It has been quite popular in my circles, but then I have a disproportionate concentration of British-empire immigrants and IT folks in my circles, so... Maybe?
I've actually had a pretty good experience with Teams (and I generally have a lot of bad stuff to say about MS).

I used it in the browser with Linux and it wasn't great. But on a mac it is fine and I haven't experienced any real problems.

What if you burn some ETH on gas fees while interacting with a contract? Is that considered "sold"? Can you write it off as a loss? Does that contribute to wash-sale limits? People like to jump to analogs because it's easier to make sense of, but maybe we just need a new treatment of crypto altogether?
The author failed to mention which regions these tests were run. GPU availability can vary depending on the regions that were tested for both Cloud providers.
There were only two series of the UK version made, and a lot of it was unscripted or loosely scripted and a lot of improv on Ricky Gervais's part.

The first two series of the US edition of The Office was kind of uncomfortable because it was essentially the scripting and acting of what was previously improvised. I hear the 3rd series onwards was better received in part because it was originally written for the US audience, it was never made for the UK audience, and it wasn't improv'd.
I think you're talking about their model in "Inferring the MRCA of SARS-CoV-2", and I'm talking about their model in "Separate introductions of lineages A and B"? So you're saying they don't use the epi simulations to root and build the phylogenetic tree of real sampled genomes, which is true. I'm saying they do use the epi simulations to build a phylogenetic tree for each simulated pandemic, whose shape (polytomy structure) they then compare against the real tree:

> We simulated SARS-CoV-2–like epidemics (22, 23) with a doubling time of 3.47 days [95% highest density interval (HDI) across simulations, 1.35 to 5.44] (24–26) to account for the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 before it was identified as the etiological agent of COVID-19 (figs. S21 and S22, tables S3 and S4, and supplementary text). We then simulated coalescent processes and viral genome evolution across these epidemics to determine how frequently we recapitulated the observed SARS-CoV-2 phylogeny.

Coverage of this paper in the popular press usually said something like "study finds that SARS-CoV-2 arose from two introductions into humans", so I thought the latter was the more important result and started there. Like in your second link, Worobey says:

> [...] We then go on the explain, point by point, that it is not a two-mutation difference that is unexpected. It is a two mutation difference between two large clades like lineage A and lineage B, each displaying a MASSIVE polytomy at their root. This is something that [sic] DO NOT see in ~99.5% of simulations. That is the crux of the paper. Not the idea that two mutations can't happen in a single transmission event.

Are those "simulations" not the SIR-type epi simulations (followed by simulation of the mutations and sampling, then construction of the tree)? I believe his 99.5% is 100% minus the 0.5% from Figure 2C.

Their former model is of course independent of their SIR stuff, and indeed purports to independently establish tMRCA in humans too recent for significant cryptic spread. It carries a different set of plausible but arbitrary assumptions though, again about the stochasticity/overdispersion and sampling rate of early spread, just less directly.
I recommend Kindle for its eInk display at 300 dpi, as well as the use of a 'fairly free' text format (MOBI) which has been around for years, and the capability to use PDFs as well.

I advise against the use of the Kindle because the biggest drawback of Kindle's small screen-size (9 x 12 cm = 3.5 x 5 inches) is that, while it lends itself well to reading ordinary old fiction stuff, it is not good enough or large enough for reading non-fiction stuff that has diagrams or photos or maps.

What would be better is an eInk high-dpi light-weight device that is large enough for use by tech readers. Probably twice the surface area of the Kindle would be a good compromise. That means the screen dimensions of that device would be roughly 13.5 x 18 cm. (roughly 5.5 x 7 inches)
An enterprise chromeos device (usually the higher end ones fall into this category) can run windows via parallels, web pages via the chrome browser, linux CLI and GUI apps via crostini, and android apps with google play support. Out of the box without any major modifications. Which Linux distribution offers that amount of functionality out of the box?
Most of the comments here are about law enforcement. I would like to point out that it might be a boon for dictation software. This may make it easier to dictate text/code etc. in any environment.

It pains me to see #include <olive.c> at the top of the file. It makes the project feel like a toy.
With a plastic blade? Yah, you can. The plastic is very light and has very little momentum behind it, despite the speed.

I calculated that a 20" box, 1000rpm fan blade moves at around 50 mph. Those large ones might hit pretty hard but will not cause serious injury.

I think he's talking about a small 8 inch desktop model, going maybe 500rpm - that's only 7mph.
That's the idea. It's not unreasonable that such an organization that simply takes deposits and provides some service _could_ exist without losing money (after all, that's the fundamental premise of banks), it's whether they followed through on their promise or managed it poorly and no longer have 100% backing.
"then it won't be ice anymore". Not so: the freezing point is the temperature at which ice and water are in equilibrium. If you take a bowl of ice to its freezing point it will still be entirely frozen. Then if you continue adding energy, it will remain at its freezing point while progressively more of it melts, i.e. going from 100% ice to 50% ice/50% water to 100% water. All at one temperature. In other words, if you are at the freezing point, then all of the energy you add goes to melting the ice (and none of it goes to increasing the temperature), until all of the ice is gone. That is the case even if you wait to true equilibrium, e.g. for all temperature gradients to go away.
It's hot garbage. The question is, why are you using garbage?
I agree. I actually didn’t fully enjoy the British version of the office (Gervasi wasn’t my taste), but the US version was brilliant.

It really chocked me as I can’t think of many remakes that are better than the original.

I think original IT Crowd is perfect and should be left that way.
Not at all. There's a cadre of people who enjoy British television programming in America, but they don't count. I'd estimate that the number of people that have watched for example the UK office is maybe 1% or less than the people that watched the US office in the US.
Yet another reason why I drive 20 yo cars and have zero interest in buying anything new.

> That said, as a shareholder, watching Google and FB's headcount soar over the last 5-10 years to stratospheric numbers, they have to have a point where they sit down and take a hard look at what everyone is doing and be realistic about whether the projects make sense.

As an employee, shareholders have to remember that sometimes stock prices go down, instead of hoping for cost cutting via layoffs.

Shareholders have had it good for a long time, especially during covid, with stock prices higher now then before the pandemic. Time to pay back karma.
To be fair, people who spend a lot of time customising vim (eg embedding a terminal, building half an IDE) seems to be very much the target market for neovim.

I use regular vim because I don't want to think about my editor, I just want it to work.
Sorry, why does it make the project feel like a toy? I'm not trying to argue, I just don't understand. Is it because you're including a source file instead of a header file?
Is there a 'limits' doc somewhere? how many objects can an array hold? what is the depth limit for nested data?

I started a new job and decided to go all in on using o365, including keeping notes in onenote. They’re launching a new version next month and I’m hoping that things go in the right direction and they keep the features i’ve just started to use.
That was a bugged me the most.

I get that they were lazy and stuck with the exact same script, but they clearly watched the other actors in the original episode, and then just copy that, too, just low effort all around.

They're a powerful tool that lets you shopt off your foot and half your brains with the same bullet. However, this my router isn't compromised. MikroTik routers can easily be misconfigured to be insecure or misbehave. It's a Cisco clone, so that is the product you're buying.

I don't recommend them to anyone who doesn't enjoy and are familiar with the lower-level intricacies of network operations.
I had issues for weeks (form the point we found there was even an issue) with some users not being able to create meetings with breakout rooms. Strangely, I also noticed their UI was different. Speaking with Microsoft support, after being elevated to engineers for a while, we found out the clients were being put into VDI mode which is used in virtualised environments and has features cut like breakout rooms (and a different UI).
No solution was offered except delete %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams and HKLM:\\Software\Microsoft\Teams on each client when this comes up.
We still have no idea how this is happening, we have Citrix Workspace installed for other purposes, but if it was that I'd expect it to affect all clients.

This has been my only real complaint in the ~8 months using the client
Or we need to stop banning words because people we don't like start using them (correctly, I might add.) It's annoying that once some people started saying that the country was run by a deep state populated by communist lizard child molesters, the reaction was to start insisting that there wasn't a deep state at all.

Maybe we can say military-industrial complex? Nice, venerable, well-established phrase, notably popularized by a president during his final words as a president.
The whole model of every type of digital media just being a license to view for some time, never perpetual, is really concerning to me. I've had movies I've "purchased" from Amazon which are no longer visible, for example, and this move by Wiley seems to be exactly the same.

Reminds me of this quote: "You will own nothing, and you will be happy"
as someone who has been using chromebooks for years, I'm really excited for this!

1. do you have any plans to provide expansion cards for ltr/5g connectivity?

Because no matter what you write in a PIP someone could turn around and sue you for it and have a good enough case to at least force a settlement. Everyone has some sort of "protected class" they are part of.

But with a layoff it's really hard to prove the layoff was targeted unless everyone in the layoff happens to be part of the same protected class.
yes but as long as there is more undissolved salt (and when making ice cream you use a lot of salt), the melting ice will continue adding pure water to be chilled/saturated with salt.

In the previous crash, even viable companies that were growing and made sense were brought close to crisis.

Currently Nikola motors is worth a few billion. In a crash they'd be dead.
I'm not convincing you of anything, I'm sharing that your definition of inflation is not the definition generally accepted.

Money supply growth is not inflation. Inflation is a broad-based reduction in purchasing power caused by any number of things. By definition.

Here's why. A 50% sales tax would be inflationary without changing the money supply. Conversely, a trillion dollar coin minted and put into a vault wouldn't have any inflationary effect whatsoever because placing it into the vault has a commensurate reduction in velocity.

The idea that 'more money' necessarily immediately means each unit is worth less doesn't stand up to any scrutiny and many counterexamples exist all over the world - and at home. Just look at Japan's monetary base expansion since the 90s [1], while inflation was dead flat zero [2].

Your model is too simplistic which is why it is not generally accepted.

In my experience most of the time sales people spend their efforts selling the engineers on the lies they told the customer rather than selling the customer on the product that already exists and creating a market for that product. This is why a lot of engineers do not like sales.
It looks like olive.c is a "single header" library. They chose a .c suffix rather than .h.

If OLIVE_IMPLEMENTATION is defined before including "olive.c", then the full implementation is produced. Otherwise, just declarations, so that it behaves like a header file.

It's a valid technique. If you have a library all in one source file, the requirement to have a separate .h doubles your file count.

One small reason to have a .c suffix is might be that your editor can then choose a more specific syntax scheme. A .h file could be C++. Another one is that it can be used as a source file. You can pop it into a Makefile project, and just make sure you have -DOLIVE_IMPLEMENTATION on the compiler command line for that file. Other files using it just include "olive.c" to get the declarations. Because it has a .c suffix, make will handle it via its .c.o rule.
I think "military–industrial complex" is the typical term.

Browser caching is nicer with service workers - you can use the cached version and load/install the updated version in the background, so that the user can get the updated version on their next refresh.
You wouldn't have look very hard to find an American who has seen Downton Abbey, Doctor Who, or Bake Off. The biggest problem keeping Americans from watching UK TV is access, not some inherent dislike or disinterest in compelling television whenever British people are involved.

A show has to be wildly popular before Americans even get the chance to be exposed to it, which really limits the amount of viewers for UK programing, but that's no reason to assume that shows have to be recast and refilmed before an appreciable number of Americans will be interested in them.

If American producers want to remake shows from the UK I wish they'd do it with panel shows. It's an entertaining genre seen in many countries that just never took off in the US. At least then they'd be more justified in bringing in American talent so guests are more recognizable.
I had a similar experience as well - though I had to constantly swap batteries…

How did you hardwire power?
You seem to be asserting all this as fact when I think it's mostly conjecture or opinion. I find it far more dehumanizing to think of people just as the product of society.
I agree for the most part except the lack of stability and resiliency. I joined a company using Teams 3 months ago and there has been at least one global outage once a month… that’s 3 more outages than I experienced with Slack for the last 2 years or more maybe?
Start asking if they use teams in job interviews and use dealing with it as a justification for higher salary.
I'd be really curious to find out what Richard Ayoade thought of the entire situation. "So you want me to come play the exact same character, saying the exact same lines and doing the exact same things ... but now it's a 'US' version?"

Have never seen a low manager get fired for having low performers inside of 2 years. I’ve seen stack ranking invented to push out non-senior managers, but never the feedback cycle you claim exists.

“there’s no reason to believe anything is functional” should be “you don’t believe in your manager.” Good managers divorce moral edict from feelings. Good managers know they don’t get to define what functional means.
Right, every Fortune 500 company already has a msft office contract. Getting everyone on teams is as easy as an IT guy clicking a box and everyone has it on their computer. Doesn’t have to be a great product when it’s that easy to start using. Really Microsoft’s entire company revolves around this “lock them in and utilize our relationship to grow new products” strategy.
The function declarations and definitions are all commingled in a single file. So if you want to use this library in a project that contains multiple source files, you have to include a duplicate copy of the implementation (including e.g. the static font data) in every single compilation unit.

It's possible that your linker would be smart enough to identify and remove the duplicates, but it's still inelegant, unidiomatic and needlessly inefficient.
> So again the company wants free things that benefit them.

Pretty much. This is actually the strongest possible reason to use GPL. Licenses that are too permissive enable these companies to succeed while giving nothing back.

> To me this provides the best of both worlds, people who aren't making money can use it for free but those who are using it to generate money need to pay to help fund the development.

Dual license GPL/proprietary. I'm always reminded of this post:

And while there are no shortage of C++ programmers who've said "just use C++" over the years, not too many actually lifted a finger to make it happen - the people who wanted Rust for Linux actually built Rust for Linux.

https://rust-for-linux.github.io/docs/kernel/

Out of that, core is basically just what you get from Rust's core itself, alloc is similar to Rust's provided alloc but is fairly heavily customised to meet the requirements of the kernel and of Linus. But kernel is custom code for the kernel specifically. Overall that's a lot of effort.

We didn't see a similar effort for C++. Would that have overcome Linus' reluctance? Well, it can't if it doesn't exist.
Brad is nice, don't try to soil his reputation because you disagree with him on the features he wants to bring into VIM
Does it matter?

We assume that the people implementing stack ranking have good incentives.

At one of my jobs, my manager blurted out what we have all suspected about Scrum. It is valuable to generate a neat numerical progress report for the guy above. It has no other value.

My manager doesn't give a shit about achieving anything either. He is doing the same gaming we are.
Try this: select all the text in a text box input in teams with your mouse, click and drag the cursor to select the text. Start typing. It will type the correct characters, right to left. So instead on "hello world" it will display "dlrow olleh". No joke. Selecting by triple clicking doesn't trigger the right-to-left typing. Using shift and arrows doesn't. Just by dragging the cursor. I can't imagine what could possibly cause this, even as a bug. Truly impressively bad software.

There's a reason why it didn't work before during the 1960s. And why dirigibles died in the 1930s. Nothing in technology or the laws of physics have changed enough to alter its viability!

MOST people, in my experience, who push, fund or jump onto the bandwagen for such things have ZERO STEM knowledge, zero economics/finance knowledge and zero market knowledge. A simple back-of-the-envelope calculation made before they "jumped" with both feet would have nipped the stupid in the bud and saved a lot of wasted money.

But it's human nature to be willfully stupid.
I don't view the management chain to be incompetent. I think they have the same bad incentives to game things we employees do.

Love this idea! And the way you have formatted the website and organized each business with its own section makes it super easy to navigate and read. Thank you for sharing this! I think this is an important site to help entrepreneurs learn more about business.
> Employers including technology companies used to provide training and apprenticeships but purposely shifted their job training costs on to job seekers and the education system

AFAIU, both historically and today, most apprenticeships are managed by unions through programs funded (in part) by union-contracting companies. This benefited companies as they didn't have to maintain apprentice programs themselves; and it benefited unions and especially apprentices as apprenticeships weren't tied to any specific company, providing some (albeit limited) employment mobility from the outset.

As unions have receded, so to have these programs, or at least the visibility of these programs.
Because they can't figure out how to do something in this space that catches fire and everyone loves. So instead, they bundle Teams in with their other stuff in order to cut the legs out from the competition i.e. lower the prices other companies can charge (because there's a mediocre free alternative), and hopefully slow down their growth until Microsoft can come up with (or acquire) something cool.
