I totally get that but come on.. if you can get into FANG you literally don’t have any job security fears. Don’t mention edge cases that may affect a few people but for the vast majority? Please.. the most pampered group of workers in tech. I would understand if this was non tech, and I’m not familiar with outside of US, but this is a non issue.

Btw speaking as a full time remote employee.
California versus Florida, a Covid Reckoning
In my small rural village, there's an idiot with a noisy car who's bellowing exhaust wakes everyone, every morning at 6:00am. The noise literally carries for miles.
Honestly I would pay to have an enforcement zone set up near me.
I honestly think that’s not the main reason we have inflation now. Since every country in the world is seeing similar inflation I would think it’s supply side and not something any central bank can fight.

I’ve always been Keynesian, but it faces the same problem as everything else, you need to be able to predict the future to do it well.

Many people can't tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke in a blind test, which is insane. I wouldn't base any decisions on 'most people.'
Unions arise for a reason. In an inclusive and trustful environment, those reasons can be addressed without adding another authority into the mix.
>You keep telling me that the AUMF is unconstitutional.

Due Process. Learn it.

>I literally just explained to you the difference.

No, you didn't. There is nothing in the AUMF that says a target can't be killed in the US, hence the "global" designation.

>This whole conversation began on the question of whether it was legal or not.

By definition, if a law does not pass constitutional muster, then it is not legitimate. The AUMF as implemented here was nothing more than an attempt to withhold Due Process from a US citizen. It's clear you think a text wall written by the guilty party will prevent me from pointing out that you are unable to show how assassinating a US citizen without Due Process is constitutional.

Show me how Al-Awlaki got his Constitutionally guaranteed right to Due Process. I'll wait.
I work 20 hours a week now, fully remote, making (a little bit) more than I used to doing 40. Granted, it's a machine learning gig and I took the pandemic to brush up on these skills, but it's definitely achievable in this market to have a good work/life balance.
I find most of what I do in web dev to be trivial to the point of mind-numbing. People smarter than me from different fields try to do what I do and often have far more difficulty than I'd expect.

Job security for me until the ML engineers work out I can probably be mostly replaced by a smarter templating engine!
The client itself no longer exposes the python interpretter, got locked down time & time again. It's be so neat to have the opposite: as flexible & accessoble a client as possible, one where scripting is super accessible to all.
People should really stop with the hyperbole. It makes people not take you seriously and ruins the message, even if valid.
You're going to need more than 30 motorcyclists at 80db before they equate to the sound of one car at 95db. The size of the gap seems pretty arbitrary.

I've never seen a pack of dozens of motorcyclists, never mind seeing them "often", although I am aware that this is a thing. I imagine the lower DB limit is due to lawmakers dislike of noisy motorcyclists.
Jobs hired Sculley as CEO, then disagreed with him, attempted to have the board kick him out, instead had the board turn against Jobs himself, was stripped of his roles, and quit.
Philosophy and experimentation. I managed to create a few features that are missing in every single UI, but nobody have ever noticed. These will make a lot of sense when they see them for the first time. I'm very interested in compact UI's that present more information without cluttering, about infinite desktops, multi-representations of data, customization of media, graphs depth, persistency and so on. It's more about the mechanics of UI's than style and animations.
Is the role of chloresterol in heart disease a political topic somewhere I'm not aware of? I'm not here to argue about whether or not other biases exist on Wikipedia.

You specifically claimed political bias and I specifically challenged that claim. If you'd like to retract that claim and walk it back to bias against medical unorthodoxy, that's ok with me.

I think it was just because they generally made less noise when the regulation was enacted in 1972. Car design has changed a lot since then to make them a lot quieter. Bikes have changed relatively little.
> Sure, but the company's interests are almost completely opposed to yours in most ways.

You do know that your employment depends on the success of the business, right?

The relationship with an employee is no more adversarial than your relationship with the local grocery store when you buy a bag of potatoes.
> We’re well past a polite society as a solution.

Isn't that a bit fatalist? Perhaps our society has degenerated, but who's to say things can't get better? Things have gotten better before. Society used to be very rude and brutish, but then got better. It could get better again, without having to build a techno-surveillance authoritarian monster with capabilities the Stasi could only dream of...
It for sure can be good, win-win.

> The size of the gap seems pretty arbitrary.

I think the gap is vindictive, motivated by the general public's frustration with motorcyclists.
What happens if four motorcyclists with legal 75db motorcycles travel together and create 81db of noise?
> but it seems like a decibel from one vehicle is as loud as a decibel from another, so I wonder why there's a double standard

It could be due to differences in the frequency distribution in the spectrums of their emitted sounds. How sounds affect us depends on both the level of the sound and its spectrum.

Also affected by the spectrum is how well a sound propagates. As a sound wave propagates it loses energy to the atmosphere, and the rate of that energy loss is frequency dependent.

I think, but might have one or both of these reversed, is that we are more sensitive to midrange or higher frequencies than to lower frequencies, and that lower frequencies are attenuated slower.

Given these differences I'm not surprised that there is a difference in the legal limits, although I don't know if these differences are the actual reasons for those different limits.
>All what matters there is tenure, not the quality of employee you are.

From what I understand is this is done because it's the fairest way. Unions, like anything, can be corrupted. It would be funny if the union rep's nephew always got promotions over other people. This is an attempt to prevent that. In other words, it's the least-worst way of doing it.

>My takeaway is that she would be far more successful in a non unionized workplace because hers was definitely more beneficial for slackers.

Possibly. In my experience, it's usually in the form of a $5 Starbucks gift card every year. It really depends on the position and the company. I've seen a lot of hard ass workers get treated like shit.
Thanks for making this.

Are there beginner courses for other technologies as well?
I understand that some managers and PMs whose jobs meeting people the whole time might think that office work is superior. But I've honestly been surprised that they lack the intelligence to see that many good software engineers work better alone in quiet environments.
I'm more bothered by "top players" receiving 38% of their counterpart's pay, with the question asking about average players. How is this supposed to teach students rigor and logic?
At some point in your life, you'll find that something you always thought was true and couldn't understand how anybody could see was false actually could be understood to be false by a totally reasonable person. At that time, I think you'll understand what I mean.

Unions are created because of unacceptable conditions. Fix those conditions in time, and no unions. No fear required.
Definitely good to try different editors, but don't write off the OG editors.

There have many, many editors hoping to make vi and emacs obsolete, yet decades later they still are heavily used. Not true for some of the newer contenders --- time is a great filter.
If you have the time and knowledge necessary to root most Android phones, bypassing root detection is just one or two more basic steps.

> There can be perfectly valid reasons to want to include the Control Picture characters in the data.

What you want is null characters. Multiple null characters can be used for multiple separating roles/levels. Microsoft implemented this idea in the Registry; there are string tables where each string is null terminated, and then an extra null indicates the end of the table. e.g.

foo<NUL>bar<NUL><NUL>

This is an empty table containing no strings:

<NUL>

This is a table with one empty string:

<NUL><NUL>

This looks like it should extend to more dimensions with more NULs: record, table, group, file, ...

The long-winded point here is that your fictitious blogger trying to write about the scheme in all likelihood will not have any luck embedding literal NULs into their article, so we are are safe.
That’s too bad, I wish it were true, it’s such a great story!
So "tank" is just a weasel word that poorly translates between cultures and languages. But "Main Battle Tank" translates correctly.

A German Flakpanzer could be called a "German Panzer", and you can translate that to mean "German Tank" in one sense, but a Flakpanzer is NOT what the USA would ever call a tank.

But if we start with the term "Main Battle Tank", or "MBT" instead, then no, the Flakpanzer is NOT a MBT. The German MBT is the Leopard 2.

So MBT is the more technical and proper term.
Deletionists claim that only non notable articles get removed, yet a couple months ago I encountered someone wanting to delete the article on DokuWiki.

DOKUWIKI!

Someone had a spreadsheet full of links talking about DokuWiki that were poo pooed because the articles didn't have someone claiming to have an editor on them, the fact that a 2018 book was written on DokuWiki wasn't enough, nor was the 80 page views per day average usage of the page.

The thing that saved the second most popular wiki software aside from mediawiki itself were additional comments about references to DW in other books, as well as one of the original deletist voters withdrawing in order to avoid some sort of sealioning potential optics, something I can't fully follow but seems only tangentially related.

"Across the board, the raters Yahoo Finance spoke to worry about waking up to a pink-slip-email, and two said they know of instances where people haven’t received an email at all — the worker’s account was just deactivated. "

This is some Kafka-esque shit. Unreal.
You didn't answer his question, and your source doesn't either. Where is Due Process? The memo written by the killers tries to claim Due Process isn't relevant because of a ruling on a case on a battlefield, in the heat of an actual battle. Except this wasn't a battle, nor on a battlefield. So, the memo is once again just the guilty party trying to exonerate themselves.

You know that none of this is new, you're not shedding light on anything. You're just trying to carry water for the same people who hold prisoners in Guantanamo indefinitely. There is not a Constitutional basis for it, and everybody understands that.

Just call it what it is, you're not fooling anybody and they're clearly not going to face justice for it so it doesn't matter. But everybody knows what was done.

Fed balance sheet is about $9 trillion.

This article gives details on $5 trillion in government stimulus.

To put those numbers in perspective, the market cap of the entire S&P 500 is about $40 trillion.

I hear what you’re saying about supply-side inflation but you don’t think flooding the economy with so much unearned money might be driving up demand a bit?

A beach town near me, I paid $4,000 for a week to stay there two years ago. This year, an equivalent house is $15,000 per week. So now I’m driving six hours away to get a house for $10,000 per week.

When people make $20,000 per month in stock market/cryptocurrency gains, it starts driving up demand for everything dramatically.
I moved from Sumatra to okular because the latter has more features and is not perceptibly slower.
I'd be interested in seeing it perform in real world situations, specifically with respect to horizontally and vertically polarized light. I can see why they avoided it in the study, using circularly polarized light, but in the real world, it could be very helpful to the owner to help in navigation, as the polarization of the sky is anisotropic.

PS: You can manually create light fields. Take multiple photos of the same subject from slightly different locations. Then use hugin (the panorama stitching program) to align them on a given region, and merge them together. You can create a virtual focus plane of your choice.

Thanks for the reply. I work both at home and at the office and I have separate workstations I keep sync'd. I also have a personal desktop computer and travel work laptop. A dongle sucks because I'd always having to be moving between computers and guaranteed I'll forget it one place, while I'm at another. The different computers run different OS, so I can do a universal sync like with apple. So I need to get creds on each computer in a way that its secure and can not be erased if I clear browser storage (unless I want that).

Sorry, but that just isn't true. Solutions have existed for years [1], but enterprises just weren't interested.

> point to the weekend as a lovely innovation powered by unions.

No, this is powered by the law. If it wasn’t the evaporation of unions that we’ve seen over the last 20 years would have taken weekends with them.

A thing unions were supportive of in the past is not evidence of the value of unions now.

It’s like pointing out the importance of American troops in France because world war 2.
There has never been any expectation of privacy on a public motorway in my lifetime. Cops could always literally pull you over and peer into your vehicle with a flashlight on the vague grounds of being suspicious. Nowadays there's the rising popularity of things like dash cams.

Public roads are an area where safety absolutely pummelled privacy in the war between the two values.

Good point and 10% is low. Let’s say you are in Bay Area and 1 hour commute each way - so 2 hours a day.

Even if you put in 10 hours at the office it’s still 20% lost time in the commute. 20% is a lot of your “working time” to be non-productive. And that is not quality time - that is stressful time that leads to burn out over time.

A RTO concept should factor this in. RTO for many people means working more and the employer getting less of your brains best output. It is a loss/loss. Why would either side of the equation wants this?

My team is fully WFH - 700 people globally - and the only time anyone is required to come into the office is when a job task can not be done remotely.

We’ve also reduced our office footprint 70% in the process; with the savings going to a WFH monthly stipend. We also arrange two social events a month to keep the in person connections alive; with numerous smaller groups having TGIF’s or other sorts of activity clubs.

Regus membership has given all the WFH folks a place to grab an office if they need to get out of the house for whatever reason.

To get over the “are my employees slacking off?” We’ve put in a simple peer review system that is working well:

1) If you are assembling a team for a very challenging and demanding project who are your top 5 choices?

2) If you could give out a spot bonus who would you give it to and why?

3) Is there anyone you feel should be reduced from your team and why (optional)?

This was bumpy as hell to get rolling but now working well. And yes, Q2 does drive quarterly spot bonuses based on responses.

I left a job over open office plans. I really hate it. And I am one of those tech + social people too. Like having people nearby.

But the distractions are everywhere. It is hard to flow. It is hard to have a phone call with a prospect or customer. Things get moved, borrowed, lost.

But mostly I hate it because everytime I have seen open plan, the people who set it up have big offices with windows looking out at the people they screwed over and seek to ultra micro manage. (And this is exactly what happened at the company I left)

"I saw you doing that, why?"

"How come you wander around several times a day?"

"Your desk is a mess"

And so it goes. Nope. Do not have time for that. Happy to work elsewhere or make less, whatever.

Anyway, they announced, I counter announced, and then was out before the move. They lost a few people, and that company was sold a while back.

Now pretty much everyone doing that work has a new email and works mostly from home! New owners saw no need for a group office scenario and has small teams all over the place. Given the nature of the work, that makes a ton of sense.

Funny how things can work.

Having talked with the old owner after all this went down, the real reasons were to save money and manage people and their relationships. Profound lack of trust.
I personally know three people who have had their catalytic converters stolen in the last two months. I hope there's an exception for trying to get back home after some degenerate has stolen $600 of palladium off your exhaust system!

Lazarus is a cross platform and open source GUI builder based on Free Pascal. If you can handle begin and end instead of { }, you'll get used to it fairly quickly. As a bonus, it does strings that you never have to allocate or deallocate, and can handle a gigabyte of data.

I've run Lazarus on a Raspberry Pi Zero W (the old one), Linux, and Windows.
Yes, vscode is not even close to as good at keeping the user's hands on the home row.

Especially in biosciences. But it’s probably the case that the hardware that Apple produces don’t use fancier methods such as DL/RL that much and depend on more traditional methods. You need capable GPUs for the state of the art stuff (e.g. DLSS by Nvidia).
To be fairer, poetry like many other arts is highly subjective. The difference between a good poem and a bad one may have more to do with comparisons between other works at a given point in time than it does with any sort of "ideal poem".

Same thing going on with dalle-2. Hell, even formal mathematics has trouble justifying "why" a particular problem is worth solving.

I think people take into account the author, their sincerity, their experience, and how those words personally make the reader feel. This is the same reason I love Radiohead but would probably hate a Radiohead knockoff made by some AI. It's more about the people in the band and whether or not I relate with their message than it is about whether or not they are objectively good to listen to (they aren't, many people hate that band).

I've never seen Tolstoy's attempt at a such definition before, but from what you describe, it reminds me of what Joyce had Stephen Daedalus think about art (I wonder if it was informed at all by Tolstoy).

As I recall it, the idea is that art starts with an unmitigated cry which is then made abstract, universal, in some way. I see no way for this to occur without some technical prowess, however.

One can surely be a noble and delight in the way in which the peasants and serfs conduct their culture. But to surmise that their art was artless (i.e. without τέχνη) seems foolish and makes me think there must be more to it than what you've suggested in your comment. Otherwise, were I to throw a fit in the street, that would qualify as art; but were I to do it in hexameter, that would not be art.

I think you are in essence right about what you're arguing, however. No cry comes from a machine, after all.
