covid vaccine seems to trigger this too? there was this video of a canadian actress that got it after her astrazeneca? doses.
To me the larger issue beyond any comparisons of risk profiles is the ethical question.

If a government through its agencies coerces people to get a medical treatment that harms them in any way they are responsible for that harm. Even if vaccinations are unquestionably a net benefit to everyone, the coercion makes the whole thing a serious breach of medical ethics. "First do no harm".

The "public health" (called "Volksgesundheit" ca. 1935) crowd of course have no such ethics and their goals often have conflicting aims with medicine. They gladly trade a few individuals' well-being for a greater good. Usually the diseases are so bad that this sort of approach is at least understandable (see damage from the first few iterations of polio or smallpox vaccines). But with covid they have completely lost many people. If they had just refrained from coercion (as with flu vaccines) everything would be just fine.
Every time that this topic comes up it goes the same way. I wish that we could all collectively agree that this is a PREFERENCE. One way is not objectively better than the other. They both have trade-offs. We could actually make some progress if we focusing on having WFO and WFH people better able to collaborate together.

One anecdote: I've been working fully remote for the last year. I prefer WFO but such is the world today. It is been going okay for the most part. Everyone is pretty good on Zoom and Slack.

Recently we all came in to the remote office to meet each other for the first time and do some planning for future features. It was an absolute disaster. Everyone has forgotten how to have a meeting outside of Zoom. 5 conversations at once, constant interruptions, etc. We also had some people calling in to a Zoom that the in-person people were on. This is also usually a complete disaster. The remote people have almost no ability to break into the in-person conversation.

IMO, this is the thing that needs to get solved. What process/tools can we add to a hybrid Zoom call to make it productive? What process/tools can we use to help WFH people adjust to in-person meetings? What process/tools can we change/use writ large, so that the WFO vs WFH choice can truly be an employee preference and not a mandate BUT still be a productive endeavour?
It's got commits from 2 months ago, I keep a few projects that go a few months at a time without activity. I wouldn't say it's abandoned, though maybe the devs aren't finding the time for it (or they're preparing some big update that isn't quite ready yet).
I had Bell’s in 2015. Got home from a week in SF. Cracked open one of the bottles of wine I bought while in Napa and was really upset with how bad it tasted compared to how it tasted while at the winery. The next morning it was already having its way with me.

I never felt so self conscious and helpless in my life. It destroyed my voice (it was so gravely it made Tom Waits sound like a non-smoker), got multiple eye infections because I couldn’t close one of my eyes naturally, food would fall out of one side of my mouth while chewing, sealing took major work.

It took almost a year and half to recover. It left its mark. My one eye starts to droop if I pull a late night coding session or am feeling worn out. Always there to remind me of the worst year and a half of my life.
I think the point they are making here is that clearly stating what went wrong doesn't necessitate using "technical jargon".

Now, "your credentials have been denied" seems pretty clear and does not use jargon in my opinion, but telling the user "the ajax request failed, returning a 403 http error code" seems unhelpful and doesn't tell them what happened.
Not op, but see this

But you are working backwards from how most people and businesses do budgeting

Budgets are not about what things cost, it is about what you or the business can afford.

For example, I do not need to know how much Steak is this week to know I have $100 for food.. If steak fits in the budget then great, if not I get chicken... or beans...

100% agree here, we've collectively picked convenience and shiny objects over everything else so often that we're left with a handful of companies with way too much power and reach

I disagree, or at least hope,this isn't our best or only option left. If it is the only thing that would work though, at least its something
So? That's no excuse for a developer to disregard the content of an error message in their own application.
I've been primarily using Firefox since 2005, but Mozilla has gotten a bit too woke[0] for my liking. I've switched to Brave search, and have been using Brave's browser on my phone, and I'm very tempted to switch on my desktops and laptops, too. This feature just might do it for me.

> The basic problem is Ukrainians didn't want to be dominated by Russia, they're fed up with it, and who can blame them.

That was never the problem when the US invaded someone. It isn't the basic problem this time either. The basic problem is that the Russian army is being mobilised. Much like the basic problem in the Middle East is every time the US army is mobilised.

And the way to fix this problem is to do things that might cause the Russian army to demobilise. Like negotiations and peace deals. A better option isn't available and nobody is proposing a better one that is going to be accepted.
Switching every individual and organization I can to Brave in the buildup to Manifest V3 launching.

Encouraging 3rd party patching tools to adopt it or the organizations I work with will leave them as a client.

Chocolatey already supports Brave in its packages for Windows.

Feels a lot like the days when Chrome came out and I championed it over Internet explorer and Firefox. Yeah, we all make mistakes, sorry Firefox.

Anyway, Brave seems like a great option to keep extensions alive that can actually block ads/trackers. Chrome is about to can that ability.

Hey, this isn't working in FF for me - FF 106.0, MacOS 12.6. I thought it might be an extension, but I've tried turning off the expected culprits and nothing changes. I'm not ruling out combinations of extensions, but I'm also not going to try 30! combinations.

It looks great on Safari, though! Though I do echo the sentiment that it would be great to allow customization - let me choose the columns I want and where I want them in a layout panel.
I'd also add that comments like this:

> Now, I am fully aware that there's a low of people for whom the horror of commute doesn't make up for the gains of socializing and others that just abhor having to talk to real-life people. Then there are people who work mainly to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary.

Are remarkably condescending.

Folks opting for a better work-life balance, who might not like to commute, or who prefer to socialize in other settings, "do not care to invest themselves"?

Maybe it's not the OP's opinions that are controversial, but rather the implicit judgment that comes along with it.
Work is a third of our life, and it seems reasonable that many people would want social interaction during that time. Further, at least in the workplace I had before Covid, people could work from home as needed, or even part time, depending on their management. Granted this was for IT, not for the whole company though.

You think WFH is every individuals choice in this new world. It isn’t.

The last place I worked had 25,000 people on its main campus. Three gyms, three coffee shops, four cafeterias and more square footage than the pentagon.

When every person chooses, in a fit of glee, to WFH all the time, that community dies. Maybe in a generation, the world will adapt, but I look back on the mid 2010s as what will possibly have been the best part of my lifelong career due to the energy, the learning, the comraderie, and the amenities of my tech job.

WFH is a group decision. Don’t think it’s morally superior to choose WFH.

I’m like OP, I see many benefits in terms of living flexibility and people caring for dependents. But it will have profound negative consequences on professional development and social development for workers going forward.
When you are a manager, having a good manager becomes even more important. I enjoyed my time leading a team for exactly this reason.

Working now at a startup, there is little to no management and I find myself wishing for good leadership.
Classical Liberalism vs. the New Right
Absolutely, there are always going to be subcultures within this kind of thing, but I highly doubt the majority of those want to force their preference to others, certainly for the WFH crowd and to be fair I'd assume from the WFO crowd either, at least not consciously.

> There’s definitely no such thing as the WFO’er that wants to force their preferences upon others any more than there are WFH’ers doing the same thing.

I can only go anecdotally on this but that certainly hasn't been my experience. I assume there are some WFH'ers who want to force their preference, but I've never seen any of them. However, I've encounter it many times from the reverse. I am pro-WFH, which might explain why, but again all I can go off is personal experience here.
I think his point was the developer tends not to even investigate the ENVVAR at issue or visit the link. If the developer does investigate the link and still has an issue, than you have a point.
A friend of mine had an offer to move to Dublin. After looking at housing situation and calculating the costs to bring wife and kids (daycare, babysitter etc) along he declined, because his would be salary wouldn't have outweighed comfortable living costs that much.

I'm going to web search it and find advice from other users or devs.
Maybe I need to use my email address instead of username, or delete my cookies, or something.

If it's proprietary locked down user-hostile junk, then yeah, all I want in the error message is a statement of a refund on my payment, and a link to a competitor website.
Hmmm... your last link seems to say that studiositas and curiositas are pretty far from modern English's "studious and curious." It seems that studiositas is literally just intellectual temperance, whereas curiositas is the opposite, which rather than curiosity would be excessive curiosity; moderate curiosity (i.e. intellectual temperance) being good. But that mostly agrees with what you said given the substitutions, if we take "curiositas" = "vice of curiosity", etc. It definitely does sound like Aquinas though with his symmetries and obsession with balance.
>i just turned auto correct off completely a few versions ago...

I don;t use autocorrect at all. Never have. But I do use 'swipe-to-type' [or whatever it's called] on Android and run into the same annoyances, as it will also chooses the wrong word, for a swiped pattern, every time --no matter how often I correct it.

You truly misunderstand that their civilization and ideals are different than yours.

> I see lowercase and deliberate no punctuation as passive aggression.

interesting, why does it seem as passive aggression?

for me upper/lowercase just feels redundant and its simpler for me, but i guess some people can see it as annoying...
This is my experience exactly. I live in an area with a small tech employer base (almost all consultancies or non-tech corporations) and a tradition of worker-hostile compensation and benefits. I'm able to make twice as much working remote, with unlimited PTO (and a culture that makes it work) and other benefits not available from local employers.

Frequent video collaboration with colleagues gets me 75% of the way to replicating the benefits of working in the office, and we also meet in person a few times per year. It's not perfect, but it's preferable to the alternatives. And it's nice to be present and available for my spouse and kids.

I've toyed with the idea of setting up another desk in the room next to my office for friends (or perhaps strangers) to come in and co-work if they want an occasional change of scenery. It is nice to work in the presence of other workers at times, even if they don't work for the same company.
you call it chemistry and socialisation. What I call chemistry and socialisation are actual sensory inputs like smell, touch, sound and real eye contact. I can't bypass real human contact with a flat screen.
I have been using Brave daily for a few years now both on the phone and desktop. The experience has been quite good and I generally recommend it to everyone.
It's not too late to have children. My sister is 42 and had a wonderful little miracle happen around the same time that my wife (31) was pregnant with my son. She turned out fine and perfectly healthy. You can also always adopt.

I just want to say you should definitely deal with the depression first. Having children is that single hardest thing you will ever do and being depressed will only make it harder. Continue therapy (even if it feels like it's not working - that's the depression - and it's a process not a magic cure), maybe even medication for a bit, start "planning" and giving yourself something to look forward to and towards and that will help with the depression because then your life will also have a direction to go in.
I've been contemplating switching back to Firefox from Chrome due to the upcoming changes to ad blockers - Is Brave a good choice for this, or should I go back to FF?
> and is pure money extraction mechanism

Yes, you act like this is a bad thing. You hold back and charge for the features customers want enough to pay for. You’ve never noticed that whenever there’s a Free/Pro of an app the one feature
you need is always on the Pro version?

> add enough value on enterprise plan, they could easily drop SSO

That really isn’t how it works. You find some small set of features that enterprises must have like SSO, auditing, and compliance and charge them out the ass for it. This is where the real money for every B2B SaaS comes from and subsidizes the low cost tiers which they hope will translate to an enterprise sale when you ask for it at work.
Those are facts, yes.
You made your job your social life... I was the same when I was younger. That petered off once I had a family. Now 40 years in, my work and social circles barely intersect. Now, I find WFH to be more productive, easier to concentrate, and I have better equipment then I usually have at an office. I've been full time WFH for 20 years, and can't imagine going back...
It is a textbook.
Yes!
We have tools to filter what gets saved and compression that handles repeated text very well.

So why not provide docs on how to solve the error along with the error.
My father got 3 stents inserted during an angiogram. The reason was most likey that he was suffering from sleep apnea (his breathing stopped around 60 times an hour and his o2 saturation dropped to 50/60) without knowing it.
In his case it was central sleep apnea but after he got a CPAP machine his o2 saturation went back up to > 90%.
One easy way to check this is to wear a pusle oximater overnight and check the o2 saturation.
It only happens when the battery is aging and the iPhone would otherwise shutdown since it can not handle the voltage peaks. Since the reports Apple has now a battery health section in settings which warns actively when you need to replace the battery. For example my father just replaced the battery in my old 2015 6S plus and it works on full speed again.
Sorry, missed this reply! Here's my source for the LFPR stats I mentioned above, we haven't recovered from early 2020 yet (and are way off from the rates pre-housing crash)

I’m holding out hope that remote work just isn’t fully figured out yet. I think there’s room for a bigger coworking movement for people like us who miss the community. If I had that, I wouldn’t complain about remote work at all
Semantic quibble:
A founder founds a company, if you're buying it you aren't a founder.

More broadly is there a market for side projects? I could understand someone's side project expanding to the point they need to bring someone else on board (which is what the name implies to me). It seems to me that if the founder is selling its probably because there isn't money in it. Or at least I would be concerned that the bulk of sales are for that reason rather than because the founder has another job or something.
So . . . the EU drives regulation to enforce seeking consent as a mandatory step, followed by browsers like brave programmatically defeating the ability of companies to seek consent? Two wrongs don't make a right.

What is the end game here, it's like watching dumb and dumber. I want a great web experience just like the next person, but not at the cost of jeopardizing the successful freemium model of the internet that has given billions of people access.
39 isn't too old to have a child. Yes, some of the risk factors are higher but it can reasonably be done and lots of people have done it.

You can also adopt.

Talk to your spouse and figure out how to dive in. You were meant to be a father, don't miss out.
It's easy. Just provide both, with mark-up to label them.

I believe that this article has made me even more interested in working in Venture Capital for my next move.

Thanks!
I needed to refresh my skills in Go, so I wrote a retro lunar lander side-scroller game (using ebitengine). Still a work in progress, but it has been a refreshing change of pace from my day job as an embedded/firmware developer. I haven’t written a proper game in decades.

Outside, I am putting the finishing touches on several new ponds, each around an acre in size and 7-10 feet deep. That was a huge multi-year undertaking, but I hope to stock them with fish next year.
Why does this need to be part of the browser itself and not a plugin?
I wish other browsers would do this. I don't jive with most of the other stuff Brave incorporates. For a while I was using "I dont care about cookies" but it seems less effective as of late.
People will probably eventually learn to integrate things like video chat, multiplayer 2d environments or AR/VR etc. into a work collaboration system.

It's weird that so many assume that it's either physically in the office yucking it up or just completely disconnected and not using any internet communication tool at all.

Why not suggest something like a Discord server with a voice channel? Or try the new Meta Quest Pro for like a fifteen minute meeting every day. Or any of the various projects related to making remote work more social.

Or set up a weekly real life meeting at a coffee shop. Or playing some game online like Rainbow Six Siege. Or anything.
Is there a plugin that does the same for Chrome?
There was an amazing table about killing zombies (called Dead Hunters) that used to work on this, but doesn't any more :(

Taking aside all of your emotional concerns, you should know right away that women absolutely can have healthy biological children at or past the age of 39. Obviously I can't speak for your wife and her specific health or reproductive situation but in general, the idea that "the window has closed" is more often than not totally false. Look into this in more detail with real medical professionals. One interesting observation comes from the article I link to below, which points out that many of the supposed female fertility window statistics are actually based on extremely old information from pre-modern times. Worth reading for a bit of optimism and perspective.

noteworthy quote from the article:

"The widely cited statistic that one in three women ages 35 to 39 will not be pregnant after a year of trying, for instance, is based on an article published in 2004 in the journal Human Reproduction. Rarely mentioned is the source of the data: French birth records from 1670 to 1830. The chance of remaining childless—30 percent—was also calculated based on historical populations.

In other words, millions of women are being told when to get pregnant based on statistics from a time before electricity, antibiotics, or fertility treatment."
It seems to flow both ways. Management gets burned out dealing with people who just don't care, and they end up not caring about the people they manage.

6 years ago, a COO once told me, "Employees are donkeys. You use a carrot and stick. If they weren't donkeys they'd be running their own business."

It seemed like such stuck up, pretentious 'advice' at the time that I ran far away from that social group. But parent comment made it click - people act like donkeys for a reason. And your comment made that click too, once the whole group acts like donkeys, they're treated like one.

- That smart people manage to find their ways into positions of wealth and power, doesn't necessarily imply that you need to be smart to occupy those positions effectively. In other words, they might be wasting their brains on those positions, as compared to being a scientist or engineer or something.

- When it comes to the qualities mentioned - deep, quick, vibrant, etc. - I feel people overestimate how innate these qualities must be, versus learned or developed in an environment.

Shrinkflation means getting less while paying the same price. For instance: less milk in the same package while still paying €1.50.

This is inflation: price increase while still getting the same.
