This response was initially confusing to me, but thinking about it, I think it led me to realize that complaints about things like this are, essentially, an attempt at coordination among consumers, in order to collectively get a better deal.

If there were only a single consumer, a monopsony, they would have a large degree of influence on the price.

Building a public consensus on what prices are reasonable and what prices are "too high" allows for exerting similar pressures on the price, as if there were an organization which represented a large portion of the consumers and which would make a single decision for all of that portion (like, a purchasing union thing).

I hadn't realized this.

I'm familiar with it... I now live nearby.

The furthest away from Madison, WI that I've found it in a store, however, was in a Festival Foods in Eau Claire, WI. I'm not sure how wide in other places it can be found. Like, can you find it in Chicago? Or Minneapolis? Or Des Moines?
That makes sense. I think the author would argue that the model is never needed, just go back to the actual population, and make inferences based on random sampling. From another prior blog post[1], he states:

"So what is the remedy here? The thing is, we already know the answer: if we randomized the assignment ... it is critical to decouple the randomness used to probe a system from the randomness inherent in its system itself. Statistical models are not necessary for statistical inference, but randomness itself is amazingly… let’s say… useful for understanding natural phenomena."

This makes sense to me if there's always a population that you can random sample. And yes, you'd have to sample a lot for the sample and population summaries to converge, but this seems fine in certain contexts (i.e. when you have access to computer simulations). Your counterpoint seems correct when you aren't able to randomly sample the population in this manner.

Would you agree with the author based on the specific framing I'm making (randomly sampling population beats building a probabalistic model if you are able to do the former). Again, I'm a stats novice so apologies if I'm making an obvious point.

Jobs that must be on-site (medical, manufacturing, etc.).

Going fully remote results in:

- Profit on real estate
- No/less expenses on utilities
- No expenses on relocation packages
- No expenses on custodial staff
- No/reduced expenses on office furniture

I mean, from a cost perspective, fully remote is clearly a big boon for a company. Either Microsoft is truly seeing reduced worker productivity from WFH, or there is another incentive, but it's not strictly economic.
I wonder if the price is being supported by people opening accounts in COMP hoping to get free money from the next mistake.

I'd be interested in seeing what the performance difference between the NGINX SSI and <?php echo $_ENV['SIGN_OUT_URL'] ?> is. Just because PHP _can_ be slow, doesn't mean it _must_ be slow.
I'm slightly afraid of the asking because of what answers parties might arrive to.

Someone pushing for intellectual property maximalism might see in NFTs a technical counterpart to the legal monopoly on the ownership of digital information. Why not encode the ownership of a copy of the newest game as a NFT, and then have the console check at startup? And similarlines of thought that I don't have the imagination to consider.
There’s nothing interesting here.

What are you going to achieve by stealing the certificate for edge0.sktelecom.geo.netflixcdn.com from the box you already have access to?

There’s no reason to put *.netflix.com certs on the edge caches.
My vision of this wouldn’t involve not accepting edits; but rather, the document would react to you trying to edit a locked block the same way macOS reacts to you trying to edit a locked document: offer to duplicate the block and then let you edit the duplicate. Both versions of the block would then appear in the document, perhaps with some annotation that they’re sibling forks of the same original text. (Compare and contrast: books that compare-and-contrast works with subtle changes between different versions, e.g. the four Gospels of the Bible.)

Also, I’m speaking about locking that’s fine-grained temporally as well as spacially: a line would only need to be locked with a ~10s TTL when a user begins to type in that line. Think of it like the user composing a transaction of modifications to the same line, and then committing it. A lot like typing a message into a chat program. Just the user having their cursor on the line, wouldn’t imply that the line is locked; it would only lock when they start typing.

This is already how group-chat apps work, mind you; if you’re an admin who can edit other people’s message lines, you nevertheless can’t edit someone else’s message line while they’re editing it. But they’re only considered to be editing it while they’re actively typing, and for a few seconds after that. If they go idle, someone else edits their message-line, and then you come back and try to submit your edit, it will be rejected. (Of course, that behaviour makes perfect sense for group chat software, where the only other people who can edit your text are moderators, and so moderation actions should “trump” user actions. In a p2p collaboration context, IMHO adding resistance/intentionality to per-line forking, but nevertheless allowing it, makes the most sense.)

Great question. C/C++ is definitely trending upward in 'safe software' systems even though it isn't ready and industry as a whole isn't (as far as I know) using Frama-C. Are Tesla/Google/Apple hiring Ada engineers to build the car autopilots that control whether we live or die? Nope, seems to all be C++, God help us all.

The author claims that one reason people are quitting is because of terrible interview processes. This doesn't make much sense to me because if they we working there they would necessarily have had to pass some kind of process in the first place. They also point to agism in tech -- which certainly exists and it's not great -- but suggest it applies to people as young as 30, and that's not particularly plausible.

I think you're disagreeing if your takeaway is to keep the door closed.
Most of these results are quite weak, especially those around the number of connections ("ties") a given worker has with those in other parts of the organization.

The only significant result I see is a decrease in time spent collaborating with others. There are two major confounds I see, neither of which is adequately addressed:

1. The study relies entirely on numbers of electronic communications (IM, email, voice and video calls), taking February as a baseline and measuring differences from that in following months. No apparent effort is made to account for in-person collaboration, or for the reduction to ~zero of messages relating specifically to the needs of in-person work. When everyone is remote, no one needs to ask who wants lunch or where everyone wants to go.

2. As the authors themselves acknowledge, they have no way to account for any impact, beyond the switch to WFH, of the COVID-19 pandemic. They attempt to fudge this by applying some multipliers whose derivation seems uncertain, and excuse it by saying that other studies using similar econometric methods do likewise.

For management interested in pushing against all sense to force workers back to the office status quo ante, this might make a useful argument assuming that no one they're attempting to persuade looks too closely at the paper. For anyone trying to understand accurately the impacts on work culture and output of a broad switch to WFH, I think there's little of value here.
Yea, I guess the fact that parties value risk differently, gives a little bit of room for positive sum transactions. But, given limited supply (of company shares) and large transaction volume in equity markets, this effect should be muted. That is, shortly after an IPO, I could see there being truly positive sum transactions as more risk-seeking investors enter the market. But, eventually, risk-aversion between buyer and seller should reach equilibrium and all future transactions will be largely zero-sum.

There's a great powerlifting archive tool (written in Rust!) called Open Powerlifting, and I am on their patreon for $3/month. Not huge obviously. But I love that it's the best place online to get powerlifting results, it doesn't have any ads for anything, and it is first and foremost a high-touch labor of love from powerlifters to help the community.

Edit: I realized I'm still a patron (per episode so it does not matter) for the defunct podcast Lambda Cast. This isn't quite sponsoring an open source dev but it seemed related.

CRDT is really a multi-master model with eventual consistency. It's not merely a cache but also operates as a master and source of truth. With a well-built CRDT you can also skip the server and sync client-to-client where both have master copies.

The tricky part is conflict resolution.
what a straw man you are making. It is meaningless to diminish the wants/needs of one by comparing to some arbitrary level of poverty in the world.

Everyone desires self actualization, and that is different for each person. If you are highly creative and technically competent, then yes, endless meetings are a detriment to that goal. A starving Hatian doesn't negate that.
I like my anonymity; but it was a brand name. Had more than one classmate whose parents were billionaires and many others who were children of sub-billionaire fortune 100 executives; it was the kind of place they sent their kids to learn the unspoken rules of the game.
Delete Coinbase.
Another advantage is that making your own x from scratch is fun and satisfying. Mayonnaise, mustard, soda, barbecue sauce, gravlax, liver sausage — it's fun to see the things people buy ready-made, and know you have the knowledge and ability to do it yourself. Sometimes it's enough better to be worth the effort; sometimes, like catsup, you find that the store-bought is better — but you still have the fun of doing it and the satisfaction of knowing for sure.
One thing I usually highlight about the Moon Landing (1969) is that the delivered not just people on the moon, but it was broadcast live!

We can still appreciate that as a mind-blowing achievement! And it might put a damper on the enthusiasm for a delayed video of a wet drone.. :)

Streak | Senior Frontend Engineer | REMOTE (north america timezones) |

https://www.streak.com/careers/product-engineer

Streak is CRM for your inbox. Most business users have inboxes that are filled with emails to do with various processes they work on - sales, hiring, fundraising, deals & support. Streak is built right into Gmail where those workflows are already happening.

Lead a small and high performing frontend engineering team at Streak. We work on highly technical projects (like a performant spreadsheet that can render millions of cells). You’ll own projects from start to finish and learn how to ship high quality software. Our team has an outsized impact given its size - millions of dollars of profit per engineer and the ability to improve the lives of millions of Gmail users without actually working at, ahem, a large bureaucratic company.
State of the Global Climate Observing System 2021
IMO, much of the low engineering standards in software is from a (potentially false) awareness in the industry that most products we work on simply aren't that valuable. If a bug deletes my Twitter account, that sucks to me be for a day but no real harm was done. The people who work in banking or healthcare IT tend to know better and have correspondingly higher (though still shockingly low) standards.
When I call it's almost always a follow up to a text
I never said anything about any specific conflict. You're putting words in my mouth, and I quite frankly find it rude. I get to decide what goes in, it's the only decision I have as I can't control what comes out.
When those tracks are thought to be inaccurate they can easily be edited with a sharpie.
Both, just like many things in tech.

I don't believe in users hosting content for other users either. However, why don't users host their own content. I would not let anyone to host anything made by me that took me more than 15 minutes of effort. My stuff, my rule.
I've donated a tiny amount to Crystal.

I hope that once they get a full IDE-experience (debugging, autocomplete, etc) that it will really take off.

But this question has prompted me to think more about who/what to donate to more, especially to those that have vastly impacted my digital life. Some off the top of my head:

- homebrew -- it's wild to image the times before homebrew
- @tpope -- I use vim a lot less these days but Tim Pope has been an incredibly prolific plugin writer
- linux foundation / fsf - obvi
- Languages: Clojurists together, Crystal, etc.

thanks for the references, and the followup comment.
That sounds unlikely, but if true, is... impressive? That's a non trivial product launch that has been a pretty big deal.
i agree with the essence of your comment. the "back in my day" is what is, perhaps, causing resistance.

my impression these days is that web engineers have outnumbered other software engineers. that's a problem because context matters as you are alluding to.

we shouldn't use terms like "offline first" without an appropriate context. or assume context.

Interesting points about PL/I. The more I hear about the 60s/70s in computer science, the more I wonder what exactly happened. I've heard a lot about interesting things existing at this point, and people just rediscovering them recently. I don't know much about this time, and know even less about other engineering disciplines, so I'm not sure if it's specific to computer science. Or maybe open source means that we actually hear about it, and when 10 companies design the almost same kind of wheel in a NIH here fashion we don't hear about it? I wish we had a bit more of a focus on history in our field.
"Between March and May 20, 2021, you were a victim of a third-party campaign..."

There were a spat of Coinbase SMS phishing texts in July 2021. So the window could be much longer, and the campaign ongoing.
What innovation? MS is a boring profit maximizing corporation. Unless stuffing Windows with ads is their definition of innovation.
