I've been using dwm for years. Oddly enough, I almost always keep it in monocle mode (one window at a time that takes up the entire screen). I rarely find myself wanting to look at two or more windows at once. More often, tmux seems the more appropriate place to split windows. Monocle mode also seems to help me stay focused.

Of course, when I do really need multiple windows, tiling mode is an Alt-t away.

I enjoy using a simple program to meet my simple needs.
When I review the list of original series that came out in 2021[0], the only thing I was interested in watching, watched to completion, and thoroughly enjoyed in 2021 (excluding children's programming) was Arcane and Black Summer (I know the latter is controversial but I enjoy its arthouse take on the genre even when the writing/plotting has its holes). Seinfeld and Cowboy Bebop (the animé) have been nice for nostalgia but I don't pay for re-runs. I finished The Witcher but the writing took a step back from season one.

Meanwhile, HBO had multiple quality series release this season both new and old. Highly recommend Station Eleven.

I see a bit of straw man here -- thorough frameworks are often liked _because_ they're thorough. Simple.css looks fantastic and I'll reach for it next time I make a simple personal site, but for a professional website with a hundred pages and design considerations that go way beyond "it should look pleasing", I need more levers, leverage, and turnkey components.
Hey. It's nice and I'm going to poke at it to learn how to use the API. But those boxes... they just waste space. There was a (La)TeX package with accompanying documentation that showcased how useless for perception table borders are. Just separate the header with horizontal line and that's it. Look at some common Unix tools (top, free). No table boxes and it's damn clear what you're looking at. Just my 2c.

EDIT: I think this is related: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/238503/tip-on-how-to...

In terminal, even the horizontal rules are waste of space though.
Whiskey is part of the NATO alphabet and should be allowed.

Most alcohol probably should be as well, come to think of it they should allow them all.
Scientific computing. We write software to do domain-specific scientific analysis on customers' machines. So we have a diverse set of needs of the specific analyses to do: sometimes we just use algorithms out in the open literature, sometimes we have to develop them ourselves. We've also had substantial work in devops, because we have to release software packages that not-very-savvy academic users can deploy and run on their own wildly-varying machines.

It's interesting work.
Sometimes it's hard for engineers. In college, I majored in Computer Science, and for an elective, I took Electronics for non-EE majors. The first half of the course was analog electronics which I struggled with, but everyone else appeared to be following along fine. It was the second half of the class, with digital electronics, where things flipped. Students would struggle with "5V is a 1? 5V isn't 1V! What's going on?" while for me it was, "yeah, yeah, I know this already ... "
Nice! PicoCSS (http://picocss.com) is another classless css framework I recommended
Agreed. The usual way I do this is I set up a pre-commit (pre-commit.com) configuration that runs locally, and then again on CI. That way, you get all the benefits on CI, but can optimize for speed by installing pre-commit locally (and run either the exact same or a subset of checks).
Yes, this is exactly the point I have been trying to raise. It's going to be a lot harder to open links in alternative clients now, e.g. Frost for Facebook. I hope this will not be followed by further usability-hampering features.
I don't think it is just about increasing profits and revenue. They are still investing the same percentage if not more to make shows. And International market expansion, even ignoring China is far from finished. ( South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, India, SEA, )

It is about leaving money on the table and sucking out oxygen from competition. Disney should raise price as well. Probably to $9.99 per month once they have enough content or other bundling as they already do now with premier and ESPN+.

In terms of household ( multiple devices ), that is $30 / month.

Most people get Amazon Prime for the services of Amazon, not its content. So this leaves family to decide whether they want to subscribe to Hulu, Cables, HBO or AppleTV+. Both Netflix and Disney are well aware of Apple's play here.
While I can understand your sentiment, I don't think you handled that negotiation very well.

Playing chicken by drawing hard lines in the sand is not negotiating - they were actually willing to budge, you were not.

Again, it's entirely your prerogative, just understand that this is not going to lead to optimal outcomes.

Finally, you mentioned something like '4 day work week' - in most situations today, it's completely off the table. If it's common in your company and you fit the policy, then sure, you can ask.

But if '4 day work week' is not policy at your company, then what you are really asking if for the company to change it's policy and open it up to everyone.

I'm sure you concede that you're not the only one possibly deserving such a flexible opportunity.

So your demand extends much broader than just yourself, and the consequences of giving this flex to one person, would mean an immediate negotiation with large numbers of other employees, which can be disruptive.

Of course, maybe they should have the policy, but it's definitely reasonable that they don't as well.

And finally, this assumes that they didn't have such a policy in place.

Consider what would have happened were you to have contemplated a counter offer from the company. There's probably an outcome in there that's pretty good for both sides, an when that happens it's a broader win for everyone.
I'm not certain how they aggregate these numbers.

I assume that includes a lot of technical schools that might have had “computer operators” and “programming” shorter degrees. But these would not match to a modern CS education at a serious school. Back then a lot of corporate divisions had “analysts” in charge of writing the program and “programmers” in charge of typing and running the program. You could still see remnants of that around the 90’s, especially with offshoring (keep the analysts in-house, offshore the “programming” abroad).

Knuth was considered an oddball in the 60’s and 70’s for instance because he would keypunch his programs himself (and was apparently quite fast!).

Most professional devs/software engineers who graduated around that time (early 80’s) did so from EE programs. These were not balanced in terms of gender. It’s also around that time that “modern” CS programs started to emerge (either from math departments or EE).
This should not happen for .com names (where we do a live "double check"), but can happen with others. We build our index based on zone files and DNS, so if a name is not configured, it will show as available.

There's some work on it. One might start at the keyphrase "Gender-equality paradox".
I've noticed this in a different context as well. Searching for "Free X" where X is some niche software, a website will list themselves as #1, even though their product is paid, albeit with a 30 days free trial. It's the new generation of SEO hacking.
> that gives you a real incentive to take care of your local community. This in turn improves the stability of the society as a whole, since the large group of homeowners is not in favor of any real upheaval which might threaten the status quo.

“take care of your local community” and “[preserve] the status quo” are placed in fairly direct opposition often in daily life. unless you want for children to live in the home they were born in forever, no new infrastructure to be built, etc. who really wants the status quo anywhere to be maintained for 30 years? most people i know, most communities i’m involved in, crave more novelty than that.
Actually I just started a new job, and it's been a nearly two months now and I'm really not sure if I want to continue working their or not.

I've tried to give it a chance and thinking, "Oh, it's just different to my last place".

My new place is very heavy on the time metrics, which I think is the reason for me not feeling it.

I'd worked on smaller tickets for a couple of sprints, and then this sprint was happy that they gave me a bigger ticket to sink my teeth into. However, as soon as they assigned it me, I was told this is 'sprint goal' ticket and it really needed to be finished. I was like, "I would love to take the ticket as I'll get to grips with things a lot faster working on this stuff but it's important to get done then maybe I'm not the best bet".

So I talk to senior, get ideas on implementation and go ahead. Everything takes longer as I like to know what I'm working with. I get it working, but start to hit issues that make it feel like I'm not going about it correctly. Get told to do it another way, so did that but as I just dived into it due to time pressure, got a bit stuck and asked the senior for assistance. He's always busy so didn't get back to me, and when I logged on this morning, he'd linked a branch where he'd basically done all the work for me.

I appreciated his help, thanked him and wrote some more tests for the branch and did the testing. It did make me feel like a complete failure though..

Worst thing is, his code was so obvious that I'm kicking myself for not slowing down and thinking about it but the time pressure was getting to me I guess.

Well, long text but did feel good to write that down :) Focus on improving for the future.
None of those sites existed when I first built this 17 years ago. WHOIS, even behind a cache, would not support our query volume. We focus on being really fast. Any specific features you'd like to see?
ntpdate shows ~120ms difference from UTC, though from the docs it looks like there is a table to calculate the exact difference.
not really. on the opposite, youtube, which does compensate for popular content, has vastly better content. Since people know there is a way to make money by making content that is likeable, the likelihood of making good content is higher. In facebook people make $0 always, hence they have no incentive to put any effort
That's not true at all. I just switched a few weeks ago for a 50% increase that I did indeed receive "out of the blue". Emailed by a recruiter, I turned them down, they were persistent, and I took it.

I was not actively looking and the thought of leaving hadn't crossed my mind.
a JVM language (Java, Kotlin) is your best bet, I have used the JVM for years. I had problems using JS or Python. .net should work well too but I have not experience with it.
Heck, I'm employed to write code and I'd still rather play games. Just I get paid for the code, and not for playing the games.

But you will do better teaching-wise if you do find something that has intrinsic motivation, not turning it into a chore.

It just might not be the right time! They've basically got until they are 18-20ish to decide to get into it. The programming books my parents gave me after 8th grade never interested me. The 11th grade programming class didn't either. The junior year of college tangentially-related course where I was like "oh I could write a program to help with this homework!" That did the trick for me.

So just keep trying, see if you can find programming-related aspects of other hobbies. And just try to focus on them learning things around those hobbies or obsessions, even if it doesn't seem to have a practical application. Get in the habit of going deep on subjects and practicing learning.
The big “oh crap” moment is when a more experienced/senior employer quits, and you realize their work was much worse than anyone thought.

Another issue is when the core product itself is faulty in a way the customer will notice. That sounds obvious … but it’s not.

Also, hitting a growth spurt with no full time product managers. That’s not good.

Unethical practices. For example, if you’re asked to generate “rosey” sales reports for the board. In fact, anything where you’re working against the board screams: “Run!”

Being very liberal with stock options. Nothing says “failing company” like a comp package that’s mostly options.

Also, pay attention to the quarterly cycles. If the company is going to collapse, they’re probably going to collapse at a quarter mark.
It's more likely that those saying 'it's too late' don't have experience negotiating and have misjudged what 'too late' means.

Even in a 'kids board game' with short negotiations, there's literally no such thing as 'too late' - unless the game has already moved on to something else, but before next moves have really been taken, it's not too late.
For me at least the "wait what" was "when did the google smear leek into general NTP pools," not "what is the google leap second smear"
2FA is essentially a time encoded using a secret known to you. It's an alternative to using a private key, it's just lest confusing to non technical people.

You basically can read the QR code, get the secret and use it to programmatically generate the token every time you need it.
Bingo. 'The community' ultimately does not own what's on the train. There is no communal interest in protecting the goods on the train; there may be an element of self preservation ("If the train is robbed, I can't buy the goods later!"), but there is little sense of communal preservation in a society that promotes individualism. The same thing applies to the thieves- anti-collective behavior is inevitable in a society that does not meet the needs of every individual.
This is how I first ended up with an inexpensive disk shelf on 6.5Mbps ADSL.

Similar constraints, different solutions.
Very true. Many older people I've met use Siri or Google as the primary means of device interaction.

For example, my mom has used an iPad daily for many years now. She's never used a laptop or desktop. Rather, she navigates and interacts with an iPad exclusively using Siri and Google voice search--rarely, if ever, touching the keyboard. And she's a (relatively) advanced user.

Granted, to tech savvy users, these interactions are often quite funny. For example, opening the YouTube app, and then doing a voice search for "YouTube videos for how to make chocolate icing YouTube please". :-)

Doesn't help you if you've already got a persistent EBV infection though, and the host immune response to EBV may be something that you want to avoid stimulating if you've already got it in you and can't get it out.

Something like CRISPR/Cas9 editing may be the way to treat persistent EBV and other herpesvirus infections.
My bad, it's implemented in Python. But it uses one Python library, mathplotlib,although I commented out the code cause mathplotlib is a pain to install.
Wow, that part of the response just sounds unhinged. Characterizing a response from their industry's governing body as "a distraction" is immensely concerning.
Biometric approve sounds pretty cool, but I'm personally not going to install some untrusted proprietary app to find out.
I work as a researcher and I try to publish full source code for all my publications. On the point of increasing surface for nitpicking, I agree in principle that's a risk, but in practice I have not experienced any such problems in my field. I am in a field of applied natural science where most researchers write terrible code, if any, and so I suppose there are not much expectations or even concepts of coding style.

There is a nice Perspective piece in Science from 2011 [1] touching on the question of cleaning up the code. It suggests basically the same thing as several of the comments in this thread: if you don't have time or motivation to clean up the code, don't.

"even incremental steps would be a vast improvement over the current situation. To this end, I propose the following steps (in order of increasing impact and cost) that individuals and the scientific community can take. First, anyone doing any computing in their research should publish their code. It does not have to be clean or beautiful (13), it just needs to be available. Even without the corresponding data, code can be very informative and can be used to check for problems as well as quickly translate ideas. ... The next step would be to publish a cleaned-up version of the code along with the data sets in a durable non-proprietary format."

Using time dilation to measure curvature of space-time
I didn't say being an employee made you an insider.

However, many (most?) companies nowadays impose blanket trading restrictions for the month before earnings reports. I know Google does, and probably the other FAANGs as well.

In my example, the brother-in-law would get caught and questioned, since the SEC actively watches for trades just before major moves in a stock. He could expect to be asked "why did you short Google?" I would not want to be in his shoes. And the employee could also expect to get asked why he called the BIL. Would the SEC go that far? They certainly could; whether they always do or not, it's "do you feel lucky?"

Do you think we can't dig up examples where this has happened?

In any case, the "blind trust" is the answer to conflicts of interest. Public officials have the ability to affect the fortunes of any private company by the performance of their duties, and that's why they're quite often required to use one.
Your contrarian approach is detrimental to proper research. Authors have found a very strong link that cannot be explained by any other risk factors. What risk factors are you suggesting they should look into?
Thanks for replying :)

> Plus, the "truth is in the middle" thing motivates actors on all sides to make up extreme lies.

No, this is not what the research points to. Rather, having people confidently (and NOT weakly) holding middle positions strengthens groups' abilities to reach consensus. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdfExtended/S0960-9822(...

And yes, I understand that this research is intentionally on topics of ambiguous morality, but that is because that served the protocol design: they didn't want to complicate the protocol with there being a "right" answer someone could look up. And increasingly in our public discourse, factual and moral disagreements are starting to share the same human qualities/challenges anyhow. Conversation about facts are increasingly like conversations about morality, and will be increasingly so as we become more networked.

> Arguments are not just about abstract things.

Believe me, I get that. I'm not overlooking that. But it doesn't matter to the divide that exists, and the steps required to repair it. And for me, the main value in even noticing a difference in perception is to repair it. Noting it for any of reason is just for posterity, and is pretty pointless imho.

Example: Someone you care to engage with believes their experience of the Mandela Effect[1] means they're hopping between dimensions. For the sake of stakes, pretend this is breaking apart this person's marriage. Pretend that giving up on them isn't something you want to do. There is a very clear factual truth here: the Mandela Effect makes no sense as anything more than human forgetfulness. But it's entirely possible that no amount of "bringing the truth" will change their mind, especially when they can easily hop on the internet and be validated by others who (for their own reasons) believe the same thing.

The more likely way to bring them to your reality is to be in closer relationship to their view. To ask questions about it. To make them feel like you're trying to understand and see what they do. Even if you believe 100% that they are wrong, you need to enter a mindset and perspective where they might be right.

That's all I mean. It's basically practicing humility about things you think you already know, because knowing something factual misses the whole process and serves no one. And honestly, my experience of building reflexes for acting this way, is that you actually do learn some things you thought you already knew. Maybe not about hopping dimensions, but about the underlying drives and motivations that animate the curious conclusions at the surface.

In the original Scrum book, Sutherland makes it a point that separating things in little chunks make everything more manageable. He also includes an example where Scrum is used in a school in the Netherlands; every homework and every assignments are separated into little chunk and the students had increased grades.
I've never understood the point of these. If I need Lua for an existing system, the #1 thing I want is types, because that's also probably the #1 reason I'm looking for a Lua alternative. (And if I'm developing my own system, my role doesn't intersect with its role.) If I could have anything it'd be KaiLua, but finished and usable.
Just because a word doesn't have a 1-to-1 correlation with a word in another language doesn't mean it's not translatable; in fact, this website shows that they are translatable. Even more, it's not analytically true that any word in one language shares a perfect mapping with a word in another language. This is evident when you translate a word into another language and back into the native language and find yourself with a different (albeit perhaps related) word.

W.V.O. Quine made some remarkable points about translation [1], although not all philosophers (cf. John Searle) agree that the scenarios he suggested are as problematic as he contended.

I was surprised that the Turkish “huzun” was omitted. As I understand it, from reading Orhan Pamuk, for an Istanbouli it essentially means the despair of living in a city that was for more than a millennia the capital of the world and never again will achieve those heights.
I think the question wasn't about whether Google smears leap seconds on their time service, which has debatable benefits and drawbacks, but rather about your use of "leaked" and "the pool". You should not mix smearing and non-smearing NTP services. I don't believe Google intentionally participates in any NTP pool projects.
Being wrong is a great way to extract information from people. Simply asking is ineffective. There's less status to be gained by informing someone, than by setting the record straight, or putting someone in their place. Unfortunately, being wrong is also a great way to lose status.
It’s a science and engineering problem.
