> Please think for a second about how a WFH policy might impact some groups more than others.

I'm curious why you think anyone needs to "think" about this. Some of us are perfectly happy with WFH and don't feel guilty for it, and there's really nothing to contemplate further and no moral crisis to spark.
This is why tokens make sense. Can fund development of new features if you could integrate new tokens on Monero. It’s how Ethereum has moved mountains with new infrastructure projects.
I do value the Purism goal of eradicating all the blobs from the hardware, but reading this I don't feel any envy compared to my Framework which is almost a year old already.

I don't have fixed standard ports, but I do have 4 full thunderbolt 4 ports, supporting power/charging on all, and displayport on all, and the modules convert those into whatever combination of dongle-less ports I want. Even though I would like a dongleless ethernet and there is no module for that yet, I still feel like I have way better io than this because what I do have is configurable and way more powerful.

Framework's special aim is more about hardware freedom and reusability/repairability, but software freedom is a very close second and they are not exactly slouching on that job.

Of course the machine is fully supported under linux for all hardware, and beyond that, they have fwupd support in beta, and most impressively they open sourced the bios a few months ago.

Between the open source bios and the ability to install whatever wifi card and storage you want, and the ability to disable the management engine in the cpu yourself by a hack essentially, you get pretty close to eradicating all the blobs.

And it's cheaper, even more repairable, and has better io (in a sense).

It has hardware camera & mic kills but not hardware rf kill. The screen is 3:2.

I routinely run 2 portable external thunderbolt/dp displays. Single usbc/tb3 cable to each display, power and data.

I'm not a gamer but other people have used external gpus on it so the ports support that.

I also routinely use a tb3 dock on my desktop for gigabit and two monitors and power on a single cable.

The plugin modules also means that the usbc ports are also all essentially prophylactic. If you break a usbc port, all you really broke is a $9 passthrough module which you can replace in 2 seconds like swapping a thumb drive. You can even keep using the real usbc port while the replacement module ships, if you didn't already have a spare.

64g removable ddr4, 2t removable nvme, 11th gen i9. I don't suffer for power.

Battery life could be better. After tuning I get 6 or 7 hours. Not really up to par for today, although my machine is maxxed out in cpu, disk, and ram which is on me. There is a known issue that some of the plugin usbc modules draw power at all times even when not in use and even when the machine is powered off. So, I happen to use a thunderbolt dock on my desk, and my portable monitors are usbc, so I don't happen to ever actually use the hdmi or dp modules I got, so I don't happen to suffer that power drain because the usbc modules have no electronics.

I'd be interested in hearing more about the touchpad and keyboard. The Framework keyboard feels fine and is backlit, but I don't love the layout. And I really don't like the apple-style huge glass touchpad with no buttons. At least the pad is clickable so I can at least still disable taps. And at least it does work well when I must use it. Mostly I use an mx keys keyboard and mx anywhere 3 mouse.

I really like the keyboard and touchpad on my x1 carbon 5th gen (2017/2018).
This is a fallacious argument until you grapple with the reality that no HUMAN has the right to use another HUMAN to sustain life. It doesn't matter if a person is a fully grown adult that can cure cancer and world hunger, or a 1 year child. That person does not have the right to use another person to sustain their own life under any circumstances.

You are arguing a strawman. The question is not if the fetus is "human" or "life".
FWIW, I did my schooling on the West coast of British Columbia in the early 90's and it was BEDMAS.
Can’t think what the “ha” would stand for in their analysis, but the se and xx can be indicators of adultness when you have a naive algo for dealing with bot spam domains for adult-content-as-spam:

Some even started using multiple X's (i.e. XX, XXX, etc.) to give the impression that their film contained more graphic sexual content than the simple X rating. In some cases, the X ratings were applied by reviewers or film scholars, e.g. William Rotsler, who wrote "The XXX-rating is for Hardcore, the XX-rating is for Softcore, and an X-rating is for comparatively cool films." — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_rating

That said if they think the domain is a soft hit they should look at content, site age and classification in e.g. bluecoat, etc., which would counter the soft domain indicator. If the site allows comments and doesn’t always successfully moderate or filter out adult bot spam links, that can make even clean content sites get filtered. To be clear, not! aware of any spam at this site, but as a heads up to anyone w/ open commenting, comment engines that allow a website link are often bot-bait.
The new one sort of reminds me of the "lowbrow" style of Josh Agle, AKA Shag: http://www.shag.com
Which CL "interactive development" feature can't you get with either a jupyter notebook or ipython + autoreload enables? With a smart editor like VSCode or Spyder you also get visual variable inspections, history of executed code in one way or another etc. Only that can't easily save an "image" auto-magically, but data science and ML people wouldn't want to do this other than explicitly (eg. using fast loading formats like feather to reload semi-processed vars etc.).

I don't think you are aware how much the Python workflows of AI / ML / datasci people resemble you "common lisp ideal" ...but with a different language and better libraries :)

And if Julia succeeded, it will also bring decent performance to such workflows.

Sure, the way backend devs or devops people use Python is very static and different, but any experienced ML practitioners are at home with "interactive development".
Couple of random thoughts:

- Building things like this is always great. And its a fun site to poke around on.

- I would not count on this approach or expect it to be reliable in terms of actually hedging. Correlation, as a measure, has lots of issues. You are boiling down a lot of complex relationships into a single number. While it is convenient for many calculations, there are many problems. For example, many asset classes will go through periods with positive correlation and then later, negative correlation. This is due to a factor driving both securities price becoming more or less volatile compared to the other drivers. E.g., recent increased volatility around inflation expectations driving correlations between rates and equities. Whereas, few years ago, inflation was not driving anything.

- One alterative approach is to have a "risk model". Which essentially decomposes a security into drivers. Each security then represents a basket of these drivers. You can then use this model for range of purposes. While not perfect by any means, the model contains more information than a correlation. These too have a range of issues and creation and use is as much art as science.

- In general, you won't find many negative (or even very low) correlations across individual equities. Most stocks are driven by a common set shared risk factors that drive much of the risk. But if you can find negatively correlated securities (or lowly correlated), then that is certainly helpful.
I worked for a small company in 2020 that wanted to get people back in the office by June of that year to “foster better communication” while Covid was still going strong.

That next week, a recruiter from BigTech sent me a message about applying for a software engineering position. I asked them would it be permanently remote. They said “no”. I was about to end the conversation. But then we kept talking and they suggested I talk to another department that was always designed to be remote. I got a job there.

There are way too many opportunities for software engineers to be begging a company to WFH.
One of the flaws of policy circles is that they assume the unbanked are victims. The term, for that sector, is a proxy for the desire and recognition of people lacking access to capital and services, which is what the policy circle really wants to occur and being in the banking system had been the route to that for so long.

Now it is not necessary, with peer to peer digital cash operating in a parallel economy, that allows access to goods, services, investments, insurance, capital and more.
I really like Comme des Garcons (especially shirts, even if lately I'm wearing more Paul Smith and Etro) but it's very expensive (and like with many other high fashion brands only mainline items should be bought in most cases). Acne is great and almost reasonably priced in context.

Actually from what I heard they DID flesh out things.

But then they made the serious error of hiring Rian Johnson AND giving him free rein with the direction of the movie.

Rian Johnson already stated himself, he likes making divisive films.
He also stated he doens`t like Star Wars...

So he proceeded to ignore the plans that they had, and just do whatever he wanted.

1. He ignored several planned story arcs and just shoved things.
2. He ignored past movies and create a lot of non-sense.
3. He ignored the Extended Universe but in a bad way, Extended Universe books had a look of technical information and whatnot that circulated back into canon, with movies and canon TV series using that information, RJ just ignored that information.

I fully expected Lucasfilm to just give up and not even attempt to make Film 9, that is how bad Film 8 fucked up the plans... But seemly they made an honest attempt to save the franchise in Film 9 by making it fanservice on top of fanservice and hope fans forget all the continuity errors and non-sense the plot became riddled with in Star Wars 8...
You can just use evil mode. It's pretty much feature parity with vim, if not better in many ways (elisp for extension).
> I think if you want to compete with Rust, C or Zig you want to have a rich standard library.

C's standard library is rather spartan and includes some security issues. What C does have is a) interoperability-friendliness, b) a vast ecosystem.

People should learn lessons from C++'s success and understand how important it is to be able to easily consume C libraries.
And neither does your experience dismiss mine. I have also seen years of vulnerabilities going unnoticed in pinned dependencies four orders transitively removed from anything the developer has ever heard of, of malware being published without review in PyPI and npm, of bitcoin miners and private key sniffers, of bloated and unreliable code from reckless companies who would prefer to save on FTE salaries by leveraging any code they find lying on the street, all while I've seen the package management system I prefer - the one used by Hare - suffer none of these issues.
> it was a wrist destroyer for me (although I adopted the Caps-as-Ctrl very early too)

Admittedly not an option for many people, but in college I switched to Dvorak. Professionally, I spent a lot of years at companies with very weak lab computer authentication (basically just one account, shared, but it was air gapped!) and didn't want to change the keyboard settings so I became good at QWERTY again. Having used emacs on both, as a consequence, I've come to the conclusion that the emacs default bindings are better on Dvorak than QWERTY. Just the placement of the keys tends to involve fewer finger and wrist contortions, IME.
Would be interesting to see the differences in correlation from say 1980-2000 to 2000-2020. Of course that would exclude many of today's heavyweights.
"So the legal question is whether a baby that hasn't yet been born is a person"

That's not the important question. The question is can one person be compelled to use their body to sustain another persons life. We can't even force DEAD people to use their body to sustain life (i.e., a person has to consent to donate organs before they die).
> it makes clear that frequentists are also able to use the “more right” probability instead of the “more wrong” probability when they know more.

I shouldn't have used the word "more wrong." A more accurate model is the better term. Similar to how general relativity is more accurate then classical mechanics.

>Sure. But the meaning no longer includes “as far as we know”

The definition of any model including entropy doesn't include as far as we know. And usage of any model less accurate or more accurate isn't exclusively based on that phrase.

Less accurate models are used all the time and they summarize details that the more accurate models fail to show. In fact all of analytics is based off aggregations which essentially lose detail and accuracy as data is processed. But the output of this data, however less fine grained summarizes an "average" that is otherwise invisible in the more detailed model.

Entropy is the same thing, it is a summary of the system. Greater knowledge of the system doesn't mean you discard the summary as useless.
Torrenting comes to mind. Also if you trust the VPN provider more than your ISP or VPN provider has essentially no PII of you (in case of Mullvad).

@john_cogs: Are there any plans to connect a self-assessment of mental state to the assignment of issues/pings about mentions/incident-response pages in the GitLab app?

So, on "I'm on top of the world" days, I get assigned All The Issues, get a full-screen popup about each mention, and will be asked to be incident lead on just about anything.

Then, if my state is "slightly hungover", I mostly get a list of the most pressing issues still pending, without being overloaded with new stuff.

And finally, the "hugging my teddy bear" state: no additional automated workloads, respectful notifications to anyone pinging me, and a note to my manager if it lasts more than a few days?
Advanced Go Fuzzing Techniques
I think engineers tend to under-estimate how much of their work is communicating with other engineers.

Yes, you need that focus time. But running into someone on another team can be very valuable - you might learn that they're solving the same problem, you might learn that they're consuming the same API you're trying to figure out, you might learn that they're planning on working with your team in a few weeks, etc.
There should be a lisp only curated list like lobste.rs
The strange appeal of garden lawns
I mistook the name for that technique as well and my first thought was, "I thought the whole point is to not be invisible?"
A lot of this is fluff. I don't really care about plaudits, your gratitude or other fake positive reinforcement. Give me extra money if you think I'm doing a good job. For those who need a manager to tell you that you're burned out then that's totally the wrong way to perceive it. You tell the manager that you are and tell the manager you're taking time off. It's not a conversation. Those are statements you make and execute.
But that's just it though - if bad actors gain control, you lose the ability to reject OAuth creds (which is what OpenID is). Things like social engineering or phishing of credentials, which happens at scale today.

They need a way to handle situations when bad actors take over, because other solutions handle this with centralized authorities who step in and rectify the issue.
I find thick black leather gloves really help with my typing too.
That's kinda why I was thinking to wait a generation, but would it really be that bad to 40 year old eyes that have never been that good in the first place, and grew up reading comics printed on the cheapest newsprint available? The attraction for me is getting away from the glow of the screen during leisure time.
You totally missed the point. The author wasn't calling anyone a "fagtard". The author was making fun of the kinds of people who call other people "fagtards" while playing mindless online shooters. There's a lot of people like that.

What is wrong with using a word in this context?
Even more ridiculous: several small sites run by my team, from our own public IP space, have been blocked by the corporate firewall.

There has never been anything wrong with them, it's just braindead blocking software purchased by incompetent managers.
I loved the Art and Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance and this here is pure quality. Creating quality makes me happy but it's a shame that I don't get to always create quality at my current job.

Active power control of wind farms: instantaneous approach on waked conditions
> GC is actually a hard requirement for some problem domains such as anything making heavy use of general graphs.

This is manifestly false. I used to write general graph analysis kernels on supercomputers. We used (old-style) C++ and never had an issue with memory management. Your assertion is assuming a naive implementation that would have offered poor performance regardless.
> Hare aims to be successful within its niche for the programmers that find its ideas compelling, and nothing further. If you are using and enjoying C, C++, Rust, Zig, or any other language, and don’t find Hare’s ideas all that interesting, then I encourage you to keep using these languages.

I think they DON'T want to compete with any language nor attract C/C++/Rust/Zig/Nim/Forth/<name_your_language_here> coders.
In some areas I think it is great and I use it. My main issues with it.

Nocode still needs the same development process and change management which is a large part of software development. Even though nocode is sold as you can just flip switches.

Nocode always comes with limitations. Code does not.

Fixing things like bad data structures never seem to happen in nocode.

Nocode has been around since at least early 80s. Sold under different names. There are plenty of obsolete workflow systems out there.

Nocode comes with the risk of having too much configuration. Highly configurable systems are known to be expensive to, guess what, configure.

Nocode solutions always end up looking like Brasilia. A grandiose idea with much of the necessary stuff in the outskirts outside of the main plan(e).

I don’t think that’s the correct analogy. It’s more like Turkey creating great drones while also believing that drones are not an effective way to wage war.
It's really weird that we all don't just use one language. Can you imagine if different contractors building houses in the same neighborhood all spoke 7 different languages?

Sorry, the bathroom's gonna be later than we thought, we're having trouble finding a plumber who speaks Esperanto. And the deck's actually slanted because the framing team spoke a different language than the deck-building team so their interfaces weren't designed together. The roof is also porous now because the roofers' language didn't easily support water-tightness. Also, we need a crane to lift our toolbox since we need a duplicate tool for every language and now it weighs 5,000lbs.
Sounds like I had a similar experience to you, except many years prior. I actually worked on a desk where there was a front page-headline scandal, partly caused by lack of investment in tech. I would never recommend anyone work in finance based on my experiences, but most people get very excited and assume it was fun and lucrative work. It was neither.

I heard, on multiple occasions from senior leadership, that industry practice was to categorize all dev work as IT so they could justify lower compensation. Pay was, just as you pointed out, not the main problem with this setup. There was no respect for other people and individuals were frequently berated or humiliated for no reason.

One interesting observation: despite the fact that I am very well qualified to work in the sector, it's very rare for fintech recruiters to reach out to me. They must know that I'm far out of their pay grade now and will never go back.
If they find that it's hard to attract talent, they'll also pay well for remote. But if they don't, angrily worded letters are not going to be the thing that makes the difference. People are going to have to start voting with their feet before Apple will see the supposed error of their compensation formula.
Headline feels a little misleading, they didn’t track phones per se, they bought data from one of the dozens of cellphone data-brokers that continue to operate despite legislation and congressional action/in-action.

Who am I kidding, they will screw it up, they need to recoup their investment. Where to now?
I was thinking the same thing. To know that ABC follows DEF by x days with 95% accuracy would be a superpower in investing.

Of course, the problem with something like this is that using it would, of course, ultimately change the market so that x→0.

Go's standard library is quite far beyond C and C++ in terms of features. Neither C nor C++ as far as I know have a JSON parser, CSV parser, language parser (Go for Go, but C for C, C++ for C++), web server, crypto libraries, and so on.

Though C++ and Java both probably have more container/algorithm libraries builtin than Go does.
