In Germany pretty much every dentist will recommend you a "profesionelle Zahnreinigung" (professional tooth cleaning), and if you lookup what studies exist to show that it does any good, there's only one study that's basically useless (they tested a combination of the professional tooth cleaning and a lecture on proper self tooth cleaning and showed that this helps, so in the end you know one of those or a combination helps, but you don't know which one). So yeah, this is pretty much a problem in Europe, too.
I bought a PinePhone along with the keyboard case to muck around on as well.

Initially, I got no response from the keyboard so I started reading up about it. The first think I found is that when you've got the phone attached to the keyboard, you mustn't use the phone socket for charging as it can fry the electronics (something about the charger chip in the keyboard, I believe) - only use the keyboard socket for charging when connected.

Then, after worrying about whether I'd fried a brand new device, I discovered that after a software update, the keyboard suddenly started working. However, the top row of keys weren't working well and required a stern press for them to activate, so I hit the forums again looking for a solution. Some people were making shims for the top row of keys, but then I found a post going into detail as to why the keys had trouble activating. Apparently, the rubber doesn't have enough room to squish down, so an easy solution (if you have a dremel) is to remove the top row keycaps and remove a mm of material from the top edge of each keys (the side nearest the hinge). Took me about ten minutes and now they work perfectly.

Still haven't found a good use case for it though as the screen is short and wide so not great for terminal hacking.
Because his opinion is supported by the status quo (crappy cameras everywhere).

My anecdata says the same. In most video confs your video is put up on maybe 1/16th of the screen, to the corner, and people generally share something like a presentation. I guess if you're in sales, it matters more since your face will be fullscreen.

But even then... most people don't work in shiny offices anymore, are you sure you want to display your dirty socks on the shelf in the back in all their 8k glory? :-D
It's also been more than a year since these events and OP just registered the domain three days ago. Reading quoted chats in addition to the OPs statement "At this point these conversations felt so weird that I started screenshotting the strangest ones" makes me think they are still holding onto these screenshots. I think it's time to move on.

If all you ever do is run away from your problems then all you leave behind you is a trail of problems.
Sorry, "plural"? I don't know what this means, and I feel like I am probably not the only one.
I don't think that necessarily contradicts what the author is saying. Even you describe how these top 10% performers are often underpaid, so in some areas (getting noticed, managing office politics, switching companies to get pay rises) they seemingly "don't know what they're doing". A lot of people are brilliant in one particular area and at the same time fail basic life tasks, even though to someone from the outside it looks as if they've got everything figured out.
I see, at first it is air filled, and gradually as the pressure mounts with the CH4 content, you pass the lower explosive limit(at which it can function as a 'bomb') - time goes by - and you pass the higher explosive limit(at which point it can not propagate an explosion front - safe at last).
Unless this was well controlled/monitored - I would tend to be averse to such a potential poop explosion. Even a small one would place a coating of poop, bacteria, degradation products over all surfaces - you as well!.
How often do these poop 'pops' occur in China/India? Methane is one of the worst greenhouse gasses, over 25 times as bad as CO2 in terms of heat trapping.
Do they build them with purpose built rupturable membranes or a diesel exhaust flapper valve? Or do they pipe them to a central gas storage system - like our house gas in reverse.

All retrograde steps, all roads must lead to electricity by sun/wind/geo/sea/etc as soon as possible. We need to heat/cool/drive/fly/cook/etc with electric power alone at the same time. No more coal/gas/oil/trash wasted for heat/electricity/drive/fly/cook or we will face inexorable mounting climate extremes to the point where the sea is ~~ 300 feet deeper and all former sea ports are under 300 feet of water.
I suggest buy inland dwelling sites on the 300 foot aquacline so your heirs will be enriched - those that survive it??
The manager however, is in a position of power over the employee, especially a contractor, and as such they should be held to a much higher standard.
I suspect there's a point under all this but I don't have any confidence I've understood it. I get goblins are bad but are gnomes good or not? Where's the halflings and kobolds?

I advocate "dragon mode". Find a defensible place, keeps what's precious to you there; burn the solicitors and anyone who looks tasty.

That's beautiful.

To be fair, and are we not all about being fair around here, he explicitly states:

> Not publishing one sentence per line, no. Write like this for your eyes only.

On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that there should be no spillage between how you write and how you publish. For example, I found "How to live" unreadable partly because of what I suspect this style of writing did to the published product.

I generally agree with the article, however it reminds me of what my algorithmic competition mentor once said:

“So you know who java developer is? Someone who doesn’t know Java”.

While the emphasis was not on Java, but knowing a single language.

“If he could learn Java well he could very much learn C++”.

Again emphasise is not on C++ specifically, but any other language really.

Technology landscape changes, stack get more complex.

While we should not expect everyone to know everything all the time, we should expect most developers strive for fullstackness. A ideal perhaps never to be achieved .
Chalk me up as another anecdatum of being subjected to questionable dentist practices.

If you’ll permit me to grossly oversimplify, I feel like dentists are to medicine what software developers are to engineering.

Both professions tend to play faster and looser with rules and standards, and tend to be closer to trade careers than most of their superset.
That depends on the markdown implementation (like so many features). But most of them implement "two trailing spaces on previous line force line-break" so you can (in most places) do something like this:

This is a paragraph with no linebreaks.

This is a paragraph with
one linebreak but without trailing spaces

This is a paragraph with one
line break and trailing spaces on previous line

That will render correctly on GitHub and other places (meaning, when rendered, the first one has no line-breaks, the second one has no line-breaks but the third one does [select the full third example to see the trailing spaces])

Here is a demo of it in action: https://jbt.github.io/markdown-editor/#dY3RCYAwDET/M8VN4DQuE...
Because they way Switzerland is structured both in terms of administration and geography I don't think that a village in Switzerland is equivalent to a village in most other countries. Presumably the canton system results in more smaller cities and large villages, and the terrain means they are in a limited number of places. The largest cities are all within 100 km of each other. While a single trip in a large country can be longer than the entire length of Switzerland. It will of course be easier to match a timetable with short predictable distances at lower speeds.
Yes, that has been my exact experience with folks who work within Colab and other Jupyter-like things:

1. They assume everyone has access to the same environment they do

2. They often don't understand anything about the infrastructure that's running their stuff

3. They produce very interesting work (such as this particular TTS work)

4. They drop 90% of their potential audience within 5 mn because the bloody thing lives in a weird cloud-only environment or requires a nightmarish stack of dependencies to run on a local machine and basically can't be simply integrated in a larger pipeline (e.g. a simple shell script).

My experience has been that getting ML researchers to get their head out of colab's ass and learn to type things like "ls" and "cd" is really hard.
> Supporters of the Strong AI Hypothesis insisted that consciousness was a property of certain algorithms – a result of information being processed in certain ways, regardless of what machine, or organ, was used to perform the task. A computer model which manipulated data about itself and its ‘surroundings’ in essentially the same way as an organic brain would have to possess essentially the same mental states. ‘Simulated consciousness’ was as oxymoronic as ‘simulated addition’. \

Opponents replied that when you modelled a hurricane, nobody got wet. When you modelled a fusion power plant, no energy was produced. When you modelled digestion and metabolism, no nutrients were consumed – no real digestion took place. So, when you modelled the human brain, why should you expect real thought to occur? \

Maintaing a car (bottom line) in Switzerland hits you with a minimum of 800 Franks a month, or almost 10'000 Franks a year.

A first class Generalabonnement is virtually half the price of that.

So, no. It's certainly not cheaper to drive.
>Doctors are great if you have a problem doctors are great at.

This is tantological- but it has some great depth. I'd like to quote you on this, if I may.
Counterpoint: it is absolutely something you could know all of. In your example, I’d describe myself has highly proficient in c#, Typescript, React, Postgres, and Kafka, proficient at Kubernetes, and unfamiliar with OpenTelemetry. That’s just a list of common tools, and if the list were different, I’d be pretty confident I could learn whatever I was missing on the job. Tools are usually the easy part.

I agree you need to know all those things pretty well, but I don’t think that’s a huge ask. You can definitely pick up Kafka in a few months.

Look, maybe all that’s not your thing, which is fine, but knowing a wide range of tools and being comfortable in any part of the architecture isn’t some crazy rare skillset known only to certain cyborgs. It’s certainly not idiocy to seek those people out.
In my European country if a train was running very late they could turn around the train some stops earlier, thereby not servicing the stations further down the track. Since the train would never arrive there it implied it also couldn't be late and thus it would not be counted in the statistics as such.

I've been a meat eater 40+ years. I wrote that at least B12 supplementation is necessary, you want to ignore that. Maybe I was not clear enough, but then, English is not my first language.

> I didn't reply to this

I've just tried to extract the core of my position, and of yours. Sorry if I was not clear enough (I don't like to spend my time in discussions, so I'm maybe too hasty in formulating my comments).

> Plants are enough (again, don't forget your B12 vegan supplements).

Does it mean you don't need to supplement? Doesn't it mean you may eat only plant-based diet, with B12 supplementation, and then be healthy? Maybe my english is worse than i thought.

> You have no interest in a curious and intelligent conversation. All you want is to propagandise your vegan ideology.

If there is any propaganda, it's of meat & dairy industry. Any connection, cheese queen?

> "Most vegans" ... risk heart disease, stroke and pregnancy complications! "Most vegans". Most! Because they don't get enough B12!

Hence the supplementation. Me & my wife have been supplementing from the start, several years now, and take regular blood tests. No problems what so ever. My doctor quipped that he've never seen such optimal blood test as mine is (all values in the optimal range).

> Well, why do you need supplements when your diet is healthy?

Because B12 in the meat is from earth bacteria (ideally, or from vitamins the animals are fed). We wash our food, animals don't. But we can rely on our marvelous production capabilities, and produce required supplements from vegan, non-animal sources, directly for human population.

With veganism on the rise there is more and more fortified foods available, so I suppose it will be less and less problem in the future.

> Because plants are not enough. You need a balanced diet to stay healthy and if you cut meat and animal products from your diet your are putting your health at risk.

No, you are not putting your health at risk. There is where my beef with your position is.

Western diet is linked to a lot of health problems. A lot of those problems is linked to meat/dairy intake. For example, milk/cheese is linked to alzheimer/parkinson, meat is full of herbicides/pesticides/omega-6, eggs are full of cholesterol ... you're deliberaly ignoring that with B12 supplementation a plant based diet is healthier.

> Irresponsible, dishonest, fanatical liars.

You seem very angry, determined in your ways, and nitpicky. I dont' have time to discuss this further with you. Have a nice day!
Perhaps also worth noting that rootkits don't have to follow the usual rules; you don't have to rely on the kernel linker if you don't want to.

(Tradeoff of runtime DIY symbol resolution / code grovelling being it's more work, and more likely to be crashy).

As a rootkit author you have considerably more flexibility than most module authors who are constrained by "sanity", maintainability, accepted practice and licensing terms.
i tried shrooms and then 6 months later had deep insight

i’ve been dealing with low grade trauma for a long time so kept doing the work

i will never know if i finally put enough work or if going crazy on moderate shroom trip rewired the brain just enough to see

this stuff is so hard since personal experiences are hard? unwise to generalize.

yet, feeling better about existing is nice.

also recovery is always tenuous since life can deal you a hand that can break you and maybe your new healthy mindset can’t handle it.

yet, the old broken mindset would have at least kept you alive.

too young to comment on which it will be for me
I think we directionally agree; about the post-Soviet phenomenon - I know for fact that this phenomenon started immediately after the war and was part of consolidating power by the Soviets. The communist Poland was, in a weird way, quite nationalistic. But you are right that this phenomenon has its reneissance, or even reinforced version now as we're speaking.

I don't fully understand what specifically do you mean by saying that there was no holocaust to non-Jewish Poles, but thousands of them died in concentration camps all around territories occupied by Germans and often shared identical fate to those who were of Jewish origin.

If I understood you correctly, you use term "holocaust" to describe mass extermination of Jews and Jews only, and as long as you acknowledge there's been other mass killings during the war, I'm completely fine with that.

e: it's not how I was taught history at school - e.g. teachers would include non-Jewish Poles, Russians, Hungarians, Romas, Sinti, and other nationalities that were sent to death camps too - I think by holocaust they basically meant death camps (regardless on who was killed in there) rather than the bigger scheme of killing all the Jews.

“Sucking it up” means dealing with your situation and not trying to change anything.

If you want to change something, you have to demonstrate that you’re acting in good faith and trying to work with the system rather than against it. Asking to change teams is working with the system. Getting into personal fights with your manager and escalating the battle at every opportunity is working against it.

People who work with the system and behave professionally are going to improve the overall health of a company. People who escalate every battle and want to fight every conflict until one party loses (in this case this backfired on the OP and they became the loser) generally only make the system worse.

The thing to keep in mind is that the company doesn’t have to choose which person is “right”. A manager and employee blowing up conflicts can both be wrong and can both be removed.

> the org as a whole is slightly less savvy than the biggest doof therein.

I've seen about 220 'orgs' from the outside in, interviewed a few thousand people in those orgs and have done the write up on the state of affairs. I've yet to find a single example that would support this claim, where did you get this from?
And that's exactly the attitude I'm talking about
I like this post a lot, and I can certainly relate to this working in the business technology sector as a developer and as a generalist technology consultant for a large firm. Contracts get signed, and half the time, the seller doesn't understand what they're selling, and the buyer is buying an idea and truly doesn't get it either, then it's up to the technical consultants to take their best stab at it while being billed out as an "expert."

Then you have professions that are much more black and white, mainly the trades and non-technology engineering. Their survival is contingent on knowing what they're doing, most of the time and they gain more profit by being efficient with tasks they've seen time and time again. Think of a plumber or garage door repairman whose seen your specific problem hundreds of times before. A good tradesperson will know precisely what they are doing.

I'm not sure where I'm going with these rambles, but the encouraging view of what the author is writing about here can almost be described as embracing uncertainty in the business world where the rules aren't clearly defined. Much different than the trades or non-tech engineering, where the end deliverable is something that is more concrete (no pun intended) and easily understood by the average person.
How do you then account for the fact that, say, an industrial robot can construct a car?

Clearly the encoding is not entirely arbitrary then, at least when we are seeking to actually embody the computer in the real world. Also, the behavior of such an embodied computer is independent of any observer. The industrial robot creates the same metal whether some human interprets that as a car or some alien sees it as a work of art.

Yeah, I'm not saying it would be simple or even that the experience in alternative app stores / apps wouldn't be much worse. I expect it would be worse. I just think if I buy a phone I should be able to run what I want on it, without unreasonable impediment. I appreciate the App Store, app review and the relative thoroughness of it (though it hasn't really scaled) and am not suggesting they abandon it.

There's room to quibble with my 3% number, but it can't stay 30%, that seems obvious at this point. I disagree that the 30% charge is what makes Apple able to provide those free things. I pay for my Apple Developer Account annually, so while XCode is free to download, distributing my app is not. Apple's hundreds of billions in idle cash to the point where they are flirting with becoming a bank also begs to differ that these fees are necessary to keep the App Store affordable. It's a very profitable business, and I don't begrudge them wanting to keep it, but I would support pressure to reduce fees.
I think trauma is a fundamental part of the human experience and everyone has it. But it's not a binary: surely many have a much lighter trauma load on their life than others.
