While working say directly next to the sales team isn't the best, at least for me I thrive better in the office than I do working at home. The office provides structure, better routine, commute time (to shift mindset from "home" to "work") and other people who are also working which acts as a form of "body doubling"[1].

While the surrounding conversations can be distracting to a degree, it's significantly better than the distraction that is slack notifications. A conversation among other members of my team happening around me is something I can either tune out entirely, listen with half an ear or wind down what I'm doing and start paying attention to all based on what I hear while I'm doing something else. But slack (and other remote communication systems) require me to stop everything I'm doing and switch my attention exclusively to sorting through conversations that are or have already happened. And when someone pings me for attention in person, I can ask them to give me a moment to finish up without actually taking my attention away from what I'm doing to see who and what I'm being pinged about in the first place.

Additionally, my experience is that remote work tends to increase the likelihood of meetings being scheduled at odd hours like 10:30AM or 3PM. For whatever reason being in person people seem more likely to try and schedule at the beginning or end of a morning or afternoon block (e.g. 8AM, 11AM, 1PM or 4PM). That sort of scheduling is much better for me because something in the middle will effectively cause me to lose a bunch of time right before or right after since it takes so long to "spin up" into a task, and once there I run a high risk of me losing track of time.

Obviously MMV but the modern office seems to work well for how I experience ADHD. That said, I don't think I would have done well in say 70's era IBM offices, and did terrible at a GE office way back at the beginning of my career which was effectively a set straight out of Office Space.

Because a big4 gave them their org structure used in their industry, and applied with people they had. That's how I am teaching what is an api gateway to the cloud integration team 2 years after their existence.
It was actually a production system we built on my first job. It wasn't just sending frames from A to B, it did have a few moving parts. It eventually got stable and stopped changing, so in a way, I don't have to live with it. But it's up and running and does its job.
I'd love to read an AMA with the author. I can't even complete Advent of Code in a normal programming language!
I think this is an apples to oranges comparison. You get taught pemdas or bomdas early on and then use it hundreds of times throughout school and the rest of your life. The value of learning it is clear.

Whereas ring theory is very much specific to algebra and you're not going to use it programming, doing chemistry, or whatever else outside math. Finding motivation to learn pure math is a bit harder.

GP's example illustrates a good point. I agree with their point.
The stats are a bit skewed I think, because you have to have an account on twitch to participate as a consumer on twitch, so all those 0 view streamers are very possibly people who are actually consumers and had no intention of streaming themselves.
Why I always make a point to mention my preferred methods for determining architecture--bird signs, and throwing the bones.
This is the case in France as well, but it's more subtle than that.

Engineer ("ingénieur") is both a diploma, a status, and a title.

The diploma is regulated by a committee that endorses curriculum for colleges so that they can deliver an engineering degree. It indeed requires some specific training, and not all schools have the endorsement. There _is_ a difference between "I have an MSc in X" and "I am an engineer in X". I think this is what you are referring to.

The status can be earned by having the diploma or getting a recognition of skill by experience. It's usually useless in private companies, but opens the door to better social security in public and institutional services.

The title (as in job title) is unregulated and can be given to anyone.
Maybe that's true for the overpriced American University built on branding, but I've learned actual skills in University and the credentialing and networking has been meh...

Every time this conversation comes up it seems so surreal: paying for branding? Signaling status? Not for learning? Not my experience.
3. Prevent bit-rot w/ software RAID. Running ZFS, btrfs et al. on a single disk can detect bit-rot but not repair it.
Your comment may be correct when talking about the visible homeless. Yes there is a new class of lawless junkies damaging the urban fabric of the west coast. But there are many more homeless that are not visible and not criminals. These people are just less fortunate in social connections and skills and they need help.
That said addicts who have chosen a life of boosting and getting high need institutional correction. Unfortunately the right wants to pretend all the homeless are junkies and the left that all are single moms who are underpaid and cant afford rent

That seems unnecessarily combative, considering how minor the thing we're discussing is.

But since I'm being called out, a) I meant regular LoL events get at least 200k views; I was emphasizing how high it is compared to SC2, so pointing out that the championships got even more is not disputing that, b) I don't know how much Blizzard spends on tourney money, nor Riot or Valve; but I do follow SC2 casually, and the consensus view among the people who would know about Blizzard certainly seems to be that it has dwindled, and c) I looked, the NFL's twitch channel has 62k subscribers and hasn't streamed in months, but I didn't say "Gotcha!" because when I see something that seems way wrong I like to default to assuming that either I misunderstood or they misspoke, and in either case it hardly seems relevant to this discussion.
I've noticed this a few months ago where I live (Romania), namely, that we've used to go to the "Dentist", which is an actual Romanian word, but now the town where I live is full of "Dental Spas" and "Dental Studios". Yes, we're using English terminology, even though that's not the official language here.
That is very country specific, as most countries actually do have easier paths into higher level education than US, that don't require a lifetime of savings since the child is born.

So outside US, and a few other countries with similar approach to high level education, there isn't nothing to disrupt.
>Today it's just a fancy term for "programmer".

That's like saying an electrical engineer is just a fancy name for a PCB designer. A mechanical engineer is just a fancy name for someone that uses solid works. An optics engineer is just a fancy name for someone who plays with light simulators.

You can't just trivialize what people are doing and then call it not engineering.
Aren't AWS, Azure and GCP all comparatively expensive? They are good for certain workloads and it's good that this project exists, but if you wanted cheap cloud resources, you'd probably need to look at one of the smaller cloud vendors: Hetzner, Scaleway, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Contabo and others. Of course, if you need GPUs, things can get limiting.
If the charges include manipulating the prices of TerraUSD and Luna earlier in the year - that ironically probably caused the FTX implosion, it's hard how to see Caroline Ellison as head of Alameda wasn't heavily involved in major criminal activities.

Rotation would be one way to do it. The problem with hierarchies is not that they exist, but that the people who are within them get used to their positions and start to abuse them.

If you limit those priviledges in time and make them part of civil duties you not only get a more ephatic, educated public (as they learn what a police force has to deal with first hand) you avoid them developing into a paramilitary structure within your society.

Or so goes the theory. Would be interesting to try this one out in practise.
Don’t even need only theory, researchers like Graeber and Wengrow have shown successful anarchical structures in the historical record, in large societies including after discovery or agriculture, see Dawn of Everything
Oh I was desperate. I was the most junior guy in the team on my first job after school whom got thrown with a hard problem. Luckily I remembered __FILE__ and __LINE__ in C, and it was a matter of working backward to link those to malloc and free somehow. My Unix command-fu (sort, uniq -c) learned back in school came through in dealing with the huge log file.

It was a huge boost to my confidence on my job and earned my cred with the team.
It's not so much that you need to use violence to stop people from privatizing the means of production, as much as that you don't use the authority and capacity for violence of the state to enforce private property rights. In the absence of a such a threat of violence, abolishing the privatization of a community resource can be put to a vote, and then you can just not respect this person's claim to private property. If no one respects the claim, it doesn't exist. Until such a time as this can be achieved peacefully, we are not ready to live under anarchism.

Capitalism creates an imbalanced distribution of resources by enforcing a certain set of property relations. It isn't a law of nature. Like Gandi said, poverty is a human invention that can be abolished by humans.

Everyone might be equally poor but they'd be equally rich too. We have a massive economic capacity, largely misused to produce things of little value. We can provide for everyone. Capitalism creates no incentive to provide for everyone (as it serves capitalism well to have an underclass who will readily accept poor working conditions to survive), and market failures are frequent. Consider that public transit is much more efficient than everyone having a car, but that there is very little incentive to create good public transit systems under capitalism, not because they don't do their job well, but because they're difficult to run profitably.
If I had 1million USD worth of foocoin in Binance and I wanted to take it out, what would that process look like considering one of the following?

(1) I want to move to another exchange

(2) I want to convert it to USD and deposit into a local US bank account in my name

(3) I want to put it onto into a 'wallet' which I then put into my safe

(4) I want to put it in an account that is not in my name (company, tax shelter, relative, etc)

Maybe on the Windows side, the natural state of a Windows PC is a sort of operating, but decayed; in a state of partial death. Somehow kept from passing beyond by presumably unnatural forces.
That reminds me of a hack I did. In the fairly early days of Android I realised you could install an app to a device from the Play Store using the website on the PC, and have it auto-run when triggered by an event such as the charger being plugged in. Combined with the API to disable the lock screen (eg when receiving an incoming call so the user can answer) it was a way to remotely disable the lock screen.

I created my first ever Android app in one evening and released it for free. It was the first one of its kind and was quite popular, mainly for parents who let their kids play with their phone and accidently lock it, or for people who wanted access to their loved ones device after they died.

However I received loads of bizarre and abusive support requests from people who demanded I help them, and even call them personally. Eventually I got fed up and started to charge a nominal amount and the support requests suddenly became much more polite and intelligent, filtering out the toxic support requests.

I read a post on HN about how increasing price on something can result in higher sales because people value it more. I decided to increase the price as an experiment, and sure enough the sales went up!

For 3 hours of work one evening creating the app, it made a few £10ks over a few years.

Eventually Google prevented the ability to auto-run newly installed apps due to malware using the same vector, now you have to launch the app manually the first time. While it still worked on older devices I eventually removed it because it failed more than it worked.

They need to add possibility to disactivate the hardware components, in order to save battery power (in addition to disabling the features you mention).

This is all the things what I encountered in my admin days.

Including BL670 with incorrectly connected drives, so despite everything saying (and indicating) what the failed drive was in bay 2 it was actually in bay 1.

> then ridiculing btrfs

I ridicule btrfs for it's RAID mode not being a RAID mode by default.

RAID is about availability of data.

If you so hell bent on the data safety then btfrs should kernel panic as soon as one drive degrades. THAT would make sure someone would come and investigate what happened and no data loss.

Right?
I'm a developer from mainland China.
I suggest that you post recruitment information of remote-dev job on technology forums and pay them with US dollar without the need to register a company in China.
Not faux pas, but there are obviously "cool" items. Often it's because of some history, provenance, technology/construction, or some other story that bestows that notoriety and a few times it's just because the group collective considers it special.
The phrase "loosely correlated" is loosely correlated with precision.

In your example, one vendor has to engage in likely illegal, but sanctioned behavior (bribery), while the other has to wait for permits to be approved, which apparently takes some time. How long? Not sure. What I can tell you is that I've been to NYC several times, and I can confirm that there are hotdog vendors all over the place, so, apparently they do get around to those permits eventually, even if it isn't quick enough to avoid being used as an anecdote about how we should forgo democracy.

Another example: We aren't currently "repressing" a vast number of Uyghur Muslims for the crime of existing / beliefs.

Yet another example: When Covid hit China literally nailed people shut inside their houses. The US govt and state govts set up some guidelines and did things like mandate masks (not that you'd get arrested).

Pretty sure I know which brand of freedom I, and well, pretty much everyone else I know would choose.

So, which one is it for you?

Another statement from Thiel, "fate of our world may depend on the effort of a single person who builds or propagates the machinery of freedom that makes the world safe for capitalism." Gee, I wonder who he thinks that person should be? Clearly himself. (Also, "makes the world safe for capitalism."?! What planet does he live on?)

Thiel is just another fairly intelligent person who was in the right place at the right time, leading to generational wealth, leading to a bunch of sycophants bumping up his ego so much that he thinks he should be the person deciding how everyone lives their lives.

Hard pass from me, Petey.

In reality, any degradation in freedom we've witnessed in democracy has to do with forces aligned against giving the voters power. We should focus on fixing those issues, not throwing democracy away so that a single narcissist can decide what is best for all of us.
Learning styles are a pedagogical myth and there is no evidence that they exist or that catering learning to and individual learning style improves said learning.
Maybe all the evidence they need is on chain. That would be interestingly ironic.
In summary, the main difference between WS and WSS is that WSS uses encryption to secure the communication, while WS does not. This makes WSS more secure than WS, but also makes it more difficult for attackers to exploit. As a result, hackers generally dislike WSS and may prefer to target WS connections instead.

This is one of the reasons that New Mexico is so beautiful. Many of the buildings are built in traditional Adobe architecture, even big ones, and they just seem to blend into the landscape beautifully. I agree, they should have gone thr traditional route, not glass skyscrapers.
> I adjusted that ratio to $100:$1.

So if I would pay $100 a night in a personal trip, I should be fine spending up to $10000/night of company money? I don't think that would fly at most companies.

Edit: Unless you're a C-level executive, I guess. But then you'd probably be fine spending 10k for a personal trip, too.
Does anyone have a list of services they hosted? ArchiveTeam (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/) would like to put those on archive.org. The aarch64/fosshost sites got archived already.
A big part of streaming on Twitch or Youtube streams is donations from fans and subscribers/members (regular payments from fans). Royalties from advertising is a part of it, but a lot of the money comes in from donations. Another common approach is merchandise in the from of stickers and clothing, people love that stuff.

You can do well even as one of the smaller streamers if your community and other monetization is strong. I've never really gotten why people donate, especially to the bigger streamers since it's clear they already have money. But it's a big part of it. You can easily watch hundreds of dollars in an hour get donated to even to a smaller or mid level streamer.
It's the same as you can get more fit by exercising and eating right on your own. All the material resources you need are there, but you need to add some personal behaviour to do it.

"left-leaning" and "Democrat" aren't synonymous. What are his right wing views? And don't conflate "right-wing" with things that Replublicans support.
None of the caveats include hypothetically being thrown in prison though. Being a criminal and getting away with it is significantly harder than phoning in your job as part of a capitalist machine

> The solution to that is to make the increasingly intrusive security processes an opt in

Absolutely. A common phrase is "mechanism, not policy". The service providers should be enabling all kinds of mechanisms for account level security so users can pick what works best for them. They should absolutely not be imposing any kind of policy. That's where all the source of trouble comes from.

Only I know the threat models I care about for any particular account I have.

For some of them, preventing unauthorized access is the top priority and I'll enable geofencing, 2FA, hardware tokens.

For other accounts, availability is an absolute must and more important than anything else so for those I'll just have a strong password.

Only I can possibly know the correct answer, so for a service provider to come in an impose their policy on my requirements is fundamentally wrong.
Thanks for the great summary. It's been years since I was in this field so very helpful to hear what's now available.

What would you use to plot (or downsample and plot) data that updates every second or more frequently? E.g. IoT data streaming in?

I used dygraphs (I think) a decade ago and recently found Lightning JS and this comparison [1] to other libraries, but the LightningJS license costs are prohibitive outside of well-to-do project domains. And I don't have data that updates that fast - just don't want it badly sampled or drawn.

Google snippets aren’t helping me in my search for general principles of engineering. Any certified engineers care to share? Or someone want to ask chatGPT to confabulate some?
I don't think the intent is to deceive anyone. The actual intent is that calling employees a team or even family subtly tries to add some strings to the job. It might be okay to leave a job for slightly better pay, but you would not leave your family. A team would not let the store close on the weekend because they are low on personnel, you are "in this together", after all. Sure, it's a quite obvious ploy if you look at it, but using that kind of language does affect people.

I don't need to live with others to know who I am: I can introspect in my room and maybe use the money saved in rent to pursue something that really makes me grow as a person, music for me. The only thing that I learbed living with others is that living alone is one of the greatest luxuries.
Not sure if true, but it’s always felt like the flops were just a new GUI skin on top of the previous good OS. Mostly in weird ways because they end up trying to redesign some things they already got right.
I said Binance Smart Chain was an Ethereum fork. My point is to move things from the eth mainnet to or from it you need a bridge, which, looking at this[1] looks like there is a bridge which they control. The problems I mentioned are intrinsic to bridges.

Yeah I don't really get the hype around light laptops. My ROG gaming laptop that I use for coding has a 17" screen and weighs about 6.5 pounds and is called a "beast" in reviews.

Not sure how 6.5 pounds is beastly. Who even notices the weight in a backpack, or worst-case scenario, a carry-on handbag? Pretty sure a 10.0 lb laptop would be fine.
