's nothing more than vote buying in disguise.
I used to commute ~40 minutes each way by streetcar. I spent the time sardined in with the other unfortunate folk, one hand on a strap, the other on my Kindle. Every day I cursed SFs oversubscribed transit system.

Switching to WFH was way better. But I was reading a sci-fi book a week on the commute, after the shift I was lucky to get in four a year.

In theory I could set aside 80 minutes a day for personal reading, but in practice it feels incredibly selfish to not help with the family and housework.

Do I want to go back to muni hell? No. But I can understand how someone might have enjoyed their (non-car) commute. I will shoot myself before I ever go back to driving an hour each way on the 101 though.
1.Curate your relationships more harshly.

2.Ready meals are better than no meals.

3.It is not your responsibility to rescure people from situations they put themselves in because they want to be rescued.

4.You don't have to pay your dues by working shit low wage dead end jobs for no reason - just apply for what you actually want to do.

5.Job stability is an illusion.

6.Be wary of people who encroach on your goals and achievements.

7.You are not a side character or an audience, and your life is not a stage for other people to trample across.

8.Wash your damn hands and don't hang out in enclosed spaces with people with contageous illnesses.

9.Buy non-synthetic clothes only.
Doesn’t work like that when your coworkers are working extra hours because they’re also not commuting.

You're measuring the cons in terms of labor productivity, which I am no longer convinced is what is driving executive behavior.

Frankly, I think that executives get a big ego boost seeing hundreds of workers working in an office of their design, and they miss that. I think that's why their arguments for returning to the office come across as ... strange and unpersuasive; they don't actually have a productivity based argument for returning to the office and they're trying to shoe horn one in anyways.
The biggest difference between hypersonics and swarms of slow missiles is that the hypersonics can get there fast enough that you might not need high-quality targeting information. That's definitely a strategic advantage!

The commute was a form of exercise, I'd clock up several miles each day (most people don't drive into London. They usually take the train).

However I do completely agree with you about going for a run. That was the one commute replacement activity which I did find worked for me. Unfortunately the UK's weather often discourages one from non-mandatory forms of exercise. When it's raining, it is far easier to be motivated to walk home from the train station than it is to leave the house to go running. This is obviously a poor excuse but it is still the pragmatic truth of the matter.

I agree with you I started working as a contractor before the pandemic and I don't have a spare bedroom for office. It was fine before my son was born but at this point it's not very productive. If I was living in a house it would be a different matter.

Paying for a small office/coworking desk close to home at my own expense > commuting to office on a daily basis. And I absolutely love that I can work from random airbnbs when I want to travel.

Remote first allows a lot of flexibility even if you have offices.
> impromptu walks

Make them non-impromptu. Since the pandemic started I have made a 20 minute lunch walk, and a longer (30-90 minutes) walk part of my work-from-home routine. I have maybe skipped one if them five days the last 18 months.

This evening I walked 7k in 12C and a light drizzle, so the weather isn’t great here either.

On the other hand, I live alone and enjoy walking so I realize that it is perhaps nit as easy for everyone.
I have to disagree with this.

Working for a flexible work arrangement employer has made me appreciate the following alternatives to what I used to consider pros of working in the office.

- Hall way chats are now Slack chats. These are more likely to be in the open and allow more participants. When gathering feedback or ideas this allows interested parties to participate asynchronously, which they may not have been able to do in person.

- Quick tap on the shoulder assistance or conversations. These were always a little disruptive. With Slack statuses and huddles, I'm finding we can have explicit do-not-disturb signals and when everyone is ready, a quick low-friction way of having a discussion.

- Group meetings. There was always a limit to the effectiveness of this depending on the make up of the group and the size of the group. Being forced online means it's even more obvious when people are not comfortable participating. The solution being more async collaborative RFC-style processes before meeting in Zoom to discuss only the points of difference.

- Recordings. Often we would need to take notes, etc. Now everything can be recorded. Minutes are still good, but no longer need to be taken all the time. If the meeting was a bust and nothing of value was gained, you don't need to type it up. If something important was discussed, you don't have to rely on memory and can transcribe off the recording.

All of the above I consider to be a benefit to both the employer and employee as it allows for greater flexibility in how and when we interact and automated digitisation means a much easier process of persisting and communicating institutional knowledge that is being created among a group.
Not in Seattle. Today was forecast as a dry day (even this morning), but it rained. I tend to do better just by stepping outside, sniffing the air, and looking at the clouds. It's not expertise on my part, just experience.
I thought Linux was mentioned due to Android. Regardless, what gear exactly is using Linux under the hood? AFAIK most (if not all) audio production is done on Mac/Windows, so I'm not sure how much more audiophile you can get than people actually making the music.

> You’re taking that quote completely out of context, it has nothing to do with windows and doesn’t mention windows.

This is the only article on Tidal page about Dolby Atmos, and I'd assume they would mention if they supported it? There is also no mention of supposed Windows support on Dolby website.

> That’s specifically referencing hooking up Bluetooth headphones to your TV. Not windows.

e.g. = for example; I assume they won't mention all possible scenarios.

Since we are talking about personal experience: I was trying to get Dolby Atmos to work on Tidal/Windows a few days ago via HDMI, without success, but playing movies with Atmos works. I haven't tried with headphones, but since there is no official confirmation, it's fair to assume it doesn't work.

Wage slave engineers are starting to wake up? Talent is well underpaid and treated like commodity.
IMO, economics is an area that will continually be hampered by models that don't fit, and increasing complexity.

Any model that predicts things simply and well, will be gamed; thus requiring a more complex model.

Or as Goodhart's Law[1] has it: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

That's presuming we never reach some economic state so perfect, that even with an accurate model, no one can find an extra advantage, nor can it be disrupted by natural events.

A lot of seeds don’t need frequent watering to germinate. One heavy water to start and then keep it damp, not wet. If the ground is too cold many seeds will just rot. Seed trays make it easier to manage the temperature and water. Beans in particular like one watering when planted and no more until they germinate.
That only works if your rate of tangential acceleration is quite low. The reason why you'd make an airbreathing hypersonic instead of a ballistic missile is so it could manoeuvre.
As I understand there are some models in both Econ and Finance where they literally took equations from thermodynamics and just said “what if this variable represented money instead of heat”.

Current FAANG engineer here. I totally disagree, and the numbers support my case. My organization saw a jump in productivity when switching to WFO accompanied by a considerable increased in job satisfaction.

WFO, accompanied by flexible work hours, allowed everyone in my team to benefit from more personal time and also opportunities to research topics of interest, which already paid off in the product we developed.
We've observed perhaps the closest thing to alien intelligence in the form of intelligent cephalopods -- like squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish. What surprises me about octopuses is how, despite a brain structure that diverged from our lineage perhaps billions of years ago and is vastly different from ours (they have a small central brain and enormously innervated tentacles each with its own local processing), they manifest what we readily recognize as affection and contempt for their human caretakers. They will nuzzle a favored human with their tentacles, and squirt water at a disliked human through their siphon. They do not need to be trained to do this. Either they are capable of experiencing emotional bonds broadly similar to ours and our terrestrial pets', or they are very, very good at faking it.

I didn't use to think this way, but now if we ever met an alien species, it wouldn't surprise me if we had enough cognitive and emotional common ground to establish meaningful relations provided they are carbon-based lifeforms or analogous.
looks inviting!

It probably is scripted to an extent. Someone linked to outtakes where it's clear they had the subject say the same line multiple times, so it's clear the conversation wasn't entirely off-the-cuff.

Government regulation is different because it forces everyone on the even footing, there is no-one to out compete you.

Eliminating competition on the labor side of the market is also different, because while it hurts companies, it also makes employees be in higher demand. That's also a relevant difference here.

So, your analogy is just a poor one...

But while I'm at it, you'll notice that for the kinds of business that are easily shipped over seas (where the government regulations don't apply) and you can be outcompeted by people using child labor and paying below minimum wage (another case of government regulation) that did happen to an extent, see textile manufacturing for instance.
The no-remote mandate is just a symptom. The root cause appears to be Smith.

> broad internal distaste for Smith [...] reflected in the job site Glassdoor, which shows that just 19% of employees approve of Smith’s leadership. That’s sharply below the approval for other space executives, as Glassdoor shows 91% of SpaceX employees approve of CEO Elon Musk and 77% of United Launch Alliance approve of CEO Tory Bruno.
What’s the difference there versus workers who lived very close to the office? If a coworker is working harder than you, good for them. If that makes them more valuable, paid more, promoted faster, or whatever, so be it. At least with remote work, you could choose the same path as them if you wanted to.
The wealthy hiding their wealth doesn’t matter until we have a wealth tax. The current system is based on income, sales and a little bit of property taxes (which is hard to hide.)
There are creeps in the management also supporting it because they like to watch people especially women. It's disgusting.
Thanks for sharing this. I come from Django land and am very interested in competitive substitute python web frameworks based on FastAPI.

Good. Insisting on forced commute is like insisting that horses are superior to motor vehicles. It’s living in the past. The sooner these companies are punished the sooner we can move on. If you work for a company that’s making you go back to the office AND you have other work options, I’d highly recommend quitting.

It's probably an evolutionary adaptation.

Whenever we humans find something unique or special, we either take it and store it somewhere safe or mark it on a map. The prehistoric individuals who did that would be more likely to happen to have just the right thing for surprise challenges. They would then have an advantage over those who didn't care about special things, because by definition they're hard to come by. And those surprise challenges often have asymmetric upside for those who have a solution, because everyone else is desperate for a solution or because they can solve the problem drastically more efficiently than everyone else.

At the same time, mundane things aren't worth collecting because it's easy for anyone to go out and get it, so there exists no advantage for the collector.

Therefore, if individuals who collected rare things ended up with more resources, power, and the resulting reproductive success, it also makes sense that young humans would do the same early on and that collecting rare things regardless of their utility is one of the most important status signals.
