I’ve worked at a startup and a large big-tech-lite company during the pandemic and worked remotely off and on starting over a decade ago. I’m no stranger to remote work, but I’ve come to despise it after the pandemic forced it on everyone all the time.

I’ve come to believe it’s absolutely critical for at least juniors to be in-office. The juniors I’ve seen start remotely take far longer to ramp up to speed than in office counterparts. It’s also far more painful for me to help them remotely and communicate via typing than look over their shoulder at their desk. Zoom, Slack, and friends are still a pathetic shadow of what they should be by now, and IMO inadequate.

There are definite social downsides to full remote as well. When I started remotely at my current job my teammates really didn’t engage with me as well as I’m used to. That immediately changed when people finally became comfortable with an in person outing. Having a couple of beers with your colleagues makes you an actual person in their mind instead of some abstract avatar that’s so much easier to blow off.

Full time in person isn’t necessary either for SWEs, but if it were up to me I would make juniors be in-office and have seniors come in for at least a couple of days per quarter.
I don’t advocate for murdering protesters. And traffic can still move with planned closures.

But there are plenty of scenarios where I would choose freeway blockaders having to reap the consequences of their actions vs some innocent citizen stuck in traffic having to suffer or die like if they had a medical emergency.

In a highly contrived hypothetical, if I were rushing my wife to the hospital with a gunshot wound and got stuck in the front line of traffic facing blockaders, and they refused or were unable to move to let me by, yeah, I’d do what I had to do to get my wife to the hospital. And furthermore I’d be doubly pissed at the protesters for the PTSD I’d no doubt suffer if I injured or killed them in the process.

Life isn’t all roses vs tanks, there are a million shades of gray in between and people like you and people who glue themselves to freeway road surfaces have no capacity for nuance. Is it any wonder most people don’t take you seriously in your endeavors? You’re just turning more reasonable people against yourselves.
Predictions Are Just Data
Can't tell if these people simply have a mental illness or are being funded by pro-oil groups to discredit the environmental movement.

Because vandalizing artwork made long ago really makes no sense in the context of climate change and it's definitely discrediting the movement.
This has been tried repeatedly - language idiomatic bindings tend to be clunky compared to (e.g.) a simple | pipeline or a couple of <() io redirections.

Shell is a tool that turns out to be pretty good for some things, particularly composing functionality out of other programs and also doing system configuration/tuning stuff to tailor an environment for other programs. It's also really handy for automating tasks you find yourself repeating.

Programming languages are a tool that are pretty good for other things - making new programs, tricky logic, making the most (or at least more than a shell script launching 1000s of new processes) efficient use of a computer.

Trying to replace one with the other is not really useful - they have different jobs. Learning to use them in conjunction on the other hand... there's a lot of power in that.

By comparison - javascript and html. They don't replace each other - yet they are both computer languages used in the same domain, and both have strengths and weaknesses. They have different jobs. And when you use them in conjunction you get something pretty darn powerful.
Some people's ethical boundaries seem to be placed somewhere between "dismemberment of dissidents" and "endorsement of cryptocurrency".

I started to play, but never finished, both the first and second Witcher games after also purchasing them on sale at massive discounts. I gained an appreciation for advances made in character movement and player input, including UI elements like menus and pop-ups for quick actions. Old games play very clunky.
There are a few big ones out there. For example, one of them made Mike Bloomberg a billionaire.
Are you okay with more money going to content creators?

From https://9to5mac.com/2022/10/24/apple-music-tv-prices-going-u...:

Apple said the increase in Apple Music subscription price was due to increased licensing costs. The company said artists and songwriters will earn more per stream as a result of the pricing tier changes. Regarding Apple TV+, the company said the increased price reflects the growing catalog of original TV shows and movies:
At least for the ones related to trees, it's just a renaming. Below is a link to the PR. When I initially implemented these trees, I chose the names BSTree and RBTree to keep the names short. I'm guessing the person that proposed renaming them did so to make it more obvious what they are.

https://github.com/denoland/deno_std/pull/2400

The standard library is separate from the runtime. It wouldn't break backward compatibility if you were to update. For example, if you were importing RBTree and upgraded Deno to the latest release, it would keep working just fine. You would only really need to switch to using RedBlackTree instead if there was a change made to it that you wanted.

I think the only time you would need to update your standard module imports to be able to use newer versions of the Deno runtime would be if the standard module was depending on runtime APIs that have a breaking change.
Apple designs the products it sells tho. Walmart is more like a curated marketplace... Can't really compare these streams of revenue.
AFAIK Africans, that is, the Bantu and related West African peoples, went directly from Neolithic to Iron Age, skipping Bronze.

For Mediterranean, it's mainly because the whole region, Iraq, and Northwest India/Pakistan were already integrated together as a trading unit, with factors coming hp from Sumer and Assyria to trade with Dilmun, Indus Valley, and Anatolia. Then the Phoenicians traded tin from Iberia and all the way from Britain as well.

Funnily enough, Egypt only adopted bronze (and chariot) at least for their armies after the whole Hyksos invasion stuffs. That might be the basis for Exodus.
Bun is the most excited I have ever been in the JavaScript ecosystem.
The idea that something has to be on the news to be effective is hilarious.

If most Americans curved their consumption (didn’t buy the latest iPhone every year, drove less) that would do way more than any climate change awareness.

I get that people want to do radical acts because they feel good, but that doesn’t mean you are making a big difference.

In short: lack of awareness is not what is in the way of preventing climate change, personal choices are. Personal choices don’t make the news, but are for more important than these acts, which make you feel good but don’t do anything.
You mean privacy wise?

Because security wise I don't see how giving a third party access to your home network is better.
Very cool! I suggest pairing with the Myst soundtrack.

This is so sad. CSS is so hard to do anything in we have to gush over basic animations like this. It’s sad as a former flash developer.
I hope the US will follow suit.
The other day I thought of that... I was wondering if there would be people walking around with an iPhone 14 with photos taken with the camera of an iPhone 1st gen which they transferred every time they upgraded.
> I kept returning in my mind to the question of the interface itself. To how the fictional, fantastical cop-movie interface somehow became a reality.

> This slip between fiction and reality seems to speak more broadly to the role of law enforcement itself, and to how self-mythologizing police narratives go on to shape the world.

Maybe "fiction" isn't the right word, but _every_ new product (or feature) is a "fantasy" before it gets actually built. If people first saw AR overlaying contextual info on top of video in film, I'm guessing that's because it took some further innovations to be able to do it in real time, and reliably, whereas doing it as an effect in post production can be slow and human-adjusted.

This isn't to say that cops _don't_ help perpetuate the perception that they're critical to society in exactly their current form, but this is weak evidence.

I think a more interesting perspective would be (a) how much is spent on police helicopters and (b) how often do they actually yield a result which wouldn't have been achieved otherwise? I wonder if a lot of it is just institutional bloat. "We hired the pilots, and we have the helicopters, and mechanics and fueling infra. If we don't fly them constantly, it will look like a waste, and the program might get a reduced budget next year."
> What's great about Neovim and similar projects: there's a middle ground between a full-blown IDE and a "text-editor".

That's a perfectly fine goal.

I wrote the above in the context of so many comments saying "what's the point of an IDE."

There's absolutely a place for CLI text editors and REPLs.

I simply doubt they will ever replace the IDE as my collection of the more arcane JVM tools.
That's true, although Fool's Theory is full of former CDPR people that worked on W3 and CP. I'm assuming it will be a similar situation to that of Spokko where eventually it might be brought under the CDP umbrella. (That's just speculation though, I don't have any insider knowledge on this).
Another annoying bit on the client side, the Android app appears to choose audio tracks at random even though I have English preferred. I have all of a show ripped the same way with dual audio tracks and jellyfin can't be consistent. Plex never had this issue with this show.

BTC doesn't help with transactions, you still end up trusting a 3rd-party (or the party you're transacting with, in which case a bank transfer would also work fine). There will be no censorship to send your BTC, but you can't give guarantees about what will happen for the other part of the transaction without this trust.

The use-case you mentioned is just that of a bank account. The right to have such a bank account should be enforced by regulation where it's not the case yet, as storing your wealth in an asset with such high volatility is not an actual solution.
I guess we can just call the retail purchase a "one-time fee, one-time delivery subscription" and all is well again...

Hydroelectricity is unfashionable because:

a) there aren't that many places left to build conventional hydro.

b) of the places that are left, there's been a lot of (IMO justified) opposition on the basis that flooding wilderness and disrupting river ecosystems is bad (also, flooding rainforest tends to result in a shedload of CO2 and methane, so the climate effects of conventional hydro are nontrivial).

c) Because of and b, new hydro is pretty much dead in developed countries and difficult to get funding for in the developing world.

d) until very recently, there's been little need for more pumped hydro because it's cheaper to build peaking gas plants, and a wash for the environment because the energy has (mostly) been coming from coal or gas anyway.

e) with the introduction of more and more wind and solar into the grid, the need for energy storage to match supply and demand has become much greater.

f) Hence, there's increasing interest in new pumped storage projects around the world, or other changes to hydro to better match the peakiness of energy prices. These can be either completely new systems, or modifications to existing ones. For instance, rather than running a 100MW generator 24 hours a day, you might put an extra 300MW of capacity but only run it at peak times.

g) Pumped hydro isn't the only game in town for energy storage. Aside from lithium-ion batteries (which is more economically competitive as a storage technology than some seem to think), there's things like iron flow batteries, thermal storage, and, yes, hydrogen.
> ... I can't imagine anything else ever topping it ...

In 2500 (say) this will probably seem like a very funny statement (because some amazing developments we can barely imagine will surely come along and be monetized to an extent we can also barely imagine).

Either that or you're right which would be very bad news for humanity (think the great filter).
I'm still somewhat unclear precisely what problem Jellyfin and Plex are supposed to solve. If you combine Jellyfin with something liks Radarr/Sonarr and Kodi then what do you need Jellyfin for? You could just cut out the middleman and connect Kodi to Radar/Sonarr directly.
Agreed — my example was intended to be mildly hyperbolic.
Go and have a look at the amino acid profiles of seitan and tofu and also their bioavailability in comparison to meat and vegetarian protein sources. And you can talk all you want about people overestimating protein macro but 1 to 2 grams per lb of bodyweight has consistently shown to be optimal. You’ll be hard pressed to find any high performing athlete who isn’t aiming for that outside of endurance sports.

At the end of the day in my experience, a vegan diet is both a lot more hard work and less healthy than a non vegan one. Saying that a vegan diet isn’t any less healthy than a meat eating or vegetarian one is an absolute joke, especially considering there are no vegan foods containing vitamin B12 outside of yeast flakes and artificial supplements.
Ah, I didn't realise that was considered a reasonable option - I mostly rely on downvote or (rarely)flagging
Also, as a person with experience sailing on the Bay, this model immediately seems unusually accurate. It shows, for example, the Angel Island wind shadow moving around correctly as it does during the day, which I have never seen in another model.

Could anyone with more understanding of meteorology (or OP) please explain what is different about this model vs say the ECMWF model that you can see in apps like Windy, that are supposedly great, but just don't seem to get these features right? Those models are incredibly bad when dealing with the unusual local geographic features on the bay. What resolution are they operating at?
"all it is, is a little prick in the arm. Quite literally. Nothing more than that."

Alright then, I'll just poke myself with a sewing needle and you can count that as a vaccination, if that's quite literally all it is.
The problem to me is that Meta is not pursuing the "Web 2.0 concept."

Anyone who knows the digital gaming industry understands. Content is hard.

The Metaverse seems like it has Zuc supplying a vast amount of first party content, instead of integrating with third parties better to supply skins and content.
I guess they really are making America great again /s
The most amazing to me is how Apple reversed its fortunes with the Mac. According to a quick search of Wikipedia (haven't checked further), Mac worldwide market share was 5.7% in 1996 (after years of decline). It then dropped out of the top 5 for the next 20 years -- the page doesn't give numbers other than top 5, but in 2006 Toshiba was #5 with 3.8% so it was below that. Not only did it manage to bring its share back to 1996 levels, but it's now at 9%. And that's worldwide -- US market share is probably larger.

I can't think of another company that has had such a stunning turnaround for a product line that was nearly headed the way of many other hardware vendors (some of whom made pretty good products, I had a NEC back in the day and it was a good machine).
Why is that? Is it because of the expense of the flights themselves?
This would be handy if Chrysler also let you reset the codes without a scanner. But at least a generic $15 bluetooth dongle off Amazon will still do the trick.
I used to and now have a phone that’s 4 years old. I don’t plan on upgrading any time soon. There is nothing compelling about the newer models. “Better camera” pushed a lot of upgrades for a while, but my camera is good enough.

"Saved over 30 hours of manual work, where the worker had to find a PDF, Excel sheet row contents, and information from one other data source, combine them into a formatted email with this information following certain conditions, and look up the right email to send it to. This was done with Python and the gmail api, <whatever the pdf library was, I forget>, and manual string parsing, building hashmaps of the information and sending the emails out once every 10 seconds to honor the rate limiting. Parsing failures or any other exception was logged for manual review."

All that extra detail seems trivial to me and covered well enough by the gist provided. Is this version really that much better for these details? Is it even enough detail for you yet? It feels like too much detail to me.

It was something about tax ID's and temporary merchant licenses for the state of Maryland.
It is not that simple, the high orbits mean it is very very difficult for solid propellant based ICBM variants to reach with a meaningful payload, also given the orbits it is much easier to perform early detection and make evasive maneuvers.

Also remember even if you did launch on liquid rockets, It is not easy to launch them in quick succession or with stealth. Liquid rockets needs a lot of time to load fuel, needs a ton of auxiliary equipment( cryogenic fuel storage at-least) and have limited shelf life once loaded which means they are limited to few known sites which you can quickly take offline after the first attack/launch.

Solid rockets/ICBMs can be launched from variety of platforms some of them very mobile and also given their lower footprint - Silos and other sites can be hidden and missiles moved around to retain the strike capability.

ASATs are primarily designed to target low flying spy sats[1], taking few key ones out can at the right time can potentially deliver few hours of advantage in a battle before alternative sats can be rerouted. Communication and navigation sats on the other hand are designed to operate even during normal times when few go offline without loss of operational capabilities .

[1] Also this is much easier to justify domestically and globally than say communication ones even if they were dual use.
Everything with a woman protagonist that tries to ape male roles is probably going to be pretty bad.
No worries. I appreciate it. I'm going to see if I can reproduce the issue and try @Bewelge's solution.

Getting their opposition to engage with the brainwashed denier masses is exactly what the money wants. They can leverage money and scale to convert and you can’t.

Hitting them in the art is a bit of class-oriented warning, and if you don’t see the subtlety of what’s happening I’d argue that’s on you.

edit: Not that I’m not sympathetic. I spent 2019 in a dark place admiring the folks who managed to shut down that UK airport just by flying drones.

This right here. My work requires me to jump back to a Windows machine occasionally (but not for a good long while), and while I always appreciated the silence of the ARM MacBook Air - it's only in firing the windows box back up that I was hit with just how obnoxiously loud it was.

I've had to rip the dGPU out of the machine and cut the fan thresholds back to virtually nothing just to make the machine tolerable now. A lot of what Apple does is stuff you don't need, but it definitely spoils you.

This leaves company shares with a price to earnings ratio of 12. Given the size of the company and difficulty such companies have growing, this looks to be about fair value.

An investor with a long time horizon and the ability to see past the obvious social ill this company is committing might find a good entry point soon.

Quite a lot of pearl clutching going on in this comment.

Here's the quote about the street names:

> Second, I am struck by the design of the interface itself: the sci-fi overlay of street names, borders, parcel numbers, target distances, and so on.

Struck. Doesn't sound like a value judgement to me. The only thing the author has an explicit problem with is the level of detail the camera captures. I see two sentences in reference to this. I wonder why you thought the first sentence was necessary (I'll leave the arguments that don't actually address anything in the article alone).
Not to speak for OP, but the fridge is just one example of millions. If the product involves me doing any research on it ahead of time, or trying to debate the merits of competing products, it's almost always advertised to me ad nauseam post-purchase. One example of many, I bought a subwoofer in August for my studio and have been bombarded with ads for the very same sub ever since, even just this morning.

Edit: I'd also like to see a statistic, re: "Most people who buy fridges have recently bought a fridge". If that's the case, then the fail rate for fridges on the market is egregiously high. You say "sometimes fridges malfunction", but I can't square away that "sometimes" with the phrase "most people" used earlier.

The situation already exists on Mac for example and it’s very inconvenient imo to have to buy everything from a different website, trying to keep up who charges what and when, keeping track of the license codes etc. I’m not a fan.
