It’s true across the board, but is relevant to things done across the board. So it is more relevant to public health than the disproportionate impact of scuba diving.

Except for, perhaps, the posters purchased outside of Parliament. Directly across the street they should put up a billboard showing the logos of all the Cayman Islands banks.
Wasn’t it floundering before?
"I just want my children to have a relatively care-free existence in their formative years, much like I had. Children and young people are not without their own low-stake drama but they should not have this weight of forced upon them at that age."

Kids read newspapers. They know what's happening. Even high school kids are depressed by things like climate change, income inequality and the broken Canadian real estate market. I don't think encouraging the spread of disease is likely to cheer them up much.
Once a (freely available) file is downloaded onto a computer that I own & control, they don't have any legal right to restrict what I do with those file(s), as long as I don't generate any derivative works. Using the font in a terminal or editor does not constitute a derivative work.

For example, I can use this as my terminal font on my Debian machine, and write code using it, but I can't post a screenshot of that terminal or code to Twitter.

I'm going to be charitable and assume you don't think this actually happens, and are simply using this image for rhetorical effect. But, in the interest of trying to be helpful in yet-another-stupid-covid-thread, here's the CDC's take[1]:

>Among 1,228,664 persons who completed primary vaccination during December 2020–October 2021, severe COVID-19–associated outcomes (0.015%) or death (0.0033%) were rare. Risk factors for severe outcomes included age ≥65 years, immunosuppressed, and six other underlying conditions. All persons with severe outcomes had at least one risk factor; 78% of persons who died had at least four. [Emphasis mine]

Now, I'm not saying it's time to stop worrying about this completely. Who knows, maybe a new "worse" variant comes up. But the existing data does not in any way make me worried about getting this, because I'm relatively young and healthy. Make your own judgements on personal risk, but if I were in charge I'd go completely back to normal tomorrow. Those who are still concerned are free to quarantine of their own free will, but I do not think it's fair to force the youngest to put their lives on pause because some people are still terrified of this.

In my experience, even if I do change an enum value I also want to change the name in code. Having enum { complete = 'finished' is a little weird so I just change it to enum { finished = 'finished' } anyway.
70% is surprisingly low to me. I'm currently looking for startup roles, and it's genuinely difficult to find any that don't offer remote, to the point that I'm starting to seriously consider a career change.

In the last year there was a rather large UI overhaul on the desktop client [0] that was met with mixed reactions from its users (doing a search in their community forum can locate some such threads). I for one was left with a bad taste in my mouth when it launched due to some pretty major changes of how libraries and albums were handled. Though some things have been fixed, I'm still sour on a lot of the changes.

By sending the DNS request out of the other interface: the mobile network… which is the expected scenario in the case of a network interruption on the Wi-Fi interface.

But after rereading the parent comment, I think they could have a misconfiguration with their VPN. I just ran a few DNS leak tests with my WireGuard setup on iOS and they all go over the VPN to my personal resolver.

Or maybe only portions of the OS is leaking around the VPN (i.e not safari but system components).
I wish people would argue in good faith in these types of discussions about responsible use of encryption.

No one is arguing that we should remove E2EE between you and your bank. With cryptographic systems we can choose what parties can see the plain text. For different situations the people who should be able to decrypt and the requirements needed to be able to decrypt may be different. I feel like this is a challenging discussion to have because there's people on both sides who lack information / knowledge leading them to make poor arguments.
I think I've seen some ex-Googler rant from few years back that performances are measured by impacts, excitements, endorsements rather than objective engineering measures, which he claims overvalues destructive product launches and undervalues necessary maintenance or improvements. I long lost the pointer to the rant but that has been very consistent with my user side experiences.

This change destructs obsolete QR Code reading feature[that needed no change], is impactful[in negative sense], and fixes erroneous URLs[as if there are many]. If you drop negative expressions in brackets it fits a lot of bills.

What is "accessible" in this context is purely a state and attitude of the intellect.
The numbers was what I was mainly thinking of, so thanks for your exhausting enumeration of those problems.

Jason.org requires white space for empty arrays and objects while RFC 8259 does not (and I often see [] and {} in the wild).

A lot of packages de fact break the spec in other ways, such as ppl blatting python maps out rather than converting them to JSON so that the keys are quoted as ‘foo’ rather than “foo”. I’ve complained about this when trying to parse the stuff only to receive the response “it works for me so you must have a bug” from the pythonistas. This has happened in multiple projects.

?? The layering unionfs (really aufs or overlayfs) mounts docker does are all in kernel. There's no userspace involvement in the actual file ops. I'm not at all sure what you think any of that has to do with the idea of usermode filesystem handling.

Anyways, on linux userland filesystem stuff (ie. fuse) is slow because the kernel manages the vfs layer and has to mediate. In a system designed for non-privileged vfs it doesn't have to be anywhere near so involved. And beyond that, there's really nothing in particular that a filesystem driver does that needs to be privileged to 'run fast'.

VFS is pretty much the posterchild case for how you can pull things out of a kernel and maintain performance, tbh. There's no reason at all it can't be fast except the kernel getting in the way rather than helping.

I’m not sure this is a crypto-specific problem, like TFA implies. Using a currency you don’t control is giving up a lot of power over your own economy. Wasn’t there a similar issue like this a few years ago in Greece because they use the Euro and couldn’t adjust to inflation because of that?
An “honest conversation” about COVID and children would treat it as a risk on the order of drowning, not something that warrants the terror people have.

You'd be surprised that some time_t bugs are actually security related.
there's been a rotation out of technology because of the prospect of interest rates going up. because most technology companies don't generate earnings (profits) for many years, and because many investors use DCF (discounted cash flow calculations) to value a company. the greater the interest rate, the lower the value for these business. that's why it's a broad sell-off.
The question you have to ask yourself about building an investment strategy around rising rates is: How much will they rise, how fast, and where does that quantity of increase on that schedule actually have an impact on my decision?

If you are looking at a 5 year time horizon will the changes in rates be enough, or fast enough to make a real difference? I personally doubt it unless an external shock acts on the market -- which of course could also cut the other way!

Oof. :(
Well yes, Hobbes’ hypothetical very bad society would be very bad. The point is questioning whether we have any evidence to suggest this hypothetical society has any grounding in reality or, as Graeber suggests, has just been convenient to liberal ideology for a couple centuries and thus accepted as fact.

source article which is somewhat better: https://fortune.com/2022/01/19/el-salvador-bitcoin-economy-d...

Some of the implied conclusions are intellectually dishonest, so it's quite a clickbait article, so really just skip to the last paragraph:

> The heavily indebted nation is seeking a $1 billion loan from the IMF and also courting aid from the World Bank. But Bukele's getting nowhere with both, and the IMF has strongly criticized his crusade to create the first Bitcoin-powered economy. In late November, Bukele unveiled his nuttiest idea yet, a plan to build a Bitcoin City on the Gulf of Fonseca, funded by a $1 billion bond offering, $500 million of which would be deployed to speculate in Bitcoins! Practically overnight, the price of sovereign bonds dropped from 75 cents to 63 cents of their par value, on its way to its current level of 36 cents. "El Salvador now has the most distressed sovereign debt in the world, and it's because of the Bitcoin folly," says Hanke. "The markets think that Bukele's gone mad, and he has."

Obvious money grab (wealth transfer) is seen as obvious. News at 11! The bitcoin aspect of all this is a bit of a ruse. It's the device, not the cause. Great for clicks.
My first thought was that this is using an emotional subject with a secret intent of a power grab. I could be wrong but I am curious about the actual numbers around CSAM on encrypted networks, and if there's other enforcement avenues.
You're being unnecessarily rude.

I never said the law worked exactly like code. I used your code metaphor to explain my point in language you might understand.

The textbook I used when I was teaching "Economics of Regulation"[1] emphasizes the fact that trying to drive individual risks to zero (acting, in the process, as if there is never a cost to trying to reduce risk) is a fool's errand.

Viscusi's "Pricing Lives"[2] is a great work. "VSL (value of a statistical life) is the risk-reward trade-off that people make about their health when considering risky job choices." Once you understand that, you understand how one ought to reason about whether one policy is better than another. Once you understand that, you come to the realization that the actual policies implemented bear no resemblance to the policies that ought to have been implemented in light of a rational cost-benefit calculation.

The point to take from it is (in my opinion) that our grasp might exceed our reach if we do not shy away tackling big projects at on some level. There is a fine line between this and "just believe and it will become true" bruhaha, but I agree with Hans Rosling on his idea of "possibilism" http://thirdways.net/factfulness-possibilists-book/ vs pessimism and optimism.

If the only criticism people can muster is "seems a bit much", then they didn't really engage with it. You can make an argument that hierarchies seem "natural", but "naturally" I and many others should be dead (childhood diseases), basically blind (very near sighted), multiple times a father already (nearing my 30s and sexually active) so even that is not really a strong rebuttal of the anarchist project. I think it might exist, but it warrants proper ponderance (at least when discussing deep thinkers like Bookchin), not dismissal.
> Who are we making these sacrifices for?

A mostly online minority who comes out of the woodwork to shout down the idea of any risk acceptance as equivalent to murder, or any restrictions as no big deal (see the replies to your comment). These people don't even exist in real life, but somehow they are now setting the tone of public discourse and policy. It is literally like if policymakers started reading through the unmoderated comments on news sites in 2005 and started using them as a basis for what we all need to do. We really just need to ignore these people.

Hi John,

A bit off topic, but if I would like to introduce such a handbook on my team as well, what technology does it use? It looks and feels so much fresher, clean and responsive than a simple wiki. I see it is markdown files with some CSS, but what engine do you use to build and render the handbook.

Is there a repo that holds the template to set up such a handbook?

Cheers and congrats. Always admired how you kept all your employees engaged with the handbook to not have it deteriorate, but thrive.
Socialization is the word you’re looking for. Kids need to be around other kids.
Yup, remote worker not employee. That being said, I'm officially a contractor, but I always work for just one client at a time and usually for many years, from Monday to Friday, just like one would with a regular job, except of course remotely. With my current client I even get paid vacations, while still technically being a contractor.

Apple Stops Releasing Security Updates for iOS 14 – Upgrade to iOS 15
Rich is probably the biggest lifestyle change I've ever had because of a single library.

Every one of my scripts now has quick and easy progress bars, console management (including saving a copy of console output), tables with columns, rows, and headers, "Processing..." blocks, colours, error logging, emoji, and on and on and on. It's really an amazing project that does a ton of stuff and makes it all easy to do.

If nothing else, add "from rich import print" to the top of your script (assuming you use print() statements) and see how your output looks afterwards, with highlighted numbers/floats, IP addresses, etc., formatted and syntax-highlighted JSON and repr output, and so on.
Hardware patents seem to make more sense than software patents. Words and diagrams are more constrained in possible interpretations with physical things. Software terms can be interpreted too damned many ways, making it an expensive lawyer war.

In my opinion we should either do away with software patents, or make sure they are interpreted in a sufficiently narrow way, and are clearly "not obvious". Further, "business processes" didn't used to be patentable, and that's the way it should be.

At least as far as browsers go, I think it's best to stick to the big 3 platforms which are Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.

The Loser’s Game (1975) [pdf]
A Farewell Message
It's simply the difference between claiming something is "impossible based on our current understanding/model of physics" and "impossible regardless of what we don't understand". Science gives us the first one, but the original commentator unambiguously claimed the second. Our models of the universe being wrong happens all the time, sometimes in significant ways, and even now there are plenty of unexplained things in our universe that have the potential to change our understanding. It seems pretty optimistic to assume our current models are guaranteed correct in every circumstance we haven't yet observed even when they can't explain everything we have actually observed.

So yes, perpetual motion could start working tomorrow, or could already exist for all we know. That doesn't mean it's wrong to say physics _currently_ says it's impossible and any claim better have some pretty good evidence to dispute it (which none currently do). But that also doesn't mean that if we're around centuries/millennia from now we won't have found a special case where our current understanding breaks down.
I see statements like this a lot, and I have to say they don't compute to me at all. They are eerily similar to the "cancel culture" conversation that comes up whenever someone quits out of their own volition.

Who is forcing your wife to shut down her day care, and how? If a subset of parents are uncomfortable sending their kids to day care for the foreseeable future, just tell them to come back when they're comfortable. Did your wife forget that it's her daycare?
> Without even trying to tackle the real elephant in the room: climate change.

I've never been a climate change denier but I had secretly hoped it would occur slow enough that our economy could possibly adjust for it, over time. Judging by the weather chaos we've already started to see over the past few years it seems like an impossible dream now.

Our economy is predicated on a certain amount of climatic stability over time. a sort of "bounded expected risk". The more investment you have to make into risk mitigation the less you have to invest in productive pursuits. We will be stuck treading water, if we're even lucky, instead of swimming forward.
Is it conceivable that the attraction of the Bay Area will steadily decline as a result? Or most people here still expect it to recover once offices are open again and life is back to normal?

I love the climate myself. But on this very forum every other day people from CA discuss things which don't exactly justify 10% of income lost. In addition to the usual RE prices, AP classes, and surge in crime anecdata I see curious facts such as these:

* https://www.meritechcapital.com/blog/2021-review-select-saas... ("Company Headquarters" in particular)

* https://www.saastr.com/the-third-wave-of-migration-from-the-...

Remote work would make CA residents not competitive with people from saner states on CoL alone. I believe most big companies are still planning on something like 3 days onsite later this year. But historically startups have employed a lot of us too. Could the job market diverge into startups in Austin and BigCo in the SFBA?
The notion of sentience is something that's unsurprisingly well-trodden in both philosophy and neuroscience. Your statements presumes that such is flippant.

While there's not a single well-agreed on definition, there are different things like ability to see and project oneself into the future and to assign value to those projections, the ability to empathize, the ability to miss things that are no longer there, etc. are often metrics used for higher levels of sentience.

We know that humans and some other mammals do these things. I believe I remember that there's some debate about crows and some other birds. While octopuses are the only invertebrate that has passed the "mirror-test", part of what this article is getting at is that we don't know much about their emotions and extended sense of self, and assigning them to a high category of sentience may be premature. (Or not; asking that question is what this article is about.) But human sentience isn't trivial.

Your argument is basically, "We're all chemical systems, eh?" And sure, at some level that's true, but it's not really enlightening to the discussion.
I am curious why nobody tries to build a workforce for non urgent projects out of this group.

I see charities scrimping and saving to pay for highly skilled people that they really do not need on a full time basis and must scratch my head and wonder why.

You could pay 60,000 for a not great dev. Or you could pay 30,000 for a part time dev and could easily land someone who regularly earns 150K.
I can’t help but be a bit of a contrarian. I’m still skeptical regarding remote work being the optimal workplace strategy. I think there will emerge a competitive edge to companies that have their employees working in office settings, at least part of the time.
They are waves in a density gradient caused by gravity - it's unfortunate, but essentially there are two things with the same name - English is like that some times
Well, yes. If you properly implement it, most utopias will look similar. Where most anarchists diverge from libertarians, minarchists or "anarcho-capitalists" (even though people might criticize me for the scare quotes) is that they go further in their demands on what counts as "justification" and place a higher focus on positive freedoms. And this is where it gets tricky and there is need for further insight, experimentation with organisation, cultural development...
Low latency is even more important than the article suggests.
