Well, wouldn’t that be a solution? The only real solution will be if we eat ourselves. Better one person eat another than two starve. Scale that. In fact I think there’s an market opportunity for a product that liquifies a person into several nutrient complete meals without the stigma associated with the donner party. — seriously.
Oof. Lots of words, and for what?

I do agree that "woke" virtue signaling, when performed by bourgeois upper-middle-class people who fail to see (or who have vested interests in not seeing, or at least pretending not to see) that capitalism is the underlying enemy, is insufferable. We should avoid falling for capitalism's myriad divide-and-conquer tactics. "Woke capitalism" is a product. So is Trumpism. So is the religious garbage of right-leaning or right-wing megachurches. So are the myriad intellectual hoops Ivy League professors have to twist themselves into to justify neoliberalism.

We do have problems of racism, sexism, and antisemitism in our society. We also have (as the right points out) a problem of cultural and moral rot. All these issues are serious and we need to attack the underlying cause. We need to stop fighting small battles and letting ourselves be divided, because the real enemy is corporate capitalism and the minute we stop letting those boardroom shitfucks divide us, we start winning.
They’ll just void your warranty for tenuously related issues, oh, kinda like…
Why on earth would they ever do that? Nobody in the entire world, to several approximations, would ever know or care. I doubt any of those companies are interested in writing off the wasted dev cost for ideological purity.

What about the efficiency of using the power where its collected?
COVID is not over. I have it (mild) right now. I'm vaxxed and boosted, and I'm very glad for that, but it still sucks.

The bosses don't care, of course. They have their own offices, and people who work in open-plan spaces are replaceable, so who cares if they get sick? Not the reptilian demonfucks who sign the checks, that much is clear.
When I'm at work, I mainly stare at two monitors (and not four walls).
To expand on the topic...

YC wants cofounders that have strong relationships, clear leadership, and significant/differentiated contributions to the venture by both cofounders.

“Build my idea” founders generally don’t have strong relationships and also not true hustlers, they literally have an idea, nothing more, which is worthless; met 10s of thousands of “founders” and the build my idea founders are definitely a type of (wannabe) founders.

No one cares about ideas, they care about growth, especially if they don’t have an existing relationship with you. If you want ideas, they are easy to find, any experienced founder would be happy to give you “good” ideas for free if they liked you; that does not mean the ideas are guaranteed to work, nor will magically build themselves. If you think your idea is worth something with nothing built, go ask potential customers or investors for money to build it; seriously, if it’s really such a good idea, they’ll give you money to build it; just make sure your estimated costs include realistic market rate labor costs.
Last time I checked, there was a worldwide developer shortage, meaning most of us are in a good position to negotiate or go elsewhere.

That doesn’t make too much sense. An intercepted password reset email requires access to the email account. That’s a whole different scenario.

If both the email and DO account are behind strong, unique passwords, that won’t happen from a mere DO email leak.

Now, if the same, weak passwords are used for both accounts, sure. That’s terrible practice. But it’s also not what the GP was talking about.
Well, Apple apparently spends a premium on people; especially those working in Silicon Valley. So, they'd be well within their rights to demand something in return. Like people actually coming to work. On the other hand, the reason they pay so much is that the market for people there is fiercely competitive and laying down the law might simply lead to them spending even more to keep people that otherwise might be poached away by competitors. And that of course happens to their best people first.

You night look at this at an opportunity as well. Because why hire locally if your best people want to work from home anyway? Plenty of talent outside of California that can work remotely. Lots of companies are discovering that fully remote teams can work. There are some companies that never even had head offices.
>The hotspot stays in the same spot, but the earths crust moves over it changing it's position over time.

I'm guessing this is why the Hawaiian islands look the way they do: a hotspot was underneath and formed volcanoes over time, which turned into the islands we now have, as the crust moved northwest.

Being around a large group of bustling people, having to make small talk instead of scheduled meetings, no flexibility to the day, no home cooked meals, no spending time with the kids or family, no quick naps during lunch break, no working from national parks, no working from different countries, have to live close to major population centers that is expensive, commute, no quiet time to get work done etc.
OK, well that just sucks.
There were news in the past about laws which compel web companies to make their sites accessible for screen readers for the blind. Aren't FB's obfuscation techniques against the law, because they prevent screen readers from reading/identifying sponsored posts as such?
From the blog of the project lead (https://blog.inliniac.net/2019/02/24/vuurmuur-0-8-has-been-r...):

“I plan to continue to work on Vuurmuur, but it will likely remain at a low pace. Suricata development is simply taking too much of my time.

As a next big step, I’m thinking about making the leap to nftables. This would be quite a project, so I’m resisting it a bit. On the other hand, I would like to learn more about nftables as well.”
That's because it's such a non issue that the cost of thinking about it for a little bit exceeds the downsides.

When it is an issue there are countless solutions from sharing with livestock (already done in some areas) to providing partial shade for non energy crops like lettuce or capcicum that increase yield to covering parking.

For reference, there are about 2.5 billion parking spaces in the usa which take 20-50m^2 each, very little of which is more than three stories deep. This is room for between 1 and 5 TW of net (ie. averaged over the year including nights) capacity or roughly the USA's entire energy consumption. You could also replace a small fraction (about 5%) of corn used for ethanol (not the total corn) and get a similar result.
The OP isn’t talking about finding someone to work on their idea. They want to meet someone like-minded to start a company.
No, you run GNU/Linux for the freedom. Everyone else* runs Linux because it’s cheap, it’s fast, and it works with all their GoRust ElasticDockernetes gizmos.
In an office, you spend 8-10+ hours to work a 3-hour day. You have to commute to the place. You're basically sick with the flu (but working due to social pressures) for half of February. Being visible from behind while working, as is typical in an open-plan environment, not only suggests low status but causes chronic inflammation that'll cause you to have health problems in your 30s that normally pop up in one's 60s.

Offices suck. The only reason the cattle are being called back into them is because a bunch of propertarian squidcunts convinced some corrupt mayors to say "it's time" even though COVID is still quite active (I'm recovering from it as I type this, and it sucks).
People are already coming to work. You mean "come to the office".
Jamie Dimon, isn’t your office a 2600 square foot apartment on Park Ave?
I think the issue with ffmpeg is that it needs to access GL driver libraries in order to support hardware acceleration. The GL libraries are dependent on your hardware and have to match what you have installed on the system. So you'd end up having to support a hundred different variations of Firefox flatpacks and users would have to make sure they match when installing, and remember to uninstall and reinstall when they update their graphics drivers.
I have 31 addresses (of hundreds-thousands) over a similar 10 year period 2012-2022. My guess is that most of these are things where there's been a database leak (often these appear in the hibp database).

The irony of this comment/response pair being in this thread is delightful.
Nor you. There's a lot of people sharing the sentiment in the GP.

The village where I live has almost a hundred more inhabitants post-Covid, and none of the ones I've spoken to want to move back to urban or suburban areas. It's not for everyone, but working remote allows for a completely different lifestyle.

Personally, I'd rather leave the tech sector behind me and drive a forklift or something, than going back to commuting.

ESLint Equivalents in Elm
It certainly sounds like an interesting and novel approach. Is this the first paper ever to do something like this?

This kind of isn’t my field so apologies for two likely dumb questions that came up for me. How do we know that the description isn’t written by someone with some kind of color blindness or some other kind of eye issue that impacts the description of it’s only using one source? How do we know that color descriptions aren’t impacted by human perception evolving over time?

For the second question what I mean is that I seem to recall that humans didn’t even used to have language to describe different shades that just didn’t exist so there’s an aspect of language and I wonder if the lack of access to those shades alters the actual ability for humans of different eras to recognize that color in the first place.

I don't think the popularity or lack thereof of the side changes whether or not someone would be willing to work for Eich.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs but are not entitled to avoid scrutiny and I think he made the right call stepping down. I would personally never consider working at a company where he was in my management chain nor would I champion a browser from a company he leads.
Things change. Windows cut out 16-bit code with 64-bit Windows, so that particular half of the last "half century" is gone. Macs transitionedto different architectures several times, iPhones to some extend too (from armv7 to armv8, dropping arm32 support entirely relatively early after).

The various Rosettas, most recently the x86-to-ARM one, showed that software emulation is always an option, and so does WoW64, which is a part of ARM Windows (and a part of x86-64 Windows, but there it's not really a software emulator).

> I expect the ARM world will also be singing a similar tune in several decades' time, when backwards compatibility with ancient ARM binaries become steadily more important than pursuing the next new shiny at any cost.

I am not so sure at all about that. The reason is that half to a quarter decade ago, even normal application code was very close to the metal, with MS-DOS basically being a glorified bootloader with file system services that loaded little mini-OSes calling themselves DOS applications.

We are far, far away from that world. Mature abstractions make ISA transitions more and more painless for end-user application developers. The exponential advances in speed make software emulation well feasible for the remainder. High-performance stuff will want to take advantage of the new architectures anyway.
If they are so un problematic why not fill for example central park with them? And then parks in other cities. The ground under can be still used for recreation, when there isn't risk of falling ice. Seems like small trade-off for any ecoconsious person.
Now please let us remove "People you may know" and "Suggested for you" crap too.
I'm not sure what you mean to achieve by this comment. Do you want to imply that working remotely is the same as "remote vacations", and so people are hypocrits for only wanting one of these but not the other?

But if you are serious about your question, please look at the context of each of these: Vacations are often defined by being in a different place. Working, however, is defined through achieving some result - for IT work, there is no necessary, physical "location" attribute.
And if they have different relationships to a physical location, it isn't fair to compare them as if they did.
Its interesting how you get to know the land below you as a farmer. We had prehistoric chalk below our soil at my brothers farm, from ancient corall reefs. Over that were some sanddunes, and on top of that the actual soil layer.

Add to that some forgotten "landfills" of the 70s and you got a interesting underground plowing experience.
Just to offer a counter-point to the general mood of the thread: I've had ... no annoying bugs related to FF in the 2-3 years since I switched to it.

I use FF on windows and in WSL2 Ubuntu and on FF Nightly on android. I do watch YouTube/Twitch a lot, of there's a problem with those sites in FF I'm not aware of it.

Maybe most people just aren't encountering these issues and they're prioritizing bugs that affect more devices?

Sad about the negativity in this thread. I hope FF stays around since TreeStyleTabs are like my most valued bit of software at the moment and it would be a pain to have to replace them.
Note the difference between "lots of writes" and "lots of concurrent writes". "Lots of writes" in succession without heavy concurrency support is just fine for desktop/mobile apps. It is not okay for busy webapps.

Eich stepped down even when the board asked him to stay on in some capacity. I think it had a lot more to do with losing the trust of the rank and file than a business decision related to appearances.

I've been in a place where it felt like important decisions were made not only without my input (actually fine, being a good software dev don't mean I'm a businessperson), but also where this decision wasn't subsequently communicated with me (bad, because that meant I was still working towards the previous goal).

That was well before remote work became a norm. But it is easy to fall into habits, including communication habits, that better suit one style of work than the other.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roselyne_Bachelot

Excerpt from Wikipedia : In 2009, Roselyne Bachelot French minister for health back then [ordered 94 million vaccines from Sanofi Pasteur, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and Baxter International for the French Government at a cost of 869 million euros (and an option on 34 million additional vaccines in 2010) to fight against the H1N1 influenza virus; however, less than 10% of French population (about 6 million people) had been vaccinated by the end of the winter. She later canceled over half the flu vaccines ordered to combat the virus, in an effort to head off criticism after reserving too many shots.]

This lady was pulled in the dirt for so long for this.
This episode was politically exploited, she was deemed falling for pharmaceutical lobbying, being paid on the side for ordering that many vaccines. Only in 2020 she was praised for her action.

Excerpt from Wikipedia in french : [Retrospectively, her action was judged appropriate during COVID-19 crisis, when France ran out of Masks]

There's also the unstable handling of . symbol (dot or dots) in email address before @ symbol. Gmail allows dots in email address before @ and normalizes them, so the same address with or without dots works. This leads to funny behavior such as unlimited account creation with the same email address (yes, + symbol would also work for this but that works almost everywhere and is better known) or my wife thinking she does not have an account while she does, creating a new one instead.

I read Abrash's Black book when I was in my late teens and early 20s. It offered some insights into how Carmack operated. That's what made me a fan but I thought of him as a "rockstar" rather than a professional. That's the important bit that changed over several years.

Detecting Deepfakes Through Personality Assessment
Here we are now really only going to the office if there's some collaborative work that would benefit from face-to-face. And in that you don't really need your own desk since you're probably going to be spending most of your time in a meeting room anyways.

I think there's some people still going to the office daily and I imagine they basically have their own dedicated desk at this point.
I don't think there is anything else more illogical in modern society than waking up in building A, hopping in a car and fighting traffic for an hour to get to building B just to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours (perhaps with a few minimally productive meetings here and there), then commute back to building A 8 hours later.
Building B sits empty for 16 hours a day while Building A sits empty for 10 with both being heated/cooled for 24 hours. The employee wastes 2 of their 16 available waking hours in the non-productive commute while incurring significant financial costs (lease/insurance/fuel/energy) in order to support this patently absurd activity. Similarly the employer wastes time and energy negotiating leases, re-arranging offices, purchasing AV equipment for meeting rooms in building B, etc.,etc., in addition to paying the likely enormously expensive lease itself.
The impacts on the environment, the number of hours of human life wasted in commute, the pointless buildings and associated costs to employers as well as the public infrastructure to support it (roads, trains, busses, etc.) are all incredibly wasteful. Surely, all of this could only be justified if physical presence had a dramatic impact on productivity. Yet, we cannot tell one way or the other if it actually improves outcomes.

Philips Announces CEO Succession
Straw man argument.

Of course, you can deny that the phama industry in particular has a massive influence on publications like the Lancet. After all, such publications are essential for the approval of a drug. And with multi-billion dollar projects, managers will naturally refuse to have any influence on these publications. After all, it's all about science, and the pharmaceutical industry works exclusively for the benefit of mankind. That corresponding agencies exist, which flood the community with secondary papers to make a publication appear "credible" is of course just a nasty fairy tale.

The fact that scientists defame each other as conspiracy theorists - as happened with the lab-leak theory - is of course also only in the best interests of science.

But of course you are right - in science everyone works completely selflessly and honorably hand in hand for the exclusive good of mankind.

They can do it, but it’s not guaranteed/unlikely to lead to mainstream success. Android had a multi billion dollar corporation behind it, and likely needed that to succeed.

Another Linux distro that freezes its ABI and supports commercial software distribution likely would be irrelevant until it got hundreds of millions of users, and getting there is a big challenge.
