Having worked remote for more than 10 years I feel most of these rituals as imposed after the pandemic by the managing layers and people obsessed with work culture. I accept any non mandatory activity and might participate sometimes. But boy, I hate that my week is filled with meetings.

At previous full remote positions meetings were the exception and all communication happened either on IRC or hipchat/slack. And that was enough for us to be productive. It wasn't until I started working remotely for companies that define themselves as hybrid (aka we hire contractors too) or that were forced to go remote after the pandemic that my agenda has been being filled with zoom meetings.

I do not define myself as either introvert or extrovert, but I prefer to fill my social needs outside of work and some companies obsession with cult do really take a toll on my energy. It sometimes really feels self-catering to some people that seem to either always be connected or just slack off and sit their asses on meetings for the entire day while what I enjoy is getting shit done. </rant>
Thank you. Didn't try out yet (need vim) but it looks very nicely done, bravo!
Kind of; if it's compiled to WASM instead of JS it could be faster. And some years ago there was asm.js, a sub (or super?) set of JS that removed a lot of the dynamic nature of JS, allowing an interpreter to skip a lot of checks and make more assumptions, and therefore make it run a lot faster. Probably made obsolete due to WASM though.
There are costs to creating and enforcing regulation, and then more costs if it needs to be rolled back (say, if there are unforeseen downsides to it).
Yeah it's pretty straightforward if you know how to use a terminal/CRON/python. CRON schedules how often you want to take the photos through python script (as low as every minute) and then you name it by date-time to assemble it later. Photo command is raspistill.

Just plan on your power source if it's not going to be plugged in.

You can go faster than a minute but requires more work.
You might enjoy Spacemacs. For me, it combines the benefits of both Vim and Emacs.

> everyone on the team writing up weekly summaries.

Waste of time unless you’re an obsessive micromanager. Other team members either don’t read these entirely or just skim them.

Don’t do this shit. It’s a great way to have everyone reserved rather than relaxed with free flowing ideas.

I think encrypted DNS as a default is a good thing and swapping (with a notification to let you know what they did, why, and an easy button to revert the setting) in an update would be great.

> We completed our rollout of DoH by default to all United States Firefox desktop users in 2019

Why did this setting change for me today mid-session? Did someone malicious use this functionality to change my settings outside of the context of an update? I don't want anyone to be able to remotely change my privacy settings. Knowing this feature exists makes me extremely uncomfortable and has broken my trust in my browser.

This has nothing to do with OSS though. You can switch from a closed sources solution too.

The problem is you investment and attachment to certain things.
I like(d?) Swift and I do believe there were some projects to make it more usable for server-side applications, but it still seems to be limited to Apple applications.

But it has the potential to go beyond, it just needs marketing. It worked for Go (from a Google-internal language to replace C++ to a widely used popular language), Rust (from a Mozilla internal project to solve their issues to a widely used and popular language), even Typescript (as a replacement for flowtype, coffeescript (?), atscript (that was a thing) and some others, again developed, sponsored and promoted by a big organization (Microsoft) after being necessary for their large scale web applications (Office).

anyway, Swift uses LLVM to compile so OS-specific libraries aside, cross compilation shouldn't be a problem - even to WASM.
The Turing test is like saying planes don't fly unless they can fool birds into thinking they're birds. - Peter Norvig, via https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup

IMHO other intelligence tests are the same - they tend to measure familiarity with established systems of rationality and response within a given culture only.

Here's a thought experiment. Imagine a student who can't read, or who can't read the language the test is written in, or are an elementary learner of that language. They would tend to score poorly. All communication is like this, not just written tests. But the logical basis upon which rationality is measured within said tests is also a language, and its drawbacks exactly parallel that of language itself. Perhaps what IQ and similar metrics are really measuring is cultural indoctrination and familiarity as a highly tangential proxy to the basic cognitive abilities which they actually purport to grade.
The second example, Grayson, makes no sense to me. This is someone who would not have committed a crime, perhaps never has, and never would have if not being asked to do it. The police literally invented a situation to encourage him to commit a crime. Saying that he was "inclined" is weaselly. I doubt this would fly in the UK although curious to be shown otherwise.
At what point will one time use plastics be banned? Things such as bags, plastic bottles (such as water, or soda)

Until they're taxed at such a high rate as to make them not viable, it will never stop.

According to google: Coke sells 1.9 billion bottles per day

A huge portion of that is prob aluminium, but even lets say 1/3rd are plastic bottles that is still 630M bottles per day!
Ehem, Windows, anyone?
> uses server-side decorations and tries to be as unopinionated as possible

You are contradicting yourself. Some people think decorations should be server-side others think client-side. So it seems what is better is an opinion.
Blood sacrifices and invocations to see who can summon the cutest and fiercest beast. You show your demon to the camera and get votes on it and on the chants you did to bring it from the depths. At the end of each sprint.

Remote orgies to appease the gods of nature and ensure a good deployment. Everyone wears traditional handmade masks for anonymity and we only do it if all tests are green, obviously. Every three months or so; depends a bit on the moon.

Previously we tried more traditional stuff like fire walking but we had to stop doing that one because a guy in another team wasn't careful setting up the coal, ended up burning the company laptop, and then HR banned it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit (for constructive commenting):

I guess I don't like rituals. I much rather prefer a less forced environment for more spontaneous and relaxed communication.

That's not to say you can't have some habits or whatever, but I feel most of those "cool ideas" always end up feeling tiresome to some part of the group if they don't grow from the people themselves.
As mentioned in another comment, Windows Sonic is the default spatial implementation provided with Windows by default. There are also paid Dolby Atmos and DTS plugins available through the Microsoft Store where licenses may be included dependent on your hardware or OEM, e.g. my Logitech Gaming Pro X includes a license for the DTS plugin.

Personally I do like the Dolby Atmos plugin, I have my computer connected to a TV with sound passed via eARC to my soundbar. However, if you're consuming Film/TV with such a setup, you probably just want to enable Dolby/DTS passthrough instead.
I used Tor Hidden Service to access an SSH port to a router in my home network and it works great... as long as Tor works. Being constantly under attacks and censorship makes Tor unreliable.

The FSF license is not just to protect the rights of the open source authors but the users too. If a software author doesn't understand this, they are the one who are to be blamed, as they don't understand the open source philosophy that the FSF advocates. One can ofcourse choose to disagree with some of their principles. In such cases, they are free to copy the FSF license an modify it as they want, but they can't call it an FSF license. Or they can choose a different open source license that aligns more with their philosophy.
I'm not sure how they've kept up, as I haven't used Qt in some time, but back in the 4.x days the documentation was absolutely stellar. Extremely thorough and almost every non-trivial feature came with code samples. I couldn't for the life of me understand why anyone was using GTK at the time.
I’ve really seen this go both ways. As an individual contributor working remotely with a mostly in person team sending a weekly summary was one of my most effective tools for getting my work seen and getting people to address issues that were impacting me. As an individual contributor on a fully remote team I saw many of my peers treat the weekly summary as a chore and put minimal effort in, which meant the content wasn’t very useful, which meant no one bothered to read it and the whole exercise just became a waste of time. This type of thing can be incredibly valuable, but it really depends on team culture and buy in from the participants.
Adding that although 'the Fed receiving taxpayer funds to prop up the stock market' happened, the USD as the world reserve currency allowed the Fed to create digital dollars ('money printer goes brrr' in wall street parlance) until eventually there are so many dollars in circulation we get inflation ...and here we are...one of the reasons the US now has a weaponized dollar and China and Russia are now openly challenging the reserve currency...
Here's one way (YMMV) of reading academic papers. It usually takes time, and a couple of passes, and you may try to understand the ideas and impact first, to then move to the design/implementation, and the experiments that demonstrate the paper claims. http://ccr.sigcomm.org/online/files/p83-keshavA.pdf
Not to sound weird just wondering as a common person. If you wanted to see outside of your normal internet have to use things like Tor/VPN right. Wonder if regular internet users know about that.

I keep thinking I wish I could SSH into a satellite and have a look myself. But yeah not like they spend the money for those things to be freely accessible by anyone.

Meshnet is cool but adoption problem same for Hamnet.
That's probably only 2k-3k unique visitors, though.
A few thoughts:

Prior to the 2008 crash, the US' "fundamentals of supply and demand" were still firmly in place as well. It's just that demand was massively juiced by easy money and an expectation that "housing only goes up" (speculation).

Clearly not all of Canada is in a bubble (Toronto, but even more, Vancouver, has always been expensive), but when a house in Brampton, Ontario (50 km from downtown Toronto, 45 to 75 minute commute with traffic) goes from $890,000 to $2.2M in 20 months, that's speculation.

When in Barrie, Ontario (2hr commute, 120 km away) you'd be hard pressed to find a home for under $1M, that makes zero sense.

And when small town BC (<20,000 population) has houses worth $1M but no industry or well paying jobs, that's a bubble.

Those numbers are more inflated than the peak 2007 bubble in the US, despite lower incomes in Canada. Houses in Las Vegas were bubblicious when they hit $500-$600k, let alone $2M.

I agree that major urban cores like Toronto and Vancouver might only see a 20-30% correction (just like San Francisco and New York in 2008), but other places are in for a world of hurt (similar to Las Vegas (-66%, https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LVXRNSA) or Miami (-55%, https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=8hD)).

And unlike the US, many mortgages are recourse mortgages - you don't just walk away, you're on the hook for the full mortgage if after selling, the proceeds doesn't cover the debt. Plus Canadians can't lock in interest rates (and monthly payments as well) for 30 years like Americans - so less ability to just "ride it out until prices come back".

Canadians have much more risk exposure when home prices drop than Americans.
What about inference latency? Im only aware of audio diffusions model but even there latency was pretty big (2/3 years ago)
"Zas Editor has search and navigation features VSCode does not have"

Im sure vscode has more options than Zas. Personally i need: move last open tab to left, vi-mode and sequence keybindings with context. Other than that i need my settings/extensions to be synced across devices. Does Zas have these?

I'd check it myself, but it's mac only and im on Linux. There is no info if this will change or not. FAQ should give more info.

Other than that, i dont like editors that are language specific. I dont want to use a different editor for each language. It says it supports go & rust. But what if you are making a http server that serves some basic HTML files? It would be kinda annoying if it didnt support html/css/js indenting or syntax errors.

I would agree that vscode is kinda slow. Although it's fast enough for me. It seems faster than a couple of years ago. Still, i dont like my apps being written in electron. It's a waste of memory, CPU and electricity. So that's a win for Zas if they dont use electron.. What are they using? Would be nice to know.

I like the bussiness model. But it just cannot compete with vscode. I think could have. And it would have been the smart choice.
> Drive is something we can choose and cultivate

oh really? How one can cultivate drive if she, for example, has had several burnouts from what she used to had a drive for and it was the only thing that ever interested her for whole life? Or if he reached the ‘plateau of sustainability’ and just bored and, again, it was the only activity that kept him from strong suicidal thoughts? There is a possible case when someone just don’t give a shit about nothing through his life, what’s then? Cultivate a drive along with unstoppable thoughts continuously going to your head like ‘There is no point in absolutely anything’. And please, don’t confuse these examples with psychological diseases

I changed the first sentence from "please limit" to "i would reduce" as it is not my intent to "police phraseology" but to state my opinion in reaction to someone else opinion. Maybe there is some other phrase that would be even better to make the rhetoric non-violent.
A downside with tor is that it is slow (or, was slow at about five years ago when I tried it, even with a low hop count).

Presumably the pi is just running Minecraft
Pick-and-place factory jobs were not lucrative either, but got automated simply because robots are better at it. Having human drivers that get tired and have a legislated maximum number of hours they can drive in a day (for a good reason) leads to inefficiencies that Walmart may be eager to get rid of: some fruits, for example, have a small window between ripening and going bad, being able to deliver produce faster in general will be a huge plus.
> The worst allegation IRL I've heard about him is a tendency to give the impression that he discovered all of this stuff when he did not.

Yeah, but it's worse than that. It's not just that he uses his employees' work and acts as if it's his. He takes ideas from the physics field, rephrases them in the terminology of his "physics" and then acts as if he came up with this!

Example: In a podcast from last year with Sean Correll, who is one of the people in the world who knows quantum mechanics best, Wolfram gave a short summary of his theories ("our models") and then goes on to describe "branchial space" and "rurial space". In a way as if that's a new discovery and he came up with it and "it turns out" and "I recently realized" and "we've discovered" (with "we" always meaning himself). You can really hear Correll hardly being able to hold it together. This brilliant idea has been around in physics for many decades, one of its flavour being the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics which Correll has given very good and accessible popular-science presentations about. It's just nonsense that Wolfram "discovered" this. He not just recycles it but more so in a way that's not helpful.

This all is not just "human". It's disingenuous.
This looks great. Please consider adding support for Ruby. I know some of the smart features will not be possible/difficult in Ruby but if you can add some smarts around Rails support, you might attract a decent chunk of developers. Also almost all Rails development happens on Mac.

Edit:

The trial should ideally be 1 month. It takes a while to put the editor through its paces.

Also support for running a command outside the editor (for example auto-formatting / linting) is essential
5 story building next to train station... And I realistically would expect at least 7-9 here. Maybe force them to build underground parking making it more expensive, but still, that is sort of area you should aim to densify in future.
Someone who plays it "fast and loose" in terms of engineering (for example, deploying straight to prod). As parent mentions- this isn't necessarily a bad thing depending on the context (but "cowboy" here has a negative connotation).
> Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient". Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions and other controlling bodies.

It IS censorship.
Don't give it any heed. This is the same guy who wrote that e-bikes could be made cheaper by replacing the cog-and-chain drivetrain (which is extremely efficient) with a motor-generator combination (which is more expensive, heavier, and far less efficient.)

He seems to love writing /r/iamverysmart garbage, pathologically unaware of how little he knows about the things he writes about.
I live in China and (still) use Firefox in preference to Google. I agree they need to fire the management and focus on the code. The big pain with DNS is that it's one avenue of censorship but also a proxy for many wrong-headed network geographic assumptions through the lens of geoDNS. "Oh, you resolved from Europe, so you really want a European server! Let me help you out there..." The internet has far too many of these half-baked hacks layered now, it's getting to the point where to obtain a halfway trustworthy response you have to have a dynamic network of geographically distributed and temporally transient nodes seeking similar information and voting on the result. Geoscoping, echo-chamber personalization, household profiling, jurisdiction-second-guessing, ID verification as an outsourced service, political policy fandangling, globe splitting for artificial market segregation, walled-gardening, DRM...
This depends on your trust model. If you don't know a project's maintainers and you trust GitHub then this model lets you verify the maintainers' work by looking at the source, while not having to build it yourself.

That's a big assumption, but the idea is likely that there are lots of projects and lots of maintainers, too many to vet them all. (But who will vet all that source?)

Ideally, though, someone would do the builds independently and then compare the checksums.

There is something to be said about the whiteness inherent in academia and trying to reduce that. But I think advancements in that area have more to do with linguistics and "UX" than the actual content.

Good point. "As unopinionated as possible" should be the emphasis. Perhaps the toolkit could support both types of decorations, with flags that enforce which decoration policy is used.
Consulting is extremely broad so talking about it as one group is almost meaningless.

Inherently consulting struggles because of two things:

1) Consultants usually consult clients on issues where the clients have little knowledge. So it's hard for the clients to challenge consultants on anything.

2) Consultants usually work by the hour which does not align incentives with clients very well. They have little incentive to work quickly and effectively because the slower they are the more they can charge you.
This can backfire if the consultancy gets a bad reputation which is why you see reputation being very important in consulting.

Designing better incentive structures is really difficult though.

I would say yes the world of consulting is full of bullshit, especially in America (from what I hear). Scandinavia (from personal experience) is better but not great.

Not OP but in tech cowboy often means "taking unacceptable risks to increase velocity". In this case, shipping code without integration tests in Staging. whether that risk was 'unacceptable' is the difference of opinion at issue.

> wouldn't we see drivers sleeping while the truck was on the highway?

What, and get paid for sleeping? Snark aside; it will just tie up drivers to one per truck. instead, trucks can drive themselves between depots/warehouses, and humans will do the last mile (1 driver:many trucks) and the driver can go sleep in their own home at night and be off the clock.
All stores listed in Europe are either sold out, or 1 per customer (which makes the shipping expensive). Guess it’s back to waiting and hoping ;)
