> All recruiters that email me in office work are ignored

I would write a short reply that you won't consider their offers solely because of the office work requirement. Otherwise they can't be certain why they're being ignored. Make it abundantly clear why you're not interested. So when their managers grill them for low performance they can show them: Here boss, people aren't biting because we're asking them to come into the office. We need to change this asap.
Having worked primarily remote for the last 10 years I welcome this change in general but also somewhat lament the loss of the old status quo.

It's great because now many others that weren't as fortunate as me are now able to experience something I have had for a long time, many of my friends and family are enjoying new freedoms and greater amounts of personal time because commutes have been eliminated etc.

The downside (however minor) is I can't easily use this as the same proxy for "company I think I would like to work for" that I did in the past. My old formula for evaluating opportunities was to filter for places that would accept full time remote and then filter for those willing to pay full market rates and then decide from there. The latter half of that funnel is still likely to be highly effective as companies attempt to lowball people by making it out like remote is some sort of luxury but the entry to the funnel just got a whole lot bigger so I need to do a ton more filtering now.

I'm optimistic though, this has opened up a lot of companies I otherwise would have liked to work for but had draconian hiring policies w.r.t fully remote.

You can literally just do `wsl.exe --install` on the newest builds of Windows 10 and it enables the hypervisor feature and downloads Ubuntu in one command. AFAIK it's the same in Windows 11 (I'm still on 10 and don't plan on upgrading for a few years at least).
Thank you! I’m definitely guilty of mongoose-ing and diagnosing in my bug reports so this is very helpful!
You can't interpret any fact without an internal model of how the universe works. That model is a "side" and compared to any other model, has a difference called "bias".

There is presumably one true model that matches reality best. You could call that "unbiased", but since nobody can reliably identify it, we're stuck with bias.
IANAL, but afaik prosecution is based on intent rather than buy/sell volume. There isn't a prescribed dollar/percentage amount that separates legal/illegal behavior.

You may not realize it but you're just rewriting hooks here. The example you give is too simple to show the problems with your initial approach. The main one is that if you're not extremely careful about when you're writing and when you're subscribing, you're going to end up with a race condition. Similar problems if you call "subscribe" in the wrong place. This is not a safe solution to the problem, and it does not circumvent the need for rules about usage.
Not yet I don't think. They're very new and working with limited resources right now.

You could potentially find some vinyl wraps for it. Dbrand sells them.
For example: I’d be very curious to learn about the actual mechanism by which the supposed “_NSAKEY backdoor” would work. I’m not interested in the private key if that’s what you mean by method :)

AFAICT it doesn’t, you can’t hit those code paths unless you already have access to the machine.

(This is a pretty unfair example though, _NSAKEY is the “Bush did 9/11” of backdoors.)
I imagine you're probably right. But I still don't understand - why not have a single Tweet, with a summary of a blog post running on your own domain? Wouldn't that make you even more internet famous?

I don’t see software engineering going fully remote. I certainly hope not; I’d have to retrain. The last 19 months have been enough to convince me I’ll never voluntarily do WFH for more than a day or so a time again.
I'm also not against corona vaccines, but I'm definitely against making them mandatory or having mandatory pressure on this. If it had been 10+ years on market and known to be safe, I would maybe consider it, but there's data and reports coming in of risks that were never mentioned in the early 2021. What other risks aren't we aware of yet, if it took us so long time to find out about those.

And, I would be fine with using a cheap testing kit each morning before going out.

But I want to be able to choose to have enough data to feel comfortable about taking this vaccine. Is that too much to ask?
I would prefer that Jeff Zucker and Bezos don't tell me how to live my life, especially if they are going to lie to do it.
Yes, as I mentioned, they made it easier only very recently. 09/27/2021, actually. And you still have to open cmd.exe or powershell with "run as admin". It is not as easy as installing, say, GitBash.

Also, some things are still under documented, or hard to do. Like that "wslg.exe" can be used to make Windows shortcuts to launch graphical programs. Or how to make various systemd things work (pid 1 is not systemd), and so on. Or how to add all the Windows fonts to the Linux distro. I'm saying they will likely improve all this over time.
The truth is that cycling infrastructure is an unnecessary luxury. It's a "good thing" in principle because it's a way of transportation that's good for the environment and gives people exercise, but it's redundant and expensive, you still need full capacity in public transport, because almost no one cycles when the weather is bad. It would only makes sense really if you could dynamically allocate space between cars/bikes basically on a day-by-day basis, and/or convert bike lanes to bus lanes, but I guess you'd need a full fleet of only self driving cars for that to be feasible. Then you could have the luxury of using a bike on days with nice weather, just because it's fun. Until then, it's at the expense of general mobility which is a really big downside in cities that are already crowded and transport is slow. Why should we cycle more? Only one reason is really valid: save the environment. But then again, we have a million comforts and luxuries at the expense of the environment, and people can generally choose, as long as they're not using absurd amount of energy. Why force cycling specifically, I don't understand, just take the bus if you don't want to drive.
> People are being awfully credulous of two sentence fragments quoted in an editorial paragraph. Much of this could certainly be true but my bullshit meter is going off on the level of narrative they're reconstructing in all the non-quoted portions.

This is not an editorial document, it’s a legal complaint by the Attorneys General of 17 U.S. states and commonwealths demanding a jury trial (among other things). The allegations are unproven at this point. The demanded trial process (discovery, examination, etc.) is what will provide the evidence.

One way or another though, we’re going to see if all of these claims are true. It just will take some time.

Those are all valid questions and I think they do make Microsoft's defence a lot less credible. I believe there are some improvements, like speeding up certain commonly used instructions, the hardware SPECTRE etc. defences and better security features, but I don't think those will impact stability that much.

Whether it's because only newer chips without wear and tear come out on top in these statistics or because there's something in the hardware itself, the perception that Windows 11 is more stable is something Microsoft can market. Dropping chips that lack certain instructions also make their support and testing workload lighter. In the end, the quality and range of support Microsoft provide for their operating system depends on how much money they can make off their sales. If their losses from the move are lower than the cost of supporting older hardware, it's a decent business decision to do the unpopular thing and drop support. It's a private company, after all, focused on making their shareholders money.
Which is why I've stopped reporting LibreOffice bugs. I have had literally hundreds of bugs filed, with test files and reproducibility instructions. Then they changed bug trackers - twice - and all that is lost.

With KDE and Mozilla, I'm still seeing bugs fixed a decade after I stopped reporting them. So I might be inclined to file egregious bugs to those two projects, if I feel inclined at the moment to wait a decade for a resolution.
> There were more people living in Manhattan in 1920 than 2020

I didn't know that, but it makes sense, given the immigration and building patterns of the era. There were even more people living in Manhattan in 1910 than in 1920 (over 600,000 more than today).

I'm not sure if this does anything except support the point I am making, though. Can more people be squeezed into Manhattan than are currently living there? Sure. You might not even need to bring back the squalid tenement buildings.

But isn't the primary reason that there are fewer people living in Manhattan today because they tore down the tenements in order to build office towers? Although only 1.6 million people live in Manhattan, during the work day the population swells to almost 4 million when you account for commuting workers.

> and the average building height was higher then too.

I am honestly surprised to read this, and I have trouble believing that it is true. Do you have a source for this?

The only adequate punishment is a long prison sentence and it would deter other people from doing the same.
Btw, also send the "reports" IE management who enforces the project straight to prison with the bosses.

Sounds radical, maybe, but all the other laissez-faire and self regulation approaches have not worked.

A prison sentence also means not employable in the same salary segment ever again.

These people hide behind large legal teams and always remind everyone about their large responsibilities.
But when it comes to be responsible and liable to bad things, nothing much happens.

Just prison, not like in china, where some executives have simply been executed.
I have respect for Socrates but this was not one of his good quotes. It reeks of "get off my lawn", very strongly.

Kids had MP3 players before the iPod. I remember them in high school and yes they were a known music player alternative to CDs. The iPod landed with a unified marketing campaign that promoted itself as a music device vs an MP3 player. The marketing campaign was sleek and different.
The problem here is the competing offer. By the time someone has gone through the work to obtain an offer elsewhere they have already mentally decided they are making the move. It also poisons the well a bit in terms of recruiting/interviewing as offers come late in that process so if they are being done to farm offers to present for a counter-offer that is likely also happening to your pipeline for other companies, this is bad for everyone.

Retention has to be pre-meditated, you need to identify the market is moving and factor that into your budget. You are -already- doing this in the current system by accounting for market rates to cover attrition. So instead of -having- attrition just pay the retention raises and cut out the middleman and the disruption.

This is my experience as well. Also the majority of 'remote' ads are only considering the US really, which is pretty tiresome to shift through. Then there are the ads where in theory it is possible to hire someone remotely but they would rather have someone from nearby (I totally get this sentiment, but there should be a more useful term for this instead of remote), and last but not least the remote-as-in-cost-cutting (contractors, outsourcing) where the final offer will be considered not on the skills or value add you would bring to the table, but rather where on the map you are located at. There are still only a handful of companies looking for remote employees.

Again, the FDA itself recommends against usage of Ivermectin:

"Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19"

You and Mr. Rogan (and ilk) seem to be confounding the usage of Ivermectin in researched and approved treatment regimens with the opposite and claiming discrimination when pointed out. Self-treatment carries unforeseen dangers. Whether or o not Mr. Rogan is right is irrelevant - he's not a subject matter expert.

It simply does not work both ways. You and I have limited reach in forums like these, but Rogan has listenership in the millions, which makes his unscrupulous statements very risky.

I've met such problematic people. You can't reason with them, it's almost a religion.

It’s part of the schema part, not the serialization part right? I don’t disagree you parse then validate, but in a schema that defines type of data, it’s not unreasonable to put limits on values.

> And why is Covid not really a thing in subsaharan Africa

I follow news out of South Africa. COVID really is a thing there. It is a big deal there. There have been curfews. (1)

> where everyone takes ivermectin anyway,

No; they don't all take ivermectin every day at breakfast.

> You’d think the poorest parts of Africa with the worst medical systems in the world would be hit harder, but they’re not.

You would think that, yes. it's actually interesting: when the pandemic dawned in early 2020, the medical systems of US and UK were thought best prepared to deal with it (2). That clearly has not been the reality since then. (3)

Why is that? One theory is that recent experience with disease control matters. UK and US were complacent about controlling a virulent pandemic. Whereas asian counties with good economies and recent experience with SARS did very well at doing it again. (4)

African countries did .. not as bad as you might assume, given "the worst medical systems in the world", maybe because of a population the skews younger than the west, and maybe because of experience with various diseases from HIV+TB (In South Africa and other countries) to Ebola (in Central Africa)

I've had squirrel, though not chicken-fried. It was gamey but not bad, more like rabbit than venison. ("Chicken-fried" just means breaded and fried cutlets of something that isn't chicken. Often served back home with white sausage gravy, and just the thing for supper on a chilly night.)

Hawks will take more than squirrels. My mom carries a pistol to let her dog out - he's a Shih Tzu, well within the size range of prey a redtail will stoop on, and it has been a problem before - and her chickens occasionally benefit from a little anti-air fire as well.

Urban environments can be well suited to raptors, especially those with a habit of preying on birds. Peregrine falcons nest in a fair number of our structures, one of which is visible from my front porch, and Cooper's and sharp-shinned hawks are frequent visitors; while as accipiters these latter favor taking passerines on the wing, they won't shy from taking mammal prey. Squirrels are fast and agile, and big raptors can have a hard time giving chase after a failed stoop, so it isn't as one-sided a contest as it might seem.
Then the problem is not the heat, but your fitness level, which regular biking, jogging will improve. It did for me. After about 20 years of no exercise, just sitting in front of a computer, I decided last November to start exercising (jogging. Bad knees make biking a bad idea)

My 1st day out jogging, I could only go 0.5 miles non-stop before I almost passed out. Today I can do 5.5 miles non-stop. My cardiovascular system is in the best shape it has been in a long time. And I'm almost 60.
