I always wonder - who will be looking at the footage? Your manager is obviously too busy, so there must be some department of workers checking on other workers?

Then, ownership. How can you be sure this video footage is kept safe and private? Who owns it and for how long can they keep it? Imagine a teenage child entering the wfh room while you're on a break, I can image wanting to have that video removed immediately.

Also - a home office which is surveilled this way must be decorated completely neutral; you might have an incorrect world map on the wall or a product made by a competitor in view, or perhaps a beach picture of your family to which people can be very sensitive.

Huh??? Mainstream scientists are "all denying that space exists"? That's news to me.
Just because they don't say it doesn't mean it's not there.

WSJ and NYT specifically have been running a steady stream of articles about the need, benefits, and inevitability of returning office workers to full time in person work.

You don't need a conspiracy explanation to see the trend in these publications, and they've obviously been working this from multiple angles. There's no reason to dismiss this article as part of that pressure just because it can also accomplish another goal.

In the US at least, there are many ways to avoid paying any taxes on home sales. You get a 500k tax deduction every 2 years for primary residence swaps, or do a 1031 exchange to avoid taxes on rentals.

I had a peer and we both made 120k with 35% taxes. In the last 10 years he made 2.5 million trading up houses tax free. Roughly 2x our salary per year tax free.

A lot of jealousy going around. I try to say good for him, but a lot of people have more trouble with that.
Because a lot of projects, probably the great majority of projects, do not need this level of control.

If you need that level of control, use Spack or Nix or whatever.

Whenever threads like this come up, people have a weird tendency to hold Python on some kind of pedestal above other languages.

I can't think of a single language package manager or installer or version manager that makes even a faint attempt to control system level dependencies like a Fortran compiler. Why is Python somehow bad for failing to manage this? The problem is and should remain out of scope for any particular language tool chain.
This, a million times. Extra tools means extra magic and magic is always bad.

I expect this to change. NPM will roll out mandatory MFA for the most-downloaded packages[0] (RubyGems as well[1]). I expect this will rise to a 100% requirement at some point because Github's decision to require MFA by the end of 2023 will massively raise the waterline of folks who have the capability to MFA and experience with MFA.

I use spreadsheets for lots of games for various reasons but generally because the UI of many games is "klunky" and often doesn't provide enough information without requiring tons of clicks, or even worse, only shows info once and you have to remember it for the next 100 hours of play-time. I generally don't play a game through to the end in one sitting, I'll put it down for months and revisit and have no idea where I left off. Here's a small list of recent spreadsheets...

- Divinity Original Sin to track skills i've assigned to which characters as well as discovered recipes.

- Dyson Sphere Program to keep track of which star systems and planets i've visited (there are tons) to show roughly how much of each resource is there, sun/wind energy stats, etc. and whether i've exploited the resources there or not.

- Game Dev Tycoon to keep track of what types of games i released and the resulting ratings (which determine payouts). It's a very arbitrary system and i feel only through trial-and-error can you discover what games will get good reviews. It's borderline cheating but i figured since i did it myself, it's only half-cheating ;)

- Mount and Blade to keep track of which kings, queens and princesses i have interacted with and their likes/dislikes for when i communicate with them. Necessary because once you start a dialog there's no way out until you finish the dialog. And there's absolutely no way i can remember 300+ names and their standing with me, plus i play very irregularly (still Early Access and things change constantly). Yes you can click on royalty names and it'll tell you the standing, but it's just so much easier to have a spreadsheet open on another monitor which you can glance at from time to time.

- Rogalia for recipes, rent, combat, conversion times, selling rates...

The quote is the right way around: if you owe a million dollars ($1M) and can't pay, they'll foreclose your house and other assets and recover some of their money - it's entirely your problem.

If you owe a billion dollars ($1G) and can't pay it back, then the bank will work with you to try to get the investment back on its feet, as they will certainly not be able to recover any significant amount of it forcefully. It becomes their problem.
In recent versions you might have to hover for the icon to appear, which is infuriating.

Except for that, all proxy icons should be dragable without problem if they are from the native widgets (so no guarantee for misguided developers who reimplemented it to look like the native one without actually implementing its behaviour). There might be a small delay between the moment you click on it and the moment you can drag it, to avoid mistakes (I think that was the case at some point, not really sure now).

You can use Pyenv entirely as a build/version manager if you want. Just don't use `pyenv activate` and point your tools to the absolute path of the Python interpreter that you want to use.

In recent versions, the shims are installed to a separate directory, which you can omit from your PATH if you never want to use them.

What folks call signing is, if you step back, basically another kind of attestation. It's an attestation of authorship.
> What process does npm use to make sure my new key is valid? Can a person with control over my email address fake that process?

It seems there should be some multi-factor process.

Developers need to register a password, an email address, and a YubiKey/TOTP token. If they lose access to the email address, they can log in to their account with the password and token. If they lose the token, they can be issued a new one with the email and password (or recovery codes).

As long as the account stays secure (i.e. an attacker doesn't manage to keylog the developer's NPM password and email password) then the NPM account can be trusted to add new package signing keys. The npm client then needs to trust metadata from NPM which vouches for these new keys.
Before MIT I was briefly set to sign a contract with Elsevier. So glad
I pulled out in time. Sorry to put it so bluntly, but they were pure
corporate poison.

I met another author some years later who published a technical book
with them. It went to press full of typesetting errors and
mistakes. He found evidence in files that the proofreading had been
outsourced to India. They wanted to charge him to fix the mess they'd
made.

When it comes to scientific research, Elsevier are trying to build a
monopoly. They convinced me of the necessity of SciHub. I always tell
students to have nothing to do with them.

Yes, but if companies are gonna outsource, they are gonna outsource whether their employees work at the office or work remote. It's purely a financial decision, not a "if you don't come to the office, we are going to outsource you," decision. Executives might use that ploy/threat to get people into the office, but they will still outsource regardless, if it makes sense for their company, just like they have been doing for the last 20+ years.

I do. I started during the pandemic. I used to give speeches a various conferences and write books before, but there’s more than enough gig work in crypto now that I can work for several DAOs at a time. It’s a lot different, and there are rarely meetings. Most work is done on Discord, and the organizational mechanics are more Tao-like and less ego-focused. I’ve really worked to find the right DAOs and I’ve had to re-work my brain to do well in this space, but I’ll never sit through a terrible meeting again. One where nothing gets done. Most everything on Discord has a purpose, and the emoji reactions really help reward contributions. It’s all small details that add up to a larger sense of fulfillment. The pay is twice what I was paid for full time before. I also work about part time most weeks. Sometimes I work odd hours on a launch.

Neither sexpr nor JSON are self-describing. They are both dumb, barely more than syntax formats that you can build stuff on top of if you wish so, which then might be self-describing and extensible.

With that said, there's EDN and fressian which solve the problems mentioned.

In EDN you could encode an instruction like so for example `(replace :path "/foo" :value 1)`

This reads like a function call because it is a representation of a function call. The semantics are already there.

Even better you could use namespaced keywords and symbols where applicable and suddenly were in a world where we can convey context without nesting, out of bounds information/schema or funny string formats.

I don't agree that the characters do things no normal person would do or that they are perfect. That just isn't the case at all. If you read the book, you will see. There is a a lot of depth and variety in the characters. All of them (heroes, villains and those that are neither) have flaws they have to cope with and false beliefs they have to overcome (or not). For instance, Rearden gives moral sanction to people who are parasites on him. Dagny keeps trying to run the railroad when the other heroes have stopped. Rand was a really good novelist, in the Romantic tradition of novelists like Victor Hugo. Which makes sense---writing novels was her primary love in life.

I also don't believe someone can get a good understanding of Rand's philosophy without reading Atlas. Atlas paints a picture of the kind of things Rand saw in the world that she used to induce (derive) her philosophy. Without that context, you lose too much.

Anyway, I'm happy we're getting to chat about Atlas, and I'm glad you've enjoyed some of my comments.
That's true, but XML tends to map rather poorly to basic data types in common programming languages. With JSON you usually get to work with native objects or map structures; with XML, you're stuck with either tree or event APIs, which are a lot more complex and add another layer of indirection.
While I would not put cameras in my home, I do want a copy of the record for myself in the event something happens on my property that I could be liable for, such as a trip and fall on the sidewalk in front of my house. Or if I have to use self defense, or if cops do something unsavory, or if someone breaks in or damages car, I have evidence. It is a type of insurance that costs basically nothing.

I was already able to provide a good look at a thief’s car who stole a package from my neighbor’s doorstep to distribute around the community. And the neighbor’s camera got the theif’s face.

I also have a dash cam for the same reasons. I want to have my evidence because others will probably have theirs and my evidence can be a tool to protect me.

I was one of the first sailors to go through DS A school at Mare Island. Previously the DS went through ET school first. We learned the purpose of every gate in the UDT a 15-bit computer with 512 words of memory before stepping up to the 642A and 642B computers. This was in 1967 when it was still possible to know how every bit of hardware and software worked.
Non-violence however requires (!) a functioning democracy that listens to the citizens - one might argue that a democracy that listens to and serves the interests of all people is the only way for any progress that is achieved non-violently. For me, the rise in political violence in the US is not surprising at all given how more and more of the citizenship has been left behind and ignored by its representatives. And even the progress that happened in the US' recent history... a lot of it only happened after large scale riots (such as the Civil Rights Act 1968). Fittingly, it was MLK himself who said the famous quote "riots are the voice of the unheard".

Especially regarding revolutions against authoritarian regimes - I can't name even one major society that went through the change from an authoritarian government to a democracy without a war or revolution of some sort (even the British parliament's history has a couple of wars related to it). Usually, two or three revolutions, civil or external wars are part of any major democracy's history.
I think the tool they used came from their capital reserves. IIRC they had about a billion dollars worth of BTC, and they have money from other sources as well. So they got liquidity to buy up all the sellers of UST on exchanges and stopped it from going to zero. If you have enough capital to soak up the supply, then you're good.
This is just good internet hygiene: don't go online unless you have something specific to look up or research.

Wow, that's really banged up! Wasn't that the thing the parachute was attached to? I would have thought that with a parachute the landing would be softer.

Oh wait, Mars is almost a vacuum and the parachute is really just used to slow the lander as it's traveling at ridiculous speeds. Now I wonder what the terminal velocity was-- certainly higher than it would be on Earth, even with 1/3 the gravity?

I wonder if there are good pics of the part of the delivery system that used rockets and didn't have a parachute? Did it fare worse?

Random, but along the same vein I worked on a side project which allowed people to create a paid bounty for answering a stackoverflow question. The way it worked was that you would create a question on stackoverflow, go to our website and pay for your bounty with the stackoverflow link, then when any random stackoverflow user answers your question and the answer is accepted, they can simply create and account, authenticate and we will send then their winnings.

I built a remedial MVP, but it worked. Lots of edge cases and concerns when it comes to handling money movement for multiple parties. If you ever look to expand your use case, that could be cool. I was willing to pay for a Kubernetes stackoverflow question that was killing me, so i built that.

The eligibility criteria:

The Opportunity Zone Selection Process

As prescribed by law, governors nominated which census tracts should be designated as
Opportunity Zones by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. To be eligible for designation, a
census tract must:

- Have a poverty rate of at least 20 percent; or

- Have a median income below 80 percent of that in the State or metropolitan area, or for
rural census tracts, 80 percent of that in the entire State; or

- Be contiguous with a census tract meeting one of the above conditions and have a
median income less than 125 percent of the qualifying contiguous census tract. [0]

That's a false equivalence, however. In 2016, stolen meant "gerrymandering, winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college, voter suppression" - real and measurable impacts to the outcome.

In 2020, stolen meant conspiracy theories about people cheating at the polls with absolutely zero evidence that anything untoward had happened.

In both cases, "stolen" is the wrong word, but to casually lump them together is also incorrect.
