People are to polite to be overtly racist. You're totally right about eastern Europeans though. Hungarians, Romanians, etc. do a lot of the crap work so they get looked down on. (Pretty standard Marxist analysis there). What I mean about Racism vs racism though is they don't get red lined put of home ownership or disproportionately harassed by the cops though. At least as far as I am aware.

> true integration

I don't believe full integration happens until the second generation. We immigrants will always be from somewhere else. Their kids have a foot in both worlds. Their kids are fully from where they live. I could be wrong; these were my observations living with a large number of immigrants in Seattle.
Irish being the native language of Ireland is just barely more impactful than the native language of New York being Lenapese.
Agree with the other commenter, this definitely needs more details to describe the nature of the breakthrough. Sophisticated CAD in the browser is not a new thing. For example, Onshape is a CAD application meant for design and manufacturing of rather sophisticated products, and the user portion runs in the browser.

Hydrogen used for energy storage on the electric grid is mentioned in the article, but I’m fairly skeptical of this becoming economically viable. Hydrogen storage costs and losses over time are currently very similar to those in battery energy storage. But batteries are dropping in price very quickly and the component technologies for hydrogen storage (electrolysis, containment, turbines/fuel cells) are dropping much more slowly. So I suspect batteries will win this market and not hydrogen.

The place where hydrogen might be helpful on the grid is injecting hydrogen into the natural gas pipeline and generation systems. That way the generation and storage (line packing, tanks) come from existing infrastructure. However there are limits on how much can be added (5% of the mix usually), some unanswered questions about what it will do to the equipment, and the likelihood that this infrastructure will be shut down in the late stages of decarbonization.
Agreed. It is a very noisy country, wherever there are humans. There are neighborhoods / streets that are on average nicer, but you are as you mentioned not in control of it. The street I live in is actually almost dead quiet at night. The loudest sound I hear is my fridge.
On the flip side, in the 3 story house I grew up in Switzerland we got complaints from the neighbor downstairs because apparently we closed the water faucets to harshly after 10pm.

I usually balance city living, which I very much enjoy (if there doesn't happen to be a pandemic), with spending longer weekends in nature.
Indeed; people in the tech community often think of themselves as somehow especially rational, and sometimes as hyper-logical with reduced biases, but that's just the tech community's particular self-delusion. The tech community contains the full spectrum just like every other.
I wonder how long they will stay a "Gold Microsoft Partner" after this.

And suddenly it became legal to decompile code to find exploits. Awesome!
I guess I would recommend some self-compassion, first of all, because this is a historically miserable time and you are muddling through the same as everyone else. The pandemic may not be the time in your management career when employees seemed happiest.

I think you're right that direct asking sometimes doesn't work. Furthermore, it's easy to confuse private outside-of-work issues for hidden burnout. I have begrudgingly revealed personal problems because it seemed like the best way to stop my manager sleuthing and keep my job safe. I then had to put on a fake smile for all the free advice and unsolicited personal stories I got. The only catharsis was my manager's.

So if "inbound" info seeking can be dangerous, I guess that leaves companies with "outbound" burnout interventions, like surprise days off and "optional" happy hours. Also tricky. Events might make an organizer with power feel good but if they're upsetting the forced attendees, the organizer will be the last to know. Maybe it's best to seek a lot of anonymous feedback on these "rewards"

Third possibility after detecting or relieving burnout is preventing it. This means managers modeling boundaries and self-care. Take needed sick days and do not "excuse" yourself by confessing what you're sick with. Shut the laptop at 5pm and set an overnight away message. Remind people to make plans to use their benefits. Refuse some emergencies.

Sadly, trust is more easily destroyed than built. The management team needs to be honest about which way accountability flows in the company: does it just go from managers to underlings, or do underlings regularly and safely point out problems? Skip-level meetings might prevent people from creating hidden "rules" inside the company ("this team stays til 7", "yeah that employee is abusive but we accommodate them because they're good at programming and our team works on critical systems", "don't talk to anyone outside the team without telling me first")

Sounds like you are a good manager for caring about this issue. Best of luck

>The point of that story is, regulations aren’t reality in many of these places. They may be there but in reality...

All it takes is a nosy neighbor to report you (which might even be newcomers to the community), and you'll be surprised how soon they can be a reality.

Again, you'd be surprised.

Had the same thought, but upon investigation I don't see the incentive for the vendor to do something shady with it.

They have a clear business model: Develop software for Windows that companies need. See their About page: https://www.oo-software.com/en/company

Hence, it is clear what benefit they draw from releasing this software for free: Marketing. They are not in the business of brokering user data or mining bitcoin covertly. This tool isn't even installed, it's "run once". To me, that's about as trustworthy as it could be.

I don't understand Google's relationship with Flutter. It's clearly not the basket they're putting most of their eggs in, but it got a pretty top spot in the I/O keynote this year, so it's not like they aren't putting weight behind it. I had some experiences with a Flutter app, and it's not a language or framework for me, but I for sure don't follow Google's logic in keeping it alive when they aren't super visibly using it themselves.

Windows 95, the pinacle of UI design. Honorable mentions: Gnome 2 with Clearlooks or Mac OS 9.

IMHO this is a sensible decision, one that reflects the clear underlying intention of the statute. Article 5(1) of the Directive says:

> [certain acts] shall not require authorization by the rightholder where they are necessary for the use of the computer program by the lawful acquirer in accordance with its intended purpose, including for error correction.

Essentially, they have ruled that other Articles in the Directive do not supersede this Article, and that reverse engineering to correct an error can be necessary.

This court, the CJEU, has good form on sensible decisions regarding computing. For example, SAS vs World Programming (C‑406/10) allowed reverse engineering for interoperability. That case, also, was the court upholding the clear intention of the statute. Moreover there was UsedSoft vs Oracle (C-128/11), allowing the resale of software licences, including the right to download the software where necessary, upon purchasing a second hand licence.
Are these light-field displays?
>I don't consider Peirce's racism relevant

Relevant to what? The subject, so far as I can tell, is Pierce's intellectual legacy. Is discussion of his views on race allowed or not allowed?

I honestly don't know. But what I do know is that whenever people try to calvinball into existence a special rule that we're not allowed, in a comment section of all places, those rules tend to grate me the wrong way.
Apple files appeal in Epic Games case, delaying App Store changes for years
> O&O Software GmbH was established in 1997 in Berlin, Germany by Oliver Falkenthal and Olaf Kehrer. The idea for the name “O&O” originated back in 1991 in the form of O&O Systemtechnik GbR, a company offering software specifically for students whilst the two founders were still studying. The name “O&O” came about spontaneously, as both founders first names begin with the letter “O”. In 1998, on the 10th February to be exact, O&O Defrag V1.0 was released, and the company that you see today was born.

1. The high yield defi and centralized funds which have offered 9-20% on stablecoins. That’s ponzi level interest

> Eg. nowadays personal pronouns are complicated business but finding out and respecting individuals chosen pronouns are considered polite. A successful change of culture that increases empathy and respect of fellow humans in general.

In one way, that is of course true, and people who just blithely ignore that, or even explicitly refuse to use the pronouns they're asked to, are of course arseholes.

But OTOH, it feels like it's getting more and more to keep track of -- at least if you also want to keep up the old norms of "good behaviour" we learned as kids. And perhaps that's precisely why some of us are feeling those old norms are falling by the wayside -- maybe people only have some set amount of attention to spend on this stuff, and if something new is added, something else gets crowded out?

If that's the case, do we know for sure that it's unequivocally a good thing? I'm not quite certain.

> An thoughts on incinerating toilets?

I haven't researched them because I found the price a bit ridiculous. Where I live sewage is not regulated at all so $4k sounds like an overkill. If it's mobile and durable and you like the idea, heck why not?

> I’ve had good success with an ~40L pot of water on the wood-stove/gas-stove

That's a pretty cool one. We went against wood because it's messy (it's enough hassle the heat the house with it) and a gas one is basically the water heater we have in a less compact version I guess.
>I find it amazing that these regulations exist but apartments aren't even required to have AC.

If anything, regulations should discourage having AC -- to reduce the energy consumption...
It depends a lot on the company in the US.

If we're including holidays, I've seen plenty of companies that do 4 weeks PTO + 8-9 holidays which is just shy of 6 weeks, and there some that do 5-6 weeks PTO after you've been there for a number of years.

But there are also ones where you basically get no PTO. Presumably (hopefully?) you get paid more money to work at these places, but I've never found them worth investigating.

The rational answers to both these questions is to accept we don't know (whether a fetus has a soul or how many genders) and stop trying to force whatever unproven answer we personally prefer onto everyone else. If you don't believe in abortion, don't get one. If you think there are 2 genders, pick from those. But don't act like you have some concrete proof you're right when you don't...

I don't think anybody knew the cap table for those companies. To be more precise: one of them didn't even have a cap table, the other was a secret between the lead investor and the original owner (an incubator). Needless to say nothing was disclosed to engineers, or any one of them for that matter. Even in this state, both companies raised a shitton of money.
People bemoan the dissolution of boundaries between work and personal life, then go around passionately advocating for the further dissolution of those boundaries.
This may be too blasphemous for some people but Democrats appease lobbyists and donors by adding regulations to law and Republicans appease lobbyists and donors by cutting regulations from law.

Independents, moderates and third parties strike a balance between regulation and deregulation depending on their platform and beliefs.

California usually only elects Democrats. So California has a ton of regulations.

When chrome came, all other major browsers supported RSS natively. Opera, Firefox, even internet explorer let you view RSS in a readable format back then. Chrome only opened rss as XML.

But they had Google Reader to make up for it, and then they took it down. I blame Google/Chrome for downfall of RSS/Feeds in general. Chrome left all other web browsers behind but never add native RSS reading support. And slowly websites started dropping feeds.

Now they are back at it again with the the trendy word "Follow" which isn't exactly feeds are. Chrome should have native RSS/Atom feeds support. It might revive feeds. I just don't like the whole process and the way they are coming back to it.
Probably as long as they pay the golden partner fee (some 3800 eur/year).

It is not a matter of having incentives. It is a matter that they can abuse and you simply have no way to check or control it.

Lovely how on mobile, the reddit page is blocked: you need the app to access it.

Do you really believe that anyone who has the intention to find exploits cares about whether decompilation is legal or not?
Well, so far it's how Fan Translations of videogames have largely avoided legal scrutiny: they distribute the translation as a ROM patch, but it's up to the end-user to track down the actual ROM / game dump.

Reverse engineering for interoperability has been legal in the EU since at least the 1991 Software Directive.

Yes, there's a requirement for interoperability, but "interoperability" is construed broadly. Interoperability in law relates to "interfaces", including APIs, and compatible file formats. Conceivably the term could also be used to describe an antivirus program which protects the program in question.

That's good this is allowed. Besides, bad faith actors will reverse engineer for malicious purposes, regardless of the law.
It's a cheapish pump similar to this https://www.mmcwebshop.com/products/b5b179a61e4/353720000001....

Not too concerned about durability yet (way too happy with the fact of having water!), but time will tell. The previous pump we used was the same and it handled about a decade or two of abuse and sandy wells (though not in a short lived fashion as you say).

The buffer tank is a good solution but we were actually advised by professionals to go with this slightly more compact and cheaper option. I suspect you are right though.
Vast majority of startups will not disclose cap table, outstanding shares, liquidation preference, nothing. Try asking and see how it goes. The only one I've interviewed with that does disclose some of it was Stripe.

I've not done any in-depth analysis of this app, but have used it on a machine that required windows 10 at the time. My family and friends have also used it. I can say that after they use it, the DNS activity to the Microsoft tracking endpoints appears to stop and other DNS activity is reduced but I am no windows expert so I can not say for sure if 100% of telemetry is truly nullfied. The real time dependencies on the activity DNS/HTTPS endpoints does appear to be removed after usage. From a network perspective it does stop the "chattyness" of Windows 10.
...as a historian I agree ;)
Ever call Fidelity phone support and hear "enter your password on the keypad"? That means collapsing ~62 chars into 10 char options, a massive space reduction.

The Java ecosystem has a deeply engrained habit of doing expensive time-consuming things at startup too, like classpath scanning, eager caching and dependency injection, etc.

GraalVM has a bunch of tradeoffs…executables can’t be cross-compiled, anything using reflection or other dynamic features are difficult to compile, only a subset of the standard library is (was?) supported, etc.

Honestly there are much better languages to use for compiled CLIs these days, I would still steer clear of Java for CLI tools unless you need to reuse existing code.

But I do agree with you that Java/JVM is a decent option for a WM, but using GraalVM would ruin all the nice properties of the JVM for that use case (JIT + dynamism).
Perhaps because it informs our future investments. If we see some communities are thriving and others are not, it may be more prudent to live or invest where there is more potential of future prosperity.
