No. Instead, several times a week, I contemplate how the decision of switching to a fully remote job with flexible hours and no stand-ups, allowing me to work at friends or other places if I want, without any unnecessary stress of missing or having to attend the early daily Mass, is working so great for me. As a result by the way, I'm way more available for my colleagues during the day, almost counter-intuitively if you don't think too much about it. This company got it so right.

Good luck, I hope you will find a way to get rid of your nightmares to at least have one less stressful ceremony to attend each day. Maybe push for abandoning stand-ups in your team or find a way to leave for greener pastures.

Please do share your funny excuses you come up with.

Humans get away with much more, such as just photographing other people's work and then selling those photographs[0]. I don't see how generating a bunch of images, selecting one, and perhaps tweaking it more is any less fair use.

Yes: fully a third of the US corn (maize) crop is wasted on fuel. Even more is wasted turning it into poison (fructose) for food additives.
This is just falsehood. Ethanol gas is a pure subsidy program. It serves no utility other than ensuring fuel quality corn gets grown.

Edit: They don't add it to the fuel because they want to. They do it because they are mandated to. Anti-knock properties are just a tiny silver lining that could be obtained through more efficient means were it not for the subsidized ethanol.
Ahh got it, thank you.
Those are the kind of things that you don't think about everyday until you actually need to think about it and go like, why isn't there a `YAML.parse()` like `JSON.parse` or similar? I need not only to import a separated library, but install it first? These things should def be in the core IMHO.
Neuroimaging: Into the Multiverse
I didn't mean they stuck around forever, but that they stuck around for much longer and much more "painfully" than we anticipated. The entire microplastics phase was probably not really anticipated when they introduced "biodegradable" plastic bags, which eventually just broke down to tiny plastic that gets on everything around it.
Why web accessibility (a11y) is important
That’s healthy. We can’t ever completely understand, but we can certainly improve with time and study.

I found that study groups at church were the most beneficial for me because I hear a lot of perspectives that never crossed my mind.

There’s also a great book call The Bible from 30,000 Feet that gives great commentary on each book.
I switched to Mikrotik from Unifi. With Unifi, I was always fighting it, with "most users do not need that, why you do?" (like site-to-site ipsec tunnel with the other side having valid dns hostname, but not fixed ip). With Mikrotik, I just set up the way I need it and it's done.

So yes, the difference is like this: https://i.redd.it/slaeayro0o061.png But in the end, it is worth it.

OpenProject and Nextcloud integrate project management and file management

Have to say you have provided an interesting idea of making some money, but it also has high potential to lose money since you have to register a ton of domains and its too much hustles, I don't want to flirt with that thing.

You could maybe load bytecode if that's a thing in javascript to avoid parsing at least, but outside of that you'd have to make sure the environment is actually the same.

For example if I define an environment variable and some script deep inside the modules folder reads that variable and does something with it. You'd need to make sure the environment is identical before everything is loaded. There are other things as well like a script defining a global (perhaps for polyfill) and it needs to load before some other script.

The Nix package manager is probably a good place to look at how this should be done. However it's all based on strict constraints and other functional principles that I don't think npm packages are anywhere near of satisfying.
Why Boot.dev is not free
To shake it up compared to other responses. I regularly integrate the PyWin32 library into work scripts. Sometimes you just need a way to automate interactions with Windows in those non-dev jobs.

The most recent was a script that parsed a financial report and generated multiple emails depending on a set of criteria. Then the user could manual review these emails and press send if everything checks out. The goal of the script was to reduce some of the menial work my financial co-worker was doing. I don't have it published on GitHub because it has some internal company info in it. But it worked cleanly, and regularly saves him hours of tedious work.

Also I highly recommend EasyGui library for those quick scripts that need user input from people who are not comfortable with a console/cmd. Helps make different types of popup windows for user input/selection with a few simple lines.
Speed might well be one.
Ah, I think it depends how you interpreted the question. I took 'new painting' to mean a copy of other painter's work.

Looking at it from your perspective(which on reflection is the right interpretation), I would say no copyright infringement assuming the 'new painting' is an original creation i.e. not a duplicate of an existing piece of art by another artist.

Plenty of people, myself included, learn creative arts by mimicking others and then developing our own style which might be similar to the artists we got our inspiration from. I think as long as it's clear that there is no duplication of the original works(for sale), then all is okay.

So if I learnt my art by mimicking Van Gogh and my new paintings are of a similar Van Gogh style, as long as they are original creations, no copyright infringement imo.
Console updates are really annoying because they insist that it happen right now, or you lose features in the game.

At least PC updates let you choose when to update, which could be right after you finish gaming that day.

Oh absolutely, just 1 or 2 moves would be more than enough to really shake things up and make players far more defensive.

Three moves are generally crushing and four is totally unplayable. There aren't many positions where four moves for your opponent won't get you checkmated.

There is general chess advice of "Give you opponent three free moves, what would they do?"

But even that advice implies those moves would be sensible moves, i.e. not just hang pieces in the intermediate moves.

Perhaps if pieces couldn't move en-prise in the intermediate moves it would be improved but I think 3 or 4 moves would still be crushing.

Even a single tempo loss is a big concession, to the point where in some opening lines players will happily sacrifice a pawn to be a tempo up with a good attack (e.g. Smith-Morra).

It feels like there are missing rules about not being able to capture in intermediate moves (or a capture ending the whole turn). Given 4 moves a queen could trivially capture three enemy pawns/pieces then move to a safe square. Even just capturing two pieces and moving to safety would be a decisive advantage.
There is enormous survivorship bias with this 'stuff was way better back in the day' argument - there have always been awful products produced, but those get replaced quickly. An awful fridge from the 1950s was replaced by the 1960s. Engineers weren't deliberately overengineering things back then out of some sense of pride, they were just worse at engineering (and material science) - some things were over-engineered, because we didn't know better ways to solve that problem, and some things were under-engineered for the same reason. I think the increased cost of labor relative to manufactured goods is a big driver of this perceived change, as nobody wants to pay a repair guy $500 to come out and fix their $500 fridge. If the fridge cost $20k we would probably still fix them and they would have a long lifetime (and the repair guy would still charge $500, like an HVAC guy), but there is almost no market for a $20k fridge when a $500 fridge is available.
Here's a question, are these shady apps necessarily worse than the village loan shark which is where the desperate turn to money otherwise? To some extent, the market for no-questions-asked risky loans is similar to gambling, drugs and prostitution, it's a perennial vice that's impossible to stamp out. Is formalizing it better than not formalizing it?

This is true, but it's on a sliding scale. I grew up in a town in Idaho, 100 miles from an interstate. I've lived in tech cities (SF, Austin) and now live in Ann Arbor. (Which, along with Chapel Hill, is basically the definition of "nicer college town.") So I've seen all sides of this.

It's true that housing isn't cheap. The difference is what you get for the cost. What I paid for my house in Ann Arbor would buy a house in Austin—but it would be a run-down, dated, small house without much in walking distance and a "who knows?" school assignment. Here in a "nicer college town," we live on more than an acre just outside town, still have top notch schools, and my wife's commute to her job at the hospital is only 10 minutes. (Far from the partying students mentioned earlier.)

Housing values are also a little more stable—a sudden tech downturn could strand you underwater in that Austin house. It takes a lot more to sap demand for housing in a university community, especially one with a big teaching hospital system. Add to that the value of a town having a demonstrated track record of caring about its schools. That doesn't grow on trees.

I guess, yes: housing prices are high. Certainly when you compare to towns like the one where I grew up. But if you compare to urban areas and high-end suburbs, then the value-for-money trade is way better, even in really nice college towns.

FWIW, I loved Iowa City when we were looking, and that probably would have been an even better money-for-value trade. Wife is a medical resident, so we were picking based on more than just lifestyle, and landed in Michigan.
Yeah seems like it's all over the place, but certainly doesn't seem like the city is doing its job when there are multiple break-ins in short period of time of 1 property.

Deno already analyzes the entire module graph before the application starts up, so we extract out the npm specifiers ahead of time, do the npm dependency analysis, cache any packages as needed, then start execution.

Off-campus housing often looks cheaper, but that's because you're often comparing apples to oranges. As you mention, the age of the property and how well it's been maintained often varies significantly. But most places you rent off-campus don't include utilities. --That old house in the Midwest or Northeast might look cheap compared to on-campus housing in August, but your electricity and gas bills in the fall and winter will quickly change your calculations.

Another thing to keep in mind is that, on average, students living on campus have higher GPAs, are less likely to drop out, are more likely to finish on time, feel a greater sense of social belonging, and are more likely to participate in extracurricular activities. Those benefits need to be factored in as well. There have been a number of studies about this, here's a summary of one of them: https://studentlife.uoregon.edu/student-success-and-housing-....

When it comes to meal plans, if you have your own kitchen then yes, you definitely CAN eat cheaper, but I don't know many college students who actually spend much time planning their meals, buying in bulk, and actually cooking the majority of their meals from scratch. Realistically they end up eating a lot of frozen dinners and eating out - especially for lunch when they're on campus anyway. When I look at the school I went to, their unlimited meal plan ends up costing about $9/meal on average, which is a lot, but that's 3 hot meals a day, all you can eat, and you don't have to spend time buying the ingredients, cooking the food, and cleaning up after yourself.
They lost a lot of customers on the "you won't own the game on your disc" debacle, too. The idea that the publisher would get a portion of every resale of a game, even on disc, really pissed people off. The publisher was even able to deny the resale!

Who thought that was going to please the end user? It's so customer-hostile that I couldn't believe they said it out loud, let alone at a major conference.

Lovely to see this space continue to grow.

Despite the hate it gets, Electron is an incredible tool to be able to quickly create a decent native experience (and as someone who uses linux - I tend to get native apps with company support, which is miles ahead of where I was 10 years ago).

I'm glad to see folks playing around with the native installed webviews - now that MS is all in on webview2, this feels like a good solution to some of the bloat required by locking a chromium version in electron.

Slightly more likely to hit compatibility issues across machines, but for most apps not using cutting edge apis - not too much of a concern.
While companies are required to report certain financial numbers, they don't necessarily need to break down sales of specific products within subdivisions.

In other words, Microsoft may be required to report revenue from their gaming division, but that doesn't mean they're required to specifically report how many Xbox One consoles were sold.

Advocate now. This is arguably the most important regulation review the USGOV will conduct in the next few years, here's why:

- It is a national security issue. Foreign actors can exploit this data to perform highly targeted attacks on individuals at scale.

- It will be an issue for you as a senior. We will all get old, and our ability to detect, ignore and counter misuses of this data declines with age.

- Its an anti-monopoly issue. Much of this data is concentrated and sequestered in large companies. Small businesses, responsible for most employment in the US, cannot afford and is not aware of the availability of this data.

- Privacy should be a human right. I know there is push-back to this argument, but seniors aside, many young adults (and some plain old adults) simply are not aware and not capable of understanding the data they are giving up, how it is (mis)used, and what that means for them.

I hope all of us will engage with this form and provide comments.

From Wikipedia:

> Due to the phasing out of MTBE as a gasoline additive and mainly due to the mandates established in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, ethanol blends have increased throughout the United States, and by 2009, the ethanol market share in the U.S. gasoline supply reached almost 8% by volume

and

> In the U.S. MTBE has been used in gasoline at low levels since 1979, replacing tetraethyllead (TEL) as an antiknock (octane rating) additive to prevent engine knocking.[15] Oxygenates also help gasoline burn more completely, reducing tailpipe emissions and dilute or displace gasoline components such as aromatics (e.g., benzene). Before the introduction of other oxygenates and octane enhancers, refiners chose MTBE for its blending characteristics and low cost.

It is a farm subsidy program, but it also has an actual use. Oil companies went with lead in the first place, despite being well aware of the dangers, because ethanol is also a competitor to gasoline, being a fuel itself.

Do you like such a privileged life that you can't imagine a government or adversary using knowledge about your finances against you? Do you think Russians trying to help friends and family should be restricted from doing so because Putin says so?
Fair enough. In my defense, I've had the same can for almost 40 years, use it judiciously, and guesstimate that it's kept at least a couple of thousand US$ worth of electronics in service that would otherwise have needed expensive repairs or, worse, been disposed of and replaced by new stuff, with all of the environmental consequences those entail. But I will explore alternatives, and I see that there's a new version of the product (Chemtronics Electro-Wash) that doesn't have CFCs. Thanks for the nudge!
Are you happy with the latency?

The wired buffer bloat screenshot seems quite high to me at 53 ms. Not sure if it's router or something else related. Have you tried connecting directly through the modem?

In my setup, FTTH of the GPON variety (1000/400), I get around 5 ms latency on the buffer bloat page. My old FTTC setup (1000/60, fiber to the curve + COAX through the building) was around 8.

My setup is GPON box -> managed switch -> Router (virtualized on KVM with pass-through NICs) -> managed switch (again) -> 2nd managed switch -> PC.
Thanks. Any plans for supporting monorepos of first party NPM packages that teams already have?
Excellent point - also in a way when you use AWS your end product would be in itself a rebranding of existing tech.

Maybe this was a silly question after all - is there something more “complete” that can be rebranded legally ?
I've switched to Mikrotik, for routing and switching. With wifi, Mikrotik still doesn't have good AX offer, so I kept nanoHDs for the time being.

It is more complex, you have to get used to Winbox, but after that, there's no way back to Unifi. There are no dashboards that look nice in screenshots, but on the other hand, the stats provided make sense.

But wrt firmware issues, Mikrotik also has occasional one.
