> These happen in public transportation too (the sex one not as often, but puking, eating smelly/gross food definitely),

Eh, I've used public transport regularly for 10+ years in two countries as a resident and in many, many cities as a visitor, and I can count on one hand the number of incidents I've had where someone has thrown up/left vomit on the bus or train I was on. The greasy/smelly food thing is slightly true, but let's be real, someone eating a McDonald's on a train for 10 minutes out of a 4 hour journey is partially because there's no other choice for food on that train on a long journey. On short distance transit (within the city/region) I genuinely can't remember the last time I had an issue with someone eating on the bus.

> Another new problem specific to self driving and not seen for public transportation

This is just FUD. If someone stepped out in front of me in a car in my city, I would stop. It's just as likely that two people step in front of me, one smashes my window and grabs my valuables and the other stops me from driving off, as it is that they pinpoint driverless cars.

Reading Through the Bluesky Protocols
I’m interested to hear first impressions from other folks who have read through the Bluesky AT protocol specifications. What do you think about them?

I like to know which host I'm on directly from the shell prompt, as well as the trail end of CWD. You could get close to the same with just '%30d' but then I'd lose the visual cues. And it must have been that way for at least 15 years.

I know nothing about sailing so this is probably wrong, but I was slightly surprised at the fact that the people on board the small boat didn't get rescued onto the Götheborg.

Branches influence the performance of your code (2020)
There was a perceptive comment on HN a few days ago [1] to the effect that microservices are a useful way to package a body of code if the team that is consuming the code doesn't trust the team that built it. This brings to mind Conway's law - "Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure" [2] - and also that meme from a few years back about the internal structure of tech companies [3]. So you can argue that monolith/non-monolith it not purely a tech-driven consideration

> The point of the article is that for team work with unclearity you are more creative by working in a physical space together.

The article also has no data supporting it. Only feelings. It's very typical for these sort of articles.

I am a lot more productive, and even creative working from home, where I have full control of the environment I'm in and not wasting effort on social interactions. Collaboration happens effectively in a remote settings as long as the company embraces it properly.

Since we are discussing feelings about remote work, this is as valid as anything else.
What's it like with many shells/panes in multiplexers open? I often find my history from one or another either lost or not available across different ones.
This is more than entitled behavior, it’s downright harmful.

When (not if, when) binaries get trojanned, this causes blame to be directed at the original author, and takes a lot of work to explain that they are not at fault - this has happened in many supposedly reputable download sites including SourceForge, TUCOwS, Download.com and many others (yes, I haven’t used windows in 20 years or so, no idea what the hip new places are)

Say “thank you”, and spend 10 more minutes yourself to set it up (even if compilation takes 5 hours, it’s usually 10 mins to get it started). And then offer it for others, and handle the ricochets when it gets trojanned with no wrong done by you.

If just 20 people adopted such a process, there would be 98% less complaints of this kind.

The whole debate is rather silly.

My main aliases are: a more human-friendly ls and an alias of rm which attempts to detect mistakes:

alias l='command ls -Av1h --color=always --time-style=long-iso --group-directories-first'

# -A: show all, including dotfiles, except . and ..
# -v: natural sort of number
# -1 (one): list (use -l for long version)
# -h: human-readable sizes

alias rm='command rm -Iv'

# -I: prompt once before removing more than three files or recursively
# -v: verbose

I redefine also $HISTFILE to ensure that every shell get its own temporary history:

HISTFILE="${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-/tmp}/shell-history-$$"
If Starship succeeds (which is what we're assuming in these discussions here anyway) then no, not even close. Crew Dragon + Starship transfer vehicle and lander would probably come in at a tenth the cost.

Nevermind that the SLS programme assumes that Starship will succeed, otherwise they literally have no lander. So if SLS is to accomplish its goals it'll do so only in a world where it's obsolete.

You're totally right, it's just as bad, maybe even worse because build tools sometimes ask for admin permissions. People should ideally really on some kind of reputation system or get software from trusted vendors.

> Note: Security is a major concern here—don't set up a VPN if you don't know what you're doing. If someone gets access through the VPN to your home network, they can (and will) hack into your house!

While possible, many people already give access to their home networks via multi-homed devices they carry in their pockets everywhere they go.

Relying on anything below the application layer for security is not very good these days.
What kind of cost? Obviously, backups on the author's server are not something I'd ever do, but the "offline only mode" is there, apparently.

TBH I was thinking about doing this for a while now. History of my shell, which now is 3.8MB in size, is one of my competitive advantages as a developer (and a very nice thing to have as a power user). It accumulated steadily since ~2005, and with fzf searching the history is much faster than having to google, as long as I did what I want to do now even once in the distant past. I even wrote a utility to merge history files across multiple hosts[1], so I don't have to think "where did I last use that command", as I have everything on every host. The problem with this, however, is shell startup time. It started being noticeable a few years ago and is slowly getting irritating. The idea of converting the histfile into sqlite db crossed my mind more than once due to this.

I was going to say that I like the MediaPipe Selfie Segmentation model for doing this sort of thing in a web page, but I've just noticed (when getting the GitHub link[1]) that Google have marked the code as legacy[2] ... no idea if the new solution is better/easier to use[3].

Colours interfere with scannability. It forces you to deal with text one colour region at a time, making it harder to take in the whole thing at once.

Scanning is a skill you acquire with age. As you get older, and you more and more replace word-by-word reading with full-page scanning, colour becomes less attractive.

Less attractive doesn't mean worthless. Colour just needs to carry its weight, by providing enough relevant information to compensate for breaking up scanning flow. So used sparingly, colours can be good.

It's just that no one seems to use colours sparingly. You see things like giving ".gz" (and other compressed) files a different colour. I have no need for that, .gz is just one among a thousand file extensions that I know, I can read the file extension myself thank you very much. Even if I had a great need for recognising compressed files, I couldn't rely on colours for that: Colouring is too inconsistent between applications, whereas scanning text and spotting the .gz extension carries over to almost anything.
According to the website, you can at least upgrade the image sensor. But let's be real, this thing ain't really for the hacker/DIY scene.
Reading this makes me think two things:

1) This sort of nonsense is why people don't use these environments

and

2) Just because something worked like that 15 years ago, doesn't mean it's a good reason to still do that now.

I cannot fathom how _anyone_ would tolerate that in a world where Windows and MacOS (and I guess to a certain extent various linux flavors) exist and "just work", for anything other than tinkering.
>I just cannot imagine thinking like this if youre not completely detached from real, normal human interactions.

Your statement makes it seems like you've misunderstood his thesis.

He's envisioning a future where humans-to-humans conversation is more intimate, more meaningful because it's not limited to textual language. Example excerpt from his article: >"We’ll all be like children inventing secret languages for talking to imaginary friends, except they will be real friends."

His attachment to real human interactions is letting him see a future where real interactions can be "post-language". The post-language "secret language" could be images, or dynamic translations customized for the particular person's brain.
This. Simple, direct, and much more intelligible.
Strange that you would feel a need to debate this.

Triplets have nothing to do with time signature. Just that point reveals lack of experience in this area. Triplets exist in any time signature or lack of one. They are about beat subdivision.

I could explain each of these points in greater detail but I am not compelled to take the time. Playing scales to meter is a common technique.

And if I asked even a professional to sit down right now and whip out, say a melodic minor in five flats, four octaves at a quick consistent pace, many would indeed need a quick try first. They do get tricky indeed.
The history of u, v, double-u and double-v is really convoluted. They're the same letter but also not quite. There are historical reasons that make sense as to why this is.

The towing was a fairly simple procedure and they could maintain a safe distance. Transporting crew between ships on the high sea would be a dangerous and complex task. They might not even have the equipment for it.
This reminds me of that reddit post from a couple of years ago, "Most of What You Read on the Internet is Written by Insane People"[1]. I mean, to utter these kinds of predictions out loud really reveals your power level. That said, I think the author is right in the premise, that human-to-human communication will be affected by whatever it is that is coming our way. The predictions they end up at, however, are regressions that go a bit too far.

I see nothing particularly bad about the post you shared (it's just a personal account of someone that doesn't really care about their job), and the only thing that it tied to remote work is the mention of "multiple full time jobs".

But then I have to ask - if his employers are happy enough with his work to keep him around, what is the problem there?

Keep in mind, I am also the sort of guy that doesn't rage against employers doing layoffs when they have record profits. It's a natural cycle of business.

Once you take personal feelings off the table and see it all as business relationships, everything is alright. As long as nothing illegal is being done, of course.
My original comment above still stands.
I wouldn't make categorical statements like that. Free forever (without the promise) has worked well for many businesses, for github/gitlab, to Google, to quite a few others. A few models which have worked:

1) Limited to a single user (no team use);

2) Not have appropriate compliance for corporate use;

3) Limited enough to be free to provide and not viable for any real-world use (e.g. 15 minutes / 100 API calls per month);

4) Incompatible licensing (AGPL/proprietary dual licensing is an example);

5) Making everything on the free model world-public (MANY rapid prototyping tools do this)

The goal is usually to be adequate for nights/weekends personal projects, open-source projects, and internal prototyping, but to require customers who can pay to need to pay. How you do that depends on your business.

The higher-level point is that working from categorical points is not good business strategy. As with any tool, something like free, free forever, etc. can be good or bad, depending on how it's used, and requires a careful case-by-case analysis. If you remove tools from your toolchain based on categorical guidelines, you will be at a disadvantage.

The nice piece about the "forever" is that people change jobs every 3 years. I exhausted my trial tiers at several vendors in my first job (several of which switched to paying). Guess who's not being experimented with in my current job? All the vendors whose free tiers I exhausted, but whom I didn't adopt.
tldr:

Microservices trade design complexity with operational complexity, to address the shortcomings & patterns of the modern IT sector, at both worker and management levels.

This was an excellent choice for consulting (companies like ThoughtWorks, who were pushing microservices) as it optimized their workflows and bottom line: the answer to every client's question of "what's the architecture?" was "Microservices". The companies pimping m.s. were internally optimized for this architecture - running a consulting shop where the time between "here is our project" to "here is our proposal" is approaching zero is profitable.

And the best part -- just like all those "GPT-processes" now being pushed by companies built around an api -- is that by the time clients encounter operational complexity of running micro-services, the consultants have long left the building.
Paper summary: risk of blindness from blood clots more than doubled amongst people who took the vaccines, with a particularly sharp effect for AstraZeneca. Most risk concentrated in the first two weeks, rest spread out over the first twelve.

Paper assessment: not bad work overall. The usual problems such papers acquire in the process of getting past the gatekeepers are present, as expected, but can be ignored when you know what to look for.

The good: Very large sample size, cohorts aligned according to many important variables. Goes well beyond just age/gender matching and includes comorbidities, medications.

The bad: They do a lot of exclusions. Is it reasonable to exclude everyone with a history of RVO from the analysis? You'd imagine that people prone to it already might be affected worse and that this would matter for real world outcomes. Also, the paper shows signs of pre-publication tampering by someone other than the authors. The conclusions are dishonest and full with logical fallacies. But it's hard to blame the authors for this. If you don't include the usual bromides and deceptive comparisons then you can't get this sort of paper published. People who Follow The Science will draw the wrong conclusions as intended, the rest of us can incorporate it into our priors for future decision making purposes (when we're allowed).
