> Unless you're claiming that all human interaction is intrinsically partisan

Basically, yes. Most people are out for themselves (which is of course partisan); those who believe in some other more altruistic model are operating under a philosophy that is also partisan ("We should be for others in addition to ourselves").

> They're often motivated extremely strongly by money

I agree; that is also a political position. When considering a company with that position, one must ask "Okay, so what is the most damage they could do in pursuit of the almighty dollar?" and keep an eye out for behavior fitting that (are they cutting corners, abusing workers, abusing resources in a way that pushes externalities onto other people), and make one's own decisions accordingly. There's a reason we have laws requiring declaration of activity.

> I straight-up don't believe it, and you've provided no evidence to support your claim.

That's fair; I assumed this was a given and didn't think it needed support because of observations of how things have gone in the past decade or so (as people have come to realize that there are consequences to the "just get along attitude:" things don't get better for those for whom getting along is not an option).

There's a lot of writing on the topic, but I might start with this if your focus is on how things have changed in recent years. https://daily.jstor.org/paul-krugman-everything-is-political...

WFH makes family things so much easier that WFO can't really compete. On top of that the office is noisy, uncomfortable and located at the end of a stressful, expensive commute.

For me one day a week in the office seems like a good balance.
Write down a realistic but achievable set of tasks/subtasks at the start of the day. Start them, when it's time for lunch, take 1.5 hours and do something totally not work. A nap, a run, a swim something active and restorative. Then go back to work, and you'll finish you're list probably before the end of the day.

If you don't, resize you're list untill you can steal away a 1.5 hour lunch break each day. If you're doing something like hitting the gym or running you'll find you have a lot more energy and generally feel better. That may not solve the problem of liking your work, but you'll at least be in good shape and rested to deal with it.

If anyone calls you out on the long lunch breaks, just cancel / don't attend meetings to make up for missed time. and block book weeks and months of calander time out with complex sounding meetings no one is invited to.

Give yourself space. You're probably still burnt out a bit.
Those are just mere test. You must use IDA to RE itself to fix those bugs. Then you have truly earned the right to use IDA bug free. ;)
Contest matter as I have learnt. I held a similar opinion to yours sometime back. But like most things in life it’s all about trade offs.

My previous role had a hybrid policy WFH 3 days and then from the office. To a large extent it really didn’t matter where you worked, so long as work got done. I however rarely WFH. My office was about a 15 minute walk from my where I lived, that commute was never a challenge for me. I even used different routes sometimes just to walk a bit more. I did enjoy the occasional developer discussions as well, I was almost always in the office.

Fast forward working for new company now and I hated commuting to work. Having to sit through traffic is a complete waste of my time imo. After a few weeks I had renegotiate my schedule with my employer. If WFO becomes a hustle in doesn’t benefit any party.

Getting work done should be more important than being at work. Employers should be able to trust that employees will execute. Also always being at the office wouldn’t save my bum if my employer wants me gone. People should have the peace of mind needed to work.
This is an extraordinary claim. What is so ruthless about the administration's actions? Who is being gone after?

Brave has some "blockchain" based features, to appeal to those who are drawn to that hype. They make money by selling ads, either for crypto-related companies or else using a crypto-based mechanism.

Absolutely all of this is either opt-in, or else trivial to opt-out from with a few clicks.

Mozilla is an entity that essentially exists at the whim of Google. Funded by Google to sit in the corner and be semi-relevant at best, so that Google can stave off anti-trust attacks on Chromium. It earns a half-billion dollars per year in revenue, and essentially pisses away most of that on MBA nonsense that has nothing to do with maintaining a web browser.

You don't have to care about or pay attention to any of that to use Firefox.

Neither of these two organizations are indisputably "perfect". If you are the type of person for whom your web browser choice is a component of your personal "identity", then attaching either of these logos to your own personal brand can be problematic.

However, wrapping up your personal brand identity in web browser selection is ridiculous. All of the above is essentially irrelevant nonsense. Meanwhile, back in the land of objective reality... the world has standardized on Chromium for better or worse, and so Brave has a bigger plugin ecosystem and far fewer if any compatibility issues with any website.
Ah, bandlab is very nice. Thx für the suggestion!
I don’t think this is necessarily new. On the level of fields the universe is not nice little particles or waves in neat groups in a vacuum. It’s a roaring, swirling turbulent ocean. Yes what we call a proton is still a particular configuration, but it’s not existing in a vacuum, it can entangle with other stuff. When we do some experiment it’s like trying to pick a particular wave out of the ocean. Seeing a charm anti charm pair popping up sometimes shouldn’t really be a surprise.

There’s nothing wrong with the 3 quark description of a proton, it’s a model, it’s useful up to a certain level of accuracy.
I'm sorry, I'm pretty sure you're talking about a max headroom episode...
Please substantiate your claims. Your single sentence managed to pack three unsubstantiated claims into it.

* "Started with" implies that there were no motivating factors for the GDPR, nor a situation being responded to. Online surveillance is a clear harm being done to users, to which the GDPR is a clear response.

* "Ignorant lawmakers" implies that the law was poorly crafted with little subject matter knowledge. This hasn't been my experience in reading it, that the GDPR is well-crafted to make certain unethical business models be infeasible, while avoiding impact to data collection that is essential to a service.

* "Made web browsing worse" implies that the current state in which surveillance must make itself known is worse than the previous state in which surveillance could be done silently. I would argue that it is a better state, as knowledge of a hostile act is the first step in preventing it.

I'm extremely critical of cryptocurrency, but what Brave is doing makes sense. Blockchain is useful for situations where you need proof of work with untrusted clients.

Firefox's entire revenue model is "get money from Google", how is that not a concern? Ultimately Firefox's money comes from advertising. Brave is trying to find a way to monetize the web that doesn't require user tracking and ads.

I find that thing misleading:

> Second, as malware-laden PDFs are unfortunately still a thing, the less need there is to open a PDF locally, the more it helps your system security.

To read PDFs, Firefox downloads them locally, so that is not what differentiates it from other PDF-reading software.

Sure, maybe Firefox's viewers is more secure than Adobe's, but in the end both parse PDFs locally.

The Making Sense podcast episode with Russ Roberts[1] touched on these points with a reference to Charles Darwin who at some point made a pros/cons list of getting married. All the pros were rather boring practical things. Roberts argue that it was missing all the positive things that you don't see as a bystander (emotion based). The same goes for having children - you cant see the warm feeling inside that most parents still have for their kids despite all the hard work that is very visibile to others

You constantly repeating your opinion does not transform it in fact. Once again, stop projecting...

> younger tech workers are losing a big chunk of what it means to build work relationships (which are some of the best)

I dont want to judge but its really hard not to if you see work relationships as some of the best relationships available.

They are absolutely relationships that are formed from forced repeated interaction. Maybe I have had a few co workers who I would have naturally become friends with outside of work in the past but I can count those on one hand. If the only reason I am friends with someone is because we are both forced to see each other multiple times a day five times a week then its not a good relationship. Maybe this is a young person thing? A type A person thing?

Actual friends, family, sig others, hell even casual acquaintances that I see around town that can develop into actual friendships are all more valuable than work friends.

Yes, I should have remembered it being Orion. Just seeing your link reminded me how their theory said the pyramids were positioned along the Nile similar to how Orion is positioned to the Milky Way. Now I'm going to read the wiki link to see how my memory holds up.

> It's interesting to me that people seem generally comfortable with the mechanisms browsers use to determine if a site is unsafe in the sense that it has a track record of carrying malware ("Google has detected harmful content") but get really upset about the possibility that a similar system could be used to protect users from having their minds hacked by info-charlatans.

It's so much easier to tell whether a website is distributing malware than it is to tell when an "info-chartalan" is "hijacking someone's mind" that those things are in entirely different difficulty classes.

It's completely impossible to even get a small group of people in the same political party to agree on a definition for "misinformation", let alone a large group, let alone a group spanning multiple political parties, let alone be able to consistently tag content in the same way, let alone do that at scale.

We already have people who disagree about the nature of reality, or claim that truth and morals are subjective.

You might as well try comparing adding 3-digit numbers together with being a judge in a court of law. One of those things is mostly mechanical, although nontrivial to do at scale - the other is extremely messy and involves a massive amount of human factor. It's entirely reasonable to have significantly different views about them (and standards for who you let perform them).
Some things are more important than price efficiency.

>I don't know what they do.

That's the secret. With some parents, when you find out you realize they probably aren't parents who spend much time with their kids.

I have a friend who founded a startup a year before becoming a dad. His spouse works for a startup as well. He lives in a different city so we rarely meet nowadays.

After about 2 years of listening to them talk about how adorable their kid is and all the time they spend with them, I found out that the kid is dropped off at daycare by mom at 8AM. Nanny picks the kid up from Daycare and puts him to bed at 8PM. Mom and dad basically only see their kid on weekends. Even then, dad is usually too busy and it's pretty obvious that the 3 year old kid has realized he can't rely on his dad for anything.

People can raise kids however they want. There are entire cultures and countries where kids are raised by maids and nannies because population density is high and labor is cheap. But they are more honest about who is raising the kids and that's why they can work 12 hour days and focus on their careers or themselves above all else.

Somebody has to have the time take care of those kids.

I agree with your first point about remote workers in an office-first org, but I disagree with this:

> That said, if the company is remote-first but also has offices, then that is optimal, should make everybody comfortable, and allows everybody to pick their choice.

Those who want WFO are really asking for consistent in person work and collaboration. If you're going to an office, and there's few people there, and every meeting is a video call, and your team's work style is async then you are not getting an office experience- you are doing remote work from somewhere that isn't your house.

I just see the only satisfying outcome here being one in which there are some remote orgs and some office based orgs, and they largely don't mix. Structured hybrid models also make sense, but only if they are quite formalized (eg: in office M-W).
China's Underground Market for Chips Draws Desperate Automakers
We have a project that is basically an internal, stripped down version of CodePen and others like it. All code samples are stored in git.

The main challenge for something like our app is search. Git is good at creating files and managing versions/branches but not good at search files or their content. I'm not a git expert to fully backup that claim but that's been our experience. You can layer on your own search capabilities if you need it but then you might want to start asking if a full DB is better.
While not totally awesome, OpenVPN is miles beyond Wireguard when it comes to credential management. There are several auth plugins, you can use "the usual stuff" like PAM, and through that LDAP/Kerberos, ActiveDirectory, RADIUS, etc.. For higher security demands, client certificates are also possible and standardized X.509, PKCS#11/15 like CaC, Yubikeys and usual employee ID cards work. Also, OpenVPN supports at least some form of IP assignment and DNS/Route management.

Wireguard has none of that, not even the notion of a user. There are just keys in a special (unsupported by anything else) format that are assigned an IP address statically in a file. Oh, and the frigging software writes into that config file if you change anything.

Wireguard is a nightmare for any attempt at sane system administration.
Sure, a lot of foreign investment in Ireland has to do with tax loopholes, but you're not answering the question fully here. Tech companies also like Ireland because it has a large, highly-educated fluent English speaking workforce. We also have a high cost of living here, which contributes to the higher salaries. Ireland is not really a special case - London doesn't have the same tax implications yet it has similar (if not higher) tech salaries compared to Dublin.
That doesn't actually work tho, it doesn't scale the UI. It just reduces the font-size :(

I think the point that folks are trying to make here is that by treating these boys as actors in a system ("conscious bias to correct unconscious bias") is essentially mistreatment via failure to see and treat them as individuals. Teachers should in theory be focusing on the betterment of all of their students as individuals and it is messed up if they are intentionally treating some students worse (lower grades for work of the same quality in this case) in pursuit of some higher goals.

I cannot imagine that, babies and toddlers require attention frequently and randomly. Unless you have zero meetings, loose deadlines, and very asynchronous contact with the rest of the business, it would be a very difficult balance.

Might work for first 6 months when all they do is sleep, eat, and lay around, but as soon as they are moving or aware that they can get things they want, predictability goes out the window. Although, I would not even bet on the first 6 months being easy due to sleep deprivation.

I can understand that it's probably easier to track the numbers of children born to 'women' instead of 'parents', but my observation has been that remote work has resulted in a sea change as to what it means to be a full time working parent.

My boss works long hours and now has 2 kids under the age of 4. Pre-Covid he would have been out of the house from about 7-7 and only able to have moments of interaction at the edges of the day. Now, he works about the same hours, but when he takes a break, when he gets lunch or coffee, when his wife is busy, he can spend time with the kids. Play a little peek-a-boo, read some Dr Seuss, watch them grow. Our company is pushing back-to-work policies and he's pulling every string to get exceptions for our group. I think if push comes to shove then he's gone.

My brood is older but boy I like being there to help with the math homework. Even 10 minute to go though the process of "Here's the strategy, here's an example, here's why it works this way" makes a huge difference. I let them work out the problem by themselves, and 10 minutes later they come back with "I got it!". My partner, the scientist, is in his element. If we're not careful the kids are going to be going back to class and correcting their teachers.

It's redefined what it means to be a working parent. I hope it sticks. I'm old enough that I'm seeing the regrets from parents who quit their jobs to stay home and are in a unenviable situation post-divorce.
I build projects with git as the hosting and backend using code that commits back to it's own repo. Usuauly it's when I need to host, run and store things - and might want to look at historic data. Using github actions, you can do this pretty simply, and free if it's open-source. E.g. https://gist.github.com/ukd1/6efdf12a19036b9edc537e64b1d331e... - a real-world example is https://github.com/ukd1/lvms-events - which each day parses some html --> ical, and hosts it in git.
