Case in point, my mom is getting paranoid about this stuff after watching stuff on Netflix and CNN about how Facebook is "listening in" on her. I can easily just tell her to watch for the dot and know, with reasonable certainty, that she didn't install some app on her own that would hide that.

Nothing about this scenario would change if Apple chose to include a setting in the system menu that turns it off. You would just tell your mother not to mess with that setting... which you've presumably already done for numerous other settings.
I am speaking for myself. Having many others working extra long hours to extend social time creates pressure on others that they need to do the same. I have worked in such an environment before and it’s a big negative. In my experience it also tends to make people plan less thoroughly because hey we’ll be in the office to fix any problems.

What separate laptop? macOS supports multiple accounts, no need for separate laptop. And people don't want to buy a completely unnecessary $200 dongle (it's actually cheaper) for something that worked 100% perfectly before. Is that really hard to understand?

If I could have audio inputs/outputs that were good enough for my audio work I would also prefer not using an external audio interface. I often compose on earbuds, and that's fine. For mixing I need something else. Some people might not. Who am I to judge?

Also, it's not an "or" option. Pros turn off notifications/internet, and don't leave Steam running when working, like the other poster is saying.

This should hit some service workers who cannot be outsourced to other countries, that is good. I think it would also help other countries make similar moves, in Europe or rich east Asia. It certainly wouldn't make them less likely to do that.

There is no reason to think we need as many low end job labor hours is currently cheap to hire. We should always be shrieking the workweek and doing more UBI to figure out where the bottle necks are, and then fixing those bottle necks with technology.

There is no way this economy will reduce labor hours on it's own. Captialism has many self-regulating features but this is not one of them. It therefore must be done politically.
Right, but when you say "this variable shouldn't have this value", it doesn't imply that you doubt your observation of the variable - it is well understood that you are doubting your understanding of the code / initial conditions.
Thought this was going to be about the movie series.
Well depends on the definition. 10x engineers in my book, ensure that the system is maintainable, simple enough for the problem, well thought and readable.

Consequences also can be extremely subjective. I have the experience of a single team architecting/coding the core of the system to ensure nobody ever adds any kind of concurrency because "it's hard to reason with and we want nobody to spawn threads." Let us say the networking layer teams were not excited about this. Who is right and who is wrong: both teams had "consequences" to deal with.
The optics of leaving half way through the development of a big project looks much worse than leaving after it's completed. Hiring managers question why people leave. I would be surprised if there wasn't a large number of people moving on in their career after working on and launching a big title like AC:Valhalla or FC6. That seems like the ideal time to find a new role at a higher level, using your latest credit to leverage a better package somewhere new, especially if you're a "top 25" person on the team.
On the other hand, you can also argue that people who want to WFO to get their dose of social interaction are forcing those who would want to WFH to provide that dose when they would rather not.

That seems to be the mismatch in many WFH vs. WFO vs. "do what you want" arguments.

The people that want WFO need the majority of their coworkers to also WFO to get whatever benefit they derive from WFO.

In a flexible setting where you can choose to WFO or WFH, what happens to the WFO person when the majority of their coworkers choose to WFH?

On the other hand, the WFH person could care less if their coworkers are WFO or WFH.
I remember when I played football (like 5 years ago) there were ads in the stores for cleats with chips in it for a lot of tracking, we didn't buy them because we didn't know how to use them so I don't know how they actually worked but the marketing was there (and I suspect the actual product too)
>never tested the air again

just a side note - while specific industrial testers may be overkill, the combined CO2/particulate/VOC/formaldehyde gadgets are $100 ballpark, and given the new construction on sites where Intel/HP dumped the etching fluids or whatever, buildings energy saving certifications (read low ventilation/AC), etc. i find it is very useful to have on desktop in the office (watching formaldehyde (or may be VOC - forgot after 2 years WFH) rising on a hot day on new furniture, though still under official safety limits. The CO2 was almost always under 600 - not bad :)

I don't think they would love to know, though. Its not like employees won't give them feedback (anonymous, if its a toxic environment). Exit surveys are another tool to learn why some of your most senior engineers are leaving. I would bet that they aren't doing this, or at least not in a serious way. From the article:

> Said another now-former Ubisoft worker who was disappointed by directives from the company's Paris HQ: "There's something about management and creative scraping by with the bare minimum that really turned me away."

I mean, if the industry standard metrics are not showing a deviation, it should tell them that those metrics aren't really reliable.

What it seems like as an outsider (and as someone who's hear similar things from leaders where I worked) is plain apathy and a lack of desire to work with the engineering organization; the latter seems like its being hollowed out.

My belief is that despite some initial reporting, no police officers were killed by the crowd.

From:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Brian_Sicknick

Within hours of his death, the Capitol Police released a statement that the death was "due to injuries sustained while on-duty", when he was "physically engaging with protesters" at the Capitol.[10] The next day, the U.S. Justice Department attributed the death "to the injuries he suffered defending the U.S. Capitol, against the violent mob who stormed it".[11]

It is true that the Medical Examiner initially said the death was due to "natural causes"; but then he later said that "all that transpired played a role in his condition." So it would appear he was mincing his words, to say the least (more like blatantly contradicting himself).

In addition, 4 officers died by suicide in the months following the attack.

Is your belief that multiple police officers were intentionally killed by rioters?

It is beyond dispute the rioters intentionally acted in a way that placed the lives of the the capitol officers at extreme risk. Whether the 5 subsequent deaths meet the legal definition or premeditated homicide is of lesser importance. And practically speaking, splitting hairs.

I'll much rather build and run software for free in my spare time than start a business since the latter would mean having to spend dozens of hours every week dealing with all manner of bureaucracy.

I have the capacity and funds to start a business, but I just don't think it's worth the hassle.

Here's my wish list of things to happen in 2022

Capability Based Security - I keep hoping this will be the year, as we're going to be in cybersecurity drama land until it gets adopted.

Rich text source - Why not include photos, and other stuff in your source code?

Tools that take source code, compile it into an abstract syntax tree, and let you tweak that tree, then spit back out refactored source code, possibly in a different language. Maybe it's possible to go all the way to LLVM and back to Pascal?

I would hope that someone comes up with a toolkit that puts a UI on the user's machine directly in touch with server code on the back end, without HTTPs or any of that type of cruft.

I’ve only lived in Mid sized or larger cities so I have no experience with small towns, but I think it’s fair to say they may work differently than urban regions for cultural reasons or otherwise

Regardless, “the right enforcement” thing is clearly true, but the right enforcement isn’t necessarily practical. Some of the worst offenders I’ve seen wrt speed limit aren’t (imo) highways where people go 15 over, but really wide locals in suburban residential areas where people come off the highway and keep driving 40+, putting bicyclists or pedestrians in danger. These roads are rarely enforced by traffic cops probably due to how little traffic they see in the first place

> I didn't get a chance to tell him about how I saved his job and the jobs of everyone else on the team by working 32 hours on my weekend and finding them other work to do.

Save the day by investing your free time into making things work, then collect outrage anyway. Management in a nutshell! Great anecdote.

> They were led by a very strong personality who led the project based on his principles (he was interested in funneling as much corporate money into "free software" as possible while resisting delivery of business value).

I've dealt with someone similar. It's strange how certain people can work their way into management while actively fighting against the company's mission. Of course, it doesn't work out well for themselves, the company, or the team they manage.
So i did the dance with a single file (my starter file):

It's the "shield-account" from material design.

353 shield.svg
246 shield.svg.gz
119 shield.tvg
139 shield.tvg.gz

Looks like tvg is so well compressed that using gzip compression doesn't help and beats compressed and optimized svg still by a magnitude of two. We'll get better numbers when i find time to improve the benchmark.

TinyVG was also designed to be used on constrained embedded systems with low RAM, and i have a proof of concept that it can render medium complexity files with less than 32k RAM without memory optimizations in the reference implementation. NanoVG doesn't seem to support streaming render events either, so it isn't suitable for low memory profiles as it creates a DOM that will be rendered

The continued survival of the company now depends on whether they can successfully pivot to something else other than a social network. If they can then they might manage to survive but if not then it's pretty clear Facebook is finished even without people doing anything about it.

The problem is that when offering flexibility, the WFO person is dependent on at least the majority of coworkers also being (forced?) to WFO to derive the often touted benefits of WFO.

Meanwhile the WFH person is not dependent on their coworkers being WFO or WFH.

What happens to the WFO person when a company/team offers the flexibility to WFH or WFO, but the majority of the team choose to WFH?
Why do you need to record sound when presenting some video? I’m a total noob in this, just curious.
That's how the orange dot is appearing - it's a UI element from the interactive user-interface of macOS, but it's appearing on a video out because they're re-using a monitor signal designed for mirroring or extending you desktop.
No worries. I am also not arguing for office only and if employers are trying to kill WFH completely, that is a bad move and will not work.

But only the ones that behave inhumanly to those trying their best to help.

Fundamentally this is an education problem and the leaders of Western society in their desire for for votes pander to unscientific, uneducated but popular freaking memes, for god's sake. And this behaviour is mimicked by the populace they lead. It's a downward spiral that may have more momentum than humanity has the willpower to resist.
I think most engineers (and execs) overvalue secrecy.

My limited experience is that access to your code is really not that valuable to competitors. Code might be valuable to hackers wishing to targeting you, presuming your business is a valuable target.

Spreadsheets that can contain database tables, yet prevent sorting only some rows or columns. Cells that can hold other sheets would be a nice addition too.

This is pretty neat. Simple enough to decode, and very simple to do random access. And if we ever port to something with a GPU it's might even be supported. But I worry it might be too visibly lossy, especially for GUI-ish textures.
One problem I see with this decision is that code will now be littered with:

_ = bla;
_ = blub;

...which have been forgotten during development.

So the next thing that's needed is an error if 'bla' or 'blub' are actually used elsewhere ;)
...Oh, I reread—I get it. Your code-swizzling plugin/software wouldn't work because you switched SIP back on.
Because you cant get employed in Europe as full time employee due to different tax residency and location where the company is HQd.

Most FTE positions are either
- employed by local branch of the company (it is not the same)
- you have your own llc and work as a contractor
- cross border worker with double taxation agreement

Moving around in Europe is not the same like in the US. There is nothing like “european citizenship”. It means nothing.

It makes more sense for me to move to Singapore or the US rather than Berlin.

Also a lot of europeans that do move to these EU locations never really can feel at home. Because after all it is a different country and you will always feel like a foreigner.
You work in Berlin but your heart is still in Warsaw.

Italy is a very nice country that offers a high quality of life, but if you naively show up there you will quickly find out why literal millions of young educated Italians are emgirating all over Europe: there are no jobs. By all means, if you manage to land a gig there, enjoy it.

As the other poster said, you also need to learn the language, and sometimes (if you really want to integrate and also depending on the region) the local dialect. (Note that the 'dialect' can be, like, French in the case of Aosta)

Link to the whistleblowers's article about her apartment experience: https://sfbayview.com/2021/03/i-thought-i-was-dying-my-apart...

I don't know what effects she may have experienced from environmental toxins, but I do know that her story is very similar to those I have heard from friends relating to finding e.g. a small amount of mold in their apartments. At least in some cases I think such observations are just feeding into a viscious anxiety cycle. Person is anxious and suspects their environment: person finds perceived enviromental pollutant: person becomes even more anxious and so on.
> That's all fake work that's only done because the even higher ups are demanding it.

It's not, though. On the management side, you quickly learn that teams range from proactive (will get the job done without having to ask twice) to the most mind-bogglingly slow group of people you've ever worked with. If you're not constantly asking questions to understand each situation further, the latter group will abuse their lack of oversight to no end.

It doesn't make sense if you've always been responsible and ethical yourself, and you've always been surrounded by responsible and ethical people. But once you get into management, you realize that you can't count on everyone being honest like yourself. A small but troublesome minority of employees will take full advantage of any slack you give.

It doesn't mean you should make the situation bad for your high performers (common mistake), but it does mean that you do need to ask questions to understand what's going on when things are falling behind.

In the above example, the next management move would be to understand why the onboarding was so slow and to allocate some resources to fixing it so it doesn't happen again. Something that wouldn't happen if management hadn't started digging in to understand.
