I'm no expert, but I'll try to take a stab at your second paragraph! There is value in having someone there to remind the leader that they are a "Servant" and not the "Master" in a state. The King (and by extension his viceregal representatives in Canada) is the steward of the power, and lends it to whoever the people choose via democratic elections through our constitution. When a new Prime Minister is chosen through election, the transition of power is made safer in that the previous Prime Minister does not "own" that power. I know this sounds floaty, but we live in a relatively stable country where transitions of power have traditionally been without great anxiety - arguably because we have a head of state, but even assuming not, this is why we don't dwell on these kind of concerns.

Another reason is the relationship between the King with our Federal & Provincial governments as well as First Nations. With a head of state, all three are able to have a direct relationship with the head of state without being subservient to one. King Charles is the premiers' boss, not Trudeau. Indigenous people have a special relationship with the crown that similarly avoids placing them directly under the other two bodies entirely. It means all three have a certain sense (and reality) of being peers - Trudeau cannot sack Ford, and vice versa.

Sort of related to my first point, but while the King limits himself extraordinarily via the binds of a constitution, the relationship works both ways. It is his duty to make sure that the elected leaders are fulfilling their duties to form government and not violate the law just because they are the ones on top.

In theory, the head of state is also meant to represent the nation outside of party lines - someone that left, right, and everyone else can support. It would be impossible for a staunch conservative to truly count Trudeau as "his" Prime Minister, or a liberal to count on Harper as a leader he could possibly respect. Not everyone has to like the head of state, but everyone has the option without betraying their other beliefs. I think Canada has sadly in recent years done this poorly - while loved, the Queen has been largely seen as a novelty, a nice decoration on a shelf.

I hope this helps somewhat. It's a weird nebulous subject that deals with questions that often settled long before our time and so arent intuitive at times after living under them so long. Happy to elaborate further - I'm a boring plain-old constitutional monarchist, but I know I'm in the minority these days :)

Observe the variety of things that happen when individual instances of cognition are criticized, and consider whether some of them may introduce limitations into The System.

A positive integer has an infinite number of leading zeroes, and a negative integer in two's complement has an infinite number of leading ones.

On the machine level, you have registers of limited width, and there are usually instructions that sign-extend a shorter integer by setting all the high bits to '1' if it is negative.

By convention, the highest bit indicates the sign, but mathematically it's "arithmetic modulo 2^n", and any value can be interpreted as both positive and negative. For example, a 4 bit register containing '0111' would normally be interpreted as decimal 7, but could also represent -9.

Lisp - like many other interpreted languages - uses arbitrary precision integers, so while not infinite they can be very large.

I think it's worth noting that when we talk about a system operating on a set of components, it literally means a function which either reads and creates new components or entities or mutates existing components.

Most "things" don't exist in ECS. There's no singular "Mario" or "gravity". If you feel like you ought to split it into multiple identifiers for your systems (for example, treating each part of Mario like a different sprite), then you do so.

The hardest part of ECS IMO, is that dependencies between systems are super loosely defined since it's meant to be modular and the dependencies can only be tracked by components. The semantics of ECS systems are also highly technical (do you have hard sync points, how do you deal with recursive entities etc...) which means it can be quite fiddly to work with.

I had put some thought on this and my hunch was that consuming younger plants and/or animals means fewer "forever chemicals" getting accumulated in the body.

However, that doesn't disprove the hypothesis that DNA can survive the digestive tract. If this [1] is to be believed, it very much does so. The question is, can epigenetic information / ie folds, survive?

> How is that possible? Assuming all things are equal AOT should always be better.

The primary thing here is that the hotter the code path the more optimized your code will be using a JIT (albeit compiled with a compiler which is slower) which is impossible with AOT (since we have a static binary compiled with -O2 or -O3 and that's it) also Java can take away the virtual dispatch if it finds a single implementation of interface or single concrete class of an abstract class which is not possible with c++ (where-in we'll always go thru the vtable which almost always resolves to a cache miss). So c++ gives you the control to choose if you want to pay the cost and if you want to pay the cost you always pay for it, but in java the runtime can be smart about it.

Essentially it boils down to runtime vs compile time optimizations - runtime definitely has a richer set of profiles & patterns to make a decision and hence can be faster by quite a bit.
> I don't see how people don't depend on work for some level of social interaction. How can one want to spend 1/3 of their life not giving a fuck about the people they work with?

This seems to be setting up a false dichotomy.

On the one hand, you have someone saying people "don't depend entirely on work for their social life".

On the other hand, you are saying, "how can you manage if you care nothing for your coworkers".

There's quite a lot of room between those.

I think there's also a big difference between expecting people to get all or most of their social interaction from work, and making sure that any remote members of the team have a good digital social environment with their coworkers—a strong presence on some kind of real-time text chat system (Discord, Slack, IRC, etc), regular not-entirely-serious email exchanges, whatever works for your groups.

The problem comes when you've got an organization that's been 100% in-person for its entire existence and neither knows nor cares how to actually support people when things go remote.

I'm sure they are capable of making any kind of four-wheeled vehicle but there's the question of brand image to consider. The Lexus LFA, for example, didn't take off as a supercar because the Lexus brand is associated with golf-playing upper-management types. Why would Rolls want it's image associate with a hearse when the whole world is watching? Would be better to make a one-off brand of hearse that didn't have the Rolls brand anywhere near it.

(Besides, Rolls is a division of BMW at this point so what would the difference be between having a Mercedes vs. Rolls hearse?)

That seems to be the trend in suburbs too - a sort of planned development with single family homes and a denser "main street" area with commercial on the ground floor and condos or professional offices above. Some have apartment buildings alongside too. Sometimes there is a movie theater, library, or community space mixed in as well.

Most of the commercial space is either restaurants/food or service places like hair salons, dry cleaners, etc. Very little in the way of retail stores. Mostly as the occasional Target/Walmart/etc. big retailer nearby. This seems to be the assumption for single professionals/married without kids demographic: more dining, but buying things is mostly online or big box general retail stores.
All that said, I think one of the issues is that the idea of a full self-driving vehicle is put front and center. It's a double-edged sword because working towards that goal may be admirable but thinking it's attainable is foolhardy.

I see automation as certainly being helpful to drive down the costs of transportation. But, IMHO it should be understood that we'll never be able to remove human judgement completely.

This is something I think about a lot now that I’m working remote and have decided to move to a remote (near family) location to complete the transformation.

I keep wondering what will happen if I move and then my company starts the RTO talk. Well, sure, there are more remote companies, but what if they jump on board with RTO?

I’m going along with the assumption that I’m remote forever, but it gives me anxiety having to make life decisions on shaky foundations.

Then let's not - death to irregular HTML and let the era of lean browsers begin !

Yes, I know, Martian Headsets (https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2008/03/17/martian-headsets/) - but considering how much of a contemporary web browser is about supporting irregular markup and other grandfathered hacks, deliberately scoping them out is an exciting approach to a possible non-RFC793 compliant future. Won't fly with mass market, but worth exploring by people who don't care about the mass market - and the marketing will come later, once someone with no money and a device to ship figures out how fast such browser can be with ridiculously low resources !
That's because, in the US, the Executive Branch is vested in the singular person known as the President. The Cabinet is an optional body comprised of the heads of the various Departments of the Federal government. The Secretaries are confirmed by the Senate, but every other member of the Executive Branch serves at the pleasure of the President.

I don't think you can be a Cabinet member and a member of Congress. As Cabinet members are officers of the United States and you cannot hold another office while also being a member of Congress (Article 1, Section 6).

It's also why the Presidential Succession Act may be unconstitutional. As the Constitution specifies that only an officer may be designated a successor and members of Congress are explicitly excluded from being officers.

Even if we assume that is true, mozilla has already a mobile version that not only works very well but allows for things that the mobile chrome doesn't, the idea that a reskinned chromium would work better than firefox itself is...weird.
There are two relevant phone OS's and they're owned by google and apple, both companies have their own browsers, firefox will never get wide default usage on phones regardless of the quality of their mobile browser, which I already believe to be extremely competitive.

There is no winning going down this road for Mozilla other than maybe going the firefox phone route, and we all saw how that went.

I think hybrid is best for new teams. People need time to bond and actually trust each other. People are wired to be friendly with people they are physically close to and spend lots of time around. I think it'd take far longer to do this remotely and would lose spontaneity, camaraderie, etc. I think initially 3-days a week in-office would help during these forming & norming stages, perhaps for the first 6-8 weeks or so. Once teams have formed and normed, they could go remote and I think be quite effective if there's a good dynamic.

Also, for team meetings I think it's easier to get peoples' attention in the office. Large video calls just don't work well IME. They're so unengaging, so it's more difficult for leaders to be inspiring and charismatic on video calls.

As a fellow Canadian, I genuinely ask 'why'? I'm neither in favour or opposed to removing the monarchy but I'm wondering why we would? Is our country being held back in some way from having the monarchy? Is it just because of the cost, the pomp and circumstance? I suspect there are benefits to having the monarchy as head of state, what happens when we lose them?

I'd love to see Jann Arden on the one dollar coin, but just wondering why? :)
As a younger developer, I agree with you. I've heard of Subversion & Fossil before but know practically nothing about them. By the time I hit the stage of learning version control in my development as a programmer, there was no questioning git would be what I would learn, any discussion I saw of other version control systems was written with a tone that suggested they were antiques to no longer be used. Sort of how psych majors learn about Freud for the historical significance but don't actually use his theories anymore.

Variety is good. New browsers with new engines are good (though I think an announcement like this without any pre-built binaries for normies to download is a bit premature). I say this as a web developer who well remembers the IE6 struggles of yesteryear - but also fears the Chrome monoculture of tomorrow. UI differences between web pages are annoying, especially when they break things like scrolling and selecting, I agree, but the answer isn't to creatively flatten what the web can be, Big Brother-style.

As for Instagram, well, perhaps you should consider making a back-up of your own photos before you entrust them to a service owned by a company whose sole profit model is taking your content and putting ads next to it.

I generally work on a single feature over many commits. Sometimes I need to leave the thing half finished, so commit as is with a nice commit message detailing the state.

At other time I make "transfer commits" since I'll continue development on another machine and need the latest snapshot of the code to continue.

Not all features fit into a single new function, we need to move mountains to rearrange stuff, and to keep code tidy.

As long as the commit messages are clear, and the code works at the end, it's alright.

The Monarch has no power to force an opinion but that is not the point. Having a safe and secret place for a PM to discuss difficult situations with somebody who has probably seen most of them before is immensely powerful.

I know some believe that all government should be open/public but I suspect in many cases that means that real discussions don't take place out of fear of offence or backlash from the public. If you were toying with the idea of e.g. privatising the NHS or selling off a load of gold for raising funds, you might want to discuss these privately before they end up as a Headline.

Your experiences are not universal.

This is definitely not true of most "tech employees" I have known personally or heard from—at least if your "day or two" is intended to mean "day or two a week" or even "day or two a month".

Maybe it's true in Silicon Valley, but please try to remember that Silicon Valley does not employ even close to all the "tech employees" in the country (let alone the world).
