> ultimately I think/hope most people understand the social benefits of working in an office.

As far as I'm concerned, there aren't any.

But you know what? At the end of the day I don't care where someone works, as long as they extend me the same courtesy. The last place I worked at (before the lockdowns) gradually eliminated WFH, converted to an open plan office, and generally made life miserable for software devs who prefer peace and quiet over socializing at work. I'm much happier working from home, although I have some uncommon advantages there: no kids and amazing internet.
Maybe they should because of how easy it is to brick phones with crappy USB cables/chargers these days.
So mail from others are mine but not chats?
Bluetooth LE. Newer Iphones can be tracked in the same manner as airtags, but without the warning.
Not knowing about the patent (only the info from the Forbes article), the device producing the sound from Tom Scott's video would have been around when that patent was still active. Therefore, either 1) it was from the company issuing the patent and they weren't able to bring it to the US market; or 2) it was from a different company. Given that the comments in the video mention that the US still has the beep-beep sound, I wonder if that was preventing the UK company selling the system to the US. In that case, why didn't the creator of the patent bring it to market in the US while it was still valid?
I find it remarkable how many people here will willingly defend discord as not being evil and "its fine, what could go wrong" and many will in the same breath decry facebook for being bad and privacy invading and so forth.

At one point in time facebook was cool and trendy and nobody was really freaking out about it. Discord can at the drop of a hat become a new facebook -- or get bought by facebook or some other megacorp that wont just bleed money on their investments and will start selling your information, and we can start the new cycle of everyone jumping on some hip new product that has all the same problems.

The average person (my parents, grandparents, all non technical) can successfully navigate email and its a bit insulting to the average person to insinuate that something like matrix/xmpp with a little bit more UX work is simply too hard for the layman to grok. Maybe discord is convenient right now but it wont be when everyone has to jump around to some new maybe less evil service.
It's encrypted but not e2e encrypted. Why would you say that it is virtually public? Do you think you or the FBI can easily access Telegram messages?
What's the usual effective tax rate in the Nordics? And a salary for an avg senior dev?
Lex Fridman had an interview with his dad on his podcast a while back. His dad is a plasma physicist and had some interesting thoughts on your point here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JipQNWuYnA&t=10217s

In summary, he thinks hot fusion is obviously possible but the system is too complex to ever scale. He has an interesting idea about doping atoms with muons to increase the overall density of the material. I don't know that there's any substance to it, but I like his perspective that the ultimate solution will likely come out of nowhere by an individual or small team that's allowed to pursue wild ideas.
I am against any large scale collection of data that can be used to take away an individual's privacy or to assist a government/business/person's ability to track someone's location or residence. Its one thing to not be able to do anything about a private business collecting this information on their own volition, but its another to actually aid in its collection yourself. The more you accept and buy into this reality the faster it will accelerate out of control with opposition being not just those who stand to gain from its existence, but from useful idiots who don't understand sunk cost fallacy. The biggest hindrance in the long term happiness of the human species is the inability to reverse change. Even while we can admit a certain change is bad, we can never mitigate further change let alone put the cat back in the bag.
In practice this is simply not the case. Look at my first example in the article. With just a few lines we can set a paragraph to follow the shape of any mathematical function. I didn’t have to know anything about TeX macros to do this. In fact I have no idea how to do this with LaTeX or TeX macros, and I don’t think they have nontrivial mathematical functions available. The same holds with the other examples. Almost trivial using Lua scripting (not “macros”), don’t even know where to start with TeX macros.

FYI, iPhone 13 generation devices already have 2 eSIMs, as in you can have dual standby without a physical SIM. I'm not a fan of this direction but I don't think we're going to lose dual SIM support.
The former, and in my day-to-day career.
Great question. I think the most noticeable impact on my personality is a strong fear of being alone, which has led to me sometimes prioritizing my relationships over personal achievements. I regretted this impulse when I was younger, but I have come to appreciate it now.

This also gave me a “growth mindset” at an early age. I realized in ~9th grade that I had no idea how to hold a conversation with someone, which forced me to view my social skills as something dynamic which could be improved. People are now very surprised to hear I was homeschooled, so I think my efforts to improve my communication skills have born fruit.

I can only speculate on how much the rest of my current personality was influenced by that experience; either directly, or from secondary effects like reading a lot (in place of socializing) at an early age.
That’s not a paper issue, that’s a legal issue. It should be illegal to blanket somebody with unsolicited spam
In a vacuum? $0 - there's other Linux distros and the BSDs and being proprietary would impact some of the reasons why it's so usable.

In a world where open source didn't exist? Well I paid €129 for Windows 10 Pro recently, if there was no open source *nix I guess I'd pay that for one.
The music example is more acceptable though, because you don't pay a 1-time fee to own a song anymore.

When you "buy" a game, you pay a 1-time fee with the implicit calculation that you'll own that game for enough time for it to be worth the cost.

When you listen to a song on Spotify, there's no expectation that that song will be available next month, and it doesn't matter, since you didn't pay for the song.
Need to send my phone to repair soon, if they say it will take more than a day then I will rent a phone from them. I can put my current sim in their replacement phone in a few seconds. Can't imagine how long it would take with the eSim.

"You don't do it so often" is not an argument for eSims
Sure, that works for public groups but generally the private group chats with sensitive private information about peoples' personal/business life are not public.
Because it isn't valuable. Around here you get paid approximately nothing to put power into the grid. The asymmetry is comically large.
No it works within the same architecture if care is taken. So playing back a game replay on any x64 machine is ok. When recompiling, care must be taken of course, but a compiler doesn’t reorder instructions randomly to produce different results.

Care must also be taken not to risk using the x87 80-bit registers differently, but these days this is much easier - just don’t use x87 at all and use SSE instead.

I write software that does finite element analysis and similar things and results are reproducible across machines and across versions of the software.

This seems like an extraordinary claim, do you have any articles about this?

Miners do not ultimately decide what blocks get into the blockchain or not, full nodes[0] do.

Here's a collection of 8 articles explaning who (if anyone) controls Bitcoin and why miners are not who are in control:

Right. The idea of NFTs is clearly fungible as the "link" to the actual content isn't protected against change, nor is the content protected against change or copying.
What I would love is a tool to create pck files from a set of images/models/audio files to create DLC directly on the server
Yeah filenames on OS X are a pain.

However, Python 3 has the opposite problem! All the file system APIs were changed to assume that filenames are strings (sequences of code points), when they're actually BYTES in POSIX! (which may or may not be utf-8 encoded, but commonly are)

So my point is: when you ask for "unicode" support in a language, you have to be careful what you ask for, or it can create more problems. Having less in the core language is good.

For the specific case of filenames, I think you just need basename() and dirname() routines that find '/' (or \) regardless of encoding. You don't need a separate string type.

I should have said "localization on the server" vs. "localization on desktop/GUIs". What people really want is localized apps, not just unicode, and having a string type in a language doesn't get you that far. Because localization is inherently tied to the operating system, not the language. The filename example shows that, and there are also several other issues like fonts, left-to-right, etc.
The highest quality aerial photography of my country (Denmark) is taken from planes, not satellites.
Looks like interesting content and even the regular, undiscounted HD price is reasonable.

If any of the curiositystream folks are here, I’d add a “What devices does this work on?” question right below “want to peek at our catalog?” It took me more clicks than I’d have liked to find it in help and that seems like a common concern between “I’m interested!” and “I’m buying this!”

(The answer I found was a good one. https://help.curiositystream.com/hc/en-us/articles/209260738... )
Why is it that AppImages, snaps, flatpaks, Nix and every distro package manager is replaced by docker?

Could it be that docker is missing something, maybe the Dockerfile isn't easily reproducible? Maybe the ephemeral status of all containers is quite some effort to work with?

Maybe it's just not the one true answer to the question of software packaging.
A - could be good depending on the timeline

D - even 1.2-1.6x is a pretty good raise, depending on what you make now. If you own your current house, that salary increase may be enough to afford a bigger place. May even be the option requiring the least amount of effort/extra time.
> How would we know Telegram isn't an FSB front

As a Canadian talking to Canadians in Canada, I hope it’s an FSB front. They seem like my most secure option.
Yes, that’s accurate. I’m pretty sure that would be called negligent product design. Where are you saying the lawn darts came from?
During my last job search, one of my criteria was the company has to basically do no harm, that meant:

- no adtech/data collection

- no social media

- no gig economy

- no defense/surveillance

I ended up choosing between a few enterprise software companies (think Jira, Figma, Asana…) because the harm they cause is very minor while still being successful businesses. It’s definitely a compromise, as I’m coming from a job that actually did real good for 1/3 the salary.

One difference from Netflix is that this only has subtitles in English (as far as I looked).
My point (albeit subtly made) was that there isn't a central authority that controls emails, you can't just buy emails and then run it as a national service. And that's before you look into which government runs what.
I too am curious, but its going to be very difficult to measure, and as you say, it it absolutely not a fact.

Lockdown has certainly damaged some industries, but it has also taught a generation of people tech things they probably would have retired without learning, and the value of that may exceed everything else long term. It is very difficult to isolate things like this, and we wont get another sample, even if we get another pandemic later. I totally get its been good for some, but it was bad time for me, though people are terrible at self evaluating stuff like this.

I know that students at my university did worse the past two years than they did the year before. And by worse I mean substantially beyond the typical variance. This is in terms of student results like course completion and grades.
As well as mental health metrics such as surveys on stress etc, and in terms of the number who seek aid through uni services. But there are confounders everywhere. The way they did worse differs in character more than magnituide as well. It looks like the majority did just about normal, with what looks like a small minority doing very badly. However, this is just one uni and it will be another few years before it gets collated, anonymized further, and published. It also may not apply to real work.

Leadership overall seem to be somewhere between cautiously neutral and rather pessimistic in the organisations where I have insight which is a bad sign, as except for the ones who personally wanted to work from home, no one seems to be happy with it, including showing up in management stress level surveys. The snooping management meme does not apply. Most of us researchers had permission to work from home before we started too.
> Great Zimbabwe was home to about 10,000 people. The state covered 1,779 acres

That seems... absolutely tiny? 7km^2, so a reasonably fit person could run around the entire country in an hour. Population of 10k at a time when the total population of Africa was in the tens of millions. Not a value judgement, but I'm honestly shocked how small those numbers are.

Presumably this will be an inflection point for eSIM availability and you'll be able to add all 4 plans to your phone and switch to any 2 of them on the fly.

That’s down to your network. I was able to buy an e-sim over the internet in a few minutes from Vodafone UK, while not even being in the UK, and set it up by scanning a QR code that got emailed to me.

Your problem isn’t the e-sim, it’s a shitty network.

>here are existing groups that eat insects but I think they would have to be excluded from the studies as their gut biome will have adapted over a longer period of time.

The "gut biome" is not a genetically fixed factor. It is a collection of acquired microorganisms and changes as we change what we eat, how much, how physically active we are, what substances the organism comes in contact with. etc.

And yes, there is scientific literature on the subject, lots of it:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=10&q=insects+human+...

> Fat content does vary from 5% to 45% on different species of insects so I think that does actually matter

Fat content also varies wildly in classical meat, and in plants, so what about it? Just as with all other food sources, someone living on an insect-based diet must take care to balance required nutritients.
Sorry, can't write emotionless about Western people getting Japan wrong.
Sure, but you seem willing to instead get something high in carbon that’s economically valueless and pay to bury it in the ground. That seems unlikely to be more carbon-efficient than curtailing someone else’s use of the fuel of last resort.

Even if we get working fusion power the laws of thermodynamics tell us that it's not going to be much cheaper than current fission power. The heat will be generated in a different way but the process for using that heat to boil water and spin a turbine will be basically the same. That means huge capital investments and then constant maintenance to keep everything running.
It's not actually. Let's review a couple points:

Competitive News Landscape

The US media is owned by a few large entities. It does not do reporting from a labor point of view, as one example. Indie media is under active suppression, as is any meaningful dissent on a number of fronts. What many see as "competition" is actually theatre, and is also not inclusive coverage, again labor being a super easy example to see, missing important points of view.

As for the fairness doctrine, I agree with it's impact being debatable, but doing that along with media deregulation was a one - two punch, leading directly to the death of investigative journalism and the rise of newstaiment and access journalism. This is now News Corp got started, birth of FOX, et al. State mouthpieces basically. We are currently prosecuting a journalist to death for exposure of war crimes and corruption, just to add on to what is not a ringing endorsement here.

My point in this is the current state of the US in this sense is not good, and that has a clear impact on the people. You are attempting to make a not bad point, and implying a low impact on the people.

Notably, neither of us is making a definitive good assessment.

That aligns more favorably with my point above than your counterpoint here, and the context is people refusing vaccines and other behaviors one would associate with an unclear, propaganda laden body politic. There is a lot of BS being fired at people non stop and it starts right at the top from the consolidated media, by the way currently marked as authoritative by many entities online despite it having clear conflict of interest and a poor record on a number of fronts associated with those conflicts. (war machine, economic policy, media oversight (lol), health care policy)

I've got reasonable support for that and the body of my comment.

Finally, the overall assumption being challenged here is whether to blame the people, and I do continue to reject that idea for it being unproductive and toxic to all of us.

> And my money is that they'll use whatever volume they free up to mindlessly make the phone thinner.

Thinner is absolutely better. The ergonomics and lightness of the iPhones 6 through 8 are far superior to the thick and heavy iPhones Pro of today. Without Jony Ive at the design helm to push the "single slab of glass" vision, the thickness and weight has been gradually creeping upward for years now to cram in more batteries and hardware. A return to thin iPhones would be a good thing.
I agree 100%. Everybody is trying to become ultra-rich, famous, whatever. I think it's mostly useless. If you can get to $100k/year passively, which would be assets of 2-2.5mil... that would be insanely comfortable.

Also, who wants to live without any job or making any money when you're 25-45 years old? Realistically you'll want to make moves and provide value.

Great advice about prioritizing personal happiness. It's up to the individual, not some arbitrary wealth or what society dictates.
I would love to get some actual real-world experience stories about the remarkable - when the Apple Pencil came out, I thought it would replace my pen and paper approach, and I invested in the platform (2018 iPad, Pencil, Goodnotes) - but ultimately was disappointed because the writing felt ackward and "fake" on a glass surface. Because of this experience, I am wary of investing in a new toy with little usage reports which may follow the way of the Pencil, which now gathers dust in a cabinet until finally being put into the refuse pile...
I can't say what Apple will do, but I'm really hoping they'll keep Rosetta 2 around for longer than Rosetta 1.

For starters, the Mac became a lot more popular in the Intel era than it ever was while on PPC, so there's a much larger quantity of legacy software that Apple would be cutting off. Secondly, the overall user experience of running apps via Rosetta 2 seems to be a lot better than Rosetta 1. And for Apple, Rosetta 2 was developed in-house and doesn't require continuous licensing fees to keep around (not that I'm particularly sympathetic to Apple's pocketbook.)
