I too, am bothered by some of the history of tobacco-related data. I am ok with the government using indirect methods to reduce tobacco deaths.

Wearing perfume doesn't makebthe too of preventable deaths. Perfume smell may be as annoying as cigarette smoke to some people. There's a clear reason why there's societal pressure to address and regulate one I dustry as opposed to another.

Whether a given government is using shit science and where it draws its concerns in regards to societal pressure valves to release, has a lot to do with who the leaders of the administration are. This is why politics needs to be a leading concern for any researcher or citizen that prefers effective methods of dispersing evidence-based knowledge.
There is a similar situation in northern Italy, where there is an area known as Val di Non. Their dialect sounds as much French as Italian, even though it's south of Innsbruck, far from France.

These things seem to have one thing in common — they are areas historically isolated from one another, usually by mountains or valleys. Before cars (or even roads) were common, you could almost throw a rock at the next town over, but to actually go there would take a day or more.
Thank you!

I did spend some time ensuring core functionality is sound on mobile.

I have plans for a more integrated experience to allow users to share with Bleep using the native share functionality, but likely the rest of experience will remain web-based.

You have it backward. This is installing a red light in the middle of a road where there is no intersection because 10 years from now there is a plan to build a crossroad and then wondering why people are angry about a traffic jam in the middle of nowhere. People who ignore warnings are the people who run new red lights and will eventually kill someone when the intersection goes in. The people who upgrade them to errors stop at red lights, don't kill anyone, and get rightfully pissed that someone put a red light up 10 years too early.

" Its like calling Android Linux." is it using a Linux kernel? if yes then Android is also Linux... are saying GNOME or KDE are not Linux ? even though they use a Linux Kernel. Yea Android does not contain GNU tools and libraries but it still is Linux.

7 percent inflation over a decade is one doubling, so it cuts your 100x return down to 50x. That seems like it might move some needles on valuations.

Meanwhile, the money you invest will also not create quite as much runway for the companies you invest in, so the fraction of successful exits may also decline.

If interest rates appreciate to keep up with inflation, time horizons compress -- future revenue is worth less, and today's revenue is worth more. This drops risk appetite for investors, who move from tech IPO darlings like Rivian to boring stable earners like utilities, so that will also decrease likely valuations your startups get when they IPO, potentially by another order of magnitude, dropping your 50x down to 5x.
Pretty often, when I need to work with floating-point images or uncommon number of channels and not limited to Python (where .npy is more convenient).

Also used it some time ago for binary images since it supports the CCITT Group4 and JBIG2 compression.
I still don't understand how the elevated Consul latency ended up bringing all of the fleet to halt, fail health checks and drop user traffic. I guess use cases calling consul directly (e.g. service discovery) or indirectly (e.g. vault) could not tolerate having stale reads or sticking with what they've read? If anyone can shed a light on this, I appreciate.
> Reminds me how Mozilla removes various things from Firefox...because their telemetry tells them nobody uses them

Got I hate telemetry. I usually (and I imagine many people) turn it off because I don't like my stuff phoning back to the mothership, but then some brainless moron mindlessly uses their "data" for decision-making, and rips out good features.

This is especially dumb for Mozilla. Who do they think still uses Firefox? The people who want some dumbed down minimalist lookalike? Their overall browser market-share isn't too much more than Samsung Internet, and probably the only reason anyone still uses it anymore is that it's not as dumbed down as Chrome. Maybe they should just run with being the browser for power users, with all kinds of interesting niche features and customization.

Honestly, UX telemetery probably should be banned for everything except error reporting. Nothing good seems to come of it. If you want to know what people do with your stuff, just try to empathize and maybe have some focus groups.
There's no reason for the sales staff to be in the same room as eachother. Plenty of B2B deals happen remotely, even pre-covid. I don't recall any customers coming on site at my last B2B company and there's no way sales had a travel budget. Remote workers are equally or better suited to occasional visits to customer locations anyway.
I am reminded of the candy tax my state tried 10 years ago and was quickly repealed. Food and candy had different tax rates, and it was decided that if it had flour as a ingredient is was food not candy leading to situations simiarbitray pricing. So kitkat was food snickers were candy
Agree. This is what I've been saying to all my friends/coworkers. You like remote and your company doesn't? switch jobs. You like being in the office and your company went remote? Switch jobs. Problem solved... not everyone is the same and not everyone enjoys the same way of working.

There is no enough money in this world to make me go back to 2~3 hours a day commute in a crowded bus.
The Windows 10/11 debacle... I only use Windows 10 to play Fornite. And only because Epic don't release Fornite & Epic Launcher for Linux. Nearly every game that I play, ran native on Linux or just ran fine over Wine/Proton. If I can, I would NEVER touch the dumpster fire that is Windows 11.

A sane GNU/Linux distro with Plasma/KDE, have a user experience that it's far superior to Windows. It's simply works out of the box, don't spam you, and don't spy you. And offer a familiar UI where the user can customize it totally.
I strongly disagree. Two of the major flaws of pre-Nadella Microsoft were arrogance and complacency.
Also - do you think google makes any many from google news.

Maybe not directly, but maybe the algorithm as to what to display can be slightly “biased”, through the right channels, the one in which causes more money/control to flow google’s way.

Maybe if sold it wouldn’t be worth much, but how much. Slur is it worth to google, if the brand name stayed with it how much would it take for them to sell?
Cannabis use produces persistent cognitive impairments: meta review
Yes. It's incredible narcissism on the part of those that propose vaccination of other people for their own protection, or in the name of protecting others.

If someone wants to protect themselves from the virus, let them take the vaccine, but don't impose it on others as a proselytization of salvation. Even if they are truly doing it to keep other people around them safe, or truly do have someone's best interest at heart, nothing justifies the forceful baptism of another individual.

If anything, learn from stories online about children abused by narcisstic parents. Stories of having parents who think they know better for you than what you know for yourself, to have parents who demand encroaching power over their children's personal space, to have parents that want to abuse you and your body for their own psychological issues. What is going on is undeniable narcissism charading as "I know what's best for you" / "I do it because I love you".

Even if we had undeniable proof that vaccines work 100% of the time, even if we knew vaccines took our souls to heaven, even if we knew undeniably that vaccines would save us from brimstone and fire, no amount of state power should be allowed to exert that much control over an individual.

So yes, it is a classic trolley problem, in the sense that it is a decision to save the highest number than to save an individual. And those in support of vaccinating others not themselves are deliberately choosing to save the number 5 over an individual, which as I've ranted on you, is incredibly narcissistic. Because if they really cared about someone else, they would let them choose their own path, regardless of salvation or damnation.
Do you remember the name of a cartoon short involving a rotund orange cat walking around the city doing engaging in various hijinks before it arrived home unnoticed? It's been bugging me for ages. It played between shows in place of a commercials in-between shows circa 2006.
Testing for security bugs means mostly fuzzing these days. AddressSanitizer is added instrumentation, flagging illegal program states even when the test case wouldn't trigger a crash normally.

Fuzzing helps but it's a probabilistic method with fallible search mechanisms, there's going to be cases left that an intelligent adversary can find by reasoning, a different/better fuzzer, better instrumentation, or alt techniques like symbolic execution etc.
Your answer should be voted to the top! :)

OSS contributors are rarely noticed or appreciated. Did HashiCorp ever sponsor you or share any revenue with you? The OSS ecosystem is broken.
Isn’t this line of reasoning assuming Uber / AirBnB capture 100% of the market? I don’t think that’s a realistic assumption.

"Dog food? No, thank you."
Mixed environments (within a team) don't work well. People at the office will have conversations that won't get written down anywhere, so remote workers are in disadvantage all the time.

In my experience, either the entire team is in a single place or all of them are remote. Now having teams some teams in the office and some others 100% remote, that could work, but I'm skeptical too.
> I'd suggest that most of society still runs on the honor system (especially finance and law)

Did I claim Microsoft did such a study? No. I fucking didn't. Read my reply to the user @picture. I'll post a snippet:

"Did Microsoft do this type of test before release their OS? I think so... but I'm not 100% sure. Are consumers using these metrics when decrying the UI changes??? I am 100% sure the answer is NO... they are not."

Basically what I'm saying here is that your opinion is complete and utter dog shit unless you have metrics to back it up. You obviously don't, so my point still stands.

Gay Mullins literally stated that new coke tasted like dog shit. I see a parallel here.

Also I did say this:

"Inevitably there will be someone who replies to me insisting that it's worse due to some personal yet convincing anecdotal experience. But until you take the UI equivalent of a blind taste test I'm not sure if this is sensation transference or an actual real rational judgement. "

That quote above is referring to you. I saw it coming because it's so typical.
>Yes, in ideal conditions your office might approach what you get working at home,

In my experience I am more productive in office, lots of other people seem to feel the same. I guess I'm just lucky to have worked in lots of more than ideal offices, or, as seems more likely people's home conditions vary to such an extent that you can't make a blanket statement.
The best approach. Plus, the freedom for the employee to work on other projects. i.e. part-time contractor with some benefits.
> Then to justify Uber's market cap, the annual transportation budget per person needs to be at least US$100, and the annual lodging budget per person needs to be at least US$150.

This is also ignoring potential for expansion into other markets. For example, Uber's model might be useful for trucking services. You bought some used furniture, you want a truck to come and bring it to your house. You're a plumber, you need a water heater transported from the warehouse right away for an emergency job. Open the app.

Uber has a large number of drivers connected to them, why not go into competition with UPS and FedEx?

Maybe things like that succeed, maybe they don't. But if they do they make a lot more money, and the possibility that they do makes the company more valuable.
> I tried to use that trick for a window that got stuck offscreen.

Aside to your larger point, but WIN+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW (restore), WIN+SHIFT+LEFT or RIGHT ARROW (move monitor) are an alternative go-to for saving off-screen windows.

You can also reconfigure Powertoys Run to use a different key-combination than ALT-Space.
The fact that you can't anchor it to the side blows my mind.

Also that the bar takes up the whole screen width, which is quite poor UX for an ultra wide monitor.

I did put in some feature requests to address!
KDE has 95% of the things you've mentioned for at least 5 years, if not longer (I'm using KDE for more than a decade, so I don't remember exact dates).

I clearly remember that when Windows introduced auto-snapping/auto-scaling windows, I looked and giggled as yet another KDE feature made its way to one of the "bigger" environments.
Oh no!

Anyway...
Seems similar to "He Who Shrank" - I didn't read the book though.

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

ETA: Seems that was a popular story line from that time.

Also seems similar to Inception, with the idea that diving into deeper dream levels makes time in those levels run slower than in the real world.
What ? I can't speak about Gnome and other DMs, but KDE experience with multimonitor, it's better. It simply works out of the box. I don't get monitors swapped aleatory. I can designated my primary screen without issues.
Also, snapping windows was a feature on Linux DMs like decades ago!
Even if all of this were true (which I don't think anyone seriously believes anymore), there is still no way startups can compete right now without remote offerings.

The only reason I would consider working in an office full time (and I already live within commuting distance of a major tech-hiring metro) would be for $450K total comp or higher. Plenty of big companies can offer that these days, but startups are still going to mostly pay $200k as an upper limit (since they have no RSUs to throw on the pile).

There are plenty of companies that offer remote and total comp in that former range, there is absolutely no way you're going to hire any talent as startup now without remote as an option, even if remote were sub-optimal for your long term development.
> Unless your world view is that we should all teach our children to be maximally selfish and to not care when grandma dies then thinking only of your own direct mortality during a highly contagious pandemic is a bit silly.

Is this really necessary? You started by saying that COVID is multiple orders of magnitude more deadly than drowning. You were shown to be wrong, so you retreated to the “gotta protect grandma” stance (which is unrelated to your original claim, and also very possibly wrong), and then for good measure you knocked down a straw man and cast wrycoder as basically just evil for disagreeing with you.

The reality is that children seem to have extremely low risk from COVID. And it appears that they aren’t particularly likely to pass it to vulnerable populations. And those vulnerable populations should be vaccinated already (as should everyone eligible).

Maybe unmasking children would increase the danger to at-risk populations. Maybe that’s selfish. Maybe it’s selfish to keep demanding children wear masks for 8 hours/day out of fear when the evidence that it’s doing anything useful seems lacking. What I know is that COVID isn’t going anywhere and “everyone wear a mask all the time until the end of time” is not an end game strategy.

As an aside, the most frustrating thing about arguments (“discussions”) is that even when people are wrong and proven so, they rarely accept it or change they claims. They go right out saying the same stuff again. Most of the people spouting misinformation on both sides of the COVID debate are pretty well informed about the reality at this point. They just willfully ignore information that didn’t fit their narrative.
I don't think that's how it works in the government. They are more willing to pay for injuries caused by adversaries, not less.
Hiring a (good) DevOps or infrastructure engineer is harder and more expensive than you might think.

That said, you can go very far with stateless apps at the edge with regional read replicas and a single write instance that's half way across the globe.
Including free storage in the free plan is a good strategy. Aside from small projects, I bet it'll make it much easier for people looking to host their production workloads to try before buy. Love this!
I plan on working well past retirement age if I can continue to be remote. I actually enjoy a lot of what I do at work, especially now that the most painful parts are mitigated or eliminated. My career path now is just to work fewer hours and be picky about where I do work to keep doing what I enjoy. I can't see myself going into the office in my 60s but I could definitely imagine doing part time remote work.
Yes, but the _default_ (and that's what I was referring to) is a clustered index.
> "I'd rather not have a future employer have an easy link to my social media information"

So, to be clear, your right to post random ass thoughts on the internet under a pseudonym is sacred... but it's totally reasonable to RENEGE on EXISTING privacy agreements with real world actual existing real human patients about intimate health records?

Just so long as we're clear about the enormous esteem you hold yourself in and the absolute contempt you have for others' privacy...
I'm not sure this is true. Anecdotally, across three Fortune 500 tech companies I've worked at, designers / web devs / program managers had Macbooks (or had the option of choosing Macbooks) even when the team was developing primarily in Windows.

A person working in Greece or Portugal isn't payed the same amount of money as one in Germany or the Netherland nor the cost of living is the same. In some cases small "poorer" countries might actually have a critical advantage. In labour intensive industries that have Northern European clients it can be impactful. Of course there are several othet factors that have to be taken into account though.
> I agree that cities have a higher cost of living, but the people trying to pull me away from my current employer into new remote work don't seem to need to make that distinction!

You should move to these other employers, as this is the only way your current stingy employer will learn.
I don't know about other industries/professions, but... for developers? Not gonna happen. The demand for our skill is incredibly high, we're in a power position and as long as it is that way, pandemic or not, we can choose. And I know many people that, as me, would rather take a pay cut than go back to an office every day.

Salaries might at some point stabilize I suppose, as people will prefer to relocate to cheap places and overall there will be more offer of developers charging less money.

Overall I think this is a win-win for everyone (except middle managers that like micromanagement, those are the ones worried right now).
Dogfooding your own product isn't arrogance or complacency, it's common sense. If it's not good enough for you not to prefer a competitor, then it's not good enough to ship.

Arrogance is not doing any or ongoing competitive analysis.
> Why is this not the default in Windows?!

Because Microsoft is a giant dysfunctional bureaucracy and getting anything approved within the org takes ten years of meetings and tons of political capital. Whereas a non-Windows side project can run under the radar and just make cool stuff.
when you compare serbian and croatian and find them fairly similar it's worth keeping in mind that only holds true for the standard versions of those languages.

thing is these standard versions were developed and agreed upon more or less at a time -- mid 19th century and the whole nationalist movements thing in europe -- when there was a unitarian tendency among south slavic nations. so the standard versions are (1) essentially artificial, and (2) politically motivated to an extent.

once you get on the ground level of spoken language you find far more variance within each of the two -- the regional and even local dialects are very different from each other, to the point of seemingly being whole different languages were it not for the developed standard versions that tie them together.
I was describing how this metrics-driven style of development infected not just the core Windows team, but peripheral teams like the PowerToys group.

PowerToys used to be a rather benign system enhancement. It didn't take away any features I already relied on, it just added new features.

So when I saw that there was a new PowerToys for Windows 10, I installed it. I figured it wouldn't get in the way and I would discover its enhancements over time.

I didn't know at the time that it would disable a basic system keyboard shortcut that I had relied on decades.
This method does not seem extensible to more qubits...
So what's the best way to pack up a python cli app in a single artifact?

Right now I have an interactive python script that wraps a bunch of config files and has a few pip dependencies. currently i batch it in a docker container which is pretty heavyweight, and realistically needs its own wrapper script for users.

If there was an unfussy way to wrap that as a single artifact I'd look into making the whole thing python.
If someone gives you a PR that is a small, minimal change, and is backwards compatible, but fixing a load of issues because someone wants to improve their system and is often being used in tandem with yours... then you're kinda just being a troll.

Anything being used by other people will of course have changes. Software is never static unless you keep it to yourself in a locked basement.

This whole ordeal is sort of like having arguments with the wife and proving your point all the way to the divorce court, instead of just nodding, shrugging the shoulders, and getting on with life.
I think I it would bother me to have to click twice when working back and forth between two windows. Maybe another approach could be to only register the click action if there is no overlap? Then again, the inconsistency would probably be frustrating with that approach.
Apple is terrible at this. How do you close all tabs in Safari on iOS? Press and hold the tabs button. God forbid there was a button when viewing tabs.

Multi monitor comfort in Linux is a relatively new thing. In the olden days, that thing was flat out painful.

It's really well working in these days, but it was not like that until recently. I remember setting up Xorg.conf to get my single monitor working as it should.
