I've been looking at something like this for ages. Thanks, Daniel!
Yeah, That makes sense. All those PE partners raising up the average.
Personally I have just discovered the Register this year, and I like them a lot.

I have seen how the old style was, yes it different, but I wouldn't say its a run of the mill IT website.

Its reporting is pretty good, and they have good opinion pieces, like intel optane possible revolution for IT(1), tracking obfuscation by big tech (2) and safari WebKit limiting mobile web (3) articles.

There are other website like InfoWorld, which produced articles like how docker broke in half, however their website is annoying, and in general less focus on FOSS/Linux.

Are you trying to say web assembly is not well documented, or are you commenting on the state of tooling? It seems to me that most compiled languages can target wasm these days (eg c, c++, zig, rust, go, .net)

The specifications are open and detailed [1]. Specifications like that can be daunting to consume if you want a place to start from instead of a complete overview of the landscape, but there are tutorials in pure web assembly if you want to get started.

You're very active! Even so, I wouldn't think the IF itself was the problem, probably you were having trouble eating enough for your level of activity with such a regimen.

About bloodwork, I believe you're mistakingly conflating insulin and blood sugar. Blood sugar may vary in such a way, but it's just a proxy because insulin is so hard to measure.

But more to the point, I wasn't referring to intermittent fasting solely, I believe even longer fasting periods are required. Regardless, even IF is a far cry from what the average person does.

I also disagree that fasting is not a panacea. It's a close to one as we have. I don't think this is a subject I'm likely to convince skeptics in a comment, so I will simply say interested people will find reputable resources on the subject, including striking anecdotes published by fasting clinics (of which, for some reason, Germany has a few that publish material on YouTube).
> "Republicans felt that residents of the least socially protective states should not indirectly fund the welfare state and the spending implemented by Democrats in the coastal states."

Perhaps they "felt" that way, but the reality is that tax money generally flows from these coastal states to the red states. If anything, one could argue that SALT was a tool to help balance that out.
So are there any parts of the world that will benefit from global warming? Canadian and Russian wilderness?
> The counterpoint to this is if you aren't specifically assigned tasks you're basically expected to go through the backlog to hunt for things to do. In most companies the backlog is never empty and so you don't really get any time for any of these ancillary tasks.

Yea, instead of thumb twiddling, just go fix some bugs! Every company I've ever worked at had 1. more bugs than could ever be fixed and 2. had an incoming bug rate faster than the team's fix rate, therefore the bug count perpetually grew. Some of these could be long standing bugs that annoy actual users that just perpetually get ignored by the company. Go fix one and make someone's day.

There is no such thing as a Software Engineer with nothing to do. When I read HN comments from software engineers who say things like "yawn, my work fits into about 6 hours a week, and the remaining 34 hours I just take it easy, maybe work on a side project, maybe horse around on Facebook..." my mind boggles! Where do you work where there are no bugs in the backlog to fix??

If there are really no bugs to fix, maybe look into cleaning up the code base. Turn a few compiler warnings on or run the static analyzer and go looking for trouble. Re-factor that gnarly part of the code that's always tripped up new employees. Add unit tests. Add integration tests. Automate some part of the build. Maybe work on a nicer bug dashboard.
That tweet is 3 years old. Web Components weren't ready for prime time a few years ago. Google has the Lit framework is using it in Angular. Web Components are here to stay. I'd like to know what Rich Harris thinks about Web Components today. Microsoft just released their Web Component frame work:

The adaptive interface system for modern web experiences. Interfaces built with FAST adapt to your design system and can be used with any modern UI Framework by leveraging industry standard Web Components. Standards-based Web Components are the foundation of each FAST component, making them compatible with almost any modern web framework, including those listed below.

No. iPhones are dominant enough in the US that most people communicate over iMessage, or SMS if you're the one guy stuck on Android.

This is the reason I haven't switched to Android—so it has worked on me at least.

Had four or five pairs replaced due to this issue. The most recent repair seems to have fixed the issue, but the noise cancellation is noticably worse than the launch set. On the bright side, it was nice getting a pair with refreshed batteries back each time.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you mean about "linkability", but when I'm writing up something on Notion, I'm able to refer to specific elements of a Figma drawing and have the preview rendered right there in Notion. As far as I'm aware, it also updates along with the Figma drawing.
I disagree with the premise, but if you really think changing the default is so hard, that seems like FF's fault, not Google's.
This is a fantastic idea not simply because of saving money, but also to keep work at work. Too often people slack after hours expecting an immediate response. Someone where I work recently went so far as to uninstall slack from their phone so they could have a proper vacation.
How is it possible to be so wrong on so many levels in just two sentences?

1. Your epistemic reasoning capabilities are broken (as in, why do you think people should know better?)

2. You are just adopting an ad-hoc philosophy based on how shells work. If interactive languages had separate text inputs instead of just parsing a stream of text from stdin, pasting would always be safe. One may be tempted to call this "UN*X braindamage".

3. You appear to possibly believe in checking a URL before opening it type voodoo as well, regardless of shell issues
> You seem very angry at the idea that planet might be saved or that people may have access to good paying jobs.

No, my concern is that climate change has become a new vehicle for ideas with a poor track record. I worry that the economy will stagnate and people won't have access to good paying jobs, and the planet won't be saved anyway.

I would find it much more natural to have both expand/collapse and upvote/downvote on the left, simply because text is left-aligned.

I find any functionality pushed all the way to the right side to be harder to use, simply because it's not "together" with everything else on the left. Your eye has to do more work to match right-side content to left-side across a whitespace.
No, individuals did this one. For his part, Cheney spent his time pressuring analysts f2f for the desired outputs.
What if the “cause” is deeper than your influence can reach? What if addressing the “cause” is a multi-year endeavor?

Do you send the idiosyncratic team member home and forgo what they’d otherwise bring, or do you adapt your process to make the most of the team you have?

It’s great to have ideals to reference, but you miss a lot when you hold onto them as rules.

Also, locking all phones to Verizon forcing people to use ATT or T-Mobile if they wanted to use other SIMs during international travel.

It is the primary reason I never even considered buying Verizon service.
Yes I agree.. And there are so many benefits I've found -

- More time and freedom to work on my creative project.
- Have more time for my family
- Connect with people from across the world.

It's totally worth it, but can be hard for some people, that's why I think they need to focus on these 5 questions.
I think the more even-handed criticism of Amazon would be this: they're a highly process driven company. Practically the definition of "process over people". There are certain types of people who thrive in that environment. The people I've seen be successful there are either people who successfully disassociate their working lives from their personal lives or who are engineers with high technical ability but lacking social skills.

Highly motivated people who always go the extra mile get exploited and burnt out. Kind people get their kindness taken advantage of and it sours their view of the world. At least that's what I've seen from the outside.

The bigger problem I have with the company is the types of managers that environment creates. The primary function of a manager at Amazon as far as I can tell is to enforce process and the secondary function is to maximize output of the people reporting to them.

Empathy is actually a disadvantage in this type of role and it selects for all sorts of what I would consider adverse behaviors among managers. The "leadership" principals relate to actual leadership as a jellyfish relates to Smucker's. Look up Google's project oxygen findings if you want a comparison.

I personally doubt I'll ever hire someone who learned engineering management at Amazon unless they've been sufficiently detoxified in a different company.
It can run Doom, in other words, but Doom can't be played upon it.
That article isn't too convincing since they claim that most of the reason for Texas having a higher effective rate for lower income is sales and excise tax - but the sales tax is 9% in California and 6.25% in TX (~8% with local taxes), not to mention gasoline taxes, etc.

Property taxes are higher, but housing prices are lower in TX than CA. From what I've seen they are a bit of a wash (tax rate is double, but housing prices are 50% or less).

And in the methodology section it says "The report also includes the effect of indirect consumption taxes: the sales and excise taxes that are paid initially by businesses rather than individuals". So it looks like they assumed those taxes are passed through to consumers when in fact they aren't, at least not 100%.

They also exclude all tax payers over 65.

As GP comment said, there has been innovation in the electrical engineering space that maintains backward compatibility.

So if Open/LibreOffice could actual deal well with MS Office formats, for example, whilst removing the annoying bits (cost, telemetery, UI[0]), then yes, it might be wise to move on from the status quo.

Tax is just one part of the cost of living picture. A couple percent state income tax difference isn't really a big deal with the feds take a much bigger cut but when you consider the long tail of $6 gas, sin taxes on your smokes, tax on prepared food, government fees, etc, taxes can add up to a noteworthy fraction of said picture.

Everyone pastes into their terminal, but you do have to be pretty naive to ever paste something blindly into your terminal (full depth of understanding of each mechanics isn't a requirement but basic understanding of high-level obvious components of the line being pasted should absolutely be).

Probably not the place to ask, but some of you might find this interesting enough to take pity on me.

I had an idea years back to build crosswords on the surface of a truncated icosahedron (https://i.imgur.com/qlLl434.jpg) but I had no idea how to find sets of 5-letter words that would mesh like that. A very clever programmer friend of mine whipped something up in Perl over a weekend using hashes. Basically it pre-emptively runs through the dictionary and hashes all wildcard forms of a word back to the original word (l...s->leaks, etc), then at each stage of filling out the puzzle it just grabs the list of words that hash to the current pattern. Say you're looking for something that fits s..p. it would return [stops, swept, soupy] etc, then tries each recursively. If the list is empty, there is no solution at that level so it backs up and tries the next word at the previous level.

I learned enough Perl to be able to make the code able to accept different polyhedra. The program takes quite a while to run on larger models, like say the rhombicosidodecahedron, so I've been looking for ways to speed it up. My background is with assembly and embedded C so I'm sure my implementation of these hash lookups would be slower than Perl's. Are there any other, maybe compiled, languages that have fast hash lookups like this?
I clicked on it expecting effusive praise of SOAP. Disappointed to find it's still only me, there must be tens of us who like it.

While pay taxes is a pain, having a society where people pay different property tax rates creates many problems. Imagine not wanting to move near your new job because your monthly property tax bill would double. Many of California's problems are related to prop 13. At least they recently removed the provision that you could pass your low property taxes down to your children and grand children. We were building up a nice landed aristocracy. Corporations, of course, can live for a very long time and are also covered by prop 13.
I think the SE thread mentions that he’s paid by the hour. Which for someone like Bob is quite a poor way to manage them!
The problem with this reasoning is that it depends on mis-modeling the government. Doing so is intrinsic - the argument is that market effects caused by government action is different than that caused by other market actors. The usual reason given is that government action is not "voluntary", for definitions of voluntary that don't model reality very well.[1]

The reality is that various market participants have powers the others don't. One can argue that the law treats me and Goldman Sachs the same. (I'd also argue that's false, but at least there is a kernel of a case there.) But nobody can argue with a straight face that I have the capabilities to make the same bets. Repeat in thousands of different ways for different actors.

Similarly, the government has special powers that others don't. Indeed, if you treat "government" as a monolithic entity, it is certainly the most powerful actor. But it it just another actor. (Or rather a number of different actors in different contexts, sometimes fighting with each other.)

When your simplifying assumptions don't work, you have two choices. Change your model or complain about reality. The Austrian school has made a philosophy out of the second.

[1] The idea that choosing to feed your kids is a voluntary act but choosing to pay your taxes is not runs contrary to most peoples' moral intuition.
I only heard this anecdotally, but I understand that "alternative" folks and lifestyles were intentionally curated in the early years.
Phew, only those two things? How about not being able to copy stuff from chat (for some reason this does not work since Skype for Business times)? How about being kicked off from the current chat if one dares to open MS Word/Excel from within the chat? And that's just the beginning of the annoyance.

But, luckily, we can easily integrate our chat with MS Stocks application, and, even better, with MS Power BI!

I have always impression that MS employees cannot use Teams, otherwise they would have noticed that something gone really wrong here. On the other hand, those are people who gave the World the (in)famous Windows Millennium Edition, so everything is possible.

Nobody’s goal is to warm the planet. Not even the most evil, mustache twirling capitalist wants to the worst of the global warming predictions come to light.

Big change has to come from the bottom up. If the electorate doesn’t ask for changes to be made, politicians aren’t going to make them. Now that climate is a political left/right issue, it’s even less likely for meaningful change to happen. The right seems to have forgotten how much of our existing environmental protections were put in place by Republican administrations (especially Nikon’s).
I had a similar issue. I really think that it is cheaper for them to write things off, than to receive replacements.

I had an item shipped from China, and it arrived a day past when it was due (actually, it arrived in the late evening of the due date, so I guess you could say it "arrived as scheduled").

In any case, on arrival day, it had not arrived, so I sent in a complaint, and it was refunded immediately (Amazon is actually really good for that).

The problem was, it arrived, and I wanted to rescind the refund.

That's where things got complicated. After trying various things, Amazon finally just told me to keep the item (and the refund).

In point of fact, I felt bad, because I know it was a low-margin mom and pop store (albeit Chinese mom and pop). I don't think it was one of those massive "fraud factories."

But it was actually impossible to return the money.
Life like (cherry 2000 type) robot or 50's Sci Fi bot? Depending on the type my answer would be the same as others have posted... Plus a GF replacement. I dislike standard household chores but it's tolerable because the rules for completing the chores remain the same. I cannot say the same about a dating and interpersonal relationships. With a robot to replace that the rules could remain fairly consistent.
> Cats are amazing creatures.

This is it. It makes me so sad seeing online people claiming cats are vengeful, aggressive, selfish animals. Cats have a huge variety of personality and so, yes, some of them are vengeful, aggressive and/or selfish. However, once an average cat trusts you there is a very special kind of bond between you guys that I only experienced with a long term human partner. Cats are amazing, amazing creatures. Obviously I don't know what's going inside my cat's brain, whether he actually experiences what we label "love", but his behavior is oftentimes consistent with it. Every morning I wake up my cat next to me and I feel so lucky to have experienced a cat's love in my lifetime. I'm so thankful to our neolithic ancestors to have domesticated and introduced these quirky, lovely little mammals in our lives.

Engineering Notes. Do You Have Them?
Intelligence has almost nothing to do with productivity. For example, who's more productive:

Engineer #1, spends 30 hours in a week flawlessly moving an important backend service to a completely new framework, adding complete test coverage, impeccably clean code, clear, readable documentation, and who even gets accolades from their peers for their work.

Engineer #2, spends 2-3 hours reading the code and the code of the dependent services, talks to a few non-development teams about how they use the service, and determines that the backend service never needed to exist, and with a small business process change that will save $1MM a year, convinces a director to nix the entire project.

Engineer #2 was more productive. But to an outside observer, and especially so to highly intelligent, highly productive engineer, #2 will get a massive amount of hate. Since the productive worker archetype almost always focuses on how the work is valuable to them but has a limited sense of direction on how it is valuable to others.
