Same message I told my kids! The danger is that you'll like it and you'll end up in a life of misery.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
"The private corporation or firm is simply one form of legal fiction which serves as a nexus for contracting relationships and which is also characterized by the existence of divisible residual claims on the assets and cash flows of the organization which can generally be sold without permission of the other contracting individuals."[1]

To the extent that working from home does or doesn't impact the ability of the firm to serve as such a nexus for contracting relationships, should function as a sufficient supervening factor in deciding to permit such arrangements. Anything else is ego-driven perfunctory management and is right to be examined critically.

What we've all been forced to experience is the barriers to contracting relationships in the digital nexus are much less than what we thought they were and that blanket demands for a return to office willfully ignore the evidence as experienced by workers for the last two years - one that amounts to egopilled tantrum-driven management.

The difficulty is how do you separate that issue from the other connected issue: Lots of people use weed to self-medicate for anxiety. How much anxiety is needed to create a sense of motivation and "stakes" in the day-to-day operation of your life?

Anecdotally, I've known people who were prescribed pharmaceutical anti-anxiety meds and done far worse with that feeling of weightlessness and removal of stakes, like you're just wandering around in the Matrix until something bad happens like a car accident. I mean yes that happens on weed (again, anecdotally) but we have no controlled studies about it, and it absolutely should be studied.

So yes, valid point, but it's the tip of a much deeper iceberg.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply - I don't have a stats background, but it didn't quite sit right with me. The movie example you give here really puts it in perspective.

Unqork uses Unqork to deliver most all of it's SDLC capabilities because yes, as some folks stated to start this: no-code is still creating software and you need visibility, governance, etc around it.

You're saying that if everyone in the world started to take cocaine daily, a high percentage of people, say 80-90% can handle it.
Many teens vape habitually these days.
Filter lists can be hosted anywhere and imported with the @ syntax:

# Make these domains stand out in results

# SPAM - never show these results
experts-exchange.com
# Pull filters from external source

This default list is the only one I distribute but users have come up with own lists.

It would be nice to have a Github repo with such lists (or meta lists: the @ syntax works recursively, allowing lists to import other lists).

Your suggestion of having a standard for the list syntax is interesting.
Came here to say the same. I'm also a very satisfied raindrop.io user. Native Safari integration for both macOS and iOS is a huge plus, and the friction is low to put bookmarks into categories and apply tags when saving them.
This is a technology where is really hard to come up with a use case that isn’t intrinsically negative for humanity. The example they demo of puppeteering the voice of a deceased loved one strikes me as tone deaf and off putting, which seems to be the common response in the comments

I guess we all better hope we don’t leak 60 seconds of our voice anywhere online or within hearing of an Amazon device
Applying broad population-level statistics over the individual patient is inappropriate medicine. An obese person who is losing a medically significant amount weight without going on a diet should be a serious sign for cancer screening, not a "well, good for you" and having the obese person's concerns totally ignored. An obese person who is gaining medically significant amounts of weight without lifestyle changes should be a serious sign for fluid retention issues, kidney failure, etc., not a "eat less" and having the person's concerns totally ignored.
Shopping for cycling shoes sucks. I've had the very same experiences, from the poor selection in stores to the differences between instances of the same shoe model from different years. Last time, I got a second pair and told myself it was ok because now I can rotate shoes and let them dry between daily rides like I do with helmets.
Flat-out 24/7 high would be 100/day. Pot is a drug that successful people can sustain without any financial issues. Compare cocaine which can quickly ramp into 1000/day and beyond, quickly devastating the finances of even relatively wealthy people.
None of your links show Google censoring anti-war propaganda.
I've only used Dolt once, but it was very helpful when I was working in an ML class on a group project. Previously we would commit gigantic CSVs to git, which sucked. Putting it in Dolt made a lot of the data exploration and sharing easier, and separated our data from the code.
I will never stop saying that I think we are continuing down a path of reduced human interaction and community that is leading generations to massive depression, loneliness, and anger without feeling like there is anything to do about it.

We got rid of church, because religion is seen as bunk. Now many people don't have anything to "mandate" they come in contact with people outside their home or workplace.

Then we got rid of seeing people in person. Kids are growing up on social media, discord, and other tools that more than ever puts people away from each other physically, not seeing faces, not interacting in a normal human way. (As a gamer since 15 and now more than double that. At least we had LAN parties in my day).

Then we got rid of having to go out anywhere for anything. Renting movies? Buying anything? Even grocery shopping! It can all be delivered to your shelter-pod.

And now, for millions, we are removing the need for human interaction in the workplace.

This is the stuff of dystopian movies. Yes, WFH is great for several reasons, and I enjoy some of them. It doesn't mean I ignore the bad effects.
> clang and gcc will both tell you at runtime if you go out of bounds [...] You can't have them all on at the same time because code will be unnecessarily slow

Yeah, so clang and gcc don't actually tell you at runtime if you go out of bounds. How many program ship production binaries with asan or ubsan enabled, to say nothing of msan or tsan?

Also you can't have them all on at the same time because they're not necessarily compatible with one another[0], you literally can't run with both asan and msan, or asan and tsan.

Yep, we had assumed what we're building might be most helpful for smaller companies with one content or marketing person, but in our conversations with larger companies it turned out that almost everyone feels understaffed and that Foster could be helpful in at least filling in some gaps.

As we got into the weeds of what it'd take to build for a few large customers first, it seemed that we'd have a lot of custom functionality and servicing required that wouldn't necessarily generalize to other customers.

Our theory is that if we can build a product that works on the individual atomic unit of writing (the draft) then we'll be able to move upmarket – whereas the inverse may not be as likely. On some basic level, a team just produces a higher volume of drafts than an individual.

Focusing on individual writers and individual drafts allows us to stay much more focused on the atomic experience for now.
These laws are the reason I grew up thinking everyone listened to Bif Naked, I Mother Earth, and Swollen Members. It's also why we got Nickelback.
I'm 100% pro-legalisation, not because I believe cannabis is harmless (I got psychologically hooked the exact way lacker describes), but because:

1. Putting people in prison for using it causes more harm than the actual usage of it does.

2. The threat of state force being used to strip people of their freedoms is not an effective deterrent. The war on drugs is an objective failure.

3. The war on drugs was nonsensical to begin with. You are legally free to drink bleach. You can legally drink yourself to death on alcohol. You can legally consume enough caffeine to give yourself a heart attack and die on the spot. You can legally smoke 100 packs of highly addictive and harmful cigarettes a day. But you can't legally consume cannabis, which remains a schedule 1 drug?

Legalisation is of utmost importance not because cannabis is good and we ought to encourage consumption, but because the alternative (criminalisation) is irrational, morally reprehensible, and a costly waste of taxpayer resources.

There is no good that comes from criminalisation, only more harm, more waste, and more people being stripped of basic human rights for no justifiable reason.
It's in zig but I just call mmap twice at startup to get one slab of memory for the whole file plus all the space I'll need. I am not sure whether Zig's GeneralPurposeAllocator or PageAllocator currently use mremap or not, but I do know that when realloc is not implemented by a particular allocator, the Allocator interface provides it as alloc + memcpy + free. So I think I would not OOM. In safe builds when using GeneralPurposeAllocator, it might be possible to exhaust the address space by repeatedly allocating and freeing memory, but I wouldn't expect to run into this on accident.

Ah, the only thing more addictive than nicotine — online pedantry.

I just said I do have a dog in this fight. You should too, it’s a major public health issue. Congrats on not smoking! Hope you keep it that way and encourage others to follow in your footsteps.

It is typical to rate yourself above your actual self.

Even when someone rates oneself down like when saying of themself that they're dumb, ugly or whatever, they generally mean it in a lesser fashion than for any other peer they'd attribute as such.
Hi, everyone!
One of the platform maintainers here, happy to chat about WebAssembly, our platform, and Spin!
What kind of technologies will help your business in the long run if it is currently human editor marketplace? I am looking for some technical entry barriers against potential competitors.
Many years ago I was sitting at my computer smoking after work like I normally did, and I asked myself, "What would I be doing if I wasn't smoking right now" and I couldn't answer it. I tapered off pretty easily and began to fill my time with other hobbies.

I was never the type of smoker which was "active". I would smoke socially and began to hate that I could never remember people's names or conversations. It made me fairly quiet and anti-social compared to without.

Now I really can't enjoy marijuana, even when buying low THC high CBD bud and vaping it, it's still very easy for me to overshoot and get into a state I hate. Marijuana turns me into a complete idiot and creates a sort of cerebral haze I can't stand.

I really dislike the lack of education surrounding marijuana. People, especially young people, seem to disregard the impact of excessive consumption. You can argue with me all day it's safer than alcohol or tobacco, and I agree if we're talking equivalent amounts, but I'm not saying you should drink daily or multiple times a day for years.

Everybody is different, my experience isn't necessarily everyone else's. For those that do fall into the trap of spending too much money, time, and failing to understand how weed might be holding them back, better education, regulation, and support should net society a bunch of happy well informed people living their best lives.
Moreover, these kinds of rankings often conflate user satisfaction with hype (which isn't to say a hyped language isn't a good one, but just that "I love it" can mean "I love what I've heard about it, but I haven't used it"). I'm not sure about SO's love/dread in particular.
Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union defines the process for leaving - which is what the UK followed?

My fully remote company has done a handful of hack trips where we live and work together in a fun destination city for a week. They have all been optional so far. Everyone who has chosen to attend has reported feeling more connected to their team, more willing to ask questions (less fear of looking dumb), and generally happier in their role in the company. We intend to continue doing these once or twice yearly, assuming we have the financials to make it happen.
Yes, why wouldn’t they be?
Linking this next time somebody tries to tell me iOS's limitations on sideloading improve security.

In reality it costs the bad guys $299 to bypass this limitation, while your average user is locked out of this feature.
It's more complex than that.

A lot of code on github (albeit not mine) is uploaded without the original party's agreement. Richard Stallman doesn't use github, but a lot of his GPL-licensed code has been incorporated into projects hosted there. If the terms-of-service allowed github to violate GPL licenses, I think most projects would need to migrate to gitlab. It'd be neigh-impossible for project authors to know that no GPL code in their project came from someone who did not have a side-license to github.

Even if that argument fell apart somehow, their terms-of-service state (https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...):

This license does not grant GitHub the right to sell Your Content. It also
does not grant GitHub the right to otherwise distribute or use Your Content
outside of our provision of the Service, except that as part of the right to
archive Your Content, GitHub may permit our partners to store and archive Your
Content in public repositories in connection with the GitHub Arctic Code Vault
and GitHub Archive Program.

github is now selling My Content. To add insult to injury, they're trying to sell it back to me!
And the Schengen agreement is EU law :-)

That's like saying free speech in the US comes from the 1st amendment, not the constitution.
I see a lot of blah blah blah below, but none of it gets to the crux of the matter, and that is LibreOffice is klunky.

I used to have it installed, because I had installed it for my father-in-law and I was his tech support (he passed a couple years ago).

The API in Writer is a mess. Okay? I am sure I'll get some people sqawking for be saying that out loud, but I also know a bunch of you will be nodding in agreement.

And don't get me started on Calc.

Lets get another thing clear, I don't love Microsoft Word. I don't. But then, my original experience writing documentation was in nroff/troff using Writer's Workbench. Then later, TeX. But the truth is, through work, or school, a ton of people have become accustomed to be productive in Word.

And Excel is simply Superior to Calc in every way.

And yes, Microsoft is up to their old tricks, the bastards. We all know it.
I mean, WSL2 was pretty good in Windows 10, but OMG WSL2 in Windows 11 competely rules. Native Linux USB support. Wow. That is some wicked bundling there.
And then, if you have a family, Office 365, just for the fact that you can hand it out to a total of five other people, and you each get 1TB of cloud storage. For $99 per year. Again, wicked sneaky bundling. Six instances of 1TB cloud for $99? We only use five here, so $20 each, per year, for 1TB of cloud. Oh yeah, you get to use Office 365 if you want, as well.

So year, Microsoft pulls under handed market bundling.

But that doesn't excuse the fact that LibreOffice is Klunky.
Now that I no longer have to support it, I don't miss it at all.
I actually agree, but this is a pretty deep philosophical issue that requires several more blog posts to fully unpack - blog posts I will write.

Essentially, I agree that the very idea of intellectual property is invalid, and my end-game would be to have it overturned entirely, copyright and patents alike banished from this earth. However, a practical view must acknowledge that we live in a world where IP is normalized in the view of the public and in the view of the law.

I would ordinarily "walk the walk" here and act as if the world operated according to my moral lens, i.e. not bugging people about compliance with software licenses. In this case, though, that would be counter-productive. The issue is that there is an asymmetry between the software producer and consumer. I believe that the user has a right to the source code for all software they use (praxis: reverse engineering is good even when it's illegal). However, under the current copyright regime, the producer can withhold their source code. If I publish open source software without concern for copyright (e.g. WTFPL), this allows commercial entities to take my code, but does not allow me to take theirs, so there is a power imbalance that works against my interests.

So, free software licenses are necessary and important. In an ideal world, without copyright, I would be totally fine with GitHub Copilot - because I would also have access to its source code, and the model, and would be able to modify, repurpose, or sell it myself. But we don't live in that world, unfortunately, which allows GitHub to exploit the power imbalance by ingesting free software into a commercial product that they have the sole right to monetize and dictate terms of use for. It's this exact imbalance that the GPL family of licenses were written to address, and it's a spit in their face to pretend that they don't apply, especially from an organization that damn well ought to know better.
And another large (and growing) swath of users are never going to pick up any nicotine product because they never got enticed by Juul's advertising to kids. A net win for society and should have happened years ago.
I’m not sure the throughput is that high - scans take quiet a bit of time, I would doubt that a register scans an item every 3.6 seconds - don’t have data on this but would easily triple that estimate as an average (so in the hundreds)

Also , I get the simpler tech, but complexity breeds failure - if you have a hybrid on prem / cloud model, especially with only 250k skus, at that point doesn’t it make sense to keep that exclusively in the cloud.

It’s a system that scans a barcode and returns an item at its core - this is still well under the limits of using an off the shelf system like Redis behind an endpoint

The suggested tags is what I'm really interested in, but don't want to pay extra for it. It'd be nice if a Chrome extension (since my bookmarks are sync'd there anyway) handled this with a nicer display but used the existing bookmarks.

For example, a tag of the subreddit would be excellent for all my recent /r/unixporn inspiration saves. Managing bookmarks is a hassle and why I usually don't bother or throw them into a "Misc" folder.
> that benefit only the extroverted political operators and actively causes problems for the people actually doing the work

"only people like me contribute! the others do nothing!" - tired argument.

Anyways, I'm starting to think that skirting any lines here for a company doesn't really help. They should make a call and (mostly) stick to it, then let people figure out what environment they want to be in (and change jobs accordingly).
I used to joke that we bought all our clothes at Fleet Farm and Tractor Supply, but the reality is that both places (Fleet Farm has a greater variety by far) have basic, reasonably-priced T-Shirts and jeans that stand up to hard work every day.

Take a look at Duluth Trading Co. for a similar trend, if a bit more upmarket.
Well that's kind of a collection of things that includes working in the office, but doesn't really provide any viewpoint at all as to why they're so comically misunderstanding how to track productivity. On my team, I want everyone working wherever they produce the best output.

Some people slack off at work. Some people slack off more at work if they're at home. If your management team isn't exclusively sourced through nepotism, they should be competent enough to track output and know who needs to be in the office or not. Sending everyone back to the office is admitting that the managers/executives are so hopelessly incompetent at knowing which of their employees actually does the work, that the only way they can get anything done is to hide the unproductive people in teams with the productive people.
That’s not normal at all.
This seems like such a convoluted way of measuring what happened.

There are very easy and very concrete ways to measure if businesses saw a drop in spending. You could look at tax receipts for the area, for one.

Instead they chose to ask peoples feelings about sales numbers...
Well, that's what Article 50[1] was established for.

Also why do you find this particularly odd? Is there a clause in the constitution for US states to leave the USA?

For professional office workers, there are short term and long term benefits to all individuals (entry level, middle management, executives / younger, older) and to the company as a whole. There are also short term and long term detriments to all the same parties.

For individuals, the costs and benefits are easier to grasp, though the net benefit is likely higher than for companies. This makes it harder for companies to make a case as to why it's worth it, especially since the longer term costs and benefits for companies is incredibly difficult to prove in the short run, and without concrete evidence, it's very hard to convince people to give up the more tangible benefits they are seeing as individuals.

Then there's overall societal impact as well. Things like the economic impact on neighborhoods surrounding business districts, residential districts as people shift where they spend their time. Things like changes in civil engineering needs as commute and travel patterns change. But even more broadly, the impact of spouses spending more time together, parents spending more time at home with their children, home duties being more evenly taken care of across parents, etc.

In my mind, the level of complexity and decision making issues is akin to something like outsourcing manufacturing from the United States. There were short term and long term impacts on individuals, on companies, on industries, and on society as a whole that were known, that were debated. But how much import we placed on each, how much each factor was weighed in the moment, versus the broader impacts we are finally realizing and grappling with now, decades later, is just an absolute mess.
getting rid of the car doesn't get rid of the commute. Plently of countries in the world where most people commute by train/bus/subway but it's still 40 minutes or more on average to commute.
I just leave the tab open forever
I would recommend abstaining entirely for 2-4 weeks. See how you feel. See how easy it is to do. That you should give the perspective you need to evaluate whether it’s something you want in your life or not.
