I have a DevTerm from clockwork pi [1] which is a very capable device modeled after a TRS 80.

It made me realize that the most important feature (to me) is the keyboard. Anything that you can't type on fluently is not really very useful.

The DevTerm has an almost large enough keyboard, but the keys are squishy and tilt slightly when typing, which kills touch typing. I really wish someone made a newer version of the Sony Vaio P - ultra slim, widescreen and perhaps a 60% sized keyboard.

I mean that’s kind of the definition of a weapon. The atomic bomb was also just the codification of some ideas into a physical machine.
That's why I prefer the term "marginalized groups".
Literally every "skilled immigrant" is supposedly earning 57k or more. Everything else is a strategic move to keep salaries low. So, evey skilled migrant looking to work harder and more is going to get taxed almost half of that effort plus social constributions (up to the limit) and soli (still exists). There are tax-free allowances like in night shift bonuses, but those apply not to most workers. The base tax exempted income is much too low as well. Should be at least double the current 10k or so.
That the majority of that NYT homepage weight is in low-priority video does not lend much credence to it being a text-only site. On an iPhone 12, it's also a 14,000px tall site, chock full of content. The HTML document size alone nearly disqualifies it from being on this list.

It feels rather... pointless? to pick on a news organization's homepage for being bloated, and then gesture at some guy's 9kB portfolio saying "see! this is speed!"

Though I have seen user-developed software used the right way, I've also seen what you've described.

Aside from the concerns you raise, there also a tendency for information to get siloed. Different areas of the business start hoarding data. And people start using the same term to describe different things, etc. The incentive to share and use common definitions is often lost.
Obviously, this depends on the source, e.g.: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/least-rac...

I don't think it's correct to generalize this for most of the curriculum.

Most people do learn some math skills. Many kids learn more than the basics. Obviously experiences vary. Yes, there are a lot of out-of-classroom factors.

I think second language learning is a more extreme case though. Many language programs seem to produce very little. Math doesn't have that kind of variance. If kids' math skills are years behind another school system's... that gets noticed and acted on. If a language program produces almost no language skills, it tends to just be accepted.

Right, but the number of shares offered at the start of your vesting period is based on the current value of the stock, right? So you would expect to be offered 2x the shares in a company whose share price is 1/2 of the others. So, like with all investing, you would be concerned with the percent increase?

I think regulatory capture is a risk (and a real problem in some fields), but I'm not convinced it's a big risk as far as right to repair is concerned. Of course we can only speculate at this point since we don't know which exact laws would be enacted.

But in general, I don't see how not actively working against repairs would take a big toll on small companies. And yes, I think smaller companies (too) should be responsible, respect the end user's desire to repair a broken object, and avoid creating unrepairable eWaste. Anecdotally I've seen plenty of small companies be very helpful with regard to repairs.
Congrats from CreatorHub! :)
I must say that you picked a particularly poor example with which to make your point.
Excellent distillation of the problem.

What strikes me most is that it reminds me of reading about studies of hunter-gatherer societies who pretty much spent 4 hours 'working' each day. Seems like these limits might be fairly hard-wired.

And, sure, I can do massive crunch-time sprints with the best of them, but only for limited times.

And management guidance & feedback that aligns with these realities is critical to prevent the environment from becoming toxic.
Different devices do not talk to each other, subscription models for lots of functionality, no open access to code, no updates, lax security, lax privacy. The list goes on.
I do not see how diversity is a relevant factor. You can have a very diverse, shitty company and great non-diverse company. Anecdotal evidence: Company where I work at is likely not diverse according to woke standards, but it is a great place to work at.
Most keyboard layouts do not have symbols anywhere near the places they are on the US layout. Letters, yes, but not brackets, punctuation etc.
I was forced to learn Latin for six years during high school and college, and I detested it. Also two years of Greek. I argued it would be much more useful to learn a living language like German, Italian, whatever. And I am fluent in English, French and Spanish.

Yes, for green work that is a good scheme. I always joke I must be exceedingly stupid because I have to do everything three times before I get it done.
The downside is precisely that they are forced to do something they do not want to do. I am against that in general terms. Consumers are not forced to buy those phones either.
Why is demand increasing in Munich?
Yea, there still some corner cases and implementation bugs out there. We spent months deliberating how to deal with some of these. Because the base libraries in some languages just don't produce string output from IEEE 754 the same way.

IIRC, Java is different from Python is different from Go. So, really, this is a standardization in languages problem. We tried to work around these as best we could in the OM format.
If you're in the US, studying French was the first mistake.

Over time, it's increasingly struck me as negligent (in most US localities) to teach anything besides Spanish. We've got a huge sub-population that faces all kinds of obstacles because the English-speakers can't communicate with them and we're fucking around with Latin?

My extended family on my dad's side speak Spanish and I took Latin in high school? I can't talk with 3 out of 4 of the guys working on my house!

Yes. It’s the only way we’ve found to be able to deliver large features in a timely manner without a giant push at the end before launch because all functionality is tested internally and delivered by deployed in a dark launch. Separating deployment from launch was one of the biggest improvements to our ability to deliver value to the business.
I also think “GNU+Linux” is a terrible name and a worse marketing move, but you might misunderstand what it’s about. There’s no “GNU license”, and nobody ever proposed calling the system “GPL+Linux”. GNU sees itself as a project to replace the entirety Unix (hence the name, GNU’s Not Unix). A kernel is one part of the full OS, so if you combine the Linux kernel with the rest of GNU’s OS, according to this logic you get GNU+Linux. (Or maybe it should be GNU-Hurd+Linux, or GNU=~s/Hurd/Linux/... it's terrible.)

> only in very specific domains like IT, engineering and some areas of medicine

Because these are globalized domains.

The expertise necessary to work in these areas is very much the same in Germany, Latin America or Asia. Therefore any immigrant can do them anywhere.

OTOH, the required knowledge to work in law, business and other related areas are dependent on the place it is applied.

The DEI people seem to me like they have a tendency to try to enforce their view via legislation. So I'm skeptical about the "market will decide" part.
Sorry, the work environment is inherently political these days.

I'll "keep my political beliefs outside the work environment" when it's no longer political to say that

- Women, queer people, and minorities should be hired, treated, and paid the same as straight cis white men

- Abusive and exploitative treatment of workers is unacceptable

- Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of where they are on a corporate org chart

You say people should "keep their political beliefs outside the work environment" as if the managers, directors, C-suite, etc aren't imposing their political beliefs on us every moment of every day.

Groupies, maybe? I've encountered them hanging on even celebrity impersonators (in Los Angeles) and cover bands (in Las Vegas), not just originals. Not to mention authors and visual artists. Most artistic scenes seem to attract them.
It's a little bit of both. Simple to implement, simple (and fast/cheap) to parse, and human readable.

Clue's in the name. A respiratory virus, of which there are many.

>covid-19 variants are generally more contagious than the flu, so mask and social-distancing policies that are somewhat effective at reducing covid transmission are vastly more effective at reducing influenza transmission

Apparently common colds and the like are even more contagious than Covid-19, as the country where I live has had a mask mandate since September 2020 and I have been ill numerous times with regular sniffles and colds.

I take your point with the data you provided (although there's no information on sampling methods and thus the statistical significance of those numbers. We also don't have a similar data point for the UK), but it's a stretch to attribute it to masks and social control measures. I'm not in the US, but I don't think that policies have changed much over the past year - yet flu is back this winter.
> One of the reasons that I hated being a manager, was because the job involved a lot of sitting around, waiting for stuff to happen.

As a manager-of-managers, when I hear that a manager is doing "a lot of sitting around, waiting for stuff to happen", it's usually a sign that something has gone wrong.

Don't get me wrong: I don't expect everyone to be productive 100% of the day, but if managers are reaching a point where even they feel like they have too much free time then one of two things has happened:

1) The company has grossly over-hired for the workload at hand. If all the tasks are done and the manager couldn't find anything to do if they tried, it's possible that the company just hired way too many people or greatly under-shot their workloads.

This really does happen at some companies that get so big and profitable that executives start chasing headcount and having the biggest department they can get away with. You end up with so many managers that most of them spend their days sitting around or, even worse, inventing new and unnecessary work for their teams just to fill time. It's not good.

2) Or: Managers have too narrow of a view of what their job is. Speaking generally (not accusing the parent comment) - This often happens when developers who haven't experienced good management or managerial mentoring get promoted into their own management positions and assume their job is literally just to delegate to the engineers and then check on them until it's done. In non-stagnant tech companies, there is always more for managers to be doing: Reviewing/updating documentation, helping with hands-on testing of the product, observing or interacting with customers to get a deeper understanding of the problem, coordinating with the sales team to get a better understanding of their domain, and the list goes on. Many of these tasks aren't immediately obvious without proper managerial mentorship, and they might be downright foreign if your only experience with managers has been of the delegate-and-wait variety.

Personally, my experience was that I was far busier as a manager than I ever was as an IC. IC work is more narrowly scoped and easier to constrain to specific time limits, or get targets and deadlines shifted according to however much work could be done. As a manager, the amount of work that could be done was both never-ending and also extremely varied, comprising tens or maybe hundreds of possible tasks that often needed attention in parallel, combined with the inter-personal demands of managing people and constant hiring.
A lot of money in the US went to businesses through the PPP and similar programs. That was mostly a good thing as far as keeping businesses from closing or laying off workers. But I think pumping up non-productive assets was the second-order effect, where tons of stimulus money that people didn’t need immediately got dumped into speculative stocks, real estate, etc. the alternative would have been keeping it in savings accounts earning 0.01% while you saw all your friends “getting rich” YOLOing on meme stocks.

You sure are picking very specific items from whole immigrating-to-another-country experience.

People who emigrate purely for money tend to end up miserable from my experience. Since you mention Poland it gets into ridiculous territory - its a joke of democracy, extremely religious to the point when its not even fun to joke about. That part alone would make me leave for better places. And there are many more reasons to leave, mostly unfixable in one's lifetime.

A week doesn't go by when I don't read about some horror story from Poland about pregnant woman dying due to hospital refusing to remove surgically fetus which died in her due to archaic religious laws, ending up predictably with sepsis and complete failure of organs. Women doing illegal abortions in shady places which end up in their deaths. 3rd world country proper. Utterly corrupted, and properly fucked up country just like its neighbors (I know since I was born in one of them and went countless times to Poland).

The salary disparities in metropoles you mention are true mostly anywhere in developed world, and certainly true in eastern Europe at this point (Bratislava, Prague, Budapest etc.).

If you plan kids its a nobrainer - every parent wants best for their children, and raising them in such society gives them already such a bad start in life. Yeah, i would take Munich above any place in Poland or countries around anytime.
> Primary problems stated for the Model S were issues with the suspension wishbones, as well as problems with fog lights and low beams.
That is a very interesting idea! It is not something we've discussed before as far as I know. For some utils (like chmod) it might be possible, but any util that is focused on outputting information currently does so by printing directly to stdout. So, ls doesn't give you a Vec or Iterator of listed files for instance, but instead prints them to stdout. Nevertheless, it would be a cool experiment to see if we can create something like a "ulib" crate that would provide the functions some functions for which it is possible.
I have tried a few others, but from further investigation the issue seems to be due in large part to Synapse being incredibly slow. If you watch /sync a few times in Element (initial syncs are even worse), the TTFB for /sync is incredible. On top of this, you have Element taking up gigabytes of RAM for seemingly nothing at all, so my laptop regularly kills it due to OOM (This could also be in part due to Flatpak shared libraries / sandbox bloat).

I'm very much hoping they will hurry up with Sync v3, which would make this protocol a hell of a lot easier to use (for me, and a lot of other people). Right now booting up Element (or any other Matrix client, this is really a protocol issue) feels like a major chore, and it's something I prefer to avoid if I can. This is also why I keep Telegram installed on both my mobile, desktop and laptop.

Aside from Element, there isn't really much choice on Linux anyway. Fractal is ancient and gets stuck at "Syncing", Nheko takes up gigabytes of memory on initial sync until OOM'd, FluffyChat doesn't really work on my desktop (neither does NeoChat, Quaternion, Spectral), etc. etc. If you name a Matrix client, I have most likely tried it before and it didn't work (aside from Fractal Next, which doesn't have a release yet FWICS).

I've also considered hosting some sort of XMPP service, then bridging my Matrix account to said service so I don't have to endure the poor UX of various Matrix clients. Then again I'm not sure how the end-to-end encryption would work with that, and I would like to keep that if possible.

I have never experienced (or had to endure) an app with such poor UX as Element. Nothing seems to work quite as it should, sometimes it just plainly refuses to work, and other times you get issues which have been reported multiple years ago to the Matrix team (and still have yet to be fixed).

At this point I am very worn out of having to use Matrix, however due to my moderational duties I have no other choice.

I am *very* surprised that the list of requested permissions on Google Play does *not* have to match the actual permissions which the app gets when installed.

Is it really true that you can just leave out permissions in this list and then just get them once people install your app?
I recommend one per team. You want somebody who is knowledgeable on the specifics of any part of the system that could break. I don't think having more than 1 is a requirement though, if we're talking about small companies. As long as there is a "break glass in case of emergency" way to push to production that is auditable.
