It is because (some) people believe/have faith in Musk. To some, he is a icon/leader to follow blindly. They trust him a lot.

Which is because, his work/impact as ceo is visible on company and industry levels. contrast that with mba shortsighted ceos and/or ceos who sit on their assess waiting for golden parachute to deploy (thats the sentiment, irrelevant if unfounded). Charisma and beeing somewhat casual/releatable person on tv also helps.
Also, hours of daylight in winter is a factor. I was in Reykjavik for Christmas once and there was about 4 hours of sunlight each day. It confuses the body.
Exactly! Great analogy.

This suggests that we need to look into the engineering details of a building (or peg arrangement) to determine whether we can trust it, instead of just declaring all building (or all pegs) 'nonsense'.

I end up answering lots of random questions for my coworkers (knowledge transfer-type stuff that hasn't been documented because the company was small before 2020) and having a block of meetings sucks because then I may not get to reply to a question for a while.

And I can say from the other side, I hate waiting 1 or 2 hours for my managers or non-manager Schelling point people to get out of meetings so I can ask them a 5-minute question.
I used to work in car sales in the bay area. Basically every car salesman and every mechanic at a franchise car dealership owns a home. Maybe they drive 30-75 minutes to work, but they are 25-35 and own a home in California. The older ones own a home within 15 minutes of their job.
I have kids, 2 boys, the author failed to explain if she has kids or not. I believe the overprotective reason is valid. It's very common to hear about child trafficking, kidnapping and missing kids. The reality is that this exists and we need to accept it first. If there is a probability of something happening to your kid, you want to take all measures possible to avoid it, at the end they are the most vulnerable people in our society which we need to defend & protect at all costs. I agree with security at school that there is no reason to observe kids for joy, i would see them and continue my way, just the thought of it seems creepy.
It's odd that what you got from my analogy was "this is a neighborly dispute".

Do you disagree with that?

That's a very vague and over generalized statement of "mental illness". There's many kinds and causes, a lot of treatments that don't work, and a lot of people whom think they have the crystal ball. Studies are done precisely to remove fallacious logic and isolate variables. If we were to make entire judgements based off of what we immediately see them we can make anything sound reasonable.

This is just another performative act of a politician pandering to right-wing extremists.

If politicians were really against businesses getting political they would ban corporate campaign donations and political funding contributions.

Here are some companies who got political by funding Josh Hawley's election campaign: Jones Financial Companies, Diamond Pet Foods, Hunter Engineering, Orscheln Group, Hallmark Cards, Bayer AG, Charles Schwab Corp, and Russell Stover Candies.

But that's contradictory to your claim that Twitter is

What? It's not contradictory in the slightest.

Nobody is claiming that Twitter would somehow magically somehow continue "be what you want it to be" if most of the quality contributors leave.

Because Twitter _isn't_ what you claim it is.
Twitter is optimized for outrage-oriented engagement.

I have a few accounts and I simply don't see what you describe.

I don't follow or engage with controversial crap. My follows are people in my hobbies, and funny people. My feed is pretty close to 100% strife-free.

Either it's really easy to avoid the hellscape of outrage that you describe or I'm extremely lucky/talented.
How did they add to the banks difficulties? My understanding is the BOL tried to maintain the exchange rate. Speculators bet they couldn't do it.

If the speculators had never made their bets the exchange rate still would have collapsed because foreign banks were selling their GBP far faster than the BOL could buy it (or had the capacity to buy).
Agreed, RAM usage may be slightly elevated during the switch. But it doesn’t seem to be a big issue in practice. nginx for example is updating itself like this and it works fine.
> We’ll ignore any other weather characteristics like humidity, rain, wind, diurnal temperature difference, etc.

Ha! So basically you're ignoring most of what weather is. I'm surprised Amsterdam (my current location) didn't end on top. I mean if you ignore the rain and the wind (and the sunshine hours) it's actually not that bad...
>Also USB can do analog audio supposedly...

That's how the USB-C to 3.5mm adapters work for if you need to use headpones which don't have a USB-C cable.
Yes but they influence the curve too. I don't think the phasing out of 3.5mm jacks was inevitable - if Apple kept them so would have every other company!

As long as the guys who issue the token have sufficient assets to redeem them, and regularly redeem them to any comer, I don't see much of a problem.

If there's oak and pigeons involved, that doesn't change much---apart from being might inconvenient.

The problem algorithmic stable coins is that the backing is either non-existent or at best really suspect.

Tether is a bit better in that they at least claim to have real world backing, but they don't tell you what it is, so you can't trust it.

Btw, the backing for a token denominated in USD doesn't have to be USD.

Eg most banks back their deposits with all kinds of assets and bonds, not just physical cash (or balanced at the Fed).

Having a few reserves in USD on hand is important, but in the longer run it's more important that the worth of your backing assets is reliably higher than your liabilities. The difference between the two is your equity cushion.

Large dense cities in certain parts of Europe and east Asia don’t face these issues (and even then, there isn’t really the same concept of large and dense in most of Europe), but I would say chaotic unfriendly cities are the default in most of the world. In a sense, many American cities act as a bridge between these two worlds. It also doesn’t help that you can fall much farther in the US than other places before anyone even begins to notice.

Brah you're not even allowed to know who called CPS on you. It's anonymous and it's illegal for them to tell you the identity of the caller.

Not only are there no consequences, but the system is set up to ensure that one can make any accusation they like, that CPS will be administratively required to investigate it, and that the pain will always be asymmetric. Also CPS investigations typically aren't 'criminal' investigations so it's doubtful you could argue that any false accusations as 'falsely reporting a crime.' You may be told that it's not a criminal but child welfare case.

It's practically the perfect system for a vindictive neighbor / ex-spouse / whatever.

Background: MFA in Creative Writing is a degree taken by aspiring novelists. MFA stands for Master of Fine Arts (and not multi-factor auth ;-)). Poetry, fiction, novels, personal essays, and non-fiction are all sub-genres, but I think they are discussing creative writing in general.

The essay and the linked essays together seem to say the following:

Master of Fine Arts (Creative Writing seems to be the topic under discussion) [MFA] is a degree of the privileged.

A majority of those who graduate with an MFA, end up teaching MFA courses.

Those who teach, try to publish more via friendly publishers (university/independent). Pressure to publish for tenure. Quantity over quality.

Compares NYC writers vs writers who have MFA. NYC good. MFA graduate bad. (My thought: What about the rest of us who are not from NYC and have not taken an MFA?)
Yes, Bogota is more much larger, more polluted, worse traffic, colder and at a high altitude (Medellin is about 1500m, Bogota 2600m).

I think the web is less chaotic now. I was extremely chaotic early on, and it was great and terrible. You had niches for everything, style was all over the place, people made things efficient in interesting ways and, of course, there were scams and spam and trash and bling.

Now the web most people 'see' is fairly standardised and curated. I mean, try searching for a good forum on a specific topic now; you get wordpress/medium blogs or a link to Discord/Twitter/FB. A lot of the unique and niche 'group interests' are now within the walled gardens of Facebook (+Instagram) and Twitter or Discord, which are basically not searchable from a general search engine query. Or they're in Reddit, the uber-forum that's at least still searchable. I think that's a problem.

I think there's a subtle issue here you've almost hit by 'people just chase the money into oblivion,' and I think it's this: they don't quite understand or appreciate the value their 'product' creates and the audience it is for. So they chase 'monetisation' as its own reward - ads, dark patterns, trying to reach an ever 'broader audience.' Which becomes much easier to compete against and they lost not just customer base but loyalty and recognition.
Yeah I think no question San Diego has the best weather of CA, followed by maybe Santa Barbara. South Bay LA (on the coast, not to be confused with South Bay, Bay area) is also usually really great and consistent year-round but if you go inland at all the weather can be dramatically different.
Absolutely unwise. Ask anyone who has been the victim of malicious prosecution after someone made false accusations against them. If it is one person’s word against the other, discrimination wins the day. Every time.
> Allowing for trailing commas should get included in the SQL spec

Not just SQL, trailing commas are stupidly useful and convenient, so as far as I'm concerned every language should have them. To be fair, a decent amount of them have implemented them (I was pleasantly surprised by GCC C), but there are still notable holdouts (JSON!).

Regarding chemicals' sensitivity to light, heat, sound, it is worth contemplating that there must be a chemical pathway that translates mechanical pressure however delicate to nerve impulses or we wouldn't have a sense of touch. Our sense of hearing is likewise dependent on precise indirect mechanical sensation of vibration in a range of frequencies.

The Rube Goldberg chain reaction that turns minute variations in pressure upon skin into an interpretable sensation of texture is mind-blowingly difficult to imagine.
> It also seems weird for Musk to already have the insight into the company to know specifically who to fire

If in his viewpoint (he wouldn't be alone thinking so) Twitter recently became less appealing - booting the Lead of Consumer Product team seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Despite "we know he'll be gone" Parag may as well want to try to keep his chair when Elon takes over and is making changes that would be favored by the new leadership. And if the deal doesn't pass - firing the team leads (possibly) responsible for company's recent bad press and maybe Elon's move itself seems justified.

How do you manage to move 8 other people's schedules around such that you get these blocks of time?

The way I do it is to block out 4 hours in the afternoon in my calendar as "Focus Time" that people aren't allowed to touch, and let people schedule me into meetings any time other than that. If all the devs on a team do it then the meetings they're required in just naturally gravitate to being shorter ones in the morning with fewer gaps.

I'm quite fortunate in the sense that the company I work in operates as a 'sociocracy' (https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy/) so teams do actually get to define that this sort of thing is acceptable. In other companies it might be a harder sell, but most managers I've worked with do understand that there's other work to do besides meetings so they're usually open to talking about how to do better as a team. Especially if their bonus is related to performance.

Even if they're not open to talking about it, you can always raise it in every single retro for months until someone starts getting annoyed enough to fix it.
These "look at this trash house you can buy for $X" articles seem so disingenuous. Everybody knows you're just paying for the land/location.

Exactly. Google Calendar even has a specific category for it.
Are leading commas allowed? Because otherwise, you've just traded out the inability to comment out the last element for the inability to comment out the first. I never understood this convention.
No meeting days are the way. I advocated for a no meeting day in one of my workplaces and our director agreed to try it out. We called them "Developer Days" and he'd block off the entire day on everyone's calendar and enforce to anyone outside the team we simply were not available those days. Worked so well we ended up adding a second Developer Day!

And meetings become more productive too since we batched those up into the other days and could focus on the meeting instead of context switching between talking with people and talking with a computer.

Put meetings on your own calendar to block out chunks of time. People will see the conflict and look for a better time.
This happened to me last year. It was incredibly difficult working my way back up but I have been working a job since a year and am out of debt.

The grief/toll will take time to go away. Mine has still not gone away but it gets better as time passes. Suggest that you seek help for this with a professional therapist. Meet new people and have different experiences. That helps a lot.

Pretty crazy story. That dragon mechanic which brought up a 20 year old serverwide honor code of not ruining the game by defeating the final boss.

Stanley is my all time favourite, but you’re forced to use expensive, unusably slow satellite internet, so it’s no place for a technologist to live.

That's why you have weekly or monthly updates, depending on the org.

One of the biggest issues is devs not giving feedback enough, a lot of it is based on personality. There's no point in having a meeting and forcing people to give feedback though.
I've thought about this a lot. The totally unscientific conclusive I've come to is that it isn't about scale per- se but about the money and greed that tends to come with that scale.

As Acton once said[1], "absolute power corrupts absolutely".

There's something to be said for small, and there's something to be said for niche too.

I absolutely agree that meetings should not be any longer than necessary. Declining any meeting that doesn't have a defined agenda and goal should be acceptable too.

You can stretch a window across multiple monitors if you uncheck “displays have separate spaces” in mission control settings. It fixes most of the problems in this post.

I run five monitors at 4k 60Hz every day with my max spec mbp. Four are portrait and two are landscape. (One portrait is DisplayLink usb) I actually have six monitors. One is split with an active HDMI splitter.

I definitely have trouble sometimes but the M1 is actually a lot better than the intel mbp because changes to settings are near instant.

Most of the time it just works.

Tricks I’ve learned:

1. Always plug the monitors in the same ports.

2. Lock the screen, then unplug monitors to keep your windows arranged.

3. I use SwitchResX to save and restore my monitor positions. Its not 100% reliable but it gets things mostly arranged and a few rotation tweaks in settings gets everything fixed.

4. It helps to have monitors of distinct models. When I have multiple of the same model and those are the ones that have problems getting rotation swapped.
