Training remotely is not like a remote work meeting or peer coding. It's terrible IMO.

Half of my money, I make with dev, the other half, with training teams.

Since Covid, most training are requested to be remote, even now that I can travel again. Companies have tasted the flavor of trip expense savings, and see only the numbers.

But as a teacher, I can tell you those trainings are a far cry from the in-person one.

For once, engagement plumets, people are easily distracted, doing something else, etc. They ask you to repeat more often, and network/sound problems plus the indirection you get to communicate kill the rythme of the training.

The whole communication is harder. You can't use humour as much, because it's way risker if you can't feel the room. You can't pass behind them to check on what they are doing, so you have to pull feedback constantly, which people are poor at giving. Sharing screen expose the most shy participants, and you can't read facial expression since most don't turn the webcam on, so you can't really know how they feel.

I'd say they learn half less, in the same amount of time. It will probably also stick less. And they also clearly enjoy it less, in general.

At first you'd think it's better for introverts, but if you have a good teacher, it's way better for an introvert to have a benevolent warm person calmy and discretly comes by your side to give you a hint than to have to share your mistakes on screen in front of everybody after being called out in the mic.

Twice already I had people this year, almost giving up mid way. Took me all my compassion and kindness to cross the virtual barrier and reassure them. It never happened to me in 10 years. They felt too much pressure, they felt they slowed people down, they felt exposed, they feld they couldn't find a solution and that I couldn't really help them because of the distance between us.

I'm getting good at remote training, and the sessions are running mostly smoothly.

But I still hate it. Such a waste of human potential.

You can do more training though, so I guess we trade quality for quantity.

Today I'm training people in Africa, from Europe. The connexion is aweful, participants are being asked by colleagues to interrupt their training to solve work issues, and MS Teams has been a train wreck. Thank God they are good coders, and they exercices are quick to check, because they are 7 of them, and they each need to share their screen with their own particular bug.

So sure, it's better to be able to train them at all than not to, given that their company would probably not pay me to fly there (I would have come, I worked a lot in Africa).

But damn, it's low quality.
it rather proves that mask mandate were ineffective as there was no inflection point following the introduction of the mandate

That might indicate that the mask mandate was ineffective and the evolution was due to something else, or it might indicate people didn't abide by the mandate as soon as it came in.
Now I had to try. I can make Firefox to open my Startpage whenever I open a new window, but not for each new tab. Chrome only as the first window after I start the browser. (MacOS)
I use Discord for the same purpose. Just mindlessly chatting with strangers can be very relaxing and I find it to be way more addictive than facebook and similar platforms.
Qualcomm says that this “feature” is useful to lock your phone after few seconds when you leave it somewhere (i.e. desk) or if someone -not you- is looking at the screen, it can obscures it immediately.

Maybe Qualcomm is right and this is helpful and they will never spy you, but this feature add a future attack point, for criminals and governments who whant to track you and you can’t noticed it because it use almost no power. I hope they’re implementing very very well the security and the circuits to led the user know when the camera is looking at you actively.
True here - the only people I use anything else with is work colleagues and parents. Everyone else uses Snap.
I, too, rely on a completely blank tab.

I've never seen a need for a "start" page. The context when I open a browser changes almost every time; I never follow a routine.
Microwave-ovens definitely don't leak below 2.4 GHz. Any frequency above that is a non-issue for microwave-oven operator safety. It also wouldn't be an issue for any communication device transmitting below 2.4 GHz. If you want to shut down 5 GHz communication then a microwave-oven would be leaky. 60 GHz: it shouldn't matter since it needs LoS anyway.

Also, remember to ground your faraday cages.
Thanks for the tip which I will try. I agree with the OP and parent, IG used to be an enjoyable experience if you were careful about who you follow, but it seems that it's now in the process of being destroyed by bad ideas borrowed from FB.

My explore page used to be hit-and-miss, but generally somewhat relevent. Over the last few days it has been filled with revolting photos of fake-tanned idiots. No amount of attempting to swat then with "Not Interested" seems to work.

I'm debating this as well, mine is not 2 yet, but when the time comes.. I'm leaning towards a desktop, the ergonomics can be better (unless you consider a docked laptop) and while it's a larger machine, it exposes a bit more of the complexity, and it'll be easy for us to take it apart to see what's inside and make changes/upgrades. There's also less possibility that he runs out with it and looses it or has it stolen, those are things he will learn in time, but for starters, I'll go with a desktop..
> Legal Eagle on YT did a great breakdown of it all.

I strongly disagree. He left out some very important details from the video. Whether by accident or not, doesn't really matter in this case, IMO. (I know he issued corrections/clarifications in the comments, but most people are not gonna read those)
It pretty much addresses your core thesis and shows it to be based on a fictional retelling of history.
Are you familiar with daylight tanks for film processing? They work as advertised using right angles.
Schools manage to do this just fine - to explain foundations first in easy language and the advanced knowledge later on. Wikipedia articles, in contrast, start out with expert-level language.
none since they can wipe the phone without a passcode. This is true for both iphone and android phones. I'm not familiar with off-brand OS phones though.

Show HN: We created a free tool to build you a custom design sprint schedule
Also, at least based on the area where I live, the locations with a higher proportion of believers in science, less in "freedom", and so on, are the places that impose mask mandates. So there may be some tail wagging dog going on.
Interesting. The past few days when I searched I got none of the hits, but yes along those lines.

If you've ever run — or tried to plan — a Design Sprint, you're probably aware that one of the biggest challenges is coordinating schedules and convincing stakeholders that the process is a valuable use of (roughly a week of) the team's time.

To help teams get the most out of a Design Sprint based on their goals and availability, we created the Design Sprint Builder. Answer a few questions about your goal, team, and availability, and it returns a fully vetted Sprint schedule outlining each exercise over the allotted time period to help you make the most of your team's time — from half a day up to the full, 5-day shebang.

Asbestos exposure from 20 years ago killed IT worker
That was actually nice for a while - I mean, you do want to keep up with them.

But in the last few years, every interaction with any of them on my FB account has been either conspiracy theories or them trying to send me messages in the replies of random other peoples' posts. It seems that being on it too much was bad for them.

Reality doesn't fit so neatly into these categories that you're trying to construct, where speech is perfectly harmless unless it's direct incitement to violence and then suddenly it's harmful. That might be how the legal system works but it's not how reality works.

Motivating radicals and spewing racism might not be direct incitement to violence, but history shows that it can have significant negative consequences. The causal pathway is usually non-linear and hard to attribute. But, behind many genocides is racial hate speech that's been allowed to fester for years. Behind many lone wolf terrorist attacks is propaganda, even if nobody directly incited it.

I'm not arguing for or against any specific hate speech law here. Just trying to point out there's a grey area that your categorical thinking isn't good at addressing.
I'm struggling to understand how that quote could be anything but satire
I'm uncomfortable with the idea of legal personhood, but if we extend it to certain types of businesses then we absolutely must extend it to the environment. Otherwise, get ready to live on Arakis.

It's happening in drips and drabs with domesticated animals anyway.
Definitely. I think the main problem modern society (post-internet) is having, is that people have conflated the right to speak with the right (or the recent privilege they've been granted) to be heard, and assumed that if you have one you should automatically have the other. It's never been so.

[edit] since you updated... so, it's often been said that "speech" for nazis is a boot to the face, and that's all the words they need. And the truth is that if violence takes over it eradicates speech. A societal commitment to free speech is what allows the victims of threats and harassment and violence to speak out where they would otherwise be afraid to - especially if the intimidating environment is not just one company, but society as a whole. And this is why it's very dangerous, and can possibly breed more violence, to ever say that speech==violence [edit2: people reading "revolutionary books" in prison can be equated with violence by the prison guards]. Yes, incitement is beyond the pale, but in the example you just delineated it's very possible to separate incitement from opinion. Remove "someone should..." &c.

Now imagine you're born and everyone you're related to is accused of horrible crimes against humanity, controlling the media, stealing from honest people and drinking babies' blood, and your grandparents' families were murdered by people who said the same thing, and you hear people saying stuff like that every day which is clearly intended to incite people to, you know, kill you. And then imagine coming to the point where you know that preserving their right to say whatever they want about you, however disgusting and evil, is the only chance you have to preserve your own rights as an individual. If you can put yourself there, mazel tov, you're Jewish.

And it's natural to wonder whether all that free speech is a terrible idea, so, like all important things it's open to debate. But it's why my grandparents came to America, and they wouldn't like the idea of a law against nazi speech any more than I do.

Twitter, of course, is a whole other story. Private enterprise and should be held accountable for every word on their platform. They should banhammer anyone they feel like.
Even for a small company in the software space, running your own self-hosted OSS stack isn't a big ask. I've spent ~80 hours over the past year setting up and running our stack.

Hiring Moving Company St. Catharines for Your Move Is the Best Decision
Moving takes a lot of planning and effort, whether it's into town or across the nation. Those who have not relocated their stuff before are unsure if they should do it themselves or contact a removal and storage firm for student moving in St. Catharines. When you outsource your relocation to a qualified mover, you'll reap multiple benefits.
It's called a "home page". You even say that yourself. It's why the browser has a "home" button ... To take you to your (personal) home page. And even before that button and [saved] bookmarks, you had to have some place that contained your personal bookmarks. It was the page you set your browser to load when you opened it. And you did absolutely make it yourself (it was the first webpage I ever made).

The main/first page of a website was the "frontpage" to its visitors (but it surely felt like a home page to the owner - and it may have been).

In any web event, I think you will be best served by plain old html. It will be faster (in nearly all ways) than next.js or Gatsby.
> You can't find many things that Russian government deems inappropriate in Yandex

What are those things that Yandex can't find? It seems to me it shows pretty relevant results for "putin's golden toilet" [1], "putin's blasting houses" with US State Department / Soros funded web-site as one of the top results [2]. A query with "navalny's statement" shows both his twitter and his web-site on the first page.

When comparing to google, "gab" in yandex shows the web-site's link as the first result. Google doesn't show it at all, there is only CNN, wikipedia, some woke dictionaries all telling you gab is not something you should search.

So, who's got totalitarian system with censorship after all?

A simpler design for quantum computers
What I don't get is how this requires people to actually protect those things in the real world

As I understand it: it works mainly by changing the legal standing. Right now, nobody can sue for destruction of habitat because they would have to prove firstly how they are personally affected by said habitat. By using Natural Personhood as proxy, anyone can sue, using the Natural Person to provide standing.
I dont, it's just distraction. I have bookmarks
The implication of your "logic" is that there is a specific threshold number of people who would need to die for you to decide it's worthwhile asking people to wear masks. That number has to be more than 6, or you'd be saying the mandate was worthwhile and should have been imposed. I wonder how many it is.

I forked https://github.com/antonycourtney/tabli to show the same UI on new tabs as well. It's a good enough solution to tab overload and helps me organize and re-open the appropriate contexts to work or research.
Minor technical correction: tuples don’t require deconstruction syntax; x[0] takes the first element of a tuple in Python, and x.0 in Rust (though it is fun to note that Rust only got that in late 2014, before which pattern matching was the only way of pulling values out of a tuple).

For the rest, I maintain my position. :-)
DAOs are totally experimental and the future of finance is pluralistic, so reductionism is doing it a disservice.

Rockets: "The future of space travel" or "so unsafe you could die on launch". Pick one.

If you don't like DAOs or any experimental finance -- which I think is a totally sane thing to do -- then just don't use them. That's why traditional financial structures like banks exist.

You offer no evidence that masks work. The only thing you made clear is that the Japanese will obey and do as they're told.
It's not like they all read the studies showing that masks work. They only do it because they believe the authorities and have a culture of submission. You can't read anything else from this as it's a unique society we cannot emulate.
No, I'd try to retreat first. Unless the person were to aim the gun at me.
That’s the difference over 2 months for a specific implementation, longer term you need to multiply that by the number of months during the pandemic and the feedback loop from having fewer infected people walking around.

Are mask mandates worth saving at minimum 3 lives per month (~150 nationwide) and significantly more suffering? Well that depends on why you think a mandate is a bad idea. Some people might say killing 3,000 people per month is perfectly acceptable to avoid a mask mandate, others might say even avoiding 1 hospitalization is worth a mask mandate.
It happens when you venture in un-economical fields which solely exist as vehicles of hope kept afloat by the government (either as a client or with the use of artificial economics)

Musk has a deep passion for those fields, he wants to be a techno-utopian cult figure so of course he chooses the areas which are most suited for it.

GeoWorks was great. This document I used to get investors for my ISP back in late '92 was created in GeoWorks (and printed on a dotmatrix printer.) Not too shabby for a 286 with 1M of RAM.

There are definitely takesies-backsies if a majority of validators agree on it.
Haha I hear you. I think your point is exactly what I am getting at. Instagram wants to be more than "just" Instagram. My point is that sometimes you get that shift right, i.e. iPhone being more than "just" a phone, and sometimes you get it wrong.

I like living in a world where people have ambition. I won't ever fault Mr. Coffee for trying to become Mr. Beverage, best case they succeed and give me an amazing experience, worst case it allows for a ton of new players to satisfy the people who "just" want a Mr. Coffee.

I guess some people see this as greed. I just think we should all be constantly be striving to be better, including companies. Again, sometimes you get it right like Instagram allowing video, which also allowed for pure photsharing apps, and sometimes you get it wrong.
One exception (possibly used as cover) does not invalidate a trend.
It defaults to that, but there's a few things it'll still show you instead if you force it - rabbit accounts is one. Maybe because they all follow each other.

100% agree on the advertising part. If we were to remove advertising from the Web (i.e. by law or if 90% of people would use adblockers) it would be a better place. When Instagram/Facebook/Linkedin suddenly charge 5$/Month for membership, you quickly check that you want your data to be portable and interoperable, as you probably will not be a lifetime member.
The church is not a tourism bureau

Depends on who you talk to. If you ask the people that own the church building (the French State) then yes, it's all about tourism. If you talk to the capital C Church then it is probably primarily about propaganda (although they probably wouldn't call it that). They don't want Chinese tourists to walk around and come away thinking "wow that was a neat old building" they want the Chinese tourists to come away with a appreciation and interest in Catholicisms that can be a wedge towards conversion. Showing them some relics of western "mysticism" they do not understand is not conducive to that goal.

The people who care about if it's a nice space for Sunday Mass are by all accounts the least important people in this equation.
May 1st is the standard in the rest of the world, US it's sometime in September.
That's a very poor rhetorical tactic since that sentiment could be applied to literally any law, since all laws restrict freedom.

How much of a mask's effectiveness is due to the physical barrier? and how much is due to it's role as a uniform, promoting conformity with other anti-covid behaviors in the group?
I always found that phrase misleading. Code is automation, law is for the stupid things people do.
Interesting experiment however his experience with tinfoil and metal boxes doesn't match mine.

I placed my phone wrapped in a towel inside a metal box: as soon as I close the lid I can't ping the phone on local WiFi and can't reach it with call (it goes direct to voicemail as if the phone was switched off). The GPS doesn't record any position while in the box.
I didn't test the Bluetooth though.

Same thing for my car keys inside a paper towel and aluminum foil: impossible to open the car even at touching distance.

I wonder if he wrapped the device before putting it in the box or aluminum.

Rocket Lab Reveals Neutron Launch Vehicle’s Advanced Architecture
I had a very similar issue with BitDefender recently. When downloading the WebRTC C++ library, one of the submodules is harfbuzz, which contains some maliciously crafted font files used by the test suite. BitDefender automatically deletes those test files. That means git sees the repository as dirty, since files are deleted. That means WebRTC's fetch script can't run the 'git checkout' commands it expects to be able to run, and the whole download fails.

While my summary here is brief, debugging this whole mess took a while.
