I'm not wishing for them to "magically become nicer".

I fully understand that that will not happen by itself.

What I'm advocating is changing the STRUCTURE in which they operate so that "becoming nicer" is prompted by the system. The current system fully expects only the primary goal of maximizing profit/value for the shareholders/owners, and minimal compliance with anything else.

This is despite the fact that EVERY corporation enjoys massive benefits of operating in a country that provides everything from transportation infrastructure, a reliable legal system, an educated workforce, to military protection of global shipping lanes.

It would help to embedding into the law the concept of corporate responsibility, by providing a cause of action for irresponsible corporate actions. Expecting the corporation to take care of the workers, and the environment. E.g., In Germany, it is required that workers have seats on the boards and workers have much greater rights.

The point is that the law is now, as you say, just [corps are expected to take care of only their shareholders] and [corps are subject to some regulation].

This system has been tried for nearly 250 years, and is obviously lacking.

I don't think iron-fisted regulation will provide a solution. That's already been tried, everyone got annoyed at the overhead, and it was backed off (see Reagan administration), and the corp destruction has ramped up ever since. It literally just becomes a higher priority to corps to do regulatory capture then.

We need to make the system harder to capture, spin a wider web. And that can be done by broadening the social and legal compact with corporations ('tho they'll fight like hell against it).
The author touches on why it matters in the article - either you have to restrict hiring to folks who are already rust experts (much smaller hiring pool, also usually meaning higher comp expectations) - or you have to consider the cost of training new/existing staff on Rust. Rust has a notoriously difficult learning curve, especially to folks who don't have a background in C/C++. As the author mentions, you may be looking at 6+ month ramp up time until new hires can comfortably write non-throwaway tech-debt free production code. For many startups looking to iterate quickly, that's just too slow.

Conversely if you are looking to hire Java folks, you'll have an enormous pool to pick from, or if you need to train somebody in eg Go - you can do that significantly quicker than you could with Rust.
Never Run Vacuum Full: How to Run Pg_repack on Amazon RDS and Aurora
It sounds like continuous deployment, not continuous delivery.

Continuous deployment deploys code to production frequently, as soon as it's ready.

Continuous delivery has some ready-to deliver branch that's constantly being updated as above, but they're not deployed to production until someone (Product Owner?) or something (Yay - end of sprint!) triggers it.

Different people may use the word release for at least this many things: 1) a deployment, 2) an unveiling via feature flags, 3) a public announcement despite the code already having been live.
When I used the metro for commuting I got sick all the time. This is of course anecdotal but it really felt that way at the time.
It’s one thing that the “standard library for X” changes every few years. The problem is when upgrades within the same library are backward incompatible, or require changes in unrelated things (such as the build system), or when the library gets dropped completely from support.
I'm glad you found it helpful. I have some one-off articles like this one: https://www.davidsongifted.org/gifted-blog/dabrowskis-theory... However, in my case I mostly connect it with neuroticism on which I have an immense bunch of information piecing it all together. It seems to be sensitivity and neurotic qualities that are most connected with what led towards a rather strong depression.

Ohh, and one absolutely huge website where lots of people share their experiences is the followjng: https://www.storiedmind.com/start-here/

Spend some time around there, and particularly if you're of male sex, you'll probably find it extremely useful.
Yep, it's part of our culture, we do many releases per day to constantly iterate things. Also as in other projects there are maintenance and bug fixing we want to bring to production as soon as possible.

Our context is the one of a startup that is constantly validating things, also in our context a release does not necessarily mean releasing to the users, sometimes stuff is behind feature flags or for beta testing.
Simply care for others.

In a conversation don't ask dumb things for the sake of giving a response.

People are committing time and energy into socializing. Respect that. And if people don't respect your time then dump them. There is nothing wrong with that.

Don't make yourself a search engine or some kind of automaton. People don't want to talk to a encyclopedia. People want to connect to another human being. They want a story that they can grasp. Something that could happen to them. Understand who they are and then establish common ground.
Very cool. I already started moving all my 2FA stuff out of Authy but guess it needs to be hastened now.
They absolutely have in the past. I know the person who used to head developer marketing there and he was always remote. Also know one their trainers (though that's really a field position so probably wouldn't be covered).

Citation needed.

I'd be willing to say that companies that work in ways that require more physical presence and _have it_ will outperform companies that require more physical presence and _don't have it._

But the companies that adapt to remote work and aren't trying to just do everything the same way they did before should be able to continue to compete at a high level. They have before, there's no reason why they shouldn't continue to be able to.
Have you been to any many EU countries?

I have only been to a few, and the differences between them are massive, comparing them to US states isn’t even vaguely close to accurate.

It would be interesting to compare the two most similar EU countries to the two most different US states.

Worst analogy that I’ve seen in a long time. Hot rods require big engines to be fun at low speeds, so they’re inefficient and wasteful. Joy rides are nimble and can change direction quickly.
The article says FXS is the most common cause.

But that seems odd. Wikipedia has two references for;

That doesn’t sound like most autistics I know.

Believe it or not, there are enough people who like to go to the office rather than working from home.
What I'm struggling with is, even my own leadership and executives, have struggled to meaningfully communicate the WHY; they have not succeeded in selling the back to office, to myself at least.

My own mentor, when I pushed in a friendly manner, related an anecdote how last time he was in the office, he met this new person from another team and they had a nice chat.

Which is a LOVELY anecdote, and COMPLETELY irrelevant to forcing 300 people on our project back to office. If meeting people from other teams is a priority, there are a myriad ways of doing do (I avail of many of them myself). Neither the business nor personal benefit of this chance random encounter was quantified nor discussed, nor compared to alternatives. But I keep hearing these benefits of "water cooler conversations" and "elevator chats" etc. Is it a generational thing? I'm a 45 year old grouchy geezer, but between slack and sms and teams and webex and email and everything else, I've developed strong and productive relationships with co-workers I've never met and feel I have many methods of engaging depending on my timing and priority needs.
Worked at one of those four companies you mentioned on one of the teams analyzing employee productivity during the pandemic through EOY 2022. The one liner (that ignores all nuance) is that remote work does not negatively affect productivity, at least for the company I was at. Decisions by leadership are not significantly influenced by what the data shows.

Populists would love to convince you that "the elites" and "the people" are distinct groups that are pitted against each other in an eternal struggle. They do this in many cases to convince "the people" to adopt radical fringe views.

In the past (and present!) this false narrative has been used to push mostly bad things: nativism, xenophobia, and really dumb economic policy. By falling for this false distinction you are priming yourself to be susceptible to demagoguery and similar bad ideas.

If you look at reality you'll find that most distinctions between "the elites" and "the people" collapse and there is substantial overlap between both groups, both in membership and in their political self-interest.
That reminds me of the recent article showing Detroit Public Schools having the distinction of both the highest per pupil spend and the lowest test scores in their state by a wide margin.
> In fact, people and corporations that can maintain personal and corporate Integrity, in today's world, are generally badass MFs, and it's not likely to end well for those that mistake Integrity for weakness.

Cool opinion. None of it is true. You may think they are "generally badass MFers" but there are plenty of people, myself included, who will see "corporate integrity" as a weakness. In fact, if you interviewed the world's most powerful people I'd bet all the money I had none of them would tell you to be a "nice person" with "integrity". Warren Buffett, for example, uses this image (and you should abuse such an image), but historically is a cutthroat.

If you want integrity join a church. The people in power who have convinced you that they have integrity and that's how they got there are exploiting your naive sense of moral purpose in life. Wake up.
I tried hard to make Sweet Home work for me. It solves the quick and dirty use case but I really wanted something where I could measure out every dimension in the house with a laser measurer, describe the shape and the relationships between the objects and let the computer do the rest. In a program like Sweet Home, and every other floor plan program out there if you make one change (like updating the measurement of the wall thickness you have to manually and carefully move everything else around.

I ended up throwing together something quick and dirty with Org Mode tables and Metapost: https://github.com/guidoism/wildwood/blob/main/house.org

It works pretty well and the output is pretty.

For guis in general, I like how the actions available to me are much easier to learn, and therefore use. The information conveyed through the layout often provides context for related actions.

In my experience, CLIs are great for efficiency, if I am doing a task so often that it becomes rote behavior and learning the tool is no longer helpful, or if I want to automate it. I find my real world need for either of these to be relatively slim, but I am not surprised that it is common for others.
But the method needs to be consistent over time for comparisons to be meaningful.

If for example, they did rough extrapolations in the 50s, and then in the 90s they were able to do an exact and exhaustive count, it's a problem.

IDK if that's what happened, but we would want to know.
Calendly is the industry standard and works better than Google's which is weirdly implemented. Calendly as a company shouldn't exit really, Google should have had it wrapped up.

> They must have some data that shows people are more productive

I think it comes down to not liking the idea of paying $$$ on lavish offices that are ghost towns. And I also wouldn’t doubt cities are “encouraging” companies to force BTO because local economies have been hit hard by the lack of office workers.

My favourite apple variety right now is the organic Cripp, aka Pink Lady. Lovely aroma and flavours. I used to eat Granny Smiths in my youth, but they're too tart and green compared to those nice organic Cripps.
> Decisions by leadership are not significantly influenced by what the data shows.

If it isn't productivity (or morale) driving their decision on "putting their foot down and demanding no work from home", what is it? I don't believe it's some simple reductionist "they're evil and want employee control" narrative.
> black women have a much higher risk of death during childbirth

Found the NY Times reader.

Fwiw, that article takes a somewhat flawed study [1] and decides the only possible explanation for wealthy(!!) black women dying in childbirth at a higher rate is systemic white racism.

It then compares white vs black rates of infant mortality, also chalking that up to so-called ”white supremacist culture”, except the research study clearly shows both Asians and Hispanics having lower infant mortality rates than whites. To give the NYT the absolute smallest bit of credit, they do briefly admit to this way down the article.

Differences in group outcomes always have to be racism/bias and can never be a result of any biological/cultural differences. Can’t discuss obesity rates, prevalence of hypertensive diseases, Vitamin D deficiency being heavily correlated with low birth weights [2] and black mothers being SIX TIMES more likely to be Vitamin D deficient at birth compared to white mothers [3] - you apparently aren’t even allowed to control for age!

And thus the NY Times tells its unquestioning readers that Systemic White Supremacy is literally killing rich black women and also mysteriously elevating the Superior Asian Baby high above the rest.

It’s nonsensical post-truth garbage that would be laughable if it weren’t being taken seriously and used as part of the rationalization superstructure used to justify increasingly ineffectual and, frankly, dangerous policies.

You're right. I have removed the "clown" part, because after submitting my comment it left an itch in me, too. I think I have seen too much bad press about GoDaddy that "simple" things like this just bring out the worst in me. Thanks for pointing that out.
From what I understand, it was actually Paul Allen's instructions that his sister (Jody Allen) to just give everything away. Unfortunately, that didn't include running the more niche museums, movie theaters, etc...forever. It seems like smaller projects are being sacrificed in favor of larger ones (like the Music Experience museum which is still open).

This is a "me or your lying eyes" argument. It drives my kids to school. Why is it so important to you that I not enjoy the product I purchased and love? You realize you aren't going to win an argument like that, right? You think I'm going to just wake up and realize that it can't do what I see it do?
That makes sense.

To a libertarian like me people should be allowed to do whatever they want with their bodies, including changing it as they wish or declining other people's attempts to change it (via a "cure"), but I understand this isn't universal.

To me, a discussion on whether homosexuality has a pathogenic trigger is intellectual curiosity, to someone else it's like a Jew overhearing a couple of bald rough looking fellows talking about how there are too many Jewish movie producers and someone should do something to make there be less of them...

how does this impact Authy?
ah ok, that's fair.
This is dumb. Nearly 100% of restaurants allow children. Why is it a problem for a few in each city to ban them? Not every space needs to be for every group of people, and we already have spaces that are specifically for adults (bars or clubs) and spaces that are specifically for children (playgrounds, Chuck E. Cheese, etc.)

It would certainly be galling if an entire block or town banned kids from restaurants, but that's not happening here (or anywhere, as far as I know).
I suspect what the intelligence apparatus would recommend, and what the politicians _do_ for "optics" in any random context, are very different.
I don't think this describes why executive leadership would force people who want to work from home back into the office against their will.
Unfortunately last I tried these code snippets was months ago, was rushing like mad because it was a startup and I couldn't afford to just stop and write everything down and... yeah, priceless info was lost.

> supposedly commit suicide

FWIW, people who have reviewed the evidence claim that it wasn't a suicide. Only the coroner appears to claim that it was suicide.

It's improbable that guard 1, guard 2, were sleeping, and the cameras were not working, and Epstein somehow hanged himself with his feet up higher than his torso in order to produce scars akin to those of a strangle from a shorter person, and he somehow had the strength to make the wrapped fabric thin enough to match the width of the scars.
The linked paper says this uses 122 kJ/mol. I translated that into more familiar units, and it came out to 770 kWh per metric ton CO2.

If you were dumb enough to power it with coal then you'd have net emissions, but put it someplace sunny, power it with solar at 2 cents/kWh and you're paying just $15.40 in energy cost per ton of CO2 absorption. One gallon of gasoline produces 20 pounds of CO2, and there are 2204 pounds in a metric ton, so you could pay for this by adding a surcharge of just 7 cents/gallon.

Of course that's just energy cost, there's also capital cost, and I don't have an estimate for that. But it's not obviously unworkable. Reducing emissions is usually better but I could see this being pretty helpful for cleaning up things that are hard to decarbonize, and once we hit net zero we'll need tech like this already scaling to bring CO2 back down.
It says 17% in the article. This is obviously a massive number, but just wondering where the 28% number is coming from? https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/13/twilio-layoffs-1500-employee...
It could be literally anything from a failed health check and failed auto mitigation, to a routine failure that no one actually knows who to contact about anymore, to sabotage by a laid off employee.

It’s not really worth speculating about fired employees performance, but there’s probably internal chaos after yet another layoff round.
I've been working remotely since 2008 and what you describe has been my experience. Working remotely effectively requires leadership to change their ways. It only work if it's "remote first" and if there's no hybrid of having a some people being remote and others in the office.

But making the effort to build a remote team does have a lot of advantages, automation has to be built in which, in the end, helps having greater flexibility when there are issues and people cannot be present. It helps with recruiting talent because you no longer restrict yourself to a single area...

People also say that it's impossible to form friendships with remote coworkers but it's not been my experience, I've made a lot of friends with coworkers who live in different countries and timezones than my own.
