Even though I’ve personally taken the trade off of remote work, it’s always seemed intuitively obvious to me that there are also massive benefits to being in-person because collaboration, chance conversations, and feedback are more likely to happen naturally and because communication bandwidth is far higher face to face.

The trade-offs are largely around whether those things are desirable. Sometimes they aren’t. But also sometimes they are. And I’ve never understood why there seems to be such a dogmatic insistences that remote is better on all fronts and there can be no acknowledged benefits to in-office work.
They trump nothing. The article you quote merely point that part of the production is done in Romania. I am eagerly awaiting for you to support your claims about sweat shops and South East Asia. That's probably going to be hard of course considering it's complete non sense.

Entierely deserved. Being an idiot is one thing, insulting an entire industry you clearly have no idea about another. I have no respect for you and you are not showing me anything which would convince me I should.
The funny thing is, what you described closely resembles a stereotypical Polish company called "januszex" [1], yet many Polish people would rather work for a German company if given choice.

The intelligence agencies of the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have collaborated extensively since WWII (this is the so called "Five Eyes"[1]) and of course the NATO powers coordinate defense as well as part of that organization.

Edit to add: I mention the five eyes because cryptography (and cybersecurity) tend to fall into the purview of the signals intelligence agencies in government, so that would be NSA in the US, GCHQ in the UK etc. They collaborate under this arrangement.

I think this is a reasonable thing for Vodaphone to do, they just need a way to report false positives
It is worse.

For example, the old one had the hose attach at a top pivoting point, the new one is a fixed side point. Therefore, it is far easier to move the machine at night via tossing/turning (and maybe pull it off the table/damage it).

The old one pushed the water holder out for quick DAILY replacements/cleaning. The whole mechanism was very overbuilt, and it didn't feel like it was going to fail in the machine's lifetime. The new water tank is bulkier to remove, and everything feels cheap (particularly the top-latch) and like it will fail soon.

The screen is on top, which you cannot see while laying in bed. The touch screen is unresponsive and small (it is going to be rough for older people with arthritis and rough finger skim).

As to travel/camping mobility: The 2 is superior if you want to take the humidifier tank (smaller overall), but with the old one if you left the humidifier at home it was tiny.

PS - Both the old and new are annoying with light pollution at night.

Thanks; I didn't know "idiom" is "idiotisme". Nice.

The examples from Figaro all seem to have their verb as a subjunctive in French, so "When pigs would fly" - we usually say "If pigs had wings", or "Yeah, and pigs might fly". Your translations don't carry the doubt that words like "might" and "if" impart. There are hardly any/no verbs in English that still have a subjunctive distinct from the indicative, a fact that I regret.

There are some places in England (north east) where they pronounce the subjunctive of "to be", even though it isn't written distinctly; they say "If I wear a rich man". I think it's from the German, as in "Wenn ich wäre".

> Organizations have to be more intentional about making it happen, as it won’t happen by itself anymore.

Then it very frequently won't happen anymore. Anything an organization has to be intentional about will get neglected or half-assed, if it isn't some core function key to short-term results.

When I lead a team I try to minimize the number of things that require unmonitored "discipline" to do right, and try to set things up so as many things as possible so they "happen automatically" or "blow up in your face (early) if you don't do it, becoming a blocker." That's because a most people are lazy and communicating every detail of how to do things right is hard, so things tend to decay to some long/medium-term half-ass but short-term "easier" level.
This sounds like a fusion of "preparation" and "thrive", leavened with fun.
I’ve noticed in some people that if they get rich and stop working day-to-day, they can go off the rails due to not needing to align their behaviour with the needs/expectations of other “ordinary” people - colleagues, employees, customers, suppliers, etc.

I’ve seen it happen with people who made a lot of money in cryptocurrency and then didn’t need to work anymore, sometimes with disastrous consequences (broken families, spiralling psychotic episodes).

I used to find Tony Hseih inspiring, since I saw him speak at a conference in 2009 when Zappos was at its peak.

But over time he seemed to develop a messiah complex, and with all that money combined with the loss of the anchor to normality that comes with having conventional responsibilities, it just spiraled out of control. It’s very sad.

There were times in my life where I was becoming a bit unhinged - egotistical, even a bit messianic at times. In the end I just couldn’t afford to keep going like that; I wasn’t rich and needed to work so had to figure out how to get onto a healthy path. I now count myself super lucky I never had a big financial windfall before I was forced to go through that process; I could easily have gone down a very bad path if I’d had that.

This happens in brick-and-mortar too. It has become difficult to buy something in person without being asked to sign up for a frequent shopper program -- sometimes very forcefully.

Apparently retailers despise the fact that some customers prefer to buy things anonymously without being spammed or having their privacy invaded. I predict B&M stores will soon begin to block you at the front door until you give them your email address.
Just so I can picture it: in the middle point of this hike there is a flow blown restaurant / food shack?
This is the dirty secret of EVs (or one of them): public charging costs as much as gasoline for an equivalent ICEV, or more.

Whenever I run the numbers to decide between an EV or an ICEV, I get payback periods in the hundreds of years. (I can't charge at home. YMMV.)

Edit: This would change if a battery-swapping industry model were widely adopted. If the battery was not included in the cost of the car but amortized over 10 or 20 years by a swapping station, the NPV of an EV looks much better.

Would you like to provide a link to support this claim in your OP rather than links about Europe or supply chain transparency.
Maybe look at material about EMP weapon effects, I imagine it's probably the same kind of risks. I think solar flare risk is overblown though.

Not for me they don't. Most of our team is remote and it's great for retention. Nothing makes people want to jump ship more than a shitty office culture you have to experience in person every day. Guess what, most office cultures are shitty, no matter how many ping pong tables you put in there.

They don't charge per piece. The price per piece is calculated backwards from the sets and number of pieces. Of course it correlates, but the price per piece varies significantly based on the size etc. of the pieces.

But LEGO has always favoured pieces that even when they look very specific usually have a significant level of reusability in other contexts. Hence "pointless" pieces that aren't actually pointless because their appearance is sufficiently generic.
Give porkbun a shot. They are good.
Since when we talk, our tongues tap patterns on the roof of the mouth and the back of the teeth, I wonder if AI processing could infer what words you are shaping from these sensors. Maybe it’s possible to input text by mouthing words silently, but without opening your mouth. Kind of like how it’s possible to eavesdrop from just the sound of keyboard clicks:

"So both “Bernoulli” and “Newton” are correct. Integrating the effects of either the pressure or the velocity determines the aerodynamic force on an object."
Yes and no. Erlang does apply the "fail fast" idea and recommend to let actor crash instead of trying to handle the error (with some pragmatism ofc). But we are not talking about crashing the process of the whole app. In most case in Erlang (but you find the same idea with over massively parallel system or with micro-services), your actor will be handled by a supervisor, which job it is to keep it alive, and so restart it when it crash.
Also, most of the time in Erlang, having a actor crash and spawning a new one is really fast, so you can afford to crash even for something as basic as a malformed json request or similar. Not something you can really afford when spawning a new system is more in the order of several hundred ms.

What question? Who asked it? Who claimed it only had manual memory management?

Why would someone find this interesting? It's very well known, especially given that almost the entirety of our internet infrastructure runs on it.
Not necessarily, for stuff that genuinely doesn't exist yet, such as cutting-edge military technology , or for situations where there's literally only a single potential bidder, cost-plus contracts are the least bad method I can think of.
Was going to say this too. Compared to 40 years ago, car designs are not very diverse. I suppose because there is an optimal aerodynamic shape for each class of car, and we are converging on that.

The attacker unfortunately doesn't have to use any aspect of the products that the site implements. In my situation I have different subscription levels, but the card attacker disregards all of it. Stripe really shouldn't allow for a card to be referenced without a predefined product also being referenced.

Also having just returned from PyCon, I have a slightly different take than Chelsea. Contrary to the "ugh... networking." take, ~30% of what I took away from PyCon was exactly the networking. Or at least that's much of what I consider the "hallway track". Hallway track also consists of reconnecting with old friends and tech/social things after the conference.

On the way back, my 13 yo son asked "How do you talk to people" and I said that there's not much you can do about it other than just do it. It IS a skill you can practice by doing. But you just need to acknowledge the anxiety, take a breath, and let it go and just say something. "Oh, I see you have for First Pycon ribbon, welcome to pycon. What do you do?" "Oh, you have a speaker ribbon, what is your talk on?"

Probably another 30% is excitement and feeling revitalized at what I've seen and who I've talked to.

Maybe 20% is cross-pollination with others in the industry, I had some really good "Open Space" talks this year. These are "Birds of a Feather" session, a group of people talking peer-to-peer about a subject. Still trying to decide if the advice from a Bloomberg SRE applies at all to my tiny company. :-)

So that leaves maybe 20% for the talks.

Plus, I got some pretty good dad-cred for introducing my son to the guy that was interviewed on a podcast we listened to on the way to the conf.

Now let's pour some out for the Whiskey BOF.
>Does an anglophone Canadian who learns French really expand their worldview that much?

I went to high school in Ontario with anglophones who took French immersion, learned fluent conversational French, graduated high school legally credentialed a bilingual, but then proceeded to move to Toronto and never really leave the province. I don't like being judgmental about people's worldly experiences, but I don't think that those high school French classes really did much to colour their worldview, most of us just knew it as a reliable way to secure a 90+ average.

> One solution is to split it into an AService interface you put in a new module, call it e.g. A-api, and leave the implementation in A which now depends on A-api.

This is what Fowler describes
as “Separated Interface”. [1] Specifically he calls out the specific need for this special case:

> “[Y]ou might need to invoke methods that contradict the general [module] dependency structure. If so, use Separated Interface to define an interface in one package but implement it in another.”

It’s a special case because until you need to “contradict the general dependency structure”, you don’t need to do it. In particular, this is not the first tool one should reach for if you have a circular dependency between two modules.

If you lower expectations to literal legal text only, then they don't even have the "it would be bad for PR and developer relations not to do it" incentive.
For people who are used to Indo-European languages, the biggest shock while learning Chinese will probably be that it's possible for a language to lack articles, plural forms, conjugation, tense, gender and case.

"I'm going to go buy three loaves of bread tomorrow morning at the bakery." -> "I tomorrow morning go bakery buy three loaf bread." The latter has no articles, tense, conjugation or plural forms, yet it's completely understandable.

Even if you learn all sorts of Indo-European languages, you'll still have a lot of assumptions about what sort of grammar a language should have that are not actually universal. Indo-European languages are quite grammatically complex.
There are many of us that grew up in the 80s / early 90s who still play games today.

I think the view of gamers are 20 years behind reality and uses outdated stereotypes. Just look at the comment in another thread that assumes 50-year olds play bridge, like being old means you are stuck in a 90s cliche of what older people do.

Why wouldn't we continue playing games? There may be a period in life where work and/or kids takes more of your gaming time, but once you get older you have more personal time that can be spent on gaming.

The average US gamer is currently 35 years old and increasing. 46% of American gamers are female.

I have seen some of them prevent people from fueling their vehicles at local service stations. The current sizes are not compatible with size expectations.

I want to say there was a Ford which had a fuel port on the rear of the vehicle which had to position the car further forward than usual, blocking the traffic exit while filing up the vehicle.
> What if every single whale or cat speaks a different language? It's not like animals have English class.

No, but they have parents. I am sure they have taught languages. Just ask any cat lady who will swear their cats understand them.

I'd be more concerned that different regions have different languages and we'd need to control for that.
As in this low contrast or just not maximal contrast?
This is big, serious and meaningful. It is tangent to the main problem on making remote work to properly work: formalize communication and iteration.

Management needs to make a conscious, methodological and deliberated effort to stimulate communication.

Dialog channels must be pried open in the remote era. There is a proper workplace culture for remote work. An organization doesn't just wander into remote with the same practices and culture of office work. My suggestions:

* rules for asynchronous communication. This includes a development methodology with full support on CI/CD techniques, issues tracking, code reviews, clear documentation, etc.

* people should be available on Slack/Dischord on pre defined times. You know the "my doors are open", "cubicles are meant to stimulate cooperation" slogans? In remote work these informal channels must be explicit

* There should be overlapping timezones in the team.

* stimulate frequent meetings with a maximum of five people, where people should talk not only about work but also personal subjects of their choice. This stimulates camaraderie and personal trust.
What about SSDs?
Agreed, same here. It appears that media workers are pushing hard against tech people - be it remote work perks or getting replaced by ai and so on.
Well, sure, but that's true of any language.
No surprise there.

It's a film from 1939. The grammar of filmmaking has changed dramatically since then -- direction, acting styles, lighting, staging, everything. Watching something from even the 1960s is super weird and kind of alienating.

Films from very long ago are best understood as historical documents. They tell us a story, sure, same as John Wick 4, but they also tell us about the time period they're from.

This isn't something that's unique to film. Novels, too, get harder to connect with as you move decades past their release. Storytelling changed, and the shared context with the author becomes harder and harder to share.
I imagine sl would be even more annoying if you had to download it.
