> At least the reason why we have Leetcode questions is because Google did the research and came to the conclusion that those are were good at algorithms ended up being more successful at Google,

That's just part of the process, though. They (and many others) have coding questions, system design questions, and behavioral questions. Taken together, they answer the questions of whether you can write code, design/build/contribute to a coherent larger system, and are someone who can be effective at working with others in a company.

Over time, there's been a massive (IMHO) over-index on the coding portion, since it can usually result in an objectively correct or incorrect answer. With massive numbers of applicants, companies really don't lose out on being over-aggressive with cutting people based on these things. As they tighten their hiring belts, I think this will get worse.
The biggest justifiable reason for not wanting to go back to the office is ridiculous commutes, incredible rent prices and depending on the role the lack of necessity.

It should be up to the teams themselves to decide, once the work is done and there is nothing missed, I don't know what the hangup is from companies.

My cynical self says companies just want to make sure they can squeeze more out of their workforce or prioritize less 'essential' qualities like 'social cohesion' within the workplace. Role depending obviously, these qualities are usually just frustrating for people looking to actually just get on with work and their job.

> Our attention is the only valuable thing left.

That's...just not true, though.

You know what's still more valuable than our attention? Our money.

The only reason they want our attention is to get our money.

A big part of the problem is how many people simply don't have enough money, due to the stagnation of real wages and the increase in the cost of housing, health care, and higher education, among other things. If everyone had a reasonable amount of disposable income, as is true in a healthy society/economy, it would be much, much more viable for many websites and apps to charge for their usage, rather than being ad-supported.

> What these people usually forget is that these intuitive Interfaces are only intuitive for people that think like them.

Which is why a successful interface designer understands who will be using the interface. There's nothing natural about any touch interface. It's all learned. When designers say "a button should look tappable", that's a design requirement, not a design solution. What solution achieves that requirement will depend on the audience the interface is intended for.
I'll allow it, since likely a fan of that Mr. Rogers probably enjoyed the article. I did.
This whole debate seems so absurd. Some people want to go back and some people don’t. Why not accommodate both groups? Why is it the return to office group feels the need to impose their preference on the other. The WFH group seems fine to let the in office group go in if they want… We’ve already proved that both approaches can work.

Honestly though, that was also my impression until I saw the implementation. It's really conservatively applied, and doesn't clog up the whole screen with text and distractions. Eg. if Discord/Slack had heading sizes for standard messages, it would be pretty horrible for the user. If our only objection is culture alignment, I say they go forward on it. I'd like to have code blocks and (eventually?) syntax highlighting for posting quick code snippets.

I'm a relative newcomer too— started about two years ago with a Flake-only workflow on Nix 2.3. My sense in observing the debate over this time is that about 20% of the objections are technical in nature, while 80% are around governance— feeling that the feature was smuggled into the main repo as a prototype, despite there being existing external projects (niv) that were trying to accomplish a lot of the same things.
How would you even index something like Discord? It's mostly a chat app, where discussions are casual and often mixed togheter with others... It's not like a forum where each post is at least a somewhat coherent thought written out properly.

Quad9 is a public-benefit not-for-profit. Our purpose is to improve privacy and security. What else did you have in mind?

Quad9 is special in that it's the only recursive resolver of any size that's not headquartered in the jurisdiction of the Northern District of California federal courts. All three others of the "big four" are, and Quad9 was until it moved to Switzerland so as to be bound by criminal privacy law, and to get out from under USG data-collection requirements.

But Quad9 is _not_ the only one being attacked by Sony. Sony has already won against Cloudflare in other venues, but that's a much easier target.

Quad9 doesn't sell hosting services to pirate sites, so has no connection with the alleged infringers. Which is the point of all this. Quad9 is being attacked _because_ it has no relationship with infringing parties. If Sony can establish a precedent that Quad9 can be forced to censor, then that precedent is, in principle, applicable to all parties. Firewall manufacturers. Operating system publishers. Wifi hotspot manufacturers. Open-source software authors. Etc.

My name for this phenomenon in meetings when you have people "battering" you into agreeing with things is Bullshit Chicken. Chicken being the maybe apocryphal "game" of driving head on in a car against your opponent, with the loser being the one who swerves first. Bullshit Chicken being the meeting where whoever spins enough bullshit without swerving wins the "debate". I suck at Bullshit Chicken because I'm still trying to wrap my head around the first bit of bullshit (just an example from elsewhere in the thread "There's an API for it, so it'll be easy") and the bullshitter is on to the fifth point already.

Most US dishwashers require you to hook up to hot water supply line. Problem is since they only use a gallon or two of water, if you don't run the tap first you are very likely feeding it lukewarm water. There are indeed heating elements but they don't get the water up to temp immediately - so starting things off already hot tends to help.

elixir is a newcomer in the web framework space. if one must be risk-averse (for whatever reason: limited resources, limited time, other more critical challenges to focus on) then it makes sense not stake the house and attempt "mission critical" stuff on a new platform or stack that is still not quite mature

the thing to keep in mind, though, is that being permanently risk averse means at some point one might become obsolete. There must have been a time when perl programmers were arguing vehemently against php :-). Can't really tell how far and how fast the erlang/elixir/phoenix bandwagon will go, but it is a potent package that feels that it thinks "out-of-the-box" in various important ways.

As others have mention, commercial dishwashers are faster. With cycle times well under 2 minutes.

The primary purpose of a commercial unit is to sterilize. Cleaning off stuck food is secondary for the machines, as a by hand pre-wash is assumed.

There are two main styles to achieve sterilization:

1) chemical systems. These need a water source of around 130F, use a series of harsh chemicals for cleaning, sterilization and speeding drying. While a home water heater is usually set to a high enough temperature, the commercial dishwasher requires its compartment water to be at this temperature. This usually requires a near by instant water heater.

2) hot water systems. These rely on a water source that is around 180F and do not typically rely on additional chemicals. To get water hot enough requires an attached heater. In North America, this often requires a Three Phase electrical connection.

All of the commercial systems use vastly more energy and water. They produce huge amounts of noise. And far more steam than a home owner would want, they often require ventilation systems to deal with the steam.

This covers the basic styles of dishwashers that would be somewhat recognizable to a homeowner. In fact there are a vast number of specialized systems, depending on specific task and operational scale.

“Maybe later” or “Not now” can be useful to indicate that this isn’t a permanent decision. The situation where it’s bad is when it’s the only option next to an “Always allow” option (or similar), which is just a dark pattern to prevent the user from permanently disabling something.

When there is a choice between applying a decision once vs. permanently, then that should rather be made using a separate “remember my decision” checkbox or a “No, and don’t ask me again” option (or similar).

I think some (but certainly not all) in-the-office people only realize their desired context if everyone else is there to populate the office and give them easy access to co-workers. For some (not all): what's the point of being in the office if it has few of the people they need to interact with?

No idea how large that group is. Maybe it's zero. Maybe this is exclusively moneypeople doing moneypeople stuff with their spreadsheets.
Work from office is better when everyone does it. Those on my team who choose to work from the office end up not seeing another teammate the whole day, and just dial into all their meetings.

> The internet was just fine and companies insanely profitable before the the censorship tyrants showed up and demanded everything be their way.

What strange way to conflate profits and censorship.

Also, you are forgetting just how different the internet was a couple of decades ago. Social media really did change the game in terms of idea (bad ideas too) dissemination. Good ideas, bad ideas, lies are shoved down everyone's throat constantly, and not everyone is rational and can tell the difference between those three things.

So no, this isn't fundamentalism winning. This is culture changing, and the rules and regulations changing slower.

Something similar happened to me! Pretty much after booking and waiting for the checking instruction, the guy asked me to go 1 mile away to pick up some keys in a unknown location, that was not specified in advanced... I wanted to cancel the reservation to pick up a more safe place... Airbnb only return 50%... this was in matter of minutes! The guy wanted 50% for a reservation done 30 minutes before sending me those ridiculous instructions... I contacted Airbnb, scaled the situation, and at the end they said nothing could be done... yep, they are enabling Scammers... Never used Airbnb again...
You must be past retirement age for Covid to be a risk factor more than flu is (especially well vaccinated), so it might not be the strongest argument anymore.

The issue is that the people who perform poorly when working remote are often the most likely to select WFH if given the choice. WFH has become somewhat of a refuge for people trying to avoid interaction and work, which is the root problem driving other teams to want them back in the office.

In a perfect world we’d have a way to accurately evaluate everyone’s remote work and painlessly dismiss those who can’t handle it. In the real world, it’s not so easy at scale.

I personally work remote and on remote teams, but the successful ones were all hired and built as remote from the start. Whenever I’ve been on a team that started in-office and then tried to switch to remote, a significant fraction of the company ends up failing to adapt, avoiding work, failing to respond in a timely manner (e.g. replying 1-2 days later to simple requests), or otherwise just abused the situation. This quickly ruins remote work for everyone.
That's if you want to capture someone's focus, not their attention.
