So that's fine and all, but the problem is that large corporations impose top-down one-size-fits-all policies -- a lot of us work for large corporations. If the Dems lose the next election, corporations will probably continue to consolidate down to an ever-smaller set with more employees each. A large corporation mandating only one policy for the entire bazillion-employee set doesn't make sense. We need per-team flexibility, and most of the billionaire CEO's don't seem to want to allow that.
It is a bit perverse, right? A solution called "kill bill" that... creates bills.
This is incredibly well done! Congrats. It’s such a solid layer on top of recent developments and offers instant value.

Wish you much success!!
> Remember all the shit Firefox got for bundling Pocket? Difference is, Pocket actually makes a little bit of sense in the context of a browser.

Pocket makes people mad because we expect Mozilla to be better. By the way, where is the source for the server side of Pocket? I can't find it anywhere, Mozilla lied about it. Whatever Brave did wrong doesn't excuse anything Mozilla does wrong, nor vice versa. They're all snakes, corrupted years ago by Google's influence, kept alive suckling on the teat of the biggest monopolist in the room. Both of them.

In Argentina the term is "ñoqui", which means "gnocchi". There's a tradition of eating gnocchi on the 29th of the month, and "ñoquis" traditionally showed up at the office only on the 29th of the month to receive their paycheck. Nowadays I assume most of them do direct deposit, but I don't know any ñoquis personally, so I can't ask.

Normally ñoquis are a result of corruption, though, not bureaucratic mixups. The boss is in on the plan; the point is to funnel an apparently legitimate flow of money to someone in exchange for some kind of favor that has nothing to do with the job they are supposedly hired for. (Hoping this isn't a spoiler: that does eventually happen in the story.)
It's always interesting how often people confuse the dichotomy of "strong/weak typing" with "static/dynamic typing". They are orthogonal to each other indeed - you can have languages that are in each of the four possible combinations.
Glad that I could be of help!

I'm not even saying that all of the movement's tactics are bad (I really like some of the community-driven work in accessibility that it's driven, for instance) - just that most of the prominent ones are, to the point where I personally am strongly opposed to the movement itself.
It's GPL with the 'classpath exception' so that you're even exempt from the GPL the you link. Seems pretty good licensing? Do you prefer even more permissive than that?
I typically think of Patreon as a way for content creators to charge folks for "memberships." So, while I think their billing mechanisms may work for you from a mechanical perspective, I'd perhaps look at alternatives for monthly billing for your client side software licensing.

As for Killbill being overkill.. I think that running/managing your own payment/subscription service behind the scenes probably isn't something you want to spend your time doing, nor would your customers want you spending your time on. Search google for "SaaS billing" and you'll find plenty of options to choose from.

Thank you Tyler! You've done some great work with motionarray! I love bootstrapped companies!

Would definitely be open to collaborators, will need to figure that out later. Today need to code a bunch of features :)
> I think it’s basically that a lifetime of being told what to do with your time atrophied your ability to direct your time when you had control.

I also think humans need to do nothing occasionally and that it's actually extremely valuable. If you look at the entirety of human history this whole 5 days of work 48 weeks of the year is very new. For most of human history we would have had intense bursts of activity (hunting, harvesting, planting etc.) followed by quite a bit of nothing. I think even as recently as the middle ages the average person was working about 150 days a year (though often in bursts from sun-up to sun-down 6 days a week until the work was done).

I took a year off of work, i traveled some, spent time with my now ex-wife, kept up on the latest skills and did a couple personal projects. But most of the time i rested, had a lie-in every morning, worked on my cooking skills, and played video games.

At some point i aim to do a similar thing again and spend a year slowly re-modeling a house (this has the dual benefit of being fun, gaining me new skills and not being anything close to a year of full time labor)

I'd love to see this. I'm a huge fan of the information availability the internet has brought and a firm believer that education is transforming into something we do of our own volition and in our own way, aided by freely available information online, and what you're working on sounds like potentially an excellent tool congruent with these ideas. Do you have something you could show yet?
>That said, there must be reasons why Live is sooo popular...?

the clip launching workflow makes it a great file for live sets, improvised electronic (or any other kind of music based on blocks), and so on

very streamlined for easy focus - many DAWs suffer from windows upon windows, in Live it's all (including built-in fx and instruments) in a single, non-MDI window, and all tools, fx, instruments, windows use the same widgets and concepts (not the case in e.g. Logic or Cubase)

automatic (and good) sync-to-tempo for audio, including several manual manipulation options (pitch/tempo/combo/etc)

opinionated fx and built-in instruments tuned to electronic and experimental music (including a full-on built-in version of Max, one of the most popular visual programming environments for building your own fx, instruments, audio/midi processing tools, and so on)
> if you google, for example, "china outsourcing effect on middle class", it's easy to find research supporting the conclusion

If your topic is broad enough, you can abuse napkin math any way you want to reach any sort of conclusion.

Virtually all instances of protectionism has caused the industry being protected to stagnate. We saw this with automobiles, and we're seeing this with Boeing. If Intel weren't facing competition from TSMC and Samsung, they would happily milk their 14mm process for who knows how long.

The only time when protectionism is a unequivocally a good thing is with services with no obvious societal benefit. I don't think China loses out from not having Instagram or Facebook. Even if their domestic alternatives are worse, they aren't missing out on much. Likewise, I don't think we'd lose out much if everyone was forced to use Youtube Shorts instead of TikTok.
This is the type of project that should gain more traction / support.

Good name as well. Catchy!
Let's pretend that there's a global conflict and US is both against "United Asia" and "European Empire" - what would be a need for such a fleet?

If we're talking about US/European allies vs China - then European allies have the ships and capacity to build more.

You have to give a concrete example where US would need to have a merchant fleet, where allies aren't willing to provide.
I did try on my iPhone and it didn't appear to work :(
There's also competitors like Binary Ninja. Ida is best at Mac/ios and Windows by far though, so it's still used in those spaces alot. But for embeded, linux and whatever else, Ghidra/Binja are good enough that employers literally won't buy it anymore and are refusing it to senior engineers and telling them to use something else.
It’s crazy that they pay managers so much and don’t give them this autonomy at most companies
Yes. Catholics are fairly picky about the substance of the Eucharist.

> The bread used in the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharistic Sacrifice must be unleavened, purely of wheat, and recently made so that there is no danger of decomposition. It follows therefore that bread made from another substance, even if it is grain, or if it is mixed with another substance different from wheat to such an extent that it would not commonly be considered wheat bread, does not constitute valid matter for confecting the Sacrifice and the Eucharistic Sacrament. It is a grave abuse to introduce other substances, such as fruit or sugar or honey, into the bread for confecting the Eucharist. Hosts should obviously be made by those who are not only distinguished by their integrity, but also skilled in making them and furnished with suitable tools.
I would suggest that most grandparents don't want to look after their grandkids for 40 hours a week. And for that matter, many grandparents have jobs of their own – the average age of a first time grandparent in the USA is 50.
i lived and worked in berlin, and then the bay for ~7 years.

If i still lived in berlin, i'd probably be going into the office. Transit is good, the city is cool/fun, and although its gotten a lot more expensive you can still afford to live in a decent place close to work on an engineers salary.

In SFO bay the equation is different - unless you're already rich (or young and want to share small apartments), you cant afford to live close to work, so commutes are long and terrible. The city isnt as fun after dark. I LIKE the bay, like being in person ,and commuted for years, but the tradeoff isnt worth the commute/lifestyle hit for me now.
Upper management/exec are pushing RTO, because guess what, they're already rich enough to avoid the commute/lifestyle issues, so they are a bit blind to the reasons for RTO resistance.

We have offices in other cheaper cities - they have a higher % of voluntary WFO for similar reasons. The SFO office is lowest.
I want to communicate with people in person. If I'm going to pair with someone, I want that to be at their desk. If I'm going to brainstorm with somebody or go over some complex math, I want to do that at a real physical whiteboard. I have yet to meet anybody who communicates better over slack or zoom than they do in person. So either I want you to be in the office for the greater communication bandwidth, or you want me to waste time trying to exchange ideas over sub-optimal channels. Either way, we're at an impasse.
I rarely wish pain on others, but for you, I wish migraines caused by pressure on the sides of your head, like some people have. Maybe a lesson will be learned.
Yep we encourage people to turn off our app (Gloo) a few days a week similarly to having "no meeting days". In the end, people can always decide how often they want to be reachable for.
> Have you worked in an open office or cubical farm? My hearing the sales guys isn't 'collaboration', it's distraction. Hearing my coworkers at the much-lauded ping pong table having a great time while I'm trying to get work done isn't collaboration either. Collaboration is often code for 'meetings'. As evidenced by my outlook calendar, those haven't stopped. I find that people who make this argument are those who either spend the majority of their day 'collaborating' or those who have offices they can escape to when they need to think.

That. The one medium-sized (several hundred employees) open-floor office I've worked in, I left in a matter of months in part because it was intensely stressful and difficult to actually do work. Loud, motion everywhere, people walking behind me constantly. Even the goddamn floor (so, also my monitor) shook when people walked on it, which was never not happening because there were so many people.

Go fucking figure, the managers had offices. And, HR got their own walled-off room just for them. Gee, I wonder why. Maybe because the experience for everyone else was basically hell and they knew it.

I could see good offices experiencing a decline in productivity with WFH, but I'm not sure that's the kind of office most people work in, and the bad kind would almost have to be more productive with WFH.

Maybe you should have thought of that before having children? Some people aren't cut out to be parents, and that's OK.
This is an interesting start. I have many questions though:

1. Why no public forum or (heavens forfend) a standards body community group, for the spec?

2. For the data model, why not use the excellent ActivityStreams2? The actual data model that contains the posts etc (https://atproto.com/lexicons/bsky-app) is a serious step backwards from the event-log architecture of AS2.

3. Why reinvent gRPC/JSON-RPC? Seriously, of /all/ the things to reinvent, why RPC?

4. I wonder what the team will do for authentication and authorization? Will they go the ACL route? (In which case, are they going to include Solid-style client identity, in the ACLs?) Will they go the capabilities route? (UCANs / zCaps). This is the genuine hard part.
I would consider it an extremely toxic environment if I'm expected to be online 24/7. There's a reason our industry has rotating on call...
A few of my friends run a bunch of venture-backed startups.

Some are in-office, some are remote. As far as I can see, all of them seem roughly as happy and roughly as successful.

To be honest, I prefer the office. At my company we all work from the office. So it looks like people self-select into these categories and so it's all for the best.

In-office people work with in-office people. Flexible work people work with flexible work people.
Have a friend this kinda happened to. He joined a company as a consultant. Right before starting, the team he was assigned to got dismantled. They still wanted him for a new team/project about to start. That of course got delayed and delayed, so he had no team or tasks assigned to him for months.

And it's not like he was hiding. He never got access cards etc, so he had to ask the boss each morning to come and let him in. Then said he still didn't have a project or anyone ordering access for him. Then sat as his desk all day and went home.
It's a proxy war for Brandon Eich's political beliefs. Plus a few advertising webmasters thrown in who are really bent out of shape about an adblocker being enabled by default.

BTW I use firefox and voted for those things Eich is against. Not that it should even matter, but it does. That's what this whole flamewar of a comment page is actually about.

> What surprises me is that almost always these people don't use their free time to do something productive

Relatable.

I am at a job currently where I can get past by working 3 hours a day. But what do I do with rest of time...well not much.

And I felt the same way during Covid when WFH started. If you had told me a month prior to that that I'll be able to save 3 hours extra every day from mindless commute, in office chatter etc I'd have told you about my grand plans of how I'd make the best use of those 3 hours taking that course I have been meaning to take or reading that book that's lying unread. BUT when I did have those extra 3 hours, I didn't really do much of it.

I guess it's some version of Murphy's law - aimless surfing expands to take the time available for it? Not sure.
Thinking out loud here
I frequently search:
LinkedIn
Slack
if looking up startups: pitchbook/crunchbase/techcrunch / finsmes
industry specific (insurance): coverager, insurance journal, propertycasualty360, etc

Perhaps if I logged into swurl, I could set a column to custom search one or multiple websites using a "site:" appended search (like others have mentioned)
I saw 3 containers with about 4 crud apis per container produce $200-400 bills every month, where they all talked to the same single dynamo and s3 bucket...

For about 4-5 users... You can't imagine the effort of configuring around and keeping up with the latest updates. Saddest part is the frontend had so much glue code, it was not fun to look at.
It is just my preference. But your right, java is very "enterprise" hence my trepidation. I think there are much better enterprise worthy languages now, like Go. Which are far easier to develop and maintain.
The Russians are relocating/withdrawing from Kherson… could this presage a nuclear attack if the city is taken? Are the Russians allowing the Ukrainians to fight, expend resources taking Kherson, and once it is re-taken, nuke it?
Wow, thanks! Hopefully I remember that when I need it.

It just works!
It's a serious safety issue. When I replaced my car's headlights with a popular aftermarket model they pointed way too low, to a unsafe degree on unlit roads. Unlike the OEM lights, the angle could not be adjusted. The product is unsafe and should not be sold in the first place. This should absolutely be caught during a safety inspection.
it's not a mobile Live controller app - that's where you'd expect to see a virtual transport.

it's a mobile Live sketchpad app.
What if I can't fit in a shoebox and can't afford anything larger? What if I have a dog and want them to have a yard that doesn't require me to leash them every time they want to go outside? I don't mind sharing a yard with neighbors, heck I would even share a kitchen space if I knew it would be maintained well and available when I need it. But none of that is even an option.

I don't buy the idea that only hyper-dense cities can be walkable. The fact that NYC, Boston, Chicago, etc. are the closest thing we have to anti-car living speaks directly to OP's point about the US not prioritizing building comfortable communities.
> And yes, there are people who work only to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary.

And what does that have to do with preferring to work from home?

It's almost comical the implication that those same people, pre-COVID, weren't going to the office and phoning it in.

IMO the two topics--being... I dunno... not ambitious, and working from home--are entirely orthogonal concepts. And the implication that people who advocate for wfh options are more likely to "not care to invest themselves" is, charitably, misguided.

If anything, wfh makes it possible for more people to achieve their professional goals since the labour market has opened up significantly for folks in other geographies, or who might have restrictions in their personal life (e.g. being a caregiver, having disability, etc) that make commuting a significant barrier.

> What exactly is wrong with that, or why do you think the OP implies there is something wrong with that?

Because the OP goes on to say:

I always saw tech as the field where a disproportionally large amount of people truly love what they do. Mostly, because it takes so much grit and persistence to get good at it that most people wouldn't succeed unless they see something in it beyond putting food on the table.

It's clear they view "grit" and "persistence" as virtues, and "not [caring] to invest themselves beyond what is necessary" as a vice.

Frankly, this smells pretty strongly of hustle culture, and I've had more than enough of that.
Same here. It really is a headache and slow compared to a nice Go, Rust or C program.
hey it's dogpile but modern. nice
It's not about iOS, it's about Bluetooth.

In iOS you can still use regular headphones with the adapters.
What I take issue with is failing to distinguish between

1. I am passionate about my work, both the process and the product, I'm an essential contributor, I care about my coworkers personally, and I do everything in my power to help my team succeed.

2. I come into the office every day.

In my opinion, these things just have no connection to each other. The company doesn't need me in the office. My coworkers don't need me in the office. My manager doesn't need me in the office. If any of these people or organizations think they need me in the office, they should explain why. Then I will tell them why they are wrong, because they are wrong. They can fill whatever hole my absence from the office left with other things, and they can do so much more easily than I can waste 2 hours a day commuting that is better spent on my family.
people make grammatical mistakes often enough when typing that you kind of need to parse sentences in the way that makes the most sense. this sometimes means parsing correct grammar as a mistake because the fixed version makes perfect sense. then you read the article and laugh at yourself because yep, both kinds of proton are quite complicated.

What's the easiest to "play" with Ableton, but with software only?
Very little innovation is done in the area of coding on a small-form mobile device. Early attempts are needed in order to get feedback and learn from experience what works and what doesn't.

It's nice to see repl.it is at least attempting to address this "market". Their previous mobile app was so bad I uninstalled it and used the web site directly instead. Hopefully this works better.
It has to do with facility type, I believe. I think operations run out of homes are “family daycare,” but I’m not 100% sure.
I love IDA but it is too rich for my blood so I have gone with Binary Ninja. Not perfect but continually evolving.
As far as electrical fields changing things, anyone looked into any current research related to Andrew Crosse's work in 1837?

"Andrew CROSSE

Abiogenesis of Acari

Introduction:

In 1837, Andrew Crosse reported to the London electrical Society concerning the accidental spontaneous generation of life in the form of Acurus genus insects while he was conducting experiments on the formation of artificial crystals by means of prolonged exposure to weak electric current. Throughout numerous strict experiments under a wide variety of conditions utterly inimical to life as we know it, the insects continued to manifest. The great Michael Faraday also reported to the Royal Institute that he had replicated the experiment. Soon afterwards, all notice of this phenomenon ceased to be reported, and the matter has not been resolved since then.

My dad had a friend who did similar at an even larger company. The way the story was passed down to me, his whole floor was laid off while he was on some sort of leave/vacation and so the paperwork didn't get filed right, leaving him disconnected from the organizational tree but still in payroll. It's amazing the mistakes bureaucracy can make.
Usually it's still lighter. When I have back problems I will pick up the iPad and take it with me rather than my MacBook Pro. It has the added bonus of being easier to read pdfs and annotate them while traveling too (it's not perfect. If I'm gong to be digging around my email archives I prefer to do that on a Mac but that's partly the way our company limits Outlook on iPads.
Parkinson's Law actually--although the original version was a little different. (Expansion of British Admiralty staff even as the navy was shrinking.)
Asking people is mostly bad habits from a culture too ingrained into the whole 'ask first' thing, and often times it is the people trying to help that are to blame.

I had this recently. Many individuals like to play hero and make sure I don't get stuck because their business is an undocumented mess. Before I even read the thing and tried, they are already trying to give me the answer. When I ask 'is this documented and if so, how would it be discovered easily' their first reaction is 'no' followed by a lengthy explanation which should be in the wiki and easy for newcomers to find.

And it shows when I forget a few days later because my brain never put in the effort to get to the answer and my memory is that of a fruit fly's.
Can I paint some colors as a starting point (like img2img) and let it finish the rest?
