A big part of why I’m a remote is because I like to move around. I mean that in every way possible.

I start my day on a chair with a lap desk, move to my kitchen table, patio, back to office desk, etc.

Then I get tired of being home and walk downtown to drink a beer or have a coffee in a nice venue.

When I travel I can work in the airport during layovers. I get to go visit friends in other provinces for a few weeks without having to take time off from work.

If you don’t want to do those things that’s cool, but I do so I’ll never bother buying a desktop again
I’ve that cpu and 64gb of ecc. It’s so stable. Can even play games when I’m no doing compiling! Or at the same time!

I do these things, and I believe that they make me a better idea-conjurer:

1. Write ideas down. No matter how "obvious", trivial, or small it might be. Just write it down. Get into a habit of documenting your ideas that are not even related to your work. Your brain is for having ideas and not for storing them. You will not only have more ideas, but your ideas will also evolve while you write them down. New stuff will just " click".

2. Communicate your ideas to others. Talk with them. Take their inputs. Hear their criticism. I have found that often after talking with people, I have a much better-shaped, more robust idea than I had before doing the talking.

I am not a PM or designer. I do these both in my job and in my research and personal life. I can recommend them to you.
thanks for sharing - found this super interesting
M1 ultra is two chips with an interconnect between them I thought? Or is the interconnect already on die with them?

(Edit: sounds like it is two: "Apple said fusing the two M1 processors together required a custom-built package that uses a silicon interposer to make the connection between chips. " https://www.protocol.com/bulletins/apple-m1-ultra-chip )

That's kind of an odd statement for an astronomer.
> There should be a penalty for this.

There are, the FCA and Financial Ombudsman hold banks to an extremely high standard and hand out fines and compensation on a regular basis. Denying access to funds is a serious issue which banks and regulators take very seriously. However there’s an acknowledgment that AML systems have false positives.

> I would rather criminals get away with a laundering transaction

Easy to say when it’s not your money that’s been stolen. Most money being laundered through retail banks like Monzo isn’t drug money, or high stakes bank heists. It’s the millions stolen every year from normal people subjected to high pressure, complex, coercive and extremely effective social engineering scams.

We’re talking about peoples house deposits (because their solicitors emails got hacked), their life savings, their retirement funds.

Don’t assume you’re immune to these scams, or that you’re paying a cost for it. The scams trick even the most savvy individuals. Costs are borne by everyone with a bank account because victims are reimbursed, and I can assure you, no bank is sacrificing their profit margin to do that.
Have you had any knockoffs of Anker when purchasing via Amazon?

I ask as I do a bunch of my shopping on Amazon (trying to cut down because of the fakes/inventory commingling) and recently bought some Anker stuff - as far as I can tell it looks legit.

I usually make sure the product is sold by Amazon, or some trusted brand (here, sold by AnkerDirect and shipped by Amazon). Have you had bad experiences and hence recommend always ordering direct from manufacturer?
right, it depends, if the thing that agreed to has some other benefits.

an alternative example would be after that draining work week cancelling an activity because i know i'll be tired the next morning and i really need more rest to be fit the next day.
I am not demonstrating anything. I am saying the argument you make is the distinguishing feature of neo-conservative foreign policy- viz the importance of value judgements about the sort of world we want to live in. I would add also that neo-cons generally do not self identify. They see themselves as defending liberalism and protecting people from tyranny. You may or may not fall into that camp, but you are carrying their water for them here in the rhetorical sphere, whether you understand that or not.

They asked him whether anything is wrong, they don't get to complain about the answer.

On the other hand, for a senior person to go around town and spread rumours about a (presumably) junior team member is exactly the kind of behaviour I want nothing to do with.

This comment is miopic, seems the closer you are to the top the less maturity and aelf-control you are expected to have?
UCMJ is pretty clear re: the free speech angle and all points in that direction. UCMJ != the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Always blows my mind when people complain about this aspect.
Whatever you want to call it: discriminating against someone because of their race is wrong.

Think about how that person feels knowing they are the most qualified to do a job but don't get that job because they were "born the wrong way."

Imagine what that does to the democratic discriminated against: puts them back for generations.

Great advice.

If you really feel like "sticking it to them", just write anonymous reviews on Glassdoor. Really go into details. Let your feedback be visible to everyone; if you think its useful, someone currently working at the company will bring it up, I guarantee you.
I agree, it is oddly unique to physics.
My wife is a realtor and aside from the well-known market craziness going on right now the other problem she's been seeing for the past 10-15 years is today's idea of a "starter home" or "first home" is the kind of home people would have purchased previously when they reached their peak earning potential. The untold story is there's a lot of affordable housing but there isn't a much of a market for it. Everyone wants their "dream home" from day one. Those kinds of homes have always been expensive and that hasn't changed.

What people have yet to realize is you can't have it all. You wan to live in a cool, hip city with loads of high-paying jobs? You're going to pay for it. You want to live in the cool spot of that uber cool city? Now you're really going to pay for it! Want to move to a mid-size city in the U.S. Midwest? You have lots of affordable options. You want to buy a starter home in one of those mid-size cities in the Midwest? I guarantee you'll pay less than half for your mortgage than what you're currently paying in rent and you'll have a bigger house and a yard. But you can't have it all - you simply can't afford it.

I have many years of work experience and have worked in 10 companies so far. I always ended up sugar coating my feedback in nearly all of the exit interviews. However, this time around in 2021 during my 10th workplace I decided to be honest.

Positive feedback: I praised all the great coworkers, great managers that I worked with, good senior people that I worked with, the companies policies, etc.

Negative feedback: I had left the company because of my last manager who was both toxic and incompetent (my previous managers were great leaders). He had no idea about the work that we did, nor did he have any rudimentary leadership skills. I ranted out everything (it was very soothing) even though I knew he was friends with the HR team. But for once in my life I decided to be super honest and shared what I felt and shared examples, data, emails, etc. It felt very good and I left the company without any emotional baggage.

Latest update: I just came to know that another colleague who had left around the same time had also given a similar feedback about this toxic manager's behavior. The HR decided to share their objective observations but nothing happened as this manager is friends with the senior management too. However, the person who replaced me was an expat from Europe (I and the IT company is in southern Asia and expats are treated like gods here). The expat had the same experience within one month of her joining and she too left the company within 3 months because of this toxic manager. She was not as kind during her exit interview and she also shared a formal complaint. Now the cat was out of the bag and the HR was forced to intervene and more people started sharing their issues about this toxic manager. Long story short: This toxic manager is now in big trouble (I can't share more info here).

So my personal opinion now is: Always share honest feedback about jerks in your exit interviews. You might be doing a good deed in the long run for many people. Sharing an honest feedback during an exit interview is like 'not littering'. If everyone starts doing it, then the city will always be clean for you and for me and for our families :)
If this was around when I first tried Datomic then I'd probably have been a customer for a long time now.

Great stuff.
Fair, but consider its use in rehabilitation.

Ive recently had ACL surgery, and you essentially have to learn how to walk all over again, not to mention the pain and how little weight you can put onto it at first. In order to properly walk and run again, I used a treadmill with essentially a large bag on it which inflated, lifting you slightly. This put less weight on your legs, allowing you to walk and run with proper form and speed up recovery, it was crucial for me learning to run again. (It was an AlterG device btw)

Was I “cheating”? Kinda, but that’s not the point. This device can help patients with low mobility. The article lays out both how it works and its potential use case.
> I do have a problem in that this drive-by dismissal of mine is getting attention when what I was excited about in another comment goes ignored. =\

Isn't that explained by the GP's point? Some things are much easier to engage with than others, regardless of whether it's for or against. Your statement above is two sentences, and while it undoubtedly accurately describes some occurrences, it also likely doesn't describe others. Without statements to clarify how absolutely you intend it to apply, people are free to make their own assumptions and if that assumption casts your statement as absolutist, it's easy to refute.

Communication can be hard, asynchronous communication even more so.
They're maybe not the internet's "babysitters", but they are the "babysitters" of their own network infrastructure and services, and these spammer scum do abuse that infrastructure and waste/steal bandwidth and other resource that don't belong to them. You'd think Google would want to put a stop to that when it's gotten to a point where it's happening "at scale" and wasting large enough amounts of resource that it starts to equate to real-world dollars being lost/wasted. Sure, users bear some responsibility for not being scammed, but that doesn't mean that Google has to tolerate it happening through their services and infrastructure, especially not when their own end user license agreements for those services actively prohibit such usage.

> a cathartic experience

If you need catharsis after leaving a job, call up your old college roommate or your parents to bellyache.

Nothing you say is confidential. There's a good chance the notes will go directly to your old manager and/or manager's manager, with your name on it.

Be bland and non-committal, and if you are really pressed, give the mildest criticism like "I wish the ticketing system was easier to use". Even that has a risk since if the current ticketing system is somebody's pet project and your criticize it, you might get that someone mad at you.
Two more downsides I'd like to add to your list:

- A laptop will never have greater compute power and heat dissipation than a similar tier desktop.

- Current laptop models will often consume more power than can be provided by their included power supplies (one culprit is USB-C's 100 watt limit, the other is simply cost). Thus, their compute endurance is hampered by the battery. I see this when merely running Google Meet.
9 years.. that's the long game.
Is it worth even talking about herd immunity when it’s impossible for the COVID-19 vaccines to provide immunity?

That use of the word immunity was attempted, sure. But had to be changed to “protection” as it doesn’t actually prevent infection nor stop the spread. Hence, no herd immunity.
It is commonly said that on the new M1 macs, that the ram is on the chip, it is not. It is on the same substrate, but its just normal (fast) dram chips soldered on nearby.

> Every few years I will spill a drink on my keyboard

I thought this only happened in movies. I always have drinks around my laptop and desktop, and it hasn't happened to me even once in the last 20 years. In my opinion, the 1/1000 chance of a spill happening in a given year shouldn't guide your purchasing decision.

> Then there's the laptop screen, which is easily damaged when traveling.

How does this happen? Do you drop your laptop often? Do you take it to the beach and does it get full of sand? I always travel with a laptop and cannot picture the screen getting damaged, unless I place the laptop in checked baggage.
I do count the initial call if its screening in nature (usually is, its just automatic if you are an experienced dev). But compared to what you listed, I see 3 coding (including "tech screen"), 1 behavioral, and 1 architectural. Based on about 10 companies I interviewed with last month.
Who teaches Weiqi in the holistic way that Josh Waitzkin teaches chess?
Josh Waitzkin teaches chess based on general principles of sports psychology in, e.g., The Art of Learning, Attacking Chess: Aggressive Strategies, Inside Moves from the U.S. Junior Chess Champion and the chess computer program Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition by Josh Waitzkin.

Is there an author who teaches Weiqi/Baduk/Go using a similar style?

I actually got a 10% raise which management was all to happy to say was the best thing they had ever done for a single person. The problem is 10% is nothing if your base pay to begin with was 50% below market rate.

I follow links onto twitter sometimes, though I dont use it. how does it have a "free speech problem?" what does this even mean in practical terms. I think that talking point is completely made up.
>They are not the internet's babysitters

This kind of attitude is why we're all enduring nonstop spam calls.
I wonder if all the recent work-from-home has changed anything? My reaction to the headline was, "Some of us never left." But then I've worked from home for seventeen years. If I drove to an office every day, I might prefer to own just a laptop too. But working from home with an overpowered desktop is great! And if I want to work from the back porch I use the old Macbook Air, ssh in, and attach to my tmux sessions.
There was no dynastic succession in syria, if anything the baathist regime shows how weirdly resilient it is even when faced with insane pressure. Keep in mind the iraqi baathist party was much more popular in iraq that assad is in syria. Also, no matter how violent a hypothetical baathist succession crisis would be, it would not have come close to what happened due to the invasion.

If anything, the iraqi war was the reason the syrian civil war was so bloody. The al qaida elements in iraq overtook the grass root rebellion in syria, and ISIS would literally have not existed if Saddam was still in power. Same for the sectarian violence that will plague iraq for decades to come.

Saddam absolutely deserved the rope, but that does not mean the US had any right to intervene because of that. Plus, the reason the US invaded had officially nothing to do with regime change. The "saving iraq from it's dictator" narrative only came after the WMD lies became evident.
Considering the steaming pile that Twitter is, I think only good things are on the way for the platform.

> is not trying to rob them of an assistive tool.

The first anecdote in a post is about the author deciding not to build something that could be a useful accessibility tool, specifically because she sees it as a net negative - which might not be how she would think about it if she'd included people with disabilities in her analysis.

Of course, this is not the end of the world; but there are cases where this kind of thinking could be much worse. "We won't put in an elevator - people should be okay with the discomfort of climbing the stairs." In fact, people did that so much that we had to pass the ADA to stop it!

I am reminded of https://imgur.com/a4p4KLa.
So, I tested this..

I am on a flagship HP Omen Gaming Laptop (I arguably got the very first literal laptop shipped from the factory (have provenance, long story)

And this stupid machine ($3K) has a laughable casing (super chints, bends easily, not good) -- it has (3) USB ports, with (1) being SS, the other two std, and (1) USB-C port.

ZERO power out of the USB-C port.

I have purchased multiple USB-C "hubs" -- none have pwer, all require external USB power.

So imagin this: You buy a USB-C monitor, but your USB-C port provides no power, so in order to plug in a USB monitor into your USB-C HUB connected to your laptop via USB-C, you need a secondary cable to go through a regular USB port on your machine to provide power to the USB ports on your USB-C hub, thus consuming BOTH the USB port AND the USB-C port on your machine....

What a fucking design flaw this machine is.

The guts are all hyped around the 165Hz screen and the RTX... but the physicality of this machine sucks.

HP OMEN 15" 5800 RTX 165Hz machine... "gaming laptop"
I think you got it; I think the term is clear. It's not having any additional emotional response beyond what you find in an interaction with an acquaintance you see a few times a year. There's no additional emotion.
Getting into individual criticisms is probably about the last thing I would do in an exit interview. It’s not my problem any longer because it’s an exit interview.

Generally speaking momentary catharsis associated with blowing up bridges isn’t worth it.
Author states "I know that new 'open' laptops are still available, but most of them--the System76's, the Purisms, etc.--are overpriced in my opinion."

These companies are not manufacturing in China. They assemble their machines here in the U.S. and they don't have the advantage of economies of scale like other much larger firms.
That's pretty close to being a mercenary.
I think it's a bit unnecessary. A small set of operations should be enough to make it easy to port to new accelerators, and there's lots of nice to haves in many programs that don't affect compatibility.

If you don't plan on ever doing anything but the core it does seem pretty reasonable though.

I feel that when the words 'shut up and calculate' were uttered, physics flew off into la-la land, and that without a backing of natural philosophy science became an engineering discipline at best and a cargo cult at worst. - It is a non sequitur to go from lack of understanding to saying there is nothing to understand. It would have been more honest to declare that Newton was correct in studying the occult, and that truth is yet to be revealed to our humbled minds.

So, "priests" because they don't know about the spirit of inquiry that gave rise to natural philosophy; this sublime tradition that they have misunderstood.
I'm going to avoid spoilers because I don't know how welcome they would be, but I kinda hated the ending. It felt like a lazy cliche which made me feel more distant from the characters who I had become friends with.
Is Oberlin's position libel? In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court determined malice is required for libel in 1st Amendment cases involving public concern.

Oberlin believed their students and adopted a position inconsistent with the facts (as established by a court), backing the wrong horse isn't malicious as much as a miscalculation. Free speech means you have the right to be wrong.

Gibson's won an award of 30+ million, a punishment disproportionate to their damages, an outsized judgement which purpose is to chill political speech.

Likely on the new engine they used for Thimbleweed Park. If you want to make something similar, there's a number of point and click game engines (and game engine layers, such as for Godot and Unreal) around. Heck, even SCUMM is still (somewhat) usable.
