Crisis management is always a necessity during a crisis but you don't crisis manage your way to a solution.

I'm not interested in investing more of my time in crisis management for this problem space. I'm looking to find ways to actually shrink the problem.

I'm not saying we should stop doing any crisis management and I'm baffled that multiple people are reacting as if I had.

I'm saying one key piece is we need to resolve our housing supply issues. It's one piece. It's not a comprehensive solution but I think it's really important and far too many people seem to think lack of housing is somehow wholly unrelated to homelessness, which also baffles me.

I don't see how anyone can assert that but I run into pretty frequently.
It's fine to feel that way, but it's not a particularly effective approach in my opinion and in fact quite the opposite of what I look for in a manager. A good manager manages people; they understand people's strengths, weaknesses, goals, how to motivate and reward people, how to resolve potential conflicts, how to delegate, and how to help people grow. These are all people things. People are not robots which is exactly why they need to be managed. After all you typically do not manage robots, the point of using robots is that they're autonomous.

Problems are not things you really want to manage, maybe in the short run you can try to manage a problem, but ultimately the goal is to solve a problem as opposed to managing it. The goal of a manager is to assemble a team of people who can work together to solve problems.

Your issue is conflating management with superiority, you seem to think that someone who coaches a basketball team feels superior to its players. That couldn't be further from the truth. While Michael Jordan's coach was in his time a competent basketball player, he would never claim to have ever been better than Michael Jordan, and yet both he and Michael Jordan had an excellent working relationship without either of them feeling superior to the other [1].

The issue you have about superiority has nothing to do with solving problems or managing people. You could be a lawyer working entirely independently from developers and feel you are superior to them (or vice-versa). A good manager can cross multiple projects and multiple problems, because a good manager understands people first and foremost and lets competent people work on solving problems, as opposed to trying to manage problems.

Well I'm sure these truckers think and say it's a human rights issue not political, if you ban that you would ban the mechanism liberal democracy values get spread around the world financially speaking, usually under the name of human rights.

The subtext to all of the changes mega corps are making is that they are slaves to their investment pipelines and now that profits are not showing growth, they're turning towards even more unreasonable tactics of squeezing money out of exactly what makes them an ecosystem... They're milking their user base, they're milking developers, they're milking everyone to stay on top.

Only companies that start to really evaluate how they can free themselves from the pipeline of dependency will survive. It means going back to browser-based apps and services, not in creating apps that need to be deployed through gatekeeping app stores.
Iosevka also has an "extended" variant you can use, and you can create a custom build that has the width you want.
How much money do you think a Sundar or Satya-type person would be willing to accept? Certainly not as little as the current Mozilla CEO is being paid!
> Moving to 4k screens (200+ dpi) is the biggest upgrade you can do for text readability, and I suggest anyone who hasn't tried to do so and see for themselves.

I've got a M1 laptop and it is indeed very nice but... I love my ultra-wide 38" doing 3840x1600 pixels doing only 120 ppi (still better than, say, 90 or 100), way more than my M1 laptop's screen: I simply don't like the physical aspect ratio of the 200 dpi monitors up for sale... They're way too "squary" for my taste.

I'm really a happy camper with my non-retina ultra-wide even though I tried (and use nearly daily) a retina display.

I think there are two problems with current retina offerings: not enough resolution / physical aspect choice and not good enough refresh rates.

I'm sure they'll get there, eventually. Meanwhile I'll keep working on my 120 ppi monitor.
Portland Police Department is just one particularly egregious example. Numerous leaked text messages between officers and the Proud Boys. Letting them know to take cover before tear gas is deployed and that they'll be told when it's "all clear" to come back out, letting them know that though some of their leaders have active warrants for arrest, that they are clear to come to the protest because there's no "other agencies" involved in enforcement, so there's no risk.

No. Instead you should always treat mothers, especially new moms, with extra respect and care. They have a lot to deal with.
The issue is not what they can provide, just like the issue is not what Apple brings to the table. The problem is that both are too big and overwhelming dominance poses risks of anti-trust/deplatforming depending on which side you believe in.
I can't imagine not programming... what, am I going to do things manually like a cave man?
Also EntitySpaces. Not sure what they were thinking. Anything that used EntitySpaces needed a complete re-write as it spawned a living hell of class definitions and mappings that locked you into a particular style of programming that was hideous.
Odd, just closing the tab is enough to get rid of the "menace". I tried this in Firefox on Linux (my "daily" browser), Chromium on Linux, Firefox on Android and Chromium on Android. Those browsers were around in 2019, they supported tabs. I know the Japanese police suffers from a lack of crime - a luxury problem if there is any - but this... is taking that suffering to an unfortunate conclusion.

Alternatively, IE6 is still big in Japan and this turns out to be quite effective in bringing it down.

I would ask Google for more money. They will pay, because they don't want to be the only game in town.
I threw out Spotify a few years ago, and used the fact that you can easily find RSS feeds for most podcasts to build a simple replacement. Fun and easy project.

UI is in swedish, but this is how I listen to podcasts these days (it's completely non interactive and only lists my "subscriptions" with a basic audio tag) https://www.marginalia.nu/podcast/new.html
These are schools

I'm not speaking in regards to any specific schools, but rather to the general principle. In my experience, many students (myself included) had plenty of obstacles to attending "office hours" - jobs, other classes, volunteer activities, etc. I won't dispute that there are some circumstances where some students can (and do) take advantage of this, but it doesn't seem to me that - broadly speaking - "office hours" are particularly effective strategy for most people.

If that is the case then how likely is it that it would have been helpful if the instructor had provided a written solution with the problem in the first place?

Good question. I suppose it depends in part on whether the instructor themselves made up the problem & solution, or it it came from a 3rd party. In either case, at least if you have a written solution you tighten up the cycle time to finding out that your understanding is flawed, which opens up more opportunity to pursue alternate explanations - maybe an online forum, a private tutor, or just consulting a different book, etc.
Firefox has a bunch of issues these days, but you cannot overlook Google's use of dominance in search, online docs, mail, and video to push people onto Chrome.

When you're hit with "you should use chrome" on all your most common sites, and the sites you use favor Chrome, it's hard for any browser to compete.

I know people like to bash Mobile Safari, some of which is reasonable, it's really important to realize it's pretty much the only reason sites aren't chrome only at this point.
There is also a patent with a person standing up in front of a television.
This is an interesting argument. But this is effectively stating that Google has to be a good steward. If that is the case, then there really isn't much of a problem afaict (i.e. majority is happy).

If Google is treating devs and users well, there is no reason to switch. It's when they falter on one, migrations can and will occur (given past history as experience).
You're correct about bad managers, but not about the idea that you shouldn't manage people. You summed it up:

> People are not robots

Exactly, people are motivated in different ways, have different backgrounds, aptitudes and weaknesses, the list goes on. A good manager takes these aspects into account to help people and teams do their best work. There is no generic template.
>> Reading this thread demonstrate to me why we (as a society, no matter where you're living) can't live together as we've been doing anymore. The ideas are colliding in too many areas and all of them look like a rat trap. Something hostile in human behavior we are unable to remove is deeply rotten and who knows how we can fix it. This are sad (but non desperate) times to live.

> I don't think much has changed, what has changed is we now have the Internet and technology, enabling the ideas and information to be heard.

It's not just that. The internet and technology also allow an unprecedented levels of disconnection, dehumanization, and "filter bubble"-ing.

IRL interaction put breaks on a lot things that online interaction has now removed.
That's how banks make money too. However, banks must also consider the risk of their debtors defaulting on their loans. They pass those risks on to you in the form of very low interests rates on money deposited, while keeping your deposit "safe". It seems like BlockFi was passing the risk on in the form of an undisclosed risk of losing all your money. That's the part the SEC seems to have a problem with:

> The order also finds that BlockFi made a false and misleading statement for more than two years on its website concerning the level of risk in its loan portfolio and lending activity.

The point is there's no free lunch. If you're making 9+% on your deposit don't be surprised if your account is wiped out when BlockFi's debtors fail to pay.
This looks great, love that it is open source and easy to use/learn. Well done!
IMO, this is one of the rare programming fonts that actually looks great to me. I use Operator which is also a paid font. I used Source Code Pro for a short while and never really like any of the other free offerings.
Every large protest fits the definition of terrorism, especially I suspect from the perspective of the politicians that the protest is trying to pressure. This is why people have been arguing that the definition is misguided and far to broad pretty much since the inception of that definition.

You were working too much and you made everybody else look bad. Also, they didn't have budget for a raise so they gave you a poor review. I worked at a company like that. You see, if they give you a raise then the budget must grow. This is the job of the manager. But as he isn't doing his job, budget is not growing. So bad reviews all around. This is when top manager think they are so smart and come up with these rules, and then middle managers bend the rules.
I wouldn't be so quick to think this isn't also illegal in the USA. For instance, it is illegal in Illinois to:

Sec. 17-50. Computer fraud.

(a) A person commits computer fraud when he or she knowingly:

(1) Accesses or causes to be accessed a computer or any part thereof, or a program or data, with the intent of devising or executing any scheme or artifice to defraud, or as part of a deception;

It could be argued that linking someone to the pop-up, making them think the site they were going to was normal, and then getting hit with an uncloseable pop-up was "a deception".
Luckily virtually no country in the world agrees with you.
But now you've just invented new glyphs...

Clearly not every letter in the canonical English script can be rectilinearized onto the 7 segment display even if the alphabet can be encoded in 7 bits. That is a significant difference between being able to encode it and being able to represent the existing script.
Discriminating between EU countries might get them dragged before the courts even faster.
> it’s just that you think getting rid of FB et all will remove the need for content moderation,

Nooooo. I mean, yes, content moderation in the modern sense of "trying to mitigate the insanity that is randos posting a firehose of crap that's by-default instantly published to the world and which our stupid algorithms may well choose to shove in lots of people's faces" but no in the sense of selecting what one chooses to publish from among some submissions, which pre-dates the Internet sense of "content moderation" and doesn't seem to be a problem unless you have a publish-by-default-without-review policy that lets some amount of the crap get through, and barely vet your submitters at all.

> None of that is reasonable or desirable by most humans.

OK. So we choose—choose—to have a job category that will cause significant, lasting harm to some percentage of the workers doing it.

But let's stop also insulting them by claiming we're doing it because we "have to".
I love this idea! I can't tell you how many friendships I've lost in the past (or ones that could've taken off but prematurely died) from getting stuck in the "I think they don't want to talk to me"/"They think I don't want to talk to them" cycle. Then you end up with neither person initiating contact, and the whole thing just kind of ends. Many if not most people these days don't want to initiate, including me, so if you wait on them to reach out to you, they simply never will, even if they want to talk to you, or would enjoy a conversation.

I've been making steps toward being the person who initiates all contact, and so far it seems to work better than my previous strategies of "never initiating contact", and "initiating 50% of contacts and assuming they're not interested if they don't initiate". The only problem is I'm really not a natural at reaching out, so if left to my own devices I wouldn't do it often enough to maintain the relationship. I like OP's idea of externalizing it with a tool, that makes it a lot easier to maintain the kind of consistency needed to grow a relationship.

To all those saying this is forced or inhuman or robotic or whatever... Listen it would be great to have some kind of easy natural friendship where both people would do half the work, think of each other regularly and reach out in an easy non forced manner, but in my life experience that kind of relationship seems to be very hard to find, if not impossible.

In the real world it seems to me like the choices are be lonely and alone, or to do all the work (especially in initiating). In the past I chose to be lonely and alone, maybe holding out for that kind of unicorn, ideal friendship that people in this thread are talking about. I don't think it was a good choice. I switched, I'm doing the other approach and now I have people I can talk to. I do feel kind of resentful for having to put in way more effort initiating than the other person in these relationships, but it beats being alone and lonely, so I'd still say it's a net positive overall.
> None of this is true.

Wow, way to fill in use cases I didn't think of.

> Maybe I'm at the pub with my partner and we decide to get dinner somewhere. I'll use reviews to find something.

You go out to a bar before dinner? I suppose some people do. I've always thought of dinner as starting an evening out, or at the very least being part of a plan (eg, Show X followed by dinner at Y)
Ignoring that many folks in this place are not only burdens, but severely incapable of handling themselves in a way normally required for adults doesn't help the situation either.

It's a sliding scale, and one that people can show up on at different points on every single day. Ignoring that a specific individual can and or is spending all or most of it in a place that would have them dead in a week without external help, or injuring innocent bystanders, just makes the problem worse.

With medication and lack of compliance, some very bad cases could get from perfectly functional to that state in a day or less.
Now I had to look that up. Htop was developed by Hisham Muhammad, and htop stands for "Hisham's top". It's a nod to pinfo, an info replacement by Przemek Borys named on the same principle. [1]

I’m somewhat hopeful. For me getting out of the media bubble was actually super easy once you just do it and now I feel like I have a more accurate view of the world and a lot less stress. If people stop overdosing on CNN and Fox and Facebook then after the withdrawals I think everyone will feel just better and clearer. Now how do we make everyone stop doing that? No idea.

Wikipedia current events is my “news” source now and I couldn’t be happier
I'm hitting 10 years now and 10 years feels like nothing. I can't believe I used to look up to people with 10 years of experience because now I can see how many and how large are the gaps in knowledge I still have!

But I think the work stuff gets easier and it also becomes easier to explore random fun topics like retro devices and internals of compilers, databases, browsers, etc. Not that you couldn't do those explorations with fewer years of experience (you can) but it just takes me a bit less time to dig into things now.

I guess I've gotten much better at slogging through documentation and reading existing code (that I didn't write).
That's why it's also not a great idea to put a photo on your resume.
> the same way no one is using desktop Linux or LibreOffice or DuckDuckGo.

Have you seen how bad Google results are these days?
> One way to strike a balance is to work with human resources on defining work-life goals and objectives.

Pardon me if this sounds nitpicky but let's stop calling it human resources. Those two words establish the wrong precedent and perpetuate the wrong message.

If you treat people like resources you're going in the wrong direction.
And that is why S-1 filings exist - to provide the answer to such questions. Somewhere, for this to work, there must be people paying more than 9.25% to borrow money. Who are they? What collateral are they putting up? Whatever the borrowers are doing must be high risk, or they wouldn't be paying interest that high.

In effect, this is a junk bond they're selling - high interest, with a high chance of losing the principal. Those are semi-legitimate financial products (but see Michael Milliken). However, if you invest in junk bonds, you have to evaluate them, and you don't own just one. You own a broad portfolio of them, collateralized by different things, expecting some of them to fail and some to succeed. This is why there are junk bond funds. Some of which fail, because too many of the risks were correlated.

If someone in the DeFi sector is selling this, the funds are probably being used to finance some other crypto-related scheme. Not building a factory or an apartment building, which you could probably finance at 3-4% right now. So you're probably buying into a speculation that some crypto product goes up. You're buying with a capped upside, an uncapped downside, and no visibility into the risks.
There is also the Qui Tam route for whistleblowers in NY (or relating to allegations of wrongdoing that occur in NY or companies based in NY).

Weeks on end of horns outside your window are absolutely torture. They are demonstrably linked to mental health issues. It's not a verbal escalation. We are talking about people who have literally attached train and ship horns to vehicles and are using them incessantly.

That passes beyond "nuisance". Extreme situations can utilize extreme language.
Essential - adjective - absolutely necessary; extremely important.

Game consoles are not. Smartphones are. Obviously.
I have worked in the smartwatch industry and have a background in mobile operating system development. I also run a security consulting business with over a dozen active client relationships at any time. Between the two I developed the feeling I -must- be connected and reachable at all times even when sleeping or on personal time.

Recently I reached almost every conclusion this author did independently.

Dropped my cell carrier a year ago downgrading my phone to a wifi tablet and ditched even that device as an experiment a few months ago and have no desire to go back now. I am reachable when I choose to be at my desk. No notifications follow me to the bathroom or to the bar table with my friends. I feel like my life is mine again.

I am finally -present- in everything I am doing and am finally after over a decade am capable of being alone in my own head without frantically searching for a phone to tell me what to think about.

I leave home with no electronics other than sometimes a digital music player and just take note of the world around me. No electronics are allowed in the bedroom at all.

+1000 would recommend to anyone. Smartphones and the need to be -constantly- distracted is an unhealthy addiction for most that have a desktop or laptop computer they can access intentionally when needed.

Using apply, though interesting, looks like a hack TBH. From a practical standpoint, the (explicit) use of index_sequence seems better (and simpler).
ASCIIFlow is less accessible than Mermaid though for folks that use screen readers. Mermaid can be read as is from the source, or be transformed into a readable format for screen readers, but ASCIIFlow has no such mechanism to translate it into a format that can be accessible.
Not everywhere. Warmer climates lead to changes in wind patterns, which leave some places drier than they were.
I disagree.

I know someone who is changing fields and has learned to code over the last year. Mostly backend code, Kotlin and Python.

This person has no credentials, and studied something else in college - however the fact that code test are used allowed them get their foot in the door of a large company very recently because they didn't care that she didn't have much in the way of past projects.

She has a strong aptitude for coding, and they decided that was a better way to select for them

Without code test she probably would not have had a real shot of landing the job

80? I had heard in some cases it'd been measured at up to 140dB.
In Canadian terms it's politically one of the most foolish things you could do. There's little constituency for 2nd Amendment style gun rights in Canada, so they'd be sawing off the limb they're sitting on. And that's apart from whether they broke the law, which would also be politically foolish since it undermines their argument of civil disobedience. I don't know anything about the facts of this case though.
