> While that statement may still be true, the underlying assumption is flawed: people cannot be counted on to be rational or ethical in many circumstances.

Except I'm trying to cover rational and irrational cases in separate halves of the "if".

I know in many circumstances people aren't going to be rational. Those are covered by a separate argument entirely.

> Likewise, your underlying assumption that decisions are made with our rational brain is not the general rule. Despite what we'd like to think, Region 2 governs our decisions and plans. Again, if your assumption was true, there would be no problem with a person making lunch plans if they had a damaged limbic system.

How do you think I'm saying this!? I'm not saying this!

All I'm saying is that region 3 is sometimes involved, and sometimes necessary to comprehend the options. If region 2 always makes the actual decision, that's fine. It doesn't undermine my argument.

> My point is the the plan decision/making is not initiated by our rational mind as a general rule. It's not that Region 2 "decides" and then Region 3 weighs that decision to figure out how to execute it. It's that Region 2 "decides" and Region 3 makes up a story so that the decision is congruent with our mental models.

Sometimes. Sometimes!!!

> Your "if" statement can be true, while also being largely inconsequential because the underlying conditional is not the general rule. This creates some irony in you underscoring that my point is irrelevant if your statement is about real world application.

It's irrelevant because you're talking about the ratio of people in the different if-statements, but all the if-statements have the same conclusion about showing up late.

One thing to keep in mind if you're interested in joining: the Digital Corps is for early career technologists, so if you have much experience in tech, you might want to apply to USDS (https://www.usds.gov) or 18F (https://18f.gsa.gov) instead.
I'm switching from using docker-compose + docker-sync[0] to using mutagen-compose and am recommending my coworkers across Windows, Intel Mac, and Apple Silicon Mac all do the same. For me mutagen-compose is solving the same performance file mount performance problems I was using docker-sync to solve, but mutagen is doing it much more reliably. I would have to restart the docker-sync (and sometimes the docker daemon) multiple times a day. So far mutagen "just works".

I use this technique as well, and don’t understand enough about wireguard to know why it would be better.

AutoSSH has been 100% reliable for me, with any lost connection restarting without conflicts, duplication, or error. My AT&T connection is definitely not five nines, so any tunnel needs to deal with restarts very well.
This sounds exactly like a manager I had before. We called him "Fart" behind his back. He was definitely one of the top-three worst managers of my 30+ year career.

I think anyone who aspires to me a manager should ask themselves, "Where does my leadership 'power' come from?" The answer is NOT:

1. Title/position.
2. Company org chart.
3. Experience.
4. Education.

The "power" of leadership comes from the people you manage. If you treat them right, you will have their loyalty, respect, and good work. If not, you can be King of the World, and nobody will follow you willingly, because you're a dick.

Yes, you can wield your company-power to fire people, similar to the way dictators keep people in line via the threat of physical violence or imprisonment, but that isn't leadership. It's weak and cowardly despotism.

We use Mutagen for Garden's hot reloading mechanism. (Garden is a dev tool for K8s and hot reloading enables users to sync changes directly to a prod like dev environment as opposed to doing a rebuild and re-deploy).

A ... or perhaps the central idea of free trade is that we can all be better off and get the most out of our effort by producing the most of a thing in a region that has conditions best suited to produce that thing efficiently. Makes sense, some places have lots of mineral resources, some places are great for grazing cattle, some places specialize and have a lot of expertise in producing textiles or.. whatever else.

These days though a big driver for the cost savings of globalized products are things like lax environmental regulations or ability to mistreat and exploit workforces.

I think it used to be around 130mb on Windows. I checked just now with the latest Electron 18 - and the ram seems to be around 30mb. The app consumes more RAM when it's extracting screenshots from videos (usually you do this once to build your "hub" - preview of your entire video collection).
Thanks so much for all the help.

Backstory - About a week ago, I got the original compiled, learning about autoconf and make a bit along the way. I turned on ALL of the debugging options to try to figure it out.

Stoical is a variant of Forth from BEFORE Fig-Forth, so I didn't even realize it was working at first. It uses = to print, not . which took a while to figure out. Once the penny dropped, and I had it working, I was able to turn debugging back off and find that it works pretty much out of the box. I replicated it on a new Debian 3 VM and it does indeed do so.

Unfortunately, GIT doesn't come with Debian 3, and my attempts to compile it ran into far too many prerequisites, including zlib, Tcl/TK, autoconf (which requires m4, but a newer m4), eventually I quit that approach.

How it works:

There's a small set of built-in words, which it then uses to bootstrap an interpreter (14 words long) which then loads in the rest of the language. All of this works right out of the box in Debian 3. The executable compiled under Debian 11 starts to run, but can't bootstrap itself. Interestingly, the image compiled under Debian 3 does work in it's place.

I think Electron/crossplatform tools are great at very early stages in order to test whether the product can work. You can quickly put together a working cross platform application to start testing features.

I am a noob at startups (working on some of my own ideas) but I almost always start with the most simple set ups (zapier + google forms tbh) to try some process with 5-10 people. If that seems promising I'll build a app over a weekend/5 days using flutter, and then get that into people's hands. I've not used electron, but at least my thinking is that if I can validate an idea and come up with a good business model, I can grow to a point that I can hire actually competent engineers to build the best experience for the users.

The primary goal (at least as it seems to me) is to solve some problem that people are comfortable making some tradeoffs(mostly unnoticed by normal people, let's be honest otherwise they wouldn't even want to try a bare bones google forms + email) while providing far more value to them.

Ultimately these are all tools, use the right one where it matters until it needs to be upgraded or changed.

Our corporate policy is to fully scan our Hard Disks with AV weekly. It never finds anything. That's 22,000 systems using a full CPU core every week...adding wear and heat and power consumption.

Likewise, marketing for this fastest hardware generally consists of a product that's 140% the cost, 110% of the performance, and 120% of the power consumed due to processor binning and supply/demand curves.

SaaS is a bottomless hole where you throw your processing without thought of power consumption, just write a check and make it go away.

I don't know. I assume that most places getting official ID absent any existing proof of identity is at least somewhat challenging.

In the US, I haven't had a social security card for decades (it was in a wallet that was stolen) and I honestly don't know if I could unearth my birth certificate from my files someplace. But I do have a valid passport and drivers license so it doesn't really matter.

Most of the noise about ID cards is very politicized. Most adults have government-issued photo IDs; lots of things are very hard without them. And, for those who don't, by and large, they'd have problems rounding up the documentation to get one issued in most places. At the same time, there is essentially no evidence that voter fraud is a significant outcome of ID not being required.
> Advice to port it to another language when they don’t understand what it is doing in the original language seems like a recipe for failure to me.

That depends. I make in my career A LOT of ports from OLD -> NEW. In the very short term, is not good.

But in the mid/long term is certainly right if the new lang provide significant advantages (and in the case of C: Almost any other lang provide significant advantages!).

The case of C make some no-brainer stuff go out of the window. Making your own hash-table? String? Memory management? All that is a mini-major project and besides the core task.

If you don't know C very well, you will screw up your strings, your hash, your memory: How that helps when ALSO you screw up your core tasks?.

This is essentially the long term endgame of any diehard adherent to stack ranking its employees.

Heavy stack ranking basically means for a life event, a worker is very likely to get axed. Any health event, having a child, partner has hard times, or management reorg that puts you with a boss that doesn't like you, and the writing is on the wall.

Companies with a good long term focus should concentrate on acquiring and developing long term workers.

Amazon in particular structures its pay (payoffs come from bonuses and vesting 3-4 years in) in such a way that if one takes a perverse sociopathic view of how they manage workers, that management is incented to rug-pull workers three-four years in so the vesting doesn't happen.

Amazon is DEFINITELY sociopathically and perversely managed to do this.

Once that fundamental disdain of your work force becomes ingrained, then all other organizational abuses (stack ranking, hire for fire, backstabbing) is all fair game.

It starts with stack ranking and the fundamental management sociopathy. Which anyone that looks into accounts of Jeff Bezos becomes apparent of the source.

So why has Amazon been successful? Amazon's advantage in the overall corporate competition landscape was simply that they built an integrated business+IT strategy while every other company treated IT as a cost and annoyance.

But they treat their people like utter shit, and as Amazon transitions from an explosive growth company to a more sustained presence, and from AWS from explosive growth to "utility", the now-huge middle management and workforce devolves from stack ranking and sociopathic disdain into a cesspool where only the wicked survive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_workplace

Unfortunately, Amazon continues to ride a growth momentum, so the toxic workplace will be viewed as a positive. Nothing will change until serious incidents occur.

Of course Amazon is huge, so there are workers who may be in less troubled areas. Just keep in mind that toxic areas of companies that derive from corporate practices will inevitably spill over to the "good" parts. Amazon is acquiring massive amounts of pure sociopaths in their management culture, and those sociopaths will "eat" other idealistic parts of the corporate management.

Corporate america is adapting. Better integration of IT and management is going to come to Amazon's competitors. Amazon's apathy to its product fraud and fake reviews, now stretching into a three year ongoing problem shows that it is faltering. Its lies during its AWS downtimes show a blame culture in action.

> I am truly curious what terminal app in Linux you feel is better than Windows Terminal at this point.

I like suckless terminal. It emulates a terminal in X11. It adds copy/paste and a few other conveniences. It does nothing else. There is no scroll bar, there is no configuration, there are no menus and no combo boxes. It's just a terminal emulator, and it works.
Perhaps just add a toggle as to what behavior the shift key has? It's just a boolean value, after all.

I get that the US is exceptional. I just wonder how people deal with that downside.
Public transport, cycling and walking aren't a reasonable option for the vast majority of those in the US.

I'm just outside of Washington DC (Northern VA, inside the 'beltway') - a locale that ostensibly has some of the best public transit the US has to offer. My neighborhood is highly walkable - any sort of quotidian essential (grocery, pharmacy, doctors, dentists, dining, library, etc.) is accessible within a ~20 minute walk of my home. But without a car, access to locales outside typical walking range is severely limited by public transit service frequency and coverage.

The shortest public transit route to my suburban office ~8 miles north? 80 minutes one way, including 30 walking minutes, half of which do not include any paved sidewalks. There are no sane or safe bike routes to this location. It is only a ~15 minute commute by car.

My commute to a typical downtown DC office location (Penn Quarter) by public transit alone? 75 minutes one way, again with 30 of it walking. That can be cut to ~50 minutes (inclusive 10 walking) if I drive to the nearest DC Metro station and take the train in, but then I have to rely on a car anyway, and I might as well just do the whole ~35ish minute drive into the city. Taking a bike to the train station would eliminate any time savings, and require dangerous riding on high-ish speed local roads and crossing a busy highway.

The situation isn't going to change without investing incredible sums in infrastructure (which probably won't yield improvement for close to a decade, realistically) and massive changes in local zoning and development policy to promote dense development near suburban transportation hubs (never going to happen with NIMBY attitudes and warring municipal interests).

gotta start somewhere.. empowering people is a big "yes" here.. on the other hand, government in the USA is plauged by an outsourcing addiction. Get the budget and signature authority, say whatever you have to say in any number of meetings to get that, and then it is off to margaritaville while pressured, less-authority people are required to make things happen, and they in turn hire outsourcing companies, who then in turn run modern-day "IT shops" which vary wildly, lets say ..

What effect does this good-looking GSA program have, over time, on this addiction to outsourcing for USA government work ? on the culture of bosses who run that, and on worst yet, companies that thrive on failure in government contracting.. which apparently is endemic.

Sincere good wishes to the people who are in this for the right reasons. I have to call the dark side though, since empowering that dark side with lofty words and new budgets, is worse than picking up litter in the park on volunteer day and going about your own business.
