I would like to go into an office pretty often IF it were in a nice location that was a short walk away from me. If I am doing more commuting than a 20 minute walk, I would rather work remotely. Also if it were not open office plan that would be better. I think a huge complaint of in office work is really a complaint about commuting, and how poorly designed our cities and lives are. If we fix that in office would be much better for many people.

Regarding TFA there is a lot of untapped talent all across the US, and even more globally. How many really great engineers are there working for Lockheed Martin or some small web development office because they live in a Rust Belt city or a rural area, and their choices are extremely limited if they don't want to upturn their whole lives (moving away from family, friends, etc). Expanding the talent search beyond a few metros is a huge win for orgs.
Don't people argue that basically all Star Wars movies and recuts post-1983 have basically just served to dilute the brand? I guess it's a bit more murky when you start arguing about the whole expanded universe of novels, video games, TV shows, theme park attractions, and whatever else.

But it does feel different when you invite new creators to step up to the plate and create new chapters in a story and then explicitly elevate those new chapters to the same level of canon as the original. This could even be said to apply to Lucas and the prequel trilogy, since Lucas did not direct Empire or Jedi, so the prequels were being made essentially be a completely different team than the originals (other than him).

All that to say— this could be done, but it would be really important to manage the branding of it. It's not an "LOTR sequel", it's "LOTR Legends — new stories set in Tolkien's beloved world", with the clear implication that canon 0 is LOTR, canon 1 is the Christopher Tolkien-edited works like the Silmarillion, and the "Legends" are canon 2. Anything not associated with the estate is canon 3, and the movies, video games, and TV show are not canon at all.
IME legal is always on a separate floor with much less open offices. Eerily quiet like the executive floors.
USSR had this possibility on paper and even offered a mechanism for exit (a local referendum). In fact it was dissolved after all republics including Russia left it. Probably the reason it was a mostly peaceful process with few exceptions.

Forcing people to do things they don't want or enjoy _is_ dystopian, and definitely unhealthy.

If a community relies on forced interaction, perhaps it is not a community at all, just a bunch of captive people in a sort of abusive relationship.

2x drinks at a happy hour isn't successful alcoholism, that's just a lack of cultural stigma.

Considering the importance of the topic, and provided the linked articles actually contained examples of Google censoring anti-war propaganda, I believe the swipe would have been fully justified.

Highly emotional tone changes how the data affects the reader. If he is right, I would surely better remember next time that Google is in the same ballpark due to the insult hitting hard. If he is wrong, I will know better to ignore such claims in the future without a direct quote or something else that consumes less time than reading an entire linked article.
I don't mean to discount your experience, but I do think that those problems are solvable. There is something about that fluid collaboration that yields a lot, but I don't think being in the same room physically is a hard prerequisite.

I haven't played with Slack's huddle feature but that could be it. I know my small team of 3-4 devs spends most of the day in a breakout room in a big permanent zoom call that we use for that sort of fluidity.

It's also worth keeping in mind for every office worker like yourself there is at least one who would complain about the constant interruptions, so they need to be considered in this equation too. Different work styles.

(Also the absolute societal waste and ecological damage of daily commuting along has me wishing we would mandate WFH for all jobs where it's feasible. A total waste of time and resources, a luxury we don't have anymore as a species.)
> As time goes on it won't feel "fun" it'll just feel "normal". And you just won't get as much out of your life as you could get, won't achieve as much relationship success, professional success, or personal fulfillment.

You can form a bad relationship with literally anything. Social media, television, video games.

The smartest and most passionate developer I have ever known smoked weed literally every day.

There are many musicians who use marijuana regularly. They perform, practice, and achieve at a level I can only IMAGINE.

What you are really talking about here is something nefarious: Self medication. Personally, I self medicate because I have a very busy mind and I need something to slow my brain down at the end of the day.

Other people self medicate due to depression. This IS bad. It is a way to escape reality because you are unhappy.

Anecdote: I smoked weed in high school pretty frequently. Then, I left for college, was super busy, didn't have any money, so I didn't smoke weed for almost a decade.

Eventually I moved to a state that has legal weed, and I bought a joint, and I smoked it. And I found something: It wasn't just youthful rebellion, I enjoy being a little stoned! So now I do it occasionally.
interestingly my experience is the opposite. I find that I'm more consistently communicating with a wider variety of people that I might not have interacted a ton with before. I don't have random desk drop-ins pulling me out of work flow, either. Conversations are either consensual or they can wait for later.

This whole thing has made the entire world work the way I want to work, which is pretty much opposite of how it's been for my entire life so selfishly it's pretty great.

Well there's your problem..

In all honesty, I've used Docker Desktop on WSL2 quite a bit too and the overhead is very minimal (additional memory consumption mostly).

Avoiding a transformational technology like containers (OCI is used by multiple implementations now, like containerd, podman etc) because of this seems a little silly to me.

> than to have a company require me to attend some silly team building event for a week where they expect to own my time 18 hours a day.

Is it like an annual thing? A monthly thing?

It depends on the team building event. Some could be awesome. There are team-building events I would be thrilled to go on and others I would dread. Hell, there are some where I would ask if guests are allowed.

I thought this would be an interesting thing to review considering the trajectory of Netflix, which is now attempting to start an ad-supported tier. Of course, the ads will only ever stay on this tier and everyone else will never have to both pay for a full subscription and see ads.

Yes posting that Wikipedia link isn't a magic way to deflect from the fact that the iraq war led to a million people dead. And that people are still dying from the war on terror. It's amazing that you just said that people in ukraine are still dying, and that just saying that you don't support your government from the comfort of your couch isn't enough... and then you proceeded to link an article specifically so that you can ignore/deflect the deaths that are also happening now and that should be (according to your own argument) much more important than any of your own comfort or even liberty?

"Yes hundreds of thousands of Muslims died and are still dying, but bringing it up or asking me to do anything about is fallacious! Checkmate"

As you said, who cares about debate tricks when people in the middle east are still dying from the war on terror as we spead? Why are you holding other people to standards that you don't even pretend to hold yourself to? You are expecting people to get arrested to prevent deaths and talk about the situation in ukraine, but I guess making you uncomfortable with "whataboutism" is the limit?

I developed a product, Critical Context. Shared bookmarking and search for software teams.

You share a document with your team. E.g. "best cloud vendors".

Then for that document, each team member installs a bookmarklet, and collectively contributes to the research by submitting bookmarks, search queries, and screen shots.

Helpful if your team is collectively researching vendors, frameworks, etc.

Works well for my individual needs too.

You don't think a mountain of MSFT lawyers in every state, including partner law firms around the world haven't thought about this? Do you practice law or are you speculating based on emotions?
Lawyers without offices would have to book a conference room for anything requiring confidentiality.

If they do this 8 hours a day, they essentially have a (larger and more expensive) private office without any place to store files or books.
I am fascinated by Tolkien's writing process and mind as well. I recently read the article about "Bamfurlong", its a place in the books that didn't really need a name. Nothing about the name influences the story at all, the name didn't even appear in the first edition.

But he HAD to go back and add that name in later editions because this place and its history was SOOO real to him.

For every story we got from him, he must have built a hundred more in his imagination of that place.

I'd say that since way less people use Julia than Python, there is likely to be more people among the sample who are Julia enthusiasts. While Python on the other hand is used extensively because it is a previously established and much more popular language, there are likely to be more people that use it just for that reason. The perception is that there's no reason to use Julia if you don't like it, but you may have to use Python even if you don't like it.
I really, REALLY like the idea of Copilot. I think it is a glance at what the future of AI can bring to improve programming. I understand where all the litigation and "uneasiness" is coming from, both from commercial and open-source projects.

I've not installed or used it for the same reason (don't want to use AGPL or GPLd code by accident, and don't want my closed source code to be used accidentally as well), but the thought of Copilot being "killed" due to litigation/copyright/licensing issues is sad.

For me, It's kind of like when MP3 first appeared: Sharing music in Napster or downloading Mp3s from Geocities was just amazing. The idea of having such things at your fingertips. Even though I understood the issue the authors had with the unpaid distribution of their music... still, the idea of "what could be..." made it amazing.

I guess Microsoft could be a bit forward thinking, and implement the "Spotify" model in code: Pay OpenSource developers (whoever owns the repo, or whoever made a commit?) a small amount whenever their code gets used through Copilot.

I'm super excited by how "Copilot" related services will look like in 10 years. And I really really hope that the technology/idea doesn't get killed by litigation.
Maybe a bit too hacky, but if you only plan to use nginx-ingress + HTTPS (and don't have spare /24 IPs around), then you can set up nginx on each node, run a script that generates a nginx config every few minutes (use the stream module to forward port 80 and 443 TCP/UDP to the ingress nginx)

Then add the IP addresses of the nodes as a wildcard DNS.

Fascinating article, thanks for sharing.

It is clear the the author has a deepened deep and wide vision of the options for Europe.

Alas, I'm not convinced the leaders of Europe, as a bureaucracy and as a human group, share that kind of visions, or to be more optimistic, I'm not convinced they will succeed in making it prevalent.

I will share the article widely, thanks for sharing.
> Coffee? every day is fine

/r/nootropics, common thread is as follows:

OP: "Help, I have bad anxiety every day, what should I take for it?"

re: "Do you drink coffee?"

OP: "Yes, about 4 cups a day."

re: "Stop drinking coffee and come back in a week and tell us how you are doing."

1 week later.

OP: "My anxiety is gone!!"

Caffeine has negative side effects. For some people those side effects are really bad.

Also caffeine messes up sleep cycles. After seeing sleep study results, I won't touch the stuff after 10am or so, if even that late.

Alcohol is even worse in this regard, it will just ruin your sleep cycles at night.

Edit: Let me emphasis this for anyone reading:

YOU WILL NOT GET DEEP SLEEP IF YOU HAVE A NIGHTCAP.

Yes, you will get drowsy, drink enough and you will pass out. The restorative quality of the sleep you get that night will NOT be good. I've seen first hand the sleep study results from this. The effect is so obvious that even the questionable sleep quality results that wrist based wearables give you can easily and consistently show this effect.

The current-gen iPhone SE (i.e. what you'd likely buy if you wanted a budget iPhone) costs $429 here in the US. Additionally, you often can get an even better deal if you're willing to sign a contract with a carrier.

Even if I take your prices at face value, I'm not sure "Apple charges 1/2 the price of the phone to unlock sideloading" to be a killer argument.
IETF Draft: Privacy Pass Framework – privacy-preserving replacement for cookies
I think while productivity shouldn't be the exclusive way we measure someone's life (and its implicit frame that someone's worth is measured by that person's material contribution to society), those dialogues hide a more interesting question -- how purposeful someone's life is, and whether regular, recreational use of marijuana supports or discourages living purposefully and meaningfully.

My experiences of marijuna is that it can loosen the societal conditioning on "productivity", and reveal the lack of purpose and meaning in one's life. It's liberating to realize the a lot of the conditioning don't matter as much as it seems.

It's at this point, that it's tempting to continue and just have fun. Here though, is the space in which one can discover one's purpose from within, with societal and external expectations muted. It's paradoxically that here, connecting with that purpose, brings life and joy outside of the mental states that marijuana can bring. When one makes conscious contact with that inner, unconditioned purpose, marijuna is something that is fun that one can occasionally enjoy, but not as a substitute for purposefully living.
150mg THC for a single edible is absolutely bonkers. If you only use ~1x per month, around 3mg is a common threshold dose, and 5mg can be rather strong. So that's 50x the naive threshhold dose!
Hydrogen is purpose-built to be used for custom Shopify storefronts, correct. So you're communicating with Shopify's backend using helpers like `useShopQuery` https://shopify.dev/api/hydrogen/hooks/global/useshopquery

As for hosting, you can deploy to Shopify's Oxygen platform (Worker-based), or any other deployment platform that supports Node.js or v8 Worker runtimes.
I started just saving web pages I like. Bookmarks are great but they are so prone to link rot I find, so its better to save a local copy you can keep forever.
Unfortunately I can't share code at this time but I just described the archiving in more detail in a sibling comment.

The Python interpreter is also quite simple. There's several ways you can do it, but the simplest thing to imagine is if you make a launcher.py script that just invokes Bash as a foreground subprocess. The pstree is kind of funky (bash -> python -> bash), but inside that shell PYTHONPATH will be set approximately correctly. There are reasons to prefer an approach that works with sourcing (eg so you can set PS1), but it's a little harder to describe. You can do some acrobatics to make runfiles (mostly) work, and my recollection is that PATH mostly works but that may require some more work. We do the same thing for Jupyterlab and IPython.
The argument of untapped talent simply doesn’t influence my employer. Middle managers have been pushing to continue remote, and executives have told us in department meetings that the company values culture above all, and part of our culture is being in person. Many people moved during the pandemic and if they want to stay on they need to go into a company office every day. My team of nine is spread across five offices and we’re all required to go into a company office 5 days a week, regardless of whether we do work with anyone in that office.
By the time these kind of drivers are being written in Rust, the gcc support will be there anyway.
You're still cutting off truly remote folks at that point. I want to live in the middle of nowhere, there's no benefit (for me) to remote if I can't. Regular IRL team meetings are fine, that's a wise thing to do anyway.
Yup, I definitely agree that they're harder (and noted this). But I'm not sure I agree with your second point. Or rather, I think there's some nuance to it.

Sure, using AI to treat people without a human in the loop would clearly do harm. But using AI as an assistant, to help a doctor make the right diagnosis, seems like it'd do the opposite. It'd help doctors serve a larger patient population, make less mistakes, and probably equate to less harm in the long run.

Anyway, I think we can all agree that using AI for anything other than ad targeting is a net win.
Quite so, and there is a lot to be said for the idea of city-states making a comeback - except that the power holders in existing states are hostile to such autonomy and exert their authority first by law and then by force. Advocates of decentralization need to face up to the military problem.
> Are you suggesting we can use OSS and not follow the terms required by its license?

"can" is a complex question. You can do anything you want, but actions have consequences. I can buy a gun and shoot someone. The consequence is that I might spend the rest of my life in prison. I can fart in a crowded elevator. The consequence is that people will look at me funny, and might dislike me.

Consequences should be proportional to the action.

If farting in an elevator lead to life in prison, or if shooting someone led to people looking at me funny, things wouldn't work very well.

> If not, then you do have to license your entire work under GPL if you incorporate GPL code and distribute it.

No. This is not a proportional consequence. If a random developer incorporates 10 lines of GPL code into Windows, Microsoft doesn't need to license Windows under the AGPL. That's not how our legal system is set up.

Microsoft has to remove the code and pay damages.

> If yes, what kind of environment do you think you're promoting? Is it positive for the development of the industry, and to society in general?

The logic you're suggesting -- is not only incorrect -- but would lead to an environment where people have an irrational fear of "viral" licenses. They're intentionally not viral. They don't infect code. Releasing your code is one option for remedy, but not one the GPL author can force. The FSF went over backwards to design the license like that.

Damages and removing code is an appropriate consequence. It's adequate to prevent most license violations, and still not overly draconian. I don't know of any business which has gone under due to an error around the GPL. That's as it should be. If the GPL were business-toxic, it wouldn't set up a successful ecosystem.

Think of it: If Nevada gave the death penalty for littering, would you liter less? Or simply never, ever, ever travel to Nevada?

In this case, I don't know of a reasonable remedy. I don't want to shut down copilot, but I do feel bad about having my code stolen from me. Perpetual license for everyone whose code was used to develop co-pilot? A nominal stock grant in Open AI? I dunno. When I've seen class action lawsuits, those are the sorts of places things usually land. Indeed, it's usually just short of being fair.
The conversation about whether or not we should make something illegal is a whole other category. We know that alcohol is bad for the brain and has a myriad of health effects and destroys lives, but was prohibition the best solution to end addiction - the jury is definitely out on that one! And don't get me started on the opioid crisis. However, I do think information is power. People often see marijuana is the harmless, kind drug that gets over-criticized. It's important to realize that the impact of the drug is not harmless and that it's also changing as it's become legalized and people are able to make it more potent with higher levels of THC, the impact on human health - and also the environment. It's also not being sustainably farmed the way it was before.
I have a family and I have friends. If I want to do something awesome, I'll do it with them :). Just let me work with co-workers and let's not try and force me into friendships. These work outings are like the play date for kids -- it's more about the parents (leadership) than the kids (team).
