Just yesterday I was trying to figure out how to trigger my smart LED lights to turn on when the Echo Show detects movement. Doesn’t seem like it’s possible though and I thought it might be because of potential fallout if Amazons own product is used to trigger a device to deleterious effect.
With a long enough time horizon, the GP consideration ("If we continue to grow GDP (~energy consumption) at about 1%/y, we’ll boil oceans in 400 years.") will still come true even if expanding in space. A sphere expanding around earth at the speed of light grows quadratically in the outer boundary and cubically in volume, and will be overcome eventually by any exponent > 1.

I'm pretty convinced that increasing human activity so much to increase the background radiation to 373K is never going to happen, the point is more that any exponential energy growth eventually can't continue.

In a way though it's already happening, the GDP ~ energy consumption equivalence from the GP assumption does not hold (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.GDP.PUSE.KO.PP). We'll just keep inventing ways for the GDP number to keep growing exponentially in questionable ways for the system to keep going, until we can't anymore.

Powershell runs on Linux and macos too because of .NET Core/5+. The real reason is likely the same sort of people that are still typing Micro$oft in <current year> and keep spreading FUD that .NET isn't OS.
Wow it has an active comment section - very interesting link!
It’s been pre-sherlocked. The feature exists, only with different sounds (doorbell, barking, fire alarm etc.) I don’t know why this fact isn’t acknowledged (as far as I can see). For those users unaware of the native features, it’s a disservice. And for those that know, it leaves them wondering how the two interact, and if it isn’t maybe a little petty not to mention it.
Top this. Not happened with Google, but for Meta services it works. I was locked out of my Facebook and Instagram on different occasions. They just worked the next day.

Sure, but since one of those partners is a homeless charity, it means "you can have a bank account whilst homeless" which is potentially a big deal to a homeless person trying to save some money.

...and that's precisely the reason I asked the question

> Many times in my live I have started a casual conversation with someone at work and this lead to discussion about current work-related software topics and I was able to share some opinions with someone.

This sounds like general information sharing amongst coworkers. The way you phrased the comment made it seem like there was something specific you were referring to pertaining to newcomers/junior devs.

I agree with your point that you have less airtime to share your general thoughts about interesting things in a remote setting. I do agree with your general point and have experienced that too. Just observing more certain people equivocate about a topic is inspiring and that helps to learn more.
France resident here, anecdotal evidence, but Paris (and IDF) companies tend to only accept +100% match (close to 100% requirements + big chunk of the "nice to haves") for remote positions. If you miss anything from their stack they just pick someone else since the pool is much bigger. If you live in IDF they seem to care less about you being a perfect fit.
For me, it's lunch breaks and coffee machine chit-chat. Just by talking to your colleagues daily and meeting people you'd usually never work with you get a lot of knowledge transfer - they talk about problems they need to solve, interesting challenges or just hobbies. You can also do after hour events on Zoom, but it's just not the same relaxed atmosphere as in the office and it nearly never happens randomly.
Well done!

@pojntfx what do you think about that? Feasible with your implementation?

I've been playing with such functionality in Netbird but since it depends on Wireguard it is a bit tricky :)

I agree with both of these hot takes…

I love a hybrid approach because I really enjoy the random conversations that crop up in the office… but my social life is so much improved outside of work in the last year or so that everything about physically being present feels tedious.

I have a coworker I call to talk shop for a few minutes and then bullshit for another 15-20 minutes almost daily when I’m wfh.

I’m very strongly considering asking my boss if my in-office/wfh ratio can switch from 3/2 to “whatever I want”

Better social life makes work feel like work. My drive to get stuff done has gone up, because I’ve gotta get out at a good time.
What problem is it solving—besides evading governments and their laws/regulations—that can't be solved just as well or better without it?

Please could you inform me how you would build a form that creates, lets say a secondary loan for a company with attached assets. The assets could be zero, or many.

How would you create this form without Javascript? Would you require a user to create the assets before the loan?

Saying that HTML provides everything a developer needs to provide an application to client is so ridiculous, I have no idea why this sentiment is so popular. the vitriol expressed for front end devs from the community seems out of place.

Forms work without JS for the most basic baby forms. the moment you go enterprise, more is needed. which is where JS steps in, What am I missing here?

Agreed, it is great when it works. I don't miss it though, many times in the past, it has been some "senior" dev high on his own stimulant supply dominating the conversation for the entire lunch, not letting anyone else get a word in edgewise. Either that, or it is the same 3 people talking about things that interest them, completely ignoring the rest of the people while the others just eat their lunch and observe.
As far as I know there is no legal way to be a digital nomad.

What exactly are the principles violated?

Confiscation and freezing of assets are standard and necessary tools in crime fighting in the West. To freeze assets, rather than confiscate for good, you typically only need a substantial suspicion of a crime, not a court order - which again is necessary.

This here is very similar. It is beyond doubt that Russia invaded a peaceful neighbour, likely it is committing atrocities. Various international courts are investigating these atrocities, with full legal process. The only immediate forum that could sanction Russia is the UN where Russia has a veto, and a massive majority of UN members, by count, population and GDP, condemned Russia in a separate resolution.

These sanctions also didn’t come out of nowhere. Russia was warned as nauseam that the will come if Russia will invade. And they came gradually, giving Russia a chance to back off.

Any country evaluating whether they are at risk of sanctions has to answer to itself: will I be pig-headedly invading a NATO partner with no regard for human rights and due diplomatic process after being repeatedly warned to not do so, and against a massive majority of UN members? If yes, hmm well better store reserves in crypto. Or CNY - China surely wouldn’t use their currency as leverage.

The only law under which these sanctions look questionable is the Russian one: I see, I take, none of your business.

Which illustrates the real point: "what we have to give them" is debt. Can we grow debt from this point forward?

In the short term: I don't see what the problem is with growing debt at this point.

Oh and, btw, the FED will never repay its balance sheet. It's just not going to happen, ever, under any circumstances.

Which gets me to my, seemingly rather unique, position: this is not a financial crisis (at least not yet). There's problems yes, but there's also a lot of money to solve them. Which means they will get solved, quickly. And just because we're recovering from the mother of all supply crunches and the numbers are going down to readjust, we see a lot of models crying "recession". There is no real recession. There's a recession in money paid for things. There's no recession in physical goods being distributed, quite the opposite. People aren't suddenly vastly more indebted (like in 2008) than they can be.

There was such a big problem with supply and demand that when we all collectively decided to take away to artificial roadblocks, which turned out to be the point some idiot Russian decides to use to ... and supply and demand had such a big and such a wide ranging adjustment to make that it took the the law of supply and demand ~12-18 months to adjust prices, of which some 6-8 months are still in the future. Now supplier prices are adjusting down, not for housing, not for finance, but for everything else, and everybody cries recession. Wrong. Supply just shot through the roof and demand is actually rising. The same refrain is seen everywhere. Prices for X ROCKETED up, and are coming back down rather quickly. Take your pick cars, flights, food, chips, ... There are confusing factors, such as with housing: people have been using SUBSIDISED money for housing and this is being wound down, people are getting kicked out of the housing they're in. So ... lots of complaints. But this is actually an indication, of course, of too much demand, not too little. Too much demand, too much people yelling here's money, now give me ... This shouldn't lead to a recession!

Of course my problem is ... I'm "fighting the FED". The FED disagrees with me. Of course. I'm fighting JUST the Fed at this point. I'm still on the side of the ECB, BOJ and PBOC ...
I would love to but I can’t exactly live stream my companies codebase!

Furthermore, the post-2014 sanctions did actually bite quite hard. They weren’t designed to obliterate, rather to discourage further action. And they would have done, had Russia acted reasonably.
The need for an address is incredibly outdated imo. Not just for banking but for anything. It's the equivalent of when places used to want to to give a home landline number.

I think there needs to be more discussion about how we move away from addresses to some other kind of basis for taxation, education, health, etc (not blockchain), a real answer that lets me declare my residency on the highest territorial level possible and transact electronically or to a physical location I pick
> The decentralisation of crypto currencies is great (i.e. there's no central bank that can devalue its currency to prop up their national economy

Why? The "economy" isn't something abstract, everyone participates in it. Yes, losing money through inflation sucks, but losing your job due to an economic crisis sucks even more. Some central banks are downright inept ( Turkey) but in those cases it's not just them, it's the whole government, which is ruining the economy through other means as well, so even having the money as independent from their influence wouldn't be of huge help because their ineptitude will show up in other places.
I would summarize your comment as “just give me the money and don’t bother me.” Easy to say that when stronger people than you have put up just with the things that your delicate character is unwilling to put up with, to build great thriving businesses and afford people like you the luxury of WFH. I say ‘grow up’! Face those aspect of the office work that brother you. Became a stronger person. Be more courageous. Our society does not need more incels working from home because ‘they don’t like the person sitting next to them’. Don’t be a leech on society. Get out and contribute.

I do think this mirrors my office’s original logic for returning but they almost immediately became more flexible.

At one point, returning to the office wasn’t mandatory but “good for our promotions etc”.

When I’m in office few if any people actually give me marching orders… and when they do, I push back, correct them, and continue what I was doing. (We aren’t great at project management and my position luckily allows for this)
Call it the "willing to get my wallet out" amount. People willing to spend any money for something will be willing to spend $5-6, at minimum. Charging only $2 is just leaving money on the table.
I've always found system design interviews to be a bit... weird. Designing a complex system generally takes at least a few days (at smaller places) up to weeks or months at larger places. In addition, the solutions always seem to be biased towards solutions that fit with existing technology/knowledge (which is good).

It's not very easy to encapsulate domain knowledge and research heavy questions into a small interview slot so some of these can feel quite contrived.

No you don't, where did you get this idea from? If you're referring to the EU tax residency logic, then that's based on where you spend the majority of your time, as well as where you have significant connections. Time alone isn't even the deciding factor. If we ignore the other factors for a moment, six months doesn't have any importance here either. You can live in 12 different countries in a year, a month at each if you'd like, for example. Your tax residency will be based on where you spent the most time between all those and then all the other additional factors.

Enough time has passed. I've seen enough. They are simply scams. They will never deliver and they have no place in my news feed.
I don’t even understand what we’re comparing here. Is it lines of code? In that case, you must include all of the code from tr, sort, and any other shell commands used to perform the task at hand. By that standard, Knuth still wins by a long shot. Were this an actual coding contest (if such things exist anymore), one does not simply argue that instead of coding the solution in the given language, I’m going to just use five other people’s solutions and claim my trophy. Had the argument been who could most efficiently reuse all of the resources of an operating system to produce the laziest solution that will likely produce the highest number of obscure edge cases in the future, create unexpected dependencies, and likely scale the worst, then perhaps the shell script wins. But I think Knuth was trying to demonstrate quite the opposite - good coding praxis that can be maintainable, debuggable, and made to scale. I guess what I’m saying is that it’s difficult to see any comparison here, whatsoever, since the purposes were so markedly different. The shell script is not a solution any professional would ship in a product, and would only appeal to lazy one off tasks. Who would have been daft enough firstly, to not read Knuth’s paper, but secondly to think there is anything worth comparing in the first place? The script might be the quickest solution. Knuth’s code is the proper solution.
There is a very neat implementation of a TURN from Pion

Meanwhile Knuth's compiler techniques volume of TAOCP will be published when he is 145 years old?

We'd never get anything done if we programmed like Knuth. You can do good literate programming but you have to be living in a truly slow world to do it like Knuth does.
> the "nothing at stake" issue inherent to proof-of-stake systems

The "nothing at stake" problem was inherent to proof-of-stake more than six years ago. It has, since then, been solved on Ethereum (and Polkadot) with Slasher, which is a penalizing system that burns (a portion) of the stake of malevolent actors, and then kicks them off the consensus layer.

Ethereum's consensus layer has been live for 1.5 years now, and there have been 175 slashing events during that time [1]. Some have been misconfigurations by small pools, others have been caused by users running their keys twice on two different machines (causing double attestations and double block proposals).

> Bitcoin alone is "worth" perhaps a trillion dollars, while M1 is around 20 trillion.

You can't compare the liquidity of M1 with the liquidity of BTC. M1 USD is accepted everywhere, ranging from a 300M apartment on NYC's Billionaire's Row to a banana stand in Madagascar.

If you believe that BTC would get to that level of acceptance then it's still the early days.

Honestly after looking under the hood the technical part of it seems like a solution on search for a problem, unless the problem you aim to solve is wealth redistribution with the same GINI index (or even higher given the concetration of wealth in the ecosystem).

Similarly the social aspect of decentralization is a really hard sell when you have Satoshi sitting on 30B and Buterin sitting on 15B and they hold so much power.

Sounds like a lot of cultural issues. My pre-covid job was a very small company but similar stuff.

We hired an in-town workforce and cut the old guard out completely. Worked in person everyday until lockdown but had flexibility as well.

We were all pretty close (10ish people including execs) so remote work was fine and we shut down the office… I’m a much bigger remote work fan now because of how well it went.

The people on the same page will be on the same page whether they’re waking through the park or not. It may be time for the others to move along.
I guess at this point our issue is that the EU represents a great many different forms of international integration, from economic, to political, covering immigration, economic policy, monetary policy, policing, civil rights, food policy etc etc

The EU is assumed so many responsibilities over time that it’s difficult to talk about the EU as whole in a meaningful sense. You need to break down each aspect of integration that’s been built around it, as assess each policy on its own merits. When you start doing that, it quickly becomes apparent that some aspects of the EU work incredibly well, but other aspects have failed, sometimes catastrophically.

Personally I think the EU has been a rather grand, if lumpy, success so far, and I’m keen to see it continue growing. With it the merging of national identities across the EU into single European identity, with many nuanced sub-cultures.

> A trade and customs union with relatively free movement (but not fully) would be 'better' than the EU

On specific point. The EU has got a lot of flak in the UK for freedom of movement, usually focused on the stereotypical “Polish plumber”. It worth mentioning this was a self-inflicted pain by the UK. The EU gave all existing countries the right to limit immigration from the new joined eastern states, with 5 year ramp up period toward full freedom of movement. The UK opt-ed out, and decided for full freedom of movement from day 0, most other EU countries limited freedom of movement to prevent large economic migration. So all the limits on immigration the EU supposedly prevented the UK from implementing, were an completely legal option for the UK, it deliberately decided not to exercise them. Further proof that the EU has never prevented the UK from reducing immigration, is the fact that net immigration has fallen since Brexit.
