I want to say that the sort of place that had GDrive as their "approved cloud solution" is unlikely to also be the sort of place that has the sort of data the required firing-offence rules for exfiltration to non company systems, but I know that's not the world we actually live in...

I'm reminded that Lastpass got popped via an employee running a well out of date version of Plex with known RCE exploits and getting a keylogger installed:

“This was accomplished by targeting the DevOps engineer’s home computer and exploiting a vulnerable third-party media software package, which enabled remote code execution capability and allowed the threat actor to implant keylogger malware,” LastPass officials wrote. “The threat actor was able to capture the employee’s master password as it was entered, after the employee authenticated with MFA, and gain access to the DevOps engineer’s LastPass corporate vault.”

The hacked DevOps engineer was one of only four LastPass employees with access to the corporate vault.

I mean, I know exactly why. But why the fuck was the corporate Lasspass vault available to a staff member's home machine running Plex? Is the expense of a corporate vpn-locked laptop and a pair of Yubi keys too much for a fucking _Password Vault_ senior developer??? "Should we spend a couple of grand buying a work laptop for this guy who literally has the keys to our kingdom? Or do we save a few bucks and get him to work on the machine he already owns, the same one he runs outdated media server software and probably bittorrents all his porn with? What could possibly go wrong?"
As I understand it, it was the source for most of the reporting on “Russian bots” in 2017-18.
The most attended funeral I ever went to was for a man who lived to almost 95.

He lived in the same town his whole adult life. Everyone his generation was dead but he had made so many friends, business relationships neighbors and acquaintances over the years it didn't matter. Also helps that he had 9 kids which equates to a lot of grand children and great grand children.
Windows 11 will run on a Dell laptop from 2015. That is an 8 year old laptop.

That OS is used by millions of people. It is loaded with obnoxious advertising and news. Nothing false in this article. There have been countless complaints about this crap forced into Windows 11.

in this scenario, who would end up implementing the feature & earning the bounty

the same people that work on regular bounties.

once a bounty is funded through crowd-donations, the organization and the developers just treat it like a regular bounty.

effectively, what it comes down to is implementing a crowdfunding system.

i see three scenarios:

the current bounty means: we have money, but we don't have developers for this feature, so we'll put up a bounty.

then you have the case where: we have developers, but we don't have money, so we need crowdfunding.

and finally both together: we have neither developers nor funding for this feature, but if we can get this crowdfunded we can put up a bounty.

actually, crowdfunding would or could be independent from the bounty process because it is just a method to get funding. so it's even a question whether this is in scope of algora or should be something separate. i can see the advantage of having both in the same app because a crowdfunded feature could graduate into a bounty automatically: this bounty goes live as soon as the funding goal is reached,

but on the other hand this would also add complexity and maybe even confusion, because now you are dealing with three types of users: the organisation, the contributing developers and the financial supporters.
> … McDonald’s asked them to work from home from Monday through Wednesday so it can deliver staffing decisions virtually, the report said.

That seems kindof scummy: It seems to me that, in general, companies are trying to move away from work-from-home. To use 100% work-from-home, and deliver layoff notices in such a way, strikes me as mean.

But maybe McDonald's corporate is a strong work-from-home company? I admit I haven't researched it.
I think this is a very well resoned response too.

>for the sake of private planes and a yacht?

I think if you had to afford these type of things it would be a lot more prohibitive to achieve world-class performance in most of the non-luxury elements that make up the bulk of greatness outside that particular part of financial world.
This reminds me very much of the time when someone from NASA came out with an article about them working on a hypothetical warp drive, and then everyone literally believed that we are going to have a FTL warp drive, because people from NASA were working on it.
From his interview with Lex Friedman:

Quoting what he says [0][1]:

> You know, a funny thing about the way we're training these models is I suspect too much of the like processing power for lack of a better word is going into using the models as a database instead of using the model as a reasoning engine. The thing that's really amazing about the system is that it, for some definition of reasoning, and we could of course quibble about it and there's plenty for which definitions this wouldn't be accurate. But for some definition it can do some kind of reasoning. And, you know, maybe like the scholars and the experts and like the armchair quarterbacks on Twitter would say, no, it can't. You're misusing the word, you know, whatever, whatever. But I think most people who have used the system would say, okay, it's doing something in this direction. And I think that's remarkable. And the thing that's most exciting and somehow out of ingesting human knowledge, it's coming up with this reasoning capability. However, we're gonna talk about that. Now, in some senses, I think that will be additive to human wisdom.

"pour one out" is a reference to pouring an alcoholic drink on the ground to respect the memory of someone who died and can't take the drink.

To eliminate rust on steel rather create it [edit: steel]: phosphoric acid. In gel form, it's called "naval jelly."
There's a host of reasons this isn't good enough:

- SQLite itself would be simpler and probably faster if it could run on top of a better OS-level API

- It doesn't make sense to build every other program on top of SQLite. Eg, other databases (redis, postgres), anything performance sensitive, etc. The filesystem is the system interface. Not sqlite.

Aesthetically, its also pretty gross to make a mess in POSIX, then solve it in userland (via sqlite). Its much better to just have the OS expose an API that is actually nice to work with and avoid all the slowdown, complexity and bugs which can arise from the nasty fsync API. As an example, redis runs a whole extra userland thread dedicated to issuing fsync commands to the operating system. There's a whole signalling system needed to manage that thread. With an API like the GP proposed, none of that code would be needed.
My boomer father, who drives Fords pretty much exclusively, loves to tell me how bad it is that the Tesla I drive doesn't have AM radio. Meanwhile, I didn't even notice and couldn't care less.
The reason you can have pensions, savings, or insurance for anything is because the capital pools required to sustain them need to, a) have a return greater than local inflation caused by various domestic policies, and b) be out of reach of being looted by some populist or kleptocrat who wants to pay off their coalition with other peoples money.

I realize stable and consistent laws and governace fly in the face of some beliefs, but most criticisms of offshore centres reduces to people seeing a truck full of goods and thinking they can seize and resell the wheels so that others, too, can have wheels. If we didn't have the Caymans, we would need somewhere else. The benefit of the Caymans is they are sparsely populated and literally have one job, whereas if you had custodianship anywhere else, you would be putting the futures of entire nations at risk based on the politics of a banana republic.

From a technology perspective, they are like a secret store for authentication tokens. Sure, invent something better, but up-ending the current one without a plan is going wreck literally everything.
I had one once. I honestly thought it was awful.I respect that your experiences may have been different but I found it painfully slow and bulky. The detachable battery broke as well and had to be held in place by tape. I opened it once and it looked like a bunch of bits arranged to look like a laptop. Anyone who has seen the elegant neatness of the inside of a Mac will understand what I mean.
Yeah, it has some lift. Not as much as the space shuttle, but more than apollo.

I couldn't find published numbers for reentry.

I know it hits 2.5g for a second during the final flip maneuver, I suspect they have engineered it to hit about the same during reentry.
New combustion vehicle sales are being phased out in many jurisdictions by 2030-2035. Might as well drop this now for supply chain and shared platform efficiencies considering how fast use is trailing off.
hey alice, thank you for your message. leafwing-studios looks really cool!

we'd definitely appreciate your thoughts on this one, will email you :)
It already has that. There is nothing stopping you from getting an API key from OpenAI and using your own app to feed it info from another API. They call these plug-ins. In fact, that's a big part of the company's business model.
The real problem with scooters is cuties unwilling to provide them with proper infrastructure. Bike lanes in most cities (out of the better European cycling cities), tend to be narrow and about 1/4 - 1/3 the size of a car lane.

If a city were to dedicate a single car lane sized lane for “micromobility” and responded quickly to damage to this lane (which wouldn’t be as frequent for the obvious reason that damage is proportional to weight, and scooters and bikes are way lighter than cars), scooters would not be a problem at all.

A city may decide it doesn’t want dockless scooters, but even that problem could be resolved by replacing 1 car parking spot on every street into a scooter/bike dock.
Considering how much of their sales are pickups, which are used in rural and mid sized cities, it will be interesting to see how much impact there is, or if there's another reasonable way to tie in AM. AM goes very long distances and this makes driving a Ford a much smaller world.
Only 10% have other income than W2?

That doesnt reflect IRS data.

Just capital/gains losses is 20%, then self-employment income is another 20%, real estate or S-corp is another 10%, etc

Sure there is overlap, but it’s not 100% across all those. And its not like if youre not taking advantage of those things now you cant in the future.

Windows died with the release of Vista. It no longer felt like Windows to me, it lost something fundamental. I switched to Mac at work and Linux at home shortly after that. I've tried it every couple of years since then and it has got worse each time.
Have you tried the Palemoon browser - http://www.palemoon.org/ ? It is a hard fork of Firefox that still supports XUL and the old XUL based Firefox extensions.
I just don’t see that here at all. I read it as a job title that sounds more senior than it is, potentially underpaid for the civil service, with the numbers looking extra low because of the weird way that much comp comes in non-salary benefits (which some may not want).

Certainly I don’t think this position is some kind of reverse-sinecure that pays in political power. Mainly because I think it doesn’t really wield much power.

I don’t know which law firms you’re talking about but there are others which pay graduates well and I’m not really sure it’s very relevant to the discussion.
>now that Facebook has gotten their creepy hands on it

No Oculus headsets shipped to consumers until after the acquisition by Facebook. The DK1 from the Kickstarter started shipping a few days after the acquisition.

>I wonder if Linux is a fundamentally much better platform for VR than windows?

The most popular OS for VR is the one running on the Quest headsets and uses Linux. For quickly evolving technology like VR I believe Linux is a better fit, but in the long run I don't think it's a fundamentally better base.

>The problems are mostly latency related, right?

Latency isn't a big issue with VR due to reprojection and latency is important for normal games too. The amount of people on Windows who want lower latency for FPS games far outnumber the people who want low latency for VR. For VR you are likely just talking to the graphics driver and can bypass the operating systems compositer with your own.
Echoing the article, declarative is a degree and almost all if not all DSL's do not achieve declarative purity. The best places for a declarative DSL are for domains which are very elegant and well-studied, such as relational databases.

Thus I generally don't pay attention to claims about declarative programming — it is rarely actually attempted despite the frequency of advertisement. The domain which Pulumi / Terraform targets is most definitely too messy to attempt a pure declarative DSL.

For sufficiently restricted values of "basically every" perhaps! True for the CBD, and sure, most inner-suburban offices have a very decent selection of such options (not 100s, but certainly more than enough), but there are tech jobs based in outer-suburban offices where that is definitely not the case. One of my first jobs was in such an office (in Kilsyth) and I still have somewhat fond memories of being there for various reasons.
So people driving new Ford vehicles won't be able to get weather/emergency information in the Rockies/Sierra's (and others I'm sure) along with the vast stretches of I-70/80 (and likely more) that don't have any services for long stretches. Granted the primary user for these broadcasts are over-the-road truckers who likely have other options, but it's also handy to tune into an AM station to hear the weather and road conditions when there's no usable cell service.
I can imagine Disco Elysium with ChatGPT instances per skill/object (for those who didn’t play DE - every thing, including skills according to their points, speaks with you and this gameplay mechanic is amazing)

I'll bite. What are our options?

Linux desktop environments are the worst out there and I for one am eternally grateful I don't have to deal with this stuff every day. Between X11/Wayland debacle, conscious effort to prevent anything resembling backward compatibility AND proper software distribution on the platform and a myriad of minor infuriating issues in each major desktop environment I cannot fathom why people are even bothered to complain about stuff like ads.

And don't even get me started on non-user-facing issues. At this point I know enough about the innards of Linux I can barely tolerate it on my servers, and I swear I switch to BSD next time something like fsyncgate comes up. Although there are environments where I cannot opt out from Linux, sadly, so I guess I'll clench my teeth and try and bear with it.

Apple takes the sweet spot of unbearability between user-hostile Linux and consumer-hostile Windows. I mean, I used to run with Mac for several years, but I didn't buy into the "ecosystem" - and most of my user experience was to learn how to do basic stuff _differently_ for apparently no reason, user-hostile enough. Then consumer-hostility comes up - who in their right mind could even conceive notarization?

macOS is stable though, I'll give it that. But then I still don't trust Apple to do hardware besides iPhones.

If you want a stable, fast desktop on hardware of your choice where everything just works (tm) get Windows. Just uninstall what you don't need, install what you need, configure DNS or get a Pi-hole or something to get rid of ads, complain on feedback channels and call it a day.

While Windows is getting more and more consumer-hostile by the day we still don't have a viable alternative and it doesn't seem we will get one in my lifetime.
I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would open source anything commercially viable these days. The whole situation seems toxic and abusive all around.
We are getting close to the best of both worlds, low-power high-performance Apple ARM laptops plus freedom to run Linux on them, if you want to, with great support.
But setting up the mechanics of content hosting and delivery is what I do it for. The actual writing is just an afterthought. And after a few years of not writing you have a good excuse to set up some different hosting because you don’t have any content to migrate.

What if people use them to try to learn a style? If someone is trying to write in a more active voice, or avoid gendered language, then are they suddenly not worth reading anymore?

I think it is worth pointing out that plenty of prose editors advised on words to remove from your sentences (IA Writer as an example) before LLMs were a thing. If they used one of these tools making suggestions, would they no longer be worth reading? What about the green squiggle of grammar errors before this?
Would be cool if video games could be run inside containers or sandboxes where they ship with the dependencies they need.

Don't know how many times Steam has reinstalled my C++ library or whatever else it does when it prepares a game for launch.

Not to mention games have unrestricted access to my filesystem, which isn't ideal
5G extended range FWA piggybacks off 5G infrastructure. You can do similar things with WiFi or proprietary mmWave FWA, but it requires purpose-built infrastructure.

The infamous "Bug Bankruptcy"
The phrase lingua Franca shows why languages become dominant, because they’re the one spoken by the most powerful group of people. It’s not because English is uniquely good at absorbing from different languages. Japanese uses a ton of foreign loanwords for things. So does Hindu.

Lingua Franca is a phrase in the most dominant language 2000 years ago, about the most dominante language 1000 years ago, used in the dominant language now. All of those languages used tons of loanwords as well. Someday Mandarin or Hindu may become the most dominant and they will use loanwords, and phrases from those languages will slip into English speech.

But those changes won’t be because English in unique in some way, it will be because that’s how languages work.
> You do it after hours or on weekends or hire help for that. A lot of couples with kids figured that out before the pandemic so not really any rocket science stuff about that.

Did they? You mean where 1 side dumped it on the other side? Lots of census data worldwide (and others) have indicated it is the male dumping the work on the female and calling it "figured out".

If that's what you meant then sure. As in make someone else suffer. You can't do it after hours. You can't do it when you choose to. Like literally do you just tell a newborn to stop being hungry because it's not the weekend? As to hiring help - can everyone afford it? And does that mean you are hands off?

> My company has gone all in on making remote-first work and the leadership is sincerely trying all it can. We tried many tools for online socializing (games, food and drink, some social apps...). They all sucked. Finally the company gave up and started shelling up big bucks to fly everyone in for offsites. And that has its big challenge of crazy expensive flights and hotels, or a lack of dates/locations where everyone can make it. If you got any tools which did the trick for your team, please do share.

It doesn't sound like the tools here. It's the mentality, attitude and direction. From your replies you've already indicated that sitting on a desk during certain hours is the priority and not the actual tasks. Even if I did the same amount of work as in the office but did my chores during that time you'd scold me for it... even if in the office I'd go for a walk, gym or coffee or anything else... To you as the manager what's the real difference?

All you're doing is lifting in-person to remote 1:1 just like when some businesses move to the cloud. It's a different beast. It's still about socializing in the tradition sense isn't it? And then you said you just fall back again to in-person trips.

> Your literal words: "do household work whilst working from home". That's not having a different schedule. That is coasting.

As in you don't take breaks in the office? You don't talk to people or do activities that equate to non-work? Perhaps you don't but if you really believe that 0 workers do in an office environment we're in another world.

In your literal words: "do other activity whilst in the office". That is coasting according to you. Same same.
