That seems pretty alarmist.

Dutch companies are incredible penny pinchers, trying to oversell small things while avoiding big things.

I recently got offered 45-55k for a relatively high pressure, high tech, domestic fintech as a mid-level developer. That package was already 'average' pre-COVID, except it didn't have the 'hybrid work' slapped on it. Oh, and a laptop from the company is a benefit (what, am I supposed to just conjure code in the air?)

Unfortunately, I know enough people will say "What? But 3.5k+ gross is a lot!", not understanding their attitude will continue this behavior and will keep wages low across the board.
Costco is generally clean, Costco doesn't have the corporate reputation for extreme exploitation of their workers that Walmart does, Costco's store brand is actually decent, there appears to be no overt cost-cutting in store operations, and for me the big deal was that Costco was the only place around here that attempted to actually enforce mask mandates after you were inside the store. I saw one lady getting escorted out for taking her mask off and starting a fight when asked to put it back on; She screamed "I'LL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN!" and the employee escorting her out said matter-of-factly "Yes, that's what trespass means."

In short, they give the appearance of doing ask if the things a business should be doing in line with the intent of the law, as opposed to just doing the bare minimum to the letter of the law, and doing what you are supposed to do is so rare as to be considered exceptional.
The video chip was called the VIC-II. The VIC was in the VIC-20. They are similar in operation but not compatible.

Digital joysticks were best for most games. It's too bad no one brought out a game pad as they are better for some games. A second fire button could have been added. There were analog joysticks available but typically for special software such as flight simulators. It is too bad Commodore didn't put out an analog stick to encourage their use in driving and flight games. The joystick industry would have ran with it and would have brought out lots of them.

The VIC-20 didn't have a built-in assembler either. Jack wasn't a computer user so he didn't see them as being important and was more focused on keeping the prices low, especially for the home models. Commodore did release ML monitors and even the Super Expanders on cartridge for the VIC-20 and C64.

The IBM PC only won because it was built from off-the-shelf parts, meaning the hardware was effectively open source. Once the BIOS was cloned, there was no way anyone else could keep up. The only survivor is Apple and they almost didn't make it. If the CP/M machines had time to become mainstream on 16-bit processors before the IBM PC was cloned, it might have won and Digital Research might have become what Microsoft has.

coffeefirst implied that only people with private offices at work want to work from the office. I gave some counterpoints explaining that there are other good reasons to work from the office. I like working from the office, and I don't have a private room there.

I'm all for remote and hybrid work, but some comments here a bit over the top. Live and let live, why is it a problem for you that I prefer to work from the office? I bend over backwards to make sure the remote people on my team can work from home, even tough this can get pretty annoying if you do hardware.
I just find it silly that the law makers didn’t think of this. And to think the judge would just say “well if you sent them to dev null I guess you got us, golly gee” is bs. If sued they’d be found guilty of something such that they’d think twice about not storing logs.

Interesting that wire transfers can be done but not Wise transfers but that is probably caused by Costa Rica strict rules.
Not only is it a solved problem (Tesla, grid.io, ecobee, nest have time of use, if not community savings) but it is solved by electric car batteries preferring slow charge, electric cars having range beyond daily commutes, some people charging their cars at commercial connections some of the time, and everybody not having the exact same schedule.
Same with sanctions, or any other form of violence (violence, in the most abstract sense). The idea is to positively influence by exerting pressure. That's the ideal, anyway.

It can become difficult to tell whether violence is motivated by noble intentions, or vengeance and disdain. Or, whether it's done by conscious choice, or via group-think.

No offense to the electrician you talked with, but they are ill-informed. Electric grids have been planning for the shift to EVs for years. This isn't a surprise to them. This is what they do all day.

In the UK for example, the Nation Grid reports that grid-source electricity use peaked in 2002 and has fallen 16% since then (due to increased solar panel installations, etc). If all cars switched to electric overnight with no time for additional planning, grid-source electricity use would increase 10%, still under 2002 numbers and still well within manageable limits. [1] But obviously in a real-world scenario, they have plans to better handle the pace of adoption more intelligently than that.

It is true that everyone charging at full speed simultaneously at 5pm would be an issue. So that's why every car sold is smart enough to charge when rates are cheap and skip charging during peak hours. This is further incentivized by fluctuating power prices. People vote with their wallet and if they can get the same result (a fully charged car) for half price or less, they are certainly going to skip charing during peak hours unless they are on empty.

I think people who haven't owned an electric car are imaging how home charging works in the wrong way. Most people don't need to supercharge their car every night at 5pm to fill up the battery from empty to full by 5:30pm. Most of the time, your car has lots of power left after a normal commute and you just plug it in when you park so it is full again tomorrow. It doesn't matter what time during the night it charges and the car will figure it out. It's just not a big deal.

Any strategy of war must be effective. Russia maintains a positive trade balance, largely by exporting commodities, and most of the world remains happy to buy them. On 1st January, a Euro would buy you 85 rubles, today, you'd get 62.

It might feel like the right thing to do. It might even be the right thing to do, the West is wealthy and can afford to take certain haircuts as a moral stance.

It doesn't appear to inflict any harm to the target, however. Asia makes all the electronics and Russia has its own heavy industry, what can we deny them, Facebook? No they have their own one of those as well.

The harm it does to our side is obvious, and the polite thing is always to ignore it, but that's premised on the sanctions harming the enemy in some fashion, which, they don't.
With SQL Server the management tool does give you a way to do this. Yes, it does a table rebuild behind the scenes. The point is that it's easy. Don't have experience with the other two, but MySQL is the most popular so it kinda sets the tone whether we like it or not.
Don't worry. We had all the European software available through the piracy channels here in North America. Very little of it didn't work.
So you really think people can't bond online? There is literally people falling in love playing MMORPG's together. I have personally gained a few good friend from good old IRC chats.

You are allowed to bond and have fun on calls. Yes, you can't smell or touch people but that is not something you want in a business context anyway.

Last company I worked with was fully remote and we where super close to each other even though I have never met them in person. I never felt alone. Currently, I am super isolated. The issue is that my current company simply refuses to learn how to do remote properly, so it sucks.

I think it is often simply an ego thing of people who found socializing in the office easy and refuse to learn how to do it remote which has different rules and requires a different skill set.
Lovely story. As a fellow technical writer, I was glad to see you entered tech from that door.

There was a full 15 minutes of true CGI in the first film, an incredible accomplishment back in 1982. It was in fact too much CGI for any one company to produce, they had to hire 4 different companies to handle the workload (MAGI, Triple-I, Robert Abel and Associates, and Digital Effects). They broke up the VFX scenes between them, trying to play to the individual strengths of each company's rendering system. If you pay close attention to the film you can tell which scenes were done by which company.

The backgrounds shown during the live action scenes (with actors) were mostly hand drawn.

I think pretty much every child learns that lesson way before they even enter school.
I attended a lecture by him around 1990. Maybe I was not the Turing Award class of computer scientist, was not sooo impressed what he spoke about. Remember Parnas [1] approx. the same year much better.

Around 1998 Gray had built something called TerraServer, must have been years before Google Maps or OSM. It was a real eye opener at the time to see my little house in the middle of nowhere in Northern Europe on the internet published for free by an American company. At the time PC disk sizes where still measured in Megabytes, so you weren't even able to store that many aerial pictures. At least not pictures of current size. Probably they were smaller then, don't have any data.

Have you been in Manila? People are stacked on top of each other. Covid was bad as it was, with open school would be even worse.

That being said, I am not sure why are school still closed there. In other countries in the SEA region, they are being reopened?
Yes, it is worse. Because if you get a new or newish used car and have to pay $650/month, each month you still have a decently working car.

If you get a piece of junk for $2k and then have to put $1k into it again periodically, during that whole period you have either a pretty lousy car, or a non-working car.

And, as noted by the GP, that will often mean you need to call out from work. Which, for many of the kind of people who would be doing this in the first place, means a) they absolutely don't get paid for that day (all hourly work, no/very little PTO), and b) they will probably get fired if it happens more than once or twice.

Also:

> The problem is that people can't save. It'd be prudent to buy the car for $2k and save the remaining $3k somewhere to cover repairs instead of the 5k down payment.

You.....really don't see the problem with this?

People can't save. Not just "people are bad at it", "people can't manage money", "people don't know what's good for them". People literally do not have enough money to both live, and save. It's nothing to do with "prudence".
The idea was mostly that X.500 was too complex because it also dealt with user authentication and updating the directory data. During the initial development the ability to update dircetory data was then added back and then LDAPv3 allowed for non-password authentication using mechanism that is at least twice as complex as what was in original X.500.
The underlying proposition here is "don't do $X if you also want to operate in country $Y," which I do not find a disturbing proposition at all. It's just that there are a few values of $Y for which staying out of is deeply unsatisfying for international companies--namely the US, EU, and China.

In fact, I would find the alternative more disturbing--a get-out-of-jail-free card for anyone who can set themselves up to be sufficiently international.
Plenty of good points made already - gas is cheap, products are good - but what keeps me a Costco shopper is the consistent and frequent stories about them being a genuinely good employer. Maybe because I've spent my career in retail IT, but I hear all the time about how good of a place Costco is to work. Staff turnover is low, wages are good, and they close for most holidays. I may not need 48 AA batteries often, but when I do, I'd rather buy them at Costco.
I own a pool. My anxiety has decreased significantly as a result of working from home. Its NOTHING to go and run a test mid day. Its nothing to drop off the pool robot cleaner so it cleans for a few hours when I notice it needs something.

However, when I drove to work, the pool was the last thing on my mind until it was a huge issue.

No thanks to on premise, I am so much happier & productive like this.(its like they WANT us to be less productive lawl)
I'm more interested in the algorithm behind the pairing. I wonder if it's randomly pairing colours or using something similar to adaptive comparative judgement.
I really love Calibre and I've been using it for more than a decade. But one thing I'd really hope to see that hasn't happened yet is support for alternative database backends. Unfortunately if you have enough ebooks, it becomes impossible for the Calibre software to scale to handling them and a big piece of this is internal limits placed on the size of its database file. I have such a large quantity of ebooks on my media server (terabytes of ebooks) and have never been able to successfully add all of them to Calibre to be managed as a single library.

I'm glad to see that development continues, this has been an utterly essential tool as I've switched between different ebook readers over the years.

This is not really a problem.

While it is true that you can only use masks from v0, and this requires moving masks into v0 after calling a vector instruction, those moves don't actually copy data from one register to another. Instead, they just "rename" registers.

So...

...generate mask into v2... v2, .... <- put mask here

mov v0, v2 <- move mask into v0
vadd ... <- vector instruction, always use v0

doesn't really put some bits into v2, then copy them to v0, and then call the vector instruction.

Instead, the mov v0, v2 just disappears due to a register rename (e.g. v2 gets renamed as v0 for vadd), and vadd picks the mask directly from the register that was previously called v2 but is now called v0.

Any CPU would implement register renaming before actually even thinking of adding vector registers. So it is fair to assume that every CPU that implemenst the RISC-V V extension, supports it.

I agree, and I am an ICE diehard. I think EVs are the best way forward, but I will keep my ICE project car, I already have it after all, and use it for hobby motorsport.

The daily commuter can be electric. They are just more fit for purpose. I first drove a Nissan Leaf expecting the car to be gimmicky with weird driving characteristics, but it's a incredibly competent feeling car. You immediately notice how much better it is for city driving, in ways you didn't realise your ICE car was deficient in.

Suggestions for executives frustrated with their return to office plans:

1) Recognize that you're paying people for different types of work. You spend most of your days in meetings, but hopefully the majority of your company is heads down on product and services. Different jobs have different needs.

2) Provide incentives! Give your employees a reason to return to the office. Have lunch catered once or twice a week, or more. Provide decent coffee. Add EV chargers. Open a game room or gym.

3) Listen to your employees and try to appreciate _why_ they're asking for something different than what you're offering. Solve their problems.

4) Make sure your network is up to the job. Aggressively fix connectivity both away from the office (e.g. VPN) and at the office (Wifi, Ethernet, etc). Upgrade the damn MPLS that's running an office building with 50 MBps for 500 people, that routes all traffic back through your data center regardless of destination.

5) Fix your conference rooms. Are they easy? Do the gadgets actually work? Can people on the phone cut into a conversation? Can all parties hear each other?

6) Fix the AC that's frosting windows in one office and melting furniture in another.

7) Visit your sites without notice to ensure they meet standards. Eat in your cafeterias occasionally. The food isn't the same as in the executive dining room.

8) Completely rethink the open office space and your other floor plans.

The English tv-related power spikes thing isn't a myth, but it's also not as huge a thing thanks in part to streaming.
