See any credentials? Maybe, and I mean maybe they weren't full of shit, but even so they certainly were not there in any official capacity, and it is just as likely as not they were entertainment paid to be there by Defcon organizers. Don't believe anything you read or hear, and only half of what you see.
Logs actually are a form of documentation. Documentation can provide instructions on how to diagnose and fix problems, and that's what logs do: tell a human being what a problem is and how to fix it.

Remember that often the person reading the logs is not the person who wrote the software. Maybe it's an Ops person at 2AM trying to fix a broken deploy. Maybe it's a developer who joined the company 3 years after the software was written. Maybe the log is passing through an error message from 3 layers deep in the stack. The more literate your logs are, the better.
You'd think that productivity declined in 2020, but based upon those charts it only did a little bit in Q1 and then bounced back hard in Q2 and Q3. I think people overcompensated, but the fact that it has stayed high for the rest of the lockdown tells me that it's not in fact the productivity killer that it's claimed to be.
This privilege (which is really just code for $$$) you mention existed in the same exact way prior to mass WFH, except that it resulted in more air pollution, more wasteful traffic, etc. Individuals rationally take a small scale solution to a direct problem instead of potentially solving a huge problem in 50+ years. The post in general is like ranting about not collectively curing cancer when someone asks for a bandage for a small wound.
My kinda-cynical read is closer to "just as powerful kings of old attracted a clever-sounding crowd of courtiers, counselors, priests, philosophers, and such, so do large quantities of money today attract a clever-sounding crowd...".
This is to be expected, though. Given that there is an infinite number of possible things that could have existed, it is natural that they all had very low to infinitesimal probabilities to begin with.
Have you not attended meetings with parents taking care of babies? I sure have. People do difficult things all the time.

It's especially manageable if both parents are WFH.
> Many (most I assume?) choose when to have or try to have children.

Might sound a bit too cynical for this site, but plenty of people decided to get a dog in 2020. Why shouldn't they choose to have a baby for the same reasons?
Wireguard already does this. Did you mean something else?
Thank you, appreciate the kind words!
There were a lot of areas in the 60s where a road trip would require substantial advance planning to go well.

(I guess people should never have done them back then…even although that helped pave the way for making it easy today. But this isn’t my main point, it’s an aside)

And this doesn’t even touch on the way just a few decades ago many ethnic groups had to plan extensively for road trips for their safety.

Nowadays it seems like we’re on the path to WallE’s world where even a modest amount of planning is unthinkable for some. What has google maps done to our perspective?

Although I have hope, it used to be single use plastic bottles were the complete standard because no one wanted to plan slightly ahead. Now substantial numbers of people fill up a reusable bottle in advance like good amateur logisticians.
> It is unfortunate coincidence, but Haskell sum types don't correspond to sums of spaces.

It depends on the perspective. Both are a form of coproduct https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coproduct which forms a disjoint set for types (and sets and topological spaces) while forming a direct product for vector spaces. Confusingly, the vector space sum is a product of sets. (but you can see that it is an addition when you look at the resulting dimensions) The product operation for vector spaces is the tensor product.
Isn't this just survivor bias though? You only hear from those that fail to read and act on the error message.
I like working from home for one major reason: my life is more significant than this job for my boss. I get about two hours back from not commuting that I can do whatever with, and I am not paid for commuting either. I can choose what my work environment looks like, be it at home or a buzzy cafe or a silent library or park with birds singing. I can actually take some time during the day to run errands while there is zero traffic, go to the dmv during the week instead of on saturday along with half the city, versus having to get these things done after work in rush hour traffic or burn a weekend day just to catch up on chores and errands. I can multitask in zoom meetings, by doing stuff like folding clothes or working out or just bringing the laptop out to work in my garden. I have also been able to spend a lot more time getting to know my neighbors thanks to all this available time we all have from not commuting and having more flexible schedules. If anything I feel like I am socializing with friends a lot more than if I had to come home late from the office and leave early for the office in the morning. We still have social events with the coworkers in town so I am not missing any interaction from them. I have no desire to ever commute again when I have gained so much thus far by avoiding it.

You're getting older and keyboards are getting worse.

I would love to see videos of Tim Cook typing on his iPhone. Like with a camera recording his fingers tapping/swiping and the screen itself, side by side. I wonder if he gets frustrated with the poor quality or if he's received some Official Training that lets him make effective use of the keyboard.
I’m from Puerto Rico and people there have been fighting for this since I can remember.

This disproportionately hurts the poorest people there the most. Groceries are already exorbitantly expensive, doubly so because of this misguided act.

Never mind the fact that Puerto Rico is in the middle of recovering from a Cat1 hurricane that nearly took the island out for a month (power outages still ongoing). While the island should have been prepared for that, it was still in the middle of recovering from Maria (a cat 5 hurricane in 2017).

How much slower has relief been because of the jones act? How much longer can we keep subjecting people to colonialism?
If more people saw the benefits of having both on a daily basis I imagine this conversation would look rather different. Speaking only for myself, I was told from a very young age that being introverted was a disadvantage I'd have to overcome, and that the world was built for extroverts - in the case of office culture, I wouldn't even disagree with the latter. A bit of a backlash as introverts assert our own value is probably to be expected. And a lot of that assertion just comes in the form of insisting that no, we don't want what our extroverted colleagues want, and the fact that we skew towards the quiet side doesn't mean we skew towards wanting it less.

That said, I also don't want my extroverted colleagues to lack the option to all work under one roof, if that's what they prefer. Because most working groups benefit from having both on the team, the question has to be how to make an environment that benefits both. Frankly, the employer is in a relatively good position since it makes no sense to overpay workers who have moved to a low-cost-of-living area or maintain office space in an expensive city. But attracting top talent is definitely more complex post covid, given that different kinds of talent has different needs and wants.
Um, so you're reinventing the private club... quite an original idea.... But not really a useful one in any sense. You don't need any special technology to implement this idea. Just have a membership board that votes in/out members if it's such an exclusive group. This in itself is rather solved problem, but not a useful problem worth discussing when addressing issues on a larger scale.
> For me what convinced me to switch to brave is that actually do privacy by default, not just empty talk like mozilla.

That's one hell of a take.

- they have their own independent search engine

- and their own privacy respecting AD network.

- they block ADs and trackers BY DEFAULT

What is a "privacy respecting AD network"?

How are points #1 and #2 at all pro-privacy?

If they are embedding their own ad system, how is them blocking ads and trackers actually relevant? If all telemetry is not off by default it undermines the relevance of point #3 substantially.
I only do self-hosted options so it might be a while before I really tinker with Wireguard. I've looked into setting it up but it does not meet my needs today for dynamic mesh routing and requires much of the system configuration of OpenVPN or Strongswan albeit simpler configuration but the same concepts still apply.

My preferred ideal dream setup would be if the Tinc open source VPN had integration with OpenLDAP for ID management and could leverage Wireguard for speed. I am not a proper developer so I can only wish for such a thing or maybe pay someone to make this. Tinc has awesome user-space dynamic mesh routing but lacks user management and is slow compared to Strongswan/OpenVPN. Wireguard is fast. OpenLDAP can back-end ID management for just about anything, especially when combining it with oauth/saml and can be integrated into just about anything and that works for me because I am a fan of decentralized and/or distributed systems.

The Jones Act is a problem and a blessing. It ensures a US maritime industry, albeit tiny. Still, due to lack of competition, it has left the US maritime industry so far behind the world standard that the minute it is removed, the entire sector will go bankrupt from international competition.

There's quite a difference between what the numbers actually say vs. what claims were made by public health bureaucrats to justify both vaccine mandates and other NPI-style restrictions.
I understand your intention but doubt any practicality.

If you use an app to give you functionality A and you derived it usually costs X resources. Now it is using Y>>X. You ask it why.

It might not be able to answer, since it could be unintended, a bug, something outside it's control (os level, other app contention) changed. So it responds 'I don't know'.

It might be able to answer if the behavior is intentional and part of the systems knowledge space for the current parameters. So you'll get a response like 'I'm optimizing the A experience'.

Either way its not much more actionable than just noticing the App is using more resources.

Depending on the satellite provider, they may still be using satellite and still only work over the continental US. Even starlink basically bounces the signal off a satellite and down to a ground station; this doesn't work over the ocean. They just started doing satellite to satellite links to get "back to land".
I read it a while back. The story is probably fiction, but I have no trouble believing there must be shitload of people who must have worked an arrangement like that for themselves—taking paychecks without work. What surprises me is that almost always these people don't use their free time to do something productive—like picking up a hobby or up-skilling, they squander most of it. Ex: a programmer who outsourced his job to China and used his free time to watch cat videos and Reddit[1].

I am not deriding that choice, just that it's a curious thing. We all blame our day jobs for eating most of our time. But when we do get total freedom, we hardly remain as productive as we imagined ourselves to be. I thought I was different. But no! Recently, I took a career-break and I thought I would use the newfound free time to learn all the things I was putting on the back-burner. Instead, I found myself to be dramatically less productive compared to when I was working. Lacking objective, or structure in the day, I found myself playing video games or surfing web pretty much all day.

I realized maybe 9-5 isn't as bad as it sounds and early retirement isn't as good.

I'm pretty sure this is referring to the scenario where you either have kids or are expecting kids soon. Only once you become a parent do those non-parenting ambitions seem childish.

> The simple fact of the matter is that cost of living is dramatically lower when you are rich.

It's not a given that everyone working in software is rich. Notwithstanding, cost of living can be high and people stretch themselves to pay the mortgage. I don't think you've genuinely thought about the numbers.
> Going from one extreme of not wanting kids to waking up in the middle of the night with panic attacks caused by the idea of not having them?

I'm not going to psychoanalyze someone by a single text message, but I also thought it was unusual to swing that hard. Probably the decision was not thought well and hence the regret, maybe the neighbors have beautiful babies and FOMO brings regret, maybe it's a mid-life crisis where we worry about our legacy, only they know.

I can only contribute my experience deciding not having kids. We both agreed to not have them, we're 50 now, the window has closed indeed for us, and we don't regret that decision at all. It's fantastic to age together and be the center of our own little family. What little need for forging a malleable mind is left, is fulfilled by the sporadic visits to/from our nephews and nieces.

Whatever OP does, I hope he doesn't do it on impulse. It's immensely better to regret not having kids, than regret having them.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. Really, I appreciate it a lot!

Saying that others would not be impressed by my professional achievements doesn't mean that I'm not proud of my work. I have many valuable qualities, being a 10x Developer is not one of them.
You're right, I am good enough to do whatever I want to. But I am very happy that post-burnout I want different things.

Striving for a stable life with a healthy mix of meaningful work and a good social circle is not what my teenage self envisioned for my future, but it has made me much much happier than striving for an impressive resumé. I'm sure there's lots to come in the future, but I'm proud that I had this realisation relatively early in my professional life. Without this change in perspective I would've been miserable forever. Because in the end, I really am no Carmack. And that's totally fine :)
> This is basically the advice we'd give to people to stop looking at the birds, to focus on plowing the field in front of them.

I think you leaped to a conclusion here. Parent post is about immoderate distraction, not having horse blinders on 24/7. There is plenty of room to “look at the birds” while also knowing how to say “no” to distraction.

It's overly wordy, probably for SEO reasons.

First, it's opt in. So you'd only need to opt out if you'd opted in at some point.

The instructions boil down to: Click settings, uncheck Brave Rewards button.

The rest of the article tells how to disable new tab background ads, remove the rewards UI, and how to do it again on mobile...but these are more personal preference things.

Edit:
Just tested it by opting in. Easiest way for me was -

1 - Click settings

2 - Click Brave Rewards at top

3 - Click Manage Brave Rewards

4 - Click Reset

This actually removed all the checkboxes and such, and treats you as if you'd never opted in in the first place.
I guess I'm not sure what the point is.
“Wireguard is a nightmare for any attempt at sane system administration.”

It’s quite simple really: WireGuard is a building block. TFA mentions several systems built on top of WireGuard, that enables sophisticated handling of users/roles, authentication, ACLs, etc.

Seems like Tatiana thought there was an earth shattering story here, then turned up nothing. Had to make something of all the time wasted, so turned it into a shaggy dog story.

Who cares that neighbors in the apartment building and co-workers are wondering what happened to Meek? I don't notify my neighbors when I leave, or check-in with former employers after quitting.

Sounds like his lawyer is still in contact with Meek:

“Mr. Meek is unaware of what allegations anonymous sources are making about his possession of classified documents,” his lawyer, Eugene Gorokhov, said in a statement.

And he's the one complaining about details getting out:

“It is highly inappropriate, and illegal, for individuals in the government to leak information about an ongoing investigation. We hope that the DOJ [Department of Justice] promptly investigates the source of this leak.”

...so apparently Meek doesn't want any publicity around this incident.

I love going in to the office. I willingly go 5 days a week despite the 45 min commute. The reason is I get separation from work and home, I can talk with people, get free lunch, etc. Also, I'm much more productive and in the face of an impending recession, I want to be as productive as possible so that I can keep my job.
There's a type of error for which the user can be given detailed step-by-step instructions (permission issues, etc). But to some extent, errors should handle situations the programmer didn't expect. If it is possible to provide detailed step-by-step fixes, then the program should do those steps itself.

Adding a URL might not be a great plan, never know how long an old copy of a program will stick around, might not control that website forever.

The Cato Institute is a conservative think tank.

Repealing Jones would effectively kill a huge amount of the US maritime industry and related jobs. Literally offshoring those jobs to foreign ships and wage slave crews. Just like we offshored union manufacturing jobs to China in the 80s and 90s.

We can discuss ways to make it more efficient but keeping jobs onshore has very real benefits. It's the core of our middle class.

I did not opine on whether or not people should have had a baby or for what reasons.
He's asking why you prefer WFH and you didn't answer him.
Get a second wife. I’m not even kidding, this is an available solution to your problem. You can even move to a place where polygamy is legal to register it. Then you can have a relationship with both wives and support them and have kids with the younger one.
It really depends where you live both in Europe and the US. Many people in Europe have long commutes (and even public transportation can be time-consuming). At least some number of people in the US whose companies have city offices choose to live in the city and walk/cycle/take public transit but many do not.

If I were to commute to our city office it's something like 3 hours round trip daily. Even being able to go 95% of the way by train, that's exhausting. (I did it for 18 months half-time with another company. It was not sustainable.) However, I could also--if I chose--live within walking distance and certainly easy public transit distance of our office. I choose not to do so because I like my semi-rural house.

But if I did live a short walk away from our office I would go in semi-regularly. And can certainly understand someone who lives and works in a city wanting to go into an office--especially given they probably live in a relatively small apartment.

>than Denver, Dallas, or most other big US cities.

Dallas yes. Denver has a pretty nice downtown. Boston, Manhattan, even San Francisco. It's a matter of where the office is and where you choose to live.
I love my midwest city. It doesn't have a lot of flashy tourist traps, but man the walks are great. I can get to local grocery, hardware and entertainment in a few minutes. Tons of great parks close by and really friendly people all around. Cost of living is so cheap that we can easily afford to travel whenever and wherever we want.
