I agree. I think a lot of this falls to how poetry is taught in schools.

There's a bunch of emphasis on the basic mechanics, but there is almost no insight at all into what makes a poem compelling.

Take, for instance, the humble haiku. I was taught it was three lines with a set number of syllables. No insight into there Japanese language, the meaning behind recurring themes, or even it's origins in collaborative poetry called renku.

You can draw a line from haiku, to wood block prints, to dada and surrealism, to beatnicks and the Beatles.

Western / English poetry is treated even worse. Lessons usually boil down to "write out words so that some rhyme in the right places".

There are some fantastic English poets throughout history and today, buried in a sea of unfortunate imitations.
I had an office with a door and window for 12 years at 2 different companies. It was great. I left the door open 90% of the time but it was great to be able to close the door for privacy the other 10%.

I changed to a much better job in 2019 regarding work and salary but everyone including the VP's are in cubicles. It is really annoying when everyone around you is on a different conference call and you have to block them out while trying to have your own conference call.

I only had to deal with that for 6 months before the pandemic sent us all home for 2 years. We are supposed to be in the office 3 times a week for the last 2 months. Some days I go in and immediately get annoyed by all the people talking loudly on their own meetings. I eat lunch and I just go home and work from there.

I look around on the days we are supposed to show up and about 1/3 actually show up. They are trying to entice us back with free lunch once a week but the food isn't even good. The company is doing well but the rest of the industry is doing great too so we have a retention problem. I don't think any of the managers really want to say "You have to be in 3 days a week" because they fear it will cause more people to leave.

I would really love to have an office with a door again but working from home is the next best thing. I like having my meetings with speakers and a speakerphone rather than headphones and a mic at my mouth.
please do this in miami, everytime I hear revving my heartrate goes up 9 bpm
Decent thing is at least in Tokyo, where I live, the fall in population don't really mean anything. There's still children around (not as much as in my home country, but still.) There's still elderly around. All the jobs are full even if they need more. More and more automation is needed.

The countryside sure get it really hard though.
What about stainless steel on induction?
> 2) Of course, but I’d hope most companies would be smart enough to be paying for productive output, not for bodily location

I think on this point, you’re seeing companies who value control, consistency, and predictability over maximum productivity. They just think that they’d rather get less done overall and have more control over the people they hire because they know not everyone will be more productive in a remote environment. There’s nothing wrong w/ that. It’s not a decision everyone will agree w/ but that’s why resignation letters exist.
These managers are getting fired because they had been put in charge of stopping the union forming - this is a threat to the managers at other Amazon locations to be more evil - "pour encourager les autres"

It's not 2 factor, it's ultimately 3rd party. I'll leave before I enable it.
Typing directly into a shell is a smell for teams that manage unwieldy-without-automation amounts of machines.

Shells are just REPLs; use your editor to drive them. This helps document what exactly was done on a machine, and encourages code re-use (yank-put from last time) and other tidbits you get when editing (git repos, git search, etc.).
Yes, tanks are useful; a well integrated force can use them to great effect. But Russia's military has no concept of how to do that. They're doomed whether they bring tanks or not.

Putin is pulling Russian troops out of Syria[1], and obviously those troops are going to Ukraine. That's one of several signs that Russia is committed; they aren't going to stop. I expect to see large scale Russian mobilization soon, possibly starting in earnest on Monday with "victory" day.

It's going to take between 1-2 months for that mobilization to yield men in the lines. By then much of the advanced heavy weaponry that Ukraine is receiving will be operational with trained crews and ample ammunition. The scale of Russian casualties will be catastrophic.

> You also give away your power as an individual to those running the union.

ideally it would be run by the members, not necessarily by another boss
No, not generally, because it depends. With mandatory paid social security and cheaper rent, it is somehow lower (for example) germany - but not for each every job, since some are in high demand (ml/ai specialists for example) . Google employees in switzerland are paid higher than in the US for similar tasks due the cost of living higher. (Same with other companies like facebook, twitter, etc.)
Can you choose to ignore the bill without any threat of state sponsored violence? If no, thats your monopoly on violence right there.
By the Chubb ad agency, I believe. There’s an old video of Jobs introducing the ad where he briefly mentions it.
The completely different industry structure. The film and theater industries work on time limited projects with a defined beginning, end and deliverable and most teams break up at the end of each project. Under those circumstances all a union can do to protect members is dualise, making lives better for insiders and harder for outsiders by restricting entry.

Long lasting organizations that have multiple overlapping projects with unions end up with compressed wage structures because the union campaigns for the median worker and the structure does not militate against that.
Kids are mostly being "dumbed" in school not educated. E.g.:

"Squeak Etoys, Children & Learning", Alan Kay

> The projects developed in Squeak use a different and simpler kind of incremental mathematics that allows very young children to understand some of the key ideas in calculus. We have found that more than 90% of 5th graders not only understand “Galilean gravity” but are able to derive the mathematical “formulas” (actually 2nd order differential equations) using this alternative mathematics, and author a simulation that matches up very well with the experimental data.

I think it’s to do with everyone getting along and working well as professional colleagues but not as a team.

There’s little camaraderie though or sense of shared ownership. interactions are more transactional, deliberate, thought out.

People maximise what’s best for their OKRs only. If this months it’s John on zoom or Jeff and if Mary was replaced with Sue, does it really matter?

There’s a reason team events and off sites etc exist. It helps people see beyond the professional façade to the human behind it.

No one ever does or can do “everything” the “hard” way. We all have our own opinionated and preferred lists of easy way and hard way things. e.g for me that’s fountain pens, train journeys instead of flights, paper journals, exclusively reading paper books etc.

Saving time from shaving doesn’t necessarily mean the saved time will be used in something like saving the world. It just means less time was spent on shaving than it would have taken if OP did shaving your so called “hard” way.

Also your 20m shaved annually seems very weird. There are approximately 365 days in a year and one “easy” way shave, imho, definitely saves more than approx 0.055m compared to a hard way shave if one shaves daily without a miss :-P
The real issue is half of the original Mark 1 tanks only had machine guns and they where all lightly armored. It’s primary role was fighting infantry as a mobile machine gun platform, and so the AFV is just another tank. If anything an M1 Abrams is further from the initial definition than an AFV.

People want to fit their idea of a “tank” based on a small subset of them while ignore things like flame tanks which spits on the narrow definitions.
Good point... I'm very comfortable where I am and really like the work & mission of my organization, so I haven't looked around much. Maybe I should, maybe my situation isn't as unique as I though it was....
No, since nearly everyone uses 3rd-party apps to do that. Destiny Item Manager or Ishtar Commander.

This is exactly right and it can be much more than 10%. And at the same time, many professionals can go out and land a new, remote job

The chances that people in a given area have a specific skillset or are of the commensurate skill level for a position, pushes the compensation necessary to entice those "equally qualified people" upwards. The issues is the tradeoff of compensation for office time. If individuals want less office time than the company consensus on policy (which implies attempted negotiation), all they can do is quit. If the company wants to spend more, they can choose to do that and will likely have to. It's not uncommon that a position sits empty, for some time, after a high level exit. It's equally possible this person was already in a position of weak confidence. It's unlikely that the public will be made aware of that level of detail. It's not as simple as swapping in cheaper, available labor, in the interest of corporate profit.
The temperature sensitive part in a VCO is actually the exponential converter inside, which has a strong temperature dependence. This is because the current through a transistor depends on the ratio V_BE / V_T, and V_T is proportional to temperature.

It's a neat trick that lets you build good temperature sensors out of transistors, which is very convenient, but in these VCOs you have to add temperature compensation to the exponential converter, and the temperature compensation is far from perfect.

If you take linear VCOs (instead of 1V/octave exponential), they'll be much more temperature stable.
Great point, Ligma.

Reading Firefox, Google gets money from chrome by a second order effect - from users using Google as their search engine. They also get money when you browse the web from adverts. The value of those adverts goes up the note they can track you.

Google avoids losing money by keeping tracking in the browser high.
is it possible that adversarial relationship might exist even without a union but it would just be hidden?

personally, i think i would prefer a co-ownership (coop) scheme than union, since that adversarial relationship is basically dissolved since you are also the owner along with your co-workers... idk just a thought
It's a logical fallacy, which means it's a fallacy when dealing with logical entities.

For that you have developer observability which doesn't carry the HUGE gaping security risks or performance problems. But still lets you debug the cluster at scale.

They have weekends in China and it’s not because of any labor movement. Working conditions and compensation increase because of supply and demand dynamics, which unions are a part of but not necessary for. For another example of countries that do not tolerate independent labor movements where economic growth led to better working conditions see Vietnam.
Is a comfortable car with plenty of fuel a requisite for a long road trip? No, you can go by foot, horse, etc. it sure does help though.

Open source work is a infinitesimally small proportion of *work*. No I don’t think it results in teams that are closer at all, I think (and can present no data either) that it’s just as likely to result in bickering and infighting. Guido leaving Python might be a good example.

Why can't Apple allow individuals who need to physically access equipment to go on campus on their own, be in the room by themselves, without demanding that they be exposed to groups of other people for days?

If just one person is ill, then many others will get ill in an office environment.

But scheduling a person to use equipment and having an hour between people to circulate the air properly should be doable. Meanwhile, the vast majority of Apple engineers can obviously work from home, so why not let them if they choose to do so?

Burnout. Take a loooong break and stay away from anything code related.
The only thing that makes the vast landscape of laws palatable is that they are not all enforced, all the time, without fail.

I seriously doubt you’d be able to get through a single day without breaking the law.

While I’d prefer to have fewer laws on the books, I’ll settle for having limited enforcement.

Not everything that’s illegal is immoral, unsafe, or harmful to others. The context and specifics of a situation often matters.

Your dystopian authoritarian ideals admit no room for autonomy — individual or otherwise — to apply situational context.
> I myself, like most educated elites, support some level of abortion rights, though I find myself favor limiting it to the first trimester, like most Americans.

Okay, so let me get this straight. You're pro-choice, but you only believe women that just so happen to reside in blue states deserve to be able to make their own decisions. Women unlucky enough to live in a red state meanwhile should have no say in the matter; it should be left to "their state" (read: their biased conservative Christian neighbors).

I should clarify that in my ideal world, on-request abortions are legal up until 12 weeks (with certain exceptions), which is the case in all of Europe aside from 6 countries. [1] (It's even covered by tax-funded healthcare in many of these countries, by the way.) Roe goes a little too far (and you're right that most Americans can agree on that). But the thing is, Roe was the only federal protection we have for abortion rights. And it was weak enough that Texas managed to ban abortions after 6 weeks anyway. Keep in mind that most American conservatives are interested in banning all abortions, including first trimester abortions. Mississippi proposed a 15 week abortion ban only because that's the earliest they felt they could get away with; they will very likely ban abortion outright as soon as Roe is overturned (along with at least 13 other states who are already guaranteed to do so).

The difference between deploying once and deploying just to add more logs. And more logs is a huge difference. I don't know about your environment but I can't push something to production on my own schedule. I need approval, process, etc.

This is painful to do just to add a log which might not include all the information I need.

> You are denying that there is a widespread rivalry between two ethnicities in France

The real issue is islamophobia and racism especially amongst the oldest who are sadly the majority of the population and the last to vote.

There is no widespread rivalry of any kind in France. You have to live an extremely sheltered life and watch to much TV to believe that.
I totally understand your pov and it’s often the one shared by full remote folks who enjoy it that way: “I produce good work nothing else matters”.

I find that a really sad, if not completely rational, outlook.

See I don’t want to work with someone who outputs great work only. I want to work who can share a joke, help out, bounce ideas of, experiment with new things and fail/succeed.

In other words, I like work to be joyful and productive.

They are comparable. China is still worse, but:

1) I fully expect to see the US government make up most of the US economy by spending in my lifetime (I'd argue they are already there, but that involves an argument I don't feel like typing).

2) COVID shows us that the US government also sees their role as deploying an invasive level of social control for The Greater Good. COVID level threats aren't going to be that rare, we'll see another one in our lifetimes.

3) The US government pioneered using phones to support a global surveillance apparatus (probably military too, I expect more than one missile has been targeted on an iPhone).

So to repeat myself, although I'd still rather take the Americans than the Chinese, these are not categorically different things. They see their roles as the same and their methods are converging. Especially on the subject of surveillance and the risks it poses to ordinary people.
Some people are extremely sensitive to the issue of the remote work, like it is some kind of inalienable right, and any (perceived) threat to it makes them want to grab a pitchfork and proteat.

I don't get it. Things are simple. The employer sets the terms, where you work and how the work is paid. The employee either accepts the terms or walks away. Sometimes the sides engage in negotiations, where the side with more leverage receives an advantage (like a valuable hire can get a pay raise our rights to work remote in an office-first company, for example). Why make so much drama out of it? If you don't like to work in office, find a remote job, end of story.

I think your skepticism is well placed, and I think you are asking the right question.

Here is why I'm hopeful. SwiftUI is as you say wonderful, but is very much a closed ecosystem. You can't really implement your own custom views, rather you can assemble the premade ones in various (cool and interesting!) ways. If you wanted grid layout before iOS 14, you were on your own.

By contrast, in what I'm building, everything is open-ended, and you are invited to build fully custom versions of every piece of the system - change propagation, async resource loading, layout, drawing, animation, everything.

So yes, I am hopeful this approach will give good results for especially those highly intensive applications you mention. And if not, we'll learn something why not. I'm looking forward to trying!
Couple things.

(1) The word "frontrunning" applies only in a very specific context, where you trade in front of an entity with which you have a client relationship. That is different from capturing a trading opportunity because you are faster than another party. Frontrunning is illegal and law-abiding HFT firms don't do it. They often don't even have clients to which this applies! Being faster is not illegal. Can we please stop using this term to describe behavior we don't like.

(2) What do they mean they introduce the term MEV (miner extractable value)? Everyone calls it that, and it's part of the incentive that miners have to validate transactions.

(3) Might want to add (2019) to the title, this paper is pretty old. Perhaps this answers (2).
Also, "correct practice." Something pointed out with guitarists all the time: If you practice sloppy, you will be very good at playing sloppy. It has a lot to do with why so many amateur guitar players can't keep a beat and don't know how to play over chord changes (which is also why so many metal solos are over a single unchanging chord).
