> And trust me the condo owners aren't going to go and mop that rooftop or gym, they're going to need even more employees to do that

This is probably the meat of the cost.

When I demo'd the floors the labour cost was my own time; rather than the market rate.
Having a team split between remote and on site isn't a great situation for anyone. A team that is entirely remote can adapt to remote, asynchronous ways of working. A team that is entirely on site just needs to do what they've always done. Collaborating effectively in a team that is split between the two is very difficult, because the communication methods that are natural to one half of the team are foreign to the other half. Remote employees in particular tend to get isolated from the rest of the team.

If your company has enough employees that are interchangeable enough to organize teams based on the work preferences of the employees, you could probably make it work. But most companies don't have employees that are that interchangeable.
The motive for my question is that Ukrainian civilians are currently being terrorized by loitering or kamikaze drones, allegedly from Iran or possibly Russian built from Iranian designs. It seems to me people on this site might have some ideas for disabling these cheap gasoline powered devices.
> But I think in this context he may have been better to say “arithmetic” or maybe root logical operations, because he was trying to convey small axiomatic units of universal truth rather than pull an entire field “into purity”

What makes you think that arithmetic and logic are universal? A culture with a completely different way of thinking may not arrive to a system similar to our mathematics based on logical reasoning and search of consistency. Heck, we can see it in a lot of human beings who are not capable of consistent logical reasoning, and they're not even alien.
There are plenty of much smaller/cheaper condos in SF with HOAs that are $1500+. I'm still baffled what they are spending that on. Here's a $860,000 condo with a $1876 HOA.

You're confusing apartment living vs. living in your own private house with an H.O.A

You can't live with 200 other families in a shared building without some sort of structure. What's allowed and what isn't, Can dogs swim in the shared pool? Can you ask the doorman to go find a parking spot around the block?

The HOA in question is a shared building. Which is more like a corporation, with 20-30 employees.
> Typically, an HOA for a condo covers all maintenance interior and exterior, so that's not insane

It depends a bit on where you live, but that's typically not true. For a condo, the owners are responsible for interior maintenance (for example, plumbing issues within the unit, as opposed to plumbing issues within the walls).
That could end up being a two-headed monster, with some apps working fine in ‘iPad mode’ and looking awfully out of place in ‘Finder mode’ and other ones looking good in ‘Finder mode’ and bad in ‘iPad mode’.

Unless (almost) all their apps (including third-party ones) would seamlessly switch from a mouse-driven MacOS UI to a pen/finger drive iPad UI, I think most users would be disappointed with that.
That'd be true, if commercial property owners still had to pay their mortgages.

Commercial property owners are seeking forbearance agreements with their lenders. Forbearance is like hitting the "pause" button on a lending agreement, with the hope that market conditions bounce back and the original loan terms can continue.

What that means in practice is that a massive amount of real estate will rot, unused, in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
Because "Office Vacancy Rate in San Francisco Just Hit a New High", That means property owners aren't making money. Workers aren't out spending to come in, stay and leave. All that is taxable, which is why government officials want people back in the office. In every city, the downtown core's tax revenue subsidizes the suburban sprawl all around it. Good overview of the research on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nw6qyyrTeI
Yeah this would be an improvement I think, considering how little I've seen iPads used in portrait mode it's a little surprising they haven't done it already. I'm guessing it's to support the pencil charging, since the new iPad does have cameras in the expected landscape location but only supports pencil 1

This looks fantastic, congrats to the launch!
But the military games happened in October, the previously public database of the WIV was taken down in September a month prior due to "hacking" which why would someone hack a publicly available database is hard to imagine. And why has the database not been shared via database dumps or uploaded somewhere else since? Also if the outbreak occurred in the US there would have been major spikes in hospitalizations months earlier in the US than what happened in Wuhan.
I always thought that the benefit of the physical device was that it was decoupled from the main device. If someone steals my laptop, for example, they won't be able to access my MFA secured accounts unless they ALSO steal my phone (and are unable to lock it).
I think it's more that American weapons technology has never been used for defense of the US. It's almost purely aggressive technology used to oppress and intimidate weaker countries into doing our bidding, and no plausible attack on the US by a nation-state would involve anything less than large scale nuclear attacks, because that's what it would be met with. Doesn't really fit into the 'hacker ethos'.
I've generally been pretty happy with JETech's screen protectors, not happy with where they come from, not happy they appear to be a random amazon no-name brand, but I've been pretty loyal to them and when I've deviated, mostly to protectors bought in person, I've noticed a drop in quality.
Agreed, checked exceptions surface potential errors to the caller. In that regard Java fares better. However, handling exceptions still require a separate catch clause rather than being part of the normal flow. Furthermore, it is nigh impossible to rely on checked exceptions alone, most Java code may throw RuntimeExceptions such as NullPointerException or ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and there is no way to know it by just looking at the calling code.

Good thing they're spending that time productively... Not blocking any egregious merger/acquisition from the past decade?

> Quite a hyperbole for a gif repo purchase. Can FB purchase Tenor then? Who could purchase Giphy, any other social media giant?

Facebook, or any other social media giant, shouldn't be allowed to expand in distributors to their competitors. Giphy is used by everyone, Facebook tracking Telegram users isn't something anyone needs. Anyone can purchase Giphy as long as it doesn't give them an unfair advantage, so nobody in the chat market.

Or it could be about profit margins.
I think the problem is that a powerful entity is profiting off of other people's work without their consent and gives nothing to the exploited members in return. Sure, an individual human learns from copyrighted works and reincorporates to make something slightly new all the time. And then they may also profit from it and not give anything in return to those that came before.

The problem here is the scale and the power that enables that scale. This is industrial level mining of non-consenting humans, exploiting their life's work in many cases.
For reference I was part of the rollout of 4K digital projectors in theaters 10 years ago.

At the time some cinema owner with a training in management of projection where underwhelmed by 4K.
for them, we reached a resolution plateau at 4K.

I wonder what they think of 8k tv :)

( context : for their screen of 12m wide , 4K was when you start to have diminishing returns in term of quality )

Dear god. And then you can't even visually tell if you are at the main, "Team" or "Blog" page from the menu bar.

This says one thing very clearly: "This website was not made with love." -which says NOTHING about the product they are offering.
Do you think they audited every open source code base that was used in training for quality?
In fairness, I do notice the time to connect to my home network much more when waking my Macbook Pro from sleep than my iPad. But it is still noticeable on the iPad.

The place where the slowness is most noticeable on iPad is when I want to reconnect it to my iPhone's hotspot. I need to reconnect many times per day because the iPhone turns off the hotspot when its unused for 90 seconds to save battery, and this behavior infuriatingly cannot be disabled.
Bought my wife an iPad in 2020 as well with the same fear that it will largely go unused.

She teaches at a university and would normally write copious notes on dozens of notebooks.

She got a copy of Goodnotes for iPad and started using it for her notes. 2 years later, she hasn’t touched any of her physical notes. All her study material is on iPad.

Very happy with the purchase.
> Perhaps it speaks more to your priorities? I can't see anyone outside of a web developer who needed that feature 1 time or even caring that backdrop-blur wasn't implemented.

The point is, if Firefox can't even make basic web features like blur work on the browser (that are available on even no name mobile browsers) I can't expect Firefox to ever surpass Chrome or other competitors and it's evident.

> The fact that you're salty about a specific CSS property and that it's reason enough to boycott a browser speaks volumes.

As a web developer, I 100% stopped development on Firefox because it doesn't support even the most basic features all other browsers have. Like it or not, it's an inferior product because of the missing web APIs.

You know what's better than fighting monopoly with an ideology? Fighting monopoly with an even better product that supports the ideology. Firefox is sadly not that.

I own a 2018 11" and an M1 12.9" and there's plenty of times the 11" has failed to cope with something the 12.9" barely breaks a sweat over. I'm not sure what you do with yours, but it's provably untrue that there is not a single app that makes full use of the increased CPU power of these new iPads.

> they aren’t directly using WebKit, but rather WebView, a cross-platform API that delegates rendering to the OS preferred rendering engine, which on Apple devices happens to be WebKit.

WKWebView is a part of the WebKit API, so it always uses WebKit. As far as I know it's also a Cocoa API, so it's only cross-platform in the sense that it's available on both iOS and macOS.
I hate when cryptomining is described as "solving extremely complex mathematical problems." That makes it sound like math professors gathering around a conference table burning the midnight oil trying to crack a formula when in reality it's just trying to crack a safe by randomly guessing the code over and over again - nothing complex about it.
I know this is coming from a viewpoint that a lot of people don't or can't share with me, but I'd rather move to a good district than homeschool.

You're right, and I agree with your conclusion about depression.

The catch is that I feel most depression is environmental today. It's singularly exhausting to struggle while watching people who have the means to enact real innovation and change squander their potential on yet another gimmick.

The only thing that's really helped me was to realize that it's all a gimmick. Life itself is a divine comedy. We each determine our own definition of meaning since science can't provide one.

Using the book/movie Contact as an example, basically my philosophy has shifted away from Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) and more towards Palmer Joss (Matthew McConaughey). In it, he wrote a book called "Losing Faith: The Search for Meaning in the Age of Reason":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFcHpamkHII

This spiritual battle we're engaged in between science and faith has been with us since the beginning. It's crushing down on us harder and harder now as science works to stamp out the last vestiges of our individuality and humanity. That sentiment might not make a lot of sense to many on this site, but it's the daily lived experience of billions of people forced to spend nearly the entirety of their lives toiling under subjugation (working towards another person's life purpose) to survive.

You're also right about interest and motivation. I find AI to be perhaps the last frontier, since there's a chance it could explain consciousness and maybe even give us access to something like an all-knowing oracle or even a means to contact aliens. It's pretty much the most interesting thing there is, and why I got into computer programming in the first place. I'm just sad quite literally that I squandered so much time on running the rat race and never got a chance to contribute and "get real work done".

Sorry I meant it as a general comment for project names, not for this one in particular. And it is just my preference: given that "names that say what it does" don't really help me discriminate projects in general, I feel like "unique names" would be better. And if, like many company, a ton of money will be put into infinite brainstorming sessions by people with a good salary, I feel like maybe just going for a fun, unique name would be cheaper and not less effective.

"Apple" does not return the fruit in the top results, but I wouldn't say it's a good name for a new project in 2022. Same for "word", I wouldn't advise you call your project like this, even if the top results are "Microsoft Word" and nothing related to the actual meaning of the word.

I come from an industry where everyone uses the same prefixes/suffixes (related to the industry) together with names that "mean something". As a result, it's never really unique, and the only way to differentiate them is to always name them together with the company name. There is one in particular where the company name says what their product does, and it is similar to another product. For that one I _always_ need to Google it and go check the geographical location of both companies, because that's how I differentiate them: the names (and in this case the company name) do not help me.
If a company won't promote me, and I'm clearly exceeding the standard for the next role, I take that experience, and describe myself as that level on my resume for the next job. Seriously.

If you're doing the job, you're doing the job even if they won't officially give you the title.
Maybe, but we got XFCE out people wanting CDE but FOSS, so overall I think it turned out okay.
> The need for changing location for mental delimination of work

This is actually the biggest reason for me. Even after nearly 2 years of WFH I didn't find it nearly as easy to mentally separate from work. Leaving the office at 4pm does that much more effectively. I went back to working at the office as soon as it was possible.
When I poke deeper into these type of life expectancy headline claims, I usually find life expectancy is continuing to improve for the typical North American adult who does not:

* Abuse drugs or alcohol.

* Become obese.

* Commit suicide.

While the overall statistical decline is unfortunate, the underlying causes result from things already known to shorten lifespan. If you add eating healthy, reasonable exercise and maintaining routine healthcare the numbers improve even more.
> perhaps flooding zeros across a TCP socket could work

Unconstrained zero sending is too fast; you would tend to flood the connection, causing packet loss, breaking you out of the fast path long before counter loop around. You would need to avoid saturating the network while still causing the recipient to fall behind.

yes, LA has a program to give away trees for planting in yards and parkways, and my read of the program is that, while it's goal is laudable, the implementation is lacking. earlier this year, a partner non-profit planted 2 trees for us and i planted an additional 2 trees that another org gave us, and i learned that it's not a set-it-and-forget-it type of endeavor. walking around my neighborhood, many of these trees, even though most are native species adapted to the environment, will end up dying because of the lack of care and the lack of education that comes with the trees. beyond enriching the soil when planting, it apparently takes ~5 years for the trees to establish themselves, and so requires constant watering for at least that amount of time.

ours sprouted quickly when first planted but then stagnated through the hottest parts of the summer. now we're entering the winter season and i'm wondering what we need to do to revitalize the soil again to help them grow in the spring.

The continuing decline in user numbers would tell anyone in leadership that is actually paying attention that this approach is not working. And the idea that the answer to attracting normal people is renaming and pushing themes is, to put it mildly, brain-damaged.

That’s an interesting way to phrase cities being subsidized by taxes paid by/on the behalf of suburban commuters.
I'm sorry, but I just disagree that that's how mathematics is defined and that it doesn't depend on our biology and perception, because we are making those definitions.

A book I might recommend and that I'm going through at the moment is Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics Into Being by George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez. The origin and meaning of mathematics is strongly influenced by cognitive sciene, and thus biology. I've been downvoted, but this is not a totally novel or off the rails idea. It is basically accepted in robotics that embodied cognition is how you get a robot to understand and perceive its environment. Where do you think that idea came from?

I dislike how transplants tend to broadly paint the East Bay. It isn't a cheap region either.

Most blue collar labor types living in the East Bay are in the Alameda County flatlands (parts of Newark, parts of Fremont, inner city Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Albany) or North Contra Costa County (Pittsburg, Antioch, Richmond).

But most of the unskillled labor underclass you see in the Bay Area cities tend to drive in/Bart in/ACE in from San Joaquin Country, Sonoma County, or Monterey County.
