It's wording that I use on Twitter and similar to convey a sort of nuanced problem: I do a bunch of things professionally. Some subset of those things are work that is traditionally done in industry, and which industry has very simple scripts for, and which would be adequately explained by "$TITLE at Stripe" if I had anything like a legible title.

But I'm also in that vague sphere that is often called "public intellectuals" despite not being in a line of work that traditionally contributes public intellectuals. I don't work for a newspaper, though my writing has run in newspapers. I am not a tenured professor, but some tenured professors seem to think I occasionally understand and explain things worth understanding and explaining.

This is further complicated by "That public intellectual thing is something that is expected of me but in the way that a university expects a professor to conduct scholarship without endorsing all conclusions of it, not like a company expects publicly visible employees to stay relentlessly on-message." And by the fact that everyone expects me to, at some point in the future, continue doing much the same thing while not sitting in the same seat I'm currently sitting in.

That is what I mean by "works for the Internet." Which feels sort of self indulgent, and a bit long, to need to shove into every time I stamp out my disclaimer, so it is here rather than every time I need to stamp out my disclaimer.
Haha quite possibly that!
There's an opinion that Russian conservative people like Strelkov[0] are more radical than Putin. And they feel that Putin should done these things at 2014, for 2022 it's already a little bit late. If Putin cannot achieve his goal, these neo-imperialist people will overthrow him and continue this war.

There's no evidence to show that families' childcare providers (aka grandparents) have died in the thousands, leaving people without childcare. The parent commenter is assuming because there was a disease that disproportionately affected elderly folks, that it must be correlated with that.
Web components actually aren't that good. Most seasoned and experienced developers I know hugely prefer either ASP.NET webforms or one of the many Java MVC implementations. We all know and use React daily, but I've literally seen the same application built faster with better maintainability and scalability once it was moved away from a SPA.
These are hardly the only reports. You can train your body too hard and injure yourself. It stands to reason that you can do something similar to your brain.
My impression is also that the American web design trends from the late 00s~early 10s are a lot more prevalent in Japan these days than they were in 2013, look at note.com for example: https://note.com/
are you talking about the British empire?
I dread using GitHub's fake client-side navigation. For me it's always faster to just load a link "for real" rather than wait for their terrible JS to pretend to load the link for me.
> Just look at the commit logs.

Yeah no. I've had to do a lot of investigative, hacky "PoC" work with lots of debugging, design, coordinating work (whiteboarding, email threads, etc) for the last ~5 or so months. I'm a software engineer but if you looked at my actual commit logs for the last quarter or so, it'd seem like I haven't done much. Some people work differently and have different workload, I've been shifting to some more active work now (and I'm glad because I enjoy coding way more) and my commit log "landscape" will probably be very different in the next few months, but if you just looked at the last few months it'd look like I didn't work a single day.

I really hope people don't base productivity just on commit logs, seriously.

thank you sir for this.
None of these factors, other than inflation, point to instability. With respect to inflation, that’s being directly addressed.

Compared to every other currency, historical and extant, the major trading currencies of the day are highly stable across multiples of even the longest transaction time frames. They aren’t good long-term stores of value because that’s not what they’re built for.
I'm not sure I understand why you've brought up posse comitatus. The US military can't enforce domestic laws, but that doesn't even remotely pertain to whether the US military performs operations on domestic citizens (which it doesn't for entirely separate reasons).
Can China’s Comac C919 Compete with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320?
All the things you mention are 100% true.

That said, how you react, internalize your interactions, and feel at the end of the day is completely within your control. Not to say you shouldn’t abandon everything and go for the quiet life, but that should come from a place of genuine desire, not because you are tired of a shitty work environment. I struggle with this too and sometimes need to reflect if I’m making a particular decision because of external pressures or because I really want to pursue it.
Out there? I get almost 6 million hits for "meditation demonic" and it really bugs me to having something so helpful to me slurred like this. I suggest you make it clear where you stand on the issue if you're going to write about and sneakily slur it without letting us know you dogmatic positions.

How does going back to the office help with structure?

Here's an example from my life:

I'm having a terrible time getting myself to the gym. Two options come to mind to fix this:

1) Use discipline (very hard) and shift my mindset so that going to the gym is not optional (also hard).

2) Apply a structure to my day to where I leave the house by default (not that hard) and have to go to the gym before going home (not nearly as hard as going out of my house specifically to work out).
But they don't do gambling. Why is that lie still going on years after it was first invented?
> Foreign gov't, certainly. Ours? As honestly as I can claim, I never knew of any Psyop folks conducting operations on those sites, nor did I ever hear of any directives for Psyop folks to use those platforms as viable mediums.

Wouldn't operating there also target a lot of non-US citizens? How would you actually go for non-US people that frequent English forums? Also, that the US completely leaves the field to the other guys seems unlikely to me, both from a tactical perspective and from the opinions I see.

Not that I have any credentials, it just sounds very strange to me.
Companies have been operating remotely and/or distributed for much longer than 2 years. Pretty much every company I worked for from 2010 onwards had at least half the team separate from the "sales office" that owned the relationship. Most often this was having dev teams in South America or Eastern Europe, but pretty frequently we just had multiple offices in the US working together. And frequently with clients that were in a third location. Slack, Zoom, JIRA. That's all you need.
For me it's just hard to find an objective, "meditation is objectively good for you and here is what 'meditation' means."

Every study I find is either terrible (p hacking) or not directly studying what I'd like.
KIR-D legitimately sucks. Giant rooms, fifty million desks in each, not a wall in sight.
Indeed - I pair program for much of the day with different people on the same team, and there is only (recently) one city which has two people in it. The notion that pairing need take place physically in the same room is just not correct.
Thanks for the book reference. I will check it out.
Sometimes headlines take me a few seconds to parse because of excessive "negatives"; this one has three: surveillance bad -> oversight good -> gut bad -> withdraw good. That's probably the most I've seen in a headline of this length. Just a totally off topic observation.
Sigh

I was in Australia when I read a piece from him on Desert Shield/Storm in an Aussie newspaper. I saved it. A few years later he was to sign books in DC, and I brought along the paper. He signed my book, and also signed the paper. I'd told him I'd seen it while in Australia. He said, "I wonder if I got paid for that?"

RIP, PJ. Thanks for the laughs and the insights.
I quit on day 5. My life started playing itself in my head on repeat and I started to focus on all the pain. I would imagine the universe dying and coming back to life where everything, especially some nasty events would reoccur ad infinitum. I was convinced that the people who were unlucky in this life were actually suffering for eternity and practically lost it.

I had a panic attack, and then another and finally talked to the teacher who agreed that I should leave.
You can still do that with SSR solution, the mocking just moves one step down, instead of mocking a JSON request you mock a class or an interface.
In my opinion, we both have free will and our thoughts don't always come from us. Some things we see with our eyes are from our own movements, others are from externalities. I believe thoughts are the same but neither contradicts free will.
Malicious attacks aren't always the vector of concern.

There are many software packages that confine themselves to what is legal. They often want to ingest and upload everything they can about the user. But if they are locked down to a narrow set of user data, they won't risk the liability of attacking the protections themselves.
Cities don’t have a particular mission statement, so that kind of comparison isn’t apt.

My point was that in a city people are semi anonymous and others don’t keep tabs in you and know whether you’re a slacker, a thief, the town millionaire, the job producer or not. In a small town folks know to some degree who is vandalizing, doing the graffiti, stealing the cattle, helping farmer John with the fences, bringing food to the widow, etc.
I’m not seeing this as a bad thing… is this supposed to be bad?

I mean being blackmailed to do the socially correct thing doesn’t feel so much wrong as extrajudicial.
Yeah, I think history is definitely a form of state, but didn't seem like the state the parent to my comment had in mind.

And, I do think they're distinct problems (but related) when you're just adding a bit of interactivity to a page or two, as this sub-thread is discussing.

In a full SPA, it's largely coupled and more inline with what you say: let the route drive the action. But, sometimes you have an MPA with a dynamic stateful feature embedded at a particular URL, but which may or may not need a sub-route of its own. In those cases, weird stuff can happen if the history is not managed correctly.
They do, but it's usually the anti-SPA people who mess it up, by refusing to work with the grain of their tools. It's not quite the same thing as "strategic incompetence" but it feels related.
I'd say late in winter could be really good for that strategy, depending on the weather. Doesn't explain this fully tho, more the opposite, so probably other factors played a larger role.

I read a few days ago that Germany's gas reserves were at 31% and they were basically just being helped by the good weather. A colder winter would've made it a much bigger problem. And Germany had very recently decided to basically go cold turkey on nuclear, which means using more gas plants. Now they're thinking of extending the life span of nuclear a bit. Not that a gas furnace can heat with electricity though, so not sure how much that will help.
Most of the "killer features" are in EdgeQL, SDL, and the tooling surrounding EdgeDB. But the goal of this post is just to describe the graph-relational model of data persistence at a high-level—how graph-relational databases "think" about data. We intentionally defined the term in a way such that it isn't strongly coupled to EdgeDB — EdgeDB is just one possible implementation of the model. And there's a lot more to EdgeDB beyond that fact that it's graph-relational.
Residual neural networks[] employ skip-layer connections. It's thought that this helps prevent gradient decay in deep networks. It's a very important advancement.

Nom is a fantastic library. I've never implemented a parser before and I found it relatively easy to pick up. Some of that is due to parser combinators in general, no doubt, but it was very satisfying to be able to compose a parser with nom.

3 hours prob -- 30 min scrum, 30 mins support, 2 hours coding/analyzing jiras/thinking about what should/needs to be done.

The key problem is people pushing themselves too hard. Or working for companies that exploit them. It is OK for a while but psychologically damaging long term.
That's an evidenced conspiracy. Check out Space Communes "Will the revolution be funded?" It is a research piece about think thanks that do exactly this, although it focuses on the "leftist" liberal ones there are also the right wing, conservative or libertarian ones to play as the counter strike to these. Creating a cycle of culture war that serves to distract the population from more pressing perspectives.
After Diocletian abdicated he grew cabbages. Maybe high pressure jobs just make people want to be outside and watch something grow. Instead of you know, spending a bunch of energy for little meaningful return in the end. Farming is the acceptance of nihilism without hedonism i guess.

Maybe it's by design, but my biggest sticking point with WASM is the inability to modify the code at runtime, at least to my knowledge. This makes it a bad target for dynamic languages where the source -> executable mapping isn't wholly known ahead of time, especially Lisps but also any looking to JIT compile things.

Speaking of Lisp and WASM, IchigoLisp [0] is a remarkably faithful implementation of LISP 1.5 in WAT. Extraordinarily impressive, and inspires even more awe for the original system from the 60s.

It would be very hard to do this without taking VC money (server costs alone must be massive) - and to take VC money means you're most likely going to be hard on the metrics, which is the opposite of what Bandcamp did and what has made Bandcamp unique up to now.
> did Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, etc all make a terrible engineering mistake? Or did this guy with a blog miss something?

Today I opened the Music app on my Mac to cancel a subscription. It asked me to use Touch ID to authenticate (fair enough) but then immediately fell back to asking me for my Apple ID & password.

This is on a Mac that's been logged into iCloud for ages, has a working iCloud connection (exchanged some files through it today) and I installed an app from the App Store today (without being asked to reauth, suggesting my session is indeed still valid).

The fact that MacOS frequently asks for Apple ID credentials seems to be a common and widespread problem that I myself experienced for years (sadly this occurrence wasn't a surprise for me - if anything the initial Touch ID prompt was more surprising as I couldn't believe it would actually not ask me for my password this time), so I wouldn't use big names as a sign of quality - if anything it's the opposite, big names means lots of employees who might have their own reasons for doing certain things or preserving a status-quo that might benefit them & their careers at the expense of the user experience.
I grew up around a lot who did. The best way I can describe it is the spiritual practices around meditation where considered to be incompatible with Christianity.
Just sign a paper that Poland rocket is now Ukrainian rocket and then shoot it over border. Ukraine will not protest if a Ukrainian rocket will hit an enemy target on territory of Ukraine. Nobody can easily check who operates a rocket or drone.
That's a story I'm familiar with, but I am not actually aware of any (major, commonly used) tools that were created out of boredom. I only see instances of people using existing tools when they are not necessary out of boredom.
As soon as I hear something like “planet destroying” within the crypto context, I stop reading because that tells me the person knows nothing about the current state of crypto.
It is a sad situation. I think this article says the Turks dropped the immigrants at the Greek shore, and the Greeks tried to send them back. The Greeks either have to accept/absorb all of the immigrants strategically sent from the Turks, or face consquences when they try to send them back and tragedy strikes. It's a strong strategy by the Turks. Of course the immigrants are sadly just pawns in this situation.
No, no use for consumers tbh

I have the same impression. With the start of the war, the Russian side completely vanished from basically all forums I saw, except if parodied to a maximum for laughs. Part of that is surely that few people that saw Russias side beforehand don't support the war and don't want to defend it, but basically all I see now is complete and utterly black and white. And I support supporting the Ukraine, but I'm afraid this might be the final breakthrough for maximum polarization.
I think actually it does: the original meaning of "attorney" was someone who was appointed to act for you or on your behalf. An attorney at law does that when you need legal representation. Someone with a power of attorney does that in other areas, such as finances.
I’m not mixing anything. I’m challenging the status quo. I genuinely believe and am currently attempting to build a highly successful software business entirely remotely and async.

Success to me isn’t about being a billion dollar company, but to answer the question, GitLab comes to mind.
This is irrelevant in practice because the SPA's code is also loaded from the server - if the server is malicious it'll just serve you backdoored JS, unless you load from a separate domain and have the main server allow cross-origin requests.

If you want to defend against a malicious server you need to make sure your client doesn't load & execute code from said server - it needs to be distributed as a stand-alone application instead of in a browser.
If there is a disease that has caused a large number of older people to die, and many of those older people are grandparents, and many grandparents help out with childcare, and having to work with less help than previously re childcare is likely to cause a problem for a lot of people, I'm not seeing the problem with assuming a correlation given that argument and its conclusion. Which premises are you disputing?
> Also from the immigrants I know most would HAPPILY stand up for freedom and Democracy.

Are you actually suggesting most first/second generation immigrants would tolerate the US regime drafting their children, and not just immigrate home?
LOL... reminds me of the time I went down to Overture's office in Pasadena. We were supposed to meet some senior engineering guy there. We got out of the elevator, and there was a sea of long tables in that giant floor, wall to wall, with people sitting elbow to elbow.

"Wow, this looks like a call center; I'm glad I'm not in customer support", I thought to myself.

And then one of guys sitting at those big tables stood up, extending his hand: "Hi, I'm ...., glad to meet you guys". It was that senior engineer. Yikes!
What about just... not settling. Like instead, just keep track of which sides owes the other how many dollars, and ensure it doesn't get crazy imbalanced. Or very similarly transact in dollar denominated Chinese/Russian issued bonds.

This type of experience was exactly what I experienced my first few LSD trips. It's a type of disassociation or ego death, where you really feel deeply the experience of observing yourself, your thoughts, from a seemingly separate viewpoint.

It made me question reality in a way I hadn't before.

Is all of this pre-determined? Is it arbitrary? Is it random? Is there an underlying meaning here we should recognize?

I came to believe that love, connection, existing itself, were all somehow significant. Hard to say if this is real, or just part of the pattern :)
The options are not "must walk to this place at this specific time" and "never do any exercise or take a break during your day". This type of dichotomy is drawn in so much of the back-to-office discussion. Mandating something that happens to involve, in part, something that could be beneficial, is not in itself an argument for the mandate when you can take that part by itself anyway. Like, even if it's a zoom meeting you could, at that same exact time right before the meeting, take a walk for five minutes. The mandate isn't helping you out in that respect.
The original story was that Fortnite had lootboxes for a few years (in that time where most of the industry was trying it out after Valve and Blizzard saw success). Fortnite is where the "lootboxes are gambling" debates really hit the high gear.

sometime in 2019 that random aspect was removed, however. To my knowledge, there is still a rotating shop of skins to purchase with premium currency. But you know what you are getting now. It's not too much different from how free MOBA's monetize their games with a bunch of cosmetic skins.
It might help if the headline mentioned which city. There are many.
