> Couldn't 800 actual humans have interacted with our elders instead of 800 robots with their money? Just a crazy idea, everyone.

This is an amazingly out of touch conclusion, and I've got to wonder if the author has any significant experience caring for elderly window(er)s. It is emotionally tiring work, that is ultimately never done. Because when you leave to take care of your own life, they go back to sitting around idle and the lonely time starts accumulating again. They all complain about the overwhelming silence [0].

About the best solution is hiring a helper for a few days a week, to come in with fresh energy, do that emotional labor, and let the elderly person self-actualize through their helper. But many elderly people who could afford to do so are still hesitent to, because they're set in their ways, and also depressed and don't see the point of doing anything.

The current de facto "solution" is lots of TV watching and becoming lost to the criminally malevolent "news" that tells them the world is falling apart. This increases their isolation, and also the work for others to interact with them. Any solution that enables elderly people to engage in interactive constructive dialog at their own speed is a massive step up, modulo the corporate dystopia malincentives.

[0] From my own experience it only takes around 2 weeks of being alone for me to start hallucinating human faces in inanimate objects, and I'm an introvert. Our brains are wired for social stimulation.
Unplug:

- Disconnect from the internet

- Disconnect your laptop from the charger and try to ship whatever you're working on uniquely on the laptop's charge.

These are artificial handicaps but when I do it, damn. You're looking at that battery charge and you prioritize ruthlessly. This is great to ship proof of concepts, prototypes, etc.
Another way of looking at at:
Where own data-center cost gets to high it might be due to lack of responsibility to act or inability to manage.

A company then have two options:
(a) replace/pressure top/middle management to get costs down and processes streamlined or, (b) move to the cloud. Its easier (and possibly good for your resume) to move to the cloud and then a few yours later -- decide again.

So moving to the cloud is sometimes an indicator of an inflexible/stale/mature company.
That Wikipedia figure is vandalism from a couple weeks ago that I reverted.
Which ones do you find ridiculous? They frankly diverge from the current status quo but to me they all go in the right direction.

> There exists no formal definition of a WIMP, but broadly, a WIMP is a new elementary particle which interacts via gravity and any other force (or forces), potentially not part of the Standard Model itself, which is as weak as or weaker than the weak nuclear force, but also non-vanishing in its strength.

That's not regular matter.

Its MACHOs that are made up of regular matter (well, brown dwarfs and black holes).

There are also theories that put an undetected form of neutrino as dark matter which would be a bit more regular.
My thoughts exactly. Moreover, it's not just that full-remote jobs tend to be American; it's that they tend to be Silicon Valley. The very jobs that treat developers as a profit-center rather than a cost-center are also those that tend to have gone the way of full-remote.
How in the world is Arcane considered anime? It wasn't written or produced in Japan, nor does it have the anime style.
It’s a mantra a child can use to express to others and help steel themselves in the face of a verbal assault. Is it actually harmful? I don’t know but it could be harmful to some and helpful to others. I remember a moment when during lunch at elementary school someone retired insulting my mom. My response was to just ignore it because this taunt changed nothing in the world. The moment that sticks for me though is when the adult lunch monitor asked me why I wasn’t defending my mother.
Yeah and they could avoid layoffs if they cut the executive pay down.
"The fact that North America is the only region paying less to Full remote than to Hybrid remote is also curious. If you have guesses on reasons for this, please reach out."

If a significant number of remote jobs on other continents are working for North American employers, that explains it all right there.
My experience has been, there's effective strategies against bullying that work if you have a single bully. Physical violence is one of them, you do some damage to that single bully, and they'll think better of using you as their punching bag.

If you have a group of bullies, you're sunk. You can't fight everyone, they are going to maintain their "superiority" via unfair tactics if they can. You beat one of them in a fight, the rest are going to jump in and beat you down to maintain the status quo.

Going to administration is the best path. Document your complaints, establish a pattern of behavior. Find sympathetic adults and confide in them.

What's funny is, my experience has been that bullying is a phenomenon of smaller school size. Once I got to junior high, my grade school bullies all of a sudden just weren't interested anymore. Bullying in high school was almost unheard of. We had something like 2500 students in my high school.

I look at these teen dramas with high school bullies, and those schools look tiny, just a few hundred students. If anyone knows research into this area which explains the correlation, I'd love to read about it.
It's been rare for me to see full-office positions most seem to allow for somewhere in between 1-3 days WFH -- which was kind of the standard before the pandemic for me anyway
The only possible upside to this is that the poor Sri Lankans will breathe a little more easily for a while - I remember that the pollution in Colombo was pretty appalling (not that that's their fault). I really feel for them, as in my experience SL had some pretty drastic poverty in parts to begin with.
If you aren't going to fix the problems why?
Do you think women haven't noticed because they've been quiet about it until more recently? Japan is infamously challenged with sexism and oppressive to women, and women have struggled to have a voice on these topics

More than a "gender bias", the issue has been hyper sexualization in public/professional spaces
That's a choice not a law

EDIT: in most successful teams I know manager and team are in the same boat
But you're not answering the question. How does "one can be happy in the midst of hardship, difficulty and pain" encourage one to have children? One can also be happy when there is no hardship, difficulty and pain...
Considering how far backwards companies bend over to make business in China and some Arabic countries I don't expect a single company with some profitable business in the EU to leave that market.
It's amazing, eh, how people will actively defend a company like Microsoft as if they're friends. They think it's fair to treat them with the same level of forgiveness and fairness you'd treat a colleague. Corporations behave like a hungry psychotic animal, simply because of the number of people in them and the incentive structure. The bigger, the crazier. Our colleagues and peers deserve the benefit of doubt. Microsoft deserves a leash.
Do you avoid tourist attractions and cities so that you aren't included in other people's photos? Even though I'm not an Apple customer, for example, I'm sure they could infer much of my movements from their photo database using only other people's photos (I live in a city).
In 2008 I made onemilescroll.com with Daniel Eatock. It was a fun project where we allowed users to post things at whatever height. It wasn't nearly as rigorous as WHW. Eventually it required updates...

> great, just like in the mid-00's!

funnily enough i was working on apps that did this back in the mid 00s. it was horrible. the standards simply couldn’t keep up. the clients couldn’t keep up. in the end it was better for the end user not use those standards and instead we rolled our own.

could be different story today but i don’t think so. just the video call feature would be an absolute mess to standardise. hell, even emojis would open up a can of worms. payments between contacts? contacts themselves? i fear this would end up being the mid 00s again.

Imposter syndrome when you're told an imposter second-to-second.
This is a very ignorant question, although depending on your familiarity it could be forgiven.

The main threat to the NC barrier islands is humans' insistence on things not changing. The natural state of barrier islands is to erode, move, grow, shrink, sink into the sea, reappear. The historical and geological records are quite clear on this. The efforts we put into trying to make them stay put do far more damage than climate change ever will.
If you have a hard task to accomplish, and there's a way of making it substantially easier, the smart engineer is, frankly, going to take the easier option. They're only going to go with the hard one if that's the only hardware they have access to.

Back in university we had to specify to the IT department that we needed Nvidia GPUs because people had done all sorts of cool things with CUDA that we could build on, and if we'd had to write it on AMD GPUs back in 2013 we would have burnt through all of our time just getting the frameworks compiling.
And now you'll be able to choose WHILE still keep using iOS which is much better for you as a consumer.

This being bad for "regular people" is typical monopolistic corporate scaremongering. Apple has proven that they're more than capable of providing secure devices that provide choice with their MacBook series.
At many universities (in the U.S. at least), on paper, it’s the technology commercialization department that makes the call about pursuing patent protection and the burden is on the PI to report all potentially patentable inventions before release so that the university has time to make the determination. In the case you describe, they’d in principle find you in violation of that policy, but in practice can’t because they don’t know about it unless you tell them.
Music to my ears. Apple is a junkie that's addicted to the App Store & services revenue. By opening up their walled garden, it forces them to be more proactive to regain some of that lost revenue. I guarantee the car, the AR/VR and their other underdeveloped products would've progressed so much faster if Apple depended on new product categories to grow their revenue. Right now, they're feeling too cozy.
I have fond memories of playing it a lot as a teenager. I became even more fond of it after I figured out that the developer created Grand Theft Auto about 5 years later.
Just noting humorously related typos, that's all. I'll add smilies here so you can comprehend. :-) :)
Basically every cyberpunk anime from the 80s through today is at least a stylistic nod to Blade Runner. Sometimes the references are more explicit, like Bubblegum Crisis featuring a band called Pris and the Replicants.
Out of curiosity what types of roles have you seen in that pay range?
Sorry, what's that font in the github screenshots?
No, they don't.

This is what happens when you put data from completely different markets together, and you take an aggregate statistic. If all of your full-office jobs are in India and Africa and most of the flexible ones are in the US, of course you'll end up with a huge difference if you don't adjust for the market.

The whole analysis is done poorly. You could at least share the actual data.
It’s clear the article wanted to convey that as well (esp. given the photo of his lecture notes).
Only if you're confident it's some uniquely EU idea (which it's not, regulators all over the world are thinking about doing this).
> I have also literally had my doctor google my symptoms right then and there, and the “I could have done that” feeling just doesn’t build confidence. Clearly it’s through the filter of his knowledge but still feels wrong.

That's an interesting point, because I often google people's computer error messages in front of them, quickly determine the solution, and fix their problem.

I have the same experience as you watching a doctor do that, but from the inside this feels like a straightforward and easy way to get the information I need. I never quite thought about how it must look to someone on the outside.
To explain, you'd need to know the truth, which you don't. So you're just assuming they're innocent when history has proven time and time again that Microsoft is an active troll/bad actor.
This appears to be a modern variation of phrenology. That doesn't make it a hoax or useless, maybe phrenology was just analysing the wrong features of the head. But it should start with the same (skeptical) epistemic status.
I am not sure about this. In my experience, be able to be in the office and working closer with stack holders allow more visibility, faster promotions and higher paycheck. Remote co-workers careers tend to be more static. I have seen this in small as well as FAANG.
I love gitkraken when I'm stumped
I work for a company that does projects that are sometimes funded by the EU. I've never heard of the EU ever asking for something in return. You submit your project, the EU either decides to give you money, or not, and you do your project. Sometimes they check whether you've actually done what you said you'd do. No one in the EU has time to deal with the output of the billions of euro's they invest in random projects.
>New study shows highly creative people’s brains work differently from others'

Ya think?

>"I believe that everybody has the capacity to be creative"

This has to be put in perspective.

Those are not the subjects they were trying to focus on in this study.

I think everybody has some kind of outstanding ability, and certain types of creativity are just one of the very rare things, it turns out.

>only some people do really have the potential to be good athletes.

This is a good example and it can still be worthwhile for each of us to improve ourselves anyway.

I wonder how Bhutan feel about their country code being used for Bitcoin. What if they ever decided to switch to a new currency with a name beginning with a C?
For a "normal" use case one can get away with just git clone, git checkout, git add, git commit, git push, git pull. Anything more advanced like rebasing onto master and squashing before merging (unfortunately) demands that one has at least understanding of git objects. I’ve also noticed the reverse is true - the more understanding of git objects one has, the less catastrophic/unexpected situations ones finds itself into.
Well, this is bad news for the existence of infosec professionals...
Here is my recent hack. I recently done it. It was a take away task and it was rated as excellent, they asked some questions etc. I have asked them to try and suggest what can be done better (I had a couple of ideas, I intentionally left to spot if they will pick up on them).

I think this strategy can be applied to live coding. Just ask them at the end what would they suggest to do better or if they see any other solution to this problem. They should now the tasks in and out if they use them, if they don't I would be highly suspicious.
Sorry but this part...

> Choose the tool best suited to solve the problem you want solved, *regardless of religious beliefs*.

...is nonsense. Open source isn't about "religion", is about actually being able to do something like...

> So fix it.

...without needing to do stuff like...

> do reverse engineer such things

...which is a pointless waste of time regardless of how "not that hard" it might be (which is certainly not easy and certainly much easier to have the source code around).

This association of open source / free software with religion doesn't have any place here, people didn't come up with open source / free software because of some mystical experience with otherworldly entities, they came up with it because they were faced with actual practical issues.

Imagine thinking that punishing success is the way to go.

Europe loves propping up failing companies and industries. Not very surprising that they would go after a company with barely a 30% share of the market.
Um, a lot of research is, in goal, substance, and subject, completely incomprehensible to non-specialists. So in practice I see a lot of obstructions to this method :/
Interesting that the big band era may have lasted longer without the strike.
I think that to make any real sense of this number, you have to understand the demographics and other characteristics of their sample set much better than the article allows you to.
5.8 but scored 10 years younger than I actually am so I've got that going for me, which is ... I don't know.
In case someone here knows but how is it even possible that EU can fine companies based on the whole world "turnover" (which I might incorrectly presume meaning profits) when their power is restricted to the EU space.

Re: this:

> The DMA says that gatekeepers who ignore the rules will face fines of up to 10 percent of the company's total worldwide annual turnover, or 20 percent in the event of repeated infringements, as well as periodic penalties of up to 5 percent of the company's total worldwide annual turnover.
I think it's more likely that a job with full-remote is more "with the times" and more likely to pay a commensurate wage than the legacy corps that require butts in desks to do Teams meetings all day.
My attempts at getting the Steam Deck version to work all failed. You can get the software installed but on reboot the system just seems to freeze. I'm guessing it's waiting for some kind of hardware dependent driver or service to load that isn't available in a virtual machine.
Indeed. I find it weird they did not foresee a crash, given the volatility nature of crypto.
You're right that using canvas/WebGL will be much faster. It seems the embeddable Google Maps JS library recently moved in this direction, though it appears they kept the layers of stacked divs (almost certainly for backwards compatibility with existing users who have HTML layers that need to be kept in sync.)

But something fun to notice with Felt is that the rendering library (LeafletJS) is using transform3d to do 2d translations (instead of just using translate), so you may wonder "why?" At least in Chrome (and it seems in Safari) if you use transform3d the browser is more likely to keep the div in its own layer. This will reduce a lot of the paint/compositing time, and make the frame rate dramatically better. Of course in this case the micro-optimizations are irrelevant in comparison to Felt's JS performance problems (which on my machine appears to be due to projecting 2000 points from lat/lng space to pixel space every frame.) Choosing to project points every frame is super confusing because the whole point of the translate/transform3d optimization is to avoid having to recalculate pixel space during the latency-sensitive pan interaction. Odd.

It might not be more decentralized in practice, but it's easier to make and accept outside contributions. Before "pull requests" were a thing there was the "patch" command. I don't miss manually figuring out how many directory levels to strip to get a patch to apply, or figuring out what to do when patch says "applied 7 of 9 hunks" or whatever.
A lot of people have children because they want to, they feel a desire to. Not because they "should" or have done a cost/benefit analysis.

I find that hard to fit into either of what I find your very unpleasant framings of the question:

> What are the benefits to having children nowadays?

> why one should choose to procreate nowadays

p.s. I'm 51. I don't have children - I've never felt the desire to, but figure I will have kids one day if I want to. I've always thought it would be better for kids if their parents felt like they wanted kids!
I know of at least one business that runs on WordPress that has a bug bounty program. Also the WordPress project itself has one.
I know this means more Chrome. I'm a heavy Chrome user because of the dev tools that are great. At least chrome has good support for web standards compared to Safari.

Why can't it work again? I mean the W3 works, doesn't need to support all the features. Messages and attachments would be enough.
If those models didn't have predictive power that translates to atomic scale, nobody would give them billions for a collider to prove them.
Anecdotally, this seems right. I almost doubled my compensation - and got a bunch of equity, and better benefits - by switching to full remote work. I know many who've done the same. It's a sea change. It'll be tough for smaller non-remote employers to compete.
So always get the direct email of all your coworkers so you can reach them independently of your boss. Firing has a desired second-effect as destruction of evidence.
Note that the Higgs Boson has no part in the mass (and presumably gravitational interaction) of elementary fermions like quarks or electrons, and even less to do with the mass of hadrons (whose mass is the mass of quarks + the mass of the extraordinary amount of energy sticking the quarks together, which dwarfs the mass of the quarks by ~100:1). Even if all elementary particles were massless, protons, nuclei, and atoms would still have most of the mass they have today (though of course many other interactions would be very different indeed).
protectionism is not new, but it’s definitely in the eu’s dna. there are huge lobby groups that constantly want more protection in europe. and they almost always get what they want.
Interesting... there are also other chiplet based optical components that are probably closer to production. I suspect this one is related to Araya's TeraPHY.

Yeah but I think this is a Simpson's paradox thing.

The companies which are fully-remote have higher engineering talent bars and better pay (ie startups, FAANG, etc). The companies which are not-remote are low-pay low-skill engineering jobs (ie insurance companies).

Within either of these buckets you may be right, but not across the industry.
When a service is being shopped around to prospective new owners, eventually user data leaves the custody of those I originally entrusted it to. I'm voicing my opinion on signals that indicate to me it is time to go, and that to me, this is one of those signals
Every reason you've listed is either wrong or avoidable.

Deep down, you don't want children. If you figure out the reason why and cut through your social-programming, then you'll have them.

Otherwise, thanks for playing!
> There's Muana Kea, which is the _tallest_, meaning the furthest distance from the mountain's base to its peak.

I had thought Denali in Alaska held this honor, but apparently the base of Mauna Kea is considered to be the ocean floor which makes it taller. Interesting.
And it’s cruel to bring someone into existence to be your caretaker. And then they’re forced to have kids to take care of them? It’s a Ponzi scheme.
What about storage?

Emojis are just Unicode characters, why would it be so hard?
Yes! As you say, the do notation + monads covers this, but I'm planning to remove it in favour of a slightly more general 'effect basin' syntax that I'm currently working on (syntactically similar to Rust's async + await, but generalised to all effectful operations like mutation, IO, etc.). Example here: https://github.com/zesterer/tao/blob/master/examples/mutate....
