Society generally disagrees that unclear or unresponsive communication is welcomed. If someone speaks to me, I believe giving and them expecting a respectful response is not entitlement on their part.

> Because they can.

That's not really an answer to basically any question. Yes, a person can do anything, but actions also have consequences. Also, frustration is a legitimate emotion for anyone. It's okay for someone to be frustrated and admit so in a respectful manner. Being frustrated does not make one an evil or entitled person by default.

Lastly, there are different approaches and perspectives, which is also fine. For open source development, there is no one true approach that everyone is going to agree with. But I do think clear communication will reduce a lot of friction no matter the approach.

I once came across a project where the maintainer clearly stated that they will never adjust the license. Is it frustrating? Yes. Do I disagree? Yes. But it's their choice, and they clearly stated it. So I grunt to myself and move on.
Given the writer's handle and what I know about AI and GPT-3, it probably IS the internet!
I've always wanted to look into these other books! (I even purchased The Reasoned Schemer - but failed to start reading it). Someday... probably when I retire.
Of course, in some places huge multinational organisations were found to be protecting child rapists and by and large got to keep running schools. Not sure governments are about to start caring about child welfare.
You still have to trust that data was recorded into a blockchain correctly/faithfully.

So you can never truly remove trust. I'm not sure a immutable ledger is any more useful than a database if there is still some sort of required trust component.
>The "benefits" are primarily "collaboration"

I haven't seen a lot of empirical work on this. Loooooooots of hand-waving by those who try to justify in-office work, though. Not much consideration about the opportunity costs and tradeoffs though.
How transacting through a bank to move money on/off crypto exchanges could be "risky" for the bank? Unless banks don't want account holders to spend (or lose) their money, to keep better balance sheets.. but banks shouldn't dictate what customers do with their cash. Exactly the reason customers want to be less dependent on high-street banks and keep their money/investments in a self-custody.

Self-custody is the largest appeal of crypto currencies.
The governments are largely just a product of the nosiest citizens. So there is always a connection to 'Joe Average'.

You see defenders of censorship all over HN these days, especially by people from the UK and Australia. The people saying "it's nothing to worry about because it only happens to bad people who deserved it" sort of defenses that pop up early on.

Then when authoritarianism naturally grows larger and larger people only blame the politicians, not the people defending it every chance they get.
Where is any blame being assigned to anyone?
I attended high school in a not-well-known country (Nigeria) and the amount of bullying I witnessed was unfathomable. I’m talking outright beatings from seniors, and it was legalized (reporting to the school authorities will get you more beatings).

I transferred from a chill private school to a public school because, well, my Dad wanted me to have some “experience”…needless to say, the experience I got was that even teens can be extremely cruel to each other…the funny part is that most people here see it as normal and laugh about it, like they don’t realize they’re living the equivalent of a wild animal farm…but for some reason, I got over the horrific bullying real quick…or maybe I’m scarred and don’t know it.
This feels a little too strong to me. DrRacket has as its fundamental UI flow a combination of whole-reloaded-file and a REPL, and obviously the creators of Racket are intimately familiar with Lisp REPLs.

One problem being addressed is the discrepancy between REPL-based development and non-image-based languages: you have to get your code back out into a source file somehow, without forgetting anything. In image-based languages like Smalltalk and APL, you just save your environment after modifying it interactively; there are no separate source files and the problem does not exist. But in file-based languages, you're stuck using the clipboard to copy code back and forth between the REPL and the source file. It can sometimes be easiest to write the code in the source file, then reevaluate it in the REPL environment. If that process is automatic instead of highlighting specific forms and pressing a button, it can sometimes be a slight productivity boost and less error-prone because you won't forget to reevaluate some change you made in the source.
For medical isssues one thing you can try is searching for .edu or .gov web sites. site:*.edu should work.
i mean, i think most people will have one gas powered long distance car and one electric local car. Really, how often do you go on road trips? For me this year, it was 4-5.
Moving to a different town is a big disruption which at least i won't do just to be able to afford a big house. Not only do you lose the option to come in to the office (which is a good option to have even if you prefer home office most of the time); some people just prefer to live in big cities.
I'm surprised nobody has yet posted any of Joel Spolsky's articles on why developers need offices. He's been writing about this for many many years.

For example:

In these platforms key players are often governments and customs/excise offices, so they don't always trust each other no. Trade finance is really complicated largely due to the lack of trust, actually. Banks that deal with it have entire offices devoted to detecting document fraud. The use case and need for better solutions is real, but TradeLens maybe wasn't the platform to achieve it.
I eat mainly beef and I don't understand why everyone in the world doesn't eat mainly beef -- it just fixes everything. I'm thinking about doing an only-beef 2023.
No, unix philosophy is what make things work together as i see. A big mess of inheritance tree doesn't solve large scale problem. That's the misunderstanding of "large scale engineering" that i've seen from most companies.

You don't solve problem by solving it. You solve it by decomposing it, and compose again.
The big question is do you need X personally? A lot of the time when I contribute to a project it's because I'm using the project and need the feature/bug fix for the thing I'm actually interested in. In those cases I'll just do it and then send a pull request. Some times they accept it, some times they don't, but in the mean time the thing I'm actually working on has the bug fixes and features I needed.

You do however have to be prepared that you will eventually get a No, and then you have to decide if you want to maintain your own fork indefinitely or find another solution (like rewriting your feature as a standalone plugin or library that connects to the project)
Google's problem is akin to Windows virus problem. All the hackers wrote viruses for Windows, because that's what everyone used. Now the hackers retrained as SEOs and they attack the search engine that everyone uses.

Switched to Bing generally (why use extra redirection in the form of DDG?). Image searches are better done by Yandex.
Here in Germany we get yet another "we need much more immigration because of labor shortage" article in the major news media at least every week, I saw even more than that the last two weeks with at least three in Zeit and Spiegel the last week, on the top of the homepage each time.

Just today (paywall, German): https://www.zeit.de/politik/2022-12/fachkraefteeinwanderung-... -- or https://www.manager-magazin.de/unternehmen/iw-studie-fachkra...

Of course, also every time they completely ignore 80% of what the comments say, from individual experiences of qualified people looking for a job to arguments about not seeing any increase in compensation, asking how that can be if there's a market. I myself remember not long ago meeting a young university-qualified engineer with a few years of experiences still having to work for a body-lease shop, moving him between different employers every year, so that they can avoid actually hiring such engineers. Or the bad working conditions in craft jobs, where there really is a large unmet demand, but it's still extremely unattractive to enter this market.

I find the lack of any reaction to the overwhelming feedback they get every single time to these articles more than a bit suspicious. They repeat the exact same message without the slightest change. Maybe quoting a different person (always from an employer organization) and using slightly different sentences, not an exact reprint, but definitely the exact content every time.

I have no doubt that some companies have trouble finding the right people, but I also have no doubt that there is something seriously wrong on a deeper level. Unfortunately the media are no help trying to shed some light on the deeper and more complex issues.
Engineering a Safer World: Systems Thinking Applied to Safety

by Nancy Leveson

Definitely one of better books that makes you think outside the box.
The mass of people who provided popular, democratic support for visa restrictions were motivated by the nativist concern of protecting American workers from foreign competition. You can always attribute popular sentiment to mustache-twirling elites pulling the people's puppet strings, but there's no getting around the widespread, populist fear that American workers would lose their jobs to foreign, racial others who were inhumanly smart and/or inhumanly hard-working and/or willing to live in inhuman conditions.

Liberal economic elites would have preferred unrestricted, laissez-faire access to technically skilled immigrant labor rather than being forced to deal with the caps, lotteries, and bureaucracy associated with the H1B program.
Adding to my list of fictional card games, thanks!
why is that exactly, there is some weird purification/concentration of social things that only happen at school. Is it the spike of age cohorts (+/-6mo) all thrown together without any regulating factors that would occur with older wiser children (say +6 years) being able to correct the misbehaving individuals? Is it a factor of the sheer outnumbering encountered from high student to adult ratios? Is bullying less likely to occur when the adult count increases?
For me any time savings were negated by late orders messing up my time planning and the need for sometimes communicating with and following up on drivers to see what's going on with my order.
> I disagree, they are just not necessarily associated.

It's not a matter of agreement. There have been numerous studies that show a higher incidence of depression in conventionally "smart" people.

This doesn't downplay in any way the problems of "less intelligent" people, and we all percieve problems differently, but there are certain traits of "smarter" people that make them more prone to being unhappy.

So the article's question is based on a misleading premise.
Some people want to go back, but forcing return to offices is a hostile act to me. There is literally nothing companies can do to get me to return to an in office requirement. Wfh for me is saving over 10 hours a week in commuting that I am able to reinvest into mental healthcare and hobbies that dramatically improved my life. Everytime these stupid articles come about: hey, don't you want to go back to mandated office time? The answer is hell no. Let's tax my wellbeing so assholes can justify their non earning assets or inability to cope. Not my problem, and should my employer attempt to infringe on my life then I will find a new path.

I've been called entitled. Whatever, but at least I'm happy and more importantly productive. Anecdotally, I am more productive than our sleazy wanting to mandate returns to office for all middle manager.
Only in the military? Wouldn't it be easier to steelman the argument by inserting the missing "most"?
1. Because some issues are still valuable, a well presented bug report that you can immediately act on and is related to parts of the project you want to enhance improves the project.

2. As above, you want to work on some of the valuable issues of interest to you as a maintainer, but if you glance at one and think "that looks like a lot of work" or "that's an x-y problem" or "I'd need to go back and forth 5 times to get enough information to action that" then you can just ignore it and have the bot close it if you never get the motivation, time or energy to go back to it.

3. As I mentioned in my comment, having an ever growing backlog has a genuine detrimental emotional impact that directly causes maintainer burnout.

4. That would just move the problem.
I worked on a project for the biggest airline in SE Asia that was essentially their loyalty platform on the blockchain. The idea was that other airlines would also put their points on the same blockchain and they'd somehow become interchangeable. Except nobody came, and now said airline has a very expensive piece of tech to maintain, built on a service (Azure Blockchain) that has been discontinued.

There's a famous poem written by a Nepali poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota: O Lord, Please maketh me Sheep.

It's too heavy to translate entirely but a succinct summary is that to not have intelligence is the only path towards happiness.
Same with Bill Gates, BMW and WV. They all choose to ignore Musk childish attacks.

It's a missed opportunity for them because a rivarly elevates the profile of both rivals, but especially the one who was minding their own business and gets attacked out of nowhere by a maniac.

Eg. Zelensky vs. Putin

Musk is lucky that these people are too rich and mentally healthy and so they just want to enjoy life
> I went on a lately popular but politically incorrect diet

How can a diet be "politically incorrect"? Did you go on a Nazi diet or something?
I do hope that you're learning good habits in tandem with your medicine. Stress-management and self-control habits start small but end up being just as effective, if not more than your medication.The idea isn't to make you dependent on a prescription to be productive, you're to learn how to manage your ADHD to the degree where you can lower your dosage.
This is a comment out of a fantasy world.
What's expensive for them is a bunch of things that really shouldn't be part of their business anyway.

Marketing.

Setting price markups.

Researching new technologies to do God knows what.

The only expense that makes much sense is app development, and honestly, that sounds like it should be done by another company. Just expose an API and let restaurants and their partners handle the UI layer. There are tons of lightweight ordering platforms that could easily plug into a delivery service service.
So a lot of these blockchain projects started around the same time. They have not delivered and as money runs dry they cant get more funding as the economy tightens and heads towards what is probably a short recession.

The other high profile blockchain failure was the ASX one reported earlier this month:

House builders aren't building spaces for the WFH world that are affordable, so most people feel trapped working from their kitchen, living room, or bedroom. I'm currently fortunate that I'm able to have a semi-dedicated space for my office that is relatively quiet and private.

However, the problem is a growing family would probably want 3-4 bedrooms (master, girls, boys, maybe spare). After that, you might want:

* An Office

* A Playroom

* A living or family room that isn't in the excessively noisy "great room"

* A dining room?

That's a lot of space, and many families may not want all of that or any of that, but some might. Yet, nearly every house looks exactly the same and has roughly the same number of rooms in the same layout, give maybe ~5 variations.

People may be willing to sacrifice a larger dining room if they could grab a space in the neighborhood that supplied a dining room-like place.
People may be willing to sacrifice a playroom if there was a place where their kids (of various ages) could meet other kids in a safe way (e.g. a neighborhood room for toddlers).
People may be willing to sacrifice a home personal office if their neighborhood had a "rent-a-private-office-for-not-much-money" a short walk away.

None of these exist in the communities I see being built. There may be open grass parks or a community clubhouse, but that's not the same as the above.

(Yes, I know the list of reasons - zoning, cars, etc. etc.)
If I remember correctly, GitLab used to offer the same kind of service, but discontinued it because managing it was not a core competency that they wanted to focus on. I'm curious what's different now.
Uniswap launches its NFT aggregator after acquiring Genie
Recently I’ve been chasing down old medical records. Once you cross the 7-15 year threshold from your last encounter with a healthcare organization, they often destroy the records even if they were digitally kept. Sometimes that is not altogether a good thing depending on your personal or genetic/familial medical history. And in the US at least, medical records are generally the property of the provider (organization). Restoration isn’t guaranteed.

Less than ten years after I graduated high school, the district had already migrated SIS platforms and had lost my freshman year transcripts. I have the only copy.

I’m in the same position as you with respect to having business records that I’m the custodian of, which aren’t readily or realistically restorable if I don’t make my own backup arrangements.

For anything truly important, you can’t assume someone else has your disaster recovery interests in mind.

The program which created the file was running all the time, before I created the zip, during the zip creation, after the zip creation ended, and after I deleted the file.

The zip creation and me deleting the file were in parallel with another process writing to the file.

And I didn't delete the zip file, I deleted the original file that I zipped.
This is exactly it. WFH is simply inherently superior to commuting, for many of us. If remote jobs exist, we will take them until they don't, but competition for workers makes me optimistic that they will. It'd be like asking "What would it take to get workers to accept a job that doesn't provide health insurance?" and then being surprised that workers will choose jobs that offer that benefit over jobs that don't, unless somehow there were no jobs with that benefit.
I read somewhere that “the more you say ‘no’, the more you can say ‘yes’ to the things that are important to you.” I really like that and try to stick to it.

After successfully changing my poor grades by maverick and i was able to graduate as one of the best students and finally working in well paid organization, you’re only hurting yourself if you pretend your grades don’t matter.. visit Maverick Angelos today for grades change at BLUEHACKANGELS407@ Gmail com . Colleges look at grades, scholarship organizations look at grades, and employers look at grades too. However, you don’t need to have a 4.0 to be successful. But Good Grades can show every amazing quality you have, and colleges, scholarship organizations, and employers understand that too. Your school degree does not determine your life. However, good performance can earn you a good reputation and success.
You're right, it's usually called the frame time and some engines even measure this per frame using GPU events/markers. However, the main reason for not using FPS is that it's not a linear scale. Losing 5 FPS when it's running at 120 FPS isn't a big deal but losing 5 when running at 10 FPS is a disaster. Comparing frame rates is useless, comparing frame times is the right way.
I prefer https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues solution where issue creation is simply blocked

In this case users directed to garbage dump issue tracker but it also can be skipped.

Main problem with stalebot is wasting time on proper issue which is then closed without ever being read by human.

Maybe compare it to place offering users to fill poll or write feedback form? And then dumping them straight into paper shredder?

Maybe simply do not encourage users to fill feedback forms if you will shred all of them anyway?
the need hasn't been achieved? As in, there is no need..

The insane commutes make it a nonstarter. If I could get to the office in 20 minutes or less I would go. But in Miami it takes me at least 45 minutes to get from my suburban home to Brickell. In god damn Mad Max lunatic drivers traffic mind you.

I concede that I mainly approach this from a non-enterprise mindset, but even trying to research these things for enterprise can be frustrating. It does seem to make sense for products that are at a large scale, both in deployment "size" or effect and pricing.

Madication is not the only way, yes. But these "just get your sh*t together" in disguise are NEVER the way.
The immutable nature of the blockchain is not the interesting part, and in most cases you're far better off just using Kafka/EventStore for that. The only revolutionary thing brought by cryptocurrencies was truly anonymous trustless transactions, and that's a very niche requirement in a world of government and law.
yes, the misrepresentation of how much trust is already at work at so many levels in society has been such a bizarre thing to watch over the last few years. its a particurarly acute condition with the cryptobros, who don't trust "government money" but would happily buy government regulated food, be treated by government regulated doctors and medicine etc etc :-)

breach of trust is indeed a major problem and it erodes the social contract and technology could obviously play a positive role. not by creating inflated hypes that are only good for management consulting fees though...
People who are obese could switch to a diet of only red meat -- they would never feel hungry again, since such a diet is massively satiating and they would be free to utterly gorge themselves, and they would also not be obese, since a diet of only red meat is perfectly suited to human health and fitness.

If your 3-hour commute comes out of your 8-hour workday (as is suggested by your formula), then your experience is not representative.
I used to help classmates that were bullied by defending them either by stopping other kids hitting them or hurting them verbally. Kids can be evil. Some people are unaware what can cause to other peoples lives. Now I have 2 boys, I teach them how to box and good manners. Reality is that they can face bullies and they should be ready to engage in physical fight, words sometimes don't matter
