> Seems like you can never please developers: If you don't invite them to attend all the meetings, then they're offended because they feel left out from important decisions. If you invite them to all the meetings then they're angry because you're interrupting their productivity with useless meetings. You can never win.

Why aren't your developers empowered to say "I don't need to be there" to a meeting?

Why aren't your developers in the loop enough on things they're not participating in such that can still notice if an appropriate SME is being excluded?

Every job where I've grown responsibility, I find that not only did those interactions become possible, they've became expected of me.
> Meh, what you gain in square footage of your house moving in the Midwest, which is what I think you meant by "quality of life", you loose in career opportunities , weather / outdoor activities, quality of food, and cultural enrichment for your children.

Strongly disagree on virtually every point, and this seems to be a common refrain I hear from those seemingly trying to convince themselves as much as anyone why the sky-high cost of living in certain areas of the country is worth paying. Yes, it's true there is more to eat and go do in many HCOL areas in the country, but there are diminishing returns. Perhaps 20 years ago the gap was significant enough to matter. But these days, even in medium sized Midwestern cities there is typically more variety in cuisine, entertainment, and cultural options than the average person can actually utilize. Weather can also be a driving factor, but even some places that are particularly expensive like Seattle or NYC don't have particularly great weather. And with global warming, the Midwest is generally getting less cold in the winter, while HCOL areas like those out west are getting regular wildfires, record breaking floods, and extreme heat waves, so even on this front the gap is diminishing. As for careers opportunity, that seems to be rapidly disappearing with the advent of remote work.

I'm not making the claim that Michigan or Wisconsin are toppling NYC or LA as top destinations for tourism. But there is a difference between a vacation destination and a place to make a living, and it's getting hard to see how some of these HCOL areas in the country make sense given the other options these days, given the cost difference.
Teenagers actually ask their parents what it means for them that whole countries don't give a shit about the future of the planet.

Of course they care about their social circle and how they're seen in the world. But people tend to forget that it's also the age where they try really hard to understand the world in general, what kind of like awaits them, what it means to grow up, etc.

As a society we constantly ask teenagers to think about the future, and most of them actually think pretty hard about what it means for them to become adults and what world they'll live in.

> But these are edge cases that are almost always irrelevant.

More than 99% of atoms are either Hydrogen or Helium, all other proton configurations are edge cases that are almost always irrelevant.

As with anything, you have to determine the question you are actually asking and the context you are asking it in before you can decide whether or not edge cases are relevant. Are you engineering for a satellite? You better consider the possibility of cosmic rays!

Also intersex people are astronomically more common than bit flips on earth and people with sex hormone imbalances are even more common than that.
> But to prevent the car breaking in future, you need to proceed to 4 and 5, to discover that the car needed more regular maintainence.

That's the theory behind highly mature CMMI levels. 5 means ongoing process analysis.

That said, I hate CMMI (and I took the course, and drank the Kool-Aid). It's hunting mice with a ten-gauge, for almost every project, excepting really large, multidisciplinary ones. I have worked on those (that were badly in need of process maturity).

Most projects that I've worked on; even fairly ambitious shipping products, would have benefitted from improved process maturity, but CMMI 4/5 or ISO9001 were way too burdensome.

Agile, I think, has tried to improve process, but it has been turned into something that I don't think was originally envisioned.

I’ve been living in a house for the past few months with a google assistant. I only use it to put on music, but I have noticed I play more music due to the ease of putting it on.

But I hate the privacy invasion aspect. I’m definitely in the market for something like this. And this one looks great.

Additionally, I’ve noticed that the google voice assistant (connected to Spotify) doesn’t keep playing the albums I ask for.

It states it’s playing the album. But after 4/5 songs it starts playing different songs, or different artists.
Opinions on abortion among many christian groups have been pretty fluid in the past century[1].

> The rhetoric about abortion being the catalyst for the rise of the Religious Right, however, collapses under scrutiny. Evangelicals considered abortion a “Catholic issue” until the late 1970s. In 1968, the flagship evangelical magazine Christianity Today convened a conference with another evangelical organization, Christian Medical Society, to discuss the ethics of abortion. After several days of deliberations, twenty-six evangelical theologians issued a statement acknowledging that they could not agree on any one position, that the ambiguities of the issue allowed for many different approaches. “Whether the performance of an induced abortion is sinful we are not agreed,” the statement read, “but about the necessity of it and permissibility for it under certain circumstances we are in accord.” The statement cited “individual health, family welfare, and social responsibility” as possible justifications for abortion and allowed for instances when fetal life “may have to be abandoned to maintain full and secure family life.”

And this is a real eye-opener:

> Baptists, in particular, applauded the Roe decision as an appropriate articulation of the line of division between church and state, between personal morality and state regulation of individual behavior. “Religious liberty, human equality and justice are advanced by the Supreme Court abortion decision,” W. Barry Garrett of Baptist Press wrote.

Not a direct answer, but I think a part of it is the general anxiety caused when the phone is physically present.

Maybe someone is sending me a message? Or maybe not, and of so, why not? It only takes 3 seconds to respond to a message, what are they doing that they can't respond? And Amy sent me a message four minutes ago and I didn't respond because I want to know what Dustin is doing first, but I don't want her to think that.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....

But if you are swimming or something then your phone is out of reach and there's nothing you can do so you just accept it and enjoy swimming and talking to whoever you are swimming with.

Also it mixes everything together, so if you just want to do something benign, you take out the phone and have a zillion other messages to worry about.
I also used the phrase "not serious" on Lobsters. Sorry to the author, but this doesn't meet the bar to talk about outside of a small Mastodon circle. It's just a half-baked idea. It's cool and everything has to start somewhere, but come back to us when you've actually figured something out and made something really fleshed out.
Sorry, but you're just repeating the same misunderstanding as the post I was replying to. The terms "gender" and "gender identity" simply don't mean what you think they mean.

You want them to, I get it. But it's not up to us as individuals. Language is a group thing. You might not be ready to concede the change, but I can't help but think that's based on some irrational attachment you have to the old meanings, for whatever reason.

Regardless, time and language march on. It doesn't really matter if you (or I) like it, or think that the words are therefor "useless" or "don't really exist", etc.

I don't understand. Asking Google "how to cook meth" gives several plausible results. Maybe they are actually fake, but the same applies to ChatGPT answers. In the end, LLMs are trained on the internet contents. So what is the point of witholding otherwise available data?
I am the opposite. For some reason, I want to eat immediately after using mouthwash, but maybe that is because I always want what I cannot have.

Well she (the oldest) already expressed an interest in coding, so that was part of it. But the general idea is to make the compute device into a creative tool a that be how she gets her start using it, rather than have it initially be just a social media interface.

When I was growing up I played a ton of video games. I got started coding because I wanted to make video games. But as soon as I started coding, the video games suddenly became less interesting. I’m hoping a similar transition occurs with her, and that would be the indication she is mature enough to use the device as a tool to achieve things rather than a passive input channel for media.
One of my ambitions in life is to make a pronunciation guide using example words that are pronounced differently by different people.
Apparently, she spent some days with Vice journalists and showed them around for an article, believing due to some documents they'd sent that they would not inquire or publish anything about her personal relationships, and when they were back they started asking about some Reddit theories about her marriage status. She implies that kind of publicity into her private affairs is incredibly dangerous to her life and can't even specify why without exposing herself to that danger, so she immediately attempted to find out and stop what Vice was going to publish without any luck. This snowballed into a long online fight where major name journalists would tweet at her but not reply to her, making her feel desperate and leading to the Medium posts compiling a bit of her story during all this.

The Internet is full of individuals with weird intentions. I don't at all see how being conservative in the kind of interactions one allows for is a bad idea.
Windows NT was intended to be multi-arch. NT 3.1 (the initial release) ran on x86, mips, and alpha; in 1993, Alpha (and generally, RISC) was clearly the future. NT 3.5 and 4.0 added PPC, also clearly the future. Windows 2000 included Alpha support up through at least Release Candidate 1. Although public builds were all 32-bit only. Having a working 64-bit system to build a 64-bit OS on is pretty useful though, because during the time of windows 2000, 64-bit was clearly the future. The Alpha architecture's very weak memory model is also super helpful as a test platform, because you have to put the right memory fences in or stuff won't work. Going from x86 to Alpha is hard, because all your insufficient fences hit all at once, going from Alpha to x86 is easy, because you've found all the missing fences already.

This is very interesting. I'm going to be excited to see what neat things can be done with it.
I know that at least Konsole, mlterm (which I use), and wezterm support iTerm's method.

Unfortunately iTerm's method does not have a googlable name like ‘sixel’.
It's complicated. Reducing calorie intake is absolutely a path to weight loss, but we tend to ignore the adaptability of the body. If you suddenly reduce your caloric intake, the body thinks it's entering into a time of scarcity and will lower its metabolic rate through hormone modulation and by shedding muscle.

This is one reason why people struggle so much with dieting. They lose lot's of weight at first, but then plateau when the body adapts. When they get discouraged and fall off the diet, they put the weight back on quickly because they now are burning less calories than when they started.

The most effective way of losing weight long term is likely some combination of a slight caloric deficit paired with resistance training (to discourage the body from shedding metabolically expensive tissue) and short bouts of reverse dieting . (ie. slight deficit for 3 weeks, then 1 week of a slight surplus, etc.)
Yes, she already independently expressed an interest. She’s being doing Swift Playground and Girls Who Code summer camps even before this.
I think it’s a reflex because we care about this sort of devices. In the same way as gun enthusiasts are overall again any kind of gun control even in dangerous cases. “It cannot be dangerous because I like it”. We need some kind of cultural shift so that people who give their kids a smartphone are shunned like people who give their kids cigarettes or beers.

Sixel has the one advantage of being mplemented in xterm and a modest number of other terminals. Otherwise, it's a pretty bad format: Inefficient. Unclear and inconsistently implemented specification. All images have to be a multiple fof 6 pixel rows, which may not align with either image height or character height.

Some terminal implement some other protocols, but attempts to specify a standard have failed. There are some tricky issues, such as: When does an image or part of an image get erased? Can you write text on top of an image and if so how are they aligned? What happens if you write an image on top of existing text? On top of an existing image? How does scrolling affect things? What happens to the image on window resize or zoom? Can you reliably update part of an image?

DomTerm (https://domterm.org) supports images in two ways:
For sixels, it creates a canvas element as an "underlay". As it is earlier in he rendering order, following text can be written on top of the image.

DomTerm also supports general HTML, including IMG elements. (Of course it is safety-scrubbed.) This is quite flexible, but it doesn't overlap regular text (without some contortions). DomTerm allows different lines to have different height, which is beneficial for "printing" an image without having to pad the output to an integral number of rows.

Neither of these DomTerm protocls are suitable for a portable protocol that can be widely implemented. Two other protocols that I'm aware of are the iTerm2 protocol and the Kitty protocol. Both are bit on the complicated side, but a subset of one of those might be an acceptable "standard".
Nice username btw.
> A notorious offender is Terry Pratchett's Discworld

The wording implies an offense has been committed, but this is not the case.

For one, because it's false: progress happens in book in Discworld. There's a series of "industry/progress" novels that illustrate change in the Discworld.

But also, because the timelessness of Discworld is what makes it appealing. With some exceptions, you can read a lot of the novels in any order. This makes them good, not bad.
From my experience on this, the single biggest determining factor on one's opinion is whether you have kids (I have elementary-age kids). We have to work like mad to limit screens, but it is an uphill battle. Their schools use them, their music teachers use them, their after-school tutoring (Kumon) uses them, and so on.

I have a vivid memory of my son's 6th birthday. At his school, kids would sit in a circle and get to ask questions to the birthday kid. One of the questions he got was: "Who is your favorite Youtuber?" His heart sank when he said he wasn't allowed to watch it, and the other kids were kind of shocked.

Based on my knowledge and experience, he is pretty good.

Problem is, I don't know how to talk and where to start conversation. I asked him if he can share a feedback for a work I am doing so far, but he is very good at hiding his emotions, praising with generic things and as an autistic, I don't get the emotions anyway.

It feels like he is trying to motivate me, because he sees gap somewhere. But no exact reason has been shared, if he sees a problem or everything is good and he just needs me in different project
Jay "Tron Guy" Maynard and Eric S Raymond have been friends in real life for a long time. Not just "a fan".
Two reasons.

1) Foremost how most of the commenters are reacting to it seems to demonstrate that many of them didn't bother reading that it's about Sweden, and are acting as if it's about the US. The discussions really aren't about the article, or prompted by the article, but about assumptions and preexisting ideas. The submitter should have indicated in the submission title that this was about Sweden.

2) https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

There's nothing particularly "interesting new phenomenon" about the majority of crimes being by a minority of people, even in Sweden. The specifics are important for social policy, but don't really cross this threshold.

It'll cost $5-$10k to move a modest household to a different state. That alone is an massive barrier for a lot of working class people/families. But you're also right that they may lose access to friends and family, which might include free childcare, rides to school, etc.
They have plenty of other office workers to talk to. For some reason, that is not enough, and the office workers need a better argument than "real product development happens at the water cooler". For the employer to make an informed decision it's better if the arguments are honest.

It can be a large win-small loss situation too. Remote workers gain two hours of commute back and forty hours of focused work. Office workers lose the open floor plan vibe (it's called back to office but tech workers don't have offices) and ability to push around their colleagues, or whichever the actual reason is. I don't understand it fully. It doesn't seem morally justifiable to me, and they encroach more on the professional autonomy on the remote worker than the remote worker does to them. The office workers wouldn't like it if they were being coerced to work from home for some BS reason.
I assume that's a slip back to the old British billion. But luckily that mistake doesn't affect that result, and does get it right in the next equation:

The fact that this is "obvious" to well informed parents who take their kids mental health seriously makes it more likely that this is correlation and not causation.

I suspect that there are elements of correlation and causation involved. I don't think it's a simple relationship.
