I don't think you understood it the way I meant it. Let me explain.

Commute time is time that I do not get any work output done. Employers know that and do not pay for that time. For me as an employee I have to basically treat this as "the cost of being employed" and I have a few knobs there.

I can choose how far away I live, i.e. do I waste 15 minutes on the subway for this but pay high rent or for an expensive condo or do I waste 1.5 hours driving and paying for the maintenance, gas etc. each way and live in a nice house in the sticks. I may also have the option of taking a train for the 1.5 hour trip and I might be able to get an hour of work done on the train.

Now it's up to my employer-employee relationship that I can get whether I am able to count this as work time or not. Some employers have strict policies: You gotta be at the office at 9 and clock in and clock out for lunch and back in and back out at 5. This is the time they count and you better be on time or you get dinged. Such an employer will not pay for your one hour of actual work you did on the commute.

Other employers may not be as strict, people generally get to work around 9, no punch clocks but social pressure ensures that even if you did that hour of work on the train and do another hour of work on the train ride home, people only "see you at work" for 6 hours and think you're a slacker. So again effectively your employer does not pay your for your commute time i.e. I can't count it as work. It's my time. I may be fine with listening to an audio book or reading in that time and I might enjoy it. But it was never work time to begin with. I was just forced to make use of that time in some way in order to be employed somewhere to get money.

Or you may be at a great place that understands this, some people come in at 7 and leave at 2, others come in at 11 and leave at 6.

In any case, with WFH I can now finally do whatever I want with that time instead of being locked into doing something that I can do while commuting.
I was driving through Cle Elum, Washington and stopped to get gas. The station I stopped at was literally in the middle of no where between Snoqualmie and Ellensburg, but was very busy. When I went inside, the gas station attendant was talking to a group of people who claimed there GPS had routed them into the mountains, and that eventually they came to a sign that said "TURN AROUND YOUR GPS IS WRONG" (paraphrasing as I didn't see the sign).
I went to flavours of Ubuntu (Pop/Mint) to Manjaro, to Fedora.

I love fedora, it just works. I've had 1 issue so far, NVidia GPU on Dell XPS 15. Had to disable noveau and its rock solid.
> I don't know what value that would add to the conversation — surely you don't expect a random guy on a forum to propose a comprehensive military strategy?

The problem with this approach is, that while you complain about or criticize made decisions, you are not offering alternatives. So as long as we do not see a better alternative, what are we supposed to do? Complaining is very OK and an important part of debate, but without providing a better way to act, I do not see how one can expect complains to change anything.

Doing "nothing" is also an alternative, but here it comes into play, what kind of person dictates the aggressor's forces and what is known about them. If, merely hypothetically speaking, of course, the wanted to establish an empire under their rule, without regard for what others within that future empire want, what makes you think, that it will stop with that one country the aggressor is invading currently? Especially when history has proven, that further escalation is on the menu a few years later.

I think the "doing nothing" or an appeasement strategy is quickly reduced to absurdity, if we look at the past and think about what would happen in the future. In fact, some people have warned about what is happening right now, at least since 2014.

We have the choice to condition the dictator further, by giving in to every future demand, because he will learn he only needs to threaten with nuclear weapons (and he _will_ find a "reason" to be insulted, or simply make one himself, with lets say some false flag operations for example), or say no to that. We have made the mistake, of allowing this to go on for far too many years already, so that he felt too sure, that it would work this time as well. Good, that we put a stop to that. Maybe, if we had done so earlier, we would not be in this situation right now.
Price doesn’t seem that outrageous to me.

Public bathrooms in cities get destroyed and are very difficult to maintain; a lot of cities give up on free restrooms entirely. One of the biggest perks of working downtown in a moderately sized or larger city is being able to go to the bathroom there outside of work hours.

I priced out some relatively minor kitchen/bathroom renovation work in 2018 at around $100k. Put it off during covid times, and today the quote for the same work is well over $300k. Sure, some company with modular units is gonna sell you a stainless steel box public bathroom for that price, but it’s far from the same thing as a proper building.

> All it takes is a few black-boxes and the privacy of Mullvad uses (connected to a M247 location) is worse-off than not bothering with a VPN.

In my country they log everything if they did setup black boxes to analyse timing in an attempt to de-anonymise then they could potentially log everything which is what they definitely do without a VPN, how am I worse off?

Matthew is not upfront with their readers about these risks.
But the same argument that they have against research in genetics applies there too, doesn't it? Attempting to measure intellectual capacity assumes that there can be a difference and tries to make that visible.

Or, as others in this thread have argued: how should the person feel that doesn't get a high score, and shouldn't we outlaw research in that area to make sure they don't feel bad?
Shouldn't a mature and complete analysis result in a conclusion, i.e. an opinionated stand backed up by correct reasoning?
I think you should spend more time in corrupt institutions, to better see how one forces the hand of the other in practice.
Transparency of servers is not the same as making your users aware of a providers risks.
Sounds like pure stupidity and incompetence. Why not buy a bunch of Ferrari's and beat them up with sledge hammers while they are at it?

> This is just incredibly frustrating and disheartening to read. How is one supposed to plan for a future in this career when your lifestyle can just disappear overnight?

Plan like everyone else in your country who has to deal with this uncertainty on significantly lower salaries.

Budget. Save. Trim expenditure.
And enjoy your career because you chose it as a career, not because it allowed you a lifestyle.
The irony that in age of the internet it's the superstitions and the mysticism that spreads because they are intuitive, easy to understand.
I don't think I have. I was an early employee at a startup that made it through a few rounds of funding. Somewhere in there the ship started sinking and it was pretty obvious.

In the beginning, we routinely worked 60+ hours a week and it didn't really bother me. But when it felt like no matter what I did my efforts wouldn't matter, I lost all my motivation and burned out. But I still couldn't bring myself to quit. I was emotionally invested in the company, our team, and our customers.

The second round of layoffs in a year (a 67% staff reduction) was the final nail for me. After I left I didn't work for at least six months. The first two months, I basically did nothing and got a lot of sleep. Then after that I decided to start doing all the things I never had time for. I cooked all my meals, I exercised, I traveled, I spent more time with family and friends, and I developed some hobbies outside of tech.

That was about five years ago. I've had 3 jobs since then, and I left each of them before a year was up. If the right amount of balance is just to have a job you punch in/out of that pays pretty well, I'm just not that interested. But I also know that there's no way I have another startup in me. For awhile now I've actually made more money with my "side hustle" than I can as an engineer, even though my cash flow is very uneven. So I think I'm basically done with software.

Editing a screenshot to push a narrative is pretty easy. I'm no longer with MongoDB, although still a big fan of the product, but I'm more curious as to how you could rack up a $2,500 bill just trying the product out, especially the serverless offering, coupled that with the guy being a "twitter investor", so that kicked off my BS detector.

MongoDB Atlas runs on the big 3 clouds, and of course you're going to pay more for a fully managed service, as opposed to hosting it yourself directly on the big 3, but racking up $2,500 in serverless compute charges in 24 hours seems very very hard to do, and especially by accident.

Who needs or doesn't need antidepressants is a conversation that should be had between a doctor and their patient and is frankly none of the business of the economist.

Wrong tree to bark up.

"Permanently" only means there is no time limit with an automatic reactivation afterwards.

It's absolutely possible for a "normie" to get a permanent ban reviewed and lifted.
I don't think it's 'my distro is better' as much as it is people who loved ubuntu pissed off in the direction they went with Snaps. At least, that's my personal position.

IMO, snaps have no reason to exist other than NIH. But, if they wanted to do it anyways, fine. But it should have always been opt in, and people could for example try out the Steam snap. Instead they made everything a snap mess that rarely works quickly or predictably .

Hmm, having just visited SF and then spent a week in New Haven and Hartford in CT, I can't agree. What American city doesn't have trash? I can't think of a city I have visited in the world that meets that standard. I haven't been, but maybe Singapore?

The homeless problem is very bad in California and SF in particular, and it is very concentrated in a small area to the east that looks positively dystopian. But that doesn't represent the whole city. If there is a next time you visit, I recommend spending some time in the panhandle, the Haight, the sunset, basically anywhere bordering golden gate park.
>> I became CTO so I can solve this mess properly, I don’t hire devops, I hire infra engineers, build engineers, release engineers and: backend engineers.

This makes a lot of sense, but you need to realize that this is only a tiny part of a successful organization. There are many setups like that which you describe across many industries that have failed reasons beyond the role definitions. It's not enough to establish the organization. You have to keep the behaviors in check over time when you hire a build engineer with different aspirations.
Same here. Ubuntu user since the beginning (2004). Switched to Arch half a year ago, will never look back.
I don't understand why Ubuntu tries hard to scare away users from what used to be a solid OS with things like Mir, Unity, snap,... Even now the modified Gnome it comes with by default. I don't get it.
If I were in a wheelchair, I'd be terrified of cities like SF who only grow vertically and are opposed to any types of accommodations requiring construction.

> I'm not familiar with mobile app review process, would any change in code require a re-review/re-submit?

Yes.
It's not 1:1 for other reasons either besides just pay, like you don't have to pay anything for college tuition in Germany and they have universal healthcare, so you pay a ton less for healthcare expenses also, so that helps close the gap for lesser pay (also, you're working 30% less hours on average, so you have more free time to pursue other things, including a part time job if you really need to).

$400/month of my take home pay for over a decade was just in student loan payments, and I got off easy compared to a lot of Americans there. My wife, for example, is still paying about $1000/month, and that's after knocking it down by about $30k recently thanks to a couple windfalls. And she's been paying hers for almost 10 years at this point as well.

They also pay about 80% of your prior salary in unemployment, whereas here it's a hard cap at a really small amount (I think last time I was on it I was getting about a third of my previous salary, and my salary was a lot lower then).

>> But nobody calls the city SFO.

Yes they do. And some also call it Frisco and San Fran.

After 35 years in the Bay Area I have settled on calling it "The City" but will bust out with "San Fran Frisco" on special occasions to just to be irritating to those who desperately want to "fit in."
Disclaimer: I am an Ops engineer turned product manager.

But I don’t like this rift. There are many ops people having a good understanding of product and vice versa. It’s just the stereotype which gets reproduced all the time, including in this blog post.

Sure, if management doesn’t get that there is value (and cost!) in proper ops work and having product management attached to it, then all is turned to “DevOps” anyways

Could it be they meant a dystopia as right-wing might view or describe it?

As in "I'm right-wing; this is my idea of what a dystopia would be; SF seems like that."

Rather than "this dystopia is the result of right-wing policies." which clearly doesn't fit the facts, eh?

I honestly have no idea why anyone uses the BIOS to set power limits. Intel, in their infinite wisdom, has exposed the relevant MSRs and they can be changed at any time. I feel like the BIOS is the worst possible place to set this, especially since changing it to suit your workload without rebooting is so valuable.

Example: I currently have my 12th-gen Core configured in a peculiar way that caps the all-core turbo clock rate to 4100MHz, but this leads to shorter project build times because it leaves thermal overhead sufficient for the single-threaded link to hit 5200MHz earlier and longer.
Conservatives say they love cars but they hate it when I drive my car*

It's partly the driver, partly the stack, at least on FreeBSD. My understanding is the newer high-speed wifi modes use multiple channels or pairs of channels or something like that, and the 80211 stack in FreeBSD was just not built with that in mind. So retrofitting it is some work. I think there are other things like that missing still, in addition to driver support.
SOA is just Spaghetti Architecture. I haven't seen an implementation that convinces me otherwise.

Microsoft Office Online Server Open to SSRF-to-RCE Exploit
“The NIMBYs basically lost” feels like it’s true in a lot of Northern California. Out in Tracy, a local lawyer (who had an office but not a residence within city limits) got a residential growth restriction on the ballot and passed circa 2000. The city took it to court, it was upheld after a few years, essentially zero residential development went on in the lead up to the ‘08 recession because the city had allowed “too many” houses to be built per the terms of the RGA restriction…

Fast forward 20 years later, the town grew substantially anyway, within the terms of the restriction. And all the problems that the lawyer and his supporters said their restriction would prevent happened. Traffic, densification (loss of “small town” feel), escalating housing prices, a majority commuter population… and much less of an escape valve to fix it all. The NIMBYs basically lost. And it has a knock-on effect, because families pushed into commuting to support themselves have to look even further out from their Bay Area jobs to find an affordable places. But the same lawyer still shows up to city council and planning commission meetings to remind everybody about how close they are to the limits on how many houses can be built this year.

How many companies are there where a Dev team writes code and "throws it over the wall" for Ops to deploy and maintain? I hear people talking about this as an anti-pattern all the time, but I haven't been in enough workplaces to see what this looks like when it happens recently.
Serious means impotent? You guys voted for brexit and that would put brexiters with the majority/centre. Plus this isn’t general election to the best of my understanding. Therefore, no need to appeal to leftists at all.
Any actual SF residents in this thread? I’m seeing a lot of very authoritative posts coming from places of ignorance. One person even called it a “right wing dystopia”.

Here’s the bottom line. The problems we are trying to solve in SF are hard. This place is fully developed. No way around that. Is SF perfect? No, not at all. But damn if this city doesn’t try its hardest, moreso than almost any other city I know of. We could easily sweep away the problems tourists complain about, do a little fascism, and make all these “problems” go away… by ignoring the humanity behind them. But we don’t. Instead we keep looking the problem in the eye and trying to solve it at a systemic level, as best a super dense 7x7km “island” possibly can.

I would love to hear actual solutions from people who say they could do it better, but I am not holding my breath. They’re usually like people claiming P != NP because “well, obviously”…
The proposed solution is simple, but the problem has always been audience and discovery. Even if you managed to find a perfect platform with a decent userbase, you would still need to rely on people sharing links to your content on the more widely known platforms. Very rarely do people stumble upon blogs and niche social media sites.
It does sound like they're batch-copying the entire contact book into their app at startup, rather than using the Android contact picker. The static analysis problem of determining whether there is / isn't a batch import seems a lot easier than determining with certainty what happens with the contacts after they were saved to disk.

Though the article doesn't actually show any screenshots from the review emails, but just paraphrases them, so we don't even know that their interpretation of the rejection reason is correct.
How does banning this account reduce spam?

Removing it from the search results and unlinking its @handle in tweets from other accounts would have been enough, if it was spam, to prevent it from being shown at all to anyone.

If it’s useful for non-spam people who want to follow it from an offsite link, it’ll gain valid followers that can hint towards undoing its shadow ban over a long period of time — and by not doing follow activity of any sort in return, it’s clearly not playing the follow spam game in order to try and mask itself as anything other than a one-way feed account, so there’s no harm in letting active users follow it.

It just reads like Twitter isn’t able to distinguish how it treats RSS feeds from how it treats spambots, due solely to a limited stable of technical reactions.
In my experience, empathy is a much better solution for these kinds of emotional reactions than desensitization.
Pretty incredible this can come out before Final Cut Pro for iPad.
